Thanks

Good to know. I will keep that in mind when I get back to tinkering with the phone. I ended up following a link to another forum where a guide to get back to stock exist. I wiped everything from my phone that I could and went back. I was worried about not being able to disable voodoo, but it seems to have worked just fine. I actually prefer many of touchwiz (crazy, I know) so I decided to go that route. Everything seems to be working fine now, no errors every 5 mins and my quadrant score is back to the 900s :(. I guess what I want now is to just get voodoo and root on this rom, any recommended posts I should read?
[Verizon Droid Charge] apascual89:
So you basically want a rooted stock rom with voodoo. Yes?
[Verizon Droid Charge] braveally:
That's exactly what I want.

Hey guys, I couldn't really properly call this thread correctly but is pretty much about SGS 4g screen. My brother has a SGS Vibrant and I noticed the vibrant's screen has more brightness and the clarity is a lot better I think; like the everything seems to pop more. Not sure if I am making sense. It has nothing to do with the brightness, just that look and feel.

Just starting a general discussion here, does anyone know the reason why our screen doesn't pop as much as the vibrant's?? Nevertheless, this phone rocks, but just out of curiosity and boredom, why our screens doesn't have that clarity pop look and feel sort of speak.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
the SAMOLED screens are the same.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ionut.micu:
This is exactly what I was waiting for. Thanks rmk!

Edit:

The rom is great, finaly a sense 3.0 with landscape suport.

It feels very smooth.

Task manager shows about 100mb free.

Quadrand scores over 2000.

Excelent work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrEzzzkiel:
Exciting! I can't wait to try this baby out! Seems like it just might take the spot as a new dd... :)

Thx for your awesome work, rmk and Virtuous!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rickyiswhite:
@rmk you say this ROM is coming tonight? i live on the eastern front of the U.S. and its 1:40am right now, so what time is it for you? that way i know when itll be out
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slapshot30:
Let's goooooooo!!! This is awesome. All these new ROMs on/near the holiday. I have a feeling this could be better than Unity because it came straight from the MT4G with no resizing or anything needed. I could be wrong but doesn't that make it a little less prone to errors?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Hop on IRC and grab the link now. Just making sure it's 100% before posting here.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
Just grabbed it... pushing it to the phone right now and will flash shortly...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Hoden008:
line download ...:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
Restoring my apps and settings. Two things I noticed right away: I like the lockscreen options in Virtuous Unity better. There are no app launchers on the Doubleshoot lockscreen, and I can't choose a different type of lockscreen. I really like the Sense Weather lockscreen in Unity, but I can't seem to find the settings to change that in Doubleshot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Download link is now available. You guys are free to mirror it and offer mirrored links in the thread (would actually help me).

1.0.0 never made it to XDA as I fixed 2 bugs and released 1.0.1 instead.

Enjoy!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gigamaster89:
Was going to flash Unity as my first ROM, but this looks just as enticing.

Blah!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
The Power Options menu (when you hold down the power button) doesn't have all the settings I've come to expect. The Restart command also lacks any options (normal, hot, recovery, bootloader).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
For those who want a custom boot animation, Doubleshot looks for it in /system/customize/resource/TMUS_bootanimation.zip now. My UOT Kitchem theme for Unity will not work with Doubleshot, so I'll have to live without my fancy battery meter for now.

I had a problem with wifi in Unity, where it would report that it connected to a null SSID on boot, and that signal strength was very poor. Turning wifi off and then back on again would bring things back to normal. It looks like Doubleshot does not have that bug.

Also, relock-on-trackpad is part of Doubleshot, which I love!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spiderman_anhvu:
Could anyone post about the performance of this ROM? How many free RAM do U have after flash this one? Thanks again :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] placebo73:
mixed language

Thanks for the rom...Always a nice job:)

But it still has some english language in the UI when it's set to dutch....Hope you can fix it in the next version...

Thanks again and keep up your great work

best regards
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hawst:
Hi,

I like a lot both Unity & Doubleshot roms! But one issue boring me - is there any way to get more languages for hardware keyboard ?

PS. I'm ready to look into it if some one point me where to start from.

PPS. Please dont point me to ready about apk etc, look my signature 1st.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] master.peterm:
@rmk40 if I flash the dz hboot and ever wanna unroot my g2 can i just do in normally???
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] whoisloon:
hey RMK.

Is there a way to get the Contacts widget back??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theinternet1980:
Is wifi calling broken for anyone else? Goes to enable, then just closes. No error or anything.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Whatdah:
I have the same issue. It's running slower and slower. App takes forever to load up at first launch... gtalk.. msg app.. etc.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stratspider230:
Also guys just a heads up. When unplugging from a power source after full charge, (at least on mine) it defaults the brightness to full at all times. So if you notice excessive battery drain thats probably why, just an fyi
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gooddaywezley:
Hi,i tried installing this rom, however it would freeze every so often, usually after i tried to install an app like the gmail, and the basic stuff. I tried going back to older roms and it would constantly freeze. I tried using the method of installing the img. file by using bootloader before i tried to install this rom. If anyone has any suggestion please do let me know. Thank you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ionut.micu:
Did you format /system and /data before installing this rom, if not that would probably be the cause.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ohshootrawr:
Oh that's actually quite cool xD I dunno, the g2 is pretty bulky as it is. The last case I used just made it clunky and awkward to use. It was like having a g1 all over again xD I dunno, what I was trying to say was that the connection loss was more apparant in that rom. For instance, I'm using miui right now, and my signal is decent considering I'm the same distance away from the router and I'm using the hardware keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gooddaywezley:
i just tried that unfortunately it did not work still :/ still freezes
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wadkikker:
Did you apply the patch as mentioned in the first post?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gooddaywezley:
yes i did :/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] twiztidnutzzzzz:
I installed this rom on my wifes g2

Took a little work to getting it to flash but once it did it's running fine but with a lil lag. Livable though..

However it keeps coming up new voicemail but there is nothing there. Rather annoying ... Anyone else have this issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ohgood:
wiped, patched, flashed, stuck in reboot loops. gave up till next time, nandroid to the rescue
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tbalden:
Do you have the dz hboot?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stratspider230:
Thats actually pretty common with Sense. Call yourself from a different phone a leave a voicemail, then delete it. It will go away
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GunToYoMouth123:
Guys, if you're all having these weird boot loops and freezes I've and other people have NOT gotten.

Make sure you guys have the DZ hboot as said on the OP.

The right CWM recovery, up to date.

And, use the G2Superwipe+ to wipe everything for you.

It should work without a fail, and no problems.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slapshot30:
You might just get flamed dude.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] twiztidnutzzzzz:
Aright it worked ty
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Bug: if u change ringtone, then restart your phone, the old ringtone will be the ringtone again
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
Yeah I wasn't suggesting that you get a case, I thought knowing where the magic spot is would be useful to try avoiding (or purposefully, for testing purposes) killing the wifi signal :D

As to your weak wifi issue with this ROM, it could be a number of things including the radio version you're running. This also may be relevant for anyone who has just changed to Desire Z HBOOT because the radio is replaced too (to the latest T-Mobile radio).

One of the commenters on rmk's migration guide reported:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stratspider230:
Is this a known problem with other GB radios too? Im running .30 and still have weak wifi signal. However, when I go in to wireless networks, the signal there doesnt reflect the signal on the status bar. Its stronger in the wireless network folder
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
Sorry if my last post sounded misleading. I was only suggesting that the radio firmware may be one reason for some people's low wifi strength.

I don't think there is really a problem with any GB radio per se. There could be a whole number of reasons why the wifi might not work well. Note this list is not exhaustive:

1. The router is not talking the wifi radio hardware properly

2. The wifi radio is not talking to ROM software properly

3. The ROM software is not reporting the correct information to the user

4. The ROM software has been tweaked to drop weak signals earlier than other ROMs (I remember the Virtuous Unity ROM initially had this issue, later fixed)

The reasons for these may be numerous too (list also not exhaustive):

1. The radio firmware version may not be best matched to the environment. (Bear in mind other radio functions are affected by the firmware version like 2G and 3G signal strength, 3G/4G data speeds, bluetooth, gps etc).

2. There is an incompatibility between the radio firmware installed and RILs in the ROM.

3. There are some other settings in the ROM that need tweaking.

Since there are so many variables, the more relevant details and reports of what has been tried there is, the easier it might be for someone to try and figure out what the issue is.

I'd suggest anyone with a weak wifi problem reporting a few details to see if any patterns emerge like: did you do a full wipe before installing the ROM, what radio firmware version are you using, did you match rils or use the stock ROM ones, did you try any other radio versions and what happened if you did? Also did you flash any mods or adjust any settings (particularly in relation to the wifi)?

And just to repeat: as far as I know, there isn't a problem with any GB radio. You need to make sure that it's the right radio for your environment and the ROM you're running.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Weak wifi signal and wifi calling are both fixed in the upcoming release. I'm planning to put out the release later tonight. It's already available on irc in the form of a release candidate.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wadkikker:
I'm looking forward to it, super great work so far.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theinternet1980:
Awesome. You're the man.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stratspider230:
Youre speaking to a former AT&T Tier 2 Network Engineer, haha. All of these factors definitely play a factor in Wifi quality, and very nice job listing all the factors that play in to it. Very informative for someone whos curious about their wifi connectabiliy. Very good job, sir.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amack10:
just curious it says in the description for both this and unity that there are oc kernels with numerous modules for this phone. i only see the m-deejay kernel =. is that the only kernel out for unity and this rom
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] codecxbox:
No, there is a kernel for sense from Eugene, called Streamlined Unity, which works very well with the Virtous Sense rom. However, you lose wifi if used with Doubleshot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
Yes,seems it`s working good:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
rmk doesn't want RC/beta links posted on XDA, mind removing it please?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
Thanks :) Turns out it was the ROM after all! ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
The 1.1.0 RC is great, but it doesnt have the extra big quick settings menu :(:( actuallyy, apart from wifi connection being better, i cant see any difference :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
Let's wait until the official release comes out. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] g1doobie:
Shut up. Stop snitching
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DanWilson:
Well shouldn't you stop using the ROM? Since you won't consider the devs wishes?

He wants RCs in the IRC only for a reason. Its easier to report bugs and noobs won't complain if **** ain't working. He has his reasons.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ramsfan_Jim:
OK, I've made the leap from Unity. A few initial problems (1 complete lock-up which meant full wipe and start again), but seems stable now - which is an improvement on Unity.

Has anyone managed to create a mod to add the battery percentage? I know RMK doesn't like it, but it should be an option if anyone has created a zip.

Cheers in advance.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ascarface23:
BRO THIS ROM LOOKS SICK!!!! any chance this will get ported to the mt4g?:rolleyes::D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BrutalHoe:
So how do i flash the different radio?

Clockwork will just reboot the phone n wont even go in rrecovery and flashing from recovery returns "...... aborted" every time i try to flash, havent tried adb????
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Eat ****. It's explicitly plastered all over the IRC channel not to share the pre-release URLs here, so why not respect his wishes? It's the least we could do, considering rmk does all the work, and we reap the benefits. If he wanted to share it here, he would.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Have you followed the guide to migrate to the DZ hboot? If not, it covers the radio portion too.

http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
dunno if this will work, but have you tried using UOT kitchen for the battery % mod?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] alexmcrae:
which android version ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
Here's a hint: it's Sense 3.0

There is only one version of android that uses 3.0
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ramsfan_Jim:
I tried using the UOT zip someone created for Unity ROMs - NOT good results:(

Had to wipe and start again...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ramsfan_Jim:
Has anyone else had multiple random SMS network messages "The number you have sent to is incorrect. If you are sending to an international destination you need to precede the number with a +" - despite me not having sent any messages?

Any fix?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
Wow, im sorry. I did a limited run of double shot so i never really went too deep in terms of customizing it. Unfortunately I believe rmk does not like the battery mod (i might be wrong here, but i heard it's because it was causing issues, atleast on unity)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DanWilson:
I got this each boot. Didn't know the cause. Reverted to Unity.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shadowmoses:
Im having a problem playing games like from gameloft i have assassins creed and before it worked. Now it appears that the textures arent rendering or something any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BrutalHoe:
That doesn't cover what I'm talking about.

Dz hboot comes with old radio, it doesn't allow me to flash newer radio.

Rom looks nice but way too many bugs for now, went back to cyan backup but since I flashed Dz hboot radio is old n it still won't let me flash newer radio, so I have to go back to G2 hboot to able to flash newer radio I assume?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
you should have no issues at all flashing a new radio with the DZ hboot. Which method are you using?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BrutalHoe:
Clockwork or recovery, either way is not working.

I have radio saved on my phone, tried both ways n it didn't work, so I downloaded radio again n just placed it on the root of sd n tried using clockwork n recovery n it still won't flash, I tried it both on this rom n cyan RC1, I saw ppl mention that in unity thread as well.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
You don't flash radios in CWM. You either need to place the PC10IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard and flash in the bootloader. Of flash radio.img using fastboot
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] antinerd:
As per http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970809 this is how I upgraded my radio after flashing the new DZ hboot. I had no issues at all with this method.

1. Download the desired radio file.

2. Rename the file to PC10IMG.zip

IMPORTANT: You must rename the downloaded radio file name to PC10IMG in order for it to work. I did not name the flies PC10IMG in case you download multiple radio files to cut down on confusion.

3. Place the PC10IMG.zip radio file on the root of you SD card.

4. Power the phone off.

5. Hold the volume button down and press power on.

6.The phone will boot into Hboot then Bootloader, It should see the PC10IMG.zip and ask if you want to apply the zip.

7. Use the volume up button to select "yes"

8. Once its done flashing, reboot the phone and you should have a new radio.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BrutalHoe:
And that's why u shouldn't b working for 11 hours on Sunday night, it did me in, idk even know why I was doing it that way haha I guess it takes another person to see other fools mistake. I literally forgot how to flash radio lol! Ty.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BrutalHoe:
U forgot one thing, delete the image after flashing =P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
I was looking at you sig and I did think it was strange that someone who obviously isn't a noob was struggling to flash a radio successfully.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BrutalHoe:
Yeah total brainfart, any word on when new update coming, I believe rmk mentioned something few pages back
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Shouldn't be to long, Head over to Virtuous Rom IRC and grab the RC
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BrutalHoe:
Ty...dling 4% =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
No worries

Be sure to report any bugs and give feedback at #virtuousrom irc and not here
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BrutalHoe:
Sir yes sir:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YOUNGTWAN:
2 quick questions before i flash does this have the wood.apk skin or any for that matter and how bout the trackpad notification light does it work ??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
My batteries crap on this rom :'( but still love it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stratspider230:
Would applying Unity V3 kernal to this rom fix the lag issues I'm having? Or is it on this rom by default
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
The kernel in Doubleshot is the same as the stock one in the Virtuous Unity ROM, as far as I know (i.e. not UNITY V3).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stratspider230:
Well, poppycock
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] waiting89:
I have this rom for 2 days, but I can't keep it bcuz of the lagging and freezing and rebooting. I love it has a lot of potential for the future!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shadowmoses:
does anyone know how i could apply the crt on/off animation to this rom/ any help is greatly appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] antinerd:
Is there a way to disable the weather animation that kicks in after unlocking the phone? The animation is pretty cool and all, but I would rather get back that 5 to 10 seconds I have to wait each time I unlock my phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dmsaia:
Wow

Running this rom on my G2 is freaking amazing. Ran the patch to get rid of the auto overclocking scripts in this rom. Then flashed the Unity V3 to overclock to a stable 1555 mhz with setcpu, then I am running the v6 supercharger script on the multitasking setting #7. All I have to say is this thing flies now. If you want this rom to run and not lag, thats how I am doing it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
probably under weather settings?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DaygosTommyT:
Like any other sense rom. Add the weather clock to the screen if not already there, hold it down and drag is to the edit side (bottom left, botton right is delete). From there, a menu will pop up, click current location, then another screen will come up with a check box for weather animations. Tada!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wcterp:
Do all the usual app backup/restore utilities work when moving from CM7.0.3 to this ROM? Does this include apps that were sideloaded, downloaded from the Android Market, and downloaded from the Amazon Appstore? Also, is there a way to save which shortcuts I have on my homescreens coming from ADW on CM7? Thanks. I used Evil's espresso ROM from the MT4G for a long time and loved it. Looking forward to this one. Just hoping I don't have to reinstall all my apps and shortcuts.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
You will have to re setup your home screens I‘m afraid. There is no way to backup and restore a setup completly. Some versions of adw will let you backup home screen settings and shorcuts. But not widgets.

You will be able to use titanium backup or my backup pro to restore all your apps. But only restore user apps and data. Do not restore system apps
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ramsfan_Jim:
It would appear I'm not the only one with this problem - anyone know the cause, or a fix? It's annoying every time I reboot the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dicko99:
I've reported this problem too. No fix though. I notice that you are in the UK and on T-mobile as am I. I wonder if that is the cause of the problem?

Does anyone know if there is a log somewhere that will show what is trying to be sent and to what number? I did have a quick look at logcat but I couldn't see anything obvious.

R.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
could you try to post a logcat ofrom the time your device boots to when you first note the problem happening? perhaps its not just one thing, but a combo of them that are causing this issue. Are you having any related problems to this, such as missed calls, lost sms or mms, missing voicemail notifications? if so, it might be a radio issue that could be solved by flashing one of the newer radios.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DanWilson:
Great observation. I had this problem when on T-Mo UK as well.

I might try this ROM again now that I've made the switch to giffgaff.

Although I still need to sort some sort of security thing out like HTCSense.com as well as get 7 screens. Wish me luck...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Budniu:
Have you any problem with application E-Mail ? When I tried open this apps, it open and closed with message "FC" ? Any ideas ?
