HTC and Sense

HTC's Sense is I think pretty balanced. I mean it's enough eyecandy and a lot of functions yet not a lot of resources sacrificed.

Coming to Android from WM, my Desire Z was the first phone I didn't even wanna root and mod, it was so usable and stable with it's stock (I mean HTC's stock rom). Even bloatware is not holding it badly back. Android's got a great memory management, we all know.

Only the frequent Sense restart issues made me root and flash custom roms.

Only things I don't like with this MOD is the english language for messages and weather :( I tried to replace the mms and weather.apk with the multilanguage one but no luck :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Is it possible to install sense 3/3.5 camera app on this rom? I always come back to this rom cus its fast, sense and good battery life 8)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fade2black101:
Great ROM. But was wondering if there is a way to get stock CM animations on Sense. Much prefer the Zooming effect of CM7 rather than the fade effect of Sense. For some reason it seems faster and smoother to me. I'm guessing this would involve flashing a different framework.apk?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Volume+ doesnt work too well on this rom and i realised how good beats mode is... Back to affinity ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Z!GZA!G:
DSP Manager works way better than beats.

-.- Another guy caught by marketing...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Dsp manager sounds crap on anything but cyanogenmod, no bass.

Beats plus volume+=beassttt with my studios :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xxqbnxx:
Same here at least until your ics Rom is complete :-)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Z!GZA!G:
Dont worry I got studios too, and dsp manger gets the job done anyways...

How is the default battery life compared to stock? Deeply considering installing this rom, I see it has a built in overclock module, I don't care about overclocking but I assume it underclocks with screen off by default to save battery?

Can someone clear this up before I flash it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fade2black101:
Underclocking when screen off + setting juicedefender up should see a considerable improvement over stock.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fade2black101:
Have been using DSP on PlayerPRO, but music through headphones still sounds way too low. Any way to improve this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Myrmidon83:
Thanks for that.

I remember reading something about having to edit xml to change speeds with built in governor, or is there a gui method?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fade2black101:
Download the program "setcpu" and you can set all your desired options there in a simple to use interface.

I recommend setting the governor to "on demand".. my one currently overclocks to the max and underclocks to the lowest, and the cpu will use what is needed or not needed.

Also set up a screen off profile. Mine is currently set to the lowest for the min, and the next one up for max (around 350mhz) and the governor is set to conservative.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] azrash:
there is one called OC/UV Beater2, works better than Virtuous controller and much better than setcpu you can get it here http://j.mp/qZYebO

regarding setcpu, it works by polling device every few seconds, with OC/UV Beater2 and virtuous controller , all changes are done instantly, as soon as you let your device sleep, the underclock settting kicks in.

this means that you'll get better power saving and lower cpu consumption. give oc/uv2 a try, freeze or uninstall setcpu first for it to work. it will not work if setcpu or other cpu controlling app is active

hope this'll help
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Myrmidon83:
How exactly is this OC/UV Beater2 installed? Flashed from cwm or what? EDIT: Apps Installer from market, I forgot about this.

I have used setcpu before on my wildfire to good success, I wasn't too sure whether I should use it as I read about the OC/UV Beater.

Final question, this rom doesn't need the engineering hboot or sd card partitioning does it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Z!GZA!G:
Should be an apk, and just install it like every other app.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thegodfatherdany:
Isnt this rom bad in terms of battery ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Niksie:
Not that bad if you are using the stock theme.

Any future updates?

Hi Team,

I absolutely love this rom. I was just wondering if the development for the ROM is done or are there any updates planned?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
From my experience, a new version comes when HTC releases a new version. It's always basically been an improved version of the official release.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kmmerwana:
Thanks. I hear HTC might might might bless us all with HTC Sense 3.0 update for Desire Z.

SO will this rom be updated to that update or will it be in the Unity ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fade2black101:
Buying volume boost from marker appears to solve the low volume through headphones problem :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Well, if/when that happens, I'm hoping to run ICS (something I seriously doubt HTC will provide as an official update for us DesireZ/T-Mo G2 users), so... Until then, I'm satisfied with Virtuous Sense as it is. To me, Unity was a too small enhancement to justify the larger footprint (and sluggishness) to do the switch.

I'm hoping for "vanilla" ICS to be a smooth experience even on our now year old hardware, but will surely miss all Sense goodies (until I find decent replacements for things like Friend Stream and other niceties).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kmmerwana:
I absolutely second that. But I'm assuming that HTC might lower the footprint for Desire Z update. Unity was taken from non-desire Z ROM so that could be the reason for larger footprint.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
This thread was closed by rmk40 in August and then re-opened so that users of the ROM could help each other with "unofficial" support (see Post #2 on this thread). If development for this particular ROM does continue, cjward might the one to talk to about that (or visit the virtuous forums).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SG_Shadow:
I could not agree more. I'm grateful to have such talented developers working on the G2, but I care not to use the current Sense 3.0/3.5 ROMs. They are way too slow. I can barely tolerate this ROM, but I do love Sense. I've sampled the ICS builds and they seem to be promising. I can give up sense for a stable ICS rom. I'm looking forward to CyanogenMod9 or the ICS from Virtuous.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ashrack0:
I wanna try a non rotating rosie. Since most of the time after the phone's been on for a while it takes nearly 15 seconds to turn the screen.

Can I get non rotating rosie?

---------- Post added at 08:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

if the Desire HD would get it than Desire Z probably will too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cjward23:
Hey guys,

Firstly there are no plans currently for this ROM to be updated. RMK considers it stable and with time restraints because his personal life and work does not have the time to update it.

Also don't get yourself to excited about the DZ getting a sense 3.0 update, it's very unlikely to to happen. The DHD had its first Sense 3 rom leak about 6 months ago, the Desire S and Inc S leaked about 2 months ago. All 3 of these devices to have had offical OTA's. If the DZ was going to get an update we would of seen something by now.

We really don't have the RAM to run sense 3 ROM's there is no way HTC would release an update that would damage performance so drastically.

I think the only way we get anything sense 3 oriented is if HTC build a ROM similar to what the HTC explorer use but with the correct resolution for our device.

Sent from a phone that is not running ICS :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kmmerwana:
Thanks a lot CJ for breaking our hearts!!! AND doing an absolutely wonderful mindblasting freakin awesome job with Virtuous ROMS. Every developer in virtuous team rocks...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CTCNetwork:
Hi,

All seems good with this ROM so congrats to the dev's.

I used SetCPU to set various stages according to power and all works AOk.

I will need to try that screen brightness fix some time mind.. :)

One thing that does bug me, and I don't know if it is just me, but I don't seem to be able to allocate sounds to my gmail accounts or a number of other events.

Although I created a sound set (and even installed one from HTC) it does not allow many of the events to be set..

Am I the only one with this issue?

Thanks,

Des. . . ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] azrash:
i would recommend using oc/uv beater2 instead of setcpu. here is why

this means that you'll get better power saving and lower cpu consumption. give oc/uv2 a try, freeze or uninstall setcpu first for it to work. it will not work if setcpu is active
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] CTCNetwork:
Hi,

Trying that out now. Setting take a bit of getting used to over SetCPU.

And info or update on sounds anyone?

Thanks.. :)

I am still running this mod, with seo's Sense 3 lockscreen mod!

I love it, running undervolting and overvolt to reach 1.7Ghz stable with the new virtuous affinity kernel.

this runs great! I did restore the original Rosie.apk to the rom after applying the lockscreen since it was that much faster.

Ty again virtuous
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
Another rotating rosie you could try is the one from the Synergy ROM. It's very fast, has a translucent dock and doesn't have the odd people widget anomaly.

Unfortunately the personalised right dock button doesn't work unless you push RosieSettingsSynergy.apk. If you do that you'll get that dock button to launch the browser, but you can't set it to anything else as it has anti-Synergy detection :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] coachmoore:

I bought my mom a G2 for christmas and am looking to rom it. I reverted back to froyo, installed hboot then switched to .84 (maybe .82?) for the beatz 3.5 sense rom (which runs like garbage). I'd like to switch to this one, but want to make sure her device meets the requirements. Am I good? Just a flashable .zip through CWR?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] coachmoore:
Yes! In my opinion, the best sense ROM for the g2.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Truaim:
Awesome. Thank you! I'm sure shell love it.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zaghy2zy:

Bought HTC Desire Z (Vision) a couple days ago. Downgraded, rooted and s-off and I fell in love with this rom.

It's really great. I don't like 3.5 ones, they have heavy impact on system resources. This is a good modded stock. I'm using it with Unity Kernel, no crashes, fc or lags with cpu at only 384 Mhz.

Gave a try for an hour or two to 2.016 Mhz too... It's so fast, really impressive. But, oh, battery drains like hell with that frequency. :D

Hope to see a 2.3.4 from this dev too. Really a GREAT work for me. :)

PS: Any suggestions to further improve speed, responsiveness and free ram? :)

PPS: I think I don't need it, but there is a way to use EXT4 on SD to increase storage? And what about a swap? Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
FOr most cases SWAP isn't needed for sense 2 roms... For increasing ram WITHOUT the use of SWAP, you can use the v6 supercharger script

i installed this ROM and its really stable. i have some questions

1. where is the uv/oc to manually set? or i need to use another app for front-end?

2. the rom comes w/ rom manager. whenever i tap in the backup/restore feature i am asked to install recovery. i already installed the CWM since i use it to install this rom. how's that?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] azrash:
1

2. perhaps you are not using the latest CWM, hence it'll prompt you to update it. either way, update to latest rom manager from market first and update cwm recovery if necessary
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flash05:
thanks. i updated rom and recovery using rom nanager.

so far im satisfied... i dont know what should i do next. :)

by the way, is it possible to put crt-off animation just like those found in CM?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aliasi11:
GPS takes much time to connect. Is somebody else facing GPS issues
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] azrash:
you can try the extended setting(notification drop down) and tweaked auto brightness at my signature. im not sure about the crt 0ff

use fasterfix to change the gps pool server to your current place, it'll be speedy afterwards. mine locks in 3-9 secs. Install fasterfix from market here http://j.mp/vw2Iio
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aliasi11:
Thanks Azrash.. I will revert to this ROM and check gps :-). The only reason I stoped using this rom was gps problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flash05:
yup im trying your setup :)

will read next on Ghostly SMS+modded auto brightness

might also check the gps you mentioned. haven't tried it yet.

---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

oh one more... im getting a prompt to update my superuser. is it ok? i might break stuff already working.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] azrash:
Ghostly SMS is recommended to be installed on any Gingerbread devices, even high end ones, it solves a weird bug where the incoming sms did not have enough time to be stored into the sms database. even in my cm7 based setup, i have had a few SMSes that ghostly has managed to save.

i would recommend doing the auto brightness setting last, because im not sure how to revert to original setting other than the normal restore from backup in recovery. hence, do a backup first before doing it.

Superuser is fine to be updated, update to the latest version in the market, then update the binary.

hope these would help
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flash05:
what do you mean by update the binary? updating the app isnt enough? if so how do i update the binary?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] azrash:
simply go to your app drawer, open up superuser, go menu>preference>scroll down and click Su Binary v3.X.X.X

this however is not that crucial/critical, i only check for update once in a few months, but updating to the latest version is always better, and more secure
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flash05:
ok got it. its up to date. v.2.3.2-efgh

all i want to complete my phone is the crt-off animation. :( i think it should have been the g-lite that was install :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] antinerd:
Please remember that the crt-off animation causes that horrible orange LED bug when ever you slide open the keyboard! Personally, I don't think that the fancy animation is worth the annoyance of a stuck LED that you will need to touch the notification area to clear....every time you open the keyboard!

...So, if there is an update to this ROM, please do not add the crt-off animation, unless there is an option to disable it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Z!GZA!G:
Using the stock theme for the battery isnt helping the battery drainage issue for me. :(

Anything else that can be donee?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c1823a:
I just recently leaped over to the "dark side"!!! Rooted my Desire Z and put the Virtuous Sense Rom on it. So far, it has worked great. Phone seems faster and better battery life. I don't have a bunch of Market junk installed (never have) but the battery life does seem to be better than before. The procedures provided here on XDA to perform the temp root, downgrade and then permanent root were great. Thanks to all who have been involved and special thanks to the makers of Virtuous Sense!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flash05:
btw, what is the default frequency of this virtuous sense?

so happy with this one although this isnt the fastest out there but the most stable i guess..

i noticed that the progress bar when sending files over bluetooth doesnt work. stuck at 0% and you have to check the target if its complete before going to notification and perform cancel... still just a minor rather having frequent restart of sense... ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Niksie:
All intel regarding this rom can be found here.

Including CPU frequency's.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flash05:
^ shoot i missed that... sorry. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flash05:
need clarification again, sorry :(

got it from the virtuous site.

Virtuous Sense custom kernel with overclocking daemon (no need for SetCPU/Tuner). Screen Off: 245760 / 599040 (conservative). Screen On: 245760 / 998400 (ondemand)

i can only understand that the CPU governor is set to conservative when screen is off and on-demand when on. what about the numbers? sorry, n00b.

245760 / 599040 (conservative) 245Mhz up to 599Mhz

245760 / 998400 (ondemand) 245Mhz up to 1Ghz

anyway, can you tell me if my understanding is correct on the numbers
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
Yes, quite right. Those are minimum and maximum CPU clock frequencies.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flash05:
THanks. now will try the OC/UV Beater2... what is the maximum UV/OC safe for DZ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
That is an individual thing, as all CPUs are slightly different. Also some ROMs and kernels may allow faster overclocks than others. The good thing about OC/UV Beater2 is that you can ask it for a temporary setting so that you can test things out. If the setting doesn't work, and the phone freezes, the settings will return to the last permanent settings after you pull the battery and reboot the phone.

When you are happy that the settings you chose are stable, you can then set them permanently.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flash05:
thanks! this rom tends to slow down a bit based on weeks of using it... i have lots of apps.

i changed the minimum of wake to 500+ instead of 245.

performance gov will set it to max frequency right?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Chrusb:
Is it just me or is the dl link down? :(

Can anyone, if I may ask, give me a mirror?

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
From Twitter:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] monomer888:
I've used this as my daily ROM for weeks with no problems, so I think maybe the fact that you have lots of apps is making the phone slow as a whole.

I'm a bit picky about the apps I load, and found that some apps updates change so that they set themselves up as a service rather than go away after you close them. If they're badly written, then they might consume CPU cycles, or if they're just trying to stay in memory and slow the phone down. (I could name a few culprits, but the latest Facebook app is one candidate for staying in memory and consuming CPU cycles and chewing up battery.)

From my perspective if you have a phone where you're needing to set a wake CPU minimum of 500Mhz, something is wrong and it may be better to try and find the cause of that, because I don't think it's the ROM itself.

To answer your other question: yes, performance gov will set the CPU frequency permanently at maximum

thanks for the advise!

i have 92 installed apps. no games :( mostly remote connection, social media stuff and misc apps.

i have autokiller set at aggressive which makes my ram 92MB average. senses never restarts now except in 2 occasions.. tried go launcher and unknown reason.

so far its been 4 days since the last time i rebooted this. longest was 59 days stock (but already slowed significantly during the last weeks... :( )

hmmm whatelse i can put in this rom to improve/enhance?

again, thanks for the advise. looking forward for more suggestions :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Myrmidon83:
You shouldn't be using auto killer or any other task killer, Android has its own much better task management system as standard. The auto killer will keep killing apps which will then reload, this affects battery life and sluggishness occurs.

Uninstall the autokiller is my advice.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flash05:
no no... im using "auto killer" that changes the memory threshold. not the task killer that frees memory...

AutoKiller Memory Optimizer

https://market.android.com/details?...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ycy5hdXRva2lsbGVyIl0.

unless this is also wrong to use...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] azrash:
Uninstall this, and use the v6 charger script as suggested by a poster a few posts back.. I recommend using multi task setting. Do note that setting aggressive management is not good for multi task as apps would be killed more often and by the time you select them from the recent apps, the apps have to reload again
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Flash05:
oh is that so.. ok then... i;ll look for the instruction how to install the v6 on this rom.
