Download process freezes system

I have a boot problem: I have installed this ROM on my rooted DZ and everything went fine. I have installed several apps, and all ok. Then I launched the FastWebInstall app from appbrain.com, where I have listed all the apps I had installed before ROM switch. The app batch-downloaded and installed about 50 apps, but then the system started downloading Facebook, Adobe Flash and several others *outside* FastWebInstall. I have disabled automatic sync before doing this, but it started on its own.

The problem is that it freezes the system at each boot. I turn on the phone, it loads, the home screen opens, mounts the SD, and resumes the downloading of the above apps. I have tried to kill it, but I can't. Usually when I tap on a progress bar, I am brought to the Market page where I can press "Cancel Download", but in this case when I tap, the "curtain menu" simply closes. All this happens in half a minute, then it freezes and stops responding. I have wiped Dalvik cache and reinstalled google apps from CWM Recovery, but nothing worked. The phone is unusable.

Is there any way to kill this unwanted download process from PC before a total wipe & reinstall of the ROM?

EDIT: I have managed to set the Airplane mode, and this lets me kill the Android Market process, but as soon as I go back to normal, the download starts again and freezes the system. Rebooting from Airplane mode, I'm told System UIDs are inconsistent and I have to wipe data partition.

Well, after a few hours and 100's of reboots I wiped data partition and got a clean barebone ROM, and started over with installs and configs :-/ The guilty here seems to be the packet installer, that goes mad with concurrent big files. I wonder if this is a general Android issue or a Virtuous issue (didn't happen with stock ROM).

well no, not that. thats sense 3.0. i was wondering about incorporating the gingerbread desire z rom into this one. i saw an alpha version, but that was released over 2 months ago. i want to know when the final version will be released. thanks for the response though, appreciate it :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
The update is waiting for HTC to release an official update for the Desire Z to Gingerbread. They've publicly stated that this should happen this summer, so it's just a waiting game.

I'm running the 2.0.0 alpha and it's fine as a daily driver. The main reason it's not an official release is because the Virtuous releases are only based on official HTC releases - the alpha is based on the leak of the Gingerbread update (think of it as practice for when the real update comes out).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
Ok, I will give it a try. Thanks

But before I do, does the alpha rom have all of the same features as this current one? Like wifi calling, the www/com button working for the g2, etc?

EDIT: i flashed the rom, and it answered my own question. you do not need to answer
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dreamnewbie:
I have a problem. I am tired of changing roms every day. I am an addict. I'd love to get back to stock but i cant find any method that would be successfull. I tried one which i found on this forum but it took away root only and gave me stock ginger from tmobile and stock recovery. But i still got s-off and eng boot. So i rooted it again and got back to virtuous. Can anyone give me a recipe to get stock sense rom, will everything like out of box??

Thanks in advance, Matthew
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Isn't Virtuous as close to stock as could be (as close as we'd like it to be)? To me it is, at least.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dreamnewbie:
Yes it is. But on the otherhand i have noticed that my cell is eating more battery than similar device with no mods. I set same options, removed battery stats, set auto sync to off... dunno what is happening but i dont have more time to experiment with it. Just wanted to get back to stock.

Hi, i dont suppose anyones got psx4droid working with this rom, it just resets the phone every time it loads a rom.. ? Thanks..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
thats because psx4droid is a buggy app to begin with. i can hardly get it to work on CM7.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
one thing i would love to be implemented would be 3.0 lockscreen, and thats it. im excited when the official gingerbread for the Z finally releases. i like to run gingerbread ports but they always seem to buggy in someway or another. Virtuous has been my #1 rom, and a long time daily driver since i rooted my G2 right when it came out. the only reason i havent been running it lately is because ive got permanent gingerbread fever. ha. i cant wait for the gingerbread update!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
unfortunately, impossible... well, maybe not completely, but next to... not worth the effort in my opinion... as without the framework...etc... all you get is the ring... you don't get the "widgets"... see some of the 2.1/3.0 hybrid roms, they have the ring, but no widgets... which makes it pointless IMO...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Once Htc updates Disire Z to 2.3
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bulgaro:
Virtuous Fusion 1.6 for the HTC Glacier has the lock screen widgets working, and not just the ring. Looks pretty good.It come with six lock screen widgets from htc.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] creepinm3:
This rom is amazing with the pershoot kernel. Camera still works. Only thing that slightly irritates me is that HSPA+ isnt active. But on initial start up and two or three hours on the rom I dropped down to strictly 3G. But i did get a message from T-mobile saying my data got throttled. Could that be why?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainemac:
Smooth Sense

Is there a way to remove the battery percentage mod and add the quick settings and lock screen from sense 3.0? I know someone post a fix for the battery thing but that didn't work. I just got boot loops.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Athrun88:
I THINK adding the power control mod from ROM Manager will do that for you. I don't remember exactly though; give it a try! It takes away your recently used apps from the pulldown menu however, so if you use that, then this mod will take that away.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainemac:
Good but not great

I love stability of this rom but I have a couple of really annoying bugs. First off the screen doesn't turn on sometimes when I try to unlock it. The buttons light up but not the screen. I think it may be related to TP wake because every other rom I've tried doesn't have that and this has never happened. Next up my battery life is awful. I'm using the reccomended radio which is the .17 and the advanced kernel with my screen off profile set to 200min and 500max and its still bad. My battery use says that my screen takes up basically all the battery as well. thirdly I don't care for the battery percentage in the status bar, which isn't a bug just a preferrence.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sensimila:
Before I flash this interesting rom, I want to know whether my radio is compatible with it.

Android Version: 2.3.3

Mod Version: CM 7.0.3-Vision

My radio version: 12.28h.60.140fU_26.06.02.27_M

-Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kneedraggin101:
im in the same boat as this guy..... battery life sucks, not even a full day out of it... and the screen stays dark, buttons lit up, to the point where i have to remove the battery and reset the phone to make it work....

any solutions for this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Beagan:
how do u get the left button on the home screen back to customise? i dont like the way it is when the rom is installed firstly
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainemac:
There is a mod for it in rom manager.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainemac:
Glad im not the only one.... cant wait for 1.0.3!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jeahbaby:
will there be a chance of a mod that brings back the "search everywhere" button?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] creepinm3:
There is going to be a 1.0.3? It looks like all intentions are on other roms
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] more.then.fiction:
I'm think that since the next release will have a new base we're probably looking at 2.0
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
I've already said this ROM and G-Lite remain my priorities. There hasn't been an update because there's been no good reason for one. I've never believed in releasing updates for the sake of it. The official Gingerbread version of Sense for the DZ/G2 should be released any day now. That's what we're waiting on. We already have a build based on the test release available on IRC.

So, to avoid any such questions in the future:

This ROM remains in active development and will remain as so the foreseeable future.

Our goal is to provide a reliable stock ROM, not to release bleeding edge updates on a weekly basis. If constant updates are what you seek, then there are many other options out there. We'll be here focusing on making sure everything works, with updates only when it makes sense, rather than for the purpose of "proving" the project is alive (it absolutely is).

Any insight on the Netflix problem? I used Titanium to pull the apk from my phone and install it on my Archos 70 and it works there... I wish we knew why it doesn't work on Virtuous!

Mhhh i have one problem...

Superuser is crashed.

I made a full wipe and Factoryreset and still can't start superuser.

Everytime the App crashes.

When i start root explorer the message appear that superuser crashed ;(

Anynone an idea?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Use Larry's superwip and Reflash the rom and dont update in from the market( Well at least I dont for this ROM).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] karlonicolas:
this happened to me also. i don't know why or how, but all of a sudden all the programs using superuser crashed.

I flashed SuperWipe+, reinstalled this rom, and im back.

I have an issue with the wakeup brightness. It's not just this rom but every froyo sense rom i've tried. Whenever i wakeup the phone the blacklight comes up, dims a little and then it adjust itself to the environment.

It does not occur with Gingerbread based sense and nosense roms.

The roms where this accurs:

RMK40's entire lineup (stock and custom)

Modaco's Sense 1.72 based rom.

I've made a video of this issue.

Is there someone who can help me with this??

I've searched everywhere (at least google and XDA) but i haven't found a answer.

Hey guys,

Is Wifi Calling the same as UMA?

I'm in the UK and I was regularly using UMA on my Blackberry previously. However, on switching to the HTC DZ and Virtuous I haven't come across an option anywhere on the phone relating to UMA. Is it possible?

Do I need to install Wifi Calling in order for UMA to work?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Unfortunately it's not the same as UMA, though I wish it were. Wifi calling is specific to T-Mobile USA at the moment and does not have the features of UMA, such as being able to transition between wifi and mobile mid-call.

How do I make a senseless build out of this one? and How do I restore the right key to "personalize"?

I tried taking out laputa from system folder and flashed it, didnt work. What exactly do I have to delete aside from the widgets?

GPS never worked for me on this rom :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
seems like a lot of questions, but ill try to answer each as well as i can:

1. to restore the personalize key, there is a mod in rom manager downloads sectionthat does just that

2. to make a senseless build, youll need to remove rosie, the launcher, all the widgets, and a whole lot more.

3. to remove just the locations app and widgets, youll need to remove all three laputa apks from the /system/app folder
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kingofthebraves:
I already took out anything with Laputa and Rosie out of the system app folder. I've looked everywhere, but there isn't really a Rosie.apk. There was only a longer word with Rosie on it. I used to take out sense for my old Desire and it was always easy, I just don't know what I missed now.

I also tried putting a launcher pro .apk on the system file but that didn't seem to work.

Device boots and once I skip everything I am stuck on the screen "Loading..It may take several minutes to complete please wait." With sense on the background. Everything else works like notification bar and camera, this must be semething launcher related?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] more.then.fiction:
You could just install a new launcher from the Market and set it as default. When Rosie isn't being used as the default, HTC sense is not active meaning you can't use the widgets or functions etc.

Hi, I just flashed this awesome ROM but now my 3G network is not working, I tried manually adding APN setting for my network but still it doesn't work. Also, since I moved from a Galaxy S to Desire Z, I noticed that in Galaxy S, right beside the APN profile is a checkbox to check but Desire Z doesn't have, is this normal?

EDIT: I fixed it myself, turned out I typed "Internet" for APN type instead of "default"... stupid me
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kennytung:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
Hi all, hi rmk40, i come back here for a known trouble, which i would really love to solve: sudden signal loss (while calling).

I really need to understand what happenned. It may be related to Virtuous, but not sure, i prefer to ask here for a start.

While calling, no matter where, no matter when, no matter how fast i move, whatever color is my t-shirt, it would always drop signal and hang the call, after a random time. Can be after 10 sec, or after 3 min. After a sudden hang, i must wait about 1 min before i can actually do a call again.

It also happens with data connections (GPRS, Edge, 3G, 3G+).

It happens right after i changed my radio the first time. But since then, i tried about 5 different radios, many times the 26.04.02.17. I always matched the RIL, and also sometimes wiped the EFS partitions (13 and 14).

No matter what i do, the sudden drops won't go, even won't get better or worse; i just can't change anything. I tried removing all background apps, disabling CPUTuner, all kind of cache clearance. So, to me it appears that it's either a hardware problem (but i don't believe it) or a system one. I would like to know if there's anything else i could try. And in any case, could there be a log somewhere that show the reasons of call drop or something?

Please help, i'm really near to throwing my DZ onto a wall sometimes, i often got important pro calls and look stupid calling back 5 times.

Thank you for reading ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
buddy how about you try restoring the stock rooted rom with stock radio.... if you still get this issue than its hardware problem :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ninj:
I was hoping nobody would answer that to me :) I know i should try that. I was a bit lazy about reinstalling and recustomizing everything. But i will consider it seriously if there's no other option. I was thinking rmk would have an idea about that ;)

Powerbutton wake problem

Im experiencing a bug which is intermittent (enough for me to notice). Sometimes when I press the power button to wake my device, it only lights the softkeys and the screen does not wake. So if I continuously press the power button the screen turns on quickly then shuts off, so I have to furiously press the power button until I get the screen to fully wake and then im good to go.

It is the same with the trackpad, sometimes it wakes it, sometimes it doesnt. I am using an HTC G2 from T-Mobile.

Virtuous v1.0.2(vision)

kernel: 2.6.32.21-virtuous-vision-advanced-v2.2.0rmk@droid#7

build# 1.85.73.2 CL331649 release-keys

Honestly, I don't think this problem was happening before I flashed the advanced kernel, could it be the kernel? Was I suppose to do a full wipe after flashing the kernel over current ROM?

Reduce your overclock. When I ran Virtuous, I had my OC set to 1Ghz and very rarely had wake issues
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stratspider230:
This rom stopped displaying 3G+ for me and 3G only, and is extremely slow when it decides to want to send data. Any options? Radio? Reflash?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gu3r0:
Use a screen off profile in setcpu of under 800mhz... It wakes fine that way. I would leave the overclock for screen on. It was in the thread earlier that I had stumbled upon.

Does anyone have the HTC wallpapers from this ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cruz007:
Hey dude,install setcpu app,and set low frequency to 449mhz,and max 1110-1200mhz,and problem is gone...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CTCNetwork:
Hi,

If you have SetCPU installed and have created a few profiles - including one for "Screen off" - you will likely set a low frequency set. Saves battery.

But you will still get that phenomenon of the screen/phone not waking correctly.

Whether you have selected the frequency one step above minimum and another one step or two steps up from that.

It will even happen if you are connected to power and are running full clock.

Des. . . ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] andersonjacob54:
Does anyone know how I can extract the default HTC wallpapers (static, not live)? I've been searching through the rosie and launcher apk, but I can't seem to find it. Any help (or the wallpapers themselves) would be appreciated. Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lord Mort:
I don't know if this is applicable to your problem, but maybe you could try the auto-RiL matcher

Only thing I'm not shure about is wheter or not it still works for Unity-ROMs

Hi everyone,

Maybe I'mthe only one not able to solve this, but:

In either case I'm being set back to the factory default :(

Are you using the stock messaging app? I know you can change the setting in GoSMS, Handcent and ChompSMS so you can hit enter to send.

Market applications suck. They are both the same, and seem very "iPhone" like. Just my two cents.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Athrun88:
Not sure if there is a setting in the stock version. I use GoSMS because it does have that function and there is a neat backup function built into it that restores to itself and the stock app. Might have to look into a mod if you want the enter-to-send function back.

update

it might be a retarded question, I tried searching trough this thread, but could not find anything about future updates to this lovely rom.

Will there be a froyo upgrade her ? 1.0.3 ?

or will there be a upgrade to gingerbread ?

Tried out unity and fusion, but they were unstable and laggy for daily use.

My opinion = This is for now the best ROM for the Desire Z/Vision/G2.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
I agree - This is my daily driver too. I think the Gingerbread update will come when (if?) HTC decides to release an official Gingerbread update for DZ.

If I read rmk40's tweets correctly, he hinted at updating this rom too, regardless of when/if an official Gingerbread rom comes our way. As I understand it, many of the enhancements done in Fusion can be incorporated here too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
lol, he didnt hint at it, he said straight out that this rom WILL be updated, but only when htc decides to release GB for the desire z officially. He has an alpha build based on the leaked GB rom, but it wont be complete till he has a final rom to work with.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 0.0:
here's some good news. on his twitter, he stated that if there is no official GB sense ROM, he will update this one, by this weekend :D
