Virtuous Primadonna 1.17.0

Sorry to keep you all waiting on this one, but chrisch1974 spent quite a lot of time after the initial release of Primadonna trying to fix WiFi Hotspot. Sadly he was unsuccessful, so this release is a little later than we would of liked.

We also been unable to fix camera as you all know this should be a lot easier once we get official ICS for devices like the Desire S and HD.

This release reintroduces the Virtuous Tweaks application.
This has again been developed using the HTC Sense SDK and has been built from the ground up by chrisch1974, it not quite as extensive as the Affinity Tweaks app but its early days.

Incredible 2 is still not officially supported, we are working with XDA recognized developer nitsju17 to get it fully functional. Hopefully we can release an incremental update in the coming days that will bring the Inc 2 in line with other devices.

Virtuous Ten Studio: Navigating in smali code

For a long time smali code was hard to handle. Not only the missing highlighting, but also the very limited possibilities of navigating through smali was a key problem for your daily smali work.

This time is over now. Virtuous Ten Studio features powerful navigation commands inside smali code. Just like any other modern IDE you can do several jumps:

  • To classes
  • To the implementation of method calls
  • To the implementation of fields
  • To label targets (GOTOs)

Virtuous Ten Studio: Debugging your phone

One important part of working with smali is debugging the modified apk. The easiest way to do so is using the Logcat. While this is only a minor feature in VTS it is worth pointing it out.

Lets start with a screenshot:



As you can see the Logcat Viewer makes reading Logcats quite a bit easier. You can filter the out by:


  • Verbosity (Warnings, Errors, Debug, etc.)

  • Include text (this text needs to appear in the log entry)

  • Exclude text (this text must not appear in the entry)


Here is a screenshot of a filtered output:
