I can't seem to connect to mobile network (for phone calls and so) after flashing radio!?

Is it normal that after flashing radio and booting it says some stuf before rebooting?

Edit: i seem to have connection now :) NP! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jamesking420:
How did you fix it? I am getting the same thing...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pauliusba:
Why doesn't it have Friend Stream? And why does it have OLD sense UI, from 1.5? Old widget chooser, some sense widgets are old, some are missing...

Come on, what's going on? I though it was about being stock and not modified by the taste of some cookers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
see LoL, I'm not crazy ;-)

cheers :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Guys. This is stock :) You are used to modified.

We are working on these things. Trouble is, this is what the final RUU will be like. The wallpaper is what makes you think it's old. This is essentially the final RUU. You're used to ports I think, which are nice.

Let us know what you like added, and we can look into it. not all is possible though. this is essentially what the RUU will be like.

HTC added loads of anti-dev stuff to these new RUUs, so we are having to remove it all. friendstream won't be there on your RUU. It should be fixed in 6.1 after homer fixes some of the protections :)

@all, 6.1 has been delayed till tomorrow, due to a few issues getting friendstream going.

What I see is a big difference (one might say it's a step backward) from VillainRom 5.5. That's my point of reference and I suspect it's the point of reference for many VillainRom 6 potential users. People do seem to stick with their favorite developers...

So for me, and likely the person above, those things that are missing are things that are in our phones currently running VillainRom 5.5.

In fact, I like the looks, features of VR 5.5 so much that it's almost not worth going to VR6 just to get a couple of bugs worked out in BT, headphones, and possibly with performance. I'm very happy with VR5.5.

With this being VR6, I think most of us sort of expected the same content that's in VR5.5 but with the new stability, performance and better working hardware of the new kernel and libraries.

Ok, well honestly I'm just speaking for myself. But it could be what that other person's reaction was based on also.

However if VR6 is better and stock then I'll still be going to 6.1 once it's proven to run.

ok, I'll be honest, I'll move to 6.1 as soon as I see it live LoL :-)

Youtube vs HTC Flash Player

Crossposting from VillainROM Forums: Is there a way to make the browser open YouTube videos in the YouTube app? It defaults to the HTC FlashPlayer (with inferior quality) and I can't find any setting for this. No defaults are set on Youtube.apk, HTCFlashPlayer.apk or FlashLitePlugin.apk in Settings->Applications.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pauliusba:
Oh.. So the official Hero 2.1 ROM will not have the new senseUI things as seen on the Legend features? Such as new widget chooser, FriendStream, better Facebook for SenseUI, etc.? That sounds like a marketing crap thing!

And what does "Stock Rosie" mean then?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] PulpzillA:
i thought that the official ROM will be more based on the Eris build?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] developing:
The HTC Legend and HTC Hero are different devices, so yes. If it really matters that much to you, get a custom ROM with Friend Stream and the new extra-shiny Sense.

I prefer the old Sense; the Legend's extra shine just looks too tacky.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
this is a serious thing - that and flash are what give android users online multimedia. anyone know the trick to configuring this?

[ROM]24/05/10 - TeamVillain Presents: VillainROM 6.0 (Sense, Fast, 2.1, Complete!)

It is the one that will come with the 2.1 ROM basically :)

We are going to look at adding some little extras to sense, but this isn't going to become another legend port, as that wasn't the aim of it. The aim was to make a ROM as close as possible to the ruu, and that has been achieved to the extent that even the bugs HTC introduced in the new release ROM are present (facebook), although a work around was found by one of our users.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BrZ!:
Everything works like it should now.. Just wiped everything again phone and sd card. Put the zip file on the sd and flashed it again. but you have to be patiance
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
Super Rom, a million thumbs up guys.

Would it be possible to get the lock screen from superhero? I love that one, feels more ergonomic.

the speed and sensitivity of this ROM is amazing, so is battery life. I lost 10% overnight while refreshing 2 email accounts and twitter every 15 minutes.

will we receive 6.1 OTA? I am driving whole day.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hope so. Check the forum when you stop, and see if it is mentioned, or just refresh the OTA app. I installed it fine OTA as a test, but it's not totally done yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
I even check the fora while driving :p how about the lockscreen, could you pack this in an update.zip (Maybe donators only hahaha)

BTW, my alarm wont go off, sleeping cpu speed is 245 mhz. anybody else experiencing this? I rather not put the frequency up.

Edit, crancking it up to 250 did the trick. I can live with that
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gu_de_o:
I've installed the HTC_IME_lo.apk so I can change language for spell correction while typing eg. an sms in my language.

The problem is that it doesn't work. Even as I've switched on the HTC_IME mod in settings\language & keyboard and changed the language from English nothing has happened. I still have the English spell correction.

Anyone who knows what I can do to get this to work?

I shouldn't have made any mistakes while installing it since it's so easily installed (installed it via a file manager).

Thanks for any advice!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BrZ!:
A few small things maybe someone can help!

- No multi language only English and Spanish

- A2sd i think it works but still have only 58mb left but alot of apps installed on my sd card. how do i increase the phone memory

- Is there a way to use the mail program from the Superhero rom? that one works way better then the stock and it opens the full mail with pictures etc.

- Bootcontrol from the superhero rom can i be installed on 6.0?

And something else.. i have downloaded a overclock widget but what is save to set it to?

Thnx in advance...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] prinzipal:
Apps2Sd didn't work for me, even if the Wiki-Script said it works. I flashed the apps2sd update.zip from the Cronos Thred - now it's working :D

Edit: I have still problems to install Programs from the market. The Phone alerts: not enough memory. Free Space on Phone 128MB and on SD 6,4GB. i can't understand that.

another bug: i set CPU Speed while sleep to 480, but it still freezes sometimes and has randomly the display error.

hope for help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jacio21:
I'm trying to apply update 6.0.1.

My Hero has rebooted but now it seems stucked: it continues showing "Copying files..." since 10 minutes.

Is it ok? Should I wait for a message like "Update completed"?

Anyone has done this update finding this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tuomi:
It's business as usual just press reboot on the menu that popped up..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dac0908:
As for purple/pink screen and sometimens unresponsive unlocking: OverclockWidget really seems to help!

After bit of experimenting my settings in advanced setting menu:

On screen min 480000, max 652800
Different freq screen off: checked
Off screen min and max 245760

Whole system is faster and responds better. Actually, never performed this good with older VillainROM-s but also my Hero wasn't OC'd before :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gascanieto:
I second this.

I've tried playing with setcpu settings, but it doesn't work. I've gone back to kimera oc for now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] henky92:
easy to fix ya guys, ip cpuwidgetjust select one freq higher than 26.....

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pauliusba:
I think that keeping everything close to RUU was important to the moment it was clear that the software was made worse for marketing reasons.

Because 2.1 sense shouldn't mean it's only for legend/desire. They made new sense and it belongs on other updateable phones too.

It's not even possible to select text in the browser properly...

Buggy big clock

Hey guys Rom seems very stable till yet. I found a time bug in Flip Clock for my location it shows the correct location but goes one hour ahead.

I found this is a common problem in spirint roms. i didnt find this error in villian 5.5 but in 6 :(

Voice search?

Hello everyone.

First of all, thanks for all this good Villainness. HTC has been waving that 2.1 carrot in front of me and then yanking it away every month - so I went ahead and got V5.1 and have been updating with your goodies ever since.

It's fast now, and everything seems to work (except for the stuff coming in 6.1). Everything except for voice to text. It's not picking up any levels in voice search and process com.google.android.voicesearch crashes every time I hit the mic button for input.

Anyone else getting this?

I wiped everything before flashing 6.0. I just want to make sure it's a random bug before reinstalling everything.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MojUk:
Ok guys....opinions needed...

I have the opportunity to upgrade from my Hero to a Desire and it only cost me £100, two questions.

Will Froyo ever work *properly* i.e. Adobe Flash work on the Hero? (Guessing no due to CPU/GPU?)

Is it worth it? Money wise/future proof wise etc...

Cheers :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] downbringer:
Truthfully, I went from my Hero to a Desire and I don't miss my Hero at all. We don't know if flash will work properly on the Hero, it depends on how htc decides to implement it into their sense os.

As for my hero, I still use it occasssionally, gave it my little brother, how knows feck all about the updating process so I check by every now and then to see if nathan has conjured up a new magical update.

If anyone can make the hero the phone it was supposed to be and keep implementing the newest builds of android into it before htc do, its going to be nathan.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BeelzeM:
I just flashed this ROM on my Hero together with the new radio and LauncherPro. Amazingly fast. Incredible job and I'm eagerly awaiting 6.1!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Please go to the end of the release thread at VillainROM. I made a fix for this a couple of days ago
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MojUk:
Ta dude....temptation eh lol
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BeelzeM:
This was actually the first time I flashed a custom ROM and radio. And I have problems with text messages: they arrive around half an hour later than they were sent. Anyone else having this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kyrillos:
hi guys...using the Rom for two days....only issue up to now is when talking on the phone, I can hear what I say like with echo...like in cave.... everything else is great...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genich1971:
there is a fix for that!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kimbledon:
I also have that problem, where is the fix?

Is there a way to get the all 7 screens to show up with ONE hand? I never use the desktop with 2 hands. That's why i don't really like pinch.

For the developers: really really awesome work!

comments:

- I would also like the feature that you could change media volume when the screen is off. I used to change volume of music without taking the phone out of my pocket, it is so much easier.

- When you press the camera button in Gallery app, it does not open the default camera for some reason, why is that? (resolution is much smaller and no video option)

- Also, is it possible to get rid of the sound when you change ringer volume?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genich1971:
look at the first thread. go to the villain site first thread, and you will find it under the fixes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chukkie:
Sorry if this has been mentioned before; but after I have flashed this rom it gets stuck at the boot screen, the only time this ever happened before was when I flashed Kimera 1.6 as my cpu can't really go above 672Mhz.

I did a full wipe of EVERYTHING before flashing

I have flashed multiple times and still can't get past the boot screen animation. Is this just my problem or has it happened to anyone else?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] m4co:
Is there any benefits in using VillainROM with ext3 or ext4?

Performance? is it worth it to change like the [Guide] Setup Apps2SD ?

Thank you for your hard work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pigfacesoup:
The Voice Search fix worked perfectly (I applied it using the OTA updater). You guys are outstanding. You made software on your own time, made it available for free, and it's probably better than the Eclair update HTC is going to release in 2036.

Thanks again. I hope you get mouth sex for all your hard work.

any eta on vr 6.1?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Some of the problems we are trying to fix (like adding FriendStream and fixing Twitter/Facebook) are harder than anticipated. I will keep you up to date, but I am currently running 6.1 without these fixes, and it seems fine.

I hope that today (27/5) we can get some kind of release later on.

HomerSP still has stuff to do though
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ermacwins:

Someone got any idea?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jazzyp:
Try dragging the lockscreen down from the time bar thing!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
They can, and it is something we will consider if need be. I want to get out 6.1 as much as you want to use it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kimbledon:
I'll answer to myself: Yes, you can just press home button on the default screen to do the Leap(?). But if you are not on the center screen, it will first go to the center. Could this behaviour be changed so that everytime you press Home on the desktop, it shows all the screens at once.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BrZ!:
Sorry i didn't write down the problem to well.. When i push the hang-up button normaly the lock screen appears but now it stays black. no lock screen at all
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] heroandroid:
Thanks for the great rom

I've been searching for a while now, looking for the perfect rom. I have tried a few other roms, but their bugs were unbearable for me. This rom is by far the best.

PRO's:

-Everything that is included in the rom is working.

-Extremely fast (I'm not over clocking and it's still faster than the rest and stock rom)

-The display is a lot clearer in the sun

CON's

-Battery drain is slightly higher than stock rom (even though i do underclock when screen is off)

-The auto brightness is to bright indoors (this increases battery drain) {Is there any way for me to change the brightness range myself myself to make it go darker indoors?}

-The USB teathering - I miss it (I know it's coming later)

-Friend stream (I know also coming later)

-The phone rings for about 2 secs before the screen comes up that allows you to answer the call

-My trackball flashes (doesn't stop after 1min like on stock rom) instead of the notification LED for mist calls and smses. The notification LED does flash when there is a email waiting.

Can't wait for 6.1

Again thanks for the great rom!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gugi_sat:
I have the same problem, please guru's advise how to work around this problem

Thanx for wonderful ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sniperde:
do u use overclockwidget to under/overclock ur device?

If this is the case, turn it off or change the settings.

I experienced this problem underclocking my device when screen is off.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
This is default sense behaviour, and something that people were asking for in some other ROM that didn't do it IIRC (or was it another launcher?)

I don't think it's something we can change easily, and I think a lot of people like it as is. If you know how to fix it, let us know and we can make it an optional patch
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] N@workerZ:
I'm waiting for 6.1, too (have the 5.2 installed...). I really like the VillainROM! Tried a lot, but this is the best!

One question: The old ROMs (4.x) had German language support. Will the VillainROM 6 series have this, too? Please let me know. (Changing the local with morelocale in 5.2 didn't work for me).

THX for the great job!

N@workerZ
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Regarding the little green LED, it seems that this is the way the ROM is intended to work. I replaced the light driver with an old version from another ROM, and it does not change the behaviour. So I am left to think that this is 'by design' for the hero.

I think the trackball is meant to flash though as opposed to the green LED. IIRC, the green one was for emails and the white trackball was for SMS and calls.

I guess this is HTC just making it the same as before.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
This 6.0 ROM does work with MoreLocale2 (free on market). I tested it, and 6.1 has a full choice of all languages.

I currently am using my phone in fully localised German (Germany) localisation. I don't see anything un-translated, from the "Laedt" instead of loading, to "Telefon" instead of phone.

So 6.0 has localisation with MoreLocale (tested), and 6.1 has it available without the app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] N@workerZ:
That's perfect! I can't wait to flash the new 6.1 :) THX again for your hard work!

Greetz

N@workerZ
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ba-rtje:
MoreLocale does work with 6.0 indeed, but I have to add that not everything is translated. For example when someone calls, it still says 'answer' and the settings menu is still half-english.

This doesn't bother me at all and I absolutely LOVE this rom, but I was wondering if the 6.1 version is fully translated?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] screwhead89:
Tried the ROM yesterday and uninstalled this morning.

Unfortunately (for me at least) the ROM was extremely laggy and some features were not working / working correctly. First of, the 3G internet worked once and when I tried to reconnect this morning wouldn't connect (???). Second, when I load up the tray containing all the programs only the four show up? Only after opening some applications on the home screen do they load correctly.

Apart from that the ROM was awfully slow. Still I thank you for trying to port something that apparently we'll have to wait for months more....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
That sounds very strange. Are you sure you did all the wipes needed? This is by far the fastest ROM I've used. Also check your OC settings in case you're underclocked without realising it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Everything in settings looks to be translated for me. Could you tell me what language you use, and give a particular example of something to check?

For the incoming call, it still has "Decline" etc. in English, but the settings menu looks ok.

If you give me a specific thing to check though, I can have a look for you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] moimoimoi963:
Could you tell me if this rom has (or plans to have in the future) the new copy/paste from the legend, with translation, wikipedia, etc... ? This is a very great feature that is too often forgotten i think :(

Also it seems you plan to add Friendstream and usb tethering, is it right? (sorry i can't read 36pages^^) Your ROM is reputed to be the best, but when these 3 features will be there, it will be the ultimate ROM :D

And i forgot one thing: colored icons like on the legend ^^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ba-rtje:
Thanks for your quick response. Again, it doesn't bother me and I don't want to complain, I was just wondering if this was a MoreLocale problem and if it would be solved in 6.1. In the settings menu there are two titles not translated:

The one with the phone image next to it still says 'Call'.

And one with the hard drive image next to it still says SD card & phone storage

When you click on those titles some options are translated en some are not. There are other thing not translated as well, but I can't remember them right now. The language I'm using is Dutch.

Thank you very much!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah. Those are wrong in 6.1 too :( It's the HTC ROM that's the issue. Maybe after release I can look at editing the xmls. I am seeing "Call" instead of "Anrufen", etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
USB Tethering is already working on 6.1, and I have tested it. As for FriendStream, HomerSP is working on it, but it's hard to get working. Homer tends to succeed though ;)

As for the legend copy and paste, I like that too :) That was only in the browser, wasn't it? (I'll look at maybe porting the app)
