How do I update this with the OTA ?

When I click to check it gives me 5.4 not 5.5

I click 5.4 it copies, reboots

than it says "copying files...", I reboot and same thing

Anyone had the same issue ? :confused:

Do I have to activate Apps2sd on villain 5.5? I created an ext3 partition using Paragon Partition Manager on my computer then popped in the card and tried installing some apps, but they still go to the internal storage.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melodaf:
how do you know they go to internal memory ?

I would rather use amon recovery to create ext partition

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrAss69:
Partitions should go as follows

First primary FAT32 (your sd-card storage)

Second primary ext2-4 (Apps2SD partition, best usage should be ext3 and around 512MB)

Third primary swap (as the name says, no need for this one, but i'll use it anyway)

If it's done right, the apps should be moved to the second partition on boot. You can check this by either ADB or terminal on your phone.

Just type

mount

and if it says sth. like

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd ext3 rw,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0

the partition has been successfully mounted and you might wanna check out its contents via "Root Explorer" et al.

Really isn't there someone with "low on space" bug?

How can i fix this, i tried everything ma that icon is always there!

Damn, just flashed SlideVillain and was stating to like it!!! And now it came the Villainrom 5.5.

Oh well, here i go again :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RubenFreitas:
So how is the solving for splitting SMS issue?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chushev:
I noted the free space before and after I installed the apps.

I also thought about using the options in amon recovery to create the partition but I wasn't sure about it. So should I reformat my card in FAT32 and then partition it again in amon recovery?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RapoxD:
Just installed this one as my first custom rom, and it seems great so far.

How ever i can't seem to get the mobile network working :/

So far the Internet is only reachable by Wifi, so what to do? (:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] X-Ter:
Were live wallpapers meant to be enabled by default? They work pretty well (I like the falling Android one) but they definitely slow Rosie down and drain battery so I'd rather not have then enabled by default.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrAss69:
Go ahead and flash this hotfix

http://www.kriev.com/villainrom/ota/VillainROM5.5APNfix-signed.zip

Seems like, they've forgotten to include the APN-list in this release...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xarvox:
is the gps still broken (requiring reboot to activate)?

when the phone takes a few minutes to start, i find it unbearable to restart to get a location fix..

this is a show-stopper for me and i would sincerely appreciate if dev´s could fix it.

tryed 5.4 with some serious fc´s, lagg on incomming calls and was unable to open sms.

are those issues fixed in 5.5?

So no more HTC widgets (clock, bookmarks) in Villain5.5?

Sent from my HTC Hero using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ggrammer:
I had this problem as well at first, you need to go into your settings and application manager and got to htc sense, clear the data and force it to stop, hit your home button on the phone and choose sense if it asks you. it will take a minute to reload. I had to do this 2 times to get all the widgets back.

I have to use APPS2SD as I was having mega low space problems, I can't be the only person that wants to be able to hot-swap SD cards. Hopefully something will come of the rumour that Android 2.2 will have a SD app storage option and it will allow you to chose wher to install apps like good old WM.

Matt

APPS2SD has sped my 5.4 ROM up massively even on a class2 card.

Messaging not working in 5.5

I managed not to get MMS to work. I used the telephony.db update method, but for some strange reason it does not work in this release. Can some one give an expert opinion ?

:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mdk001:
Thanks,but somehow my widgets came back on their own
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] NoXXX:
I can't add my city to the weather & clock widget :( It forcecloses when I choose my city from the list. Also, cities appear there as "null Cityname". The "null" prefix shows before city name and country name. Did I do something wrong? :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robinjives:
I tried that.. but no luck for me.. those widgets are still missing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sayyouwill:
Thanks so much. I tried 3 times and all HTC widgets came back.

Maybe we should try until they come back.

Okay ty (:

Since i'm new to all this flashing, could you or someone else please tell me how exactly I do, to flash this thing into my phone? (:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DerMuri:
Hi!

Great ROM so far.

Loving the zoom-animations :)

But it seems the bug with the menu coming up when double-pressing the menu button to unlock the phone is back - well at least for me it is. Has it ever been gone, though?

Anyone else experienced this?

Any chance for Eclair Lockscreen? I like that by far better than the "ugly" HTC one ^^

Was using Shen's Theme with Eclair Lockscreen but the 2.0 version doesn't seem to have it any more (or is it still possible to get it by deleting HTCLockscreen.apk in the system folder?)

Don't try that hack on non themed Villain btw it will srew up your locksrceen :D

Thought this ROM was supposed to have multilanguage or did i get that wrong? Was hoping for german language there...

Multilanguage would make me (and many else, i think) a donor!

But nevertheless: I love it :)

Regards,

Marius
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] crazygil:
thx u guys great effort...really nice rom.

but i want to ask y the browser is the older ver?

when buzz.google.com, it said that is a old ver. needs 2.0+ for full features buzz.

thx anyway ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] misiak.pb:
Done

Thank you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrAss69:
Just like you flashed to original one, just without wiping ;)

Browse a photo and set it as lock screen. Works so far for me ;)

Wouldn't use this one, because its not able to use WEP-Encryption properly...

Lost my 3g connection

Hi,

I've just installed the villainROM 5.5 and it looks great!

I have one problem though. I cant find a 3g or H signal... So I cant go on the internet. Anybody knows how to fix this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vrmp:
Seems it can only be done on a linux system, which I don't have.

But as far as iI can read the files it seems the settings are afterall located in an .apk file. :)

I think in the xml file located in phone.apk: cdma_call_options.xml

and maybe in cdma_options.xml

There seem to be some settings regarding the plus code dailing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
FWIW, you can do it on any platform with java - get http://code.google.com/p/android4me/downloads/list the AXMLPrinter2.jar.

I tried it, and the files are all just layouts for menus :(

I'm out of ideas for the moment...

missing the email widgets from 4.0 b2 .. after flashing I found only the HTC standard one..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gipsyboy:
Nice ROM but...

This is indeed a good piece of chocklate, but there is actually two things that is critically forcing me back to vr4b2 and this is the countrycode and mms issues. I live in norway but often travels a lot in sweden so I need to change operator, hereby swapping SIM card and apn settings a lot swiftly and on the run... and I am really dependent on that my phone can handle the way its calling my contacts, its of no use for me to change all my contacts pre dial to 00 when someone calls me from a number and it appears with a + I am screwed anyhow !

But I do like this ROM very much and hope a proper gsm ROM for hero will soon apear so it can be rooted... because this porting from cdma will never be properly fixed... because its not in the kernel to handle a simcard first of all...:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MartijnGP:
Anyone who knows what the blue/green circle in the notification bar is up to? My best quess would be the battery indicator, but mine switches between half yellow and full green all the time.

Btw, is MMSZap not included in this one? I was looking to uninstall it as it was beating the crap out of my battery on VillainROM 4.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Morak75:
The 2 arrows ? It is for the synchronisation. But I don't know why it is always showed.

Btw, villain forum doesn't work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MartijnGP:
Sorry, meant yellow and green. It's a circle. I know the synchonisation one but I haven't seen it for the past few hours. Don't seem to have that issue. I've set up a Gmail and a Twitter account to sync.

- Restoring 4.0b2 now, need it to be stable and complete with all my apps for job tomorrow. But it's looking good and blazing fast, but I'm sure if it's faster than 3.4.

a few suggestions.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Morak75:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MartijnGP:
http://ostebaronen.dk/changing-htc_ime-language-to-danish/

It's on about Danish, but you should be able to put it to French as well. I guess you only want the input language? I've got the UI set to English and the input language set to Dutch. To do so, just follow the instructions there and look up the number for the language you want. You might want to try to do the echo thing with FR, but I'm not sure that's going to be succesful..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kiz:
Thanks, I guess I missed it.

On previous builds when using e.g. Yahoo mail account you could choose if you wanted or not wanted mails to be deleted on the server when deleting mails on the phone. I can not for my life find where this setting is in this ROM...?

Radio question

Atm i still have the original radio that came with my hero.

Is it advised to flash the new one on the phone or doesnt it realy matter because wifi etc is still working i think.

thx in advance
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fuz1987:
OTA means "Over The Air" meaning you don't have to connect the phone to your pc with a cable and transfer files and so on. It's all done wirelessly and you should be able to get the updates using the OTA tool that comes with the ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Smallguy17:
Ok thanks! :)

But the OTA fix. Should I flash that right after flashing the ROM?

And im too running the original radio. Should that just be flashed after full wipe?

Sry for all the questions but better safe than sorry :)

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] guguxfr:
Same thing here.

Also, check another contact infos, and contacts app does a FC. Not cool :-(

I did a full wipe before installing. I was using 5.4 before, with no pb.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] boolat:
its mean anything OTA?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
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://http://xdaforums.com/atta...4&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. And by the way, it will probably take a bit to boot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vivmar:

And I don't know how to set it up.

Please help me. Anyone know about this??

Any news regarding multilanguage? I haven't heard anything from Nathan. One thing I noticed was that the WPDB.zip in /system/etc/, which I believe is tha language database file only included 3 files, and was about 300kb. In behnaams rom it is 3mb, and include about 20 files. I tried pushing it with no luck though.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chushev:
I got one pretty serious bug on 5.5. Sense reloads VERY often. If I am jumping in and out of apps for 30 minutes in that time it reloads around 4-5 times...

Is there a fix for this?

EDIT: Actually I think my problem is the same as the post above mine. It is just the home screen reloading, but not on every unlock as he says, it is random in my case.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robinjives:
I got the same problem, installed APP2SD and lost the Gallery as well as all the installed apps. The available free space I have is 93.76MB. Is that normal? How do I know whether APP2SD is working? I can see the partition ext4. :(

I just realised that my Market is gone as well, anyone know how I can fix that?

after flashing 5.5, I can't get connected to the 3G-network. When I turn 3G on, nothing happens, no data symbol neither...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chushev:
you have to manually enter your APN for mobile network. Nathan left that out this time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pina_:
do you mean that I have to enter the server adress, dns, port, username/password manually? Or do I just have to choose the network provider manually? I think it's awful, why did he left out the 3G-automatic settings, since that did work flawlessly...now I just can't connect to the 3G network anymore with this rom :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ascottuk:
Same problem as me, and when i manually enter the settings it doesnt save them, tried a reflash, tried a pulled battery and for some reason it just seems to not save

The link in an earlier post to the APN settings is also down so im stuck at the moment, may have to to just go back to a different rom

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
He left it out by accident, not on purpose.

There is now a hotflix to fix the problem.

This is not the first rom for the hero that a Dev has forgotten to add this, its really not a big deal, if someone had not made the auto file we would all have to be entering them every time by hand anyway.
