any idea if the gps-restart-workaround is still needed with the new rom? would be great if this is not needed anymore.

.... i'm ready to flash ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
It wasn't needed anyway. It needed it once, then it worked correctly after.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mlanca:
when release the next version?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] trebiani:
GPS Reboot

well, interesting. i have the latest 5.1 version and _everytime_ i boot my hero with gps disabled it is not working --> enable gps and reboot is needed to get it working
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I'm at work... then I'm going to the gym... then home for dinner... then I have 2 changes to make...

So... probably 11pm UK time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] leinad:
+ 1

I always use "GPS Status" application, and it is clear from that application that, if my device was not booted with GPS enabled, there are no satellite detected ...

As soon as I reboot with GPS on, satellites are detected with no problem, and the fix is done in 20 to 30 seconds.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] colonel_lp:
have those people with GPS problems tried re-flashing the latest radio?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Too51oll:
I have and it doesn't help, well, it works right after reflash of radio till next reboot with GPS off :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cyberden:
I confirm the GPS issue. I have reflashed the radio and it doesn't seem to help. After rebooting with GPS on, I get a fix. After using it, I swith it off using power widget. At that point, my phone suffers a severe battery drain until I reboot with the GPS off. Then, I can't get a fix so I have to reboot with GPS on etc. etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raajkay:
Reflashing the radio worked for me. In fact, even the power control widget seems to be more responsive when turning on gps, BT and WiFi post the reflash. GPS is able to get a fix easily now.

Lucky you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] colonel_lp:
just tried a reboot with gps off, and it works fine.....

i have noticed that if i flash any updates or push any files, i need to re-flash the radio again.....

How strange that we all have the same hardware/rom, yet opposite results!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
Why would you want to turn off GPS anyway? It's actually only turned on when an application requests it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Too51oll:
Did anyone tried to change sim card. Every time I do it it can't connect to network itself, wheh I search for it I can see all networks but cannot connect (your sim cannot be registered to this network) so I have to reboot my phone. Sometimes more than once :mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Too51oll:
I guess we'll all have same results on official rom. Those PORTED roms are simply full of bugs that shows or not depends on 3rd party software, memory card perhaps etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bad4ss:
Really strange but my streaming of Youtube already works in this current version.

I watched a Youtube video that was posted on a website and it started streaming all the way to the end, strange that you had to fix it. Or is it that the Youtube app isn't streaming?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
what radio are you using? everybody who has a working gps (as in: reboot with gps off(<edit, forgot "off"), then turn gps on and get a fix), please state your radio version, thanks! and if you noticed something about battery life please comment as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ibanez33:
Please can someone tell me, is there a way of stopping it brining all the people on your facebook into your contacts and just sync pics etc of the people who are on my contacts list?

This is not particular to this rom I've had the same issue on every 2.1 rom I've tried so far.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] colonel_lp:
Radio: 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26

(no reboot required to use gps)

battery life seems ok...equates to about 24hrs + with not to much messing around..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Too51oll:
Radio version in my signature and I do have to reboot with GPS on to get it working.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dickie2007:
not all custom roms are ported, for instance, MCR is based on an official release, and the ASOP roms are fresh builds from source code...

FWIW...

Dickie
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Too51oll:
I had PORTED not custom in mind in my original post that's why I've edited it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dickie2007:
I know we're all fully aware of battery drain issues and causes, but 3 widgets i just deleted made a big improvement for me. I then went back to my MCR backup for a day, deleted the same 3 widgets and got an amazing increase in battery (like almost 24h on top)...

They were Internal Memory widget, SD card widget and Battery Left widget.

on MCR i was taking it off charge @7am, and would need it back on charge for 6/7pm latest (poor i know!)... now i can go till 7pm the following day! big increase...

This got me a better days usage out of Villian and other 2.1 ive tested, though not really enough to cope with GPS Nav use, which i use a lot everyday!...

May not be of any use to any of ya, but thought i'd throw it out there incase anyone is using these widgets.

Dickie.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cyberden:
I just tried right now. It seems that after having booted with gps off, i was able to get a fix. Unfortunately, the phone doesn't sleep anymore. i think that I will have to reboot it to make it sleep again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reza_baher2001:
;)

sorry for being rude dude

thanks for your great work

but i cant find sms delivery notification in this rom(maybe coz it's ported from sprint)

one more thing (sorry) navigation ?? 5.1 does'nt have navigation am i right?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] colonel_lp:
Ok, by trying to use a number of gps apps one after the other i got gps to break....

try turning airplane mode on, then off... seems to reset it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] crazyVII:
GPS does NOT WORK

GPS definitely does not work how it should / as good as in an old 1.5 Modaco Custom Rom.

Don't know why exaclty, updated Radio Drivers, also flashed them after flashing the rom, tried everything out.

Sometimes it works, dis-en-dis-en-abeling.... sometimes it doesn't...

reboot doesn't seem to have an effekt.

As Example, 1.5 gets a GPS signal from my pocket, and can record a track...

this one doesn't...

it should defenitiley be mentioned that it DOES not WORK completely...

somewhere, somehow.. it acts strange^^;=) :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maatn:
i just flashed the rom but i hangs on the bluescreen forming a blue X. so, it stopped forming it, lick it hanged. im not quite sure what to do. waiting for ~10minutes now.

i flashed about 7roms before and every flash went good so far.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] princedwi:
Chances are you probably forgot to wipe from your previous few roms. Try and wipe, you should least get past the rom's loading screen.

thnx it works now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raecarter82:
All this jargon is over my head will this fix be included on the Rom that is rumoured to be put on tonight?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phazon:
hi,

i totally uninstall facebook, twitter, flicker, mail and the widgets associated because i don't use them.

And I must say, this rom is really really great.

It's quick and stable, everything works as i want.

you did a really really great job.

Just one thing, i'm used to make the keayboard disappear with the arrow in the left corner, but now there's a smiley instead :/

But. what did you do with battery drain ????

My hero is up for 48h, and i still have 60% of battery .... this is awesome \o/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lusephur:
look at the keys on the keyboard, you'll see a cog above a symbol, can't recall right niw,

long hold the key and press the cog, in the menu that opens deselect the smiley option, now either kill the keyboard with an app manager or reboot and what do you know, smiley button gone :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] danial.aw:
hey u go into the settings for the keyboard and to get the "arrow key" u have to deactivate the "smiley hack" ... or alternatively u can activate the "swipe to hide" hack and keep the smilies....

AFAIK, the Radio image is located in a different memory area, so it remains unchanged when you perform a full-wipe from the recovery's menu or flash a new custom rom.

However, it can be overwritten when flashing from a RUU (i.e. flashing an official ROM, which usually includes a radio image).

Re: [ROM]08/04/10 - VillainROM 5.2: RELEASE CANDIDATE - for GSM HERO

launcher is enabled in 5.2 if its not clear the sense defaults, then press home.

when the window pops up tick the box that says default and press home, then you'll auto get directed to home each time.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tron13:
ok thank you...

if i want to uninstall all of the sense files/services, wha i have to do...

or do you have any stable and fast eclair rom? im just try the ahero and when im trying to change the volume i get FC. i need a very clean 2.1 for hero
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ricostuart:
dont bother. not worth the hassle as you will end up with loads of problems and not a fast rom. Best get an ASOP or vanilla rom.

Great rom overall.. all streaming seems to work (except BeebPlayer which i think is a unique problem tbh). Gallery is working nicely and all is well ;)

Re: [ROM]08/04/10 - VillainROM 5.2: RELEASE CANDIDATE - for GSM HERO

English and Spanish keyboards I believe.

its very fast WiFi seems a lot better, it streams fast gps lock try it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Minimad:
I think only Spanish.

It's an CDMA (read American) based ROM so only English and Spanish would be built-in as they are the two main languages used within the US.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Roz3buD:
hello everyone, and congrats to you Nathan for all your efforts.

I just flashed the new 5.2, and I'm actually stucked on the "hero" boot screen for more than 10 minutes now.

Any clue?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] princedwi:
Hm, a gleaming bug here with 5.2 RC:

- With Launcher 2, pressing home watching midway through a youtube video will have a black screen, but you can reboot phone through power button. Looks like some strange glitch.

Will report that and some more at http://villainrom.co.uk/bug.

Thanks Nathan for your work!

EDIT:

FC - Process com.htc.bg is not responding, Process android.process.acore is not responding, and Application Touch Input (in process com.htc.android.htcime) is not responding upon the third bootup of this rom (first time went fine, second time was due to the youtube bug previously mentioned, third time was for replicating). Probable cause is Launcher 2. I'm also using the Vanila Lockscreen and Clock update.zip.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mantrajt:
Just spanish keyborad or spanish language of the phone?

Friendstream?

Htcmail and calendar with all Legend features?

Phone lag?

Please tell so if when I get home I flash it or not...I`m currently on Villian 4 beta 2, Legend based and I like it a lot except for the phone lag and some speed issues....so I want to know before a full wipe!!!!

Hi everyone :)

I was wondering if anybody knows how to convert a COMPRESSED BMP into a non-compressed, "regular" BMP?

Here's an example what I'm trying to achieve:

http://fastfreefilehosting.com/file/35537/BMP-zip.html

Also, does "MIF" ring a bell in this matter? I was told that the compression method is called "MIF" but I don't have the slighest clue what that is:confused:

Hi,

Got a question. I am installing and playing around with different ROM's. I am getting tired of setting my Vibrate and ring, my ring tone, Active Sync email settings, bookmarks you know all the ones you have to reset after you flash etc...

If I use PIMbackup will that do it for me? after I flash a different ROM or is there another way?

Thanks
[HD2 General] the_scotsman:
PIMBackup won't. I think SPB Backup has a ROM Upgrade feature, but I don't think even this will work where you switch ROMs because of the different OS builds etc...
[HD2 General] richsark:
Ok, I can respect that. So if I stick with the same ROM then SPB backup will work? but not PIMBackup right

BTW... is SPB Backup Free?

Thanks
[HD2 General] the_scotsman:
Yep, it should work if you stick with the same ROM. I don't think it's free, but it's not much...
[HD2 General] richsark:
Ok, if that's the way, then I will invest in that app.

Thank you
[HD2 General] Z900:
Yes I can confirm...SPB Backup works great with the same ROM.

If I had a Custom ROM and all the applications installed and it works great...I made a backup. Then I can play around with a different ROM. Can go back if

I want the previous.

WORKS great !
[HD2 General] richsark:
Ok, so I can play with totally different ROM's and keep my settings regardless of a ROM used
[HD2 General] rumz82:
To a certain extent though. Sometimes, some mods that u install on a partiqular rom may not work with another rom.These would usually be something relating to manila/sense. Also,as mentioned above, it may give issues with different windows build. For instance,mods done on a windows 6.5rom may not work with a 6.5.x rom. But i guess its all about experimenting.;)

systems settings(ringtones,notifications) remain most of the times though!
[HD2 General] monx®:
i think this might sound oldskool but its the only way it will work as u wish.

1- backup all your pim data (use any backup software)

2- export all registry (HKCR,HKCU,HKLM) when ur device is fully configured as u like.

3- hard-reset (take out ur sdcard if u hv UC) : export all fresh registry again.

4- compare all reg keys & take note on differents > create a .reg file.

5- create a cab from reg key created on step 4.

6- include the cab created from step 5 in UC list, then hard reset again or reinstall all cabs manually.

but a backup software with upgrade/update feature is recommended tho. :)
