Lol i did repeat myself saying to make sure its calendar storage not calendar haha

Ill look into font size and color thing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] skulk3r:
could we perhaps titanium backup it and then flash unity and restore it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
Interesting that you guys want this. I installed the Doubleshot ROM on my G2 specifically to check out the camera, but switched back to Unity, again, due to the camera.

Unity v1.26 (and I assume v1.27) has all the same features (including panorama and HDR), but it's laid out MUCH better IMO (easier access to various features). The only thing missing is the burst mode (which I would LOVE to have).

What is it you prefer in the Doubleshot/Espresso camera app?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
I have started a thread which has a collection of some of the themes and mods that are availble for this ROM. Check it out here

If there are any themes or mods that you know of that I have missed please PM me or reply in the thread and I will add them
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
Some people have said the Doubleshot camera takes sharper pictures. I think the self-portrait mode still doesn't work properly with the Doubleshot camera either.

I'm still undecided as to whether the Doubleshot photos are actually sharper. Personally I like tweaking my camera settings as per the excellent "Desire HD Camera guide". Much of the advice it gives there applies to the Vision camera too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
there is no carpanel app but it is still possible to access it by going to locations and go to carpanel through there. but some of it is not properly scaled
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DanWilson:
Really? How? I see no option in the Locations app...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Scythe01:
I must've misread it and thanks, really appreciate it - if possible can there also be no transparency on the Agenda widget.

Waiting anxiously for Today's Release!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
You will be waiting a long time. They have moved to bi-weekly releases. So nothing until next Monday I'm afraid
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Scythe01:
Kinda bitter-sweet.

They have a little longer to work on the ROM and test it alot longer and harder but we have to wait two weeks for each release.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
open locations, then touch the car icon at the top
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] myxcon:
Actually that's wrong. It's bi-weekly release due to the fact that the ROM is somewhat stable with less and less bugs/errors thus not needing a weekly release.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] antinerd:
Is there a theme similar to Virtuous Doubleshot available for this rom? I like this rom very much, but I find the slightly darker theme of Virtuous Doubleshot more visually appealing. I've always liked darker themes, they always look a bit more polished and professional-looking to me. I guess its just a personal thing...

edit...

Sorry, I just saw a link to a bunch of awesome theme a few posts back!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DanWilson:
Not the same thing. Unless your phone is special. :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hova08:
Why wasn't the small mms fix pre-built into this rom?? it was in the last one. Now i have to reflash again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] trapdogg:
I pulled the htccamera.apk from the doubleshot rom saved it to memory card used root explorer to rename og htccamera.apk app to htccamera.apk.old then just installed it like regular app so far so good

Edit, no force closing but some features not working
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DanWilson:
Does it work though?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
Yes it works, except for burst and panorama.

Oh and that self-portrait thing that never worked to begin with still doesn't work.

EDIT: Oh yeah benjamminzIS reported it too: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15481744&postcount=1645

This is great, thanks! Really liking the "Feed Your Android Lock Ring Mod".
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] codecxbox:
It would be very helpful to know if the pulled out HTCcamera.apk installed to Virtous 3.0 has the same camera quality as in the Doubleshot. Comparing camera stills and videos would be better. The panorama and burst features could be found with other apps, so that would be secondary, if not neccessary. What we are looking for is quality. As i said before, I found that Doubleshot has better quality, but that could be very subjective.

Does the rotating autofocus feature works in virtous 3.0?

Hi,

where can I find the car dock app or car panel app ?

The settings are there but I cant´f find the app.

Can anyone tell me how much free RAM there is after boot? I am liking the G-Lite, but missing Sense-UI more and more. I've looked through a few pages and couldn't find it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slovoflud:
Tried the ROM once again, still too laggy

is it the same for everyone? hickups, FCs, reboots ?

Currently on MIUI, loving everything about it, but still miss Sense sometimes.

Offtopic - anyone knows a good screen capture tool? something in the lines of AndroSS - but that one isn't quite there yet.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Puffballofdoom:
Laggy? No sir! Same for FCs and reboots. I have non of the issue you say :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
its was a little laggy on the homescreen sometimes but i switched kernels to the unity v3 kernel and there were no lags after that
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
for me there is around 118M of ram after app kill but on average there is around 90M of free ram
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
same as i have told other people. you should change kernels. i have changed to the kernel unity V3 which allows stable overclocking to 1.7 ghz. click the link in my signature
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slovoflud:
Thanks, but wouldn't 1.7 suck the battery like a .. ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jandyman:
Iv been having fairly bad battery life lately, today the fone was in sleep mode ALL DAY as i was busy except for 10 minutes playing music at the very end before i screen grapped the batt stats here they are: this doesnt look right? Shouldnt it be a long slowly decending line when in sleep? Not this up and down thing which usually indicates device being awake/in use. If an app is the cause any ideas how to check which one?

Also wifi: OFF 3g/alldata:OFF gps:Off autosync etc:OFF and juicedefender running.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] redpoint73:
I had random reboots once or twice a day on 1.26, but the fix on the first post fixed it. Haven't had any random reboots since 1.27 (patch not applied). Also haven't noticed any excessive FC's.

ShootMe works fine for screenshots.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
i said you can overclock UP TO 1.7ghz, you can still keep it at 800mhz if you want
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
it is probably an app unless you have overclocked your phone. you may beable to checkwhich one if your able to scroll down to see what other things drain the battery after the voice call. if not you can download 3rd party apps like battery indicator
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
It probably won't help slovoflud if he's not a fan of this ROM but screen capture is built into Unity. Try pressing the Power button and the Home key simultaneously.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jandyman:
Android os:3% and tapatalk/messaging around 2%, so no luck there also its only overclocked to the default for this rom ,1.2 i tink :)

Also if any could recommend kernal they find decent for battery it wud be appreciated :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
lolz as i stated before, Unity V3 is an excellent kernel for this rom. link is in my signature
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
The fact that you get a less steep line in the first quarter of your graph indicates that the battery drain wasn't so bad initially. It does suggest that a rogue process may have taken over and produced the battery drain subsequently. I doubt that this is a ROM issue, so the following might be viewed as off-topic, but hey. Personally I find battery life with Unity very good.

Others may have their own favourites but I like to use these tools to hunt down rogue processes:

1. System Panel : This is system monitoring tool. It has a real-time indicator for things like the current CPU frequency used, as well as a list of current processes running. If the CPU usage is high as you're using it, this can help find which process it is, but it doesn't track historical usage unless you use the paid version (which is worth getting).

2. Watchdog Lite : This app watches other processes and warns you if one reaches a certain CPU usage threshold. I once had the HTC Sense process burn through my battery trying to sync my HTC Sense account when there was no signal. This app picked it up.

3. Current widget : This widget will give you an indication of battery drain in mA units. There is a log function as well. I use this as a secondary tool to track changes in battery drain. Say my normal drain is -37mA in inactivity and I installed a new widget or app, or flashed a new radio version, I can use this as a rough way to let me know if the thing I did has affected battery life. (The newest version sports a 'Log Analyzer' which promises to tell you which apps are associated with highest battery drain. I found this function a bit inaccurate personally.)

Good luck. :)

Your 3G/HSPDA+(WCDMA) is still on in that pic. :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jandyman:
Thanks il check it out, currently using eugenes streamlined kernal which is 'meant' to be optimized to help battery but im not too sure :P (also it hasnt been updated in awhile)

Yeah i noted that when it was first removed from charger battery was normal for a good while :) and many thanks for apps, i will check if they can help

Lol i know this looks like an epic fail but actually it was only 'just' turned on as i checked tapatalk, but it along with everything else known to drain battery was turned off for the day.

Also another thing which annoys me is the PVWmdrmService and PVWmdrmProxy services, which are always running because i dont know what they are for and this annoys meXD any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hova08:
Something is wrong with the video drivers or something, because when i stream video from my PC it's all grayed out with no color and these are just WMV's. Is there a way to change what program streams the video?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
One bug I just found is that some videos can't be played in portrait mode a in when I try to play some of my videos on portrait mode, half the adverb becomes blue. This only happens to some of my videos and is not a big problem for me as I views most of my videos in landscape. I just wanted to point out this bug.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
How did you manage to OC to 1,5ghz? I can only go up to 1209mhz... above that it becomes laggy/freezes and crashes :confused: I know some phones are performing better than others... but a 300mhz difference is a lot!

Running 1.27 with Unity V3. (368min - 1209max, ondemand)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
Yes I think the bug you're referring to is recognised by the devs (quoted from the Desire HD Unity thread):

Apparently downloading an alternative video player to play in the other orientation is one solution.

Just as a sidenote, in some other ROMs the workaround used by the devs has been to fix the orientation of the playback to the recorded orientation and not allow rotation to alternative orientation.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
Doesn't .27 come standard with this kernel? I have not flashed any kernels and my kernel version is: 2.6.35.13-virtuous-sense-v3.1.0+... Isn't this the Unity V3 kernel you are referring to?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
I think they're different. UNITY V3 allows 2-way call recording, clocks to 1.7Ghz (for those who can!) and has a smartass governor, amongst other things. Some people find better performance with it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mintaeroboy:
The kernel (v3) isn't that stable even overclocked to 1.2ghz it freezes , and when downloading it does and at 1.7ghz after 10mins light use it freezes and you cant switch to the old kernel because there is no download on the site, so beware

Also when restoring system data+apps you might get a android.process.acore force close and a htcime.process which is a ***** because you HAVE to wipe the phone :/ and it pops up every 2 seconds just a warning guys (:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mintaeroboy:
Aslo can we have a simple app like miui so we change are theme and exchange themes and share them, because it would be easier and thats the thing i miss about miui the theme app etc.

Aslo i miss the sms pop-up screen on miui, is there any chance of getting that on this rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mintaeroboy:
Aslo, on miui i never ever lost a sms, is it just a bug on this rom?:/

Aslo any word on 1.29? (.29 because it will be relased on the 29th week of the year)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
well obviouslly your not going to clock it at 1.7 ghz unless you know what your doing. i only keep it at 1.5-1.4 ghz which is very stable for me. also you can just reflash the virtuous unity rom again and the kernel will be wiped. also with every kernel there are glitches. i've flashed this kernel and nothing has gone wrong.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
you can try to reflash it if you want. if not you can still use it at 1.2ghz. even at 1.2ghz, it makes virtuous unity rum more smoothly than the stock kernel. also if you dont like it, you can always reflash the original virutous unity rom again to get rid of it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
Thanks, still on the fence. May give it a try on the default settings.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
All of the things you mention would be quite hard to build in to Unity. Miui has a huge development team and like CM the ROM is built from source.

If you want pop sms you can use a third party messaging app like GOSMS or handcent.

The sms bug is a problem with GingerSense roms.

1.29 will be released Monday Evening GMT.

There are lots of flashable themes available. Check my thread for a big collection of them
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slovoflud:
Thanks a lot for the info! If I decide to give the ROM another go one day, that most definitely will help! I'm a game developer, so screenshot feature is a must - most software leave watermarks or require you to start the process after each screenshot.

for now sticking to MIUI, music player/file manager/screenshot feature are head and shoulders above any third party app at the moment.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jdbye:
I flashed this on my DZ, and it just shows the HTC logo twice and then goes into recovery. Updated radio to the recommended version and still the same problem, so I restored my CM7 backup. Has anyone else had the same problem and/or fixed it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
What hboot are you using?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Eigenwaarde:
I am thinking of switching to this ROM because it looks very nice!

Before I start flashing, I have some questions:

1) How is the battery life of this rom compared to CyanogenMod 7.0.3?

2) So, I currently have CM 7.0.3 on my HTC Desire Z (radio 26.08.04). What steps do I need to take to flash this rom? Just a backup, full wipe and that's it?

3) I read some things about different Hboot versions. Where can I find more information about this, or can someone explain it?

Thanks in advance for answering them! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
You flash this rom as you would any other. The only thing you need to to check is that you are using the DZ hboot.

If you go in to the bootloader you can see which hboot you are using. If you have the DZ hboot it will say 0.84.2000 or if you have the G2 hboot it will say 0.76.2000

You will also want to flash one the gingerbread radios. The check the radio thread for the latest.

Battery life is good, but I would say CM is better. But everyone gets different results depending on there usage
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jdbye:
I'm using the engineering hboot, version 0.76.2000.

Edit: Seems that's the one for the G2 after googling, and the correct version for DZ is 0.84.2000. Guess that's why it didn't work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Eigenwaarde:
OK! Thanks for your reply :)

I just checked, and I have Hboot 0.85.0005 so that seems OK right?

I found this thread for the radio's. But now I don't know which one to choose. Currently I have radio 12.52.60.25U_26.08.04_M3 (DZ), isn't that a Gingerbead radio? It isn't that long ago since I flashed this radio.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Follow the instructions at www.virtuousrom.com for info on how to flash the DZ hboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
You want either a of the the radios at the top of the the list in the op. One ends in 30 the other 116

You have the shipping hboot. The I would recommend flashing the engineering hboot.

And I finally got my new DZ. Installing unity right now :-)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
There are no G2's in Europe so far as I know, especially not in NL ;) (if you bought it in NL that is...)

So no worries about the HBoot.

I'm using the .30 radio and reception is great, speeds are good too. Battery life is with medium/heavy usage easily a day (modified kernel).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
I did hear from someone that some DZ come shipped with the G2 hboot, which is odd, but i dont know how often that would happen.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ookiller:
Thanks a lot!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mintaeroboy:
New market.apk is out, fixes the downloading glitch look on the HD2 forum i think , or go to the xda app and look at the lastest threads :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Scythe01:
I managed to install Unity fine on my Desire Z with the stock hboot and radio, 0.85.0005 and 26.03.02.26_M respectively.

Edit:

Well did it work fine before you added the theme?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
Im not sure if this is a problem or im doing it wrong but since i installed virtuous unity, i cant get into bootloader from my phone. i can still connect it and use adb to do it. to get to bootloader do i need to disable fast boot? also the key combination is either volume down+power or volume down+trackpad+power?

EDIT: Im an idiot. i forgot that you can click restart and select bootloader! lol i havent restarted my phone in a while so i forgot about that
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] skulk3r:
Just an FYI for people out there regarding SetCPU:

I've actually found that using SetCPU seems to increase the smoothness of the ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lord Mort:
Thnx 4 Unity

Thnx 4 the Unity-ROM rmk and others :)

2) Problems getting ROMManager updates atm, though this might be something different.

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but when I brought up Watch it says I have no movies. I have 2 movies on my card both set as a .mp4 format. They work fine in CM7. Does anyone know what the video requirements are for the new Sense 3.0?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rajackar:
Just wondering, what is the advantage of this messaging app? Does it fix the lost sms problem?

What radio are you on? I'm really struggling to see a pattern to the lost sms issue.

Every rom that has sense 3.0 components has lost sms messages for me so far so it's not a problem specific to this rom.

I'd really like to hear a dev's opinion on this.
