[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] darkphoenix2012:
I've been testing this heavily all day today and yesterday evening, and I can say this is still by far the best sense rom available to us to date. Many issues are fixed with each release. I tested the stock kernel heavily and I can say it is way better on battery life but you can expect less performance, and possibly a slight delay.

The advanced kernel has NO lag whatsoever but does indeed drain the battery faster. As far as wake issues, I have only had one during alarm clock but haven't had that problem since changing setcpu profiles a few times. This is to be expected imo, you can't have blistering fast speeds without some kind of battery drain.

Still having random LWP issues with freezing up, but I am starting to wonder if it is an HTC issue with newer firmware somehow. I didn't have this problem with the first few builds of sense that were completely stock desireZ firmware and etc. The stock LWP haven't frozen up even once for me, and certain lwp are seemingly more prone to lockups than others.

Again thank you very much for your hard work, all of you!! This rom is as good as it gets for those favoring sense over vanilla/cm IMO!

Will test this for a few more days, I don't see a reason to change roms again, this is better than the old firmware now aside from a few minor things.

First my phone is a Tmobile G2. I am perm rooted, have the newest recovery installed from rom manager, radio is 12.22.60.09bu_26.02.01.15m2. I did not wipe before installin 0.9.5 after being perm rooted. I kept getting process acore is force closing. Do I need to wipe? If so what is this process or how do I get a good install of virtous?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chobie:
My keyboard backlight randomly turns on and off while typing. Anyone else experiencing this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chobie:
If youve read the instructions, a full wipe is needed for installing this rom (written in bold), as with any other new rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
well, since you're a noob I'll explain a little, when you install virtuous it wipes the system and caches... but not the user data, this is what's causing you issues... so you have a couple options... from the settings, you can "wipe user data" or you can boot into recovery and choose "factory reset/clear data" this will fix all the issues you are having most likely, and if you still have some issues you try clearing data AND reflashing... I suggest backing everything up with titanium, but only restore things that are A) white (user apps plus app data) and/or B) Green (user data, sms, contacts...etc), DO NOT restore anything that shows as red unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing... this should solve 99% of your issues... if you're lucky 100% =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] snopro21:
Thanks wiping now, flashing as I type. Thanks you guys are awesome!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] snopro21:
Running perfect now! Only the best at XDA!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Aha... everytime i watch youtube and exit my phone stops responding.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
This is a known issue with YouTube, not the rom. If you rotate back to portrait mode before exiting, it won't happen.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] heiko-soft:
Running perfect now!:D:D:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Oh. Alright
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HAK Devil:
Just flashed the rom and it is absolutely brilliant. Only request I have is for the stock news apk to be posted. I know that it was removed due to redundancy but I like the widget for that one a lot better and it fits on one line on my home screen.

Beyond that I am loving this rom, thanks a lot to all the devs and their hard work
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chobie:
I'm also not able to locate via gps alone on Google maps and can't get my location either WiFi or gps on twidroyd.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bstylz911:
I'm loving the new update. But I am having some issues.

Before I had 0.9.5 and my signal was great

Now on v1.0.0, My signal would drop randomly from 4 bars to none.

And I compared it too some other t-mobile phones and in some areas, a sidekick 08 Wud have full bars while my G2 had NONE.

Any suggestions? Or fixes?????

Anything would help thank you.

Just flashed the latest Virtuous rom and it is running smooth with standard kernel, thanks for a great rom....keep up the great work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
weeeeee........

I hope rmk and eViL_D won't mind, I have just pushed lights.vision.so from pershoot to /system/lib/hw and now I have speaker LED notifications working.. I don't know if this is correct way or did I break anything on my phone yet :P, so use at your own risk ;)..

edit: i was an idiot, got nothing to do with that file :S.. it actually works out of the box for emails, but not for sms.. and that file didn't change it, sorry for talking too soon. ignore me
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lowreeds:
Working smooth all day. Lots of stuff is fixed for me. Thanks for the great work!

day 2 - calls were not connecting so like a member upthread i had to flash this radio Vision_RADIO_12.28h.60.140f_26.06.02.27_M

an update zip is available here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17831112/PC10IMG.zip Thanks to joemm

day 3 reflashed rom and got "no service" problem real bad. reflashed radio on top of 1.0.1 and now all is well.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HTC HD2 MAN:
Been keeping an eye and waiting patiently for this rom to mature since v0.2.5 and its getting there. I'll probably install it on the next update. :) Good work by the way.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stryder5:
Is it just me, or does the "Virtuous Settings & Toggles" in Virtuous Buddy come up blank?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
It's blank but it won't be soon. Working on the scripts.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
First post/changelogs ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ashex1:
Try flashing a different radio and it may fix your problem.

On a side-note, I'm running v0.9.5 with most of the changes of the current release applied. Will Virtuous Buddy be useful for me or should I not bother using it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nihil38:
hmmm

tried the various Ardoid zips for arabisation, and tried the ARA apk removed in the changelog for 1.0.0...not happening... I guess it will have to be virtuous 0.9.5 for a while... :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ashex1:
the zips on Ardoid were built for 1.34 and 1.72, anything else it won't work. You'll just want to use 0.9.5 with the kernel from 1.0.0.

Can also add in the new framework-res.apk for smooth sense, you'll want to grab the apk from the git repo.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bongd:
In definite agreement!

They should make a Readme app crafted like the HTC Sense Tips app. I noticed that nothing but the same questions get answered too. Granted, I've asked similarly novice answers in the past but I try searching first.

Some people make the most brainless complaints and comments. It's getting to be a bit aggravating now. This is such a great ROM. I have OCC and always have a complaint, but this is such a polished project. Even the betas other than the last have been wicked and I can't complain at all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Exanimus:
why doesnt this work as OTA update through ROM-manager?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bloodhawk:
Updated asa it came out....and working pretty well.

Only quirk I have are the Rosie slowdowns.

I'm on the latest advaced kernel with the governor set to interactive max freq 1017 . Screen off profile at 245/368 (Conservative).

There is no lag what so ever when turning on and off the lockscreen.

Great work by rmk and eVil!!!

btw. @eVil D:

i recently installed your NXSense HD onto my mums Nexus One and it somewhat feels slightly smoother than the one we have for the G2/Desire Z. The difference is specially noticeable when moving about in the home screens. Not that im complaining, just that i was kinda curious.

Also is there any way to enable ext swap on the G2/Desire Z?

PS: Can anyone point out how I can join the IRC CHANNEL?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YOSEFE:
Thank you for the new release.

I have a problem with some apps not installing, like the "aldiko" ebook roeader.

Lastly, the button on the botton right of the screen does not do anything when I select it. Is it programmable? I am referring to one of the three along with the app drawer and phone, not camera icon.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
Yes, Applications - LaunchKey
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YOSEFE:
Thank you for this one.

Now only waiting to find out why some apps won't install, when these apps installed in r1.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tivchev:
I haven't actually worked out why but when i unmount my SD card i can install all apps that wouldn't install otherwise...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YOSEFE:
I will try the unmount method now.

Installed aldiko with sdcard unmounted.

EDIT: I think I will try to revert to r1. I had no installation issues with any apps. I will have to see if I can add some goodies provided by rmk40.

EDIT 2: I meant reverting to 1.0.0 BETA.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] felixk87:
how is it running faster than stock for you? I loaded it the other day and spent this weekend playing around customizing it and it felt really jittery and slow. I disabled most of the widgets and still nothing.

I also still can't get swype to work, yes I have tried the suggestions offered in this thread.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NXUS:
+1

couldn't agree more, i had some bugs, but a full wipe and reflash fixed EVERYTHING for me, its the number one thing people should do before posting bugs. I think i have mild OCD (jk) but i always like EVERYTHING to work as it should and little things bother me a lot, but ive been really happy with this rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wheeliest:
works perfect on my g2, runs smooth/fast also. (rom and swype and Vanilla mms)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] vikramdhani:
Wondef it here will be any new version to this rom ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EuroSpeed:
I didn't do anything special to make it run a certain way. So I can't really say i did anything. But I have more widgets loaded on this ROM than i did on stock and it runs great. No problems at all, no lag.

I got swype to work by changing what I needed to in the build.prop.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Baba1472:
Where did you go to change ur build.prop? Im looking in my myBackup pro files and theres no build.prop file and the nandroid requires me to extract the files so I don't think that is it. Also cant find swype in my apps list on my phone but I have it installed.

-Baba
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phawkes:
The build.prop file is in the /system folder if i recall. I used root explorer to find it and changed it with the text editor. Don't forget that you need the libswypecore.so file in the /system/lib folder to get it to work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Baba1472:
so are those the only 2 things to do? And so we need to change the build.prop of the rom not build.prop of swype(if that even exists)? Wouldn't this change other applications also?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phawkes:
My other applications don't seem to be affected by the changes. Thats pretty much all you need to do. Put the lib file in the /system/lib folder, change the build.prop of the rom(not swype if there is one) and install. You should be good to go after that. And make sure you check swype in the lang and keyboard settings.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] felixk87:
i found where to change the build.prop edits, rebooted, reset permissions, but it still didn't work.

do you have it oc'ed?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phawkes:
Did you put the libSwypeCore.so file where it belonged?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Baba1472:
Where is that file located? the libswypecore i mean? Is it in the backup zipped files?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] felixk87:
I did put it where it there, I used adb push and it said successful so i assumed it was there.

Directly below the model and brand entries are two other entries also have "vision" at the end, should they be changed to G2?

I might start from scratch and try again. Hopefully it will not stutter after a clean wipe.

I
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EuroSpeed:
Just change the two that were specified.

ro.product.model=HTC Vision

ro.product.brand=htc_wwe

to

ro.product.model=T-Mobile G2

ro.product.brand=tmobile
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johnsonrod27:
Not to sound ignorant but didnt they say there was going to be an update last night? Did i miss it or is it not here yet.. i didnt see it anywhere...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EuroSpeed:
They did say, it just hasn't been released yet.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phawkes:
I would highly suggest using root explorer. If you don't have it you should get it from the market. Its a lil pricey $4-5 i think but its honestly worth it. It made everything involving root simple for me. I'll let you guys know exactly what I did to make swype happen for me.

All you need is root explorer (for my method), the dump from the stock G2 rom (can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8327710&postcount=8)

Now after you download the dump. Open the app folder, grab the swype .apk, and go to the lib folder and grab the libSwypeCore.so.

Put both files on the root of your sd card.

Using root explorer, go to /sdcard, copy the libSwypeCore.so, go back to the root of the phone, and go to the /system/lib folder (change Mount R/O to Mount R/W, if it doesnt work try it vise-versa) and paste the libSwypeCore.so file there.

Go back to the /system folder and long pres the build.prop file, scroll down and hit Open in Text Editor. (change Mount R/O to Mount R/W, if it doesnt work try it vise-versa)

In the Text Editor apply these changes :

After typing in the changes hit save and exit.

Install the swype.apk, check it off in the language and keyboard settings.

Reboot. (this is actually pretty important because a few people couldnt get theirs to work until they did this, including me)

Hopefully that works for you guys. If you dont wanna pay for root explorer then just buy it and to do this and refund your money if you want. But I highly suggest keeping it because its usefulness has been on multiple occasions for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pyro9219:
I second this method, I did this (trial and error) this morning.. I'm loving sense!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NXUS:
I just did this and followed steps exactly and in under 5 min have swype working perfectly
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mykeldrip:
I'm just having 2 issues. The only thing I really notice is pics don't really seem clear and crisp. Not in the gallery they are ok but on google image and contact pictures don't seem to show up right.....the second thing not real big but when using the search feature on xda app it force closes when you hit search button! Other than that great job as usual!!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BSAKSOUK:
Ya any idea why not?

it was supposed in 0.95 :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phawkes:
I'm having trouble with my market force closing on me every time I open it. Anyone know why or how to stop it from happening? I wiped and did everything properly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nihil38:
Its based on 1.85 rom, released for Europe. Virtuous 0.9.5 is based on the 1.83 rom released for Arab world.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] prp2:
Fantastic work, guys! Thanks!

One little thing I noticed was the network indicator changed from saying "H" to saying "3G+". From my understanding, that's what Orange refers to their HSDPA network as, correct?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bstylz911:
What radio would u reccomend?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
From what I know yup
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Yanardag:
Hi Virtuous Team,

thx for great Rom, it runs like a charm. But i have a minimal problem with

the Trackpad UNLOCK function, i dont like when its turn on in my case (dubble tab to trackpad)

Can you tell me how i can deactivate the UNLOCK funktion?

The trackpad wake up function is realy usefull but unlock is not a good idea.

Second problem is that youtube app, it crashes.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bstylz911:
Ok so since the update my signal has been really bad.

I flashed the cyonagen 7 and signal is perfect.

What's going on???(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] imsuperjp:
I am having the opposite as you. Cyonagen 7 signal is bad. Virtuous is perfect
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Big Dawg 23:
I am with you. I have used mostly Cyanogen. For a few weeks I used Enomother. However after several random reboots with CM7 RC1, very poor battery and low signal I moved go Viritious .90 Saturday via ROM Manager. Then moved to 1.0 yesterday. From what I see this is the best one. Can't wait for a Gingerbread version.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GenghisZ:
Aldiko 2.0 is running just fine over here. I did not do anything special to get it to work, just install it.

No problem here on 1.0.0

I tried full screen, turned around the screen, paused, etc etc and everything works fine. No lag and no FC/crash.

Thanks for the hard work and the great release rmk40 and eViL D: !!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bstylz911:
What!? I prefer virtuous than cyonagen but I am FORCED to use cyonagen because of virtuous signals problem for me. :(

Any suggestions guys???

I was using The version before v1.0.0, and my signal was perfect aswell.

Signal problems happened when I updated to v1 :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crevis24:
You could always go back to 0.9.5..............I actually dl'ed 1.0.0, and I reverted back to 0.9.5. Worked better for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bstylz911:
Tht wud work but people said that v1 has way better battery life.

So idk
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crevis24:
Really? Weird cause I had great battery life on 0.9.5 as compared to 1.0.0............go figure.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bstylz911:
Lmao. Why can't android be like apple.

Just jailbreak and unlock. And ur done lmao
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crevis24:
I would like to see other's opinions on this as well.

Are you having better or worse battery life on v1 vs. v0.9.5?

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bstylz911:
does anyone have links to v0.9.5?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
http://files.virtuousrom.com/vision/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmaciak:
+1 on this one. I am using htc leather case and it wakes up the screen everytime I push the phone inside ... probably will not be very battery friendly then, therefore I would like to completely turn the trackpad-wake off
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Exanimus:
I totally love this rom! Compared to 0.9.5 this Rom is waaaay faster, my problem with turning off the screen with just ONE push on the power button is also gone, regarding the battery life it's too early to say. But there is just one thing I don't like, the home screen redraws too slow.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Wait how is signal affected with diffrent roms? I though the radio affects it. Well I used both Virtuous and Cyan. I see no diffrence. Lol well that's what I thiink
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Check the "Add/Remove Virtuous Mods" section in ROM Manager. Just added a patch to disable TP unlock.

YouTube problems are known and are not specific to Virtuous. The app itself is just bugged.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bongd:
I've now extensively tested this ROM on the HTC and advanced kernel. Advanced kernel is running flawlessly.

Just wondering about the Power Menu for the Notifications area though... tried a few apps and don't like how it's kept as an Ongoing app below the Sense Previously Used apps. Anyway to remove that and put a Power Menu widget there? Or is that too tied into the Sense framework?

I'd rather integrate this into the ROM if possible through Virtuous Buddy if it's not too hard and feasible. I don't want to have more things running in the background or in the middle of the Notifications area.

Think this is a reasonable request or is it a bit too engaging?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
I hate the recent apps too, since you can just hold down the home button for the same effect. It can't be done via Virtuous Buddy but we can probably make it available via ROM Manager in the new mods section. I'll look into it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pyro9219:
CPU Speed Wrong?

Anyone notice that their CPU speed is being reported at 245/806, rather than 245/998?

I've got 1.0.0 running on the standard kernel. All seems smooth, but I'm trying to decide if it's misreporting, or something else fishy is going on.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
There are 3 kernels now: stock, standard and advanced. With 1.0.0, we ship with stock, which is an untouched HTC kernel. It's not overclocked whatsoever and works the most reliably for everyone. In other words, it's not misreported, this is exactly what you should see unless you flash an alternate kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pyro9219:
Excellent!

I'm not sure that was clear on the changelog. No harm though, Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] richierich118:
more amazing with every update no problems and my battery life increased with this update. I have been using this rom since it first came out and still loving it. Thanks for all the hard work
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrEzzzkiel:
This is my first try with this ROM... Tried CM7, but it was too "flashy" for me... I just want something like the stock ROM, but tweaked a little here and there... CM7 is just a total overhaul and I didn't enjoy it as much as stock...

So I'm looking forward to trying this one out! Thx a lot! :D :D :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1_enthusiast:
eh 1.0.0 gots slower for me, and market keeps on closing, i will go back to .95 and wait for next version :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bongd:
Thanks, rmk! That would be awesome.

And yes, I hold the Home button too so the Notifications' Recent Apps list is a redundancy for me and drives me nuts (like I said earlier, I have cell phone OCD! LOL). :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bongd:
I don't know if this is a bug or not, but I did encounter that as well. It's hard for me to know what I've modified at times and what ROM changes have updated. I need to clean my SD card!

Getting back to your issue, I personally uninstalled the Market updates and it reverted back to the last version. I flashed the version found in the Apps section on XDA (can't remember the thread) via CWM Recovery and it works just fine now. I wasn't sure if this was a bug or my own doing.

No more 20 second delay with the latest Market version either. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] smoochiezz24:
@bonga yes, I can confirm. My market opened instantly on WiFi nd 3g+

Sent from my sweet G2 :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] devalian:
Can anyone tells me that their hotmail works by using activesync? Gosh, I asked a few times and it got totally got ignored.

Just if someone had it working, can you please let me know how you set it up?

That's the only issue that stops me from this nice rom!

Mine had issue on the inbox that it keep refreshing and I can't even read it. Or sometimes I can't even create the account.

Anyone?
