Flashed #14 from stock (the unknown number issue has kept me away from CM6 due to security software I run) and ran into the SDcard issue as well as a Super User issue. Here were my steps.

Downloaded #14 and gapps (checked md5sum of both), booted into recovery, wiped everything (data, cache, dalvik), flashed #14 and then gapps, and then fixed permissions.

Booted into CM7, killed all the Market downloads except Titanium Backup and the Pro license. Launched Ti and couldn't get SU permissions; rebooted and was able to get SU permissions but the SDcard wasn't recognized. Tried mounting out of the file manager and the card showed as blank; booted into recovery, mounted the SDcard there and then booted into CM7 and had access to the SDcard and was able to restore my user app backup.

Launched Maps and got a lock fairly quickly but it was off by about a block when it is normally spot on (I test GPS from the same location every time).

Previous nightlies have shown the same issues (SU and GPS) but this was the first time I encountered the SDcard issue (granted, I didn't try the last weeks worth of nightlies).

Hope this helps the devs; went back to stock until it all gets sorted out.

RC2 didn't work for me...I prefer nighties anyway. About to flash #14 and I love this stuff!

great news, i insist on nightly bulids~~:p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
Just flashed #14 it seemed good, then I rebooted and got "corrupted sd card" then I rebooted again and its now fine again....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidcues:
Fourteen is like butter.

Still..its bugging me I couldn't get RC2 to play nice. Going to try a fastboot wipe and fresh install of RC2 without gapps today.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
Why bother if build#14 is like butter? Both released around same date and build#15 will be an improvement again anyhow
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidcues:
Because its working for others... and because It bothers me when stuff is broken. I may as well just fuhgeddaboudit maybe its a sign that I am a nightly person. Awesome!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
I flashed RC1 and changed the next day to Nightly anyhow. If you're a Nightly person, IMHO no need to use RC's. All an RC is, is a so called stable Nightly build

why the avalibe Ram is only 371 if DZ has 512?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Crey23:
Quick question....RC2 = #14?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
Basically. The difference being the RC's and stable builds are built by the device maintainers (in this case Cyanogen) while the nightlies are built by the buildbot. The difference between RC2 and build #14 though is RC2 has a little added bug where the Update notification menu in CM settings is in Hebrew; 14 fixes that.

Speaking of the Update notification, is anyone else having trouble getting it to register? It's been happening for a while. I'm not sure when it started in the nightlies, but I wiped after RC1 (don't remember what build) and it won't register, meaning it just sits at "Registering... Please Wait" pop-up.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Crey23:
Are you referring to the moment after you reboot, and click the little green bot?

If so, I had issues with this and had to flash gapps to get it to work in the past. Gonna flash #14 right now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martx:
I think he might be referring to the setting in cm settings to be notified about updates. I tried to register yesterday and it wouldn't register, it just sat there "thinking".
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
No. I mean when you go into Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > System > Update notifications. It says to enable push notifications, etc. etc. I'll hit "Register" and a pop-up comes up saying "Registering... Please Wait", which is supposed to happen, but it never registers. I have ROM Manager Premium which you need to use this feature.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ddgarcia05:
The radio takes up some of tha ram. Its been debunked shorty after the phone was released.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SomEngangVar:
It's been happening for a while for some people. I brought it up a couple of builds ago but we haven't found out why as far as I know. If I had to guess I'd say it's probably for the same reason some of the sites were/are down. By that I mean server stuff, but I'd probably be wrong.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
No, I agree with you. But you would think it would return an error message of some sort. Then again, there may not be an error message written in there to return in this instance, thus making it just sit there. Idk, I haven't looked to see if this is the case.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cold0ero:
I don't know if anyone else has this problem but I figured I'd put it out there. I'm using Nightly #14 and have been using previous nightlies. Approximately around build 5, I started having a problem in the app called Live Hold'em. The problem is that no matter if I'm on Wifi or regular cell data, the data comes in as bursts. I can't even play the game sometimes because I won't know it's my turn until the data catches up and it says I folded. I would normally blame the game for this but I also notice a slight pattern when it comes to things on the web as well (including youtube and the likes) so I was wondering if this is something many people have experienced?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DerIdiot:
I do have the occasional hiccups where my data stops working, but that's over the network. It usually resovles in 30 seconds or so, but it's pretty annoying.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Spastic909:
This has been provided somewhere in this 4000+ replies. Where to I place the gps(working) file after updating to newer CM7. My gps as a lot of people doesn't work on anything past CM7 nightly #4. Using root explorer if that helps
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kalipedia:
For the GPS patch using Root Explorer, you can see my earlier post here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11683776#post11683776

In that post, I also link to the AUS Radio thread which provides a real fix for the GPS problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kara mustafa:
atomatic brightness works in quite strange way. it looks like it is all the time on the same level, for me automatic brightness just doesn't work or i dont understand how it works ;d and after 5 hours "cool" screen off and on animations just disappears. I had a GPS problem too but changing drivers solved it(i have the newest radio). i hadn't a problem with SDcard or SU permission, but this Automatic Brightness is annoying .
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DerIdiot:
Anyone else have their notification area for WIFI, Signal and data transfer change from green back to white?

Just flashed RC2 and had that weird oddity.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] compuguy1088:
The status icons do that to indicate if your connected to the google "cloud".
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] onelikeseabass:
Been happening rather often for me since I flashed B13. Haven't moved to B14 yet.

As for battery consumption on the new radio... it was total crap until I disabled XDA app notifications and also set WiFi to sleep when the screen is off. 15 hours and it's @ 54% right now.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
just had the sdcard issue for the first time. i had my phone plugged in to my pc i turned off USB storage and got the message about damaged sdcard, mounting sdcard from the storage settings solved the problem but it seems to happen every time I turn off USB storage.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HLeenders:
Yesterday I flashed #13 and experienced for the first time that GPS would not start (no icon in notification bar) and CoPilot warning that there was no GPS present. All it needed was to reboot once. Today I flashed #14 and experienced (while testing CoPilot) for the first time a warning by CoPilot that my SD card was not present. All it needed was to reboot once. After that no issues with GPS or SD-card noticed. Just my 2 cents.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Spastic909:
Anyone know why when screen is locked it stays blank when receiving a call? Anything I can change
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Using screen on/off animations? Are you using a SetCPU "screen off" profile of 245max/245min? You may need to up the clockspeed when screen off using the animation or it won't turn on when an incoming call starts.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Spastic909:
I use the governers built into the firmware itself. Ondemand is the setting. I have the min 245(or whatever) and the max at 1516(or whatever). Animations are all off(which shouldn't matter right?).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Well usually if you're severely underclocked or overclocked and using screen on/off (CRT) animations, there can be wakelock/screen on issues.

Have you tried dropping the clock down to 1.2ghz or even 1ghz and tried to take a call?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tankmorph:
I just noticed the FOTA Kill app.

I did have some issues with Market showing some apps not installed in the "my apps" list (even though they were). It looks ok now. Maybe that will be fixed.

I'm just so happy my phone number is remembered now in additional call settings. Woot!

CM7 rocks.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] therenogade:
Very quick question. I do not have hboot-eng. To flash CWM recovery 3.0.0.2 I opened Terminal Emulator and typed the following:

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recoveryfilename.img

I was then able to flash CM7 and gapps. Is there problem flashing CMW recovery this way?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bmaing2:
So I see that the nightly builds are in rom manager can I just use that to get cm7??? Also I have titanium manager so when I restore apps in cm7 will it put back in its place as well or with the new rom would I have to just restore apps and arrange?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
No problem to flash it that way.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
There is a bit more to it than just downloading via ROM Manager, you need to install the latest version of CWM. read this guide

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Colombiano80:
hey guys...first post ever, but been floating around for a few weeks.

hopefully a simple enough question:

with the newer gapps released, is there anything to do other than loading it from recovery. i assume it automatically replaces the older one or do we have to prep it up somehow (besides general backup of the phone for safety measures)? upon reboot of the phone, do we have to rebuild our google account (sync, market, etc...)?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] olearyp:
Every build attempt is serialized, even failed ones. For instance, here's what happened to build #4.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bluetenken:
Whenever you flash GAPPS over GAPPS, you don't lose anything so no need to re-sync your google account or anything, however I'm sure a lot of people here will agree on something such as making a backup before flashing anything they don't know where exactly is coming from :) , be that GAPPS or a ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Hi welcome to XDA, just a couple of thing to remember. Make sure you post in the correct sections, this question should of gone in the Q & A section. And make sure have had a good read through and use the search function before you post.

Flashing the new GAPPS over you current GAPPS will just replace them, no need to re sync

so am i the only one getting 50 kbps down and 1mpbs up speeds on cm7? what is going on here?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
Well that cleared that up. Appreciated
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
I just noticed that you've been switching between radios. Have you done a complete wipe yet? I'm on 04.02.07 and it is working great for me, but right after I flashed this radio I did a complete wipe before I flashed the newest CM7 (5).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sundar2012:
I did a complete wipe before flash CM7 (with the egypt radio) then I downgraded to the old radio. However, you do mention something interesting - i forgot to do a cache wipe after flashing the older radio. I will report back results...

[intermission]

OK, wipe cache and dalvik cache - rebooted. I seem to be back at hspa+ speeds! Takeaway: Egypt radio + CM7 = data throttled?

[update]

well that didnt last long - slow again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:

Lol this wont end well.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Spastic909:
Yeah no go. It seems only with cm7 this happening. I use same settings on mexdroid, gingervillian, and stock with no issues. But now thinking back this just started after I restored the back up I made of cm7 nightly 4 back in the middle of february.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] goorpy:
N14 installed and working fine. No SD card issues or GPS issues. Locked signal in about a minute on first use.

Installed manually via Clockwork after calche+dalvik wipe (no data wipe).

Also flash latest gapps, no issues there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] C.Flat:
Ok, R2 gave me shi**y battery life, I wiped and installed #13, wifi bootloop, wipe and install #12, more wifi bootloop. I wiped and installed #14 and again I get wifi bootloop.

How can I stop this from happening?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Reboot your phone after you boot into the rom for the first time. On second boot you can enable wifi.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pawel_podgorski:
do not flash with rom manager people have a serious problems with that go with recovery
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
Miraculously and without making any sense whatsoever, my GPS began working today after the usual mid-day re-flash.

The first time I flashed 14 it didn't work, just like it hadn't worked with 13, 12, 11, 8, 7, and 6.

I say that it doesn't make any sense because until now, I've always had to replace gps.vision.so with the version from build #4 to have functioning GPS, and i say 'usual' because I have tried re-flashing with every build just in the off-chance that it could make a difference.

I've had the new radio since before the issue started, so it's not that.

All I know is that it works now, and I'm stumped. Maybe the only solution is simply to keep re-flashing until you get lucky... Because that's essentially what's happened here.

Before anyone asks, this is how I flash (every time):

wipe cache

wipe dalvik

install nightly zip

install pershoot's kernel zip

fix permissions

reboot​

Scratch that, seems it was a one-time fluke. Haven't been able to get a fix since, guess I got excited that it worked once and thought it was a miracle.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] quierotacobell:
I have a music player playlist question. I backed up the data for the music app using Titanium, and I thought by restoring it restore my playlist also, but it doesn't on CM7, but it did on CM7. Is there any other way I could do it, any other app or it's in the settings some where?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] itsallandroid:
haha believe me i know, but i only use it to download the roms to my phone, and it used to alert me when there was a new nightly but it doesnt anymore:confused:

CM7 Nightly 15 is running well for me. Had a few problems when it first booted but I figured it all out. Nothing to write home about if an idiot like me can fix it. Thanks again to all the devs for working so hard.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bwilborn:
You know, I had the exact same experience as you. I flashed the new radio and used it for a few days. Had improved signal in areas where I got spotty signal at best, but it just murdered my battery. It did fix the GPS issue, but like you, I'd rather have better battery life. Flashed the original radio back, and no GPS issue. Weird.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pawel_podgorski:
try #15 is ready to flash
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noodles2224:
So what's new for us??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bwilborn:
Yeah...done and done. Cleared cache, dalvik, battery stats and fixed permissions. Will let it charge overnight and use it for a few days and see how things shake out. I'm not a fan of installing every nightly, but will usually refresh about once a week. I've found that this is the best way to really test out things that act a little wonky...you can't really tell if things are messed up if you're constantly changing things. Oh, also...I didn't have any issues with the SD card like others have been having. Time to go play with the profiles!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Wow I just flashed #15 while on the newest radio, then flashed the stock OTA Tmobile radio and I still have GPS. :D

Wooooooooo!!!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mikey:
Which is the official radio for the g2 these days?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
GPS not working on #14 with the stock radio that came with my G2. Haven't tried flashing different radios because people are reporting mixed results at best. Trying to flash N#15 now (yep, still no GPS)

has anyone had success using the new radio (that is, 12.28h.60.140f_26.06.02.27) from Here? People are saying its fixing the GPS issue in a real way vs. just applying the small fix to your current radio. Where can I find the shipping radio to flash back to if I encounter issues?

Edit: nvm found my current radio and grabbed a download to go back to if all hell breaks loose on the new one. Will report back with GPS status.

Edit 2: Flashed the newest radio from that thread. 12.28h.60.140f_26.06.02.27 . GPS locks on instantly no issues. my 3G download speeds are a bit low in testing, around .85 mbps down vs. 1.6 or so down usually with my old radio (fwiw my upload speeds are the same as old radio, about 1.6mbps). Gonna report back see if I can get more consistent speeds.

Edit 3: Did a reboot, Wiped Dalvik Cache, Wiped Cache, booted up and I'm getting solid 3G/HSDPA data speeds, consistent with my old radio. GPS still works perfectly instant lock 8 satellites. Now the question is how battery life will be affected, as some people have posted bad life with this one.

So once again, GPS WORKS WITH THIS.

how about the 3d driver?is it work properly in the latest build?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
How do you get the logs? Ill post mine later today.

GPS hasn't worked for me since Build 4, even on the latest Build #15 with the GPS fixes. No icon even pops up in GPS status or Maps, so GPS not working at all. Only way Ive gotten it to work is to replace the gps.vision.so from Build #4 on every new build. Ive tried it with the stock kernel and Pershoot's latest kernel, though I doubt that would even have made a difference.

I do have the latest radio installed (see sig), so thats not the issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vandam500:
He said post logs if not working after build 16
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] userfriendlyme:
From his quote it seems he wasn't sure if it was #16. Fixes were placed in #15. I would certianly post a log if there were GPS problems still after flashing #15.

JAjajajaaj....Vlad good no know you are in So Fla....Ft. Lauderdale here...

Yesterday I pulled the lib files from the new radio to the phone and still could not get google cloud over the H/3G/E/G...thinking I screwed something up, I was about to revert to the old libs, but was tired and went to bed. Glad I did

Hey quick question....are you finding that speeds locally have slowed down in the past few weeks? It may be the old libs with new radio thing, but just wanted to check with the "locals" :D

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:
My experience with the GPS is little different(better) than some people here. My GPS has been working fine even since I start using CM7 Nightlies. However, it NEVER gets a lock when I’m inside my office at work even with pure stock (T-Mobile shipped) Rom.

Today, I flashed #15 and tested it out and Voila! It locked-in in less than 7 seconds in front of my eyes.

In other words, my GPS HAS improved…for me at least.

My current configurations:

Location: So Cal

Device: Vision TMOBILE-US G2

Carrier: T-Mobile USA

Radio: Vision_RADIO_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26

Rom: CM7 #15

Kernel: whatever came with Nightlies

Edit: I have to point out that our smart phones’ GPS are A-GPS (Assisted GPS) which means they rely on both cell towers and Satellites. The Cell Towers play a important role in determine your GPS location. From MY experiences, being on Edge connection seems to give me faster lock-in GPS and more reliable coordinate.
