Got my APN (orange UK) by flashing APN fix then restoring APN list to defaults.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiley87:
I've done that, but it doesn't seem to be working. I'll keep tweaking with it, probably something that I've done.

I've tried almost every ROM on the site, but always come back to this one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaikara:
I got tired of waiting for the 2.1 update for my Hero running on Telus so I flashed this ROM. I have a couple of questions. WHile everything is working I find that the phone burns through the battery way quicker. I don't talk aon the phone a huge amount and I used to get to the end of the day and still have 20-40 percent battery. Now I am always getting the low battery notification.

Also what is the responsiveness suppose to be like. I find this ROM to be just as sluggish if not more so than the stock ROM. Is this common or should I try reflashing or changing some settings to see if the speed is better.

CM rom = tomorrow (it's on the donator forum now, or will be any second)

SuperHero 1.2 = awaiting on something I can't reveal yet before public release.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
thanks for update, hows the battery on cm?

im guessing your waiting for a launcher update.....?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
other than not looking good in the new gallery app (app pixelated... weird, pics I took on 2.1 cam aren't pixelated at all in new gallery app), color is perfect when viewing pics.

you can even see the green tinge in real time preview when camera is turned on. it's not just when clicking pics, it's in the actual video processing software in this 2.1 rom. it wasn't like that before and still isn't on my wife's stock 1.5 hero (which was bought same day/time/moment/store as my hero).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thunderglaive:
Hey nprussell :)

I'm wondering when you release a new version of Villain? And what will be improved? Thank you ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
same here - well, especially what will be improved - no rush, 5.5 is great, but fixing some problems would be cool! (haha I couldn't turn off my morning alarm today no matter what, had to turn off my phone and restart it LoL)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
by the way, I typed this into a totally different topic and realized after I posted it that it should really go here. I've commented in some forum or other that wifi switching on/off automatically doesn't seem to work well, at least not for me in my home (after using two different wireless routers, linksys and d-link). could still be the routers, who knows. but worth noting anyway:

currently I'm wifi only also since I accidentally used up my data plan this month 2 weeks early by watching too much streaming video... damn.

As a result I turned off mobile data asap and am learning the ins and outs of wifi with my phone. I don't know if it's my new d-link wireless router at home or the phone or the OS, but most of the time when I unlock my phone I find that it won't connect to wifi again (won't even find my home network to be within range) unless I manually turn off wifi and turn it on again, sometimes 2 or 3 times in a row, until one time it finally says that it found my home network (with great signal strength) and is obtaining an IP. from then on my wifi is excellent, until I lock my phone again, then it all happens again most of the time I unlock it again.

very frustrating!

this might be 2.1 in general, or maybe my router. but my macbook pro has no issues with wifi at my home. so it kind of makes me wonder about the phone at least. I will have to try my wife's phone on wifi only (stock 1.5 hero) to see how well IT does... that might help. however I have a strong feeling that there is something wrong with how wifi connections are managed under villain5.5 (and maybe other 2.1 roms).

my wife hates how much time I spend playing with my phone LoL :-)

I LOVE VILLAIN 5.5!!!

OTA

Hi. This Rom is awsum realy. Like it. Can anbody please tell me. How to use ota update. Thanks:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I'm doing VillainROM 6, and it is set to be the least buggy ROM yet. Long SMS works, immediate GPS fix without rebooting nonsense, full HTC sense, all hardware working of course, usual speed tweaks hopefully.

It is V6 for a reason. It has a new base ROM. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
Will voicemail notification work in v6?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
Whoa! V6 now? Sweet! Vague eta estimate or is it > 2 weeks + kind of a longer term project?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melodaf:
Same thing here ! Haha... I thought I was having a really bad dream in which I cant shut my alarm off (that happens to me sometimes when I dont wake up right away with the alarm ).

Flashing 5.5 currently running 5.3

Can I just flash 5.5 over 5.3 (post wipe) then hotfixes?

Or do I need to install 5.4 then 5.5?

I guess my real question is what order do i need to flash all of the updates?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Not got time to post properly, so no quoting of questions. Might miss some, but forgive me folks.

1) This is a short-term thing. I have it running on my phone.

2) It is not based on the Sprint RUU. It is based on the Droid Eris one. Ports from the Eris tend to be much more successful.

3) All hardware works so far (GPS gets fix immediately without rebooting nonsense)

4) Speed seems OK. I haven't done much in optimisation, but it is already getting >28 on Neocore IIRC. Can't be sure though, as I've tried loads the past day or two.

5) Not sure about voicemail notifications. I don't get inclusive voicemail, so I'm not gonna test it. I will get one of the team who does to try it if I remember.

6) androjeffro, just flash 5.5 after a wipe (recommended) and then the hotfixes. No need to flash 5.4 :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melodaf:
Which hotfixes are that ? I just remember flashing one. They aren't showing in OTA. It should ?

Another thing. App2sd definitely is not working for me. I suspected that when I couldn't see the ext partition with my pc running Linux. With Modaco Rom I could see all installed apps when I mounted the SD card. But I am pretty sure now I get low space warnings all the time.

My alarms arent working properly I guess autokiller is killing clocks app. What you guys did to get your alarm waking you up?

Brazil world champion 2010 :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] msiviter:
Ref 5.5:

Sorry, too slow and battery life terrible. No Voicemail indication is totally unacceptable to me too as I use the phone for work. Thanks for your work but I'm back on Pauls Modaco ROM, it flies and works fully with great battery life even though you can't disable 3g easily.

Bring on the full HTC released 2.1 roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mdk001:
Just keep the app open when you lock the screen before going to sleep,if the clock is open and focused autokiller can't close it and you're safe
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thunderglaive:
Sounds great. :D Look forward to see you guys works. Great job
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
so the clock problem is autokiller related? I didn't know that!!

hrumph

I don't suppose it helps getting the alarm to be able to be TURNED OFF when it's ringing though LoL :-)

that's a problem that's almost as bad as having an alarm that doesn't go off at all heh heh

cheers

Ps - still blown away with this - the speed is equivalent to stock 1.5 imho. battery life is about the same too for me, more or less. charging it once every 24 hours now.

I do fully expect that any hero owner will be buying a new battery probably every year though, stock or hacked.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
cool, was just reading about the droid eris. so it's basically a hero stuffed into a different body. makes sense to port from that then, I hadn't ever known much about the other android phones.

cheers - best of luck with Version 6, I'll follow your progress on the official forum.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thiagofbrito:
My problem is that alarms aren't ringing so I guess it's autokiller killing Clocks app which controls your alarms.

Here's the bugs:

1) Google News RSS reader force closes

2) Live wallpapers

3) Villain Updater force closes

4) HTC sence is a bit laggy

Anyway it's the best ROM on xda for android devices. Great job :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DyingStar:
I really enjoyed 5.5, but now it's a bit too slow for me :( I'm trying an overclocked 1.5 firmware as we speak, but will try VillainROM 6 once it's here!

Keep up the good work ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melodaf:
Try raising the volume of the alarm (in the screen which we pick what sound we want for them). I had issues before and that solved.

Brasil Hexa ? ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
so God-Like-Villainrom Developer, can I ask another question that you might not want to answer? :-)

compared to cronos droid which is, I think, based upon the same rom as your new V6 tba release, what differences will there be? I'm afraid to try cronos droid because, honestly, the developer rubbed me the wrong way with his infamous commentL:

"I have been a jerk with this release. This is just a proof build to show the other devs I do have the sources. I have removed video drivers from this kernel just to **** up the other devs. Boohoo"​

But otherwise it seems like he's done good things, and the performance measures best of breed in 3D tests from what I've read (by a very small margin). So will yours offer typical cool Villainrom features (the great keyboard hacks, skins, other nice to have features) along with the sort of stability your releases have become known for?

Or will V6 be more like an entirely different product that doesn't contain the extra hacks (keyboard etc)?

does this make any sense? maybe I don't even know what I'm actually asking LoL

Installed this fabulous rom yesterday, but frankly speaking, is there any way to skirt this dialer issue ? (Yes, I've read the whole thread) As a french user, even if I "manualy" dial (meaning, not using the contact list), it always add 011...really no work around ? :rolleyes:

I guess I lost track of all the Villain releases out there at the moment. It's hardly doable to tell them apart form each other. And then there's this post on xda, the other topic on xda, the wiki which only describes older versions and lacks screenshots and http://villainrom.co.uk/...

Is it strange when I say that it's difficult to keep up with all the releases this way? I myself would prefer one topic containing all releases + descriptions + screenshots, nicely bulleted.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
It's far more organised here:

http://www.villainrom.co.uk/index.php?sid=37c4424bcd956a29ccf0d7fb2ae8afc0

I think for future releases based on different builds, a new name is in order.

Exchange Woes

On doing a full wipe, I moved from Villain 4.0 to 5.5. Ever since, I was frequently getting "Your Exchange server requires that you enable security to continue synchronizing. Do you want to continue". I removed the exchange account & and am tried to add it again. Unfortunately, it could not be added - as at the stage where it asks for which folders to synchronise, when I click ok, I am faced with the error "Failed to create the account. Please try again later." Did a full wipe & tried setting Exchange again. Same error at the final stage. Read somewhere that installing Lockpicker could have solved the "enable security" problem, but doesn't solve the "Failed to create account" error which I am now facing. Any suggestions?

# bind mount dalvik-cache so we can still boot without the sdcard

#the wiki tell us to comment the following lines

#busybox mount -o bind /system/sd/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache;

#busybox chown 1000:1000 /data/dalvik-cache;

#busybox chmod 771 /data/dalvik-cache;
