I have created the file use_stock_launcher in /sdcard/virtuous_glite but I still only have the option of running LauncherPro. I have the paid version of LauncherPro, in case that makes a difference. I want to switch to the stock launcher for a while to see if LauncherPro is the cause of some intermittent problems I've been having. How do I switch to the stock launcher?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
You have to reflash the rom after you make and place the file in the folder.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] g0kb3rk:
I have flashed many roms but G-Lite is my all time favorite because it doesn't have sense and doesn't consume RAM but on the other hand Sense based ROMs have much better camera.

This ROM requires two things if it will be updated in the short-run,

1. Better pictures and camera options (e.g. panorama and other styles)

2. Sharing option is a problem, can't be rolled up or down

I have Android Revolution HD in my Z for the holiday, when I return I will have G-Lite flashed
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mnementh666:
Sadly, given that tuna has dropped developing/porting (to my knowledge), this may not be updated.

And the extra camera modes and features are a Sense thing. This is just HTC's version of AOSP. As such, I don't believe it's possible to integrate those features. I'm sure there cam apps in the Play Store that will suffice, though.

It wouldn't suck if someone could go through and update some of the stock apps and such, to get it more up to date, though. :)

Maybe I'll look into how that gets done and do it. Maybe.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
There was recently a maintenance update to this ROM's source. I'm considering updating/refreshing G-Lite, but honestly, it's pretty much perfect for me as-is.

Here's the info on the update: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1809

Maybe I'll get motivated if I have some time. Maybe.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:
Hm. New RUU involved with this? Do you (or anybody else) know what is contained in this update?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
A little freshening up would be nice, but this ROM is pretty much perfect as is. It would at least satisfy those of us that are addicted flashers.

It looks like it is just a security and stability update.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] g0kb3rk:
I have one simple with the G-Lite, I can't share photo in the Gallery if the list is longer than the screen. It doesn't scroll up or down.

@tunafish: it is the best and fastest GB ROM for the Z, thank you very much for your efforts.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arsonist63086:
Something tells me that the "security" update by tmo is going to make root harder and also will have something to do with the built-in wifi hot spot on the phone since now their are announcing the fact that you can wifi tether with their premium plans (don't know about the no contact plans) so I'm guessing the update will let tmo know when hot spot is being turned on. Just seems funny to me that a forgotten phone is getting a update out of the blue. Just my 2 cents
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] raydar670:
Easily the fastest ROM I've ever used on my G2. Fast, stable, and no complicated customization (so it's great for use by my parents).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mnementh666:
And once again... he lives! :D Very glad to see you around.

I have a 2 1/2 yr old, so I understand the "if I have some time" part.

And the only refresh i'd like to see is the apps and whatnot. Maaayyybbeee the source update, if it's anything worthwhile. The link doesn't give much info, so I don't hold much hope for it. I figure they'd be more touting the changes if it is anything to write home about.

And, I agree about the perfect daily driver Rom. As I said, it just works. Thanks again for creating/updating it. Much appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nelsdzyre:
Can any of you here do me a favour? Please install Book of Heroes from the playstore and see wether it will load properly or not. I've tried it on on GB based roms and it doesnt work. Currently on ICS and consumed way too much battery..i needed a basic and fast rom that can play this game.

If anyone willing i thank you beforehand!

thank you man! now i can use this rom :D

i cant seems to make it work even with chanfire3d + nvidia. anything else im missing?

Dunno, seems to be working here. It takes a while to load, though. I have no tweaks done.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nagash91:
What about 2wcr? It's impossible to integrate in this rom/kernel?

I come back to this rom every time I use ICS, JB, cm7 or original sense rom.

This is soo much better, even cm7 is slow compared to this, because you get 230-260 of free ram vs180-200 of cm7 :good:

The only features I miss for perfection, with ideas for solutions:

- Sense camera: impossible... I think..:(

- Camcorder focus during recording: sense camera only, or lg camera pro with ICS/JB.. I think this is possible to integrate.. but I don't know how.. some roms can use this feature with lg camera pro. Other roms can't.. :confused:

- Music track skip with volume rocker: I use tactile player for this.. but it use ram! integrate this feature in rom is better. This feature can be ported in some way. I have integrated in my lightsense rom, using a modded framework. In that framework someone have integrated that feature with a mod in .dex, so we can modify also this framework in some way :good:

- CM mms.apk with black background, text dimension, send with enter options: I have a cm mms.apk version usable in all roms, this cm mms.apk is framework free.. I found it on xda a lot of time ago, I can't remember where I found it so I can't give credits.. I'll upload soon :good:

- Quick settings in status bar: I don't know if this is possible without third part apps.. I remember a tmobile g1 rom that have a corssed framework from cm and aosp, that integrate quick settings in status bar without integrate all cm6 feature... :confused:

- T9 in original android dialer: I don't like market apps for this, they use too much ram for simple feature like dialer and contacts and they have not the "aosp look" and simplicity.. making app from aosp with mod? :silly:

- Cm7 torch app: similar on the market (nexus torch) but can't use death ray. We can modify open source nexus torch? cm7 torch is based on that app!!

- 2wcr (2 way call recording) can't be used. Cm7 kernels break wifi :silly: we can integrate this in kernel Here is explained how from the developer of 2wcr from market :good: we can integrate in htc kernel and/or experimental kernel (kernel must be open source ;) )

I think that if we can port these feature to this rom, it will be perfect!

We can make flashable update.zip to integrate some of these feature, without touching the original perfect rom.

I'd like to do it all alone but I can't, otherwise I would have already done :laugh:

If someone think that this rom is perfect for our device, but lacks of these or other feature, please help me to make this rom better. :fingers-crossed:

I am sorry if I brought this up again but I kind off desperate, Flashed G-Lite and after that the keyboard fix but still the keyboard is not mapping properly. The alphabets are good. When I pressed FN, it messed up.

I want to purchase RamExpander. before buying the app the developer have give compability check for the app..but I have no luck because it says 'your device is not accept a swapfile,your device is not compatible with swapit RamExpander,to become your device full swap support you should try to find custom kernel for your device via google,because your device manufacturer has locked the swap-function on your device' .can anyone suggest a kernel that support swap function with this rom???and it safe to flash other kernel with this rom???

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mnementh666:
I'm going to quote my previous post about this topic:

With that out of the way, there are a couple of kernels you can use, but you run the risk of breaking other things (wifi, camera, etc). Have you tried using the advanced kernel? I have forgotten if that one enable swap.

Came back to this rom. I'm going to give it a few days for the battery to settle. But I remember I use to get 2 days out of this thing and it just flowed no problems. Its flowing right now. Had the wifi deep sleep problem, but wiping wifi calling data seems to have fixed it. Tun4fish, I know you can't update this rom because it doesn't need it. Thank you for such an awesome rom. Should have the bulletproof tag associated to it. I have it on conservative 806-245 and screen off 245-245. I'm going on 13 hours HEAVY USAGE. The deep sleep of this rom is amazing and I can't wait for it to settle.

Any chances on getting German language and a German keyboard layout in this rom? i love the snappiness of it. Thats exactly how a rom should feel! If this is ROM was in German I could finally give up the search for a well running Rom
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sorceforge:
I don't know about German keyboard, but, in terms of German language, how about using morelocale2 app?

Also, maybe, overwriting German keymap files to the rom could solve key layout problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Athrun88:
Hey, Tun4f1sh, good to see that you've taken over G-Lite. Your first stumble and lightning quick recovery in releasing a new kernel is really a testament to what kind of dedication you seem to want to put into this ROM. RMK left some huge shoes to fit, but it looks like you have the attitude required to keep us G-Lite users happy.

I'm in the process of flashing and setting up now, will report back shortly.

Keep it up and don't listen to the trolls!

Nice, I always liked G-Lite the most among stock AOSP roms :)

You might want to consider forking the kernel sources and keeping your changes updated there, so that people can help you improving the kernel or create other kernels based on yours ;)

TP Wake

Don't see this covered in either this thread or on virtuousrom.com's thread for G-Lite; does anybody have a working trackpad wake solution for version 1.0.5 of G-Lite? That's the only piece of the puzzle that's missing.

Great ROM, keep up the awesome work tun4f1sh! I was using your Bulletproof MIUI ROM before this one and both are great but this one has working sms timestamps and voicemail notifications...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] busbutt:
I believe it is covered in both threads actually. Trackpad wake is not available for these ROMs as far as I understand because they are based on HTC source rather than true AOSP and the source code for the parts that would need to change for trackpad wake are not available. I think the devs are well aware of this issue and would add it if they could, but they can't.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] astriaos:
I'm happy to see this finally updated. Now to get Doubleshot overhauled :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TimD123:
Thank you for the quick response however you are mistaken. RMK (the original maintainer of this ROM) did have a Sense rom which had a working trackpad wake. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1117175 And may work for this rom but I don't have the knowledge to get it going. So I know it's possible, if anybody has the time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
The original post from RMK regarding trackpad wake for the G-Lite Rom is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13935936

It has also included in this very same thread for those who do not bother reading here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19467914

Sense ROM and this ROM are entirely different creatures from the ground up so ability to control is different. Even the controls on HTC AOSP Gingerbread are different than Froyo and do not allow support for trackpad wake through scripting.

Edit: If you are really wanting some device hardware wake, you may want to look at widgetlocker or another program that support hardware button wake. Although it will only support volume and maybe the camera button; for some the volume rocker may be a bit more intuitive by the way the phone is held, just an option.

The best rom I ever had! Super fast, I can open a lot of apps and switch between them. Now I've got open 6 apps and 16 background process an I have got still 202MB free RAM! Of course everything is working because i based on stock rom :)

@Xardejn- you must decompile apps like framework-res.apk, settings.apk, SystemUI.apk etc by APKTool for example, and translate strings in xml files. There are o lot of tutorials :) It's not hard but it's very time-consuming because of the "framework-res.apk" is about one and a half thousand lines to translate.

Hi,

so this ROM is AWESOME to start with, like many others I moved to JB and ran back to GB.. However stock GB sucks on DesireZ this is much better..

Only issue I find is that when you switch from 3G to Wifi the internet isn't working, you have to disable and enable the Wifi.. Does anybody have that problem?
