There should not be any additional things needed to restore. Just please make sure you do not be a newb and flash the DZ Hboot if needed before you try 1.27, coming from 1.25.

Just search the forums. You should be able to find a thread that has all the various radios for all the various carriers.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
Thanks for your help alot! i have one last question. on set cpu, it says the stock speed is 1.2ghz because the htc sensation has a 1.2ghz dual core processor. when it is set as 1.2 ghz is it really at that speed or 800 mhz? also once i install set cpu and its automatically set at 1.2 ghz, does the processor overclock to 1.2 ghz when needed in demand?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
oh wait one last question, it says (Built-in screen state frequency scaling (1.2Ghz-245MHz/ondemand screen-on, 806Mhz-245Mz/conservative screen-off), via custom built virtuous_oc C daemon.) does this mean that it automatically switches the frequency scaling or is it saying it is able to do this if you set it on? because if it automatically does this i dont need set cpu

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DanWilson:
It works the same as SetCPU, but faster to switch between screen-on and off, and with no GUI.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nmadd:
I am also never showing an HSPA+ connection. Oddly though, I show great speeds and an H before my first reboot. After the first reboot, sitting in the exact same spot, I never get HSPA+ and have poor speeds. I'm pretty sure this also occurred for me with Fusion.

Has anyone else experienced this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
i know that but i want to know if this function is automatically enabled when you install virtuous unity or do you have to set the parameters first to enable it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] trsanning:
It is automatically there upon install.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
ohhhhhh no wonder why my phone gets hotter than before. can i still use set cpu to monitor what frequencys im at and temperatures?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jandyman:
Afaik no. Unless you ininstall after checking. They say you can use it first to test your best frequencies then modify the daemon to your liking.

But they say having any over/underclocking tools installed will disable the virtuous oc daemon :) . . .which you don't want :P as its much more efficient then setcpu profiles.

I've flashed this rom multiple times now and either I get no data or I only get 2G.. I really liked the rom but I cant use it like that. Any ideas?

Any ways to make virtuous unity run more smoothly on DZ?

My findings on 1.27.0:

Still English only in HTC Mail and SMS, although phone is set to German. FN+Space only shows English.

Still when composing Emails in HTC Mail and switching to other Apps, like answering a phone call or pressing the customizable hotkey, all text in the email is lost. This is very annoying having typed some pages of text and all is lost. Very small texts somtimes survive.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mullepol:
I also only have English keyboard. I use English (Sweden) with a Swedish phone. The keymap is also very strange. Pressing the special swedish letters I get capital letters and holding down FN gives me lower case for those letters...

Dude... you really need to learn to read the thread and not post the same question over and over and over again. I already replied to you less than 24 hours ago. :mad:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
I have a similar issue in that the "H" completely disappears and I only show "3G" within 24 hours of using this ROM. This issue occurred in .25, .26 and .27 across multiple radios. I have tested download speeds and actually realized 6.5 mbps while showing "3G" which leads me to believe this is a display error and HSPA+ speeds are still being realized as the fastest I have ever clocked on this phone is 7.5mbps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DaygosTommyT:
I deleted a lot of widgets that i never use, like autorotate widget, bookmark widget, fmradio widget. I also deleted google voice, chrome to phone, fmradio, apps that I personally never use. I've done this with every version of unity and then it gets photo frame working. I dont know if they are directly related or not. I also edited my overclock speeds in the virtuous_oc folder, my max frequency is at 1.4 and i never get any freezes or reboots except when I go higher than that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
Thanks, will give it a try.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bone$:
Thanks for confirming.. thought it was just me... also flashed the 4g icon zip 5 times thinking there was something wrong... :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmpcrx:
incase anyone is interested, i have flashed the 1.27 unity rom with this kernal:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1121937

im now running permenantly at 1.7ghz (with screen off profile etc using set cpu)

no freezes, resets, or wake up issues, super smooth running, im impressed.

so thank you very very much chefs :D

ps. im sure this has been covered before, but is there any future plans on using the rotating home screen (as i use it when in the car)?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mintaeroboy:
Can someone give me a thread link for themes for this ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
Now only one zip for Unity 1.27.0 is needed that supports all devices.

(Desire HD, Desire Z, Desire S, Incredible S, Inspire 4G and T-Mobile MT4G)

Also themes from the other devices should works at Desire Z/G2

without problems too.

So take a look to this devices threads at "Themes and Apps" section.

There you will find a few themes.

hi, could someone tell me where the boot image is located in this rom (unless its located in the kind of boot sector on the phone - im new to linux, android etc)?

im presuming if i can find it, it would simply be a case of copying and pasting new image over the old one, using the same file name? i had a look on another thread but cant seem to find it on my phone, so was wondering if it was located somewhere else with this rom..

thanks..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mintaeroboy:
Any transition patches?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nmadd:
I believe you are correct. I thought I was acutally realizing lower speeds but it must've been an anamoly because I tested again and the "3g" speeds are similar to the speeds I had before my first reboot when I showed being on the "4g" network.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tomb77:
Thanks for this kernal link. I see improvements with it as well.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
I caught my phone doing this once before on 1.26.0, and I just chalked it up to poor reception at my location. I am usually on wifi, though, so the problem may be more prevalent, but I have not noticed it. I switched off wifi just now, and the phone is showing an HSPA+ connection (on 1.27.0). I'll leave it for the rest of the day to see how it deals with it.

Oh, my phone is currently set to "WCDMA only". Is that what you have?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
Bug with contact list photos?

Could someone try opening the stock People app and attempt to add or change the photo of any of the entries? When I do it, I get as far as choosing the crop of the image. Then when it returns to the People app, all I get is a blank, white screen. I can still bring up the Save / Cancel / Add photo menu, but there are otherwise no controls on the screen. Tapping on either "Save" or "Cancel" returns me to the contact details screen, but no photo has been saved. Tapping on "Add photo" again simply goes through the photo selection and cropping process, but it never actually saves the photo.

Anyone else able to manually add or change the photos on their contacts list?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] d@rklink:
Well.... finally got the touch keyboard to start working. I wiped the device and then moved over to Virtuous Doubleshot which I was really starting to like but there was something about the sizing on screen that seemed off.

I wiped again and installed Unity 1.27 and this time rather than restoring data from a backup in CWM, I just booted up and used Titanium Backup to restore my apps and settings. The touch keyboard and ROM have been working flawlessly since (fingers crossed while knocking on wood).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] trsanning:
Download absolute system from market it makes it easy yo change boot image.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
any way to get either car panel app or news and weather app onto this rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] icon36:
Has anyone experienced I think it's sense crashing and basically stopping UI from user interaction? I can see the status bar working but the screen is black. Even with a battery pull it still returns to a black screen with a status bar. This happened in 1.26 as well. I have have to restore to get it working again.

My new #1 ROM

This one is the bestest! Very smooth, camera has HDR and Panoramic options, operates fast, and battery seems to be a bit better. Swype installed with no problems on the first try.

Good job!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
I have my phone set to GSM / WCDMA optional. I need this setting as I find 2G coverage essential for Rogers in Toronto due to network congestion and some poor coverage areas. Believe it or not, the "H" made a quick cameo appearance this afternoon (after a day) but disappeared rapidly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
This sounds very similar to the problem ppl are having with the Photo Frame widget not working. When save is tapped, one is returned to the select photo section. I have tried adding a photo to people and have the same problem as you there. The only fix I have been informed of for the Photo Frame widget problem is deleting apks for widgets one doesn't use. I am cautious to do this as I may want to use those widgets in the future. I would be very appreciative of any other possible solutions.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Scythe01:
The "HSPDA+ and 3G icon" issue is happening to me too so you're not alone.

Calendar app still doesn't seem to be syncing with my Google account.

Has anyone else had that problem?

As far as I can tell the DZ is either claustrophobic or suddenly developed a fashion sense because the battery quickly heats up whenever its in my pocket, no idea if its a hardware fault or to do with the ROM so if someone could please clarify then that'd be great.

Also the "No trackpad wake" patch posted earlier in the thread still works but needs to be re-applied after the upgrade. My phone almost melted my hand off immediately after applying the patch and rebooting, so a quick Hot Restart and it soon cooled down.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CodeMonkey-10:
Same with me i flashed the 4g icon multiple times, and i still havent got to see it say 4g... :( i also got the hspa+ first boot but now i never get it. same situation as you are!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
Free that RAM

I think that we're running out of RAM. Our devices only have 512Mb of RAM and coupled with the aggressive gingerbread memory management we're more prone than some other devices to getting 'memory pressure' situations, where the out-of-memory manager starts killing off processes which it thinks we don't need.

The HTC Gallery app is rather large and the process that spawned it (People, Photo Frame Widget) may be shut down prematurely. I've noticed that there have also been times when the mail compose window gets killed when trying to attach a picture from the gallery, or a photo doesn't get attached to messages app when trying to create an MMS.

If RAM is the reason for your problems here are a few suggestions:

1. Freeze unnecessary processes: Use Titanium (paid version) or Anttek App Manager to freeze any processes you don't think you need. I personally have no need for the likes of PVWmdrmService or PVWmdrmProxy. Freezing removes them from using up RAM and prevents the out-of-memory process kicking in. If you find that you needed something after all, just defrost it.

2. Consider using a task killer sparingly: For quick-and-dirty one off tasks to ensure free space, use a task killer to kill off processes that you don't need just that moment. (EDIT: If available, try hitting the 'kill all' option. Essential services should respawn.) I wouldn't recommend using a task killer regularly or on any automatic setting though.

3. Tweak the settings on the low memory killer: Download autokiller memory optimizer from the Market. I personally use these values (MB): 6, 8, 16, 17, 20, 22. I've rambled a bit about this before, so won't repeat myself except to say the Autokiller is slightly better than Minfreemanager because you can set it to load the settings at boot.

4. Dump HTC Sense as the Home Launcher: Yeah this is a big one. It's not feasible for some (especially if your issue is with a Sense widget as not having Sense as the launcher will deny you access to the widget itself). For others who don't care about the carousel and want a launcher with landscape mode, it might be ok.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zakhir_n:
workaround....

I have the same problem as you when I try to add the photo to the contact from the People app, but if I go into the gallery, view the picture, and set it as the contact's photo from there it works.

Not a fix but a decent workaround....

by the way...great ROM...thanks for the hard work.....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Spent the past 20 minutes searching the topic and reading. There does not seem to be a consensus on whether or not ril matching should be used. And to those saying there is not an auto ril matcher for .30, there is. It's buried deep in the forum somewhere, i have it if anyone needs it.

@Rmk....I'm still in v1.25.... And I just noticed that when I record a video and try to replay it...it doesn't let me play it...I can't even see anything...I haven't uptaded to v2.6 and v2.7 cuz I don't know how to flash the desire z hboot...don't wanna try it don't wanna mess up my phone if I don't know what I'm doing..might be easy for other people but not me...how can I fix this issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
Thank you for that. I will test these and hopefully will solve the problem. Much appreciated.

Never mind RMK I re flashed the rom and it works again
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
On your Calendar app: Try going into calendar settings and unchecking "All calendars". Then in "Apply settings to", select your Gmail or Google Apps account. This has fixed that problem for me.

Thanks for re-posting the trackpad wake disable patch. Really needed that as screenwas continuously unlocking in my pocket.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilcuber:
Thanks for the no trackpad wake patch! I was looking for that!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JOMOID:
hey my friend is having a problem with his G2 and doesnt have a xda account so he asked to to ask you geniuses.

He says this forecloses pop up alot..

the application Touch Input (process com.htc.android.htcime) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again

and this one too

the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again

is this a common problem? please help!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
Yes, I think we are all aware of that. :p :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
This makes sense to me, although I did not think I was in a low memory situation. My RAM widget usually shows that I have over 70 MB free, and although my minfree threshold is set to kill off empty apps at 64 MB, an active Gallery or People app should not count as "empty", I wouldn't think?

It's funny seeing you say "only 512MB of RAM". I just came from the Hero, which only had 192MB of RAM, and I was constantly sitting at around 24 MB free! The DZ is luxuriously spacious by comparison. ;) I'll try adjusting my minfree thresholds very low (like nothing over 10 MB) to see if that makes any difference. I'll also try zakhir_n's workaround too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
My phone has never woken up while in pocket. Are you using a case with yours? I have a hard shell clip-on case that surrounds the trackpad on three sides, so the button is "below" the surface of the case and less prone to accidental presses. It is still easy to push with a finger, although you don't get much room to move for scrolling purposes.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Why use a Sense ROM at all, if you're going to replace it with another launcher? Wouldn't you be even better off with let's say G-Lite instead?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
Yeah, I know it's weird. The way I understand that Android allocates memory, it's supposed to fill up the RAM with processes that might be needed thus speeding up the system, but just through observation through the System Panel app, it tends to like leaving around 70-80Mb (roughly) free.

I'm not sure how the low memory manager sees how much RAM is remaining, but processes get killed before the 'free' memory on a task manager even reaches their respective minfree thresholds. As to the oom priority, Autokiller has another tab which shows the oom value of each process that's worth keeping an eye on in your testing.

I was kind of half-joking with I said "only 512Mb" but Sense 3.0 is big and Gingerbread's memory management is quite aggressive, and we may end up bearing the brunt of issues relating to RAM. I've not seen many people in the DHD Unity thread complain of the things we've talked about here.

I'm currently doing all the things in my list, including using GO Launcher EX instead of Rosie, and I've not had any problems with the People app contact pics, or attaching pics to mms in messaging. Very rarely will the Mail app bomb out when attaching a photo and it's nowhere as common as it had been. I do miss the Sense 3 launcher though!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
I did it personally mainly to test the theory of whether 'memory pressure' is causing the problem I've seen, and that was the reason for suggesting it (if it's a logical thing to do that is).

Also, some things are still there despite the lack of a Rosie launcher like Weather live wallpaper, Weather lockscreen and the Sense camera app etc.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
Search the thread for the term rotating rosie. Stop posting before you search
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DaygosTommyT:
So I did a fresh install of 1.27.0 to see if I could add the photo frame without teaking the overclock or deleted any apps and it worked, so I have no idea why its not working for some.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
this happens when some "updates" need a wipe to really overwrite older files because sometimes it's a new file that is incompatible with the older file that is left over, but the pointer still goes to that old file instead of the new correct one.

A good wipe before flash always ensures that the problem you have can be narrowed to the rom version itself. sometimes it's not so much of a big deal though.

A lazy bum like me just flashes over unless it's a major update lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] F033x:
Anyone know how to get lcd density to stick on a sense rom? everytime htc sense updates the density resets.

Any reply appreciated!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] conizius:
Well it will have to wait until htc gives us the source code ;) because there is just no rotating rosie yet for sense 3.0.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] iNFiNiTY125:
Boot loops

This rom will not work on my HTC G2. I don't know if it has been discussed earlier in this thread..

I cleared everything before I flashed. The White HTC screen stays for longer then before then the screen goes black then it reboots that's all it dose..

I came from a previous Virtuous rom.

I think having a rom for each device is alot better than 1 rom for multiple devices to me that's a recipe for bugs.. But I am no rom chef.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SG_Shadow:
SMFH. You have to flash the DZ Hboot to run roms v1.26 and later. Ugh!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
sigh...i understand your frustration. ppl need to start reading the OP before asking silly, redundant questions
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mintaeroboy:
Does someone have the original kernel for this ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
I had to google SMFH up. lol

i wish there's a way to tag these people to just hide or delete their damn posts.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lord Mort:
Love it

Been running the new v1.27.0 for a tad now. Have to say I'm once more amazed by the job the devs are doing!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jhhest:
How about RMK's doubleshot rom for desire Z? Looks like sense 3.0 with rotating rosie.

I haven't tried it yet. Wondering which rom is better.

Grtz.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] leehopley:
any1 got any good tips on freeing up ram.. i only have 60 mb free :S and i dont have anything running in the background apart from the usual htc and google stuff.

its starting to feel very laggy and im finding myself wiping and reflashing once every week. i really like this rom other than the slight lag lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
as far as I know and noticed, the sense version that is used for doubleshot has quite a few differences (like the bottom bar where you access your phone and app list functions. Currently it is mostly just a dump from the mt4g rom with the bloatware taken out. I haven't seen alot of tweaks that unity has so it's mostly as raw as you get it. if you combine doubleshot's sense with unity, it probably wont work as well together because unity is based on the pyramid sense while doubleshot is based on expresso.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mnemoch:
I can't live without the Sense Dialer. The stock dialer sucks. Plus you get htcsense.com for finding your phone, and it backs up all your SMS's as well.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
I do not use a case. I had a case previously with the track pad surrounded on 3 sides and ended up hitting the Menu button accidentally whenever I was using my track pad. I now have Zagg protective film, much preferred. I don't have any problems with track pad wake disabled.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
I have done a thorough wipe prior to all flashes and still have the photo frame problem. It is looking more like memory is the problem there.

I am an incredibly patient person but the blatant laziness on this thread has gone too far. If one does not want to bother reading instructions, they should not be flashing roms, as these are usually the first ones crying for help on the bricked phones threads. I couldn't agree with you more.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
Still not working for me. Fortunately, Photo Frame widget is not one of my "a" priority items. I am prepared to sacrifice this for the continued enjoyment of this awesome rom.
