Yay! Hopefully we can get something working =)

And WOW, I just had the freakin scariest "OMG I BRICKED MY PHONE" moment.

I want to rant, and I will rant because this is my thread =]

I was messing with vold, and accidentally managed to mount /data to my computer... needless to say, that holds dalvik-cache and whatnot. And of course, my phone tries to write to it, and everything lags up and starts FCing.

Of course, I decide that the best way to fix things is to simply unmount right?

WRONG! I unmounted, and the whole phone froze and proceeded to bootloop.

Crap! *runs a logcat. And I saw all these I/O errors. Turns out I managed to corrupt my /data partition.

I was like OMG OMG OMG, BRRIIIIIIICCCKKKKKKKK!! Then I was like, "Hold on, if it boots, it's not bricked." I tried to format and whatnot from recovery (ies), but they LIE to me! It's not an actual format, but rather an "rm -r" (remove recursively) kind of thing. So the corrupted files /data/app and /data/dalvik cache didn't go away...

I knew I had to completely wipe the partition. And my brain fires and is all like, NANDROID has data.img files...

So I tried an nandroid restore, only to find out that nandroid cheats as well! It's not a bit-by-bit copy, it just copies the files or something.

And then FINALLY, I remembered that I could zero out the drive. I will not post commands, as I'm afraid noobs will decide and run them xD But I overwrote the whole partion with 0s, and then formatted to ext3 (thank goodness for e2fs), and then, at last, I booted =)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Nmincredible:
We should call you Obi Wan.... your our only hope.. lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
Holy titty panic, Batman! Lol

I'd probably piss myself in that situation. Kudos for pulling yourself out of that kind of jam.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
G, this post was hilarious. I had no idea what you were talking about - all I could think was when I was in high school, something like this would have gotten me a wedgie...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Haha, well, that's not to say I didn't panic... But, "If it boots, you're not bricked" xD I knew I had options, things to try, so I did. Phews though.

Hahahaaa, high school is different these days! They have lots of "anti-bullying campaigns" xD And I just make sure I'm popular-smart, not nerdy-smart, then people don't pick on you :P
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ndaoud360:
And the update that the desire hd got, desire z got it as well and came with many improvements and updated for much better hd video recording along with it. would this update for the desire z will work on this rom, since this is a desire z port. also the camera update that the phone got may help us get 720p video recording to work correctly.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
It's possible. I'm working on HtcMusic now, and if I get that fixed, then I'll be testing out RC-2 internally for a bit =)

I'll look into 720p fix a bit later.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
I also popped this onto your Twitter, but Honeycomb music is affirmative on reading from EMMC.

Edit: Oh, hold on, it just bugged out on me. Trying to recreate the working EMMC.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Gonna be sending out RC-2.X.X test builds tonight, any takers?

PM me your email. Or a throwaway email, whatever. And if I told you you had a spot for THIS release, please remind me =]

Going out for New Years' Eve, and if everything is good, I'll send the build out tonight or tomorrow :)

PS I'm only taking a limited number.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Nmincredible:
I'm in...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
Sent a PM with email address - I am in too
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jmathai:
Hey G,

I was looking at the VirusROM Revolution Z for the EVO and the gingerbread elements look nice...any thoughts on incorporating those elements in this ROM?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Maybe I'll make an addon later. Tweaking some last theming stuff, and then I'll send out the links.

BTW, not everyone that sent me a PM will be getting a link. It's gonna be randomized.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Fed all the emails into my randomizer.

Permanent testing team for the donators. (Please PM me if I missed you)

And then chose the rest randomly.

I'll be sending out an email to those who are in, and another email out to those on the permanent testing team.

If you don't get an email, my computer doesn't like you xP But don't worry, I've done a lot of testing already, so the link should be out pretty quick after the testers.

If you donated and want to be on the permanent testing team, and DIDN'T receive an email from me, please PM me.

^above is valid at 12:45pm PST
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
RC-2.0.0-vTester links have gone out. =)

Tell me what you think! :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Nmincredible:
So far so good.. took a couple installs to get the keyboard to work
[Droid Incredible Android Development] contagous:
Downloading will test it out l8r tonight or tomoz when i get home :), sounds good so far tho
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Read the installation instructions. *sigh, why does no one ever listen to me? :P

Please do read the installation instructions, there is good stuff in there! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] smwoodward:
I followed the instructions, and I still can't get the keyboard to work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
ahh, okay. I'll add the stock keyboard back in. Sorry for the inconvience!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lazysleepyboi:
So far so good, from the first time I booted, I noticed the difference in speed compared to rc1.2. I'm still noticing some lag when I'm typing, and I'm noticing a huge lag with the automatic screen brightness. Sometimes it works perfectly, other times the lag between it changing screen brightness is unbearable. The transparent background for the app box could use a little work, it depends mostly on your background for it to look good with the transparent background, ill update yoi after I play with it more. Nice work!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lazysleepyboi:
If the keyboard isn't working for you I suggest going into the development section and getting the gingerbread keyboard apk. It's working perfectly for me so far, no problems yet
[Droid Incredible Android Development] biddle3:
Exchange Email Problems??

I am having problems setting up my outlook email. I've had the same problem on the other Desire Roms too. For some reason it just fails to set up the account and I'am forced to use Touchdown, but I prefer the built in email app. Anyone else??
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sneaky_zekey:
lol,how do you find OP files on mediafire
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Adding that the OPs righttt now. Hold onto that framework-res. Once you flash v14, boot up, then push it. Should work fine.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
do you know if you are using exchange 2010 - i vaguely remember reading that android exchange mail does not like the exchange 2010 version yet.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmdoptesc47:
He posted it earlier in the discussion. Post 42 i think
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sneaky_zekey:
got it,thanks. i skipped right over that page,lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Ahh, do NOT use that. I've disabled it now. I'll be putting up another link later to a testing folder.

Just flashed v14. Clock is good. No boot.img errors. Gonna run it for a while, and then I'll put up link sometime tonight.

On another note, after I get a few more kinks worked out, I'll push the release up to a stable. Over the course of each week, I'll put up testing builds, and at the end of each week, a stable build. How's that sound?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sneaky_zekey:
sounds good, great job so far
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmdoptesc47:
My bad g, didn't mean to lead people to your hosting directory. But I've been running v09 and it works great! Keep up the good work!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Sozin:
Oh man, if the clock is fixed I'll be in heaven. Really loving the rom man, can't wait to flash v14.

Will each new version require a complete wipe? What about the steps about flashing the rom, booting up, and then flashing the new framework?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Clock is definitely fixed =]

Tested:

Edit: Works perfectly.

Remove: Just fine.

Adding too big: Tells me to move it, as expected.

Adding one that fits: Show sup, again, as expected.

I just didn't test out every single clock, but I'd imagine they'd all work xD

I'd highly suggest wiping, just for the least number of errors. It's about, say 20 minutes to restore apps and whatnot. Seems worth it too me for the stability.

Ah, and the install is as simple as can be. Download ONE zip. Flash it. Tada! (Well, backup / wipe as well... lols)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
As promised, screenies in 2nd OP.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Sozin:
Clock is fixed, AND a single flash? You're getting me so worked up gmichawlow I don't know what to do with you.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Haha, whoah there buddy, just take it eeasssyyyy. Lol. I don't feel TOO accomplished yet since I was the one who broke the clock xD And made two flashes necessary! xD

Anyways, all fixed now. In hindsight, this should've been the first beta release. Meh, beta is beta.

Off to dinner and more testing! Doing reboots and hot reboots and whatnot lols.

To test:

All shutdown / reboot functions.

GMail sync.

Htc Sense acc sync.

MMS.

Anything else I should check?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BarackMitzvah:
Actually, someone else over on that IncDoes thread, posted a fix for the camcorder w/o 720p, is it still worth switching over? And battery life is huuuge for me, and the battery on my current Rom bloooows

Droid Incredible AMOLED

IncDoes Desire Z 1.1 + 1.2 Patch
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Sozin:
Syncing and MMS are the only two things I'd like to know work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Whoareyou:
Wifi, bluetooth and 720p, oh and does the camera use 5m or 8m, and you never answered my offer, is that a yes or a no?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cooksalot:
AWWW, come on! When I was a Junior in high school we nerds were locking ourselves into the business management classroom so we could get the computer all to ourselves and write code. LOL!:D I see nothing wrong with it. Mind you the newest computer back then was a TSR-80! :eek: No wait that came out when I was a college freshman? What was that computer we had in high school?:confused: Gee, I guess I'm getting old too. :o
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmdoptesc47:
Wifi = Yes

Bluetooth = Yes as far as I can tell

720p = No, I haven't seen it work on any new Sense ROM yet. But 800x480 is good quality audio which I think makes up for it.

Camera = 8 megapixels; camera seems to be fully working.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Battery life is tremendous. Left it unplugged overnight and only 3% decline. ~5 hours awake, closer to 2.5 if lots of surfing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
For typing, you're using IME_MOD? That has been lagless for me.

Oh yeah, it has this weird whitish thing, I'll try and fix after dinner.

As for screen brightness, there should be no lag going upwards (increasing brightness), but there always seems to be lag good downwards (decreasing brightness). The easiest way is to just turn you screen on and off.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
G, sent you PM with my feedback
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Nmincredible:
I did exactly as you said in the instructions, but it didn't work the first couple of times
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
Can't download it atm, not enough battery life to do so. I'll flash it as soon as I can though!

And darn you and your full wipes!

Lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Nmincredible:
One odd thing I noticed, is after you invoke the camera the screen goes full bright then slowly goes back to auto
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Teh_Higgins:
HTC IME keyboard wouldn't pop up (as there was no check box to enable it in the first place) until i installed the Gingerkeyboard. Was able to switch to the gingerbread keyboard no problem after that. First impressions are good. :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
cant get htcsense.com to find my phone or ring it. anybody else having issues with that?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
I think that is still a UK-only thing for now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
htcsense.com is buggy even for Desire Z/HD users. Try removing and readding your HTC sense account.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Teh_Higgins:
htcsense.com is very buggy.

Tried to lock my phone, and after 10 min it still hadn't changed anything.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Yeah, reports all over the DZ and DHD forums about it.

Mmm, on my way home now, vPublic will come after I edit the spacing of things.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Teh_Higgins:
Would it be a flash-over (of the test build), or require a wipe?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
I'll release a flashover along with a full zip. Gotta take care of my testers =]
[Droid Incredible Android Development] liquidi3ladz:
Judging from the screenshots it seems like in RC2 I wont have to replace services.jar for transparency or add back any files into framework-res.apk? :]]]]]]] That's be awesome. :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
After installing a keyboard, you can use the default keyboard you included in the rom.

Also, I don't know if it's just me or whatever but I can't figure out how to change the notification power control widgets lol.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jasonxlee01:
Pretty stable so far. For people having issues with keyboard, follow the instructions. After that reboot phone. It worked for me after i rebooted. Also a minor bug i found. When changing wallpapers, some of the words get cut off. I uploaded a screenshot. This is also minor, but when i drag notification bar, it gets laggy sometimes. Is it something to do with the power widgets mod?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jasonxlee01:
Go to system/customize and create a text file called widget.txt and on the first line, add stuff you want. For example mine is "toggleWifi|toggleMobileData|toggleSync|toggleBrightness|toggleAirplane|toggleAutoRotate" without quotes

I did all this in Root Explorer. However you can make the file on your computer and ADB push it. Make sure the text is on first line only.

Reboot
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Transparency is included =) framework-res.apk decompiles perfectly now, all apks do :D

haha, INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS!!

Yeah, I noticed that. It's a result of the notification power widgets. A bit too tricky for me to fix right now though. Effort vs Reward, you know? xD

As for the notification power lag, JsChiSurf made the widgets update everytime you pull down. If you had no issues with RC-1.2 with reboots, try using Ziggy's kernels. They have better performance. The only reason they're not included is because some ran into reboots with it.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS!! xP
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Teh_Higgins:
Don't see anything about the unthrottled 3G in your change log. Should i flash the modified services file?

Wouldn't be an issue if my download speed didn't go from 500kBs to 2400kBs. :p
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
NOOO. Do NOT flash it. I'll have to make my own, this services.jar is different.

Gah, I have good news and bad news.

Bad news, there is no special flashover for vTester > vPublic.

Good news, vPublic can be flashed over vTester.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Teh_Higgins:
Haha ok i won't flash it.

So testers will be able to simply flash over the public RC2? Groovy.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
Yessssssssssssssss.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jasonxlee01:
My automatic brightness is still a bit flaky. Sometimes gets extremely dark. And a bit laggy. Not a big problem though. I just set it at a set brightness.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Fixed that =]

'night all, vPublic coming tomorrow.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
*Edit* never mind XD

Only thing I've come across is the small thingy when choosing a new wallpaper.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jasonxlee01:
This is kinda off-topic, but for the gingerbread keyboard that works on Z roms that someone posted earlier, is there a way to edit the dictionary for autocorrect. Its annoying how ALL my contacts are in the dictionary. And some weird words. Like hagar, hausdoff, pabst, etc
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
Hurrrrrrrrryyyy! I want it noooooooow! Hahaha! I just flashed Wes's version, and it's not bad, but I am just used to using yours. So gimme!

;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Haha, just finishing up cool Rosie custom remap, then I'll release =)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
Say whaaaaaaaaaaaat? Even though I'll end up ripping her out, I'm excited to see it!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Lol, ripping her out??

EDIT: ooohh, Rosie ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Gahhh, gonna be like 2-5-10 minutes late, need to upload Rosie mods =]
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
Hahahaha! Yeah, I'll use it for a bit, but she's getting booted after a while. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Go and get it =], link in OPs.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ltbakken:
Downloading!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] redsunrising:
Woot! Downloading!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Don't download the Rosie Mods quite just yet. Gimme 5 minutes =)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ltbakken:
I suppose its the least i could do
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
lol, Rosie Mods are good to go, d/l at will! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lazysleepyboi:
this might be a noob question, but what does rosie really do? Is it just screen orientation?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Rosie is the launcher. The custom Rosie allows remapping of the right Rosie button to anything =)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dpwhitty11:
Everything is working great over here, G.

:)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Phew. Haha, I saw your post and was like "OMG, not BUGGSSS!!" xP

This RC-2 should really be a "Stable" now, hardly any bugs left (hopefully) :P

Off to finish my homework, I was doing this the whole winter break xD

I'll check back every now and then, enjoy! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] krzykwa:
Random reboots

I am having random reboots, I wiped prior to install. Any help would be appreciated.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Nmincredible:
Great work... every update is like getting a new and BETTER phone... and all this from a junior in High School.. Holy Crap..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Probably the kernel. Try HeyItsLou's kernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] liquidi3ladz:
did you include the unthrottled services.jar? if not ill whip one up when I get home.. honesty I haven't had time to look at the changelog :p. stupid work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Oops, here it is. I'll add it to the OP later.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] krzykwa:
Tried chad and ziggy's kernels with no luck. What version of Lou's should I try.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Yeah, those two are known to sometimes cause issues. #6 has had no issues reported.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
Uhhhh, bizarre. Has anyone experienced a vanishing Market? Mine kinda just disappeared.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Whoah... that's weeeeeird... Hmm, try pulling Vending.apk from the zip and "adb install /path/to/Vending/apk" and see what that does.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
I even checked the system/app folder. It just vanished. But I pulled it from the zip and installed it like I would a normal app. Everything's good now, that was just rull rull weird. Lol

This is just flat out beautiful though. Hell, I'm not a Rosie fan and I have yet to do my anti-Sense run. I'm Uber pleased. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Hmm, it should actually be in /data/app, space saving and whatnot xD But still... that's really weird! xD

Aww, haha, I worked really hard to theme that notification drop-down juuusttt right. Glad you're enjoying it =]

I used to be a Sense-hater, but then after I worked on my own ROM and Rosie and tweaked everything just so, I can't leave it anymore xD
[Droid Incredible Android Development] liquidi3ladz:
Awesome rom dude! Only thing I needed to do was modify Rosie to have 5col. :)

Edit: Remapping the right softkey to long press search key is genius! Major props..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
=] Hmm, is the mod as simple as I think? Is it just an xml edit to "something about all apps view column numbers"?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] liquidi3ladz:
Yeah, changing the # of columns in layout/all_apps_view.xml and values/intergers.xml
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jasonxlee01:
Idk if this was discussed earlier. Sorry if it was. But i was wondering if i have to wipe if im coming from the beta test version.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
There have been no issues reported =] But if you don't have too much data yet, I'd recommend a wipe, just for the peace of mind :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Awesome :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] greenro89:
Wow all the menu options are close together.. kinda different.. but loving everything else in 2.0! Is there a way to mod the power widget to add maybe a splash of color?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] theguitarguy58:
Best Desire rom for the Incredible !
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Yup, coming soon =]

I just wanted a theme that would match everyyything, and the only one I could come up with was black/white.

My favorite color happens to be green, so a green themed one should be coming soon, followed by other colors :] Don't worry, it won't be too gaudy or anything, nice and subtle and quiet.

Yeah, it's a result of the notification power widget, changes lots of framework files. I'll try and get rid of that later, or at least make it optional.

Awww, thanks =)

Haha, I spent my whole winter break on this instead of doing my hw, so now I'm up latteeeeeee :P Man, New Years Resolution: Stop procrastinating.

Hmm, I'ma add that to my siggy to remind me! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mmmboba:
better keyboard demo

hi i was just wondering why the betterkeyboard demo (multitouch/gingerbread autocorrect) doesn't work? doesn't seem like i can get it to work in any desire z rom =(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
It's the different Sense framework that doesn't have support for Latin_IME. There's a modded GB keyboard in the Themes and Apps section though, that does work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] redsunrising:
G I love the "Don't Use This (Please!)" made my day after mounting haha. I assume it's still okay if we're just trying to mount the SD card.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] redsunrising:
Alright noob question, do we just flash this or do we need to go into the file directory to replace the .jar? I know you said you'd add it later, but if one more informed than I could post some instructions I'd appreciate it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jskolm:
Just flash it. :) then wait. it will take like 10 minutes to boot after replacing the services.jar file.
