Running the Backup All User Apps and System Data.

When restoring, should I restore it all, or just the apps? I'm thinking just USER APPS as a lot of the system data aspects may be updated during the upgrade process.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Herrera91:
It'd be better to restore the data as well so you won't have to redo the settings for the appropriate apps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] andersonjacob54:
Hmm ok. I was wondering because the OP said "If you are asked to complete a "full wipe", you should NEVER restore system data with Titanium. Otherwise you have defeated the purpose."
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] IMPEREAL:
That is correct the restore should never be done when a full wipe is required.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] andersonjacob54:
Therefore when updating to the upcoming 0.9 version, don't restore anything use TitaniumBackup correct?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] IMPEREAL:
Correct. It kinda sux resetting everything up but its well worth it to not have bugs later on.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nikmash232:
I have the g2... I've wiped all and reflashed. Things like messages load up really slow and idk its just bit slow..

idk if i have w/pershot

My anticipation for the release is at an all-time high.

Can't go to sleep until I've flashed my phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the orange bandit:
Its safe to restore *user* apps and data, just not system apps. Best way is to go through your Titanium batch options and uncheck anything you didn't get from the market.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gcng:
You are not alone....

At least for another hour, have to work tomorrow.

Alrighty folks, 0.9.0 is available via the OP. ROM Manager being updated now.

Whoooo!! Let us flash our hearts out! XD

Man, JUST as I finally say let me install 8.1 instead of waiting for 9, and go ahead and install 8.1, I click refresh and there it is, haha. You guys are awesome though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Hemi-Cuda:
so what are the steps to installing the advanced kernel if we so choose? is it just renaming the .zip to update.zip and updating from the recovery console?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Best way is via ROM Manager. Just go to our kernel section and the option is there.

EDIT: Suggestion for everyone -- Run the standard kernel for at least a few days to see if you even feel the need to tinker. I personally am running standard and do not feel the need to overclock beyond 1Ghz.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fatindian:
So I installed the ROM, after doing a wipe. But all my previous download apps are still present, what's up with that? Is that a function of syncing with Google or HTC accounts?

EDIT: Do I not need to worry about installing SetCPU now because the thing overclocks/underclocks by itself?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eViL D::
The stock kernel is not customizable at all. That is by design. It works very well out of the box. Read the OP's for more info.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] greensnow:
I'd like to know this too
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zkid2010:
Yes it is. Was this after you signed into your Google account AND the phone showed a sync symbol and was really laggy for a minute or so? :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
This is the built-in backup to Google feature. To avoid it, just say NO when it asks you if you want to use Google's backup service. You can turn it on again later by going into Settings->Privacy. Enable backup but disable automatic restore.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fatindian:
Well, that seemed to have installed the latest Youtube app. Oh well.

Other than that, does that mess with Virtuous ROM's system apps or otherwise interfere with your design?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Should be fine. Just uninstall Youtube. The version we provide is in /system/app now so it'll only remove the updated version and give you the correct one.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
i personally like the google back up..it makes everything a hell of a lot earlier. im glad to see the update to the rom! it looks even better. ill have to test out the standard kernel. the only reason i would go any higherr would be for games.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GunBuri:
Have a weird issue I found(well, someone else might have earlier, but this thread is too huge).

When I have the phone open(hardware keyboard out), and I let the screen timeout lock the phone, the phone immediatly unlocks itself and wakes back up right after the screen goes black. It only does this once, then locks itself like normal once it times out again.

Does it whether I have screen lock sounds on or off. Only on this rom too.

Its not that big an issue really, just random.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] greensnow:
that happens to me sometimes too, not every time but often
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
I agree, it's quite nice. I just suggest de-selecting the backup checkbox during initial setup, so that you can re-enable it later via Settings while disabling automatic restore.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Herrera91:
Ok, so everything is working fine for the most part. Nothing really major to report. Going to take this out for a test drive today and see if the advanced kernel is necessary for my everyday life...

Comin' from CM 6.1.1 I gotta say... this is one badass rom! I think ill stick with this for a few weeks since this is my first actual taste of Sense =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tbalden:
Yeah..

Just got into a strange thing: switching screen on behaves 70% like leaving the screen off, and after a few tries or keyboard slided it switches on. Anyone with this?

Latest rom and latest advanced kernel at 245-1450mhz.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tbalden:
Screen thingy doesnt happen only rarely if i downtune the clock to max 1000mhz. With 1400mhz it happens always.

Any tips? Using setcpu

Don't use the advanced kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sonofabit:
Great ROM as always guys. Really happy with it. A couple of small things I noticed:

- htcsense.com sees this phone as a DesireHD, not a Z

- htssense.com phone finder still not working. Oddly enough the ring phone part does... and yes, it's selected under settings -> locations.

Thanks again!

Evil and RMK, with the HTC Thunderbolt RUU just leaked, are you guys gonna dig around in it and bring some new sense updates or improvements to this rom?

Using the 0.9.0 with standard kernel now. Did a Titanium user apps + data ONLY restore.

Device is FLYYYING. Running better than 0.8.1 did with regards to lag, etc... Hopefully battery life will not be affected!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fatindian:
Not sure about the first problem, but the second is not because of the ROM. I was on the default Bell ROM and those features either only worked sporadically or not at all. I emailed HTC support about it, and they basically told me the site is in beta and so these issues are to be expected.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] #TeamAndroid:
I'm getting ready to update, I've already did a nandroid backup and Titanium app and data backup, but I added different notification icons with animation and changed the fonts, is there a way to back that up so I can restore it onto the new rom, or do I have to reflash everything, I also switched messengers as well
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Yep, we'll definitely take a look at it and see if there's anything worth pulling in.

Really? I only posted about this half a dozen times, provided details in post #2 of this thread, put it in the changelog and tweeted about it. If you don't know, it's because you're not making any sort of effort at all to follow what's happening with the ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrbmg:
Just flashed through RM and its running real nice. Got everything set up the way I wanted. Now time to customize.

Dont think im going to even use setcpu or try another kernel, this ROM is flying on its own. Real snappy.

Thanks rmk and evil for all the hard work as always.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] catachresistant:
Not sure about the fonts but as for the icons, just pull your current framework.apk from /system/framework/ and then push it back after flashing the new ROM. Should work fine.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eViL D::
Don't clock up that high. 1300 sounds safe for you.

We'll take a look, but I doubt anything there is any different.

Which rom specifically?

I don't follow what you're saying...

Open the widget first. Seems like a bug.

Hrmm, I wish I could test that more, but I don't use exchange anymore. For any exchange users, please let us know what your current experience is.

You can't lose root flashing the radio, but you need true root, not just via hboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
HTC hasn't released the source for that yet, as usual. Either way we'd probably only pull bits and pieces of the code (vidc for example). Our kernel is actually based off the Desire HD code, since it performed the best out of all the variants we tested (dozens of kernel builds).

Press and hold on any input field until a box pops up which allows you to select input method. You can then select Swype.

Try using "powersafe" for "screen lock" profile. Im still on 0.8.1, but my phone used to freeze on wakeup with "on demand" for "screen off". Also try to avoid using the same setting for "min" and "max".

CPU Tuner.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Razorless:
Try Cpu Tuner... it also uses less RAM than SetCPU with profiles enabled, never tried it myself, though...

could it be possible to make the T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling app a user app instead of a system app? i have a Desire Z from Bell, so obviously this feature is useless for me, yet the app is always running and impossible to close. when i manually remove it with Titanium Backup, i get a force close loop that requires me to pull the battery. it's not so much a problem with my day-to-day use of the phone, but when upgrading to a new version of Virtuous it's a pain to always have to remove my phone bumper and pull the battery just to get rid of this stupid app

My findings with 0.9.0 so far

Flashed 0.9.0 today.

Seems to be fine.

Thanks to the automatic google backup and restore all my previously installed apps were magically reinstalled. If you don´t like that, than turn this feature of prior to configuring your gmail settings when doing the installing wizzard.

BTW does anyone know, if only apps from the market get backed up and restored by this way or all apps or even system apps? I asume only market apps, because some apps were missing afterwards, e.g. setcpu and adobe reader if I remember right.

I gave the 1.0.7 advanced kernel a try, overclocking to 1,49ghz with screenoff profile set to 368mhz, both on demand. This very badly caused the black screen on wake up again (90% off). This probably could be fixed by using powersave governor in the screenoff profile and smartass governor in screen-on mode (as pointed out by Razorless above), but I did not try this so far.

Thanks to google backup and restore also my privious 2.1.6 youtube app got installed back again and I can now confirm that the 1.0.7 kernel freezes with youtube 2.1.6 on this 0.9.0 rom.

I reverted back to pershoots virtuous 1.2 kernel and youtube 2.1.6 works perfectly again. Also no (very rare) black screen on wake up problems with pershoots virtuous 1.2 kernel. I am now using pershoot 1.2 kernel overclocked to 245-1516mhz with smartass in screen-on mode and screen-off profile with 245-768mhz with powersave governor. Seems all very well.

Does anybody know what the differences are between virtuous kernel 1.0.7 and pershoots virtuous kernel 1.2 (not counting the cpu voltage stuff). Maybe the trackpad wake or is this just a ROM thing?

[BTW While still in the 1.0.7 kernel I was able to see and select all .mp3 on my sd card as ringtones, no matter where they were, at least in media/audio/ringtones on the sd. After changing back to pershoot kernel and reboot my selected ringtone was gone and I could not see it in the ringtone chooser although it still was on the sd card as before. I had to copy this .mp3 to the music folder on sd card in order to see and select it again as a ring tone. But maybe this just was a one time issue. Strange things happen.]

Update: I removed (uninstalled) wifi-calling app with titanium backup as I am not on T-Mobile. While uninstalling titanium will ask to kill it before removing. I did and the app was removed, but right after Android showed FCs for the missing wifi-calling-app. Never mind, just remove the battery and reboot. Everything is fine afterwards.

I removed (uninstalled) the english swype app with titanium backup and deleted libswypecore.so (see some posts above/below) in /system/lib/. Then rebooted. Then installed the new full swype beta (register on their web site and download and install the swypeinstaller app). All documented at the swype site. Works and now even in German. Everything fine.

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

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pyro9219:
No issues with the default .9 rom. Stable, fast, beautiful. I've not experienced any issues with my exchange email, or wake issues, or anything else I've seen people struggle with.

My personal recommendation is that people stop trying to max OC their phones until they can prove they are stable at lower speeds. Not everyone's phone will take a full OC, understand your limits. Second, try running the ROM without a load of your own applications on the phone to verify that issues experienced aren't caused by 3rd party applications.

The kernal the cam with this rom seems kinda sluggish. Should I get rid of setcpu and use cpu tuner?

Its true that SetCPU causes freeze/blackscreen stuff related issues with certain configs, but you cannot blame it for everything, you know...
