1. Have you used a previous version of Villain 3.0 (Betas, etc)

2. Did you experience any issues with the HTC widgets?

Answers fine as below:

1. Long ago, 2.0, then move to MCR.

2. Widgets appearing/disappearing with each flash

[UPDATE]

I WIPED my phone, and w/o flashing 3.1, just reboot, skip the account settings, now I get HTC Clock/Weather widget !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I'll included Teeter in 3.2 tonight ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitedevilo:
As of wiping Davlik cache:

I 3x times did wipe all data (factory reset), Davlik Cache and Ext. And 3x times ended up with widget issue

1. No (if you mean 3.0 Final which appeared last night then yes)

2. No ( if above Yes)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Does it tell you to do it via adb?

If so, I believe you're using the older amon ra recovery
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kolaf:
Reply to nprussel

1.no

2.no
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hinz:
1. Yes

2. No (As always with beta/leaks I completely format my SD card, no partitions and only add essential files like backups of sms etc and mp3 files, AFTER the flash) - I have had no problems whatsoever with widgets
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
1. No (was on Modaco before)

2. Yes (mail program had to be deleted and re-added as it said the program was no longer installed, did a full wipe of everything before install)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skedone:
HE IS MY REPORT MATE

all widgets working facebook working infact everything is working so far. oh sorry i am missing one widget the news and weather one, but i have the apk so i will just install that in a min and hope that the version i have knows im in the uk.

also will installing the modded gmaps 4 work okay on this rom.

also the navigation app dont seem to work or does it need to be connected to a headset first as if i select anything but people or search it dont respond

1: yes

2: no but like other cleaned card first only replaced mp3s and downloads folder
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrYiff:
Seems very nice so far, just 2 problems ive hit, first is that while the htc mail widget is there, the actual program isnt so theres no exchange support.

2nd problem is with the clock widget, when you pick the time+weather widget you can only use current location or Gdask, even if you add other locations and select them you end up with gdansk. Think this might be because the htc weather program isnt installed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dj_denims:
from what i can see its really fast i like it ....a lot

i geuss the only thing it needs is the htc keybord as i feel thats a bit nicer than the stock andriod one but from what i can see i really like it and ive come from modaco 3.1 rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
This is a very nice rom, fast and everything.

One thing though, could you implement opengl into this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] culturelol:
So technically you might be able to install the exchange.apk?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrYiff:
If that is the whole htc mail program then yeah, i guess that should work, if its just the exchange side of the htc mail program then probably not as currently the only part there is the widget.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
Nice

Looks great, the second I can have this with HTC keyboard AND exchange support, I'll be flashing it. Until then I'll just admire it as the one that got away.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] greekfossil:
can you make it multilingual?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrYiff:
Grab the morelocale2 program and you can make it multilingual yourself :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Vip3ra:
The rom seems to have the market bug, no twidroid and no barcode scanner in the market as far as I can see
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fabioccoelho:
This ROM have a HTC Peeper, Dice and Battery?

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
HTC Keyboard & Exchange will be tested, and hopefully released tomorrow.

I'll also look into the missing weather app!

Bed now though, I've done nothing but mess around with roms for two days solid....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bram77:
I'm installing it, but what exactly is the auto setup I should not do? The wizzard on first boot? That's where the installation is at now, but I didn't get the "Select 'Always Use', then HTC Sense" option... Not sure what to do now..:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Thank you! :)

Please feel free to let me know if there's anything you'd like changing/adding... I'll be working on this until I have the official HTC rom to play with!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] him7x:
With morelocale2 from market, I get ALL in translated? (HTC Sense,etc included?)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Don't worry - if you didn't get the HTC Sense option, and it's using Sense, it'd fine.

As for the wizard - it will more than likely work, but there was a huge delay in synching google contacts the first time I tried it (using wizard).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bt1980:
NetLoc works!

update: NetLoc is NOT a solution -- see my later post on Page 5

I used NetLoc-signed.zip from CK-Droid thread, and it works. Picked up my location and weather right away.

I know this fix is integrated in KaguDroid 1.1 (based off AOSP 2.1-r2)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] scottygar:
As far as I can see the Nav isn't working here (UK) will keep testing to see what I get! Other than that, ROM seems very stable and looks pretty good!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrYiff:
Just been doing some more testing and I can get the clock widget to show the location I want however it is a bit odd as you need to add a few extra locations (it doesnt matter which ones).

For example in my location list is:

- Current City

- Gdansk

- Portsmouth

- London

- Manchester

To get portsmouth to show up in the clock you need to select Manchester from the list, if you select Portsmouth or London you still get Gdansk.

I think this is down to Gdansk actually being in the list 3 times, just you dont see it as if you open the clock app and go to the 2nd tab (world clock), you can actually see Gdansk in the list 3 times.

To fix this and get the weather location list working you need to press the menu key while in the world clock page and then delete the duplicated locations.

Hopefully this can be easily fixed in the ROM itself :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phil_UK:
Anyone got Apps2Sd working yet?

Also does Google Nav need manual install (a la CKDroid) or should it be there already...was not there when I flashed.

Thanks

Phil
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fabioccoelho:
I´m flashing now! When done, i´ll post here some results.

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iRobert:
does this have the 3d drivers enabled?

bb.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
Don't think so. Haven't seen it in any of the changelogs
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Not sorted the 3d drivers yet... All the drivers i have tried so far are causing a boot loop. ill keep working on it though as its an imortant one as far as i am concerned!

still travelling to devon
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] steveoy:
When is 1.2 going to be released? Looks like 1.2 will be a keeper for me, cuz all I need left is the calendar widget and music widget to work properly. Hopefully there's no other crash surprises though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kyrillos:
guys.. can someone tell me about his sync process?

I managed to sync at the first time the contacts (replaced the ones from PC), however the sync terminated I think due to sync of calendar.

After that it connects, however I cant sync at all... it says failed...

Hope the sync issue will be solved since I think it is quite crucial part (at least for someone who uses the phone for business)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrYiff:
Theres just been an update on twitter saying it is still due today, I would imagine just as soon as he can find a wifi spot to upload the file
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] andready:
Thanks for this ROM, it's great.

I have a problem with exchange, I can't make the account.

I get a "failed to create the account. Please try again later".

Any help on this???

A:)

Ps. I use SSL.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shinobi_1983:
Thanx

This rom is really nice!!!

Thanx!!!

Someone got the FLAN Gallery working? Does it depend on 3D?

By the way... google NAV works for me in germany on this 2.1 rom: hxxp://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1448
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Uniqron:
As soon as the v1.2 is on here I'll go and flash it. I was going to go with the current 1.1 but hey, if music / calander functions are fixed, I'll surely wait for it.

If this turns out to be what HTC should have delivered last month, I'll surely trow in a few € (or $).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jugulator:
Copilot

Has anyone got Copilot working on this ROM.. I mean Copilot 328.. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mauro269:
Hi, I've some questions before to flash this rom..that seems to be the best 2.0 for HTC Hero until now...

1. Is it possible to disable the HTC Keybord to use the Android Keyboard?

2. Does the alarm work?

3. The phonebook is that of Android 2.0 or that of HTC as in HTC Sense with 1.5 cupcake?

Waiting your reply.

Thanks!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] slyydrr:
I am having the same problem regarding #1. Any word on this?

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
The dev is currently in the process of uploading v2.0 of this rom, wait to see the new change log
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kayceejayh:
1. Not sure

2. Yes - it woke me up this morning! :)

3 - I think it's Sense's 2.1 one - has all the facebook itegration but is different to the 1.5 one
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mauro269:
Thanks for your replies guys!So, I'll wait the new release of this ROM and I'll flash it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] samwood09:
is this rooted?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluetigger68:
Please do us all a favour! First: use search, second: read the postings/ thread, third: write.

There are board-rules we all accepted. The whole thread is full of postings regarding exchange, not working atm.

I read all 40 pages of this thread before posting, i suggest this method to everybody. Makes it easier for anybody to follow.

To Nathan: tremendous work, best Sense-ROM on 2.x.

Thanks and waiting for next release.

You ROM is stable ... but one thing: It cannot display Chinese...:(:(:(:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
########## VillainROM 1.2 ##########

THIS IS A FULL WIPE INSTALL! – Sorry, but this is necessary.

!!!!!!! PLEASE READ THE BELOW THOROUGHLY !!!!!!!!

I’d just like to say first of all, thanks for the support, and to those of you who have made donations, it’s really appreciated. I’m still a long way off buying a dev hero, but I guess if this ROM turns out how I’d like it to be, I’ll get a LOT closer to my 'Buy a HTC Hero for Dev' fund! :)

Anyway, to the update:

This update is DESIGNED TO ADD STABILITY & SPEED, not to fix all of the problems with Gmail, Market, OpenGL – they are now my number one priority, and when fixes are implemented, you’ll get small, incremental NO-WIPE updates.

Installing this ROM is essential if you want to take advantage of all future patches

CHANGELOG:

- Several Sense UI based bugs fixed

- Fixed a lot of FCs.

- Removed several of the third party apps people wanted removed.

- Added HTC Music Player & Widget

- Added HTC Twitter & Widget (Working!)

- Added HTC Calendar & Widget (Working!)

- Swapped Android Facebook Sync for HTC Facebook Sync (Apparently MORE stable, but you’ll need to test this. Any issues, and I’ll revert to Android Facebook sync)

- Added Stock Android Dialler & Contacts (Several people PMd me to request - you have the option of either now)

- Youtube working correctly now.

- ATTEMPTED to fix Exchange, but I don’t use it in any way. PLEASE TEST.

Still to fix (TARGET – SUNDAY 31st JAN – No promises on some of these, obviously!):

- Protected Apps in Market

- Apps2SD (Sorry folks, this is a few days away)

- Doubling of some HTC Widgets. One of which doesn't work.

- Google Mail auto sync

- Google Maps NAV outside of UK - This is a weird one. It works on Vanilla, but as soon as I add sense, it no longer works. Apparently, NONE of the 2.X sense-based roms got this working. This may not get fixed until we have the official ROM to work with.

Things I'd like you to test:

1. Exchange Sync

2. Network Location - Works for me intermittently.

3. Facebook sync

4. Albums (People reported problems with this before… It should be fixed)

VillainROM 1.2 on 4Shared
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tsyvanpe:
1. No (only 2.x series)

2. Yes (at first boot most HTC widgets were missing, after a few reboots they reappeared)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
I've said it once and I'm sure I'll say it again........

STAR!!!!!

P.S. I escaped from my day working with the deputy head teacher for a whole 5 mins :D

Set this machine off DL 3.1 ;)

I had serious issues with FC straight after my first flash. However I went back and did a Factory reset and formatted everything. That worked perfectly (going from pre to release).

No issues at all thus far other than the teeter one. All wigets and everything working like a dream

As I'm sure you know I've used every version thus far :D :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] remeez:

Fresh install from a wipe. Facebook doesn't sync contacts even though it is linked.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] meatmaker:
Dont know if this is relevant: I had an old Recovery Image (the one without SD-Partition functionality and without Dalvik wipe).

Before I fully wiped and flashed fresh 3.1, i updated my recovery image to recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img. Since then the Widget-Issue was gone.

I didnt touch my SD-Card!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riddick541:

But I have a big problem, I have no network connection, neither 3G nor WIFI !

Please help me, I really want to keep this ROM on my hero !!!

Thx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arenaling:
hey nathan,

my answer is :

1. no

2. no

so far no issue except for fb sync like others have mention it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Rui-Cruz:
OOhhaa . That took some reading to catch up. Leave the thread alone for an hour and you really have a job to do reading on all. This is a great rom . stable , fast , just looking forwarding to the Villainiation ! thanks Nathan .

Now to your questions 1. Yes i have used all your villain releases , and also jumped back and forward from this and some of the 1.5 roms, -2. No I have never on any roms experienced any widget problem whatsoever.

I have a partition on my SD and use App2sd, bur always do a full wipe, and i wipe every option 2 times before flashing . I have the original 2GB sdcard that followed my phone. seems a lot of peole on different rom have problem of some sort if they use the 16 GB card, and that it helps changing card, burt saw somebody on this rom tried that without sucsess.

My one and only big problems with all my roms lately is regardign the mobile network connection. my network provider (onecall using networknorway lines) is building out their network and hase some 2G , some 3G lines., , when 3G line is not in the area the phone is supposed to automatically start roaming from a partner ( telenor) so 3G should be almost everywhere. But this never happenes ., Both on latest 1.5 roms and thisone the only connection I can get is Edge which is 2G. I`ve checked APN`s , checked all choises allowing roaming etc. Anybody has this problem ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bajo76:
1. yes

2. no
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
My facebook didnt synch automatically but if you go into Settings>Accounts & Synch>Facebook and tick the Sync Contacts box it works.

Thanks for replacing the Bootscreen, much better in 3.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
Yes, it did.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
This makes you a rather wise man.

I do the same and have no widget issues.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tsyvanpe:
Which facebook sync are you guys using? I see two when adding an new sync (facebook and facebook for htc sense)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Agreed. It's actually the same bootscreen used in Villain 1.0 etc.

Amazing how much quicker it runs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
How do you not let SIM contact appear ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
Thanks, I'm so dumb.

How do you see the new album stuff, is it supposed to be 3d or something? when I go to album, it is the same as the previous album on 1.5.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DanPratt:
Yes I did... about 2am this morning!!! :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
Heh, thats why I installed SilentTime Lite....

What problem? I take it you're talking about the widget issue.

I think we'll all need to start quoting posts again. This thread is getting really fast again (not as bad as last night waiting on the torrent though :))

Wow finally caught up on this thread, almost finished downloading 3.1 never got a chance to flash 3.0.

I have saved the essentials from my SD card and then formatted it, going to do a full wipe and flash 3.1 will keep you updated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Thanks, booon. Nice mirror. Hope your server will be up to all the downloads you'll inevitably get...

Suppose it won't be as bad as yesterday now :) I was on the torrent right at the start, and one guy had seeded 2GB in less than 5 or 10 mins on a 100Mbps upstream connection.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
Not sure i've you've found the source of the problem but:

1. No

2. No

I Formatted SD card and wiped Data and Davlik, created an ext partition then flashed the ROM. And it is quicked than a greased wippet! Awesome ROM man
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitedevilo:
as for 3G issue some people are expieriencing, you need to define your providers APN, because APN list is empty after flashing this rom

to do it go in Settings->Wireless&Networks->Mobile Networks-> Acess Point Names -> Press Menu and Add

If you do not know what to Add then contact your provider and ask for instructions

After adding for 3G to work restart is required
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Not heard of this one before now :( Did you do a wipe of everything before install?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iEternalHero:
1.No (yes, if you count the one you uploaded last night, based on the leak)

2.No, but i'm upgrading to 3.1 right now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] booon:
Thats pretty impressive! - I will let you know if my my host gets cross with me.. im not supposed to have any limits.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
Are we supposed to have the new nexus album on this or something?

If so, how do you get to it? I just get the old album.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah, I doubt you'll get too much traffic now. The most amazing thing about those stats was that they were for real- not claimed in the forum or something like that. Several people actually commented, although I reckon by my calculations he could have actually uploaded 7.5GB in 10 minutes at full pelt, so maybe there weren't so many of us downloading it after all ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ITMASTER:
I used 3.0 beta 4 and now downloading for upaitng to this one hope this will work much faster )) thanks

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
Hello, first post here,

many thanks for this rom, it works really fast, no problem with widgets, but had other issues:

facebook sync with contats not working (useful for contact pic)

java app not working (fc on start)

sim contact showing, don't know how to hide them

my note apps erased all notes (on sd, I should have a backup on pc)

still testing, will add update if necessary

Root work fine with 3.1

I had standard 1.5 (manually rooted), full wipe, went on 3.0 and then 3.1 without wipe.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mauro269:
1. No

2. No

Minor Bug to fix:

#When I try to add a widget, the right button to scroll the widgets works, the left button doesn't work

Suggest for Facebook Sync:

#Go to Settings > Account & Sincronyzation > Remove the Facebook Account ......after this create again the account for "Facebook for HTC Sense". This will work.

Suggest for HTC widgets that gone:

#I think that the problem is that people don't wipe ALL...I wiped EXT, Cache, Dalvik and the other voices under the WIPE FIELD. So make this and flash the rom. This will work.

Hope this can help.
