Recommended update procedure:
1. Download a root enabled backup application. Titanium Backup (root) is highly recommended. Backup your application data.
2. Download Gumbo ROM 1.5b and place it on your SD card.
3. Download Gumbo Kernel and place it on your SD card.
4. Reboot to recovery
5. NANDROID BACKUP
6. Verify Nandroid backup exists.
7. Wipe data/factory reset
8. Flash Gumbo ROM 1.5b
9. Flash Gumbo Kernel
10. Reboot
11. Enjoy
If coming from clean Gumbo 1.5b (no swap to MCK ) no wipe is required.
Other versions now available
Link to AOSP version
Link to 2.1_heroc version
Advanced users:
Wipe may not be necessary. Only tested on Gumbo ROM 1.5b, but should work on MCR 2.x. Others are at your own risk.
Works 100% with setcpu. Go give that man a lousy buck and support him like he supports us.
Is it working?
Verify by opening menu>settings/about phone. Kernel Version should be 2.6.27GK-0.31
Check your free RAM. Reports from testers vary between 65-80 free with all desired apps and Sense running.
Thanks to Paul O'Brien, androcheck, and those that helped test.
