I'm not having any issues with connecting my hero to my pc via usb, if thats what you're talking about. I use win 7 home prem, winxp pro corp, and no connection issues. sd shows up as a drive letter and no prob with adb. this is for both power on and recovery mode
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orangeclanz:
GPS works fine. Locked within 30 sec.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robbo990:
Whats the best Radio to use with this ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] intronauta:
There isn´t option to activate usb/pc connection, or the typical "only charge", Nothing happens when I connect it (led is ok).... the notification bar doesn´t show anything (it works with the rest of notifications ) :S

And... Where's the direct link to 1.3.1 OTA?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ~David:
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/ota/froyd-130-131-patch-signed.zip

And I've uploaded a mirror to MultiUpload: http://www.multiupload.com/4KZGVPPGQJ
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maddog497:
I'm downloading it now from the phone, not sure what you mean about the direct link?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Thanks. You the man!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ~David:
No problem

The OTA updater doesn't seem to like working for some people :\ (me included)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Yeah dunno wtf is up with the updater. Or with this site. Who uglified it?

I'm still chasing down the Tethering bug which I'll resume tomorrow, must sleep now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ghis1:
I got the same problems, however I wipe it all and re-flashed again and now it's running good
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phlash73:
LMAO, You should try it some time... Hurts like hell, but FANTASTIC for the sinus! :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maddog497:
I had the same problem earlier in the week. The OTA wouldn't work on my data (Telus) network but worked no problem on wifi? Not sure if this helps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ~David:
I already tried on both 3G and WiFi, no luck with either unfortunately. With WiFi, I get "Check for updates failed", with 3G I get "Network unreachable".

I posted my debug log a few pages back: http://davidswebserver.com/misc/froyd_ota_log.txt

The error is "java.lang.SecurityException: Permission denied (maybe missing INTERNET permission)", though I have no idea wtf would be causing it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gage_Hero:
I had the same problem take a look on google for ring lag there is a couple of threads with *#61# in them. Also I found that if I remove any "custom" ringtones seemed to help, If dial my phone from a landline it rings on the second ring in the landline and will ring 7 times before going to voicemail....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gage_Hero:
I updated bout 2 hours ago on OTA 3g Telus worked fine chose apply later....not sure that makes a diff though lol
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
firstly, congrats on 1.3.1 being so kick ass! great rom, the first of the froyd roms I've used that exhibits no oddities on first run - maybe I've always had unusual troubles, but normally froyd is the only rom I run where it's slow and unstable for the entire first run - setup, configuration, installation of apps, etc.

This one just worked, like what I get out of my other two favorite froyo roms. nice!

Also has the typical great performance that 1.2.X had, very very cool benchmark numbers :-)

only bugs so far are:

- wifi kicks off frequently then on again after a couple seconds, but it happens irregularly. when it happens it throws off market downloads (they go into pause mode and take a long time to try coming out of pause mode again due to what I'm guessing is a preset 'try again" timer in the market download code. This same issue caused major issues getting the 1.3.1 update to come through - had it quit completely once, other times it paused often, and one the time updater FCd. but I'm used to such things in my line of work (internet application development) and jumped the hurdles just fine and it's @ 1.3.1 now running well.

- boy that led is disconcerting for alerts... but apparently most people agree with me based on the poll in this thread ;-)

- I have troubles with the launcher (lp not adw) not responding after coming out of an app or after coming out of the lock screen. but this isn't new to this version of froyd (seems to be a froyd thing for last few versions I've tried) and is something I've experienced in at least one other froyo rom, but it's worth mentioning anyway. it's annoying but I've learned to work around it by letting it sit for a bit, especially after unlock, since it's impossible to predict when it's going to happen, and trying to use launcher pro when it's unresponsive results in android "unresponsive app" alerts. I'd say it's LP but it happened when I very briefly ran ADW instead. however I didn't setup adw properly (LP still had my full widget setup running in bg) so it could have been the same issue running wtih just an extra front end blocking my view... but if this is a common problem with an unknown cause then it's worth looking into.

cheers - great work - recommending my wife to upgrade to this once I can work out how to get her book reader app to remember the pages she's on in a titanium backup and restore situation...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] desean:
try removing the proxy and proxy port details in your APN. It fixed the problem for me. Somehow, it seems to be related to this issue and the no https surfing on mobile internet issue for some people.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skyfisker:
the 1.3.0 has a problem when connect market using wifi... always show the msg retry...I'v update the 1.3.1 patch and hope it will work..many thanks:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sameh_elhakim:
now i can this ROM not Sucks but this Rom is perfect really prefect Congratulation but please please please please please can you add an Arabic package to this ROM this what i need no more thank you so much
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ~David:
The Android Market is currently down actually (deafening amount of tweets confirms it). It is unrelated to this ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ~David:
I think I've figured it out. And the winner is... *tears envelope, blows* ...a bug with the updater! A complex one at that.

Basically, you have to be on 3G when the updater is started. If you want to use WiFi, you have to switch to WiFi while it's open.

If I run it on 3G, it works. If I then run it on WiFi, it still works. But if I leave WiFi on, close the updater and open it again, it fails. If I turn WiFi off, close the updater and open it again, it works again.

...This is making my brain hurt.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
another annoying problem for me, on 1.2.2 i could use wired tether, it installed the htcrndis driver and created a lan card, but on 1.3 you removed it and even by launching it myself it does nothing :/

the only solution now is to use anetshare?

another thing, looks like my phone crashes with ninpo 2.2 691 mhz kernel now, it was stable on 2.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] odin13:
Hi Hacre,

This rom, again, is really nice!

No problems so far..everything just works :)

Would it be possible to create a @710mhz kernel for Froyd?

My phone can run at 729 but sometimes behaves a bit strange....

A kernel @710 would be just perfect...

( even if its not possible the rom still rocks! )

hoi,

odin
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
since i am very happy with 1.2.2 i have couple of questions before i'm going to update my phone to 1.3.0

I spent many hours to join my facebook contacts with my phone contacts (my phone contact names doesn't match with facebook names so i had to do that manually). is it possible to backup the contacts or do i have to join all contacts with facebook again after updating to 1.3.0?

does the rotation bug on Gallery still exists on 1.3.0
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fongfc:
The LED lights doesn't turn off sometimes.:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Foka002:
My Hero, Thanks!

Love this ROM. Well Done
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] odin13:
hi,

i've got something strange going on here ... my market is acting funny ...

on the first screen it shows no apps and says:

"no matching content in market"

i can browse for some apps though but most apps are missing

i wiped everything and did a clean install but the problem still exists; so i wiped market cache and settings but that doesn't solve it either...

i don't know if its the rom or something else..as far as i can recall i did not have this problem yesterday with this rom ( flashed a couple in a short while :) )

anyone got any ideas?

thnx in advance!

hoi,

odin

*hah damn .. i really just woke up and should have read some earlier posts :$ ... nevermind
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] felix170343:
Well done ! It must be the best 2.2 rom so far.

I flashed the 1.3.1 update first time ,I got 4.668 linpack MFLOPS,but when i reboot the phone ,the MFLOPS decrease to 4.1

My kernel is 19-651,anybody explain this ? Thx.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZeppeMan:
Same issue here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] odin13:
as far as i know linpack scores always fluctuate...

for me at least the scores never are the same and i don't think you should worry about this
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melvie:
Same story here no matching content :'(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
As far as I know,it`s a market problem,not a problem

with the ROM ;)

Now,market is back for me and running!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Market was having trouble in general.

See twitter
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melvie:
Market works again :-)

Wich radio should we use hacre?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] itongz:
Sometime, Gallery show bad graphic when i'm rotate.

gps reboot

I had GPS lock problems on 1.2.2 which are fixed on 1.3 but the first time I used co-pilot and the first time I used gps status the phone rebooted. Both apps were freshly installed from market and not restored by titanium. Seems ok now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mdk001:
Same here,so far

I'll try rebooting and see if it helps

Nope,even rebooting with GPS off and then turning it on didn't help

Hopefully this gets fixed by tomorrow night,else I'll have to restore my Superhero 2 NAND to go to work on monday
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] odin13:
flash your radio again...that usually fixes problems like this
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mdk001:
Got a link to the radio?I've long deleted the .zip file...

Nevermind,there was a topic for those

And it didn't help,now it only sees a single satellite,which is similar to the old villain's problem
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] veef13:
many thanks again villain team for a cracking rom!

maybe market related, maybe not, but i cant download copilot... every other market app is fine, but it just sits on downloading then eventually times out and FC market :(

anyone else with this issue?

apart from this, fantastic rom!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jeremy89632:
Wow! Im featured! HAHA :)

By the way, our team just released an OTA update! Get it on 'VillainROM Updater'

- Fixed HSDPA icon

- Fixed Google Frameworks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] radine:
Is this update 1.3.1? I installed it last night. I cant find any newer ota updates except the 2.2 kernels.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Big_Noid:
Of all the villainroms I tried, this is the first one I didn't immediately uninstall. Battery life sucks, but that's on all froyo roms. Good job!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Haizum74:
Ooooh, *****-aaayyy

Cheers for the Vlingo app (not updated yet just downloaded from Market Place) hadnt heard of that one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stormfury_2:
I've only just got back to sunny old England and I find myself installing a new Froyd again - You guys are quick, real quick. Brilliant!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] veef13:
update on my market issue... been sat downloading copilot for 30 odd mins now... and nothing transferred :( clicking cancel caused FC on market app. which them auto restarts to the same issue... just says downloading... hmm

all other apps are fine, just copilot

EDIT: reflashed ROM and all is well :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
that could explain why wired tether for root users doesn't create its lan card :D

nice, fast, very good ROM

but I can not use Market. I restarted the device, turned wifi on-off, and I could use the browser, so internet works, but not the Market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orangeclanz:
Market works fine here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robbo990:
Tried reflashing - complete wipe of everything

Left my phone on the window sill last night with GPS on and finally fixed on after 2 hours.

Tried again this morning and it took well over an hour to get a fix.

*Fixed* Working now - flashed the default clock (614) locked on in about a minute.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] embrion:
WTF is with this GPS locking issue? I've flashed 1.3.0 with same clocking kernel as 1.2.1 and cannot get lock again. If it starts to work with default kernel, then that would be strange, don't you all think? Well, at least if kernels only differ in OC tables
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] johanan96:
Everytime i charge my phone then unplugg the orange light thats for charging is always on. I have to reboot all the time for the light to turn off. Anyone can help me with this problem?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
Oh one more thing

Unlike with froyd 1.2, now in 1.3.x I can run @ 691 just fine without video preview glitching! Froyd was the only rom I ever experienced that problem with.... And I'm very happy it's not doing bizarre things on my phone now with the new kernel.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ShiDi:
I got random freeze sometimes & it reboots itself. Flashed with OC 691 & Galaxy S theme. Also the video recording seems ok but when preview it hangs at about 20++ secs and prompt " Sorry, this video cannot be played" :\
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] androcheck:
Hi there!

You can turn off the led by running these commands:

echo "0" > /sys/class/leds/amber/brightness
echo "0" > /sys/class/leds/green/brightness

If you have "GScript" or "GScript Lite" installed, you can do this by simply running the attached script. Unzip the script and place it on your SD card into the folder "gscript".

Hope this quick workaround may help some of you.

Kind regards! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] greatdain:
GPS

My GPS also stopped working after flashing 1.3.1 this morning. I then did a full wipe and repartition, reflashed and still no GPS lock. I followed the instructions here in the 1.2.2 thread (513) about 'adb pull /system/etc/gps.conf' (sorry the forum wont allow me to post the actual link) and all is now working again. Takes a while to lock (2 mins) but seems to work fine.

Great rom by the way, thanks again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pwningteddybear:
whooaa looks very nice, too bad the download link doesn't work for me. Can someone please post another download link?:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] newdecember:
hey guys, i've been looking for the answer to this question for days now

how do i remove apps that came with the rom? for example launcher pro

still a bit of a noob with android so i apologise if my question has been answered before...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dingberry:
first of, thanks for the great work.

so far so good, only few minor odd issues

1 is I wasn't able to install certain types of apk files like Launcher Pro, I assume it has something to do that LP as one of the initial signed apks. (I had no problem installing it in different 2.2 roms)

2 is some software would just gone disappear. poof, like David Copperfield. Well, to be precise is I couldn't find it from adding widget screen, but can still find the software from menu

Other than that it looks great
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
It's mentioned several times the last few pages by other people.

You can either use ADB or i.e Root Explorer.

ADB:

Reboot to recovery

adb shell

mount -a

cd system/app

rm filename.apk

Replace filename.apk with whatever apk you want removed. It's key sensitive I'm told. Haven't tried myself yet. Should be gone when you reboot.

Root Explorer:

Mount system/app as r/w and remove the apk. Then reboot.

Haven't tried this myself since my phone's in for repair, so correct me if I'm wrong :)

Notifications

Ninpo - The Poll says it all - please change the notifications back so that only the trackball flashes - it was soooo much better that way.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ~David:
I'm having issues with GPS as well unfortunately :(

Like I posted in the 1.2.x thread, it was working really well, I could get a lock on every satellite in seconds.

But with 1.3, I've had GPS Status running for 5 minutes and I still only have a 4/11 lock, and it took about 2 minutes before it locked on to that many.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] guy_in_99:
Is it me or did 1.3.0 break the network search? I'm getting the "Error while searching for network" problem again. It was fine on 1.2.2.

I tried 1.3.0, had the problem. Performed the OTA update to 1.3.1, and unfortunately the problem persists.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
The rotation bug is still sort of there, yes. Use titanium backup to backup everything it should give an individual restore option for contact details.

Yeah seems the GPS stuff was more cocked up than I even began to realise. Apparently someone upstream of me stopped the build from building librpc against libgps, which is rather silly, since librpc is quite crucial for GPS.

There will be another full rom coming with this stuff finally fixed either today or tomorrow so keep your backups current guys.

Sorry for yet another wipe requirement. I do appreciate the bug reports though. :)

EDIT: OP updated, poll results recognised.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] winston6969:
Thanks for the ROM again

Does removing any unwanted apps using titanium backup remove them completely or am i better using root explorer?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ~David:
Sounds good :)

Will be nice to have the jogball again as well, I find it much easier to notice than the LEDs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] newdecember:

I'm happy to see others have discovered the amazing vlingo app.

I was recommending it in my signature on the VR forums ever since VR12 came out and just removed it from my sig a couple weeks back. It's truly an incredible app and easily pushes android over the competition in voice control.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
awww crap, that's too bad Hacre. Sorry to hear that.

Hopefully that will be the last major build issue you have to deal with for a while...

I think everyone would rather see you get the chance to work on improvements instead of fix other developers' unexpected changes. I HATE it when that happens in my work's cvs tree...

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tankus:
Calls going straight to voicemail

Disclaimer: I am a total noob, but I follow instructions well :)

I searched but did not find a resolution to this problem. Some (many) of my calls are going straight to voice-mail without my phone even ringing. It'll ring once or twice on the callers end, then my voice-mail will pick up. It happens whether the phone's screen is awake or sleeping.

This has only started happening with 1.3 (to my knowledge).

is there any way to tell if it's an issue with the ROM or maybe something else (an issue with my carrier maybe, or a setting that I inadvertently engaged)?

Any fix? anything I should double check? any suggestions

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gage_Hero:
Hi Tankas

Google *#61# you have to increase the time to voicemail with the instructions posted under that thread. I'm on Telus too and the phone is set to 20 seconds I think, I put mine to 30 think that is the max. I also ditched my custom ringtones, mine rings twice on the other end before the phone actually rings then I get 5 more rings before it goes to voice mail now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
THIS IS AMAZING. I've never been aware of this and am on Telus also.

thank you - this should go into some kind of database of brilliant and vital hints for android users.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phlash73:
+1 ^^^

I agree! this is pretty handy! Thanks much Gage! :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JvIo55iBl3r:
Had trying TweetDeck for a few days, but i notice it kinda drain battery faster w/o running it. I dont know if it's just my case, or some one met the similar issues. During my work time(meaning, no internet/texting/phone or any other big use), w/o TweetDeck running, the battery decreased like 3%~5% in 90mins (ish), but w/ tweetDeck on, it's easy to be or above 10%.

really like tweetdeck, but hope there is some solution for it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
It's just pulling data at a set interval. The default setting is pretty aggressive too -- something like every 3 minutes. If you have a lot of contacts, a lot of updates, or worse, a combination of both, it'll be pulling a lot of data very frequently. I just set it at once every hour and just update it manually when I need to.

That said, it would be pretty cool if they could integrate Froyo's push updates for mentions/direct messages and polling for everything else.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ajones7279:
The default is every 3 minutes so yea...you're gonna experience some drain. That would be the same for any app polling that much. Change the refresh interval to a higher number...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JvIo55iBl3r:
I might take another try by setting like 1 hour to see how it goes. but appreciate it, guys. Hope there is some widget for that come up soon.
