G2 / Vision Changlog

Version 2.0.0

Full wipe is REQUIRED for this release. Do not restore “system data” with Titanium after a full wipe, it defeats the purpose.

Re-based the entire ROM on the official Gingerbread DZ base (WWE 2.42.405.2).

Added the latest Virtuous Sense Gingerbread kernel, v3.1.0.

Implemented Virtuous Overclocking daemon.

Screen Off: 245760 / 599040 (conservative)

Screen On: 245760 / 998400 (ondemand)

Upgrade to ext4 filesystem, using writeback journaling and other optimizations.

Added auto battery calibration script (from Virtuous Unity).

Added memory management optimizations.

Added boot animation from Virtuous Unity.

Upgraded to the new Android Market.

Updated all Market apps with the latest versions.

Re-implemented advanced power menu (thanks seo).

Re-implemented trackpad wake.

Re-implemented conditional installation of wifi calling (T-Mobile USA only).

Re-implemented SIP over mobile networks.

Re-implemented keyboard fixes on the G2. The com/www key works properly

but you should use alt+com/www for symbols.

Added new battery icons, which are the same style as G-Lite. This can optionally

be reverted by creating a file on your sdcard in the virtuous_sense/ directory

called use_stock_theme.

Added support for auto-installed user applications. Place them in the

virtuous_sense/app.user directory on your sdcard to have them installed

on the next boot.

Swype is no longer included.

That's weird. All I know that if you power off and turn it back on within a short amount of time, it turns on instantly. That's what happened to me on another sense ROM

Go into setting - power and turn off fast boot. It should work then I think.

i may have found the issue with the small mms pics. the culprit could be the gallery. so what i did was adb push the Gallery3D from a cm7 rom. i clicked on a mms pic, it asked me which app to use. i picked the gallery3D and the pic was bigger, but a bit blurry. still, better than having small pic :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
If you find the CoreDroid thread in this forum, the mms zip found there worked for me.

it says "wipe data" so first I tried simply using titanium backup to wipe the green apk [SMS/MMS Prefs], then rebooted into recovery.

I sent several photo mms to my boss today and they worked, as opposed to not working at all before.

Edit: I see the issue has been addressed a number of times, including an official fix from rmk. I guess we should ALL use the search function before posting...even me! Lol

is there no way to get any virtuous roms or even unity rom
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xyrcncp:
Has anyone experienced the Mobile Network not reconnecting after being on Airplane Mode? This has happened to me twice already. I put the phone on airplane mode, a few hours later, take if off it and it won't connect to the mobile network. Just get the bars but no 'E', '3G' or 'H'. The quick settings (on the notification bar) show it as "Connecting to mobile network..." but nothing. Only a reboot will fix it. This may get skipped, but I'll see.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
thats the regular htc system... but with 5 in 1 reboot solution aint it supposed to be that hibernate take us into that mode and shutdown button shutdown the phone completely regardless that box is ticked in settings or not.....

or am i missing something here?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vicente fernandez:
Link doesn't work. :/ anyone mind giving me one that works?

Is unity seriously dead?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
This has happened to me occassionally across multiple roms, your phone is not registering with the network. For me changing radios has reduced the frequency of this problem. Try rmk's suggested radios on pg 1 of this thread if you are not already using them.

For a fix, instead of rebooting, try toggling airplane mode on and then off. For me this always works.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
for now it is dead. This thread is for Virtuous Sense 2.0 though. Not unity. If you want more information, I have answered this on the general DZ forum and RMK's response.

More Sense 3 Lockscreen findings when applied to Virtuous Sense 2

Just to expand on this question a bit, and the fact that I might want to show off the sense 3 lockscreen to impress friends this weekend, I did a bit of testing:

Here's what I found:

Friendstream Lockscreen: The Sense 3 lockscreen install replaces the stock htc facebook/twitter apks with its own. For the Friendstream lockscreen to work properly, this is necessary because dragging a Friendstream status 'window' into the lock ring using the stock apks causes the lockscreen to freeze.

Mms.apk: The stock text messaging apk is not compatible with seo's Sense 3 lockscreen in that when you get a new message, the lockscreen will not show the message and the sender is 'Unknown' in the notification window.

Trackpad 'glow' notifications: It turns out the trackpad LED 'glow' needs the Vision mms.apk to tell it to glow. So instead of the glow notification for a new text, with the lockscreen-compatible messages app you'll get the blinking green LED at the top (which actually blinks longer than the glow so that might be a plus). I think the same is also true of missed calls. As the HTC maill app is left alone, that has the default notification behaviour (you get both a glow and green LED blink).

And as a side-note, seo released an alternative Mms.apk with no chat bubbles for people who didn't like that theming. Although I haven't tried it, it's unlikely to have the vision trackpad 'glow' notification either. It's here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14419407&postcount=2502

Bottom line: Just confirming what should be obvious. Yes, the replaced components inside the sense 3 lockscreen zip are necessary for the Sense 3 lockscreen to work properly and some components might break the trackpad glow :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
the apks for the lockscreen is understandable. but i did not even know that some of them break the glowing trackpad! its kind of a deal breaker to me... the htc kingdom doesnt have a trackpad right? so it makes sense that the glowing trackpad will break. now im contemplating what to do...keep the sense 3 lockscreen, or go back to how its suppose to be

btw, what do you mean "its own" for the friendstream part? like, its still the same apps, but from the kingdom ROM or a similar one, im assuming?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] more.then.fiction:
The advanced power menu are just shortcuts. If you have fast boot enable the phone will go into sleep mode no matter how you power it down. Go to settings/power/uncheck fastboot for a proper shut down.

Edit: I've been running this rom since it came out and noticed my biggest battery drain is from voice calls. For example a 5min call will eat up about 8%. On the other hand cell standby is very low, which is great. Im running the 4.30 radio. Any ideas?

Other then that is rom is awesome!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] makken85:
Ok, so I completely reflashed the ROM and haven't been able to get the GB style text selection back. does anyone actually have that style of text selection with this ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
"Its own" just meant some apks for "htctwitter" and "htcfacebook" replace the stock ones. I don't know how different they are to the stock apks, other than without them, the Friendstream lockscreen breaks.

I don't think the Kingdom has a trackpad, and neither does the Desire HD (seo's thread is in the DHD forums after all). So yes it does make sense that nobody had a reason to have trackpad LED notification compatibility on their list of priorities.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lord Bodak:
What radios have people tried with 2.0.0? I'm still using the 26.03.02.26 that my phone came with. I see that rmk40 didn't recommend a radio with the new release.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
Another possible bug .... Your in any app or on your home screen . Pressing "s" on hardware keyboard opens sms app .... And pressing "b" opens browser ...

And no I do not have any keyboard buttons shortcuts assigned .....

Can anyone else check and confirm and submit this as bug aswell ... Otherwise correct me if I'm the only one having this issue . BTW I'm on desire z . So G2 users might not face the same situation with these buttons
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lord Bodak:
This happened to me once-- I rebooted and it went away and hasn't happened again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] alexnguyen018:
My two cents on this ROM:

Pros:

- Faster than Sense 3.0 ROMs in general navigation throughout the UI including scrolling through the homescreens and app drawer

- Battery life is pretty good...for my use at least, which includes web browsing, texting, a few calls, music during drives, and gaming throughout the day

- Cyanogenmod battery percentage indicator and icon

Cons:

- Sense 2.1 doesnt have as many cool features as 3.0 does, so the functionality isn't as good as that of Sense 3.0 ROMs. No lockscreen, no additional quick settings in pull down, and no fancy animations like the rosie and 3D scrolling

- Data connection switches from 3G to H quite often, but I also experienced this with Virtuous Unity

Summary:

Virtuous Sense is for those who want a fast Sense experience, as most Sense 3.0 ROMs like Virtuous Unity and Doubleshot are pretty, but quite slow and jerky. If you prioritize speed and fluidity over features, than this ROM will be good for you. Hope this helped.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kowalsfee:
First of all ,great work on this rom, really smooth ,fast and battery-saving.

There still exist some problems: system has no Asian language options ,so we need morelocal for more options; calendar widget FCs when system language is set Chinese, we know this problem comes from offcial WWW RUU, which has been tested.

So,here is my opinion (stands out for many V-rom users in east Asia): will you guys conbines the leak Asia TW RUU ,which contains Asian languages options ,touch-input with handwriting ,no calendar widget FC bug, with the WWW RUU together? I know this calls for more energy and time from your team ,but shouldn't be that difficult.We all want V-rom to be perfect and worldwide, don't we?

Thanks, and really appreciate your bravo work ,you have mine and my friends' in China full support any way.:p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
thanks just restarted and it went away... wondering why it happened in first place though
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DaygosTommyT:
Is there any way to disable rosie rotation? I think it would make it quicker and i'm not a big fan of landscape rosie. I want to make it so rosie doesnt rotate at all with the keyboard out like unity.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Wow, there is a request I never thought I would hear. The only thing that springs to mind is replacing rosie with the rosie from another Rom.

Maybe the one from the desire s port would be a good one to use.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DaygosTommyT:
Haha, yeahh theres a first for everything!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] more.then.fiction:
Just noticed wallpapers dont preview and cant be changed. My phone reports full storage.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
I don't have this problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] denich:
Confirm. Now I have a stock ROM. It is stock bug
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
I don't have this problem. Try hitting the little magnifying glass icon on your keyboard, then see if the problem goes away.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tronar:
I am trying to find that out, too. I also posted a thread in the Q&A section, but so far no response. :(

And unfortunately I still have the issue with the WLAN connection sometimes needing a manually forced reconnect to find my WiFi-router.

Funny enough, I just rebooted my phone and it locked into the WiFi immediately. There seems to be no rule to that behaviour... :confused:

Tronar
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
I'm using 26.10.4.3, and I'm not having any of the wifi issues you describe (none at home nor at work)

The aforementioned radio is the one that this software base was bundled with. YMMV.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] keinengel:
+1 for the radio issues. I took a trip with the train yesterday and had to reboot the phone to get my signal back. I'm also using the radio that came together with the new ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] denich:
Will this ROM work with UNITY v3 kernel? I installed it and it veeeeeetyyyy laaaag
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
For everyone intersted in using the Kingdom Lockscreen, I have always suspected that the sense 3.0 lockscreen is a huge memory killer, and it is.

Finally, I was able to do some tests with this rom, and, sure enough, without said lockscreen, I am able to multitask quite nicely. I can run a 3D game (psx emu), a 2D game (robotek HD) and a browser (opera mobile), freely without any of them, or rosie, reloading.

As soon as I installed the sense 3.0 lockscreen, I could only run one of these apps at a time.

I think, unlike other apps, the lockscreen app stays pinned in the memory, so while your "free mem" looks the same, with the kingdom lockscreen, the "used memory" is permanantly unavailable. Otherwise, your used memory is just other bg/cached apps (maybe from hours ago) that can be killed any time.

Hope someone finds this info useful.

On a side note, I flashed the sense 3.0 weather from the same dhd thread. It works, and no impact on multitasking (though opening weather might kill some stuff, since it is a mem hog too).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crazyC:
I am using the Kingdom lockscreen etc with no issues although I dont usually need to multitask as I play no 3d games on the phone. I use the weather lockscreen by the way.

Something I would like is trackpad sleep as well as wake.

I so far seem to have cured my problems with ringtones changing of their own accord etc.

Quite strangely, my friendstream does not seem to be able to load the preview of the pocketnow website when clicking on a twitter post. friendstream just closes.

All other websites work fine.....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tronar:
Radio Issues

Funny enough my HTC Desire Z is also from O2 Germany, although I am using it in Spain now. I have two WiFi routers here, and it shows this behaviour with both of them (they are identical Fritz.Boxes though).

And I thought after rooting the phone etc. there is not much left from the original software.

Since after de-branding my wife's Vodafone Desire Z and installing Virtuous Sense onto it, there was nothing left anymore that pointed to Vodafone at all.

Anyhow, since according to your signature you are running even the stock WWE, the problem might really be with the radio and not with the Virtuous changes.

Looks like I might indeed have to try out an older Radio, sigh. :rolleyes:

I implemented the sense 3.0 lockscreen and gmail does not get a bubble when I get a email....any ideas? Everything else works fine

Best ROM not just Sense

I just came from CM7 and I LOVE this rom. you did a great job guaranteeing stability and your implementation of Wi-Fi calling is working better than stock. I haven't had many problems with FC's like i did with CM7 so I'm happy.

This says android version is 2.3.3 does that mean this is running sense 2.1 on top of GB?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] snopro21:
I am coming from virtuous 1.02, does this rom work with any radio?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
It's recommend to use one of the gingerbread radios. The one I'm using is proving real good for me. The link for the PC10IMG.zip is in my Sig.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
You are correct :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] skinnyveganboy:
Can you please lead me in the right direction regarding how to install this lockscreen? I found http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1062962 is this where i need to be? what files should i download/install, how do i install them if "this is not a flashable zip. " as stated in the thread.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Check the link in my sig, for a quick step by step guide to installing the sense 3.0 lockscreen

do i need to...

-

remove all old sense 2.1 widgets and idlescreen_clock.apk prior to pushing

- do not push if you're not sure what you are doing

-

be sure you remove the following "old" conflicting apks

:

- * HtcSyncwidget.apk (new in 0.19)

- * htcmsgwidgets.apk

- * com.htc.TwitterWidget.apk

- * com.htc.StockWidget.apk

- * htcbookmarkwidget.apk

- * HtcClockWidget.apk

- * htccontactwidgets.apk

- * htcmailwidgets.apk

- * com.htc.WeatherWidget.apk

cjward23...how is your battery life on this ROM?

For me it has gotten so difficult to get a full 8-10 hours w/o a charge and have tried more ROMs than I got underwear, yes likely TMI.

From CM7 by UD to MIUI to Unity 1.27, to Suil Coredroid to Z28 Blizzard v.09 to Virtuous Froyo 1.82 (Froyo just this weekend). Urghh!! All over the last 6 months and all with essentially the same apps. Been trying different kernels, SepCPU...so far Virtuous Froyo 1.82 with the stock kernel the battery life is super. See this post...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=967153&page=12

Anyway, considering trying this v2.0 of RMKs ROM, but the setup time is so long for me, I tweak the theme to get all blue stuff, and adding my apps is a time killer, wondering if you had any insight that would cause me to dive in and flash yet again.

PM me if posting is not the best way.

I posted this to see besides you others might chime on on battery life.

Thanks, malloy0
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] skinnyveganboy:
rebooting now. thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Pretty good, I'm at 12 hours with 25% left. I'm happy with it. Of course everyone's mileage will vary. This has been the best sense Rom I have ever used for battery life
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
Has anyone tried the sense 3.0 camera yet? I'm wondering if it takes away from the picture/video quality that the stock camera has.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Miniwolfi:
I have been using unity's vision 1.27

Battery at 54% since 7am now It's 11pm so after 16hours more than half that is a good battery life.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xyrcncp:
Turning airplane mode on/off sometimes works, but seems as if most of the time it doesn't. My phone is running 26.06.02.27_M, when I check the first page and the link to the radios, the 2 links under Gingerbread are 26.08.04.16_M and 26.08.04.30_M3. Neither which match what says in the post in the first page.

I also saw a post by cjward23 saying that the radio he has (26.10.04.03) is working fine, but would this work ok with T-Mobile, which is my carrier.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] malloy0:
Thanks, as FYI, wish had that same battery experience, but not nearly as good, so as a result Unity 1.27 is not for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrEzzzkiel:
What do you mean by this? Tried flashing the weather pack, but that didn't change a thing... I'd love to play around with the 3.0 weather! I flashed the lockscreen some days ago and have gotten use to the 2.1 weather that's on this rom... But I sure do miss those sweet animations! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
Here is my experience from a previous post below:

I am not on a g2 and operating on Rogers in Canada, so maybe the 26.10.04.03 may work well for you. I hope this helps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GottaStayFly:
Best ROM to date, by the way has anyone got the Weather widget from Sense 3 onto this ROM? if its possible because i miss it form Sense 3.0
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] antinerd:
Best sense rom yet! Rosie never has to reload, and speed is very quick for a sense rom. I'm thinking that sense 2 is a better fit for our old G2's than sense 3.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ilbeppez:
anyone has noticed if the total ram available is more than the stock 2.3.3?

because was more on the previous 2.2.1.

Just open quadrant and see system info.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
I hope some one appreciates this because I have spend about 4 hours today getting apktool setup so I could remove the recent apps from the notification bar.

I persevered and got it working eventually. So I thought I would share.

Either push via adb

adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk

or flash in CWM

Please let me know if it works.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] alexinc:
hi guys,

anyone else can confirm trouble between enabled gps and getting mobile data? noticed it once again, when opening google navigation (gps gets enabled) its not able to get data for maps and calculating the route!? also had this problem with unity 1.29... disabling and enabling mobile data will fix it, but thats just a temp solution.

running european dz with 26.10.04.03_M radio.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crazyC:
Thanks for this!

I will try this when I get home tonight - do you also know how to add the media volume and brightness options to the quicklinks pull down?

Cheers

C

PS - Will this break any other mods such as the battery icon mod from UOT kitchen or the font change?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
No it wont change battery mod, but it could reverse any other changes you made to SystemUI.apk. you could always upload this systemUI.apk and apply your mods to it.

Fonts will stay the same.

I'll look into adding more settings etc in the pull down bar, but I fear that will push my knowledge to its limits.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crazyC:
Cheers,

I am currently using an app to add the sounds and brightness options to the notifications pulldown. It does work, but is a two step process and is not as neat.

The only cosmetic changes I have made I think are the battery, boot animation and font, so I should be OK.
