ok i just upgraded via from computer to phone what i did in order.

note my mms and my swype works so far 3G still showing no H, sync seems to be working and email showed right up on boot.

What i did,

Download from pc, open usb storage and placed vision0.07 in clockwork directory

from sdcard should be

sdcard/clockworkmod/files.virtuousrom.com/vision

place new upgrade there. close out from usb storage and go into clockwork.

check fo ROM Updates (Backup dont clear and wipe)

after update runs will send you back to main screen.

if you previously had swype on easy way i did mines was this

connect phone to pc (Just connect dont set anything from phone youll be connecting via adb)

Commands

Cd c:\

cd androidsdk

cd tools\

adb remount

it should remount (dont know why but this enables you to place items in the system/lib folder of the phone as its read only)

i have root manager (wasnt hard to find free so find it via google)

>i have both swype and the cor file and placed them on the root of sd<

copy libswypecore.co to system/lib it should drop right in.

if you previously had swype on 0.6.1 uninstall and reinstall. go to setting and select the swype option and then go into messages and longhold the text insert it should ask for input method select swype. reboot and swype should be working.

for the mms i had issues on the previous 0.6.1 but this version allowed me to send. hopefully it doesnt crap out so far roms ok besides my H i do miss seeing that lol.

Upgraded on my morning commute, lol.

Used ROM Manager to download the new v0.7.0 install, did NOT wipe, but chose to backup current ROM.

ClockworkMod did its thing in about 20-25 minutes, the phone loaded up and looks like everything's intact.

Great job, team.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Soaa-:
Yo, any chance for the git repo for the kernel? I'd like to know what changes are necessary to fix the Sense stuff.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johnsonrod27:
Anyway u can tell me how u did this..im semi new.. i have rom manager and clockwork mod..do i just go into rom manager and click check for rom update? Sorry im still learning
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ShanksG1:
yes its pretty straight forward simple when its finished downloading ALWAYS MAKE BACKUP youll thank youself later
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johnsonrod27:
Backup through rom manager? I do like 2 a day so I'm good there.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mykeldrip:
I'm loving update!! The only issue is phone wake I press track pad the menu buttons light up but screen does not!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wheeliest:
restart your phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
If you don't have ROM Manager Premium, you can't use the Update feature.

Go through ROM Manager, choose 'Download ROM', choose 'Virtuous', then choose 'Virtuous Full ROM 0.7.0'

It'll download (mine took a while, even over WiFi), and then pop up a small box with two checkboxes - 'Wipe' and 'Backup'. I just checked the 'Backup Current ROM' option (did NOT check the 'Wipe' box) and clicked 'OK'.

Your phone will boot into ClockworkMod (the green text on black screen) and create a nandroid backup (this process takes ~15-20 minutes depending on what apps you have and such). Once it's backed up, it unzips and installs the ROM, then automatically reboots.

That's it, you're done.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bmaing2:
Didnt wipe data since update 6.1 its runng really nice i didnt have any issues with 6.1 what does 7.0 have that the other didn't? It all seems the same... i will say i noticed that when i restart my phone my oc at 1497 stays i dont need to push every time so thats a plus can i try a higher oc with this 7.0?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gjm777:
rmk40 you stud!

Thanks for the update, I will give it a shot here in a day or so. I just got everything where I like it too!

Great work btw this rom is fantastic.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mykeldrip:
Thanks restart seems to fix it up! Now the only BIG issue I am having mms pics. I can send and they are fine! But when I receive they are really really small and the quality is still horrible! Does anyone have a fix for this at all?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] wheeliest:
long press the msg, save it, then view it with gallery..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johnsonrod27:
When i click check for update i get a popup message saying there is no update...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eViL D::
I recommend a full wipe before flashing. If you still have mms sending issues, check your apn settings. It's nearly impossible to account for every apn in the world, but we used the best we could. Read the thread, some one has posted a backup from apn backup and restore. You could always try that.

Find it hard all you want, the phone would easily go a day without dieing. Now even with the phone simply just sitting with nothing happening the battery just drops. I actually have tried turning off data, auto-sync on these newer versions to extend battery life but it barely helps. 0.8.5 would consistently get more battery life compared to now, this is a fact for myself and what you THINK is irrelevant.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stealth1985:
I did nothing different, I went about my daily use of the phone. I do not change my useage much and settings have stayed consistent throughout the life of the phone except when I get these ROMS with crappy battery life. Then I have to start turning stuff off to extend the crap life.

The stock ROM was pretty bad for battery life, only 0.8.5 was good for battery life for me. Every other one has had NO comparison.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Which radio are you running? Do you have Facebook for HTC Sense configured?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bratboo:
Hi!,

Lower right dock doesn't work on my girlfriends DZ. I did a full wipe and also I did flash the said kernel v2.2.1. I'm not sure if it has to do with it but battery life seems to drain faster than the stock rom. I only set the cpu to 998 max on demand.

Thanks!

I installed virtuous 1.0.1 because people say there is no bugs. Stability is the first thing for me. But today I noticed very nasty bug. When I open something (no matter what), then return to home screen it loading as when smartphone starts and i see only "Loading...", some times it starts with the white screen with "htc", sometimes only "Loading".

I know that it is happens sometimes, but it was only once, and then it gone. Here I have issue that it happens after EVERY screen I open and EVERY time, even just when I open "applications"

I use "non touched" kernel.

I rebooted my phone, and it is gone. But I want rmk40 to know about this and have a look why it is happens
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] havocnl:
This also happens to me often... Sense launcher has to reload for some reason.

I do not have any heavy mem eating apps open at that time, nor do i use an mem/process cleaner / optimizer / manager tool something. Just stock android on that part.

I do use the stock sense launcher (without the launchkey mod).

I have had this problem with al the 1.0.x releases (incl beta's) now, and have used all kernel configurations (stock, standard, advanced) but this does not fix anything?

Would a logcat of this help you? maybe to detect if sense launcher is crashing or not?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rumbi:
Just a quick question: Should i use the Android App for FB or Friend Stream ? Or both ? What do you think is best?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] havocnl:
Friendstream still uses Facebook for Sense so don't use that. The Facebook for Sense app is evil! It will suck your battery dry!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mr. Sakkaro:
Does anyone has a file to revive the landscape mode on sense when keyboard is not out? I used to like that feature on old .7.x versions... but I can't find it anymore... Thank you :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blunted09:
that would be amazing! Iv been trying to figure that out as well!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
I think the only thing I would want from that isensation rom is the screen to screen animations. Those are pretty cool. And that's the only thing that's noticeably different. And the text is a little smaller, and the widgets in the notification bar. Which are pretty cool though. Virtuous still rains surpreme though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
also, how can I get htc hub to determine my location?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Armani G:
hey so whats the deal with Virtuous Buddy...

Is there any update up that is it going to work soon...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Frank_071:
Same problem here with standard 1.0.1 (so including launchkey) and stock kernel. It happens most after leaving the Market, but found it happening on other occasions as well. As with havocnl: if you need any additional info, please instruct me/us.

Re/F
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] havocnl:
good to know i am not the only one having this issue
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Frank_071:
3 and counting ;-) A short search on internet showed others are experiencing this as well, not all using virtuous rom.

On another subject: the problem where media is missing from the gallery is also experienced by non-virtuous users. While searching for this I found an app that kicks the android media scanner ("Rescan Media" (non root version), freely available in the market). That will bring back all media files that are missing. So (still) no idea why it is happening, but this is a fairly simple workaround.

Re/F
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
If you're rooted why would you choose the non-rooted version of Rescan Media?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Frank_071:
Because there is no need for root privileges for why I am using this tool. The root-version can be used to completely disable the android media scanner on boot. It apparently speeds up booting for 20-30s. Well... I hardly ever boot ;-)

Apart from that and just for clarityn (to less experienced users): having a rooted phone means that one has the ability to run apps (and commands) using root user privileges. One should be careful as to using those privileges: if it isn't necessary to use, then don't. An application that uses the elevated rights can do Bad Things to you phone.

Since this is completely off-topic, let's return to the Virtuous subject.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dwny:
1st off...thanks for the ROM

I ran 1.0 and then 1.0.1 ... All has been good for me.

I have a TMo G2 w/stock Radio

Advanced Kernal OC'd @ 1305 with some profiles.

Software...nothing crazy, just some games, music, movies & several email accts (one being an exchange acct).

Native launcher and Sense widgets.

I have no problems. I go all day on a full charge. Right now, I'm listening to music & have wifi router running.....writing this on my TAB from my phone's wifi, again no issues.

The write up on this ROM's stability made me want to root my device and flash because I was missing Sense.

Alot of you guys are having problem because you're not wiping before you flash or just running apps that don't play nicely.

Every once in a while, my device may hiccup but I haven't met a device that didn't!

This ROM is as stable as they come! If you want a Sense ROM....this is it!

This ROM makes me feel like I bought a new phone.....

Thanks again for the ROM & happy flashing peoples......

TMo US G2

Virtuous Sense v1.0.1

Advanced Virtuous Kernel v2.1.2 OC'd @ 1305

Whats the best radio to get good battery life. I am using the stock radio that comes with virtuous 1.0.1 and on the T-mobile network. Just wondering if there is a better one that people are using.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrEzzzkiel:
No 3G, mobile network will not turn on:

Hi!

1st off, I'd like to thank the devs for their amazing work and persistence! :)

I'm having problems after flashing this ROM... I can't connect to any 3g-network and I can't turn it on... It just keeps on searching... I know there's 3g available where I'm at...

Anyone else experienced this?

Thx!

Edit: Just to make things clear: I've tried reflashing Virtuous, which didn't help... Then I flashed my recovery, and then the 3G worked again... Now I'm trying to reflash Virtuous to see if that helps...

I'm using the 26.04.02.17 Radio.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bongd:
That could be a one-off challenge, something with Flash or the browser you're using. Flash occasionally slows down for me. This is one of the rare instances where I do actually use a task killer or restart my phone. It's nothing that I'd complain about that. Flash is pretty unpolished.

.17 and .26 have been recommended by rmk40 many times. I used to use .26 and had great battery life and all right radio. I'm using .17 now and the radio is pretty good, no complains... battery life may be a bit shorter than in the past, but I haven't wiped and started fresh for a while so it could just be that my phone is getting cluttered.

I'd say though, they're pretty comparable and one would have to do some extensive testing to make a proper determination. There are a few variables but you probably can't go wrong with either. Try one and see if it works, if there's a discernible difference then consider trying the other. Hope it works out on the first shot though :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
I'm itching for another update :).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
There's really nothing pending at the moment. As soon as there are some new RUUs to look at, we will. Also, the next release will likely require clockwork 3.x, so that we can move to ext4.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrEzzzkiel:
Now I've tried with .27 radio and Virtuous 1.0.0 and flashing 1.0.1 twice and wiping every time... Still no luck... Anyone have an idea what the problem could be? I've checked the APN twice and inserted them manually... I just don't understand...

I'm having the same issue. I've uder this ROM in the past but I recently switched to CM7 to see what all the hype was about. Today I switched back with a clean install of Virtuous 1.0.1 and can not get by 3G connection to work.

I have flashed a few different radios, including the original one from my G2 that I backup up months ago and nothing seems to work. I restored my phone to CM7 and things are working just fine, but I want Sense back.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
Read the OP and you'll find all your answers to wake issues with kernels. That subject as been beaten down plenty times. I know that I need to try and flash the new radio, but currently my computer is a POS. I've had battery percentage drop by 5 percent in about 20 mintues. Why is that? I did notice that when I didn't have htc sense facebook installed I had less battery usage.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dekaru01:
So there are no more bugs to squash? Also, what about Virtuous Buddy?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dekaru01:
The launcher restarts a lot for me too. The funny thing is that it did that way less in 1.0.0 than it does now in 1.0.1, and I thought that the main difference between the two was that 1.0.1 has a launcher that redraws less. Whereas with 1.0.0 I've only ever seen it happen 3 or 4 times, in 1.0.1 it does it every single time I download or update an app, after returning to the launcher from the Market. If I don't install or update any app though, the launcher doesn't restart. Is that weird or what?

Anyway, other than that, this is a great ROM and I couldn't be more thankful for it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] denich:
How that!!! Professionals explain me pls HOW facebook can drain the battery? But it is true Facebook for Sence drains the battery very fast
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] havocnl:
The app has a bad sync profile or something (search the thread) which causes a loop in the program. Because of this the CPU is stressed a lot and eats the battery.

This is all true, search the thread. It has been discussed a number of times.

Advice for good batterylife:

- Don't use Facebook for Sense

- Use the 12.28e.60.140fP_26.04.02.17_M2 radio
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kara mustafa:
That is true, i make a clean install and i didnt configure facebook sense account and twitter sesne account and now my battery life is now better, much better.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrEzzzkiel:
This just plain and simple sucks... This is the best ROM out there, and off course I can't get it to work... I've tried just about every thing there is to try... Now I'm using an old radio from 1.34 to see if maybe that would help... It didn't... :sad:

So maybe I should try 0.9.5 to see if that works?

Help! Contacts are multiplying

I'm using 1.0.1 and my Google contacts keep spontaneously multiplying! My ~275 contacts have become almost 10,000 contacts in a matter of hours. Somehow there is a sync problem here. I need advice and how to troubleshoot this -- Is it a general Google/Android problem or a Sense problem or specific to VirtuousROM (Please no!). Since Sense offers me to 'link' contacts it detects, I'm not sure if that is causing my multiplication problems.

So far I've done these steps:

1) Tried to delete all phone contacts (used an app from the Market) and allow re-sync from Gmail contacts.

==>[results in very slow sync as 1000's of contacts are returned to phone].

2) Tried to use Gmail function to detect and merge contacts (on my desktop PC). Export/Save 'clean' batch of Gmail contacts to various formats offered by Gmail for archive. Reboot phone. Wait for sync.

==>[appears that Phone contacts are preferred over Gmail contacts during sync. The 'cleaned' contacts list was not pushed to my phone, but extra phone contacts did show up back in my Gmail contacts list.]

3) delete all phone contacts and shut down phone. Detect & Merge Gmail contacts. Reboot phone. Wait for sync.

==>[This worked for a day. At first, my correct set of contacts was in both locations. Then suddenly Sense offered to 'link' 500 contacts. WTF? When I did those links, I started to see first 500, then 1000, 2000, 4000 and within a matter of hours close to 10,000 contacts in my Gmail account again].

4) Clean re-install of Virtuous using ROM Manager, including full wipe of data & cache. Shut down phone. Manually delete 1000's of &^%$# contacts in Gmail (did not use detect and merge feature). Re-boot phone. Re-set my Google account credentials in the phone, and wait for synchronization.

===>[This worked for two days. Just now, Sense has kindly offered to link 27 contacts it has 'discovered' in my account. AAAaaarrrrrrghghhhh! It's starting again!] :eek:

Any ideas? I suspect this is a problem with the Sense ability to 'link' contacts, but it could also be a general Android/Gmail Contacts problem. I see much talk of this in iPhone discussions when I google the problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BrutalHoe:
I quick question, did u by any chance loged into th fb app n set it to sync all? Cuz if u did it will sync all ur fb contacts as.

Also check the in Contacts, hit menue/view n check the display contacts settings, try using just gmail contacts and see if that helps.

Also tryo to flash different rom w full wipe n see if it happens again n then try to switch to V ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BrutalHoe:
Yeah ik that but it wont let u edit the contacts once it synced them from fb

For example i have a few friends who have old phone number on fb so app syncs those numbers to my phone n it wont let me add number or edit cotacts oe delete
