Just installed this. Thought I'd give it a try.

How's the battery life for you guys and gals? Better than, say, Cyanogenmod?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bradley_e_smith:
I am not one to worry about battery life siince i have access to charge at work and home. But yesterday i did see how long the battery was and i got from about 7:30am to about 6pm and still had about 50% bat left. I feel i am mod/heavy users and i have screen off profiles and clock to 1gig when not charging. Also i use th timeout3g to manage the network as well when the screenis off.

Hope that helps
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OpenMinded:
does anyone else have stability issues?

I got another reboot just now.

Rom is from a full wipe and hardly any apps on it.

It happened when I was fiddling with the cam, but other times it was just the browser.

It seems to have it's issues.

I hope it will be more stable, because I really really like it to my surprise!

The first Sense that works for me :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rickyiswhite:
Im getting EXCELLENT battery life with this, plus i have juicedefender ultimate installed, but its 10:55 am and i havent charged it since 2 pm yesterday and i have like 35%
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rickyiswhite:
What app are you using to change frequencies?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SteveRiley:
This ROM is looking pretty decent. Changing the HBOOT was a snap. I replaced the existing radio with 26.10.04.03.

I flashed the Unity V3 kernel and run the smartass governor for both sleep and wake. Min freq is 245760 for both, max sleep is 368640, max wake is 1363200 (higher wake frequencies caused my phone to lock up).

WiFi calling is malfunctioning, though...the app starts, stays on the screen for a few seconds, then closes. I noticed this even before I changed kernels. Anyone else seen a similar problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
Yeah it's a known issue. Wifi calling is broken on the current official release (v.1.0.1.).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OpenMinded:
I am curious about ROMS and radios in general and for this one specific:

is the radio from the hboot the adviced one, or can we flash the newest one?

Or do we need a RIL update then?

It would be great if every ROM has a radio version mentioned, or a list of compatibility in radios would be great.

I can imagine a rom supports mulitple radio's, I guess it would be set at flash.

But would that influence the rom if radio is flashed after?

Or would the rom detect RIL at boot :)?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SteveRiley:
Looks like RMK and team are moving on...

https://twitter.com/#!/rmk40/status/94552087987372033

And his web site is down, too. Rats. Just when I think I found my perfect ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OpenMinded:
let's hope it will continue or that someone else will pick it up.

I really like this rom too, very snappy!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bradley_e_smith:
I use set cpu master
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bradley_e_smith:
Crap and I was hoping for more. For those that are interested he did release 1.1.0-RC1 which is what i have been running.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vicente fernandez:
Nooo! why did it end?! :/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thisisspeedy:
I was just going to download this rom today. Does anybody have link for this rom or maybe they can email it to me? I don't use wifi calling and that sounds like the only thing that is wrong? I really sense 3.0. Hook me up.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
Yeah. I hope there can be a mirror made available if the team allows it, I wanted to test it out, hopefully I have other virtuous roms downloaded somewhere
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YOSEFE:
I must confess, Doubleshot is really cool. However, I must just live with Unity, which is equally great although it does not rotate into landscape, because Doubleshot only has 5 homescreens. If it had 7, like the Unity, I would have changed to it. I shall have to wait and see if this changes with the future developments.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mlynch01:
Dude you can change it to 7 in the settings.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] davidjz87:
after installing rom. i only have 70 mb of free space and used 281mb and total memory 368mb and 845mb data.. should i have more memory after flasing new vision hboot?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Omizuke:
Would you please elaborate, I did look for it on setting/personalize, setting/display (and every other setting) perhaps my installation went wrong, or maybe I keep overseeing something?

Still awesome work from RMK. Kudos.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
Press Menu Button,then Settings or Preferences!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] XxhTcG2uSERxX:
Do we have to put the dz hboot
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dicko99:
Is the FIRST POST so too far back for you to read? It says this: "For Vision users, the DesireZ hboot is REQUIRED. I have written a guide for G2 users who need to make this transition."
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] davidjz87:
how can we go back to the G2 eng img? would we have to do ive tried searching for hours and i cant find a way to go back to the g2 hboot :(,, any help or link i would appreciate it.. yhank you
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
check my Signature link ... i made a guide for it ages back :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Omizuke:
Done this yourself?

Look http://db.tt/VRH3JSx those are my options.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Deelight2:
Just flashed this baby and so far looking good. Will keep testing everything.

Thanks for your time and work

Dee
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Omizuke:
Any thoughts?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mlynch01:
From your homescreen hit menu then settings and then go into personalize. You will see the option in there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Omizuke:
Thanks for your replay, but the option is not there, honestly, I post a video to prove it.

That's why I keep thinking something went wrong with my installation.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YOSEFE:
Your installation did not go wrong, it went just fine.

The dispaly only has two options, namely Themes, and Wallpaper. There is no option to increase homescreens from 5 to 7.

Can our friend confirm that he has more options there than us?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YOSEFE:
Calibration error

I have come across a bug, assuming it hasn't been reported already, the G-Sensor calibration returns a "Calibration aborted" error.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mlynch01:
I apologize, I have a G2 and a MyTouch 4G and with Espresso version of Sense that's where the option normally is. I assumed that with the port from the 4G Slide the option would be there as well. You know what they say about people who assume..........my apologies so sorry for the confusion.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rickyiswhite:
Has anyone done the switch over to DZ HBOOT? Is it easy to do and can it harm your phone?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stratspider230:
Yes Ive done it. Yes its easy, yes it can harm your phone if not done properly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dumraden:
Just flashed this. Ama-frigging-zing!

Just one question. My screen doesnt auto rotate when i turn the phone, only when the keyboard is pulled out. Is this intentional or something that needs fixing?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eioous:
Ha...well Im glad I save all my downloads. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bradley_e_smith:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
The official releases of the Virtuous roms (other than Unity) look like they are available currently.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] alexnguyen018:
Here are some thoughts on this ROM in case anyone wants some more insight before flashing:

PROs:

Customizable dockbar - you can change the shortcuts to whatever app you want

Camera app - this ROM has the myTouch 4G Slide's camera app, which includes all the cool features and different shooting modes (too bad the G2's hardware isn't good enough to take full advantage off all the features)

Homescreen landscape mode

WVGA resolution, so no scaling problems with widgets

Pretty good battery life...for my use at least (web browsing throughout the day, bunch of texts, a few calls, and music during drives)

Data connection is consistent - other Sense ROMs seem to switch between 3G and 4G a lot more often than this ROM

CONs:

No shortcuts on lockscreen - the ability to drag icons into the activation ring to launch apps from the lockscreen is not present

Kinda slow/jerky - overall navigation throughout the UI like in scrolling through homescreens, lists, and app drawer is not as fast as it is on Virtuous Unity, another Sense 3.0 ROM

Not as many quick settings in pull down - Virtuous Unity has a few more settings here

SUMMARY:

The ROM is definitely good looking, but the slow performance and lack of Sense 3.0 lockscreen functionality puts this ROM behind Virtuous Unity in my opinion. Hope this mini review helps you in deciding.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
Will this rom still be updated ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ohshootrawr:
I was gone for a few days and unity ended o.o what happened?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Look around a bit more.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Alank009:
I love this ROM, but I keep getting stuck at Group texting Activation when trying to setup contact favorites. Progress gets stuck at 33%.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OpenMinded:
I have the exact same problem.

And I have wifi issues, when trying to connect, most of the time the connection drops.

Happens with the latest and pre-latest radio from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970809

I hope the ROM will be developed further, I use it as a daily driver, but for these issues I might go back to MIUI.

I only like Sense with this kind of dock, I hope it will be further developed, possibly used in other roms :).

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] codf4ther:
Are there any theme's out there to get rid of the pink icons?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
Yes I though I saw one in the other section with apps and themes?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phoenix09:
shows 4G when on 3G.

other than that, no problems and I get a huge improvement in battery life over Virtuous Unity.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OpenMinded:
depends on the radio, on older radio it shows 3g, on newer 4g.

have wifi issues?

There is a 1.1RC version on virtuousrom.com ,i did not try it yet, but it might have some fixes.

There seems to be not much development, fortunately there are other roms based on this, but i really like the themeing.

hope it gets picked up again, but rmk40 seems to be a busy person :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phoenix09:
wifi seems to work fine
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Zacky32:
For some reason the auto sync keeping turning it self on after I tried unchecking the box, any solution?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rickyiswhite:
Is there any possible way I could put the camera from this ROM on a cyanogen based ROM? It made 720p look like 1080p and some pictures looked like 12 megapixels
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
i dont think its possible. the camera needs htc sense to operate
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Broman400:
Is there anyway to put the camera from this ROM onto Unity 1.29.0?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bradley_e_smith:
Anymore development being done?

Anyone know if rmk is still working on this ROM. Lately I have had some lag issues that I didn't see on the synergy ROM. I really like the 5 button Rosie on this ROM, to bad other Sense ROMs don't include this launcher.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cybot_x1024:
For those getting an "no image or wrong image" error which then goes to bootloader menu on the G2, during the migration to Desire Z HBOOT, you should try a different memory card, perferably a new one
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
I have tried to yoink several parts of this rom for use on other roms with no luck. Unfortunately, if copy and pasting apk's with a dalvik wipe doesn't work for me, I don't know what to do lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cybot_x1024:
Thanx RMK! You are a godsend!! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OpenMinded:
I am also curious about this.

rmk40, can you confirm it is in development?

It is by far the best Sense rom, probable the best rom for the G2 ever!

We saw some 1.1RC version, but it is not around anymore.

Will there be a 1.1?

I also really love the camera, and especially the rosie launcher with shortcuts and rotation!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bradley_e_smith:
I was lurking over in the Desire HD and there was one user that had pm'd rmk because he wanted to do some updates to the rom (since nothing had been done), and he got a reply stating that work was being done on the rom. Of course then there was a bunch of questions about when it would come (as always).

So I am hopeful.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Strelock:
Great news! Looking forward to it. In the meantime I'm going to test Unity v4 kernel...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OpenMinded:
I pm'd him too, but no reply yet.

This is awesome news!

I really love this rom.

Can anyone up the 1,1 RC1 somewhere?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
With unity still receiving updates, no doubt in my mind doubleshot still as well.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OpenMinded:
Great :).

do you have the 1.1 rc?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mleet1980:
I hope so. I love doubleshot and unity.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mleet1980:
Is there anyway to make the pink tmobile widgets the standard blue color? Messages for example has the icon pink instead of the standard blue icon.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phoenix09:
there's a 1.1RC? I can't see it anywhere.

used to work fine, I'm now unable to obtain an IP address using DHCP, I have to assign it manually.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] csufmedina1:
I have the doubleshot rom v1.1 RC on my sdcard but I do not know how to upload the rom for people to download..if anybody knows can you tell me so I could post it. Thanx
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
the easiest way would be to use dropbox, especially if its a small number of people downloading from it. However, per rmk's request, lets keep that talk out of the xda thread.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] csufmedina1:
I try to use dropbox but the file is too large and plus v1.1 rc is still very laggy when opening messaging app and browser
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phoenix09:
http://hotfile.com
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OpenMinded:
did you notice the hotfile.com link?

It has a 400 mb limit.

i would be very greatfull :)!

or do you have it bradley?

sorry for asking, but i have no alternative.

i might start hacking a bit for myself
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OpenMinded:
can you please use hotfile and post the link?

www.hotfile.com

there are similar sites, like megaupload.com , multiupload, etc.

thank you!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bradley_e_smith:
Wifi calling app just exits.

I just noticed this same issue, so I guess I am not alone. I just started to use it (on CM7) and came back here and found it didn't work.

Hopefully it will get fix.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bradley_e_smith:

Quys, how is stability of RC1?

Unity v4 kernel works very well. It also supports two way phone call recording for those interested.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phoenix09:
thanks.

so far wifi performance seems better and I can get an IP with DHCP now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bradley_e_smith:
I found it lags more than the first verison, but I think wifi calling works. Need to check that again

Can you turn off the 3d tilt like on unity?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheUndertaker21:
anyone having problem on certain webpage like " webpage could not be found" i get this on myyearbook app as well same error also certain apps just closes by itself. like trillian or Pandora i mean i like to keep trillain running on the background so i can talk to my friends but with this rom and unity trillian kept closing i had to go and sign in again

and the music app keep doing the same thing music wont resume and they stopped when you receive a sms or email or after like 20 mns music player just closes

please help me i don't know what to do
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OpenMinded:
great, this 1.1 rc has working wifi for me.

An issue i found was that wireless signal seems just a bit less strong than in MIUI with same radio and ril?

also, sometimes it just moves the screen, like i swipe to the next rosie panel, while not touching, only looking :).

It uses around 290 mb, which is much and makes it a bit slow sometimes.

But I absolutely love it!

no random reboot yet, the 1.01 did that even after the patch from the op.

hope it will be further optimised :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OpenMinded:
it's more stable than the previous one.

some lagging indeed and i had 1 time it did not wake up.

In overall, usable with the default kernel, will try unity 4 kernel a try.

How can the two way recording be used?

Do you use vRecorder, or is it in the rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phoenix09:
after using it for a few days I have no major problems. a little bit slow at times, but mostly fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OpenMinded:
yeah, slow and sometimes very unresponsive.

I wonder what is causing it.

It is still impossible to use the call groups/favourites.

As a workaround I use Go Dialer Ex now, which is a bit slow, but very nice: it has the cubic control/view like the rosie 3D launcher, which is a nice fit.

I also use go sms pro and i must say their launcher is also very appealing :).

Espically the resizable calendar widget.

@rmk40, will there be any update ?

Does anyone know the source of the lagging?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strker45:
Is not being able to send multimedia messages a known issue or is it just me? And is there a fix?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OpenMinded:
just set the proper apn's at your mobile network settings.

check the providers website
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mechanicalman:
I know I'm probably the only one who actually LIKES the Genius Button, so I was disappointed to see it missing from this ROM. Does anyone know where I can find the most current version of the app to download?

I've used CallRecorder app. The link to it was in the Unity V4 post itself.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Strelock:
It's there in Car Dock. What does it actually do?

Had to install ghostly. =/ Man I wish this g2 had better hardware!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Strelock:
Hmm.. whats wrong with g2 hardware if I may ask?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Lack of RAM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Strelock:
Well, I still have 170 Mb available on my with all stuff running...

Not mentioning "good old times" when I had 1MB of RAM on my DESKTOP :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Strelock:
Woohoo just got an sms delivered after reboot with a delay of just a couple of days... installing ghostly...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] redshoes:
I use 1.1.0 RC1 with Unity V4 kernel for few weeks now.

I like the result. There is some delay after unlocking, few seconds before the screen starting to respond. It is the thing that bothers me most.

A sound boost option for the ringer volume will be a great plus. I hardly can hear the ringer outside and I'm tired of trying applications that don't work for me.

Group activation doesn't work, hangs after 30%.

Also I can't edit widgets size, there is no option when putting them on the screen to drag them to edit icon for changing it's size. Is there any option to do this?

Batery life is ok. With the original batery I got one day and not even the whole evening. I bought from ebay /around usd 20/ some kind of high capacity gold business battery which is with (2430 mAh) and now I'm happy with 2 days battery life.

Mobile network settings - Access Point names - APN - menu - APN Discard option doesn't work for me.

Having MMS APN and mobile internet APN in one place to set is not good for me turning them both on when checking the mobile network option.

In my country prices for mobile internet are very very high and if the mobile networks option is turned on there is always some application that will use the net.

But if the mobile networks option is not turned on I can't use MMS send and receive because is in the same settings. I had to delete the mobile network APN and now if I need it I can't use it or I have to manually add it again :))) Discard option for APN in Access point names doesn't work, so I can't save the APN setting from my mobile provider and just not use it/discard it for some time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jopherr:
so the difference between this rom and the virtuous unity is that the unity rom is based off of the sensation and this is based off of the mytouch4g slide? can anyone comment on the stability or speed in comparision to each other? they both seem really similar and im not sure which one i should use ><
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Strelock:
For me both worked out fairly well. I didn't measure speed, but Doubleshot 1.01 with unity v4 kernel looks fairly fast. the only difference for me would be better lock screen widget in Unity vs. 5 button rotating rosie in Doubleshot. My choice so far is doubleshot. Hope that helps )
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adamboyd83:
Nevermind Delete if need be.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mreeekay:
Anyone try that flashable rom cleaner script? Would that help free up some ram?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] redshoes:
Same opinion here. In unity I didn't like that after opening the keyboard the screen doesn't rotate. This is extremly uncomfortable for me. It is a little bit faster as speed and has no delay to respond after unlocking. Has more options on the shutdown button like silence mode... but here you have it on the volume button. So I also prefer doubleshot especially for the rotating rosie.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
And don't forget the great camera on this Rom :) What I don't like is that there are only 5 screens and the lockscreen that you can't customize. But nevertheless it's a great Rom!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
I don't know which one you mean, I found 2 versions. The one advised by this user is deleting to many (htc widgets f.e.) (Edit: later was explained you can edit what gets removed with txt editor! Going to try that later when flashing this one again). You also have this one but I'm not sure if that works on this rom? I tried it but maybe don't understand exactly what to do ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Strelock:
Agreed! Camera is great!
