If you switched from skyraider to a rom like cm6, ruby, shadowrom, there will be the appearance that service is week, but that's just an aesthetic problem, not a real problem...you still have good service, but it appears to be bad
[Droid Incredible Android Development] slumpey326:
you think virtuous will cook the new sense into this ROM. I love this ROM so far, keep coming back to it but was just wondering if it could be done.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cnlwatkins:
Yes. I switched from sky raider to revolution and then to this and its not an appearance my 3g def. Is weak and or no 3g all. I've tested it by going online and it dogs right out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gomisan:
I'm new to this forum, but a bunch of my buddies all have rooted and ROM'd their phones. I placed this ROM on my SD Card and user revoked clockworkmod to wipe and backup and install this ROM. It looks fine, but I have one question. How do I pull my contacts over, etc?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] egeorgia:
You either make sure they are on your gmail and they will sync or use back up assistant in Verizon in accounts and settings.

I had that exact issue with this rom and KK BFS4. Very stable, fast, great battery, so I ran that setup for weeks. Have not tested BFS5 or CFS4 yet, been playing w/ other roms.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihyln:
I posed this question before a few days ago but I haven't gotten any bites. Is there a way to fix the really slow orientation speed? It's extremely frustrating when the phone is in portrait but I need landscape and vice versa.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] flippingout:
I have noticed recently that I have to do frequent reboots to get the radio working again. All of a sudden I'll get sync (exchange, gmail, etc.) errors and then it won't make outbound calls. A simple reset fixes everything but it is happening more often. Anyone else notice this?

I am running the kernel that came with the ROM, haven't flashed any of the KKs to this one. I noticed with the last version of Vanilla and KK#2 my wi-fi would have all sorts of problems. Those are gone now but the daily (sometimes 2 - 3 times/day) restarts are popping up with this set up.

Thanks!

Camera issues

My camera won't save the pictures I take. I think it's because I deleted HTCAlbum.

Does anyone know why this would happen? Where can I get the HTCAblum.apk?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] surfboard3r:
have you made sure that in the camera settings the storage menu is set to sd card?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Calibob2001:
I too am also having radio issues... almost every other day, I have to reboot to restore the radio. I've also noticed that if I reinstall the ROM, it seems to work well for a while before the radio issue shows up again...

Not Charging

I have an interesting issue at hand...

I can access my files via my phone when connected by "Disk Drive" and I can adb my device, however my phone does not charge. When I plug in the phone the icon pops up and it looks like it is charging but when I unplug the phone the battery is less then I started. I have tried this via a wall plug and usb (pc). I never noticed this because I have three different batteries and I would just switch them when they got low. I noticed this because I used to get at least eight hours on one battery, but now I am lucky if I get four!

Before I backup and try a differnt rom, I was wondering if anyone else has a similar issue. I really like the style of SkyRaider and I don't want to switch but it may come down to this if I can not resolve this issue.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] flippingout:
That sounds more like a hardware issue than the ROM. Have you since switched ROMs and then tried charging?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] applesybanaynays:
Your right. It was as easy as changing it the settings. Thanks.

Are the pictures saved to phone storage retrievable?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] usn.mustanger:
If by phone storage you mean internal storage, then yes, they are retrievable.

Also, please review the list of known issues in the original post.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] usn.mustanger:
I thought ihtfp69 builds the SkyRaider ROM's. From what I understand, Virtuous is a completely different ROM, yes?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bobby janow:
I'm beginning to wonder. RMK does Virtuous, ihtfp69 does SR and Lou does the Evo port to Redemptive. But I think they all live in the same apartment building. They're always helping each other out and flashing their roms. Lest I forget deficit with his great UC 1.1 rom too. He just moved in to the back room.

Crazy Stable

WHEW! 1041 posts and about 2 days later I've read the whole thread in an attempt to not re-ask any dumb questions. Please excuse the length, I'll try to be somewhat brief.

Maybe I'm just lucky, but this RC3 ROM has been extremely stable for me. Love all the goodies and extras too like the rotary lock and black statusbar option. Cyanogen 6.02 wasn't as stable as I'd like and I'd seen a lot of sigs mention Skyraider love, so I've been trying it out for a few weeks now, and have been very pleased. In short, awesome work ihtfp69; your responsiveness here is extremely impressive also. Donation may be in the works very soon. :)

I do have a few things I'm curious about still. (Made some notes along the way).

1. Why the menu button unlock? Until I read through here I was quite confused as to why my phone was already unlocked before getting out of my pocket a few times. I know everyone has their own preferences, but why would I want a single soft key to unlock over just a swipe? Is there anyway to disable this?

2. I noticed this on Cyanogen also, but any insight into why I have to hit the optical multiple times sometimes before it'll wake up after enabling the option?

3. I saw you reply to one person that you weren't looking to add an option for the stock Phone app, but I'm curious as to why. I see by your sig you like Sense and I know this is based on the HTC Sense source, but why so much Sense still present in a "Vanilla" ROM? Technical challenges? I personally much prefer the standard apps for the most part, so very much appreciate your work on a ROM you don't even use for your personal device it seems.

4. Not sure version or apk name, but the "stock" calendar in Cyanogen 6.02 is very superior to the HTC one in my opinion. Specifically the inability to edit from the event screen is just dumbfounding, and the crappy notification aggregator that always seems to get confused when I push out reminders. Any way to switch it, or plans to nix the HTC calendar?

5. This one crosses a lot of boundaries and may not be entirely appropriate for here, but is there anyway to change the naming convention for camera pics? Why every imaging device doesn't just name it with a damn timestamp baffles the crap out of me (one of my favorite Cyanogen features). Perhaps I'm just a noob short on time, but does it drive anyone else nuts that it starts back at IMG1 every time you reflash a ROM?

6. I use Quick Settings and loved that Cyanogen Wireless Hotspot worked right from QS. Skyraider seems to use the 3G app from Verizon. Anyway to fix that? Where do I get a wireless hotspot app that doesn't require the subscription and will just replace the paywall one?

Thanks for all the hard work man; truly impressive product, especially for just an RC. Life has been much more stable since switching from Cyanogen 6.02.

Eagerly await any insights you might provide.

Downloading the latest CM now, whatcha think Ihtfp69? Nandroid and/or Titanium backup first obviously.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] v941726:
will this ever be updated or did you guys give up?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
I still say it does not work. Try the calendar notifications. They are all blank. Try to snooze calendar notifications. It will crash. Try selecting a specific calendar. It will crash. Sorry, but I will keep my shorts a while longer.

YouTube

What happened to youtube in goodies? I told a friend to use this ROM and now they don't have the app anymore. Thanks in advance, by far best rom I've used
[Droid Incredible Android Development] flippingout:
Considering he just releases 3.3 sense, I would imagine an update to Vanilla is around the corner. He stated not that long ago Vanilla will continue to get development. Simply read the posts and you will find the answers.

I for one look forward to the updates he has in store.

Edit. Just saw on Twitter updates are "planned" for Vanilla. Doesn't sound like anything has started but, still positive!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] stops81:
I haven't had a problem seeing notifications. I still get my popups but never snooze so cant comment on that.

I only use google calendar so havent had the need to switch calendars. I did just try to sync the exchange calendar though and it didn't work. So I guess it's not entirely functional but it works for my needs.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] v941726:
well, sense is at 3.3.. vanilla is still at rc 3. there are problems with it. so I'm curious is all. cuz I like the rom
[Droid Incredible Android Development] skottema:
Anyone else get youtube up and running? I am having the same problem. Thanks!

I flashed the black status bar mod for this rom but lost the transparent notification bar. I skimmed this entire thread but couldn't find a way to regain the transparency without losing the black bar. Can anyone help?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] flippingout:
Question. Maybe I just didn't notice when my phone was completely stock but why is the MNT folder on the internal memory an almost mirror of the one on the SD card? Seems to be a waste of space on my internal memory. Is there a setting to undo this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] D8nkE:
Try the Evo forum. Don't ever flash a ROM that isn't made for the device you are flashing it to.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] danman7:
Umm, wow, this is an Incredible ROM. I can't imagine what would inspire you to attempt to load a ROM that wasn't meant for your model phone. I wish you well.

+1 for me too, but on a fresh flash it no longer includes the YouTube app and can not flash it from the add ons in goodies either since no longer there. Is there another place to get? The market I guess?

Force Close Gmail

I'm having a problem with gmail force closing. It happens at seemingly random times including right after reboot. Any ideas on where to look?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_chupe:
I don't know if this has been covered, but I noticed that when you go to your contacts list and select send message option, it takes you to new message screen and you have to add the contact manually. Usually when you select to send a message from the contacts list it inserts the contact from which you were at and all you do is text and send. Is there a work around or fix for this issue? If this is covered already, could someone post the page link for the solution or work around. Really am enjoying the skyraider rom btw. Excellent job!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ilikesbs:
Flipping sweet having gmail issues
[Droid Incredible Android Development] misanthropic777:
Cleared the cache and data and it stopped force closing - for now at least. Hardly seems like a real solution.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
It's a solution because it was fc was due to restoring data from an older version. This is why titanium sucks. It does not bother to check version numbers when restoring data. It just assumes everything is ok.

I can't say I have any "must haves", just can't wait to see your finished product ... with some beer money to follow!

[Droid Incredible Android Development] patjanks:
I'm not sure if it's just me but in this rom the mobile youtube site doesn't work but does on others roms. Also I love the settings in the notification bar in MIUI, as well as it's menu for long pressing Home.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tjubb:
Possible to add a panoramic mode to the camera?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Santinelli:
As stupid as it sounds, I REALLY would like the Show pictures button to be a button again in Gmail.

That is the ONLY reason I'm not using this ROM. It was truly my favorite, but not having that a button drove my crazy. :-)

But thanks for getting back on this, I turly loved this ROM...

Notification Menu -

Having recent applications in the notifications menu is nice.

Also, if it is possible to incorporate the settings toggles in the notifications like in MIUI.

Power Off Options -

Is Hibernate possible?

At least adding Hot Boot would be awesome!

Keep the 3g Hot Spot
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drmp3z:
I agree with the other post

when you go to your contacts list and select send message option, it takes you to new message screen and you have to add the contact manually. Usually when you select to send a message from the contacts list it inserts the contact from which you were at and all you do is text and send.

THis would be great to have fixed unless there is something I am missing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
That would be amazing. How does that work? Does it stitch the pictures together? Where did you see this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_chupe:
no one ever answered my post, but a work around for now, would be to use handscent and select "use as default option". It's not a fix but a temp solution. At least then you won't have to manually add contact to new message window.

wireless tether

a good app that I use regularly is wireless tether for root users. Can a working version of this app be added to the next rom?

I attached the app. or here's the link: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
Yes, I plan on addressing this
[Droid Incredible Android Development] antmarching.41:
I'm excited to see a new version of "vanilla" is in the works... I've loved your previous ROMs... if I could make one change it would be to remove the music buttons from the lock screen. If there was a way to do this to the most current version I would dl it today. Can't wait to see what's next though...

One thing I just thought of and not sure if its possible is to add HTML support for the stock email client. On Exchange Active Sync 2003 the HTML email option is grayed out. Truly bugs me but I know this is an issue that started with HTC and not the ROM. If you could get this working, your beer fund would grow quickly :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
Hmmm...this is already possible.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Div033:
I'm assuming it would be too much to ask for the Bluetooth wiimote functionality..? :)

Also will you be able to incorporate the hibernation feature as well as the applications in the notification bar as you did in the sense version? Or will those be scrapped?

Sent from my Droid Incredible using the XDA app.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blandreth94:
Something I think would be cool would be a transparent lockscreen.

Also 270 degree rotation. Maybe some of the other parts from cm6 that people have talked about, and a flashlight app just for SR that can also turn off leds, like the leds hack app in the market, it really helps when its dark and I'm.watching movies or just want to turn off the leds.

Also, fix for the 'message reply to call' feature, idk if this is a known bug or not, but my phone app crashes when I try to use it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] flippingout:
I second an option to turn off the LEDs. Those will blind you when reading in the dark.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] AntsInMyPants:
I read that the Droid X and Epic have this feature but cannot confirm since I don't have access to one. There is an app called Photostich that can do it as an after effect but having a feature built into the camera helps in lining up the shots.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] evansshawnr:
How about Power Control in the Notifications like the Galaxy S phones have, That would be useful.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
Yes, sounds good.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] stops81:
I tweeted these to ihtp but thought I would add here too in case anyone had additional thoughts..aosp calendar and in-call screen, options to edit haptic feedback duration.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tjubb:
I know the Samsung Fascinate has this option. I'm sure other Android based phones have it as well, just don't know which ones off the top of my head. I've seen panoramic mode work in one of 2 ways:

1. The user selects the panorama mode from within the camera app, the app then instructs the user to slowly pan the camera from left to right capturing the scene and you hit the shutter to end the capture. The camera app then stitches together multiple shots.

2. Is a little less automatic than the first option but you enable pano mode, then snap your first photo, the camera app then asks you to move your camera to the right and helps you align your next shot with the previous shot and you then hit the shutter again. You can do this a few more times to get a wider pano.

It would be GREAT to get this functionality. It's the one thing I really miss from previous non-android phones.

erratic touch screen behavior

I experienced something strange. I unlocked my phone to use it and the bluetooth shortcut I added to the top of my screen was lighting up as if I were selecting it to enguage my bluetooth mode. Then I moved the bluetooth icon and placed my wireless tether icon in it's place. It began to do the same thing as if I were selecting it. I then changed screens to my apps screen and it was if I were selecting whatever app was at the top of the screen. Not sure what was happening. Thought it might have been a bug. I turned the phone off and back on to see if this would somehow resolve the issue, but didn't. Then I went to settings and language and keyboard. I recalibrated the touch on the keyboard to see if it would help. so far I haven't had this problem since. Hopefully this resolved this issue. Has anyone else having this issue as well?

It's possible that it's your optical pad. It gets a little flukey sometimes if it gets some dust or something on it. Happens to me quite a bit, just wipe the pad off with your finger and all should be well.
