Yes, me too. I had problems for a long time with 1.26 (regular freezes, reboots, crashes and lock-ups), even after adding the OC patch, then eventually flashed the alternative kernal (Unity V3 2.6.35.13_OC1708_UV900_SLQB_CIFS_TUN_VR_EXT4_2WCR) and it seemed to have stablised just at the point 1.27 came out. After all the problems I was eager to try 1.27 in the hope it fixed them - but it has been much worse, often rebooting endlessly in succession before I have had chance to change anything (while Sense loads etc.). I tried flashing the alternative kernal, the OC patch, even going back to using CPU Tuner, but it still seemed unstable.

I have now reverted back to 1.26 with the alternative kernal and - fingers crossed - so far seems more stable. This is the first time I have had to revert with any of RMK's ROMs, so there is clearly something here my device doesn't like.

I'm all for this, at some point the spot where the Send button is will begin to stick and the phone will start sending texts or making calls on its own - the latter happened whereby the touchscreen was sticking in one area and started making calls halfway through a text or scrolling up whilst i typed out a text.

Wow this Sense Rom is amazing
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stumpyz9:
haven't tried 1.27.0yet but downloading now. just got done installing the dz HBOOT and tried the doubbleshot port and its a bit better hoping it will do the same with this. great job devs.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
please just stop. this is just going to turn into a flame war if it keeps on going.

I'm not sure if my memory is going, or if there is a different behavior since I switched over to Unity. I'm guessing, if it's real, then it's due to Sense 3.0...

The Calendar Widget set to "Agenda" style, and here it is 7:48pm PST, yet I can see all my meetings since I started this morning.

I could swear that in the past once the meeting was past time, the Agenda widget would scroll past it so basically your next upcoming event was always at the top.

This is also happening using the Agenda view if you open the calendar.

Anyone able to help either confirm my finding, or reproduce it, or correct me that this is either how it should be, or has always been? :confused:

Other than that, this has got to be one of the coolest ROM's I've had on a phone ever - it's amazing smooth and seems much more well rounded (mostly due to sense maturing) with the interfaces!

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] codecxbox:
I have a strange request.

If its possible to pull out HTCCAMERA and its related framework from the Doubleshot rom and install it to Sense 3.0

I have done kitchen modding before for the Motorola cliq before, and I wonder is its the same process

Its just i find the camera implementation from the doubleshot better with rotating autofocus feature.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
yeah, just pulling the APK results in broken "panorama" and "burst" modes... but everything else seems to work... doubleshot camera is a really nice camera, that's for sure!\

edit: added to bugtracker as a "requested feature"... we'll see what happens... =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] codecxbox:
Thanks a lot.. Hopefully it will be done
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stumpyz9:
yah the doubleshot camera is a lot nicer than the unity one. would love to see this added in.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stumpyz9:
anyone know where the gingerbread ghostly messaging app is located? i want to delete it but havent been able to find it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nonione:
use titanium backup to find it and delete it from there
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] codecxbox:
And it seems that its not only cosmetics. I find the Doubleshot camera takes way better pictures. I can only guess that the MT4 is better tuned for HTC lenses.

Yes

This use to be a problem when Virtuous first came out and I remembered this fix.

I have tested this fix on this rom and its working great. I now have FULL size MMS pictures.

I downloaded Virtuous Unity 1.0.0 rom, opened it with winzip, went into system/customize/MNS/default.xml and edited the default.xml file with wordpad, scrolled all the way to the bottom of the document, second up from the bottom you'll find this below, now just change the text (I highlighted it in red) that says "HTC_Sensation_Z710e/1.0" to say "Nexusone",

<!-- MMS UA string -->

<module name="MMS">

<function name="ua_string">

<set name="single">

<item name="value">HTC_Sensation_Z710e/1.0</item>

</set>

</function>

</module>

when your done it should look like this, but not highlighted in red of course:

<!-- MMS UA string -->

<module name="MMS">

<function name="ua_string">

<set name="single">

<item name="value">Nexusone</item>

Get Root Explorer and do it from there just change those value

mount the card via Root Explorer

update: I tried changing it directly from Root Explorer but didnt work, I suppose I could do a full date wipe and see if that fixes it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] FMATTU:
You can take things a step further by changing the mms msg sizes to 300k, 600k, and 1000k to get even bigger pictures. I used "myTouch_4G_Slide" as the value (TMOUS users). I got this from using the values from the Doubleshot rom and it works beautifully.

(Tried before to edit the XML using Astro and ES File Explorer but the changes won't stick so used XML Notepad successfully)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Blackman778g:
Hmmmm.. any idea on how to get apps2sd ext working? I finally manned up and want to get back to ext just like G1 days... But this rom won't allow me. Also "df -h" doesn't work in this Rom so I can see my partition table...

Sent from my Magical Green Pickel from Walmart in Gotham City.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TrueYears:
So, you unzip the file, edited the file, zip it again and flashed it?

I changed the values via ES File Explorer and it seemed like the change stuck but didnt fix anything
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
MMS fix on O2 UK

Yeah with me, I had to do a full wipe before the changes came into effect. I didn't really receive really tiny pics in the first place, but they were reduced to around 80K on average even if they were sent as 300K files.

I changed default.xml to mimic an original HTC Desire (it's a safe bet as Desires sold like crazy here in the UK). I edited the string to "HTC_Desire Build/ERE27", dropped the file back into the ROM zip, did a full wipe, and flashed the modified ROM file.

It worked brilliantly. So I tried doing a partial restore of the /data partition from a Nandroid backup of Unity I did just before wiping. This just brought back receiving smaller mms pic files, so I guess that there are settings in the /data partition that gets provisioned based on default.xml only on initial fresh setup. It might explain why any subsequent changes to default.xml has no effect (at least on my phone anyway).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
Thanks!!! it works great as you said it would be :cool:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] FMATTU:
I did not have to uzip and zip. When I did it that way it gave me errors when trying to flash. Maybe an error somewhere on my part but it seemed to work for the op joemm. I just replaced the default XML file with the edited one while it was still 'zipped'. As the op joemm said you need to completely wipe and flash the edited rom. Do not restore a backup otherwise you will lose your edited values I believe.

( 'myTouch_4G_Slide' may only work for TMOUS users. Others can subsitiute the name of the device that works for them in their respective countries with their carriers)

Hi.

I have tried intalling the rom but it wont boot.(1.27.00 GB)

Downloaded from Rom manager.

I get the htc log and then a black screen.

I do a full wipe with recovery before installing it

i tried putting the one with less overclock still the same.

can anybody tell me what to do?

thanks

Did you change the hboot? If not read the original post in detail.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theone10:
I did. I am S-0ff. If that is what you mean.

Ok. i see. what you mean. Thanks

Edit: all fixed thanks for your help. I just miss read the instructions.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
np. Just hit the thanks button beside my name. And if you want to overclock, you need to get root explorer and change.the virtuous_oc files in the etc folder. Of course you need to first change you files on your phone from read only to change it. On pg 148 of this thread out treks you the commands you can use in an shell or terminal

Arabic support (read write Arabic not UI)

I installed the ROM on my G2 and I loved it but unfortunately no Arabic support. I need only to be able to read/write Arabic and keep the English UI, any chance we can get that in this ROM ?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Delta105RUS:
I gave up on this ROM. I think that sense is awesome, rmk is a great dev, but I shouldn't have to change my hboot for a ROM. People say that rmk "gave up on G2". it might not be such a big deal to flash DZ's hboot, but the only things a good ROM must require you to do... is to download ROM Manager

I have a lot of respect for rmk, but I'm noving to MIUI.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Rmk has hardly given up the g2, there are 4 Roms in active development. The DZ hboot really isn't that big a deal.

The whole point of this forum is to discover new ways to improve our phones, which rmk did. Sense 3.0 didn't fit on to the G2 so he found a solution.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
You seriously need to be ***** slapped!!!

you. have. to. be. kidding. me!

are you seriously that naive to say such a thing. you obviously have NO UNDERSTANDING of what it takes to develop, port and modify a ROM so that it will work "properly" with a particular device...

1) this rom requires a larger /system partition, due to the size of the /system/app folder

2) G2 wasn't meant to have sense, it was designed for AOSP roms, hence the reason it's hboot allocates fewer MB for the /system partition.

3) DZ was built for sense, and they probably knew that down the line they were going to need a bit more /system space for gingerbread updates, so the nipped that in the bud from the get-go and made the /system partition slightly larger

4) changing the hboot is for ONE SINGULAR PURPOSE, to expand the /system partition to fit the contents of the rom properly into the /system partition, so that the rom can function as it should and you aren't losing a bunch of your data to a "symlinked" /system/app folder...

if you call this "unnecessary" to have the DZ hboot on your G2, then fine, enjoy your MIUI iPhone crap... but don't come in here saying that RMK has given up on the G2 simply because it was NECESSARY to do something to make room for the /system partition... the only other thing that could possibly be done is to somehow compress ALL the system apk's to a point that the rom would look like **** due to super compressed graphics... seriously, I think you need to get your head checked... that or you still have A LOT of learning to do when it comes to ROMs and why things are done the way they are...

Seriously, everyone calm down? I frequent multiple XDA sections and this happens in every single one. All those that are trying to police this thread, you honestly think people are going to stop posting stupid questions?

on an on topic note, which of the following can I safely remove without my phone exploding:

Call History (i just don't like the icon in the app drawer)

Connected Media

Downloads

Flashlight

Gingerbread Ghostly (is there seriously a disappearing SMS issue?)

HTC Hub

Locations

Mail

News

Peep

Quick Lookup

Setup

Stocks

Wi-Fi Hotspot

I would just use a different launcher all together and hide the apps, but it seems like even when I do, the RAM usage stays the same. Is there a way to freeze the HTC apps?

hey guys .... i flashed this rom on my microwave and now it doesnt make the popcorns anymore. :D

btw guys chill out.... there is alot alot alot of flamming on this thread for the last 6 or 7 pages continuously.... maybe its time everyone should either start ignoring posts asking why they are bootlooping on G2 without flashing DZ hboot..... or let the ppl who are willing to post stuff like " install DZ hboot or read OP" comment on such posts.....

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
it's an ongoing thing I believe. Mostly I see it when you have different on and off peak sync schedule (for example: I have all my emails to sync every hour between 10am to midnight. otherwise it will be a manual sync)

I don't really know exactly what causes this, but some of my observations are that it can get interrupted (the sync frequency) when it goes to sync and could not get an internet connection because either/and your wifi is not connected to anything or you have no cell/mobile network signal.

Another observation is that sometimes it relies on your on/off peak schedule to sync, but sometimes it relies on when you manually sync.

I personally do not know what causes it to stop syncing but hopefully some of these observations will help in some way shape or form for someone who might figure it out.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SG_Shadow:

A handful of us are having said Calendar issue so IMO its worth looking into. :/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amack10:
just curious if changing the h bot will effect anything other than the partitions. from what im getting when i flash the new h boot it only makes the system partition bigger so i can use bigger sized roms and makes my data partition smaller. does it affect anything else do we loose any memory since the desire z has less than the g2. will it make me not able to use other roms like cm? oh and i havent messed with putting apps on my sd since my g1. but if i go into settings> manage apps and click move to sd does that just move the app data to the sd. and whats the differecne between that and the link to sd app.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arich:
Sometimes I'll spike up to around 7mbps but it won't last, and SpeedTest says I'm only connecting via UMTS, the real giveaway is that my upload speed never crosses the 1mbps threshold. It's driving me nuts. But the calendar issue is the worst, its making it hard for me to keep track of my life.

Unless you have hundreds of apps installed on your phone and get to the point where you regularly fill up the data partition. Changing to the DZ hboot will have no affect on the way your phone works or what ROM's you can install

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Scythe01:
Some of the stock ROMs features are either no longer present or broken.

Here are some of the things I've come across thus far

Calendar not syncing with Google - broken, attempts to sync but nothing happens

3G/HSPDA - a bug in which the 3G icon makes an occasional appearance before quickly ninjavanishing and turning back into a H

Inverts the X and/or Y axis and selects icons on the opposite side of the touchscreen - could either be my phone or a ROM hard keyboard issue (possibly linked to the ROM thinking the user has pressed Alt or has pressed it but hadn't cleared this from memory)

1) I try to open Messages via a Direct Message shortcut on the homescreen and it selects an icon to Direct Dial someone which is on the opposite side -

2) Whilst typing a message using the hard keyboard in the Messages app the phone will either:

a. Force the cursor to jump the first line of my message

b. Randomly jumps to the first message in a thread and even after scrolling back down to the input box it will jump right up to the top again

c. Highlight the last message in a thread

3) At one point it went berserk thought I hadn't pressed Alt/FN and Quick Launched apps - clearing the shortcuts in Quick Launch solved this:

a. Pressing B launched the Browser and

b. Pressing M opened Messages

Google Maps will start upon boot and won't close itself to free up a teensy bit of memory, not only that but it sits idle and drains battery power (none of the Locations settings are checked). Settings, People and some other apps also do the same.

However despite all these problems I still love this ROM because I know its still a work in progress and there are bound to be errors lurking about so I just get on with it, and hope that a fix comes along at some point.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jandyman:
I second this bug as very quite inconvienient :)

Also very often in 3g areas the phone randomly wont connect to 3g only gprs(g on status bar) after ages it suddenly decides to go 3g again. Its a bit of a pain as browsing is alot slower on gprs and their doesnt seem to be a setting to solve it. Also when i tuned on my wifi today to search for networks i got a full lockup and had to perform a battery pull.

Besides these little things im loving it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Scythe01:
Ah, am glad its not a phone issue because this is a brand new replacement handset(only been using it a few weeks now) and that I'm not the only observent one who likes to take things to pieces. :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
I believe i have already answered this for you last time. here it is again.

This happens when the calendar storage gets messed up. you have to go into settings --> Applications --> Manage applications --> All --> Calendar Storage (not calendar, but calendar storage) then clear the data on it. Then resync your calendar and you should be all set.

now i remember someone talking about how going into the app management part (where you can stop, uninstall, clear data, etc) makes it go haywire/crazy with blinking and stuff, that is normal. what it is trying to do is to analyze all your apps to see what is there and what isn't. You just have to let it finish, hit back, and go back into calendar storage and clear data.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Scythe01:
Tried both and niether one worked for me since the Google calendar isn't even listed when I go into the Calendar app.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
