Cheers for that.

Hey am not knocking it at all. Just comparing it with the previous Roms. HOWEVER I am going to reinstall and do a full wipe. That may just sort out the problems

hello, this is really an excellent rom!!! :)

but i have some problems with the german keyboard language.

instead i changed the system-/keyboard-/.....-language into german, i'm getting english suggestions while writing messages.

before installing this rom i did a full wipe.

does somebody know how to fix this?

It'a a Sense thingy, I assume it can't be ported to vanilla.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
Guys any solution would be helpful.. this is the 3rd time my phone freezed completely :( .. I don't find any solution if someone knows :)

Doesn't anyone have issues with video? I cannot watch Video anymore, it is sub 3fps and sometimes the images freezes alltogether. I have the same files I watched with 1.2.1 on my sd-card. It's a litle disapointing.

I am considering reverting back.

I tried different players, including double twist; also some in-app video isn't smooth either.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] prinzipal:
Im still have issues with gapps force closes. Nobody else with this problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
Now i 've changed it to Minimum Frequency - 123 Mhz , Maximum Frequency - 352 Mhz

later i will post results Thanks though .. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] taknil:
I think this is a launcher pro related issue. Try getting an update from the market for that, also try out another launcher perhaps ( AWD ?)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
Hello, i was having freezing issues as well . today i have put minimum 123 Mhz & Maximum 352 Mhz ..

But i 've changed while screen is on adjustment method is - interactive & when screen is off adjustment method is - conservative .. will it be Okay ? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robbo990:
I'm sure you should be putting 352Mhz as the Minimum and 576Mhz as the Maximum

Interactive whilst screen is on - and either Interactive/Conservative whilst screen off.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Not having any such issues here. Did you do a wipe before install?

The other one was a sense feature, but it's there if you press menu, select text.

It works fine for everyone else. Check your DNS etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
All Right Before it was 576 Mhz as the maximum & Minimum was 123 Mhz but it was freezing my phone .. So, i changed Maximum as the 352 Mhz.. But i'll change it just like you mention & will see it freezes phone or not .. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robbo990:
I believe its the slower 123Mhz clock thats causing issues with freezing/waking issues on some phones.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ratul_jain1991:
hey all

the rom is superfast n too cool but like all custom roms it drains battery like hell

i played 40 min of video at 50% brightness n the battery went down form 90% to 65%

is it normal??i guess it is not that normal :(

can u explain why is this happening :( as the battery stays at 99~100% only when phone is on stand by but as soon as u start using it the juice doest remain at healthy levels for a long time

n also there r man apps opening in the background

i kill the apps n after 5-6 sec fckload of apps open again in the background

so anyone else facing these problems?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] htcvajko:
contact type and sync

two questions:

1. is possible to change contact type ? it seems tahat only google contacts are acceepted :-(

2. how can i check to auto sync only google calendar ( i dont want to sync contacts) ?

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cyberden:
Hello everyone! Thanks for the hard work on this one!

I also have the same issue. FC on Gapps very often. I also think that because of these FCs I have issues with gmail push not working as it should.

Since not many people seem to have the issue I think it might be related to my titanium backup restore. I should try to use the "stock" rom to see if the issue persists but for now as I needed a working phone I came back to my old and beloved VR12...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
Hmm Okay I 've Already put 352Mhz as the Minimum and 576Mhz as the Maximum. Lets see What happens Next . Thanks For guiding me :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] descenpet:
i use google contacts only so i don't know about your first question, for 2nd question, if you go to settings>accounts &sync>your google account, there should be 3 checkboxes for contacts, gmail and calendar.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] htcvajko:
thanks. these checkboxes appear only after auto-sync is turned-on. it is logical :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tpischke:
Thanks for this rom

I've been a fan of Villain ROMs since HTC first announced they would be delaying the 2.1 upgrade until Summer 2010. I've eagerly flashed each new major update, and have been amazed at the progress in each.

Making the jump to FroydVillain has been even more amazing though. My phone runs like the hardware has been upgraded, and I've got better features now than my friends using the Desire with 2.2. I had been planning to buy a new phone in October, but my Hero is now kicking so much ass that I may keep it until well into 2011, when the next generation of Dual Core processors will be commonplace.

Thanks Villain, for breathing new life into the Hero. I'll be sure to pick a device you'll be supporting when it comes time to upgrade my hardware.

And by the way, nice work on the theming as well, I miss exactly nothing from HTC Sense.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] prinzipal:
1. partitioned sd

2. rebooted and uploaded froyd on sd

3. wiped data, cache, battery and rotate settings

4. flashed froyd & kernel

6. reboot.

can i do anything different, to solve the gapps issue
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Not really, since I think you're the only person having this issue. What were you doing to get the error to appear?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] prinzipal:
Nothing special. It appears right after boot up the phone and then randomly after starting some apps.not only google apps but also apps like tapatalk and facebook.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ratul_jain1991:
maybe i can get some help :D

Cookie for the person who helps me :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ropster:
25% drop for 40 minute video sounds reasonable to me, video realy hammers the battery because the screen is on all of the time even at 50%.

the app problem, a lot do autorestart, not much you can do realy, you could install autokiller which wil ensure there is always enough free memory. also check what it using the battery in the battery stats in settings, there may be something running that shouldnt be, but i suspect it will be the screen
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ropster:
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to use the CPUSPEED app that is built into Froyd on another Android phone (the magic), if so where can it be downloaded????
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Fancy trying something for me? Reinstall, after backing everything (including your apps), and wiping your EXT partition to remove all apps. Install the bare minimum of apps (ie. as few as you can make do with as a phone) and try using it for web etc with screen on.

There seem to be 2 groups of people. Those who get awesome battery, and those who don't. We are working to try and figure out the difference between the 2 groups, so we can help the latter. Any info you have is much appreciated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I haven't used this specific ROM in daily use, but generally speaking using such an intense application for 40 mins, doesn't seem so irrational it would drop 25%. With what ROM/kernel do you find this too be considerable better? Also note that I find the battery "meter" to be highly non-linear, meaning it will drop in the 50-90% range much faster than dropping down from a full 100% (after a full nights charge).

More piratical advice you can try is: A) if you are overclocking, consider lowering your max speed - try for the test to run it @ 528 (no OC). B) you might want to try my kernel (see my signature + recommend setting there), although I really doubt it will make much of a difference.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
I would guess psychological ....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ratul_jain1991:
i am in the latter side :p i always face battery problems with all villain roms

as i said the battery drainage is very less while on stand by but expends quickly as soon as u actually use the phone 30 mins of wifi n dang!! u go from 100% to 80~85% :(

n i love villain roms so much tht i cant just revert to some other rom :D and have a peace of mind

villain>>htc fr sure :cool:

n as i promised

In my experience, I have a good battery in a normal use.

Today I turn on the phone at 9.

I had 6 calls ( 5 below 3 minutes and one of 10 minutes ) 2 sms, 3 application downloaded with 3G connection, and 5 minutes of phone using with WiFi Tethering.

3G data connection always on.

I'm using 129 - 729 MHz kernel without boot animation.

After 6 hours and half i'm at 75% of battery.

Yesterday I've noticed a very high energy consumption while using Google Navigator.

I've noticed a high energy consumption while writing sms ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ratul_jain1991:
tried that before :(

n ya +1 on inconsistent battery meter

lol it goes from 50% to 15% far too quickly

but i never had such problems when i was on stock rom n unrooted phone ;)

but now it suks to go back :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
Hello i am having another problem !

Firstly Phone was freezing frequently so, i changed Cpu speed at lowest 352Mhz & Highest at 576Mhz but now that phone reboots itself every like 2 Hours :(

when i flashed the ROM I Wiped whole thing including EXT - Partition ..Any Help would be greatful .:-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Mmmmm thanks. Cookie tasted good ;)

You can try Erasmux's kernel if you want. But I used my phone on the internet for 1h 20 mins this morning, and that used up 9% of my battery (from 100% to 91%)

Also, dunno what erasmux thinks, but perhaps we should start looking at voltages as well as %ages for battery? Spare parts will give them, and it lets us check people are getting accurate readings from the meter.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ropster:

Got 3 random reboots today under different circumstances - using 614-logo kernel down from 652. How do I pull crash even logs from the phone as they're much more helpful than this rambling. Also, never had random reboots up until 1.5 - Good rom though I do like it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HTCDevil:
Good work with 614Mhz nindroid kernel without logo. Thanks :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jason4656:
first of all was surprised to find this rom, very good :) i like it.

i bought an iphone(dont hate me) after my hero didnt like it, so i bought a desire, and after about 3 roms and 3 weeks, i just didnt like it as much as my hero so i installed this rom on the hero and i do love it!! So the desire is going! the speaker is so bad on that phone its untrue.

Problems I am having similar to everyone else, battery life poor, specially when you use navigation, it would go from like 50 to 30 to 14 in no time, just straight jumps unless it moved so quick when i wasnt looking.

Mainly I want to ask about

1 the radio, which is the best radio i can use on orange uk?? without it locking, ive currently noticed the bars going from 0 to hero and up and down all the time but not slowly like real signal change, just like on and off type effect.

2 I get the issue other people talked about when pressing the key to switch the phone on, buttons light up, no screen comes on, have to do it twice or 3 times, ive tried setting min cpu to 352 and this hasnt changed it, I think this also coincides with sometimes when i get texts the screen stays unlit and doesnt show the quick reply box? untill i press the button a few times.

all in all great great upgrade, like it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah, unsupported, but it's alankila's and can be obtained from http://bel.fi/~alankila/

I think you'll need the CPUSpeed zip first, then the apk (as the apk is newer). And don't come whinging if it doesn't work ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] artursc:

1. Head to http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?307-radio-roms-download-links and look at some of the posts to see user's reports on which radios work ok on orange UK locked. One of the last 2 available works. Ask on our IRC if you need to.

2. Increase your minimum CPU speed in CPUSpeed, and if needed, set governor in sleep to interactive

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] codnik:
I experience stuttering with andless as well. With cubed it is okay. I can even play a game at the same time. FLAC playback.

I had the camera freeze on me once. It actually seemed to get physically stuck or jammed. Needed a reboot to get it back to normal.

That's on 691 kernel.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
well whatever you put your max to is the max speed your phone will be able to go. 352 is awfully slow... why limit your phone to such a low top speed?

everyone helping you is correct, raise bottom speed to 2XX or 3XX MHz and leave your top speed at 5XX or 6XX MHz or else your phone will feel pretty unresponsive....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
lower your top speed? overclocking eats battery, and it's only running at those high overclocked speeds when the screen is on and the phone is doing something interesting like watching video. slow down your phone.

should be no need for anything over 5XX MHz unless you're having speed issues in gains.

overclocking is even in the default kernel but not very much, I'd start there.

stock phone has 518MHz kernel and of course uses less battery when on in that case.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
+1

100% is there for extended use, then slow drop through 90s, then faster increasingly as phone gets lower in battery power. the last 30 or 40% go pretty darn fast, and the last 25 or so % are a joke.

just saying :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sjoerdos:
Like more people here i get ****ed up battery life with 1.5.0...after about 6 hours with virtually no usage it was completely drained. I checked my mail once, checked the time a few times and nothing more. With the same kind of usage on 1.4.4 i could hit almost 2 days. My experience is that it doesn't only draines like hell, but also recharges very fast (with about the same battery temperature as normal). So what are the normal voltages? I get just under 4200 mV at 100% and about 3600 mV empty, is this normal?

Does anyone have a bright idea? I'll reinstall the rom, but if that doesn't work it's back to 1.4.4 for me.

Background info: before 1.5.0 i had 1.4.4, between those i wiped, i have ****ed up batterylife with the nindroid kernel and aswell with the flykernel, i used 1.5.0 with the theme and aswell the vanilla (i agree, vanilla is not the most beautifull, but all the blue and the round buttons are ugly too)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gage_Hero:
If the phone is rebooting try a slower kernel, the hardware can't handle the speed you are trying to run it at... It is like trying to overclock a PC too much.... keep moving down kernels until you hit a stable one......
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
autokiller is, for all intents and purposes, not truly froyo compatible. as far as practicality, usefulness, and actually doing something useful at least.

froyo's memory manager is quite good. in fact so in the android 1.5's memory manager to be honest. autokiller shouldn't need to be used and it will probably be causing issues for you.

first thing, get rid of it, reboot, and then see where you're at. hopefully it didn't do anything to your configuration that won't automatically fix itself in froyo, otherwise you will need to reflash things if you still have issues.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sjoerdos:
There is something seriously ****ed up. My battery was just almost charged (93%) and after using the xbmc remote for about 5 mins it was at 84%. I'll do the reinstall now, will post results later.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
they're looking into this. however most people actually seem to be complaining that when not in use the phone has great battery life, it's only when something's in use preventing it from sleeping that battery use is poor. so very likely something's running that is eating your battery.

check the running processes in settings->applications and it might help you. also the spare parts app (preinstalled) can show a pretty vague but sometimes helpful list of what has been using most of your battery, compared to toher thigns at least. if it says screen, then your phone hasn't been sleeping as it should so an app has been keeping the screen running. which means your phone has actually been in constant use, so yea your battery will last about 6 hours (actually that's not bad for constant use).

So again you're back to checking running processes and uninstalling the offending app or reconfiguring it to sleep properly (the bad app I mean).

I hope that helps - it's fundamental knowledge that all android phone users should be armed with as lesson # 1 in the 2nd chapter of how to use the phone.

Reboots and Dialpad

Couple of things:

1) For the first time since in ages I'm getting some inexplicable reboots with my Hero. Not a lot, but happened twice today for example.

Using the 614 kernel with min speed at 176. Older froyds and 2.1 ROMs never had this problem. Who knows, it may just be an app update that's causing the problem. But anyone know the best way of diagnosing issues like this?

2) Dialpad. Can't seem to use the dialpad to enter an option into an automated call centre, such as when calling T-Mobile for example, the numbers just don't register. Is this normal for froyd or am I missing something?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sjoerdos:
Reinstalling the rom seems to have done the trick. My battery life seems fair, however this is tested with much usage, anyhow much better than before the reinstall. Tomorrow i'll report again about idle battery life.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
good to read :-)
