[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shortlived:
Im going to try to answer some questions that i can.

Wipe? Always if you want support. Its almost impossible to troubleshoot if you dont wipe. Now you could always try with no wipe, then wipe if you have problems. Then post here if it worked fine.

Why keep thjings on /system? They are supposed to be there! From what i understand the old workaround of putting stuff on the /data partition makes doing a factory reset kill some important apps. So you could never do a factory reset without having to reflash the rom.

Should i stick with the .15 radio that came with the hboot?

Just my opinion switch to the .30 radio. I had issues that were fixed by switching to the .30 radio.

Crt, battery %..... There are new files that you can flash to add these features to the .26 version. I would link it but im mobile right now so do a search. P.s. the .25 crt animation dos work on .26 but you will get a car icon for your battery.

I think that it hope it helps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
I believe the 0.85.0005 Hboot IDE the retail version. The .0.84.2000 is the eng version that allows fastboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] alexgarrett:
Siulmagic ported CoreDroid over to our devices, and it has the 2.1 rosie you're describing. It's a great Rom, you should check it out
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
hi, i have a desire Z, but my hboot is 0.76.2000 does this mean i have a G2 hboot and need to flash the desire z hboot? if yes can someone please supply me with the file to flash in bootloader?

thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Yes you have the G2 hboot, Instructions and download can be found here

Anyone experiencing any slow downs/lag with this rom? Delays when opening applications?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mnemoch:
Any hints on search terms? I find links for the Desire; would those files work? Really missing battery % too! Thanks...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mnemoch:
No delays or slow downs, fastest ROM I have ever used... I was on Virtuous 1.82 for a long while but very happy I have switched over.

Battery life I hope settles down however (as I see others have good results)...I think part of the problem is when you have just flashed I use the phone a lot setting back up so actually use it more than I normally would. Hope that's the case because I was at 35% after 4 hours!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] T0pp3r:
And what about Hboot 0.85.0005 ? Do i need to flash V0.84.2000 ?? I don't know how to see the partition table of my device, if the /system is allowed by 535MB or not.

Regards.

Hello, just flash the 1.26...

Great ROM :) thanks a new time :)

Some little problems :

1 ) With the Lock Screen (Meteo), the Meteo don't appears correctly, just the time and date and the unlock but no weather and shortcuts visibles...

2 ) I don't have the possibility to choose my provider directly for data (I'm in Belgium with Mobile Viking...I choose Base, it's the same rules but some others carriers are in and use Base too why don't integrate Mobile Viking...)

3 ) I don't have the French (Belgium) in the choose of language... (ok with Morelocale but if it's possible to have in the Rom it will be great :) )

Thanks to the team for the great job and sorry for my bad english...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SG_Shadow:
I really love the new feature of this rom.

*Summon all newbs that don't know how to search for answers.*

On a side note, it took me all of five minutes to setup adb, flash dz h boot and flash the latest version. The most time was spent downloading the files needed over slow at&t dsl. Also this rom is amazing! Thanks for the great work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eggm0nster:
This might sound crazy... but someone from Virtuous chat suggested using LPP instead of Rosie launcher so I redownloaded LPP. Used it for a bit but decided to switch back to the Rosie launcher and now ROM seems faster than before...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
First off, .26 is a great rom, really enjoying it. It is working very well, i did a full wipe and have no addons installed. One issue, I have searched high and low and cannot find any solution to the photo frame widget issue. Is this function a planned casualty of this rom? If not, any guidance beyond "search yourself" would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] apa1102:
maybe your DZ(or G2) can't handle 1.2GHz, try this in #1

"For people experiencing random phone Freezes, this is due to overclocking, it's solved by lowering max speed.

Just flash this patch over: http://unity.flemmard.net/patches/vi...freq-patch.zip"

hello, i want to give this rom a shot, has been a while since i applied rom :)

i am still on stock/ota 1.82 rom , rooted with radio vs : 26.03.02.26

can i stull use that radio rom? or is better to upgrade my radio also to : 26.08.04.30 or 26.08.04.16

witch one?

thnx for the feedback
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CamoGeko:
Well, I'm using this rom with radio .17 and have had no issues.

Communicated from a Galaxy far far away using XDA telepathy.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
So far so good with 1.26.0. Came from 1.25.0, full wipe on an unlocked Desire Z with TELUS Mobility. Using GO Launcher EX, GO SMS Pro, Dolphin HD and Swype instead of the stock apps. Everything looks fantastic using the WebOS system font. ;) The Weather lockscreen works as expected. Freezing the Location apps with Titanium Backup allows me to use Google Maps for address lookups from the Sense calendar and contact apps.

Things are generally very fast and smooth. Battery life isn't the greatest, although unchanged from 1.25.0. I bought the phone secondhand a week ago, and a Mugen 1800 mAh battery is being delivered, so I will reserve judgement until then. I'm running with the stock OC settings (245 MHz -> 1.2 GHz).

A few things I've noticed:

The #2 app shortcut key on the keyboard does not seem to retain its setting. The #1 key works fine, but often the #2 key will just take me back to the "Would you like to assign a shortcut?" screen. It will work for a few tries, then when I come back to it later, it has forgotten its setting.

I would like to get the numeric readout in the battery icon. I see there is a flashable mod for 1.26 for the DHD... is that safe to use with the DZ?

Still seeing the occasional problem with auto-brightness (e.g., at max brightness sometimes, or flipping between two brightness levels every second or so).

No dealbreakers, though. Great ROM, guys!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
Oh, since we have wake-on-trackpad, would it be possible to also have lock-on-trackpad, but only from the lockscreen itself and not anywhere else? That will allow me to quickly press the trackpad, check the weather, and press it again to shut off the display. The power button already behaves this way, but with the case I'm using, it's more difficult to press it than the trackpad.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Frank_071:
Guys, call me stupid but... I do not understand how you change roms that fast. One of you 'bragged' about doing hboot and rom in less than 5 minutes. I want to believe that, but my after my last full-wipe-rom-install it took me quite a while to restore all relevant data (apps, call log, messages, contacts, calendar, etc). I am using Titanic (of course). Would be greatful for tips about quick restore...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Max):
Titanic is going under water, use Titanium backup instead ;)

Please Help

Hello I am using a tmobile G2 and I fallowed all the instructions I found.. To factory reset and all that which i did in clockwork 3.0.2.4 and then I flashed the file and hit reboot when it was done.. didn't notice any errors said it was successful and then when I reboot it shows the HTC boot screen then it restarts to the HTC boot screen and goes to clockwork recovery.. what am I doing wrong? please help I would love to try sense 3.0

thank you
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
I've seen this asked somewhere else before - apparently, it's a rather big task, and would essentially render the touchpad useless for everything else (i.e. turn it into just a button instead of a d-pad).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] trsanning:
Sounds like you still have the G2 hboot. Follow instructions here http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mardenator:
Just flashed the 1.26.0 version, and it keeps booting me back into recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] alexgarrett:
@Max - make sure you spring for the donate version of Titanium Backup, it's well worth it. You get a one click batch restore instead of having to physically ok each install
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
Please see the post above yours.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hova08:
after flashing the dzhboot do i still need to do a full wipe to flash to 1.26??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
That would be fine... as long as it only behaved this way on the lockscreen. Once the screen is unlocked, immediately rebind the trackpad functionality back to normal. I don't think the d-pad is used for anything on the lockscreen anyway. Oh well...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
Yes. It makes sure there isn't anything left over that could cause problems.

What kernel do you use for the smooth performance of this ROM?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] asj2583:
Dude it super easy and i didnt bother with adb. All i did was i download the hboot and moved it to the root of sd card. Powered the phone off and booted the phone by holding volume down down and pressing power. Youll be ask if you want to update and press volume up to proceed. After your done you be asked to press power to reboot, press it. When it powers back on youll go back to hboot and be asked if you want to update again so what you need to do is pull the battery and move the hboot to another place or delete it so you wont be asked if you want to update again. Ok with the phone off press and hold volume down and press power and select recovery to boot into clockwork. Factory reset and flash rom and youll be good to go. Let me know if you have any issues. This is a bit longer but it works and anyone can do it.

Has anyone been able to get XviD files to playback on this rom? The only way I've been able to get them to work is with Rock Box in sw decoding mode.

Boot loop! I did a regular wipe, installed 1.2.6 and it keeps rebooting into recovery. Restored 1.2.5.

P.S.= I am a noob, I don't know what a "superwipe" is. I just use the ROM manager.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
are you using the G2? if so then you need to read the instructions again since you need to change your partition to a different type (i.e the Desire Z partition)

Hi all, wanna ask, I notice my "display" is taking 81% of the battery, any advise of reducing it ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Turn auto brightness off and manually set brightness to the lowest comfortable level
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] quizesilver:
Ok, is that all ? I also off the animation
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Not a huge amount else you can do. Display will always use a lot of battery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dicko99:
Thanks for that. Just one small point, the V1.25.0 version of battery percentage showed the numbers whilst the battery was charging too. It appears yours does not.

Has anyone tried using the places button on the friendstream widget?

Whenever I press it I get a popup asking me if HTC Salsa can use facebook features. Pressing ok takes me to a loading screen and then the question keeps popping up.

Has anyone seen this behaviour?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
Thank you for that, very much needed!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dicko99:
A small cosmetic issue I just noticed...

If I move an app to the SD card and it has a shortcut on a rosie screen, when I reboot the phone it loses the icon and just displays a standard android one.

Don't think I've seen this with other ROMs but it's definitely been in the last two versions of this one.

I'm guessing it a timing issue between mounting the SD card and rosie trying to grab the icons?

R.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mintaeroboy:
With 1.26 a super wipe is needed,

1. Use titanium only for market app data else, what's the point in wiping the system

2. Crt aimation please direct link please

3. Great ROM

4.any chance of having themes?

5. There's a bug where you pull down the drawer then open the keybroad and the total memory box has no numbers thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mnemoch:
I tried it without wiping and thought I got away, but then calendar wouldn't sync, and Gmail wouldn't work and then and then and then :P so I wiped and reflashed and everything works perfect... :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Frank_071:
So you loose your contacts, calendar, call logs, SMS messages, account settings, etc. every time you update?

F
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
To some degree - Yes. Contacts and calendar is in the cloud, so these will soon be synced over grom Google, but... It's the price to pay for living on the edge, I suppose. That's also why I still use "old" Virtuous Froyo/Sense 2. Too much work keeping up with the rapid development of Unity Sense at this point. Somewhere in time when things settle, and no wipe updates are possible with Unity, I'll perhaps reconsider.

overclock speed

Hi people, i am currently using the old virtuous rom running at 1500mhz permenently (with no probs)

, and only just found out about this rom today, and cos of this, i havnt read every post on the 100+ pages, so could i ask if there is a kernal that allows overclocking to this speed or higher with this rom? Thanks..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jhhest:
Maybe you can use cpu spy.. it shows which frequencies are used and how much they are used. Is uses a graphical interface. Easy to work with.

Hope this helps you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
Stock clock speed is 1.2GHz, and it does overclock to 1.5GHz, but it's controlled by a custom daemon. Info on it here. They don't recommend using SetCPU or anything like that and they are working on a GUI to control it easier.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] F033x:
an interactive gui would be much preferred.

ive been having some issues adjust the config files for the cpu frequencies, it just crashes everytime i attempt to adjust a value.

any ideas? :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
As mentioned in the DHD thread I linked, you need to use a file manager app that can gain superuser permissions like Root Explorer to change system files. You can do it using adb as well.

Actually, I just changed my wake max frequency to 806MHz with Root Explorer and rebooted and I nothing crashed or gave errors.

Hey i am struggling to get this rom to work on my T-Mobile G2... I feel like a noob because i don't want to use adb and don't know how to. i think i read i need to go get a dz hboot on my tmobile to get some partition to work or something. I also hear i need to do a superwipe? i don't know what that is... all i used so far is rom manager to do this, i downloaded rom from rom manager, backed up rom, wiped davlik cache, wiped system and data, and installed zip from sd card. all through rom manager, it even said successfully installed zip from sd card. so i go to reboot all full of joy and i get a present... A BOOT LOOP!!! so frustrated because i cant find my answer to get out of this boot loop i restored my rom. I need EXTREMELY in depth tutorial on how to install this rom on a g2, or how to do a superwipe, or how to get the DZ Hboot on the g2 ( the dz hboot a video tutorial would be nice so i can see, im a bit of a visual learner) I REALLY want this rom for my phone but i cant seem to get it to work for my g2. any sort of help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you guys for making a solid rom i have read great reviews on it! its just my noobish mind cant figure this out. and thanks in advance for all future replies to my question!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] F033x:
Hah my bad i just noticed the config files weren't writeable in the file explorer.

Just curious though, did you change your governor as well?

I've been considering trying out the smartass governor.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
No, I didn't change the governor and smartass isn't available. However, there is this, and this. I haven't tried either with 1.26 and don't know how well they work with the oc daemon.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Delta105RUS:
I'll look into that, but will that mean that I will have difficulty installing other ROMs or reverting to stock?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] F033x:
Im using that first kernel and its fantastic, its just all hit-or-miss right now with trying frequencies and governors (as too much of either seems to cause this rom to freeze up).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] misfit61871:
Hey bro I just gotta tell you that you should get familiar with ADB it is not as intimidating as it sounds, trust me I am not very proficient with alot of this stuff. But I found plenty of sources in the threads to get ADB up and running very quickly and the benefits of using it are enormous, the biggest one for me is that if I happen to brick my phone somehow I now know how to undo that with ADB.

It is true that you can do most of your flashing etc without it, but it is nice to know that you have a second option just in case something goes wrong.

There is a link on the OP to install the DZ Hboot you need this for this ROM to work, but it requires ADB. Also there is a post on page 107 of this thread that shows you how to install the dz hboot without ADB.

Superwipe is a flashable zip, do a search and you will find a DL in the forums, you don't actually need it since you can wipe via ROM manager, but it is a handy tool.

And some advice from one noob to another: READ, READ and READ somemore through the threads, BEFORE you start asking questions or else some of the not so patient people will flame you.

I am more than happy to help you out if you have more questions, I have spent many hours reading threads and figuring things out with the help of these forums and some nice people.

You should not have any issues using other ROM's with the DZ Hboot partition, it just changes /system and /data sizes so you can run larger ROM's like Unity.

I installed the dz partition and all my other backups work just fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CodeMonkey-10:
Hey thanks for quick reply! also if i do get the DZ hboot the rom should not get stuck in a boot loop? i really appreciate the quick reply, I like reading through these forums i pick up a bit here and there. and i will take your advice and get to know adb, i will be switching to the dz hboot soon and will give feedback! thanks again! from a lower class noob to the upper class noob who seems to understand a lot more than me!!! haha ;)

How's WiFi calling working for everyone? I'm using this ROM on the my touch and it doesn't have it but apparently the g2 does.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] alexgarrett:
Hey man, I installed this rom without using adb to install the dz hboot. Download the PC10IMG and the rom from the OP and place them on the root of your sd card. Reboot to BOOTLOADER and it will automagically know you want to update your bootloader. Press the volume up button to do so. Once that has finished it will tell you to press the power button to reboot. Do that, and it will boot to a white HTC screen. This is NORMAL so don't panic, lol. Pull the battery and then put your sd card in another phone or a card reader and delete the PC10IMG file, otherwise you won't be able to boot into RECOVERY to flash the rom because it will think you're updating your bootloader everytime you try. Once that is done, put your sd back into your g2 and hold volume down and power to get to the bootload screen again, but this time select RECOVERY. This will take you to CWM where you can flash Unity. I didn't wipe or superwipe or anything when I did this due to the fact that flashing the dz hboot clears EVERYTHING, lol. I have had no problems, and the rom runs really smooth and everything behaves as it should. I hope this helps!

Installation problems after DZ Hboot

Hello all,

Please please help asap, I havent been able to use my phone since last night. I followed the directions on updating the DZ hboot on my G2 from the vision website, hboot updated all went well.

Of course I was stuck at htc lockscreen so I adb into recovery to flash my new 1.26 version of the rom and I get the error here:

Formatting system...

E:Error in /sdcard/virtuous_unity-vision-v1.26.0(1).zip

It sounds like there's a problem with the zip. If you made a backup, which you SHOULD have, wipe and flash that. Then redownload 1.26 via pc because it is huge (300+ MB :eek:) and then wipe and flash it. Otherwise, download 1.25 or another ROM and flash it.
