Re: [ROM]26/04/10 - VillainROM 5.4: Release Version - for GSM HERO

You guys wipe the ext partition? It happened to me few time and wiping the ext partition resolved it.

You can try first by booting without the sdcard.

Villain Updater: is it working?

Mine (v5.4) says I have a new version v5.4.0 which should be exactly the one I downloaded from VillainRom website.

I've read about some updates live 5.4.1 and 5.4.2 but ... how can I get them with the updater?

Hi!

My ROM is a liiitle bit unstable

It feels that is not as fast as the old 1.5,

though this could be because of the 2.1 and not the ROM itself

But I managed to freeze my ROM twice,

on my first boot it frooze on "unlocking SIM card..."

and I just did it again by plugging the usb cable

sometimes when I select something the screen might delay for ~2secs before changing screen and tapping

Is this normal ?

Thank you for your hard work !

EDIT: Also that splash/boot screen with the blue raylights moving in circle,

can one change that ?

It's quite ugly :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SenorPoopypants:
Is it possible to replace the boot animation and add audio? I've found several useful links to creating a custom bootscreen, but the villain rom seems to be setup different from the /system/media format

2 bugs in VillainRom 5.x

Hello,

Have you exprimented these 2 problems?

- When I receive a new mail with my phone in sleep mode, my trackball doesn't blink, even with all options activated from settings menu.

- there is no option to enable delivery report for sms sent by me (to ensure that that the recipient received it) with "Message" application, because it works with handcent but I think it's not as nice as "Message" app presentation

PS: I'm using VillainRom 5.3 but I think it's availaible for 5.4

Thanks :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] irtehawesome:
Happen to anyone else?

So I rooted and loaded up VillainROM 5.4 onto my GSM Hero last night and this morning I receive an email from "Android Team" telling me how to enjoy all the features of the "nexus one" I just "got."

Thought it was funny.

Anyway. Anyone know why I can't delete or edit speed dial 2 or replace with a number I want (it's stuck on "customer service,*2)?

Another thing related to contacts...why is it that I can't seem to import from SIM? I choose that option from contacts and then get "create contact under account" to pop up and gives me the option of google and phone...nothing about importing my contacts from SIM.

freeze on boot with MANY roms??? Factory flash as a fix?

Hello guys,

I have had a similar problem, and have tried rebooting 10 times, over a period of a whole day!!! but no joy. I have re-wiped, re-wiped dalvig, no joy.

I have also had the exact same problem with other roms of this week...

SlideVillain 1.01

Behero 1.2

I can restore fine to my previous ROM (Raidroid) but cannot seem to try anything else.

I wonder if I should flash to the HTC factory rom first? Will that UNROOT my phone?

Thanks

Mark.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] targetal:
hey, thanks. wiping ext4 with apps solved the problem ! huh......so what one has to do is really a total wipe (factory settings + dalvik + app2sd ext4 part)

what You need to do is: Wipte to Factory Settings, Wipe Dalvik Cache, Wipe ext4 partition(or ext2?) if You're using APP2SD for apps.

RA-hero 1.6.x recovery console has all these options under Wipe menu. once it's done, you can happily flash the VIllains 5.4 or any other 2.1 and wait happily for the mobile to boot. I had exactly the same problems, been trying really dozens of times. always the same effect. wiping all these 3 things did the trick.

Spontaneous reboot?

Hi,

I am on 5.4.4, and I have now three times experienced a spontaneous mid-conversation reboot of the phone. It just cuts off the conversation and reboots.

I have tried searching the thread for this but honestly I get so many "reboot" postings that I could not find anything related. Hope this has not been asked too much.

Any idea what is going on, and even more important, how to fix it?

Thanks,

Hey, I searched this thread and couldn't find anything other than:

I've got a wierd situation where I need to put a different SD card with Copilot USA in when I travel to the states ( twice a month) so I've partitioned both SD cards I use, will APPS2SD just sort it out or will I have headaches, can I choose which core apps stay on the device and which are 'disposable' and can be put on the relevant SD cards.

Thanks

Matt

NB: It's ALK (copilots) f##kup not mine, their customer service and licensing is ****e.

Added: OK so my second SD card is in and nothing apart from the core processes work, not even Market, so I cant go very far! Help!

I tried getting market running then unmounting the SD card and replacing it but on insertion of the new card the phone reboots. Doh!

Wipe the Dalvik cache only. It's a pretty safe bet and you still get to keep your data/settings. It will take a while on first boot, though, since it will have to rebuild that cache.

I am afraid you can't do that dude. When you use APP2SD you create a link in the apps folder of the system that points to the SD. When you pull it out it's like having a pc which you pull out the hard disk where you choose to install all your programs. It wont work.

If I were you I would not create a ext2 partition in my sd cards and would use the internal phone memory for apps, if you really need to change SD in a frequent basis.
