Running CM7-0 on my G2 seems like a bust  . It doesn't help that I have poo poo signal, but it would not let me connect to wifi. I would turn it on, and after maybe 20 seconds it would uncheck itself. What all does the clockwork 3.x do that 2.5 wouldn't? It was annoying to have to update the recovery, install, flash the 2.5.x back to get back into my nandroid. I even tried to run a nandroid backup after updating to cw3.x (w/ cm6) and I couldn't restore it after cm7.

Hog Obituary posted:Is anyone running CM7 on an HTC G2/Vision/Desire Z? I just installed it tonight but found that WiFi wasn't working and my GApps install didn't seem to work either. I figured at that point I didn't care enough to mess with it and just restored my previous backup of CM6.1.1. Someone mentioned to me earlier that its a known bug with wifi. Try to reboot the phone, apparently that'll fix wifi. I did the same thing.. Wifi didn't work and I don't have cell coverage, so I went back to 6.1.. I plan to try it again tomorrow. edit: it was ratbert90.

Doctor rear end in a top hat posted:One of my idiot friends has a retarded friend with a MyTouch4G. Idiot friend rooted it and retarded friend attempted to load a custom ROM. The brick is now on my desk and when powered on, just goes to the MyTouch4G splash screen and stays there. It won't go into recovery mode when I hold volume down while powering up. It is recognized over USB and I'm installing the ADB driver for it right now. What the hell do I need to do to get this to work? If ADB works, from the terminal just do adb reboot recovery. If it boots into recovery, success and flash cm6.1 or what ever. If it does not.. um.. cry?

Casao posted:The ADB daemon doesn't boot up during the bootloader in my experience - fastboot does. You might be able to fastboot reboot recovery, but if holding down volume down on boot doesn't work, it probably won't work. I've gotten into recovery during a boot loop like that. It seems adb is one of the early load items, not sure. Doctor rear end in a top hat, what recovery? You can try to go in and delete the partitions manually if its clockwork? I think RAmon has an option like that too.

Maker Of Shoes posted:Ugh. I love CM7 (N1) but the phone/dialer lock up bug is just too much. Get a call? Make a call? Enjoy the black screen while the person on the other end waits 15 seconds to hear you. Yes, I understand it's an alpha but geez, you'd think such a horrific bug would get addressed. Does that happen with DialerOne for you? Ive got CM7#8 (G2) and I think it's only happened once for me.

Weaponized Cum posted:I recently bought a G2 and I have decided to root it. I had a G1 years ago so I'm out if the loop. I've looked at XDA and most of the threads talk about VISIONary, which apparently has not been updated for quite a while. What is the easiest/safest way to root? Is Cyanogen still the best ROM? Use the Cyanogen method. Quick and easy. As for the best ROM, I would guess either Cyanogen or MIUI would be the top. I'm using CM7 nightlies with mine, and its been working great. A few of the nightlies have had odd issues, but that's to be expected. If your not a beta software kinda guy, CM6.1 was flawless as far as I'm concerned. Never ran into issues. MIUI Seemed to work w/o issues for me.. but I didn't care for the style so I went back to CM7. Its totally a preference thing though, so give both a shot.

travisray2004 posted:I was hoping to install the font and change a setting rather than installing another app but I'll give this a go. Thanks. You can do it manually. Replace the 3 fonts in /system/fonts/ Clockopia.ttf DroidSans-Bold.ttf DroidSans.ttf Then verify the permissions. All in all, not really worth it since TypeFresh will do all of that for you, plus backup the orig font.

Civil posted:CM7 on my G2 worked great the first night, then things kind of deteriorated. Now, the wifi is dead no matter what I do - it won't connect to anything. I've never had this problem before. It's looking like nightly 40 isn't any better. Too bad. Hmm. I'm on a G2 with Cm7rc1. Everything seems to be working as expected for me. Did you try going back to #30 or one of the others that worked fine? I suspect you tried to do a full wipe as well?

Civil posted:This is the first CM7 build I tried - I didn't bother with nightlies before this. I did wipe, and just find it curious that I could get on wifi the first night after installing it, then afterwards, it didn't work. Oh.. being it's your first CM7.. It might be a bug... There is something with CM7 that does not start the wifi on first boot. Once you boot, go as far as you can and reboot. Wifi should now work. I forget who told me a while back.. but yea. Its dumb but works hah. Since it worked then didn't, not sure if its the same one for you or not. But for me its just on the first boot into cm7 that it happened. Even reflashing (w/o wipe) it has not been an issue. But every wipe I have to reboot a 2nd time to set up.

I'm normally at 11hrs and getting notified about my G2's life warning. I'm on CM7R1 right now.. Think I'll give #4 a shot. Are you using the CM kernel, or the pershot one listed in ROM Manager?

Like LiquidRain, I have a random reboot now and again.. but it hasn't been a big enough issue to bother finding out if its the same thing. Cm7 works w/o a hitch on my G2.. no complaints. I don't even notice any real bug fixes, just features. I love the gesture auto response in the stock SMS now.

brc64 posted:Oh, best features of CM7 that I've found so far: ability to use volume buttons to take a picture in the Camera app. Pfft. Best feature is using the (hold) Volume up/down w/ screen off to change music tracks, and (hold) camera button (g2) to pause/play. I use my phone to listen while riding my bike/snowboarding. I love not needing to turn the screen on and using my nose/taking gloves off to change the music.

I don't think I've actually added any music since I moved to CM7. I have about 4g on there now that I cycle through, using Pandora when I've got my charger on hand. I prefer the HTC notifications, so I've got /media/audio/(alarms, notifications, ringtones). I don't think I'm using any stock CM7 sounds.

LiquidRain posted:CombatMedic: What's your phone? My battery life is around 15 hrs on average. I use my phone pretty randomly, and tend to be on wifi calling the most, lovely signal at home. I forget to turn WiFi off when I leave, so its near constantly searching as well. I came across the randomness of ring tones you mention. Not sure what triggered it, I didn't change the music/audio at all. I did update the newest CM7 and that seems to be when it started.. not sure. I don't notice network wonky-ness much, but I don't do much other than stream Pandora consistently enough to notice. As for GPS. It's awesome for me. I have a cyclo-computer on my bike. They are within .5mi on a 25 mile ride. Looking at the map, its very close to accurate during that time as well. Pretty drat awesome, as GPS is one of my most used features. The one thing I notice with my G2 is random um, clicks? It seems that it will move the cursor (as if your using the track pad) on its own. I've heard this may be an issue with static, but who knows. It does not seem related to the position of my hands.. and it has happened from Stock, CM6 to CM7. So I assume its a hardware issue.

Have you updated the Radio on your G2? When I was using the Hero, I would update it all the time. On the G2 it does not seem to be as easy to find the radio updates.. It feels like with Cm7, the signal is getting worse.

heat posted:The only thing I will miss from Sense is the ability to select text in a non-retarded fashion (For anyone who has always had Sense, selecting text in the vanilla browser works like GMail - long press where you want start selecting, choose "select text" then tap again at the end of what you want to select, with one chance to get it right) You need to try out CM7. I think it changed in 2.3.3, now when you press and hold in the browser it highlights the word you touched. When you let go, it gives you 2 sliders on either side to adjust. Touch the center-ish of the hilighted selection and it now copies. Bada bing, bada boom. Its been so long since I've used sense, I don't recall if it is any better/easier.

LiquidRain posted:All the time on my G2. Randomly I'll get "insufficient storage." The number of apps being updated doesn't matter, I've had 4 updates go at once and no problems, and other times it struggles to install a single application. I get this all the time since being on CM7 (g2). Looking at the manage applications.. I have 0.99gb free. It's annoying, but if I tell it to reinstall it usually takes care of it. Not a big enough issue, but still stupid.

Mine GO BOOM posted:Not having this issue, but it seems like it might be that your cache mount maybe full, and it is having difficulty figuring out what to move out of the way. Next time this happens, try flushing your browser's cache and see if that clears it up. If so, report it as a bug to CM. Does clearing the browser cache clear out saved passwords? edit: just tried it. It does not clear saved passwords. We'll see if this helps w/ that on my G2.. Thanks.

rotaryfun posted:Can anyone explain kernals to me? It should be just the same as flashing a rom. Go into recovery and flash the zip. Generally the only thing that it can gently caress up is the current install. So Nandroid before and you've got your reassurance. If they have the stock OC'd too high, I guess you can have issues there too, but its doubtful if people on XDA use it much. I don't know anything about og droid specific kernals.

Gtalk 1.3 w/ Web cam integration. I've got it installed on my G2, and outside the fact I don't have a front facing camera, it is working. I don't know many with webcams to really test it though. You do have to be on 2.3.4 (I'm on the latest nightly). The .zip did not work right flashing from recovery, so I just extracted and manually pushed the files, then rebooted.
