I get a FC every time I try to open a news with HTC news (v. 5.3). Everyone experiencing this??? :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lemmingzappa:
Brilliant, just ran the OTA update and it worked fine. Keep up the good work !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KiLLa:
I tried flashing 5.4 twice, cleared data and dalvik cache before and after flashing but both times I get stuck at the bootscreen. The animation stops and my Hero just hangs... what can I do about this? I was coming from Modaco 3.2...

EDIT: Wiped the ext partition and now the rom boots fine, but didn't make a backup of my apps so now I will have to do a nandroid restore first, back them up, flash again and restore...

Could anyone provide the theme from 5.3 as i much prefered this, and i do not want to use stock rosie either. thanks :)

anyone know the best radio to use with this ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mickb00:
I've upgraded to 5.4 and everything is working great apart from friendstream which I would love to get working really would.

I could'nt getting working at all on 5.3 either

Can anyone explain to me how to get it working.

I've signed into the HTC Facebook and also facebook but still not working I also cleared out the data from the manage applications but still cannot get it working.

It just stays at loading and nothing else happens

Again would really love to get it working

When I said "Galley Button" I meant the phone button shaped like a gallery of photos.

Anyways, I just flashed again the 5,4 and did not installed the livewallpaper patch. Then I saw the 3d gallery for the first time ! It is amazing ! I guess I will keep with static wallpapers for now...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kuljit123:
WTF???

I'm on VillainROM 5.3.

I was updating the radio, which all went fine. When I did a reboot, I received a text message dated 28 Aug 1980?!? bit unexpected... Is that a default reset date? or did my update go pear shaped?

hi nathan,

would it be possible to release a 'standard non-themed rosie' 5.4 rom ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ironman666:
Whats the fastest and best way in going from 5.3 to 5.4?

flash the new 5.4 without wipe, or with wipe?

or

If i flash the OTA update, do i need to wipe ? if i do need to wipe, do i wipe all of them ? (Wipe data/factory reset, dalvik cache, SD:ext partition, battery stats & rotate settings)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] trikko:
Problem here. OTA won't work. It downloads the rom, then it verify checksum. It asks me to "apply now" and try to get root access in order to reboot phone. I've tried it, but nothing happens. It just write "trying to get root access ... " and then message disappears...

Obviusly I've installed ota .apk over 5.3 release...

I dont know how to do it but apparently accourding to his post there is a fix he has made because i would love to try the live wallpapers with sense
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LTourist:
hi,

love the OTA feature, I just saw that 3.4.1 is out with that tool :D That's a huge improvement imo :)

That's my first time on a 2.1, and I must say that's better than I thought it was. This is almost as fast as my old Modaco 3.2, which was a reference for me :)

Don't know about battery performance, seems quite good until now, but I think it can't be better than Modaco, as this is not an optimised hero kernel :)

I'm facing some weird bug althought, GPS can't get a location in maps... With the 'Compass', I checked and it seems that I can't get any satellites... I know their was a bug with the gps, but I thought it was solved...

EDIT : also, do you have any server I can use to check for themes ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rayjt9:
I asked that on the villainrom forums: The bugs are still being worked out for OTA and so there are no themes up on any theme servers yet.

Hope that helped. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phil_UK:
Hi Villains!

Just donated, well impressed with OTA. Works like a charm for me.

Since a few minutes, I'm having the com.htc.bgp (from com.htc.sync.provider.weather package) that takes 100% of my CPU... And when I kill it, it relaunch itself (it's a service) and takes about 10-15% of the cpu... What's that process ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] simonsteele:
Anyone tried Google Navigation Beta with 5.4 (5.3) in UK?

All works apart from in the map part of navigation you don't get the map.

Also get USA voice.

I assume that this is to do with the origins of this ROM.

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tsekh501:
I had this problem before. It has to do with the live wallpaper patch, which screws up everything. With the waller paper patch installed, both Neocore and Gallery run like slideshow on my Hero, and Google Map Street view crashes all the time. Live wallpapers work, but not smooth at all.

Removing the live wallpaper patch (by re-flashing the VillainRom w/o applying the live wallpaper patch) solved everything, except that live wallpapers are now gone but I don't care.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Neoangel21:
ok i'll try this
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j0bro:
Oh no! No themes!

@nathan: please remove this hideous theme from your ROM.

As you see, one may find it wonderful and another despises it. I respect the work of the themer as he clearly put quite a few hours in it but it's not my taste and reading through some previous pages, I'm clearly not alone.

The boot screen is like a detergent commercial, the theme like a Crysis Nanosuit and the OTA updater has the Cyanogen colours. It has all become a little too chaotic for my taste as nothing matches and are not in Android/Sense style.

You may expect that Google/HTC did a nice job already finding out which color palettes and widget shapes work best internationally and have a high acceptance factor and to be honest, these don't.

Please makes these 'upgrades' optional!

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

what versions are you all running? mine is 5.4.0

but I have seen people mention 5.4.1 and 5.4.2, yet I can't find them

I also can't see any updates in the OTA application

also have to agree about the theme, its awful and the boot screen isn't much better

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LTourist:
I agree with you, but please, don't be so rude dude... I don't like that theme either but whatever, I'm ready to wait a few days more to return back to the original theme.

By the Way, I can't find how to launch Navigation... Can't see it in gMaps, the only thing I saw is "Directions", which is not Navigation obviously... Do I miss anything ?

Somehow i really miss the htc widgets, freandstream widget and the option to change lockscreen background.

Ok forget it about the widgets, it has started to show them, don't asdk me why!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] btdag:
These features are still in the latest ROM... why do you miss them?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LTourist:
Well, it does not work... But maybe it's because I can't get a gps location (gps won't lock satellites). Indeed, what's the point of having gps navigation without actually having gps location ? ^^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] trebiani:

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

this may happen if you are coming from a non villain Rom and don't wipe, both phone and ext partition. Just pull the battery out and do the wipe and reflash. this should work.

The greenish camera have been in this rom from the very first version till now,All 2.1 version of this rom have that problem.

Doesn't work due to the SenseVillain Theme limitations. Needs to be done through metamorph.

Personally, this theme is a deal breaker for me. I don't mind the blue but the lockscreen and the altered bottom bar just annoy me too much. Might go back to (sigh) BeHero.

Since this is a CDMA port (they dont use SIMs) you dont have the setting to show/hide them.

I have quite a problem after installing 5.4: I cannot unlock my SIM card, the process just block there.

I had installed 5.4 over 5.3 but today I decided to go on a fresh clean install.

So full wipe (factory, data, sd and davlik) and install from the zip. I also applied the fix for booting.

Everytime I try to install, same problem. I enter my pin code and then I block on unlocking sim card (the blue bar stop circling).

Does anyone have the same problem?

Yeh I seem to be having that problem aswell, the OTA fixes go into recovery mode but don't finish their install process...I just rebooted my phone and left the fixes for the time being.

I updated from 5.2 straight to 5.4 and I'm loving how its feels just that bit more solid and stable, sense feels so sharp and fluid and noticeable improvements on battery life too.

I have to agree with some of the others though, I'm not very keem on that boot load image and the menu bar at the bottom of the screen or the android style status bar. But I'd rather have this version which runs smoothly than move back to an older version and lose the refinements. Patiently waiting to see what comes of the themes OTA update.
