Important Notes

• If you are experiencing random freezes and/or reboots, this is likely due to your device being incapable of handling our overclocking defaults. Download and apply this flashable patch, which will reduce the maximum CPU frequency to 1Ghz and likely eliminate this issue.
  
  
• You must complete a full wipe prior to installing this ROM the first time. We also recommend wiping between upgrades, but you are welcome to try upgrading without a wipe. However, no support will be provided if you file a bug without having wiped prior to submission.

Bugs and Errors

To ease the process of reporting bugs to the team, we made a public bugtracker where you can report the bugs you found. Please make sure you read all the existing entries there to avoid doubling the errors.

Download :: Changelog :: More Information

(Official Website of Virtuous ROM)

Download Patch to v1.31.x to v1.31.3
(Fixes: In-Call Mic, Mobile Data, Boot Loops, Voice Search)

Update Radio, Touchpad Firmware, Clockwork Recovery

This is the firmware which accompanies the FOTA. You can apply the update before or after installing the ROM. If you're having trouble flashing the ROM in the first place, then apply this first.

1. Download this PG32IMG.zip (MD5:de10c06482eaf9b3d0d058b607e2568c)
   
   
2. Place it on your sdcard.
   
   
3. Reboot into the bootloader. There are many ways to do this: Run 'adb reboot bootloader' or power down the device completely, hold the volume down and hold the power button to turn it back on.
   
   
4. Select bootloader from the menu.
   
   
5. You will see a green verification bar along the right side of the screen, push volume up when prompted to verify the update.
   
   
6. Profit.

Current Known Issues (updated 8/2/2011, 9:00PM PST)

1. Some users stuck in reboot loops. (Fixed in v1.31.2).
   
   
2. MMS not working. (See post #3 for a workaround)
   
   
3. Voice Search causes a crash. (Fixed in v1.31.2)
   
   
4. Visual voicemail is absent and will not install from the Market. (Invalid, could not reproduce)

I'll start working on these. I'm fairly convinced the boot loop issue is kernel related. It's the most critical of the 3 and the one I'll focus on first.

Instructions to fix MMS (by xelsewherex)

1. Go to the market and download apn backup and restore (Market Link APN B&R).
   
   
2. Create a folder on your sdcard named APNBackupRestore if it doesn't exist already.
   
   
3. Copy this file to APNBackupRestore folder (If you aren't doing this on desktop, hit menu now in xda and choose browser. File is an xml and your phone will not know what to do with it. Long press the link and use 'save link').
   
   
4. Run APN Backup Restore and press Delete Apns and then Restore from the downloaded file.
   
   
5. You should be good to go from there. MMS should now work and the softkey lights do as well.

Nice!! Downloading now!

Good job rmk!

I may have to check this one out, I wish there was a way to integrate Theme Chooser into Sense ROMs! I would use Sense a lot more!

What do you mean? lol

I think the HTC personalize system is just as customizable and has plenty of options for themes.

I have a silly question but when u flash a new Rom. And it comes with its own kernel. Such as this one. When u decide to revert back to ur original Rom does it also flash ur original kernal back or does that have to be flashed separately in itself? Sorry for the trivial question I assure ya I'm not a complete noob

So this is diffrent then the last version ? Anyone test this out yet ?
