[ROM] VillainROM 5.5 (With OTA Updates & Stock Rosie)

Postby nathan » Tue May 04, 2010 12:51 pm

THE OTA UPDATER IN THIS ROM IS THE WRONG VERSION. PLEASE INSTALL uploads/VillainROMUpdaterV4-signed.zip. PULSER
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MattX:
Hi! I just installed the villain Rom today. Everything is fine, but I have got two huge problems. My mobile net isn't working, and I get updater force close problem, but I updated the villain update for this problem. Please help me, I really wanna use this Rom but without the -mobile net I can't.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] guguxfr:
I've read somewhere that OTA updater does a FC if the data network is not available when it's launched at startup.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ettore2379:
Hi guys,

I've on my Hero the last 5.4 version. I'm reading about some problems with 5.5...in your opinion is it better to install? The 5.5 version improve the speed and stability?

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
5.5 is a fantastic rom, what problems are you referring too?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] killerbyte:
I have been running 5.5. since it was released and have been having no problems. Excellent ROM. VillainROMs are now my favourite with MoDaCo being my second choice.

But with the stability and speed of the VillainROMs I have no need or desire to change.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MattX:
Hi!

Free space

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how much free space they have after installing 5.5 after a full wipe? Mine was around 99MB. After downloading a few Apps the free space decreased to 52MB.

I had applied the APP2SD fix someone had posted on the forum but after running it my Market and all installed apps disappeared and my free space increased to 93.6MB.

I have an ext4 partition and I think that the APP2SD is working, any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hello, I just wanted to know if aftre a fresh install of vilainrom 5.5 anyone has OTA updates.....because I don t have any.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ducamie:
how'd you get the HTC widgets etc on 5.5?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
what widgets? you mean every widget? or extra ones like battery?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ducamie:
the htc digital clock and calendar etc

ive only got the google android analogue clock after a wipe and flash
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
try to clear the data for HTC Sense in your apps manager list.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] guguxfr:
Ok, figured it out.

You have to install 5.5 AND APN fix together, otherwise you don't sync correctly when you enter your google account at the initialization of android.

That is when you have wiped.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ducamie:
thanks, it just loads back without the htc widgets though

maybe it was bad flash or something

ill try manually formatting the sd partitions and reflashing. i just thought it was normal.. so prob worth a reflash since other things might not be working also
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
clear your sd card of anything that you don't need, i.e. anything that is not your music, pictures etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kingkeld:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zekharyahu:
Hmm, doesn't work for me! Still no mobile (data) network available.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
you then have to go to your apn list and press menu then reset to default.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaitos:
Great ROM, very fast and stable.

There is one small thing that bother me with sense : when using quick contact (pop up menu when clicking on a contact) the choice of phone number or email is not possible. With non sense 2.1 there is another pop up menu to chose which phone or email you want to use.

I guess it is using the first number by default. Is there a way to have this second menu operating with sense because I use it a lot (contact shortcuts on desktop) ?

Villian 5.5 version is really good. Fast stable. I think it's the best 2.1 rom out there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vivmar:
i don't know why,my phone is veeery slow to boot and every time will crash some appz like "eray" or "power widget".The entire boot process take about 15 minutes...

after that is all ok...any idea?

Edit:By unistalling these appz all works ok..so,my new question is:Why some programs doesn't work on this rom?

No Data, no update

Hello guys,

Please help!

I have no Data connection, though it is set in settings. I have applied this fix linked above, but it makes no difference.

Anybody had this issue and managed to sort it??

Thanks!

Mark.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fredphoesh:
Hello,

I have the same problem, have tried this, and "Restoring default APN settings" just stays on screen, does not actually reset, then times out...

Any other way of doing this (other than wiping and starting again?)

HTC keyboard mod

Just to say that the HTC_IME_MOD is back to v19, whereas their was a patch for to get v24 on 5.4... Is that a problem if I install the 5.4 patch on this 5.5 ???

BTW, this version is amazing ! It quite as fast as ModaCo 3.2, but running 2.1 :D And battery life is amazing (about 1% drop in 4/5hours without any use).

But I'm still encountering the navigation bug : I can't find where to find the navigation app. Either in gMap or 'Navigator', can't find it... Any idea ?

EDIT : I also can't find the 'install app on sd' setting which allow you to install every new app on the sd card... Can someone remind me where it is pls ?

Some questions.

Every since I upgrade from the Legend build. I found 5.4.4 the fastest and stable ever VillianROM for my dailly usage.

Now there is 5.5 GSM. My 5.4.4 OTA updates can't seem to detect.

May I know what is the major difference between this two version? I notice this is a GSM version, does it mean that I can manage my SIM card contacts with this version?

Please advise as I am plan to upgrade to this build if it more stable than 5.4.4 and fully capable of my GSM Hero. I also wish to know whether is wipe a necessity?

Thanks for the wonderful rom :)

Hello,

I tried to change my user agent but it doesn't seem to work on VillainRom 5.3

When I go to http://whatsmyuseragent.com/, that it detects my original user agent like that it doesn't use the modified file /data/data/com.android.browser/shared_prefs/com.android.browser_preferences.xml :-(

I'd like to change it because I couldn't see tv on orange portal now :-(

And anyone manager to get ad-hoc network work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robinjives:
Hi,

For putting an MP3 as an alarm, create a folder

\media\audio\alarms\

Any Mp3 files located in here will be available for selection in the Alarm.

Similarly

\media\audio\notifications\ for notification sounds

\media\audio\ringtones\ for ringtones

5.5 is out now for a while so I was wondering if anyone could share their experiences with the battery life.

I still use 5.4 but the battery doesn't even last a day with normal use. I use 3G/WiFi/Bluetooth etc only when needed. Hopefully, the battery life in 5.5 is improved dramatically :D

Hi All, Im new to this forum. I recently swapped my T-Mobile Pulse (+ money) for a Hero (UK T-Mobile branded G2)!

Im currently using the Modaco 3.2 custom rom (with no problems at all) and have so far tried BeHero 2.1 (which worked really well, but had some random fc's).

Im gonna try this rom today but just wanted to know if anyone has done a rom comparison table? (BeHero vs VillainROM vs etc....)

Something with details of what works and what doesnt on each rom would be a big help. Ive searched but had no luck.

Thanks in advance...

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MattX:
Hi Guys!

I just wanna ask something in connection with the ROM.

Im totally beginer in phone roms. When i turn up my hero, and i go to Advanced task killer, i see 94-105 M free. And no apps running.

After 1 day, when i shut down all of my apps, and i see no apps running, there is 35-40 M free.

How can i clear it? Is my phone slower when there is less M free?:):confused:

An other thing:

Can you take the PDF viewer into this ROM, or make an incremental update?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
This is because advanced task killer has 3 different options of showing the running processes, connected to the safety of your device, though.. you can close all processes...

follow this:

1. open advanced task killer

2. press the menu button

3. select settings

4. scroll down to security level

5. open security level

6. select low

7. press the back key, then press on close selected processes.

Now you'll get a whole bunch of processes, if you kill them all it won't harm your device, the only thing is that the HTC Sense has to reboot, so your device won't be quicker. :P

If you don't want htc sense to close, or any other launcher; don't close "com.htc.launcher" if you use another launcher, DESELECT that launcher process, or the launcher has to reboot after you close advanced task killer.

I hope I helped you ;D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rayjt9:

I can not understand . iPhone 2G has a slower processor compared to our hero and can run better games ! Whats the problem with our hero ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
it's the software running..

apple had made a very solid and clear OS, it doesn't have the options to background etc.

and i think the drivers for the iphone are better, but the Hero will come with this too ;-), i think nprussel can easily make a rom that can run on 35 FPS(benchmark) but the rom wouldn't have any functionality..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
you're welcome ;-)

and just experiment a little with the processes, it can't harm your phone, if something crases just reboot the phone and everything will work as it should ;D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] El Salvador:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thunderglaive:
Mine has been 1½ hour about this. Can i take the battery out and in.. And then try maybe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
yup just do that, it won't harm your phone..

i hope you made a NANDROID??

if you take out the battery and your hole phone doesn't want to live anymore then restore the NANDROID.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thunderglaive:
No i didn't :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
ummm, well take out the battery, DIRECTLY boot into the recoveryrom(on boot hold home+power-on button), make a NANDROID and then reboot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thunderglaive:
Cool i will.. But it seems like the backup takes long time too?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
when your in the recoveryrom, and you do a nand + ext. backup, it should start and you see these dots being more like this(.........) but than way more.

if the dots keep coming it is busy with backingup everything, and it can take some time, but it can't take up to 1 hour or something..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thunderglaive:
Nandroid backup is now complete.. I rebooted and now again (You know the white stuff which goes on the HTC's bootscreen which is sliding) - It's just stucking and doing nothing
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
you mean when the text HTC appears, or when "quietly brilliant" appears?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thunderglaive:
No i mean the gray HTC logo. The white slide is stucking
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
umm... then reinstall the rom, just perform a full wipe and reflash the whole rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jendrassik:
I have noticed a thing but i'm trying to figure out whether it is a bug or a function...when someone calls me, the ringtone starts normally, but when i take the phone in my hand, the ringtone fades in lower volume...is it normal?

P.S. just realized it is a 2.1 function!! Found it in Audio submenu! Great thing imho!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thunderglaive:
Okay. I am dead. I'm not getting any error when i ONLY take Nandroid backup. But im getting an error when i take nand + ext
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
yes this is an feature in android.

this is totally normal, you can turn it off if you prefer that..

howto turn on/off:

1. Open settings

2. goto Sound & Display

3. Scroll down a bit till you see "quiet ring on pickup"

4. there you can turn this feature on or off ;-)

i hope i helped :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
the error is totally normal.

now just reflash the whole rom from a .zip from your SD card.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thunderglaive:
ybinnenweg.. Is it possible to get back to my old HTC 1.5 android rom? Or is there any solution on my problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thunderglaive:
Okay. I did reflashed the whole ROM. Shall i reboot? Or is there anything else i should do
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
um... yes you can get back to your 1.5 rom i think, i'm not sure..

try this:

1. Download the OFFICIAL HTC UPDATE 1.5

2. Put your phone into the recoveryrom

3. now connect the phone to your computer

4. i'm not sure, but if; your computer should recognize your phone, now try to launch the HTC update(ruu)

5. If step 4 doesn't work, first put your phone in USB mode in the recoveryrom(there should be an USB toggle there..)

i'm not sure if this helps, you can atleast try ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
just reboot. and see what happens
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thunderglaive:
I will try. I tell you if it's stucking again
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thunderglaive:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
w8 a little time, then just try to flash the 1.5 rom as i explaint at the previous page.

could you maybe take a picture were it's stuck?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thunderglaive:
You see where i made a red circle.. There is a little white slider. That stucked.

Where can i find the HTC rom? (android 1.5)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
at the official HTC page, lemme see...

http://www.htc.com/nl/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=283&act=sd&cat=all

if you got it from t-mobile take the t-mobile rom, if it's from orange take it from orange, if you just got a stock HTC Hero take the one without anything behind it ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thunderglaive:
Okay nice. Thank you :) You think it will stuck again when i install the official?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
i don't even know if it will work the way i explaint...

it's just a guess if it will work..

but i think if the official rom installs, your phone will be fine again.. remember that you have to reroot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thunderglaive:
Hmm.. I guess the official rom is something which needs to be installed from the computer. I cant even Access to my SD-card from recovery
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
yes i know it has, but i say connect your phone to your phone to your computer, and than start the update(ruu)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thunderglaive:
Cool. Thank you. I will try tommorow, i'm tired of problems

.. Do you think it will work?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
yes you can, but it's pretty weird, if you search on the market on "nexus" you'll find the live wallpaper, with some customizations..

but when you set the wallpaper, it works, then put your phone in standby for like 1 minute, and you'll see that the livewallpaper has gone, and your standard wallpaper(that you had before) has been enabled...
