Advantage of Vanillain 2 over v.1.1?

Is it worth my while upgrading Vanillain1.1 to this new version,considering that wifi still does not work and i'm overall happy with 1.1?Are there any "super" advantages that anyone has found after flashing v.2,such as better battery life,etc.Most of the Market live wallpapers work(those i downloaded on v.1.1).I found that ,as it happens ,those i like best do run well.Considering that i am not a "Flashaholic",is it worth it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kyuuketsuki:
hello, the Rom look interresting, but i just want to know if you have an ETA for the next release?

thanks and good night ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] blurredsoul:
Looking forward to the next version of Vanillain! You're doing some great work on the Sense roms and it seems you've reached already an excellent level on that side.

But I believe there are several of us lovers of AOSP roms that would love to use your version of a Vanilla one.

Patiently waiting... ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
If you are a donator, there is an excellent superhero rom that is part vanilla with a hint of sense. Very hard to describe it, but I am a sense fan and its the first vanilla one I've stuck with for more than an hour.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ablivian:
is it normal, that when i installed this rom for the first time, that the boot takes a long time?

the start up screens stays black
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mousse04:
I get a FC when I try to enter in the APN list menu.

Anyway thanks for your rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
flashing, will see
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thho5:
It crashes all the time. Acore failiure on boot, and when i press force shutdown it just hangs after exiting a random app.

It has crashed on camera, and on gallery so far.

I liked the other CDMA port much better, but I guess this is a beta. You should do something about the white bar. I feel like something is gone, not the color but something graphical maybe? I dunno.

Anyways, I love your roms. I used to hate 2.1 before i found yours.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OzOne666:
I have 2 bugs:

FC with Calendar widget

FC in the install wizard when i will change the GTM

Thank you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
its a bad upload then. All of those features work perfectly for me.

Taking links down.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zero00SM:
just flashed.No problem.Works like a charm.

This is not good.It's outrageouslly brilliant
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
Boooo!!

waiting for the new links like its xmas eve, lol
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Why are some people getting errors???

So confused. I've just taken all of the links down.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
I bet they didnt wipe,

il have a try if you want
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thho5:
I was wondering if there is a way to reboot the phone when it crashes without taking out the battery?

When i flashed your rom I did a complete wipe, everything after the book. So I dont know why some dont encounter any errors. I did plenty. But it has big potential;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
pretty strainge, I'm waiting for it to end the first boot :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] woehrl:
wiped the fourth time now. Everything! Dalvik. Ext. Data. And it still doesn't boot. Also tried another mirror (first EU, than UK) both, freeze on boot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
confirmed, hang to me also, full wipe, nandroid back
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Better wait until I re-upload then. Considering that 80% of people can't get it to boot! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
yes probably something went wrong :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] namakemono:
Had the same problem with the Villainrom CDMA port.. Does it boot if you remove the sdcard before power on ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
Ahhh poop!! lol

And i was hoping for a simple error, oh well another day wont hurt
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vvaleta28:
There is my perfect one, me has started to the first one doing the 3 wipes, it is the past one.

Thank you nprussell
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lordofcamster:
Works perfekt!

I did :

1. Nandroid Backup (+ext)

2. WIPE everything

3. Flash

4. WIPE again! (Factory reset)

5. Boot! :) (4-5 min wait)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dhorst:
Feedback

I just got it booted, had no problems what so ever:cool:

wil post another feedback when I played with it a little more!

Launcher 2 seems to be really responsive! no freeze at all.

2 things i do not like:

When you slide down the notification bar you will see a part of the HTC Stock sense bar.

And I have a very bad signal (maybe the radio)

THATS AL;) stupid things I posted!that means for me 'this rom is awesome'

Great work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zero00SM:
It could be because of no ext wipe?I had some similar simptoms because of that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] markatmgpc:
Boots OK, but no people / contact app and messaging fc trying to save a number to contact - probably same thing?

Looks good, but otherwise back to 5.02

MG
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK guys. Nathan's not able to deal with this tomorrow morning, but I'm gonna take up the case. I'm backing up and plan to take a look at this...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mafiadog:
Works great , why are people complaining? downloaded from Us mirror.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
Yes!! Good luck, wouldnt mind getting a look at this, cant get on with sence
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nafem:
Thanks. Eager to get this ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dajones89:
Boots alright for me, really quick!!! but the gallery app crashed upon exit :( on reboot i had 2 FC's one being android.process.core not sure on the other.

is there a nexus style lock screen under the one on the rom?

oh i like the blue nexus boot screen :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jens.bergqvist:
Flashed it successfully and everything I've tested so far has worked except for two things. First, the very annoying browser resolution bug has reappeared (http://www.villainrom.co.uk/bug/view.php?id=2). It worked in CDMA Villain so there is some important difference between the ROMs. Second, I noticed a very slight graphics corruption in the Zoom Controls in the browser.

Overall, very nice work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dajones89:
hello from swansea!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dhorst:
gallery and launcher hangs!

had to reboot the phone:(

Sorry for the negative reaction
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] holyshit1:
Please upload screenshots from home screen .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
Oi oi, hi!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mafiadog:
Word of advice to make it work :

1) Nand Backup

2) Wipe data,dalvik

3) flash

4) Wipe again

5) Reboot .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Latoc:
It would be so much easier if the md5 sum of the zip file was posted in the first post so we could check the downloaded file against the original, the one nathan used on his phone. Do I sound stupid ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
No, but what Nathan thinks happened was that he uploaded a wrong or broken file. So the md5 would have matched anyway...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
now it booted, testing :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GXFX:
Hi , the rom is just the best Vanilla 2.1 rom i ever tried ! :D

Some things that you need to fix for next release :

- The Dialer . At this rom , we have the HTC Sense dialer , but the Nexus One Dialer is much better ( and this is a vanilla rom , isn't it ? )

- The Calendar . Same Thing as Dialer .

- Live Wallpapers : Only Downloaded live wallpapers work ! The live wallpapers that comes installed DOES NOT WORK !

- Lockscreen : Can you please put the Nexus One Lockscreen ? It's muuch more beautiful :D

I only noticed this for now .

BTW , this still the best 2.1 rom ... but i'm back to MoDaCo because of this bugs :/

regards ;

gxfx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dajones89:
heres screen shots of mine
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I have re-enabled the links over at http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=64&p=621#p621 since this ROM works fine :)

Nathan will update the first post ASAP...

New category will be added to bugtracker.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
yes it works and it's pretty fast... but I can't seem to be able to restore my sms with titanium backup, any help?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
mmmmm, strange, just flashed and i got no gallery, maps or java, will try again, i wiped everything after the initial flash, guessing i shouldnt have wiped everything again?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
the bootscreen is looking normal at first, then changes to blue, plays 2 times, and then goes SUPERSPEED with the blue bootscreen :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skedone:
is that the brut mod for google or do i have to install that one my self
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Von Ropen:
Is the new update the same rom as the first? I succefully installed the first rom uploaded... do I need to change the se second one, or it is not necessary...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
Re-flashed and still no maps or contacts / people app.

I also notice that the friendstream.apk is included in the package but not seen it installed?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeren:
can someone who successfully booted the rom please upload it to mediashare or 4shared ....somewhere cause the current link is down.

Have to flash something tonight to relieve the frustration caused by the lies of HTC.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
No. The new links are exactly the same as the old ones. We pulled them as nathan thought the ROM was faulty, but it wasn't so I put them back up for him...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Try http://villainrom.kriev.com/VanillainNEW1.zip

It's one of the actual mirrors, but it definitely works :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Never wipe after flash. Wipe before. Not after. Unless told otherwise in instructions.

Just reflash to get that stuff back :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
yeah i wiped and re-flashed again but still there is no maps or any way of viewing my contacts.

Can anyone confirm if they are included, if so il give it another try, at the moment ive restored a nandroid.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joshlusignan:
I had the same problem as you...I just reflashed for second time and all is good now. I think I did the second wipe/factory reset that someone advised earlier the first time and didnt do it the second time.

Just checking into it a little furter and now I cannot find people, but gallery is there now...Ill keep tryin.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
yeah i did the second wipe the 1st flash but didnt do it the second time. Second time around i had gallery and java but still no contatcs or maps.

Do you have contacts / people app?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeren:
thanks. downloading now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] okdac:
Accelerator...

Hi guyz,

Greaaaaaat ROM, but (until now) :

1. No accelerator

2. Nav doesn't work, FC at selecting a contact, despite Maps works.

Thx again for all the big big job.

:cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joshlusignan:
Nope and just trying out Gallery now too...just keeps loading. I keep testing today and try to report bugs on the tracker. Im out for the day now. Happy testing everyone!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skedone:
yes i can confirm there is no maps or people app or friend stream or quite a few other widgets.

BUT there is the people app or just press the call button to get your contacts up mate

also i just installed tweetdroid pro and google maps from the market for now.

also what is the best laucher to use guys nexus or home

p.s im using the nexus laucher and also gallery loads but then crashes when i try to exit in fact it freezes the phone
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Archie The Leper:
Can you replace the lockscreen?

Tried with a pic of my own but FC
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phil-Dar:
Livewallpapers are turn off after lockscreen. There is a fix for this bug ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] leffep:
Thanks for a great job!

I have installed this rom 2 times now (after all wipe)

Have some errormessage when set up my local e-mail (G-mail work fine)

But the calendar (that i use most) dont show anything when came from month-view, but agenda-view are ok.

I cant make a new calendar notificatio at all, so i go back to my previus rom and wait for 5.03 of Villain rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
Didn't get the people app, didn't get any contacts sync either, calendar and mail did though. Pressed the phone button but due to the obvious lack of contact sync there was nothing there. If u look within

the actual zip, inside app folder there is the friendstream apk so I'm guessing its intended to be installed.

Think Il wait till its re uploaded till i give it another go.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bludhemn:
I dont have the people's app either. Wiped twice and flashed. When I press the phone button, my contacts shows up. If I call a contact, and press the icon on the right side next to 'end call', I get an FC, and my gsm network gets disconnected. It comes back after a few seconds. If i choose the icon next to a contact, I get FC on 'android.process.acore'. Tried the gallery while using Launcher2; it comes up fine but cant close it. It just freezes there. Have to reboot now. However the gallery seems fine with default Home.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] duanes:
Can anyone confirm if bleutooth audio calls are working in this build?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] QuikerHero:
Got Freeeeze when trying to rotate my phone in 3D Gallery. I've got just black screen with notification bar.. After reboot Gallery is just saying "Loading...", and there is no pictures at all. When I tried to go "back" (by pressing button on the phone), I got freeze again...

Gonna go to 5.02...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] woehrl:
ok, I know now why it's freezing during startup. It must be a problem with a2sd. I tried 5.02 and it show's the same problem. Every other rom works, except this one. When I remove the sd-card it boots as expected.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Quistnix:
Apart from two problems, this rom seems to be almost perfect.

First, there's the APN bug, which can be solved by APN backup and restore. Second, the browser no longer zooms on double-tap or when selecting a input form. As far as I'm concerned, this last one is a major problem. Is there a way to install the old browser over this one?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reeja:
Hi nathan,

almost good shot! Have found two bugs though:

- Exchange setup not working on first setup screen. When adding Exchange account later on it only asks for mails and contacts to synch but not calendar

- trying to choose wihich calendars to show in calendar app FC

Regards,

reeja.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mardurhack:
Nice work Nathan ;) But automatic brigthness doesn't work... :( any idea? On 5.02 it works perfectly!

PS: No accelerometer, APN list force close, Ok maybe I'll upgrade to the next release ;) Keep improving this rom Nathan! Performance is great!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tron13:
The best realease of you nathan i have to say you big greek BRAVO. thanks for your time...

i will donate you again
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dajones89:
i come accross something that happens on 1 or 2 apps. i got a basketball game off the market and when i go to exit it i get a black screen with the notification bar. if i hold the power button down the menu appears so i think its just not loading the launcher back up?

oh and theres no maps with the release even though my screenshot shows it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shamsud:
ROM is very stable and fast but flash plugin is not working in browser
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tomikoran2:
can somebody put some pictures of this rom please...

thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fizzle101:
great rom and thanks a lot. there is a lot of potential in this build and i have been looking for an AOSP rom because personally i think sense ui is too bloated for our htc hero because of the less ram and cpu as it does fly on nexus and desire.

from my experience so far setting the wallpaper from the setting menu causes FCs but this is a minor issue for me.

the sensor based rotation does not work and there is no way to rotate to landscape mode.

there other small bugs but if at least the rotation is fixed then i will consider using this rom on a daily basics.

thanks again for your great effort.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sc0rpp:
How can i get gps work?? i tried it turn on and then i turned my phone off and then against on but this would not help! help me please :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tucka20:
Has anybody got any stats on free space left over on here after clean install?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Biglebowski85:
Same problem here!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snaven:
Tried reflashing the radio?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] princedwi:
Strange, this was the first time I didn't have an issue with the GPS. O.o I used the standard google maps downloaded from the market. Not sure if that'd fix your problem. Also try a wipe when the rom's installed..perhaps that might address some issues.

Also, I found a few more quirks:

Voice recognizer - Looks like Handcent SMS does not know where the voice to text feature is either. "Recognizer not present".

Facebook Sync - Probable cause of constant-on sync. I turned it off and since haven't seen the sync as often.

Gallery - freezes phone when you navigate around it frequently, forcing battery removal to restart.

FC Mayhem - Application Open Sense Plugin Manager (in process com.htc.opensense.pluginmanager) is not responding. Process android.process.acore is not responding. Process com.htc.bg is not responding. Application Touch Input (in process com.htc.android.htcime) is not responding. android.process.acore was also FC once again, and the Nexus Launcher FC'ed too. Not too sure what this means, but I've since installed Handcent SMS and attempted to make a picture a photo frame widget, and had to remove battery and replug battery in effort to recover from said crashed Gallery app. This combination occurred during my most recent power down and power up. :( Edit:I've narrowed it down. Looks like the errors came from the Music Widget and the Photo Frame widget. Removing them eliminated any errors.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CrabMan:
com.htc.android.htcsetupwizard force closes when i try to set time zone

If i use it without setup wizard and choose my city - Moscow, it sets correct time, but it says, Moscow has gmt +4, but in fact it has gmt +3
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sperug:
WOW! First no-sense rom with working a2dp! Thank you so much!!

I don't know if it is my fault, but I'm unable to set any new event in calendary, as I try, it crashes...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ekowanz:
just flash your roms....i loved vanilla,and in your hands its really amazing. Fast....and love the nexus launcher rather than sense...

hope u'll keep to maintenance this rom...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] princedwi:
Confirmation of working features:

A2DP - No issues with music through Droidlive, not too sure about calls. Will update when I get the chance to test.

Another list of bugs:

GPS - Doesn't seem to be working past the first bootup. Not too sure, will continue to investigate.

Call Logs - When accessing missed calls from the notifications window, the phone does not switch to any call log. I was using Youmail voicemail service with SMS notification, so I was at least able to know who called me during those few moments. Of course, everytime I restart the phone, it kindly reminds me of said missed calls, and that looks like it's racking up quickly..><;

FC - Looks like I get two errors, one dealing with android.process.acore and the other for Nexus Launcher when I have the Music Widget enabled.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hi folks,

Just to remind you all that VillainROM has its own bugtracker at www.villainrom.co.uk/bug, where you can report any issues with Vanillain.

I made a new category for it yesterday, so feel free to report away on it...

cheers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] princedwi:
Thank you ^^; I will be posting the bugs mentioned in my posts there from now on.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
Does anyone know if this rom is planned to be me updated or fixed?

Too unstable for me to use on a daily basis as is.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Whilst I cannot speak for certain, I guess nathan will look at fixing anything obvious with this ROM. But he's really the only person to answer this... It will depend on how many people use it etc. since most folk here tend to prefer stock sense (myself included)...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BobderDritte:
got some probs with this rom i never had before ... perhaps im just to stupid ..but its not the first time for me flashing a custom rom

i wiped everything..

flashing the new rom ... waiting .. everything works fine ..

but then ..no phonebook app, no gmail app .. ive got only ten apps .. and only a few android widgets ..

my phone freezes when i try to change the wallpaper..

i thought there are also the htc widgets ?!?!

do i have to flash sth else ? radio ph #?

somebody an idea ?

pls help ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ioluas:
working fine for me so far (2hrs since 1st boot). will report bugs if any. thanks nathan.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dipje:
Are you sure you wiped _before_ flashing the new ROM?

Secondly (didn't try this ROM myself yet so I'm guessing) it could be simply because you have to get used to the non-HTC look & feel of this ROM :).

Has already been reported, right? So a known issue I guess.

Then you thought wrong :). This is a non-HTC (non-Sense) ROM. So you have the default Android launcher / home screen, and HTC widgets don't work there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shields398:
will there be an update on this mate? after these minor bugs have gone it'll be an everyday rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] princedwi:
Nathan's blog has stated that he took a weekend break, and that he's made considerable improvements to Vanillain and his Villain rom addressing stability and incompleteness in Vanillain. Just a few more days. I sense great changes (considering he's got a clean cdma rom and a samsung android ui rom).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shields398:
thanks for the heads up :) tend to hate sense lately!
