Thank you for the acclaration.

I still have 1 issue. I think street view apk is included in the system with the rom itself because I cannot manage to install it (update it), it gives me an error.

If anyone can provide the apk with the latest version, or will it work if I remove the apk from the rom and then reinstall it via market ?

An one last question, this tweak have anny effect on this rom, or will It break something ? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=785988.

PD: How do you activate teether is there a program (name?) or simply conecting to usb ?

Again, thaks all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] descenpet:
yes, you can uninstall the streetview that came with rom and install from market. if it still gives you error after uninstalling, try a reboot. it worked for me.

tether is in settings>wireless & networks>tethering
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tcyeric:
pardon me for asking but how do you go abt uninstalling it? i tried using titanium backup but its telling me that "cannot remove system app" "failed to locate the apk file"

i'm no expert on all this but i do know where the apk is located but am clueless as to directing titanium backup to the apk file.

is there another way to go about uninstalling street view that is 'noob friendly'?

EDIT: i have managed to have it removed, i did not do a reboot after installing titanium backup :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Titanium can do it, but I think you need to remount system as writable first, using root explorer or equivalent.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BuzzFuzz:
ups, sorry :P

they are good, no worrie. if u can live without Footprints, Stocks and Gallary (froyo 3Dgallary) than Froyo will be your new friend ;)

Everything is "almost" the same. Or just better.

Flash and u will see.

Create nandroid backup and u can go back if.... :)

I am still having the Gallery issue. When I see pictures and switch screen orientation the pics get distorted.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stravi:
Lost recovery!

I nandroided 1.4.4 and installed 1.5 but only wiped dalvik.

Everything seemed fine, except cannot boot into recovery mode anymore :(

Superuser stuff is fine, some apps are possibly missing such as anet share, titanium backup, though not sure if they're included in this rom.

Any ideas how to get recovery back??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
Great ROM guys!

Stupid market issues are still not fixed by Google so I'm not getting my auto-restore of apps... gotta pay for Titanium Backup.

What's the linpack score range I should be getting?

Not liking the new theme too... gonna get the vanilla one when it comes out tmrw.

Cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BuzzFuzz:
Seems like your rec image was gone. Try with Amon RA Recovery Image
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bugeyes:
changed to 576 kernal,still no gps gonna wipe and see if that fixes it.......
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
That's great to know! I'll just do a nandroid and then flash it. If I don't like it I'll revert back to VillainROM 12.

Thanks!

Download an app called Fancy Widget. It's a replica of the HTC Flip clock, its amazing.

Not available in the market though, you'll have to use google :)!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ziggy1001:
Ok been trying this out for a few hours first impressions excellent thanx:D

Now for the bugs for some reason these roms never play my vids smoothly unless i go to the 614 speed but not on this one:( still judders slightly

Also all my album artwork has disappeared on this version anyone else get this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Fabulous691:
Hi

Thx for this work

I'm gonna test froyo for the first time :)

But before that, a question plz:

what are the default frequencies of the original kernel (min /max), and the frequencies of the 576mhZ kernel (max 576,but min.. 122?)

cause i dont want to have wake up issue

A 576/352 is perfect for me

Thx
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hi_robb:
Lo there,

I've tried gallery and rotation and still get a minor issue.

If you open gallery you see the albums you have as little stacks of pics and if you rotate at that point to landscape from portrait it does go screwy. But, if you actually open an album so it diaplys the pics inside it then rotate, it's fine.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gu_de_o:
I have a question that no necessarily has anything to do with this specific ROM, but I'm hopeful that a nice person here could help me anyway.

How do I sync contacts with my Facebook account? I can't find anywhere were I can just tell my phone book that one specific contact is also a specific person on Facebook, so that photos and such syncs with Facebook and then directly to my contacts.

Fantastic ROM by the way. Finally my GPS works perfectly and locks within 15 seconds.

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BuzzFuzz:
In Edit Contact press Menu button than Join..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Can you explain what happens when you turn the phone off, then hold down home and press the power key? I don't understand what you mean.

Well, I wasn't aware of it being fixed, so I guess you're just unlucky :( Not much I can think of to do, but it works here. Maybe try a full wipe install?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fabioff:
VillainROM Updater is crashing for me, did a full wipe before installing etc
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jens.bergqvist:
Possible graphics glitch in theme?

After installing 1.5 with the new theme the bookmarks button in the browser looks a bit odd. It doesn't have proper edges on top or to the right and looks slightly too large. It does look like a proper button while pressed. Nitpicking I know, but the smallest thing can get annoying when you look at it all the time... :-)

In all important respects this is one kick-ass release!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
576 to 123, as you use the app CPUSpeed (installed in the ROM) to set your minimum frequency.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Is the USB cable disconnected from the phone, and is the data connection/Wifi connection working?

Vanilla theme added to original post. this should fix the issue, but I don't know if you could bear to put up with stock Android or not... Just wait for the third party themers to get their themes out :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] slovoflud:
oh yeah, me too :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Please see my post above yours for the link to the vanilla theme :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toxic-hero:
only two things i really miss from sense are good old 2D gallery (for pics & video) and black statusbar with sense icons. stock android calendar is also not so stylish but works ok. and with the music app, they're actually both crap.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hatim:
Every now and then I get an error "unable to connect to the camera". Anybody else with the same?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robbo990:
I too have been having the Unable to connect to camera issue - have to reboot to use it.

Anyone else?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
Got it once on vacation. Otherwise it's working ok. Been using this rom over three weeks, and just happened once. Might be due to overheating/overclocking, I don't know. It was REALLY hot when I was there. Guess I used 729 kernel at the time. Put the phone in the shade, and rebooted. All well.

To me it's not an issue, since it's happened once in three weeks. I can live with that :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robbo990:
I'm only running on the 576mhz Kernel - so don't think its an overclocking issue. Not a big problem as I don't use the camera that often.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yfaykya:
I have had the phone reboot a couple of times when opening the camera app. I have also seen this on modaco 2.1 rom too though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] McGregorous:
I've underclocked from 576Mhz to 528 due to overheating. I still receive camera errors now and again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
I'm on the 576, never had this problem.

Then again I usually use FxCamera and only the default camera app when I need the zoom.

Guys How do you make A Playlist ? I can able to make playlist but i am not able to select songs .. Like we do in sense Htc Music App

Has anyone been able to get angry birds to run? I can't find it in the market and apk install won't work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oprisnik:
Yeah works here.

Downloaded from: http://www.getjar.com/adp/Angry-Birds-Lite-Beta
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Calico5:
yeah it works on my Hero... BUT its not being dispayed properly. I can only see 75% of the screen... the lower 25% is cut off... :o any1 else have this problem??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Teddy2k:
I've also been experiencing random hard locks over the past week or so. I've been running 1.5.0 since shortly after it was released and at first, it was rock solid. This past weekend alone, I had my Hero hard lock on me at least 4-5 times, where I have to physically remove the battery in order to get it to reboot. During one of the hard locks, the scroll wheel continued to pulse its white light, even though it wouldn't respond to anything else.

I'm running the stock kernel (the one that comes with the original ROM image that I downloaded) and Radio 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Where did you find it? I can't find it on the market and when I try to use appbrain it says its not available. this is for angry birds lite beta.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Just get the apk, it's a free beta. The dev cites Google issues, but it doesn't appear on the hero
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
I've heard that it won't display on the Heros market since it's build for HDPI devices, and Hero is MDPI. I might be wrong. Runs nicely though :) The cut off doesn't bother me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
Don't think it's overclocking myself, cause my phone runs stable at least up to 729MHz on FV15. First thing that hit me was overheating in my case, but it's probably not. Doesn't matter much, since it doesn't seem to be a big issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Calico5:
Somebody sent it to me :) Heres the tested .apk that im using:

http://rapidshare.com/files/421799915/com.rovio.angrybirds_lite.apk

hmmm so the full version is unlikely to fix the issue :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Thanks. Works fine for me. I'm not noticing anything cut off. But maybe I don't know what I'm missing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
The main menu will appear clipped, with the icons etc very close to the edges, or slightly off the screen. It is fully playable though as no game level is cut off
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
Just a few on/offtopic questions:

When I do a wipe, should I wipe battery and rotation as well? I always do that, but should I? :) Does it matter?

Oh, and does anyone else have the (small) issue when deleting a calendar activity? It works great if I open the activity, and delete it from there (press menu, etc.), but if I long press the activity from the day-calendar it won't delete it?

It's no big deal, and I don't care much about it. Just wondering if it's a bug in general, or just my rom :)

Edit: Seems the calendar issue isn't really an issue. Tested it again and it worked. Seems like it just happens sometimes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
yeah full wipe makes phone much smoother , but if you come from 1.4 then no need to wipe that . :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
Hi There ! i am getting random reboots .. yesterday my phone rebooted suddenly itself..today again it got reboot by itself ..it reboots itself like once in a day :rolleyes:

But the strange thing is when i am playing music in BT Headset it works fine but when i Switch off BT Headset & Bluetooth in my phone, it reboots this is the 3rd time it happened .:(

In Setcpu i have set interactive Max 576Mhz and Min 356Mhz . off screen i have set Conservative ..:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
I'm using 1.5 already. I'm just wondering in general what wiping those two options does. :) I'm guessing it's the stats for both of them, but is the stats backed up/restored with nandroid, etc?

I'm just curious :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
Try setting off-screen to Interactive.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
Thanks i 'll try that :)

Wipe battery- Deletes power usage logs in /data/system/

Wipe rotate - I got no idea ..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dustcraft:
I've been using this ROM for about a month, but lately I've been having more and more random reboots, sometimes even three times a day. I've tried different cpu speed configs and the problem was still there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] milko9000:
Likewise (although I only tried the default CPU speed config with wake at 352 since lower causes issues for me). I switched to the 'special edition' elelinux last night to see if it does the same thing to me - nothing yet but Froydvillain was flawless at first so I can't judge.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tcnineteen:
I didn't know this way before, thanks! BTW, would the data be uploaded to the cloud and be synced once we flash a new ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
Do update!

Incidentally, if I wanted to flash back to 1.4.4, can I do it without a wipe? :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] piyachatja:
I can not send or recieve mms , please help plz
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
exactly. Nice to see someone thinking logically about this.

I've experienced that exact phenomenon with every froyo rom built within the past couple of months.

Either random reboots or random severe slowdowns - both of which are pretty annoying. I still fine this to be the fastest rom - floyo 0.8 is also really good, and so is ele's "special edition" rom. in fact so is hwmnbn's froyo rom. they're all really solid and good now.

My fav? froyd 1.5. second in line is currently a tie between floyo 0.8 and special edition. 3rd is hwmnbn and fusion (which keeps on ticking despite being a rather older codebase now from what I can tell - it's still solid and stable).

Hey guys , anyone have problems with accessing storage over USB ???

I've connected my freshly installed 1.5.0 rom and whanted to copy some music on it but when i turn on usb storage NOTHING HAPPENDS!!!! HELP!!!!

its sucks since i didnt had that problem on 1.4.0+ versions.

If anyone got an answer for this pleeeeaaassseee help....

I will die if i go to work without some music, also headphones dont work since i have some music on my SD/MP3 folder.

Please help.

OTA is crashing, cant run or update, but i didnt realy used it on 1.4.0v .

all i whant to say, HELP!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ulyan:
Yeah, I have just the same problem. it only worked the first day, since day 2 "nada". I really like this rom but this problem is a real issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I am 99% sure it's your USB drivers at fault. Make sure you're using the best ones for adb, as I had this problem a while ago.

IIRC the HTC Sync ones work. Also, if you've used tether, make sure you reboot before trying to use it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Seriously man would you guys at least remove the part were Hacre/you are/is hating on Feeyo!? I mean if there are no consequences (which there should be) by once again bringing their/your fight up at least remove the ****!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ulyan:
I wiped everything HTC related, drivers, software everything, restarted and now it seems it works.

Anyway thx pulser. :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mystique1:
Hey guys, I'm SERIOUSLY considering changing from Modaco r5 to this.

How is the battery life compared to Modaco r5? More/Less/Similar? If less, by how much?

Is there anything else I should know which might turn me away? :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Calico5:
I had this problem last week. However it seemed to fix itself by just rebooting the phone :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ziggy1001:
So the previous 1216 posts weren't sufficient :eek:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toxic-hero:
i was on r5 before i flashed to FV. i think the battery life is nearly the same. since FV is sense-less you have to adapt to sense-less apps. default dialer is crap, install dialer-one, also it's better to flash some lighter music player then default (i use kiss player, other people suggest mixzing, meridian...), launcher pro is THE best android launcher (better than sense one). the only thing that i really can't find better alternative of is gallery app. 3D gallery (default) sucks and is slow, the alternatives are all so-so...

no flash on vanilla, of course!

all in all: you should try for yourself and decide. i loved r5 but wouldn't go back to sense and 2.1. if i bought a new shiny SENSE android phone i would probably search for a vanilla rom for it.

i also think you should flash sense-ui theme if you prefer sense colours.

EDIT: note that some people has different experiences with battery on FV. some report amazingly good battery life (2+ days) and some notoriously bad (20% down in an hour). i don't really know what is the reason for this. my battery life is about one day with moderate usage, mobile data always on, wifi, gps, bluetooth mostly off, juice defender off (i had the same on r5, mcr3, factory).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
I am another victim of the random reboots starting up after a couple weeks of stable operation. What do you think is the cause of this? Any advice or solutions aside from wiping and reflashing?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hi-Fi:
I face the same problem after 2 weeks use, last week i got several reboot in the same date

after i change my setting and change to setcpu instead of cpuspeed and set screen off to 245/352 interactive

normal at 352/614 interactive

no more re-boot, it is worth for you to test
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vatvedt:
I've had this stable and no reboots for two weeks, and this last weeks it's rebooted three times. About every other day. Probably cause I've tried different setting with CPUSpeed. I've raised the lower speed to 352 (interactive), and the last day or two, no reboot. Might be a coincidence. Time will show :)

Running both on and off with interactive.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vikern:
Downloaded the FroydVillain 1.5.0, extracted it. Then I downloaded and extracted the 691MHz with boot animation into FroydVillain 1.5.0 folder.

At the end I zipped the file again and uploaded it to my phone.

When trying to flash I now get the error: No digest for ForydVillain-1.5.0-release-signed/META-INF/CERT.RSA

Verification failed.

How can I resolve that? Have not understood how to add the 691 with bootscreen to the release..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robbo990:
Don't Extract - Flash FroydVillain.zip - allow it to complete. Then flash kernel.zip which will include the clock frequency you selected.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hi-Fi:
no need to extract/zip, download it and put it on SD root, just flash it as it is
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vikern:
Ahhh.. But ofcourse.. Thank you!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mdk001:
Is the trackball bug still not fixed?

I really can't stand my Hero lighting up my whole room all night long for no reason at all...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kanzar:
For some reason this ROM just does the SD card check... forever and ever. :/ Doesn't do that on the Froyo 2.2 SE ROM, which does the check on boot but it doesn't take very long at all.

I'm not sure if it's something I installed that doesn't play well with your ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ulyan:
Yeah, good point there I am curious too. ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
It is fixed. If you trackball lights, it means some non-VillainROM app (usually google market) is trying to say something like "Update available". I've also seen other badly coded apps like tapatalk (with PM notification) doing this.

It's an app issue, and I'm not getting any, by sticking to well coded apps and accepting market updates regularly.

Strange... It only checks for 5 secs here (which is normal AFAIK). Might be worth checking there's nothing strange installed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mincaeuro:
Hi

1st awesome job.. but 1 thing i really don't like is that stupid

"hold" button when your in call.. i always accidentally hit it with my ear... is it possible to move it next to other icons (mute, Bluetooth, keypad,..)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fongfc:
faced same problem today
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Iggniite:
I face the same problem with pretty much every call i make.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Try the "proximity sensor" app on the market, which will allow you to disable the buttons while the phone is up to your ear (dark reading on sensor). It's pretty nifty :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mdk001:
Ok,that might be it,there's an update in the market I just don't want as it removes some features from an app...is there a way to remove said app from the market then?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kieranc:
Aww ;)

Anyhoo... is there a consensus on what's causing the reboots? Going between 614 and 730MHz doesn't seem to make any difference, increasing my minimum speed seems to have improved the situation but I still get occasional reboots. I'm using setcpu rather than cpuspeed now too. So.. the maximum speed doesn't make much odds but why should the minimum speed being too low cause a reboot? I had a few days when each time I plugged the phone in to charge it rebooted too... dunno how that works!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
LOL. Bit of a tenuous snip there, but I'll give you it as a fair hit ;)

I am pretty sure SetCPU helps, but minimum speed being too low can easily cause it to crash by just "not doing anything" and freezing out. Same for max being too high. I don't know the techy stuff, but I guess it just stops ticking the clock as it gets too slow (or geeky equivalent).

I have now got 51:43:40 uptime on 652 kernel, with 19 MHz sleep (WARNING: do not try 19 MHz sleep at home, as you'll freeze your hero 99% of the time. Mine seems special in working at so low a speed :))

Plugging in phone causes a change in speed usually, due to the screen turning on, and stuff happening to drive the governor up. I guess that a huge jump from low speed to high speed could cause the issue, but I am merely postulating here...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Calico5:
hmmm... i'm still getting the trackball issue :( its starts to flash even when i have no data connectivity i.e mobile/wifi. So i dont really know whats setting it off... its incredibly annoying, but i like this ROM too much to switch :D lol
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] craig0r:
"Just don't hold it that way." Duh. :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
I Had the same problem i just reboot my phone once now its All good . :)

@ Pulser - why LED Light stays Green when i am charging phone ? :rolleyes: It should stay red..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] descenpet:
the LED turns green at 90% charge. it's a froyo thing not froyd's
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] khunjj:
+1 to confirm this issue. Also when changing wallpaper after using for a while, only wallpaper picture of homescreen is changed accordingly but the lockscreen picture is changed back to default FV picture - weird!

I think that there is some memory leak somewhere that causes random reboots and some improper setting. Hope there should be a fix soon.

BTW, understand that CM6 has been updated. It would be great if this update can be included in the new FV build.
