Hello,

I'm also getting the same issue with SMS messages on the stock message application. It tells me that there's a general error when sending SMS messages and it's pretty frequent.

I upgraded OTA from 6.1 to 6.2

Did anyone know how to solve this?

Should i just do a full wipe and flash the 6.2 full version?

Other than that, greatest ROM ever! New widgets, speed, no issues with GPS or camera...

[LAG IN MARKET] Super fast and super Stable ROM

Sorry if I am posting something which is already posted. Didnt have patience to go through 52 pages.

I founf this ROM super fast and super stable. The only issue I found regarding this ROM is that of Market. Market takes lil time to open. There is lag. There is even greater lag when u click 'download', It takes a while for download to start.

Rest is flawless at least for me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dustd:
Mine does the same thing. Market is lank slow
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bubu:
Try to shut down the phone many times..

mine was laggy but some restart and installing setCPU (not using, just installed!) works great!

Greek language support

Hi. I’m using VillainROM 6.2.

I have a problem with contacts. Because all the names are in Greek, I cannot not find any contact when searching (using search people app, messages, dialer).

The language is set to English (Greece) and the keyboard in Greek….

Any ideas?

Thanks….

[FORCE CLOSES]Got first FCs

Creating a separate reply just to let devs know about the problem.

I changed the scene and My phone instantly got hanged. Upon waiting for some time, I got to FCs, ome for TaskKiller app and another for OC widget, which were present in previous scene.

I had to remove the battery n restart

Is there any way to make this rom connect to an ad-hoc network ????
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1immortal:
pleeeeaaaasssseeeee make the app2sd work :(

i got left with some 20 mb empty on the internal memory .

and one more thing , i can't make my sim contacts go away in the dialer , i can do in the the people app , but when i open the dialer , i can see all of them .

thanks .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spence91:
flashed yesterday, I found it to be slow to the point of not being able to use it until i installed autokiller and an overclock application.

I've not really looked into the battery life so far but i hope it's good.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bubu:
App2sd works fine...

just format your sd, with AmonRA create a partion ext2 or ext3 NOT ext4..

if you use ext4 won't work!!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dr9722:
I flashed this ROM yesterday and also got Apps2SD working no problem. However I do have one issue...

Since I switched the phone on this morning I seem to have multiple icons on the menu option. I have 3 Settings icons, 2 Mail icons and 4 Messages icons! Any idea why this might be and how to get rid of them?

Tried battery pull a number of times but made no difference. Dont fancy reflashing, just got everything the way I like it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dr9722:
Yes just download Wireless Tether from the Market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lodder:
Thx for this great ROM, but I have few questions.

How can I set the mms settings for Mobistar (Belgium)?

The call volume is not the loudness as on the android 1.5 I had can I change that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jbwan:
I know it's a widely reported issue with Android devices but since I flashed v6.2 my SD card is constantly being corrupted. It happened 6 times yesterday and I had to go back to v6 as I had no problems with this and since flashing back I've had zero problems again.

I really like v6, great work guys. However, I though it interesting that the SD corruption was so regular with v6.2 and not at all with v6. The only other time my SD card became corrupted was when I was using a Modaco ROM (can't remember what version) and all other ROMs have worked fine without any corruption problems.

Do you think there is something in some ROMs that makes some SD cards vulnerable to corruption?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pigdog237:
Upgraded from 5.5 to 6.2 last night and it's fixed my problem above! Thanks to the devs!

I had a few problems with various things force closing last night, but all seems steady today.

I'm currently using Cyanogen rather than Amon_Ra - is it worth me changing now, for the Dalvik Cache stuff etc?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] veef13:
ditto!

otherwise, no errors, great rom!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dave_uk:
For those thinking Apps2SD isn't working, providing you've partitioned your SD card correctly, it's much more likely that it IS working and that it's just your Dalvik Cache that needs moving to SD if you want to free up some space.

Try flashing this file from recovery and you should find you have much more free space.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tatwamasi:
Just tried Villain 6.2, SenseHero and CronosDroid. Gotta say this is significantly slower than the other two...

EDIT: JUST Force Closed the Updater... everything seems quicker... :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Yes dave that is correct, you can download Kendons apps2sd check script from here http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=376

That will prove to you that apps2sd is working. What won't be automatic is the moving of davilk cache therefore apps with still take up some (albeit seriously reduced) space on your phone as well as the sd card.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
6.2 is not a rom you can just try to run for an hour or so, it needs time to settle and needs setting up properly, once its done you will see how fast it really is, and it is fast.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melodaf:
Thank you so much Dave ! I was looking for this sucker a long time ago. =D

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skymera:
Is there a way I can test this in Android emulator first?

I've got a pretty sweet setup as-is and don't want to ruin it to test this ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] moimoimoi963:
Bravo for this rom. It took me 4 or 5 reboots before it became really usable, but now it's perfect, and the most important, complete.

But, because there's always a "but" ^^, 2 things that could (and should lol) be better:

- when in the browser, if I press the search button, the keyboard that appears doesn't contain any spacebar, but a .com and a / keys. I know spacebar is on the second screen of the keyboard, but it's not very user-friendly to be obliged to switch. And if i really need these 2 keys, i can write it directly in the adress bar ;)

- you added the new copy/paste from the legend rom, which is really a great improvement. But know, you have to also add the wikipedia, translation, etc... stuffs too! Don't let this case empty ^^

So i don't know if you were planning on adding these features (I hope so^^), but i think it would make your rom even more complete ;)

Keep up the good work ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xtkme:
Just make sure you're doing a nandroid backup before flashing. Then you can revert back anytime :)

About the emulator, we may have to ask HTC to provide one ;)

It works great..

But does anyone got problems with the Alarm?

It's really good for me (i'm really sleapy in the morning and stay to long in bed) but annoying if i need to shut my phone for stopping the alarm.

I can't see a stop button or something and its just repeating the ringing and ringing

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
there's a problem that's just being discussed on the villainrom site's bug thread where it seems the camera is stuck at 100 iso (or lower maybe, who knows). no matter how you set the iso speed, it captures motion blur like crazy.

I can't take pics of my kids or of any slightly moving target at all really - even still targets I have to luck out to get them just perfectly clear because of subtle camera motion.

This makes the camera almost completely unusable.

So that's the only notable problem with it that I'm aware of. Been using it for days now and it's excellent!!

by the way, the default OC clock is set to 691 mHz. in fact the kernel in 6.2.1 can't go above that. However there's another version of the kernel available which is identical other than supporting speeds up to 800+ mHz (which is suicide of course, but I run mine at 730mHz perfectly so that's my upper limit).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] freddie001:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tatwamasi:
Sorry for being a bit... dim perhaps, but which things need setting up? I don't get it... :confused:

I'm up for sticking with it for a bit though. :)

Anyone know why Gallery is so slow?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oeljaml:
small bug

There is a small bug in this Rom that the system programs like clock,people,massages,etc.., sometimes its icons have been duplicated, but when I reboot the phone sometimes this bug disappear

Hello all,

I have been using Villainrom for quite a while now, and it is awesome work.

I have experienced some sloooooooooooowing ;) with 6.2. And I mean slow, like 2 minutes to open a black screen when I press the gmail icon.

I decided to go a step up with autokiller and set it to optimum (I was on moderate before). My Hero seems young again.

Thank again for your great work villainteam and keep up with it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alock:
The problem I have is the fact that I cannot search on the phone screen (screen with the dial pad) using the number pad. Nothing shows up when I type the name of the contact. It was working fine in 6.0 and 6.1 but not anymore in 6.2. :(

Not to mention the linking of the google contacts and phone contacts resulting is a mess of the contacts. I have contacts with multiple duplicate entries. There has to be some way that I can tell the phonebook to not link any profile since I have to go individually and un-link the profiles.

Besides the two problems I've had, the ROM is excellent. 6.0, 6.1 and now 6.2 all have worked smooth for me without the need of OC. Bravo Team Villain.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
This is great rom. I was just wondering is it because of SetCPU that it takes a long time to unlock the phone? Should i put a bigger value to Standby min (Mhz), it's currently at 122Mhz. I'd also like to know what other users use as SetCPU values. Mine is 691/352 Mhz and on standby 480/122.

I also have some problems with battery. It only lasts for about 20 hours. Althought i've used my phone a lot after installing this Rom :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
"LauncherPro is a Launcher replacement app for Android 2.x+ devices that adds some features and functionality that the default launcher is lacking. "

It's very fast but atleast I haven't got HTC Widgets to work with it so i keep using Sense.

You can find it form Market, just search for "LauncherPro"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] berliner_doch:
Themes?

Really good ROM, thank you! :)

But I don't get how the OTA Updater works with themes. It says that theme server is not configured. And I didn't find any info about it.

What server do you advise?

Can someone explain how it works? And where can I find the themes that work on VillainROM 6.2?

In Theme and Apps there isn't a lot of themes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
yes I have noticed this, it usually occurs when you try to access your app launcher before they have all loaded in.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rrhg:
hi, you need to go setting, theme update setting, manage theme server and doing update.

Following on from this, I have reported your post, but only because of the Warez.

On another note I appreciate what you have done, but We don't really want loads of people repackaging our roms just to include new apps as 1) its easy for anyone to do and 2) we have a kitchen for some customisation.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kicker1:
Thanks lennyUK and harsha Heading over to villain site :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spence91:
That may be the case, but there's no real documentation on how to go about doing that. Judging by previous posts you have to do some overclocking and install autokiller.. is this the case? And if it is perhaps add this info to the first post to avoid confusion?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] avseq:
slow

i installd this one yest..by now i had to take battery out at least 20 times ...it freezs every time i wanna do sth..dialer doesnt works..****in sucks..tried everything but doesnt works..have set cpu max 691 min 352 it wont let me make any calls on time, takes ages to do anything..any suggestions?:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jUsT2eXy:
Even without 'SETCPU' for overclocking and 'AUTOKILLER' for memory optimisation, the ROM is very fast . Using a simple task killer like 'ADVANCED TASK KILLER' will do too.

SETCPU = 691MHZ max... 122MHZ Sleep (any lower @ sleep = purple screen @ boot)

AUTOKILLER = Set to aggressive
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spence91:
All the same it's not mentioned anywhere that you need to do this to get the ROM up to speed.

Looking at some posts in this thread i'm pretty sure i'm not the only one who thinks that this release is pretty slow before doing 'optimisations'.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chr1stus:
I have speed problems, too. Even with autokiller and setcpu apps starts lazy and fcs. I have flashed two times with all updates. I am back to 5.x.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CyranoB:
Same thing here. Horrible slow down (blocked for minutes), nothing on logcat. Downgraded back to 5.5 eventually.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Did you clear out your sd card as well as wipe everything?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spence91:
What would need to be cleared from the SD that would affect the speed of the ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
anything that you don't need.

In other words

Save your nandroid folder (if you have backups), pictures, videos, music

And other backup apps folders like titanium or mybackup pro

Then format your card.

Anything that should be there will be recreated when needed next.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Abominator:
Very nice joke....16GB card....BackUp Now? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I backup my 16GB SD card daily :) If you use incremental backups with something like TrueImage, it only saves the changes between backups.

So I know the most I don't have backed up is 1 days' stuff.

For anyone with performance issues, run the command "compcache off" from the terminal on the phone, and install autokiller as directed above.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spence91:
Not especially helpful. What specifically needs to be deleted (and then recreated) that would give a performance boost? Deleting everything seems a bit like overkill.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Abominator:
true image....khe...:)

compcache off in terminal....typing...rebooting....booting....booting....without effect...

Autokiller - didn't like that programm....may be i'm silly :D

ok, thnks for answer and true image :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dainese01:
try rebooting phone and wiping davlik cache again.

i did it and still ran into problems, but a few resets and it sort of coaxed it to start working... still loading....

reboot with call - menu and power
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Fair 'nuff about autokiller, but I'd suggest you at least try it :) I used to not like it, but now I am a convert. I used to think it was a bad idea, but the app has got better, and it is brilliant how it keeps my phone on 6.2 running smoothly :)

I've been running 6.2 now for 24 hours without a reboot (a new record for me :D) and no slow-downs despite a lot of internet usage, and fair bit of texting and voice calls
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Shihan:
i was quite impressed with 6.2 when i first installed it, did a complete wipe, reformatted the card, etc.

but, i've having problems with the lockscreen, whenever it comes up i drag down on it and it can be anywhere between 10 seconds and upwards of 5 minutes before i can get back into my phone (i have to continuously drag otherwise the phone goes back to sleep). its the only problem i've had with it and sometimes i look like a crazy person sitting there dragging my finger down the front of the phone repeatedly... also causes problems with calander events and alarms, they simply go into snooze everytime rather then being dismissed... its a pity too cause its the only problem i can find but its too big of a problem for me to keep the rom...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Sounds like you need to turn off compcache. Run command "compcache off", and also install autokiller with preset of moderate or optimal
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Deeko1:
I've had mixed results with 6.2. The first time I flashed my phone was unusable with a very heavy lag. I flashed again and it's a lot faster this time. However, when an incoming call arrived to day I couldn't answer it as it wouldn't unlock with swipe or key!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
yes, if you want htc widgets you need to use the stock htc launcher.

from my personal extended experiments with alternative third party widgets I can tell you that most of them appear to use more memory and cpu cycles than the really well coded htc widgets. certainly my phone is faster with sense and sense widgets than with launcher2 or launcher pro and third party widgets after a couple days of use on each of the various systems.

however this is on villainrom 6.2.1 which IS a sense system - maybe it would be better to use the other launchers on a non-sense rom?

also, the quote above saying that it adds features missing from stock launcher is true when compared with stock android launcher, not when compared with stock htc sense launcher. all that's missing from sense launcher are rotation (which, from experience, is always too slow to be useful with other launchers) and customizable lower launch bar icons (which is just silly, that's wasted space there htc!! get with the program).

but otherwise sense launcher is really fast and really smooth.
