[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
What are you talking about?

I went from stock to cm7 rc1 and haven't had any issues through rc4. Ive had the actual quantifiable bugs seen in the tracker, but it's been my daily driver throughout this phones life.

Smooth as silk.

Just wipe everything first.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Modernly:
I've gone from stock to CM 6, then once CM7 RC1 came out I wiped and went to that and all the way up to RC3 (No nightlies).

Also no issues that stopped me from using the ROM as a daily driver.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jomaxwel:
I have been having issues with some widgets not updating properly and shortcuts on the hard keyboard turning on without me doing anything. I found that I can fix the shortcuts by hitting the search key. The widgets I am unable to get to update consistently (setcpu, pandora, scoreboard).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrPaveL:
Guys, it's just me, or what?

I'm having this issue with a radio, when I put my phone to sleep it resets the signal. I know this has been here before, but I'm suprised it has gotten into RC.

I can't debug it right now, but I bet it's htc_ril again.

Also I've flashed it over latest nightly, not sure whether wiping phone would fix it.

I've got a huge problem. Everything time i wanne call, my phones goes into Airplane mode. So when i put my phone by my head, it goes to airplane mode. There's something wrong with the sensor i think, cause when i do it with speaker, it works fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
First off, you don't need CWM 2.5.1.3 anymore to flash froyo roms. the New CWM 3.0.0.5 works with both 2.2 and 2.3 roms just as an FYI.

Working to dissect and answer the rest of your issues.

When I first started flashing the nightlies (around #30) I had the exact same issue as you, trying to touch the android to start the initial setup (I also had a non-functioning home button, which made it worse). If you can, do a full data/cache/dalvik wipe and just flash the rom, then the Gapps, and boot up. Then after touching the android to start setup (assuming it works this time) just bypass the entire setup, dont add your gmail or commit to anything (this made the market all f*cked for me when I did it the first time). Just get to the homescreen. After this, manually add your gmail account in settings, do a reboot, and continue with your normal setup. DONT import 12,000 text messages, which for whatever reason you have... the messaging app is going to crash trying to handle them. Its best to start off completely fresh with no reversed data when going from 2.2 to 2.3 imho.

This is about all I can offer because this is what worked for me. Just try to start fresh.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NoFatePPC:
what is actually the difference between this rom and the nightly roms??

i am new to this... :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
I confirm.. had this issue before, have it again in RC
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martonikaj:
This is effectively just the next nightly release, but it has been deemed stable enough to earn a Release Candidate name.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Nothing. it's still a build. Just Cyanogen and his team thinks its stable, so they release it to the public.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] broodplank:
Same here, so i am downgrading to CM 6.1. What a shame
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
you can push htc_ril.lib or similar from latest nightly build.. it should work.. I will write detailed instructions, just to find some time and test.

as far as I remember it was only happening on HTC Desire Z european models, anyone can confirm that G2 does not have same issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] oldsk00lz:
First off... congrats Cyanogen... I think the nightlies have been pretty stable for awhile, and think lots of people will like the new RC. I know I am digging it.

For those with download issues, I use firefox for downloads and it works every time. Am thinking it is the native browser that has issues with downloads.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shluggity:
Another case of a Desire Z with non-functional wi-fi here. Wi-fi will turn on but deactivates itself after a short period. The wifi notification icon never appears, no APs are ever discovered, and no MAC address is shown in About phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
For those having lost signal issue this is how I did it.

Used libhtc_ril.so from nightly build (attached, unzip). Placed it in same directory where adb.exe is.

Opened command prompt and connected Desire Z

adb remount
adb push libhtc_ril.so /system/lib/libhtc_ril.so

Restarted phone. It worked in my case, hopefully it will help some, I take no responsibility whatsoever :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
Reboot. Few times if needed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] broodplank:
I don't have ADB and i also have a mac. Can't you do it for me and then up the ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
sorry, upload is blocked at work.. so only when I come home in about 8 hours or so.

you can download Root Explorer from market, download file and try overwriting it (press Mount R/W before overwriting).. didn't test if it will work this way.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dekeijzer:
Worst excuse ever!

Attached is adb for mac (rename it to "adb", don't try to unzip it it just added .zip to allow xda upload!)

Then use the terminal, place the "adb" executable and the "libhtc_ril.so" in the same folder, make adb executable "chmod +x adb" and then enter the commands

"adb remount", "adb push libhtc_ril.so /system/lib/libhtc_ril.so", "adb reboot"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] itp:
I'm having the same GPS issues that some others are reporting -- with RC1 (just like nightly builds 37 and 38 before it), starting GPS doesn't work at all. No icon in the status bar, etc. Pushing /system/lib/hw/gps.vision.so from an older build does the trick.

If I have time at work later today I'll give a shot at using git to figure out the commit that started the trouble. It's very curious that it obviously works for at least some people, but is broken for a substantial number as well.

My phone is a T-Mobile G2, for whatever it's worth.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
Congratulations on the release Cyanogenmod team!

Whats up with the latest being Team Douche, with new boot animation? I flashed it, and it didn't have my google account, or any options to add google account. My facebook account was still listed though. I had to restore my NAND

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] linkandzelda:
Hey this is a great rom i'm currently running it and its awesome!

I would like to report a bug though, after a fresh flash i always configure my settings before anything else. So i turn on wifi, nothing shows up so i go back to the main settings page and try going in again. Thats when it gets stuck on a boot loop and i have to remove the battery. Once i turn it on again its fine from then on. Just thought i would point it out.

Also, i know we can overclock up to like 1.5ghz but really how safe is that? I know the battery will go down and it will probably get hot etc. I'm worried about the safeness seeing as i just bought my Desire Z a few days ago, dont wanna shorten its life too much... Having said that i run it on 1.2 for games and it heats up slightly. Then at other times its on 1ghz max and that is fine.

Thanks in advance,

Kris
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
1.5GHZ is safe.. I used to run that constantly for days (using ondemand, then interactive govern).. but now I stay at 1.2GHz max now since it plays nice with the backlight + off animation.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] linkandzelda:
Ah I see well, any way to manually set vsel for all of these? I would like to play around with the lowest vsel possible to save as much battery as possible!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nitemare3219:
I'm not really sure if this has been brought up previously, but when I was using a Sense ROM a few months ago I had very good WiFi receiving strength. I remember working outside my house and I was able to go a good 35+~ yards from my router, which is inside the middle of my house, and still stream Pandora, however any further and it would start to cut out a bit. Today I did the same thing and tried going out of my house a mere 15-20 yards from the router and my phone was struggling to keep a WiFi signal at all to stream Pandora. Is there any reason in such a difference in signal strength between the Sense ROM I was using (EvilVillain's) a few months ago to CM7? Even in my bedroom I notice that WiFi strength is pretty low compared to what it would be with that Sense ROM, it doesn't cause problems generally but is kind of annoying at times.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eunkipark92:
Flash the gingerbread radio and see if that fixes your problem, for me the signal strength improved significantly
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mylenthes:
Where is the gingerbread radio can you link the thread with instructions?

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
There is no such thing as a "Gingerbread Radio".

There are a few radios that are good. I'm currently on the .26 (T-Mobile OTA radio) and have also tried .27 (AUS Hutch radio). Both work well.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
seems to be working fine here.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bonstio:
Thanks for the reply.

I reverted to the stocked kernel instead of pershoot and dropped profiles from SetCPU. Still the problem remained. Then I disabled the screen on animation (screen off animation was already disabled). Symptoms seem to have good. The screen comes on reliably now.

I'm not sure what combination of options is the exact work around. I'll switch back to Pershoot and reenable profiles and try and narrow it down but it seems like a bug with the screen on / off animations.

Cheers for the help.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] schaggo:
No you hadn't to restore your nand but use the search function of the forums.

It would have told you to get the newest Google Apps package currently dated March 7th.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
For anyone interested in trying something new, I've been using different transition animations in rc4. There's actually quite a few of these around the internet this particular set is the fly in animation and the flip animation. Kinda spruces things up.

Flash from recovery. Framework is modified, please nandroid first.

View attachment Better-Transitions-CM7-rc4.zip
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mylenthes:
The transition cm7 sent me into a bootloop. I didnt wipe anything as I assumed it could be flashed over cm7 rc4.

Edit:I restored my nandroid and tried flashing it again and it worked. Wierd.

Edit 2: I love it except I don't like the transition when your in an app. Everything else is great though
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] convolution:
K I used this for RC4, and am in the middle of rebooting my phone... Hopefully it works.

EDIT: Doesn't work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Search the market for a app called Anim Mod. It give you a choice of about 7 transition animations and you can change with the press of a button
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mylenthes:
I found it and I dont want to pay for something like this, especially when one is offered for free right here.

I found a transition I like, its called fold.

I dont know if the person who made the modified cm7 can also make a fold one.

i recommend flyin and flip (flyinflip-transition).

I've tried that radio with cm7-rc4 and like many others have reported, battery drain is very high. Other than that it worked fine on nordic/swedish DZ. I will go back to an older radio though.

You will get high battery drain on the latest radios unless you install matching ril files in system/lib. rmk40 released an autopatcher that supports the latest radios.

I don't have high drain with the latest htc test rom radio on the cm rc4 ril files.

I've just installed this rom, let me first say, AWSOME rom. Really love it, its quick and perfect.

Only problem I have so far is: when I want to enter the sound setting I get a FC on those settings.

Error code: The application Setting (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Hope this was useful and you can fix this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
did you wipe before flashing? sounds like a corrupt flash or possibly as simple as a UID mismatch.

run fix_permissions and reboot see if the problem persists, if it does, flash cm7 right over the top of your current installation.

last and worse case scenario, do a complete data/cache/system wipe and reload.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JamesB009:
Thnx for the quick reply. The fix_permissions didn't work. But cause of titanium backup if didn't loose my last settings I just can't adjust them right now. I'll just leave it like this I reckon.

Wifi was on for about 4hr 30min

Screen was on for about 3 hrs

3g off all day. Don't have data plan

Ya know, I flashed RC4 on an Evo and had nothing but problems. On my G2 it's seemingly flawless. No wifi calling issue but I never use the app, I might not even have it idk. I may or may not have a slight decrease in battery life, but I might just be imagining. If I do have a decrease it's nominal.

Am I the only one with poor battery life on CM7? I get 40+ hours of moderate usage with my Mugen on virtuoso 1.01 but with CM7 I can barely get 12 hours with light usage. I'm trying 6.1.1 to see if I get the same problem

I wouldn't mind 12 hours of moderate usage. However, 10-12 hours of standby is not just abysmal. That's the kind of battery life I got from cm7 =/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] infamousjax:
I've said it before and I'll say it again...

The reason you're getting bad battery life is not CM7's fault. It's either the services you have running, applications running in the background, or your radio.
