boot problems

Hi,

I successfully rooted my G2 and used CM9-vision-RC2 for the last few month (it worked great!). Today I tried to update it to your final version, but at the moment the boot animation won’t stop?!

Pressing power Vol- and selecting recovery, brings me to the clockworkmod menue but, non of the options (like reboot) react??

Any idea what I have done wrong?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Costanel:
I've had the long boot-ani as well. I just let the boot run for some time and it somehow continued after a long while. Perhaps this works for you as well? Did you clean the caches before install?

In the introduction of this forum-topic it says no problems were found yet. I've got three problems (bugs?) that I found in this release.

Perhaps someone can help me solve these?

The phone becomes very sluggish when using Wifi-hotspot and even hangs completely. This function is unusable.

Using bluetooth to pair it to my iPad it can connect, but can't find it when try send files (images) it doesn't show it the devices list.

From the gallery-app I can send files to Facebook, the FB app crashes immediately.

Perhaps you can help me solve these problems, or perhaps fix this in newer versions? :highfive:

Thanks in advance!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] clevetbs:
i had this same problem . i fixed my by disableing animations and setting running application to at most 3.

and it works fine now...

hi guys,

What are the differences between this rom and Mimicry 1.5 ?????

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Warbuff:
Go with mimicry 10 times better
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] phatpaul:
Sorry if these issues were reported before, I can't possibly read all 168 pages of this thread.

I just rooted my G2 and installed recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.0-vision.img, CM9.1-vision-3.0-Final.zip, and gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

I did the wipe in Clockwork. I couldn't figure out how to restore my settings and SMS with Ti backup, so it's pretty much a fresh install.

Works great except 2 issues:

1. hardware buttons (home, menu, back, search) are not sensitive enough. have to press several times or hold down.

2. microphone works during calls, but if I enable then disable speakerphone, it is muted and can't be unmuted until call is ended.

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Warbuff:
Install mimicry
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aktivehate:
Or even better, move to Flinny's CM10 builds. Runs much better than this rom and even more features!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] st0n36:
my lockscreen is missing for weeks, tried every settings but still not show up after sleep.

how to get lockscreen back. also lockscreen with PIN works fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Warbuff:
Go to mimicry
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Costanel:
Thanks for the advice clevetbs, but unfortunately that didn't solve my problems. It hangs on Wi-Fi Hotspot completely, making the mobile really slow (too slow to operate or turn off). I would really like to have this function working, for usage with my notebook and iPad when I'm on the road...

Did anyone else experience this problem?

The problems with Facebook can be overcome however: by adding the photo in Facebook itself, instead of sending it from the Gallery.

What I read from other topics, all ROMs have different problems. Till now these are the only things I noticed in this built, so I've got little reason to look further. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
Make sure you do a complete wipe, super wipe, fastboot -w, just make sure its all clean and reformatted. Then flash mimicry. WiFi hotspot always worked fine for me, can't say about this cm9 build but it should work here too. If it still won't post a logcat so we can see where the issue lies
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] droidinsane:
i need help guys....i rooted my friends desire z and then successfully installed this rom...my friend selected recovery from three option sthat come while long press power button...and phone restored to original desire z 2.2 unrooted...and in bootloop....now please tell me how to reinstall cynogenmod ???
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
Huh, doesn't sound possible... I'm assuming there is some key info missing...

Anyhow, if you're running original 2.2 os then just follow the xda wiki to root from this point using the gfree method. If you still has a custom recovery you may be able to do less work. Can you confirm what method you used to root the phone as well as write down all info on bootloader screen.

Oh and I would suggest making a topic in q&a not in a the developers section, being your issue is not related to this ROM the respectful thing to do is not clog up this thread
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vladimir2k9:
I think he do not delete pc10img.zip from sdcard and back to old rom. reflash this one more time must help him.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
How do you know you are unrooted and running froyo if in bootloop? I suggest continuing here

hi, how can i downgrade from 3.x to 2.42?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fuzzo83:
Hello to all and thanks for this Rom!

It's all ok for me except for one thing:

- the hardware keyboard FN + SPACE shortcut typed after a vowel don't make it accented anymore :(

For example, to type "papà" (daddy) with stock (or Vituous Sense rom) i had to press "p" + "a" + "p" + "a" + FN + SPACE. The last "a" became an "à".

I know that if i keep pressed "a" key the keyboard let me to choose "à" but it's really slow (i have to move finger from hardware keyboard to screen and back again).

There's a way to fix this?

Thanks in advance

Need some advice on upgrading a HTC G2 T Mobile

Am currently running CM 7.2.0 RC3 - vision on a 2.6.35.15 CMKernel. Can this be upgraded to the CM 9? Do i need to upgrade the kernel, too?

The CM site says that the last Stable version was the 7.2 one so that is why i'm asking - as well as the question about the kernel (see http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=stable&device=vision ) so the info is a little confusing...

Any help would be appreciated and have a great evening! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Matze5800:
This Rom includes a new kernel, you don't have to do anything. Just do a full wipe in recovery and flash this ROM with gapps :)

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 4 mit Tapatalk 2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] frazelle09:
Thank you very much, Matze5800. i really appreciate your swift reply. Your answer that the ROM also includes the kernel explains why this ROM is more than twice the size of the CM 7 version.

We'll give it a try. Have a wonderful morning over there in beautiful Bavaria! :)

Video camera

It was an issue in CM7.2 stable and I see it's an issue in this also. Video camera has no focus.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] savysb:
Is this normal? So far the rom is stable and the performance is good. Battery life seems good (1ghz oc ondemand governor), freezing here and there but nothing unusual.

Still, take a look at the screenshots. After a restart it went back to normal.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mymeatb18:
I've seen it happen on my mytouch4g running cm9 ROM so yeah I'd say its normal from time to time. But it seems to fix itself after opening an app and going back, on the mt4g that is dunno about the g2

GPS stays on and drains battery fast

When I engage the GPS sat function in system it stays on until I turn it off in the system settings, just curious if I need to adjust a setting or did I miss something ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] frazelle09:
i don't know if i'm posting correctly or not, anyway i upgraded to the CM 9-20121003-Unofficial-vision as well as the gpp apps and everything went well for a while.

Now, my phone is very slow in refreshing. i even get the round, silver circle for a couple of seconds while it switches from one app to another. i've seen that there is now a version 9-10 and a 9-11 out there, but i don't know if one of these might solve this problem.

Are there any suggestions?

Hate to ask two questions in a post, but i see i'm using Baseband version> 12.22.60.09bU_26.02.01.15.M2. Is this still the correct radio?

Have a great afternoon! :)

I hear ICS is a bit of a ram hog.. has any dev considered using/making a kernel with swap partition activated in CM9?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DRSdroid:
Flashed this lastnight.. few issues

1-Does anyone know how to reload wifi keys from a nandroid backup via titanium backup in ICS (in GB used to be able to just reload settings)

2-Same question (reloading parts from a nandroid via tb) about text messages, used to just be able to reload phone/messaging storage

3-3g doesn't seem to be working.. always on edge. (does 3g or 4g work on this rom)

4-Does anyone have a fix for voice search?

5-MMS doesn't seem to work.. anyone else have this problem?

6-Is the services.jar file in this rom already altered for Supercharger?

Actually i spoke too soon.. i got mms and 3g working (not sure if it's 4g yet). Also just used the individual backup of wifi keys rather than pulling from nandroid.. also a-ok.

What did you use for texts?

anyone have any luck with CM9 music app in this?

Also, i know i need to alter the services jar for SC, some ICS roms actually have it pre-altered, was just curious if this one did or not

:) also, getting interesting results with different cam apps, will report back soon

ALSO.. seriously would really love to see swap and a2ext on this rom.. just saying.

Overall this rom is NICE, fast, smooth, clean. Haven't had a single graphical glitch. Really loving ICS. This is basically a DD. Hell the launcher is already faster, smoother, and more stable than my golauncher was on GB

Just wanted to say rock on, developers. I'd love to support this by downloading, installing, and giving feedback, but since it's my only phone (no landline), I'm a little reluctant since it's still in pre-Alpha and I've never rooted/flashed before. But, I will definitely be donating a few bucks to the cause.

So… I've tried ICSSGS 3.1 with default kernel and Devil kernel 15, and Slim ICS with default, Devil 1.0 and Semaphore 0.8

So far, i have to say that Slim + Semaphore has best performance (smartass V2, sio) but ICSSGS with Devil 15 had better battery life +and it had Voodoo color :) ).

Which ROM/kernel combo do you prefer?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zamiurratul:

Kernel i have tried with these ROMS : devil 13, 14.2, 15.1, 1.0 and glitch 14 b2

from my point of view the best combination : ICSSGS 3.1 + devil 14.2

hope it helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dilawer:
ICSSGS RC4.2 + Devil 14.2 (SmartassV2 + Deep Idle "ON" + Sio) gives me the best battery life, fast rom and no lags whatsoever. :D

I had pretty good battery life with ICSSGS RC4.2 + Devil 14.2. I'm now testing CM9 Alpha and it seems good as well. Hard to tell which is best.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubadude:
I guess battery life depends on your usage. I would say I am a fairly light user. I use my tablet more than my phone.

I haven't tried too many ICS Roms (Team ICSGS 4.1 & 4.2) but I have tried several kernels (Devil 15.1 & Devil 14.2, Semaphore 0.8 & 0.8.1 [basically the same]). For my use semaphore has been the best. Devil 14.2 I got maybe day and a half, 15.1 I didn't use for very long as everyone was talking about 14.2. Semaphore I can get between 3 & 4 days. Been using it about 10 days (I think) & definitely best for me. Little or no lag & great battery. Also I haven't experienced the lag a lot of people seem to get on devil after extended use.

(I had "hello hello" bug with CM7 & some users have reported this issue with Teamhacksungs CM9 so I have not tried it)

I generally have both wifi & 3g off & turn them on when I need them. I would say I make several calls, sms's & emails, use with things like xda, g+, facebook for an hour or two, maybe more and I fiddle a fair amount especially when I flash something new.

I don't have any stats or benchmarks but for me this is as good a battery life as I have ever had and my usage is pretty much as it has always been.

Right now I'm on 2 days, 11 hours with 62% battery. This with using the calculator on and off over a three hour accounting session as I forgot my calculator.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dilawer:
I do game alot on my device, and use Wi-Fi for like 3-4 hours and the battery lasts slightly more than a day. Don't know about others but these are my figures and I'm quite happy about it.

switch to ics 3.1 with stock and devil - good

ics 4.2 stock, devil15.1, 14.2 good performance but battery drain

switch to semaphore 0.75 awesome (chargeing bug) then 0.80 great

and now semaphore 0.81 for 11 days of useing unbeatable

after 4 cycles of charge batery lasting for my way of use for 2 1/2 days

3g always on, sync on, a lot calls and internet

its not the multitasking bad phone for sure.. that's what i can say... i do that and much more all the time....

move your music player to phone memory, then you will be sure its not the memory card

I'm assuming you accidentally hit "reboot into recovery. If you are not a "techy" guy, you need to get in that mode and follow the link dude provided.
