We are very happy that we could finished our work this time earlier. And the feedback from the rc version was also very good.

So we hope you will all have a lot of fun with the new release :D

There is one note for this release:

CRT Animations

The animations made a lot of problems on the vision. So we decided to release it as an Add-On until we solve all problems with it.
[HTC Desire S] zorbakun:
Full wipe before install Done - Bugs with the new version 1.25.0

1- Current location in Weather is missing, you have to add it manually

2- I can't Download any application from the android market

3- when i do a restart any changes done to the phone are gone like call log, SMS, Maps
[HTC Desire S] adridu59:
LOL, this is a bit embarrassing for daily use :D
[HTC Desire S] tigris666:
If anyone else is having issues with the backlight for the menu buttons. Mine was not working at all with this ROM. I was using the stock radio that came with my phone, which was 20.28d.30.08 05U_3805.04.02.01_M

Once I upgraded to the latest one 20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03 the backlight is working fine. Might work for you also. But dunno if radio introduces other issues or not.
[HTC Desire S] tigris666:
Can someone explain what the CRT patch does? I tried googling. Best I can come up with is it's a different screen on/off animation. But it looks the same to me regardless CRT patch or not. Screen off just quickly folds down to a white line in the middle an switch off like you'd expect. Screen on is just the ring, move to middle and you get your screen back. If it was the home screen it rotates around clockwise.
[HTC Desire S] bl4ckb1rd:
take a look here
[HTC Desire S] tigris666:
Thanks blackbird. Very subtle difference that I hadn't noticed. I was looking for something far more obvious. But alas, I do like it.

1 more thing. I used the online kitchen to generate a new battery image and bootup animation. There was no 1.29 option in the list of ROMs and I wasn't near a USB cable to grab out the framework files with adb and upload, so I just chose Virtuous Unity 1.27. It seems to be working fine anyway. Will bad things happen?
[HTC Desire S] mixalakis32:
i'm using kitchen the way you described for some time without having any problems.
[HTC Desire S] s3s:
Hi, so you saying crt animation from 1.27 works on 1.29?
[HTC Desire S] bl4ckb1rd:
i flashed the addon from 3th post...

thats all

and it worked...
[HTC Desire S] Zlyc:
For the original sense 3 skin, when you call, the 'end call' button is positioned wrongly at the side.

What is the fix for this?

[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
this rom is amazing!thx chrisch1974!
[HTC Desire S] slvrbllt:
Did they fix the issues with voice recognition?

Would you please try to use Google Voice Search and see if it does work or not.

Thanks!

[UPDATE]

Never mind! I tested it myself. It still does NOT work.

I restored the stock rom.

Eagerly waiting for a fully working ROM...
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
doesnt work....
[HTC Desire S] hardstuffmuc:
Awesome!

Thanxs Virtuous Team!

Once again a great ROM release!

I must agree with the guys before me that the Google Voice thingy is not functioning, meaning that the microphone is not picking up any sound and therefore the app not reacting! :eek:

Also the Lufthansa app has problems, it loads up fine but then is force closing....was the same on v1.29 but worked fine on v1.27

Maybe you can have a look at these issues!

Apart from that it is very impessive...
[HTC Desire S] zorbakun:
I intsalled the ROM after Full wipe but there is no Arabic Support, where can i get the Arabic patch?!
[HTC Desire S] tigris666:
400mb for a ROM? Ouch. How does all that fit on my phone anyway?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Have you seen beatmod? Its 500 mb!!!! And the new rom has a new device in it ( inc 2 ) so ...,,
[HTC Desire S] china_ran:
downloading now

i can't open the changlog link,why?
[HTC Desire S] alexander.kilian:
What is transparent in the new transparent skin? Cannot spot any difference to the default one.

[HTC Desire S] Zlyc:
Any improvements you notice prior to 1.29?
[HTC Desire S] chipsjesjeng:
HTC is un-rooted after installing this latest 1.31.0 ROM

First of all.....excellent ROM (as always :))

Question:

My HTC is un-rooted after installing this latest 1.31.0 ROM, did i mis something?
[HTC Desire S] chipsjesjeng:
False alarm.....after a reboot to the bootloader, everything was back to normal (root excess :D)
[HTC Desire S] tigris666:
I don't want facebook/twitter contacts to be synced.

So I go into settings->accounts/sync and disable "sync friend" in Twitter for HTC Sense and disable "sync contacts" in Facebook for HTC Sense. I don't have either of the Facebook/Twitter apps installed from market, these 2 sense ones that come on the ROM are the only ones I have.

After a reboot, both these options will be re-enabled. Every time.
[HTC Desire S] GermanDZ:
Nop, Voice search doesnt work for me neither
[HTC Desire S] Nos0x:
Installed this rom today, already had one lockup/battery pull situation :-\
[HTC Desire S] hardstuffmuc:
I can only think of not to sign up in either of the accounts. Nevertheless, the issue is a regular Sense one, as it is meant to be used with Facebook and/or Twitter and not down to this ROM I guess!
[HTC Desire S] hardstuffmuc:
Before installing...did you do a full wipe?

What were you doing when the freeze occured?

Would be great if you could elaborate in a little more detail rather than just making a statement; I haven't had any freezes since v1.27 and only issues with a couple of apps behaving in a strange way/force closing and the Google Voice bug.
[HTC Desire S] Nos0x:
I did a full factory reset/wipe in CWM and also wiped Dalvik cache.

The lockup happened while my previously installed apps were re-downloading from the Market after the first boot. It's not happened since I pulled the battery and restarted, but I'll report back if I get any problems.
[HTC Desire S] mastersjef:
When is there coming a Desire version update?
[HTC Desire S] Zlyc:
Why is the default kernel for Virtunous Unity unavailable?
[HTC Desire S] pastynko:
anyone else experiencing reboot after taking picture with the camera app if flash is used?

I did full wipe from 4ext recovery also formatted everything...no addons installed.
[HTC Desire S] MengaHTC:
I Really agree... the rom is VERY IMPRESSIVE, but...

Why the microphone issue is ignored???

instead of fix micro-graphic bug (alignment or other trifling particulars) why don't you concentrate on Huge gaps given by the fault of the microphone?

Wow!!! Google phone:

have voice dialing of messages .. not working

have the voice search with google ... not working

have plans for using them, voice commands .. not working

ONLY works on voice recorder

It 'a big lack .. Who cares if I "Cypis '' Amazing Sense'-Theme"..

I would like to fully exploit all the phone! Your roms are beautiful, and amazing performance .. but because, inter alia, even to those who ask you to answer this problem, You neither give an answer?

I'm not a claim, I was tester for WM Roms in the past (not familiar with Android), but 'seems to have turned their backs on anyone who does not mention this little gap ..

What way, the roms would be perfect PERFECT !!! Don't you like this word? :D
[HTC Desire S] neomis:
Anybody tried a 802.1X-WLAN connection?

Seems not to work?
[HTC Desire S] Nos0x:
Ran into another issue but not sure if it's a CWM problem or not, made a backup of the installed Unity ROM in recovery, when restoring from that backup lots of stuff is missing (i.e. all of rosie, so the UI is blank and half of my installed apps).

Haven't had this issue when backing up and restoring LBC mod, but like I say it could be a quirk in CWM.
[HTC Desire S] RaiBinger:
Mmm... i will go test:) Thanks Virtuous team!:)
[HTC Desire S] sammyke007:
Are you serious? Why don't you use your stock rom again? Stop whining about little bugs. The DEV's got family and life next to these roms! They'll do the best they can!
[HTC Desire S] Malooga:
I've restored virtuous loads of times after trying other Roms and never had that problem.
[HTC Desire S] titus1:
Suddenly, the camera isn't as good on 1.27/29. Having a hard time focusing and photos comes overexposed.

What happen?
[HTC Desire S] vankox:
Flashed this ROM with great success today.

Thanks for the hard work!

But am I the only one who feels like the Sense dock is a little vertically squashed? It was the first thing I noticed.

Also would be nice if you had to option to have the black banners behind the names of the apps on the homescreen... don't know the actual term for it.

Cheerio
[HTC Desire S] hardstuffmuc:
I can only assume that your post is meant with tongue in cheek! That's why it is not necessary to point out to you that you get all of this ROM business for free, the devs share their hard work with the community because they want to....so to demand something is really not appropriate.

Bugs and issues are are normally pointed out by users here in the thread and eventually picked up and solved!

So, unless you are not happy with a custom ROM and enjoy the process of eventually having a perfect one, then just stick with a stock one....simple as that!
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Sorry if I sound nooby but how do I update virtuous if I already have it? Rom manager can't find any updates
[HTC Desire S] hardstuffmuc:
make sure battery is fully charged

Download v1.31

copy the .zip to the root of your SD Card

do a full backup within CWM of your current version of VUnity

do a full wipe/factory and cache

wipe dalvik

within CWM go to "install zip from SD card"

go to the v.1.31 zip with vol up/down and select with power button

let it run and finish

reboot and let the desire start up with v.1.31 which takes a few minutes

set up your accounts ect and let the market install all your apps (takes a while)

re-boot once again and njoi
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Oh right thought so. I was just wondering why I couldn't do it through rom manager. thanks a lot for the info though

Is a factory reset necessary?
[HTC Desire S] pastynko:
Nope, it isnt....

Developers need to contact Rom manager team to add it for our device.
[HTC Desire S] Nos0x:
Had a couple more lock ups tonight, it actually happens when an app is being downloaded rather than on installation as I previously thought. In both cases when I restart the phone the app installs as soon as the OS is loaded.

Anyone else seen this?
[HTC Desire S] Malooga:
Never had that problem once and i've been using this Rom as my main daily user since the first Desire S release.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
since flashing the new update removes anything you might have done to the rom so i thought i'd add the thing i missed the most

the all in one pack:

http://www.mediafire.com/?jmn5g7460g8ln6e

Also i can't find the the two themes mentioned in the changelog?
[HTC Desire S] MengaHTC:
My aim is not the "sterile polemics" and are not a child who wants everything now and for free .. Again, I was tester in the past and I gave my contribution (small) implementation and refinement of some ROM (even famous ones, like the Luca P's BlackStone.). Onestly not use google search, which means "data connection" that I have not given, but this malfunction of the microphone, seems to be ignored from least 2 versions (the bug was reported, not by me, at least from version 1.27) and I have not found a word in this trend about .. I ask simply because the focus be on developing small graphic details and "important" features like this one

seems

are ignored.

I have the utmost respect for the team that develops all the time and free them Roms (that are GREAT!!), from their work and I certainly can not teach them how to do it. and my 'Request for a simple information. If I have an answer like: "problem does not concern us", or "is unable to solve", to me is fine, ABSOLUTELY! being present a page for bug fixes, I thought it was the aim of improving Roms through the user feedback..

Just this...

Do you think it's a mistake or a failure to ask these questions? ..

If you believe I've disrespected the work of Virtuos team, I beg your pardon ..

Ps Sorry for my english.. :P
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I suggest that you Need to proceed with caution as there are several threads which exist under general section where users have bricked the device by this exact scenario, download from market, device hang, user pulls battery

Don't mean to scare you, just point out fact.
[HTC Desire S] neomis:
@hardstuffmuc Well I don't like excessive requests as well but it seems to me that he has a point. No reaction = bad support.

And as far as I got into it this "no reaction"-thing is one of the main reasons why the community freaked out on them in DHD-Section.

I think LBC is a great opposing example - this guy is a one-man-rock-band - he answers to nearly every single question/bug about his rom. Of course, this is a lot more than a user could expect but... you know... one guy compared to a team?

Not to reply in any cases is not cool! *just in case anybody is convinced it would be*
[HTC Desire S] RaiBinger:
Hi again!

I will install a new rom. First issue which a had actualy in previous rom for me (turn on/turn off mobile net on button bar) - fixed! Thanks! Everything else... i thought, what visual performance some ugly... but i may err.
[HTC Desire S] XuserJM:
Which kernel with Virtuous 1.31?

Hey All.

Any suggestions or experience with what kernel to use with the new Virtuous 1.31?
[HTC Desire S] LunatikBunnie:
Lets see. I've discovered during calls, if you look back at the phone, the End Call text is misaligned.

I'd suggest sticking with the kernel that came with the ROM. I tried MDJ's V2 kernel, but I don't see much difference from stock, since I don't touch the OC values. My tip is to NOT fiddle with whatever that already works for the device. The unity kernel that's currently in the ROM works wonders, I have at least a full day with a properly calibrated battery.(although they claim that the rom auto calibrates the battery)
[HTC Desire S] XuserJM:
After ROM flash - correct procedure for restoring apps, settings etc.

Thx for your answer Luna regarding the kernel version...

Then another noob question for all you guys with tons of experience in the field of flashing ROMs.

(I've tried to search the entire forum for a specific and fitting answer but no joy, so here I go since it is related to the thread topic...)

When upgrading the Virtuous Unity ROM users are being told/recommended to reset/wipe the device before upgrading.

But what is then the best method of restoring both apps, system settings etc. after flashing?

I have both Titanium PRO and MyBackup PRO.

After a reset/wipe and following ROM flash I am able to restore everything to its previous state, using these two apps combined. That is except for accounts which have to configure manually.

BUT are there any hidden problems or flaws in doing it this way? What I mean is will the use of these apps and their restoration process overwrite some parts of the newly installed ROM etc?

Thx in advance - I said it was a noob question :rolleyes:
[HTC Desire S] Nos0x:
Blimey, I had no idea! Obviously not anything specific to this ROM then, hopefully performing a reset (vol up/down + power) will be a safe way to get the device up and running if this happens again.
[HTC Desire S] Malooga:
I've never done a wipe when upgrading virtuous and never had a problem, just try upgrading with only a cache and dalvik cache wipe. Obviously do a backup before starting just in case.
[HTC Desire S] fingus:
Has tried it today. It does not work for me. DS connects to network and immediately disconnects. Wi-Fi device doesn't show any issues in log files.
[HTC Desire S] neomis:
Same here but works on other devices with stock rom. So this might be related to virtuous kernel?
[HTC Desire S] vankox:
Sorry, I don't mean to sound unappreciative (I'm actually very appreciative) or pushy, but I did mention before that the dock seemed to be a little smaller than it should be.

Well I managed to take care of the dock by itself with PerfectRosie, but the white Appdrawer icon, Phone, and Personalize icon still seem to be stouted. To clarify this I put it side by side to another Desire S with stock Sense UI and indeed it is smaller.

Now I'd like to clarify whether its just me?

Also would it be too much to ask for 2 requests; the dark oval box behind the icon names on the homescreen, and this might be pushing but it would be FANTASTIC if you could somehow implement using the volume keys to wake the phone from sleep to the lock screen. Gosh would that make life a whole lot easier.

I've attached a picture comparing virtuous unity flashed on my phone (left) to stock sense (right)

Again, sorry if it seems like I'm being demanding. Consider this my form of feedback and support.
[HTC Desire S] XuserJM:
Malooga, thx for sharing... :-)

But seriously, thinking in terms of software developed to backup android phones are there any issues which should be payed attention to when restoring?
[HTC Desire S] neomis:

[HTC Desire S] Malooga:
i think you are being a bit petty to be honest, it isn't supposed to look the same as stock as it isn't. Does it really matter to you that the dock isn't exactly the same?

Do you have problems sleeping at night thinking about it?
[HTC Desire S] neomis:
He did not complain about it, he just asked.

It's very strange to me, that

- people who are simply not able to read posts, use how-tos and f**** google their sh**** get extremly patient the same answers over and over again while

- people who have a simple question which has not been answered before (and are maybe a little bit "related to their own business") get pushed around.

I just don't get it -.-
[HTC Desire S] Nos0x:
Well said, some of the replies on this thread kind of put me off adding feedback (and I'm sure others too!).
[HTC Desire S] djdigy5:
Hi may i ask you what is the suggested maximum Cpu frequency for Htc Desire S, in the Virtuous Overclock Controller app?especially Wake max.

1017mhz or 1113mhz or 1209mhz ?
[HTC Desire S] Treti:
Hi Virtuous Unity team! THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR THIS ROM!! IT IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!

I m running Virtuous Virtuous Unity 1.31.0 ROM on Desire S. It is not the same device anymore! The speed is gorgeous! Battery last longer than before. On Top I can use my VOIP account now also on 3G which is awesome. Before only WLAN connections were allowed. No Sipdroid needed anymore :)

Bug: I have the same problem with the WiFi 802.1x as above described. Would be fantastic if this could be solved.

Thanks again guys! If you ever come to Dresden, you ll be invited for some beer!
[HTC Desire S] tigris666:
Well thanks for "guessing". What would be more helpful is to know if a) other people have this same problem and b) is it a bug also in stock RUU.

I am merely pointing out a bug for the devs. I would think not signing up for either account is a pretty bad solution. I still want to use Peep and FriendStream, I just don't want them to sync to my contacts as I will just get bombarded with "you should merge these 2 contacts" etc.
[HTC Desire S] RaiBinger:
I certainly still tested, but it seemed to me either, or the battery is discharged faster than version 1.31. Before flashing battery is fully charged.
[HTC Desire S] Zlyc:
Anyone having problem with their whatsapp not able to push messages until you open the application itself after the v1.31 update?
[HTC Desire S] XuserJM:
Unity Project on hold?

Hi all.

Wonder what the actual status is regarding the "Unity Project on hold" message since the 1.31.0 was released?

1. Does anyone know if the team officially has started again?

2. Along with the 1.31 release I recall reading something about the team not posting on XDA anymore due to limitations? Does anyone know where to follow the progress now?

Also, I had a look at the Virtuous ROM home page and it is mentioned in the Twitter Feeds that the Inc2 Unity patch is now at 1.31.3?

Can this patch be downloaded and applied? - And if so where to get it?

Thx in advance :)
[HTC Desire S] hardstuffmuc:
To be honest, I have the same problem and am merging contacts all over the place...from Viber and WhattsApp as well. I have been using Go Launcher EX with Go Contacts as there at least I can merge double entrys. This whole contacts thing is anyway quite messy and not fully transparent to me. Some details are merged to Facebook, then Google, then just merged..

As I "guessed" before :p it is a Sense issue as I remember it from being an issue for me in different Sense HD2 ROMs but probably within a custom ROM something can be done!

Greetings
[HTC Desire S] old.splatterhand:
Would be cool for future releases, if a landscape Homescreen could be added like in BeatMod.
[HTC Desire S] Zlyc:
Whatsapp confirm not pushing on V1.31 for me. Back to v1.29.

Hope dev fix it in the next update.

anyone has problem with the email syncronising??

i have :( the stock app is set to hourly sync, but it does not sync, just randomly.

the other solution is the gmail app. but I don not know how and where can I set the priod of the sync?
[HTC Desire S] s3s:
Hi,

My phone has just restarted after I finished a call. Yesterday after receiving sms. I guess sth is wrong with this release as this never happened on 1.27 & 1.29

cheers
[HTC Desire S] Malooga:
There are loads
[HTC Desire S] luca2006:
Actually, no arabic support
[HTC Desire S] XuserJM:
I am also using the stock e-mail app, set to sync every hour with a gmail-account. No issues to report from here... :)

Don't you think that it could be a server issue?
