I must say, I have been on cm7 nightlys for who knows how long...during the break we had I tryed some sense roms, the stock ota rooted...and these are by far the fastest and most reliable thanks cyanogen and team....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Abaddon:
in case someone missed it

explanation from Keyan Mobli :)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
It's actually from Keyan Mobli...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
Is there a way for me to stop cm7 from identifying my phone as a T-Mobile phone? I hate the new market and it auto updates because of this
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
I'm seem to be having an issue, of sorts. When I try using the desktop youtube site on my phone, set to 720p, my video is messed up. At times, its just black, and there are massive video errors, artifacts and all. Sound seems okay.

Using the stock kernel with Nightly #172 on the DZ Hboot ( I have a G2, but wanted to try out Sense 3.0 ). Phone's overclocked to 1.2Ghz. I installed the V6 Supercharger script this morning, but this issue was present before then.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
The build.prop identifies the phone as a HTC Vision, not as a T-Mobile G2.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SomEngangVar:
I get this too. We get the little T-Mobile suggested apps shortcut on the apps homepage.

I'm starting to hate the new market. Ever since I've had it I've been missing apps and updates. I have 147-ish apps installed but my market always hovers between 119-111. It's annoying. I miss updates for Facebook, Flash and even Maps. Like right now Appbrain is telling me I have six apps that have updates in the market but I can't install them through the market or Appbrain. This still happens after superwipes too. Nothing that I've tried to fix it works.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
^ Tried clearing market data, dalvik cache, cache ( from recovery ) in that order?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DJMartini:
I have the same market problem to. It sucks because flash, maps and other important apps

I use won't update too!

Yes, I've cleared data whiped cache etc.

Edit: After researching this more, I do believe this is an issue with the build.prop because on Android market it says,

"T-Mobile HTC HTC Vision

This item is not compatible with your device."

Does anyone know what it should be to fix this? I've got over 20+ apps that need updates after verifying this with AppBrian market.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Titanium backup market doctor? That has always fixed EVERYTHING for me :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
New market is very buggy right now, may not be a cm problem. Try installing the (new)new market that's just coming out (that gives pin unlock purchasing) and see if they ironed anything out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
That's the one that my phone keeps auto updating to. It thinks I have a t mobile phone
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
This is in the build.prop.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Having crack flash withdraws. Need another nightly pronto!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ernestnwanu:
There seems to be no escaping the new market for me. I've even tried another rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Ya I went through the same thing. There is no way to stop the upgrade anyway anyhow. So just learn to like it like I did.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
I was able to keep old market when I ran virtuous 2.0, as soon as I restore my CM7 backup the new market shows up. And I hate it. It's far too slow
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
I removed these three lines from the build.prop and the T-Mobile button is now gone, but the market still auto-updated. Meh

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nshih422:
I found a way to stop the update but it requires Titanium Backup Pro.

First find a guide to downgrade the market to the old version. Using Ti Backup go in and Freeze Market Updater 1.0

Make sure you freeze and don't uninstall. Uninstalling will cause problems.

That's it I've had the old market for a week now without an update it used to be a few minutes before I would get the update before.

Hope this helps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ernestnwanu:
I'll try this once it gives me issues. Right now I'll just wait and see if I can manage this, but thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nshih422:
No problem. I didn't mind the new market except for the searching for apps being so slow. Also, a lot of other fuctions were much slower than the old market. Then this idea popped in my head and I tried it and it worked for me so I figured I would share it. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nemiroG1:
Still having issues with a clean wipe and SuperWipeG2+, and then installing N177 + GAPPS. I tried several different times, combinations, GAPPS (march and June), kernels (Pershoot), etc, and always get the same results.

Go to Market, download an app, and maybe it will install, but probably 75% of the time, I get a "Package File Is Invalid." error message. If I jump back to my older Nandroid backup, which is now moved up to N177, it works fine. Wipe the slate clean, reinstall N177 and GAPPS only, and bam! Market issues.

Tried wiping cache, Dalvik cache, etc. If I manually install the .apk, it goes right on. From Market, the issues come up. Tried installing OTA (2G), and via Wifi, same result.

Again, go back to a version that I haven't wiped in months, and keep upgrading the nightlies, and no issues with Market. This only pops up on a clean wipe. Very odd!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ihateusernames:
I thought about doing this. Wasn't sure of the outcome and didn't have time to fix any issues it may cause.

Thanks for being the guinea pig.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
Sent my phone for repair with 160, got it back today. Did a nandroid restore and then upgraded to 177. Everything smooth, as usual :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nshih422:
I was guinea pigging myself as I messed up my phone a few times before I came up with that idea. Thanks to this community and CWM and nandroid though it saved me a lot of hassle :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Abaddon:
Anyone can help me here, yes my market auto updates by itself. Its fine w/ me but the things is FC after loading thd main home page on market :(

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Anyone know how to update the ROM when you don't have an SD card? I'm not even sure it's possible but I need to satiate my crack flashing addiction...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yogi2010:
I've never done it, but I'm pretty sure you can flash it with your computer using the Fastboot tool in ADB. but then again, this might only be if you have compiled the ROM from source yourself. not sure exactly...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Fastboot won't take .zip roms as far as I know; it would have to be in a .img format to be flashed from there. But even still I'm not sure it could be flashed without being on an SD card.

As it is, I can push the .zip to the phone via ADB, but I don't think it can be flashed from internal memory.

I think I just need a new phone... Hercules?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yogi2010:
yeah, CM7 might require an sdcard to flash it. I was thinking of AOSP, where when you compile it, it gives you the various parts of the ROM to flash in Fastboot, like your system image, boot image, etc. not sure if CM7 does that when you compile it, I haven't done it in a while, and I'm no expert at all, lol. good luck!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] XxFerociouS:
Hi I've been using The Nightly from Aug 5th and I've had very good battery life and great speed with the Pershoot Kernal

But lately my standby battery life is terrible! I would go to sleep with my phone on 100% and I would wake up to it on 28% ! Its never been that bad!

Can anyone help me solve this problem please?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gee one:
Wasn't there a flash_image tool that would flash from the terminal?

I've seen a "fastboot flash zip some.zip" command floating around... it just might work, or it might brick your phone... that's what makes it so exciting...

Maybe you could kick ol' school and mount /sdcard to /data/local and put the zip there?

Just some ideas... if you really gotta flash...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
If its possible to restore a nandroid via fastboot or adb I suppose someone could send you the files from a nandroid from a fresh install before any personal data was entered. I'll do a nandroid of my current installation, do a full wipe, flash a nightly along with gapps and immediately create a new nandroid and you can push that to your phone. Let me know if you think that will work...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Did you sign out of gtalk and back in like I asked you several pages back?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
It's alright dude don't worry about it. I really don't wanna risk bricking or anything close to it at this point... I don't have enough for a new phone and I need this one for work and stuff.

Thanks for the offer, though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
I hear ya. If you find out in the future that it can work let me know...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Are you on T-Mobile and did this start a few weeks back?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gee one:
Odd that you mention that- A while ago, I thought this would be possible, but the HTC version of fastboot did not allow this. I could flash nandroid images to my G1, but not my G2.

Flash forward a few months, and I discovered that the fastboot that gets built with the CM source WILL flash nandroid images. Go figure... It gets built in out/target/host/tools or something like that. There are also a few other tools in there that will provide hours of entertainment.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yogi2010:
is there something going on with Tmo that is draining battery? my battery life has been down for a couple months now, maybe a bit better in the past few weeks, but was pretty bad for a while. it's been pretty decent on my Sidekick 4G, however.

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
What does being on T-mobile have to do with his battery drain that started randomly a few weeks back?

Some posts just make me wonder man..

If anything I would say its some app or game that you installed around that time that keeps a service running in the BG and chews up battery. That is just my guess (from 3 or so years of android experience)....you can check all this with applications/running services and spare parts/battery usage history.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Maybe your battery is just getting old/worn? They don't stay perfect forever.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lowlife546:
actually it might have to do with tmobiles towers. theres others mentioning the problem here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1195633&page=2

i was having some massive battery drain all of a sudden a few weeks ago and almost got a new battery. instead when i switched it to 2g only the drain went away. now its back to normal again on 4g
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Can anyone help me with this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
The problem is more than likely the youtube app. Read the comments in the market about the app. Many people are having problems with it. I uninstalled it a while ago and just made a shortcut on my homescreen to the youtube mobile website.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
T-Mobile users (and not just on this device) are experiencing severe battery drain that started a few weeks back. Many think they made a network change that is causing devices to scan for the network more. T-Mobile has been looking into it for the last two weeks since its effecting such a broad range of their Android devices.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
It was widely reported that HTC phones on Tmobile were experiencing abnormal battery drain as of a few weeks ago...man.

Lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
I am aware of the report that surfaced about a month ago talking about T-mobile's 4g network causing drain. For one thing, that all could have been someone speculating...with no factual information from T-mobile at all.

Guess it is just easier to blame it on the satellites, then to investigate what is actually causing it. Enjoy that 2g =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wilnotdie:
If I understand correctly, then the answer is our hardware. Our phones aren't meant to run native flash videos in 720p. It will try and product results like you've seen, but it just doesn't have the power/resources to handle it.

I've never gotten anything above 480 to play smoothly while on the desktop site.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
erm u mean towers..

and yes there can be issues without the carrier knowing, everytime we get a wicked lightning storm our data signals go haywire for about a week. theres built in safeguards on the towers that prevent them from frying among other things that could go haywire and cause many issues.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
correct.. we all gotta update soon to those dual-core beasts coming out.. I deciding between SGSII or Nexus Prime/3 in Q4.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KarlosTheJackal:
Ill wait till the G3 comes out ;-)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
No news on that yet.. The G2 came out in Sept/Oct right?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
It also came out 2 years after the G1. So it could be another year if a G3 is produced
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kilroy672:
Today was the second time since my G2 has been rooted and I flashed nightly 175 that my screen went all black. I had to do the pull battery out then power back on thing. My first G2 did the samething, but worse, so I had to get it exchanged. But anyways, my quesion is why does it keep doing this? Does it have anything to do with the screen-on or off animation? I heard somwhere to avoid that turn off animation. Is that true? Anyone know?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Do you realize 90% of the population is still on junk? Our phones to most people are a dream. In this tiny community at xda our phones are so called outdated. In the real world, they are still considered cutting edge by most people.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
I have no problems with the app. HQ runs fine. Not sure if its HD or not :S. Definitely doesn't look it.

How is it that other phones with similar hardware can do 720p in the browser :S. And besides, our phones will do 720p @ 5mbps or less just fine from the sdcard in MoboPlayer. Example ( or rather, the last one I tested ) - Polarityyy 2k9 CSS frag movie. Runs perfectly on my phone.

Also, the SoC specs state that the phone is capable of 720p recording and playback, so there's no reason as to why it can't do youtube flash/html5 at 720p.

I'm hoping we have no issues like this with ICS.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] antinerd:
Dude...I'm so glad you said that! I had the same thing last night. First time I ever say this happen, and I've had this phone since early spring. I'm on nightly #177. I thought that I must have accidentally powered it off, set it down too hard, or something. But now, I'm thinking that there may be something wrong with the recent nightlies.

I too had to do a battery pull to resurrect my G2. Pressing the power button did nothing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
i used to get this if i accidentally had the camera app open and turned the screen off. 9 times out of 10 by doing it i could never get the screen back, always resulted in a batt pull. dunno if this could possibly be it... but its the only time ive encountered it.

also whoever mentioned deleting the t mobile references in the build.prop is a genius...all my apps updated after doing so :) and no more t mobile tab in market! awesome!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wilnotdie:
Yes there is a way. Search for the cwm that amazinglarry made. It does exactly what you want. I'm not at a computer, but I'm sure you can find it.

Goodluck!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Blades:
Create a 256MB (or more) sdcard.img file on your data partition.. format it as vfat.. mount it as loop device.. put the zip file on loop device.. reboot into recovery. Mount the data partiton. From your computer, get an adb shell to the phone. Mount the img file as a loop device to /sdcard.. install zip from sdcard. I don't really know if it actually has to be fat32 fs.. You could try mkfs.ext2 first

In other words.. (from the beginning)

Watch out.. it seems that cm retains the crappy /bin/toolbox symlinks for some important utils (like dd)

busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/local/sdcard.img bs=1M count=256

busybox losetup /dev/block/loop4 /data/local/sdcard.img

^pay attention to mounted loop devices if you DO have a sdcard and just want to test this out. Especially if you have apps 'moved' to sdcard. /dev/block/dm-7 is also /dev/block/loop7

newfs_msdos -f /dev/block/loop4

mkdir /data/local/fakesdmnt

mount /dev/block/loop4 /data/local/fakesdmnt

cp /path/to/zip/file /data/local/fakesdmnt/

^actually, you'd probably just push it from computer unless cp'ing from cifs partition

rm -r /data/dalvik-cache

rm -r /data/*/cache

reboot recovery

Once in recovery mount data partition.. then from adb terminal/shell:

mount /data/local/sdcard.img /sdcard -o loop

ls /sdcard/

^only to verify the zip is in there.. maybe a md5sum for extra safety.

Install zip from sdcard...don't be an idiot and make a backup - feels weird writing that but given that the img file is on your data part... that.. just won't work..

This is only a theory. I'm interested to try it out myself.. you could also try using a ram disk/tmpfs and mounting it to /sdcard.. you could possibly use the cache partition mounted to /sdcard with the zip pushed temporarily..

edit: Yeah that worked. 160MB ext2 img file on my data partition, mounted as a loop device to /sdcard in recovery. Could probably have it on the cache partition and possibly tmpfs.. nice.

tmpfs would be nice and quick.. once in recovery...

mount -t tmpfs -o size=128m tmpfs /sdcard

Then push the zip file to the 'sdcard' and flash.. haven't tested yet.. but should work.

Random PHone Poweroff

Alright, I've asked here before and someone told me to try and mess with the scaling setting but alas, I still get the random power off. I have tried all governors on both the stock cm kernel and pershoot's yet I still, from time to time, pull my phone out of my pocket and it is off. I am clocked at 368-1113mhz. Anyone have any suggestions to eliminate the random shut downs?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ryandaneri:
My wife had this problem (taking it out of her pocket or purse and it bieng shut off) and we sent out the phone out and got a new one..it still had the same problem....i found it was her battery losing contact with the connectors. So i put a little piece of paper to wedge the battery in snug and all is well now..don't know if it will help but its a suggesion.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] csolanol:
@ryandaneri:

Try switching off gps and logout from latitude if you use it. Reboot and don't switch on gps. Stay that way using your phone and test it. If you need to use gps turn it on and when you finish using it switch it off again and reboot.

I haven't had the problem since i use this method.

As i had this problem twice too, so i put some paper in my phone too.

Will report back if it worked. But can you specify where you put that paper?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tak.japan:
I'm also experiencing same issues... hope this gets fixed soon.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ryandaneri:
Sure. I put it on the top of the battery (oppisite end of where the batt connects to the phone)in between the housing and the battery...I suggest to put it on the other side where you sim card is NOT...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
So... who should we contact to deal with the t-mobile references in the build.prop file? I really don't want to have to edit it every time I flash a nightly. I tried tweeting to Cyanogen but I had no response
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Blades:
I wrote a script that downloads the nightly, adds certain files to the system dir (like unrar, aria2c) - removes certain files too.. and finally patches the build.prop with pre-chosen hspa values and lcd.density... just do a diff between a modded build.prop and its original.. (ie generate patch).. apply that patch in a script that runs post-download.. mine is called getcmnight...

./getcmnight vision

Enter build #:

and then it downloads, unzips,, patches, rezips.. and tada.. my own personalized cm-nightlies.zip - complete with gapps integrated (shhhh).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] philosophics:
Could you share a script that makes the appropriate changes to build.prop? That would help a lot...

Sent from me CM7 Nightly HTC Vision using XDA App that needs to show signatures
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gtmaster303:
It's quite impressive how the GM build of gingerbread is nearly 45mb less than the stock tmobile build of gingerbread (135mb vs 90mb). They are both vanilla too.

I can't blame CM for being very stable on this phone. The team probably takes a lot from the stock build. I was always having problems with CM 7 on my HTC Slide, which never had an official GB release. go figure...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
That's because if you actually look at the stock build, there is still a lot of Sense under there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
Ok, you got me all excited! So where is it? The script?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
Oh man! Now with this new upgrade xda app, we can now start thanking folks! And a whole lot more! Man, I sure do love tech!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
you could share that with the rest of us ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
I use this script in 'gscripts' from the market to uninstall the T-Mobile wifi calling, every morning when I flash a new nightly through rom manager (premium version).

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

rm -f /system/app/GanOptimizer.apk

rm -f /system/app/MS-HTCVISION-KNT20-02-A0-GB.apk

rm -f /system/lib/libkineto.so

reboot

I wish to add a line or two to clear the cash also. I still have to manually do it through CWM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
I freeze wifi calling along with others and they stay frozen even through nightly upgrades...great feature.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] IharpI:
What do u mean with freezing?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Using the program 'Titanium Backup' from the Market there's a button called 'freeze'. It's basically the same as uninstalling (the app no longer works) except the app itself is preserved. Just makes it dormant so-to-speak.
