This rom has a great look and feel. Is it still in development?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] drakehoard:
This is my question, too.

I love this rom, since the 5 button-rotating-rosie is wunderful, but I'm sad, 'cause of the lack of configurable lockscreens.

I would like to merge unity und doubleshot *sigh* :-)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jhhest:
combination of unity and doubleshot rom

Yeah! that would be cool. Best of both worlds. Rotating rosie and good support. Nothing ever changes at this rom. Not like unity.

Though it is a nice rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jriv:
Just tried this rom out for the first time and this thing is sweet makes me want to get the slide
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OpenMinded:
well, I dumped this rom for PyroMod.

It froze and hang some times also with the Unity V4 kernel, definitely turned out to be impossible as a daily driver, unfortunately!

Try PyroMod with Go Launcher Ex. It is CM7 based and blazing fast!

I mean incredible! no lock ups or anything, speed still there after a few days.

When I get my MyTouch 4G slide, I might try to fix things in this rom on my G2.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] antinerd:
I used the previous versions of PryoMod and was very happy with it. However, the newest build of PryoMod has broken compatibly with some older apps. Since I could no longer run my GPS software (iGO ver 8.4.2.139242) with the new PyroMod. I use iGO when I'm traveling, as the maps for all of North America are on the SD card (no data roaming needed, like if I used Google Maps). Unfortunately, I had to try other roms because of this. Oddly enough, the iGo app works fine with every other gingerbread rom I used. From what I gather, the PyroMod team tightened up security so much on their newest rom (tight security is generally a good thing but not at the expense of functionality...), many apps no longer function.

These days, I'm running MIUI roms, and have had no compatibility issues, and lots of eye candy, and plenty of free memory (compared to every sense rom I've tried).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OpenMinded:
well that is more something for that thread then, but I prefer security over some minor issues with apps.

Try Sygic Aura, it works great with Pyromod.

I am off trying to root my MyTouch 4g slide :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jopherr:
any one have the crt screen off animation working with this rom/got a flashable zip for me ;D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JPo_23:
My DesireZ runs Virtuous Unity with no problems, but when I try to install Doubleshot I just get boot-looping. I tried to flash it several times with the same result, and yes, I did wipe, wipe cache, and wipe davlik first.

Any ideas what might be going wrong?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chocohagelslagje:
Did you manage to get it working? Otherwise maybe you can try superwipe?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YOSEFE:
It would be great if our team can focus a bit of their attention on this rom, and develop it further.

I have been on this rom since it was last updated to the current version. The rotating rosie has kept me off the other good roms by rmk and team.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
maybe try out virtuous 2.0 since it does have a rotating rosie and it's a rom that is made specifically for the DZ/G2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YOSEFE:
One may simply say a rom is a rom, however, the DS rom is not the same as the V2.0, we came from there and just love the DS rom, and would like to see further development to it... please.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mreeekay:
Is there anyway to get the www./.com to work as tab or www./.com in this rom?

Superb!

Will try evils version right when I get home :)!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mreeekay:
I know Evil is super busy but can anyone comment on the native screen capture ability being removed from his version?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Evil has taken over maintenance and support of this ROM. Closing this thread.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] antinerd:
Can trackpad wake be disabled on this rom? Also, can HTC Hub be added as an APK file?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Why are there no HTC widgets on this :(:(:(

EDIT nevermind.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JassyNL:
Does someone have created a mirror?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stratspider230:
Im debating whether to load this up from Unity or not. Hows it running overall?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] drizzt16m:
I would love to use this rom but i just performed a wipe twice and flashed it twice. I wiped in between the flashes and im not getting past the boot screen keeps rebooting

EDIT: now i restored my backup and it wont go past bootscreen sigh
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crevis24:
Did you change to the hz boot?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] drizzt16m:
Nope I didnt i think thats why its not getting past bootscreen its doing it on my restores now
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slapshot30:
Read the first post. There's nothing else the Dev's can do. What more do you need, like a pop up when you go to this thread saying, "Heya! You need the DZ hboot by the way!" No, that's not going to happen.

I've seen so many posts about the hboot in the Unity thread and now this one. Stop it, the **** has hit the fan.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] predogo:
has anyone tried changing theme? got an FC on sense after changing the theme.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heybobitsme:
Off topic: I seem to remember a time not too long ago when people would at least read the op before asking something.

On topic: I flashed this earlier this morning and I'm just not a fan of Espresso Sense. It's so limiting. The only thing I like about it is rotating rosie, but it's only with the keyboard open. This is by no means a slam on the Virtuous team. This ROM does run great and I haven't found any problems.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
Confirmed, I'm seeing this too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
If you don`t like it,you can delete "curcial-oj.kl"

at system\usr\keylayout!

Use the app "ES File Explorer" which is included at the ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KnekKeR:
This is a pretty nice rom. The only thing that bothers me, is the 4x4 grid in the app drawer. I have a lot of apps, so scrolling through all my apps takes ages. Would be nice if someone could make a 5x5 grid app drawer.

Also, there's a bug in the music player. When enabling SRS enhancement, the sound has no bass at all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
It runs just as smoothly as Unity, IMHO. However, I will be switching back to Unity 1.27.0 later today. The big advantage of Doubleshot is being able to use Rosie in landscape orientation. Since I use GO Launcher EX rather than the default HTC Sense launcher, that feature is not a benefit to me.

Unity has the following advantages for me:

configurable lockscreens (I love my Sense weather lockscreen!)

more options when I hold down the power button

compatibility with UOT Kitchen themes (I want my custom battery meter back!)

better SD card performance (both locally and over USB)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stratspider230:
Answered my question, thank you
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Brazildiogo732:
Best rom ever!

I don't usually post comments or reply's on these forums, but man! This not one of the best ROMS, THIS IS THE BEST ROM! Way better than Stock, Unity, and CyanogenMod7. So many features to make it great! I will list them! And the Cons too!

Pros/Highlights:

Excellent UI, Was a little scaptical at first, but after, you really tend to like it!

Very Fast!- Deffinatly the fastest ROM for me, Cyanogen was not cutting it!

Lockscreen! This Sense 3.0 Lockscreen is stunning!

Transitions part of the UI makes it look stunning (cube effect)

CAMERA APP! Hands Down best Camera App in any ROM! Pictures are actually clearer. There are more effects and scenes such as Panoramic Shot, HDR, Burst, Lag-Free Shutter- ETC, I dont need to brag on this camera, T-Mobile did a job at it already!- You guys get the point!

Dialer is simply amazing!

Notification isnt the clunky Sense Notification, It looks more like CyanogenMod's or Stock 2.3, its a basic Jet Black Bar.

Quick Settings ! Awesome and handy little things make it easy to switch settings on/off

Battery life is also awesome! Been playing around with it all day, switching homescreens and such, and its only at 90%

3D Transitions from sense are absolutely eyecatching and gorgeous! They make the phone so appealing to use!

Did I mention its fast?! Oh yah, I did. Its REALL FAST! Fastest Sense ROM out there!

HTC and the ROM porters did a good job! MySense is amazing! Also, cute and ellegant little bootanimation haha!

Soo many more things, but these are just what I thought of at the top of my head! GIVE IT A TRY IT AMAZING and it will BLOW YOU AWAY!

Cons:

Lockscreen is a big thing for me. No Weather Lockscreen yet :/

Power Down/Restart: No Hot Restart-Restart Recovery-etc

Music App - No set music app yet, you have to navigate through HTC's New "Media Room" and choose the media player there.

No Gingerbread TV On/Off Animations. :( I know, heart breaking. I think we can live without it!

DZ Hboot- This isn't really a drawback or a con, but it keeps lots of people away from this ROM because they are scared to harm their device! Its really EASY! I say do it! Read the guides- I'll actually simplify it for you. Download the PC***.img File, Put it on the root of your SD Card, Power off your phone- Press Power and Volume Down to get to recovery- It'll ask if you want to update- press volume up to do so- reboot phone, flash the Doubleshot ROM- Or Any Virtuous ROM. Easy huh?

ETC- I didnt get to explore the whole ROM yet, but its seems like this is a legit ROM

Over All- I rate this ROM 10 out of 5 Stars!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] taob:
Have you tried the Virtuous Unity ROM yet? It will give back the first three items you list, and has almost all of the features you like from Virtuous Doubleshot. See my post above.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] creepinm3:
For those interested the UNITY V3 kernel will work with this
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] antinerd:
Thanks for the reply. I deleted curcial-oj.kl fine, but trackpad wake still works. I confirmed that the file is gone…very odd
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tomb77:
How do I know if applied DZ hboot correctly? What should it read? Thank you
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
You have done a reboot after this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jandyman:
Can i ask how does this compare to the other vitrious rom? found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1115333 (Virtuous Unity Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid)

pros and cons compared between two builds? does the doubleshot base run better? :)

(if someone could refer to battery with both builds also that would be appreciated information too)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] creepinm3:
You will have a limited amount of internal storage space and HBOOT should read

0.84.2000
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] antinerd:
Yes, I did a battery pull, just to make sure. I still have trackpad wake. The trackpad wake is really a cool feature, but I find that the trackpak keeps waking up my device in my pocket, and that kills my battery life. So I disable the trackpad wake on any rom I use.

Other than by display killing my battery in my pocket, this is an awesome rom, my favorite so far.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] killster:
thank you for your awesome work.

any word when the Mytouch4g Slide will be released to the public??

~killster
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tomb77:
Thanks. Also, I'm assuming if flashing doubleshot worked then I must have applied the DZ hboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cesarbric:
anyone having problem with wifi call apk? everything works fine here but that
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Omizuke:
Thanks you so very much! I was very irritated at people pointing out how dumb I was for no finding this option in any setting when in fact no one bother to confirm this option on their own setting. (Except mlynch at least he was polite, so ur cool)

Because this kind of things could happen, like when your looking everywhere for your key a after putting everything upside-down they were where you first look XD

And something that didn't help for me was the poor job that TMo (or HTC) make editing the theme, I mean for heavens sakes you can notice the missing homescreens.

Well anyway thanks again!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] creepinm3:
Mytouch 4G Slide is said for 6th or 7th of July
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GuiPoM:
On my French DZ I can read 0.85.0005. Do It mean I flashed a G2 hboot some time ago ? or I run the right DZ hboot in order to run this ROM ?

I want to give it a try, but I have first to check if my phone is well rooted to run it ! Thanks for your help ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SG_Shadow:
I'm all over the UNITY rom but...

...I will give this a try and see how I like it. I really appreciate all the hard work on making these ROM's. I have heard some amazing things about the camera app, but not that big a deal. I usually just uninstall it and go with the AOSP camera app. I will report any bugs/glitches found.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JassyNL:
This ROM is by far smoother than Unity. Beautifull ROM, I really love it !!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
No problems at the moment.

Also installed 2 themes from market which works with T-Mobile Theme engine!

Seems to work without problems.

Captivated Theme

Purpbread Theme

Hm,Yes,deleting "curcial-oj.kl" works at other ROMs for me too,but not at this ROM.

Seems wake up lockscreen and to sleep lockscreen are stored at HtcLockScreen.apk
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sensaab:
anyone having problems with wifi calling. mine opens and keeps on closing by its self. tired reinstall the rom again but still wifi calling is not working.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stratspider230:
I decided to give this rom a shot, coming from Unity 1.26. Jesus, this thing is butter smooth. I used to hate the Espresso UI on my old Slide, but this thing is slick as hell. I JUST applied the rom so no bugs yet, except some widgets not going back to portrait size from landscape. Small price to pay for me personally.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Niksie:
Is it just me or are there more users who can't connect to a exchange server?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tomb77:
Are you unable to connect at all as in a connection fail or something or are you having issues after connected?

The only issues I have noticed is with the newer native exchange apps that they seem to be utilizing the exchange server options more so. I would use old virtuous v0.8.0(1) with no issues and on the same server with the same account credentials on the newer sense roms I would get "no sd card", "no messaging" along with a couple others. I worked with the admin to get it resolved and it was just a couple settings on exchange.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Niksie:
After setting up my account i get a message that it cannot connect to the server. I'm sure i have all the settings correct. I've switched back to CM7.1 rc. There it does work.

Edit: it also works on virtuous 1.02 and the Unity rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tomb77:
I went back to unity but will go back here to see what I get. I thought it was working. During set up did you get a message that said the exchange server has certain requirements or something along those lines, and then have to activate the requests?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stratspider230:
Ive had the same problem. Some Sense and AOSP roms it takes it, others it doesnt. You have to manually input the smtp/pop/imap settings. I googled for mine, and since then (If I have to manually enter them) I dont have problems
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LagunaCid:
Anyone coming from Unity can tell if it's better/worse?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Better IMO
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LagunaCid:
Is it true that the lockscreen loses it's shortcuts?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stratspider230:
Better. A LOT faster and prettier imo
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slapshot30:
Can anyone confirm that this doesn't have all the lock screen options that Unity does, such as the weather one?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tomb77:
I confirm. None.

Nice avatar by the way.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
Indeed not, sadly
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
So you can use theme Chooser themes on this rom? *confused*
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SG_Shadow:
No google sync for apps/settings. That is a deal breaker. I know I could use Astro or other backup apps, but I shouldn't have to.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
I flashed doubleshot while i was on my flight and it was very purty except i dont have access to any of the HTC hub stuff. i especially missed my "peoples" widget.

i'm back on 1.27 for now but doubleshot definitly is extremely promising. I can't wait to see what rmk will cook up from this :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jandyman:
are you saying there is no drag to center shortcuts? so the lockscreen is JUST a circle you drag up?. . . . . dam. This should really be put in the first post with a screenshot of it

for me the best thing in sense3.0 is the lock screen with shortcuts so it may be a major dealbreaker :( and i spent hours downloading this just now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
I'd try it anyway, its definitely different from unity. Might find some things you like well enough
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
I agree with all your points. The ROM was very slick, and even though the OP didn't say so, the flash process says it uses EXT4.

I had a play with this ROM for about an hour. The People widget is definitely something I'd need. I also needed Groups but I made the mistake of agreeing to some TMOUS group text thing, and I wasn't able to set up any usual groups like Favourites, co-workers etc because the phone kept trying to activate the group-text service.

The other thing I noticed, and it may be only for my network (O2 UK), was that the ROM seemed to populate the APN list with all the available APNs for that network (prepay, postpay, virtual networks) so I had manually delete the APNs that didn't apply.

Apart from that, I was impressed with how smoothly the ROM ran. Very nice indeed! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tomb77:
exchange works great for me. If you are getting the activate certain server requirements, you should look at the details. PM me if you want so more insight as this may not be the place for exchange questions.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
What do you mean it uses ext4? Is a2sd compatible, then?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] drizzt16m:
So I did the hboot change and it wont get past the boot screen
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] david279:
Did you flash the rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] drizzt16m:
Yep sure did idk whats wrong it wouldnt even let me restore when i do the restore it still freezes on the boot screen
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
Those might be questions that rmk40 would be best placed to answer.

All I noticed was that during the flash process, it applied EXT4 optimisations which is similar to the flash process on the Unity ROM. I can only quote what it says on the Virtuous Unity Rom homepage about EXT4:

As to your other question, that I cannot answer.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
I have asked him, haven't gotten anything back :/ sense and a2sd seems like a great combo to me, burning can't make it work by myself
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] creepinm3:
If you see the HBOOT version I posted that is what you need in order to run it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] drizzt16m:
well i got this bad boy running finally i love it only thing is that now the wifi calling wont even stay open just closes
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mardenator:
Would it be possible for someone to flash the DZ Hboot some other way than adb? Like through the bootloader? I don't have adb working on my laptop, and it won't let me install the sdk or anything else. I'd love to try out this ROM, but I have no way to flash the Hboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stratspider230:
Yes, I flashed mine through boot loader. Back on Unitys post, a few pages back there is someone who describes in detail how to do it, and gives you the hboot pc10img for it as well
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] csufmedina1:
You don't necessarily need ADB to flash the DZ hboot to the G2 I tried this method and it worked flawlessly...

Credit to codemonkey10 for the step by step process..

You need the DZ H-Boot... the rom wont run or install unless you have it. here is how to install it on your phone (guessing its a g2) without having to use adb... (and here is the dz hboot download... http://files.virtuousrom.com/vision/misc/PC10IMG.zip)

Do a full nandroid backup before any of this, and you will need an sd card reader....

Download the h-boot and move it to the root of your sd card.

Turn the phone off and turn it back on by holding volume down and power.

You’ll be ask if you want to update, press volume up to proceed.

After your done you be asked press power to reboot, press it.

You should will see the white HTC screen, wait 5-10 seconds then pull battery.

Pull sd card out of phone, and place in a card reader.

Delete the PC10IMG file (dz hboot) and put the sd card back in the phone.

Then hold volume down and power to go to bootloader

Once in bootloader go to recovery

Do not wipe anything because the new h-boot wiped everything

In recovery go to install zip from sd card

Then, choose zip from sd card

Find the Virtuous Unity Rom in the sd card.

Choose it and wait for it to install

and that's it

With InsertCoin_Vision Sense2.1 + 3.0, I was able to uninstall WiFi calling by using Root Explorer to go to system/app mounting it as r/w, and deleting MS-HTCVISION-KNT20-02-A0-GB.apk , but in Virtuous Doubleshot v1.0.1, I can’t find this file (assuming it has the same name in this rom). Does anyone have any idea how I can uninstall WiFi calling? It is eating my battery, and I can’t even use the service, as I’m not on T-Mobile.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wadkikker:
Does anyone else experience bad WiFi reception with this rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] creepinm3:
I get the best wifi reception when connected. Very snappy
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
Downloaded and played with this ROM. Thank you RMK, as always, your efforts are greatly appreciated! Notwithstanding that, I am going back to Unity. Unity had more flexibility, music app, lockscreen options and was more smooth on my DZ. This ROM was slower, and network speeds were reduced. I also prefer the visual design of Unity (just a personal preference). Hopefully .27 of Unity works as well as previous versions!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
Terrible, may be a radio issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bryanpen:
I have a question. what radios are good for this rom? is it best to use the pre installed radio? and will this hz boot take s off?
