This might be a really silly question, but as i've read if i'm already on the pervious version i can just flash this over the top, but should i clear the Dalvik Cache first?

I did it anyway. The update went smoothly :)

Ok I cleared the phone & reinstalled. The rotation is working again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fade2black101:
Testing out your ROM now.. Really like it. However, I was wondering if it is possible to change the system font? I quite like the MeXDroid font and have been trying to find out how to download it and install it to this ROM with no luck.

Is this possible?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shure2:
Wow I came from senseless romeo and I didn't think that could get much better, but it turns out I was wrong!

Only visible improvements so far are better graphics on the top bar and a better lock screen like on sense 3.0

Why don't the devs use launcherpro too!? It's butter smooth compared to adw

Crazy high quadrant too in the 2700 region. Don't say quadrant results are rubbish because this rom is so much faster than others with lower results.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] killswitch11:
Sigh... this is disappointing. I love CM7 in general for it's features and speed. With Launcher Pro, it's buttery smooth. But I see the same old problem is present. GPS works like arse. Takes forever to lock and often loses signal during navigation. I have tried it all from wiping the efs to flashing the latest radio. So it's back to a stock-based ROM. I wonder why the G2 has fallen through the cracks with GPS. It was seriously addressed on the Evo 4G, but ignored by the CM devs on the G2. I guess that's the pitfall of having a less "popular" phone. However I'll hold out some hope that GPS is fixed by the time 7.1 stable lands.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] flip3547:
Try this, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=801160, use the EDIFY fonts. I've tried a bunch of these and they work well. I'm using the Sony Sketch right now. They are flashable through recovery. I had to mount/system under mounts and storage in CWM. Hope this helps.

is this happening to anyone? any help?

Ive seen this alot, my guess is its wierd lighting conditions and a fingerprint on the trackpad. Usually ill clean my trackpad with some isopropyl and a cloth and the problem goes away until i get it smudged again, once it starts doing it its my hint to clean my screen and trackpad lol. Has been working for me so give it a shot bro.

You could try this

EDIT: I've tried it on Xboarder 2.4 (CM7 Nightly 100+) and it's working perfect! (replaced the file before flashing....)

EDIT 2: Attached file.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Crey23:
I have to say I am a big fan of CM's work, but was turn off when the 7.x version came out. I had lots of bugs, system was slow, and constant issues, regardless of the nightlie that I might have been running. For the past few months I have been running sense, miui, and other cm builds and mods....I finally came back upon CM7.1 stable was released.

I have to say I am vey happy I waited. I don't have any of the old issues. My phone is running very smooth and FAST!!!! Much faster than any other rom for that matter. I tested NETFLIX this morning and found it to start rather slow, and slightly choppy, but it could have been a poor connection on my end. once I got good wifi reception, the video was very smooth, and the app very responsive.

Overall, this is the best version of CM7.x released to date (at least for me).

Thank yo CM for you great work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fade2black101:
Tried it out (also the SonySketch rom) and it worked great. Very happy with it. Even though there are a lot to choose from, I'll probably just stick with this one.

Thanks for your help!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] flip3547:
No problem! Glad I could help!:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
My wife and I are REALLY big fans of Netflix, she went out to (get this) purchase G2s just to watch Netflix on. On CM6.1.1 Netflix runs without any signs of choppiness, but on any of the CM7s stables or nightlies its choppy. I've been told that it is a LIB issue within Android itself, which can be fixed, its just not a priority right now. I sure do hope that on the upcoming stable version the LIB issue will be addressed.

If you think your Netflix is smooth on any of the latest CM roms, try CM6.1.1 and you'll see smooth as butter even on a 3G connection.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cpom1:

[PATCH] Netflix Fix (Should work on most ROMs)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AZ2ENVY:
What are the visual improvements on 7.1 over 7.0.3 ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
I guess there are no visual improvements, but the most important is the update from 2.3.3 -> 2.3.4 Android.

Have you guys tested the battery life with 7.1 RC1? I'm having about 30-40% less battery life with RC1 as I had with 119 nightly. What could cause this? I can't see any battery- or cpu related changes in the changelogs but after a full wipe and a clean install the stock ADW.Launcher is much more slower and buggier than it was with 119 nightly... it tells me that the cpu is under heavy use all the time.

EDIT: Hmm, the same 30mA seems to be the idle consumption. I guess it's time to calibrate the battery.

EDIT2: There are still problems with Widgetlocker lockscreen and CM Theme chooser etc. Could this be fixed to be able to allow users to use Widgetlocker again? It would be highly appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ultma75:
Stock lasted me 30 hours with 30% remaining
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] akafaze:
After using this rom for 2 days, its a stable rom with a few annoying bugs. I have not flashed any kernels or themes, everything is stock CM7.1. I also used SuperWipe before flashing this rom to ensure it being a fresh flash.

-Sometimes when I plug my charger in, the car mode app will launch. When I choose to exit car mode, the notification saying car mode is disabled. I'd have to reboot my phone to get rid of the notification.

-I'm experiencing random browser crashes randomly. This tends to happen around 30% of my web browsing on my phone throughout the day. I use the internet on my phone a lot.

Aside from those 2 bugs I've been experiencing, this is a very fast and stable rom. I haven't even used setcpu to overclock it yet, if it keeps running like this I won't have to.

Great work CM7 team, can't wait for RC2.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
It appears to be overclocked by default to 1GHz though, unlike 7.0.3 which wasn't overclocked as standard.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
Hey, how about the trackpad light for notification use? Has it ever been possible to customize with cyanogenmod? It's quite useful light as it's much more brighter and larger than the charger light - how could it be enabled?

EDIT: Led me know beta seems to do the trick.

EDIT 2: No it doesn't, it causes problems.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
AWESOME!!! i'll check it out, and report back. Thanks boloj! :)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cpom1:
Im using it and haven't had any problems...what kind of problems are you having?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
Nope! This patch doesn't work. I tried it on the (latest) CM Nightly #123 and even though it is playable, but choppy. No where near a Froyo (2.2) rom smoothness. I first tried the minimal, then the full, which both video playback didn't have any changes. i uninstalled and re-installed the Netflix app, even cleared the cash, with no success.

Reading some of the comments in the thread, the patch isn't for the fps issue.

I do though appreciate everyone's hard work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
Well, I can't get any of the trackpad flashing frequencies working, trackpad flashes only rarely if even that and the charging led stays on all the time etc. I think there's a problem between the cyanogenmod's notification led-setting and led me know... I let it go already, have to stay with the stock one.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] loomism2:
Is anyone else having the issue of the phone acting like it is getting a notification but there isn't one? My phone has done it probably 10 times tonight and I can't figure out what is triggering it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] boloj:
It worked for me it may not be as fast as 2.2 but it's better than it was
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
Hmmh. Something is taking more juice than it did before RC1 came out. I charged my phone during the evening, and disconnected it from the charger before I went to bed... in the morning there was only 92% of charge left compared to 100% with nightly 119 and Streamline5. All the settings should be similar, no syncs or anything during night and underclocked to 112MHz. Also the ADW.Launcher seemed to be veeeeery slow straight after fresh install, I had to replace it with LauncherPro immediately. There must be something in the background, which I can't see.

That's the screen on/off animations, they're in CM settings.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Should just be able to install them over what you currently have installed, though you may need to wipe their data after reboot.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tangiers:
I know battery life can be very subjective and imprecise, but I too seemed to have a shorter battery life with RC1 than the latest nightlies, even with clearing Dalvik and fixing permissions etc. Back on nightly and battery life is amazing again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
Well, RC1 is a nightly too. If you updated RC1 to a later nightly, the battery life should be somewhat similar. I had much worse battery life with RC1 than I had with nightly 119. Now I'm running MIUI, because the nightlies weren't as good in battery life as they were before.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bboran:
Well the rom is just perfect but i can not connect to my wifi network via WPA security. If i change my wireless security to wep it connects without problem. So anyone having this issue? I realy need help cause i dont want to use WEP. Thank you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
I'm using WPA2-PSK, and it's working without any problems. Try using it if WPA doesn't work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bboran:
Thank you very much Kenzy WPA2-PSK worked! I have also have 2 question.

1-I have installed google apps from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version/Google_Apps

but it failed to install them. i installed the zip without any problem but when i open the phone and try to download the apps it said "not available". i have downloaded gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip is this not the correct one for my phone (t-mobile g2). also how can i now remove the failed google addons from my rom and re install them ?

2-does cyanogenmod includes stock apps or does it get rid of them? if it doesnt contain stock apps is there any other unnecessary apps that i can uninstall (with titanium backup) from rom?

and yes i am addicted to minimalism :D

Thank you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
Yeah, this one: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip is the correct one. Just go to clockworkmod recovery, choose install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> select the zip and istall it. It should work without problems. After installing it could be wise to use advanced -> fix permissions in clockworkmod recovery too, it fixes the permissions for all the apps to ensure that they're going to work properly. There're only a few apps included in cyanogenmod and most of them can be uninstalled via titanium backup. However, all those system-apps are wise to leave as they are, to avoid force closes etc.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] XxFerociouS:
Why is my battery life so horrible over night??

Lastnight I charged my phone to 100 % and calibrated the battery

Then I went to sleep and woke up with only 8% !

I turn my wifi off and everything

I'm using the .30 radio with umaro kernal 1.5
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Take a look at the battery usage and see what's there
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
Yup, some process must be eating your battery. With the default cyanogen kernel it shouldn't take more than 10% over night, if you don't have all the syncs and wifis on etc.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] XxFerociouS:
there's Cell standby 41 percent.

Phone idle 40 percent

And wifi is 19 % since I just turned it on

Does anyone have the cyanogen stock kernal that I can install to see if its better?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mejorguille:
1.Wipe cache, reflash the latest gapps from recovery, and run a fix_permissions from terminal/rom manager/recovery.

2. Just about 90% of all the apps can be removed without harm. I for one have a script to delete wifi calling&libs, gan optimizer, FM radio, music, adw, voice dialer, ota killer, update notifier etc. There is a page on the CM wiki that lists what is safe to remove, id link it if I was on my computer lol but search for it it should come up. Use common sense though, don't delete the settings app, or the launcher without having a replacement launcher. If you screw anything up just reflash the latest nightly/RC.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
Care to share your script?? I myself dont know how to script so i always remove some of the stuff i dont need, alot of which you mentioned, i use TB to do it, gets a bit tedious everyday lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mejorguille:
I could share my script..... but what good will that do? You probably have different tastes than me anyway so why don't I teach you so you can make your own :P

There's a few ways to approach this. You could make a simple .sh file to run in terminal, a flashable zip that will do it for you from recovery, do it from your computer before you install it, etc. For my mini-guide I'll show how to make an sh file, which you can make straight from gscript. Gscript is a free app on the market that is excellent for making/executing scripts.

So once you have gscript installed, use menu->Add script to create a new script

Name is whatever you want (declutter, optimize, make me slim etc lol)Make sure needs su is checked.

You will need to type in the following code. What it does is lets you copy/erase things from /system.

mount -o rw,remount /system

Still with me? Good. Now list the apps to remove, add in a new line that says this:

rm -f /system/app/

This code tells android to remove the android app in that specific location.

Next step is to find the apk name of the app. Lets use the development app. It doesn't contain anything most users would understand how to use, and I don't need it. Its apk name is Development.apk, so just plug that in to the script. The final product would look like this:

mount -o rw,remount /system
rm -f /system/app/Development.apk

Save it and run the script. The development app will be gone! :P To remove more, just repeat the rm -f /system/app/(name).apk like with the appropriate app name. You can look up the app names using this: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones

Oh haha, I should also mention that there are tons more things you can do with this. You can change out the bootanimation, push apps to /system for you (a launcher for example), etc.. But that's up to you to figure out how to do lol.

There! I hope I explained it good enough lol. You only have to do this once, and everytime you flash a new nightly/rc/stable, just run the script. Hope this helps!:cool:
