I got Google Force Closed and my 3G data connection don't work ???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Smallguy17:
Takes forever to boot!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nigelpwilson:
strange, rebooted and now some of the HTC widgets are gone ?!? did a full wipe before installing too....any ideas ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Wipe all unnecessary crap from SD card. I assume you used my previous Villain roms before this? If so - the widget issue may exist from before.

Wipe Dalvik too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
FYI - working on root issue that some are having.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Smallguy17:
How long sould i whait before taking the battery out when booting?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Konradwalsh:
hmmm. i am on my fourth flash.. with a triple wipe before each flash and its taking ages to boot...

i have been using the earlier leak all day without issue..

i have wiped data, dalvik and EXT

flashed again and will see what happens

i get to the new white HTC screen and it sits there endlessly
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mirotrem:
The wifi tether app needs root and seems to work fine for me. I haven't tried Titanium Backup.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tristan202:
Mine hangs at bootscreen after enabling a2sd. Ext is wiped. Was going to push everything upon boot, but it's just stuck.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nigelpwilson:
thanks Nathan, I did use your roms before but had widget issues with last one, do i need to wipe the whole sd card then ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Jamesoow:
My location is set to Ludhiana..

But I live in The Netherlands ..

Somebody got the same issue ?? That the location is not correct ?

THANKS NATHAN !!! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitedevilo:
addition to my previous post, before did full wipe, including ext parition

so now will do wipe again and flash w/o USB cable connected
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Xfight:
Flashing now ^^

Very thx !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Root issue will be sorted very soon. I found it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Smallguy17:
Plzz answer, it has taken 15-20 min to boot. I think i have apps2sd enabled? Spuld i take out the battery?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] murdoch1:
Brilliant

You are the best Nathan...........:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
It shouldn't take that long to boot. Pull and reflash after a full wipe (inc dalvik and ext)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kolaf:
I have the same problems, it never gets past loading
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Konradwalsh:
For those that its not booting... just keep wiping and flashing... mine finally booted up.. it stayed on the white screen for no more than 3-4 minutes...

so wait about 5 and it should be done if not,, try again
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hinz:
This is strange, there is no option for google account sync, and services based on your account open and then close after a second.

Think i'm gonna wipe and reflash again
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] del_toro:
n p russell... you deserve every cent of those donations! this rom is really special. it runs as smooth as an mcr and all of the 2.1 features. no fcs what so ever. once again i would like to give you my humble thanks. you rock! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitedevilo:
isnt a2sd on by default? if not how can I enable it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
There will be a FULL - no wipe rom uploaded soon.

Villain 3.1, including root & I'll attempt to sort out the issue some are having with widgets.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] G8D:
Live wallpaper happening yet?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Jamesoow:
Now after each restart I get less and less widgets .. :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JayCe98:
it's so fast and fluid :-)) thanks a lot for this release !

just one question, why have the internet sharing utilities disappeared? I know I should'nt tell my provider but i sometimes use my phone to connect my laptop...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] H88RRY:
mr nprussel is there a paticular reason why sense ui roms cant share files via bluetooth??? as i know vannilian does and the previous villians cant and i have used a few overs running like vannilian and they share bluetooth but any rom using the sense ui does not and i just think thats odd but i bet there is a simple reason why the two differ
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrPadie:
Hi there Nathan

I'm not sure if I'm alone on this issue, but my phone still doesn't connect to my WiFi router. Any ideas? And can provide a logcat if it will help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 13oots2:
Google Earth is not working it just dumps back to same screen I launched from. Also as mentioned no root, otherwise am in 7th heaven and am loving what has been done is sooo short a time.

Many thanks:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
There definitely is a root issue.

Also noticed that Photos and 3D Gallery takes a Veery long time to load, actually, I haven't gotten them to load yet. They just say Loading SD Card data.

I checked logcat and it appears to be thumbnailing every image on my SD card, did 1.5 do that too? Because I never had this problem on MCR3.1.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Higgsy:
anyone know how to get the news and weather app to display uk news?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] my_space:

thanks guys!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] opusheks:
Change your network to distribute on channels other than 12 or 13.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Higgsy:
choose the share option/choose bluetooth - I've sent to a nokia and back again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chudders22:
Fantastic work.

The ROM is very quick. Quick list of things I have tested:

Camera @ 5 Megapixels - Works.

WiFi - Works.

Sense - Very quick (No widget issue, haven't rebooted at all yet though)

Issues:

Gallery in Landscape.

Camera link from gallery causes FC.

News and Weather widget has issues (UK)

Can't test Bluetooth atm.

Best ROM I have used on my Hero so far.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Jamesoow:
Add wrong location
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drygmasken:
I'll now try to re-flash without wipe, that solved my problems with widgets in pre-release.

I cant find "sync groups" button to configure only "My Contacts" group

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] H88RRY:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Testing a 3.1 mini-update
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Oh yea - forgot to mention I made it look for all 13 channels.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paradoxni:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drygmasken:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nigelpwilson:
I wiped ext,main and dalvik and still have widget issues :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shokka9:
@ nprussell

any hints whats in the mini update? EXcept the obvious Root & widget fixes??

:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drygmasken:
Try re-flash without wipe, solved it for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Helbore:
Is wiping the apps2sd partition a different process than doing the wipe data/factory reset option from the bootloader?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paul9619:
Is there an option to change the style of the lock screen anywhere in this Rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 13oots2:
Just got root working, installed Titanium Backup and ran once with root error, then rebooted. Root seems to be fully enabled after doing this
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Just added anetshare wifi tether and android vanilla contacts to allow people to sort their gmail contacts
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
it must change permissions! o.O
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] murdoch1:
Wifi

Any chance we could get the Wifi Access Point software back on with this build? I need it desperately......or does any one know the name of it so i can download again????. Cheers guys
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheAshMan:
Looks like this ROM is similar to the BeHero which also has root issues.

Here's my tests:

1) Was running my custom 1.5 ROM

2) Installed a customised BeHero

3) Got stuck on boot

4) Formatted Data only

5) Loaded my custom BeHero ROM - had root, but missing widgets and so on

6) Loaded Villain - cleared data and ext partition

7) ROM worked, but no root. All widgets appeared

Based on that I'd say that root works if you keep your ext partition but format data.

If you don't format ext though, you get missing widgets and so on...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Konradwalsh:
Rooting Problems

Market enabler doesnt ask for a permission chane and says all done but doesnt work

titanium doesnt work.. cannot get it to fail or start
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dbdbdb2:
is there a way to sync only "My contacts" from Google Contacts?

in 1.5 stock ROM, I remember that is possible... but I cant remember how
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mkolonko:
thanks for this rom...

so far everything seems to work just fine but the known issues.

can you link contacts to a facebook contact? because i can't...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paul9619:
Yes, you need to wipe the Ext partition on your SD card using your flash recovery software
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
Bluetooth seems to work fine, however if I Disable bluetooth and then Enable it again it won't automatically connect to my headset. Automatic connect works if I have bluetooth enabled and then turn on my headset however.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] baldric:
i have the same.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
The root issue is because I used Benhaam's update script to save me some time. I think the permission he set for SU were wrong.

I have just changed it, and I'll up a fixed rom asap.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
google earth not working, but goggles and gesture search!

btw, tried to add jit, boots to lockscreen, but gets stuck then. can't unlock the screen, no reaction at all...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Seidr:
Om-nom-nom, me-likee-OMNOMROM!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] theshakyone:
The root issue seems to have been solved on another thread using the following....

With titanium backup, click "problems?"

It then reinstalls busybox and root permissions reapear....

Worked for me anway.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] giorgit28:
So what about root?

How can i fix it?

(With chines guy first ROM, root wasd OK on my phone.. )

Also, If i wipe SD/ext will it wipe whole sdcard?

(I do not have pc-sdcard reader... :rolleyes:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Revoked:
adb remount
adb shell

cd system/app
rm HtcLockScreen.apk
rm HtcLockScreen.odex
reboot

This will give you the standard 2.1 lockscreen (Backup first, in case you want to go back)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sperug:
Just installed. Seems everythink working flawlessly! Thank you!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dr3as:
I'll wait to download to the root problem is fixed ;) Looking forward to this rom :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] H88RRY:
i have seen these codes before but how do i use them???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] EbiEre:
At first: The Performance is great, and most seems to work.

My Issues:

- The Contacts doesn't sync with facebook.

- After Reboot there is no Clock at the Homescreen and the HTC Widgets are gone

- The known Root issue

Except that it's amazing!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
3.1 NO WIPE full update will be uploaded later this evening (an hour or so).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dr3as:
Love it :D 1 hour to heaven :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] giorgit28:
What is strange, in "adb shell" I am root...

:rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] theshakyone:
just wiped and tried the titanium backup help fix (Downloads busybox exe's) to double check and it worked on the 3rd attempt

Porting CIME into this rom

CAn anyone tell me how to port HTC_CIME into this rom?

I have tried many time but failed.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
me too, i don't get it either... i am very excited how nathan fixed this, i tried to put su in /system/bin with chmod 04755, but still no cigar...

edit: well, if that ain't a hint ;)

E/su ( 2119): Bad uid/gid 10014/10014 for Superuser Requestor application
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liorry:
PERFECTION!!!

bugs/silly issues:

1. Gallery3D bug still there (who cares? :)

2. Navigation button on navigation app isn't doing anything.

3. Facebook syncs (i think) needs rebooting after first sync.

4. seems there's no root access... tried "Move cache for root users", said all moved to SD but didn't happen and didn't even ask for permission :\

That's what I got so far... other than that - perfect!

I love the fact Hebrew and Israel APNs are supported :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
You have SOME root priviliges... not all ;)

I'm fixing - I'm FIXIIING!!! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
As I mentioned - the SU permissions are set incorrectly in the update script. I have fixed and am about to test
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Higgsy:
ditto on the navigation
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paul9619:
Where has the option gone to only see phone contacts and not sim card contacts at the same time?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paradoxni:
reboot after first setup and its much snappier and clock widget is back! Great
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] EbiEre:
Faster, faster!! ;)

I'm jokin, really great work!!!

Another issue: If you want to add a widget, htc widget and then choose Preferences, the list is empty.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LuffarJoh:
great with no-wipe, I just installed 3.0 :)

Good work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lusephur:
you need to have android debug bridge install on your pc

it's part of the android sdk if i remember correctly

start a command line

and type

etc..

Is this for the GSM or CDMA Hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] opusheks:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] krallebob:
titanium back up dosent work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pananza:
So far these are the issues I've experienced:

Upon a reboot the WiFi settings were lost, I needed to re-enter the WPA key

Upon a reboot several of the HTC widgets were lost and some I had removed from home reappeared. Music, Clock and several others are simply gone now, I can't re-add them either.

Titanium backup, Market Enabler and other root-only apps don't work.

Update: Each reboot removed more and more of the HTC widgets. I only have three left now :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Konradwalsh:
Thanks for the ETA.. I wanted to ask but didnt want to sound ungrateful for all your work today...

I guess Ill head to bed and grab it in the morning
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fabsn182:
No Wipe required when updating from 1.5 to 2.1?

That would be ****ing awesome.

I cannot access the market. Just keeps trying to load...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kar1oko:
All I can say is... Thanks Nathan
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shanz:
first post on this forum and just wanted to say a big thankyou!!!! this rom is great although having the issues that you are about to fix, will be donating in the morning when i can drag myself from bed!! great work and thank you again!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] abu_121:
Love the rom its amazing,

1 bug i did find, when in gallery, portrait works fine, however in landscape the screen is distorted.

Thanks again for your hard work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitedevilo:
dunno if it is this rom or 2.1 problem in general, but Sync groups are missing (e.g. if I want to sync only certain contacts from google) as well I cannot hide sim contacts anymore
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Xian_2:
Log in to gtalk, and market will work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barryallott:
Little thing. If you go into the 3d gallery, view a pic,

and flip the phone horizontal. Prepare for madness!

Great Rom though. But I do think that we really need to start creating newinterfaces using the vanilla build.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
does anyone know if the JIT hack works with this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] garfunk71:
Thanks a lot for your work.

Just wanted to know if Facebook sync worked ? i.e. synchronizing FB photos with my Google contacts
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
gallery works in whichever direction you open it, only thing that doesn't work is the rotation when it is open already.

tried it, booted, couldn't unlock the lockscreen, no reaction to touch or buttons...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Butler12:
FriendStream and other new Widgets

Does anyone know if we will be seeing the friendstream and other new widgets coupled into this fantastic little ROM anytime soon?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
LOL - When you get 3.1, you'll see the most humorously rapid Nexus bootscreen :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
Much as I currently have no idea what this rom holds as this is my first boot..

Nathan, might be an idea to replace the HTC boot with:

Villain

quietly brilliant

Holy crap, that was the fastest first boot I've had.

(sorry for anyone this spoilt the boot screen for)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jpq:
No root access for me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Sorting now..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AlexandrUa:
About JIT

You can unlock it using 'Menu' (not touching screen at all), and you ca see first screen. But if you try move screen -> you get FC.

Also, if you install other home app or using 'home switch' switch to standart android home (not sense) - it work with this Rom without any issues. So, now as I can see, only HTC Sense have problems with JIT and only when you try move screen (you can change scene without FC - and it work)

Excuse my English (not native for me)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tristan202:
I can't access my google account. It FC on me everytime I try to log in.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rootbox00:
i have only two HTC Widgets?

must i format the SD-Card into ext3 or 4, and if yes, the whole card?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RichardFHTC:
Nathan Rom is awsome

Java app seems to crash and loop can't cancel it, but can home screen it out of app

Link contacts to facebook friends search comes back blank

Google Navigator - Navigation and view map icons do nothing on press

The speed of you work is outstanding took me 3 days to get my own rom made from the Kitchen !

Cheers for all you work, hopefully you will move onto the HTC legend real soon

:):):)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pananza:
>A FULL WIPE IS ESSENTIAL BEFORE FLASHING THIS ROM! - EXT PARTITION, DALVIK, EVERYTHING (it will cause widget issues if not)

I did wipe everything, system, data, dalvik, and ext. But I still loose more and widgets everytime I reboot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Helbore:
Given up now. Can't get it to do anything but get stuck at the bootscreen. No idea why it won't work.

Very sad, I was so looking forward to this. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] krallebob:
wheres the flipclock?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RichardFHTC:
Stuck at screen

Work backwards

Check your radio make sure you have latest one, install reboots twice

Wipe data and ext

wipe data factory reset

install cool new rom

be patient on restart
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
Sounds great! You're doing an amazing job. I'll download and test it, but won't use it on a daily basis before the A2SD works - kind of need that function. Other than that; this ROM is perfect :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
First post here, though I've been lurking about. Have to say, this is one great rom and 1.2 seems to be even better.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kkoouu:
Strange, during verification I was forced to create a password ( which I did ) and it went on fine ....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thecastlefordkid:
Exchange isn't working for me. Looks like it's going to work and then fails to create the account. Weird because it verifies the credentials I enter but when selecting to sync mail, contacts or calendar and then choosing to finish set up, that's when the it returns that the account creation failed.

Exchange is a must for me as it's a business phone. If only exchange worked, the ROM would be great.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] civicvx94:
Just flashed...two urking issues..

1. The weather app wont open for me to access the settings, so i'm stuck with celcius on...

2. Haptic feedback wont go away! even after changing the settings and resetting the device its still there...

Any help?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] krstns:
Hey Russel!

Thanks a lot!

Can't wait to lay my hands on this one.

It will be short as I am highly dependant on the Gmail sync [does it work with any other app??] so will probably have to wait for this one to be fixed :(

Is it only GMail ntive app that does not work, or will it fail on every one of them?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kayceejayh:
His name is Nathan ;)

Sorry to disappoint, but my wireless is playing up. I'm going to need to upload this in the morning... in about 7 hours.

Good night for now. Sorry to keep you all hanging on!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] krstns:
Damn!

My bad!

Sorry about that Nathan :)

Will download and flash at work then :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
I was on my way to bed, but I kind of just have to wait for you to finish uploading this. Need to try it today! I'm a ROM-flasher-holic! Oooh:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Flame-R:
go bed man he's not uploading it till the morning.
