I waited over 25 minutes - nothing happened. Set up partitions and everything, no luck
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Quistnix:
try the apps2sd fix from post 4, worked wonders for me..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] J-Zeus:
Issues encountered:

- No working Apps2SD

- Occasional FC sense

- Occasional reboots itself ( maybe related to using navigation )

- 'Gridding' on photos ( I've had this awhile not just this release - might be a 2.1 issue )

- When on homepage - if I press menu to get the pop-up menu, the digit '7' is overlaying the word 'settings'.

- Still got GPS issues

- Battery life still short

Other than that - i'm lovin it...:cool:

Can anyone getting the HTC Sense Force Close loop bug add a note to the relevant bug in the Bug Tracker. This makes an excellent ROM completely unusable.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jens.bergqvist:
I just posted the browser issue mentioned earlier to the bug tracker without realizing it had already been reported as a webkit issue. How do I delete the report or mark it as a duplicate?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arshad14:
Already done. It does 'cause I was really liking the peppiness of it. Oh well, back to beta1 until that bug is fixed for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] VenomGBR:
I'm not the only one struggling to get Apps2SD to work then?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tkm89:
Are you using Titanium Backup by any chance to restore your apps? With an earlier version of Villain, I'd get loads of different kind of FCs after restoring my apps.

I tried leaving out any system related backups (also didn't include Google apps, but not sure if that really makes a difference) and I didn't get any FCs anymore (well, not as many as before).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vrmp:
I have read through this whole thread again regarding the bluetooth issue I have and it seems several people are reporting the same thing.

I would really appreciate it if someone would look seriously at this problem.

For some it works and for some it doesn't, maybe it has to do with some of the carkits used, I don't know. I use a Nokia carkit (still from my old phone), which has worked with htc 1.5, htc 2.1 leak, eris 2.1.

Still I think this is an Legend issue for some of us and should be handled like a bug.

All respect to nprussel for his hard work in the excellent rom :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arshad14:
I was doing it the old fashioned way, everything manually and still the problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geoff_allix:
I did a restore with Titanium, but no system stuff, just standard apps. The FC loop occurred several hours after the apps were restored.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marksyzm:
I really am getting nothing from this... it's not booting at all. Did the apps2sd hotfix make your phone boot up /fix this issue?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
I just flashed over 4.0b1 without wiping, worked like a charm. Reapplied the davlik to SD hot fix and I have 144mb free (of 166mb), sense is smooth as warm butter on hot butter, the only things I can find is the "7" button issue, which isn't an issue, and the old GPS issues which wasn't supposed to fixed here anyway.. Peep updates automagically, IMAP email in HTC mail works like a charm... worth updating in my opinion. No hassle.

Running for a couple of hours, no force closes, no random reboots... what are you guys doing to this poor ROM?! :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] an0therus3r:
Having strange issues with beta 2.

After my sense didn't wanted to update for weather information i decided to clear data for HTC Sense but after that it keeps asking me to enter profile name and i'm unable to save it nor cancel it.

Any quick fix before i reflash ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nortynort:
just like to report that villain 4 beta2 has the Tmobile uk G2 touch issue, where the internet constantly stalls on 3G. The villan 3.4 fixed it so its probably something in the legend base. Strange because HTC support said this was a android 1.5 specific issue with this handset.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Killbom:
Im having a problem.

I want the keyboard to be in swedish but the interface to be english, but i cant choose anything exept english in the touch input settings.

But if i choose swedish as my main language the keyboard works fine with typing in swedish :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jens.bergqvist:
Check out this link for a possible solution:

Which issue is this? I just got 1.78 Mbps down on my G2 Touch...

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] D3_:
Battery life is great, played music using Meridian Player Noble at half volume with earphones for over 9 hours straight today! including about 30 mins web browsing over 3g and a few short phone calls too!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nortynort:
there's 3x 20 page threads on this on the official Tmobile forums.

Lowdown is that 3G constantly stalls making internet near unusable nobody is sure what the issue is but HTC has been contacted by several users and said its a 1.5 issue.

And as I said villainrom 3.4 fixes this but it seems to have crept up again with 4.0 beta :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
i flashed the dalvik hot fix but where do i see the difference in memory? sd card and phone storage?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
I have synced my facebook contacts however only the 1st 100 contacts of facebook will sync accross, cant get any further than the letter c.

Also after flashing the nexus edit for Villain4 theme i have lost the graphical errors that have been reported so far.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dolby71:
Same for me. I got 200 contacts synced, got to letter O. the other 100+ didn't.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geoff_allix:
Blimey, how many friends have you got?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nortynort:
and how many do you actually keep in contact with lol
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] VenomGBR:
With all the bugs and problems people are reporting, I wish I'd stuck with 3.4 now :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] an0therus3r:
Reflashing it (without wipe) didn't help either.

Update:

After playing with some settings for Scene etc which didn't helped i pushed the home button so i would get all screens to select from. After selecting homescreen that annoying scene name screen disappeared.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nortynort:
easy enough to do a restore with nandroid?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
I flashed this rom this morning, and it was working very well, except my apps and the market wasn't working.

I had backed up my data, apps and their data wit MyBackup Pro,

the 1st time, i restored the data, apps with their data, and the apps all force closed, and the market force closed whenever i tried to download something from it.

the 2nd time, i restored the data, and the apps without their data. The apps worked fine, but i still got force closes with the market.

Has anyone else had this issue?

other then that, the rom is very nice :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] VenomGBR:
Most of the work reloading my phone is getting all the apps back on it. Doing a Nandroid won't bring all my apps back will it :P

I have 60+ apps, and I haven't found a backup solution as of yet that restores reliably.

Titanium backup (Free version) reloads apps one by one, that takes AGES.

MybackupPro restores apps, but 90% of them FC on open.

Any other solution?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
lol, the 1st 100 fb contacts will show only, not phone contacts, ive only 150 phone contacts however due to fb only showing the 1st 100 it onbly goes to the letter c

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geoff_allix:
Nandroid brings everything back. I've gone back to Modaco 3.2 until this all gets resolved. All apps working fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timmy1980:
I am a 32A magic user but had this same issue with the ported Villain 3.4 using MyBackup Pro, instead I used astro to browse the zip file created by MyBackup Pro and installed my apps one by one. Bit of a pain but no different really from the older versions of MyBackup pro. After doing this I got no FC's with market installs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
Ok, i was thinking of doing that but i couldnt be bothered at the time, i may try this.

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nortynort:
haven't had the need to do a nandroid backup but it was my understanding that it takes a "snapshot" of your system much like System Restore of windows? All your apps should be retained.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
Can't say I've ever had this issue, not even with the old 1.76 stock ROM. If it's a 1.5 issue then I can't see how it would appear in a legend ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
Wow, I flashed this and I originally had 95mb out of 165mb used up, now I have 25mb out of 165mb used up!! Thanks der_bert.

(I do have Apps2sd ext3 and did not wipe from beta 1 and have not had any issues apart from battery life, which I think maybe fixed after changing the radio)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] krypta:
try this

- delete the facebook for sence account

- restart

- add the facebook account again

with this way it worked 4 me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
P.S. - I know I have mentioned it a few times but no one has responded - can we have ringtone trimmer back please? can't find it in market nor androlib anymore.

P.P.S. Also has the change a phone contact to a google contact been fixed yet? I don't want to stick 576 numbers onto my phone again and have them not sync with google. too many conflicts. (I can get google to merge contacts afterwards).

.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Killbom:
Thank you, works like a charm :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drygmasken:
Since it didn't work with this fix for me, any other sugestions?

Do I need a ext to move dalvik to sd? I don't use apps2sd.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] der_bert:
i don't understand. if you don't use aps2sd, this is not relevant for you:

you only need a ext2 or ext3 partition to use aps2sd.

if you don't use aps2sd, you don't need a ext partition or the mentioned hotfix.

but then all your apps are stored in phone memory (which reduces phone memory)

no aps2sd, no fix
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdgut:
Well that sounds a little random don't you think?

If a server doesn't have a load on it, then it won't have a high cpu usage either..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nortynort:
well im not making it up if thats what you're suggesting lol. nor do i have the time to fabricate hundreds of posts on the tmob forum
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
lol. Well, based on the number of people who appeared to be downloading from it, I was pretty amazed at how it kept the speed up. I was ssh'd into it, and still able to upload it to the US mirror at about 1 MegaByte/second (8 megabits/second)

But yeah, I thought 1.5% was pretty low for the number of people connected :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] leinad:
In order to have APP2SD on, you'll need an EXT2 (or ETX3) partition on your SD card.

In addition, you may also want to have the dalvik-cache moved on the SD card ; in that case, by using the proposed fix, you'll get it.

At the end of the day, if you use the following adb commands

adb shell
cd data
ls -l

you'll see something like that

lrwxrwxrwx root root 2010-03-23 15:59 dalvik-cache -> /system/sd/dalvik-cache
-rw-r--r-- root root 73669 2010-03-23 11:38 fix_permissions.log
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2010-03-22 08:49 app-private -> /system/sd/app-private

drwxrwx--t system misc 2010-03-23 18:45 misc
drwxrwx--- root root 2010-03-22 08:49 lost+found

What ensures APP2SD is working are the three following lines

lrwxrwxrwx root root 2010-03-23 15:59 dalvik-cache -> /system/sd/dalvik-cache
...
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2010-03-22 08:49 app-private -> /system/sd/app-private
...
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2010-03-23 11:38 app -> /system/sd/app
...

They state that a logical link is set-up between

"/data/dalvik-cache" directory in the main memory and "/system/sd/dalvik-cache" on the SD,

"/data/app-private" directory in the main memory and "/system/sd/app-private" on the SD,

"/data/app" directory in the main memory and "/system/sd/app" on the SD.

In this way, when the OS is looking for some data in one of these three directories (supposed to be in the main memory), it finds it in the corresponding directory on the SD.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drygmasken:
In my first post I asked why I only have 55mb free.

In 3.4 i had about 100-120mb free, not using apps2sd.

Changed to 4 beta 1 with full wipe and then only got 55mb. Flashed Beta 2 without wipe and still 55mb free.

You replied to me to use the move dalvik to sd fix. But that didn't work, so that's why I just wondered if that's because I don't have a ext partition :)

Maybe you missed my original question.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] der_bert:
oh, sorry, i really missed that.

what's interesting, i have 120 mb with aps2sd, using ~50 apps. which amounts to the memory you had on 3.4 without aps2sd.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drygmasken:
Thank you for this info. Maybe I should start using this. Is there any other advantages more than maybe more space?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Leeejohn:
Small Issue

I saw a small issue when downloading from the market.

When you start a download, u can see the progressbar.

But within the market the progressbar doesnt work. (Real-time)

Within android the progressbar works fine.

Sorry, dont have a better explaination :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drygmasken:
I think I had about 100mb free when using 3.4. And I had maybe about 35 apps. Or maybe I'm just confused :p

Could go back with nandroid to check. Could be interesting maybe.

*Edit Went back to Villain3.4 103mb free space. And again back to Villain4 beta 2 only 55mb free space even if I have less apps in Villain4

Any ideas!?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
i still have a problem with the apn settings. I installed apn back up and restore, deleted the apns, then restores them from the apn settings. When i went back in it crashed again with a fc and i still cant send any mms's.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] samadhi23:
do you release the beta2 with the 3.4 theme???? i love this theme .. sick of the original theme :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shade89:
sweeterhome.com/projects/sh2/wiki - Sweeter Home 2 public beta.

Legal, works good on Villain 4 Beta2. I've used it for a day now and I've found no problems. You can change almost anything with this one.

I've followed Villain for a long time now and I thought maybe it's time to contribute in some way haha.. this is my first post and I want to say thanks to everyone who made this ROM possible.

//Jeff McGillis Heiden aka "Shade_" & IRL "Manglarn" ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Quistnix:
I'm completely loving this rom, but there's one major snag: starting the browser brings the speed from awesomely fast to almost unusably laggy. Real bummer, since I use the browser a lot of the time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] torespen:
Proxy?

Any support yet for proxy servers?

Or is there any "backdoors" to get it to work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dan_q8:
Crash report

Hi

Just need to report a problem I've had both with Villain 4 Beta 1 and 2.

I'm guessing it may be to do with the latest update for Locale, but I may be wrong.

With both builds, soon after installing and setting up a few locale conditions, my hero froze solid, couldn't even reboot. so after taking the battery out and putting it back in again, it froze with in a minute of rebooting.

In all cases of the hero freezing the trackball light was glowing about once per second.

Only way I could find to get back was to do a factory reset.

I'm quite happy to post all the programs I was using, if more people are having this issue, to see if we can find a common setting / program that is causing this?

Cheers

Dan.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mcduck1:
Cant speak for proxy servers, but VPN connections work fine!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdgut:
And for my final statement as to the apparent will to still move villain to some other site.

Forcing people to register/login to post bugs will only work in a limited way.

Alot of people won't bother with registering (I won't) which is the general internet idea you see with alot of other communities.

It's been proven that people are prone to just stop making an effort if they are stopped in their tracks (by a registration form for example).

You can see the same thing happening to htcpedia.

They're almost the same as xda-developers but they don't and won't get the same userbase.

Simply because people don't like signing up for multiple sites for the same purpose.

Now you don't have to believe me but I'm telling you that it's not worth the effort or power you gain from this.

I like this rom but if it moves entirely to that other website and requires you to register before you can download it then the chances of me still going there are going to be slim.

I do think nprussel is doing a good job and I don't know what his stance on all this is.

But keep it up, you're well on your way to making the best ROM in the Hero community which has long been dominated by Modaco (which isn't showing any activity right now for the Hero)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arshad14:
Out of curiosity, those who got the HTC Sense FC, did you guys have Handscent too, or did it go through the FC before you even installed that app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Just to clarify the reasons for the new forum/bugtracker. We've been reaching the limitations of what we can do on xda-dev (in terms of permissions etc.) For example, when Nathan was away, no-one was able to edit the first post to add in the fix which he agreed should be uploaded as a hotfix.

It's nothing to do with 'power' or anything like that. More for operational reasons. I mean, what's going to be done differently from here? No-one's got time to be faffing about exerting this 'power', and they shouldn't have to, since there's no real issue over here with this. I don't think this will change, as we're all to busy working on the important bit (the ROM :))

But I'm sure you will agree that the big threads get unwieldy, and that it's pretty hard to find anything in @750 pages of posts (for the old thread), or ~80 pages in this new thread that's only been out for a few days...

Also, just to let you know that there will not be a need to register to view the forum, and it will be open for public viewing and using the links. We wouldn't plan to shut people out just because they didn't register.

The main reason for the servers is actually so we can host fast mirrors and rely less on free file sharing sites, which are slow and a nuisance if you live in a 'restrictive' country that blocks them...

My closing remark would be that the bugtracker is already working well, with 23 issues reported in a day, and some good dialog between people which would possibly get lost in a big forum thread.

But everyone's entitled to an opinion on this, and it's an issue that everyone's facing. What I will say is that there are some exciting things being worked on just now, which require the website, but which will definitely outweigh the benefits. Not saying anything just now though :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tkm89:
Agreed. I understand the need to register on a forum to post comments etc. However, no registration should be required for the bug tracking form. This will result in more response from the users, which will eliminate more bugs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I am taking this on board. I will look at the software and see if login can be disabled. Or, I may take out a general account like 'villain' and password 'rom' and post that on the homepage... I'll have a look later, as I do see a point here.

The forum does definitely require registration though (for obvious reasons like PMs and potential for spam since it's in the google index now)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK. It does support anonymous access, and I will be enabling this some time real soon... :)

Thanks for the feedback. Obviously, if there are any issues, I will have to disable it, but hopefully nothing will happen.

EDIT: hmm. we've already got 98 accounts registered on the bug tracker. Any opinions on this folks? Do you think it would be beneficial to have non-registered access? Obviously you'll still be able to log in if you desire...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK. You can now login anonymously by clicking the link at the upper right of the login form. Bugs can be reported and browsed.

Thanks for the feedback guys. If you've registered, you can keep using your account as normal. This is only for people who don't want to register...

EDIT: sorry for the triple-post. Just realised I've been 'quoting' and not editing :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pittek:
Imho dont let unregistered users post there. You will get a lot of spam.

And if ppl are really interested in contributing they will not be stopped by a simple registration...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Well, I'll leave it open for a day, and see. If it gets spammed, it will be locked down immediately, and I'll clear it out. If anyone does see it get spammed, PM me at once and I'll shut off anon login for posting...

But, we'll see, and we'll give it a shot. But any spam and I will need to close unregistered access, at least for posting.

Or should I just make anon for viewing? Opinions please folks...
