[HTC Desire S] Diamondback:
Introduction to the new Overclocking Daemon

This ROM features a completely new way of Overclocking and managing screen states.

The History

But before explaining it further, let's talk about previous solutions.

There are several different approaches to archieve "screen-state-scaling".

That means basically that the govenor changes if you turn the screen off and changes back to normal when turning the screen on.

This is mainly used to restrict the amount of CPU usage (the frequency in fact) during screen off. This can lead to a major battery life increase.

The solutions so far were:

App like SetCPU, which change automatically the govenor based on profiles

integrated solutions in the govenor itself

Both these solutions have major problems.

The one with a tuner app is always a little laggy right after turning on the screen because SetCPU (or any other CPU tuner) needs some time to change the govenors (up to 7 seconds). This leads mostly to major lag in the lockscreen.

The second solution is the smartass govenor. It has already a screen-state-scaling included, so it reduces the frequency when the screen turn off.

This could be a really nice solution but it has some problems too.

Smartass most of the time is not really stable and has problems with its frequency scaling.

State-of-the-art-solution

So we (more precisely rmk40) thought of a better solution.

He wrote a native C Daemon which changes the govenors

instantly without any lag.

This leads to

major performance improvements

right after turning on the screen and in the lockscreen.

But at the moment this solution is a little bit harder to configure. We are plaing to make a GUI for this, so you get the same comfort as using SetCPU.

Nevertheless you can even now adjust the daemon to your needs.

Be aware that the daemon only works if

all

CPU tuner apps are

deinstalled.

Otherwise it deactivates itself.

How to adjust the daemon

The daemon is configured with 6 files in the folder /system/etc/virtuous_oc/.

There are 3 files for the wake state and 3 for the sleep state. For each state one file for the govenor, one for the minimal frequency and one for the maximal frequency.

You can easily edit these files eg. with RootExplorer or any other app which can edit system files. So you can adjust the frequencies and the govenor for each state just like with SetCPU.

In order to get the available frequencies for the current kernel, just open your favorite terminal app and type

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies

You could also use adb shell to show the frequencies on your computer.

To get the available govenors use a similar approach:

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors

Please make sure, you are entering the right values in the daemon's config files.

downloading now.thanks man!

thats great, 1 rom for 5 devices. no one need to port it :)

/use it since half hour. everything working good.
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
hey guys... that looks very impressive.

thank you so far for all the work you all are doing for the community.

will have a look to that rom tomorrow, cause i just had to play with my own sense2.1+3.0 mixed rom ;)

if this rom is stable it would be great to use it for further builds of my own rom project. would be great to get permission from you.

i´m also willing to participate in that project if you need my help.

thank you very much and regards from berlin ;)

[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
some quick first impressions from the first tests.

really really fast ;) impressive.

some little things i found, but you probably know them yourself.

some widgets aren´t in the right shape (a little to big), like mail (list), sms (list), contacts (big list) etc. but it´s ok... perhaps you can use some of seo´s resized apps from the desire HD... just an idea.

gmail is missing and can´t be downloaded via market (even with market enabler). take my backup and working very well.

what this rom need is rommanager, titanium backup and a file explorer.

these 3 apps make the setup process easier spacially when you wipe your phone as much as we all are doing ;)

****... this rom is awesome ;)

thx and regards
[HTC Desire S] chrisch1974:
The Gmail problem was reported from a Incedible S user too. So we will try to fix this in next version.
[HTC Desire S] Diamondback:
All these apps you mentioned should have been installed during first boot.

You can find them on your sdcard under /virtuous_unity/app.user/.

Will be fixed for next version :)
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
This looks great! Can't wait for HTC to release an unlocked bootloader for my Desire S so I can flash this thing! Looking forward to future updates!

Thank you all for doing this!
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
Is battery life normal?
[HTC Desire S] Diamondback:
The users are reporting

great

battery life :)
[HTC Desire S] LunatikBunnie:
I can't get it to install anything from Market. Solutions, people?
[HTC Desire S] gkaipale:
It is awesome.

Only one thing.

Data connection is lost every now and then.I have to enable it manually.
[HTC Desire S] gkaipale:
I would recommend a full wipe or cache only.
[HTC Desire S] Diamondback:
Hey guys,

just want to make a quick anouncement about our new public bug tracker. :)
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
nice bugtracker ^^ just thinking it won't avoid 100 of useless posts here with x and y is bugged :D

@diamondback: kannst du dem bugtracker vielleicht noch eine spalte mit "Gerät" hinzufügen? würde bei so einem rom für mehrere geräte doch sinn machen
[HTC Desire S] Diamondback:
Yep, good idea. :)
[HTC Desire S] yerfdes:
Guys any one could help me because whenever I use to connect to my apn of my mobile network the apn suddenly didn't connect and it will automatically have a apndroid at the last part of the apn. For exampla my apn is http.globe.com.oh and when I connect to it it says I can't connect and when i check my apn it became http.globe.com.phapndroid.. anyone please tell me how to fix this? I'm on virtuous ROM...

Here is the actual photo..
[HTC Desire S] yerfdes:
HOW CAN I REMOVE THOSE APNDROID AND MAKE MY APNS WORKING? because when i try to edit my apn's and remove apndroid they won't work..

[HTC Desire S] chiekurz:
Hi,

This ROM is awesome and I like it a lot. However I am facing one issues for last 2 days.

When my phone is IDLE for some time, I am unable to turn my screen back on. And need to do a battery pull.

Power button kinda works normally, as I am able to reject incoming calls, despite screen being off.

Thanks a lot in advance!

[HTC Desire S] pandollar:
I'm really liking this ROM, thank you very much for your hard work.
[HTC Desire S] wismerhull:
Hi Team Virtuous,

I just installed your ROM on my GF new DS, it runs very smooth.

I have some issues because I did not do a full wipe before the first install, but after a reinstall with a full wipe, it all works very well, and again very smooth :)
[HTC Desire S] lamzor:
just click on the name of APN you want to change. then on next screen click on APN (2nd option) and rename the APN to your liking.

this problem was caused by APNdroid application. the application is used to disable internet in mobile device by adding "apndroid" to the real APN name to disable it completly. if you download free version of this app and enable your APN, it should auto-remove and correct the name of the APN connection.
[HTC Desire S] paddymcn:
Great work, beautiful rom, thank you :)

[HTC Desire S] ignited:
i installed this rom but it is a bit lagish... not as smooth as the stock sense! is this normal? I wiped everything before installation.

p.s. i ran Quadrant and got ~2300 :)
[HTC Desire S] gfandrea:
This ROM is smoother than om my dual core sensation!

so... i think you have some other problem...
[HTC Desire S] ignited:
I have to be more patient.... the market was downloading 90+ apps in the background and that caused the phone to lag a bit... when the downloading+installing finished the phone is super fast!! :P
[HTC Desire S] gfandrea:
yes... the first install of all the app take some times (and a lot of resources!) :)
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Ok I have a query...

Has any1 tried the Unity v2 kernel with this rom...

Will that give a better performance as compared to the Virtuous Unity 1.27.0 if at all it has a custom kernel when rom is installed...???
[HTC Desire S] stonedandhappy:
Here is the dedicated Virtuous Unity version.

Go ahead and give it a go and post results :D

Although I see mdj has credits in the first post so may be its already inc. into the rom or at least have an optimised kernel already...

Peace
[HTC Desire S] Sion83:
Love this rom but I only get 1800 in quadrant. I find it to be not as smooth as a stock rom. Did a full wipe an clean install.
[HTC Desire S] Lyner24:
Finally flashed this custom rom and so far it's looking great. Notice some bugs with GUI graphics just a minor issue really. Will report back if other issues appear.

Flashed the Slate3D for Virtuous by Cypis which seem to get rid of the GUI graphic issue on the original skin.

Thanks for providing a great rom to Desire S
[HTC Desire S] Ikfoto:
Hi!

I installed the rom yesterday, and it's really great, but I have two questions:

I like the "rotation" transition effect between desktops, but... is there any option to disable the "crazy rotation" around all the desktops? I allways do too much rotation and I get crazy to go to the desktop I'm looking for...

The other question is... I've read in the thread that you removed CRT animation, but you reselased it as an Add-on. Where can I find that add-on?

Thank you!!

[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Did you flash the FITTED ROSIE along with it? I flashed them both, and i got stuck in a bootloop, so i changed ROMs.........
[HTC Desire S] Lyner24:
I flashed Slate3D after I have fully setup the Virtuous rom.

Flashed Virtuous rom (complete set up)

Reboot

Flashed Slate3D

reboot

Change skin into Slate3D

reboot.

No problem so far, everything work fine :)
[HTC Desire S] .sh4d0w.:
I have just one little problem... this rom is super fast, but if i change the wall to a Live Wall. it starts to get a little laggy.....and i don't ike how the wallpaper works... it's fixed, unlike sense 2.1 if you move between screen the wallpaper stays fixed :(

Never the less....great rom, with orkorolev-blue-edition-for-virtuous_unity it looks great.
[HTC Desire S] sammyke007:
Any way to adjust the keyboard to get it back to normal (without the arrows...)??
[HTC Desire S] XZ32:
would like to know this as well...

for lbc mod there is an add-on for getting the normal keyboard, but dunno if it will work on this one though...
[HTC Desire S] ben.marks:
Just use Better Keyboard or something
[HTC Desire S] XZ32:
naaah, kinda like the HTC ime :p
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Just thought I'd drop in to say, great looking rom, slick and great visuals....

I will no doubt try it again along with some more themes when I have some more time.

Love the way that sense 3 can scroll in a full circle rather than simply back and forth, wish this feature could be back ported to a sense 2 rom
[HTC Desire S] antifish:
it works :)
[HTC Desire S] ghuk:
anyone here using openvpn on this ROM? I'm having problems using openvpn. I can connect but there is no network activity.
[HTC Desire S] niblettr:
I'm having the same voice search problem. It's as If the microphone cuts out just after the first word. :(

Otherwise, excellent.
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
Fixed few of my problems. Here's what I've done..

1. Flashed with Better Fitted Rosie

2. haven't fixed yet

3. Flashed with SAGA LBC no arrow keyboard

4. not really a problem

5. haven't fixed yet, tried to flash the Wi-Fi fix but got stuck on startup.. done a clean wipe and reflashed the ROM

I'm currently still trying to customize the ROM using the UOT Kitchen
[HTC Desire S] XZ32:
Yeah just installed it!

Now this rom is just perfect!

Fast, stable & eye candy!

The better fitted rosie really makes all so much nicer too :)
[HTC Desire S] dbezzegh:
Great ROM

Best Rom I ever tried! :)

Just realized that S-OFF is possible on DS, and minutes later this fine ROM was installing on my phone. I have to say thank you all! who worked on this super ROM!
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
Can anyone confirm if I'm the only one whose still experiencing Wi-Fi Death Grip. Based on the change-log, wi-fi has been fixed?
[HTC Desire S] moppix:
no, you're not the only one: I've just installed this rom and I still have the Death Grip.
[HTC Desire S] chiekurz:
Well, death grip is there, but at least WiFi signal is being kept at minimum up and running and not being dropped down and 3g used instead.

Since S-Off and flashing this ROM, I hadn't faced sudden WiFi disappearing anymore.

/Edzz
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
maybe I still need to do some testings on my phone. Rigorous testings. I actually haven't found any differences between the stock and this custom ROM. Except the fact that Wi-Fi animation seems to be a lot responsive.
[HTC Desire S] tanivula:
This ROM is cool, are you guys planning to include HTC Trace (Htc's take on swype) anytime soon? That would be awesome...
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
From what I've read, heard and witnessed you're way better off with the original swype (or the latest version of the beta, which I'm writing this message with now) as it's way better, I'm surprised that htc even bothered to try to create trace in the first place and didn't just buy the company that created swype
[HTC Desire S] kc1:
Hi - did you manage to resolve this? I just found myself in the same position - wish I'd seen your post first!

Only way back for me was also complete wipe and resintall
[HTC Desire S] kc1:
Are there any plans to include google talk 1.3 at some point. I've had success installing it using the installer from the market, but it means you have add your accounts twice.

Also, just wondering if it's possible to have icon/app 5 rows per homescreen? Is there a add-on for this?

And thanks, it's a nice ROM
[HTC Desire S] mixalakis32:
what a great rom! it's fast and reliable!

nice work

we appreciate your effort

EDIT: one thing i found is that the crt effect messes with the buttons' lights. when installed, the lights never turn off and when auto brightness is on the flicker when the screen's light changes. after uninstalling it the issue is solved.

can anyone confirm this?
[HTC Desire S] fr3nsis:
i have a problem with gmail

it has 3 account but it syncs only 1st account

[HTC Desire S] alexander.kilian:
The text in the "End Call" button is misplaced. It is in the lower left corner rather than centered.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
It's not the rom, it's the slate theme by cypis.
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
Nope. not yet. But I already PMed one of the devs and have already given a reply. Hopefully they should be able to add the fixes on the ROM.
[HTC Desire S] freaksamael:
Bugtracker is updating. Diamondback@work! :cool:

v1.29 will solve alot of bugs!!!
[HTC Desire S] alexander.kilian:
Any fix planned/available for this? Couldn't find it on bugtracker (or missed it, currently i am on a really crappy internet connection with GPRS speed only, kind of retro feeling here and every search takes minutes to execute).

[HTC Desire S] Igl0:
V1.29 will come out on monday...

I removed the TaskManager.apk from the ROM, but I still have the upper status bar (where is displayed the date and notifications) shortcut. I can't find the file to edit to remove this shortcut, anybody knows ? Because this shortcut is obviously now useless and makes the com.android.systemui process force-close if I touch it.
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
for me the task manager is still ok, it's just that its showing the opposite information of the RAM.

you can try to check, that the "free" RAM that the task manager shows is the "used" RAM shown on settings - applications - running services. and vice versa...

They're - almost - the same, maybe off with just a few MBs...

A fix tweaks on Task Manager may fix the problem.
[HTC Desire S] Igl0:
I just want to remove the shortcut from the upper bar !
[HTC Desire S] Blackcorsa:
it is recommend to install Unity2 Kernel ?
[HTC Desire S] freaksamael:
Not necessary. The current kernel does the job!

PS: Personally use the Unity v2 and I don't feel any differences.
[HTC Desire S] Blackcorsa:
it is possible to add a keyboard without these four arrows ?
[HTC Desire S] XZ32:
flash the addon from the LBC rom for kb without arrows ;)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I don't wanna be a buzzkill, but a tweak is required in running services, not task manager. I use advanced task killer, and i get the same memory as on task manager(150-250 mb). The memory's the same (almost) on all sense roms, stock and lbc mod. You want more, switch to CM7 or MIUI, but 200 mb is fine.

CM7 has 350-450 mb free.......

Video of ROM in action?

Hi guys, I shall be getting a Desire S hopefully next week, but im interested in how fluid and lag free this ROM is, has anyone created a video showing this ROM in action? Would also love to hear from people what they think about this ROM, if you could PM me with your views or videos that would be great :D
[HTC Desire S] XZ32:
should b some vids on youtube :)

rom is smooth as hell! not getting lag at all!

if u dont find vids, check for desire HD or smth, hardware is the same anyways :_
[HTC Desire S] stonedandhappy:
I've tried a few roms since rooting last week and this has to be the most stable I've tried.

Others (I won't name them) suffered from various issues such as FCing apps to being laggy to battery drain issues.

Looking forward to todays update.
[HTC Desire S] petoulachi:
Hello

I'm using this rom for a week and I have to say that it's completly bug free and lag free, very good job.

Just have a few request :

-camera seems to have poor quality. Images are very blur :

-is it possible to have the Gingerbread CRT Screen Off Animation ? I love it ;)

Thanks !
[HTC Desire S] freaksamael:
- no problem with camera. could you please check if is necessary to clean the lenses?

- CRT Animation - check post 3 - Addons for v1.27.0.
[HTC Desire S] stonedandhappy:
No camera problems here.
[HTC Desire S] tasgr86:
Camera quality is bad on my Desire S too ,like petoulachi's photo.Although i can't say if it is just the rom or the camera.I haven't taken any photos with other roms.
[HTC Desire S] petoulachi:
Lense seems ok, btw why do you put a "s" at lense ? Is there a way to open the phone to access to the other side of the external lense ? not sure if what I write is really understandable though :D

-My bad for the CRT anim, works like a charm, perfect !
[HTC Desire S] XZ32:
Update time today!

Changelog is up on the site already!
[HTC Desire S] freaksamael:
LENSE (one):rolleyes: (from the back). There is another one - front camera, but is not the case (I hope)

have you tried to reset camera settings to default? (camera - options - reset to default) I use HDR as effect and is quite OK for a quality photo. And AUTO for ISO setting.

PS: Anyhow, today we'll have a new Virtuous - v1.29.0 - download will be available in the evening
[HTC Desire S] Igl0:
1.29.0RC1 download link !

EDIT : removed link.
[HTC Desire S] Selimov:
did you try it ?
[HTC Desire S] stonedandhappy:
Where did you find that link?

It's not up on here and not on their official site either.

I'd be very wary of it until an official release is posted.
