[ROM] [NIGHTLY] CM7 on the G2x. *Take 2*

Important!
It is strongly recommended that you flash clockwork recovery via NVFlash. If for some reason this or a future nightly build causes your phone to not boot up, you will not be able to boot into recovery unless you have it flashed via NVFlash.
NVFlash for Linux
NVFlash for Windows
To clear up some confusion, if you flashed your recovery via ROM Manager, you didn't actually flash a recovery. It is what we call a fakeflash, you should still probably flash with NVFlash.
Instructions
Download from http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=p999 and flash like you would any other ROM (via recovery or ROM Manager).
Be sure to backup before flashing, and of course a wipe is necessary when coming from stock.
Gapps are available from the usual places, however do not download the version that says it is for Tegra, even though this is a tegra device, as it will not flash.

ChrisSoyars Edit:
After skimming some of the posts in this thread, here are some things that you can expect.
What to expect
- Everything working including Wifi, GPS, Audio, Camera, Front Facing Camera
- Screen off animation is not enabled, therefore it isn't broken.
- Occasional audio problems (as far as I know they have not been fixed). If audio does not play just reboot.
- Automagical brightness weridness, this is controlled by the kernel and not userspace, even having it working is very hacky.

I see this thread kinda senseless as there isn't a newer nightly that was available before using the old thread. Although 2 pages seems more manageable then 300+ (which will happen eventually to this thread.)
Being a website developer I know these threads add up pretty quickly (hurray xda!)
I haven't flashed an actual CM rom in almost a week since the server crash. Hopefully the new thread is a sign that the server was repaired and new nightlies are on the way. Using the latest KANGS to get my fix, I know there is lots of progress. Running the latest KANG from today I think the rom is almost ready for a stable release after a few bugs get worked out.
I think the work you guys are doing is fantastic and much appriciated, although it may seem all we do is ***** half the time. Android wouldn't be the same without all of the developers leading the way. Big props. Hope all is well and I plan to continue to follow your work.

Loud choppy/helicopter sound in-call

So I had an issue with my g2x and was sent a new one that I got Friday. I backed up my G2X that is rooted and run eaglesblood 2.8 with rom manager and than rooted and booted it up on the new. But than when making calls both me and the person on the other end here this loud choppy noise like a helicopter and we can't hear each other at all. So I got tmobile to send me another one out. I did the same thing and thought everything was fine made test calls and everything. I got away from the house and got a call and the nosie was back. I had the wife on in the house and now I'm back home and the phone works fine when its on WiFi. just when I use it on the network... thoughts?

Upgrade your baseband to 21y, or use and old ROM that's compatible with your current baseband (which is probably 21e).

I am going to look this up a bit but I am not sure how to upgrade the baseband got any tips on where to start reading?

okay I download getril and the baseband was wrong or whatever but now it says fixed but still is doing it.

It's more likely you're on the latest bandbase which is March 2012. That would explain the issue and not as previously suggested.

Search 21e and read up on reverting backwatds... pretty much use 2.3.4 stock modded roms or use cm7 rc3 and up for the baseband you're on now.

That's the latest which isn't compatible with most ROM's. You need to run stock or EB AOSP which don't have the issue or downgrade your bandbase and run whatever you want.

Okay going to try the newest EB loading it up now. how much can I restore than with Titan backup pro?

Wow this new EB has a cool installer app thingy!

I didn't suggest it cause now were probably going to be reading a new thread complaining about things not working, while it is one of the best ics roms!

Don't restore apps. Install clean the first time.

Yea why are people suggesting half working ics roms?
Here are your choices: kwes's stock rooted, bururom, CM7.2 RC3 and latest nightly.

Exactly. Don't install ICS for a daily ROM, stick with the ROMs that he mentioned.

Well I really am just looking for a daily driver. EB2.8 was working fine. what should I go with now?

I don't have a bluetooth headset on hand, so I cannot test the state of bluetooth calling!
(It's from the 8th, but nobody posted about it, so i figured I would)

Nothing in the change log shows any changes to Bluetooth so I'm gonna assume it's still borked...

agreed at I don't notice a lot in there for us to update it lol... Although this is the longest I've stayed on a rom since my G1 came out and I didn't root it til after 9-12 months lol... been on 7.2 "stable" since release.

I'm on CM7 Nightly #225 and I have no problems with Bluetooth at all. The only problem I have with this ROM is sometimes it takes longer to connect to WiFi.
Other than that, CM7 #225 is flawless.

Are you on the March 2012 baseband? That is when the Bluetooth problem appears. If on an earlier baseband then your comment is irrelevant.

Just tested it on the Mar-12 BB. BT still not working for call audio.

EDIT: actually the bluetooth bug filed with CM is correct.

Everyone with the new baseband with a rom other than v21y has the issue. The inly resolution so far is to downgrade to an earlier baseband, perferably oct 24th or july

Doh, seems I should have read a few more threads on this before doing the upgrade.
Honestly.. everything was work ok.. before I upgraded.. I do think call quality is better on the new BB.. but enough that I want BT gone.. no..
so I need a original upgrade or restore file with an earlier bb on it eh? I will check the dev section.. hopfully there is a thread with it.
Now, I could run the 2.3.4 with the BB and BT works? I could put CWR on it.. so I am still rooted... even run a Faux kernel I guess? I just wont have all the CM settings - correct?

Help please

Please dont tell me to search I have been up now for 48hrs searching I have tried everything kdz,cwm, etc this is my problem I have a G2X flashed to hellssandwhich worked awsome but I can't make or recieve calls it sounds like it is farting in the phone .then i tried to revert back using the KDZ method works until i have to load the KDZ file keeps saying error I have tried the v11h_--.kdz no luck I am almost ready to just shell out for a new phone and see if i throw this one will it fly in airplane mode (lol). I did a master reset no luck I returned it back to what I thought was stock still no calls everything else works text,web via wifi , etc oh last detail this is a unlocked phone working on att network

For one, it would help to make a descriptive topic (in case anybody else is having this issue, and for people to see before they click on the thread)
For two, what is your current baseband? I'm not sure how exactly an unlocked phone will work with another provider, so based on the current condition (software/kernel versions/baseband) you may be very limited to what roms you can flash or how effective kdz files are on your phone via the network your on.
I havnt had to do or use the kdz option luckily, but more information should be provided for an informative response.
I would start with 2.3.3 versions, as the audio issues arise with roms conflicting with baseband versions.
Also try the baseband fix posted in the general section, along with owain's baseband fix on his cm9 rom post.
Oh, and search these threads, I'm sure their are plenty of possible resolutions within them... lol. Its probably not the greatest idea to start a topic on the defense if you want a warm reply.

Problem solved

need some quick help with this one

took both mine and my wifes g2x back to 2.3.4 stock. ran the updated baseband on both but for some reason her's still isn't making/receiving calls. also her baseband is showing jul 15 2011.
i did this to hers last night and didn't bother checking it. now shes on a 8 hour road trip with our 2 girls and has no phone.
i also tried the lg support tool but the phone has a jacked up charger port and would never connect to my computer.

If she has the July 2011 baseband try putting the 2.3.3 ROM on it or if she still has CWM installed flash this on her 2.3.4 ROM and see if it fixes it http://db.tt/abISGgzB

thanks xbkkx

If she's still on the 2011 baseband then any cyanogenmod rom should work as well... her phone wont work because she has a v21e baseband and is running a v21y rom.
This has been the cause of alot of confusion on the forums the last couple months.
Hope it works out.

I'm not positive that is entirely correct, I haven't been around here much but last time I checked that latest CM nightlys only work with the latest 21y baseband.

she's on stock 2.3.4. lets not worry about custom roms cause there is no way im talking her through downloading and installing a rom
what i don't get is i used the same zip file to do both of ours. after doing the exact same thing on both i ran getril and mine passed but heres did not. mine is good with 21y and her's prompted for 21e.
is it just a simple fix of her d/l'ing 21y through getril?

Like I said before she needs a v21e based rom not a v21y based rom.
And no all new cm aren't only for the new baseband.
Just because its a custom rom doesn't mean its any more complex or unstable, in fact with this garbage device the custom roms are more stable than the stock ones as far as I'm concerned.

She needs to go with the 21e then. Get ril is wrong, but she needs to go with what about phone states.

this is about retarded that we are both on the same rom, but mine runs 21y fine and her's won't run 21y or 21e.

is there one out there that has gps, mms, and video all working with little to no extra files?
