happened the same thing in almost every 2.1 ROM´s but i managed to exchange the mail...

What i did was instead of trying to add my email in "definitions" or in inicial setup,i pressed the email shortcut,asked for email,put the info and was ok...

Worked in one ROM i tryed and failed in other...dont remenber wich one was dough.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vrmp:
I will try it again, but I never had the problem with any of the other builds I tried (ckdroid, villian, vanillian, kagudroid). Then again I normally don't use the htc mail app, but the android one. I have a spare hour atm so reflashing :)

Edit:

Still the same problem. I have tried all different ways to add the account, but it just won't save it.

I can't add the Email.apk file either since it's from an older SDK it seems. (I prefer the android one anyways, since it supports multiple exchange accounts)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MultiMartin:
Unfortunately there are still too many F/C to make it usable as an everyday ROM for my Hero. Managed to flash it no problem but still no Gmail push (one of the features I value most) and lack of calendar means I am going back to Modaco. Sense UI crashed a few times and the whole phone stopped altogether at one point - I needed to remove the battery to reboot it.

It's obvious you have poured a great deal of time into this ROM and it has improved leaps and bounds. I hope it use it again when a few of the bugs have been ironed out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drygmasken:
Experienced exactly the same, and a lot of apps that FC all the time.

The calender I really need too.

It feels a lot faster than 2.1 though. More free mem too.

But for now I think I'll go back to Vanillain.

Hi, Currently using the latest beta, and one problem maybe is that I cannot change the MMS setting within the messaging app, when I go to messaging > menu > settings > connection settings... it's lists what seems to be an inbuilt AP which I cannot change, I have an MMS message waiting to be delivered but its not happening. I've put in my correct MMS settings via the usual way, adding access points etc.. but it doesnt seem to be working. Any work around or am I doing something wrong? Within the messagin app, the Name is in chinese and the MMSC is mms.emome.net etc.. I did not put these in. Thanks. Still look for further possible problems :)

Very Impressed Speed Wise

Hiya. Was a little unsure when reading you had dropped the Stock HTC browser, however having now played I like Dolphin.

The Airplane mode is on when starting the phone, this changes after a few seconds.

Still experiencing issues with Contacts and the Sync to Facebook, I either get two contacts or non (with the photos from Facebook).

Camera crashed when leaving on 5Meg settings.

Can we have the option to Exclude stocks,teeter, apndroid, footprints etc....I know you referred to a kitchen to enable this?

Is APPS2SD activated by default?

Cheers

Initial report

Very fast

I know it's temp, but Gallery sucks - sooo slow.

Mail attachments now work¡

Weather (through clock ) has weird stripped background

Music app FC when going to list view

Google Skymap now works

Trouble sending mms w handsent

Only 60mb space left!

No Apps2SD?

No calendar sync

Would prefer no boot sounds

Not too keen on Dolphin browser...

Keep up the good work

You have to avtivate apps2sd from adb, it's not auto

adb remount

adb shell apps2sd on

adb reboot

Hy!

At first: I like the Villain ROM - fast and stable. But since using Villain ROM 2.1.1 my phone shows to have a headphone put in, so i can´t hear anything during a phone call or when the music-player is on.

I have removed the recovery rom and the villain rom, but there is no change.

When I use the "toggleheadset" app, the problem is fixed, but only for a few minutes. And then, the musicplayer starts itself. Does anyone know something about these two problems? I haven´t found anything about it and really began with using Villain 2.1.1.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genius.lizard2:
dear nathan please read this: in 2.1.1 i use bt audio.when my htc hero go to standby during bt audio, sound is very bad and lagy.i think is for auto cpu value change in standby,correct? please make sure in version 3 solved

How about using the Nexus One Gallery. Its quite fast and has a much better interface. I used it with CKDROID.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gtot:
Hi.

Fantastic speed in this beta.

But as already stated by others, quite a few FC's.

When i updated i followed the instructions regarding wipe and all. When it started with the bootscreen it hang, and i had to take the power, then it came up. When it was setting up Google and Facebook, it said no network contact, despite it showed both 3G and wireless, a reboot helped with that as well.

I am not able to create an Exchange account in this version. When it checks the info, and you must choose if you want both mail, contacts & calender, it says " Not possible to create Exchange account at the moment". I then tried to install the "Email.apk" from Nexus, the one i used before as somebody provided ealier in this thread, but it is not possible to install it at all.

Otherwise it looks so nice and fast, but Exchange is a must.

I will test some more.

I cant get 2.1 to install, ive downloaded it using 3 different browsers, 2 SD cards and a partridge in a pair tree. Everytime i flash it, i get a corruption error :/ can anyone help?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
ok been using this for a while now and it is fast and the memory is abit higher than before.

I am not experiencing a lot of fc though. my phone did freeze once when first opening nav but is working fine after removing the battery.

all my day to day apps seem to be working perfectly fine and the workarounds provided do a good enough job.

still need to test bluetooth and gmail push and music

whether has strange background but still works.

I had some trouble with my contacts at first but I think they are fine now.

can change wallpaper fine.

somethings have no use now though.like why use apn droid when htc provide their own widget for this. and htc bookmarks widget has no use without the browser.

during the night my phone did reboot once but have no idea why though but I am quite sure that I have had this before on other roms in day one as well.

the gallery sucks as well.

as a summary its quite a good rom however some of the workarounds and other tiny problems may lead to me going back to the older version but will use this for at least today first.

that's all I can remember now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J-Zeus:
WELL I DID THIS AND IT RESULTED IN THE FOLLOWING:

Memory went up to 109mb ( where I'd expect ).

But I lost loads of apps including Dolphin and maps:(

No worries thought I - I'd simply go to Market and re-install them. A pain when I have so many.

But when I looked under downloads, it said that Maps was installed - and the option to uninstall it was greyed out. I also tried to uninstall it with application manager but it wasn't listed. This applies to all my installed apps - they are not there but in Market are listed as installed - with no option to uninstall.

I'm no expert in terminal - this is what I did:

Adb shell

#apps2sd on

#reboot

Any ideas?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
I'm quite sure the correct way to enable apps2sd with the commands I used:

Adb remount

Adb shell apps2sd on

adb reboot

You see it's a slight difference from the commands you used?

When it comes to the apps you couldn't uninstall. With the commands I used everything worked. But for the facebook app and dolphin I had to uninstall and re-install from market to get them to work. The facebook app in this rom wasn't the newest. When it comes to Google Maps, it's not the newest version either. And the reason you can't uninstall it is probably that it's in the some systemfolder. This is probably because of the hack to make navigation work outside US. If I'm not correct on this one, please correct me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J-Zeus:
Silly question - but how do you get Maps navigation feature to work - do you need another app?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
Still havent had a response to this, could you please answer? I really like your ROM, this is the only thing bugging me. I dont know whether to re download 2.1 (cos its fixed in the latest build) or if im waiting for 3.0 or if there is some fix i can apply my self?

Many Thanks,

Tested the "illegal" ROM. Damn, this is so fast! It's the fastest 2.1 ROM, almost as fast as Modaco as you say. Please continue working on your ROMs! :D

It boots very fast too!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
You should see the 3.0 ROM we're currently testing, it boots faster and reacts even faster too.

Update from Wave 1 to Wave 2 of 3.0 Beta

The ROM boots faster

The ROM runs even faster

We still have boot sounds :D though currently HTC logo during boot :(

Teeter is still included as are alot of options (though they're not imposing and aren't all at boot up, just at the point you're using the feature so you can make it excactly how you want it).

Sorry I've not tested further I've been visiting friends.

Just finished the install. Heres some initial feedback.

- Installing the rom didnt wipe the previous apps or SMS messages that i had installed on 2.1. Thought that was odd.

- Mail app doesnt work at all. It keeps FCing for me. This means teh people app doesnt work either

- Personally, i preffered the newer base bar on the home screen that was in 2.1, is there anyway to get that back?

- Getting an SMS sent means i get notified of it twice, once by Handcent and once by the stock messages program (I've never used Handcent beforeso this may be normal)

Thanks once again for all your hard wok on this!

EDIT - Ok i reinstalled this after a forcing a wipe. Mail app is working fine now. Also Calender is working perfectly fine syncing with my Exchange server.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I'm glad. :)

I know there's more broken with this one (as it's based on the original HTC 2.1 leak), but I think it'll genuinely be easier to work with than the other one.

I personally don't mind the workarounds, but I know many of you do... so I'll keep on fixing, and fixing.

My personal mission was (for my own reasons), getting Google Nav working. It's something I always use. Now that I have it working in this ROM, I don't need to use Vanillain. :)

I much prefer the look of Sense... especially when it runs as smoothly as this Rom.

If people could start listing any apps which are causing FCs, I'll look into the causes. I haven't actually received a great deal of feedback so far on this latest beta.
