Just permarooted my G2 (rage+gfree) and flashed CM 6.1-Stable. This is my first ever custom ROM, and I am completely impressed.

Phone seems much snappier than stock. I do not have the SIM card issue, my number is retained after reboots (my SIM card is from T-Mobile and over 7 years old).

Still messing with SetCPU for optimal performance & battery life saving... is there a CM 6.1 SetCPU "share your profiles" type thread? I couldn't find one in search.

Thanks to the Cyanogen team. I donated today!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sinistersai4d4d:
Omg yes.. thought I was losing my mind and didn't know how to word it. This also happens while scrolling a long website at times. Pretty regularly actually. Try reading a long article.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrbmg:
+1 here as well. It happens rarely but enough to drive you nuts. I was going through the wikileaks docs and I was sure it was just a glitch on the site but it has happend a few more times.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] recasper:
Thank god I am not the only one that has seen this. It's so bloody annoying, haha. And I have noticed it in sites too just like you cats.

So much so, that as much as I love Cyanogenmod 6.1 and the great features, I'm getting worried that this is something that I just can't continue to deal with. I know its a very moderate issue - petty and hair splitting of a critique even - but at times its kinda like sitting on the porch and not being able to catch the little mosquito that keeps buzzing by your ear. ;-)

EDIT: --- I apologize if this has been addressed. Like sinister above, I couldn't think of how to word it in searching. Tried a few ways, just nothing specific enough to use as a search criteria.

I just want to chime in and say that my Vision isn't picking up my phone number as well.

The odd thing though is, I'm not on T-Mobile in the U.S., I'm on Rogers in Canada. Currently running CM 6.1 stable. Using a 4000 series SIM. Could any other Rogers/Fido subscribers confirm that their phone number is being picked up by their phone?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CWolfCW:
Rogers in Canada here, doesn't pick up phone number from SIM series 4000 either. I put it back in to old phone, detects number from SIM correctly so I'm fairly certain the number is programmed on SIM. Works with stock as well so... I dunno. Pretty sure it's a bug in CM atm.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sinistersai4d4d:
I wish cyanogen would incorporate a screenshot button combination or a way to put specific apps in the notification shade widget toggle bar thingy so I can run ShootMe without closing the app I'm in.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] swags:
Interesting new development on the unknown number issue: I just got my finacee's new G2 today and discovered that her number is not detected even on the stock ROM. AFAIK no one has reported this problem also occuring on the stock ROM. When I get home this evening I'll see if my other phones can pick up her number like they can with my SIM and test my SIM in her phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stryder5:
Just let ShootMe run in the background. Start it up and then go to your app. Shake when necessary for the screenshot!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] FrenicX:
It must be something against wives. Mine wifes has done this since she got her g2 too

Hey, so, I was wondering if there's a way I can access my music controls while I'm listening to music without exiting whatever I'm doing. I'm using doubletwist btw (don't know if that matters)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OFinch:
This happened to me on stock before root and I am the type of person that has ALL my text messages on my phone.. I like to keep them, so I have thousands.. and I lost them before root was figured out.. so I use SMS backup everynight just in case that ever happens again.. I have it auto set to do it. Give it a try.. but never happened to me on cyanogen mod since. Keep in mind, I was a victim of about 3 thousand texts.. lol

GPS isn't working for me. Wiped and installed fresh and still not working. Works fine when I restore to stock.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] apzalo:
Haha, maybe. Right now I'm at 20 hours with 40% battery left.

Prior to root I was only getting 12 - 14 hours on a charge.

Sent from my HTC Vision with CM 6.1 and Pershoot's Kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
Myself, I'm at 19 hours with 20% left. Screen time on is just under 3 hours. Phone use was checking news, a few texts, email, XDA, and occasional browsing throughout the day with an hour straight of angry birds. Using pershoot's kernel with no SetCPU rules.

I should note though that I've been working from home all day with the phone connected to wifi 100% of the time. Sleep policy set to never.

I find most of my battery drain comes from days when I'm inside a building or commuting (subway & street car). The signal switching is just murder.

Don't be surprised if the people getting 20+ hours on their mobile phones aren't quite as mobile as you are. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
+1 for SMS Backup & Restore. I like to use it so I can keep my conversations when flashing new ROMs. I have not encountered the random deletion problem though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] recasper:
I wanted to follow up with another aspect of the scrolling glitch I brought up earlier. I've been noticing that aside from the application drawer jumping back to the top a lot when scrolling through apps. I have also had on occasion notice that the scroll window will not only jump back to the beginning but also many icons will disappear leaving blank space with a handful of some apps scattered around until I begin to scroll the drawer and all items will refresh back.

Not sure if anyone has ran into this along with the scrolling glitch, but thought I would throw that out there.

I'm using Launcher Pro Plus if that helps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zenstitution:
Loving the fm radio in the update, no complaints here.

www.dsnuts.webs.com - in progress so go easy on us.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
You need to get S-OFF to be able to flash any custom ROM. root on its own isn't enough.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sinistersai4d4d:
Yeah, that's a totally different issue. Launcher Pro did that to me before I was even rooted. It rarely happens to me though. Usually when I'm doing tons of stuff in the app drawer or switching between apps and then quickly opening the app drawer. Def not a Cyanogen Issue...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sinistersai4d4d:
Yeah you're missing the point... I have to remember to start it up whenever I use my phone. I have a confession, 9 times out of 10 I'm in a game and have to leave the game.. open the screen shot app, and reenter the game to take the screenshot.

The best solution I have found is quickdesk, which (ungracefully) lets me open an app tray while in a game or app by double tapping the home button.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dangabob13:
Battery issues?

Is anyone else finding that the battery life was better in RC4? Ive checked through the changelog and i dont see a change in kernel or anything(unless im missing it).

I flashed Pershoots kernel from the Rom manager and made some tweaks to CPU Tuner(per Utorrent76's suggestions) and i still seem to be only lasting 6 hours on average.

Any suggestions? Maybe on how to flush the battery stats other than in recovery?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
I've been too afraid to try 6.1 stable since I've been getting awesome battery life on RC4 and everyone seems to be complaining about battery life on the stable release. I'm using Pershoot's 11/30 kernel and have had great results.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chief2842:
Yea thought it was just me I have my profiles set and I'm getting up to only 8hrs and that's without using it that much. If I use the phone or play games I will get about 6hrs.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dangabob13:
Ok Ima give it a full day and if im not happy im flashing my RC4 nandroid backup. Thinking about flashing Virtuous with the pershoot kernel to test out battery on the sense rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] N3N1T0:
Your telling me I love this rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Davidion:
I feel like I was getting better battery life back when I was on RC2; thinking about going back to that.

One thing though: is anyone's phone getting REALLY hot upon charging now? I've noticed that my G2 gets noticeably heated after charging, and I can feel it through the case.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] giganticprune:
im sorry if its been covered before, but im using CM 6.1, and im having mms issues. and by issues i mean people just receive an empty text. if i send one to myself it works. can anyone halp?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] recasper:
Got a question in regards to the Camera Shutter sound. I seen the question posted on here a couple times and I did happen to see a post on Cyanogenmod.com forums about it. Unfortunately there really wasn't any resolutions supplied other than disappointment or approval of its removal.

Did anyone figure out how to reenable this feature? It's not a huge issue, but it is nice to know when the picture has been taken, rather than seeing it focus a bunch and the need to watch the thumbnail in the lower corner to see if it was taken.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TL24:
I've been asking about this since RC1 and it still hasn't been fixed yet. It's also an issue on Enom's ROM so i'm not sure what the deal is or why it's so hard to resolve - but then again i'll leave that up to the EXPERTS (CM, Enom) lol :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] recasper:
Any updates on the Camera Shutter Sound issue

Funny enough it was your posts that were the only ones I could find on this thread asking the question. There was a thread over at CMods site too, but still no avail there either. Hopefully its something that can resolved. Its not necessarily a deal breaker, but I (like you I assume) would like to have it as more of a notification sound. I just get annoyed with having multiple pictures being taken before I realize I actually scored one, haha. Or worse, taking a picture in a rush only to realize that I missed it because it simply kept focusing over and over faking me into thinking it was taken ;^).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
I'd rather have a shutter-like effect on the screen kinda like the iSuck has. Even if it just goes black and then back on without animation it'd be fine. I don't like shutter sounds but I also don't like nothing at all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ThaGeNeCySt:
Well... looks like alt + .com button doesn't type "www"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] faaque2:
Confirmed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] swags:
The .com/www. key is kind of funky. Alt-.com only inserts www. at the beginning of a field as far as I can tell. I tried it in a variety of text fields and saw the same behavior every time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] swags:
I think most people consider no shutter sound to be a feature rather than a bug. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TL24:
Either way, it would be nice to have an option to turn it On/Off for those that actually like it. Hopefully this is addressed in future releases.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amack10:
Does metamorph not work I've been trying but can't maek it work
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ThaGeNeCySt:
OOOOOhhhh nevermind, i see how the .com / www keys work... pretty convenient now that i see it's new use... no need for alt+ anymore :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] recasper:
I can understand that some people like it. But like TL said below, it would be much better if it had the option. Of course its all about preference though, without its kinda like having pattern unlock and no swipe unlock.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] oldsk00lz:
FYI. I am having pretty good battery life on CM6.1stable.

I hit 18.75 hours yesterday before my battery status went 'red'. That includes about an hour of 3d gaming, 6 hours of sleep, sporadic web browsing/rss apps/etc, and a day of work, granted I didn't have many calls. No o/c of SetCPU (806max ondemand) and no profiles. I did have Screebl running, and my display timeout set to 15 seconds.

I may try some setcpu profiles next, and eventually an undervolted kernel.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sinistersai4d4d:
I dont get including 6 hours of standby time in ur total. Im assuming most people charge their phone while theyre sleeping... if you subtract that six hours the remainder is more realistic. My phone used less than 10 percent the one night I forget to charge it.

I am having issues with video, not taking it themselves but in the gallery the thumbnail for the video is of something else... never had this issue before... anyone know how to fix it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] elracing21:
This has nothing to do with CM but it has happened to me, all i did was go into my files, use astro or file manager or any of them apps and go to media or wherever your pictures are and delete the folder that says .thumbnails. It should refresh everything next time you go into the gallery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WarBird87:
Ok cool thanks

Yes, i can record and playback on my pc just fine, but the rom itself does not allow me to view it right after i record
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] billyskip:
Works for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Yeah but that's what he was asking, being able to flash the Cyanogen kernel but not the whole ROM.

Baconbits isn't the whole Cyanogen kernel, but it'll give you some of the stuff.

Why not try the whole ROM though ? Do a nandroid backup before you do, and you can easily revert if you don't like it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] apzalo:
I think that they already have cm flashed but tried different kernel and wants to go back. Some one flashed bacon bits over cm, bad things happened.

Hey guys I'm having a problem I'm on stable but I've been having it since rc3, when I go into the gallery I can't see any thumbnails at all. It let's me select and deselect items even though I have no idea what I'm selecting. Is anyone else having this problem? Also I'm not sure if this is because of this, but I can't change my wallpaper, when I try if I try to use gallery then I can't see what I'm selecting, but if I use astro or file manager and I select the wallpaper, it returns to the prompt asking me which app I want to use.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
This happened to me when I first flashed RC4, I think i tried taking new photos and videos and this seemed to make it work again, and now on stable it seems to work fine now, I have no problems with the gallery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] koraun:
Thanks joemm,

I've tried taking like ten pics and ten vids but it still didn't fix the problem, I might try installing a different gallery apk when I leave work

Having a very minor issue with the screen response. When I receive a text, I open a the keyboad and rotate the phone horizontally at the same time. After that exact instance, 3/4 of the touch screen becomes unresponsive. In fact the only part of the screen that works during that time is the bottom right. When I restart, all is back to normal ,but only after I restart. Anyone else have this issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jbenson:
Been having the same problem here! I thought it was just my phone! Thanks for bringing that one up!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] oldsk00lz:
I'll preface this post as "yes, it's another battery related post" so if you are tired of the topic, then I apologize for adding fuel to the fire and cluttering the CM thread, so you can move on to the next post. ;)

Sinistersai4d4d - I agree that sleep time (and idle time) shouldn't count towards active use of the phone and top battery longevity honors. :O I usually get 12-15 hours of 'heavy' use. Now, I do think down time should be listed during analysis to better identify different scenarios and culprits of bad battery life. ((Also, no one wants to wake up and have had their battery drained during the night, so it's good to know how the battery life is in these scenarios.)) I also posted this since there have been some complaints of drain during idle time, so thought it may be interesting to some.

I followed up the test with a couple more days of light usage. Results are on both ends of the spectrum. (Typical Android.)

test #2 - The next day, I got 23 hours out of the battery. This includes leaving it uncharged at night when I went to bed for about 6 hours. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to break 24 hours, even with limited phone calls and usage, but was pretty stoked to hit 23 hours on CM6.1.

test #3 - Here is the interesting one. After the 23 hours, I plugged in and charged it up. After the charge, did some browsing and about 1 hour of 3d gaming. Still showed a good charge. Went to bed, phone was idle and screen off, and woke up this morning to an almost drained phone. I hit a red warning with only 11 hours since unplugged.

This may be due to Screebl. Seems the battery graph usually shows a flat-line when sleeping, but last night it was the slow discharge.

I am not convinced it's CM6.1, and think it is more Android related.

Was listening to Android guys podcast Thursday (with Cyanogen and team as guest stars), using the Music app to stream the podcast. When I left the app to multi-task, it seems the feed broke. On a second attempt after reconnecting, I again was multi-tasking and it worked for a few minutes before the music app (stream) died.

Just curious if this is typical behavior or an issue? (bad me...I should have grabbed a logcat.)

Hi, new to the G2 scene, can anyone tell me if there's a Chinese locale in this ROM, full Chinese and everything? Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gbzbar:
I've been having an EXTREMELY unusual issue that may or may not be related to the unresponsive screen issue you have been describing. I tried reverting to stock ROM, and the issue is still slightly there, but it is MUCH more prevalent on CM6.1.

OK... it seems like when I put the phone in my car dock or on my desk, the screen will become very unresponsive to touch. When I touch a finger to the metal frame around the screen, then the responsiveness becomes perfect. When I stop touching the metal frame, it's completely unresponsive again. Touching the metal battery cover also fixes the issue temporarily, just like touching the frame of the phone.

I know that I'm not crazy, so maybe someone can confirm this behavior on CM6.1?

Again, it will only happen in a car dock or something so that no part of your hand is touching a metal surface of the phone.

Thanks.

Edit: I've narrowed the problem down (most likely) to the Kernel, not the ROM. Tried with pershoot's kernel, and the issue does not come up. Flashing the CM kernel back, and it pops up again. Also, wtang's flashing baconbits and having the same issue.
