4ext is a recovery like clockwork recovery. The difference is that 4ext recovery has more options and features to play with and wipes better and gives u more information.. but supper wipe is also good but that's just a zip file u flash with wat ever recovery u have. Super wipe was made for the sole reason that clockwork recovery didn't do clean wipes and their for the zip does it and formats the partitions to ext4... ( if I'm wrong on any of this please correct me thank you)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] scottmahoney:
the super wipe file can you flash it after you have flashed a new rom and have everything set up
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
I think you are confused, one of the great things about 4EXT (one of many great things) is that superwipe is built-in :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] scottmahoney:
Great I was just wondering once I buy it I will probelly re install the rom with it also what wifi fixes have come out for the rom that have not had any issues like the voltage patch you mentioned

Okay, so now I tried superwiping with 4ext and applying keyboard fix, but the german "ä, ö, ü, €" still dont work.

Edit:

Nevermind, it works :D

Seems like superwipe with 4ext is more super than superwipe zip? Does that make sense? I guess...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mmafighter121:
Just an FYI for those on the fence with the experimental kernel AnTuTu puts the benchmark at 2495 with the stock kernel and 2960 with the experimental kernel. (This was just a quick test - I still had a live wallpaper on during the tests and didn't kill everything prior. That gives me a more realistic score imho anyway.) I haven't had any more crashes or issues with it either.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arsonist63086:
Yeah experimental good with me to. I like having more clock speed options even though I'm just running the phone with the stock g-light speeds. And if I want faster for any reason (gaming) I have the option to oc with oc/uv beater :-D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Yepyoepp:
Hi guys,

I tried glite on my Z.

Like it but I'm in Paris France and Maps can't find my location !!!

An idea somebody ?

Thanks

First, try wiping EFS data. If it still doesn't work, try this:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] scottmahoney:
Something odd has been happening lately it would happen with older versions of this ROM as well Contacts will stop working and all the names of my contacts in the messenging app will only display there phone numbers. The only way to fix this is open the contacts app and it will force close
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arsonist63086:
Yeah it happens even on stock rom.. usually happens when texting to much then the contact app or service would force close and would be ok after a reopen.. happened alot more often when I had low CPU speed at screen off since I had set CPU on all Tom's from stock rooted to g-light 1.0.3
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Yepyoepp:
Thanks tun4f1sh.

BUT : I don't know how wiping EFS data :eek:

Is it dangerous ?

I use ClockWordMod 5.0.2.0

Thanks to explain in basic english ;);)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:
See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1028405.

USE METHOD 1. Method 1 uses an executable that will backup up partitions 13 and 14 before wiping them. I also recommend downloading the app GPS Status from the Market.

Method 2 has a huge risk of bricking your phone.

I found all of this in about 2 seconds by typing "wipe efs data g2" using the search feature at the very top and right of every page on XDA! I highly recommend it mate.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
Also Method 3: Install 4EXT recovery (replacement for Rom manager / cwm), go to wipe menu and select "Wipe EFS", then proceed. I would think this is the simplest option of the 3.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] matthewjett:
I would LOVE to see an "ICS Lite" .. How great would that be? I can dream, right? :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:
Brilliant. I have 4EXT (recently flashed) and didn't even realize this! I need to take a deeper look at all of the settings.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] scottmahoney:
Ok thanks I tryed fixing permissions with Rom Manager but it didn't help so I was a lil puzzled and yea I text a lot is there any way to fix this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:
Actually, I don't see this.. running what I understand to be the most stable - 2.2.7. Should I install something more recent?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
It is in recovery updater version 2.1.4 (see screen shots below). Go into Recovery/Wipe menu to get the menu below. I thought this was the latest version?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arsonist63086:
yeah i did the fix permission thing to and worked for a while but all i did was deal with it and when it happened i would force close the messaging app also dont know if it might help but since i installed a auto cache cleaner (cache cleaner NG) and have it clean all cache every 12h (12am-12pm) the issue has decreased a lot, dont know if they go together but its worth a shot
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:
No, sorry, I was referring to inside of the actual recovery, not the app. Found it! Thanks mate.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
This is the best way, and my favorite, but even the way referred to as "huge risk of bricking your phone" is not a huge risk at all if you are not drinking or high and you use cut and paste and just pay attention! - I have wiped my EFS partitions using dd hundreds of times with no problem, in fact, dd is actually my preferred way of installing new splash screens! :D

MAN UP and don't be a wuss - you own your phone, not the other way around!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] matthewjett:
I found an interesting bug when you open the clock application and press the power keys to lock the screen the phone does not lock
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mike102871:
Interesting. I just opened the clock and hit power to lock and it locks and works as it should.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mnementh666:
So has anyone successfully flashed a different kernel? I know it has stock and advanced, but I'm curious if pershoot's or virtuous kernel works.

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mike102871:
I've tried a few kernels. They broke the power button working or wifi
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arsonist63086:
Same results .. (I'm on experimental kernel)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mike102871:
On experimental kernel here and its perfect.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arsonist63086:
Odd cuz it wont lock with me all I hear is a triple click and no lock. Even when I let the phone sit it does not lock.... not a big deal for me as I Dont use that app at all but its still a little bug and looks like the only bug ..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
I am using stock kernel, and there does seem to be a bug here, phone screen goes black when you hit power button, but after trackpad wakeup the phone is in unlocked state - maybe the clock app itself is optionally a lock screen?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:
I believe this is by design from HTC, it has always done this (way back on non-rooted stock froyo even!).

I always thought it was this way so if you woke up in the middle of the night or something and had set an alarm, left this application on and clicked that little sun in the top right hand corner, you could just push the power button and see what time it was, the day, and the weather outside. Unless you're having other issues, I don't think this is a bug. Correct me if I am wrong, but if you have security in place - unlock pattern, etc, it should go through that first.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arsonist63086:
Makes sense
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
my Gallery seems to have misplaced some of the pics I took with my camera

however, I used root explorer to go into the /sdcard/DCIM/Camera folder, and I can see the missing pics, plain as day, so how do I get gallery to find them again, and why did it lose track of them in the first place?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
FYI, this has been discussed all over XDA.

Use Rescan Media from the market if you want to continue using the gallery, it will rescan your device and refresh the gallery;

or

just use QuickPic, it works just fine as a gallery replacement. I have since uninstalled the gallery it works so well.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
I remember coming across this on the stock Froyo Desire Z Sense Gallery app and had to use an app like Rescan Media to force the Android Media Scanner to scan for them. I've not heard that this was a problem on Gingerbread-based ROMs though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arsonist63086:
Tryed it out on other android phones at m disposal and same none locking screen while in clock app ... so m guess its normal :-D

If you use 4ext, EFS wipe is pretty easy.

first do EFS wipe using 4EXT - then download an app called GPS Status - this app makes my GPS into a racecar - it locks anywhere in 1 second or 2 max

Autobrightness

Is there a way to adjust settings for the auto-bright...a file that can be edited or something similar? I want to dim the screen across the board just a bit, but like the auto feature.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:
I just noticed that the Android base for this rom is 2.3.4 - from what I recall, the last iteration of GB was 2.3.7. I know the ICS rom is in development, and that there may not be much feature improvement in the iterations following 2.3.4... but tuna are there any plans to update this rom any further?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] killj0y:
It actually is locked, if you try to exit the clock you have to unlock it at that point.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] killj0y:
Not sure if you tried but wipe efs works great. Otherwise it might be time to try a different radio
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rkwhyte2:
This ROM is based on what Tmobile is currently supporting. As such I don't see it changing unless Tmobile releases something new for the G2 and I find that highly unlikely.

Kirby
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Hoej:
I must say, I LOVE this ROM! I have never experienced anything this smooth and with such long battery life on the Desire Z/T2.

There was one error, though, which was the Scandinavian letters on the physical keyboard that only typed capitol letters with the fix from the first post applied. I adjusted the fix to type Scandinavian letters right, which I have attached.

As far as I can see, there should be no problem including the patched keymap files in the ROM as there are different keymap and keychar files for different localized versions of the phone. Am I right in this assumption?

I had a similar problem, most under dark light conditions where the screen, using G-Lite's default settings, is too bright to my eyes. I adjusted it a bit, which I have attached.

I used this guide to fix the problem so you may follow it to use your own values:

[How To] Customize Auto Brightness
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
Excellent work on this, makes the auto brightness useful, finally!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
@Hoej

do you know how to make the keyboard backlight come on any time the keyboard slider is open, regardless of ambient light?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Hoej:
Yes, when decompiling the framework-res.apk for modifying, in "/res/values/arrays.xml" there are two arrays called "config_autoBrightnessButtonBacklightValues" and "config_autoBrightnessKeyboardBacklightValues" for the four keys on the front and the physical keyboard, respectively. If all the values in these arrays are set to 255, the light will be full on all the time. I see my earlier link is down right now, so here's a link to Google cache of that site:

[How To] Customize Auto Brightness (Google cache)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
yes, I had already deduced that, but the problem I have is that in some brighter situations the backlight goes completely off it seems, and I don't see that accounted for in this list of brightnesses (like I would expect to see the first value in the list to be zero, as in off)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Hoej:
I am unable to reproduce this behavior testing with my kitchens pretty bright lamp. Does it only happen in outdoor light or a specific situation?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] d@rklink:
I can't seem to get RFRSH for Android to work with this ROM. I use it to automatically reboot the device and have given it superuser permissions but the device won't reboot when the application is set to reboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
It probably has something to do with the line right after "Please read carefully" in the application description.......

This is built on HTC stock, not really a custom ROM like CM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] d@rklink:
Crap.... crap crap crap. Of course that's what the app description says on the market. I have just been restoring it from Titanium Backup so didn't even think to check the app description.

"Needs custom ROM on rooted device (not just rooted ROM)"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] killj0y:
What exactly does this app do? Just reboot at regular intervals?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] d@rklink:
It allows you to specify dates/times for when the device will automatically reboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
can some of y'all please check the following - see if you can go into Settings and disable the Android keyboard (the on-screen keyboard) by unchecking the checkbox and then back out all the way to the home screen, it cause my Settings app to lock up

using 2.01 with stock kernel
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:
Just did that - no issues!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arsonist63086:
Replicated issue.... a fc then a 20 sec lag to get to home screen ... ... not a big issue since always one keyboard selected
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] killj0y:
Not really help but why not just reboot first thing in the morning works for me. And takes literally a minute in this ROM
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:
I hate how changing the screen density breaks wifi calling and many apps in the market!!! Ugh I wish there was a solution. We should start a specific feature request thread for this.....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
changing the screen density breaks almost no apps, perhaps only 1 in 100

but you need to realize a couple of things:

1. wifi-calling - it works fine at any screen density, except for the turn on/off screen which must be set on or off while at density 240 - I just leave my switch set to on all the time and go in and out of wifi-calling areas with no problem, it turns itself on and off accordingly and automatically - the only time messing with the density is necessary is to use the on/off screen during initial turn on after flashing a new ROM

2. market apps - google market will tell you that most apps are not compatible with your G2 and stop you from installing them when your screen is set to a density other than 240, but actually the apps work just fine. - the trick here is to set your phone to 240 for a sec, download/install your apps, then change it back to your preferred density

the LCD Resolution app makes changing screen density a 15 second process!

I do agree that we need a spoof mod in G-lite to fool the market into thinking the density is always at 240, because issue #2 is a bit annoying, but certainly can be worked around as I have explained.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:
Thanks wtf! Ha that's funny to say.

Still, I really need access to the wifi calling UI sometimes. If I am having errors on a network (which I have been) and wifi calling fails, I want to check the error logs and see why.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mmafighter121:
Just for reference, as much as I know many look down on benchmarking: Using system tuner, the expirimental kernel, OC/UV beater,and a few simple tweaks, my AnTuTu benchmark is routinely over 3000. Just picked up 3356 with most recent tweaks putting it just over the Galaxy Nexus S. Stellar rom for daily use! Minimal FC and smoother than any other rom I've used! Such a thanks to tun4 for reviving this!

that's what the thanks button is for

the only people who can fix that app to work in other densities are the ones that wrote it

Some questions:

- why this rom is so fast and battery efficent?

It's for the based rom optimized from htc or is for the new kernel?

- It's impossible to make a rom from original AOSP source, with htc drivers? Would be light as this rom?

I ask because I would love to have a rom light as glite 2.0.1, but with some little features from CM source.

- It's possible to make a port of HTC camera in some way to this or to open source roms (as cm or google aosp) ? (I know the problem is the framework)

I would love the original HTC camera, now I'm using virtuous sense only for camera/camcorder.. aosp, cm and miui camera apps don't have good quality as HTC camera and camcorder apps, and the market camera apps as camera 360 are too SLOW to take a picture and are not so good as HTC camera app.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spannow:
camera shutter sound

I like this rom very much, but the camera shutter sound is very loud.

I don't see an option to disable to sound.

Am I overlooking something, or is there an option to disable the camara sound?

Now when I take a picture of my new born son, I scare him with the sound :D

Anyone having issues with the light sensor? From what I see (with auto brightness off) on the app AndroSensor, it stays at "1.0 lux" no matter what environmental light changes occur. Auto brightness also doesn't get darker when it is dark in a room, nor get brighter as I go outside and it is bright out.

Ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Athrun88:
As far as I know, this ROM is battery efficent because it lacks any overlay on top of the natural Gingerbread. Aside from LauncherPRO or whatever launcher you decide to use, it's actually as close to AOSP as you can possibly get IMO.

Anything to do with HTC's Sense overlay is out of the question. The Sense Camera App, like all the other Sense apps/widgets, require the Sense Framework. Without this, the apps and widgets could not function. You would be better off taking a Sense ROM, stripping the Sense launcher out while keeping whatever you like about Sense in.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
This ROM includes the Virtous OC daemon. With screen on, min is 245, max is 998. The major battery savings is when then phone is idle, the min is 245 and the max is 368.

A few pages back, someone modified the framework.apk and posted a zip that altered the sensor settings as well as a link to instructions; it is better than the stock settings, but still experienced the same in low light. I had the same issue with it when I was running CM7.

I have since installed LUX from the market and it seems to to a much better job managing the auto brightness as well as allowing sub-zero settings when I am in a very dark room.
