Please say you are making a joke, a really really bad joke.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] larsrya8:
Since these apps will be put in /data/apps, which is where the Market installs apps, this won't be a problem.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Picao:
That would work best as we could use one app to remove all the stuff we don't want. Just my 2cents worth.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crookedmarc:
anyone having an issue with the market being super slow? That's the one thing that pulled me off the rom in the first place. I'm sorry if someone else already posted this...it's hard to read through all 8o something pages lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] larsrya8:
Market issues are Google's fault. This ROM uses the stock Market app.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] stroupified:
I'm having an issue with the 3g on virtuous 2.7. I turn it on and the 3g icon flashes for a sec then dissappears and i have no data, i can do wifi and 3g works in 2.6 but i don't know why it's not working for 2.7. it also doesn't work in the redemption roms. is anyone else having this problem?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] stickstickly:
ROM is awesome. The best and so stable. Just wondering,

I am not sure if I ever had 720p recording but now I don't.

I flashed the Evo camera apk

but i didn't like it so i flashed he Inc one back (from RM)

and no 720p? :s

wondering why
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crookedmarc:
That's not totally true. When I run stock froyo, my market loads just fine. It was taking over a min. to load each market page any that just doesn't seem normal. It was an annoyingly noticeable difference...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
It's a good question and an area which is much improved in 3.0.0. I've completely changed the way apps are being handled in /data/app. Rather than simply being copied, my scripts are now calling Package Manager (pm) to install the APKs designated to be placed there. If, however, you already have that particular application installed (any version of it), Virtuous will ignore it for good and not install its own copy.

This is fair superior to the previous model which was prone to error like what you were describing. Now, there will be no difference between an app Virtuous installed in /data/app for you, versus you having installed it yourself, since both methods are using the Package Manager. Further, the model with the Market actually supports upgrading apps in /system/app as well. So long as the prior and new versions of said application are signed by the same certificate (which they are if the APK is not modified), then Android is smart enough to install the new version in /data/app and use it over the copy in /system/app. That failed with Gmail because we had modified it. Gmail 2.3 in Virtuous 3.0.0 is NOT modified in any way, nor is Voice Search, so you'll be able to upgrade them without a ROM release as soon as Google makes even newer versions available.

I'm going to put up a blog post about this very topic because I have no doubt many others are concerned about the exact same occurrence. I was conscious of it myself and wanted to get it all working right, so it does with the next release of the ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
One thing I wanted to point out. Once 3.0 is made available, all the EZ-Customizer options for removing/installing stock apps will be removed. Virtuous Buddy will be

THE

tool to use for enabling/disabling stock apps. Having these options available in two different places is confusing to users and pointless additional work/maintenance for me.

EZ-Customzer will still be used for any framework changes or downloads of new goodies such as the Evo MMS/Camera apps. Basically anything which can't be accomplished outside of recovery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] suttonn:
Yeah, I'm also having issues with the 3G. The problem just started today. Luckily I live at a university so there is wireless everywhere.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ScootrNova:
I cannot wait for v3.0 rmk40! Can't wait to give my phone a good wipe and workover with your awesome ROM.

I feel bad for all those other users that are stuck with Verizon's bloat.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jumbotron:
Awe shoot...

Sorry, piss poor. My apologies to all.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Amin Sabet:
I found this on another forum. If you want to revert the devil voice fix to get m.youtube working again, it's very easy to do. Use Root Explorer to edit the last line of /system/build.prop

Change this:

media.stagefright.enable-http=false

to:

media.stagefright.enable-http=true

I'm glad to have my m.youtube working again, and the devil voice problem doesn't pop up often at all.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
Excellent! I was one of the users you mentioned. Looking forward to stepping up!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
This sounds awesome. 3.0 sounds like it's shaping up to be an awesome ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Whiteout:
Hey gang. I finally, after months of reading, took the plunge last night and rooted. I have S-off and upgraded my radio to 2.15. My first rom was Virtuous 2.7 and everything went well. I understand there is a problem with gmail, but I thought I understood that it was a newer version on the market. I backed up all my contacts via Google and the Verizon Backup assistant. I had to create a new gmail accnt. to get access to the market and for some reason the Backup is not connecting to verizon. I just tried to pull them up on verizons website and it just sits there with the refresh sign rolling. Does anyone have any suggestions? Am I just gonna have to find all my contacts and enter them manually? Thanks for any advice and thanks for making the rooting process so easy to understand.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spjoneser:
Don't understand why you had to create a new google account and not just log in with your existing but what you could do is via pc log into your old gmail and export your contacts and then log into your new gmail and import? The phone should then sync them up auto no problem?

No need to bother with verizon.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] edogger:
Is there any other way to do this without Root Explorer... I don't have it and I'm having an issue buying items from the store from UK... I think it's a discover card thing I need to sort out...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spjoneser:
Use adb to pull out the build.prop file and change it then push it back. Or just wait for 3.0. This will most likely be one of the items that can be toggled on and off in Buddy!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Yes, it will be. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mothy:
Anyway you could incorporate some the the Desire HD system dump in to the 3.0 build?

Awesome job, loving 2.7
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
I was looking at it last night and it does really look great. It's not possible to incorporate parts, as the entire framework is different. Though, at some point, it is supposed to be coming to our device. When it does (and is stable), Virtuous will be re-based off it. But it's definitely too early to do so now, as a lot of components simply are not working yet or are missing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crackers8199:
rmk - are we going to be able to remove / re-add icons to the status bar from buddy in 3.0?

is it possible we could get the ability to remove each icon individually? i'd really love to be able to just get rid of the battery (in addition to the location icon which is already removed by default) but there isn't an option to do just that...i'd have to remove the clock or alarm too, which i don't want to do.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Whiteout:
Sorry I wasn't very clear on that part. I can not log into my gmail with my original login. Won't let me do it on my computer either. That's why I created another account, which I thought was odd when I used the same name as the first and it didn't recognize there was already an active account using my name. Would it do any good to revert back to my original sense 2.1 and try to find a way to make sure my contacts would be accessible after going back to Virtuous?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mothy:
Thanks rmk. I just tried out the HD rom and its cool but some apps just dont work, google voice being the biggest (for me anyway) so Im coming back to Virtuous!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spjoneser:
I would focus my effort into retrieving my original login info. But don't think it really has anything to do with the ROM so maybe move this to general Q&A?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dbu:
Not really sure if this is a ROM issue but since I am using this one I have a question. My reception has been horrible and I an trying to figure out why. I came from a d1 and always had full bars here at work even in the basement, but now with my dinc running this ROM I am lucky to have 1 or 2 bars. I just checked my battery usage and cell standby says I have been without signal for 32% of the time. I have tried updating my PRL but that didn't seem to do anything. Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JoeyBert:
Anyone have trouble updating gmail and flash from the market on this ROM? I was unable to do so with SkyRaider?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] vkennedy:
You obviously are not reading or searching within this forum. At a minimum you could have the courtesy to do that before you ask a question that's been beaten to death.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] WebDev28:
Skyraider has a patch on Rom manager. Just flash it and you will have gmail 2.3 or you can uninstall gmail with titanium, restart your phone and install from market.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] INTREPID-NY:
You shouldn't need to use Verizon Backup Asst. See here for instructions on backing up contacts with google/gmail, syncing contacts with google, turning off Backup Asst, and converting phone contacts to google contacts:

Contacts Guide: http://androidforums.com/incredible-tips-tricks/172269-how-disable-backup-assistant.html

This will also explain the difference between phone contacts and google contacts.

Before

you do anything with your phone, immediately login to gmail.com using your PC or Mac (not your phone). All contacts should be at www.gmail.com While at www.gmail.com using your PC, go to Contacts and be sure to export your contacts to a file as a backup: More Actions, Export, All Contacts, Google CSV format. Save the file on your PC and be sure to date the file for future reference. You should make this backup on a regular basis.

Finally, you should never need to create a new google account. Please explain in detail what happened when you tried to login with your original google account at www.gmail.com using your PC and when using this account on your phone.

Any timeline on the official 3.0 release?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] TheR1Rob:
Does anyone know about the multimedia message problems?

I've noticed I do not receive mms when my phone is idle. But if my phone is being used while a mms is sent, they will come through.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ty07allstar:
Will 3.0 be a wipe or just a flash update?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] INTREPID-NY:
You NEVER have to wipe to update a Virtuous ROM unless rmk40 specifically announces it's required. I don't know if rmk40 has said if 3.0 will be full install or a patch, not that it matters.

Since we're on the subject of wiping, I personally would not update my ROM if I had to wipe. I have my phone setup just so and have zero desire to redo everything unless absolutely necessary and then only on a rainy Sunday. Others love to wipe apparently and that's just fine. I dread it. Why people wipe every time they update their Virtuous ROM baffles me. But to each his own.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Wipe. Apps are moving from /data to /system, so there has to be a wipe.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] INTREPID-NY:
I disagree.

rmk40 - what's the word?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JoeyBert:
Will any of the add-ons in ROM Manager work with this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765930 ?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Negative, no wipe. The ROM installation scripts will take care of all the changes. If you want to wipe, that's fine but you don't have to.

EDIT: Wanted to add that not only do I plan for and test upgrades without a wipe, so does everyone in the beta test group. We validate clean installs and upgrades. In fact, the only major issue we discovered and resolved during this round of testing only occurred during an upgrade. I fixed the issue and we re-tested to make sure it worked. Point is, it's really easy to tell you guys to wipe but a lot of time is spent making sure you guys don't waste yours by having to reconfigure everything.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Most of them will but no guarantees.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
OMG! Haha, and here I was thinking I would have to wipe xD lol, sorry you guys!

@rmk I really appreciate the work you do. I used be a "chronic flasher" that flashed AOSP, Sense, pretty much everything except for Virtuous. I somehow picked up this adversion to stock, but after my girl got super angry for all the time my phone was off, I decided stability was most important. And along comes Virtuous :D super stable and stock is quite awesome :D

Just wanted to say thanks :]

Solved my flashing addiction but still gave me the stability I needed :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spjoneser:
I was thinking that I should wipe this time only because I have manipulated so much myself and would like to start clean and make changes to the rom that are provided in buddy. Plus I've been spoiled lately using this rom. Might be fun to spend some time setting up again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] catmandu:
I know these were asked for...tried a quick browse through to find the answers but no luck. Any chances we will be seeing a reboot option and/or six signal bar with 3.0?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ty07allstar:
Is the rotary lockscreen the vanilla lockscreen found on the Nexus One and vanilla roms?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] WebDev28:
Hey rmk40. I really appreciate what you have done for us so far. I can't wait for the 3.0 release. But I also can't WAIT when they release the new htc sense for the Incredible. This ROM will look sick with it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
I'm really looking forward to it as well. As long as I am using an Incredible as my primary phone, I'll continue to produce Virtuous for it with the same mission of providing an enhanced stock ROM.

If the Desire port starts becoming stable, I'll consider a building a sister ROM (with a different name) while it matures. However, at no point will Virtuous itself take chances and choose form over function. You guys will always be able to count on an extremely stable ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] INTREPID-NY:

There's a thread with the zip file to flash that adds Reboot to your power switch menu. Very cool. I can upload it later.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mothy:
Any news on release?

Sorry just anxious for the update.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spjoneser:
Most of the mods everyone is asking for are all things that can be added on an individual level. Why not let RMK preserve his original intent of keeping this thing as close to stock while trimming the fat and tweaking for performance? There's absolutely no way to build this for everyone out there's likings.

I look at it as an awesome starting point for whatever else someone might like to do personally!

[Droid Incredible Android Development] todd3835:
@rmk40: I'm looking to try 3.0 as soon as it comes out, and I know you're posting it soon. My question is though, for the next round of beta, are you looking for any more beta testers? I'm a member of RFA (Rom Flashers Anonymous) so I'm ready to test! I tend to have a lot of time on my hands, and I'm usually flashing something every day or 2, so I'd be more than willing to join the ranks!

[Droid Incredible Android Development] danman7:
Does the "no wipe" rule apply to someone coming from something other than Virtuous? SkyRaider 3.0 Vanilla RC3 for example? I'm not opposed to wiping, but if I can avoid it, I will.

I haven't tried any flavor of Virtuous yet, but the more I look at it and read about it, I'm interested in it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] willhill:
Downloading now! There goes all hope of me accomplishing anything at work today...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
If you're coming from another Sense ROM, you might be able to get away without wiping. If you experience any weirdness or instability though, that's the first thing to do.

Skipping a wipe coming from an AOSP or Hybrid ROM isn't a good idea.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TDRohn:
Do we need to wipe coming from 2.7?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] smtrekkers:
After installing 3.0, I somehow lost several of my Google Apps (Google Finance, Goggles, Voice and Earth). Not sure how to get them back. Tried installing from the market, they show as available to install, but install failed as unsuccessful. Tried poking through Virtuous Buddy to find a toggle / install option there - no luck. Tried re-booting also.

Probably something obvious, but I just can't find it. Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] margelef:
So far, only quirk I've seen is that the 3D Gallery, which I had previously installed using ROM Manager, got wiped out after the upgrade.

I tried to re-install it from ROM Manager, the phone rebooted to do the install, but 3D Gallery is not installed. Not sure if it's a problem w/ the 3D Gallery itself or just a problem w/ the way the Goodies section of the ROM Manager is trying to do the install.

Looks like 3.0 is out. The thread title and front page has been updated (download links now point to 3.0)

I'm downloading and installing it now.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] PhillyCheez:
First, Thanks rmk for getting 3.0 out! Once i have enough time i will go back to it.

I upgraded (no wipe) from 2.7 to 3.0. I lost everything that i downloaded from ROM manager and also things like sexyrosie mod and rotary lock screen. instead of going through my apps and figuring out what im missing i decided when i have enough time im just gonna wipe and start from scratch.

Thanks for the update though! i will probably get around to it next week.

just my .02 cents... with things like Virtuous buddy, ROM manager and titanium backup i wouldn't waste your time on the "headache" us fans have to go through by setting it up due to wiping. i'd just focus your energy on making great stable ROMs. With those three apps it takes a less than 15 minutes to get it back up the way we like it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OSully:
This is a ROM, not a theme. Of course you're going to lose all your customization.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] syrguy1969:
RKM....just wondering if the new Sense ROM released recently is something worth looking at for your (hopeful) New Sense version or Virtuous?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=790066

I am very much looking forward to the new Sense as it has a few features I have been craving even before I started using Sense, but I am very happy with Virtuous and have no intentions of jumping ship when I know you will have a very stable version of it when you decide it is ready!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Amin Sabet:
Anyone using 2.x Virtuous does not need to wipe before installing 3.0. Anyone using anything besides 2.x Virtuous should wipe.

I personally always wipe. I know rmk and the beta testers do a thorough job, but no one is perfect, so I feel better knowing I wiped.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jiggadroid:
Everything looking good for the most part so far. Anyone get the Google 3D gallery to show up? The HTC 1 is fine, but I had the picasa 1 as well and when i isntalled it disappeared (i didn't wipe coming from 2.7). I then tried installing by downloading from clockwork and it said install complete, when phone rebooted, nada.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] deathwish288:
Figured out to make google Voice and 3d Gallery to work you need to first go into Manage application (under setttings > applications > manager applications > ALL) and uninstall the following.

com.google.android.apps.google.voice

com.google.android.apps.3dgallery

after you are done

you can install google Voice from (using a Astro or other file manager)

/system/virtuous/app.user

and 3dgallery from rom manager.

Looking forward to trying out V3 after a nandroid in a few RMK!
