[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
did you actually do the fix? mine works now for handcent and normal messages. before i couldnt send or receive. Some people could only send and some could only receive. If you havent done the fix do it, it wont cause any harm.

Edit: new recovery care bear version rules lol
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drygmasken:
Still having mms problems, even after making it both "easy way" and the "hard way". Problem occurs both i stock and handcent :(

Maybe I'll just wait & hope that 3.3 fixes this for me.

*Edit, I now can send mms with stock but not handcent. Looks like I can recive with both :P

@Piercy0812

I know this is wrong thread, but... How did you flash the new recovery? ried both adb and better terminal, but just can`t find the file which is in my sdcard root. Is it because I use App2sd? sorry for asking in wrong forum , just really can`t understand this and no answers the right place...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xorxelmen:
hello!!! great work for this rom, and good collaboration for the all people.

I have only one question, it's about of sms.

I use the 3.1 version of this rom, and fix the mms with mmszap.apk (my apn is orange spain).

the question it's about of the coverage of the network, I use the radio 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26. this radios worked good in herosense but now in this rom, not work correctly. one time it's ok, but at the moment the phone said out of network...

what radio are you use in this ROM?? do you have the same problem? plesae help me.

Sorry for my english..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
You need the android SDK. Fire up a command prompt on your PC, navigate to it's tools folder, connect your phone and follow the second option:

adb shell reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
adb shell reboot

IF it's already on your SD card then ignore the adb push command. Oh and make sure you have a copy in your working folder for the second line.

I take no responsibility if you damage your phone. I am merely repeating what is already written by Amon-Ra in the correct thread for this question.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
you could either do the above or if you have a custom recovery already do the other method. i think sdcard may only be supported if you have a rom which allows it. for me i did the custom recovery way and it all worked for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tristan202:
I have made a fix for the very loud sounds on 3.2. I have posted it on the wiki. Right now it is only possible to do it by pushing some files, but I have written to kendong asking him to do an update.zip for it. I cannot do an update.zip untill tomorrow as I am not at home.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
Thank you...

Hope this problem doesn't persist in 3.3.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xorxelmen:
for install the new recovery try this:

first download the BetterTerminal Emulator Pro or similar (install the program)

open the program and writhe:

su (push enter)

now appear #

writhe: flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img

(and push enter)

wait about 2 seconds and appear other time #

Now you can reboot the phone, and test if work correctly, open the recovery boot (push home+power buttons)

this is my experience, all without computer, I download all with the phone...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcoyee1989:
For me...

adb shell reboot bootloader

- ok, i can get in the fastboot menu

fastboot boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img

- can't ( downloading 'boot.img' ... FAILED <remote: not allow> )

so i put the .img in my sdcard first than, boot into Villain 3.2

adb shell mount /sdcard

-can't ( Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o option] [-t type] device directory

so i skip it agian

adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrYiff:
Ive found that the peep twitter app eats quite a bit of memory when its running (and it starts from boot even if you dont use twitter). I have removed it from my phone and found it has freed up some more memory, although this seems to be eaten up over time by other running apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Helbore:
A few bugs I've noticed;

I am having that SU problem, where you only get a black screen when superuser permissions are requested.

Google maps has a tendancy to force close repeatedly when i am not in the app. Possibly due to this, I've also found that latitude isn't updating unless I'm in google maps. Normally it updates my location in the background. Also, GPS reception seems weaker than it used to be. I used to be able to get a GPS fix quckly, even if indoors. Now, even if I'm near a window, I can't seem to get a GPS fix.

I only seem to get GPRS or 3G connections, no HSDPA. I'm not 100% sure if this is just a graphical problem (ie. the "H" isn't being displayed) or if it actually isn't getting full HSDPA speed. However, browsing seems slower than normal.

That's all I can think of right now. Just thought I'd mention them. Still a great ROM by all accounts. Good work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MerXury13:

This is a great ROM, and it's great the useability that's been achieved in such a short time. I've had a great time playing with it for the last few days but I've decided to go back to the official HTC 1.5 ROM for the time being, as there's still too much functionality missing to be able to use it on a daily basis.

I'll follow this with interest though, might come back to it later on when network location etc are fixed...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
And there you all were, thinking you'd not get one of my daily updates today.

It's only a MINOR one, but that's because I just got back from Devon, and I'm knackered. The Network Location was annoying me, so I fixed it.

Changelog:

- FIXED Network Location

- Added HTC Ringtones, Notifications & Alarm Sounds

- Added latest Superuser App, ready for tomorrow's SU fix.

It's an INCREMENTAL, NO WIPE update. Just flash over your current 1.2 install.

Please confirm that network location is working for everyone! Tested on my phone and a friends, now working 100% in weather and maps.

VillainROM 1.2.1 MINOR UPDATE - 4Shared Link

Can you do something for the gmail /google sync bug???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
As I said, I came in from a 6 hour drive at 9pm GMT. It's now almost 11pm GMT, and I've spent every second of my free time attempting to fix the network location once and for all.

I'll have a few hours tomorrow, and LOTS of time over the weekend, so I'll be focusing on the below. This is my target 'to-do' list:

- Fix Market issues (Protected Apps)

- Gmail Sync Issue

- Languages

- Doubling of Widgets

- Fix Superuser

- OpenGL (This is a tough one)

- Google NAV outside of US (Probably not going to figure this one, I can't make sense of it...)

- Weird Contacts Issue with Google, pictures & Sim contacts

- Apps2SD

I know there's more, but I can't think from the top of my head... very very tired!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Danmalone72:
whats in the new version
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] painreliever83:
You work too hard dude :)

Well I've decided to give 1.2.1 a go, mainly as it was the network location issue that was bugging me the most (and also as I don't seem to be able to go back to the stock ROM, HTC's RUU keeps saying it hasn't got a USB connection even though the phone quite happily connects to my PC... weird)

Keep it up bud
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saar73:

so its a no-wipe update like you said @1.2 that coming updates are no-wipes?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
It's definitely working for me!

Hmmm. I know it's a ball ache, but try to flash 1.2, then 1.2.1 again.

Anyone else STILL having this problem?

The two files needed are LibHTCril.so & networklocation.apk

You could try pushing them from CK Droid or any other 2.x rom with working network location if it's still not working.

I really don't know though... it should be fine. Mine picked up the location immediately after flashing.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raajkay:
Hi Nathan,

I am able to connect to my car bluetooth system and make calls but the connection is lost when I receive a call. The connection breaks at the point when I accept a call on the car bluetooth system. This worked ok in the 1.5 ROM. Any idea how this can be fixed?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CyrilleM:
I had the same problem.

I just "killed" the partner ship with phone and BT kit both side and paired the device together.

Since then no pb, the phone connects to the BT kit without action as soon as I enter the car and no problem.

From the beginning (also in original ROM) there is sometime a few second (4-5 s) when I receive a call (no problem when doing a call) to have sound on my car speaker.

Context : HTC Hero + Peugeot Car original BT Kit.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raajkay:
Have done that and created a new paired (bonded as my BT kit states) partnership. However, the problem remains when I receive calls i.e. the partnership is broken. In the 1.5 ROM, I did not have any issues and can even browse through my phone address book.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
you might wanna wait for the actual release of the update with the included changelog...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
If it's OK, I'd like to say where I am with this one... (sounds like Dragon's Den lol :)) Personally, I think the internal taskiller should be either at 'stock default' where it does very little unless you are running literally everything at once, or one notch up from it (I think it's called 'moderate' in autokiller).

That setting, which I've used for a bit, is (in pages)

Foreground 1536
Visible App 3072
Secondary Server 4096
Hidden App 7680
Content Provider 8960
Empty app 10240

Obviously, that can be converted to Megabytes by multiplying by 4 and dividing by 1024 (for anyone who didn't know that).

But even then, I think these settings may be a touch strict. I try to base my personal settings so that I can have a full web browser (all tabs used) in the background and at least open an app or 2 and make a call before anything gets killed (all those simultaneously!).

But that's just my opinion, and I use Taskiller's 1X1 widget 'button' everytime I'm done using my phone... Keeps it nice and clear.

On the battery front today, I took the phone off charge this morning at 0730 hrs, and am looking at it now at 1739hrs (12 hours pretty much from when I started writing this post).

Spare parts indicated 75% battery right now, but I had 89% on the bus at around 1630 before I started surfing the web for a bit ;). So I'm pretty impressed overall. Spare Parts reports 8.0% running time, 6.4% screen on, and 0.1% phone on (don't know what this means. Maybe time in a call or something, as there was one incoming call that rang out and I missed, but I called back from another phone...)?

Anyway, onto partial wakelock etc. Android System has a bar of around 15% (2h 3mins), and the next highest is 2 minutes (calendar) :)

So android system seems a little bit high, but I didn't look too hard...

Config: GPS off, phone not used much, couple of SMS sent and received. Browsing at 1600 as mentioned above, although I took a reading before doing so. Running 3.2 with all the main fixes except VPN, audio volume and the file manager update.zip...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pinn___________:
Bump,,,,issue still persists
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Rui-Cruz:
thanks a lot both. I`ve tried this but will see if formating SD might help .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BlueHawk:
Nice work. I've always used Advanced Task Manager and not the internal task killer. The Modaco ROM with the option seemed a bit aggressive too. What I've found is that WaveSecure gets removed from memory in VillainROM 3.1 which defeats the purpose of having WaveSecure. ;) It also kills off Twidroid occasionally. I may try autokiller at some stage. :)

Villain 3.1

Found some (rather small imo) issues that are open to improvement. Think they have been mentioned before, but just to make sure;

- Phone boots itself sometimes

- When in browser, hit the search button, a keyboard without 'space' pops up

- Phone freezes sometimes after a phonecall. Have to pull battery

- mms not working

Apart from this, it's still a real treat!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
That's the point of donations, they are optional. Meaning that you can download and use the ROM without donating.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
http://twitter.com/benocharm

interesting
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
From my extensive experiments, it is perfectly safe to kill WaveSecure. I do so all the time :) Anything of importance, like control messages such as 'lock, 'unlock', 'backup' etc. are all carried out via SMS commands. Whenever an SMS is received, WaveSecure receives the intent from within Android and opens itself, to read the SMS and see if it is one that the app is interested in (ie. a system control message, or a user's "secure lock 123456" where 123456 is their pin/SMS pin).

So I think you're fine to kill WS. Anyone beg to differ or agree? I'd be interested to know people's views on this...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
I'm pretty sure it's like that, otherwise what happens when the phone runs out of memory and kills WaveSecure? Not very secure, right?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Smallguy17:
Begging for 3.3 to be a non-wipe rom :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah. WS is cleverer than you'd think (I won't go into full details of how it all works on a public forum, but it is pretty well thought out, and they've got most of the bases covered. Recovery is still the one weak-point of the system though, along with root privileges...)

It can easily cope with being killed by the internal or addon taskiller at any time between first thing at boot and later on in the process. Clever use of intents to fire it up is basically the key.

A brilliant piece of software too, and free for everyone till end of the month IIRC... Forever (for that IMEI)!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Geeum:
Hi guys, I installed this yesterday and it works ok so far.

The only problem is with MMS: at first I couldn't receive or send, then I went on the wiki and applied the instructions to get it working. Now it's ok to receive but I don't seem to be able to send (I have the little circle that goes on for ages). Any idea ? I'm using handcent.

Geeum
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah, it seems that Handcent doesn't work yet... Anyone got any ideas where it stores or gets its settings from?

I'd just use the stock one for sending just now tbh.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
For me it's the other way around. Haven't been able to send mms from the stock app, only from handcent. Weird!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Finalising 3.3 this evening!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Now that's strange. Unfortunately, I can't spend any time on this tonight (too much work needing done), but I'd suggest someone takes a look at logcat while sending through Handcent (someone it doesn't work for), and that you try a logcat while sending through stock.

I'm sure some settings might get 'echoed' out there, possibly giving some clues. I wonder if handcent takes its settings from the Settings\Wireless... APN settings for MMS???

Not looked, but don't have time, sorry :(

I'll keep my ear to the ground (well, the thread), but don't expect to hear much from me tonight...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Good work Nathan! I presume it will be pretty similar to 3.2, but with more fixes, or is there anything else more 'exciting'? ;) (I use quotes, as any new release is always sort-of exciting, just some are more exciting than others lol)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MMartins:
