That's a bit jarring, but it does say that using 3rd party browsers might fix it (I use Dolphin). Any word on whether or not that's true?

I'm trying to play games on Snesoid. I scroll to folder on sd card contains roms, select rom, screen flashes momentarily as if something is happening and then nothing. Notification pops up that "Snesoid is running", but still nothing. From what I've read Snesoid works fine on G2. So, is there some feature I should enable or disable for it to run properly. I'm not up to speed with all the advance features of this rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JustAnotherNewbie:
I think he was unable to find the line the code is on, but I could be wrong.

If I'm right, the LCD Density code is 20-25% down from the top and says:

"ro.sf.lcd_density="

(Or if you have the phone in landscape mode, it would be either one screen's worth of text down or two. At least, thats how it is on mine.)

It comes right after a string of lines starting with #.

Good luck ^.-

Same thing happening to me..Snesoid was working fine on all my other roms but won't start up for some reason
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bronz_Most:
I just ran Tecmo Super Bowl on Snesoid to see if anything changed since 1.5, but mine works fine, never had to adjust anything..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] firtermish:
I have the same thing happening to me both in Gensoid and Snesoid. In some games in Gameboid same thing will happen, screen will flicker and app will return to main list.

Also, Monopoly HD used to work perfectly with my stock froyo and now it won't boot up. Another game that won't work properly is reckless racing, which shows miscelaneous text instead of the game's appropriate textures.

On top of apps not properly, other major issue I notices is that A LOT of times the screen simply REFUSES to display anything after I wake it up. It gets better if you turn off the on-off screen animation, but it still happens extremely frequently.

I honest to god appreciate so much the work that has been done for this rom. I love the rom and I hope all these issues get fixed so that the experience as a whole is way better than stock froyo, which it some ways it kind of already is. However, I have to point out that this version feels more unpolished than the 1.4 and I will probably roll back if these issues get too annoying.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bronz_Most:
Holy sh*t, the picture next to my own messages in the stock app is finally surviving reboot! I don't have to reset it in call settings anymore! Excellent job, this detail was bugging me since CM6..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NoFatePPC:
Hello, i am new to android... if i install this rom, and there will be a new release out , do you need to reconfigure everything? Like on a windows device? Or is it more like an ota...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LGS1231:
It'll be like reformatting your Windows if we're speaking in terms of computer. Because when you initially install a new ROM of any sort, you need to wipe everything and then do a fresh install, so you would essentially have to delete everything from your phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NoFatePPC:
thnx for the info... well i really like the htc sense widgets... and the launcher

what info can you tell me about this roms... do i have to look at the market for replacement widgets.. or are there already cool/good widgets included in this rom , like the agenda , exchange account etc...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] drsfinest72:
dude this is basically a vanilla rom.. (stock)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Showtime7:
If you have PayPal, buy LauncherPro Plus, you get most of the sense widgets, and a customizable launcher... Better than the Sense launcher IMO.

I've tried this rom.. Coming from virtuous rom I can say that this is going to be my next favourite and loving everything in this rom.. The only issue I have is the wake up button unable to wake the device after sometime.. Can this be fixed in the next update?

Great job to the developer and thank you for making my desire z more desirable... Regards!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kaanha:
Hey man, no one ever answered my question that I asked several times either, it just got ignored every time. So let me answer yours for you.

In Stock 1.5 I was able to turn the portable hotspot on, connect to it and surf the internet. My WiFi is working without any issue as well.

And just a quick side note, WiFi calling is now working without a problem, thanks for fixing that!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] imakul8:
Update guys, I had been using Snesoid 2.2.2 and having the problem. I updated to the 2.2.3 version on the Market and all seems to be working well. Is anyone using 2.2.3 and still having the problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nighte:
I have no idea, the info regarding this is all very ambiguous. But the issue is there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xdeified:
I have the same issue on waking up the screen. The rom is flawless from most of what I can tell, just sometimes when I go to wake it or handcent does its popup when screen is off, the screen doesn't want to turn on. I'm assuming its a bug with the lockscreen since the buttons and everything else turns on. But I wouldn't know for sure.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rumitg2:
love this rom. dont think i could possible ever go back to non gb. only issue is that im still getting random reboots. sometimes i can go an entire day without a reboot but sometimes it reboots a few times an hour. i had this issue form 1.4 and 1.5 hasnt fixed it for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CanEpia:
Whatever battery tweaks you made in 1.5 really worked! Wow!

In 1.4 I could hardly last 8 hours of usage. in 15 with the same usage I can last 24hrs and still be at 60%. Keep up the good work, everything else seems to be working fine for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blu3angel:
I did'nt have a single reboot since installing this rom.. Maybe u need to have a clean installation by doing full wipe eg; wipe factory settings, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache 1st... This is I've done before installing the rom...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ccb04:
Great rom..I dont have any issues with the wake even when overclocked to 1.5..My media player seems to work again without having to reboot and everything else seems to work including wifi calling. Battery is excellent now. Only thing that doesn't work is the Snesoid emulator. Any chance that will be fixed in the future? :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xdeified:
I'm going to try reflashing it, then see if I have the issue. My girlfriends g2 doesn't seem to have the waking issue but mine does every so often.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] skulk3r:
are you still OCing with screen on animation? this is a known issue that has occured with pretty much every gingerbread build so far
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LGS1231:
^ I had the screen display issue regardless of whether I had the screen animations on OC or not.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xdeified:
I just turned off both the screen on and off animations and its fine. It would still do it even when its only on screen off animation.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] The Great NY:
hmmp...still cant get wifi tether to work. hotspot works, but as soon as you try to use wifi tether it doesnt work and breaks hotspot. so i have to reboot to use the hotspot. iirc this was the same issue that was in CM6.

otherrwise than that, this ROM is outstanding. i loaded up swype because i dont fancy the gingerbread virtual keyboard

I want to flash rom but I haven't been able to read thru all the posts. Right now my usb mount doesn't work after flashing CM 3.0.

I would appreciate some help or just the page where the answer is.

EDIT: Found the page after scanning them randomly but just wondering if there are any other bugs I shuld be aware of and if they can be fixed. I like trying different ROMs out but not if they give problems.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bronz_Most:
Well it's certainly stable enough to use as your daily driver, shouldn't be a problem at all.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JDM Babaganoosh:
GV 1.5 runs perfectly on my G2 with BaconBits kernel.

The ONLY two things i've noticed:

-GPS just won't get a lock. i can live with it for now, but will need it when GV 2 or CM 7 are released.

-On/off notifications

but those 2 have been discussed and are documented. just wanted to give my .02
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crazy talk:
i didnt see it mentioned in the last two pages, but on 1.5 Wifi seems to keep turning itself off everytime i turn it on. no errors or anything. but about ~15 seconds after i turn it on it turns back off.

i have my OC set to 1.401Ghz and have yet to experience a issue with unlocking the device. (i have the CRT animation on as well)

typically scoring around 49-51 on Linpack after restart as well...

looking forward to 2.0! haven't had any issues besides the Wifi bug.

Edit: GPS doesnt seem to be able to get an exact fix as well. 1400meters is the best it can do.

BTW, does anyone have the settings CM6 uses for ADW launcher?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] RobertsDF:
Using the stock kernel, my gps always locks within a few seconds. Did yours work before switching kernels?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JDM Babaganoosh:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
yes to get this rom fully working you will need to flash cwm 3 otherwise it can't convert /system to ext4 which is required to get gingerbread fully working.

Then you will need to flash back to an older cwm if you want to restore an non-gingerbread rom.

I disabled autosynch for a couple of hours and the battery drain was slightly more! Trying to pinpoint what is causing AndroidSystem to take up the majority of the batter life 50% at the moment. I have used system panel app and that doesnt really pinpoint the app or process that is consuming the power. The one process that does run at the highest is suspend! Ive also checked partial wake lock and there doesnt seem to be any problems there! really at a loss for why android system is taking the most battery drain! I have also removed the wifi calling app on the off chance that might be a contributing factor! What are other people getting for their android system usage on the battery and how many accounts are the synching, Im:-

Android System 50% on Average (synching 2 gmail accounts and facebook every 8 hours)

at first, was using the native file explorer that comes with GV1.5. downloaded estrongs... same error.

the 'last call widget' that I installed also is giving me trouble: it installs fine, i can see it in the app list, but when i long press on the home screen to add a widget, it's not there.

is there a known issue with widgets and/or 2.3?

love the ROM so far but can't get my oldschool home screen setup going because of this.

any help is greatly appreciated in advance.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
your widget won't show because you will have the app installed to your sd, move it to device then reboot and you can use the widget.

any idea on the other apps not installing at all? is it a signage issue with 2.2/2.3??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
not sure I have had no such issues at all, have you tried rebooting then trying to install again?

maybe the file on your sd has become corrupt and you should try to obtain a fresh apk?

Swype? Bluetooth?

OK.. I've been running Virtuous since about two months after I got my G2 but decided to give something else a try... what with all the talk about Gingerbread this seemed like the logical step. But I'm running into some problems and wanted to get a few opinions before I decide to ditch the ROM and go back...

First: I need Swype. I have Clockwork backups with Swype installed but Swype Restore isn't actually restoring it. I get the popup saying it's restored and to go select it in Language & Keyboard... but it's not there. Even tried running my Swype Beta installer.. No go. Why do we seriously have to jump through all these hoops when the phone comes with Swype out of the box.. why not put it in the ROM?

Second: I have TWO Plantronics bluetooth headsets.. Neither of them are able to pair with the phone. It sees them, acts like it's going to pair (the red/blue lights stop flashing on the headset) but it still says "pair with this device" after it's "Done" and does not connect. I rebooted the phone after trying to pair and it miraculouslyh showed it as paired.. but would not connect. Tried restoring my Bluetooth pairings through Titanium Backup.. That didn't work either.

Did I just get a bad download or are these known issues? Anybody else experiencing this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AndroidHAX:
We cant put swype on the ROM probably bc of some copyright thing, much like how Cyanogen cant put Google Apps on his ROMs bc Google asked him not to. On your bluetooth problem, I would redownload the ROM and reflash, I also have a Plantronic headset and Motorola headphones and they both work fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ccb04:
Rockplayer doesn't seem to play my movies or shows..App will just shut down once you click the video you want played
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LGS1231:
I would recommend reflashing? I had the same issue during my first flash. The first reboot did not do the job so I had to reflash it and then it worked.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
"New music functionality"?

The article clearly states that they don't have any proof beyond someones screenshot. Granted, everyone knows that Google is working on a music service and will most likely integrate it into Android but, at the moment, there is no Google music service and there is no music sync for anyone to port.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nprussell:
I haven't read that article, but I know some new audio tweaks were made available as part of Gingerbread. HomerSP, who does a lot of work on this, and all other ROMs with me, recently discovered that the CM team are replacing the in-built Gingerbread DSP features with their own.

This is something we are currently looking into.

I can tell you that the next version, GingerVillain 2.0, will see us step that little bit further away from the CM nightlies, as the ROM takes shape as an independent build.

Hope you're looking forward to it... we are! :)

Is your dock going froyo when you slide out the keyboard?

Well, mine was untill i downloaded another gingerbread launcher from the market (I downloaded it by cloud :D)

The lockscreen still goes froyo but the dock isnt anymore.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chris2busy:
well since its not based off any CM nightlies, i am not breaking any rules by asking " any E.T.A " ? :P

I have not tried any gb roms so far , so i think i'll wait for 2.0 to jump over..

Also, a irrelevant note..if i flash cwm v3 and then decide i want to go back to a froyo nandroid , could i just do that from simply reflashing cmw 2.x on the go from within the rom manager(there is an option for elder releases down the bottom of the app) , instead of being near a pc with all the fastboot flashing ?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mckayrytting:
I don't think that's the case. A few weeks ago Swype sent a letter to XDA saying that the Swype keyboard could be included in "ROMs for devices which come with Swype preinstalled" and the G2 (I guess I'm not sure about the Desire Z) definitely comes with Swype preinstalled. Here is the link to the post about it:

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/official-stance-from-swype-inc-regarding-its-distribution/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AndroidHAX:
Well now i know, thank you for pointing that out
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Balls_Mcafee:
Well there is some additional fine print to consider. I mean, I don't know that the Desire Z and the G2 come with different versions of Swype, but say they did. If CM7 for example was put out to both devices and included Swype, but that version of Swype was released only with Desire Z, then the G2 users installing it would be in violation of Swype's policy. Again, I have no idea if the versions are different between these devices, or even if there are different versions of Swype, but that's some more of what it says.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
I remember there being an issue with a previous CM7 nightly like that, perhaps GingerVillain doesn't have CM7 commits fully up to date?
