YAY!! :D Haha, I was supposed to sleep half an hour ago, but I'm not yet because I tweaked my siggy! I love this =]

Boot ani would be amazing. =) (Just thought I should reiterate)

On a side note, this next release will be a huge step up. I've discovered something really cool =) This is the ONLY ROM I've seen that will have this feature. It's not big big, but it's pretty awesome :D

Okay, NOW good night :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Oops, appears I've missed something! dpwhittney AND contagous. You'll both be getting the dl link a bit earlier =)

Thanks for contributing :]

ah hah, NOW it's the final 'night. 'night all.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
I'll get to work sometime tomorrow.

Anything you would like it to be? Or just wing it? Lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Mmm, hmm.... again, something nice and subtle. I hate those seizure-inducing flashy ROM animations xP Simple fade in or something :) Haha, wing it, I'm sure it'll be great! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] contagous:
I was the designer of Adrynalynes FrankenROM boot ani, I'll see what I can come up with l8r tonight also.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Whooo! :D Yayyyy! thanks! :] Gonna be out all day today, I'm taking all my fixes for a test drive xP

The next release probably won't have the "Amazing thing" I was talking about, too much work and not enough time. However, it will have:

Market Apps fixed

Autobrightness fixed

Landscape Rosie everything looks right

Fixed a mysterious battery drainer

I have had no 3G drops since v31...

Possible Phantom Calls fix, I need to talk more to test it out though xD (Haha, my girlfriend probably really likes this testing... :D *talk *talk *talk while he runs logcat xP)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
You likey?

BTW it's not really that fast XD

It goes like this:

Green stuff is wiped across, text fades in.

Then, the text pulses with the white glow until everything is loaded.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jmathai:
Hey G,

I'm not sure if you've tried HeyItsLou's latest kernel that adds multi-touch support, but it doesn't seem to work on Desire Z ROMs. Any idea why that is?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
The new Sense maybe? It works on everything else, but those all use the old Sense.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jmathai:
Maybe, but I wouldn't think Sense would have to do with it? Well it's something to do with these DZ roms so maybe you're right. We'll see what G has to say about it lol.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
I'm on my phone, out all day. I'll take a look with the browser in a sec though. Sounds really cool though! Thanks =]

I think it's because this is a ported ROM. Which means that some of the drivers are from DZ. And I'm gonna guess that the touch screen drivers aren't quite compatible. Hmm... ziggy did say that he couldn't get it to work on DInc at all...

To me, it seems like a really minor point. I may look into it... but that'll be a long time from now. I doubt it's gonna be a dealbreaker for anyone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jmathai:
Ohh ok makes sense. Most people who used Lou's latest kernel have been able to confirm it works, except for DZ rom users. Its not a dealbreaker by any means, just curious as to why it wasn't working. Thanks for the quick reply! :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Yup! I will look into it for sure. But it's on the very bottom of the list xD
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
Here's a smoother version of the boot animation:

(slowed the glowing text wayyyyyyyyy down)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Ahhhhhhh. I need to get home so I can look at this =]
[Droid Incredible Android Development] redsunrising:
I like it man it's sweet
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
No 3G drops all day today. And battery is ridiculous! Been emailing, texting, XDA-apping, surfing, and the screen brightness up to 50%... 3 hours awake and 18%. And this is without the better battery life fixes.

No lag either. :)

I feel like this ROM is leading towards an enhanced port. I don't want to theme too much, and force you guys to like certain colors. In any case, any themes I make will be optional installs.

Get ready for RC1. =]
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 7he Messiah:
For those that might be interested, I figured I'd share this wallpaper that I made for my use with this ROM.

Zip attachment is the 960x800 PNG version of the graphic, if you should want it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
OMG! Going into my wallpaper rotation! =]

EDIT: I love this wall buddy! Look in the mirror. Say hello to an RC1 tester :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] liquidi3ladz:
Did you by anyway fix the network drop everytime we connect/disconnect from a router?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Let me test that right now. I don't usually connect to WiFi. One sec.

Okay, I have just connected and disconnected. No drop. I'll test more though.

Did it again, no issues. I'll try walking out of range a bit later.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 7he Messiah:
Thank you (to both points!), I'm glad you like it! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] liquidi3ladz:
The issue occurs when you connect onto a wifi network, if you check your signal strength, it drops to 0 for a split second. As far as I know it existed since ID's port.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Ah, I see what you're saying. Hmm... that is NOT fixed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] stopthebus:
This problem exist in every GSM port to CDMA. Every GSM ports that I've tried anyway.

Used to drive me nut because I can't use Tasker to switch WIFI on/off (noob at tasker).

However, about a week ago I'm using a mixture of Incdoes 2.6, Uber, and Nils and I don't have that problem anymore. Don't know what, but it's gone.

Tasker is running like a dream.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Teh_Higgins:
Excited for RC1. For some reason i flashed to V31 from MIUI (just trying it out) and it was really laggy. Unlocking the phone lagged for a few seconds, the pull down bar lagged, opening programs lagged. Almost felt like the phone was severely underclocked, just wondering if it had anything to do with that CPU clock program that came installed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
It's the kernel. BFS is terrible for multitasking. It gives all the CPU resources to the syncing app, so everything lags. I swapped kernels for RC1. It's amazing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jskolm:
Totally looking forward to jumping on RC1! I am still on ID's port and can't wait to switch to yours.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] contagous:
Sounds great, :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Just a few more things to wrap up, and I may push RC1 to testers tonight.

Everything is really fast and snappy. =] Averaging 3-4 awake with heavy web browsing. 5-6 with less 3G.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
I came from ID's, and I can tell you that this is much faster and stable.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jskolm:
I have been wanting to make the switch for a while now. I am on vacation this week so I have time to do a complete wipe and install everything 1 at a time to set it up my way. But with RC1 coming out soon, I will wait for that one to drop. Looks like you are doing a great job gmichaelow! keep it up!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
=]

Yup yup!! I'm home now, and just three more things to work out, then the upload can begin. I keep coming up with "just one more thing" that I want to squeeze into RC1, except if I do, then I won't make my deadline xD Anyways, hopefully these three things won't take too long, and then I can begin the upload!! :)

EDIT: 1 down, 2 to go.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smwoodward:
I hope you get this up tonight. The battery drain issue forced me to swap back to stock.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] avenator14:
ADB

i hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it appears as if ADB is not functioning correctly (most likely because USB Debugging fails to start.)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
My adb works perfectly... haha, I should know. As for battery drain, I have seen no more issues.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Teh_Higgins:
Flashed the incredikernel and its running awesome. Forgot thats what i had flashed before and it fixed my problems.

Keep it up man. :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Ahh... I believe you are referring to the missing notification icon? That's because I hid it ;) It works fine.

Thanks! :D Ironing out one last kernel issue, then I can start the upload =)

Big issue. I'm looking into it. Hopefully RC1 will get out to testers sometime tonight though...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mycomputerisjunk:
Wow, I just did a complete wipe and installed v31 and the market app is no where to be found. Did I miss something?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mycomputerisjunk:
Run System Panel and see what's causing the battery drain. I found that if I run any Kernel other than the stock one I have excessive drain.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
You sir, have given me excellent idea. RC1 is uploading now, going out to testers in a sec.

For your services (which you probably didn't even know you provided xD), I will be PMing you the link in about an hour =)

EDIT: check the ETA on the OPs.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
Just FYI... Where you have me mentioned at the userbar thingy, you have my name as dpwhitney 1. Just saying. lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] contagous:
Sweet looking forward to RC1 :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihavenoidea:
Not trying to pry here G, but remember you stating that you didn't see a point in a Beta Team? Why now? I ran your rom for some time and really liked it over the other Z ports, but messed it up by not being able to update the apps. Plan on coming back and have no problem with the beta team, as it is always great to get a sound product without having a bunch of issues. Just a question?

Love the work and happy holidays!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
I see your point. However, this ROM is now leaving beta to RC1. There was no point in having any test releases while the whole ROM was already a test. This past release has shown me that I do need testers xD.

And that was a very good question. I happen to like good questions. Check your PM in about 10 minutes. =]
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Whoops! Sorry! I say things in my head to remember them, and I said "whitney" instead of "whitty" xD

That's embarrassing. xP
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
lol, its k

XD
[Droid Incredible Android Development] liquidi3ladz:
Curious question to all testers, any notiable bugs?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
I don't think I managed to introduce anymore new bugs xD haha, need a tester to weigh in though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lazysleepyboi:
is it just me, or when you're in a call, does it have a problem with cutting off 3g completely? I haven't noticed before, and have barely started looking at my status bar everytime i make a call now. Just curious if that's how it's supposed to be, because sometimes i like the ability to look up a location or email when someone is asking me about something

keep up the great work gmichaelow!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
No no, it's not the ROM's fault. It's Verizon's xD 3G is on the same freqency as voice, or something.

WiFi, however, will work with calls. It's just how it is xP
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lazysleepyboi:
that was a quick reply, haha. Any news when RC1 will be out of beta testing? I think we're all anxiously waiting for your next release

just a quick thing that i noticed with this rom, is there a problem with sound when testing out different notification sounds? I didn't notice it at first, but after a couple of friends were playing with my phone, they noticed that you can't preview text message notification sounds like before. It doesn't allow you to preview the different sounds. There's a way around it which is change the notification sound, then change the volume of the notification, but i've noticed that all the notification sounds have the same sound. Is there a fix for this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 7he Messiah:
Alright, thusfar:

1) Install took a little longer than I expected, but no biggie. =]

2) It seems to be responsive as hell! Gotta love that!

3) Upon setting up my homescreens, I noticed a lack of weather, so I clicked the weather widget to enter the weather app, and the app (com.htc.Weather) FC'd when I clicked "Add a City" (repeatable, happened three times).

4) Number 3 shouldn't happen, but I can't get the weather function of my Simi Clock widget to update either (and I am pretty sure they (HTC/Simi) sync to different sources, being as how I've seen them disagree with one another). Maybe it's just because my phone is still damned near constantly syncing, not sure yet.

5) When I had someone place a test call to me, the text for the caller ID was right aligned, rather than being centered under the image; small detail and not exactly a problem, but seemed worth pointing out. However, in the short time of the call, it did not drop at all (which I'd had happen quite a bit with v31).

So far, I haven't seen much else, but I'm not fully done setting back up yet.

Overall, it is great, and a good improvement over v31!! Keep it up!

EDIT: Okay, for whatever reason, after having left the phone alone for a couple of minutes, the weather on both widgets synced. However, the HTC app still FC's when I tell it to add a location.

If I'm understanding what you are saying correctly (which I may well not be, lol), then the answer is in two parts:

1) When on the list to change the sounds, try pressing your Volume Up button, since that part of Sense seems to use the Media Volume rather than Notification Volume.. not sure why, but it does.

2) Within your HTC Hub, click on Notification Sounds at the bottom and you can set the various types of sounds individually.

Sorry if that didn't answer your question, but I think it should. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
=]

Per OP: Public goes out (after test) within the next 24 hours, or when I get an all-clear from my testers, whichever comes first =)

Hmm... I get the sound preview. This is what I did:

Messages > Settings > Notification Sound > Tap on a sound > *Sound plays.

Home > Personalize (right dock button) > Ringtone > Tap on a sound > *Sound plays.

Home > Personalize (right dock button) > Notification Sound > Default Notification > Tap on a sound > *sound plays.

Home > Personalize (right dock button) > Notification Sound > Message > Tap on a sound > *sound plays.

Home > Personalize (right dock button) > Notification Sound > Calendar > Tap on a sound > *Sound plays.

Home > Personalize (right dock button) > Notification Sound > Email > Tap on a sound > *sound plays.

Tested on silent, vibrate, and with sound.

Haha, I've learned to be a very thorough tester. What are the steps you did?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lazysleepyboi:
strange how i tried that before and it didn't work and now when i just tried it, it worked. Haha, maybe i was doing something wrong earlier, thanks a bunch. Somehow option one solved it, thank you!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Wow, I missed that weather FC completely. I'll try and fix that. I'll make a note about the install, there are more files now, so it takes a bit longer xD

Ah yes, the phone text IS aligned right, it's just a small annoyance, and I really don't want to touch anything if there are no phantom calls xP

I'll look into that weather FC though. Can anyone on v31 check? Open up weather, and hit the little plus on the bottom right. Does it open okay?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] liquidi3ladz:
No FC's when adding weather location.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] contagous:
Weather on v31 works fine for me... just to let you know
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Thanks! :D Whapow (one of my favorite sounds :]), fixed the FC. Sorry about that, testers! But this is why I have you guys!! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 7he Messiah:
I'd wait for a response from someone still on v31 to be sure, but I'm rather confident that it will [work correctly], because I happened to be messing with that earlier this evening after my location randomly set itself to Washington...

EDIT: A day late, and a dollar short, hehe. ^__^ Anyhow, good to know it's fixed.

EDIT II (The Sequel): Being as how it's after 2:00 AM here in the jolly land of EST, and I have to work in the morning, I'm gonna get some sleep. But, being as how a rather considerate dev happened to include the XDA app, I'll post if I run into any troubles (which, from this point at least, it does not look like I will). Again, great ROM gmichaelow, thank you for your hard work on this! =]
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
Flashing over v31 doesn't re-add the maps and navigation apps.

I'll keep playing with it and tell you how it goes. So far so good.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Ah mmk. Wipe is required then. xD
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Wow! Get some sleep man! Thanks for being such a thorough tester and reporter! =]
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
Rofl, signal strength is in the mid -70's now XD

Dunno if related in any way or not, but I never get that high (lol high) in my house.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Yay! Wait... haha, that's a good thing right? =]
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
Lol yes.

Also, I don't have the weather issue that was stated above.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
Just kidding yes i do :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lazysleepyboi:
yes, it's a good thing. The more negative your signal, the worse your signal is, usually. My house is at -90dbh, which is pretty bad, haha. Glad that you somehow have improved signal strength gmichaelow

what radio are you using dpwhitty11? are you using 7.28 or 9.01?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Haha, I thought you should. I messed up the pointer. All fixed now though!

Yes yes, it's a negative log scale, less negative is better. Like -70 is better than -90. But when he said "higher," it was really vague, because many drop the negative, and say 90 is better than 70 xD
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smwoodward:
I just installed, don't have time to test a bunch tonight, the one thing I noticed during setup is the auto brightness seemed to work a little too well. Meaning just holding the phone and using it, I noticed the auto brightness adjusting while I was in the same room just entering text. Not sure what you can adjust in the code, but if you can increase the timing before brightness reacts that will help fix that. I will test more tomorrow.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Ah, I know what you mean. I'll fix that right up =)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] najaboy:
One thing that I've experienced with v31, which may just be a limitation peculiar to Desire ports, is that I can no longer use vlingo to voice dial any of my contacts. For whatever reason, it thinks that it's in Europe and inputs everything as an international call to the U.S.. As such, local calls can't connect. This is only when attempting to voice dial a contact by name.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smwoodward:
BTW, did you happen to fix the HTC music to read internal storage?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Actually I think I have a fix. Not a clean one, and really hackerish, but it works. Gonna test it out, and it should (hopefully) make it into the public RC1.1.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Hackerish fix works. You'll see this in RC1.1 (tomorrow) =] It's a terrible workaround really, but it works.

Gonna need some dirty gscripting. 'night all. Look for RC1.1 (with music workaround hopefully) tomorrow night!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smwoodward:
Here's one other thing that I can't seem to figure out why. The official Twitter app. If I am connected to a WiFi spot, I cannot log-in to Twitter, but once I go to 3g I can login very quickly. It does seem to me that WiFi is a little laggy.

And the people app doesn't rotate. Not sure if it was suppose to.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jasonxlee01:
I see that in your change log the kernel was changed to "Virtuous Custom Kernel v3". Is that part of the battery drain fix? If i use a different kernel (I really like Chad's Incredikernel), will if affect anything? Or was the battery drain issue a completely different thing?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jskolm:
Why did you switch to Virtuous Stock V3 kernel? I know it's easy for us to change on our own later, just curious what you found the benefit to be. I tried that one and got horrible lag and battery life. I have found that for me, the best kernel options is Ziggy's newest BFS beta kernel. I have tried all of them and that one seems to be the smoothest with the best battery life for me personally. But again, I am still running ID's original port until RC 1.1 drops for us :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] najaboy:
Just reposting this info, as it answers the kernel question.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jskolm:
All that says is that BFS is terrible at multitasking. That does not answer my question. Ziggy also has a CFS version of his kernel. What I was asking was why he used the stock kernel. I found that one to have the most lag and worst battery life.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ziggy471:
Glad you like my kernels. As for him looking at different kernels, I can answer part of that. He found an issue with my latest kernels, and I've been working on it since last night. I think I've figured it out, but waiting for further testing.

I personally prefer a BFS kernel, only reason I started doing CFS w/autogroup was because everyone kept asking me for it.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihavenoidea:
RC1 Report

I have found no major issues using RC1 so far. The ones that i have seen have already been posted (Weather FC'ing when adding city, and after call hangs up, the text is shifted to the right of the screen)...Not big items, still very nice update!! I switched my kernal from V3 to Lou's #6 with the 3-10 multitouch. So far not bad on battery life, but too early to tell. Will report anything else back that I find.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] redsunrising:
G,

I was thinking of some ideas since you mentioned this sort of transforming into an enhanced port and I know there has been a split between those who favor the Power settings and the other Recent apps so I was wondering what the possibility of including both in the drop down menu? With no dev knowledge I may be talking out of place, but I was thinking it could add more functionality and a uniqueness to this ROM to continually set it apart.

Oh also did you decide whether 6-bar was worth it? (Guess I'll see in RC1)

Excited for RC1 (or 1.1 which ever is released to us public haha ;)) and I have to say I've been proud to call this my daily since v14
