I got excited when you said it would work after this, but it didn't :( (I left it for 10mins and not loaded yet.)

I tried clearing the data twice. Gonna try putting the rom on again over this current one (as I don't want to set up all my apps again) and see if it gets back to how it was.

Hmm... Strange, worked for me (twice, before and after a nandroid restore).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] VenomGBR:
Hey guys,

I just got sent my first MMS message, of course it didn't receive properly. I'm on Orange.

I get the "Message not downloaded - Generic network failure." message.

I followed this:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VillainRom3.2FixesMmsSettings

With no luck at all.

I don't have MMSZap on my phone. I have two entries in APNs:

Orange (orangeinternet) with a bullet filled next to it. (I guess it means its selected?!)

and...

Orange MMS (The entry created by the method on the WIKI suggests).

Can anyone help? Is there an update.zip for this anywhere!?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jUsT2eXy:
I know :cool: But there are many 'old school' guys out there who don't like change etc... so if I did not put that as one of the steps people would say "oh that's wrong", or "your wrong!11! its update.zip" etc

Thanks for the reply though. ;)

It worked for me mate. Also worked for others if you read around the various threads, not just on XDA but other DEV forums etc

It did for me. I know it does sound strange, the GPS would technically be 'off' and not active when you turn off the phone. However, strange as it may seem it did the trick. If it works for oyu, then you can post it in FAQ. ;) If it does not work for you then I will look like a dumb @ss for posting it LOL.

But it did work for me. :)

It is recommended that you should flash the most up to date radio (even if the custom ROM comes with the latest radio installed) after you have installed the ROM. Either this fixes the issue... or 'Switching the GPS on, powering down the phone and then flashing the radio' solves the GPS problem.

But it did work for me. :) After all I am only one person. Lets see if it works for you guys.

Gallery 3d issue

I re-installed the villain rom and gallery 3d is much, much faster without the camera fix than with it (with the camera fix I did try to clear the data as suggested by tbman1996 - this didn't help). Also it immediately loaded my larger pictures that were off my home camera that was placed on the SD card.

It is very picky though, the first time I installed Villain it loaded all the external pics, 2nd time around it has loaded less than 50%.

All the internal pics together load up a lot faster than with the camera fix. Very strange. I'll keep it this way for now as I can just load the camera from the apps list.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] obbe:
(re)flashing the radio with GPS turned on did the trick for me as well!

Thanks!

It sure is a great rom btw...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] EbiEre:
Does anyone have the issue that the Keyboard is very laggy? Or is it just me?

If i type it takes a second before the letters are shown up, so it's hard to write for me :(

Maybe someone has a idea what i can do to solve this problem!?

Btw i disabled haptic feedback and sounds and i flashed the htc ime to get german language ;)

Thx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] PatcheZ:
gps worked for me without re-flashing the radio.

it'd be interesting to see if you would need to reflash the radio again when you flash the custom rom again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
maybe installing the old HTC keyboard would improve the speed, but i don't know, i haven't tried it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
When I was running 5.2 first time it was quite laggy, now I am running a 5.2 kitchen build its working great.

How strange as it may seem it also did the trick for me....

I'm a pretty technical guy so knowing a bit of the background, this still sounds weird. But eh it works :D

This is one for the FAQ! Will solve a lot of problems (and ignorant questions)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jUsT2eXy:
Great to see it has worked for you guys.

Wooh ;)

It is also weird some people are talking about have a laggy keyboard. I know the stock HTC one with haptic feedback (vibrate) on is laggy, when tiurned off it is still a little laggy. But Betterkeyboard solved the keyboard issue for me. Been using it for a while now and I highly recommended you check it out if you have not done so.

5.3 out soon .. can't wait. Live wallpapers with Sense sounds good. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
a lil feedback

if i change my default settings to the launcher, so htc sense won't boot when i press my home key, everything works great!

but when you put your phone in standby, for like umm 5 minutes, and then wake it again, you'll see that every widget has to reload, and also the background has to reload.

then it takes about 5 a 10 seconds to reload everything, at that moment you can't scroll trough your homescreens, you only can open the menu(the middle key on the screen) or you can switch between homescreens with the little dots in the left/right lowercorner.

you also can't use any of your widgets, for example i can't click my weather widget, it simply won't open, though you can use shortcuts..

Moved over from MCR3.2 and loving this ROM, ta!

However...

Would like to try out Launcher2 but when I go into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications, the phone says NO, with message 'process.com.android.settings. has stopped'.

Have rebooted several time but to no avail :(

Is there any other way to enable the choice of home between Sense and Launcher?

It's no biggy since I like SenseUI, but just wanted to try it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
maybe try to reboot your phone..

anduhh is MCR3.2 a villianrom???

otherwise you can try a full wipe, and then reflash your rom ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Raptor-21:
Haha, things are certainly moving fast if people start asking if MCR3.2 is a Villian rom. But to answer your question, no, it's a Rom by MoDaCo (paul; who has moved onto the nexus one now) It was pretty much the most popular 1.5 Rom while it was still being developed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
big fail for me :p

anyway, thx for telling me!

after this HTC Hero has brought about 2 babies to the world, i'm also going to get the nexus one, but if there will come a very good nexus one port to the HTC Hero it can stay longer :D

A thing that would complete this ROM is that the homepage of the browser is set to something by Sprint... Not a neutral something like HTC or Google?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dipje:
Aren't voicemail notifications just regular sms messages sent by your provider? I still get those, can't imagine how a ROM makes a difference in that aspect.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djoanes:
Thanks, I've read this before I just wanted to confirm that I could put that radio on my phone. I figured that since different GSM Hero's listen on different bands they require unique radio's but apparantly not. Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
Well I'm not getting notified of any voicemails either, 5.1 didn't have this problem, so has to be the Rom. I also have the sms problem with long messages being split into multiple messages for the receiver.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dglockitt:
Voicemail Notifications

Thanks for the tip! Turns out that setting in my voicemail was switched off DOH...funny though I don't remember switching it off and I'm sure I used to get them before....but anyway problem solved. For those having similiar issues, call up your voicemail service and you should get option to change your settings.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vash10:
yep this is true. thats why i didnt find any sense enabling the pattern lock as it can anyway be bypassed by the menu button.

if there is anyway to fix this im interested to know as well :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vash10:
Thanks!

just root-ed my virgin HTC hero and I chose villain as my first custom rom. Thanks man!

Just one thing though, seems like battery gets drained quite a lot? because i usually charge at night then use it the whole next day. but now, when i wake up in the morning im only left with 50+% battery.

other than that so far im quite happy with it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] haychau:
I'm not sure if i'm the only one that does this, but i put my phone on a charger at night. It just seems the sensible thing to do.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] developing:
The pattern lock isn't bypassed with menu, only the lock screen itself. On vanilla, if the pattern lock is on the lock screen (with sliders) isn't displayed at all; on Sense, the lock screen shows up before the pattern lock. I use Villain 4.0 beta 2 with the pattern lock, and I always double tap menu to wake my phone and jump straight to the pattern lock.

App2sd + Dalvik cache

Need some help, i've just used this ROM for few days. It was a perfect ROM but there's a little bug, i 've enabled A2SD with this ROM, but i still found my internal memory is decreasing. I think it's because the dalvik cache is still in the internal memory. Does anyone know how to move the dalvik cache to the SD Card ?

Thanks for any response :P

@orangeclanz,

when you say radio rom its the same as the "baseband version"? Im currently on 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18. I'm using the phone in asia so im wondering if I should really update it. if i should, which rom should be i change it to?

also if i update my radio rom, will my phone still work with other roms like lets say the stock 1.5 rom?

sorry for the noobish questions as I am not so familiar with this yet.

thanks!

compass / layer problem solved

Hi all, sometime ago i spoke about a problem with the compass and G-sensor not correctly calibrated, and i was not able to calibrate them correctly.

I found out a workaround and naw i have compass and g-sensor correctly calibrated and working here the procedure:

market : Download johnson bubble levell

lounch the application and do calibration

Don't do any more g-sensor calibration......

open compass ad do again calibration

Everithing at the moment is working correctly, LAER, google sky map and 3d game using g-sensor.

Pay attention any other g-sensor calibration will destroy the calibration and you'll need to do the calibration with johnson bubble levell again. So basicly use the program and forget about the g-sensor calibration into the phone settings.

Of course a fix to the g-compass default calibration should be necessary if possible.

In my opinion the oproblem is stat it is going to overwrite non the correct calibration file, but i'm not really expert about this.

If i'll have any news about this issue on other forum i'll let you know!!!

Little Offtopic, but does anyone know the cause of the keyboard lags?

I think i don't know any Rom where it is "perfect", some do have less lags than other, but the lags are still there...

Is it so difficult to build a working Keyboard for HTC? Is it better on other devices?

I really love my Hero, but the Keyboard is the biggest issue for me.

I don't see how that would solve the lag problem.

Just tried this within Choupbs however you spell it, and it is quite fast, the roms in which the keyboard performs best though are in 1.5 roms, nice amount of vibration, and hardly any lag
