[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] summer_dell:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] masterxiter:
Yeah, thank you Nathan, You're tha man (with capital letters)

Downloading now, flashing in 9 minutes.

Looking forward for the sms patch.

Will donate for you're hard hard work. You diserve it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] scouzer:
villainrom site is getting so hammered, haha
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DerMuri:
yup was thinking the exact same thing :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mantrajt:
Yeah...also thinking about this...it isn´t specified in both pages nor twitter....can someone confirm...please let it be without wipe!!!!!

Thanks Nathan for your hard a excellent work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joshlusignan:
Flashing now...no wipe, lets see what happens.:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stevensj506:
booting now...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zanzo:
been running it for 20-30mins now with no wipe... seems stable so far :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] summer_dell:
im flashing it without wipe.. and is stop at HTC logo for sometime already .. lol

edit: ok. after 10 over mins of HTC logo, it loaded into homescreen.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joshlusignan:
same here...

oh wait just booted!!

:D

FYI

Im now flashing the Livewallpaper fix and booting is taking just as long...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] summer_dell:
same...im installing the live wallpaper...sure is long.....hope my batt can last....it was left with 30% i last check..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mantrajt:
Flashed 5.3, then livewallpapers, without wipe.

Livewallpapers run toooooooo slow....can anyone confirm...is this a matter or wiping the phone or is it a hardware limitation issue???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joshlusignan:
Alright I had a FC already "acore...", and LW are slow. Im going to bite the bullet and wipe all. This is gonna be my everyday ROM so I might as well make sure I do it right.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mantrajt:
Can you please confirm if after wipe performance improves?

thx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] scouzer:
weird.. i try to go into market and it shows me the terms of service screen for 1/2 a second then closes itself. cant get past this.

figured it out. apparently the WIFI shuts itself off after setting it up on inital setup? weird
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] summer_dell:
my wallpaper... quite lag..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mantrajt:
No mo weather effect in the main home screen!!!!!!!

Is this a reaction after installing live wallpapers???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] talentmu:
Thanks to nprussell

So beatiful Rom ... Good job
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
My trick is to only (and always) wipe dalvik cache before flashing. Data and settings are preserved and I believe it avoids a lot of problems.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
I dont see what the big deal about the live wallpapers are ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
double post
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joshlusignan:
will do....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joshlusignan:
They are neat at first and the most "usefull" one might be the google maps one.

But if the affect performance at all, they will be gone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
Im pretty sure it will be a battery hog and it will affect performance seeing how it was made for the Nexus 1 phone with a 1ghz snap dragon processor

when are phones are running 528 and thats if you have a overclocking app
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] scouzer:
is facebook sync totally toast on this one?

weird.. working now, took 40 minutes to display my contacts lol
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joshlusignan:
Ill give it a go anyway for a couple days...Im sure a lot of work has gone into getting them working.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arshad14:
Voicemail notification

Hi! Can someone please verify if the voicemail notification bug has been fixed? I tried all the VillainROM5.x version other than this one and was wondering if that has been fixed, which is why I had to go back to the legend port version. I just don't want to have to reload everything only to find out that the problem exists :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joshlusignan:
So far...

I wiped all and LW remain the same, still a little slow. As for weather animations I am doing another wipe to see if it was the LW fix that was affecting those...will report soon. I also left myself a voice mail and unfortunately for the 5 or 10 mins I was playing I did not get a notification. (Im on Telus also).

Great work on the ROM, just need to set everything back up again. No need to wait for official 2.1, as far as Im concerned.

Thanks Nathan and the rest of the team!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
Let me know in a couple of days how it goes for you if you dont mind an ill try it out if all goes well thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
Man this thing speeds up if you do a wipe. I would recommend doing a wipe to everyone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arshad14:
Thanks alot! I really do appreciate your feedback. That saves me from moving to a Sprint port. I'll stick with the Legend port until something reliable comes out where not just hardware works but also all the notifications so that I don't have to be checking my voicemail every hour, hahaha.

But I do have to admit, if it isn't for an amazing ROM like VillainROM and Nathan and his amazing crew, none of this would've been possible. Great job guys and keep up the amazing work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mantrajt:
I reflashed 5.3 over 5.3 to see if LW fix did some harm. I recovered weather animation but I still feel it a little sluggish.....thinking of wiping...I really expected this ROM to put some speed in my Hero and GPS to work without reeboting...none of the other GPS fixes worked for me.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joshlusignan:
Sure thing.

I also just did another wipe and flash, without LW fix, and as we suspected the weather animations have returned. (I deleted and reloaded the widget). So choose whatever you like more.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toomie05:
working pretty well right now :) will update later but all seems well! just wondering but is there a special way to install ROM like before as i did not see a procedure. But usually its a wipe of dalvik and total wipe which is what i did and i did well! good work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mantrajt:
I was just answering an SMS and word suggestion appear on top of what I am writting...kind of hard to see what I`m typing. Can anyone confirm this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
looks like i'll wipe, stuck on htc since 5 min

thank god i made a backup first, but i didn't thought i'd have to wipe from 5.2

anyway, good job and thankies

edit : rofl it booted after sending this message
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
I dont know if this will help out on the voicemail fix but in

settings/call/Voicemail service

My carrier wasnt selected so im wondering if that would have a poblem with the voicemail not working with My Carrier not being selected
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
i'll check that, cuz everytime someone leave me a message i don't get any notification
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
Check it out and let me no im not able to leave myself a voicemail to check it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joshlusignan:
Heres something weird...

I selected the setting you suggested (as it wasnt highlighted) and I also pressed the "clear voice mail icon".

I left my self a voice mail and still no notification...but the "clear voice mail icon" is no longer greyed out, as if I have a notification to actually clear...:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
I dont know i guess this being a gsm phone and the rom coming from a cdma phone that prob has something to do with it because it also gives problems with messaging.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joshlusignan:
Im getting this also on stock messaging app...much better with chomp sms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joshlusignan:
not really a big deal for me anyway...call display is good enough hint that I may have a voice mail.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
Probably yeah, going to have a look at this later.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
AH your alive wondering where you have been.You Finally got some sleep? Well im checking out later see you on tomarrow im sure haha
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
This is why nobody really had these problems with the legend rom because its a gsm based rom and phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
First boot

First boot takes a while, but this is a highly anticipated rom!:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
By the way...

Can anyone confirm that A2SD is working?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
Yes it is working thats why the first boot is taking awhile.

This is for anybody that wants to have Dalvik Cache go to there sd as well just flash in recovery and it will give your device 160mb free and also there is a app called Cachemate that will clear your Cache build up anytime you use the app
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] trip hazard:
Apart from the flurry of posts about HTC's fun with release dates, installing the official update may well "un-root" your phone. That would be a pretty good reason ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ritdaw:
Will there be a non themed rosie available for this rom? Sorry I just like things stock. Still going to try it though!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
For anyone wanting a proper DMAgent fix, that stops the SMD error message, read on.

Kendon has just told me what's wrong. It involves a change to the boot.img ramdisk, so this is one for a dec/experienced user. I don't have time right now, but the change needs to be made inside init.hero.rc:

service dmagent /system/bin/dmagent -N -P19 -VSY

should be changed to read

service dmagent /system/bin/dmagent -N -P[b]27[/b] -VSY

ie. change 19 to 27. Then, re-compile the boot.img and flash it by making an update.zip

If no-one fancies doing this, I'll do it later. This should fix the issue, and not involve putting ancient fixes into this nice build...

Sorry, don't have time right now to make up files :(

HTH folks. Don't use the old fix as of now... (the replace dmagent one)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yes. Nathan is planning a couple of themes tonight...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yes. For anyone who hasn't read it yet, read my global announcement on the VillainROM Forums (www.villainrom.co.uk) at http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=28

Basically, DON'T TOUCH ANY OFFICIAL RUU! Upload it, or the ROM.zip, and devs will make it safe and remove hboot. I have been reliably informed that a new hboot, which will be much harder to root, will be included in the official release.

In case I didn't make it clear, DON'T FLASH ANY OFFICIAL UPDATE!

(sorry for shouting, folks, and repeating myself, but we need to make sure people know about this) At least 790 people already know about it (no. of reads on the villain forums)...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ritdaw:
Excellent, thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jens.bergqvist:
Does anyone have any new insights on the dialling problem? It's the one remaining showstopper for me.

I did a logcat during a call from phonebook but I'm not sure how helpful the result is. Seems it just shows what everyone already knows: the + is substituted with 011...

I changed my actual number (minus the country code) to [my_number].
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gt500:
my hero block when showing the nexus bootscreen, anyone know how to solve this? i have wipe the phone too. my radio is 6.35.09.26. thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] richardtrip:
There is a missing symlink (openvpn want to start ifconfig from /system/xbin/bb which is an empty dir) and there's no init.d script to load the vpn module(s).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] franklinvv:
I just installed this ROM and I'm looking forward to the original Rosie theme! The theme that comes with this ROM by default conflicts with Android design concepts.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Jaco90:
Hehe, i like how u put this. but yeah i agree, really 'interesting' skin. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] richardtrip:
Here you go, changed boot image (tested).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Thanks buddy. I'll flash, test, and pop into nathan's first post on the villainrom forums (www.villainrom.co.uk). Can't put it up here though till he's around, but I can edit his post over there...

Cheers. 9 posts and you can extract boot images, modify the ramdisk, recompile the boot image with correct offset, write update-script and sign the zip...

Impressive! If only everyone else would make so much from 9 posts lol :)

EDIT: I'll need to mirror that file, as download speed is crap from xda's servers. It will be up at www.villainrom.co.uk/Villainette_newboot-signed.zip in a few minutes... UP NOW

Apps2Sd

Hi guys. I see on the bug tracker an entry referring to APPS2SD. However, unclear if it actually working in this version? I have 89.03 meg left after install. On the 4.2 build this went up to nearly 140 meg after I applied the Davlik cache fix.......Cheers Andy
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Rui-Cruz:
In settings - about phone- system updates there`s a choice of having the phone automatically check for updates... should this be off just to make sure??.

In the CDMA thread 2. post there is a file for getting apps2sd .Will that work on this rom??

Thanks a lot for another great rom . I love the fact that so many people actually share their knowledge, helping this getting the best rom possible..as opposed to a couple of the others.. Just stick to Villain roms and you know you`ll get the best.!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] richardtrip:
Thanks, Everybody who can read can learn. Just to litte spare time to help a bit more ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] binario77:
@ livegod. If you have an ext partition then it may be that one of the apps on this is interfering with the boot process. When I installed the alpha last night I couldn't get my phone to boot and it froze in the same way.

If you try booting with the USB cable attached and do an ./adb logcat you can then see at which point it freezes and by scrolling up a little you should see what causes the freeze.

In my case it was shapewriter. I then removed the offending files from the /app and app-private folders of the ext partition by using my Linux system to mount it from Amon_Ra bootloader.

Might be easier to just do a full wipe of the SD card though.

thanks for your hard word nprussell, from the answers ect. this rom looks like a very good 2.1 rom. I havent tested it yet as I havent installed any rom on my hero yet. But I am really considering installing this rom.

but i need to know a few things before trying flashing and such. is it possible to download or import foreign language keyboards like danish to use when writing sms and such? is g3 working at this stage or is there a fix if its not working?

keep up the great work =)

Currently you can only change the keyboard locale (not the language in the phone itself, which means you are stuck with English). But yes, you can change the keyboard language.
