Well, I cannot add russian keyboard (which I used, when no Bulgarian present...) because the only locale available is English. Is it possible to somehow override this limitation?

+xx bug

I tried a workaround the +xx bug which seems to work. I installed phonecard express from the market and used its + handler option to replace the + with 00. This is a workaround until the fix is found.

Since the phonecard processes the input before passing it to the dialer and this workaround solves the problem, the issue seems to be with the dialer. There is something in the dialer that converts + to 011. Could this be linked to the NBPCD setting or the Locale?

Nathan - can the dialer be replaced with the one from the Legend ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Weird...

Here's my command from doing this (not the actual replacement, but once sqlite's running, that's easy :)

cd /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases

Could you copy and paste that into adb shell and try it? This is weird...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xhexx:
appeal to the developers of this ROM. If the boot-fix-patch is already downloaded thousands of times, possibly in the firmware is a serious problem with the initialization. don't you think so? patch does not solve the problem for most users. must remove the battery to unfreeze the phone. There are other solutions?

I apologize for my bad english

Villian 5.2 and Bluetooth car kit is not working

hi

Has anyone tried 5.4 with a Bluetooth hands-free car kit yet? :(

I need a solution to this as I use my phone the most when I am stuck in traffic on the best motorway in the world (M25)

Help?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kukussi:
I agree with you, I've tried flashing this ROM last night and it froze. I will not flash the ROM again until it is fix. I don't want to start flashing ROM's then fix patches etc... I flashed VillainROM before and loved it but will hold on this one!

Re: [ROM]26/04/10 - VillainROM 5.4: Release Version - for GSM HERO

I am checking it the whole day and need to day something is wrong with default browser.it freezes and lags badly. Dolphin and xscope works great but useless for me as I ned flash support. standard browser freezes, performance is terrible, much worse than nokia e71 symbian browser which was the slowest in the world, never ever had that on any rom, zoming is laggish. Anybody else experience that? Using 5.4 ota updated from 5.3 with a2sd.

Yeah dude, you are right. I did a total wipe, them a Titanium backup restore. I got back the phone the way I left it, but now it really seems faster. The only problem is that it changed the unlock wallpaper and I cant change it back.

Anyway, this is small potatoes. Surely soon there will be a fix for this bug.

To upgrade is fine. I did it from 5.22 to 5.3 and then to 5.4. Only problem was my root access went faulty so I couldn´t get some programs to work automatically and I had issues with getting friendstream to work and get the widget but everything else went perfectly fine.

Morph, did you got the lockscreen wallpaper changed?

Maybe ill try to wipe and reflash the rom.

It might have been some issue on the first boot process. for about 20 minutes my phone didn't react and so i had to take off the batery.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melodaf:

Have you pushed the vanilla lock screen? If you have done this you need to disable the sim lock code. If not try the hotfix after running the flash.

I did re-flash without the fix for live wallpapers so maybe this is why. ???

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zebwen:
OK, so here is my process so far... EVERYTHING seems to be working very well, in fact I've even grown a little fond of the theme after using it for a while, but I still CAN'T change the lock screen background no matter how many times I tell it to change, it just stays the same.

Here is how I got to where I am:

Full Wipe

Flash 5.4

Boot - Wait about 15 minutes

Phone freezes about 15 seconds after boting (on lock screen)

Reboot in to Recovery - Flash BootFix

Phone boots - Go through setup

Load into OTA - Install 5.4.1 (Bootfix AGAIN, but nvm) Reboot after flash

Load into OTA - Install 5.4.2 - Reboot

Load into OTA - Install 5.4.3 - Reboot

Load into OTA - Install 5.4.4 - Reboot

Run the MMS telephony.db fix I posted earlier in this thread.

Done. This is basically all I have done on the phone (other than intalling Linda File Manager and Skype). I havent flashed the vanilla lockscreen or anything else.

So... Anyone got any ideas why I cant change the lock screen BG?

Feedback of Villain 5.4

I upgraded from 5.3 to 5.4 without wipe.

Really great improvement of 3D performance. Neocore shows now 25fps up 5fps from 20fps. Nice! You can feel overall better responsiveness and ROM is really faster than previous version 5.3.

The only thing I can't get used to is new colors. Where it should be yellow its blue now. Kinda weird. Is that some kind of new theme ?

Great job so!

P.S. There is graphical glitch in "Driod Armory" application. Character 3D modeling does not show up or shows totally distorted. I don't know if its related to application itself or ROM. Was working fine on cupcake build.

OTA Updater

(NEVER MIND - Problem seems to be solved by taking off app, reinstalling zip from ViillainROM.co.uk and reinstalling apk.)

I lost a LOT of battery life last night being on 5.4. I installed OSMonitor, and it seems that the only program really hogging life from me is the OTA Update app. I killed the updater, and within a few seconds it was back up and running and still hogging about 30% processor from my phone.

Can this really be? I uninstalled it for now, trying to see if that will help my battery life.

Does anyone know more about this? Is it "safe" to put it back on? I really like the idea of the OTA Updater, but if it is costing me battery life I feel I am better off without it.

Any suggestions..?

My first Villain experience

Got tired of HTC so I finally jumped the rooting bandwagon. Tried Legendroid first but it was unstable and a battery disaster, but flashed VillainROM 5.4 yesterday after a clean wipe and so far I'm extremely happy, my Hero has never been this fast!

I haven't tried the radio fix yet so I can't say whether GPS will be working, but I have no issues whatsoever with camera, wi-fi or 3G. I don't even think the blue theme is unpleasant, it's no showstopper.

The only thing that annoys me: Facebook for Sense works, but it only syncs the first 100 of my Facebook contacts into People. Does everyone have that? I don't like how so many of my contacts don't have their profile picture linked anymore.

Flashed

Booted

then i got stuck so i flashed boot fix twice since it didnt work the first time

now it works fine but i have no updates...

any suggestions?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] agoNITE:
Flashed to 5.4, tried the OTA updater for the first hotfix (5.4.1). Didn't work at the first try, so i updated it through recovery as an update.zip.

Now i can't find any newer hotfixes? I.e. OTA updater can't see that i installed 5.4.1 already.

And one other thing, i used stockrosie.zip to switch back to the default Hero theme. Everytime i install a hotfix i have to reflash with stockrosie.zip cause otherwise i'll see both themes (bottom buttons are the stock ones with the themed ones on top...). Any idea on how to fix this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] masterxiter:
Yeah that happened to me yesterday. Well gess i will be waiting for the non themed ROM version.

And also, couldn't connect to my car's Bluetooth headset. It could see the device, entered the code but did not send the confirmation to it.

I have Blue&me From Fiat and Microsoft. Previous roms where Ok.

sorry for repeating myself but i cannot find a solution and this is crazy!!!

i have an interesting problem: i connect my phone to usb, and it doesnt recognize that i have connected it. at least I have no longer the notification entry to select usb role (flash, internet share, sync or charge only), it is completely missing from notification bar, although i have the USB debugging connected message.

anyone else with same issues?

Doesn anyone have a stock rosie lock-screen that I can flash? I'm happy to keep the rest of the theme, I just REALLY dont want this lock screen that I can't do crap-all with.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Zebwen, try flashing 5.3 then 5.4 over the top, no wipe. Or you could try using the OTA updater to go straight from 5.3 to 5.4.

It shouldn't cause any issues, at least it hasn't for me.

When I flashed 5.4 after a wipe on first boot my phone would freeze, normally would take 3 restarts to work, then the lockscreen was unable to be changed. I found that flashing 5.4 over 5.3 allowed initial boot to go smoothly.

Can't hurt to try.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zebwen:
Can you change the lockscreen images after upgrading in this way? I am currently giong through the process of learning how to sign my own zip files to flash myself :P Seems like a lot of trouble to go through but I REALLY love this ROM but I just dont understand the choice to make the lock screen image unchangable (probably wasnt a choice, but still).

I heard that upgrading from 5.3 had problems, and everything else in my 5.4 works great, just this friggin' lock that is driving me mad!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DerMuri:
My OTA is working again.

All updates show up now.

I just downloaded the first Fix manually and applied it using tha OTA Updater (i put the manually downloaded files - zip and checksum file - into the update folder) and picked "existing updates" in the Updater.

And after that i could apply all the other Updates, too.

But i now have the 5.4.0 ROM Update in my list and can't get rid of it.

I think it would be good to add an option to manually make Updates invisible in the list to the Updater.

Or the updater should devide itself according to the current used version number (5.4.4) which updates to show and which not to show (so hide all pre 5.4.4 updates)

So far the Updater only hides updates that have been applied using the Updater, isn't that right?

Regards,

Marius
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] El Salvador:
I took a shot and installed 5.4 finally. I didn't get any troubles and everything seems to work.

Besides, I quite like the theme.

Only thing that comes to my mind is the "Get more HTC widgets" problem. I cleared the cache/data of HTC Sense and HTC Widget Download Manager but I still can't find any widgets. When I try to download them manually from the market, I got the installation error.

This same thing happened to me in 5.2
