Instead of posting thanks, hit the thanks button please if you really mean it ;) hehe.

After an hour or so playing around with the rom, its speed is amazing.. even with all my apps installed. no hot reboots no lag, its amazing.. running the stock launcher too.

@ tun4, using oc/uv beater2 I can uc and oc but no uv? is this because of the kernel or other problems? :S thanks for helping me out with this

As for wifi I am 1 notch away from full and I am at the other side of the house, and sometimes gives me full bars. :)

fix the gps issue from last version?:confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
last version had no GPS issue as long as you do an EFS wipe (4EXT will do this for you in latest version) or use guhl's script or dd

also, version 1.03 worked fine with ext4 partitioning - does this version?

is trackpad wakeup working in this version?

is the % battery amount shown in the battery level indicator on the status notification bar like 1.03 did?

is this version set to reject unwanted future automatic OTA updates like 1.03 did?

does 1.04 have the light sensor issue resolved or do we need to patch that again with the corrected sensors.zip file?

does 1.04 retain the great undervolted/underclocked deep-sleep mode that 1.03 had that gave such great battery life?

No. Maybe in a future update.

is trackpad wakeup working in this version?

Not yet.

is the % battery amount shown in the battery level indicator on the status notification bar like 1.03 did?

No, it's the stock framework. It's completely deodexed though, so you can modify it using the UOT kitchen yourself.

is this version set to reject unwanted future automatic OTA updates like 1.03 did?

Probably not, but I doubt tmo will put anymore out.

does 1.04 have the light sensor issue resolved or do we need to patch that again with the corrected sensors.zip file?

Sensors are fine.

does 1.04 retain the great undervolted/underclocked deep-sleep mode that 1.03 had that gave such great battery life?

Yes!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
not to be a pain here, but WTF?

what is the good of getting the OTA update, if we are losing several features in 1.03?

how is this an upgrade exactly? - I need the better radio reception in the OTA, but I hate to give up things that made 1.03 great - why not just update 1.03 with the OTA and let's not go backwards! :rolleyes:

and another thing, non-stock kernels generally create more issues than they solve, the reliability of the stock kernel is why people use G-lite in the first place! (or if it is not stock in 1.03, it is pretty dang close other than the overclock/deep sleep)

If we wanted a non-stock kernel and its associated glitches, we would all be using CM7 or one of its variants!

Flashing this breaks USB connectivity.

On a side note, this actually seems to be a bit faster even though it is using ext3. Scrolling is more fluid and transitions appear a bit more peppy. Thanks for all your work.

If someone is wanting the G-lite battery percentage in the notification bar you can flash the attached via recovery. It is gingerbread green to match the other icons. It is made using the UOT Kitchen.

Flashing the camera fix didn't break USB for me.

I have tried a couple times again this morning. After rebooting when applying the camera fix, I am no longer to connect to the device via USB. Have downloaded the fix again and confirmed MD5 on original ROM.

I have just confirmed that my USB has been broken as well. I tried it on all the USB ports on my laptop and it's a no-go.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Thanks for the heads up, ill work on a new kernel asap. Sorry for the issues
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Cool, so don't use the ROM. Problem solved. I'm still learning about compiling kernels from source, so I'm working the kinks out. I already know what broke the camera, and I understand why USB isn't working on the 'camera fix kernel' I posted. Give me time, or I guess I can give you a refund. Oh, wait...

Btw, you wanna talk about "deep sleep", this is one sleepy phone!

No need to apologize, just glad that someone has brought some life back to this ROM and I am sure everyone is having fun messing with it and it is always nice to have a new dev.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] leikamkei:
tun4f1sh, nevermind that person. Obviously he(or she for all I know) happens to know their fair share but decided not to take a shot at giving back to the community and just whines all day. I greatly appreciate your work and I really hope you learn a lot from this. Keep up the good work :) I will gladly await for updates.... This gives me some time to update my backups :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rkwhyte2:
Don't let them get you down. Some people just expect everything to be handed to them and with no issues to boot. I for one say thanks for the hard work keep it up and you will get the kinks worked out.

Yeah, sometimes I can be a bit of an old grump, but your crack above did actually get a laugh out of me this morning!

OK, I will wait for the fixes patiently, and hope they are all released together as a 1.05 version, rather than a series of patches :D

I'm absolutely in love with your MIUI ROM, so I won't be flashing this anytime soon, but I've used this ROM in the past and thought it was great. I love your work and It will be awesome to see what you do with this and maybe I'll flash it in the future.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
does this ROM have the new T-mo radio built in and the associated libraries, or do we need to apply that after installing the ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Custom roms should never contain a radio. This rom uses the latest tmo ota base, so it has all the libs that come along with it

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arpitnathany:
can someone who has flashed the 2.0.0 update tell me

whats different in the htc kernel compared to mdj's (is the kernel better cos it was made specifically for our phone by htc)

is battery life better/same/worse than 1.0.7

how is the wifi performance compared to 1.0.7 (wifi voltage has been reduced)

thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] verkion:
I just wanted to say that as a newbie to this ROM (I used to use the Virtuous Unity/Affinity line), I am TOTALLY BLOW AWAY by how responsive and smooth non-Sense/ASOP like this one are. I don't know why the hell I never bothered to try a non-Sense ROM, but I'm almost 100% sure I'll never go back. Absolutely blows it out of the water...thank you so much for continuing this development!

Thanks!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] killed:
Very fast, thank developer. Your rom support another language?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Natively, no. However, if you were to decompile the framework-res.apk from this ROM, and the framework-res.apk from CM7, you could most likely merge the language files in that way without too much trouble.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Negazuotas:
Is the trackpad sensitivity better in the new version? :) Anyone can compare?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
mdj's kernel has a ton of extra stuff merged into it from all over the Android spectrum. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. However, it's not what this ROM is about -- my goal with this ROM is to keep it as close to the HTC base as possible. At the same time, adding features that make the ROM more useful without breaking or slowing anything down.

You'll find that this ROM's base is the absolute, hands down, most battery efficient available. I'm comfortable making that claim, because I've tried all the others, and they don't even come close.

To answer your question, the battery life should be ABOUT the same as 1.0.7, but I'd venture to believe that you'd be able to get a few extra cycles out of 2.0.0!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jacky113:
Amazing update tunafish, loving the new power options! doesn't make me miss sense anymore.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spinose:
i still have the same problem, inpossible to switch off the phone, it reboot always

but anyway, perfect rom tuna!! Thank you for the update
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Puffballofdoom:
Finally upgraded to 2.0.0. I always reverted to 1.0.3 because it just felt smoother and better, but 2.0.0 has convinced me. It has the feeling I want, great work tun4, this has made my day :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
does the virtuous_glite directory go in the root directory of the phone or the root of the SD card - I created it in root directory of the SD card and none of the switches for the customizations in the form of the files created for 4g icon, disabling apm etc. had any effect on how the ROM was installed - ROM seems to have been installed all of the defaults, rather than picking up these switches.

also notification bar is missing

not as turnkey as previous versions, did a full superwipe+ext4 with 4EXT, what am I doing wrong here?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Puffballofdoom:
My notification bar crashed as well after first boot. After a reboot it hasn't crashed on me yet...

On a side note. Sometimes when I'm in an app, the screen dims almost instantly and the app freezes. I can pull the notification bar down which is not dimmed, and the only way to get the app running again is pressing the back button. Anyone else experienced the same?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mnementh666:
This sounds like the app itself is crashing/locking up. I *believe* the app dimming out is an indicator of lock. Any particular app? Maybe try uninstall/reinstall?

What happened that this won't over clock above like 998. Last version oc was higher and could uc.is there a defferent kernel I can flash for higher oc?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] leikamkei:
Thanks tun4 for the continued support for this ROM. The speed, usability and the overall smoothness reminds me why I have this as my daily driver :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mike102871:
Installed a different kernel. Can stably oc to 2ghz. Uc to 122mhz. Would tweaking the wifi increase range and signal strength? That would be my only wish.

EDIT: well just realized the kernel I flashed broke the power button. Is it possible to optimize the new kernel in this rom to oc higher??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Puffballofdoom:
This happened in the native SMS app, hasn't happened since my last post. Shortly before the SMS app dimming the settings app did the same... Ill keep things posted if it happens again :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
What modifications are you using to provoke the crash? I'm unable to reproduce. Haven't seen the dimming issue occur either.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Which recovery are you using? My phone shuts down properly with the latest 4ext touch version.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ernestnwanu:
Yep, notification bar crashed on first boot for me too. Will try a reboot. My screen suddenly dims as well.

app.rom

use_4g_icon

disable_apm
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mike102871:
Sounds good.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
more info:

no notification menu until a full power off was done, now have notification bar

ROM did not pick up options such as 4g icon, and disable apm, HOWEVER, my user apps (non-market) were picked up and installed from the /sdcard/virtuous_glite/app.user directory, so go figure

and even more perplexing is my 50 or so market apps have not reinstalled themselves despite being logged in to my google account, turning market auto-updating on, and a sync done

could you explain the specific differences in the two kernels, so that we could assess which one would be closest to meeting our individual needs?

PS - battery definitely better in this 2.0 ROM , and possibly radio reception too, still testing the latter
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:
Does the WiFi Calling interface work in screen densities other than the stock 240? If not, how can I make it work? Haha

Also, my notification bar did not work upon first boot, nor did the power control widget. Custom settings were to use stock launcher and display 4g icon.

I managed to find the battery percentage link that someone made in the thread - but could you upload it to the OP mayhaps? Useful option to have.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] killed:
About "Power" button and context menu when pressed, I think may be small soft integraded is better :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tvdang7:
tried out this rom. its extra smooth i didn't see much battery improvement however. Is there some hidden options or something to customize the rom such as overclocking and stuff or is this rom just a stripped down version of the stock rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
you have to go to that screen with the on/off switch and turn it on while still at 240, then you can go to other densities and it will work just fine as you pass in and out of wifi

the easiest app I have found to quickly change the screen density reliably and keep it that way after reboots is LCD Resolution

I hope the next release to G-lite will have the feature of spoofing the market detection of screen density, because the market wants to lock out most apps as incompatible when you have a non-stock density, even though most all apps work just fine!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] killed:
Use app "CPU Tuner" on Market is Ok for that
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:
Thanks! Haha you actually answered my same question in the Q&A section.

This fix works fine for me, but I'd still like to be able to access the wifi calling screen without having to go through all that! And I totally agree - I hate how the market does that!

Also - for whatever reason, despite google music app being obviously linked to my main account, under accounts and sync, Music does not show up as a check-able option. Anyone know why?

Also, it appears this kernel is not actually set at boot to overclock while the screen is on and underclock while the screen is off. I am only going off what Rom Toolbox and SetCPU are telling me for this, however.

Also, what kernels will work for this? Looking for something undervolted, and a bit quicker...

ONE more question! Anyone know how to enable the CRT on/off screen animations?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Puffballofdoom:
As soon as you install an app like setCPU the virtuous OC daemon will shut off, that's why you might not get the results you expected. When you deinstall setCPU or other OClike apps and reboot your device the OC daemon will kick in again. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Everything looks right. Just to clarify, you created those 2 files (disable_apm and use_4g_icon) BEFORE flashing the ROM, right? If not, simply flash the ROM again without wiping anything and the installer scripts will pickup your customizations.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Google Music - Open Google Music in your browser and make sure you don't have too many devices attached (delete old ones, sometimes you'll get stale data from old ROMs)

Kernel OC on boot: Yes, the kernel is set to OC/UC on boot. This is all controlled by the Virtuous OC Daemon. Installing SetCPU/CPU Tuner will disable this functionality. Use OC/UV Beater to control the daemon, but be sure to uninstall SetCPU first.

Compatible kernels: The one in the ROM, the one from the previous (1.0.7) build and the stock HTC kernel that shipped with the base are the only compatible kernels with this ROM.

CRT animation: maybe in a future release.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] danielhtc:
Keyboard is mapped incorrectly. Patch didn't work. Tried re-flashing as well. Shame cause it seems quite fast. Hope there's a fix soon so I can use it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
of course, duh :rolleyes:

I flashed it again, with another superwipe first, to try and recreate the same scenario, but this time I added a 3rd customization, use_stock_launcher and surprisingly, that one took but the two above did not again

Is there an easy way to make the market stop locking us out of downloading most apps when not at the stock lcd density? (such as a build.prop edit) or is that something you have to do in the ROM?

and still wondering the specific differences in the two kernels to know which one is more suited to the individual user
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spinose:
I also use the last 4ext touch version, i have a desire Z with eng-hboot (0.84.2000)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Thanks WTF?, you've helped me find and squash a bug. I had a syntax error inside of one of the configuration scripts. I'll come up with a proper solution (thinking a patch is in order, but I may do another "full" release).

As for the kernels, the mdj kernel was based on this source repository. The current kernel is based on this repository which minimally deviates from the original HTC kernel source.

v2.0.1 uploading soon, it's a full ROM, not a patch. I'd recommend anyone running v2.0.0 upgrade.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shambolicuk:
Whats the main problem with 2.0.0? I flashed it last night and have now set it all up from a clean install with use_stock_launcher and use_stock_theme and have had no problems at all rom is working really smooth and fast! Should i still move to 2.0.1?

Edit - I flashed 2.0.1 over 2.0.0 and experienced no issues so far, thanks for your commitment to this rom, my device feels clean and smooth :)

Edit - I have had 1 instance of "no status bar" since flashing 2.0.1 over 2.0.0

Desire Z Glite 2.0.0
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Yes, I would recommend you update. None of your settings should be affected, simply flash the new build without wiping anything. v2.0.0 left some stale data behind which could be why some people are having problems with the notification bar freezing up.

Sorry for the rapid releases, but I figure it's better to fix it rather than leave it broken.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
v2.0.1 is online in OP. Sorry for the inconvenience guys, things should quiet down a bit from now on (don't plan on releasing another update until I have some solid feature requests, or some more bugs show up that need squashing).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Puffballofdoom:
The rapid releases give me the feeling you are working on them, I like that. I'd rather have 2 releases in one week then have 1 release in 2 months. The notification bar crashed on me once, hasn't done it since. I will still upgrade though, if it just fixes that :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Thanks for that, and you're absolutely right. I would give you a thanks, but apparently you can't give more than 5 per day :(

But yeah, this is my ROM of choice, and as such I need it to perform properly. If something isn't working right, I'll do my best to isolate it and fix it. Thanks to everyone who reported issues, you guys are a huge help.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mnementh666:
Honestly, there's no need for swap here. It's a lightweight, fast rom. All you'd do with it on G-Lite is wear out your SD card some. If it would even use it. I don't know enough about android swap, but my desktop on linux doesn't use it until the ram is full.

The battery percentage mod now breaks the hold-down power button functionality, and causes a hot reboot.
