LOVE this ROM! Thank you for all your hard work. My ONLY issue is, for whatever reason, when I go to the Market and hit "Downloads" it says "A server error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen."

Any help?:confused:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mindless.spades:
You're not the only one. I think it's a problem with the google market server. I'm having the same problem and I'm seeing intermittent news of the same problem being posted over the interweb.

I've tried doing a factory reset and reinstalling Virtuous 2.7 and doing an NANDROID restore but neither solved the problem.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Casbah:
Yep, it's not Virtuous. There's something going on with the Market. People were even rating one particular application 1 star and complaining about the download error. BTW: Saw your same question on Androidforums.com
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cincybearcatfan:
Thanks for your reply, everything seems fine this morning. Market works, all is right with the world. ;) Yeah, I did post there too, hoping to get out there may be a problem and see if I missed a fix, glad there's not.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drjonz:
If this post is in the wrong place, feel free to move/delete it.

I have a question concerning Virtuous 2.7 and compatible kernals. 2.7 is my favorite ROM out there so far, and I'm getting great battery life out of the custom kernal, but I'm still having issues with the GPS draining the battery faster than it will charge (like with stock). I tried Kings BFS#3 (unbearably slow) and BFS#4 (could charge with GPS, but tons of lag with music skipping).

Does anyone recommend any compatible kernal that has similar battery life to the Virtuous Custom, but allows GPS to run without outpacing the charger?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] INTREPID-NY:
What kind of charger? USB port, 12v Car or AC Wall and how many milliamps is the charger (e.g., 500ma, 1A, 700ma, etc.).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drjonz:
I tried it with a 12v car charger (I think it may only be 700 or 800 ma, pretty sure it's not 1000), and also with a car-to-usb adapter and a micro usb cable. I got the same results.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
You'll probably need a full 1A charger to get charging w/ GPS. The car-to-usb adapter you used probably wasn't 1A either.

I found an adapter ("Made for all Motorola phones" it proclaims) made by Wireless Gear at K-Mart for $10 that would charge w/ GPS Navigation + Pandora over 3G. (At least under 2.1, haven't tried the same trick under 2.2 yet.) Worked w/ my wife's Droid and my Incredible.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] INTREPID-NY:
Agreed. You can use any name brand high quality micro-usb charger (they all provide 5v) with 1 amp or 1000 mA output. I use Motorola and Blackberry chargers. Unfortunately, most car charges onnline do not list the amps - you have to actually look at the charger.

Here is a Blackberry Rapid charger that does not list the amps:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] drjonz:
Cool, I will give that a shot. I know I could use these other two chargers with 2.1 without any problem, and it seemed to work with Kings BFS#4, but the lag got to be unbearable after 24 hours.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] anicotra:
Have you tried the custom kernel? I think the charging is a bit faster, more like it was in 2.1. At least I can recover some battery while playing slacker via Bluetooth while driving to work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ez10:
I love this. It is nice and clean the way I like it... I wish more Devs made Sense ROMs for the Incredible.

I just would like to see home screen rotation to landscape/portrait... I car mount my phone and use music widgets (pandora/mixzing) while driving... a landscape view would look nice.

Thanks for your work.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] okpgreg:
LauncherPro will do that for you if you're not stuck on the stock launcher.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Casbah:
Never hurts to ask it in more than 1 forum. :) Just don't crosspost on the same site! I did that a long time ago and got whacked for it. haha
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Casbah:
I went another route and just bought the one from the Verizon store. It has no problem charging the phone while using GPS and streaming in Pandora. Display registers AC charging.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JeeperDon:
Regarding the charging/GPS comments a bit above: That sounds like an opportunity for an app. We have battery life meters, how about a current meter? It could imaging it indicating a green number for amps charging rate, or a red number for discharging rate.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drjonz:
Yes, other than the GPS battery drain, the customer kernal has worked the best out of all of them. I'll run by the verizon store on my way home and see if they have any 1000ma chargers available.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
You lose access to all the Sense widgets though. Some might not find the tradeoff worth it, and would rather wait to see if Sense from the new Desire HD/Z can be ported.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wryun:
FEATURE REQUEST

Is it possible to add a "Reboot" option when you long press the power button? Not necessarily a reboot into recovery or anything (although that would be rad), but just an option for Reboot.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TCommander:
There is a mod for this that was posted a few pages back. It works great and would be awesome if it was added to the ROM or at least the goodies.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] larsrya8:
Anyone else having difficulty installing the new Gmail app (version 2.3)? I get "installation unsuccessful". Is this because we have v2.2.1 installed (are they the same)?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] n99hockey:
Yes I am too, I was just coming here to post this.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rugbydroid:
Same for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lilsalmon:
Not really, with todays release of the 'Friends' widget, anyone who purchased the Pro version has all of the main widgets that sense offers, PLUS the ability to customize the widgets a bit. For me it was a no-brainer.

-Lil'
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lilsalmon:
Ditto here.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TCommander:
I actually find the Launcher Pro widgets better. Same concept but better functionality plus the added benefits you mentioned like resizing widgets. LP has made my phone that much better. Best paid for app I have. Closely followed by tasker.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cpupeli1:
Same exact thing with me as well :confused: No luck with installing the new Gmail. In addition my Gmail will not show my new messages until I manually refresh. It'll say I have (5) messages but will not show them until I hit refresh myself. Any ideas ?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lilsalmon:
I with you... I feel like I have total control with the 'Plus' version of LauncherPro, Virtuous and the custom kernal.

-Lil'
[Droid Incredible Android Development] syrguy1969:
As a few others have mentioned (a couple about the "reboot" option on this page, someone mentioned a landscape mode in a prior page, a mention of the new sense was just made a couple posts ago, along with others) I was wondering if there were any plans on cooking in the Desire HD's "new Sense". From what I have seen it is pretty cool and a few items have already been picked out (the reboot menu and an old-style flipping click are two).

I know rmk40 wants this ROM to be as close to stock as possible, but hopefully an upgrade of the Sense UI would qualify as just an updated stock???? :D

Here is the link to the dump thread if anyone is interested:

Here is something I found in my other forum for Gmail 2.3.

"PSA For those of you running custom ROMS:

This might not work on all custom roms because your device's ID may not line up to match the one that google expects, so it will fail to authenticate.

You'll have to wait for your Rom developers to build the right id into the code, or just release the modified .apk"
[Droid Incredible Android Development] AisforAustin:
The new GMail is v2.3, Virtuous 2.7 has GMail 2.2.1 I believe. I can't install the new version either..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] larsrya8:
If anyone is by a computer, try renaming the installed gmail.apk to gmail.apb (in recovery) and then boot up and try to install the new Market version. If it doesn't work, you can go back into recovery and rename gmail.apb back to gmail.apk .
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scarfoot:
Can someone post the apk for the new gmail? I should be able to replace it using root explorer, right?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cpupeli1:
That sounds right with the authentication. Any ideas on why I have to manually refresh though? Even in the Gmail unread mail widget I have to do the same thing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lilsalmon:
Yes, however Virtuous is built from the Incredible RUU, so it should authenticate correctly as an HTC Incredible? No?

-Lil'
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rugbydroid:
Since Virtuous 2.7 is running 2.2.1 ... could that be the problem? Maybe an uninstall of Gmail and a download of the new 2.3 apk off the market?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jskolm:
This worked for me.... I used root explorer and went to /system/app and renamed gmail.apk to gmail.apb. Then restarted the phone and went to the market and installed the new version of gmail.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wryun:
Confirmed for me as well.

Used root explorer and followed what "jskolm" did.

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wryun:
Double posted on accident.

Please DELETE this post.

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cpupeli1:
This worked for me as well. Thanks :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fortesquieu:
I'm on virtuous 2.7 and downloaded Gmail 2.3 and installed it without any problem.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Matt Devo:
same here, it auto-updated when I opened up the market
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
I know about it and expected it. The reason this is occurring is because our Gmail version had to be patched to work with Voice Search. I had been considering a new release the past few days anyway so this will act is a nice catalyst.

Since I am here posting, here's what I was thinking (please provide comments/feedback on it):

I want to move more apps back to /system/app. Prior to Virtuous Buddy and/or EZ-Customizer it was compelling to move as many apps as possible to /data/app. At this point, it just adds another place to have to go to remove stock apps. My thought is, it would be easier for you guys to either use Buddy or Customizer for EVERY stock app.

The trigger for this is two-fold. First, I discovered a bug in the /data/app logic which is just becoming increasingly complicated to deal with. And second, if everything is in one place, I can modify the scripts to move disabled apps rather than delete them, so you can easily toggle them off and on via buddy.

Our end result is the same, you can still easily remove everything, it just becomes simplified. I was thinking this next release would be 3.0 (given the magnitude of the change). Following 3.0, every upgrade would be made available as a small patch, like we had from 2.5 to 2.6.

What do you guys think?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mothy:
I used the root explorer method and it worked.

Hey cool 100th post.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jskolm:
I like that idea RMK. Also, with the 2.7 update, I no longer have a 'button' around things that need to be pressed. For example. In gmail when I get something that needs to 'Show Pictures' the words are there and I can click on it, but the button framework is gone. Another example it when signing into google on the mobile website, it Sign In words are there, but the button is missing. Can you check why they are there in 2.6 but gone in 2.7. I have done a fresh install any everything to see if there was something messed up in my install. I assume it has to do with the framework-res being modified for the smooth sense icons?.?.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmoney:
would definitely like all apps back to stock and use rommanager to disable them. 3rd party toggle widgets don't always work when wifi tether is moved.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ardax:
@rmk40: I think that sounds like a good idea. Considering that it seems that the primary purpose of moving things into /data/app was to enable easy removal, and EZ-Customizer and Virtuous Buddy can take over that function, there's no point in maintaining the artificial separation. It also brings the ROM back "closer to stock," since you don't have any complex mechanisms to deal with your stuff in /data/app.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] skain:
RootExplorer method worked for me to update Gmail. Be sure you restart the phone after the rename.

As for moving the apps back I think closer to stock is always going to be better barring any good arguments against it.

Thanks for a great rom!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Yep, exactly. Well said.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] corefile:
I just wanted to through my 2 cents with the rest who have replied, I think moving everything back to the default location is preferable.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrchambo:
I concur with the move.

Still the best Sense ROM going. Great work, def...

[Droid Incredible Android Development] WhammyDroid:
Didn't have a problem.

This.

Fine by me. So when's 3.0 coming out? :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] paugster:
I think this sounds great. Any idea of an ETA?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OSully:
I also think that it's a great idea.

If I may suggest - how about adding in the reboot option on the power button screen for the next version?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smt0222:
Auto-updated Gmail from market as well (Virtuous 2.7), but got installation was unsuccessful. I'll wait... also, odd that as soon as you click on Gmail app, it automatially tries to install (no separate "About" or "Comments" page).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Alright so here's what I'm doing now:

Any apps which were part of the stock HTC ROM and remain enabled will be in the default location, /system/app.

Any apps disabled by the user via Customizer or Buddy can easily be enabled.

Apps which are added by Virtuous (via Market or other source) will be in /data/app. Examples of apps in /data/app include Android Tether, Chrome to Phone and Google Voice (the later two are being added in 3.0).

Virtuous-installed apps in /data/app can be reinstalled by using Buddy to clear removal state or by wiping data.

This will create a more predictable separation with everything ultimately being in their stock locations, while allowing us to appropriately utilize all the scripting work I did.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wryun:
Could you add an option to "REBOOT" when long pressing the power button as well?

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
I'll work on it tonight and see how far I get. The changes to the ROM are not as time consuming as all the updates I need to make to Virtuous Buddy's scripting to support enable/disable toggling the way I've always wanted to have it.

So, short answer, I'll keep everyone updated. Sometime this week for sure but I cannot commit to an exact day. Just know I'll be working on it diligently in my free time and will release it once we can confirm it is functioning correctly.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OSully:
FYI, the new version of gmail still ****s up the "note to self" feature.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] billybob275:
I would like to second this.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] billybob275:
Yes, and overall I think it has the best performance/battery life in combination with 2.7 of all that I've tried, but I still have the battery drain issue when using GPS. If it is just because of my charger, then I'll gladly go back to the custom kernal.

EDIT: accidentally posted on a friend's computer earlier under a his name. Back on my account now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dccoh:
Have you tried Kings? I'm using it but getting a bit of lag lately.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] anicotra:
Gmail updated fine for me on 2.7 with custom kernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] billybob275:
Yes, BFS#3 was unusable for me, a lot of lag and frequent FC's. BFS#4 worked great for a day, then became almost as buggy as #3. I rebooted, tried reinstalling it, but couldn't get the same results as the first day with it. I went to the Virtuous Custom and got the same battery life with better stability, but traded off for battery drain with GPS running while charging.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OSully:
I'm glad I'm not the only one with BFS issues. It was great the first day or two, but anymore it's laggy and I my unlock screen is unresponsive. I went back to hydra, but I find that the battery drain is significant. I'm trying the custom kernel now, I like it, but I REALLY would like to be able to overclock. It'd be great if adrynalyne put in the capability.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sdorn77:
nvm, figured it out . . .
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kyle1745:
Shouldn't you also be able to rename via a terminal? I tried but it showed the file as read only. Id rather not buy root explorer to use it one time.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scarfoot:
Gmail.....and custom kernels...

I think I am going to wait for Virtuous next release for gmail. This is by far an extremely solid ROM....

Has anyone been successful with an over-clocked kernel on this ROM? I was using Kings #4, and it was smoking fast (1465 Quadrent rating). However, after 3 days, the phone started lagging, tried going back to restore and it started lagging after a day..

How about Hydra's kernel? Do they play well with the ROM? So far I like Adrynalyne's kernel the best, but I loved the performance I got with Kings #4 before it started lagging....Any suggestions?

Thanks,

-Sf-
[Droid Incredible Android Development] the14thgod:
so I installed the ROM successfully, and went to add a the theme 'INCredible rEVOlution' and now it keeps going to 'htc quietly brilliant' it's just blinking over and over...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trimax84:
Same here :confused:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
I recommend waiting for me to release 3.0 instead of updating Gmail yourselves. You're risking breakage by manually changing anything around in /system. It is one thing to make changes via Buddy/Customizer, another to use Root Explorer. I can't support the later, so you're on your own if something no longer works after you make a change.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OSully:
I had the exact same experience with Kings BFS #2. I reverted back to Hydra #3 - only issue I had there was some huge battery drain. I'm using the custom kernel for virtuous now and it's working very well. I just wish I could overclock.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Sorry to disappoint but the custom kernel offered with Virtuous will never support overclocking. It's just completely counter to everything the ROM is about.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] anicotra:
I don't understand. Why would you want to overclock if your looking for better battery life.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] the14thgod:
should I do a factory wipe? and then install from sd and re-load the rom?

anyone got any suggestions?

i can get to clockwork recovery and im new to this whole thing, so at a loss here..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spjoneser:
Rmk, Any chance of adding back in the option of boot sound? Maybe another option added to customizer?

Nevermind! You already have, your awesome!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trimax84:
Despite the above recommendation, I used the method found here to update gmail.

In adb shell, I did

mv /system/app/Gmail.apk /system/app/Gmail.apb

Then updated via market. Seems to work well thus far.

Of course, if I had read the above post by the OP prior to chancing this, I probably would have just waited for Virtuous 3.0 which sounds like it's coming soon :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spjoneser:
Sounds to me like a good idea for me to start from scratc when 3.0 comes out since I have been removing things on my own and such. Would be nicer to have them all altered or removed through the same interface as it would help keep track of them.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] OSully:
I would agree it wouldn't make sense to put as part of virtuous seeing as virtuous is so close to stock, but the option would be nice... maybe in another thread, another time...

What I'm trying to say is it'd be nice to have a kernel that runs as well as Virtuous' but supports overclocking, outside of and not affiliated with Virtuous.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bobby janow:
Thank goodness for small favors. Who the heck needs a faster phone than this? I'm getting tired of Quadrant scores and other stats. Make the phone work with customization and I'm there.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Amin Sabet:
I uninstalled Gmail with Titanium, powered off and on, then installed Gmail 2.3 from the market. Worked fine. If things get glitchy, I've no problems with wiping and installed the latest Virtuous again. Getting everything back how I like it takes less than an hour. Not a big deal.

Replaced BFS #4 with the Adrynalyne kernel today, and I'm noticing a significant battery savings.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] x1208x:
is anyone still having problems with MMS? receiving and sending? :/ I am.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blcklab:
Installed ROM. Phone in constant sync. Unchecked everything I think

I have been very happily using a Sense 2.2 Lite ROM since August, but what the heck. I've heard good things about Virtuous.

I cleared the cache and hard all data since this is a new ROM. Loaded fine. Titanium backup etc.

I disabled weather updates. Turned off all google updates. Anything I could find.

I still see the sync icon in the top bar spinning. If I go into Accounts & Sync I can hit "Cancel Sync" and it stops, even though I have no idea what it is trying to sync.

I restored my older ROM but would love to give Virtuous a shot again.

Any suggestions on a setting a may be overlooking?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] vkennedy:
Gmail fun - When I went to the Market, Gmail did not show up in my Downloads. I guess I never noticed that before. When I searched for it Gmail showed up and appeared like it was going to be a newly installed app. I loaded it with no problems.

For what I got I certainly could have/should have waited for Virtuous 3.0. There's nothing in there that is magically delicious.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] najaboy:
You never noticed it before because it was never there before. It was only today that it appeared in the market. Prior to that, Google tied gmail updates to OS updates.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cpupeli1:
EZ-Customizer

Loving the ROM, saw that the News & FM Radio ran in the background so I tried EZ-Customizer to uninstall these since I have no use. In addition I attempted to remove VZW Backup, Peep, Ringtone Trimmer, and Friendstream Widget.

Upon reboot the phone goes into a screen with the Android guy w/a white triangle and "!" inside. I have to press the power button to get to the recovery screen and I have the options and this
