ok... lets clear things out: i'm a big fan of ur work, i used this as a dd since i rooted (since like build 230 something) but this is getting kinda boring, and this ROM is being a battery hog from build 333 (probably from all that flashing and restoring...)

i gotta move on...

I think we all get what your saying. GB itself is boring (but stable) and ICS is new & flashy (but buggy). We'll get to a middle ground soon enough and things will get interesting ;) Not sure about battery life though, mine has been great as usual.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rezapatel:
Wanted to check if someone could help me with this or even make a suggestion.

Want to make my sd card read speed 3 mb or 4 mb, instead of the default 1 mb on this rom.

Don't want too use any startup apps to increase the speed. Would prefer to add to the startup scripts in the init.d folder.

Suggestions pls, thanks!

In the ILWT tweak performance file, I did find this code but don't know it doesn't work or it isn't what I am thinking it is. I checked used an app and the sd card speeds say I have 1 mb.

This is the code I am referring to.

hey guys, got a little question,

is it possible to add a transparent notificationbar via any apps? or is it possible to get it as an option in ilwt.txt for the next update? had it in leedroid with my desire hd and a friend of mine got it in the blackicerom for the desire hd and it really looks better than the stock one :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rezapatel:
Little confused, you suggesting i add that line in the tweaks file with the speed in the end? Wanted to make sure that I don't ruin my working instance of the rom :-)

Also, what do you suggest is tgw optimum read speed?

Ran the command on a terminal and it returned 1024.

It is probably 1024 by default in CM7, can't remember honestly. Do you have other tweakers installed or is this simply plain ILWT CM7?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rezapatel:
Have v6 running, but I don't think it changes your sd read speeds.

For me to set the speeds using some app on startup is no issue, but I was just wanting it to be a cleaner mod, bit its okay :-)

Is anybody else experiencing this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kusuriurikun:
So far, the ROM is behaving nicely (and I'm one of those folks who prefers 'boring but stable' as far as messing with Gingerbread, look at this as 'the show-stoppers are pretty much fixed so now we work on tweaking and optimisation' :D).

Speaking of which--ever in the hunt to optimise GPS performance even MOAR on here, I've been doing some experimentation. :D

The one issue I still have had with GPS performance until recently (and keep in mind it's been performing extremely well, but I'm not satisfied until I get perfection :D) is that the ROM as stands now hasn't been pulling aGPS info without it being explicitly "pushed"--if a lock seems slowish, I've been refreshing aGPS info via GPS Test, and have been able to see via u-center that the issue seems to be that the GPS was slow to pull ephemerides tables (indicated by "E") whilst almanac tables seem to be pulled OK (which will still result in a fix--just not as fast a fix).

I have found a possible solution in a recent thread about an aGPS patch for the Desire Z--basically it uses a custom gps.conf pointing to a smartphone-optimised NTP and XTRA server set run by an XDA developer, also uses a SuplRootCert file that doesn't come with the CM7 ROM used as the basis for ILWT CM7.

With the HTC drivers/RILs + the custom gps.conf/SuplRootCert, performance of GPS is now pretty much exactly stock, and ephemerides data is pushed properly from a cold boot after EFS wipe.

This may be worth considering as an install-time option in ILWT.txt for those who've had occasional issues getting a GPS lock even with the HTC GPS driver and radio RILs.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] raydar670:
I also have the screen not turning on issue. Sometimes when I unlock the phone the LCD doesn't turn on, but the touch sensor is still responsive. I think I also had the problem in CM 7.1 RC but I'm not sure.

Also while we're on the topic of bugs, Is there a fix for the physical keyboard acting as if the menu key is pressed while typing (even though it's not)?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] scholar79:
I, too, have this issue, but it doesn't appear to be confined to ILWT, as I am using an unofficial Kang (build 353). This problem started somewhere after Build 333, as that one worked, ILWT or not.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] qpop:
Yes, some variations.

Around 1x/week the screen just won't come on, requiring a battery pull.

More recently (possibly since 350) the power button will occasionally (1x/day?) not switch on anything but the hardware button lights. Hitting the power button twice more tends to get things going, with a bit of a lag (5s/10s)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
I am also getting this. Though, as stated above pressing the power button twice solves this.

@qpop When saying the screen just won't come on you're saying that whatever you do the phone will not respond? If that's the case then it might have to do with the battery contacts which are a bit loose in with this particular phone, and most of the time are the reason why people get such behaviour. You can try to snug some paper in the battery compartment (top part) so it stays put. Personally after doing so I never had such an issue. Your case might not be the same but it's worth trying.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] grdnwsl:
I'm getting the screen not on issue too. It especially doesn't turn on for me when opening the keyboard if the screen is off. It will turn on when I close the keyboard, but not when I open it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
I'm seeing CM7 people having the same issue, so it's really out of my domain. Hopefully the CM devs will fix it soon.

yes i did :(

the first time i flashed the rom it was automatically placed there and from then i just updated it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
Perhaps try re downloading the latest ILWT.txt from the OP and editing that. You only need to remove the # sign from before the option you want, and if you want the default option for a particular item, you don't need to change anything. I only mention this because looking at your ILWT.txt it appears as though you deleted a lot of stuff... just a thought. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
i know Tsubus doesn't have much time, but can you include AROMA installer, and ditch the ILWT.txt method? its much easier for the users to actually see a GUI, not some text... just asking

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] qpop:
I disagree with this; a txt file is great because it is persistent across multiple wipes. I can superwipe the phone and know that on the next flash all my settings (and custom sounds, etc) will be right.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
I haven't looked at what Aroma can do, but I will (in a month or so, once I get my desktop PC back). I agree that a .txt file is much more convenient when it comes to multiple flashes, but if possible I can make it so that the user can pick which method to use (ILWT.txt or step-by-step with Aroma). This will all be later on, though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pepar0:
I think your problem is editor related.

You are saving the file in UTF-? format, as opposed to plain old ASCII.

Check the program you are using to edit the file with.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
I recommend using Notepad++ in Windows.

Great ROM! :)

Comming from an old Virtuous Unitiy 2.37 installation and am extremely suprised about how slow Sense 3.0 actually was :S

Only small biggy (did a default installation, no customisation) is that I have now twice Terminal Editor installed. Once from the ROM and once from my old installation (automatically installed from market) and I can't delete the old version.

Could this lead to update issues with the ROM supplied one? Besides that I have two icons in my apps list?

Oh and a second thing, can I somehow reduce the number of available screens? 3 would be enough for me (I admit, I did not search for this question) :)

Thanks

SS

Mostly for the tweaks he has added I would say. Unless your a flashaholic, not everything in every nightly will neccessarily make your phone better/faster. As I understand it tsubus updates this ROM on a regular basis anyway.

@tsubus is the new update on minus ready to go? And thank you again for the time and probably frustration you've put into this

Good practise to always wipe cache/dalvik cache when upgrading versions
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] whpsnp:
I had a weird issue with MIUI camera app on 364 coming from 350. I wiped cache+dalvik before flashing.

The right third of the controls were mirrored in the mid left side of the screen. I tried uninstalling MIUI camera and reinstall, reboot, wipe cache and dalvik again to no avail. Will try with a fresh download later even though md5 sum matched.

got the problem again, that custom apps weren´t installed properly again.

So far so good with the latest 364 no wipe. Thanks again tsub and I hope you're enjoying your samsung excursion.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
It's slightly off topic but I have to say that CM7 on the S2 has a few more issues than on the Vision. I am finally getting my desktop PC back in 10 days, at which point I will be able to mess around a little more with kernels and all that. I definitely feel like HTC's give you more freedom in terms of unlocking everything and customizing. For example, in the S2, all kernels come with their own recovery, I don't think you can pick a kernel and a recovery freely. I'd love to see 4ext touch on there, though, just to see what he comes up with...madmaxx is the man in terms of recovery.

Anyway, it feels like CM7 is not as big on the S2 as it is here (still pretty damn big, but a lot more people use modded stock roms than they do here), which of course means less bugs being found. I have tried several roms but I always went back to CM7 despite the few minor issues that they have (some are due to Samsung not releasing the source code for everything). The customization and constant updates you get with CM7 (CM9 too, but it's still a little too buggy for my taste) are something that I cannot give up anymore after being on it ever since I've got an Android phone. Not to mention how much smoother it is, even on a beast like the S2. I know benchmarks have to be taken lightly, but the performance I get with CM7 over stock is not even close. CM9 right now has about the same score as stock, though, but kernel sources have not been released yet and it's based on a beta-release of the firmware, which explains some of the bugs.

Hi tsubus and all other.

Curently I am using cm7 but I woudl like to test that rom. I am inpresive how much work did put on it.

Last night I flashed lastest version but phone didn't boot. Stuck at htc logo. I did full wipe, efs clearing with a script, dalvik, cache again, sd format also. I did not change any setting at downloaded rom. Should I do something more or sth? I have first time such as situation

Thanks 4ur attention

Thanks, Ditamae.

I redownloaded 364 and flashed again and it seems there are no problems now. Haven't done anything different except downloading via Mediafire instead of Minus. Same md5 so that shouldn't really make a difference.

Anyway, all is working fine now :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dsip:
Just to make sure this is not the problem..: Did you wait long enough? I remember once thinking that my phone was stuck at the htc logo, too - but really that time after flashing something took just really long (10-15 minutes). I have no idea, what it was, but it only happened at the first boot.

This^ is why I've been hesitant to pickup a S2 (assuming SGS2). I'm kinda shell-shocked from buying a g2x and the small modding community of it. In addition to the semi-small dev community for it, I'd also have to get the T-Mobile US version (different cpu than the international/normal version - for those that didn't know that).

On-topic: tsubus - when was the last time the ILWT CM7 kernel was updated?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] foshucka:
Try using GPS status from the market. Let it download the GPS assistance data. Seemed to do the trick for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flomotion:
Ya, I've noticed that too when encouraging my friends to mod their phones.. I've always gone w/ HTC and can definitely tell they use more generic chips, drivers, and more of boilerplate android functionality than all the customizations of samsung or lg or the big players. Generic caters well to hacking, and my G2 purchase was an intentional result of looking for a 'dev-happy' phone. Some of the things samsung has done are pretty neat and I applaud their custom tools & architecture, but it makes it a PITA to maintain and develop since you have to deal with their proprietary tricks.
