After playing around with Linda Manager, AndroZip and ADB shell, I moved the HTC IME mod apk file manually to /system/apps. I was still unable to use the XDA keyboard. After lots of struggle and frustration, it finally hit me. A long press in a text field and the "input method " option did the final magic.

Where is internet share option in Villain 6.0 ?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
It's coming in VillainROM 6.1.

Also, btw, you used the old thread for 5.5. There's a new one for VR6
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
lol and when is VR 6.1 coming?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
haha. you find every opportunity to ask.

We are now looking set for tonight. Most stuff is fixed now, and Friendstream looks to be working.

Hopefully we can get it up tonight, although this is dependent on my upload speed, as it is pretty awful, and we are looking at a reasonably large update file (~20-30 MB maybe), as well as a full ROM as an option for anyone new
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melodaf:
Oh, didn't know that. That explains the cricket sounds I hear over here.

Thanks !

Can someone tell if this worked after they installed this on there cdma hero, for some reason I installed the zip but it Stayed on the Htc Boot Screen and that was it! Someone Help Please! As far as I know this is compatible with Sprint. Right?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
This is a ROM for the Hero GSM. I highly suggest you try the hero CDMA section of the forums, where your chances to find compatible ROMs will increase astronomically ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
No No No!

:eek:

This is the Hero GSM section, NOT CDMA! :eek:

It's not compatible with sprint.

It's also an ancient thread. You should go to recovery and reflash a CDMA Hero ROM.

Villain 12's out now btw :p lol :D

Yes, because you have to remember that you are doing this because you work for them. (that was sarcasm by the way, since some people around here seem to have difficulty with the concept).

I have done a full wipe but I don't think it's needed if you are coming from 5.0
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gc48067:
Some people basically miss the point - you have a hobby (which you approach very professionally) which we all are able to share in, with varying degrees of input.

For every strange or miss-placed remark or PM there are 10 unsaid thanks and hundreds of people sitting eagerly (and dare I say enviously) awaiting the next release.

Keep up the great work! Thanks!

Don't listen to them ;)

Like others said they should be glad your developing this ROM if they can't live with it let them developing there own ROM ;)

Ok, Villain ROM 5.01 downloaded and flashed without any issues.

Logged into google, twitter, facebook and Flickr on start up and everything was fine, contacts are going through sync ok.

Marketplace works fine.

Friendstream widget is missing but we knew that anyway.

Going to apply the Rosie update now once my contacts have finished syncing.

Hi Nathan, first post, and firstly a big thank you for your amazing work on this... just a quick question though, your release notes refer to launcher 2 - can you explain what this is please and where to find it... cant find any reference anywhere else.

Thanks

sync problems has been fixed :) NICE :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] onecino:
Dear Nathan,

I flashed both 5.0 and 5.01 and I am stuck at Nexus bootscreen. Did wipe before and tried downloading again, but still am unable to use my Hero properly. There was no such issue with 4.0/3.4. Does anyone else have such an issue?

btw, I LOVE YOUR WORK!! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Luke_Wilko:
The exact same think is happening for me, i used 4.0/3.4 fine, i have done a full wipe, but on boot of 5.0 and 5.01 it frezzes at the nexus bootscreen. I left it for a couple of hours just incase but still no luck.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
If this happens (not booting), wipe and reflash.

This happens to me intermittently on every rom. It's a weird one.

Try FULL wipe (Dalvik, etc)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] torespen:
aaargh!.. lot of work...

Hi, I would very much like to try this ROM, but i'm a bit worried about ALL the work changing all +'es to 00 :S :(

Any bright programers out there who are willing to make a quick sogftware to rewrite the whole contacts list? One button changes all contact numbers fro + to 00 (and opposite)..

I'm kinda not looking forward to changing 500+ numbers manually :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pahildo:
anyone has problems with the sd card???

i cannot mount the disk drive....???

i tried to format the sd card still nothing...

and i have to remove my sd card when i reboot or else it freezes on bootscreen.... any one have the same problems pls help....

i'm still on the first release...i wish it would change on the new release 501
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
SD Card mounts fine on 5.01
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pahildo:
i had the same issue.....someone told me after flashing remove your SD card then put it back again after...when your in
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jocaferlo:
Yes I know, but I don't have installed this ROM now.

Thank you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
For anyone having issues with booting and flashing ROMS please note:

I have flashed many ROMS and not once have I encountered long boot times or had to re flash images.

I always do a nandroid back up, wipe the data, Dalvik cache, battery stats and rotation in that order, then I apply the update and reboot.

Over the past few weeks I have come from Villain ROM 3.4 all the way to 5.01 without an issue other than the usual bugs that people find.

Just take a few minutes to do a proper wipe and I'm sure most of these boot problems will not happen.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xq89697:
You can add the Chinese version? Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ashes:
Flashed 5.01 from 5.0 without a wipe.

Applied Stock Rosie, and everything running fine.

The ROM speed is awesome.

I'll check the battery to see how it is working now.

Having problem getting GPS fix with NDRIVE.

I miss the Friend Stream widget :)

Great work

I miss the Friend Stream Widget too, please please please, my sad pathetic twittering life is suffering......
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] akirainblack:
I've flashed the 5.01 over the 5.0 without a wipe and other than the 1 issue I've done a bug report on it's brilliant as usual. Very fast and highly responsive. Great work Nathan, thanks again and as usual I'll see what I can do to make it fall over but things seem to be getting more and more stable so I'm having problems making it crash.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] werziluk:
Flashing this as we speak, i too will miss the FS widget but it seems nathan wants to fix and add this at a later date. Hope it will be the decent looking widget ('FriendStream' and not 'FS').

I flashed 5.0 yesterday and after the google sync I had zero contacts, might be because they are stored in +44 format but im not sure if they are. Anyway thanks to nandroid theres no harm in testing :P

Thanks again for all your great work Nathan.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pahildo:
the icons on 5.0 are nicer than 5.01
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
It was in the 4.0 Beta but didn't update properly although could live with that as it took 2 secs to manually refresh.

I think Nathan was having a few issues with it last night and in the overall scheme of things it's not a priority.

Yes you are right, everything BUT the keyboard language.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jocaferlo:
In the keyboard language you can't select another language than english, BUT really your keyboard will work in the language you select in morelocale.

I tried it sometimes with spanish. In the keyboard language I can only select english, but the keyboard worked in spanish.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ThunderRoad:
I can write correctly with an english keyboard, no problem for me, the characters are not different than the spanish, italian or french....

And YES, the keyboard is in english, but the corrections and suggestions are in spanish....

Who don't have enough with that.....................

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] an0therus3r:
Maybe it depends on which language you choose but here my menu stays English, same as weather widget, program names, eveything, only crap market changed from language.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sadape:
You could try to use alternative keyboard like AnySoftKeyboard .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Luke_Wilko:
It did load up without the sdcard, so something must have been up with the ext partition. Formatted sdcard and re-partitioned and all good :D.

Hey. We`re getting spoiled with updates this often.. Any chance you will add Apps2sd to this build, can`t see it working. at least memory went down from 144-77 mb going from 4.0 to 5 . Th fix to move Dalvik provided earlier from Pulser doesn`t work anymore.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] case0:
Can anyone explain which is the version of 5.01 with stock sense?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I'm sure Nathan told me 5.01 is plain sense in general. Get the download at www.villainrom.co.uk in the thread for this release.

And cheers again Russel et al. for doing an awesome job :)

Ah yes, so good to have stock rosie back again! Thanks for this great ROM :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Leeejohn:
I did a restore of the VillainROM 4.0 BETA 2. The CDMA build is faster with calling, but the BETA 2 is much better.

Like someone said on the forum....I dont know why you should build from a CDMA build. Standard features like calling dont work.

I like your Beta 2 build very much. I think i will stay using that one.

Its no offence. I like your work. If there is a official build i will donate :D for your fantastic work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phoehtaung:
It would be good if you can add these links on the front page..

Been using it for a while now, very fast. Few things, is apps2sd possible? and the google sync icon has been on for about 2 hours.....is it safe for me to reboot?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tkm89:
Yeah, it's been there for me for ages now. I wonder if it's eating up battery, too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Von Ropen:
Hello,

i see that there is a fix for mms but there is any kind of update as mmszap?

Thanks...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phoehtaung:
I would be lying if i said apps2sd is working... do a nandroid backup and try it out? It doesnt hurt to try XP...

And one more thing... ALL THE BUTTONS will light on somethime when using phone...

for 1.5 roms the buttons will only light on for awhile if you press the buttons..

but for this VROM(VillainROM) all the buttons will light on and won't off.. is it only me that suffering from the problem??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Picarden:
Doesn´t work in Sweden. Not for me at least. I have to replace all "070" for example with "004670"... otherwise i get "1070"

Thanks! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] werziluk:
ill check apps2sd later, its a bit of a chore for me because i have all my phone stuff set up in windows. Im on mac os atm, i need to read up on using adb with mac a bit more.

Had no probs with the buttons so far...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
Dude, you are right. I switched word prediction off before I applied morelocale.

everything fine now.

this ROM rocks bigtime!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] an0therus3r:
Sorry, i can't :(

Imo CDMA port is way faster but beta 2 is more useable for daily use.

If you like playing around and help nathan then flash cdma port and except known problems :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] buck32:
+1 same here think its the Facebook side of things as I did Google sync first and that finished (sync ended) then I set up Facebook htc and that sync has stayed on permanently. Did try full wipe and reflash but got same problem. Hopefully Nathan will pick up on this soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] case0:
Flashed without wiping from 5.0 and everything seems to be working fine, or at least no more bugs than were present before.

Absolutely LOVE this rom, for me it's near perfect (especially with normal sense now!). Would love apps2sd in a future release though that would be awesome.

For those who are talking about the sync icon staying there for ages I've had that as well on both 5.0 and 5.01. Only solution I've found is to go into accounts in settings and press cancel sync and turn auto sync off, not really sure what the deal is there.

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] craig0r:
I turned Background Data/Auto-Sync off (can be done from Home -> Settings -> Accounts & Sync) and it improved my battery life greatly.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:

i forgot to include it in the build... I'll post an update.zip later when I get chance
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] an0therus3r:
Sense turned off ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nebvin:
A quick workaround to get the Friendstream widget working, you can push FriendStream.apk and PluginManager.apk from a previous legend build to /system/app.

I've put both of those files up on my server at repo.fyrie.net/downloads.

The only thing that doesn't seem to work with this is the friendstream app, which probably has to do with changes between the legend and hero build. the widget works good though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BigD18t:
wicked , cheers mate.

also i like the first theme :o any way i can flash that on the new build.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phoehtaung:
Sorry about this request... I would love an update.zip to get ClearLockScreen that is available in 5.00 rom...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
Ok, bit confused by this one.

So by installing the friendstream.apk and the pluginmanager.apk the widget works but you can't use it????
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lodger:
First off many thanks...

Installed this without wipe couple hours ago, seems fine so far..

found battery status plugin i use FC's a few times and the same old MMS not working,

Great Rom, I'm using 5.01 at the moment. I'm trying to run LastFM, over wireless, but I keep getting a force close. I've rebooted the phone, and also tried it on 3G, and I still get a force close. I'll give it a try from home tonight, is anyone else running lastfm on 5.01?

Will try to get a logcat of the error if I can.

I think I read that you can tweet from the Twitter widget and it works fine; this bug only affects the full app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LuffarJoh:
here's a possible soultion to the "extra number" dialing problem.

http://www.multiupload.com/Y4XOQGYTTG

download my modified Phone.apk and put it on your sdcard.

use this to swap Phone.apk.

host$ adb shell
hero$ su
hero# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
hero# cat /sdcard/Phone.adk > /system/app/Phone.adk
hero# mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

Remeber to make an Nandroid backup and I am not responsible for any damage caused by doing this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
Thats correct, you can tweet but if you try and direct message or try to mention then you get the error.

I am a big user of Facebook, Twitter and with the Friendstream unusable and the Twitter app on the blink I think I will revert back to 4.0, will wait to see what updates come later.

Yep, can confirm I'm getting a force close as well.

Also after using it a bit more I've realised I'm still getting the lag on incoming calls that was present in 5.0.

edit- also after killing last.fm after this force close, it keeps reappearing in processes even though usually once I kill it (on boot) it stays dead..

edit 2 - had another bug with text input so killed sense and touchinput and last.fm doesn't seem to be opening itself anymore so ignore my last edit :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] msoek:
By me to, I get also a 1 before a some numbers .. not every number.

If I want to edit the contact number It's already normal...
