Ok, thanks for your answer, seems like few but meaning (for me) differences. Maybe in a near future we could see the best integration if both roms running fast in our Heroes.

IMO if this version could have fix minor bugs as the phone call lag and blackscreen and 3d gallery rotation, and speed tweaks.....it is a keeper (maybe I ask too much)

In the meantime I'll keep an eye in both developments till I realize villian 4 is no longer developed and v5 reaches its maturity before wiping everything.

Thanks for your time and your answer.

restart/crash

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone is experiencing the same issue that I have:

Finally got the whole gold card, flash rec happening last night and managed to flash into a villain 4.0 b2. Everything works awesomely except my phone decides to reset by itself. At one point the screen turn black and it managed to save itself from rebooting (it just took me back to the lock screen and hung there for a while).

I noticed that this resetting issue occurs mostly when im surfing the net with the default browser. 1 or 2 browser tabs open.

Has anyone experienced this issue or have a work around/fix?

cheers!

Hi there,

Managed to solve my facebook issue and my rom is up and running (and i'm loving it! haha)

Just curious however if anyone has any advice on how to extend the battery life? I keep my mobile data on, but wifi and GPS off all the time. in general my battery can last for barely 10 hrs, is that normal? are there any ways to increase my battery life?

I've deleting MMSzap too already....

Thanks!

Kelvin
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Mobile data is a big drain, turn it off if you can help it. It only takes a second to turn it back on.

Also simple things like making sure you always put the phone to sleep when not using it, and use over clock widget to lower your cpu when the screen is off (you can't turn it up high due to kernel restrictions but still works to lower).

battery life on these custom 2.1 roms will never be perfect as the kernal we have is not great.

Hi Nathan,

Just asking if there is going to be a update to the Legend ROM?

I like this ROM so much and dont want to risk tyring your new one until you have the official 2.1.

Thank you for your time

All the best

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
He has an update almost finished but has been working on the 5.0 series lately to give him something new and fun to do.

The 4.0 update should be out at some point when its ready but at the moment no time scale on that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nscxp2005:
Thanks Lenny,

I look forward to the update.

Might be as stupid question, but how do i flash the updates for this ROM? Just like flashing the regular ROM? Call the .zip update and flash it over the Villain ROM=
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicknyhk:
depending on the updates...some updates need u to do a wipe but essentially yeah just open the recovery and flash it..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] WarheadNOR:
thanks! I was thinking about the Rosiefix for this ROM

Got a strange issue, when pressing the menu button from the home screen, the settings button in the bottom right hand corner is overlaid with a 7 ( see pic ).

I've wiped and flashed twice but it's still there.

Any one able to suggest something? It not really affecting anything but it's just a little annoying :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Its a known glitch and there is a fix somewhere for it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Thanks Lenny, gave the Rosie fix file a go and it seems to have corrected it, though it was a little scary when sense fc'd immediately after booting lol
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j0bro:
Ad point 2: in the Legend ROMs, there is an HTC Sense Exchange mail widget that has the animated mailbox (silver/red). I really liked that and would be a very nice addendum to this ROM. On VillainROM 5.2, the Exchange app has black/white icons whereas the Legend version is more colourful.

Hi there,

i've already using this ROM for weeks, then i just partition my SD card to be use for app2sd.

what shoud i do?

i saw that this ROM is 'app2sd ready'
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] biddwiser:
Hi there,

I've installed Villain 4.0 on my Hero. I think I've set up Apps2SD correctly because when I use a terminal app to check, I get the code that says " /system/sd/app". However, when I download an app from the market, and then check my phone memory, it goes down.

Am I missing something?

Nick
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
Just Letting the community know that HTC WIDGETS are available with Get More HTC Widgets on the ROM itself.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
depends how much is it going down by?

If its small then its normal, if big then apps2sd won't be working.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] biddwiser:
I have installed Quick System Info, which tells me the following storage information (by the way I have an 8gb SD card which I partitioned to give 1024MB for the ext. partition):

SC Card Storage

Total: 6.46GB, Free: 6.46GB

A2SD Storage

Total: 0.89GB, Free: 820MB

Internal Storage

Total: 166MB, Free 67.95MB.

After installing the Sky News app (1.81MB) as an experiment, these readings changed to:

SC Card Storage

Total: 6.46GB, Free: 6.46GB

A2SD Storage

Total: 0.89GB, Free: 818MB

Internal Storage

Total: 166MB, Free 67.25MB.

This would lead me to believe that actually my apps2sd is working - am I right? If so, I have a couple of further questions. Will ALL apps, games etc now automatically go to this partition? And does it mean that accessing them will be slower than if they were on the phone's internal memory? I only have a class 4 card so am I likely to have any problems?

Nick
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
Well i found out that it wont work on villain 4.0 Beta 2 nor on the 5 series roms either tried it out on those two roms.What rom it did work on for some reason was Raiderx Legendroid 1.0.1 Rom that how i found this out,i was messing around just to try it out and it dled those widgets and they worked on his rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] biddwiser:
Whenever I exit an application I get the HTC logo appear, and then the 'loading' circle for a few seconds, before it returns to a functioning homepage.

I also have the problem of lag when someone rings me, which is a problem. SOrry if a million people have asked this already, but where are the fixes for these specific issues? I've looked but can't find them (my head is hurting from scrolling through the pages!).

Thanks,

Nick
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
The call lag is fixed if you use VillainRom 5 series.

as for sense closing are you running any task/auto killers? something must be closing sense.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Flame-R:
is there going to be a official version because I've had this ROM since up for download. I think its much better than the 5.2 aswell.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] biddwiser:
Thanks Lenny, I was trying out a couple of task killers but I deleted them.

Would you recommend getting 5.0 overall? Is is faster? I found 4.0 to be really slow until I got Spare Parts and sped up the transitions, plus I think the task killers worked (although I've read everywhere that they're pointless)...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Another small annoyance that I can't seem to fix and I'm not sure if this is normal. My lock screen has the text "Drag down to unlock or place and emergency call" which I'm assuming should show up if there's no service, but I have full service and it never goes away! I'd love it if someone has the answer though it's not impeding the phone, it's just annoying to see
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genisis1032:
crashing search key and market search.

when ever i press the search key on my hero it will crash and need to reset the battery. and also when i press search in the market it will also do the same thing.

im using villain 4.0 beta 2 rom and also updated to the latest radio and done the patches as well

i only rooted my phone the other day and loaded the rom after waiting for the update and couldnt wait any longer lol. if there is a quick fix for this im sorry but couldnt find any thing on it.

i am new to this so be kind =]

Nice work man. Best rom for 2.1 I guess. But there's a bug when tilting to the left in Galery. Or is there a fix already for this?

Really liking the ROM!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] prodygee:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] binario77:
Problems I've noticed so far are

a) My contacts are not syncing despite several reboots and attempts to force sync. Anyone else having this problem? It's odd as my contact groups show but are just not populated so have spent the evening guessing who my texts were from.

b) Keep getting force closes on the Messages (com.android.mms) although Handcent is OK.

Having said that App2SD seems to have worked fine out of the box.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Morak75:
Perso, I don't understand how app2sd works^^ Have created sd ext 3, but had no files on.

Thanks for the fixes

edit ps : no live wallpaper ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
No live wallpapers on any sense ROM.

I'm just uploading a modification to get back the ad-blocking hosts file from older villain roms. Link in the sig as usual.

Testing it as I type. Looks good...

EDIT: Works fine here :) Link here
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Morak75:
Ok too bad :(

What is the goal of this ? Explain to dummies plz

edit : ok so the name is explicite, it blocks advertising from apps ? cool :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
AdFree from market works fine on blocking ads as well
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
Hmmmm... This ROM is not ODEX'd. Can we expect the next "optimized" version to have that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] D3_:
Is there a chance this will "break" some websites?

Using AdBlock Plus with firefox stops images loading on all Amazon sites, so I have to disable it on Amazon, just wondering if this could cause similar problems.

(I had to remove the link to the file to be able to post.)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Amazon fine for me both on hero with this, and on FireFox with abp. Your ad block list in ff sounds like it needs replaced.

Basically, this update.zip let's you surf the net and use apps, and advertising should all be gone. (for whoever asked)

Howto de-install apps like Friend Stream etc

Hello,

First of all: Thanks for the great rom!

I have been reading this forum, and I read that people are de-installing apps that come with the rom.

So I tryed using ES File Explorer, but no luck.

Can someone please tell me how to do it right?

Thanks,

Jos
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I've had it on my custom benocharm one since the start. This is the legend browser afaik.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Morak75:
Whoever was me.. ok thanks for confirmation.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
You need root right to do so, and that app don't use them.

Root explorer (paid iirc) can do it, or use adb shell. Be sure you know what you're doing and what not to delete.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mattywoz:
Just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work on this rom. Gmail images working so no more using K-9 mail as a work around. Also now got Hullomail working which did not work for me on 3.4. As for the speed, everything seems fine after several reboots as described and only FC had was looking at APN's which is now fixed thanks to the earlier post.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Morak75:
#minor bug

About Camera's interface, only horizontal position, doesn't rotate if I turn the phone.

Wrong traductions do we have to report them too ?

Then, in the camera/option/parameters/quality, in french, I have "Normal<Haute qualité<Haut", correct trad, after checking in english, is "Normal<Bonne<Haute".

Is it possible in theory to put live wallpaper in this rom ? even if it is on Sense..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
Just for the fun of it

Ripped out all the Rosie-stuff from the ROM, except the HTC-keyboard (I like that better than the stock android one) - and I must say; it's blazing fast. Looking forward to the day Nathan makes a vanilla version of this ROM (He definately would make it better than I'm able to).

Good job, dude!

If you cup the bottom of the phone with both hands, will the connection switch to EDGE, or will the data just drop out altogether?

(Might only be for those of you with weak signal, such as -90 dBm and weaker)

(You can check signal strength via Settings -> About Phone -> Network)
[Nexus One General] britoso:
On edge only. T-mo n1.

When switching from holding the top and bottom; the signal changes from -61dBm to -55dBm.

Not 100% of the time though, sometimes it barely fluctuates.
[Nexus One General] GuestK0050:
I have the AT&T version and just tested this. My result on 3G are almost exactly the same. Sometimes I loose up to 10db's. I put both hands around the back, and held it close to my body.

But I've never had the phone drop to EDGE once in 2 days in the SLC area.

Is this similar to the T-Mobile one? I have a Rogers G1 at home, I should check to see how these guys compare.

-James
[Nexus One General] awtryau89:
Just checked mine on AT&T. The phone idles at my desk at around -87dBm. When I cup my hand around it it drops to -103dBm or worse. I can get it to lose signal altogether but it does not switch to Edge. Interseting that it has to be hardware related IMO. I wonder if one of those antenna boosters would actually work in this case?
[Nexus One General] GuestK0050:
You should do a speed test with your hand around it and one without and post your results.
[Nexus One General] bugsy:
I see some drop as well, but don't see it as much of an issue since I don't cup my hands around the bottom of the phone when using it. I think this is a fairly common problem with any phone which has the antenna on the bottom where you normally hold it. I saw something similar with my Nokia e71. The positive is that it puts additional distance between the antenna and your brain!
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Ah, I see.

So it looks like the 3G problem T-Mobile users have experienced is because of network technology.

When T-Mobile N1's go below -100 dBm, it switches to edge.

When AT&T N1's go below -100 dBm, it just cuts off the data. (Can anyone else with sub -90 dBm confirm this?)

In that case, it's hard to say which is preferable. Either you have slow connection, or no connection...

=\
[Nexus One General] ocblazer949:
Im on the ATT network. I live in an area which is considered a "dead zone" between two towers here. Avg signal inside my home is around -92 dBm. Right now my N1 is sitting on the desk and is pulling -111 with one bar registered on edge. this is the worst ive seen it so far.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
Slow connection is better than no connection.
[Nexus One General] Antioch18:
On my desk it idles at -70 dBm. With my hand around it it goes to -78 dBm. That's no biggie at all.

One thing you may be doing to foul your results is moving the phone for the in-hand test. Signal reception will be *different* with the phone in a different location and orientation.

Let's eliminate all these lurking variables before we go pointing fingers, folks.

I'm enjoy the heck out of my N1 and have had 0 problems (including anything with the screen).
[Nexus One General] awtryau89:
I was out a good bit today in areas I usually drive. I know where I drop calls on my iPhone because I use the "Mark the Spot" app to send in to AT&T. No drop calls today with the N1. I also tested the phone in my basement. I constantly use my iPhone down there and have issues with a signal. When I originally tested the N1 in my Home Theater I was thinking I had a dud. I checked for a signal and had none where as I usually am on Edge and get 1 bar with the iPhone. The I noticed I was still on HSDPA with -111dBm. After a few seconds it switched to Edge and went into the 70-80 range. I am getting a much better Edge signal in my basement than I ever did with my iPhone.
[Nexus One General] ram130:
T-Mobile network would be better in that case. Think about it, its a hand off going on between 3G and EDGE. On T-Mobile, when on a call and your 3G signal gets low(-108dBm), your call is hand off to the EDGE network with higher signal. Hence no drop call when you approach a 3G dead zone. So think about AT&T, do they do this? apparently it seems the phone only switches to EDGE when there is No Signal at all on 3G. Hence a drop call could occur. Can someone confirm my theory?

Can you test my theory? Answer a call on 3G and go into your basement, your call should drop and the phone should switch to EDGE after..let me know if that happens..
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] denraweb:
Ok so I got my TP2 and love it so far. I have an issue that I noticed when trying to put my songs back on.

I had a TP1 prior to my TP2 and before I sold the TP1 I used pim back up and activesync to get all my info off the phone so I can transfer it to the tp1. While using pimbackup, I was able to get all my messages and contact from the TP1. BUT, I used activesync to get some music and stuff off of it and when I tried to add the same music folder back onto the TP2, it said there was insufficient space. My TP2 has about 1/3 the programs that were on my TP1 but when I compare they have the same RAM and ROM memory? Why can't I put the same amount of music on my TP2? Is there something I have to do to make it work? Thanks for the help.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] burtonsnow8:
The OS could be taking up more space. Why not just buy a 4GB SD for like $10?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] denraweb:
Im gonna end up getting a 4gb, but I dont want to have to lose my music everytime i take out my memory card to insert my GPS maps memory card. I put alot of songs on my TP1's internal memory. I just dont understand why this phone is supposed to be way better, but cant hold nearly as many songs as my tp1...
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] burtonsnow8:
I didn't realize you were using a SD card for maps, because you are right it doesnt make much sense. How much music are you trying to put on (in terms of MB)?

Maybe you want to try SKtools auto clean to save some space too...clears up cached files and whatnot.
[HD2 General] zefiltrin:
I've just came across a problem that I can't seen to resolve: my Music Tab from sense just hung up one time, lending me to have a forced soft reset.

Ok, I just thought it would be something I've uploaded and, after reset, went into the Music Tab again.

Now, it just restarts HTC Sense.

I took off my MicroSD and soft reset the HD2: nothing! Every time I load Music Tab, Sense restarts by itself.

I've already erased every single audio file, and still the Music Tab cause Sense to restart every time it's acessed.

I started to happen when I started playing some mp3 files I've just uploaded. It played the file for something like 10 seconds than this started to happen.

Does anyone know how to solve it? Is there a "Music Tab" cache or indexer somewere that can be erased?

I have Manila 2.5.1921 and a 1.66.707 WEE based ROM from Laurentius26 dated 01/12/10 (don't think it's ROM related, though).

I've searched forum but didn't found someone having a problem similar to this...

Is hard reset or flashing another ROM the only solution?

And here is the solution:
