Just a thought, but you could tag the files with a UTC date stamp...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] catachresistant:
So according to that flow-chart, that's a 50% chance we'll get ICS... Except they have a policy against hacks which means that.. we may never get ICS due to our lack of ICS camera drivers?

Shame, I'm going to give this phone to my mum when I buy the One X, and CM9 is perfect for her... Using additional applications for stuff like T9 dialing would confuse her - when they update, she would have to reconfirm which app to use to dial out, etc.

I don't understand why HTC doesn't update the G2 version of this device, given that it's near stock anyway...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kaijura:
Economics and phone politics. Same reason why the announced ICS upgrades have been sense 3.6 so far. If they upgraded everyone to sense 4, they lose initiative to get people to buy their one series.. I'm guessing the vision is EOL'd for sure when they release a new qwerty made to get you to jump ship and buy it.. The doubleshot is a nice example.

They don't make any money if they feed us upgrades, they lose it to their developers. But they make some nice cash when you buy a new phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
Well the main problem with promising Cyanogenmod is the constant changing of maintainers and the devices those devs own. We may have a leg up in that due to Cyanogen owning a G2 and (as of CM7) being the maintainer for us. Hopefully he continues that into CM9.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Are we sure Cyanogen still owns a G2? Could have sworn awhile back I read he moved on to another device. Might have kept his G2 as a backup device?

Either way Im not holding out much hope for CM9 officially being out for the G2, due to HTC and etc not providing the ICS drivers needed.

how is the experience with the new 7.2 ? stable or?

seems a little bit dead?

i want to go back from ICS to GB , because i think ICS is not stable enough at this time...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sisterchick:
For me, it's been good. No problems related to the ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amp:
Runs really good, no problems at all and zippy, like always. Definitely worth a superwipe and a quick Titanium backup execution on this ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
7.2 is good for me. I'm loving the new transitions, and also the new predictive dialer (is that the right term ? Now you can start entering someone's name instead of a number and it will bring them up, much like the Sense dialer).

Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
I'm also enjoying the rotation animations and the screen transitions.. ICS eye candy! Also, I think the dialer function is usually referred to as T9 dialing. Truthfully I've been very confused as to how both iOS and Android both natively do not come with this feature that has been on dumbphones for as long as I can remember... so I'm glad the CM team put this in!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tarroyo:
Yes Cyanogen still has a G2 device I saw it in the github release notes and the wiki that he'll still be maintaining it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] merdely:
This has been fixed with the following commit: http://r.cyanogenmod.com/#change,14142

Can't install big apps anymore (like titanium backup): not enough free space (270MB free): how could I solve this ? with an a2sdext script?

Nightly x99 (31-03).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] robuser007:
Installing apps via droidexplorer (adb) gives no problem for some apps (with a2sd), but titanium backup just doesn't install :(

How should I solve this ? wipe something from an system setting ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] damngood98:
not really following.....did titanium install? if you did get it get it to install, check a few of your settings. usb debugging should be checked. under applications, where are you installing them? you can choose with cm7. are you out of room? don't keep too many nandroids, that'll fill up your memory quickly as well.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] piruzinho:
Do I install Kang's nightly's the same way I would install any ROM? I have this PIN issue and I really want to fix it up. Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] damngood98:
yeah, install exactly the same. usually a good idea to do a backup, just in case, cause you never really know ;)

Question, i want to try a cm rom, never used cm before always virtuous and ics roms...

Should i download the rc 7.2 rom released 2 weeks ago or the kang build in the link a few pages back???

Thnx
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Spastic909:
7.2 came out a lot longer than 2 weeks ago. These are nightlies. Rc more stable

Its up to u
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NoFatePPC:
cm 7.2 was released 18 / 03 :-)

thats not 3 weeks :)

well ill start with the RC i think :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
Are you saying the RC is more stable from experience? Usually, outdated RCs are actually much less stable than nightlies with many bug fixes/optimizations made since then, given that nothing else was broken along the way (nothing was broken in our case). For our device in the past 6 months at least, nightlies were always the better option as the stable releases were way too far in between.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
7.2RC0 is pretty new. I wouldn't expect there to be many changes, if any, since then.

Has anyone got a link to an up-to-date changelog though ? The old site stopped showing the CM7 changelog.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I was asking for the up-to-the-minute changelog, the more useful one for this thread (nightlies).

The old one was at http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=vision , but a while back that site (not specifically a part of official CM) stopped including CM7 info there and only shows CM9.

g2 is my wife's phone. she's running the rc but having several problems maybe someone could help me with.

i guess she's seeing a lot of fc with car home. she doesn't use it. i've uninstalled it with titanium. but it still pops up...:confused:

secondly, every time she uses the actual phone, it seems to be on speaker phone by default, possibly related to car i'm thinking. i've got a gs2 and our cm7 isn't stable enough imho so i really haven't used cm for some time. if there's a setting i've overlooked or if someone has another idea i'd greatly appreciate some feedback. thanks in advance :cool:

edit: btw, after flashing it directly & seeing this i did a full wipe w/a fresh install. permissions have been fixed as well.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tarroyo:
Is anyone seeing a 'double space' bug with the latest nightlies? It was either the april 2nd or 3 nightly where I started seeing this issue.

What happens is when I type a sentence and press the spacebar it spaces twices instead of once! I noticed this happening the past few days, It doesn't happen all time but when your a frequent texter it gets really annoying.

I'm thinking this could be a hardware problem, Which is weird being that I've never dropped my G2. Before I ask for a replacement thought I'd post here. Btw I superwiped flashed tonights april 10th nightly and am still seeing this issue :-\
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sisterchick:
No double space here...

I installed Gee One's Apr 10 nightly and I'm not seeing double spaces. I installed over the previous nightly I had on board. (Not a clean install.)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tarroyo:
I have a replacement device on the way, Will root and flash another nightly to see if the issue is still present.

If it is maybe someone can file this as a bug under CM github???

Battery Drain on Busy Wifi Network

When I'm home, I have Wifi turned on and I get amazing battery life. If I don't go out for a couple days, I would get 3+ days of life. A typical day means that I turn off Wifi when I'm not home and my battery definitely drains faster on 3G. So a typical work day used to leave me with about 20% battery when I go to bed. As I'm home, I turn on wifi, and usually wake up to 19% if I didn't charge over night. So, wifi is awesome at home.

Recently, I took a new job which offers Wifi in the office. I'd disable Wifi during the drive and then enable it when I got to work. I am close to the WAP so there are no signal distance issues. But, after working from 10 AM (battery at 90+%) and leaving at 6:30 PM (battery at 17+%), I started to wonder if it was that there are a lot more wireless users on my work network than my home network.

Today I didn't enable Wifi when I got to work and left 3G active (my default action is to disable 3G when I'm on Wifi). When I left the office (after about 6 hours), I was at 90%.

Does anyone know how to conserve battery life on a busy Wifi network?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tarroyo:
Those of you that were curious to know what type of servers Cyanogen was using for CM9, three Dell R610s each server packs dual Xeon X5675 CPUs for a whopping 12 cores and a drool-worthy 32GB of RAM!

Yeah, I'm on Andromadus audacity as well. There aren't frequent enough changes to do nightly builds... yet. It is well enough along and most things are working as expected. I did have to switch to a faster governor, which seems to help with the app switching lag.

Just a heads up about the kangs- I'm planning on moving some hardware around, so the builds might be offline at some point this weekend. I'll be experimenting with a virtual machine and/or building in ubuntu 12.04, so there are no promises that it will be up and running soon.

Currently, the I have a ubuntu box running 10.04 server for building and a little box with various versions of ubuntu/hackintosh as a desktop environment. I'm trying to consolidate to one computer and not break build compatibility with android.

In other news, it looks like CM7 might go to weekly builds and CM9 is just around the corner.

No kang tonight, but things should be back up sooner than later. Here's the progress so far... After 4.5 hours, things are looking good. I need a few more SATA power cables for the extra hard drives and I should be back in business. The BIOS posted and I'm running mem test overnight. Once I get power to the drives, I can cook kangs from the USB drive if I need to.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gee one:
Another update- the new box is great, but the old USB drive with 10.04 doesn't play nicely with my new network card. The kangs will probably be down until this weekend when I can get more time to set up a new build environment.

They did post (via G+) that http downloads are now enabled, but my guess is the servers have indeed crashed, hopefully might be working later ?

Thanks to pfak for the server space.

I built it manually, but at least I know the build environment plays nicely with my video card. I think the last time I was a bit ambitious and installed too many packages and somehow managed to break compatibilty with my video card. I should be able to switch back to automatic nightly kangs easily, so thanks for being patient while I got things sorted out. I'm now running ubuntu 12.04 as a desktop environment and a build environment.

Thanks gee one. Rather use yours than rom manager version now. Its been hit and miss.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Chem23:
Very weird things going on with both the RC2 and Nightly build.

1) Home button doesn't do anything.

2) If I try and call the mobile, the call gets diverted immediately

3) No sounds appear to be working. Checked all sound/volume settings.

What I did after flashing and installing gapps was to use Mybackup Pro to reinstall my apps and all data/settings. Could there be a problem with this?

Please help!! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nospin:
Make sure before you flashed you wiped (full if coming from a different ROM, only dalvik and cache if coming from recent CM7. Never restore system settings, causes more headaches than anything. You can restore user apps/data, but restoring system apps and data will break things.

Currently on RC2 and having no issues.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Chem23:
Thanks for replying.

I've been doing the factory reset, cache partition wipe and dalvik wipe before every flash. I've just flashed once again without restoring any mybackup pro settings and the home button still doesn't do much. If I click on the clock, the home button closes it and takes me to the homescreen but any other app and the home button does nothing. Also a long press of the home button doesn't take me to recent apps. A bit strange.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sahurbari:
I haven't experienced any problems at all that's very strange I'm running the latest from gee one.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Chem23:
Could it possibly be something to do with my version of the phone? It's a UK HTC Desire Z. I was running an old version of CM7 up until now which was working fine but I fancied an update.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sahurbari:
To be completely honest I don't know and I don't want to say yes or no sorry I couldn't answer that for but I wouldn't think so since a lot of your issues we're software related.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Chem23:
No problems sahurbari :) I tried twice again to flash and can't seem to eradicate the issue. I'm now running MexFroidMod and although it's not what I was intending to install I've not had any real problems with it so far and the phone seems to be quite snappy!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fermunky:
Man, just came back to these roms after torturing myself with various ICS roms. Nice to have a snappy phone again, AND a working ".com" button!

Quick question since I am certainly not going to find it within the 12,325 posts prior to mine... I think I remember previuously being able to simply flash the new nightly over top of my current one, that still accurate?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Flash this:

http://db.tt/xoO4fHpM

It will properly format all your partitions for a fresh install of a new ROM. (Superwipe)

then flash the CM nightly followed by gapps. As soon as the phone boots and you gwy through the setup prompts, test your home button. CM should work fine with your phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Correct
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Chem23:
I'd love to be able to test this but I've now got meXdroidMod installed, spent a few hours configuring it to my liking and it's running wonderfully well. I will, however, use Superwipe next time I experiement with CM7. Thank you :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fermunky:
Interesting. I had a Q&A thread about going from ICS back to GB and someone mentioned formatting my partitions to ext4. Since I onyl really root my devices to do wifi hotspots, I did not remember doing anything special to get my partitions to ext4. However, mine were already. Is that because I have always used Superwipe when wanting to clear out my phone?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gee one:
Ok, I think the kangs should be back on the usual schedule. I had some weirdness with repo that would cause the sync to hang forever. I saw there was a new version of repo available and all seems well after upgrading. We'll find out tonight. Of course, I'm travelling again this weekend, but I set up ssh before I left. If I read the commit properly, there should be a new version of busybox installed tonight.

A bit off topic, but I used to have an overnight virus scan run and my computer would email me the results. Every once in a while, the email command would get messed up and it would send the same email over and over and over... Of course, this happened one weekend when I was away, and I woke up with over 400 emails and it was still sending! I had ssh set up, so I was able to log in and stop the emails. I thought my isp was going to shut me down for spamming. I've since added a counter to the script to stop it if it starts to get out of hand.
