Good ROM but I have a multi touch problem

Flashed this rom and test it for days, stable and fast. But today I notice that the multi touch function seems to be missing. I tried to zoom in a photo in Photo, but only have the single touch effect. And also in QuickOffice, tried to zoom in text, no response. Is it just me, and can anyone help with this ?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] moiezomar:
I and a lot of people are getting this problem. Hopefully villain team will fix this soon. In the mean time if u want to use gps i suggest this:

Turn on gps then open GPS using app (maps, maverick, here i am etc..) and while its getting a gps fix (gps icon working in status bar) switch your fone off. Reboot and u'll be able to use GPS.

Here's a question:

SHould I go for this update (10.3), or should I go for the 12.0 which contains A2.2?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Umm. 12.0 isn't android 2.2. That's FroydVillain.

I would recommend you updated to VR12 :) Official release is the base for it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
yeah VR12 is the fastest VR rom there has been (prior to Froyd) certainly the best on a 2.1 base :D

Updater help?

Hello everyone.

totally basic question, but nevertheless I've been unable to figure out the answer.

I've applied 10.3.0 and it's working fine (well, expect for facebook)

anyway, I've been using the OTA updater... the files download, I select apply, and then it reboots. so far so good.

but during the reboot stage, I feel like I should be doing something to apply the update. because when I return to the updater, it doesn't have any new updates for me, moreover it still lists the files I was updating.

thanks in advance. I've decided that I like my Hero again...

cheers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] excfrost:
Change to Vr12..awesome :D:D..about the OTA updater.. the update will still be there even after u flashed it.. i think there is an explanation on this at villainrom main website.. feel free to visit anytime.. :D

I'm having the Facebook sync issue as well. My own contact card syncs correctly, but the remaining phone contacts can't retrieve/link the pictures/info from the respective facebook contacts.

I'm doing the following:

a) I open the contact card

b) Click on the link icon on top right

c) Click on Facebook contacts

d) Search contacts window opens, but shows no contacts to sync with.

I can use both Facebook for HTC Sense and Facebook for Android just fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] samlee17:
wow......It's so cool....

THANKS A LOT
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
You did notice this is a rather old ROM, there is for example Villain 12.0 or RCMix v2 (and many others) if you want a 2.1 Sense ROM, and a some good Froyo 2.2 ROMs (without sense) - for example FroydVillain 1.5.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] koinnflak:
Still using this ROM but can't get the GPS to work.. Tried with RunKeeper and GPS Status or something like that, it doesn't get the signal right. I could update to VR 12 but I can't be bothered with all the hassle with wipes etc, I somehow managed to get my contacts synced to Facebook finally. Someone know anything about the GPS?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Psyed:
Can't help you here. Just one advice... just do the upgrade. :) Even you not liking to do the wiping and stuff, it's better just to do it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ante0:
Easy, Titanium Backup -> backup all your apps to sdcard.

Nandroid -> Wipe.

Flash VR12 or FV.

Check if GPS works...

If it does, restore all your apps using Titanium.

If it doesn't, restore the nandroid.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] koinnflak:
Thanks mate, will give it a go, sounds easy enough :)

VillainROM Updater error in recovery

Hi guys,

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zyborg:
Thank you for this almost perfect ROM.

The UI localization, however, is inconsistent. If/When I (e.g.) select "Dansk (Denmark)" during initial boot, the UI is NOT translated into Danish, but is rather still in English. I can still select a Danish keyboard layout, though.

Is there an explanation for this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yup. HTC didn't include the localisation files :( We will likely need to wait for a WWE release to get full localisation like VillainROM 6.2

all official 2.1 what is based of taiwan update have only two lang.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Because you're English and the site is based in UK. That's why you have no issues. ^__^

The problem is with Google messing up with DNS servers or more likely with cacheing the website on their servers, so without setting the DNS on PC to 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 it may not always work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:

Can someone clear up a few queries for me.

At the moment I'm running Cronos 1.5, everything seems to be working. If I flashed this 'Official' Release, what would be the benefits? As I'm aware, this doesn't come with better battery life due to no new kernel?

Also, because Taiwan have had their update, should we assume that the Official HTC Update in the UK will be within the next day or so?

HI,

This is my first time flashing my htc hero (telus-gsm) and i am just wondering what the correct steps are to backup my contact list and flash the new Villainrom10 + SenseVillan? :confused: I just want to know the correct steps to take, and i will google/search for the howto's.

Thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Wiley87:
If you use a google account, your contacts automatically sync. By syncing your contacts with your Google account, eg twizller@googlemail.com, you will automatically have your contact list back once you flash your ROM.

To flash a ROM you must first flash a recovery, such as Amon Ra's recovery. You can find this on the forum.

After this you can then flash any ROM of your choice.

Whenever I connect my evo I get nothing. If I use HTC sync it just tries to snyc empty folders than back to nothing. So give a NOOB some help......

Thanks for all advice

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akulamenuri:
When you first connect your Evo to the computer its going to say "Charge Only" in the notification bar. Pull the notification bar down and click on "Charge Only". When you do you will see 4 different listings: Charge Only, HTC Sync, Disk Drive, and Internet Sharing. To make your device appear in My Computer your gonna wanna click on Disk Drive.

Hope that helps :)
