Hi

Would someone mind giving me a hand here - I've loaded different themes but can't seems to get rid of the imagines being displayed double (see screenshot)

Is there a way to return to the original them without a wipe? Running VillainROM 5.5.

Im loosing my mind about this.

applied the "fix" but there is no differance. cant connect to data net.

Before i flashed 5.5 i had 5.3 working with minor problems concerning mobile data connectivity.

i did a wipe before the flash, i even wiped again and flashed.

any info on this? i am quite dependent on my device ...

Found the solution, this should be easier to find...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] one_tjc:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rafynet:
My data plan is EXPENSIVE .. how do I prevent this Rom from synchronizing account data, downloading files automatically, or doing any automatic data transfers over mobile network?

I only want gmail to auto sync over mobile net. I also need to be able to browse and use Google maps. So please don't suggest turning mobile data Off.

All other automatic synchronizing should happen through WiFi.

Hi Melodaf,

I used Titanium Pro to batch restore my apps, and the internal storage is at 26mb! So for some reason apps2SD did not work on my phone with VillainROM v5.5.

I have tried to move the apps using the bootloader, but only moved a couple of megs.

Any ideas how to overcome this?

Tx

Nope m8:) If u check the wallpapers, the phone will always zoom in, because of the 7 homescreen.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
battery life is amazing on my phone. was crappy but just spent some time doing unmemorable things to ensure it wasn't wasting clock cycles. wish I coudl recall everything, but it was common sense stuff. still does lots of updating in background, still has facebook updates and twitter updates. 1 minute timeout for screen lock. brightness on auto or even cranked all the way. plenty of browsing, some talking, virtually no sms cuz it costs me money though. running auto app killer (just updated to 3.01 version - no changelog so don't know what was fixed... hey auto app killer author, post your danged changelogs!).

I turn off wifi when I'm not around my wifi areas. I turn off mobile network when I am around wifi areas. solves some problems - also increases data performance when in wifi area.

I'm also running juice (free version) for past 24 hours to organize power saving stuff automatically which, whether as a result of it's own efforts or it's efforts combined with my own intelligent setup of the phone's options over the past couple of days, has now shown a doubling of my battery life in the juice battery widget. I had it turned on (unplugged) all night, was down 2%. been unplugged for past couple hours with browsing and lots of offline use and still close to 100%.

that's AT LEAST as good as stock 1.5.

oh, and I'm running live wallpaper and lots of other goodies. still great battery performance.

when I installed villain it was bad for battery, but adding the two apps (killer and juice) and adjusting settings and experimenting somewhat have resulted in great performance considering how much this phone is doing all the time!

I don't know if that means I can go 24 hours between charges or what, I haven't had it running like this long enough and I habitually always charge it when I have a moment at work and overnight at home and when driving because I don't want to be left without power any time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
a comment from a user about screen locking timer with android phones (at least heros) in general which would be a nice hack-fix to have in a future rom:

when I mount it in the car plugged in to charger - I wish the screen darkening thing didn't happen when you choose the dev-setting to make sure it won't lock/sleep when plugged into usb charger... that's an oversight on HTC's part imho... or android's part maybe... I love it not locking when plugged in, but why does screen dim as though it's about to lock unless you turn off screen dimming timer??? should ALSO automatically be disabled while plugged into a charger if you have that dev setting enabled as I do. other devices have this capability, why not android? there are nice app workarounds now, but should be an automatic when there is a power cord connected...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
I had never, ever, had any issue with WiFi, with 1.5 or 2.1. It always connects to my WiFi when available and automatically disables the data connection. It's automatic, and it's flawless.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
wow. it's never worked for me. awfully strange that it's not been rom related either in that case.

at home I get no web browsing in my bedroom (where I get 1 bar mobile and 3 bars wifi) until I go into settings and uncheck mobile network.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
can I ask - are you sure it's working for you? I mean, how do you know? what do you look at that tells you which network is being accessed? because the only way I know is that I can't actually get any data, which is because the Mobile network signal strength is simply too low.

where I can we both look (when I'm home from work tonight) to check that it's working differently between our phones? somewhere in settings? something I can install?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
When it's on WiFi, the 3G/H icon disappears.

Have you tried a different router?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
H icon is gone on mine too at home if memory serves. I'll have to double check tonight to make sure. however even with the H icon gone, no connectivity through wifi until I disable "mobile internet" in settings. edit: it BEHAVES as if it's trying to use some kind of mobile internet (H/3G/2G?) while not showing the icon for it, even if the mobile internet signal is so poor that it won't get web pages etc.

had a linksys G router, changed recently to a d-link N router, same issue with both.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
Is it just me, or is the graphics quality different with 5.5 vs 5.3? On my home screen, I have a widget with a transparent background that contains some text. With 5.3, the letters were nice and crisp. Kinda fatter, too. On 5.5, they look terrible. They are skinny and edgy and really not as nice. They were fine with Superhere 1.0.2. Any ideas?

Note: If I make the widget's background non-transparent (a solid colour), the letters look fine. So, it's like the transparency is being handled differently.

I had problems with juice defender. It never got my apn settings back to normal, to reactivate mobile network. I had to do it manually.

having proble with apps2sd

Never mind... fixed it !

OK I've used apps2sd on AOSP ROM's before and it worked great, Today I've flashed VillainROM5.5, my sd card was already partitioned with RA-hero-v1.6.2. After flashing the ROM I restored my apps with Mybackup Pro but apps2sd was not working.

So I went on http://villainrom.co.ukwikidex.php?title=Apps2SD#Enable_Apps2SD and confirmed everything was as it is explain on the mentioned link. And everything was ok.

But every time I install an app my phone memory goes down therefore apps2sd is still not working.

Any clues on what I have to do to make it to work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] knudsen81:
I think it is dalvik cash is still on the phone mem and not the sd card
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kukussi:
nice ROM

Really nice ROM, the only thing I found coming from a couple months using AOSP ROM's is that SENSE is slower. Every couple of minutes either the keyboard will lag bad, phone will freeze a couple of seconds and some apps take for ever to start loading (its not my class 6 sdcard since some of those apps were pushed on the phone):rolleyes:.

Final thoughts! nice ROM even doh its a bit slower!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
WiFi slower than data connection

Why is my WiFi connection (at home) slower than my data connection. I'm running speedtest.net and I get less than 2Mbs on WiFi and I can get up to 3Mbps on HSPDA.

My netbook over WiFi does 7Mbs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thierry_b:
Did you try to reboot your phone after you restored your apps?

Normally, it's at startup that he moves apk to sdcard with the 04app2sd script.

Otherwise, repartition your sdcard from RA recovery, and I think he will try to move apk to sdcard.

You would have to charge your phone every night for sure, that's with listening to music, using the internet and a fair few calls throughout the day. If you can go with charging it overnight, then charging it before you sleep you should be fine for the whole day with all features of the phone.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silvake:
Phone memory still decreases because the regular a2sd script leaves the applications' dalvik-cache in the internal memory. It's a standard behavior, not a ROM-specific issue.

If you want dalvik2sd as well, you should have a look at this wiki and follow the instructions in the last paragraph.

With this setup, I managed to install more than 60 apps and still have ~100MB free in the internal memory... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lukesky:
how long it lasts for me will probably be totally irrelevant for you since we are almost certain to use the phone differently, but it lasts around 36hrs for me before i charge it again at around 20% batt left.

But with a 1.5 rom, and with an overclocked kernel, i can easily last 48hrs. so i've gone back to a 1.5 rom because it's much faster (even faster than those AOSP roms with JIT, not that I can even tell that JIT is speeding anything up in the first place except by running linpack) and i get fantastic batt life as well.

Thanks! With apps2sd enabled I didn't see a significant decrease in internal memory usage after installing apps, hence my question. But I'll try this method to free up some space when my internal memory gets low .

Furthermore I found a ROM related bug (I think). When you open the messages application, the pictures of my contacts (and myself) are not loading, while they do in the widget. It's just a small thing, but it would be nice to see the contact pictures in the application as well.

Anyone else experienced this? And perhaps somebody knows a solution?

BTW I found the battery life with this ROM is great compared to 5.4. A big PLUS! Seriously.
