Hi nprussell,

I love your work, writing from m'y hero

Just to let you know i ve spoted a bug that Happen sometimes. When I download an app from the market sometimes the download isn't starting, it waiting for autorisation ... don't know why and after few reboot and time its starting but it can take a day waiting.

Great work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] srochdi:
Yeah it works great thank u, now i got the leaked android 2.1 on my Hero
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gugi_sat:
HI LennyUK

Thank you for your help

Regards
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
No worries
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Andro1d:
For the ActiveSync fix:

adb remount
adb shell sed -i 's/\(ro.product.\(model\|device\)=\).*/\1HTCHero/g' /system/build.prop
adb shell reboot

is more simple than d'ling the build.prop, change it, and reupload.

I added it to the wiki, pls test, and ack that. Hope it worx :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I might have just started the upload, on my work's ridiculous connection. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jeremy89632:
Just checking, if I'm upgrading from my current 1.5 Rom to villian Rom.

What must I do?

I have already did a titanium backup.

Do I have to go to RA to wipe all?

Any fix to install?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
This has happened with every ROM I've had on the phone, sometimes it takes a while, othertimes it doesn't. Best way to kick start it is to drop off Wireless LAN if you're on (or vice versa) and it usually starts pretty much straight away
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
Can't wait, gonna get this flashed tonight and tested over the weekend.

Good work and don't get worrying about that Stickman ejit, we all now how much effort you put in and I think I speak for a lot of people when I say it's about the community and not the individual, the ROMS are developed for eveyone and if someone chips in to make something a little better then that has to be good news all round.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Exactly. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
ridiculously fast I hope :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nscxp2005:
Hi mate,

I have tried the commands you specified, but I get a error message.

Saying "The system cannot find the path specified"

Do you why it is doing this?

All the best

Someone aware of "magic keys" to reboot the Hero ?

It's completely frozen, with the screen on (Handcent pop-up while in my pocket)

I usually raise elephants when a kernel freezes, but here, it's a bit tough...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] piotrreq:
home + call + end call
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] olive22:
Thanks alot, didn't work. call + end call + menu key did.

Wonder what happened to get it frozen that much.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] piotrreq:
Sorry - I've written from memory - it's been a long time since I had to use it :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] olive22:
No woes, first time I had to use it. You put me on the right track.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Redpizzi:
sorry to bother you, but can someone please tell me the name fo the program that was in 3.3 but taken out of 3.4 that locks the phone in a call please....

Funny how this thread has really slowed down to a halt after the release of VillainROM 4Beta with its own thread. It has only been a couple of hours since the release and we're already at page 17 right now.

I am having issues with DroidWall.

Could Nprussel implement this kernel into it as suggested?

http://code.google.com/p/droidwall/issues/detail?id=6

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raym0nd:
Thanks Nathan for this excellent ROM again.

No htc.bgp FC anymore.

Some issue encountered:

Gmail (Show Pictures) doesn't seems to work in this build.

Somehow the when I answer call using Slide Down method, it rejected.

SU Request hang.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jeremy89632:
I have no issues with the answer call slide down method and the SU request.

I have not tried Gmail yet.

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
No. We don't have kernel sources yet, so this can't be implemented for now :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jeremy89632:
Oh, is there any workarounds to block apps when using HSDPA, im having a 10mb data cap PER MONTH :(

Or any workarounds to enable droidwall?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
10MB/month :eek:

I'm on 3GB/month (with no penalty at all for going over!) Not trying to boast, just horrified at that...

Right, all I can really suggest is something like "3G watchdog" to keep an eye on data use, and maybe use a widget like the stock one to turn off data connection when not in use.

Out of interest, how do you manage on 10MB. My phone uses more than 10MB/hour without me even using it (just with my Exchange push email and Google Apps push both running, and weather updates etc.)

There's also an app or 2 on the market to look at:

- Data On Demand (free) published by Johannes Dünser

- [ dodol ] 3G Data Usage (free) published by dodol

- DataConnectStatus notification (free) publised by catsin (written in another language, but it sounds like it could help you)

Hope this helps. Soon as we get kernel sources (or reverse-engineer it like the CDMA guys did), droidwall will be possible.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jeremy89632:
How I manage 10MB?

EASY!

Use Droidwall to BLOCK ALL APPS EXCEPT :

Weather as it takes up only 5kb to 10kb each update.

My Hotmail is set to fetch only once every 2 hours and download max 1KB per message.

Opera Mini as it downsize pages like 90%, commonly used only 1 or 2 times a day for Facebook.

Well, I couldn't seem to afford the 12GB plan which adds around USD$8 per month to my bill, my bill now is already USD$20 per month. With 200 mins and unlimited SMS/MMS (For students)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] VenomGBR:
Okay, I have found an issue, I'm not sure if it's a villain rom thing or just a general bug on the Hero.

Anyways, all my contacts in people were synced from outlook. I then linked everyone to their facebook accounts to get their photos and birthdays etc.

Problem is, it takes the phone number they've put in their facebook profile and replaces it with what I had recorded in the original contact entry. This is extremely annoying as some people haven't entered in their number correctly.

As far as I'm aware I cannot tell the hero to use the number i've entered instead of the facebook number, and the facebook number cannot be edited by me.

Pretty annoying, anyone know any work arounds? Thanks in advance.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jeremy89632:
Anyone has the file for the Zegoe font?

Dont really like the current font.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jenat66:
Hi

My carrier is ludomobil in Norway, and I had the same problem with mms...couldn't seem to get it work, when using MmsZap to Automatically fetch the settings from my active APN.

My solution was to enter the settings required Manually in MmsZap.

And now it works like it should. :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
my phone seems to have some strange activity during sleep, and this could be the problem in battery drain (sometimes I have very heavy battery drain, sometimes not, I haven't understand why).

I copy here the logcat, if someone can help...

last line should be when I unlocked my phone to check...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Something is trying to get your location constantly methinks. Is gps on or off? If on, try turning it off.

Do you use a taskiller. If not, try one and kill stuff to see if it fixes this. I guess some naughty app is trying to update its record of your location, just in-case it needs it, but is running in the background when it shouldn't
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
GPS is off... I have advanced task manager, killed almost everything but still that ...

any idea on what apps could do that? :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yes. It's "com.htc.app.autosetting" that is making the wakelock and using the location stuff, causing rubbish battery life.

Don't know what it is or does though :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] opa0opa:
Could it be a widget?

I had to kill the Calendar Pad widget today as it got my battery from 100% to 85% last night - and I had the phone heavily tweaked for power saving.

o/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
it is strange I can't find that app everywhere, manually or with the search option of root explorer...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmm. I suspected that, as I haven't heard of it before now...

Still unsure as to what it is/does. Anyone know?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
I'll try and delete that but I can't just find it :confused:

now calling does not work, lol! Restoring backup...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cosmic76:
hi, i have set the profile :

the 3.1 villain was OK and the 3.4 is too loud and the sound is terrible

use the fix for villainrom 3.2 volumefix
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gudge:
make sure USB debugging is ticked in settings/applications/developement, that should fix your problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ichirumama:
Hi, this ROM is so good, but how can i hide the SIM's contact, i wanna use only Phone contact, thanks alot ^^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xTuX:
You can not. We have had this so many times, its in the FAQ...

Q - How can I stop my SIM contacts showing up?

A - You can't, this rom is based on a CDMA rom, they don't use sim cards so this option is not in this rom (at least at the moment). The only way to fix this is to delete your SIM contacts, shouldn't be a problem as they should all be on google sync anyway. go to http://www.google.com/contacts from your pc to see them all on there

Anyway, afaik, the legend based villain 4.x ROM that is in work will not have this problem(if you like to call it problem)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
You are indeed correct. Legend dumps, such as 4.0, are not affected by this issue :) although they still show in the dialer when searching by typing a number...

Just put them on Google and delete the sim ones if possible.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ShArKofAbYsS:
No one can help me???? :o :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fejity:
Just flashed my Hero (2.73 build) today.

There were some problems using the original method but what I did was the following:

flashed the amon_ra recovery image using flashrec

booted into recovery mode

performed full whipe

flashed the rom

and it works marvelously now, big thanx to the developers on this forum! especially to the maker of Villainrom: nprussell :D

If ther is any idea, plz anwser me !

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jUsT2eXy:
Hi there. How did the process go? Are you noticing any differences?

I too am using BeHero and it is simply faultless. (Apart from Battery drain..but all leaked 2.1 suffer from this)..

Is there any point in me changing from the BeHero to Villain Rom?

What are the major differences.

Also why are you not using this ROM (xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=649155) as it is newer than this ?

many thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] boruko:
total noob.. hoping i didnt brick the phone.

hey ya'll i'm a very new beginner at this. i managed to root my phone and install fresh 1.1... i was reading through this thread and thought that i would like to try the new mod. i didnt wipe fresh from the phone and just pushed this mod onto my phone and rebooted. it went to the htc screen and stayed there, i left it like that for about an hour and now it won't turn on at all... i'm hoping this doesnt mean it's bricked.. any help would be useful.

thanks

EDIT - ok, so i own a CMDA Hero and i just flashed a GSM ROM onto my phone. might anyone have an idea on how to flash a CMDA radio? any help would be much appreciated.

thank you again =]

it seems that this flurry agend is sending info, that's not good I believe, anyone know about this? It could be some apps that I installed, but how can one know what app?!

Update:

It seems confirmed that Astrid does that... darn I liked that app... any suggestion for a valid alternative?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] btdag:
It is a beta, and slower. I'll change when it is finalized.

Hey all. Is it possible to use this rom for Htc magic 32a? if not, could u recommend me a rom to upgrade my phone to Android 2.1?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tomfreay:
There is nothing fishy about flurry, its just used by developers to help support an app. The most useful of which is it allows the dev to view FC's without the user having to contact them, it doesn't tell the dev anything about you so there is nothing to worry about! I'm starting to use it myself

Hello NPRussel,

I love your ROM, its fantastic, cheers to you for doing HTC's job in getting us an update to what used to be their latest phone that they have seemed to forget about....

i seem to be having major errors with com.htc.bgp

do you know what this could be and/or how to fix it?

your help would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
That crashed on me yesterday on 4.0 beta 2 was really strange, my touch screen stopped responding so I did a battery pull now it is fine again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xrrkrrkx:
i have it almost constantly.... i turn on my screen its there, i look away for a minute, its back... not sure what it is and why its doing it.

i am too infatuated with the 3.4 ROM to flash another, so i will deal with it for now..

i have searched through other threads and found a bit here and there about it, but no solutions, other than turning off the gps, but i use it quite regularly...

hopefully nprussel will come up with a good suggestion.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
If I was you I would flash 4.0 beta 2 (or beta 3 on sunday if its ready) it is working fantastic.
