Is the Yelp app working for you guys?

It crashes for me upon starting it prompting a "force close".
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] U Flippin Idiot:
No sweat bro. I was just new to this ROM. By the way. I didn't do anything but change the Kernel to the advanced and back to standard and it started working. It was strange first it would play part of the video and a few hours later I would go back to it and it played with no problem. All I can say is thanks to everyone for this forum. I am such a noob at this stuff and am learning by reading every thread.

yeah, same here... I just realized though that I had gps off when trying... maybe that was the cause of it? I'll reinstall and test again...

well hi everyone, i flashed this rom today and everything works great! It's better than the stock sense rom that i had on my desire z when i bought it. however i have some questions regarding to this ROM.

1) It's good to have Swype installed, however may i know how can i add additional language to the swype? For example, input pinyin for chinese which i needed. So that i no need to swicth back to other input method in order to input chinese.

2) The internal storage available after i installed some games is around 840MB. Which somehow i feel it might not enough for me in future. So you guys have any ideas which can add the feature of something like data2sd? Since i own a 16gb card.

That's all! Thanks in advance

Help?

Hey All, so I want to flash the Virtuous ROM on my Bell desire z. I perm rooted with VISIONary + and used clockword mod, but when I try to flash into recover mode it just gives me the red exclamation mark of death.

Would anyone know how to get around this? or know of a solution?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aic71:
Done. Let's see if this makes any improvement in my battery life. Looking in battery info it says that the "Android System" is the largest battery hog. Looking in spare parts, it says Pandora is my energy hog. (Which doesn't shock me...I tend to listen to Pandora while I'm at work.)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eViL D::
Did you flash the recovery first via clockworkmod?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] waterloomotu:
Yes, flashed to version 2.5.1.3 (the latest it would let me flash) and I also tried flashing on 2.5.1.1 (the downgraded option it allowed) both gave me the same red "!"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eViL D::
Then, something is wrong with your root since you can't flash the custom recovery. Try flashing the recovery via fastboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Sleeps17:
Hey, I've been using this ROM and it's been great. But recently I've run into a problem (or bug?), whenever I use Camcorder, and when I'm done, I try to play the video but I get a message saying " Sorry, this video cannot be played"..

I cannot play any type of video and it never used to do that. I tried wiping/factory reset, but same problem. I want to know if anyone else has run into this issue? What can I do to fix it?

EDIT: Okay, I flashed back to Stock G2 and it's the same problem?! My phone can't play any videos from Camcorder... what do I do?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
Not a problem. Its okay to not use some screens you know. Haha.

I have the same prob! with the slandered & advanced kernels! Video wont work for me and same with youtube video! I went back to your stock htc kernel and now everything works! tried you custom kernels and no video works :(

Declining phone calls

Does anyone else get an android force close if they try and reject a call by texting the caller.....(IE:..your phone is ringing you hit menu and u get the option to decline call or send the caller a text saying whatever)...when i try this android system force closes and phone returns to sim lock screen......anyone else experiencing this.....by the way great rom and thanks to all the devs who contributed....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] andersonjacob54:
I want to know if anyone else is having this problem.

I go on the Interrnet and google an image. On the screen that appears, the image looks blurry. When I select view full image, the image appears clear (sometimes still blurry). The same problem occurs when visiting websites such as CNN.

Also when scrolling the images appear blurry, when when not scrolling, they become clearer. It seems like the browser is showing a lot of blurry images. I don't know if its the rom, the phone, or andriod.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rajbaba2:
When I press the lock it locks but the screen turns back on
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] waterloomotu:
Flashing via recovery does the same thing unfortunately.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
he said try flashing via FASTBOOT, not recovery... capisce?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
does this happen even if you don't use gogle voice? if so, I will install the file... otherwise I'll just let it be as I never use google voice...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
yes, you can strip com.htc.launcher.apk (if you do this you may as well strip all the htc widgets as well as they will be useless without the rosie launcher) and replace it with any launcher you like, then flash the rom and you will have the ability to set the number of screens per whatever launcher you use... I personally am using this rom in a similar fashion... I have rosie and all widgets stripped as well as some of the htc apps I don't use, and it works flawlessly, I even stripped the htc.lockscreen (see my signature for a fixed worldclock.apk if you decide to do that, otherwise your alarms won't shut off unless you shut down/restart your phone.)

but if you want to keep the htc launcher (rosie) then, as answered already, no there is no way to change number of screens, well maybe there is, but it probably isn't very practical...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zainqaiser:
Hey thanks guys for the replies....i think i found the fix about the battery drain(at least it worked for me)...i tried both cputuner n set cpu but same result then i unistalled both n now m getting a LOT better battery results..

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] felixk87:
I don't see any apps appearing suspicious under battery usage: it's mostly system apps such as handcent, swype, life wallpaper (I have the htc grass wallpaper), dialer, standby, messageCS, display and android system
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
if you like the htc widgets then purchase launcher pro, it's much better than adw and the widgets are almost exact copies of the sense widgets (friends, twitter, facebook, bookmarks, calender, people...etc)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] waterloomotu:
Unfortunately, that is what I meant, a simple slip of the tongue on my part. Either way, it doesn't work.

Next time though,it'd probably be more helpful to provide some constructive feedback instead of criticizing someones comments. mmk Benny?

Anyways, I'll try the gfree method. Thanks to everyone who tried to help! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] enserio:
I'm having that same issue with yelp. fc every time. I uninstalled and reinstalled. I'm not sure if it matters, but I flashed via Rom Manager. I also came straight from CM6 stable, with a wipe before applying Virtuous.

Anyone have an idea with this is happening?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bouzouki:
try using overclock widget. no power drain at all, and much simpler to use.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
First of all, unless you failed English then you know my name isn't Benny. Second I provide plenty of "constructive feedback," thirdly, you need to reread what I wrote, as I wasn't criticizing anything you said, I thought you had misunderstood him, and I was just reiterating what he said in hopes of helping you, because at that moment, it seemed as though you had misunderstood.

Do you have eng-hboot? if not fastboot commands won't work.

edit: oops I missed the post where you said you were rooted with visionary... do as the person before me said and get rooted via gfree, then either flash eng-hboot for fastboot capabilities, or just flash from recovery, which should then work once you're s-off/super cid...etc...

Does this have the really fast boot on from desire z
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
no, but the previous version (0.8.0/0.8.1) did... actually I take that back... it has both... when you long hold the power button you have both "shutdown" and "hibernate" options... hibernate would be the equivalent of what you are talking about...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rajbaba2:
Thanks and another thing when I press the lock to shut the screen off the phone locks but the screen itself turns back on
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
have you tried the killscreen app? I mentioned it earlier in this thread, there is a thread in this subforum HERE which has a link to it, and the "launch key" app... you can use this combo to set long press of search button to kill the screen (among other things, thanks to launchkey app)

Thanks to everyone who responded, I unflashed via visionary, then rooted via the gfree method (as suggested by benjamminIS and the gentleman before him, thanks to all). Once I was re-rooted I didn't have any issue so clearly the issue was in the root process.

thanks all.

cifs

Hello everyone!

How can I get cifs working on Virtuous ROM? It was mentioned about cifs module is included in this ROM, but after flashing to 0.9.0 CifsManager gives an error "mount: Invalid argument" and there is no cifs.ko file in system, neither in previous versions of Virtuous ROM. Googled for correct cifs.ko for this version of kernel without any luck.

Just bought my HTC Desire Z, sorry for stupid question :)

Thanks

Just installed and getting black screen on reboot

Hi, I literally JUST got my G2 and already perm rooted it, backed up my orginal rom and loaded virtuous everything went well. The only difference is I unzipped the zip and replaced it with the files from the advanced kernal zip. After the HTC screenat reboot I just get a blank black screen. I read the first boot takes long but during this first boot am I suppose to have a black screen?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
i would suggest reflashing from the beginning, if you ever have a problem thats something i would do. its fixes a majority of small problems. and do you use rom manager? it makes it alot easier than putting stuff on your sd..etc.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
all the kernels can be found in rom manager under virtuous kernels. i wouldnt think you would want the old kernels considering the new kernels in that section fix all the tiny bugs that the old ones had.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] graffixnyc:
Just restored the stock rom, now I'm trying again but this time I installed the rom from the rom manager, lets see if that works. I used the guide to the unlockr web site to load the rom

But after looking at this guide again I missed one step bolded below:

II. Flash a Custom Recovery Image

1. Once you have done the above to procedures, open the Market on your phone and search for ROM Manager (Free).

2. Install it.

3. Open the ROM Manager app and click Menu, then Settings and turn ON Delete Recovery.

4. Click Back and then select Flash Recovery.

5. Choose your phone model and then let it flash the recovery.

6. Click Reboot Recovery and you should be put into the custom recovery image screen. If so, you are all set.

I'm thinking that caused it maybe? But I tried to go through the steps again this time doing that step but it didn't reflash the recovery (no progress bar) but told me it was flashed. Sorry for the noob questions. This is my first android and right out of the box I rooted it (thanks to the guides here)

Just finished trying again though ROM manager this time, after HTC boot sceen I again just get a black screen :( I will try now with the standard kernel instead of the advanced..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] graffixnyc:
Ok, I flashed with the standard kernel and now no more black screen after the first HTC boot screen. It loaded! YES! But why wouldnt the advanced kernel load? What I did was download the full zip, then the advanced zip. I unzipped the full to my computer then unzipped the advanced in that same directory overwriting the files and then I rezipped it and that's the zip I tried to install
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
Anytime you tinker with the zip files for ROMs/kernels, you're playing with fire. Doing it that way only could have saved you like, 10-15 minutes. Better to install the full ROM (with standard kernel), let that boot up and load for a few minutes, then download and install the advanced kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] graffixnyc:
Thanks! So now that I'm running the standard rom :) I just do the same thing but just load the advanced kernel zip file?

also I backed up my swype before and it's installed the options are there in keyboard but whenever I type a message it gives me the standard touch keyboard. I dont see any option in Keyboard and Language to change it to the swype keyboard I dont have the option to change input type in the kb lang settings which seems strange and one last question. Where would the overclock settings be?

Thanks so much!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
Yes, once you have the standard install running, just go back to ROM Manager, download rom, virtuous, virtuous sense kernels, and choose the latest advanced one. When you get the popup, do NOT check either the wipe or backup boxes (unless of course you want to backup, but it's not necessary).

To activate swype, press and hold on any text field and choose 'input method'

You'll need either SetCPU or CPUtuner installed to be able to overclock with the advanced kernel. Both are available from the market. The devs seem to prefer CPUtuner, but I'm using SetCPU with advanced kernel to OC to 1.2GHz and not having any issues, so to each their own.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] graffixnyc:
Got it! thanks so much!

if you replace the kernel, then resigning the zip is a must... but apparently there's a little more to it than just that, which I haven't figured out yet. Last night I finally put together my version of this rom (sans: rosie, htc mms, htc lockscreen, all htc widgets and a couple of the htc programs I never use; peep & car home) I also added launcherpro, power notification widget + theme, custom keymap (for terminal commands), and modified htc worldclock.apk (that works with vanilla lockscreen)... I took the time to figure out how to resign the zip. Resigned it, thankfully I backed up before attempting to install this, but when I went to install, it wouldn't even get that far something about "error status 6" or something of that nature... and after restoring my backup everything was FCing, booted to recovery did a "fix permissions", rebooted and still FCing, so back to recovery and wiped cache and dalvik, rebooted and was back to normal again... so yeah, messing with the rom zip can be a bit tricky... wish I could figure out what the issue is, I really want to get this figured out so I can resign the rom zip properly even though it's so heavily modded...

Downgrade to Virtuous 0.8.1 from 0.9?

OK...DONE.

I downgraded to 0.8.1 from 0.9 and did not need to do a full wipe. Phone is working well. No reinstalls and my concern about Good for Enterprise did not materialize. Also, changed to the virtuous-kernel_htc_g540976a-v1.1.0.zip kernel.

Why do this?

Found some odd issues with texting and felt battery life was less on 0.9 with the virtuous-kernel_vision_standard-v1.0.9.zip kernel.

So I will see...if I am smokin' something or a little correct on the battery life and the texting stuff.

rmk40...still thanks for all of your work and efforts. Ditto to eViL D as well.

how do i overclock v0.61
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stryder5:
So I just flashed the 0.6.0 ROM and it's been sitting at the HTC logo screen for a while now. I know I'm supposed to wait 6-10 minutes but it's been about a good 10 now. Should I keep waiting or did something go wrong?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] convolution:
yes, so how do i update it to 0.6.1?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ddgarcia05:
You download the upgrade. Place it in the root of your sdcard. Go into recovery. Select apply upgrade from sdcard (or something like that) and look for the zip file. You can name it upgrade.zip and it just got to recovery and "apply upgrade.zip"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eViL D::
The screen will change to a white HTC splash with "Quietly Brilliant", if it hasn't gotten there, wipe all and flash again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stryder5:
Yeah, just wiped everything, checked MD5 sum, then flashing again. I'm now on a screen with an arrow and a green android. Is this the screen I'm supposed to see on reboot after flashing? Or was it supposed to go straight to the htc screen saying 'quietly brilliant' ?

EDIT: Hit power and that took me back to Recovery. Just rebooted and I see the correct logo now. Here's hoping it'll boot up this time :)

EDIT 2: I got to the lock screen. I swiped down to unlock then it takes me to the "htc" logo screen (without "quietly brilliant"). Weird part is, I hit the power button and it takes me back to the lock screen. Unlock and back to htc screen. Left it there for a few minutes then it took me to the setup wizard. All seems well now for the time being. Very weird setup process, but sense looks great!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] krymzon:
awsome just finished worked perfect luached it right out of Rom Mnager no problems what so ever now gonna ovrclk to 1.8 mayb 1.9
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
Ok, played a bit overnight, some thoughts:

1. add clear instructions in the first post to enable overclocking (or an option in the ROM itself, using SpareParts or something)

2. Since we have custom keymaps for the keyboard (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=837002) perhaps you could include one that mirrors the stock (thereby restoring the www/.com button). I noticed that the quick key to the far left on the G2 doesn't exist on the Desire Z (it's a shift or something), which means the presence of a 3rd quick key isn't coded anywhere - perhaps make this a dedicated 'back' button (as that doesn't exist, though menu and search do)?

3. Option to disable trackpad unlock (but keep trackpad wake)

4. Include 3D Gallery (just a personal preference. :))

That's all I've got thus far - everything is working great other than that. It's a bit slow, but I haven't really tinkered with that yet - still exploring all the upgrades in Sense.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phawkes:
rmk I think it would be a good idea if you threw up a disclaimer or something on the OP. People are thinking that they aren't on the HSPA/HSPA+ network because they are seeing the 3G instead of the H. I think you should state it somewhere that the stock G2 showed H regardless of whether or not you were on 3G/HSPA/HSPA+, and that this rom will show you when you are on 3G vs HSPA. Its been asked a million times already and this would give people some peace of mind.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Disconn3ct:
Full MMS fix!

To do a full mms fix, you have to wipe :/ BUT this WORKS, full size pics and everything.

- Boot recovery

- Wipe data (fyi there is a bug here, wiping data puts the wrong perms on /data/system so it never finishes booting)

- Flash 0.6.0, 0.6.1 (and baconbits if you want it)

- BEFORE you reboot, open adb shell:

# mount /system
# cd /system/customize/MNS
# rm 2*xml

That will remove all the random provider-specific settings files, leaving only 'default.xml'

- Push the attached files:

$ adb push cid_map.xml /system/customize/
$ adb push mns_map.xml /system/customize/
$ adb push default.xml /system/customize/MNS/

The first files put in blank mappings (so it doesn't look for the other xml files) and the last one sets it to pretend to be a Nexus One when downloading MMSs. (No other changes, so it still shows as a Desire Z to web browsing and such. You can edit all your useragents there if you feel the need to be something else.)

THEN you can reboot, redo setup, etc. During the initial setup, it reads the various customizations files and sets defaults accordingly. Restore your APNs (see earlier posts) and you should be golden. (OP - if you include these changes in the next version, it should work fine for new installs.)

Searching around I couldn't find any way to reset those settings without a full wipe, but thats what Titanium is for. (If you restore system settings and have issues - small pics, etc - then redo it and be more careful what you restore. If you can track it down to a particular entry in Titanium, let me know..)

Enjoy!
