[Q] Phone selection... - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
My MT3GS suddenly decided to kick the bucket last night, so now I'm just looking around for potential new phones.
I'm considering among mt4gs, sensation, g2, and mt4g. I just want to know how you guys liked the phone, and which phone would be the wiser choice at the end, or if there's other phones I should consider as well.
I thank you all in advance for the advices!

G2 (biased choice of course). wifey has a mt4g but i NEED a physical keyboard. cant live without it. Mt4gs seems to have fewer developers than mt4g and g2 plus i can do without the ffc

If you don't care about the hardaware keyboard go for the sensation dude it has a better screen its faster but the part is that it comes with sense (well its bad for me)

if you want a good keyboard for messaging, go for G2
otherwise go for the sensation

its bad for you (and me) because before rooting we had a always-restarting launcher... but after rooting the problem can be solved (although i had the ILWT CM7 then changed it to CM7.1)
but its actually a good thing to have htc sense in the sensation...

[Q] Stable rom for daily driver

I am looking for a stable 2.2 or 2.2.1 rom for my wifes g2. I have glanced at the development forum and it seems gingerbread is all the rage right now. My wife just needs a solid, dependable, daily driver. I just want to flash something for her that works and be done with it. The stock rom seems to have some bloat and I am hoping for better battery life as well.
What is the most popular rom at the moment? I rooted her phone (permanent s-off) so I am ready to go. Thanks in advance!
I would honestly suggest cm7. Or for the best sense rom, virtuous. You could just remove the bloat with Titanium backup from the stock rom.

Thanks for the info. I will probably give virtuous a try.
Highly recommend virtuous' froyo offering until the dev releases the gingerbread version. I've been using it since I got my DZ and it's simply amazing how stable and fast it really is.
I actually flashed Virtuous this morning to see if it was any good and all I can say is it was laggy as a shaggy sheep. I flashed the whole thing through rom manager and did a full wipe so I don't know what the hell but it was insanely laggy. You could hit a button and wait well over a second for a response. Maybe I needed to flash a new kernel? Maybe I needed to run the update from .0 to .1? Who knows?! I found it aesthetically pleasing but that is about it. (Maybe it is because I have a g2 and it is for desire z?)
For stable daily drivers I've been using Cm6.1.1 for nearly a month. I found Cm7RC4 to have to many niggling issues like my camera locking up the phone every couple times I tried to use it. Let alone needing to use gps.
I hear good things about miui but I cannot speak from experience.
I've been using CM7 RC2 for a couple of weeks now without issue. It has been stable, improved battery life and performance.
I'd also suggest CM7. I've been using that ever since i rooted my phone, and havent had any problems with it so far.

I have never flashed a rom through rom manager. Only really used it to get CWM installed. I prefer to get a rom going the old fashioned way and flash through recovery. Did a full wipe of data, battery, davlik then installed the rom on day one and has been running flawless ever since.
While CM7 is working good its not 100% stable yet. There are random reboots and freezes. I would say the most stable ROM at the moment is CM6.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841275 It's not Gingerbread but still everything works and there are no problems to report.

Keep in mind that CyanogenMod is designed specifically to be *fast*. Virtuous is simply a port of the HTC Sense ROM. Also, keep in mind that Virtuous comes 'out of the box' with the regular HTC kernel - 800MHz, no changes. There are 2 additional kernels available: Standard - OC'd to 1GHz (highest you can go without changing voltage) and a built-in screen off profile. Does not support SetCPU or anything. Advanced is a full-blown open kernel - you can setup your own profiles, overclock (I think to 1.5GHz or so). I personally run Advanced to 1.2GHz with some other profiles, but if it was my wife's phone, I'd toss the Standard kernel in there and call it a day.
Also, Sense *does* add some bloat (it's an entirely new UI), but it's totally worth it, IMO (especially for a girl's phone). The improved visuals, extra features, etc make it totally worth it. If you're doing that much, go ahead and setup LauncherPro instead of the stock Sense launcher and she'll be rocking and rolling.
This is very helpful info everyone. I now have to decide between cm 6.1 and virtuous. Sounds like both of these roms are the set it and forget it variety which is what I was looking for. She is not a flashaholic like myself so one stable rom is all I need.

See that is the thing, I don't like the fact that I will have to overclock my phone to make Virtuous "run good". That is pretty damn silly in fact. I mean they package the kernel for stock speeds since it is based on the DZ stock rom. What about all those desireZ owners? They surely don't have to overclock to make their phones run without any lag. Why not package a kernel that is capable of overclocking to a reasonable speed out of the box like any one of the cyanogen releases?
I feel this is a tremendous oversight on the ROM developers part. I would love to rock their rom and get a good feel for Sense UI so all the people who come to me for advice on tech related matters can have my unbiased opinion on the UI, not what I had to go through to make it run without any lag. That is some Grade A bull****.
I suppose it would be less bull**** if I knew how to flash a kernel.
You flash it the same as a Rom except no wipe and it takes about 30 seconds. Also virtuous used to come stock with overclock but took many people were having issues with it. As in they don't know how to set up proper profiles with a setcpu type program. So the overlook kernels became an extra add-on for more advanced users.

Virtuous is good with overclock. I found the untouched gingerbread sense ruu that rmk prepared to be a lot smoother. Bluetooth was a bit hit and miss though.
I'm on the saga ginger sense rom right now and no issues at all. Had to tweak some aesthetic things like font, but it's good.
Still haven't found a rom on the dz as good as Super D was on the G1 yet...
Man, Super D rocked...I'm getting all nostalgic. I'm gonna have to go visit my g1 soon (I sold it to my buddy) lol oh yeah...I'll visit my buddy too haha

Funny thing, I think the first 20 or so minutes on a new rom may not be representative. I flashed my wife's mt3g slide using the stock update, and it lagged BADLY for the first 20 min. Including a battery pull because the phone app (com.android.phone) went non responsive. Just my $0.02.

I mess around with other roms, but I keep coming back to CM6.1.1. Virtuous is nice, but I'm not a fan of Sense UI.

This rom gives you plenty of options, is as stable as CM6.1 or more stable. Runs faster.
I do think it scores somewhat slower on the benchmarks, however in this users opinion it is much faster in scrolling, loading, and general usage.
You will have to google to find it, but give it a try. You can have lots of the sense elements or disable them if you want a more plan vanilla experience.
Also I did very much like cm6.1
Cm7 is coming along but still working out many bugs... see the changelog. Many will say this is stable enough for daily use.
I used to use virtuous, have since moved on to gingerbread ROMs though. When I was using virtuous it was brilliant. Fast and stable. It was not laggy like another user said. I used CWM recovery to flash it and did a full data/cache wipe beforehand and you should do whenever you change ROMs. Another vote for senses ease of use and virtuous' reliability!

[Q] will there be PLAIN gingerbread??

Hi!
First of all i want to say Hi to all desire z / g2 users! Recently i have bought desire z - before i was an g1 user - and i've loved it. BUT...
I have never used HTC SENSE before, and now i know for sure - hate it. To big, to complicated. What i like is just simple Android GUI. So...my question is: does any Devs are working on plain desire z (hopefully gingerbread) rom? And is there any new, stable and fast rom without sense or miui?
[Edit] oh! I believe i didn't make myself clear....i know, that i can install launcher pro or adw, but all stuff from sense is still there...dialaer, sms app, even keyboard pisses me off....i want as plain as it can be ginger - is CM7 the only way for me??

Right now I think all stock roms are CM7 based. If you want pure stock it sounds like your may have to wait until someone roots the official gingerbread release for you to flash.
For the record CM7 with the stock launcher had been fantastic for me.

Thanks for fast replay!
I've never used brand new phone before, so that's why, if i finally apply non_htc_rom, i want it to be as close to my expectations as possible.
Ok. So - i have to wait for rooted gingerbread...meanwhile i'll read something more about CM7. On g1 and CM5/6 i had a lot of stability and performance issues such as problems with g-sensor, touch display hangs etc., thats why i'm trying not to apply this rom....but.....SENSE UI is horrible....i think in a few days i will perform upgrade to cm7 to see what it's worth!
Once again - thanks for reply

You cannot compare the G1 cm5/6 experience to the G2 cm6/7 experience. I also had the G1. It was a great phone in its time. It did not have the hardware to run those roms properly though. It is a testament to the cm team that we even had it to begin with. The G2, however, is perfectly capable of handling these roms and does so exceptionally.
My wife has a G2 as well. She keeps hers stock. At times, I grab her phone in the car to pull up maps or something. It is immediately apperant the difference in the feel of the phone. My phone running cm7 rc4 is noticably smoother and faster.
I think that if you give cm7 a go, you will not be disappointed.
Just so you know, multiple sites are reporting today that the g2 will receive it's update this quarter.

Here's the article (or one of them) stating "an HTC spokesperson" says that an official "vanilla" Gingerbread ROM is coming to the G2 this summer:

Sounds a bit rumour-y right now. But good to hear, nonetheless.
As already stated, try CM7, it is running PERFECT for me!
..... also this may be of interest to you.....

A priority for me will be a new Gingerbread vanilla build, which will replace the current GingerVillain. I don’t expect work to start on this until mid-April, so please bear with me.

[Q] TeamVillain vs Cyanogen?

I've only flashed Team Villain and Cyanogen roms. Any recommendations on other folks roms I should try out and which do most think is better between those 2?
Xboarder56 v1.9
The sense roms are good. HomerSP's SenseGinger if you want gb sense and Virtuous for froyo. I find Virtuous to be slower as a UI, but faster "behind the scenes" as in running actual apps. Partially because overclock is available, partially because it's just faster even without oc.
Sense will always be a bit slower, but you should at least try it for a few days...really explore what it's about.
Edit: SenseGinger is a TeamVillain release, so forgive me if I falsely assumed you haven't gone with Sense before lol

Yes. This ROM is good indeed.
I started working with TeamVillain (GingerVillain 1.5 OC), than changed to Cyanogen (which I really dislike) and now I'm very happy with Xboarder56 v1.9. Updating and bugfixing is very fast and it is a "clear" Google Android.

that's funny, because both GV and "Stock" Gingerbread (the xboarder release) are CM-based...
I still to this day prefer GV1.5, even if it is antiquated by gingerbread rom standards. but really, it's almost identical to CM in most ways.

I know that they are both CM-based. The real CM (I tested the newest release) doesn't fit for me. It's more the style than functional issues. GV1.5 was great as well, but I ran into some errors with that. Unfortunately GV1.5 is not going to be updated that fast, so I decided to switch to the xboarder release.
PyroMod. It supports the real A2SD (not the crappy one Google introduced with Froyo).
I really like GV 1.5 but updates are slow to roll out. Seems almost as if the devs abandoned the rom. I'm on mexdroid V2 right now and loving it. Ill probably go back to GV once 2.0 arrives..

TeamVillain, was great but I just can't get either of my bluetooth headsets to pair with it. As I spend a lot of time driving (the law in Ontario does not allow cellphone use without a hends-free device) TeamVillain had to go. No bluetooth isues with either of the other roms.
Cyanogen felt somewhat slow until I overclocked it, and the Shazam Encore app kept kicking up force close errors (I like to tag songs from the radio), so I moved on from Cyanogen.
I love PyroMod, it is my daily driver. I have had no issues at all with it.
I loooove meXdroid meXperia V2. It's based off of cm nightlies, but the feel is completely unique for me. I guess it depends on your personal preference, but hey, give it a flash see what you think. I doubt that you will be dissapointed

Well the creator insists on you doing a full wipe before installing the rom, so battery life will suck for a few days until your phone relearns it's stats, so there is that. I personally use a wired headest for music quality instead of bluetooth, so I wouldn't really know if there are any issues or not. I'm pretty sure that there isn't but again, I'm not sure. Give it a try, I have yet to find a bug on the update, and this rom is very fast!

[Q] Need help with choosing OS

Hello
Im a proud owner of DesireZ, got it from my provider for free, and I could not possibly think of a better phone than this. On stock clock - it runs high graphic games, and it runs smooth. I really cant imagine what would someone do with announced Exynos 2Ghz on SGS3, apart from resolution requirements. But than again, everything above ~250ppi is just retarded, by my standards. This HTC phone is perfect for me.
so, my question is -
1. need to replace stock rom with something good
2. need fully working phone (camera also, so no ICS for me, I guess )
3. need info on Sense version that doesnt cause bugs and problems, cause I have read lots of topics with people complaining. (lagging after couple of hours, need restart and so on)
4. CM, or ICS, or some pre-tunned Gingerbread .. ?
As I have done this before with some similar devices, please link the following to me:
1. root instructions
2. backup instructions
3. best OS by my requirements (smoothness, no bugs, and pre-installed OC software are priority)
and that's it
Im sorry in advance, cause there will surely be someone that says - use search, but Im making it like this cause regular visitors of site can find that with much more ease than I could. Appreciate help in advance.
Welcome to the DZ/G2 forums!
The procedure of using gfree to root and carrier unlock your DZ is in my signature. Depending on your current installed version of ROM, you may or may not have to downgrade your phone.
The most stable versions of ROMs that I have personally tried are the following.
Virtuous Sense: The closest stock DZ ROM you can get with optimizations and tweaks. It's been debloated of carrier crap and has an OC kernel up to 1.5GHz if I am not mistaken. The best GB Sense experience you can get IMO.
Virtuous G-Lite: The closest stock G2 ROM you can get with optimizations and tweaks. Debloated of T-Mobile's carrier crap and also OC-able to about 1.5GHz. Very light weight and able to go out 2-3 days on the stock battery on a single charge depending on usage. I would, however, recommend ditching LauncherPRO in favor of GOLauncherEX though.
Thanks man!
It is not carrier locked, cause supply stock of Serbian Telekom was only few and they didnt bother, it is a plain simple out-of-the-factory Desire Z.
If I choose G-lite, can I flash my regular DesireZ, are there limitations between G2/DZ .. ?
Does OC-ing to, lets say - 1.2Ghz shorten battery life ?
I like this G-lite, as I am aware of the fact that Android generally drains much more than other OSes, as I had HTC Blackstone. 4 days on WM6.5, 1 day on Android.
If you want a Sense 3.5 ROM, but a bit refreshed, I've been using Android Revolution for a few days and it's amazingly smooth compared to the other 3.5 ones.
I would HIGHLY recommend G2 Slim. It's the latest t-mobile release of gingerbread for the G2, but it has nearly everything unnecessary removed and it has the best battery life out of ALL the ROMs on our devices.
It's a very smooth ROM with all features working, it is a bit basic but there's nothing you can't really fix with apps from the market. It's very very fast, has ridiculous amounts of free RAM, it's great with multitasking and it's even very quick when it comes to app performance.
Virtuous G-Lite is basically the same as G2 Slim, except it's much faster. It seems like the extra speed of G-Lite comes at the cost of battery life though. That said, the battery life on both of those ROMs is amazing, so you can't go wrong with either of them.
Otherwise, if you're looking for something different and a little bit fun, try out the latest gingerbread release of MIUI . You will fall in love with the theming abilities of that ROM.
Get miui, looks good, and just works. ... MIUI Android (GB)
I would highly recommend AOSP, be it G2Slim or EliteMod.
Sense and MIUI can be fun to play with, but they're just toys IMO and like to eat your RAM and battery life. They do each offer some pretty kickin' features that AOSP doesn't but I still prefer the base experience as it offers the most stability, battery-life, and overall smoothness.
Happy to hear you like the phone, I'm going on a year and a month now and I still love it! I have nothing but praises for this thing, the flash even almost survived me! But alas I have to replace it after one too many accidental hits of the Torch quick setting.

I agree with this, G2 Slim and Virtuous G-lite are both fantastic AOSP ROMs that you should try out.
I like how you all automatically assume that I know the "AOSP" abreviation, but google helped me on that one
played last night with all OS-es you recommended, and in the process I made a routine with flashing so now I know what im doing, and this is hard - in terms of what to choose It is now that I actually see the potential of this phone. XDA support for this device is just awesome, one of the most supported devices generally.
@buxtahuda - had a lots of smartphones before this one, all lost due to failures:
HD2 - was crappy in terms of assemble, got loose and had really bad plastic. When I opened it it was clear that HTC assembly was not good at that time
iPhone 3g - after 6 months of usage without protection and pocket time, it looked like it had a fight with Optimus Prime.
SGS1 - fell from 2 feet and the scene looked like I dropped i light bulb - into 100 pieces. even Cornig Gorilla glass that has only one flaw - side pressure, managed to crack
DesireZ is on a whole another level. I actually managed to drop it 5th day of usage because I replaced bundle headphones (that's the only thing that sucks) and didnt have cable-control, and trying to change a song while running on high-cardio excercise (weight loss process). It fell down also having momentum cause of running and it tubmled for 4-5 meters:
still cant find where are the scratches. really, I placed it under a magnifying glass and I cant find where are the scratches from f'in concrete! awesome materials and assembly by HTC
Rooting your phone, getting S-OFF to install other Roms
Hello and have fun with your Desire Z!
Full instructions for HTC Desire Z and T-Mobile G2 Root and FULL S-OFF can be found on http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2
When you need support for getting S-OFF you can join the IRC channel #G2ROOT on freenode. Browser access on webchat.freenode.net . After joining the IRC webchat you can change to channel #G2ROOT using the command "/join #G2ROOT".
My favorite ROMs for the HTC Desire Z are:
* Virtuous Affinity 2.05: A little bit slow, but great experience
* Virtuous G-Lite 2.0.1: Very fast, some special software might have issues
* CyanogenMod 7.1: Great overall ROM, respectable speed and stable.
Try the ROMs and decide for yourself!
For backing up applications I recommend using Titanium Backup (Pro), for backing up your system you can use ClockworkRecovery and RomManager.
When you want to install more than one ROM on your phone at the same time then try BootManager (from Google Play). Might not work with all ROMs but is really good to try things!
Good Luck.
Congrats on your new phone! The Desire Z is starting to show its age, but considering the developer base and the fact that you got it for free, I'd say you got a pretty good deal.
Personally, I like MIUI and CyanogenMod 7. CM7 is a classic, and everyone loves it for the degree to which it preserves stock Android, while adding on a few improvements here and there. MIUI, on the other hand, gives you a complete re-imagining of the Android interface, and it can be great to use. I find myself alternating between the two every couple months, actually. That's the beauty of the Desire Z, though: the widespread developer support means you get that kind of flexibility!
I agree that Cyanogenmod 7 is fantastic but for me, i could NEVER eliminate the constant battery drain issues that i had with it no matter what. I'd still recommend it to newcomers but i think simpler ROMs like G-lite or G2 Slim are much better.
I generally like to have a clean and consistent looking UI on any ROM that i use and CM7's styling seemed to always take a way from the stock gingerbread feel that i was looking for. That's my opinion.
Right now, i'm using Virtuous G-lite and now i know what it's like to have a really really fast phone xD.
As far as Sense ROMs go, my experience showed me that Virtuous Affinity 2.05.0 was the fastest and most stable out of all the Sense 3.* ROMs.
After many tries, I decided to stay on G-lite mainly cause of the battery, but I would also like to give a chance to Virtuous Sense, cause it seemed (for a hour of usage) like a pretty decent ROM.
MIUI reppeled me with the iPhony look, that's sometnig I want to avoid in the future, even if it has only a fraction to do with rotten Apple.
The best option would be, if anyone ever creates it, ICS based system with the "strip-down" settings like G-lite. that I would like very much
Anyways, this phone is Awesome. I did not have a hype like this with any other phone, and as I stated, I had them all shortly after release (HD2, SGS1, iPhone 3G). The only thing that's bothering me is metal back-cover which I guess will be all bumpy in the future (I hate putting my phone in covers and skins) But I guess I could recreate it out of metal, since I am good with power tools and fine cutting of stuff, and like to do that kind of projects

{Q} Personal ROM recommandation needed

Hello!
Since i rooted my HTC Desire (~1 year) I've been using MIUI Marange (formerly MIUI_AU) but it became really slow and unstable for me. I was searching around roms, but this is too much to handle for me as I'm not a pro
Please can you recommend me a:
-stylish
-stable
-atleast andorid 4.0
-A2SD
-if sense then 4.0, too
if my details are impossibe, say it then i can lower my standards

A2SD- Most now...just look through that reference link...
I agree about CyanogenMod...Awesome devs, but feels a little sluggish on the bravo...
Best all around Rom *drumroll*
OXYGEN ZM, by FAR! :victory: :good:
Most stable by far, fastest by light years, no bugs known! (And it doesn't look half bad with ADW or something of the sorts)
This is my personal experience, I have flashed all the roms listed above, and this is solely my opinion
PS: Lots of ROMS are great when overclocked, but to me draining your battery to no limit, just to make a ROM a little smoother is not how it should be...neat tool, but shouldn't be a necessity to live with a ROM
