please try using cputuner or overclock widget instead of setCPU and report back... evil has stated a few times that he thinks setCPU is problematic... I personally have been using cputuner and haven't had any wake issues, since I flashed .9 w/pershoot 1.3

did you mount system as rw before pushing? not making an assumption, just asking... it's easy to forget a step when you're already frustrated...

I'm trying it know. Did your optical pad lock and unlock your phone thats what I"m having a problem on. And I'm not getting an H on signal.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phawkes:
Your area might not be covered for HSPA, you might have seen it in the past because the stock rom always shows H for 3G/HSPA/HSPA+. I can confirm that the HSPA+ speeds work and are there. I'll post screen shots if needed.

MMS issues.

This is for future reference.

When you have a rom like stock and or any other that mms works, use a app like Apn backup & restore to save that information. When you install and rom and complain mms is not work delete current setting and install the saved setting that work. Save a lot of typing.

Man I really like a lot of things about the sense ui but there were just a few features that I missed including the special keys on the keypad and the google gallery that linked to my picasa page. I really don't want to have to download all my pics again to flikr. Is there any way at all to include these features in a sense rom? Cause otherwise it's REALLY cool. Great work by the way.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phawkes:
You can grab the 3D gallery.apk online. Its the stock rom's gallery ported over. I currently have both sense and stock gallery on my phone. And do your function keys not work? I was actually gonna post that my 3rd key keeps reseting its assigned app but for the most part the others work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gjm777:
Im not sure about the programmed keys, but my www/com button does not work. That could be expected though, I wonder if there is a way to get it to work though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Phawkes:
Yeah thats to be expect because the desire z doesnt have that button. I believe in place of that it has a tab button.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chewy106:
Oddly it works when you first flash the ROM and go through setup, but then after it stopped working.

Hmm. I was unaware of that. Hopefully we'll get the Desire Z kernel source from HTC like they're supposed to do.

I'm only getting the GPS to seem to work correctly enabling both GPS and Wireless network locations. Just GPS doesn't seem to locate current location for the weather widget, camera, locations, the NHL app, etc. Am I missing a setting somewhere? I hate enabling the wireless option too, it kills the battery and uploads all sorts of crap to Google.

Reset to default worked here.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] phantomdroid:
no, gonna try now
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KronicAnarchy:
Well, I'm not sure about the function keys actually, I meant the www/.com key. I know it's kind of minor but it's also kinda nice, especially having gotten used to them being there. I saw a thread on remapping the keyboard but I don't know if that can be used to re-implement the www/.com I may have to look into that further, as far as the 3d gallery.apk anyone have a link, so I can be lazy or are y'all gonna make me use the search button. :rolleyes:

Update

Everything is working great. I got my mms to work fine, only small pictures but that's something to do with t mobile i think, GPS works fine, took of bacon bits, would disable my blue-tooth. The only thing is if i turn off or restart my phone, i have a hard time getting signal, takes a while to lock into the signal. other then that, great ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EuroSpeed:
This ROM is running flawless now. Its great.

What I did to fix my mms problem was restore my stock backup then I used APN backup & restore to backup my APN settings. Then I installed Virtuous again and restored the APN settings and everything works now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Crusher16:
Good to hear. now I have something to do when I get home.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
I'm not sure what that is, but as long as you mount /system as rw before pushing, you should be fine...

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] carlsbad0331:
I have been a CM supporter for a long time. This is the first ROM I have tried other than CM. Very pleased with the build quality and support.

Donation inbound.

But I do have what I feel to be a very noob question... Occasionally I get an icon in my status bar next to the signal indicator that is "En" what exactly does this mean? I cant find reference anywhere and I had never seen it before.

Thanks in advance, and keep up the great work.

I have always gone the overclock route, and dont even feel its necessary with this ROM. Im bone stock with your ROM and loving it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Herrera91:
Oh, that just means that the language is set to English when typing. I usually get the icon only when I'm using the keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fajarep:
Only got En icon when using physical keyboard. En means english keyboard
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
The way to get rid of it is deleting the extra keyboards in /system/usr I think.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] carlsbad0331:
Thanks guys... that makes perfect sense. I had not made the connection between typing and the icon.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mo94:
Which files do I need to push to the sdcard in order to flash this ROM? I'm just going to execute the command

adb push <whateverfiles> /sdcard/

But I don't know which ones to push
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Herrera91:
Just the .zip file that's downloadable on the first post...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mo94:
I can't adb push a ZIP file, can I?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Herrera91:
Never really tried myself, just the usual copy-and-paste method...more simpler...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ShimaMiku:
Would that really get rid of the symbol though?

Also, two more questions. Would there be any reason to have Wifi calling with AT&T service (I know it is a T-Mobile option, I just didn't know if this has been modded somehow to work anyway), otherwise I'll just uninstall.

Lastly, I like the optical trackpad wake, but just for future reference, is there a way to shut that off down the road.

Thanks for the awesome rom!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Broman400:
I got AT&T too, it doesn't work. Btw I saw that youre in Connecticut and was wondering what radio you are using
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ShimaMiku:
Well I just updated to this rom after using the stock EU 1.34 version (after backing it up of course) to test it out, so I'm using what was built into this, the 26.03.02.36_M version. I did flash the 1.4 overclock kernel though, and my own bootscreen, the classic Nexus One screen (at 20 fps, which looks nice, not too fast or slow), and my own custom sound (transformers "transform" sound). I can share it if you would like.

BTW i dont find any differences in folder /system/usr in MODACO, OFF and Virtuos ROM... It means that '.com' assigned in other place somewhere . May be i have done mistake while seeking diffs , may be....

Surely this is a difficult question for the developers of the firmware?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] story:
I downloaded & flashed the advance kernel from here

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crimsdings:
I'am also using this rom for a few days, started with the standard kernel - no problem no bug what so ever, switched to the advanced kernel with setcpu up to 1.5ghz and smartass - no problem what so ever, everything works!

safe to use with your htc desire z in austria ;p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] denich:
Dont work again :( A wuestion to Devil and RMK: can you just return the keyboard from 0.8.1? Or somehow fix this bug?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SFVDan:
Switched from the Advanced kernel to the Standard kernel and it's far superior in overall functionality, even though my Quadrant scores are lower. Using the standard kernel was good advice.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] havocnl:
What do you mean by superior in overall functionality?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SFVDan:
While the clock scores are lower, the screen wakes quickly and the animations from screen to screen are far smoother than with the advanced kernel overclocked to 1.2 (if memory serves. Might have been 1.1) I find that the overall experience flows nicely no matter what I'm doing with it. From my perspective, I don't seem to have to wait for the phone to catch up with me with this configuration.

Hope that answers the question.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mo94:
Sorry but I really don't see what's good about this ROM... I love the idea of a faster HTC Sense but that simply isn't what this is, this was just as slow. If not worse. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I didn't change any settings... CPU set to 805 mHz.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pl4cid:
Also have the Desire Z with 0.9 and Pershoot 1.3 @ 1.2Ghz with SetCPU. Quadrant gives me 1958 @1.2Ghz, is this a good value? Sense is really fast :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
1. the only way your CPU could be set to 805MHz with this ROM is if you installed the Advanced kernel and set it that way. The standard (included) kernel is overclocked to 906MHz out of the box. Or if you were using an older version of the ROM itself.

2. I think this ROM is awesome because I like the improvements that Sense makes to the camera app, music app, and contacts applications. I use LauncherPro for my launcher, so I don't have to hassle with the limited mess that is the Sense launcher. What parts of Sense do you find slow?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mikef1182:
Great ROM! Have it running on my G2 and love it! Awesome work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] burtcom:
Not a bug -- its just using the default keymap.

-- I finally got around to installing my custom keymaps (which change the smart keys to brackets, among other things) and it works just fine.

Take a look at this thread, which may help explain how the keymaps files work, etc.

The youtube-app messes up the whole system, if you return from fullscreen-playback. Can anyone confirm that?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Eclypz:
Known issue. Revert to an older YouTube version or rotate back to portrait before pressing back.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Razorless:
Tried Pershoot 1.3 with 0.9, but it is actually slower than the advanced kernel...

Its true whats been said earlier that the standard kernel is (right now) the best choice. Even though having a clock rate <1Ghz its smoother than the advanced kernel. Also, waking the phone by sliding out the keyboard takes about 5 sec. with advanced kernel, gonna try flashing standard again...

Another thing I noticed is that my compass is always a bit off to the west...Anyone else noticed this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Evil or RMK said a while back that the kernels based off of HTC's kernels would be faster because they are made for sense and they provide needed improvements to things in the system. 0.9.0 = Only use default 0.9.0 kernel, or advanced 0.9.0 kernel. Default kernel for me is fast and perfect, advanced kernel gives me wake locks, because of SetCPU aparently.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ellises:
Ever since updating to the new 0.9.0 version I am having problems, so I'm going back to 0.8.1.

The two issues I was having with 0.9.0 are random reboots and the power button not functioning correct (press to turn off, screen would turn off, buttons would not and then the screen would come back on) did this half the time, and for turning on too. such a shame, such an odd bug.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Razorless:
Sounds like a wipe before and after flashing could solve this.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] more2come:
Could you please tell me where to get the older, stable app?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
From the changelog in the first post:

Reverted YouTube to version 1.6.21 and moved it to /system/app for now. Upgrading

to the newer version is NOT recommended as it is not stable. It is in system to allow

you to upgrade if you insist and revert easily by removing the update.

If you upgraded during setup, go to market, find the youtube application, and you should see an option to 'Uninstall Upgrades'. Click that to revert.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WorldIRC:
Sounds about right.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] more2come:
Thanks, didn't see that in the changelog...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
Np - while I understand that the devs have the changelog posted somewhere else to make it easier for them to maintain, it woudln't be a bad idea for them to bold/highlight/otherwise emphasize the link in the OP, so it's easier to find, and thus more likely to be read.

has anyone had any issues with the wi-fi hotspot app in Virtuous? i tried testing it out today with my netbook, and while i'm able to connect to the Desire Z's hotspot, i can't browse any websites or even ping any domain names. my data plan on Bell includes Tethering by default, so i assume they're allowing tethered data, and the netbook is able to use my home wifi network without issue. it seems like there's some DNS issues on the Z, though i'm not sure what they are

virtuous-kernel_vision_advanced-v1.0.9.zip

I took a look into http://files.virtuousrom.com/vision/kernels/experimental/ and found virtuous-kernel_vision_advanced-v1.0.9.zip.

I flashed it some 3 hours ago and it works great so far, it even runs with the new youtube.

I am now running 0.9.0 with virtuous-kernel_vision_advanced-v1.0.9, OC 1.4GhZ, CPU Tuner with screen off profile set to 369-998 MhZ and powersave governor. No black screen on wake up, not a single one so far. Great!

I will stick to this setup for some days and report back here.

Just to report my previous setup, I was running 0.9.0 with pershoot virtuous kernel 1.2, OC 1.5GhZ and setCPU before. Was running good, youtube worked and I only had one single sudden reboot in many days and very rarely the black screen on wake up. After switching to CPU Tuner, black screen on wake up was completely gone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tbalden:
good, im on that too, gonna change to cputuner i think, had very few wake prob with setCPU on the long run, but i hate it, so gonna fire up cputuner.. btw powersave mode isnt about always sticking to min freq? afaik it is. so setting 369-369 is the same, isnt it.

EDIT: i'm using 369-369 for screenoff now, so far now wake issue with that on cpuTuner, BUT with 245-245 i had one wake-freeze.

first off, i wanna say thank you for all your hard work on this rom, this is great. i had a mytouch 4g before the g2 and am so much happier with the g2, but wasnt happy with vanilla android. i loved the tweaks on sense, but it was kinda laggy, his rom gave me the best of both worlds. got the phone i liked, with the sense and the tweaks. thank you. is there any way to make the home screen go into landcape mode without opening the keyboard or getting a new launcher? and is there anyway to maybe remap the personalize button on the sense launcher? and lastly, can the lock screen be changed to the vanilla lockscreen?

Not w/o breaking things, and badly. But, it can be done. We won't do it though, so you'll have to search and most likely try yourself.

And, it still has music controls and phone call controls?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] catachresistant:
Calls trigger a HTC screen not unlike the HTC lockscreen. Functionally the same as a stock Sense device.

I thought music controls on the vanilla lockscreen was a Cyanogenmod hack?

It may be less functional than the HTC lockscreen in that regard but that doesn't mean it's broken.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eViL D::
Fair enough. I'm guessing since I only see the worldclock, that the normal lockscreen is functional when the htc version is removed. I personally like the rotary lockscreen.

Good job on cracking the alarm issue. That has been a problem since cupcake.

For last couple of days I have been using advanced kernel with overclock at 900mhz. Now, my phone used 3g connection (with GSM Auto(PRL) enabled) and I have a full reception in my appartment. But using this setup my battery lasted only for 15 hours or so, with my normal usage (games, browsing etc). I decided to try using 2g network only and my battery bursted to 37 hours with normal usage like in days I was using 3g!? Ok, I know 3g uses more power but still! Could it be the radio?
