Question so doin a FULL wipe will fix things ok my question is if I do a backup then a full wipe the reinstall my previous backup will that work or it just saves the last settings?

Its not a big deal to reinstall my apps just asking.

Plz anyone
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stryder5:
I thought it was supposed to be 644 and had it as such. Modified to 655 didn't help.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johnsonrod27:
Does a full wipe wipe all my apps and everything? Is that the difference?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
Yeah, it's 644, lol. Sorry, brain fart. As far as it still not working, sucks. I've only tried to use it on my CM6.1, and it works, so I dunno if it's the same for Sense based builds
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
Depends on what app you're using to backup, and what you're restoring. If you just backup apps, and their data, you should be fine, unless one of the apps is causing your headache.

Yes, a full wipe wipes everything
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johnsonrod27:
Ive yet to figure out how to properly backup and restore with titanium. Its very confusing, i dont know what to hit . Is there a better app to basically hit one thing and it saves everything another button restores it? Unless im just looking at titanium wrong. . .
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ShanksG1:
I'm refering to making a rom backup via clockworkmod

If I do a backup then a full wipe then restore the room will it be the same as putting the previous issue back on the phone
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
Only thing I use Titanium for, is apps and their data. Like, installed apps. I don't use it for any system info, so no Messages, Emails, Contacts, etc. Only apps that I've installed, like NFS, Root Explorer, Angry Birds, etc. If that's all you're doing, you really should be fine. If you want to backup stuff like Messages, there are apps on the market that do that for you. Emails, not sure. Same with Contacts.

There are other app and sms backup apps, though I personally use Titanium just for my apps

Yes.

Did you reboot?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ShanksG1:
ok got it, ill do a full wipe then restart. if the issue comes back ill try the mms fix.

For the guy having swype issues, try this method: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9362752&postcount=435

Any word on htcsense.com?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kwes:
I was having problems with my mms at first. You can fix it easy. Go to your Settings - then Wireless & Networks. Scroll down and go to Mobile Networks (APNs). Go to Access Point Names - then Simple. Scroll down to Authentication Type. Choose PAP or CHAP. Thats it and your mms is working.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stryder5:
I tried to pull up Swype first and got the error. A subsequent reboot didn't help.

That was essentially what I did, but through terminal commands. However, I tried Swype out before rebooting, which may have messed something up.

Does htcsense.com not work for you?

Hey im fairly new to this whole flashing roms....

I rooted my phone without breaking it...i also flashed this rom onto it.

I was wondering if there is a way to maybe overclock my phone with this rom??

It feels sorta slow with this rom at 800mhz....

Thank you guys.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thenotoriouspie:
You didnt read the change log did you? Use setcpu to overclock the rom.

3.0 Gallery

Is there a way to replace the stock gallery with the 3.0 version from Unity?

I tried pushing with ADB with no luck
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
I'm not sure, but I had similar problems with trying to doing the other way around. I was attempting to replace the Unity gallery with the Sense 2.1 version.

Good luck with making it work, but beware. I think the Sense 3 gallery uses quite a bit of memory and for me, it was usually the thing that precipitated the low memory manager in Gingerbread killing off other tasks prematurely in Virtuous Unity 1.xx.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] _nobody:
love this rom, but can anyone make the gingerbread battery with percent flashable? i've seen a rom on mt4g has it in a rosie rom

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Srkineo:
Thank you Virtuous team for making my DesireZ perfect:D

After trying alot of roms, rly like all sense 2.1 ones and the Desire S ports.. this is the smoothest rom ive tested.. I hate the CPU usage while syncing (also visible on the screenshot, but thats HTC's work.. not virtuous). Its just so much faster then the Virtuous Unity, only reason I switched.

I just decided to share what patches I used to customize this rom:

mail_sec_patch.zip = no security policy from exchange servers (so you can keep lock pattern instead of key-code)

the two UOT Files: 1 & 2make the glow effects and adds Sense 3 USB menu + boot and down animations.

CRT-Animation-Vision_Gingerbread_Sense.zip gives Amber LED bug after opening and closing the keyboard.. install Light Flow (dont even need settings).

Extended_Settings_and_Transparency.zip

Kingdom_Lockscreen-0.17.zip

Sense3_WeatherPack-0.13.zip

VirtuousOverclockController.apk along with:

UNITY_V4_2.6.35.13_OC1708_UV900_SLQB_CIFS_TUN_VR_EXT4_2WCR.zip OC'd to 1670400 <3 it

I got an annoying issue... it happens at random but when I close the keyboard, the screen says loading for a long second and then the dockbar switches to landscape mode (right side) and doesn't go back! I've to reboot the phone to get it back to normal, this happens like 2 or 3 times a day. Is there a fix?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Srkineo:
its a problem in your rosie.. for me the rosie I posted above solved this problem
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
srkineo, do you happen to be able to get exchange to work properly? Everytime i try to set up my exchange account (free hotmail) and all i get is failure to auto sync and only a random number of emails are shown (instead of 2 weeks) and it doesn't even sync status when i delete stuff....

would your exchange security mod fix that problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Srkineo:
I dont think hotmail is exchange.. im taling about a business exchange server with that patch.. and I dont think thats its the same protocol as hotmail... I think hotmail can be sync'd with the IMAP protocol.. and if you pay em you will get pop3 r something?

I hope someone else has a suggestion!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
m.hotmail.com is the exchange server for hotmail/live ! :cool:

also be sure to check all certification boxes (if asked) I'm using Enhanced Email... but the stock application should work fine (it hates more than 1 exchange accounts though...)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
srkineo, surprisingly hotmail uses exchange as well. The problem is that HTC's modified mail app can't do exchange to save its life

@ snowookami, yes i know, but trying to do exchange with HTC"s mail app is just... not working... ive tried this too many times to go back to it again. the results are the same as i mentioned above.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
If you really value good pushmail (like me) you should buy Enhanced Email (avail @ market). I'm using both Gmail and Live for push and 2 pop3 accounts... the stock app really sucks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
I honestly really like how the HTC mail app looks and works, it's just the sheer stupidity of these tech heads not even know how to fix exchange problems....

EDIT: that and I also wanted to have 1 unified email inbox... i'll take a look at enhanced email though...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
anyone else have the issue with the messaging app not showing the names of the people who send messages?

when i compose, I see their name and type to them and send... then it switches to their number instead.

Also, even with LIGHTFLOW app, the Notification LED stays on a lot.

Also, tasks do not seem to be killed automatically when not in use. Unity 1.31.0 kills tasks gracefully and I usually only have myhomescreen running (which is great).

Battery life is great until LED and Apps stay running.

Any insight?

Hi Guys!

I love this rom, it is installed on my Vision and on the Vision of my gf, but i have some "questions"...

Postet them Yesterday in the morning on the Virtuous Forum after the dev said that there will be no support on xda... Not even got one answer until now, so i thought i could post it on xda also, maybe someone here can help me...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] waydownsouth:
Number 1 & 2, you can decompile the framework-res.apk with apk manager & edit the values in res/values/arrays.xml

you should be able to find the relevant keys in there pretty easily...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
@viper number 7: perhaps you can log out of the Facebook for sense, or just unsync it. I heard that it causes a bit of battery drain. I don't use weather also. I get about a day's worth of battery life, sometimes less. Well I don't talk much, I do txt a few times a day, plus I have gmail, Twitter, Google plus, and some other processes running in the background. Hope that helps :)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] azrash:
yeap, what I do is to set all the low priority snyced apps to sync only once a day, that helps to reduce battery usage. or use auto sync widget, enable it only when necessary (i use this when battery is <40%)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] viper2097:
Hi Guys, thank you for all your reply's!

@xT4Z1N4TRx :

Thank you for your help, I will pm you that you don't forget, but I think it would be better to tell it here in the topic, maybe it will also help some other guy's?

@waydownsouth:

Thank you, sounds also very good and i think i can handle this, but at least, i will try ;)

Do i really need apk manager? Can't I just open the framework-res.apk with winrar and save it also with winrar in "save only" mode?

What programm would be the best / easiest to do changes in the arrays.xml?

@0.0 & azrash: Please don't missunderstand me, i don't have a problem with the battery drain, i LOVE it! It lasts for me a day without a problem while turned on everything i need ;) I had to put my old HD2 everyday around 18:00 on the charger, so i really LOVE this Device & Rom ;)

i just copied the framework-res.apk from my phone to the computer, renamed it to zip and opend it.

I have the folder "res" but inside, there is none folder called "values", also i can't find a "arrays.xml" in the whole framework-res.apk
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] waydownsouth:
This is why it needs to be decompiled, once that's done you'll see the folder/files...

From there you can edit the xml files in a regular text editor... (using notepad++ if you are on Windows.)

you might get better answers if you ask the devs directly. head over to their IRC channel here http://j.mp/ns4fkO

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] viper2097:
I'm not familiar with irc and it don't hurry that much...

I just want to optimize the backlight for dark rooms, because I think it's way too bright... Also there are standing the same values more times, maybe the backlight also could become smoother...

Z-device tester shows me values from 40 to 10240 lux for the optical sensor, are this the same values like in the xml file?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] viper2097:
Just if anyone is intressted:

In a dark room, my DZ is putting the brigthness automaticly only to ~75%. Altough I'm completely satisfied with the battery drain, I think this would be a thing that could really get much improved, also for not so hurting the eyes when showing a white background on the display in a dark room ;)

I will really try to fix this over the weekend and upload the result here. Maybe one or two faboulus guys from this faboulus forum can help me a bit out because I'm not really a dev or even a kind of ;) I'm just a guy who wants to get things perfect and I'm very intressted in learning ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] waydownsouth:
The config_autoBrightnessLevels are the levels that the sensor can detect...

IIRC when I was running a sense ROM, I set the values in the up & down arrays to be the same as the config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues (decreased to some more sensible values of course)

Seemed to work without problems. :)

It was a while ago now, so, my memory of this may be a little bit fuzzy.

Be sure to post how you get on... would be interested in your results.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] viper2097:
Thank you, you are a big help to me in this thing, and of course i will post my progress and hopefully also a solution ;)

Ok, i think this up and down values are maybe some thing of a hysteresis (? Also correct in english?) that should prevent the backlight from jumping around... Will also read me tomorrow trough the thread i postet before, i think it contains maybe also some interessting things, but for now, I need to go to bed to charge myself for work tomorrow ;) So good night to everyone in my timezone ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] waydownsouth:
FYI, A thread detailing the whole procedure just popped up...

[Tutorial] How to Modify Android AutoBacklight Characteristics

HTH :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] viper2097:
Hi guys!

At first, sorry for double and tripple posting, but i think this is better than always editing my last post...

I made a few steps forward so far ;)

i checked the light sensor values according to my enviorment and then turned the screen manualy to a value that would fit this...

this i found out:

The sensor values are 0,10,40,90,160,225,320,640,1280,2600,10240

The brightness of the phone can be adjustet from 0-255

In a dark room, e.g. lying in bed: sensorvalue between 0 and 90, backlight should be ~10%

In my office: sensorvalue between 320 and 1280, backlight should be around 30% to 40%

when i get outside (its very cloudy today) the sensor jumped immediately on 10240, so i think this is neccessary to set the brightness here on 100%

So I made a chart with the original sensor values and put my "optimised" inside them, i also edited the arrays.xml to my new values. I also cahnged the values for the button and keypad, because I think they need to light up earlier. But I'm still not sure for what that "-1" stands for... So i just moved down the whole values...

In the thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1034743, the guy used for the up and down levels the same values as for the backlightvalue, so I'm still thinking that they are used for a hysteresis or something like this. I will also try it at first with the same values, because as in the thread written, it supose to work...

So what do you guys think about that?

I'm still not sure how to get the file back in my phone...

quoted from the other thread:

Step 16 - 21 are clear for me

But step 22 to 25... is this zipalign thing neccessary? At the moment I'm not realy sure what does zipalign means exactly and also not sure about if this rom is zipaligned...

After that, for testing, i do a nand-backup, copy the framework-res.apk to the phone, set the permissions the same as they are in the original framework-res.apk and then copy it over the original one. normaly the phone should restart immediately and I only have to hape that it boots up correct and not get in a boot loop ;) or?

If everything works as i want, I also will maybe do a flashable zip and give it also to the devs that they could maybe build it in their roms in future...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] viper2097:
Thank you, funny that this thread pops up just today *gg* ;)

But ok, there are one thing that i dont understand at the moment...

What about that zipalign and signing? Everytime i read another thread, it says other things to do...

one time zipalign, one time not

one time sign, one time not sign because it's a system apk....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] viper2097:
Hy Guys!

GOOOOOOOD NEWS ;)

I managed it ;)

In the attachement you can find the original framework-res.apk and my modified one.

I think my modified one works really good as i can say it after 5 minutes testing ;)

Theres just a strange thing that the original one from my device have about 6mb and my one only 3, but as far as i can say it now, it works. (I zipaligned my one, maybe the original one isn't it? Or maybe the file grows by the time using the phone?)

Only maybe in a dark room the display is a bit too dark, but please try it and give me feedback!

I'm not responsible if you brick your device or anything similiar. The way to do it:

1. copy my modified framework to your sd-card

2. rename it to framework-res.apk

3. copy it to data/system

4. set permissions to 644Click me!

5. copy it to data/system/framework

6. you will get one or two forcecloses, just ignore them and reboot the device

ATTENTION: This is still a test framework, i will try to make a flashable zip, also you will loose any theme you applied. Also i have the "extendet settings and no last used programms" in status bar patch installed, i think that you will ahve this also after flashing, so don't forget to make a nandroid backup and a backup of your framework-res.apk before flashing!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Niksie:
I am willing to try this, but its a lot easyer to flash it trough cwm.

Did you manage to make it a flashable zip??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Untested flashable zip http://db.tt/1kiBYML
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Niksie:
THANKS!

Flashing now....

EDIT:

- Brightness in a dark is indeed a bit to low (to me).

- Still seeing last apps in pulldownmenu

- Extended settings not there in pulldownmenu.

- Notificationbar has the same powerpercentage as the G-Lite rom

BTW: i flashed it on top of RMK40's untouched gingerbread sense.

EDIT2: I attached the file that cjward23 made (Thanks for that) and the file to restore it to standard. (both are flashable).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] viper2097:
I did not made a flashable zip because the UOT Kitchen had a a wait time of 43 cookings when I done this. If the flashable zip from Cjward23 also works, this would be great ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] waydownsouth:
Nice one!

Glad you got there, hope you found it to be a rewarding experience :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] viper2097:
Yes, it was, and also a big thank for your help ;)

@niksie: ok, intressting, I always thought that the changes for the extendet settings and the "no last programs" patch also do this over the framework-res... But good to hear that this is not affected by this...

will wait for the feedback from some other users and then make a optimised optimised version ;) maybe the devs would also like to use this then intheir rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
The no apps in the notification bar and extended settings is in SystemUI.apk
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] viper2097:
@cjward23: ok, thank you for the info!

I made a second one today. this time it is a bit brighter in dark rooms.

Please try it if you like and give me feedback.

This time i already have a flashable zip ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crazyC:
OK - now I am a little confused - although it is friday afternoon and its been a long week....

I would really like to try this. It looks like excellent work.

BUT - I have CJWards transparent pulldown bar with no recently used programs and the extended settings, I also have a battery %age mod from UOT.

Which if any, of the above will I lose by flashing this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Niksie:
Flashed it, seems fine. Brightness is a lot better in dark rooms....

@crazyc: you will loose all modifications done to the framework not the systemui.apk (last apps and settings in the pulldownmenu)
