It's available. The lockscreen rings were great in the Kang I tried.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
The lockscreen rings can only have one custom app? In the YouTube video, it showed the ability to have 4. Is there a setting that I did not see?

Edit: I found it. Disregard this post.

has the camera layout/background been changed? or am i the only one experiencing this?

Edit: here's the commit where i think that made the camera background black. http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,7609. wish it wasn't changed
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SteveRiley:
Well, I didn't check mount before I installed 4EXT. However, I did notice that after I installed it, but before I rebooted into it, the menu option to print partition info showed /system, /data, and /cache all as EXT4. Then when I booted into the recovery and checked partition info, /data and /cache actually showed as EXT3. So maybe there is some discrepancy between what the partitions really are (EXT3) vs. what various tools report them as (EXT4).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xandermpls:
Ok so 3 of the 4 lines are ext4, the last line is ext3, how do I proceed to do just one? Or does it matter?

My "ultimate solution" to get fully functional GPS did involve a radio change and swapping gps.vision.so from a stock Sense ROM (in my case, using radio 10.04.03 and the gps.vision.so from 2.42.405.2-WWE Sense stock ROM); it takes a bit longer to get an initial fix, but I CAN confirm that this does work with a T-Mobile G2 and does NOT (at least for me) wreck MMS or actual phone/wifi usage.

The combo of a 10.04.xx radio and even the CM7 gps.vision.so does seem to be a bit more stable in my usage, but that's my own experience--everyone seems to have different tweaks they use.

(I've also heard from other testers that doing this with the 08.04.30 radio does *not* work--probably a bit too much separation between "stock" Gingerbread, that radio, and CM7's kernel--but that 10.04.12 (the Bell Canada radio) DOES work with the gps.vision.so from 10.04.03. I have a real feeling that, at least for GPS usage, newer radios are preferable and may be better behaved--annoying for T-Mo US users, but handy to know.)

I would like the new ring lockscreen if the unlock animation looked more fluid/less laggy.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
i agree... even in the video, it looked somewhat laggy:(

Is there a reason why rom manager is showing 3.0.2.4 as the latest recovery?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hlx187:
Maybe the cwm itself knows that this is the latest real bug-free version? :)

Version 5.0.2.6 has disappeared completly since yesterday's evening on my phone btw
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
I'm confused as to how some of you are have EXT3 patitions to begin with. Mine has always been EXT4 and have never touched it. That's just weird...

I seem to be unable to get any nightlies to work since 204 where I just get stuck on the HTC screen. All nightlies before that one still works fine.

What is wrong?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Are you upgrading through Rom crap Manager? Just curious if your doing this manually or not. The nightlies work fine as far as I know.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hamish909:
Not sure lol

I just hold down volume button before turn on phone, then go to Recovery and then it takes me to a screen that looks like this:

is this ROM crap Manager you are talking about?

I then install zip from sdcard, wipe Dalvik, wipe Cache and do a wipe data/factory reset as I always do, but anything 204 or beyond I just get that HTC boot screen stuck problem.

wtf?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] .A.J.:
No, he was likely talking about Rom manager (which I also don't recommend for changing ROMs). That is clockworkmod recovery, which is the better, more reliable way of changing ROMs.

First, you should be wiping cache/dalvik cache and performing the factory reset (if u want to. It's not usually necessary if coming from an earlier nightly) before installing the new ROM. Second, it seems to me that your problem is bad downloads. Try downloading again, preferably on a PC and then transfer it to your phone using your usb cable.

211 is working great for me so far. I'm liking the new Ring lockscreen option. It is definitely a more polished than it was in the Kang I installed to try it the other day.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nooge9:
Do a factory wipe first.

Install zip from sdcard should be your last step.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:
Rom Manager new update is available.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] turbo-omena:
You should update the CWM to version 3.0.2.4 or change CWM to 4EXT and see if that helps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] autom8r:
Holy crap! I just fixed my partitions to EXT4, as I had used superwipe G2 previously, and the phone is a speeeed demon now! I turned her up to 1.5ghz and turned out 2900 in Quadrant! For comparison, my buddies stock Samsung Galaxy S2 hits 3100 in Quadrant and it's dual core!

Can't believe the speed I am getting out of this ROM! Daily I use 1.2ghz and it blazes, what kind of scores are you guys getting? Cheers!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xandermpls:
Dang, tried installing latest nightly before updating clockwork recovery. Son of a bbbbbb

Bootloop cereal for breakfast, =)

http://zanderthezillionaire.biz
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Ed, that is really weird... I've used superwipe plenty of times and wiped manually afterwards just to be safe. I can't argue because a lot of people have the same strangeness. It is strange indeed and I guess I was just lucky. One good thing to come from this the meantion of that new recovery. It looks pretty cool! I'll have to try it right away ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
ext3 fs can be mounted as ext4, even though in reality they still behave like ext3. that's why when you type mount in terminal you see ext4, but in reality the fs is still ext3 (ext4 has forward compatibility). in recovery, the partitions are not mounted and they are seen for what they really are. checking fs type from android terminal is not the way to go.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xandermpls:
So should I just ditch clockwork then lol dang son

http://zanderthezillionaire.biz
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Critical Jeff:
yes, cwm never boots into recovery from Rom Manager as of late.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
Seriously guys, this is getting a little out of hand. This is not a recovery thread.

I also feel like this needs to be said: this new 4EXT Recovery is based off Koush's work (ClockworkMod Recovery) so be careful about saying clockwork blows, Koush is retarded, etc. Koush puts in a lot of hard work and even if you no longer like his recovery, you can at lest respect him as a developer that has done a lot for us. If CWM didn't exist, 4EXT wouldn't either.

Just sayin'
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dargocitfer:
Thank you for that explanation! I couldn't figure out why it would show one thing in Terminal, and another in the recovery! Which one to believe??? :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xandermpls:
Yes sorry I didn't mean anything like that, I respect koush and all people and devs didn't mean anything rude just confused.

Koush rolled back to 3.0.2.4 as the latest stable for Vision since v5 keeps hanging on the HTC screen.

What is purpose of the “ring” lock screen in the latest 211? I enabled it but it doesn’t do anything. What am I missing!? lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ultma75:
I get about 3200+ with ext4 and default kernel set to performance.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
What's you CPU settings? Also, hows your battery life?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ultma75:
Set it to performance, overclocked to 1.5ghz.... would upload a screen shot but keep getting unvalid image format. My daily is conservative 806mhz. Saves battery life but doesn't hurt performance too much
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
it is to resemble, IMO, the sense 3.0 lockscreen. you can put up to 4 apps, shortcuts, etc. to your lockscreen.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Probably because Quadrant is obsolete. It was last updated in January and even then it was obsolete.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tronmech:
Forgot to plug my phone in after a battery calibration. Now keep in mind that I normally get at most 16 hours of battery life.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
Impressive, just had a look at mine and noticed my android system was sitting at 86% :confused:

Gonna have to investigate that some more
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] micahman:
Can you tell me what theme your wifi and signal bar icons are from?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] autom8r:
I disagree, it still serves for a nice tool to benchmark, it doesn't matter if it is obsolete or not, I can base my runs off each other and get a relative understanding of any performance increases. Before, I ran 2600 in Quadrant, its now 2900 or more, nice 10% bump in speed.

Also, it is optimized for dual core, so, measuring Quadrants from one device to another is a nice way of comparing relative performance. What do you use for benchmarking? I've tried others and they don't seem to be as robust as Quadrant. Cheers
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
I agree... it still has some use. 2d and 3d scores are nice to know. plus, if you have a starting point of reference, it helps determine current scores of course. but there are better ones now but everyone still goes by quadrant and linpack. they are great scores to compare other to inspite of being somewhat outdated or mildly inaccurate.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
The overall score is really not okay since certain tweaks can inflate the score a lot. Even the Nexus One can achieve 3200 in Quadrant and it really doesn't mean a thing.

I suppose individual scores can be useful though in the way you specified. The GPU and CPU scores can be useful that is.

In line with this, the Vellamo benchmark is limited but is a more useful benchmark in many ways (especially if you use Dolphin HD or a browser that utilizes the built-in webkit).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Yeah you said it just how I would have said it. :)

FWIW I use Antutu benchmark. And even then I don't take the comparing across devices to seriously. If you want to use it to measure increases on your own device then that can serve some purpose.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hamish909:
OK Im fixed thx. Not sure if it was because I upgraded CWM or did the wipes in correct order.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] antinerd:
Are you using SetCPU as your over-clocker, or another application?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ultma75:
Should be built in cyanogenmod settings
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] autom8r:
Right you are, I was using the stock kernel with the CM7 performance settings, not SetCPU. I set the governor to Performance and rocked out a test after rebooting.

I only optimized nightly 211 by removing a bunch of the system/apps that I never use, this helps battery drain as well, FYI.

Cheers

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
Is the CM team going to bother with bumping up to 2.3.6? Last I heard was that it caused a few problems on the Nexus (Nexi?). I personally don't care, but it does contain "security improvements" or something.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] autom8r:
BTW, why is tmobile's WiFi calling app bundled with this? Lots of people don't have tmobile and this app is a needless hog and is relatively hard to remove/silence. I remove it using Root Explorer, but it FC loops and it's a ***** to stop.

Any reason this has to be in this ROM? Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tronmech:
It's there for the GW users who have T-Mobile. If the ROM didn't have it, I wouldn't be using it. I have no coverage ay home. So without it my phone is useless while I'm at home.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
Every time I flash a new nightly, I pull up gscripts (free from the market) and run this:

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

rm -f /system/app/DSPManager.apk

rm -f /system/app/BooksPhone.apk

rm -f /system/app/FileManager.apk

rm -f /system/app/GanOptimizer.apk

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

rm -f /system/lib/libkineto.so

reboot

This completely gets rid of WifiCalling, File Manager (who uses this when we have Root Explorer?), Google Books (come on, who really uses this?), and DSP Manager (another one that takes up space).

The DSP Manager is new to this uninstall script.

I run this after every flash, which reboots your phone also.

In gscripts you don't need the su, just check Superuser box.

Enjoy! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
In order to keep it from FCing you need to remove /system/lib/libkineto.so as well as the APK.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
You need to remove 3 files.

GanOptimizer.apk

MS-HTCVISION-KNT20-02-A0-GB.apk

libkineto.so

You'll immediately get a FC (don't worry) just reboot your phone.

Or just simply run the script two posts back after each nightly update.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
I wouldn't suggest removing ganoptimizer.apk! You'll have problems later... check tsubus thread. He removed it and everybody had some crazy stuff happen. Thank goodness I had already had the issue and alerted him right away... the other 2 are okay to remove though
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
Nah, it's ok. The problems arose when I removed the library for it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Oh yeah... it was libganril.so or something. I'd leave all the gan stuff alone though. That's just me...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] autom8r:
Go ahead and remove GanOptimizer, it is solely used to put WiFi in "high performance mode while making a wifi call". Google it, you will see that this .apk is only used during a wifi call and should not affect any settings or conditions outside of said calls.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Yeah, I know. I just looked back at the tsubus's thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1242480&page=3 ) and it was just the ganlib file that can't be removed. I'm just being silly, I guess. Besides, it doesn't take up much space... I do remove dsp manager (I use volume+ instead), car home(car dock v3 instead), and wifi calling apk and its lib (I have a tester cellfi from tmobile usa that works great).

I've found an interesting bug. Before the switch to source audio from HTC audio, the bluetooth in my car would connect to media (I have a Motorola Roadster speaker) but when I plug in an audio cable I have connected to the stereo it would play through the speakers. The only weird thing is when adjusting the volume on the phone, it would show Bluetooth Media volume. After the switch, now music will play through the speaker on the Bluetooth even though I have the cable connected. I have to uncheck Media in the Bluetooth settings to get it to work. Can anyone think of a way to do this. Basically just make it make the headphones take precedence of Media audio when plugged in.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:
I apologize if this is a wrong place but I’m not sure what causes my superuser app to act up. I recently updated the superuser app (I was prompted in the Market) and it no longer remembers my allowed settings. It doesn’t give me the option to check the “remember” setting either. So I have to “allow” my apps every times. Anyone having this issue as well?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] autom8r:
Hmm, I have no issue, there is a checkbox at the bottom for always remebering an app's permissions. Try to clear your caches, uninstall and reinstall.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
DITTO. I also don't get it.. I guess this falls unto the "To Each Their Own" category. I played around with it a bit, but not really found any use for it. I personally like the "Sliding Tab" lock screen, because I have have a few shortcuts I like to have on my lock screen, plus the sliding tab has a shortcut to the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
You know once you add custom app shortcuts to the ring lock it's very similar to the Sense 3.0 lockscreen where you get up to 4 app shortcuts? It's hardly pointless, if anything it offers more utilization than any other CM lockscreen icon. However I personally don't use it because the unlock animation doesn't look very smooth.

When I select it just opens and bounces back, doesn't start app

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lowsnamebrand:
Really I think its just the ability to have numerous shortcuts but not clutter the lock screen with them like widget locker, but I feel like it fits my needs when ya got a fifteen minute break at work and you need to say check your bank account and text messages you can do them almost instantly with the shortcuts without multiple tabs or icons clogging m lockscreen
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
I don't know how to fix it sorry, but you should consider switching to youmail and download the youmail app from the market. I like it much better than t-mo's voice mail system. It's all free too.

Actually, now that I think about it you may have to call your carrier. It may be a glitch in your account.

The ring lockscreen looks much better if you go into spare parts and set your animation speed to FAST.

looking for a little community input. i have been reading for like the last half hour trying to figure out exactly what i'm looking for and i'm hoping for a good recommendation.

got the wife's g2 running the nightly from maybe 2 or 3 days ago. since then she's been dropping a serious amount of calls. today was really bad. I don't remember if i did a fix permissions when i flashed the last one but i'll take care of that first thing in the morning when i update it to the latest.

1. what radio can you recommend? i'm not 100% but i believe she's using the one ending with .30

2. are you guys flashing the corresponding ril recommended with the radio?

3. would you recommend the new recovery using ext4? any cons?

like i said, i've been trying to read up but between keeping up with my sensation, i'm also getting a galaxy tab tomorrow so i've been trying to prepare for that as well. thanks in advance for your help :cool:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
1. Radios are dependent on your location/carrier/device (G2/DZ)/etc. It's pretty much just trial and error.

2. It's not recommended to match RILs with AOSP based ROMs (which CM is).

3. Recovery is a preference. I personally switched to 4EXT because I wanted the ability to flash multiple scripts at a time and while CWM v5 has that, it also is broken for our device. The ability to convert to ext4 is an added plus.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] damngood98:

2. thank you

3. gonna check it out
