I don't wanna sound like an ass but WOW you guys load up the Dev when he offers something to you guys WOW

ARE YOU KIDDING? You're able to do all 3 of these things yourself, I could give my phone to a child with absolutely no knowledge of android and that child would be capable of doing this after a short period. It is not difficult in ANY WAY. If you're unable to do this yourself, don't bother rooting your phone. Understand that developing the ROM and everything is already difficult, it's beyond stupid to bother with tasks such as this. What's next? Another member asking for a ROM without these? Lol

He'd obviously try and fix the sim disable bug. I thought that was common sense. As for the icons, perhaps you could do some research and do that yourself as well, changing icons is simple, especially if you already have them prepared.

Opera mini 5 that Russel recomended also has a choice in settings to set to mobile view which will give you " large readable pages" on opening.

AutoKiller 1.2.1 was released yesterday, but i will release a new version before Villain 3.4 comes out, @nprussell you shall upgrade included version ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phanes:
+1 for KAwATA´s statement

Folks be realistic and request things which are development and ROM related. Please keep that Mickey Mouse stuff out of the discussions.

... and +1 for a kitchen demand, that would be big step in Villain evolution.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KAwAtA:
mr fails to do anything himself, simple. start blasting open apks! First of all, what do you mean by coloured icons? I'm sure in almost every phone, icons are coloured. But if you just mean the basic icons on the Legend, well then, blast open those apks! There are guides as well on how to theme stuff. Use them otherwise those poor members posted information for nothing. Unless the Icons for the Legend aren't released anywhere, well don't expect the Dev to do it either unless he has amazing skills and the time to do it.

In case you missed it earlier in the thread; the notes app from the Dragon (it's included in the Modaco Roms) as it's not available on the market
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Kepp it simple but stable. No fancy stuff (except may be a nice animation during sturtup). No applications that can be installed by users themselves - or a separate file containng these. And take it easy, have enough sleep, a cool beer (I'll donate an other modest contribution) and release only when you think it is > 95% ok.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KAwAtA:
Need more members like you! =)

Yeah, who said it was a hard task to do? I sure as hell didnt, I said it was easy LOL. You've misunderstood me completely. I'm basically stating, that you don't understand the hardwork they already put up with and doing something like this, would result in conflicts with other members. What I said isn't nonsense, what you said is nonsense.

So should he make a seperate rom for every single member that requests seperate apps? That's basically what you're implying. Once again, nonsense and unreasonable.

Anyways I'll stop my ranting and *****ing before russell has to go through this crap I've left behind =)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
ok mr expert watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFIcZPdfVe4 1:09 onwards when he skips between the clock options you see the icons have colour. this is found in other apps. i find this a nice touch. so please enlighten me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Nathan one thing I would really like to see would be a transparent notifications bar the white one looks dated to me. I know this may change when themed anyway.

I agree with the others on not installing too many apps especially ones not everyone will use like opera.

Let us install what we need.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I don’t think I’ve spoken to you before… have I?

Anyway, the blue highlights will be included as part of a very, very simplistic, beautiful theme which I’ll be including in the rom. I will upload an optional update.zip for those that prefer standard Sense (ewwww).

I’ve already looked at it. You’ll not be getting a Legend rom from me any time soon. Sorry.

It’s on my list of things to look at this evening, so I can’t tell you yet!

Autokiller 2 will be included as standard. It MAY have an automatic option! I haven't tried it yet.

Opera Mini 5 & Goggles can be quickly installed from the market so will not be pre-installed. Sorry!

@ kAwAtA, Phanes & andy9 – Thank you. I really wish there were more like you in the thread.

Problems with call waiting

Hi,

I have never posted here but have been following and using the VillainROM3.3 and just love it! Amazing job there Nathan.

Anyway, I have an issue with call waiting. When another call comes in I hear an extremely high frequency sound instead of a beep or tone alerting me of the second call. Is it just my phone or is there some way of fixing that.

Other than that, keep up the amazing work. Have been following Nathan on tweets and here and this is by far the best 2.1 Rom I've seen yet and I've done a lot of research trying them all out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
yea i liked it when it was on the cyanogen sources for 2.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reinert:
you are using htc sence and thats illiagal
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] trip hazard:
I'm not sure if it's valid any more but I read an old thread yesterday about tweaking the processor speed to always be high when the screen is on, and low when the screen is off (as opposed to the HTC default of variable in both cases). The thread mentioned it was done using Overclock Widget or something (sorry, my memory's a bit hazy) but I wondered if it was possible to properly hard-code that into the ROM somehow as it apparently speeds the phone up when the screen is on and reduces the lag caused when the processor speeds up/down.

Like I said though, this might not even be valid now or something you already implement.

Cheers,

Nathan (also my name)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
i think he means the app
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Hey guys, can you answer a quick newb question.

I managed to install a rom on my htc hero.

If i want to change it to try another rom?

How would i go about doing that?

Should i boot up to recovery channel, do a full wipe and then install the new rom?

thanks in advance!

Best Regards

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marksyzm:
HTC Sense is not illegal in this format as it is written in an open source language.

Did anyone catch when the next update is available? I couldn't find anything in the search results
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phanes:
@ermacwins

;) I know it was a more rhetoric question for reinert.

HTC´s Sense is not changed so their copyright is not violated. The usage is also no point due to the fact that nobody (concerning dev´s) is making profit with Sense.

@Kuresu

theunlockr.com

... go into you recovery and do a nandroid backup. after your backup do a complete wipe and install new rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] duanes:
Did you root your phone?

If so, just do a full wipe and install any rom you like...

Tested some Eris ROM's bout the "unlock" lag problem:

HeroDroid 0.3: Lagging

VillainROM 3.3: Lagging

BeHero v1.3.1: Running Fine

And for "Non-Eris-2.1":

I never had such lags on my CKDroid.

I see those "get_smem_clock" also on the BeHero ROM (but no feelable lags), but not no so many like on the Villain and HeroDroid. Any (bad) Tweaks, which BeHero doesnt have ?

Only 5 Lines here (BeHero) vs... 20-80 on Villain/HeroDroid.

Outsch, saw smthing:

Villain/Hero are Eris Builds, and the BeHero an Legend release. So.... thats the reason.

Hm... ya, on my Hero the Legend build is much better in that case...

Can we have the animated flip clock please?

Is it a case of either an animated flipping clock or the weather floating by on the homescreen? If so, I vote for flipping clock.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kirstan:
Wrong!

Just because something in written in an 'open source language' doesn't mean the result is 'open source' as well.

IANAL

edit: I'm not claiming using Sense is legal/illegal, just the conclusion in that statement was very very wrong.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
flipclock doesn't work on 2.1 roms as it looks... even if it does you would have to decide between flipclock or weather animations.

is it only me that is having problems with wifi tethering????....have read back the last 50 pages and checked out wiki incase theres something i have missed...

can connect to wifi tethering no problem there but app is being selfish and wont share internet connection....is a tad frustrating.

version 2.0-pre7 (one to rule them all)

cant wait for new release 2moz

great work nathen!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
In that case could we have two widgets in the Rom? One with flipping and one with weather scroll, so that we can use both if required? Can't the 1.5 flipping one be adapted, or resigned or something to work with 2.1?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Really annoys me how many people always try to break the law and just because its the internet they don't think it is stealing.

And its not just because I am a wanna be lawyer either.

You have no place on this forum, downloading paid apps for free is stealing not forgetting also very disrespectful to the devs that made them.

Rant over

Edit: and on another note, I would much rather have weather animations than the flipping clock, if we had to choose.

Has anyone looked at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=645561 yet. Appears to be a Legend RUU, is fully branded up with a picture of the device within the RUU, and has a readme guide which features a screenshot of the Legend's fastboot interface.

I think it's for real. I wonder if this would make for a good platform for future releases?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] duanes:
Behnaam already made a rom of this...

http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2196
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I'm not certain, but AFAIK Behnaam's ROM came from an older leak (that's why he had to remove watermarks that identified the user who gave him it).

This appears to be a full, final, shipping update, as contributed by user __htc__, who appears to have access to internal RUUs, and has a track record for releasing them on here.

I noticed Behnaam tweeted earlier today 'New leak with release keys, will look at it when i get back home :)', which is what I think I'm looking at here.

So, I was wondering if Nathan was going to take a look at this (since it appears to be a release version, maybe some of the bugs that caused him to ignore the previous legend release will be gone).

Just wondering. If you know any more about it, let me know, as I'm well aware Behnaam has access to this kind of stuff early, just that I don't think anyone's looked at this one yet.

I did consider trying to port this one, but I don't think I'm up to a full ROM port yet. Currently dissecting the ROM to see what's on it and verify it's real, although I have no real reason to doubt it...

Benchmark

If its of interest for any of you here is a benchmark test of VillainROM 3.3 and BeHero 1.3.1 (so Eris 2.1 vs Legend 2.1) and the winner is Villain

http://mpranj.limun.org/node/25

the difference is not extreme, but still it seems like the eris port runs faster
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Thanks for that. Interesting results. Very close. I guess that the legend rom is from quite a bit back in time at the moment (hence the watermark), which may put it at a disadvantage...

Just hope beenhaam has something nice for us today or tomorrow, then nathan may do something to it (I'm a VillainROM fan, and haven't tried BeHero 1.3.1, and don't intend to...)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xTuX:
I am a Villain fan too (a bit obvious since most of my posts are here)

actually I hope that we will soon have official 2.1 coming from HTC which will be good for Nathan so he can do his own thing and not base his ROM on behnaams leak

that would give us a battery saving ROM with proper drivers - but I have lost faith in HTCs promises, they promised so much but.. yeah.. as far as I remember they promised the Hero to be the first of their devices with android 1.6 in december. we are far gone from that now, or did they mean december 2099 ?

I suggest that you read about rom flashing first, so that you dont break anything. Basically it's easy, but you can brick your phone if you make a mistake
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xTuX:
its not faster, its just newer, and yes you can use android market... but you may see that your battery is low faster than on your stock ROM that was shipped with the phone.. I dont wanna go into details its just like that atm, and we are all waiting for the next update and we hope that the battery drain problem will disappear

1.2.1 update

I have two T-Mobile Hero's and I travel between Sheffield and Barnsley every day. I installed the 1.2.1 update on one phone and, after a reboot, it showed my location to be Sheffield and I was actually in Barnsley (35 Km away). I then installed the NetLoc-signed update, reboot and my location was almost immediately detected correctly as Brierley (Barnsley).

I then updated the second phone (with 1.2.1 and NetLoc-signed) and, after a reboot, it shows my location as Barnsley, without the Brierley district showing!! (The phones were located on the same desk).

Will check everything else when I get home later today and update this thread.
