I'm fine with the MIUI launcher. Kinda defeats the purpose to replace it with a "normal" android launcher IMHO.

Interesting... It hasnt caused me problems in any way, but it is definitely annoying. Ill look into calling. CM7 doesn't find my number either, but theres simply a setting to input it manually. If MIUI had it I'd be fine.

Thats what I do. I just made one called "MIUI Apps" to put all the stock junk I won't use in, and an "Others" folder for things like music, calendar, etc. that I already have widgets out for on the homescreen.

Overall, MIUI is super slick. The folders are 100000x better than stock android, much more usable.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Latitude was enabled by default in one of the Maps releases, go into Latitude settings and make sure the auto checkin "feature" is disabled.

Also, I could be wrong but, I believe Maps will show as running if you use any thing that pulls location info (ie. weather widgets).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
I know everyone is tired of waiting for the nightlies to come back and are flashing other ROMs but, can we please keep other ROM discussions off this thread and stay on topic? If I wanted to read about peoples issues with/thoughts on MIUI I'd read the MIUI thread.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
makes sense. but since there really is nothing else going on with the nightlies why not take a tangent for 1 or 2 pages to see what people are doing to pass the time? I mean have you read the thread in the last 10 pages? its all just BS about what people are doing while waiting for nightlies to come back...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wilnotdie:
Yeah, cm will be back stronger then ever. Developement hasn't stopped. Its just like when cm was hired by samsung. Public releases aren't up yet, but I feel another huge changelog coming soon.

Ps..I thought I read that miui isn't based on cm. Weird, owell :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
The Maps service is always running in the background on my phone, too, but It's not eating battery. Did you check in Spare Parts to see exactly what was eating the battery?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
yea, i also read it isnt based on cm. yet it is. its only a heavy themed cm if you ask me, and yes ive tried it numerous times. its a nice change but after a couple days it gets horribly laggy. cm on the other hand never lags out for me. which is why im a die hard cm crack flasher :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
same here. Maps is almost always running on my system but I don't see it effecting battery life.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gtmaster303:
Are nightlies ever coming back? Haven't seen a break like this...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Nightlies will come back once kernel.org is back online.

I flashed back to a rooted stock ROM and I got the GB OTA!! It'll probably brick my phone if I flash it, but it's better than nothing...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Umm... you've been able to get the rooted OTA of Gingerbread here on the forum for a while...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
i have to confess something. To easy my crack flashing addiction, i flashed the rom "Vision-Desire-HD-Sense 3.0-Native-WVGA- 2.3.5 (v1.1)" which is a Sense rom. I played around with it yesterday for the whole day, and it is definitively different from CM7. I ended up coming back to CM7 using my CMR backup.

I have my thoughts regarding my sense rom adventure, which I wont go into it here since this thread is for CM7 nightlies.

I'm glad i'm back! You know the grass is NEVER greener on the other side of the fence. With all my 'GOONIE' style adventure, nothing compares to the polished rom CyanogenMod team has developed. Hell, I even received an important text message through GV, which I never knew about until i completed my CM7 restore. Yeah! Even though I had GV installed and running on my G2 running a sense rom, I NEVER got notified about a text message until i came back to CM7!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, don't be to tempted to flash another rom. It's not the same. Really, trust me!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Wireless location will cause maps to maintain a wakelock. I usually turn that off, but I generally get a whole 24 hours with my stock battery with medium usage and Tasker activating data every 15minutes, wifi every half an hour, autosync every two hours. That said, I have 2 1800mah batteries in my arsenal and a G2 battery charger that I leave one battery on whenever its practically dead.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Um... No.

Wireless Location will cause Maps to maintain a service running in the background. Not the same as a wakelock. The running service shouldn't be draining your battery.

If Maps is indeed causing a wakelock then something is wrong.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
Tbh I added to the fire in this which I apologize. Was only interested to hear what others were doing to cure their addiction. I didn't mean the thread to turn into a Q&A for those roms also

So please, let's try and keep thread on topic as best we can

No harm in this once in a while since Nightlies aren't in production, but we don't want this thread to become a Q&A for said roms as well

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
I agree... no extra battery drain... well, maybe a slight, non noticible one. It will chew up a bit of free ram so that's something to consider. I just set all my locations manually (for weather etc.) and leave it off.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gee one:
yeah, I know- I even downloaded the OTA when it was posted on XDA. I wasn't surprised to find that the hashes are identical, but at least it felt like I was about to flash a new ROM.

Onto the next project... Building a rooted GB ROM from the OTA- just for educational purposes only.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Well clearly...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
come on nightlies.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
Wow! Here im back 16 hours later (see the post above) with no other posts from anyone? 16 hours with no one posting anything?

This is after a moderator or senior xda(ier) has gotten on folks for geting off topic, and talking about other roms.

Now they've gone to their specific rom threads, and left this nightly thread dormant.

Hello? (echo: hello, hello)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
What's to post? There are a couple nightly-based roms that run nicely. Try those until we get some news or nightly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
as of the latest nightly, how long does your battery last? i am on the OTA gingerbread update (2.3.4) for the G2. i am only getting about 15hrs on it (almost no calls, texting at least 20-30 times a day or more, background apps running like twitter, gmail.) i was wondering if CM7 is any better? your answers are appreciated :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Battery life depends a lot on usage, as you know. I'd say after flashing a new build, wiping batterystats, and give your phone around a week to rebuild average batterystats... then see how it is. As for the nightlies, its about 8 hours for me. I do stream 2-3 hours a day, browse for a couple, and a couple hours of games. Average user, you, 15 hours sounds pretty healthy. That's about what most folks get. If you need more, invest in a bigger battery, extra charger, and pick a conservative kernel for OCing (like smartass, scary, etc.) I doubt flashing any other rom will help much, at least nothing substantial or worth switching for.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
I get about 20 hours out of a full charge. A few phone calls. A lot of texts. A lot of browsing and market use. 1113max 245min.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
depends on your use, but with mine I'd see a few more hours out of CM7 when compared to pre-rooted OTA stock.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
i am using a rooted OTA stock. does that make a difference?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
difference from what? thats the exact ROM I was using to compare lol. I was answering your question?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
lol, sorry. you said in your post about a pre-rooted OTA rom. i am using a rooted OTA rom. i was just wondering if having it rooted has better battery life than a pre-rooted one, which i doubt :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
... rooted and pre-rooted are the same thing lol. "pre-rooted" just means that the ROM was rooted when you flashed it. Since there's no root method for 2.3 when its installed on your phone already that's the only way to get it...

But no, rooting your phone doesn't magically make the battery last longer, its what you do with the root afterwards that can improve battery life. Unfortunately, there aren't any custom kernels or anything for the 2.3 OTA so you're kinda stuck.

Make a nandroid backup of your current setup and flash CM7. I would assume you'll see some kind of battery life improvement and surely a performance improvement.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Zaiaku:
As stated before depends on what you doing. GPS always on. This is a screen shot of mine. Almost 2 days off a single charge. Wifi never turned off even when going to store and driving around. Alot of texting, some email and browsing but very little. About 15min of gaming. Some usage or market but again just a little. a few short phone calls maybe 3 of them about less then 5 min each. Some foursquare usage. Don't have twitter but do have facebook, light usage of that too. Also took a few pics with the flash and usage of flashlight from led.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rkwhyte2:
Battery Life

Here is the one thing I have done to improve my battery life. WiFi mine is always on when I'm at my house along with the WiFi calling feature that TMo offers. I used to have 25 to 35 % drain overnight and now using the WiFi that has changed to 5 to 15 %. For me at least this is a huge deal.

Sudden Tethering problems?

I use the built-in wifi tethering at least 3-4 times/week. Nothing has changed on my phone in about a week (since there have been no nightlies :-) ) Suddenly, today, I can connect to the wifi tethering hotspot, but only get speeds way below edge on the PC that is tethered. (I've tried a chromebook and a macbook pro) Running a speed test on the G2 itself gives me 4699kbps down/999kbps up so this is very strange... A reboot didn't fix it. Is this happening to anyone else?

Update: Nevermind, it just started working. Very strange..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
alright, i will make that backup, and restore my old cm7 backup. i trust your judgment in battery life improvement :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gee one:
Well, for lack of anything better to flash, and because I was having weird phone issues (actual problems related to the phone for making calls), I decided to return to stock, reroot, and then flash back to whatever nightly I flashed last. The nightly is from 8/20, maybe 174?

The process went pretty smoothly. I flashed the stock ROM through hboot. I don't think that I ever lost s-off, although I wasn't paying too much attention after I was back to stock since I was more focused on rerooting and getting back to the familiar CM7. The stock ROM was kinda alien looking, although it reminded me of the few days I had a stock ROM before rooting it. I did get some bootloops going from rooted stock froyo to CM7 GB, but a little wiping fixed that.

If the CM7 dearth continues, I might have to bust out the G1 and flash some stuff on it.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] j.books:
hey, anyone know if the old security locks options from CM6 are ever going to come back? I'm talking about invisible dots and custom lockscreen message in particular. I really miss those features....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] burtcom:
So -- why can't the nightlies continue with the current kernel? :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
They can. But the buildbot is is most likely set to pull everything from git, and in my opinion it would be too much hassle to modify every build to not pull the kernel from git and use old files, and then change it back when everything is back to normal. Especially since there aren't a whole lot of changes being merged into CM right now anyway, it seems kinda pointless.

Ah nvmnd, last time I tried one pershoot I found a bug with zeam launcher, it didn't load, crashed with widgets, so thought its a kernel bug. But today I've found out that with default cm kernel it isn't working correctly either, it didn't update widgets. Adw work nicely, so now tried pershoot again, and everything is fine, smooth, cifs and even fm radio fires up too. Thanks!

What version of CWM are you using? And are you mounting system and data before you flash?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jcrompton:
Used EVERY Build prior to 12 - definitely something goofy with 12 -- gets a lot of lagginess and not as smooth with screen wake and with just everyday use.

Screen doesn't seem as responsive.

btw I'm using No Frills CPU govenor and set at 1.114ghz / 368 - ondemand and NO screen animations
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdWRX:
I'm using 3.0.0.7 right now. Also I'm using rom manager to flash nightly #12.

Also, not having crt animations, it hasn't been built yet?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
For future reference read through the thread properly before posting questions about issues that have all ready been answered.

I think you are getting ROM manager and CWM recovery mixed up, when you boot into recovery is the text green or orange?

If it is green you are using an old version of CWM, you need to be using CWM 3.0.0.x

If CWM is orange you have the right recovery and just need to make sure you are mounting system and data before flashing GAPPS.

If CWM is green I suggest having a good read through this thread and and this one to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=909714

Having a weird screen problem.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
CWM /= ROM Manager. Read the OP, and actually follow the directions and everything will work. I promise ;)

Screen wake issue

I'm not sure where to go to report bugs/help resolve them (the Google project is only for stable builds), but I thought it was worth mentioning that the screen wake issue appears to be exacerbated for me when the alarm is going off.

It happens randomly throughout the day normally (Builds 7, 8 and 11), but doesn't really bother me. Usually it only takes one (or two) screen powercycles to get it to come back.

However, when the alarm is going off, it can take 6+ screen cycles to get it to wake. Further, I find when a notification has sounded, it can take more cycles than average to get the screen on again (though nothing like as many as the alarm). Maybe the race condition is related to something in the sound system?

This is with an Asia/Pacific Desire Z (the kind that needs the keymap flashed), currently on Build #11, with a max overclock of 1.2GHz/ondemand governor.

Hopefully someone can replicate that and it helps the devs narrow down the source of the issue.

When I go into the recovery and try to install it, clockworkmod says it installed fine. However, when I reboot the phone into cm7, the gapps aren't there (Market, gmail, etc.). Anyone else run into this or have a suggestion to get them installed?

You need ClockworkMod Recovery version 3.0.0.0 or higher.

And no, Rom Manager and ClockworkMod Recovery are not the same thing.

Yes this is the g2 cm7 nightlies forum so I do have a g2 that is running cm7 which is 2.3.5 and you can get matted blues by searching for it on the market.

thanks but u never know cuz people post in this thread even when they have different phones and roms. just making sure
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] .A.J.:
I was also having terrible battery life on the last nightly. I switched to pershoots latest G2 kernel and it went back to normal. If they don't release a nightly tonight, you may want to try doing that.

Also, I figured since pershoots latest kernel was made almost a month before kernel.org was hacked it was likely safer than running 186's kernel.
