[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stealth1985:
Figured out the facebook thing, it wasn't suggesting the links I had to manually do it.

Regarding swype, why all of a sudden remove it? As far as I know it was on my phone originally (Bell Desire Z), and has been included in every ROM I have flashed to date until this latest one.

I have no knowledge of how to make a ROM but from an outsiders perspective it appears that the project is not moving forward. If I had any skills at this I would make a ROM that offers the best battery life, removes/fixes any known problems and allows customizable options for the end user to determine which they want. For example some people want a battery percentage and some don't. So provide the option to have the percentage for those who want it but provide the base ROM with it how it's stock.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Frank_071:
Swype is not freely available to everyone. As is clearly stated in the beginning of this thread, the ROM complies to the rules and makes Swype only available to those devices that are licensed to use it. If it wouldn't do so, we would, for starters, be kicked of XDA in a flash. Let alone the hassle rmk would get from the Swype guys. For now only the T-mobile G2 is known to be licensed to use Swype, but, as again is clearly stated, rmk likes to hear from people that have it on theire original ROM. Apparently your Bell had it, I suggest you bring that (with some kind of proof) to the attention of rmk, so he can addapt the installation process.

I honestly do not have the faintest idea where you get that idea from. During the last couple of weeks we've had 0.9.0, 0.9.5, 1.0.0 and 1.0.1. All versions were released with fixes, enhancements and updates. I call that moving forward.

And in that you differ from other ROM makers like rmk? I don't think so. Virtuous ROM is considered by most people to be the best ROM around for this device. It *has* fixes, mods, etc and tries to address issues as good and quickly as possible.

This is exactly what is happening. Via ROM Manager you can download and apply mods to the ROM. Virtual Buddy will offer the possibility to tweak the ROM further. And then you always have this forum where people place their mods (like benjamminzIS). However: it is not possible to think ahead of what people might like to remove. That percentage you are talking about is a good example. It is seen by many as a mandatory feature that the stock rom misses. I would not have thought that others would like it to be disabled. Apparently those people exist. Fine. As soon as that demand was recognized, a mod became available via this thread. I see the same for the SMS application, the lockscreen, you name it.

In stead of trashing this ROM completely, it is far more helpful to bring on the topics where you'd like to have a choice. Then you might find others that think alike and can provide the mods to make that happen. And that opens a road to getting the mod implemented in the ROM.

I, for one, am very happy with the work rmk and evilD are putting into this. Not to mention all others that contribute to this thread to try to address issues people are reporting. I hope we can count you in to the active contributors so we can make this an even better ROM for our devices.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
I'm still getting issues where I call someone and they hear garbled voices coming from my end.

My boss had to call me back after the 3rd call to him failed. This didn't happen in 0.9.5, and it fixed the issue which was present on 0.9.0.

Would flashing the radio back down to the 0.9.5 version clear this up, or is "radio" in regards to the actual FM radio built into the Desire Z?

How would I go about troubleshooting the garbled voices?

I tried downclocking figuring maybe I had a lazy processor in my phone, but that doesn't seem to work either.

Any suggestions please? I will donate to this rom if I can use it without having that issue, as I use my phone mostly to talk- but if not I'll have to move to CM7 or something.

Really sad cause this rom rocks :-(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] astragreen:
Hello I have a problem, i can't send things over bluetooth, can somebody help please?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Frank_071:
As far as I know there is no radio in Virtuous ROMs. Any change you see between versions could be from different libraries (see benjaminnzIS posting about this, although first experiences with updated libraries are not positive) or different kernel timings.

Although kernel discussions are not for this thread, it is always good to mention what kernel you are using (stock, standard or advanced), whether or not you are OC'ing the device and if so your OC settings.

As for other possibilities: are you 100% sure this cannot be an issue that is caused by the location from where you are calling? (ie. atmospheric disturbance, GSM pole malfunction, etc.)?

Someone might if you elaborate a bit more than this. What "things" can't you send? Can you send other things? Is your phone visible? Can you pair the device?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 2010ngojo:
For some reason while typing on the physical keyboard the first letter does not auto-capitalize. I usually notice this while using Handcent. Of course, this happens about 2/3 of the time to all the time. One way I make it auto-cap is pressing the backspace key right before actually text.

How do I fix this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] astragreen:
Sometimes i can't pair, and if it pair it sent nothings :-(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
I'm sorry to repeat what Frank_071 has said already, but you should really write more about your problem:

When you pair, is it stable?

After you've paired, what do you do (in details) to transfer a file, and with which devices in front?

How long does it takes before it fails?

When it fails, what error do you get? And on the other device too?

Have you tried with different programs/files/devices?

When people help you, they use their time to think for you, try for you, search for you, and compile that information so that you can solve your problem. I think it's obvious, then, that you too take some time to be specific and helpful with your helpers :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
The options are available to do what your complaining about. It amazes me how someone, who doesn't have a clue as to how to develop a ROM, wants to tell a DEVELOPER how to develop a ROM, Something he's nice enough to share with us. Especially since you aren't forced to flash this. At All. If you don't like it, flash another ROM. Stock ones are available if you hadn't notice, which you clearly haven't.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bouzouki:
i rooted my phone immediately when i got it a few months back, and all ive used on it was virtuous from version .8.0 on. i recently switched over to cyanogen to see how that works and i have to say i am not really impressed over virtuous. i have to say that cyanogen is a great rom, it is super fast, has gingerbread and it has a lot of tweaks that are currently available as addons to virtuous as standard on cyanogen as well as some that arent available on virtuous. but i cannot wait to get back to virtuous. the battery life is pretty much the same on both roms, but overall, i think virtuous is a much better rom for my needs. just wanted to put my two cents in here. thank you for all the hard work that all the developers put into this.

I use the es explorer, than i choose the picture, mp3 or apk after that i go of send, than it ask me wich method i would like to send, i choose bluetooth than i choose the device wich i would to sent my data, after that he paired or not, if it is paired it would like to send it, but in the notification bar is 0 sendet, 1 error. I tried it with a htc wildfire and a htc desire. at the other device there is nothing, sorry fo my bad english i'm from germany. hope you can understand me, if not ask me please :-)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] imsuperjp:
Are there some features I wish the ROM had? Yes, but I could say the same thing about my wife. jk. Love the ROM, great battery life, and the most stable one I have used. Keep up the good work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
I wish I could have thought of building a ROM with the best battery life, no bugs whatsoever and make every possible option configurable. What a wonderful, unique set of ideas, we'll get right on it! Do you realize how ridiculous you sound? Or when you read what you wrote back to yourself, do you actually pat yourself on the back?

Every change we make is going to be met with people who approve and others who do not. We aim to please the majority. If you were paying attention at all, you would notice that we're trying to provide as many options as possible. However, the time we have to work on this FREE PROJECT is finite, so not all the options are available YET.

If you feel the ROM is going backwards, then I encourage you to try out one of the many others available here on XDA. But please go away if this is how you intend to "contribute" to this thread, as you've added absolutely nothing of value.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crazyC:
I am new to Android - a week and a half in - and really like this ROM - so thank you.

I have used all 3 kernels, and am settling on the advanced, combined with CPU Tuner, and am gettingw hat I consider to be great battery life. I have no screen wake up issues etc so far.

I am experiencing however the issue of 'no service' temporarily - when you tell the phone to look for the preferred provider, it says the sim card does not allow registration on that network. However then it will list Vodafone UK when you scan, and will then register and connect. I am not sure why the phone seems to lose registration with the network. This has happened with all 3 kernels. Perhaps it is my SIM? but I think I saw some others with the issue earlier in the thread.

Any advice gratefully accepted.

Thanks again.

Hey RMK, Just out of curiosity, will this project ever be based off the incredible s ROM? I see a few differences that seem like decent upgrades that's all.

I have searched this whole thread and have not found the answer to the trackpad question I have. I know that we now have the option to disable trackpad unlock but still have trackpad awake. my question: is there going to be a way to just disable it all together both trackpad awake and unlock??? I would just like to have that one option. I know you get a lot of request and I only ever try to provide feedback and thanks but I would like to know how to do this if possible.....

I also can not get the wifi calling on my G2. I have wiped reinstalled wiped wiped rebooted and wiped like 30 other times and still can not get it. I wiped and installed 9.0 and it works fine. Go back to 1.0.1 and nothing. Also swype is not there either. It is like it doesn't think its a G2. Please help.

Thanks @rmk40 and Evil for your work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
The only point i'm not sure to understand is: you try to send by bluetooth from your Desire Z to a Wildfire and a Desire, is that right? From phone to phone then. Did you pair these phones together before, from the Bluetooth menu? That way, you wouldn't have to go through the pairing process at each sending, which often fails with no clear reason.

You should try to pair your devices first, then try again to send to an already paired device.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NeverGone\RU:
Is it possible to change «model number» back to «HTC Desire Z A7272»? Maybe via some patch installed after main Virtuous' ZIP?

Just a nice touch for non-TMOUS devices :)

Great job, anyway. Sticking with this ROM.

I've been over on CM7 for a few weeks, and am coming back to Virtuous tonite. CM7 is nice, but I just can't handle that crappy camera app, and I'm having serious GPS issues - GPS worked great on Nightly #4, but is broke for me again on #11. I don't have time to jack with that.

At least with Virtuous, I know everything works, and works well. Question: is the next version coming out in the next few days, or is v1.0.1 going to be it for a few days? I don't want to switch back and get all setup just to wipe a few days later and do it all over again.

Just re-flash the ROM. You don't need to wipe or anything.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] IMPEREAL:
I have done that over and over. I even installed 9.0 and tried to flash 1.0.1 over it to see if it would keep the wifi calling and it deletes the wifi calling if I do that. I have gone straight from 9.0 to 1.0.1 and that wont keep wifi calling. I have done a wipe on everything and then flashed 1.0.1 and still no wifi calling or swype. I don't use swipe but it tells me that whatever the new way if installing is where wifi calling and swype will only install on T-Mobile devices. For some reason its does not think my G2 is a T-Mobile device which it clearly is. I get wifi calling on 9.0+ but not on 1.0+
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Broman400:
For some reason I don't get all my text messages... I am using GOSMS but when I get the little popup when I get a text message it shows it, but if I go into the GOSMS program the text message isn't there or even in the default HTC Messaging app.

Use root uninstaller and un install that **** program. Completely screwed over my phone with that exact same bug once I uninstalled, things went back to normal.

I am running V1.0.1 I have wiped and reflashed tried both kernels my Plantronics Voyager Pro and the uConnect in my Jeep connect, drop the connection than reconnect several times for Bluetooth even if it is connected there is no guarantee the audio is transferred to the headset. Ghengis suggested not allowing the permission to synch the phone book for the uConnect I tried that but same issue. Has anyone experienced these symptoms and found a solution? This started in V0.9.0 but seems to have gotten worse. Otherwise I have zero problems with the ROM and am getting excellent battery life.

Thank you

Have you tried :

1. reflashing the ROM (no wipe needed, although you can wipe cache adn Dalvik)

2. flashing a new radio ?

Hi, I'm wondering if its possible to flash back to the official European Rom without wipe? I flashed this Rom from official European Rom without wipe and all is well, so I don't know if it'll be the same to flash back without wipe. Thanks in advance!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
Oh ok so unfortunately I can't help any further ATM. Don't hesitate to post here the solution when you come up with it :)

Both ways should NOT be possible. You are kind of lucky if you came from the official to Virtuous without a wipe and are experiencing no bug. However, I wouldn't try it reverse, really. What is the problem with wiping? Use Titan Backup first and a restoration is achieved in no time! Except you must lay again your home screens ;)

I have been running your roms for sometime and have not really had any issues until 1.0 I tried cyanogen 7.0 for a bit from your rom while waiting for 1.0 and when I wiped all and went to 1.0 and it installs fine but swype and wifi calling are missing. It is as if the rom does not think my phone is a G2. Is there anything else I can try on my own. As you can see from my post I have tried just about everything I can to make it work. I flashed 9.0 again and get the wifi calling back. Then I have even flashed 1.0.1 right over it to see if it will keep the wifi calling but it just deletes it. I have wiped all and flashed fresh and still no swype or wifi calling. I am back on cyanogen for now due to needing wifi calling but I am willing to try anything to get back to your rom. I don't know how to send logs and all that. But I don't think it would help as the rom runs perfect no fc it just doesn't install wifi calling. Maybe you can link me to a patch to install wifi calling it on top of the rom or something???

Thank you for your time and I really appreciate your work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Chinam4n:
I just recently flashed this ROM a couple of hours ago, I have Swype and WiFi calling. Idk, it might just be you. I would say re download the ROM, do a full wipe, and try again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] IMPEREAL:
Yeah I have done that a few times.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GenghisZ:
From what I understand:

During first boot of the ROM, a script will check what provider you use.

If you have T-Mobile it will install Wifi-calling and Swype.

If you haven't got T-mobile, then it will not.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xyrcncp:
Question. When the phone is paired with a Bluetooth device, how does it know what music application to launch automatically?

Reason why I'm asking is because this is happening to me (started today):

I have an Alpine head unit with the Bluetooth adapter. The phone pairs and connects just fine, however, the Music app doesn't automatically launch as it used to just a few days ago. However, if I launch Pandora, then kill it (even by force stopping it), and switch back to the BT Audio option in the head unit, the phone will automatically launch Pandora, but not Music. Yet, if I launch the Music app manually, the audio will play just fine.

Also, the head unit controls (Play/Pause, FFW/RW will work for Pandora but not at all for Music.

Any ideas why this would happen all of the sudden? I've rebooted the phone, forced close all music-related apps, turned on and off BT, unpaired the devices and re-paired them and nothing... :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Chinam4n:
Well, the best way to get those features, you could push them with ADB. There's a guide to restore Swype, but idk about WiFi calling.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GenghisZ:
And do you also have T-Mobile as your operator?

If yes: was your SIM inserted during first boot?
