+1 on sluggishness, don't know what the issue might be, love this ROM and everything that I need works, but it takes a while to get there. Going to try supercharger to see if it helps.

Running sense version btw.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] antdog24:
I got fed up as well. It sucks because the ROM is so perfect but I just couldn't handle trying to make a call and waiting a good 5-10 seconds from the time I press the button to the time the call is placed.... it was just waaay too laggy. I went to ICS MIUI with the Viper Kernel and its like night and day. Ultra responsive.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PharmCAT:
I still feel there was something after the 1.0.2 jump that might have played a role in the sluggishness that followed the versions after.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
the rom jumped to sense4.1 after that....which on most phones is smoother/better

but given the lack of resources (mem/proc) compared to phones its meant to run on....could be an issue
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FordNate:
But we can desense it n lose cool lock screens n tweaks or sense it n use another launcher, strip all major sense outta it n lose our clock. ;)

Running the de-sensed version with Nova Launcher is pretty awesome. No lag here :)

Got lost somewhere. How do I get the desensed version/desense?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
It's in the aroma installer
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Un1c0de:
For the browser and mail I just pulled them from a cm9 Rom. I tried the messaging aosp app but couldn't get mms to send. I was able to get contacts working also but for the dialer I believe it would require a lot of framework changes. I would love to venture a try, but unfortunately my available time is extremely limited.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Dark7star:
Its much better, but not all the lag is gone.

I still get a little lag going to make a phone call or text. To me this really is not that big of deal and in no way am I complying.

:p
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ma70ent:
Yeah I think there's always gonna be a slight lag. I mean after all, we're not using the "ideal" kernel (we're still using an old chinese one, right?)

Also, don't you mean "complaining" and not "complying"? :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] king kratos:
I have been running the de-sensed version for a few days now and van tell you that the lag I experience nite is nothing remotely close to what I experience with the sense version. I miss sense, but some creative developers have come up with widgets that look almost the same and work better. For instance fancy widgets with a sense based skin and Android pro widgets do great for me. Combine those with nova launcher and I can barely tell the difference.

Only think that is disappointing with de-sensed is you lose a lot of the built in tweaks.

On a side note, I have noticed one minor, yet irritating thing. When my screen is locked and I receive a call, I have to fully unlock the phone before I can answer. We lost the lockscreen answering function. Hopefully nits well see this and fix it...

All in all very nice...

I have the same problem when answering phone calls. De-sensed 1.3.1
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] acvega:
@kratos, go into venom tweaks, lock screen, check aosp lock screen and it will give you the option to unlock on incoming call.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
The AOSP lock screen only works like that with the AOSP dialer. Sense lock works with sense dialer. Unfortunately, HTC made it hard for developers to get certain things to work properly such as that.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] king kratos:
Unfortunately this doesn't work. I really think it has to do with the dialer. Since the de-sensed version still uses sense based apps, but removed Rosie, it also breaks some things...

I wonder if it may be something else. I'm running 1.3 desensed and that auto unlock on incoming call works fine for me. Been running it that way since Nit released 1.3.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] matrx10503:
Soo.....I didn't see this issue anywhere.

Since i've started this rom, disk mode (the connect-to-pc dialog option box to automatically open when usb inserted) has been the hardest thing to work consistently.

I have to plug and unplug, change to different USB port, all this before the connect to pc thing pops up or the USB symbol shows up.....but it always charges. After a bit of unplugging, and retrying....it finally asks me to select disk mode, charge only, etc. etc.

I have a Pioneer cd player in which you can plug up USB devices and it will read the music from the device. Takes multiple times to get it finally playing and phone recognizing to go into usb debug.

I don't think my port is going bad, because it always starts charging when plugged up.

Pretty much its trial and error to finally transfer things off my phone each time :-/

So Im guessing I have a usb debug issue or something to that sort?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Dark7star:
Since we were talking about lag. I found this article on Droid life . I installed the app and at first i didn't really see any improvement. But for some reason the next day it seemed to get snappier.

IDK, might be the placebo effect.

Going to Europe next week Just went back to TSM Sense 3.5. I forgot how fast this phone really is!!

On Friday I will be moving on to a rezound. Got it for free. My dad gave me his old thunderbolt a few weeks ago. Signed up for the extended warranty promotion Verizon has going right now. Told them the device was horrible and returned it x2. Asked what else was available and they sent me a rezound. Will keep this phone as an awesome mp3 player for a bit.

Great ROM one Question

i flashed the de-sensed version of this rom and it has been great, but i didnt have a gallery apk. I thought I'd solve that by just installing the APK i found on another thread (it's stock ICS not themed), but the Gallery still wont link with the messaging app or the camera app.

Any one had this issue? Can I flash Gapps and fix it?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thenaut:
When I ran this desensed it had a gallery. Gallery isn't included in gapps. I would reflash and make sure you didn't actually remove it during aroma. I believe its called HTC Gallery(maybe).

sent from my highly profitable Super-PAC
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PharmCAT:
I am running the desensed 1.3.1 now, and also have removed majority of the other HTC apps. And am using QuickPic in place of the gallery, and it does seem I lose any sort of association with the camera as well as the texting app.

Maybe since the both the camera and the messaging app are HTC, they require that the HTC gallery, that comes with the ROM, be present to use it.

I haven't tested with reflashing yet, so am not sure what has to be done for it to work.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ltredbeard:
Now that you mention it, I bet I removed it if it was named HTC Gallery. I've never had a ROM where you could de-sense it, and I tried to remove everything to make it just like an AOSP ROM.

If anyone can pull the APK I'd be grateful since I wouldn't have to reflash and lose all the customizations. If not, I'll try to dirty flash and see what happens!

Edit: If I can't get the APK I might just try to find the AOSP "People" and "Messaging" apps.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] fen0m:
If u have the viper ROM zip just open it and dig for it. System/app I believe
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ltredbeard:
Thanks for the advice, I was actually just re-downloading it to give it a try.

An idea that would be cool is to be able to get rid of the quick settings tab and remap the settings button in the status bar to quick settings instead of having the tab, kinda like zues mod.

thanks in advance for all that take the time. willing to listen to thoughts of ROMs that may work better with this, although i prefer not to change.

Thanks again

Looks like none of the venom tweaks are sticking. I tried to change the carrier caption and it remained the same. I did the quick reboot as required and when i went to try to change it again in the tweak menu it showed what i had set it to but it doesn't show up in the phone's notification pull down.

So it looks like no viper tweaks are working for me.

Does anyone know if this ROM is supposed to work on Verizon Wireless? Everything seemed fine when I first installed it yesterday, the carrier logo said Verizon Wireless and I was connected to everything, but barely used it.

Today suddenly it says "No service.vodafone NL", i rebooted it, recycled the all the radios (wi-fi, 3g, 2g, etc) and nothing seems to work. The signal is sitting at nothing but I can receive a call after about 10 rings but it NEVER shows the 3G icon and says "unable to connect" for any Data.

This ROM seems like a mess for one that's been out so long.

1 this rom is not a mess. Devs work hard on it for free. 2 redownload it on a computer with a stable Internet connection. Md5 sum check it making sure numbers match and transfer it to ur phone. Md5 sum check it again and reinstall it. Might of had a bad flash of it.

Trust me I've been on this rom n have used this dev for a lil bit. If it was a "mess" as u say what's ur main issue with it? The Vodafone? Don't trip mine did it as well when I had a bad flash of it.

Did u know Verizon and HTC struck a deal and put god mode on phones n know exactly what u type n the phone listens to you sleep. Don't believe me? Google it and stay outta places you shouldn't be.
