[ROM] Liberty Gingerbread

[mkowske]

Hi, two questions --

1) The 1st page links to and talks about LGB v0.6 but I see a lot of people talking about 0.7. Is the main page just outdated?

2) I'm currently running v2.0.1 -- is there likely to be an easier upgrade path as LGB becomes more mature or is it always going to be installing two separate vanilla GB versions, then going to the LGB build? Trying to decide if I should wait for this to develop some more before installing...

1) v0.7 is only available in the Liberty Donate Toolbox in the Market. It cost $5, and you will always get the latest builds, v0.8 should be coming soon. They release previous versions to the public after the donate people get it and after it is confirmed to be stable. Not every release becomes a public release. Sometime we have to deal with new bugs, but are the first ones to have the old bugs patched.

2) Well the two part GB build is in two parts b/c that is the only way to get a rooted version of GB at this moment. They used to have a way to get from 2.0.1 to LGB, but it involved going through multiple GB leaks. Now when you get on the official rooted version of GB, you can just flash v0.6 (or v0.7) right over it, then you are good to go. I hear they are working on a direct path to go from 2.0.1 to LGB, but I prefer to install the official version of GB, then make a backup, so if I need to get to stock GB for future OTA updates or if I wanted to change ROMs (<--- ha), I could just restore my backup and not have to SBF. Just my way of thinking though.

Anyone notice for Facebook, when scrolling it flashes between a white and black background.... see screenshots::

Really messes with the eyes.. just does it the whole time. On .7 now, but it did it on .6 too

It looks as if, while scrolling it brightens up and once you stop it dims.

Side note: Saw a tweet from jrummy16 last night, said that v0.8 should be here soon.

I know it's awesome. I keep checking my toolbox

Hopefully they can fix it, it's tripping me out

That makes sense, thanks. I would like to have gingerbread on my phone but would rather not have to backup/install/redo my home screen every few weeks either. Do the version numbers < 1.0 signify beta releases? Should I wait or are things pretty set now?

Yes, although it's pretty darn stable and the bugs people are finding we're working steadily to rectify.

Updated OP with new links.

Can I just flash 07 over 06 without wipe or anything or how will I go about installing?

You can flash 0.7 over 0.6 without a data wipe. Data wipe is only going to be needed when moving to 0.8 or newer

You Could but I like to always wipe to have the cleanest ver possible. It also helps the devs have accurate data that in the end helps make a better rom for everyone!

Crap v.8 requires a data wipe? Makes it more difficult to get my home screen like I have it and all customs. Love liberty though so will be dl no matter wat

I use launcher pro and it had the option to backup your home screens (except the widgets). Easy
