So far , it is an excellent rom, up to Virtous sense 3.0 standards.

I cant believe it records full 1080 in mp4 format!

Music player has a higher volume level than Sense 3.0

Watching battery usage, Im very keen on that.

As fast as it gets, cant ask more from a non-snapdragon chipset.

It would be nice if there was a way to control overall contrast, instead of brightness.

I dont miss the lockscreen shortcuts, as they consume battery life.

Rosie ring doesnt lag as in Sense 3.0

Needs Location

just one petition. I dont have T-mobile, so the wifi calling just sits there consuming memory. How can I adb pull it out? what and were is the name of the module? Thanks..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mardenator:
Thanks, I'll give this a try!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
You have to delet "com.android.kineto.apk".

Also the file "libkineto.so" at system\lib.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] antinerd:
Thanks so much! It worked like a charm!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mardenator:
Okay, I followed the directions to the letter, and then flashed CM7 (Virtuous isn't done downloading), but I'm stuck at the HTC splash screen.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GunToYoMouth123:
This is a hit man, the perfect ROM. Lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ohshootrawr:
Oh man, I thought doubleshot got dropped! Haha excited, gonna flash as soon as possible xD
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] F033x:
Wait what?

I thought the capacity of our hardware was 720?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] codecxbox:
Sorry man. i thought so. Just checked with a PC 1280 by 720. But somehow the mp4 was much better than choosing 720 recording, ??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JassyNL:
Yep, that is really annoying. Had to reinstall all of my apps by hand in the market.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dicko99:
Firstly, thanks for the great ROM. I've still not decided if I prefer Unity or this one.

One tiny nit-pic. My phone is showing '4G' as the connection speed rather than 'H'.

Is it easy to modify things like this? I'm a complete noob when it comes to modifying things like this.

Is anyone working on getting the battery percentage and CRT screen on/off ;) working on this ROM?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bradley_e_smith:
Scaling on Fancy Widgets

Noticed that Fancy Widgets aren't scaled correctly. See screen shots below to compare between this and CM7.0.1-RC1

-brad

Edit: Unity 1.27 doesn't show this issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DanWilson:
Battery Percentage will never happen. RMK doesn't like it. Use the UOT kitchen or hope that someone else does and posts it.

CRT might happen, but only as a flashable zip. This is whats known to cause the orange LED bug in GingerSense ROMs.

Can someone tell me if plugging the USB in gives us the dialog to choose connection type? That, and the lack of 7 screens (and the News app), put me off this ROM..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dicko99:
Connecting USB just seems to use whatever mode is the default. You can then drill down via the notification screen to select whatever mode you want for this current connection.

What is this UOT kitchen of which you speak?

I thought RMK hated CRT more than battery percentage. ;)

R.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dicko99:
Another strange thing I've noticed is that every time I reboot I get 7 or 8 alerts saying "SMS message", "The number you have sent to is incorrect. If you are sending to an international destination you need to precede the number with a +"

Any idea what could be triggering this?

I've never had it on the Unity ROMS.

R.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YOSEFE:
YES,

Me too. I noticed this, and thought it had to do with me. So it is a bug?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] binarybulge:
Constant notification: "New voicemail - Dial +1-805-637-7243". Voice mailbox is empty. Any ideas?

Otherwise this is a slick ROM, I like it a lot. I had espresso back when I had a MT3G Slide, and it was cool. This seems like a good progression. I really like the launcher. It looks better than the standard curved launcher on Sense 3.0.

Edit: I made it go away. It wasn't this ROM that did it. Well, I don't really know. The first time I noticed the notification was after flashing this ROM...

Anyways I had to deactivate Google Voice, leave myself a voice mail, delete the voice mail, and re-activate Google Voice to get it to go away. *shrug*
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] antinerd:
Can trackpad wake be disabled on this rom? I find that the trackpak keeps waking up my device in my pocket, and that kills my battery life. I tried deleting curcial-oj.kl from system\usr\keylayout, but trackpad wake still works. Are there any other files that need to be deleted to disable trackpad wake?

Today I made sure to keep my phone out of my pocket, and found that this rom has excellent battery life, so my hat is off to RMK for the phenomenal job done on this rom. Well done sir!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stratspider230:
WHOOOO!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] codecxbox:
So far, the rom is running well. But battery life is very short, compared to Unity.

Fully charged at 7:00 am, down to 26 percent at 4:00 pm, everything off except calling, and not a single cal made or received. Something must be eating a lot of battery in the background.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aegishua:
That is way too short. There is definitely something running in the background that is eating your battery life. You should check your task manager
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] codecxbox:
As of all day long, this is what was running in the background

maps, calendar, calendar, market, google services, messages,doubleshotandroidzipgroups, notes, touch input
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LagunaCid:
Initial syncing usually destroys the battery
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] codecxbox:
Hmm, never had that issue with virtous 3.0. to be fair enough, i will erase battery stats and start a full day again at 7;00 am fully charged and report at 4;00PM, just to be sure.

Why notes, and messages are running in the background? I dont have a lost message alert running.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Ril matching with this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SimonNWalker:
Can't wait for you guys to make a myTouch 4G compatible version.

Awesome work !!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stratspider230:
I dont know if there will be a Mytouch 4G compatible version. To me it doesnt make sense to make one. This is basically Unity with keyboard landscape support and a new skin. Pointless on an all touch screen phone, in my opinion that is.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
actually, id disagree. the rom is for the sucessor to the mytouch4g, the 4g slide, and contains the newest version of its interface. porting such a rom to the mt4g makes a lot of sense (no pun intended, i swear).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stratspider230:
I think itd be the successor to the 3G Slide, just with Sense 3.0 and 4G capabilities. To me I think the Sensation is the successor to the Mytouch 4G (I know it isnt). Idk just doesnt make that much Sense to me. Pun intended ;-)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] F033x:
iirc ril matching doesnt work on gingerbread radios, from experience ive tried it and suffered from signal loss.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DADDYDC650:
MT4G version please??

Add to the fact that this is based off of of a WVGA device which means no re-sizing problems!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eioous:
Sweeeet......v1.1.0 in the works. :D This ROM is awesome!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JassyNL:
I always match RIL's, even on this ROM, and don't entcounter Signal Problems.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gigamaster89:
Just installed this as my first custom ROM on the G2. Wifi Calling is a no go, might have to switch to Unity since it seems it's a common problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mreeekay:
I knew you were working on something rmk! Thanks! Gonna try it out tomorrow. Holding off on buying a sensation as long as I can. lol

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ohshootrawr:
Hmm okay, strange issue. I dunno if anyone here knows about the death grip on the g2/dz, but it pretty much kills your signal on the phone if you hold it a certain way. Its more noticable when you hold it in landscape mode. But anyway, my wifi signal seems to be very sensitive to this grip on this particular rom. Right now, the wifi notification has no signal, but remains connected. Once you take your hands off though, i instantly gain 2 bars. Maybe its just my phone, but i thought id report it anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wadkikker:
I have the same wifi issues with this rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
Yes, the deathgrip does it. in landscape mode, your hands pretty much cover the whole back of the phone where the antenna is at. This is normal with the phone no matter what rom you have since it's a hardware design.

I've done this repeatedly for ****s and giggles on my phone. It's not really a big deal when you're close to the router but apart from that yeah, it's normal and unavoidable if you hold it in the grip.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lord Mort:
Doubleshot or Unity

Hey folks!

First of all thnx to rmk and the other devs for making this ROM :)

I'm currently using Unity on my DZ, and am thinking about trying Doubleshot. Could someone tell what the major differences are between the two ROMs, Doubleshot & Unity that is? Or is it mainly that Doubleshot is also for multi-core droids?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
the difference is that unity is based on sense from the sensation and the doubleshot is based off expresso.

The placement of buttons and personalization options are different, but the doubleshot also features rotating rosie which is something i'mhoping to see when htc provides the GB update for the DZ
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
dont forget, there are no lockscreen shortcuts on the doubleshot ROM. unity has it. might not be a big deal. sucks that doubleshot doesnt have it :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shellin:
Hey, I've been using this ROM for the past day and I noticed that my Wifi Calling doesn't work. Whenever I go to the app, it closes on me without warning. Is it working for anyone else?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lord Mort:
Thnx for the reply

Just out of curiosity: The rotating Rosie feature, isn't that akin to the rotating homescreens in Unity? Or is it something else?

Bummer :( Really love that feature. Oh well :)

Further question with regard to the homescreens (hs): I read in this tread that there is a difference in the numer of hs you have. Is it true that the DZ only has 5 on Doubleshot compared to 7 on Unity?

If so:

a) is this a limitation which is device specific/manufacturer enforced?

b) Is there a known way to manipulate the number of hs availabe on DZ?

Thnx in advance for any answers :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DanWilson:
And there are only 5 homescreens.

And it lacks a People/Contacts Widget, and the entire News app.

:( And I want to use it.

Those problems and the weird text bug put me off...

HOWEVER - I read that rmk is gonna rebase this off the new DoubleShot RUU. So maybe it'll all work better.

(And maybe he can hack 7 screens in ;))
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
well... unity does not have a rotating homescreen at all, so i'm not sure what you're talking about. I think you're referring more to Virtuous Sense 1.02

rosie is the other name for the sense interface. currently unity does not have sense that can rotate
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lord Mort:
Thnx 4 reply

Might have something mixed up here:

What I mean is when I'm on one or another homescreen I can just rotate all of the homescreens around the middle-axis by swiping left or right.

The homescreen does not rotate from portrait to landscape when turning it sideways, if that is what you meant. It only goes to landscape when pulling out the keyboard.

Could you tell me which type of rotating you meant?

Thnx for a reply in advance :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gigamaster89:
- Wifi Calling doesn't work

- Going into setting FCS

Pretty nice otherwise!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
oh. I meant from portrait to landscape.

and as far as I know, unity's sense interface does not switch to landscape when you pull the keyboard out. (this is restricted to the sense interface, not apps. so basically all apps that support landscape will do so when the keyboard is out, but the Sense homescreens will not go into landscape mode because for this version a landscape mode does not exist)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
Interesting! First Sense ROM which is running smooth on my phone :D great job!

I got some minor things:

-The wifi icon in the statusbar always shows as low reception (when enabled).

-You cannot set different notification sounds for email, texts etc... only 1 for all :confused:

-HTC People uses a lot of RAM, what does it do anyway or is it the systemapp for calling/contacts?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stratspider230:
This rom seems to get slower after a day or two of use. The messages app takes forever to come up then asks if I want to close it or wait. It happened with HTC Sense too, not sure why, not running low on memory or anything.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kirkcody:
Heard that theres a new RUU leak....RMK AND TEAM UNITY PLEASE MAKE THIS A ONE ROM FOR ALL LIKE UNITY for MT4G :D:D:D;););)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Newt:
@Rmk

Hey Rmk did you get my pm?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
You MUST port this to the sensation when we get s-off and root. Great work though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] y2kgecko:
not sure this is true, the wifi is just on low power mode by default, I went and stood nearer my router and it went up by 1 bar.

If you look under WiFi setting and Advanced, you get set it for best performance which would improve the signal but use more battery life.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dicko99:
Just to say, I seem to be getting amazing battery life with this ROM!

For the first time ever with my DZ I have gone for over 24 hours without recharging. Just got to 25 hours and there was still 20% battery left. :eek:

R.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dib_uk:
Score of 2500 ish on Quadrant Standard. :) I got 1600 ish with Unity, maybe i picked a bad time to run the benchmark, who knows but this ROM does feel smoother and way more responsive to me.

Been running it for a day, liking it a lot so far.

I need to look into how to change the pink themed icons, not really a fan but its not enough to put me off.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ellessidil:
I have this exact same issue, and for the life of me I can not figure out what is causing it. Id have to imagine it is not happening to everyone, or else more people would be talking about it... but its quite annoying.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stratspider230:
I would hope its happening to a good majority of people, so RMK can look at it when he gets a chance or can offer his opinion. Other than the lag the rom is absolutely perfect, thats the only flaw Ive found so far in this rom
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dumraden:
This might be completely stupid and noobish but what the heck. Its gonna be the easiest question to answer.

Oh well, here it goes...

If someone tries to apply this fix mentioned in the post

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12662063&postcount=1

Wont that fix rosie going landscape ONLY when we pull out the keyboard?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
If anyone interested i dont like the menubar in this rom and made an flashable zip to change it to stock sense like in unity or other sense roms. I like it and if you do also i could upload it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ohshootrawr:
Shoot, i really do like this rom. Theres just little tiny bugs thats gonna prevent me from using it though xP until the messaging bug gets fixed, i dont think i can use anything sense 3.0. Thanks for everything though rmk, youre really taking care of everyone at the g2 community :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Sorry I haven't been saying much in this thread, I have been super busy. You can be assured I am reading it though and am following all the issues being reported.

New version on a new base is almost ready which should resolve many issues. We'll see what remains once it goes out (likely tonight).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DanWilson:
Dude, is it possible to hack the Sense.com features in? Its the only way I could use this ROM, and I mean.. I love the ROM, I need the security though.

(And get rid of the pink ;))

One other thing - what was that SMS bug all about? The one at boot that tries to send around 8 messages and fails?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stratspider230:
Wewt, you rock mang. There really isnt a whole lot to improve upon this rom, I mean this thing literally is perfect (for me), even down to the 4G icon that Ive always wanted on Sense haha. Lookin forward to the update
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
When the phone switches to 2g, the icon for it turns into the gingerbread one. Hope that is fixed in the next update :)

Also, the www/com key doesn't work :(

Dear friends,

I have come across posts that claims that HTC Sensation is NOT using Gorilla glass. So I would like to post here to get confirmation.

And if it is confirmed .... that we should be more careful with the phone.

Any feedback on anybody got scratches on your screen?
[HTC Sensation] Pinepig:
It is GG, HTC says it's GG, Corning says it's GG is on this phone.

It will scratch as long as the substance rubbing against the GG is harder ( like a sand grain of quartz ).

This post does not belong in dev, please post these types in the general section or Q and A.

[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:
Not it isnt GG, go to the gorilla webpage and whatch for yourself...

I cannot se the HTC Sensation anywere...
[HTC Sensation] mpjohns3:
And OP please change the title of the thread. The way it is titled is implying that it is a fact that it is not GG which is very misleading when you are merely asking if it is... And the answer is yes, it is Gorilla Glass. Nothing is scratchproof
[HTC Sensation] Flashmore:
This screen scratches extremely easily even when taking upmost care, heed this warning, it is GG but it isnt scrath proof!
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
I've contacted HTC myself and they have not been able to confirm GG on the Sensation. If you have an official HTC statement otherwise then post it.

But here's the key point: It doesn't matter what type of glass it is, it can be scratched. Just read this forum. You might get lucky and have no scratches, but don't be shocked if it happens. You've been warned. My advice, use a protector or be prepared to put one on after your screen is scratched.
[HTC Sensation] wayde187:
Get a replacement then because i take moderate care of mine and use my shirt to clean and it rides in my pocket. The corning list of devices isnt exactly up to date. The sgs4g has it and its not on the list. Just compare it to a phone like the g2. It much glossier and smoother feeling than non gg phones. And when you have direct sunlight on the screen there is a blueish hue to the screen. It IS gorilla glass.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
That surface reflection you're seeing is a coating, not the glass itself. Sorry, but I don't trust your vision to determine if a device has GG. Besides, it doesn't matter if it does or not. It can be scratched.
[HTC Sensation] EtherealRemnant:
It is EXACTLY the same glass as the EVO. It will scratch when something stronger than the glass can handle. Meaning things stronger than the glass (ie, sand, concrete, etc) - I PERSONALLY took a key to my phone and don't have a scratch - this implies GG.

HTC HD2 - in left pocket (exclusive for my phone), in it's pouch. Never an issue even out of it. No screen protector, never a mark on it

HTC Desire - in left pocket, in it's pouch WITH protector, not a mark on it. First 2 months naked - still going strong

[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Seriously, I just took a clear water glass out of my cupboard and tried to scratch the bottom of it with a key. Nothing. No scratches at all. This implies the key scratch test is not sufficient to detect GG.
