if it is a money issue on getting this hard drive replaced, then I'm willing to donate to this 'special cause'. There is a lot of people looking forward to this thing working again.

:)Just send me a link, and I'll gladly donate a few $$ to help speed things up. As long as I know my $$ will go to the correct place.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] d0nat0:
waiting for an official nightly is not that bad, there's a bunch of people here posting KANGS based on the latest work anyway. 3 days, 4 days, even a week is better than hoping that the carrier will even include half of the optimizations we get from devs.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
That's not the issue. It's some pages back now, but on twitter Chris Soyars, who runs the servers and the buildbot, tweeted that he was going to be testing the new hard drives for a few days to see if they hold or meltdown again. So it is up and running, but not connected. You guys should really check out some of the stats at cyanogenmod.com. There are so many downloads that they have to run some serious servers and they do all of this on their spare time.

I'm not saying no one here is being appreciative, but we all need to exhibit some patience when it comes to these things. Also, the fact that we are lucky enough here in this forum to have a few guys with the knowledge who are willing to take matters into their own hands and share with us the latest updates is awesome and really what the Android community is or should be about. It's a shame there are other people on other forums who don't get that and immediately flame someone who is just trying to help. Ok, stepping of my soapbox now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:
I’m sorry what is KANG? Is it some kind of acronyms? :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] d0nat0:
hahaha my auto correct changed it... work related acronym.

KANG. Keyed And Not Generated.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
A kang is when someone builds cyanogenmod from source on their own machine. Its like the latest nightly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gee one:
I thought kang was more like modding a rom, usually without actually building it. I think the user built roms are -kanged to differentiate them from the nightlies or other releases.

sent from my cyanogen(mod) vision
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] superg81:
that is not correct. it is building from cm source on our own machines. nothing is different unless we choose to incorporate an open commit.then the end user is told"hey,something added for you to test" if i build the same time as buildbot,you get the EXACT same nightly.if i build early in the morning,you get whatever commits were used overnight after the nightly was released which will be in the next nightly from cm.you just get it a bit early.

there was a pic pages back with it looking transparent or at least semi-transparent. mine's black... what am I missing?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
No, it'll say ENG S-OFF, or something like that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] apollostees:
Top of the bootloader screen says "VISION PVT ENG S-OFF" If it is. I asked because you can't flash recovery from fastboot without it.

Any way Hot_Hands created this custom PC10IMG.ZIP:

This can get you out of a semi-brick. And it will give you CWM2.5

When flashing PC10IMG.ZIPs make sure you keep the phone pluged into power

and pay attention to all instructions. You should consider this a last resort thing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KoolKidsKlub:
To check if you have the ENG	HBOOT, boot into fastboot with volume down and power and if it says SHIP S-OFF then you have the stock HBOOT, if you have the ENG HBOOT then it will say ENG S-OFF.

The definition of Kanged as related to coding:

To have one's developer code and work taken, manipulated, rebranded, and re-released by someone else with no credit.

Example: Ultimate Droid kanged CyanogenMod by taking CM's code, theming the ROM, and then re-releasing it without taking out CM-specific easter eggs, and stripping out the credit and changelog for the CyanogenMod developers.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
IIRC, it started as a joke referring kingklick92 who would often take ROMs or code and release it as his own. The above happened as well.

This should be obvious but I'll say it: Nightlies are a convenience to track developers but they are not a service.

The only builds officially supported are the official builds and maybe the RCs. Anything else is just leisure and convenience of a dev, privileged access, that can come and go at any time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sparksco:
Yes they are I just merged a patch for speedy last night. The buildbot server and the git servers are not the same. So for us that are building we don't have to wait for buildbot :P

G2/Vision Kang update

Items from CM's Gerrit(http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#q,status:open,n,z)- I have manually cherry-picked

* Custom option for menu long press

* Ability to swap volume keys in selected orientation

* Add into jni the possibility to seek freq. for FM Radio Station

* Resend option to the context menu in Mms app

* Report battery heuristics to /rom

* Enable freetype hints for people that want to switch fonts to ones that support hints

These builds are unofficial and I take no responsibility if you brick your phone-

i googled it and found a version that seemed to be for an HTC mecha/Incredible HD.

You can flash any of the recent builds and extract it manually or using the extract-files.sh script.

Last I checked, it will complain about a missing wifi apk, but the build uses MS-HTCVISION-blah-GB.apk

You might have to move or pull this manually to the proprietary folder.

Clear as mud, eh?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yogi2010:
I can confirm this, just resolved the problem for myself today. I am new at this, but am I correct in thinking that you can look in that one document you told me about, vision-vendor-blobs.mk, and see which proprietary files the build will look for, and where it will look for them?

True. Sometimes I prefer the stables instead of the nightlies. I had my flashing fix back when I had my vibrant. Flashing sometimes 2 roms a day. Now, even though my signature says I use nightlies, I really prefer stables.

I know nightlies are REALLY a luxury, but isn't it true that the devs pay attention to what is reported back (referring to that pesky CyanogenMod popup agreement) and they read and listen to us who comment on the issues with these nightlies especially in this specific forum. Its in the devs best interest for us to have these nightlies.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gee one:
Yup- the files should be copied into vendor/htc/vision/proprietary/

I don't have it open, but the actual blobs file might show vendor/$manufacturer/$device/proprietary - htc and vision will be substituted at runtime and probably defined by brunch

The MS-HTCVISION app will go to the same place, but will be built into /system/app/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
The way I see it, the CM devs have the same attitude with the nightlies as, for example, Canonical does for Ubuntu when they're working on the latest distro. If you know where to find it you can run it, but understand you're now part of the debugging process. If you know where to find the repos, you could probably be using an early and very buggy version of Ubuntu 11.10.

It's really cool to be a part of something like this where you can discover a bug and let people know and it gets fixed. I love this stuff!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
not really, as the current builds of ubuntu 11.10 that ive seen havent been even remotely usable :P but it is a similar concept
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
and don't we love Ubuntu Unity, instead of Gnome?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] david279:
Why don't you guys just get the proprietary files from here. That's what I do. Easy Button.

https://github.com/koush/proprietary_vendor_htc
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
I'll continue the instructions since most people won't know what to do with that link.

Download the .zip once your at that page. Extract it to your vendor/htc directory within your android build dir.

I.e. For me its android/system/vendor/htc/

Then from command line do a "make clean" and a "make clobber" then a "repo sync"

I just was taught this a few days ago....and man was it helpful.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
amen :) I've found myself using Ubuntu more and more over my windows 7 partition now that unity replaced gnome (although Ill admit, Im intrigued by the upcoming gnome 3.0, to see what is different and if its any better).

Ahem, back on topic, thanks for the proprietary files link, that makes things WAY easier :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] autom8r:
Wow, thanks for the last KANG, just flashed and this is the best and snappiest my phone has ever felt! Real word usage feels much faster, everything is a bit smoother than before.

Quadrant hit 2455 @ only 1205 mhz overclock!

Very impressed, you can tell even this XDA app is faster!

http://autom8r.com
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gee one:
You can log in with "Ubuntu classic" to get the gnome desktop

... or even better you can edit your /boot/grub/grub.cfg and boot to the command line- get rid of the vt.handoff=7(?) command and replace it with text.

If you want to get really fancy you could copy the GUI menuentry and make a text version so that you have the option at startup. There's an init.d folder and a .conf file somewhere if you don't want to edit the file that says not to edit it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SomEngangVar:
Hm. Looks like the kang/Pershoot's latest solved my o/c wake issues. At least after a days worth of use that is. I'll have to look for Gravis' backlight spreadsheet he posted a while back.

Does anyone here play any of the Storm8 games (iMobsters, Ninjas Live, etc etc), and has the stuff on screen stick to/as the background when scrolling on recent KANG'd builds? It never happened on the last official nightly (which I believe is 92?) and doesn't happen on stock Sense ROMs.
