[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Utorrent76:
Its 2.3.3, instructions on how to flash are in the op.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shortlived:
The devs know about the weekly view and have already fixed it for the next release. Good eye though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mintaeroboy:
thank you,

another question, i dont need the Engineering HBoot do i?

what do you in the op?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mintaeroboy:
and any good apps to back up apps messages etc?

and how to back up the oringal rom??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pusaran:
rmk,i found that i cant type anythng using chinese,can u fix this??ty

p.s:thx all of u for being DZ devsXD
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Use titanium backup to back up apps, messages etc. And the you can do a nandroid in recovery to back up your stock Rom.

But if your about to flash this Rom and your asking about backing up your original Rom, I suggest you do a bit more reading about the basics of flashing roms.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mintaeroboy:
i have flashed a few roms on older phones (moto xt720) but i havent used rom manager before so you know thanks anyway
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] grosminetiti:
I instal the Rom today...

All is ok for me :)

Great job to the team, thanks to you :)

Sometimes the screen seems freeze (I applied the patch then normaly it will be ok..)...

And sometimes some icons it's not possible to push (obligation to go back and come a new time to do...)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ramsfan_Jim:
I was going to ask the same question. It doesn't seem so simple to backup & restore between different versions of sense / Android. Although I seemed to be able to restore all user apps & data OK, I couldn't get system data (Messages, Contacts, Playlists etc.) to restore (data only obviously). Ultimately trying seemed to corrupt the boot sector and I've had to go back to Virtuous 1.0.2.

Has anyone else successfully restored system data between sense versions? Which utility did you use?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CamoGeko:
Have you tried MyBackup from the market?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
I use sms backup and restore for text messages. Contacts are synced to Google.

hey guys... just wondering... im using set cpu at the moment, is there much improvement in using the daemon oc tool to the setcpu tool?? e.i performance.. reliability.. stability.. and most of all if their a fail safe? so if the phone overheats it clocks the processor down?

thanks in advanced for any replies
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mmb_z:
Does it support arabic.

or any RTL language.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yannis00:
Yes,sorry had a bunch of tabs open when i was doing it. If you use the cat command in terminal it will return back available frequencies and govenors.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ranyardm:
This rom is simply amazing! Kudos to the devs, it's like the phone is brand new!

I'll add a couple of notes that people have reported as bugs :

Swype - I've always had this on stock roms, that the beta needs switching input after some reboots.

Messaging scrolling to different points as you enter text - again, stock desire z has this issue too, pretty sure it's a sense bug.

Quick Search - the search that comes up when you press the search key can be configured to search your contacts, and other apps too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] FireGX:
This is waht I'm finding:

In the shipping build for DZ, the messaging app will scroll up about 4-5 messages as you type.

In unity, it does that too, but if you receive a text message while you're typing, it'll scroll all teh way to the top of the messaging list. Probably still a Sense bug though...

Does nobody working at HTC use sms? This never gets fixed =\
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zappoo:
So i tried a UOT kitchen on this ROM and it worked fine. Some things didnt appear though - such as the custom icons (i wanted nice green/blue icons for WIFI/3G etc but they stayed as the stock white icons).

Other things - battery mods, window animation, window glow, overscroll glow, all worked fine.

Unfortunately no mod for transparent app-drawer, or transparent and black notifications area.. hopefully someone can do them :)

anyone tried mdj's new kernel... is it stable?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] karlonicolas:
i would have, but i don't know how to return to the original kernel 3.0.2 if mdj's kernel does not work.

anyone here have a flashable zip of the 3.0.2 kernel?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CamoGeko:
Ive got zip for 3.0.1 kernel.

http://www.multiupload.com/C2WQNZBOWK
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kapiec:
Just do the nand backup in cwm. When you decide to revert to orginal kernel do the advanced restore with boot.img. Wipe dalvik before restoration. It worked for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] asim0:
Hi everybody, i wanted to say a big thank you to the devs for this fantastic rom. Here's a quick feedback (sorry if it's been reported before, those threads grow too quickly ):

- i have some difficulties to use the htc photo frame widget, when i crop a photo sometimes it works sometimes it brings me back to "choose an album" or even "choose a widget" (mostly after scrolling in a long folder with many pictures)

- i had the same with the htc photo grid widget, sometimes works, sometimes not

- not important at all: in manage apps, when you click on some htc apps, you ave an extra "details" button, which shows a cropped popup (wrong size) with version number

- some apps i cannot install/update, due to low disk space, yet i still have 105 mb free (yeah i know i have added 200+ apps). I guess some apps do not install when you have <10% free. So i checked what was taking up space, and (obviously) the system.app adds about 330mb. I know it doesn't fit in /system, but still, now there is 265mb free in /system that won't be used, so does anyone know if it is possible to move something there, maybe dalvik-cache? with my 200+ apps it's about 180mb and would fit there...

EDIT: I just saw the last post on virtuousrom.com that advises to migrate to the DZ Hboot (which i already have), so if you have a G2 Hboot you may not have as much free space on system as i have, but more data (right now i use 1052 out of 1156mB of data space). Anyway I guess next releases will force everyone to use the DZ hboot, so don't bother with my low space problem for now, i'll just uninstall some apps...

EDIT 2: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14665515&postcount=671

- the dock seems a bit small in height, and very aliased (the locksceen one is a lot smoother) (compared to Insertcoin screenshots)

- seems to take very long time to recharge battery

- when i shoot a video in 720p in landscape, it plays well in landscape, but is scrambled in

portrait

mode

Anyway great job here, don't forget to hit the devs' Thanks button :)

Im using radio 26.03.02.26M, and i dont seem to be pulling down any mobile data.

Is there a better radio to be using, ive had this issue twice before with virtuous roms and id really like to get past it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] grosminetiti:
Hello,

Before I have the .16 radio and when I installed to the dezire Z Hboot (from virtuous) my radio go to version .15

I'll see if all is correct but if you have a better one, can you say to me me witch one ?

Thanks to you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kozmikkick:
Might have better luck using one of the leaked GB radios. I use .30 and have no problems at all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
I am having the same issue, but it never works work me. Anyone have a fix? Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pimpmaneaton:
Yes installed it this morning after clearing cache and dalvik cache. Mounted system and data just in case and flashed. Rebooted and has been running very smooth. Currently running at 1.4ghz cause that was what I set before kernel flash. But is running very smooth and stable.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rajackar:
Using that exact same readio and never had any data problems.

Are your apn's set up correctly?

Long SMS to MMS is a feature that's here for a while in HTC Message App (or android, i dont know) ..

Photo frame widget works fine here, video playback .. ok we'll take a look.

Thanks for reporting.

God damn it mate!

Means thank YOU guys! :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YOSEFE:
Thanks team, you have exceeded our expectation.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] leehopley:
Cheers for all the hard word guys, been using this ROM since this morning when. It was released. It's very stable, only a few very very minor graphical glitches but absolutely not a dealbreaker..... It's amazing
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
umm why are you reporting bugs being fixed that were never an issue with this rom? THIS ISN'T FUSION!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AllWin:
"A feature"? :eek: And what they are thinking about... Some network providers giving free texts and now we can forget about it. Thanks HTC, that's sweet. Another reason to buy SGS2 instead of Sensation.

Sorry for off-topic and thanks for quick reply ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flemmard:
Maybe i can look at this 'feature', to set limit higher .. but not sure ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Puffballofdoom:
That would be cool, a mms costs me 25ct, but a SMS only 9ct. It switches to MMS when i go past the limit of 160 characters, but even with SMS it's cheaper to send 2 SMS instead of 1 MMS...

Kernel

Unable to flash the custom Kernel Says Status 7 error. Installation error. Desire HD
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flemmard:
If u're on Desire HD, go on the Desire HD section, Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Redmed427:
This isn't a "feature" it is the android os. When u pass 3 text messages worth in one entire text it converts to an mms. Its done this on every single rom I've ever had. Even did it on my G1. If you've never seen it happen before its because you never noticed it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jacky113:
Thanks for the hard work! rom looks amazing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cdsbj6508:
ROM is GREAT and FAST!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crazyC:
This sounds like an odd question, but how can I tell if its sent as an mms vs sms. Am using InsertCoin and have just sent myself a 195 character text that both sent and came back as a normal text as far as I can see - it appears in the conversation exactly as all the other texts.

I ask because I have a monthly allowance for texts but none for MMS and they are expensive to send, therefore I am interested in this before flashing Unity.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] little123:
I'm running on virtuous v1.0.2 and there is no automatic converting from sms to mms. ( i tested it just up to 10 sms...)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kev-Lo:
thanks very much for your hard work!

have been using for few hours, and find some visual bug in the HTC Calendar App (month view) and FM Radio

Otherwise working flawlessly and surprising fast with those 3D animations.. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flemmard:
SMS max size will be limited to 66, instead of 5 now. Will be okay ? ^^
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AllWin:
I'm not talking about more then 3 texts ;) Now it is enough to send 161 character and it's being converted to MMS automatically.

66 of what? Symbols? KB? Sorry for silly question.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] more.then.fiction:
Im going to guess he means 66 messages.

A few small things ive noticed.

Widget previews are oversized.

The www. .com key.

Www. Wont show at all, while .com works you have to hold it down thus producing .com x10.

I'll miss landscape though. Maybe someone will patch it when the proper device is released.

Banging on fools from my HTC Troll
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] F033x:
Yeah they were, i flashed a 30 leak radio and its running proper now.

All issues aside this is the cleanest and best looking sense 3.0 rom ive used yet.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
and, now for something completely different. I REALLY want to use this rom, but it seems that, no matter what i try to do, I can get the rom to boot after flashing. I am using the dz hboot that rmk posted for the rom, then i wiped data and stats in recovery, then tried flashing the rom zip. it boots to the splash screen, then, reboots itself into recovery :( any ideas?[/QUOTE]

I guess no one saw my question earlier, but can anyone help me fix this? I REALLY want to try out sense 3.0, but it refuses to boot up for me :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pimpmaneaton:

Are you mounting /system and /data before flash. Also a useful tool is SuperwipeEXTG2 which can be found in mexdroidmod. After that I also do the SuperWipe+ then mount the data and system then flash it. Have not had an issue with this route at all. But I also recook the rom to my liking with some fixes and mms fix, theme it up and away we go.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flemmard:
Okay guys, it's done :)

We can present you Virtuous Unity v1.24.0

A few notes

To get support from the team a FULL wipe is required. Without a wipe we can't help you if you have problems

Some changes REALLY need a full wipe to fully work, you can try a non wipe install, but do NOT report any bugs until you wiped.

G2 users do NOT need the DZ hboot yet

You'll find downloads and infos here.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dweller88:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SG_Shadow:
Quick question...

I have read the OP that clearly states FULL WIPE. I was wondering if that applied to the updates or just coming from another ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] StripLV:
Exactly these two things I also wanna know please.

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SG_Shadow:
For whatever it's worth, I did a nandroid backup and just flashed v1.24.0 on top of the original. So far so good. I, of course removed that god awful HTC Camera and install the AOSP camera for better function and categorizing of photos. If you are interested, don't forget to get the swype keyboard from my signature! If you do, slam that thanks button!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] raa320:
where did u get the camera zip file? i hate htc camera app 2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SG_Shadow:
I think I got it from one of those tmo leaked ROM's. Just because of the way the HTC camera files pictures/videos, I hate it. With that said, if you remove the HTC Camera, don't forget to also install the 3D Gallery. They work together. Also, I would recommend keeping the HTC Gallery if you use HTC picture widgets as I do.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
Are you kidding? One of the reasons I stick with sense is because I despise the aosp camera app. It's so boring and useless.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bigmoew:
Any body else having trouble connecting with wifi calling?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] skulk3r:
I agree. AOSP camera looks and feels clunky and disgusting. Sense camera has so many functions and just looks great.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] drizztSA:
BTW. For those wanting to be able to read and write arabic language follow instructions from the link below. It patches framework.jar and libandroid.run.so. Itroed myself and it works. Can devs check this and if not too much trouble incorporate in next builds.

I have it happen on sense roms as well as occasionally on CM rom. Must be a beta thing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] android602:
Well I flashed 1.24...I wiped before flashing..everything is great so far except twice already that the phone has frozen on me..once on my home screen, the second time on the lock screen..waited for a couple of minutes , still was frozen so both time I had to take the battery out to reset everything..why did it freeze? Is it cuz It's not 1.2 ghz...and i did a full wipe

So how is the 'relocated app' on this version? Is the "factory reset' back to normal?

It's with a Black backgrouns bootscreen now in 1.24.0? SLEEK! and LOVE IT!

relocated "app" is not in this version. They have said maybe next version.

Corrupt File

Virtuous download center file is corrupted. The clockworkmod refuses to flash even though i redownloaded few times to make sure of clean transfer. first rom was good though and i will be looking forward to next week for next release. for now, i am stuck on cyanogen as i did full wipe without backup. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SG_Shadow:
This ROM is the truth!

If you don't believe me, just flash it. If you love sense rom's as much as I do, this is easily the best in the dev section for g2. PERIOD!

On a side note, I will not report any bugs, given the fact that I DID NOT do a FULL WIPE when updating. I honestly just don't feel like reconfiguring all my apps. Too lazy, LMAO!

What benefits does m-deejay's OC kernel give? I think 1.2 is sufficient - does it give anything else? very technical when i read the description...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Diamondback:
Well not really ;) You are the first one to report this and others reported successful flashs, so the file surely is not corrupted on the server.

What's the error message CWM gives you?

What has changed in 1.24.0? Or is this just a compilation of the original ROM + Patch 1?

Hello,

I have the first version of unity and the data don't work ...

I test with the original radio (not work...), with the .16 (who work fine before with virtuous vision...) and now with .30 (and don't work...).

Have you an idea for me please ??

If I go to the new version of unity (1.24), did you think it solve my problem ?

Thanks to you
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Puffballofdoom:
Did you wipe completely? Maybe wipe again and do a reflash. Fixes most of the problems..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] grosminetiti:
Hello,

Yes I wipe (and all reset possible before installing...)

I will test a new time (all reset, wipe...) and new flash of the rom...

Thanks to you, I tested and say to you...

I hope you can add to your to-do list the resizing of HTC Locations. This is merely a graphical glitch, but the Locations program works perfectly. This would be awesome!

Cheers to all the Devs!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Diamondback:
Nope not possible. HTC Locations is not decodable, so we cannot resize it.

We are looking at including the old DHD locations app.
