Sure dude, I'll post it when i'm on my laptop

Sent from my Desire Z
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] viper2097:
@CrazyC: As Niksie said, Pulldown Menu won't be affectet, battery icons will be affected

@Niksie: thank you i also think it's a lot better now ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] azrash:
Just flashed it and the brightness adjustments are just nice! Many thanks to you :D it would be great if this will be integrated into the next release of the ROM :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gootah:
Soo....

So this version has MMS fixed?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
Thanks for sharing your modified framework files! I had a go, but unfortunately I have one of those LCD panels that tend to flicker now and again at the low brightness values, so I've had to revert to stock.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
quick question, did you modified anything else apart from the brightness change? if you did, is it possible to get a flashable zip that contains only the brightness change? i like everything else about my notification so i dont want it to change.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
When you make a flashable zip, it will always replace the whole apk.

This zip contains the framework-res.apk so any changes you have made to notification icons, and battery etc will be undone
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
fudge packins..... so if i flash it, it'll remove my battery mods and if i flash my uot over it again it'll take away the brightness mods? :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] _nobody:
remake the uot with that framework
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
thanks. I caught CJ on the IRC so he told me that too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] viper2097:
Yes, that will be the best way I think... I also don't like the stock battery and notification icons. Still searching for some notification icons to change because I cant find all... Maybe i will then do a second release with more colourfull Icons and the "usual" Battery-Mod

@ all: would like to get more feddback about how satisfied you are now with the custom brightness? Maybe it would then be possible for the devs to include this values in all unity rom's?

@ monomer888: sorry to hear that, if you could look with z device test on wich brightness it starts to flicker i could make you a second one with brither values if you like?

Does anybody knows why my framework-res.apk is about the half size of the original one? Could this be because i zipaligned it and the original one maybe isn't it? Or does the apk manager just pack the apk much better then HTC did?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
I will give your zip to rmk :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
Viper, great job on the brightness mod. it works great! I just had to go to UOT to cook in my own visual mods to it and it works like a charm
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
Thanks for the offer! I think I'll stick with the stock brightness settings as I prefer it brighter personally. Thanks anyway though! :)

Just as an aside, what I'd really like to see one day is the slow-glow way that Virtuous Unity changes the brightness. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] swinderz:
So what makes this better than the (stock) original one?

Confused
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
it has lots of speed tweaks and various other optimizations including the virtuous oc deamon
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
Hey Viper, thanks for sharing. The brightness works much better now. I even wonder weither HTC had been testing it before the release.

However:

1. I would like it a little brighter in average ambient light (in my office, it is barely readable)

2. The brightness happens to "jump" from time to time, often just after i turn the screen on (it appears bright, then jumps to low and immediately raises to bright again in a fade).

Thanks! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fredcorp6:
does anyone know if virtuous are working on an upgrade to sense 3.5??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] azrash:
this ROM is based on the official release by HTC. If HTC releases a Sense 3.5 update for Desire Z, rmk40 will release a virtuous's optimized version of it. you can try other sense 3.5 roms, they are ported from bliss
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
What you're looking for is Virtuous Unity. That's about as close to Sense 3.5 as you can get for now. I believe the team has said that they're waiting for a more stable release before they work on it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fredcorp6:
ok..

also can i run the unity v4 kernel on this rom??

---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 PM ----------

ok.. what about on virtuous unity then?

also can i run the unity v4 kernel on this rom??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
yes, you can flash the unity v4 kernel on this rom
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fredcorp6:
and i wont need to flash a new radio or anything right?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
nope. no radio needs to be flashed (unless you want to). just flash the kernel and youre set! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fredcorp6:
kl thanks man!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
pretty much. kernel and radios are two different things. V4 should work fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Niksie:
I've adjusted the values a little. It should be a bit brighter overall.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
Thanks! You're fast ;)

I'll try that right now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zofox:
Hi all, i've a problem, every time i try to enter in the setting

Of an system app (for an example calendar or web) it always says: process (name of the process) ha stopped work and you can only force close the app... It' s a big problem... Can you help me? :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Did you do a full wipe before installing this rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zofox:
Yes always... Mmm maybe if i reset the phone....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrEzzzkiel:
Did u use SuperWipe?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zofox:
I don't know what is superwipe.. i always do a data and cashe wipe ...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] morepr:
you need to wipe data and cache reinstall the rom and before rebooting the phone isntall the mmsfix.zip then reboot the phone and cahnge it to 3500k (default 600k) good luck
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Freekers1337:
To get back to this: I managed to trade my Italian Desire Z for a Dutch Desire Z, so now everything is working as it should.... finally !

Tomorrow I'll be reinstalling my phone the way I like it, which includes Virtous Sense.

Has anyone tried this rom using the Unity V6 kernel ? I know it works with V4.

Thanks !
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fredcorp6:
Yea i tried unity v6 and it worked fine... Only thing was that scrolling through home screens was a bit laggy with it so i reverted back to the sense kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] swinderz:
0 lags here on unity v6
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nouch02:
Does anyone know how to change the battery icon to normal? Thank...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
flash the original sense rom in cwm. Do not wipe. it'll restore the visual look.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nouch02:
What you mean original sense Rom? Can you upload it for me... Thank
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] txbrownrice:
So I'm trying to change the bootanimation but can't seem to find the file. Any clues?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
It's in /system/customize/resource/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
no. not the original sense rom. I meant flashing virtuous sense 2.0, the rom in which this thread is all about, over what you currently have. it will restore the original looks while keeping your settings in place.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dreamnewbie:
Flash virtuous again, and put blank file named use_stock_theme in /virtuous_sense folder on Your SD card.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Freekers1337:
Thanks for the replies. I flashed V6 and had no problems either, but V8 was released the same day so I'm now on V8. Also 0 probs.

Upload your framework.res to the kitchen and change the icon to whatever you like:

http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/

---------- Post added at 10:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 AM ----------

Thanks but that framework doesn't seem to work that well with my phone. For example, I cannot open 'Display' anymore in the Settings (it FC's). Also Llama crashes when trying to add events... Is this normal or have I done something wrong ?

Thanks

what are the advantages of flashing unity's kernels? would i see great improvement to the phone by flashing unity's kernel v6 or v8
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] michael9413:
now already v9.... flashed it already... have not really try it out yet... but smoother, that is what i feel... is it my mind telling me: wow newer version sure faster... or it is really faster...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Freekers1337:
I flashed V8. V9 is according to the topic start only compatible with 2.3.4 and 2.3.5. Virtuous Sense V2.0.0 is 2.3.3 so I'm not sure if that can give issues.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] azrash:
had a few FCs with v9 after dalvik wipe and fix_permissions, can you share V8 here? the unity kernel thread does not provide v8 download link. thanks!:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
Any particular apps FC? I'm using V9 without issues, but V9 does have some extra steps in the clock speeds, including a new lower limit. Had to adjust the oc daemon settings to take advantage of it.

Sadly I never downloaded V8 but may have V7 if you're interested.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Conan179:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] azrash:
had FCs when answering two calls, and also once when exiting the People app. cjward gave me V6 file in IRC, but i have just tried re-installing v9 two hours ago and so far everytime seems fine :) hope it'll stay that way for good!:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nouch02:
I used this rom about two week till this morning my phone randomly shut off... Does anyone have this issue??? Does anyway to fix it???
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spyderman33:
I have been using it on my wife's phone for 2 months + and no real issues with it... She would let me know if it had any problems...

Try fixing permissions on it and see if that helps...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Com.Chakotey:
Hello!

I use this ROM now a long time but i have one little Problem with it...

When i would like to play "Reckless Getaway" or other Games with cars then the Game is stuttering some times...like an PC where is to slow ;(

Its not every time and not to the same time its random.

The OC is @the moment @default 998MHz.

Use the V4 Virtuous Kernel...

Anyone an Idea?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
try 1152mhz max, every game is smooth when I got my phone at that clock:cool:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Com.Chakotey:
mhhhh tried 1200mhz and performance instead of "on demand" and the min on 800MHz with the OC/UV Beater2 v1.6 and still got the problem...

With my Xperia mini Pro the game run much smoother and better ;( and the xperia is on Stock!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
i'm running it at a mere 998mhz and i can run speedx 3D with HTC music running in the background streaming through my bt headset without a single hiccup. I think you're doing something wrong com.chakotey.

check how much free ram you have and how many processes are running as well as what mods you have put on it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Com.Chakotey:
Mhhh free RAM is about 70-80MB! that is much more then on my Xperia...

Im running Beautiful Widgets

Bild (Newspaper)

Extendet Controls

Facebook

Handcent SMS

ZD Box

THC Sync

N-TV (newsletter)

System Info Widget

Titanium Media Sync

Whats App

@ the moment 75,24MB Free RAM

But all is a bitt laggy ;(

The Kernel is the V4 Unity Kernel.....shpould i use standart kernel or V9?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] swinderz:
i lag like hell on v4 kernel (everything is slow). then i moved to v6 (it works) and its fast. ran both approx 806mhz (i think), governor at smart ass.

and now ive jumped to v9 and omg i run it at 768mhz max at smart ass. and i get the same good performance. havent played that game though as it cost money. ive tried drag racing, slice it, star dunk fruit ninja and no lag.

desire z, virtuous 2.0 w/ v9.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Com.Chakotey:
Mhhh tried v9 and its better yes but not so smooth like on my Xperia...stuttering is much much less but still there ;(

I OC it with OC/UV Beater2 v1.6 or should i use standart defaults?

Which is the best app or programm to OC?

Set CPU and the others will produce lags i read ;( because they need a little time to set the CPU speed ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
I usually have around 90mb + free RAM.

i think you might want to have your constantly syncing app run a little less often. it does take up cycles as you always have it running. FB is a hog as well.

If it keeps on going, all I can suggest is that you do a full wipe then flash, then test it out again. and add on mods that you've put on one by one. it might be something messing with your phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yozgatg:
Well I just returned to stock sense after a while of running MIUI, CM7 and Sense 3 roms. In the end it's still the smoothest rom (CM7 is faster in launching apps & benchmarks but the stock sense just feels smoother, especially browsing is very smooth while it lags in all non-sense roms due to the worse 3D driver)

The Sense 3 roms work smooth while you're home (scrolling between homescreens) however they do have a lag while launching apps and the lack of memory is killing off the sms app resulting in loss of messages (yes i know of the workaround with another app but still, this shouldn't happen with the stock sms app)

anyway back on track, I usually have 140+ MB of free RAM (currently at 172 MB btw) and this is with Google Talk, Whatsapp, Viber, Peep, LinkedIn and syncing always-on in the background. Moreover the battery life i'm getting is great (though MIUI/CM7 + Tiamat + OC Daemon also provide good battery life). And this is with the Unity V9 kernel btw, which works great so far (used V4 for the last week, didn't have any problems upgrading to V9 with a wiped dalvik-cache).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Com.Chakotey:
wow you have so much RAM free???

;(

I use not much (see on the top of this page) and have only 70-80MB free ;(

But btw sync tools are the same as on my xpedria mini and there it doesnt matter ;(

Lags are when i switch between the sides from sense first time but then it ran very smooth...

The Radio is not the problem i think?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
it's not the radio for sure. tha'ts got nothing to do with your phone's performance
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Com.Chakotey:
mhhhh something wrong ;(

Now im @ 1,2GHz and still a bit stuttering ;(

What i have is very often the sense surface break down ;( it goes about 3-5 seconds until all is up again the symbols etc...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
have you tried to do a wipe/flash and not add your mods?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Com.Chakotey:
I HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEM!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

It was the "System Info Widget" with an update rate from 5 seconds :(

Stoped the app and all was fine ;)

Now i deinstalled it and installed "Elixir" much better and NO LAGS in Games...

I'm so happy now this morning i was on Ebay to sell the Phone :D

Now i Love it :D

Thanks for your HELP!!! You are the best!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rdulay8:
how do you get the voicemail notification to go away? really annoying
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
Told ya it was something constantly running in the background.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Com.Chakotey:
Mhhhh i installed Chainfire 3D for the Game "Galaxy in Fire 2" installed the 3D Driver and the game is only "Black and White" ;(

Found a Version for Andreno GPU's and deinstalled the 3D Driver...

But now i have a stuttering in the sound in the Games ;/ its like a crunch

The Game itsself ran smooth but the sound crunch all the time like an gramophone record...

Anyone an Idea?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GunToYoMouth123:
Uh, i might have missed it...but whenever i recieve a mms it comes small. The photos are so tiny. Is there any waay to fix this? Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Com.Chakotey:
I Think it my happynes ways too early ;(

Since midday this day its the same stuttering ;(

Deinstalled the system info widget and some other things but now still the same as yesterday ;(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
com.chakotey...

i really highly suggest you wipe and flash your phone and reinstall your apps without putting in extra mods and test it out. You're putting something in there that is screwing with the phone. that's all I can say.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] viper2097:
Hi Guys!

Sorry for posting nothing so long, but i had much stress at work...

I did the brightness thing in the past and now i modded also the battery icon and the status icons. I think maybe the one or other wants it exactly the way I like it, and so I offer you my flashable zip:

Base: Virtuous Sense 2.0.0 Stock Rom

Changes:

1. Adjusted the autobrigthness:

2. Applied the "No recent apps" and "extendet settings" patch:

3. Added custom Battery Icon and G4 Bluesense 3d Status Icons:

ATTENTION!:Just flash the file in CWM, but make a nandroid backup before!

ATTENTION!:I'm not rersponsible for any damage to your device!

ATTENTION: Any modifications done to the framework-res.apk or the system-ui.apk will be undone with this!

Tested it without any problems on my phone, have fun with it!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Niksie:
Thanks man!

I would like to point out that normaly the most power is used by the screen (backlight). Because these values ​​are adjusted, powerconsumption is also different. I notice a significant reduction in power consumption.

So if anyone want a better batterylife, they should flash this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Daiskei:
wrong thread
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yozgatg:
looks good, however i would like to keep the stock icons

any possibility that you can post a zip that includes (1) and (2) but uses the original virtuous sense icons?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrEzzzkiel:
Wow! Didn't know there was this fix here... Looks great, but any chance of flashing it without the G4 icons? :)

I've also flashed sense3 lockscreen, will that be removed?

Thx!!

(Lol.... 2 souls, one thought)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] giammo:
do we need a full wipe from the original virtuous sense 2.0.0 ?!?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
No you do not. just do a nandroid, then flash via cwm.

it's a mod job so you do not need to wipe.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] _nobody:
how much free ram is everyone having? if im lucky i get about 80mb free, i tried recording a video at a show yesterday and it was really choppy and laggy.

is there any fix to make it smoother?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] viper2097:
If you want only the brightness mod, look some pages back, there i posted only this mod.

The other changes i did came from one patch (no apps, extended setting) and from the uot kitchen (battery, icons).

So everyone can take the brightness mod a few sides before which is stock and contains only this) and mod it himself with the uot kitchen ;)

(because of that, please don't mind capitalization)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrEzzzkiel:
Flashed your second mod, and it works like a charm without removing my extended settings or sense3 lockscreen... :)

Thx a lot, mate! Awesome work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] viper2097:
You're welcome!

You flashed the sense 3.0 lockscreen? So do you also have the sense 3.0 lockscreen when you get a call or do you still have there the normal sense 2.1 lockscreen to accept or decline a call?

(because of that, please don't mind capitalization)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
Thanks for this! Great mod, especially the removal of recent apps, makes the pull down bar so much smoother.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] viper2097:
Thank you, but thats not my work ;) i just used the "no recent apps" patch myself. I think it's from cjward23(?)

(because of that, please don't mind capitalization)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrEzzzkiel:
I've got the sense3 answer-screen... I kinda got used to it when I was on InsertCoin... But ghostly sms gotta be running in the background, otherwise I might lose a sms... Well I don't lose it, I just don't see it straight away... But I can live with that... :)

http://www.multiupload.com/H573WKLQA6

I tried only the brightness mod, but when I flash it, I cannot open the 'Display' settings anymore, it FC's. Is this normal ?

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] viper2097:
I would be looking for the sense 3.0 lockscreen & answer screen, can you tell me what do you have flashed? Do you really need to use ghostly when you only have the lockscreens from sense 3.0? Do you also have the options to use shortcuts on the lockscreen? And do you have the orange led bug?

Thank you!

@freekers1337: never heard of that that my brightness mod causes fc's, sorry, but i think your problem comes from somewhere else...

(because of that, please don't mind capitalization)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Freekers1337:
Apart from your mod, I have nothing else flashed, just the stock ROM with Unity V8 kernel.

I'll try again this evening.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] viper2097:
Make a clean wipe before flashing a rom, I can't imagine that it comes from my mod...

(because of that, please don't mind capitalization)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] farsanx:
One of the bests roms for DZ. It would be really cool an update. Thank you.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Freekers1337:
My apologies, it wasn't caused by your mod, but the customisation of your mod by Niksie.

If I flash this .zip with adjusted values by Niksie, it makes my 'Display' settings FC's. Also a wierd icon appears when I lower/raise my volume.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17566688&postcount=6458

However, your original mod works fine ! Using it now, looks great.

Thanks man.
