Hi Guys

I'm new to the whole root thing, but so far, so good. Everything is runnig smootly. Just one thing, I see that when I use my data connection, it only shows that it's using edge (E), but no 3g or HSDPA. Doesn't the VillainROM 10.3 support it or what's going on?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lohtse:
lol been there done that..got the t-shirt.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
It does support it fine :) What network are you on? Maybe the settings for APN are not correct? But I am getting 2 Mbps downloads as usual, so that's definitely HSDPA
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Ah ok. Right. A maps 4.3 update came out today (I think that's the version number).

To get a logcat, see http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=1322 for a beginners guide :) If you can catch the error, then we can try and figure it out. I have asked around, and this seems to be a strange isolated issue.

Have you asked on the IRC room? If you click www.villainrom.co.uk, there's a tab that goes straight to it. Might be easier that way than trying to do it on the forum, as it's easier to miss a post here (oops)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] G@rf13lt:
MTN (South Africa). I got the APN settings from their site, but I'll pop in and hear what they say, because the OTA funtion doesn't deliver my settings to my phone. Only delivers the MMS settings.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Ah ok. Best to find out. it defo. works for basically everyone else. Hope you get it sorted :)

hi i picked the "nexus" option instead of "htc sense"....how do i go back to htc sense?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Go to menu, settings, applications, manage applications. Find launcher2 or nexus launcher (can't remember which it is called) and look for the clear defaults button. Press home and you should get asked which to use. Choose sense, and tick the box to set as default.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cooperkid:
AAWWWWHHHH!!!!!

do ya ever get one of those "i should have known that!" moments

ha ha cheers buddy

:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cooperkid:
i keep getting

"the application messages

(process com.android.mms)

has stopped unexpectedly.

please try again.

force close"

any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noki@:
Yes I wiped everything, I didn't restore any system settings which would affect its performance, and I am using SetCPU and auto killer.

The problem I have is the slowness of the rom even playing a simple game like Jewels, is very sluggish. I could manage with the force close problems, and the internet problems, but it's, how slow the rom is which is my main concern.

For you to consider it the fastest rom well maybe I am just on a different universe or something:p But this rom is definitely muchhh slower compared to the stock rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cooperkid:
And i cant find the clock+weather widget?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmmm. That is really weird. I have no idea what could be causing this. But it is definitely faster here than anything I've tried. Maybe if you pop into IRC, we can try and help you narrow the issue down.

Are you using apps2sd or dalvik2cache or anything like that? Taken all the hotfixes etc. upto 10.3.2 or 3? tbh I haven't a clue why this could be really.

IRC might be your best bet, and hopefully someone can guide you through a logcat etc. to see if anything's amiss
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noki@:
Yep I am using app2sd, but I have a class 6 SD card 8gb

You think that might be the cause of the problem?,

I am using version 10.3.2 But I had the same problem with the other ones as well (maybe not as much, on the original 10),I have all the fixes (apart from some experimental ones)

Anyway I'll go on IRC as you recommended,

Thanks anon2122
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
HTC sense app data being cleared should help the widget issue.

Not sure about mms fc though. Maybe sense clear will help. If not, could you get a logcat?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furiousbullet:
Quick question about OTA?

IF i perform an OTA update via villain rom updater will i lose all my phone data etc as if i am updating via downloading the rom onto pc then flashing it? Or will it just add to the already existing 10.3 rom?

ta
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noki@:
Nope not if you just use the Villain Rom updater app, all your data should remain.

But its always a good idea to have back-ups of vital data/app, as you never know when you might need it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] htc fan89:
When I click update the new rom isn't poping up, I'm on 10.2. But, I the new radio can be download...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] knokkels:
Just curious, you were saying that you are running setcpu? Which settings are you on?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SkyBanan:
ROM great byt why can not I use a different keyboard than the standard? :confused: I want to use Swype (1.54.28) but I can not even when you select it in the settings, and after killing a standard keyboard. In 10.2 everything worked OK. And it only works on the 10.3.2 original HTC keyboard.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
The 10.3 update isn't on OTA, as it's 120 MB and we don't want to push anyone over their data allowance if they didn't read the changelog.

So grab it from www.villainrom.co.uk and flash manually. Then you can take ota updates to move up to 10.3.2
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] furiousbullet:
Thanks

Ok i will do that later, Could anyone shed some light for Apps2SD on this rom, I have parititioned my memory card for it but there is no option for Apps2SD so i am confused if i have done it is automatically working or I havnt done it properly?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
If you flash villain rom and have an ext2 or 3 (only really need to have a 2) partition then it will auto install your apps2sd.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lohtse:
right will get on with that later today for you..

regards Lohtse
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Ah cool. Hope we can get it sorted :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spacecat:
Moved onto 10.3 and done all the updates and OS working fine

Apart from the music player at lockscreen which works but is very laggy

Takes seconds recognize button presses etc
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Download MixZing as a replacement music player, has never ever lagged for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spacecat:
The music player never lagged in 10.2 and you have to pay for the lockscreen

Mixzing player
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Stop using autokiller. Stop using autokiller. Stop using autokiller.

Heros don't have a lot of RAM. Telling the kernel to keep large amounts of it unused reduces cache/buffers and RAM that can actually be used by apps, the slowness you're experiencing is probably the OOM and the garbage collection going crazy.

Stop using autokiller. People need to stop giving advice to use autokiller. It's a placebo app. Stop using it.

You need to reinstall swype via the Swype Installer when you make changes to the phone's ROM such as version etc. It's to stop people warezing the beta package.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
it will do automatically. Otherwise Download Quick System Info From the market & check it have App2SD Or not .. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 160bpm:
does somebody have a sollution about market connection problems with network data connection?

Wifi is no problem...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SkyBanan:
After installing the ROM Swype has been reinstalled from the SD card. Installed correctly. Swype works only in its own tutorial. In addition, modified keyboard which is in ROM and can not run. In the settings you can select or deselect installed in addition to the keyboard of HTC. In 10.2 HTC keyboard does not exist in the settings. I have to use some other installer Swype?

Thank you for trying to help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yellowt:
I have a problem with the voice dialer. It doesn't work even if the popup appears. The strange thing is that the voice recognition of google maps navigator works perfectly.

How can I have it working? In Italian would be a great thing... I heard that google now support Italian, French and German...

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
That's all I had to do. Swype works fine for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndrewWalker613:
yea, I just installed the OTA .2 update and now my htc bookmarks and calendar are gone. I really dont even know why I installed it. I dont use that lockscreen in the first place.

I guess Ill have to reflash since I dont do nandroid
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kukussi:
LOL... which I could use OTA to upgrade from 10.3.1 to 10.3.2 but OTA now FC on every attempt to open it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Unmount the USB from your computer...as has been pointed out many, many, many times in this thread.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BlueHawk:
You actually just need to go to Applications in Settings and then wipe the data/cache for HTC Sense. Sense sometimes gets a bit confused after an upgrade.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] d5grvty:
I've noticed a few telus types on here, and I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same problem. Every time I reboot, or come into service (when I was out of service) I get a text message from 16005000014 that's either blank or says how many voicemail messages I have. I do still get the regular voice mail notification in the top status bar.

Other than that, this has been the perfect ROM, it's made my phone much much more useful.

Thank you

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] G@rf13lt:
Guys, my gps isn't working. The icon shows at the bar at the top, but my gps software says "No GPS". So I updated to the newest radio: 63.18.55.06OU_6.35.15.01. but still no luck. Any help please?

Update: I got it to work using the following method:

1. turn on the gps

2. get a satellite fix with a program that uses gps

3. reboot the telephone with gps on.

It works with NDrive, My Tracks, and Softrace, but Google Nav just keeps saying that it's checking navigation capabilities...

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks + mp3 playback + image rendering

Firstly I would like to say thanks to the Villain team ....

<gush>

I'm a grey and wrinkly, ( I say that a propos of nothing but to widen the perceived demographic of xda users ). I want to tell you all that I haven't had so much fun with a computer since I was shown how to use a for-next loop on BBC Micro a long time ago. My Hero is coming up for its first anniversary; I got fed up with waiting for HTC; so I took advantage of the superb how-tos here on xda and put 10.3.2 on my device. Absolutely brilliant! Thanks to all.

</gush>

I'm probably using my phone incorrectly but twice now after a longish stint of mp3 playback with the standard music player, the playback sound just stops mid track. When I light up the screen again it still appears to be playing. I can pause and play but I get no sound output. Only when I advance to the next track do I get sound output again. Any ideas what's going on?

And when I use the standard browser to display

www dot jetplan dot com /weather/data/maps/euwxdep00.gif (for example and sorry I'm a new user and the board rules won't allow a ink) The whole screen apppears with a transparent green over-lay. Only by refreshing the link does the image display correctly.

Are these generic HTC issues ar are they local to the villain flavour rom?

I would like to remove setcpu from my phone. Is there a way i can manually change the min and max values? I changed the values in the scaling_min_freq and scaling_max_freq. That worked, but it changed back to default values after reboot! I would also like to remove some of the values in the cpu table! Can anybody advise me on this?

I'm on villainrom10.3.2 with the ben#23 kernel

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
You will need to compile your own kernel then to change the values in the table AFAIK

How much storage?

Just flashed V10.3 nothing loaded, when I flashed V10.0 I had approximately 130M of storage free now I have 100M is this normal?

I wiped everything going to V10.3 and even repartitioned my SD Card to make sure Ext 512: 0 Swap the rest FAT32.

I searched but with the thread as big as it is I did not find anything.

Thank you!

EDIT: Got it figured out, found reference to apps2sd-DCupdate.zip that did the trick now show 150M.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] emay:
Funny, you are seeing a typical behavior of pre 10 ROM's. Maybe you should try to wipe and load the latest 10.3.2 ROM.

Market update

Hi guys,

Enjoying this rom I noticed a difference with other roms. Usually restoring apps from a backup program, the apps were also present in the download section on de Market app. So I was always prompted for any update. Now the apps are not shown. Does anyone know how to fix this? I searched this thread but could not find anything about this.

Market Problem YEt AGN!!!

Im using VR 10.3.2 and im not able to download anything from the market! It says download unsuccessful. I tried to delete a previously installed app and redownload that. Same problem! HELP!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] G@rf13lt:
Well, I do have the latest ROM (VillainROM 10.3.2). But I will wipe everything and load again and see what it does.

I also have the problem that my battery drains +-40% in 8 hours. Is that normal? Because android 1.5 used about 30% PER DAY. So this is a bit on the heavy side. Did something go wrong when I loaded the ROM the first time?

Thanks to the guys from VillainROM, I think they did a wonderful job!!! I really don't want to move away from this ROM, as it has everything that I want, so help on the battery issue would be highly appreciated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] moiezomar:
Okay so i have VR 10.3.2 on a ORange HTC hero and my radio is 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18

I didnt bother flashing a radio. VR 10.0.0 the GPS worked fine but now i cant get a gps fix so always the accuracy is a network fix which really doesnt help. I need the gps so any help on this would be appreciated :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
First post on forum xda. I have some issues with the 3D GALLERY system. I did the 2nd flash this day (always did a full wipe before flashing): when i first booted the system, the icon in the menu named Gallery was there. I restarted my phone, did a partition to the SD card, ext2 to ext3, and when i booted back, the icon of the 3D GAllery is gone. I've tryed to enter in the process runing in the background to see if its there. Nothing; i've tryed at apps in the menu, still nothing.

So, anyone have this issue?

Am i doing something wrong? I've read some couple of posts here and I saw some dudes saying that the Gallery is "dead" after one use or something like that.

So, devs of the Villain 10.3 could you respond to my query because i really love that 3d Gallery thing and is something that i can't go further with this rom if this isn't resolved in the near future and i might consider giving a go to other roms made by Villain. This is not a threat of any kind, is just a query for a user that loves Villain Roms. Thanks!

problem with live wallpapers

firmware

VillainROM 7.3.0

radio

62.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26

Build

VillainROM10.3.0

software

3.31.751.1

im having some trouble getting the live wallpapers to work. anytime i go to load one it shows the preview along with the "set wallpaper" button. when i press the button it goes back to the original wallpaper. everything else works great on the phone, except the live wallpapers. could use some help asap
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] junooni:
facing Exactly the same issue, with a slight addition:

tried using ADW launcher, the load time is significantly better and i don't get the 'white htc screen' anymore when i go back home from an app, which was almost always on the sense....using 3 screens on ADW.

live wallpapers work like a charm with lesser cpu signature, however, leaving the phone standby for a while takes it back to the last selected static wallpaper

would appreciate a fix asap.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Don't hold your breath. Lack of 3d support on the Hero is why Live wallpapers don't work properly.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
You're not supposed to partition the card after flashing the rom. This formats the ext partition where Gallery and some other things are stored.

You will have to reflash.

Awesome, Thanks alot!!:D

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ePh432:
Alarm failed to be triggered after the phone turned off (stand by) overnight.

Immediately after switching on the screen, the alarm notification displayed on screen.

Thought this ROM may have solved the problem coz been working fine for days.

Didn't have any task killer activated or even installed.

Is there a cure for this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
So, let me get this straight. I cannot use apps2sd because if i do, i will lose some things this ROM has stored in my card? And how can I make this to work even if I do want to make apps2sd? Someone was told me to go to the wiki villain - section apps2sd- and download that patch (i did my partition sd from the recovery menu, not flashing the Apps2SD-DC-update.zip). So do you guys think that if i flash that patch i wil have the gallery installed even if do the partition? Also, the same guy found me the download of the 3d gallery for android, its the same one but in the description it says: It requires Flikie wallpapers HD. I don't want to install 3d party apps, i want it from the ROM.

Any help on this one it will be very useful. Btw new skin of the forum, rocks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1ceb0x:
Anyone can help me? So i've just think logic. IF i Do a full wipe, format my SD card, then make partitions, and after that FLASH the new rom do you think that now i can have 3d gallery and all the core parts of the rom will go in to the sd not in the memory phone?

I'm thinking that if you have the core of the new rom into the memory card it will be much more difficult for the phone to move better especially if you have a 2nd class of sd (2gb) like i have.

So i'm not able to think of anyway to make apps2sd to work and to have Gallery installed also.

Thanks angela, i didn't buy a new sd card but i supposed that you reffered to the part where they say to remove everything on your card, partition it in the recovery menu, transform to ex3, then mount it in the recovery menu (do not boot), put everything on your memory card, put also the new rom, unmount the sd card, and then apply the custom rom. Is this what you're sayin? :)... If so, I was thinking about this today, and i wanted to give it a go. Can you confirm this please?
