[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] The Great NY:
sorry, wrong choice of words. couple features not yet inmplemented. i'd just rather wait then reflash when its updated. wasnt bashing the rom by anymeans.

Version 0.8.0

Full wipe is REQUIRED for this release.

Re-based entire ROM from the latest DesireZ Sense release: RUU_Vision_HTC_Egypt_1.72.466.4, which is based on Android 2.2.1. (Thanks: football)

Some customizations are not currently available, including the orientation mods introduced in 0.7.4 and enhanced reboot menu. These features will return eventually.

Default kernel switched to Pershoot (based off latest sources from 12/13/2010). (Thanks: Pershoot, Cyanogen Project).

Wake issues should be resolved.

Smartass governor added.

Interactive governor re-added (using older, more stable code).

Maximum overclock increased to 1.51Ghz.

See https://github.com/rmk40/virtuous-kernel-pershoot/commits/master for more details.

Keyboard updated such that com/www still function but allow for customization of quick keys.

New Android Market application included.

Latest versions of all Market apps (Google VoiceSearch, Facebook, Titanium Backup, etc).

HTC does not provide a change log for their releases, so please do not ask us what has changed in terms of core Sense functionality. Just know this is the newest build currently available. It may fix bugs you have encountered or may not. It is out of our control.

Just updated to 8.0..its perfect...I haven't had any problems at all..Absolutely everything is working for me.. I love it fantastic job.. love it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
ive got a question just to clear some things up

normally when i flash a new set up for sense, it automatically goes through the set and asks for my gmail account, and facebook and such and it did not in the initial set up. normally when i set up my gmail account it syncs all of my apps, not just my paid apps. is it because its a fresh flash?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eViL D::
Just needed clarification. Thanks.

As soon as rmk is done with Virtuous buddy (*cough*), we'll get optional things implemented. :cool:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eViL D::
That's odd, mine went through the setup. I blaze through it, but I'm positive it was there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mbergh22:
ok really stupid question i know but what are the differences in the govenors? Like what eactly do they do?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phawkes:
Anyone notice that htcsense.com says desire HD instead of desire z? And also I can't access the phone finder. I have my phone finder setting checked in the settings so I dont know what it can be at this point.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
thaats what i thought. i wiped, and flashed the first time. and it didnt work. and then i rewiped and reflashed and tried it again. no dice. its alright though, i just manually did the gmail and logged in with facebook via friend stream. ill just have to download the apps again. not a problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pyro9219:
Same experience here, but I wasn't concerned about it since I knew how to add the things myself. I think this might have something to do with the problem I had with Google Voice crashing until the first reboot.

After reboot though, everything is running even as well as or better than before. It's absolutely smooth out of the box, and very snappy with my modest 1ghz OC.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KEMC:
I'm having the same problem, I have location enabled but on the site it won't locate.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tdpham102:
Can anyone tell me why when I go into settings, about phone, phone identity that it says mytouch4G? Is it suppose to be like that?

sorry if this has been answered but didnt see a clear answer. Ive down 2 fresh wipes and still cant get rid of the TINY MMS. Anyone else experience this and how did you fix?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] supergear:
Maybe you're using the MyTouch4G rom
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
eViL, or rmk can you please give me some details on how to get my alternate email to sync and work? i cannot get it, on any of the updates or previous roms.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] supergear:
I think you have to have auto sync enabled. Cause with it off it didn't work but with it on it works
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eViL D::
which alternate?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bcking81:
evil and thoughts on how to get rid of the tiny pics in mms..Ive tried to fresh wipes and still cant fix the issue
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] corrado85:
First and foremost: GREAT ROM! Probably the best rom I've used so far on G2.

I have one little problem though, after installing the rom, google market didn't perform app restoration process as it should and I can't remember which ad block program was it that was free and did the job well.

or maybe google has taken it off the market?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eViL D::
i'll investigate

ad free
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] corrado85:
thank you.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dansl:
Just flashed 0.8, and I gotta say its FAST! No issues so far, but I'll make sure to keep you posted if I run into anything. Thanks for all the hard work!

Also, for anyone having issues... These are the steps i take EVERYTIME I flash a new ROM or do a Wipe... so follow these steps:

1: Do Nandroid Backup and/or Titanium backup (In Titanium: dont backup any RED labels, just do some GREEN and most WHITE labels... only backup RED labeled items if you know what your doing...)

2: Open ROM Manager, download Virtuous 0.8, and WIPE EVERYTHING when it asks!

3: Flash Virtuous 0.8 :)

4: Start phone and run though setup process...

5: Restore apps using Titanium, (having Titanium PRO makes this MUCH faster...)

6: Once finished restoring apps, REBOOT PHONE!

7: Go through and make sure all your apps are running right, and whatnot...

8: ENJOY!

Hope that helps... :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slovoflud:
I'm having network issues too. Sure it's not the network. As far as i can tell it is the market that causes it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] android602:
It says its a desire HD because your using the desire hd sense UI on your phone... and also for the people that can't find the location of your phone through htcsense.com.. I went into footprints and on the bottom right hand corner it says FIND YOUR PHONES LOCATION, I pressed it logged out that I logged back in and it found my phone.. not a single problem iv had so far with this new update
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gteye:
I noticed that the market was acting weird for me in 0.7.4 after updating it.

The 3g/H mobile connection would disappear and then I would get unable to connect with a retry button, I'd wait a few and the connetion icon would come back and I'd do retry and it would work from that point on.

If I was on wifi, I would launch market and the 3g/h icon would appear alongside the wifi connection icon and then disappear and if I tried to update while it was doing that I would get the unable to connect message with he retry button.

If I exited out of the market app and launch it again it would sometimes do the same thing and sometimes not. It always seems to do it after a phone reboot though.

Is that the same issue you were seeing?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jgro1976:
I've searched and found lots of posts regarding MMS with Virtuous, however, has anyone found a fix?

I have the latest patch and Pershoot's kernel, and I can load a pic for MMS and see that someone sent me one, but can't upload or download any of the pics.

Pretty sure my apn's are all correct, I have the required 3, so what else? Is it Pershoot's kernel?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xl DIGITAL lx:
I'm getting the same mms problem too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KidJethro:
Just flashed 0.8.0, first rom flash on my G2. First experience with Sense period. I think I like it...much prettier than vanilla.

Anyways, will the pixel density thing work with this? I searched this thread and found no mention of it. Anyone?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hasucz2bu:
So I am getting "Map data unavailable" with a Exclamation Mark in a Triangle (My location widget). But if click on the widget it sends my map to Taiwan. If I then hit menu and then my location is finds me in the exact location in US and if I back out to the My Location widget it still says Map Data Unavailable.

Anyone else?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sonofabit:
No, sense ROMs do not support changing the pixel density.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KidJethro:
Bummer. :(

Thanks for the fast reply though. I was burning up the search feature. lol.

Sense is pretty damn cool so far. My quadrant scores dropped a LOT though. from 26xx down to 20xx.

~edit~

Just ran quadrant again, scored 2251. So not as bad as stated abve, but still a drop. Using the interactive governor.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
Freakin awesome job guys. Flashed with wipe and went through the pain in the butt of re-installing all my stuff from Titanium Backup. Everything's running smoothly as far as I can tell.

The only thing I've noticed is that the market is *insanely* slow to load. It doesn't seem to slow the rest of the phone down, but it literally takes up to 10 seconds to launch. This happens whether I'm OC'd or not, and after a reboot. Eventually it comes up, but it most certainly shouldn't take that long, should it?

On a completely opinionated note, I really hate the new market, lol. I realize I'm basically stuck with it as long as I keep using Android phones, but I find the UI awful now. (yes, I know that's not rmk40 and eViL's fault, just wanted to share my thoughts).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] IMPEREAL:
Great ROM!!!! No issues so far.... liked 7.4 love 8.0!!! Thanks for all the great work guys!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dansl:
Hey everyone, dont forget to Donate to help keep this ROM updated! These guys are donating A LOT of their personal time to give you a badass stable ROM. So the least you can do is buy them a beer or two, or even an entire keg. ;)

Donation button is on the first page. :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hasucz2bu:
I can also confirm that the market is very slow to load. Takes 10-15 secs to open but once it opens it's fast and doesn't lag, its just the opening of the application.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] djdant:
Great Rom!

Few Issues I've encountered:

.YouTube & Videos have green line top of videos (maybe kernel issue? Seen this in HD2 Android)

.T-Mobile US MMS small fuzzy image, incoming pics come in as 5kb, I manually fixed it tho using a HD2 trick.

.Market apps didn't auto restore

Will post if I find more issues
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mbergh22:
Can someone please tell me what the difference in all the govenors like the smartass, interactive, proformance, ondemand? What do they all do?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jacky113:
I would like to know also, would like the most balanced governer. As for thr rom itself, no problems so far, everything is very smooth. Great rom.

Check our kernel source. All the info you need is there. Should be under documentation.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xl DIGITAL lx:
Having the youtube problem too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hasucz2bu:
Another issue that I see, but it might just be me.

When the phone locks and I unlock it, it displays the right and correct time but once I slide the bar down or hit the track pad again the HTC Weather Clock is wrong. Usually by and hour. For example,

If it is 1:00pm and I unlock the device the slidebar shows 1:00pm but once I hit the pad or bar the clock goes to 12:00pm and then flips to 1:00pm, then does it's weather animation (cloudy day, shows clouds). Is this normal?

Might be an HTC Issue. I am looking into it now but wanted to see if anyone else also has this issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
This is how the HTC Sense clock widget is designed. Most agree it's rather stupid, but I would guess they did this to show the fancy clock-change animation off - you're guaranteed to see it every time you unlock your phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hasucz2bu:
That is so dumb! Thanks for the quick response and info!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
I've been wondering this, too. I found the documentation section: https://github.com/rmk40/virtuous-k...7802241ddcc2ef47bdba0b9b39b0fd0/Documentation

but didn't see anything noted as 'governor' or anything like that. Any hints where to find that?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HAK Devil:
I know a few people have already noted it but I'm having the problem with the youtube app as well. Not only is there a green line at the top of videos but I feel as if video quality has decreased as well. Hopefully its a fixable issue because apart from that this update is by far the best rom I have used on my phone.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AGunz82:
I have the green line on top of videos as well.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
We'll take a look at the video quality issues tonight. I see the green bar also.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AGunz82:
You dudes are top notch, thanx.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gteye:
The restart menu no longer has the options for recovery, etc.

I did some searches and didn't see it mentioned.

Was that removed from this rom or do I need to configure it?

Or is mine broken?

Thanks in advance.

Weird.. about the YouTube app.. when I had flash the 8.0 I had checked everything and the green line wasn't popping out on top of the video.. and now I'm also having the green line and bad issues with YouTube
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] djdant:
It's in the change log that stuff that were in previous versions will be implemented in later builds that includes one of them
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] simplyTravis:
I'm really enjoying Sense on my G2 but when I updated to 8.0 the market did not restore all of my apps. Does anyone know how to kickstart the market in to restoring all of my apps? I don't remember which ones I had!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] edwill44:
The phone is being identified as the HTC Vision, not as the G2 like before. I use appbrain and got the same thing. The market is seeing a different phone. If you were to go back to 7.4, all your apps would be there....

Still love the ROM but I have one issue. The sound on the WiFi calling is very very quiet is anyone else experiencing this???
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
I am having issues with the messaging app not notifying me of texts. Really bad for me!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
I was going to recommend people start using AppBrain - it's awesome, especially for this.

I had the same issue when I switched from the Nexus One to the G2, until I noticed that AppBrain simply sets the new phone up as a different list - when you log into your AppBrain account, you'll see them off to the left. It's relatively easy to move things from one list to the other.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mbergh22:
Yeah can you give more detail on where it talks about govenors?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] supergear:
Lucky you. Youtube app makes my phone freeze and have to do a battery pull
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] djdant:
The trick I use to prevent it from freezing is watch videos on the other side not the sliding side, it doesn't freeze when you back out that way for me.

I just installed the zip neon still no luck I did proper procedure in intalling the rom have done no changes to kernal or anything intill just now, I'm going to try cpu tuner I have never used that one befor ill let you know how that works in a few minutes

Edit** cpu tuner works fine???? But set cpu still doesn't work why is this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jacky113:
Anyone experience a period of freeze after waking the phone. After i unlock it, it freezes and anything i press would happen all at once after a while.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eViL D::
Not sure. I moved to cpu tuner because I thought there were issues with setcpu. I haven't been back to it yet.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eViL D::
Are you overclocking? Or have sleep profiles?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] prp2:
I had that same issue as well, thought I was the only one before you and someone else posted about it. Any idea why that happened?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] smoochiezz24:
Fixed my previous problem. Good job!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gteye:
Evil, any chance you can detail your profiles and triggers in cputuner?

I notice it sets low end to 700 by default but you can set it lower, was wondering if keeping the low speed higher than 245 was a good thing?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jacky113:
Ive OC at 1.3 and when screen off 245/245mhz, it seemed fine with with older virtuous 0.74 but i have upped it to 345mhz now and try and see if still occurs.

I tried to install Cpu tuner but the minimum is also 700, how to set it to lower? can slide it any further.

Also, i found when using phone eg games after a while the temperature of cpu is around 36-38degrees, is this normal temperature of the OC? Just curious.

Cheers.

try titanium backup pro......go back to ur old rom with email back up all setting n restore that to the new one..mine works fine with that....hope this help!!!

I usually have the low end at 368? Unless it's screen off, which is 368/245.

No one? It happens randomly through out the day. Also, how is battery life for everyone?

It might be T-mobile, I was running a different rom and messages were getting to me slowly.

Seems like I found a small bug in 0.8.0.

I have set it to German (Switzerland), but the onscreen keyboard remains English. I've looked in all settings and they seem to correct. I've also removed all languages besides German from the Settings, but no change.

If I hold the left top soft-button which has EN as fuction, it pops up a language selection windows, which is empty and only has a Cancel button.

Are you leaving the text app "up on the screen"? That can cause it if you don't have the "always alert me" option set.

Unless I'm thinking of Trillian's behavior.. but I'm pretty sure it was SMS..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Always alert me?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] silverton:
Nope, I have noticed this as well. And it's annoying! My battery life is amazing though!

I just started using virtuous roms. Yesterday on .7.4 I was down to 30% after only 9 hours of being unplugged with the screen being on for just under an hour.

Today, same usage but on .8.0 I was down to ~80% with everything, including the "screen on" time being the same.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] patoberli:
And found a second issue.

I've changed the "Benachrichtigungston" (Message tone) for SMS, but it seems to remain on a default tone. In other words, it doesn't have an effect on SMS if I change the sound of it.

[edit]

Could "fix" it :)

Found the setting in the stock messaging app. There I could change the notification sound for SMS :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] verkion:
Battery life seems to be a little bit worse on this particular kernel/rom. That said, this 0.8.0 version is "quicker/smoother" than 0.7.4 by quite a bit.

verkion
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] slovoflud:
Yes, exactly the same. Also after 0.7.4
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] verkion:
Yes...this is the same thing for me. Definitely not isolated to a few of us.

Incidentally...has anyone located where the bootanimation.zip file is? Its not where it normally is in the /system/media

How the hell do I set the default notification to silent on a sense rom? I use handcent and want to silence the stock app. As it is now, I get two notification sounds, it's irritating as hell. Handecent is set to default too.

What am I missing? :confused:

Go into the stock messaging app, menu -> settings, uncheck 'received notification'. Then you'll only get handcent ones.
