Wow, you're really amazing. If only Cyanogen had you on his team, the whole ROM would be finished and flawless by now. Did HTC steal the design specs for this phone from you? You are my idol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aegentirony:
Bwahahhhahaahah:D:D:D:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Hardware variation is possible and this has been proven true in other HTC devices (and other electronics). Different regions, different plants, minor revisions/updates, all play a role in how hardware functions. You won't notice this in apps or even most rom functionality, but some low level code can interact differently with certain device hardware...

The fact that this problems seems to be pretty widespread and has been tweaked back and forth by Steve indicates that there is an issue. What it may be is anyone's guess however...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
:(

Oh well, in the end it's worth doing a wipe install test (after a nandroid of course) in order to determine if the problem could have come from a flaw in the upgrade process.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Couldn't have said it better myself. All these people come in here and think that they're experts because they read the tech specs on the HTC website and somehow managed to perm-root without burning their house down.

I've coded before, I believe primatage has as well, Ganii I think still does, and you are learning C, right? Care to guess who the people in this thread that actually know WTF they're talking about are? LOL.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] UnSungHERO420:
I came in the thread thinking there was some HUGE change in #7 since there was like 10 new pages worth of posts. I thought wrong.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Lol I hate coding... After 3 Java courses and 1 C, I dislike it now more than before taking them...

On a side note, HTC announced that we should be getting official 2.3 in spring (whenever that is) so that should fix up a lot of issues...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
I literally lol'd at that one, but it's seriously true. Gravis and a very small handful of people in this thread have been through hundreds of pages of this since the first build-your-own-CM7 threads popped up a couple of months ago -- yet there are still people who very obviously haven't read a thing, and routinely skip 10-15 builds at a time, who come in here and start spouting out nonsense (and I'm not just talking about bad grammar).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adrien1977:
I would not mind doing a wipe then test then roll back. The problem is the random aspect of things. That's why I was asking to see if there is a way to see if there are logs I can take a look at to first try to reproduce the reboot then do a full wipe then nandroid and test again. But thanks for the suggestions though
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merdely:
Look at the commit logs. When people started complaining about GPS issues, there were GPS related commits. When they went away, there were other GPS commits. When the problems started again, there were more GPS commits.

Do some research.

It's good to see that you laugh at people that are having problems. It probably means you're a good person.

Wow. Unbelievable.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merdely:
Yes.

I actually took quite a bit of time to already have tracked that information down and post it earlier today...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Obviously you don't understand what "wiping" does. Nothing is actually erased, whether you do it once, twice, or 10 times. Formating the partition just erases the pointers to the actual bits stored on that partition. They are still there and recoverable if you know how. Unless you are rewriting 0's over your disk, nothing is wiped. This is sometimes done multiple times depending on the security level...

Also, case in point: I never wipe and have never had gps problems. So there goes your wiping theory.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
@Merdely

Here is an easier way to see the changes.

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#q,status:merged+project:CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_vision,n,z

This shows all the merged commits for only vision in chronological order (which isn't all that much in the last few weeks). All the QCOM GPS patches and reverts can be easily identified.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
That's a nice link but the only problem there is you can't see all framework changes that affect all devices like the battery percent mod. So using that as your only source of changes is not really a good idea. I find it more informative to just read through all merged changes and just ignore the ones specific to other devices.

That's a good starting place though for most of the people in this thread that may not know how to read the commits.

And as a side-note, I noticed that my battery is blinking on and off along with the data up/down arrows. Hmm...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
That link only pertains to gps changes which are in the vision branch. Framework, CMparts, and other projects which are not device specific are built by the bot along with the device branch...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Yeah, I got it. For some reason I thought you were trying to pass it off as a changelog for the nightlies. I just re-read your post and realized I must have mis-understood. My bad!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SomEngangVar:
Have you tried using FasterFix from the market? Worth a try if you haven't.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Pretty good battery life on #5 :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merdely:
I agree. I'm running #5 with #4's gps.vision.so & pershoot's 0218 kernel. I have "ONDEMAND" set to set on boot. No other CPU changes. Today, after about 19 hours, I was at about 50%. Then, I downloaded, installed, and tested a Cisco VPN front-end (http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/). Within about 3 minutes, I lost about 15% battery life. Even with that, I was at ~13% at 24 hours. I think without the extremely heavy use along with the VPN experimentation, I would have easily made 36+ hours.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
IIRC, OnDemand is the stock governor. So no need to set it on boot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
I've got a couple of questions (currently running #4 so I have GPS).

1. I have a T-Mobile G2, but when I was using Virtuous, the new market had 'My Apps' as the far right shortcut, whereas CM7 has that stupid 'T-Mobile' link that just takes me to another 'featured' apps list. Anyone know what I need to change to make that 'My Apps' again? (I know I can get to 'My Apps' by pressing menu, but that's an extra keystroke that I don't want).

2. Trackball unlock - I have wake turned on, but can't find unlock in the settings. Is it in #4?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] RiTZiE_CDN:
I just wanted to give some feedback on my experiences as there are a lot of people having issues that I haven't ran into yet (phew).

My process for updating is first I download the latest nightly via the mirror sites (I don't really use ROM manager for anything). I reboot into CWM recovery and run a backup and then flash the new ROM. I don't wipe cache or dalvik and don't fix perms at any time. I then flash the latest Pershoot kernel and reboot my phone. This process has worked for me and I haven't had any issues other than downloads failing until I cleared the data cache in the Manage Applications menu.

I have no problems with GPS (I use it everyday), data, WiFi, gapps, random reboots, wake up, etc. Battery life has been good and I don't really judge it too bad since I'm flashing daily and I charge my phone every night and use it as my table clock/alarm clock.

The only issue I have is that I don't receive voicemail notifications. I have set the appropriate information up in Call Settings and I am starting to think it's a SIM card or carrier issue (seems its only the Canadian carriers that I have read about ppl not receiving vm notifications).

My stuff

- ROM: Latest nightly

- Kernel: Latest Pershoot

- SetCPU: Currently set at 245min and 1017max with screen off and battery level profiles

- Radio: 12.28h.60.140fU_26.06.02.27_M

- Main setup apps: ADW Launcher EX, Beautiful widgets, CalWidget

I read the forum daily and think this ROM is awesome!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adrien1977:
hmmm.

I am sure then it is one of the apps i have running in the background.

I got rid of

Qik

SystemPanel

Circular Battery

Battery Booster

Now the only things i have in the background are (from the settings-> applications->Runnin):

Google Voice

ZDBox

Mobile Signal Widget

Google Services

Maps

Android Keyboard

Now when i switch to Astro I see a lot more apps running

One that intrigs me is Wifi Calling,

I know it is not running because i do not turn it on.

But it still shows up there. Weird

Let see if i still have reboots today
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BRodz:
I just flashed the build and it seems like data is broken for me. Both edge (all I have here) and wifi not working. Anyone else experiencing this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bahmanxda:
Just flashed it and tnh i dont see any different from this and the latest unofficial builds ,the only issue i had with them was the blue sceen on videos and it is still there, but this is the first one though.;)

edit: spelling
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
Just flashed and everything seems fine to me. Took a minute to boot up. Service is fine. Did you wipe data cache and dalvik cache?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kingvaj23:
Are you guys sure I need recovrery 3.0??? Cause my rom maanager says my image is up to date and I'm downloading right now..and it also hbad a gapps add on download??should I install as soon as its done loading or what????
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BRodz:
Yeah I wiped data and cache. I will try reflashing and see what happens.

Edit:I just rebooted and it seems to have fixed my data problems. I didn't need to reflash. Strange.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bahmanxda:
had the same issue with unofficial builds too, after the first boot wifi wont work for some reason but it you reboot your phone again it will be fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
Yes. It has nothing to do with rom manager. You won't be able to back this rom up.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] illithid:
I am confused, do I need the eng-hboot to flash the cm7 nightly or I need it only to flash the new clockworkmod recovery?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kingvaj23:
Sorry I didn't understand..do I just commence the flashing once the downloads done? Even though I didn't download recovery 3.0?? Or what should I do????
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bahmanxda:
Only to flash recovery but if you dont want ENG you can follow this guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=900460

the only downside will be since both cm7 and clockworkmod 3 are experimental so if you get very unlucky and both of them fail at the same time you wont have the option to use adb commands.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kingvaj23:
Thanks man. On my way home to do everything on my laptop.

Only wipe cache and dalvik-cache is enough or should I

do a full wipe?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
Should be straight with cache wipe. I am

Does anyone else have a hard time installing the new gaps?

I've cleared data/cache/dalvik, fix permissions, and still cannot get gaps installed. Can anyone help me out with this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gee one:
I have both the GB and Swype installed, but I still end up on the hardware keyboard. It must be left over muscle memory from the G1. The GB keyboard is growing on my because it's more versatile than Swype and the word completion is fast.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] coredalae:
Nah its just that using the hw keyboard leaves more usefull space on the screen ;)

That said word predictions is getting so good my next phone might be without a hw kb.

Anyways. #5 is running nice so far :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tankmorph:
Just so you know, only the bare minimum will install with the new gapps (market). The rest has to be downloaded manually.

Are you getting an error when trying to flash gapps in recovery?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] user1307:
Is messaging available from lock screen? I selected the option but when I slide it, it doesn't do anything.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zshakespeare:
I personally prefer swiftkey because you can use it's incredible phrase completion with the hardware keyboard. Works with this rom too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aodpoe:
I do not get a error when i apply gapps-gb-20110115-signed on recovery, when i apply the update it reads Installation complete! Install from sdcard complete. But once it loads up to the homescreen i search through my apps and i do not see the market app...... weird because i did the same steps on my N1 and it work on the first apply with it.... Damn G2.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] waffleman911:
It should be, in the other nightlys it worked. Right underneath where you turn on the message from lock screen should be another setting called messaging tab application. Click that and the click what ever app you want. After that on the lock screen when you swipe the message tap it will open what ever you chose to.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tankmorph:
Yes, it works. You have to select the Messaging app under "Messaging tab application" in Settings>CM Settings>Input Settings.

[EDIT: Nevermind...I'm slow]
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] user1307:
Lol, thanks guys. I've been flashing CM7 for the last 2 weeks and always wondered why it didn't work, apparently I've always overlooked that setting!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
The good news is that although Wifi calling is showing up as running...its not actually running to the point where it is affecting battery drain. For that to happen you would have to connect to wifi open the app and switch your phone to wifi calling. The G2 has a ton of memory compared to the G1 so it doesnt bother me that many apps run in the background...because it doesnt directly affect the performance of my G2.

Android was meant to run this way...by having those apps in the background...it means when you want to use them they will load instantly. But if they were off you would just have a bunch of free memory going to waste...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrbmg:
Just installed #7 and no problems this way. Using pershoots latest gb kernel, oc 1017ghz to 248mhz.

Never had gps problems and when I flash from rom manager I always run gapps with no wipe or backup. If I do feel the need to backup, I always update everything before I fix permissions in rom manager, reboot, let it load fully, then backup current rom with rom manager, let it run then on restart download nightly.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling flash? I had the same problem but that fixed it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adrien1977:
Well, it would not bother for it to stay in memory, however, looking at my battery results for today, (i attached the screenshot) you can see that it already used 4% when i never turned it on.

I had wifi connected (5%) but i never use the wifi calling. I even had it at 15% once.

I wonder if something is wrong there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adrien1977:
I thought the goal of this forum was to use the nightlies and report issues we find so we can test them.

However I agree about some of the winning.

I just want to report issues so we can have the best product.

On this subject, I want to report that wifi calling does not work for me. Wifi does though.

It tries to connect but hangs in there. I'll try to remove and reinstall to see if that fixes it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Yeah I do that sometimes as well. Since I force 3G only I can't determine whether its the rom, new radio, or T-Mobile. My 3G has always come in and out though so I am leaning towards T-Mo...

Yeah, I concur. The wifi app bogs down sometimes, mostly when you go out of range and it turns off. I have to clear data in the app through titanium to get it to work...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xudus:
Did search the forums and I couldn't find anything so I'm not really sure if it's a droid 'feature' or this particular ROM.

A lot of my contacts (synced w/ Exchange) have an extension number in the phone number. When looking at the contact, it'll will show as '+1 (403) 310-2255 x 1234'. When I try to dial that particular number from Contacts, it'll will dial as '+14033102255

9

1234'. The x is being replaced with 9!

Now, someone suggested to replace x with p, w or ,. It's not really an option as x comes from Outlook. Every new contact created with an extension will have an x and every time existing contact's number is edited it will add an x to it.

I don't really want to, but I have to add for clarification that all other smart phones that I have, do handle it correctly and in case of BB it even dials the extension after a pause.

Is there anything that I can change to make the dialer work properly?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] elracing21:
If you don't use wifi calling like me just uninstall the app via titanium backup. It does kill your battery trust me. I use wifi 24/7 when I am home which is most of the time and I have seen it eat up to 20% of battery.

Thanks for posting your fix - I had the no gps problem (unfortunately discovered it the one time a month I need sat nav!) on build 7. Tried wiping cache etc and downloading the apps suggested in this thread but to no avail. But copying the gps.vision.so from build 4 as you did worked a treat! :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wujxin:
In #6 and 7,when turned on wifi then turn it off ,the mobile data activated,does #8 fix this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Hosermage:
When I had that problem, it was because I went from CM6 to CM7 without wiping. It went away after I did a complete reinstall.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] misterykid89:
The gps is still not fixed in 8.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rraxda:
8 broke my gps, so I would say no gps is not fixed. Running a G2, came from nightly 40 (I think).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SomEngangVar:
Honestly I haven't had anything like that happen. I've had some odd market hiccups like unknown errors and the market telling me I had insufficient space to install when I always have it above 700 mb. These issues seem to go away after I try downloading or updating an app again and seem to happen mostly when I try to update multiple apps. I flashed the newest gapps a couple of versions ago -- five or six I think -- and everything is fine. I just do my ritual wipe cache/dalvik, install CM, install pershoot, stock launcher mod and reboot and my gapps have always been there. I didn't have to re-install a thing after updating them.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bmaing2:
Do you use rom manager? That's what I use and maybe that's were I get the issue? When you wipe data with rom manager its a full wipe not just cashe and delvic I have been using rom manager for so long I forgot about reboot in recovery and installing from sd I think ill hold of intill there has been more changes. For myself personally I have no issues with gps or wifi or network data feel bad for the people that do not sure why its works fine for some of us but not for others hmmm oh well thanks for the help. Any other thought feel free to share.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SomEngangVar:
Actually I've always just gone into clockwork. It's just become a force of habit since the recovery was in beta because a lot of stuff in Rom Manager didn't work with it. I don't know if going into recovery and flashing from there would fix things but it could be worth a try. It isn't like it could hurt anything. Maybe someone else would know more?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:
"My apps" in the market app is empty. Anyone has this issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pickx:
I've upgraded from #1 to #6. Since then GPS stopped working and mobile data has been turning itself on and downloading/uploading approximately 6 MB on its own.

Wiping, flashing #3.

edit: actually, just wanted to point out something that I find very interesting

I don't actually have a data plan! And I cannot access data with any other ROM that I've tried (including #3 just now). But with #6 I actually have a working data connection! It is a rather slow connection so I'd imagine it is using my WAP plan (which is capped at 30MB before extra charges start, so I really don't want to use this nightly any longer)
