I'm using the most recent 4ext recovery; I opened up the gapps zip and didn't see the Play Store app in there anywhere (unless it's not named something obvious), which is odd.

For the record, I had problem with the 12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17

I switched yesterday to 26.10.51.26.

Will be if it's okay now...

On Vision, Radios aren't inclued in the ROM (except RUU or sometomes official rom maybe.)

Edit : android.process.media crashes now !!! GRRR

still a lot of my problems are not fixed with alpha3:

its working, I tried new apk <-> bild.de in-app picture gallery is still broken (not so important)

mounts2sd still tells me my phone is s-on protected (with 10.1 this problem was not present) (important to fix)

when playing with my phone and a call is incoming I cant answer the call.

It took the phone 4minutes to turn on the screen. Before only the softkeys light up. (!very important!)

+new: i cant send files with bluetooth. I tried to send an apk, not working. I can receive this file and I can send html files but not apks. tried to rename it and different apks, no success.[/QUOTE]

Did you do a full/double wipe? Otherwise try the double wipe with G2-AIO.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] riahc3:
Changelog (in case it wasnt posted):

Big kernel updates in the display/ion area (mainly thanks to paul-nl but many people have chipped in) We are now running on AU_LINUX_ANDROID_JB_VANILLA_04.02.02.060.053 props.

Switched to a slightly modified qcom_gps (GPS works on vision and saga for me....)

I cobbled together a camera wrapper so we can use the CM camera repo directly without a fork, this should mean we can set parameters and tweak things like the resolution list, default levels etc going forwards.

I've also switched back to using cm's qcom audio directly but don't have a sim to test calls with here.... if things like ringtone dont work try copying audio.primary.msm7x30.so from alpha 2 across and I'll look into it some more.

Synced with CM 's framework_base.

Other than the legacy media/display repo's and obviously our device repo's there are 2 patches which require us to have forks of CM repo's (framework_base for trackpad wake/unlock) and qcom_gps to make vision's GPS work :)

Starting to look pretty stable :)

Hello, here is my feedback

Since alpha 2 (installed after full wipe) I keep losing:

* the same 3 apps from homescreen after a reboot (xda, ifunny, and carrefour).

* the WIFI region code which defaults back to USA (instead of staying on Europe as I reimpose every time). Until I reset it to Europe, I can't connect to my router...

Other than that It keps getting better and better each release.

Same situation here.

Downloaded both the ROM and the gapps listed on Flinny's website post to my computer, transfered them to my sd-card, verified the md5 of gapps (no md5 was listed for the ROM)

All seemed to work fine, but the Play Store wasn't showing up.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DROITURK182:
Going to download Alpha 2 with gapps and see if the play store is there and if that works going to dirty flash Alpha 3.

You have the g2 bootloader, if you change to the desire z one this will fix your issue

Thanks for nice opportunity with this museum phone ;)

One bug/thing:

-bluetooth phone calls dont work. Listening music works fine via bt handsfree. Need to test in car also, what happens. This is unfortunately showstopper, unless theres a fix i dont see/know yet.

Edit/clarification. My car audio system shows, that call is going etc. But the problem is, that phone call audio does not get routed to/from that bt system.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] davidrol:

Hi,

Did differnts test for the wifi problem.

I've tried 3 differents radios

Switched off KSM and other tweaks

Always the same.

See logcat attached.

I've done 2-3 on off and ariplane mode.

Then second test Catching video doesn't work so I tried here and at the end others tries with wifi. Do I have to post this log elsewhere?

Possible WiFi Fix

In my experience, WifiMonitor is losing touch with wpa_supplicant (sometimes).

When this happens, after a few tries, it intentionally drops the wlan0 interface from the list of interfaces ("forgets it").

As far as I can tell there isn't any way to add it back - so Wifi stops working until a reboot.

WifiMonitor.java line 435 is the place

if (connectTries++ < 5) {
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException ignore) {
}
} else {
[B] mIfaceMap.remove(iface); /* Trouble here */[/B]
m.mWifiStateMachine.sendMessage(SUP_DISCONNECTION_EVENT);
Log.e(TAG, "startMonitoring(" + iface + ") failed, not removing interface MGM!");
break;
}

Commenting out the .remove() call fixes wifi for me (so far), but I suspect it will cause trouble for someone else (must be there for a reason).

Dunno who can comment on this (or an alternative fix).

Big thx [MENTION=4350964]Flinny[/MENTION] !! As usual a brilliant work :)

P.S.: I used the latest CWM-Recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Are you saying that this ROM will only work with the Desire Z bootloader (as opposed to the T-Mobile G2 bootloader) even though it's designed for the HTC Vision?

I'm not seeing that posted anywhere in the OP, anywhere on Flinny's site,etc. so I find that hard to believe.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
Well the HTC vision covers both the desire z and T-Mobile g2 so yes it is designed for the vision but if the system partition is too large for the g2 hboot than use the desire z one as it has a larger system partition.

I'm not saying you have to but the user who had the issue of both ROM and gapps not fitting on his system partition fixed it by using the dz bootloader.

In truth I have yet to flash or even download any of flinny's KitKat builds so I can't attest to the size of this ROM, just sticking with common sense for my reply. Believe what you must, not here to change minds
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] davidrol:
Yes, I remember having to upgrade bootloader specified by an OP of a sense rom. Long ago I upgraded to the Desire Z bootloader required by sense roms. Without the larger system partition, the rom wouldn't install. I'd say that his advice is correct. Say: THANKS.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Berrydroidcafe:
You are correct. I have kept the DZ bootloader for years now.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] a.s.j:
I confirm the BT call issue with no sound... had it before in other roms too, but it was fixed in some latest 4.2.2 roms... perhaps it will be the same drivers related issue. Anything else seems to be working really nice for me, but I am using BT headset as handsfree when driving (and I am travelling a lot), so I can not stick with this awsome rom since it is fixed...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
But this isn't a Sense ROM, and nowhere in Flinny's posts does it state that a DZ hboot is required.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Berrydroidcafe:
So what is your point? It has already been explained why the DZ bootloader is required. The choices are pretty clear.

Sent with my Nexus® 10 minus 3
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
A random person, citing a developer of an unrelated Sense based ROM, is stating that a DZ bootloader is required for a non-Sense ROM developed for the HTC Vision (not the Desire Z, or the G2 for that matter, but the Vision); excuse me if I'd prefer to have Flinny state whether or not a DZ bootloader is required for his ROM rather than accept heresay.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ekre:
your need at least 456mb on /system.

G2 hboot has only 400MB allocated to /system, the DZ hboot has 535MB allocated to /system, thats why you need the DZ bootloader.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flinny:
What he said ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
Thanks, will try it, but today it seems to work on mine

Just inactivate natifications

Put Europe setting

All bands allowed and

Avoid instant connexions

Or it just because in not connected on wifi. It crashes when I'm wifi connected, then airplane. I doesn't show up after that....

And just to be sure : Am I alone for the video recording ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Berrydroidcafe:
[MENTION=4350964]Flinny[/MENTION] I'm sure has a lot on his plate and taking the time to make this for the Vision, so it's not all that surprising that maybe he didn't mention this. For the majority of us, this have been known for YEARS! It's only logical imo. By the way VISION is for BOTH the DZ & G2. Seeing that they are (practically) the same phone, except that for some reason, HTC made the DZ with the bigger system partition.

I dunno, "random" guy chimed in, and I'm not trying to speak for him, but I took it as someone trying to help, but that's just me. I'm also of the thinking that a lot of information is put out on these forums by "random" guy and this is where the vast majority of information comes from. It's almost ludicrous to think that Flinny or any other dev can possibly experience everything and that's where "random" guy(s) come in.

Ok, I'll give it to you, sure, he might want to say that, and he might get around to it, it's up to him. So like I said, the choices are clear. Now can this rom be flashed on the original G2 bootloader, I don't know, not going to downgrade to find out, but logic dictates that the DZ bootloader is the logical choice, sorry if you missed the train on this one.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nevyntanis:
Right well I am so damn confused now, tried to install alpha 3, I get an error about recursive chains or something close to that when trying to flash it. So lets see, g2 bootloader is a no no ( I will trust what demkantor says about that, he has never lead me wrong so far), ext4 an essential? Is that because the rom is too big to fit on the phones partition? I cannot after combing the thread find a reference to the ext4 recovery doodad, I probably missed it, I am not the brightest dude in the world so reading is a challenge most day's. I am using cwm recovery at the moment, so I guess that will have to change then? Am I on the right track here?

Alpha 2 flashed just fine, no problems at all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mgmaz:
Heh, thanks for explicitly explaining this.

Been deleting "extra" apks and files off of roms/gapps to make them fit !

Video recording doesn't work for me too.

I have found some other issues:

HW keyboard works almost well but only with English (HTC Desire Z hw keyboard) layout which is not default. I can type everything except colon, it types comma instead.

Some apps can't be installed (soundhound∞, camera zoom fx, ...) it said "unknown error -24 during instalation"

I have some random reboots (after freeze for some time) when i want to install "greater" amount of apps from play store and after that reboot it said "sim card added - mobile network will be available after reboot", and process android.process.media FCs infinitely. After next normal reboot everything works again.

Since JellyBean builds, camera is slow and when i take a shot with flash it sometimes takes a black or poorly lightened photo. It looks like it has broken "sync" with flash.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ekre:
workaround for "unknown -24 error"

just open up a file browser, navigate to /data/data/com.something.blabla (just look for soundhound / camzoomfx as in your example), delete those directories, then you can install these apps.

to avoid hot reboots (and android.process.media fc's), you may use a swap on /cache. just install turbo boost mod from recovery, try it out. if you like it, just keep it, if not, just uninstall it (reflash with uninstall option)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] davidrol:
The Vision/DZ bootloader can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=799208. The OP suggests to use fastboot to install. However, when you don't have Android SDK installed, Terminal Emulator can be used as well. I can provide you with installation instructions via Terminal Emulator when needed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mgmaz:
For correlation:

No Video recording for me either

Also get HW keyboard comma instead of colon

And the "sim card added" message with media FC's - when this happened I noticed that the SD card had not been correctly mounted(cause or effect?), reboot fixes for me also

Will try to look at some logs in the near future.

Using ext4 has its advantages helping to eliminate lag. Nevergone\ru brought this to my attention. Using 4ext Recovery, a recent backup is converted from ext3 to ext4, then restored. Don't know how its done using CWM. Maybe someone can chime in on this?

I've paired phone with my car without any issues, I can dial and receive calls using car phone controls and even phone app in my DesireZ during call shows that audio is being handled by speakerphone but for some unknown reason it is not (all audio is being handled by phone instead of bt speaker even if icon shows BT headset turned on).

Hello,

Just to share my experience: I've installed the latest 4ext, made a full-wipe and installed the alpha 3. After that I flashed the slim_minimal_gapps package, then converted all my fs to ext4.

I've switched to ART to add fun, but even with it apps take approx 10 sec to launch (I have OC @ 1800).

Run just fine as everyone mentionned, I have these issues so far:

- the Wifi issue (did someone tested this : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49794539&postcount=2130 ?)

- process.media keep FC, make me unable to use google music (it opens and then close after 2 FC of process.media). After a reboot it disappeared. BUT

- google music almost doesn't respond (black screen for several seconds, freezes). After a while, even when finally managed to start music, and I had been able to listen to few songs, and then music cut for some minutes and eventually play back for some minutes and so. Very strange.

EDIT: I had the same problem with other app that took very long time to start (with a black screen). The phone was almost unusuable. I switched back from ART to dalvik, and all the perf issues are gone and the phone is fast again;

Nice work
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] davidrol:
Can confirm your report - experienced the same. Although I haven't tried Google Music. I've used Apollo Music with tremendous success. Somtimes turning wifi off and on will revive it.

I haven't tried ART being that Alpha3 isn't fully debugged and will have many unexpected results.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mgmaz:
Got some feedback from Nevergone on the keyboard -

He wrote that the keys will map correctly if you un-check all of the language layouts for the hardware keyboard such that it uses the default mapping. I changed the English map file on my phone, so I can't confirm that "Default" works - just passing it on.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nevyntanis:
Very nice, amazing how boring it gets looking at cwm recovery after flashing 1000 times or so, so thanks mate, this sorted my issues out pretty easily. I think I prefer this recovery anyway, it's so fancy. Another thanks for the link to the free app, Africa mate Africa, our leaders steal all our money and then buy BB's and Iphones, they are a-holes, really they are.

Microguide: If you get an install error that talks about some wierd and wonderful things but gives you the (status 7) error, use this app or flash an ext4 recovery. I think it was (status 7) anyway, so not really a helpful microguide at all then. I tried and failed, I am ashamed.:eek:
