[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
Curiosity got the better of me, but if you weren't going to use an app, why wouldn't you just back it up and uninstall it?

...........................

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] G1ForFun:
Because often times removing system apps can lead to problems.

Also sometimes its just easier. I used to flash a CM7 Launcher Mod zip after every update to remove the stock ADW since I use ADW EX. After awhile I tried freezing the stock ADW Launcher and updating to the next nightly just to see if it would stay frozen and keep my EX as default with all my settings and sure enough it did.

So in some cases it can be the safer option than uninstalling and then in some cases it can make your life easier...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
Glad I asked..... see sometimes curiosity doesn't kill the cat...... not that I'm a cat of course :rolleyes: lol

I remember freezing wifi calling with TI and ending up with a bootloop. This was on cm6 or maybe stock rooted. Good to know the ability to freeze on cm7 causes no issues but removing it completely might be unwise. Since then though, I ended up using it until I got my tester cellfi setup. I might try freezing it again sometime. Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
i just completly delete it as well as ganoptimizer and kineto lib. causes battery drain and we dont have wifi calling in canada so the app is useless to us. no issues other than the usual fc when uninstalling wifi calling app, but if your quick u can click reboot in between fc's
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
+1 here .... but i cannot catch reboot inbetween ..... wifi modules should be optional addon ... not part of stock rom ... there are as many of Desire Z out there as the T mobile G2 and we donot need wifi calling
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xandermpls:
Wifi calling is very important. No signal? Or overseas?

Wifi calling is free and doesn't use minutes because it uses the ip address.

I am on the latest nightly and my wifi has been a bit jigged.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
I seem to remember reading in a changelog that CM was supposed to detect whether or not it is a G2 or Desire Z and either install wifi calling or not. There was a time when wifi calling was not on my phone, but it has appeared during the last few months.

Edit: this is what I'm referring to

* Vision: Only install WiFi calling on TMUS devices - attn1

Perhaps those damn T-mobile references in the build.prop is messing with this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
All I know is that its probably safer to just freeze than remove. Deleting wifi modules (even if it just the related wifi calling one) can cause issues. Just make sure you make a fresh nand backup before deleting or freezing any system related stuff. Here is a good list of stuff that is removable...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
Download the Gscripts lite from he market (its free) type this into it, and every time you upgrade to the newest nightly, go into Gscripts lite and run this command. It will auto uninstall the T-Mobile wifi calling apk, and reboot your phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
It would make more sense if it meant devices that are available on T-Mobile US. Meaning since the Vision is available on T-Mobile US as the G2, it gets the wifi calling apk. Whereas something like the EVO would never be on T-Mobile US, so it would never get the apk installed.

As far as I know there is no way for the installer script to detect your carrier from recovery, so doing what you are suggesting isn't really possible. Detection would be done on build (by the buildbot) on a device-basis.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wilnotdie:
Couldn't cm just make it an option during first boot? Or

Isn't there a way to detect which hboot is installed?

The first would be perfect with the second being a toss up since people may have ventured away from the original hboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
The .so module file doesn't exist anymore. I remember seeing it a while back (I think it was in 2.2) but its not there anymore. Everything else is correct though. Not trying to be a hack police guy but I didn't want anyone to freak out when it said file doesn't exist :)

Opps... I was thinking it was still in /system/lib/modules. You are correct :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] .A.J.:
So far so good with 183. The last two builds I tried had issues with the camera or the phone not staying powered off but this one doesn't have those problems.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KarlosTheJackal:
Meow?

Wait there is more then just the WiFi Calling APK to uninstall? I thought just removing that one APK was all i needed to do?

What does ganoptimizer & kineto lib do? and where are they located?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
I've created a script that customizes cm7 the way I want it. On top of removing/adding apps and changing kernel to pershoot, the most "important" feature is the fact that I have included the virtuous oc daemon (thus removing the need for setcpu). It makes the rom blazing fast (hopefully not just a placebo effect, but it feels a lot smoother). If anybody would like to check it out, let me know. I can share the script and/or the rom itself, already zipped. I will not distribute it publicly because I believe I would need permission from the virtuous team, and also because it would be a lot of work, which requires time that I do not have :P I have been running this for the last 3 days and it works perfectly.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
yes hehe, the other two are part of wifi calling. ganoptimizer can be banished with titanium, and kineto lib resides in the /system/lib folder, i just delete it with root explorer. i have noticed drastically increased battery life after removing these.

cheers!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Zaiaku:
Anyone else having this problem:

When I remove WiFi Calling APK, Wifi just stops working all together?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
no, that should not happen. everything works fine and it seems like i'm actually getting better battery life, but it's hard to quantify.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
I just removed it myself. All is well. Besides, it just ran in the background when wifi is off anyways. Had to be a resource hog...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
make sure u get rid of gan optimizer and kineto ril as well! pretty decent battery savings
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Where is the ril file? You meant .so file, right?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PooN_HeaD:
can nightly be installed on top of eachother like updates? (noob question)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Yes, cache and dalvik-cache wipes are advised
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dixxa:
I'm interested in those improvements :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
For months now, I have been using the paid version of 'Rom Manager' from the market. Every morning, I go into Rom Manager and select "Check for updates", which sees if you your running the latest nightly. It will ask if you wanna update, which I select "yes", then It will ask if you wanna download GApps, which I select "Yes", then it will begin to download the latest rom. I make sure I'm on wifi before I do any of this, because it will be faster.

After download, It will then ask me - If i wanna Wide data and cash, Back up existing rom, and Wipe Delvik cash. I aways select "Wipe Delvik cash" and then it will promt me to reboot, which I select "yes". Then BAMB! Rom is updated.

I only do a Data Wipe if I know there is a newer rom kernel introduced.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
yes sorry, .so and in the folder i mentioned. suffering from a chest infection...guess my brain isnt all here either :s

Wired Headset

Does anyone have issue using the mic of a wired headset? I have an 'iphone' compatible headset that works on stock, in so much as the mic and play/pause button are functional, but under CM7, the mic doesn't work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Just took a look at the recent changes and all I can say is I can not wait till the next nightly drops!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Yeah, there are a few more connected to wifi calling but they are also connected to htcril which will cause no signal (cellular) to be picked up if removed. We should be pretty safe with just the removal of the apks. Lib files with no connected apks should be okay to be left... its just not as clean. I know how you feel with the cold. It seems to be going around. I just caught it from my wife (damn her!) :(

The new nightly changes look great. It seems led fixes are coming. Hopefully we can get our rapid trackball flashing operating again. Fingers crossed :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
"On top of all of the above, we are currently in a soft feature-freeze for another 7.1 RC."

If my guess is correct than only the next nightlies will get the latest updates and a 7.1 RC will be released that pretty much matches last nights nightly. I remember something like this happening in the past and we had to decide whether to go with the nightly or the RC. I went with the RC - for one night. :cool:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
yea i wouldnt mess with any other lib than the kineto.so, ive been deleting it for quite some time with no side effects. i currently have my trackball light flashing rapidly with "light flow" on the market, tho id love the ability to control it natively in cmparts. lets see what the change does :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wilnotdie:
Light Flow finally works, thanks! Have you been able to get it flashing in a constant rapid mode? Only flashes like 7 times, then pauses, then 7 times, then pause, etc....

I hope they keep improving it. Notification sounds should play as soon as the vibration starts, but it doesnt. no big deal tho, i'll just mix and match with other apps to get it working to my taste..

Thanks again. Cmon native trackpad flash settings!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nyflyguy:
Does anyone know how I can make tmobile my account work again? When I tried to download it from the market there was no install button so I found an older apk through google but when I tried to use it it said something about not having a tmobile branded phone so I assume i would need to change something in the build.prop but I dont have a clue what I need to change to make the app work again. Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Change this line:

ro.product.model=HTC Vision

to this:

ro.product.model=T-Mobile G2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
I couldn't get it flash trackball led at all... I tried changing rate, color, compatibility mode, etc.... LEDmeknow works the best still. I did notice the starting and stopping of the flash too, like you. That was the regular led and not the trackbal one though. Its a pretty complicated program with many variables. I'll keep playing with it and let y'all know if I have any good results and what settings did it.

Oh... and if anyone can share their settings please post 'em!

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,7614

"SystemUI: Add 4g iconography".

Flashed the nightly, the icon is still "H". Not sure if this change is meant to make the default icon the "4G" icon, or to just add it to the package for selection later? This is confusing to me because the "4G" icon pictures are already in the previous CM7 nightly ROM packages, but aren't used.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
I always wondered about this, but is CMparts Spare Parts? If not, I only have Spare Parts since I been flashing CM7 months ago.

I seen this commit also, but still see "H" .. but i'm glad I still see "H" since HSPA/HSPA+ is still 3.5/3.75G (upgraded 3G).

4G = LTE & WiMax

4.5G = LTE-Advance & WiMax-Advance
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
I was wondering the same thing
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Yep I know. But I prefer the look of the "4G" icon, and its what is used in the stock T-mo ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
led me know worked as well for me but not rapid trackball flash, light flow works perfect but only if led me know isnt enabled and make sure your default led flashing is not enabled.

also yea mine only flashes 7 times then pauses...but im happy with it nevertheless because the stock flashing is......so.....freakin.....slooooow lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
im no expert but i always thought cmparts is the cyanogen menu..its how i always referred to it. from what ive seen the changes made in cmparts in the changelog directly corresponded to cm menu changes. but again im guessing, i could be completly wrong lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Yeah, that was the first thing I stopped (ledmeknow). I got it working. Apparently, it needed to reboot before it worked with trackball too, lol! The only issues is that accessability will uncheck light flow and things get stuck light the standard led while unplugging charger and some things like that but ledmeknow does similar stuff. Hopefully the rewrite of led will correct some of those issues that seem to happen no matter what program you use or just stock led notifications.

To the other guys about the H and 4G icons... there is a thread about the replacing the H with 4G with some good instructions on how to edit your theme. They do have a flashable zip but it doesn't support nightlies. They should list it as an option in CM Parts or add a theme that uses 4G. Also, trackball led options would be nice too instead of just the standard enable pulse notifications.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
It is. Spare parts is totally different apk. Cmparts, helper, and notifier are all linked together while spare parts is seperate.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Yep, its easy to switch them, and I do it usually, but I was just wondering what exactly that change means when the 4G icons are already in the CM7 ROMs, but not being used. So why is there a change adding 4G icons?

I agree, it really should just be a toggle option in status bar tweaks. Wouldn't be hard to implement I'm sure.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
ok.. just the name CMparts (aka CM Settings) threw me off, lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
I think it was for LTE/wimax... I'm not sure why since 4G icon set had been there for a while. My only guess it for some at&t device that has the EDGE/UTMS/HSPA/LTE and maybe the H icon was going off while on LTE causing confusion. That and general icon errors are my only explanation. Maybe it was a general change while only being a specific fix for a few models.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Ah, interesting point. Hadn't thought about that. Good call. Still a puzzling naming convention to add considering the icons are already there... You'd think the commit would be called something to the effect of "change which icons associated with each connection on LTE devices".

Still, I really want the toggle switch to turn on 4G icons in the CMSettings...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
You can probably easily make a gscript to change the icons after you upgrade.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
I agree... so of the commits have horrible names and descriptions so its hard to follow sometimes. Still though, we are thankful for them (just saying so someone doesn't upset from a missunderstanding :p).

A script would be cool. I used to make simple ones for stuff all the time and should get back to it since I do replace a ton of stuff after a flash. I should get back into some stuff. I used to play around with stuff and upload it here but since CM is so refined... there is hardly a need for my basic hacks and mods anymore. Well, anyways, I'm rambling on here. A bit of a buzz from my cold medicine, lol!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Agreed.

I'm not super handy with scripts. Its simple enough to open up the ROM.zip and drag-n-drop the 4G icons with changed names into the systemui.apk. Still kinda a hack and I really should just learn the make a script to do it for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] elracing21:
I know I'm going to get a lot of sh*t for this but I'm wondering if anyone can post the super wipe .zip files. The searching feature of the xda app sucks.

Here is the changelog from Koushik Dutta himself

via his Google+ post
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Blades:
OK, didn't see the requests until now.

So basically you make two files.

build.prop-stock build.prop-new

git diff --no index ./build.prop-stock ./build.prop-new > patchprop.diff

This generates output to the file patchprop.diff that can be used in a script to automatically patch a new build.prop file.

You have to edit the file to change both names of build.prop-* so that they are the same.

Here's mine.
