I don't know what u r talking about- battery life on this rom is exceptional. Messed with my phone since 5 am and I still have 75% battery left. Its almost 5pm pacific time
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spacemonkey333:
Maybe my battery is shot?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strker45:
i have the same issues and i think mine is shot too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CamoGeko:
I've been missing some apps today as well, maybe Google is testing some updates on the market.

Try going into manage applications - market - uninstall updates. Might help. ;)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] misfit61871:
Have you tried calibrating your battery? Also with the tweakr script you can under volt which helps batt life.

Ever since I under volted I have great batt life AND my phone very rarely gets too hot! It's awesome!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
I can easily get up to 28 hours with moderate use and sync on push for most stuff ;) try deleting the battery stats.

@geko95gek

couldn't find thing you mentioned :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CamoGeko:
Strange, its definitely there. Have another look.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
Well it wasn't there, but I pressed "Clear data" @ Market app and now it works again :D thanks anyway!

also this ROM is ****ing stable! first ROM which is still fast and non battery consuming after 110 hours uptime!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dannejanne:
I matched the rils because I still had problems getting 4G signal with .16 radio. It only made it worse though now I don't get 4G signal at home at all again after matching the rils. Not sure what to do here to get the speed back I used to have. This is the only thing that does not work properly for me with this rom.

Went back to .30 radio just now and 4G is back again. Let's hope it becomes more stable and that my provider has been itchy.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
Well you could try to revert to the stock radio? I mean that one did work just fine without updating the libs. Though I've no idea how to get the stock radio back....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dannejanne:
Don't even know which radio I had originally! Anywho it seems to fly by fast and stable now again in 4G after the last .30 reflash. Keeping my fingers crossed. Might have been something network related.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strker45:
I've been getting horrible battery life and android system is consuming everything.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strker45:
Edit: this is the correct picture.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] guardian1969:
Well do not know if it helps at all but I have 2 TMO G2's both have the .30 radio and both have the RIL updated for the .30 radio and the one that still has the factory Froyo on it gets 4G just fine and sitting right next to it is my phone with this ROM installed and I only seem to get 3G. Have tried the downgrade and back up have tried other radios like .16 and .17 and still it only displays as 3G on this ROM.

Love the ROM though don't get me wrong just giving some more info on the radio issue since I have 2 to work with on the same tower to know if it is network related or not.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
You must have some stray process running all the time! Mine only says 24%....I see you applied a different theme...have you made other changes? You can click on the system usage tab and see what is running....do you have like every social networking app known to man running at 1 min update interval? That could do it....next version is coming soon...when it does, give it a shot. Maybe it will work out better for you.

Thanks for your input.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strker45:
i dont use any social networking apps or anything its very strange. only thing i have running are, maps,swype,advanced task manager, adw launcher ex, beautiful widgets, messaging and wifi calling. i dont use set cpu i use tweaKr for everything. hopefully 4.2 will solve the issues can't wait til its out :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strker45:
so when might we be seeing 4.2 dropping ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
Yea it is strange... out of that list the thing I see that is probabaly causing probs is the task manager.....they are no longer recommended... android has a built in memory manager that works very well now...in the past it was not so good but these days I don't use a task manager at all. Try it with out any task manager. Maybe it will solve the prob...

ttyl

Ps...if you still feel you want more things cleared from memory use a2sd or an app like memfree manager to set your memory manager settings to a more aggressive level.

Re 4.2 release date....I can't give an eta this time...it is coming along nicely and we are hoping to release soon....but the team doesn't want to pin ourselves down to a release date....sorry
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
@strker45; I actually did notice that Swype used a lot of cpu for no reason, so I disabled it and now the cpu usage is back to normal.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
That could be it...I don't use swype...I use swiftkey..:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
I've run into several situations where swype is consuming a hell of a lot of memory (like 40mb.. wtf?!) and/or cpu. I just use the default android kb now for those rare situations when I don't use the phys kb.

never seemed to have much of an effect on battery, but since I'm anal about trying to keep my idle ram usage under 100mb, I had to ditch it. :)

ps: I keep an eye on several rom threads, and I have to say that I am digging the development you guys are putting into mexdroid. not so much a fan of the theme/ui, but that is just a matter of taste. keep up the good work, bros.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GhostZini:
I had something like that with my battery once but i just rebooted n it went away. Or maybe I reflashed rom. Either way it never came back. Seen it happen though.

Hello My Friends,

My G2 was recently, and sadly lost on a fishing trip. It actually jumped out of my pocket and commited suicide while I was bent over....

I've got a refurbished phone from the insuranc ecompany and have read tons of comments about not being able to root the "refurbed" phone....like tMo has done something to it. In my orginal onei used the unlockr method...

Can someone from this Mexdroid forum please point me in the proper and best way to root my phone again....hadn't tried yet...but I wanna be ready and rooted by the time 4.2 is out. I just need direction on the method. Please.... and Thank You

...and sorry I'm off topic...but I trust YOU guys
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] smokeuout:
I prefer gfree no adb
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ccriffman:
I used the method over at the unlockr when I did mine, but since then less "risky" methods have surfaced- the afforementioned "gfree" method is as good as any I suspect
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrbmg:
My phone screen broke and I too had a replacement refurb. I did exactly as the wiki says for our phones. The newest gfree and everything worked out fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ctraywick1:
Is there a specific reason to this? I ask cuz I'm close to my limit (tethered playing black ops on wii) and would nt mind going over but could you pm me why I would be doing it?

* Thank you. That is all.. I'm just sayin......
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
We are trying to determine if meXdroidMod v4.1.1 somehow natively defeats the throttling from tmobile. I believe a meXdroid user claimed to have gotten the text from tmobile saying they had gone over their cap and would have throttled speeds, but never experienced reduced bandwith while using meXdroidMod v4.1.1. So if you are close to your cap and the end of your billing cycle, it would be extremely helpful if you could go over your data cap on purpose and see if you actually get throttled using meXdroidMod.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lazy361:
Thanks for yalls responses....ill try Gfree... finger crossed
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dannejanne:
So we seem to have the same problem. Mine doesn't find 4G signal at all at the moment. And somehow it must be related to this rom since I have never had this much trouble getting fast speeds with any other rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
When I bought my Z (non branded) it had the .24 radio pre-installed, I can remember that when I upgraded the radio it only had 2 lib files instead of the current 3 when matching the RILs. I do notice the .30 radio isn't as good as the .24 radio, but battery life and wifi reception became much better, I often have 3G and not 3G+ (4G) but it does depend on the network load in my neighborhood (I live in the center of my city and near the biggest railway station in NL).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GhostZini:
Had a problem with 4g when i first flashed rom. Now i don't. All i did was switch radios from 4.30 to 4.16 then back to 4.30 again. I never matched rils either. Worked like a charm

meXdroid meXperia V4.1.1
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ccriffman:
I have always had the "stock" radio in my phone (.26) with all versions of this rom and never had any lack of 4g, if that's any help. Don't know if I'm just lucky or what.....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ctraywick1:
Well my billing cycle is up on the 2nd but I'll go over by this next weekend for sure and wil let you all know

* Thank you. That is all.. I'm just sayin......
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] smokeuout:
i went over my cap on mexdroidmod and i still got 3g/4g...but i also got those speeds with pyromecha. so i dont think the rom matters.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Marvelous0ne:
Newb question, Where to find the radios to try this? I really want my 4G connection back! Other than that issue. This is a great ROM!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GhostZini:
Check the radio files thread in dev section of forums. They list all on op page, links for downloads all there

Has anybody tried any of the different kernels with this? Or is that a bad idea?- Chris

PS- I luv this rom!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strker45:
would there be anyway to make it possible to have a flashable zip or something like that to implement the tweaKr script into another rom? such as miui or cyanogenmod or sense based roms?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
I know wds has this in his sights...but I couldn't say when...it will be real cool though! He is working hard on a great new version for the next rom..so at least you will be able to test it on meXdroidMod! No more vi! Or nano! Yay!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
That will work..as long as it is a .35 based kernel. But not all functionality of the tweaKr script will transfer over. you might have have those schedulars or the vdd sysfs interface...it depends on the kernel. That stuff is in the kernel.

Ps...smartass is back in the new kernel...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strker45:
Great News! can't wait for the next version. i think the tweaKr mod should be in everyrom.

In need of your help

I am looking for the odometer battery icons and the pink android battery icons. There is a dev by the name of Pack and all of his links are down....so does anyone have these icons? If so can you please post them. Looking for a 100 pngs plus the charging pngs. Thanks for all of your help.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
I know both of those sets are on UOT kitchen, you would have to change the android to pink, which is really easy. Couldn't you bake two apks with an icon set in each then extract?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
Is there a full wipe required for V4.2?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mjybarr:
Yes I could, but I thought it would be easier if someone already had them and didn't mind sharing them.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
Yes..a full wipe will be required...but worth it!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ccriffman:
You've got me chompin' at the bit for 4.2- any hints on how soon?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] waydownsouth:
Coming soon :), meXdroidMod has been my testing base thus far as it is a known quantity, with known features.

All going well, it'll be independent of device & ROM/kernel
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Marvelous0ne:
Thanks! I found the list and followed what people said to do and now I am back in 4G heaven! Of course it took a few times flashing the radio to get it to work.

Android System Music Library

Hello,

Not sure if this is a bug (or "feature") of this ROM, CyanogenMod, or Android itself, but I've noticed that when the Android Music Library rebuilds (i.e. after a wipe, SD remount, clear data, etc), the dates are messed up. For example, I use Mixzing. When I tell it to filter by songs added in the last day (or week, or any time frame for that matter), ALL songs are returned, regardless when they were actually saved on the SD card. If I add a song or two and tomorrow filter by "within 1 day", it'll show the new songs, as expected. Go to "within 2 days", and boom, all songs show, even though the songs have been on the SD for over a year. For whatever reason, when the Android Library DB is rebuilt, Mixzing (and I'm sure other programs) are treated the song date as when the DB scanned it, not when the "File Created" or "File Modified" date is.

Is there a way to fix this, or is this inherent in the Android OS itself? The only reason I post this question here in this forum is that I have meXdroid installed, but I am not sure if that is where the problem actually is. If there's a better place to ask this question, mods can move it at their leisure.

Thanks in advance!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] misfit61871:
The cube 3 music player that comes with the ROM is giving me issues. It will cut out for a split second, sometimes 4-5 times during one song, any ideas why?

Could it be cuz all my apps are on the sdext, but the actual MP3's are on the sd itself?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
That's odd, I never had an issue with the Cube music player, it took some getting used to but I love that thing. I had to flash a different rom w/ a stock music player and it kinda sucks to go back to, lol.

Sent from my self-aware G2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
I got the same with DoubleTwist player, somehow the phone starts to become unstable when playing mp3 sometimes, quite annoying. Normally after a reboot or setting the CPU speed higher will solve it though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] asj2583:
Can't wait to flash 4.2 on wife's phone. Used to be mine but recently got my hands on a sensation. Hopefully HTC unlocks the bootloader on the sensation so I can get flash happy but for now the g2 and my epic will do.

internal storage

Why i can use just 200mb of internal storage? i have 1,1gb and when i try to install apps in internall storage it says FULL, thats not good for me cause i dont like apps 2 SD :/ Just saying.... maby there is a solution?

Google Voice

Just wanted to see if anyone else has had this issue with this ROM. I setup Google Voice on my phone as normal but after the setup I went to change my Voice Mail settings back to Carrier because I prefer to use that VM system and everytime I change to carrier it would go back to Google Voice settings. So I did carrier again and manually put in the number for TMO VM but yet when someone calls if they go to VM they are routed to Google VM still even though my settings say carrier with the correct number there.

Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
sounds like an issue i had a while back with Google Voice, which turned out to be a server side issue where i had it set right in the phone, but the VM servers still had me set to use my google voice number (even after I had completely disconnected the service and discontinued the number for it) for my voicemail, not the default one from my carrier (which would drive anyone who tried to contact me insane), but I called T-mobile (my carrier, so feel free to sub your own if youre not using them), and they were able to fix the problem by reconnecting me to the right vm server.

Hope this helps, and if you have more questions, feel free to ask.

I love cube too! The interface is awesome, sometimes I open it up just to spin the cube lol.

Anyways, I have tried reboot and I'm OC'D to 1.2ghz

My favorite is to change it from cube to morph flow. I think it looks way better.

Fix Song Creation Dates on Android Music Library

I was able to tackle this problem myself! Like I said before, not sure if this is just Android that creates a new DB in this matter, or something else, but here's what I did to fix the problem so that all songs on the Android Music Library are shown as the day saved on the SD card, not the day the DB "seen" them.

# adb shell stop
# adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases/external-fc303da9.db

Back up the .db file (now on the PC) for safekeeping.

Open SQLite Browser and run the following SQL query:

UPDATE audio_meta SET date_added = date_modified

Save DB

# adb push external-fc303da9.db /data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases/external-fc303da9.db
# adb shell start

Reboot phone!

(Note: The actual .db file may be called something different on your phone. There also was an "internal.db" file in the same location, but it contained nothing.)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] misfit61871:
I'm just curious....but why would you want to bog down your internal mem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jayb222:
What if he'd rather have the room on his cards for pics, music, etc. Like I do? I Leave apps on my internal because it's alot of space that I'd rather use than not. I mean it does me no good just sitting there empty. Might as well use it for apps. More than enough room.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lazy361:
Is there an option somewhere in this rom to "kill app" when holding down the back button? Like to completely back out and kill whatever app it is u have open?

I've ran into times where I'm pressing back and it will go from pages of my brower, to my calculator, to my calls, back to browser, etc.

I think it'd help
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CamoGeko:
Get Super Manager from the Market, its free and a great tool for rooted phones. Its what I use.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
Yes. It is in settings/applications/development/stop app via long press back button...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lazy361:
Thank U Geko95gek...although that's an interesting app, its not what I was looking for.

TheNewGuy...Thanks! #LifeSaver
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] misfit61871:
Good point and I like to have room for music etc etc as well, so I made a1 gig ext partition for all my apps, cache etc, which in turn gives me 6.9 gigs left on my sd. I have all everything running from the ext part and only sys running on the internal.

My phone actually performs much much better and 1 gig is enough for tons of apps and internal is not bogged down with anything except essential items.

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ryandaneri:
Well try patiently waiting cause its not coming out in June. Prolly mid July if not august. They just like to keep you on edge saying its coming along nicely...PLEASE.... we are waiting on cm7's next STABLE release....i.m.o.....cause what fantastic thing takes like 2 months to dev now-a-days? Not hating cause I LOVE MEXDROID.....but be honest....come on. You can make Ur own version of cm7 in less than a day...just sayin....I know tweakr is one of the problems seeing as how its been out for ever for a CM7 BASED ROM..but its not available for cm7 itself hhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmm....info mexdroid team??? Love you...........
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
Ok I am confused...since when has tweaKr been out forever? We invented tweaKr ourselves....it has been given a complete overhaul by waydownsouth so that when we release it, others will now be able to contribute to it with there own custom modules. and the groundwork has been done to make it a universial add on for any rom/kernel. And I have given the framework-res a complete overhaul...

You are correct that I can compile a rom from cm git hub in just a couple hours...but that's not all that goes into a meXdroidMod ROM. And it is true that we could have gotten this release out faster...but we all have our own lives and do this as a hobby for fun...so....the new release is coming soon..

When you ask? Any day now...maybe tonight...maybe tomorrow...when these last few items get resolved we will release it.....I am not going to give an eta because then we are obligated to release it. We have our own goals to achive with each release, and when we are happy we will release it. I hope you understand.

Thanks for your support.

Still losing 4G stuck on 3G

I love this rom never had problems until now. :(

So far I tried downgrading the radio (I had 26.08.04.30 when I first flashed the rom) to 26.04.02.17 and upgrading again, I got 4g but it disappeared after a day or so, I wiped and reflashed everything to no avail, the only time I get 4g is when I just flash a radio but it doesn't last.

Side to side with my wife's G2 running HTCClay Super CM7 Rom with 26.08.04.30 radio, she has 3-4 bars of 4G at home and I have full bars on 3G.

Anyone else having this problem, never had that problem in the last version 3.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dannejanne:
Same here. I only get 4G for a couple of minutes every time I flash a different radio and then it goes away again soon enough.

I mean, I can still get 4G outside and in various places just like before. But the 4G is gone here at home and at other places were I have always had it with other roms. But the speed is good anyway so it's not a deal breaker for me. But I hope it gets fixed somehow in future releases.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] d3mon_fx:
True not a deal breaker, just a minor annoyance, I love this rom.

Eagerly awaiting V4.2:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheRomMistress:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LikeaG2root:
Same here. I dont get a constant H icon but speed is good. I tried flashing to a different radio from the latest and same thing. I then returned to latest radio and still no change. Speed seems to be good but just makes one wonder why no H icon?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MajorTom_:
i never get the H icon but I get the 4G icon every now and then.
