Hi - appreciate the hard work you put in.

Listed below are some faults I've encountered:

Some widgets listed twice

No initial syncing with gmail contacts - fixed but took 3 restarts - I didn't need android contacts

Lots of missing widgets incl. Calendar , Bookmarks

Can't see a lot of apps in my download page

Missing HTC mail _ can we get it back pls. Mail widget not working because of this.

Not a great fan of 3d party apps - but I really liked the Nexus Gallery - can we have it as an second gallery.

Nav doesn't seem to want to work - loads but hangs before maps displayed

Even though Navigation didn't work, it kept saying ' lost gps signal ' until i rebooted the phone.

Mixed highlight colours - some blue some green - be nice to have them all blue.

Widget titles for GPS, Wifi, Mobile Network, and Bluetooth still have permanent title highlight which looks bad.

Mobile data network still no working properly - says it's on even if it's off.

Voice search not working
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I have a lot of work to do on this build.

Thanks for the information so far guys. If I were you, I'd revert back to Beta Wave 3 or 2.1 stable until then.

Thanks again for your continued support.

Nathan

EDIT - Just had some joy on a test build. Fixed Google Voice Search, and the com.htc.bgp error.

I'll be working on this tomorrow, as I completely forgot I'd booked Tuesday off work. (WIN!)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ptm:
Many thanks Nathan.

Just a quickie, as i'm a bit of a noob. How can i switch voice to text on in the keyboard?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Voice to text currently is not working, but to do it you have to hold down on a box to input text then it says "input method" or something like that then pick one of the other keyboard options you get, if its not the right one then change it again..

But again its not working at the moment.

_________

On another note

I think I can stick with this build at least for a while as everything I want seems to be working. be great when the bugs are fixed but at the moment I am having a bug free time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hinz:
Same, this is a very good ROM.

nprussell please don't make any drastic changes, this is a great ROM to build from

Villain Beta 3-4 Torrent available

Am hoping to solve peoples problems with various file hosting sites by doing this. I do have a fast server but please respect me by seeding the file for as long as you can, it will help save my bandwidth a little and help others.

Have had to upload the torrent file as a zip due to file type restrictions, just unzip and add to your torrent client:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] garfunk71:
Added it to ma seedbox, just wait i download it and you'll have fast access
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tony28:
Hi

I have instaled the beta 4 and i have a problem with apps2sd, i try to active it via ADB, and i have this :

C:\Users\Tony>adb shell apps2sd on

apps2sd: not found

Do you know why ?

Regards
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 13oots2:
Have just seen you added as second seed, shows my tracker is working. Thanks for your help:D:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 13oots2:
Apps2sd is not included in this version
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stephenophof:
ROM works fine, but Google Maps Navigation is still not working here, unfortunately. It shows the route, "Unnamed road" and after that it closes and goes back to Google Maps itself. :(

Can you fix that? Because it was working fine in Beta 3 :O
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] folgui:
It's not incorporated in this version. As old 2.1 rom (beta4 is based on it), this has no apps2sd at the moment. Sure Nathan should copy and adjust settings of 3.0beta3 (apps2sd working) to this version and then it'll work.

Regards, folgui.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tony28:
Thanks Guys. Is it possible if i want to install, to do it ? And if yes, how ?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nymphe:
Hi, someone can compile to me a specific kernel with theses modifications on .config ?

CONFIG_HTC_HEADSET

This entire line should be replaced with the following:

# CONFIG_HTC_HEADSET is not set

Now repeat this process with the following two entries:

CONFIG_MSM_SERIAL_DEBUGGER

CONFIG_MSM_SERIAL_DEBUGGER_CONSOLE

and replace them with:

# CONFIG_MSM_SERIAL_DEBUGGER is not set

# CONFIG_MSM_SERIAL_DEBUGGER_CONSOLE is not set

I hope you can help me.

Magic got Sense

Dear Nathan,

the HTC Magic got an Sense Update... it runs actually under 1.6 so you can use perhabs some stuff out off this new update to port it on the Hero... ? Just an idea;)

Thanks for your great work, actually i don't see big differences between Villain 2.1 and 3.0 Beta 4 ?!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jeremy89632:
I am wondering when the live wallpapers will be incorporated into this rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] QuantumRand:
Hi everyone. I have been coordinating with nprussell to set up a webserver for all of his builds. For the time being, you can grab the latest version of his Villain ROM, 3.0 Beta 4, here:

hxxp://quantumrand.net/nprussell/villain3-beta4.zip

Because he has not yet seen his new webserver (I figure he's been at work or sleeping), it's very likely that he may move this file in the future, but for now you can grab it there. Torrents are also a very good way to go about downloading it, as my server only supports a 100mbps backbone, so when you all grab it at once, things may slow down considerably.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skysbird:
you forgot a system fonts named DroidSansFallback.ttf
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skysbird:
i cannot see any chinese charactor, instead of that is a rectangular. after i put this font into system/fonts, it's ok

Hi Nathan.

Just to let you know, that you will never run out of work........ LOL

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mustangxu:
1. Doesn't have google map?

2. Google earth doesn't work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Google earth won't work on any rom on the hero at the moment (i think I am correct in saying this) we need to wait for new 3d drivers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J-Zeus:
- Has gone back to having the problem as how it lists contacts when sending txt messages
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
At least now mine lists contacts, before on beta 3 it would not give me any contacts so I used to have to do it the long way.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ratson:
AutoKiller works fine on Villain too, makes things a lot faster even days after last reboot. go check it ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] _stefans_:
I noticed that the danish(any really) localization is now gone for the suggestions in the keyboard.

They were really useful as I tend to use my native language when writing messages, although I'm having the UI in english.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kameha:
Hi,

First use of this ROM, and i must say you did a good job. It's Fast and quite stable

Howether i'm experiencing the 'no contact sync' issue along with the 'stuck to 3G'.

At first boot, right after installing the ROM i've got a 'Google Speech' problem. After next reboot it's gone but i haven't checked if it's working.

i'll continue with the tests..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Usually with this "Stuck to 3G" issue you are actually receiving the speeds of H the icon just shows 3G

So its not necessarily as big of an issue as people think it is.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] asnodj:
Hello,

This is a non french release ???

:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Hmmm. I will try to fix this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ritdaw:
Loving the dedication, time for a sleep soon perhaps?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
lol, about now actually. I just want to get this alternate 1.1 uploaded for those who want calendar and twitter.

EDIT - upload failed. my wireless dropped off. i'll have to do it tomorrow. :(

I'm sure you can keep using 1.1 for another day. I'll try and make it a no-wipe at least!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bt1980:
I agree with Jonnie on that point. It is nice to be able to install and have it very clean.

I definitely like the HTC keyboard better than the standard Android, so I am very happy to see it added in 1.1.

Was curious if anybody else has noticed that in any 2.1 ROM w Sense, the contact images in the People app and widget seem dithered. This is not the case in 1.5 ROMs. Is there possibly an image resizing issue there?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
NO WIPE UPDATES - Any devs willing to share how this is done? I'm just repacking and signing the files right now, and I'm not sure where to start looking to make no wipe updates.

What I mean is... If I'm just adding/changing a few files. Do I simply zip and sign?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sagams:
hi, i found a problem in alarm.

Alarm only bibrate, when i go to select ringtone to up the volume, FClose.

I tried with "shake to wake" app, and FC too when i select ringtone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Flame-R:
IM NOT COMPLAINING ITS GOOD BUT U WANTED FEEDBACK,

the graphics using facebook photos for contacts is blury,

and on the htc people widget its blury awell,
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DanH48:
You still need an update script. For example you wanted to change something in framework it would look something like this:

delete SYSTEM:framework/..... (fill in the rest)

Not sure if you need to do this step or if new ones will overwrite or not, if the old files are still there. Suppose its good house keeping to remove old files.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Justinas:
Please fix download link in first post. Now it is not 1.1.zip but 1.1a.zip
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lunadancer:
sry, nprussell , i can not download this rom from your download link, because im in china, the fuk GFW disable your site, may you upload this rom to other location please? i really really love this rom. thansk you so much~
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Soufiane30:
It sounds good :)

only one thing, the download link is down....can you please fix it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndyCr15:
I think someone said it's this -

http://www.endlessgaming.co.uk/villain1.1a.zip

It starts, I don't know if the whole file is there, as he said he dropped wireless while uploading.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Superbia:
I get Unexpected End of File when trying to open 1.1a so I would guess his wireless died before getting the whole thing up.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] PrinzEisenherz1:
File is corrupt. Update breaks off.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] particleman86:
Is the original 1.1 available in the meantime?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Flame-R:
i got 1.1,

the barcode is force closing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 771127:
perfect rom!

i love this rom!waiting for 1.2,first ,i can't download1.1,please fix the downloadlink!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zygame:
It's greats but the download link is down.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Flame-R:

i think he's goin to fix that 2moro.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
Hmm, I appear to have fixed my messaging problem. My humblest of apologies it would appear it was all my fault.

I used backup for root to save my sms messages, it must have been saving something else as well as I decided to reflash and see if it worked without restoring them and it's fine now.

Can you recommend a program to backup my SMS when I update my phone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nuumuun:
i've had very good experiences with sms backup & restore
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hennymugge:
Flashed back to my old ROM.

Never had a rom (Villain 3, beta 4) that just freezes my phone when I get a sms or call.

Only thing I could do at that point is just pull my battery out. Had the ROM installed for 2 days. Had to remove my battery 7 times!!!!!

No,

Ill let this one pass.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sedinix:
I agree that rom not good to activ using if you don't call sms you can play with new functions from 2.1 but if you need working phone back to modaco or other stable 1.5.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I had a random freeze this morning when I turned my bluetooth on via widget and wifi off via widget in very quick succession.

First time it froze since yesterday afternoon though.

So all in all still happy with this rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gtot:
Mine is still running without any problems or freezes. The best rom i ever had, so it is not a general thing with the freeze problems.

Gtot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I still think the few I have had are due to overclock not turning up after sleeping all the time. I think I just ask the phone to do too much too soon and then it freezes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] luckgod:
Excuse me ,

Have you resolved this problem ?

I need Chinese.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kameha:
Use morelocale2 to get into french
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gtot:
Please everybody..... read the last few pages, before posting. Around 20 persons including me, have reported that the different languages is missing in beta 4. Nathan knows it, and will fix it if he can, but as no new versions have appeared since beta 4, it has not been solved.

When i am refreshing the thread, it is 90 % the same issues people are reporting. This just shows, that many does not care to read a few pages back to see if anybody else are having the same issues.

Just my 2 cent.

Gtot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SpPes:
Mine is still running without any problems or freezes too.

Only one thing that I mentioned in passt.... Stil not possible plaz wma audio files.

Is this a general problem in 2.1 or only in Villian ROM?

Otherwise all works as a charm!!! Good work Nathan.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
Thanks I'll get that tonight and have a play.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
bgp keep fc, music player graphic bug the backward play/pause forward doesn't shown. it just show a rectangular box to press. the audio of louder music got a click click click sound seem like the electrict current intermittent over flow.

AWESOME!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
try do a dalvik wipe.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] richwol:
Much more stable than before.. main problems I'm having:

When recieving a MMS message it just says it's downloading but never completes

When receiving a text message it receives it twice - once using the native text messaging app and once using Handcent sms

Calendar crashes when opening - I think you know about this one but it seems a shame based on the fact it was working on previous versions of the rom.

As always, great work! Look forward to seeing it progress further :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j2kquest:
You have to disable notifications on either Handcent or the native MMS app.

I just use root explorer and delete the native from from system/apps

Handcent is much better
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] richwol:
Ah disabling notifications does the job, thanks. Just thinking, if you don't delete the native one surely the rom'll be slower as both programs will be running in memory?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterRio:
Made a donation, never receiced a link in my mail...

Gmail sync already working? Don't see it being mentioned in the first post anymore.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Gmail is not pushing but you can sync.

No links have been sent out yet, it is a public beta until beta 4.5 (or whatever it shall be called)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
They share the same message storage.

You can test this as I did by deleting a message in Handcent, if you then go to your messages you'll see it's been deleted there as well.

Oops sorry misread the message, won't delete the above as it may allay other people's worries.

Would really like to go back to having the stock HTC phone dialer - new one is really annoying:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I thought that at first but now I am quite liking it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akurei_2000:
How do you get it to select from a list of numbers tho - every time i try to ring the GF it dials home phone, not mobile.....

confused!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Ah not tested this yet, will look into it.

Edit: it is set up to call whatever you set as default/primary number for each person, however if you long press on the contact card (little box) you can then view the full contact detail before you chose to dial the right number.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Cheers for answering that one Lenny.

I'm working on the next release now, and have been all day... with an epic bout of man-flu.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Ah the man-flu got you too? I came down with it after playing my weekly football game last Thursday.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phenome:
Sorry to ask again. Did a quick search on the thread and it seems it hasn't been answered elsewhere:

wave 3 had more keyboard input languages, wave 4 has only english. Is there a way I can add more languages to the HTC IME? Or even the android default input, for that matter...

Again, morelocale2 only changes 'display' language. But not keyboard dictionaries. Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dr3as:
Hope you get better soon ;)

Will the problem of no contact sync with google get fixed in the new release? And is it possible to add more languages?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kevinof:
I, like some others, found that by rebooting the phone a couple of times it sorted itself out. Mine is syncing just fine now.

This build has a couple of bugs but I'm using it all the time now and I like it. Like the new htc dialer, would prefer the 3d album viewer , would like navigation to work but hell I can wait.

its not bad at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BelugaHval:
Is this Eclair? Its called 2.1 so it must be Eclair? Or did i misunderstand something? If its not Eclair then i wont bother with it

I couldn't use the HDSPA data conection with beta4, it appear the 3G symbol but i'm sure here I have HDSPA (I had it with the beta 3) And yes, I configure it correctly.

Proximity sensor and new gallery disappear...

I need data connection so I think i'm going back to beta3... sadly, beta 4 seems to be very stable.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BelugaHval:
My goodness this is slow. I switched from Modaco 3.0 to this one. The phone freezes all the time and scrolling is a PAIN. Yes i did wipe and yes i did turn off haptic feedback. Anyone else experiencing this?:mad:

EDIT: It was only for the first couple of minutes after starting for the first time :) Now its running supersmooth!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SpPes:
Did U update to the newest radio?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Yes it is slow. However, if you've been following this thread, you'll know that I had made a quicker rom... but a lot of the HTC Sense features didn't work. The community wanted all the Sense features working, so that's what I'm working on ;)

I'll release a lite version, which is far quicker when possible.

how to I get the voice input for the keyboard ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterRio:
Hope to see all the known issues finally fixed in the next release, but by the power of repetition:

1. Gmail push

2. Phonecall issues

3. Google Maps nav

4. Contacts issues

5. Stock browser, like it back

6. All minor bugs like widgets, background pics etc
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BelugaHval:
Well, i seriously couldnt read through 163 pages of posts ;) I only discovered this ROM today. But still you did a great work! :D

Looking forward to your faster ROM, the official HTC ROM. And how do i remove the facebook contacts in the contacts list? Its anoying that they are there!

:rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J-Zeus:
Not sure if this is a ROM issue - but I find that when using Nav it often loses GPS signal ( and for a long time ) making it pretty useless as a satnav.

But when it loses signal, if I switch to Maps, it has no issues with the GPS signal.
