[Hero, G2 Touch General] mexan123:
I would have to respectfully disagree. If you follow the instructions and set up the ROM using the information that the developer has given, then FroydVillain outperforms any other ROM that you can download (IMHO of course). But it outperforms them while running at a lower clock speed. For examplee, I used to run FroydVillain/Cronos at 691 or 710, but now I run FroydVillain at 614 or 650, and it runs much faster than any other ROM can at the higher speed.

But if you look at the upstream cyanogenmod kernel, I do note that when you look there, many changes have been contributed by hacre, which suggests that everyone is benefiting from the changes he develops. Perhaps the improvements will filter into mainstream in future?

But surely if you disagree with the claims on speed, you can look at the dozens of users reporting their findings with speed and performance. Or just try it for yourself? You might be surprised if you try it with an open mind. That's how I found out about it, as I used to be an elelinux fan, but the user feedback made me want to try it, and here I am. It's honestly worth a shot, even just to dispell your doubts. But lets not all start bickering here, as that would just be pointless. This is my opinion, that may be yours, we can disagree, but let's agree that they are all better than stock 2.1 :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] :
First I just want to say that I know Froyd will be pretty damn fast if you set it up correctly what I ment was that from what is written (also in other ROM posts) it often sounds like the ROMs makes you Hero so fast it will outrun a Desire so I'm just saying that the developers writes a lot of good stuff but you've got to remember all those things are often only small things (smaller than they sound) :) Also I have tried Froyd and I don't feel the difference between that and Cronos Froyo (just my oppinion) but I picked Cronos because of the community and the fact that I'm number one on the Linpack highscores for Hero with a Cronos ROM hehe :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] djdavis:
Which instructions? I've looked around and i don't see any.

Do you mean the usual, wipe everything, flash, reboot, restore your stuff and reboot?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] btdag:
Instructions in the thread about the release. Nothing really out of the ordinary but some interesting stuff all the same.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
I guess the instructions being referred to are the ones about the overclock kernel and all the governor stuff.

And remember about the minimum speed, as setting it too low might cause sleep lags on wake.

That's the only instructions I can think of, other than to bring your sense of humor with you when reading...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] croques:
That would be a case of 'do what I say' rather than 'do what I do', would it?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] BuzzFuzz:
I was testing last Crosnos 1.2.0 and Froyd 1.5.0 ROM with exactly the same programs, widgets and phone settings (5 screens)... And i have to say (i love froyd rom) but Cronos impressed me like hell.

Cronos:

- smart removed apps

- much better battey life

- no extra apps, themes

- phonebook thumbnail pictures shows faster

Froyd:

- more smoothness phone unlock (screen wakeup)

- a little bit faster gallery viewing

- styled theme? thats not advantage

- more wallpapers? thats not advantage

GPS works on both without problems (at least for me)

MMS, must manualy set in both roms (at least for me)

Thats my point of view, the best way to see what will be your favorite rom is - test both!

I think results are different from person to person.

PS: Damn, i was big froyd fan but now... Crosos 1.2.0 is my fav rom - just phone wakeup...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dale303:
I've had FroydVillain 1.4/1.5 on my Hero for over a week now but had to revert back to the Modaco 2.1 ROM due to several issues, mostly due to my reliance on certain Sense apps (especially the 'people' app) but also due to certain bugs (clock running slowly) and ommisions (font doesn't display Japanese chars, lack of g-sensor calibration).

VillainROM 12 is v.good but as g-sensor calibration doesn't work, it's the Modaco one for now. Pity the Modaco ROM is based on the Asian ROM and not the European one.

I'll be waiting for a Sense version of Froyo unless someone can recommend a contacts app that deals with contact groups well and is reliable at syncing with Facebook.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Hmmm. The clock running slowly is due to your CPU speed being too low in sleep, or non-optimal (for your config) governor in use.

There's a G-sensor workaround for VR12, basically making a shortcut to the intent, detailed at http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/s...ion-in-settings!&p=22288&viewfull=1#post22288
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dale303:
Re FV1.5: I had the feeling the slow clock was due to the CPU clock management and I could probably work out a way to replace the font with a full unicode one but both would be pointless without a decent contacts app that can deal effectively with groups. I'll think I'll have to wait for the Sense version to arrive.

Re VR12: Doesn't work for me. I manage to get to the settings to recalibrate but it doesn't save the data.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] walkinhotdog:
So i used both for about 1 day and a half each, so not thoroughly tested but got a little preview of what 2.2 has to offer. I dont overclock, only underclock

FV-felt lag every once in a while, linkpack of ~4.1MFLOPS, LOTS of nice settings, dont remember speed of screen off/wake up

CF-barely any lag, battery life seemed better but with fly kernal, screen less responsive at ~176 underclock when call comes in, stable at 246, linkpack of ~3.8MFLOPS, less settings available, seems like cleaner install (less apps), sluggish screen off/wake up

Battery life is about the same (slightly worse than 2.1 i think), same amount of free space (163mb), not sure if the faster ui is due to launcher pro or just 2.2 in general, although the difference isnt that much more than 2.1

All in all i liked cronos froyo better (less lag) but ended up flashing back to kimera2.1 cuz: sense is really hard to give up (dont get me wrong i had ALL the replacement apps but they just didnt cut it), stock dialer sucks so bad, kimera wakes up faster, i like trackball notifications for everything (led used for most in 2.2), does not run angry birds or crush the castle any better (still lags the same), 2.2 default apps2sd is nothing to get excited about (our own custom apps2sd method kicks its ass). Oh yea feeyo is much better at answering everyones question than the villainteam (whether back then on this site or now on his own site, my questions are always ignored when i post on VR thread) Going to wait for a 2.2 sense rom instead

I do really like the new sms app in 2.2, love the auto trim message limit and looks
[Hero, G2 Touch General] iRobert:
someone tried cronos 1.2, froyd 1.5, floyo 0.8 and ele 1.9 :-D?

bb.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jamierc:
I've tried cronos 1.2, froyd 1.5 and ele 1.(whatever the latest is).

I rank them in this order

1. cronos

2. froyd

3. ele

Very close between cronos and froyd.

linpack on cronos and froyd both between 4.8 and 5.0, but battery life and general snappiness better on cronos.

The only downside of cronos is the keyboard sometimes feels a bit laggy (swype), that didn't happen with froyd.

[General Questions and Answers] Lello974:
Hello,

i hope this is the right place to ask this question. I got a blackberry from my company and i have a HTC Touch Pro 2. The problem that i have is that all my contacts are stored in the Touch Pro (and sync'ed with MyPhone service) and i would like to have a way to syncronize them with the blackberry (i guess it has the enterprise something). Any advice?

Thank you

Lello
[General Questions and Answers] deedee:
What is your company email platform?

Are you allowed to install Blackberry Desktop Manager/Active Sync?

Personally I have done it this way:

Contacts on HD Mini sync'd to online Exchange account and via OggSync to Google. Was also sync'd via AS to Outlook on PC but not at present.

Google sync installed on BB and linked to same Google account. Also tried Companion Link on works laptop to link with Google but the OTA system was easier to manage.
[General Questions and Answers] Lello974:
I didn't try yet to install Desktop Manager on the BB. I tried to install Google sync on it and it doesn't work. Got a 9700 bold.

Maybe the easiest solution is to use DM/AS on a pc and sync both BB and TP2 there?
[General Questions and Answers] deedee:
Quite probably the easiest.

I didn't do it that way as my corporate email/BB is Lotus Notes and my HD mini is actually connected to mail2web Exchange.
[Desire General] markd66:
Ok, so I have my Desire syncing perfectly with my Exchange 2003 (SP2) server - mail, contacts and calendar. PIN code works fine, everything seems in order.

Except that meeting requests aren't displayed properly when viewed from my Inbox. If someone sends me a meeting request, I can see who it's addressed to and I can see what time it was sent. But I can't see the date, time or location of the meeting unless I accept it and then look at it in my calendar - basically the body of the email is blank.

Can anyone else confirm this behaviour - it's a bit annoying.
[Desire General] Compusearch:
I am having the same issue. This is not just local to Outlook 2003... Outlook 2007/2010 does the same thing.

My Droid X does not have this issue, but HTC and Samsung Mail apps does.
[Desire General] Max BrainBox:
Same here

I had many issues with the built-in Exchange support. But mind you: this is not related to the OS (Froyo) but to the application itself.

I recently installed TouchDown for Exchange - available on Android Market. It is full-featured (mail, contacts, calendar, tasks and much more) but time-limited to 30 days for the free download. It is very powerful and complete and is more like Outlook on your PC. I'm still testing it but the ways it looks now, I won't have a problem shelling out 15€ to get the license.

All the remarks I had before installing this new mail client are solved.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoogWeed:
I'm currently using CronosDroid 2.13 (2.1) and was on Modaco 3.2 (1.5) previously.

Within 10 mins of switching on my phone Taskiller widget reports only 30-35mb of free memory. No problem right? 30mb is more than enough? Wrong. Anytime free memory drops below about 50mb phone gets stupidly sluggish.

I do have 120+ apps installed, but surely you should be able to do that on a platform that has 50,000+ apps available? I know HTC Hero is 1 year old hardware, but hardly obselete.

Is it just me or does Android suck at managing memory? I'm not a dev, but surely memory management is a key part of an OS..? :confused:

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Anyone else have this problem?

It's starting to get annoying having to kill all tasks every 15 mins.... :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
You should make friends with dkelley. He has 160+ apps, and after hacre modified Froyd to work for loads of apps, he stopped getting lags.

Not sure what the fix was though, but I'm sure it still carries through to today...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madsnod:
Hi all,

Not sure if anyone can help.

I am using one of the 2.2 OTA modified roms with busybox and root (nothing more - got the rom from paul at modaco - http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-froyo-pre-rooted-no-hboot-with-radio-deodex/)

By default after installing the rom there was only English (german), English (Switzerland), and others. However there was no English (united kingdom), which is what I wanted.

Originally I installed the locales list from this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=743517&highlight=locales), cleared the Customization Settings Provider data, and after force closing had all of the languages....Great.

However, I noticed that all of the default HTC wallpapers were missing. Odd I thought....I took a look using adb and could see all of the wallpapers in system/customize/resource.

So, I reinstalled the rom again, as I was not sure exactly when the wallpapers had gone missing (applying the locale patch, wiping the data afterwards, etc)...After installing the ROM again I could see all of the wallpapers.

So this time I though I would ONLY clear the Customization Settings Provider data, and force close, without installing the locales list patch first.

I did this and I could again see the English (United Kingdom) language again.

However, again, the HTC wallpaper is missing. And again I can see them in the directory in adb.

Can anyone shed any light on why clearing the Customization Settings Provider data and after force closing, then causes the wallpapers to disappear, even though they are seen in the directory ?

All the wallpaper files are set up with the following permissions:

-rw-r--r--

If I use astro to look at the directory I can see the pictures of the HTC wallpapers.

I am thinking that some cache needs clearing or something. I cannot see, however, what the customization settings provider has to do with the wallpapers !

(PS, I have originally posted this with owner of the thread for the locale zip fix. However, as the second time I did not even use this zip I though it better to put it in a general thread)

Kind regards,

James.

Good Morning,

I had an HTC Desire branded Orange. This came with sat nav program as part of my contract installed on the phone.

After reading your forums I successfully rooted my phone and installed (Leedroid 2.2 Mod ROM).

Everything is fine, but I do have a few questions I would like answering if anyone can help.

1. I have lost my sat nav software on the phone.. is there any way of getting that back?

2. If want to go back to the original orange software on the phone (i.e. start over) could I do this? and how do I do it.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thesweeney:
^^^ very good point.

Plus I would imagine that utilising a 720p resolution is goig to have a major impact on the already mediocre framerate.

IMO theres not much point having 720p recording if its going to be at 5fps.

Hopefully im wrong and it will be silky smooth at 720p :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Shawn_230:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] polo735:
X2 on 720 not being worth it. High resolution video through a crummy lens is just a bad idea. Giant crappy video is still crappy video. Pick up a Kodak Zi8 if you want HD video on the cheap.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hoss_n2:
an extra recording option does not harm any one also
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Shawn_230:
I disagree... yes, the quality will always be worse than a real video camera but the same applies to still images. DSLRs are head and shoulders above the best camera phone, so would you say camera phones might as well have stayed at VGA resolution instead of 5 or 8 MP common these days?

Unless there are framerate issues I'd love HD video capture. Some phones it's not so great, but some are pretty impressive given everything (the Samsung Galaxy S seem to do pretty crisp 720p).

It has become clear that people don't understand the reasons for rooting their phone. The only reason for needing to root your phone is if you'd like to mess around with system functionality which is normally protected.

The exception is firmware changes/updates (via ODIN or update.zip), because those are done before Android is loaded (and before your privileges are taken away). You don't need to root for that.

Very few people need to root and if in doubt try to perform the task first without it. Probably the most common valid reason for rooting, is for backup programs which also back up system settings (because you need privileges to access a lot of those configuration settings
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sturmeh:
I'm pretty sure you invalidate your warranty the second you let ODIN touch your phone.

But if this about restricting control by avoiding root I guess that has nothing to do with it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TeamSancheZz:
You can reverse the rooting, therefore erasing any trace of the phone being modified.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snapper.fishes:
Isn't it better to root your phone in order to install clockwork recovery mod before messing around with it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
There aren't e-fuses or anything... Iif there is no evidence that dodgy firmware caused the issues, the technicians would probably rather spend their time working on fixing it, than wasting time on the phone arguing with a customer.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmpryid:
First of all, I am grateful that the vibrant can play divx encoded video files; I don't think I could live without it. Unfortunately it cannot stream them.

A solution is to start downloading the Avi and then [while its downloading] switch over to the Files application, go to the ".downloadTemp" folder [you need to first enable "hidden files" in the options], and open the incomplete *.avi in the stock video player application. This works wonderfully and i can instantly start watching a video AS IT DOWNLOADS.

UNFORTUNATELY, the video player app will not let me fast forward. Sometimes it lets me rewind, but it mostly takes me back to the very beginning of the video if I even touch the trackbar. And yes, for those who are wondering, the Video WAS sufficiently done downloading to reach the part of the video i wanted to fast forward to. I obviously wasn't trying to forward to the end of the video with only 10% of it downloaded.

I looked in the android market for alternative video players, and the only one that REMOTELY worked was Rockplayer. It would let me fast forward and rewind, except it was really glitchy and full of ads. I prefer just watching it on the perfectly stable stock Player than to use a glitchy one.

So i come to you guys, hoping for a solution. Any Ideas? Are there any other Video Players that i missed that will let me fast forward and rewind incomplete video files as they download?

(Oh, and if you're wondering the source of the videos, i usually just watch divx movies and shows that have been uploaded to megaupload, such as: megaupload.com/?d=T5D3YV8R&w=719&h=349)
