[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
WOW! Just loaded this up and can not believe the speed. Great work, looking forward to future updates. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Lol same. That's the reason I like this rom. I can't wait untill its close to stock
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
Found a little problem. Seems like this is off of CM nightly 37 which suffers with the date problem where it does not show when you draw down the notification bar. It was fixed in 38, not sure if you were planning on using it in 1.8 or not.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
Fixed in next build :) and mms just tested it :)

Update: gonna release today if i fix the last bug :)

uploading v1.8 :D if someone can make a video review of this rom it would be great i will post it in the first page of the thread :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
V1.8 released :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dlo5:
Anyway to do the trackpad unlock and remove the lockscreen??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
I dont think so but you can do trackpad unlock
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] travisd4est:
Trackball wake works, also just go into settings>CM settings> and go to lockscreen and enable trackball unlock and then remove lockscreen.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
Great update. I hope CM works on the battery consumption, the last few nightlys have been killers.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
i have made this built better on battery life with a few tweaks and it will last all day with moderate usage and a overclock to 1.2ghz :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Im Too Legendary:
I'm really loving this! Keep up the fantastic work man; as such I look forward to your future releases! :)

In addition, I myself haven't come across any "bugs" or nuances - runs flawless and incredibly fast!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] travisd4est:
Im set at 1.1ghz and have screen off profile at 380 max and 245 min. So in other words... whats a charger? Ha its amazing. Plus for you quad peeps I'm pulling 1945
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dlo5:
great build!!! works awesome
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
Just a heads up, but thought you might like to know that cm7 stable has landed. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adamhlj:
I can try doing a video of the ROM. Are there any key points you want me to touch on?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adamhlj:
My picture in text messaging threads is still all gray with no way to select it. I'll try to take a picture of it an upload. I don't know if there is a particular setting somewhere else that I am missing?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
Anyone else stuck on edge network after 1.8 update? I looked at the status in phone settings to make sure my status bar wasn't screwing with me, and it said edge also. Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
I had to change my APN's to get everything working correctly. I use T-Mobile so I removed the "Simple" APN and only have two, one for data, one for MMS. You can see them here: https://sites.google.com/a/wbkl.com/mms/apn-settings-g2

EDIT: Well, now I am into my work day, and noticed that it shows Edge where I know I am 4G. Went into Settings for Mobile Networks and saw that 2G networks only was checked. Turned it off and back on 4G. This happens because of the WiFi calling app I believe. When it connects it make changes to 2G in lieu of QOS I am guessing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
This is based on stable version becyase nightly 38 and stable have no changes between them :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tmender:
phone.apk seems broke again when answering calls. The slider bar seems to be mal-aligned. It does still work though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
Ok will look into it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
Marvelous! Mine was set to 2G only also. Thanks a ton!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] phunky1:
just wondering when i'm on the main screen and select notifications nothing seems to happen is this normal...just wondering....and thanks for all your hard work :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tooter1:
This ROM seems to be working great for me. Hope it keeps going that way.

Will post if I have any problems.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
It works for me I would try and wipe and reinstall should work but I'm gonna upload v1.8.1 with new kernel and updated base :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
uploading v1.8.1 :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
v1.8.1 released
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
Just flashed v1.8.1, coming from Shokouhi's Sense rom, kinda nice being back to the stock feel, I ran thru everything real quick and all seems to be working fine, nice rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] travisd4est:
Works for me no problems yet.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
sd card fix made my sdcard go from 8mb to 11mb per second on v1.8.1 it works great
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ra990:
Is 1.8.1 based off CM 7.0 stable?

Also, can you give a little more detail about what "updated wifi module" means? Can we expect to see improved wifi performance or signal?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] coszy:
Thank you for your rom,
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dinglehoofis:
I'm about to try this ROM out coming from GV 1.5... hopefully it's the sex ;D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Niksie:
For those who can't download from sharing-host-sites. I.ve created a mirror for this great piece of work. Check my signature.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
Why does it say I have youtube installed, yet I can't find it in the app drawer? Although when I find it in the market, the"open" button is grey and there isn't an install or uninstall button.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
Will fix in next update sorry about that v1.8.2

i believe the is frozen and titain backup will unfreeze it

Wifi module is for new kernel and yes based on stable
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
Thanks again, this ROM is amazing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
v1.8.2 released :D (full wipe required)

- fixed force closes

- Youtube install in market fixed
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
Were these the only fixes?

I was not having any issues with 1.8.1, YouTube or FC's. Woundering if i need to update to 1.8.2 or just stick with 1.8.1.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
If everything works for you then stay on 1.8.1 but a few people had problems with youtube and forcecloses so thats all i fixed :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Niksie:
Thnx.

Mirror created
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nmadd:
I've only been on this for less than a day, but it is very nice so far. Quite speedy when not overclocked which is excellent.

I'd love to see the phone misalignment fixed as well as the notification bar hesitation issue fixed and I would be extremely happy.

Thanks for your effort.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] riahc3:
Thanks for this ROM. Ive always wanted a completely 100% stock ASOP ROM. Nothing modified. This will give me the chance to test it out. Thanks.

Is everything working, as I see nothing below the "Not Working" ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dinglehoofis:
Everything is working... I flashed 1.8.1 last night and definitely have no regrets. Nice and fast, stable, OC'd to 1.5GHz with no issues.

EDIT: 2300 on Quadrant and 55.934 on Linpack for those of you that care.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DaygosTommyT:
I flashed 1.8.1 last night after coming from virtuous. This rom is super smooth but I could never get youtube to open. I ended up just using root explorer to remove the app and re-downloaded from the market and it works fine. So far no force closes! Great rom!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dude8383:
Going to take the plunge as well and give this a go! I've grown impatient for an OTA from HTC/Tmo...can't wait to see it in action!

Btw, great work xboarder, major props, your commitment is amazing!

Just waiting for my texts to back up and I'll be good to go!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dude8383:
Up and running. Painless transition. Only problem is I completely forgot where all of my apps where on the home screen haha.

I love it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
What would the force close affect? If it affects the browser then it has happened once to me.

The thing I hate about full wipes is that my settings, apps and home screen widgets all get reset. Is there a way to save them and load them all back up after wiping and flashing the update?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JackMagic:
This is based on CM7 so it isn't 100% stock AOSP. It also uses a modified kernel.

NAMKiller - titanium backup is useful.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
Thankyou, so I have backed up my apps, now settings... I'm assuming that is system data? Is it OK to do restore this after flashing a fresh ROM or will this cause issues?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
Should work fine :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
Thankyou :) By the way, thankyou so much for all the work you have put in to this, it's amazing! The speed that you update this ROM is incredible, good work :)

I would love to learn how to do this kind of stuff haha
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
wow look at this htc sensation for t-mobile gonna get it in summer :D

Thanks dude8383 for his 20 dollar donation for the rom :D every penny helps :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tooter1:
That is one nice phone.....wonder how much that one will cost?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
v1.8.3 released :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
Just flashed 1.8.3, running good, back to stock cyanogen kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
im talking to dev gonna try and get a 1.9ghz kernel from flippy just a usb mount issue currently for me but not everyone so i might in next release :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Lol... That won't fry the phone right? Ahaha joke. Anyways I only put my phone at 1.2ghz
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
Its fine lol its for those n64 games haha jk but I have used it all day on 1.9ghz with setcpu profiles and it works great
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Hmm... I should try that. Does everything work? Like video.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Niksie:
Mirror is up. Keep up the good work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dinglehoofis:
Looks good so far, how come we're back to the older kernel though?

EDIT: The slider to answer a call is off center, it still works but is uuuuugly. You fix? =-D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
+1 on this, I read that someone has theirs working now but mine is also still off-centre. Other than that, fantastic work, keep it up! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ghostly00:
Thanks so far boarder. this is my first time ever really roming.

i just just tried out 1.8.1, 1.8.2 and 1.8.3 and i have a bunch of force closes in them all

1.8.1

a few settings like the profile and sound led to force close by just clicking on them

1.8.2 and 1.8.3

trying to download any app from market led to force closes.

Hopefully im not the only one with these issues. great job so far.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kohr-Ah:
Market works fine for me on 1.8.3 (I skipped 1.8.2)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Niksie:
Not a single force close here. So far everything is working just fine. (as far as i can tell).

I'm sure you've heard this before but... Did you wipe everything?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bkrill:
i would be happpy with an apk. i just hate taking up a row on my how screen for the power widget.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
Do you want to test the new beta version 1.3
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bkrill:
sure. I sent you a private message
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Hey bro send me the link
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] XxFerociouS:
Will this have the screen off animation? It woukd be great if it had that

It would also be great if u could wake up the phone by pressing on the trackpad
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hogg2500:
Downloading now =D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hogg2500:
I'll take it too lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
you can enable those in v1.2 in the settings cyanogenmod menu
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] enoch861:
Bro! Xboarder! Nice to see you again from the HD2 forums!

I hope you find the G2 forums more accomodating than the HD2's forums.

You know I'm a big fan of your ROMs, so I'm off to downloading!

And looking foward to more of your work!

One question: is the ROM overclocked at all? Or is it stock?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
Its not overclocked but has the overclocking kernel so just download setcpu and overclock up to 1.5ghz
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Supovitz:
I'd like to test to.

To get the trackpad notifications constant you'd have to edit /system/lib/hw/lights.vision.so

I can't seem to build the file myself, or I would
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Lol am loving the stock feel
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] XxFerociouS:
Alright man this rom sounds great

I'm going to download right now and flash it :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
Im working on the wifi issue reboot after first boot. For now just reboot after first install and it should work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Aha that's awsome bro... it gets annoying always have to reboot just get wifi working.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wesg631:
I finally got around to download it,I love the stock feel great so far, I was going to say about the wifi but you already caught it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bkrill:
loving the feel of the rom. the only gripe i have is all the bloatware that comes with stock: books, twitter, facebook, goggles, translate, and shopper. If eel if people want them they can download them from the market.

Also, why are there two speakers in the app drawer. One says music the other jumper test? What is that?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Lol I had to delete them from the system app. Ahh hard work I tell you
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hogg2500:
This is regarding my experience with the BETA v1.3:

GPS Works Fine

ROM is fast as HELL

WIFI Calling Works (Somewhat)

When the screen turns black during a (WIFI Calling) phone call, I can't hear the person on the other side. I had to move the phone away from my head and let the screen turn back on to hear them. I did fix permissions and did a call without WiFi calling and it worked fine. I also when into call settings and Enabled: Always use proxmity). Its midnight where I am at and i have no one else to try the wifi calling with this late lol

Will be removing: Facebook, Twitter, Shopping, Listen. For the simple fact that I don't like using FBOOK and Twitter on my phone and I don't use the other Apps. Also I don't use Flash on my phone so I'll take that off. No big deal at all with this.

Browser fast as hell

Thats all I have for now.

Great work dude. I hope you stick around for a while here. I'm loving this ROM so much

I feel like I have a Nexus phone with this ROM. The Stock Experience and the Nexus Boot are amazing. Hopefully this will make it into ROM Manager
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wesg631:
I'm pretty sure it is in rom manager
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ghostly00:
did u do a wipe before upgrading to 1.8.3?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ghostly00:
Figured out what was going on. People have advised me to do my back up with titanium but not back system data.

So in restoring my apps i was double restoring with the google restore first then titanium restore with system data therefore alot of conflicting in the background going on.

So i just did a fresh wipe of data and cashe and installed 1.8.3 and only did a google restore and is sooo smooth now. i can get into sound and profile settings and market is not crashing or and android.media force close.

thanks once again for a smooth clean rom
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
You don't hhave to optinal
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Niksie:
I did use RomManager, but like xboarder56 said, it is not required.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
My slide lock screen is also on center and looks how it suppose to. I havnt found any issues with 1.8.3.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nmadd:
The lock screen is ok. It's the screen when the phone is ringing that is off center.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
Yep, just called my phone and your right, lock screen is off centered......
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adamhlj:
Mine seems to be working ok. I skipped 1.8.2 and have 1.8.3. Although when I called myself from another line, the phone was still ringing when it went to voicemail.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
Do you have the slide tab lock enabled? Not the rotary lock.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
ya its the slider tab when it does it dont know why though
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] iucidium:
xboarder, do you need to put a different radio on here beforei flash your ROM?? i have just (barely just) downgraded/s-off/root etc my desire Z
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kohr-Ah:
Nope. Just flashed over 1.8.1
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
If you change to a different slider it looks better. Know that is not a fix, but an option for you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nmadd:
Does 1.8.3 fix the opening the notification bar with your launcher problem? I imagine as CM nightly 39 was to fix that but wanted to check before I flash again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
It is working for me on 1.8.3
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
Its fixed :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
No radio need just wipe and flash v1.8.3
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nmadd:
Awesome. Downloading!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nmadd:
With the notification bar fixed, this is my daily driver now. And I'll echo others in saying this is fast as crap.

Thanks for your work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
Thanks cliff wroe for his 20 dollar donation :D

updated donation list

Working on next version :D

v1.8.4 small changes
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] iucidium:
I just went for it and flashed, this is absolutely brilliant, I'm shocked how much quicker stock is. thank you!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
working on fixing stock mms.apk to put back in v1.8.4 with ad blocking build in :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dude8383:
What kind of ad blocking are we talkin about?

Btw, LOVING it :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
v1.8.4 released :)

- better battery life

- better ad blocking

- Fully stock mms.apk fixed :D no more blurry mms
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Niksie:
Mirror is online.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
I'm gonna have to try this rom out.

Which I'll do when I get out of work and go home. :)

Looking forward to good things! :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Great work xboarder thanx for contributing to our community :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dude8383:
Question, do we need to do a full data/cache wipe again to flash to the newer version?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dlo5:
No more black background in mms?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
Doesn't look like it. I didn't and mine is running great (surprise surprise) so far.

It looks as if he is now putting in brackets next to the version updates whether or not it needs a wipe.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
I had to remove blackbackground because I wanted stock mms.apk and blackbackground is in cm7
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dude8383:
Sweet! Would suck to have to rearrange everything again. I still can't remember where half of my apps were located on the home screen.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] techemically:
I have been onboard since 1.6 and must say I love this Rom! I do have issues with GPS still. I went back to stock froyo after 1.6.1 and then came back at 1.8.2. Google maps gives me the " your location is temporarily unavailable" most of the time whether I'm inside or outside. I really need GPS, I did a full wipe before 1.8.2 and have had this issue on 1.6.1, 1.8.2,1.8.3, and still on 1.8.4. Am I the only one? What can I do to remedy this if I am? Thanks to all who reply :-)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
Shootme is your friend :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
ok so if gps isnt working for you go to teminal emulator it will show $ and then type all comands below that are bold and red Make sure to type croctly

$ su

# stop rmt_storage

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14

# reboot

Gps should work after reboot :D

ps: working on phone.apk slider fix
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eXase:
Aww, I personally prefer black background and the option to turn off. "Enter to send message"

Its like the new changes to facebook, and I keep accidentally sending msgs when I want to start a new line... but I recognise this was a choice of developer rather than a bug.

Otherwise I'm liking the rom so far :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
Black background mms with other settings
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
Link to alpha v1.8.5 :D phone.apk fixed
