Anyone else not seeing their installed apps in "my apps" in the market? I have many apps installed, but the market doesn't recognize them. This is coming from a fresh wipe/install.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] marquis.hagetaka:
just installed #5 and for some reason I haven't been able to get sim tool kit to work on any of these builds.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
They are the same nightlies that they always were....the numbering just started over.

Full has always been in the file name.

On a side note, #5 showed up in Rom Manager for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
Well...going for #5 now. Flash away before bedtime! LOL
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noodles2224:
Anyone confirm if we have the battery % now???
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
Yes, its up there and enabled in CM settings.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] techcraver:
I have the same issue - I thought they would sync up after a day or two but they haven't.

Anyone have any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Damn. I was gonna wait for a few nightlies cuz I'm happy at #4, now I just have to flash #5 lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Try clearing data in market app through titanium.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:


It is addicting!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
Totally worth it. The battery % looks really good. I really like that its not just a number tacked onto the normal battery indicator. Those look weird in 2.3 because of the vertical battery. Well done to whoever gave the green light on this.

FYI the % small battery is animated as well for charging.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
Not a fan of the mini battery, there are talks to make it optional. Keeping my battery % widget in the mean time.

There was also a commit for the option to show the characters in the messaging app...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
You think so? It may not be the most sexy thing I've ever seen, but I think it looks better than numbers that don't fit on the small GB battery, and especially better than a persistent notification.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
No the days of numbers in the battery are over. Some people including my self would like to see the numbers next to the regular battery instead of the skinny one...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
I agree that i'd prefer a full battery and a %, but this is better than nothing for sure and doesn't look horrible.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spovat:
must be dumb..can't seem to find the setting to toggle the % small battery =/

edit: nevermind, got it =)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] vietphunguyen:
Is there a change log for the nightlies?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
Vlad, maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but its optional right now...or do you mean an optional battery icon?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
I noticed this:

- battery percentage on statusbar

- fixed german keyboard issues

- Camera: advanced option menu if you press "menu" button

- Character Count at sms settings available

- Added SMS Split by encoding and counter at end of message with settings

- Fixed Incognito Mode issue at browser

- few translations to apps etc. again

- fixed "Linse" lockscreen style:Now it`s "Lense" lockscreen (German)

Ran into a bug with #5; a friend messaged me a long text and I only received the second part. I rebooted and had him send it again and got the same. The message header showed 2/2 (second of two) and began mid sentance.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Just a heads up, GPS doesn't work at all with build 5. I was one of those that never had a GPS problem previously. I tried toggling on and off GPS, wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions, and with pershoots kernel. GPS icon will not pop-up for GPS status or maps. It's pretty much dead in this build.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdWRX:
Same here, GPS isn't working on build5, as for the rest of it, works nicely.

After sometime with the phone usage during the day, it gets kinda slow switching between landscape mode (popping up the physical kb) and portrait mode. U guys have the same issues? I only have the google search widget on the main screen, and the rest is icons, in cm6 that switch in the screen was much faster... :( any ideas? I run 806mhz max for awesome battery life.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Untouchab1e:
I commited the fix for #2, #4 and #6. Can anyone confirm that those there work alright?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
I beg to differ. Just tested GPS and it works fine for me. Tried car navigation and Google Maps. Both worked fine.....for me

GPS is working fine for me in build #5
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ddgarcia05:
I'm on build 4 and still have a blue screen in vertical video playback. Does build 5 correct the problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s0epkip:
just updated to #5 but still have the video error: videos only play in landscape mode, not in portrait (gives me blue lines instead of video).

Love the rest :)

Edit: GPS is working fine though! (Desire Z EURO), radio/volume still breaks after receiving a call while listening to FM radio.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fermunky:
Weird. Installed #5 and a handful of my apps broke (Market, GMail, Twitter, just to name a few). I restored, then flashed again and works fine now. GPS wouldn't work, but gonna fix perms and reboot to make sure.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
I generally flash latest build (wipe cache & Dalvik first), fix permissions then reboot before I start trying any apps
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fermunky:
So did I, before I started using ROM Manager, since it's only option to clear cache also does a data wipe :(. I restored back to #4 and GPS is working again. If I try #5 again, I'll probably do the whole clear cache/dalvik, flash, fix perms method.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] borisimo:
Flashed #5 this morning, so far seems solid. GPS locked on almost instantly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Fallen Spartan:
I use Rom Manager also but I generally reboot into recovery from rom manager or bootloader to flash rom. In recovery you have the option to wipe cache without also wiping data
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
Gps is also working great for me too, got a GPS lock in about 5 sec.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
I have (Use wireless networks and Use GPS Satellites) both checked on for this...WIFI is OFF!

Walked outside, opened up maps....grabbed my location pretty quick. Then I searched for a local vet clinic and hit driving directions. Boom...had the turn by turn navigation in under five seconds.

GPS is working great for me on #5.....T-Mobile US HTC G2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] deliriousDroid:
My problems with Feb 22 #4 update. Xda did not work!!! Ahhh. Also my signal coverage was very poor. One problem I have had will all the cm7 is the signal is white unless I have Wi-Fi or data turned on. Also the vibrate notification is white. Anyone else have that?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Crey23:
could someone shoot me the reader's digest version of the difference between Dalvik, Data, and Cached memories?

I'm getting confused here!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Crey23:
Delirious...I had that with #2, flashed #3 thinking it would fix, but realized that I needed to flash GAPPS. Once I flashed gapps, I was getting green connections.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ad505:
That fixed it. I had fixed permissions and was clearing the cache/data in settings but hadn't thought about tb.

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
No I mean if you choose the option to display the %, you're stuck with the mini one. I would rather just have have the regular battery and have the % next to it... making the skinny one optional.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
In laymans:

Cache is a partion where androind stores some temp files. Data is a partition where all of your apps, settings, and other files are stored. Dalvic cache stores certain parts of apps to speed up java vm. It is stored on the data partition. If you wipe dalvic, android rebuilds it at boot.

I also think some people are way too wipe happy when it comes to dalvic, its not necessary 90% of the time...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
For those with GPS lock problems: try exiting the app and turn gps off and on in settings. Also I noticed some builds ago that the gps icon no longer blinks when searching for gps, it just appears when you have a lock. Give it some time...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WarBird87:
Ill try this and see if it works, cuz im not getting an icon with gps switched on in the status bar wiget... it was working good for me on #3 and i just flashed #5 and i waited about 3 min and no lock or icon. i used gps status and reset and redownloaded settings and still nothing so ill give this a try
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
I just posted something about this in Pershoot's kernel thread; On RC1, I got a nearly instant lock, but when I flashed his latest kernel it wouldn't. I tried leaving it there for several minutes, as well as GPS Status app. I'm just using Maps to see it lock on my house, not necessarily the GPS icon. I have not tried turning GPS on in settings, been using the Notification widget.

Edit: Managed to fix my GPS problem. Flashed nightly #5; fixed permissions; tested GPS; flashed Pershoot's; fixed permissions; tested again; got a lock but it was a little off so used GPS Status app, tested a 3rd time and it was dead on.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fermunky:
I understand how to wipe those areas when in recovery myself :)

So I tried to nandroid backup, wipe all but data, flash, and fix perms, and GPS still will not activate, so I restored to #4 again. As a last ditch effort, I will try the fix that was posted here and in the RC1 thread to see if that fixes it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
With all the #1 - #5, I just wiped cache only and then flashed the ROM. About GPS, I turn it on from the pull down window, then launch Maps...with a second or two I get the GPS icon at the top. It locks on pretty quick too.

If I turn Maps on without GPS my location is off slighty until I turn GPS on and then I see my location get update properly.

I guess I am one of the lucky ones.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WarBird87:
i wiped cache and fixed permissions after i flashed and still dont get a gps lock lol..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fermunky:
I think it is iomportant to specify which GOS problem you have.

Most have a problem with GPS not even activating, meaning not even a blinking icon.

If you're getting a blinking icon, then most likely your GPS antenna is working, just not locking maybe due to environmental reason. But is not the same as the more common problem I mentioned above.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vlad83:
There was some gps status app that was mentioned some days back. Maybe you guys should look into it. When my gps acts out I just turn it off/on, reboot, etc and it goes back to normal... see if maybe fixing permissions works...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merdely:
My GPS had been working for #40, #1, and #4, but stopped working with #5. I downloaded #5, rebooted, backed up, formatted /cache, formatted dalvik, flashed #5, ran fixpermissions, booted, rebooted. Turned on GPS and used GPS Status. No icon. No lock. I cleared and re-downloaded GPS data. Still nothing.

Not related, I then flashed pershoot's kernel through ROM Manager and rebooted.

GPS still does not work.

FWIW: Other things work: battery percentage, advanced camera options, wifi, Market.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
I think I only wipe EVERYTHING with going from RC1 to #1 just to get a fresh and clean install. Then just installed apps and tweaked the ROM to my liking. From then on I just wiped cache so I can keep apps still there and most other settings.

I backup during the ROM Manager process too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] buff_rob1256:
I've been using #4 (I know this isn't the latest) but was wondering if anyone on the same or the newest version could check if they have the same odd behaviours as me?

Namely:

Signal bar is white until i turn on wifi, then both are green, reverts back to white when wifi is off

When adding a contact with the hardware keyboard, the numbers at the top of the keyboard are wrong (i.e. pressing fn+T doesn't produce a 5, just some other random number)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JonInAtl:
Make sure your APN settings are correct
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JonInAtl:
No problems so far with #5.

Build #5 fine so far. Only fm radio is muting volume when call received, irrevocably, till I do a su, killall mediaserver. Recently learnt this on cm forum.

Otherwise great. Well, battery percentage is yet a bit raw aesthetically.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kalipedia:
+1 on GPS being busted in #5 (and yes, I've run through all the basic quick-fixes with no luck). On #3 it was perfect (and battery life was amazing to boot), and before that on RC1 it was busted. (I skipped other nightlies). Hoping #6 will fix GPS and let me have the much welcome battery percent in status bar.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merdely:
FYI: Copying gps.vision.so from #4 and rebooting worked. On your computer, download #4 and extract. Copy ./system/lib/hw/gps.vision.so to your mounted G2. Unmount and turn off USB Storage. Open Terminal emulator:

su
cd /system/lib/hw
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /sdcard/gps.vision.so .
chmod 644 gps.vision.so
chown root:root gps.vision.so
reboot
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] philosophics:
This is off topic but yes, xda app works in gingerbread. But make sure you close threads and exit out of the app everytime or the app will force close the next time you go to use it. Only time it force closes...

And why don't you all just wait for #6 and stay on #4 until then? Why mess with #5 so much?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Spastic909:
My problem isn't gps not locking, it doesn't come on at all no matter what, wiping, clearing, fixing perms, still nothing. Other than that everything is good.

Also wondering on a sidenote if there is a custom gingerbread rom(hybrid or whatever like gingervillian etc etc)? The reason I ask is because these versions don't register my phone as a g2 therefore preventing it from knowing my number or accessing sim card(when flashing my original stock froyo that came with US TMboile G2 everything works there)

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] smartin4166:
G2...cm nightly#5.....gps is perfect.....it locks quickly too! I don't know why others are having problems but my gps is excellent.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merdely:
Well, there was a GPS commit after #3 that didn't seem to make it into #4 (like the advanced camera settings):

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/3276

And, this problem happened with RC1 & #29 IIRC. Some people had the problem, some didn't.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
Right, this did just happen a few builds ago, and people who said "there's no problem with GPS because mine works fine" failed to realize that just because their phones were fine didn't mean there wasn't a problem. The commits that did in fact break GPS for half of us were reversed. There was another commit made for GPS that didn't make it into #4, but seems to have been implemented in #5. It's had the same effect, breaking GPS for some and not others.

Google Maps is not as definitive a test for GPS as people think it is. Use GPS Status, and watch to see how many satellites, if any, are locked. Build 4 locks nearly instantly to 9 satellites for me, while build #5 takes several minutes to find 3 and never actually gets a coordinate fix.

If your GPS works, good for you. Don't think it means that there isn't a problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fermunky:
I could kiss you Primatage. I've been wanting to write that up for a while, but always takes too long to convey the message properly without sounding like a jerk. I'm just sticking with #4 until I see those commits on GPS reversed/changed again.

i went from #1 to #3 without wiping, and it was totally fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] olearyp:
Er, no, it wasn't, it was gigglebread, someone forgot a "static", it got fixed. See the repo init stdio for the failed build in question, and the link to the commit in my previous post.

Anyhow, looks like we're up next.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Hot_Hands:
I've noticed with the number issue that unlike in 6.1 it saves the number, but does not restore. Every reboot on 6.1 I had to go back into phone settings and retype my number in. 7 keeps the number, but for some reason it's not reading it on boot or something.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Hot_Hands:
Because it's a popular eye candy feature exclusive to GB? I've been running the patched framework on build 0 since it came out the other day and I haven't had any wake or black screen issues. I don't overclock though. :rolleyes:

The patch Cyanogen put in should be fine. It's enabled, but off by default. So if you wanna overclock, just turn it off. Sounds good to me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ThaGeNeCySt:
I'm not sure how much "overclocking" is needed before the screen on/off animation causes the screen not to turn back on but in Gingervillain as well as the gridlock build of CM7 (before the nightlies) I never experienced Wake problems with the screen on/off animations while being overclocked to 1.2 GHz

i am glad that cyanogen turned off the screen animations to be perfectly honest, because there were points in the cm7 unofficial builds that i would experience some wake issues and i was only oc'ed to 1.1 ghz. I know you have probably been getting alot of people who are crying about the screen off and on animations...but i must say thank you cyanogen you and the rest of your team are doing a great job!!!

guys less crying about the animations, besides my phone seems to actually run smoother with out them.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Cyanogen, this weekend I'm going to download all available ROMs for the Vision/G2 to sort out which access the SIM and which don't as far as the unknown number issue goes; would having that list help you out at all?

So far, off the top of my head, all the Sense based ROMs I've played with haven't had the issue and one or two non-Sense ROMs haven't had the issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
They are back (the CRT on/off animations) in Build 5, did you not read the post right before yours. And they work fine, Im OC to 1.2 with no problems. Window animations speed must be set to normal though in spare parts in order for it to work.
