Nathan, are You planning to fix the flashing trackball bug?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
You always have something up your sleeve. Lol cant wait to check it out
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
is that a bug or feature? i hate it flashing everytime
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thomazzanten:
Every Eris based Rom has that ''feature''..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] henky92:
for the peeps who want gallery3D which isn't included in 3.3

just install it like any other apk

oh and when will the HTC stock widgets be available again? My homescreen looks kinda empty now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] btdag:
They are available what version are you running? i have them on 3.3 and did on 3.1 as well.

Have you:

- Missing HTC Widgets after flash?

Settings > Applications > Manage application > HTC Sense > Clear Data

And go back to home, and all widgets are back!

Or you might need to format your SD card and reboot the phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
will check back at 10pm...............

How about GPS problem? Is it fixed in BeHero and / or will it be fixed in Villain?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Rui-Cruz:
Just saw this tip from behnaam on the legend rom:

"For thoose missing widgets do this:

Settings > Applications > Manage application > HTC Sense > Clear Data

And go back to home, and all widgets are back! "

I don`t know if this works for all 2.1 roms, but if it does it should be in capital letters on the wiki to avoid the big problem people been having with missing widgets . I never had any problems myself, but for a time there were so many, I felt it was just a matter of time..:D Hope someone with problems can try this out, also on willain 3.3
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] l3st4t50:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
Yeah i had the same problem using tristans metamorph theme he made, all the buttons had changed to the new ones but the arc wasnt removed, did mention in in the the theme thread but didnt get a reply. I know that the arc was removed when using his update script though, try looking in there?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tristan202:
There are some issues with metamorph in 2.1. If you just try an run it a few times, it should all get changed. And remember to apply on all the files. The rosie arc is in both rosie.apk and com.htc.resources.apk.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chnoch:
I don't know if this is something rom related or if it was always that way, but i just recently discovered it. there is a process called com.htc.bgp in the app os monitor it shows as Flickr, that i cant kill. this wouldnt bother me too much, but the longer i haven't turned the phone off, the more instances of this process appear. so after having it on for maybe two days i had like 30 instances of com.htc.bgp, that i couldnt kill. and i don't even use flickr ;)

also the footprints app is quite a memory consuming app (about 30 mb) just for the bg process...

Low Volume on Microphone during calls

I have an issue with the mic having a very low almost silent volume during calls and recording etc in the BeHero 1.3.1 if you are using this as a base it may need fixing just thought i would let you know NP good luck with the new ROM im looking forward to it immensely!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Enoo:
Great Rom.

Been running without a single force close yet.

A few problems that I have yet to find solutions for;

- No internet access for browser within apps (Astrid & Wapedia)

- Slow GPS fix, tried a number of fixes for this but no luck yet.

If anyone could help particularly with the app issue would be great.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] henky92:
damn how could I not have come up with something that simple:P well thanks it worked!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cjanissaryc:
Yeah, solving the app issue would be great!

How come, so few people talk about this? Nobody using apps like That, or is this a Problem, not affecting all devices?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
Think it's affecting everybody. Maybe people just are avoiding such apps for the moment... At least I do

According to @nprussell on twitter we're not moving to the Legend leak as a base.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
He didn't make it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I have an idea on this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Broken:
Shame, as I just jumped ship to see how the legend port is and everything seems to work great! Signal seems better with same radio (don't know why???) and no forced sim contacts. Wifi and everything i have tried works great.

Was all hyped up to see what Villain Legend would look like.

Maybe change your mind? Wonder if different Hero versions behave differently as I have not had any issues that others have reported. I have the Telus version. Maybe that makes a diff.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
Hey Nathan, I'm getting these random restarts more often now. I have no idea what could be the problem as I did a full wipe + SD and everything and applied all the "fixes" updates. Are you personally getting random restarts too?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
If you want the apk to flash let me know. The 3D gallery works fine except in horizontal mode. Chpoubs 1.9 is, to my knowledge, the ONLY rom that has perfect horizontal 3D gallery; I heard it was due to the radio?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barryallott:

Hi guys.

Just managed to install root on my phone and would like to try out this custom rom.

Is there a guide anywhere on how to install this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
I briefly tried out BeHero 1.3.1 to see if this app issue was fixed. It isn't, so I am back with Villain (which I have to agree with you is just as swift in day-to-day use).

Really, this Astrid (and other) app issue where they cannot get web access is the only problem that really bothers me, I hope you can get to the bottom of it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eldrid:
@Kuresu

1)copy the ROM file which is a .zip file to your sd card.

2) if u have installed a custom recovery then just boot into the custom recovery by pressing HOME+POWER while switching the phone on.

3)select flash zip from sd card from the menu in the custom recovery.

and ur good to go.

Always make a nandroid backup of ur current rom when ur in the recovery since u may want to go back to ur original rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Honestly, I haven't had ONE random restart.

Here's exactly what I have installed:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] masterbox:
First post in this thread to thank you very much for this ROM.

I use it for a week now (first 3.2 and now 3.3) and I think it's a good compromise.

I only had a few random restart (I think 2 in a week).

I also had the battery drain issue with GPS ativated on boot, I flashed on older radio ROM to see if it's better.

Except that it's perfect for me !

Great work, keep up !!!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hanserson1:
Bluetooth Audio

First, this rom is a real good alternative to the existing custom 1.5 roms. Quality is very impressive. I hesitated long to switch from 1.5 to 2.1. Now I have the Villain 3.3 running without remorse. Two thumbs up!

I have a weired issue with this rom and my hands free car kit (parrot 9100), though. The phone is connected via bluetooth and the phone book is syncronised. Then it should be possible to have access to the syncronised phone book on the parrot. This works so far but I can access the home numbers only. The rest like mobile numbers and so on are not available. This happens with the Villain 3.3 only. With Villain 3.2 I had not such an issue. I already reset the parrot system but it didn't help. Anyone out there who can help?

Cheers!

new release and themes

Hi Nathan,

I just wanted to say thank's for u're fantastic work, it's awesome!

although i wanted to give you a hand onto the theme stuff, by giving you some sounds for it (ringtones or alarms...) could you just tell me how long they must be and in witch format you need them ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I think that moving over to the legend base is something that will have to happen eventually as it is a gsm leak and we use gsm devices., however for now it is working fine in the eris base at least for me. Looks like new legend builds are coming out all the time now anyway.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I will do what I can regarding the battery issue. Please remember though, that the Legend leak is using the same kernel. Battery issues will still exist.

In addition, the Legend leak is buggy. Here's a couple more examples of what I have found so far:

OpenGL issue.

Google Navigation, Skymap & Gallery3D black screen or crash to home screen, just like in early versions of Villain.

Mic Volume

Un-usably low

Sim Contacts

Strangely re-appear

HTC Widgets

Some graphical bugs like we saw in early Villain releases

The Legend rom is an older leak than the Eris rom. Therefore, I'll stick with Eris, and work on fixing it.

I won't be adding a poll, as I feel that this is the best way forward for VillainROM. Oh.. and it's my own rom. The Legend rom would be Benham's rom, with my tweaks. Anyone with a proficiency in winzip can do that.

Wait and see... You should be impressed with 3.4 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Arthur Hucksake:
Stick to your guns with the Eris port mate, the Legend one is outright rubbish. Just hoping someone out there finds a wonder fix for the battery woes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Maybe, maybe not. The fact that you can't remove sim contacts in the Legend leak anyway (they re-appear again on reboot) pretty much negates the benefit of having a GSM rom.

If HTC release their Hero specific rom Mid-March (next few days), then we'll never have to move over to the Legend leak.

The epic amount of competition has put me off a little lately, so I'm going to go back to enjoying the rom, making it the best it can be, like I was doing prior to the Eris leak.

Those of you that have stuck with Villain and remained loyal will be rewarded with what I consider to be the very best of my releases, and I hope you feel the same. :)

PS - My evening is DEVOTED to attempting to fix the battery life.

I also know what's causing the soft reboot, and I believe I can fix it.

I seem to remember reading a news story on a Norwegian tech website that the hero would be upgraded in mid-April now. Did anyone else see this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] btdag:
With relation to battery life I have now been running my phone with v3.3 for aproximately 36 hours and it is at 74%. I have made a few phone calls, played some games, used the market and internet briefly.

I have found a significant increase in the battery life by turning everything off when it is not needed, i.e. GPS, 3G (mobile networks), Wireless, Bluetooth, & Backlight. If you always set these settings to their lowest or off settings when turning off the screen you'll also see am massive increase in battery life.

Current stats are:

52% Cell standby

36% Phone Idle

12% Voice calls

I'll try and find the battery graph exported at about 24 hours and make a new one for 36 hours.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kolaf:
I have an update on the GPS battery issue. After running for two days, one day with the GPS on and one day with the GPS off I have made the following findings.

1. the phone is able to sleep with the GPS after I flashed the radio

2. It seems to sleep less than with the GPS off

Observation was that the day with the GPS on the phone died at 9 PM, while the next day with the GPS off at the same usage pattern the phone was at 60% at the end of the day. Furthermore, the slope of the battery to is steeper with the GPS on for a period of idle time compared to with the GPS off.

In other words, the radio fix does not solve the GPS issue, but it improves the situation.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] b1ck132:
Thanks mate, for the great work, excellent ROM. It was a hard decision for me to move from MCR 3.2, to a series of buggy ROMs, and was nearly regretting it, till I flashed your 3.3 ROM. It's pretty decent, and stable, except for a few hiccups(soft-reset here and there), and suitable for daily use.

With the battery use, it's a weird experience for me, since I actually get more battery life then I did with MCR 3.2, I think my unit has problems =p Or I was using a bad flash of an MCR 3.2 for a month =p

The only thing I want to whine about is, the keyboard lag and an SMS issue. =I I usually use the Phone Keypad, with Turkish T9, and it lags quite a lot.

Also, Turkish has accented chars, like ç,ş,ö,ü,ğ,ı,İ. When I use ş,ğ,ı in a text message the number of chars that can be included drops to 70s. This is normal. But that never happened with ç,ö or ü, in any phone, or ROM i ran accross to so far, but with this ROM, the Ç drops the char count from 160, to 70s. Could there be any solution for this?

Since I'm used to hunting for the ğ,ş,ı before sending a text message, and swap tehm before sending txts, but with ç, I never check it, and it's been causing a bump in my txt count lately =p

Thank you ^^

I have been testing it all day at work, and will continue to do so whilst I am here.

As a result, I'm going to commit to tomorrow lunch time at the latest.

pre-3.4 release wish list::D

1) Blue highlights

Done! ;)

2) Working MMS ( or at least workaround )

RC version of MMSZap2.0 - I believe it may autoconfigure

3) GPS fix

Not yet, unfortunately. I'm working on it though. 3.4 isn't final yet.

4) Better battery life

Much, much better. The sleep mode fix has helped too.

5) Large ( ie readable ) opening web-pages

Hmmm, this is an odd one. I won't be changing the browser. I'd recommend you all check out Opera Mini Browser Beta 5 though. Very, very fast!

6) 3D Gallery ( if working )

I'm re-adding Gallery 3D, but it will still have the rotation bug.
