[Q] Virtuous Unity 1.27 - Anything else to install ???

Hi,
I am a noob to customised rom.
Virtuous Unity 1.27 is my first room and it is a good rom with most of the apps that I see forumers are expecting.
I am just wondering if there are more apps make the phone robust.
Thank you in advance.
Warmest Regards,
Max

I installed the CRT effect, is useless, but is nice to see.

You might want to tell us where to get it?
Can't find it in the market, nor on the Virtuous website...

Go to menu - settings - application - manage applications, you can see the remove applications and use it.

Do any of you guys have a problem editing the list of locations in the weather app on this ROM?
I installed it last night, everything works great but I can't update the weather app with multiple locations.
Also - how do you guys find battery life with this ROM and is there anything that we can do to improve it?

Battery life is pretty good, and the update for 1.29.0 just arrived so maybe you could update to the latest version.

Did you guys notice that the Voice Search is no longer working after flashing 1.27.0? or is it just my phone? COme to think of it, I didn't check if it was working before I flashed my phone.

maybe you should read the change log first...it helps a lot to know what you'll get after rom flashing..

Yes did realize that voice search is not working, not fixed at 1.29.0 yet...

Any ideas whether the second pack can be installed on 1.29.0?

I'll try, performing a backup right now just to be safe.
Will give you an update once i've checked if everything works.
Edit: I've installed it and everything seems to work,
everything still looks right and the windows animations are neat (not entirely my taste though).
Don't know if there might be anything wrong with in the long run though, so don't just rely on me.

[Q] Rooted phone, now what?

Hi folks!
Very new noob here and very curious about what else I can do now that I've rooted my Inspire 4g. I used attn1 hack kit and it took me roughly 30 minutes to complete the root process.
So, first question is - I've noticed, and already read about it, that my wifi is no longer working and that I need to do something.....yes I'm a noob and I'm not sure what exactly I need to do to get my wifi feature working again.
Second - What else can I do now with a rooted phone other than the tethering/wifi hotspot features? Any cool apps? Any updated core (not sure of term) program that will replace the default image loaded with attn1 hack kit?
I'm honestly completely content with what attn1 hack kit did minus the wifi.
So basically looking to fix my wifi issue, i can connect to networks but can't use them, and also looking to tweak/speed up phone even more and load some cool apps.
I apologize for being a noob.

if you want, you can try the rom in my signature....
in all honesty, try every rom out there for your phone. see which one works for you

You have a lot you can do still, read around these forums, use the search, and read the stickies, they'll help you out a lot. The first thing I'd recommend looking into is flashing a new ROM (the "core program"), which should take care of your wifi problem.
Just remember, most questions you'll have have been answered at some point, always search a few different ways before posting multiple threads asking questions.
But good luck! Welcome to being rooted, once you learn what you can do you'll realize why everyone recommends it. As for root apps, ROM Manager is must have IMO, makes flashing a lot easier, Titanium Backup is good, Root Tools is pretty useful (although on some custom ROMs like CM7 there are easier ways to do most of the stuff it can do), and SetCPU if you want to overclock your CPU.

My favorite thing about being rooted, other than flashing roms, is setcpu. With a Rom that supports it, you can overclock and underclock. I underclock when the screen is off and it helps battery life immensely. Just be careful with overclocking. Some phones do better with it. I never overclock past 1.2 ghz.

I stick to 1.3 max and I've never had a problem. My kernel can go up to 1.9 But that's just unnesseccessarry.

Did you flash the stock ROM (w/ or w/o SL) from his thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042
I was previously running it and didn't have any issues with WiFi.

The very first thing you need to do is flash a rom. The hack kit leaves you with the downgraded rom, which is strictly for the exploit during the root process. It is not intended to be left on the phone. You can flash back to the latest stock rooted rom or find a custom modded rom to try out.

Honestly you have tons of options. I have had a rooted phone for a long time and just now joined the site. I have been reading all the posts for months now and have gotten pretty good at it all. You first need to flash a new rom and learn how to tweak the base roms. Then once you master that, you will start flashing new radios and RILs. Then you will learn to mix and match kernals and roms. Then you will start to overclock and undervolt your cpu for performance enhancements and battery saving. There is a ton to do but reading the post in the development section will get you where you need to be. It will take some time but you will learn it all. Rom Manager is probably the most needed app of them all to start with.

Thanks for the replies folks!
I've gone and flashed my second rom! LOL...I know....what a young'en
I went with the Android Revolution ROM and I gotta say...loving the battery life so far...much better than stock.
I'm looking at changing the main theme and would like to go with the Code Red one. The pre reqs are - DEODEXED ROM, Root, S-Off, DHD Sense ROM, Clockwork Mod and ROM Manager.
So question - I now know that I've got all of the above met except for the DEODEXED ROM. Not sure what this is....I have searched the forums and wasn't able to come up with a clear answer as to what this means.
Oh...lesson learned...back up my contacts before I flash my next ROM. I lost it all! lol

Just a bump for some help.

all custom roms are deodexed. you do have to be careful when applying themes though. most of them are specific for a specific build of a rom. you cant always apply any theme to any rom

Android Revolution is fully de-odexed. So go ahead and try the theme you want. It should work fine.

[Q] Android RevolutionHD 6.02 ICS - Minor Issues

Hi all
big lover of all things xda and have been using the site regularly for all my htc hero, desire and now sensation roms. I love how you can nearly always find the answer to any question or problem you may have in this excellent forum. Hence not having to ask any questions before and not being able to post in the proper developer forum.
I have just flashed ARHD 6.0.2 ICS (from ARHD 3.6.8) on my sensation and it runs okay, but not nearly as smoothly as 3.68. There are 3 key things that I cannot seem to fix. 1) Go launcher pro and a few other aspects of the rom are pretty laggy. I've tried forcing GPU in develop options and a few other things 2) Apps launch immediately, but the settings page and any option within it, waits at least 0.5secs before opening. and 3) If I go to settings\applications\running tab, I get a FC and it says "Unfortunately , Settings has stopped".
These 3 things are enough for me to go back to 3.6.13 for the time being, but Im loving the little ICS touches, especially the new gmail app and would love to keep it.
Has anyone else had this behaviour? Any thoughts on a remedy? I installed the updated firmware, and did a superwipe, all as required.
All comments much appreciated.
Cheers, Dom

Hi,
6.0.3 is due today,and it will have new kernels.
Maybe a more stable 1.5 GHZ version
This will certainly iron out any lag.
Worth waiting for ,before you jump ship.

How to reflash back to ARHD 3.6.12?
How do you re-flash to the ARHD 3.6.12?
Do you just flash Superwipe, flash radio and flashback again with ARHD 3.6.12?
As simple as that?
I also already flash the new ICS. I love the new ICS, but for now I prefer use the ARHD 3.6.12 because it is more stable. I have a doubt in reflashing back again to ARHD 3.6.12. Is it as simple as that?
Please assist me.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Yes,Super wipe and reflash.
The ICS firmware and radio will probably work well with 3.x.x
You may need to change the RIL to suit your area.

Thanks malybru, I'll try 6.0.3 when I get a chance. I've not flashed an RIL though, arent they included in the rom if you flash the correct radio? My signal does drop from time to time, and re connects when I change from 3g to gsm and back again. Different radios don't seem to fix it.
pefenky, yes as malybru says, that is how you would go back to 3.6.12 (or 3.6.13 now). Next time though, if you have a stable rom running. Do a clockworkmod backup and then when you flash test roms you can just go back to how it was before if you dont like the new one really easily.
cheers

Love my Sense, but...

I got small problem. I love the Sense but is not available(working) for the slide. The only one that I found was the Mike, but is old. I would like to learn how to port a rom. I spend hours Google the subject and found nothing related to slide and sense. Most - if not all - are related to CM.
The stock sense 3.0 works fine, but lack some esthetic and improvement. I would like to "make" 4.1 rom, but have no clues how. Any one know a good guide for beginners?. Even at my age ( old fart) I am willing to learn just need a "push" into right directions. Thanks.

MIRROR THREAD! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30281206&postcount=3

Sorry for the "quiet time". I was reading and downloaded some roms, but still do not found any good quide to rom making. I had partial success with rom kitchen. I took my stock rom and made one without ruu. That way I can flash it - if need without flashing radio. I added root and busybox, then zipalign. For some reason, the kitchen refuse to de-oxed. The root manager lite did not install. I had to side loaded. I found a quide to adjust transparency, but it is for evo phone. Will try that. I found couple of guides to make my own rom, but all are for non-sense roms. I want to learn to port sense rom. The other interesting info I found. The slide have Expresso UI. Variant of sense, but not true sense. Could that be a problem?. Thanks.

Do what you want but if it were me I'd learn to fly in a Piper Cub. You can always graduate later to a Lear jet. Good Luck!

You COULD Google "Porting Sense ROMs" & it will give you plenty of selections.

[Q] turn off HTC Message auto-convert to MMS

Hi to all!
I know this problem has already been discussed in other forums, but I can't make it work! I know, I'm a complete newby in this matter! I've found a solution in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065452
but I can't go after n° 6!
And I've tried other sms apps from the market, but I don't like them, and sometimes they also don't send some messages.
I'm running JB Viper XL 3.2.8 with stock kernel, and I wanted to ask if someone could make a mod to the stock message app that turns off this auto conversion to mms after a certain lenght, or if some Venom developer could add it as a tweak, perhaps also in the new sense 5 rom
Thanks to everyone for this forum!

Try the Sense 5 Toolbox which is an Xposed module, it has that option. Find it here. Please note you must first install the Xposed Framework for this to work.
Sent from my Evita

Wow I had never heard of.. frameworks!
hehehe
Thanks!
I looked at the page of the toolbox, and it does a few other things aside from the sms-mms conversion, and I'm just concerned that they could.. let's say "interfere" with the Venom Tweaks, since I'm running a Venom rom. If I install this module, will I be able to enable just the sms-mms part, or will they all be enabled?

You can enable just the sms part.
Sent from my Evita

Thanks timmaaa, I'll try it!

Mmm just another thing: since I cannot flash a new rom in this period, and now I'm on sense 4+, do you know if there's a sense 4+ module that does the same?

Why can't you flash another ROM?

Too busy at work! Haven't much time

Ahh ok. I'm not sure about other xposed modules, but if you Google search there is a compilation thread that shows up.

Nothing..
There's just one, but it's for Samsung.
I'll have to wait until I can flash a new sense 5 rom
It would be a nice adding to the Venom Tweaks, though
