In order for metamorpth to work u will need to be fully S-off.. And why do u need metamorph to change ur battery icon? I've ever tried to use it to change some stuff and battery icon but it had screwed by framework.. It better to play safe and nandroid 1st before trying metamorph and remember u need to be fully S-off for it to work...

Btw I'm using icematrix version 2 animated framework to change my battery icon and its working great! There is a normal version and animated one.. Use version 1, 2 or 3 but dun use version 3.1 and 4 b'cos its meant for another framework and will give u bootloops.. U can search for it in the themes forum... Hope this help... Cheers!!

Very, very nice ROM. No issues atm.

Any way to disable trackpad wake?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] djdant:
Would also like to know this too, one feature I'd like to disable
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Hemi-Cuda:
so after using Virtuous for awhile everything is working great except i've noticed that my current location for the weather app will not update. it's stuck to my home town just outside of Calgary, AB, but when i come into the city for work the weather widget won't change. Google Maps can find my location just fine, and i've tried messing with all of the Accounts & Sync options. i even tried force closing the HTC Weather Provider app and clearing all the data, but nothing will get my location in there to update. anyone else encounter the same issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Delta105RUS:
Yes I see a menu with "shut down", "airplane", "restart"... the problem is that when I turn it back on it's super fast. I can tell that it doesn't actually kill power to the phone, it just kills all except RAM. Try to pull the battery when it's "shut down" and see how mutch longer it'll take to turn it back on.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] InkBlot14:
That's a feature in the Desire Z/Virtuous ROM called "Fast-Boot". You can disable it in Settings > Applications. Look for a checkbox called fast-boot, and disable it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Delta105RUS:
Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Razorless:
My phone seems to freeze when i set scaling to "smartass" in set cpu. So i guess Ill stick with conservative.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eViL D::
Personally, I think there is a problem with setcpu. I have the donate version and I just simply do not use it anymore. If you need to tweak your cpu freq's, try CPU Tuner from the market.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Razorless:
I also noticed my Quadrant score getting worse. The first run right after ROM flash got me 2472. Now i get a mere 2092 (with 1,516GHz). I wonder, I wonder... what your scores are?

Maybe I will try CPU Tuner, though I doubt that it makes a difference...

Edit: Tried Set CPU: Its the same, as soon as I set governor to "smartass" phone freezes...

Edit²: Still the same...Phone still occasionally freezes after wake up...

btw: Im using a "screen off" profile, gonna turn it off (even if it screwes my battery >.< ) and see if it helps...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phawkes:
Do you mean you want to overclock higher than 1ghz? The gscripts that worked for the original g2 overclock module work for the desire z module. Using the ohshittt script will make it go to 1.4 ghz. If you want to change it feel free to go in the script and change the 74 to a lower or higher number(depending on if your device can handle it).

will this rom work with the OC kernel?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chewy106:
I grabbed the Desire Z called cm-baconbits version from evil's thread and so far no issues with OC.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] edwill44:
Ok, today I found out Ive been acting like a real noob. What I didnt realize was that the reason the cpu was resetting was that I had the speeds set that way. Once I reset the max speed in setcpu I was crusing at 1.3Ghz. Thanks for making my first Android phone the best one....When I can OC the GPU my fall to the Android-side will be complete
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1_enthusiast:
thanks for reply man, i'm a little bit sketchy on how to flash the kernel, can you do a step by step for me?? i already flash virtuos rom already so im good on flashing rom, however kernel i need a little help.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rUsTyRuSs:
Partially broken (works sometimes). You can just flash the stock sense kernel over bacon. That will fix it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1_enthusiast:
i dont think any phone can OC GPU yet lol so you might as well fall to android-side
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chewy106:
I flashed both the ROM and the kernel through ROM Manager - choose install from SD card, pick the kernel zip, allow Clockwork Recovery to do it's thing :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1_enthusiast:
wait i thought you have to boot into clockword recovery to install rom?

and isnt "install rom from sdcard" only for rom and not kernel?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ThaGeNeCySt:
you can use ROM Manager to boot into recovery
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] edwill44:
LOL, Im sure it cant be done (yet). Ive heard (read) rumors that someone was looking into it....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1_enthusiast:
i know that i was wondering how do you flash kernel... can you do it from "install rom from SD card" or you got to go into recovery mode via clockwork
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] b1gpap1:
everything runs pefectly but the pic messages. can any one help me?????
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1_enthusiast:
yea thats what i want to do too, i want the cpu to go from 806 to 1.0,1.2,1.4 more gradually then jumping from 806 to 1.4
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NXUS:
might be a common answer, but did you set up your apn's set up correctly? and are you with t-mobile? if so, check the thread few pages back and you will see you have to set different apns and one of them will be for mms

Secondly, this is a question some of you might answer, in messaging app, contacts display pictures will not show or my display picture wont show, i have all my contacts synced with facebook and "People" shows display picture fine, its just messaging app that wont display any display pictures. Ive tried resyncing, any help or a fix?

Edit for extra info: I have Bell Desire Z and stock sense ROM 1.34.655.5 displayed the pictures just fine, also my contacts or calendar wont sync with htcsense.com or hts sync 3.0 ...htc sync 3.0 gives me "unknown error occured"

and htcsense.com doesnt work at all, phone finder or phone lock or erase or ring wont do anything, it also sais my phone is locked and i have not gotten any screen on my phone prompting me for me pin
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chewy106:
The install from SD card in ROM Manager can be used to flash the kernel from evil's thread. Just leave the wipe/backup options unchecked. It launches to clockwork to flash. Same as going to clockwork directly, just no need to reboot into recovery to do it. That's how I did it this morning, no issues, OCed to 1.2gHz, running smoother than stock speeds and setCPU profiles help save some battery, as this SenseUI seems to drain fairly fast...

MMS doesn't work for me either, even after setting up the 3 APNs.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
question, can I replace com.htc.launcher.apk (rosie) with launcher pro? I like the htc widgets and such, but just don't care for the the launcher... would that royally screw the rest of this up if I replaced it in the zip before flashing?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xanth:
You need to delete /system/usr/keylayout/curcial-oj.kl (you'll need to mount the filesystem as rw first) and then reboot the phone and that'll stop the trackpad waking it up (that's literally all that file does).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
You can only use the HTC widgets if you're using Sense (rosie). You can, of course, install LauncherPro and just use it instead of Rosie (many of us do just that) but you won't be able to use any of the HTC widgets. The paid version of Launcher Pro (~$3) has widgets that are mostly copies of the HTC ones, so that may work for you.

If you remove Rosie from the zip before flashing, your phone will not have a launcher installed. That can't be good.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
I replaced the rosie launcher with the launcherpro apk and also removed the htc.lockscreen.apk, now I have vanilla lockscreen and launcherpro working... just in initial testing phase, but will report what else I find...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] catachresistant:
There's a known issue with this configuration: If you set an alarm and the screen is off (read: vanilla-locked) when it triggers, you will have no way to silence it without rebooting the whole phone.

The SupervillainZ ROM has this issue fixed (in their thread, they attribute the fix to HomerSP), but I have no idea how they did it/what files they modified. It'd be nice to just be able to push the modifications over...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] more2come:
@rmk & evil

When can we expect the update to 0.9.0 ?

thx in advance
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
as stated by others earlier, no they do not.

yeah, I read that in the supervillain thread, and tested it just to verify if it was present in this configuration on this rom, and I can confirm, it most certainly is impossible to shut the damn thing up without a reboot... lol... I'll ask over there if they can divulge, and if they do I'll certainly share over here... I'll bribe them if I have to =P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mowed_Head:
You got issues with this ROM?

I just wanted to point something out to all of you that have these odd quirky problems.

I recently got the G2 and promptly rooted it and put this ROM on it (no new kernel or overclocking). It has been working flawlessly. Fast as hell, no hiccups, everything works as it should.

So why are you guys using setCPU and some modified Kernel? Seems it's only you guys that are having issues.

Just something to think about.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] edwill44:
Well I use cputuner to control the overclock. I personally don't use the modded kernals. Haven't had a problem yet that wasn't user error.

Sent from my G2 running Sense cruising @ 1.2Ghz
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
With setCPU and 1.2ghz OC on kernel 1.0.5 (not modified, just updated kernel for this rom series) I had no problems, I did have problems with stock kernel, setCPU and 1.497ghz OC. I have since switched to CPU Tuner w/1.0.5 kernal and 1.2ghz OC, still no problems. After I figure out what was changed to make vanilla lock work with htc alarm, then I will try OCing a little higher and see what my results are. CPUTuner has better options than setCPU and it seems that setCPU has some stability issues... there is another choice Overclock Widget, but I have not used it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
on another note, could someone possible explain why I can't find launcherpro plus in the market, i've entered "federico", "launcherpro", "launcher pro", "launcherpro plus", "launcher" and nothing brings up the paid version, only the free version... I'm trying to purchase it but can't seem to locate it... not sure if it has something to do with this being a "sense" rom or what...

I really love sense, but it always run slow on my phone what can I do to make it faster besides overclocking?

What kind of phone do you have. Really you've gotta be joking though. wipe all and re flash. Virtuous = daily driver for me.

Virtuous v0.8.1 w/pershot and aurax skin looks great with a sort of white background. Virtually no issues at all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] champgetem:
I jus root my stock g2 to the new virtuous and my data is slower than b4 and it keep switchn between 3g and h..what should I do.?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
*sigh* This has been covered ad nauseum throughout the thread.

The stock G2 ROM is tweaked by T-Mobile to either show E for EDGE or H for 3G+. This is technically incorrect, as HSPA shouldn't really have an 'H'.

On the Sense ROMs, the speed is shown accurately, with either an E for EDGE, 3G for UMTS/HSPA, and H for HSPA+.

Thus, while your stock rom always showed an H, you might not have always *actually* been in an HSPA+ area. The Sense ROM is going to switch between 3G and H because it's showing your true speed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fatindian:
hey guys,

I just installed Virtuous 0.8.1 on my Desire Z using ROM manager (selected the Full 0.8.1 option). It's all good, everything seems to work and I'm glad to have gotten rid of the Bell branding and restrictions (they didn't allow HTC Locations and put like 10 unremovable apps).

However, I ran Quadrant and my score is 1150, it was 1500 or so with the old ROM and about 1730 with Cyanogen 6.1.1. I thought Virtuous was supposed to OC the CPU, what gives? Am I being dumb or something?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
Virtuous itself doesn't OC the CPU - you need to use either SetCPU or CPU Tuner to overclock.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ntrujillo:
Sorry its WAY late but yea still no go sending MMS, still can recieve them tho.

EDIT: ok, I got my MMS working, started from scratch! I redownloaded 0.8.1 and wiped EVERYTHING and reinstalled now I can send and receive mms with no problems. Thanks for the help, love this and sense ROM!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s0gupt09:
I did something stupid. I uninstalled swype by accident using Ti so I reinstalled it. However, now I get "The application Swype (process com.swype.android.inputmethod) has stopped unexpectedly. Please Try again." I browsed online and people said you need to reinstall your rom. Do I need to reinstall the Virtuous Rom or is there a quick fix? Thanks in advance.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WorldIRC:
I keep losing my list of installed apps within the Market and am forced to do a FIX PERMISSIONS in recovery when this happens.

Any idea?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
well, it I think I've got it working (partially) I can set an alarm, turn off screen and when alarm goes off, after unlocking screen, I have the option to snooze / dismiss. when it first went off the option wasn't there I hit the menu button (random guess) and the automatically snoozed for 10min then when it went off again, the dialog box was there which allowed me to "dismiss"

The other issue is the clock application has some graphical issues now... so it doesn't look quite right, but everything is functional...

I think it partly because of the way I replaced the clock app, so I'm going to replace the clock app in the actual rom zip and reflash the rom and see if it fixes the graphical issues... I will report back once I have done that, but I may have a way for us Virtuous lovers who want vanilla launcher, vanilla lock to have it with this ROM...

for those that would like to attempt what I did to this point, here is what I did...

1. replaced rosie launcher with launcherpro (via the rom zip, prior to flashing it)

2. I did an eyeball comparison of the lib folders from this rom and SuperVillain rom and a few files stood out, but only one in particular is the one I think mattered "libloc_api.so" so I copied it (and the other "extra" files that weren't in the virtuous lib folder just in-case)

3. I flashed the repacked rom zip via recovery.

4. after flashing I used the replace htc messaging with vanilla messaging method to replace com.htc.android.worldclock.apk with the one from SuperVillainROM.

when you "install it, it may say "failed to install" but goto the app drawer and run it, then set an alarm and test it out...

EDIT: step 2 was useless, I think most of it is in the worldclock.apk... I took a better look at the libloc_api.so and it seems to be agps related... the first time I opened it in a standard txt editor and just ran a search on "lock" and got some hits, but didn't really take a proper look at it... I know what I'm doing is kind of like swinging an axe around in the dark with a baseball helmet on backwards while wearing rollerskates on an icerink, but hey... it's fun at least =P and helping me to learn a bit more about my device so whatever's clever man...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] catachresistant:
Fantastic post, thank you for that.

I'll take a look at the worldclock.apk later on and try and locate the exact difference... That way we can just roll in the difference to future iterations of it. I'm guessing they carried over the alarm scripting from the stock clock. Will probably be able to fix the minor graphical issues with it too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WorldIRC:
I also often have a lag when powering on the screen and actual usability (not using SetCPU or any profiles or overclocking). As well, Sense sometimes force closes. I've upped the minimum speed in SetCPU to see what happens with regards to the lag.

I am using the 1.0.5 kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
a few people have reported issues with this kernel, try pershoot's 1.2 kernel or cyan's 1.3 kernel and report back, others have reported success with those kernels... after some further testing I haven't had any force closes related to system apps, but I have noticed some lag at "wake" and have had a few user installed apps FC and I'm also using 1.0.5 kernel...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WorldIRC:
Installing Pershoot 1.2 now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WorldIRC:
So far much more stable, but I have CPU minimum speed set to 476 now. I'll see how that works throughout the day in terms of battery life. If its detrimental, I'll step it back down to minimum CPU speed and check the performance then.

We'll see if the Sense UI crashes.

Thanks bud!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] catachresistant:
Do you mean it displays the wrong icons? If so, I quickly knocked this together:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/lpocfg

Haven't had time to test it (I'm running SupervillainZ still, don't want to take my phone offline long enough to install Virtuous to give it a go), but it should work. Push it through.

DLNA

I want to bring the Connected Media app and DLNA functionality to other Vision ROMs, can someone tell me what Ill need to do in order to bring it over?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
I probably won't be able to test this 'til later this wknd, but thanks... the issue is a bit more than icons though... on the first tab of the clock there was a bright green border around the edge (icons were ok) but as you slide across the tabs of the clock it seemed like the background was missing and you could see the interface of the previous tabs behind the controls of the current tab... kind of a weird and difficult to explain in words... if it still looks the same after I flash the rom with the stock villainz worldclock.apk then I will def. take some screens...

thanks btw!

Will this require a wipe?

And if not, do you recommend a wipe anyway?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Herrera91:
When upgrading to a brand new version rather than just a patch, WIPE is a must.

O.K. here are the screens... again, it does function, it just looks funky...

the alarm tab actually looks perfect, it's the other ones that seem to get messed up after tapping / scrolling back and forth between them...

P.S. this is with the apk from villainzrom not the one you uploaded... I will test that one later, maybe after you see these pics you will have a better idea if what you did, would even fix the above issues...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WorldIRC:
Guys,

In anticipation of the new version of the ROM being released tonight, what type of backup and restore should I be performing in Titanium Backup?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Herrera91:
You might want to backup all your apps so you don't have to go through the hassle of downloading them again from the market. Also, make sure you do a NANDROID backup just in case something goes wrong.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] andersonjacob54:
So don't backup SMS/Phonebook/Dailer?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Herrera91:
You could backup all your messages and/or contacts by other means, but the apps themselves will already be included in the new release.
