Just a heads up, the latest nightly not only changed my ringtones to the default but changed all of my alarms as well.

Worse yet, the alarms were barely audible, just an odd ticking sound, and their ringtone was listed as "Lock" (which isn't a ringtone at all)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Would really like to know why i get so many freezes. I could be doing anything randomly, nothing in particular causes it. My phone has been freezing since about the mid 60s(nightlies). It has happened quite a few times on a fresh install after a super wipe WITH efs. Before i even get out of the dam setup menu sometimes. So it's definitely not caused by an app cause it has happened without even a google app installed. And those times when it happens right on the first boot, thats after i let the phone sit for 15 minutes. Has been freezing approximately 5 times a day for about the past week. I love this rom too much to give up on it, but i'm about fed up. This is just boggling my mind. It sux to be honest!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] philosophics:
Superwipe?

Is formatting cache/dalvik not good enough now?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Well what i'm saying is i have started with 100% clean installs with superwipes + efs to try to deduce certain factors from the equation. It's either the rom or the phone hardware. But it does not happen on ANY other rom. So leads me to believe it's the rom. But then again this does not happen to anyone else....UGH.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
And to be honest i dont really understand the logcat crap. I have an app installed that shows it to me and such, but i dont know what i'm actually supposed to do with it or how to get it to someone that knows what to look for.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] philosophics:
aLogcat will show the errors in red. Don't know if that's the one your using...

How do you go about wiping efs?

And do you wipe all apps from the phone and then restore everything from the SD after flashing latest nightly?

Are you overclocking? And are you using the kernel built into cm or pershoot's?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Odd never had any issues like that with Cyan7
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Ok wow lol! I use superwipe + efs by whoever made that one. Yes i usually restore using titanium backup including data, but like i said this issue happens before i put one app on the phone. Yes i OC to 998 mhz and yes i use pershoots. And again, it has happened before i even get through the setup sometimes so i never had a chance to OC so it happens when NO OC is in place. I have not used the stock kernel in quite a while. But i have no recollection of this ever happening with it though.

Yes that is the logcat app i have. I will keep that in mind about the red. Is there a logcat always running? Or does it only run one when i open that app? Should i just leave it running at all time and then when the freeze happens start the phone backup and look at what happened at that point?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Are you doing it in this order? Flashing pershoots kernel before actually booting the rom with the stock kernel can cause issues from my experience. If you are doing it in this order then it is odd that you would be having reboot/freeze issues. (Could be that you need to get a warranty return).

Flash CM7

Flash Gapps

Reboot

Let phone settle in

Reboot recovery

Flash kernel

Reboot

Try that out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] philosophics:
If I were in your shoes, leaving aLogcat running until the freeze is what I would do.

That is very strange indeed. I have mine OC'd to 1056 max and left min alone. I also have a screen off profile - 368 max and again, min is left alone. Using SetCPU and pershoot onDemand

You're right, my device has never had a freezing issue but I get a random reboot once in awhile...

I thought superwipe was a term on wiping the device. Didn't know it was an app. I wipe everything through recovery. Never wiped efs and flashing the new radio (just the radio, nothing else like replacing ril) never gave me a problem either.

Getting a replacement phone wouldn't be a bad idea in my opinion. Yes, it's gonna be a pain in the rear but it sounds like something's going on with the device itself. Just get everything back to stock and make the call...

I maintain 3 different G2's. One being mine and the other 2 belong to friends. All have different setups. Mine having the most apps installed and oc'd with pershoot, the others just having a few and no oc with cm kernel. None have the problems you describe and none need anything more than a dalvik/cache wipe before latest nightly install.

I flash mine as so,

Wipe cache

Wipe dalvik cache

Flash nightly

Mount /data and /system

Flash pershoot

Reboot

I only flash gapps when a new one is released.

Your choice but getting a replacement would be the best bet...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
See i been flashing pershoots right after the rom install and gapps flash. Maybe that is where it is going wrong. This morning when i installed the new nightly, i actually did forget to flash pershoots kernel for about a good hour after it booted up. But i still got freezes after i went and flashed pershoot. It may because it wasn't a clean install. So later on i'm gonna try to do it that way. Thank you guys for trying to help. Ill let ya know what happens. Just dont have the motivation to set everything up again at the moment.

Edit: I should add that i dont flash the gapps everytime. Only one fresh installs.

I just manually pushed the files onto the phone then fixed permissions :)

Edit: Kinda realised that the above gave little to **** all info to you!

Basicly I extracted the Desire Z keyboard files from the Zip that we have been using, Then I merged them using WinSCP (The wireless way to access your files etc, was on the portal a few days back) you can use root explorer as well, I then rebooted into recovery & just fit fixed permissions.

Hope that's more helpful :-)

Nice one, I'll give it a try, though if you attached the merged file I'm sure a lot of users would appreciate it, myself included

I would recommend using Root Explorer :-) Don't forget to fix permissions afterwards as well!

Good luck & enjoy :)

For the last time, ALL TOPICS RELATED TO NETFLIX NEED TO BE DISCUSSED IN THE NETFLIX THREAD LOCATED IN THE GENERAL SECTION!

Netflix has nothing to do with the development section!!

I'm going to start reporting people who don't follow the rules around here. Watch your language as well. This is getting rediculous. You're really setting an example for the other people and the world who read this forum. Rules are not here to just be ignored. They are here to make this a better place...

I'm not a moderator but I do have a right to speak for the community I'm involved with.

I am in the process of creating my own theme and have been for the past month or so. Just waiting for templatebread to get updated so I can finish it off. Don't want to release a half finished theme. Did that back with CM4 and didn't get a good response (Meclairo - the link is in my sig).

My theme has been working with no problems or differences since I created it. Haven't used honeybread for quite some time so can't tell you if it's working or not in the latest nightlies but I imagine it would be...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] philosophics:
I was in a hurry. Even so, you get my point. Something needs to be done around here. It's getting annoying repeating myself over and over again. Ya ya, I'm not a moderator. Not my job. Get over it...

We are all apart of a community that people from all over obtain information from. If moderators won't do it, us senior members need to stand up and set the example that needs to be set. This forum is not here for name calling/back talking/ random chatting. It's here to help others in obtaining the information they need and getting help when they need it. There's sections within that is used for this sort of ...behavior. Then there's sections (like the one we're in right now) that are used for development and development only.

People need to start following the rules but the epidemic of people getting hard on the keyboard is increasing and this will never happen anytime soon unless, as I stated above, set the example that needs to be set.

By the way, 77 is up and Netflix works. There is absolutely no reason to discuss netflix in this thread now.

Thank you for your time, now let's get back on topic...

You can't push those files. You might as well just flash the newest nightly.

I tend to agree with the above post. We do appear to get repeated posts asking the same questions over and over again, plus we have other users using this thread as a general catchup. Please try and keep thread on topic, search beforehand and abide by forum rules.

Now you have to understand that we get 5000 new users each day and the group of moderators who work hard on these forums cannot possibly manage every single thread without help from the users. So if you see any posts/users blatently ignoring the forum rules please either report the post/user or PM me direct.

So does anyone else on 77 have a...unique gps icon? I get the regular gps bullseye looking thing when it flashes but when the bullseye would be solid before it's just an arrow like the download/installing arrow now.

Theme chooser is not installed for some reason and when I try to manually install it it says "application not installed".

Nightly 77.

Have tried googling for a bit and found others with the problem on different phones but no solution.

Any ideas?

Philosophics I bow down to your post a few pages back. All I can say is thank god that dam app is working (not that I personally care).

Getting ready to flash 77. Hopefully helps my freezing issues some!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Nope my GPS icon is the same as it has always been, both locked on and flashing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
It's there for me. Redownload and reflash. You also want to be careful if you're using Dropbox. It tends to lose files when downloading.

Edit: It could be placebo effect, but the latest seems to have smoothed out ADW EX. With the last several nightlies it was a little choppy changing homescereens as well as the "fly in" animation with the 4D drawer.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Json_81:
Not using dropbox. The package is in the nightly zip, I have tried reflashing without success. Also tried install with adb, but get

"Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_INSTALL_LOCATION]"

Also tried downloading ThemeChooser.apk from another location with the same result.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KarlosTheJackal:
Try these steps:

1) NAND Backup (Just incase)

2) Redownload the Nightly & check the MD5

3) SuperWipe+ the device

4) Install the Rom again

5) Reboot Recovery

6) Fix Permissions

In theory that should just work, let us know what happens :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Json_81:
Thanks, but I found another solution.

adb push ThemeChooser.apk /system/app

Considering SuperWipe anyway since gtalk keeps force closing when I try to use voice. I can recieve calls though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kalipedia:
So, I jumped from like 63 to 77 and what a difference in speed! Very impressed - kudos to all who are always improving an amazing rom.

Now, I've searched the thread but found no answer so I must ask - why is Maps always running and why can't it be stopped?? Or is this a 'it's just me' issue? And no, I don't use any task killer apps...

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
So far on 77 no freezes like I have been experiencing a lot lately. Here is hoping!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Nope its not just an issue with you. I notice this too. If you turn off GPS and force close Maps, it wont run again in the background. At least that works for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
I just noticed I have the same thing going on. I've been flashing the 4G staus bar icon when installing the nightlies, but this is the first time the GPS icon changed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
This has happened to me for as long as I can remember....even back on the old nightlys.

After I use my gps and maps I always disable gps, open up a free app called taskiller and then I force kill maps.

I wish I could write a script that when u exit maps it disables all gps services and force kills maps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KarlosTheJackal:
You could always enable task killing in CM7 itself & just hold the back button. That way instead of exiting the app you could kill it then just leave a widget for gps in the status bar & toggle gps off :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SomEngangVar:
Likewise. I wonder if the theme just needs to be updated.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
I do have hold back to exit enabled....that doesn't kill the service and therefore maps opens right back up on its own.

See for yourself :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KarlosTheJackal:
I was suggesting using that instead of taskiller, but i did not realise that the built in one doesn't kill the service & just the app :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Have noticed the latest nightly is burning through battery like a crackhead down on the ave. Don't think its just in my head either. Maybe its time to calibrate! Though there are opposing theorys as to if that is a real phenomenon or not. I'm not talking about looking at the battery stats, I'm talking about the phone being able to read the battery level correctly and charging to its full potential. Any insight would be great.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kalipedia:
Yeah, I have that feature enabled too (and generally love it), but indeed doesn't kill the whole thing off. I guess the only thing to do is to manually go into settings and force close Maps as soon as I reboot the phone and again after anytime I use it. I don't see using Taskiller as saving much time/effort in that regard. Not a big deal, just kind of gets on my nerves to see things running when they don't need to be!

Thanks for all the feedback.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Json_81:
To answer my own question, superwipe did solve it.

Strange that an ordinary wipe didn't.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
From everything I have read clockword mod recovery wipe is half assed and doesn't really work. Have been using superwipe PLUS efs ever since.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NuShrike:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8247

Just ignore Google Maps. Leaving it running drains less battery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Always wondered that to. Not understanding the logic of how something running vs not running is gonna use less battery...you mean when you actually do go to use it that it will use less battery?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrbmg:
I know I'm ocd, but when I update, I always:

D/l nightly, reboot into recovery, install nightly, reboot once, fix permissions, reboot again, nandroid what I just installed, reboot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe data, superwipe+, then restore.

Works for me, never had a lag issue or gps problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrbmg:
Funny you say that. I swear no matter what, if I turn my gps off, it seems I drain more battery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NuShrike:
There's some weird bug (related to GPS apps) where if you kill the GPS app outright such as through ATK (through Manage Apps it seems to be okay), something goes missing and starts eating CPU/battery looking for the missing app. Seems to be a missing listener or such.

Since many of these apps are now broken apart in two pieces (service and app), there isn't a clean interface to kill both at the same time leading to some race condition. If you'd followed the thread, killing Google Maps wrong leads to battery drain. For most people, don't mess with it.

I went from CM7.0.3 to Nightly #77 yesterday, but now my WiFi isn't working anymore and says "Error".

hey all, trying to flash my first nightly here, build 77, and am having weird issues with the market. the first 2 times i flashed, i wiped data, cache and dalvik, and i kept getting market force closes, couldn't use the market at all. so now i just tried a superwipe and flashed #77 again, and this time, no market at all!! i tried downloading 2 market apks thru the browser and the the second one installed but doesn't open, just goes back to the home screen when i tap on it. i find this all very odd because i'm not seeing anyone else with market problems on this build. any advice on how to get this up and running?

The bug in question, txt's sent to random contacts, has apparently been around for some time. I've seen it happen on a stock g2 a friend has multiple times, but in two years of using either JF or CM's rom's I've never seen it myself.

There was a lot of coverage on tech sites about this, I thought gizmodo was the first to make a stink about it, and having never seen it myself i downplayed it. As did a number of other sites suggesting user error, at the time my friend's g2 factory reset on its own and or deleted all its text messages so I wasn't too concerned. But the replacement g2 continues to randomly address texts and a high volume user like my friend easily continues conversation with few misplaced texts.

I don't stay on top of the issue tracker much but I never reproduced this problem with CM 4 on the g1, or CM 6 on the g1/slide/g2. I am starting to wonder if the bug mainly affects stock roms.
