[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Smartenup:
First off I would like to thank rmk40 & eViL for their hard work and contribution!

I came from a stock sense rom to the Virtuous 0.9.0 without issue, only wiping the dalvik & clearing cache. Worked great for me with advanced kernel.

With this new release, I reflashed rom 24 hours ago to Virtuous 0.9.5 (dalvik, cache and battstat wipe only ) and running with the advanced kernel and have since had no issues of any significance so far. No reboots or wake issues............minor font or language issue with E Weather HD apk only on cold boot that was easily fixed with a re-install.

Fine work sir!

P.S. My battery life with a Seidio 1700 (on 3rd recharge) is working out great and I use wifi alot. Looks like i will get 20 hours from this last charge.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YOSEFE:
I have done screen density on my dz, but when you say it allows more things to fit on screen, how do you, say, add more icons? When I press the screen with a normal hold for adding icons, nothing happens.

Any heads up?

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
its mainly when im in an app landscape and go into the app while in landscape mode(if that makes sense) and when i go back to the homescreens in portrait it takes time, longer than normal, to load and smoothen up. or vice versa.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] anbinhv:
I have unknown SMS from number 4198 when using this Rom ( about more than 20 sms per day ). When switch to Cm7 the sms disappear. Any one else has this problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
what kernel / profiles are you using?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bongd:
Which messaging app? Stock or other? I had this problem with GO SMS but it was a known issue. Happened in CM7 too though..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] enserio:
yes, but mine come from 456 and 129, every time I reboot the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
I have gotten about 4 of them since I started testing beta2 - final, but it doesn't come from a number, it just says unknown contact or something... strange...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jaimepar:
Went from a N1 to a G2 today. Flashed this in the first hour and loving it. Already changed my sig.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
im using the standard kernel, with off screen profiles. thats its. i didnt have it with previous versions. do you have this problem? other than that, the rom is noticeably upgraded and alot smoother. i love it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
more specific, what IS your screen off profile

min/max CPU

governor type
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
oh gotcha.

with screen on im max 998 and min 25 with ondemand,

and with screen off ive got 245 min and max, with conservative. thanks for your help, btw.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
For those of you who have no use for wifi calling, here's a flashable patch to remove it (works for any version of Virtuous):

http://files.virtuousrom.com/vision/extras/virtuous-remove_wifi_calling.zip

You'll be able to do this via Virtuous Buddy as well once 1.0.0 is released.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] edwill44:
129 is an IMEI check from your carrier. Tells them what phone you have your sim is in. And yes, your phone does respond quietly. And no, you can't stop it.

Sent from my G2 cruising at 1.1Ghz
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arich:
The far right quick key will still not retain its function beyond maybe an hour. This is what made me switch off 9.0.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Does this still occur with 0.9.5?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] havocnl:
Hmm that's not much... 0.9 had a lot more symbols in the keyboard.. (also the < and > symbols)

hope this can be added, i use the symbols a lot...

[edit]

Whoops you answered this a page back already :-)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] animelover:
Thanks, this hint helped my friend! Now he's very satisfied with your ROM and his device! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] patoberli:
I guess I missed it, but what do we "win" from remove this feature? (I don't need it at all)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] anbinhv:
mine is stock sms
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rantanplan1980:
Gingerbread has Facebook and Twitter sync. Cyanogenmod 6.1.1 too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sandrome:
I had an issue like this on my previous device, an HTC Tattoo. There should be an option when you go to calling settings to disable short messages. I don't know the exact names in english but it should be something like this. If you disable them it should stop. I don't know the exact purpose of those CB-messages so I can't tell if you lose any functions that could be important.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JCreations:
3 bugs i am experiencing with 0.9.5:

-Wake up issues with 0.9.5 with standard kernel 1.1.2. (3 times in the past 24hours)

-widgets showing arabic letters and date not showing correctly. The date in numbers does work e.g. 06-02-2011 does works but Sat, 06 feb 2011 doesn't.

-random reboot. Just once in the past 24hours.

Installed the rom with fullwipe and I didn't installed any extra tools except for some basic widgets and launcherpro.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] havocnl:
Did u use titanium backup or something else to restore (system) data?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JCreations:
I didn't use titaniumback to restore any system related settings, only for a couple of market apps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JCreations:
One more small bug, the screen doesn't turn on when i open my keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YOSEFE:
The screen turns on after a delay of about 3 seconds on my DZ.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JCreations:
It seems a bit random with my DZ. It could be related to the wake issues?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
this is your problem

NEVER EVER SET ANY PROFILE TO THE SAME NUMBER FOR MIN/MAX!!!!

ESPECIALLY NOT TO THE LOWEST AVAILABLE VALUE!!!!

ANYONE who does this WILL HAVE ISSUES!!!

for screen off set min (246-476) and max (599-806) and you *almost* never have wake issue, I rarely get them, but when I do, I believe it's because of the state my phone went to sleep in, not because of the profile... it's not consistent enough for me to reproduce, and is quite rare to happen... enjoy! =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] carlos_polanco:
For some reason my Android Market stop working. It force close when trying to open it. I restart 2 times and use "market doctor" on titanium Bckup and nothing helped.

I use titanium backup PRO just for APP+Data... NO system data.

Flash back to 0.9.0 :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
Good tip, but calm down a little. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JCreations:
The first time you load android market takes some time. Make sure you turn off google backup, or it will download all your installed apps automaticly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DJ ELITE:
i tried your [ROM] Desire Z Sense on the G2 (via HBOOT) [R2: Updated 11/09/2010] and wasn't able to use "the www/.com" button and i could no longer pair up with my bluetooth headset, no matter what i did.

i wiped my device & reloaded the stock G2, and everything seems to work fine now.

have the issues been fixed in this ROM?

i'm a HTC SENSE kinda guy and would really dig using your ROM. i truly appreciate your work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Yep I see this as well ...

I/vending ( 1953): [22] AssetDownloader$DownloadManagerBroadcastReceiver$MyPackageInstallObserver.packageInstalled(): Package install from content://downloads/download/4 failed: Package file was not signed correctly.

As was already suggested just remove the version I provide and install this one. Removing is simple since Flash is one of the apps installed in /data/app. Any uninstaller will work.

Really curious why the signatures are different.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
I actually released the first DesireZ ROM on the G2. This is a continuation of that effort. My philosophy with this ROM is to stay close to stock and patch in essential fixes, while including only subtle enhancements.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] supergear:
Good work runs great. The OC module for Desire Z does work with this rom btw
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gaalaagaa:
Allright, got you. Thank you lots. Currently using the ROM :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dthadamaja:
anyone else not getting mms to work? I've loaded my apn from the stock room, but still doesn't work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sharkdude28:
magnificent!

really amazing work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sportfan247365:
AWESOME!!!

works great:eek:

using it now and loving it:)

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ThaGeNeCySt:
Is everyone's .com/.www key working?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] karrma:
Going to try when I get near a comp, does this have swype? If not do you know where to get it so I can install, I don't like the other keyboard, I'm a noob so might be a dumb question, but id like to know, thanx
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
It's not working yet with the ROM. I'll look into it soon.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ThaGeNeCySt:
It seems to only work during the initial HTC set up... once everything is up and running it's gone... must be a desire z sense thing since I don't think the Desire Z keyboard has a .com button
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Yeah I have no doubt I can fix it -- just need to have time to work on it. I'll see what I can do. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johnsonrod27:
Just curiois is any of the things i prevciously mentioned are fixed in this rom

The small mms bug and anything on tmos visual vm ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Evil D and I are collaborating on this ROM going forward. A new release is coming soon with a lot of his and my work merged together. In the meantime, here's a goody:

Virtuous 0.0.5 wifi calling patch:

http://files.virtuousrom.com/vision/extras/virtuous-vision-patch-wifi_calling.zip

Thanks to Evil D for guiding me through getting it working.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] haensgn:
So are you guys going to actually just go ahead and merge the two roms or should i just ennie...meennie...minnie ...mo it?:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Yep. There will be a single DesireZ ROM of combined effort.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] haensgn:
Well thats amazing news, your post customization options are top notch and evil has been building sense since g1, some of the fastest I had used not to mention.

I hope more collaborate efforts happen between you.

ps i feel a donate coming both of your ways.

;)

ps2 would it be possible to have you two work on all three sense roms he has going on...pls pls pls
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1_enthusiast:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Updated to 0.6.0, which was the first collaborative release between Evil and I.

Enjoy!

Try using this stock gallery .apk. It should support it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
How can I disable trackpad unlock? I'd really rather not have it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] vrav:
Thank you so much Phawkes!!

I am now able to see pics from Picasa in the Stock Gallery app. However FYI, HTC Gallery app still does not see it, weird!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phawkes:
Np, glad it worked out for you. I dont think the htc gallery has the ability built into it to view the picasa gallery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demon187:
Pic msg blurry please help
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phawkes:
read a few pages back for the way to fix it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demon187:
Tried it can you do that with root explorer or Droid explorer
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erieboyz:
This Rom is Awesome!!!! It is smooth and works very well with my g2. Thank you so much!!!

Not me.. Do you have bacon bits also?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stryder5:
Nope. I manually overclocked.

Anybody having trouble with the music and gallery in this rom? The music app can't seem to locate my music (.mp3) files on my sdcard. Same with the gallery, it can't locate any image files on the sdcard. Any way to fix this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phawkes:
Sounds like a bad install maybe? Check your SD card over if that's not the prob a wipe and reinstall should do the trick.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eViL D::
rmk40 & I are finalizing 0.7.0. It should be release tonight.

En nofication

quick question, whats the en notification that pops up next to the 3g indicator in the status bar?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NXUS:
When you open your keyboard it tells you what language you are using .. en = english
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arich:
Yes.

Also my phone won't wake up when I open the keyboard and the 4 soft keys no longer vibrate when I press them
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
Confirmed, my phone doesn't wake when I open the keyboard. v0.9.5 with standard kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] geova87:
how is battery life on 0.9.5?

thanks in advance :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
Only had the phone off the charger 2 hours today, down to 90%. In the first hour, it dropped 1% - this was while I was driving to work, moderate use (don't judge) but all HSPA+. The second hour is at work, where I switch to EDGE-only and turn on WiFi. In this hour, I've been using Tweetdeck a bit more, with fewer SMS, and I've dropped 9%.

Is there a difference in how v0.9.5 handles WiFi vs v0.9.0? In the WiFi advanced settings, I have the WiFi sleep policy set to 'never' (had the same setup on v0.9.0), and I have the 'Best WiFi Performance' box ticked. I don't remember seeing this box on v0.9.0 - anyone with that version still that can check? It does have a disclaimer that it may consume more power, so that could be it.

I'm trying to use this with the *exact* same settings I had on v0.9.0, to get a more accurate comparison between the two.

@rmk40 can you comment on this Best WiFi Performance tickbox? Is it new, do you know what it does?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ellises:
As soon as I seen 0.9.5 available I had to update since I've been having a sense withdraw. The good news is the problems I had with 0.9.0 are gone, the bad news is that there is new problems. And I don't know if anyone else is having them but they are pretty severe in my case ... it's randomly rebooting, and often when it randomly reboots it will go into a bootloop which funny enough will be fixed once a manual turn off and back on is done. next is it randomly playing music from my library, this was bad as of today I was in class and it started playing music. next thing, if I have headphones on, system sounds will be randomly played by the phone speaker. Back to version 0.8.1 again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] geova87:
ok so I have another question that I've been asking myself for quite some time...

How can I add new languages to SWYPE?

My main language is Spanish. Las time I tried to overwrite the stock installation with the one I downloaded from the Beta Program it messed it up and made SWYPE UNUSABLE (FC).

Thanks in advance for the help!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
Is that the most stable version of Virtuous? If not, which one?

I tried 0.9.5 yesterday and is wasn't stable at all for me (random reboots, major lag with standard or advanced kernels), some Wi-Fi issues). Gave 0.9.0 a try and that was better but still not very stable to me. I've been a heavy CyanogenMod user since the 4.x days on my MyTouch3G, and have been using CM 6.1.1 Stable on my G2 since I bought it. Wanted to give HTC Sense a try, and so far it's slow as crap on my G2. Is there a stable/fast version out there that everyone here prefers?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ellises:
I don't know what the last most stable version is of Virtuous but 0.8.1 is the version that I used with the least amount of problems if any.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
For some reason on my email icon on my homescreen, when i have a pending email and the counter on the icon shows up, the number is backward..haha.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
That must be what I'm getting too. Random, and backward numbers. I didn't realize what you meant until I noticed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] k3y.m8ney:
Is there a way to turn 3g off on this rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YOSEFE:
Just tried again twice, apparently the keyboard slide does not wake the screen.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] edwill44:
Since 8.1, I have not had any of the issues that have been displayed here. The errors I've had have been user error. This new ROM is no exception. What I normally do is do a full wipe 2x, then flash. On reboot. I unlock the phone and leave it alone for at least 10mins. Then I reinstall apps+data with Titanium. Then leave it alone another 10mins. Finally, a shutdown then reboot. Had no problems with any of the roms. If I can find out why the display burns so much batt I'll be alright.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
calm down? I wasn't excited or upset... I was just trying to make it very clear that this is a bad thing, because it is the most common thing mentioned in this thread, and people (not you specifically) tend not to read or listen... so I thought maybe, just maybe putting it in bold red letters and caps, that someone else having the same issue might see it and heed the warning as well =) hence the reason for the way I formatted the post... but I was in no way yelling, mad or excited...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Carphedon:
That box is there in 0.9.0 i always tick it because the connection is more stable. When i untick it whatsapp and sort alike apps lose disconnect after some time. It does use more power though.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] edwill44:
Menu -> Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode. Click GSM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
No, they are working on it. Its based on desire z and the z does not have that on their keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] anbinhv:
I think they are arabic characters
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] anbinhv:
Another issue, cant run opera mini with this rom
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
I can't reproduce any of the "weird character" issues. Can someone tell me how to reliably reproduce the problem?

And if you can reproduce it:

Did you wipe when you upgraded?

What language are you using?

Did you mod your framework whatsoever (themes, etc)?

Did you use Titanium to restore anything? If so, what?

Most of the time we get reports of problems like this with insufficient detail. This doesn't help us troubleshoot at all. Be as descriptive as possible about how you generated the bug/error/problem if you'd actually us to fix it. Otherwise, such communications are purely informational since we cannot do anything with them.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] anbinhv:
1. I did wipe all 4 before flash

2. I'm using English American lenguage

3. I did not mod anything and i dont use any backup software.

Ps: thanks Rmk and EvilD about your hard work. I really like your sense rom the most. Beside this, sorry about my bad English.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jgro1976:
I did a full wipe (twice), installed, used the advanced kernel, so far it seems ok, but sliding the keyboard up doesn't wake the phone, and when I go to add a HTC widget, there are none displayed and if I try to select the blank screen, Rosie FC's.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Orite:
Does this Rom include the data throttling edits?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kingkonejito:
How do you fix mms I keep forgetting how to do it? I can recieve mms but I cannot send any out.

Is it possible to get the connection setup back? The automatic sim configuration of APN settings etc...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] geova87:
I really think that with the latest version they took a step backwards... It is so laggy I had to go back to cyan since I don't have .8.1... Which was to me the last reliable version of this rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
I disagree but either way every version we've ever produced is available here:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] burtcom:
I did not wipe, did not restore anything, and I'm not using any themes. Yet I have the Arabic numbers in the mail icon. I had American English set as the language before the install, and its still selected afterwords.

Tomorrow I'll try a wipe and install and report back.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cesarbric:
Magnificent job, reading about weird problems with the rom, but in my case I have not had any whatsoever, got finally my G2 a couple of weeks ago and since i like sense this has been the one i've been using as my daily, no problems to report on my side, running your latest.

cheers lol, keep up the good work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tuanda82:
My G2 cannot play video with V0.9.5 it keep flash and flash. (720p 3gp recorded by itself)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joshlusignan:
I am having same sort of issue...the video seems to be recorded fine but playback is a little messed up. I find that a reboot solve the issue temporarily.

I have another strange issue. When ever I start the market I loose my data connection completely and have to exit out of the app and then wait for data to refresh and then market is ok, this happens every time.

I am coming from complete wipe, and fresh flash and also did not restore anything with TB.

Even though I have tried twice already I will try a re-download and re-flash once again if no one can report same problems.

Other than these few things this ROM is now my daily. Really great work guys!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
You guys don't tell the whole story. You obviously flashed a different kernel than what was included with the ROM. Make sure you're using one of these:

http://files.virtuousrom.com/vision/kernels/virtuous/1.1/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] epeets:
Anyone having problems installing another camera app? I installed Vignette but it will not work through the camera button. The phone doesn't even recognize another camera app instilled and ask if you to want to make it the primary app or not.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] csjfong:
I have these two issues too.

The data connection issue on Market app was there since I flashed Virtuous 0.9 (with 1.0.9 advanced kernel). Now I flashed 0.9.5 with 1.1.2 advanced kernel, it still exists.

For the 720p video playback issue, I didn't notice that in 0.9, but it's there in 0.9.5.

Apart from these, the virtuous ROM is fantastic to me.

EDIT: the video playback doesn't always flashing, it just happen randomly. When I exit and play again, it may be fine.
