Experienced the same issue the other day. Was not a problem on prior versions. (mobile didn't quote text, this was a reply to the no data while on a call issue)

Also still haven't seen or can't find via search fixes for other issues that were not present before 1.02 that I posted, such as AdFree no longer working, the contact pics in messaging (this has never been a problem for me with this ROM going back to ~.6), thumbnails disappearing, HTC Sense accounts not working again, etc.

Which radio should I have for this Rom? Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
I personally feel it's best to use the radio that came with the rom base/ruu, which for this rom would be the 04.02.17 radio... matching rils hasn't gotten me any better results anywhere, anytime... I'm not going to say it's a waste of time, but without scientific evidence to prove you're getting better battery life with a different radio/ril combination... I wouldn't put much faith in what anyone says about "matching"... I'm sure some tool will try to flame me now... but whatever... this isn't windows mobile... and to be honest matching radios/rils on winmo was just as much of a "crapshoot"...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
I have two answers for best radio. For T-Mobile USA (G2 Device), I recommend 26.03.02.26. For everyone else I recommend 26.04.02.17.

And although I provided the RIL automatcher, I don't actually recommend using it. It's there for people who want to experiment.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SNadler:
Thank you for a Great Rom! You can tell you put a lot of effort into making it what it is!

I have been running this rom for 24 hrs now and find it very stable and fast with the provided Kernel. The GPS and speed tests are below and I find it very pleasant to use. I did have to edit the build.prop file to get the faster upload speed in my area but it is working flawlessly. I will test battery life and GPS at 70 MPH and report also in about a week or so as I like to run a rom about a week or so to "settle in" with the radio and app / sync schedules so the initial syncs are all out of the way completely.

Once again Thank You for a great rom! :)

Which version of Virtuous is anyone here most happy with? I started on 0.80 and worked my way up to 1.0.2. Had some issues with 1.0.2 (hard reboots), currently playing with CM7, but am missing Sense. So, what is your favorite version of Virtuous and why?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
As I just got my DZ, 1.0.2 is the only version I've used (after a week of unrooted stock). Can't say I'm anything less than happy. Not a single surprise anywhere. It just works.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rumbi:
Nothing more to add. The first i had to do after i got my DZ was rooting it and installing a custom rom. The feedback for Virtuous was really positive so i gave it a try with version 1.0.1 and now i'm on 1.0.2 and i'm just happy with it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
Hi rmk, I've been playing a lot with radios for 2 months. When i was on the last AUS version (.27) i experienced hell on earth :D Hang up after 1 or 2 min, very often signal loss, almost impossible to download a file larger than 1Mb (hard to update apps).

Then i went back to .17 and used the Auto matcher. While it's waaayy better now, i still experience some signal loss (not during call though) and slow speeds everywhere (I can't grab 3G in my office, whereas i had no problem before falshing the AUS .27).

My question is: now that i'm back on .17 and used your Auto matcher, what should i do with libs to get the one that should have come with it? Also, there are many .17 available, I'm on a french network (SFR) but i can find only the .17 from another provider (Orange). What is my best choice?

Thank you!

I've experienced high battery drain since I moved from 0.9.5.

Previously it tooked about 15% while listening to music for about 1,5 hour with screen off (SetCPU powersave profile, max Freq about 400MHz).

Now it tooks 15% in 1,5 hour while doing nothing (Conservative profile, max Freq 245MHz (sic!). Of course I'm talking about the situation when the screen is off. But I could notice higher battery drain also during usage. I'm on advanced kernel.

Please give this problem an attention and try to fix it in next release.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] andersonjacob54:
I agree. I am disappointed with the batter use in this version also. It's a bit higher than the previous versions (I'm using advanced kernel).

I also have a problem with the advanced kernel, when my phone is charging and i turn it on, about 70% of the time the screen remains off but the touch buttons light up and i have to keep powering the device on and off until the screen turns on. This never happens when the phone is not charging, but it's annoying when the phone is charging. This also only happens with the advanced kernel (which I want for more control). I used to have the Pershoot kernel which worked perfectly, but it does not work with this version of the ROM...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
please search this thread a little more this issue has been addressed many many many times over and over... if you still can't find it, PM me and I will link you to one of the many posts which answer this issue...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
Well, the battery drain you are experiencing is not really, significant, for 2 reasons:

1. after you update a ROM, it takes some charging cycle before the battery indicator gets accurate

2. listening to music present on your SD is clearly not a battery eater, thus you may have quite the same drain with and without listening to music, assuming you did not accurately checked the percentage (like 17% with music and 12% without for example). But remember that battery usage may greatly vary in two situations that seem identical to you, but where your phone maybe did some extra work (as trying to register on network if signal is low).

I admire your patience... you're my masta ;)

Signal issue

Depending on how i hold my phone, I wither have FULL signall... or NOsignal. I drop calls sometimes, am unable to send texts sometimes, and sometimes i have no problem at all. It only happens with this rom. Is it a radio issue?

How do i go about fixing this?

T-Mobile G2 Running HTC Sense.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] burtcom:
Not an issue with the Radio, as this ROM does not touch the radio.

I would be hard-pressed to blame the ROM for another reason -- losing signal by holding the phone a certain way is a common problem with many phones, not just the G2. And it really depends on a lot of things -- how close are you to a tower? Are you inside a building? etc.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
you say that... but I actually just received my first infraction ever, for flaming the ever loving piss out of someone I just couldn't handle anymore... lol... post was deleted... not sure if they even got to see it... lolz... oh well...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] andersonjacob54:
Ok so I fixed my wake problem, but now I have another problem. I tried to run GameCIH which requires root access. When I run the program, it takes a good 2 to 3 minutes before superuser asks if I want to grant it permission. I say yes and it says the system denys root error. When I subsdequently run the app, it gives me the same error and after 2 to 3 minutes, superuser gives a toast notification saying access granted. Why is there such a delay and what is going on? This app worked fine on previous versions of this rom.

Another issue is that when playing music through the default htc player, I cannot pause the music from the lockscreen, but I can skip the track.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nitr00:
So I have installed this rom on my girlfriends Desire Z and at first it was blazing fast, but after a while she was complaining about speed issues. So I thought it wouldn't be that drastic, but now I played with it for a while and unfortunatly have to say that she is right.. The menu is verry sluggisch and overall the rom performance verry laggy, now where near the blazing fast speed after the fresh flash. Now I am wondering how it became this bad? Anyone else experiance the same speed issues?

She is using the recomended radio and matched ril, and also did a full wipe before flash.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
And if you wipe cache and Dalvik, is it fast again?

If not, if you flash again the ROM, is it good?

If yes, tell us if the slow speed ever comes back after that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] imsuperjp:
I know this is probably the wrong place to ask but how do i go from this ROM back to tmobile stock? I need to send the phone back for a warranty exchange and need to change it back to stock. THanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
at the top of this forum there are some stickies... the one that has the guides, rom links...etc... look for "Remove permanent root" in the "guides/refs" section... I believe that is the thread you are looking for...

or, you could just CLICK HERE. ;-P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
side note... anyone had any luck modding the framework-res.apk via UOT kitchen? I'm trying to mod the MrLuje power options version from rom manager, but keep ending up in a boot loop... I know I had modded it before... maybe I'm missing an option on UOT somewhere... just super frustrated, cause I've waited/built/waited/flashed/looped... repeat x20 at least... lol... at my wits end =P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
I actually used UOT to mod my battery meter to look like stock sense but with a gradient color change as the battery goes down as well as a bootanimation of the black bkgrnd dancing droid. Seemed to work fine for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] davi5:
I encountered the same issue too. After the power mod, I went to install the file I had generated via UOT and my phone was in a boot loop. Had to restore my ROM backup. I prefer to keep my recent apps option in the notification and yet be able to access power controls from the same place too.

I guess one of the workarounds would be to use Widgetsoid.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] davi5:
Did you install the power mod prior to the UOT file ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rantanplan1980:
Is there a patch from 1.01 to 1.02?

EDIT

There's none on http://files.virtuousrom.com/vision/ so I guess not.

Question. When I originally flashed 1.02, I had the problem that superuser couldn't grant any root rights to any app that requested it (like Titanium Backup, SetCPU, RomManager etc.). Flashed it several times, wiped dalvik, data, system but never could get it to work.

So I flashed 1.01 which worked fine. But I'm afraid that when I flash 1.02 full I'll get the error again (plus I have to restore all my apps).

When I flash without wiping (except dalvik of course), will my applications still be there afterwards or only their data?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SNadler:
I have used it with great sucess.

I have a battery, animated icons and bootanimation with no hitch other than the bootanimation needed to be manually moved to the proper location.:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] karlonicolas:
I encountered an issue with market. I did a full wipe, reinstall and fixed permissions (i tried a sense gb rom from another developer, but found rmk's rom still better so i reinstalled). Evrything works great even market, except when i click the "just in" (beside "top free").

The "just in" software from market opens, but if i click any of them or even scroll down i get a fc, which sends market back to the opening screen. Market does not fully close, i just cant access the "just in" section of market because of the fc.

I tried to fix permissions and reboot but still the same. I am planning to reinstall market instead, but im not sure where i can get it.

Any idea on this matter?

Thanks in advance for your help.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sergioka:
Now I'm testing this ROM as long as CM loses connection on my Z.

It's a little bit slower than CM, but it's not such a big problem :)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rantanplan1980:
This is caused by the Radio you're using.

You should either use the latest T-Mobile one (OTA Update Tmobile rom 1.22) or the RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.2.

Get it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970809

I'm not sure if the T-Mobile one is the best for germany though, I don't know which frequencies the T-Mobile radio supports, but UMTS+ seems to work fine with the T-Mobile one and GPS works.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Com.Chakotey:
Hello!

I flashed my Desire Z a few hours ago completely.

I mean...full wipe...format SD Card...flashed with xrecovery with 1.0.2

I clean fresh installation.

Now i recognized a mysterious problem...

My Autofocus sounds everytime when i push the focus button BEVOR that NEW installation.

But NOW the focus sounds one time and one time not.

The sounds comes not everytime when i push the focus.

Anyone an Idea??

THX for Help!

any suggestions?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 2ehan:
Just wanted to say thank you for this excellent ROM, which is now my daily ROM as well!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SNadler:
I think this is controlled by the build.prop and without editing it you cannot make a perm change. I am not 100% sure but the build.prop does have the default set in it as I have in the past modified it. Also you can try to change it by *#*#4636#*#* just run a ping first to make sure it is ok. I do not think this will survive a reboot though. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SNadler:
This will now also be my daily rom!

It has been runing for almost a week and results are superb. Battery life is much better than expected, GPS has a 10 sat lock in less than 2 seconds every time with a margin of error less than 10' at 50+ MPH. The U/D speed is better than most! I did have a little signal issue at first but tweaking the build.prop slightly did it for me. I did add just a little "eye candy" with animated icons and circular battery mod from the kitchen but other than that i am running it exactly as downloaded.

IMHO, this is a very stable product and it would take a lot to make be change. Thanks to all involved in it's production. Here are a few screen shots of my testing results. BTW, I do test every rom that I use with exactly the same sync settings and loaded/running apps to keep the tests consistant with each other :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] verboten:
Can you tell me more about these animated icons? I have yet to hear about this..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SNadler:
They are from the UOT kitchen.

Just a fancy animation of the data in/out arrows and such with different colors red and green and some others. You can see in one of the screen shots the arrows, when useing data they move and turn red/green.

The full set is shown when you are on the Kitchen and check that option under Icons.... :)

-Ninj...go get the absolute latest radio....it's on joelmm's post. It's the.30 radio. I also played with the.17 and the .26 radio with limited success. But this latest one is the hot stinky poo. In other words, it's awesome. I've experienced the best signal quality and strength like the previous two couldn't even touch.

There is a problem in Sense Gingerbread 2.3 like it was in virtuous 1.0.0. Rosie redraws very slow. And one more: Sense is loading every time when I use some app which use much memory. I hope you'll fix it like you do in virtuous 1.0.2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BTaylor927:
Yeah, but I meant a single tap of the search button. On every desire ROM I used, it would open google search when you pressed it on the homescreen.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Athrun88:
I asked this question several pages ago.

RMK disabled this feature because it took up too much memory. Only disabled the search function on the homescreens. You can still use it in-app and it works perfectly fine. I've gotten used to not using it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SG_Shadow:
Not sure whats going on...

I've been using the RMK Gingerbread Sense for some time now, but the speed was really upsetting me so I flashed the latest version of this ROM. My phone keeps rebooting for no reason, then I'm having data issues on top of that. The speed is nice, but I need things to work. Not sure if anyone was having similar issues, didn't really care to search the thread. Plus even if the issue has been fixed by flashing some sort of patch, radio, etc. I'm not doing it. I will check back when the Virtuous Gingerbread ROM is done. Keep up the good work.

Hi. Ive been using this rom since its 1.0.0 version, and everything works for me.

Random rebooting, i have learned from members of this thread, is an overclock issue. what kernel are you using? mine stopped rebooting after i went down to 1402 from the 1500+ using advanced kernel.

data issues - probably a radio issue. what radio are you using?

hope this helps.

Hi,

Have now managed to downgrade my Desire Z to 1.34 and achieve root and s-off etc.

So I installed this ROM (1.0.2) as there was the promise of a better cam and clocking too. Excellent.

However, when trying to clock I get nowhere due to the non-existence of the z_oc.ko file....

Ok, I'm sure this has been fixed some how, I'll just search. Well, I've been trying to search for the last 6 hours or so and get:

And I don't particularly fancy reading through 270+ pages of post just yet!!

Any help out there please?? :)

I assume after installing the rom you then went back and installed one of the overclock kernels? Does 1.02 come with an overclockable one by default or not. Am using the advanced kernel myself on 1.01

Use Rom Manager and go to the Kernels section for Virtuous. For speed to 1Ghz, use the 'standard' kernel. For speeds to 1.5Ghz use the 'advanced' kernel. Dont forget to use CPUTuner to set profiles for your cpu.

Note that you won't be able to change clock speed with the Virtuous standard Kernel, but it's already quite fast.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CTCNetwork:
Hi,

Yes, I noticed there was no real "easy indicator to speed, and installing the Advanced ROM essentially re-wiped the phone!!

Annoying after spending 40 mins setting everything up I'll tell you!!

I installed SetCPU to see what was going on and re-setup profiles for the phone.

CPU speed does seem to be able to go higher than I achieved back in the days of vision_oc.ko so treading carefully for the time being.. :)

For beginners and starters I suspect that some simple guides would be handy so they know exactly how to access stuff, but kudos to the authors of this anyway.. :)

And to all that have helped.. :)

Des. . . ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crazyC:
I used to jump between kernels on this rom quite happily without losing any data etc.

There are plenty of posts on this thread (IIRC) that give examples of clocking set ups - look through Ninj's posts I think for a good example using cpu tuner (which is what I use).
