I am currently on 1.27.0 and downloading the 1.29.0.. can i directly flashed the zip without wiping? Or is there a right procedure?
[HTC Desire S] yerfdes:
We have same question ghuk.. hahaha..
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Rosie still has issues...

Firs of all, fantastic job! This version is actually (even) faster and smoother than 1.27. Congratulations to the devs!

But... Rosie still has some resizing issues. I had some hopes that this version would include cypis version of Rosie (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1156272), but I read on the Desire HD forum that they actually re-built it from scratch. Unfortunately the version from cypis still works better for me. Yes, the widgets are a bit smaller, but I don't get blurred text on any widget.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, here are a couple of widgets I use that prove the point:

1: "Simple Calendar Widget", install it from market (it's free), and see the blurred text

2: The own HTC notepad widget (you can't download it from the sense account with this rom, don't know why, but you can get the apk from LBC Mod rom). Install it, and see that it is mis-aligned, and again, the text is all blurred.

These are a couple of examples, and sorry for no screenshots (I flashed the version from cypis before I thought of that and I'm not going back...)

Again, apart from these small issues, it's a fantastic piece of work!

Cheers

[HTC Desire S] titus1:
Is there a recommended Radio for this rom? A flashable zip perhaps?
[HTC Desire S] flea:
1. Make a full wipe

1. Make a full wipe

you mean Wipe data / factory reset?

or you mean Wipe cache, Wipe dalvik-cache and then flash new rom

or something else?

thx
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
I would suggest you do full wipe first to make sure that everything is going to work properly, and for support as well just in case you discover a bug.. just do a titanium back up of your apps if need be..

-Wipe Dalvik Cache

-Wipe System

-Wipe Cache

-Wipe Data

-Format Cache

-Format Data/Factory Reset

-Install virtuous rom

Extras you can do:

1. Flash Better Fitted Rosie, as the name implies

2. Flash SAGA LBC no arrow keyboard to have a stock DS rom feel

3. Cook your own customization on UOT Kitchen, choose Virtuous Rom 1.27 on Kitchen's list, still works..

4. Flash CRT Animation found here for an awesome effect!

5. Use Font Changer to change your font, it's free

One last tip: be patient when installing roms, removing the battery while the phone is busy might kill your eMMc Chip and brick your phone..

AFAIK, my waiting time for the ROM to initialize is around 5-10mins (loading on "HTC - quietly brilliant"). that's included the things I added on the ROM.

[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
SRS in the music player doesn't seem to be working fully for me

is it not working only for me? (i had this problem in 1.27 also & thought it was only me)
[HTC Desire S] Igl0:
It comes from their site.
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
@Igl0 its not final version u need to re-flash and please delete link u posted to avoid confusions
[HTC Desire S] .sh4d0w.:
1.29 is a bit laggy after i unlock the screen... 1.27 doesn't have this problem...so back to 1.27 for me :D

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] chrisch1974:
You can try the 2.1 music app from here. It brings SRS and Dolby mobile for DHD. I don't know if it works on Saga too.

So please make a backup before testing.
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
it worked :D

thank you very much :D

it is strange that it didnt work when i tried restoring from titanium backup
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Once again, awesome release. The leap view error is gone...... SRS is fixed with this ZIP file, ROM is practically bug free. Good work guys !!!!!!
[HTC Desire S] sayeed91:
I've noticed a little bug. When you try to play a video and your holding it in portrait it becomes corrupted. It should go automatically into landscape. Also one more thing on the stock music player it drops in performance when you switch to the library. Otherwise great rom so far looking very good
[HTC Desire S] XZ32:
Do u guys have the rosie from the new release? Flashed the old fix but I think I want to revert to the original one... And too lazy to flash the whole Rom again lol...
[HTC Desire S] freaksamael:
no problem at all. all 3gp files are played correctly (portrait, landscape, correct resizing on rotate). do you made a clean install or upgrade?

regarding poor performance in library, if you had a lot of music is normal. It can be made a small trick to increase SD Card cache read (increase from 128 to 2048kB). This can be done as a startup script or via market application.

Check the bugtracker http://bugs.unity.flemmard.net/issues/300
[HTC Desire S] sayeed91:
I tired an mp4 file and there was a problem
[HTC Desire S] freaksamael:
I use a radio (personally) extracted from latest HTC ROM for Europe (Europe-Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M). You can take it from here

Rename-it to PG88IMG.zip, copy to the root of sdcard, reboot in recovery (shut down, power + vol-down) and flash-it.

5-7 sec GPS lock @ first start...:eek: ; also due to this GREAT Virtuous ROM! I just flash-it, I don't know if there some battery drain from it...time will tell.

Happy flashing!
[HTC Desire S] stonedandhappy:
I had a slight problem after installing the update to the rom.

I clean flashed, installed the rom but was getting an error when trying to install from the market saying that I had insufficient space, even though I had plenty.

I fixed it though by downloading and installing the older version of android market, though I still retained the new market update.

[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
I tried to flash that radio on my swedish Desire S but it just says, installation aborted, any clues?
[HTC Desire S] bjoer751:
Follow the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14461673&postcount=1 - the ones you quote are not complete.

I went into hboot instead of recovery, it's all good now, thanks!
[HTC Desire S] freaksamael:
(shut down, power + vol-down) - quite complete :).
[HTC Desire S] oftiklaus:
Hello,

First of all thanks for this great ROM! Since I achieved root (right after the alpharevx release) I've tried LBC, CoreDroid and a couple of others but decided to come back to this one and will stick to it for a while.

Bear in mind I haven't changed the Radio. I'm still on 38.03.02.14_M.

I did not overclock.

Battery life is the same if not better than stoc (using the same average daily mix of WIFI, Mobile data always on, bluetooth, calls and web browsing) and is the best of the tested ROMS so far.

The only glitches I've noticed are:

- some widgets don ot disply correctly after reboot (not a problem, just reset the shortcuts)

- missaligned (towards the left) "end call" text on the red software button during a call.

Anyway, so far extremely pleased with the performance and the looks.

Cheers.
[HTC Desire S] chrishull85:
Very happy with this rom, did get an issue with restoring my Titanium backup but i had done all apps and system data. Did a fresh install of the rom and did only apps and it was fine. :)
[HTC Desire S] pathroon:
this ROM is very good but there are still a problem about voice search.mic couldnt pic up my voice,and while i wanna use tango app the voice not recieve on conversation.
[HTC Desire S] pathroon:
edit:same message written 2 times:)
[HTC Desire S] slvrbllt:
Same problem here.

Mic on keyboard is not working as well.

Any fixes or workarounds?

Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] hardstuffmuc:
+ 1 with the Google Voice recognition.

It doesn't work here either. Did a clean install from 1.27 without Titanium backup. Hoping for a quick fix.
[HTC Desire S] s3s:
Thanks for the rom, it's great but I think my battery life is worse than on stock one.

Do you think I should wipe battery stats? In what way it can help? I'm not sure how this works..
[HTC Desire S] MehLon:
I must thank you, you've turned this phone from being a great phone to a ****ing insane phone :D I tip my hat and all that blithering nonsense xD
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
u can calibrate your battery and test.must help.

charge battery to 100% then calibrate via recovery or use battery calibration app from market
[HTC Desire S] mixalakis32:
From Changelog for Virtuous Unity v1.26.0

Added automatic battery calibration

so, you don't need to do anything. battery is much better for me.
[HTC Desire S] Sebby:
Button Backlight dont light up when screen is on

with the saga lbc mod the buttons light up when screen is on

with this rom the light of the buttons are always off only if

it's really dark

what must i change to light up the buttons when screen is on

i like this rom

but i dont like when the button light is not on when screen is on
[HTC Desire S] Malooga:
Working fine for me :)
[HTC Desire S] sapjunior:
Did anyone found bug in stock camera app when shooting with front camera?

They set default front cam resolution to 1M(1280x768) while DesireS can do only VGA(640x480)
[HTC Desire S] freaksamael:
If you had installed "CRT Animation" it's a good chance to interfere with backlit buttons...(known bug). That's why Virtuous ROM doesn't have it as default.

Edit: the buttons light up when screen is on and unlocked
[HTC Desire S] Sebby:
no i have no crt animation installed

oke i try now the crt animation see if the button light's are then on when screen is on
[HTC Desire S] DJGurth:
Great Rom

Thanks for the great rom

There are a couple of scale problems i think or just not to my taste, icons in apps menu look to big

when moving things around on home screen the sun and cloud weather sysmbol on htc clock changes its weird

some things look elongated (Clock looks quite long, bottom bar looks flat) but i assume this is a resolution issue

Animation on HTC flip clock isnt smooth at all

but is very fast

Keyboard is fantastic

Im getting obtaining ip address on my home router where i didnt before on the original rom but ill try it on my work router

Edit: its my router gutted haha

There is no shadow on sense text and is hard to read

Thanks Very much
[HTC Desire S] Nos0x:
Installed this rom from using lbc. I'm finding the battery to be much better but the widgets have some resizing issues. Also the Internet passthrough using usb doesn't seem to work any more.

Overall very impressed though!
[HTC Desire S] s3s:
Hmm updating angry birds over WCDMA resulted in loosing around 10% of my battery. I've got background data set to off, pocket mode off, display brightness set to around 50%. Not sure why overall battery life dropped so much compared to stock rom (I'm aware CPU is o/ced by default, but don't think that's the issue)
[HTC Desire S] Blackcorsa:
how can i get back scrollable Wallpaper ?

this rom is just awesome...
[HTC Desire S] mixalakis32:
:mad: this is realy bad news :(

DAMMIT !!!!!!!! This ROM is awesome. The DEVs clearly worked hard ,especially resizing everything from qHD to WVGA. This shouldn't go in vain........ i hope this isn't the end.
[HTC Desire S] .sh4d0w.:
If that is the case... then they are absolutely right to do this.
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
This really sucks my desire S is in the post as we speak the first thing i wanted to do was flash this rom -_- could anyone give me a download mirror for the newest version? I had yet to download it and REALLY want a copy of this rom :/
[HTC Desire S] Blackcorsa:
in the download area of the official site: http://www.multiupload.com/APJXNEDDIA
[HTC Desire S] devwithzachary:
Thank you very much :D downloading now incase it gets taken down ;)
[HTC Desire S] notilad:
Dear Devs,

please just ignore the dhd crowd and stay with us instead. Your rom is the best. It has stopped me from buying sensation.

Your hard works are fully appreciated. You have my highest respect.

Chees, NL
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Yeah devs, if you have a problem with the DHD guys, remove their files from your ROM and keep up the great work. Release builds just for the others (Desire Z,S , Incredible S).

It would be a shame if you gave up this project now, why let so much hard work go in vain for such a silly reason?
[HTC Desire S] s3s:
+1

Guys please don't do this to me. I already regret buying DS. Only yours ROM keeps this phone still running. I've scratched my 'gorilla' screen with air... so I can forget about selling it :/ and now you want to leave the scene which isn't big.

Please consider removing DHD instead of suspending whole project.
[HTC Desire S] codryn:
+1

don`t give up. if they are so good leave them to start from scratch and forget about dhd.
[HTC Desire S] monkey21stc:
I really like this rom and this is my first rom upon rooting my phone. Was beginning to look forward to fortnightly mondays, but now... I really hope you guys don't give up you still have lots of desire s supporters!

[HTC Desire S] xd.bx:
Hi,

A question for the people who made this great ROM. We're trying to port AOSP/CM7 on the Desire S and the battery drain is higher than Virtuous Unity.

Could you explain how you managed to prevent battery drain on the Desire S:

Which radio do you recomend?

Which kernel do you recomend?

Any additional fixes (services, ...) needed?

Thanks very much in advance.

Fell free to use this great picture from Cypis as your signature :)

hi!! I'm a new user.. Anybody have problem with this rom on DESIRE S?

In 1.27 and even in 1.29, the microphone doesn't work except for calling..

For Google Search, Cyberon Voice Commander or other application that need microphone, seems that volume is too low.. There is a way to fix it?

or the problem was already fix and I miss it?

Hi,

i just switched from LBC mod to Virtuous mod but i have a problem;

My desire s was able to find wifi Adhoc signal of my laptop with LBC Mod but now with virtuous mod my desire s is unable to find the signal of the laptop. What is the problem? Should i change the radio even its able to find the signal with LBC mod? if yes where can i find it.

My device:

Flash in recovery.
[HTC Desire S] djdigy5:
Oh man thank you very much it works like a charm. That fix should be added in the future releases of the rom.

I know, that's why is requested in bugtracker :). Let's see in future release!
[HTC Desire S] foxnh41b:
Virtuous!

When I want reject calls and auto send messages, what would I do?
[HTC Desire S] chrisch1974:
Thanks. We will test it for the other devices too and add it then in the next release.
[HTC Desire S] freaksamael:
And as a quick suggestion - a lot of users complains about autobacklight function in all ROMs. Already request a feature here: http://bugs.unity.flemmard.net/issues/301 Is working great, tested, quick response, black values goes down lower than stock.

Another one - increase SD Card cache read - also could solve the "missing shortcut problem" after reboot. Here: http://bugs.unity.flemmard.net/issues/300

Hope it helps!
[HTC Desire S] Zlyc:
What is the recommended radio for this ROM?
[HTC Desire S] Diamondback:
Yes, will add the SD fix, but need to talk with team about brightness :)
[HTC Desire S] sapjunior:
is this rom support 2-way call records?
[HTC Desire S] mixalakis32:
is there a way to change only the wallpaper from the lockscreen? without using an application from the market.

thanks!

All CUSTOM ROMs are pre-rooted, but you need to root the stock ROM to install this
[HTC Desire S] RaiBinger:
Hi!

Version 1.29 is so bad. I`m so sad:( If you turn off the mobile internet in button bar, then he will not turn on back. Turn on/turn off in settings menu not work. Solution - reboot only. I will back on 1.25 - stable.
[HTC Desire S] freaksamael:
Mine's working. Via widget or via button bar, it's working. Also hopping from GPRS to WiFi when activated WiFi. Maybe a full wipe then clean install?
[HTC Desire S] Malooga:
Mine works fine too.
[HTC Desire S] Zlyc:
Any suggestions?
[HTC Desire S] mixalakis32:
I'm using this one and it's working great for me and this rom! even gps locks now in a few seconds

Any idea about how to add Turkish TTS to the rom? The original stock rom has this.
[HTC Desire S] GermanDZ:
Yes, I have the same problem…
[HTC Desire S] Zlyc:
Anyone experiencing keyboard problem?

I randomly get dead spots when I type. And the only way to get rid of it is to rotate the screen from potrait to landscape back to portrait.
[HTC Desire S] GermanDZ:
I got problems in the full screen (desktop), not only the keyboard. Many times the only solution is reboot.
[HTC Desire S] Malooga:
I used to have touchscreen problems that only a hot restart would fix, I use launcher pro now though and its stopped the problems so I think the problem must be Rosie.
[HTC Desire S] ata63:
I wanna know does it support persian or arabic?
[HTC Desire S] XuserJM:
Same radio here. 20.28I is running perfectly with this ROM. Best ROM I've been using so far. A shame that the Virtuous team is on hold.
[HTC Desire S] Zlyc:
It's funny because no matter what radio I use, my bluetooth doesn't work. When it says full wipe before flashing rom, what does it mean?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
What kernel do you use? Try MDJs Unity V2
[HTC Desire S] Zlyc:
Yeah I use that. And also the radio mentioned couple of posts ago.
[HTC Desire S] XuserJM:
Zlyc, two things...

1. Is the bluetooth working on a different ROM/RUU?

2. Regarding full wipe... I believe it refers to > from recovery > do a factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache...?
[HTC Desire S] Zlyc:
Works on the stock rom. Haven't tried other roms yet really.

2. I didn't manually wipe cache and dalvik. I only use the automatic rom delete option on cwm.

Also, I have this problem when I type my phone just suddenly lags and the letters just quickly come out at one go. Happens on the stock rom too. Using smart keyboard pro. Any idea how to solve this? It's as if there isn't enough ram for this application.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
So I've been using this rom for quite a while now and the only problem really bugging me is certain pages don't load on the internet. The green bar goes about half way and then refuses to load
[HTC Desire S] tigris666:
Anyone been able to use this on the telstra network in Australia? It asks me on first boot and I choose Telstra. But then when it gets in, no service. I go into settings and choose network, search for networks, none found. Select "choose automatically", gets an error.

Have tried a fresh install with wiping data/cache, also tried format /system and re-install. Never get any service on this ROM. Version 1.29 from post #1.

Edit: I feel so bad. This was due to me not putting the battery cover back on. I knew this from previous messing around but it didn't occur to me last night for some reason. On my old bravo desire, when I was flashing ROMs and switching SD cards back and forth, i would always leave the cover off, it was fine. But with the new saga desire, you can't, you will get no signal if you leave it off.
[HTC Desire S] RaiBinger:
Hi!

I will install 1.29 rom after full wipe and format partition: system, data and cache under recovery. WiFi - activated all time.
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
@diamondback

heyho....

i´ve tested your rom now for two days and i´m really impressed.

but sadly i cook my own rom project so i think it´s not allowed for me to change it and stop developing ;)

my question is if i can use some of your very special mods for my sense 2.1 modded rom? the Overclocking Daemon is really awesome and i could integrate all your scripts to my rom. is it allowed to release it with this feature of you guys?

would be really great if we all can benefit from your great hard work.

regards from berlin
[HTC Desire S] Diamondback:
rmk40(the author of the daemon) is releasing it himself for the public as soon as he finds the time to do so ;)

So i would either ask him directly or wait for that release :)

good idea... i will do that ;)

Hi

Great ROM! I have one quick qeury... if I try and 'reset' the phone (ie: factory data reset), the device reboots though gets 'stuck'... The only way to get the device resarted is to take out the battery, re-launch recovery, and re-flash the ROM.

Any thoughts?
