[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
A friend of mine already asked me about the Samsung vs HTC debate, therefore I have already put some thoughts into it. My conclusion is simple, there are two factors to look for: performance/battery life and dev community.

If the performance and battery life is the same or similar, I would go with HTC any time. Samsung has a lot more proprietary drivers (at least for now), therefore there are a lot more issues with Samsung that cannot be fixed. I feel like HTC phones allow you for much more freedom in terms of customization (again, for now). CM7 clearly has more issues on my S2, despite the fact that there is an impressive team of devs following it.

Unfortunately, judging by the rumors about the specs, it looks like the S3 will once again be much superior to any HTC phone. The HTC One X has Tegra 3, while the S3 will have an exynos CPU that will most likely be much superior and probably even consume less battery (being that it is a 32nm cpu, vs 40nm Tegra 3). Tegra 3 does have a "5th core" that is used for anything that does not require much processing power, but I am not sure that this is a solution to the issue. I have a gut feeling that it will make the phone less snappy, but I guess we will see.

In any case, I would wait for a month or two after the release to see how things develop. It will be much easier to see if one of the phones is clearly better (like in the case of the S2), and it will also be clear if there is a solid dev community following it (I am looking specifically for CM/AOSP built from source, I am not a fan of modding stock ROMs). It is pointless to have a good phone, like the HTC Sensation for instance, but no CM team following it closely. I would much rather have a slightly slower phone, or a phone with more proprietary drivers in the case of Samsung, than a phone that will not have CM7/CM9 on it.

I have tried many modded stock ROMs on the S2, which most people use, but there is no way around it: once you're used to CM, there is no going back. The details make the difference, there are just too many tweaks and little things that make CM just too good to give up, despite the issues that might arise here and there and cannot be fixed due to Samsung not releasing the source code for their drivers.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
The new release is being uploaded right now. I have decided to make a quick release right now, so that I don't feel pressured to make one with Aroma, which will probably be in the next release. I still haven't looked at it, but I hope it doesn't take me too long to pick it up and have it do what I want it to do.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
No, this kernel will only work on CM7/MIUI roms.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
I'm surprised by the fact Samsung is not prone to releasing any drivers. I mean, it IS proprietary but they've really locked down the possibilities for ROM development. Isn't the DEV community expressing it's concerns about this?

With that said, if you are going to use Aroma, will the ILWT.txt support be deprecated? Or are you going to give the option to either use the .txt or use the configuration from Aroma?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
ILWT.txt will always be there. What I am thinking, if possible, is to have Aroma ask you if you want to use ILWT.txt or go step by step. If going step by step, I'd like to save the values picked in ILWT.txt, so that next time you can just select ILWT.txt without having to go through all the steps again. Sort of a ILWT.txt configurator. This is what I have in mind, I am not sure if it is possible. I'll take a look during the week.

swap enabled on this update, tsubus?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Wotan1:
I have the same problem. Battery fully charged but the indicator shows only 50% (see pic attached). Is there any solution for this? Sorry if this has been asked before, but I have not found the solution.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] azrash:
if you can access the battery's temperature graph, can you check the graph? Non-original battery would have an almost flat graph. with non original battery, the reading is always off and inaccurate

Original ones have a temperature sensor, and mine never drop below 30 Celsius, and when it is charging, it goes up to around 36-38.

hope this'll help
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Wotan1:
Thanks for the answer but it's not a problem of battery's temperature. That's fine: 26°C. My battery is the original.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
If anything, the cooler the battery... the better. I have a suspicion that it's some third party app hogging resources and draining the battery. Most people claim this is one of the most battery efficient roms out there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Wotan1:
I may not express myself well. My English is very bad. After several hours of charging the battery, the indicator displays only 50%. However, the voltage is correct, but I can not see never 100%.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] azrash:
I suggested you to check the temperature graph because my friend was tricked by the shop. The shop changed the original battery to some fake battery, and it looks exactly the same. The only way we know that it is fake is by checking the temperature graph, it remained flat at 25.8 Celsius, which is around the temperature of your battery. The battery reading would be off, it shows 60% but the voltage is 4200 which is full capacity.

If you have checked the temperature graph, and confirmed that it is not flat at 26 Celsius which means it is original, the chip in the battery might be malfunctioning. Because the ROM relies on the battery's chip for its reading
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kevdawg:
You might need a new battery. That fixed it for me. 20 bucks on amazon.

I have 364 version now, can I flash 376 over it without wipe?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
Yep. Always okay, unless indicated otherwise.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] azrash:
you can install this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw&feature=related_apps let it run for one day, and then observe whether there is any temperature change during normal usage or charging. If it doesn't change, I am afraid that it is not an original battery :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Wotan1:
Thank you. Before your advice, I have found in the market "Battery Info".

After 7 hours of charging, the battery showed 65%. I rebooted the device and then showed 85%. Then I used "Battery Info" for 3 hours and these are the graphs:

never had issues with battery, wipe stats solved it, so i think it´s an issue by the hardware. using mugen-battery :)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] azrash:
so it is an original battery. I believe it is time for you to change your battery(claim for an exchange if it is still under warranty) since this is a hardware issue. my original battery for the G1 had the same issue after two years

you can try Incredible S's battery if you are going the original HTC route since it offers an extra 100 mAH(1450mAH) or use a Mugen/Seidio. personally, im using an Incredible S's battery as my main one, and the original Desire Z's battery as a backup
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] smakme7757:
This is a really snappy ROM, I've never tried it before. I installed with the default install (didn't change the text file) and it is very smooth.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] agazza:
Maybe a newbie question, but what is "latest cm7 commits" exactly?

The commits part. I tried google, but apparently. I´m stupid.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
Any noticeable kernel improvements?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jethro650:
Simply put-->the latest changes to CM7
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
I see.... yeah, I agree. your battery is bad. no doubts at this point. sometimes, you can even look at the battery and see it actually swollen (fat) when the cells go bad. I'd replace it with a good name brand or oem if possible.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dimitri_010:
Just flashed this rom for the first time...

Can't seem to connect to Google Servers at all. I have added my account, and it syncs my contacts, but the data bars remain grey, and my GTalk, Gmail, Market, do not sync up/download.

Any suggestions?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pepar0:
Just reboot. Worked for me (don't know why, though).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Wotan1:
I have doubts whether to buy an original (1300 mAh) or Mugen (1800 mAh). Any suggestion?

(Sorry if it's off topic)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] azrash:
I'll buy an original Incredible S battery because it is slightly larger capacity(1450mAH) yet it fit nicely in our device. According to Battery Boss's testings, most of the third party branded ie Mugen, Seidio etc does not have the capacity advertised, most have 70-85% of the capacity advertised. Can check it here batteryboss.org
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] potentdro:
Had the same issue too. data bar was gray. Notification popped up saying Google Talk failed to sign in or whatever. I couldnt install anything in the Market. It wouldnt update to Play either.

Rebooting didnt work. Ended up having to wipe and flash again. This time, during start up, right after I sign into my Google account and Gapps kicked in, I tapped OK and went directly to the Market and downloaded whatever Google app. It downloaded and the set-up process continued. Tapped finished and the home screen showed Play instead of Market.

First time flashing the ROM, I skipped the Gapps part, so maybe that was why there was an issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dimitri_010:
I'll have to give this a try, as I think I skipped the market set up in the beginning as well.

Rebooting did not work for me either.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fidyyuan:
I'm not quite sure why but the MMS feature doesn't work. I'm on 3g and I have full bars but it just never goes out. Anyone have a fix? I've rebooted, wiped cache and dalvik cache and fixed permissions.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrbmg:
I'm having problems with mms as well on 376. I know it worked on the previous version. Can anyone else duplicate as well? I'm on wifi, and I was able to receive a few days ago, but today my wife tried to send me something and it just says downloading, and I tried to send her something and it just says sending....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] frankth3frizz:
Can't receive MMS either. I'm on go SMS
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrbmg:
I wiped cache + davlik and that seemed to have worked temporarily, hopefully permanently lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] RushAOZ:
Sometimes when using the onscreen keyboard, certain keys stop working. Is this an android os thing? Or more of a touch sensor problem? Happened on my epic, and nexus too. But no where near as much as it happens on my g2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] whitepandaaa:
is zram available on this rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
Ok, the first problem with this rom was this:

I don't have sound.... When i try controling the sound via the volume buttons, it aways gives me the "media volume" screen, not the device's volume... So i wiped, it was fixed, then, i ran the music app, and the music app got laggy, then the problem went back again (still formatted, no apps installed)... So i wiped again, and froze the music app... The problem is still there... So i wiped again (again!) And i installed a sense rom, which i'm not happy about...

I don't know if this is a cm, or an ilwt issue, but its an issue that disturbs me... Please fix it... Either you, or cm team...

SWAP

Are you going to fix the swap, and when? crashes me an error.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
@PeMo19946 SWAP is NOT going to give you any notable performance increase, if any. It will instead drain your battery, and wear your SDCard. It is only useful on Sense 3.X.

With that said, why do you want SWAP?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PeMo19946:
Hmmm, I thought that the swap increases performance, maybe in games,

So no need to SWAP? does not help so much?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
No, by no means. I can run Shadowgun with zero stutter and I have no swap. This ROM leaves about 150~ MB, and you'll usually never find yourself below 90. The system can always free up plenty for games to run, so it's no issue. Please stay away from swap in general, it's a bad idea, even with Sense.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] agazza:
How do i remove swap partition if i created one?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
Well, you have to repartition the sdcard, and for that you'll need an sdcard reader. Can't do it from the phone.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ernestnwanu:
Should be possible in recovery..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] agazza:
Ah, thanks

Don't think so. When you choose partition sd card you automatically get directed to a swap size meny. Can't choose "none"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
It has to do with the htc drivers. You're able to write on the sd but that's about it.

sorry for OT but Chris Ward is organizing a petition for HTC to update our device to ICS. it'll be great if we can garner more support for this http://www.change.org/petitions/htc-release-an-android-4-0-update-for-the-htc-desire-z

CM9 development would be faster if they release an official ICS!

what are the differences between a ILWT pershoot kernel?

On pershoot working SWAP .. and other differences?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] trees247:
anyone had this prob?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mekkelrichards:
Anybody else having trouble with the app Newsrob when using this rom?

For me, none of the pictures stay loaded for the articles. After the sync is complete, the images will fail to load and instead just show up as question marks.

I have tried wiping everything, flashing again. No luck. I have no ad blockers or anything like that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
ILWT by default patches the hosts file for ad blocking. To disable (not patched) you need to use the hosts=unpatch instruction in your ILWT.txt file and re-flash the rom.

I'm having a problem signing into my google account. I get errors trying to download from the market, and google talk won't authenticate. I've tried everything suggested in this thread already, like rebooting after signing in and restoring apps during setup, but nothing works.

Anyone have a fix?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] L-ViZ:
Fullwipe? Manually fullwipe? Never had problems
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the4biddendonut:
Thanks for the reply.

Yes, did a full wipe. I used superwipeg2+ext4.

Hi all: About the problem with wifi when bluetooth is sending data, in new version (376) still the problem.

It's a problem when tries to hear music from internet radio with yours BT headphones....

About he music frozen, when there are a lot programs running, the music is frozen. Then, I reboot the phone and the music turns to play normaly.

I've the music PlayerPro installed
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the4biddendonut:
After messing with the rom and wasting almost 2 hours, I was able to sign into google talk and download from the market. I don't know exactly what I did to make it work.

I first added a second google account in the settings. Then, I was able to download from the market using my original account (makes sense right?). It didn't recognize my purchased apps though. So, I used titanium backup to restore some of my paid apps, after that I was able to redownload the rest of my paid apps from the market.

Somewhere in the tinkering the market updated itself to google play store. I wonder if that has something to do with the problem I had???

Hopefully, this might help others in the future.

Has the hardware keyboard bug been fixed yet? The one where the keyboard acts as if the menu button is depressed. I know it's not an ILWT issue, but I'm curious to know if it has been fixed.

Patience, He'll probably update soon. As for the flash issue I've never heard of such behaviour.Which camera app are you using? CM7 or MIUI? Have you tried defaulting the settings?

Sent from my ILWT-powered DZ
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JDogg1329:
The camera is the MIUI camera app and sometimes the flash doesn't work when its set to auto or on. I reset the settings and cleared data and that seems to have fixed it for now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] L-ViZ:
i don´t use "talk" so can i just delete it via titanium backup or would that have any negativ effects for the system?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pepar0:
Very nice, slim & fast ROM.

I have had time drift on my G2, several minutes a day, but the RTC seems to keep time accurately (time is always good after a reboot).

I was originally was hoping that the problem was related to Sense (slow/bloated).

But on a fast ROM like ILWT, it still drifts ...

Anyone else have this problem? Any recommendation?

(Hope everyone signed the ICS petition: http://www.change.org/petitions/htc-release-an-android-4-0-update-for-the-htc-desire-z#

to hopefully convince HTC to release ICS code for our device)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] azrash:
have you selected the automatic from network provided value option under date and time settings? If the problem persists you can use ClockSync from the Play Store, you can set it to auto sync every few hours or days. It is best to set it to sync over Wifi only and use the high precision sync. It works fine so far.

Hope this'll help
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] patoberli:
If you have network time enabled and this happens, then it's either a broken clock in the phone (might be warranty reason) or your network provider has a problem on his antennas.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dsip:
I don't think so. At least I still get it every now and then. :\

Yeah, this happened to me multiple times now. I suspect that not installing google's email app may have something to do with it; and ever since I did flash the rom with the app (i.e. change the setting in iltw.txt), the problem hasn't re-occured. Of course that may be purely incidental..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
I'm planning to upload the new release by Friday, still working for you ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
New release is being uploaded to ROM Manager and Mediafire right now (I'll upload to minus later on). Please report any issues, thanks.

edit: I have noticed an issue with the installer. I have not been able to check, but I believe that Auto Install will not work. I will fix it for the next release, but for now please use Manual Install, otherwise default values will be used. Sorry about this, should've looked better at the code. I might make a quick release tonight to fix this issue. For those that would use Manual Install in any case, you're safe to use this release.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheRealOne:
will you add lates adreno libs?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
thanks for adding swap support!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nozdormu:
its for ics not gb. with aroma this rom is even better :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
Uploaded 388b, which is the same exact the release but with the fix for the installer for those wanting to use Auto Install (values read straight from ILWT.txt). Available from SourceForge ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/ilwtcm7/files/ ) and ROM Manager.

I am going to make all the releases on sourceforge from now on (unless they block me for some reason), as it gives many different mirrors which should be able to please every user, no matter the country.

Also, I am looking for somebody that could create a simple splash screen for ILWT for the AROMA UI installer. Nothing fancy, just a nice splash screen that includes "ILWT" in it :) I am attaching the default splash screen, so that you have an idea on how it's supposed to be sized.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] whpsnp:
I must say I was thoroughly impressed with this ROM before but even more so now with Aroma installer. Setting up was a breeze with Aroma and as always using ILWT is a breeze :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] L-ViZ:
Added AROMA UI as installer, isn´t it an *.exe for pc? if there´s no link in add-on´s
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
No, it's an installer integrated inside the flashable zip package.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Halotron:
Really like the Aroma installer. Very slick.

I did notice that under Connection Icons, the descriptions for the radio button choices were strings from some other set (might have been Google Apps, but I can't remember... installed the ROM right after waking up :p)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
You are right, my bad :P It was a long work, I wouldn't be surprised if you find other ones that I forgot to change haha
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jethro650:
Like the new installer. One quick question, now that I've gone through manually and made the choices, is that now saved so that next time I can choose auto and get the same results?

On a side note, the time spent on this must be great and its really appreciated, thank you, best ROM and set up by far IMHO.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
That's correct (from 388b on, 388 had a bug and auto install didn't work)

You know I love your work, tsubus. But I have to say, I'm not a fan of the new installer. Not at all. I themed my own Recovery and I like to look at it any chance I get. ;) Not sure what was wrong with the standard ILWT.txt install process. It's always worked flawlessly for me. Alas, change is the only constant... :) Thanks for your continued support!
