I don't have any real numbers but the 1500 is noticeably better that stock. With stock I would have to charge once or twice daily and with the 1500 I can make it a whole day with heavy use or 2 days with light use. let me know asap as there is someone waiting on your answer and in line.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] anicotra:
Working good here.

Virtuous 3.1, stock v4 kernel, 9.01 radio, wireless tether 2.0.5-pre13
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xShin:
I most likely would like to buy it, just a few last questions real quick - I'm kind of confused, you said you get a day's worth of heavy use out of the Evo battery, but I thought you mentioned earlier you were getting a new extended battery since the Evo one doesn't last long enough. And also, how heavy is your "heavy" use? Having to charge once or twice with the stock battery sounds like insanely heavy usage to me, I usually have ~30% left by the end of the day with reasonably heavy use on the stock battery (granted, I do have all the extra non-essential stuff turned off but I do use 3g the whole day more or less).

If you wouldn't mind just clarifying, that would be great :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RebelShadow:
I typical heavy use day for me would be about 10 to 15 calls, 50 to 70 emails with 2 gmail accounts and one exchange, a couple of hours of web surfing and or XDA app, an hour or so of streaming video (Orb or hulu) and a couple of hours of WiFi tethering.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RebelShadow:
I forgot to add that I am replacing with a bigger battery because I would like to maybe go 2 days with heavy use. I probably won't need it but it make sense to me to be ready if I need it. I would rather have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it. I also live in Hurican-ville ( southern Louisiana) and having maximum run time is important to me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xShin:
Dang that's really good if the battery lives through all that then. How shall we go about making the transaction? Your post pretty much has me sold lol.

Reboots in Airplane mode

I was running 3.0.1 with no problems, but I saw that 3.1.0 was available so I went ahead and updated. Only issue that I am having is that whenever I lose signal entirely, or when I put it in Airplane mode, it begins a continuous reboot cycle: Reboot - up for 30 seconds - reboot...

Any ideas?

Radio 2.15

S-Off no
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TCommander:
Do you have Lookout app installed?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BSFL89:
why would lookout cause this?

Great Question. Not completely answered here but certainly speculated.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
FWIW, I've been using Lookout for a couple of months - no issues at all.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ElJorge1050:
I was running Virtuous 3.0.1 and it ran perfectly fine. I saw the update to 3.1.0 and I applied it with a full wipe. Was running fine for a couple of hours but then it started rebooting at random. I tried to re-install from Clockworkmods ROM manager as well as from d/l and placing on the SD card and still get the random reboots. I went back to 3.0.1 and my phone no longer reboots randomly. Any ideas as to what the cause could be? I had the same exact apps on 3.1.0 as I did on 3.0.1 and am wondering if I needed a specific update to my Baseband or if I should be using a different Kernel?

Current Configuration:

Virtuous 3.0.1

Baseband: 2.05.00.06.11

Kernel: 2.6.32.15

Build: 3.21.605.1 CL231334
[Droid Incredible Android Development] heliotropeUCSD:

Same exact problem here. I've stuck with 3.0.1 and edited build.prop to block the OTA.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TCommander:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] radiohead14:
those who have been having issues with 3.1.. do you guys use titanium backup?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ElJorge1050:
I'm updating my radio to match s197. Backing up now. I'll let you guys know in a couple of minutes... wish me luck!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] radiohead14:
i doubt it's the radio.. 7.28 is stable.. you most likely have bad data.. that's why i asked if you use titanium backup
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ElJorge1050:
Well I just backed up my data after updating my radio and hboot. Using Clockworkmods built in backup feature and also using it to re-download the software now so hopefully this works. Just to recap:

Virtuous 3.0.1

Baseband: 2.15.00.09.01 (just flashed)

HBoot: 0.79 (just flashed)

Kernel: 2.6.32.15

Build: 3.21.605.1 CL231334

D/L just finished as I was typing this so again wish me luck!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ElJorge1050:
So far so good. I'll let you guys know if it randomly reboots but right now it looks like its all good.

Virtuous 3.1.0

Radio: 2.15.00.09.01

HBoot: 0.79

Kernel: 2.6.32.17

[Droid Incredible Android Development] xShin:
Just wondering rmk, now that the source code has been released for the 2.6.32.17 kernel, what should we expect? I was debating switching from the stock 2.6.32.17 kernel to Adrynalyne's since some people were reporting better battery life, but now that the source code has been released, should I just wait a few days? Currently my phone can last me a whole day with moderate usage, but I want to see if I can get a day out of it with heavier usage :p
[Droid Incredible Android Development] marcmarshall:
Virtuous 3.1, tether 2.0.5-pre9, baseband 7.28. No problems.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ElJorge1050:
Just re-installed 3.1.0 and I'll try the Wi-Fi tether later on tonight, that is as long as my phone doesn't have the random reboot issue. So far so good though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ElJorge1050:
So far that seems to have fixed it!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ElJorge1050:
Didn't work. 3.1.0 still randomly reboots. Back to 3.0.1 for now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gahh Its Lee:
My WiFi tethering is working I'm on 3.1 with 7.28 or whatever radio and pre 14 works perfect for me
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ElJorge1050:
So back to my original issue, Virtuous 3.1.0 randomly reboots on its own when installed. I have installed via putting the file on the SD card (update.zip) as well as going through Clockworkmods ROM manager and they both get the same result. I have done a full wipe on both methods and I have verified the install files. My current configuration that does not randomly reboot:

Virtuous 3.0.1

Build 3.21.605.1

Kernel 2.6.32.15

Radio 2.15.00.09.01

HBoot 0.79

Any thoughts on why 3.1.0 randomly reboots?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JHeal77:
I'll be honest... I only recently (about 1 week) moved up to the 2.15.00.09.01 radio, and ever since I have been having random reboots. Before, running the official radio, I didn't have a single reboot issue. And I have been running the 3.1 ROM since the release date.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ElJorge1050:
Well I just flashed my radio because before the flash to 2.15.00.09.01, I was randomly rebooting when I was running the 2.05 radio and moved to Virtuous 3.1.0. Again, 3.0.1 was working fine and when I installed 3.1.0 is when my phone started the random reboots.

Location Consent

I installed Virtuous for the first time today

The location consent is different then normal.

The options are:

VZW Location Services: Use location services provided by Verizon Wireless

Standalone GPS Services: Use Location Services based on Standalone GPS

Which one did you guys choose? I'm not going to be using VZW Navigator. I'll only be using Google Navigation and Google Location for the most part.

Do I choose Standalone GPS Services? Are there benefits to either? What did you guys (and gals) do?

Thanks!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xShin:
For what it's worth, I'm using the 9.01 radio with Virtuous 3.1 and have not yet had any problems (I've been running Virtuous ever since I got my DInc on 10/25 and I flashed 9.01 about a week later).

As far as GPS goes, I usually have it turned off, but I turn on the standalone one when I need to use navigation or Google maps and it works just fine. Google location services is for stuff like the weather part of the main clock widget, and I'm assuming the VZW one is for VZW apps, I'm really not sure.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] s197:
Maybe try Adrynalyne's kernel. Running the same setup as you (except Kernel) for weeks now with no reboot or battery issues.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ElJorge1050:
Sounds like a plan. I'll give that a go and see what happens. For what it's worth, 3.0.1 is still a good ROM and I'm posting pretty good Quadrant and Linpack scores as well as getting good battery life so if this doesn't work, I'll just stick with what does work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hextall:
I think this refers to whether to use the built in GPS (obviously more accurate, but more battery intensive) or verizon's cell towers (which can sort of triangulate your location, but obviously aren't as accurate). I don't believe it is app specific.

Disclaimer: I'm new to this rom, and I believe the stock ROM has similar menu items, just not specifically using Verizon by name.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JoeyBert:
any problems with Metamorph themes?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] powerdoesntrun:
I'm having an issue with this ROM on my Incredible with the Virtuous kernel where my battery usage time keeps resetting itself. Before bed, I'll look at it and it will say 11 hours since unplugged, and when I wake up, it says 6 hours. Has anyone else had this problem?

Edit: Now it says 15 hours (which is still wrong), but it claims that Android System has been using 96% of the battery during this time, which is impossible.

New Install

So I have been using the Virtuous Custom Kernel on the Stock ROM for awhile now. I decide I wanted to play around with the ROM itself and installed it today. No real issues except one.

So I have a modified Mail.apk that allows me to bypass the security policies that are injected by Exchange Servers. HERE is the XDA forum post on the procedure if you are interested.

Anyway, for some reason I can only see the Mail.apk provided with the ROM. If I rename the old Mail.apk to something else and paste in the modified one with Root Explorer, the app is not listed in the application list.

It worked fine for me with the Stock ROM without the latest Verizon HTC Update.

Kinda scratching my head here. Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
Did you try selecting it and installing it, as opposed to just copy and paste?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] clambert11:
Yeah, I did. Just for S&Gs. It doesn't install. The original file does the same thing. Pretty sure there is nothing to install.

SMS Text Sorting

Hello All! I just loaded this ROM day before yesterday and so far it as been great with one exception. My SMS texts are grouped by sender instead of the order in which they were sent/received. I did a search around google and noticed the problem with the Droid X but not much on the incredible. Any ideas on a fix would be much appreciated!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] clambert11:
I think I figured it out. My problem appeared to be with the permissions.

[EDIT]: I'm not exactly sure what the deal was, but I created the issue myself by taking a shortcut and trying to use Root Explorer. When I threw the phone into recovery, mounted the system folder, and pushed the file everything worked like it should. I didn't mean to hijack the thread. Sorry.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ElJorge1050:
Well I tried the Custom Kernel (2.6.32.15) and it drains my battery like crazy. Anyone else see this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gahh Its Lee:
Just download.the newer modified kernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] clambert11:
I differ from you slightly. I have radio 2.15.00.07.28 still and use Virtuous 3.1.0. Battery life is much better than when I had stock. You really need to use SetCPU with it. Are you? If not, you can grab it for free off of XDA (thanks to the dev) instead of paying for it in Android Market.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Appa567:
Hey all- I am brand new to Virtuous and I had a couple of questions I was hoping I could get a hand with.

I downloaded Virtuous v3.1.0 off of ROM Manager just last night- I've done nothing else to my phone as of yet BUT I am very interested in kernels.

My questions Im hoping to get help on are:

How can I tell what kernel (if any) came with the Virtuous v3.1.0 ROM that I just downloaded?

I am very interested in fast charging and improved battery life. Is there any kernel that some can recommend that I look into?

Is there a kernel recommendation that I can get off of ROM Manager?

Again- I'm very very new to rooting so please dumb it down for me if at all possible. Thanks in advance, guys.

Regards!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
Kernals tend to work differently with different people's phones. It is the epitome of YMMV. My suggestion: try what you have for a couple days. if you'd like to try something else, download and install it from ROM manager.

Always do a nand backup first.

You can tell what kernal you are presently running by going to Menu > Settings > About phone > software information.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Appa567:
Sounds good- I'll give this a go for a few days like you suggested. I had been rooted for about 3 weeks prior just running stock sense and getting rid of alot of the bloatware that was preinstalled. Did a bit of research and found that Virtuous was very similar to Sense and figured I'd give it a spin.

Brother, believe me when I say I make frequent nandroid backups- I dont want to mess anything up ha.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ilangoadigal:
The stock kernel v4 is getting me the best battery life i've ever seen, between 6-8 hours of awake time on a stock battery. I've been sticking with 3.0 and this kernel for quite some time now and will probably keep doing so in the future until gingerbread comes out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] clambert11:
It comes with the stock kernel. I like the Virtuous Custom Kernel running with SetCPU. You can also download that from within Virtuous in ROM Manager.

I recommend purchasing Titanium Backup to backup your apps and app data. You can then restore them in one shot after you install the new ROM. I also take screen shots with Shoot Me for reference of icon and widget placements.

It's not a huge hassle, but you gotta do some work to get your phone set all back up.

Good luck!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lennie paz:
Can you post the settings you are using in SetCPU with the custom kernel?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ElJorge1050:
I just installed SetCPU and wanted to know what I should post as I have not used this before? Note that I made a couple of changes (see below) in order to try and make my battery last longer but it doesn't seem to be working out...

*Edit

Flashed Radio to 2.15.00.07.28

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Berzerker7:
Uhm...the Incredible still has the required specs for 3.0, and since it's coming out before the EOL date for the Incredible on March 31st, I wouldn't be surprised to see 3.0 as the EOL version for the Incredible.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] redeyerev:
Worked like a charm. Thanks so much! Great ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Did you have another kernel, like KingX installed prior to applying the patch? If so, just re-install KingX and you should be fine. The patch is actually to the ramdisk on the boot partition, so it'll persist with other kernels.

Why would this happen? Because each kernel installs corresponding modules in /system/lib, which are tied to the kernel version (version magic). In other words, different kernel builds cannot load each other's drivers. So chances are right now you have the stock Virtuous kernel with another kernel's drivers.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] intersysx:
Yes - I did. Had KingX BFS installed. Wifi was back after I reinstalled it. Your ROM is so smooth I totally forgot I had switched kernels. Thanks again for Virtuous - it's great.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Cool glad it is fixed. I'm going to modify my patch to replace the kernel modules as well since you're probably not the only person who has taken this exact path.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] liquidbud:
Interesting, thanks for the reply. I have tested it with other ROMs since and have no issues with soft reboots while batch restoring with them, but only with Virtuous unfortunately.

In scanning the thread it does seem to be an isolated incident, which doesn't bode well for my situation I guess.

Re: Hulu devil voices

Isn't this the reason? I recall after this fix was implemented, the devil voices started to appear. If you do the old school build.prop change, I believe the devil voices will go away and AAC should still sound okay.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KilgoreBA:
Has anybody yet figured out how to make the “Low on space: Phone storage space is getting low.” error to go away? This keeps happening to me even though I have tons of memory left over. As far as I know, this is happening on all phones that have HTC Sense. It would be awesome if you could get this error to stop popping up in your ROM rmk40!

I'd like to share my experience so far!

I upgraded to this ROM from stock 2.1 with root and modified kernel to do wifi tethering. I followed all of the correct procedures to flash to this. Right now I'm running:

Baseband 2.15.00.07.28

Virtuous 2.3

KingxKernel BFS

I used Titanium Backup to restore my apps and such, no issues there. After setting all of that up, I put on the Wireless Tether for Root users 2.0.5-pre8 and am running it right now.

I have noticed a few things with my setup:

- Things seem to be a bit choppy compared to when I was just on 2.1 (example, I'm using launcherpro and appdrawing isn't too smooth like before). I can't tell if this is from the kernel or not, is there an adequate way to test speeds? Linpack is it?

- As the tether is running, it's running hotter than on stock 2.1, right now it's at 43C, or 108.86F. I can't recall if this is normal (I'm not downloading anything, it's just on).

I've got an hour drive ahead of me, so I'll turn off the tether and observe. Hopefully I'm just being paranoid!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CiDirkona:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Kauffman_c:
Quite a bit of success

Well,

after the last 4 days of intense, eye burning, scrutinizing reading, (especially in these very helpful forums) I have finally got things running correctly. I thought I would miss my BB, but this is so much better.

Managed to:

Unrevoked 3

then Forever, S-Off

then Virtuous 2;2.1;2.2;now 2.3

kingxkernel bfs 1

setcpu running @ 1.15 (and underclocked screen off for battery thank goodness)

quadrant standard maintaining +-1500

2.3 Has been very stable, and I am wondering about other people's success with the new flash on this rom. Videos on ESPN don't play, but work for most other sites. Is this a java / some other issue not related to flash?

Thanks for all the wonderful info all. Even a true noob can be a hacker if he spends enough time with his face in a screen.

I know about the fix_permissions issue. I'm going to see if I can work with koush to get it fixed. To be honest it's breaking because it's doing things in shell it shouldn't be, like trying to write to the UID variable which is ready-only in bash.

Question about BASH Selection

RMK40 - Is it possible that your choice to include bash is causing trouble. If you think about your 'charter' for the ROM, it is a pure stock with just the awfulness removed. I think this may have been your one breach of the charter ... any thoughts to put back what should be there?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Agreed, you make a valid point.

I submitted the fixed version of fix_permissions which works with bash to koush who agreed to submit it for review. However, in the meantime, I'll revert to sh as the default shell in 2.4, until the script fix makes its way into ROM manager.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Cool

Thanks ... its your ROM which is actually making me think that maybe I will just stop waiting for the OTA and just RUU (I am still stock 2.1 w/1.0.x radio) and then apply your ROM. The only bugs I am really seeing in the thread are people who flashed your ROM over their custom kernel (instead of vice versa).

Of course, I am one of those people who went thru RMA's and has been nandroid-restoring my first DINC across my replacements to avoid reinstalling stuff, so I guess I will also have to nandroid-restore the third DINC ROM and then go thru all this (which is why I haven't).

Thanks for putting back SH and keeping it pure :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] clambert11:
Your Mileage May Vary...

I'm just using basic settings:

Scaling is set to conservative and of course you need it set to boot.

Additionally I have 2 profiles set up:

Battery < 10% = 806 max / 245 min in conservative

Screen Off = 245 max / 245 min in powersave

Setting up a profile for screen off is the biggest battery saver. I'm by no means a SetCPU expert.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ilangoadigal:
You should all be careful with setcpu. These new kernels are smart enough to manage themelves and you might be making things worse by playing with the governor.
