What I think so far!

Wishes --

5MP Cam, still reboots phone.

I miss the old bootscreen.

I would really love to see a quick uninstall feature. Hold an icon on remove for long enough, and it asks if you would like to uninstall. I really think that's a great thing to have.

Removal of Peep and Stocks

Ability to adjust amount of home screens, I honestly have never needed 7. I usually stick with 3. This is more of a preference wish :P

Infinite looping home screens, so the ability to slide from the 7th to the first by going right.

When entering a phone number into the dialer, I would like to see my contacts names, either in place of the number or included with it, and not just their number if I search by dialing a part of their number.

On top of the dialer search, I dont think I like the people being listed horizontally, I feel that it would look nicer and be easier if they were in a list form.

Handscent SMS - So much better than stock! Personal preference...

Astro - Love having this from the get go to reinstall apps quickly.

Somewhat dont like that the home, phone and widget icons buttons still show when I open all programs. Doesn't interfere with anything, but i think its looks bad.

What I like --

The loading bar for browser :)

The overall speed of this ROM

The LOOK of everything, a "light" theme might look nice :) but themes arent your job!

I like the Recent app list in the notification bar.

Sorry if my wishes list is too long. But you cant have too many wishes :P

Overall love the ROM! Such great work!

EDIT 2:

Had a problem with doubling widgets, but removed all from homescreen, including all icons, and did a reboot. Fixed it! :)

this is the latest one
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] izmar:
I dunno if it was a good idea to upload that, even if it's password protected.

Someone may crack it, then distribute it... Probably not.. I dunno!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] holyshit1:
Me need a open beta , no for premium members , i can't download from link in first post .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 2lucky4u:
Well... I think is is much easier to just donate some bucks than crack a zipfile.. The password isn't the easiest to crack eather...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] izmar:
I know I know, I'm just being a worry wort. Shouldn't have said anything! I'll just go back to enjoying this rom now :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gtot:
Hi Nathan..

It is still running fine, with nice speed.

Besides for me missing my other email and contacts apps i also am really sad that you went back to the old dialer. It is so bad compared to the other one.

I also like some others miss hancent, android contacts and so on.

Cheers and thanks for nice work

Gtot.

PS: You were right about me not missing the Expresso part ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Still having problems with the stock browser, it just randomly closes (doesn't even FC just closes)

Anyone else experiencing this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] izmar:
I'll reupload that for you as soon as it finishes downloading.

I haven't been experiencing any browser FC yet. I'll let you know if I do!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] holyshit1:
OK . Thank you , but don't upload in rapidshare .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 2lucky4u:
Use the one from Magaupload:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=B3N3SSSG

I can always upload it to dropbox or skydrive, but that will take about 1 hour..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] izmar:
Not sure if this is a problem, but I can't use USB mode without debugging being turned on. It's more of a pet peeve thing than a problem. Annoying to see 2 USB notification icons.

Superuser permissions FC's. Can't access titanium backup, or any program that requires root access.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] holyshit1:
Sorry , but i have beta 3 me need a beta 4 .

Guess I may have to use Dolphin browser if I keep having problems with stock.

I have only experienced it while on XDA on my phone so far though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] holyshit1:
Thank you very much .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bajo76:
Does some one have the problem with google navigation? It freeze my phone, so that i have to pull the battery out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I too am having issues with the stock browser. Dolphin is fine again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
nprussel could you send me the link please?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] izmar:
Hey NP, any idea as to why superuser isn't working? When an application requests superuser permissions, it doesn't show anything then FC's. I really want my overclock widget!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Not too sure.. it's working for me!

Anyone else having issues?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phanes:
Nathan, thanks for Jbed!

Possible time schedule for working apps2sd and push?

ROM is running fast and stable enough for daily use!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bajo76:
superuser working fine here, but still the problem with google navigation. nobody else have this problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] olly_p:
Could you send me a pm please:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
NP on Jbed. :)

Apps2SD - I thought I'd added it; sorry if that's not the case. I'll TRY and get it in the public release in a couple of days.

Push should just be a signature issue, but I can't seem to fix it.

I have a list of about 4 or 5 more things to try, but I don't see it being sorted before public release. It is VERY high on my list of priorities though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Yes - Navigation isn't working.

It's an OpenGL issue (same reason Gallery3D hangs). I'm working on it as a priority.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phanes:
"Apps2SD - I thought I'd added it;..."

shell is responding with:

"can not find apps2sd"

Was just wondering why? Anyway, well done! Switched from Vanillain now to Villain for daily use. Thanx!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Forgot to add one little file. Lol.

Sorry :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
what's this file that you forgot to add? can we add it ourselves?

dear nprussell

as one of your donator i had the privilege to try the new rom.

it's great and no FC till now.

only Q i have is why there's no contact sync?

Ronen
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 13oots2:
Very happy so far, only problem is the much mentioned repeat widgets. Also I miss the Villain theme;)

I did say that signal strength was a problem, am guessing that my provider has incresed capacity in my area as I am getting much better service now.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] _stefans_:
I have installed the prerelease, and the speed is just like the modaco rom (thats amazing!). Fastest 2.1 rom I have ever tried. :D

That said, you already know about the HTC Widgets are doubled, but I have an issue where the list of htc widgets gradually get smaller for each reboot, and right now only settings and messages are available. I will reflash to see if it solves it (as mentioned in your email).

Please revert back to standard htc theme, without heroSense (or where ever those transperant buttons in the bottom comes from) - the theme is not what distinquishes your rom from others - its the speed and number of features that work.

Also I get a "could not load widget" in the list of all applications (after pressing the Home icon), dont know if an image is just supposed to be there.

Other than that, imap, google mail, browser, wifi, 3g, facebook, and sync works flawlessly.

AGAIN: speed is sooo nice :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Finally decided to fix an ongoing contacts issue I have been having for ages.

After several FC of Gapps and HTC Contacts and using google contacts on the pc to merge contacts that somehow got split I think i have finally got one contact for each person :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nymphe:
But the kernel version on developer.htc.com is 2.6.27 but the version on this ROM is 2.6.29

And i can't find a kernel with this version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
The SenseHero theme is contributing to the speed of the rom. All images used have been heavily optimized.

Oh, and it's beautiful :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hurtcake:
Great work! Loving the new look and speed.

When i remove one of the preinstalled apps, the HTC-Widget menu, get filled with doubled widgets and "false" text. (image: h t t p://dl.dropbox.com/u/573882/CAP201002182326.jpg

And suddenly i got two Dolphin Browsers :S (thought only widgets got doubled)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cstenager:
More on HTC widgets

Just to try to clarify further what the problem seems to be with the HTC widgets:

Do you guys see the same behaviour ?

The widgets that i can select change on every boot.

Example: i could see the mail widget and added it to my first home screen on the left, and the twitter widget to the first homescreen on the right, and the clock widget to the center homescreen.

After a reboot, the mail widget had been replaced with twitter, and the homescreen where twitter used to be was now blank, and the clock widget on the center homescreen had been replaced with an album widget.

Beyond that, the rom is fast !!!

Thanks to Nathan

Claus (cstenager)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eldrid:
does this rom support automatic apps to SD? if not what commands have to be used to activate it? or does this not have apps to sd at all?

anyone tried using google maps ? When I enter google maps, then settings -> my location, it says my location is unavailable and to enter it in the main settings. when I do this, it still can't find my location.

is this the infamous "network location" bug everyone has been talking about ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marianne2:
no, not in 1.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] crilent:
you can try to flash the NetLoc-signed.zip by ext93.

i fixed the same problem.

i wiped data and i have same problem.

I have 1.1 version

Hi I still can't Get google nav to work it just goes back to the destination screen.:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] smiff:
Hi

First of all, nice ROM.

Everything seam to be working well except Gmail Auto-Sync. I don't know if it's bug of feature, but no one of 2.1 Roms I tried auto-syncs gmail.

With MDC3.1, I send a mail to my gmail account and in a few seconds I receive the notification but with Villain1.1 or other 2.1 ROM there's no notification.

Anyone knows what would be the problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] an0therus3r:
I noticed maybe something important for everyone but mostly for nprussell.

Yesterday i have tried this rom a couple of times , flashed , reverted, flashed etc. a total of 3 times.

After playing with all stuff i wasn't satisfied so put back my nandroid backup of mcr.

Untill this morning i again wanted to give it another shot.

So i did what i did last night manual wipe and flashing 1.1 and guess what, everything seems to work so far even gmail but i'm not sure (need to try out more)

Anyway, it took me 4 times to make this rom work proper as intended by developer.

Just to let you all know.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] npoldrug:
can someone tell me how can i disable my hero to sync all of my facebook friends to phonebook?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dolby71:
What worked on the 4th time that didn't on the first three? maybe my rom's bad too
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] misiak.pb:
Exchange not working in 1.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] an0therus3r:
I only noticed that now after 4 times it feels much better as previous flashings.

Another thing, in start post there is stated to reboot after first boot but before i reboot weather widget works after that it's broken and the mentioned fix is needed.

fc's are still the same
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] supadupa111:
Excellent work! Didn't get to read through the entire thread but here are my list of minor bugs:

- Wifi can't seem to locate access points that are hidden

- There was a slight lag when I was adding widgets, selected power control, it did not appear. Immediately tried again and it worked. Then I noticed that there was additional power control widget behind the widget (messages) on the adjacent page. Had to remove top widget to the bottom. No FC.

because chinese gfw is get this link down

every chinese user can't download this rom

can you make a mirror simple?tks

me too.

still no solution
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kyrillos:
Hi guys...

Can't sync with that rom. It starts for a while...the it shows an error connection timed out.

Did anyone managed to sync succesfully??? I really need the sync cause I use the phone as a business one and need to sync it all the time with outlook....

Any idea when this option will work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] an0therus3r:
Ok gmail pushed doesn't work indeed so i thougt what if i flashed googlebits from kagudroid but that didn't work also.

Maybe gmail is corrupt and overwriting it doesn't help so i'm gonna delete gmail stuf and try googlebits again see what happends
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] _stefans_:
Ok, keep the senseHero theme :) - no biggie.

Does 5mpx work (stable) for the camera ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I *THINK* it's the weather widget causing the problem. Removing it manually has caused a FC of Sense. After it's been removed, all widgets work fine.

I may have just done something dumb in the xml file, telling two widgets to overlap.

I'll have a good look tomorrow.

Hey everyone, I'm Nathan's server host dude, and I'm trying to figure out how the release went. I've started a thread to gather some more info.

Head on over to the [ROM Distribution Analysis] Villain 3.0pre thread and let me know how things went. I still can't post links sadly, so here's the usual hxxp style link for you, lol:

I had a FC using the weather widget also, at first it worked but after reboot the clock(w/weather) was replaced by a simple clock (probably just the first analog clock theme - index 1 or something).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J-Zeus:
Great work Nathan - massive leap forward:D

ROM test

- Screen wipe is half curved half straight - prefer it to be one or the other ( if posse curved )

- Intially only 3 HTC widgets

- Did a reflash and got a few more

- Did a complete wipe ( incl. Dalvik & Ext 3 part ) - got most but not clock

- Finally got them but most double listed - left it at that.

- Was doing settings and when I went back to screens it was hung in a loop - battery out to reset.

- VERY not keen on dialler - thought we were going back to stock HTC one?

- Restart got Gmail to start syncing, then no contacts pictures - had to do them all manually.

- Mobile Network widget STILL not working properly.

- Occasional HTC FC ( not often )

- For some reason if I try to add a photo to a contact from within People - it will FC, but I can assign the same photo to the contact from Albums - strange.

- When sending a text, if I look for a contact, it shows that contacts details in their entirety ( address , date of birth etc. ) and still very messily - rather than just showing their number - this is an ongoing issue.

- Unable to send MMS properly - it says I am unable to send, and keeps retrying, but if I check my messages I can see it.

- Google Skymaps again not working.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eujene:
my 2 cents on pre-release.

1. found major graphical bugs in activesync email client. Almost unusable, sorry :). And there was a nice corporate directory app. I miss it :)

2. Is it possible to get rid of blue backgrounds in dialer and browser address bar?

3. Is it possible to show in phone the list of last callers in list, not in squares? Long names doesn't fit there, so i have a long list of Johns without names and pictures.

4. Is it possible to have non-transparent vanilla lockscreen here? As we discussed in another thread a few days ago?

5. Google search is not searching contacts. And it should be - like in vanilla ROMs.

600. Many thanks for uber-fast ROM. That's great!

I think the problem with google skymaps is the same with earth, navigation and etc... the opengl thingy. he's working on it though.

My bugs so far:

Lock screen half curved half straight - not sure if it's a bug or if that's on purpose. anyway it's ugly :)

Sometimes when I get to the main home screen it shows the "loading..." message and actually won't do ****. have to restart to fix. (or maybe kill the sense process, didn't try yet)

Can't assign contact photo - People FC's

Facebook syncing is weird

SMS contact - showing weird numbers

This is still running like greased lighning and I've still not done a restart

(I want to see what goes wrong if I don't but thus far nothing)

Further to a pm conversation between Nathan and myself, he knows about the lock screen and it'll be fixed for next release

Issues i've found are:

The people widgit isn't listed

There aren't any other clocks

You can't add pics to people it FC's

Boot isn't Villain's boot screen anymore :( I rather liked that.

I'll restart shortly and see if that resolves anything and update accordingly

Brilliant work as always Nathan.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_squalll:
The ROM seems great but I experienced a weird trouble.

The very first boot was ok, every HTC widget was available.

After the first reboot I had no HTC widget anymore and all my widgets on my homescreens disapeared.

Finally, after each reboot, some widgets appeared, some were missing and some others were doubled. That's weird!

I'm flashing the ROM again now and I'll let you know if it's ok.

EDIT: It seems to work fine after reflashing :)

Great ROM fast, beautiful and very stable :)

Well done Nathan!
