Having problems with the market? it starts loading T&C's of market then FC back to home screen?this is from a fresh wipe/install too :(

this is usually fixed by signing into gtalk

Multilang support coming this weekend. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BigD18t:
just flashed 1.0.1 but it wont get past the htc logo, it freezes, ive done a full wipe.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mobby0411:
did you try flashing over the top of the original version no wipe required ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zhezhan:
Can someone tell me, what is the main difference between this slide port and the Version 5.4. Actually i like to try other Roms - but i can't find any benefits from this slide-port-rom to VillainROM 5.4
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bojzi:
Already asked it at Villain forums but can't hurt to try here also... :)

Anyone else having problems getting GPS lock?

I've turned mobile data on (as that got me a GPS lock much faster when using MCR) and left it for about half an hour on my window and still no GPS lock (tried Navigon and Google Maps).

Just to say that this is the first 2.1 ROM that I'm considering on using on a day-to-day basis as it's fast and seems fully working. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BigD18t:
No as i had to og back to 5.4 for a bit as i couldnt get 3g to work, and for some reason i had deleated v1 :rolleyes:.

just downloaded it again, and im booting now, fingers crossed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BigD18t:
Wont boot :( anyone still have the first version ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] L0cke:
I've seen on the official ROM there is a "Genius" button (on the phone and in the App Drawer), is this not compatible or is not included for any reason?

whats this rom? 2.1? sense?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BigD18t:
awesome, il download this tonite, and flash then flas the new version.

Cheers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
the MyTouch Slide has a bespoke version of HTC's sense UI created for T-Mobile USA. It is very similar to the Sense you know, all the same widgets as the Legend Releases, but with different graphics. It runs on Android 2.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Turn GPS on in the menus, reboot the phone... try again.

First lock may take 5 mins, but will be instant thereafter.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] L0cke:
It's 2.1 with the Expresso UI. It's very fast and great looking! In my opinion the best 2.1 going. It has some new features and a selection of themes :)

If you like 2.1 ROMs definitely check this out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I actually agree. It's my favourite 2.1 rom going...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bojzi:
Already tried that several times. :(

The problem is that it seems as if the GPS is working - it pinpoints my location to a 70m radius (at least that's what Google Maps says and it shows my location right) but the GPS never gets a lock (stops flashing indicators and shows full signal) so GPS software like Navigon can't start routing because they are still waiting for a lock.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
That lock to within 70m is network location, not GPS I'm afraid. Dowload GPS Test, it will tell you if you are gettign a signal, but not enough satelites (i.e. less than 4) and therefore your in a bad area, or if it is not working at all
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nomnompie:
Has anybody been able to get the bubble removal on themes hotfix to work??? I tried it like 3 times and it will not work..:confused:

Other than that this is my favorite rom so far... :D

Also, I'm having problems adding contact pictures.. the first time, it goes all the way through selecting and cropping a picture, but when you try to save it, the contact page comes up blank, and freezes. You can hit Home, do the whole process again, and sometimes it works, sometimes the same thing happens..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bojzi:
Thanks for this suggestion!

I fired up GPS Test and it reported that the GPS sensor "sees" 8 satellites but doesn't have a lock and a few seconds after that - BAM - a lock that works now in Navigon. Thanks once again. ^^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] agoNITE:
Works here, but it only applies to the Villain theme..not to the stock themes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Alessiogian:
Hi,

I saw the picture and read the comment posted and I would like to try this ROM but....can anybody post (or even post some links to guides) an how to install this ROM?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards

EDIT: I know i'm OT but can you explain me how can I sync my hero with OSX?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BobderDritte:
solved some problems for me ... just reading all posts

for anybody else with the same problem

google sync doesnt work ? just wait ;-)

no 3g ? go to settings i had to switch from only gsm to gsm and ** sorry forgot the name** lol

no i flash the hotfixes and test the network connection .....

one thing .. all the widgets like calender, friendstream wasnt there, after 10 minutes, i got my contacts and some more widgets .. weired ...

but´i didnt found the news widget instead of the news app , also only the ugly android standard analog clock ( ok i got beautiful widget , so .. )

after flashing all hotfixes i get a force close in the setup wizzard ..mhhm ... try to reetboot and i will see what happens .. after the reboot everything works like a charme ;-) sync, themes, widgets everything almost perfect .. only market is slow, but i noticed this phenomen with every 2.1 rom

btw: this room ist awesome, seems to be some bugs BUT my hero feels like a whole new smartphone .. thanks a lot !!!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Today,tried again.

I had installed "Villain 5.22 ROM" first I did wipe data and dalvik,then I

flashed the ROM and the 3 hotfixes!

Now I have all wallpapers and themes works without bugs!

Only the first time I tried to change "Apperance" at "myModes" I got

an FC.Tried several times and then it works without errors!

Nice to hear,because the ROM is cool,I like it :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Klufenza:
I have a little problem with this ROM. I can't actually load it... I was trying every step i know to resolve this problem(wipe, SD format) but it still stop on HTC logo. I have new radio and RA hero recovery so it's even more weird to me :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mojtaba.alhoseine:
I had that issue, i wiped system, dalvik cache and ext. and it started working... it was really getting on my nreves at the time though.

but finally it has to be the best 2.1 rom ive tried and the bug fixes were very frequent with 5.4 so im guessing it will be the same here
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] blueflash:
whats the bubble issue?

My only issue so far is Browser Crashing, guess that the javascript issue?

1 request and we have option for Vanilla lock screen at later date

are there any themes available yet?

looking forward to your weekend work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Klufenza:
Strange, I was doing the same thing with no results, now I've done it once again and it works! Thanks, I owe you one ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BigD18t:
whats the latest radio ? as i cant load v1.0.1 either, ive wiped a few times now to.

Theme Bug

Is this "VillainROMSlideHotfix3Theme-signed" file the answer? Linky? :D

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Guanarteme:
Hi there.

Looking good, just one question to start with: I just went straight to software information and on build number it's written: SlideVillain1.0

Shouldn't be 1.0.1?

Thanks, and keep up the good work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
Theme editing

Here's a thought would it be easy enough to mix up the themes, as they are just apk or zip files, iv been having a go but cant seem to resign them, becasue i like the light show them, and the surf theme's blue highlight's but hate the pink high lights in lightshow so i swapped them over,

also where is the folder for the rest of the themes so i can put my new one in so i can select it ? so i can try it all out

Can someone with more know how have a look at the file iv attached to see if its ok etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cylons:
Works only if you choose Villain Theme
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cylons:
Base on my test, those theme is gone if you did a wipe after the rom has been flash. You'll need to wipe prior to flashing the rom. Yeap, basically this means starting all over again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] t24ever:
Wow !! :)

At first i didn´t care to test this rom out but ...

Wow !! i just love it :)

great work guys !

Re: [ROM]29/04/10 SlideVillain 1.0.1 BETA (MyTouch Slide Port)

it s a very good news that you will add multi language support.

very stable and the fastest 2.1 Rom I tried.

will the OTA feature be implement?

Re: [ROM]29/04/10 SlideVillain 1.0.1 BETA (MyTouch Slide Port)

another thing:

I have seen that

some guys on xda are working on an overclocked kernel which push the speed of the CPU up to 700mhz, apparently without any battery life issues, is this a thing that we could seen on your roms (why not an optional hotfix)?

I mean a fix that you could adapt and test for your Rom, because I don't have knowledges to test the kernel myself, and I don't want to brick my phone.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] solsviken:
Im currently, as already mentioned before on mytouch slide.

Its byfar the quickest of the Villain produced roms, but, i still have problem syncing more then 200 facebook contacts.

I think its something strange with the facebook sync on this rom, on all the other roms the facebook sync has been done in like 20 min after first boot or something. Its probably shorter but i didnt really time it.

With this rom i get to 100 facebook contacts in like 4 hours, then over the next one day its suddenly 200 contacts. Havent managed to sync more than 200.

Have tried to delete facebook account and resyncing, cleared cache in applications etc. Noththing seems to work.

Others that reply to me say it works fine with them, so im not sure what seems to be the problem. ( tried syncing over 3G and Wifi) .

Maybe reflash the entire ROM ?

Btw is there coming a update this weekend? Think i read it somewhere, but cant find it :)

Ignorant query

Sorry for being so basic. What is the difference between the usual Villain ROM 5.4 and this slide one?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] anarchyuk:
The vallain 5.4 build is a leak from the sprint Hero for the GSM Hero, the Mytouch rom is the 2.1 build ported from the Mytouch slide phone...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] blueflash:
not sure if coicidence but since changing to GSM only the browsers hasn't crashed
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kamirza:
got it

Thank you very much.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arturrro:
how to start living wallpapers on this ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nomnompie:
Found a couple of glitches... You get a settings FC every time you uninstall an app from the app manager.

Also, weird screen glitches when in gallery, and some games when rotating phone portrait to landscape.

Also, I'm not sure what is causing this, but it seems to generate corrupt thumbnails for pictures sometimes. Mainly ones taken with the camera. Unless it's my SD card?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hinz:
nprussel hasn't changed the build tag in the ROM, so it still reads 1.00, but it is 1.0.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Alessiogian:
Hi guys,

I installed the ROM but when I reboot the hero stops on the HTC logo.

How can I fix it?

Thanks in advance

Best regards

EDIT: now it starts....i've just reboot it another time ;)

EDIT2: which theme i have to choose to avoid freeze on the phone?

EDIT3: how can i install the hotfix?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AdnanKananda:
Thanks for this ROM. I've tested it for about half a week now, and I have to say it's the best Android 2.1 ROM for the Hero I've tested so far.

I would really like to stay with this ROM, because it is the most fluent, and graphically it's very fresh. But it has some bugs, and I really hope they could be fixed:

- If SMS text messages are longer than 160 characters, only the first 160 characters are sent (same bug as in VillainROM 5.3). Only one person has told me about this so far, so I'm not sure if it applies to everyone I've sent longer text messages to, but that would seem logical.

- I had some problems with my 3g connection. The first days I used the ROM, the 3g connection operated correctly. Since yesterday, it is not receiving 3g connection anymore (even though it is configured properly).

- Also, for one day, the orientation did not switch automatically in certain applications. It's pretty weird, because today it works again.

- Titanium Backup doesn't work. When trying to do the 'Batch' command, it gives this error: 'Sorry, system requirements were not met. Please check error messages on startup'.

If you have any questions, just send me a PM :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] krallebob:
just testet now a couple of minutes but it seems to me that it is a nice ROM. Have som issues with Mobile network only. But its really fast
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiley87:
Long messages do not work.

Also, when I change myMode to a different theme, it freezes up the phone. Once I reboot it has changed, but it always freezes no matter what theme I choose.

Great ROM by the way, I'll be using this one from now on.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Walto:
Theme part was bothering me too, but when i aplied all hotfixes swapping themes works as it should.

This is indeed best 2.x sense rom i have tried. only bugs after hot fixes aplied were 2 random reboots... i really can't say what caused those. first happend when i was refreshing weather widget and second happend when i opened menu screen.

otherwise.. only thing i can say you really did it again.. making awesom rom and freshnes of hero was restored :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mobby0411:
i know theres been fixes for this rom but no other updates and nprussel hasnt been on twitter for like 2 days ? i know he mention multi language this weekend but personally i dont care for other languages ? wheres the updates for this rom ? :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zwart:
I am also eager to try the update for this ROM, but if you read his last twit 22 hours ago he's probably having a major hangover after, if you consider his achievements, well deserved party-time.

Be patient! I'm also trying to be ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Alessiogian:
Finally it works and it works great :D

I installed swype and after i installed the fix but when i choose it there is a popup message tell me it can not match the scren size of the device. Screen size 320x480

i have a HERO....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiley87:
completely missed the hotfixes, thanks man.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] georgie:
Great rom, i was only wondering if it's possible to switch back to the bubble icons when i applied the bubbleremoval fix.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] blueflash:
turn sense off as default, by going to manage application scroll down to HTC Sense, and click clear defaults, now when you click home you can select launcher and play with live wallpapers, and they work good
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] blueflash:
mobby if you want regular updates goto to htc.com or sit back and enjoy others work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mobby0411:
thats what im doing isnt it ? guess im a little impatient and im guessing im not alone on this :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] solsviken:
im deffinatly giving this rom another try when 1.1 is out.

What i would like is perfect working theme change.

Would like to have the possibility to remove the frame around the buttons in the menu.

I would also like the facebook sync to work perfectly like in all the other roms.

I got the sync to 200 contacts, and it stopped there. It took many hours to sync those 200 as well. In all the other roms its done in like 5 minutes to sync em all.

Thanks for the time you guys put in to developing the roms :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BigD18t:
cant wait for 1.1, but in the meantime, has anyone tried video recording ? i did some this morning of my little girl, but it only plays back sound :(.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mobby0411:
hey man just a bit of info for ya :)

theme change has been fixed with a hotfix some time ago and also an optional fix for removing the square/bubble around app icons see links below my friend :)

themes hotfix

NOTE: A dalvik-cache and data wipe IS necessary or it will still crash

http://www.villainrom.co.uk/download/file.php?id=95&sid=d117539a15ea17a690ddb7739a0678ea

remove bubble/squarers around app icons

http://www.villainrom.co.uk/download/file.php?id=107&sid=d117539a15ea17a690ddb7739a0678ea

as for facebook if you install facebook for android and initially sync it through that its faster and should sort the problem out sort of a temp fix but i can confirm it works.

enjoy :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] solsviken:
ooo, thanks for the heads up, dident know about those hotfixes.

Think ill wait for the 1.1 release since its right around the corner.

When i was on VannilaRom and installed the 5.2 version, 5.3 came just hours after install, then, the day after 5.4 came :) This time ill just wait for the next one.

Anyways, thanks for the heads up on the hotfixes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oppaunke:
i just have one little problem....

it seems that hsdpa is not supported ?!

i just get the "3g" icon, while my htc diamond2 gets an "H" in the same network.

in setup, i just can choose "auto" or "gsm" or "wcdma" . do i miss something??

Is there any fix, or a fix coming, that allows you to send larger messages in one go? I'm always having to split the message into three parts!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
H is only 3.5g maybe the new mytouch is like the old,that only shows 3g but is really connected to HSDPA.

GREAT WORK AGAIN!

if I didn't just have to spend loads of monies sorting my car I would donate purely because you must be unemployed Nathan!

Eagerly awaiting 1.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] basbroens:
Hi Nathan,

I really like this rom.

Is there a change that Live wallpapers will work with sense on this rom too?

I know this feature isn't very usefull, but it just looks so cool :D.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CitizenLee:
Apologies if this has been asked before but does this ROM have the split SMS issue?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
This is indeed correct. 3G appears even when using HSDPA. Test it using speedtester if you want proof ;)

Another one for me to test later then :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Sorry. Nathan's been quite busy with some ROM work, and I've been fixing the OTA updater. Forgot about this thread for a bit :(

It seems that the current release still isn't any good with long SMS :( There is obviously a new release (SlideVillain1.1.0 RC) which I am currently trying out. It should be out later today. I will let you know if it is fixed or not in it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiley87:
Thanks. I don't like putting negative comments in the thread, because it seems as though I'm whining. It's annoying yes, but it isn't as annoying as having stock 1.5 instead of this ROM.

The graphics and speed in this ROM is incredible, so thankyou to everyone who's putting their own free time into it.

Also, regarding Facebook syncing. It didn't seem to work once I started up the phone. However, without doing anything, after around 20 hours or so every contact I have has synced.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CitizenLee:
No probs, I don't mind waiting as long SMS is a big deal breaker for me as I do tend to send long messages.
