[Q] Gmail Margin Problem with Gingerbread ROMs

Does anyone else have problems with the right margin in Gmail, where there's a good-sized gap of whiteness? See the screenshot below to understand what I'm talking about. It happens to me just about on every ROM that is based on Gingerbread. I can rotate my screen to landscape mode, then back to portrait, and it's fine. But, when I close Gmail, open it back up, it happens just like what you see in the attachment again. It totally sucks.
Thoughts?

Anyone have suggestions on how to fix this?

Nothing? Wow...
Just for the record, I have tried the following gapps with various Gingerbread ROMs, and these do experience the right-margin issue in Gmail.
- gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip
- gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
I've never had this problem running the following ROMs...
- Virtuous 1.0.1 (HTC Sense)
- GingerVillain 1.5 (Gingerbread)
- all Froyo-based ROMs
Just hoping someone has a simple fix, tweak or anything to get around this problem. Thanks.

Same problem on cm7

What's causing this and how can it be fixed? That's what I'd like to know.
Glad I'm not the only one experiencing this.

Not many people running gb yet, but I bet all gb users are seeing it.

I don't have this problem, not sure if I ever did but if I did, I didn't notice it. I'm running a rom that's based on a CM 7 nightly after RC2, can't remember exactly the version. First try to go in to app management and clear all app data for Gmail and see if that fixes it for you.

I've done all of that on various CM7-based ROMs, and it doesn't help. Running a ROM based on HTC Sense (i.e. Virtuous 1.0.1) has zero Gmail issues whatsoever, so it's apparently related to Gingerbread... or something Cyanogen related. I just wish that stock Gingerbread comes out soon, one that is truly AOSP based and not filled with Cyanogen. I have nothing against CM in any way shape or form, I just want to have a taste of PURE Gingerbread.

I have had problems with several verisons of gapps but this works for me : gingerbread-gapps-12302010.zip

Tried flashing the gingerbread-gapps-12302010.zip you suggested, and I'm still experiencing the same problem with the right margin in Gmail.
Thanks for trying to help me with this.

did you do a full wipe ? maybe that works.

Of course I did that. I always do a full data/cache/dalvik wipe between ROMs. I don't have this problem with non-Gingerbread ROMs.

I got the same problem

Who else is experiencing this issue?

okay so I got the same problem with my nexus one. x10,desire ž and desire hd on cm7. I'm not sure if its supposed to be this way but it's quite annoying once you notice it

I am also having this problem with Gmail on CM 7 nightly 30. Honestly I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out. Only seems to happen with text though.

New update kernel

With the new update for the evo can I now use that kernel on other roms that run 2.3 with sense 2.1 and will it fix the brightness issue?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Depends on the rom! Just from my experience the version MIK tweaked from the MikG v1.0 - Re-Engineered GB Sense 2.1 + 3.0
[Kernel] - 2.6.35.10-htc-kernal_and18-2 - from the OTA:" worked for me on misfits and of course miks rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038967
It is in his OP thread.

I am running Gengersense B4, and I spent today updating to all of the new radios. The last thing I did was find the kernel included in yesterday's Gingerbread OTA, and of course, my Wifi now says "error".
The brightness problem with the leaked GB kernel is fixed, but my wifi no longer works. Anyone else with this problem?

I'm using Sac's Kingdom Rom V4 and the new kernel fixed my brightness issue (also made everything run much smoother).

Ya I updated all that crap and then my phone wouldn't sleep. Sometimes don't fix it if it ain't broke. I will probably try it again though.

Did you update to the 2.15 PRI? I know the 1.90 was quirky with newer baseband versions and was causing wakelock. I went with 2.15 today and also update the radio to 05.02, and I'm not getting any wakelock.

Is your wifi working? I'm frustrated because I finally got this rom fixed up for everyday use, the new radios were working great, and my LAST task to update the kernel fixed the brightness, but made my wifi crap out.

There are 2 kernels out one for the stock ota update and one modified for all other ROMs make sure you have the right one .
Here is a link .

But I think you could find it in that link a few posts up from the mikg ROM.

Thanks linsalata28. I probably flashed the kernel for the stock rom. I need to flash the other kernel for Gengersense, correct?
I will post back after trying the non-stock.

I'm not using the kernel, but from what I have heard, it's breaking wifi for a lot of people.

Luckily I did a nandroid backup before flashing the kernel. Would this restore the other kernel?

[Q] some questions about official gingerbread

hi i installed official gingerbread(modded by Alex with data2ext) rom yesterday... haven't had much time using it yet to see all the changes... t first sight, nothing really spectacular, i am a bit deceived tbh.. waiting for so long for this... first thing i checked was camcorder; results 720p still sucks: it lags and i have a class 10 kingston card... then tried 480p... lags also (audio and video out of sync....).... so camcorder was not fixed.. anyway, here are some questions about the official gingerbread:
- is bluetooth fixed? (can i use a wiimote e.g.?)
- is the call delay issue found in all gingerbread roms patched by htc?
- 7 digits call id fixed? (does not seem so at first sight)
i am getting a bit bored with htc sense tbh, thought they would put latest sense on it... guess i will soon go back to custom sense 2.1/3.0 roms

do u know how can root the official gengerbread i also upgrad to the 2.3.3 and want to root it to instal recovery and use my backup

Please people, READ and use SEARCH.
There are million threads already, that the official 2.3 upgrade
CAN NOT be rooted yet after you installed on your phone due to HBOOT change.

Actually there are people saying it is possible, but majority says it is not.
You'll get a version newer/older error.

Yeah but it freezes all the time, reboots, camera don't work and still slow. Don't get me wrong it CAN be used (and I was using it for ages)... but the cons outweigh the pros as of yet and I rather use a GB ROM, a lot faster and a lot more stable. I mean kudos to the devs they're doing a great job, but it's still early days IMO

when autorotation is disabled, no more reboots or freezes in my case. And the freshnew version I'm downloading ATM should solve rotation issues
Only camera *preview* doesn't work.

If you are using anything but stock hboot you may have issues as Lenny does modify the rom to primarily suit stock hboot. It will work on other hboots but some apks are missing.
Look at alpharev website and flash back to stock hboot. Do a full wipe and then reflash the rom. From their you should find miui-au pretty stable

I had a problem once changing hboot. I read a few times on different forums that one should always use the "downgrade" hboot prior to changing hboot. Since then i did so, and did not have any problem anymore.

[Q] HTC Releases ICS for the DHD

I dont know if this is the right topic to put it but i still do it
http://nl.hardware.info/nieuws/26819/htc-maakt-bekend-welke-telefoons-een-update-naar-ics-krijgen
Is a dutch website.
It says something like, here is the list of all devices which will get an ICS update in the beginning of the year 2012.
And dhd is listed, will this mean that we get a proper ics?
And a aosp rom of it?

I don't wanna blame you, but this list is out for some time now.
And yes, it means we will get a proper ICS for DHD. Or at least the right Camera drivers for DHD!!! There are already some nice Builds to use!

Yea i know there are different roms avaible, but their all ports of other devices, and none of them run flawlessly, and it doesnt seem to matter which radio you use.
Therefore i asked if there will be a proper aosp ics rom?

Think it was more like an announcement from HTC that ICS will be coming to these devices in the next few weeks.
So I guess HTC will release "ICS" for HTC Ace around April 1st ^_~ lol

Don't get your hopes up. HTC takes forever to roll out updates

No, not until HTC releases their drivers and kernel.

I am currently on IceColdSanwich and I love it. But the glitches and things.. Well if HTC is smooth and fast (well maybe!!) I might give up on flashing my phone every week.

cant wait to get the ice from htc but wright now im on the IceColdSandwich - 7.0 - AOKP | ERROR404 EDITION and it runs great
