Never flashed any other kernel, just what was included. I guess I need to know...is the advanced kernel the included one or is it standard. Thanks for the info.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NoFatePPC:
is the notification SMS bug also present in the Virtuous roms? Like we have on the stock roms , when you dont get always a notification when a SMS is received...

I have it on the 1.72 Stock rom? was it also present on the 1.72 Virtuous rom of even now the 1.83 Virtuous Rom ?

Thnx

i havent had the weird email numbers in a while, it hasnt happened all day. but if you want me to describe the long reset of the homescreens i will. if im switching in or out of landscape or portrait and coming back in and out of apps, the homescreens reload everything, and takes about 5-6 seconds for everything to be set again, including the widgets and even the icons. it does not happen when im simply flipping the keyboard when at the homescreens.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mike96789:
I have the flashing in my video playback as well. I am using 0.9.5 with the standard kernel with no setcpu or CPU tuner. The flashing occurs in either a sector of the screen or the entire screen. When it is just a sector of the screen it is random.

I will try using another video player beside the stock one and report back if it still persists.

EDIT: I used VPlayer and there was no flashing during playback of any of my recorded videos .
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
I'm hoping for a patch soon? :/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JCreations:
- I did a full wipe before updating.

- After the update i flashed the new kernel.

- I disabled google backup.

- Language is Dutch

- No Framework Mod

- No Setcpu or anything

- I did use Titanium to restore some apps. Colornote, XDA, MSN, Whatsapp, Astrid, Astro, Skype, Root Explorer, SMS backup & restore and printershare.

- The widgets (Simi clock and battery circle) that are giving problems are reinstalled from the market right after the update BEFORE Titanium restore.

Simi clock only messes up the date format and battery circle gives arabic numbers.

However Pure Calendar is working perfectly.

I had 2 random reboots yesterday, can't really pinpoint what i did before the reboot.

For the other users about the battery usage from 0.9.5. After 3hours usage it dropped 6% here today with a screentime of 30minutes. Hope this helps a bit.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] havocnl:
No no no :P Leave my TAB alone! ;-)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sandrome:
You could make a patch or something for this problem. Desire Z and G2 have different keyboards so there's no other way to make everybody happy.

I removed Wifi-call using Rmk's file and the strang SMS no more apear.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] geova87:
Don't get me wrong... I do appreciate the work you guys do... and the added features to .9.5 looked awesome (I really liked battery % on the battery) but it was laggy (i wiped everything and kept the kernel that comes with the ROM, I'm not into flashing different kernels)...

Any suggestions on why the ROM was laggy and how to fix it...? I'm willing to flash it back since I really like Sense and find it very useful and goodlooking...

Thanks in advance

For those with the video playback issue - is it happening when you record a video and then immediately try to watch it, or is it happening on older videos, too?

Froyo has a really frustrating bug where the camera app doesn't correctly report the file size to the system - it shows up especially when you snap a photo and immediately upload it to Flickr/Facebook/whatever. It's solved by forcing the system to rescan the media folders.

I use Extended Controls, and have the 'Rescan Media' button on one of my bars. Pixelpipe has this issue, and I've talked with them at length about it. When I get home (i.e. off my work firewall) I'll find the link for you, but it's documented on Pixelpipe's blog if someone wants to check it out.

Anyways, IF the problem is on videos recorded and then immediately tried to view, that *could* be the issue. If it's on older videos, it might not be.

In either case - I was going to request that the devs add a trigger somehow so that anytime the camera (still or video) records something, the system automatically rescans the media folder. ShootMe does this, and I believe CyanogenMod does the same thing (don't quote me on that). Could be an easy fix.

On another note, unchecking that Best WiFi Performance box fixed my battery issues. I'm back to getting monstrous battery life, like I did on v0.9.0. :) Me happy bandito.

Since 0.9.5 i haven't got any extra character in the fn symb when using physical keyboard.

Since i flashed i seee a force closes of com.htc.bgp every 5 minutes. I wiped! I tryed "fix permissions". How can I fix thit issue?

Also I have a "flashing" issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
I spent most of last night trying to figure this one out. I'm still not sure what's going on unfortunately. I have what I'd consider a hack to resolve the issue but it isn't a good fix.

Create a nandroid backup.

Settings->Applications->All->Settings Storage

Clear Data

Reboot

There are residual effects of doing this, which is why I recommend the nandroid. You'll obviously need to reconfigure some basic settings as well. I'm working on a better/more proper solution, but this is all I have to offer right now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] burtcom:
Wipe and install -- plus let the phone sit for a while, and now I have roman numerals on the mail icon.

I'll restore my apps (not system data) and see what happens...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mike96789:
The flashing in the play back is happening to my older videos that I recorded prior to 0.9.5, but when I play them in VPlayer everything is fine, they play perfect. I will try to record a new video and see if I still have the flashing problem

EDIT: Just recorded something on widescreen and on HD modes and the flashing is not there, seems to just be happening on the older videos recorded prior to 0.9.5.

EDIT: Just noticed that on both recordings that there is a white line at the bottom of the screen when replaying the video.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YOSEFE:
That is strange because I recorded on the 0.9.5 this afternoon to video format 720, replayed, and parts of video clip flicker blue colour.

EDIT: I did another video recording using widescreen format, and there was no flickering. So I recorded a 720 dip clip, and the video clip flickered. What video resolutions/modes are flickering with others?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
For anyone missing the options in the power menu, I am happy using the Widgetsoid 2.x app.

It's similar to the extended power control widget, but one of the custom toggles is a reboot button.

In the adv. settings you can choose reboot to recovery etc. There isn't a popup to make sure you want to reboot if you hit it by accident, but if you don't have "remember" checked when SU comes up, you can just use that as a confirmation dialog. Comes up every time after that with "remember" unchecked.

Battery life dropped from version 0.8.x to 0.9.x (around 6-8 hours difference). But now it's jumped back up and maybe a little more. I've additionally uninstalled SuperPower which disables Wifi and APN during certain instances, so even with the slight bump in power consumption I'm still getting around ~30 hours or more. This is awesome!

I've stopped using weird system applications and just going pretty close to stock and using the regular kernel. Homescreen doesn't slow down. Launcher Pro just has the same old widget flicker sometimes but I can live with that. Everything else is blazing fast. :cool:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nivlac978:
My hardware keyboard is a little wonky. Sometimes the screen scrolls up mid typing and I have to scroll back down to finish the message.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arich:
That's a common G2 issue caused by the optical trackpad
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
Just a pre-emptive note that everyone should wait a few battery cycles to let the battery guage adjust before true battery life is observable.

Mine was dismal on day one, but by day 3 is is quite good. A poster above confirms this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mike96789:
Widgetsoid is ok, but I don't like the extra pop up to choose what you want.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gniouki:
Not exactly the same problem but this process drain my battery.

Batterymix says it use 40% of my battery.

From my search on the internet it seams to be linked to facebook but i tried to delet my facebook account, didn't change anything.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nivlac978:
It has never done it before using this. I don't usually use sense. Is there a way to stop it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] collins521:
Well after following this thread even more since 0.9.5 came out I'm glad I'm not the only one with the arabic or roman or whatever characters. I installed 0.9.5 and was excited to see the difference but then found those out and rolled back to 0.8.1

Also since RMK also said not to install any themes or framework edits since it was a different framework than what the kitchen could work with or something. Also when I tried to install fonts it didn't work either. I'm not sure if it's changed yet or not but I'm holding off lol. I'm still getting roughly 10-12 hrs of use on 0.8.1 so it gets me through my work day. (That's normal usage for me btw 3/4G on, screen at 28%, and usage like Twitter, GMail (3 accounts sync'd) and firing like 200-250 texts in/out)

Hopefully we can get all these issues ironed out, I'm gonna stick to Sense due to the camera personally vs any other builds out there
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] csjfong:
Anybody experience the data connection lost when Market App is launched? I am using virtuous 0.9.5 with 1.1.2 advanced kernel.

For those without this issue, which version of ROM, kernel, and Market App are you using?

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
I get this too. Mobile data kicks on for a fraction of a second. It boots me off of irc, but I haven't been inconvenienced enough to take note of it. But now that I am thinking about it I don't remember it being like this on other roms.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bongd:
Agreed, and quoted so others see it. It can be very important, even if there are just marginal changes from one ROM to another. I've seen battery cycles zip through in just a few hours.

I don't know if it helps, but I have an obsessive compulsion to delete the battery stats and give it a cycle or two before commenting on the battery life. I've done this and get almost a 20% increase in battery life.

I've been using the normal kernel since it was first released on IRC and it's been holding up through the abuse I put it through. :cool:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] burtcom:
Well, I didn't get very far -- went to do a nandroid backup and after the boot it was back to Arabic numbers. :confused:

This is the stock Mail icon -- I tried removing and re-adding.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] trazipomoc:
Im having pretty bad battery life. This is the second day im on this Rom. Pretty light use but it wont last all day. Previous versions of this Rom as well as all Cm and stock lasted all day with similar use.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
Check to make sure you don't have the Best WiFi Performance box checked. With it checked, mine sucked up battery like no other - without it, I'm back to 12-15hrs of moderate use (which is good for me).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] conizius:
Hey there,

tried 0.9.5 yesterday (up from 0.9) and something went horribly wrong the whole day :(

At first it looked good, new stuff available, running.

But after a restart my messaging app forces quits (stock as well as handcent) and my sim keeps locking when I turn of the screen.

Therefore I always have to enter my pin again and it's kind of ridiculous to have a mobile having no connection while in standby... it doesn't happen that often that someone calls me right when I'm using my phone.

I wiped before flashing and restored nothing except that google brought back some apps (may this be the cause? wherent that many because I lost my market database once...).

Did anyone saw something like this before?

Went back to a backup now to use my phone :(

Greets,

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NetStranger:
I do not know where you find the quirks in 0.9.5. But, finally, a button to change the language works as it should, and not as it was in 0.9.0. Please do not touch it anymore
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] epeets:
Good thing you had a backup. It seems that for some reason your sim card went nuts when you flashed this rom. Quite weird, but assuming you pulled battery (while phone was on) and pulled the sim card then reinstalled it, I'm not quite sure what else you could've done but restore. I think it might be better to try flashing this without rom manager (using straight recovery) and see if the problem occurs again. That's about as best advice i can give hopefully someone with a lil more knowledge can shed some more light.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] conizius:
Well I used the recovery :(

And I tried it twice with the same result.

I think, unless someone asks me to try again, I'll stick with 0.9 untill the shutdown menu is back online, because I really felt like missin it.

i don't have any problem with 0.9.5, battery life in edge mode around almost 2 days with standard kernel. no force close..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ha-oded:
I am getting this too (and other users I know too) since version 0.8.0 and still waiting for this to be fixed. It is not only a Market issue. The same thing happens to me also when I turn on Waze application.

This is a virtuous ROM issue since it does not occur with other ROMs and also not the stock ROM (from what I heard).

I would really love this to be solved... since it is a really annoying bug.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arcance:
hmm problem Wifi reconect - not work

help only reboot.

which button is that mate? you are referring to a hardware button am i right?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bongd:
I don't understand why I seem to be the only one who ever has success flashing ROMs and kernels because I'm still relatively new at this.

Did you guys wipe and NOT restore data? Even when I accidentally restored data I didn't have many problems. When I did things properly it's always run just fine. Drain the battery and look into deleting the battery stats too. I'm getting around 30 hours with the Best Wifi Performance option enabled. No task killers or anything else... I only kill tasks for a couple apps which are stubborn.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:

Sorry if asked n answered but how do u wipe battery stats? Thank u
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chris2busy:
boot into recovery > advanced > wipe battery stats.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bouzouki:
first of all, i want to say thank you for this rom... it is wonderful. i have been using .9 since i got my g2 a couple months ago and i am loving it. thank you again.

3 questions that i have are:

1 i heard that the older versions of virtuous, before .9.0 had the homescreen that went to landscape mode without the keyboard being open. is this true, and if so, is it expected anytime in the future as an update? ( this is a really big pet peeve that i have with android and i would rather not use another launcher other than sense, i really enjoy sense. i used to have a blackberry storm and loved the fact that i could go into landscape mode at anytime.)

2 i really love the power options on .9.0 and didnt notice them on .9.5. i know its been discussed already, but didnt see an answer on this. can we expect it to be included in any updates?

3 what are the major changes in .9.5 because i didnt notice any major changes(no disrespect, maybe i didnt play with it long enough, because i went back to .9.0 after about a day)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
just be patient... 0.9.5 ended up being a bad idea (not wwe based, and a lot of little bugs, nothing major but annoyances that shouldn't have been) there is a new ruu out 1.85 that seems to be "universal" but if that doesn't pan out, beta1 of 0.9.6 (updated version of 0.9.0, only MINOR mods) can be had if you log on to IRC via instructions in this thread...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ze4life:
Actually i have a feature request from rmk, 0.9.5 was the first rom i seen that properly display arabic letters with the correct font and with the letters joined together as they should. Is it possible to include that in the next versions also??

I'm running v0.9.5 and I'm switching back to v0.9.0..what I love about 9.5 is the BATTERY PERCENTAGE so hope next update has it..but 9.5 has a lot of bugs..it keeps on randomly rebooting and a bug on the messaging app that gets on my nerves..when I'm typing on the keyboard the typing takes for ever..but I still love this Rom iv been using it since day one as my daily Rom..just v0.9.5 didn't work for me..but I still love v0.9.0

I've had the text deletion issue three times this week now, getting v annoying!

I've replaced the HTC messaging app with stock, started using Go SMS instead of handcent, and stopped using all messaging widgets...yet it's still happening!

The messaging apps all crashed last night
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] al3co:
Oops brushed against the send button before i'd finished.

The stock messaging app and other sms apps crashed last night and then I woke up to find they'd all been deleted. Did a restore from titanium, restarted, got a text later, started a reply and saved it as a draft to finish later, but they were all gone again when I went back. Restored via titanium again, got another text but it didn't wipe this time.

Am on 0.9 rather than 0.9.5 btw.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chris2busy:
Some feedback..smartbench on this rom gives hideous results, we are scoring less than nexus one's .. no idea as to why.. using 0.0 ver with latest advanced kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] havocnl:
Also had this a few days back after using 0.9.0 for some time... Now upgraded to a beta build... hope this doesn't happen anymore..

Btw what option in titanium contains the action sms/mms messages??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] al3co:
It's the [SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage bit, in a green text in titanium. I'm developing text backup OCD so hope this gets fixed soon!

I really hope google will fix this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] drklink:
At first when I downloaded this rom it worked great, but then on the second day of use... my touch screen became real unresponsive and laggy. My physical buttons work fine like the trackpad, keyboard, and power switch...

When I try to slide to the next home screen, it only slides halfway and I really have to continually trying to swipe over to the next screen....

When I click on anything that can be clicked on.... it'll receive it as a long press

I thought it was just a rom issue so I just went back to the rom I was using before.... the same thing happened.... so I went to try another.... same thing happened....

Although there are random times when everything works fine, but just for a short time

Could my screen be defective? Or did the rom mess something up internally in the phone???

Any ideas on what to do to fix?

Every time I change roms... I wipe everything and don't do any sort of back ups....

THANKS!!!

Besides that I'm not having any of the problems mentioned. Great rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hoffreaper:
Enjoying this ROM

I notice people having all these issue with 0.9.5 but for me 0.9.5 is responding better then 0.9.0. Using Quadrant Standard I'm getting some very nice response on the ROM. With SetCPU it seems to be responding to my profiles better then 0.9.0 did which helps significantly with the battery life on my phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] IMPEREAL:
@rmk40 I understand people are having alot of issues with 9.5 but its actually the only version that the messaging has worked 100% pictures & all
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
The funny thing is...its so easy to get the proper keyboard layout files and push them into the rom.

I don't run this rom myself but for those who need the proper keyboard....

Mount sys

Pull the keyboard lay out files from your stock rom that came on your phone or if your like me and have a T-mobile G2 than u could just pull from CM 6.1 (do a google search on locating those if you dont know already)

Use adb or a file manager to copy those files into your current rom's keychar folder. (Again if you don't know the path to the key layout folder than just google it)

Unmount sys

Reboot

Done and done!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] evilive27:
I had a few lagging problems with 0.9.5 before and then I wiped everything and started from scratch. For me, its the best virtuous rom I've used. Very fast and responsive, no fc's or any other major problems. I do have arabic number on widgets and on some websites, but that's it really. I hope 1.85 is as fast and responsive as the arab 1.83 base.
