Anyone got a problem with booting ?

I Wiped DATA and cache, but when I boot, i got few animations but when it comes to HTC screen, after a minute or 2, it just freeze, and i can't do anything else. I have to pull off the battery to turn off phone. I need to Nand Restore a 1.5 rom, I can't flash, same bug, it freezes.

Anyone has an idea ? :)

@Ganii

I'll try in a minute, Give you feedback then.

No, same result, It freezes again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Thanks!

About root,I know,just thought I can get information about updates!

After freez,did you tried "wipe datat" again and then reboot?

Two words: GREAT ROM. :D

It's fast, it has a nice UI and it's working fine, but I've only one request:

Can you put the language files (Dutch) from the HTC Legend ROM into this one? Because this ROM doesn't have many languages and the Legend language files are the best ones in my opinion. ;)

Please let me know.

Original HTC Stock App and Additional Language

Hello,

This is a very fast and stable ROM. No problem detected...

Just 2 questions:

- How can I install HTC Stock App? It is removed in this ROM...

- Will Portuguese language be included? It doesn t work, even with More Locale.

Reggards

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] L0cke:
Android 2.1 Lockscreen and changing the wallpaper.

Chpoubs (Check out Chpoubs 2.5 ROM) kindly gave me the attached.

All credit for this goes to him!! And neither he nor I are responsible for anything that may go wrong here. All I can say is that it works fine for me on this ROM.

1. Flash the file "LockscreenWallpapper&Deskclock.zip" just like you would a ROM. This removes the HTC Lockscreen and replaces it with the Android 2.1 Lockscreen... with a wallaper! :) Great!!

You may be happy with this, but if you want to change it then read on...

2. Now the tricky bit, if you want to change the wallpaper, you need to...

a) Extract the "Wallpapper.zip" to a new folder on your SD Card.

b) Download MetaMorph from the Market.

c) Open MetaMorph and apply the Wallpapper.thm (Located within within the folder you created above) - It's worth noting at this point that when you apply the theme after a few moments your phone freezes completely! But a hard reboot does the trick. Upon reboot it has applied the wallpaper. It sounds crazy I know.

NOTE: This will apply the wallpaper that came with the Wallpapper.zip, as this is an example. In the folder you'll see two .png files in there "Portrait" and "Landscape". They're exactly the same, just named like that.

There is also a third .png file located in "framework-res\res\drawable-mdpi" This is called "create_contact.png" Again exactly the same image file, just named like this.

If you want to add your own wallpaper, you'll need to replace each of these files with your own 320 x 480 images.

Once they in place, use MetaMorph to apply the theme.. wait for it to crash and hard reboot your phone.

Done.

:)

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

or you could go into settings and change it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silvake:
Of course you need it partitioned: sdcard must have an ext2 or ext3 partition for a2sd to work.

But if it's already there (i.e. previously partitioned), VillainRom will automatically start using it when flashed, without any other intervention.

However, dalvik cache is not moved to sdcard too, not by default anyway.

Cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] L0cke:
Have tried that and it doesn't work. Does it work for you? Have you even tried it?

This certainly doesn't work for the Lockscreen update that I attached, that doesn't give transparency. As someone on here told me that the one on the first post still gives transparency, so this is why I tried it this way.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
Ive tried ext3 and for some reason did not work for ap2sd.Now im trying just ext2 and im gonna see if that works.I know im doing this right because ive done it along time ago on modaco rom. I Installed all my apps and also installed all apps off of market then i rebooted in recovery moved apps and dalvik to sd then reflashed the rom again no apps are showing up like they should so now im gonna to try ext2 partition
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 123belly:
THIS WORKS PERFECTLY!!

Its just what i was waiting for :o) I've not tried the alarm clock yet i'l save that for an excuse to go to work late but the lockscreen is great.

I'm sure a few more devs will grab this now and run with it but changing a few png's here and there is nothing

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
Ok im confirming that ap2sd works but only with ext2 partitioning
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maarch:
Yeah work perfectly for me to :D

Only thing is, lockscreen is now the regular Android one... but when you receive a call. It is the Sense lockscreen who appear and not the regular one.

Is there a file to change for this one to ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heyodee:
and also on ext3
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
hmm i dont know then cause i tried it on ext3 and didnt work 4 me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
Thanks man works perfect i even changed the wallpapers to my preference and your well spoken words helped thanks again for sharing this with the hero community very well appreciated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maarch:
yeah, would be nice to have an alternate program to change the wallpaper, that do not make the hero crash.

Maybe a way to integrate it directly in Villain ROM ? I dont know if that would even be possible.

But except this littles details, it is official, everything now work exactly like I want it to be.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joshlusignan:

help my phone to sleep please!!

This Rom is by far the best 2.1 yet, no need to revert back to 1.5 now :-) there's just two problems that are niggling me the first is a minor one which is the silly smiley face on the keyboard and that you have to press the menu key when you have finished typing. The second is I can't get my phone to sleep using end button, I downloaded spare parts from the market but that doesn't seem work. I would love this to work so my phone can underclock whilst asleep. Any Ideas?? Please help somebody!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KAwAtA:
Um, you can easily get rid of the smileys if you tried? I'm not having any of the problems that you're having with the keyboard. My phone also sleeps fine lol and I underclock it at 245/245 if that helps
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
Re: [ROM]08/04/10 - VillainROM 5.2: RELEASE CANDIDATE - for GSM HERO

spare parts in market wont work because its for cupcake and donut, as for the smileys you have to disable it in the keyboard settings reboot and smiley is gone.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rashidi_zin:
I have successfully installed VillainROM 5.2 (RC). Things I have noticed:

Which are so awesome:

The boot time is so much faster than 5.1

The camera seems to be better than 5.1 (or any other 2.1 ROMs in that matter), or it could be just me. Need someone to confirm on this.

Switching between desktops seems much smoother.

No delays on incoming calls.

Which are not so awesome:

Marketplace - Although it's mentioned that all applications are available, unfortunately I found that some doesn't. E.g. Google Buzz. I had to use Marketplace Enabler to fake my provider (I'm not in the US).

Marketplace - After installation completed I failed to install any application from Marketplace. It was stalling at downloading stage. Easy fix, restarted the phone.

Although camera seems to be better, but still have that green-ish thing.

That's all I can notice from now. I'm still trying to check if any of my contacts got merged with my Operator's. As previously when I received a text from the operator the sender appeared as one of my contacts.

Cheers! :cool:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stainesy81:
Thanks :-) (smiley inserted manually cos I've now disabled from keyboard he he!). I've now got my to sleep using spare parts before I was using end button to go home then sleep that didn't work so it just goes straight to sleep. So I guess there will be no more flashing now till we a customized official 2.1 rom :-( (again inserted manually LOL). Thanks for the response.

i've got a question: writing with the virtual keyboard is as slow as the 5.1 or is better, like a modaco?

Thanks :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] derred:
Sorry but that's just not the case. I disable those in cupcake too, because they slow things down a lot. Unfortunately, even with both sound and haptic feedback off, the keyboard lags behind in this rom (at least for now). It's not unusable under normal circumstances, but I use it to take all my notes and any bit of lag is too much when you're basically writing as fast as your thumbs can go :P.

I hope the next version ether fixes this problem in particular or, possibly better, switches to JIT and speeds up the whole system, or both (a man can dream, can't he!).

Great work! This rom succeded in making me switch from v4b2!

One thing i would like so much though is to be able to set system language to italian. I saw the hotfix on page 1, but (am i wrong?) it is supposed to add ONLY new keyboard languages, so it's not my case..

By the way, great work with 3D gallery! I love it! It still has the camera button issue but it's not that fatal :)..

Very nice Rom, very fast indeed :-)

I am still having the GPS issue with this 5.2 though (full wipe before and app2sd activated): GPS works fine if enabled at boot time but won't if only enabled after the boot (even if I let it try for more than 10 minutes!)

Wasn't it put in the working list of the changelog? :-P I think this is probably one of the last isssues as even the battery drain seems to have improved!

It was off when i flashed the rom. Full wipe and latest radio.

Also unimpressed with Launcher and much prefer the Rosie interface.

Everything seems to work though.

P.S. Don't go flashing this to your Hero. This is just for the devs to use to create a rom with newer features.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] karma0321:
Testing this right now, as the first thing i noticed about this rom was just the improved battery life before playing with gps. Now i've been using my phone with wifi for about 1,5h continuously so i cannot say anything about sleeping issues. But the battery is doing fine, lost about 15% with ebuddy connected and display always on. I'll have better info later.

edit: it was 12% and in battery stats i found both a 10% usage for gps status and a 10% usage for phone idle, so i think gps shoud not drain the battery if turned off.

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

hi

you can flash a radio this can help

you can flash a Rom this can help if its a different Rom, re flashing same Rom will make no difference in most cases

you can flash a Rom with gps turned on but it won't make a difference.

you turn gps on and reboot it with it on, is trick to get gps working from other fixes.

hope that helps a little

Boot with your usb cable attached and run "adb logcat" from the PC which is installed with the android sdk. When it freezes scroll up to the first error message which will be about 3 pages up and this will tell you what is causing the crash.
