Ok, I just tested on the new build. It doesn't seem to be creating a draft. Here's what I did. I created a message to myself. Pressed send and before it sent, closed the keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Novek:
Hi rmk and evil... Would it be possible to implent the power control + some other features from the CM-branch in this ROM? Or does that depend on different frameworks etc?

Thanks for answers :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eViL D::
2.2.1 will feature the Desire HD's power control dashboard. Which, is pretty nice. But, to answer you question, it (cm power widget) looks framework dependent.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Novek:
Do you have any ETA on the Egypt ROM? :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
I forgot to add that, after I push send and close the kb, I push home. Then I go do something else, and thats where I see the "draft created" message.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Baba1472:
How do you think this egyptian rom compares to the current rom in your opinion? (I guess speed wise/ bugs?)

Also, any ETA?...I read the thread on the rom and it seems it has much better battery life and speed so I'm very eager :)

btw...Thanks for keeping so up with these new RUU's and updating your roms based on them...Virtuous is the only rom I will be flashing on my G2.

Edit: When you say 2.2.1 do you mean the version of the rom is 2.2.1 meaning some kind of upgrade from Froyo or is that just what you call it because of the name of the file?

-Baba
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Novek:
2.2.1 is a froyo upgrade :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mike96789:
Can't wait for the new update now, I've been wanting the power control in the notification pulldown for a long time now. This is the only rom I want to use, and it keeps getting better and better. Thank you!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
ETA is when it's ready. :)

Just so everyone knows,

we're going to require a full wipe for the next release

, since we're re-basing the ROM on a new RUU. So warm up your nandroids and Titanium (without backing up system data, that will break).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Going to answer a few questions in one response here.

Regarding replacing Swype with a newer version. The reason you guys are getting FC's is because removing the APK does not remove the related data directories. To properly remove the stock version we include, you must do the following.

adb reboot recovery
adb shell
mount /system
mount /data
rm /system/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk
rm -r /data/data/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk
(reboot)

Kernels. These are a constant work in progress but one thing is for certain: you cannot just go and use a kernel unless it is modified to work with Sense. As Evil already stated, using an inappropriate kernel results in broken BT, hotspot, FM, etc. This is precisely why we are providing a variety of kernels to you guys. We are not building our own versions of Cyanogen and Pershoot kernels for amusement, it had to be done in order for it all to work.

The best way to get anything we provide is via ROM Manager. However, you can also download from here:

http://files.virtuousrom.com/vision/

Mind you that is a raw index with no descriptions. So, again, not recommended. I know a lot of people prefer to manually flash via recovery but there's honestly no benefit. Use ROM Manager. It's easier for you and us.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Baba1472:
Even though you didnt quote me I figured thats directed towards me too. Sorry didn't mean to seem too eager or ignorant to how hard the process actually is which is why an actual ETA may be impossible to give. I was just asking for a time frame, more of like a few days or a week or two weeks or something, jus so I have something to go against.

Giving a time/timeframe more seems to ease peoples minds and reduce the amount of times the question is asked :) (though I do recognize that some ppl take an ETA to be a deadline instead of an ETA)

Regardless....Thanks!! Can't wait for the new rom, I hear good things.

Another bug I don't think I have seen mentioned: when I receive a mms I get a messages force close which causes me to stop getting any sms until I restart
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eViL D::
This isn't a bug. I don't know what it is. But, a bug is something that can be reproduced by everyone.

Any way to also disable the recent apps bar in the notif. tray? that + power control takes away all the notification real estate =/

howw would i go about backing up my current homescreen set up? is that where i would use titanium? there are not many apps that i would want to back up.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] android602:
I wonder how the 8 mega pixel camera that comes on the desire hd work on this phone... I can't wait for the update.. hopefully its an upgrade instead of a downgrade from this Rom.. because this Rom for me its almost perfect I haven't had any big issues with it.. I love this Rom if yall ask me..

When will the kernel be updated to 2.2.1 and released?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] supergear:
next week on xmas
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fox-orian:
Hmm I updated to 7.4 and I can't help but notice that a few things broke on my G2 in the process.

1) The camera no longer works. Start up the app, it remains as a black screen. The controls and everything is visible, but no actual camera feed. Photos are all black, too.

2) Auto brightness is buggy. If it detects a change in brigthness (that's dimmer) it will slowly turn down the screen brightness until it hits 0%. Since this happens just about any given moment, you'll be sitting there and the phone will slowly dim itself down for no reason, then brighten back up again when you give it something suddenly brighter to look at (like, when you move your head out of the way.) I like keeping my phone on auto-brightness, so that's pretty obnoxious that it basically has no threshold on what light level causes it to change.

7.2 was working great, though, no complaints at all. So I'm thinking this probably isn't a common issue since I haven't seen anyone else complain about it.

I'm gonna try to do a full reinstall instead of an update from 7.0 to 7.2 to 7.4. I'll let you know if it fixes anything.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pyro9219:
1) I'm not having the same issue as you with the camera, so hopefully that will fix for you with the reinstall.

2) I've noticed it's VERY sensitive on the auto brightness myself. One particular example that's easy to replicate.. Put 7.4 into auto-backlight and try to play Angry Birds. The position of your left hand will nearly always cause the phone to darken to non-viewable levels until you move your hand away. This hasn't been a problem with the keyboard flipped out while holding the phone sideways, however any application / game that operates horizontally with the phone closed has this issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
Camera works for me,without problems,but have

the same problems with Auto brightness.

I did a full wipe then flashed v0.7.0 and let phone boot.

Then I wiped dalvik-cache and flashed the "update_patch_0.7.x_to_0.7.4".
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
Got this,maybe it helps:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fox-orian:
Nice, thanks for letting me know it exists on other's too.

The camera, though, is fixed now. I reinstalled 7.4 and it was just an error from upgrading from 7.2. Looks like the auto-brightness is just a problem with 7.4 in general.

I like auto-brightness, so I'm wondering if I should continue to use 7.2 (or 7.3 if that doesn't have the issue,) until that's fixed, or if the fixes in 7.4 are ultimately more important to have.

Hmmm is there an official place I can nab the older updates?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thisisspeedy:
So I how do I use the ringtone trimmer? I don't see it in the app draw.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the1wingedangel:

Out of all the times to do this, I had my phone plugged in the charger and passed out for a few hours before I had to take my son to school. My alarm never went off because my phone froze up, not sure if this is why, but I was scaling smartass.

BTW, thanks RMK for the new kernel, seems to run pretty smooth. I noticed on quadrant benchmark, from ondemand setting, to smartass, there is almost a 300+ point difference, pretty crazy. Seems like this kernel is toned down a little bit, but very stable :)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BiscuitBee:
Thanks for the wonderful rom! It's been working quite snappy on my Bell DZ.

As with the G1/Dream, I'm pretty addicted to trying out every rom, normally flashing every week or sooner if there is an update. One thing I do miss from when I was running CM 6.1 (last week) is being able to run WiimoteController for my gaming needs. I know it has known issues with Sense UI because of the way Bluetooth is handled, but since this is a custom version of Sense, is it possible to it get it working?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cwirth7:
I just flashed this ROM and I am quite impressed. (I just came over from a N1 running eVil's Desire HD ROM and loved it). Is there any chance of getting the new sense player witht he SRS and Dolby built in and enhanced cover flow like eVil has in his N1 Desire HD ROM. That is a great program!

New kernel makes battery life horrible!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrbmg:
I'm sure I'm just missing it in the thread, but when on wifi I can't d/l mms. I'm a dirty truck driver so it kills me when all my buddies send me mms and I'm @ home on wifi and can't receive them. What really sucks is that it will try and keep d/l them until they are finally d/l, so I'll have 5 or 6 of the same message in one folder.

Also never been able to get locations to work, or merge with maps.

Also the auto brightness I can't grasp my hands around. I guess having your hands in different positions on the phone screws with it majorly.

Another major issue to me is battery consumption. Being gone for a couple of nights at a time, I pretty much have to keep my phone on the charger all the dang time. I've tried many governors on setcpu, and have found the best to be just setting up profiles with the on-demand setting. That smartass setting kills my battery so fast.

Anyhow, still a great ROM, and can't wait for the new version! Appreciate all the hard work that's being put forth to better my device.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HAK Devil:
Fixed it for you :)

Oh and the new kernel definitely feels smoother, thanks a lot!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jacky113:
Just flashed this over the stock desire Z sense, is it just me or is the auto brightness changing more frequently than the stock roms or other roms?

It seems to change brightness several times within a few seconds and i haven't experienced this with stock rom.

with the european version i will lose the g2 features ? thats the only difference ?

Hey rmk and evil, I just flashed this rom using the new kernal and I'm loving it so far, keep up the good work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
This ROM is based on the stock Desire Z Sense ROM, but has a few extras added/removed, like trackpad wake/unlock, the data throttling hack, etc. That one you linked to appears to be just a total stock Desire Z ROM - no changes or improvements.

Unbranding simply removes all the carrier-added bloatware apps and restrictions. Installing this ROM gives you the added benefit of 3rd party improvements like the ones I listed above.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] larrycarvalh0:
there for instaling this rom i will keep g2 fetures + few extras + htc sense ?

with the unbranding will loose the g2 features but will gain the htc sense ?

with all google maps and etc ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
Yes absolutely. The only G2 feature that's *currently* a bit wonky is the QuickKeys (the three user-changeable keys on the hardware keyboard). They're working on a solution, though, and it's expected in the upcoming v0.8 release (there's no ETA, but they're actively working on it). Other than that, everything works.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jcX4ever:
1) YouTube has some kind of memory garbage collection problem or leak. Every time I watch HD youtube and I close it, the phone becomes so sluggish that you can't almost do anything. My solution is to pull battery.

2) There are more than 5 instances where it wont wake up. I have to pull the battery again.

3) I can't send an MMS to multiple recipients.

4) There are more than 3 instances where my phone is dead when I wake up in the morning. I was late at work at one of those time. I have to set my G1 as alarm back up.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bitter1:
@Jarheadflip

Try the newer pershoot kernel listed a couple pages back or download it with the manager, it's v1.2

I had the Bluetooth issue but seemed to be ok after that.

Since then most everything appears to be ok except for the weird behavior on the stock Messaging App where it moves around and flips out while trying to type.

The rest seems smooth as buttah.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jarheadflip:
Thanks I will try yhe kernal
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
1 - this is an issue in the YouTube app (cause the bug is reported on stock ROMs, too. I noticed that if I back out of a video while it's in landscape mode, it hoses everything. However, if you rotate back to portrait in the last few seconds of the video (before it's over), everything is gravy. There's something going on with the YouTube app's ability to auto-rotate after a video has just ended.

2. What kernel are you using? (seems to be the popular question).

3. Haven't had that problem at all (then again, I'm using Handcent, not the default messaging app)

4. Are you plugging your phone in to charge at night? It's silly not to, and prevents this from happening.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
This is a quote from HTC Vision WIKI page, so the awnser is "no" ENG. Hboot is not required.

"INSTALLING ENGINEERING HBOOT (DZ/G2/DHD) - OPTIONAL and UNNECESSARY! Assuming you've backed up your phone with Clockwork's nandroid, you can install the engineering HBOOT (bootloader), which among other things allows you to use fastboot flash (or flashing-over-usb from your computer). This is unnecessary for most users but provides additional functionality for developers. This is totally optional and dangerous - if the write to the phone partition fails the phone will be bricked. At the moment there is no cure for a phone that has been bricked by a failed hboot install.
