hmmm.... I see. That could explain everything. A slow/bloated phone might explain it. Can you tell us your set up? Cpu speed/widgets running, processes, that sort of thing? We do have to put up with low ram so maybe optimized ram script could be your answer? I recently got a bigger battery (1540 mAh OEM HTC) and have cranked up my cpu to 1.2 now on demand and use balanced 512MB option on v6 supercharger. I get great speed now plus recently wiped and didn't reinstall a ton of useless old apps (I tend to be an app hoarder lol). The less apps... the faster (plus run them on phone and not sd helps with speed) usually. I hope that makes sense! I wrote this fast and am in a hurry so sorry for any errors that might get lost on translation.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
i have like... 180 to 190 apps in all.... some processes are running like tasker, true caller, and other things... no apps are on sd, i didn't even partition it for that, and about 130-140MB of free RAM (the real free RAM thats in the running processes window), widgets are there, like tasker, screen filter (yes... i use it), and adv task killer (no, i turned auto kill off)... oh, and i use the balanced 2, and the multitasking options in v6, and clocked at 800MHz... yes, JUST 800MHz, because i'm sick of the battery, and i don't tend to change it... so thats it i guess...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
You are an app hoarder too!:p I used to be around 200 or so also but since last wipe... I'm at less than 100. It does help with speed, I think... Seriously though, I think the problem is the CPU. I would bet the button delay is because of the low cpu clock speed. If you have an extra $30, I'd SERIOUSLY CONSIDER BUYING the

1520 mAh OEM HTC battery

and overclock it at 1GHz, at least. I used to only get 8-10 hours with my stock 1300 mAh battery clocked at 1.1GHz. Now I can bump up to 1.2GHz and get a couple of extra hours (10-12 hours). At 1GHz flat, I can get 12-14 hours now which is amazing considering I am a moderate-heavy user (games, media streaming aka music/tv, email/messages, and calls). I typically OC at 1.1 though but haven't really decided since I've just had the new battery for 5 days now. I use profiles for cpu clocking (SetCPU to be exact) which helps, imo. Here is mine...

ondemand governor clocked at 245/1113

profiles (all ondemand):

245/368 sleep

245/806 temperature greater than 42.6C (aka 107.6F)

245/1017 charging any type

245/902 battery less than 10%

Those are probably similiar to what tsubus uses on this rom anyways. Here's a picture of the larger OEM battery thanks to tarroyo http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24385749&postcount=34 It's basically the stock batttery from HTC Evo 4G which happens to be compatible with ours and fits perfectly without modding.

I found one for $29.99 flat and free shipping but that all depends on where it ships from, your country, etc. Good luck! ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
I'd strongly suggest not going over 140 apps installed. Many apps have the tendency to stay in memory, thus draining battery. Just killing them won't do any good because at some point they'll start up again, which will drain EVEN more cpu cycles, thus battery. Just get rid of the stuff you can live without. I've had a "pointless button" app and it somehow contributed to 15% of my battery use, lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
Those off you using task killers should stop anyway, they tend to cause more harm then good. If you must use watchdog, free version on the market, and keeps you from just blindly killing apps
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
I couldn't agree more! I suggest using "Autostarts" or something similar to control the services of those rogue annoying apps. It's not a pefect solution but it does help if you use alot of apps or not.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
OK, i'm back at 102 user apps installed... and autostarts doing its job... everything is fast again.... for now at least...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
That's good to hear! I finally settled on 1.1GHz for OCing myself. Even with the extra 240 mAh battery, I'm like you... I'd rather enjoy the longer life than speed boost. 1GHz range (902-1113MHz) seems to be the perfect tolerable clock speed for normal use. You might try 902MHz. Might not make a huge difference in drain but it's definitely speedier. I found a nice site about lithium ion batteries. http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries I learned a few things myself and thought some might enjoy it also.

still getting "cannot install apps cos of error" message when trying to download anything from market ... any help? :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
Go to Menu > Manage Apps > All > Google Play Store and clear data. Reset device and try again
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cyber-mythius:
There is no google play app :/ just market. Could you give me link for google play? thx
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
Just launch the market, then close it. Next time you launch it you will receive the Play OTA.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
crestofawave's correct, however, if that doesn't work, just clear data for market app and reset
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cyber-mythius:
restarted and then got play OTA, thx.

My wifi is suddenly acting very odd, the wifi that i use at home, is saying

(Wifi name)

disabled, secured with TPA/WPA2 PSK

And when I try to connect to it, it connect, then disconnect.

I tried reinstalling it, but it still has the same problem.

It just happened suddenly.

The wifi is working fine, as I can connect to it with my tablet, just not my G2.

When flashing it through clockworkmod an advanced installation pops up instead of clockworkmod just normally flashing...how did you get that installer to appear
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dargocitfer:
I think you're referring to the Aroma UI Installer. Tsubus added the Aroma UI option back in March.

If you choose "Auto Install", then it will still read the config from an ilwt.txt file. Or, you can choose "Manual Install", and the Aroma GUI will walk you through all of the steps.

It's pretty snazzy.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kaph:
My phone keeps doing odd-freezes and restarts.

When it freezes, occasionally it will respond to being turned over and reorient the screen, but it never responds to touch-input or any of the hard-buttons.

Only way to get it back to normal is rebooting. Occasionally it will have a freeze moment as soon as you drag the unlock button.

Any suggestions? I've upped the lowest clock speed to ~500mhz.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
You could also be overclocked
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mbrentrowe:
I'm having an issue where wifi will be connected yet I cannot use the internet. The connection is fine. It works on the computer and on my wife's phone. The only thing that works is restarting but that only fixes it for a few minutes.

I haven't changed any settings or done anything else to the phone. I've been using the rom two weeks and this is the first time this has happened.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] vicmora5:
I am also having a problem with the wifi as of recently. There seems to be no wifi connection at all. It wont even find any of my networks. A reset did not solve this issue for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] IharpI:
Hey tsubus,

Pleeeease port some of your cool stuff to ics and give us an ics rom!

It only happens when you press one of the four soft keys, I suppose. That's the only relevant thing between key layout and touchscreen. I'm pretty sure it's not much of an issue though.

I reflashed the rom and my wifi seems to be acting normally again.

Wow, that was fast! Amazing work tsubus!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
I'm backing up right now and will flash 204 just to see if anything is broken and then flash your version. I know that sounds crazy but that way I can tell which version has a problem, if there is one... ya know? You think your modded kernel needs updating too? just curious. there were some minor changes but it may not be completely kernel related. I'm not an expert in Linux for sure...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
204 running great here with default cm7 ILWT modded kernel. I can confirm that the back button kill works after a reboot and also FM radio and DSP Manager have been removed using those options in the ILWT txt file. Thanks again!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
good to know, Ed! thanks:)

tsubus, shootme no longer works on plain old CM 204 (thats without your kernel or anything else). so it's not your build but your base, 204. just letting you know...

It did work on plain old 185/186 nightly so it was something on 204 for sure. again have that capability built in so its no big deal...

rest well tonight, friend ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
Thanks for the info... I was about to flash 204 to check on ShootMe, so I really appreciate you saving me the time. ;)

ILWT CM7 204 is smooth & fast per usual. Thanks tsubus!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
hey, no problem! the built in one is good enough but I do miss the shake thingy and extra settings. I might look into another one. there used to be quite a few out there...

who is that on your avatar? our pics are so small and its hard to tell who/what things are sometimes.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
Yeah, I just liked the screencast option, but really it's no big deal. I'm happy with the ease of the power button method. Oh, and the avatar is Noomi Rapace, the Swedish actress. Thought about using myself, but she definitely suffices. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
Glad to hear everything is working as expected :p

For ShootMe you might want to try to bug the CM7 people to see why it doesn't work, but I don't think it's a necessity. I'm sure you can find similar screenshot apps that work on this load too :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aM-:
anyone here try flash thru CWM 5.0.2.0? since CM7 thread got lots of them having problem with latest version of CWM. mind to report here?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
Recovery issues persist throughout different ROMs. CWM 5.0.2.0 will have problems on every ROM you try. It's CWM that needs to get fixed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
i am wondering, why is OC Daemon used in this ROM, when cpu speeds can be controlled in cyanogen settings? :confused:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mastergrifis:
This rom is absolutely amazing as speed but I'm experiencing some annoying issue:

1) Flash player, the latest on market: no video, just sound.

2) Poor wi-fi signal compared to other roms. I had the .30 radio, should I try something else?

3) Auto-brightness sometimes stops to work, don't understand yet when it does it.

4) Battery life is not the best but it's good enough. Anyway, if there's a way to improve it i'd be happy :)

I'm using the ILWT kernel, oc with setcpu 1,2 ghz ondemand, screen off 768 interactive.

Thank you
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
This is an issue with the flash player, not the ROM. You can easily fix it by doing a chmod 000 config.data (config.data is in your browser's plugin folder, so if you use dolphin hd it would be in /data/data/mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player). I recommend creating a GScript for it, so that you simply click a button to fix it (look for GScript Lite on the Market).

Not sure why, I use the unpatched build.prop and I get the same results as any other ROM (as expected, since I'm not touching any wifi settings).

Same as above, I'm not touching any of these settings. If you have issues in this ROM, you most likely will have them with plain old CM7. I don not experience issues with auto-brightness, though.

As stated in the OP, this is completely wrong. If you have SetCPU or any other CPU controller installed/enabled (this includes CM integrated controller), the OC Daemon does not work. If you want to take advantage of the performance and battery life saving of the OC Daemon, you have to uninstall SetCPU and disable any other controller you might have enabled. The only supported controller is linked in the OP. Instructions on how to change the frequencies of the OC Daemon are also found in the OP.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] L-ViZ:
using 187b. everything is running perfectly :) batterylife is about 4-4,5h usage (display/calls). pretty good to me, i came from dhd and had only 3hours.

using oc daemon controller, didn´t change much. everything is running very well. i use adw ex launcher.

i am using .30 radio, tried .03 but wifi was worse with it so i went back to 0.30 :)

gut 1500kb/s in my room (dsk 16000)

all in all the best rom i found for my desire z :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pbruck:
Hello tsubus,

i also REALLY apreciate your ROM, have tried a few ROMs but every time come back to yours.

But i am also not very satisfied with battery life.

More than any fancy effects and blazing fast actions (this ROM miss it and thats good)i am interested in a long battery life (i am a user, not a gamer) .

So i am looking at a ROM like Virtuous G Lite, pretty lightweight and slim, with excellent battery life.

Unfortunately this ROM has no multilanguage support and i came from germany.

I am not skilled in programming and hacking.

So my question.

Is it possible (that you do it) to make this ROM more slim and optimized for better battery life.

Or, have you any hint for another ROM that possibly fit my needs (slim, long battery life, multilanguage?

Or any other who read this post.

Any good advice is welcome :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mastergrifis:
Thank you for the fast answer! I don't have now the most annoying issue, the one related to the flash player (as you said it wasn't rom's fault but i didn't know :D). I have uninstalled setcpu and flashed oc daemon but of course i have to wait to see any change in the battery life. Just to be sure i won't mess up anything,do i have to open the related file in system/etc, edit and write the freq i like to change max freq with oc daemon?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
I have made this ROM as minimalistic as possible (with the right values in ILWT.txt), but I am always looking for ways to make it even snappier. I'm not sure what other ROMs are minimalistic, but I'm sure that you can find what you're looking for by scanning the developer forums ;)

---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

The OC Daemon is already included in the ROM, you can't flash it. As soon as you uninstall SetCPU and any other controller, the OC Daemon will automatically activate itself after a reboot. What you flashed (I assume) is the OC Daemon controller, which is a simple app designed to change those files in a "SetCPU-way", from a GUI. If you'd like to change the frequencies the OC Daemon operates at, simply open the app and set the values (for better battery life I do not recommend changing the values).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pbruck:
Oh yes, i am scanning constantly.

And, dont understand me wrong.

Your ROM is great. And maybe i am a little bit to demanding and pampered by the enormous long life of the battery from my Blackberry Bold 9700, i came from.

But the Galaxy S ,i had had, had also a good lasting with Darkys ROM.

Maybe i expect to much.

The Desire Z is an Desire Z and no other. And the Reasons to pick this was the really good keyboard and the good price. So i have to accept the (well known) bad Battery life.....

But if there is a way to make it better.....

I will try it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mastergrifis:
Yes, i flashed the controller in the op through recovery but there's no new app in the app drawer, unless i have to open it in a different way. Anyway, until rom is smooth as it now i can keep these settings :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
Why no new updates for this rom?

Sorry if it's been answered already.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jethro650:
Tsubus only updates when there are big changes to CM7 or every couple weeks. I know he's supporting at least two different models of phones now so that will also cut into his time, we will get updates in due time. Jusst enjoy one of the best working ROMs in the meantime.... :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] patoberli:
I just checked the GIT repository of Cyanogen. There simply weren't any noteworthy changes the last 10 days. I think they more or less stopped the main development there and only fix small bugs or add support for new hardware.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
i think Tsubus will just AMAZE us again with an ILWT CM9 ROM, that is stable and fast...

@Tsubus, when it comes, please don't release a beta, just release it as a fully working ROM... i just can't be bothered anymore by downloading a new beta every day or two

I will make an update soon, but not much has been changed and you most likely wouldn't notice any difference from now. I'm hoping CM9 will be officially picked up, but I'm not sure if or when that will happen. Btw, since I still don't have the DZ, I will need a volunteer to test AROMA quickly for me before I make the release. I tried to make it so that if you want to use ILWT.txt, you will only have to click one button, skipping every menu option. I'm not sure it works, though, and I do not want to make an official release until I am sure.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
Tsubus, is it possible to have an instruction in the ILWT.txt to bypass AROMA and use the old method? I'm williing to test whatever you come up with.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] azrash:
not possible, different device requires different kernels
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] L-ViZ:
hello guys :)

@tsubus, i´m very impressed by you, given us a great rom, even you don´t own the phone anymore.

to the other who recommend a cm9 rom. i tested some cm9 roms, the most of them were laggy and had not a good batterylife. all in all, it doesn´t care which phone you own, ics drains more battery. i think it´s because of the hw acc. i´m really interested in cm9 as well. but cm7 is very slim and amazing fast. for me there are not much improvements, even though i´d like to test the browser with hw-acc. (chrome). for me it´s important to have a good batterylife and i think for an lcd display it is given for us with the dz. i got to say, i bought a mugen akku, (1800mAh/meassured ~1500mAh(BatterieMonitorWidget). But i actually got my phone running 1d 2h / Display 1h / Calls 1h and got 65% left @1ghz. That´s pretty good to me. I think i´d never get this result with cm9/ics.

So what else are the improvements of cm9? The Ui changed a bit and HW-Acc, these are the big points for me. Read that you can send data from phone to phone, but dunno if it´s hardwarerelated and if our phone support this function.

All in all, thanks again at tsubus, looking forward to cm9, but already very happy with cm7 :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zuli007:
I tried compiled from newest source andromadus. Really great rom - propably everything is working (Camera, camcorder at 480p@30fps), but CM7 at this moment is a lot faster ( huge difference). At this moment i stay with CM7, and wait for full speed CM. PS I use CM7 from beggining with Desire Z (speed without compromise, and no slooww HTC sense which only slow down phones). GREAT JOB!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
I'd love to help test as well, if need be.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GreenGuava:
Unless I've misunderstood, isn't this already possible?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
AROMA still starts at boot. I was asking if it could be bypassed completely. Not that big of a deal. It's just that once my ILWT.txt is the way I like it, the old way is quicker. I can just select the updated ROM from 4ext recovery control along with my wipe options and it reboots to recovery, does its thing and no further input is needed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
i understand u... bt this will require another zip file to be flashed... so Tsubus will upload two zip files for the same version: one to flash from ILWT.txt, and one to launch AROMA... thats something that isn't necessary

———————————————

i didn't mean to flame you, nor to mock you in any kind of way
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
Maybe an option in ILWT to not use AROMA would do the trick. I think the updater-scripts should be flexible enough to allow this.

But honestly, this is trivial.
