I know on the virtuous 1.0.2 and the untouched ruu vision gb sense rom from rmk, you could edit the default.xml file to nexusone from desirez and it worked, but I can't find the mms portion in any of the xmls to change from the new roms. It sucks when people send you screenshots or whatever and it's tiny like a thumbnail. I can't see anything. and I don't think the mms fix worked for me either.

I think you need to install launchkey and it should (should) allow you to change it.

There is also a mod floating around this forum in the dev section that does exactly what you need. when search works, try searching for it. but i know it's in the dev section.

Sense Text Message Widget

Since this is my first Sense for Android phone, I'm not sure if it's this custom ROM or my misunderstand, or a setting or what.

The screen preview shows like, a listing of messages down the widget. Some of them are from the same person. However, my widget just replaces the previous message with the current message from any particular person. Is this normal?

No it's not a folder! there is a folder called virtuous_sense in your sdcard, and you must create a file named use_stock_theme : just create a text file and rename it, without any .txt extension, and reflash rom (without wiping data)

Or, if you have adb setup, (first line isn't necessary if you've used Virtuous Sense before):

HTC Facebook

Hi,

when I ran my Desire Z with the original stock rom (1.82), I had two Facebook Applications on my phone. One called Facebook and the other called HTC Facebook. I also had two respectively named accounts accessible in settings to synchronize both Facebook Apps.

After installing Virtuous Sense 2.0.0 (which I am really happy with!) unfortunately the HTC Facebook app has disappeared. There is no icon available anywhere. The only remainder of the HTC Facebook app is that again I have 2 accounts in settings that I can synchronize with. One called just Facebook and the other called HTC Facebook.

In addition in the app "Downloads" I got the information about a new HTC Facebook App dated 22-July-2011. If I try to install that, the installation fails.

So I am stuck with the regular Facebook App, which has many limitations I don't like. I am also not happy with having a semi-dead application installed on my phone, that does not fully work and can't be updated.

I have the same problem with two phones. One was an unbranded Desire Z, the other a Vodafone branded Desire Z (for my wife). Debranding, rooting, installing Virtuous etc. went fine, but both phones now show this weird behaviour with respect to the HtcFacebook.apk

So I think I can rule out a mistake made during the flashing process or any hardware related issue.

Anybody here having the same problem?

Thank you in advance,

Tronar

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
I'm not sure why you quoted my post as it wasn't about the tiny mms fix - I was just posting a requested apk. :)

As far as I know, rmk's mms fix (from Twitter) patches Mms.apk so that you can send bigger sized photos.

In terms of receiving mms, there is another flashable zip file floating around that changes the UA string in default.xml, as well as replace some other files. Unfortunately for this fix, you need to do a complete factory reset and flash it before first boot-up.

Although I've not used it specifically with this ROM, I successfully used a modified version of said file on the the stock gingerbread sense ROM (on which Virtuous Sense 2 is based) to tell it to use a Bravo/HTC Desire UA string in default.xml.

For some reason, just editing default.xml by itself wasn't enough to do this as it had been on Virtuous Unity, the other files had to be replaced as well.

As I'm in the UK, the HTC Desire was a safe choice, and it let me receive 300k pics rather than the 60-80k ones that the O2 Network servers preferred to downscale to.

As always, your mileage may vary. :)

I don't want to wipe and start all over again...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] popimp315:
It sucks, but worth it in the end. On another note, I finally found settings that work. At first I couldn't get right sized pics, but could text past 160 sms. Then I couldn't send sms past 160, and not get large pics. Now I have them both. I first did the mms fix (the default.xml fix which means changing your phone to "appear" as a nexus one). Then I flashed the mms fix to change the values and set it to the largest settings. I messed up by matching rils, but I just extracted the ones from the original rom, placed them over and viola...all better. I am a tmobile user so hopefully this helps someone else. Using the .30 radio.

Edit: I selected tmobile data in the apn list.

Great ROM so far. Three things;

- The green notification LED does not flash anymore for new text messages. It does, however, for (G)mail.

WORKAROUND: Install 'SMS Popup' from the market. In 'SMS Popup', untick 'Show popup'. In your SMS app, go to settings --> notifications --> and untick 'Notifcation of Receivement' or something similar, the top one it is. (My ROM language is Dutch).

- I cannot change the (spell checking) language of the hardware keyboard to something else than English or Italian. How can I change this langauge into Dutch ?

I'm talking about the physical, hardware qwerty keyboard. I can change the language for the onscreen keyboard to Dutch, but I can not for the hardware keyboard.

- How can I change back to the old market ? The new market is very sluggish and slow for me.

Thank you very much !
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
I believe that you are refering to Facebook for HTC Sense.

Facebook for HTC Sense is not an openable app in the traditional sense. Rather, it is an integrated system throughout Sense. For example, in Gallery you can access other peoples' photo albums, or you can choose, tag, caption, and upload pics/vids directly from Gallery. It exists inside Sense already, no need to install it.

If you would like to utilize it, go to

Settings>accounts and sync>add account

Then add your Facebook for HTC Sense! Now you've got it =)

If you open up the mmsfix.zip found in jontornblom's post:

You will see that it replaces several files, including the system/customize/MNS/default.xml file. At the bottom of the file, you'll see this:

What this is doing is telling the network servers that the phone is a myTouch 4G. So when I said 'spoofing' that's what I meant. Because I'm in the UK where the myTouch4G isn't available, I personally changed it to say HTC_Desire Build/ERE27. :)

Trying this rom again and I have lost HSPA+ connectivity
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tronar:
First of all thank you for your help.

You are partially right. I found the Facebook for HTC Sense account and activated it. I am using this one over the other Sync-Account, because it downloads the photos from my Facebook-Friends with a much better resolution. So after linking the accounts in contacts, I now have really nice photos from many of my friends.

BUT before I flashed the Virtuous 2.0.0 I had 2 (TWO) Facebook-Apps on my Desire Z at the same time. One was simply called Facebook and the other was called HTC Facebook. They were different apps with a slightly different GUI.

Weird enough, there is still a HtcFacebook.apk in my /system/apps folder. But I cannot update this somewhat invisible app, for example by starting the update process in the Download app. Or manually going to the HtcFacebook.apk and trying to start the installation process using Root-Explorer. Everything fails with weird error-messages. So something is definitely messed up in the current ROM, since it shows the same behaviour on two different phones.

cheers,

Tronar
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
It's a system app and I'm wondering why you're trying to update it? Now I'm having a hard time remembering previous sense roms that had a facebook app for HTC sense..Could you tell me which one has it? As far as I remember Facebook for HTC sense was always built in here and there.

After using 2.0.0 for more than a week and installing another on my wife's phone let's start with again expressing my gratitude for the work done by the Virtuous team. The ROM is pretty smooth, the battery life is amazing!

I have found a few peculiarities that I like to share (I don't know if there is a bug system as there was with Unity).

1) I don't know how it happens, probably after charging, but my display won't stay on "automatic brightness". In stead it is always in the brightest mode (when I look)

2) My wife's phone is orginally an Italian one and on this the install procedure only shows 4 languagues (En, It, German and ?). Everything was, is and remains Dutch though (apart from the keyboard language).

3) It seems that Bluetooth is a bit of a problem. I have a Parrot carkit that worked flawlessly before but now it won't autoconnect anymore.

4) It has happened twice that my background image is "flipping" at 40 Hz or so. I can only solve this by choosing a different image and then the original one again.

Hope this helps anyone.

Frank

This is from your camera app. If you have tasker or automate it! then set the trigger for application deactivation (then specify the camera app) then set the action to trigger the screen brightness to your choice (in my case, auto brightness)

these 2 might be from an installation that is not "clean". did you wipe the phone completley before you flashed the rom?

also, did you restore any system settings via titanium backup? it can sometimes do crazy stuff to your phone.

do you mean there's a flickering? like when a crt screen comes to close to another electromagnetic field?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bronz_Most:
Anyone know how to get rid of the orange LED that pops on after you close the hardware keyboard? I know you just tap the notifications bar to turn off the light, but it's annoying that it has to turn on in the first place.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Frank_071:
Yes, I did completely wipe the phone (of course :-) ). The Install-screen(s) pop up after starting the phone for the first time, so this was (far) before even starting with Titanium. It happened with Unity as well - it seems as if there is some hardware setting that is read (see previous post of a fellow Dutchman who saw something about an Italian keyboard layout in the adb log screen) which triggers this behaviour.

No it is as if two images (or the same image, but differently positioned) are put on the screen one after the other and back (and then rapidly).

Frank

Trackpad swype

I don't know if it's a bug (maybe driver or kernel?) but when typing words, if i want to go backwards to edit what i just typed, i use the trackpad, but when swiping quickly to the left, the cursor will only move one letter on the left, only if I swipe veeeeery slowly can I move several letters back (In fact it's like you swipe 4 times in a row on a short disance). Well I think this should be quite the contrary? I'm not sure because it's been a while but I remember when I was on stock rom it seemed to be ok; In recovery, when you swipe up or down, the behavior is right: swipe fast to move down several lines, slowly to move on line.

I've had this on vituous unity, g-lite and virtuous sense 2, have never tried any CM based rom...

Has anyone noticed this behavior?
