Anyone having trouble installing this ROM? I've updated to the latest recovery image etc... done wipe and it just freezes on the Hero logo, i've left it on for an hour and nothing happens.. The sense rom worked fine...

Also just incase, I did have trouble before with the phone ie, unable to mount sd card through the recovery, but I've since fixed all that, and done a format through recovery aswell. ADB USB mode does not work still, this has been the main problem, and wouldn't work on the sense rom. USB device not recognised etc... has been working in the past..

Any help, much appreciated...

EXCHANGE MANUAL SETUP!!!

dont work... .... FULL ....

I have to manual setup as my e-mail address does not match my username.

Great rom, (apart from the blue circle background on the text boxes). but exchange is OUT for me.

Is you're hero ROOTED?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
Thanks dude!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
No bother. Thank WaveSecure, since they decided to acknowledge us root users exist, and cater for us :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tristan202:
Bleep!

I have noticed that some people have complained about the high bleep when plugging the usb cable. I thought it was quite annoying too, so I made a fix. I am going to post it here for now, until there is a fixlist for 3.4 on the Wiki.

Flash through amon ra.

Fix high bleep
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] apesgrapes:

i know it happened to me on first villainrom but pizzeasy to fix.

Work has well and truly got underway on the next version. Testing some pretty serious fixes.

Just an update to all:

The next release (if I accomplish what I hope to accomplish) may well be a FULL WIPE release. The reason being, it'll remove the duplication of widgets, and some unnecessary apps (stock dialler, etc).

I won't make any comments regarding what is fixed, and what isn't until I've tested, then tested again!

SIM toolkit - solved

I updated the thread above with the solution. I suggest to include this app in future releases, SIM toolkit is something every phone should support.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I too have today experienced problems with one or two numbers being automatically diverted to the voicemail.

These problems, and some problems with contacts synching happened since including the stock android stuff, which I PROMISE I will remove for the next version.

The next update will be one I can be proud of, and I won't release it until it's tested, and it's ready. That may be tonight, tomorrow or saturday morning... it depends. I have three potential builds lined up for testing.

I'm really looking forward to the next update - should be a good one :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I can confirm that this will be included in the next release.

Any more questions whilst I'm on? I'll be online for the next couple of hours, then I'll be burying my head in rom development.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jonny25:
Thanks for the mini update, seems to be working smoothly and net loc works now! I'll definitely be making a donation as soon as I can get money onto my paypal account :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nuumuun:
did you find a solution for the market not showing protected apps?

after fixing network location this is the only thing keeping me from your rom. i'm running an aosp rom right now and miss the sense stuff :p

JAVA on Android 2.1

I notice the new CKDroid update has JBed working now, any chance this can be included in the new release please? Its one of the vital features I need to continue using this excellent ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fabioccoelho:
Your ROM is nice dude ;). Please include HTC Album! :D

Thanks for support us!

:cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Yes... I found a solution for the market problem.

If anyone's interested in the technical reasons for it, here goes:

The build fingerprint needed changing, which fixes protected apps issue.

Apps like Twidroid & Barcode Scanner are NOT protected apps. The reason they aren't showing in this ROM, and several other roms, is that the camera & auto focus permissions need setting correctly. If they aren't set correctly, or are not present at all, then the market will automatically filter out any application which requires camera access.

Thanks to jnwhiteh for the explanation, as this is a seriously helpful bit of advice. I'm certain I can fix the market for the next update now :)

2 fix request, Exchange Calendar Sync Error Exchange 2007, Android Photo frame widget

Dear Mr nprussell,

Apart of the other people request I would like two things fixed:

- Error Syncing Exchange Calendar (MS Exchange 2007)

- The Android Photo frame widget only shows one corner of the picture, and there is no HTC photo frame widget. Not that important but I just love to put pictures of my beautiful newborn baby on the home screen.

Thanks man, Pretty neat Rom.

you Sir will have a donation soon!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I can confirm that I'll add the JBed.apk into the next build... for some reason, I took it out.

To type Chinese, my current workaround is to install Google Pinyin keyboard.

anyone encounter superuser permissions? Coz I try to run aNetShare but this time they nvr prompt me for Allow/Always Allowed, Deny/Always deny option, it prompts Not Rooted Phone.

I tried the method:

Hahaaa~~~ I resolved the problem!

Just use adb,first connect your phone to the PC, PC will install adb driver automatically(if not please search drivers on Google), open command prompt,type:

adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

adb push su /system/bin/

adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

adb shell reboot

All done! The su and adb file is in the attachment,enjoy~

Thanks for the replies I'm looking into it, maybe it's not rooted. weird it installs the sense rom ok though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xTuX:
is a full wipe really needed for this update? has someone tested it without wiping everything?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK. I'm experimenting with something off-topic, but I can't remember the properties I need to set on an apk to be executable from /data/app

I've used the command adb push to get it there, then I've done 'chown system.system /data/app' and 'chmod 0771 /data/app', yet the apk files don't run or show up on the phone. Have I forgotten something?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barryallott:
Sense ROM? do you mean official?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barryallott:
Cross you're fingers?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barryallott:
In my experience, Always WIPE, and make sure you use good quality paper...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
Thanks, will seed now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
lol. yeah I think that might be it :D

I'm optimising and zip-aligning a legend leak to see how fast it is. But I wanted to test my method on a non-critical file first (like teeter) to see if it works.

But then I went and forgot the required permissions to get the file to run... I know it must be owned by system (group system) and needs permission 771, but have I forgotten something like a flag to say 'recursive into directories' or something???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
Thanks, finished download, will seed now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lechy:
No, sorry Sense Hero 1.6.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
afaik the perms don't really matter as long as it is readable. apk's are not executable in a linux-sense of execution, since they are handled by dalvik vm.

for example apps that are pushed via adb or installed via update.zip are owned by root and yet they work.

now it is down to logcat...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lechy:
I double checked, I've installed Instantroot.apk via sense hero 1.6 rom, and it said not required Su is already available??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I was aware they didn't 'execute', but I can't get these files to be seen for some reason. I have also done it with known 'stock' working ones and they still aren't seen. (ie. yesterday on villain 3.3, I used RootExplorer to pop WaveSecure into /system/app and the app never appeared there. I set the permissions, as there was no read access for user, but still nothing. So now I'm trying this with chown as well to make the owner system.system and nothing :(

I think I'll need to check an update-script to see what it does...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hold on... Do apk files need to be signed for them to work in 2.1?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Thank you Nathan

After some testing I have decided to stay with 3.3 (in particular because I use some Java programs that cannot be started with 3.4).

Nevertheless I appreciate your excellent work and have made another (modest) donation as an expression of my gratitude.

Stay tuned with our hero community and continue to bring us your innovative solutions.;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
for sure... why wouldn't they?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I'm really behind here.

I've missed a lot. Anon - if you want to work together on the new legend leak, or anyone else for that matter, PM me.

As for signing apk's... don't sign framework apks, or rosie.apk with test keys, or your build will bootloop.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tristan202:
I put it in the VillianROM 3.3 Fixlist. After all, it has been there since we started using the Eris leak.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Thank you andy.

I may have missed the jbed lib file from the build. It's probably that that's causing the issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
I just cheked and java app fc on me... that's no good... will see if it can be fixed
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
because usually apks are only checked for their signature on install (or so I thought). I thought that's what the 'enable unverified applications' option was about (in settings)???

I'll try signing one and seeing what happens... (by one, I mean something dull like teeter lol)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
if i am not totally wrong the "unverified" means "not from market", and enables you to install .apk's through a file manager on your phone...? i'll check this now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robertmacnair:
Navigation from outside US not working anymore. Maps has reverted back to previous version (with no multitouch etc), and there is no navigation option.

Slight bug in the theme... set up of Facebook and Twitter, when clicking on 'username' field, odd blue border shows up.

Other than those, nothing to complain about so far! Good job that man (plus all the others who have so kindly helped on this forum)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
Confirmed, by flashing the correct libjbedvm.so in /system/lib all is working fine ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
That blue boarder is supposed to be there
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robertmacnair:
OK thanks Lenny, just seems the scaling is a bit off. looks very pixelated and too large for the textbox... but very minor and not an issue.

Retarded question I know, but where can I find radio updates?

Many thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jnejne:
Well it doesn't look intetional at all. In other textforms it looks fine, but here it shure is ugly
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
PM sent. As for signing apks, I understand what you're saying here. Is there any way round this, or are these APKs a no-go for optimisation. If so, is there a list of ones not to touch, or a way round this (ie. another way to sign them...)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
it has just been designed to fit normal text boxes, problem is when its in a large text box :D

This will be my permanent rom till you eventually get an official 2.1 base. On behalf of everybody here i would like to say a great big thank you for all the effort you put in and delivering as PROMISED your best rom yet.

How did you make it work in 3.3? Just do the same and you should be ready to go. I did as in the earlier releases, pushed the edited telephony.db to where it's supposed to be (the mmszap thingie didn't work for me in this release), rebooted and voila; everythings good to go.

I updated the performance test that I posted the day before..

now includes villainrom 3.4 (vs 3.3 vs BeHero 1.3.1)

I didnt want to wipe a lot so I didnt try the latest behero rom

anyway, link: http://mpranj.limun.org/node/25

I find the results funny, 3.4 has some performance improvements that you can actually see, and the rom itself feels nice (probably because of the extremely neat theme)

WELL done nathan and crew :)

I've just pushed the next files from Villain v3.3 and already got the stock theme:

Sorry for the off-topic, but hope Nathan takes note of this and use it in future versions of Villain :D

reboot abd the phone stack on bootscreen (HTC quietly brilliant)

any suggestion

ciao:mad:

Market was a littlebit weird on my phone as well. Had to do a reboot before it worked. Never had to do that before. But it's no biggie. It's a great ROM :)

Edit: I know we're supposed to do a reboot after flashing a ROM, but personally I've never done that before everything is set up as it used to be. This is my first little problem with a Villain ROM. But as I said; No problem

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
I'd say you should restore your nandroid backup for now (you did make one?), or just reflash it without a wipe. The last solution can work as well

never need in the past thats why i pass

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Qwertyip:
Are you sure you have a partition on your SD card?

Edit: Why wouldnt you backup your Phone? =/ That doesnt make much sence.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
First rule of flashing is to always make a backup. But you could always flash another ROM that worked for you before and/or install an official ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gerardo66:
well yes i sure i have partition i coming from modaco with a2sd

how to access to put another rom if i cannot mount the sd card??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I will add the original Sense theme as an update.zip tomorrow.

I just wanted to make Villain stand out from the rest visually :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] folgui:
Perhaps you're using ext4 filesystem that modaco supports.

Villain doesn't support ext4 and perhaps it's looping at boot.

If this if your case, you must re-format your sdcard to ext2-ext3 and then flash Villain again.

Regards, folgui.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
This, unfortunately is true.

2.1 Eris leak roms do not support Ext 4 partition.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] folgui:
It's just a personal opinion but i like notification bar icons and colors of 3.4, and the images that appear when loading something. The only thing i don't like of the new theme is the bottom bar, i prefer stock one, but rest of theme is ok for me.

By the way, good work ;)

Regards, folgui.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gerardo66:
what to use to format ext2-ext3? how?

Exchange isnt working

Great addition to this ROM. I love the sense theme. Wish you could add the lock screen theme as well though!

Only issue so far is registration of exchange account. I can get my specific inputed but when I try to register the account it gives me an error. I have tripled checked my credentials so I beleive this to be an error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Negative. Even after reflashing apk and so I get FC
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] folgui:
If you come from modaco and apps2sd is working you MUST have created an extX partition in your sdcard, otherwise, apps2sd will not work.

To partition sdcard you can use the RA-Recovery (must have!), it's not very difficult. Make sure you do full backup of your sdcard before.
