Noticed something strange ever since I flashed to this ROM. When activating wi-fi tethering I can no longer protect the access. Prior to this, I was 2.2, rooted, and was able to protect it.

Not sure if this has to do with the ROM though?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
Will check and get back to you on that issue
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Gonna try your rom now xboarder after reading so many good things and seeing how hands on and involved you are, I gotta check it out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adamhlj:
I noticed another small bug. If I am listening to music and then need to make a call, after I am done calling, the music doesn't resume like it would on my n1 stock ginger bread.

Also, is there any way you could incorporate a battery meter that has the percentage with a circle indicating the level surrounding the number? I think that on the home page, it featured something similar, but I don't know how to add those separate files in.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
Go to settings-Cyanogenmod settings- Interface-Status bar tweaks-Batery percentage. CHeck box and reboot :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] iucidium:
Im getting about 24 hours battery life out this ROM. Just checked battery usage and 'Android system' is using

42% and 'display' is only around 4%

Why is this??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] d@rklink:
I'm on 8 and a half hours right now and android system is showing at 10%. Cell standby is the largest at 41%. Did you wipe battery stats after flashing the ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
i wiped everything and i get 28% cell standby wifi 25% android system 10% and Phone idle 23%
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Carphedon:
I got Mobile standby 29%, Display 8%, Android system 6% and 5% wifi.

Thanks for this wonderfull rom! Until now i always used virtuous but i wanted to try a non sense rom. I installed your rom and i like this very much. It's very clean, which i like and i can configure everything how i want it to through cyanogenmod settings.

Thanks for your hard work!

Oh one thing, when i go to cyanogenmod settings, system and press Anonymous statistics i get a force close. Is this because you disabled them already?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
yes i disabled them by removing the app i got to remove the menu though
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Carphedon:
Hey xboarder56, i would like to ask if it is possible to have more volume steps when playing music. Now, when i listen music, music is either to loud or to soft. I would love some more in between steps.

kind regards
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
I can try and look into it man :) idk becuase I have never done that lol but ill check
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] iucidium:
Hi Xboarder

I got 24 hours out this baby!

And thats moderate/heavy web, lots of Youtube and calling.

Shes a masterpiece!!!

I prayed for a ANAD (as near as damn) stock Gingerbread ROM - you answered my prayers!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
V1.8.5 released (no wipe required)

- fixed phone.apk slider bar issue

- http://www.multiupload.com/FXXQE6RXFI

- Enjoy :)

ftp niksie gonna be up soon if you use that one
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Carphedon:
About to install, thanks for your hard work.

Which radio matches the RIL libraries that are included in this rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
not sure but i just use the ril matcher from rnk
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Carphedon:
Are you sure this works correct? (no reception issues or battery drains) RMK explicitly mentions this:

"I do not recommend using this patch with Cyanogenmod or any other AOSP ROMs. There is ongoing debate about this subject but I have witnessed issues first-hand after replacing the Cyanogen-provided libs (v7) with my own. Also, I encourage making a nandroid backup prior to using this patch, so that you can restore if you are displeased with results."

When i used the ril matcher with 26.06.02.27_M radio installed signal would spontaniously drop some times. Maybe i will try again :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
it worked fine for me but make sure to backup :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
does anyone want the full swype or is english/spanish fine let me know becuase i will add full if needed

im just gonna add it anyway

tryed spring fix and it worked great with a 31lb spring :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
Xboarder56 v1.9 released :D

changelog updated (no wipe required but recomened)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Niksie:
Thnx!

Mirror is up and running......
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Carphedon:
Dutch would be great :D Oh and talking about languages. Could you add the English (Dutch) locale, would be great 2 :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Update already? Ahaha thanks man
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
I am on 1.8.4 and downloaded 1.9.

For some reason when I wipe data+cache+davlik and then flash 1.9, it will not go past the white HTC screen and will not boot up. I have restored my backup of 1.8.4 and that is working fine.

Any suggestions?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] iucidium:
Xboarder, has Quick Key support been added? Just tried using it with no sucess
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Carphedon:
I dislike the new kernel, it's less responsive and it lacks interactive governor, which kernel did you use in previous release?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mujaahidali:
This is probably a really silly question, but im new to android, coming from a wm phone. was going to update, and looking at the instructions, it looks pretty easy:

1. Boot into recovery, etc etc etc..

Do i need to root my phone (still trying to figure out what that actually does)?

Or is it as simple as the instructions on the first post - also is there a way to back up my current rom, incase the update doesnt work? Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nmadd:
Yes, you need to root. See the stickies at the top of this forum for assistance. They are quite helpful.

Once you've installed your Clockworkmod recovery, you'll see a "backup" option in the menu.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
You will need to root your phone, there are a few guides on here that will help you through doing it.

Rooting gives you access to the root directory and system files. Basically administrator access and the ability to improve or brick your phone. ;)

It seems like a massive task at first but once you have done it you will realise that all that worrying was for no reason :)

You will need to find out what version you are running on at the moment as I was on the latest version which closed a lot of the loopholes used to permanent root my phone so I had to revert to an earlier version before I could do that. That was the hardest part and I hope you don't have to go through that as well haha.

Have a read though the guides and if you are still stuck, post in the Q&A. The people on this forum are really helpful and you will be rooted in no time! :)

Hope this helps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Niksie:
Re-download and try again perhaps.... I flashed it with RomManager, wiped cache and data and it's running just fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
I'll have to later on tonight I guess. How strange...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
The old kernel was cyanogenmod 7 one but flash fluppys kernel it works great
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Carphedon:
I searched around for the cyanogenmod kernel but i can't seem to find it, can you point me in the right direction :) Never heard of fluppys kernel, it's the pershoot kernel that is included right?

Here's flippy's: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=839687
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Niksie:
1.9 is indeed faster:

Quadrant Standard:

Stock speed: 1935

1500Mz: 2902
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
gonna test v1.9.1 gonna see if everything works changed kernel back to cyanogenmod updated
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Not to be off topic but I have always wondered where to find the straight vanilla cyanogen kernel by itself also.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
i can give you the files boot.img and the wifi from the latest build in zip i just pull them from the builds everytime a new one comes out

DONT FLASH ZIP it doesnt have a script to flash just unzip and replace files in any rom you want

once flippys kernel is updated to fix usb issues i will use that one it works the best for speed/overclock/battery life
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Niksie:
I'm curious, what you expect to gain from switching to the cyanogenmod kernel?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
not much you actually loose a little speed, just that everyone can flash the preshoot or anyother kernel but if they want cyanogenmod kernel its a pain for them to replace it back

the cyanogenmod kernel actally runs a bit slower i get a 1600 in quadrent

Im not gonna change back to cyanogenmod kernel gonna stick with preshoots it runs faster
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nined1talon:
I use Linpack to do comparisons mostly because they are usually more consistent numbers. I've gotten my highest numbers with Flippy's kernel @ 1.9 ghz. I've compared his to pershoot's kernel with both set at 1.5 ghz. With the on demand governor flippy's will usually score between 45-52 mflops with a lot of variance. With pershoots kernel using the on demand governor I get a consistent 54+ mflops. When changing to the performance governor Flippy's becomes more consistent. For the most part pershoot's kernel seems smoother more of the time, while the ability to clock higher makes Flippy's the all out fastest.

2.3.3 GB+1.9ghz G2 = 63mflops/3400 quadrant. Dual core what?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
ok thats good to know i will keep preshoots a while until flippys usb is fixed :D

hows v1.9 working for everyone?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Carphedon:
I like pershoot better, the only thing i dislike about it is that is does not the interactive governor. The interactive governor makes the phone mutch snappier and is best for screen off profile. But the argument above are enough to not switch :)

1.9 release works great so far. I have one issue though, WIFI performance apears to be less consistent in 1.9 release. Constantly 1 bar where i would normally get 2 or 3 bars.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
That's due to preshoot kernel wifi modle
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] iucidium:
xBoarder, £ symbol (FN+z) doesnt work on physical keyboard - same as Quick keys 1 and 2.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Been a problem on most CM7 based roms for a while download the .zip from here and flash in recovery
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
Will include fix in next release built into rom :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kohr-Ah:
Mine runs great with no issues.

Wifi I get same bars as before. No force closes yet.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
1.9 runs solid. No issues that I can see. WiFi seems to be as good as recent builds, much better than the early builds.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
does anyone with 4g want to test v1.9.1 i want to make sure icons work :D

the keyfix is also included the beta is at:

ftp://thuis.niksie.nl/HTC Desire Z - G2/Stock Gingerbread (xboarder56)/

- keyfix

- 4g icons instead of hspa+

post what you think in thread

Installing it now to test...

UPDATE: Looks like I'm seeing the H icon for a brief moment before the 4G icon shows up. QuickKeys seem to be working fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mnementh666:
Quick keys don't work. maybe I'm not doing something correct... I never use 'em anyway.

4G icon works.

Thanks d00d. I LOVE this rom :D

GPS fix

Thanks for the GSP fix X! I am still having issues unmounting the SDcard though; any fixes for this? I am on 1.8.5 and the sd card issue has been consistent for me from I thinking 1.8.4 but maybe a bit earlier.

When I apply the GPS fix for the "dd if=/dev/zero..." lines I get the following error after both lines - "write error: No space left on device 6145+0 records in 6144+0 records out 3145728 bytes transferred in 1.185 secs (2654622 bytes/sec)"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] riahc3:
I should remind that the Desire Z is NOT "4G" capable...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
G2 is though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
Will remove 4g and try and make optional flash zip
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adamhlj:
I don't really understand what has happened, but I backed up my apps, did a full wipe after I loaded up 1.9. I started putting everything back, did some tests and some small things like the lock screen sounds were working. Well, after I had everything back on my phone, today the lock screen sound isn't working again, lol. And the screen doesn't come on sometimes, though it appears to be receiving input, which to my understanding is just a result of the overclocking. Just little things, really. I don't really know much about programing, but over-all, I love this ROM and phone! I have changed the splash image and boot animation to different features which I like. Great job, xboarder!

Just a side note, I sometimes don't think the G2 is an ample 4G phone. I have maybe once gotten above 3 down and almost always less than 1 up.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jeffakajeff:
Ill test it out
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nined1talon:
The speed depends on your location. In my relatively small city, the fastest I've seen is 2.5 megs download. In nearby Houston I've gotten 10+ meg p/s download speeds. That or your phone/software has issues. The G2 is plenty capable of high data speeds.

2.3.3 GB+1.9ghz G2 = 63mflops/3400 quadrant. Dual core what?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hogg2500:
Is there any progress in the AOSP Build? Are you still having the Keyboard issue? Was there any other ones?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dude8383:
So v 1.9 is no longer running cyanogenmod7? Is there a going to be a visual difference between teh two? Obviously the settings are going to be different. Just curious what I could potentially lose...I've been really enjoying v 1.8.4 even though I'm d/ling 1.8.5 now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
It is still CM7, just pershoot's kernel from what I understand.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] d@rklink:
If you go into settings you'll still see cyanogenmod settings as an option. Its just the pershoots kernel in this build. I've been loving this ROM and 1.9 has been nothing but smooth and fast for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adamhlj:
I think this version really did a number on my battery. It was completely drained when I took it out to check on it just now. At least I hope that is what it was.

Edit: Well, it wasn't drained. It had just turned off. I had to pull the battery out and put it back in to get it to boot back up. Odd.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
disregard

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adamhlj:
Has this affected your battery life much?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
Not for me I have listen to music 30 minutes and teather for hour and still 60 precent
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nined1talon:
Lol...those are just my highest benchmarks. I keep it set around 1200 mhz usually. Running it maxed out with the performance governor will devour your battery faster than a box of twinkies snuck into a fat camp.

2.3.3 GB+1.9ghz G2 = 63mflops/3400 quadrant. Dual core what?

4g icons uploaded in zip for the g2 users that wnat them in first post :D it should work on v1.8+
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Delta105RUS:
Just moved to this rom from virtuose sense. I wanted something different and this rom delivered. Gonna try the 4g icon zip.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
tell me what you think of the icon mod
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Delta105RUS:
Well I don't see the 4g icon... however it's entirely possible that I don't HAVE 4g at my house... still is a great rom.

Btw...I did not read the whole 600+ comments, but do many people have the wake issue when they have CPU set high? Back on vituose we had a whole bunch of kernels. Some worked and some didn't.

I am ok with the 245-806 speed (it's a fast ROM) but just wondering.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
ya if you go above 1.2ghz with screen on/off animation then it does the issue but just remove the screen on/off and no more lag :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
I'm liking the new 4g icon.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Delta105RUS:
Tnx for the tip, but for now I'm loving the on/off animations. And (& this is a big and) this rom is about 99999999999999999999999999 times faster then sense.

Good job.

YOU deserve a COOKIE!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Delta105RUS:
A thought: try putting the battery percentage into the battery icon. Maybe sideways.

UPDATE: I see 4g icon! Cool!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
Nice do you like it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DaygosTommyT:
4g icon is legit! feel like a baller when i look at my buddies droid incredible and see his dinky 3g icon. Plus here in San Diego, we tested our speeds on speedtest and i was consistantly higher than him (T-Mo>Verizon). This rom made me fall in love with stock android, i used to love sense, but this is amazingly fast! Dual-what? lol. I prefer to use launcher pro and just use icons to give it that stock feel, but tweak the setting and i like the launcher pro plus widgets.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
They have that in a guys mod called smoothsense. It is quite nice. I wonder if it will port.... Sounds like a good idea though, the percentage now is next to a small bar instead of inside the battery, would look better I think

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
If you got them working that would be amazing, smoothsense is really really good!

I didn't mention it before because I thought since it was sense it wouldn't work..

xboarder56 - legendary dev :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
you could always modify the battery percentage pngs yourself and add percentage.. I did this for myself and it was tedious but not hard to do. looks good too.

I would just give you my framework apk, but my battery icon is all white with black border & text so it won't really fit with the gingerbread status bar.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Carphedon:
Atleast make it optional, i hate the smooth sense icons. I like the minimalistic percentage with the bar next to it, like it is now. If i wanted sense i was still running virtuous.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adamhlj:
Anyone having issues with facebook suddenly? I can't go into messages, profile, or friends from the app.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DaygosTommyT:
I too am having the same issues with facebook...I think its the app, not the rom, if u look at some of the comments on the android market.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adamhlj:
Yeah, I just did. I wonder what is causing the problems.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
+1, gonna have to agree with GiGi, thought this rom was suppose to be "Stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 v1.9", I don't mind sense, but the reason I'm on this rom is for the stock gingerbread feel.....my 2 cents.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hogg2500:
Yes I have to agree. We are shooting for a almost stock build until a AOSP Build can be done. Stay as pure Gingerbread as you can. No sense, or anything like that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
ok i will make it a add on :D if i can get it to work :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] charliehustl415:
Man I love this rom, I agree let's keep it as stock as possible but I do love CM7 add ons, is there anyway to get rid of the superfluous menus that force close?

I have to admit, I have tried every rom out there, and this is the fastest most stable one there is!!! Really appreciate the hard work and dedication!! Thanks bro!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AquaG2:
Correction:) XBOARDER Sorry using new keyboard
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
lol its fine bro
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
I have to say at first I was completely skeptical of this AOSP project because most people just alter Cyanogenmod with a few APKs and a theme and call it theirs. However I kept checking in on this thread, seeing great reviews, and bugs being fix. This was not like the other roms in the aspect that you first made your own before Cyanogenmod. Right before I tried out this rom today I was worried that I would miss the little things from Cyanogenmod. However when I flashed this, and booted it up I could tell the speed difference, the stability, and it had all the little goodies from Cyanogenmod. This made me extremely happy.This ROM is by far the most stable, smoothest feeling ROM in the G2 dev section, and congratulations on how far you made it. Keep up the fantastic work! I look forward to future releases!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] techemically:
I have to agree! Any small issue I have had and any little request I have seen others post all get at least attention and responses; most get built into the rom. This is quite stable and amazingly fast. I have tried a few other roms as well and won't touch any others again! This is by far the best thing going for G2 users, thanks again for all your hard work and dedication.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
Your welcome everyone :) gonna wait a few days on v1.9.1

-will have updated base

- updated libs

- some possible other fixes

-keyboard fix :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arpitnathany:
Wow this is an amazing rom, smooth and ultra fast.

i have a few problems with this, first the wifi performance is very poor (coming from stock sense) i am frequenting two bars when earlier there were 4, consequently wifi is also using a little bit more battery i am thinking these two problems are related.

please note that i have set wifi sleep to never as i need push notifications. (same config as my previous rom)

secondly scrolling panning and zooming in the stock browser is very choppy i am guessing this is a stock gingerbread thing as it is not hardware accelerated.

is there an always on data option

otherwise this rom is as solid as they come. and the support is awesome
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
Ya for phone data don't know about wifi though
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arpitnathany:
i am looking for the always on mobile data but cant find it there is only data on/off option

This rom and Pyromod are the best G2 roms out there.

I'm always recommending this rom to those new to flashing roms.

I have to say that battery life is great with this rom, 1 day and 17h and still 24 percent left with moderate usage :D
