First impression is really good. seems fast and everything working. I flashed with no wipe, had to wait for ~10 minutes but bootet fine. lost my theme (the nexus thing), but guess i can flash that again if I want to.

I have a question :

1. - At first I hadd less internal memory as reported by a couple already. I flashed the fix from beta 1 that moves dalvik to SD and is now back to the memory I had before. 143mb. Is this the way Apps2sd should be? .

Does anybody that wiped have confirmed Apps2sd working? I mean I dont`s see the reason to wipe as everything is fine, but at the same time I want the best performanse ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Type

ls -l /data

And check app and apple private go to /system/ad

Dalvik too if you used my dalvik fix
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ratson:
:) sorry to tell you that but it is not. AutoKiller is just a minfree manager, and so it will never cause an FC in other applications than itself (if i leave a bug in unintentionally).

on the other side more than 15k+ are using it day by day and if you don't do extreme settings (just stick to presets if you are not 100% sure what these settings do) it will greatly improve responsiveness and will spare your battery.

so please don't blame something without knowing if you are right. in this case you were wrong.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
I'm not sure whats causing your problems but no problems on this end. I'm still using the overclock widget as well no sense fc but I noticed when I was running 4.0 with the autokiller app I was receiving fc on rosie got rid of autokiller app no more fc
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eujene:
No-wipe update from beta 1 to beta 2.

app2sd working for sure

(lrwxrwxrwx root root 2010-03-23 07:33 app -> /system/sd/app)

But i have 53mb free after reboot.

Anyway this ROM is fast. A tad slower that 3.x series, but fast.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dcmedia:
I have the same issues.

The "save theme" box i removed with killing the task "sense manager". But for the less free internal memory i have not idea. In 3.4 i had approx. 62 MB and in 4.0B2 its only 13 MB!

That's the first i found, i will continues to test.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
I would use either the default preset or the optimum preset
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gtot:
How / Where do you do that ?

I really need Danish keyboard language ?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
Did a full wipe and flashed the Villain Beta 2 last night, really pleased with the speed difference and although not fully tested, everything seems to be running fine.

Still have to manually sync Friendstream and Hotmail POP account but can live with that.

Well done for all the hard work Nathan and a big thanks to everyone in the community who contributed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ratson:
that is the safe side, i agree.

default is read upon boot, so it is always your device's factory value (unless if mod creator sets initial minfree values)

my advice is optimum or strict, although i use Aggressive
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ratson:
#bug

about my battery issues, the cause was MMSZAP. it was trying to set apn every few secounds, even during sleep. now i lost only ~8% of juice during the night (after removing mmszap)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
Well I apologize for what I wrote about your app I should have worded it like this ( it could be the autokiller app) and the reason why I thought it could have been because after uninstalling autokiller app I noticed that I had no more fc with rosie. Sorry for the miss confusion if I caused any.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pitel:
GPS

Please fix the GPS, otherwise it's unusable for me. Thank you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SpPes:
Whow

Hi Nathan, Amon and other helping with this ROM.

Just wanna to say RESPECT, why is there the Beta appendix? From my side HTC does not need to release the upgrade ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ratson:
it's ok. no probl ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Everyone please consider checking out the Villain Specific forum at www.Villainrom.co.uk

It also has a complete list of mirrors for the latest beta release and will probably have more concise information on hotfixes etc than this site, especially seen as threads here (especially villainrom threads) get very big very quick.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] andready:
Great rom, Nathan.

I have a little problem with calender and the save scene widget.

When you create a new event in the HTC calender, you can't give it a name.

I can't remove the save scene widget from the home screen.

/Andready:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drygmasken:
I don't now how this work, but I prefer the NeXus Edit for Villain 4.0beta sense.

If I flash this, will it effect the speed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
I totally agree with you but yes they still need to release just for the kernel most hero devs need that very important to them specially so we can have the right drivers for are phones
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rimoog:
Hi,

Currently I'm downloading 4.0 Legend Beta 2.

At this moment I am using 3.4 on my Hero.

But I have a question regarding doing a full wipe before flashing Beta 2.

When I go to Android System recovery(Build: RA-hero-v1.5.2) and then choose wipe there are 5 different kind of Wipes I can choose from.

What means a full wipe,do all the 5 wipe options,or just the first one(Wipe data/factory reset)?

Cause the first one is the only one I can do from there,the others I got a message: Error : 'wipe dalvik'via adb!

What does this means and how can I do a wipe via adb and is this really important to do?

Looking forward to see some advice,cause I really like to flash Beta 2 :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tombriden:
+1

Have tried wiping and flashing twice but the 'save scene' box stays underneath the clock on the home screen. You can type into the 'scene name' box but the 'Done' and 'Cancel' buttons have no effect.

Any ideas anyone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Finally got round to flashing this :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
What I did to get rid of the save scene widget was just type something in and keep pushing saveover and over until it disappears
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Don't panic. It's a glitch with the 'pinch to zoom' screen you generally get on the other Eris roms, etc.

If you ignore it, and start adding icons, eventually it will vanish.

It did it to me too. It vanished within a couple of minutes.

Yes it's annoying, but it will go.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
please sign up to the bug reporting feature at ww.villainrom.co.uk that way it becomes easier to track and try to fix these bugs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Or that! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
first boot is surprisingly quick (with wipe) unless it now stays on quietly brilliant for ages :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tony28:
Ok i have installed the rom. Everything went well. It is quite slow. And i have 2 problems. App2sd do not seem to work. And when i try to change apn settings it crashes.

But nice rom :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
I just wipe data factory battery wipe and rotation wipe
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
For anyone out there that doesn't like Titanium backup's interface and has always used My Backup Pro.

My Backup Pro got an update yesterday to include root features and as a result can now restore market links. Not tested yet but will be any minute now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
For apn fix download "apn backup and restore". Open the app and delete apn's then go to your apn menu and press menu and go restore defaults.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tombriden:
So it does; kept hitting the buttons on it and added a few widgets and it went away. Thanks! and thanks again for another great rom!

Just signed up, will add the bug and 'fix'
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I have noticed straight away from setup that the keyboard lag has gone (and it does not vibrate as strongly)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vvaleta28:
If that works, because we have less delvik-memory cache is not passed to the sd, if passed, Shutter reduces load on the desktop.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skedone:
lol guys the save scene widget is NOT the save scene widget its the pinche zoom tut just press top right of widget and it will go
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
+1 on this :)

its just another graphical glitch
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] trip hazard:
Unsuccessful

Hi Guys,

I came from (I think) version 3.2 of Villain and did a full wipe including dalvik cache prior to flashing this. However, it now just sits at the HTC "quietly brilliant" screen forever. I actually left it overnight to see if I was just being impatient but it still didn't finish.

I have nandroid backups aplenty but I'd really like to get this new ROM up and running. Does anyone have an idea as to what might be going on? I've tried to flash this ROM four times now :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I will copy Nathan's release info to the new forum (www.villainrom.co.uk), and change the post author to be his account, Lenny.

We really need to get some new content up there. I wont really have time to admin the forum till tonight though.. you wanting admin rights for a bit? (I can promote you right now if so desired. That lets you create new forums. Just copy permissions from the villainrom 4 beta thread to be sure everyone gets access...)

Let me know if you want admin though...

I'll be flashing this rom tonight, and I'm really looking forward to giving it a go...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Keefo:
If im going from Villain 4.0 to the new stable version do i need to re-wipe everything again?

Or can i just flash over the top of my current version?

will all my programs and widgets etc still be intact?

cheers

Keith
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hanserson1:
Full wipe after you flashed the ROM and everything is gonna be all right.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] trip hazard:
Yeah, I ended up restoring the latest nandroid backup a few minutes ago. I really would like to get this new ROM up and working though. Seems odd that it just sits at that Quietly Brilliant screen indefinitely.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Stating the obvious, but do you have an EXT4 partition?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jeremy89632:
To make life easier for all, could we add the bug reporting feature on the first post, right at the top, so that it will catch more eyeballs?

Thanks!

Anyone else having problems with Mobile Network.

I can't connect to Vodafone The Netherlands.

When I go to Mobile Network settings I get an error: Application setting stopped (proces com.android.settings)

can someone help me out?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riddick541:
Did you wipe the ext partition from the sd-card? because, this can be the cause of the bootfrees. Try it wiping it all this time: data, dalvik and ext partition.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gc48067:
Downloaded and flashed this morning, was kinda surprised, wiped SD and Davlik but didn't factory reset/wipe data. Applied the update and left my phone on for the motorbike trip to work. Checked the phone when I arrived and apps needed reinstalling (as expected) but everything else was there - all mail working fine, no problems encountered so far just working smoothly and quickly.

Thanks again Mr Russell and partners in crime!

New hosting site was awesome BTW - downloaded in around 5 mins!

Will wait and see what the battery does and report if interesting.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] trip hazard:
Thanks for the reply Nathan.

I don't have an EXT4 partition, no. My SD card is configured with a FAT32, a 512(ish) EXT3, and a linux swap.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] trip hazard:
Ah, I wasn't aware of that. Thanks a lot for the tip. I'll give that a go shortly and report back...though (unfortunately) I'm at work at the moment so it might take a while to find some spare time. Stupid work.

#bug

any one have the number seven show up when u press menu, where settings is?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Yes - this is one of the four graphical glitches in the build.

I am working on a fix to this.

Oh, and I might as well mention whilst I'm on the subject...

I'm trying to completely fix MMS & GPS. This is my mission.

Once all this is done, we basically have a completely, 100% working Sense UI 2.1 rom.

EAT THAT HTC.

PS - @ermacwincs - Love the sig :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rimoog:
To get a Mobile Data Connection is really frustrating,it does not work here.

Maybe I will go back to 3.4 this gave me problems.

For the last time I will Wipe data and try to flash again and will see what happens.

Hi

Great rom!

Whats the best way to transfer sms from the Eris leak to this one?

Tried titanium but it makes Mms to FC.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
ok not sure how much time I can spend on it during the day today though, i have a busy day. But will do what I can.

Edit: its also not letting me log into bug tracker, saying my account has been disabled :)

Search the market for SMS backup & restore. Should work.

hi i was just wondering if any one has been having problems with the using htc sync since using both villain 3.4 and the legend 4.0 build. i have managed to back up everything by other means but was jus wondering if there was a way to fix sync? or is it just me that gettin this problem?!

thanks for any advice in advance
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
ok, btw are u working on a fix for mp4 vids and graphical glitches?

edit: lufarjof i just used sprite backup and transferred texts from eris to legend and it worked fine
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I didn't know there was an issue with MP4 vids. I will work on that tonight.

Yes, already mentioned I'm working on a fix for graphical glitches! :)

Look at you - living up to your nickname :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jeremy89632:
Just wondering, when will that be coming?

No rush though :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
win win win
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Keefo:
woop, flashing new Beta 2 now!

And yeah, when you record a video in MP4 format, you cant play it back, just has sound, no picture!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Right. That's lame. I will look in to that as a priority tonight.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j0bro:
Maybe I've missed it, but: does the auto brightness (and all other power management features for that matter) work correctly?

If so, I'd like to flash your ROM right away and do some debugging myself (Android dev) if you like.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjasper:
Now you're just teasing us
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I know how to fix the autobrightness, so I'll get that done tonight/tomorrow latest.

Hang fire until then if you want to wait for that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ashes:
True :)

Great work nathan. This ROM is very good. Fixed the GPS and MMS issues, minor GUI tweaks, and it will be perfect.

Anyone theming this ROM ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
thought about reviving the .29 kernel port idea?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Leeejohn:
Great Rom Again

I recently installed the BETA 2. I must say i'm very impressed.

The performance is much better, but not very good.

I did test some features, but not all of them. Everything worked fine for me.

I hope the next version is a bit faster and hope some widgets are back again (battery, etc).

Keep up the good work m8 ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Keefo:
how long does the Beta2 take to do its first boot??

took a little while tog et past the "Hero" screen, now its on "HTC Quietly Brilliant" and its just sat there...

:EDIT:

got past it now woop :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drygmasken:
FriendStream seems to update correctly for me now :)

Not email (POP3#/IMAP) thou, still needs to be manually refreshed :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j0bro:
GOOD :)

The thing is, I'm developing an Android 2.1 app which can override Exchange lockscreen policy, so I'm running BeHero 1.3.2 for now. The battery usage though is accountable to Display (read: backlight) for about 75% and for 25% to actual apps/system usage. So if the massive battery drain could be harnessed with your new ROM, I'll gladly wait a little :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
To be honest, I really haven't noticed a problem with the lag in beta 1 so I will skip beta 2 and wait for the fully complete version... sound like it's worth the wait ;)

Great work as always Russell :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] janvandusschoten:
I use SMS Backup & Restore. Backs up on your SD-card, and restores them on your new ROM.

Works like a charme :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Honestly - It's worth upgrading to beta2!

The graphical glitches are so minor...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
I am running Beta2 now, but it feel sooooo much like beta1 + glitches. Maybe it'll be good to list out a list of updates that were done to the beta (things that we don't get to see until we try it ? :))

Browser scaling problem

I've been running beta 2 for a few hours now and it's working very well. Definitely noticing a speed boost since initial release!

The only really annoying problem so far is the page scaling issue in the browser reported by ricostuart back on page 66. Google Reader is very difficult to use when you have to scroll from side to side all the time. I've been playing around with the settings in about:debug and seen some minor improvement in the behaviour when using "normal rendering" mode but nothing that really works. It's not specific to the Legend browser either since the same thing happens in Dolphin and in the default 2.1 browser. Something deeper in the Legend ROM itself?

Looking forward to the "something very exciting"! :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
It's significantly quicker isn't it ? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Has anyone had any luck removing HtcLockScreen.apk yet?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
One thing I've noticed in all the Legend builds is IMAP mail not downloading (if there's anyone here that actually uses it).

The account sets up fine and all the details check out no problem, but after a sync (and successive sync's), it just says 'No Mail'.

I'm torn though, whether or not to actually care, as I'd rather not get work email on my phone anyway!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Keefo:
Sounds like a win to me... lmao

no chance of getting your mail setup on POP instead?

Mine is working perfectly on POP, e-mails are flying through to my phone

What kind of work mail do you have? If its Exchange, that should work through active sync, rather than using IMAP.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] VenomGBR:
Im having issues getting apps2sd to work. I downloaded the hotfix as well.

My SD card is partitioned as ext3, I installed a few apps after flashing the rom, and all the hotfixes. I then reboot, and all the apps seem to have remained on my internal memory as opposed to transferring to SD card.

Can anyone help?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
Nah definitely IMAP, we run a relatively tight ship at the company I work for, with Dovecot/EXIM for an IMAP4.x server. No POP access, etc

As I said, I'm not particularly worried by it, it is my personal phone, and I'd rather not bug Nathan with something that doesn't matter, but just in case anyone had seen the issue as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drygmasken:

Amazing job Nathan! Thanks for your efforts!

All the glitches I have encountered in the latest Beta are minor except the lag when I have an incoming call. It takes the phone up to 15 seconds to show the caller ID. Even the ringtone is a bit late for my taste: it starts ringing 5 seconds after the trackball starts flashing.

Since the Hero is still a phone, I think this fix should be a priority. :
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rimoog:
I also have issues with change some setting in APN settings.

When I open this I get an error,so this is not working.

Anyone has an idea how i can setup my Mobile Internet for dutch Vodafone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fatefearfighter:
I suspect it is google reader itself that does this. I think our phone tells google reader it is a legend, thus google reader thinks it has more screen estate to fill.

hi, i flashed beta2 last night and i'm really impressed, i had abandoned the idea to have a good 2.1 rom until htc would release its official one, but i was wrong.. :D
