So far these do not occur frequently though, but it might be worth mentioning..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hkkla:
I think it should say in the first post that the soft-keys can be useless after flash. Maybe even a solution for the bug, its kind of a BIG bug not be able to go "Back", Home" or into "Menu". That way people know it from the beginning instead of trying to search a solution for a problem mentioned somewhere in i 125 pages long thread. A solution that maybe dont work on every Desire Z, on mine it didnt.

I had to work very hard to get my phone back last night, nothing worked for a while. Not so fun when about 700$ is on the line.

I had a HTC Hero earlier and tried lots of ROMs, there is no need to be prejudice against me and my "competense".

I was able to roll back on stock and i will probably stay there.

Haters gonna hate.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChristoA1:
Lawlz ... I'm not sure how big a difference there is between Desire Z and Vision, but mine is working great :) I just don't know why, but my wifi isn't working after I just flashed it...

jk :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] RiTZiE_CDN:
I had the same problem... reboot and your wifi should work!

Sent from my HTC DZ using the XDA App
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tbalden:
i'm in the process to build a kernel module for CIFS, checking out gingerbread GIT repo. I see that the Wifi modules is as well built against a cyanogenmod kernel, so hopefully it will work out. It pisses me off that i cant watch familyguy through wifi/cifs mount.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LGS1231:
Had both the "Loading gallery" and Wifi issue.

I just killed the gallery in my task manager, and I actually had to turn off the phone and then turn it back on as opposed to using the reboot button to get wifi to work.

THANKS!

With this rom I have amzing battery life.

I can almost not believe it.

I did 88 h with one battery charge at normal use.

What is normal use for me:

No data connection

Wifi from time to time for few minutes

10 min calls a day

2-5 sms a day

Bluetooth on all day

playing angrybirds at least 10 mins a day

This without setcpu or other oc software.

Realy love this.

The pics to prove :
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Khitsule:
That happens to me, I've figured to just opening gallery again and killing it does the job. I use the long press back but a task killing program would do the same.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] urmybaby:
Waiting for version 1.5, peace out

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] achokshi:
love this ROM, just came from CM7 nightlies. I think this is smoother and quicker. However, there are a few bugs you guys have talked about and I have had in nightlies as well: Quadrant black screen for 2 of the 3d tests, when I try to wake with the trackpad sometimes the lights on the home menu back and search button light up but my screen doesnt turn on. I am overclocked at 1 GHZ AND I have ALL animations turned off, including the screen on and off animations. So I'm not sure what's up with that. LED not working for missed calls, texts, etc (got that same with nightlies). Lastly, not sure if this is the ROM or not, but the XDA app wont install, it'll download but won't install. Weird.... looking forward to more updates!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arich:
Has anyone else noticed a gradual slowdown with this rom? I feel like it is lagging more and more as days pass
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LxDroid:
I agree, I keep checking for an update to get a fresh start and hopefully improve battery life

Still love the rom tho
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tbalden:
Is it only me, using screen on off anim and oc to 1.4ghz and with setcpu added screenoff profile to 245mhz to 1ghz ondemand, and works flewlessly, no wake issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
mine is fine on 1.5ghz too
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ellessidil:
I have been able to install my swype beta on every reimage of my phone for GingerVillian releases without any issue.

As far as coming with it though, no, swype is not included with this rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tbalden:
Oh, right, I'm on 1.5 too, I just read somewhere that anim and oc can't work at the same time. Anyway yeah, cool that it works. I had troubles with sense based roms.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
they can, just not all phones can handle it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tbalden:
okay, finally got it working with Pershoot kernel for CM7:

http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=1512

And cm's wiki for using the modules:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p...kernel_modules_for_debian_chroot_installation

No chroot needed tho'...

Just copied the libXXXX.tar.gz of pershoot to /sdcard, adb remount, adb shell, bash, cd system, tar -xzf /sdcard/libXXX....tar.gz, depmode -a, modprobe cifs and it all went great, now i can mount samba shares with cifsmanager. Pity I couldnt do this by default without the hassle. that way i'm now on Pershoot's kernel so modules are compatible...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chobie:
Anyone has vignette installed in their phone? When I open it up the view finder is concentrated on one half of the screen only. Not sure if this is an app issue or a rom issue.

Wifi Calling

Hey guys,

WIFI Calling has been the only reason I wasn't using this rom. Now that I have it working, i'm loving it!

It's not like I discovered anything ground-breaking, but after following these steps, you should be able to use WIFI calling.

NOTE: I am not responsible for anything this makes your phone do, including racking up minutes, or just not working. There is no warranty, yada yada.

Grab a kernel from here (HAS to be the new one with gingerbread support): http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/

REMEMBER TO PUSH THE KERNEL MODULES PER THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THAT PAGE OR YOUR WIFI WILL NOT WORK!

And this file: libganril.so

And this file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3016185/wificalling/libkineto.so

Flash the kernel (or fastboot it)

Then push the files by adb:

adb remount
adb push libganril.so /system/lib/libganril.so
adb push libkineto.so /system/lib/libkineto.so

Enjoy your wifi calling!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] umaro:
"Error searching for networks" fix

Hey guys,

One other problem I had with this rom is that it apparently ships with a pre-OTA libril.so, which makes the "search for networks" under mobile networks not work.

This is a problem for me, because t-mobile doesn't have good coverage in my area, but a roaming partner does. This lets you search for, and select a specific provider.

NOTE: I have noticed that WIFI calling seems to override this choice when it's (de)activated sometimes, but not all the time.

Download this file: libril.so

Then push it and reboot:

adb remount
adb push libril.so /system/lib/libril.so
adb reboot

Now it should be fixed.

This libril.so was extracted from Enomther's TheOfficial rom, though I believe that it came from the OTA originally.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JPHCCFC:
Been playing with inbuilt internet calling. I'm having an issue when I go to the dialer and select the contact picture it doesn't have the sip phone icon so I can place an internet call it only has the default phone icon. I can set it in call settings to ask me or use internet calling when a data connection is available but I would like to be able to make the choice as per the contact picture options. Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] poken1151:
Works perfectly, sexily and beautifully. I'm now a happy camper. I was holding back reverting from this rom just because I liked it, thanks a lot for the post and help.

OLD:

Hmm, not sure If I did something off, or if its from something else, but after flashing that kernel it kinda killed my wifi. Gonna try re-applying the old one and see if that fixes the issue.

Yea, more evidence that people don't like to read (ie. Myself). Lol, thanks for the heads up, see what happens when we rush due to excitement? Redoing this all no.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pimmr:
Sometimes after a boot or random when I wake up the screen, I see the default ROM lockscreen instead of my customized Widgetlocker screen. I then have to launch Widgetlocker once to re-enable it.

Is there a way to disable the default lockscreen completely?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] VoLoDaR1:
anyone know if there wil be a 1.5 update soon????? oh yeah GO PACK GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheShoura:
I noticed that my SetCPU was getting stuck in the screen-off profile often. open SetCPU and its fast again. Might be different issue

I really am angry with this issue

GPS takes 2-4 minutes to lock. Stock ROM is instantaneous. Help diagnosing? havent seen this brought up at all, might be isolated?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lucas155:
I have the same problem with GPS taking a long time to lock. On the stock ROM it's pretty much instant, so this is definitely something that I'd like to see fixed in 1.5.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jyc124:
use gps status and you'll get a lock within seconds. give it a shot
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jarski12345:
+1 It locks instantly now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] penars:
anybody else having issues with notifications not vibrating?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bronz_Most:
You mean like when you get a text message?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chobie:
I hope Darktremor's Apps2SD gets integrated with this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] penars:
yep that exactly. I have meebo IM setup to vibrate and light up the speaker led when I get a message and it does neither...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bronz_Most:
Open the stock messaging app, press menu and then select Settings, scroll down to Notifications Settings and set Vibrate.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheShoura:
Gps status took 10 minutes to lock while outside. Took 2-3 minutes just to get a satellite.

Ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jyc124:
I'm not really sure why it took that long, I've been using it for a while and I always get a lock within the first few seconds of opening the app. The only time it takes a little longer is while I'm driving. I tested it in my house and the gps signals got picked up instantly to my surprise.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chobie:
No problems with gps here. Locks after just seconds.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] timsterzzz:
Gps lock is fast here too, i've been using it as my daily driver for over a week now. looking forward to that 1.5 update.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] penars:
nope, doesn't work for me. probably an app issue? again, I am using Meebo IM. LED notifications don't work, but apparently it's a problem on all CM7-based ROMs?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thatruth132:
Any update soon
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] umaro:
I searched, but haven't seen any mention of userinit.sh woes.

It doesn't appear that run-parts is being run on /etc/init.d, though the files are there. It doesn't even look like /etc/init.local.rc is being executed.

I'm running pershoot's kernel, which is possibly part of the problem. Can anyone confirm that they are executing for them?

I am trying to set the OC values on boot, without setcpu or cputuner.

Thanks!

PS: can hardly wait for the update!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LGS1231:
Download something called GPS Status I believe. It updates your GPS when you run it. I had the same problem prior to downloading it as well-- it would take ages for the GPS to actually lock but it was a lot faster after I downloaded GPS Status.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ccb04:
Which kernel do I need to flash to get the Wifi and hotspot to work? I dont care about the wifi calling right now. I'm having trouble getting the wifi to work and I read before asking. Any help plz :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
Yeah its on its way, Nathan has just been very very busy lately with other work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nprussell:
I'm actually just fixing an error. For the most part, to save system switching, I compile on my Mac. It seems there's a problem right now with compiling on the Mac.

So... I'm in the process of reconfiguring my ubuntu build for compiling.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] urmybaby:
it sounds like 1.5 is on the way, good job, cheers very best
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jarski12345:
Mount system before flashing the kernel. Works with pershoot kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dinglehoofis:
According to Russell's twitter 1.5 will be out today and he'll be doing some development on the Hero lol.

cant wait either.. any eta?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cmccollough:
im dying here
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CarpeNoctem:
For the next version it would be great to have the AVCRP 1.3 or 1.4 implemented in order to use bluetooth device.

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JPHCCFC:
Doesn't look like 1.5 will show up tonight!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cmccollough:
I'm not giving up hope yet. I need something to do
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] VoLoDaR1:
update update update lol sorry
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Critical Jeff:
I hope the video playback is fixed in the next version. Also

Does anyone know how to get the download "app" to work? I tried renaming my downloads folder to "download" on my sdcard and still nothing showed up. What's the trick?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fetusbeats:
?

so im stuck on gingerbread, and can only use my backup with is a gingerbread one, when i reload cwm 2.5.x through fastboot its doesnt work just loas the rom and never boots past the htc screen. being stuck on gingerbread aint the worst but i always like to move around. any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bronz_Most:
Did you wipe EVERYTHING first?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fetusbeats:
.

well wiped eveything save for the fat 32 partintion on the sd card. so yeah.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chobie:
I hope the sticky notification bubble i.e. "loading albums and photos" gets fixed on the next update!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Quistnix:
@fetusbeats: Tried installing Rom Manager and using that to flash CWM 2.5.1.3?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fetusbeats:
yeah, that was the first thing i tried. im at the point where i might just have to unroot and make sure to do a backup before 2.3
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
I reverted to Virtuous once already (back on 2.3 though).

- Copy a 2.3 and 2.2.1 ROM to your SD card (2.3 just in case something goes wrong)

- Just boot up your 2.3, install and run Rom Manager, tell it to flash the 2.x recovery. You can use fastboot I think.

- Then reboot into recovery (should not be orange anymore) and wipe all to factory (data, cache and dalvik).

- Flash any 2.1.1 ROM and kernel like Virtuous (not sure it's necessary though).

- Restart recovery and restore your 2.2.1 backup.

I think some of the steps are not necessary but it worked for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ccb04:
Thanx worked fine..By the way can those steps to get the wifi calling to work be done with root explorer instead of using adb? And what settings are you using for setcpu. My battery drained 40% over night set at 1.3 and screen off at 245 :mad:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JPHCCFC:
any news on 1.5? thought it was meant to arrive yesterday?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arich:
I imagine that if it had we would have a buggy build so he's waiting till he can give us a complete product. I don't mind waiting if it means more stability and a better experience ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xSunny:
Damn these updates are to slow.. Ugh.. =[ My GPS is giving me problems and stuff as well so i was hoping this update was gonna come soon come on Russell you can do it =]
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LGS1231:
I'm wondering if the v1.5 will fix the wifi calling issue. It can never connect, and I saw that a user posted some files to possibly fix the issue, but if v1.5 fixes the issue, I will just wait it out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chobie:
Just wondering if this supports A2SD? (DarkTremor's)

And by the way, the www .com key on the keyboard inputs a [] box instead.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
I am running the 1.5 test build now.

Any specific bugs anyone wants me to check out? as far as I know everything is working so far.

I can't test wifi calling sorry.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JPHCCFC:
if you enable internet calling in the call settings does it display the internet calling icon when you click on a callers picture?

Had the video half blue screen issue been fixed? Not sure if this is just playback our recording

what's the battery life like?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] RiTZiE_CDN:
Anyone else not receiving voicemail notifications with this rom?

I didn't realize I had voicemail until I was asked why I didn't return a call... lol

Sent from my HTC DZ using the XDA App
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dinglehoofis:
I actually have to manually dial the number for VM, I guess it's not set due to it running on many different phones across many different carriers. But for some reason I remember not having to set that in CM X.X

It would explain not getting notifications anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
I use Hullomail so I wouldn't know.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] umaro:
1. Are the scripts in /etc/init.d running on boot? They aren't with 1.4.

2. Also, does "search for networks" work? 1.4 is using a pre-OTA libril.so which doesn't allow you to see the list of network operators (and pick one to force). You just have to replace libril.so from the OTA. Cyanogenmod bug report Here.

3. Do the screen off/on animations work with 1.5Ghz OC?

Those 3 are all I can think of, right now.

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
3. That always worked for some anyway (and I am one of them that it always worked for)

2. it seems to be "searching" forever so I would guess this problem still exists

can't test 1 now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jarski12345:

Just set a screen off profile at stock speed and wake up issues are gone. I found CpuBoost better than setcpu.

e: typo
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Quistnix:
I got 3 working by going to Spare Parts, setting all animation speed to "normal" and turning fancy input animations off.Might be a fix.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tommebaas:
When you slide out the keyboard the dock isn't gingerbread anymore.

I don't know how to explain it so here are pictures.

Pics:

It looks like the dock goes froyo.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
On the CM7 nightly something similar happens with the lock screen when you hvae the phone locked with the keyboard out you get the froyo lockscreen.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cmccollough:
I'm confused here. When do the rest of us get to test out 1.5?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tommebaas:
Yes it's also with this rom, landscape likes to go froyo lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bronz_Most:
The strange thing is when I was running CM 6.1.1, I themed it with a gingerbread theme, and the launcher did the exact same thing in landscape mode. This was before this ROM was released.

Could it be that this is "normal" for some reason?

P.S.: I like your wallpaper :p source please?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Sadly I don't think anyone but the dev's are testing out 1.5 yet. But be patient, good things come to those who wait
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tommebaas:
Here you go dude :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheShoura:
Go outside and open google maps and tell me how long it takes to get a lock. Thats the ONLY problem I have with this ROM LOL GPS takes ****ing forever

A feature I hope to be added soon is battery % in the status bar instead of icon that is useless (battery is 72 percent and it looks like its full)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nprussell:
1.5 is up!

2.0 - THE BIG ONE, is in progress
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tbalden:
Maybe u are already using, but battery indicator app is a good workaround.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BriEE:
Is these AOSP roms ever going to be fixed for the VM notification problem for the HTC Desire Z? Only HTC sense roms work for this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
Downloading now and will test :D

But maybe in next version,there is the ADW launcher

from CM7 Nightlys included,it`s a little bit better

and more options!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cwirth7:
This made my week. Downloading. Will flash and give my $.02
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tommebaas:
installing right now!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tommebaas:
If the battery percentage is WITHIN the battery that would be great.

Not that you have another battery indicator
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheShoura:
I hate that thing man I dont like redundant things for display. I want the battery Icon to be % so im not wasting space on another notification lol

funny my download on another rom just finished, I think Ill put it away and update first :D

open market,

search "ADW"

download ADW Launcher with blu icon

Then why don't you just use cm7 or download ADW? I thought the team said it's not their intention to build a copy of cm7..

I like how smooth the stock launcher runs, even though ADW has more possibilities for customization..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tbalden:
Yeh, definitely. When I switched to cm7 now I use launcherpro. Adw is laggy with cm7.

Vanilla launcher was much smoother with villain afair.
