Installed last night, thus far everything is buttery smooth. I uninstalled SetCPU and am really enjoying the new baked-in system - really smooth, even with Rosie (though I use LauncherPro Plus).

I was able to change my alarm sound, but I also changed several parts of the default alarm, so maybe that's it.

The Swype issue is documented by Swype - I forgot what the official reason is, but you can find it on their forums. It's not a big deal - just once after a reboot, you have to switch to another input method and then switch back. It'll hold until the next time you reboot.

I'll keep an eye out for other issues, but overall, I'm *really* impressed with this.

Anyone else keep getting the "What's new in Gmail" intro when you open up Gmail? Not happening every time but if I don't look at Gmail for a while then open it up I get that message.

I only switched to the stock Mms app because the sense app doesn't do enter key as send. I'm fairly confident I haven't lost any sms but I don't really text that much so i cant confirm. I am on radio 26.08.04.16.

Up to you. Tbu pro or not, a reflash always takes some time. take some time to figure out your backup process and you'll find that it's not that much of a hassle when you have exact steps to follow rather than tyring to remember what to do next.

EDIT: if you're so terrified of flashing this in fear of messing up your customization, then do a nandroid backup and flash the newest version to see how it works. If you dont like it, a few taps and 10mins will get you back to your beloved 1.27.

My hw keyboard skandinavian ä and ö is always capital letters if FN not pressed. When I press FN+ä = ä. If I just press ä it writes Ä.

Any help would be appriciated?

Thanks Matti

EDIT:

In keyboard settings I can't change defaultkeyboard. It's only English. When im typing with HW keyboard its showin en icon. I guess that is the problem...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Scythe01:
Have had this happen to me before. Fix it by doing this:

Settings -> Applications -> Quick Launch -> Delete all shortcuts

Also do a "Normal" restart just to be on the safe side.

3 cheers for Unity!!!!!!!!!!

Now a wee question,its a minor point but can anyone help me get just the plain reboot command from the terminal working,I have busybox installed but I can only get it to reboot with the command reboot -f or busybox killall_server,also when I use a gscript reboot -f doesnt work but the killall command does,I really can't work this out at all,tried editing the virtuous-functions.sh where it seems to define commands tried adding REBOOT="$BUSYBOX reboot -f" but no dice,I know that with CM7 you just type reboot and away you go,other than this I am really happy with Unity and think the contact integration and widgets are the best out there,any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated,

Anyone else having lower audio? I connect my phone to my car (3.5mm jack)and noticed I can have the volume cranked both on the phone and my car and it's not as loud, restored my previous Rom and can't get close to max, ill bloww the speakers. Any ideas on how to resolve since it seems to be all software
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nickthequick13:
Twice now I have started from scratch with this rom. It runs beautifully with great battery life but after a day or two my standby drain consistently hovers at around 160-170 which drains my battery pretty quickly. I havent noticed anything unusual on watchdog, and have tried to install setcpu to see if the high drain would stop by using a sleep profile but nothing seems to work. I'm using tmobile usa if that would make any difference..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nonione:
depends if you have a DZ hboot at the moment then you PROBABLY dont have to wipe, if you got a g2 without a DZ hboot youll need to wipe
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CodeMonkey-10:
i have g2 with the dz-hboot, what is the worst thing that could happen if i dont wipe?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
I wish there could be some way of telling what is draining the battery, be it a software process or a hardware component. Right now, we just don't have the tools that can give us that information directly. You could try doing a fresh install of the ROM, install all your apps, then use something like CurrentWidget or Battery Monitor Widget to log discharge current and running apps, and see if you can find some sort of change or correlation.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nickthequick13:
Yeah that's what I have done and I just can't figure it out. It makes no sense to me that it would start with great standby drain then get significantly worse. I've tried it on two different G2s and its done the same thing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] skulk3r:
it's got to do with the lack of memory our phones have. simply put, android kills the processes that give us a report that we have new smses/emails. This also means that it may not show up in the HTC Messaging app. The Ghostly Gingerbread app is designed to have low memory usage so it can 'catch' smses that don't show up in the normal messaging app.

this bug is one of the only things that stops me from moving from Stock Gingerbread to Unity. Also, I experienced unreliable alarms from 1.29, so that killed it for me too. Looking forward to more awesomeness though!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Koopabro:
It does connect with my wifi, but I have no internet...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
I had the same struggles with my HTC Hero, trying to figure out what the culprit that was preventing the phone from last more than about a day with light usage. Another suggestion I can make is to wipe the phone and then run with just the standard Unity ROM for a few days. No extra apps (except perhaps a power monitoring widget), standard Rosie launcher, no live wallpaper, etc. Restore data like contacts, calendar, SMS and call logs, etc. but don't install any non-ROM apps. See if the behaviour manifests itself after a few days. It will be difficult not having your usual suite of apps available, but hopefully it will only be for a few days and give you some more troubleshooting info.

unity 1.29 - Slate Skin

Hi,

first of all I really love this skin/theme.

I found a "bug" or even a color that is not consistent with the overall theme:

- When receiving an SMS and entering the messaging menu the indicator is green instead of blue

I would love to fix it but not very tech savy. Can anybody help me?

thanks in advance
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
This isn't a theme its a Rom :confused:

Maybe post a screen shot so we can see what you are referring to.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] martinpescatore:
Yes and I think i have to re-phrase what i just wrote as well:

When using Slate3D by CypiS theme that has been added to the latest Unity i get the following

- When on the mainscreen the new message icon has a blue number.

- when entering the message list one of the indicators is a different shade of blue an the other one is android green

hope I have explained this better this time
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Got ya. Don't know if cypis checks this thread so I will let him know :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chewy106:
So does 1.29 require the DZ hboot if you're on a G2? I see posts asking with no answer, and condescending posts referring to the question and saying read the OP, which doesn't say so. Nor does the Virtuous site say it needs the DZ hboot. I still have version 1.0.0 running, finally getting a chance to update (and I'm having that battery bug after months of being fine where in standby it's draining 50% in like 3 hours).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
You will need to change to the DZ hboot WWW.virtuousrom.com has a really easy to follow guide. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chewy106:
So they did convert over to the DZ... Cool thanks, will have to wait until I'm home on a non-work PC to get swapped over. Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
You can do it without adb, the only thing you need is a memory card reader or another phone.

Download the PC10IMG.zip to your sdcard.

Go in to bootloader

Let it flash as per the instructions of the virtuous website

When you get stuck at the boot screen pull the battery

Delete the PC10IMG.zip from your sdcard using another phone or a card reader.

Back into bootloader and select recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
I believe unity still loads to /data to make up for space. the PC10IMG in the doubleshot instructions will do the trick, but it'll also change your recovery, radio, splash screen, which is a tad unnecessary if you ask me. Just remove everything but the androidinfo.txt and the hboot image in the zip file if you only want the hboot.

I imagine if the virtuous team continues work on unity (wouldn't hold my breath) it would at some point be a requirement.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
For those concerned with swapping their G2 over to the DZ hboot, I can confirm that I flashed CM7 with absolutely no problems whatsoever.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
If there were any issues don't you think a DZ user with the DZ hboot would of noticed them a long time ago :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
Actually.... They moved everything back to /system since 1.26

And they did make it a requirement since 1.26.

The OP before the halt/reinstate specifically say you need the DZ hboot. That and the www.virtuousrom.com site also has a detailed guide on how to do so including the hboot file.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
Yes, but I also know that I've seen quite a few people post on this thread that they're concerned about the hboot changeover process and being able to use other ROMs. Thought I'd chime in to let them know. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] darkmeridian:
Using Unity 1.29 with Virtuous V4 overclocked to 1.4 GHz with a bunch of system apps removed to free up memory. It is still very slow and crashes often. Did an entire gfs wipe before the flash. Saw comments here that this ROM was fast. So what gives?

I appreciate the developers' hard work, though. I'm happy they didn't give in to the morons who stole their work. I am happy with Virtuous Sense 2, which is my daily driver.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] soulife:
The reboot command is indeed symlinked to busybox in xbin, however the dev/devs forgot to remove the binary reboot in bin that comes with oem roms. Remount system, remove ~/bin/reboot, and the system should default to the one from busybox (xbin)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fn002449:
First I want to say that this ROM is very very nice! I like everything.. the speed, the eyecandy etc. etc.... at my desire Z it is very stable so I will continue using this ROM...

I spotted a little/minor thing and was curious if someone had the same and was able to fix it.

Did anyone notice that the system sound is resetting to maximum when opening the dialer. Somepeople did notice it with other ROM's (I red) but do some of you also have this minor problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tmobile user:
Cool rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
Not sure if I should switch from this rom to the synergy rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:

2) Test synergy

3) ?????

4) Decision.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
Have you tried running stock Virtuous Unity first, before mucking about with kernels and removing system apps, etc.? "Fast" is a subjective term. I think Unity is plenty fast already, and usually more than enough free RAM (70 to 110 MB) to keep things running efficiently.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
what radio? recommended would be 08.04.30 or the newest DZ radio...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] darkmeridian:
Using .30 radio. Tried stock Virtuous Unity but it was too slow compared to CM or Virtuous Sense 2.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
If i restore my app data using titanium backup after i upgrade to 1.29, will it corrupt parts of the rom because i dont want to restart some of my games that ive saved.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
App data should be OK, just not system data
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Impossible:
Am I required to format my SD card in a specific way for this rom? Currently its still standard(fat?) as a single partion

I had stock DZ HTC rom before flashing 1.24 and I did wipe using clockworkMod options(both data and cache) but found after flashing my sms's etc were still around which obiously means it had not reset all data. Any recommendations for hard resetting before flashing 1.29?

Imp
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
There is something called super wipe that you flash in recovery before flashing roms and it completely wipes system, data and cache partitions.

Download from here http://db.tt/aRMFVlq

You do not need to anything to your sd card.

The only thing you will need to check is if you have the dz hboot. If you go into to the bootloader it will tell you which one you have

DZ - 0.84.2000

G2 - 0.76.2000

If you have the G2 hboot check www.virtuousrom.com for a guide to change it. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
Isnt there a newer dz hboot that is 0.85?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
I think, and i may be wrong 0.85 is the ship hboot
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
Too slow how? UI animation speed? Running apps? Booting up? Installing apps? I haven't tried Virtuous Sense, but I did have CM7 briefly on mine, and I don't recall a noticeable difference (SetCPU on CM7, built-in OC on Unity, both set to 1.2 GHz). I'm also running AutoKiller Memory Optimizer on both with all system performance tweaks enabled, which may level the playing field.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Impossible:
Thanks for the thorough information. My bootloader is 0.84.2000 (Its a HTC desire Z and not a g2)

Im going to use SuperWipe as you linked, I assume its fine for my bootloader being its a DZ?

I will look up 0.85 and see if has any features that I require ( I assume its an improved 0.84 version and not required for Unity)

As I have said previous, I am running a dirty 1.24 and will superwipe before 1.29.

Thanks guys.

Imp
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Superwipe works with any hboot. The different hboot's dictate the partition size, on the G2 the system partition is smaller. Sense 3 roms are huge so need the bigger system partition that DZ hboot brings.

I'm pretty sure the 0.85 hboot is the one the dz ships with. 0.84 is the Engineering hboot which is the one you want.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
Yeah I had reason to flash v.1.29 to test some other kernel. Although the max possible speed is capped at 998Mhz, I was getting Quadrant scores of just over 2000. The same kernel and clock speeds on Virtuous Sense 2 gives me a score in the 1800's at best. Benchmark scores aside, but I've not experienced much lag with my Unity setup.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mastergrifis:
Thank you for this rom, i just flashed it and i'm loving it. Just 2 questions:

1) Is there a chance to flash something that shows battery % on notification bar?

2) I'm using setcpu cuz i did a restore with titanium and...it was there from previous rom. I read that this rom has a stock oc, but which oc will be active? Mine from setcpu or the default one?

Thanks again and forgive me for my english ;)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
I must be doing something wrong with this ROM. Every time I install it and try to restore my apps (with app data) using Titanium Backup, TB crashes. Sometimes Ill get to app 12 and Titanium backup crashes, sometimes app 40 and TB crashes, and etc. I always end up having to uninstall this ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
Full wipe (/data and /cache, the ROM installation should take care of /system for you)? Are any of the apps restored to the SD card, or all to internal flash? I just re-flashed 1.29 this morning to troubleshoot something, and got through a batch restore of 84 user apps+data without a hitch. Are you attempt to also restore system data as well?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Yeah I did a full wipe plus superwipe+ (just for insurance). I believe out of 81 apps, 2 are restored to the SD Card. Nope I'm not restoring system data, just apps and app data.

I'm wondering if my google account is syncing system data though. I dont see the option in the setup like CM7 to not restore data. But then again no apps are being restored from my google account, so im not sure.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
You could put the phone into airplane mode just to be sure. Anything useful in logcat? Have you looked through http://matrixrewriter.com/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=TB+-+Troubleshooting to see if any of that looks familiar or relevant?
