Keeping the Sense Hero Theme beyond 3.4 would be a nice one mate, I am sure there are quite a lot of us on here who like using this theme
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] olive22:
It's so bad that someone has actually went and built a SDK for smartphones with it... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Lol yeah. It can't stand writing desktop applications using it (clumsy, and I'd rather use a C-based variant). I also can't stand the look of a java GUI application, although I know that look isn't everything, but it certainly is better to use a visually pleasing program than some java program that looks like it belongs in windows 3.1

But yes, it's good for android in that plenty of people can program in java...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tombriden:
+1 for this!

@anon2122: i made an update.zip for the notes app from the MoDaCo roms, if you want to include that in the collection, PM me your email and ill send it over
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
PM sent. I'll see if I hear back from the guy offering the hosting... Either way, I'll try and make something, although it may need to be mediafire links to begin with unless we can get something better...

Or unless Paul gets back to me about the chef account. (Although I only asked last night for both of these, so we need to give them a good bit of time first...)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] srochdi:
Ok, i'pm gonna try it, 10x for ur help

I'll give a feedback later.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
Would it be possible to set up overclock widget correctly in the rom with the optimum settings, if that will help speed and battery that is?

(So tempting to say stickman probably has some tweaks......)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] remeez:
Hi Nathan,

Any news on 3.5? Will we be seeing an update today?

Do you perhaps have a teaser as to what we can expect?

This is the best ROM ever!

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ibruceuk:
Hi guys,

I've been lurking for a while, currently using Villain 3.4 and am very impressed!

In response to the discussion on hosting, I can supply *almost* limitless hosting if it's required as a way of contributing to the community.

Cheers,

Ian
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I believe we need kernel sources to do this, as OC widget doesn't do anything since the crap kernel we currently has overrides it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
Hmm, so does the setting the internal task killer minfree to 1536,2048,4096,5120,15360,25600 still work, or is that more of a 1.5 thing?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Ian,

Nice offer. If your server would be up to the large-ish files, then that would be brilliant. One thing though, is would rsync be usable to upload files, as this would make uploads faster for me or Nathan or whoever, but also put less load on your server, and hopefully prevent broken uploads etc.

I've already PMd a guy in Canada about hosting, but if you're happy, I'm sure we could host it in 2 places (maybe rsync between servers if possible...) so people have a choice of geographic location. (Don't know where you're geographically based...)

If this would be possible, feel free to PM me to discuss

Pulser
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
That does appear to work fine on 2.1. I've been using it and it certainly seems to take notice of the settings. If you want to check, set it to aggressive, then start playing some music and open as many apps as you can. Eventually, you should notice the music stop, or some of the other apps close.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
Thanks, I think it would be nice to play with a Rosie-less vanillain rom based on the Legend release.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
Jeez I am only gagging for 4.0 beta. I can only press F5 on this page SO many times... :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kevinbeard:
Is that true? Because I was getting poor battery life before installing the overclock widget. I would lose 10% battery with 20 mins of mp3 listening (with the screen off), and I lost a lot over night.

Now I'm getting fantastic battery life, better than the stock rom.

Perhaps I was suffering from the GPS issue without realising it, and somehow that's gone now. Very confusing???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Nathan has said on twitter that the beta will be getting its own thread. so refreshing this page might not be any good.

And if he is at work (which I believe he is) then it won't be uploaded until some time late tonight so no real point refreshing now

p.s. download an auto refresh widget for your browser they are great (firefox/chrome)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Overclock widget does work, just not as well as it could do. This is as anon said because the Kernal limits its use.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Keefo:
quick question...

when this new version is released... whats the best way of backing up all my stuff to make the move to a new version less painfull??

Cheers

Keith
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
Sometime tonight...... noooooooooo im leaving today at 12 and not back till tuesday, was hoping to get it before then to play with over the weekend. Ive done a backup already lol
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Titanium backup or My Backup Pro

And if you can just use google contacts to sync your contacts, don't back them up as it can mess things up when the phone re-syncs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] StNickZA:
I was mostly joking, but thanks for the advice. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Didn't know that... It could have been the GPS issue, just 'undercover'. There's a command posted somewhere on the ~800 pages of this thread that reveals the time you've spent in each CPU state. I'd try searching for the 'cat' command and seeing if you get anywhere. Maybe someone else can point it out again...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
Use either titanium backup or mybackup pro, if you use an exchange or google mail account its probably not worth backing up mail, contacts or calendar though. Just let them synch afterwards.

Edit. Damn Lenny beat me to it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Keefo:
Cheers mate!

and how do i transfer all my contacts onto my google account??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] IcEman911:
You need to ensure that each contact is saved as a 'Google Contact' and thus it will sync automatically.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
Are you able to read?

Taken from the first post:

If he didn't credit you for 6 PNG as he's said then get over yourself. Not that it will matter as of 4.0 as he's not including your 6 PNG files. If it was proper art I could understand but get lost and grow up.

a) You picked the wrong way to air your complaints

b) You aired them like a 2 year old with no structural argument

c) You went on to be childish with your first follow up post.

d) You also picked the wrong place to say things, you'll find that alot of people in this thread will stick with this and (if someone's willing to post how to) would rather remove your **** than ditch this ROM if it really is that important to you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
They might already be there

Log on to www.google.com/contacts to be able to see and manage what's there from a pc

Also if you add any on-line they will sync with your phone.

Or go to each contact in your phone and then link it with your google account.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kevinbeard:
Thanks :-)

I'll check that out thanks. This thread is getting soooo big now it can be hard to find info.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kevinbeard:
Perhaps the wiki could have a list of known issues. Could always use something like Launchpad to host it. Or maybe vBulletin supports sub-threads?

I think your project might have outgrown the forum/thread style form of documentation :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] baldric:
I also have a server i could host stuff on.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Agreed, but I lack the time to set up a thorough wiki and maintain it. :(

I could add things to it, but unfortunately I don't have the time to set one up.

I agree though. It needs it's own bloody forum, with subcategories such as:

Feedback

Bugs

Themes

Boot Animations

Fixes

etcetc.

I wish I had the time to make a thoroughly professional job of it, but I'm currently working 50 hour weeks in a new job.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Do you have the SQL/PHP know-how to set up a PHPBB forum? ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ibruceuk:
I can set one up on my host no problems....

I'll do it tonight when I configure rsync etc on a new domain.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drygmasken:
www.freeforums.org has free phpbb forums. Easy to configure.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
we should also be using hashtags on this forum really so that we can search for relatvent information

e.g. #bugs that way if you search for "#bugs" it will bring up all the posts about bugs etc.

Only problem would be ensuring everyone used them....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Keefo:
i can host files too, and also have PHPBB Forum installed....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phanes:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:

droiddeposit.com?

megaupdroid.com?

I give up :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
We don't want to end up with more than one forum though :)

But seriously hashtags are the way forward

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] baldric:

Hi guy, I need help with the bootscreen in VillainROM3.3!!.....wonderful and stable ROM for my Hero with H3G in Italy!!! Very good job Russell, you and the other developers in this project are my myth :D :D

Probably i missed something :confused: , but I'd like to change the bootscreen with "[BOOTSCREEN] Hero/NexusOne Hybrid & NexusOne" shown in another thread......but it's impossible!!!

What is wrong?

However, be warned - I HAVE NOT fixed the speed yet.

The speed fix will come on Sunday/Monday.

Hi,

Cause I have too much battery drainage I would like to go back to my HTC dutch stock rom.

When I start flashing this Rom,I used Amon Ra’s Hero Recovery Image.

Is there a possibility to get my original Rom back on my HTC Hero with that?

Please let me know where to start ;)

Thanks in advance
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
If you took a nandroid backup, just go back to it, if not you will need to search for a rom from your telco for your phone or download the wwe version if you bought your phone seperate from a contract.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rimoog:
I did not make a nandroid backup :(

My Hero is an unbranded phone,so i can use a WWE version,is this also in dutch.

Is this version the same as the one which was on the phone when I bought it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Keefo:
Ill have one setup for you if you want soon.

Will make you an admin account as soon as my host has changed a few things for me that are pending.

Also have 150gb of space to use and a POT load of bandwidth to suck dry haha
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thomazzanten:
Here you'll have all the original roms. I should take the 405.5, that's the update that came in november ;)

http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero-hero-modaco-com/291942/22-jan-stock-roms-radios-in-update-zip-format-for-gsm-hero/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
Most likely, clairvoyance isnt one of my major skills.

The official wwe version downloadable from HTC will be version 1.5, which is significantly better than the first release rom, so I would advise installing that if you want to stay official, you could always install the modaco rom or one of the other 1.5 based roms though?

Bear in mind that if you install the official rom, you will need to go through the goldcard process or another method to root it in future.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
Guys, I'm really thinking we don't need another forum, its hard enough getting Hero users together as it is (look at the poor state of Modaco Hero forum and HTCPedia.com). Don't get me wrong, I love Modaco and Paul has done fantastically with his ROM's, but the Hero community there has nothing on the XDA one... Even with c**ks like Stickman..

Not to mention, look at all the android dev forums that have started up and never got any content at all, devdroid, alldroid, etc, etc.

Anyone considered the stackoverflow.com model for android release/rom/bugtracking?? I think it'd work quite well

Hi GURUS

just a quick question, seen update available for google maps from 4.0 to 4.1

just wondering any one going to make it for rooted hero's will it be added to next release.

Thanx

EDIT: just to update installed 4.1 map version, no navigation, but Blue DOT changed to BLUE ARROW, and may be some more changes... so uninstalled due to no navigation...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rimoog:
Are there big differences between the new Rom and 3.4?

What about battery drainage?

Do you guarantee the new ROM will come out before 5pm?

Cause I am just flashing and looking what ROM I should take,otherwise I will wait for some time before your new rom is downloadable :)

Richard
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rimoog:
If you had your phone rooted and you flashed to another ROM like an official rom.

Do you need to root your device again when you want to flash to VillainRom for example?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Keefo:
Im pretty sure you wont have to root it again mate!!

as i have gone back to an official rom and back again without rooting again! :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] btdag:
Depends if you still have the recovery image there or not.

it is unlikely you will if it is an official rom, but try booting up with home + power. If not time to start again ...

FYI - rooting is gaining root access (admin access) - you're talking about gaining recovery access, which is what you need to flash a new rom. It is the rom which enables root.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
There will be an updated version of "Brut Maps" soon I am sure.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I made two minor changes on lunch and it's now bootlooping.

I'll take a break around 3pm to fix the bootloop, then re-sign.

Once this is done... if it's all working, I'll upload.

If I don't have time to get this done, I'll do it when I arrive at my hotel tonight about 11pm...

I'll do what I can to get this ready by 5pm.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
You could say that; there's no street.apk in apps! :)

If you push it, it should work.

I'll be including it in the next rom anyway.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Neo12:
It seems like i can't use any ROOT-apps. Like Marked enabler for instance... Lame that i can't download my bought apps after the update from 1.1 to 1.21
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I can also confirm that you'll have the bookmark widget back with 2.0.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I have to say 2.0 is sounding fantastic any estimate as to when it will be out?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sveintore:
Looking forward to 2.0 :D

Might be a couple more bucks in it for you too ;)

I'm open to beta test anything that affects Exchange support. We're running Exchange 2007 at work. (and that's where all my contacts/mail/calendar is)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
It's purely an estimation, as fixing things seems to be breaking things, but I think I'll have it ready by tomorrow at some point. MAYBE at midnight GMT tonight, but no promises.

I'm sure you'd all rather have a very stable release where everything works than a half finished effort just to get one out there :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Neo12:
I believe you skipped my post, but I would like an answer when you are online:) Maybe i'll donate a bit for the support

Anyways:

It seems like i can't use any ROOT-apps. Like Marked enabler for instance... Lame that i can't download my bought apps after the update from 1.1 to 1.21

and

And how is that relevant to my problem? I know its supposed to work, since nobody else have complainted about it, but is there anything I could do before I

Also to dev: DAMN nice ROM. Best one I have ever used, except for some minor glitches (which tend to sort themselfs out :) )

Update: I decided to just wipe and re-flash 1.2 then wipe, then 1.21. Still Markedenabler, payed apps. When i start Superuser Permissions it just shows a black window, menu-button or any other button triggers a reaction within the program. Gonna reflash to just 1.2 and see how that goes.

voice

what about the voice search issue ? are you going to fix it ?

And i've read a few things about voice typing or so on android 2.1 ? what about that...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dakeyras:
This is added in the notes section of my google contacts that I've linked with facebook, I don't know about meant to be invisible though. This was also there in previous ROMs i used.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluetigger68:
No it's not working atm. He's working on it. I've already mentioned that root is not working about 200 posts ago and therefore i suggest you start reading the thread.

It's just not neccessary to post the same issue all over again.

He knows and anybody who was read the thread knows either.

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eeww:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
Wasn't it the best Smartphone of 2009? I think to say its the best phone of 2010 is a total overstatement, the Hero ain't as good as the Nexus (not to mention many of the other devices that came out after the Hero release), and its only a quarter of the way into 2010... Pfft!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] olive22:
FYI: This update seems to have fixed something for me:

with Maps 4.0, my location was completely off when connected through my personal wireless (it located me at my ISPs, 40kms off...)

This influenced the weather widget.

with Maps 4.1, my location is "correct" even through wireless. It positions me on the nearest GSM antenna I know of.

Has anyone else had this with VillainROM3.4 and Maps 4.0 ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barryallott:
has anyone else had an issue where the phone will lose a mobile connection and will not get it back until a restart, which the connection is back but soon after (few hours i think) the connection goes again.

Don't think its the mobile signal as my m8 has a hero as well and he sits opposite me. His signal is fine.

And he has 3.4 as well. with the latest radio like me.

Just reflashed the latest radio to see if that works.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I have had this problem once on 3.4 but have had it at least once on most roms I have tried.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
All these awards and they still cant get 2.1 out in a timely fashion.

Face, meet palm....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barryallott:
Took the battery off and the sim holder was loose, this could have been it... checking now............

Edit: I think that's it.... simple stuff..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
That was my problem in the past, not with 3.4 though, however like I said it has only happened once on this rom (probably because I just needed to restart)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Slightly off topic i know but do you think all the 1.5 roms will automatically become obsolete after the 2.1 upgrade official comes or will they all just become 2.1 roms :)

Back on topic, half hour or so till Nathan takes that break he mentioned to see about fixing the rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
soon as there a fast kernel available like 1.5 for devs, then yes imo

lol you counting down.....
