It seems like some of you are seeing better battery life with the latest nightlies as compared with RC1. What do you guys think, or is it just the same? Or should I just flash for myself and find out. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Sphaerophoria:
Always flash yourself and find out :D but on the latest ones the rotation has been broken so if you open your keyboard you have to turn off the screen again to get it to go upright.... in other words i dunno how far you'll get testing battery ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:
I notice the battery life is horrendous on these builds including RC1 hopefully the team addresses this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] malemutekid:
Agreed. I've given the Sense ROMs a try and they're pretty, but just not for me. I was on a Nightly then flashed RC1 when it came out and it was pretty great having CM back on but depressing that the battery life was nowhere near as good as stock. I'm now back on stock with Bacon Bits and hoping to see some power management optimization in the Nightlies.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] malemutekid:
Just flashed 25 and the landscape is working for me. Doesn't look like I will be on this much longer though bc Ciwrl just tweeted RC2 may be out this evening :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wwwhershcom:
25 is work out fine for me, rotation, keyboard light, and everything. looking forward to rc2.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sheek360:
Hopefully rc2 fixes wifi calling =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] danieljordanmaddux:
Check out the new lockscreen shortcuts to phone and messaging in nightly#25 I'm lovin it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Reignzone:
Oh, ****!?! :eek:

That is outrageously sick! WOW! :rolleyes:

Hopefully, RC2 is out tonight, at the latest, this weekend! Fingers crossed...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Thanks what I am waiting for lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] danieljordanmaddux:
It would be awesome if he added the option of custom sliders also where you can set your own apps to be opened by the sliders.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
Well, I guess I'll flash 27 and see what it's about.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sheek360:
Hows 27? Stability, wifi calling n battery life improved?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cyanogen:
The animations are buggy (prevents the screen from coming on) when you overclock on the G2 because of some race condition that I've not been able to track down yet.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sheek360:
In regards to latest 2.3 nightly; I came across an issue. Right after installation of rom and gapps the google apps were missing. Went back and reflashed old gb gapps solved my issue

Other than that it runs great! I do miss the crt animations though lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] witm01:
Those gapps missing can be installed from the market*. Also, when setting up synchronisation with a google account the wizard prompts you to select additional gapps for installation.

* For those who don't get all gapps over the market (like gmail in Germany), you can use Market Enabler to temporarily fake a U.S. simcard. That way the market won't hold anything back anymore.

Had to find out the hard way myself. Would have been nice if there had been some info on that somewhere.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] salamanderdroid:
I see. Well, it's not really a big deal for me. Thanks to you and your team for all the hard work! We all appreciate :D

How do I install ClockworksMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 on my phone?? I tried taking the .zip and pasting it on the root of my SD, then rebooted into recovery and installed from SD but nothing has changed...Also I had the option for the CM7 in my nightlys and now its gone back to the CM6 Nightlys...Any help would be greatly appreciated..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] silverton:
Anyone else notice that a couple of the video tests in Quadrant are just a blank screen now?

I'm hoping the random reset isn't apparent in CM's build like it is in VillianROM. I have a SimLock so that's especially annoying. i know they are from the same source, but I'm hoping now that there is a CM7 nightly...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jcrompton:
Dropped Calls

I have posted several times in the "unofficial" CM7 thread regarding this issue.

Not sure why (recognizing that there are many factors) but after switching to CM7 and pretty much flashing every "unofficial" Build and now with the official Nightly Build I keep getting dropped calls.

I don't recall having a single dropped call on CM6.1.1 but sometimes will have drops over and over again with 7

Everything else pretty smooth

Restoring my 6.1 since I gotta work tomorrow but any comments from others re this would be appreciated -- especially if any of the Mods think they come up with a fix.

BTW - I'm one of the rare ones on ATT (in the USA).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] whiteghetto:
I had the random reboot in Villian, but none so far in CM7. Been running CM since about an hour after they were announced.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sheek360:
Build 0 wasn't too experimental for me. It worked great. But I missed the crt animation. Didn't wanna use the 2 newest builds because of the wifi calling issue.

So I went back to crackflashers latest. I think I'm gonna stay here @ least till an rc is released.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KCRic:
Well everything seems to be going along nicely with CM7. Just flashed #23 and still need to test it. I was however, greeted with the honeycomb UI with the blue wifi, battery, and a few other tweaks from HC. Are they planning on integrating 2.3 with some of 3.0 in CM7 or something or is it probably just mostly cosmetics?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stevencpoynter:
You're most likely using the cyanbread theme. New little tweaks get added with each succesful build. Androidian is full of green accents, and stock is well...orange. I believe each theme has its own dedicated set of notification sounds too
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ivanemoore:
2 days in

I have been running the nightlies for the past couple days. Today being the 2nd full day and 2nd nightly build.

My experience has been quite nice. Everything has worked at least as well as the stock rom that came with my phone...in most cases, things have run better. I have had no FC's or other issues yet. I use this for personal and work and I have yet to even think about going back. Great job!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
27 so far is very stable, and I'm not on Tmo, so no wifi calling. As far as battery life, it's really too early to tell. Seems very quick and responsive so far though, and all light works as it should.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sheek360:
Thanks, is there a changelog for the nightlies?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thatruth132:
after installing titanium it shows apps2sd gauge
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sheek360:
Nightly 27's wifi calling is much more stable now. It doesn't shut off when the screen turns off. People can hear me just fine too, however I'm having a tough time making them out.

27 is a keeper

If some1 can post the nightly changelog id appreciate it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thatruth132:

Ill stay @ 27 till one of the nightlies has wifi calling sorted out
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] olearyp:
Not sure why that build was forced:

http://buildbot.teamdouche.net/changelog/cm_vision_full/27..28
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
Well 28 may have a keyboard wakelock issue, as posted by Cyanogen, because cmsrc just tweeted that the issue is corrected. I'll hold off on 28, because 27 is running really well for me right now
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thatruth132:
im going to try that now but will it be ext3 or ext2

update partitioning doesnt work
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mattseg:
28 is running fantastically well for me.

BTW this development is going smokingly fast. Thank you Cyanogen!!!!1!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thatruth132:
did you come straight from 27 and also did you whip first
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] olearyp:
Builds 27 and 28 are built from identical sources (there were no interim commits), so I fail to see your point. If 28 has that issue, then so does 27.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] malemutekid:
I'm on 27, and on the latest Gapps update and the Market app show "T-Mobile" instead of "Downloads" on the top three tabs. Shouldn't it read "Apps", "Games", "Downloads"? I hate having to click Menu > Downloads, I would much rather it be the third tab which I thought it was supposed to be on a AOSP build.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sheek360:
Hows 28s wifi calling?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mattseg:
Mine has downloads, apps, games.

haven't tried wifi calling.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sheek360:
Mind giving wifi calling a go? On 27 I find it hard to understand people during a wifi call
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wwwhershcom:
Wifi calling on 28 works great. Flawless, I honestly didn't realize I was on it until I got off the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ThaGeNeCySt:
I'm using version 28.. but for some reason my facebook contacts isn't showing up in my contacts.. i'm gonna uninstall fb and reinstall and see what happens

EDIT:

simple reboot fixed the problem :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sheek360:
Installing 28 now. Thnx
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] luis86dr:
Is it better to wipe for these nightlies or should I just flash ontop of rc1. Don't think it would make a difference

If I flashed over rc1 but want some input on this.

[G2/HTC Vision]
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Superfrag:
I also want to know, will the battery life be better than RC-1? It sucks up my battery with regards to switching between 3G and H(I think), down to 60% in 3 hours with Android System taking up more than 50% of the consumption. :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] luis86dr:
Nightly 28 works flawlessly.

[G2/HTC Vision]
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajk1311:
did you end up flashing over rc1 or wiping? i was curious about that as well
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] luis86dr:
Flashed over rc1. No wipe.

[G2/HTC Vision]
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:
Agree. I have a feeling #28 will graduate to RC2 :D. This is purely my own speculation. I'm running it right now and it seems to work very nicely.

BTW, you can flash nightlies on top of RC1.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wwwhershcom:
no wipe needed.

one thing I did that seemed to help battery life was turn off Cyanogens Anonymous Statistics.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajk1311:
thanks gonna try it out
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cyanogen:
A bunch of goodies went in late last night. I had hoped to shove out RC2 but fell asleep :)

There should be no way this affects battery life. It runs once when you boot the phone, then shuts down and never comes back.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:
You deserve more than that! thanks for the awesomeness :D

Can we call #28 official RC2 yet? lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TL24:
Now im debating if i should flash build 28 or wait till you release RC2!? Haha
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] petard:
Has the GPS been fixed yet?

EDIT: I actually have 27 installed I believe. I tried it in the car but it wouldn't get a fix. Now at home it gets a fix with a high accuracy number, but I am inside.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:
what GPS issue are you referring to? I have none
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sheek360:
I never had a gps issue either

On 28 I can't send or receive mms while wifi calling is enabled
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] petard:
Mine just refuses to get a lock. It only happens sometimes I guess. Look at my edit.

I had zero issues with my Nexus One. WIth the Desire Z it just refused to lock some times.

Another issue is when you enable the two extra lock screen sliders and the phone is in landscape and the lock screen is up, one of the sliders is in the wrong location.

EDIT: Found another bug with the lockscreen.

1) Open keyboard

2) Turn off screen

3) Close keyboard

4) Turn phone on. Phone stays in landscape mode even though the screen is in portrait. This happens whether auto rotation is on or off. It seems the phone never gets the keyboard close command.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:
Weird I don't have any GPs problem. It locks in quite well and quick.

About the lock screen with landscape mode, I can confirm it. Edit: Even with default (single lock-screen).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wwwhershcom:
I think that mms can only be sent over edge or 3g or h.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] petard:
I just installed 28 and it got a GPS lock inside quickly. Guess it is fixed whatever it was.

Another little issue though is the notification bar widgets. I restored my CM settings using MyBackupPro (it allows to backup/restore settings) from my Nexus One onto my Desire Z and now the widget bar settings have a problem.

The Flashlight and autorotate buttons are stuck on the bar. The checkbox is unchecked and they are there. If I check the checkbox for either one, now I have two of the one I checked. When I uncheck it, it removes the first one and the second stays.

If there was a reset option it would be nice. Or else, where are system settings stored in Android? I have had it for a while and still don't know it as well as I used to know WM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Reignzone:
Oh yeah, I can confirm that weird screen locking issue... :rolleyes:

It's unfortunate to feel like I'm knit-picking or something, but I'd rather have a bit to report than ignore an issue altogether. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] anth75:
I also can't get a lock on my GPS...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ThaGeNeCySt:
Weird... i set the SetCPU governor to Interactive... and after some time, it was locked at 245mhz and refused to rise... i'll reboot and see if the problem continues
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ThaGeNeCySt:
I can't get a gps lock to save my life. Hasn't changed between RC1 and Nightly 28 no matter how long I leave Navigation trying

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sheek360:
As soon as wifi calling is enabled it should be rerouted and sent/received via wifi.

Nightly Build 32. Anyone flashed it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
About to flash it over rc2 before trying out the VillainROM
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Reignzone:
I'd like to hear some feedback on build #32, because I just considered flashing this, instead of "RC2" -- because I am yet to upgrade from "RC1" due to the fact that I cannot use the 1.8 GHz kernel from Flippy on "RC2".

Anyway, if anyone decides to move forward and flashes the build, let "us" know if it seems "stable" enough for normal usage.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
I'll flash it now for you guys. Won't be able to tell in the next 15 minutes if it's stable or a battery hog, but I'll let you know my thoughts.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
This build seems to be running well so far. I can't speak much about it, but from what I've dabbled in, it's very stable. Battery hasn't dropped down much from the use I've used, so I'd rate this a GO from me. I will say this .. I do NOT use GPS, so I don't know as far as that goes.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lightningtrip:
I flashed #33 about 2 hours ago, everything works, flashed Pershoots kernel about an hour ago on top of it and so far everything is A-OK

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
Blah, even with 34 out, it seems no new commits since 31, oddly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] olearyp:
The build-bustage fix made it, to be pedantic. But the more recent patches didn't get synced; it appears the buildslave was having connection problems to android.git.kernel.org. Passion synced correctly but the other targets (which get built after vision) don't seem to be syncing either, though they don't show the error.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
Lets hope this battery drain gets sorted... It seems like a memory leak somewhere... its very simular to the problem we had when we first ported CM5 to the desire.. Lets hope they find the issue;)

the last time i had a issue like that i had wipe my phone , then i was good
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] olearyp:
Placebo effect. Builds 33 and 34 are identical.

(Also, despite everyone's complaints of "battery drain", I've had no problems whatsoever. And GPS works fine.)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Reignzone:
I agree with this statement... too many people have this idea in their head that the battery drain on their handset is "worse" or unique compared to others.

I haven't had any issues with "excessive" or unusual battery draining from any of Cyanogen's builds.

In fact, if you're using the correct profiles within SetCPU, then you shouldn't have much of any battery drain at all while your screen is off.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] selectodude:
They have different md5 checksums, and 33 was nothing but problems while 34 has been kickass. I'm not refuting your claim since it clearly says there was no changes, but there's definitely a difference for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TL24:
Im not using any SetCPU profiles running @ 1.49ghz with interactive gorvenor and im getting a good 8+ hours with mild/moderate use.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] olearyp:
Disclaimer: my previous assertion was wrong. :D

The md5 will be different regardless of any external changes in the scheduled nightlies, as the revision in build.prop for nightlies includes the date and therefore changes daily.

Having said that, I'm seeing evidence (based on the sudden appearance of the additional ALT+Sym characters) that Chris (or possibly jeagoss) is screwing around with the buildslaves and manually running "repo sync" outside of the buildbot framework, which will make the buildbot changelog unreliable. Still, you can look at @cmsrc to see what's being updated, though it's a little harder to pin down what is in what build that way.

Sorry everyone for the confusion.

All good. Let's try Build 35!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
I'm getting excellent battery life with the screen on, and horrible with the screen off. *sigh* .. I guess I'll try setCPU sleep profiles. I started to not use them when I had my n1, as I noticed I had an improvement in battery life. I'll try with profiles though.
