itsll be great to have the swype back on board. Would it be skinned or just like the one that came with the phone? Also, I notcited that its a little sluggish whenever I have the phone open and the screen is locked and I slide the unlock sense bar horizontally, is that how it is? Or would there be a different way to go about that? I was using the newest cyanogen rom and I just had to come back to this. Haha!

All my messages mysteriously vanished. As stated before and I believe some were saying they haven't experienced this. Trust, this is a problem. However the rest of the Rom is good enough to keep using it everyday.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] astroblack:
This rom is amazing!!! Thank you so much for your guy's work.

btw, I am new to the sense UI but is there a way to change the dock buttons? For instance, instead of the "Personalize" button, I want to change it to contacts.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] felixk87:
so excited!!

thanks for all your hard work!

while I hopefully have your attention do you know if there is a way I can replace the sense lockscreen/calendar with the vanilla version?

thanks again

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bmaing2:
I would like to see this done a patch just because when its a full we have to clear everything out and i personally dont like having to put everything back on. However if there is a lot of changes and its awsome then be all mean a full new version is much apreciated. Thankyou guys so much for every effert you put in this stuff

Well I have found that if you sign into the HTC sync or whatever when u 1st start using these ROMS it saves almost everything so there is almost nothing to re set up. Just thought I would share that. ;-)

Took a few days longer than we though, but 0.7.3 is now available. Evil did the bulk of the work for this release, all credit goes to him.

Enjoy!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] verkion:
Thanks so much for all your hard work guys! Quick question regarding "smartass governor" and its use, we just set the scaling to "smartass" in SetCPU to take advantage of this correct?

I notice on reboots that even though in SetCPU I have the slider at 998, (and my profiles set to 998), SetCPU will show "806 Max" as opposed to "998 Max" unless I change the slider manually. Bug perhaps?

Thanks!

I personally did use this setting to switch to edge and back, is there any other one click switch for that on this ROM??

Well this sucks, now I can't even get 3g because I can't get into the mobile settings option. It kind of defeats the purpose of removing data trotting when you can't even use data. Does anyone have a link to 0.7.2 update, so that I can flash back?

Great ROM! Awesome work. Thank you. Have a merry Christmas!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
First off, I *really* appreciate the work you guys do - This was the first and only ROM I've flashed on my G2 and it's gotten more awesome with every update...

Unfortunately, I'm not really sure I see much good in this update.

The data throttling thing has got me kinda tripped up, for a few reasons:

1. As I understand it, T-Mobile only throttles you after you hit 5GB for the month - how many people really are really affected by this?

2. I understand that it causes a FC when you try to open the Wireless and Networks area - I use this every single day, as I have to switch to EDGE-only when I get to work, cause my desk is a black hole and my phone will constantly switch between EDGE and 3G if I don't.

I see that you can enter in a code to change this - while that's not really preferred (I'm assuming there's no confirmation or whatever), it might work OK. Could I use Locale to dial a number (that code) at specific situations? It's a rough workaround, but it might work.

Also, I rather liked that my phone would automatically unlock when I opened the keyboard - logic would dictate that if I'm opening my phone, I probably want to use it, and will unlock it anyways. It seems as that's disabled in this update - is there a way to re-enable it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] phoenx06:
Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew how or had a link to change the right button shortcut on the Sense launcher. I remember seeing this on the Incredible, but I can't find the links, plus we are on a newer Sense version, so it may be different. I find "Personalize" to be a wasted shortcut, as you can hit the menu button and get to it from there. I'd much rather it be "Messaging". Anyone know?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dadewy:
Did you try my suggestion from 4 posts or whatever back?

If that still doesn't work to get you back on 3g, try this:

- Get the original virtuous zip (the virtuous-vision_froyo_rom-v0.7.0 one)

- extract /system/framework/services.jar from this zip

then from a command line on the pc (assumes you are in the same folder as services.jar):

adb push services.jar /sdcard/
adb shell
su
cp /system/framework/services.jar /sdcard/services.jar.backup
busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
cp -f /sdcard/services.jar /system/framework/
chmod 777 /system/framework/services.jar
sync

wait a minute, reboot.

This should undo this one part of the .3 upgrade.

Untested since I haven't upgraded to .3 yet but it's fairly harmless to try, line 4 even makes a backup of the .3 file, just in case.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SamZzz:
Maybe not...

OK.. So I just got out of a meeting and saw the ROM manager notification that there was a new patch for this ROM. I was excited to see what changed but decided to look here first. Glad I did. I'm seeing issues that require pushing files to fix... something I cannot do while at work. I do ALOT with my phone but have never hit the 5GB soft-cap... and even if I did, I'm usually not in a 3G area much less 4G so being throttled to EDGE would make no noticable difference in my phone. That being said.. I think I'll wait. :o

Thanks for keeping the development going. Hopefully the next update will have the bugs worked out of it and something useful. :) Since I got the Swype Beta invite yesterday, the only thing I'm missing now on this ROM is Bluetooth voice dialing. Put that in and I'll NEVER switch back!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AGunz82:

What's so bad about it?

I think it functions as is should now. I don't have to go to display and turn off auto brightness and set it to the lowest setting in the dark or dimly lit areas now. Plus it will save battery life.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] felixk87:
I experience this too, especially when using the stock messaging up, but its not specific to .73 (I am using .72). I believe it has to do with the sensitivity of the optical trackpad. Reflection can register as movements

Also two questions...

After using watching one youtbe vid the whole rom starts slowing down for some reason? So slow that I gotta restart it and its all good.

Another , when I text with my keyboard...the text box moves up by itself than takes me all the way up or of the writting box,making me scroll back down and clicking it back to write.

Thanks...loving this rom so far though.

Oh man, I thought I was the only one, I don't think it's rom specific, it's happened to me on other roms aswell.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
This is a known issue with the latest ClockworkMod recovery - has nothing to do with the ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
Been testing for a little while now.

I realize that autobrightness is working as it *should* now, but honestly, I don't like it. It gets much too dark in some situations now, to the point I can hardly read the screen. I think I'd prefer to have it back the way it was (even though I recognize that was apparently 'broken'). Is that a possibility?

I'd also like to throw a vote to get the unlock-with-keyboard-open put back in.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] darkdimius:
I'd also vote for it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arodhr13:
so how do i fix this as i like to power my phone off at night and charge it.

also another question, when i update to 7.4 or whatever do i need to uninstall the rom or do i just download the update and install from the recovery screen?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the1wingedangel:
Agreed.

Brightness level is too dark that it looks bad, and now you open the keyboard and have to swipe to get it unlocked. How is 2 steps better than one haha. Plus there is no need for a lock screen upon opening, its not like the phone is going to flip open in your pocket. Just revert back to .7.2 like me. Also black screen while waking when oc'd still exists. Thanks for the effort though guys, still love the roms.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] android602:
I actually do like the lock screen when you open the keyboard...because I have a kid..and whenever he gets a hold of my phone and opens it, it use to unlock..the only problem that I'm having is the autobrightness its to dark..and for some reason I keep on getting a lot of EDGE, I usually get 3g and sometimes the H when I'm at home..

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Simple fact of the matter is that it is impossible to please everyone. Some are going to like a given change, others will not. The goal is that the majority approves of a given change. Otherwise we're stuck doing nothing.

The goal of this ROM isn't necessarily to make huge, ground breaking changes. Rather, to enhance the stock Sense ROM. We're not going to deviate from that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stryder5:
The phone going into recovery when powered down and plugged in is not the ROM's fault. Please check this post by Koush:

It seems to me the auto brightness is backwards?

If I go to my home screen and then put my phone under the light the screen gets real bright but the menu/home go off.

I then move it away and go in a darker area and the screen gets darker? And the menu/home light back up.

If some people like this method of auto brightness perhaps some options could be put in to adjust it?

To me leaving it checked makes it a less pleasurable experience.

For now I set my brightness manually.
