Live Wallpaper works with sense here... I had it working already on 5.3 with a patch that was released.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rivak:
you can apply the lwrosie.zip witch was given with 5.3 villainrom. then live wallpapers work like a charm, even faster than in 5.3.. but i messes up your button on home screen, as you get an overlay of two themes.. at least i can't find a clear solution on the forums so far
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] the1theycalldave:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] danmullen:
I'd really like to give this ROM a go - haven't dabbled with any 2.1 ROMs yet and this sounds like the best. However, there are too many reported issues for me to switch at the moment.

Hope some fixes can be applied as I've seen it running on a friend's Hero and it does look impressive.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bent_e:
I installed 5.4 last night. It is working fine as far as I can tell. However, when I try to do OTA update it download the update and starts the recovery console, but on the recovery console it fails with:

Hello,

If i am Listening music, and the screen is locked (black) then i can't change the music volume using the volume rocker, i have to unlock (hang-up button) to use the volume rockers.

In the stock HTC rom i am able to do this while the screen is locked.

How can i re-enable this?

I just updated to 5.4.0 and most my HTC widgets (clock, settings, friend stream) disappeared. When i press "get more HTC widgets", no one is found. Anyone know how to fix this?

lost track

Hello,

It's a joy to see how fast things evolve.

But I'm loosing track by now:

Kitchen is for 5.3 now, with or without JIT?

5.4 is very nice! but with or without JIT? with apps2SD but without dalvik-cache?

slide port is out now? if so where can I find it?

OTA is very very great but how can I set the Theme Update Server?

Thanks of all these nice toy's (HTC see and learn!)

If you got the answers to my questions I hoop to read them on this good forum.

Hey people,

For reverting back to stockrosie simply flash the stockrosie.zip

You can grab this from the VillainRom5.2 Thred, on the first post.

I'm still testing, and what found out is that the power control widget have blue lights.

The lockscreen has changed to default rosie, Although you can't still change the lockscreen wallpaper.

Maybe Nathan didn't implement this feature on the new 5.4

Don't know, just gessing.

Never had a problem with flashing, but with this one I have.

Did a clean wipe as usual, everything works until it installs and gets to the lock screen. The phone freezes up and I had to take the battery out.

Rebooted again and froze on the lock screen.

Doing a wipe again and going to try it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stewrogers:

Another great release here! Although, I'm finding the text input laggier than on 5.3, but thats a small issue that i can live with.

Exchange sync was working well, up until 8:30 ish this morning. I now get a connection socket error. Anyone getting this, or is it my data connection? Happens on wifi too.

Anyone else seeing anything similar, or getting errors with Orange UK in central London?

Oh okay....

Is the theme still on 5.4?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zebwen:
I'm having big problems trying to update using the OTA updater. I have downloaded the bootfix (which seems redundant since I had to apply it through recovery before I could even get the rom to boot!) and when it reboots into recovery to apply it I get: "E: Error" it goes as far as copying files and then just stops, and I have to reboot the phone manually. After this when the phone boots back up OTA still wants me to install the boot fix, and I can't install any fixes past this?

Any ideas? Also, is there a fix for the MMS problem? For some reason it won't download MMS messages.

Zeb

EDIT: OK I have got past the updater. It seems the update WAS applied, you just need to go back into OTE and tell it to check for new updates! Thats sorted now, so im going to apply all the new ones.

Side note: LOVE this ROM. I thought 5.3 was great but this seems even better. If I am 100% honest I am not very keen on the theme at all, and the lock screen isnt very pleasing to the eyes either, but with OTE theme support im sure this will be fixed soon!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kevinede:
Upgraded to 5.3 - LUSH!

Hi, haven't played with MOD Roms for a while on my Hero (reverted to running Stock Orange - Eugh!). But decided to bite the bullet and give 5.3 a go.......

W O W ! ! !

Love it Love it Love it!

Everything is working, it's very fast, and all the applications work too! Dunno if this is a fluke or not, but absofrigginlutely love this.

Cheers for making such a great ROM :-)

I personally wouldn't phrase it that way, I would say the opposite. Seems very stable and solid to me. My only gripe is with the awful theme and boot loader image which looks tacky, but that's only a cosmetic issue the build is good everything works for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OGC313:

and i do the usual way of flashing, i did not wipe. i flash it over. shall see what happen to my phone..

anyway, I LOVE THE THEME !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OFFWiTYuRHeD:
Yep that is exactly the line I get when I run the updates. To be honest though I don't have the issues that it's supposed to resolve so maybe that's why.

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

I think if you are going to use this theme then somehow the rosie launcher needs a fix where the middle bit does menu and not call.bit confusing when I've been using nexus launcher or go back to the standard rosie launcher

Reboot and let it boot for a while until it crashes at the lockscreen

Flash boot fix

Reboot

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zebwen:
OK, I have now fixed MMS on my phone (on 5.4 fully updated with OTE) by using the instructions originally posted by pulser (but slightly fixed as they appeared to be just a little incorrect).

Here is what to do (make sure your phone is connected, if you are unsure as to wether the android tools can communicate with your phone use the command "adb devices" from the android tools and your phone should be listed if it has been detected):

1) Install Android SDK if you don't already have it.

2) Terminal (cmd) to the ../tools folder.

3) Type the following exactly as written:

adb shell

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

sqlite3 telephony.db

select * from carriers where name = 'Production';

-------- This should show you the Sprint APN that Android is trying to use.

-------- 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';

-------- This should now show the modified APN with your carriers settings.

.exit

exit

-------- DONE

Here is the list of carrier lines to enter:

I am NOT responsible if you totally break your phone doing this, also I can't take credit, this is just modified from things that had alerady been posted.

I am on 3 UK and this process has fixed the error for me, I can now send and receive MMS.

OMG! How many times did I see that question in the last couple of days. I lost count. Just flash your phone with the zip file fix. This might even be written in the post #1, I believe.. just do a search.

Personally I don't understand why people want to have live wallpapers on their Hero at this moment. It doesn't add any function. Instead, it causes a lot of problems.

i meant the Circle with 2 arrows is always shown and i think it should shown only when its sync..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
Yes it is - however, Villain 4.0 was based on a Legend ROM (GSM) and 5.0 based on a Sprint Hero ROM (CDMA). Despite the different radio, it seems that in general the Sprint Hero ROM is far better optimized for the Hero (both GSM and CDMA) than the Legend ROM.

Certainly I've found that 5.0 is way faster than 4.0b2.
