By pressing "Home Button" you will see the Launcher!

HTC Sense dosen`t support the Live Wallpapers,you have to

chosse Launcher Pro or Startseite!

Then If you set Launcher Pro you can choose Live Wallpapers as background.

But only one Live Wallpaper available in this ROM,for more,download Live Wallpapers

from Market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dbsoundz:
Ah, OK :) While pressing the Home Button I can choose between Sens, Launcher Pro and Startseite...

Great! Dankeschön!

very slow ???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] parkerbol:
Very very good and fast even with Launcher pro and livewallpapers (but gadget at all).

OC up to 691MHz and down to 480MHz with a refresh every 10s.

Battery uptime 2 days.

Since 6.2, I've got sometimes "SMS General error". I don't know if I can log that to help you. FYI, between 6.1 and 6.2, I didn't wipe.

GPS capture is a bit long (up to 10min for 7 satellites).

EDIT : again ...

SMS Error

Cause Code : 196

Error Class : 3

Phone takes a long time to boot

Hello all,

When i switch on my phone it takes a very long time to boot up and sometime it even crashes. It stays on the loading screen ( 4 colours) for a long time. How can i stop this from happening?

Thanks,

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Umm. Are you using Apps2SD? Can you check using the shell to see how large each folder is, and identify what is taking up all the room?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
First boot takes a while, as it's setting up the phone. After that, it will be faster. But remember that when sense appears, it's not completely ready. HTC decided to load sense earlier. If the crash is the Updater, don't worry. It sometimes does that if your internet connection isn't ready.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Did you clear HTC Sense data? It's updating fine here without me even telling it to update. I'm using big widget btw.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snefkens:
No i am not using apps2sd, how can i open the shell and see the folders?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mehaul:
Hi,

The screen stays on the black background screen with the 4 colours streaming for a long time even before the sense appears. This happened after the initial boot. so its not setting up the phone.

"People" FC

Hi All,

I have an issue that I have not been able to find a solution for. I am running VillainRom 6.2.

When I go into "People" and pick a name, it sometimes Force Closes. It always FCs on the same name, but not all. I have a feeling that it is ony the people that has a Facebook link in there, but I am not sure.

Do others have this problem and is there a solution for it? Half my contacts are missing!

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Kingkeld.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] owny:
thanks man :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snefkens:
Can anybody help me with the full memory message that i get? The memory is filling up itself. And after a while it says memory full, it happens with apps like racing thunder 2 it will be 40mb without cache!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Try apps2sd as mentioned above :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] snefkens:
Yes i can do that but the problem is that the app racing thunder lite 2 is only 4 mb but it grows to 40mb. Is that normal? It wasn't so on my stock rom 1.5
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmmm. Strange. I don't use that app, but might be worth connecting via adb and doing "df -h" so we can see if it is correctly reporting the amount of space being used.

Or do it through a terminal app on the phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Also, do you mean the RAM is running low, or do you mean /data/app storage is low?

If RAM, run the command "compcache off" via a terminal and reboot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] baptisedeskimo:
I'm really loving villain 6.2! But there are 3 things i noticed with my version and are a bit annoying but not life theatening ;)

1st: I akways get force close of villainrom updater at boot

2nd: installed 6.2 but after wiping sense cache, i got a lot FC's on HTC Sense (solved this by doing full wipe and installing 6.2 full)

but 3th and this is the most annoying one, my sms messages don't get send properly, it gives 6 out of 10 times the error of sms not send, but it actually did send the sms. So i keep annoying people with sending the sms 4 or 5 times.

I'm using handcent as default message client, but the same exists in the stock message application!

Thanks for perhaps a solution or an explanation!

Keep up the good work guys!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiley87:
Anyone know what the safe level of overclocking usually is? At the moment it's on 576.

Also, I remember an update file for apps2sd that made it work straight away, 2.5 or something? Could I flash that or do I need to go through the basic steps. It seemed to work on Cronos 1.3 and Villain 6.0 I believe.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] freemsk1:
691 looks smooth enough for me ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiley87:
Thanks! When you set the overclocking to xxx minimum, does that mean that when the phone isn't in use it lowers the rate? If so, should I keep that at a low level, or boost it up to max level constantly?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Apps2SD should work immediately on 6.2. See http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=376 if you want help on checking it's working
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sgpoorman:
this rom rocks! just that it doesn't have chinese keyboard.

1. App2SD work instantly...but need to use AppsToSD app to copy app to SD card.

2. Use SyncMyPix to sync contact with facebook

3. Use OverClock widget instead of SetCPU for improve performance.

thanks!! U made me love my hero again...........
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dthomasen:
in my desperation, I'll try bringin' this up again..

Tried flashing another rom today, and MMS worked, but when I flashed back to Villain, it didn't.. So it's a rom failure somewhere .. :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiley87:
The reason I came back to Villain was because of MMS. Have you tried the gscript method?

That worked for me first time, no need to type anything in manually.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dthomasen:
Yes, as mentioned I've tried it :( MMSzap also, no luck.. :confused:

If anyone would check the script, it would be wonderfull :)

My MMS Settings (All of them, if it's not mentioned here it's supposed to be blank):

The script I'm using:

#!/bin/sh
mmsproxy='194.182.251.15'
mmsport='8080'
mmsc='http://192.168.241.114:8002/'

about going back.. the twitter widget in v5 is nicer to. updates when going to it.. and its more wide =D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melodaf:
Just OTA updated to 6.1 and was not happy when I did not see the HTC widgets. Will they come back when I update to 6.2.0 ?

first: great work, very fast rom (Total CPU Score of 205=)) everything seems to be working! =)

But: When i set the CPU max to 710Mhz sometimes the Phone freeze' (workaround for this: wake up the phone with the "call/phone"-button)

sometimes the overclocked phone needs a very long time to wake up :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Just use OC widget to reduce overclock speed. This is just a hardware issue with your individual handset

Hehe. You like that?

I don't know about the issue. It seems to be phone specific. Try it again and see. Others have had the issue, but it seems fine for 95% of users, and i think the fix is to try again
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] inoam:
It's very easy I think. It just needs to be the rest of the fonts. It's doesn't affect other languages for sure. Would make a bunch of people happy. The fonts are available here.

You can test by going to www.ynet.co.il and checking that it doesn't render squares.

Please Please have it on this version.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bulltronStudios:

Just to add my tuppence-worth I'm running 6.2.1 with the OC widget set to 691, and 245 to 384 with the screen off, and Autokiller set to 'aggressive'. The ROM is really zippy, and apart from the occasional purple/distorted screen on wake (I just press the 'hang up' button and try again) I've had no problems whatsoever. I went from 5.5 to 6 with a full wipe and have upgraded as and when the updates have become available OTA. I have K-9 checking every 10 minutes, Tweetcaster every 30 and Facebook every 2 hours and the battery has drained by 50% in about 22 hours.

I think this ROM is fantastic, and has transformed my phone.

Just thought I'd post a reply with no problems :D

Thanks TeamVillain.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK. I think I know the issue. Some people don't like the way the lock screen works by default (where you have to grab the handle quite accurately for it to slide down). Try unlocking with the menu key and you'll see it's fine.

If this isn't the issue (which is likely the case if you're on 6.2), then check your underclock settings and increase the minimum.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] schmaun:
I have the same issue. Every contact i get the error message has a birthday. I didn't tried all contacts. But the contacts i can open without problems have no birthday set, and the two contacts where where i get the error have a birthday (can't see it cause error, but i know i set it on them)

Currently i am running 6.2 patch from 6.1. 6.1 had the same issue.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phel21:
Not sure, but my Hero freezes completely within 2-3 min of use after setting the max frequency at the highest available. It works ok at 652 max. Yet, it's testing my patience with its sluggishness even with min freq at 480MHz. I've seen pre-loading being blamed for sluggishness after boot, but what makes villain heavier than other ROMs. I haven't tested that many ROMs, but can attest to e.g. SenseHERO/SenseESPRESSO performing a lot better that VR6.2.1 even without any OC. And it's not just a small difference. For me it's smooth vs useless. Or at least terribly irritating ;)

Not as fast, smooth or stable as Cronos.

Did you disable compcache?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
I flashed this rom straight over cronos with no wipe at all, and then flashed the su-widgets fix and one of the kernels, and its running wonderfully! as good as cronos i think, with the added features like friendstream and other widgets :)

so i guess you all could try that
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Don't set it at the highest available. It sounds like your hardware can't cope with it.

If it's sluggish, that's not right - this is one of the fastest ROMs about. Try disabling compcache (use command "compcache off"). Also, if you're in any doubt, try the full 6.2 release (www.villainrom.co.uk/releases/VillainROM6.2/download.php) with a wipe (if you're coming from another ROM).

If you still have performance issues, pop into IRC (link on the tab bar on the site), and we can help you fix it :)

P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Thanks for the tip. I think you can also get it working with a fresh install from a wipe too, but this is a reasonable upgrade path if you want the extras like FriendStream and legend-style copy/paste.

I can't vouch if this is a 100% guaranteed method, but I would imagine it would be fine for most people. A wipe would likely solve any little issues, and a dalvik-cache wipe should get you the new HTC Mail widgets we added (failing that, clear HTC Sense data and you'll get them :))
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Working fine here. Just sent a text 2 minutes ago actually using it ;)

Did you do a wipe before install? If you need any more help, pop into IRC and ask for it :) Link on the tabs at www.villainrom.co.uk
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
yeah, i had to clear the Sense data, after that i had all the widgets, including the mail ones. Its great!

Do you also have the dalvik patch? dalvik-cache uses quite a lot of space.

You can check by doing

adb shell ls -l /data

Oh and I think we will disable compcache by default for next release (people seem to have a lot of issues with it).

thats strange :

flashed twice the 6.2.1 from the kitchen on the site , and cannot find the OTA utility inside the rom .

first time flashed after a full wipe , its not there .

flashed again without wipe , still not there .

wiped again , flashed , no OTA .

is there any way of downloading only this application ?

thanks alot for your great work !

this thing is blazing fast , when its on 691 mhz :D

Kitchen Roms don't have updater app yet, since updates would possibly over write your customisations made by the kitchen.

Being looked into though. I might make a special kitchen OTA updater app :-)
