Anyone else seeing Sim contacts showing when pressing the dialer, even though I've 'unchecked' them from the view menu i.e. they don't show when I click the 'People' app

Anybody know how to get rid of this ANNOYING issue??

Re: [ROM] VillainROM 10 - Official 2.1 GSM Hero Base

I can't connect to my mobile network, even inputing APN manually. Mobile Network keeps showing "Turning on..." Ad Eternum =\

Had to roll back to previous version...

Swap size

Hi all,

How much swap partition size we should keep?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BigD18t:
0 pretty sure villainroms dont use swao still.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melodaf:
Man, I read again almost all messages in this thread and still couldn't find a link to this "new radio" thing, only people saying they are downloading it. Where can I find it ?

I confess I am scared of flashing new radios on the phone. I will only do this cause I can't make my mobile network to work. It keeps saying "Turning on...".

I entered APN manually, so there is no use in backing it up and restoring it.

Anyone can share some light ?

...Battery Life

Hello ALL,

Does anyone else have issues with the battery life running this ROM ?

No ROM has used as much Battery since I have been flashing so I feel it could be something I did.

I have flashed ROM, wiping all wipables. Everything seems to be running well as we speak...no FCs or other issues reported whatsoever, but when idle the battery went from like 100% to 91% in round about an hour !!!

Let me know what else to try y'all:(

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kd2k:
I can't connect using USB to my computer any more, not even in recovery mode, the computer just asks for drivers but never finds them, I've installed the latest HTC Sync but that does nothing.

htc sense facebook

use the villianRom updater and install the HTC sense facebook sync. for me i didnt notice the changes straightaway and the 'People' app didnt recognise contacts to link. it may have required yet another boot for it all to kick in... but eventually this update will let you sync contacts, to facebook photos, status updates, thumbnails, birthdays, etc.

im still missing the twitter widget... i have htc's 'Peep' installed and signed in but theres no corresponding widget. (ive also tried the updater from OTA villianRom)

im currently using both the official facebook and twitter android apps - and corresponding widgets as a make-shift for the htc 'Friend Stream'

No good. I flashed the new radio (never felt so many butterflies in my stomach before), but the mobile network still refuses to connect. Sometimes it even appears the H and E icons on the notification bar, but there is no ip and no activity whatsoever. :(

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Are you sure you're connected to the internet? lol.

They work fine.

I've been (and 2 of my RL mates have been) using this ROM for the past few days. All of us have commented on its stability, etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melodaf:
Okay, just made it work. The trick was to "Reset to default" the APNs list, and re-enter the values of my carrier again.

I had never had to do this, but screw it... it is working now ! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ddotpatel:
Having a play with the new Modaco ROM,.... 2 things,...

1,... There is a status bar at the bottom of the bootscreen to show progress,...

2,... When zoomed out on homescreens you can press and hold on one screen and move the whole thing to another position.

Would be excellent to have these tweaks on Villain10 or the next Superhero build,....... Please,......
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] butterbeanmash:
Yep. 10% battery loss per hour is my figure, whether in use or mainly idle. Using the older radio, tried the experimental battery fix. Just charged for 8 hours, down to 84% since switching on at 3pm. I think I might try another full wipe and re-install. 6.2 wasn't great for my battery life but it was better than this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melodaf:
There is already a status bar in the booting process, but I really liked this "touch and move" on the home screens thing =D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marka2k:
I can go 24hrs from a full charge with Exchange Sync turned on as items arrive, Gmail as items arrive moderate texting and about 30m of calls.

auto killer set as aggressive.

Over Clock Widget set as 690 when screen is on and 275 (dont remember exact number) when screen is off.

Really like the battery life on this ROM

OK, I'm going to flash again, because something's not quite right with mine!

Some is saying that new radio consumes more battery, but offers better signal and reception.

Also did you set your Phone settings to GSM PRL ? Type *#*#4636#*#* and check.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Neo Cortex:
I am getting the same loss. Tried new radio and old one. Running same programs as before with Android 1.5 when I would get about a day and a half. Something's not right
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vancouver_hawk:
got the latest radio, GSM PRL (auto), overclock widget is at 691 on 192 off, experimental battery life improvement update installed. haven't charged the phone for 48 hrs and still at 50% with GPS on, sync on, lots of txting and talking, using market, and surfing the web... so far best rom for battery life :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] naholyr:
That's unbelievable we can have such heavy differences... Here I have the same behavior as the other ones : I can't pass the day with this ROM :(

I didn't use 6.2, my last ROM was BeHero+ with one of the first flavour of the latest .29 kernel. And it was just so perfect : more than 1.5 days with my use, which was exactly what I experimented with my stock 1.5 :) No other ROM provided this, and I think it will still not be the case :(

A bug I have just now : Wi-Fi refuses to work, it just says "failed to initialize", and my phone is really overhot ! I shut it down to let it cool a little, and I'll try again, I'll post logcat if it's still out...

Plus a big freeze when getting out waking up this afternoon, I use 160/710, as with the BeHero, and I had no problem with that before.

Anyone elses keyboard randomly disappear? I now have no keyboard....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kd2k:
Found out my USB problem (Vista asking for drivers) was due to USB Debugging being switched on in Settings >> Applications >> Development.

I'm guessing a lot of you guys had the SDK installed and therefore had the right drivers but others who don't just need to switch USB debugging off to be able to mount your SD Card.

this happened when I did a wipe+partition after the flash, I did a wipe on a few things so I'm not completely sure what causes it, but re-flashing the ROM fixes it

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vancouver_hawk:
I used other roms (VanillaEclair, Cronos Droid, SenseHero) and none of them lasted longer than a day... I dunno what I did rith but my phone keeps running and battery drain is minimal... btw I did battery reset when it was at 5% (maybe that make a difference), I also use task killer and kill all tasks (except for overclock widget) when my phone is sleeping...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Unfortunately no option to choose 672 Mhz,I only can choose 653!

Because at 691,sometimes phone freeze!

wow! how did you get 4.43 MFLOPS??? I only get 3 :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Did some mods,statusbar,battery and enabled JIT (Just-in-time-compiler)!

But I could get a little bit more MFLOPS,if I can choose 672Mhz,but not

supported with overclock widget!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] seshmaru:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] franner:
just curious, there where some issue I see on vallain homepage under bugs. Are these solved yet or thay still exists? Is the rom full functional and free of FC etc. issues?

I have not yet flashed a rom but its really important that all is full functional as I use the phone for daily use.

The rom seems nice too see from peoples answers through there where some issues.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] H dave:
I been using it as a daily rom and I've not had a single problem with it. It's fast, hasn't bogged down and is stable. It's their best release so far
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saf1901:
another top drawer release. The facebook fix works and is faster and more stable than any of the 6.x roms.

I prefer the clean roms- you can install widgets/programs if you want them. Its much harder to remove bloatware like peep and stocks.

only tiny tiny criticism is that the screen doesn't scroll to the box you are typing in sometimes- so keyboard obscures what you are typing. Also the only way to get rid of the keyboard is to press menu- I quite liked having the arrow to remove it.

However this is minor and this is a keeper- and nandroided for return to when trying something else.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BigD18t:
I think if you turn off the smiley hack in the keyboard options the keyboard down arrow comes back.

I've been using this Rom with the latest radio and the battery lasts all day, that's with WiFi on twidroid updating plus widgets like game buzz, tech buzz, mobile buzz and engadget all updating frequently.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] scoopo16:
3 Ireland

Just got this ROM installed and have to say its the best rom ever runs so smoothly, however one problem is that i can't seem to get my 3G signal with three Ireland working, I have all the APN settings the same as on the original rom and others and they all worked fine, only differnece in this rom is it says in network mode list GSM only WCDMA only or GSM/WCDMA auto which i never seen before dunno if this is the problem any ideas?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KaiserJay:
Just registered to say that the rom has been working much better than the previous ones for me so far :D Thanks a lot for the work!

If I could make one suggestion, it would be that the lack of apps HTC tack onto the Desire's Sense is a real bonus. My phone would constantly give me the "Low on Storage Space" warning after installing an app or two, but now it's back to well over 100mb of space on the system even after installing a whole bunch of apps and games.

If anything, there could be a separate "VillainROM+" ROM which has all the apps like FriendStream & the 3D Gallery for all those people who have fast enough SD cards to handle APPS2SD.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Here is a workaround for the issue with calls not working.

1) Install VillainROM 10.0 (www.villainrom.co.uk/releases/VillainROM10.0/download.php)

2) Start the phone, then reboot to recovery

3) Wipe dalvik cache and flash 10.1 (www.villainrom.co.uk/releases/VillainROM10.1)

This will fix the issue.

We are working on identifying the cause of the issue, but this seems to be an OK workaround for now

Great job guys, just one thing, how do I check what radio I'm using? Since I know I'm using a fairly old one (from around the time Modaco 3.2 got released). But my radio is giving me no problems and battery life is great, 20% battery drain in 11 hours.
