I did some testing on my side and this is my results:

I had overclocked my system to 1516 after initially flashing the rom and also restored my APN's, something I have been doing after a flash because it always seemed to help.

When I ran the market, it would take 20-30 seconds to come up and the mobile internet connection would go off and on complete. (You could watch it in the settings -> wireless connections area go to connecting and connected over and over)

Constant "retry" dialog boxes, while using the market, etc.

I reflashed Virtuois this time but I did not overclock it and did not restore my APN's.

Ran the market and it loaded rather quickly, 2-3 seconds and I did not have any connection issues at all. The mobile internet would change from 3g -> h constantly but it would not "disconnect, disappear and reconnect", from what I read it is normal for it to flip back and forth alot?

I then overclocked up to 1516, let the phone run for a few minutes and ran the market and it started taking a long time to run again. The mobile internet was not disconnected and reconnecting this time however you could see that it wasn't really receiving/sending data correctly.

I ran Speed Test with it clocked at 1516 and it was awful. It would time out and not even start or it would run at like .05.

I clocked back to 1368 (I forget the exact number) and tried again, this time it worked perfectly, I hit 2.1mbps and the market was working again.

Bumped it up to 1420, worked, 1497, worked.

Then tried 1516 and it didn't work again.

Obviously the speed each phone can handle is going to be different but for me just pulling back my mhz a bit helped tremendously, market is launching quickly and the mobile internet is not disconnecting, just flipping from 3g-H which I believe is normal.

I haven't yet played with it since reflashing and not clocking to 1516 while connected to Wifi to see if the 3g/h icon appears alongside the Wifi icon and I am not sure if that is actually expected behavior?

Edit** this is reply to kingmook **

I get that every time I master reset or switch a rom. However if I keep closing and waking screen, when the screen is wake I hold the power button then press back then close screen. Sounds weird but after about 10 times of repitition it will let me go to the home screen. Then I can just go through the set up.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] patoberli:
I beleive I found my keyboard issue. It's because Swype is now default and only comes with US keyboard. Is there a way to uninstall swype from this ROM?

If I go into Settings -> Applications and there select it, the uninstall button is greyed out. I can only "Force Stop" it, which seems to disable it for some time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Delete it manually from /data/app. I do that for every new flash with virtuous.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kingmook:
Apparently fourth times the charm. After my fourth redownload reflash it worked. Magic. Thx for your help though :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] patoberli:
@Tito

Thanks for the hint. I found it under /system/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk

I was able to delete it this way:

adb remount (will remount system as r/w)

adb shell cp /system/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk /system/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk.bak

Adb shell rm /system/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk

Thanks,

Did you restore APN's by any chance?

After my second flash, not restoring my APN's and not going to 1516 overclock the market has been behaving for me and I haven't noticed any issues since.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bcking81:
has anyone fixed the tiny pictures in mms. Thats the only thing killing this rom for me?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Disconn3ct:
I did, a while ago:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9283114&postcount=329

The OP should have picked that up before the must-wipe version, since it requires a wipe :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AGunz82:
Any word on the video problems?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bcking81:
okay. im lost so do i do this before i load the rom. and run adb in recovery?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AGunz82:
Somehow the video problems fixed themselves.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] silverton:
I noticed the Market thing last night, where it won't connect? I wasn't showing any network transfer either, so I just rebooted the phone, no battery pull, and it seems to be better now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AGunz82:
Nevermind problem still exists.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gteye:
Going to try this when I get home.

How come some people seem to not have an issue with the mms images but others do? It would seem without doing some sort of a hack like this everyone should have the problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NXUS:
It would be very helpful to have this included in the rom since a full wipe is already necessary.

For those of you with Market issues like me...there's a 2.2.7 out. I'll test and let you guys know how it is.

[EDIT] Ah phhoooeeey...its just an update so people running 2.1 can use the new market [/EDIT]
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slovoflud:
No i didn't.

It's kind or random and by no means a 100% occurance. Sometimes the market loads quickly without dropping the connection...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slovoflud:
The devs said they'll look into it tonight, I think...

I have a fix for the media playback issues with v0.8.0 (weird green line with Youtube, etc).

Just apply this patch via recovery:

Please report back with your results.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Weird, I never got that issue? Was it an issue with HQ playback? I haven't used HQ yet.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Yep, it was only happening in HQ.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Armani G:
anyone having GPS issues?? It will lock and work for about 2mins and then lose its GPS lock... So What I did was go into my location settings and turn GPS off than back on and I would get a GPS lock again and then it will stay... But if i restart my phone I will have to do the same thing again??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Okay, I will try and replicate the problems people were having.

Edit: Green line appeared, then flashed the fix, and it fixed it lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
Applied the fix and YouTube HQ is running smooth. No green line.

Thank you sir
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrbmg:
Again, homerun. This ROM gets better and better everytime a new version comes out.

Steady as can be an virtually flawless as I can see for the hour I've had it working. Flashed over the top of the other versions through ROM Manager then forgot that I read YOU NEED A FULL WIPE before loading the 0.8.0. Got home, sorted it out, did a clean wipe and loaded it back in and I'm loving it!

Thank you guys so much for all the hard work and time you put into this....

I am not sure if this is happening to anyone else, but my phone randomly reboots once in a while ..

But everything else is just lovely.. Absolutely loving this ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pyro9219:
I've not had this experience, might want to try a wipe and reload.

Still not being notified of messages :(.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Armani G:
Patch is working great thanks... But again is anyone having GPS issues?? It will lock and work for about 2mins and then lose its GPS lock... So What I did was go into my location settings and turn GPS off than back on and I would get my GPS lock again and I wont lose the lock... But if i restart my phone I will have to do the same thing again in my location settings!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jonno12345:
Yes I've had similar. Earlier it almost refused to lock, and when it did it thought I was in the atlantic ocean o.0...

Then when I rebooted a couple of times, it made a lock without a problem...

Saying that, I haven't wiped from stock rom -> this, so I am expecting my setup to be buggy til I can be bothered to do it properly :P. Did you wipe?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] android602:
Video is working perfect now.. fantastic job
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gteye:
I just finished testing this and it did fix the tiny MMS pic issue.

Some strange things I did notice:

1) After reboot, swype was not enabled by default, I had to turn it on.

2) Titanium backup yelled at me about configuration, I clicked fix problems and let it run and then it worked fine.

I am assuming that the files that were pushed in order to do this perhaps caused some of the things that would normally happen during the initial install did not happen the same way.

I am not noticing anything not working properly at the moment but I do wonder if there are some other things that didn't happen the same way it would have.

I'm sure if the authors worked in whatever changes you made to their rom it would solve all of it, unless you could merge them together?

I thank you for this information and to the authors for all their hard work.

**EDIT** The change looks to be pretty small, I am going to wipe and try editing the default.xml instead of using yours, to see how it reacts **EDIT**

Thanks again rmk and evil for this awesome ROM and the updates. The market issue is still there although for myself, it is only a small annoyance since I just have to wait a few more seconds before the data reconnects by itself.

BTW, seems Cyanogen has 2.3 running on his G2! Just when rmk and evil release a new ROM...out pops Gingerbread.

Thanks!

I followed this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9283114&postcount=329

Except I did not use the file attached to that thread.

I pulled the /system/customize/MNS/default.xml from the virtuous rom and changed the following from Desire Z to Nexusone:

<!-- MMS UA string -->

<module name="MMS">

<function name="ua_string">

<set name="single">

<item name="value">Nexusone</item>

</set>

</function>

</module>

Then I pushed it back to the phone and then rebooted and just went through the normal setup process.

You don't have to do anything with the other two files mentioned in the thread as they are already empty.

Had my friend send me another image and then I saved it and looked at it in the gallery and it was full size.

How can I get the htc sense clock wigdet working on cm or a non sense rom?? I know that the pretty widgets is out there but the new one doesn't look like it.

Oh and also I love the notification tone I'm using on virtous....is there a way to save it?

I love virtous but I kinda want to explore a bit ;) lol

Thanks guys

You cant becuase you need the htc sense framework to make it work. I would suggest you use beatiful widget from the market place
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrTeddyChills:
wut about the ringtone?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dansl:
Hmm, so 0.8 has been awesomely fast. But i found some issues.

1:Some apps were not installing for me( Angry Birds, groceryIQ, Galcon, and a few others). Even tried to restore permissions and they still wouldn't install.

2: Market is slow to load

3: YouTube has strange Green Bar on the top of all the videos, and quality is degraded...

I think thats all i've noticed so far... I had to downgrade back to 0.7.4 for the time being, just so I could get my apps back... I will try 0.8 again soon and see if it was just a bad flash or something. Hope this helps!

Thanks!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rsxtypes72:
Ringtones are easy. I just pull them from the zip from and have them saved on my sd card. They are in system/media/audio/ringtones in the rom. Or you can copy them over with any file manager that has root access.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gteye:
GroceryIQ and AngryBirds just installed fine for me.

The market took a long time on my first boot but after a reflash and not clocking to 1516 it takes 2-5 seconds to come up the first time after a reboot and then just 1 second after that.

I believe there is a patch posted in this thread to fix the youtube green bar issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrbmg:
I knew it was to good to be true, but honestly I think its a bad app backup from titanium bu. I would go through the motions after a full wipe, and get stuck ina bootloop.

Everything would start fc, and then it would just boot back to the quietly brilliant screen :( fixing to play around with it a little and see if I can get it to work if I can stop being so hungover for five seconds.

The thing that really pisses you off is after a full wipe and reloading, and taking the time to set it all up, its like your heart is being ripped out of your chest... ok maybe not that bad but you get the point.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chchia:
need to confirm few thing before i going to flash it:

1. can i remove the track pad wake function? i always put my phone in pocket and i dont want it to be accidently waken up.

2. can i remove Wifi Calling? i am not using t-mobile so i believe wifi calling is not working for other carrier? pls correct me if i am wrong.

thank you!

hmm, ok, maybe it was something i did, i'll try to re-flash 0.8. Thanks!

Is it possible to make your next rom with the USB-Host support? I saw devices with this (Desire, Nexus, even HD2 custom roms have it) ???

good to know that the blurry pics are getting worked on.

ps i know this has most likely answered before but when im using the rooted wireless hotspot there is no charge on tmobiles part, correct?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bmaing2:
So I was just thinking of some sugegtions for the the final rom I was thinking 2.3 of cource I would really like a cool boot animation also I liked in the app list how it curls over at the top and bottom I would really like that back. I know you guys put tons of work into these things but I think those things would be nice touches. Anyone else agree or have any other little ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mbergh22:
ok noob question but when android 2.3 comes out how would I be able to install it? How would I be able to install it now that I am rooted with a custom rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bmaing2:
Well the only phone that has it currently is the nexus s so you have to wait intill the devolpers can figure out a way to make it work with the device and there rom. Or wait intill tmobile releases it to the g2 wich won't be for a while we will have it a long time befor its actually released I have heard that cynogen is very close to having it with their rom but I'm sure evil and rmk will figure it out soon too. I guess we will see all I know is I want 2.3 sooon

After my last flash I noticed that my home screen (desktop) is not auto rotating unless I open the keyboard.

I've flashed so much the last few days but I remember it used to do this.

Apps auto rotate fine without opening the keyboard, just not the desktop, I assume this is controlled by the auto rotate setting which is checked.

Is there a file I can edit to make it behave that way again or is a wipe in my future?

Thanks.

Interesting, must be lack of sleep. I could have sworn the first few flahes of 8.0 it was rotating.

The auto rotate at the home screen was taken out for this update. The OP said in the recent changelist that some little features like that were going to be put back and implemented in other updates. Don't worry!

So far this is the best ROM I've used but I've run into a few things

- Youtube problem [fixed]

- Unknown sources is disabled by default?

- Clockwork recovery backup issue [detailed below]

The main problem I've had so far is that I made a backup of my phone after loading this rom (0.8), and today I replaced my phone, restored the backup, and could not see any of my apps or settings present anymore. I restored a few times and even tried just restoring the data partition, but no go. I've done full wipes, etc.

Under Settings / Applications / Manage Applications I can see the names of my apps but most of them are 0 bytes. After checking the size of data.img on my sdcard, I see it's only 7mb instead of the usual 40+mb I have for my other backups.

I tried restoring a backup from another ROM (modaco) and things are fine with that one. I am not sure if this is an issue with Virtuous or CWM...

Also, in case it may have affected things, I applied the youtube fix, and also used a modded htc launcher (replaced the personalize button with contacts) before I made my backup.

Fortunately I have a Titanium backup of my apps from a day or 2 ago. It just sucks that I have to setup my email and all that jazz. Not a huge deal, but I wonder if I will be the only one to run into this..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilive27:
This is the best rom ever. I have no problems with location based services now.

One quick question though can we use other kernels with .8 or is the stock the only one that will work?

What are you using to make these changes. in changing from default to nexus. Im not to good at using adb on the computer. Its so frustrating because i cant get rid of the tiny MMS
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SFVDan:
First time Virtuous user, and I must say that I think I like Sense more than stock. I had Sense on the MT3G Slide, and liked it. Sense is a very attractive user experience. Hard to choose between Virtuous and CM 6! Both are terrific.

Thanks to everyone who has anything to do with either of them. Y'all are doing a great service to G2 owners.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] beachletter:
Can you tell me where to find that modded htc launcher? I want to remap the personalize button too (but keep the sense style launcher).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rewen:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=876464

It isn't mentioned in the thread but you can just replace the launcher on the device using a file manager such as Root File Manager.

In regards to my post about CWM backup.. I think I just ran out of space on my SDcard causing the backup to fail without notice. I got all setup with Virtuous again, and did another backup, and the data partition was nearly 300mb this time :)

- when pressing trackpad button or power button, the capacitive touch button light up but the screen will not light up. I would have to press it several times for it to finally turn on.

-htc sense is not stable. it freezes up/crashes.

what could be the cause of this? Otherwise the rom is good.
