Oh .. It's alright
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
?? what do you mean?

do they work at your phone???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MamaKin:
I've found this happens to mean on other ROMs. I haven't tried it on the VillainROM though.

I guess the wallpaper reverts as the live wallpaper has effectively 'crashed'?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
well it doesn't crash, it just goed back to the normal wallpaper :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thunderglaive:
No i mean it's alright they dont work :) Hero users is waiting for the official android 2.1 so ofcause it will work in that upgrade
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
no there won't be any official livewallpapers in the official 2.1 rom :-(

at least, thats what i read at these forums..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thunderglaive:
Oh really? Sounds sad. Atleast we have a faaast phone to enjoy!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MattX:
Guys plz help, i need answer until monday:)

Where can i get the PDF VIEWER?:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
have you already tryed to search the androidmarket??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MattX:
:)

You should know that quickoffice and pdf viewer are the original ones, and you cant get them on market.

the market pdf reader arest as fast as the origi, and u can use multitouch in it!:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
hmmmm... if you can tell me a rom where it is in, maybe i can rip it out for you ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
Allright here you go.

i've ripped these from the newest slidevillian, so i think you can install them and use them ^^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] empirehell:
Thank you very much for your roms : I use them since I have my hero and I'va always been satisfied ! :)

But I have a problem with the last 5.5 rom : i don't have any data connexion : no EDGE, no 3G ... :confused:

I live in France and use Orange network.

I wiped ervrything (cache, sd ext, factory reset ... etc) and try to flash several times without any improvement ... :(

Is there any solution ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thierry_b:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BrZ!:
Is the 5.4.4 theme also available for 5.5?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
how did you get it working!!?!

i just can't seem to just enable them :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] empirehell:
Thank you !

I flashed this update then reboot the reset to default apn settings and then reboot again but data connxion is still not working :(

Are you sure flashing APN fix will enable 3g networks :confused: :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
maybe you have to add them manually, you can find them on the internet ;-)

or enable them in the settings ;P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] empirehell:
Ok, I'm going to look for these settings ...

The only question is why ??

I had never had the same trouble with villainroms before ... :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
go here:

Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> press the menu button there, and you can add your own APN :D

for the right settings you can contact your provider or take a look at this list:

Thx it's ok now !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] msiviter:
A brilliant ROM!

5.5 is much better looking than 5.4 imho, this is very close to my ideal ROM if only the voicemail notification worked.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kiedamrong:
hi nprussell, thanks a bunch for this rom. i really like the speed and interface. however, i need your help to advise me on how to fix the dialing not to add 1 in front of every number i dial out please? :p

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
can anybody tell me is wifi is working in this rom yet ? Also is there a faster downloading website i can get this rom from like mirrors anybody ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikael120:
if this is the slowest villian rom you have ever used then you have definitively done something wrong, did you wipe before you flashed the rom? if not please do so

yes wifi is working in this version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
Any mirrors any where else that you know of ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] salvo62:
Per me il wifi funziona benissimo.

Si deve sistemare la lingua, x le chiamate bisogna

What am i doing wrong.....

I did a nandroid backup of my villain rom 3.4

Then I Wipe then flash it with the new villain rom 5.0 it flashed ok....but it hangs/freezes on the nexus boot screen....

someone wrote he got the same freeze on boot screen and he said just clear the cache and flash again....so i did....still the same ...still freezes on boot screen..... i tried to wipe...with the first three options still the same....

what is wrong
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dpi295:
Take out your memory card and reboot.

When it is booted up, put it back in.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lordofcamster:
I had the same problem.

I wiped again (all)

and then flashed again an it works!

The first boot takes about 5 min !!!

And then it RUNNNNNNNNNS!!

thx 4 this rom!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ariozo:
Very nice Rom, most things work inc. Wifi for me. But one small prroblem i ogt that the phone put in "1" in front off many numbers i try to call so that means alot off numbers i cant even call as i get that 1 in front off number all time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alti4:
I know, it's annoying to read 44 pages, but at least the first post from the dev of this ROM should be possible (you alway should read the first post if you install a new ROM...). This problem is described there and also in many other posts in this thread.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ratson:
no problem, i just wanted to make the situation clear, any ways AutoKiller is about 60k is size, so you wouldn't gain much free space ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thunderglaive:
Cool Rom! Totaly awesome!

- But the RSS reader (News) doesn't work. Hopefully there will be an update
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
Why doesnt the hot fixes shows in the version no like in 5.4, so it's possible to see if it have been appliede. e.g. apn fix should be 5.5.1.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] butterbeanmash:
I do too. I think it's something to do with a contact or a bookmark or the like, but I've no idea which one and the FC doesn't seem to affect the performance of anything as yet...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MistaJae:
Loving this rom. I've come from MCR 3.2 and wanted to give Android 2.1 a try.

I backedup, wiped, flashed VillainROM 5.5, then immediately flashed the APN fix (without rebooting) and instantly had network on startup! I also used MMSzap to get picture message working. I then changed to GSM Auto PRL to see if that helps battery life (jury is still out on this one...)

The only problem is that calls sometimes go straight to voicemail without the phone ringing! This wouldn't be much of a problem if voicemail notification worked (having said that, many people will probably just hang up rather than leave a message).

Has anyone else noticed calls going straight to voicemail? Is this a phone issue, network issue or rom issue?

I'm using a UK T-Mobile branded Hero/G2.

I can't get the APN list working.

I downloaded the APN fix and applyed it, but when I go to the APN list and restore defaults, it stays on "Restoring default APN settings". How long should this take?

I got the APN fix via OTA update first, and then manually installed it, but neither work.

I have noticed a delay in sliding the home screens (HTC SENSE) comparing to 1.5 (i tested it with 2 heroes side by side, 1.5 and 5.5 villain)

When you slide to right or left in 1.5 it is immediate while in 5.5 villainrom the screen starts to slide a little bit after the finger.

Can somebody conferm this?

Thanks!

I don't like haptic feedback either.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bteong0:
thats what i did too! i thought there are other simpler way to disable it.

btw, the keyboard is laggy. I came from overclocked kimera 1.8. everything is faster compared to this rom. (it drains the battery like a champion too).

gonna switch back to kimera1.8. i can stand charging my phone 2 time perday using kimera1.8 rather than waiting extra 5 seconds for the screen to rotate and keyboard to pop up when using Villainrom5.5
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikeyd85:
I'll stick here for a while, see what 2.1 is like having not used it before. See if the battery life is tolerable or not...

Anyone experiencing this issues too ?:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I'm aware of the lag, and I'm working on it.

There will be a whole new VillainROM coming soon - so hang in there :)

The lag is generally affecting people who flashed without a wipe. Could you confirm that at all those of you with the lag?

I will fix it, I assure you :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikeyd85:
I believe you mate. I've been lurking around here a while and you seem to have eliminated a fair few bugs from your ROM. I have picked this ROM hoping that it'd be good for every day use (I really can't be bothered flashing and restoring every thing time and again! :p ) and I'm quite content with it.

Still, looking forward to the updates and whatever they may bring! :D

Full wipe, the lag is here :) however not such a huge problem to me.

'lag', delays.. specially when opening sense applications (sms app, people, clock / alarm). For example, it takes a few seconds for the clock app to open when you click on it on the homescreen. But after it opens, it takes a full second for the 'page' bar at the bottom (desk clock, world clock, alarms, etc..) to respond. Once it does, it's fluid.

Villain 5.5, full wipe, even removed my ext partition (although I never used them AFAIK). So, one regular FAT partition on SD, full wipe and install (flashed the updated OTA-updater and APN list directly after flashing rom, then booted 1st time).

Hey people, been using this for a while now but I have a few problems. Haven't had time to post about it or try to fix, but if anyone could help now that would be great.

I cannot seem to get any 3G network connection to work, HSPDA and 2G seem to work fine. Also, my google contacts wont sync. Its just perpetually saying it's syncing them...

Really would appreciate it if there was a fix for these two, apparently 5.6 comes out this weekend so I guess I could wait. Oh and battery life has been pretty crap recently, but looking at usage its all down to the radio, so I assume if I can fix the 3G problem then that will go away.

Again, I hope someone can help and cheers guys! :)

Extremely happy - small bug alarm doesn't always dismiss...

Thank you all for all the instructions to do this right so that even a noob like me got going the first time :)

Everything works for me including Friendfeed (really like that feature of 2.1) except for a small bug - when the alarm goes of, dragging the dismiss alarm does not stop the alarm ringing. This happens randomly not everytime ( I have three alarms set for everyday).

Also Battery life is very very short - have tried everything but cant seem to get it to go beyond 6 hours or thereabout

If I send long sms (in french), with some character like "ç in Handcent, the indicator "/160" at the left bottom side transform to /70 or /67, and when I send this sms, it's only the second split which is received.

Exemple in french:

Cool! All love goes to melodaf which fixed our GPS problem

If you want to use your GPS then follow the couple of steps:

1) Turn it on in your settings (or widget)

2) Reboot your phone

3) When your phone is rebooted it runs like butter! :cool:
