I was getting horrid battery life as well, until I did this:

-Flashed newest radio

-Flashed superwipe

-Reset battery stats

-Flashed cm 100

-Flashed gapps

This results for me in 34% battery left after 24 hours, with 3 hours of spotify listening (2 hours partial wake).

So yes, you should do a full wipe and remove battery stats once in a while. After wiping battery starts you should do at least 1 full cycle to help the calibration. (charge till full while off and then let it die)

Hi guys, a quick question - I'm running 7.0.3 stable, which procedures are needed to be performed before flashing a nightly? Cache/dalvik cache wipes etc? Or nothing?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] IharpI:
Think you wont get a clear answer to this question.

I just flashed the nightly without doing anything else and it worked perfectly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
Yeah, I suppose it's like "try, if you get errors, then wipe". The point of the question was just that do the stable and nightly ROMs have the same "frame", is it necessary to build new caches etc if I just flash from a Cyano to another. But yeah, I suppose it's always wise to wipe, just to be on the safer side.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
Normally all that is recommended is wipe cache and dalvik, however this is a different case:

One of the nightlies (I think it was #78?) included a kernel update from 2.6.32 (the one in 7.0.3) to 2.6.35 and because of this a full wipe is recommended.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
Yeah, I just flashed the latest nightly without wipe. I'll check how it runs and if I get any shutdowns etc, I'll do wipe and reflash... I have all the things backed up with Titanium.

EDIT: Is there any way to remove the lockscreen from these cyangenmods, or at least disable it? I have paid for widgetlocker lockscreen, and the full version of it gives much more room for customization... I hate when there are two lockscreens on at the same time..

EDIT2: Ah... the tablet settings.. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adrien1977:
Looking at the spare parts battery data, i reallized that Google Voice app was doing a lot of wake up. (the latest version at least)

Some other people had the same issue until they reverted to version 0.3.4.

I just removed it and i will give it a try today and report back for those who are interested.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
Ok, there's a bug with disabling the lockscreen. if i disable it from the tablet settings, and install wodgetlocker from the market, pin-code won't be asked after reboot and the phone is unusable because of that... am I missing something? Cache and dalvik cache are wiped, no old settings are restored.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yozgatg:
finally, this was driving me crazy with the new kernel:

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,6004
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nemiroG1:
What was it doing to you?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yozgatg:
well, the following happened when the USB cable was plugged in:

My touchscreen was either going mad or not registering touch at all, and the soft buttons underneath stopped responding until I switched the screen off and back on (but kept happening even after I did this, once I switch the screen back on everything works like it should for about a minute, after which it starts going crazy). This started happening after the move to the 2.6.35 kernel. Hopefully this commit fixes the problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
Hmmh, the bug with the pin code when lockscreen is disabled is one, and the another bug is that the charging light turns green when the battery status is only 93%. It charges up to 100% though, but the light isn't working correctly. I did a battery stat wipe yesterday and it didn't help at all. Anybody having these issues?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wilnotdie:
Isn't that how the light always worked? From 90ish to 100 its green.

Also, isn't there an option, within widgetlocker settings, to supress lockscreen? Been a while since I used it. I only used it for the flashlight widget, but don't use anymore since cm came out with gestures :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
Hmm, at least I haven't noticed that it has been green always from 90s to 100, I'm quite confident that in stock Sense-rom it was green only when charge was at 100%. I can be wrong... Yeah, I have to test the widgetlocker more to get it working.

EDIT: It seems to be the Theme chooser, which is causing the problems... It can't be uninstalled, damn. Well, I guess I have to stick around with the cyanogenmod's lockscreen for now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wilnotdie:
What options do you use WidgetLocker for? Not to take away from widgetlocker, but I now use gestures to do the things I did with it.

Im sure its only an apk or something, for Theme Chooser. Should be able to find it with titanium or root explorer, and nuke it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
Well, I personally just like "my" lockscreen with widgetlocker, it integrates to my theme quite well :) Cyangenmod's lockscreen offers only a few customable things, it would be great to have a full widgetlocker integrated. Yeah, I try to take theme chooser off from the ROM as soon as I have time for it. Interesting to see how it goes.

EDIT: Yeah, uninstalled the theme chooser and now widgetlocker is working like a charm... however, the phone doesn't ask for pin after reboot, so I can't log into the network. After enabling the lockscreen from the tablet settings, phone asks for pin right away. This should be fixed. It works quite nicely now, but there's two lockers on at the same time, so it's not something I'd like to have :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] prp2:
Anyone else having issues restoring user app data with Titanium Backup Pro 3.8.5.1? All the CM7-based ROMs I've tried today (this one, xboarder56's mix and now MIUI 1.6.10) fail to restore any data, just the apps themselves. Every time I try restoring any app data, it just tells me "Data restore failed for...".

Prior to trying these, I was running rmk's Virtuous G-Lite, based off the official GB release.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
since cm7 is rolling back to that kernel, do i need to do a full wipe and flash?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
Read the commit again. They're just reverting the synaptics driver, not the whole kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
I was gonna say, that commit the guy linked to isn't rolling back the entire kernel...only the synaptics used by the desire hd. As it says clearly in the patch set comments.

Lol no way they would roll back the entire kernel....that would be counter productive.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fermunky:
Not a huge concern by any means, but the strobe function of torch doesn't work right for me anymore. If I put the slider to the slowest setting, it will flash, but any higher on the slider it just stays on...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] popokrew:
Yep, kinda disappointed I can't cause seisures(sp) right now...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
104 is buttery smooth :cool:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tbalden:
On pershoots kernel + build 100, works ok.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NuShrike:
You can also flash to #77 to get to the last .32 kernel, then flash to #78 to get the .35 kernel, and then flash forward to the latest build. I didn't have to wipe for this, and most didn't either.

It should be green light at 90% because that's the max you can charge the battery before it goes into slow-charge due to the capacitance of the battery. Any more is really slow, and mostly heats up the battery. Unless you need the extra, 90% is good enough.

Ref 'Sony Battery Care', or Prius battery maintenance software, which keeps battery between 40% and 80% to extend battery life -- because you never deep-cycle the battery that way.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
yeah, that makes sense, the charging-thing I mean. Just flashed the latest nightly, seems to be working smoothly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] djfoo000:
Can anyone confirm if USB OTG functionality is included in the nightlies? I saw a commit few weeks back about USB host feature.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BookCase:
I'm not sure about that but, I know USB Mass Storage isn't working on my phone and hasn't worked for some time now. I'd love to have that working again. Actually, it might be my computer cause it did work once, on another computer with Windows XP.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
They ever gonna take care of this oi file manager problem? Not interested in workarounds cause everytime I flash a new nightly I'm gonna have to do it again. Rom manager gets updated within the rom within 24 hours of an update ALWAYS. Why do they not give a rats ass about there included file manager? Been two weeks that seems like plenty of time for them to have gotten on the ball about this...they obviously have to know about this by now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jimmah555:

Quadrant doesn't mean much. I scored this like 2 builds ago on my G2, doesn't mean its faster than a G2x in daily use. Should of ran Smartbench 2011, its a bit more accurate imo and you would have seen the difference.

Could you or someone tell me how I could remove the permissions for that? I'm on nightly 104 and I've been out of the whole Scene for a while; I was on nightly 74 just a few minutes ago and I updated to see if the latest nightly would fix my flash video problems.

EDIT: It seems that I found out how to change permission settings, but it seems that can only change permissions for applications that I have downloaded. Is there a way to change permissions for apps that come with the phone?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Go back to 10.2 for it to work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KoolKidsKlub:
Alright, do you know where I could find an APK for it? Can I just google for a random APK, or does it have to be device specific?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rraxda:
Please share, how did you change permissions?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] david279:
You can easily change the permissions with root explorer. That's what I did.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Just search for the apk in this thread.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] djfoo000:
That's not what I meant. USB OTG/ host is the functionality to connect a thumb drive (or any USB peripheral, with the required assistance it needs, eg. power) directly to the phone thru the use of a USB OTG cable (micro male at one end, female USB A at the other end). Galaxy S 2 has that function natively.

Set it to performance and overclocked to 1.5GHz and see if you get a higher score.

Hey guys, I'm running Nightly #101 & just noticed that my GPS doesn't work. Just went to use my SatNav & it just hangs saying searching for GPS signal :(

Anyone else having this problem, or had this problem & found a fix for it? The only thing I can think that has changed drastically on my phone is I flashed a new Radio a while ago but I am 100% sure I used the GPS while I've this radio flashed so I'm sure that has nothing to do with it.

I might try later flashing back to my stock nand backup & see if it works on there (does nandroid backups, backup the Radio?)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
Try to download GPS status from Market and reset the A-GPS. If it starts to work, ok, If not, then try to flash a newer one. I had problems with 7.0.3 Stable with GPS, with the latest Nightly it's working nicely.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] onelikeseabass:
Don't use 10.2. There are several security flaws addressed by 10.3 and mine is an easy fix.

Download File Expert or any other free permissions editing/root capable file manager. Use it to change the file system permissions for the file I indicated. If you can root and flash custom roms, you certainly can learn how to modify file permissions. Google search is your friend ;).

Performance is attrocious with 720p videos on youtube with your fix using 10.3 compared to using 10.2... what security flaws do we have to worry about? I thought android sandboxed all the apps with their own uid and gid... you can exploit the flash plugin all you want... you would still only get access to whatever the plugin app had access too.

I did a chmod -rw on the config file from the command line.

My 2 cents.

My home button stoped workign within minutes of flashing 105. Tried to reflash and same thing happened within minutes.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] damien667:
So instead of pointing me to facts about it being less secure... you mock me and tease me... good job being an adult.

I know (as does everyone else) that android sandboxes apps to their own userid's and groupid's through the linux filesystem... and hence why your mod works at all when you change said permissions... so... if you can't point to a fact about 10.3 being more secure... all I have to say is that it performs way worse than 10.2, and that I don't see how it could EVER be insecure unless you give the app permissions to own you. I would rather you prove me wrong than being mocked... care to try again?

Thanks for your hard work.

If you read the app description you'll see "security enhancements" in the "recently changed" section; if you read the release notes (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/902/cpsid_90281.html) you'll find the exact "security enhancements"

I tried the efs super wipe. Then reflashed and the problem still happened. So I reverted back to a backup I had weeks ago I think it was nightly 40? Anyway the home worked there. I did the factory reset through recovery then efs super wipe. Then reflashed 105 and flashed gapps over that, fixed permissions and booted. The home works. I didn't bother restoring all my apps like I did before, instead I restored the apps I used most and my games data.

I think restoring some data and settings screwed the home up. Either way I thank you for your suggestion.

Is there a way to unset a/the shortcut keys?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
I know you can set them in Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Input, but it looks like there is no way to clear the function once a button is set... You can only set it to something else. Aside from wiping data and doing a fresh install of C, I'm sure there is a way to manually clear CMParts data or something of the sort to reset your settings.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tbalden:
Thanks!

As someone mentioned a terminal emu opened and # su and # chmod -rw /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data

helped.

This saved some vacation time's youtube watching, as youtube app doesn't play some videos while flash plugin does... :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] schaggo:
While I try to avoid the former pursuing the latter might be an option. I figured CMParts is just a tool to set system settings but thinking about it, since Android is fully sandboxed, the system itself is "untouchable" so it must be CMParts doing the setting *and* controlling.

I'll see what I can find out...
