Ok I resolved my root/widget issues.

Not conventional but I wiped the phone and installed Raidroid 1.0 from Modaco's Hero Forum and then upgraded it with Villain 3.1. Got no widget or root issues now...

Market running superfast. No connection errors to the Internet etc.

Only one problem still remains... MMS settings within messaging are greyed out and I can't send/receive MMS no matter what I try!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Williz:
Did this, didn't work. Waited about an hour.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Wiped and flashed now time for first boot

That boot screen is fast lol

I still would prefer a non nexus one though (not that I see it that often)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Williz:
Also did this to no avail.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fozzieb:
anyone else use activesync for exchange emails?

wants to renew my password but just keeps coming backup, even if i cange it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
Go into the accounts & sync settings and check sync facebook contacts is ticked

Edit: never mind, just saw your post.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arenaling:
another report:

i try to use Photo (Album in old stock sense), and i try flickr..it download all facebook user and i can see all my facebook contact and open their photos

i hope this help you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mattyguk:
1. No (was on Modaco before)

2. Yes (mail program had to be deleted and re-added as it said the program was no longer installed, did a full wipe of everything before install)

My earlier facebook sync issue and contact problem when scrolled to the bottom has gone. I believe it was because i didn't let the 'facebook for htc sense' finish syncing, it takes quite a lot longer than thought and if youu force a sync it looks like it finishes in a couple of seconds but it carries on in the background for about 15min.

I did a full wipe, inc ext before flashing, and atm can't really find any issues apart from i would love my skype for 3 to work (it FC's at login). Id even bump up a bigger donation to 'nprussell' for it if anyone solves it!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I use it too, but haven't installed this ROM yet, since I heard issues about exchange email. I think I'll hold off till tonight and try 3.2 when it's released.

Reason is that I absolutely must be able to have activesync working 100% before I install it (need it for work). Also, does anyone know if calendar sync works via exchange?

Sorry I can't help though, my fellow Scot :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitedevilo:
Confirm all of issues above
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
Thanks,

I am so dumb again!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kingkeld:
1. no.

2. yes. most widgets are missing.

I wiped, dalvik wiped, ext wiped, installed 3.1, wiped and here I am. Hope this helps. Great work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jayce996:
thank you very much!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fozzieb:
:D no worries mate

The rom is super fast, just this one odd issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Help got a problem.

Can't run setup on first boot as apparently I have not network connection?

Anyone else have this problem and if so how do I enable my 3G connection?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Aye. I've heard its really fast, so I think I'll just have to bite the bullet tonight and try it. Maybe see if I can get exchange working on it. I suppose I've got the nandroid of Modaco custom ROM just in case anything goes wrong...

:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] booon:
no problem :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dr3as:
I found a strange thing, when trying to change my background pic, it says its ok after i do it, but it is still the old one there..

Yes

No
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Higgsy:
So it seems the MMS issue is caused by some settings in the message settings under "connection settings" as mentioned before this menu is grey'd out and can't be changed. Can this be changed for a different messages.apk or something? or can this be hack to either remove or allow access to this menu.

Also in answer to the questions earlier

1 - No

2- No
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I appear to have no apn settings what do i need for orange UK?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Rui-Cruz:
seems similar to my problem . i have Wi Fi and 2G but noway ican get 3G or H. I added the settings recomended in APN, but just gave me 2G , nothing else...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pauldgroot:
When using overclock widget, it asks me for root permissions bu only a screen comes up with SU request on top and no buttons or text (black screen).

Did a full wipe (incl, sd) to 3.0 and then updating to 3.1.

Any help please?

Thanks!

And I love this rom apart from that issue, thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] my_space:
i too get this same error... i don't understand why because all "chown" and"chmod" arguments are correct....

any advice guys?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] meatmaker:
Woahh, is it possible to give the Dialer a higher task-priorisation? When a call comes in, the Trackball starts flashing just in time, but Screen is activated quile a few seconds after it, ringtone starts about 8-10 Seconds after it. Many callers will have hung up, when u first hear the ringing... :/

Same Task-Prio problem with Spotify running in background. every little app brings music to stuttering.

Greetings
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 13oots2:
Interesting problem with Maps, flashing V3 final multitouch works and works with upgrade, yet flashing v3.1 by itself does not work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Rui-Cruz:
seems to me the pattern is that people who used villain before have less widget problems than us who did.?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
this is the only issue i have to.

nice rom all works for me.

1- yes

2- no

I deleted ext3 partition and recreated it, and did a factory wipe from recovery menu.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eujene:
Anybody tested Java? Seems it doesn't work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
when turning the phone horizontal in gallery it goes a bit wierd (like 6 box repeating what should be on the screen).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
So I just had to manually enter my orange APN settings and everything seems to be working now :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alim5375:
Items missing in action, please add:

1) usb tethering

2) view to disable sim contacts

3) all setting widgets to toggle 3g/wifi/gps/airplane mode (was it bcoz of my installation problem?)

Thanks Nathan! This is, I think, the most stable and fantastic rom to-date. I also felt that the vibrate feedback effect from texting is lighter, yet it makes the whole typing experience much smoother.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
strangely all my apps have stayed behind and still seem to work. I deleted and recreatred the ext3 partition (adb via parted) and did a factory restore/wipe. but the apps all seem to work :/.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
Sounds like the problem is a left over from a previous vanillian ROM for people who don't format their SD card. Something is hanging around on the SD (probably to do with the old version of Rosie) that is causing the widgets not to show up
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wolverine_2k:
Wait til you try to send/receive an MMS. Everyone seems to be ignoring the fact that the options to change the MMS settings within Messaging are greyed out and set to Verizon Wireless...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akurei_2000:
I did a while back - dunno what all that was about though...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] my_space:
i would agree in my case but i don't know about others....

in answer to russells questions

1. yes

2. yes, but they were resolved upon re-formating and re-partitioning my sd card with no swap and ext4 of 256mb.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I will look into this in a second, luckily it is very very rare that I send or receive a MMS anyway
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akurei_2000:
Lennyuk, what are the orange APN settings? sorry, probs should search but am on such a slow internet conection today its painful!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
Yes fc on start
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
http://androidbloke.co.uk/orange-uk-apn-and-network-settings/

There you go that has all settings for internet and mms (not tried the mms ones yet)

Also voicemail settings are on that page as well if we need to set that up also
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tron13:
Nathan... whats going wrong?

And in this rom, when im restart my hero, lose widgets... i have reboot it 4 times, and now i have only the twitter htc... at the 1st boot i have all exept the CLOCK
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 974kiki:
Now, I have regsiter Orange Fr information in APN section, but it seems to be always connected in Edge and not in 3G or HSDPA !

Please help me !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -Ace:
This is the best rom i used so far..!

The battery is the only drawback for me - i guess. Overnight, from 3am to 11am, it went from 99% to 69% without any use, it was on my table all night?

In the clock, desk clock thing, the weather show there is always for Amsterdam. I Have removed it severel times, and add my own city, but when i go in to desk clock it will show wrong weather, og when i tap the weather, i open amsterdam again. It dosn't matter at all, i will just mention it :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Have you unticked the "use 2g only" box? it is set to on by default (at least it was for me)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 974kiki:
Do you know if it exist such a internet page for Orange FR ?

Thx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 974kiki:
Where can I find this setting ?

Thx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
Try formatting your SD card before flash (obviously backup any important files first)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile Networks>Use Only 2G Networks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wolverine_2k:
Same here - but I'm nowhere near home and got sent an important mms for once and cannot receive it! lol.

The one time I need MMS...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Try to google "Orange FR APN Settings HTC HERO" and see what comes up, sorry I have not got the time to look for you now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterRio:
What's with the Visual VM app that comes installed?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
NAV is working with everybody? strange it is not with me then :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
was just thinking the same, it says update(or maybe upgrade) but doesnt find anything in market, and doesn't seem to do anything... :).

Really liking this rom, what a nice leak eh? Also, cant seem to get much in the navigation app working.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
That is a verison app just ignore it.

It just lets you use (on that network) the app to see a list of your voicemails, listen and delete in a nice easy fashion. It is not out in Europe networks yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alim5375:
Hey, all the widgets show up after I did a clean format of sd card and re-flash the rom... I installed villian-rom before...

I guess it's relating to those "OLD STUFF" in the sdcard.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
yeah I cleared my sd card before my first install and had no issues at all. It must be because of some old files left over.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] henky92:
I installed live wallpapers from the market, but can't select them.

Aren't they supported at all?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
No! this has been said so often in this thread.

Live wallpapers will not have support in this rom until they work 100% and even then Nathan has said it is the bottom of his list of priorities
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] space21:
All is working fine, except, when i download Google Earth, and when i'm trying to start it, it just wont start...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Google earth is not compatible with this phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 160bpm:
Same problem. Program is starting but when you try to nav nothing happend.. also my sygic Mobile Map 9 is not working ... F.C.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
i wiped the ext partitions and did a factory rest, i did no however wipe my sd cards fat(data) partition. I have had no major issues except weirdly all my apps are still there and working. dunno how that works out but what ever lol
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
Sygic works here, but did only a quick try with gps disabled (in office at the moment)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kevinlow:

when i select the wallpaper from setting > home wallpaper then choose from galery..it stated the wallpaper has been set but end up nothing happen..

when i go from setting > home wallpaper then select photo..i cant even see my wallpaper folder..any idea on this??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reinert:
does not work for my phone :( and i forgot to do a Nandroid backup so pls help me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
How is it not working?

What exactly is happening?

Nothing we can do about no nandroid so you will have to flash another rom if we can't help you use this one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] space21:
Why? Will it be compatible in the future?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fqboy:
Simply Amazing !

Thanks for all the work nathan, you're a hero :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Not sure on the specifics but it is built for different (newer) phones only at the moment.

We will only get it if google decide to make a version compatible with the older phones like the hero (which they may well do once 2.1 is officially out)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reinert:
when i start my phone the fast bootscreen ifs showing but after 10 min it freeze and nothing is happening
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kmoon:
Excellent ROM

I am really, really impressed!!

Missing ALL HTC widgets though...

Rebooting now to see if that will help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MeerKat001:
3.1 runs like a charm!

No problems at all..I didn't even wipe the SD, dalvik etc. (coming from latest beta).

Only the fact that the battery drains pretty quick.

Could this be fixed?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Did you do a full flash etc like Nathan said.

Inlcuding removing everything from your SD card you don't need?

Wipe and flash again then see what happens.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paulrgod:
1. No

2. No

I was using an official ROM before this, i downgraded with the goldcard method, completely formatted Memory card, partitioned it and upgraded to ext4 then selected every Wipe option in the recovery menu before flashing this.

All the widgets seem to be present and working.

I have encountered some bugs though - here's a list :-

Gallery - corrupt image when viewed in Landscape mode

Gallery - Some overlapping icons

Gallery - seems to take a long time to update

Application list - after changing to list view it reverts to grid mode after every reboot

Facebook - Contact images in 'People' seem lower quality than normal - somewhat grainy?

Java app - force closes repeatedly

Navigator - Navigation & View Map buttons dont work

GPS - doesnt seem to work - i need to try it again to be sure

General - Battery seems to drain quicker?

General - Phone has rebooted on it's own 2 times so far (no-one seems to have mentioned this occuring)

General - screen sensitivity at the bottom right seems poor (backspace key for example while entering text)

General - Trackball doesn't flash on missed call / sms - it flashes while recieveing just not afterwards

Weather - will not keep the home setting - always defaults to London - even if deleted it will re-add it

Hope this feedback helps you perfect this ROM!

Cheers

Paul
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
My battery has been about the same so far, havent seen any excessive drain
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sku11y:
I've got this too.

Luckily I made a backup...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
For everyone having trouble with Gallery 3d in landscape try this.

TURN YOUR PHONE LANDSCAPE WHEN ON HOME SCREEN.

KEEP IT LANDSCAPE

NOW OPEN GALLERY

it should open fine now (has previously) not tested this yet for this rom

NOTE: will then go buggy when you go to portrait.

Edit: tested and this is working for me :)

I desperately need Jbed Java working ;((

At the beginning there were no java's .so library, i copied it, but it didn't work. Reinstalled jbed.apk, still nothing. Tried checking permissions - looks like everything is ok.

And btw, strange, adb push was not working, saying "not enough space on device". But copying with root explorer worked.

Anybody, any ideas how to fix it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reinert:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eben80:
Thanks for this its working great.

Can anyone tell me how do I go about replacing the HTC mail with the nexus mail of which I have the apk?

I've installed Nexus email but would like to uninstall the original.

Keep up the great work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Fraqq:
hello everybody. sry if my question is to stupid:D:D

but (how) can i run live wallpapers on VillainROM 3.1???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
You should also wipe dalvik cache and ext partition if you have one, then flash
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
-Wipe data/factory reset

-wipe DVLIK-CACHE (or whatever its called)

-If you have used apps2sd ever in the past also wipe ext

-Flash rom

-reset

wait for boot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Does anyone have the Desire wallpaper that I can use to set? I liked that one
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eujene:
no way yet. For now, they doesn't work with Sense
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
You cant, and its not likely to until HTC get around to finally releasing their official update for the Hero.

Whenever that may be........??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
you cant, and tbh its not worth it, it will drain the battery and performance. Also it doesnt offer much gain.

For any one whos interested :D

woo:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Go away......

SERIOUSLY THIS IS THE LAST TIME I AM GOING TO SAY THIS (well probably not)

LIVE WALLPAPERS DO NOT WORK IN THIS ROM!!! There is no fully working live wallpaper function in any rom on the hero yet this is why it is not included.

Will it come in the future? Maybe not but we will have to wait and see.

Is it worth it? NO it drains your battery and slows your phone down.

End of rant! I only said this like 2 pages back

People please try to read the thread, or search. I know its long but try your best.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
In answer to Nathan's question

1.No

2.No

I too face bugs which have been posted here by others before:

Gallery- When touching the camera button, gallery FC's

Switching orientation causes gallery to be weird

Navigator- The "Navigation" and "View Map" buttons don't do anything

GPS- I don't think the GPS works properly; Waited for Navigator (started via Nav Launcher) to get GPS location but that didnt happen

Also, not really a bug but when I create an Exchange account in HTC's mail app, I am now told to set a password which I must enter when unlocking the phone. This disn't use to happen in 1.5 and if possible I would like to avoid it now. Any help would be much appreciated.

PS still on 3.0 ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Google Maps NAVIGATION works fine.

Go into Maps, set directions, press NAVIGATE.

It does NOT work through Navigator. I suspect this is simply due to me not naming the Maps.apk correctly. I left it as Maps4.XbyBrutetcetc.apk.

Hence, it's not linking correctly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
1.Yes, followed the thread since day one, and tried out all Villain ROMs

2. Yes, I have had a lot of issues with missing widgets, doubled widgets and so on in the past. The last ROM is perfect. No problems at all with widgets.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
Whats the cpu widget??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reidefors82:
It seems like the camera-app have some trouble taking many pictures very fast. One time the phone rebootet, the other camera-app closed down

edit: And no problem next time. Hmm, maybe me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reinert:
whot is -wipe DVLIK-CACHE (or whatever its called) there is only 1 thing there starts whit wipe=
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reidefors82:
overclock widget
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
I thought that had been taken off the market??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
ah ok, what recovery image are you using?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reidefors82:
I downloadet it just yesterday after wipe
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] salahag:
When I set up my exchange it said that exchange will apply security settings, I accepted but I didn't see any changes so far security-wise. But one difference though, in the screen timeout settings, there's one extra selection "15 minutes (Exchange ActiveSync policy)" that might be realted to it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Do you have a copy of that wallpaper you can upload and/or email to me?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reinert:
im using "RA-HERO-v1.2.2"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
Cool, I had it a while ago and had to change to setcpu after it disappeared, never could get on with setcpu properly though. Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
You might want to upgrade to the newest version then you can wipe the other bits you need too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reinert:
how? i can not start my phone
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
do you know where it is located in the file system? if so yes i can get it for you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
Put the latest amon zip on your sd card
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Ok first step

Download another rom (any rom on this forum)

Wipe and flash it.

When you up and running flash the newest RA recovery

Then do full wipe (all options) and flash VillainRom 3.1

What is that widget in the center ? Also did anyone noticed a moving "fog" that appear over the home screen occasionally ? Wat's that ? LiveWallpaper?

in this case send it back to htc for warranty or repair.

if you want help you need to tell what is wrong with your phone, and what you did to achieve this.
