[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 12vlt:
Yes, I've been using it every day for over a year. I have a minimalist approach though and don't install gapps, at the most I'd recommend just using the minimum gapps with play store if you need it. I optimize settings for speed and try to only use minimal or older modded apps. Bloated apps will be super slow. That means new versions of Facebook, Instagram etc are out of the question. The less apps you have which tend to run in the background the better. I prefer to have no persistently running apps besides system processes (such as messenger or launcher). I often find that closing opened apps via long-press-home menu helps keep things snappy (this does kill the app if it's running still, I've heard some claim that it does nothing, which is false). I use autostarts to restrict which apps can come up on startup. It's a stable rom but wont be as responsive as running an old version or a newer phone. If you don't optimize the settings for speediness it will be slower. I do find that having multiple tabs in the browser can slow the phone to a crawl if the pages are especially bloated, that's my only major frustration.

I chose this phone because of its form factor, and because milaq was building cm11 nightlies for it. Many don't consider that by opting for older roms which may be speedier, they're opting to run a system with massive amounts of known vulnerabilities, which will only be targeted more and more with time.

I'm hoping that milaq releases a December build, or at the least shows up with some information. I noticed that they removed almost all CM builds for all devices on their website, so I have a feeling they may have had some sort of legal trouble, although I wouldn't be sure as to why. If milaq stops releasing builds forever I will have to try and compile an updated build myself. I have some experience in this area but have never compiled my own rom, so it would take some work, but I would be willing to try and take this project over if it's needed. I would be happy to receive help from anyone else who is interested.

Here's an upload of the old October build for now ->

filehosting(dot)org/file/details/622545/cm-11-20160901-NIGHTLY-MLQ-vision.zip

I'm unable to post links because this account is new, so I replaced the "." with "(dot)"

*EDIT*

By the way, the website I uploaded the rom to allows mailinator email addresses. So use a mailinator address if you don't want them to have your real one.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
Thanks to [MENTION=1594835]milaq[/MENTION], a new build is out and can be downloaded !!

https://milaq.net/downloads/vision/cm-11.0/

Will try soon !
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 12vlt:
Thanks [MENTION=1594835]milaq[/MENTION] ! For continuing to breathe life into this device. With Google still patching 4.4.4 (for now), along with LineageOS taking over for CM & integrating 4.4.4 patches into LineageOS 11, and milaq creating LineageOS 11 builds for the Desire Z, this 6 year old phone is still secure and usable. When I get some spare $ I'll be sending a donation your way.

For those who are curious, here's the new upstream changelog location:

Does this work on htcg2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 12vlt:
It does.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] miko12312:
Then why does it not flash it gives error, also other roms , i barely fixed the screen havent used since it first came out , its already rooted and unlocked bootloader and sim unlock but since it was with visionary im thinking the partions are not correct , but im only going with what has been left for us in the forums , i did attempt the gfree and it was sucessful, i do also have a twrp recovery which could also be the problem not having kitkat support , it was running cm7 then flashed.to stock rooted rom with success as this was the only rom flashable after flashing stock recovery
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 12vlt:
Sounds like there's a problem with your phone, and not this rom. Make sure you have the proper recovery installed, CWM >= 6.0.4.5 - see the original post in this thread. I've used this rom on both a G2 and the Desire Z.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kéno40:
I've always use 4Ext recovery on the Desire Z. Never had problems with it. Way better than CWM on this device.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] miko12312:
Ended up being the recovery but rom is really slow way to slow even after delte of systems apps
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] madmachinist:
In case anyone is wondering this ROM is still being updated! I just downloaded and installed the may 2019 nightly and its working great! Thanks Milaq! Just to set expectations correctly don't expect to be doing a lot of gaming or multitasking, but if you want to create a simple messaging device with a physical keyboard this is perfect! I just looked on ebay and you can get a dezire z for ~$12 with free shipping.

Hi everyone!

I've also revived my once USB-bricked HTC Desire Z (European version). Now that the SD-Card seems to work again, I'm looking for the answer, what I've made wrong to break the WiFi-functionality. The broadcom driver is being loaded, it has a MAC adress, but then the wifi power is set to 0. I'm running CWM bootloader 6.0.5.0

While I was trying to get the SD-Card back to working I've flashed some images from different sources including different radio.img. I'm currently running Flinnys unofficial CM 11 Alpha 3 from February 2014 (the only file I could find on the internet).

Which radio.img should I look for to get the wifi back to working?

I would love to restart from scratch with the install of cyanogenmod, but as others already mentioned all those links to the old files are long gone and noone (including me) kept a copy.

Regards

Julia
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustysquito:
I hope you can find those old files to root and install custom roms on this device. I picked one up on ebay for nostalgia's sake, and I'd love to get it at least running FB messenger, you know?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blaze_3ds:
Um how did you flash a custom recovery?

i have a desire z too and i am trying my best to root and add a custom recovery but i cant do it VISIONARY is a dead link and clockworkmod is discontinued. how can i do this?

Thanks,

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WujaWojtek1:
Hello!

Root is described in my previous post (link to Polish language guide + very shortened translation)

About custom recovery - as I said, 4ext has still working hosting.

I downloaded newest available .apk for this android (you must have rooted 2.2) and than the app asked to access root. I accepted that and than chose newest 4ext recovery (in apk). The apk installed custom recovery. Than I turned off phone and turned on with vol- pressed. done - you are in your new custom recovery!

If you already have 2.2 its much easier - you just root with AMT and than install 4ext .apk

If you have 2.3.3 you must downgrade like in the guide

Here is the link for .apk http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk

I know it sounds weird (especially if you already installed other custom recovery before). Usually you have to unlock bootloader and flash recovery from pc. On this phone you install .apk, grant root access and than choose recovery (app installs it). I think its a bit unusual method but works.

Btw - if you would like to try I also found working hosting for android 4.0.4 mimicry for desire Z. I have read, that its the fastest version for desire Z. If you would like to try here is the link:

http://goo.gl/PyhU7

It has same downloader problem as 4.4.4 rom, but seems to be faster. On the other hand you have lower app compatibility. I prefer 4.4.4 to be honest.

btw - if you REALLY need CWM instead of 4ext, I have seen somewhere files and instruction how to flash this recovery from pc, not from android app. But I don't really remember when I have seen that. Maybe you will dig it up in google.

My G2 is 2.3.4. How to Downgrade?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WujaWojtek1:
In my upper post there is a link to guide in polish with my short translation. If you have any troubles use google or ask me if it does not help.

HTC Desire Z – Downgrade + S-OFF + perm ROOT – BLOG SŁONIA :)

blog.sloniupl.eu

install htc sync -> download AMT (disable windows defender, it delete some files and make impossible to end the process) -> run ADB from this folder and copy commands from 5, 6 and 8 point of this guide, -> copy file PC10IMG.zip to sd card, turn on phone with vol- clicked, wait for phone analysing downgrade, accept, wait -> you have 2,2 and root, you can install now custom recovery.

Also remember to do all settings AMT will ask you!

pls read whole post above, i wrote there about problems you can have.

I use framaroot version 1.2.4 , and it gives me this error ""failed :(... try another exploit if available"" and i try all the available exploit and gives me the same error.

aren't there any other way to root my phone?

P.S :framaroot was working but after i flashed a stock ROM again it stopped working giving me the error above.
[Samsung Galaxy Young S6310] razor62:
Use the latest one
[Samsung Galaxy Young S6310] mayank06199:
try using the latest version of Framaroot, if that doesn't work, then try reflashing the stock ROM again with odin and then try to root it... And if it does not work, then I suggest you use a pre rooted custom Rom, like this one( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2700828), although you will have to figure out how to flash this Rom without having CWM installed.......

[Xposed General] AlphaMons:
Just updated to Sense 6 OTA last night when my phone (HTC One Max) notified me of it. Tried to reinstall Xposed but the module will not install. I get the error "Failed to get root access, Mae sure your device is rooted properly and you have not blocked shell commands"Weaksauce will not install to get root access and therefore I cannot install Xposed. I'm not super super super tech and programmer savvy so if anyone knows of any fixes?
[Xposed General] CCody:
You just have to root your device again. No big deal [emoji106] [emoji6]
[Xposed General] AlphaMons:
Well I haven't actually fully rooted my device before. Any time the phone was rebooted or reset the root was turned off (done through weaksauce or Xposed I think). So should I just fully root the device instead of trying to get this working?

My activesync on my siemens sx66 wont synch with my pc anymore. i do not think it is my laptop, but i think there is a problem with the phone. When connected to cradle, it charges the phone and my comp detects new hardware and the upper right light turns orange. But it fails to synch and the activesynch menu on my comp doesnt recognize any device that is hooked to my pc. Used to work fine...i got memmaid, and cleaned my registry....maybe i deleted an activesynch registry file?? Is there an activesynch.cab file available? I have active synch4.2. Any help please!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] hanmin:
Try connect and then start ActiveSync on your phone manually and do a sync manually. If that works, it just means that you have deleted something.. wrong.

Have you tried soft reset your phone? maybe you have closed the activesync at the background?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] shazzy84:

I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm running the at&t one x rooted, s-off, super cid, h-boot 2.14

Thanks in advance
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] yeeeeeahbuddy:
Hi, no need to bother with downgrading your touch panel firmware if you're switching to an AOSP rom from the past year or so.

I know there's a write up suggesting that it is required - and it is ultra confusing - but don't sweat it.
[Sprint LG G3] fergie716:
One of my favorite features on the stock G3 Launcher in the double tap to turn the screen off function. Unfortunately my daily launcher, Nova Launcher Prime, does not come with the double tap to put screen to sleep without a slight modification. I was in touch with the app developer and he recommended a way to get this function to work with Nova.

Download Screen Off and Lock from Google Play

After you installed the app go to Settings>Security>Phone Administrators and turn on Screen Off and Lock

Next go to Nova settings>Gestures and Buttons>Double Tap

In this setting scroll to "Apps" then Screen Off and Lock

Done!
[Sprint LG G3] whoppe862005:
I use Nova Prime as well. I've been able to double tap screen off by double tapping the status bar without having to use a 3rd party app.
[Sprint LG G3] mad1111:
Been trying to figure this out for a while...thanks!
[Sprint LG G3] gothikzoul:
Omg I love you so much. I got it working with TSF Launcher xD. Root just a few days ago and now this. My life is complete. I even got the g3 tweaksbox. Whoop whoop!
[Sprint LG G3] InfiniteReality:
Thanks for this, I've been running Nova since day 1 of owning the G3 and never knew about the double tap to turn screen off for stock launcher.....should have played with it more prior.

This app works some times, some times it doesn't. Sort of random, yet not sure why it doesn't at times.
[Sprint LG G3] Dreddge:
You can also double tap the top of the screen in nova. It will work
[Sprint LG G3] dakoellis:
If you have tasker already you don't need to get a new app for this to work.
[Sprint LG G3] RussellEstridge25:
Greenify works better for this imo. I tried this app and found I already have greenify to keep certain apps asleep so no need for another app and I dont have to tap the status bar. I just set nova double tap as that greenify shortcut and profit.
[Sprint LG G3] Psycario:
Thanks alot for this. I sometimes hide the status bar so this is very useful.
[Sprint LG G3] frozt28:
You'll need Greenify to make this work.

Nova Settings > Gestures and Buttons > Double Tap > Hibernate + Lock Screen

Now you just double tap your screen while on to turn the screen off.
[Sprint LG G3] BonezMontana:
This also works in Apex, and Solo as well. If you are on AOSP, you can also download download Tap Switch for double tap to wake if the kernal supports it. I was playing around on my LGOG and I kept tapping on the screen and realized I wasn't using my G3 lol. I ended up installing Tap Switch and it works great.

[Desire 816 Original Android Development] insanelycool:
Edit: my wiping data issues were due to a faulty phone. The problem progressively got worse, causing weird behavior like the kernel locking at max feq, synapse crashing, and reboots... eventually the problem grew and corrupted my system partition, recovery, and data. I set the phone back and have a new one arriving today. Hopefully this replacement will work properly! Again, it was a faulty phone and not the software.

I have been using 2.8.4.0 on the single sim virgin mobile variant and noticed a couple things... First of all flashing everything works and most things are functional. The issues I found are:

1. data does not seem to wipe properly (I noticed it was a problem after switching roms and some apps would not install from the play store because the folders in data/data never got deleted... some of them did and some didn't, kind of odd)

2. adb sideload isn't working (I did adb push instead)

3. I think MTP isn't working either

Otherwise it seems fine. The pressing issue for me is wiping properly as this can cause issues when installing custom roms. I'm not sure that system is wiping completely either.

Thanks for the support for TWRP, I will test any builds if someone that knows how can fix it in TWRP. For now I think I will go to CWM just to ensure there aren't any issues when I wipe and flash roms.

Yup, same prob. The ADB side-load isnt that big of a prob on this device since it supports a MicroSD though. I also that the VM version, but I believe this affect all devices.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] insanelycool:
Hopefully you weren't also having problems with wiping data like I was because the phone got worse and worse until it bricked. Seriously bricked, couldn't even relock the bootloader, go into recovery, or do anything at all except go straight to the bootloader! The phone must have been faulty in the memory chips so I sent it back and have a replacement coming. Amazon rocks! That's all I can say about that ;) Here's hoping my new one isn't defective too :)

Just to reiterate, my phone was faulty, not the software!
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] seekfind:
I don't know if it has anything to do with TWRP, but every time I reboot my phone to TWRP, even if I don't do any wipes, when I go boot back to system, I lose some personal configurations on some apps. what could be the culprit?
