Just tried. I was hopeful because I've never formatted /system before, but again, after a full wipe (data, cache, dalvik) and formatting system, same issue. Wifi tries to start but then I get kicked back to the CM splash screen and am stuck right back in a boot loop.

For now I'm just going to try and live without wifi. I have crappy coverage at my house, so I all I get is edge when I'm lucking enough to even have signal. But I'd rather have a usable phone in the time being.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
For some reason wifi never works on first boot. Did you try again after rebooting?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BobbyHill:
Mine didn't even vibrate going into vibrate mode. Dead, dead dead.

Had to call up T-Mobile for a replacement. (Just got done un-rooting, old one is all ready to be sent back once the new one gets here tomorrow)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NicksVideo:
That's the thing though, once I turn on wifi and it kicks me back to the splash screen I'm stuck in the bootloop so I can't try turning it on again. I don't even have enough time once the phone boots to turn wifi off.

If you mean I should try booting the phone up, not turning on wifi the first time, then rebooting and turning wifi on after the second boot, then I'll definitely try that tomorrow. Have to wake up at 4am, so it's time for me to stop tinkering tonight.

Would you suggest running a fix permissions script or doing anything special while the phone is running on the first boot before I reboot and turn on wifi?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
After a complete wipe/format and new flash of CM7 I boot up for the first time I don't do anything...I just reboot. After it boots for the second time I enable wifi and then put in my router password. Then I immediately reboot into recovery and flash gapps so that when I boot the next time and set up my google account the market apps download over wifi. This always works for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dhilberg:
The Screen On and Awake bars should look almost identical. Based on what the graph is showing, your device is spending a lot of time awake even with the screen off...it shouldn't be, which means there's an app (or apps) preventing it from sleeping. That will kill your battery pretty fast. Open up the Spare Parts app > tap Battery History > tap the Other Usage pulldown > choose Partial Wake Usage. Those are the problem apps, uninstall them or disable background updates, etc. You'll have to do a little research on what they are doing. Should help with battery life.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dhilberg:
Thanks, I'll give that a try.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NuShrike:
Looks like you have no signal most of the time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jannaa:
I have this exact same issue on any CM rom. The ting i do to "fix" it is to let the phone boot normaly, let everything load then i turn on wifi and before the phone get then chance to reboot itself i reboot the phone. When it starts everything is good and wifi is on.

Now you can turn wifi on and off as you like.

Works for me.

any1 know a build that had gps working for Desire-z models? the last 10 did not.. :/

i am still trying to find a gps.vision.so that works..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jannaa:
I used this gide to delete gps cache, and gps have worked as a charm ever since.

$ su

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crachel:
surely someone has automated this process as suggesting to users to enter dd commands is downright dangerous.. you will seriously brick if you don't input those partitions EXACTLY
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BobbyHill:
Someone did write a script, but I just woke up and I must be too fuzzy in the head to find it lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jannaa:
As this is a nightly treath, I have confidence in my fellow peers.

So i believe all who need to follow any of the sugestions in this treat know how to reed instructions, and know they might have to revert to an backup/re-flash their phones.

I noticed trackpad hangup is delayed where on older nightlies it was instant. Im using 7.0 but does these newer nightlies do the same thing?

Love the Overclocked "nonsense" CM7
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NicksVideo:
It's weird because I've always read about people not getting their wifi working on the first boot after a fresh rom install, but I'd never personally experienced that, and I've been flashing the CM7 nightlies since crackflashers was cranking them out everyday. So I'm not sure if this problem is even related to that, as it stated with my phone randomly locking up after I'd been running the rom for over a day.

But that aside, I'm pretty frustrated now. After I got my phone up and running last night (without trying wifi, obviously) before I went to bed, I rebooted a couple times just for good measure, like you suggested. I used it for quite some time today during lunch, and then on my way home from work, rebooted one more time just for luck. When it booted back up I enabled wifi and was able detect some wireless networks as I passed them while driving. Awesome! I figured it was fixed and I'd be able to just log on to my wifi network when I got home. Nope.

I got home, went into settings > wireless and networks and it froze. I got a force close for com.android.process, I think it was, and was unable to access ANY of the options from the settings menu. So I rebooted. And guess what? Back to the same old boot loop. What the hell? Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adame09:
have you retryied downloading everything(rom,gapps) and clearing everything in clockwork recovery(system, data, boot, cache, dalvik cache)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NicksVideo:
Yes. I've tried everything.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ohgood:
better be careful with dd, there is no going back if you kill partitions/stuff with it. careful boys and girls !
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Lol every time i see the dd i dont even pay attention because I dont want my phone to be bricked.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gravityrat:
Not sure if it helps anyone but I was having the same problem with gps and I completely deleted gapps and then reflashed it and I got my gps back.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HLeenders:
It's fairly quiet out here these days. I would'nt be surprised if the CM team was cooking an easter egg for us. Let's wait and see.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
They've been workin': http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=vision .. but that would be funny if it was released on Easter.. i'm [im]patently waiting for the next update.. hopefully it fixes the constant disconnects (off/on/off/on) with the Google servers.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eunkipark92:
hmm i ran cm7,sense, and cm7 nightlies on my g2

and when i ran sense on my phone the signal took only about 20% usage on my phone but on my cm7 the signal takes more than display

for example signal 43% display 25% something like that.

i heard there is to match something and reduce the signal battery drain?

i think i read that somewhere.

does this really drain more battery like compare to sense.? or is it just a bug on battery usage thing..

if it does drain more battery how do i apply the fix people were talking about.

sorry i had my g2 less than a month and really noob in g2 stuffs...

came from vibrant.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HLeenders:
If you wan't my opinion; stay with the radio the provider provided you with. Once you start to flash custom roms (which do not change your radio) you should not see a difference regarding the signal. It could be that an OTA (On The Air) update from your provider improves your device somewhat in retrieving a better signal. But then you should wait untill some of the developers here throw that radio into their kitchen and provide us with a .zip to flash it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Did you ever think that maybe everything else in the ROM was so power-saving that they are using less power, not the radio using more?

Not saying that's exactly the case, but remember the percentages don't give you raw numbers om mAH used, which is the only way we can reliably tell exactly how much juice your radio is eating.

All the percentage does is compare one thing to another. Use any one thing more than you used to, and it'll throw them all off.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eunkipark92:
no i was just wondering since i had 2android devices before the g2, vibrant,,mytouch 4g and both of them had something in common. the displayed always used more battery than anything else( for me), unless i put my phone in my pocket all day.

i just find it weird for my radio to use more battery than my display.

oh well then again i didnt have my g2 for less than a month so im new to all these.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Well I came from the Vibrant as well and I can tell you the screen on the G2 is much less power-hungry than the Vibrant.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Second that! Its really night and day difference if your coming from the galaxy s.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theratdude64:
I can vouch for the complete opposite. I envy my wife's Vibrant for lasting 2 days on a charge, my G2 is 100% dead after like 8 hours of light use. My new G2 lasts better than my old one, but she can play games all the time on hers and do tons of stuff, and still lasts 2 days.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
General battery life has been better but I was just specifically talking about the difference of how much battery the screen used.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theratdude64:
I always thought that screen took less power, aren't the black pixels completely off?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
Could be how it reports it in cm7, my radio was always top consumer at 60ish %. Now I'm trying Miui for the last week and display is always highest now...same usage as well.

Go figure? Makes no sense to me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tvdang7:
Too many variables, humingbird cpu, amoled screen different battery. Technically i think the vibrant is better at battery life I could be wrong.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
I use a battery power user app called power tutor that shows me apps that are using battery power.. shows mW in the time span u choose, plus more.. try it out.. I like it.

Nightly #42 is up!

New merges in #42: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=vision

DL link: http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=vision
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jannaa:
As for now 42 is working like a charm.

Love the longpress on statusbar icon to open settings.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
As long as it took for 42 to get up, I'm happy people are seeing improvements! Downloading now...should these be renamed from nightlies to 5-lies?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
It has been a long time coming but this one is worth the wait. Really excited to see what other new features the CM team has in store for us in the coming weeks.

With regards to the nightlies become less frequent wasn't there a problem with the buildbot so all the builds for all the phones are pushed out manually or something.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Yes, loving that new feature.. but #42 is nice! And no problems so far.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
The battery usage meter is completely wrong when it comes to the screen.

It's funny how the Nexus One had the reverse problem in regards to Sense. Sense would super underestimate while Cyanogenmod got it right.

With the G2, Cyanogenmod underestimates instead.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theSpam:
Not in #42 unfortunately. Hopefully it'll appear in the next nightly :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spovat:
just tested on #42, appears to be fixed
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merdely:
No it's not. The commit came HOURS after I installed #42 on my phone.

And I still have the bug (on #42).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] popokrew:
I wish the 1 transparent pixel line on the drop down menu would get fixed on screen densities higher than stock. Wasn't always there and I think it showed up around the lower 30s nightlies.

maybe it doesn't fix existing emails in the app? I sent myself an email from a laptop and margins are fine. existing emails still have the bug

Anyone know of a widget to clear market data, cache and download data? Because, man.. I love cm roms but its annoying having to clear those once in awhile, and I can't have downloads on the spot when I need them until I clear cache/data or reboot..

Is it gingerbread or bugs? Because, froyo roms are instant downloads anytime.. :/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Huh? Not sure what problem your speaking of but thinking I don't have it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
Yeah, it won't be fixed until you flash the next nightly, which is not 42. If you're not seeing the problem, it's most likely because you recently turned your phone to landscape mode while rendering text with webkit, then back again. A landscape tilt has so far been the only thing that temporarily fixes the problem (usually until reboot).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spovat:
good to know. thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] djfoo000:
was holding off flashing stable #1 when people reported issues. Kinda waiting for stable #2 but couldn't wait any longer and flashed nightly #42 from Cm 6.1.1 wiped /data and /cache. Rebooted after first boot. No boot loops. Titanium backup kept FC-ing on me (even after fixing permission in recovery) so found a .apk and used that version instead. So far so good. WiFi did drop every few minutes though. GPS broke so gonna try that EFS wipe tool later when the rain stops (urgh i hate rain).

Awesome ROM I must say. Wondered what took me so long to make the jump.

EDIT: EFS wipe .zip worked like a charm. Awesome job these devs are doing.

How come nobody mentioned an FPS bump in gingerbread? The whole thing feels so smooth now!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrbmg:
Man, used that superwipe+ along with #42 and all is great. Really made a big difference. Seems to be the most stable out of the bunch :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
I'm still rocking 41, but with the status bar tweaks I'm thinking of getting 42, I usually don't play the nightly game, but 7.0.0 had some minor annoyances.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] da900:
Who knows what is the Nightly #51? It's a much smaller than #41 or #42.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nyt:
51 is odd, status bar colors not working, small size.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
I hate making assumptions. I'm so curious as to the reason behind the bump from 42 straight to 51, could these be 7.1.0 nightlies or were the builds broken for nine consecutive compiles?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nyt:
51 is definitely broken. don't bother.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Came from #42 been running #51 for about an hour now and nothing seems broken to me. What is not working for you?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nyt:
Aside from when I was downloading #42, the screen would turn on and off when I had the notification bar down. It also rebooted in the middle of the download. The status bar also was not getting the right colors from CM settings. These are things that shouldn't happen with the changes listed between 42 and 51.

Also, the zip is 5MB smaller and the build numbers jumped by 9. I think its safe to say something went wrong.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dleonseng:
Hi just wondering if I can go to build 51 from 40 directly?

The two extra themes are missing from nightly 51, not showing up in the Theme Chooser. That could explain the smaller filesize.

Good news is the Gmail margin issue has been fixed.

My theme changer is working fine. Only shows system and the other themes that I have installed manually.

I came from #42...wiped cache three times and wiped dalvik cache three times.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
That would explaing why people are reporting things as broken...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dhilberg:
Yes, but the two themes normally included with CM7 (Cyanbread and Androidian) are missing. It shows Androidian but no screenshot of it, and when you apply it nothing changes.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BobbyHill:
Why so many times?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Apparently clockwork recovery does not clear things the way it should....so as recommended by most...I started triple wiping.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
I have started doing this do, does seems to make things better. The superwipe zip seems to do a good job to.

I installed a sense gingerbread rom earlier today, after I had restored all my apps and rebooted a couple of times it ran as fast as I have ever seen a sense 2.3 rom run. and that was with out overclocking. The only thing I had done differently to previous sense flashes was manually wipe system, data and cache 3 times
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HLeenders:
Third time lucky? Or is it just a habit? Addiction maybe? I never wipe anything at all.

Edit; It seems neccesary for you.

HELP!

Ok, before I state this problem. I admit I am a text hoarder. I have 12000 text saved with sms backup app and on my phone. so I am having a werid problem that is causing my messaging app to force close constantly and causing my chompsms to mess up also. I can click the messaging app but before I get to settings it FC's on me. I have tried everything from wiping and restoring to erasing data... any suggestions would be great.. keep in mind i've been using smsbackup since the g1 days 2 and a half years ago all the way up to now.. it works fine, it keeps my messages but I don't think my messaging app likes that many. I've set NO LIMITS in the regular messaging app and everything. I've even tried deleting the messaging app, and that caused chompsms to SEND but not recieve, so my whole friday night I thought people were ignoring me haha, but that wasn't the case. ANY help would be great, this is a issue for me, this is the reason I paid 300+ for a smart phone and bought a bigger SD card. we should be able to hold any amount of text. I wonder if cyanogen can do anything about this? like set the REG messaging app to NO LIMIT to start off or something. I have no idea, thanks for ANY advice. willing to try anything at this point
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HLeenders:
Make a backup of your SMS file on your PC. Then erase on your phone every SMS which is older then 7 days. You probably won't notice it, and no, it does not hurt.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spovat:
had the exact same issue (13k + texts). I liked the idea of having all my texts available to search through but it was getting ridiculous with the FCs. I just backed them all up and deleted them. no more fc. I guess our phones aren't designed to hold that many texts
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crachel:
SMSBackup+ will save them all to a label in your Gmail account and you will still be able to search and they won't be causing you problems on your phone
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] klmsu19:
I dont think any phone is meant to store 13k+ texts. Every time the sms app has to open and cache all that data it'll crash a lot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] caros_hsu:
derectly from 39 to 51,no wipe,working fine~
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Ya plain and simply get rid of those text. I think that's your answer. You can always have them on your computer or gmail to access at all times.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
I can confirm the themes in the theme chooser being gone. But I really like the new color of the status bar and other places, must be in a minority on that one! 'About' still says 7 and not 7.1. Was hoping it would be since it was such a large jump in numbers but oh well :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
Just flashed #51 and can confirm the Gmail problem is now fixed. I haven't used CM7 since R2 because of this issue, but I noticed something just now that I can't recall being there before. But, can anyone do any kind of focusing (auto or manual) with the camcorder functionality on this? I can only do that in the camera app for still photos, not videos.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OFinch:
you guys must not understand my hoarding haha I'm just messing around.. thanks for all the advice.. guess i'm gonna have to delete them.. I can't even get into the app to delete them.. other than wipe phone fully.. any suggestions to do that? I can't believe in 2011 and with the technology of our phones it can't hold that much.. no matter the size of your micro sd card.. crazy. again thanks for the advice.. any options to remove them if I am getting force closes?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theSpam:
Looks like the jump from #42 to #51 may be because of the impending release of 7.0.1:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] klmsu19:
Im sure the phone has plenty of storage space to store the messages, I think its more the OS crashing out when the SMS app tries to cache all those messages to display them.

Its like the contacts, if you have 5-7,000 contacts itll bog down and FC at times. It has them all stored, its just displaying them takes up too much memory.
