Hi thanks Nathan this is lightning quick. I have to problems which id like to share. I can flash without a wipe and its fine but if I wipe it hangs on HTC screen for a looonnnggg time. Why would this problem occur? Secondly the friendstream widget keeps crashing my sense so it has to reload all the time? I cleared senses data also?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
thanks man
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
The first boot after a wipe is always going to be long because the phone has to generate files to make the boot and system faster.

I don't know why friendstream would crash sense, is this after a complete wipe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bullys1974:
pls share your knowledge of adding other languages... if it comes to translate to german i'd offer help doing that.

regards bullys
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raecarter82:
Thanks for the quick response how long would you estimate that it hangs on HTC for I feel it has crashed because the light stop going from left to right on the logo if you understand me? I can't full wipe that's my problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:

It's a main release with some decent improvements, check out the start of this thread to see what's changed, if you are concerned about reinstalling everything with each update go get titanium backup from the market, and then backup all apps and data, this will allow you to quickly restore all your stuff.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
As I said it's not possible at the moment. But I hope that once brut.all finishes his next version of apktool it'll be possible to decompile 2.1 system files (that's what is required for adding other languages).

Aha, so the light stopped? In that case something is wrong. Did you wipe everything and do you have apps2sd? Also, a logcat after it has stopped would help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raecarter82:
I wiped factory and dalvik but wasn't sure on the third one should I wipe that also? I have a2sd also I'm sorry but am unfamiliar with a log cat? If I click on the third wipe option will it clear my SD card?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
No, it clears the ext parition on your sd card (which means all your apps etc). You should always wipe everything if it crashes on the boot screen, that usually fixes it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raecarter82:
Ok excellent what will happen to my apps2sd then? I just run the batch app restore on titanium after? Thank you homer
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
Yeah, apps2sd is enabled only if you have an ext partition, even if it happens to be wiped.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kyods:
Thanks for all your great contributions to the community, Nathan! The ROM is blazing fast indeed, I found two oddities, however:

1. The gallery doesn't seem to display the pictures. It is loading up and displaying the names of the folders, a couple of times it even showed me the one or two thumbnails, but they faded away into the background after a few moments.

2. HTC music player is having issues reading some of the album art embedded in mp3s. I'd say 15 out of 200 tracks on my SD card seem to be affected, they are played just fine, there's just no album art. All the files are tagged correctly.

I did a full wipe before flashing, and I tried a couple of reboots, but they didn't make any difference. Both these features were working fine in 5.2.

EDIT:

I believe I managed to get rid of the Gallery issue. What I did was a reflash without wipe and without applying the Live Wallpapers patch. Still trying to sort out the album art problem.

EDIT2:

Fixed the album art problem by full wipe and reflash without installing the LW fix.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raecarter82:
Sorry for endless questions but dpi then have to "partition SD" again and will that clear my SD card?

how do you remove the special htc keyboard?? i rather go back to the stock version of the htc keyboard
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
Can we get this back, would be a bonus ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
If you partition your SD card then yes, that will clear your SD card. But wiping the ext partition doesn't actually remove it, only removes the data.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raecarter82:
Excellent do I just run that apps2sd fix to move them back then
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
You don't need to run anything, apps2sd is enabled automatically. Which means that apps are installed on the sd card.

nice but i found some bugs,

no locale settings works with morelocale2, also it can't properly identify my location when using the weather widget, instead of stockholm it says sweden, even when my gps is enabled.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] de39:
awesome !! THANKS A LOT !!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j0bro:
I say WOW that is a seriously well done ROM, fast and smooth, good job Nathan!

One thing I noticed though, very odd, when I start the camera from within the Gallery (tapping the upper right corner) the camera only offers the Small 640x417 resolution. When I start the standalone Camera app, all is well (except for the bluish color temperature but alas). Now when I long-press Home to bring up the Task Manager, I see the Camera twice. Are there two separate Camera installs?

Now I don't know about you, but here across the waves in the Netherlands the weather is marvelous and nobody should sit behind their PC right now! I am off to a nice bicycle ride, cheers!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tsekh501:
Is it just me or the 3D performance of 5.3 is extremely bad? Basically Gallery and Neocore run like slideshow on my Hero (Nerocore ran very smoothly on my Hero previously with stock and Modaco roms).

I came from Modaco 3.2, wiped everything before installing VillainROM 5.3 (live wallpaper fix is also installed). Tried running Neocore and Gallery after reboot, and after killing unnecessary tasks, but no matter what I do they run like slideshow. Beside the slow performance, some objects are not rendered with correct color in Neocore. For example, black smoke is now light blue, and the white robot is now purple. Other than 3D, the overall performance of the ROM is very good, and high quality youtube videos play smoothly.

If everybody else is getting good 3d performance, what setting/program on my Hero could be causing such poor performance?

I'm using the Telus HTC Hero btw.

Hi

I see that some has metioned the FriendStrem Widget - how do I put the Friendstream Widtget on one of the 7 screens?

Only option I have found is a program shortcut - I would be very happy if it would be possible to use FriendStream like the facebook widget.

........and if its not possible - then im missing my Peep/twitter widget too - how do I get that back?

Best regards,

I am having a lot of problems with contacts. Only about two thirds of my google contacts are actually showing on the phone. When I create a contact on the phone it appears on google but not on the phone, same when I create a contact in gmail, doesn't appear on phone. When I try to link a google contact with their facebook profile it links that google contact to ALL my facebook contacts. When I touch "groups" I get "loading" but it never loads, often get a message that com.google.process.gapps has stopped working. Had this in 5.2 and now in 5.3, going back to 3.2 now where I have no such issues.

Contrary to most experiences here my Friendstream works 90% fine. It doesn't like when I press the manual update button on the widget--it pretends to update, but doesn't. So I'm at the mercy of whenever the auto update kicks in.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stari4ek:
FriendStream's service kept device from going to sleep. When I kill it manually through task manager - everything is fine. Finally uninstalled it at all.

3D Gallery can't render photos. (probably, cause of LW fix, as it was mentioned some pages before. will check.)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
The reason LWP was not included in the rom, is that it has a detrimental affect on other graphical elements.

Please bear that in mind. LWP is optional, but be aware that it will more than likely break other sections of the rom.

Hey, seems like a nice ROM. How's the battery life?

Due to battery drain was the reason i downgraded from an older version of Villain (probably 3.2 or something) to my old stock version in the first place...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
That "fix" also moves the dalvik-cache to the sd card. That's why you have 110mb left after applying it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jUsT2eXy:
not bad. Use Juice defender for best results. It is free... and Ultimate Juice (paid app) which is an addon and gives you more features.. It will help give your Hero an extra day or even two or battery life.. so altogether 2-3 minimum (depending on use) ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jUsT2eXy:
Dalvik can't be 70MB now can it. ;)

Apps2SD did not work for me and another 2 people. Even after a full wipe, reformat of SD. Swap 0, 512 EX2 then EX3 ... FAT = the rest

40MB left after I rebooted :eek:

& now it's back to how it was when I had apps2sd working with 4.0 / 5.2 etc etc

Other ROMs such as BeHero I had no problems with Apps2SD. No fixes needed it was auto enabled.. as long as you had an ex3.. but with every Villain ROM I have had to use a fix to enable it.
