1800mah battery

Just to let people know, there is a 1800mah battery for the htc desire z from mugen power.

The regular HTC battery has 1300mah, the mugen power one has 1800mah.

I bought mine at www.mugen-power-batteries.com for USD 44,95. There are discount codes out on the internet, use google, something like 5OFF2011.

It comes from overseas, shippment was free of charge, took about 10 days.

I am using it for 5 days now and it works.

As I read, Virtuous Rom 9.5 will make battery life even better.

9.5 has left beta as I could see on the devs archive and there are new kernels as well. I think rmk will release it in minutes. Many thanks to rmk and evild, amazing great work. I will give it a try. And thanks to the community here.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YOSEFE:
I did.

Let me try again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YOSEFE:
I tried again, sadly same problem.

Any further thoughts?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slovoflud:
what's the difference in use time ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
Its pretty great. I dont own one myself, but if look over at the battery thread people have been getting up to 6 hours more of use. There's alot of variety.

How is the battery for all the people who are over clocking ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gjm777:
Not bad really. Just grab set cpu and make sure to have a profile for when you lock the device so it drops your clock to the lowest possible.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
Yeah, I have mine set to drop down whenever the screen is off, and I have a series of battery-related profiles that slow the phone down as my battery decreases (starting at 50%).

I'm easily making it through a standard workday.

I also use Locale with a bunch of profiles to manage my phone - this lets me automate the WiFi toggle and things like that so I don't forget. It's really quite brilliant and lets me focus on other stuff, aside from whether my phone's battery is going to die.

need help wit oc

forgive me for my semi-noobness, but i was able to get the scripts running to overclock to 1ghz but it does not stick on reboot. ive tried evils kernel and it works but it does not let the trackpad wake works as it suppose to. bacon bits gets me to reboot city n ive read this thread pg.1 - 35 twice wit no clear way to get this to stick on reboot. all n any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phawkes:
I don't think there is a way to do it yet aside from what you have mentioned. It's either the module or that other kernel that breaks the trackpad wake up and fm raido. I believe with time we'll have that functionality.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] csufmedina1:
I downloaded evil's Bacon bits to overclock and it sticks after reboot..the only thing is the track pad wake doesn't really respond like it did before I downloaded baconbits..but besides that is perfect..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Anartic:
I'm having low signals with this rom, well not really low signals, it just seems like the phone struggles to get the signal... if that makes any sense and there are times when i turn down my phone volume, ringer and everything else, and it'll just turn back up by itself.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bnoot:
Did exactly wat u wrote now mms works fine.....thanx!!!!!!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johnlebaron:
Great Build. Will read the posts to figure out how to overclock to 1200 or so. The 1017 works great.

I love the sense widgets but also like aspects of stock android so I go back and forth between launcher pro and sense.

unlock code asked after flashing v0.6.0 rom

Hi,

I have just flashed the virtuous ROM in an unlocked HTC T-mobile G2 and after rebooting It is asking the unlock code. I have typed it in again but now It doesn't works. Someone have any idea to solve that?

Thanks

Quick Keys

Has anyone else noticed that the one of the quick keys doesn't stay assigned to anything (3rd from the left) I've try at least 8 times but after not using the phone for a few minutes the quick always ask me to assign a app/shortcut. Any ideas?? Thanx n advance
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phawkes:
I've had this issue as well. It sticks for like 2 seconds and as soon as I try to use it again it gets resets.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] triniscorpio:
Quick question, is it just me or on other sense ROM's you were able to change the lockscreen wallpaper? Was that something the dev for that ROM put in or should it be a stock option?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
That makes sense - if you look at the Desire Z (a real one) you'll notice that it only has 2 quick keys - this 3rd one is a tab or shift or something.

USB Booting Into Recovery

Not sure if this questions goes here or not, but every time I power down while the USB is connected to the power socket or the computer it boots into recovery mode. Is there a way I can prevent this and when I turn it off it stays off ....?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stryder5:
This is a known issue with the recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrSneakerKing:
That's weird. I'm going to remove the perm root and all roms then re-root and install the same rom. If I have the same problem then I'll just deal with it.

Is it possible to stop trackpad from unlocking device? I like that it will wake it, but I'd rather unlock it by sliding then hitting the trackpad again.

hope to see the new version soon! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] k3y.m8ney:
Defnly will be trying this rom as CM6 development is now more dead than Michael Richards' career. This rom still seems to have some dedicated followers. I would jump to CM7 but I don't feel like being a beta tester. Stable roms aren't stable enough so I can only imagine what a nightly build rom would be like. Hopefully this will be some excitement to my phone. CM6 starting to bore me.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] smoochiezz24:
@yosefe it seems like u have already been offered help that didn't solve your problem. Are u able to boot into clockwork recovery? If so, are u able to start the install from SD. Are u given an error? Not to be rude but it has to be something on ur part going wrong. There's no way it could be the rom's fault. Maybe u didn't have enough space on ur SD to download the full rom, and that's what's causing it to not be able to flash. Are u extracting the zip? Let it stay whole.

Ok so I flashed the rom. No problem every seemed to be working fine. Then I did a Titanium backup. Now everything freezes and closes the moment the phone loads. Maybe I restored too much? What am I not supposed to restore coming from a cm6 rom?

DONT click auth

Connect and it is in the top right (says 0.9.5 final) done

Should I restore the system data when going from 0.9.0 to 0.9.5?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] k3y.m8ney:
You shouldnt have to restore anything. But I'm a noob i could be wrong.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jonesxp:
Right now I'm on stock 2.2 rooted (1.22.###). I'm going to backup and the flash. If I want to give it a try, can I go back by just restoring a backup? Or if thee something else that I have to do since this is 2.2.1 (1.72.###)?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
it's always a BAD idea to restore system dad when going from one build to a completely different build (ie: 1.72 to 1.83). if you use titanium backup, it's safe to backup all the WHITE and GREEN, but if you backup the RED just don't restore any of it...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Broman400:
I just installed 0.9.5, coming from 0.9.0 and didn't restore anything because I didn't wipe any data except the regular and dalvik cache.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YOSEFE:
Is there no one here to offer some support?

Am still waiting to have a first go at a custom rom. Any answers please?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
kind of hard to give you any advice when you haven't given the specific steps you tried take to install the ROM... there are plenty of tutorials on this website that go into detail how to flash a ROM... which one did you follow? what steps did you take? what was your procedure?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] k3y.m8ney:
This is frustrating. I cant seem to restore my texts or contacts. I did a full backup when i was on cm6. Now when i backup it restores all my apps but not texts or contacts? Any suggestions?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YOSEFE:
I have followed the one on the first page?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] k3y.m8ney:

Did you?

- Download the "ROM Manager" from the Android Market,

- Open "ROM Manager",

* Flash ClockworkMod Recovery,

* Download ROM -> Virtuous -> Virtuous Full ROM 0.9.0 -> Download,

- Follow the rest of the on screen instructions to finish flashing the ROM

Good Luck!

My .www/.com doesnt work on my g2. It acts as a tab button
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bongd:
Yeah, the thing is that it SOMETIMES works but then other times I get stuck at the boot screen or run into a boot loop. I think I'm going to attempt it again and just make sure I didn't accidentally restore an old system app or data.

Remember fellas, you can back all your **** up in Titanium but get acquainted with filtering feature. Back up system apps and data for remember when you're flashing or upgrading a new ROM, don't restore it! Just the other apps... so many apps that it's tough, but filtering really helps.

I'm so used to flashing and just checking my phone every few minutes now. Used to be so daunting.... enough rambling, time to try the new ROM :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] verkion:
0.9.5 doesn't seem to have the fancy power menu. Also, as expected I suppose, 0.9.5 does not work with the DHD PowerControl Notification Menu.

how do i take off the battery percentage on 0.9.5

That is exactly what I did.

The only thing I did not get on following the above is "good luck".
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ionut.micu:
That exactly what I did, and I managed to flash Virtuous Rom on my routed Desire Z.

If you post exactly where you got stuck, or what happens wrong when you try to flash the ROM, we may find a way to help you.

Hi :)

How is the batterylife on 0.9.5????

And i had FC's with some apps al the time. How is 0.9.5 working????

I noticed that Virtuous sync with htc sense. my stock rom doesn't do that :s maybe becouse i didn't update the OTA update. didn't do that becouse i have perm root and s-off so my phone can brick if i update :s
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] troby86:
Does anyone know how to change the boot animation?

Ive tried to put the new one in /data/local and /system/media, and Ive also tried flashing through ClockWork, but no success on Virtuous.

I am not getting stuck anywhere at all. Everything seems to work fine, however, when the DZ reboots, nothing changes. The phone simply boots back to where it was - as though it was just a soft reset.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] catachresistant:
Try this:

Download the ROM into your SDCard.

Turn off "fast boot" (settings -> applications -> fast boot).

Turn off your phone.

Reboot into Recovery (hold power + volume down)

Factory reset and flash the ROM.

Hello,

I thank everyone who tried their best to help me.

I have now solved the problem, and have installed virtuous 0.9.5 rom.

What I needed was CWM 3.0 renamed, etc. This did it.

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] k3y.m8ney:
I was speaking up silencing your phone. Like on stock rom you can just vibrate on the lock screen. Now with this.

And to futher update 0.9.5 is great smooth and battery life is awesome. Running standard kernal and its smooth as butter. Makes me wonder the purpose of overclocking up to 1.5 and 1.8 ghz. Its unneccesary if properly coded.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] edwill44:
Vol down till it shows vibrate. It will show silent then vibrate. Thats how I do it....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bongd:
Holy ****. No complaints about the old ROM or kernels but 0.9.5 is really rocking! Unbeleivable speed at stock processor speeds, no slowdown no matter what I throw at it. And the battery seems a lot better but I always calibrate when flashing a new kernel, but so far I can't make a dent in the battery as far as G2/DZ stock batteries go.

Wow. If anything is improved in the public build I humbly ask that its noted in the changelog. You guys will love this one! :)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Part of the reason we're offering the ROM only on IRC right now is to encourage real time participation and feedback. If you're just hopping on IRC just to download the ROM, then disappearing, you're really just hurting what we're trying to achieve here. Yes, you get a copy of the ROM early but you miss the point of why it's on IRC only, entirely.

So please, I ask, if you're not planning to stick around in the IRC channel, don't just hop in to grab the link and leave. If you're enthusiastic enough to try out betas and early releases, we'd hope you would set yourself up with an actual IRC client and regularly participate in the channel. Otherwise, it really is best to wait until we release links here. We're not going to hold back anything if it's ready for the masses, trust me.

I've actually had to ban the freenode web client due to the number of times this has occurred already.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] collins521:
Is there a good one for on the device client by chance?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1_enthusiast:
you guys should make a time so people can come on and disscuss it, sometimes people get on there and just leave cause nobody is talkinng lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
For Android, I like Andchat: https://market.android.com/details?id=net.andchat

For Windows, mIRC is the most popular http://www.mirc.com/.

For Mac, I liked Colloquy the best http://colloquy.info/.

Sure, though there can be activity at almost any time of day. Your best chance of catching Evil or I participating is in the evenings. Though, we tend to be active at random times during the day as well.

Hi developer,

I'd like to know how to swap text input methods in this virtuous rom.

I'm originally using chinese stock roms and "sym" button is for swapping between Chinese/English inputs.

For virtuous rom, the "sym" button becomes the ".com" function so I currently find no ways to switch inputs.

It is very inconvenient for chinese users.

Are there any solutions/mods I can deal with that?

I can dump a chinese rom for your reference if it helps.

Thank you!

Where is everyone getting v0.9.5 from? I can't find it on XDA or virtuousrom.com. Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
*sigh*. Do a bit of reading in the thread. To facilitate more real-time discussion and interaction with the ROM, the developers setup a Irc channel for folks to chat on - people who contribute and participate there have access to beta builds of the next version. The full release will be available here as soon as it's not a beta anymore.

This thread is *supposed* to only be for discussion of the regularly-available versions of Virtuous. There should be no discussion of any of these Irc-only betas on this thread, per the developers' request.

or the easiest, IceChart IRC Client, it is very straight forward and easy to use.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
for pc I suggest www.xchat.org - very simple and easy to use... if you really can't figure out how to set it up PM me...

for phone I suggest anychat, or androirc as they support the proper protocol (SASL + PLAIN )needed to connect to freenode.

to make it much easier to log-on with your phone, I suggest first logging in via pc, registering a "nick" if you don't have one, it's very easy, once logged on just type "/msg nickserv help" (no quotes) for instructions how to register a nick. then use those settings (SASL, PLAIN, nick, pass) under "authentication" (androirc)
