Good idea...it is true that the "bugs" in V4 were not something the average user would even notice.....but they have been corrected now and it would be better for us all to be on the same thing...that way advice given in the thread will help more people than just the person asking, and we (the team) can learn what you guys like/dislike and make the next release even better!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] asj2583:
Actually I did. Ok, how can I reflash the stock kernal for this rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
The kernel is not available seperatly yet...maybe we will add it to the op later.....We didn't release this kernel separately because we wanted to test on our rom first so....

make a backup before trying different kernels....and remember ours has features others may not and the full functionality of the tweaKr script will only work on kernels with the sysfs baked in...and we have an additional i/o scheduler (vr) in ours to try out...

I recomend everyone use the tweaKr script to find the lowest voltage for each cpu freq...it will GREATLY improve batt life!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] asj2583:
Thanx , yeah should of made a backup. Next time but yeah take the link down regading the kernal.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ccriffman:
I never saw any problems with V4- can I install 4.1 over V4? Or would I have to fully wipe and install? This is a terrific rom- Chris
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] setspeed:
Me too, no issues whatsoever with V4. I'd prefer not to have to wipe, now I've got everything set up the way i like it.

Can I flash without wiping?

EDIT: I have had one persistent problem, which also occurred in V3 and well as V4. Flash videos don't work, I get sound only but no video. Anyone else experienced this problem?

I have updated my Flash to 10.3 but no difference.

I have not searched for this issue, so apologise if it's already been identified/answered.

EDIT: Just seen a couple of pages back someone else had the same Flash issue, and downgraded to the last version to fix it Anyone got a Flash 10.2 apk they can give me, as I don't have a backup?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
No! Do not flash without wiping, the framework got some tweaks and if you don't wipe first you may carry v4 issues into v4.1
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
Pimped out my meXdroid V4.1 at UOT kitchen. I have the zip flashable in recovery if anyone wants it :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] asj2583:
sure man ill have a go at it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] asj2583:
v4.1 is great but im having an issue where ill get a boot animation freeze. like i said earlier in a post ill get an endless boot animation. ill be able to unlock the phone and turn on/off screen but that's it and it only happens with the stock kernal. i remember why i flashed another kernal but if i do this then youtube wont work. anyone can tell me why its doing this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] asj2583:
http://www.androidng.com/download/Flash_10.2_leak.apk

this is what i have running in my phone and i have no issues regarding video playback.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
Here is the link to the .zip I used. This will change your font, battery meter, and bootanimation. Just flash it in recovery, you must have Clockwork 3.x and up. This is only compatible with meXdroid V4.1. Be sure to wipe your cache and dalvik before flashing, but do NOT wipe data or factory reset.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3Y5NG0V3

Edit: Don't be alarmed that your device will take five or so minutes on first boot, it is not broken
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] asj2583:
Thanx will give a try
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
This may be a dumb question but is everyone wiping dalvik-cache after doing a factory reset before flashing the rom?

This might be the problem with boot animation hangs....I can't replicate it so I don't know...

I just checked and from my testing utube will still be broken if you flash a .32 kernel...even if you install that leaked 10.2 flash player.....for those having probs try this....

Reboot to recovery...

Factory reset wipe

Wipe dalvik-cache from the advanced menu

Mount sdcard to comp

Delete android folder,data folder,lost.dir .trash and every folder you see with a . In the front of the name....then

Unmount sdcard

Flash mexdroidmod v4.1

Flash xapps

Reboot

And wait......it will reboot three times....and then it might take a while to load...wait.....

After it loads and gets to the google sign in screen...wait.....about 10 min.....

Then...sign in...let it sync....then reboot one last time and again wait a about 10 min before you start setting it up....

It seems silly but this is the best way to make sure things run fast and smooth... at least you can say you tried everything....haha.....if that doesn't work then you can send a logcat to paste bin and we can take a look.

This procedure is not always needed but for those having probs it will make sure you are starting with a clean slate and we can debug any real issues.

How does netflix fair on this rom? Is it still choppy like others?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
Netfilx works great for me. It is obviously better on wifi....but I can't say I have noticed any choppieness either way.....I just signed up for netflix recently because it worked so well.....but maybe that's just me...make a backup and give it a shot..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] waydownsouth:
Hi all,

thought I had better make an appearance seeing as how TheNewGuy is talking me up! Bit over the top, but, it's all good... :o

Hot tip:

screen off profiles in setCPU are not required with this ROM... in fact they're

not

recommended!

Here's why:

There is a tiny shell script running as a system service that takes care of this for you...

I was never happy with the lag whilst using setCPU screen off profiles, due to the fact that it runs as an app on top of Android... there can be quite a bit of delay in Android reporting that the screen is on & that screen on event actually making it through to setCPU... particularly when you've got an incoming call.

I stumbled upon something pretty cool in the underlying Linux file system (c/o Ziggy & collins_ph) that makes use of 'blocking' files wrt the current screen state & wrote a very simple script to exploit that.

This will work completely independant of whatever governor (excluding smartass) whatever frequency range you choose & any other setCPU profiles you may use...

I'll package it up into an flashable zip sometime soon, so that everyone can benefit... this was just a preview for the meXdroidMod crowd.

as for tweaKr... I'll follow up in another post.

HTH

Now about that tweaKr script................
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] asj2583:
Ill give this a try if I cont to have issues. Reflashed rom and was good to go. Is dalvik wipe or factory reset needed if ur using superwipeg2+ and superwipeextg2 and regarding the folders with a . In front why not create a recovery flashable zip to do this or mod superwipeg2 to do this? Just seems like a pain doing this manually.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GhostZini:

I could not agree more. All of you are fantastic. This is the best rom EVER! My wife on the other hand loves both of our phones. Reason being we both have meXdroidmod V4.1 running.

Love the font. =) and the boot animation!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gwanatu:
I have the same problem; Flash videos don't display any video in the stock browser, but the Youtube app works fine, and Flash videos work fine in Opera. Uninstalling Flash, installing the "leaked 10.2" apk and updating to the newest 10.3 release fixes it!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ch4dr0x:
I'm having the dreaded "Searching for GPS..." bug in this release. Worked fine in V3. Did all the steps listed in post one plus used the SuperWipe before flashing the ROM. Anyone else? Been sitting at "Searching for GPS..." for about 5-10 minutes now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] epeets:
having strange problems. First the 3G/4G signal is unstable. Sometimes, it works fine other times, I can't even get into market. There's areas where I used to get great signal that I now get almost nothing. Wifi Calling just force closes. I uninstalled and re-installed it but doesn't help at all. I've already wiped & reflashed the rom more than once. I'll try wiping my ext partition clean and flashing it again to see what happens but if nothing I'll go back to V3.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ch4dr0x:
I actually fixed this on my own - a reboot did the trick. However, it seems the screen takes two seconds to wake up at times. Not a huge deal, great work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
Thank you! All credit goes to UOT kitchen for making it so easy to do!

Nice working done for V4.1

I feel like V3 was improvement for V2, but V4 is a whole new thing :D

I came across some strange bugs I haven't see before in V4.1

Today someone called me and the UI didn't respond fast, after that the "receiving call" screen squeezed and aligned to the left like a broken old CTR monitor error...

I hope I described that right :)

Anyway I locked the screen, then unlocked it after that everything went back to normal and answered that call...

I'm using G2 with @MJ's configs for CPU :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mjybarr:
Ok....so I found a fix to the whole 4G issue. I flashed radio 04.16 and now 4G is back!! I don't know if this will fix yours or not. Tonight I will try and flash back to 04.30 radio to see if 4G remains consistant. Just wanted to give you all a heads up on this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ch4dr0x:
In addition to the slow response on the "Wake up", I've noticed that occasionally my keyboard is impossible to type with. E will open E-mail, G will open Google, etc. Swype doesn't have any issues. Not a big deal, rebooting fixes it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] coszy:
On my side, im seeing 4G icon on 04.30 radio(with matching rils)

@PaganAng3l: I was experiencing slow boot times & a couple of users had issues w/ high OC...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strker45:
I just noticed something very interesting, not sure if it really has to do with this rom tho. But I believe the way the build prop is set up it allows you to get around T-Mobiles throttling. I got the message from T-Mobile but I'm still getting full speed downloads and everything. Has anyone else noticed this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
Ok I got a job to finish, but I'll attempt to replicate, and if I can get it to do it, I'll give y'all a logcat..... only how do I do that, lol. I have never gotten a logcat report before.... excuse my semi-noobness lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
@mjybarr: I flashed the .16 wwe radio and had 4G until I matched the ril and reebooted. What ril is baked into this rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
Hahaha! That would be epic! I'm gonna try it this bill cycle to confirm. God I hope you're right, confirming that meXdroid V4.1 is the best rom on G2!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strker45:
I'm using the .04.30 radio idk if that had anything to do with it. Maybe it was just a fluke on T-Mobiles side.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mjybarr:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mjybarr:
The ril that is baked is to stock CM7, with that being said I'm not sure what ril goes with what preferred radio.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
By the way, I've found that Go Launcher with the tron theme goes GREAT with this theme, just a personal preference though. I love Go Launcher because it will theme ALL of your icons, even if they aren't included in the icon pack, it's awesome. I did have to change the wallpaper though, cuz the tron theme has crap wallpapers, unless your into light cycles lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strker45:
I think someone is a little jealous, just sayin.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
Ok I'll keep on tinkering with the radio and rils and see if i can come up with anything too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
LOL I tend to agree.... but please lets not feed the troll and stay on topic. Haters gonna hate, nothing we can do about it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sparksco:
No the fact being is I know the person who made a script in this rom, yet I don't see his name on the op
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strker45:
Perhaps you should PM the Dev's of this rom instead of feeding it on the forum. However I doubt these Dev's would lift a scipt without giving credit to the creator. Could It be possible they created the same/a similar script without knowing someone else had already done so? Idk, but no drama needed on the forum.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
yeah? You got any proof? cuz I tend not to believe trolls (like you)

You can use the UOT kitchen to change some of the theme. The rom is listed in the kitchen list.

Hey if I wanted to unpartition my sd card, could I just reformat my sd card in windows to fat32 or should I use gparted? I've never unpartitioned before. Please reply quickly :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mjybarr:
So for those that have flashed the new meXdroid kernel, have you experienced any issues?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
Yes, booting is much faster now, I haven't had a chance to test anything else, I'm at work doing this. How do I unpartition my sd card? Please help myjbarr!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mjybarr:
Just re-format your sdcard. Just make sure you save whatever you want before you reformat.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] RL72:
I haven't had any issues at all since flashing the new kernel. Boot was faster - scrolling and entering/exiting apps is faster for me also. =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaganAng3l:
I tried that, but the ext partition was still there, I ended up using easeus partition manager for windows and that got rid of the ext partition. Now I have 7.4gb of space on my sd card out of 8gb, is that normal?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mjybarr:
That sounds about right.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sparksco:
The script apk remover was made be lithid. I still have the original one that he wrote before firerat made his edits. Lithid is the author, I don't have to prove it, it clearly states it in the script. And just because you edit something doesn't make it yours or ok to distribute without giving credit on the op, because not everyone is going to look in the scripts.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
The Lithid script in question (apk-remover.txt) is a carry over from the meXdroidMod Froyo rom.

Back when sparksco was on the team, in fact, if memory serves, it was added by him...

I don't recall credits having been given then either.

Sorry, it was a minor indiscretion back then, but, in light of this revelation, we have now updated the first post to recognize Lithid's work.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Icon on Status BAR

Hi my friends,

I've been using this customROM for a while and I really like it. Overall it's working fast and I like the theme. Only negative I've found is the camcorder not working properly since it freezes a little bit while recording.

Can somebody tell me how can I take out that icon between battery and clock in the status bar? I've been trying on the cyanogen settings but couldnt find it :S

Thanks in advance and sorry for my "possible noob or mistopic question" :) !
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gwanatu:
That icon is there if you have alarms set. I'm not sure there is a way to remove it honestly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mjybarr:
Try flashing the mirrors if you have not already. Wipe data/factory, wipe dalvk cach, wipe battery stats, then flash rom and then gapps. My camcorder works fine, market works fine, gmail sync works fine. As far as the icon, go to clock and uncheck alarm.

Dude I know you have tried everything.....so I have no idea what the problem could be??????? Does V1 do the same??? You tried the mediafire ones and the dropbox ones too....right??

Hey I think I fiannly found the reason behind the screen not always awaking when I press the power button. I uuse poweramp for my music player and whenever I seem to be playing music and have poweramp open the screen won't turn on right away. But when its not on I don't have the problem. Not sure if its all music players but definitely poweramp. Anyway u know how to fix this?

I'm guessing you are OC'ed to 1.516ghz? Bring it down to 1.209 or 1.401, as they both have a lower voltage.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mejorguille:
Gingerbread runs on ext4 while froyo does ext3. You need to flash clockwork recovery 3.0.0.2 to switch back and forth between the two. You can find it in the cm nightly thread.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] carlos_polanco:
Thank you guys. The Icon I was asking for was the Alarm icon. Now the homescreen seems cleaner :D

Sorry for the noob question!

About the Camcorder: I went from Stock Europe ROM to this one and always do a "Wipe-Everything" process. Anyways I dont use camcorder that much.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Freaknik:
I take that back its only when poweramp is open and screen is locked, the screen will turn on and unlock normal, but not when I slide up to unlock.

Camcorder fixed everybody, yay!!! I was being retarded. Im such a tool. Instead of pressing camcorder button i was sliding circle over to that camcorder icon n i guess this is why i got freeze. Total noob move. Lol. Now to get my paid apps workin
