Tap "menu" under wifi settings , select advanced settings in it and set 14 channels in first option - after that my wifi started to search and founded APs and therefore stoped turning itself off automatically.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ickedmel:
Hello, I got my G2 2 days ago nice phone, I just rooted and installed this ROM, awesome rom loving it, in terms of the wifi issue, Changing to 14 channels, helped, but doing a simple reboot after the first boot fixed the issue, wifi calling works perfect no issues, everything running smooth, only thing I would say is radio isn't as good as the one the stock had, but it's still good. Thank you so much for making me happy haha!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ickedmel:
Found a glitch, not sure if it's just me or if it's known, but i recorded a video on my phone, and when i went to play it back half of the screen gets covered by some blue glitchy looking wall and you can't see have of the screen until you back out. When put the video on the computer it plays fine so it must be a software issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OneUp03:
That glitch with the recorded video is weird. If you rotate the phone, it plays fine...

This ROM is fantastic! Appreciate all the work that you have put into it. Looking forward to even better things with V2.0
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sivalley:
Awesome work on this version. Just wondering if anyone out there has figured out how to enable the 'hibernation' mode that the Sense UI had. Even though it only takes my phone 10 seconds to boot, it's a tad annoying to have to close out some stuff that insists on starting at boot. That and getting the OC /screen on/off issue fixed and I would say this is the perfect brew for the G2. Mucho props all the way!

No swype included, but it's free. beta.swype.com on your phone, register and get the installer.

yup that is what i did...so far so good pretty good rom. haven't found anything wrong from my day to day use.

wondering if we are able to inject the camera settings from the htc sense and put it on this? because they have so many different scenes to choose from and the camera can take pics wide screen.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
Since my Home touch button or Search button didn't work and I could find a fix....I went back to CM7 Nightlies.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BriEE:
So I assume the issue with AOSP roms and voicemail notification is still not fixed?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DROITURK182:
Your right all I needed to do was make sure data was on, and start a new message, write the message and hit menu for attachment, and then select capture picture. I think after that it compresses the pic for mms. No bug sorry for the post what a great daily driver this rom turned out to be.

Shouldnt the screen follow when you turn the phone with the keyboard pushed in?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
depends on which launcher you're using.

I use launcherpro, it allows for 7.. and additional dockscreens (where the app tray button and stuff is)

ROMs != radios.

if you want to flash radios, you need engineering hboot. it's very easy using fastboot to update your radio.. but there is potential for bricking your phone, so please be extremely careful.

I am running 26.06.02.27_M and am very happy with it so far.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
Agreed, though ..

Some ROMs switch from WDCMA preferred, to WDCMA only, to 3g, etc. If they type *#*#46363#*#* they should be able under Phone Info>scroll down a little, see what it's at. Sometimes if it's set to something only, and the signal is weak for that, it'll display no bars, whereas if it's at preferred, it'll revert to the other signal, like edge. That aside, it could also be the build.prop.

Problem has absolutely nothing to do with the radio itself though for sure, unless your old radio just failed miserably (doubtful, especially on two devices) before flashing GingerVillain. As stated above, new radios are flashed separately. Haven't seen a ROM including a radio in eons, lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
I was not aware of this. thanks for the additional clarification. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
not those specific apps, but any time I've had random FC problems, fix permissions via ROM Manager and a reboot has done the trick. did you try fix permissions before any of those reboots?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] no6969el:
Yes I forgot to reply here but I have flashed a newer radio and its been good ever since... :)

The solution in your case would have been full wipe then restore with titanium backup ... there was a fix for the buttons I saw when searching but I thought it was for when you are comming from a sense based phone.

I don't think you need engineering hboot to flash radios. You can do it through the PC10IMG.zip method (see link below). I did it this way and it worked just fine getting the new radio.

Has anyone else noticed decreased battery life? When I was running the latest official Froyo for my G2 I could stretch the battery out to 7pm-ish and still be around 15%, now I couldn't make it to 4 before it was 17%, and all I did was text normally, listen to music, and browse the web for 15 minutes tops. With Froyo I could do that, more web, and emulators for a few hours. What gives?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hungyellow:
Have you tried recalibrating your battery yet? There is a Cyanogen FAQ on how to. They basically say to charge to when it is 100% charged, wipe your battery stats in CWM. Now unplug and use it like normal until it it drains completely and shuts off by itself. I had the same issue at first but doing this seemed to help. It took several days to be consistent but it eventually did. When I was in Dallas, the phone was at 100% for 4 hours until it dropped a percent but that was with minimal use like a couple texts here and there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kantbstopped519:
i'm using this rom with launcherpro, & everytime i reboot, launcherpro force closes at least one time before working normally, idk if this is a rom bug or something on launcherpro's end.

another thing, when i try to open the gallery, it always force closes the program opened before it, then opens up the gallery. & a couple of times it even just rebooted the phone outta nowhere.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
I'm inclined to say this is a gingerbread & LP bug and not a GV bug. this first started happening to me (exact same thing) when I started flashing nightly CM7 roms.

the fix? haven't found one... although I've noticed if I wait for google to sync (when your radio icons turn green), it doesn't force close... might have something to do with it. next time you reboot, wait ~30 seconds before you try to do anything and see if LP still force closes.

haven't had the gallery issue so I'm not sure what might be going on there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
yep, durr moment on my part!

Hi guys,

My HTC DZ was running with CM7, i can use 3G for internet ( icone with "H" + up/down arrow )

When i get back to GV1.5 from a backup (in that backup's time, i didn't have access to 3G), i do not have access to 3G anymore. I have No 3G icone

Have tried to reboot several times but no luck.

Bug? Do i need to set somethings?

well i think the gallery issue was my fault, cuz for some reason i decided to install the same 3d gallery from the market & it overwrote the one already on the phone then that's when it started happening. also like in the app drawer instead of the app name being simply "Gallery" it says "com.cooliris.media.gallery" lol i have no clue what i did

when you perma root and have a rom like teamvilliam is your phone sim unlocked when you do perma root? or is that a whole seperate process...for some reason I thought that permarooting unlocks sim

I believe (but may be wrong) that perma root via gfree does allow you to unlock the SIM.

I believe I messed up on the steps.

I tried doing the other way not using the fastboot and now my phone is stuck on the hTc turn on screen. I did the full wipe but when I was trying to mount/ system it kept saying error.

I'll try again, but do I need to use the recovery.img? or no?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
Yes,you need the new recovery image!

You can flash via Terminal Emulator app which is included

at the ROM:

Put the recovery image file on the SD card (not in any folders).

Open the Terminal program and type the following (with hitting enter at the end of each line):

su

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

In the above text, replace name-of-recovery.img with the name of your recovery image (make sure the .img is on the end).

Phone should pause for a second and then show you a new blank line. Turn it off and back on by holding down Home and Power to ensure it flashed correctly. Done.

I did it without problems.

First I flashed the ROM via 2.5.1.3 ClockworkMod Recovery,then

flashed new Recovery,mount/ system and mount/ data via Recovery menu

and after this flashed the gapps package!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] alfadog77:
time to dual boot linux :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thundertroy:
So I should first flash the recovery.img from my phone without putting it into fastboot? or DO I have to put it in fastboot? Because I'm not so sure how to work there with it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
Yes,you can do it only with phone too!

Fastboot only works if you have the modified "eng hboot" installed!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thundertroy:
I have it installed. My phone has S-Off, HBoot and unlocked. So what I'm kinda asking is, after I transfer my files. I can flash the .img right now? like don't have to turn it off or anything? or should I try doing fastboot with the cwm 3.0?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thundertroy:
O and its a Vision: G2, I'm not sure if that matters?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ccb04:
Can you 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? :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] m0bstar:
Gapps works? what are you talking about.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] salamanderdroid:
Couldn't you just download rom manager and flash 2.x on there when you want FroYo then use fastboot to flash 3.x when you want Gingerbread?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thundertroy:
Well I installed the cwm 3.0 and now I'm trying to install the ROM from that. I did a full wipe and everything.

looks like everything is installing. I'll let you know once I reboot the phone.

*cross fingers*
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thundertroy:
LOOKS LIKE IT WORKED! :D

I flashed the recovery.img and everything is loading pretty good right now. :).

I can't wait for more updates to make this ROM 100% stable! :D

It's so beautiful! :D

Thanks for the help Ganii. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
Vision G2,it`s OK!

You can flash over the old recovery,no need to turn it off!

You have the eng hboot,so you can try fastboot method,but

easier for me to do with phone and terminal emulator app!

Yes,to restore a old backup (example CM 6.1.1) you need recovery 2.x

Not possible with recovery 3.x

Vice-versa just the same!

Via ROM Manager you can get back to old 2.5.1.3 recovery!
