That link is for the stable rom which is older. Nightlies appear more frequently and are more experimental. (Somebody correct me if I'm not entirely correct.)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
Almost got it correct, except that link is to an RC release which is a beta.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] frankth3frizz:
ok so which one would be the best one to install if im coming from pyromod.?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
User preference tbh. If you want to stick with a rom for a while, use the stable version. If you prefer to flash a new rom everyday, go for the Nightlies

Personally, I like having something new and would get bored sticking with the same rom, hence why I use the nightlies and a few other roms.....as I have ORD ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SomEngangVar:
I've noticed little things since the nightly's came back. When you changed the animation speed of the windows and transitions in spare parts the on/off animations would turn themselves off on older builds. They stay on when you change the speed now.

Usually I'd say go Stable or RC if you want a (nearly) guaranteed stable daily ROM.

If you want to be on the bleeding edge of features, with potentially wonky or messed up commits, go with nightlies.

READ THE OP AND STICKIES (and Google search) PEOPLE. Do some real research and reading without being spoon-fed the same answer over and over and over in this thread. That's how we all learned, including myself.

YOU NEED TO FLASH THE NEW RECOVERY IN THE OP WITH THE ORANGE LETTERING TO USE ANY GINGERBREAD ROM. Its SO not a hard concept to get. If not you have no business flashing experimental Gingerbread ROMs to being with.

Issue #1

Been having some issues sending MMS picture on the vanilla Messages. This is happening on build 12, though I saw it on earlier releases (i.e. b8).

Here is a logcat:

U are next person who don't like 12

12 is seriously bed build
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pawel_podgorski:
Yes. It is possible but I recommend use recovery mode and install zip

If U really wont to use rom manager (on You own responsibility)

download clockworkmod 3.x.x.x

copy on sd card to clockworkmod folder

change name Your 2.x.x.x to anything so U have a backup

rename new one(3.x.x.x) for 2.x.x.x so name is same like file what was in folder

on Rom Manager flash same again

complicated risky and pointless

do in regular way in recovery easy and safe

Never said I didn't like build 12. I like each one even better. :) the CM team is doing an amazing job!

Another quick question, sorry if it annoys the uber hardcore users, but since Im learning, I have to overcome the noob side in me.

I've flashed CWM3, the ORANGE lettering one, through Terminal emulator, easy,

So, do I have to Flash gingerbread through ROM Manager? Or it has to be strictly with the new shiny CWM recovery mode?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
ROM Manager doesn't actually flash anything. It just reboots into CWM and flashes from there.

I just go into CWM myself and do it manually. More control that way.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] elracing21:
Flashing thru rom manager sucks. If I were you id do it thru recovery. Download the rom thru rom manager when it asks you for gapps or wiping just hit cancel, turn the phone off and boot to recovery install zip from sd card go to the clockworkmod folder then the teamdouche folder and keep going till you get cm nightly build12 or whatever build your flashing. Its easier and you can do this with any rom so you won't lose gapps or any apps.

Whether this is 208 being snappier or a confused "market app installer" phase hosing the phone, I don't know...

yup, thats the issue. i never had it before but now navigation is pretty much useless, i drop signal 5 seconds in. i am on latest bell radio, matched rils. the thread in general id say is on the right path..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
I just tested my GPS navigation using Google Nav, and it works just fine! Matter of fact it work WAY BATTER than it did before. Narrowing it down to just 2 meters, and it stayed locked!

1) I never messed with any RIL matching.

2) Since im with T-Mobile I made sure I stayed away with any radio that matched Vision. I ONLY use radios designed for the G2 (there's really only like 3 of them)

3) When I updated to the radio ending in .30, I did a EFS wipe.

*- You'll need to completely uninstall Google maps.

*- Go into recovery and clear cash & delvik.

*- Reflash the "PROPER" radio for your phone and carrier network through bootloader.

*- Do a EFS wipe after flash.

*- Reboot your phone.

*- Reinstall Google Maps.

Read my thread in the General section of the forum. Your partitions may now be formatted in the Ext 3 format if you've used the SuperwipeG2 that many of us have been using to do a full wipe. Your partitions need to be in the Ext 4 format for best performance of CM7.

I'll flip the phone open to unlock it, then try to goto messaging but will not actually open the messaging app till i bring the top peice up by a little. Any ideas? I've tried clearing cache, dalvik and fixing permissions.

Also if I:

open the screen

pull it up a bit

touch the screen

bring it down to its rested open position

remove my finger from the screen

only then will it respond to touch when its in the open/portrait layout.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Critical Jeff:
can this recovery restore from a backup made in Clockwork recovery?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
Yes, but after restoring it would be a good idea to check the partition formats. You might be back to Ext 3 again on some of your partitions.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KarlosTheJackal:
This might explain some of the lag I have been receiving recently when my battery percentage goes below 30!

How do I check what format my partitions are in?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
Change to the 4EXT Recovery and when you boot into recovery your partitions status is listed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
You dont have to replace your recovery to check. Just go into Terminal Emulator and type:

mount

Then it will list. About 1/2 way down you'll see your partitions and which are in which format.

----

On another side note, I've been getting really weird battery drain. I'm assuming its because I calibrated my battery but I just redid the calibration and its still acting funny. Can't get the battery to go more than 12-13 hours when I used to easily push 15+ with normal use.

As an example, just now I opened up "hanging with friends" and played a few rounds in about 10 minutes. That took up over 10% of my battery. Seems excessive. Battery is draining for no apparent reason during normal tasks. Hope it improves over time after I calibrated last night.

Also, the battery used to sit at 100% for upwards of 3 hours with basic use, and drain slowly after. It now holds 100% for maybe 1 hour and drains more quickly after. Really hope the calibration didn't mess anything up. Does it usually take a few cycles after calibration to get back to normal?

easiest is use 4ext recovery, cwm is buggy as of late. and term emulator reported them all as ext4 when in fact they werent.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
So one guy found something weird after checking, flashing a recovery, and then checking again? Pretty sure checking thru terminal will properly report it... Not trying to be rude, but one person doing something then reporting doesn't mean that it should be the golden rule. I'm just going based on what my device is telling me. I trust the device to report it properly when checking in terminal.

CWM is quite buggy in these 5.x.x.x versions. Been using 3.0.2.4 this whole time and never has any issues though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KarlosTheJackal:

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------

you don't need to do a full wipe. 4EXT Recovery will convert them to Ext 4 and save your current setup.

Reboot into recovery, select the menu option EXT3-4EXT-EXT4

then select the top option option convert change a backup EXT4

then choose the partitions you want to convert...you'll have to do one at a time and leave the sdcard FAT32. Then reboot and you'll be on your current CM7 again. Now when you flash a new nightly it will stay Ext 4. Don't use the old SuperwipeG2 anymore. Use the modified one by tsubus.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
You must have a Kernel OC app installed on your phone. It might be even a widget app that is monitoring your OC'ing and probably is scaling down your kernel as the battery gets low. I remember you said that you don't have setcpu but it might be another app that's installed and you don't use but is still monitoring your battery. That's the only thing I can imagine is giving you lag as your battery gets low. I don't use one and my phone runs fast right down to low low battery. Is it just as fast at 5% now as it was at higher battery?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
Are you using a G2 from T-Mobile or a true HTC Desire or Vision? Even though in theory they are the same in hardware, this might explain why your GPS isn't staying locked. If it is true on what you are telling me that you did exactly what I outlined, and you are still having GPS issues, then it must be hardware related. You'll have to experiment with the different radios, because the T-Mobile ones are not working for you.

From what your experiencing, you have a slightly different phone then the standard T-Mobile G2 which uses a different radio than what I use.
