The wired headphone issue has been discussed to death, and the outcome is that it's an HTC feature, and that looking at the headphone jack will tell you if you plugged your headphones in or not :p

As for games, I have had no issues. But I know lots of games panic and FC if you wipe /data without reinstalling the game itself, since they are missing their app data. Perhaps try re-installing them and see if it's better?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] grandmasterb66:
Funny thing is: After a reboot, both Neocore and Raging Thunder 2 work fine all of a sudden.

Remarkable is that Neocore seems to get lower scores in 1.5.5 than in its predecessor, whilst R.T.2 seems more smooth. But the hell with that, it works at least :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
The data only assists the GPS lock. If you're somewhere that doesn't even have a cell tower in range, they will lock on, just takes longer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lagren:
Hummmm

Can i complain that i don't want to see my carrier name ? :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gli8600:
Flashing now, thanks for the great work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orangeclanz:
yummy..looks good, still running on stock speed 576, yet to flash oc. but it seem fast enough to me.

waiting restored all my apps from titanium. Hopefully its maintain the speed & stability

nice works. hacre. appreciate it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gli8600:
yay, market seems working well
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Now it`s out :D

Many thanks!

If I come from Froyd Villain 1.4.4,this should work without a wipe,right?

Or is it better to do a full wipe?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gli8600:
I will say do a full wipe so you don't need to worry about problems
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Ok,should work without wipe,but will try with full wipe to have

no problems!

Downloading now :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orangeclanz:
i love full wipe . :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
I came from Elelinux 1.6 and did not wipe. So far everything is working beautifully. I can confirm that GPS is functioning fine. Found and locked on 10 sats within 30 seconds. It is fast and snappy, looks good too. Market is working great too. Did you give Google a kick in the ass too? The only problem I forsee is terrible battery life.....cuz I'm gonna be playing with it all the time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orangeclanz:
wow..4.178 linpack score for stock speed (576). damn..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Hmmm...I only got a 3.8 on stock kernel. What am I doing wrong?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orangeclanz:
you dint clean your Hero. Vacum and give it bath. :p

haa..try again pal..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] koepi:
Thanks for the new release! I like the theme (it just changes icons to something more eyecandy for me). I'll report on the battery drain later - using two different governors now as you proposed it. And yes, it feels a little snappier, we'll see in a day if this is just because of the reboot... ;-)

Cheers

Koepi
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Ok, I let my cat lick it for a while, then installed the 691 kernel then ran linpack again and got 4.76. That's better. Good kitty.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Does this means a non themed update comes too?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dabrown:
Freaking amazing

OK, coming from the nightly builds, just flashed and restored my apps and I must say - it's unbelievably fast at "stock" speeds. Well done Hacre and Team Villain. Will be using this for awhile.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ArchaosAngel:
hey guys. anyone here can reccomend any good speed for decent performance and battery life?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gli8600:
This ROM is 99% perfect, the only thing to make it complete perfect is to have a better gallery.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Yes,but seems to be works better now at rotation,I have no bugs

at landscape or portrait mode!

Manuell network search and import contacts from vCard works perfect,too!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] m4co:
Am I the only one with 3G not working? :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reynoldsclan:
Thanks for the great rom they just get better and better. However since upgrading to 1.5 my hero keeps randomly hanging when you try and unlock the phone, when it hangs nothing will happen no matter what button you press for a minute or so and then it will burst back into life. I have installed from a full wipe then restored my apps with titanium. I have also tried a fresh install and then installed apps manually from the market but i keep getting random hangs at the unlock screen.

Any ideas anyone
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xerxesz:
GREAT!

I just wanted to tell you that 1.5.0 is simply great. I installed it 2 days ago, and it is working without issue. No OC, but still very fast - with OC was a little bit dizzy and much worse on battery life. I love the new graphics and the uncounted number of settings I can make with.

Just for info, installed without wipe and everything seems to work as it was before. Thanks a lot! You transformed my Hero into a brand new device ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
I'm no pro but in my apn settings I had to choose one that worked for me (there were 3). 3G didn't work out of the box for me too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ticho:
Hm, I had a weird issue this morning when travelling to work. I was browsing a (quite large and resource-heavy) webpage, listening to music from mixzing, and suddenly the UI gradually slowed down to a grinding halt. The system was still reacting, but with several seconds of delay, and was *very* choppy.

After about a minute, I got a "LauncherPro not responding" dialog, and chose to force close it. The phone immediately returned to normal, and when LP restarted, I noticed that it's 9:00 and a calendar notification is waiting for me in the top notification bar (although there was no prompt for it, or audio notification).

Music playback was almost flawless during all this, only one or two chops here and there.

The whole thing looked very much like a Linux machine does when it's starved for memory and the OOM killer doesn't kick in.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Sounds like minimum CPU speed is set too low.

Yes, seems so :( Check your APN settings please.

Hmmm. That's possible, or perhaps launcher pro crashed. Remember Launcher Pro is a beta, so you might need to file a bug with them, although you could also try setting up Autokiller to see if that helps
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wywywywy:
Not an expert in this kind of things, but in earlier VillainRoms I had the exact same problem, and toggling compcache solved it. So that might be it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reynoldsclan:
I havent changed the cpu settings from the default install but will try raising it up a notch

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ticho:
I'll see about that in case it reoccurs. So far I tried setting up several agenda items with reminders, and they all worked fine under similar load, so it must have been a fluke. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bbogdann:
What is the time for booting?...i flashed with rom and in 5 minutes phone didn't boot.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cambria83:
I just had the random flashing trackball bug. It was flashing, but I had no notifications?

I used a taskiller to kill apps until it stopped, and it seemed to stop after I killed Touiteur. I was just wondering if the other people experiencing this issue also had Touiteur installed?

It's the first time it's happened to me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] khunjj:
I use "Droid Essentials" to notify headset plugin. It works !:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
Mail works fine now, and I think the battery life improved as well. Hacre, could you confirm if any changes have been applied for the email client in 1.5.0?

The brightness issue is still there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
hi,

today the screen was only black and no response on keypress. LED was flashing because received E-Mail and SMS. Wasn't able to receive calls. After reboot the screen was still black but showing statusbar.

After second reboot the device was slow but showing normal screen.

Now working fine again.

Using 1.5 non OC without bootanimation.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
First boot takes a little while, but usually a lot less than normal for a new ROM. Check logcat if you want. After first boot, a no-logo bootscreen lets it boot in 40 seconds on an optimised install during our tests.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Thisother0ne:
Like most folk I'm finding this ROM very fast and polished hell even GPS works(ish):

Twitter widget FCs, not massively bothered but as this is on the stock ROM and after a full wipe that seems a bit weird.

GPS can't lock while on a train/in car. Essentially makes Navigation impossible.

I travel between Glasgow and Edinburgh every day and am more than willing to help test multiple things to get this sorted so please let me know what I can do to get to the bottom of this.

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] btdag:
Pretty standard AFAIK - just lock on before getting in said vehicle and it should stay locked (my experience).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ticho:
I don't know about that - I could mostly get GPS fix easily in a car on HTC stock ROM. I haven't tried it on FroydVillain yet, though.

EDIT: Tried it in a moving car yesterday, got a fix pretty quick.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
I've been able to get GPS locks even with the curtains closed - and in car usually takes 10 seconds.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mobydeek:
Theres also FLiP http://www.appbrain.com/app/jp.tom016.flipf

Its not perfect, but definitely has potential with some tweaking (if its still under development)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dcmedia:
After a second flashing it works now!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hiddenangel:
thx alexluckett for the info with "fancy widgets".

now my hero locks like older days within the clock and weather on the front-display.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zHk3R:
Thanks for a new release.

- Booting now, can't wait to start using this SOB.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Thanks. I'm going to open this up over at the VR site and invite suggestions for reviews, and I will then take a look at as many as I can tonight/tomorrow, and do some proper reviews like the Angry Birds one...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hansvonhoden:
Nice Rom!

But i expierenced some Scroll-lags within "Settings"-Menue, scrolling through "Contacts" (also Appdrawer in Launcher Pro). It runs not as smooth as in some other 2.1 ROMS. :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shokkapic:
Good afternoon gentlemen.

I flashed 1.5.0 and noticed the same "bug" happens as with the other Froyo releases for our Hero.

If you install Swype (p.e.) and set it as the default keyboard, if you reboot the phone, Swype will not be the default keyboard anymore, but Android keyboard. I believe this happens with other apps such as AWD.Launcher, that will be restored to LauncherPro.

Also, there is a stupid bug in the gallery. If you change your phone from landscape to portrait while in the gallery with a photo openned, funny things happen.

Also, I'm experiencing some wake-up issues, and when I press the Power button a couple of times to turn the screen on, the phone turns off. After I turn it on, the default settings go away, just like with the reboot problem (both on keyboard and launcher). I believe this is a problem with the conservative governor on CPUSpeed. My CPU speed is 246-691, interactive while on, conservative while off.

Nice work with this Froyo release, anyway. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liljom:
Thank you Villain team for this great ROM!

Fast, stable, good battery life, GPS works fast.

I love, that I can connect to adhoc networks easily : )

Only bug I saw is the auto brightness, it was very light yesterday night. After using power control widget auto->middle->highest->auto it was fine, but it is the only thing : )

Thank you!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] karlanal:
many many many tnx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Neo Cortex:
I was just about to post a nearly identical message. I've got all those issues.

The other issue is that the screen doesn't turn off when I answer a call. Consequently I have cut off a few people. This is my first ROM with Froyo: is this a known problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tenchi0205:
:cool:if the inside of the folder I put an nomedia.txt to avoid music player to pick the ringtones into its play list will it make these ringtones not appear in the menu?

I did that its not appear in the menu...:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] agent Ahmed:
HTC Sync for FroydVillain

How do I connect to HTC sync?

I need to get my contacts from Outlook.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robbo990:
Probably best to export contacts to .csv and import them into GoogleMail - they should automatically return to your phone from then on
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tenchi0205:
I think is mission impossible, cos FV no more using HTC thingy anymore
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
If you have wake issues, raise minimum speed or try interactive in sleep.

As for the call screen, I think you're tapping the hold key with your ear. Try installing the app "proximity sensor" which uses the light sensor to figure out when phone is at your ear.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dcmedia:
I use Google Calendar Sync to sync Outlook with Google Mail and sync Phone OTA. This works very well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lynx2k50:
Random reboots here :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] k0rner:
Flash a kernel with lower frequency.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lynx2k50:
Do u think this will help me?

No problems so far on eclair roms with 692 mhz (for example Chocolate Eclair).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] k0rner:
Yes, this rom is far more sensitive to minor CPU errors caused by over-overclocking, as it uses more CPU features.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
I've just moved to a lower speed kernal (614) because I had two complete (!) lockups today. Even the battery charging indicator was stuck - after removing the power cable it remained lit. The screen stayed on as well and on the same image. I guess it got warmer while playing music and charging for a while and crashed sooner than usual 652 compared to non-charging.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Neo Cortex:
Cheers. Interactive works, as does proximity sensor. Just need to sort out SWYPE and it will be perfect :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lynx2k50:
Okay give it a try.

Any wipe needed? Come from 692 and want to switch to 61x

regards and thanks for help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tom C.:
I am not able to connect to the WPA2 protected WLAN at my office :(

Did not ask me for credentials or anything, just tries endlessly to connect ...

Any suggestions?

BTW: With my home network there is no problem at all!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] k0rner:
No, no wipe is needed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wombat43:
How frequent are your random reboots? Over the last 48 hours I have had 3 random reboots. I'm on the 122-576-logo kernel.

Is there a SYSLOG or similar system log file somewhere in the phone's filesystem that I could look at for clues as to what's causing the reboots?

Otherwise, loving this ROM. I've come pretty much straight from the stock T-Mobile UK 1.5-based ROM, so I feel like I've got a completely new phone!

Big thankyou to Hacre, Ninpo, and the FV and CM teams!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] k0rner:
Zero random reboots at "stable for my phone" 652MHz kernel.

If I flash 691 one, there will be some reboots (e.g. while trying to lock GPS while playing music), and 700+ kernels would simply not boot.

You can check /proc/last_kmsg for the log of what happened before the last reboot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] angerfist2009:
Flashed this last nite really liked it one problem though facebook.

I cant seem to find most of my facebook contacts to link with my phonebook there just not there. Also only one picture has attached to the contacts how do i fix this no amount of syncing has worked so far and its a major thing for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mdk001:
I still can't see Quickoffice in the app list, and I can't launch it in any way...except I can still open .pdf files with it, how so?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robbo990:
Download an app called syncmypics - it allows to link names to profiles and change them
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] angerfist2009:
Nice1 mate downloading it now shall see how it goes :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cambria83:
Ok, this has happened again since and killing Touiteur didn't stop the trackball blinking this time, so it wasn't that. Odd. I have no idea whats causing it? It isn't that I have an app needing an update either as previously suggested.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shields398:
this rom is too good! i need to get my hit and flash something but theres nothing to flash!! :)

EDIT: actually quick question, what radio is recommended for orange UK and this rom?

cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marka2k:
Have the same issue with Yahoo Mail app for android.

:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mdk001:
Did you dismiss a missed call notification without checking it, by any chance?

I had the same problem, told someone to ring my phone and then I had "2 missed calls" in the notifications, viewed them and the ball stopped flashing
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] beliskner:
I don't suppose this has the nice call screen which has no buttons so you can't accidentally put calls on hold with your face?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dallas79:
it was contacts blast that showed up when i got a message.

I´m having wifi problems. i can connect to my wifi and get strong signal, but when i

try to see a webpage it loads for a while then stops and gives the "no connection" screen. anybody else having wifi problems?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jamierc:
No, and I keep putting people on hold. There's an app called proximity sensor, that basically blanks the screen during calls, trying to make up for the Hero's lack of prox sensor, that causes the hold calls problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] no1male:
My notification problem has now resolved itself after a couple of reboots :)

Anyone know where to get Google Talk from? Done a google search and can only seem to find places to download it that i dont like the look of.

And you guys are an honest bunch ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maharifu:
It should already come with the rom. Did you delete it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
meridian paid version is fine for cover art.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
the wired headphone issue is solved by installing and configuring the free app called "droid essentials" from the market. it overcomes the limitation of froyo not having a wired headphone indicator and also adds optional (and kind of irritating) battery notifications (I only use the low level one, the fully charged indicator is annoying, trust me...).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
not remarkable at all if you read the release notes. benchmarks are pointless. the real test is a real game that shouldn't even run on our phones (RT2). and it's so smooth you forget about issues and just have fun :-)

even at 614MHz it's super fast in 1.5, took 710+ to be sort of smoothish in previous roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
no oc? so you installed a 518MHz kernel? :-)

haha, I understand what you mean though, you haven't pushed the OC yet with a separate kernel flash. it IS an amazing rom isn't it? and flashing fully first is the only way to guarantee no issues to overcome afterwards.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
haha... navigation locks on perfectly in a good area on a random day where satellites are arranged well within view of your gps. just like with ANY gps device... think about how it works for a while and you'll understand why something this type of thing happens.

and of course... the person who said it doens't work in a train/car DID try the known optional improvement that hacre posted in his release notes, right?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
hacre and I use meridian...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
another helpful bug report. I know this one has been answered, but as a recommendation of how to post issues for people having troubles - without an indication of what you did, what parts you wiped, what kernel you run, your previous flashing experiences with that phone, it's very tough to help you effectively.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Don't worry about it. When I'm off my break a 1.5.1 update should solve much of the nagging glitches.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
no it has the nice locking call screen with all of the features one might actually have to use during a call like speakerphone, bluetooth toggle, dialer popup. the one with those features missing is useless.... try driving and hard pressing menu button and trying to decipher those little menu icons LoL

but I totally get what you mean :-). So I think in fusion that was toggleable, I doubt it's a toggle option here though. you can look through the settings stuff though and see, post here if the option exists please.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jkmoogle:
I've found a couple more issues, one resolves itself with a lower clocked kernel though. I've found some... weird graphics issues at times, in gallery for example, it occassionally goes strange. Hard to explain the issue, but someone's posted the same issue already. Also, every 8-10 screen wakes/unlocks, the screen inverts, and goes upside down and back to front. Resolves instantly after screen off / on again though. So these are more little niggles again! I have had the same screen wake graphics issues on older versions of FV as well after multiple wipe/flashes, anyone else encountered it or just my phone being mental?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
It's your lower clock speed being the issue I think. As kernels progress, HTC's botched drivers cause trouble for overclocking and stability at lower speeds. But the ROM is getting faster and better at managing power, so you won't notice the difference in clock speeds ideally.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jkmoogle:
I'm on the 691 kernel currently, going lower than that actually resolves an issue i had with the screen occassionally waking at full brightness. I can recreate the issue on the 691 by setting to conservative power governor. Like I said, I couldn't care less if my issues ever get fixed given the overall standard of the ROM, but I'm reporting them just in case!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Haizum74:
Ok found two possible issues, first one being MMS. If I switch to O2 MMS APN then fine I can get them but cant send text messages. If I switch back to O2 UK APN then I can send texts but not receive MMS.

2nd one is bluetooth, I cant send any files to another phone. I get a 'paired but not connected' on the bluetooth settings list and when I try to send a file or connect it says its the wrong file type for the phone and wont connect.

PS My friend got a Nexus one the other day and jeez that thing is fast. First time I had seen one in the flesh.

EDIT Also just got a crash and reboot sending a text
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hero459:
Back when we were having problems with GPS on 1.4.x you gave us a link to download a new radio.

Now that the issue is resolved in 1.5 should I flash a new radio (latest one available?) thanks - I've been having a few problems with GPS locking late on runkeeper but that may be an issue with runkeeper.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SchinTeth:
I flashed it, and it works, so I guess its save :)
