I loaded the new flash from droidlife write up

http://www.droid-life.com/2010/08/23/download-official-flash-10-1-v10-1-92-8-for-froyo-now/

dont have any flash issues like some others

works great for me on any rom
[Droid Incredible Android Development] anicotra:
That happens to be the same version that came with the 2.0 version of this Rom.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
rmk and I have been working together to try and figure out the "devil voice".

I think we have both spent probably about four + hours on it.

Our conclusion? Its a pretty widespread problem (in whats causing the issue). It requires framework and app replacement, and we haven't found exactly which parts of it specifically are the issue. But its a problem in both, and not specific to the actual flash apk.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jasek78:
think i'll stick with 2.2, i don't really want to have to go in and remove all the crap apps, again.

if it where a substantial update or something like that then it might be worth it but i think this could have been done with a really small zip rather than re installing the entire rom.

wondering if i can just use the sense removal script on this to remove all the crap?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] halcyon_22:
I installed the ROM last night and instantly started messing around with it. Fast, stable, most complete ROM ive used on my inc to date.

However, (and I'm convinced that its partially my phone's fault) the recommended kernels are in some instances not stable. I could not get the latest CFS kernel to work, had to pull battery and nandroid back. The BFS kernel is working great, from there I went to overclock a bit and my phone is only stable up to 1.13Ghz.

Also, may I recommend ROM manger submissions for this piece?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] anothen:
Yes, +1 please with the rom manager submissions!! I love this ROM bc it is stock (i love sense) but changes what I would have done myself!

Also, I've had the exact same issues with different kernels... Only in my instance it was the BFS for some reason. No matter what I did the phone was ridiculously slow and would freeze after 1 minute of the phone being on. Had to nandroid back as well and am using the HTC kernel. I'm also having some crazy battery issues which I can't figure out if it is ROM/Froyo? related. 2 hours off of the charger I'm at 35% with no use! Anyone else?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_flan:
Tried CM6, but didn't like the few bugs it still has... although, the default ringtone on CM6 is awesome, i had to push it here.

I'll be with 2.1, I can delete one file and update google search :p, for a while I think.

What file is the Wifi Hot spot?

Thanks again for putting this out and the work involved, it's exactly what I was hopeful for from a stock rom.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Grizzly420:
Yep no issues
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
With a really small zip eh?

Even the kernel was modified for this.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
So?

Everyone ok with 2.3? Bug free?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
For what it's worth, I spent several hours last night re-installing and wiping, nandroid restoring, etc to test every possible permutation. 2.3 should be the best release I have put out so far.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanmcd72:
possible to remove the clock in the notification bar without undoing anything else (like the transparent pull down)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Yprahs:
Put 2.2 on yesterday and reinstalled all my apps...been golden!!

Thanks soooooo much for all your work!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_flan:
I was going to stay with 2.1, but since you said 2.3 is the best, I upgraded. I like the texture on transparent notification bar!

Went smooth, no wipe, in recovery it flashed very quickly, and the first boot took a few minutes like the OP stated.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] vkennedy:
The ROM is running perfectly for me. I've followed along from 2.0 to 2.3 without a hitch. The devil is with my Flash as well.

I can't thank all of you enough, especially you rmk40, I don't think you sleep. If HTC and/or google isn't watching you, and kissing your butt they should be.

Cheers!

V
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Grizzly420:
Loving it works very well just have to set up WiFi hot spot and I will be good for free of course

Thanks a ton
[Droid Incredible Android Development] vkennedy:
newbie question:

Do custom boot animations for this ROM go into?:

/system/customize/resource

Thanks,

V
[Droid Incredible Android Development] AlpineM3:
Thanks man, I was a bit confused when he said no wipe

Downloading now.....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Thanks, fixed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] INTREPID-NY:
Unofficial Virtuous 3.1 FAQ:

Is 3.1 a patch or a full install? -- A full install

Should I do a backup in Rom Manager First? -- Yes, Absolutely.

Do I need to wipe? -- No, never unless rmk says so or you encounter problems.

Should I select the custom power saving kernel? -- No, It's not recommended at this time.

When I install 3.1, the phone gets stuck on the droid splash screen. -- This is normal - wait patiently.

After I installed 3.1, all my screens were blank / icons missing. -- Wait 10 minutes, then reboot your phone. They will return after the reboot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lazycrazyboi:
Thanks for that info, I wasn't sure which kernel was best. Did anyone ever test to see if the newest radio worked better with this version...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] AlpineM3:
Wait, so I don't need to wipe then? Isn't it always recommended to do so when switching ROM's?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OSully:
I'm going to try to upload a zip to flash in recovery and a metamorph theme that I put together tomorrow. I basically have been stealing pieces from different roms and throwing them together with a few graphic updates as well.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] INTREPID-NY:
Wiping is not needed in almost all cases. I've installed numerous Virtuous Roms without wiping with no problems. The dev rmk has spent a great deal of time specifically designing and testing his Roms so that wiping is not necessary. If you like wiping and reinstalling all your apps and settings, then by all means enjoy yourself. ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] AlpineM3:
Ok, ill give it a shot. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
Is the MMS FC fixed?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Goalieman009:
Should we still use SetCPU if using the new stock kernel?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ozzman54:
Just installed 3.1 and it's running as smooth as butter :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] INTREPID-NY:
No. Turn it off for now. Profiles, uncheck enable. It won't work without a custom kernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] allen2oo3:
just wanted to say thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jakaro:
has anyone tried the inc rev theme? Thanks for including dsp manager!! saves an extra step
[Droid Incredible Android Development] therippa:
Weird, after the update I'm getting a notification telling me "Application data space is low"...any ideas on the fix?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] radiohead14:
just installed.. first thing i noticed is that charging seems to be faster! testing out the battery life on this sucker today. thanks rmk :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zvardan:
Anyone else getting the transparent status bar? mine isn't. According to the notes, it should be.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sd5500:
I also am not getting transparent status bar.

Anyone know if the revolution theme in the virtuous folder in ROM manager is safe to use with 3.1? Also, anything in the goodies floder worth applying?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Todd M:
I downloaded/upgraded via ROM Manager and it stuck in a bootloop when it first fired the phone back up. It FCd on the HTC Sense when it tried to start the phone and kept doing that. I powered it down and powered back on, but it did the same thing. Kept FCing on HTC Sense and trying to reload.

Doing a Nandroid restore back to 3.0.1. Not sure if that means that I have to wipe or not. I can try again later to see if anyone else is seeing the same issues.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JHeal77:
I loaded the latest Virtuous v3.1.0 from ROM Manager last night before going to bed. I opted to use the Stock kernel (v2.6.32.17) first to see how well it performs (from a battery life perspective). So far everything is working flawlessly...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
The new v3.1.0 ROM (with its stock kernel) is running great on my phone so far. Stable and very snappy.

Hopefully this keeps up.

Looking forward to having INCredble REVOlution back again. I'm sure it would mostly work if I tried now, but I'd like to get more confirmation from the community that either a) it is fine as is or b) a few tweaks should be made for this ROM

Edited to add my thanks to rmk for consistently putting out a great product!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zonedguy:
Ditto except my Nandroid restore has now failed as well. Looks like I'm rebuilding from scratch this morning :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jtblalock:
I just updated to the new ROM and it runs very smoothly. Thanks rmk!

I did notice that two instances of my beautiful widgets clock and weather widget opened up. One stayed at 8:07am, but the other continued so I deleted the stuck one.

Also, even after using ROM Manager to try to install the hulu app with the modified flash I can't get the hulu app to show up. Any suggestions on how to get the hulu upp to show? Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] suttonn:
Like someone else I also had double of all of my widgets, so I just deleted the extras.

Just checked, j also have double of all of my icons on the home screens. They sit on top of the other so you don't notice them.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
Yea, looking through my screens, it's actually not just my widgets that were doubled: every item on my screens has a duplicate underneath it.

You can test by dragging a shortcut/widget/etc... if you are experiencing the same thing I was, you will still see it underneath when you start dragging.

I just deleted the duplicates that were sitting on top. No problem running anything from the home screens since I did that. Before I did so, Tasker widgets were not working (not sure if anything else was presenting an issue since I just got rid of the dupes at that point)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BSFL89:
Hey first of all thank you rmk.

Second installed via rom manager had no issues, installed with nandroid back up which completed successfully (no wipe) and then rom installed fine (coming from 3.0.1) also had no issues with duplicate icons/widgets/apps etc

Maybe did the people who got duplicates do a lot with the EZ customizer?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JHeal77:
Same... just noticed that all of my widgets and shortcuts are double-stacked. I've simply deleted the extras and all is good.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
I did the following steps in order:

-Installed new 3.1.0 ROM with stock kernel (was previously running 3.0.1 with Virtuous custom kernel)

-Installed Evo Camera & Evo MMS

-Installed Hulu + Modified Flash

That's it.

In between each step, I booted fully to ensure that things seemed to be working properly. I honestly do not remember at which point I noticed the duplicate icons (since they are not immediately apparent). In any regard, the duplicate icons were no big deal at all: they were a quick thing to fix and I'm glad I didn't have to set up all my screens manually from scratch.

(I'm also not running any custom Launcher apps. I am using WidgetLocker, but the shortcuts/widgets on the WidgetLocker screen were not duplicated like those on the home screens)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dhardison:
Installed over 3.0.1 without wiping. Re-installed Revolution theme and everything's looking good.

One question: does the rotary lock still conflict with the revolution theme? (Virtuous_Rotary_v2.zip )

Thanks rmk.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fortesquieu:
I guess the kernel that comes with 3.1 isn't 2.6.32.17 that was released by rmk a few days earlier?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JHeal77:
According the ROM Manager... The stock kernel included with 3.1.0 is 2.6.32.17.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
http://www.virtuousrom.com/p/change-log.html

--- it is
[Droid Incredible Android Development] craighwk:
Updated without wiping and everything seems to run great! Thanks for the update and great work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fortesquieu:
But how come when you check the software version, it says otherwise?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jumperalex:
Yup same thing here, double icons. The only one that wasn't double was the DSP manager which was added after updating. I went from 3.0.1 mod-kernel to 3.1 mod-kernel to stock kernel. Then I checked and saw the double icons. I can't say for sure but it seems like the home pages swipe a little faster now that I removed the doubles. Could be a plecebo effect too :)

Otherwise totally happy which in my world means everything is generally working the same as before ;-)

EDIT: no wipe FYI
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fliptwister:
I tried updating from 3.0.1 to 3.1 (with wipe) and it did not finish updating. It said it could not find busybox (and listed a directory). I rebooted and it stalled on first HTC white screen. I waited an hour with no change and unplugged. I went into recovery and tried to do a nandroid restore which it did not finish. It stalled when copying files over. I tried another rom (stock froyo root deodexed) and it looks like it does not finish. I do not get any messages and it goes back to recovery menu. When I reboot it now it stalls at white HTC screen. I can still get into recovery.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Any problems with double widgets/icons would be cleared up with a wipe. Saving that, just delete /data/data/com.htc.launcher and reboot, which would reset all home screens to stock and leave everything else in tact. I'll make a Virtuous Buddy option available to reset the homes screen config for anyone who wants to do that.

I do want to point out that issues such as this (minor as it may be) is why most ROM developers ask that you wipe after each install. I obviously don't do that but it should still be something to consider if you're running into issues with pre-existing configuration such as the launcher.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Iamshakes:
Can we add a toggle for dps manager or is it now a required app?

Also virtuous buddy is removing the setup.apk but the setup icon is still appearing in the app drawer.

Otherwise no problems. Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jumperalex:
Not that it matters now that I've deleted the doubles, but for future reference ... is there any reason why restoring a pre-upgrade com.htc.launcher would cause an issue. I hate redoing all my screens, it takes forever, and its probably the single reason I hate doing wipes.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
Great question. I was just about to ask the same thing after rmk's comment

(Also, just want to say thanks to rmk that you work to avoid wipes. It is much appreciated)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ty07allstar:
What is the best way to delete sense from this rom?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] craighwk:
I would imagine you're interested in the wrong ROM. Why would you want to remove Sense from a Sense ROM when there are plenty of vanilla ROMs out there.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ty07allstar:
I really don't like any of the vanilla roms.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Empedox:
So, no vanilla or sense ROMs. Gotcha.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JHeal77:
Mine states:

Kernel version

2.6.32.17-g9a2fc16

htc-kernel@u18000-Build-149 #1

Which matches the change log and Rom Manager...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] stops81:
I'm using sr vanilla but would really like to desense it even more. Best I've come up with is to slowly delete sense apks, but I haven't been able to fully desense.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] stopthebus:
Give this a shot.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_flan:
I've been using the sense removal zip from socalmiles, I think its in the themes forum revolution theme thread. Works great, but I've only tried it up to 3.0.1

..: sent from xda app :..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Todd M:
My nandroid worked and I am back up and running on 3.0.1, but 3.1 failed twice. Kept looping on FC on HTC Sense.

I guess I'll have to wipe to upgrade to it. Not sure why I(we) might have to if so many aren't. I am going to try shutting down setCPU before I reload to see if that's what's causing it. Otherwise, I guess I'll have to wipe.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] anicotra:
Another flawless upgrade.

Went from 3.0.1 stock v4 kernel to 3.1.0. Everything looks and feels good.

Don't see any issue here with double icons.

Great work rmk! Another donation coming your way. Keep up the GREAT work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
Agreed. Just sent my second donation for this month. Totally worth it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fliptwister:
I had to go back to stock non-root Froyo rom, re-root, then install 3.1. I'm very thankful that I had a recent Titanium backup. I have no idea what went wrong...

edit: Spoke to soon...I'm getting a g-mail error and phone is rebooting. Does anyone know where to get 3.0.1? I can not find older versions of roms on Virtuous site.

It's quite possible that you've got a hardware problem.

The battery life is definitely nice on this with the stock kernel. I'm at 11:40 uptime, 1:45 awake and still at 71% on the stock battery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] radiohead14:
quick question.. not sure if this is something i've never noticed with my previous install, but under Applications - i see ">Dialer", is this a modded dialer or just a typo with the ">"?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] earlymorninghours:
I've been using the custom kernel and it seems to have tun support as the VPN Connections app (for Cisco VPN) works. Does this new kernel have that support? I've looked all around but this doesn't seem to be a very popular topic.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ozzman54:
I'm not getting it either. My guess is its part of a theme...but not sure.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crackers8199:
i'm hung on the droid eye after updating...the screen turns off (like it has finished), but sense never came up. turning the screen back on shows the droid eye still sitting there. upgrading from 3.0.1, did not wipe...

this is the same thing that happened to me when i tried to install PMF's mod to remove just location and battery...any ideas? i'm gonna try a battery pull and reboot...if that doesn't work, i guess i'll try a nandroid restore and install w/ wipe. although, i'm curious if anyone has any ideas since this is the second time this has happened to me...

edit: just noticed that PMF replied in the original thread that it can take a long time to boot initially...however what scares me is that on most updates i've done, the droid eye sits there for a while, but then the backlight for the lower buttons come on and the sense desktop comes up, and then the screen turns off. in this case, the backlight has come on for the buttons and the screen turned off, but the desktop still hasn't come up. when i turn the screen back on, it's still sitting at the droid eye...pressing the buttons at the bottom of the screen does nothing.

should i be worried and try starting over, or give it more time? it has been sitting this way for at least 20 minutes or so...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JeeperDon:
How exactly do you delete system files? I can't see them in Astro or via PC. I'd like to delete the htc lockscreen apk to get the android 'left swipe for phone sounds' function.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ozzman54:
Root Explorer will allow you to access and modify/delete any files directly on the phone. You just hit the Mount R/W button to modify files, then hit Mount R/O when you're done. It does cost $4 though (worth every penny in my opinion). It's fast and has a great developer behind it.

Another app that I used before buying Root Explorer was Super Manager which has an option to enable a root explorer. The app is free but I didn't like it. It's one of those 10 in 1 apps that tries to do everything but in the end does nothing that well. I'd say go with this if you only need to modify a system file once in a while, you can install the app, modify the file, then uninstall the app.

Another option is to use ADB shell to get superuser access and set the files to read/write so you can modify them. Although, this means your have to plug into the computer and manually type the commands.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SeanRinVA:
Just installed 3.1.0 w/o a wipe. No problems. Re-installed Incredible Revolution theme. No problems. Thanks for the stable ROM and for working hard to keep us from having to do a wipe.

I've tried nearly all of them out there - even CM, and I really think this is the most stable.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ty07allstar:
Just flashed and nothing will install from the market. Any suggestions?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crackers8199:
i'm going on a good 30+ minutes now stuck at the droid eye screen (with the screen turned off). should i restore and start over or could it really take this long for first boot?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mikedmeyer:
To clarify, anyone coming from the previous version of Virtuous shouldn't need to wipe. I see from your earlier posts that you're coming from SkyRaider, so a wipe is highly recommended. You can always try it without, but make sure you back up...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ozzman54:
When I did it I was at the droid eye screen for maybe 2-3 minutes. If it's taking 30+ you've probably got a problem. I'd suggest restoring and flashing again with a complete wipe of the data/cache if you didn't before. Not sure if that's the issue, but it seems all the people having problems are the ones not wiping data/cache.

Boot Loop.... HELP!

Just applied Virtuous 3.1 kernel 4 using ROM Manager over a stock Froyo ROM rooted with Unrevoked and the DSP Manager installed. Now the phone keeps rebooting on me.

The status bar shows up, I get the sync animation, 3G connects and it stays up for 15 to 20 seconds before rebooting

I've pulled the battery several times and even tried a different battery in it. I've even pulled the SD card out and still get the same thing.

If I shut it down and then try to start it up while holding the volume up ti buzzes 3 times. I then have to take the battery out to get it to start up.

I've also wiped the Dalvik Cache.

Any help?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
But it only works once, then you have to reset it. PITA
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ozzman54:
What radio are you using? Is setCPU running?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] crackers8199:
interestingly enough, i just pulled the battery and (for ****s and giggles) turned it back on without restoring...it works now. no issues or errors to speak of, yet (knock on wood)...very odd.
