Any chance you'll be listing this in ROM Manager (preferably with the update notification feature)?

Having an interesting problem. I flashed v1.4 on my G2 so I had the file still saved on my computer. I just rooted my relative's phone and installed the same v1.4 ROM. I got SetCPU but the max speed I get is 528MHz... when I did this on mine early last month, I got up 10 1512MHz. The OC kernal was built in, so what's the problem??

EDIT: Nevermind, just had to select the autodetect one .. Didn't see it with the initial set up

Anyone else having a problem with the Google Voice app reloading itself after you back out of it? This has happened on all 2.3 roms for me. Is there a fix? It's extremely annoying.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hungyellow:
I did search and could not find my answer. The closest I found was the above post about pershoot kernel but that was like a month ago. So I was wondering if there is a difference in the kernel that comes with Gingervillain and the Pershoot kernel that is available in ROM Manager? I was thinking about flashing the Pershoot (Gingerbread) in the ROM Manager, but I was not sure if it was a good idea, compatible or would make it better or worse. And can I just install the Pershoot kernel using ROM Manager?

Also another question: When I reboot to recovery and I go to wipe battery stats and I click yes. There is no confirmation that it was successful nothing happened except it went back to the main screen. So did it work or is something wrong? Thanks in advance.

I just started rooting and flashing last week so I am new and still learning a lot. I have already successfully rooted and have flashed Cyanogenmod 6.1 and now I am trying Gingervillain 1.5. Thank you for any help.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Seeing as how GV is based on CM, I'd imagine it would work but, I'd ask in Pershoots thread.

As for a confirmation on wipe, there is none (unless I have problems too ... every time I wipe, there's no confirmation but, I've yet to run into any problems so I think all is well).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Beagan:

Pershoot has a kernel compiled for GB rom's only! Download and install using rom manager. I've been using it for at least a week with no problems.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hungyellow:
Awesome thanks, I did notice in ROM Manager that there was one for GB. Do you know how the pershoot kernel compares to the stock kernel for GV? Is the Pershoot better overall for performance and battery life? Or is the Pershoot better in one area than the stock? Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hungyellow:
Thanks. I thought when I did it when I flashed CM I got a confirmation when I calibrated my battery but that was last week so I don't remember.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AquaG2:
I've always used pershoots kernel on every rom I flash. I think it is better in every aspect!!! Try for yourself
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] imakul8:
I did a search, but I'm not sure about the kernels. Can you give me the link to the one you use so I can try it? Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jtadak:
Its not really relevent or on topic but this rom is superclean. Probably the best rom you can get for ANY phone. Anyway there is obviously always more they can have. All I have to say is I wish it was a little more themed like the Sparksmod rom. I realize its a cg rom but it would be awesome to have more screen animations and custom text font. Just a little insight. Love the rom and you developers are straight Gs.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Balls_Mcafee:
I'm looking for a link to the pershoot kernel also. I stopped using rom manager in gingervillain, mostly because it doesn't seem to work on this rom. It never works using it to make backups or to install kernels. If I use rom manager to download and install a rom, does it save the rom to a directory on my phone or sdcard that I can access in recovery to install the rom manually? It seems like rom manager saves roms temporarily and then erases them once installed. Incidentally, why the hell is rom manager wrapped into gingervillain if it's useless (or is it not useless)?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
ROM Manager saves files to /sdcard/clockworkmod/download, if you download the kernel directly from pershoots site then it'll be at /sdcard/downloads

Pershoot posts his kernels at http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/

Is the latest ROM Manager compatible with CWM 3.0? Whenever I do something on ROM Manager it asks me to install CWM 3 first although I already have it installed and it's working great.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Balls_Mcafee:
In my experience, the short answer to that is no. Rom manager works with cm3 flashed, but it doesn't really do anything with it. You're gonna get used to doing things more hands on in recovery for now if you want a gingerbread rom

G2 Gingervillain 1.5, baby!

Seroiously, that is the only video on youtube for a simalar device. You should SERIOUSLY read the desciption before you go running your mouth. I was just trying to help and used this video when I flashed my phones (G2) recovery. SERIOUSLY.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Wow, you sure can use "seriously" a lot.

They didn't have flash_image installed, which is why they were having problems; sending them to a video of someone flashing recovery who *does* have flash_image installed isn't going to help them any because that video doesn't show them the error that they were getting and how to correct it.

So yeah ... you should read the question before you go running your mouth.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jtadak:
That was an added refrence to the guide. I'm not going to fight with you in a phone forum, the point is don't be a jerk off when someone is trying to help, weather you think its relevent or not. Let them be the ones to question.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
Not really, as we STILL end up having to be the ones to help those people who you attempted to help, and failed to. I understand that you're well intentioned, but if you don't know what you're speaking about for sure, simply don't post. If the person needs the flash_image binary, then the vid tutorial wouldn't help at all.

A few times when I try to unlock it, it doesn't actually seem to unlock, the button lights come on just the screen stays black
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
lower your overclock, or turn off the screen off animation (or both).

Alternatively hold your finger on "menu" when you turn the screen on.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] RavenFB:
If you have Swype installed in a rom that you have a nand backup, go into the backup via a file manager, and copy /system/app/swype.apk and /system/lib/libswypecore.so to a seperate folder on your sdcard for future use, then use the swype.apk file to install swype. Once installed, copy the .apk to /system/app, and libswypecore.so to /system/lib on this rom. Reboot, and then try enabling Swype in language&keyboards. This should fix it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MishXT:
Cheers for that, I had to lower the CPU and I decided to turn off the animation

Recovery flashing via Terminal Emulator

For anyone having issues flashing a recovery image through fastboot you have the option to use Terminal Emulator to do it for you...

1) Put the recovery image on the root of your sd card.

2) Open up Terminal Emulator

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

The phone should pause for a second and then show you a new blank line. Power off and reboot into recovery to make sure the changes took effect :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
No risk there,easy way to do this ;)

Fastboot commands don`t work if you don`t have installed

the modified "eng hboot" on you phone!

So do it with Terminal Emulator app which is included at the ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] salamanderdroid:
Just installed the eng hboot, will see how it goes. Thank you! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
Yes,now should work with fastboot commands and Android SDK!

But don`t like the eng hboot and did this only with phone

and Terminal Emulator app!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
Doesn't work that way when you're the only one who can't use Fastboot. Basically, you're doing it wrong. I have to ask though, are you actually booting the phone into the bootloader when you try to use Fastboot? Or are you just throwing Fastboot commands at it while it idles?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] salamanderdroid:
worked like a charm! loving this rom :D

couple questions though: any way to get the new market? and also to get the new screen turn off/on animation?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mafiaboy01:
The animation was removed by Cyanogen because of some problems, and there is some conflicts with the new market.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] salamanderdroid:
Oh, okay. Thanks.

Last question: battery history in spare parts is giving me a force close. I ran fix permissions in recovery and it didn't fix. Anyone know another way to look at battery history?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ccb04:
Thanx for this! I rooted using terminal on the phone and its much easier. Can someone plz post the recovery img. for CW 2.x ? Would make things easier to switch back to 2.2 since I read dloading CW 2.x from market sometimes doesn't flash anymore for some reason. And would it be a bad idea to have both recovery.img (named different of course) on the root of ur sd to make switching between froyo and gb faster?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thecheatiscool:
He isn't the only one; it happens to me too. I never had problems using fastboot on my nexus one, but it doesn't seem to work with my g2.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zkid2010:
Nah, I didn't do it wrong. Now first, before anyone else takes a condescending attitude with me, I'm a goddam software engineer, embedded systems - I know about bootloaders. :)

So yeah, it's definitely in the bootloader AND I select Fastboot AND it sets the device in FASTBOOT USB.

'remote not allowed' - but thanks for at least a weak attempt at friendly help....putz

As it turns out, as someone smart actually mentioned, it's most likely the ENGH bootloader that somehow, inspite of following every thing to a tee withtin the G2/Z forums, left me with NO fastboot although another kind and helpful person also describes what I did to get it to work, launch cmds local on the phone, at a $, all su'd up.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Azrael.arach:
zkid2010, I had the same problem and ended up having to flash the hboot-eng.img.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833965

You download the hboot-eng.img and follow the directions starting at

dd if=/data/local/hboot-eng.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

then do sync. Once you reboot you will be able to go into fastboot and the fastboot command will work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zkid2010:
Thanks bro, but I think for now I'm going to just run the commands at su/# on the phone. I live in Linux most of the time so it's a good fit and I get nervous anytime I'm flashing anything other than the rom image(s) itself. Recoveries and bootloaders make me real nervous :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
So in other words, you never installed the engineering bootloader to begin with?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zkid2010:
Yup. Wasn't part of the G2 wiki/gfree temp->perm root guide. It is in section 6.3 immediately following gfree_verify, but titled with "# 6.3 INSTALLING ENGINEERING HBOOT (DZ/G2/DHD) - OPTIONAL and UNNECESSARY!"

See the deal? UNNECESSARY :D Probably a simple wiki edit noting that if you ever want to run fastboot on a G2 you'd better follow 6.3 also - would suffice.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
Right, it's a problem in the Wiki that you didn't read it all. I would have thought somebody who would snap at people for being condescending, with the lofty claim of "I'm a goddam software engineer, embedded systems - I know about bootloaders," might know a little better.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zkid2010:
You should think a bit more then. Look, if the helpful community is telling people in many of these guides and ROM release notes, 'just use fastboot', then this isn't really optional or unnecessary capiche?

Also, this doesn't really help push the notion that you want to use fastboot pal:

"This is unnecessary for most users but provides additional functionality for developers. "

I'm not developing anything for the phone, I'm consuming the offerings here.

This is totally optional and dangerous - if the write to the phone partition fails the phone will be bricked.

ruh roh!

Let's end this, you came off like a prick, I called you on it, and you don't like it. Deal.

What color is your text in the recovery? ROM Manager will still say it is 2.5.1.3 since people have renamed 3.0 to 2.5.1.3 to easily trick and flash CWM 3.0 in the ROM Manager.

I have had no issues with any of my applications, GPS lock, wifi tether, or any specific android features. I have had a slight issue of the phone locking up entirely and requiring a hard reboot to resolve, however it has been intermittent and definitely less frequent than it was with 1.4
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Balls_Mcafee:
Yeah, unless I see a screen shot of CWM I'm going to assume that they're reading the recovery image reported in RM also. A simple mistake to be sure, but you've got to know that you flashed 3.0 before installing this rom. They could very well flash back to CWM 2.x after the gingervillain flash

Any eta on version 2.0?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hungyellow:
Exactly:) you hit the nail on the head. Now just got to figure out my notification issue haha
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
Gingerbread is far more stable when /system is converted to ext4 - this is why we ask you to use CWM 3.0 before flashing any gingerbread rom.

The rom may work without using CWM 3.0, but you will eventually find something that does not work as well as it would had you have flashed it properly. Any bugs or anything you find we cannot offer you proper support until you have flashed it in the correct way.

So what color is your cwm recover text?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ellessidil:
Have you looked into LCD Density Changer?

Long story short, it gives you the ability to change the "resolution" of your phone, making text and icons smaller. I typically run my G2 at about 190 and it still looks great, although apps that have custom coded height and width for the app will appear much smaller as they arent expanding into the newly formed screen space.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] vinc386:
thanks for ur reply!

it actually "squeezes" everything for me but it's just a bit weird while the icons get that little...it would be better if it just reduces the font size and leaves the icons alone.

anyways, thanks very much for ur suggestion :)
