I feel like such a noob. Fastboot says writing to remote is not allowed.

[Edit] Yeah, so, that's what happens when you do this stuff at 4 AM when your body needs some rest (time up, not because it's 4 AM, I'd normally be a-Ok, haha).

Orange recovery (looks really nice, btw). Wiping and flashing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spinose:
I just recover a nandroid backup of ginger vilain 1.0 with cwm 3.0, flash the 1.3, mount sd and data, flash the flasher cracker gapps without any wipe and the rom works perfectly, no market fc....

Thanks for the rom

I love gingerbread
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nprussell:
GINGERVILLAIN 1.4 is up.

MARKET FIXED.

Oh, and a few other things too. Check post #1.

On another note, would people PLEASE stop voting 1 star just because they can't get something working? I spent 7 hours on this yesterday, and the updates are very regular. Give me a break! :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fajarep:
this is crazy, i just download version 1.3 yesterday, and now, 1.4.... very fast..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nprussell:
1.4 fixes a few bugs from the earlier versions... including 1.3! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fajarep:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jboy15:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmcsc:
Same thing I was gonna say.

I'll be trying this tomorrow morning. I got 1.3 up and running perfectly! Thanks dictionary!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
Url fixed, just noticed when I went to download the copy, luckily the typo was easy enough to find :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dhingra_vinay_in:
i just flashed the 1.4 version and still the capacitive buttons not working on my desire z, any fixes plzzzzzzzzz
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmcsc:
Update notifications and anonymous statistics crash when being accessed on 1.4!

Could you please add (if possible) a way to disable rotation of the screen depending on the sensor? Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stea1thmode:
Just a heads up;

the on/off animation is enabled by default after the update, however if you have installed Spare parts then you need to have both the Windows and transition aniamtion set to normal to enable the on/off animation to work.

coming from 1.3, all that's needed is to wipe cache, wipe dilvik, flash rom then reboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
erm..no I am set to fast on both and my animation is working

yes you don't need to wipe, but for anyone who had issues with 1.3 i.e. people who wiped before flashing 1.3 I would strongly suggest you do another full wipe.

as a general comment: the more I use gingerbread the more I am really impressed by what google have done, the colour changing icons to let you know when your connected to google services is genius.

EDIT: My mistake, I was set to normal in spare parts.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] truetrust:
i am thinking that,if i really need this rom?

yEs!

thx...but,when fix the known bugs?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dinglehoofis:
Holy crap. Fast enough updates?

You guys are now officially one of my favourite dev teams :D flashing 1.4 as soon as my DL finishes.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
what known bugs are these?

the only "bug" I am aware of is people with european z's not being able to use their softkeys and this can be easily fixed. only problem is all the current update.zips are in the wrong format so won't flash but the same files can be pushed manually by adb or root explorer.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dhingra_vinay_in:
anyone please help with the capacitive buttons on my desire z
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
find the update.zip that you would use to fix it on cm6 then unzip and push the files via adb to the same location it was in the .zip file.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dhingra_vinay_in:
can u guide me how to fix this thing..plz
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stea1thmode:
screen, as in homescreen or apps?

mine is only set to rotate on apps.

if you're using a 3rd party launcher, you may need to disable auto-rotate.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dhingra_vinay_in:
am a noob buddy..a bit of more detailed help wud be nice please..i tried to flash the softkey fix via recovery but it doesnt help
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spinose:
i0m on a european desire Z on the rom 1.3 but no problems of softkeys...

the 1.4 have this bug but not the 1.3???
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
Confirmed, I have mentioned it to Nathan not sure when he can fix though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nprussell:
Right - can someone post the zip to fix the buttons on the Z, and I will convert to an update which works on this ROM.

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
are you sure it worked by default in 1.3 or did you have to fix it? if so that fix is probably overwritten now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dhingra_vinay_in:
i faced this problem on both 1.3 n 1.4
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dhingra_vinay_in:
just gimme your mail address i will surely mail u right now
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nprussell:
Can anyone upload the softkey fix from CM6.1?

I can't find them!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spinose:
i just recover a Nandroid back up from the version 1.0

then flash the 1.3 without any wipe

and softkeys are working
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dhingra_vinay_in:
i dont know how to upload them just can mail u right now if u give me the mail address
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stuart.q:
Yes, please somebody upload them I will need it in about 5 minutes...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spinose:
the soft keys are the 2 shortcut on the physical keyboard???

if yes, sorry for my mistake, they're not working....

i was thinking that soft keys are the 4 keys on the screen (home, menu, back, search)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wileykat:
Is this the correct post you need Nathan? Couldn't just post the update.zip as using the xda app.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dhingra_vinay_in:
http://www.mediafire.com/?6ke7sv1kn8a6a90 here is the link
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fajarep:
the physical button fix not working because the script is not compatible with clockworkmod v3. Especially the mount line, i think it can be fixed by changing the the mount line into like how villain mount the system part..

maybe someone can test my zip?? i haven't test it because my z runout of battery, need to be recharge...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ymees:
Flashed this last night. Runs fast and smooth. Very happy with this GB preview. Only "issues" I've found so far, apps that use geolocation aren't working properly (Beautiful Widgets, News and Weather). No trackpad wake (which will probably get added in a future release).

Wifi works. Camera/Camcorder work. Nice work, TeamVillain!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nprussell:
I'm trying to work out the cause of the USB storage issue. It does not apply to Mac/Linux... the issue seems to be only with Windows 64 bit OS's.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KiNG OMaR:
Does the screen off animation work? :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] m0bstar:
USB Storage and adb are working fine for me, however I am running OS X. So it seems it is a Windows issue.

As already stated above and nprussell has answered, it seems to be an issue with Windows, have you tried to boot into recovery and mount from there to transfer over files?

I can confirm that it does work on Mac OS X 10.6.5 Snow Leopard
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thatruth132:
i cant even connect when in recovery when mounting usb ...it is a windows issue ...a very annoying issue but i am dealing with by using wifi explorer and adb wireless

how do you have 97 post and still don't know how XDA works.....smh
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
I'm quite a bit confused about how to implement this ROM or gingerbread in general, since I did the Visionary method I have no idea how to get ADB working for my G2, I used to have a Motorola Cliq XT and I had it working on there, but with out ADB for my G2 I can't get CWM 3.0 on my phone. With this I try the other option with just flashing it with 2.5.whatever but when I try to install Gapps I can't mount system...Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stevencpoynter:
The screen off animation is currently not enabled.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
Seems I have problems with GenieWidget.

Can not automatically find my Location.So no weather and network

error appears!

Only can set my location manually.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] goldenarmZ:
This isn't just a problem with the Genie Widget, it seems to be a more general problem with getting a location fix on these Gingerbread/CM builds so far. My own apps are getting a null response from LocationManager.getLastKnownLocation(bestProvider), and my LocationListener never calls onLocationChanged. I'm not sure if GPS is working properly because I can't get a fix here anyway, but network location definitely isn't.

This is a dealbreaker for me at the moment, it breaks a LOT of apps and I can't develop on it. :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] convolution:
btw guys, this is like the barebones version of gingerbread (is that what vanilla means btw?)

If you all want the extra features, better stick with CM for now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:
My notification bar disappeared. Deviced cant be detected by W7 32bit. Account cant log in. Gmail wont work.

I'm now back on stock rooted rom lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] master.peterm:
is anyone getting the screen off animation not gingerbready?? anyway to fix this, because that's the #1 reason gingerbread is better than froyo.....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Json_81:
Please add that fix to the first post since I guess this is needed for a lot of users.

I have hesitated to try Gingervillain since I need the fix for CM 6.1 and havent seen any solution in this thread until now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nprussell:
Looking at the updater-script, this SHOULD work.

Could a Z owner please flash and test, then report back?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sanfran:
Screen animation

in version 1.4 is not working for me (settings are done) - is a full wipe required to enable it?

Thanks in advance,

Robert
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stea1thmode:
It should do if you have enabled it. Are you using spare parts? If so set animation to normal
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sanfran:

are you using a 3rd party launcher as opposed to the stock one?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stea1thmode:
f/c here also:o
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
Yes,because tried to flash a font.zip with old "update-script"

and not working.

Then I found this info about new Recoveries!

Have this problems on old CM7-vision builds too.

But commits now updated and should work again.

Maybe this new update not included at the ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mortenma:
Just flashed this one and it works on 1.4 with scandinavian layout. Also sorts out capacitative keys (home, menu, back and search)

Edit: was a little hasty in my conclusions there.. The ÆØÅÖÄ addon for the scandinavian keypoard seems to be constant caps.

Nice and thanks man!!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] VDN8110:
Guys, should this ROM work on Desire Z?

I ask because touch keys are not work
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Craven68:
For me there are no problem with the 1.4, with OC and screen off/on animation.

I flashed with the older recovery.

PS: Thank you for this rom :)

Keep it up, guys!

There is a fix for capitalized scandinavian letters in this forum, but I have no idea if it works on gingerbread roms.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ProbablyHittingOnYou:
Hi, just a quick question. I love this ROM but I can't use it because everytime I try to do a backup I get "cannot mount /system/". Can someone help me out?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AnyDone:
ABOUT THE CAPITALIZED SCANDIS AND CAPACITIVE BUTTONS!!!!

There is atleast 10 threads with various fixes for both. One is mine too. All re in G2/DZ Android development and everyone of them works with this ROM also.

So do not fill this thread with the questions allrdy answered 1000 times.

And one last time:

Mount in r/w (i.e. "adb remount")

Get vision-keypad-nor.kcm.bin and push it to /system/usr/keychars/

(push \path\to\vision-keypad-nor.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars/)

Get vision-keypad-nor.kl and push it to /system/usr/keylayout/

(push \path\to\vision-keypad-nor.kl /system/usr/keylayout/)

Reboot

And the files are 10000th time here:

http://www.filedropper.com/keyfiles

And they include fixed capitalized scandis.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Json_81:
Nprussel, to avoid thread being spammed with capacitive buttons / capital scandinavian letters questions please mention it in first post.

I've seen the same thing in every CM-thread.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gwanatu:
I flashed 1.4 this morning; working like a charm! I wanted to wait for the CM settings to become available, and now that it has I'll be using this for the perceivable future. Also I am using SetCPU OCed to 1.1ghz and the screen on and off animations work just fine, no issues whatsoever. Everything is buttery smooth and fast! I just wish ADW EX was as fast as the Gingerbread stock launcher, because being able to run live wallpaper and still have everything fly along without any lag is nice, but the extra features of ADW EX make me still want to stick with it. Great work on this rom!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mortenma:
BOOM!! Slamming the table, eh? ;) For my part I was not complaining or asking about capitalized scandis, i was just trying to help that VDN guy, and letting other ppl know that scandi keys didnt work in that particular update..

But thanks for reposting anyway :)

Been following forums for close to a year now without posting though, testing out ROMS as they come, and this is the best one ive used so far :) Love it!!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] skaidi:
After 1.4 Are u guys having black screen after you turn screen off? For me it takes like 30seconds for screen to turn on again..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
This is actually mentioned in the OP

Somephones can't cope with the new animation when overclocking it causes the phone to be very very slow to wake up from sleep.

Personally mine is working fine but if you have this then you have two options.

1) try to turn animations to "fast" in spare parts and see if this helps

if not then try this

2) lower your overclock in steps to see when your phone starts responding properly again.

This is the thing with overclock, not every phone can do it the same, it was more noticeable on older phones like the hero but some phones can just work higher than others without issue.
