BMinor Bug - Bar Control now doesn't work

Great Rom, faster than 5.1 and stable!

I'm testing deeply and until now I have found a problem: when I use "Bar Control", scrolling the application list until the half it works, then the application stops. But I don't think this is related to the application because I have installed many many ROMs and this is the first ROM where Bar Control is not compatible.

Any Suggestion?

Anyway thanks a lot for your amazing work!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
While not without some problems, this is by far the best 2.1 port for the Hero. If HTC's own update can get anywhere close, or indeed beyond, what we already have then the Hero will certainly gain a lot, if only in re-sale value ;)

I have flashed my own version, with a few minor things modified from the 5.2 release and all works just great. The biggest issue was with the update script which was refusing to work for me without a wipe, which isn't really an option for a small, incremental update ;)

This bit was the culprit:

show_progress 0.200000 0
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
set_perm 1000 1000 0771 DATA:app

After moving that to a separate "post-flash" ZIP, all worked fine.

Again, thanks for all the great work of everyone involved in building this ROM (HTC devs included!).

Hi, just flashed few hours ago, first impressions are good, feels really fast, missing HTCmail new widget from Legend as well as friendstream.

Would really like more languages, I've installed more locale 2 and the keyboard works in spanish, but all the phone still in English...... any help with this?

No such issue with Copilot for me. Went from 5.1 to 5.22 without a wipe and it is working ok (apart from usual need to boot with GPS switched on)

I confirm GPS does NOT WORK HOW IT SHOULD,

with latest radio, (here from the forum) you have to boot with GPS-ON (or-reboot) to get GPS signal,

did a wipe and everything ... that's the status...

greets
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cyberden:
The difference is that, when booted with gps on, it gets a fix and after using it, you can switch off the gps and the phone sleeps, which was not the case before. It makes it usable if you don't turn off your phone all the time.

Re: [ROM]08/04/10 - VillainROM 5.2: RELEASE CANDIDATE - for GSM HERO

hi

I wasn't talking about without wipe, because then you don't need to re install but if you wipe and try re install onto of old data this when prob occur.

these probs don't occur all the time, it can sometimes seem random

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I never considered using you app before Nathan included in 5.1 (didn't think i needed it) but the rom feels so much quicker with it working, and it doesn't mess with my "task panel" app either.

nice work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
you do know that doesn't make any logical sense right?

Without that app your phone is always running more, therefore has lower memory therefore should be slower....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ratson:
not to mention that Autokiller only sets system parameters, so the cleanup is done by the os.... autokiller doesnt even runs unless you run it manually
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ratson:
thank you, i have just won android application of the year contest with it, so it looks like it is usefull for many ;)

any ways, everybody shall update the included version to the latest one (2.2.1). it is much faster and has a lot of improvements
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marinierb:
I don't know about that. If the settings are too high, the OS will keep killing programs that will have to be restarted over and over again.

5.1 Boot Screen

Does anybody have the boot screen from VillainROM 5.1? It's the one taken from the Cyanogenmod ROM where the Nexus One boot screen turns blue instead of the 4 colours, and you have the skateboarding android in the middle.

Much better than the stock HTC boot screen. Someone please help. I've looked all over but only found one without the skateboarding android.

Cheers.

Hi all this is rapid thanks. I have an apps2sd question. If I just ran the 5.2 over the 5.1 all the apps I currently have running won't havegone to the SD card?

Hi...I installed this, flashed it...but nothing, just english...could you make a small tutorial of how to do this?

It would be great...thx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
Well I have been using it all day and this is some of your best work yet. Very fast, and most of all very stable (not one force close yet). Only thing I can find wrong with it is that the it still has the old browser (no biggie) and it doesn't have SIM options (cause it's CDMA).

I use CoPilot quite a lot, and could use it on most of the 2.1 ROM's cause they didn't have enough free RAM and it was sluggish,. but this has the same as MoDaCo for me, which is a real achievement.

Just a word of warning to anyone looking to 'clean it up' by removing apk's... don't remove GTalk, it buggers up GMail and the market!

A quick question to ratson, I updated autokiller from the market but it stops the link in the menu from working. If I uninstall the update, the link works again. Any ideas?

Also, does anyone know how to change the navigation panel? I want to point it at CoPilot, but can't figure out how

EDIT: After a reboot the link to auto killer worked

I wish I had money in my account so I could donate something to you. Until the 18th I won't be able to, so apologies for using your work and not giving something back.

Around a month ago I gave up on my Hero, deciding that UNFORTUNATELY the iPhone is better. It was only after I looked into rooting that I was 100% happy with my reasoning not to be turned into an Apple fan boy.

Thanks for your roms nprussell, it's because of your time and effort (as well as others) that makes the day to day usage of my phone a pleasure. I'll send some money your way in two weeks to show the appreciation.

so, this is the best one I have ever tried,, BUT GPS not working.. anyone else getting that happen ????
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] princedwi:
I know that I've had this issue for so long. Try and put the phone in an open sky area, and wait for like 20 mins with the gps on and google maps running. After a while I got skeptical, and I then tried the Brut version of maps. Suddenly, I got a lock. I didn't even have to restart the phone. Perhaps it just takes a while, but that ended up making the gps work, and this was the first time i saw this running on any of the Villain roms, and that paired with all of the streaming features, working a2dp, and helixlauncher for a vanila android feel makes this one of the best roms out there that are 2.1 based.

I think I flashed my hero around 40 times, but I eventually settled back to Nathan's latest and greatest.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maarch:
for the stock lockscreen anybody got a fix for the transparent background and the message " invalid sim card " ?

As for my side, except that ( wich in fact isnt really part of the ROM ). That version work whitout any singles problem

- GPS work fast

- ROM ( fastest ever had )

- 3G signal work great

- Streaming fixed

- Was able to update whitout a complete wipe

- Every others features work whitout any singles problem

So yeah, if I could fix that lockscreen thing ( cause I like the default one better than the sense one ) That would make this ROM a simple perfection.

I dont think HTC official 2.1 ROM couldnt even come close to it. And if they do, I'm sure nathan will take that rom, root it and make it even better :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ian_4614:

Does anyone have the same problem and is there a fix?

GUYS,

the transparent background with the android lockscreen is actually not a bug.

the update zip in fact is just removing the htc lockscreen which in a way is ''tied '' with the lockscreen wallpaper.

If you want the lockscreen however, you can still do it by installing LockBot from the market . it is an application and you can choose what type of lockscreen you want , the iphone one(slide) the android 2.0 ( curved one) or the and 2.1 one
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cyberon:
Well, this rom is great, really fast, stable but the fact that we can`t hide the SIM contacts its a dealbreaker! :o
