Some of the feaures in the Legend aren't in this ROM :( Like the colourful tabs at the bottom of music, people etc. I know its a small thing but I really liked it before. I'm 50-50 on the new skin. I like the notification bar but not the buttons at the bottom. I also don't like the thing in the music player when you select an artist and the albums are expanded instead of being on a new page.

But all these things are just personal preference and nothing to do the with the amazing job that Nathan has done :D The rom is super fast which is pretty much the only thing I care about in a ROM so overall I'm happy with it :)

Nice one thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raecarter82:
Thank you for this Rom it is superb even though I accidentally wiped my SD card trying to get a2sd working and after I that it still won't work. I had a go on the live wallpapers and feel they're a waste of time anyway? Friendstream must be a battery hog too? What's wrong withbookmarking your sites you use and going on the internet lol!

Or just using the facebook and twitter apps individually :)

VAT registration threshold is currently £70000+ in a 12 month period - that's one hell of a lot of donations! ;)

It would be taxable income as part of self-assessment, but then again you'd be able to deduct expenses incurred (e.g. hosting/bandwidth fees), so chance are any tax liability would be too small to worry about.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Plus the fact still remains that is is a donation, you are not paying for a product. The product just happens to currently be a benefit for those that have donated, your not being asked to donate for the said product.

i.e. it is not like selling an application

Unable to download MMS

Been using the CDMA port for a while now and it's fantastic, great work by NPRussell & everyone that contributed.

I do however have one particular issue which I can't seem to resolve. I am unable to download any MMS messages that are sent to me. I get a notification stating "Generic Network Failure". I have checked all APN settings are correct, have deleted them and re-added them but still suffer the issue.

Any helps or advice would be gratefully appreciated!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
The issue goes beyond the APN settings themselves.

you have two options, edit a file internally in the phone using ADB.

Use the application MMSZAP (which may or may not work).

For some reason the phones internal settings get stuck on the Sprint settings (as is a sprint based rom) and is a CDMA issue so has to be edited manually to work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shaxted:
Ok, ADB it is then, which file am I editing and what am I changing please :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Can't find the info right now (at work :P) someone else will probably post the link for you though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shaxted:
Is it the ADB edits as mentioned here LennyUK?

http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=42
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
Not quite true. Since the kitchen is only available to "donators" it is a service related to "membership" of a group (i.e. if you donate you become a member of a group of donators) and therefore from HMRC's point of view is a business activity for taxation purposes. Remember that just because you may consider it a donation or gift, doesn't mean that HMRC does and it always applies its own rules and logic to any given situation! ;)

Again though, in this case we're probably talking such small amounts of money that even HMRC doesn't really care.

And for the record, I don't care either! :)

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Well then the Law Society should really consider changing what they teach law students.

As the kitchen never existed before donations started and never even mentioned people were donating as a donation, the fact that a kitchen now exists does not remove the "gift" nature from that donation.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Thats the one.

how do i change my phone to uk regional setting its all u.s
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] havocnl:
I've read a lot on this great new rom and launcher and launcher 2 ???

What does this ROM use by default? How do you change them? and what is the HTC default for the Android 2.1 Sende???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shaxted:
Thanks LennyUK, worked a treat after entering it a few times via ADB.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sutty86:
also what is the kitchen?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Kitchen is an online way to easily "build your own" VillainRom.

Basically it has the villain rom 5.2 base then you can chose what you want to be included e.g. apps2sd, some apps, themes etc

It then builds your file and gives you an update.zip ready to download and flash, to your liking.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silvake:
HTC Quickoffice and PDF viewer

For those of you who are still looking for Quickoffice and PDF viewer (which are missing from the regular VillainRom 5.2 build), you can download them from here:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tchami:
Thanks. I have seen that thread, but it says:

"Again, ONLY for GSM Hero's not CDMA"

And this being a CDMA build, I did not flash it, but I take it that it's safe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kamirza:
5.2

fast is definitely the word. We still cant get to the groups because of which the people widget does not work. Any solution?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Larzje:
I've flashed the latest radio, and it is working. I made a call, used the internet and I'm having the Villainrom 5.2. So I guess it's safe.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Yes it is safe, this rom is just based on a CDMA build, but is made for GSM. It is not a CDMA rom.

You can't just turn your phone into a CDMA phone, its completely different, we all have GSM phones here so only ever put GSM software on your phone.

Is it normal that long sms were splitt of in 2 or more text messages? is there a setting ive missed?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jUsT2eXy:
it's normal.

it normally says 1/1 or 1/2 etc etc etc
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] krypta:
yeah but in previous roms like villain 4 or 3.4 the receiver gets just one long text message! now he gets 2 or more splitted messages! Sometimes 5 or more?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tobens:
second this !

a lot of people are pissed of getting splitted mails from me.. in handcent optiones the split option is unchecked... strange!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:

I will do what I can to fix this asap.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
I gotta say this is the best 2.1 ROM yet. And I've tried a lot of them. Where most of the other cooks/devs just give up and decide to wait for the official release, Nathan has just kept going. The results are outstanding.

Trackball

He,

Is it possible to light the trackball when you've received a message or missed a call, just like it did in 1.5 ROMS. I know it lights when you're receiving a call, but it used to blink/"breath" when you missed it. Or is it just me having some settings wrong?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] petsasj:
Hello guys,

I am fairly new to the HTC Hero, and i'd like to ask you a question about this ROM.

Do i have to go through a SPL and Radio update before installing this? (I will obviously root my phone, preferably using the unlockr.com's way)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cokbok:
I like your ROMs but with 5.1, sync did not work. With 5.2, WiFi and Bluetooth did not.

Restored the nandroid backup to previous version (HTC's 1.5 but rooted) and WiFi and Bluetooth started working again.

However, GPS does not work anymore. None of the navigation devices can find it.

I am having the latest Radio somewhere from XDA.

What should I do to get back the GPS working?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ptm:
Has anyone been getting random restarts on 5.22? I'm now getting random restarts at least two a day (that i notice).

I know some folk got this on the previous ROM, was there a fix?

I think some people thought it was task killer that was causing it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] WarheadNOR:
I like the ROM alot, but here is some bugs/things i cant figure out.

- Im not able to view only the Phone contacts in People. I have to view the SIM contacts also, so i have to either have both or just the SIM contacts.

- I can only send MMS while im connected with WiFi or Mobile Network. I am aware that MMS needs some kind of connection, but i have never been foreced to turn on my WiFi to send one.

Thats pretty much it, if someone has any solutions, Im happy to hear them!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Larzje:
I didn't have the gallery either, pulled it from 5.1 using Commander (I believe the 3D gallery was working correctly on this on) and pushed it into my current 5.2(2) ROM and it's now working flawless.

I hope you understand it, if not, just ask again :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] the1theycalldave:
nope i dont understand.

how do i do that?

is the rotation bug working fine?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Larzje:
Never mind. Somebody else having an easier way (or one better explained)?

P.S. once I had it working, rotation is fine.

Great to see VillainROM improve! Do you know about the email application silently denying self-signed certificates, making IMAPs not work for me? Other ROMs (and the official HTC Hero one) ask what to do.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] colonel_lp:
great rom.. fast....

any news on fixes for mms.. i have tried the settings mentioned in the other thread, but no luck... If anyone on t-mobile uk gets it to work, could they pm me the settings... cheers...

also, in Messages.apk >settings>connection settings... why are the options greyed out?

EDIT: was looking at the wrong fix.... i know you guys are really busy with loads of important stuff, but maybe a link to the fix on the front page? i dont think everyone has got into their head to use the http://villainrom.co.uk rather than this one yet.... there is another mms fix thread on this site that confuses the issue.... anyway.. here is what i did for those that are interested....

adb remount

adb shell

cd /data/data/

cd com*telephony/databases/

sqlite3 telephony.db

update carriers set mmsproxy='149.254.201.135', mmsport='8080', mmsc='http://mmsc.t-mobile.co.uk:8002' where name = 'Production';

.quit

exit

remember to use your own settings......

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] havocnl:
Although i have read many posts on GPS working and not working it seems that the "bug" that was already present also exists in the 5.2 version.

I have tested it total of 5 times with different types of boot (GPS on/off etc) and i still is the case that GPS will only work if it was activated before (re)boot. I was hoping to find another way, but is seems like you still need the workaround.

On another matter, could it be an idea to have a second post in this topic with a FAQ section. This will maybe help with all the reoccurring questions that are haunting this topic? Maybe just steal some from the other 2.1 ROMS (beHero has some already)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] inchia:
Hi all i have a Dub,is the G-sensor correctly working?

In this sense, the default calibration seems not to record correctly the calibration, as effect i see that many games that use G-Sensore are not calibrated unless i use internal game calibration. Obviously even LAYER don't work correctly.

Lucking around i have seen this is a probelm even of the HTC HERO default rom.

Is the problem present even on This ROM, or am I the only one with this issue?

Thanks for your grate work!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jUsT2eXy:
Hi, unless you do the following it will only work like you are describing it....

Download latest radio and put it onto sd card. Rename it update not update.zip (as it will then be update.zip.zip)

1) Turn GPS on.

2) Switch off phone and boot into recovery.

3) FLash new Radio.

4) Enjoy GPS without rebooting.

Voila.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Just to let you know, with most recovery images now you don't actually need to rename your .zip files.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Severok:

Before I updated the 3d Gallery fix it would load the pictures that I had transferred from my home camera to my phone. After I applied this update last night those same pictures do not load at all and the rest of the pictures seem to take a lot longer to load. Don't know why fixing the camera link would cause this.

So anyone got a way to remoive the 3d Gallery Camera fix as I would prefer to be able to see the pictures and load the camera from the launcher instead if it is causing this problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] havocnl:
Read my sign and check the radio version.

[edit] Flashing the radio rom with GPS on... Thats a new one... Does that really make a difference?

I would believe that flashing a radio rom will reset all settings and so forth to ensure no old setting from previous versions will interfere with the new flash... Ah well will try this later today. I'm at work at the moment.

Maybe post this in a FAQ on the first (or second) post?

P.S. with a decent recovery rom you can select the update file and the filename can be anything. (Use Amon-Ra's latest version, which imho is the best for Hero atm)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 123belly:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tbman1996:
Hey Nathan, thanks for your hard work, great ROM, prob gonna donate soon. :)

However, I have a few bugs to report on 5.2:

1. When there is a missed call / SMS, the trackball does not blink, even when enabled in the settings.

2. When pressing MENU to unlock, it brings up the menu on the homescreen as well. This is especially annoying as it interrupts the pretty weather animation. :P

3. FC when pressing camera button in Gallery3D (I presume it's linking to the android camera rather than the HTC one).

4. On the themed bottom bar in Rosie, the far left button glyph is lower than the rest, and the highlights for all the buttons are inconsistent.

5. Volume buttons don't work when playing music with the screen off.

These are the only bugs I have noticed with day to day use, it'd be fantastic if you could have a look at them.

Thanks and keep up the good work! :)

UPDATE:

Bug 2 and 4 are fixed by flashing this. However, this causes the following problem:

(transparent notification bar)

Bug 3 is fixed by flashing this. For many this causes the problem of images not loading in the gallery. To fix this, go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Gallery > Clear Data.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Guanarteme:
Strange different things happens to different mobiles. I have all pictures appearing in gallery, including videos and Picasa... and I have no idea how you could too. Try refalshing the fix and rebooting.

On my device, apps2sd does not work, even after a full wipe, re partition of my SD, etc. But it worked perfectly on previous Villain ROMs.
