I ended up having to use astro to copy the pictures from the internal memory to the SD card, so that I could get them off of the phone. I must be missing something, but couldn't see the internal memory while hooked to the pc.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Logiic:
I was going to try Lou's #9 but most people in this thread have mentioned using Lou's #8 so I just flashed that kernel instead. So far it is smooth as butter. Better transitions, no random reboots; it has gone to the loading/warm z screen twice now (faaaaar less than with Ziggy's kernel) but it hasn't been a major issue. When it has gone to the loading screen everything loads much faster anyway. Also, all my apps seem to load and open faster as well.

One positive thing I have to say about Ziggy is that on the stock kernel I had much better battery life than on Lou's currently. Tomorrow I plan on resetting the battery values from the ROM and possibly tinkering with underclocking it a bit to see if that helps (lost 6% the first time I pulled it off the charger in >10 min with the screen off).

Did you wipe wipe and then triple wipe data/cache/dalvik before flashing a nightly or did you just flash the nightly over it? I've been able to flash the nightlies over each other fairly successfully but when I first flashed 4/1 nightly over RLS1 I had a lot of problems like the one's you describe.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Logiic:
On a side note one issue that I have run into after switching from the stock Ziggy to Lou's is that on occasion when switching from portrait to landscape for apps like GPS, widgets (like settings toggle widgets) will have disappeared completely from my homescreen.

I'm not sure if this is a kernel issue or a ROM issue though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
I think there is a G-Script somewhere for mounting EMMC to computers. You might want to look into hunting it down to make things easier on you from now on. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jprow507:
Does anyone have a link to where to download Ziggys latest kernel if I want to switch back from Lou's?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
Find the one you need from this list: Ziggy's DInc Kernels
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
If im not mistaken, all those links after december are dead. I use #162, great kernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
Ignore :)

10char
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
Uh, ignore me or you? Lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
Bahaha! Me, lol.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
Cool, although i do have the 3/11 bfs wo havs on my sd card. That thing aint gettin deleted, ive run cm7 with it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] YamiYaiba:
No, I didn't triple wipe it lol. I did do a full wipe/dalvik/cache when I installed 4/11 (my first nightly). Then I applied 4/14 on top of it. I don't really have the time to reconfigure everything from full wipes right now, so I won't be doing one again for at least a month. I have my honors thesis and finals (blah blah blah lol). 4/14 with Ziggy's is running pretty well for me, except the network failure and and battery. I'm never away from a charger for more than 4 hours though, and I have 2 spare batteries (and old Eris battery and another OEM Inc one).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
I get great battery with ziggys
[Droid Incredible Android Development] YamiYaiba:
My battery life has always been abysmal. On a good day, I get 6-7 hours.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DustinBooyah:
You know, I see a lot of people switching kernals and having issue after issue. I personally haven't switched kernals once and I've had nothing but success... at the very most I have to fix permissions to eliminate a force close issue.

I know the ROM itself bounces between kernals as builds progress, and some builds have been faster than others... honestly that may or may not be in my head. But it really is crazy how my phone works well and is smooth as butter on 4-6 with 20 hour battery life while some of you have a disaster on your hands as soon as you're flashed.

I have to say that if your data is important to you, then I would either be as tedious as possible with everything or wouldn't be downloading nightlies. Every time I flash I expect nothing to be there... all I have is a Titanium Backup with my downloaded apps, and when I hit "restore missing apps" I do app only, no data. Everything else like contacts and texts and stuff pretty much just sync up and I might hit and enter a few things in manually.

It sucks having to re-enter everything again, but I figure it would suck worse for the phone to flip out and basically have a seizure from me trying to avoid all that configuration.

If you're having FC's out the a-hole go to the ROM Manager app and hit fix permissions, that's what its there for. It works for me every time (which has been twice since the 6th) Maybe it wont help some of you, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Battery life of course depends on the user, but the rule of thumb about no vibrating whatsoever (even from texts and rings) and keeping auto-brightness toggled couldn't be any more on point. I had smart keyboard on the bare minimum haptic feedback because I like it, sure enough I died way earlier than usual. Sucked.

Im sorry for throwing in a post that might seem kinda lecture-ish or obvious to some, but I just felt the need to chime in since my phone has been cooperating with me really well. Ether way good luck to y'all, I'm having a good time with this ROM so hopefully you'll get to the point where you are too!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] usn.mustanger:
Well, dammit. I really wanna try this ROM, but it appears that my phone just doesn't. As I posted earlier, performing a clean install of RLS1 resulted in my phone hanging on the white htc Incredible boot screen. I waited a while, pulled battery, rinse, repeat, same thing. I just couldn't get it running.

Now...so I decided to try the latest (4/16) nightly. I first did a full wipe (for what feels like the 15th time today), flashed the CWM2 zip as instructed in the post (since I have CWM 3.0.0.8), and then flashed the nightly. Well, same story. Hangs on the white htc Incredible boot screen. I waited 30 minutes this time.

So I'm sure this ROM is great, and I REALLY wanted to try it, but like I said, my phone doesn't wanna play. Bastard.

Still open for any help/suggestions, though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
What's your setup?

Radio?

HBOOT Version?

Screen Type?

Also, try reverting to the actual 2.X.X.X CWR. 2.5.0.5 is the best IMHO. Here's a link to it from my dropbox: CWR 2.5.0.5 PB31IMG.zip
[Droid Incredible Android Development] usn.mustanger:
Radio: 2.15.00.07.28

HBoot: 0.92

Screen type: Super AMOLED

S-Off
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
Weird. My exact setup. Try flashing from a legit 2.X CWR recovery. I've got a link to 2.5.0.5 in my above post.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] usn.mustanger:
Yeah, this is very weird. I just flashed the recovery you linked to, then wiped and flashed the nightly again, and same thing. This is so frustrating, and there seems to be no explanation, and clearly I'm an isolated case here. Dammit.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
I would try to flash a different z rom and see if that works if it doesn't than your phone might just not play nice with z roms if it does work than wipe data cache and dalvik cache i usually do it five times each just in case and then flash the latest warm z nightly on a legit cwm 2.5.1.2.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
Try formatting /system under Mounts and Storage. Hell, as long as you've got a legitimate Nandroid of something, format everything in there and then flash the rom. Also, try a new download of it. Past that, I dunno what to tell ya.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NellyG:
You are not alone. I just tried to flash the latest nightly and it got stuck at the same spot. I'll keep researching.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RussianMenace:
Try flashing another kernel after you flash the nightly. My Dinc kept crashing with the nightlies before it could even boot up. Flashed lous #8, now it boots and runs like a champ.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Logiic:
This was going to be my advice exactly. I've run into problems like this in the past (after using CM6 for a while). My phone had trouble flashing z ROMs so I flashed a sense ROM first and then flashed the z after a wipe and I was able to get it to work.

Plus other people also suggested trying a different kernel and trying to flash a new downlaod. The download could be broken for some reason so redownloading it and trying to flash that one wouldn't hurt. Some people have also reported their phones not playing nice with Ziggy's kernel so try flashing one of Lou's (like his #8) before booting up your phone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] texanaustinite:
There is probably a simple solution for this, but for the life of me, I can't remember. Been on AOSP too long...

I did search but couldn't find the answer.

How do I disable the little annoying vibration on a call connect/disconnect?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
There isn't an option in Sense, however this tutorial can help you modify the phone.apk so that it will no longer vibrate. It's for the Hero, but the author describes how to do it, and the process should be compatible. I'd read the whole article, but only follow the instructions for modding phone.apk and resigning systems apps, don't worry about editing the settings menu. I haven't tried this, it's all I was able to find, make a backup before you do anything.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scarfoot:
Lost Keyboard....

Well, I am on the 4/16 nightly, and I must say its awesome so far, and flashed tommytomatoe's stock keyboard, and now I lost my stock keyboard. I had to flash a 3rd party keyboard and I am back in business....

Without having to reflash the ROM, does anyone have a stock keyboard I can flash or have and suggestions on how I can fix this?

Thanks,

-Sf-
[Droid Incredible Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Well, I got bored, and I've never modded an apk before, so I thought I'd try my hand at this. I did not get a vibrate on connect, seems successful.

You will need testsign.jar for this to work.

Edit: backup first of course.

Just place both attached files in your SDK tools folder, change the extension of the .txt to .bat and run the batch, it could take a while to complete. After a few minutes the phone will reboot into recovery, you will need to do a Dalvik wipe and a factory reset.

This batch file is a modified version of the code provided by Nieylana and I followed their instructions to mod the apk.

Hope this works for you :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RussianMenace:
Has anyone found a fix for Pandora sounding terrible? Sounds very muffled. I tried switching it to "high" quality in the settings and there is no change. This only happens in this ROM (haven't tried other Z roms).

Had the same issue with older nightlies, went back to CM7 and it worked fine, but I miss the camera and 720p recording so I keep coming back to this rom lol. However, the Pandora issue is becoming very annoying.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ecatapano:
So restoring apps/data could cause it to randomly reboot? I'm using the same ROM 3/27 and haven't had a problem other then a random reboot. I was about to finally get an older version of mail.apk to load and work!! So I would love to stick with this ROM just as long as I can figure out why its rebooting.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jprow507:
You'll find different opinions on whether or not it's okay to restore app data. Doing so can cause Force Closes but I don't think it will cause random reboots ... you definitely don't want to restore system app data unless you are going from one version of a ROM to another version (I used to restore Sense data like my screen setup between version of Skyraider and had no issues).

I think the random reboots can be more attributed to the kernel used so i would recommend that you try flashing another kernel ... maybe the stock Sense kernel, Lou's #8, or Chad's kernel ... I'm using Lou's and 4/14 nightly now and so far no random reboots.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
I would just like to say that I cannot stand Sense. I loathe it, abhor it, detest it, hate it, and it makes me.sick...

But I like this. :)

This is what Sense should be like all the time, not just on a Z Rom.

I have no shame in admitting that the moment a Sensation port is out, I will be all over that thing like a caveman to a steak.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
Totally that sense 3.0 is better than stake hehe im trying to port some images over so i can use them for a sense 3.0 looking dock for the stock theme i have as an optiional install.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
I don't think I've ever seen a piece of technology with the complete and utter sex appeal that the Sensation has. Lol

I want it naaaooooo! Lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] uninc4709:
I installed this just recently and now titanium backup is saying it cant get root. any ideas? hboot says i still have s-off but im not to sure what to try
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
Have you hit the Problems? button inside TB?

Try updating everything within that window.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Lol. Amen to that. My upgrade isn't until 2012 anyway. So who knows what will be out then. Got the Incredible on launch day W/2yr contract. Now I wish I could have done a one yr contract, but oh well. I've heard there going to get rid of those?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GBerg2119:
Installed this yesterday and its very nice. Just a some things I've noticed. I've had a couple random reboots. I can't send mms messages. And occasionally it will get laggy. Is this something a kernel change can fix?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
mms is working just doesn't send sometimes and yes the kernel could fix the lagg and im not sure about the random reboots
[Droid Incredible Android Development] texanaustinite:
Wow! Thanks for this! Don't have my PC right now, out of town. but i might give this a try in a few days. Don't suppose it could be made into a flashable.?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GBerg2119:
I don't know about mms. I keep getting an error saying generic network failure. What's a solid kernel for this Rom? I'm also getting spotty reception. Most of the time i have no bars in the status bar
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NellyG:
I fixed my problem. I wasn't paying attention and downloaded the supersonic nightly instead of the incredible one. Flashed the correct nightly and I'm back in business. That's what I get for flashing roms at 3 am.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_nivesout:
I think switching from wifi to 3g or vice versa has been known to help with MMS. As far as kernels, I used HeyItsLou #8 and #9 on this ROM with good results.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
I'll see what I can do, I don't know how to preserve the certificate on the Phone.apk, what the batch file does is to resign all the system apps so the system will allow the new Phone.apk permissions. The only thing I might be able to do is create a .zip that will replace them all, so it will be a fairly large download.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GBerg2119:
I noticed 8 and 9 don't have multi touch. Do they provide a big increase in performance?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] texanaustinite:
If you can do it, I'll buy the beer...

Although it may be more trouble than it's worth.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_nivesout:
Just depends on the phone. The same kernel probably won't run the same on every device. Best to just try em all and see what offers the best combo of battery life and performance. For sense kernels you have Chad's incredikernel 12/23, HeyItsLou kernels, and Ziggy's.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
is there any fix for working led notifications?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_nivesout:
Download blink from the market. Works for missed call, SMS, and battery notifications. Does the LED work for email notifications?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
Yea email led works but i just pulled uberblink for G's Uber Z rom i had laying around. Seems to be working now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
lol, I'm in it for the challenge. I've never made an flashable .zip and the update-script is not cooperating with me. I tried making my own, no go, so I ripped the META-INF folder from a WarmZ nightly, it worked, but I got some weird errors from CWM and 4x bootloop before it stabilized. I'll tinker some more tomorrow.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Hey. I'm not sure what you are trying to package in your update.zip...but I don't recommend using the meta-inf from a full Rom update.zip. The script contains lines that wipe, reformat, and other thing that will mess up your set up. You should use the meta-inf from a theme or mod that will be more comparable. The scripts in mods often contain only a couple of lines that usually involves placing packages in specified directories (ie system/app or system/framework).

The better method is to download a mod (one of mine, myn, or inc) and use it as your base. Open it up in 7zip or betterzip and replace the necessary files. Within meta-inf is the updater-script. You can modify the lines in it that begin with ui_print. I recommend you only changing those lines. The other lines provide instructions for the recovery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_nivesout:
Is that a modified version of blink or a separate app altogether?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
probably it works and it's simple.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RegnierD:
Care to post that apk? :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
I have a feeling this is just a renamed version of blink but ok.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
Correct.... blink is in the market and it is simple and it works.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Thanks :) I used the files from one of your mods and it flashed successfully. Unfortunately just flashing the Phone.apk results in no phone, probably because of the system certificate issues Nieylana mentioned. So I tried to create a .zip that replaces all the system apks with resigned copies, and the phone won't boot past the splash screen, it did get far enough for adb, but no further. Sorry texanaustinite I think this is beyond me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] uninc4709:
I tried with root checker aand it said that superuser was not installed properly? Ill try to reflash this. Anyone have any suggestions?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Logiic:
I had the same problem when I first flashed 4/14. I went to the superuser apk and opened it and then went into ROM manager and ran fix permissions. After I rebooted everything worked smoothly. I'm not sure why it happened or why what I did solved the problem...Haven't had any problems since though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] texanaustinite:
No prob. Appreciate the effort. I'll just live with it... everyone else does.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] azgoofball:
Hey Guys, I'm running 4/1 and I noticed a weird issue,, figured I'd ask to see if anyone else is getting it -

When I'm on a phone call, I'll get an alert that I have an incoming phone call coming in from the person Im on the phone with. Anyone else getting this? Again, Im running 4/1 and ziggy's last kernel,
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Logiic:
I just got that today for the first time and I'm on 4/14. I've heard of the ghost call issue. I'm not sure what causes it. I'm on Lou's #8 so I'm assuming it's not a kernel issue.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Zalatorisaurus:
Flashed again today because I wanted to try the new nightly, but for some reason, the wifi will not connect. Stuck in obtaining IP address of any access point. Tried again with a fresh flash and still no go. I'll try again when I get home.

Sent from my awesome sauce Incredible using CM7
[Droid Incredible Android Development] terpsarlington:
you are probably getting a call from someone else. You probably hear a beap indicating you are getting a call and yet the picture and phone number does not change. This is because on z ROMS, call waiting does not work when on the "call screen". see your notification you probably have a missed call from the other person.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] azgoofball:
I checked my call log and I dont have any missed calls. It doesnt happen every call but it does happen frequently. I'll try to back out of the call screen and see if it happens more or less.

It's nothing major and I haven't lost a phone connection when it does happen. Just an oddball glitch.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mmtoman:
Does using the HTC hotspot app charge me or is it like the wireless tether app and free?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mmuzzy:
Hey guys. I'm trying out the nightly and I seem to be getting a lot of random reboots. Factory wiped and cleared all cache but... and there it goes again. Is there something I can do to make it more stable? I've browsed the posts and I don't really see any mention of it. Thanks.

I love the feel of the ROM though, very slick!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Experiment with different kernels
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JWhetstone02:
Do the issues people have with the nightlies ROM vary by phone?

I have been flashing these ROMs since 03-30-2011 on a daily basis. Download the newest nightlies on my way to work, download will complete by the time I reach work, and then at work all day I just install, configure and play around with it through many settings and programs.

What I do is:

(running CWM 2.5.1.2)

--wipe data, cache, and dalvik 3 times a piece

--install ROM from sd

--boot up for first time, let sense load, then setup sense and not add an email account at this time

--go through and remove what applications I can by uninstalling

--install gscript lite from my sd card through astro

--using gscript lite. call a script I wrote to remove all the programs/widgets i will never use [works perfect :p ... I can post it if anyone is interested? It beats the hell outta doing it through adb]

--reboot and setup my gmail account and let it load the apps synced with my account

--after everything syncs, I dial #228 option 2 and then I do one normal restart and then enjoy (the #228 isn't necessary, but I do it anyways coming from a Storm2)

I have been 98% successful with these ROMs with only a few SMS and network errors, but I believe that is bc my signal is weak inside the work building.

One thing I have noticed, as someone else I think has mentioned previously is that when you enable WiFi, if you watch, you will lose 3G. But it is only for 2-3 seconds. Everything still works fine.

Does anyone else here flash these ROMs daily?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] USSENTERNCC1701E:
...there isn't a change everyday, the nightlies are automagically compiled whether there are any changes or not, check the both the changelogs first.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] asianbobo15:
Doubt he should be playing with his phone at work anyway.. :P
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JWhetstone02:
Well that makes sense why the change logs aren't updated everyday like the ROMs.

Well I sit at a computer all day, not much programming and support to keep me busy :p ... So I use my time wisely :D
