STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Half you guys are morons..

you come on here and type a question right after it was answered.. you dont even read the last five posts before asking let alone a page of posts...

stop wasting time asking the same stupid questions..

if your finding it this difficult... go get an iphone...

Oh man that make so laughing :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vivmar:
probably u right..i am trying to find a solution for app2sd that don't work..i don't know if this fix is for another problem and also don't know if there is a fix...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Fisgaz:
if you guys were smart you'd search for this.. it's a couple of pages back...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Done!

Wiki Page created at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VillainRom3.2Fixes

Feel free to edit with any verified fixes. Please don't post unverified stuff in there :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sawbones:
Bugger, 3.2 seems to cause more issues than it solves for me... 3.1 I was happy with. Might go back to 3.1 for now.

(Insufficient storage space, distorted sound etc.).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
The storage space one can be fixed using

adb shell chown system.system /data/app*
adb shell chown system.system /data/app*/*

I think.

Not sure about the sound yet though. Anyone looked into this yet?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] binario77:
App2SD wasn't working for me either and I spent a bit of time fiddling and now it is.

I think the main error was that the mount point /system/sd as listed in /etc/fstab

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2	/system/sd auto	rw

did not exist. Doing a

# ./adb remount
# ./adb shell mkdir /system/sd

seemed to cure the problem after a reboot. Does anyone else with probs want to give it a go and feed back to the thread?

I actually like the sound being louder on the 3.2. I can finally hear my phone ringing. Free ram is like 45mb now, instead of 75-85mb on 3.1.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] giorgit28:
I have restored 3.1 version.

I could not even load a 3.2 ROM.

anyone get FC for the Chinese Keyboard?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
If anyone can confirm this, we can add it to the fix list wiki at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VillainRom3.2Fixes

(Shameless plug for the page :)) If anything verified goes there, all the easier for russell when he comes back here later...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Amivieu:
Thanks for this link
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Konradwalsh:
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please do yourself a favour... go back over the posts... I am not repeating the answer
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcoyee1989:
anybody pls help here!

i just use 3.2 and i just can connect to a wifi AP but i cant connect to the internet

so i back to 3.1, same!!!!

what's up with my phone...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vivmar:
i think this work...

magically my free space on system memory is from 138mb to 145 now...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I'm trying to collate any fixes such as this onto a wiki page. Was there a 'proper' fix for this (ie. commands to type) or was it just a noob-issue of 'wipe and flash'?

Just that I don't remember reading anything about GPS for a while...

Cheers,

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I noticed that in your error, it mentions system:system, yet in your typing it mentions system.system

Not sure if that is significant though... Maybe someone else can have a look at this
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Konradwalsh:
Yes...

it was add power widget to home screen.

turn on gps using it

reboot phone...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] X-Ter:
Is this the solution? It's over 40 pages back.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Cheers,

Wiki-ing right now. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Konradwalsh:
yep it is

a little tip for some who dont know

If you prefer more posts and less pages... then head to your settings on the forum and change how many posts per page... for me this thread iss only 100 pages long... i find it easier finding things
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
I was out working today and the entire day I was looking forward to flashing to 3.2 but from what I see now I don't think it is an improvement to 3.1 or is it?

Lot's of problems, is this caused by the ROM or by newbies who don't know how to work with it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
repartition using ext3 will help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
Can you tell us what exactly the fix is, I'm not running villan so i don't want to flash this, and since I can't open the img I can't see for myself.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vrmp:
It works, I checked the ROM and the /system/sd dir isn't there so this should be added to the ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Xian_2:
Are there any tutorials how to use adb. Is this written on the pc or ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
a new boot.img is needed for that. you need to change this line:

service dmagent /system/bin/dmagent -N -P19 -VSY

to this:

service dmagent /system/bin/dmagent -N -P27 -VSY

in init.rc OR init.hero.rc (have seen either ways), which themselfes can be found in the boot.img.

cleaned up wiki page, update.zips for most problems now! maybe someone could collect the various mirrors and put them up there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kyrillos:
can someone clarify for me where can I see groups in the contacts??

I sync with my outlook where my contacts are grouped... in original ROM my contacts were groupped in the same way as in outlook....now I can't even see such a tab in contacts.... :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] the guitarist:
thanks for the great rom ,

but would it be possible to fix the bad resolution facebook synced pictures in the HTC contact app .. i hope u know what i mean .. whenever you link a contact to facebook through the htc facebook sync, the contact picture becomes so chubby and in a bad resolution ..

thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zykozz:
WORD!. Don't know why, but this is so bad in 2.1 and sense. Looked great in 1.5.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] the guitarist:
by the way nathan,

maybe you can contact the cooker and author of CKDroid Rom .. as he was able to make A2SD run automatically.

just trying to help

thanks for your great work and dedication
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kintaro77:
Rom looks fine, Sense and HTC widget are wonderful specially 3G switcher widget; just some problems:

* TTS FC

* Location doesn't works properly

* Seems a little be laggy

* Keyboard doesn't disappear rapidly switching from an application to home

* Google Goggle is not available on the market
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] owt:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jugulator:
Lost contact pictures!!

I dont know if anybody experienced this..! Very frustrated about this. I have lost all google contact pictures after syncing! I have tried syncing several times. Finally when I checked on the website - google contacts, all the pictures were disappeared!!! I had many pictures there which I added over the last many months, may be years... lost them all!!!! Have been flashing ROMs since 2008, never had such a irrecoverable loss!

Anyone experienced this..? I will have to start from scratch now. At least glad that all the contacts are there!

Also I am not sure why there are 2 contact application and 2 dialer in this ROM.?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I'm sorry to hear about this.

Has anyone else experienced similar?

- The reason there are two contacts & dialler apps, is that several people PMd me asking for the stock android apps, as they're much quicker.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] klaus27:
Any chance of getting german dictionary for Latin_IME?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dingatron:
First off great 2.1 rom Nathan! Just a heads up regarding the contact pictures. I have experienced this last night also but not for all google contacts. Some are appearing but the vast majority don't for some reason. Also as a request is it possible to incorporate street view into the rom? Only played with it for a while so can't give any more feedback but first impressions are great rom!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raz-or:
Excellent ROM by the way, but i do feel it is slightly more laggy than 1.1

Would it be possible to get the java app / jbed.apk working in the next release?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shinobi_1983:
Requests -> japanese local support

Thanks for the great rom!!!

I really love it! Unfortunately i miss Japanese locale support... if i open Emails or webpages with japanese chars, it won't show anything. This really is a show stopper to me :(

Is there any way i cann add them myself? Some hints?

Also Superuser doesn't seem to work for me :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
For anyone experiencing any lag - have you tried Overclock Widget?

Set it to the following:

Screen On:

Min - 528

Max - 528

Screen Off:

Min 128

Max 128

Saves on the battery too!

I'll look into the dictionaries. The problem is, the rom is big enough as it is without every language/locale packed into it! :(

So far I have requests for:

Chinese

German

Italian

Spanish

Arabic (big job)

That doesn't seem too bad, so we'll see!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Superuser Issue:

I'm personally not having any issues with SU. I have had two or three people contact me to say there's an issue....

Could anyone having an issue please let me know?

Thank you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] an0therus3r:
I expected this 1.2 to be working flawless except i'm unable to get location working not even with fix. It worked perfect in version 1.1 but now it seems broken, really broken.

Anyone else having the same problem ?

And knows solution ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shinobi_1983:
PLZ don't forget Japanese :D

Is it possible to offer the language/locale support in different packages?

Or does it have to be enabled in the android rom?

BTW: i reinstalled Superuser and it works for me now ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
What about using the spare parts app that modaco uses it speeds up his rom's nicely.

Will definitely be flashing this tomorrow if I get some free time in between job hunting. Keep up the good work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dakeyras:
I'm having the SU problem as well, I just get a blank screen when SU request then get a FC even after wait. I can try a reflash and see if that clears it up when i get a minute.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kyrillos:
Russian would be appreciated!

Could you also let me know regarding the groups in the contacts? Why I can't see them?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:

Anyone else experiencing problems when trying to change the home screen wallpaper? I can change it if I choose from the already existing wallpapers, but when I chose a photo saved on the sd-card nothing happens.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
A2SD fix update.zip added to wiki (creates the missing /system/sd) folder.

actually it sucks that a folder in /system is used for the ext partition, but this so wide spread that we can't do much about this. if you create rom include that folder, even if your rom doesn't support a2sd. if you don't it can mess with the recovery image, as it expects that folder to exists.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
no problem for me, it works ok
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Matz88:
me too, no facebook update
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] okdac:
I had it too.

Just long press on the image and wait until a chose menu appear. Then you can set the image as a wallpaper.

Let me know if it works for you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Thanks. Good idea. That removes the last of the noob-unfriendly adb commands.

I've kept a backup of all the commands so we can give them to nprussell if he needs them for 3.3...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vivmar:
can u write the link for wiki?thx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
hullomail

hello one and all.

ROM is awesome cheers mate. im on 3.2 now, just done it. everything is working pretty sweet, gps is fine now (did the swtich on and reboot trick before aswell on 3.1, that worked too).

anyway, only problems im having is that with Hullomail app, it is saying there is no data connection? not sure why, apn is fine, even says it on wifi?

gmail push notifications:- after you click on new email, it takes you to it as usual, then when you say, click home. the notification still stays there, until you click it again, which takes you just to inbox not the actual email it was referring to. then notification disappears as it shouldve done.

and finally, when i search by pressing the hardware search button on phone, to bring up search box, if i say, search the internet, and type in "hero xda developers" for eg, the results that come back are american i think, all CDMA shizzle, not the result that comes up on my pc. ive checked and messed with location settings, changing homepage to .co.uk etc to no avail. Also, quite funny, got an email from "The Android Team" saying welcome to google, and thankyou for buying a nexus one!!! ha! I wish!!! think that is where the root of the problem lies as this is inherently a usa rom i believe with it being Droid Eris.

Anyway Ranting.

Keep up the Awesome Work Mate!!!!!!!

Chris.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rome425:
Light sensor seems to be not working.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Lol!

I like that one...

Any idea if there will be a 3.3 at some point? I was wondering if it would be worthwhile building an 'unofficial' update to 3.2 that just includes the bunch of fixes you posted. Would possibly help save troubles with new folks coming on and us having to start from scratch.

We'd prob best check with nprussell first though, cos it's his rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] X-Ter:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
thought about this aswell, but i am out for now. just got a call for the pub tonite, so i need to start packing my stuff and cleaning the house. i'm leaving for a ski trip tomorrow with immediately following two weeks of training for the job...

and worst thing is: i need to set up my hero this night completely for one week of skiing, since i won't have any internet there... good thing i made all those fixes, now just need to throw them into a rom ;)

it should be a no-brainer to compile a rom with all these fixes, so nathan could do that himself in a few minutes. i don't see the need to become active in that direction, also the fixes are pretty straightforward now (for noobs to use i mean...)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
maybe someone could tweet about the wiki page, not using twitter here...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Enjoy yourself. I'm sure you'll really miss all this faffing while you're having fun skiing :) It won't be an issue for nathan to add the fixes, and I agree that for noobs, it is still easy enough. I hadn't thought to check his twitter feed.

Have fun, and good luck getting a nice ROM sorted out. IMHO, I'd also take a nandroid of it before leaving, and keep a reliable 1.5 Nandroid image like MCR on your SD alongside the 2.1 ROM, just in case you discover something monumental whilst away. Then you could at least switch ROMs via recovery if anything cropped up.

:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Higgsy:
just flashed the navlauncher and dmagent fixes and all my apps have disappeared/a ton of force closes. Any ideas - I flash both at the same time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Right. Well the dmagent fix installs a new boot.img file.

The navlauncher does the following:

show_progress 0.1 0
delete SYSTEM:app/Maps.apk
delete DATA:app
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
set_perm_recursive 1000 1000 0771 0771 DATA:app
set_perm_recursive 1000 1000 0771 0771 DATA:app-private
show_progress 0.1 10

So it deletes the old maps, deletes the entire folder /data/app, copies across the new maps file into the correct name and sets the correct permissions.

So that sounds like it is to be expected. I will put a warning onto that file in the wiki.

There must be a reason for the removal of apps, else kendon wouldn't do it. Can't really say more than that, other than it's to be expected :(

I think a wipe and reflash, then putting these fixes in first, should help.

Sorry for no easy fix.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] svirre26:
Well done NPRussell!

Hi! Just wanted to thank you for your good work. I've been browsing through this thread for a while, fixing up minor issues and so on, and i'm noticing a lot of people demanding this and that, and some people complaining on this and that. And it strikes me that you are using spare time (im guessing) and doing this because it's something youre interested in. So thanks for what you are doing :)

When thats said, I do have a question i want to present to the community; i noticed on the wiki a fix named "DMAgent issues in LogCat". Now, this isnt bothering me, but just for the sake of satisfying my curiosity; Whats that?

Other than that, have a nice saturday night.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Higgsy:

freeze after flashing fixes

I flashed the fixes from the 3.2 wiki page, 3.2 flashed correctly and so did the fixes. However the phone is stuck during the boot phase. After the 'X' animates, it freezes and stays on the screen.

I am afraid it's going to be a wipe, or has someone an idea?
