Mod Edit: No reason to chastasize someone for trying to help. Please keep your negative comments to yourself. ~TheRomMistress

Overclocking isn't messing anything up, other than the CRT Screen off/on animation. This has nothing to do with overall 2.3 Overclocking.

As far as battery, I'm clocked to 1.2ghz usually, don't experience the CRT wake issue, and battery doesn't get hot at all. I've since lowered it back to 806mhz though, simply because this ROM is still fast even at that clock speed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:
And you expect it to be better or perfect on this alpha stage ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
It's just funny, because Go Launcher, Zeam, LiveHome (to name a few) ALL use code from ADW, and give no real credit. Kind of sad. Go Launcher looks like a mash up of ADW and ideas from LP, lol. It ran decent for me, but I'm sticking with ADW EX and LP.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crazy talk:
incase anyone is curious, the screen on issues (flickering and just not powering on) are greatly reduced if you reduce your overclock to 1.401Ghz (it's on the next lower voltage scale)

haven't had any issues with lag when the screen off animation is turned on.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] el_smurfo:
Umm...isn't ADW based off Launcher 2?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] el_smurfo:
Some folks on CM Forums stating that the GPS gets hot. Try turning off GPS and see if the temp goes down? Mine was blazing after my first CM7 flash and cooled down after turning off GPS.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
We know, lol. If you reduce it to 1.2ghz, it should pretty much be perfect. 1ghz and you're not going to experience the problem at all. It's odd.

What's your point? All of the MODIFICATIONS, are ADW. Base, yes, is Launcher 2. They are using a lot of stuff from ADW source (it's open source, so that isn't the issue, the issue is no credit being given and passing it off as their own). Again, what's your point?

That's a good idea. I don't use GPS often, so I don't leave it on. Kind of pointless in my eyes. That could be it though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AquaG2:
I have a cool idea for you, NP. You should make your boot animation a live wallpaper"!! That would be kick ass!!! Thanks again buddy!!!

Anyone notice that they have a lot less free memory then before? After I kill everything I have around 115mb, how about you guys?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gwanatu:
No, I was just stating. I think it's important to make all the bugs/stability issues known so they can be corrected in the future. As for my own troubleshooting here, I did a full wipe and reinstall of GV 1.4, so we'll see over the next 24 hours how stability goes.

Anyone having problems with YouTube in this rom? I noticed that in landscape mode, the video would just get stretched out and would still remain in portrait. Anyone else have this problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
Haven't experienced that. Possibly it's due to the new YouTube app though. I know a bunch of people, me included, were having issues with it. I never had that particular problem, but I know for sure that it's been FC'ing and acting very screwy.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mafiaboy01:
Try rotating it in the other direction.

Ok, so Wifi isn't working for me. I know I know! Reboot! I did that about 5 times already. I've also tried disabling, re-enabling, etc etc.

It cycles through these 3 operations:

Authenticating

Remembered, secured with WPA/WPA2

Disabled, secured with WPA/WPA2

Rebooting isn't working. help???
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
They've already happened, and most people don't read, lol. Just let it go.

Was this from a clean install? This is odd, as I've never had that issue. Try doing a full wipe (Data, Cache, Dalvik) and flash again. Then boot up. Go to Wireless & Networks, click Enable. Then reboot the phone, and do it again. See if it connects and stays connected then.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lucas155:
Will do. Wish me luck.

EDIT 1:

Damnit! Same thing.

On the first powerup, the wifi shuts off almost immediately, just like the problem everyone else is having.

On the 2nd powerup, the wifi connects to my network, I put in the password, and then it disconnects for no reason. *sigh*

...and I really like this ROM too. =(

EDIT 2:

Sweet! I got it! 3rd install is the charm? :D Me so happy!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmcsc:
If you have any control over it, can you reboot the router itself? Some routers may tend to act... weird sometimes.

And, again, what's with the cursing and kiddie-kiddie insults? If you want to sound smart simply don't talk back. Geez, I feel this is turning into a kindergarten. [Not talking about you, dictionary. Nor last time. :p]

[Edit] Btw, the only error I've noticed is WiFi Calling not connecting, as previously mentioned. WiFi works beautifully; Kineto, on the other hand, does not.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
w00t!! Congrats man!

I agree with the router. I was going to suggest that next actually, haha.

And suuuuuuure you weren't talking about me, haha. It's all good though. Help out when I can, if I can, where I can. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmcsc:
I set CPU (har, pun not intended) to 1.5GHz to see what the fuss was about when turning off the LCD. I wonder what's causing the display to take a while to load with animations on. I haven't the slightest clue.

Everything else works. You can click around the screen, press buttons, open apps. You're just doing it blindly!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hk1388:
Anybody know how I can get the stock music player back?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] raviluke:
Set it to 1ghz. You will not have that happen. Plus this rom is extra fast. One ghz is as fast as 1.5...trust me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xero817:
This rom is running great even without overclocking, but i still get no luck with screen on/off animations. It seemed to work for a while and then stopped. No lag issues on wake yet, it would be nice to have the animations there. Maybe I am just reading wrong or what?

*Never mind,figured it out. Did some messing around and figured it was something with the auto rotate.*
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jcX4ever:
Amazing..

My G2 made 2 days without charging for the first time (@ 1.3 Ghz using the 1.3 version not 1.4).

wow.. just wow..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
in CM7 its been replaced by "3".

If you find a old music.apk and add it to /system then remove the apk for "3" you will have the stock player.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Showtime7:
I've also been experiencing amazing battery life compared to sense roms... Before I would get less life with backlight at lowest setting, data and auto sync turned off, and mild use at best. Now I get that much easily with auto sync and data left on and moderate to heavy use. Who needs sense?

I am also using 1.3, and don't OC past 1.2 Ghz unless charging.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yelti:
I love this rom

Things I'm happy about:

speed

battery life

stability

Things that don't work that good

Touchscreen: not working as well as my sense rom

some FC in villainrom settings

autorotion not really working

Not all links to programs seem to work

Overall very happy with this rom.

Thx guys, keep up the good work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] urmybaby:
i noticed some cons on this version 1.4, sometimes my touchscreen is not resposive after 1-2 minutes it will back to normal. anyone has same issue? I have 806ghz
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dimqa:
Same here :( I just love this Rom, but those two bugs (Screen doesn't turn on even at stock speed: 806).... Back to sense :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rymaples:
I'm also getting FC in villainrom settings. I have restarted and that fixed it for a little bit.

v1.4 drain battery alot. Even without OC...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nprussell:
The next version will come with an optional flashable update.zip to disable screen off animations, which should fix some of the lag issues people are having.

Also, there will be an optional flashable update to revert to the stock music player!

Give me a day or two and I should have 1.5 ready. Primary focus will be on improving the battery life.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sanfran:
Great news.. Thanks a lot!!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bronz_Most:
Improve battery life? Some epic **** because my battery is doing pretty damn well running 1.4 :D, I'm not OCing though 'cause hey, it runs pretty smooth to begin with!

And srsly this thread needs cleansing, there's a lot of lousy whiny crap in here that's not worthy of this thread.

Keep it up TeamVillain
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gwanatu:
I've been having the same issues as you and Yelti. I'm thinking maybe SetCPU could be the cause even when turned to 806mhz simply because I didn't start having issues with the rom until I started SetCPU up. This is a bit premature since I've only tested it for a few minutes here, but everything seems to be working better now that I uninstalled SetCPU. I'll report back in a bit and let everyone know if that solves my issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stevencpoynter:
This is the main reason why I'm still on the original italian build lol. I haven't had any wake issues yet either. I wish it was as smooth as this beta build though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] master.peterm:
some more issues I found on windows 64 bit you can't mount the sdcard within the rom, and to put the screen on you can't press the trackball trackpad , you have to click the power button like some kind of caveman........ btw thanks villain team loved your sense rom, this rom is pretty decent too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
Screen off animation was disabled by Cyanogen, read.

Can't mount the sd card has been mentioned, read.

These phones have trackpads, not trackballs. Look.

Not to be a ****, though I'm probably coming off as one, but read thread. It's only 9 pages long. That, and these issues are all well known, if you've even glanced at the other threads. Things are being worked on.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] master.peterm:
ok... my bad, lol :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] T.C.P:
Actually mounting is a simple fix just uninstall your HTC drivers and android drivers and plug phone in and Viola
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pickx:
I gave it a try (thanks Cyanogen team and TeamVillain!)

Gingerbread is certainly a lot better visually. Finally Android GUI design seems to be heading in the right direction (plus the Gingerbread black/grayscale color scheme fits the G2's design very well - if only the screen had better black levels)

For now I'm staying with this - hopefully battery life will be tolerable.

edit: don't know (or care, tbh) if this has been mentioned but on stock settings everything is noticeably laggier than Froyo. I "solved" this by overclocking.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thatruth132:

Any views on the battery life, sounds like the rom is pretty stable overall
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mafiaboy01:
Very good, at 78% and been running for 4 hours, with 1.5Ghz oc. I also get very bad reception where I am so that will make it drain more.

Overall very happy.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gwanatu:
Everything went really well flashing it. No errors, and it started up nice and quick for a first time run. I noticed that ADW EX seemed much slower in transitions, and Google Voice would force close on me when trying to set it up as my voice mail. Other than that I tested a number of things and everything seems to work well. Wifi is fine, although I didn't try wifi calling, and the few games I tested all ran very well. My favorite new thing is probably the new text options; the cursor to move around and select where you want to type and the copy/paste stuff. I'm going to go back to Froyo until more features get added, but it was good to test it out and make sure everything was working fine.

install this rom. Ginger Villam w/ rom manager 3.0

and clockmod work 2.5

everything was smooth but no gapps . so i was doing some reading and i see that i have to flash the clockmod work 3.0 to get the gapps running. this is the command i follow in terminal after putthing cwmsrc3.0.0.2.zip in root directory of sdcard flash_image recovery /sdcard/cwmsrc3.0.0.2.zip after five seconds the next line of # came up i type reboot. and after that no goo for my g2 help.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crowstar:
You don't flash the zip!

With recoveries you ALWAYS flash images, your only hope is to hold on and volume down and hope fastboot still works, if so you can do something.

Best of luck and happy new year

While WiFi calling is missing from this ROM I did install a few apk's for WiFi calling but when I run them I am getting FC's.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gwanatu:
Well it didn't work for me, still had FC's after a while. For now I've reverted back to FroYo; I can't be having constant FC's for stuff I use on a daily basis. I'll try again with 1.5, but for now it's just more hassle than it's worth. Thanks though, and I hope it fixes the issue for you!

Nope, there's something wrong with it. Market version definitely works though. I guess try clearing the data/cache for that app and see if that helps, I didn't even think of trying that until just now.

Random Shutdowns or Reboots

Okay, first things first; many thanks to all those who have contributed to this ROM, or any of the others for that matter. My experiences with Android have been nothing less than great, even with the snags I run into. (Theres a lot I don’t know yet, and even more I don’t even know that I don’t know.)

With that said, I have a problem, and I’ve only experienced it in GingerVillain.

The phone seems to be turning itself off for no apparent reason, but it only happens when I’m trying to put it into sleep mode/screen off/idle/WhatEverTermYouPrefer.

Now it could be that it shuts down as soon as I tap the power button and that I don’t realize it’s off until I go to wake it; or,

It could be that when trying to wake the phone from sleep mode that it reboots.

I have no way of determining which action, if either, causes the problem, but the experience is the same. I will go to send an SMS, make a call, or Google something and rather than seeing ScreenLock I see the GingerVillain loading screen. (It’s a nice screen and all, but it isn’t what I’m after.)

I had this a few times back in 1.2 or 1.3, but I only ran that version for a day before moving up to 1.4; the problem has been recurring a few times a day.

Now, I found a previous post mentioning this, but I don’t think that a fix was ever offered. (I could be wrong.)

I have tried not using SetCPU to overclock, but this does not seem to affect the problem. (I only run at a max of 1.2Ghz)

I have disabled CRT-style screen on/off animations, but this has had no discernable effect.

So far as I can tell there is nothing that has a measurable effect on the frequency of this problem. (It may be slightly more likely if I go to sleep/idle-mode with a program such as Messaging or a web browser instead of going to homescreen beforehand. It may be happenstance or selective memory, though.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if I should have overlooked a previous solution you have my apologies upfront; it doesn’t help that I have only a vague understanding of the cause, and that there are many ways to phrase the problem.

-Newbie

I didn't want to flash a Ginger rom yet til things was on the up and up and I was pretty happy with the Enomther rom but I see that it had the CRT animation I wanted in.

I don't know what it is (must be the dark Ginger colors) but everything looks good on the screen. I mean the colors and etc are vibrant.

So far everything seems ok. Minor bugs and stuff. I used the microbes LWP and I notice a heavy lag sometimes a blank wallpaper. There's a FC when I try to register the device for updates. GPS doesn't lock on at all in Navigation but it did in Maps for a little bit then stopped.

I just flashed it but so far everything looks good. Looking to that update Friday. Ill post more issues as I encounter them.

No problem flashing it.

Thanks dude
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gr33k:
Love this rom ty for your efforts!

The lag from sleep which intermittently happens only started on the 1.4 rom. Real problematic bug :( otherwise the rom is great and its fast. Setcpu appears to be working for me fine in this and 1.3. Win 64 drivers fine...microbes wallpaper and other live wallpapers work a bit funky at times. Love the backlit keyboard for quite some time :)

1.3 was a pretty good daily driver - I hope 1.5 is out soon with wake lag fix and more awesomeness!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lucas155:
I don't have a wake lag at all. Maybe it's due to overclocking?

I've noticed some minor glitches... like programs force closing for no apparent reason... and a few things not working, but overall I really like the ROM.
