Hi Guys

I've been using villainroms for a few months and I'd just like to say what an excellent job has been done.

So far I've never accepted the google's terms for using the wireless network location service as I'm not sure that I appreciate what the term imply about my privacy.

Have any lengths been taken in the rom to remove some of Google's information gathering abilities? and if so what are they?

Thanks for your time guy's and keep up the good work!

Menu ~ settings ~ applications ~ manage applications ~ then either 'HTC Sense' or 'Nexus Launcher' (whichever you have set as default) and press 'Clear Defaults'. Then when you press 'Home' you'll have the choice.

Hmmm. Using 10.3 for a couple of days I've found that my battery life is about half that of 10.2. I've also had a couple of complete freezes requiring battery pull, and the data connection struggles occasionally when roaming (presumably not the ROM, but the phone seems not to be able to find the partner network). I've gone back to 10.2 which, so far, is the best for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Which kernel?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] butterbeanmash:
Forgot to check before restoring! I assume it was whichever came as default with the 10.3 update. Current with 10.2 is the 2.6.29_grrr@ben kendon@nx#39. I'm still using the older radio ...6.35.09.26.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
If you didn't change it, then it would be that same kernel.

Odd. Can you try and provide some logcats for next time?

Great Rom but a few problems?!?!

Ok i am new to this, but this ROM is great and most things work perfectly. However i have encountered these problems with 10.3.

-Google sync with my google mail account isnt working

-Cant download from market, just says starting download (really annoying)

-Live wallpapers do not apply

Apart from these things its great, but has anyone got any suggestions to fix the three problems? Anyone else experiancing them?

Thanks

None of your problems presist in my Hero after flashing 10.3 from 10.2, wiped dalvic, all apps remaind, just one question, google Navigator Force closes whatever button i touch inside of it, any suggestions ?:) Super mega gratefull for this rom otherwise :)

Question

Should i still install the OTA No Winin BF kernel after flashing 10.3 , or is it included in 10.3 by default, thx :)

Make sure you're running the latest Google Maps from market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shaun442k:
This ROM STILL has an issue with Wifi. Its not just me with this problem either. It wasn't a problem in 6.x.x builds.

I have performed a full wipe, logcats have been posted on VillainRom, and still no fixes.

The Wifi will work ok for a while, then when coming out of sleep, the Wifi will not restart.

If you try to start it, it just says "Unable to start Wifi." The only way to get round this is restart the phone. Which I am having to do 10-15 times a day as I have a bad GSM connection.

Really frustrating on an otherwise good ROM.

No problems with wi-fi for me, i think u should restore the version in wich wi-fi worked, install program from the market called APN backup and restore, its free, backup APNS, then flash to 10.3, isntall APN backup and restore there, and restore apns, cuz mine wifi works just fine ;]

Hi All,

Did flash the 10.3 rom and did a full wipe on anything. Install was ok.

But have lot of problems with connecting to market.

Does someone also have problems to use the markter by data or wifi?

Only what will solve this for a while is reboot the phone...

Didn't work for me. VillainROM 10 works perfectly for me using the previous radio "63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26" on Orange UK Hero with Orange SIM. However when I flash the latest radio "63.18.55.06OU_6.35.15.01" I get "SIM network locked" message.

Reverting back to VillainROM 6.2 but leaving the new radio on results in the same problem, so appears to be related to the radio version not the ROM version.

Can any of the Dev's shed some light on why the new radio doesn't recognise my official Orange UK SIM as an Orange SIM?

PS. To all the VillainROM team, fantastic work over the last 6 months, providing us with some brilliant roms, and really showing up HTC :)

Thankyou very much
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ProfessorAsian:
So this kernel is custom eh. Is it based on the official one or from dubious sources? It seems pretty damn fast. I've tried a few 2.1 roms based on the official rom. This one seems to be the best featured ( no Taiwanese keyboard messing with me) and includes voice dictation.

I am not sure if it is just me, but the weather animations seem kinda choppy and slower than other competing roms. Not sure if others optimized the animations and videos. Overall great work, will probably stick to it!

The keyboard does not seem very performant, I can type quite a bit faster than what it keeps up with :(

I think Nav Launcher has been removed by google from the market. In any case, I found that this version here is a lot better. It's just like the original Google Maps but with built-in Brut without the need for Nav Launcher. It also has the capability to enable hidden features within Google Maps.

Hey people, been getting the bootloop problem on 10.2 and 10.3, after the status bar fills at the bottom of the white HTC screen the same screen will come up again and the writing will also come up again, this will continue happening every 30 secs or so. I have the lastest radio btw :). If anyone has a fix please share? :D

well, I have to say: perfect.

I updated from 10.2 to 10.3 without wipe (though I had to clear the HTC sense data) and it runs without problems.

hi there,

i did flash 10.3 with full wipe. after restart, i tried to apply the 10.3.1 updater update, but can't access servers. then i flashed the existed VillainRomUpdater1.1.0-signed.zip which is saved on SD. restarting... and i found the now the firmware version changed to 7.2.2, instead of 7.3.x. (this could be the reason for the same situation mentioned in some previous posts)

now the question where to download the right update VillainRom10.3-VillainRomUpdater1.1.0-signed.zip for me to reflash, as the updater never check it out now. anyone can send a link for this update? thanks in advance.

If you don't have an active data connection that is to say you can access the internet on your hero, then the gps will not connect with this setting enabled.. For some STUPID reason the hero uses location via wireless networks as primary over gps. Flippin stupid but hey thats the way it is...

are you sure they are on the sd card??? everytime I reflash a new version all my apps are moved back to phone memory... I have to apply the apps2sd fix to sort it out give it a try.. You can find a link to thge fix in an earlier post.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Currently VillainROM doesn't use dalvik2cache or dalvik2sd. We're discussing whether this should be changed.

People not using apps2sd in the current version might well run into stability issues as storage space gets low.

To the people having various wifi/GPS issues, which radio version are you running? If you're on the latest OU_6.35.15.01 can you try downgrading? The radio should be the only thing affecting those particular issues.

There is also a bug where if you flash a new radio with GPS turned off, it causes major problems. Make sure GPS is turned ON when you flash a radio image.

3d Livewallpapers don't work too well on the Hero as it doesn't have proper 3d support.

For google maps, if you are able to, update it via the market, otherwise run the VillainROM updater, update to 10.3.1 then grab the streetview+maps fix.

when first time flashed 10.2 it was 95 MB & Day by day it was <<<< So, :( than i cleared dalvik cache & flashed dalvik 2cache and its now 151 MB :)

hey guys

im using Ninpo's no-bfs experimental kernel on 10.3, and overclock widget. what are the best settings with overclock? im thinking in terms of battery life and performance, i've fiddled with it but dont feel i'm getting anywhere with it

i know some of you use setcpu but I can find any settings for this either, if you know any i'd happily switch, help is appreciated!

thanks

JT and my hero :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Well first off I'd get setCPU from here, or get it from the market and donate.

To start with, I'd set your frequencies to 352-691 and make sure that's stable. When you run setCPU for the first time, drop the slider for the max speed IMMEDIATELY, as that kernel allows speeds over 800MHz and setCPU defaults to minimum and maximum frequencies in the table.

Once you're confident the phone is stable at 352-691 you can experiment with higher settings. ONLY WHEN YOU ARE SURE it is stable, check the Apply on Boot check box.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tildesley:
thanks, will the 352 apply when the screen is off?

the way overclock is running it now, 691 is a constant with screen on, and it drops to 172 with the screen off. with the 691 constant, battery is getting hit.

will setcpu increase the power automatically immediately or does it take a few seconds to kick in?

sorry for the questions :o

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Diamond Geezer:
USB connections

Updated to 10.3.1 and now I can not connect to my pc via usb in any mode (disk drive, htc sync or internet connection sharing). Windows 7 (32 bit) has started saying "device not recognised". It was working fine before. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling htc sync 2.033 (and hence the drivers). Tried updating driver and pointing it to the htc driver folder it puts under c:\program files/htc/htc driver. Windows just says the driver is up to date even though it calls it an "unrecognised device".

It is the same on my other laptop where it worked fine before as well so I don't think it's a windows driver error. I'm running windows 7 starter (32 bit) on an MSI U130 netbook but like I say it's been fine for a while.
