Installed it yesterday.

Awesome to see Google Navigation!!!!!!

But i noticed the following things:

Htc Sense F/C quiet often

Opening application takes ages

When adding multiple accounts only contacts of the first account get synced

Problems with device lock pattern

I was using Villain 2.1 and I performed a Nandroid backup then applied the 3.0 beta 4 .zip. Once rebooted, my device lock (which was configured from my 2.1 install before I updated) would not work what so ever. It seemed that the screen was foregtting that i was pressing it and so i kept getting the pattern wrong time after time...

I had to restore my 2.1 nandroid backup, then disable the locked screen and re-apply 3.0 beta 4 before the device would let me in...

Also, dont know why but applications that require Super User... the SU Request screen is blank and theres no butons to press so i cant enable wireless tether or anything else that needs SU (quite frustrating)

I had to disable haptic feedback to improve performance of the keyboard as its really bad otherwise!

Performance is generally slow too...

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kindastuff:
Music player always FC when I try to go into my entire mp3 list.

Calendar is missing from Widget (You already know this but Im still writing it just in case)

HTC Twitter missing from widget.

I dont know why but Navigation from google is missing (weird that some people seems to have it)

Cannto change Lockscreen wallpaper .. FC when I choose album.

Would be nice to have a nexus boot logo or animation.

BUt other than that way faster than last version. Pretty impressed
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eujene:
Beta 4 is beautiful. But I have two questions.

1. Google Search widget is not completely working. It doesn't search contacts and so on - only web. Is it possible to fix?

2. Not related to beta, but anyway. Is it possible to get a _not transparent_ vanilla android lockscreen? Simple deleting htclockscreen.apk leads to a transparent one, and manually adding a wallpaper doesn't help. Any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] igniztion:
At the danger of repeating the previous posters reports:

- Overheating: Talking on the phone for 20+ mins while USB connected to PC, the battery went into Overheat mode. Battery Information reported 51,7C and led blinked red and green.

- Clock froze during alarm this morning and didn't go off until 07.04, was set to 07.00

- Setting lockscreen wallpaper FCs when choosing Album. Album apk not installed?

- In the HTC Widget select screen there are 2 items listed as "false". Calendar and Twitter?

- Searching for network (Mobile network) fails. Unable to manually select what network operator to use.

- HTC Streaming Media player FCs at startup. At least when using it to play TED talks. Gallery Movie Player works as replacement.

- Device is very sluggish during Sync (when sync icon is in notification bar)

It seems like a good and very fast ROM to me apart from a few bugs here and there.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
You got google navigation to work?

Its strange how some people are reporting faults in opening apps and with sense FC however aside from a few sense FC I have experienced nothing major at all.

Very stupid question

Hi,

I am new to Android. I am a developer, so I'm decent with computers.

Can someone please post a link of how to use Nandroid, and then how to get this ROM up and running on my Hero.

Again, I am sorry for the stupid question.

-Twitch
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
Lockscreen changed perfectly well for me. I went into settings and then personalize and changed it from there (in case there's another way) and it accessed the album's without a problem. Did you possibly have it plugged into a PC at the time as it may have had issues accessing the memory card if you did.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterRio:
Phone froze during alarm this morning, had to pull battery and got late for work...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
For all those with alarm problems you should look into using a third party alarm app.

One such as alarming which integrates with the stock alarm.

I have never had any problems with alarms when using this app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] devil666lee:
How to copy it?

Which apps can do that or software can do that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DVSoftware:
Your wallpaper still says 1.0 in reflection
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterRio:
What's the name of this app?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
The app I use is called "alarming!" and is a paid app (not too expensive though) and I would strongly recommend it. however there is loads of other 3rd party alarm apps available on the market as well.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
hmm, i very much liked the speed of beta 3, was a lot better than 2.1.as far as i was concerned beta 3 is perfect for me except the problem with mms.

Have you found a fix for that issue or do you know what the problem? is there a way i can fix it cos, im extremely happy with beta 3 i just want mms working.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
can you be more specific with this issue? Would like to help you but you don't really say much there?

The widget? Turning the mobile network on?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Hey Nathan I am guessing your back at work today.

How is/was the rom coming along before Wednesday hit?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MerXury13:
Hey Nathan, you may have a look into this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=637741

with enabled jit this ROM is perhaps as fast as Vanillain 1.1! Don't know if its possible for you...

And another idea: there is an official Sense Rom basend on 1.6 for the HTC Magic, perhaps you can use some parts out of this ROM... don't know, but i hope so:)

Thanks for your work!

It's coming along really well. If I was off today I could have finished it this morning. As it happens though, I'm working until 7pm then being dragged shopping. I hope to get something out tonight, but I'll have to see what time allows.

I don't want to replicate all of the problems in Beta 4. I'd like it to be the most stable release yet!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Take your time you deserve to put something out that your happy with given all the time you are spending on it.

Out of interest does anyone know whether self signed client certificates work with either the native google exchange app or the HTC mail app in 2.1? Just wondering if its something we can expect in the future release from HTC. I would install this rom again but I need my phone working all day today!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
The thing is, I'm releasing the so/so roms as beta roms, so I can get a good idea as to what is, and what is not working.

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time to thoroughly test every possible feature.

The MMS problem is baffling. I thought I'd removed all references to it in the framework, yet I still can't get it working.

i am concerned about all the settings and programs i have to do again

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Ooooh, just made some progress on WMA & WMV files. MMS is looking like it might get sorted too :)

@Gugi,

Yes, the next release will be a full-wipe release. That's the nature of BETA releases I'm afraid.

Apps2sd

Hi Nathan is it possible I could get the apps2sd working again by using the Su terminal and installing the apps2sd to your Rom. Tried switching apps2sd on but it gives error of not found. So I'm guessing its not incorporated in this latest beta Rom. Any help would be much appreciated. Your roms are the best 2.1 ive ever used. Keep up the good work.:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stephenophof:
Thanks for this wonderful beautiful-working ROM,

Unfortunately, I have some bad experiences with it:

- Google Maps Navigation still not working :(

- When sent a SMS to someone, the built-in SMS application of Android is showing the wrong name I sent the message to. For example: I send a message to John. After that, I go to the overview window and it says I sent the SMS to Gary. Very strange :P

Google maps navigation works here in holland.....

Sometimes it is a bit laggy, it would just freeze for a moment..... and the new google earth app isn't available in the market when using this rom, and in your other rom (vanillain 1.1) i can get it, but can't start it.

Hi,

i'm a student and i'm working on a project with serial communication.

Ii would like using my phone in my project and i need a specific kernel.

These are the modifications:

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.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Whilst I appreciate your opinion, it's not simply a case of:

Enable Gmail Push = 1

Fix MMS = 1

It's far more complicated than that.

I've been using Linux for 8 years, and have been developing Java apps for 3. The Android platform, whilst it is essentially a Linux system, is new to me. I've been experimenting with it for only a few months.

So, I ask of you, one more time, to be patient. I'm still learning... I do not claim to have all of the answers/fixes.

If you're after a perfectly stable, 100% working rom, use one of the 1.5 roms based on Modaco. I won't lie to you... you'll be happier with them.

If you're looking to try out 2.1 with Sense applied to it, but accept that there will be some bugs that I simply cannot fix until I get a hold of a genuine Hero 2.1 Sense dump, then help me out.

I will fix what I can, when I can.

For those interested, a final 3.0 beta will be released tonight. I'm testing it right now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:

Think I got the conversion rate a bit wrong though so was a bit less than intended, either way the thought was there.

keep up the good work mate, loving this rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Thanks a lot Lenny, I appreciate it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterRio:
You got me wrong here, I am a strong supporter, so you won't get rid of me this easy ;-)

I'm not at all saying you're not pushing hard enough, just to take your time and not to bring out beta's just becaused you promised. Keep it up!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
The point of releasing various betas is so that more people are using the rom and more are finding the bugs in it. With each change Nathan makes he may well break something else in the ROM and that something else may well be something he never uses. Thus he releases what he believes to be a fully working ROM only to find he's bust x, y, or z for those that use them.

The way he is doing it is IMHO the most logical way to develop it.

He's making small-medium changes on a few things

releasing for people to tell him what he's broken/fixed with that release

going back to his list of issues/requests and adding or removing from the list

then working on fixing/adding the next few items

If you want to see why he's doing it this way go and download Free BSD and try getting just your networking working properly. Or installing your sound and the ability to play a video. (I've not played with BSD for a while but it used to be a nightmare to set up if you'd not used it before and it was all typed commands to change things)

If I've got any of the above wrong Nathan please do correct me but as I've seen thus far it's what I've assumed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
ill agree with the most of what you said, i think returning to the old version was a step backwards but i guess nathan will have his reason so all good :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Romdan:
Any chance to include in final release, not in beta, JIT? Thanks 4 your awesome job
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I have added this into a test build, and got it working. However, I am inclined NOT to include it in my roms due to Cyanogen's opinion of it being unstable.

If you haven't heard of Cyanogen, you've been living in a proverbial cave for the past 12 months.

I CAN, however, include this as an optional Update.zip.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
You're absolutely right.

I will say though, I too thought that reverting back to my older build was a bad idea, but the fact remains, I asked the following question:

Option 1: Slower build with all Sense apps/widgets working

Option 2: Quicker build with very few working sense apps/widgets working

Over 90% of people voted option 1...

I aim to please the masses ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] devil666lee:
thanks for your great Job.

after flash it, i cannot read chinese.

can you please make a read chinese version for me?

cause I try many times that, i cannot make it myself.

thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sedinix:
I agree too

and I dont like Handcent SMS try ChompSMS in my opition its beter.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I don't think it is really a step backwards (well for me anyway).

I can't really tell the difference too much between beta 3 and 4 speed wise anyway.

Beta 4 is easily fast enough for everyday use.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I'm hoping the next release will be a step forward. It's been pretty stable for me today on my dev hero.. but I don't use that to receive calls/texts, so haven't tested these features.

Also, Push STILL isn't working 100%

Such a bloody problem.

Does anyone know of any 2.X Sense UI rom that this feature actually 100% works on? If you find one, please let me know.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mouseymousey:
I'm coming to the conclusion that Push is not a problem with your ROM but maybe to do with the network.

Push and Market both work fine for me when connected to wi-fi but not when connected via the T-Mobile network. Sometimes it starts working for an hour or so and then just dies again.

When I get chance I'll flash back to a 1.5 backup I've got to see if it works there where it used to be perfect.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
The fact that it doesn't work for 99.9% of users bring me to the conclusion that your conclusion is incorrect.

The problem isn't your network, it's software related, and it's a known problem.

No need to flash back your ROM, but by all means go ahead.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mouseymousey:
Fair enough, hadn't realised it was so widespread.

Installation aborted!?!?!

Hi everyone,

I am a noob in rooting and flashing rom...really need you guys' help~~~

i faced a problem when I flash the ROM villain3-4.zip

by the way, I am using NEXUS ONE

I did wipe and start to flash ROM from SD card. When it comes to

"copying files..."

it shows an error msg,

E: Can't symlink /system/xbin/syslogd

E: Failure at line 116:

symlink busybox SYSTEM:xbin/syslogd

Installation aborted.

:(

I did accidentally wipe the Dalvik-cache before. Does this matter???

Please help me~~~ THANKS~~~
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
This ROM is for Hero only. Not for N1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:

2. Download a NEXUS ONE rom

3. Attempt to flash Nexus One rom

4. Think back and reflect on past mistakes

AN UPDATE:

Beta 3 & 4 have given me some things to work with, and I have had what was intended to be beta 5 on my phone all day.

It turns out, however, that beta 5 has been a success on my phone, so you're not going to get it. Instead, I'm working on a VillainROM 3.0 FINAL build, which will be going out to donaters in the next 48 hours. I can't guarantee it'll be any sooner than that unfortunately, due to some final tweaks I need to make to it.

I'm not giving you a changelog, I just want you to experience it. It seems more stable and quicker to me; and I've tried to merge the best of both Beta 3 & Beta 4.

I'm really looking forward to its release, but I'm doing it right this time.

Thanks to a forum member (I'm not sure if he wants to be named or not), I will be uploading it to an FTP, which will be password protected. All donaters will be sent a link, along with the file's password.

The donaters will have the opportunity to test it for 2-3 days, in which time I'll work on some final tweaks. Once the final tweaks have been made, I'll release it as 3.0 FINAL.

PLEASE NOTE - By FINAL, I do not mean final. I will be continuing with this rom right up until the day HTC release their 2.1 Hero rom. Once I have this, I'll completely re-build Villain for speed based around the new build.

Thanks again to everyone that's helped me test, and once again, a big thanks to the donaters. I hope to repay you with this 3.0 FINAL pre-release.

As always, anyone making a donation between now and the public release will be sent the link.

DONATERS WILL BE EMAILED IN THE NEXT 48 HOURS (Realistic timescale).

AND FYI to the (very few) haters out there... I've taken my time with this one. I don't call something stable/final unless I feel that it is.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
It just feels more complete.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Sound good Nathan, will keep an eye out for the link.

Although not sure what you meant on "best of beta 3 and 4" as both were so different. Surely a middle ground here was what you were aiming for and could not achieve which is why beta 4 went back to its 2.1 roots?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gmmorris:
Happy happy :)

Edit: decided to pay back :)

2MR05643UR5883015
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Well, let's face it... the ONLY benefits of beta 3 over beta 4 were:

Stable on inbound phone calls

Quicker

Well, Beta 5 (which is a one man test), has NO ISSUE with inbound calls, and is quicker than Beta 4. Oh, and it's based on the Villain 2.1 build.

So... instead of the 'middle-ground' approach, I took the 'IMPROVE THE MOST STABLE RELEASE' approach ;)

Best of both worlds simply meant, Beta 4 with the Beta 3 fixes :)

So, look forward to it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J-Zeus:
Nice one Nathan - :D

Since we're ( well you're to be accurate ) heading to a FINAL 3.0 - I hope you don't mind a little ' wish list '

- Blue highlite colour throughout

- To come with both HTC Albums & Nexus 3D Gallery

- The version of Camera that has the settings at the top of the screen.

- HTC messages - not keen on handscent

- HTC browser

- Definitely HTC phone dialer

- No startup tone

- Working Apps2SD

- All HTC widgets

cheers:):)

will it be included? because it was one of the benefits of beta 3!
