Some great news for you:

VillainROM 3.0 will be ready tomorrow! :)

Here's a taster of what's to come:

- Google NAV working - in and out of the US.

- Apps2SD

- Clock/Weather widget should now work correctly (ie - Sheffield, Cloudy with Showers)

- Added Proximity Sensor

- All dialler issues (inbound calls/outbound calls bugs) FIXED

- SU 100% Fixed

- Added Quickoffice

- Fixed Music App buttons & widget buttons

- Fixed Exchange calendar sync

- Added Teeter (HTC Game)

- Added HTC Setup Wizard

- Added Native Support for several languages

- Added new HTC Album

- Added IM

- Fixed HTC Bookmarks Widget

- Fixed Messaging issues

Some notes (more negative):

- HTC Weather widget causes FC of sense... DO NOT use it. The app, however, is working fine.

- Some problems with contacts again. It no longer shows Sim contacts on boot, but it's constantly showing facebook contacts. The BEST fix for this would be to scrap HTC contacts, and use the native android 2.1 contacts app. Please let me know what you think to this solution.

- Reverted back to 1.5 style notification bar... Seems faster.

- Some other things which I can't remember.

It'll be up tomorrow! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cbanbury:
Great News!

The music app fix is a big plus for me, shame about the contacts though. I like the way the HTC contacts works. Does it still add the weird signature thing to google contacts?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MerXury13:
THAT . IS . HUGE !

Big Respect for You!:)

*The OpenGl isn't to fix isn't it? and what about the gmail push? fixed?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Gmail Push is untested at this stage. I really don't have a clue if the fixes will work or not. I'll let you know when I know. I've literally been testing for a couple of hours.

Anyway... Reverted back to HTC 1.5 lockscreen and HTC Bootscreen.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aze2:
and how many memory after boot?

and after some hours?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Will have to let you know tomorrow.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MerXury13:
Whats the reason you just mentioned a 2.2 update and then - 3.0 :) This was really fast! How do you reached that?

greets
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Will this be a update with a wipe? Sounds a big one :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Flame-R:
3.0

Thanks np, flippin a geneous with these ROM's.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Raiven_s:
Where can I find the latest update? Where is the ' POST #1486(Page 138)'? I can only see 27 pages in this thread!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrmamon:
Downloading! what about gmail? is it fixed?

anyway thanks for your work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Raiven_s:
OK, worked it out, have to switch to linear mode... And I'm still confusing about the weird 'Thread Mode'
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] simondadiamond:
Hey!

Thanks for the great ROM!

I had a few questions...

1) in tomorrow's release you say you are reverting to 1.5 notification bar... does this include removing recent apps? :(

2) I cannot understand what the hell the "contact" button on the new espresso is for? i only have 4 of my contacts that appear and then i need to choose an action ... what does this do lol? generally people has been buggy, and kinda weird but i think i finally got it :) with pictures and all thanks to "facebook sync" i found somewhere...

anyway, if someone could help me understand my second question that would be great :) Thanks again!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] andready:
3.0

nprussell, your the MAN:):):)

Great job
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] okdac:
Hi there,

Can't find where to download...Is it already posted ? I still find the 2.1 on the first post.

Maybe am I blind.

Thx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joopsg:
the link is not out yet for 3.0
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
It'll be out later today/this evening. I have a little more testing to do first, that's all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] remeez:
Hi Nathan,

You are like a robot!!! Can't wait to try out v3.0. Do you ever sleep?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] walliswang:
i have 1.33 2010 spl, can i update this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BULL3TPR00F:
hey any chance this works on a magic? im running the latest 6.35 radio and 1.76 eng spl
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Diamond777:
Awaiting...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
No, this will not work on the magic. Sorry.

My Mrs just bought a Magic, so the chances are, I'll port it over at some point ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BULL3TPR00F:
cool, sounds good :) thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Not enough. I was up until 1:30am this morning working on Villain...

Then my alarm went at 6:15am.

Stupid really, as I'm knackered now. I've got two pretty major changes to make, as there are a couple of bugs right now which are definitely stopping me from releasing it this morning. Mainly with contacts. The bloody thing is adament that it's going to dump all of my email addresses in the list and outright ignore phone numbers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterRio:
Will Google Streetview be in 3.0 as well?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] richwol:
Hi Nathan,

First off incredible job so far - the speed at which you get these versions out is awesome! I can't believe one guy can do it so fast when HTC are holding back till mid March.. I'm surprised they haven't offered you a job yet!

I've got a couple of issues with the ROM, the first being one that might be fixed in your contacts update..

When composing a text message and typing a name into the 'to' box, multiple entries for each contact appear, one with the email address, one with the phone number and one with the friend ID. If for example I select the one with the email address it tries to put that into the 'to' box, which of course makes the phone report that it's an invalid phone number.

Not sure if this one is a problem with the ROM or whether it's Orange, but when I've been sent an MMS the text message arrives in my inbox, but when clicking on it it just always says 'downloading' - the MMS never arrives. If I hold my finger over the info (as though to select it and get the menu to appear) it crashes the process. I tried to go to MMS settings at Messages>Settings>Connection Settings but everthing is greyed out.

Hope that helps!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eeww:
nprussell , i want to know that is the CIME can be fix??because if i choose handwrite chinese input, it will keep show a message ever few second and keep force close!

and when will it add live wallpaper???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
3.0 out today? Umm you do realise I was only joking about wanting an early birthday present right?

I can't wait, almost feel like a child in a candy store.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
haha, he must have had a very prodcutive day on it yesterday.

I wonder if he is still planning a "lite" version?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I fixed this, but it broke something else. So.. as of right now, I'm unable to answer accurately. I'm at work, and due to ridiculous restrictions on the company PCs, I can't run VMWare, I can't RDP to my CentOS box, and I can't sign zips due to being unable to install Java. A joke? YES.

This SHOULD be sorted for the next build.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I have the same problem with restrictions here, can't even update flash player in browsers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Pretty sure I've fixed this.

I will not be adding live wallpaper, due to it simply not working with Sense. If we get a decent 2.1 Sense leak, I'll look into it. It's currently too big a job, and far too unimportant.

It barely works on the AOSP roms as it is!

I am indeed. It will follow by the end of the week.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] andready:
Will Google Streetview work in 3.0 with maps 4.0???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Fluesopp:
Ok, two things (may be reported already). Firstly, after installing the optional Espresso rom, I can't add HTC widgets anymore. Secondly, if I open a contact and try to change the primary call action acore crashes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Your HTC widgets are in the android widget list.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Diamond777:
3.0 Release! been waiting since this morning impatiently :):):)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
can't wait :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Same here, my f5 button is getting warn out now, however I know he will release it when he is ready too. I say he should take as much time as he wants/needs to as he won't want to damage his work which is soon heading in the direction of perfection.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Unfortunately, I'm still at work. I will be for another 3 hours, then I'm off to the gym. Once I've done all of that, I'm going home for some dinner.

When I've eaten, I'll be signing and zipping the three potential builds I've worked on; then testing them.

So... if I were you, I wouldn't press F5 for about 6 hours ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Sounds good to me, enjoy!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] satinder:
Hi Please consider enabling Bluetooth audio support ... i am willing to donate for that. This along with app2sd is stopping me from shifting from CKDROID (that also doesn't have Bluetooth audio but is quite responsive) to VilllainROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Bluetooth audio already works in this rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I was thinking the same thing ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] H88RRY:
:(

i got your rom and 1st off what a rom it is f****ing fantasic i love it but i have a few issues im wondering if any1 else is

1/ i seem to have a problem with the people widget the fb pictures i use are really blurry

2/ the browser doesnt work if i have dolphin browser installed

3/ the keyboard is really laggy

4/a few apps i have fc i.e safe naborhood

other than that its great when is the 3.0 update available

this is a major breakthrough for me as i been waiting for a decent 2.1 since the beginning of the year
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] satinder:
Great ....

Not sure but it didn't work when I tried 1.8. App2SD, Bluetooth Audio and the laggy keyboard were the problems last time around. May be something has changed after that which I wouldn't know.

So do I wait for the next update for use or start from here? Will the next one be no wipe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Broken:
Will there be a fix for lack of WMA support in the music player? Other than that I am pretty happy!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Neo12:
The download is extremly slow, like 20kB/s. Could you please reupload on another site?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] H88RRY:
i downloaded the 2.1 fine took about 5 mins on my t-mobile dongle or is the 3.0 beta available yet
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
No 3.0 is not up yet.

and 4share or whatever its called can be stupidly slow.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulvelzeboer:
when is the 3.0 online ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] H88RRY:
not sure but im excited the 2.1 was near perfection and i find 4share the nutz for downloadin apps and stuff
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mmiii:
sorry I´m a newbie.

Any chance to add a german dictonary for Text input.

Rom language doesn´t matter but help for text input would be nice. !!!

Great rom

Thanks

mmiii
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Something's come up - I need my phone on for the night so I'm unable to test.

It's going to have to wait until tomorrow/friday.

I'll try and up a Beta tomorrow mornig for anyone willing to test.

Sorry - but it can't be avoided. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dr3as:
No problem, you are doing a great job :D Will test out 2.1 with det nice espresso tonight then, and just waiting for tomorrow :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] H88RRY:
np im just testing your vinillian its great love the custom boot screen shame there is not any htc widgets if you could add people widget and all that stuff would be the best how is the 3.0 coming along anyway if you like i could be a tester when your phone isnt acessable send me the roms i test them and give you feed back??? i run on a htc hero (T-Mobile G2 Touch) btw
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nu1mlock:
I'm not going to get my hopes up, but the ONLY thing I'm missing so far is being able to use the camera att full resolution.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 160bpm:
Hi All,

Also installed the last ROM ... SUPER.. nice.. love it.

The known problem things are already told.

But.. in see double names in the widget list... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] H88RRY:
no i had that but didnt really bug me to much altho the people widget would make a default action and when i clicked on a contact i would get 3 numbers to call and they were the same and the same for texting i take it its not that easy to make ya own rom. Has any1 else trying the vinillian rom yet
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spacecat:
i prefer vanillian to this one though this is also very good, kudos to the fella who makes them
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] H88RRY:
The vanillian is wicked but the lock screen is ineffective :-( if u press menu button it unlocks it without having to slide so is prone to unlock in your pocket
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Neo+6210:
MRC 3.1 to this 1

Hi all,

Was following this post for past few days, cause looking for base 2.1.

Seems to be perect ROM for 2.1 base (3.0).

I have 1 question. I am currentely running MRC (MoDaCo) 3.1. and in boot menu it looks for zip file. Will this one work directly without changing boot menu? Will there be problems?

Great work. :)

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
Isn't this the same in every rom? They've all got a slider of some sort which can be deactiviated by pressing the menu key.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genius.lizard2:
one problem with BT audio: it working good when the screen isn't off: when screen or light is on or when is not in standby bt audio is good.when go to standby the sound is very bad and laking laking on off on off... .when i change the song it cut off the bt audio and sound. sorry for my bad english
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
If anyone's willing to test an Beta of 3.0, please let me know by PM.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orangeclanz:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Yes this is just a built in feature of android as far as I am aware. Its good for when you are wearing gloves and can't touch the touch screen
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mr_stepik:
PM was sent. Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] diabolik:
i would like test to
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
My god people!

I just looked at my inbox and have nearly 50 messages. Please stop with the beta requests now... ;)

To the unsuccessful people; I will add more testers as and when I need to, and will use additional testers on the follow up test release. So... You're not unsuccessful. You'll get the chance to test it.

The first ten were:

hobbitjack

kevinlow

skysbird

nu1mlock

remeez

shelnes

edjeed

knudsen81

Simc13

rootbox00

Sorry to everyone else.

To the ten of you, thank you. As advised, this is an untested 3.0, and I fully expect there to be a number of problems. From all of you, I'll need you to come up with a list of:

- Everything that is 100% working

- Everything that is partially working (with a description of the problem)

- Everything that does NOT work

- Any issues

- Benchmark Results (benchmark.apk from the market)

- Free memory after killing all tasks

Please DO NOT post this information in the thread. Please feed this back to me via PM!

Thanks again. I'll PM you with a download link later today!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skysbird:
ok, i got it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Nathan hope you see this :)

Any chance you can look into the possibility of including google voice dialler? I could really do with being able to control my phone via my bluetooth headset.

Beta Testing

Hi Nathan,

I am quite keen to get started, link please!!!!

:D:D:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genius.lizard2:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
The test build is uploading now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kevinlow:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hobbitjack:
Brilliant, ill start testing as soon as its up :).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skysbird:
exciting!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kayceejayh:
Just a thought - why not allow donaters to be future beta testers? That'll be an incentive for people to donate.

K
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Whilst I see your point, and to some extent agree... I feel a bit greedy doing it that way...

Still, you're a legend, so if you want to join the testers, you're welcome to.

PM Sent.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
All testers have been PM'd the link.

Please note, this is quite a buggy build... but I really need a thorough test to be done on it so I know exactly what needs fixing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] piluco:
hello

I tried your rom which unfortunately I had to remove as soon as connected to bluethoot of my car as soon as I closed the phone calls start automatically blocking any phone audio player and the only alternative was to disconnect the battery and restart it. Do you think that was my problem or a problem with flash?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
Damn, missed out on being a beta tester :(

Blizzard, M$, Naughty Dog were all happy with me (name drops attempted, failure expected planning started for next attempt)

On the same point, my apologies for sending the PM after you'd closed applications, my browser hadn't refreshed and so I didn't see that you'd had 50 pm's (which TBH is your own fault for making such a great ROM (flattery attempted, failure imminent must plan better will think of something later))
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
@ the 3.0 testers ONLY:

If you'd like to try apps2sd, it needs enabling manually. Follow these steps:

# adb remount

# adb shell apps2sd on

# adb reboot

done! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Simc13:

Have tried them all... everything on the forum and this one seems great. Unfortunately, i will wait till APPS2SD is incorporated since i have loads of applications on my phone.

Really look forward to APPS2SD build soon.

Thanks

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mlanca:
nprussell when you post the 3.0?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
It's currently in a beta test, with 10 (+2) beta testers.

Once everyone has had ample chance to test and give me feedback, I'll work on a second test build. This will be sent to everyone that has donated & current beta testers.

After I've received feedback on the second test build, I'll make the final 3.0 release and upload it.

It might take a couple of days for this whole process, but I'm certain you want the build to be perfect. ;)

The way the beta test 2 will be initiated, is that I'll simply email every donater in my paypal account with the download link.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Neo+6210:
Hi....

Any one knows about this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterRio:
If possible, I would also like to see the option to uninstall the standard message app. This is beaten on all fronts bij Handcent.

Hope you can get everything working!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
I take it you've got Amon-RA's recovery rom installed.

You've rebooted into it by turning the phone on whilst holding the home key.

If that's the case then yes, this will flash like any other signed ROM.

Bear in mind it take a VERY long time to boot first boot after flashing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterRio:
If possible, I would like to see the option to uninstall the standard message app, which is easily beaten by Handcent.

Hope you can get your wishlist working!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I didn't fully understand your question, and unfortunately, I still don't. I would have answered otherwise.

If you're asking if this will work from the recovery menu - yes.

It will wipe your date though - RUN A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I believe MMS.apk (Messaging app) needs to be in system/app.

My next project, once Villain 3.0 is stable and ready, is to create a kitchen for it. In there, you'll have every option imaginable.
