Everything is OK on Villian 5.4 but there is one BAD thing,

after 3-4 phone restart, digital clock is disappeared in the right top corner...

What the matter?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] paolo1976:
I have 2 request:

1. How to check if app2sd is working? I can't format my sd, is there a way to check if i have ext3 in use with the rom?

I checked /system/sd/app and is filled with my installed apps so i think is right.. but the free memory is 19 of 165, and i have half of the apps i had on modaco 3.2..

2. Live wallpaper fix is working for anyone?

Thanks

rebooted without any probs.

no difference. still "unable to start wifi" message in settings

mac-address not shown in "about phone" hardware info. whatever this knowledge might be good for.

I noticed that both TrevE and damageless have now fixed wifi on the cdma build. Hopefully they will fill you guys in on what they had to do, and fingers crossed its the same.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] binario77:
Am I right in assuming that the reason that Wifi isn't working is due to the kernel not being compiled with the correct driver? I suppose the source code is not yet available which may make it difficult if this is the case.

I took a risk and didn't wipe the Ext partition. At first the phone wouldn't boot but I did an ./adb logcat during boot to reveal that the problem was Shapewriter so removing this from the app and app-private directories got the phone booting again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
@mattyguk when did they get it fixed? On phone so surfing is hard...

@all if you use T-Mobile UK, and the 3g bug annoys you, try this Rom. It is a cdma port, so like Eris roms, it is fixed.

This is now my stable daily Rom...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
@ guy above me,

Not quite. The drivers are external to kernel, we just need to figure out why they dont load.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mattyguk:
@anon2122 Originally i believe this was the person who fixed it first............

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6002285&postcount=473

Plus damageless' main download of ROM now includes a lot of the fixes including his wifi one (which was added to the main ROM, i believe as of 27/03/10 about 11:25pm).

After reading the cdma thread i'd suggest 'darchstar' probably knows that ROM inside out as he kept popping up with all sorts of fixes so he might be worth a quick call too.

well nice and very fast rom.. but.. i have enabled sync for gmail, exchange, facebook and weather.. and its syncing all the time. :S

btw: can you use one set of apps, and them.. its a compliantly different set of programs on every rom that you are giving out! :)

and why cant you use torrents to release the roms? it can be faster for everyone then i hope :) just like linux distros are using it..

anyway very nice work :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Legend one doesn't/wont work IIRC (can't remember if it's been tried, but I don't think it would either).

Useful, but non-ideal workaround. What is NBPCD? I don't recognise that term...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Are you having trouble with the fast mirror? (see http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=40 and take the top link)

These mirrors are likely faster than torrents during initial release. There are usually 4 mirrors for ROM releases (UK, EU, Canada and US), but I was out this morning, so I only made 1 on the fast (EU) server.

Did you have trouble downloading it? I pulled it from another mirror also in this post to that server (to make the mirror) at about 5 megaBytes per second(ie. 40mbps) , so they seemed to be fast enough ;)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK. This doesn't make sense :(

Could you download connectbot and try the commands there (you'll need to do a 'su' first and allow the permissions). I'm wondering if there's a root issue for you...

you can do these commands (I actually did this on connectbot as I had no USB lead today)

//open connectbot and connect to local
$ su (note it may appear as # for some reason, but still do su)
//allow permissions
# cd data
# cd data
# cd com*telephony (try this, I did it, as I'm lazy at typing)
# cd databases
# sqlite3 telephony.db
//do commands here inside sqlite

Not trying to be patronising, but I'm so stuck with this one I'm going to just check out the obvious.

Did you run the sqlite command itself as shown above? I know it's obvious, but I guess it could be missed
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raajkay:

about the split SMS, as i understood, its a problem related to the fact that this ROM is a CDMA leak, that is the reason it cannot send "long" SMS.

thx in advance
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stupiduglyllama:
message conversations very slow to open.

Hi,

I'm fairly new to all this. I was using the stock Orange Rom on my hero, but was getting bored wih it. So I rooted it,and successfully installed villain 5.4. Restored all texts, using Mybackup Pro. However, loading conversations in the messages application takes an absolute age, I'm talking minutes for me to view messages. I followed instructions on how to root on an Android forum. Everything else seems to work great, but this is really frustrating. Would formatting my sd card help? Suggestions would be greatly received. I don't want to switch back to 1.5..

Cheers.

finding update package...

can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (no such file or directory)

Im sure missing somthing here..

What els? all ideas are welcome :o

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] msc125:
i had the same issue, got it sorted- but i don't know how! so i'll run through what i did;

1) press call, menu and end call keys simultaneously to re-boot. quickly press and hold home until you're at the recovery menu.

i wiped everything, flashed again and re-booted.

or

2) connect to pc via usb, and reboot, and leave connected to pc throughout boot

or

3) keep re-booting and persevere

like i said, i'm not sure which one of the above (or combination) worked, as my attempts were more frantic than structured!

i suppose it would be easiest to try 2) first, then 1)

good luck
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bent_e:
This happened to me also. When it is gives you the errors in the bootmenu, choose the option to mount the SD card on the PC. Copy the update zip-file from villainromupdater/updates/ to the root of the SD Card. Unmount the SD Card from the PC again and choose the option to manually update the firmware with the update-zip you just copied.

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

I'm coming from Modaco 3.2 and didn't pass through the spinning bootscreen.

Steps I took:

1) Wipe data (factory reset)

2) Flash VillainROM 5.4

3) Turn off & on and flash Villain Bootfix

4) After some boot attempts (after a while screen freezes) and resets (call + menu + end)

I gave up and restored Modaco 3.2.

Maybe I did something wrong? What should I do?
