attachment

Same here! I tend to email myself pkg's and with gmail the "preview" always gives me a parse error, have you guys found a way to download attachments ? i guess another mail app....

But uh... appart from that, this thing is sexy! thank you soo much!

Another thing I noticed, all my facebook contacts are written down as "unnamed" ... some names are appearing but its been like 5 hours and its still not done downloading, a bunch just appear every hour or so (ok maybe i should get rid of some of my 400 contacts lol) Anyone else have this ? find a way to load them?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shark0807:
Looks like everyone else beat me to the reporting of this issue.

Phone freezes on usage, and I find I cannot get rid of voicemail notifications, even when I don't have any voice mail messages.

Occasionally I still get the messaging app to force close, but otherwise 2.1 was stable before I tried 2.1.1, which was the supposed fix. Unfortunately that update proved to freeze on the Nexus One bootscreen, as others have already reported.

I'm going back to stock rom for now, looking forward to update 2.2!

contacts

Why when i saved the contacts in the SIM card. The next day all my contacts are gone?

Feedback

nprussell,

it seems that with update 2.1.1 there are too many issues. 2.1 worked better it seems however, i did not experiment with calls with 2.1.1 because of the other bugs

I did notice that under Manage Applications there are two instances of People, one larger than the other. Is this right?

Thanks again for all the hard work. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marcoyee1989:
Help

I am using V2.1

I just can receive file using bluetooth

but I cant send any file to other phone using bluetooth

how to fix it?

thk~
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alsonlow:
what do you mean by telephone problems? what does this fix?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eeww:
When will the Chinese Keyboard problem can be fix?

want to use this rom with chinese keyboard~:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shark0807:
With 2.1 an issue arose where during a phone conversation the phone would freeze, making you unable to 'end the call', and in one instance, I found that it never even left the home screen, forcing a hard reboot by removing the battery. This happened to me three different times at work yesterday, a surprise annoyance.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pichelheimer:
When I receive an SMS or MMS it is dispalyed under a wrong name and number in the massage-app overview. When opening the new message there is the right name and number attached to it.

Also, input to he phone is beginning to lag after using it for a few hours. With using I mean letting it idle in standy-by.

I noticed this with the version 2.1. Haven´t done the upate to 2.1.1 yet.

Thanks for your big efforts! Appreciate it much!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Carjigo:
hi, when installing the 2.1.1 update does not work the root of the rom 2.1, in the previous update step the same,

Salu2
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MultiMartin:
I'm also getting constant force closes with Google Apps too which make the ROM unusable for me.

Another minor niggle is that when I add my Facebook account all of my FB contacts appear in my phonebook and I can't set the phonebook not to view them.

GMail push still is not working for me either.

A few niggles but when they are ironed out this will be amazing!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I've taken down the link for 2.1.1.

I'll work on an update today. Apologies for the issues caused by 2.1.1.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] langer hans:
Uuhhh, had to take down the mirror... Didnt know that it would produce that much traffic in only 4 days:

Sadly my Hoster says this:

Anyway, thank you for this ROM and hope for me that this won't cost much for me :P

All the trouble with messages not being sent (and not being notified upon that) and then being sent or resent a reboot later, or a day later sometimes caused me to go back to CKdroid. Too bad. I'll check out what's going on later...

Hi Nathan,

just two oher thinks I found in 2.1, wma files not played, barcode scanner can't scan an vcard in QR code (other Hero has scanned w/o problem)

otherwise wery smart and quick ROM, gr8
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gudge:
Just realised, if you tick USB debugging in the phones settings, the SU blank screen/force close problem goes away. You can then select 'allow' or 'always allow' as normal.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] him7x:
Please be quick :(....I have a lot of problems right now with 2.1.1 ...and I don't want to restore stock rom!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] devil666lee:
after updated, still cannot save the contact

after updated the last version, i still cannot save the contact.

what can I do?

pls help!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Always do a android backup before flashing anything that way you can always go back if things don't work out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fabioccoelho:
My Favorites don´t add and edit contacts.

This ROM is fast, great.

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] salahag:
works for me too ... thanks for the great discovery :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] knudsen81:
the only real problem i have is only google sync the rest is ok
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] him7x:
I know...I have a Stock (not rooted) nandroid backup...but I love the 2.1 :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Flame-R:

@ All:

I've had a couple of days off this rom. The reason being, my head was getting a bit foggy with it, and I wasn't getting anywhere. I'm just about to release a Vanilla ROM, but I can assure you that I'll be continuing work with THIS rom today. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
Do the Vanilla ROM have A2SD?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zykozz:
YEAH!! :) give me the vanilla rom, i´ve been waiting för it :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
It's up! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
might have to try it later this week, it looks good. Nice one
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Back to work on this bugger now then.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] breenod:
Hi, I have this rom installed and everything seems to be working except for my network connection. I've checked the apn settings and they're ok. Connect to network is on but no connection whatsoever. I've rebooted a few times too.....

Is there any reason for it? Maybe the radio I'm using?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Which radio are you using?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] guik:
I test this solution: for exchange calendar synchronisation with villain 2.1.1 result total fail synchro with Exchange: error mail & contacts & calendar :(

Text messages

I'm having major troubles with text messages.

Contact A sends a text to me. When I press the Messages icon on the homescreen and enter the Messages overview, the new message from Contact A is listed under Contact B, under an old message conversation I had with Contact B. So when i reply to the text I just recieved, I reply to Contact B instead of Contact A who actually sent the message.

This is very troublesome. Has anyone else experienced this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zorji:
The camera is still buggy. I can't turn of the timestamp, like I unticked it, but there is still timestamp
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
Yep, I've had the same issues with messages being listed as having come in from my girlfriend. I went to check it and it was filed under Orange, but still listed as having come from her. When I hit reply it was trying to reply to Orange and not her, thankfully I noticed as I'd be in serious trouble if I hadn't responded to her.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dolby71:
Yup, happened to me as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Use Handcent SMS, should solve that problem. It's a far superior messaging app anyway :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] breenod:
Sorry to be a pest but am I using the correct radio?

63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
I'm using 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 so might be worth updating.

63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26

Will try and download Handcent from the market tonight and update over the next couple of days. By the way does Handcent completely replace the HTC sms app? Will it also keep my current SMS and does it have some form of a backup system (for when I'm flashing my phone so I can keep all my messages? I currently use rootbackup.)

Thanks again for this brilliant ROM, when funds aren't so tight for me I'll see what I can do about donating.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fabioccoelho:
HTC Photo Widget don´t work for me, anyone have a same problem?

EDIT: I don´t appy the update patch 2.1.1.

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
Which one? Photo Album or Photo Frame?

Photo Album just sits there with a swirling (one would assume loading) animation but photo frame works perfectly for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Just for a knowledge upgrade :)

Is there anyway to revert from espresso to normal (old) sense without having to use an old nandroid back-up? Just thinking if in the future I decide I actually do need 7 screens again?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
If you like, I can make you an update.zip which will do this. It'll have to be tomorrow though!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] knudsen81:
can you make gmail push work here like on you vanilla rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Yes, I can. However, this is based on a different version of the kernel, and a completely different framework. So... it'll take time!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Oh yeah no rush at all, was just thinking

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] knudsen81:
OKiu thanks, take you all the time you need :D

AutoKiller

Hi,

i have just released my minfree manager AutoKiller tool, which helps keeping your free ram automaticaly at the level you want. please check original announcement.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Is there anyway to do this from terminal on the phone itself? I am at work and unable to use ADB at the moment
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eeww:
can the Chinese input can be fix??

and will the rom include Live wallpaper??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fabioccoelho:
Photo Album Widget don´t work!

Can't get Su Permissions to work :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dave_G7:
Me as well...

I use "Titanium Backup" to restore some some apps and theirs settings...

But it holds on by getting the Su Perm.

any one tried? (of course its adwise its comming from the other Rom of nprussell, but may be...)

(sry cant put links... )

thx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mixmaven:
If you install the newest version of mail from the nexus, exchange works fine. I deleted mail.apk from system/app after the first boot, pushed email.apk (attached.)

The rest of the files from my original post are included as well.

I don't know why this rom is using the older version of mail, but if you have any issues with the newest version, please post. This version from the nexus fixes exchange certificate issues. I am still tweaking but may post fixes for contacts and a few other things in the future if I have a chance.

I can't get Google Maps Navigation working. I read it's only working in USA, but there are also tricks to let it work in Europe. How can I do this?

I downloaded the patched version of Google Maps here and I installed it, but I still can't use it. It says the map isn't available or something :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phillipCouto:
I actually got the Su to work. I used this tutorial and it finally started working for me:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Interesting. I really appreciate this mixmaven. The original rom was using this version, but due to some issues I had, it didn't work. I'm very glad to hear it's working in the latest rom. Thanks again; I'll include it in the next version; which I'm hoping to have done in the next couple of days.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genius.lizard2:
thank u nathan for hard work.some problems: -Quiet ring on pickup is unchecked but sometimes when i pickup my htc hero, it will reduce ring volume.in version:2.0.1

is this problem solved in last villain 2.1 version?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] staza:
No, i think this problem exist in the last version.

I have it too
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mixmaven:
If anyone is having GenieWidget issues, for expample the widget FC's when added to your home screen, use this version. I just downloaded directly and installed.

EDIT. It just FC'd after I rebooted once or twice. Not a fix afterall.

QR Scan Below.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mixmaven:
No problem. The only downside I can think of is the sense mail widget doesn't work last time I checked, but I don't use it. Might be a deal breaker for some, but exchange works much better with this version.

Also, I have attached contacts out of the nexus. It takes a minute to load the first time, but pulls up everyone from exchange and facebook? I believe it also syncs photo's but I haven't had a lot of extra time to play with it. Not sure of the difference between contacts and people.... if you decide to try it, post feedback if you have issues.

-mix
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Xian_2:
For me, the attached mail does work, but do this do anything else than a fix for the people who can't get it work ?

Edit :

Except from multiple exchange, does this new apk support that ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mixmaven:
It does appear to allow you to add multiple exchange servers, but I don't have that option to try. I also like the way this version displays mail, it is quicker and I have less sync issues.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wizkid6000:
Props to that man! why not just fully replace the messaging app? Not had any troubles with Hancent, even those with duplicating contacts.

Still loving the new ROM man, but today it went haywire on me, had like a bizzillion force closes and restarts, all going fine now after a restart. Also i keep getting very slow responses from my presses, the keyboard will not look like im typing but then catch up like 2 seconds after. Camera App is still laggy at best, taking a photo is difficult.

TasKiller force closes on me daily, so much so i have stopped using it. Also the phone problem i mentioned earlier has stopped but not totally, Sometimes i get the full ring, other times i get no ring and then sometimes........... i get just alittle bit lol.

Hope this helps, everything else apart from previously stated works!!!!

I had something else to mention but its escaped me, if i remember it ill let you know. Keep up the good work man, still the most stable and fastest Rom!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phillipCouto:
I have noticed then when directly trying to download a file the browser crashes and I have been using adb logstat for when i was developing an application, and there were errors of HTC download manager was missing.

Hopefully this is a quick fix :$

########### UPDATE: COMING SOON (INFO) ##########

So, I haven't been as active as I'd hoped over the past week, and this is due to me having just been promoted; taking on a whole new mountain of work. This has meant early nights, and ultimately, no dev time.

However, that all changes today. No... I haven't lost my job. I do, however, have some time this week, and a few days off next week to work on Villain. I've literally booked time off especially to fix Villain.

So anyway... I'm progressing very nicely with VillainROM 2.2, and I expect to have it released tomorrow/Thursday.

Once 2.2 has been released, I'll be taking any feedback received from that, then releasing VillainROM 3.0 by Saturday 20th. I know that seems a long way away, but I'm giving myself three full days off work to build it; so expect a good one.

Anyway... stay tuned. 2.2 is a day or so away :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mystaka:
Great news!! Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterRio:
Great news!

As soon as you fix

- Gmail push

- Google Maps Nav

- Problem with displayed contacts

- Alle the mentioned crash issues

You can look forward to my donation!

Same problem since path 2.1.1, i can't use Titanium Backup :/

Wifi Tether can't start share etc..

Thanks a lot MixMaven !

I'd clean .apk and replace with us, no error in settings/sync/Corporate account but in Notifications i've got error: "Corporate sync failed"

No data in Corporate Calendar.

Homewer Corporate Calendar & Email from Nexus appear very interesting and more develop.

A long way away? If HTC har released their updates with this speed, Hell would be freezing over or something. Still waiting for the so called 2.1 'official' update to be released sometime in March, or April, or May... or late autumn.

Gratz on the promotion, Handcent works like a dream and if I could hassle you into releasing 3.0 by the 19th Feb (well that's my birthday so would be a most appreciated present ;) ;) )

Thanks, and I'll try... lol ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lordskin:
Works Great

Installed the 2.1 ROM. works fine.

Only 2 problems i have faced. The Expresso rom addon didnot work on my HERO..

Am not able to restore contacts from My Backup Pro on this rom..

Thanx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I had a problem with contacts on my backup pro as well, can't remember what I did to fix it... I think the answer is somewhere in this thread, check it around the time of the 2.0 release.

Sorry I don't have time to look now

Try searching for my backup pro
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
UPDATE: I'll be making 2 roms after all:

Villain 2.2

All Sense features that work will be implemented. All widgets, regardless of their status will remain in tact. Several fixes will be applied prior to release

VillainLITE 2.2

VillainLITE will be MY alternative. What I mean is, it'll be the rom I use as a daily. So, most of the slower widgets will be removed, anything not working will be replaced with working apps, and it'll be extremely light weight. In effect, it'll be Sense on speed.

Stay tuned!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aze2:
you've resolve memory leak?

it's a very big problem... my phone need a reboot all day's...

thx for info ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
The memory leak is this simple:

Remove the HTC Apps and Widgets from the build, and replace with 2.1 Android apps... and the leak is resolved.

So, I just need to figure out which app/widget is causing it ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I take it you will give us a full feature list on the LITE version?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Just in-case anyone cares yesterday I tried to remove the HTC lock screen via Terminal on my Hero.

I tried several times and kept getting a message saying failed (for various reasons), lastly was because the file apparently did not exist.

Anyway yesterday even after resetting my phone I was still on the HTC lock screen.

Today I had to take my battery out to remove the sim card (trying to see if a work colleagues iphone is unlocked... its not) anyway when turning on after this battery pull I no longer have the htc lock screen :)

I am happy, didn't like the new straight one that comes with 2.1 sense.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gu_de_o:
GoogleBits

Hi, was wondering about the GoogleBits. What would happen if I'd push it over an install it? Would it give any improvements to the ROM or would it be the same? Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Googlebits is not needed on this rom as I believe its built into sense (well included automatically somehow anyway)

All it does its give you things like the Market which this rom has already.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
The chances are, you'd have a FC of PROCESS.GAPPS...

Try it and report back if you wish!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gu_de_o:
Ok, thank you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterRio:
Little something else: does anyone know of a way to remove contacts from the SIMcard?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mysteriarque:
Why removing contacts from SIM while you can hide them :)

Contact => menu => display
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterRio:
Try that, and then reboot. Then they're back. That I could live with, but now I'm using Handcent and that app displays my SIM contacts as well. Now I just want them removed :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kevinbeard:
Yes, this is what I got when I tried it. I was hoping to get the new gallery app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tazar:
cannot save new contacts

with this release (and sorry but i haven't tried previous one) i cannot save new contacts: either way i try it, from call history or from create a new contact, i fill in name and tel no, press save, and the phone says saving.... and then contact created, but when i look for the contact, it doesn't exist....

another issue, but i'm not sure it is, is that when i choose what type of contact to create, after choosing google contact, the "name" field" is divided in both name and surname fields, just like the telephone contact type. But i'm coming from android 1.5, so maybe it's something new.

by the way, many congrats for this release!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gu_de_o:
Facebook sync

Hello, the Facebook sync is not working when I'm trying to link my contacts to it.

Log in works, but when I click on the "Link Facebook profile" none of my friends shows up.

I thought it said that this feature should work correctly in this release, or am I wrong? Or maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks
