Look, my gps has always worked, but the fact of the matter is this thread was created to talk about bugs on the nightly's and for many users there GPS doesn't work, so the thread is being used for what it was created for. I just kind of skim past the GPS post cause I don't have that issue. No big deal.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
the built-in kernel works just fine with this.. u can also try Pershoots (OC/UV/NEON -- 1.516GHz) kernel which works also.. I used to use his, but i stick with the built-in kernel with nightlys since 1.) I don't feel like flashing it almost everyday after a new nightly flash.. and 2.) He takes a few things away, and re-adds it (like button brightness and deathray mode).. so the up and down stuff with his kernels got annoying.. so I just stick with the built-in kernel.. less of a headache.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
I understand that, however, there is a difference between just whining and being constructive... the true purpose of this thread. If one finds a bug then look into it more closely, eliminate all variables that may affect it, read whether someone else is having the same issue, and use your brain. Some of the posts here are just upset users that offer nothing useful and just whine. Those are the ones that some of us get upset at.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] potentdro:
Ahh, never knew there was a built-in kernel. I just finished flashing Pershoots.

Ill go with the nightly kernel then.

Thanks for the reply.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
I understand your point, but what are you gonna do? Not everyone contributes solutions to the pot, some come just to piss in it. Such is life:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Dude clearly you have no idea what you are talking about.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rraxda:
So what is the general consensus with the gps issue (no icon, no lock). Are you guys on #21 using the gps.vision.so from #4 or flashing the different radios?

FYI, I tried the method of flashing #21 with GPS ON and it did not help in my case. (Tmo G2 gfree method)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Haha the RUUs would come with the correct libs, right? But those would be for the stock ROM, and of course we aren't flashing the entire RUU, just the actual radio portion so maybe you're both right?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
I flashed #21 (w/ GPS off) with the T-mo shipping radio after GPS not working, and it started working with #21, with no issues, even after turning on/off/on/off.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flyin18T:
Just flashed #21.....still no GPS. No icon, nothin'.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
The radio is a partition just like any other partition ex. /system, /data, /boot, etc. The .img just overwrites the partition specified. The lib files are located in the /system partition and are untouched unless you flash a rom, ruu, or anything that alters /system...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jimmah555:
I really don't want to come off like a total douche bag. This is essentially what I meant by my previous comments. Most people are here to whine about their problems, not offer anything constructive to help fix it. I know I can search without the GPS tag and have non-GPS things come up, but if I want to search for someone's possible fix for the GPS issue (which I don't have actually, just using it as an example), I'd have to wade through tons of whining to find the needle in the haystack. I love this community and everything it stands for, but sometimes complacency with whining does occur, and someone needs to say something about it. I'm just trying to make the forum a little easier to navigate is all. Enjoy your night ladies and gentlemen. I'm off to watch Yo Gabba Gabba with my daughter :-)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Crey23:
Hey my gps....ahh who cares!!!!!this the gps thread in case you missed it...the nightlies thread can be found elsewhere....lol.

After reading about 4 or 5 very eloquent post regarding the reason we need to drop thevgps issue you get two consecutive posts asking about it.,people at least try reading a few post prior to yours!!!!

Ok rant is over lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] popokrew:
OK well this post is not about GPS:

The last few nightlies I have noticed a cosmetic issue with the drop down notification bar. With the regular lcd density it is fine but with a density of 200 I'm seeing a small gap of transparency on the border, maybe 1 or 2 pixels wide. Anyone else see this on 200 density? Not really a big deal but hopefully it can get fixed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Yeah that's exactly what I meant, I just figured maybe you both misunderstood each other.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
A few people have noticed it (myself included) and posted about it a few pages back. I'm assuming it'll be fixed eventually. There are many, more important fixes needed though so I'm not complaining.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Try the stock kernel, I get over 20 hours of battery life with it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
I left out the part about RUU's or update.zips with the radio and libs built in...sorry for not being specific warlock.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] popokrew:
I read every post on every page so I'm not sure how but I missed it. Agreed on more important things to fix. Still a great rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Problem is, the post you originally quoted specifically mentions flashing radios over CM. Nowhere is there mention of flashing a RUU or a stock rooted rom... since according to the other thread that would be the only way one would actually end up with a radio and matching libraries. So your attempt to save face is inadequate.

Having said that, the reason I am busting your balls is because you are so adamant about an issue that needs further investigation. You seem to regurgitate things without really grasping it in it's entirety...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Lol read my other posts then...your too funny. And yes I have read your posts where you whine about others posting about the GPS issue. Real constructive.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
thx.. been wondering where a change log for the nightly's was (if there was one).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
Thanks for that, it's perfect. MUCH nicer on the eyes than review.cyanogenmod.com (and with the same info).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] klmsu19:
I think we can all agree to the fact that there is some issue flashing new radios of non-OEM ROMs with the libs.

The best theory is CM7 for the Vision has the Tmo ones build in since its built around the Vision which is the Tmo G2. So in theory the Tmo radio should be the best match with CM7
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
I read somewhere that Cyanogen is running the Egypt radio on his G2...from a Desire Z Sense rom. I don't think he agrees with your theory.

i have this problem.. when i play NFS on my DZ with this rom.. the game not make my phone wake until the end i play the game, but my phone will turn off or on stand by mode like i never play the game..sorry my broken language.. why this happen ya? it make me sick to touch the screen to wake my phone up everytime i play NFS
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] recasper:
Welp... Flashed and it worked fine for a bit. Now it will constantly reboot into the Cyanogen boot screen then into to the lock screen, then back again. over and over.

Anyone ran into this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
On #22: so far everything is working (GPS, WiFi, etc.) but I can't register for updates (I tried with both WiFi on/off).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BookCase:
Same here...can't register updates.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] brfield:
It really should auto register every time.

Cant reg in 21 either, server issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ostinq:
Did you turn on wifi when it started? Did you do a battery pull?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
I haven't been able to register since the nightlies numbers reset. I just manually check with rom manager every morning
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
I have the same issue with NFS but I think it could be that the game doesn't have a stay awake feature....and it should. I can't tell you how many times I lost my game because the screen turned off while I was platying. I try to remember to set my screen timeout to five minutes before I play...usually I touch the screen at least once every five minutes so it works out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Crey23:
Also, there is the zip file in the forum regarding the ril file overwrite to match your radio. So really there is no one best radio based on ROM.

I actually tried .27, and reverted back to .26 (TMO OTA radio update) and found that signal was actually better on .26, and DL speed doubled what I was getting in .27. UL, oth the other hand are about half on .26, than .27.

I may try the egypt version just to see what all the noise is about.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
The theory has flaws because all the low level stuff was written by the CM team. All the people that had GPS issues fixed the problem by upgrading their radio from T-Mo. Last, Vision is not G2. Vision is the model name that refers to both DZ and G2 which are renamed for different markets.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Yes, he said that in the RC thread a little while ago. There is strong evidence suggesting that some problems may be caused by incorrect radios/lib files, especially from sense based roms. The correlation thread is a good read and warrants much more investigation. However in my opinion it is premature to come to a conclusion without hearing from Steve who got most of the hardware working. There are also conflicting reports from users with different radios...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cold0ero:
For what it's worth....

Build #21 has been the best version of the mod yet. I am using the aus radio (27m) without a hitch by installing the pershoot kernel and using the radio to ril automatcher. I have wifi calling working just fine, gps locks as it should, and battery life is good even when having heavy use. I keep my clock speeds in the 245 mhz - 1007 mhz range with ondemand. I used to use interactive but switched to ondemand when I went to pershoot's kernel. I don't see a lack of response time.

When I flash, I flash the rom, clear the cache, clear the dalvick cache, install the kernel, then run the radio to ril. I believe that last step has to be done everytime you flash the rom. I use adwlauncher ex and everything runs smooth.

Now off to try #22 which looks like it removed the flip to silence option. Hope that gives insight to anyone having issues with the rom. If it's your first time running cyanogen 7, I would also run a full wipe for the first install. Remember to backup your data with titanium backup.

Oh, also, I live in South Florida and the radio works great here with the hspa+ working fine. (that's for those wondering if it's about location concerning the radio.)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
I'm using the 3/15 nightly and this thing has been as solid as stock. Absolutely zero problems running the tmo ota radio.

Only possible issue may be that I'm getting slow download speeds in the market, but I think I'll be keeping this one for a while.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merdely:
FWIW: There were zero commits between #21 and #22.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] onelikeseabass:
This fix worked for me, but there are several posts in this thread stating the contrary. It doesn't always work for everyone. Some people got it working by downgrading back to stock ota tmo radio after upgrading to the aus radio.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
It should also be noted that there is quite a large thread in the dev section explaining how the AUS radio is causing large battery drain with CM7 phones.

Folks,just wanted to share that 4 some reason here on buil #18 I've detected system.media process was on the loose seemingly no reason. Eating 100% cpu...had to killall mediaserver to get rid of it, in term emu, su mode... hard way to find out a battery hog here..anyway ill keep an eye for this from now on... maybe worthy to check cpu usage once in a while after upgrading to new nightly..

I'm in the netherlands and use a desire Z unbranded. I use radio .27 latest.

What is the radio TO use?

Everything is working on #21 so no problems.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HLeenders:
Why change it? If it works, don't fix it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
So I tried the matching RILs for the 26.06.02.27 and after almost a full day had to revert back. My data was consistantly under 1mb/s and my signal went haywire. Experienced a couple of dropped calls and had a "out of network service" display in my dialer. Can't speak for other radios but don't suggest anyone mess with the RILs on T-Mo with 26.06.02.27
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SomEngangVar:
So, quick question for everyone. Is anyone else unable to download the update to the facebook app and gets "Package files were not signed correctly" when they try?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Updated fine yesterday. Did you move it to /system by any chance?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tronmech:
You may want to check to see if you have any corrupt pics on your sd card. I did, and they sent mediaserver right to the funny farm. Saved the pics to my pc, wiped them off the sd card, and mediaserver became happy again. Give it a shot.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
Quite the opposite for me Vlad. Its been the best combination of everything I've tried....and I've tried many. Just curious, did you wipe the Dalvik after you replaced the ril's?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] schaggo:
There is so much wrong and sheet and FUD in this thread in the last couple days, I really do get annoyed reading through all of it. But I have to or I'll possibly miss a fix which gets posted in between all the mess. Let's start:

My stock radio - as with everyone else NOT having bought a G2 - is a pure and pure Sense radio. Not all Visions sold are G2, you must know. So don't use a Sense readio and don't flash radios. Kinda hopeless if you have a Sense radio as stock.

Which brings me on to:

So the guy which MAKES the ROM uses a Sense radio? Uhuuh... Makes me wonder.

So, radios done, let's look at the lib's discussion:

Ppl might remember: I used to have stupidly insane battery drain on CM7 since I suspect the change from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3. So much changed around that time, I just can't pinpoint it down to either a) the ROM, b) the radio or c) the lib files.

Interesting fact: I used GingerVillain: battery perfectly ok. I used CM7#21: battery drain. I played around with some radios and libs: battery drain. I out of curiosity - because it's not included in CM7 but it is in other ROMS - put libreference-ril.so in my /system: same build, nothing changed apart from that lib: drain mostly gone. At least when the phone is on standby. So I wonder, do the lib's respectively exchanging them, really not anything, something or everything? I wonder, just wonder...

So, as I just explained...

...while I used to believe it is the radio, I now believe it's something in CM7. I'm still experimenting, but I added the lib yesterday, had around 80% and didn't charge the phone on purpose for the last 24h. I hooked it up after about 20-22h with battery at 19%. So that's about 60% in a day. Still, same build, same setup, I only added that certain libreference-ril.so, that's all.

So there we are. No one or at least most of the ppl participating or at least posting/shouting/babbling in here, so it seems, have any clue what they are babbling about. Like I started this post with, it's mostly sheet and FUD and repetition page after page after page. Is there really no way to bring some structure into things?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] .A.J.:
I am also in the area and am using the .27 radio with the matching ril's and the combination has worked well for me. I did wipe the Dalvik and only replaced the two existing ril files (libhtc_ril.so and libril.so). I did not add the libreference-ril.so file as I did not see one already in my phone. Also, I did not replace the bcm4329.ko file.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] infamousjax:
What do you mean exactly?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Crey23:
Vlad, if you recall I am also in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale....I had the same experience with .27. I was able to reach 1.2 ~1.4 on occasion, but mostly under 1. I did experience better UL speeds, but didn't really need it.

I do have to say that I did the ril change after a few weeks of slow internet. Thinking that it would help, I updated rils, and tried it for another week, and still nothing. I reverted to .26, and found it to be just as strong as .27, maybe stronger (signal), but I went back to 2.2 Avg DL speeds.

Now mu issue is UL does not go greater than .5 or so. I did change the htcganril (I think) file, which the ril.zop file does not address. If you have the original, I would appreciate a copy to see if my UL speeds improve.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kcchen:
MFG. So you're not having this issue... and you're not running #22 according to your sig. Lots of help you are...

In the last 30 pages of GPS complaints, I haven't seen the issue I'm experiencing... And I've not experienced ths issue in the last few nightly builds. I guarantee I've read a lot more than you in the 5+ years I've been a member of this great site.

You have a fix / cause? If not, or don't have the time to explain, then go back to complaining about how the ICC is running through your backyard. Crap comments like those don't belong on a development site.

You're the reason people on this site lurk... nothing constructive, don't comment. Keep the noise down.

Sorry for the vent.... stepping off the soap box.

Update: Re-flashing did the trick. FWIW, #22 runs well. The build is fast, seems easy on the battery (wi-fi and BT all day) and no GPS issues... Bell D-Z on AT&T network.
