If you go into the settings there is the option to disable it's notfications etc, you can also pull it's widget from the screen. I'm unsure if both Handcent and the HTC messages app use the same storage area or not but they did appear to when I was looking as such removal of the HTC message app could have dire consequences on Handcent.

Hi there, I've been using your VillainROM now for a couple of days/weeks and I love it :D

I just registered to say thank you ;D

And I just donated; i hope you'll be able to keep up the good work :)

Also I have a question. I'm from Germany and I would absolutely love to have the stock htc keyboard to have predictive text (etc) in my language (German.. obviously). Is it possible for you to include this or is there any way I can get this on my phone? :)

Thanks again^^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I will certainly be donating when I can afford to do so, having work issues at the moment (almost made redundant etc...) so as soon as its blown over and I am ok and have money again you will get some beer money.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
Hi, in 2.1 i had some mms issues, i noticed in the thread you had said they were fixed. Is it fixed in the current 2.1 build or is it gonna be fixed in 3.0 and above?

Great rom though, i really like it :) :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kevinof:
I think I understand the question - The current boot options on your phone (apply any update.zip etc) will work for this rom. However you must backup and then wipe your phone first before applying this rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hennymugge:
I want that 3.0 rom SOO BADLY!!!! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] craig0r:
I would like to point out that the Mobile Network is also not working for me. As suggested to breenod, I've upgraded to the latest radio, no dice. I'll try a reflash later, but I need my phone to work for the rest of the day. Also, when enabling the Mobile Network from the Settings menu, there has been different behaviour between the two radio versions. On my previous version (63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29) it would try and then say "Connection failed." On the current radio, (63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26) it just goes back to saying "Use phone for data connection when Wi-Fi is unavailable."

I've checked my APN settings and they are just fine.

Another bug, I've noticed as I was trying to get the mobile network running is that coming out of Airplane Mode (I had BT on and Mobile Network off when I went into Airplane Mode) the phone reboots itself. Not sure if anyone's mentioned that before.

This ROM is pretty awesome so far, and if everything works as it should, that is, I get mobile network going and BT audio truly does work (gotta run to my car to grab my hands-free) I'll make a donation for sure.

EDIT: BT Audio has the same issue it does on all the other 2.1 ROMs. It plays audio for a few seconds, then disconnects. This is not when making calls, but when listening to music. Unfortunately that's a dealbreaker for me. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Neo+6210:
Thanks..

I will. I stay in India (Mumbai) and bought this handset on 31Dec. it came perloaded with this boot utility and MRC 2.8 ROM. This boot utility starts when I press home button while switching on Hero. And ask for 'update.zip' or 'any zip file' to install ROM. After I got hang on to this, I had installed MRC 3.1 with same utility.

I hope you understood this part.

Thanks.... :) wating for 3.0 with 2.1Android.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lechy:
Truly appreciate you work and time commited to this, so that's why I have donated, and will probably consider donating more in the future. Would like to participate in future BETA when available, as Im unemployed until next month so have time on my hands. Once again thanks! I hope you get your second phone!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicandris:
hmmm if i understand correctly you are asking abt the bootloader. it will not be affected by a rom change
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
You're already in the test Lenny. I have a few names shortlisted.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cstenager:
Donation on it's way

Looks like you are getting closer and closer to the dev hero :-)

Thanks for all your great work, truly a star !

All the best
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
Eagerly awaiting 3.0, sounds really good :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I have fixed SOME of the issues that have been raised in regards to the beta of Villain 3.0.

Everyone that has ever donated to VillainROM & current beta testers will receive a download link within the next 24 hours when it's uploaded.

Some issues still exist in the build, and I have had to replace a couple of HTC apps for AOSP/Market alternatives. Don't worry though... the majority of the features still exist.

So far, the current testers are reporting that they're getting between 80-105mb RAM free after killing tasks, and they're reporting CPU benchmark scores of between 150Mhz - 180Mhz.

So... it's definitely quicker.

Still, there are some pretty major issues that I am currently attempting to resolve, which is how I'm spending my exciting Friday night this weekend! ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
Any info please? cos if its fixed in current 2.1 ill upgrade like now lol.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Ah thanks mate, can't wait to try it out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Romdan:
So, when are we going to have VillainRom v.3.0? Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
I'm just waiting for Vanillain lol...but this ROM is awesome too :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
I'm just posting here as one of the beta testers to give everyone else an update.

Yes, this ROM does have one or 2 issues (plus 1 or 2 I'm sure I've added with my selection of apps and widgets).

As things stand Teeter has been added back in and appears more sensitive to movement.

I've confirmed this with Spirit Level Plus though it could just be me.

Sadly the boot screen has gone back to stock HTC (though I'm praying this is only temporary as I loved the X) oh and boot sounds are back (sad I know but I love my little android waving at me).

Oh and the far more elegant curved bar lock screen is currently there.

Onto important things.

This flies, I almost mean literally, it reacts really quickly.

I've noticed better bluetooth audio (though as before that could be me)

Phone calls don't appear to have any issues at all anymore (I couldn't pick up incoming before)

Whilst we were warned to go back to 2.1 once we'd tested I'm keeping it as my current system.

As always it's not been a disappointment and I can more than happily live with the few bugs I've found.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gtot:
Yeeehaaaa....can't wait ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MerXury13:
Little Question: How about the Open Gl which is working on your Vanillain ROm? Will it be added to this ROM ?

greets
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I requested the boot screen, I like being waved at... :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
If you can name an app I'll happily dl it and try it out to tell you. (though that won't be until later I'm afraid, still at work for 3 1/2 more hours and I've got a 3 hour drive ahead of me after that before I can get access to the market again)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
The openGL 'issues' in Villain also exist in Vanillain (wow, confusing names).

The fact remains; there is NO working OpenGL ES Lite driver available for 2.X builds. As soon as we have this, it'll get fixed. Until then, it's just a case of having the rest of the openGL drivers. 3D works fine in this rom, that has been confirmed.

Sorry to keep the rest of you guys waiting... as you can see, the testers are really helping make this great for you all.

I won't lie - there are some pretty serious issues with some of the widgets, that I'm not certain I can fix. Peep is completely broken. It outright refuses to work. I have, however, replaced it with Plurk, which is what we'll be seeing in the genuine HTC 2.1 build.

The homescreen pinch zoom and general speed of the rom is greatly increased from 2.1.

I'm working on another testbuild of the ROM when I get home in 7 hours, then I'll be releasing the second wave of the test build to all the email addresses in my paypal account (and to the current testers).

Once I have received substantial feedback on the test release, I will release 3.0. Then, of course, I'll have Sunday/Monday off, and get started on 3.1 ;)

donation

Hi Nathan

Donation sorted, should be with you now :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Thank you wiible, it's very much appreciated.

I genuinely can't wait to release the next version of this ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fabioccoelho:
Hi @nprussel, howto apply the htc original boot with sound?

Thanks a lot!

U´r ROM is awesome! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
As I've posted, they're back with the current version of 3.0

When I get hold of 3.0 Beta 2 I'll post an updated look at it.

Obviously I'm also updating Nathan as and when I find any error but as I'm sure they won't be in the final release there's no point in worrying you all with them ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fabioccoelho:
Thanks dude.

:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] emay:
Will your v3 support multiple dictionaries (like Dutch for example)?? I like your current one, but only to test it.

TIA
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] grassiekuik:
I'm rolling with his current rom. Installed morelocale2 and got dutch dictionary....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
Can you make apps2sd work please?

It would help to make transition to this rom much easier. I wont have to re-download all my apps.

I really like your rom, but have to go back to another rom because of this.

Thank you so much.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
He has already confirmed that apps2sd will be in 3.0.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
It does work in the beta (will double check) it just requires that you manually start it via adb
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
DId you all have to wipe before installing beta 3.0?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
Yes, it was a complete wipe. That doesn't mean that Nathan will necessarily require it for the final release.

When you test a beta the idea is to have a clean device so that the previous settings you had can't conflict with anything and generate issues that aren't down to the beta
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Thats a good point there, if I was more awake then perhaps I would not have asked that question in the first place.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] emay:
Of course you are right. I thought it did only change the shell language. Thanks for reminding.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
It'll definitely be a full wipe version.

If you attempt to flash it without a wipe, it'll simply not work (30x FC)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] grassiekuik:
You are most welcome :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Thats fine with me, just wanted to be clear before I did it :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] linofaria:
Hi Nathan

Donation sorted, should be with you now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
When is the new beta out?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Testing a couple of builds now.

I'm going to try and get the next beta wave out tonight/tomorrow morning, so I'll let you know well before I take the emails from Paypal.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Flame-R:
np i just put some money in my account, i made a little donation since ive been with ur ROM's from the get go.

Thanx for your geat work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Still working my arse off.

Getting a lot of Sense FCs in the latest build, so I'm working on it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Flame-R:
is there a update for every1 2day or just the beta people seen as i dont have it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I haven't released the second beta yet. That's what I'm working on!

Hang in there, I'll release it when it's working.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Flame-R:
np i sent u 2 private messages did u get them?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Broken:
Glad to see there is a lot of headway made in the new beta. Props to nprussell for taking a lot of his free time doing this!

Any info on whether or not WMA will be working in the new build?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MeqTrader:
donation should be in your account, keep up the great work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MultiMartin:
It's great that the Android community has people like you who are so dedicated to enhancing the platform. Well done for all your hard work. Please don't feel that you have a rush out the next version - release it when you are ready. I am sure everyone will appreciate your efforts even if you need longer to iron out the bugs.

I sent a donation your way this morning as a gesture of goodwill for all your hard work. I, like many others, am really forwarding to playing with Villain 3.0.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
It's 1am... and I'm almost there with the test build.

Some features still aren't working:

- Calendar (at all)

- Standard Browser (Dolphin Browser is installed by default for now)

I think these two missing features will be minor compared to how much better/quicker this rom is overall :)

I'll post as soon as it's ready to upload. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rextreme:
not working chinese keyboard

Thanks nathan, for a great rom. well, it might be stupid to ask in the first place, although I noticed you add Chinese keyboard to VillainRom 2.1.1, I am not able to launch it in messaging, or other applications, could you tell me how to do that?

And I noticed the chinese keyboard only contains "handwriting", if possible, could you add a Chinese keyboard with input methods of "stroke" and "pinyin", i have one HTC_CIME containing the both working on a1.5, don't know how it can be helpful for you to tweak it to an a2.1

Well, anyhow, a working chinese keyboard should be all fine for me and other million of hero fans.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Flame-R:
np, u gt me w8in up i gt work 2moro, lol i cant w8 this rom is going to be great.

im so eager to get this.

thanx man.

hi, i cant find a way to turn my mobile network widget on. it does not seem to work properly... can u help me pls?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
2 am here now ;) can't wait (though will be told I have to sleep soon GF isn't happy ;) )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Right: Update.

2:20am... I need sleep. I have a version uploading, and when I wake up, I'll send the link to all the testers. I haven't made the list yet from my gmail account, but basically, every email address in my inbox that has donated (and current testers) will be getting a link in the morning.

It's the last stage of the 3.0 beta. I have fixed a couple of the problems, and used work-arounds for others.

Once I've got however many people there are testing it, I'll spend some time Sunday (as I'm out all afternoon/night saturday) finishing the release build.

Thanks again to all the current testers for their feedback.

FYI to testers: Fixed messaging problems. Work perfectly with Handcent now - I know 2 of you were having issues, and I found out why.

Wow, sleep required. 10 hour day at work, then 7 hours evening shift on my comp/phone. My phone has been flashed with 14 different builds tonight...

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] satinder:
Hi

How about the BT Audio for phone calls. Only the BT Audio for Media is working for me with 2.1.1. I hope this will be fixed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] satinder:
Hi

I tried this ROM again. I think it is much better than what it was before esp with CPU overclock and Memory Manager enabled. You may want to include them in the stanbard ROM. Great WORK. Tried the BT Audio but it is working only with Media and not with calls for some reason. Any pointers?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] korangeyu:

hi, i'm following you and i can't wait for 3.0 to be released.. i loved 2.1 but i had a 3-days-old hero and i had to switch back to modaco to have sense and everyday usability... but i'm still in love with 2.1 and sense.. :D

now i just wanted to suggest you (if you did not already :D) to consider including the internal taskiller strategy like in -> xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=622666 (sorry just registered, cannot post links :D), or including Auto killer (market) by default with optimal settings and the possibility to manage them.

anyway, i keep waiting for 3.0... :D thaaank you so much for your work!

VillainROM 3.0 Beta 2 is re-uploading now. 50% complete.

I am going through the donaters now to put the mailing list together. If for any reason you have been missed, please contact me via PM.

TO ALL BETA TESTERS:

You are welcome to leave both POSITIVE & NEGATIVE feedback in this thread. I don't want hundreds of PMs to trawl through! ;) I read every post in this thread anyway.

I will post the beta test email into this thread so everyone can see what stage we're at.

TO ALL THE REST:

Some features have stopped working, and I have had to implement workarounds. However, don't let this put you off... this rom is bloody fast... Maybe Modaco fast.

Beta 3 Wave 2

Overclocking widget had to be uninstalled and re-installed due to not being installed correctly. Not sure if this was caused by enabling Apps2SD.

hi

as for the villain rom 2.1.1 , why everytime i take picture, it auto restart my phone? I really need help..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] linofaria:
for all, let it get this straight! Who would make a donation have a link to access the room Villain 3, right? I knew well, or I am wrong. I still can not get a clear answer from Nathan. Can I clarify?

peace and good tests for all;)

Ps. Finally I a have a good awser for de Natan :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vrmp:
Sadly I wasn't able to test the rom very long, since exchange mail doesn't work for me. This future is needed for me, because it is my business phone. When i tried to create and account I got an error message that it couldn't create the account.

It is not possible to change the background. If you try to do it, it gives a gallery error.

Overall speed on the roms seems good though and most things seem to work correctly. Hope you will sort the exchange mail problem, for now I'm back to Villian 2.1.

Thanks for all the time you spent on developing this rom for us. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I am in the process of backing-up before flashing, stand by for my results :)

Edit: Flashing now

Edit: Booting now - took some time on first boot but glad to see the htc boot screen back with the waving android :)

Right its actually taking a very long time to boot first time, may have to pull the battery, will wait a bit more and see what happens.

EDIT: Just wait it will boot eventually

Edit: First Impressions

- Keyboard seems to be working very well with very little lag during the set-up process. Syncing with google now then will move on to the next step.

- having trouble connecting to google server, will keep you updated

- skipped google sign in as its not connecting

- facebook won't connect either not a good start

- Had to skip most of set-up process lets see how it goes.

- rebooting phone as requested by Nathan's instructions (and usual procedure)

- Added google account manually via settings after reboot, and facebook (android not htc)

- Plurk is not working what am I doing wrong? using twitter details is that correct (OK JUST ME BEING DUMB, DON'T THINK I WILL USE PLURK)

- HTC Setup ran again successfully

- Reinstalling all apps now ( I have quite a lot of apps will take a while)

- Restoring my data

Almost time for the real testing to begin
