WiFi Calling

WiFi Calling can be replaced by either:

1) Gingerbread's built-in Internet calling. Settings > Call Settings > Internet Calling and Accounts at the bottom. This does require a SIP account with someone but can be used with gizmo5 (proxy01.sipphone.com) or any SIP provider for sending and receiving calls.

2) Sipdroid. This can also be used with any SIP account, but since version 2.0 it has very-easy-to-use Google Voice integration. If you have a Google Voice account, you enter your credentials to create an account on pbxes.org that is linked to your Google Voice account and it is good to go. Non-international calling is free for 2011 at least! It has a little green status bar icon instead of that blue Wifi Calling one so it looks really nice in Gingerbread, too.

These two methods for gingerbread that do NOT use your minutes, but use some kind of SIP account, which not everyone has nor understands.

I recommend going to Wifi Settings and pressing Menu button > Advanced and changing the Wi-Fi sleep policy to never sleep if you use either of these over WiFi.

WiFi calling seems to be a weak point because it is not open source and uses your T-Mobile minutes. Android and sipdroid are open source and do not use proprietary kernel extensions or anything that makes it sound all wonky from built-to-build, rom-to-rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sheek360:
Aaaah. Gotcha.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sheek360:
Thanks for the suggestions. But none of those options put the phone in a low powered state like tmobiles wifi calling.

I guess I'm what's considered a "power user" from 100% to 0% I can only enjoy the g2 for about 10 hours. But if wifi calling is enabled through the batterys whole discharge, I can squeeze out about 15 hours.

I think wifi calling kicks the phone down to gprs or something, I'm not totally sure; allows for all text data calls n mms to go through wifi I believe.

Regardless, I don't have a voip account and I probably don't have the mental capacity to memorize another phone number. Lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DJMartini:
"use some kind of SIP account" =) Exactly why I don't care to use them ... I have my own asteriks server at home and don't care to use it. Would rather have T-mobile do all the work for me. That's why I'd like to have WiFi calling work like it did it Froyo CM6.1.1

Good information though for people who want to do SIP

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DJMartini:
You saying that it most likely not going to get implemented in CM7 than?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MRCLrider:
I didn't want to say anything until I had 28 running for a little bit, but on 26 and 28 when I am plugged in to charge the phone is almost useless. Can anyone suggest a setting that needs to be checked, thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jhawkins002:
Re: Wifi Calling in CM7 -- It was included in CM 6, so I would imagine that barring any technical hurdles (of which there may be a minefield full of) I would think it will would be included.

Might even be interesting to see someone move the APK for the CM 6 version over to see if it would work as a direct port. Im guessing it wouldn't, else Cyanogen probably would have kept it in as part of the base manifest.

This is just my opinion, btw - reality could be a completely different creature :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DJMartini:
I moved it over tried using it, but it just FC's

The camcoder seems to be working on #28. Was broken on #26, but good to have a functional camcoder now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dyndragon:
they finally fixed the vold commit breaking the build.

Been testing a modified pershoot's kernel since last night; I'm at 70% battery after 15 hours 50 minutes. CM7's battery life is good on the cm kernel, but that's amazing :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sheek360:
Wow. Impressive
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] klmsu19:
Share the zip =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DJMartini:
What's so good on pershoot's kernal anyway? I thought that CM's 2.6.32.27 was based off pershoots a lil'?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
I don't have a zip, just a zImage and a module (still easy to install). I haven't yet figured out how to successfully package a signed update zip so that's why I just have the two bare files, but it's not hard to fastboot one and adb push the other :)

They both share plenty of pieces but I think pershoot's is slightly more undervolted, but I can't be sure. Honestly I don't know what makes them so different at this point, but this battery life is insane even by CM7 standards.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pflunz:
I am at 23 hours and still have 50% of battery. I am using build 26, but I flashed 5 minutes ago build 28 because of some wake-up problems when I opened the keyboard. will see what happens :)

and anyone else who wrote his download sometimes fails while downloading a new ROM. mine is sometimes broken, too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DJMartini:
Anyone using Beautiful Widgets? Everytime I unlock my phone from having it off it has animation on with the clouds moving and I have to tap screen to remove them than can access my phone. Anyone experience this issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
75% after 12 hours,but using default cyanogen kernel and overclocked

with CPU Tuner ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] phoenx06:
The app needs to be upgraded to work with Android 2.3. Once the G2 gets an OTA, the Wifi Calling app from it will work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
Build 26 right? I'm thinking the pershoot's battery performance is probably just about the same as that one the more reports I see :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
Build 28!

But maybe has to do with CPU Tuner too.

There are more options to save battery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pflunz:
I am using beautiful widgets. I dont have the issue. but in menu there is a point. I dont know the exact name, because my menu is in german, but when I go in BW, then on home-setup or something like this,	and then on advanced. there is a point with an unlock feature. maybe you enabled it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zkid2010:
Great build gang! I don't see the note about the USB not working on x64 Windows which is good because it definitely works now on my x64 Win7 install. ;)

PS - trackpad wake is overrated :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vandam500:
The thing that I don't understand about CPU Tuner is everytime I install it I only get the choice to have the minimum CPU speed at 768. Is that what you are using? And if not, can you post the settings please; would be greatly appreciated :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KiNG OMaR:
Working for me as well :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dyndragon:
Do the screen on/off CRT animations stay after reboot now? Does changing spare parts window animation speeds still cause it to stop working?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Baphometa:
Can you post a link for download and how I manually install this kernal that battery life is amazing
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vandam500:
I am running build 28 and yes the CRT animations stay after reboot. And yes if you change the spare parts animations they stop working.

Kineto is connects to a kernel module, it is also proprietary by t-mo so untill they update it, most likely is gonna be a serious hassle

sent from my cm7src powered htc g2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
It's really just a test kernel that isn't quite polished, and I'm not really sure anymore after more peoples' reports of battery life in a recent build that it's much better than the stock cm7 kernel (which is pretty similar to it in every way already).

It didn't have wifi at first but I got that fixed, but now, USB storage seems to be inactive. Regular USB connectivity is still there (adb works fine), but I would still like to figure that out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dabido:
B#28 is damn smooth! Fixed the wake up button as far as I know.

via xda app
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rhcp011235:
Has anyone figured out when OC'ed to 1.5 how to get a normal screen going?

Even with the animations turned off. I have to click 6 times. to get it to wake.

Anyone out there find a fix other then go back to stock?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dabido:
OC to 1.1 ghz and your good. Runs extremely smooth at this setting.

via xda app
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rhcp011235:
Not really a fix :) but it works

I really want to be up at 1.5
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
That is about what I am clocked at with no problems

If you like anything I do anything i do and you feel the need to donate you can paypal to thatguy32404@gmail.com do not feel obliged to do it cause I will still continue to do what i have been doing
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
I don't know why you would need 1.5... 1.2 is more than enough for me.

But to answer your question, try compiling a build yourself. MY homemade builds don't have the screen animations enabled in the code at all and I have no wake problems at 1.5GHz.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
Are you enabling the crt animation in though?

If you like anything I do anything i do and you feel the need to donate you can paypal to thatguy32404@gmail.com do not feel obliged to do it cause I will still continue to do what i have been doing
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Nope. Just straight from the repo, no fiddling of my own.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Not really trying to be a ****, but I'm gonna sound like one anyway...

Why do you have this in your posts? You already have a "Donate to me" link under your name; don't you think this is a bit overkill? Just sayin'.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pflunz:
I think build 28 is eating up my battery... or my battery stats are bad. from yesterday till today I lost 50% with buikd 26. in the last 3 hours I lost 35%...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
and you tried donate to me button? you obviously didn't.. it's forum donate mate.. funny
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
Because everyone uses the xda app, which you don't see the button. I was gonna give my host monies for all the bandwidth that has been going thru. 30,000 downloads a day is a lot and it costs alot

NICE WEATHER WE'RE HAVING AINT IT?????????

lol. Build 28 has been nice to me so far.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rhcp011235:
Thanks for the answer. What changes did you make? Which files? So me and others can do this.

Thanks again
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
I only put it up for a few posts

It was taken down already and I felt obliged to put it up there because I am about to switch hosts and I feel like a **** for sucking his bandwidth dry and then kinda jumping ship
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Durkbeef:
Anyone else having issues with b28 being a little unresponsive with the launcher? I have to swipe my finger a few times for it to take.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
No changes. Just following the Wiki. Gridlock is the one making changes to his builds, enabling the screen on/off animations. Which I believe is what is causing your problem.

If you wanna be lazy, here's the build I'm running right now. Repo sync'd as of 2011-01-06 0015GMT (2011-01-05 1615 PST)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
you can replace the laucher, I think andersweb has been a little bit behind the whole development thing
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mikey:
When you say no wake issues, what exactly do you mean??

You are able to wake phone using the trackpad?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
The trackpad wake not functioning isn't a wake issue, it's just nonexistent at this point because the method for enabling the trackpad wake feature has changed in Gingerbread.

"wake issues" means the screen not waking when you press the power button, which has been a problem since the first builds whenever the lightbeam screen-lock/screen-wake animations are enabled in the build.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
No, trackpad isn't in the source yet. What I meant by "no wake issues" is that the screen actually comes on when you hit the unlock button. rhcp0112345 was reporting that he was having this problem, I was offering a solution :D

EDIT: lol I typed too slow!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mikey:
Gotcha guys....I'm not experiencing those/that issue.

I knew about pad not being in the code yet. That's why i was like huh :eek: :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
I'm with Gravis though, I'm just too tired of the annoying wake issue, and I like my max clock at 1516, so my builds are now untouched from source. I don't think nifty little animations are worth dumping my max clock down a full 500 MHz just to be sure the screen will wake the first time I press the button. Once the CM team figures out what voltages to tweak that will ensure the screen lights on first wake, then I'll be all for the lightbeam animations. Til then I'm just fine without :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmaster3333:
how do you enable them in the build?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KiNG OMaR:
CM settings :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmaster3333:
:mad:

For me, the past few day's builds all fail to have the animation enabled whether or not it is enabled in the cm settings (even after rebooting).

From the previous posts it seems like this is something you gotta enable in the SOURCE CODE or during the MAKE command. So I'm asking how to do that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
It is, it is in frameworks/core/base/res/res/values.xml
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kundica:
values/config.xml
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
That's not how you enable the animations in the build, that's how you turn them on in CM7 once it's installed. To enable the animations in the first place, you have to alter this file in the source:

device/htc/vision/overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml

Near the bottom of the file there is a section that's been commented out:

<!--
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool>
-->

You have to uncomment the section, but leave it set to false, and that will enable CM7 to use the animations:

<!-- lightbeam animations -->
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool>

But, like I was saying earlier, I stopped doing this because I got tired of either having to lower my max clock speed, or having to live with the screen not waking every time I press the power button. I'd rather have max clock and a screen that wakes every time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
No, enabling in the build and in the settings are two different things. That's the whole point we were getting at.

Enabling them in the build allows enabling them in the settings to work. Gridlock has been doing that for you guys.

In my builds, they are not enabled on the build level so checking the boxes in the CM settings does nothing.

2 totally different things. And you can have your :rolleyes: back.

EDIT: I see that if I'd clicked to the next page I'd have noticed a few people already told you this. Oops.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
I'm OC'd to 1.5 using SETCPU. I got around the wake issues by setting all my profiles to conservative. Also still running build 26 proper.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
But why overclock to 1.5 GHz if you're going to use a conservative governor?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
For the record, that's also with screen animations enabled.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] witm01:
How come the keymaps for the g2 hardware keyboard are still wrong for umlauts in german and other languages? The same problem existed in stable cm 6.1.1. I was hoping it would have been fixed by now.

Is it safe to use the old fix with gingerbread?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rhcp011235:
+1 for that
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] billyskip:
Hey guys. Could someone please post the link to the newest build? I cant seem to find it anywhere..

This has a trackpad wake from gerrit. and no on/off animations. figured id share it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] billyskip:
I asked because gridlocks 28 build wont install.. But thanks for the lashing.. I needed one.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Didn't really think I was being that harsh :confused:

But maybe it would have helped if you had specified like you did just now instead of asking for "the" latest. There are many people building, so there is no "the" latest. And of course if you really want to be bleeding edge, you can always build it yourself like I and many others here do. It's not really that hard.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] billyskip:
No worries.. Thanks for your help. Not really sure im ready to build my own yet.. \Baby steps.
