I flashed .60 last night did a full charge overnight. I did some light usage (30min web, one 5 min phone call, exchange sync on all day) today and my phone was completely dead by 5pm. That's been the big downside of all the custom roms for me, the stock roms were way better on battery life.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nehemiahfff:
Evening

I don't know how to enter that particular symbol ( | <-- ) on my G2 in terminal. Is this is possible? Uncertain of MAC adb push, so I'm just entering on my G2.

Thanks in advance.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] benlee337:
Its actually an "l" (lower case L)

Also is there a way to get permanent OC?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nehemiahfff:
Thanks.

I'm sure there is, but I wouldn't be the one to ask though. That's sucks just checked and definitely resets itself eventhough though SetCPU has it set higher after after reboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] benlee337:
Awesome rom. Only thing that would make it perfect is permanent OC.

Is there any way to obtain this?

OTA notifications

******FIXED******

Run "adb remount"

*******************

"If you're getting OTA notifications, adb shell and run "rm /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip" -- without the quotes of course."

However, i get the following error:

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

# su

# rm /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip

rm failed for /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip, Read-only file system

What am I doing wrong?

Yea I was able to remidy it a little by removing some apps and widgets with titanium but it is still a battery drainer.

Will the latest bacon bits work if I flash this ontop of it? I really love the sense but I want it a little faster! And for the mms to work and the camcorder. What other ways can I do to overclock this

EDIT: I just flashed evils BB and everything seems to be working smoothly..and I can overclock. So I will see what's going on
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kurtis.austin2:
For the MMS issue, I have done the following...

On the original STOCK G2 ROM there are 3 APN settings. I took these settings and created 3 new APNs in this ROM. I had my friend Derek (wrkpam) do this as well and try sending me picture messages. He has a G2 and is running this ROM as well. All 4 picture messages he sent came through to me. So it was a success...

Go into Settings > Wireless & Tether > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names

Delete the current APN (don't worry, you can always hit menu and restore to default apn settings)

Then create a new APN for the 3 of the following.

Here are the 3 APN settings. Any area that is not listed below is just left as <Not set>

Name : T-Mobile Data

APN : epc.tmobile.com

MCC : 310

MNC : 260

APN type : default,supl

then hit menu, and save

now create the next one.

Name : T-Mobile FOTA

APN : epc.tmobile.com

MCC : 310

MNC : 260

APN type : hipri

then hit menu, and save

now create the next one.

Name : T-Mobile MMS

APN : epc.tmobile.com

MMSC : http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

MCC : 310

MNC : 260

APN type : mms

then hit menu, and save

After creating, AND SAVING, those 3 APNs, go back to the Wireless & Networks screen. You may see where it says Mobile Network with the check box next to it changing between Connected and Connection Failed. If you do, Uncheck the box. Wait a moment, and check it again. It should now stay on Connected...

Go and try sending an mms! I really hope this works for you all. It worked for us!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wkrpam:
;) glad to have mms back!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] titan4:

Anyone having problems with FM Radio? I turn it on and I get a message that says

"You need a headset to work as an antenna. Please plug in your headset and try again." Anyone else getting that or is it just me?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ssinisterss:
thats normal for sense, i have no idea why they limit it to a headset where as with tune in radio it doesnt need them.

just installed v6 then the patch and all is well, great job to the devs. i notice it uses up alot of memory (rom) than vanilla. i only have 130mb left when stock 2.2 i had around 280-310mb. thats being read by atk after killing apps. also MMS works in the latest version without any mods.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] edwill44:
The reason is that fm radio uses actual fm antenna built into the phone hence needing the wired headphones for an external antenna. (The rhoduim series has the same app). Tuned in uses streaming audio.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gteye:
I wasn't referring to the menu/home buttons those are working as I would suspect.

Its the actual screen brightness. It seems odd that. It gets brighter when in bright light and dimmer, to the point of it being uncomfortable, when in a darker area.

Id expect the screen to get brighter in the dark.

So far this is the only rom I have tried thatauto brightness has worked like this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
Lol...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eViL D::
Again, this is how it's supposed to be. The original setting is/was just too bright in the dark. If you like it a certain way, disable auto and set it to your liking.

Refer to the reference sticky thread, or check some of the links in my sig. Or post in the QA section of the G2 area.

It's available in the latest update. Check the change log ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gteye:
Personally I thought the auto brightness was dead on in stock and .7.2

It's personal preference which is why I suggested perhaps a way to adjust the range or sensitivity of the auto brightness setting.

Anyway, thanks for the rom, imo it is the most enjoyable to use.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ak47dabomb:
Yup,everything works... kernel is untouched.

I figured what was wrong: I had *#*4636#*#* punched in to set "WCDMA only" instead of "WCDMA preferred". So I reverted it back to "WCDMA preferred" and wifi hotspot is back in business.

Thanks eVIL! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mbergh22:
in the changelog what do you mean you added chrome to the phone? Is it a theme or the web browser?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joshlusignan:
Neither they added the app "Chrome to Phone". I wish it was that easy to add chrome to my phone. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HAK Devil:
This rom is working great on the whole though I was wondering if anyone else was having swype force close on them if they try to update to a later version. I have an invite to the latest swype beta and it worked fine on .72 but if I try to install it on the latest update it just gives me fc after fc until I uninstall the update.

I was reading the Virtuous tweet log and the devs are feeling like g2 owners aren't as appreciative as the droid incredible owners are of there roms, I for one think you guys are doing an incredible job and love your roms, I think some people sound a little bit demanding in there responses. If I were developing roms, I'd probably focus more of my time where it was appreciated. If things don't work by all means post, but if your posting just to *****, its really just gonna slow things down for everyone else.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mike96789:

I love this rom, the support is awesome and very fast, if there is a problem its fixed quickly. Thank you very much devs, keep up the great work that most of us think you're doing!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crevis24:
This new patch for the rom is sweet.........dont listen to the nay sayers, devs. Keep up the great work........i liked the older version but this one seems snappier and better. No issues with it for me.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joshlusignan:
This is unfortunate. Personally, seeing that the devs were producing ROMs for the DZ/G2 is one of the key reasons I bought the phone.

Flashing 7.4 now, Thanks for the update guys.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thisisspeedy:
I actually like this tab key rather that the "www./.com". That was a nice surprise.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the1wingedangel:
I believe you can just push the old Rosie.apk and have it the way it used to be. I tend to turn off the auto rotate everywhere anyway, because it is way way too sensitive on this phone. You sneeze and it turns on you. But if you want to be able to enable and disable it quickly, there is a built-in HTC widget for that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NXUS:
Agreed...that its the logical way brightness its supposed to work lol also ya I would upgrade to it if you guys changed the lock on keyboard open back to stock

Edit: just read a couple of posts up...you devs are doing an amazing job with this rom. this is by far the best rom for me and I appreciate all the work you guys put into this. I love how you guys really interact with the end user and do listen to feedback. Thank yo ou

This is the best yet awsome the only issue i am having is the bottom buttons on the touch screen the lights stay on no matter what when screen is on. It wasnt that way befor right? Is this what you guys wanted? I thought you just wanted to make those buttons brighter? Is there something i can do on my own to fix this issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
You can't fix it, unless, as eViL suggests, you download the source code and get your hands dirty.

Otherwise, you just deal with it. In recovery, you don't have to worry about a phone call/text waking you up, if that's your concern. It won't hurt it to sit in recovery overnight, either. Just put your phone facedown if the light is bothering you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ijoshv2:
Gonna download the new patch and test it, get back to you with results.

I need to know if there is a different radio I can flash? This one doesn't seem to get 4G, and constantly drops data connections, when my old stock rom never did that at all, and had 4G almost all the time. Can someone help, please? I really wanna fix this signal crap..

BTW, to the devs, i do appreciate everything you've been doing. Thanks entirely. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eViL D::
Also, there are other options, like hibernate.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gaalaagaa:
What we need is apretiation, understanding, patience and being able to keep a positive attitude so that way we give positive and constructive critisism to those who share their hard work.

So far I don't have any problems. Noticed battery draining fast but most likely adjusting here and there might help, other than that loving the sense and loving the devs even more.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bitter1:
I had 7.2 for a couple days and magically 7.4 solves the few frowns I had.

For the most part it works great. I just have an issue where my bluetooth headset doesn't want to pair. I tried for about 20 minutes, turning everything on/off, etc.

Will try again, might be me.

Otherwise no weirdness, but I would recommend the pershoot kernel to avoid the non-waking screen hiccup after installing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joshlusignan:
Its prob not your radio. This ROM, unlike stock ROMs, will report your signal strength more accurately. Im switching from 3G to H more often, I think its good to see the changes.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
People don't realize what developers do, and get way too snappy. Half the people on here don't know anything about what they are working on and expect them to just implement things on the spot. That's why they are making the rom, and not us. Developing is a learning process and things are learned all the time. That's why there are things that are still getting resolved. And again HTC IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE SLOWER THAN STOCK. You've gotta know this, always. I know I'm not use to it, but I do love the look and feel of sense. Also, they've already stated that they are pateiently waiting for HTC to release a newer desire z RUU to get everything for up to date.

Just have some patience because you will always have to give and take with whatever it is.

Hello!

Sorry to be the harbinger of bad news, but Pershoot's kernel is known to not work well with bluetooth on sense builds (I believe it is declared as such in the thread). I have tested it myself (for car bt) and found it not working too...

If bluetooth is a dealbreaker for you, you may want to revert to the original Virtuous kernel. (:

Cheers.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] verkion:
Pershoot bluetooth always worked fine for me! If you run pershoot, a few things that RMK/Evil included in their updates won't work like the new auto-brightness...which is probably not a deal killer for most of you.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
There's a big difference between reporting problems/issues and complaining because things don't work the way *you* want them to.

MMS isn't an optional thing - it's something that's expected to work, just like the browser, menus, market, etc. If MMS truly isn't working, that's something the devs would likely want to know and fix.

I had a chance to re-try HTC Sync (latest version from the HTC website) and it's still not connecting. I get the exact same thing - installs fine on my computer, launches, shows the default image and says it's waiting for me to connect. I plug my phone in (using the actual HTC cable, just to be sure), and choose 'HTC Sync' from the popup. I get an onscreen notification that it's searching for the computer, but no luck. I checked and the phone *is* installed correctly on the computer (drivers and whatnot).

Anyone else tried using HTC Sync with this ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gjm777:
Will be updating soon but honestly I'm still happy on 6.1 :D

I just wanted to say to all the devs working on this rom and all other roms for this phone that I appreciate your hard work and efforts. Remember most of the time it's the people who don't understand, follow directions and look for negatives/problems who post on the interwebz. These same people often forget this is a work in progress. The people enjoying the roms are happy using their phones, probably don't post much but I just wanted to say that your work is much appreciated!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tomb77:
If you have issues with someone

Please all PM the person that you have an issue with the way they may be coming across(they may not understand). This thread was moving at a not so fast pass with issues that the devs may not know about. Most do not want to repeat except to confirm but this makes it harder to follow. I know this is't much better but just wanted to put that out there before it gets out of hand. Thank you.

Edit: loving this of course and always come back when checking out other rom updates. You guys are really on top of it.

Nope. Some people have recommended wiping the Dalvik cache through recovery before flashing a new kernel, but I haven't even been doing that and things have run smoothly when I've switched between a few. Using the default one in .74 at the moment, though.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
I'm not having any issues at all - everything works great, other than HTC Sync, as I've reported. Just wanted to clarify that reporting issues isn't the same as complaining.

I never did any MMS 'hacks' - before I flashed this ROM the first time, while my phone was still stock, I downloaded APN Backup from the market, backed them up. Then I installed this ROM (it was v0.6.x then) and restored the backup - haven't had a problem since.

In doing the updates, I haven't wiped a single time - just a nandroid and then install the update. I don't have most of the issues people are reporting (wake issues, MMS, text moving the screen up, etc).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] loustrk:
