I'm switching over from V 1.01 and found it seems to work just fine I have it set at 998 max and 599 min ondemand and my screen off 368 max 245 min interactive should the built in profiles give me better performance an battery life? And even with the file deleted and not replaced the amber light still comes on even when I deleted and replaced the original. Also what's the recommended radio for this ROM, also something I noticed happening is my custom ringtones I set form the music app dont seem to stick
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
Think I have found a bug, can someone try and duplicate it?

If I use wifi calling, the sound quality is great and it is also great for the call recipient, so far, so good........UNLESS that recipient is ALSO a t-mobile customer and ALSO using wifi calling for that same call as well - then the sound quality for both parties is poor.

Anyone tried calling another t-mo user and you are both using wifi calling and see what I mean?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
The built in Daemon is wake: 245/998 and sleep: 245/460. There are additional memory tweaks that may or may not be effected when manually altered using SetCPU.

Did you restart the device after replacing the file? That is the only file added to enable LED notifications, so replacing it with an older file should care for it. If it is still not working, let me know and I will post a flashable zip with the old file.

Latest radio, 26.13.04.19 (tun4f1sh posted earlier that the ROM has the appropriate RIL's)

As far as custom ringtones, I have not really noticed a problem unless the phone is plugged into a PC. The phone can not read the SD card when it is mounted on the PC.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] scottmahoney:
Nope it won't work after the reboot tried it a few times:/ A flashable ZIP would be appreciated and instructions on how to apply it properly. Also the ringtones seem to working now I found easy way to fix it anyway just put you're music you want as a ringtone in the ringtones folder in system/media. And could someone direct to the update.zip of the recommended radio I'm finding the battery life is sucking with the radio from version 1.01

EDIT: Also just wondering should I uninstall setCPU just wondering
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
SetCPU and other overclocking or governor apps are not a good match for this ROM - If you want to overclock, you are probably on the wrong ROM for that.

This one seems to do much better with CPU frequency left alone, not to mention that any additional overclocking than what is included with G-Lite just wrecks the terrific battery life in an exponential fashion!

and as the inventor of overclocking in the PC world (back in '81) I might just know what I am talking about on the subject :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Novalis31:
Giving it a try now. Its good to see that someone took it over and give it life again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] scottmahoney:
I'm not really over clocking as you can see almost all of my frequinces are the same as the built in governor so I geuss I will see what the battery life is like and if I can't get at least 24 hours our of it like in V 1.01 with SetCPU I'll uninstall it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Uninstall Setcpu. The built in OC daemon is much quicker and more graceful at handling screen on/off profiles. Like WTF? mentioned, you really don't need to tweak CPU settings much on this ROM. They're pretty balanced as is; although you do have the option - download OC/UV Beater to tune the OC daemon
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
as tun4 stated... setCPU = fail on ANY rom that has a built in OC Daemon, if you need "control" then OC/UV Beater is definitely the route you want to take... setCPU defeats the purpose and actually DIMINISHES performance, at least when it comes to smoothness...

as others have stated, SEVERE battery drain can happen with this rom with anything above and beyond the default clock settings... I have personally experienced it, and after leaving it at default speeds, I found the performance to be more than adequate and battery drain is pretty damn good... personally I'd like a slightly faster OC without the battery hit, not sure why this happens on AOSP roms, or maybe it's just HTC based AOSP roms...

Arabic Support

Hi, i love the rom. but i have a problem, arabic doesnt work fully in this rom. It works in CM7 but this is much better. Im new to the whole rom developing thing, but ive narrowed the arabic support down to a few files, 3 libs, libandroid_runtime.so, libskia.so, libwebcore.so. and framework.jar.

These files seem to be the ones that make arabic fully work. I got this info from ardoid.com

Ive tried copying these files from CM7 in the kitchen, but it wont boot, when i logcat i see it keeps repeating "netd 1.0 starting".

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advanced
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] matthewjett:
I figured out whats breaking the "use_4g_icon" for me. I flashed the 2.0.1 version and the 4g icon worked fine. Then i flashed the % battery mod made by cswroe and then booted - and I was back to the "H" icon.

Just thought I'd share my experience.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
Try making your own using the files after after you use the "use_4g_icon"

It is easy to make one at the UOT kitchen.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] veloz46:
Why not in the rommanager? Neither the kernel nor the rom?

tun4, the community is missing your bulletproof vest for our phones.. :'(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] scottmahoney:
Still can't seem to get the 4g icon working on my phone or replacing the lights.vision.so to get the notification light to stop turning on when I get a text anyone have any ideas?

EDIT: also would anyone be able to point me in the direction of the recommended radio for this rom
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Recommended radio: 26.13.04.19

No LED on notification, flash this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/102177/glite_no_led_patch.zip

Not tested but should work fine. Flash over ROM, no wiping. Hit thanks if you're happy :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mike102871:
Can you increase the wifi signal strength. Seems signal is weaker at home on g lite. I just test drove bindroid last 2 days and siganl strength is def stronger. I even pick up neighbors.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] madmachinist:
Video playback

G-LITE SEEMS TO BE THE BEST G2/DZ ROM FOR VIDEO PLAYBACK.

I tested several different 720p video files, using G-lite 2.0.1 with MX video player, streaming from my SMB file server, using a wireless N router.

.wmv and .mp4 files play smoothly using H/W decoding, no noticeable frame drops.

.ogg and .avi files play smoothly using S/W decoding, no noticeable frame drops.

.mov files drop frames every 2-3 secs, but are still watchable.

this is very impressive, considering that all the test files were actually encoded at 720p resolution, and i did not have to re-encode them to a more mobile friendly resolution/format. I have tested many other good roms (Cyanogenmod 7, MIUI, all Stock G2 versions, Virtuous / Unity / Affinity / Sense to name a few) and have not been able to replicate the same level of performance for video playback with any of them.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
I'll look into it, thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] scottmahoney:
So ok going to sound retarded here but how do I apply this with clockworkmod recovery never done this before and where could I get ahold of the PC10IMG.zip for the recommended radio as my battery life is sucking right now with the radio from V 1.01 and hopefully the new radio will help

Edit: applied it it didn't work I went to recovery applied update from sdcard unless I'm doing it wrong
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jacky113:
You pick flash from zip and then select that file.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] scottmahoney:
Didn't work I tried in recovery and from rommanager itself the way you would install a new rom none of them seem to have worked

---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------

Ok I did a reflash of the rom over my current install and the 4g icon worked and the led notification worked

Now I just need to get a hold of the recommended radio as my battery life is sucking atm
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jacklc000:
Is there a way to under volt the stock kernel?

Or does the experimental have that capability?

I'm very happy with the battery life...just would like to toy around a bit with the voltages some :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] popimp315:
The best way to do it so you don't mess anything up is download the radio from the radio page. Not the .img, download the .zip... It should be a bunch of numbers long and end with _19.zip...after it has downloaded go to whatever you use for a file explorer and chang the name to pc10img.zip and place it on the root of your sd card. Not inside a folder. Then boot into bootloader and it should recognize it, flash the radio and you should be set. Then boot to normal and remove the file. Hope that helps.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
I recommend 4EXT over clockworkmod recovery, faster, easier, just plain better program all around! (Never known anyone who has tried 4EXT and then gone back to Clockworkmod)

I have noticed this too, weaker and slower, why do I get my full 12 mbps wifi download speed to 3 different computers sitting 15 feet from the router, but when using the phone in the same location 15 feet away from the same router, I only get 9 mbps max. download speed to my G2? (using speedtest.net - atlanta server - tested on many different days)

It's my understanding that it's already undervolted in G-lite using either kernel when the phone is sleeping, which is the only time you want it undervolted!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
I want to underscore above: REMEMBER TO REMOVE THE PC10IMG.zip FILE FROM THE ROOT OF YOUR SD CARD AFTER FLASHING THE RADIO.

If not done, this will be quite troublesome when wanting to enter recovery through bootloader unless you have an sd card reader/writer.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ernestnwanu:
Finally a Rom I'm on for longer than a week lol. The only thing I miss are the CM settings but it's so worth it!

Sent from my Desire Z running Virtuous G-Lite.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arsonist63086:
@tun4f1sh is their a way one can revert back to the none tweeked wifi settings you made in 2.0.1 and set it back to normal to see if it helps us out in the week wifi area. Before the tweek wifi seemed to be aok ..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] scottmahoney:
ever since upgrading ive been getting data usage charges for a number 000 000 0777 I don't understand how I am getting charged for a call That I did not even make could this have somthing to do with the new rom
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mike102871:
As many roms as I've flashed on many diff phones, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the rom. I think you got scammed in one of those texts where you get subscribed without knowing. ??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
No, call your carrier and find out why you're getting such a weird charge.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Check back later tonight, I'll compile a new kernel with stock wifi voltages. Will need you guys to test, my wifi is flawless with the lower voltage.

I'd recommend making sure your wireless AP isn't broadcasting on a channel that has any other SSIDs on it. Channels 6 and 11 are the defaults, so stay away from those. Grap the app "Wifi Analyzer" from the market. See which channels in your area are congested, and make sure your router isn't on one of them. Could make a huge difference.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] matthewjett:
Id absolutely be willing to test. I can say that Ive changed my router channel to 1 which has no one else around me on it, and Ive still had the same performance issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s14mc:
This is the best advice I've seen in a long time, and this really makes a HUGE difference as tun4 said.

When I set up wifi in my house I couldn't connect to my router. I turned on wifi analyzer and it turns out 5 ppl were on the same channel. I changed my channel and all was good. Its such a powerful app. Anytime my wifi screws up I check wifi analyzer and change to the least congested channel. Works everytime. I guess ppl around me go thru routers
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arsonist63086:
Oh ok koo thanks man that would be grate . But one thin though will the new kernal your going to make afect the 2 different kernels we are running some lace experimental (me) and others running the HTC kernel?? ..... your low voltage wifi tweek might be flawless but was thinking that wouldn't it make things a bit iffy in the sense that the new radio and ota rom (base rom) that rolled out already fixed some of the battery issues by making it more efficient. I my self ran the new ota combo and their was a big different in battery life. Wat I'm trying to say is I think the new radio and base rom took care of wifi and other stuff to make it more bat friendly ... just my 2 cents
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Both kernels (regular/experimental) have the reduced wifi voltage patch. The kernel I'll be posting in a few minutes will simply be the "regular" kernel with HTC's stock wifi voltage values. Hope that makes sense.

Not sure I understand where you're going with the OTA combo stuff. My philosophy with taking over this ROM, was to keep it as close to stock as possible, and only add the necessary bits that custom ROM users have come to expect (OC capability mainly).

The reduced wifi voltage should result in a negligible amount of battery savings. Battery use reduction = good; unless it's at the cost of breaking ****, in which case it's not worth it. If users report that reverting the wifi voltage tweak fixes their low signal issue, I'll do away with the tweak.

Unrelated, but it should also be noted that HTC hasn't updated their kernel sources for the G2 since it was on Froyo. This is a GPL violation. They've posted the Desire-Z kernel source, but it's entirely possible (and probable) that the G2's kernel is built from an entirely different repository. Now that the G2 will officially be banned for imports into the US due to the Apple patent battles, I highly doubt releasing G2's updated kernel sources is at the top of their priority list. Regardless, I urge all of you to send them emails asking for updated sources! Fresh kernel source = better custom kernel, period.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:
No problems with wifi here - I recall checking wifi analyzer at my house, my default channel 11 was clear.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Kernel recompiled with wifi voltage at HTC stock values:

edit: I derped on this one, link removed.

Please test and let me know if you're getting better results.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arsonist63086:
What I ment by the combo (radio and rom) was that the new ota rolled out would fix some battery issues ( which it did. In my opinion ) and reseption issues.. so if htc tweeked everything for better battery life with the new radio my guess is the the tweek u did must of even lowered the voltage on the wifi (I'm think as in volts and amps since that's what I understand more and understand code less lol) since I've noticed when my battery is relly low like in the red about 5% the wifi loses connection and reconnect again when befor it wouldn't .... don't know if this helps explaing what I tred to befor ......

so what your saying the new pach can be flashed over experimental and htc kernal? .........

Yeah I heard about the band on older htc phones cuz of the patend. ****en apple ....

None the less thanks for everything in your rom
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arsonist63086:
just flashed this and broke wifi.. wifi wont turn on, in wifi settings next to wifi it says "error" .... :( :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Thanks, and sorry about that. I see the problem, new test kernel compiling now.

Kernel with stock wifi voltage: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/102177/glite_kernel_12282011_take2.zip
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arsonist63086:
no prob ....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
testing wifi performance of new kernel now

is there also any similar kernel or ROM adjustment that could be made for boosting the radio voltage or anything else to help reception in weak signal areas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Thanks for testing. If you don't mind, please provide some actual tangible evidence to show that the voltage tweak makes a difference (i.e. signal strength in dBm before/after). Speedtest.net (or whatever site) results are arbitrary, and can be unreliable -- especially when testing these kind of things. :D

Re: your question about radio power. I've never looked into it, so I can't answer with 100% certainty. I'll read up on it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
using wifi analyser, my wifi went from -40db to -34 db on one test and from -81 to -72 on another test and brought up another wifi network not seen before on yet another test, so this hack seems to definitely improve wifi reception

speed tests will require more time for a definitive answer, because I need to check a problem location about 80 miles away tomorrow night, but looks good on initial testing
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:

Taken from the exact same location.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Lol, thanks. Thought that might be the case.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mike102871:
I'm using the experimental kernel now, for higher oc capability. Flashing the new wifi affect this at all?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mike102871:
Gave the wifi patch a shot. 2 issues. One I was unable to connect to my network after applying it. 2 it breaks the oc capability if using the "experimental" kernel. Thankful I had a restore.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arsonist63086:
Tested th new patch. Issues 1. Breaks over clock for experimental.. 2. Can only pic up one network when I was able to pick up more with wifi tweek and before wifi tweek ..

Restoring backup...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] FloggingHank:
I have the following problem:

Sometimes, out of nowhere, some keys of the hardware keyboard act like shortcuts to apps. For example pressing the 'L' while typing a message or e-mail etc. will open the calendar. And pressing E will open the mail program. Is this a known issue? Can i turn it of?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
Happens often with this device, if you press the search button (magnifying glass) on the hardware keyboard it will switch it off.

If you do not use quick launch, you can clear it out by going to Settings/Applications/Quick Launch, longpress on the ones that are assigned and select clear.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
I don't know about you guys, but the wifi voltage patch worked for me, it needs to stay as either a permanent part of this ROM or at least as an option when flashing, my poor wifi speeds are fixed!!

and speaking of this ROM, when did we get all of these sucky ringtones, without at least leaving in place the stock ones as well, where is the famous T-mobile jingle, for example?

and finally, I am definitely having less weird issues and force closes etc. with the new stock kernel as opposed to the experimental one. This ROM+stock kernel is worthy of the Bulletproof moniker!!

this just earned someone the THANKS button ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Negazuotas:
I ran into a strange battery problem:

It started to drain excessively at about 40% left. No 3rd party background apps running, no Mobile network, no wifi, no phone usage. Lost 20% within an hour. Battery callibrated at 100% right after installing ROM (12 days ago). And it happened third time with this ROM.

Using non-experimental kernel.

Anyone experienced it?

NOTE: wifi was turned on to download a screenshot app.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mike102871:
The new wifi patch did nothing but mess up my wifi. Couldn't connect to anything. I had to restore back up. I m using the "experimental" kernel and I do not have any problems at all. Zero, none. Rom runs perfect and fast. Battery still only goes almost a day. But I do use my phone a lot on web. Mostly wifi since I'm in a 2G area.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] matthewjett:
The new kernel didn't exactly solve the problem, I too got the same signal quality as with the mdj kernel. Thanks tun4 for helping us find out whether it was the voltage tweak that was messing with the WiFi.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
This rom is amazing, closest thing to perfect on here. Just two issues:

1. When I turn phone on, launcher pro seems to freeze for a while. I cannot do anything on home screen. I either have to reboot or the launcher restarts itself. Any suggestions?

2. No voicemail notifications in status bar. This is a problem with Rogers users only, I have discussed in detail on this thread. I always welcome any suggestions.

Thanks again @tun4 for this great piece of work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mike102871:
Yeah I don't get why when I tried the laggy bindroid rom, I saw neighbors wifi. Never have had that happen with any rom in the past 10 monthes of having this phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Razorless:
Hey there,

I have a german Desire Z and all the hardware keyboard key ä,ö,ü,€,= are not working. You know, german key stuff.

The Patch didnt do it. Still the same.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pearse:
LauncherPro always seems to force close on first boot, even on CM7 roms. It's nothing to worry about. Fix Permissions seems to stop the force close on boot but doesn't last for some reason :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mike102871:
Go launcher is much nicer. I use that on this rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arsonist63086:
Try a fresh instal. Wipe everything and flash g- light again and see if it helps
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Razorless:
Well, it didnt help, used super wipe g2+ext4, but some keys still dont work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
get 4EXT from the market ($2) and use that to superwipe with ext4 when doing the flash of the current 2.01 ROM (it's an option during flashing of the new ROM when using 4EXT in the advanced mode, make sure to check the advanced mode check box in the setting menu of 4EXT) and don't use the experimental kernel switch in the /virtuous_glite directory

but first, try pulling the battery for an hour, that has given some amazing results in the past

also, did you try the Desire Z keyboard patch that is listed on the first post of this thread?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Razorless:
Well, whats the difference between using 4EXT for superWiping instead of superWipeG2+ext4 (which was recommended by this forum)?

Hm, and why should a batterypull for an horur do more than for a couple of seconds? I mean, no juice for RAM is no juice. Not that it has some hidden power supply thats drained after an hour.

Also, keyboard patch did nothing.

Its just that I wanna make sure this works, before I try it out. I spend several hours flashing different ROMs yesterday and missed a lot of SMS/calls....
