Hello!

Your 2.0 BETA is a great rom! :D

Personally, no important problems with it (location works, almost widgets work, with locale2 80% in spanish, etc.). It's fast and beautiful. It's ok for my daily usage.

Thanks. I've made a donation to help you and your great work.

Regards, folgui.

I had some problem of saving contact

I cannot save the contact in this last release rom.

anything i can do?

pls help

Wow, thank you very much! :)

I'm just testing a minor update...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kayceejayh:
Ooh tell us more.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Philip5:
I know I can change locale to other languages with Morelocale 2 but that only effect the menus etc and not spell checking. Is spell checking for other languages (in my case Swedish) something that is stripped from the ROM or still not available for this kind of ROM at all? Is there a way to install other dictionaries (and maybe keyboard changes) to this ROM?

Right now it's the most annoying missing feature for me when I write a SMS that either I have to turn off spell checking or it suggests English words when I write in Swedish. In other (Cupcake) ROMs I can easily switch language for just spell checking in the keyboard settings without changing locale.

I have tried to use keyboard apps on Market but they doesn't work with the latest and greatest Android 2.1 yet.

Any hints on how to solve this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adecot:
Strange! it works for me in french with morelocales. I'm using Touch Input. Maybe the implementation of Swedish on morelocales ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:

########## Minor Update (2.0.1) - NO WIPE ###########

The update adds:

- Optimized Rosie (PNG Optimized) - should be quicker

- Added HTC Stocks App & Widget

- Attempted FIX on Media Uploader (Please test)

- Attempted MMS FIX (Please test)

- FIXED Doubling of HTC Widgets

As I say, only a minor one today. Optimising Rosie has taken an age!

2.0.1 Incremental Update
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
If you can help me fix gmail, I'll be forever in your debt. Lol.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:

Advice on the following

Going to give this ROM and Update a try tonight.

What's the best way to do the following:

3. DELETE Both HTC Clock Widgets (there are two on top of one another)

4. ADD HTC Clock/Weather Widget
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mr._E:
Google Maps with Nav won't work

Hi, anyone else got problem getting Google Maps with Nav working?

As expected the NavLauncher downloaded GoogleMaps. When searching for an address, NavLauncher finds it and starts the Nav app. After a split second the Nav app exits and returns to the NavLauncher and won't start the navigation.

I have a faint memory that NavLauncher once asked me for root permission in one of the ROMs (can't remember which one) but that's not the case here...

Any suggestions? :cool:

Otherwise an excellent ROM so HUGE creds to nprussel (don't forget to donate! I did already and will soon again)! Only thing I would wish for is A2SD but will eventually be fixed perhaps... :)

Cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
The same way you delete any widget

any add it back in the usual way
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Akela:
Hi, Thank you very much for your ROM! Good job!

Buts:

1) keypad dialer! Please get back a standard htc sense keyboard! HTC Dialer is much better!!!!!!

2) and add other languages. It is not enough Russian keyboard!

3) And we are waiting apps 2 sd!

And thanks again!

PS Sorry my french ))

I also have the same issue, 1 or 2 seconds that starts talking and black out total, great work !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] PhotoGroupie:
I have a premium Rapidshare account that i never upload to. Could probably mirror your file there for awhile, as long as it doesn't destroy my download quota lol

Gonna give this a shot tonight. Will miss gmail sync, but i can always setup the mail app for that :)

I assume with a nandroid backup i could restore my current modaco rom with everything intact if need be?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Its already been reported that google Nav is not working in any sense rom (at least not to my knowledge)

I think the dev is working on this but may have hit a wall in working it out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Diamond777:
Gonna see if closing the sense UI and staying on android platform could solve it even doew it would be a pain in the a** to have to backdoor the app like that for daily use
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dakeyras:
All the above working for me although I never had the doubling of the widgets in the first place strangely. media uploading tested with upload to facebook, mms tested both send and receive
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Let us know how that works out
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
did you not? When you go to add a new htc widget did it not list everything twice?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Azure465:
Any idea why the HTC widgets from market dosen't work? Just says install unsuccessful
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:
@Azure465 try to run logcat(install adb, open terminal/cmd go to the tools folder, type adb logcat and you see a log, look for errors when you get the error)

flashing now 2.0, after that the update and then trying to fix some things :), almost done with set my stuff back to my pc!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dakeyras:
not from my install of 2.0 last night i don't think. unless i'd gone completely mad and missed the doubling up last night
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kayceejayh:
I still haz double HTC widgets as per my earlier screenshot - sorry to say Nathan!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adecot:
I get from time to time (especielly after a reboot) the message "HTC sense activity (from HTC sense application) doesn't answer... FC-wait.

Seems there are some slow downs from time to time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] d3sm0nd:
Must say.. I didn't like 1.0 at all, it was stable but laggy... 2.0.1 is awesome so far, everything works great. Network location works without any patches...

BTW, look at this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=622666&page=8

I tested it and it speeds up the ROM more, maybe you could integrate this tweak in the next versions. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GertuZz:
Things are getting better and better!

A few things I noticed after the last update (2.0.1):

- Folders and live folders don't look the way they should. If you open a created folder you'll see what I mean. The folder is too small or something. Icons fall outside of the box.

- I can't find ScummVM on the Android Market. Only the addons are in the market. I'm not sure if this is due to the custom Villain ROM? Strange thing though...

- No Facebook/Flickr/Twitter integration yet?

- Switching to landscape mode while typing with the virtual keyboard(for example in the browser) is somewhat laggy.

- Can you add the HTC Contacts? It's better than the Google one.

I use the Villain-ROM as my daily ROM now. Just to see if it runs smooth now, how the battery-life is and if bugs show up. If so, I'll let you know.

Btw... The people at HTC should give you a job, man! You do a better job as one person than the whole team at HTC haha. ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:
ok found a bug, when you do a fresh install 2.0 and after that immediately 2.0.1 is sense gone :O

installed fine now anyway :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
I had the same issue. But I chose to install the Espresso Rosie as a replacement, because I like it more:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:
is it me or is adb not working on this rom?? gives all the time the error that it haven't any permissions...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
Adb works fine!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:
Super user works here fine btw?

fixed now :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Diamond777:
Well testing for an hour or so and Facebook does not sync but we kind of knew that, also slight lagging in keyboard landscape but your def getting there great going!

Waiting for the next update!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:
is contacts working(from google) by everyone? because it wasn't working for me, but fixed it now :)

gmail is working for me now to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

extract this zip file(look @ the attachtment)

push the files to /system/app/

can anyone test it?

gonna take some sleep now, if it works i will make tomorrow a update zip file(so you can flash it!) or if anyone want to do it before i take the time for it :)

i haven't make a update zip before, so need to find out how ....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dakeyras:
my facebook is syncing to my contacts which are from gmail and exchange. just as an aside I have two facebook sync options (facebook and htc facebook) not sure which one i used when i synced. I also have the facebook widget, not sure if that would make any difference to trying to sync?

my gmail contacts have been syncing without any problems, did you get gmail (push) working? and if so do share :D Aha, I'll download and test it now!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:
yeah push is working, look @ my previous post.....

atleast you need to wait a few seconds(some times a minute, but you don't need to press refresh :) )

btw i haven't tested the 2.0 without gmail fix so much, but i see now multiple gmail accounts, was that avaible before the fix?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adecot:
good to hear for gmail. What about google calendar synchro ? does it work now ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I've just made it into an update for you. Testing it now. If it works, I'll credit you of course. Thank you :)

EDIT - Doesn't seem to be working mate. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:
i haven't changed the calendar sync ;) and i don't use it, so gonna try to fix it now :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dakeyras:
unfortunately it didn't work for me, no push alas. tried it twice with reboots :( sorry to say.

As to multiple gmail accounts I 'think' it was supported before but cant confirm as I hadn't tried it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adecot:
Sorry to insist but without the calndar sync the ROM is nearly useless for me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:
uhmzz very strange,

it is working for me :S?

gonna test some other things ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dakeyras:
good stuff. If it works for everyone else I'll just go for re-flashing. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:
do you mean the auto sync or the force sync? because when i press refresh it sync ok ! but i looks like the auto sync of the calendar is broken(don't know if i fixed anything, i have tried 1 thing, so you need to say if it wasn't working @ all .... )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adecot:
I mean the auto sync. The force sync works well. (always did)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:
ok, gonna try to fix it tomorrow, going to sleep now :)

Hi there

Did the option for pattern swipe to unlock dissappear ?

(Can't seem to find it, only a password option ?)

Thanks for a great rom !

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] steveoy:
Okay, the problem is not what connection I use (WIFi or 3G). I get my fav contacts from Google just fine, but the HTC Contact App is not displaying all of my Google contacts, you see.

Previously, with VillainROM 1.2, I could fix this by going to the Android Stock Contact App and set the view to all Google contact, and everything is fine. All of my Google contacts display on HTC Contact App as well.

With VillainROM 2.0.1, nprussell has removed the Android Stock Dialer and Contact App, and now I can't see all of my Google contacts anymore, just the favorite ones.

If nprussell is not going to add the Android Stock dialer and contact app back, I hope someone here knows how to fix this important problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I'll look into it for you. The contact app is kind of buggy anyway. It needs some work. I need sleep now though... I'm out for the day tomorrow, but I'll continue work on this when i get in.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eeww:
Is the Changelog (2.0 BETA) and VillainROM 2.0 TEST RELEASE are the same build rom? or is two diffence rom??

Once you uncheck "USB Debugging" open the app "USB to PC" and make desired selection.

See if you can get hold of lox_dev perhaps?

Happy to try the fix myself without an update.zip ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] incomer:
Fixed gapps!

This will fix the gmail autosync(at least for me! test it poeple!)

and it will add the feature to add a facebook account and peep account to settings> account and sync(i can't remember it was before??)

@ritdaw

don't need to know it anymore, found a autosign app for windows :) so see the update zip in the attachments!

thanks anyway :)

BTW!!!! probably you need to set-up your google account again....

and it's recommended to make a nandroid backup

Flashing now all over, see if that works :)(this order first to try> 2.0, gmail fix, boot set up gmail, flash 2.0.1.

Mod Edit: Some problems have been reported with this "update" and consequently it is not recommended.

Also anyone creating updates to a posted ROM developed by a member here, should first contact and discuss the update with the original developer, before posting in the developer's thread. This helps prevent confusion, problems and future development is not compromised.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I'm off out now for the day - I'll be working on an update when I get in this evening! :)

Few issues here

A bit slow on the keyboard (esp haptic feedback seems laggy)

Not much memory left pr. default

Is it possible to uninstall some of the apps that i do not use?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MikeChannon:
Several posts were deleted from this thread relating to updates not approved by the OP developer (rprussell). These updates had problems for some members. Updates should be passed by the original developer before posting in order to protect members and prevent confusion.

The removed posts are soft deleted and some can be replaced if I have "cut too deep" Contact me if necessary.

There seems to be a problem changing the dictionary for HTC sense. After changing locales with Morelocale2 to sv_SE the dictionary is correct (Swedish) but it is not possible to switch between dictionaries, only English is available. The Scandinavian keyboard app works and a separate dictionary con be downloaded for this (look in the settings for the keyboard app).

Sync multiple google calendars

Am I missing something or is sync for multiple google calendars broken?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aziz831:
ya i noticed the keyboard is especially laggy, and its hell to use with keyboard vibration activated.

I haven't had any FC's yet on anything, my only issue is the speed. I also noticed this ROM takes up a lot of memory, even when i have all the unnecessary apps closed i only have about 50 mb of free space as reported by Advanced task killer.

When i kill all the unnecessary apps instead of freeing up memory i usually lose a few mb its very odd. Example with some apps open i have about 24 mb of free memory, and then i would use ATK to kill all the apps and it shows i now have 20 mb of free space. I didnt have this issue with any other ROMs i have used.

I have one questions, how can i access the settings for google navigation. It appears to work fine for me in Toronto, Canada. The problem i have with it is when im using navigation, for example i need to turn left on some street the voice prompt would tell me to turn left after i have made the turn and i continue driving. So i want to access the settings and change the voice prompt to talk when im like 20 metres from the turn.

I tried pressing menu while using the navigation feature but that just causes the nav app to crash and takes me back to google maps.

Sorry for the long essay but im just trying to provide feedback about the ROM.

BTW the best 2.1 ROM available at the moment good work. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
You actually got Nav working????

I think you're the first!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kayceejayh:
Nathan,

I know it's a teeny weeny thing - but can you possibly fix it so when you press on the clock widget (where it shows the weather) it will open the weather app like it does on Sense 1.5 ? :)

Pretty please! :)

lol to the guy who got navigation working!

just a quick post, been running this all day and it's been great! been using chompsms for the first time, which is actually pretty neat once i renamed the chompsms icon to "messages"!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aziz831:
Ya i just followed the steps you specified earlier, its not perfect like i can only see the outline of my course on google maps it wont show the street view as im driving along like regular GPS do. But I do get voice prompts for when to turn but as i said earlier it gives the prompt too late.

On another note I was able to download google goggles from the market, and it works, i wasnt able to search for it in any other ROMs, but on this one it actually works too.

Now if only it was possible to get google voice working outside of USA.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GertuZz:
A few things I noticed during testing:

- The folder and (live) folders don't show up correctly when opened. Some icons float next to the folder.

- When the weather widget updates, it shows an update-time that is different from the real time.

- After making a few pictures (4 or 5) the Hero crashes and reboots.

- I removed the HTCLockScreen.apk to get the Google lockscreen (which I think is flashier). Unfortunately the background of the Google Lockscreen stays transparent. You can't change it. :-(

- Can you include the HTC Contacts? It's easier to use than the Google one.

- Virtual keyboard is somewhat laggy (especially in landscape mode).

Just wanted to let you know... ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MerXury13:
My internal free space is about 100 mb with google maps installed! Perfect!
