[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] moiezomar:
New

Okay so i thought it was the last straw when HTC release 2.1 for (gsm) Taiwan and no fixed date for the Euoro release. I have a GSM pre unlocked htc hero from orange. I really cant find clear instructions on what to do. I want to Get Villian 10 on it (enough is enough)\

Regards,

Me :D

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] blablue:
oops sorry - wrong quote!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] blablue:
I've just done exactly the same thing and was also unlocked from orange.

Firstly you will need to ROOT your hero:

go to this URL for the ROOT newbie guide ( xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=645253 )

But ignore the goldcard method, you won't need it. Instead use step 10 to downgrade your phone using HTC sync and the orange ROM download off the HTC site, apart from that, just follow the steps and you should find it easy!

Also

Once you get to the custom rom stage, just go to villainrom.co.uk and download the latest 10 2.1 rom and Radio onto the SD card.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] moiezomar:
Thnx. Another question though.... if i do all this (install villian 10) and by some mistake the android 2.1 update for this one does indeed come out....what will happen if i install the RUU/OTA ? i know ill lose root n odr stuff but will i be able to go 'official' ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] blablue:
Yes you would be able to just download the official one and flash it over,

BUT there will be no good reason to do this as as the official one comes out here, it will just mean that the custom ones get better, and have more features than the standard one.

And if you do flash with the official one, you will lose root access forever and not be able to get new custom roms. (pretty grim prospect considering that HTC said that 2.1 will be the LAST update).

On a side note I've been running VillainRom 10 2.1 since release date at it has been FAST, STABLE, NO FC, loads of new features.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] moiezomar:
OK so how long did this take for you? (i downloaded all the stuff) Plus anyway to OC on the current state of my fone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] blablue:
You can only overclock once you have rooted.

Overclock by downloading SetCPU from the market once you have rooted and are running villainrom 10.

About 1 hour altogether
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zain1612:
flashed

Few problems:

First of all no FB sync i mean like contacts

Second in sms all messages recieved are one minute ahead for some reason therefore the flow of the conversation is flawed

and lastly the native music app is really slow especially on the lockscreen takes 6 seconds to change a track
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] moiezomar:
Hmm... im unsure about the radio thing. I have 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29......should i just skip section 3? my signals are always full everywhere i go (except for the kitchen in my house for some reason)....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vancouver_hawk:
everything works for me right now including facebook sync (just download the patch). Apps2sd fixed by converting EXT2 to EXT3, this is the only way I could get it to work... thanks for the ROM. BTW I get 3 MFLOPS constantly and my cpu is set to 691 with screen on and 190 with screen off :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] blablue:
There is no harm in flashing the radio, as you can just download your old one and flash it back over if you have any trouble.

It's probs best to flash it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] moiezomar:
Thnx for all the help man. Im starting now. What about the live wallpapers though? Will they work with the sense launcher?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] blablue:
No they only work from the none-standard launchers, look back a few thread pages for more info about them.

They have to be downloaded from the villainrom updater app after install, along with facebook sync ect.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] moiezomar:
Uhh could you explain more on how to get them? THNX
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] knudsen81:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] moiezomar:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah. Get it from the market.

I just pushed an OTA update to fix the twitter widget. Also, I pushed an experimental one (tick experimental updates in settings to see it) to improve battery life :) Thanks to maxo for the idea :)

Oc Kernel?

It says this rom has a custom oc kernel used in it. Does that mean its already overclocked or do we still need to download overclock widget to activate it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maboss77:
OC kernel

I try this ROM and all was very good. But I see the kernel is OC at 576.

I want know if it's possible to have a kernel with default freq at 528?

Thank you very much.

Wifi Channel 13

This is a very good rom, stable and fast! Only problem i've encountered is that i can't connect to Wifi's with channel 13, or i can't even see them. I guess channel 13 and 14 is disabled in the phone, can i enable them some how?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phiit:
Thanks for this ROM!!! Using it @ 691Mhz and it's very stable, battery life is excellent and everything just works.

Going to stick with this one until (if) we'll ever get a stable working Froyo release for Hero ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jonaskul:
Hi, thanks for this fantastic ROM. I was using it for a day. But I dont like sense, so I vent back to aHero. But thats not very stable. Then I began thinking about just disabling the application HTC Sense. I did that in the 1.5 before I began using custom roms. How is this release running with another launcher?

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] moiezomar:
Great ROM and everything seems to have fixed itself after a few hours of rest :D Only one thing though : the Villain ROM updater app downloads the updates but if i apply them its just jays copying files at the boot menu and nothing happens. I can reboot from there while it says copying. Ive also tried just flashing zips manually but downloaded through the OTA app they dont come up in the menu :confused:

A lil help please?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] El Salvador:
Absolutely the best VillainROM out there. Think I'm gonna use this one for a while :) Thanks again guys!

HELP!

The Keyboard does't pop up or the keyboard is missing!!

With so many replies above, I think I am the only one... why?

I had format the SD card and started from the scratch.

1) Partition the SD card

2) Copy the rom.zip to the phone thru USB cable

3) Flash the rom.zip

4) Wipe the setting and DV to ensure nothing there.

5) Reboot

No keybaord showing, cant login to the Google, cant download coz i couldnt login. Could anyone point me out here, please?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
Wipe before flashing, do not wipe after. Otherwise it removes the data the update.zip installed partially :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kerzo:
Hi guys,

Sorry if it has already been mentioned but when I use SetCPU, the max clock speed is 576MHz. Do I need to use a different piece of software to enable higher CPU speeds or is this just a limitation of this kernel?

Cheers.

After flashing I repartionied the sd in order to enable apps2sd.

Now, I got the following Problem. I mount the sd card to copy my backup to it. As soon as I dismount the sd, all the data I copied previously are deletet.

Next thing, keyboard isn't working at all. No options etc. But I can't reflash the rom because of the problem mentioned above.

Hello to the Villain Team:

You guys are doing a great selfless service. Keep it up.

However, It will be nice to see these HTC apps work on this distro;

Friendstream (Which you have tried but noted somewhat difficult)

Google Navigation - This seems to restart itself without showing much on the screen after selecting navigate !

All that said, we appreciate you.

Messages FC?

Every time I open the messages app, the MMS service causes it to FC. Anyone else getting this? I don't even use the stock messaging app, but I need to get into its settings to disable notifications so they don't double up when I get a txt.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noki@:
Hey

Well this is the first time I used a VillianRom I was using the Legendroid before, firstly one of the biggest problems with this rom I found is the Gallery 3D, as it gave me lots of FC's, even when I was not even trying to access it.

I would get lots of FC's concerning Gallery 3D, when just playing a game or calling someone. I managed to fix this problem by un-installing the Gallery and putting on a different version. However the Gallery 3D is very slow and loading pictures.

One of the positives of this Rom is the VillianRom updater, however after I install a update, it remains on the list which can be a bit confusing.

Anyway I do like the rom and will stick to it, mostly due to the update feature and the different type of superuser included. Just wished it was a bit faster as there is only a small difference between this and Legendroid so far on speed.

But overall a very good rom. :D

Oh and the new radio is fantastic on picking up a GPS signal, but made no difference to reception. By phone was locked on Orange so had to pay £6.99 to get it unlocked:(

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] moiezomar:
Try this (worked for me): Just download all the updates and choose apply later for all. Use astro file manager or somtething of the like to move the zips from villain updaters directory to the root of your sdcard (just on it, no folders) and then manually reboot to the boot menu. Ull see the zips under flash

Crash errors and more.

I have install this version for 2 days.

1. Bluetooth and Wirelles problems.

I try to pair the phone 4 times with my car kit and only once phone show the car kit device with no success to pair.

In my home network 802.11.n phone does not find the network but in my office 802.11.g it connects to network.

Both issues did not exists with older roms (CronosDroid 1.5.1 and Villain 6.20)

2. Several crashes in different applications (Update manager, Weather etc)

Need to know if anyone else has these problems or maybe i should try to reflash my phone.

Keep trying guys.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
you need to read the instructions about how to use setcpu.

quick summary: in setcpu app, hit menu, choose the only option that comes up, it will read the available speeds from your cpu. voila, problem solved.

setcpu is quite a bit superior to OC widget in it's configurability.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
agreed. those problems don't exist for me, although my new d-link n router at home doesn't really like it when my phone comes out of sleep very much, still it's better now than with any previous rom and work wifi is perfect etc.

Gone and bricked my phone trying to update the radio. My own fault beer and flashing phones dont mix.

Good news is I called Orange and gave them some bull about been having problems with incall volume for a few days and now it wont turn on. They bought it and sending a replacement (phone 3 months old).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shaun442k:
I've had this installed for a couple of days now. All good except for one thing- I keep getting "Unable to start Wifi". It will be fine and connected for hours, then it'll come out of sleep and it won't turn back on.

This happens at work and at home so not just the one router. The only way to restart Wifi is to restart the phone. Really annoying as I don't get great signal at home.

nb, VillainRom 10.0 + latest working UK Orange radio(last but one). I did a full wipe +dalvik+ext.
