An odd thing about the camera, apart from the fine grid. See the picture here, the top right corner. This glitch appears on around 80 percent of my photos, in different regions. Now I'm looking through my photos, I believe I've seen that in Villain 5.2 as well.

So far GPS and everything works perfect. The only glitch is WiFi . It is very sluggish and when sending request it takes ab 20 sec before it responds. It wasnt the case on VanillaEclair 1.2.1JIT where it worked brilliant. Any clues ? I tried changing channels between 6 and 11, and b+g/g mode, using netgear router.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] simonsteele:
WiFi seems also sluggish and I went through a lot of time yesterday where it was not connecting and the cell signal in my house is non existent so it was noticeable.

Loading the market seems slow also but for me it was like this on 5.2 also.

On a side point (and I have had a bit of a search) the photos taken seem quite yellow in appearance. Is this fixable?

Cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pschoch:
Very happy with 5.3.

MMS also works after applying the mentioned hack here in the forum.

hi there,

first of all, big thx to developers!

I have downloaded rom and installed after wipe/factory reset. it tooks a while to boot up first time. now I try to install apps from the market but I cannot connect to my data provider. with modaco rom (I used before) there were no such problems.

does anybody know what the problem could be in such case?

regards.

Greenish fix on Camera fixed together with Pulser for 4 hours.

As usual, update.zip, flash thru Fastboot.

Enjoy :)

EDIT:

If it doesnt work, please wipe dalvik-cache via fastboot (Home+End key while booting)

The very first boot will be at least 20 mins, be warned.

The green tinge will sometimes appear in viewfinder, but when you snapped the photo, it will remove the greenish slimes
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ammararshad:
Absolutely Awesome!

Hi,

Just wanted to thank the developers for this stunning rom. I own the T-Mobile branded version (G2 Touch).

Installed the 5.3 rom yesterday and i must say so far so good :)

I did have problems with the navigation and viewing the gallery but it was due to the LW patch. Had to reflash leaving the LW patch out! Now works amazingly well!

Otherwise its fast, it seems stable and it really is an outstanding piece of work :)

Also wanted to say that since I was new to the whole idea of rooting my phone - i found that the "[Guide] Complete Newbie Guide to Install a Custom Rom & Newbie FaQ" a extremely useful and helpful guide :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DarthOps:
Superb superb superb!!!

This rom is absolutely excellent, everything is working, its fast and I was blown away by the Google Maps Navigation! I must say that 2.1 is a big improvement over 1.5!

A few questions, is there a fix for the volume buttons not working when the screen is off? I change the volume during calls quite often and at the moment I'm having to tell the person on the other end to hold on while I press the menu button and then press the volume key! :)

Also, I've been trying to use the overclock widget from the market and it doesn't seem to work correctly, with the modaco 3.2 rom it was something to do with the kernel automatically adjusting the cpu clock? If the widget won't work, is there any way that I can manually set the cpu clock?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tofrost:
where can I get other languages for this rom?? MoreLocale ony translates a few things... thats not satisfying...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
This was well worth the wait, totally outdone yourself.

Just wondering if anybody has a working version of the HTC Sense live wallpaper for this rom. Tried using the one from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=647837 just on the off chance it would work, but it just comes up in the live wallpapers menu then crashes when trying to set it.

If this is possible, I really see no reason to get a Desire at all lol

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jeremy89632:
Please wipe dalvik cache by fastboot and see how it goes.

There may be green tinge in the viewfinder, however when you snapped the photo, it will be fixed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jeremy89632:
Start the camera app and try to take a picture of a blank A4 sized paper, if you see green stuff, flash.

If not, ignore yeah. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] btdag:
NOTE do not wipe it using the recovery rom, this just left me waiting on the HTC logo for ages and i'm now restoring a nandroid...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jeremy89632:
YES! You must wait min 20 mins.

Plug in your USB cable and type adb logcat

It should be as the same speed as first boot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sharlei:
I have noticed some bugs.

GPS cannot find my location.

Random reboots while using camera.

Contacts from sim card cannot be hidden from "people" list.

All available contacts (facebook, google, outlook) are shown in the phone application.

And still this is the best 2.1 rom I used.

Thanks for your work man, keep it going.

http://villainrom.co.uk/bug/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] btdag:
Mine usually boots within 2-3 minutes, even on first boot. But i'll wait.

Logcat is pretty awesome, i had no idea it was realtime :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jeremy89632:
Yeah, but once you do a dalvik wipe, the phone have to build up all the cache again.

So its like first boot.

Plug your phone to your PC and use adb logcat to see what's it running.

While fixing this bug with Pulser, I have to dalvik wipe 4 times to make sure it is stable before releasing. So yeah.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] btdag:
LOL fair nuf. I do feel for you then :) this is taking a long time... currently sat on D/MediaPlayerService

Gave up, flashed from the start again so i'll try the trick again later

Hey.

I'm currently about to update to VillainROM 5.3, but I have never really figured out what radio I should use?

Should I use "63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18" since EU means Europe where I live? Or should I use the newest (63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26) at modaco?

Thanks in advance!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kyods:
Yes, it will. What I would suggest, just to be completely on the safe side, is to flash the ROM, boot it, make a nandroid backup, apply the LW patch and see the difference. If it gets too slow/buggy for you, just restore the backup and you're all set.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Rptynan:

One improvment

I think nprussells work is amazing, speedy, full featured, always kept up to date. But i feel theres only one aspect of his roms that slightly lets them down, and this is the gameplay (FPS) you get on this ROMs. I was wondering if it is a simple tweak to include as i remeber Legendroid had poor graphics in 1.0 then a day later it was update to 1.0.1 with a 'graphics tweak' and it hits 30fps. This is targeted at the devs if they can enlighten me with any extra info on wether this is just somthing overlooked or just very difficult to add to such a highly featured rom such as villain :D. (BTW i have NOT flashed the LW update... before i get people constantly asking)!!!!! thanks a lot :D

Because I actually liked the full screen weather animations better then livewallpapers I decided to re install 5.3.

I wiped and installed the rom now for the 3rd time but it keeps hanging on the black and white HTC screen.

Unfortunately I just partitioned my SD for apps2sd so I don't have any nandroids. What should I do? i can't acces my phone anymore and the rom.zip on it seems to be broken.

It's on the HTC screen for 30 minutes now without any visual effects so I think it's stuck

street view problem

hi,

I just rooted my phone this weekend and put VillainROM 5.3 straight on. after a bit of messing around I got it all up and running fine. Great ROM!

Couple of issues i have:

1. If i try to access street view using google maps, I get force close everytime. tried re-installing but did not fix the problem.

2. Gallery is very slow. Too slow to use to see your pics. tried a few restarts but did not fix the problem. maybe its better with new pics.. not sure.

Other than that, great ROM. keep up the good work.

Just A little help

So for those of you that are having problems with with A2SD, here are the instructions on how I got mine to work:

First download this- http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=314994&d=1272087816

Ok now that you have this fix in the root of your sd card reboot into recovery.

Flash the fix you downloaded

DO NOT REBOOT

Now that it has completed flashing process, Partition the sd card

I partition like this, swap=0, Ext2= 512mb, fat32= Remaining

after partition, upgrade to Ext3

reboot.

it should have given you way more memory, ike 160mb in the phone, but apps are still going to be installed on the sd.

If u are having problems with the gps ( have to restart to get gps working)
