same here :) ive stayed on 185 just so every morning i get the notification theres an update haha crazy right? lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gee one:
OK, since I had nothing else to flash... I took the stock GB update and rooted it manually. I got it to work, but I had some weird flash loops where it seemed like the updater script would run over and over a few times. If I rebooted at a bad time, I would get bootloops or force closes... If I rebooted at the right time (right after the script finished running), it seemed to work OK.

The stock GB ROM is OK- it kinda looks like the froyo version with a black status bar and tons of bloatware! After I figure out what is up with my updater-script, I'll deodex and debloat the ROM. I know that this is already available for download, but I thought I would do it myself for grins and giggles.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
Its getting annoying for me. No use in updating to 186 either. Exactly the same as 185
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sonnysekhon:
Hey guys,

Which is the last stable nightly?

I need to root a Desire Z with CM7 and send it back to my sister who won't be updating it at all, therefore, stability is most important.

Also, which kernel is best for battery life?

Sorry for the queries, but this isn't my phone and you can't really find answers to these kind of questions by using the search feature.

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
Well tbh the latest 186 is very stable and the stock rom with it is just fine ;)

You can lead a fool to wisdom but you can't make him think! XDA, mobile wisdom, not a n00b feeding ground!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
AAAaaaaw! Still no new nighty to flash yet! With all those NEW commits I feel like this dog:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGeKSiCQkPw&feature=youtube_gdata_player

LOL!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
The most recent (186) is just fine. I'd stick with the stock CM7 kernel.

You could always load a stock pre-rooted ROM too if you're worried about anything happening she wouldn't be able to deal with.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
I recommend this kernel for battery life and the most stability other than the stock cm kernel. It is the stock cm kernel with a little more undervolt tweaking and two added frequencies including the much missed 1017 frequency. Highly recommended.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spovat:
Not to go off topic but until the nightlies start rolling out again I thought I would stress how much this rom rocks. Its by far the best thing out there as far as speed, customization, and being intuitive. I recently flashed miui and sense 3 roms and even though they had their own appeal, the usabilty just felt inferior. As far as speed, nothing compares. I came right back to this rom and couldn't be happier. Thanks again to the cm team for what they do =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] autom8r:
I'm running miui.us and its ok as you say but it is lacking a lot of CMs appeal, ugh I need to flash a cm7 nighlty soon!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
I guess then that this .zip file will need to be flashed after every nightly update since the CM stock kernel gets reflashed with every update? And we flash this through CWM?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Correct gotta flash it after every nightly update. I just reboot into recovery and flash.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sonnysekhon:
Thanks guys :).

I installed Nightly 186 with the UV kernel suggested by G1ForFun. Seems pretty stable. Should be hassle free for my sister.

Only caveat was that the new market kept FCing, so I flashed older gapps and disabled vendor.update through adb.

Is there a better way to do this? Has anyone gotten the new market to work?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
New market should work just fine. Did u flash the June gapps after flashing the rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rraxda:
G1, which kernel is that?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
The one by tsubus in his ILWT cm7 thread.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
In order to avoid new market's FC's, simply set system language to English (US). It will fix it. It's an old known bug, not sure why but it seems that the new Market app changes the system language on some devices.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Oh yea forgot about that little fix. Hopefully that helps whoever was asking.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
its not the market that does it, its the cm default language sets to english HD.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
is tsubus's kernel better than tiamat's one? if so, why?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
I dont know if you could say its better but its what he was looking for which was stability and battery life. My post above explains why.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
I see in the post that it includes the 1017 frequency which (im assuming) is left out of the stock CM kernal.

Like the difference of 2 breakfast bowls of oatmeal. 1 has nuts, and cream. While the other has nuts, cream, and blueberries! Wouldn't you take the 1 bowl with the blueberries? That's assuming you like oatmeal with blueberries. you get my point.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
wouldnt tiamat be just as stable as tsubus? also, wouldn't tiamat give the same or better battery life, since it has the smartass governor and its undervolted? if im coming off like im trying to start an argument, im not. i really am just trying to find a kernel that offers the best battery life. tiamat seemed stable when i was using it thats why.

also, what do you mean by "stable"? like no buggy wifi, camera, etc.?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
No I would say the stock cm kernel is the most stable. Tiamat is far from the stock cm kernel, it has way more modifications. Smartass is also anything but stable...this is not to say people don't have good results with it but its an experimental governor. Stable means that it works the way it is supposed to.... The phone as whole.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kyleds:
Why is there no option to assign actions for the three keys on the physical keyboard?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
There is: Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Input... scroll to bottom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kyleds:
Oh!,

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
OMG! Im dying here! All those commits, but no update YET!

GeeezUs!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
From @ChrisSoyars #CyanogenMod nightly builds will be back tonight. Finally got around to making some buildbot changes to fix korg being down.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Woooo :D Great news.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
Also, cm: Bump versions to 7.1-RC2 :) not that this matters at all to us nightly users, it is still a milestone to be excited about
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
New nightlies are showing up for several devices already so it does look like a go for later tonight.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
We are the korg. We are one. We are functioning now. Time to have some fun ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
Finally :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ohcanada:
omg i just can't wait.....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
I'm getting a really annoying glitch with the new market. Half of my market downloads will permanently hang... And as soon as I reboot the phone the download completes successfully
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
Give this a try. Go to your applications/manage applications/all and find "download manager". First select Force stop, then clear data.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
You could try using Titanium Backup and clearing Market cache and data and rebooting.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SomEngangVar:
Holy crap. 204. Did the buildbot keep count?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nemiroG1:
Nightly 204 is UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
Huh. Some still hang on "Starting download". Thanks anyway....

Also can't wait to install #204
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] choppa26:
Nightly

Ya Its back up anyone flash yet?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
I'm running it right now, seems to be working. I've only used it for 5 minutes, but so far so good :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Apparently...

Lol...

I'll give it a whirl and report anything weird to y'all. Not like everyone else and their mother won't be, but still ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xandermpls:
Wow seriously I almost downloaded another rom LOL.

http://zanderthezillionaire.biz
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
If any of you flash the latest nightly with the 5.0.2.0 recovery, could you please report back? The first few versions of v5 trashed my device and I've been hesitant to try any new versions until its confirmed working on our device/ROM setup.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Bleh... I still wont touch that recovery with a 10 foot pole:p

too many mixed results with it still...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
There is still something wrong with it. After working fine for a couple of days it locked up on me again...froze at the htc splash screen. I'm back on the latest v 3 and no problems with that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spovat:
Been working great for me for a week. Just flashed 204 and so far its flawless =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
for me, sometimes it works, then sometimes it doesnt. like one of the members above, i get stuck at the white htc splash screen. i applied the recovery couple times to make sure it doesnt happen again. idk if that would work, but its worth a shot. it worked couple times after doing that
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SomEngangVar:
5.0.2.0 froze on me the other day updating my kernel. Only time though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kaijura:
Flashed 204 with CWM 5.0.2.0, also flashed ILWT/tsubus' kernel 1.0 without issues.

I did backup 5.0.2.0 on nightly 186 first, wiped cache only and flashed 204 and it did a weird freeze with a blank screen after loading. Rebooted and it loaded all data ok, might have just been a fluke, I had the data cable connected onto the pc.

Everything a-ok so far, do not see anything new yet. I don't know what's the changes on 204, the tracker's at 201.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nakeman:
can you reproduce the bugs as last time i said in this rom? Thanks:p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] burtcom:
Dammit, just tried with recovery 5.0.2.0 and I'm frozen.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LadFromWales85:
I was unaware of the problem with latest recovery. Couldn't get into recovery earlier to flash the new nightly, took 3 attempts. Once in, the update applied and booted fine. Though I wiped cache and dalvik also.

Still, think I may revert my recovery!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] burtcom:
I just reverted recovery to 3, and am flashing fine.

Everyone, please get a message to Koush about this: Something is preventing rebooting to Recovery 5 reliably.

koush at clockworkmod dot com
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:
I have this recovery boot problem as well. Sometimes my phone would get stuck in the splash screen. I have to pull out the battery and reboot. Something is not right with recovery5.0.20
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Radioactive Death:
If you have problems getting stuck at the splash screen try rebooting into recovery via adb

adb reboot recovery

When my phone sticks at the splash screen, rebooting this way works.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Hey guys this is not the Clockwork Recovery thread. If you have issues with that, then post them in the correct thread.

On 204 with tsubus's kernel. So far so good.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] djfoo000:
My download keeps getting interrupted. Anyone facing the same issue?

EDIT: The last download finally got thru after 6 times. Sry for the false alarm.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
Or terminal emulator if you aren't near a computer
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xandermpls:
Cell standby 48%

System idle 49%

Display 2%

1-2% battery drain with screen on still even with latest nightly, bah.

What other rom would you reccomend for me and my gf? I feel so bad after an hour of her texting friends she's at 42% from a full battery.

I was in NY last week and was in a pickle because my phone died.. :/

http://zanderthezillionaire.biz
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] autom8r:
I've been seeing this too, it started around nightly 180 or so. I just switched radios to .30 a TMOUS leak, will see if that helps at all, not sure why the rom would be draining so much in idle!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xandermpls:
Damn. Yeah ill be switching ROMs today very sad, as I have tried others and don't like them as much but I am happy I have choices I guess.

Speed and functionality are key with battery life being 2nd to place calls in importance.

http://zanderthezillionaire.biz
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kaijura:
I think you have something running. I ran 186 to see how long I can go with the battery, made it up to the 24 hour mark with ~20-30 texts a day and minimal browsing. This is with extreme battery savings, turned off 3G, data, GPS, wifi, brightness to 0.

With GPS and Wifi left on, I've gotten to 16hours + no problem.

Also on radio 4.30.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] qpop:
I have been using Pershoots kernel for ages, and last week after reflashing CM186 WITHOUT the pershoot kernel the battery life was poor, WITH pershoots kernel, it's back to expected levels.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wrapper:
In the latest version a 'Mute camera shutter' option has been added to disable the sound, however it doesn't disable the focus sound. Is there any way to properly disable the sound, otherwise this option seems pointless?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
Yep, same symptoms for me. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] smartin4166:
I have also had CRAZY battery drain for a couple of weeks. I have read of a few others also experiencing this. It seemed like it started around build 183 or so but none of the builds since then have corrected it and not enough folks seem to be having the same problem, only a few. I read a couple of posts in another section here and one said that t-mobile admitted to having a network issue causing bad battery drain but after they claimed to have fixed it, I am still having the drain. I have tried different radios as well as Pershoots kernel and even wiped battery stats and dalvik cache. I've given it a few days to try and stabelize itself but nothing is changing it. Nothing unusall is running in the background eating it up, at least nothing different than normal. I don't know what it is but I have felt that it is rom related. I just cant tell for sure.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xandermpls:
Yes its really sad, I don't want to use miui :( how is faux123 rom? I want to continue to use gingerbread/aosp rom.

Wish this would fix. I literally froze every app practically and I still have crazy drain, wokeup about 70minutes ago, and been using my phone on and off starting at 89% I'm now at 51 with only using xda and that's it. No downloading, music, oclocking..

1% - 2% drain per min with screen on... crazy sad battery life.

I am running 204 stock kernel and I have umaro/pershoots kernel deciding which to install with the latest nightly, I may just leave it for now, damn I'm typing and it just drained 3% sigh.

http://zanderthezillionaire.biz
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] djfoo000:
on nightly #204 now OC-ed to 1.5GHz stock kernel. I'm gettting over 40fps in the DNA double helix rendering portion in quadrant standard, where it normally maxes out at 24fps. isn't this awesome?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xandermpls:
Yes =) CM7 is amazing :)

If only my battery would be a good girl!

http://zanderthezillionaire.biz
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
I also noticed this. Before this option was available I manually deleted the shutter sound (camera_click.ogg) but AFAIK there is no sound file to delete to stop the shutter sound. However I noticed that the focus sound is muted when the phone is set to silent. Specifically, the volume of the focus sound depends on the System volume stream. So, I actually use a program like AutomateIt to set the phone to Silent when the Camera app is activated, and back to Normal when the app is deactivated.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] djfoo000:
Though it's the first time ShootMe is refusing to work. keeps saying it can't get root permission while the normal "shootme was granted superuser permissions" appeared. A thread on droidforums mention it's to do with the su? am I the only one?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Critical Jeff:
You shouldnt need Shootme. If you hold down the power button there is an option to take a screenshot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] djfoo000:
i don't appreciate the 2 sec delay of that power menu screenshot function. with ShootMe it can be voice activated, which I actually prefer. takes a screenshot that the moment I want.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] smartin4166:
Now that I have flashed 204, I am going to give it a couple of days and see if it gets stable. I will keep you posted on my results.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Sorry about that, I started it; was just trying to sort out if its a CM7+CWM5 issue or a CWM5 issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
The delay is there to give time for the power menu to go away so you're not getting a screenshot of the power menu.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Probably just a CWM5 issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xandermpls:
Thank you bro I appreciate it, I'm thinking I might stick it out just keep letting it drain out and recharge a few times,

http://zanderthezillionaire.biz
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
There is a little app in the market called Watchdog, which is not a task manager per-say, but a task hog (battery drain) notifier. It's one of my daily-driver apps that I use ALL THE TIME. If a certain app or system process goes over a threshold, it will let you know. You can then either freeze or uninstall the offending app.

I don't know if it's a free or paid app. I paid for mine months ago (which I feel is well worth it).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
Yes, ShootMe is not working in 204... you're not the only one - I think it's affecting everyone, though most users find the power button method to suffice. I appreciated the screencast option in ShootMe... though not a huge loss. I use a program with the SDK that does the same thing. It also does appear to be a Superuser issue, but perhaps someone can mention it to the CM guys.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kaijura:
Posting on nine hours with battery on 204, 76%. Sent and received total of 13 texts, auto brightness, hsdpa/mobile data on, used gps for 30min, maybe 20-30min of browsing. Left sync on.

Seems normal, not sure how you guys are seeing crazy drain. On ILWT kernel and radio 4.30, on at&t too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Flashing with CWM5.0.2.0 works perfectly fine.. second time flashing a rom with it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tronmech:
A couple of oddities in Nightly 204:

1) the market insists that some apps are not installed when they are. The apps came down in the "storm" of apps from the market after my google account signed in.

2) the storm of apps failed to fully install. Better, I had to reboot to be able to d/l and install anything at all. (74 apps on the list, as I recall)

3) GPS fixes in sensorly and opensignalmaps don't seem to ever happen, though Google maps seems tov work fine. I recall this being a general "AOSP ROM on G2" issue though.

All I did was:

1) boot into recovery

2) flash the g2 "superwipe+"

3) flash nightly 204

4) flash gapps

5) reboot the phone.

6) do the setup, including the whole sign in to google part.

7) endure the download storm.

I'm guessing that I missed something...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
If you were already on CM7 before, there is no need for a full wipe. It is enough to wipe cache and Dalvik cache and then flash the new nightly. If you do a full wipe, you will install everything from scratch. Once you sign in with your Google account, if you had it set to take a backup, it will try to restore all the apps that you had installed before. I would not recommend this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spovat:
one thing I'm noticing is that my lock/unlock sound is veryy low now. either I messed with a setting by accident or it's from the nightly. any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] djfoo000:
I don't wish to be impotent though. :P

I prefer ShootMe's voice activated mode coz I can capture screens that disappear very fast, like a certain portion during a Quadrant test.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ohcanada:
for me i think the new nightly has better battery life.

comparing 186 and 204 with pershoot's kernel.

Everything is the same, same amount of apps, same sync schedule, same signal status etc.

If i type "dumpsys cpuinfo" in terminal, 186 will have ~4/4/4 cpu usage, but 204 will have ~3/2/2，i guess higher cpu usage may lead to less battery life?

but I'm a noob if i'm wrong please point out i will be very happy to learn new stuff
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajk1311:
How does wifi calling sound on 204? I'm on 185 and the call quality is pretty poor. Haven't had a chance to update, otherwise I'd just test it myself..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Lol! Give it a wipe batterystats and wait a week on the same rom. That's a good time to judge on battery time. But if cpu is consuming less, that's always a good sign! But yeah, more cpu usage (higher precentage or overclocking) will tend to drain the battery more quickly.

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------

If your having trouble with downloads failing on market, wipe market cache and sign out and back into gtalk. I know the gtalk thing sounds crazy but it happened to many people including myself...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] .A.J.:
I performed the same exact steps specifically because I was having this problem on the last nightly & i'm still having the same problem. In my case Google maps does not show in my apps. If I search for it, it shows as installed. This is an improvement. On the last nightly it showed as not compatible with my device even though it was installed.

Didn't work for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
I can't abandon ShootMe because the power button menu closes certain menus and things I want to take screenshots of, e.g., pulled down notification bar and anything that required to be pressed on the screen.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
I just found a new one that works well. It has a timed delay (you can change the time) and shake to shoot. Its called screenshot by kastor soft. Works pretty good but I know... nothing beats shootme.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
Running 204 now from a clean superwipe (came back from a temporary fray into MIUI). Running clean and speedy. Battery life seems okay so far.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
I have a warning for you. Do NOT open up the camera app while screenshot is running. It just starts continually screenshooting everything
