I've been losing a few apps and not being able to sign in to the market after flashing recent nightlies. but strangely, after I reflash my Gapps from the Zmod theme, I can sign into the market and the missing apps are back.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DJMartini:
I'm having same problem with just 1 app and have to keep reflashing the .zip of it. Not sure why though
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] petard:
Try changing the cpu governor. I had this problem and switching from On Demand to Interactive fixed it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
That's interesting, because OnDemand and Interactive are nearly the same.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hitman818:
I just tried the stock t-mobile gb rom and the stock gb launcher just feels so much smoother then the gb launcher on cm7. Im even using the stock gb launcher that I flashed and just isnt that smooth.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] petard:
There must be some line of code that breaks OnDemand that doesn't break Interactive. This was happening on two Bell Desire Zs used on AT&T flashed with CM. I tried 4 different radios on both. I believe it started happening ever since the switch to the .35 kernel. Both phones were fixed by switching them to Interactive. I also tried completely wiping one and not restoring anything, still crashed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Very crazy. Guess it was just one little thing breaking it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ThaGeNeCySt:
If you want.. you can open the zip.. and replace the launcher2.apk in there with the launcher2.apk that you have.. and then flash. It will still work (I've done it with the leaked gingerbread run and ended up with 7 homescreens - not 5 like nexus launcher2.apk)

I think the latest ADW EX comes the closest to the smoothness found in the stock GB launcher but stock GB Launcher is still smoother. It makes better use of hardware acceleration than the latest adw ex.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KarlosTheJackal:
Wait, the new launcher2.apk has 7 home screens?! I want!

Is this just pulled from the stock GB Rom or from somewhere else?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
I pulled the Gingerbread launcher from the latest OTA and De-Oxed it. I have taken XBoarder56's update.zip for the old launcher and updated it to the new one. Use at your own risk!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hitman818:
I just tried the launcher and its basically the same one in the market, but with 7 homescreens. Is it stock gb launcher smoother because its odexed and not deodexed?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
I just flashed the file through CMW, which went successful, but when I rebooted - it got stuck on the CM7 boot screen. I had to reflash #167 wipe cashed and Dalvik to get back.

What did I do wrong? I wanna get this launcher to work SO BAD!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ultma75:
Just flashed it and it worked perfectly
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hitman818:
Can anyone tell my the gb launcher on cm7 launcher isnt as smooth as the gb launcher in the stock t-mobile rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
I re-downloaded the zip file, and tried again. I flashed the zip file from CWM and it again gave me a success message, but it still got stuck in the CM7 boot screen. I had to nandroid restore back again.

How'd you do it successfully?

How smooth is this launcher as compared to the OTA GB stock launcher?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hitman818:
Its still not as smooth at the ota gb launcher in the stock rom. Its basically the same as the gb launcher from the market.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
Thanks hitman818 for your honesty. If I was infront of my PC ill push your 'thanks' button.

I guess im stuck with ADW EX which I purchased months ago, and I feel is the closest to that GB stock launcher as for the smoothness.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hitman818:
If you want you can try the stock t-mobile gb rom. The gb launcher in that stock rom is as smooth as they come. I only reason why I switched is that it didnt have some of the features of cm7 like the crt screen off and on animation which is strange because its a stock gb rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
I did try, for a day though. CM7 is a very polished rom. I've been running the latest nightlies, which I did dabble in other roms, but I always come back to CM7. With all the tweaking, updating, and commits the CM7 devs do for this rom, it doesn't compare.

Yet, because of the open-source community, CM7 uses ADW.

I did try the GB OTA rom (2.3.4 version) and wasn't that impressed except for how smooth that launcher was. Now going back to CM7 which has (2.3.5 version) is just my liking. With all those little tweaks and optimizations you can't beat.

Its just that launcher.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
Nobody liking GO Launcher EX? I've been using it for months and I love it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
Same here. I've tried them all and for me Go Launcher is the best. Smooth as butter on CM7.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
another go launcher user here :) been using it for about 2 months
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MarthaFokker:
I've also been on Go launcher for a couple of months now. My favorite so far.:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yogi2010:
wow, I might as well continue the chain here: lovin' Go Launcher, hehe.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SomEngangVar:
Launcher Pro Plus or Stock launcher here.

Had a weird bug a second ago. Keyboard got stuck in landscape so when I tried to open it in portrait it was zoomed in and half of it was cut off. Went away with a reboot, though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Maybe I just didn't catch it, but the launcher on the OTA rooted ROM didn't seem any discernable amount smoother or not than the nexus 2.3.3 launcher that I've been flashing for several months now. Maybe I'll flash back and check or try to pull out that launcher, but it really seems to be the same to my eyes.

I did run a rooted OTA for a day or two, but like you said CM7 is just so polished and has a few nice things built in here and there that make it awesome. Not to mention that I can easily flex out a couple more hours on CM7 than the stock ROM because of the improvements.

One of the biggest things for me is just having the drop-down notification power widgets. Using the Vol/Vib/Silent widget in the bar is amazing. Also, having such fine-tuning available through CMsettings is amazing. Its just the little things that I don't realize how great they are until I dont have them that make me come back to CM7.

SIDE NOTE: Has anyone noticed when going to 166/167 that call volume is super high? Seems like in the last two nightlies calls are extremely loud, both on normal speaker and on speakerphone, even when the volume is turned all the way down. Noticed this on a few phone calls.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spovat:
launcherpro has always been wayy smoother for me than both adw and go launcher
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
Personally don't use any Go apps over my concerns that they collect data/usage etc

This finally fixed it for me! Just had Google Nav running for 25mins! Ill do a few more long tests tomorrow but this seams to have fixed it for me! XD
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hamish909:
Anyone notice after a while of using it there is a sliight delay or becomes less sensitive in the scrolling?

It resolves after a restart
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
Noticed this myself on last Nightly and decided to do a superwipe as I hadn't done one in ages. So I did it before flashing latest Nightly. Now I don't experience this

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] funkeee:
I beg to differ. First there's nowhere to sign up to get the stable, only beta. After checking out their forums, it appears that they do not support ROM flashing (for now).

Check this: http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?4280-trying-to-load-up-swype-through-titanium-back-up
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Swype 3.0 beta works perfectly fine for custom roms/rom flashing.. just sign up to get the Swype installer.. but yea, they need to just put Swipe on the Market already to make it easier for ppl.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yogi2010:
I flashed the Synergy Sense ROM last night, and I really loved the camera, it seemed to be nicer and more sophisticated than what we have here. otherwise I like how I have my nightlies set up. I tried replacing the camera apk with the htc Camera apk from synergy, but I couldn't get it to work..... does anyone know if it is possible to use that camera apk on CM7?

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hitman818:
It cant happen since you need htc framework, and cm7 is stock.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yogi2010:

Is there a way I can put the Miui camera on Cm7?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BobbyHill:
I've done a search but didn't find an answer, so please bear with me if this has been asked before.

I'm having a problem with my wifi shutting off about 30 seconds or so after the screen shuts off. If I'm downloading something, streaming audio, or whatever, it stops.

I've gone into the wireless settings and set the wifi sleep policy to "Never" so I don't think that's the problem.

Any suggestions? It's starting to get on my nerves! :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Hmm, the only thing I can think of off the top of my head (since you have the sleep policy set to "never") is that you have a screen off profile; are you running SetCPU or something similar?

Also, what nightly are you on and when did this start?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
I'd say that you either don't have the wifi sleep policy set properly, or you possibly have an app like Juice Defender turning off your WiFi when the screen is off.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Can anyone explain the lone commit in #169?

I'm a bit hesitant to flash given Koush calling it sketchy (but approving it anyway). What recovery does this effect, I'm assuming not CWM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
Yes, there is a way. I haven't done it myself so I don't know how to, but I read others have and it is possible.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Yea I'm not sure how I feel about it after reading the whole change, and everyones responses to it.

i'm not going to flash this one.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Problem is, it's going to be there until it gets fixed/reverted but, not knowing the Android code, I don't know what it's actually doing and how it will effect things; anyone understand what's happening?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this commit is not part of the CM7 rom but will only be available when an update to clockworkmod recovery is released.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Pretty sure that's not the case, this is the CM repository and I doubt Koush would approve a commit to CWM with "it's sketchy but, its your call"; granted, I could be wrong.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
If you open up the Android.mk in the commit it looks like its for CWM 4.0.1.4 ....no worries until you update to that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] djfoo000:
Bear with me but does anyone else's display brightness go to full after exiting from the camera app? Mine does this everytime. But when I go to brightness setting the scrollbar thingy remains at where i left them, and upon touching it the brightness returns to the set value. Can't remember since when. On Nightly #168 now. Stock kernel. Always wiped /data, /cache and dalvik cache before flashing.

I did restore apps w/ data, but never system data.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bombadier:
Have same problem with unity, get automate it from market, handy program.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bombadier:
I think wifi sleep policy is bugged on some roms, unity doesnt remember and defaults to never and cm 7 is the opposite,wifi stutters after 5min, wake the screen and settles down,never found a good solution, fortunately i get a good signal with data so i just stream radio over data.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
To the person with wifi problems:

Settings-wireless and networks-wifi settings-menu button-advanced-wireless sleep policy-never.

It does not reallt affect battery life I always have wifi on and if anything it helps using wifi all the time and not the mobile network :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
He said he has already done this. Still did not work for him.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BobbyHill:
I'm currently on Nightly #168. Don't have setcpu or anything like that installed. It's been happening for quite a while I think.

I may just do a factory reset and see if that fixes things.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Instead of a factory reset, try flashing a superwipe.zip from recovery.

Can anyone tell me if superwipe+ wipes the efs data along with the other data? So I wont have to apply efs wipe and superwipe+ seperately.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
Yes, Superwipe+ wipes efs also, so doing efs wipe after superwipe+ is redundant.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
Cyanogenmod is run more by Team Douche than Cyanogen at this point, although he is the maintainer for our device. Everyone should be ecstatic for him, and wish him the best. It's not like he still won't be doing this.

Is this what's been holding up RC2 steve? :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KarlosTheJackal:
I couldn't agree more! Nice one to Steve for turning a hobby into a job :-)

And I'm sure its that ducks fault that we haven't got RC2 yet :-P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
True, until they give him one of those fangdangled NEW phones to help him develop their new UI, which is much better than touchwiz anyday. At least that's what I would do if I was Samsung.

Geez, I didn't know he was our phone's maintainer.

Also, what's going on with the sparse commits lately? Is CM7 really getting close to perfection?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
I went from Build #166 to #169 yesterday and have noticed Bluetooth share causing wake lock.

I have a feeling it has to do with the Bluetooth PAN commit in #167. I usually keep BT on all day and it hasn't been a problem until now. Anybody else?

Edit: I was on #167, but didn't have the problem with that build. Weird...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
I would say so. What else can really be done? Its like every version of cm before this one, u can only make it so perfect before there is nothing left to do. Pretty sure its gonna be done soon and we can all have crack flashing withdrawl till ic sammy hits.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
If you look at the open and not-yet-merged commits here, you will notice that there hasn't really been a slow down in development. It just seems like not much as been going on because higher ups like Cyanogen, Koushik Dutta, Ricardo Cerqueira, and others haven't verified for them to be merged. At least this is how I think it works after a few weeks of observation, as there have been plenty of open commits that have gotten a good amount of +1's from not high up users.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Since you understand that stuff better than us, could you tell us if there has been any progress on the gps/navigation signal loss issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
Geez, this horse is being dragged out again. I thought the last 5 nightlies cured this? Matter of fact just by reading back, I see entries stating thus issue been fixed.

I use Google Navigation every day. Even updated my radio to the latest OTA's and still NEVER have this issue. Every morning I download Coast to Coast AM and listen to this radio talk show via Bluetooth headset on my bicycle in 100+ degree temperatures 15 miles everyday, while Google navigation is running, and still keep STEADY signal lock 100% of the time..

It must be your phone.

To each their own, but the point is, I don't loose GPS signal lock.

Oh, right! On topic, I never really had the GPS problem since sometime around the RC's for CM7.0.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gtmaster303:
Is there any way to tweak the LED notification light around the trackpad?

It pulses for notifications too far apart. I want it to pulse faster.

I was able to customize the notification light on my old HTC Espresso in many ways. The G2 doesn't seem to have any of those options...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Since CM7 (gingerbread 2.3), trackpad lights WON'T blink faster even when adjusted properly. There is no known fix so far, unfortunately...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gtmaster303:
The only real problem I've had with this phone is the speakerphone volume.

Way too low and tinny to be used for anything practically.

It's hard to hear in my car for navigation, or in a room on a call.

I know it's hardware limited, but isn't there anything that can be done?

I've played around with the DSP settings. Anyone know what works best?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
You're lucky. Usually with CM7 I don't get any GPS signal at all. I flash virtuous 2.0 and it locks immediately when I try it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Maybe you have a defective phone (bad speaker)? Mine is very loud when I turn it all the way up.

On a side note....all is quiet on the CM Nightly front.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] djfoo000:
Coincidentally, the problem started after I flashed Unity. I thought it was a Unity thing so didn't bother to investigate.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
So you posted it in the CM Nightly thread? I am very confused.

You flash unity...have a problem with brightness after exiting camera app....go back to cm...still have problem....post in cm nightly thread.....admit u think its a unity thing....and still continue to post in the cm thread. Yep I am confused.

I tried exiting the camera app about ten times and my brightness never turned itself all the way up....so I don't know what to tell you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] djfoo000:
As in, the problem existed when I used Unity, and persisted even after I flashed CM7 after a full wipe.

Ok to be exact, the brightness turns to full after a picture is taken with flash on, and remains so after closing the camera. Opening the cam and closing it without snapping a pic doesn't do it.

And AutomateIt doesn't fix it. I selected it to trigger a rule when the camera is closed, and the rule is to set brightness to 40%. It did not change brightness after closing camera.

And just realised the brightness returns to set value after locking the screen and waking it (i realised it while typing a reply to you after taking a pic with flash on and exited the camera app, and the phone screen went to sleep). Not entirely sure if it is supposed to be like that.

Thousand apologies if I wasn't clear enough in the first place.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
Just about update, I told Daniel Tschinder about it and he submitted a fix, w00t

Fix: Do not change music volume if screen off and no music playing
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KarlosTheJackal:
The fix i found was the flash the radio in my sig! Not had a problem since then :-)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
Did your full wipe include formatting system or a superwipe? If not you need to do it over and be sure that you do one or the other. ( I do both when I do a full wipe)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
I thought mine was fixed after flashing the newest Bell .12 radio but it was a fluke and the gps signal lost issue came back. I'm now on the .26 radio that you are using and I tested it yesterday and gps was fine. Let's see what more time proves. I spoke too soon the last time.

There was an update to Maps last night in the market. Just curious if people that were experiencing the gps issue and updated to the new Maps are still experiencing the gps signal lost. Anybody??

hey guys hoping somebody can help me, all of a sudden my wifi wont turn on. after trying to cycle on it says error under it where it would say connected in settings>wireless and networks. wifi was fine 2 days ago. i was on nightly 168 but i just flashed the latest and it didnt fix.

could my radio be the culprit? any suggestions? could it be hardware or is the wifi antenna the same as the cell,bluetooth, etc...??
