Morning all. Thanks Nathan for this! Can I ask a question I am going to try initially to flash without a wipe? If this doesn't work on the green screen what do I actually wipe I've been running a2sd in the past and remember setting up some sort of partition? Is it full wipe, extra wipe or do I wipe one of the other thi to get a2sd working? Thank you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] flipper203:
Can someone mirror the new version on something else than rapidshare please, I m at work and I don't have access to it or villairom wiki

Thks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tbman1996:
Hey Nathan, thanks for the great update :)

After the update, my HTC Music widget seems to have gone walkies though :/ It was the widget I used most often, so I'd appreciate if you could give me some hints as how to get it back, and .apk perhaps?

Btw no wipe

-Thanks again

EDIT: Back after Soft Reboot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Just donated. Keep up the good work!

When is the Vanilla version coming?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GertAage:
Telephone .apk

I have tried almost every 2.1 ROM outthere since the community release! There are con and pro´s with all of them!

I feel the real breakthrough came with the Eris/legend and this CDMA port, mostly speedwise though! As some of the older ROM´s had better all-round functionality!

With the three latest ports I get one major problem though! The telephone functionality is slow. No good for me as I still use my hero as a phone. The slowest has been the Villain 5.02cdma, fastest the Legendroid 1.0.1. When my phone rings I hardly ever manage to answer it, before it shows a missed call!

I have been thinking though, whether it has something do do with the "automem. killer-something :-)" as it seems worse when the phone rings from sleep-mode! As if the phone-apk has been killed and has to startup from scratch?

Has any of the Dev´s had same thoughts and tried to do something about it???

Great work alltogether though ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ilbulgaro89:
how about the keyboard? In VROM 5.1 I've found that writing with T9 imput it's very slow...a very annoyng problem for me, cuz i write a lot during the day....

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
As a donator - you'll have access to a kitchen soon which should allow you to automatically strip this down to a semi-vanilla rom. ;)

what's wrong with it???

i have used the a2sd fix, and it looks like /data/app -> /system/sd/app is not reachable
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
How weird. Never seen that one before.

It's falling to copy into your Data folder, not data/data!

Try a full wipe again... please let me know what happens mate.

Wifi does NOT work for me. This is the first time I have wifi not working on any rom.

I reflashed the latest radio rom, reflashed 5.2 2 times, both times with full wipe, and wifi is not working. I can connect to a network as usual but then I have no data coming through this connection.

Help please?

NEVERMIND, it is working, the wifi i was connect to had problems.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ratson:
please check my updated post, there is a better explanation.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reidefors82:
flashed over 5.1, seems to work very good so far
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosmiq:
What languages are included in that update? Seriously thinking about flashing this one... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Can't wait.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] art_sn00p:
Did full wipe+dalvick cache wipe.

wifi is definitly not working properly.

1. Turn wifi on. All is good, we've got ip address ant network connectivity. Wifi icon is lighting on top.

2. Phone is locked with wifi on. Unlocking it after few minutes. Wifi icon is over there, we got wifi checked in settings, our network in the list but network is down. No ping. Have to turn wifi off and on again to start working. Never had problems with my access point with many other ROMs

Another issue with market.

1. Tryed to download seesmic over 3g. it started do download, have 32% before I enter suburban and have temporaly network unreachable.

2. After getting network back I have no notification of download complete, 32% of active download in notification area and seesmic installed in menu))

Phone reboot didn't help. 32% again.

I did uninstall of seesmic and install it again. It didn't help! All is done succesfully but 32% is forever in my notification area!

After this trick of uninstall-install again, 32% is gone after few minutes ))
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adtr1972:
nprussell, is there any solution to run the morelocale2 completely and enjoy your wonderful rom in Spanish.

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reza_baher2001:
thanks

best rom ever tested

from 15 roms this is finally my rom

thank you my friend (you'r my android now) ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ratson:
ok, i removed /data/app link and it is now applied, waiting for first boot to finish, hopefully with success :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
WIFI ISSUES:

- There is no issue with WIFI on this ROM. All WIFI drivers are identical to the previous version. So... check your router.

MARKET ISSUE:

- I just had the same problem with my STOCK HTC Desire. Seesmic and Cubed are still showing in my notification bar, as I lost signal whilst they were downloading.

Hence, neither are problems with the rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Good stuff :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ratson:

Good stuff

Same here, but how do I remove /data/app link (phone is not booting now)?

thanks.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] art_sn00p:
Excellent work nevertheless!

I've got Wifi-sleep policy set to 15 min. After switching to sleep policy "Never" all is working perfectly.

Guess that it is some kind of 3g issues. Phone have to change wireless to 3g after 15 minutes of inactivity in locked state, according to sleep policy. Guess it didn't (( After unlocking only wifi icon is in notification area. But in other ROMs I've noticed that it should be 3g icon for a few seconds and wifi again after that.

And I'm very curious about getting rid of unfinished download icon in my notification area. Any ideas?)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ratson:
in recovery open a command prompt:

adb shell rm /data/app

and you are good to go.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:

No Frienstream though :(:(:(:(:(:(:(

SIM Toolkit

Good job, Nathan.

Flashed last night and so far it's performing just fine (a2sd, wifi, sync, 3D gallery, camera, imported apps, the works...).

However, I think I found a serious problem though (and it seems it's present in all the 5.x releases): the SIM Toolkit is missing.

This application is factory-built in the SIM and (probably because of the ROM's CDMA legacy) it's not enabled in VillainROM. Other eclair roms have it, only the cdma-ported ones totally ignores it.

Now the problem is that I need this sim tool because I'm using a Vodafone dual-SIM (2 Vodafone numbers provided by a single sim-card) and the only way to switch between those numbers is through the SIM Toolkit menu.

Any tip on where I should look to fix this?

Anyone else found this too? Guess not.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
thanks will flash later
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Snepscheut:
Thanks for the quick answer but... sorry for my next question:

How to open a command prompt in recovery (using RA-hero-v1.6.2)?

Or do I need to shell in from a PC? and if so: How?

sorry for asking.

Jos.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] art_sn00p:
No sim-toolkit too. CDMA-ports couldn't work with sim cards (((( Guess it is impossible (or very hard) to enable.

Maybe USSD could help?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reidefors82:
I still wish there was a "reboot"-option in the Rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ratson:
@HomerSP could you please check why dalvik is not moved to sd? i have no time do look deeper inside...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
Keyboard is very laggy, I have turned off vibration and checked the setting but it's easily 2 or 3 characters behind when I am writing texts.

There is very little in the speed difference between 2.1 and 2.2, just my opinion of course.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeren:
Hi ,

i pulled out the sim tool kit apk from a gsm 2.1 android. try installing it and see if it works. cheers.

bafta!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
This will work. I forgot to include it that's all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alti4:
Install "Root Booter" from the Market. Then you'll have the options to "Normal Reboot", "Recovery Reboot" or "Bootloader Reboot". I have a shortcut on the homescreen for a quick access. Works flawlessly!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sperug:
Everything is working, thank's! But still I'm missing more languages in the keyboard, changing through morelocale is incomplete and troublesome ...

hi nathan:

very good job. the new rom it's amazing. for the moment, from yesterday nitgh, all of i need works fine. only a cuestion for you...

if this is a port of hero cdma usa... where are the language spanish files?

if you have omited them, for space cuestions, you could upload them for use in my hero?

thanks for all, and good job.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] trebiani:
GPS fixed?

had the same problem with my hero. i flashed and re-flashed with the newest radio rom and i also tried the new 5.22 version - without any luck :-(

thank you very much for the great release! i'll take a look at wakeup/sleeptime and battery drain, but i guess there will be no problem .....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] okdac:

Hi all,

Nathan, very very very good job and all the thanks that go with it !!

Hi All after a mourning of test i'm really happy about this ROM, very good job!

I have just noticed it:

The only problem I found out is with the Compass.

It is not correctly inizialising and is not changing the north direction rounding the Phone. I have tryed to recalibrate, but nothing change the north is always between 350 and 10° even if i rotate the phone by180°. It is not mandatory, but i hope knowing this problem can be usefull to you.

Installing from 5.1 naw i have 2 maps [brust] and normal, both of them working with multitouch! GRATE

I'm loving the speed and dedication in developing this rom.

I've been playing with the gallery app and i love it! One thing i'm struggling with however - How can i get the gallery app to connect with my flickr account? I have flickr connected up and can access my photos from the old skool "Photos" app.

Any thoughts, ideas or pointers?

Need a little advice

I have a question and its concerning flashing this rom on my htc hero.

I alrdy have a custom rom installed (1.6 Modaco)and the bootloader is version CynagogenMod v1.4 +JF so my noob question is , can i just rap this 5.2 update in a update.zip and just install it?

I know nothing about linux at all so i just want to make sure that i not brick my phone

I dunno if this is the right place to post such question but i figured this is a little but villian related

The new Gallery have never really worked for me. Slow loading pictures and long time blur.

Is the only reason slow SD-card?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] inchia:
A'm not a relly expert, but i think it is not a good idea to Flash differebnt ROMS (not from the same developper) one over the other one.

Yu'll probably need to WIPE (that mean reset you should have the option on your bootloader ROM) and the install from ZIP, another oprion in your bootloader.

If possible it is better if you update the bootROM to the new one you can find into the root of this forum.

I hope it help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chushev:
Same with me. Slow loading or not loading at all. I don't think that has anything to do with the SD card because I use a 8gb class 6 card. It must be a software problem.

Does anyone have the 3D gallery image thumbs loading fast?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
If your changing rom base you defiantely need to wipe. You might be able to get away with it if they are all on the same base

e.g. 2.1 eris leak to 2.1 eris leak.

As your wanting to move from a 1.5 rom (based on a 3 rom) to a 2.1 (based on a sprint rom) you definitely need to do a full wipe.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tbman1996:
Any chance of Delivery Reports in the next update? Cheers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reidefors82:
I did wipe between 5.02 and 5.1, and both did have the same gallery problems. 5.1 ´til 5.2 i did not wipe, but works fine except the gallery thumbs
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j0bro:
Oh well it doesn't really hurt, but I couldn't help noticing. What I also noticed, is that the "quietly brilliant" boot screen seems a little out of style among the stock Hero/Android robot screens that are mostly black.

Another thing: browser size detection works now! I went to http://tweakers.net/devicedetect again and my Hero is detected as a Samsung SGH T939 :confused: with user agent string:

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android Villain5.2; en-us; A6277 Build/ERE27) AppleWebkit/530.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/530.17 Sprint APA6277KT, for the first time with the correct screen resolution of 320x480 pixels.

The ROM is originating from this sucker I presume ;)

i just flashed the 5.2 update run through the setup then went back and applied the rosie update and its now working fine
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Just tried to load gallery for the first time since installing 5.2 (full wipe). I have an 8gb class 6 sd card (arrived yesterday).

Gallery loaded fully in about 5 seconds.

This leads me to believe that those of you with problems with it being slow it is almost certainly going to be an issue with the speed of your sd card.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mvm2010:
Flashing this rom

Ok thx for al the help so far. Its clear to me that i need to do a wipe my last remaining question is if my bootloader is up to date enough to install this rom since this is problay more then 8 months old.

This version whas cynogen 1.4+sf so a breakdown on how to flask would be

do a nandroid back up.

perform a full wipe

Download the 5.2 package and rename this to update.zip

flash the rom

is this correct?

thx in advance
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reidefors82:
i also have the 1.4 cynagoen, works fine
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
yeah that sd card is slow upgrade if you can would load everything much faster.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snaven:
have done some reading around and apparently to change the transparency of the vanilla lock screen an entry in the keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml file needs to be edited. this can be found in...

\system\framework\framework-res\res\layout\

the background color of an image needs to be changed.

i know how to extract the files in the framework-res.apk to give me access to the \res\layout\keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml

and i can edit the file.

but i don't know how to put them back together as an apk.

anyone with better knowledge able to take this on and run with it?

MMS Settings

I tried the MMS fix as outlined on the wiki page with no success.

After poking around in the database a while, I found that the active row / profile is marked with the field "current" which is flagged '1';

so for mine - Orange UK, I changed the Sql line to :

update carriers set mmsproxy='192.168.224.010', mmsport='8080', mmsc='ht tp://mms.orange.co.uk/' where current = 1;

Now I can send MMS

Go to app list > htc sense > clear defaults > press home button and select launcher 2

When home loads just set wallpaper like normal but chose "live wallpaper"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikecoffee:
hi

From the Home screen:

Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications > HTC Sense > Clear defaults.

Then you'll have access to launcher2 you can have live wallpapers on that home screen not sense
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alti4:
Another way is to install "Home Switcher" from the Market, then you won't have to clear your defaults
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikecoffee:

Or you could Install GDE then you'd have three home screens, then in stall open home and have four home screen I think then your phone would run as slow as a snail but still four home screens........
