But its so much fun getting shot at and shooting at people. Its kind of weird. The only time I really felt scared for my life was right after an ied blew off or when we had improvised rocket devices shot at our compound. Man to man combat was no contest. Afgahnistan is a different story though. Those ****ers will come out and fight face to face in company sized elements. They know what they are doing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
So have we established if flashing back to 6.1.1 is possible without downgrading cwm now or did I miss that somewhere?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
And what do we have on this fresh build that I am downloading?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
That does seem scary but I think we should take this convo out of the thread for now on and stick to pm's but I am gonna head to bed for now cause it is 4am here

About the recovery, we don't know, people have tried it and got errors on the restore of pre cm7 nandroid backups so I would assume that the new support is not fully written in yet but the groundwork is there

Works for me. I don't see myself flashing back anytime soon. Thanks for the work you are putting in. Gonna flash build 19 then crash. Gotta wake up in 2.5 hours.

Flashed b#19. And trackball wake doesn't work (it is enabled in CM settings), but trackball unlock works fine. Is it only me or, maybe, it is a known bug? I have Desire Z and use DZ keylayout patch.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] phillipcooke1:
Great work on these builds. Thank you. Does anybody elses camera fc when switching to video. Cheers.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tweezydak1d:
Yeah I get the fc when switching

Same here.

Wow, action night and I was sleeping :D.. thanks Thatguy32404, running B#19 :)..

Chenaged my SetCPU to 1209/368 Interactive so I will see how it will be acting.. feels snappier for now and no wake issues with CRT.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] phillipcooke1:
Camera works on b18 ok but fc on b19. To fix this we need someone smarter than me. Cheers.

It seems all the games can't launch under build#18, including angry birds, dungeon defenders, need for speed and so on. Anyone notices this?

For those who are having trouble with ADB on W7x64 and to spare them the extra search and because it's relevant here:

Make sure you have the SDK's USB device drivers on hand and open the device manager. Manually force it to use the SDK's "Android ADB Interface" driver for the unrecognised Android phone device. It'll complain a bit but once that's done the ADB interface will work again as expected.

EDIT: and for those who have trouble with USB storage mode of the microSD: look for the MyHTC device in device manager and change it's driver. Among the compatible ones it'll list USB storage. Select that and you're good to go.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
No doubt I'll get slammed for this, but I've downloaded various versions of GApps and installed them from bootloader, but when I reboot I still do not have and Google Apps installed.

Any help would be appreciated

New recovery 3.0 is installed and you did mount system,mount data

before flashing gapps package?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
Where can I get New Recovery 3.0?

EDIT

Nevermind, found it

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
Flashing gapps package with old 2.x recoverys don`t work!

To get camera working push across an older Camera.apk & video works.

I think the commit to enable the HD video option broke it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] phillipcooke1:
Good stuff. Camera sorted on b19. Thanks for the info.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
Silly question, but how do you install new CWR 3.0?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] witm01:
Push recovery image to sdcard via ADB, then open an ADB shell and flash via flash_image:

adb push [local path to recovery image] /sdcard/recovery.img

adb shell

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

exit
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
You have the "eng hboot" installed on you phone,then

you can do via fastboot commands:

Boot the phone into Fastboot mode by holding Volume Down and pressing power

From terminal/command prompt, type:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Or:

You can flash via Terminal Emulator app which is included

at the ROM:

Put the recovery image file on the SD card (not in any folders).

Open the Terminal program and type the following (with hitting enter at the end of each line):

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/name-of-recovery.img

In the above text, replace name-of-recovery.img with the name of your recovery image (make sure the .img is on the end).

Phone should pause for a second and then show you a new blank line. Turn it off and back on by holding down Home and Power to ensure it flashed correctly. Done.

I did it without problems.

First I flashed the ROM via 2.5.1.3 ClockworkMod Recovery,then

flashed new Recovery,mount/ system and mount/ data via Recovery menu

and after this flashed the gapps package!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
Cheers mate. Still getting used to android. Give me WM and I can do anything, but android........

Here you go :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
Or you can download cwm3.0.0.2, move it to root of sd card, rename to recovery.img, and then open terminal and run these commands.

$ su

# mount -o rw,remount /system

# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

# reboot recovery

All done. No need to use adb if you don't want to.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MRCLrider:
This isn't really an important observation, but has anyone noticed on the ABOUT screen that it states processor information and memory information. Makes it look polished imo.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] donkey72:
Agreed. Love the pull down power bar being back as well.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ohyonghao:
Finally got CM7 on my phone, the VoIP feature is awesome, works well with callcentric which I was having trouble with through csipsimple.

I'm overclocked while plugged in to 1.5ghz and have wake issues with the crt but it comes on once I unplug it.

That issue goes away when I change the priority on my profiles to have the screen-off above the charging priority.

Screen-off is 245/245
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
Thanks everyone for there help. I now have Build 19 and GApps on my device

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wrsg:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] louyaorong:
dungeon defenders can't play on b18 and b19, restore to b16 and can play the game now. anyone can confirm or it's just me? other games work fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DToX69:
force closes on me as well on b19

I didnt wipe before flashing so that might be it, did you wipe first?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bigtrouble77:
Curious if other are having instability in Google Earth... it restarts whenever I try to access the overlays. Microbes is still unstable as well. Other than that, things seem to be very stable, very pleased to see the CM parts now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DToX69:
Still having some issues with the screen off animation, took me like 8 power button presses to get the screen to actually show maybe 7 didnt really count but it was quite a few :(

on B19 btw
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
I'm not on build 19 but I'm running my own build compiled around the same time and trackball wake doesn't work for me either. Though trackball unlock is also not working.

I posted this a while back. Nice to know someone else is able to get things working using the same method. People were reporting that it wasn't working for them and I'm convinced they just weren't doing it right ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KiNG OMaR:
I see things are coming along nicely, we shouldn't be too far from a stable release soon! :) These builds get better every time ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fidyyuan:
So..the current issues with the rom are possibly Camcorder and screen off. Is the battery and GPS fine? I'm tempted to make the jump but I need my GPS working 100%.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kundica:
The build prior to the addition of CMparts is worth it. The newest source has some issues with the camcorder. I also find the battery on my newest build from source to be horrific(Although, this was my first time running the CM kernel). Left my phone off the charger last night and it drained 50% in 7 hours. The kernel I've been testing before the build prior to CMparts drained 50% in 24 hours, with moderate use of the phone.

GPS is working great for me on all builds.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fidyyuan:
Hm...but Build 19 (the latest one) has CRT and 18 doesn't...right? Would Pershoot's kernel help battery or would it be a horrible idea since that was for 2.2?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
I think people have reported that Pershoot's kernel will work with CM7 but I don't really see the need. The stock CM kernel is already undervolted and gets great battery life. Moving to Pershoot's doesn't gain anything in my eyes.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joshlusignan:
Uh oh...lol just booting now, i hope. Gonna stay up longer than I thought I guess.:p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ultma75:
This breaks Google sync not sure how to get it back

[ROM]cm7 gingerbread flavor

[Recovery]clockwork 3.0.0
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
Well, I was on cm7. Using CW3.0, I couldn't get the file to flash no matter what. Just downgraded the recovery back to 2.5.1.3, and wiped cache. Dalvik wouldn't do anything oddly. Flashed this file over, and it installed fine. Guess the problem is with the recovery itself. Still can't flash anything after flashing the ROM though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dstroy12:
im getting the same problem with the gapps flashing. its not fully installing. says finished after 2 seconds. is this working?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
Nope, I flashed CM7 something like 9 times, each time restoring a CM6.1.1 backup afterwards, using CWM 2.5.1.3 without any issues at all.

The only issue between the two of them that I'm aware of is that CWM 3.0 will probably fail to restore a backup that was made by CWM 2.x, whereas CWM 2.x can't make a backup of CM7 at all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] master.peterm:
ok restore didn't work, fastboot flashed old recovery, restoring backup now, lesson learned, will wait for official CM, lol

Status: restored, boot image, System restoring data..... lol just want to sleep with a working phone lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dstroy12:
same here.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rhcp011235:
Did you guys flash with old recovery to CM7? and then flash CW3?

Or flash CW3 then wipe then flash?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] master.peterm:
nope tried to flash with new recovery, then fastboot flashed old recovery and restoring backup
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
flashing cm7 with older 2.5.1.3 recovery, then flashing new recovery, and flashing zips ith cw3.0.0 works fine.

However, having a bunch of installed apps showing up missing, and refusing to re-install. May have to roll back sadly, lol. That, and I miss the laser beam screen off animation.

edit: So yeah, the gapps aren't flashing. Guess it's back to my old cm7 backup, lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] osho741:
i am currently restoring cm nightly build 64 with clockwork recovery 3.0 I did this by making the backup with 3.0 and not 2.5.whatever.

well it appeared to work as the recovery screen said backup was complete but now its stuck at the htc screen so i guess it wont work that way either lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] master.peterm:
k back to working rom and recovery, that was a waste of an hour lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vandale:
lol what happened?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joshlusignan:
Finally got it to boot by flashing CW 2.5.1.3 and then CM 7.

Gapps didnt seem to flash properly, didnt even give me an option to sign into google account in "Accounts and Sync". Wifi would not turn on...so yeah restoring old ROM now. This stuff seems to be working for everyone else so must be something on my side, fd up download or something.

Also for anyone that was asking, video is still not functional.

Thanks again for the upload, will have to play with it more later on.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ShotSkydiver:
Nobody else is getting an endless reboot? Flashed over new recovery, flashed CM from this thread, then GAPPS, no errors, rebooted, CM logo comes up then goes to "welcome to HTC Vision", freezes and shows CM logo again, does this endlessly until battery pull. I've tried redownloading and reflashing everything, nothing works. Anyone know what's wrong?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] master.peterm:
that new recovery sucked..... long story short tried flashing like 3 roms didn't work so i got the old recovery, then restored a backup.....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
Reboot, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik. Flash ROM, reboot. Don't bother with Gapps yet. Just see if the ROM will boot up. Process of elimination.

btw, flashing gapps didn't work for me. They just didn't show up at all after the "install"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] T.C.P:
i flashed these GAPPS and they work yay :D 2mb smaller than the other one posted...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rhcp011235:
Do you have the new market with those gapps?

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] T.C.P:
no its the old market
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kundica:
Well, as far as CRT goes, I've been compiling myself with it in for days now so that's not really an issue for me.

I couldn't get pershoots to boot so I ended up compiling a kernel myself from the htc-kernel-msm7x30 tree. Posted the link some pages back in the thread if you want to give it a shot. OCs to 1.5 and the battery life is definitely better than the current source build. Some of Gridlock's earlier builds have the crt included, but you'll need to test the build, because I'm not sure if those builds have other issues.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] klmsu19:
Well that wouldn't make sense because even prior to CMParts it was a CM kernel in Thatguy's ROMs. It has been for at least 6+ builds now, so that's not the issue if there is one.

No point really, even on 2.2 as of a few weeks ago Pershoot and CM had nearly the same kernel anyways.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bigtrouble77:
Camcorder is still an issue in b20 and microbes is gone... for now. Google Earth is still unstable. Not sure about gps. ADW drawer scrolls better, it was running really poorly for me on the previous builds.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fidyyuan:
Oh weird. There's Build 20 out right now. That was fast lol. Are changes for these builds listed anywhere?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
There was some commits on usb mount so maybe the usb is working easier for most

And yes build 20 was just made

sent from my cm7src powered htc g2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kundica:
I'm not saying that the kernel is the issue, but something it the build is acting different. 50% from a fully charged phone in 7 hours while not being used, you got to be kidding me. BTW, I'm not referring to Thatguy's builds in particular since I'm using ones I've compiled myself. Although, they should run the same if nothing is being altered.

If you're getting great battery life with the included kernel, then use it. I thought the battery life I was getting was subpar to what I got on 6.1.1 with pershoot's so I compiled a kernel myself.

TBH, what I see as one of the more important parts of CMparts(trackball wake) is not even working yet, so it's not adding a whole lot for me other than breaking my camcorder.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fidyyuan:
Would downloading a video recording app and using that work instead of using the stock app? Guess I'll make the jump now and see what happens :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DToX69:
Anyone know of b20 has the screen off animation on? the animation seems to be giving me issue :( had to revert back to b18 with it off to run smoother
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] T.C.P:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mikey:
Im using Qik for camcorder and it works.

Using Vignette for camera
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] klmsu19:
Build 20 has it, but you can easily turn it off if you go into Display settings and turn off animations.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DJMartini:
Viedo on camera FCs on b20 still ... going to use 18s Camera.apk
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
I have thought about compiling the kernel's along with the builds also but I keep seeing other phone's prebuilt kernels updated and I wanna try to keep these as close to stock source code so guys like cyanogen and the other devs working on these are getting feedback from us in these threads.

Make sure you guys opt in for the data stats in cm so they are getting an idea for the demand and encourage them to continue working hard on this

Now for battery life

Mine is complete crap but then again my usage is crazy heavy right now, answer several threads, pm's , twitter, gtalk has my phone always in use and I am getting about 4 hours of battery use which is better than the 2 hours I was getting with this heavy use

I flashed the gapps listed on ThatGuy's website and the market looks to be the new one. However, I just tried to make a purchase and it wouldn't move past authorizing purchase. Is this CM7's fault or my fault?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
Hi guys,

just few observations, first of all CRT animation, running for a full day now on 1209/368 interactive and only once or twice I hade wake issue which was easily solved by pressing power on key 2 more times, not a big deal. OC'd to 1017 it never happened.

Regarding battery life, with medium usage, I have charged it yesterday evening on build 17 or 18 if I am correct, used it, flashed it to build 19 this morning and it got empty in the evening, so almost 24h.. with flashing in between, OC'd to 1209/368 interactive.. don't think it is that bad.

Other than that I am pretty happy, have issues with Camera 360 that at some point just keeps Flash on all the time and crashes, but I am not even thinking of reporting at this eary stage..

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jcrompton:
I was just getting ready to ask what might be a dumb question BUT since we often don't need to do a full wipe when going from one Build to the next -- do we need to full wipe with these "upgrades"?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] klmsu19:
No. And as far as I know a full wipe isnt needed for small ROM upgrades in the same version
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fidyyuan:
I did a full wipe and jumped from 6.1.1 to CM 7 build 20 and the video force closes on me.

After asking about this on IRC, turns out that's caused from having (or having used in the past, perhaps?) a bad gapps package with signature issues.

I ended up wiping the phone clean, installing a cm7src build, and flashing gapps-gb.zip (which you should be able to find by googling for it -- should md5 to 96c89e6f21b2cc5c9e43db71dc30b963) rather than the gapps package available at gridlock.euroskank.com.
