Similar bug with NewsRob widget.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
Resigning the apk made it install, but it still has the rotation bug.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] svoegel:
Just flashed the rosie update and have the sense FC issue again ! :(

I didn't install Handcent.

Just before, I added Youtube and HTC Search widgets ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] R16:
Hi guys,

I would like to install this rom, but i have a question.

I upload videos in 3GP format to picasa but can't play them. Can I change the format of the recorder?

look:

Hey, may i direct someone's attention to my post on the old thread? Im still using 3.4, and i have an emergency with mms.

It's been nearly an hour and the thread view count hasnt even gone up, i suspect everyone is here.

I fear that if i change rom i'm going to loose the pictures all together. Chomp is tying to retrieve them.

Fix

nprussel,

I've got a big problem when installing the fix (VillainROM4.0RosieFix.zip). I renamed it to update.zip and installed the fix. After that i rebooted the Hero.

HTC Sense doesn't start anymore. Everything worked before installing the fix :(. I did restore a backup to VillainRom 3.4 now, but dont know if i have the install the Beta 2 with the fix again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrtoken:
maybe it has something to do with widgets and the sense speed fix that was done between beta 1 and beta 2.

The phone worked fine for a couple of hours before i started to install the widgets, as soon as i did that (handcent being the last) is when i got the problem, Nathan may need to look at the speed fix
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrtoken:
Join the club, there are a number of us with this problem, i am thinking it has something to do with the speed fix from beta1 to beta2 which effects the widgets of some users (which makes sense force crash into endless loop).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Leeejohn:
Yeah, hope there is a fix soon for this :) I'll do a donations when there is a good release :D Great rom :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrtoken:
I do find it a little interesting however how yours only stop working after the rosiefix was added, that fix should only correct graphical glitches (settings picture etc) and remove that dumb save scene, maybe its the mapping to the images files that are stuffed and scene can't call something and crashes
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
Did you try a wipe before applying the fix?

And a logcat would be good.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Leeejohn:
Why Wipe first? Its only a fix not a rom. When i wipe i 'format' all?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aziz831:
I have been switching between ROMS for the past couple days, can't decide which one to stick to...but I noticed with this ROM i still get the wrong time stamp on the SMS messages, and also the Music player doesn't play .wmv files.

In one of the other ROMs I tried I didnt have these issues...can't recall which one it was. :o

Just wondering if others using the Villian ROM have similiar issues?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mantrajt:
I also have this problem, and what is more to say, it also happens to me in Gtalk, so my chat is all messed up instead of threaded....!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I've not heard of the SMS timestamp issues. Could you post it on the bugtracker at www.villainrom.co.uk/bug ? That way, we can see if anyone can confirm it.

I (embarrasingly) haven't even downloaded 4beta2 yet (I've pushed it across servers, but not actually looked at it yet as I'm too busy with other things this week... So I can't help, but I've not heard of the wmv issue either. Please report these on the tracker if you have time, as it will be much appreciated...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
Why playing wmv's in HTC Music player, anyway?? Seems like the wrong tool for the job to me!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Leeejohn:
Another Small bug

Everythime I did reboot my phone I receive the same 'Missed Call'.

When I delete the message and reboot, it will appaer again.

Its the same missed call on the same moment (22 march).

I use windows media player to sync my music with my Hero...and for some reason it converts some files to wmv as it transfers them to my phone and leaves others as mp3...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Okay - for anyone having Sense FC... hang fire.

I cannot seem to replicate this.

Did you full wipe before installing?

I NEED to replicate this before I can fix it. I have made some additional changes to Rosie which may fix it in the upcoming Beta 3...

It might be a play by ear situation. I'm going to have to guess... which I don't like.

It's impossible to fix something that simply isn't a problem for me. I've not had a single FC of Sense on this rom, with or without widgets.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
Anyone else having problems with the phone not sleeping?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Snepscheut:
Hesitate to ask........ but......... any ata on beta3?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] an0therus3r:
I can't reproduce it also, maybe it's a setting or some app those users have ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skiff200:
Confused, i dont have handsent widget
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Too51oll:
Coz its not Handcent widget. Ive just put it on my screen even texted myself to test it, restarted phone twice and no, no FC
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrtoken:
thats what stuffed it up for me however, working fine until i put that on it and rebooted, it seems to be different for everyone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] VenomGBR:
I have to say, I got the FC error too, Now on another rom because of it. I did have Handcent installed.

Theres two different ways to put Handcent on your home screen. Theres a shortcut to the app, or the widget. The widget simply has smaller lettering that fits the name of the app in the shortcut properly.

I was using THAT widget. I assume that is what is causing it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Too51oll:
I got a WIDGET on my screen and it doesnt cause FC

well it doesnt for me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] VenomGBR:
Have you reset since? It started when I reset my phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Too51oll:
Restarted my phone twice. Ill do it now with unread message to try. Iam really trying to FC sence :D but same as Nathan I simply cannot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrtoken:
And i hate you a little more for that LOL :)

I just think that beta2 is really picky who its friends are LOL
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zulle:
Just guessing here but you didn't happen to restore handcent (and messages) with for example Titanium backup or something similar after a wipe and flashing the beta2??

I remember when using BeHero (and a few other roms) a while back a few apps including handcent kept giving me FCs (on sense too) when restoring them but the issue went away when I manualy downloaded and instaled them from Market...

as I said only a guess but still =)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kevinlow:
i don have any problem with any handcent widget at all..the rom is running smooth for me for the time being..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Too51oll:
Yup, you must be right about it coz my try has no success. NO FC..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] VenomGBR:
I did infact try to restore all my apps with Titanium backup. Most if not all of them FC'd on open. I uninstalled all those which FC'd, I guess it just messed up the entire rom anyway.

I've since found a MUCH better way to restore apps with no FC's. (Using Android Commander) < Can be found on the forum, under themes and apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrtoken:
Well tonight if i have time i will save my restores off my sd card, do a full wipe of everything including SD card (which is a new one from yesterday) and install clean again, then download apps from market
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Too51oll:
I always do download them from market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mantrajt:
Can any one help me with super user, it just shows a black screen, I read something about debugging but sometime ago I disable it and now I don´t know how to enable it again.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sunstorm:
LOL,

I was wondering how long it was going to be before somebody raise this topic of Handcent not FC on villian 4.0 beta 2.

I have done the isolation process on my apps 1 by 1 and i finally found the widget causing the FC. it is the vanilla

google search bar

. try it for those asking for a sense FC.

I think the voice integration with the search bar did not go well and caused these crashes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mantrajt:
Thanks for the debug answer.!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
I don't know about that, it's working fine for me. When do you get the FC?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jayzy1:
trying to run CoPilot Live (satNav) and keep getting the following error:

Invalid Library

CoPilots code cannnot be loaded by the system

then closes down.

Use to work fine before this update

any ideas??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
You need to update to the latest version of CoPilot (version 8.0.0.606).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Too51oll:
CoPilot works for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] VenomGBR:
It could be that! You mean the search widget thats white, with a search button, and the voice button?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BlueHawk:
Finally got around to installing. I nearly gave up on it. After install it was so slow using it (before the first reboot). Rebooted it. On the first reboot the system hung at phone lock screen and wouldn't respond to anything. Got in via ADB but reallly slow - CPU didn't seem to be plagued with anything though checking with "top". Rebooted again from shell. Same thing at restart - hung at phone lock screen. On the third time - finally made it through. Everything was then much faster (and yes, I did clear all data and SD card before installing the ROM).

I found I couldn't move dalvik-cache to SD card. Keeps recreating it in ROM - maybe too slow or switch to SD is too late (after dalvik-cache is actually needed)? Not sure why otherwise.

Also HTC applications from the market (like Battery) won't run - the pedigree of this ROM is Legend and those applications expect a Hero or an Eris ROM.

Battery does seem to be brilliant though compared to the 3.4. We'll see in the coming days.

Nice ROM. :)

Fixed dalvik-cache problem by applying the patch (rather than manually creating the link - which worked in the MCR builds).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Too51oll:
Just tested that wigdet and doesnt give me FC. Sorry guys ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] VenomGBR:
Could you try overclock widget and autokiller?

If you dont use those already?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrtoken:
did you reboot, i am just flashing again, will nut it out one by one, i did have the google bar at one stage.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrtoken:
I can confirm this, clean install, boots fine, as soon as i put the google search bar on main home page it crashes (after reboot)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sunstorm:
I just retested after I updated with HomerSP's update.zip just incase this will fix the issue with the vanilla google search bar FC but it didn't. So at least for me, this is an outstanding issue.

I have autokiller, overclock widget & spare parts installed and running. My first few guesses for the causes of the Sense FC was the 3 above :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrtoken:
well sunstorm looks like you were right, happen after i rebooted with google search widget,

I will look over my other ones now, but i think i do remember putting the google search on just before handcent went on and then rebooted (which made me think it was handcent)

good work :) gold star for you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
Looks like you were right, it is the Google Search widget. Here's the fix anyway, it also has my other Rosie fixes.

EDIT: Woops, forgot to sign the update package (it's 5AM here) :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrtoken:
I got a fault error on this file
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
Try it now :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrtoken:
cheers will do it a bit later :) need food
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arshad14:
Bingo, it's definitely the Google Search. After not installing the widget and restarting it multiple times, it works just fine. I'm gonna do a nandroid backup and try implementing the new Google Search fix and see if it helps.

Edit: Here's an update guys, I have both the Handcent SMS Widget, Overclock Widget, Autokiller2, AND the Google Search and implemented HomerSp's fix and it works wonderfully. I have not had any FC's yet but it's only been a few hours. I have also implemented Nathan's Rosie fix right before that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sunstorm:
Hi HomerSP,

great work and fix is confirmed to be working for me.

cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrtoken:
installing it now, just doing a back up
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] simonsupakru:
Full wipe

Hello,

I have a question,

When you said "full wipe" does it means "wipe data/factory reset" ?

Or also Wipe Dalvik-cache, ext partition, battery stats, rotate settings ?

Thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrtoken:
Can confirm the fix is working, installed the google search bar, rebooted and it is still working fine :)

thank you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrtoken:
Means wipe data/factory reset,

I do Data/factory reset, Dalvik, Battery stats.

Sometimes do a ext partition (if you have apps2sd installed) when doing a major jump from firmware i.e. from 3.4 to 4 beta
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
When you wipe EXT, wat happen to all the apps in there ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrtoken:
they will get deleted you will have to install again from market
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] moleculezz:
SU Request

When I open some applications or settings I get a black screen with title SU Request and it hangs there for a while and then FC. I happened couple of times when I launched My Backup Pro, ASTRO File Manager, Autokiller and When I switched usb connection settings from Charge to Disk
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
If I wipe SD:EXT partition, does it mean my main SD partition get delete or just the APP2SD partition ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] opa0opa:
I think root access is lost by wiping the card.

You need to re-root (at least this is what I did to get rid of that black screen)

Phone do not sleep

Hi Homer,

It looks to me that if you turn the Phone on with GPS enabled it wont go to sleep and if you turn of GPS, reboot the phone GPS will not work correctly but the phone go to sleep :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tony28:
Hey guys, one question ?

What was the last villainrom on which the gps was working fine ? ;)

I have installed beta 2, but on saturday i will need gps working, then i need to install an old rom .

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Tony,

It does work fine.

Turn GPS on in settings, turn the phone off, then turn the phone back on.

It took me from Sheffield to Ipswich (200 Miles) successfully on Saturday last week.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tony28:
Thanks nathan for your reply, but each time i need to turn on or off the gps and shut down the phone ?

It is strange cause i did this, and i don't have the impression that it is working. How could i check Nathan ?

Regards

Tony

P.S: Thanks a lot for your great jobs :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cyberden:
I can confirm that. I'm crossing my fingers to see a fix in beta3, that's the major issue of this rom as far as I'm concerned.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
You can download "GPS Status". I always use that to check.

It'll show you # of satellites it detected.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] leinad:
Just do Settings>Applications>Development, and then, tick "USB debug"

Next time, the screen will not be black anymore, but will ask you wether you wish to "Allow", "Always allow", "Deny" or "Always deny" SU for the requesting app ...

PS : Already mentionned a thousand time within this thread, and also, in the bug tracker :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jeremy89632:
Most of the issues which is mentioned, including the GPS fix, is highlighted a tremendous number of times in the bug tracker.

Thanks.

I ll try that ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skiff200:
re-flashed rom and rebooted with Google Search bar to check that this widget was causing the Sense FC - Check

Flashed your update in order to fix - Check

Fully working Rom - Check

Thank you very much! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
you were in Ipswich? Should have told me only 20 minutes away :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:

VillainROM 4Beta first impression

I've been using this new rom done by the great Nathan with the help of his peers, one of who is anon2122 in this forum and this is what I have to say...

AMAZING ROM!!! I haven't come across any problems or FC or other hickups yet. It is very stable and is quite improved over Benham's Legend Alpha 'cause this one support OpenGL and runs everything as it should.

I don't find Rosie that slow either, maybe a tad bit, but if you waiting for Nathan to fix that in the next few days then that's up to you but I don't see why that should hold you back 'cause it really isn't bad at all.

Everything is very fluid, just pulling up the Menu can be jittery at times but nothing intolerable either. Push E-mail and Exchange works, and so does App2SD with anon2122's new fix. All the widgets work great as well. ;)

Again, thanks to the amazing VillainROM team with some amazing fast ROMs one after the other.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Good to hear it works for you :) It's a good ROM, easily better than the custom one I was running, so I've flashed this myself now...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arshad14:
@anon2122 Is it possible to get the 'proximity sensor' apk back on this ROM? That did a very good job in 3.3 and can be very useful on the Hero even though it doesn't work 100% of the time but at least works 90% of the time. :)

Edit: Nevermind, I found it in the Market. Didn't know it was available in the market before, haha...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drygmasken:
Runs just fine here too. No probs so far. A little speed tweaking will do good thou.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phanes:
First impression is, very nice!

It is running stable and quiet. I am now loading my device, lets see how the battery will look after 24-48 hours.

I removed the following from the ROM:

Mail, Foot, teet, Twit, HtcSoundRecorder, HtcRingtoneTimmer, Bluetooth, Calculator, FriendStreamWidget, htcbookmarkwidget, Facebook, Flickr, FriendStream, htcmailwidgets, htcmsgwidgets ... maybe a few more, so far no FC

tristan202´s bios2.1.zip does not work also nexus-edit.zip does not work (if somebody could look into it, I like that style)

4.0BETA feels equal to 3.4. I like it, keep going Nathan! Well done!

EDIT: almost forgot JBED IS WORKING :D !!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LeAdReW:
any way to launch launcher2 or live wallpapers with this rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Sure. Here's an untested update.zip. I'd do a nandroid if you're the first person to use it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J-Zeus:
Couple of observations:

Market remembers almost none of my apps in Downloads.

And I cant see any of my photos - Albums is missing ( shame ) - and 3D Gallery can't find my photos:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] awryter:
Is this just as easy as going into adb and rming all the .apks you don't want, or does it require more than that?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phanes:
@awryter

you should know which app you can remove and which one you should not remove. if you remove the wrong app, you have to push the file back to the ROM or install the ROM again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J-Zeus:
anon2122 - sorry if I'm being dim, but how do you get your app2sd fix to work - I copied it to SD, and flashed the re-boot...but bot working:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Strange... It's worked for plenty of others :confused:

Have you tried the ls commands mentioned a page or 2 ago to check it is definitely not working? You've done what should be done with the file, so it's not that...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phanes:
@J-Zeus

did you wipe before flashing again? forgot that too and had same issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yes. Remember to wipe as normal...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fatefearfighter:
Just to confirm something: before I installed this ROM I did a full wipe and cleaned out my SD-card. I just used Quick System Info. It says "A2SD Storage Total: 457MB, Free: 421MB. This means it is working, right?

So far zero (0) problems with this ROM, great features. Not nearly as slow as I expected it to be, good job at lowering expectations on this end :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] salahag:
I flashed the a2sd hotfix and made sure apps and apps-priv have the system/sd paths. But the available Rom space still keeps decreasing anyway. I installed google earth to test, and it dropped by about 20MB.

I ran the Move apps and dalvik-cache to SD in the boot menu and that made no difference either.

I've heard that ext partition should be before the Swap partition in order for it to work?

Edit: The Quick System Info Application also shows I have of A2SD Storage, Total: 0.89GB, Free: 766MB ... Does this mean some parts of the installed apps have to be installed on the phone memory?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I don't know about the partition order, but this ROM doesn't make use of swap. If you're in doubt, back up everything on the card and format it using AmonRA. That is known to work...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Keefo:
Great Rom!!

no problems at all, running nice and smooth and not as slow as i was expecting.

Even fixed my MMS problems i was having with 3.4! WOOP!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] holywood:
Hi guys, i have to disagree with some people saying that speed of beta 4 is close to this of 3.4 ;) but that's what was said before, so it was no surprise, and i think if your not a speed freak, it's ok for now.. still, waiting for Nathan's optimizations :)

One question i have is concerning mms messages, is it still necessary to use mmszap? From what i see it was included in the rom, but i thought it was suppose to deal with the problem that existed on eris dump based roms, with it's roots in it being cdma dump? Is there anything wrong with mms support on the latest legend rom as well?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drygmasken:
Still no ideas on the internal memory loss going from 3.4 to 4 beta?

Subject was: had 100mb free in 3.4 but only 50mb in 4 beta. Full wipe and never used apps2sd.
