Hey guys,

since this morning my phone-process always dies. After validating the PIN, I can see the desktop for some seconds and after that the phone process dies, restarts and have to enter my PIN again. Always the same... It seems to happen, when it tries to establish a data connection (3G, Edge, whatever)...

What I've done:

Yesterday evening, I've installed VillianROM 3.3, before that I had VillianROM 3.2 running. I've backed-up all my apps using Titanium Backup, then wiped the phone, installed Villain 3.3, restored my apps backed-up with titanium and it worked well.

This morning I wanted to recover all my old sms that I had in an old backup (this backup was running MoDaCo ROM 3.1). I've backed-up my phone with nandroid 1.4 via the recovery image, wiped the phone, reovered the old MoDaCo-ROM backup with nandroid, booted this, backed-up my SMS, then wiped the phone again, recovered the VillainROM 3.3 backup and since then my phone process always dies after entering the PIN...

Do you know this problem? I've tried to search this thread but it's that big... :S

Do you have a solution?

A clean install of Villain 3.3 works, but after restoring my apps and rebooting the phone i get this problem...

Thanks for your help and greetings

Andy!

@gman.php

I had this phenomenon too. You can´t use backed up stuff from a other ROM with Villain.

It´s the same reverse with MCR, at some point the phones goes nuts (in my case something drained my battery - 25%/hour).

OK - after spare parts config it works ok

Edit

-----

I have an other issue - general memory usage is quite large (20 - 50MB free) and sometimes I have problems unlocking the phone - it looks like the lock screen wasn't able to fully open (it stucks in half) and after some time it fully opens.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] giorgit28:
Can you please explain how did you fixed battery problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
He didn't, the last one is Modaco's Custom ROM, which is based upon 1.5 not 2.1.

If what I've read is right it's down to the leaked 2.1 ROM and the kernel we have not being fully compatible and resulting in a battery drain, though anyone who knows more, please do update me if I'm wrong.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
He didn't fix the battery "problem".

He's comparing an Eris Leak to Modaco, which is based on an official rom.

Completely pointless comparison, that I'm fed up of reading ;)

The KERNEL is the reason we have battery problems with 2.X Roms on the Hero. The issue applies to all 2.X roms, it's just exaggerated on some more than others. I won't go into why.

Battery will still be an issue with the Legend dump, as I'm certain it'll be using the same kernel, again.

The official update isn't far away... if you're desperate for long battery life, keep using Modaco.

If you can put up with the battery drain... welcome to the wonderful world of Villain :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Also, if we look at this logically, we can see that it's not entirely the rom at fault. We know that this kernel has battery problems, and it's used for every 2.X rom.

My battery, for example, has gone from Overnight charge at 100% 8 hours ago. Now, it's sat at 74% having been used for two calls, and lots of twitter/emails etc.

So, with the GPS off, my phone has used less than 4% an hour with moderate use.

Some people are reporting 10% per hour overnight!!!

The differences from user to user are extreme, and possibly relating to other underlying issues.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
I am a little lost as to why we all have to keep repeating ourselves... what is so hard to understand that the battery problem is apparent in every single ROM that isn't based on an official release? :confused:

Anyway, I don't really see it as a problem, sure it's worse than MoDaCo at the moment, but it has so many more features! I am loving Villain 3.3, extremely stable and is now my day - to day ROM. Great work, as always!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sawkes:
Am I the only one with Wireless tether problems?

It was functioning at MrBang ROM.. Just so you know I've had it working :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gman.php:
Ah, ok! Thx!

I've now wiped the phone again, restored my old backup with the MCR and all my SMS. Then I backed-up the SMS with the App "SMS Backup & Restore" from the market (before I used Titanium for this).After this: Wipe, clean Villian 3.3 installation, then restored all my apps I've backed-up with Titanium Backup (except the SMS/MMS/etc) from my Villian 3.2 installation. Then I restored my SMS using the "SMS Backup & Restore" App and now it works!

So the conclusion is that you can't backup your SMS from another ROM using Titanium Backup and restore them on the Villian ROM:)

Thanks again and greetings,

gman!

Am I the only one pissed off about the trackball flashing for every notification? ;) Is it fixable?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Rui-Cruz:
After what I read Benhaam also will need Lox to help him get rid of the watermarking.

Is there any reason the Legend dump will be better than the Eris dump on Hero??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Here's what I'm expecting:

- Working MMS as standard

- Ability to hide or delete sim contacts

- GPS working successfully without the reboot

- Additional 2.1 Legend wallpapers & Widgets, such as Friendstream.

I can't wait to get my hands on it, to see what I can do with it. :)

I am impressed with 2.1 rom...

I did modaco nandroid backup 1 week ago... but, still using your ROM, even with battary drain...

1.5 firmware looks ugly after 2.1...

:rolleyes:

Spacial thank's to you from Tbilisi, Georgia.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
yeah i added this to the wiki earlier, this rom doesnt support ext4 at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BlueHawk:
Just to go back to the battery consumption thing, one more time ... :)

It's a complex thing and there are many factors. The most important thing is going to be the interaction of your radio equipment (on your phone - like WiFi, GSM, etc) with the kernel and the general operation of the radio equipment in a quiescent state, and the kernel control of all the other components on your phone (like the screen). So at best case, with nothing actually running on your Android phone, the best battery life possible is governed by the kernel and the radio ROM. This is your baseline. I should note that we've had no new radio ROM to go with the new kernel.

This optimal battery life will be affected by the Android settings, the Android OS and the applications you are running. I'm running the 35.08.29 Baseband Radio ROM. I have WiFi on. I have GPS off.

First, I've noticed that the screen is retina-burning bright on Android 2.1. I've dialed that down manually. But it only affects battery life when on. In 1.5, the Twitter client used to be blamed for battery life. I have removed it from the ROM in 2.1 and use Twidroid Pro. I have Advanced Task Manager running.

So far, with no other activity I can control on the phone, power has decreased 10% in 4 hours - but I have a Mugen 1550 mAh battery. But still not too bad in terms of consumption. But it will vary depending on what else you have running. News aggregators and other things running in the background will impact things.

There's only so much that can be done. Kernel might be able to be tweaked (but we need sources). Radio ROM might be rewritten for changes in kernel, to be more energy efficient. Applications might be able to be re-written to be more efficient with kernel. But all these are really beyond Nathan to do.

Just be happy that you have a 2.1 system on your Hero! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] abbas:
It appeared as if iam the only one concerned about java here
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] giorgit28:
Let's write to HTC some collective letter and ask them to give us official 2.1 ROM.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
Don't know the ins and outs of this rom cooking, but how come we can have live wallpapers in the Vanillain rom but not in the Villain rom. Or was it just left out for efficiency savings on speed for the Villain rom.

I would like to use Live wallpapers, tried the starfield live from market, it dl's but can't find it once it's installed. Again is this because there is no support with HTC Sense and Live wallpaper, which is why it works on vanillain?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phanes:
@abbas

Do you have the .jad or .jar file?

1. if yes, copy to the root of the SD card.

2. open the JavaBox on the phone

3. press menu

4. choose SD-Card (left, upper corner)

5. list of your .jad/.jar files appears

6. choose file

7. choose place to install

8. installed file will appear in JavaBox

9. open installed file and start ...

Before flashing I would like to know if you can see the images in gmail app in villain 3.3? Are webviewers working in applications? I searched the thread but couldn't find a clear answer... NPrussel said he was working on a fix but does everybody has the problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
No images in gmail for me on 3.3. It's an android issue in general, and all roms with that version of gmail have it apparently. It's listed on the Android bugtracker, and is known and should be being worked on.

Not sure about webviewers though...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Load your xyz.jad files to your sd-card.

Open Java-Box-> menue->sd-card and installation starts.

try the attached file (althogh not so helpful in nigeria; swiss train timetable) as an example

I just don´t understand this kind of questions. Why don´t you try it. You are already experienced in flashing, so it´s no big deal for you. No hard feelings, just don´t understand it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fcknghll:
This rom is based on the new sense ui based on the Droid Eris leak. It's also android 2.1 as oppose to the stock 1.5 ;)

well tbh... i dont really wanna go flashing my phone over and over again trying to find the best rom, so it was just a simple question regarding the major features of this rom....

Android NDK, Revision 3 (March 2010)

General notes:

Adds OpenGL ES 2.0 native library support.

Adds a sample application,hello-gl2, that illustrates the use of OpenGL ES 2.0 vertex and fragment shaders.

Dont know if it helps you, but doesn't this mean you can solve the OpenGL issue ? :D

GPS after restoring backup.

I guess Eris is messing the GPS up! I restored backup of MCR 3.2b5 because it used to have no problems with GPS. But I was geocaching today, and GPS does not worked in MCR either (It was first time after restoring backup). So I reflashed radio in terrain, and GPS was working again.
