can we get an option in virtuous buddy to toggle friendstream and htc music player?

more simply put, can we get the toggle option for anything that can be safely disabled?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Casbah:
It's been addressed before in this topic. In ROM Manager under Virtuous you now have 2 options, one Flash that's market updatable and one that is modded for Hulu.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Danariel:

Since mostly bugs are whats reported in the ROM threads, I just wanted to take the time to tell the OP...... Damn fine build.... I've flashed every ROM available and this by far is what I consider the most stable and appealing to my liking.

GREAT JOB!!!

Gmail

RMK, One of the new features on the gmail app is "message actions will now stick to the top of the screen" when scrolling on long messages. however this does not happen on virtuous 3.0.1. i am not sure if this is a google problem or rom problem. my wife has a droid x running 2.2. and the gmail application does have that feature. Other than this minor bug, the rom is functioning perfect for me.

thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] larsrya8:
It's a known issue with Sense ROMs (scroll to bottom of post).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] n99hockey:
Have the same issue, but I just figured it was a Gmail problem.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] billybob275:
Occasionally this happens to me, mostly if I had gps off, do a navigation search then be directed the settings page to turn it on. I always just press back and run the search again, it always works the second time.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] larsrya8:
Try this:

Download the GPS Status app (free). Hit Menu button, choose Settings. Go into GPS & Sensors, Manage A-GPS state. Hit the Reset button, and then hit the Download button. Should fix slow GPS lock.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phoenixs4r:
No matter what rom I try, I end up coming back to this one. I am curious tho, when I run auto brightness, it never seems to get very dark even when it's a dark room. While I was running cm6 the screen dimmed all the way, in virtuous it doesn't. Is that just a character trait of the rom, or did i mess something up?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fliptwister:
I'm loving 3.0.1. I have been running Virtuous since 2.4 and this is the best version yet. Thanks RMK!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] todd3835:
I had some problems with a slow lock in the past, and noticed that if you use "VZW Location Services" full time, it locks much quicker, usually 10-20 seconds. This is because your device already has a general idea of where it is, and needs much less satellite tracking to find it's first fix. For a first fix, it technically only needs 2 satellite's, but usually needs 3-5. With the A-GPS, it cuts this down to 2-3, because it already has a pretty good starting point already. I'm sure using VZW location services full time will drain your battery more, but to me, that's a tradeoff of being able to get near-instant fixes. Typically, by time I input the address I want to go to, my GPS is locked and loaded!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] todd3835:
Well that's odd. I thought it ran as long as it was on? So your saying that I could leave it on full time and it wouldn't affect battery life? Because on stock 2.1, I'm pretty sure it affected battery life, because I was chewing through my battery, and when I found the widget (Inc is my first android phone), and started toggling it off, it was much much better on battery life.....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dbu:
+1 on this. Auto brightness has never seemed to work for me on this ROM.

Okay so I downloaded the modified hulu business off Rom Manager but it keeps telling me hulu is not supported on my device. Any ideas?

Sent from my ADR6300
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bikercr:
I don't have the same problem with this ROM, but there's an easy fix. Adjust screen brightness using Android Power widget. It sets it up in fixed steps: low, medium, high. This also stops the light sensor hunting for the right level in certain lighting environments causing screen flicker. When you want to go back to auto, use Auto Bright--a free app on Market. It works flawlessly with a simple tap on the icon.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ff4930:
This happens to me too. Anyone have a fix for this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Nic2112:
I really love this ROM as well. Of course I would love to get the new sense UI but I'd rather have a stable ROM like Virtuous where very minute things glitch than having the very cutting edge ROM where things are broken left and right.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crackers8199:
also, after toggling vvm off the voice mail icon still shows up (and clicking on it just opens messages)...is there a way to get rid of the icon? i'm talking in the app drawer, not a home screen shortcut...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
Auto-brightness just doesn't get that dim on the stock ROM. CyanogenMod lets you do lots of tweaks to auto-bright that let it get dimmer very easily.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] michaelagraham:
So after downloading the latest hulu / flash package via rom manager, Launcher Pro and Swype are completely broken for me. If I try to re-install either of these apps, it warns me that they are already installed and then the re-install fails. Swype is no longer an option in the keyboard settings.

Seems odd that a flash / hulu update would cause the problems I am experiencing; may I ended up "broken" for some other reason. Am I the only one?

Not a complaint by any means, just wondering if this happened to anybody else.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dominicano2430:
Flash & hulu

Yes I know, im talking about the option that is hulu modded, hulu isn't working with it
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dominicano2430:
I think that flash wasn't modified correctly or hulu closed the holes that allowed it to be viewed on android

Hey RMK, not sure if my post got lost in here, but enjoy a beer on me for an awesome ROM :D. (yay paypal)

Kernals

I am wondering anyone is trying different Kernels with this ROM, I've tried the one that Adrynalyn made specifically for this ROM and my battery life was not great. In fact, it was pretty bad. I went back to HydraKernals http://hydrakernel.net/kernels/hydra_ocuv2_v10_signed.zip 1.13 OC Kernel and now I'm getting great battery life again. I'm wondering if anyone has played with or installed other Kernels and has had better battery life as well?

Maybe it's just my phone. I truly don't know. :confused:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Thanks, appreciate it. :)

Wow not sure what the audio patch would have to do with either of those. Quite honestly it sounds like something else changed and caused that.

I'm having trouble reproducing everyone's issues with the Hulu version of the audio patch. I installed 3.0.1 with the Hulu option and complete wipe last night and it worked right away. Are all of you using the small Hulu app to browse the site?

I installed 3.0.1 upgrade from 2.7 with no wipe and then the Hulu modified flash and audio and trying both hulu app and hulu on browser and none of them work
[Droid Incredible Android Development] michaelagraham:
Hehe.. I hear you, I was surprised as well. My phone was connected to my laptop charging, I saw the tweet about the new hulu patch, I downloaded and applied it, and then when my phone came back up bye bye launcher pro (and my precious pure messenger and swype.. bwah). Maybe applying an update while connected to a PC is a no-no? Anyhow, no big deal to restore and thanks a ton for a great rom.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
I updated the Hulu/Flash patch last night. Make sure you are running that version. If you're not sure just apply it again via ROM Manager.

If you still have issues after doing so, let me know. I'll need specifics about what you are doing and any errors you are seeing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Staticaxe:
Same issue with Swype. After upgrading from 2.7 (no wipe) Swype is a goner. Says "application wil replace an application that is already installed" but Swype is nowhere to be found. Disappeared as an option in Language & Keyboard.

Help!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bobby janow:
I wasn't great life with Adrynalyn's either so I went to the V stock. Still not great. I loaded Kings #5, no OC, and will see in a day or so. You really get great stats with Hydra above? How long have you been using it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dominicano2430:
When I try to start hulu, it says your platform is not supported

Is this via the Hulu app? And are you sure you are using the second version of the patch?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] JeeperDon:
Yes, Swype is finicky. I tend to uninstall it only (not the installer) before Rom Mgr type upgrades, then just run "Swype Installer" after. If you play with it, you should be able to get both uninstalled then just start over. With some upgrades, I found Swype still popped up as a keyboard, but the swype action didn't work. It's very picky on changes, but it's great, so I just cope.

Before the update everything loaded up fine, just the audio was crazy. I just ran the update and the audio is fine but after the first ad plays the actual video won't load up, it just sits on a black screen with the hulu logo in one corner and the tv stations logo in the other.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bobby janow:
Known bug. You need to select text input and then go back to Swype again and it will work. Crazy they released a version with such a major bug.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scope666:

Okay, so I reinstalled the updated patch and now what it does is it starts but once the commercials are over it stops. this happens in both the Hulu app and browser

Anyone have a problem with wifi dropping out when on bluetooth? It will stay on for about a minute, then completely shut off. Not just losing signal, but turning off completely.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cincybearcatfan:
I've used it since I rooted the beginning of August on all of the different ROMs I've flashed (and I've flashed most of them). For me, the kernal I listed has ALWAYS gotten me the best battery life regardless of ROM. I wanted to give the kernal Adrynalyn had built for the ROM a shot. I really like what he does and think he's very talented. I used it for more than a week and while it gave me decent results, it paled in comparason to the Hydrakernal for me. With the kernel that was built for this ROM I have to put my phone on charger by the end of the buisness day (usually less than 25% left). Currently, with the Hydrakernel, I have 51% left with 8:37 up time and 2:21 of awake time.

Will anyone else see these results? I really don't know. Seems there is little standard about these phones. Between user habits, apps, rom builds, hardware anomolaies, etc. all we can be certain of is Android is flexible enough to allow us to make our phones what we want them to be.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Casbah:
One thing about uptimes I've seen is that it doesn't change our reset if you plug the phone in to charge. The uptime keeps counting.

Makes one wonder.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] anicotra:
Im at 9 hours off the charger. A good 4+ hours streaming slacker over 3g, and lots of lurking on xda. 45% left on the battery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OSully:
I've been using the custom kernel. I have tried hydra #1 and #3, and all of the kingklick kernels except #5 BFS. With hydra and kingklick my battery life was terrible. I was lucky to make it 9 hours without draining the battery down to 20% or less. I've maintained 70% or better in that timeframe with adrynalyne's custom kernel without bump charging. It might be because I'm not overclocking now, who knows. I've found my phone has actually run BETTER without overclocking. I get the feeling everyone just gets different results.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dalepl:
I just tried the new patch via Rom Manager and Hulu will still not work. I get the following message:

Sorry, this video is currently unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Note: If this message appears repeatedly, you may need to clear your browser cache and restart your browser.

This message was received in the Hulu app. I did the patch and got this message, so I restarted my Dinc and tried again, but still get this message. Also get this message via my browser, but not in my PC browser.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jumbotron:
Hulu patch v2 works, make sure you don't have anything like FMRadio or anything that streams audio toggled off in VB. Just tested it after messing with four ver. of flash.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pures:
I somehow got HULU to work last night too. Make sure you've toggled the original flash off via VirtBuddy. Then I installed the second patch one I believe. Just the hulu file via astro. To be honest, I did so many combinations of files, I don't really know how I got it to work. But I am using the lastest flash, the one that ends in .95.

At first the audio didn't work, but I uninstalled and reinstalled the patched flash and it all works now. Sorry I can't be more help.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Let's take another stab at this Hulu/Flash patch. I need a few people who can nandroid backup, test this patch and report results:

http://bit.ly/9S2RHk

I tested it several times myself but wasn't able to reproduce the problem before either, so I need folks who couldn't get it working previously to try this version. I'm fairly confident it's going to work.

EDIT: It'll take about 2-3 min for Hulu to appear after the first boot with the patch.

Can someone who uses the Hulu patch advise what the "trade off" is? To get Hulu using the 3rd revised patch, what will we lose? Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dalepl:
Well, I too have finally gotten Hulu to work. I went into Titanium Backup and uninstalled Flash from there. Before doing that, I selected wipe data. I then went into Rom Manager and loaded the patch and Hulu again. This time it worked and no scarey voices. I do have to note that if i go out and back into Hulu, it says the video is nat available the first time, but selecting a different one it seems to run it fine.

Will keep my eye on it to see if it is in deed going to continue to work.

Hulu sound

It's working for me now after a data wipe, clean install of full 3.0.1(Stock kernel, hulu modified flash options), and then application of v3 of the audio fix from Rom Manager.

After the data wipe and clean install of 3.0.1 I tried Hulu. Sound was working fine now, but after the 2nd ad finished the video would not start. So, I went and grabbed audio fix v3 and tried Hulu again.....Success!

Any way to go from 2.6 to the latest without having to re-setup home screens and etc?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
All you lose is the ability to upgrade Flash from the market. Granted, the modded version is the latest right now. So if/when an update comes out in the future, either the mod needs to be updated or you need to uninstall this version of Flash to use any newer version.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] terpsarlington:
works for me

This one works for me. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shamidude:
I installed the V3 patch using the ROM Manager, and now everything works fine:

- I can use Flash on regular sites (i.e. ComedyCentral) without the slowww audio.

- I can use Hulu without the "not supported" problem.

I have to add that the patch didn't work right away for me. When I installed it the first time using the "Hulu" option, then it looked as if Flash was not properly installed (the browser shows a lego box instead of the Flash content). So I tried applying the non-Hulu version of the patch (and verified that "comedy central" worked), then I tried the Hulu version again.

Thanks for the hard work, I REALLY REALLY like this ROM...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
It's really just a matter of waiting a few minutes for the system to settle after first applying the patch. The reason for this is that the Flash and Hulu packages are installed as part of "bootcomplete", which isn't executed until all your startup items are launched.

So after you guys install the patch, give your phone 5-10 min (for good measure) to get everything installed before you test it.

I'm about to redo the other standard audio fix and flash installer to work the same way as this one, so it'll be installed in /data/app. It's a stock app so i really wanted it in /system/app but for whatever reason it doesn't play nice unless it's installed via pm (package manager). So it's being moved for technical reasons as opposed to preference.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] WhammyDroid:
RMK, any thoughts of adding other removal options to Virtuous Buddy?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jumbotron:
RMK, re-enabling FMRadio toggle had nothing to do with it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Yep, I can definitely add more, just haven't had a chance to do it. As was already suggested, I'll add options for removing anything which can safely be removed. Friendstream actually isn't one of them since it breaks general synchronization.

Nope, should have absolutely no impact.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crackers8199:
Yeah, but it can be safely removed if you're careful and turn off all sync options before removing it (I know, because I've done it).

Any chance you can add the toggle option for it with a note that it will break things if you don't disable all sync options before doing it? I'd love to be able to make that, the HTC music player and Mail.apk persist thru updates...I believe those are the only three things I've got disabled which don't have options in Buddy.

Anyway, awesome job overall. I updated from 2.7 to 3.0.1 last night without a wipe, and no issues so far...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jumbotron:
Hulu was the last of the equation...it's been awesome otherwise. Been extremely impressed ever since v2.5 and am eve grateful for your hard work rmk40.

Trouble with 3.0.1

After installing the ROM on top of 2.7, neither Touchdown nor Swype work. I tried to reinstall both programs and it fails. I tried to uninstall the old versions, but neither show up in "Uninstaller" or in the Android "Applications" section.

How do I fix?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wryun:
BTW, tried the new Uncommon Sense ROM ... meh.

I played around with it for about 15 mins and then restored my ROM backup with Virtuous loaded on it.

Thanks again for an amazing ROM!

Virtuous FTW!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
I'm fairly sure I can help with this but before we go into making changes I'd like to understand what's happening. Can you run "adb logcat *:E", attempt to install Touchdown and Swype then copy and paste the output of errors to pastebin.com?

We'll go from there.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Stockmoose16:
I don't know how to do any of that. I just install using ROM Manager. As previous users have stated (re: Swype), the phone recognizes that it has been previously installed and says it will "save the data." But then when you go to install, it fails.

Tried uninstalling the previous version, but it's nowhere to be found... and of course I didn't do a nandroid backup.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
OK, there's a free app on the market to help with this:

http://www.appbrain.com/app/alogcat--logcat-application/org.jtb.alogcat

Install that. Go to Menu, Preference, set "Level" to "Error". Then, try to install Swype and Touchdown. Go back into aLogcat and Menu, Send via email to virtuousrom@gmail.com.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Stockmoose16:
Ok, after installing the program, I was able to get touchdown to install from the market, but I still can't get Swype to install. I just sent you the log from the program you suggested. Let me know what to do.
