Any had any home screen widget problems?

I had google search widget added, it disappeared, but was still there only invisible! I could'nt put any widgets on top and if i kept my finger on the empty space where it was I could then drag it about.

how to change the passcode screen back to the pattern unlock?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Guanarteme:
Yep, I had the same thing, had to trash it and put it again, and again :-)

also having problem opening Footprints from navigator. Is it existing at all?

Great rom though! cheers!

Ive attached my manipulated file! Just delete ".txt" and copy it with "Su File Manager" to /data/data/com.android.vending/shared_prefs/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] meliorus:
in this ROM does not work for me wifi for this because the wifi transmitter broadcasts on channel 14-15 and unfortunately not in this ROM can not select a channel ...

Maybe fix a date?

This rom is great, but is there any way to lessen the keyboard lag?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cyberden:
No more battery drain with 5.2! GPS is working great!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cbanbury:
disabling all the keyboard hacks & restarting the keyboard seems to fix it. I think its the landscape space one thats causing problems.

Does anyone else have lag when pulling down the notification menu?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heyodee:
Anyone tried JIT with this ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
so as in, turning off all the extra features?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
I tried JIT, it worked, got higher benchmark scores, but i cant say it made a huuge difference, and i missed sense
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cbanbury:
Yeah, would rather have a usable keyboard though than the extra features.

Hopefully this can be sorted tho :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
yeah hopefully, ite i'll try this, ive installed the rom again, gonna restore all my apps and data (txts takes aages!)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heyodee:
Me too, ... , any ideas why its not sense compatible?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
nope, no idea, it would be great if someone could sort that out though
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mardurhack:
Could someone post a neocore result with the RC please? And what about battery life? Has the draining bug been fixed? On the NeoRom topic the creator says it's kernel's fault so it can't be solved until HTC releases the official one...Is this true?? Sorry if someone has already asked for it but I didn't find anything mentioned in the last...let's see...TWO HUNDRED posts?!? XD

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

I get serious lag when running Launcher2 - any ideas why this might be?

Also @nprussell - there's a "misspeling" on the HTC Sense load screen that you modded - it should read VillainRom rather than VilainRom. Sorry for being a pita!

Anybody find the problem of camera? The exposure control still seems to be a mad dog, especially when take photo under outside with sunlight. Sometimes too bright to almost completely white or sometimes too dark to almost completely black! Ha! Michael Jackson - Black or white?!

For anyone still having Up Time = Awake issues - have you installed spare parts?

I have discovered that is that cause of my problem anyway. There is an option for "Wi-Fi sleep policy" and by default, nothing was selected. Once I picked an option, my phone went to sleep!

Last annoying issue fixed for me... looks like I won't need to flash until the offical one comes out!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] WarheadNOR:
Yes ofcourse, but there is no option to check of the sim box, so i either have to see both the phone and sim or just the sim...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wawalker:
Thanks so much for making such a great ROM. It's running great so far on my hTc hero GSM. Can we conclude that it is perfect? I also have the Google Navigator running perfectly as well.

Camera problems

Ever since I'm using VillainROM photos are in very bad quality... and there is like a grid on every photo... am I the only one?

Here an example (click for orig size):

You can clearly see that there is a grid...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] an0therus3r:
Can you point where the grid should be?

The only grid i see is the grill, ow and you can park it infront of my house :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] d3sm0nd:
omg, when uploaded i don't see the grids now O_O maybe because it's zoomed in...

I think this may be a either a resolution or Windows 7 bug... :D Here a screenshot from my pc when viewing the pic:

IMAPs issue

Hi, I have a lot of fun using Villainrom on my european HTC Hero, but I have the same problem as hseffler on page 142 on the 5th of April (sorry, can't post a link) with a self-signed certificate of my mail server silently being blocked. In other roms (and the official one), the HTC mail app asks what to do, and I can accept it. Now I can't use mail.

I exported dovecot's certificate to a .p12 file and imported it on my phone, but it still won't work. Any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ian_4614:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dipje:
There is a very small, fine pattern in the picture (which doesn't seem right.. junk in front of you lens / sensor somehow?). You see it in the picture he posted if you _closely_ at the road, or the rear of the blue car in the background in the top left. Once you spot it, you can see it's everywhere in the picture. It's a pattern of about 4x4 or 6x6 pixels.

What happens when you view it in your default Windows picture viewer , is that it's zoomed out a bit. You're viewing it at like 80%. The zooming-filter (scaling filter) used by the picture viewer brings the effect more to the foreground, you see a kind of moire-pattern appear.

This is perfectly normal, artifacts like that appear due to the scaling if you're viewing a picture with a very fine pattern, like fine grain or a 4x4 pattern like this photo.

Still no explanation WHY your photo has that 4x4 pattern in it though :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rayjt9:
A couple problems I've found with this ROM after a few days use...

1. Volume control for music no longer works when the phone is on sleep.

2. I had this problem with the last build, but when using StreetView and the phone is horizontal/landscape, looking upwards doesn't really work.

3. When you press Menu to unlock the phone instead of sliding down, it brings up the menu you'd get from pressing menu on the home screen.

4. Honestly... It seems quite a bit slower than 5.1 :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
Volume control while sleeping hasn't worked for a few builds, you musn't have noticed it before.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rayjt9:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] d3sm0nd:
Thanks for the explanation! Maybe it's a hardware error...

Maybe I could try the 1.6 camera app? I can remember when I used Modaco which was 1.6 it was ok...

Someone please PM me if they have the 1.6 htc's stock .apk of the camera app

I have done a full backup of my 1.5 hero using Titanium Backup.

After flashing Villain 5.2, I would run a restore of missing apps with data to ensure not to overwrite any new programs. However, this does not restore my desktop icons. Does anyone know if I can restore this to Villain 5.2 using Titanium Backup?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cylons:
Haven't done so with wifi-tethering. It works with 1.5 rom though and i've notice the same thing happens when streaming via desktop browser.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hseffler:
Well, the Sense-UI will only be in English. You may install MoreLocale from the market, but this only allows third-party apps in another language (and causes bugs in Sense).

So, short answer: No.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] trikko:
Small bug?

Ok, I've installed villain rom 5.2. It seems to work, except for gps bug (but it works if I reboot phone with it enabled). I can't set system language (i've changed keyboard language to italian using instruction found somewhere in this topic).

There's a strange bug: on "people" application I can't set birthday properly. If you choose "12" on month, it actually display "november" and not "december". If you choose "01/49" (january 49) it displays december 48. And then if you reopen it shows 12/48... (clicking ok, display november 48)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] drygmasken:
I'm pretty sure it worked before, in 5 beta or 5.1.

Then it was the volume during call that didn't work but for music it did.

Now it's the opposite.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dipje:
That's just the white-balance that's a bit off, and not at all the problem the poster was asking about.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kingkeld:
This is what I thought. I have used it several times within 1.5, however when I try to "copy" my desktops from 1.5 to 2.1 (Villainrom 5.2) I just get a force close. I have to do a nandroid restore to get things working again. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dalet11:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Un..Un:
Yes. I Think so this version slower than 5.1

Multi touch on 5.1 response greater

More lag when play Game Zenonia

but this version, GPS detect very fast I love it :D

I have a problem with the MMS function. I have MmsZap, and have inputed the correct things, but i can only send MMS when im connected to the internet. Either by mobile network or WiFi. When i try to send one without beeing online, it says "This application reqiers network access. Enable mobile network to allow data transmission."
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barryallott:
This is just my opinion but doesn't only allowing donation access to the kitchen go against donation...

I've been following this ROM from the beginning and love it. but since Nathan got his dev hero, isn't everyone donating for the great work not for premium access (which is what is happening here). Just my view but lines might be crossed.

as well as the legalities of sending cash as a donation. If you send cash to not receive anything extra, then its a donation. But if you do it to gain extra things or access a premium service, that is paying for a service and VAT occurs... Just letting you know...

This is becase you are using the Vanilla Lockscreen and HTC Clock.

You have to match them up:

This is why I included the Vanilla clock in the lockscreen update.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
it's a very, very slow rom from what I understand.

I really don't think implementing Live Wallpapers into Sense is that important that it's worth slowing down the whole build.

I will, however, have a play with it to see what I can do.

I have just fixed MMS on this ROM. It turns out we can use the old method, as reported on the wiki here.

Basically, use adb shell or something like connectbot to run the command

cd /data/data/com.android.telephony/databases
sqlite3 telephony.db
select * from carriers where name = 'Production'; (and you'll see the sprint APN that it tries to use)- optional step just for interest

Now go to http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VillainRom3.2FixesMmsSettings and use the command for your network. I've posted them below for ease-of-use

select * from carriers where name = 'Production';
(and check it's correct now)

I tested this for sending and receiving, and no reboot needed, but YMMV, and I'm not going to help out until you do a reboot ;), just in case it was me being lucky. :) I'm on T-Mobile UK btw...

Cheers, and I hope this helps someone.
