[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dbsoundz:
I am currently on 5.3 and have two issues:

1) notifications

Often notifications do not start. My phone only vibrates but sound appears not until I reactivate the phone... (appears on mails via K-9 or SMS or Peep)

2) K-9 To-field without autocomplete

In K-9 the phone does not search in my adressbook while tiping the name. Is that a porblem with K-9 or the ROM? It wasn't like this before on original ROM.

Does anyone noticed such problems?

Bootscreen freeze

Hi.

I was using Modaco 3.0 ROM in my Orange GSM HTC Hero and tried to install VillainRom 5.4 but it always freezes in the spinning bootscreen. After about 7mins it just stops spinning and i have to remove the battery.

Steps:

1. Do nandroid backup.

2. Revert to factory.

4. Flash VillainRom

5. Flash Boot Hotfix

... i even tried formatting the sdcard and the results are the same.

Anyone experiencing this ? For clarification, nothing but the bootscreen appears in the screen. It doesn't get to the lock screen (which is what the hotfix is meant to fix).

Thanks

Bad theme!!!! Can i change? How?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] crazyVII:
speed sucks....

fu*k sorry guys...

i justed wanted to tell.. tested it very often.. also now with the now latest rom gps is working perfectly...

BUT

- overall speed just sucks ...

- with && without task-manager...

- laggy on homescreen

- laggy keyboard typing (auto-completion)

- laggy / extremely slow loading, scrolling, browser...

it's just not for everyday usage...

... i'm just waiting to often...

and that was, what i liked with android...

fast...stable.. :=) perfect :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melodaf:
Damn it ! I had done this the first place, and had no problems with the lock screen. But someone in the forum said to do a wipe first, otherwise the rom would be slow. I did that and bumped with the stupid wallpaper lock bug.

Now I will do all over again.

Stupid blue theme.... (I want the Android smiles back to gtalk :( )

A wesome rom, I actually quite like the blue theme and more importantly the keyboard lag is almost gone compared to 5.3. also for those wondering it works perfectly with my Sony Bluetooth carstereo both phone and music.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrsatan:
This Rom definitely has some issues. If I flash it without wipe from 5.3 to 5.4 it boots up and everything just fine while showing the OTA updater that was added. Problem is, it has trouble syncing certain apps (AppBrain).

If I wipe then do the 5.4 update it hangs after the initial setup so I pull the battery and then it boots just fine. Problem is, it is not showing the OTA updater after doing this. Not a huge deal, since I install from the SD anyways, but I thought I would throw it out there.

Some information for the future:

All future VillainROMs will be released with the STOCK SENSE theme.

Additional themes will be included in the first post, and available via OTA updates in the very near future.

I will release a working, unmodified 5.4 by tomorrow at the latest. I have 5 days off from tomorrow :)

For those of you who would like a replacement theme for this fantastic ROM, I have just posted my new PettyCriminal theme for Villain 5.4. All of the blue (I hope!) has been replaced with green, the Android Smileys are back and the lock screen has been replaced with the HTC (curved) one.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zebwen:
The theme is great! I just like it better with the colours changed to green is all. The actual menu's, the notification swipe-down and the new info icons at the top are fantastic! Much better than the stock ones IMO, Tristan should be proud :)

My changes are mainly just switching the baby-blue motif back to the green we all know and love, the key elements of the original theme are still there (other than the blue Emotes, I just liked the "Droid" ones and I'm quite partial to the curved HTC Lockscreen):)

Sorry, sorry... the thing is those blue androids were driving me crazy.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MickyLuv:
I'm new at this, so because I don't know any better, after I installed VillainRom 5.4 and it kept hanging during boot I did the following:

Each time it froze, I took the battery out, then replaced it and re-booted.

Every time I did this it went further through the boot process, until after 4 times or so, it booted fully but slowly.

Next time I booted, it booted fast and has been doing so ever since.

Mike

Im running this now. Works really well. Like the skin also. Faster than 5.2. Only one thing. I try to install the Boot hotfix with the OTA Updater but when it is supposed to ask for root it just shows "SU Request" and a black window and after a while a "not responding" message.

I did go from 5.2 to 5.4 without a wipe (didn't see any info about wipe or not so I took a chance)

Hi,

i've installed 5.4 yesterday with all hotfix and today i decided to restore "my backup pro" data and all worked fine but the ROM notice me "low on space".

I uninstalled a lot of programs and now i have 20Mb of free memory but notice not gone and i cant install from market application. I rebboted but nothing.

After a call the notice is gone and previous installation from market are done.

Why????

And another thing, why from settings/photos i cant set wallpaper and lockscreen wallpaper???

GPS is slow, now i test it with Sygic 10.

Bye
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melodaf:
Hey man. Did you test if app2sd is working ? There is a script you can run to do this (it's somewhere in the forum, but I couldn't find it :confused: )

I think you must do a total wipe of the ext partition before flashing to make it work (forget I said this if you already did that).

The freezed lockscreen wallpaper really is a pain. If you flash first the 5.3 rom and them flash 5.4 over it without wipe you gain the power to change it (but not to use one of the HTC Gallery pictures).

The GPS works fine for me if I do that trick of disabling it, re-enabling it and reboot the phone. If I dont do that the first time I flash the ROM I can't use the GPS at all.

Anyway, I hope any of these tips will help you.

Calibrate aborts

I second this. G-calibration doesn't work, always aborts though I haven't notice the lack of orientation sensitivity. I'm coming straight from modoca 3.2 to villain5.4, maybe I should try 5.3 since folks are having odd, sporadic issues.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Based on the american rom, they removed all languages other than English and Spanish. This should be fixed in 5.5
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melodaf:
I am not sure about that. If you install 5.4 with wipe you can't change lockscreen wallpaper. If you flash over 5.3 with no wipe than you can change it.

Maybe a similar thing happens with the calibration bug.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drspikes:
Re - stuck on spinning boot screen.

2 methods - if you have another way of getting files onto the SD card you can download and install Hotfix1 - go to the Villain website to find this.

Otherwise, if you pull the battery out when it gets stuck and reboot, the phone will get progressively further and further through its initial boot. It took about 5 boots to get through the entire process. Don't pull the battery out too soon though, it does take a while. Wait, say 5 min between each new load.

Only if you make a wipe. But I advice you dont wipe, in that way you will keep your configuration and WILL BE ABLE to change lockscreen wallpaper.

But you can always make a Titanium back-up, just in case ;)
