[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I completely agree with the first paragraph of the OP. I swear, I could have written it myself.

The nerd in all of us wants the "latest and greatest", and that is fully understandable. But the fact of the matter is that GB has not been officially released yet for this hardware. All the custom GB ROMs are ports, and therefore buggy. I tried various CM7 builds for a while, at first I liked CM7. But eventually the minor bugs all got to me, and I'm on to Virtuous (but using ADW EX instead of the Sense launcher).

Aside from the bugs you mentioned, the camera button on CM7 is really laggy compared to Virtuous (or even the stock Desire Z ROM). And the GPS issue is a constant worry to me. I was able to fix it on RC1, RC2 was fine as-is. But the fact that some people have issues, others don't, and it seems to be radio related, has me thinking its a locational problem. And since I travel frequently for work, it has me less than confidant that I will have a working GPS when I really need it.

Also, there is really not a whole lot different in GB aside from some more consistent theming and a better keyboard. Sense already polishes a lot of the ugly theming in Froyo, and I use Swype anyway, so those GB benefits pretty much are moot for me. I'm sure there are performance enhancements and other small fixes in GB as well, but the performance difference seems to be negligible to me.

This is obviously a matter of personal taste. But I don't think the OP is anywhere near alone, judging from the still decent traffic on the Virtuous thread.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raitchison:
I'm sure that eventually there will be an official 2.3 release from HTC/TMO, once that's been made root-friendly that should be more like what you want. I actually wouldn't be surprised if it were already ready to go but is being held back until HTC gets their Sense 2.3 updates ready.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dietotherhythm:
Have to say I agree with your topic man, I am not a big fan of CM, yet that's all that seems to come out anymore, it makes me almost want to switch devices just for some other rom support ~_~
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustrho:
Every ROM has some issues to them, and if I come across one I'd like to report it in the ROM's dedicated thread here. And even though I'm using Virtuous as my daily ROM of choice and I don't have problems with it, I enjoy trying out other ROMs because I'm a flash-a-holic. I enjoy trying out new ROMs.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
HTC has stated that Gingerbread is coming to the Desire Z this spring. No mention so far of a more "vanilla" G2-type flavor.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanWilson:
I have 2 problems.

1.

This ROM is NOT Stock Gingerbread. It's based off of CM7 sources. I wanted to build a stock AOSP 2.3 ROM, but I can't on a 32 bit PC.

2. In the first post you mention the source. You do realise it is released?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustrho:
Just thought I'd update everyone here with my search for a really well made Froyo ROM. Friday night I flashed the pure 100% stock Froyo that was tweaked ever-so-slightly to allow root use and OC’ing, and I’m more than pleasantly happy with this ROM. It’s fast, stable and EVERYTHING works! Maybe going with stock isn't such a bad thing, right? I can easily say I’m not going to use any GB ROMs until Google/TMO releases it and devs here use that code instead of buggy CM7 code (since the majority of GB ROMs are based off that).

[Droid 2 Android Development] bladearronwey:
Find the 2.3.20 full sbf file and hook the phone up and flash it. As long as you get a bootloader screen or the like you can recover regardless of what's messed up, including the recovery.

If you could post more detail about what your phone is displaying when you turn it on, that would go a long way to helping you out further
[Droid 2 Android Development] bladearronwey:
TBH did not release the sbf for the unofficial OTA to GB, if you broke it you have to flash back to Froyo and start over using the 2.3.20, especially if you installed the version with the bad recovery (released on accident). Slide your keyboard out and power it on while holding the UP arrow, it should load up the bootloader screen and then you can connect to RSD lite and flash away. Make sure after you flash you fire up the stock recovery and do a factory reset (hold x till the android guy and triangle appear, then press the search button on the keyboard), sometimes the phone will bootloop otherwise after a flash.
[Droid 2 Android Development] kp432:
I was still running froyo, never upgraded in any way to GB. Downloaded RSD lite 4.9, and updated my drivers. The sbf file i used was 2.3.20, the RSD could never find my phone. I tried to run as Administrator but can't figure out how to do it, I've tried every way. Running Vista on Desktop, and 7 on laptop. Still no luck.

the phone will not charge at all, I have to use a separate battery charger. If I press the power button the Moto Sign comes on and stays froze at this screen, until battery is pulled. I can get into the phones stock recovery, (power+x), I have wiped and reset, but just to get the Moto sign froze again. Several attempts on that one. Once battery is charged enough, I can connect with USB (power+up), to RSD lite. But RSD will not find phone. That's when I read that they haven't released the sbf file I need for the last OVA update, before the GB OVA update.

Thanks
[Droid 2 Android Development] Rav20:
First go here http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...rld-present-droid-2-2-3-20-triple-threat.html

down load the drivers for Moto connect (more like the reason RSDLite wont see your phone)

make sure you have either RSDlite 4.8 or 4.9

download the 2.3.2 sbf file

Switch your device to PC mode

Turn on debugging mode (settings>applications>development>debugging mode)

Launch RSDLite (make sure device appears in window)

Select SBF

Start

Device will switch to bootloader and begin the flashing process and will reboot when it is complete.

Hi, I installed Cyanogenmod 7 on my Mytouch 3g slide after I rooted it and all that sucessfully but I don't have any google apps like market. When I flashed again I got the same thing. After that I downloaded and installed the correct Google Apps in the recovery mode. When I flashed it I just went back to a stock rom basically.

All I want is to be able to have the android market on my phone while it's running Cyanogen or any other rom. Please tell me if there are any ROMS out there that come with Market and the htc sense. If not, it would be great if i can solve this problem.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cramill:
You need to get the correct gapps for your CM version and flash them after flashing CM and before rebooting.

I had a similar problem when trying to install CM6. I was trying to flash the CM7 gapps and nothing was working.

Since I am a relatively new user I can't post ouside links, but try: wiki dot cyanogenmod dot com / index dot php ? title = Latest_Version # Google_Apps

with the spaces removed and .'s instead of dot's.

There you can find the correct gapps. And make sure to flash CM, flash gapps, then reboot.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cramill:
If its Froyo and Sense you want - HTC released the 2.2 update recently, but if you want root, there is the CR ROM that is almost the same as the 2.2 update HTC released.

CM7 and the correct gapps, won't have HTC Sense.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyRCode:
I was having the same problem.

The old WiFi tethers broadcast in ad-hoc networks, which android can't see.

I downloaded the newest version of WiFi Tether and it can broadcast in infrastructure mode and my Xoom was able to connect to that.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClydeB1:
IIRC I just downloaded it and side-installed the apk as one would any standard application. I think you probably need to be rooted however. What rom are you running on your HD2?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlst1989:
I am running the original 6.5 windows mobile.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClydeB1:
That explains things - the application is an Android app as denoted by the .apk extension and therefore won't install on WM 6.5.

I left WM roms far behind. As soon as Cotulla released his magldr and the first NAND Android rom (31/12/10) I've never used another WM rom. Just flash your HD2 to a NANDroid rom and problem solved. If you want to stick with WM though you will have to look for another solution that runs on WM.

I'm not sure that there are any WM WiFi solutions that use infrastructure mode as it seems they only work in ad-hoc mode. If you don't want to flash your phone then you will need to get the Xoom to recognise an ad-hoc connection. I have seen some posts on this forum of people trying to do this but AFAIK they haven't succeeded yet.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ianas:
Same here. I bounced back and forth between WinMo and Android on my HD2 during the SD card months, but when Magldr came out I went green and never looked back. Still, while I was in WinMo I looked and looked for a ROM that could do infrastructure mode (for my PS3, Wii, etc.) and had no success. It has to be enabled at the driver-level, and it looks like the newer Android drivers for the wifi chip in the HD2 support infrastructure mode and the old WinMo drivers don't. To make matters more depressing, the drivers aren't open source (as far as I can find) they're only distributed as binary modules, so we can't easily tweak the driver to enable the mode in WinMo.

Short answer, while nothing is impossible - this may as well be. Welcome to Cyanogen Mod 7, my friend.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjm00:
Just wondering something here. How many devices do you think Verizon is having to replace/refund/take back for light leakage, dust under the screen, broken volume rockers, sunk power buttons, etc etc etc? How much money is Verizon losing over replacements getting swapped, possibly running out of stock for new customers, and losing business because people get sick of trying to find one? Will it get to a point where vzw starts taking the issue up with HTC for loss of revenue? Or am I just thinking too much about it? I've personally swapped 2 devices. And do you think HTC will ever clean up their manufacturing so we don't keep having to accept devices with the least fault simply because a replacement might have worse problems?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chino0131:
Honestly, this isn't anything new. HTC had this same issue with the EVO. Apple has had it with the iPhone, iPad and iPad2. Those are just the ones I've had personal relations with as I had the EVO, wife had the original iPad, and my niece has the iPad2. My coworkers had some of the issues you listed with their Droids. Nothing has changed and in my opinion, the profits companies make isn't comparable to what you think is a loss. Most consumers don't notice or care about the issue. If they do, their returned device gets sold, or given away, again as a refurbished phone.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjm00:
Yeah. I guess you're right. Its just unfortunate that it has come down to this. Do the evos still have the issues even brand new ones?

I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, but most of these "issues" that people have been having are wayyyyy over blown. I mean light leakage? Really? people have nothing better to do than notice a tiny bit of light leakage? Yes, mine has it too, but I would have never noticed it if someone else on here hadn't mentioned it. Coming from a picky person, I don't say this lightly. But most of the things that people are whining about happen to just about every manufacturer of electronic devices.If you want build quality then find someone to build a 2k device. This is merely a situation of you get what you pay for. Personally, I love my phone, and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. I've had moto's, and nokias before. Their build quality is no better than HTC(actually Moto is much worse.). Last, paying attention to build quality issues on a message board is the same as working in a car dealer for brand X and saying that all brand X cars sucks because all you have are problems coming in on those cars. We are a very small subset of phone buyers and we will notice problems that MOST people won't.

I have gotten a Thunderbolt with a blown out speaker and crooked kickstand and another with major light leakage. It was so bad it looked like there were 2 leds on the bottom of the soft buttons under the buttons. When trying to use your phone in the dark it is not acceptable and I don't blame people for being upset. If im going to shell out $600 or sign a contract for something it better not be flawed out of the box.

Not the best, but not bad

I understand that everyone wants their new $200+ phones to have been constructed to a dimension accuracy of a micron, but I guess its inevitable given the mass production process... I personally have really bad light leakage, but it doesn't really affect daily use so why make a big fuss over it? At least verizon is replacing them and not blaming us for "holding it wrong." Cough. Cough.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjm00:
My first thunderbolt, the light leakage, was so bad you could see a steady line of light pouring out, forming a giant U from the bottom of the left side of the LCD, going all the way around to the bottom of the right side of the LCD, where the glass meets the bezel. I'm sorry, but when I'm paying 250 plus dollars for a flagship device, I expect a little quality control. These aren't things we should just have to expect and live with.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1454:
Exactly. At least our phones don't suffer from the death grip.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1454:
Then return it and get another one. With any electronic device you can expect a 10% or more defective rate. I'm not saying that none of the problems exist, but they exist with all phones, not just yours. You were just one of the "unlucky" 10% or so.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjm00:
I swapped out today. It just seems unfortunate that issues like the light leakage (it may not be a big deal to some, but others it does matter) are something that people have come to expect and seem to have to live with. Especially when it seems like its as simple as the bottom of the screen not getting sealed as well as it should. Maybe I'm just picky, but ill keep taking phones back until I'm a satisfied customer.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1454:
And that's fine, the customer should be satisfied. But, there are alternative methods out there to seal the phone from that light leakage. A very small bead of black silicon should do the trick. It just seems like people expect 1000+ dollar build quality from a few hundred dollar device. If you want to take the phone back 50 times, that is your choice. However, being picky is not a build quality issue.
