Thanks for the tip, but that's what it was set as, still no joy. Don't worry about it though, I've gone back to one of the MCRs, which I'll be sticking with until the 2.xs (with sense) become a little more stable for everyday use.

Mr nprussell, nice ROM but Exchange Calendar Error,Android Photo frame widget problem

Dear Mr nprussell,

Awesome ROM man I have it as my main everyday phone,I would like two things that are really giving me problems:

- Error Syncing Exchange Calendar (Exchange Server 2007 - Mail looks ok until now)

- The Android Photo frame widget only shows one corner of the picture, and there is no htc photo frame widget

Thanks man, Pretty neat Rom, you Sir will have a donation soon!!

Hi !

Did you have a look to this post :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=622666

This tweak seems to have good results, it may be a good thing to include in your ROM.

(btw where can I put a script to have the tweak on phone start, seems that scripts in /system/etc/init.d are not executed on boot)

- I can't have the facebook sync, "The service is currently unavailable"

Here's my problem:

When the phone rings, starting in the silent and then rises in sound. Where is the setting for this?? I also have problems with it goes directly to voicemail.

Does somebody know this problem?

My radio is : Radio 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterRio:
Apologies, was meant as a kind suggestion! One other thing that can be noticed: the phone hangs a lot, resulting in error messages (also a kind suggestion).

So my kind suggestions this far/I would love to see this fixed in coming releases:

- Gmail autosync

- Less hanging of phone/less error messages

- Option to (only) show Gmail contacts (and not 'only contacts with phone number' and/or 'sim contacts' and/or 'facebook contacts')

- overall speed improvement

- MMS can't be sent or received

- Google nav

For all the rest: keep it up, love it!

Somehow I manage to uninstall HTC_IME and HTC_CIME and the FC resolved. But I only left with Android keyboard. I google and only found out HTC_IME for Donut in this forum. Hence, I download it and try and it seems fine (hopefully nt much different compared to Eclipse).

To people who are still requesting for read/write Chinese words. You can copy the DroidSansFallback.ttf to /system/fonts . To write Chinese, I just found out that Google Pinyin IME works for me.

boot up

I absolutely loved the boot up screen and all that stuff before there :)

Could you pleasee make a "update.zip" file so I could flash this into my other phone with rooted stock ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] btdag:
I have tried to make this guide as short and newbie friendly as possible but I admit that I have missed a few things along the way. Hence why I ask users to read through it before attempting. If anyone has any comments or advise on how to improve the guide, or if you don't understand any of it please discuss it in the topic :) . I will be happy to adjust and improve it for future users.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
We're still on for a midday release tomorrow :)

(GMT ofc)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikepheng:
How many hours would that exactly be?

And what time zone do you live in nprussel?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
he already said GMT

you have about 13 hours maximum to wait
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
If someone puts a list of these things together, I'll whip up some update.zip files tomorrow (before evening UK time hopefully)

Obviously, to do this I'll need a reference to a ROM which includes what is wanted.

Any requests, let me know, but I'm only human, so I can't do loads. A few, like the 'htc brilliant' one and the nexus one is probably the main ones...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Morak75:
Hi, great job you are providing us, thanks :)

I have one question,

Does Villain 3.3 support ext 4 (for sd card) ???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
If your new to this rom please read the wiki :)

but to directly answer that question no it does not support ext 4
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Morak75:
Okay thank you. Yes I'm new to customROM too (when I saw official not before end of april...).

I'm going to read the wiki then

ps : done, ok ext 4 not supported :p I thought the wiki would be too long to read ;)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jex77er:
Hi Nathan. AWESOME ROM!

Couple of small things Ive noticed, which you have mave already fixed in 3.4?

1/ On the home screen, press and hold MENU the keyboard pops up, the screen moves upwards but theres nothing to type in to?? (maybe Im missing something ?) - (This only seems to happen after Ive pressed {and held} the phone call key {far top left} and get the voice dial screen up) Bit itermittant, but does happen! :)

2/ In the gmail app, when I get emails from Dabs etc, I click "Show pictures" button and the images do not load, they show as '?' (not sure if you can change this as its a google app?)

I reliase its late in the day for the GMT release, but thought you might like to know about these minor issues.

Hope the feedback helps, jex77er

Thank you

Hello, I am downloading your rom for my Hero. Thank you. Does it require rooting or can be flashed straight from the computer? Any particular radio? I am not a wizard at this. Bluetooth , I suppose is also working along with utube?

Thank you.

Is it done the same way to flash new rom?

Just boot, and flash? (running Villain 3.3 today)

And, is there anyone that have had issues with the latest radio (JU)?

Espesially for norwegian users..

Sorry to disturb this thread, but its kinda related since i want the best radio possible for the 3.4 release of Villain.

BIG thanks to Nathan for his effort:D:D

Lol didn't mean anything by it.

I didn't sleep too well last night lets blame it on that

Bluetooth Connectivity for Calls

I have been having this strange problem of bluetooth connectivity to my car kit for Voice calls in the 2.x based ROMs. I found that the bluetooth address is not listed in the phone information section. Can it be the reson for bluetooth headsets getting connected for only media and not for calls?

1st THX to Paul, this build is very nice, running well and fast, (the battery is another "story", but Im sure there will be soon some fixes... )

Question: I had Modaco3.2 before, and used "Notes app from Dragon ROM" which was included, how can I install it on this ROM?! (I just find some youtube films of functionality), nothin in And.market...

Any idea, hint, source...?!

Thx

Thumbs up for Nathan :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah. The man works hard, so let's all just cut him a bit of slack. He's apparently fixed the sleep issue, and I'm sure I read something about fixing the internet access in apps (but I can't remember for certain). If so, this could be a major step forwards in Eris leak ROMs.

nprussell:

3.4 is done. Uploading when done at the hair dressers, lol. Automatic MMS using a prerelease version of mmszap!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] IcEman911:
First post here.

I just wanted to say congratulations to nprussell for developing such a fine rom based on the Droid Eris 2.1 leak. Since switching from another developer I've been extremely pleased with the work that has been done and hope it can continue!

I also have a bit of a silly question which I was hoping someone could answer. That is, is a full wipe necessary when upgrading from 3.3 to 3.4 or can you just install 3.4 on top?

Many Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Not a silly question in the slightest :) It depends on the ROM, but Nathan will tell us if it is a wipe rom or a non-wipe ROM. Always take a nandroid backup before updating ROM (in case something screws up), as I'm sure you're aware of.

For VillainROM, I've found it is best to do a wipe anyway. Ie. Full wipe of /data and also the ext partition on your sd card (so be sure to use nandroid+ext from recovery when you backup).

Up to you, but there's usually less issues if you wipe first. And sometimes a reflash of the current radio has been reported to help battery life/gps issues, but again only do this if you know how to, and that you NEVER pull battery when it does it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Collection of update.zips for bootscreens

I've made a collection of update.zip files as bootscreens. I've not tried them all yet, but am about to. Here's the links though, in case anyone fancies one.

(I don't claim any credit for these. I just took BeHero and VillainROM releases and extracted the bootscreens and repackaged them as update.zip files). Original ROM name is included in each filename.

BeHero1.3.2QuietlyBrilliant-signed.zip - http://www.mediafire.com/?mnzyzzqimwf

Villain3.0QuietlyBrilliant-signed.zip - http://www.mediafire.com/?ddtmim5tzmt

Villain3.1NexusBoot-signed.zip - http://www.mediafire.com/?mnaq0jomm1t

Villain3.2NexusBootNoAndroid-signed.zip - http://www.mediafire.com/?ddtmim5tzmt

Villain3.3BIOSBoot-signed.zip - http://www.mediafire.com/?mnaq0jomm1t

Let me know if anyone tries them, as they've been requested a few times. If they all work, I'll pop them on the wiki.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xTuX:
@anon2122 I think nathan said he was going to use a new bootscreen which is going to be a surprise, so I am rather waiting for that :D if I don't like it I am going to use one of your links though

to be honest, I liked the stock htc hero bootscreen with the droid waving :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Cool. If there is a new bootscreen, I'll add it to the list. The idea being that we'll have a wiki page with a list of bootscreens, and all of which can be flashed to any 2.1 ROM. (so that if you don't like the bootscreen of a ROM, you can just pop another one in)...

As for the stock bootscreen, has it been released in any 2.1 ROM? If so, I'll make an update.zip for it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MerXury13:
noticed that too, but wasn't shure if i had the GPS off that time...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xTuX:
here is a thread with some bootscreens, I dunno if there is a difference between 1.5 and 2.1 bootscreens, and I didnt find any information about it there.. but he included the gif animations so maybe we can make them 2.1 if they are not

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I would also strongly suggest always wiping if you can (even when they say you don't need to) just makes sure everything is clean and fresh and makes it easier to find errors if there are any as the dev will know exactly what is on your phone
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] IcEman911:
Wiping is fine but the only problem would be having to download all the applications again via the market unless it's backed up somehow.

I take it you would backup your applications? Instead of having to download them all again after each wipe that you do?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lemmingzappa:
I'm using an unbranded Hero in the UK and for some reason a few of my paid apps are not showing in the market ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xTuX:
are you using villainrom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
of course, always back up :)

If you don't want to wipe and Nathan says you don't need to then its fine, but if you have the time I would still always strongly recommend you do wipe.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] IcEman911:
Well, when I was using Modaco it was possible to upgrade from each version to the next version without having to wipe it. So I wasn't sure if this could be applied to Nathan's rom.

I don't deal with ext partitions anymore as I'm happy with having all my applications installed onto the phones memory instead. I remember when I went to Nathan's rom, my partition was deleted and the mini sd was reverted back to the way it was...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] IcEman911:
Do you mind telling me which program that you use for backing up various items? I always like to see what others would recommend.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
I don't see the problem with wiping, means a nice clean phone free of months of ****ty app db build up!

Upgrade w/ wipe process is simple though:

adb remount

adb shell

mkdir /sdcard/app /sdcard/data

cp -aR /data/app/* /sdcard/app

cp -aR /data/data/* /sdcard/data

- full wipe

- flash new image -> stay in recovery

cp -aR /sdcard/app/* /data/app

- reboot (takes a while)

- setup the phone

adb remount

adb shell

cp -ar /sdcard/data/<data_dir(s)> (I only copy the things that actually require setup (com.twofortyfouram.locale.*, dolphinbrowser, com.android.mail, newsrob, toiter, etc etc)

Phone fully wiped, nice and clean and setup within about 15 minutes

The only thing thats takes a little bit of time after that is setting up the home screen again! :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
A lot of people on here recommend Titanium Backup but personally I don't like it, think it is a messy app.

I just updated my radio ready for the new update :) .. having learnt that the EU didnt mean 'Europe'

So i updated from:

63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18 to 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26

I also ran some speed test's before and after.

My first observation is that i have 3 bars of signal now instead of just 1 in my home.

I ran two tests before and two tests after.

Speed results before:

Down

146.6kb/s

130.3kb/s

Up

44.7kb/s

45.0kb/s

After Flashing new radio image:

Down

238.0kb/s

242.9kb/s

Up

45.0kb/s

49.6kb/s

Significant results =)

Looking forward to the new update, Good work Nathan!! =]

I'm very happy with villain 3.2! Except of the message sound when connecting to usb. And tethering via usb like the original rom would be very nice!

You've done your job very well Nathan!!!

Waiting for a ROM with LiveWallpapers :)

Is there anyone else facing that Wapedia is not working with 3.2?... Is it the ROM, the APN or the app?!?

What's the big deal with live wallpaper ? After about 5 secs u have

Seen all that it does big wow and them the battery is soon dead.

Basically pointless
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Precisely. I reckon that even if someone hacked them to work right now, we'd all try it once, then everyone would be asking us for an update.zip to remove it and get back their battery life. Lol ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
exactly my view, they are a nice novelty but are not designed to run on this phone (and never will be) so will only ever cause more problems than its worth to use.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Title changed to 3.4!

EDIT: Downloading now...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cyberden:
I really prefer having images in gmail and webviewers working than having live wallpapers. Live wallpapers are not designed for that phone and it is probably not good for the battery whereas the first two points are basic features that I need working for my daily rom.

I was wondering if someone could provide the Maps + Nav lauuncher from 3.3? 'Brut' maps i think it was. It had the 'Navigate' button under the 'Show on map' when you plot a route.

Edit: Market is working fine for me, I did Wipe and Format.

you can get nav launcher in the market.
