Well, the stock rom my two phones came with both had the HTC Facebook App preinstalled. I could then additionally download the regular Facebook from the Market and as a result had two different apps to choose from. Since they differ slightly in functionality (with the regular Facebook App you can not "like" indivual comments for example!) I would like to have 'em both...

The original HTC Desire Z stock roms had the version numbers 1.72.405.2 and 1.82.161.1.

I don't necessarily want to update the HTC Facebook App. I just want to have it. :)

And since the Downloads App suddenly announced having downloaded an update for the HTC Facebook App:

-------------------------

HtcFacebook.apk

synergy-base.googlecode.com

Ready 410 KB 22.07.11

-------------------------

I was getting my hopes up, that installing this update might bring the HTC Facebook Icon back into my phone. But the update process always fails. As did several manual attempts to (re-)install the HtcFacebook.apk

Again, any help appreciated. I can't be the only one with the HTC Facebook App missing and automated process like the Downloads App Update failing.

I can only confirm the behavior. My trackpad for me is hardly usable. When I want to go backwards, I have to REALLY carefully move my finger from right to left to get the cursor moving at all. If I swipe over it very fast, nothing happens. I think this was better when I was still running the Original Stock ROM, but I am not too sure about this.

Is there any setting, where you can adjust the sensitivity of the trackpad sensor? Right now I hardly use the trackpad, because it is really inconvenient.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Freekers1337:
I have _exactly_ the same problem. My phone is also an Italian one and during the install procedure it also only shows 4 languages (English, Italian, German and French/Spanish I believe). And yes indeed, everything remains Dutch, even though it shows 'English' as checked... apart from the hardware keyboard language.

In Cyanogenmod it works fine and I'm able to change the language for the hardware keyboard to Dutch. In this ROM (and many others), I'm unable to do so.

As soon as I unfold the hardware keyboard, it shows a little 'It' symbol in the notification bar, referring to Italian.

I wiped, wiped again and did 3 reinstalls.. didn't help :(

The real annoying thing about this is that when you type a SMS now, it thinks you're typing Italian, since the hardware keyboard 'Default Language' is set to Italian. So all the words you type are red underlined and if you want to correct a typo, it thinks you want to replace the red underliend word with the closed match in the dictionary, so you'll end up with an Italian word..

And since you can't turn off the spell checking in the HTC SMS app, this is driving me insane.

How and why does it 'know' that my phone is Italian, even though I debranded it, rooted it, s-off and all the other things...

You can't disable the spell checking feauture in the HTC SMS app yet...

@Frank71 & Freekers

It seems that the language recognition is a little borked at the moment. Unfortunately I can only type in English so I have never had the need to test out a different language nor have the proficiency to even test out another language. Hopefully there you can put a request to the devs to see what can be done about that.

and on the question about wiping and restoring. I do still have to ask if you restored any system settings. You eliminated the first potential problem which is installing over an old rom so that's good. I want to make sure that you did not restore any system settings via titanium backup or any other backup software. (this is stuff like sms preference, wifi networks, bluetooth settings, etc)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Freekers1337:
Well, the language recognition isn't really borked, since originally it really is an Italian phone. I guess somewhere deep, very deep hidden in the phone, maybe by IMEI or S/N, it still knows it's an Italian phone.

However, is it possible to 'force' the phone to use the 'vision-keypad' instead of the 'vision-keypad-ita', using setprop ? If so, how ? I tried some commands myself but they all failed. I don't know the correct syntax. Maybe this screenshot can help you identifying the two props which need to be changed;

I didn't use Titian Backup at all. I just did a clean flash of the ROM.

Thanks !

Hi,

Is there a setting to disable the rotating rosie when i open keyboard? It changes my live weather wallpaper from kindgom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
Man, I wish I can help you out, but as I said earlier, I don't have the required fluency or understanding of any language other than Thai and English and I can't even write in Thai. I guess you can post it up on the public bug tracker, but make sure it's not on there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
By manual, do you mean trying to use the Package Installer? That won't work for system apk's.

If so try going to terminal and (assuming you put it in your sdcard root directory) type:

mount -o remount, rw /system

cp /sdcard/HtcFacebook.apk /system/app

Then reboot your phone. Let us know if that works.

I noticed that Sense mail app does not have that handy red flag any more. I need it. Could anyone up the one that has? Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashrack0:
I had the same problem. The phone red dotted everything that wasn't written in english. So the only workaround I've found was using another keyboard input like Smart Keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Frank_071:
I agree with Freekers that it probably isn't borked, but just not what we like it to be... Note that with Virtuous Unity I had the same problem (only showing the 4 installation languages), but with Virtuous 1.0.x all languages were shown... So it might be a GB thingy or a difference in the HTC install app.

I didn't but even if I did, such a restore action would take place after the setup dialog is shown and walked through. At least in my case it did. But rest assured: I upgraded my own HTC DZ (which is an original Dutch one) and made the error of restoring few system settings of which Titanium thought they would pass (green colored). It gave me such a hassle that I will Never Ever Do That Again...

Regards!

For anyone using this with the 3.0 lockscreen that also updates the sms app, remember to keep using ghostly as I just had my first missed sms in ages. I was thinking of stopping using ghostly as it had not found anything for ages.....

Is this still the recommended radio for virtuous_sense_2.0?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
Thanks for the heads up! I'll just push the original back should solve the issues :)

Anyways I've been running some tests with email and does anyone else find that HTC mail is much slower at receiving/ sending than the gmail app?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bogg:
I had problems with both GSM and 3G reception using this rom (earlier I had 1.0.x and had no problems). Updated to the latest Radio, matched RIL and also cleared EFS. Now I have reception where I used to again :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] draginox:
Which is the latest radio?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tronar:
According to this thread and this thread the latest radio for the HTC Desire Z is 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03, which was released by HTC together with the latest Stock ROM 2.42.405.2

To my knowledge, rmk40 has not officially recommended any specific Radio version for 2.0.0.

As far as I could collect the rare data in the forums, 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03 seems to be the recommended Radio for Virtuous Sense 2.0.0, since Virtuous Sense 2.0.0 is based on the latest Stock ROM 2.42.405.2.

An additional RIL-matching should thus not be necessary, because the Radio and the ROM were released together. Though I have heard people recommend doing it nonetheless. I personally rather stick to the "if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it"-rule. :-)

I hope that helps. If anybody has something to add to this, please go ahead.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
On the subject of the Sense 3 lockscreen zip from Seo's thread, consider pushing back the original HTCdialer (and phone) if you want it to work in landscape. I think the hardware number keys are also messed up if you try to use them to dial a number. If you put the stock ones back, the phone still works on incoming calls but you get the stock 'drag bar down to answer phone' rather than the fancy lock-ring business.

Not many people use the hardware keyboard to dial out or put the dialer in landscape, so not a biggie.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] draginox:
Thanks Tronar :)

I only had one issue with this ROM, I cannot add a city in the HTC weather widget. It always adds "null" in front of whatever I type...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lolocabra:
my friend stream seems to not update it self and wen i try to update my fb status fron the widget it says that i'm not conected to any social network. why could be that?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lord Bodak:
I'm going to revise this statement-- it's not battery related. It happened to me tonight when the battery was at 95+. Really no idea what might be causing it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tronar:
Did you try to remove the Widget from your homescreen? And then place it there again? And then give the city adding another try?

If that shouldn't work, maybe re-installing the Widget on a commandline basis might help...

Tronar
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tronar:
Did you go to settings, accounts and then check, if an account named "HTC Facebook" is activated and has the necessary login and password?

If not, you have to add this account. Then try it again with friend stream...

Tronar
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
Not sure what it is but sounds like a hardware thing. If the phone shuts off and pressing the power button doesn't switch it back on again, then my guess is that maybe the battery is not correctly delivering power to the phone. It could be that contact with the battery is bad, so when you pull the battery and put it back in again, you're re-siting the battery and then it works again. Try checking the battery contacts to see if they're dirty or bent and also looking to see if the battery is loose in some way. Highly unlikely that it's the ROM though!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OpenMinded:
I had the exact same thing with the doubleshot rom.

It definitely seems like a software issue to me: the phone hangs and seems to be off, but is not: that is why the button does not respond.

That's why it works after a battery pull and push.

just try another rom and see if you have the same issues, or just switch kernels first
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crazyC:
Also make sure the oc frequencies are not set too low.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lord Bodak:
I haven't changed the OC frequencies at all, but that's an interesting idea. Could the underclocking when the screen is off cause the problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mputtr:
Ok, I just found the fix for the sense clock not updating the right location

Go to App-->setup-->run through the initial setup thing. (just hit next and skip to get to the end)

Run weather and it'll update itself properly.

Hope that helps!

Is it Possible to have circular rosie homescreens.

Sorry to bump this, but anyone?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Hey guys,

I seem to be having a few issues with this ROM. I tried looking through the thread to see if there are any fixes, but I couldnt find anything.

For a little background, I'm not exactly a noob user, but I'm not that much of a power user either. I was on CM7 but I wanted Sense on my G2 so I installed this, and when it didn't boot, figured out I needed the DZ Hboot, so installed that and made everything work, right back to the restoration of data only on Titanium ( the Market took care of installing my apps right back ) and nothing was done with my system settings. I configured all of that from scratch.

My issues :

#1 Spare Parts isn't working. It FCs when I want to see the battery history, and Spare Parts+ says it could not find a Battery Stats Activity in my ROM. I require this to find out what's hogging my battery like mad.

#2 My battery life is very low with this ROM compared to CM7 with the same settings. I usually get around 30-35hours with the stock battery and around 45 with my 1800mAh battery with these settings on CM7 - Wifi always on, data off, 2G only, twitter, facebook, weather, etc on manual refresh with push notifications on for gmail, twitter mentions, whatsapp. Basically, if I dont get a push notification, my apps don't use the internet. The only difference is I have HTC Sense syncing ( not sure what it does other than give me limited access over the internet ) and my stock battery barely does 1 day and 1800mAh a little more than that. Also, my wireless location is on, and it'll probably pick up over wifi quickly.

#3 I used to have the battery percentage in the status bar, but Gtalk stopped working randomly, not sending messages and all that, so I reflashed the ROM wiping dalvik cache, after fixing permissions and now I dont have a textual battery percentage anymore. Its the regular bar.

#4 My overclock didn't stick after I reflashed the ROM again. I thought I was supposed to put a text file on the sdcard so that it can read the overclock, but I'm not exactly sure on how to OC ( very used to CM and 1.2Ghz ) so I'm running stock clocks for now. Any help on this would be appreciated.

#5 When I swipe homescreens, its smooth and all, but when I use the trackpad to change homescreens, it gets extremely choppy. Any fix for that..?

#6 Also, I wanted to know if its possible to get continuous scroll instead of the page by page scroll in the rosie launcher? I'm used to just flicking and all that on LauncherPro etc.

TIA guys :)

Great ROM btw. Its mostly smooth. Not as smooth as CM7, but considering this has more eye candy than CM, I'll give the devil its due.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Tronar:
Thank you for the tip. I tried that in a slightly different way: I copied the new HtcFacebook.apk from the /sdcard/downloads location to /system/app using an app named Root-Explorer

I also set the correct rights (rw-r--r-- like all the other .apk-Files in the same folder) and the correct ownership (root and root) afterwards.

Then I rebooted, but nothing changed. :(

My feeling is, that I need to Install the .apk-File, not just drop it someplace.

What seems to confirm my feeling is, that the command:

adb shell pm list packages

produces amongst hundreds of others also the following two entries

package:com.htc.socialnetwork.facebook
package:com.facebook.katana

whereas the new HtcFacebook.apk file in the Downloads-App folder, that I copied into /system/app has according to Downloads the following package name:

HtcFacebook.apk
synergy-base.googlecode.com
Ready 410 KB 22.07.11

So obviously, although the old HtcFacebook.apk in /system/app has been replaced by the latest version found in /sdcard/downloads, the package list still thinks, the old HtcFacebook.apk would be in place. :confused:

My guess is, that somehow the certificate system is a little buggy with Virtuous Sense 2.0.0. Maybe the signing of the packages is therefore not recognized. Because an automatic update should be able to install itself without problems.

But instead it fails and also all commandline installation attempts (Terminal or ADB) fail with this error message:

Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]

I also get the same Error Message when trying to re-install the HtcFacebook.apk that was already originally in /system/app. I mean that package should be signed correctly, since it came with the ROM, shouldn't it? But it also refuses to install or re-install. So I guess it must be a bug in the Virtuous Sense 2.0.0 ROM... :(

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Razorless:
There is one thing still bugging me.

Automatic brightness still does not work on this ROM. Any fixes?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Frank_071:
Sure we miss it, but it isn't possible in GB (for now). And compared to 1.0.2 this ROM is so much better that reverting is not an option.

From the author of SP+: "Note that stock GingerBread ROMs do not have the Battery History activity. You need CM7 or Custom Rom to see this. I am working on a fix for a future version". Probably Virtuous does not include that feature.

Most people, amongst who you can find myself, are very pleased with the battery life. Perhaps CM7 has less background services that use mobile data?

Don't really know what you mean here, because the regular bar (for this rom) is a vertical bar with the percentage next to it.

Not a problem here....

Other than making it all into a list (via Menu) I don't know of a possibility.

In my opinion it does work... The only thing is that brightness is being set to full when using the camera (and not being reset). You can use AutomateIt to solve this.

#1 : For Battery history, use chamonix's BetterBatteryStats: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809

#4 : Try to get the Virtuous Overclock tool from the Virtuous Unity ROM v. 1.31. It works with this ROM too. Basically this will let you set the oc speeds without having to mess around with editing files. I'll try to post the apk, but am at work so if anyone else has it, feel free to post it.

EDIT: Alternatively, install Sybregunne's Daemon Controller from here (it works and is more up-to-date): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16015003&postcount=43193

(Thanks to the respective devs for their great contributions.)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
First, thanks for the replies.

I thought Virtuous was Sense with lots of optimizations and all that. I figured they'd have a battery stats apk included :S.

Well, I can't see what's really draining the battery until I get the app quoted below.

Mine isn't a vertical bar anymore. Its the regular bar that you see on stock phones :(.

Thanks. I have Virtuous Unity 1.29 somewhere on my drive. I thought it was far too laggy at 1.2Ghz. Animations weren't smooth even after quite a few reboots on a full wipe.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
Ah you misunderstand me, I wasn't suggesting that you actually flash the Unity ROM. It's Unity 1.31 that actually came with a tool that let you set the overclock via a graphical UI and the apk from that ROM can be used in Virtuous Sense 2.0.

However, if you use Sybregunne's Daemon Controller, you can ignore what I said about Unity as it does the same job and has been updated. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aumkar:
Nono, I got it. I thought it'd be on 1.29 and I'll just unzip and see. Didn't quite see it was on 1.31, which I'm downloading now.

Also, I got the Daemon Controller and BetterBatteryStats apk. Lets hope this works out better for me.

Just tried something and I'm really surprised that it worked.

I have been after getting the extended settings and transparency in the notification bar. I was unable to do it my self so I pulled the SystemUI.apk from xT4Z1N4TRx port of the LeeDrOiD_HD and pushed it to my phone and much to my surprise it worked.

It will change some of the icons in the notification bar, when I have more time I will change it so it has the stock icons, or you can change them yourself with UOT.

Please let me know if it works for you ;)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
Wish I could help you out there, but I can only guess that there's something on your device setup it doesn't agree with. As the Virtuous Overclock tool is essentially based on an older version of the Daemon Controller, it's maybe not so surprising it fc's for you as well.
