I had this issue but wiped and they appeared. Genie still says i'm in the USA though ( nothing wrong with that of course :D ) even after changing settings in Locale.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ptm:
I can confirm that leaving the phone to charge (not sure if thats what fixed it) and doing a 2nd full wipe (everything) has meant that the rom is now booting as it should.

lol @ the boot screen ... thanks for that :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
all are unacceptable except the 3rd bullet lol (joking :)) i personally think the roms great, the new boot screen rocks. I didnt need to wipe or re-setup anything. Loving it. Well done!

I'm getting stuck on the android boot screen.

I've tried:

- 3.2 upgrade to 3.3. Stuck.

- Redownload the ZIP.

- Wipe, then install 3.3 again. Stuck.

- Remove SD Card, then boot 3.3 again. Stuck.

I'm out of ideas, and I flashed 3.2 back (without issues).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
backup everything on your sd card, format your sd card, do a fulll wipe (everything). Then try do the update.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Anyone having problems booting 3.3:

Do you use Apps2SD?

If so, I have changed the script, so you'll need to wipe your ext partition.

I completely forgot to include that in the post.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
lol i didnt wipe anything, guess i got lucky? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterRio:
Installed 3.3 over 3.1, no wipe.

Boot went fine (and looked cool), everything seems OK!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Flashing now after wipe, hope I don't get stuck on bootloop like some people are saying.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ricostuart:
Navlauncher now complains that google maps isnt installed. Its a diffrenetly named brut version? It worked on 3.2..... Thats all the issues I found so far.

*EDIT*

Just fixed it by removing brut.maps.apk and pushing maps.apk back to /system/app from 3.2 update file.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tsj5j:
No, I don't.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Just did full wipe and fresh install of 3.3 (no apps2sd ever!)

Booted fine first time
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
apps2sd cant be the issues cos ive been using it for a while now, works fine :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
did you do a wipe?

Oh and on a new topic I downloaded 3.3 from my phone :) (never downloaded anything that big on my phone before, supprised it worked.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Quite a big problem.

It is not asking me what to do when I plug my phone into the computer?

Not giving me option to mount drive, htc sync or charge only.

Any ideas (except using recovery)

Edit: It does still charge btw just can't do anything else
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vjprakashbe:
Did you try Settings->Connect to PC->(either default connection type OR Ask me)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Ask me is set, and I tried to change the default it made no difference to the detection on my laptop.

Edit: after a second reboot (from recovery) it is now connecting fine. - Weird one :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Higgsy:
was up till 3am last night pissing about with this, firstly a full wipe was essential as i lost genie widget and other widget. i now have an issue with wifi myself - im having to really play around with it to get it to come on. also if i reboot the phone it boots back with wifi on but doesnt connect, so i have to turn off/on to get it to come back on. wifi is just generally acting wierd
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hksk26:
updated 3.3 over 3.1 without wipe

it's cool and work fine:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
no i didnt.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 13oots2:
Performed full wipe last night including SD card, have yet to find a problem. I love the BIOS boot screen and am really happy the Villain Wallpaper is back. Great work Nathan.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
LOL'd at the new boot.

Sadly however I'm trapped at the ANDROID boot screen :(

I did a full factory reset, then an ext wipe and a davlik wipe before installing.

restoring my nandroid backup and downloading again to make sure it's nothing I did.

Odd as it's the first time I've had an issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
ok i might have to wipe as i didnt get the villain theme :/.

I can confirm that flashing the latest radio (have never updated the radio before) allows the phone to sleep even though it booted with the GPS enabled. This is still the case after several reboots.

Hopefully we're onto something here that will finally make it to the wiki.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MerXury13:
Hey Nathan, how about the new android ndk ? will it be usefull for your rom?

And what about JiT? Are there still thoughts to include it?

Please give me an answer;)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xorxelmen:
what radio use for this rom??? Someone said:

I now downgraded my radio to 63.18.55.06IU_6.35.08.22 version, and after rebooting with GPS on, the phone will go to sleep just fine!

is it better radio than the last one for this rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
Did you wipe ? I flash over my 3.2, here's my batt life as previously posted, it still don't sleep, and even w/o GPS, it's not that good either.

Don't get me wrong, otherwise the ROM is perfect !

BTW, the inconsistent ringing of phone seems to be fixed. It rings on the first ring now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xTuX:
I use apps2sd and I didnt need to wipe my ext partition - using ext2 because i had issues even with ext3 (on v3.2) ...

I can't think of other reasons why the update wouldnt work - I had lots of stuff installed on 3.2 (was working very well) and then I updated to 3.3 *without any wipe* and everything works perfect (not counting issues that have been in 3.2 anyway)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kolaf:
I installed 3.3 after a full wipe and confirm the GPS problem will still present. I then flashed the radio and it now seems to work without draining the battery is much (e.g. sleeping).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kolaf:
I am guessing that the actual radio used is not of importance, rather that the radio is re-flashed for some reason.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Anyone having bootloop issues, I'm being told via PM that formatting SD card/full wipe fixes it.

Still, it's an odd one.

The rom is fine, I've flashed it successfully on three fully wiped/formatted SD card Heros now, and it's worked first time, every time.

It's bloody irritating that a few people are having an issue where most aren't.

I've been using 3.3 all day, and for me at least, it's an improvement over the previous versions.

I have made an error with the APN list, and the renaming of Maps.apk, but they are very simple fixes, which I will get around to.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] meatmaker:
Totally cleared my Hero and SD, created new EXT2 and flashed 3.3 without any problem. Seems to run smoother than ever, no single FC since flashing. Market shows everything. Only had to manual install WiFiTether.

One question about Maps: Is there a special APK for maps Navigation, or can i install the Maps App from Market?

Found another strage thing in the last Days: Im moving more than 100 miles by Train every day and notice really often total loss of service. Before VillainRom I used MoDaCo and only 3G-data-connection was often dropping in the train. But now the complete connection goes down, no simple call possible. I didnt touch the raido (JU-Version), so i wonder why the Villain Rom looses the service more often than MoDaCo...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Navigation is done through Maps [Brut]
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] piotrreq:
Perhaps fixing the ext filesystem is enough (in recovery)? I've done an upgrade from 3.2 to 3.3 wihout wiping. It is possible, that this filesystem is corrupted and just cannot be mounted without a repair.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
I can confirm this. I backed up my SD card to my phone then used the recovery system to format my SD card, copied it all back, flashed the 3.3 update and all is well again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
there is no new interface i just wiped for no reason lol. Thanks for that whoever said loving the new interface.. no to setup all my settings again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterRio:
Good question. Also about reflashing the Radio. Is that recommended?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] piotrreq:
I've written about it yesterday - imho reflashing radio to any version (off course the newer the better) fixes problems with gps and partly battery drain (without the flash in some cases the phone is always awake)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vjprakashbe:
I am not sure it is a common problem across all the ROMs including official ones.

Now, my phone “awake time” is exactly matches with “up time” minus “how long I disconnected my phone from USB” (I did not test/notice in power adapter).

I plugged-in my phone (USB) at 10:05 AM (after fresh reboot) up to 12:30 PM; and again plugged in at 2:00 PM.

Regardless of how many times I used/unlocked my phone; but the “awake time” = “UP TIME - 1.5 hrs (unplugged time between 12:30 and 2:00).

Now I verified it 3 times with a stop watch:

3 reboots with USB connection, leave it for 5 to 10mins - “awake time” = “up time”

Unlock the phone for couple of minutes - “awake time” = “up time”

Unplug USB and lock the phone (start timer), (after 2/3 mins) then unlock (stop timer) = “awake time” = “up time” – “USB unplugged time”

Connect USB, now the previous delta maintained until next USB disconnect...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kolaf:
Which version are you running, and do you have GPS enabled?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vjprakashbe:
I am running 3.3 (from 3.1->complete wipe) and never turned on GPS (even unknowingly) after flashing this ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Smallguy17:
If you get a bootloop you just take the bettery out, wipe all things again and flash it again right?

Not that I have one with the 3.3 ;)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reidefors82:
can i go from 3.1 til 3.3?

when you can flash 3.1 to 3.2, and 3.2 to 3.3 ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 13oots2:
Did the full wipe work? Have always found it to be far better even though it is an upgrade option. Maybe full wipe should be added to Wiki FAQ.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
tbh, id try go from 3.1 to 3.3 if it dont work you can wipe and do 3.3 :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:

I selected a picture of my phone and the phone says that the background has been changed but the same backgrond remain... no changes. I tryed with other pictures, but there is no way to select a picture from me and tho change the wallpapel. I even tryed to select a default wallpaper but no way...

Any solution, guys?????:confused:

Sound & Display > G-Sensor Calibration, doesn't seem to be working.

Tried holding it at an angle then calibrating, the verticle spirit level always stays the same. i.e. after calibrating at an angle and then putting it on a flat surface it shows what it was before.

Anyway to fix it? like granting full read/write/execute permissions on a certain file? if so what file?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 13oots2:
Just tried and works perfectly for me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xTuX:
Note for users whose heros dont go to sleep / dont lock themselves:

(I am not sure but I think I read that somewhere here)

You can manage to make your phone go to sleep if you use the nice application called "spare parts" (you can get it from the market)

that way it works for me to lock the phone by hand or when the display times out (you can set that in your display settings)

In case that the procedure above doesnt work for you note that I have also re-flashed my radio with the newest image because I read it somewhere in this thread -- but I am not sure whether that is related to the sleep problem (at least for me re-flashing the radio didnt fix anything that is obvious o.O )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
lol no problem, i should of nandroided but i didnt
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
there is no new theme yet, I think Nathan is working on that, not sure who told you there was.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xTuX:
Same here, you can "calibrate" it but it doesnt calibrate anything at all, it just says that it calibrated the sensor but everything is the same as it was before calibration even if you want to calibrate it in a wrong position

still: the default calibration as it is works very well for me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
dm, i thought it might of been the theme in 3.0 that was a nice theme :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 13oots2:
That was my fault, feeling pretty guilty about it too. Meant wallpaper but theme just popped into my head for a random moment. As I said before will make donation to Nathan's Red Bull fund for you guys

I flashed from MCR 3.1 to VR 3.3 after wiping EXT and doing factory reset using Amon RA recovery (1.6.2). After boot everything seemed fine although I didn't have the Autokiller for some reason. Battery is down by 10% after 6 hours (I have a Mugen 1550 mAh battery).

Forgot to mention: Rogers APN - WAP browsing broken because no username/password and no Rogers MMS entry. No biggie for me but just thought you should know. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
lol dw about it. Im all set back up again now :D use apps2sd so all my apps stayed, jjust had to configure them and reinstall overclock widget as overclock is the only one which doesnt work with apps2sd after a rom update.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 13oots2:
Strange, if I put too much of an angle the phone refuses to calibrate, seems to be working ok for me

I even reboot without GPS on, and still the GPS works perfectly.

Reboot with GPS on, it's able to sleep !

Monitoring it overnight. If batt and GPS issue resolved, this will be the perfect 2.1ROM !!!!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
for those who have only the genie disappearing problem, but all else working and don't want to make a full wipe... flashing this worked for me ;)

sounds really weird because I was flashing around with villainrom a lot.. did you come from another ROM and didnt wipe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Ok just removed lockscreen and installed Amon Ra's latest recovery (that was fun....not)

Anyway back on topic.

Rom seems to be working well so far, free memory is the same as 3.2 (lower than 3.1) however it definitely feels quicker.

Removed pre-installed apps I don't want (more local etc)

Now time for a full test.

- facebook synced fine however pictures are pixelated (they were fine in 3.2)

EDIT: after a resync pics are now fine
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
Thanks dude, I'll give it a try, didn't want to wipe all over again, so much hassle.

process.gapps crashing during contacts sync every time.

Hey guys,

Have flashed the 3.2 and 3.3 ROMs. Everything seems to be working perfectly as described, EXCEPT... every time my contacts attempt to sync with my company's google apps, I get the following error:

"The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Only option is "Okay".

Happens every time, totally reproducible on both ROMs. I've purged through my 300 contacts removing any weird unicode entries, no luck.

Logcat shows:

Any ideas? This is a taiwanese made HERO100, purchased unlocked, was previously running the MODACO builds. Problem seems specific to 2.0/2.1 ROMs.

Also, I can't see to find the option to select which contact groups should be synced... can anyone tell me where I should be able to find that with 3.3? The view menu in people only shows the Google/Phone/blah options.

Assistance greatly appreciated, this is a showstopper for me in terms of using these ROMs on my daily-use phone.. recently upgraded my dev G1 to 2.1, and saw no sign of this problem.

Hey guys,

I recently upgraded from MoDaCo 3.1 to VillainRom 3.2 and wanted to say thx for this great Mod.

Unfortunately I am not able to get VillainRom 3.3 running, although I proceeded as I installed VillainRom 3.2!

I make a Nandroid Backup

Nice work Nathan :)

Seems only to affect some of us - but I was constantly stuck on the Android screen on startup ( tried non wipe flash, then wipe, then wipe w/ dalvick and ext wipe ).

To get it running I had to copy all info to my computer, then partition the SD card, copied the info back ( including 3.2 nandroid ), then flash and boot to 3.3, then do a nandroid restore of 3.2, then flash the 3.3 zip onto 3.2 ( thus saving my settings ).....phew:o
