[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DarthD:
I really like this rom im still learning about root etc and want to try apps2sd aswell.

I only encounter a few minor problems with this rom:

- sometimes my BT headset gets connected but dont passes the audio (i hear nothing) a unpair and pair again fixes this every time

- I cant change the speeddial under button 2 (because thats a number set for customer service

- i really miss teeter :D im currently waiting for my bank to transfer money to my paypal account so i can donate to this great project and use the kitchen

Keep up the good work :D im donating soon
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
the kitchen has teeter so when you donate and get access you can get it back :)

It's on there save it as stockrosie.zip go to astro manager move it to the root. Then flash it from other.zip the normal way then reboot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
Works for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vorcigernix:
launcher2 freezes

1) Thanks for your work. This ROM is amazing.

2) Until someone make vanilla version of this: what are correct steps to replace rosie with Launcher2? I tried same process as in stock ROM (clear defaults), but Launcher2 freezes and behave really unstable (even after restart) with acore and similar wait/kill dialogs.

I'll try launcher from cyanogen and report again..I am just not sure if I set launcher properly.

problem with long SMS

have an issue with sending a long SMS, it cannot be sent.

any fix for this kind of problem?

All othe features are working perfectly:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] scouzer:
Any chance Facebook sync will be fixed in 5.3? :)

EDIT: Nevermind.. it seems to be working now in 5.2
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] petsasj:
i also have the long SMS problem. is this a villain rom problem, or...?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ricostuart:
its not supported by the relevant american cell provider, so its not incorporated in the rom. When our rom (eventually) is released, this will be back.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] petsasj:
I see, thanks for the info - i was spending hours today trying to figure out why i cant send long sms's.

something else as well. I wanna move my apps and dalvik cache to my SD card (its a class 6). last time i tried to do that via amon ra's recovery it ended up removing(well they disappeared anyway) my apps and i had to reinstall them. will that happen if i do that via adb?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] A Dustman:
I love this ROM except for the speed, it runs way too slowly. My phone was faster before I rooted.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] scouzer:
Same here. This is slow slow compared with the stock ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] petsasj:
Something else:

Anyone else has streaming issues with TuneWiki? I can listen to audio but no video streaming is allowed because an error shows up saying the video cannot play.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dajones89:
phone has many references to america!!

the search results for me dont bring up uk sights (my bank etc)

and this

(i didnt just ring 999 to test it as that would be stupid lol,there was a fire in a local field)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rayjt9:
Hmm, maybe. But was your phone 2.1 before you rooted? ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] scouzer:
No, but 2.1 probably isn't worth it for the massive hit in speed. I'll try 5.3 then go back to 1.5.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raecarter82:
Try adjusting autokiller to "aggressive" then reboot your phone I noticed a vast improvement
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
I had a slow day at work yesterday so I decided to give Mr. Bang 2.0 a try.

This is supposed to be a lot faster then stock ROM but for me the speed wasn't that much better compared to Villain 5.2

I restored my nandroid after a few hours and it just feels the same speedwise. The only major difference might be battery drain but that's not a deal breaker for me.

I'll be definately using 5.2 and up from now on until we get an official update (modified by Nathan or other dev's)

I think people suffering from slow ROM speed should invest a little time in tweaking their Hero properly.

Cheers,

72
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mattyguk:
I can't understand the speed issues as I was on mcr3.2 which was quick, and apart from the keyboard, 5.2 is now after a few reboots just as quick.

One question. I know, nprussell, you have much work,...

But, comming VanillainROM is VillainROM5.3 without sense? Or base of ROM is another.

Hey folks,

do you have the same problem, that with villain 5.2 you don't have a german keyboard anymore (Only the keyboard, the whole system is english, I know)?? On 5.02 i had it :S Now I flashed to 5.2 and it's gone... US keyboard really sucks! Z is where the Y is, no umlauts... that horrible!!

It there any fix for this? Someone posted "Flash HTC IME", but which? I found one a modaco-nexus-forums but this is english-only, too :(

Thanks for help and greetings,

The battery live with this rom is great. >36hours unplugged, and battery is still at 66%. As I worked the last two days, I didn't use the hero too muich - occasional phone call, email, SMS, surfing the net. If there is a problem with battery lifetime there must be a downloaded and installed application causing it.

Cheers

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] petsasj:
I get a day or at most 30 hours of battery life from a full charge. Have done all the battery improvement tips but none work so far.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jendrassik:
I noticed that battery life is really short. Unplugged this morning at 8, just made 3 calls of about 5 min, 10 min wifi on, nothing else... battery is now 25 %.

Is there any battery tip i should know? I use autokiller with aggressive preset.

Please show me how make my battery last 30h at least :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e=mc2:
Thanks, actually i made a mistake doing a wipe before flashing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jUsT2eXy:
I too have found battery life inconsistent. With Ultimate Juice I can easily get 2-3days (with just a few calls, 1 hours worth of constant WiFi use, play some games etc). But it depends on use. If I use WiFi / 3G a lot & play games etc then I don't expect to get 2-3 days. I get typically 1days wotrh of battery.

When I go to sleep I just charge it, no big deal. But a multimedia device is not going to have a great battery life. If it doesm it means you don't use the device :cool:

But I agree, it is riducolus that the battery drains quickly even if it is on standby. :eek:

To put things into perspective 1 battery app that I use says after a full charge I can expect 36hours of battery. LOL.

Ps. I use minimal screen brightness when indoors.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e=mc2:
I've noticed that i cant copy or delete files on SDcard. If to reconnect it, they disappear or there is a clean file with the same name.

Hey Nathan could you do me favor and fix your sig by putting a space behind your twitter name, it is buggin' me for days already :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
Nathan, I am currently following the action here on XDA. There is also some stuff going on VillainROM Forums, plus Twitter. In my opinion, you are in too many places at once. Could you at least consider moving off of XDA and using VillainROM Forums as your home base?

Just a suggestion...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joshlusignan:
I think the more places the better.

When I'm at work I get updates on Twitter and XDA app on my Hero

When I'm at home I use VillanROM Forums and XDA.

Twitter will usually have most recent updates

XDA is great for people posting links and torrents for download

VillianROM Forums for bugs, etc.

just my 2 cents....:rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
yeah,

And also, please don't take your wife to the movies anymore and stop going to the pub!!

Dunno,I've been using this rom for a while and I can safely get to 48 hours and more,that is,with just a few mobile-wifi connections to download the mail and update the weather plus a few calls and sms,no fiddling around
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rayjt9:
The battery thing might just be down to general use.

I've found that every couple weeks or so, if you let the battery run all the way down until you can no longer switch your phone on, and then give it an 8-10 hour charge (even if it shows the green light) the battery will last for much, much longer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e=mc2:
how i can do this guys?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KAwAtA:
I'm pretty sure that's not good for your battery lol. If you really wanna do that, I think! that it's best to at least do it if it's at like 1-5%. I normally just recharge mine whenever (mostly before sleep) and battery seems fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] smiskkissen:
http://www.batteryuniversity.com

thats the place if you want to kill all of your battery myths.

Lithium batteries doesn't respond well to get all drained out. They don't have a "memory" so there is no use of a full cykle once in a while.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Danltn:
That method could risk undervolting the battery, making it impossible to charge again in the future. I doubt it would though.

Gps Lock Fix

Read this somewhere cant remember where i found it but it fixes the gps lock confirming that it works.If it dont lock for you the first time you try it, reboot your phone with gps on. You can adb push the file or you can copy and paste with Root explorer in the system/lib folder.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:

Ah! Thx! I had moreLoacle 2 installed for sure. But I didn't try it, because setting it to german changes nothing in the system! The system's still completly english. So I haven't tried it for the keyboard! ;)

For the keyboard it works! If I set moreLocale to "german", the keyboard settings now offer me a "QUERTZ"-layout and for the keyboard-language-setting is nothing selected!

Thanks for helping!! :)

Is this a bug??

Hi guys, loving the ROM but I've ran into a problem with the WiFi :confused:

I can't find the access point point that I'm sitting beside. I could access it before with the HTC ROM but now it only picks up other ones. The only discernable difference between my AP and others is that my SSID doesn't contain any numbers and (maybe) that its a Draft-N router. I've tried adding it manually to no avail, it's WEP encrypted so I'm stumped as to why this is :confused:

Any ideas what's doing it or how to fix it?

Thanks and keep up the good work!

*Just checked and my router is broadcasting on channel 13 and I'm living in Ireland btw*

rename nandroid backup

Slightly off topic but still relevant.

i tried a couple of times to rename a nandroid backup but after I did that I couldn't restore that backup anymore. How do I rename a backup?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cylons:
I've been doing this for quite sometime. I've rename /sdcard/nandroid/HT**ZL******/BDS-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx to /sdcard/nandroid/HT**ZL******/newname. Maybe you rename other files and i renamed it within the phone, not via a pc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zhezhan:
You can rename your backup as you want. Just don't change the first Folder Name.

When your Battery is low, there is an error Message that you need ADB.

Just Plugin your Phone and it should work fine.

Edit: i allways change the name through PC - with "mount as Disk Space"

e.g: Villain52-20100414-1354
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] danwar:
I rename my backups, and no problem with restore.

You must rename only directory ...BDS-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx.

Don't know if any1 has replyed to this but. The CMDA it's the USA vertion of HERO, therefore only supports 10 channels. So in Europe we have 13 channels :).

Can you confirm by changing the router's channel?

I have a Linksys in channel 6 and my hero works fine with it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I'd just like to thank you all for your patience.

I know I'm well behind schedule with 5.3, but I'm delaying it for all the right reasons. I'm trying to remove the US localisation that's coded into the framework, to get rid of the annoying, niggling problems.

On another note; Vanillain coming in next few hours, Mytouch Slide port (working) coming by the end of the week, and Samsung Touchwiz port will be in the works this weekend.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] whitealien:
I also would like to have French as second language instead of Spanish.

As my feedback to this ROM is that I found it pretty stable and fast. I have not tested any other 2.1 build (this is my 1st), but comparing to 1.5 its still a little slower. It could be great to see some improvements in OpenGL results. Neocore shows only 20fps while on some other ROMs it goes till 30fps.

Overall great ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
The reason Spanish is the second language is because this is based on the CDMA (AMERICAN) rom. American has by default English as first language and Spanish as second, they don't include any other language files.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZED_pt:
Actually French would also make sense since they have a state where they speak French as second language(Louisiana i think).

But you are right,they have Spanish due to all the South-americans otherwise it would be just English
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
yeah I am not saying it doesn't make sense I am just saying what the rom includes :D

I think they speak French in New Orleans as well, at least large parts of it.

Edit: after doing some research it seems French is officially the second language in both Louisiana and New Orleans however in reality very few people can speak it.
