Loving the Rom man!!! brilliant, fast and everything is working fine. Am i ment to have the standard Android keyboard? where has my HTC one gone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bt1980:
network location

Anybody tried flashing NetLoc-signed to this to see if Network Location via cell towers works after?

I am gonna give it a try in a sec; but that is one slow download. Any objection to mirrors being created?

Is this at all AOSP 2.1-r1 based?

I'm learning to live with the standard Android keyboard because it has voice input... still like the HTC IME for the long-press for numbers and symbols though...

APPS2SD

Hi,

Can someone elaborate on the APPS2SD instructions... do I do abd shell reboot recovery, then type the commands in the first post? I got permission errors... :confused:

Thanks

Phil

This ROM may have been perfectly functional for the creator, and in the end, he probably created it for his/her own use, if they decde to release it that's very kind, but to call them unprofessional for some missing widgets is hardly fair.

I said I would wait and if the creator added the things I missed I would flash, he added them, and not only that, but on the same day, that's the way I like to see things done, and it means I am willing to flash it even if only to help help make it perfect because that is certainly where it is headed.

I will follow up with some feedback to the creator as soon as I finish reflashing (forgot to wipe first time coming from stock ROM, worked fine but location services didn't work right.)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChrisShUK:
Ye, anyone know where to get these?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phil_UK:
Weather widget faulty for me also in UK...will retry wipe/flash :)

Also network location not working, can patch from zip though.

As for all this MCR whining...I appreciate the effort and chance to try upcoming features today...it's not like your paying for this people...grow up eh ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
What's missing? I have People, I have Mail, I have Weather and I have Clocks?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] M3 SMGII:
works very nice!

Fast and stable!

But is it normal that the keys doens't lit? the 4 keys are not lit but the trackball does flash by incoming calls

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] an0therus3r:
Installed rom but must say i'm a bit disappointed after reading all posittive comments here.

All HTC widgets should work but i feel different. Weather widget doesn't work, can't add/remove dansk location.

News/weather widget doesn't work.

Some labels are blue others black

Browsing menu wasn't smooth but overall , nice job
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Okay, I appreciate the positive comments, as well as the negatives.

As for those comparing it with Modaco - It's never going to compare with Modaco. Modaco uses Cupcake.

Rather than whining, just let me know what's not working, and I'll try and fix it for you - I can't say fairer than that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xavi_7_77:
Hello, this version works and automatic synchronization of Gmail that I've commented before?

A greeting and thanks for your work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChrisShUK:
The calendar is the main one i use that i cannot find. I am sure there are others missing too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aze2:
need more locate inside...

and soo many programm's inside.

But thanks, work fine ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
The calendar is my fault. I completely forgot about that one!

I'll add it in for the next release!

(oops!)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChrisShUK:
Thats sweet, many thanks and keep up the good work :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Arasthel:
I believe the Music Widget was missing on the last version I flashed, too. It's not that important, but I use it very often.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
does network location work for all of you? because it is not working for me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toomie05:
Awesome rom! sweet stuff you have here! i like it all but when i tried to set up exchange for it i got through to the end and clicked finish setup up and it said failed to create account its never happened before and fix :) thanks awesome rom!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChrisShUK:
That would also be fab! can you please let us know if you are planning on doing this?

No pressure!!! lol
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fugutrev:
Firstly. this is a great rom among other great roms. Secondly, I'm sure the author doesn't need to hear the same "Blah blah doesn't work, back to Modaco for me!!". At the moment, any rom based on 2.x is going to be a little squiffy from time to time, it's part of the fun of being able to test something, a little preview if you will of something we're all looking forward to.

If you're looking for stability, go back to the official HTC rom releases. If like me, you like to dabble in software that's undergoing testing, to enjoy running your phone on bleeding edge software, then pull up a seat and give some constructive responses. Crashes will happen, but that's why you wear a helmet.

Anyway, with that off my chest, great rom indeed :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Fluesopp:
As I mentioned previously, Barcode scanner gives me force closes. So does the Connect Bot. Anyone know why?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sullan:
hello !! great work !!

But how can i enable multitouch on google maps and gallerry photo 3d from nexus ???

Sorry for my bad english because i'm french !!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
As stated in the very first post, calendar isn't working at the moment.

I think you're reporting a problem with bluetooth lag?

It's difficult to understand what you're asking, which is the only reason I haven't answered. Sorry for the delay.

for now I have been able to make a will these things I hope that can serve you somehow
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] amda:
Hi,

Im kinda new to this. What should I do after the flash? It goes back to the main system recovery menu (with reboot/power off options).

I tried reboot option, but my Hero got stuck after the "HTC" logo screen (after the green Android guy poke its head from the "Hero" logo screen. The animation goes on for couple of mins, and then it stops as well! I left it like that for 15mins, but still the same - power button didnt work either, so had to take the battery out.

Then I tried "power off" option (after going back to 1.5 backup from nandroid and following the steps from start). Still the same!

Can anyone help me please? Im using the VillainROM 3.0.

thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] folgui:
That APN for MMS is in the file system/customize/mccmnc.xml

Hope this helps Nathan. I've tried to delete file with an update but info is still there. Perhaps if it is not included in full rom, it should work. Don't know.

Regards, folgui.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
Did you perform a wipe before you flashed the rom? You should wipe, flash and reboot. You do the wipe from the recovery menu
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I'll spend some time looking into this MMS problem before the next wave of beta. Thanks again for looking into it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] folgui:
Hi!

Trying to personalize the rom, i've deleted Footprints (2 files: HtcFootprints.apk and HtcFootprintsWidget.apk) but there still appears an entry when you add HTC widgets with name "false" corresponding to the deleted widget. I want to get rid of it. How? Anyone?

Thanks in advance.

Regards, folgui.

P.D. Sorry for this little offtopic post ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] piluco:
the principal problem is that when I go to close a phone call with the key you Close part the musical reader causing an almost total block of the telephone
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
When you remove Footprints, you should use:

adb remount

adb shell rm /system/app/*Foot*

Then it all should be okay!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] abu_121:
Hey, Loving the test rom, however i hate the old lock screen.. any chance of getting the new lock screen back?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] amda:
Yep did the wipe. Power off and fresh start did the trick. Again took about 10mins before I got to the setup menu.

I get error dialogs saying:

"The application HTC Location Service (process.com.htc.bgp) has stopped unexpectedly", asking me to force close. Thats without me installing any 3rd party apps other than those that came with this ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
What do you mean by musical reader?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barryallott:
I got this when I left my phone on charge last night. Meant that the alarm did not go off. Not good as I use my phone as my alarm.

Edit: The application HTC Location Service (process.com.htc.bgp) has stopped unexpectedly
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
That's odd... I've never had this!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
The proximity sensor causes a couple of in-call problems.

I might remove it actually.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I had the same issue this morning. Out of interest, do you have Overclock Widget setting your CPU low with the screen off?

Alarm seems to go off just fine with screen on.

I'll add this to the list of things to fix.

Use 'Shake to Wake Alarm' from the market for now. It's great anyway... really forces you to wake up ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sullan:
nobody have answer for my questions ???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J-Zeus:
Two other small issues:

- Sometimes the email icons in the notification bar wont activate the email app I tap them and nothing happens.

- I doesn't seem to check for emails overnight. Before when I got it in the morning it would list all the emails I'd received overnight.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Anyone having overnight problems of any kind (ie; Alarm not waking them, not receiving emails overnight), please answer the following:

Do you have Overclock Widget, or anything similar installed?

If so, what are your 'Screen Off' settings?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gtot:
Hi Nathan.

As i wrote in my comments for the beta 2 test, the Email.apk cannot be installed on the 3.0 beta. I worked perfect in 2.1.

As I understood, you are also fan of other applications, so i hope you might look into this as well. I really think the email.apk is much better than mail.apk. Also the corpcal and corpgal are fantastic when using Exchange.

Once more, thank you for all you fantastic work. Just love this rom.

Gtot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Nathan you are a legend, will flash later and test.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
I had the overnight problem with alarm. Sometimes it goes off, sometimes not. But I solved it by using the Klaxon alarm. It's not free, but does the job.

Not using Overclock Widget
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gtot:
I don't have any problems with the alarm over night, but i am also running SetCPU instead of overclock widget, as overclock created errors for me when adding the widget. I have Min 245 Max 384 as sleep settings in the SetCPU application.

Gtot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dakeyras:
Speaking of overnight problems, my alarm went off and I did the ‘slide to turn off’ but then the phone froze and I had to pull the battery. Did get overnight mail though.

Using overclock widget with screen off at: min 122880 max 245760

Another thing I forgot to mention earlier is whenever i unlock the phone i get a 'set new clock successful' every time
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J-Zeus:
I did have it but no longer. Where do you find 'Screen Off' settings? I looked in settings, and Spare Parts.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterRio:
Just installed testrom 3.0, but can't seem to find Google Maps Navigation after install. Am I missing something?

BTW, first impression: it's FAST!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barryallott:
I dont have overclock widget or any cpu altering thing installed (aint got round to that yet).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barryallott:
I is added to be installed automatically but if it aint there (check for the app 'maps')

it is included in the zip downloaded, unzip and copy the apk to the device and install using astro
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] amda:
Did anyone get bluetooth file transfer working? I was trying to send a image (from the gallery app) to my laptop (running windows 7 pro), gets to the point where I have to confirm the pin at both ends. Then the laptop says connection was terminated by the device. Doesn't have any problems with transferring files over BT using a cheap nokia!

Any idea what is going on? thanks for any help!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterRio:
I have maps, but no Nav option from there. Als no loose nav icon as in previous versions of Villain.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J-Zeus:
BLUETOOTH - I have found it work very well in these ROMs - pairs with my devices ( Satnav, earpiece, computer for file transfer ) - although I don't have an audio headset.

NAVIGATION - I use an app called NAV Launcher. I find it works OK - but seems very slow on the road when it has to use my phones data network ( rather than WiFi ).

Just a cosmetic observation - I preferred the blue highlights ( rather than the stock green ) - is this hard to change?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thieum la fouine:
autokiller

hi all,

can someone sent me the way autokiller manage the memorie, I can't find again the information in this tread ;p

thanks for your help.

Nathan, you're a chief your rom is awesome !!!!:cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterRio:
Bugs so far:

- Trying to change the homescreen background doesn't work; leads to a black screen after phone tries to open albums.

- Trying to change the lockscreen background doesn't work; leads to phone restarting Sense (and taking quite some time to do so). edit: phone wasn't able to restart sense, had to reboot eventually.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
Several of your issues from #1928 have been addressed.

Calenderpad from the markethas been suggested as a replacement for the HTC calendar

Your description of issues with bluetooth are very difficult to understand. However I've personally experienced no such trouble, have you tried unpairing and repairing the headset? Have you tried a different headset?

I'm also pretty sure the issues with Facebook FC (unexpected interruption) has been discussed and a solution/workaround has been suggested but as I have little interest in facebook I can't remember the solution.

It would also be helpful to know which version of the ROM you are currently using.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
It's down to the OBEX push being added with 2.0, prior to that it wasn't possible with any Android build. (at least thats the information I've read)

Android unlike nokia's symbian OS is a new and evolving OS so not everything works quite the way it should yet. Google haven't had quite as long as Nokia to iron out all the bugs/implement everything properly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Download "Nav Launcher" from the market, its free and will sort you out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JayCe98:
Hi,

this ROM is working very well for a beta :-)

The main concerns I have faced so far:

- several crashed of com.htc.bgd

- battery charge seems to decrease very fast: less than a day to drop below 50% while with the same use, I stayed at 80-90 with the stock ROM

- with initial configuration of the SMS readers, I received one that I could never find again in the history, not sure if this is linked to the SMS application popup (but I doubt I click on a erase buton!)

anyway, thanks for the work !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I would usually say that with a whole days use losing only 50% is very very good.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I also find that the battery life is good on this rom. Much better than on the 2.X AOSP roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterRio:
Ah, thanks! Forgot the name of this missing link. Works now!

Maybe include this in final build?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I don't get this, at all. I believe it's to do with the HTC Network Location app. Rather than the standard NetworkLocation.apk.

I'll look into it - it might be as simple as using a different version of the app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
On a NETLOC front mine does nto always pick my location, well it does...

Let me explain :) the location always seems to be correct but sometimes it just says "current city" instead of where I actually am but the data it produces is still the same.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Yeah, the network location is slighty intermittent.

It's the HTC app/widget rather than the phone itself not finding the location. You'll find that although your widget shows 'Current City', loading google maps will show you an accurate location.

Another thing, I'll include Nav Launcher in the next beta. I removed it by mistake actually.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Just a thought - I never bothered recommending a radio.

The recommended radio is: 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 or later.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
and a very good radio that has been for me as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Just got my quick laptop back from the manufacturer! :) It's been off for repairs for 2 weeks!

This means - More dev work possible!

I'm also really close to getting that Hero. A few more small donations and I've got it!

I'll order it on Thursday if I have enough by then... so it arrives Friday Morning for my 4-day weekend. :)

Thanks again everyone; I'm so grateful for your generousity.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 13oots2:
Sorry not posted much in the way of feedback this week, been little busy getting my business going again.

Am having very few issues with this ROM and am very pleased so far. As reported Netloc is a triffle sporadic but displays correct info for location.

Neocore bench is about 3FPS slower than 2.1 ROM but am more interested in usability than benchmarks. Interface is very fast and am looking forward to full V3 release.

Thank you Nathan:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JayCe98:
Indeed, in heavy use situation, this would be good, but yesterday, in fact, I nearly didn't use my phone.

I have the impression the power consumption is roughly the same if we use the phone a lot or only a little, as if some power savings facilities were not working as expected.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] folgui:
+1

For the same personal use, it's better than in Villain 2.x

Regards, folgui.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I suppose you don't have to worry about battery consumption after having just bought the 3000Mha battery ;)

I'll be getting one of those soon, I just want to see a side pic of the phone to see how bulky it is!

If you can assist with this, I'd be very grateful!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
So Nathan how did you get voice dialer to work? It seems to do nothing for me

Edit: it seems to pick up some things and not others.

Is there anyway to get this app to run by pressing a shortcut? or by pressing the button on my BT headset?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterRio:
- SIM-contacts still show in People app. This is still a big minor.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
This can be disabled by going to the contacts app and unticking the relevant setting.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 13oots2:
Will get the copystand setup, and get the lighting right. Give me a few hours since it is setup to do comics at the moment, what a lousy job I have grading them all (reading to the uneducated lol).:rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] taipan541:
Not complaining, just reporting. Using VillainROM 3.0 Beta3.

-Starting Up of Phone

have about 55mb~ RAM of free space. After ending tasks that I dont need, free space will be about 70mb~.

-5hrs and more of switching on the phone

RAM will start decreasing, about 30-35mb of free space.

Is this normal to you guys? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterRio:
That's how it should work, I know...

Settings in Android Contacts app:

- tab: contacts > menu > display options

- gmail account, there I've ticked the contacts I wish to have shown

- Only for telephone: none ticked there

Settings in Sense People app:

- menu > view

- ticked: Google

Right after this: no SIM contacts, but I'm also missing some Google contacts ( phone is done syncing). Doing somethong else on the phone and return to people and my SIM contacts are back.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
hmm strange one
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
@MisterRio - Are you sure you're not rebooting?

My sim contacts are back in when I reboot... AGAIN.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MerXury13:
Browser

How to disable the mobile view of webpages? 'Cause i want to view a Flash-included website OR will flash doesn't work with the Dolphin?

...will you try to work on the stock Browser?:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterRio:
Yah. I payed special attention to this, since it already was an issue in the previous version of you ROMS. Still there. This is a biggie for me, also because Hero won't let you phisically remove SIM contacts.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I think Dolphin just incorporates the stock browser settings as well, so disable mobile view in the usual settings and it should work in Dolphin.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mouseymousey:
Been using this ROM for a half a day or so now and I like it. Nothing I can really add to the bug reports.

One request though, on the Vanilla (Vanillain?) ROM you created there is no slide to unlock screen, this means that when you wake the Hero you go straight to the pattern unlock screen. Is there a way of doing that on this ROM? I know the pattern unlock is a bit flaky but I find it's ok if I enter the pattern very quickly.

I've already un-installed the HTC lock screen but now I've got the standard Android lock screen.

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Oh - and surprised you haven't hit your target for a dev Hero yet. Come on people, cough up!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MerXury13:
Isnt possible! the settings are others like in the stock and when i want to go to www.bild.de it shows only the mobile version! want the "normal" view because of the flash which is included!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Ok then try this one

Go to Dolphin and go to settings (menu - settings) then change your "user agent" to desktop, this will make websites think your using a PC so mobile sites should defiantly not show up.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MerXury13:
Yeah thanks Dude, this works for me!:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterRio:
- Change of homescreen seems to work from settings > personalize

- Change of Lockscreen is also a no-go from there; Sense FC again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
No problem, just remember you may need to change it back at some point if you want a mobile site.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
This is due to "albums" not existing on the phone I think. Go to Gallery find your picture then try to set it that way.
