That exactly what I did, and I managed to flash Virtuous Rom on my routed Desire Z.

If you post exactly where you got stuck, or what happens wrong when you try to flash the ROM, we may find a way to help you.

I am not getting stuck anywhere at all. Everything seems to work fine, however, when the DZ reboots, nothing changes. The phone simply boots back to where it was - as though it was just a soft reset.

Try this:
Download the ROM into your SDCard.
Turn off "fast boot" (settings -> applications -> fast boot).
Turn off your phone.
Reboot into Recovery (hold power + volume down)
Factory reset and flash the ROM.

Hello,

I thank everyone who tried their best to help me.

I have now solved the problem, and have installed virtuous 0.9.5 rom.

What I needed was CWM 3.0 renamed, etc. This did it.

Thanks.

Do you mean the haptic feedback or in calls?

Sent from my G2 cruising at 1.1Ghz

I was speaking up silencing your phone. Like on stock rom you can just vibrate on the lock screen. Now with this.

And to futher update 0.9.5 is great smooth and battery life is awesome. Running standard kernal and its smooth as butter. Makes me wonder the purpose of overclocking up to 1.5 and 1.8 ghz. Its unneccesary if properly coded.

Holy ****. No complaints about the old ROM or kernels but 0.9.5 is really rocking! Unbeleivable speed at stock processor speeds, no slowdown no matter what I throw at it. And the battery seems a lot better but I always calibrate when flashing a new kernel, but so far I can't make a dent in the battery as far as G2/DZ stock batteries go.

Wow. If anything is improved in the public build I humbly ask that its noted in the changelog. You guys will love this one! :)

Does anyone know how to change the boot animation?

Ive tried to put the new one in /data/local and /system/media, and Ive also tried flashing through ClockWork, but no success on Virtuous.

Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

/system/customize/resources/bootanimation.zip. Replace it with a different one, and done.

Thanks!

Part of the reason we're offering the ROM only on IRC right now is to encourage real time participation and feedback. If you're just hopping on IRC just to download the ROM, then disappearing, you're really just hurting what we're trying to achieve here. Yes, you get a copy of the ROM early but you miss the point of why it's on IRC only, entirely.

So please, I ask, if you're not planning to stick around in the IRC channel, don't just hop in to grab the link and leave. If you're enthusiastic enough to try out betas and early releases, we'd hope you would set yourself up with an actual IRC client and regularly participate in the channel. Otherwise, it really is best to wait until we release links here. We're not going to hold back anything if it's ready for the masses, trust me.

I've actually had to ban the freenode web client due to the number of times this has occurred already.

Is there a good one for on the device client by chance?

For Android, I like Andchat: https://market.android.com/details?id=net.andchat
For Windows, mIRC is the most popular http://www.mirc.com/.
For Mac, I liked Colloquy the best http://colloquy.info/.

Sure, though there can be activity at almost any time of day. Your best chance of catching Evil or I participating is in the evenings. Though, we tend to be active at random times during the day as well.

Hi developer,

I'd like to know how to swap text input methods in this virtuous rom.
I'm originally using chinese stock roms and "sym" button is for swapping between Chinese/English inputs.

For virtuous rom, the "sym" button becomes the ".com" function so I currently find no ways to switch inputs.
It is very inconvenient for chinese users.
Are there any solutions/mods I can deal with that?

I can dump a chinese rom for your reference if it helps.
Thank you!

    [ROM][07/18/11] Virtuous Sense v2.0.0 :: Enhanced & Optimized Stock ROM (2.42.405.2)

    Virtuous Sense is a custom ROM for the HTC Vision series of phones (G2, DesireZ, etc). The goal is to provide a simple, Sense-based, mostly-stock ROM based on the official Desire-Z Sense ROM with essential bug fixes and only subtle enhancements. Virtuous started on the HTC Droid Incredible and is currently one of the most popular ROMs for that device. Virtuous for the Incredible has over 6000 users with an established reputation for stability; which we intend to continue for Vision users.

    Features
    • Based off the official DesireZ Sense ROM (WWE 2.42.405.2), deodexed and zipaligned.

    • Pre-rooted with the latest version of Superuser and modified ramdisk to allow adb remount, mock locations, etc.

    • Wifi calling included and fully functional, conditionally installed for T-Mobile USA users only.
    • Optical trackpad unlock/wake.

    • Enhanced reboot options built-in, allowing for booting into recovery, bootloader, hot boot, etc.

    • Virtuous Sense custom kernel with overclocking daemon (no need for SetCPU/Tuner). Screen Off: 245760 / 599040 (conservative). Screen On: 245760 / 998400 (ondemand).

    • IO optimizations such as use of ext4 for all mounts and larger read-ahead buffer for improved sdcard performance.

    • Updated versions of all Market-available apps.

    • All Market-installable apps installed in /data/app. These apps are automatically installed for you both on initial install and after a factory reset/wipe. There are custom scripts to use Android's package manager (pm) to manage these apps, which ensures they are installed properly.

    • Added applications: ChromeToPhone, Google Voice and Titanium Backup. Since these are Market apps, they are automatically installed in /data/app for easy removal if desired.

    • Bloatware, defined as anything you could easily choose to download from the Market yourself, has been removed.

    • Disabled boot animation audio.

    • Automatic Virtuous OTA upgrade notification and installation via ROM Manager.

    I made a flashable version of the newest OTA (2.42.405.4). We have no idea what the changelog looks like, so don't expect anything too different. What this is:

    - the 2.42.405.4 OTA patches merged into the 2.42.405.2 RUU.
    - rooted
    - deodexed
    - zipaligned
    - busybox added
    - init.d support added

    Nothing else. No bloat removed, no custom kernel, no OC daemon, etc. Flash it via recovery (CWM/4EXT). It won't modify your radio or anything like that.

    Version 0.8.0 is now available! Please note that a full wipe is required prior to installation, as the this is a completely new version of Sense.

    This release represents a huge amount of work. We had to redo the entire ROM and ran into several complicated bugs. Quite honestly, the last bug was so frustrating we were about to give up. Fortunately we did not and are able to bring you the absolute latest version of Sense based on Android 2.2.1.

    Enjoy!
