Acutally, if your getting that message while flashing, sounds like your using an old version. Make sure your using the one in op and not an old one, or random stuff in my 4shared acct.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fastludeh22:
Well to get technical, if you are s-off and have cwm recovery installed but didn't install root for whatever reason (su and superuser.apk), then and only then, flashing this rom will "give" you root...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mikey:
Highly not recommended though to have root without at least Superuser

Any word on the conversation we had in PM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MetalMessiah78:
I don't know if it's just me, but the de-odexed version boots wicked fast, at least a lot faster than the stock odexed version. Thanks so much for putting this up for us. It's always nice to have a good base rom to fall back to, especially when we start getting too sick with the customizations and hacks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fastludeh22:
I concur. What I was really getting at, is I know some people used visionary and it got them s-off but the perm root part messed up and rage won't work. But flashing this will, and will have su and superuser.apk included.

Trying man, work and holiday week been crazy. Look for it in the next few days. Also prob gonna start a custom one based off of it.

I’m having a problem. The Trackpad light doesn’t light up when the phone receives notifications. Instead, the LED under speaker piece stayed green.

The same thing happens on Villsion Rom by Villian. However, with CM6.1 rc3 it works just fine. :confused:

Any help?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BobbyHill:
Ugh I am going nuts here.

Right now I'm just running the stock OTA rom (rooted). All I want to do is be able to chance the notification bar to black. To do that, I need to install Metamorph, and to do that, I need the deodexed rom.

Sounds easy enough, but I don't want to lose trackpad lighting, wifi, or anything like that. Darn this phone :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Hey, no... you have come to the right place. You won't lose anything. Flash this rom, then bacon bits, then go to the themes section and find the theme for deodexed rom by g1junky. Download the two files at the bottom of the first post. Abd push those two files while in recovery mode (make sure you mount /system via clockwork menu) and you're done!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Flash Bacon bits...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] g1junky:
For those wanting black notification bar

if you want only a black notification bar go here and follow the instructions at the bottom of the first post entitled Black Bar
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BobbyHill:
Thanks, that's perfect!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fastludeh22:
new version up. plus theme template for theme dev's.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] g1junky:
Thanks for the update I'm gonna definitely flash this later

I hope this fixes the missing tether options when we apply themes! that's been driving me nuts!

So is the ram usage really low now?? Close to original because with first version release, usage were around 200 something, cyanogen and stock brand new phone were or are at 134

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fastludeh22:
which version of this are you using? this rom is 99% stock, nothing removed and just very little added to it as stated. its for people that want a stock experience, fully stable, with root functionality. it should use about the same as stock. zip aligning should help, but not make a major difference. i honestly haven't checked my ram usage. i have a lot of apps right now, and it still runs great, so haven't even thought to look.

what will help big time to save ram usage is to go in and delete all the bloatware from the /system/app folder before you flash (or after, through term emu or root explorer if you prefer). i leave this up to each individual since we all have a different idea of what's bloatware, and this is stock, not a custom rom...

cm is a whole different beast. it has less bloatware, and is highly optimized and should use less ram then this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fastludeh22:
Also just wondering what your using to come up with those numbers? That way we can do an accurate phone to phone comparison.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noodles2224:
Well I used the running services in application and settings and ramdroid from market. Just a thought though, any way of making this use less system mb.. I thhink I missed read because I keep flashing between but no sense roms but using cachemate, cyan shows using 130-47 and these stock ones use 200? Even with all bloatwares removed and stuff and minimal apps.. just makes me feel better seeing less although it runs fine :P and would like your stock because it doesn't have that "sim card issue" everytime rebooting phone number don't show up in about phone and voicemail has to be enter too

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fastludeh22:
Well what really concerned me is the way I read your first post as saying this uses more ram then the way phone was shipped. It def should not be more, should be slightly less stock and better for each app removed. I agree less used is better even when running good though.

Some of cm optimaztion is done in the apps themselves. You can try replacing apps one at a time from cm and see which ones work and if it helps. Start with simple apps, like mms.apk. then report back here and let us know what works and what doesn't.

I was gonna make a custom rom with my deodex as a base, but after eno's "the offical" rom I didn't think there would still be a need or want for it...

Curious; Pershoot generally says his ROM won't work with stock (I, myself have had issues with it on stock, generally with it showing my MAC address as 00:00:00: ...), has anyone had any issues running it, or should I stick with Baconbits?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Anyone ever send you the checksum on this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Quick update as I've been playing with this ROM this evening.

First off, mad props! It boots in record time and is quite snappy ... battery wise, I won't know until tomorrow.

But, the MAC address issue is present with Pershoot's kernel so I've reverted back to Baconbits. Anyone have any better luck with speed/battery life with any other kernel?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
I seem to be talking to myself here but, the first night this ROM was super fast, the next day I had some serious lag ... eg. when backing out of the browser it normally gets "small" really fast, but with this ROM it went so slow that it'd hang at about 1/3 size; any ideas? I've since reverted to stock as I got sick of waiting for programs to close.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GSO:
In settings you can find 'animation. Here you can adjust the animation effect. I set it to 'some animations' and face no issues with lag what so ever. Hope this helps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Did you notice any lag prior to that change?

Thing is, it ran super fast, with no lag, when I first loaded it; the next day it slowed to a crawl.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Sorry if this question has been asked and answered elsewhere but, since the apps have been deODEXed and zip alligned, what actually happens when one updates an app from the market? Are they still deODEXed and zip alligned?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noodles2224:
They are not deodex after an update from market..

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] collins521:
So which version is the stock rom with the stock kernal?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ianmcquinn:
The OP states that the stock OTA kernel is included in the ROM (also includes a link to the stock kernel itself if you needed that only). You just have to choose whether or not you want an ODEX or DE-ODEX version of the ROM. As the OP states, the ODEX version is what is stock on the phone normally. The DE-ODEX version gives you the flexibility of doing things like modding your framework-res.apk for theming and such.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] collins521:
Thanks for clearing it up, I re-read the OP a few times and was confused on the ODEX/DE-ODEX so I wasn't exactly sure what all was what lol

No, these are pure stock Android Froyo 2.2, not built off HTC Sense. I'm running the deodexed version right now, as I've been unhappy with CM7 and had some issues with HTC Sense based ROMs on my G2. I love this ROM, as it runs fast when you OC it just a little bit and everything works.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] derricks2:
Ok here is my situation.

I had rooted my G2 and SU worked fine fora while. Now it will not give permissions. When I open the program its just a black screen. The program runs but when I open a new program that requires root access the box to allow SU permissions never pops up. I tried everything(clear cache, factory reset, reinstall program, use ADB etc...) nothing works. Nothing can gain SU permissions, not even ADB. I cannot uninstall the program because is RO and I need SU to remove.

Basically I have been told the old way to fix and get my access back is to flash the stock rom. Assuming that this will do that, I would gain root access again correct?? At this point my phone IS rooted, technically, but SU permissions doesnt work so it's as if its not rooted because I cannot use root required apps.

Should I use the method in the OP and flash the stock room? Will that give me a new SU installation or use the old one thats installed now(because it stays installed even after a factory reset).

Just curious. Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
Yes, the quick keys all work just fine for me with the deodexed version. I almost wish I could completely disable them, because I don't use them. Or, give me more options than what they present to you, as I'd love to have an option to just create an email using Gmail (it's not there).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
What happens when you launch Terminal and type the following:

su

Does it come back to you with asking if you want to use Super Access permissions? Does it bring you to the '#' prompt?

Does Superuser still work for you, and does it show all the apps that require permission to use root access? I wonder if that app got messed up somehow, or if it shows particular apps at not being allowed root access.

FYI everyone, Netflix DOES work on this. (odex version)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
It works on the deodexed version as well, but I'd say it's far from being a true stable release. Does the "Netflix" logo pulsate on the top of the screen for anyone else? It's not too noticeable, but if you look at it close enough you can see it doing that ever so slightly.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wilnotdie:
If I'm not mistaken, that was an added feature from the OTA update. It should be working. Maybe try fix permissions?

Does it work with another mms app, like Handcent?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wilnotdie:
That is weird. Its like your binaries are no longer there. Try installing super user elite, than use it to update your binary and SU beta.

Or try from Titanium, click the problems button, than follow the prompts.

Other than that, might be able to reflash the same rom, on top of itself...or do a fresh install with superwipe.

Maybe someone can make an update.zip with the new binaries and superuser app.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arsonist63086:
man thanx for the response but it was a error on my part. sin on my other android phone I had just by holding the image the options would pop out but in this case I have to hold the sender info/message for the options to pop up. it took me a hole reflash to figure that out .lol. but I did a nand backup before so just restored the nand .lol. thanx though
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wilnotdie:
Lol nice. I was hoping it wasn't that, but atleast you figured it out. I haven't used the stock messaging app in a while, so I somewhat forgot about that little flaw. Handcent brings up the same options, weather you long press the img or msg.

glad you got it!

if i remember correctly... this is a 2.2 rom so you need 3.0 cwm recovery
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] frazelle09:
sino8r , thanks very much. i was wondering if anyone was going to be able to help.

If by "2.2" you mean the ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0, this is what i have. i have trouble getting it to boot into Recovery but have figured out that if i hold the On/Off button down for a count of 5, it usually goes to the Recovery screen. The ROM "seems" to do the Wipe date/factory reset; wipe cache partition, power off, Fix permission, and several other alright, but i can't seem to get it to reinstall the CM 7.0.3 nor any other ROM, like the odex, which was suggested.

i have noticed that others have had problems with this version of the CWM Recovery. Can i install (drop back to) the 3.0 if i can't get this thing to boot? If so, what steps should i take once i have the ROM?

Thanks again and have a great evening! :)

Edit > i found this page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893248 . i can place it on my SD card using the 5.0.2.0 ROM i have now and then use the command

Well, i'll try. It seems a little strange, replacing a newer ROM while it's being used, with a previous version...

Okay, for 2.2 (aka froyo/ This rom) you need clockwork recovery 3.0.2.6. For gingerbread (aka 2.3/CM7) you need clockwork 5.0 or above. You can easily flash back in forth using clockwork app... or try 4EXT recovery. I'm not sure if it supports 2.2 but it has way more features. Terminal emulator works fine too but you have to flash it before flashing the actual rom. That sounds like the problem. Let me know how it goes and hit the thanks button on the way out ;) Also a wipe is required when going back and forth between froyo and gingerbread...

Has anyone had any experience with these protectors?

My T-Mo screen protector is toast, after I accidentally dropped my keys in my phone hand, while getting out of the car. Big, annoying dent in the surface (better than in the phone, that's for sure).

The pack of replacements I got at the store were used and bent (taking them back, because that's bull****), but the cool T-Mo dude told me I should go get Ghost Armor instead. He had it on his HD2, and it looked decent enough. I don't think I'd want it to cover the whole phone (because of the docks coming out, and so forth), but I'm definitely interested in having it cover the screen.

What say you, forums?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] slowestcivic:
I have ghost armoured every phone i have ever owned. They are great, prices seem to have gone up but they install it for you and once you have it and something is wrong (like say, your case where there may be a dent in the cover itself) you can have it completely replaced for 5 bucks. Only thing i say about it is MAKE SURE you baby the heck out of the phone for the first 24 hours, that is when you will screw it up!
