Haven't tried with BETA 2 as with BETA 1 it completely smegged up the system and I had to reflash, was hoping someone with more knowledge might make an update.zip or something like that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tofrost:
when i hit "menu" in the bottom right corner there is a "7" over "settings" ... has this anything to do with the number of homescreens? Is there a possibility to change the number of homescreens?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sik_gerar:
I come from mcr 3.1, and i have tested both VR 4.0 and 4.0b2. I didnt wipe my ext. but I did wipe both dalvik and the basic.

so far, none with the hotfixes or the beta 2 I managed to get a2sd working, neither dalvik2sd.

want some log?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jeremy89632:
Sure, put them in the bug tracker.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
Anyone know what the mmsZap is called i.e. the exact spelling of it,because all searches for it are case sensitive. is it MMSZap, mmsZap or what? I've tried a few combination, but can't be sure I've missed it if I don't know the case.

#

-Edit: Scratch the request - had to search for it some other way and found it - if anyone is interested it is "MmsZap.apk"

located here:

./sdcard/MmsZap.apk

./system/sd/app/MmsZap.apk
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
Just do a Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > MMSZAP

Uninstall that will do
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jeremy89632:
If that worked, please update a suggested fix in bug tracker.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fatefearfighter:
hehe no, don't think so.

I suspect nprussell replaced all images he wasn't sure of with 'numbered images', so it became much easier to find out which image is being used at what position in the user interface. After that, it is much easier to 'repair' interface glitches. Just my guess ofcourse.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jens.bergqvist:
That's what I thought initially, but I'm not sure anymore. The same behaviour persists if I set User Agent String to iPhone in debug mode. Besides isn't the resolution of the Legend screen the same as the Hero screen (320 X 480)?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kolaf:
I just flashed beta 2, and I am also having trouble entering APN settings. I get a force close, same as many other people in this thread. This is definitely a dealbreaker for me. Possible solutions are either fixing this, or including settings for my operator in the release (Ventelo Norway)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Don't worry. Not forgotten about you!

I've spotted one little issue with themes, but I think I can get past it. It seems that themes are completely new apk files, and Nathan has gone to some effort to optimise these so far. I can do some of the optimisation myself, but I haven't got full details of the optimisations yet.

If you post me a link to the theme you want, I'll give you a 'test' release to try... No guarantees, and nandroid first.

EDIT: Scratch that. Got your earlier link... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fatefearfighter:
Hi, i'm fairly new to all this Android-stuff. Just baked this new ROM on my Hero, looks awesome.

How do you remove stock apk's?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phanes:
@fatefearfighter

... are you familiar with adb?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DMzda:
About bug tracking:

Wouldn't it be easier to just set up a google code page? That way you can also host the ROM and any fixes/themes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fatefearfighter:
no, i'm afraid not. If that ends the discussion, well ok then. I'll need to investigate the devkit tools ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Has anyone released what you're after in a legend ROM? Just as I'm not a themer (more a dev) and from what I gather, I need to replace APK files with themed ones. I'm not familiar with the process, but I think we would lose Nathan's work, unless someone fancied going through the entire apk, copying each PNG across one by one.

Anyone got any suggestions or ideas. The requester is after an expresso UI. As for lockscreen, I believe you can lose the default HTC one by adb shell rm ing the lockscreen.apk file...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
We're getting a proper website, hopefully tonight :) With a domain name and some stuff on it. Fingers crossed.

It may also have a bugtracker on it to save using the forum for this...

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] der_bert:
well i'm just reflashing villain 4 as i could't boot up after flashing the hotfix.

it just stopped at the hero screen.

dou you have any idea what might have gone wrong?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] piotrreq:
Hmmm - I have working a2sd without Your hotfix...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] der_bert:
@anon2122

hmm, even reflashing villain4 doen't help, still stuck on boot screen

wiping ext partition didn't help neither.

do i have to wipe completely (woul be great if i could avoid that, don't want to install & set up everything again)?

nevertheless, thanks for all the good work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK. I have removed the hotfix for the moment.

Now, could someone with a bootloop connect the phone to the PC and type 'adb logcat' and post their logcat so I can see what went wrong...

I've run my own build from this base, and had A2SD with no troubles, so I'm not sure what's going on here, but there does appear to be a missing file in /system/xbin... I am going to nandroid and move off my own build and onto this one to try and help...

Logcats appreciated :)

While I try and fix this, I'm going to put off themes for the moment... I've looked a bit, but not figured how I'm gonna do them. I've not seen anyone theme a legend ROM yet AFAIK, but if anyone has, and copies the APKs across, they can see if it works... I'm going to try and fix this bootloop first though...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] der_bert:
sorry,

i won't be able to provide a logcat as i just restored my nandroid backup as i need the phone.

could somebody else please provide the logcat?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phanes:
@anon2122

I will set up my device an make a nandroid. After that I will flash the hotfix again and try to provide the logcat. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I'm about to flash the new ROM.

I've just realised what I think is wrong:

- Nathan has made the rom with what appears to be the script 'a2sd' in /system/xbin missing.

- It was like this in Benocharm's ROM, so this is just a little 'accident'

- When the system boots for the first time, all the apps and dex files in the dalvik cache go across to the SD (if a2sd works)

- If this doesn't happen (ie. no a2sd file), then the stuff stays where it is.

- But after that first boot, it will not run that 'moving' script again, so the system goes to /sd/whatever for the dalvik stuff, but it's not moved there, causing files to not be found, and bootloop to ensue :(

So, I think anyone with trouble with this should (if they have time and a nandroid) try a full wipe with dalvik and data etc, then putting in Villain4.0 again, and immediately installing the hotfix (ie. before any reboots).

That should get the problem solved. I'm about to try this myself, and check A2SD works...

Logcats still appreciated...

MarketEnabler

I have problems with MarketEnabler (3.08). Was able to run it once, but after a Restore I'm not able to run it again, just FC.

Now it start working again. Do not know how many times I have traid.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dcmedia:
I have have do this and also reboot - did not help. Do you have another idea?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jeremy89632:
Please search the thread or use the bug tracker for solutions:

http://www.villainrom.co.uk/bug/

Anyway, you must use WiFi and use the app call APN Backup and Restore and delete all the APN settings from that app so you can key in your own network settings.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Whilst your logic is incredibly sound, unfortunately this is not the case.

The problem lies much deeper than this. The problem lies in launcher.smali iirc, and whilst it IS possible to fix the problem in there, doing so causes Sense to FC.

I'm yet to discover whether the problem can be fixed using another method...

You've possibly noticed that it's calling the dialler buttons. If I delete that button, the chances are it'll go missing from the dialler.

See my dilemma?

I just have a lot of looking through image files to do.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
Hehe, we run a full fledged Linux shop here, I wouldn't have it any other way.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] trip hazard:
Just thought I'd write back and confirm that wiping the EXT partition from the SD Card seemed to do the job and I now have Beta2 up and running. Thanks a lot Riddick.

For anyone else reading this, the issue I had was the phone staying on the Quietly Brilliant screen permanently (even over night) after flashing. Wiping my EXT partition fixed this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sedinix:

Just wanted to say that I can't get HTC Sync to work either. The phone doesn't see the HTC Sync on my Win 7.. Great ROM otherwise!

@nprussel - can you put on ringtone trimmer please? Can't find it in the market.

I'll report back later if the mmszap removal has helped my battery life (it was dropping like a stone earlier.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] an0therus3r:
I see several messages about mmszap?

Why is it even on the ROM?

I understand why it was needed for Eris basd ROMS but with the Legend i totaly have no problems sending and recieving mms so why need mmszap anyway?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
Did you run the apps2sd fix on the villain wiki?

I'm not sure it is the dialler button (unless i'm missing something). The image over settings is a dialler sized button with the 7 dead center. The dialler button has the 7 towards the top with 'PQRS' displayed underneath.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Rui-Cruz:
I`m not sure , but I flashed without wipe and that gave me low memory. then used the "move dalvik to SD fiks" from Pulser for beta 1 and got all memory back. Maybe flash with wipe means App2sd works fine, while flashing without wipe something is still stuck from previous.?. Anyway, works fine now with the fix, but thinking I might do a full wipe after all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eujene:
anybody tried internet connect sharing on latest beta? Cannot get mine to work... "no internet access" says my laptop
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] der_bert:

oh, btw : FANTASTIC ROM!

Also, the villainrom wiki is now at http://www.villainrom.co.uk/wiki, and can be set up by anyone wanting to help out.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] der_bert:
ok, that did the trick! memory went up to 120 mb (from 50). thank you very much.

funny, though. as i said, the symlinks were showing up correctly.

so for anybody who came from beta1 without a wipe and didn't apply the Move Dalvik-Cache to Apps2SD Partition hotfix, i suggest you do it now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Keefo:
hmm ok, i gave my hero a fill wipe when i reflashed to the Beta2

and if i got to Linda's task manager and press performance it says i only have 30mb free...

I take it this is low haha ?

:EDIT:

after a reboot of my phone i now have 70mb free memory.

whats considered low?

:edit again: ....

as of typing my other edit it shot down to below 30mb ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
30 is definitely low, average would be between 70-100
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kevinlow:
i got around 110mb after the Move Dalvik-Cache to Apps2SD with around 50apps installed..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
Do I really need to use App2SD ? Even with 30MB, it's not used as system RAM right ?

Do I get speed advantage by moving the apps to SD ?

If so, wat is the suggested partition size ? 100MB should be more than sufficient ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drygmasken:
I have 29 apps installed, no aps2sd and only have 55mb free.

In 3.4 i had about 100-120mb free.

Changed to 4 beta 1 with full wipe and then only got 55mb. Flashed Beta 2 without wipe and still 55mb free.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Keefo:
im fairly new to all the android stuff so any chance you could explain what you did matey?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] der_bert:
flash the Move Dalvik-Cache to Apps2SD Partition hotfix.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tony28:
It did the trick for me too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tony28:
GOOD NEWS. incoming and outgoing mms are working WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. It never did it before :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kevinlow:
i came from villian4.0 beta 1 without any wipe..initially it was only 34mb after all the apps installed..i flash the Move Dalvik-Cache to Apps2SD Partition hotfix after that and i am getting 110mb now..

edit..107mb after 67 apps installed..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Keefo:
So i simply just flash that fix and thats that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] VenomGBR:
Sigh, as I seem to be getting ignored, i'm reposting what I said.

Im having issues getting apps2sd to work. I downloaded the hotfix with no avail.

My SD card is partitioned as ext3 using the amon ra recovery rom, I installed a few apps after flashing the rom, reboot, and all the apps seem to have remained on my internal memory as opposed to transferring to SD card. (As Apps2SD is meant to work, right?)

Can anyone help?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
Yep, that's it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
Did you wipe the ext3 partition before flashing?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gman.php:
My first feedback:

I've installed it yesterday evening and it runs very stable yet, no crashes since install.

Browser in Apps are working (GREAT!!)!

But I think it's quiet slow, 3.4 is much faster (Yeah I've installed spare parts and set transitions to fast).

And also I think the battery drain is higher as in 3.4 again. I can't say it truely, because I've installed 40apps this morning. (RA-hero formatted my SD card! All backups, all images gone! Recovery didn't work, clean format... damn...) So can't say if it's really higher than in 3.4.

I'll keep testing! Thanks so far for your great work man!!!!

greetings,

Overclock widget doesnt work on this kernel, am I right?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
Overclock Widget will probably help your battery life, but the kernel will over-ride any possible speed gains
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Too51oll:
How could it help with battery life when it doesnt work?? Its not working if screen is on neither off.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
It doesnt allow you to bump the speed up, but it doesnt seem to have a problem with dropping the speed during sleep
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Well done Nathan (and RaiderX)

4Beta2 is another ROM I will keep installed on my Hero since it seems to me quite stable and without mayor bugs. In my opinion the best since 3.3.

If you continue like this we won't need any official htc release!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Too51oll:
Now it makes sense:)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] VenomGBR:
This is the order in which I did things so you can tell me if I went wrong:

In Recovery mode, I did these steps:-

1. Partition sdcard then,

2. Partition SD (96mb, 512mb and the rest)

3. SD:ext2 to ext3

4. Wipe data/factory reset

5. Wipe Dalvik-cache

6. upload rom zip onto SD card

7. Flash ROM.

If anything is missing, or in the wrong order, could you please show me the correct order so I can do it again.

I purposefully haven't added much to my phone since last night knowing i'd have to do this again to get Apps2SD to work anyway :P

EDIT:

Now, looking through the amon ra recovery I see under "other" it has "move apps+dalv to SD"...Can I just use this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arshad14:
It's just weird how I'm the only one getting the HTC Sense FC when I don't have either the overclocker or autokiller or anything to do with those two apps functionality and I'm getting the FC.

I'm doing a full wipe and reflashing it again and see if i do it one step at a time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
The steps look fine to me, I cant see that it would hurt to try the Amon move function, if the worst comes to the worst you can just reflash\nandroid restore
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] VenomGBR:
I tried it. It didn't work. Nothing changed.

I'm guessing the phone is having trouble accessing the particular partition on my SD card that's responsible for storing apps. Is there anyway I can check this? I have ADB, however i'm new to it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Von Ropen:
Hello,

I am testing this rom, and find the following problem. I made a picture with the camera, and when I try to make a second one, the screen becames black. I push the trackball and as I checked later It has made a picture, while the screen was black. The only way I found to fix it was rebooting the phone, taking off the battery...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geoff_allix:
