Has anyone's camera stopped functioning? I am trying to figure out if this is a ROM error, or a hardware one. A bit of water hit us the other day, and the front of the phone ONLY the front got covered in it. And since then the camera hasn't fully functioned. I guess it probably isnt, but I keep getting a fc for it. Gallery and everything else is fine, just the camera.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ccriffman:
My camera has always worked with this Rom, and still does- sounds as if you may in fact have a hardware problem- Chris
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Yes it will come when it comes...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
have you tried pushing the default camera.apk back into the /system/app/ folder?

I've attached my [working] camera.apk for you. give it a shot and see if it fixes. as far as I know, the only known issue camera-related with gingerbread roms is the video-viewing issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kantbstopped519:
the first couple of days with this rom, when an app would finish downloading, the icon shown would be this one

but now it's back to this one

anyone know why?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
my thoughts are that the icons in the first pic are like those of stock Gingerbread (such as CM7 might have), but those of the second are Sense, which is what they SHOULD be. Looks like it was switching between the Sense launcher and launcher2, which is also included in the rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ccriffman:
quality of work

This is by far the Best Rom out here. Appreciate all the hard work. I just need to figure out how to vote- I can't find the 5 Stars anywhere. -Chris:D

idk, I'm pretty committed to the stability of CM 6.1.1...

This seems promising too though, just don't see a good reason to switch.

sometimes it won't connect to wifi? my never connects, i always receive an error that the process isn't working and it either fc or wait for the procedure. i have REBOOTED. i have wiped, re-flashed, enabled wifi, tried it, failed and then rebooted again. still doesn't work. sometimes i can enable wifi and enter my ssid and wpa password, but wifi immediately disables at that point. at no point does the device allow me to see available networks. any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ccriffman:
WiFi problems

I don't know why- after a re-boot following the install, I have had rock-solid wifi ever since. But until that re-boot, I would enter my wpa password, and by the time I was done wifi was turned off and couldn't save my password. After starting over twice, I rebooted it which cured all issues.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Yea ive been getting that from other roms lately... flash a diffrent rom then it would work again... dont know why its been doing that
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] poken1151:
Thanks for the camera.apk, my camera started functioning once more, so I'm good, still loving this rom and eaderly awaiting 2.0. Been considering if I should try the Sense edition. Either way, I hope Villian gets the G2 specific stuff in.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] randumb:
what ROM works with your wifi?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Well I only get that issue with cyan at the most and I never get the issue with sense roms. Also the new nightly builds work pretty good
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zainqaiser:
Same thing happened to me with the wifi....but fortunately i found a fix for it.....just go to wifi settings then advanced then change the regulatory domain to 14 channels instead of 11....then ur wifi will work hopefully :-)

Looking forward to the next update - excessive battery drain is ruining it for me on this build though - I understand that the process takes a little to update, however i'm starting to consider jumping to another ROM as there hasn't been any interest or updates to this for a long time now while others are getting updated weekly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] infamousjax:
I noticed this hasnt been updated in a couple of months.. has the project been abandoned or what? This used to be top of the line!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] imakul8:
Are you subscribed to this thread? We are awaiting a major update from 1.5 to 2.0. Major, not minor. So that means it's gonna take a minute.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nedu09:
Looking forward to 2.0 but would be nice to have an update as to what is going on.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hungyellow:
A couple pages back, there was talk that one of the developers had some personal issues he was dealing with and it was going to delay 2.0. If you want more details visit their site.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] composites:
Been using 1.4 for quite awhile and just upgraded to 1.5 and noticed a couple odd things 1.5 that I don't think have been mentioned.

1. When using unlock gestures I've noticed all you need to do to bypass this is open the keyboard. Should it be this way?

2. When entering a phone number for a contact using the keyboard most of the numbers are incorrect. The 1234567890 keys output 7937898467 respectively. Pressing FN will yield the correct number, but you can't press it twice to lock it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] composites:
@TheMan42: Do you have turn over silent enabled? Disabling that stopped my battery drain issues.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nprussell:
I'm in the USA at the moment, and have been working on this a bit the last couple of days. Currently working very hard on improving the battery life!

Sorry for the massive delay, but I really, really want to make this release worth the wait.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AquaG2:
Do what you gotta do Nathan!! 1.5 is still all around the overall fastest, and stablest rom out there!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nedu09:
Thank you for the update and your work! I know you probably dont have a release date but can you tell us if it is looking good overall?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Smartenup:
Only custom ROM that I have used for a month+ without changing. Actually, the only time I changed this ROM was for a reload! Would luv to see an update but I am in no rush, everything works for me!

Thanks for the update! :cool:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jgal:
Wow, that is brilliant news! :) This ROM is for sure the most complete, stable and usable one!!!

So I have two ideas for requests in the next version:

1) Could You integrate the new 1.9GHz kernel that is flying around the Desire Z forum? The dev and the users are saying it has improoved performance not only in spped, but also battery life. It only has some small usual issues like wifi not working.

2) 2 days ago someone posted that he managed to do USB HOST functionality on the Desire HD. There is an experimantal kernel for it. Would it be possible that You port it and include it?:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] composites:
Would it be possible to include a tun.ko as well for those that need to use vpn?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kevinik:
Thanks for the great ROM I've been using it since release. I have tried others but always go back to this ROM, it's awesome.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] triumphantpower:
Is an Upgraded Version of this ROM coming anytime soon?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kantbstopped519:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] no6969el:
Yea I check it all the time... the more I check the more I want to complain don't start what u can't finish lol but since I know how much time these devs put in I shall remain as patient as I can.

One note... I know we believe in the big update less often idea it should only cover improvements... fixes should be updated quicker (strange video playing issue etc)

An error occured searching for network

I`ve just installed Ginger Villain 1.5 on a HTC G2, T-mobile branded US. It was locked after trying htc unlock codes 10 times. Ginger Villain seems to be working fine, I also Wiped all data first. I mounted a norwegian sim-card, but the phone doesn`t find any service provider. Is the phone still locked to T-mobile? The phone is in S-off, data wiped, Ginger Villain 1.5 installed.:confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
The G2 had a bug that once unlocked stoped the phone from working on any carrier including t-mobile.

I am sure it was fixed, but not sure how, or what state the phone had to be in to fix it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lazybusinessman:
ive been getting a lot of random re-boots lately. anyone else? never had any problems with this rom before until this past week.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lightningtrip:
I have had reboots and also had the phone shut down by itself, but it is rare, and it happens with the stock rom too. I do not know why.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MawGoomba:
Maybe you got some wrong apps installed, I haven't had any reboot at all. I've been using this rom for about 2 weeks now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lightningtrip:
That might be the issue, I do have a large amount of apps installed, but I am not complaining. I have been running this rom since minutes after it came out and am very happy with it.

Has there been any further development into the mentioned 2.0 release of this ROM? I'm currently running this ROM on my phone, and I have to say that it seems much more stable and enjoyable than any other Gingerbread ROM that I've tried. Great job on it, and please keep the updates coming! :)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wujxin:
Should I wipe before updating from a CM7 nightly room?

I wonder if 2.0 is going to be AOSP instead of CM based? anyone know?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
I would love to see a Gingerbread-based ROM come out that isn't built of CM7. Pure stock, nothing else.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stea1thmode:
Just wipe cache and dalvik if you're coming from CM7 as I think this is based off of a nightly.

Am OCD so I'll just do a full wipe anyway, but that's just me:rolleyes:

you should be able to use the theme chooser and theme provider apks from a copy of cyanogen's rom, just install them in the /system/app folder and then install as any old apk would be. I know I have used them on other ROMs based on CM7, and so they SHOULD work here as well.

To the people unaware of the status of this rom you should subscribe to this thread. Follow "nprussell" on Twitter. Then you will be in the "know" and not the ignorant.:confused: I know, I know, it's tough waiting, but seeing as it's the best rom worth waiting for, it's worth the wait.:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nighte:
I'm using 1.4 because I didn't want to wipe and install everything again for 1.5 (I had flashed 1.5 on top but issues popped up left and right when I did) so I've been patiently waiting for 2.0.

But only recently I've been getting the old screen on/off lag... it's getting annoying since I'm missing calls and whatnot cause the screen takes too long to turn on.

It's weird since it never happened before and just started recently.

Anyhow, I hope 2.0 comes out soon! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ashaman_Kupo:
That's why you use an app called Titanium backup and back up your apps and data and you'll be fine once you restore them.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nighte:
I have it (the full version too), never restores them properly. Not for me anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hungyellow:
In case anyone is wondering. The main developer of this rom got the job at google and still have more time to dedicate to android and villain roms. He said on their site that he will begin working on the update again in mid april when he starts his new job. He said be patient. Hope this answers some peoples questions on the update to this rom.

Congrats on the new job. Hope all goes well. I think I will be switching to cm7 for a bit while this rom update is being worked on. Great job villain team. I will be back when 2.0 releases. I enjoyed 1.5 a lot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:

So quick question, is wifi calling working for everyone else? It was working sweet for a long time and then couple days back stopped for no appearant reason. Haven't been able to get back on since. Routers are all cool and nothing has changed, just keeps giving this W006.25 Error, isp or tmobile. Not sure what's happened, a Google search isn't really turning up much useful info.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lightningtrip:

i used this rom for the longest time. i have jumped ship. no updates. sorry.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
Just curious as I keep flipping between this and Virtuous 1.0.1, but what's wrong with GingerVillain 1.5? The only problem I've seen on this is the video playback in portrait mode issue (most of screen goes crazy), but that isn't much of an issue to me. Are there features that are missing from this? I really enjoy using this ROM when I'm not using Virtuous, so I'm just trying to grasp why everyone is ditching something that seems to be working well.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hungyellow:
Well I am one that loves this rom but like the new video format is not working with this rom. When I flash pershoot's kernel .33 or higher videos do not play. That is why I am switching to cm 7 for a while until this rom is updated.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] imakul8:
You are so correct! I guess some people are looking for the next new thing, not necessarily what is better because this is still the best. I can say that confidently because I test other roms. When I say Ginger Villian is the best, it's not fanboy jibberish. Let them abandon ship, they will be back when 2.0 arrives.:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
You do know that the video playback is broken in CM7 as well, right? Was there a pershoot kernel that actually made video playback work, one that was prior to .33?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kantbstopped519:
is it possible to install the theme chooser apk on this rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hungyellow:
I actually ment videos playing on youtube. It would only work on .32 or earlier versions. Pershoot told me that my rom is out of date and his newer kernels caused the videos from youtube not to work. This after I have him my logcat.
