Still having trouble connecting my bt headset to media audio.

Right after pairing the headset it connects just fine. After I swich off the headset, when I swich it back on, it connects only to phone audio, and in bt settings it says "connecting", but it never connects. This may also be a source of some battery drain. It doesn't bother me much as I only use my headset for phone calls though, so in the bt settings I removed the checkbox for media audio.

Is there any way you could add CRT screen on-off animations in the next release? Or is there any way I can flash this over the ROM?

Thanks,

I have been using the rom for a few months now its really good. screen capture would be a nice addition and a restart option under the power menu.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] regius:
Anyone tried an OC kernel with this ROM?

Which ones are working?

Any problems?

I just noticed this was discussed before... any updates?

Since the processor in the DZ can run safely at 1 GH, I was thinking: why not using it at full power?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmcsc:
Because this ROM is all about battery life.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tiwaz:
I managed to get 3d and 12h with this ROM. AND it was extremely fast. There is no need to OC as it's fast on 1Ghz and the battery life will suffer with an overclock. This is a ROM you use as a daily driver not a ROM for it's eyecandy and tweaking. However to my opinion it's looking good and fast.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] regius:
I love the battery life on this ROM, however, I plug my phone in every night anyways. What I like most on this ROM is the Speed and the ability to multitask (lots of free RAM), so I'm sure the posibility to flash a OC kernel would be appreciated by others also.

Hello, i wanna try this ROM out again quite soon. One thing that i always have an issue with on most ROMs are APNs, where i cannot configure them properly at all for me to receive MMS. Earlier in the thread, there was a .zip with more APNs for global users but that link is dead now, does anyone still have that .zip file and if so, could they post it again on mediafire or something?

Edit: I was overcome by the temptation to flash this ROM and i must say, it is very fast and zippy so far! I don't remember the last time i had a ROM that was THIS fast because i've been using Sense and ICS ROMs for a while now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
I have been trying for a while to get mobile data to work but my attempts have been very unsuccessful. I looked up the APN settings for my carrier (Optus) here in Australia, i made sure that i had everything configured correctly, i then saved those settings, restarted my phone and mobile data is still not working. Can anyone help me out?

Edit: After some extensive searching, i saw a post where someone mentioned to try using the APN settings from cyanogenmod. I then found and applies the settings from there and mobile data is working fine now :).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
Thanks man, this will help a lot of ppl out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
If u know how to add the crt I will gladly add it to the next release. Or if u know somewhere to explain how?? I wanted it after using 4.0, but never got around to searching.

I've been really busy lately, an all me free time has been goin to swtor.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] regius:
Sorry man, I have no idea how to add that, I think it has to be cooked in the ROM. However, this is just eyecandy, it's not really something to break your head over.

Thanks for all your work!

I love this ROM. I have been using it for a few weeks and get amazing battery. Even with use, wifi , and 4G on. I am really looking forward to the 1.7 update.

I am hoping for the following in 1.7 :

Screenshot and Reboot in the power menu.

CRT screen off.

That's all I can really think of, this is pretty much a perfect ROM. Can't wait for the ICS Slim to get a little more useable.

Rooted w/ S-OFF

Current ROM : G2Slim 1.6

Radio : 26.13.04.19_M.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
This ROM is THE BEST, i've used nearly every ROM for the Vision and this is the one that i just keep on coming back to!

Is there actually going to be an update? It's ok if you're not updating this ROM, i'll still keep using it either way :).

Edit: Just did some searching, i saw that there'll be a 1.7 update and now i'm definitely looking forward to it :)!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
I agree, reboot, recovery, screenshot would be great in the power button menu
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
Yeah, this pretty much. The only thing that would make this ROM even better for me is if it had some kind of lockscreen music controls for the stock music app but this isn't that much of an issue as this ROM is so quick that unlocking isn't that much of a pain.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Zombie Steve Jobs:
Can't wait for an update. Love the battery life and the stability of this ROM.

(I'm getting the dreaded CarDock mode constantly !! Arghh help)

Rooted w/ S-OFF

Current ROM : G2Slim 1.6

Radio : 26.13.04.19_M.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] palmwangja:
Sure, can't wait any longer... :D

Really love this ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
To remove wifi calling:

1. Open up Titanium Backup (or download it if you don't have it already).

2. Go to the Batch/Restore tab and scroll down until you see an app with the wifi calling icon, it should either be called wifi calling or it might be called com.kineto or something like that.

3. Tap the wifi-calling icon, you'll be shown a context menu, choose either to delete or uninstall the app, and that'll be it.

As for your other issue with the keyboard, i wouldn't really know how to help you with that. Maybe you need to download and flash a correct keymap file or something?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
What's the news on the update? Can we get a preview of the changes being made? I miss the notification power bar, recovery reboot and screenshot in the power button. I can't think of anything else! The rest is spot on!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
Actually, the only thing that really bothers me that's missing from this ROM is the lack of enough symbols when you press the SYM key on the keyboard. It'd be a lot easier if there were symbols like <,>,^ and such under the SYM key menu.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmcsc:
Notification power bar? You mean this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
Nope. I mean, the power bar / extended settings widget that's in the pull down notification.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
The only thing this ROM is missing is LED notifications. I've started using this as my DD after primarily using CM7, and this is truly the only thing I'm missing that's a "gotta have" feature. PLEASE bring this into the next update. I beg you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
You can add it yourself. Download the lights.vision.so from here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9421444/lights.vision.so

remove the same file from your device located at system/lib/hw and replace it with the new downloaded file. It is the same LED notification as on CM7.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
Perfect! Thank you so much for the tip! You got yourself a thank you mister.:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
I have some other questions about this ROM:

- What does everyone use for their music app (music that's stored locally)? I ask because the Music app that normally comes with Android isn't present.

- What's the best means of optimizing the battery on this? I've had it now for 2 days and I'm not getting very good battery life. I've wiped battery stats using BatteryCalibration and performed the best practices of optimizing the battery, but I'm barely getting 8 hours of life. Maybe I need to let this bake longer before making these comments?

I'm sure I'll have more questions to ask, but I still think this is a damn good ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
Getting great battery life myself, maybe its time for a new battery for you? Also a diffrent radio may be benifitial where you live but the .19 works great where I live
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] regius:
I guess it depends on how you're usig the phone as well. If you surf a lot over 3g and wifi don't expectthe battery to last very long. I am using my phone pretty intensively and after more than 12 hours I still have around 25% battery left. I have to charge it every night though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheWeird1:
I use MixZing Basic as music app, it has some nice options like play a directory.

As for battery life I get almost 2 day's out of it. I have droidwall installed so that not every app can access internet I like to think that it helps for battery life.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
When i was using this i was getting really really good battery life of at at least 44 hours on each charge. I was using the .19 radio and each day i'd do some wireless-tethering with lots of texting, a little bit of gaming and some other light use and the battery would just go on and on and on haha.

@dustrho, you need to make sure you're actually using your phone in a way that will let you achieve good battery life. If you're a heavy user, your phone will run out within 24 hours regardless of what you're doing, but there are many little steps that you can take to increase your battery life greatly. If you want, i and some others here could probably give you some tips :). I'd post some right now but i'm on my phone and my thumbs are getting sore xD.

I don't know. I think it might end up being the phone's battery itself. :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
Thanks for the response. I am a heavy user and have been using Android now for a couple years or more (started with the MyTouch 3G), and I'm what I would call an advanced Android user. The thing I've never had luck with is having good battery life. Now, I'm happy if I can get 8 hours of battery life, but have no idea how others get 24 hours or more on their phones. I barely use my G2 for talking on the phone, but I use it mainly for the following:

- web browsing

- gmail

- texting (lots)

- facebook

- twitter

- google+

- draw me something

- music

- newsrob

I use Battery Calibration and sometimes the included one in CWM to clear my battery stats, I've done the calibration/optimization of my battery before, but would be happy to hear any and all tips out there for better battery life.

Thanks!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
You can get batteries that last longer than stock ones that fit the same and tend to add a few hours
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magic_android:
Well, if i used my phone constantly, i'd get similar battery life to that as well (dustrho). Usually though, i only have about 4 hours screen on time for charges that last around 60+ hours. So i'd say that i don't use my phone as much as others.

I don't think you can directly compare anyone's battery life to someone else's because of the disparity that exists in the ways that people use their phones.

@dustrho, you seem to be a very heavy user, and just about any smartphone will not last very long if you use it non-stop and for the things that you described. One thing that does affect battery life though is how you charge your phone's battery. I have been maintaining full charge cycles ever since i bought my phone last august and the battery life hasn't changed at all. If you plug your phone into the charger each night and leave it till the morning though (as many people do), the battery life will degrade over time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmcsc:
Just today I bought a Seidio InnoCell 3500mAh extended battery. I'm getting it, I think, Monday. I'll let you know how it goes.

I only compare it to my own previous battery life.

Zomg best rom ev4r !!!11!!

This rom is serious business

I been looking for some ICS roms since january phone is more than a year old, and I was a bit, tired of cyanogen 7.0

and i started to try some ICS betas around, i love the look and feel and stuff and i think ICS is a great update however not having camera is a deal breaker to me

Not that i take many pic on my phone thought but is one of thoose thinghs you want to have when you need it.

going back to gingerbread I tried other roms just to look something different, and this is the best one, stupid fast, stable no FC, no BS, incredible battery life.

now I make up my mind unless you & you team cook a ICS slim version i will stick to this ROM.

You job is great, many thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmcsc:
Well, he does have a slim ICS build floating around based on the old Virtuous builds but the battery life with ICS sucked no matter what. :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] regius:
Please do, and if possible take some pics, I am curious how the phone feels with "just"0.7 cm added thickness.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chongox:
I may wait for then until they got it right,

bad battery life is what transform our beloved phone in a stone on our pocket

I live in a house with like really bad signal (= radios are going crazy to pick signal)

however is been like 18Hs since I charged the phone, and I do have 70% battery

ok i did not use my phone much, and I set data as 2g unless i'm out but still something hard to believe to me.

just being a nitpicker here.

I really miss the power / data widgets in the notification bar, that is something very handy i will say.

and please just for god sake add one ringtone. any, does not matter

to avoid the hassle of getting one to people like us that we don't care about that childish personalisation stuff.

Excelent stuff guys.. any plans to do some slim rom for tablets ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
My house is a dead zone, i rely on wifi calling. It really saves my battery and i get full bars. i dont know where u live but here in california (sacramento) the 4.19 radio gives me full 4g like 85% of the time. the other 15 is at my house where i have no signal.

for the ringtone, put anything u like on the sd card. it will save between ROM flashes as long as u dont wipe your sd card.

i have no idea how to add the power/data widgets. i would make a silm for tablets but i dont have one! i was thinkin bout a new cell too, but there is nothin on tmo that looks decent.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
i kinda quit on the ICS Slim, the wifi calling was working on and off and i need it for reception at my house. i was also missing texts. i should have called it a beta.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
With regards to the power/data widgets in the notification bar...

Here are some options that I have used and work well.

1) Notification Toggle - Probably the closest thing to having the Power Control in the notification bar. It works VERY similar to the power control in CM7. It runs as a service (low memory usage) and is unavailable if you run full-screen apps.

2) Extended Controls - This is a good program that allows you to place the widget in your notification bar. The widget does not work the same as the one we are familiar with in CM7, but at least allows you to access the widget from the notification bar. I like running some applications in the full-screen mode which disables access to the notification bar, so I use the long-press of the search button to access the extended control widget and chose not to have it in my notification bar.

I gave up Extended Controls several months ago since I try to keep my running programs very minimal and always was running as a service.

3) Widgetsoid - Another program very similar to Extended Controls but free and has much better support. The application operates in the same way in regards to the notification bar. You can disable the service, but you can not assign it to the long-press of the search button.

4) Launchkey - Program I currently use. I have it assigned to long-press of the search button. I have it set to bring up menu for: wifi enable/disable, TeslaLED, QBright, Bluetooth Toggle, Quickboot, and settings. Yeah, it seems convoluted to have to have Tesla, Quickboot, and Qbright installed to achieve what the other programs include, but it works best for my situation.

Just some options since bringing over the CM7 power control will most likely never happen unless someone wants to really get in there and work on the framework.

How can you change the boot animation on this ROM? I can't seem to find a "bootanimation.zip" file anywhere which means i can't replace it with the boot animation that i want. I want to have the boot animation from Virtuous G-lite so that there's a more authentic Google feel to my phone but i don't quite understand what's different with this ROM as there doesn't seem to be a regular boot image?

Edit: I just installed a boot animation from ROM toolbox, then found where it was located and replaced it with the boot animation from virtuous g-lite, so it's all good now, i've got the boot animation that i wanted :)

btw when you say the radio is packed with this update, do you mean that all i have to do is follow the instructions in the original post and it should apply?

No, u have to install the radio by itself.

i'm not sure if gps reporting frequency was among the factors you tweaked but i noticed that my location history map has less recorded points. did you happen to decrease the frequency it checks in?

Something strange has happened to me lately: the wireless radio would not wake up. It's showing connected, just the bars are white and id doesn't transfer any data.

@ s14mc

I may talk about my experience.

my contract would expire soon, and i can't see a phone that would be better than my G2/desirez atm, the phsycal keyboard is more important than anything else in my phone.

I mainly use for texting / IM I found that using virtual keyboards when you text in two languages is a problem, you need to switch language every time you text and also they would take 1/2 of the screen and in a 3.7" phone that is a lot. so no Hk no update. and i went for a tablet instead

(i choose a galaxy tab 8.9, the 10" is too big and I already have a netbook, and 7 " too small)

im in europe so is hard to get motorolas here but maybe i would move to a droid 3 or 4 if comes out

@cswroe

amazing stuff, I did try them and I found they make my phone, less responsive than before, however your post is fantastic, thanks a lot for that

at this moment after using this rom for 2 weeks I can care less about ICS in it, but would be nice to have it in my tab
