Thx for all the work on this enjoy your beers! :cool:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmoney:
Rom manager support is very welcome. Any chance of updating the smooth sense mod to keep transparency in the notification shade as part of some optional goodies?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Triumph23:
Flash/Hulu question.

I removed the Flash app that was on 2.5 and installed a file I used for SR2.5.1 called install_huluflash_player.apk along with the Hulu app.

Hulu app now works in portrait mode with normal audio, but when I go to landscape it opens with half the video frame not visible. Also, nothing in the flash showcase application works in V2.5 when it all worked on SR2.5.1.

Are these not the correct files and is it possible to get everything working for Flash with Virtuous 2.5?

Thanks

Overall...LOVE the ROM!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smw420:
Upgraded from 2.3 to 2.5 and when I tried to upgrade Gmail to 2.2.1 it started to install and then failed. I had 2.2.1 installed before the upgrade if that means anything.

I'll roll back until ya'll tell me the coast is clear. Best ROM to date! Thx!

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Yadao:
This ROM definitely puts the cherry on top our Incredible Froyo goodness.

Keep up the great work!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] netw0rks:
1.) How do i remove the transparency on the pull-down notification bar?

2.) How do i restore the location icon to the notification area?

This ROM is awesome but i would like my theme to be truly stock.

Thanks in advance!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Definitely. This is part of why I am encouraging folks to start using ROM Manager. I'm planning to provide all the addons/mods which work seamlessly with Virtuous as options within our section.

Smooth Sense is absolutely on my list once it get's updated to use the final framework. Of course, I have been and will continue to ask the mod maintainers for their permission before doing so. pardonmyfreedom's status bar mods will be the first to become available, which will show up in just a bit.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Not a problem. Simply do the following via adb:

Launch adb shell

rm /system/framework/services.jar

busybox cp /system/virtuous/framework/services.jar /system/framework

chmod 644 /system/framework/services.jar

You can also do this with Root Explorer if you have it.

EDIT: Come to think of it, I will add returning to 100% stock as an option via ROM Manager for other folks who want to do the same.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Very odd. I tested that very upgrade path and it worked fine. Maybe give it another shot? I'm using 2.5 with Gmail 2.2.1 installed from the link in my OP (make sure it is that exact copy otherwise it will not work).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] md303:
+1

Installation of Radio 2.15 and Virtuous 2.5 went flawlessly. Great ROM!

Next up, KingKlick kernel :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] netw0rks:
Wow... I didn't expect a direct reply to my question from the original dev!

I realized that you copied the unmodified apps to the /system/virtuous/ drectory but not all of the other customizations. This is really useful for people like me who might not want a specific customization.

My favorite part about this ROM is that i can uninstall the bloat or choose to keep what i want via the applications menu :D

You just earned yourself a donation Sir!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Thanks for the logo. I've updated the original post with it! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Yadao:
No problem. Thank YOU for the ROM! lol

If you have any suggestions or want anything changed let me know.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
New sub-section under the Virtuous section for status bar mods. One of them is to return to stock.

Thanks to pardonmyfreedom for ALL the status bar mods. He did all the work and allowed me to make them available to everyone via ROM Manager.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmoney:
I'm psyched on mods in rom manager.

Just installed the hide location and alarm and it removed the transparency but left the checkers in the notification pull down.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
I'll put up a mod to fix that. It's framework-res.apk, which I should have noted was changed to add that feature. I'll provide an option to get it to stock.

This is what's nice about ROM Manager, makes it easy to present these options without entire releases. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
Nice to see you in ROM Manager! Downloaded the latest version last night and I'm looking forward to test-driving it today with the kernal you provided.

Thanks for your hard work!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dixonraj:
A big thanks to rmk40 for all the work you have done to make a great rom!

I just updated from v2.3 to v2.5 and Peep is disabled just like what was said in the post. I went to the Peep.apk to install and it says install unsuccessful. How to I enable Peep?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] n99hockey:
So I went to run Google Nav today and it would get a gps lock. I never ran it while using 2.3 or 2.4 so I don't know if it ever worked.

I also just noticed that it said I should be running my phone with a 2.x baseband, but am running a 1.x baseband, would that be the issue?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] clxa:
videos from youtube (not the app) will not play now. videos would play fine in previous versions of the rom. Any way to fix it? THANKS!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dixonraj:
How do I get my location to show up on HTC Weather app? It did on 2.1 but since 2.2 it just says Current Location. Every once in awhile it shows the city but not very often.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] belkira:
Yes, you will need to update radio to 2.x
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ridl3y:
Any news on the Wiimote bluetooth fix? I know that CM6 has the full bluetooh stack, but I'd rather use this. Please make it happen!

Hulu not working

On version 2.5 now and the Hulu app opens the site, white screen for a while then the window opens but tells me that my platform is not supported. Any ideas on how to get this up and working?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] W4LLY:
Just switched over from my Eris, and rooted my Droid Inc. Figured I'd try this ROM out.

Love it so far, very simple/efficient.

My only problem so far has been when I try and use the Video Camera, it crashes. Is this a known bug, or is it only happening with me?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] terpsarlington:
got hulu working

I got hulu working here is what i did

1) used uninstaller, from market, to uninstall flash 10.1

2) rebooted

3) download the hulu.zip from skyraider 3.0 RC3

4) installed final adobe flash from there using astro file manager. There are three files/apks in this zip (final flash, beta flash, and hulu). I installed the final as this is 10.1.92.8 version.

5) installed hulu.apk

now Hulu works! I hope this helps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Are you running a 2.x radio?

From OP:

Installation:

1. You must be rooted, have nand unlocked and be running a 2.x radio. Follow dadicus' guide for details on how to perform these steps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] W4LLY:
Like I said, coming over from a Droid Eris which was rooted, I never heard of needing a radio, so I apologize. Will that fix the camera?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
It's no problem. Yes, a 2.x radio will fix camera and GPS issues.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CiDirkona:
Has there been a fix for the Yahoo SMTP login issue yet? The yahoo mail app works, but I really prefer the native email handling.

I'm on Virtuous 2.3, downloading 2.5 right now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] W4LLY:
Does this involve me re-rooting the phone? Or is it something I can just flash..?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] intersysx:
I have the same weirdness happening.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:

Rom Manager Settings Force Close

Every time i tap on the settings for Rom Manager i get a force close, anyone else seeing this? otherwise the ROM Manager seems to function just fine.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 762x51:
Awesome job on this ROM, thanks for all the hard work!

Any chance of moving Latitude to data so it can be removed?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adamx:
thanks, got mine working for the first time on this rom. I think I might actually finally have everything working lol.

only problem is hulu playback is a bit too choppy to be enjoyable, you know any way to improve performance? maybe a kernal upgrade?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DeaconBoogie:
Nice work!

I've tried CyanogenMod and SkyRaider 3.0 Sense and Vanilla flavors and I keep coming back to Virtuous! This ROM is stable, flies with KingKlick BFS#2, and is nice and clean for a Sense-based ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] n99hockey:
I tried to follow the instructions on your first page to update my radio but when I get to HBOOT nothing happens, I downloaded the file directed to in the radio update link you posted as well.

Is there something I am missing, when I get to HBOOT and it scans for that file it says something is missing, it goes to fast for me to be able to read the whole thing.

And yes, my phone does say 'S-OFF' while in HBOOT so I am nand unocked.

Please help!

Thank you!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jskolm:
Make sure the SD card is formated as FAT32 and make sure the file name is all caps. It is case sensitive.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] n99hockey:
I downloaded the file exactly as is, it was all in caps. My SD Card is the one that came with the phone, is there a way to check to see if it is FAT32 without a USB cable?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] d213rr:
I am also having this issue. I came from SR 2.5.2 to Virtuous 2.5 and this is the only issue I noticed so far. I wiped the device in between and used titanium to restore apps. Other than this issue, the ROM is great!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CiDirkona:
You may need to do a FULL fat32 format, quick format won't cut it. I had this same issue.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] n99hockey:
Would the phone properly format the card when first installed?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jskolm:
I actually think the phone default format is for FAT. I had to actually reformat mine specifically for FAT32 using my laptop to get it to work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
Hey rmk. First of all thanks a ton for a great ROM. I am running 2.5 with Kings BFS 2 and the hide loc mod. You used to recommend Kings kernel but I don't see it anymore in the 2nd post. Any particular reason you removed it? It did seem to not work well at 1.19 with virtuos 2.4 (endless boot cycle) but was stable at 1.15 so long as you don't set it automatically at boot. Should I be aware of anything else wrt kernels and which one in your experience works nicest with virtuous 2.5? Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bahill:
I just flashed 2.5 over SkyRaider 2.5.2 (Sense) without wiping and everything seems fine. I'll report back if anything pops up, but sf,sg.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thricethesenses:
I just got my boot animation and sound to work by renaming the files from;

bootanimation.zip to VZW_bootanimation (this needs to replace (after back-up) the original file in the /system/customize/resources directory)

android_audio.mp3 to VZW_Droid.mp3 (this needs to replace (after back-up) the original file in the /system/customize/resources directory)

I used Super Manager but you will need a root explorer of your personal choice to be able to copy and paste into the directory after coping the files into your sd card * I havent tried to use ADB at all as im unfamilar with it.

I hope this helps everyone with the Froyo update.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixs4r:
Any one else having issues with YouTube? Can't get it to load on 2.5. No force close or anything, just click the app and goes straight to home screen.

Edit: scratch that, there's something wrong with my phone everything isn't working lol. Thank God for nandroid
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
While the King kernel works just fine, my actual recommendation is to stick with the stock kernel. That is what I am using myself. I'm not sure whether the source HTC released to us is the same as the final kernel build binary.

Now if any of you want to overclock and like using his kernels, there is nothing in Virtuous that would ever prevent you from doing so. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Do you guys want the boot animations re-located the next build? Perhaps in the more standard, non-VZW-specific location in /data?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Not sure what you're referring to -- Latitude isn't included with the ROM. Can you clarify?

Confirmed. Not sure what's wrong but I'll look into fixing this for the next release.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Devildog8791:
That would probably be better since it has been pretty stantard in other roms, but it is fine the way you have it, too. I had no problems changing the bootanimation file and audio.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Devildog8791:
I'm doing fine with the stock kernel. Battery life seems fine and I'm not into the "My phone is faster than your phone" thing. If it works, it's good for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Devildog8791:
Nice simple write-up for people that aren't familiar with where the files are and what to do with them.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] onetimeuse:
This worked without any glitches for me

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/VZW_bootanimation.zip
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixs4r:
I'd like this due to the fact one could go into ihftp's rom manager section and rom manager would be able to install them directly. Saves a step, makes it just a little easier.

Wait, nevermind all u have to do is delete the Verizon one and then install through rom manager eh? Sorry at work, mind is in 4 different places.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] morph2k4:
Love the ROM, I'm on 2.4. Has anyone else noticed that the "Menu > Settings > Security > Set Up Lock Screen > None" setting does not work? Does anyone know of a fix for this? After setting lock screen to none, the normal lock screen still shows, even after a reboot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] onetimeuse:
Interestingly, trying the status bar mod to remove battery and location icons also removes the clock. I had tried the same mod from the Theme section of xda with the same results (not sure if it's the same file and it's an issue with the file, or if it's an issue with my phone).

Anyone else try just the location/battery removal and now missing the clock?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bokajay@gmail.com:
The none setting means no security (password, pin or pattern), not no lock screen.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] n99hockey:
That worked!

Now running 2.15 baseband, and my GPS is working.

You guys rock!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jskolm:
Glad you got it fixed! That's why we are all here, to help each other out!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cantare:
IIRC, default filesystem for your card will depend on size. Bigger cards get FAT32 automatically and never run into these issues... but the 2GB freebies get FAT16 and must be reformatted.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dustbinge:
Battery life back to normal!

+1 :D I am ashamed to admit that I was suffering from Quadrantitis for several days. It was nice to see those incredible scores but my battery life suffered for it. Running SR3 RC3 with BFS2, my Dinc seemed to rarely fully sleep and the battery slowly dropped no matter what I did--I was slowly going insane trying to make it work.

I'm done with custom kernels for now, I just need my phone to last the day like it used to on FrankenRom with Hydra ocuv 3. So far, with light use on the Virtuous stock kernel, I am only down to 91% after 3.25 hours.

Thank you rmk40 for the wonderful job with this ROM and for clearing up my "condition" and giving me my battery life back.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] neyel8r:
wish me luck!

i'm ready to flash this one... i've never done so with a rom before, but frankly, i'm getting sick of the stupid ota update popup!

i've been rooted for awhile already & i've followed the rest of dadicus' guide. i feel pretty confident that everything will turn out alright :)

wish me luck!

edit: without wiping, i flashed. back up & running. all my home screens, settings & apps are unchanged. i didn't even need to restore anything with titanium backup! i had to re-allow a few permissions, but everything seems good so far!

thanks for your awesome work! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wowthatisrandom:
let me first say awesome rom! great work this is pefect with a few apps removed im stoked!

anyway to figure out the EAS workaround so we dont ahve to enter a pw ihtfp69 figured it out and i tried applying his mod but it doesnt seem to work with your rom

So when we gonna have a new animated Virtuous bootlogo with the cool new logo?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] netw0rks:
This procedure does indeed restore the location icon to the status bar and it removes the transparency from the notification bar but it is still the same color just with no transparency and not flat white.

How would i go about restoring that as well?

Thanks in advance!

Moving Icons makes copies

For those who didn't wipe and had existing icons on their screen. Press and hold an icon and move it to another location on the screen. Does it move the icon or make a copy? Mine is making copies if I attempt to move the icon. But for new icons, it moves normally. Also, once a copy is made and it is deleted, the original icon will move normally. So, moving an icon for the first time will make a copy. Weird.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Pretty easy -- if you don't have ROM Manager, grab it from the Market. Head into the Virtuous section, Status Bar Mods and select the Stock option.

Takes about 6-10 min to reboot but once you're back up everything will look totally stock.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
Thanks! I am looking to test out some other kernels too so I will post my results. Hopefully, I wont blow up my inc!

I'm assuming it doesn't based on the OP, but does this include the change to build.prop to increase VM heap size to 32m?

If not, any chance that can be added?

This is with the latest update installed. Sorry I didn't mention that. I tried uninstalling the update and reinstalling. Still no go. So the, note to self and send email voice search features, worked for you with the update? They're the only ones force closing. Anyone else seeing this too?

Thanks a lot rmk40. This is exactly what I was looking for and your instructions are very detailed and easy to follow.

Anyone get wifi tether to work running kings kernel
[Droid Incredible Android Development] supremex3:
A question:

I installed the 8/1 leak- unrevoked forever, updated radio, updated flash, updated all the bugs too, basically updated everything (free wifi, etc.) so the only thing i don't have will be the newer build 3.21.605.1 - Is that the only difference so far? 3.17.605.0 CL220374 release keys is what i have.

I am happy with my phone and all the time i put in to it... i'm contemplating whether or not to install this new "official" build, is it wise to do that? i know i have to format everything.. is there a way to savage what i have installed (all the apps and stuff)?

I really want to install this new build but losing everything is what's holding me back

Need some advice/suggestion -
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
does swype work on this? had used the r2 deodexed with bfs kernel but was forced to go back to stock because swype would not work. i dont like the regular keyboard - very difficult to type on it and for me swype is too critical. can somebody please confirm it either way? thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Matt Devo:
no need to format/wipe data, you can install the "official" OTA leak over any other 2.2 ROM without issue. Obviously you should do a nandroid backup first, just in case, but no issues have been reported yet
[Droid Incredible Android Development] quepaso:
I am using swype on this rom no problem. This is a great rom, using king bfs kernel and really stable with good battery life.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Yes Swype works just fine. I'm going to guess you are a) using the official beta, b) kept your data from your previous ROM. Both are fine but you'll need to re-activate Swype since it is tied to the build fingerprint, which is now reported as the Incredible as opposed to the N1. Remove both Swype and the Swype installer, reinstall and you should be good to go.

Negative. I don't plan to increase the heap size until I see objective testing done which proves it's actually beneficial. Unless you are having apps force close due to lack of memory there's no reason to have an increased heap.

There were extra slashes in the download links added by the forum's editing tools. I've corrected this, so if anyone was having problems downloading before please try again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Having trouble reproducing this one. I just uninstalled the voice search I had going from the market, tried "note to self" and didn't force close.

Can anyone provide me a list of steps on how to break it? As soon as I can have it break for me I'll work on fixing it. In the meantime, anyone having this problem, installing voice search from the market is absolutely the correct recommendation.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] s197:
So they purposely built it so that to get optimum performance out of your battery you need to fully charge your phone, turn off, charge again, then when it turns green, unplug and charge some more? I find that hard to believe.

Not to mention I emailed HTC (as have many others) about this issue and they said they were aware of it and would be addressing it in the next OTA. This was a few months ago.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jasek78:
\

try downloading titanium backup from the market and backing up all the user apps and this way you can restore them to the phone after you update the rom
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dnoyeb:
Looks like they didn't make any modifications to the sound quality on the bluetooth. Still sounds subpar when compared to listening via line. (droid 1 was just as good via bluetooth as it was via the line).
