Fresh install will need a wipe and also rom manager does not support these recoveries so you will have to manually go into recovery.

Pretty much. Some people my need to go into mounts and mount /system and /data and then after flashing go into advanced menu and run fix permissions
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Blueoval24:
Thanks for the reply! Nice to have a starting point to troubleshoot a problem. I've been thinking abouut making the switch to EX and this might have convinced me. Ill try messing around with the launchers and see anything comes up. Thx again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
Well I'm a retard so I need it broken down a little more. I have the gb rom zip and gb apps zip files on my sd card. Where do I go from there? I don't want to venture off and try things on my own just yet.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Make sure they are on the root of your SD card. Boot into Clockworkmod Recovery. Wipe cache, data, and dalvik (dalvik is under the advanced menu). Then flash from zip > choose zip and you're good to go!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
Right on. Thx. I will give it a wirl. I'm really curious to see what all the gb cm7 buzz is about.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
#crackflashers if you are watching @cmsrc than you see new commits, the build script has been started! Look for rollout of b16 in your respective device folders starting in about 45 minutes. Script goes in order of vision, glacier, ace, passion, bravo, supersonic, sholes and last but not least inc
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
All good. Got it goin. I did sit for about 8 minutes waiting for my wipe to start... I forgot that the trackpad is used for selecting and I pressed the power button and watched the screen for a while. Lol. Does pershoots kernel work with this rom? Or am I better off wih this kernel?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
Pershoot's kernel does not work for this unless it has been updated. Best way to find out is to do a nandroid and try it, if it doesn't (doesn't get past the first screen or bootloops) then restore your nandroid
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
Alright, had to stop the script to get the newest commits and we are back to building build 16, anything I miss I will get on #17
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] osho741:
anything new and exiciting been added to the builds in the last day?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DJMartini:
#16 just got posted, but not sure what's in it ... getting ready to flash now actually
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
What's the deal with internet calling option on #15? Is this in place of wifi calling?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
That is sip/voip calling, it is new in gingerbread and supports it natively. Use app like sipdroid for it. T-mobile's wifi calling is not working yet
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
Nice. Now I'm sure this is somewhere in the thread but while I look, what's the fix for doing a nandroid backup? I've got cwm 3.0 but when I get to the md5 part it fails.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
Anyone else having poor battery life on this rom? I'm running 1209mhz freq. On demand. Only a few widgets everything consolidated to a single homescreen and about 75% screen brightness.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
If you are running a custom kernel there is a possibility that it is conflicting with something in the rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
For making a nandroid or restore one? Restoring to a froyo backup is impossible but if you are getting errors with backup then try one of the different recoveries. I am still running the first one and can use both backup and restore with no problem
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
I'm getting errors making a backup of this rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
I am running the kernel that came with the rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
Try one of the other recoveries posted, it should have no problem backing up

On the battery life, I haven't updated yet since I am out and these build are compilied and upload by a script so I haven't gotten the chance to flash build 16 yet so I can't say
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
Are you sure you're running ClockworkMod 3.0, and not just Rom Manager 3.0?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
Ok thx.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
Yes I am sure. Cwm is 3.0.0 and rm is 3.0.0.2. I am running the correct one. "Cw orange"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
Then you should probably try reflashing CWM again, if possible with a different file than last time. It's most probable that the one you flashed was corrupt, because it shouldn't have any problems whatsoever with making backups of CM7, or restoring them.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
I will give it a try. Thx.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DJMartini:
Apologizes for the noob question, but I didn't do a full wipe and installed #16 over 6.1.1 ... All my programs/settings (data) is still there, however the most important program I need to use 'QuickOffice' isn't on CM7.

My Titanium backup is only the free version, however I remember my stock Rom came with Quickoffice and when I flashed to CM6.1.1 I didn't loose it.

I'm also noticing WiFi Calling app gone too. Is there a way to get these back or do I need the full purchased version of Titanium backup to get them on the CM7?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
Primatage, would you be interested in putting together instructions for flashing this roms, known issues and fixes. You seem knowledgable and have been following these threads well.

I wanna put instructions and a basic what works together and put it up in the device folders for people to see cause they are not just getting the builds from this forum and then they come in asking repeat questions

Dm me if interested,

If primatage is not interested is anyone else?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
Wifi calling does not work with yet and I don't know about ouickoffice
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DJMartini:
Yea I know that WiFi calling doesn't work yet, but I was trying to relate it to the quickoffice that they are gone for some reason and trying to figure out how to get them back.

Titanium backup shows they are grayed out with a line through them.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
I don't think TiBackup is going to solve your problem. The WiFi calling app doesn't work (and is made unavailable by the system) in CM7, which is a known issue and has been mentioned by Cyanogen before. I'm not so sure about QuickOffice but I think it's also been mentioned in another thread as also being Gingerbread-incompatible, but you should search around a bit on that one to be sure. One way to check is to see if the free version of QuickOffice still shows up on the market when you search for it. If it does, try installing it. If it doesn't show up at all, then I'm pretty sure that means it's a no-go on CM7 at this point.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Baphometa:
I flashed moment it was released b#16 battery down 1% with moderate usage it better then last few builds for sure
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
Happened to me too. With latest cwm.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DJMartini:
Thank you! I think that's the issue. I did try searching for the free version, but didn't see it. Now I understand the relation to the WiFi & QuickOffice which I'm sure of.

Thank you Primatage!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
Yeah that might be a bit more helpful than having to repost the same info in 3 different threads, I'll shoot you a DM right now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
Glad I could help :)

I'm not exactly sure how it works yet, but I do know that along with the new Market, there were also server-side changes that more aggressively stop devices from seeing apps that don't support the version of Android that they're running. I don't know if the apps are actually unsupported or not, but they do stop showing up. Since I upgraded to CM7, the annoying app for me has been Paypal; it absolutely refused to install from TiBackup and it will not show up in the market.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
3, try like 6! And has anyone tried appbrain yet for apps, maybe that will get around the market paid app issue and maybe give us the nexus s apps for gb
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
Haha, I forget that you're compiling builds for multiple devices ;)

The thing with the apps is that they won't even install, like with Paypal. I had it backed up with Titanium from 6.1.1, but when I tried to restore it in CM7 it just wouldn't. You press install, it acts like it's installing, then it says "Did not install." Same with a couple of others, but I already forgot which they were.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kundica:
You can always try the kernel I compiled from the htc-kernel-msm7x30 source tree. I'm getting great battery life.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
Hmmmm, I guess incompatible is what is going on.

Now tomorrow's job is to figure out why the gapps aren't working on sholes (it flashes, gtalk notifictions come thru and the icons turn green but it won't access any of the google apps) and why builds for the incredible are bootlooping for some and extremely laggy for others :( maybe needs a radio update or bootloader for gingerbread
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kundica:
Did you give it a shot? Interested in seeing how others fare with it. I tend to run my phone pretty light to begin with.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
Dm me that link to your kernel and I will put it up on the host with the builds
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
If you guys see a b#16exp on the host (if the build doesn't error out) but if it is there, flash at your own risk (do a nandroid first) it is a special treat for you guys. If the screen doesn't wake (turn back on) just keep pressing the power button till it does and get your butt restoring that nandroid

I flashed it 2 hours ago and I haven't had any problems. What's in this one that wasn't in 15?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
For b16exp if it is there it will be there in an hour or so if not the builds failed
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zkid2010:
Best.sleeper.ever. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
Are you talking about just build 16 or is this something to go along with it? I've had build 16 for a few hours. And in that few hours my battery has remained at 100%
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
Yeah, kinda says it all right there.

This is just the same as the last build with a change I made in it. The build might fail because of it or not work at all hence why I said if (remember I set the script to compile, rename and upload. I am out for new years so I don't know if it will work)

Guys will prob not hear from me again tonight and if you did it prob will be a drunk post
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] illogic6:
Does this mean I'm supposed to see the electron beam? I just flashed the new build and I don't see it. :'(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
It didn't work, sorry guys. I forgot to set it to true :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kundica:
Actually, it needs to be set to "false", setting it to "true" just makes the screen fade.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] illogic6:
Yeah, and electron beam has been causing wake issues. (ie hitting power on does nothing)

That's why it was disabled in the first place.

Never caused me wake issues.

It did for me and others.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
Is anyone still missing the hspa symbol? I saw that people complained about that a lot. I see it just fine. it vanishes when hooked to wifi but other than that I have the h symbol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
That is why I marked it as exp and yeah it does work, I had my animations off in settings/display lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
Test for awhile guys and see if you have wake issues. If we don't maybe they will turn this on (standard in the source)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MRCLrider:
Why is that so cool??? I can't stop locking the phone and watching it, thanks so much.

Did you have it overclocked ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Baphometa:
I have my phone overclocked to a measly 1017mhz and have been turning phone off and on and letting it sleep for a min and turning it on and texting and turning it off and on

Not a single problem yet as far as waking up I'd say this is pretty stable if flashed properly

Flashed with Tmobile G2 US running CWR 3.0.0.2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bigtrouble77:
Waking fine for me for the past couple hours.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
Same here, it is even better drunk!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
How do I install that last file you put up? I'm too drunk and pre occupied to be using my brain.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
Hold the power button and hit power off and click reboot, then recovery, once it reboots click install from zip, then select this, flash, reboot, enjoy cool animation! (Make sure you have all animations turn on in settings/display)

Sent from my drunk ass trying to have words not misprinted
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
Screenlock animation does still cause wake issues, though not often. As undeniably cool as it may be, I'm going to leave it disabled in my builds until fixed. I have to admit it's tempting to put up with the issue, but I'd rather have my phone wake up every time I press the button.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
That's what I figured but I put it on my sd and couldn't find the file when I booted into recovery
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
Is this the b 16 file you put up a little while ago or somehing else. The file I downloaded from you wasn't in zip format. Do I need to make it that way?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
It was just a try and to give people a try. The normal builds will not have it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
It should be a zip, try redownloading
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
Definitely worth the bonus build. I had been wanting to see it for myself since I never bothered installing the italian build, it really is surprisingly addictive :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
I downloaded from gitgub. I just went to euroskank and it looks like the proper format.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
Right? I might have to do exp till it enters the source code as standard
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
Well it wouldn't take long, either. I figured since all I had changed was one overlay framework file, that there was no reason to make clean, and there wasn't. It took like 5 minutes to make the new package, a few seconds to transfer, a few more to flash and then I used the phone for a couple of hours with the lightbeam animation. Only took another 5 minutes when I decided to restore my /system from recovery :) No harm no foul!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
Nvrmind. That was a kernel I tried to install. Came as a non zip file for some reason. Screen off animation working great.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sykopompos:
Running a script for 7 (more coming) devices, it is a lot for me when I am runing the script so remembering to change the files is tough

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] osho741:
Take this warning seriously people. He's not kidding about the possible lost ability to flash another rom. I'm seeing cheifzreloaded tweets on being basically stuck unable to flash anything on his phone right now. Seems like when it works it works but when it doesn't you might be screwed!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xjsdal:
I flash this on my G2 successfully. But when I connect it to PC via USB and open USB Mass-storage, it can not work. Sorry for my english.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] syrkles:
roms works fine only thing not workin is camcorder and backlights go in and out unexpectedly other than that its a fast rom
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lee1019:
I was unable to flash, i got an error and was asked to reboot. I then got caught in a boot-loop until I restored from recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mattseg:
Think I'll hold off until these things get figured out... I really want to try it, but just a tad hesitant.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] suprajztwenty:
works fine...and im a effin newb...

plugging phone in computer and it asks for a new driver which i dont have...anyone have a link?

i havnt gone back to 6.1.1 but i really dont care to.

i noticed i havnt hit a hotspot connection (t-mo 4g) its stayed on 3g since the flash. obviously the camcorder...(CAMERA DOES WORK BTW!) and the lockscreen wake like mentioned.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cyanogen:
This won't work at all, it's impossible. The camera in 6.1 is so heavily modified and requires tons of framework changes I haven't even touched yet. If it even passes the dex verify, it'll crash on start. Don't lie and tell people to do things that won't work that you've obviously never even tried. If it were as simple as pushing a few files, it would be done already. The problem is the lowlevel buffer-passing between userspace and the encoder.

It's actually really easy to fix from if you know a little Linux, older CWM just has ext3 in the fstab. If you don't know what that means, good luck :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] osho741:
Looking at these tweets I'm seeing I'm not even sure if recovery stops mounting the system partition suddenly without rhyme or reason if certain conditions are causing it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrlamar09:
yea im not sure either will I b able to get back into recovery using hardware buttons????
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] osho741:
You will be able to get to recovery but it looks like it just won't mount the system. I think cyanogan is laughing at us right now lol. File system table? Wouldn't know how to change it!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrlamar09:
lol i bet haha but tht sucks i might hold off idk
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blackknightavalon:
A Nandroid restore to 6.1.1 works. Will see if everything runs, Titanium restore all my apps, then reflash 7.0.0.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] osho741:
Na it doesn't suck really. His point is feel free to compile the rom and flash it but don't bother him or anyone else on his team about it if you run into problems with it. That's all he's really saying
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] illogic6:
Seems to be working for me as well.

Yeah, nandroided restore works for me. Honestly I was about to keep this ROM,if it didn't have a couple of wake issues. I may still go back to it. Battery seemed really good, and it was super responsive. Know the responsiveness isn't all in my head, lol. cm7 is going to be beast
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jakesweet:

as eager as i am to get gingerbread on my G2 when Big C himself lays down a warning like that I'm man enough to admit I'm not talented enough yet to unbrick if i screw up so think I'm gonna hold off for a stable release

Lol, don't be skurd. It's only flashing. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
Yeah, if you can't get out of it, don't do it, lol.

I'm actually going to go back and use it again. Want to fully test out even RC0, because if it only gets better, then I'm totally hooked. Wish I had my dedicated linux box to actually compile my own builds.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mattseg:
Probably gonna give it a day to see if you brave souls are having issues. I want to take the plunge, but learned from my g1 that it better for me to have a bit more caution before staying up all night and foregoing sleep to fix my dumb mistake.

I am running into the white icons issue as well - and can confirm that it happens even when syncing against a Google account. Just wanted to put this out there for any others seeing this issue who think it might just be them.

Would love to hear from anyone who has green icons in the status bar - as it may have just been a preference or something I have overlooked...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
CWM flashback to restore image of 6.1.1 works every time, and I've done it like 8 times now. I forget who said it a couple of pages ago, but the first reboot in CM7 DOES seem to fix the wifi problem -- it worked perfectly after that (even after subsequent reboots).

Still flashing back to 6.1.1 after every try at the moment, but 7 is stable enough already that I'll probably stick with it once it works with Google bundled in :)

Now I'm really just wondering how long it's going to be until Koush has an update for the G2's recovery flash.

Cyanogen & crew: You guys rock.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jr_223:
after opening up the framework-res.apk i didnt see and green signal icon
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jhawkins002:
Ill be damned. That would explain it :)

An amusing voice in my head is telling me to try flashing one of our several Gingerbread mods floating around in the forums over the actual Gingerbread install (HA!) to try fixing this.

Also, I have noticed that the unlock screen uses the Froyo sliders in horizontal mode... for whatever reason. I guess this is because the Nexus S doesnt unlock to horizontal mode - so its not a part of the ROM manifest?
