hmm. Did your file from jnwhitely do anything (I've lost track of who's tried what)? I've got 5 mins left on vanillain (stupid 4shared :(), but i'll take a look as soon as it arrives.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Thanks, garfunk71.

Which rom is this from, just out of interest?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
No smd or dmagent in 1.1 vanillain :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
Sorry, I'm new to ARM and got the opcodes messed up. This dmagent should remove the error:

http://www.mediafire.com/?oy0zzkl5zvn

Just do

adb remount

adb push dmagent /system/bin

adb shell

chmod 0755 /system/bin/dmagent

No need for a restart.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fozzieb:
ok again with the exchange password ****, I get what it is for but it expects me to have a current security code to change, i don't have one. i'm using google apps for domain to host my email (and no i can't use google sync)

if i leave current password blank, it will not accept it, am i missing something?

cheers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] garfunk71:
Edit : don't use if this method works (it worked for me, no more lines in logcat).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
no change at all. lox said it works for him at htcpedia with the file from homer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
@garfunk71: thanks

@kendon: ok. have you tried the new file from homer?

@others: anyone tried the file from garfunk71?

edit: oh. just thought: if we're trying to get to the bottom of this, afaik we should only change 1 thing at a time. So if you want to use homer's file, by all means go ahead (thanks for it :)), but if you're trying to sort smd out, then don't go for it just yet imho, because then we shouldn't see the telltale error.

Unless the 2 are unrelated, and maybe smd only manifests itself in no GPRS???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
woohoo!

E/DMAgent ( 965): SMD Port open failure.[v1.1.2.12231200]
I/DMAgent ( 972): SMD Port open success.[v1.1.2.12231200]
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] garfunk71:
Pushing the dmagent file resolves the problem with SMD port (i don't have any errors in logcat).

Edit : seems that i didn't really understood what did you mean. Sorry.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Good! Do you have GPRS working? (ie. go turn on 2G only and see if you get online and browsing)

edit in response to your edit (;)): no, just ignore me. I know what I'm meaning, but if you get GPRS fine then ignore me...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
browsing on edge right now...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
This is just a temporary fix, trying to find out why it happens now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Nice! so was that just with the patched dmagent, or did you put in an smd as well?

Good work folks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
HomerSP, you are the man! nice going guys, hopefully Russell will slip this into 3.2
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] garfunk71:
doesn't work :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
no bother. I appreciate this is just 'swapping' the two calls (I presume). kendon's also got edge working, signifying smd is working for him.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
ok. don't panic. lets wait and see if kendon had an smd file in or not...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
Actually, I've just tried flicking the 2G switch without pushing the file, to see if it's broken, and it's not, 2G only works fine for me. That suggests it could be a seperate APN issue maybe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiz ^^:
adb push dmagent /system/bin give me

failed to copy 'dmagent' to '/system/bin/dmagent': No space left on device

What s wrong ?

Even with DroidExplorer after the copy dmagent won't show !

Now I don't ahve the dmagent file, my phone seems to work correctly oO Phone call, texting, 3G & Wifi
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tony28:
Is apps2sd automatically activated ??? Or do we need to activate it manually ????

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
smd file in what? i just pushed the the last file (dmagent) from homerSP. follow his instructions, then it won't give the error anymore. edge works fine for, just set it 2g only in settings.

here you can see my edge working, and for all the screenshot-crybabies ;) out there aswell. the errors are only on the screenshot, the weather animation is as smooth and fancy as could be...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
did you adb remount first? and did you delete the old file or not?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jpq:
@nprussel

Very nice rom, i have no problem except with activesync exchange syncing, because my work's server uses auto signed certificate:

I can set up the account by accepting this certificate as it is required,

but later, i've to accept again (many times) the certificate.

In Villain 3 and 3 beta 4, i'had no problem withi ceritcates :it was possible to accept all certificates

In settings, there was 2 check boxes Use SSL and accept all certificates and i had no problems

Could please add this choice in your next build.

Tkx

Jpq
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] garfunk71:
Gosh...can't have any connection working ! Gmail and Browser doesn't work (i don't noticed before because I was in Wifi)...sounds bad, i reinstall
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Thanks for confirming. So it seems homer's file does the trick :)

By smd file, I was wondering if you had also pushed a stock smd file from someone like garfunk71, but evidently not...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiz ^^:
Yes I followed instructions

I also try with DroidExplorer but my phone don't let me copy anything in the bin directory oO
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Can anyone else report this working? If they can, then maybe russell could include it in 3.2 if it's not too late...

or does this change only affect the logcat output (ie. no actual battery life benefit likely)?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
You definitely rooted? Running the latest villainrom (3.1)? I only ask as 3.0 had root issues
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Villain 3.2 done. Uploading in next couple of hours :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Uniqron:
Working for me:

APN, wifi, sync, mail push, imap email, all widgets, games with 3d, galery 3d, camera, latest sygic navigation (beta only though), browser / java, contacts, texting, wavesecure, pc connecting, keyboard performance is good, shapewriter.

Not working:

Barcode reader, older navigation apps (no voice), google nav, google goggles (all images are blurry / off focus, doesn't work right)

I even dare to go and fieldtest this, more tests to perform tomorrow!

So far, I've found no reason to not use this as a daily build!!! EPIC!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
whats have you done? :) as in a fix list please :D mms by any chance? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiz ^^:
Sure I am on VillaiROM 3.1

DroidExplorer need root + busybox, so don't understand...

I will flash 3.2 and if it is not there I will complete wipe and re flash. It's Ok =/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vrmp:
2G works for me after the patch, but I'm not sure if it did or didn't before.

I only patched to remove the error message :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Nice! One question for you, russell; do you have GPRS working on the new 3.2 without any modifying of dmagent? Just trying to figure out a couple of things about battery issues. Also, if you don't mind, do you see regular dmagent/smd messages in logcat with 3.2, even when screen is off?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Yeah, the network location is incredibly confusing. It works for me without netloc, and has for others too. For some though, it simply will not work.

I have an idea as to what the cause might me.

Unfortunately though, I'm sat on my mini-laptop right now, in a hotel. I can't work on the ROM on this, so it's going to have to wait until I get back. :(

Keep testing folks, I read every post in this thread - I don't get time to reply to them all, so I'm sorry if I've missed your question.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluetigger68:
I second that, did work in 1.1, nothing in 1.2 even though the location is set.

When dialin *#*#4636#*#* in the phone app and selecting phoneinformation LAC and CID are shown and correct but somehow the data isn't used by the weather-app...

Anybody tested networklocation with gmaps? Would be interresting to know if it's a application issue or if it happens to all apps using networklocation.

greets.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bram77:
How is the speed if v1.2 compared to 1.0? Version 1.0 was to slow for me, so I went back to my previous 1.5 rom.

And I didn't really notice much difference from my 1.5 rom, except it's a lot slower. Why should I go to 2.1? Google maps navigation (I live in the Netherlands)? What are the benefits?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ypyp:
bugs and themes

First of all, thank you, it's a great rom.

Bugs: my device crashed (reset) when i played with the camera app, and the news and weather app is a bit buggy.

Themes: are there any themes compitable with this rom?

I realy like the new rosie designe, and would love to have it on this rom. so as to the icons of android 2.1 (sms for exp).

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Goose247:
Music player (not widget) main buttons are a bit weird (last track, play and next track). Minor bug but thought I would let you know :)

Also still having su permissions problems. When you run an app that needs su permissions, it goes to su permissions app but screen just goes black before you get the options.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jugulator:
Bug report

Not locating my location..Stuck in Dublin!

Weather app working but not showing the current location neither there is an option to select current location.

Contacts synced with google after several attempts, BUT strangely contact images are not showing up which quite annoying. Facebook contacts pictures are showing!

Not sure why there is 2 contacts application

Blue background around the text part of Wifi/bluetooth etc.

More later when tested.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] princescar:
I'm sure it's not working in chinese, the display char is blank. even with "more locale 2", sorry to that.:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] immya:
hi, just wondering how you send files via bluetooth, cant sem to find it in the menu
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pat.bateman:
Brilliant work!

From v1.2 on your rom is ready for me for everyday use!

Exchange is working fine!

A few minor things to improve:

HTC Settings Widget for Mobile Network: Switching on works fine; switching off takes very long and although the connection goes down widget stay on

Missing a lot of ring tones (only two available)

Music App´s < " > Buttons disappear.

Looking forward to your work coming!

Pat
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dakeyras:
for photos in an album long click > share > bluetooth, not sure about sending other file formats etc. Nor have i tried it yet
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dakeyras:
had a bit of time to play and all sync (gmail/exchange/facebook/twitter) working. Facebook contacts synced automatically merged with gmail contacts. time to play some more! Could be a daily use ROM methinx.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nikiforos:
thank you for this great rom. stable and fast enough for daily use. I had some pennies left in my paypal account I will donate it asap.

there are some sudden increases in music player. it would be nice if it stayed loud :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Flame-R:
my location doesnt work, what is netloc and where can i get it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] klaus27:
Location problem in germany as well.

When I add the clock widget with weather included to the home screen, it asks me to select the city. I added Frankfurt manually and selected it from the lisk, but it shows Gdansk in Poland (I think). "Current City" is showing nothing, so I assume I have been hit by the location bug as well. I opened the clock app and saw that Gdansk is there twice, so probably the combo list has just removed duplicates and because Frankfurt was selected, it submitted index 2 which is the second entry of Gdansk actually. A bug in the software, nothing to worry about.

The stock HTC mail app is such a memory killer... Unbeleivable... With Villain 1.1 I had around 100MB free mem whereas now with 1.2 and Exchange enabled I have no more than 40MB.... Anyway, it's working fine. Only the graphics are a bit misplaced... But hey, it's not official, so I assume HTC is still working on it.

Genie Widget always FCs unfortunately.

Other than that, great rom!!! Best so far. Can't await further performance optimizations :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] klaus27:
Please try the following:

Open up the clock app, go to world time and open the context menu. Select delete and delete Gdansk. In my installation it was there twice. Probably this fixes the issue for you as it did for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thecastlefordkid:
Copilot 8.0.0.606 is working for me.

Exchange also works perfectly too.

Finally, a ROM when Mobile network Sharing works as well without having WiFi Tether or any other 3rd part app installed.

Still a bit laggy for me to use on a daily basis but all in all, a pretty decent ROM. A lot better and more stable than the others I've tried :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] PrinzEisenherz1:
CoPilot is not working for me.

I can not believe it. I get the message, the trial has expired. :mad:

With Modaco 3.2 I have no problems
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thecastlefordkid:
Do you still have the Copilot folder on your SD Card?

Mine is still there from when I ran MCR 3.2 Beta. All I needed to do was install Copilot again from the Market and it picked up all the maps etc that I had previously downloaded. Also picked up my username and password and activated straight away
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] simarson:
Thanks for the fantastic ROM. Just a couple of observations;

I'm with O2 UK and with the clock set to 'automatic' with GMT+1, it reads 13 1/2 hours late (i.e. 0817 when the time is actually 2247).

I'm getting the similar problem with location - google maps just says 'Enable a location source in settings', even when wireless/network is enabled, and the weather currently places me in Dublin when I'm 40 miles west of Birmingham.

The most significant though, is that auto-correct/dictionary doesn't seem to work for SMS messages, even when turned on in settings. Keyboard response is very good, and the 'to:' box gives suggestions from the address book tho.

Thanks again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
if you got root issues read the faq in my sig, sorry i didnt read your earlier post so dont know the exact problem
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Weird... I'd do a complete wipe for 3.2 and see. I tend to wipe for any update though, just to try and avoid any errors like the widgets.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barryallott:
I do believe Nathen has experienced first hand, what 1st line support is for... the things people do not know ANYTHING about, REFUSE to learn, or lookup, but put a simple forum response detailing about as much as my local DUCK would give in the piece of 50/50 i gave it yesterday, and expect a full new version. Good luck... but I think this is a game of ignore the morons...

please people... please... This is a custom rom, and I know he says things will/wont work, its all best work, and since you dont pay a penny go spend one elsewhere.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
Found out what the actual problem is though, dmagent searches for /dev/smd19, but it should look for /dev/smd27.

init.rc says

service dmagent /system/bin/dmagent -N -P19 -VSY

think you need to change the -P parameter ;)

EDIT: Nevermind, that didn't work.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Not heard of that before now... not being patronizing, but I take it all the right cables are plugged in? (i've had the usb connector slightly out the plug before, wondering what was wrong :)

Does it charge fine when powered off?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Nae bother. Anything to make your 'job' slightly easier... looking forward to 3.2. Might actually flash it (i said id do 3.1, then spent all my time answering questions on the thread, so never got round to it :( did my nandroid, so I'm good to go tomorrow.

I have an IQ larger than my shoe number multiply with 2....so

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
i don't get the error anymore, with altered init.rc and dmagent from V3.1. anyway to check what port it is using?

edit: nathan are you going to adopt it or should i create an update.zip?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
Yeah, I didn't flash it properly. Don't get the error now.

If you don't get the error it should use the correct port. But if you want to be sure add -D0 to dmagent in init.rc (logcat should say something like SMD Port: ##).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Sorry, no offense intended. That seems strange. AFAIK, the +5v pins on the connector go straight to the battery charge controller, hence meaning a dead phone will often charge but not boot. Do you still get usb data connection fine?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
will try, for now i get only this in logcat:

I/DMAgent ( 119): SMD Port open success.[v1.1.2.12231200]

edit: same with -D0 option, but still good enough i guess.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gxg:
yap.. because I removed the cable from charger and put it in my laptop usb... and I got red led and charging.. almost immediately.

Strange.. I removed from usb.. and put it in charger..1 min ago... and it started to charge. hmmmmm I will pay atention to this issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:

I have the contacts backup and the software i use.. but how to install or download one if I dont have an laptop or internet connection? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
need an update.zip? just throw in your favorite filemanager... ;)

edit: @nathan, consider it done, will send pm now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gxg:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiz ^^:
Keep an .apk of a file manager on your SD ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gxg:

I have and apk.... but how to acces it? from sense? :)

and if it's possible from command line.. what will be the string?

and then install it how?

@gxg: "just throw in your favorite filemanager" as in send me the apk, then i will create an update.zip for you...

Not sure if there is a handler for apk files in the terminal, but how would you get the get the terminal in?

I'd recommend an update.zip of a file manager that just pops the apk into /data/app
