Yes, but the drag area should be bigger and more sensitive (which should make it easier to unlock). At least I haven't had any problems unlocking on 6.2, I had to retry quite a few times on 6.1.

The OTA update worked perfectly here.

Question: SetCPU gives me a choice between 245960 and 352000 MHz, nothing in between. The first is too low (screen corrupt after wake from sleep), the second is too high (battery drain). Any suggestions how to tweak this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
If you know what you're doing, go to www.villainrom.co.uk/kendon/stuff, and read the readme file. The download the "no whinging" kernel, which gives all overclock settings
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sanderg:
Thanks Pulser, done that, now I may not whine anymore :D - however... I have the lowest and highest possible frequencies, but still there's nothing between 245960 and 352000, also not when choosing an advanced setting or redetecting them. I can try with custom frequencies after creating a setcpu.txt file, but that may only cause more trouble...

Copy the zip file to your sdcard!

Then boot into recovery menu and flash it!

Then SD partition

Then I have tried first the patch and then the ROM but I still have the same issue.

hi!

i have one problem: since a couple of days the speaker of my hero (running with 6.1) is too loud and hurts in my ear during a call. is there a trick to adjust the minimum and maximum volume? ..... and yes, i used the +/- buttons on the side of my hero.

i also used my bluetooth headset and that is working fine.

can someone help me with this issue?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] schlagg:
ok,

so i tried this rom all week-end and here is my conclusion (before flasing, i was on MrBang 2.0, a 1.5 rom) :

trully nice and stable rom

but, for me, it's not really fast

yes, i oc my hero to 691MHz (and its much much more fast than default frequency) but, i always have to wait a "little" time before application runs itself

and in some of them, it's really laggy, for exemple : bluetooth ad2p streaming

on my car radio
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] blr000:
Successfully running 6.2.1 - no problems as such, but a couple of little things...

Due to Exchange syncing, I have to have password activated which is fine but now keyboard doesnt automatically appear, you have to press the entry field to bring it up - like I said, no biggie but just another step involved in unlocking the phone.

Also, Gallery seems to have disappeared.

Seems very quick though:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 87Vortex87:
I really liked this ROM, but went on trying another one and wanted to get back to this one. But i ran into a problem. I wiped data and Dalvik cache (and left battery stats and rotations alone), but it froze in boot mode.

I restored with Nandroid backup and tried again only wiping data, but it kept on freezing in boot mode. Anyone an idea on what happend or what i should do?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Now I have created ext2 partition!

Is apps2sd enabled at version 6.2.1?

I don`t hav a backup of my originla sdcard,so I lost

all my files?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
yes it is enabled, and yes you lost all files, always make a backup before formatting!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
That`s bad,all files lost!

If I create an ext2 partition so apps2sd works automaticallly

and is ext3 partition better?

Sounds like a DNS issue. We are working to resolve it, but if you change your DNS server on router/phone/pc or whatever to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, it will work.

Some ISPs don't seem to read it correctly, but I am in contact with the domain host just now.

If you just want to see the site, you can try http://villainrom.grense.no/villainrom.co.uk for now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndrewWalker613:
can you do this as an update or is this a new wipe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
There's an update version OTA, which doesn't need a wipe, although needs Sense application data to be cleared via manage applications.

There's also a full release for people who like full releases.

You can get them all from here:

Yop, worked after changing the DNS server.. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah. That's actually a really good server. Google runs it, and I changed all my stuff to use it now, cos my ISP's is crap.

We are working on the issue though, and I think I identified it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dthomasen:
Just noticed some bugs.. (Don't know if it's just on my phone)..

When downloading an update from the updater (in this case a theme), it restarts into recovery, just as planned.

But after entering recovery, I get the following:

Finding update package...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:villainromupdater/updates/Villain6.2.theme.shen1.2-signed.zip
Installation aborted

I'm using Apps2sd, does it make any difference?

And the 2nd thing is that the custom HTC_IME don't show up. It's the original one.

But after I ran the command (Through ADB):

adb remount
adb shell
rm /system/app/HTC_IME.apk

The custom keyboard popped up.. Which means that it's installed but not activated to begin with? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
it's only my problem then? It happened with the 6.2 update, I tried to flash also 6.2 full and it's the same, I did not have this problem with 6.1 :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmm. I've not had that. If you go to www.villainrom.co.uk/kendon/stuff, and read the readme, you can try one of our other kernels.

Maybe you were using a different OC setting? If you know what you're doing, try the no-whining nobfs one for #39 maybe.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LimXD:
Even after changing DNS to 8.8.8.8 still the same problem!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gu_de_o:
I thought I read somewhere before that the new update should include more than only two languages (English and Spanish) for the keyboard language. But this update does, unfortunately, still have only these two languages.

Edit: Forget about it, I got the HTC_IME mod to run properly now.

Thanks this great ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dthomasen:
Remember the 8.8.4.4 too.. Both should be present in DNS adress 1 and 2.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] LimXD:
it finally worked.. i think the restart helped refresh the server! :)

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
Yes, I already had that kernel :D with standard kernel it was a bit sloppy, with that kernel it's fast but it hangs for 1 sec from time to time... :( still trying to understand why... autokiller set to optimal, setcpu set to 480-729 uptime 260-360 sleep, using this value since first benham oc kernel, never had a problem

(also 6.1 was good for me with standard kernel and bfs enabled i believe)

Oh I also tried the last benham kernel, it works but still it hangs, I really can't understand why.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tuomi:
729 seems quite high, most stable is at most 691 and in anon's case 710, so set it to 691 and see if it gets resolved.

If they've been stable as you claim, you could try turning "compcache off" via a terminal as connectbot or similar since i've had similar symtoms before when it was on, don't know if its been turned off by default in later versions 6.2 etc. as i upgraded from 6.0 initially.

su
compcache off
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
yes it's the same at 691, also at 528... it does not seem speed related. I believed that compcache was turned off by default with this kernel, now I'll try.

Edit:

I remembered well, it is disabled by default.

Edit2:

Turns out it was Setcpu doing something wrong on my terminal, with OC Widged I have now absolutely no lag... and all is really fast. So if someone has a similar problem, try this fix, who knows ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thespeed:
This Rom works great my hero works fast.

I have set the presets to Optimum in autokiller

and installed SetCPU and set the maximum to 614400

But when i used Sygic navigation with my phone behind the car glass.

My phone is getting warm (43 degrees)

Isn't this real bad for the phones live cyclus?.

And what is a safe battery temperature?.

I am affraid that i will blow my phone if i set it to 691 mhz.

Hello

An hour ago I flashed VillainROM6.2-Full-signed, and at first it seemed okey and pretty fast. But the more I tried configure it and all, the more sluggish and slow, and now its so slow I cant do anything with it. I have not installed any apps yet on it, since its too slow for that. And a few minutes ago I tried to changed home screen wallpaper, and it force closed and it got really slow... impossible to do anything with the phone. I had to remove battery now to be able to reboot it, but I guess it will go back to be slow again in a while. Oh yes, on each reboot the VillainRom Updater is not responding and a force closed appears.

I wiped data/factory and dalvik, and then I flashed it. Did I do it correctly? Or have I missed something.

JIT is possible in theory, by using another launcher like launcher pro, and changing the lockscreen. Then can be enabled in the usual way.

OK,so I only have to flash "Apps2SD+Dalvik-Cache script update"?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stevennl:
Hi Villain team! I love your roms! I have only one small problem.. When I used 6.1 I could clock the processor upto 8XX MHz which made my Hero superduper smoooooth. When updating to 6.2 the max speed was 5 or 6XX MHz. I searched the forum and came across a post which guided me to a new kernel which could be found on villainrom.co.uk/kendon/stuff/. I checked the readme file and decided to install ben39_nobfs_no-whining-signed.zip Kernel, which should give me the option to overclock upto 845 MHz. The new kernel installed fine and I got the option again in SetCPU to clock it beyond 6XX MHz. But when doing this my Hero is crashing..

Ok, long story short. in Villian 6.1 I had 8XX MHz, after the update to 6.2 I lost this option. Kernel update will crash my phone.

Do you guys have any tips / tricks for me to solve this?

Hello guys...

In the Info thread about the ROM on http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=680 is written this feature:

- LIVE WALLPAPERS WORK WITH LAUNCHER PRO (BETTER PERFORMANCE IF YOU INSTALL TO /system/app)

In my ROM there's no option to set Live Wallpaper. Could someone tell me how to get this working?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
For me,only 653 Mhz works without problems!

Battery is going well.

At 693 Mhz or 710 Mhz,phone freeze sometimes.

MFLOPS at 653Mhz: 4.426 ;)

P.S.Only confused why other users can enable mor Mhz,

without problems.

@dbsoundz

Install Launcher Pro from Market,or

choose "Homepage" (Startseite)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Some people can get higher speeds, but others can't. It's just to do with HTC's manufacturing of the processors. Some individual ones are able to do more than others. Mine for example can run at 19MHz in sleep without trouble, yet many people need to run in at 300MHz. It's just luck
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZeppeMan:
That's because every cpu is different. Maybe your cpu can reach 800Mhz easy if you would increase voltage, but then it would get hotter and that's not so good.. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:
its defo not faster than cronos rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
