How do I go about getting the stock launcher? Or are there some other launchers that you reccomend?

Sent with my CM7 G2 using XDA tansparent app.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Untouchab1e:
I personally recommend using Launcher Pro. So much more responsive than ADW. To be honest, I would prefer if CyanogenMOD came without a custom launcher, then we could just pick our desired one from the market..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Novek:
I like the ADW EX over LPP... I've bought both, but still fancy AEX... Quick, smooth and very customizable :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :

I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this, but I'm curious as to what kernel has been giving you all the best battery life with rc 1? Any feedback?

Damn GPS has been perfect for me, in fact on 39 outside, i turned on GPS status and get 13/13 connects in about 5 seconds flat
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
Gps was good for me too on 39, I flashed 40 this morning and gps is still working great, get a lock in about 5 sec, so what ever they changed didn't affect my gps, hopefully it help everyone else who was having issues with their gps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wayde187:
Ok thanks for the recommendations. I was wanting to try ADW EX but I only use my tmobile account to buy apps and they don't permit anything that is marked with foreign currency. Guess I will just have to add a credit card. I used launcher pro in the past, maybe I will give it another try.

Def recommend trying out Launcher Pro before buying ADW EX.

I'm on #40 now and happy to see that my commits are working alright
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] roslan_nazri:
so how to replace those launcher pro with adw launcher? i saw some people use stock launcher and they have the zip can be flash in recovery to replace adw laucher? im really not good to see the lag of adw launcher and still to set it extra light to get smooth
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] apollostees:
Not sure if this is want you want but:

Just download launcher pro from the market.

If you use titanium back up all you have to do to uninstall ADW is select it,

and uninstall it. There is even a free version of this app on the market.

reboot your phone and it will revert to launcher pro since ADW will be gone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] apollostees:
Sorry dude I stepped away. All those other suggestion are great.

But if you look up steve lin in the market he has a totally stock launcher for free.

Also his donate version for $0.99 has landscape rotation, it's in US currency.

I have both extracted the original from a NS rom and used this one and saw no noticable differences other than Steve's being faster to install.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
I thought I was gonna stick with RC1 for awhile but I get too tempted when I see a new Nightly released.

I definitely prefer the stock Gingerbread launcher (one from Nexus S development section that replaces ADW launcher with a Nexus S Gingerbread Launcher) over ADW or LauncherPro, will be flashing it on every build.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cyanogen:
PLEASE DON'T DO THIS.

We modify stuff in framework-res on an almost daily basis and information like this is going to screw up a lot of peoples phones. I fixed the code so that it can be off by default and you can turn it on in CMParts. I'll put a patch up in a bit.

EDIT: Patch is in, toggles in CMParts on the next build will work. The animations are disabled by default. Don't be surprised when you get a call and you can't turn the screen on, though.

I am still somewhat of a newb to all this. I have tried flashing the rom using rom manager. I tried flashing the recovery.img to no avail. Is there a step by step guide on how to install cm7 on the g2. I am very confused. I have read every page on here and feel more confused than I did when I first started. Can someone please help me?!?!?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Hot_Hands:
Yes. The wi-fi calling is just a bug in #3. But any weird closes or partial wake issues for me on a new rom or nandroid restore have been remedied by fixing permissions in ROM Manager or recovery.

I ment in the text file, but I removed it now thanks to the update from Cyanogen himself... Thanks for your hard work.

I figured the framework-res.apk got quite a few updates regurarly, but thought the backuptool would simplify the steps provided in the FAQ in #2 post for people who would follow that direction anyway.

Again thanks!

i mean it might just be the towers, but i mean it started happening the sencond i booted ginger. is weird, in speed test it shown downloads speeds of over 4mbps but is like it takes time to get it working and then it picks up to normal speeds, is just weird, i don't know how to explain it.:confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cyanogen:
Don't put anything we already ship with the ROM in that file. You are just asking for **** to break when resource ids are changed around (which happens any time you change internal resources).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Hot_Hands:
Seriously. Backing up files on a rom that's updated sometimes 2-3 times nightly is just asking for trouble.

Okidoki... I just have my keymap and fonts there ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
Try the following method:

First

fastboot erase recovery

erase your old recovery.

Next

"

fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery.img file>

You will see some text about sending the file and flashing successfully.

Then type

fastboot erase system -w

This will erase your system and some personal setting so that you can flash with a clean install.

Next on the fastboot screen press the power button to go to the bootloader screen.

Wait for it to load and then press down on the volume down button once and select recovery then press the power button"

Then reflash your rom.

This is how I flashed my Gingerbread Build

So what's meant by "In progress of being added?" Still glitchy? Not built yet? Being worked on?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wileykat:
soon my friend.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] olearyp:
It will be in the nightlies if Chris Soyars pulls the new proprietary files onto the buildbot. Same goes for people building from source; unless they refresh the proprietaries it won't go in. The Makefiles don't refer to it so it shouldn't cause the build to break if it's missing.

I'm really curious how this will work out. I've got ideas but nothing definite yet. We'll see if it's a problem; I think it depends on what the Installer is looking for when it prevents you from installing on devices which have stock Swype.

Next nightly. (Go Jackets, to Hell with Georgia.)

Gps is working now on #40....I was one of the few that couldnt get gps to work on the RC....Now i have another problem...After i lock in Gps, then turn it off...the gps icon will not dissapear from the taskbar!

Edit: Also canoont get into pershoots site to get the latest kernel....anyone else?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ajk1311:
Idk why but scrolling seems so laggy on cm7. Noticed it with recent nightlies and rc1. Is anyone else seeing this or has changed a setting or two to make it smoother?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] philosophics:
I like how I comment about rc1 being a little laggy everywhere until I flashed pershoots 021611 kernel and it completely gets ignored.

I know, its the face...

Also, ADW was added into CM cause WE, the community, wanted it. Now during nightlies, people are complaining that it lags or doesn't work well. IT'S A NIGHTLY! The launchers haven't been optimized yet for gingerbread. Anderwebs has even said so. Stop! If you can't deal with the lag issues with the launcher then stay on stable CM6 until stable 7 comes out.

3 pages worth of "its laggy" when you could have actually read solutions before posting about your device lagging. If you don't have a solution or your not bringing up a problem no one else has mentioned, please don't post. 3000+ posts now due to un-needed blah everywhere...

ADW EX FTW!

Not laggy @ all.

Sent from my G2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] The Solutor:
Come on !!!

ADW is laggy, on CM7 and not, on Vision as on any other Android phone.

And is purposely laggy, in fact ADW EX is not.

So there's nothing to do with the ROM beeing nightly alpha or beta, ADW is the Cyano's choice, someone will agree with that choice, someone doesn't.

But arguing about the lack of ROM optimization is pointles.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pickx:
Actually, I didn't ignore your post. In fact, I went ahead and flashed 021611 just to see if it'll make a noticeable difference - it didn't.

And the lag I'm complaining about has nothing to do with 3rd party launchers - I know these aren't optimized yet. I'm experiencing jerkiness while scrolling lists, heavier lag while scrolling web sites that I often visit (compared to Froyo), slower responses when selecting things in Settings.apk or when launching an application and even occasional slowdowns in FPSE which afaik is GPU accelerated and shouldn't slam the CPU too hard... Oh, and stock Gingerbread launcher ain't smooth either.

Unless I overclock to around 1.5 GHz, at which point 99% of the jerkiness is suddenly gone :rolleyes: but of course the wakeup bug makes it impractical to OC over 1.1 GHz
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
The "wake up bug" only happens when you use the screen on/off animations. Technically, it's the animations that cause the bug, not the overclocking.

From the hundreds of posts I've read in the multiple CM7 threads, people seem to care more about the animations than they do about the ability to overclock, which is one of biggest advantages that this phone has over other devices.

Personally, I like having a 1.5 GHz max-clock more than fancy animations when the screen turns on and off, but to each his own.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
I have both. I use CPU Boost, available free from the market to set ondemand to 1516 max and 245 min with a screen off profile of 806 max and 245 min, and the phone wakes for me without a problem, even with the screen off / screen on animations working.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] philosophics:
Everyone's file structure, # of installed apps, ways of flashing are different. That is completely obvious. Every vision runs/performs differently.

My vision runs ADW EX with almost everything enabled. The hidden dockbar is disabled because I find it redundant and it seems to make the launcher run a little better. Swipe up/down gestures have been disabled as well. Yes, ADW is faster in froyo than in gingerbread, and that's why anderwebs has stated that there are plenty of bugs that still need to be ironed out. You can read his entries about how many there are but I digress from the subject...

Just recently, I decided to change my cpu speeds to 1075 max, 245 min ondemand with pershoots kernel. Performance actually increased for me, even with screen on/off animation enabled but it might not for everyone else.

I know this because I did the same thing with a friends vision and it was experiencing most common bugs described in this thread over and over again. But if I changed it's cpu speed to default settings, there be no problems at all.

And both my vision along with my friends, was purchased on the same day.

There's 217 installed apps on me vision maintained by titanium backup and RC1 was the only cm7 that has givin me any problems.

This doesn't change the fact that 3 pages had to be sifted through because people keep posting the same thing. Searching is not hard and not posting useless and/or already known facts is easier. If someone has asked a question and a solution hasn't been givin yet, wait for one to be givin before you post the same re-worded material, please!

Not bein selfish or rude here, more individuals around here don't want to read it all and the biggest problem is having the solutions buried in the garbage (no offense).

Wow, long post. I apologize...

Agree with your post....i see the same questions over and over in this thread....

Edit: #40 with Pershoots latest is working great..No issues as of yet, also running ADW ex....

Edit #2.....Earlier i reported the gps icon being stuck in the top task bar....

Seems when i flashed the stock gb launcher from the nexus s thread this would happen....Using Adw ex seems to have resolved the issue...Not sure if thats what actaully was causing it but i thought id throw out my 2 cents...

Those blaming the CPU are incorrect...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsalate:
Just flash #40 on top of RC and I have evrything working. I have been checking everything and no bugs as of yet and its been a couple of hours.

I'm curious after flashing are those who are reporting bugs, let their phone sit for about 10 minutes and then do a reboot. I do this after every flash and never have any bug. The one I did have was the rotary which I think was a coding error.

Nice work team on this rom!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
You don't even have to reboot or uninstall ADW. Just install Launcher Pro and hit the home button, you should then be prompted to choose which app you want to use for the "launcher" action.

If not, go into manage applications, click on ADW and uncheck the "use as default program". Then hit home and you will see the prompt explained above. You can reverse these actions to revert back to ADW. This way you don't have to uninstall ADW and lose your settings, etc.

Thank you for this. I can't believe I didn't notice this, ugh :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
No need to apologize. People need to read, search, read. This thread is so redundant it's ridiculous. Every nightly there is a launcher comparison, battery impression discussion, and half the bugs are either due to users' negligence...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
Sorry but no. The fact that the issue only occurs while overclocked does not mean that the overclocking is to blame. Cyanogen has himself stated that it's an issue that's only present when the screen on/off animations are active. Originally, he left the animations disabled due to this problem, but so many people complained (because fancy animations mean more to them than performance) that he added them back as an option for those who want them, with the explicit warning that the screen will likely not turn on from time to time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Primatage is correct. If you have screen wake issues when not using screen on/off animations, even if overclocked, then you are doing something wrong.

I have the screen animations disable since they seem like just a gimmick to me. My phone is OC to 1209 MHz Interactive (I have no idea why anyone would even want to go higher than that, other than for emulators) and I have no wake issues, no homescreen lag, and no menu scrolling lag.

I think half the people here just have no idea what they're talking about. Not necessarily you, jojo_16, just an observation in general.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gee one:

I've been flashing nightly's since RC0 and I haven't any of the problems that people are encountering. I suspect it's either bad flashes/low batteries or other sorts of user errors.

I just flash the ROM, no wiping, no cache clearing, no read/write, no muss, no fuss. I do backup every once in a while :)

In full disclosure, I do run the ROM through a script to mod it to my taste- remove a few apps, add a few ringtones, a dash of salt, a pinch of pepper.

It's great that we can help each other as a forum and a community, but I do get a little jaded after seeing the same questions each night.

Off topic: I noticed that when I charge my phone while it's off that it goes into recovery. What's the ETA to get this fixed? ;)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merdely:
I have mine set to OnDemand and have the animations turned off too and I see no wake issues, homescreen lag, or scrolling lag. The only time the launch is sluggish for me is the first time I press it after a reboot. In my mind, that's kind of expected and OK.

The ONLY issue I see with #40 is the record video horizontally, can't view vertically issue that's been reported by others.

CM7 FTW
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noodles2224:
Its already been fixed. Go to the recovery thread and you'll find a modded version of the latest that even works with froyo and ginger
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ctraywick1:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but to my knoledge the newest clockwork doesn't fix the power off glitch. Koush needs the source to be released by HTC to fix it. New clockwoork only fixes froyo gingerbread compatability issues for backup and restore purposes

And to answer the question yes that's absolutely normal for the phone to enter recovry if you power down and plug in

*I'm just sayin...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nivlac978:
Will we be able to really overclock our phones and also have the screen on off animations goin at the same time any time soon?

I do appreciate the helpfulness- that's the kinda stuff that makes XDA a great place.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PJcastaldo:
While i totally understand what you are getting at, i have the animations turned on with OC on my wifes G2 and it had wake issues, dropped the OC to under 900mhz and wake issues went away, totally, tested for multiple days. Turned the OC back up to 1.2 with screen animations on and boom wake lag returned. So then i left the OC and turned the screen animations off.. and boom no lag.

So in your words.. Sorry but no..

overclock + screen animations = wake lag.. bottom line.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] philosophics:
For now. 1075max 245min ondemand pershoot kernel setCPU screen on/off animations enabled. With a 368max 245min screen off profile. No lag at all but soon the timing issues will be dealt with so we can oc higher with on/off animations enabled...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Yes, but it's the screen animations that do it. You said it yourself: you left it OC and turned off the screen animations and no screen wake lag...

Screen animations are the problem. They don't play nice with OC. Yes it seems to only happen when you are OC, but it's the animations' fault.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PJcastaldo:
No it is not, because i also stated with animations on and oc off there was also no lag.. The real answer is OC over 1g ish + screen animations = wake lag..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Lol you guys are saying the same thing but one is blaming the overclocking and the other animations...

The 2 are incompatible at present time... I personally consider the animations the culprit because (i could be wrong, but from what i remember reading somewhere) overclocking and animations create a race condition, which is basically due to code in the animations. Overclocking does not interfere with any other function but the animations on this ROM. Had OC been at fault (which is at kernel level) then all ROMs would be adversely affected...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thrice43:
Trackpad Sensitivity

Whats up with the trackpad/scrollpad being insensitive? I'm surprised nobody has mentioned anything about it. Is it because of vision's drivers being different from Froyo's and the fact that T-mobile has yet to release an official ota?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Yeah, because screen animations don't play nice with OC. But like I said it's no the OC's fault, it's the screen lag's fault.

I really don't wanna argue this with you. I know I'm right. Cyanogen himself said it was the screen animations that caused it. You wanna take it up with the man himself and tell him he's wrong? I'm sure if you know it's the OC's fault then you must know how to fix it... :rolleyes:

Exactly! It's a timing/race condition. PJcastaldo has no idea WTF he's talking about.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theinternet1980:
Not sure if it was in this thread, or in the crackflasher's nightly thread...but turning off screen auto-brightness + setting brightness above 50% = no wake lag with OC + animations.

I'm OC'd to 1.4 right now, and the screen wakes every single time without issue, setup like this.
