Here are a few general tips for you guys who don't have as much time to research and hate hitting search, because you never actually find the answer to your question.

Don't automatically blame the Rom. The kernel makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE IN PERFORMANCE AND APPLICATION STABILITY. I love using ziggys kernels, but I switched to chad and now my camcorder works, and locations. I literally have zero problems with this Rom.

Fix permissions! This can solve a multitude of problems.

Be weary of third party applications, some of them are not coded well enough to the point where it will guarantee minimal problems.

When going from an AOSP TO SENSE or SENSE TO SENSE EVEN, wipe data, cache, system,factory, battery stats, dalvik, and then install! I get stunning performance. I know the Rom does most of the required formatting including boot , but just double over before you install.

Titanium backups are your enemy. If its not from the same exact Rom, don't use it.

Do you have a link to the kernel that you used to fix the camcorder?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ChadHughes:
Yep, but I've been using it for the past hour and its being annoying, something like a jealous ex girlfriend.

The awesome kernel is in the thread titled: [KERNEL] 2.6.32.26-HAVS-BFQ-GPU+-smartass - From new HTC source - 11/28/2010 on the front page.

I found my problem of choppiness, it's the htcsense.com syncing. I deleted my account and now the phone flies with this kernel!

If you are having any kind of speed issues, i would encourage you to delete that account before you change kernels or anything like that...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Seagrizzly:
I installed that Kernel and it seems good but the camcorder still doesn't seem to function for me, it looks like it works but then sort of locks up and then when I click the camera button again its a black screen? Any clue how you guys got it to work.

This setup was booted to Recover, flush cache, factory reset, dalvik, and battery stat wiped then installed rom booted and then setup with no accounts what so very fresh then flashed the kernel.

I am going to try and flash the Rom and Kernel without the reboot and setup in the middle.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cincybearcatfan:
Which one of Chad's kernels do you use? I tried the most recent one after I read your post but my camcorder still does not work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Drizula:
I was really hoping to be able to use this ROM, it really is awesome. Unfortunately using Exchange 2010 I can't send emails and under accounts it gives me a "sync protocol error" only for my Exchange contacts. I added another email account and it sends fine but still not Exchange. Anyone else having this issue?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Seagrizzly:
So I am able to use locations and such now though so I guess that is good.

Camera is enough for me right now, Camcorder would be nice but still this rom is far above any other ones.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] IIDIncII:
I'll be honest i cant say im happy for you. Maybe when i get these issues solved i might be, but as for now im not happy for you. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cincybearcatfan:
Thanks so much for posting this. My stock cam still doesn't work, but Qik does now. I rarely use my stock cam because I like the ease of loading videos directly as I record them. This fits all my needs. I hope battery life is as good with this kernel. If so, it's an early MERRY CHRISTMAS to me! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scottylove:
After removing htcsense.com, my lag is considerably better. Is anybody else having lag while installing programs? I'm using chad's latest kernel with fastboot turned off. Lots of UI lag for some reason, all i have is 1 google account synced.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] inittowinit:
I always noted lag when installing programs on sense ROMs (no worse for this one). I still can't get the camcorder to work. Kinda of weird that some can.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scottylove:
This is way worse. I just installed qik and my phone has been unusable for the past 3 minutes its so laggy. Battery life is going to hell in a handbasket, have no idea what the problem is. I did a fresh wipe: factory reset, cache, dalvik, battery, then installed chad's kernel, then repeated factory, cache, dalvik, battery.

Just rebooted so lets see what happens.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scramjones496:
can anyone get visual voice mail to work please, i have tried downloading it from the market and titanium backup doesnt work :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Upstreammiami:
it use to work on v8
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
Your regular camcorder works with chad's? I can only get qik to work with Ziggys (did not check on chad's) and that too is not perfect. I do get FCs still on qik. I will flash chad's kernel and see if that makes it work any better.

I agree with you on wiping dalvik, cache, data (factory reset), and I do it twice to be sure before installing new ROMs. Also before installing any zip file on a ROM I again wipe cache and dalvik - doesnt matter whether I am installing a kernel or a font or whatever. I use titanium only to restore user apps - never system apps (that is dangerous as you said unless its the same exact rom) or data and always always run fix permissions in rom manager - that is why I do not have big problems either. I have some other non critical problems but nothing like the problems some other people are reporting.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scramjones496:
u think i can some how take it from v8 rom?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scottylove:
I think i found the culprit for the lagginess = HTC sense / hub sync. Even with no account signed into, there was a process running on my Running Services menu. Once i stopped the service, my phone went back to being fast as lightning! Hope this helps everybody

it's Process: com.htc.cs:remote or "DashboardService"
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fortesquieu:
I usually dont notice any lag while installing apps on froyo. But on this, it would freeze for a few secs.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ChadHughes:
No problem man, I serve to help where I can and get help when I might need it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fitness12:
Is it different on this rom to update the PRL other than *22899? I try that and it sounds like it is doing it but never reboots and in the past it always reboots the phone. I have never had 1x show on my phone with other roms and my 3G is in and out so wanna try that to see if it corrects the issue if it's different. Otherwise, any suggestions on how to correct the issue?

Thanks...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fortesquieu:
Who is running what kernel and how is it going? Please post. Thanks. :D

Anyone experiencing force closing on HTC sense?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbizzle:
anyone else having issues with the news reader? I keep getting "no server feed". I tried a factory reset and wiping the apps data but that didnt help....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] finanandroid:
Skyraider FTW

The only god thing of this Rom is the new sense beside the great port job. but i think that this rom was made for different phone the original desire a least someone work on this to fix alot of thing on the htc inc, battery life is a joke, camera camcorde lag the phone, force cloae in several apks, so the best actually Rom for the Inc is skyraider, best performance, battery life stable, smooth, and everything work great. Skr ftw...:)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jumbotron:
*228 won't work, search for gmichaelow and the "[Fix] 3G Drops" thread. Resetting factory settings helps, but may have to re RUU to stock and reroot

WTF, thx 2cent. Tried fix permissions for FCs? Not sure why u posted your rant. Nothing constructive, chill out. OP

[Droid Incredible Android Development] aostl:
Chads kernel? I am. So far battery life is much better and qik seems to work consistently. No force closes yet. I wiped the hell out of everything before installing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aostl:
Wow....just wow. First of all sounds like you didn't wipe. Second of all I'm running this Rom and it feels like a bought a new phone. So many differences
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rwcj63:
so far that kernel crashes my phone every time i try to flash it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] najaboy:
Some people lack the intelligence to use a smartphone. You need to be at leat two percent smarter than the phone, and from the tenor of your post, we can see that's not the case.

Interesting though, how your other posts on the site go on about problems that you've had on Skyraider and that Uncommon Sense is the best rom in your opinion. Methinks I smell a troll.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aostl:
I wiped everything. Batt stats and davlik. Then flashed the Rom in recovery. Then while in recovery wiped everything again. Then flashed the kernel. Then booted up. Worked great.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] incubus26jc:
i just got a "system UIDs Inconsistant" need to wipe data message. with a Im feeling lucky button to press. Anyone else?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] IIDIncII:
Okay so I re flashed this ROM (wiped cache, factory, data, dalvic cache then flashed it) and all these issues went away lol. Except internal music issue . Any solution to that would be great. I'm about to flash chads kernel to see if I can get camcorder to work :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aostl:
I don't think Chads fixes native camcorder just qik.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] beatlesfan01:
I wiped, reflashed, and DID NOT use titanium backup. All of my problems with force closing were fixed. I'm also getting the "No server feed" issue with the news reader, and what happened to the htc notes widget? No longer there? I loved that thing lol.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fortesquieu:
Thank you sir!

Dialer Issues

I'm having some issues with the dialer...it's my only complaint...it seems that it makes calls well, but it's not picking up my touch tones in menu options for instance...press #1 for account information...and etc. Is anyone else having this issue? I just need it to respond to me touching the numbers for these automated services businesses are using...argh!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Addicted2Droid:
long tones!!!!!! Been addressed many many times in this thread.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cooljames2186:
Well obviously, I'm aware of long tones...I just thought that may have been fixed and honestly...I searched for that in the settings...and it appears I may have lost the path or overlooked it...would you be willing to shed some light instead of screaming and stating the obvious or are you too far superior to do so? Thanks for screaming and trying to sound like you have the majority on your side, sincerely...Cooljames2186:cool:

Update: I located it in sound settings once I realized my profile was set to vibrate...I changed it to normal...and was able to change the audible to long press...thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
i assume you used Titanium? For whatever reason titanium does not work well across frameworks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Addicted2Droid:
nevermind..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] finanandroid:
I had some problems with Skyraider before the last update, so flash back to uncommon no problem there so far, but after I test the last Skyraider 3.3.4 final updated I was impressed with it, so that why state as the best Rom rn. so cool off

i am not smartphone dev but some people dont have a idea what rom to try better
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sneaky_zekey:
i had same message,i forgot to wipe data/factory reset,i did that and reinstalled rom and everything is good.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xericx:
help

i was running v1.0 just fine but now i need help i cant seem to get the version 1.1 to flash. ok here what i did: I did a data wipe and wipe cache then flashed the ROM and then reboot but it gets stuck at the evo 4g white screen and it stays there i had to pull the battery out and flash my old ROM and im using that now. i have tried like a "million" times but cant seem to work. i was running v1.0 just fine.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] finanandroid:
Ive tried everything possible to fix this Rom, I really appreciate the great Dev work back to SkyR , some times we get emotional, my apology, was no my intention be destructive.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] finanandroid:
I did a full wipe, its a rule before cook any rom right? so did you try to record a video? no yet thought of course the Rom feels great! is the New HTC Sense
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jm5503:
Does any one have the IncDoes HD rom? I need help......can someone send me the system/xbin folder? I'm trying to fix something......tnx in advance...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hazard666:
Sorry if this has been asked before but I just tried this rom out earlier this afternoon and HOLY **** is it fast, but I've grown to love my launcherpro setup and don't need all of the unnecessary Sense bloat but when I try to remove anything (could be as small as Sense widgets) using Titanium I just get a constant boot loop. Never had a problem removing apks before on Sense roms. Any way around this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Riley1524:
I love this ROM, other than the camcorder not functioning, I personally think this the the ROM with the most potential. The new sense is AWESOME!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jm5503:
Can you look into the. Zip for this Rom on your sdcard and send me the system/xbin file???
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jskolm:
here you go
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jumbotron:
If you have the Root Explorer App, you can try going into /system /app, then rename the .apk to .adb (change from R/W to R/O first) and see if it does anything weird. If not, then you can delete it. It sounds low level, but it works without bootlooping.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jumbotron:
All good, just saying the dev community is amazing and they work hard. That is a fine opinion for the general thread.

Peace!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] finanandroid:
Some people lack of common sense as education , they judge people for an unintentional nonconstructive post , your post just show how deep your ignorance

is.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jm5503:
Thank you sir...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] velopirate:
I have searched this thread and haven't seen anyone else having this issue. When going through the initial setup of this ROM, I cannot set up my Google account (and therefore cannot use the Market). When I click "Google account" under Set up accounts, nothing happens.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this? I would love to try this ROM, but this is a deal breaker for me.

Thanks!

Mike
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mr4r4n:
the only issue i have had, i wiped everything DL it, and chads kernel, Titanium for a apps/data restore it all runs smooth, but after a few hours my data connection will just disappear untill i reboot, any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Addicted2Droid:
I'd like to clear something up with titanium...I'm using it to restore my apps and data and have zero issues...what I am not doing is a full restore. I manually pick the apps I feel need restoring but no base Rom apps. Things like touchdown exchange, xda, etc get restored...anything that includes login mostly. If you do a batch restore you are asking for trouble. If you did then I would recommend doing a full wipe amd flash the Rom. Titanium isn't the devil you just have to take the time to manually restore...common sense will help you decide which apps to restore.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mr4r4n:
thanks because I used to use batch restore to do it all the time before but considering the amount of a difference in this rom I was thinking it might have something to do with it I will give it a try and hopefully report back with good results
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Whoareyou:
Hey, I have a friend who I was planning of flashing this to their inc, but I need to know the bugs, could you please tell me them please :-)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] le0.br4zuc4:
I installed the "new"kernell and my camcorder opens but doesn't record videos but my phone is working great and I am fine with that! No lags or problems here and I have all my 4 emails syncing so its all good!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] igknighted:
It's a bug in the HTC Music app. Download MixZing or PowerAMP from the market and they should work (although one of them, I forget which, can only use EMMC or SD Card, not both).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aostl:
The op clearly states that the video camera doesn't work. Myself and probably everybody else following this thread understood that prior to flashing the Rom. That's why its not constructive to post that the camcorder is broken. And I was asking if you did a FULL wipe I.e. davlik and battery stats; not just checking the wipe box in Rom manager. It can make a big difference.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
Hmmm, I think I've discovered the devil that is killing 3G.

WiFi. It kills my 3G connection every single time I enable it. When I disable my WiFi connection the 3G icon just doesn't come back on until I do a reboot. So maybe that's a point people who know a lot more about this specific area could take to heart and investigate.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KGBxxx:
There are many. Unless he knows what he's doing or you're going to be his personal tech support don't flash.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Eh? The only bug I've run into is the camcorder, but that's a known issue. What bugs are you referring to? Have I missed something?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] igknighted:
Weird, it works fine for me (jumping from wifi to 3G and back). Which kernel are you using? I flashed Chad's kernel instead of the stock one, perhaps try that if you haven't already?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ChadHughes:
Damn, it feels good to know people are having a lot of success after using my tips! Post any problems you have or pm me and I will research , tear the Rom down and find a fix.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] weallareone:
this bug is annoying!

:(

U cant use the dialer within a call... when you dial a number and need to use the touch tone menu to select an item.. it doesn't register the presses... i love this rom except for that... but it is a deal breaker.... works after a reboot but fails after...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
That's the one I'm using. The moment I saw HAVS in his kernel description, I almost peed.

I downloaded the rom again, wiped and flashed, and so far no issues with it now. I think there might have been something broken somewhere. This is such a satisfying rom. I'm bummed that the HTC Sense.com app slows the hell outta this. It was fine two releases ago. Oh well.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smwoodward:
if you will change to long tones in the settings, that fixes that issue.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scottylove:
Hey just noticed something... Anything having to do with reading off the drive of the phone is really slow. Examples: Loading the list on Manage Applications takes forever, fix permissions takes way longer than on stock/virtuous, and also installing/uninstalling apps causes a good 5-6 second freeze of the phone per app (which then returns to normal). It's super fast in between all of these sorts of actions, which is so confusing. Running chads kernel 11/28, but same thing happened on ziggys new one. Edit: also background syncing causes this slowdown too.

Also, if anyone is having constant choppiness, I renamed the MyHtc.apk to disable the DashboardService which was causing some serious slowdown even though i hadn't synced a htcsense.com account. The only thing this disables is downloading things from the htc hub or syncing with htcsense.com.

Everything else about this ROM blows me away tho! Amazing job ID, just wanted to let the issues be known! Hope this helps somebody else too.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
Ahhhhh, finally! I am now fully satisfied.

Edit: Hmmm... XDA won't let me upload pictures.

Edit from Comp: There we go. Yes, there are two, I just wanted to make sure it would work. One was a png and the other a jpeg.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KGBxxx:
Same here
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
Strange. Must be an XDA App only issue. Server work maybe?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] domesdkg:
My contact photos aren't loading in sms, anyone else having this issue?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xwera43:
Has anyone found a fix for MMS/3G with an Incredible ;) while Wi-Fi is on (works fine with Wi-Fi off)? Tried backed up APN's & stock HTC kernel... No go.

How can I get rid of the percentage in my battery? Been trying to and its driving me insane.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nirvana84jcw:
I just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work. I am going to be showing this ROM off!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] liquidi3ladz:
I dont think on VZW your ever able to send MMS over Wifi, its always over 3g or 1x.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mycomputerisjunk:
Anyone know how to acquire the stock kernel? The kernel in 1.1 eats battery way too fast. My internal system process averages 24% CPU usage, when I used the stock kernel in 2.6, it never went much beyond 1%.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zalez:
+1 this updated rom with ziggy's kernel is sucking the life out of my battery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mp3sum:
This for me as well. Chad's is a moderate improvement.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] goinontilt:
Forgive my ignorance, but I clicked the link in one of the opening posts with the zip file, but i got nothing. A new window opened, but it was blank.

What am I missing?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] inittowinit:
Usually it opens a window and then starts a download in your notification bar. This is how you download the file.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] goinontilt:
It did that, but I saw no window asking if I wanted to run/save and where to like most of the download files. Do i just leave the blank screen up for x amount of time? How will i know when/where this DLs to?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] najaboy:
To say your initial rudeness was unintentional would be intellectually dishonest at best. It's akin to spitting directly in someone's face and then saying it was an accident. Such overt action is not happenstance, so let's just call it what it actually was- intentionally posted in a frustrated moment of haste, but regrettable in retrospect.

Regardless, this little tangent is insignificant and detracts from the topic at hand. Back to legitimate discussion of this ROM...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] incubus26jc:
same thing happened to me. I right clicked on it and clicked open in new tab and it started the download.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] najaboy:
Rom Manager > Download ROM > Virtuous > Virtuous Stock Kernel
[Droid Incredible Android Development] goinontilt:
Perfect. that did the trick. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] obededom:
can I flash 1.1 directly over 0.2.6 with no wipe?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] inittowinit:
I did with no problems, but as the instructions say, you should do a full wipe before install. Good luck.
