Okay gotta try, thank you Mr.

EDIT: I just noticed screen goes back ON when i press power two or three times but it goes back to black in 0.5seconds.. It just doesnt go on normally.

EDIT EDIT: I wiped cache+dalvic cache and now all works normally. overclocked to 1500 on demand and have screen on/off animations on.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
Screen animations set to fast will disable the crt animation.

Also, the problem really comes with OC past around 1200mhz, as we've discussed in detail in the various other threads. This forum is starting to get upsetting, lol. I may really have to get a Nexus S. So many g2/Z owners are so clueless. Searching is super simple. People are too damn lazy and stupid nowadays. Not talking to you Lenny, lol, just looking at the last couple of pages, it's beyond depressing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AquaG2:
I completely, 100% agree with you!!! In all honesty, the best way to learn, is to learn from others mistakes!! I have had only one problem, which wasn't solved by simply reading posts!!! I think people are way to f'n lazy, and wants everyone else to pretty much do it for them!! So if anyone wants their phone rooted, rom flashed, theme flashed, or have a problem they want fixed, and are to lazy to figure it out!! Send your phone to Me and ill do whatever you want to it, for a fee of $300, plus you have to pay for shipping!!! So, in other words, spend some time reading other people's posts, and it will save you, and everyone else alot of frustration!!! I'm now being a ****"!! READ. READ READ READ

If I could seriously make money doing this, I'd feel so bad, but I'd probably do it, lol. $50 to temp root! $75 for perm root! $50 for sim unlock! $20 to load a custom ROM. $20 to load a recovery. $10 to fix wifi! $30 for the crt animation! lol. I am always down to help out those with genuine problems, but something like Wifi not working, when it's been discussed in length, is annoying. Or the capacitive buttons, or the crt animation, or flashing the ROM/Gapps, etc.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmcsc:
Geez, what's with the cursing, people? Is it really necessary?

Nandroid is working pretty fine from within CMW3 itself, but not from ROM Manager. They gotta update that app now, heh.

Running 1.4, running smoothly, Market working (thanks to dictionary's help a few hours back and now because of 1.4)! The upgrade from 1.3 to 1.4 went smooth, like butter. I expected it to be more time-consuming, but it wasn't. Gladly surprised. Still feels weird to have those CRT-style on/off animations but I love them. Google certainly did a great job making Gingerbread; CM and VR teams sure are the best thing this phone has.

Keep up the great work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
I didn't curse!! Glad I could help ya though. Yeah, unless they state in the OP (original post) that you need to do a full wipe in upgrading to the new version, all you need to do is boot into recovery, wipe cache, then wipe dalvik cache (advanced), and then flash the ROM. Bingo bango, you're ready to reboot and enjoy newest version. ROM Manager, as nice as it is for n00bs, really to me is more cumbersome than it's worth, lol. I only use it to flash the 2.5.1.xxx recovery if I have to restore an old Nandroid, and NEVER otherwise. I initially used it to install the first recovery back when I rooted, because I was lazy. It really has no other value to me. Once you get accustomed to working with the recovery, you'll find you use ROM Manager less and less.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] VoLoDaR1:
i agree im used to useing amon ras on my MyTouch 3G the only thing i use the ROM Manager is to reboot into recovery but now this ROM i can reboot into recovery from th epower option so yeah ROm Manager is useless to me lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] urmybaby:
one question after I update to 1.4 version when I click on villainrom setting, the update notification and user statistics data are FC force close every time. I tried reboot , wipe cache ,devlk, fix permission. Still force close. Any help will be appreciate.

Anybody dealing with the screen flickering and have a solution? Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
If you don't mind widgets, try Reboot Control Widget, by Protocol - X. You can either Hot Boot, Reboot into Recovery, Reboot into Bootloader (fastboot), Reboot Phone, Power Off, etc. It's what I use, and works every single time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
Read. It's been discussed on the last two pages. Don't be lazy.

Flickering how? Powering on/off the device?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JPHCCFC:
Do i need to do a full wipe going from 1.3 - 1.4?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bronz_Most:
...........*sigh*

EDIT: Sorry man, but read what dictionary has to say and follow the advice. (I assume) you're a big boy so you can do this!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stea1thmode:
if 1.3 is running smooth for you then there'e no need to full wipe.

but if you're fussy then just cache and dalvik will do
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] urmybaby:
So the cm fc is not a rom issue, we have to wait for cm server up. I'm asking because the cm update notification and user statistics data are working fine in 1.3.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
It's a ROM issue. Not sure what borked it on the 1.4 build, but really, it's nothing you should worry yourself about. Honestly, if you're running Villain ROMs, the upate will only notify you of CM stuff. That being said, I believe they may have a build coming out one of these days (I'm still on 1.3, and can attest that it doesn't FC, though I don't use it anyway.), so I'd just hold tight.

Display flickering on 1.4

Yes, the display is flickering sometimes when you turn the display/power on. In this cases you cannot see anything on the display; you has to power the display off and try next.

Maybe it has to do with OC. I overclocked with SetCPU to 1,5GHz and get the problems (with GingerVillain v1.4).

Now I have "only" 1,0GHz and there seems to be no problems more...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
Yeah, it's a known issue with the screen off animation, when overclocked. That's why Cyanogen Disabled it by default. Personally I don't go up above 1209mhz, so I'm fine. You may want to increase from 1ghz slowly until you find the sweet spot for your device though. For now, it looks like anything below 1209mhz is fine. Over that, you'll definitely experience issues. This won't change with 1.5, or 1.6, until CM does something about it. Right now the only options are, crt animation and minimal overclock, or no crt animation, and max overclock
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
I think it`s a Overclock,or maybe device/kernel problem.

Tried to disable the animations,trackpad wake too.

Crt animation and minimal overclock.

Problems still there.

Also disbaled the Window and Transition animations at Spare Parts.

Nothing helps!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xomikronx:
Not a major issue, but when I reboot, ok list also labeled ok for cancel.

This is kinda why I like to stick with Team Villain tbh, they were equally fast with the Hero...I seem to remember Ninpo pushing like 3 updates per wek at one point for the Hero ROM's.

Loving this build of Gingervillain, the more I use it the more I like Gingerbread, especially the icons changing colour when connected to Google services...brilliant.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sanfran:
Thanks

.. to all people who worked on this ROM. I am using version 1.4 since today morning - very stable and I could not find any "major" issues with this ROM.

Thanks for the hard work!

My music isn't sorted correctly anymore since I started using this rom. I was on cyanogen 6.1.1. Its like its not reading the tags because I have one unknown artist with 61 albums and then all my albums aren't named correctly. The album art doesn't work and telling it to get art doesn't work. I did it manually for each album, but the albums aren't labeled correctly so it took some time figuring out what was what. Telling it what directory my music is in also doesn't change anything, the ringtone folders and some app sounds are still in the lists.

HTC delivered their Desire Z with an FM Radio. This doesnt come with one and there is not one on the market either(besides those requiring internet), will one come with this ROM at some point?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bronz_Most:
TeamVillain,

Is it your intention to maintain Gingervillain as a CM/Vanilla Gingerbread mix? Like will development for this ROM go down a different path of even stop once a stable version of CM7 has been released?

I personally like the fact that it's part CM and part vanilla, but again that's just me ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] itstony:
wat

rebooting fixes wifi. Thank you. We should note that on front page.

Thanks :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nprussell:
It will take a different route to CM7, and I'll eventually revert back to the stock AOSP apps in many cases (such as music). Whilst Music cube is a superior app to the stock music app, many people prefer vanilla to be vanilla. I personally wouldn't use either music app anyway. Poweramp all the way.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pimmr:
I flashed 1.4 yesterday, did a full wipe + cleaned Dalvin cache.

The previous versions have been running fine for me but with this version the screen doesn't wake up. I can see the soft buttons light up, but the screen stays black. I have to keep pressing it on/off, and at one point it comes to live again. It doesn't matter if I enable or disable the new TV tube animation.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
Lower your overclock, I hear 1.2 is a good value for people who are having problems
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nprussell:
The answer below is correct.

It doesn't affect everyone - but it affects me. I assume you're running at 1.5 Ghz. Well, try it at 1 Ghz, and a I guarantee you'll have no issue. Then, increase one step to see what you can get away with. As Lenny rightly says, I get away with 1.2Ghz, but some are fine at 1.5 Ghz.

The cause of this is the new screen on/off animations.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pimmr:
Thanks guys, lowered it to 1 Ghz, and that seems to fix it!

I will play around to see what it can handle at max.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
Like I explained several pages back, every phone can overclock differently, just because one phone is seeminly stable at 1.8 (for example) doesn't mean every phone will be.

You used to really notice the difference in overclocking to a phone back in days of phones like the HTC Hero, but since then its rare to notice, however Gingerbread in its current form is obviously for some reason highlighting these issues at the moment.

My phone is almost 100% at 1.5Ghz I have had a couple of wake issues but it always wakes up at second attempt and its only happened a couple of times.

But like Nathan said, drop it to 1ghz then gradually step it up until you know your phones limit.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nprussell:
On this occasion, it's not necessarily the phone's 'limit' though.

My phone runs totally stable (and suprisingly cool) at 1.8Ghz, and I've run it at 1.5Ghz since I got it. The problem is, these bloody animations are interfering with it. I need to logcat it and do some actual work on figuring out that cause.

So - whilst it does appear some phones can handle the OC + animations better than others, there will be a fix for it eventually, so you'll be able to run your phone at 1.5Ghz again.

HI

First of all , i really appreciate all your great works!

I downloaded gingervillain today and flashed it.Then there's a question ,my phone is desize z （not tmobile g2)，the four touch buttons can not work ,even if i tried to use the CM6 keyboard patch for desize z.

So, can you help me out? There must be lots of guys waiting for that, thanks~~

the 1.4 or the previous editions?:confused:

They don't display de symbol but only the letter of the hardware keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
if your asking that question then you are currently not overclocking at all :)

If however your asking because you want to then the app SetCPU which is in the market (paid) or on xda (free, just search) is the best app for the job.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sanfran:
Battery life....

...with version 1.4 seem to be worse than version 1.3.

After 4 hours (fully charged) the battery is down to 55%,

'Android System' use is about 79% ....

Any ideas?

Thanks,

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tuanda82:
Thanks.

I try Quadrant Benchmark but is not run... so I think this rom automatically OC my phone...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bronz_Most:
It is my understanding that a ROM does not overclock your phone, but often comes with a kernel that can give you the opportunity to do so (e.g. using SetCPU) if you wish...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
A kernel can force higher speeds on you depending on how it was built, however the kernel in this rom will not do so.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] harolds:
Track pad wake is an option that is set off by default.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gwanatu:
Alright so a couple of things. Just so everyone knows, even though this has been discussed in other threads before, I had to install the HTC Sync software before I could get the phone to tether. PDANet works, but it restricts HTTPS sites, and that's pretty important (and I don't want to pay for something I already get for free).

Aside from that, the only other annoying bug is with the power widgets on the notification bar. I use the mobile data widget often, and there seems to be a problem with it registering whether data is off or on. For example when data is on, I pull down the notification bar and click data off, and the widget icon doesn't change state even though data turns off. Clicking the icon again makes data turn on, however the widget icon now displays data off. Reopening the notification bar makes it display the correct state (on or off), so again it's not a huge deal or a game breaker, but it's annoying.

Also I've been having severe stability issues with GO Launcher, and have switched to ADW EX for the time being. After maybe 30 minutes of the phone being on GO Launcher starts lagging quite a bit, and eventually starts asking me to wait or FC. I didn't experience this on FroYo.
