VillainROM 6.1: Via OTA updater (shortly) or from ota/FinalVillainROM6.1-Patch-signed.zip and VillainROM 6.0.0: releases/VillainROM6/download.php from http://villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=680

Are there any wrong?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pontefix:
somehow it reaches the unlock screen too fast andthe htcsetup cannot be launched.

easy solution: reboot. when you are at the unlock screen again - WAIT. Do NOT unlock. wait for 2 minutes or so, then unlock and it works.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] animation:
After I reboot it, the problem seems disappear. Thankyou all.

Another question, can I flash the HTC flip clock to this Rom?

Guys, I just donated yesterday for the excellent ROM experience I was having with the VillainROM series, but with the release of 6.1, I got set back again a few steps. The ROM is very flaky, slow, unresponsive and such. What has happened? Of course, I did a full wipe of everything and even repartitioned my SD to make sure those were not the reason.

I decided to flash Cronos 1.4.1 and it works like a charm, in fact is does everything right that VR6.1 does not. Sorry to inform about this!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tuomi:
You have to wait a good while til all applications are in sync again like facebook, gmail, calendar etc. And also apply your OC again with preferrably setcpu which you can find in the forums..

EDIT:

BTW Anon, where has the import of Facebook-birthdays gone? It was so conveniently synced into the calendar-view and widget..?

Loaded this ROM stuck on HERO screen

Hi there I have loaded this ROM and everything seemed to go ok but it is staying on the HERO scren after booting.

Is this normal? Its been on that screen for about 15 mins now?

Any help is much appreciated.

I wiped everything prior to installing.

Regards

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nortynort:
Had a lot of trouble with this ROM with the UK G2 Touch.

Full wipe including EXT. Installed just fine. Played around with it for a day and rebooted the phone several times as always but its very slow for me. :confused:

Whereas other ROMs work perfectly fast for a while then slows down in a day or two, I've not managed to get 6.1 working fast at all from the get go. Everything I do there seems to be a half to one second delay, even things like the lock screen and swiping down to unlock. Installing apps from the market, it downloads as normal but freezes the phone for about 3-4 seconds while it installs.

Tried Autokill and a few presets but not a lot of improvement. Also when typing in forms from the browser such as the search box on google.com, the keyboard doesn't show up even though the box turns green. When keyboard does work at other places, such as text messaging, the vibration feedback comes on and off randomly. Its perplexing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Don't worry about this. It is if you have the phone SD card mounted to PC, or your data connection isn't initialised when it loads. You can disable automatic checking in the app if you want to fix this.

But it's being looked into
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spania:
sorry, but this is one of the slowest roms ever... and fc everywhere.... :eek:

... and yes i wiped everything etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Indy_Hero:
Really fast rom. Really pleased :D

Setcpu runs at 690. Battery life seems decent as well. No forced closes, slightly slow at startup like any computer equipment but after a couple of minutes it flys!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hi, we fixed the issue. It was if you didn't set overclock settings, and didn't use autokiller.

If you want to give it another go, install Autokiller via OTA, and flash the kernel from http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=12114#p12114

A 6.2 release is maybe coming soon ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tuomi:
Allthough it seems to run well and smooth without autokiller as well, just need it to settle down and set your frequencies..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK. Set your clock speeds using SetCPU, and install autokiller.

If you still have trouble, install the kernel from http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=12114#p12114

This definitely fixes it, and is the fastest ROM I've used. And only 10% battery used in a day :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Razor302:
Mines still not loaded afer an hour. Just the HERO Screen

Hi Ive loaded the ROM but the HERO screen just remains.

Wot Am I doing wrong if indeed anything? All my other ROMS load no worries !!

Help me plz !!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kerzo:
I have also just flashed 6.1 today and after a few reboots and an hour or two the phone has pretty much just ground to a halt after switching the music application on.

I have been able to overclock ok but it doesn't seem to make a difference what speed I set it to, I only have a few apps installed at the moment so I would be surprised if something I have installed is hogging resources. Similar complaint as a previous user BTW - when installing or downloading from the market the phone really seems to slow down and also when syncing accounts.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
You installed that kernel above? And installed autokiller? If you do, that will make it nice and nippy, regardless of overclock settings :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] knudsen81:
Have you find out why the friend stream widget do not auto updates?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tuomi:
I would take out the battery and try to boot again
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kerzo:
I had just posted the message prior to trying the altered kernel which has made a massive difference so far! Thanks for the link! (on a side note, I sometimes have great difficulty getting to your forum!)

Keep up the good work guys, looking forward to the next iterations :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Razor302:
Tuomi, I took out the battery but the hero remains HERO on screen.

Also my Bluetooth will not work with any ROM now neither will my screen rotation. Is it my phone or the ROMS. The Btooth actually pairs but will not connect to any other devices.

Please help me !!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
Let me take care of you then if nobody else does :)

Download juice defender from the market and see if that helps you out. you should be able to prevent data connection at all.

Good Luck
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmm. Can you tell us what files you flashed, and when you wiped etc. ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RichardFHTC:
Has anyone found a workround for the friendstream widget not updating, apart from resetting HTC sense everytime.

Other than that no issue so far as ever Good Job Villain Team
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yep. HomerSP has fixed it AFAIK. We are looking to get it out soon, either as an update, or as a 6.2 release with a few other nice things :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Razor302:
Tuomi, I wiped prior to adding the new ROM onto my phone and wiped all settings inc rotate etc. I then tried to add the Vilain 6.1 rom thats when my screen froze.

I have now just downloaded another copy and I am at present re-booting and seeing if this one loads up ok?

I will report back in a few minutes as in espect it it loads and if so if the Btooth and Rotate are working.

Razor
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Razor302:
Well the rom now seems to be loaded ok as I have a coloured splash screen loading, time will tell if I have Btooth and rotation back up and running.

If not (Which I am not holding my breath) what could the issue be?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
We're nearly there with an under-the-hood fix.

It will include a fix to make more apps work, and should get USB tethering working, as well as FriendStream and languages :)

Homer is looking at it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bh4714:
Great ROM, very quick thanks a ton.

A few questions though..

- Where can I get the friends stream widget

- The wallpapers in 5.5 where nice, where can I get those?

- Is it possible to get the voice dialling hack on the keyboard back

- Two instances of picture frame in adroid widget list

- currently not showing my contacts in the facebook list, will try to reboot to see if that gets fixed.

Great work, though guys. Many thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xavier2k3:
There are some issues with it which are currently being worked out. Should see an update to get both working in the near future.

There's an issue with the HTC_IME keyboard with this rom. There's an OTA update to add it, but it has problems running currently and doesn't work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Thanks for your quick reply.

I think so but I'm not the exchange expert.

I try to connect with my company's server, it works flawless with Legendary 1.3.5 (2.1) and the original 1.5 versions. With ChronosDroid and VillainROM 6.0 it doesn't work with the same details even in the configuration menu.

thanks again for your support.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] odin13:
after installing the rom i only have 96 mb of internal space left...

what am i doing wrong?

i did a full wipe and have an Ext3 partition....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] j0bro:
Good stuff, please do so.

I found that MoreLocale2 actually enables me to select Dutch, which gives full translations all over the show, great! Only the keyboard language can't be set to Dutch, but this has to do something with an IME file which has to be edited, isn't it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deanguqiang:
i find a really strange problem. it seems to lose multi-touch some times (in browser and home ) . i dont know why.

and my hero always freeze and i cannt awake it.

You could say that yeah.

Also, friendstream should be fixed for next version.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Did you do a full wipe and install? (including EXT). Most people seem to think it's faster, just wondering if something wasn't right.

Also, linpack of 3 with OC seems normal. that's a tad low

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Blezz:
any prediction when 6.1 with multilang will be ready?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Make an EXT partition on the sd card and then install the ROM. It is automatic :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Today I hope. But HomerSP is working on it, as it is more than just multilanguage :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hi, if you pop over to www.villainrom.co.uk, you can join us in IRC, and ask someone else to try the bluetooth thing.

Rotate definitely works on the ROM though, as I'm using it just now.

Try the sensor checking app on market (free). Can't remember name though :(

It will check the hardware sensor is working OK for you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Razor302:
Right the ROM has now loaded, BUT still no Btooth or Rotation works on my HERO, Anyone know what the issue could be?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kerzo:
A couple of hours on and the phone is still snappy and no ill effects so the kernel modification solved my problems! I noticed when I was out that the volume button on the side would only work when the screen was either on or locked, when it goes off I can't change volume. Is this something that is being looked at or has been noticed before?

It's not a big issue by any means but something I would utilise on a regular basis :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nightblazze:
I think I got 6.1 to finally work.

Hello,

I want to say, I really enjoy this rom, its fast and reliable... so far..

I have a TELUS hero, and after 5 re-flashes, I think I finally got it to work with little to no issues.

If you're having problems with 6.1 and have a TELUS Hero, you can try my steps. (I'm a noob at this, so I might be doing something that's not necessary, I can say it works for me though...)

1. Flash like what they tell you to in previous posts (6.0 do a full wipe, and the dvaik-cache for upgrading to 6.1 then reboot).

2. I'm not sure if this steps helps, but it seems to work for me. After rebooting and the main setup screen loads where you setup your initial settings... I opened several applications and waited for it to load (this was the most time consuming part) So applications like People, or Friendstream, or Text Messages, Internet Browser, I dialed 1 person, and then connected the phone to a computer to wait for the program to run atleast once.

"People" took quite long, about 3-5 minutes...

3. At this point after it ran well, I installed titanium backup, set USB debug and Allow external programs to be installed and then rebooted my machine.

4. (optional) Using Titanium backup, I installed the apps, while not replacing any services from a backup I have from 6.0.

5. Used SetCPU as the Overclock application as it seems to work a lot better than the OC Widget. MAX: 691mhz MIN: 352mhz. (been about 8 hours and no issues with colours or lag or stalled/hung/frozen machine).

6. Installed AutoKiller, used Aggressive Settings.

7. Do anything else you want, (setting up Twitter, Importing contacts, I use Outlook to control my contacts, and they've been linked to the Facebook accounts that way... I've gotten no issues with Facebook not downloading contact pics)

8. Did a final reboot. and now I'm a happy camper!

Hope this helps someone... :D

After few days of using VR 6.1 my phone became so slow that it was impossible to use it. Yesterday I was on a race and couldn't even time laps - it was so unresponsive that it was too much of a task! Calling someone was even worse, after waiting for phonebook to appear and pressing dialing, screen went blank and there was no way to cancel the call. After the person answered, there was around 15s delay for vibrating answer notification and then screen went on... horror. And yes, I'm using OverclockWidget, did a wipe, cleared dalvik

OTA Autokiller really helped! Now it's all good :)
