Another thing is that I'm running not 25b4, but rom by NeverGone, it's available here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44909931&postcount=1682 Not sure if it's any better than 25b4, I installed it to test if flash works any better (it doesn't, at least not for me), and kevp it since then.

Resolved: Phone drops calls when picture is taken using camera app

Ok, HBOOT-0.84.2000 is for the Desire Z. I have a T-Mobile G2 so the version I have is correct. Thank you for posting the radio version.

I downgraded to version 26.10.51.26 (appears to be a downgrade based on the versioning number scheme) found here:http://d-h.st/7W6. The thread can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=35000237

I did notice after flashing this radio, constant Edge/GPRS/UTMS/HSDPA bouncing around stopped.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] robuser007:
I found a bug: battery isn't correct, can't even reboot my phone at 8%
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rayjack10:
That's as in you now have a stable Edge/GPRS/UTMS/HSDPA network?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rkrenzis:
More stable 3G/4G

Mainly, It stays on UTMS or HSDPA now without excessive switching between and I no longer have the issue with phone dropping an active call when taking a picture with the camera.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shak3800:
Maybe use battery callibrator?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rayjack10:
If you are seriously having battery drain you try out this app (PowerMax). I've using it for two days now and it's really helping my phone it no longer heat up n battery drain dropped.you can Get it from playstore

Hi..

What is the ETA on a stable build 25?? I'm on build 21 now and experiencing problems with WiFi disconnecting when the screen sleeps irrespective of any settings I use.. want to upgrade to build 25 but if there is a while for it to go stable I move to b22 for now..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shak3800:
B22 is very stable for me , i don't have any issues with regular usage. I think it will take some time for that build to be stable

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shak3800:
I have tried it and it is faster , I get about 50mb more free ram than with flinnys. No battery issues so far everything works fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
Somehow I broke a microphone in my Desire Z.

That seems to be a hardware thing, because I was unable to fix it with any ROM/kernel flashes or whatever...

So I had to buy a new phone. Now I'll be using Sony Xperia ZL as a primary device.

Anyway, I'll keep Desire Z as a "development" device. Who knows if one day we'll get Android Kitkat running on it?

I didn't remove build environment yet, so eventually I'll make another build for you. Again, feel free to ask about them via PM.

Thanks everyone! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shak3800:
Thanks for sticking around :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HuKuToC34:
Hi guys. I really need your help and assistance.

Is there any way to use russian hardware keyboard with this ROM?

I can't find the answer...:confused:

Thx!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shak3800:
It needs someone to release a flashable zip to support it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HuKuToC34:
As i know, there was the only one way - using 2 apps: KM Launcher and ruKeyboard.

The 2nd app has correct bindings, but i don't know how to integrate them to system without using app :eek:

btw this app missing 1 letter.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] frippi:
What do you mean? Isn't is supported out of the box on this rom? At least I have it working properly and I don't have KM launcher or russian keyboard installed. To make it clear, if I go to Settings\Language & input there is a separate section for Physical keyboard. Right on top of that section I have "vision-keyboard-rus" and if I click that I can select several layouts I want to use - I have russian and english selected. When I use physical keyboard I can normally switch between these layouts using Lang button.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mosi110:
you mean in this ROM you can select any language and use it with physical keyboard? I am looking for Persian in Physical keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] frippi:
Well, there is a choice, but no Persian, sorry. Maybe there is a way to add a layout there - I'm not sure.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] robuser007:
How can I see what is causing the high battery drain ? I installed the suggested app, but don't know how to use it.

A new build without the drain would be great, your rom is a lot faster (but I can't charge the phone in my firm-car).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
If you post a photo of your devices' keyboard and give me the unicode numbers for symbols you need — I'll add Persian language support to the ROM.

Post your screenshot of Wakelock detector (this shouldn't be a problem), we'll try to help you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rayjack10:
What seems to be wrong here?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HuKuToC34:
Ok, thx!

Then, do you know the way to write russian letter "х"?

It looks to be written by double tap on english "O" or russian "щ", but this doesn't work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] frippi:
Fn+shift+o. I guess it's easier to implement then double taps, still quite comfortable.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
Something inside Android Alarm Manager, definitely a 3rd-party app.

By the way, I was referring to this app (didn't realize there could be a lot of them). Look through "Wakeup triggers", it should show you the app that causes the device to be awake.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
By the way, "steroids" used in my builds are now merged into CM repositories.

So, if [MENTION=4350964]Flinny[/MENTION] will do a build again, it should be as fast as mine :)

BTW, is there a progress with 4.3? I gave up on EGL stuff, what about smarter guys? ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bradley_e_smith:
Congrats on the merge, once a new build comes out it will be easier to figure out which one to use.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] robuser007:
Great news !
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slayer3032:
I'd really like to see four.three, I'm looking forward highly to LightFlow having access to notifications which aren't brutally broken and buggy. However with KitKat around the corner dunno if it'd be really worth it.

Does anyone know what the issue with not being able to press the number keys on XDA is under the stock browser? It always opens the help page.. Is this just XDA or?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mosi110:

hope be helpful for you. Sorry to replay you late. If you need more info please let me know.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
That's a generic English keyboard.

The reason why I was asking this is because I also need to know how exactly should I map symbols to the keys :)

Don't know how Android 4.2 will handle RTL (more thorough support for RTL was added in 4.3), I'll post back if I come up with something.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
Out of curiousity, why would you want to use Light Flow? CyanogenMod already has LED settings built-in. Does Light Flow do something else I don't know about?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slayer3032:
I don't think it even works with the orange LED. Light Flow is far more intuitive and has far more options like repeating notification alerts, notification priority and doesn''t decide that an email notification which is set to not blink at all overrides the full spaz sms lights. Everything but the stock ROM has always messed up the notification lights and CM7 only used the green LED. I started using Light Flow shortly after I rooted my phone a couple years ago and have just kept using it. AFAIK 4.3 finally gives apps proper access to notifications from what I've seen of using it on the Nexus 4, the G2's notifications are a total mess and IMO just broken.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
[MENTION=4813558]mosi110[/MENTION]: I found some photos of "vision-keypad-ara" which seem to correspond with your language.

However, before I start actually building the layout, what's this button used for?

It's located in the lower right corner, just above Shift key. (here's the full keyboard photo)

Is is a "language switch" button? (or do you use "default" English keypad?)

I wouldn't enable this function if it was broken. But honestly, I didn't need to adjust "repeating alerts" or whatever.

I'd be grateful, though, if you give me a scenario when the LED doesn't work properly.

wifi issue

i have just come across a wifi problem which has only started recently i have flashed all the flinny roms from the earlier build.all of a sudden the wifi does not work. i am on the current rom and i have tried all the google searches. the wifi toggle is shaded grey and you cannot turn it on. i have tried pressing wifi on the notification drawer but still no joy. i have tried dalvik cache wipe , fix permissions etc. i have tried wifix manager.

still no joy

anyone able to find a fix?

---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------

to describe the problem a lil better , when u go to setting and go to wifi toggle. it is shaded grey and u cannot switch it on..when u click wifi the screen says turning wifi on.and stays on there. it has magically turned on once or twice for a while then agaian it goes off.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slayer3032:
It's hard to really say, I've been using it for so long that I can hardly remember. Specifically though when it was on the charger or the battery was low both of these notifications would override text or email notifications and thus would no longer spaz the notification lights. I also had things like the email notification set to not notify and if my phone had an outstanding SMS notification it would stop the notification lights as the last notification would take priority. My phone also wouldn't display anything but green. I was incredibly used to the stock rom's specific use notification lights like red blinking for missed calls or whatever they were since I can't actually remember specifics of them since that was over 2 years ago.

Basically, my phone would mess up notifications and I could sit at my desk and never know I got a text unless I opened it. It was a total pain and they only seemed to work very rarely, they would completely stop working due to clearing notifications instead of reading them, ect.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
That was a very long time ago. It's fixed now :)

I didn't encounter any of these issues, and was able to use three colors for notification LED: red, green, and some kind of orange (both LEDs were lit simultaneously, giving this color)

Oh, and by the way. CM10.1.3 with CMAccount coming up tomorrow :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slayer3032:
Ah, good to hear! It was pretty miserable without notifications working. Can't wait for the new builds, CMAccount seems pretty cool.

Where's the new radio to be used? I'm on .19 on T- Mobile in the US... any reason to change?

Thanks,

p-d

---------- Post added at 09:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 AM ----------

Found the answer myself in Joemm's [RADIO] thread... This radio is seemingly useful in Europe for those with 3g stability issues... no reports on use or need to use on T-Mo in the U.S.

p-d
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] la.ouiche:
Thanks for all the new Radio info, I'm on .19 in France and have a lott of trouble getting 3G data, I thought it was due to my operator Free mobile, but it may the sum of 2 issues that make me almost never be able to download anything. I'm trying the new .26 radio !
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vauvenal7:
Couldn't resist moving back to this ROM xD

So, found the sms popup thing (silly me -.-)

Also the keyboard is somehow like the 4.1...so that point is also done

Only one left is the flashlight, still not pre installed and not enable on the notification drawer (although i extracted the torch.apk from 4.1 and installed it here, works fine, but still not in the notification drawer)

So far: like the ROM very much and well, let's see what comes when i got it for longer than some hours

I like this ROM very much but lately it has been lagging to the point that it reboot itself , all I was using was SMS app and Bluetooth headset.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarkyG82:
I have noticed that all ics and jb roms lag a bit after a while even when only using basic apps. This rom must have a good sleep feature as I have it set it to 700mhz min and it used 2% battery while sat in my room all day (I'm not allowed my phone at work). But the high minimum cpu means it is a lot faster in general.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] drinian-n:
That doesn't work, as the entry is greyed out and not selectable.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vauvenal7:
Yep mine too

Also, anybody a clue why this "invalid CM101" message comes? Had the theory that it only appears when sending a sms, which got crashed when the message also came as i did nothing, or just now before i opened xda-app. And what does it mean anyway? Cus i yet had nothing i couldnt use (except the flaslight)

Had also one reboot today after fooling round on the lockscreen

Except that, the ROM works great :D

Thanks for all the work you did flinny

This occur whenever ram is critically low. I use ram booster to free up wasted ram. Multitasking to a minimum.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Isham.padron:
Great Rom. Only issue I have is with the lag while exiting applications. i'm running this phone at 1.6ghz and it should be flying. Not sure if its a kernel issue. Bluetooth audio in my aftermarket Kenwood radio only works for audio output but no phone calling and receiving features.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tiger2wander:
@lsham.padron: I think it is memory limitation, not CPU or kernel related issues ;)

You should lock with At most 2 background process and it will much smoother and faster.

By the way, Build 4 is very good, much smoother & faster than Build 3. It is very handy to have quick setting panel customizable. Camera seen get fast focus. Not tried with Bluetooth yet.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] scanno:
Hi,

Anyone else still having problems with BT in build 4??. I just cannot get my bt carkit to connect. My desirez asks for the pincode but no connection is made. The carkit is in the paired devices list.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Isham.padron:
I have set the background processes to at most 2. I hear all this talk that android handles memory well but it has never been the case since ive owned the G2, I don't know about a modern super smartphone with gigs or ram... With all the memory optimization stuff I have checked in the development settings why isn't it making much of a difference?

What kind of settings do you have set as far as processor speed and memory settings plus i/o to make this phone fast and stable?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] davidrol:
Also, Disable HW overlays, use GPU and Don't keep activities are also included tweeks.

Android has problems managing memory when the ole' G2 and more ram demanding new software is installed. Jelly Bean isn't developed for the G2... we are dealing with a port. Setting background processes to at most 2 helps a great deal, but not enough. Background processes, syncs... h•ll the Play Store alone uses 15.5MB in the background. Whenever it is killed, it starts itself within seconds. This is one of many seldom used background processes and to periodically kill them will allow more ram for foreground processes. I've installed Advanced Task Manager to aggressively kill unused processes every minute and keep ram well above 100MB. Hence, I don't run short of ram since installing, avoiding slowdowns and freezes.

This is a test. This is only a test.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pantherx12:
I find disable hw overlays doesn't affect performance. Seems to just switch off project butter. ( not certain though but the option only seems to affect home screen transitions and scrolling correct me if I'm wrong. )
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] davidrol:
I ditto that comment. Performance comes from the cpu. Years ago, the G2 was first gen with a dedicated GPU to offload the CPU for graphics. Turn on GPU overlay and visually see what it does. This a future where all of the highend get a GPU. This was G2's standout feature.

Do we have to flash 4.3 Gapps?

Full wipe?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
Nope, it's still 4.2.2.

No wipe needed.

It's really running VERY VERY SMOOTHLY! Cool

25b4 started to be laggy on my pone!

I reverted to 7.2 due to this being my daily device and suffering from serious lack of RAM... did you find out the issue with KSM not working? :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Killer1desireZ:
The new version is running very smooth, the only problem i found is distortion and cracking in all sounds using the speakers (ringtones, video, calls, ...) even on low volumes.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] la.ouiche:
I'm also testing the new build, thanks to NeverGone\RU (!), I was still under b24 until now.

All seems very smooth and working. I've not been able to test it fully, but at the moment the only issue is with the torch that doesn't work in Max mode (it only light up for 1 sec and then black out). The torch still works in normal mode so it's not a big issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
Nope, KSM is still broken. I have no idea why :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] robuser007:
Battery drain: sometimes the value (%) drops very fast and someties it stays at the same for a long period.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ilgeor:
True: the only problem noticed is the full-power torch tuning off after a second

And for me, there is a problem in battery percentage.

Firstly, it tends to drop quiet fast to 3% and after that remains for a long time (even if using heavily). I've wiped stats, still....

Secondly, the percentage of batery left is differnt in 4ext recovery O_O
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
I have this same problem on Mimicry 1.5 and this is the first I've seen anyone else having this problem.

In addition to dropping really fast and then hanging at 3% for a long time, the device will only charge to around 85% unless I charge it with the device powered off.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] la.ouiche:
Second day using this rom and it's still awesome, thanks again Nevergone. The best I've experienced so far on my phone. (Still the torch that doesn't stand max)

The phone is so responsive, and it fixed my problem with calls I had (after 3-4 min the sound was syncoped and impossible to speak normally). I had a phone call that lasted 22 minutes and I heard perfectly during all this time (and it's in the same location I'm always). So glad to be able to use the phone normally.

And also battery life seems pretty good to me, I have around 28% left now, the phone is up since yesterday afternoon, I used it 1h30, with wifi/3G on all time. See the screenshots :

Again a lot better than on my previous b24, I didn't even did a full wipe before install (just cache and dalvik)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] la.ouiche:
I had a pm from alfredkayser that found how to workaround the Max torch issue : Activate both Strobe and Max.

But this only works whithin the torch app, not from the quicksettings shortcut (from where Strobe seems to be ignore).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
Looks like this commit is causing the problem.

Our kernel has a "protection feature" that disables flash LED if it's running at 255 brightness level for more than a second.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slayer3032:
I'm loving this latest update, my phone has been the quickest and smoothest it's ever been since I took it out of the box. Hilariously it's often smoother than my GF's Galaxy SFour(still can't use most number keys on XDA). I've found that it will even have more free ram than a the stock Touchwiz rom. Unless this Nexus 5 ends up being less than $350, I'd probably just pick up another G2 for one hundred dollars and rock the G2 and hold out for a Motorolla phone with a keyboard.

However, when I use the CM sms quick reply my messages get stuck in forever sending until I restart or delete them. Other than the keyboard issue with numbers on XDA I can't find any sort of bug or issue on my end!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shak3800:
