this may sound like a stupid idea but you can try to underclock your processor.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SomeGuyDude:
I do that, actually. I'm a big fan of underclocking. I rarely do anything too intensive, so I don't need full power. But I swear I got more life out of sky raider than virtuous.

Testing out the adrynalyne experimental battery kernel now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] larsrya8:
Are you using the 2.15.00.09.01 radio by chance? It's supposedly harder on the battery than the official 2.15.00.07.28 radio.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SomeGuyDude:
Nope, but I'm not talking in absolute terms here. Rather I mean that it feels like I can't get as much battery as I used to with sky raider with king 5.

Used to get through a work day with fairly heavy usage, but I can't here.

3D Cube

Is there any way to port over the 3D Cube like app drawer over to Virtuous? I love that effect...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] colonel187:
Yes
[Droid Incredible Android Development] john10101:
i am running virtuous with the stock kernel, with standard use. I unplugged it sunday morning, and i still have 25% battery left. one thing i did do tho, is go in and kill any tasks i was not using. but i did that on sunday.

i also have the extended battery, which is not all that large when you think about it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] colonel187:
You could flash it from skyraiders section but I think you would need to use launcher2 to see it
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dbu:
From what I have gathered in my short time owning the dinc, the battery life just plain sucks regardless of rom or kernel. Now, you may gain some improvements by flashing a different rom or kernel, but comparatively speaking battery life still sucks. I got an oem 2150mah battery and couldn't be happier. It didn't add too much bulk and I can go all day and then some with heavy usage. Virtuous is still the best rom I have tried, and does seem to offer better battery life with a custom kernel, comparatively speaking of course.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] SomeGuyDude:
I'd get a bigger battery, but I'm using a Seidio Innocase and from what I understand, those won't fit.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trimax84:
Word is...the 1800mah batteries from Amazon or eBay work very well and don't require a bigger case. Mine is being shipped, so we'll see. (Got 2x1800mah and a wall charger for $35)

As is, I get about a days use with stock battery, virtuous 3.0.1 and kings kernel #5.

Link please?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] XGaSpAcHo:
does anyone else get a message that says " loading new albums and photos" every single time they open up google 3d gallery app?

i thought it might have been the fact that it's pulling down my picasa albums so i disabled that sync but it still does it.

and how come the 3d gallery won't show any pictures from the phone's internal storage?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] XGaSpAcHo:
also (and i'm sorry about asking so many questions lol) but is there a reason why USB debugging was turned on by default?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BDragonD24:
I seem to be having problems sending MMS. Whenever I try to send out any type of picture message I get the android.mms. process error. Any ideas on fixing this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dltccf:
gallery app

I had to just let it run for a very long time the first time, but it did eventually get all the albums and photos loaded...except the DCIM folder on the internal storage. How do we get it to look there?

--

================================================
[Droid Incredible Android Development] XGaSpAcHo:
that's what i'm trying to figure out. it's not just the DCIM folder too. i tried putting a file right on the root of the SD card and it didn't see it either. the htc gallery app had no problems.

anybody else having the same issue?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
Yes. Reading the internal storage would be good. Common problem.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] camalus:
Agree on internal storage.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixs4r:
Speaking of internal storage....

I transfered my music collection to it. Should the HTC music/stock music android app be able to see it? At the moment it's not....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] haru3173:
Try creating a "Music" or "MP3" folder on the root of the internal storage and put all your songs in there.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixs4r:
I tried "Music" I'll try mp3 later today.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
I've been using it with my music on the internal. Just got a larger sd and the native player will read internal and external. Mostly I've been using Mixing because it was the only one I found that read the internal, my playlists, has a lock screen widget, and has an equalizer. With Mixzing however you must choose either internal or external storage, can't have both. Now that I have the dsp manager and the the rotary lockscreen I don't really need Mixzing.

My problem now is that the rotary lockscreen music widget is reading Mixzing! Don't know how to change that.

"symlink dumpcrash" causing install fail

I'm running into the same symlink error as OSully. Drat. New user, so I can't post the link... It's post 209 on page 21.

Although, now it's line 9. I sent in the error log through ROM Manager.

I've tried formatting the system partition. Didn't work. I tried reinstalling several times, and it always fails on the same step.

I'm rooted, S-Off, the latest SU, BusyBox is installed, and I used Titanium Backup to backup and clear out the bloatware. I did put on a custom boot pic, but I can't see how that would muck this up.

UPDATE:

I went reading through the log and the update script. I think the symlink error is mis-leading. The REAL error (I think) is coming from minzip extracting an apk. So, I checked the MD5, and it doesn't match. <sigh> I can't get a byte count from the FTP site, but I'm within 1MB!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Anyone else notice battery life is horrible? I unplugged this morning at 7:00 (Eastern), it's spent most of the morning in airplane mode (No signal where I work, pretty much a bunker) and very little usage when I've been outside... already down to 65 percent by 10 AM. I can pretty much watch the battery drop.. Wifi is off, GPS is off.. Stock kernel, "Power saver" kernel doesn't seem to be any better. It'll be 30% or so by the time I get off work.

I've never had this problem with any other ROM, even overclocking, but just received a replacement phone (warranty), loaded virtuous on it. The Incredible I just sent back had virtuous on it, same problems...

Any idea of a fix? I don't get it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
There's no reason for it to be that bad. Look at the battery info and see what's using so much juice. Also, try bump charging.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Cell standby 51% (Time on 3h 16m, Time without signal %10)

Phone Idle 32% (Time on 4h 29m)

Android System 13% (CPU total 3m 6s)

Display 4% (Time on 19m 53s)

edit: will try bump charging.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] REYES702:
I think he means go more indepth like using "System Panel" and seeing what each application is doing via cpu usage and mem usage. The battery screen tells hardly any info at all.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
I am not having that experience at all. If my phone is in Airplane mode and I just leave it alone, I can go 8 hours and only lose a few percent of my charge.

My first guess is that you have some sort of process/app running that is sucking all that juice. Perhaps a task manager that keeps auto-killing processes over and over? Like I said: just a guess.

I'm using King's BFS#5 kernel, but still - that's a huge difference between us. I would take a fine toothed comb to your apps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Bump charging right now.

No task manager running. When I "go up for air" after the bump charge, I'll download system panel and see what's hogging resources. As far as apps, I'll go through them, but nothing out of the ordinary (Google Voice, ROM manger, RetroCam, WifiFoFum [I hardly use, but I make sure to "exit" when done]). I've got Facebook (the HTC version syncing contacts every 12 hours) and the Facebook app itself sync set to manually. One widget (Google voice) and that's it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] heliotropeUCSD:
Just FYI, my battery life is fairly stellar. I have the 1750 mAH battery, and under normal to heavy use I average 5% drop per hour. Also, I don't "hard" bump charge, but I do typically turn off the alarm, check email, and then plug the phone back in for 5 minutes without rebooting or anything.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Iamshakes:
I have no battery issues and usually go for a minimum of 24 hours with medium/light use. I define that as emails, texting, some games, a couple phone calls and web.

Last weekend i had very light use and made 36 hours and was at 40% before i remembered that it had been a while since i charged.

I don't bump charge and use the custom kernal. I keep wifi on for about 12 hours a day usually over night. for the past 264 hours of up time (54 awake)(since i last reset battery stats in clockwork) i have 30% cell standby, 29% idle, 23% wifi, 8% android, 7% voice, 3% display. I have noticed my battery life did improve when i stopped using launcher pro and went with a modified rosie.

This rom has been nothing but stable (hence 264 hours of up time). I havn't had any issues.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] REYES702:
I don't know what WifiFoFum is but is your Wifi connection set to go to sleep after 15 minutes? If not, that might be part of your issue. I noticed my phone got much better once I changed that in my network settings.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
Bump charging has never helped me though others swear by it.

What temp are you running at? I've had situations where I noticed my temp was very high. I assumed some app or service was grabbing the cpu. Rebooting cleared it in my scenario. Try killing as all the apps you can.

Are you using setcpu? Do you have profiles in it? I do and when my phone is sleeping with the screen off I hardly use any battery even with phone service and wifi on.

Do you have the insurance on it? Might be easier to just have Asurion replace it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
Did you put 3D Gallery on? I saw one poster complaining that it was constantly in sync mode. Working fine for me though.

I suppose it could be a service and not an app. Try something like OS Monitor and see what's using resources.

You might have just gotten a bad battery. This may actually be the most likely explanation. If it was me I would walk into the Verizon store, tell them I think I heard the battery life is terrible on the phone but still I think I got a bad battery if not a bad phone, and get them to give me a deal on an extended battery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
Note to Self? Car Home?

So this morning I tried that not to self voice command. Sent the note, have no idea where it went. Wasup wit dat?

Also installed Car Home Panel. Read in a post that it can be configured to automatically connect to the BT device of your choice. I see no configuration settings at all.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
I should have clarified... I have the Seidio 1750 mAH battery with these issues. (which makes it even harder to believe that I should be having battery issues)

I uninstsalled WifiFoFum, but wireless is usually disabled unless I'm at home, and even then I hardly use it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
Try another battery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pinokio_best:
Battery life very bad.I did not have any problems with 2.7 I already tried different battery and settings.At first i thought its inc revolution but i guess not.I thinking going back to 2.7
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pinokio_best:
Forgot to mention i also tested stock and v2 kernel. Same thing bad battery life.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] najaboy:
Apparently your phone isn't actually in airplane mode if cell standby has consumed so much of your battery. The stats that you posted tell me that your phone's radio is the culprit. Per chance are you using the 9.01 baseband?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] chillmeow:
Are we getting another update anytime soon?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
And if that is the case and you are in a low signal area I believe your phone may use a lot of juice hunting for good signal.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
I can't send MMS either. Is this the ROM or the adrenalyne kernel?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rayporsche:
That doesn't mean that there is a fault within the ROM as much as it could be related to the flashing procedure or many other variables, sometimes people update without wiping and that can cause problems, not saying that you didn't or what not but for some of us the MMS app is working flaulessly as it is everything else with this ROM. As an example sometimes I send an MMS to my I-Phone with a picture attachment and it doesn't work, then again it doesn't happen because my MMS-app is broken, it happens because the picture was taken using the 8-Megapix format and just by switching to a different lower MP it goes thru.Just when you think you have it all figure out, think again...........................Just saying...............
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
I did not wipe when I flashed Virtuous. I chose Virtuous to avoid the wipe. What settings do I lose with a wipe that don't get restored with Titanium? In other words how much of a nuisance is it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] douger1957:
My experience is that you lose your home screen settings...and some, but not all of your phone's basic settings aren't recovered.

Including a Titanium recovery, it generally takes me about 25 minutes to restore my phone completely after a wipe and ROM install.

I do a full wipe...including battery stats and Dalvik...anytime I flash a new ROM. I may be wrong, but I don't want to take the chance of some artifact from the previous installation causing problems that would be difficult to troubleshoot.

So far, I've been extremely fortunate. I've not had any problems with ROMs I've installed that other people weren't having too.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thebigshuck2:
I wouldn't say that my battery life is "very bad," but I definitely have had worse battery life with 3.0.1 than I ever did with several different kernals when using 2.7. Considering going back to 2.7 until the next Virtuous update.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crackers8199:
i don't mean to be annoying, but i keep asking this and nobody seems to have an answer, and they're both still there.

can anyone answer this? rmk, or anyone else?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Starting from a fresh bump charge, at work with airplane on, The Virtuous custom kernel, SetCPU set to conservative with the screen off profile enabled.. I'll monitor battery usage in about an hour.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
With the custom kernel, I think I used a profile for Screen Off set at conservative and 245-384. With your scenario, you shouldn't drop past 98%.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
Just reflashed rom with custom kernel and wipe. Still cannot send MMS.

Update- issue resolved: restored with Nandroid to get back where I was. The problem was with the message size limit in Handcent.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jiggadroid:
The app itself doesn't look at internal storage. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the Rom.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Yep. I actually think the HTC Photo Viewer is a better app for this and many other reasons but offer the 3D Gallery because some prefer it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
I flashed Virtuous with custom rom, my first rom flash. I have set cpu profiles as recommended. I was hoping to see battery life improvement. If anything it may ne worse now.

Any suggestions based on other's experience?

Unable to play this type of audio file

I just rooted and s-offed for the first time. I loaded this rom on a stock 2.1. Everything went fine (as far as I can tell). After the data wipe I re-loaded all of my apps. So far everything seem fine except I can no longer play wav files. I get voice mails as wav file attachments. They worked fine under 2.1 but fail to play with this rom. I get "Unable to play this type of audio file". What did I do wrong?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Virtuous 2.3 is ready for action. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cantare:
Yeah, but what are you naming the file? Try

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/VZW_bootanimation.zip

and think case-sensitive.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jasek78:
have to flash the entire rom for an update from 2.2 to 2.3? i don't use teeter or city id anyways, can't i just use root explorer to get rid of the city id stuff you forgot to remove?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Just delete /system/framework/com.cequint.platform.jar
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Yadao:
Mine is that way too. I like it. I'd imagine that this was in the original OTA.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SirBindy:

It is suppose to be that way. Here is what is in the release notes of the OP.

Minor theme modifications to remove GPS locator icon in the status bar and add transparency to the notification pull down menu. Thanks to pardonmyfreedom (aka pmf) and aiccucs for doing the work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Deyez:
Loving this ROM! The Drooooid startup sound was annoying, and like the removal. IF I would like to replace it with a different sound...where would I need to place the file? mp3 or ogg?

Thanks for the help
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jskolm:
\system\customize\resource\VZW_Droid.mp3

Just rename whatever sounds you want to the above and it works great.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Deyez:
Indeed. Thanks for the info.

Been a fun ride the last few days. Lurked these boards ever since the Incredible came out. Awesome community! Went full root for the first time just a few days ago when the RUU emerged. Now custom roms, kernals, etc...complete addict now. Regret not rooting long ago. ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TCommander:
I read from page 16 where this is posted to the end at the time which was page 23. I did not see these questions answered anywhere. I was specifically interested in #2 and #3.

To the OP...

1) Swype you had to get in on the public beta a few weeks back. There is likely a work around someone here can tell you. Swiftkey and the like can be found in the market.

4) Load home switcher from the market.. It lets you switch launchers.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Amin Sabet:

>>•Streaming audio fixes. Google fixed actually fixed the stagefright libraries with a commit to AOSP and adrynalyne provided a build for everyone. All credit goes to adrynalyne for compiling this.

This rom is great!!!

Has anyone had an issue fixing permissions with ROM Manager? I've tried installing busybox from the busybox installer, but it tells me that my phone is not nand unlocked. I have S-Off, so I'm not sure how that could be?

Also, I've tried pushing busybox manually from adb to /system/bin and /system/xbin, and verified that those files exist with Astro, but fix permissions still fails with a "An error occured while attempting to run privileged commands!"

Anything else I could be missing?

Very slow audio in flash videos

I'm getting very slow audio in flash videos. Is this the streaming audio issue everybody talks about? The video plays at the correct speed, but the audio is just soooo slow. Anyone know a fix? I assume it's only a problem with flash videos because streaming audio is fine from Pandora and other things like.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fader01:
I read somewhere that it is a flash problem and not specific to this rom or any rom.

battery addiction

My battery life has been amazing on Virtuous 3.0.1 w/ custom kernel. I have the 2150mah battery and am using the 7.28 radio.

The other day I had all syncs on, Facebook & Twitter (Htc sense), gmail, news sync, weather (every hour), lots of widgets, backup assistant, basically the works and I got an entire day (20 hours of up time) and about 4 hours of awake time and was still at 30%. I think by the time I actually had to charge, i had gotten over 30 hours of up time. Usually I can correspond my battery % with this scale w/ the 2150mah battery: 6 hours of USE TIME. It's weird how accurate it is. If my Use time is 3 hours, i'm usually around 50% every time, or 5 hours i'm at 15-20%.

I've found that the biggest drain to battery life is MY OBSESSION WITH BATTERY LIFE. Once I realized I was addicted to checking every setting, counting every percentage notch, and just chilled out about it, I used my phone about half as much and thus DOUBLED my battery life :)

Just 2 cents from a recovering Battery addict :o
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jiggadroid:
Only reason I like it is because it will sync my albums from picassa if the Htc gallery can do this, please let me know.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wryun:
This makes a lot of sense. I am going to stop worrying about battery life so I don't drain it by checking all of the time. LOL

Thanks for the tip! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] terrencegf:
Same here. Voice command "note to self..." sent an email to my Gmail account, and put it in the "Drafts" folder. Weird, and not particularly useful IMO. Might as well send a real email.

Wondering if anyone else is having issues with SMS's (normal texts come fine) when using Handcent? I'm on 3.0.1, Custom Kernal by Adrynalyne and Revolution Theme. I had been having some problems with Sense FC'n on me, so I did a complete wipe, restored apps only, and I still can't get SMS's. Turns out something with Handcent is causing FC's with the .sms process...... If Handcent is installed, I can't download pics, but if I uninstall it, they come through just fine.... Whatever was causing Sense to FC is fixed now, after formatting..... Just wondering what might be causing the conflict with Handcent.......
