yeah seems fine, before you push make /system writable with "adb remount" , and never forget to backup before playing around ;).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ~David:
Glad it's locking faster :) 1 min still seems a bit longer than usual though.

I'd recommend updating to the latest radio personally, 6.35.08.22 is pretty old.

Here's the download link to 6.35.15.14 (latest) if you're interested: http://www.multiupload.com/7CP56WVE2L

*poke*

Work faster!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phlash73:
Ya, I tried 15.14 for a while with 1.1.9 and 1.2.0 but I was getting that weird signal flux thingy where my signal just dropped to 0 and back for no apparent reason. doesn't seem to happen with 08.22 tho
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
yea 08.22 rocks as a radio for some people.

I'm using an old radio (for telus) and NEVER have trouble with gps except for the occasional post-rom-flash requirement of rebooting with gps enabled and then running gps status for a minute. we all know about that fix and it seems like a hero hardware thing since it's in 2.1 roms and 2.2 roms and only sporadic.

FYI I've seen no evidence that the age of your flashed radio makes any difference to sound quality etc, what matters is how it works on your particular phone and with your particular network in your particular geography. I'm certain there are bug fixes and better features in later versions, but the latest versions are inferior on my phone to the one I use now which is months old.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Noppes123:
Just installed the 'missing' CM settings apps. Works like a charm.

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Noppes123:
Will give it a try, although my Hero was either built on Monday morning long before the first coffee break, or Friday afternoon just before the weekend started :(. I can not reliably underclock below 352 or overclock above 691, as I figured out when I was testing different kernels for FV 1.2.0
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phlash73:
I agree. I've tried all the released radios at some point or another and always seem to come back to 08.22 as it seems to work best for me. If I have to wait a min for GPS to lock, it's no biggie.. Still faster than my Garmin eTrex :p

On another note, it will be intereasting to see what radio will be released if TELUS ever gets off their collective asses and releases Eclair for the hero... :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I don't mean to overclock like crazy. I'm running a 653 top speed kernel because froyd won't run faster reliably on my phone without video hiccups. I don't have that issue with any other rom - but whatever.

just choose a different kernel other than stock, doesn't have to go fast :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ~David:
I'm not holding my breath. "early Q4" now, apparently.

problems with MMS

my MMS (orange UK) is not downloading MMS messages -ive searched the thread but cant see any mention of this - anyone else got this problem
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bugeyes:
cant say i get enough mms messages to notice! ;)

sorry not very constructive! :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phlash73:
ok, so after a wipe and fresh install, I'm still getting fc on Google Services Framework (com.google.process.gapps)seems to only happen when I sync my google calendar, but every time I sync it. If this is a framework bug that you think will be sorted out in 1.3.0, then I'm happy to wait and try it then.

I captured the log in .csv errors only. let me know if you need more detail (e.g. verbose) or in text or something

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phlash73:
:confused: Why am I not surprised... So, now I'm guessing that it will be out for the Hero's 1yr launch anniversary? :p

Thank the Lord that we dont have to rely on them for our SW releases, thanks to the hard working devs around here! :D

Gonna stop ranting about Telus now... sorry for Hijacking the thread..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saj222:
I've been using 15.14 for a while now and have had just about enough of the dropping to 0 and then back to where it was. Glad to see that 08.22 works great for other Telus users... I'm switching back too. :)

Side note: I've never had GPS locking issues with 08.22, 15.14 or any other radio.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saj222:
That's probably when the "'number of Desires sold counter" hits whatever number marketing came up with. :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gage_Hero:
Anyone have a way to change the lock screen wallpaper? I know this option was available in one of the roms I used in the past but I don't know which one....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
The attached file should fix this FC, just adb push it to /system/app.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
hey Homer,

is this something we should all push? I haven't had this particular trouble, but if it fixes a potential problem then it should be sort of an OTA bugfix type of thing, no?

or is it just that some people have strange calendar data that this solution will fix?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phlash73:
Thanks Homer, ill try it when I get home

EDIT: just pushed it to /system/app and it works great! Thanks so much Homer, especially for the quick response. What was the problem anyway?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phlash73:
@dkelley,

This is OT but as I've noticed that you use tapatalk, do you happen to know if there's anyway to get attachments using XDA APP or tapatalk pro? I went over there and scanned thru their forums, but didn't see much about downloading file attachments, only uploading of pic attachments. It would make my life a bit easier than using this tiny remore desktop to hit my box at home, then email/ftp the file to myself lol
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] citydog5:
Jorte on 1.2.2

Edit: This is an app issue. Will follow-up w/ app developer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] t3ns41:
Just installed FroydVillain last night and i found that my stock messaging app keeps on FC-ing when the phone boots and also when i try to send out messages. And also, I am not receiving any incoming messages. Tried using chompSMS, it didn't FC but i am still not receiving any incoming text messages. Did i do anything wrong? I did a full wipe before flasing and all.

thanks, love your roms :)

Contacts issue with black list.

This ROM is amazing..

But I got a problem here, a phone number was pushed into the black list by myself, but I could not found any way to get it out.

Please help me.. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jessgade:
Got the same problem!

(3/Oister Denmark)

If I use the native sms program a process is crashing - Reverted to villain12 so I cant give the exact name of it.

In chompSMS there is only a Download button in the message but pressing it does nothing.

Same problem here. MMS does not work with the same APN settings that worked on VillainROM12. Have not been able to get it to work on Froyo.

carrier : Siminn - Iceland.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] captainstu72:
robbo990, cooper104.

You guys just saved me phoning Orange - I thought I fubard something on my phone! Been sat here all morning flashing all my nandroid backups to see if I could isolate any issues - came to the conclusions it may be orange when i flashed back my Orange Stock 2.1 rom and had the same issue :(

Thanks :)

Back to Froyd now!.... oh, and maybe some work.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] androcheck:
You can influence this behaviour in the CyanogenMod Settings (cmsettings - search the thread for install-howto).

You find the setting under "User interface" -> "Reflow under pinch in" (under the section "Webview").

If you check this option the text in the browser will reflow immediately after every pinch-zoom action.

Hope that helps.. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cooper104:
yes, i was ready to reflash too... thank goodness for google (and work supplying me an internet connection)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HomerSp:
It's a bug that Google introduced, they didn't check if a string was null before passing it to a function which doesn't like that the string is null.

Wouldn't hurt to flash it if you don't have this problem, but you might as well wait for the next version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] embrion:
There's definitely a bug with signal strength reporting.

Sometimes ppl reported about getting zero bars. My Hero also displays that from time to time (and -109dBm, or 0dBm) but I could check stuff with SSD codes instantly so there was connection with carrier.

Radio 63.18.55.06PH_6.35.15.14, I'll later check with recommended older 08.22.

This might not be a big deal but I don't know if OS doesn't also read this as poor signal and rise TX power resulting in bigger SAR (I don't care) and bigger battery consumption (I do care)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
is there an easy way to join a facebook contact with phone contact. On sense there was a nice link button in each contact. In AOSP ROMS it seems a bit of a faff to go to contact, edit, join etc..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robbo990:
There is an app in the market called SyncMyPics - I think this should do what ur looking for.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] desean:
to side-track a little as there were topics on villainrom.co.uk before it went down...

For users who have (1) issues browsing https website on mobile internet and (2) market issues downloading/updating paid apps on mobile internet, try to remove the proxy settings in your APN. Doing so solves the issue for me. Found the solution here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
Thanks,

Also, not sure if its a bug in this ROM or Google sillyness, but when I synced my phone contacts with Google contacts it saved all the names as surnames?? even though on Google they are saved as first names. Anyone else notice this?

EDIT: my apologies. it appears my google contact names are all surnames indeed. It mustve been Sense that synced the contact names incorrectly then!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] josephdebono:
Hi guys!

Is it at all possible to upgrade to the new 2.2 Calendar on this rom? What about the newly released GMail?

Thanks!

this would be nice
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] slimjimwoods:
did anyone see my question about adding cyanogenmod settings without a theme?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xavier2k3:
Thanks for the heads up, was just looking on the net to find out whether there were issues. Still on VR12 myself. 3G issues seem to have just got fixed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
I've been hunting for an MDPI version of the new GAPPS but as of yet have been unsuccessful, and I have no idea where to start with porting it myself...

EDIT: New GAPPS!! Not sure about the calendar cause I'm not sure what changed, but this contains the new GMail, really nice feature update.

it's slightly to big to upload here, but you can get it from you friendly neighborhood Cyanogen! Just scroll to the bottom, and pick the one Cyanogen Mod 6 MDPI

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version

EDIT 2: for anyone that cares, the SuperUser app has been updated as well. It is now available from the market so as a request for the next version, could we have Chrome2Phone and superuser up-datable via the market?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] josephdebono:
Awesome stuff! Thanks! Does that require the Cyanogen ROM though or will it work with this version of Froydvillain?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
I've flashed it on Froyd 1.2.2 and it works like a charm. just out of curiosity, what was changed in the calendar?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
What is different to what we already had?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] josephdebono:
Haha! I'm not even quite sure but I remember seeing it on the Nexus One and it was visually different. I dunno, I guess I just want to keep up with the times :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
The only difference I know of is that GMail has a cool new feature where the header of the email snaps to the top of the screen (if you try it on you phone now, you will see the header disappears when you scroll down). It also contains a button for easy access to the reply / forward controls. There is also some nice text highlighting features too

http://phandroid.com/2010/08/18/updates-to-gmail-brings-floating-controls-and-text-selection/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ~David:
Yeeees! You can finally select text in emails! Holy crap, it's amazing it's taken this long to implement that.

I second the motion to include these updated GApps and the new Superuser 2.3 in 1.3.1 :) (or 1.3 if you're up for it :p)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Noppes123:
Still having GPS fix problems with FV 1.2.2. The default kernel simply doesn't get a fix in GMaps, even after an hour, and the 352-691 kernel just reboots when starting GMaps. :(

I really don't want to go back to 1.2.0 or 1.2.1, so I'm open for suggestions.

BTW: I also tried changing the gps.conf file without any luck.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ShiDi:
Awsome ROM.. i kinda flashed it over a few times vs the FROYO_2.2_elelinux_v1.4 and i still prefer this ROM!! KUDOSSS!!!

& Yeah OC kernel for me just stuck at nindroid-v2.1-19-691-release-signed... anything above it and it stuck at boot screen... lol

had it too - I never sms but in an emergency had too... guess what? borked.

not running this right now (back to my old flashing habit today) but still excited to see 1.3...

strange how the website is down with template errors now. seems like a whole rebuild is in process - but after the domain went down... bit of an oops there somewhere...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Haizum74:
After an initial crash and reboot I got gps working with maps and a lock on yesterday after 13 secs and today 30. So, it works fine for me although I havent actually tried sat nav since saturday and it kept fc'ing back to main screen,
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ~David:
1. Install and run "GPS Status" (free in the Market)

2. Set your phone down near a window (or better yet, outside)

How long does it take to lock?

Curious to see if I did anything special that might have tinkered with my GPS, I just completely wiped my phone and tested GPS again. It works perfectly still.

I opened Google Maps and it had a 60 meter lock before the map even finished loading (literally). GPS Status had a 9/9 lock within 10 seconds.

Either my Hero is the long-lost offspring of Superman or you guys just aren't giving the GPS a chance lol
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bugeyes:

No 1.3 tho.............:confused:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bugeyes:
I'd wait for 1.3 Hacre was testing last night so not far off
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Noppes123:
OK. This is weird! I flashed different kernels and now I'm back to the default kernel...and GPS gets a fix in less than a minute with GPS Status... :confused::D

One other thing I changed was GApps...?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Just an update guys. The site is up, but using an old-ish backup, so there's no Froyd stuff really. Give us time, as we might be able to restore newer backups, but nothing's certain just now.

Sorry about the inconvenience folks. Don't bother registering again on the site for now. Also, anyone with extra user rights will have lost them if they got them after 10 July.

Again, don't panic, we'll update the status message on the site when there's more info.

Exchange Email wont compose

Anyone else had this issue?

Exchange Email force closes when hitting reply and does nothing when hitting Compose to write an email from scratch.

I'm on 1.2.2 and I'm sure it worked in previous versions
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] daveshouse:
Something has definitely changed since 1.1.1 which affects

Exchange. I have reverted to this version for now, as I cannot find a way to get Exchange mail working on 1.1.9 onwards and HTC Sync is not an option without sense.

I get a force close when actually adding the exchange account (exchange 2003). It may be because it is a self-signed certificate. I don't know for sure because nobody else has commented on this exact issue, presumably because something about my situation is quite rare.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
Been running it for a couple of days now (you were lucky I haven't found time to flash anything yet the couple of days, hehe) but ui is really smooth.

However I don't really like this interactive governor in sleep mode. Yes ofc it is great it increases cpu speed when it needs it, but why should I care if a process is completed in 10 sec or in 5 sec when I don't use the darn thing? (numbers ofc fictional). If it is finnished, it'll go in an idle loop anyway.

I think I will stick to my userspace gov. at first. This way I just got full control of things, hehe ;)

Anyway ui is really slick.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Fair comment. Some people say that they don't like interactive, but personally, I like it, as the interactive keeps it high speed, gets task done, gets load reduced, and saves more switching cycles. I am sure ninpo can come here and lecture us all on how it works, but I am preferring it for battery just now.

19-691 just now btw, as i felt 729 was a touch unstable at high temps in the sun...

Freezing Phone

Heya

FroyodVillain is the best rom i used so far. :)

But since im running on FroydVillain 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 i have an issue with a randomly freezing phone. Any process is using the full CPU and all other thasks become so less time that they all show a no reaction message after some seconds. This happens randomly while the phone is active or in musicplayer.

While the phone is in freeze every action uses 30+ seconds.

Is there any possibility to lookup which process uses that much CPU?

Greets
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmm. Use the "top" command inside adb shell.

@everyone. The OTA updater is enabled again, so you can update to 1.2.2 if you want. Sorry about the wait.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skyfisker:
the update works again, thanks pulser:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Haizum74:
Any got a working link for the rom and 19-691 kernel as I have been playing about and forgot to back up (oooooopppppsss) and now cant boot up lol.

Good to hear it :)

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BuzzFuzz:
+1 freeze. I think after wifi comes freezing. Sure, all sync are OFF!

And one more thing, Launcher FC alert. Im not sure if is coz of WidgetLocker or coz of 1.2.2 update. Must uninstall Locker and we will see.

Eclair to Froyo com.android.mms

Hopefully this will be helpful to others restoring their SMS/MMS data from a 2.1 ROM.

com.android.mms kept force closing when opening the default messaging app, so I ran logcat and noticed the following part

I/Database( 922): sqlite returned: error code = 1, msg = no such column: error_code
I/dalvikvm( 922): Jit: resizing JitTable from 512 to 1024
E/DatabaseUtils( 922): Writing exception to parcel
E/DatabaseUtils( 922): android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: no such column: error_code: , while compiling: SELECT transport_type, _id, thread_id, address, body, date, read, type, status, locked, error_code, sub, sub_cs, date, read, m_type, msg_box, d_rpt, rr, err_type, locked FROM (SELECT DISTINCT date * 1 AS normalized_date, 'sms' AS transport_type, _id, thread_id, address, body, date, read, type, status, locked, error_code, NULL AS sub, NULL AS sub_cs, date, read, NULL AS m_type, NULL AS msg_box, NULL AS d_rpt, NULL AS rr, NULL AS err_type, locked FROM sms WHERE (thread_id = 15 AND (type != 3)) UNION SELECT DISTINCT date * 1000 AS normalized_date, 'mms' AS transport_type, pdu._id, thread_id, NULL AS address, NULL AS body, date, read, NULL AS type, NULL AS status, locked, NULL AS error_code, sub, sub_cs, date, read, m_type, msg_box, d_rpt, rr, err_type, locked FROM pdu LEFT JOIN pending_msgs ON pdu._id = pending_msgs.msg_id WHERE (thread_id = 15 AND msg_box != 3 AND (msg_box != 3 AND (m_type = 128 OR m_type = 132 OR m_type = 130))) ORDER BY normalized_date ASC)

I guessed it meant that the sms table in the mmssms.db was missing a column named error_code.

After I ran adb shell

cd /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases
sqlite3 mmssms.db "ALTER TABLE sms ADD COLUMN error_code INTEGER DEFAULT 0;"

I've now been able to use the default app without that force close.

Any one got flash 10.1 working on this ROM, if so - How???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
is there a fix for the rotation bug on 3d gallery?

and is there any trick to get it to work smoother, it's very slow at least on my phone :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] krispijn_s:
This will never happen. Flash 10.1 requires an ARM v7 type of processor. Our Hero does not have it, therefore it'll never happen (same with google earth).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Haizum74:
Thats a bit of a myth actually, There is a version of 10.1 floating about thats been modded for 2.1 Roms, I tried it, it worked. Not sure if I can link to it as it has cracked apps on the site. But, seeing as this is about 2.2 I guess there is no need to. Google it dude.

EDIT - In fact when I first flashed 2.2 I installed the 10.1 apk and forgot it was modded for 2.1 and kept getting booted out of internet app, deleted and sorted. I dont see why it couldnt be modded. Unfortunately the last time I did any sort of programming was way back on the ZX Spectrum lol
