We know your busy n of course the new shiny phones have priority. Thanx for keeping my phone alive.

Sent from my forgotten by HTC Droid Incredible 2. Rooted and custom ROM by great minds at XDA that won't forget this phone.

I flashed Tazz's kernel and this ROM is super quick now. I forgot how snappy the phone can be. Lets see if it lasts but so far so good.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] n2locarz:
Hey guys. Been real busy lately and finally flashed to from 1.2 to 1.3.1 de-sensed last night. It's running very good. Great job Justin. A couple of issues I am having. I read a few pages back on these but didn't see a solution.

1) The AOSP lock screen doesn't show the incoming call until you first unlock it. Anyone found a work around for this?

2) Bluetooth caller id isn't working. Viper 1.2 would go like this. "Call from John Doe, say answer or ignore". Anyone know what package makes this happen?

3) Bluetooth audio is broken in 1.3.1 - it works great in 1.2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ltredbeard:
Try this (found a few pages back via search) Venom tweaks, lock screen, check aosp lock screen and it will give you the option to unlock on incoming call.

If so then was it deeper in the thread?

This;

"there's no point of flashing these kernels for a viper user." had me concerned.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jeremytn86:
He just said that cause there was some issues with the tazz one that are not present with the viper one, shouldn't hurt though...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] n2locarz:
Thanks, that worked great.

The Caller ID on Bluetooth is working after I rebooted. Still no audio from BT which isn't a big deal. Excellent work Justin!!

I see that Viper Rom 2.1.6 is out over on the vivo board. It has OTA updates and Sense 4.5 parts. Guessing that's what Justin is cooking for us.

That's the thread, I am having no issues with this kernel (wifi drop) but it appears the lag is still present. I did notice however I can stop the lag by killing all tasks in task manager which causes Rosie to reload. After that the lag is gone, it seems a little more stable though with the Tazz kernel but that could be in my head.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] AndrewJC:
Anybody know why every time I select something from the notifications drop-down, my clock disappears and then reappears from the status bar? It's annoying.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] n2locarz:
I'm not seeing that issue. Are you running 1.3.1? Sense?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] AndrewJC:
Yeah, 1.3.1 with Sense. I believe it's a dirty flash from 1.3.0, but 1.3 was a clean install from scratch. At first I thought it was a minfree issue, that for some reason it was killing the statusbar clock process and the system would auto-relaunch it, but I just noticed that it only does it (and does it every single time) when I click something from the notifications screen. As soon as it starts to launch whatever app I clicked the notification for, the clock goes away for a second or so, then comes back.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cac2us:
This ROM was great until I had to re activate it with my grandfathered unlimited data plan and needed the WiFi Hotspot.

I tried every one of the tether apps that used to work but when the app starts without errors, it can't be seen and therefore cant' connect.

The only time the hotspot can be seen is when it has errors regarding starting the WiFi circuit and is sticks at authentication.

Running Energy ROM from 7-26 for now. Hotspot works out of the box for unlimited use.

When I get over to WA I will try to get my LG Spectrum ironed out.

It's funny how when the device is activated, the signal is crappy at best.

When I de activate it the signal is perfect all day long...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dental4usa:
OK, this ROM is running great for me! Only .. I just tried to add a contact, and it added OK .. Then I realized there wasn't anywhere to type in the name! I know I'm probably missing something, I did search in this thread, but contacts display just fine, just no name for a new contact! Any ideas? Thanks :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] n2locarz:
The field to type in the contact name is at the very top in the address bar. At least it is on mine.

I'm unable to attach pictures to SMS via the gallery or in the messaging app. I'm on the desensed version. Any ideas?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bc13:
Has anyone tried using crossbreeder with this rom to help reduce lag? If you have how is it working?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] n2locarz:
I couldn't send our receive attachments on 1.2. It's working fine for me on desensed 1.3.1 did you try both sending out from gallery and attaching it from the messaging app?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] antdog24:
I'm using cross breeder, it still lags a little but not half as bad as it did. It definitely makes the ROM more useable.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dental4usa:
Oh Duh ... :o

It's such a small text box I missed it! I guess I was used to like First Name [box], then Last Name [box] ...

Bluetooth audio

I know in previous posts it was stated that the bluetooth audio did not work. Well while I was trying out winamp shoutcast radio services via the winamp app to an extent mine worked.

1. winamp played the "kicking the llamas @$$" tune at the start of the program << I think this file gets read from the phones HD

2. 1st attempt winamp did not play the streaming smoothbeats.com radio station (mp3 format, 128 kbps)

3. I noticed that the beats manager was not on so I enabled it from my taskbar

4. retried playing the same radio stream, and the audio worked

5. then tried other streams and was unable to get them to work along with other streaming audio apps (tunein, soundhound, etc..)

I have been able to successfully get smoothbeats.com to play over bluetooth after restarting phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] n2locarz:
Hey Rush. My Bluetooth works most of the time for audio. I have a Motorola Finiti ear piece and a Bluetooth receiver in my car. Most of the time they work. I will say that Venom 1.2 has more reliable Bluetooth. My ear piece will often disconnect when I receive a call, then we'll reset and then reconnect. Almost never had that problem on 1.2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dental4usa:
OK, so now I'm fighting with the camera. It just doesn't seem to like me. Actually, I searched this thread, and it seems that the camera may be a bit persnickety ... I'm not sure I want to use a 3rd party camera app, but I can, certainly ... I can also see about trying a different ROM ... I do like this ROM for the most part, though it's starting to get a little laggy here and there, but that may have as much to do with playing Minecraft PE as anything else! :P

Thoughts are welcome ...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] MoonMaster345:
Hey Nits seems like preludedrew got the 3.0 kernel working.

Any plans for you implementing it here?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] antdog24:
This ROM already uses a 3.0 sense kernel and the kernel that preludedrew is using is a AOSP kernel which isn't compatible with this ROM anyway.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FordNate:
3rd party apps are going to give you more options n better quality (per app basis of course) I've used procapture for the longest n I think it's great for me.

I run zero lag n my battery lasts about a day day n a half. I just slapped the desensed keeping rosie but then going back in with an app manager n stripping all but one widget n useless apps out n freezing rosie. Put on nova launcher. Removed almost all media n weather. N lastly installed latest busybox. Yeah tons of "extra" work but payoff is virtually no lag. Just what I did n it works

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dental4usa:
Wow, thanks so much!! So much great info! I need to get busy, one step at a time and see what differences they make.

Dude, really, thank you, I really do appreciate you taking the time to help me!! :D

Procapture is the app I noticed when I searched this thread, it looks fantastic!

Nova Launcher is self-explanatory.

Then I get confused ... "slapped the desensed keeping rosie but then going back in with an app manager n stripping all but one widget n useless apps out n freezing rosie." That and busybox I need to figure out
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gersto:
I have to say, since I did a clean install of 1.3.1 over 2 weeks ago, and loaded Seeder, the phone has been smooth. A few microlags occassionally but overall smoother than its ever been!

Previously I dirty-flashed over 1.2 and it was a nightmare. Even seeder didn't help after a while. Almost constant lag.

On top of that I had a ton of issues with app updates/installs. Always got "insufficient space" errors. Now 100+ apps (yes a few, 5, large ones are loaded on the sdcard) and still no errors. I did do a TB restore on a few apps but that's about 20, the rest I just did a batch re-install using the venom app installer

Goes to show, sometimes a good clean flash, and minimal TB restore, can make all the difference.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] n2locarz:
Dental, he it's saying to select the option to not use the HTC sense interface option during the install. I believe it's the cause of the lag. I haven't had one slowdown yet.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FordNate:
I install rosie during install, but freeze, wipe its data and cache once nova is setup. This way I still have the kickin lockscreen options. Also installed supersu off the market and made that a system app removing "their" su app. All the useless widgets (to me at least) that come with rosie I take out using tibu or another app manager. Using es file explorer or jrummy root browser lite i go in there and take out almost all ringtones/alarms/notifications/weather items that i do not use.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ryryrocco:
Thanks for this awesome ROM. I had been running your stock m ROM for months. My droid inc2 is now an MP3 player in airplane mode. I got 9 hours streaming music and still had over 50 % battery left after I got home. Cool.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dental4usa:
So let me pose this question: Would disabling Rosie in the Apps menu work instead of doing another install without it? Just wondering ..

I flashed my TP2 a lot, but this is my first on the Dinc2, so I'm still getting familiar with some things. Thanks for your patience, and help!! :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FordNate:
App menu not so much. U need to freeze it with an app manager. Disabling will only shut it down temp.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dental4usa:
OK, this is a must DO situation now. Had about 50% battery, plugged in, started playing Minecraft. Just got a message saying I was using more power than the charge I was getting so shut stuff down or turn off the phone. Wow! I will reflash and disable Rosie. Wish me luck! :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] n2locarz:
A few pages back there was talk about fixing the navigation text to talk issue by installing the ice gapps. Do I install the whole package? Anyone know the best one to use?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] vforaci:
This is what I flashed (gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip) and it worked for me. Yes, flash in recovery.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] n2locarz:
That worked like a charm. Thank you. I wonder if I can just install the single app.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Rushead:
Try it. Replace the existing one with the other & fix permissions.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dental4usa:
OK, I have now finally done what you have recommended! All that's left is removing ringtones/alarms etc.

So far, it seems smoother ... I'll update once I have a better feel, but I'm thinking that this was the answer! Thanks again! :D

Oh no! I have NO clock on my home screen! :eek:

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] hackma1990:
Dear developers.. i've been a heavy user for my D inc2 for a several monthes.. infact 90% of the roms developed for this device weren't that satisfying, at least for me.. except for this viper rom especially the aosp edition.. recently i'm facing some force boots especially if the device was restarted and left untouched for 3 min's. I'm using taz kernell which seams to be more stable than the stok one. Is there any thing could be done to fix this...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Stock is definitely more stable. Try using the supercharger script too. Tazz kernel isn't nearly as stable as the stock one.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FordNate:
I've been facing similar issues lately as well. Running stock kernel, but modified parts of the rom. Phone is just doing random reboots n sometimes I have low ring tones. I've fixed the low tone issue hopefully. Thinking I'm going to need to re flash the ROM n start the process of making it fit me again.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] n2locarz:
Hey Fordnate, how did you fix the low ring tone issue? I get that once in awhile
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FordNate:
Downloaded Volume Ace from the market.. Seems pretty stable for now
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Rumblur:
any chance we're ever going to see a GPS fix built in? None of the patches ever worked for me :(
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] anees02:
Great ROM but sometimes i faced some issues like camera button doesn't respond to take a photo...and i used both CDMA&GSM by standby but i can not send or receive sms messages in GSM mode.

How can i solve these issues?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] vforaci:
GPS works for me unless you toggle it then it stops until a reboot. Turn it on reboot and leave it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] casseer15:
I used gsm and SMS worked for me always.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] anees02:
In leaked ROM the GSM messaging worked fine but in this ROM it doesn't work.

i hope this ROM is more stable because i love it alot.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dental4usa:
OK, I have things running nicely, no lag, lots of bloatware and sense gone.

Another question: Is there another Rom that is better for gaming than this one, or am I now at the top? I'm on games on and off, all the time, and even though it's almost constantly charging, I can't keep it above about 60%.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] shorty1993:
Advance apologies if I have overlooked the info which I a.sure I have. What kernels can be used with this? ThankS in advance.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dreamkiller80:
There are no custom kernels for sense roms on this phone due to lack of source from HTC and Verizon

My own voice...?

Just flashed this the other day and wish I had done it a long time ago. Two questions that I couldn't find the answer to by searching:

1) I've noticed that in a call, I can no longer hear my own voice at all, which I didn't even realize phones were doing until this ROM WASN'T doing it (I had to try making a call on my wife's Bonestock inc2 to make sure I wasn' t crazy). Anyone?

2) My signal strength is showing up as much weaker than on Bonestock. I don't know if my ACTUAL signal is weaker or just the display of it. Again, anyone?

Thanks nits for all you've done for this device. I'm due for an upgrade, but am still too much in love with my Inc2 (at least, not worth $200 to switch to something else).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nate7784:
I agree, I just installed this ROM, and the firmware radio recommend for it and I'd say I average about a bar less than I was with stock. I use Verizon towers via page plus. I know what bars I get in different parts of my house and room even, and I'm usually 1 or 2 bars less than I used to be. Then again, its hard to say whether this was because the stock radio isn't as accurate, or is there indeed a loss in signal strength when you go from stock to custom ROM's and radios? That said, I love the ROM and am not complaining so much as I am curious.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Rushead:
Signal bars are rarely accurate from one rom to the next. Use the db setting if you want accuracy. You don't lose signal from software.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nate7784:
Right, but don't different radios perform with various results in speed, connectivity, and functionality? Thus the incentive to flash a radio.zip instead of simply using what comes stock with your phone. I am not questioning the ROM, I am trying to understand if my stock radio was giving me a better signal over the current custom one. I guess I could have two verizon phones, one stock and one with a flashed radio and test the db's using open signal or something like that.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Rushead:
Technically radios are "firmware"

I was referring to the rom.

You could flash different radios back & forth & measure.

Finally made a switch over this rom and it's incredible! Everything including gsm mode works, however the camera is a little buggy. I didn't flash the ICS firmware because I thought it only fix issues with calls which I didn't have. The stock camera takes pictures fine, but when I hit the record button, after about 3 seconds it quits and rebooted my phone! Would this issue be caused by not flashing the firmware? If so how can I retain my apps I have now, and do proper upgrade on firmware and restore everything like I have now on my phone.

If it is not firmware causing it, how can I fix this, or should I use a third party app and which app do you guys reccomend to use for the highest quality possible? Thanks for the help!
