Virtous is not slower than the original HTC Sense on Desire-Z. It's even faster (from the second boot).

But you wrote your wake issues are poping with every rom, which means you are overclocking every rom i guess.

You should act in two steps:

1. First, remove absolutely every overclocker or tweaker that could change the CPU speed. Let it run 1 day. You should have no more wake issue. If you still have, please report.

2. If your wake issues disappeared at step 1, you will now configure your overclocker as fine as possible so to avoid wake issues. I advise you CPUTuner, really. And for how to configure it, come back here when you're ready and we'l help you. The most important thing is to let the screen off profile enough room of power to wake up, and also make the max screen off frequency as near as possible to the min standard frequency so that the gap is not too high.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shadowmoses:
I too am having wake issues i have flashed the advanced kernel but i havent oc my device at all with it. Maybe its the kernel and not only that but i haven had wake issues with any other rom. Its pretty annoyin but i love this rom. Help plz?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chchia:
some suggestion for screen wake problem:

1. use only CPU Tuner, dont use SetCPU.

2. do not overclock too much, not every cpu is capable to run at high speed. try to overclock step by step as what same with overclocking PC cpu.

3. do not set your screen off frequency too low, try to set screen off frequency from 246~786 with conservative.

4. for normal usage frequency, 1217MHz is fast enough to handled all daily work, if you want to go higher, please make sure you have a good cpu that can do that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shadowmoses:
@Chchia see thats what im sayin i have the oc advanced kernel but im not oc at all setcpu isnt even installed. But i would try your suggestion for the wake frequency but im not sure how to do that took a quick look iin settings and didnt see any options for it. Do i need to install setcpu or the other one you mentioned to change the frequency of the wake?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
Wel if you have no overclocker installed, then your wake issue isn't a matter of frequency.

Until now, i didn't hear about a wake issue at standard speeds.

Well, the CPU IS overclocked on standard kernel, but so lightly (from 800 to 997) that it wouldn't be that i suppose.

If you install the stock kernel (from ROM Manager you cna do that) instead of a virtuous one, does it solves your problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Delta105RUS:
@Ninj

thanks for the info
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JCreations:
It isn't the overclock that causes the wake issues. It's the underclock during screen off in the standard virtuous kernel that creates the issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
One thing that seems to occur on a consistent basis, is that when I'm powering down my phone (shutdown or reboot) that the following happens...

- screen goes black

- soft keys stay lit up for almost 10 seconds

- phone finally shuts down or reboots

Does this happen to anyone, and if so any ideas on how to resolve this? I've even gone the full route of doing a complete wipe and fresh flashing of Virtuous 1.0.1, once with the standard kernel and once with the advanced kernel. Same thing happens for both.

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shadowmoses:
@ninj

Thanks for the response im gonna try that.

@dustrho

Yea im havin the same issue here

The one guy said something about underclock when the screen is off is there a way to adjust it for when its off. I hope the next release fixes this issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
I want to stress that I don't have problems waking up the phone (yes, it does happen from time-to-time, but hasn't been an issue for me), but the problem is when I'm either shutting the phone off or when I reboot it. It takes 10-15 total seconds to get the phone into an un-powered state.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] edwill44:
Think of your phone as a computer. The phone is saving info and then unmounting the sd card. It's been a while but I think it does the same on the stock rom well.

Sent from my G2 with Sense on the XDA Premium app
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JCreations:
If you dont need the overclock, just use the stock kernel from htc. It resolves any issues you might have that is oc related.

If you do want to you an overclock and having wake issues, you can use the advanced kernel from RMK. Just make your own screen off profile with a underclock of 400 something instead of the 200 something underclock. This should resolve your wake issues.

See this post for more information: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=967153
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
There's nothing to resolve here, as it is not a problem. Part of the normal shutdown process is to commit pending writes, flush caches and gracefully shut down services. Even if this took 20 seconds, I can't understand why it would be an issue for anyone. We're talking about a user-initiated disruption of the phone (reboot, shutdown), not something that occurs during normal usage.

The other factor at play is that Sense supports hibernate. The delay could very well be writing the entire contents of memory to storage. Point is, this is all by design and not a problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
hi, i posted this question a few pages back but had no replies. I'm having trouble using exchange server with my hotmail account. when it would allow me to create my one and only hotmail account, it will constantly refresh itself and essentially spamming me with the one email that is new and also take around 10% of my battery life to get anything done. In the end, it wouldn't even download the first 3 days of emails that I have. I'm at a loss and I have no idea what to do with it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shadowmoses:
@ jcreations

Hey yea u and ninj said the same thing i posted a reply earlier stating how i flashed the stock kernel from the op since i wasnt oc anyway jus flashed the kernel incase i wanted to later. But i flashed the stock and now wake issues are no longer an issue so thanks to you and ninj for this suggestion. Mad props.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
Ah ok, i didn't know the standard Virtous kernel had a screenoff builtin profile. Would be nice to raise a little its speed then ;)

My screen wake issues were only gone with that screenoff profile (CPUTuner):

Interactive governor, min freq 476, max freq 806.

I know it's a pain to have so high frequencies for screenoff but interactive does a good job here, probably keeping it at 476 as much as possible...

Notification Bar

First off, let me say thanks for an amazing ROM. My girlfriend had me looking for weeks for a good Sense ROM, and we both love this.

My question/concern is, I've noticed this consistently on 4 G2's, even after wiping the device and not installing anything, the notification bar has some hesitancy. You'll swipe down and it'll be 3-6 seconds before the bar comes down, but once it does, it works perfectly. Is there anything I'm doing wrong here, or anything I can do to fix this? Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
You know, this will seem weird to you- but I read here that installing the power control mod will for some reason make the phone operate much quicker and reduce lag throughout the OS... and it actually does work.

I was ready to go back to 1.0.0 until someone here mentioned it (thanks! mysterious person), but then I tried it after a back up just for the hell of it, and WOW... phone is like lightning.

Before the power control mod, it would hesitate to end calls, or I would press the button and it would end the call 5 seconds later. Making calls, hitting app shortcuts, etc etc... After the power control mod, it's instant. I couldn't even drag down the bar without getting frustrated as it hung up for 4 seconds or stuck itself to the middle of the screen, causing me to go back and hit it again and again until it worked or the phone caught up to my touch-inputs... But after the mod, it no longer suffers from this. It seems to have fixed a lag issue with touch inputs as a whole.

I even had a tech savvy friend ask "is the phone always this fast" after doing the mod. I really makes a huge difference for some reason.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
what power control mod are you talking about? do you mind providing a link or a full name?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s0epkip:
Lol, exactly... tell us what mod you are talking about!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
Yeah, you got me interested as well in this "power mod."
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jankypr:
You can find it in ROM Manager, under the Miscelaneous section of Virtuous
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
I just. Hecked rom manager. No dice. I dont see any "miscallaneous" section in it. Is it part of the premium app? Is there a specific name to it that would help me locate it. Or r u referring to virtuous buddy?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
It's under Modifications, not miscellaneous. I just installed the one by mrjuje and hope that's the right one.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jankypr:
ROM Manager -> Download ROM -> Virtuous -> Modifications -> Download -> Install Power Control Mod
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
Double post.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jankypr:
You're welcome!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
Thanks. I just dled it. Will test it out to see if it makes a difference.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
I downloaded it & installed it, and I didn't experience anything positive with it. Sure, it integrates the power control widget into the pull down bar, but it actually slowed my phone down & started eating up my battery. I did a nandroid restore back to my previous state.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hellorufino:
Immediate difference with the notification bar, and overall speed! Hopefully this does the trick long term, even if it does have an impact on battery life, I carry two batteries anyway. Can't wait to get this installed on the g/f's phone. Thanks!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] csufmedina1:
I notice a difference as well with the power control mod..way faster...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
I have a few Extended Control widgets that I prefer to use (they're on the first homescreen to the right, so either way, one swipe away). I wonder how big of a deal it would be to *REMOVE* that top part altogether - like on stock Android, have neither recent apps NOR power control? Shouldn't that speed things up even more?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
Careless, I would have some remarks here.

First of all, your phone was incredibly too laggy for a normal use, before to flash this mod. That was already clearly an issue. Did you try, at this time, wiping cache and Dalvik cache? When you flash the Power Control Mod, it cleares them, that could be an explanation. Also that means that this mod probably has almost no (if not at all) incidence on your phone's speed. However, it indeed speeds up the top bar, i agree (maybe the "recent apps" feature was a pain).

Also, for Orange Bandit and others, you should read that this mod is fully configurable. You must edit two text files for that, in a very easy way. Orange Bandit, removing all would probably speeds up *a little* the bar itselfs, but not the phone. Not in a noticeable way at least.

And finally, here's the thread about the mod:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=901540

NOTE: if you use, or wish to use, the UOT kitchen (which i advise you), always do it in this order:

- flash the Power Control Mod

- THEN use your framework.apk from your phone to pass it through the UOT kitchen

Enjoy!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrEzzzkiel:
Something is messed up here... My phone won't connect to any 3g-network with this ROM... There's something with both this rom AND the new Incredible S port... I really do not understand why I have to have these problems as the only user on this board... Seriously, what could it be? I've tried 3 different radios and I've tried wiping from recovery before flashing... Several times, that is...

And still no luck!

Thx for the work, dev, but do you know what might cause this? When flashing your 2.3 untouched rom, the phone will connect to UMTS-network, but with this rom and the Incredible S port it will only accept EDGE?

There must be some kind of fix for either this rom or the other? :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] marka2k:
Question: have you done a speed test to see what the actual speed is? Maybe the E is not changing to 3g?

Also did you verify that the Network Mode is set to Auto and not to GSM Only?

Just a thought
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] songsong69:
i got a serious problem

after using apps, i press home/back button, it doesnt come back to home screen, it shows a HTC boot ( white screen with green HTC in the middle), after several of minutes,the sentence LOADING appears and it start to reload all the apps and widgets, it looks like we restart the device

i need help :( :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pyro9219:
I just wanted to throw in my two cents on this...

I'm so glad this mentioned, the speed improvement has been incredible, even if it's mostly due to the dalvik cache being wiped.

One thing I'm not sure about.. but it seems that either my sync is no longer working, or the icon is no longer animated after doing this... I can't tell which.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
Actually, i experience this as well, but i can tell you that the phone did not restart. It was simply reloading sense. I would, though, like to find a way to stop sense from being shut down and reloaded whenever i run some other apps (this happens randomly, so it isnt specific to any one app)

Im currently using ZDBox for task management and i dont see sense in it, so i have no idea how i can exclude it from the kill list nor do i know if it's zdbox or android's own task manager.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bloodlvst:
Fresh install but I can't use internet.

I can sometimes sync, but barely. Internet browser won't even load Google. I'm using the stock radio - 12.28b.60.140eP_26.03.02.26_M

I'm on the Bell network.

EDIT: Updated Radio to 26.04.02.17, still nothing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] songsong69:
i install ADW Ex and my phone becomes very fast at all, but i like sense really dont want to use another launcher. i have flashed 3 ROM: rom port from Desire S, shokoushi saga, and virtuous. but there's no difference :( i got this problem all the time :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] luis86dr:
So how close are we to a release of virtous with sense 2.3? Just curious.

[G2/HTC Vision]
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
There's an alpha build on the irc channel for it, but I haven't installed it. Virtuous isn't a port like other ROMs - they *only* use official HTC releases and tweak them (hence the lack of some 'extra features' that other ROMs offer.

That being said, there is only 1 'official' HTC release (it's just a test version) of Gingerbread with Sense. HTC publicly said the Desire Z would see an official update to Gingerbread in Q2 2011, which runs from April-June, so they've got a few months yet. RMK40 has stated previously in the thread that he's not going to devote too much time to new releases based on a 'test' version of the official HTC ROM (as well he shouldn't). A test ROM means they're actively working towards a release ROM. It wouldn't make sense for him to base a new version on a test ROM, since it's inevitable that there'll be another updated release soon anyways.

I would say that RMK40 will probably have a new version of Virtuous available within 2-3 weeks after the first official release version of the HTC ROM is available (note, 'available' is usually a few weeks before it actually starts hitting devices).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LaCroix:
is anybody willing to compile the tun.ko for the current release?

I'm currently stuck when loading the tun-device:

# ls -al /dev/|grep tun

# modprobe tun
modprobe: chdir(/lib/modules): No such file or directory

I'm running on the current Rom without any changes:

The kernel is the 2.6.32.21-g132894e for which i haven't found a fitting tun.ko. Maybe i have to load it differently?

Thanks in advance!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Use either the standard or advanced kernel, which both have the tunnel module built-in.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] LaCroix:
Thanks for your reply, I'm using the kernel shipped with the release, so I guess it's the standard kernel.

Shouldn't I be able to see it in /dev/tun then? Or modprobe it? Or do I just have to execute mknod to create the device?

Thanks in advance!

Try reflashing the ROM without a wipe. I remember having similar issues after flashing 1.01 for the first time, so i reflashed it.

I don't think so, with so many Virtuous user we would know such an issue!

What exactly did you do for factory reset? did you reflash the rom afterwards?

Also have you set up another video player app as your default app?
