Love your work, just made a donation: 1X607900DS982292V

Unfortunately the data connection was an issue for me with 3.4.

For some reason after a while it just stopped working completely, no email, market or web. Even restarting the phone didn't fix it, so for now I've gone to BeHero, but keeping an eye on this thread for the next version ;)

SU permissions

hi have been using this ROM from 3.1 and i remember the SU permission problem from a bit ago (black screen) and now im on 3.4 (clean wipe) i have had no problem with it but today SU permission will only give me a black screen.

can anyone tell me how i can fix this without wiping and reflashing (adb etc)

edit got it to work, from search on hxxp://androidforums.com i found hxxp://androidforums.com/sprint-htc-hero/37809-superuser-permissions.html

1. USB debugging off

2. Plug in the phone to your computer.

3. Turn USB debugging on

4. Open a command prompt and cd to C:\android-sdk-windows\tools (i have a cmd shortcut that does this for me just change the start in of the properties of the short cut to e.g "C:\Users\NAME\Desktop\HTC HERO\android-sdk-windows\tools\"

5. type adb shell

6. type su

7. On your phone open up setCPU. It'll then prompt you to allow or disallow SU permissions! (or in my case root explorer)

I have a slight problem - using Barcode Scanner app, the camera keeps autofocusing and cllicking. It will not focus at all. The camera app seems to be fine, but not that one? Tried a couple of different types of barcode scanners, and all the same... Any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DMzda:
I tried to reproduce it, but I couldn't. What I did notice was that as soon as you enter the edit mode, without changing anything the date changes to one day ahead. Weird.

The fix has worked brilliantly and if anyone wants to remove the password lock that some exchange servers might require then follow the steps in this link and that password lock will be fixed. I tried it in the Terminal Emulator and it worked for me. ;)

Give it a shot!

hxxp://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5854617&postcount=9

Also, is there any way of fixing the green tinge you see in the camera? And can I somehow flash the original SenseUI back into this ROM? And the biggest question of them all, how do I keep my phone from signing me out of ebuddy and Fring when it goes to sleep.

Hi,

After using a HTC TP Windows before I have a dutch HTC Hero now.

The HTV TP I flashed many to times with different ROM's,i also want to flash my Hero now to VillainROM.

But...is there a simple guide how to do this step by step,it seems that flashing an Androind is different then a Windows Mobile ;)

Thanks for your help,I already downloaded the rom,but still looking for a guide how to flash :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah. Guides are available. Try theunlockr.com since u need to get rooted first... then the stickies on the goldcard method...

I flashed the rom and works awesome.

One question... how can i get the Mail icon on my homescreen?

I want to add some IMAP e-mail accounts,but I can't see the normal e-mail icon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
its called "mail" you put it on the home screen my long holding it from the apps list like you can with any app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dannyllama:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
did you guys with this problem wipe between 3.3 and 3.4?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wezzy-se:
Well I can't answer for everyone...But I had that problem with every 2.1 rom for hero i've tried. It seems like it can not focus up close... When I went back to a Modaco rom a while ago it worked again. And yes I've done a wipe before every installation...

And some praise for this rom (3.4), It's really, really great. This time you've really outdone yourself nprussell...

Would like to thanks you for a great rom - this is my first time rooting, and i have used 3 or 4 that are availble, and i always come back to this one..

Thank you.

2 questions - will you be using the offical hero rom when it come available

also does anyone else have a problem with multiple messages.

I get text from t-mobile or from work that always come though twice, normal sms only once, but ones from a company number it comes twice....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Qwertyip:
Barcode scanner works fine here... though testing it on a half empty can of coke wasnt such a good idea.

I have a small issue with Chomp SMS .. It force closes now and then and i cant determine what the issue is. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.

E.G I can try to open it, i get the white background it tried to load my messages, but it just closes. Annoying if im trying to send a txt.

But if i recieve a txt, i can open it through the notifications and it runs fine.

Also.. sometimes it just runs fine anyways. I dont know whats causing it to close.

Also there is no sound when i recieve a txt, i dont know if this is related to the issue.

Anyone else having trouble with chomp?

Battery problems persist. Fully charged at 7am. Very light usage (~15 mins) between then and now. The battery is at 84%. The battery stats reveal the following :-

Bluetooth 23%

Cell Standby 26%

Phone Idle 25%

GPS Tracker 24%

Display 2%

Obviously switching GPS Tracker off will make a difference, but the power draw with this ROM seems extremely high.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
After 4 hours of light usage today I am still at 100%

Cell standby - 44%

Phone Idle - 41%

Bluetooth - 9%

Wi-fi - 4%

Display - 2%

Your Cell standby time being so low suggests to me either your using it more than your saying, or most likely it is failing to sleep properly for some reason.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MartijnGP:
Same problem. Took it off the charger at 9 am this morgning. It's now (12:21 am) at 76%. While less extreme, power draw is very high.

I noticed it draws power really fast when playing music. It takes 1% every 2 or 3 minutes while just playing in the background. Anyone else noticed this?

Other than that, while the battery drain is very high (I guess due to a faulty setting), this ROM is great. The theme fits really nice and the blue is a nice change from the android green. Also, it's blazing fast. I hardly notice a difference between 3.4 and the Google Nexus One I've been using roughly an hour ago.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fqboy:
Same problem here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] booster55:
For me, power consumption feels almost the same as with the stock-HTC-1.5-version. Only the GPS-bug ever did indeed drain my battery very fast but with GPS off (and a reboot while it's turned of) there are no problems. I took the phone from the charger yesterday around 2pm and played around a LOT until very late in the night (rather: early in the morning). Downloaded a whole bunch of apps, read comics and a bit of an ebook, played with goggles, saw videos, was on the web, ... Didn't turn it into airplane mode over night and still have 50%. I think that would be little different with the stock ROM.

The only really issue with 3.4 for me is still the GPS bug (as mentioned: With Villain 3.3 and older radio - I don't know which one - it worked very well without battery drain)

apps2sd

Hi!

I've read alot on this in this thread but still am unsure if I'm doing it correctly.

I partitioned the sd card using amon ra with ext3, swap and fat32.

Afterwards i did a full wipe (everything that is there to wipe in newest amon ra).

Then I flashed the update.zip.

Now when I install software (doesn't matter if I install .apk files or from market) and look in settings - sd card & phone storage, the internal phone storage seems to go down while the available space on sd card stays the same.

So i figured that apps2sd isn't working.

Did I do anything wrong / is there any way to check if apps2sd is working correctly?

Aside from that I have to say that you did a wonderful job on Villain 3.4 :)

Another thing... the sound seems a little bit too loud. When my alarm goes of (which is a whery silent piano melody) I hear a strong background noise.

Thanks for your help!

Cheers from austria!

Have you applied the fix as per page 1?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] themadczech:
Do you need your Bluetooth on all day? In my experience I sit all day in the office, so BT is only needed for the travel in and back. A profile in "Locale" app takes care of that. If I need to transfer something on ad-hoc basis, I'll switch it on manually.

This applies to most settings, like WIFI, brightness, screen timeout, etc. My battery is now on 73% after 5 hrs since unplugging. Which is about as good as I have ever had.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
In that same time frame I am now on 99% having used some wifi and bluetooth this morning.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiley87:
My update on the battery life from a full charge:

Phone is still on after 26 hours, though in the next hour or so it will turn off. I use my phone a fair bit throughout the day, so I'll list as accurately as I can.

30 minutes of video

1 hour of music

Mucking about with GPS Navigator for roughly 10 minutes

Wifi on for roughly 10 hours with moderate usage (surfing web, using certain apps)

3G on for half of the day

Sync on for roughly 1 hour

Roughly 2 hours of phonecalls

Constant texting throughout 14 hours

Two reboots

Although these stats aren't exactly showing battery statistics as other programs/data will, it gives people the opportunity to see how the ROM fairs to the day to day running of someone.

Playing games for 15minutes or so

Google Voice issue, Google Earth doesn't work

I have google voice set to be used for all Int'l calls. When I make an Int'l call, google voice flashes on the screen but doesn't make the call. The call does complete, but through my carrier, not gv. Anyone else having this problem with 3.4?

Also, Google Earth won't work at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BlueHawk:
Ok. I managed to get power consumption down somehow. I don't use mail exchange and I don't sync to my PC (it's a Linux laptop). I removed the Mail.apk and associated obex. The same with the PCSCII.apk and associated obex. Disabled the auto task killer (although this wouldn't cause a runaway battery depletion of 10% per 30 minutes). I also booted while not plugged into USB or charger.

So far after 12.5 hours, down from 100% to 80% which is much better consumption. The splits are:

Cell standby: 60%

Phone idle: 20%

WiFi: 20%

Previously, this was evenly spread between the three.

This consumption is more in line with the Modaco series so all is good (this would be my standard usage configuration with no GPS and no bluetooth, and WiFi 90% of the day). I'm not sure which change fixed this, although possibly either the unconfigured Mail service or the unused PC Sync process could have become problematic in the undefined states they would have been subject to with my use (no PC sync and no use of Mail exchange). Less likely to be the auto task killer since I had the battery problem with and without it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
As has been said so often now, google earth does and will not work on the hero it just isn't compatible (nothing to do with os version or missing drivers).

If! google decide to release a version of google earth compatible with "older" handsets then we will have it working but until they make that decision there is nothing we can do.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eatmydave:
Did not know that about Google Earth. I thought it was compatible with 2.1 in general. Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
yeah can't quite remember the reason why but its a hardware thing not software.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
It's to do with the processor. It requires instructions in the ARMv7 Chipset Droid and Nexus One) the Hero has an ARMv6 Core. It wont even work on the legend from what I can gather
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erugalatha:
this has probably been covered but on mine 3.4 the icons in the status bar at the top look stretched.

Also some of the text input fields have a blurry blue surround obscuring the input area - looks like the edges are stretched across it the input area.

Is there a way to fix these 2 things?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Deeko1:
Hmm - when I was out and about today I connected to BTOpenZone with no problems. Is there anything I should be aware of on my router when using WiFi with 3.4?

Thanks,
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I may be wrong but I am sure the blue box in text fields was intentionally done as way to make it look "nice" however I feel it has not worked as intended.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erugalatha:
I would have to agree. it looks like something is a little bit broken on mine with the stretched looking icons and strange input fields I thought it was something I had done wrong.

Is there a way to get back the old green with normal icons?

Loving It

Just trying out this ROM and I have to say its great.

The hidden gem I'm most pleased about is the anetshare app for turning it into a wireless access point. Saves splashing £50 on a wireless dongle !!! excellent.

My wi-fi speed seems to be fixed with newest radio rom.

Before with the stock UK Orange ROM it was terrible.

BT Stereo Audio

I have a Cardo and and a Motorolla bluetooth stereo headset.

The phone pairs fine but once I start playing any mp3 headset disconnects and reconnects at random.

I searched the entire forum but couldn find anyone else with this issue ... Modaco 3.1 people report bt stereo playback to be working fine .. I think this is a 2.1 issue as VillainROM 3.3 and 3.4 and BeHero and other 2.1 based roms have this issue.

HELP
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phanes:
Gentleman,

short respond back on battery consumption ... unplugged my device on 14.03. at about 20:00, I have left now 9% and the phone uses 1% per hour.

I used for a few hours OverclockWidget but uninstalled it again, because I think it eats battery. I don´t want to start a discussion of good and bad about the OcW (the idea is indeed good and I like it), but the Kernel of 2.1 ROM´s is static. Means the widget does not change anything, the settings from the Kernel will run if you use the widget or not. (Settings are 580/472 awake and 245/245 when sleep)

It looks like that any app which requests Kernel or system settings forces the battery to drain (see some battery apps). I have the drain under control with the energy management widget and task panel. It also looks like that the Autokiller app isn´t working as proper as it should. (Shut down and free of space does not really work). I have to use the task panel to kill apps.

Unfortunately we have now the situation that we still have to wait for a Kernel source (min. end of April).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Quistnix:
This rom runs great, and thanks to EatMyDave I've overcome my main problem with Sense roms: the keyboard. However, there's one more thing that would make it perfect.

I've made a custom wallpaper for a 3-screen setup that scrolls nicely, and shows a fitting background for the themes of the 3 screens. On Sense there's 7 screens and because of that the background doesn't scroll far enough anymore. I doubt there's a way to reduce Sense to 3 screens, but could it be possible to allow for bigger (say 960*480) wallpapers?

I tried the Wallpaper Plus app from the market, but that one just crashes on Sense.

-configure facebook

-my phone is not rooted ( i think)

Is it completely rebooting (shut down and start)? Or do you see just the HTC logo?

Do you use this ROM (Villain 3.4)??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] baldric:
you need a newer version of copilot. if you have purchased it then you will be able to update through market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MartijnGP:
No, I Bluetooth doesn't need to be on all day. I never said it was. In fact, since I own my Hero, bluetooth has been on maybe 2 times with a total of 10 minutes at max. I don't use it at all.

WiFi is turned on and off by Y5 Power Saver, but it does check on GPS to get it's whereabouts, so I don't think it would make much of a difference. My screen timeout is 30 seconds, but I usually lock the phone myself and my brightness is at auto, although that deosn't seem to work very well on this ROM. I'm really trying to watch the accu, the only features that I left on which could be turned off by some are push mail (I need it for my job) and Twitter checks, but that's just once every 30 minutes.

The problem really seems to be in the music playing. It kills my battery, really. One song equals 1 or 2% of battery drained.

I've read something about an issue with the GPS locator on the radio version I'm using (63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26) so tomorrow I'll give it a go without GPS on, see how that goes :) For the meanwhile, I just charge it around noon, definately don't want to go back to the slowiness of 1.5 or older Villain ROM's.

Noticed this as well when waiting for the train this morning! There were some engineers horribly failing with an information screen and I wanted to take a photo. I selected the Camera program from my homescreen, it vibrated once and the screen went black. Then, after roughly 3 seconds, the HERO boot screen appeared. It's the same screen you get when normally booting the device, but I didn't have to press the power button.

If I manage to reproduce it, I'll give as much details as possible here.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BlueHawk:
Don't allow Advanced Task Killer to kill the HTC Checkin Service app as this will crash HTC Sense and will cause Sense to restart (which looks like a kernel reboot - but it's not). That's most likely going to be your issue. Advanced Task Manager would do that until I excluded HTC Checkin Service and in general any com.htc service from being killed.

HTH.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MartijnGP:
It does sometimes full reboot. When Sense crashes, you get a screen with the HTC logo on there. When the entire phone goes pear-shaped, you get the Hero logo first.
