Slow screen dimming

When I dim the screen, the change is slow and gradual, takes a few seconds. When I brighten it, it is instantaneous.

Is this intended behavior or a bug?

Either way, I would like the screen dimming to be instant, if possible.

Are others experiencing this?

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Yup. I was told it was going to be reported but never heard anything else about it (Post 2104 of the VU Inspire 4G thread)
[HTC Inspire 4G] smalis:
Thanks, homeslice - no wonder I couldn't find those posts, they don't use the word "dim." ;) (And, BTW, the creation of these separate ROM "Q&A" threads is ridiculous - but, I digress).

Back on point, I note that Post 2104 and the related posts are talking about choppiness in connection with the CRT screen shutdown. While the issue may be the same, I am specifically referring to time lag when I reduce the brightness of the screen, say from 100% to 25%. I just timed it, and it took almost 10 seconds for the screen to get down to 25%, while the change from 25% to 100% is almost instantaneous.

I take it this is a bug.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Sorry I misunderstood - and I agree about separate threads being ridiculous..

I just adjusted my brightness via the slider in Quick Settings and it was dimming and brightening real time as I slid. There was no lag time for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] smalis:
Well, son of a gun, you are right about that, mine works fine off that slider as well.

Where it lags is when I dim it with a widget (Brightness Level (from Curvefish), Elixir2, Tasker), when the widgets used to have immediate effect. All three widgets have the lag when I use them to dim the screen.

Would appreciate it if you could test one of those widgets to confirm.

Curiouser and curiouser.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Yup, Brightness Level definitely took about 10 seconds to dim, but brightened immediately. I've never used any of these widgets before so I can't speak for previous ROMs
[HTC Inspire 4G] smalis:
Thanks for the confirmation, it is definitely something in the ROM, as I have used this widget with many ROMS without this issue. I can live with it, but it is good to know the source is not my phone.

Weather wallpaper not working?

Since I put Virtuous Unity 2.37 on my phone(I'm coming from Coredroid 8.1) I've been very happy the battery life far surpasses anything I've experienced Coredroid, as well as themes that can be added to this rom, so overall I am very impressed. However, I'm unable to view the weather, and everytime I wake my phone up I get "The application HTC Weather Wallpaper (process com.htc.weatherwallpaper) has stopped working unexpectedly. Please try again, and force close. Is there any way to fix this?

I did do a full wipe before flashing the room.
[HTC Inspire 4G] porfymartinez:
Love this ROM :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] RickEphraims:
I agree, I have tried a few different ones but keep coming back to this one due to quadrant scores, battery life and smoother operation.:D:D:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
In the install instructions it states:

1. Make a full wipe (please don't use Full Wipe 1.5 (EXT4) or such tools)

Would someone please tell me why this makes a difference? Thanks in advance.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
The wipe script is not always dependable. Wiping the phone manually is easy. Go into recovery and select the wipe option. Wipe cache, dalvik cache, and you can also wipe system. Then also select wipe data/factory restore. Do not wipe anything other than what I listed. That is all you need to do. Make sure you backup before you wipe and that you flash a rom on your sd card after you wipe. Nice to see another Chicago native.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
Great. Thank you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cavsoldier19d:
I just flashed 2.39. Works well so far...maybe a little laggy with transitions in between screens. One obvious problem i am having is, anytime there is any kind of sound event, there is a cracking noise that follows sound events. When I put my ear up close to the speaker, you can her white noise following sound events, and the cracking sound is the white noise shutting off. Is anybody else experiencing this? Any suggestions?
[HTC Inspire 4G] RickEphraims:
Flashed this one yesterday, Did not ask to setup wifi on initial start up.

Did not recognise my wifi connection upon scanning.

Did a full wipe, etc

Gone back to 2.37.0

This one worked fine.....:)

Car Dock/Car Home Help

Alright,

Just downloaded VU today and I love it, I even got the genius button working for the first time since I was running the stock ROM.

VU does not come with a car dock, or car home app. I've tried downloading them manually but none of them work with VU. Has anyone had any success with this? TIA.

[HTC Inspire 4G] hokiesteve:
Having the same type of problem. Running 2.39 and get noise + a click after any sound comes out of the speaker (i.e., ringtone, notification, etc) even with full wipe and re-flash.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dschreiber69:
Hmm... I flashed 2.39 yesterday hand have not experienced any problems yet???

Did you check your md5 before flashing?

Can anybody comment on how battery life compares to the MIUI rom for our phones?
[HTC Inspire 4G] dschreiber69:
I ran MIUI for about a month - I have to say it is comparable. I last a day no problem.

Unless my kids get a hold of it a Netflix or game the heck out of it ;)

%s when using Volume Up/Down after installing Digital%(5bar)

So the title says it all...Has anyone come across this?

Instead of saying "Ringer Volume" it says "% s" when i press the volume up/down button.

I'm running 2.39.

I picked up the file from an earlier post in this thread - Circle%(5bar)(H+forHandH+).zip.

Let me know if you have any suggestions. If there is something better out there please let me know that as well.

I forgot to add that the battery percentage indicator does work. Just the Ringer Volume text is the only issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dschreiber69:
Did you get the one for your version?

My guess is that you grabbed a zip for a version other than 2.39

I know, cause I did the same thing (only my status bar disappeared!)

Really need to read through the posts, especially after an update comes out ;-)

Hope that helps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tcozman:
Thanks! I figured it was something stupid like that on my end.

2.39

I just flashed Virtuous Unity 2.39 and my SD card messed up. It has all my pictures, music, videos on there but it will not install apps from the market to it. I've tried unmounting then remounting, turning it off and taking it out, just about everything aside from formatting. It'll install apps to the phone perfectly fine. Could one of y'all help me please

has anyone been able to get facebook push notifications working on VU? it wont for me.....

TBH though, the ONLY rom they have worked for me on is MIUI ????? theories anyone?
[HTC Inspire 4G] dschreiber69:
I am using GB Sense 3.0i and have no problems with push.

When I ran vu 1.31 I was able to get pushes from facebook, have not tried with 2.39.

Anyone else?
[HTC Inspire 4G] VinceG:
I'm having an issue and I think it may be kernel related, are there any other kernels comparable with unity?

Battery mod using Kitchen

Hey all,

I attached the default battery mod made from kitchen and am using it successfully in VU 2.39. I only used all of the defaults in kitchen for the battery (circle with battery percentage in the middle). This may save some time for anyone else that just wants to see a battery percentage as well as seeing the current percentage while charging.

I wasn't sure if i should place it here or in the themes and apps section so i apologize if this is in the wrong place.
[HTC Inspire 4G] b3nny:

I have a question that needs an answer :)

I installed VU on my inspire 4g. i have all my contacts on it and such . however i am giving that phone to my wife now. can i do a factory restore and it will restore it to the way VU was originaly installed without my apps and my contacts?

thanks !
[HTC Inspire 4G] gordonChumway:
If you do a data factory reset in clockwork it should load the current ROM (In your case VU) but without any user data that you have on it now.

I would also recommend wiping the cache and dalvik while you're in there to get a fresh start.

Lost Facebook over wifi, market only shows 3 apps...

I upgraded from 2.35 to 2.39 with a full wipe. Whats weird is a couple weeks after using it my facebook app refuses to work over wifi. Everything else works fine, just not facebook.

Also, my market only shows 3 apps, the ones I've installed after the 1.39 upgrade. The other apps were restored via TiBu Pro, which has never given me any problems like this. I've already checked with MoreLocale 2 that its set to USA.

Camera

Do any of the Virtuous roms feature a camera that has the self portrait mode working? Specifically the latest sense 3.5
[HTC Inspire 4G] xxprolmracerxx:
I'm pretty sure that Affinity is the only rom that has sense 3.5 but I'm not sure what you're looking for in self portrait mode. It has face detection but it won't automatically take a picture when it sees a face. And I'm sure you know the Inspire doesn't have a front facing camera.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bldonne:
i got 2 important questions about virtuous unity 2.39 and virtuous affinity for the inspire.

1) which is better in terms of batt life and performance? vu or va?

2) does virtuous affinity resolve the problem of small MMS?
[HTC Inspire 4G] prisonnet:
From personal experience, VU is much better than VA. Seems more polished, less buggy, and definitely faster. But development has stopped on both anyway, so they're staying in the state that they're in now. Which to me gives the nod to VU.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BillTheCat:
My experience was exactly the inverse. I found Affinity to be faster and the new release of 2.0.5 solves some bugs.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
As some of you have come from the captivate know what I did there with Rom Q&A threads. I am doing the same here. In an effort to clean up the site. All Rom related question shall from now on be posted in the proper Q&A or will be deleted on sight.

So was it strange that I was never told this thread even existed and had no idea until just now? For anyone still having problems, a few troubleshooting techniques:

-When installing, are you sure you cleared cache and dalvik? If coming from a major release to a major release, did you do a full wipe instead?

-Are you using the proper radio, as posted in the first post of the thread?

-Are you using any task managers or antivirus apps?

i just flashed 1.2.11 to my phone which i decided to finally root after about 4 months, and i love it. I installed barnacle due to the stock hotspot debacle and when i go to use it it tells me that NAT is not connected. now here at work, where i am testing it, i dont have great connection but i can get 3g to work here. what does it mean when NAT does not connect?
[HTC Inspire 4G] michaelnel:
Sorry, no answer here on the hotspot issue. Have you PMd Mister ClearD? He is very responsive and has been working hard on this whole hotspot issue... he'd likely be very interested in your problem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] michaelnel:
I too am running 1.2.11, and am delighted with it. However, I am wondering if there is any way to get more volume out of the speaker for ringtones and alarms. I have them maxed out on the phone's adjustments, but it's still awfully quiet.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Hiyabuz:
Michael look for an app called volume+ made by meltus I believe in the market. It works with gingerbread but not froyo. There is a few other fixes for the volume limit but I can't link them currently because I am on my phone. Do a search for it and it should come up. If someone doesn't post it up.
[HTC Inspire 4G] michaelnel:
Thanks, got it and it does help!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pytheous:
i sent him a PM. if he gives an answer that works i will post it and let everyone know.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marcano:
Hello,

Last night I flashed the latest ClearDroid ROM 1.1.51, but when I check under the software information menu, it says the Android version is 2.2.1

The flash seems to work because it says it's running Cleardroid.

Shouldn't it be running the Gingerbread (2.3) update or am I mistaken?

Also, the data connection seems to screw up, and only works when it wants. Sometimes ROM Manager will disappear from the apps menu.

I did a full wipe before flashing and it still won't work.

I also just flashed CoreDroid and it did update to 2.3 , but I want my stock HTC theme back!

Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Hiyabuz:
The version 1.1.51 is still on froyo build but has the new ril for gingerbread. On the first page of the Dev post he has a link to the matching radio. Give it a flash and see if it helps with your data connection. If you want gingerbread his version 1.2.xx is the gingerbread Rom (still in beta), it has the fix for messaging but he is still working on tethering. It's still the stock look to the dot :)

On the app side I don't know what could be going on there, sorry I couldn't help on that point, (since I'm not having that particular error)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pytheous:
im personally running 1.2.12 RC2 which is his latest Beta, along with the suggested radio. i dont have any problems with network and it looks and behaves great while keeping that stock look. honestly i love this ROM. if you have any major questions just send ClearD a PM and he will get back to you. probably my favorite dev because he is so thorough and responsive to his followers.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pytheous:
to post my own answer ClearD told me that 1.2.12 has a working tether program. he is still working on making the stock tether work but for now the one he has included in the rom works great so no need for barnacle
[HTC Inspire 4G] marcano:
Thanks Pytheous and Hiyabuz! I'll give the latest beta a shot because last night I flashed the rooted AT&T stock rom and my battery life improved but I'm still having data problems. Now I'm not sure if it's my cell company or the ROM that's causing the problems.

I'm afraid of flashing the radio and losing my signal completely! :rolleyes:
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pytheous:
This ROM, from what i can tell, is basically a stock ROM with all of the bloatware crap taken out, and a few cool gadgets added here and there. I love the ROM and the way it feels, but what i love the most is the responsiveness of the Dev for the ROM. If i have an issue i just send him a PM and he either sends me an answer or gets to work on it right away.

as for the radio i flashed the reccomended one on his original dev post and i actually get better signal in most places.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pytheous:
I also have another question of my own. i wanted to test out the GPS last night and it seemed a little more sluggish than stock. i could be immagining things but i was wondering if anyone else was having this problem also.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Hiyabuz:
He has already inserted the fix in the Ron you have to let it lock a few times then its faster than stock
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pytheous:
ok thanks buz. i just wanted to check

i only used it for about 3 min so it wasnt a very good judge of use
[HTC Inspire 4G] Hiyabuz:
For example yesterday I retried mine first reconnect of gps after upping to new radio took 5 mins without vase and was sluggish. With case it took almost 10, today with case on first lock took 14secs with an 8 sat lock inside and using my case. ;) its been awesome since he put in the gps fix. B4 it could take up to 30 mins for first lock without my case and it was only like 4 sats.

Hello CleardDroid team;

I am a big fan your ROM, it works great on my phone. I have some serious issues using this ROM;

1) I am unable to compose message, when i try to compose message it force closes. I have tried alot to fix the issue but unable to resolve it. I have cleared its data, restarted it, fix the permissions using ROM manager, but failed to fix the issue.

2) Hotspot is not working, but I guess you are working on it.

[HTC Inspire 4G] :
Don't have a question. Just wanted to give props to the ClearDroid team. This is a great rom and I have gone through quite a few since I had my phone. Despite every combination of radio/ril and rom ive gone through i come back to this one. It's the only rom that actually gives me a usable signal so i can have a phone conversation anywhere in my concrete apartment building. Usually i have to sit near a window with the usb plugged in. CD lets me walk around and talk clearly without drops and battery still holds well. I have no test data for this, but this is just my experience and wanted to thank you for your hard work. I couldn't give a lot but tossed a donation your way. keep doing great work. :)

Im currently using:

Clear Droid 1.2.5

I will make a new A2SD version with 1.3.0 when I release it. :) Sorry for slacking on it, I wasn't sure anyone still used it lol.

Daru, THANK YOU! :) I don't do this professionally, and I don't think Bdaman does either lol. We are just 2 guys who wanted a good, stable, bug free ROM based on what the Inspire actually was built from. So, that's what we are building. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tonycard:
No Worries ClearD I just wanted to try A2SD I've never used it.

-BD-Ace Kernel (Built from Inspire Source)

-HTC Kernel PerfLock Disabled

-Interactive, Conservative, and Powersave SetCPU Governors Added

Ok..I'm running 1.2.4...now I have been using ondemand set 245-1024....let me get this straight...with setcpu I can use anything from interactive to performance if I want??? I just need a little clarification..:confused:

[HTC Inspire 4G] Tonycard:
I'm currently using 1.2.5, when 1.3.0 comes out will I have to do a full wipe? Or can I just upgrade like I've been doing since 1.2.2 and just clear catch and dalvik? So far it's been working well for me that way.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pytheous:
I actually tried this, on accident (brain fart), and it didn't work. my sms and mms notifications didnt work and a couple of other functions didnt work. kinda sucks i know but the new rom is WELL worth the wipe.

How to perform a full reboot??

Hey all, kinda new to this. I first have to say this new Cleardroid 1.2.5 is incredible. Kudos to the devs. My only concern I have and I figure I am just doing something wrong is I still get the AT&T popup warning when trying to use the WIFI hotspot. Reading through some of the articles makes mention to ensure to perform a clear partition wipe when switching from a stock ROM to Cleardroid. I just used ROM Manager and checked to the two cache clearing options it gave me. Was that not enough? Is there some thing more I need to format to reinstall the same Cleardroid 1.2.5 ROM?

(Before its asked, yes I did update the APN and rebooted and still get the Hotspot popup resulting with the Hotspot turning itself off)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tonycard:
I'm downloading 1.3.0 now, I'll try it this weekend. Will the modpacks in the 1st post work with 1.3.0?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
There is a second WiFi hotspot app included called WiFi tether, I believe. Use that one, as the stock one is locked down tight without a tethering plan, since we discovered the fix in froyo.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
The modpacks for gb will indeed work with 1.3.0. :) they've even been updated to modpack version 1.2.3 with a new lockscreen.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tonycard:
Can't wait to try it! Thanks...:)
[HTC Inspire 4G] bculli05:
