Wow you guys are great, thanks for posting fixes, files etc.

I'm debating re-wiping at the moment just in case there is a new revision coming out soon. I suppose I can live without mms pics for a bit, but this rom with a bit of overclock is just great. One thing I figured out was if you put the phone into silent mode then come out of it, the sounds for when you raise or lower your ringer volume work again. Not much to add but at least they work. Also I do want to report that I was able to pick up H signal while out at lunch yesterday so it's true, H is not disabled or anything.

How do you OC onn startup? THe OP mentioned something about an init script or patch. I couldn't find anythig after reading the first 10 pages or so. Anyone happen to know? I know how to OC manually from terminal/adb, but not have it done automatically.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gjm777:
I installed the BaconBits from eViLs thread for the DesireZ. After that just grab setcpu off the market and set up your profiles. I'm running 1113 at all times except when i lock the screen, then its down to the lowest clock possible.

Sure you could OC more, but the phone runs beautiful with just a bit more juice than stock.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KronicAnarchy:
I'm right there with you. It is in fact these changes alone keeping me away from this ROM. I know they may seem like minor things to some but they're deal breakers for me. Glad I'm not the only one that would like to see some of this implemented. I'm pretty new to adb etc. but I'm trying to learn and I may just try and edit the keymap myself, but it sure would be nice to just see those things incorportated into the ROM, I mean yes it's the Z ROM but we ARE building it for the G2 Correct, so it seems to me that having all the features of the G2 incorporated WITH the benefits of the Sense UI would be the ultimate goal.

Just my thoughts on the matter. Still a beautiful ROM though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PAVNEET101:
Please fix the problem of data connection going back and forth between 3g and hspa+ thats thee only problem i am experiencing and otherwise the rom is awsome please fix it cause it is really frustrating thank you
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
That's not an issue, it's T-Mobile's coverage. It's already been established that the stock G2 rom from T-Mobile doesn't differentiate between 3G and HSPA+ - you either get an E for EDGE or an H for 3G/HSPA - the Desire Z rom, on the other hand, shows you a 3G for 3G and an H for HSPA.

So, while your stock G2 might have always shown an 'H', that didn't necessarily mean you were *always* in HSPA coverage.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phawkes:
Quoted for truth. I'm hoping rmk can update the OP with this information because people keep complaining that they no longer have HSPA because of it. Truth is most people just might not be a in a strong HSPA network area.

Thanks,I'm oc'd at 1113 and luvin it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilive27:
Any ideas why my locations or maps aren't working on the mobile network? Works fine on gps but can't find my location using 3G. Wiped lots of time and did a fresh install...still nothing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blu3angel:
Dear rmk and evilD... I've been using your standard kernel flawlessly for the pass 2 weeks and i know by default the kernel speed is running at 998Mhz.. When i've tried to change the kernel to the advanced 1.09, i will always have random freezes with my phone.. I've tried everything like setcpu, cputuner and overclock widget like the other members had suggested but to no avail...

Can i request that you build another default kernel that run more that 998Mhz? Like 1113Mhz or 1.2Mhz? I really would like that extra speed set as a default and wouldn't want to go to the hassle of setting it up using a overclock program like setcpu or cputuner...

I really love this rom... Thanks and my regards for both of u..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] felixonmars:
Hi, I found another strange thing with my G2:

Firstly, I'm now running Virtuous 0.9.0 with the ad-hoc patch from this forum.

I set-up an ad-hoc access point from my computer encrypted with WEP, and connect it on my phone. Then the phone will automatically run another access point with the same name and no encryption, so non of my other devices could connect to the access point after my G2 connected.

The patch is for wpa-supplicant and Virtuous 0.8.0 does the same strange thing while the stock rom will not. My friend's Nexus One using the same patch and CM6 has not the problem either.

BTW, it would be even better if you could add the patch to the rom itself :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
As I understand it, the reason they chose 998MHz is because that's the highest they could set it without needing to also change the voltage.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] android602:
v1.0.9 advanced kernel is working beautiful for me..not a single wake issue responds really quick..I was using the standard v1.0.9 kernel but my I battery life wasn't working for me even though it was only oc to 998mhz...and I'm oc to 1.2 ghz with the advance kernel and I'm getting double double more battery life with this kernel

So I got my first Android phone today and out of the box I rooted it, and installed the rom :) I'm really loving it(coming from a bb) I seem to be having one issue so far that I didnt have noticed before I loaded the ROM. When the phone is in standby mode and you press the power button sometimes it comes right up and brings you to the lock screen and sometimes the screen will just stay blank (but home button, back will light up) and the lock screen doesnt come back up unless I press the power button a few more times and I'll see it flicker a few times before it does. Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fryrice8850:
Not sure if this has been asked...but is there a way we can keep the www./.com button intact? That would probably have to remap the whole key configuration of the phone
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] csufmedina1:
I have a problem..I keep loosing reception every 5-10 seconds and then it goes back to getting reception?? Does anybody know what's going on or a fix?? Thank you in advance

This is currently being discussed. Search the thread for help.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] graffixnyc:
Sorry, I didn't know what terms to search for. And this thread is over 338 pages so looking through it all would have taken forever. I'll see if I can find it though :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Understandable, it's a beast of a thread. We're also looking at a fix for the issue you reported.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] graffixnyc:
Thanks! So I tried searching but couldnt find it. But I'm assuming it's a known issue since it's being worked on :) Good to know it just wasnt my phone that was messed up! Are there any work arounds at the moment or just have to wait until a later build?

I'm really loving android so far! I thought I would miss my blackberry but not at all!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
Try this. Flash the 1.0.9 advanced kernel, install either cputuner or overlook widget, then in the profiles set up a screen off profile with these settings: governor = powersave (or conservative) min = 246 / max = 476. The rest of your profiles set to ondemand or conservative... I don't have any "flicker" or "wake lock" issues with these settings...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] andersonjacob54:
Using CPU Tuner in Virtuous ROM, I can't seem to lower the minimum frequency past ~700 MHz. It seems like that is the lowest frequency... I was actually hoping to have ~200 MHz for a screen off profile.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Duwenbasden:
I am running CM7 on Wind, no problem so far. However, this ROM will drop 3G everytime I open market.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Eclypz:
You can change the lowest available frequency in the settings.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Carphedon:
This also happens in Virtuous v0.9.0 sometimes. Start marked -> marked seems to be loading -> data connections drops and recovers after about 20 seconds. It looks like it's crashing a driver or something.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jboy15:
howz the battery life on this??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
You may need to do 2 things. First goto settings > system > min displayed frequency > set to "200" then at the top of that same page select "check system capabilities" the lowest your going to see is 246, but don't set your min and max to this, set the max to 367 or 476... enjoy!!! =)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] porkseller:
i got this same problem on virtuous v0.9.0

is there any solution to this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] havocnl:
Confirmed! also have had this problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lapy:
dang, I have the market problem too on my G2 :( When I open it, the 3G connection drops, and a connection error pops up... It's so annoying...

For the rest, this rom has everything I need. :)

EDIT: I have standard kernel if someone needs to know it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Carphedon:
There is also a problem with wifi.

Connect to wifi, send some messages through whatsapp, everything works fine. Turn screen off, wait a minute or 10 and try sending whatsapp messages again, nothing. The red clock stays there. You also can't receice messages anymore. This doesn't happen when connected through 3G. Not only whatsapp but several other apps won't function properly after some time. Force closing the app let it function again for a short time.

I tried serveral kernels, doesn't matter. It always happens in Virtuous 0.9.0
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tbalden:
Consider set wifi always on policy.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Carphedon:
By aways on policy you mean wi-fi sleep policy? That is by default set to "never"

Declining phone calls

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does anyone else get an android force close if they try and reject a call by texting the caller.....(IE:..your phone is ringing you hit menu and u get the option to decline call or send the caller a text saying whatever)...when i try this android system force closes and phone returns to sim lock screen......anyone else experiencing this.....by the way great rom and thanks to all the devs who contributed....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] felixk87:
all texts randomly deleted

For the second time all of my texts have been deleted from handcent and htc messages. The app didn't FC or act up, suddenly all texts were deleted. I know this issue has been mentioned before but I haven't seen any resolution has been offered.

update: this happened to me again this morning. I don't particularly care too much about deleted texts but it is annoying and curious as to why this is happening.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Hemi-Cuda:
so is there any consensus on which kernel gives the best battery life? mine was great before i upgraded to 0.9.0 and the newer kernels, then it just took a nosedive. it seems to be a bit better with pershoot 1.3 on there now, but still not like what i had before
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] khaosxiii:
Went back 10 or so pages - didn't see this - I'm sure it's there though somewhere in the 400 page thread - but oh well here we go:

Having the issue where the screen will not turn off (and sometimes on)

I'm just about breaking the power button on my G2

I went ahead and flashed CM7Beta - issue did not occur, then I flashed CM 6.1.1 - issue did not occur, then I flashed back to Virtuous 9.0 (using ROM Manager each time from GUI - Full Wipe) and I'm still experiencing the issue (WTF?!?!?) - Never happened before - about to flash back to 7.0.1 at this point ....

ISSUE:

-Hit Power Button to Power Off Screen

-Screen Powers off for 1 second and then right back on (i guess the release power's it back on?)

-I can hit it twice if i time it just right to have the buton release or something right when it turns back on and get it off - sometimes takes or 4 tries ...

Inevitably I'm mashing like crazy on the Power button and thinking I'm not doing the longevity of it any favors ...

Please let me know what the problem may be - thanks in advance - not understanding how this could be still an issue after a full wipe/reinstall ...

EDIT:

Trying this now:

... WTF, reboot holding down Vol = SafeMode?

-Booted into Clockwork recovery - Factory reset (Wiped - as I have many times already) - Same Issue

Looks like there are some conditions where the screen will not turn back on - but ... most of the time (90%) it will ...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
you must have been skimming, EXTREMELY fast... because this was posted within the last 50 posts... not calling you a liar... but all of the below, is directly regarding your issue...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
have ANY of you that are having this issue tried removing both htc messaging client AND messaging widget? and replacing it with the stock mms (I personally use the one from CM6.1.1 "dark themed")

just wondering... it seems the only people that are having this issue are ones that use the htc messaging widget and/or the htc messaging client...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] al3co:
I switched to the black themed messaging app instead of the HTC one after all my texts got wiped out last time, and switched from handcent to Go SMS (although handcent is still installed). Not had them all wiped since, but I'd probably wait another week or two before say it's cured it for me - fingers crossed though.

I've got an annoying white border though with the black theme messaging app - seen others with the same problem but don't supose there's a fix for it yet? Problem I've found with 3rd party sms apps is if i'm out of signal, the texts don't automatically resend (or send multiple times days later if using handcent!)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] collins521:
I've never had all my messages disappear. I've used v.80, then .81 and now .90. I don't use the widgets and mainly use ChompSMS but haven't had any issue with it. I had to replace the stock messaging app due to picture messaging issues though
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Carphedon:
Yes i did, replaced it with handcent. It works great but i can remember having the same isue once, all my message got deleted and handcent didn't display any of the messages i sent or received anymore. Even reinstalling didn't help. I had to put back a nandroid backup. Haven't got any problems since though.

It is not a problem with virtuous though, it's a bug in android. I read somewhere that some message cashe gets corrupted and android fixes this by replacing it with a new and empty one.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
by replace, I don't mean just install a new 3rd party messaging client, I mean to REMOVE the htc version all together, including the htc widget. I'm not 100% sure that would make a difference, but the common denominator seems to be htc messaging being used in ANY capacity...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blu3angel:
Woow!! All this talk about messages being automatically deleted and just now i've just recieved my 1st bug of all my messages being dissapeared... I opened my handcents and didn't find even one messages!!

Not a big deal cos i can always nandroid.. But had to lose just one important msg been sent by my boss earlier... Just couldn't recall wat he text to me for tomorrow assignment.. Hmm...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] khaosxiii:
So ... modify all of the stock clock settings ... not with the app that i own a license for (SetCPU - that is not currently installed) but with "CPUTuner" ... after flashing a non-stock Kernel ...

I did read this actually - wasn't sure why such action would be necessary after a clean flash/wipe w/ nothing installed ...

Thanks for the help.

Any Idea where these were moved to?:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bongd:
I get this too. I think it may be more of a problem with the radio hardware though. It absolutely sucks and seems to be getting worse. I've been pretty faithful to the Virtuous ROMs though so I don't know how much it happens with other ROMs and kernels.

Whatever it is though... fricken' BLOWS!!! One of my only real gripes about the phone. I can stand the poor camera, thankfully have a great hinge and can tolerate the poor audio quality. But the radio dropping every few seconds drives me insane! :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
Is that possible?

I unplugged my DZ at 4am, it's 5pm, and it shows 100% battery!

It's sunday so the phone remained sceenoff thos whole time (13 hours), but still, i'm really surprised. Looks like a bug to me. Or can the phone be almost dead while sleeping?

Using CPU tuner with screenoff profile like this:

- Governor: powersave

- Sppeds: 256-369Mhz

And also all my services were OFF for the night.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] anbinhv:
Is the link dead. I can't download.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
I own setCPU as well, as that is what everyone was suggesting at the time I first rooted and started to overclock, but after using it, and doing a LOT more reading... I started to notice some issues, and since moving to cputuner, I haven't had any of those issues...

on this particular rom the stock kernel overclocks to 998Mhz, but without the ability to run any profiles, hence the reason (I think, and experience seems to back it up) there are people with sleep issues even though they are using stock settings... the "advanced kernel, while it isn't "stock" is INTENDED to be used with THIS ROM... so it's not like your flashing a completely foreign object and hoping nothing goes wrong, it was built specifically for this rom with ADVANCED users in mind, but for me this is the necessary kernel as there are issues with not having AT LEAST a screen off profile with the settings I mentioned earlier.

what do you mean poor audio quality? of the speaker? or even when headphones are plugged in? I'm using some very high end earbuds and I think this phone sounds EXCELLENT... the speaker though is a bit lacking, but not what I would consider horrible... but I would never use my speakerphone speaker to listen to music anyways... maybe you could just elaborate on what you mean... just a little confused here.

how do you accomplish this? with tasker, or similar program?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Carphedon:
Yes i know, i did REMOVE the htc messaging app and widget, it does not make a difference.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
Sorry if I put a false hope or anything, but i just meant that i turned Wifi, BT, 3G, and Sync off before i went to bed :)

Just to add to my story, now i did 15min of Angry birds and my battery is at 97%. Wasn't a bug then, but still outstanding! ;) Virtuous powa?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lapy:
regarding the market bug, I tried to delete the apk's in both system/app and data/app and then install manually the latest market 2.2.7 but it still crashes the data connection :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] davidrol:
Locations Navigation License

I have a T-Mobile branded version that won't allow me to install the 30-day license for voice assisted navigation. The Desire Z come with a free 30-day trial and is synced directly with TomToms database. I prefer the Locations TomTom version, because it allows voice assists without a data plan.

I would think sdcard/.data/navigator/Data/Phone.dat and /system/build.prop would be the two of the files that are different being a custom G2 ROM.

Has anyone found a mod for licensing TomToms Navigation?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Did anyone encounter the SMS database clear with 0.8.x? Or did it start with 0.9.0?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] felixk87:
I like handcent mainly for the iphone bubble text format, otherwise I would have stuck with the stock sms app. This never happened to me before virtuous .8 (maybe it started with .81 but I can't say for certain).

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] collins521:
I had issues with the messaging app with picture messaging back with 0.8.1. It would give me a force close error when I would open the picture and then I wouldn't receive any texts after that until I restarted the phone. I didn't have .8.0 on for very long so not sure about that one. I personally got annoyed with the cursor automatically scrolling down on the htc messaging was the biggest problem I had and then when the issue with the picture messaging just killed it
