Somes questions

Hi all,

I have some questions:

- is this working for the G2 only or for HTC Desire Z as well. They have different hboot (with different partitions table) so I am assuming it will not work (only boot.img and system folder are present in the .zip I downloaded: Desire_S_G2_GBS_v2.1.zip)

- how to apply this ROM ? Since it is a .zip with boot.img and system folder in it, I assume this is a regular update.zip file that I need to rename and put on an SD-card. Is it the process to do ? Or do I need to use another software such as ROM Manager (as I read on some other posts) ? In the last case, do I need root before applying it ? Can I apply this on a stock ROM ?

The final question is regarding the flash process itself:

- I thought there was a signature mechanism that would not allow reflashing it. With your .zip file, it looks it can be done easily. Is there some kind of signature bypass or is there just no security implemented by HTC for this device ?

Thanks for your lights.

dunno about apns, they should be all there, iv added the cm apn db, for the ereader you can just delete it with root explorer, if it bothers you that much =P.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
first off all you have to root your device and make sure you S off, there plenty of guides to do this, also once your device is rooted and s off, you flash the cwm recovery, then you just boot into recovery mode and flash my port. again there's a guide in the sticky's on how to do all of this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] apapswiss:
I have a problem with this ROM, my phone dosen't have Data (I tried to desactivate and activate the option but he stay on "activate" status )

My operator is Swisscom in Switzerland.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
try adding your apn manually.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
sorry guys it seem i did forget to add cm's huge apn list, anyways flash this http://www.mediafire.com/?d47fadf4ue34s4g this should fix your empty apn list =). il add it to op.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] apapswiss:
Thank's

Thanks a lot for your response. It's working now

And also for your job ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
no problem glad it worked out for you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
btw guys check optional downloads for the apn patch, flash it like any other rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Q2V:
I confirm dont have phone signal, same as some posts.

It's not radio related, because flash difference radio is same result.

Flash back to other ROM, the phone have full signal!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] prittyboy203:
That sucks used to have to do that with my old g1 back in the day the most common thing people do have is another sdcard use your friends sdcard and a usb cable and put the file on theres with a pc. and do what the poster said by holding the buttons etc... And do the recover steps and you should be good not a lot of people have the micro adapter in there back pocket haha so try someones elses sdcard and put it on theres from files transfer usb. Just another option you know ;-)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
-facepalms- I should've thought of that one. I do it all the time with my nook color. I keep two sd cards for it, one 4gb for cwm and any roms I want to try, and a second 32 gb (Patriot class 10) for my media (mostly music, but 500mb-ish of eBooks too. Lol, also ironic that I dont use the nook app on it, but instead I use the Kindle app and Aldiko Premium.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
Thankfully I was about to go to lunch...so I just went to Office Max and spent 16 bucks on a 2gb microsd card with adapter. Took all of 5 secs to pull out my card, insert to adapter, place into laptop slot, open sdcard and rename the .img file and all back into G2. Booted into recover...blah blah blah....good to go now. Sheeesh! LOL
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JassyNL:
Can I flash this rom over rooted stock froyo rom or do I have to do a full wipe?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
frank if you came from a different rom other than a gingerbread sense rom, then yes you have to wipe data/cache, but its if a gingerbread sense rom then no, data should work. ok to get into recovery plug your phone it dosent matter if its stuck in the htc white logo, just leave it there, go open a cmd, locate your self inside the android sdk/pltform tools, and run this "adb reboot recovery" this should restart your device and bring it to recovery mode.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
yes you have too, froyo data will most likely bootloop your device if you leave it. just do a back up with my backup root and then restore it on gingerbread works just fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
Yeah forgot about this option, i'll know for the future i'm sure it'll happen again! Thanks. ROM looks good...even the white blank screens you have to guess where the buttons are! haha
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
just got camera/camcorder working =D, expect awesome stuff for next update
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
Woo Hoo! Thanks for the update, this ROM is working out great for me! :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
sorry to burst your bubble but i just found out that camcorder does not work, it only shows the preview, as soon as you hi the record button it crashes, but worry not camera works 100% fine
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
No major prob there bro...I prefer and use the camera more! Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
uploading v1.1, check op for changes
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Ah damn still that graphic bug! Only thing holding me from this rom. I don't use camcorder. Thanks for the update magic
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
it really docent hinder the daily use of the rom, the only place you really notice it is in the pulldown menu, and you can make it go away by taping close to were the tabs are supposed to be =P.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
update v1.1 is done uploading, check op and enjoy guys.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
btw guys please rate the rom, so it stay's longer on first page =P

I have great phone signal with the 2.1 and the newest kernel. I dunno if that kernel was included in this rom i flashed it after flashing the build.

works like a charm!

does anyone know in what file the standby animation is? then i would try to get it work...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
you should try to flash the radio that came with the official leak. you could also try and go to settings>wireless&networks>mobile networks>Network operators> and chose ether search netwroks or select automatically.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the-nj:
or it could be related with the GSM / WCDMA setting.

try settings>wireless&networks>mobile networks> and there should be the option GSM only / WCDMA only od AUTO.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] apapswiss:
I deleted my APN configuration and i flashed your update. But no APN appear on the list :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
that too could work =).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
what do you mean by standby animation?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the-nj:
I mean that cm style screen on/off animation.

I would try to edit all required xml files as i heard/read a lot of ppl would love to have that, but i couldnt find out which files are to be edited!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] apapswiss:
Another little problem, the Menu Bar when the keyboard is closed is on the right on my screen and on the bottom when my keyboard is open.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the-nj:
I foudn anopther strange issue.

the questionmark button doesn't work (for the G2)

Keypad layouts

This ROM is great, but it suffers from the same problem as SenseGinger, the hardware keypad layout isn't quite right. I have a scandinavian keypad, and with it I cannot produce exclamation marks or question marks. With SenseGinger I was able to modify the keypad layout after editing the binary file to suit my needs, but the same method doesn't seem to work in this ROM. Do we not have permanent rw on /System?

Here's the method I've used before:

$ adb push vision-keypad-nor.kcm.bin /sdcard/
$ adb shell
# su
# mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
# cp -f /sdcard/vision-keypad-nor.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars/
# sync
# reboot

I've linked to the keypad file here. I've also tried renaming the file to "vision-keypad.kcm.bin" and selecting english as my default layout, but alas, no luck. Is there something I'm not seeing? I shout and question a lot, so a functioning keypad is very necessary ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
that's because homersp edit the frameworks to make this keys work, what did he do, and how he did is a secreted to me, up try to gem em working by using the official leak
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
flash the rotating risked to get proper landscape support
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
try adding them manually. it might be that you carriers won settings are missing
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demon187:
can't use reader keeps failing had to force close did a full wipe
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JustBored:
Yes thats what I had to do. Tried several radio and RIL ver. before.

Just APN settings missing.

Insanely annoying "bug"

Alright, I found another thing with this ROM that angers me greatly. I cannot make a regular phone call while using wifi! It apparently assumes that everyone uses sip these days, so there's no option to turn it off that I can find. When I try to make a call while on wifi it just asks me whether I would like to use Phone (sip) or CSipSimple (ip). In order to make a phonecall I have to turn off wi-fi. I can receive calls while on wi-fi no problem. Why on earth is this a "feature"!?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
As stated here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12482216&postcount=299 there is no WiFi calling. Read previous posts to find your answers.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
Flashed 2.1 right over 1.4 and still running well nicely. After flashing the Green streak mod i don't get the H for signal, I only get the 3G. It does show HSMA network though...but I like seeing the H. :)

Everything else that I need is working fine. Thanks again magic!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tbalden:
Poster wants the opposite, read it again. So its a bug or something. Sip is not wifi calling.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DanWilson:
Does the green bounce mod and 2.3 screen off animation work on 2.1?

Like the official leak version?

Cos if it didn't, I'm sticking with the old leak. (MrPaveL's)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] saidelike:
OK thanks for your answers.

I have already rooted it and made it S-OFF using HTC Desire Z: Rooting .That's OK.

Regarding the ClockworkMod (CWM), I found [RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery for G2 but not sure it is also working for the HTC Desire Z. I also found [GUIDE] Perm-root, write access, Clockwork recovery and overclocking on the Desire Z which looks more promising...

So, there is no signature check made by the bootloader (hboot) when loading the custom CWM recovery as well as when loading your custom ROM (boot + system), right ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DanWilson:
It will. I'd recommend installing ROM Manager from the Market and flashing the recovery through that.

No overclocking yet on this ROM.

This.

To flash this, root, then run gfree, use ROM Manager to flash recovery, then use ROM Manager to flash this ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
I do get the green bounce after flashing the mod instead of default yellow bounce. The animations do not work on this ROM though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DanWilson:
I don't get any bounce with the stock 2.3.3 ROM...

So it definitely works? The bounce alone is better than nothing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kelvin216:
Great job on this Rom many thank you to you,is it possible next update to get trackpad wake installed
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
You're talking about the yellow or green streak when you are scrolling...right? :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DanWilson:
Yup.

(10chiz)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jpcdeux:
These dl links are horrible
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
LOL. By default on the ROM it shows yellow. If you flash the Green glow zip on OP, it does turn to to green. It is what I use. Just flash via Recovery.

hey guys what radio do you guys use in order for the signal to work on this rom?

cause im using the latest one from the radios thread (the one from 28/3/11) and i get no signal strengh
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LORD JUNIOR:
Will this be ported to the MyTouch 4G?

Straight From MyTouch 4Glacier
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
there horrible because you dint host a link for me =/.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
i get no such issue, go to network setting make sure your on gsm/wcdma
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
the ereader will force close from time to time(specially on first boot), but it wont fc when you actually use the app.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jpcdeux:
Initial slide to unlock, EReader FC then sits on HTC screen...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
yes, im aware of that and is described in current issues, you can always remove it with root explorer.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
yes but , itl be in the same state all gb sense roms are right now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stappern:
Had some battery issue today,phone full charged after a few hours I was 65% battery which is fine,took a nap ,woke up after a couple hours and battery was 5%

Anyone else same issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
its not the rom blame htc's kernel. plus depend's what you keep on always, that will drain battery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
I am using the 6.27 radio with no problems.

The reader does cc sometimes but does work as I use it and have purchased a book too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
thanks for clarifying this for everyone frank.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bzerk1:
small bug

if you go into landscape mode and back into portrait, the bottom part of rosie sticks on the right and stretches and the widgets is still in landscape sizes.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fourth Horseman:
That's what it's set to. Like I said, it only happens when I'm connected to wifi, so it doesn't sound like a mobile network issue to me, although I'm probably wrong :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
if you keep the stock rosie of course its going to do that =). its know to have issue since it does not support landscape mode.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
dunno man i make and receive calls just fine while wifi is on.

2nd mail widget is there and working just fine. =)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
try a different radio, that's all i can tell you, because gsm is working fine. il change the build.prop a little see if it makes a diference. and post it here.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
that's why every forum has a search feature, maybe next time use the search function to find the answer to your problem, and then you avoid people getting smart over something you missed =).

The radio? Yeah. Put on Root of SD card, rename to PC10IMG.zip, restart phone while holding volume down. It'll ask if you want to update, choose yes. It'll install, then ask to reboot when done. Choose yes. Radio updated.

This rom on the other hand, doesn't seem to play well with it. I can install this rom, just have an issue with No Service all the time.

are you sure if the everything is OK?

is usb internet pass-through, usb tethering can work properly?

how about the 3D games?can it work properly?

Test it with Quadrant Advance while testing 3D, it appear walking 3D view animation or just be blank black screen?

Can NFS Shift or The Sims 3 run in this rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
usb pass trough and usb tethering should work, i have no way of testing it

all games work properly, now do all of them work on 2.3.3 i have no idea pm there respective developers.

i dont get what your saying about quadrant

again for nfs shift and sims 3 pm there respective developers ask them to make them work on 2.3.3.

I flashed this rom, work great except the FC on htc reader. But never mind about that.

but i have another problem. My WiFi is blind. it's activated but he can find any AP.

I use the lastest Radio and Pershoot Kernel 0327.

anyone have this problem too?

if it's come with the kernel, it's possible to flash the kernel only?

Thx
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] apapswiss:
After testing, i have two (not important) problem, when i lauch Reader and Wireless Tether, the apps crash.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the-nj:
quadrant does do the 3D graphics and gets without oc about 1200.

radios are always working differently for each user.

I have the newest radio and it works just finew but other have to flash 6 or even more other radios to see which one is working for them.

the other thing that i could imagine why it is not working is the GSM/WCDMA setting.

or if it is just data then check all the settings in the apn and search the correct settings online and make shure you have the same!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CedricAnne97:
what languages are in this ROM? is Dutch in there? If so , I'll try it immediately (after my exam Dutch :P)

+ All roms for g2 work on DZ right?! -> first ROM I'm gonna flash :P (I'm so happy right now!)

2+ all those extra's in the first post can just be flashed after each other? like green effect, then bug fixes or something? or is it one or another?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the-nj:
Hey,

-dutch is included (just checked it)

-and this actually is a DZ rom, as far as i know because of the keyboard layout, but still yes you can flash this rom on a DZ

-if you falsh 2.1 there is only 1 patch that you can flash AFTER FINISHING THE SETUP!! and then you can flash the optional green effect.

-did you already root, s-off and flash cwm3 ?? you have to do all of that first!

have fun with that rom! its really nice!
