Voicemail Notifications

Ok this is not ideal but might help some of you.

As we know with the current build we are not getting the usual notification to let us know we have a voicemail and this obviously will lead to us not checking and missing what might be an important message.

I have noticed that when we get voicemail we do infact still get a notification it is just in a different place.

When you have a voicemail you will notice that the number "1" in the dialer will have a little message icon. this then goes when the message has been deleted/listened too etc, much like the normal notification.

Like I said not perfect but may be a big help
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
I'm not getting this icon on the number 1, I just left a message as a test. The only image under the number 1 is the voicemail image which is there if I have a message or not its the same type of image as on the number 2 for abc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I had a message on mine yesterday and had a little text message icon as well as the normal voicemail dial icon thing. The little text message icon went after i listened to the voicemail.

Will try to get a pic next time i have a message.

Pairs fine, connects ok, no obvious problems. Incoming call though (or outgoing), when pressing on either handset or carkit to answer, just silence, no speech coming through in either direction. Problem ONLY with 5.x series, the other villains were all fine....

Freeze on first boot

Hi all,

I just installed it, but on the first boot, it loads and then it hangs on the HTC Logo. The logo appears, but after 1 minute nearly, the light on the HTC logo that goes from left to right on the letter hangs.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong ???

Thank you by advance

HELP ME

Thank you for your answer !

I just installed VillainROM Villain5.22.zip

But when i tried to install other roms, it does the same. I don't know what's wrong. I did everything on tutorial ....

Do you have an idea ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barryallott:
How long did you wait??? Mine took about 8-10 mins on first boot..... BUT GOD DAMN ITS WORTH IT...

Have you got root access?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rrichie:
15 minutes and more.

I followed step by step that tutorial :

http://www.forummobiles.com/index.php?showtopic=220613

but when you waited, did the light on HTC hangs ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Buddeh:
Did you wipe first? I forgot to wipe and got the same exact problem. Did a clean wipe and installed it again and it was fine; didn't hang. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] simonsteele:
Yes I can confirm that not wiping gave me that exact issue as well!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MattX:
Hi guys! I want to try this ROM! But i have got official yet, and never tried the method.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] karma0321:
Sorry for re-posting, i would add this as a bug on the bug tracker but i'm waiting to get a pc to register, meanwhile, i think it would be useful if somebody could check this out and file a bug about it.

It has nothing to do with the gallery button, it happens when opening the camera app, even from main apps list. Everybody can try it.

If that happens to many of us i think it's worth to be fixed..

Again sorry for not doing it myself..

frequent reboots

I'm running VillainROM 5.22 RC, no mods at all and I'm having trouble with frequent reboots. Can't see any pattern in this behaviour but it happens alot. I think four times today and for no apparent reason.

Has anyone experienced this? Is there any fix for this?

Btw, really nice rom other than this problem! Thanks alot :D

i'm more excited to get the new version of villianrom rather than the official 2.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
Brilliant news, what about the missing voicemail notifications?

I know that lenny has said there Is a small icon on the number 1 in the dialer, but I don't get this shown, my only guess is because I'm using tristans theme but I can't confirm that as being correct, just plucking at straws there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Yeah about that, I have been unable to replicate since the first time I saw it, but I have updated the theme several times since then as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gpo2307:
please french

Thank you very much Buddeh!! i wiped and everything was ok.

This ROM is great. But one very bad point for me : It doesn't have french language... I tried morelocale but it's not good, too much things are not translated.

If 5.3 will have french language, i'll install & keep it 100%. And i will donate !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] leinad:
Hy fzncloud.

Yes, it's clear that your ext partition does not get mounted ...

Are you sure there is one ext partition on your SD card ?

In order to check that, you could use the following statement, intending to mount this partition :

mount -o noatime,nodiratime -t auto /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd

Please let me know whether you get an error or not.

If not, try again the "mount" command, in order to check whether you now have the expected line regarding the ext partition ...

Best regards.

Has anyone been able to fix the lag issue with the launcher? Mine just gets worse and worse throughout the day (probably a build up on the error logs) until it becomes unusable
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MrAss69:
Some other things I've noticed:

When I switch to airplane mode the notificationscreen keeps telling me, it'd be looking for service. Would be nice if'd say airplane mode or something like it.

The other things in the keyboard tutorial the markings are a little bit misplaced.

And last one: The keyboard has this button where you can switch between letters and numbers/symbols. If you keep this one pressed to get the alternative mappings, it'll show an empty box on the left.

That's it so far...

PS: How does this candidatebar work? Haven't managed to get this thing working on the keyboard.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] havocnl:
@nprussel

can you hange homepage to something not sprint related in the 5.3 release, just a little improvement that would finish it?

Also regarding the GPS issues. I have found another situation where something isn't right.

I used the method by someone else here (sorry forgot you name) to flash the radio rom again with GPS on. This worked great and GPS work almost every time.

This time i was somewhere where my phone wasn't allowed to be on, so switched to Airplane mode. After disabling airplane mode and trying to use CoPilot to navigate home, GPS wasn't working any more... Seems like Airplane mode (disabling everything) also broke the GPS.

Also the keyboard seems verry slughish... When i am typing at my regular speed, the display is behind by two words :P

The MCR 3.2 was also not the fastest keyboard, but it had only a delay of 1/2 a word when typiung at full speed. Anything you can do about this???

Hope this post can prove usefull to you.

Good luck finishin the 5.3 release!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eben80:
Has anyone else found that when the screen brightness decreases ie. plugged into car kit with no action for a few seconds but not locked, the time it takes for the screen to go back to normal brightness causes your action not to be done or "it thinks" that you gave a "long click"? Is there any way to prevent this?

This is my only annoyance.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fzncloud:
Hi leinad, I tried that statement and i get a "mount: no such device". As this was a new 8g micro sd class 6 that I bought last week. I went through the steps to format and partition the card (fat32,linux and ext partitions).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] leinad:
So there seems to be no ext partition on your SD ...

You should build one ; caution : This will wipe all data on your SD card, so do backup them somewhere !

Using (for example) amon_ra recovery, you have the option to create a partition on your SD.

My recammandations :

* DO NOT create a swap partition, it is useless (and the kernel is not able to use it ...)

* Fisrt create an ext2 partition, and then change it to ext3 (but DO NOT change to ext4, since the kernel is not able to handle ext4 partitions)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mantrajt:
Waiting and wanting, great news to have a new version for this weekend!!!!

Thanks for all the work

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ales100i:
I would really love to use HTC News widget in this ROM, that is present in Legend ROMs. is it posible to use it on Villain? I copied the apk from the Legendroid ROM, but it says install failed, when i click it. Can anybody help me, how to import it into this ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fzncloud:
Hi Leinad, I have just booted into recovery and then just used the recovery menu to create partitions.

I now get the "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd ext3 rw,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0"

I just went into system/sd folder and did a ls and got the following

# ls

ls

lost+found

app

app-private

dalvik-cache

#

Is this a good sign to say apps2sd is working? (sorry for my lack of knowledge in this area. I have never ever got this working so dont know what constitutes working :D )

Cheers!

ok its definitely working! Thank you Leinad, you are the hero!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] petsasj:
Thank you very much for this rom, i seriously love it.

I have a few questions for you though, in case of a 5.3, will i need to wipe data, ext etc? And all the widget settings/layouts and contacts as well?

Any performance increases in 5.3? :D Could we get a changelog from now please :P ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] leinad:
The best way to check apps2sd is working is typing the following command:

adb shell ls -l /data

If you get someting like that:

[COLOR="Red"][B]lrwxrwxrwx root root 2010-04-15 18:12 dalvik-cache -> /system/sd/dalvik-cache[/B][/COLOR]

where you can see three symbolic links for 'dalvik-cache', 'app-private' and 'app' all three pointing to the ext partition, respectively '/system/sd/dalvik-cache', '/system/sd/app-private' and ''/system/sd/app', your APPS2SD is definitely working !

Happy having been able to help you :)

You are right about the Legendroid, at the moment its my No.1 Rom as well but I have to say the Battery drain is huge...

Thats the only issue of this Rom.

In regards to flashing radio, I have searched around but cannot see an answer.

I have a T-Mobile (UK) G2 running this ROM and radio version 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18.

I noticed in the radio sticky there is now 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26.

Can I update this without the risk of bricking my phone?

Also how do I do it? Just rename the file Update etc? And will it wipe my phone?

Thanks in advance..

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stari4ek:
you can enable Russian locale to have keyboard/dialer in Russian. Also other applications, which supports Russian will use it. You can try MoreLocale, but I prefer override CID/default.xml after flashing the room.

Feel free to ask for howto. можно и на русском в пм ;)

Second issue is :

Where I am right now, I dont get any signal for my phone ( use wifi ), when I wake up, unplug it from charging and go back to work. The signal isnt getting back on the phone. I have the signal bar with a X next to it, and it isnt picking up any 3G or antenna signal. I need to do a restart so it pick it up again ( I have the latest radio for US )

So anyone got those to, any fixes ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] developing:
Launcher2 is not stable on the Hero, seeing as it was designed for a phone with a higher resolution screen and with much much more powerful hardware.

On a side note, when you (everyone, really) posts complaint and bugs in this thread - PLEASE proofread and at least make an effort to make your post look presentable. For those of you who speak English as a second language, it's understandable for some errors to be present, but when "plz" is used instead of "please" it just means you're lazy. Capitalization would be nice, too.
