I was thinking of updating this, but I've lost my G2. I can't blind dev and I ran into enough difficulties as it was when I could test it. Java is just too confusing for me right now, so much more confusing than C which I'm only just starting to get comfy with. Unfortunately the lag is just a problem you'll have to get used to, backup and clean flash and wait a while. I couldn't do anything tobhelp you anyway, I just don't know how. I can give you the age ole tips: no task killers, no placebo scripts, minimal apps, minimal gapps, no hangouts, no Facebook, no heavy browsers (opera mini is great) but yeah I'm really sorry but there won't be any updates. As it is I think the ROM works well anyway. I'm no dev so if you want someone to support then turn to Flinny, Marco, NeverGone, etc. It sucks that my goal to have a stable sorta up to date ROam was dashed but that's life. Thanks to the people who liked the ROM anyway :)

What! What happened to your phone? What are you using now?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
Got nicked :confused: beats me too, it's worth nothing (monetarily speaking). I'm using nothing at the moment, I'll go back to my G1 once I get a new SIM sorted. It's useable, just not a luxury. I don't know about after that, I'm thinking it might be a better investment to buy a better phone e.g. SIII (from a family member) or eBay if I wanna risk it. The G2 just has too little RAM at the end of the day, and it's pure sin to say such a thing on this forum but I don't know if the keyboard is a worthy compromise any more.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hrk:
I don't use the keyboard anymore, if not for the occasional ssh through ConnectBot. Swype beats the hardware keyboard for chats and the like. :(

For a remote shell into a UNIX system, however, the hardware keyboard is a lifesaver. (And yeah, G1's was way better...)

Sorry to know you lost your G2.

When I'm lazy to wake up my phone is close to me for initial ssh troubleshooting. Until new phone with HW KB isn't released I dont have alternative for another device.

Really bad for the G2 but I don't recommend to get Samsung device at all. most of them have backdoor into the modem software
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
Yeah even having to cd into a directory or type numbers is a pain on a soft keyboard, and the touchpad is SO good for moving the cursor and scrolling through terminal command history. I don't know if it was just through years of use, but it had started to feel a bit spongy. The G1 has more of a click. In terms of pure speed, soft swipe keyboards are better.

That's only older devices, although I had considered a few of them. I'm still a bit of a HTC fanboy if I'm honest, they put out products which make you think "I want that". Read this, it may be a non issue anyway but we should still have our reservations. Right now I'm thinking either massive screen phone or importing a droid 4 or relay 4g from the US anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hrk:
I had my eyes on the Photon Q. Motorola has good quality, but fkd up locked bootloaders, unfulfilled promises of updates and changed owners too many times to be reliable. :(

Too sad, really; should I ever abondon mine I'd offer it for whichever dev to use it as a testing platform; currently I'm still using it and most of the time am very happy with it.

Over the last few months I've been playing with various CM11 implementations; having one or the other probs in everyday usage I today tried a step back and installed your ROM. Until now I have to say this appears to be it: fast, stable afaik, and what's more: GPS fixing has never been that quick since months!!

Many thanks for giving us this fine piece of SW!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
Yeah it sucks, but we all need to progress and move on. After using the SIII I'm missing the hw keyboard less than I thought I would. I'm glad everyone likes this ROM in its current state despite the fact that I was planning more interesting features, but after reading the latest comments on Marco's new PureKat ROM it seems KitKat might be a decent option now anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lm089:
I'm testing PK in parallel; indeed looks promising. I'm having problems with GPS, though: with AlterNdromadus GPS fixing is a matter of a few seconds, while in PureKat there's no fixing at all; might have to look at a different radio, maybe.

Talking about radio: after using this ROM here for the day inside and outside of the house all of a sudden WiFi isn't activating any more. Rebooted three times, re-flashed the ROM, but no success. Going into System Settings >> WiFi the screen constantly tells me "activating WiFi"

You wouldn't have an idea what else I could try, would you?

Cheers,

Lothar
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fireball0093:
Just dropping in to say this is probably my favorite ROM out right now for the DZ. Too bad I have a Nexus 4 now and hardly use it, but I still like to mess around on it. Very stable, I might bring back my youtube reviews for the device and have this as one of the ROMs I review ;p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lm089:
I totally agree, apart from Andromadus Mimicry this is by far the fastest and most stable ROM I ever had running on my old DesireZ. Many many thanks to everyone contributing to this! :good:

---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 PM ----------

OK, did a complete re-install of this ROM, and until now WiFi is fine.

two absolutely minor issues I'm observing are with the lock screen:

the Pin pad that is showing up right after rebooting (the one where I have to unlock my SIM) is too small (see screenshot), all the numbers are cut off at the bottom. Is this the same with others as well, or has it maybe to do with some setting I made myself?

the 2nd one is in regards of the lock screen apps: I'm using a separate PIN to secure my phone. So if it is locked I first have to tap the lock symbol to bring up the lock screen app circle. Then I pull the central lock symbol to the right to unlock the phone, which brings up the pin pad to unlock the phone. Only then the phone is usable. What I mean to say is: in my cae the lock screen apps themselves don't make any sense, so i'd like to avoid them at all. But unlike with other ROMs there doesn't seem to be away to get rid of that extra screen. Anyone have an idea how I cuold do that?

UPDATE: at least for #2 there's an oh so simple solution I just found by chance: tap-and-hold on the Frist lock symbol instead of just short-tapping it brings up the pin pad immediately.

All the best

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmpcrx:
hi guys, i dont suppose there is an alternative download link for this rom as im having major problems downloading anything from google drive, i can download 10-20% then the download resets to 0% and then repeats, ending up in an error and a corrupt file.

coincidentally, i also cannot access google play due to connection timeouts (i have tried everyting to fix this including all the hosts file stuff etc.), and am assuming it is something to do with this. (and aslo google talk authentication failed messege also.)

this started happening a while ago so i flashed an old miui backup, and still the same problem, so i thought id try this rom, but even this im unable to download! im getting pretty pi**ed off tbh with this problem.

thanks..

james.

You should download roms from a computer.

i did. via my mobile connection as i dont have landline wifi. and if the md5 checks out then all should be fine..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
Doesn't make a difference as long as the MD5 hash checks out. If it's the same, it's the same!

how to make transparent top bar on this rom?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HeaT420:
Been trying out your ROM for a few days and instantly feel in love with it after moving from my current DD ILWT CM7, this might become my new DD. One issue I have is the screen won't rotate in browser or launcher at all and it gets it stuck sideways from the YouTube app. Any ideas to fix?

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
My screen rotate in the browser.

On the launcher, it depends of the launcher I think (Have you tried Nova Launcher?).

I don't understand your question about youtube app...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HeaT420:
When I open a video in full screen, the video rotates like it should but when I exit full screen, the screen stays sideways and won't auto rotate back
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
I often have an issue after a full screen video on browser (Vimeo for example).

Black screen, and browser chrashes....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HeaT420:
What launcher and music player do you guys recommend?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
Might as well answer this being as no development discussion is possible anymore: I always used Nova Launcher and Apollo. I did lots of experimentation and these were the lightest I could find without sacrificing features.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HeaT420:
Yeah, those are the 2 I'm running right now. Are there any tweaks or tips to speed up or help the battery life? (V6 supercharger, etc.)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lm089:
As launch I'm using Smart Launcher 2 as nova in my opinion got way too heavy over the time, and with a device limited in resources as ours every bit counts.

As media player I purchesed PowerAmp years ago and never regretted it. Apollo is quite nice, too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slayer3032:
Just updated my bedroom music player G2, was running one of NeverGone's builds from forever ago and it aged very badly and had a non-nandroidable data partition. Although that could be due to a dying nand, I retired the phone from daily use a year ago shortly before I noticed that.

Wow. I honestly can't believe how much faster this is with a fresh install with bare minimal gapps, and Launcher2 compared to my previous untouched daily setup but with no sim card, location disabled, push disabled and Apex. It's honestly 4x faster, I'm very happy to see new life to my device that served me very well for over 3 years and now runs my bedroom. The reason I got a new phone was because this one was letting me down trying to run recent google apps like maps and hangouts being near impossible to use in a timely matter. Recently it's been letting me down just trying to switch between Pandora and other music apps. Now it near seamlessly switches and the keyboard is now usable again without pressing keys multiple times.

This is the rom which I wished existed years ago, it's a shame it got so close to being stable but never really got there while the device was much more relevant. Thanks a ton, my G2 can finally go back to rest in it's OEM dock. I really should have snapped a screenshot of my 6 month uptime, maybe if I get a chance I'll post some crazy uptimes or week long standby times since it doesn't have a sim.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HeaT420:
Can you Odex and supercharge this ROM? If so, what order?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
Hi [MENTION=4693882]HTCDreamOn[/MENTION]

I was just thinking : is there new changes since march on the 4.2.2 base?

Compiling kernel's source could be good or unusefull?

Thanks for your answer !
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
I'm afraid there's been no updates from CyanogenMod that I know of since last year, nor have the Andromadus team updated the kernel at all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bradley_e_smith:
Sending Calls to Voice Mail (Google Voice)

Just noticed (came back to this ROM) that if I send a call to voice mail (ie slide the button to the red phone) that my phone starts ringing again from the same person.

Anyone else see this or maybe my install is bad.

Hi,

Could someone give a "download" link for this Rom? [MENTION=4693882]HTCDreamOn[/MENTION] is "download" deleted from OP on purpose, if not can I have a link for your Rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jhawkins002:
There are new links (tabs) at the very top of the OP - one of which is labelled "Downloads" ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] itachi1:
This confused me and NoScript quite a bit before I realized that the link bar does not appear when using the XDA Classic or XDA 2010 theme. I found it after choosing XDA 2013 or later.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ode_:
Lol, needed to surf via browser, not visible with tapatalk. :)

Torrent, and again need desktop for that.. or is there some good µtorrent client for Android?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Firestone_cz:
Thanks alot for this ROM! I tried some KitKat, but I'm return to this 10.1 because KitKat is veeery slow and lazy for me :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
Thank you very much for the kind donation from [MENTION=4236155]thohoff[/MENTION] even though I'm not developing this anymore, evidently people are still enjoying it as it stands :o it's given me some motivation to think about a new Desire Z project in fact as my lost one turned up out of the blue a while ago. I'm not sure I have the computing power to make any KitKat ROMs or even begin to try Lollipop unfortunately, and I don't know how keen people are on custom kernels. I'm quite happy with the ones I've released already to be honest. Any suggestions if anyone's still around these parts?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] &Delinquent[$]:
There's not much point, there's such an overhead on KitKat that even with the supercharger script, it's painfully slow as a daily driver. It does look nice, however, so you might get a better response if you do another 4.2 rom with the kitkat theme stuff - see here: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/complete-the-kitkat-look-on-your-jelly-bean-rom/

Also, speaking of the rom, I'm trying to get back to it. XDA returns a 410 status when I try and download the zip, have you still got it? I did find a copy on a shady chinese website, but I'm skeptical about installing it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
With the wealth of theme chooser themes out there, plus the fact I'm not an experienced themer, I don't think it'd be worth theming a whole ROM.

Yeah don't download from shady chinese sites :silly: the downloads still working for me so I'll upload it elsewhere when I get the chance, you have permission to nag me via PM if I haven't done so within a week as I'll probably forget
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Firestone_cz:
This ROM is great! I'm running on it for more than month and seems to it's better for me instead of KK because of performance.... or maybe I can't handle right KK's configuration.

Anyway I have observe two problems.

First of all sometimes I've got freezed applications screen (no way how to go to the home screen I have to reboot phone). I can view recent apps screen, but can't go to home screen.

Second problem is that sometimes phone reboot randomly -- approximately about two times for a week I think.

I try to reinstall ROM (before that wiping everything except SD card) for a sure but without successfully effect.

I will appreciated it if anybody could post any info what I can try to change :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jignesh2594:
Great rom!

[MENTION=4693882]HTCDreamOn[/MENTION]

it is a great rom! :good:

one thing i found is that compare to other rom 4.X i can play HD videos in it!

thank you!

But..wait..

please avoid battery draining!:crying:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] &Delinquent[$]:
This is normal. Our phones have a very strange memory design built for redundancy, quite simply we have an extra silicon layer, which in theory gives us double the memory. However, it is built in the silicon equivalent of a series circuit, which means that we cannot use it as additional memory. The reboots that you are seeing are because one of your address spaces is not correctly reflecting the "bottom layer" of silicon, although the memory controller will still correctly reference that area of memory. When your root session gets to a certain size, it will automatically reboot, since root integrity must always be maintained under the android architecture.

In laymans terms, your phone is getting confused. It's normal, and a side effect of running a rom other than the original HTC rom.

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

Perhaps not. You mention a lack of computing power, I might be able to help with that. I have a very nice emulator on my machine that will adequately reflect the performance of a Z, you're welcome to ask me to test your projects out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
Never realised this.... I wondered why it was suddenly rebooting so much, as I hadn't used it for months. Figured it was a hardware problem. Are you trying to say that we have 1GB of physical RAM on our Desire Z board though :silly: ??

I was talking more about power to build ROMs.... I can't build KitKat unless I use prebuilt libwebcore due to lack of memory and bearing in mind Android source gets bigger and bigger with every revision I don't think I have enough space left on my hard drive to sync and compile KitKat or lollipop and still have enough space for other stuff (cos I do use Linux for things other than Android development :cool: ). Core 2 Duo isn't fastest at building ROMs either lol. I can't afford to upgrade anything at the moment either so ROMs are pretty much a no go.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] &Delinquent[$]:
Kind of. Think of it like two lightbulbs. If you wire up two lightbulbs in series, and place a switch between the first bulb and a power source, the switch will affect both lights in exactly the same way. Additionally (and this is the reason for the design), if the first bulb breaks, the second can still light up. So yeah, we kinda have 1Gb, but we can't really use it.

Tell you what, if you need something compiled, I can do it on my machine. I run an 8 core xeon, I could conquer the world with this thing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
I kinda see :p .

Thanks, it'd be a neat idea but I'm not experienced enough to blind develop really. Besides I don't see any point doing anything with this phone other than trying to get L running just for kicks but it's too advanced a project for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fireball0093:
Man I wish I still had this phone in my possession because I'd try and get some sort of Lollipop thing going just for the heck of it because why not, but alas I do not anymore. Been a fun run though, gonna miss the thing until my mum wants a new phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] apuntigam:
I would love to see L on this handset! But unfortunately I don't have the resources or skills to build it... all I can offer is assistance with testing :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fireball0093:
It would be quite the task, ART is very, very finicky on this device. I ran it for a little bit on a KitKat rom but after about an hour or two's use with it running I had to switch back to Dalvik. If my mum upgrades in the future to the Nexus 4 I have laying around I might set up a build and tinker with it, but I dunno when that would be. If it wasn't for ART then Lollipop would probably run very well. If only they had a Dalvik option .-.
