Im with T-Mob UK and have never been able to send/recieve MMS with any custom ROM. Its one small thing I can live without, with this great 2.2 ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] frottage:
I had this bluetooth issue too when trying to send a file to my gf's X10 mini
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] frottage:
Exchange updates stop working

has anyone else using push sync to exchanged experienced an issue where the phone suddenly just stops sync-ing ?? its happened a number of times to me - the only cure ive found is a reboot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
Has anybody managed to get Angry Birds running (clipped) on 1.5.0? Many people on Hero report it working with clipping, but when I install the beta it tells me "Application not installed". Wondering how it runs on the Hero and if the clipping is bad enough to not enjoy the game :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robbo990:
You just need to add the T-Mobile UK MMS APN

In Wireless & Networks - go to Mobile Networks, Access Point Names

Press Menu - New APN

The only settings you need to add are

Name - Something like T-Mobile MMS

APN - general.t-mobile.uk

USERNAME - user

PASSWORD - one2one

MMSC - http://mmsc.t-mobile.co.uk:8002

MMS PROXY 149.254.201.135

MMS PORT - 8080

APN TYPE - MMS

This is for contract - so may not work on Pay & Go - but works ok here
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BigD18t:
Running fine on mine, it took a few trys to get it launched, and yes it does clip the top and bottom off so it looks widescreen, and a few icons are bunched up on the menu screen, as for playing the game, its great :cool: the pinch zoom doesnt really work well, but it plays fine, a little lag here and there but nothing you cant cope with.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robbo990:
Works ok here with 614OC ROM - want the full version now - i've finished it LOL

In applications - have you got Unknown Sources ticked?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
Sure I do - downloaded the APK from various sources but no luck.

Also tried to set language to English but also no luck. Also copied file to phone using USB instead of direct download, also no luck. All other APKs install fine!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pich78:
Thanks to Villain Guys for this wonderful rom!

Before this I've got VR12, but FV1.5 is faster and smoother!

Anyway I have a strange issue: when the phone stay with the screen off for some minutes, when I go to push the button to light the display, I see a very strange behaviour: all colours appeare in negative way ( a lot of red and green. ) If I turn off the screen, and turn on again, all goes ok.

I'm using kernel 729MHz without boot animation.

I have a question, too.

What are the differences from the kernel I've installed and Flykernel? Which are the pros and cons of the two?

Thank you!

Pich
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marka2k:
The color issue when waking up is due to the fact that the CPU is set to low (129-729) try the next step higher (258-729) not sure of the speed on the low end but you get the idea.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kinto92:
Same here... I'm getting a slow connection to the network or no connection at all... I already did a full wipe twice!

I'm using the latest radio. I might try other radios and see what happens.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] no1male:
Not deleted anything :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skydg:
last bit of last_kmsg... any ideas...?

Now on 245-652... encountered 2 types of auto reboots:

- radio app while screen off, rebooted when an sms came in.

- o/s hung when loading webpage/scrolling in opera mini and xscope, had to take out/put back battery.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Haizum74:
Yeh its one small gripe I can live without but if it could get fixed all the better. The main one is Bluetooth. That I need to send stuff.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vorcigernix:
Anyone else having issues with mp3 playback vs internet apps? It slowed my phone to oblivion on 7xx kernel. 6xx kernel helped little, but it is still much slower then usually.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robbo990:
Its just called Talk now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ropster:
Quick Question, I know CPUSpeed is built into Froyd, but a mate with a magic wants to use it and can find it on the market, is there somewhere to download it from?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OneTwoPi:
First; Kudos Team Villain!

Btw, I have this on occasions lately; However, I only started to notice this behavior in 1.5, and up until this (i.e since VR10.0) release I've used the 19-691 kernel with success. Could it be that some phones like 19-691 better than 129-691?

Now to the reason I stopped by here: In 1.5 when I wake up the phone, forget what I'm doing, screen goes off, I wake up again (rince-repeat... I'm easily distracted). Then, screen goes black. Phone is unresponsive for a while, then wakes up (sometimes with the inverted colors and orientation screwed up, e.g upside down). (Hard-?) button back light stays on all the while. Takes it 10-ish seconds and it's back working... but? why??

And; where do I enable wake on [home] + [menu]? I've sort of gotten used to it... and it sticks... maybe it's the double tapping to wake up which upsets my phone?

Edit: nevermind the last one. I figured it out ("villain settings")
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mdk001:
Yeah, I'll just quote myself again, can you people check if you have Quickoffice in your app drawer or not?

Since it shoudl be pre-installed on this rom yet not showing up for me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robbo990:
Not in the app drawer here
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mdk001:
Since it's not on the market, where can I find the apk to reinstall it properly?

It seems like the version included in this rom is some sort of stripped down version
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robbo990:
QuickOffice is appearing in the market here - $9.99
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] beliskner:
Cheers, i'll give that a go.

No, i think you mis-understand me. Vanilla Eclair 4 has a call screen with no on screen buttons until you press the physical menu button which then brings the screen on and you get all of the buttons you would need to bring up a dial pad, hold, speaker phone, etc. It totally resolves the face hold problem and actually is quite intuitive. I'd love to see it in FroydVillain if possible.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mdk001:
Weird, I don't seem to be able to find quickoffice in my market, unless it became "quick office suite connect"

I still wonder why we get an incomplete version in this rom... could I be able to grab the apk off an official Hero rom? I remember having it when I bought the phone, after all
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] newdecember:
check the APN settings as the username may be incorrect and password field was empty, i had to do this on my phone (using O2 Prepay APN)

search on XDA and you will find the settings you need to change
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hatim:
I hate the 3D gallery. It's too slow. Is there a 2D gallery app alternative? Something like HTC's photo app?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] withoutwings:
It's a wake-up issue on your Hero. Either change the sleep/screen-off governor to interactive or increase your minimum speed to 352.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
Quick Office, if I know right, is an app that comes for free with HTC Sense. So with a Vanilla Android (like every Froyo for Hero Roms), no QuickOffice.

I have bought Document to go, because I know that I prefer Vanilla Roms than Sense ones. So It is for me the (small) price for my choice. (There is also a free version AFAIK).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
Give a try to B&B Gallery.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OneTwoPi:
yeh, I got the wake-up issue. However so far (up until 1.5) I've used 19-691 kernel without any issues. This happens only when i repeatedly press the buttons, i.e. [menu] to wake unlock, but since it was disabled nothing happened. And, i guess my hero got confused :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 1sagain:
Random.... Problem

I'm not sure if anybody out there is getting this... but my hero running FV 1.5 has this occasional freezes.... it just crashes at w.e page or w.e I was doing... and it is stuck forcing me to pull the battery... anybody got any suggestions??

Any would be appreciated Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] artursc:
How can i get wired tether to work on XP??? After installing driver from guide it shows me Cannot start this hardware / HTC Remote NDIS device / This device cannot start Code 10.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
A freeze of screen completely? The charging indicator even stayed on after I disconnected it when it was crashed :p

I moved to a slower core and didn't have one since.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lynx2k50:
Wow after every reboot i'm loosing ~20% battery.

Whats going on?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CountC00l:
I'm not sure this is the right place for this post cause i've got this problem with another Froyo-rom too, but i'm not able to install a single app anymore.

I do not think this has anything to do with the market cause the apps do download, but refuse to install :(

This goes for install via PC

Also with Titaniumbackup

Unkown sources is ticked ON

I have an ext2 partition

Any ideas on this anyone ??

Edit: Ok, solved, SD was faulty :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
I would suggest to go with a lower CPU speed.

This Rom is coded in a newish way (in the Dalvik part) and get more operations from the CPU in one "turn" than an other Rom. So if there is an error coming from the CPU being overclocked, it freezes quicker.

Therefore I would suggest you, if you could have a 691Mhz from an other rom, to go with a safe 614Mhz. It brings the same speed.

The advantages: less battery drain, less overwarming. Equal (or even better?!) speed and snapiness feeling from your Hero. Isn't it nice?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mansn:
I have this issue as well. Usually while I am playing music and the screen rotates. Totally freezes my phone for minutes at a time. I am running the 652 kernel, but on earlier versions of Froyd I was successfully running the 729 kernel with no issues at all, so I don't think it's a hardware problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
is your EXT2 partition healthy? Perhaps you can try not using A2Sd and see if it works.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JimmYDice:
Trackball light

It is a very fast and stable ROM! Thank you! But I have one problem:

When I turn the screen off my trackball light turns on for a while. And I can't find a setting to disable this. Has anyone the same problem?

GreetZ

JimmY
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
We're aware of this and looking at the cause. Seems to be an app (possibly market) that doesn't cancel its notification correctly IIRC.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deadwilder:
i have problems with trackball too. i don't have IIRC app, but it seems that trackball lits also when phone enters roaming (with disabled data in roaming).

sometimes notification about lost data connection (in roaming) does not appear, so it is not possible to dismiss it and trackball keeps flashing.

//ed:

:D

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ropster:
IIRC is not an app it is internet short hand for "if i remember correctly"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CountC00l:
Nope, internal installation does also not work..

I also tried repeiring ext2 partition, to no sux6 :(

I restored an older Froyo-rom and that DID work !

Back to 1.5 and not working again :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] blackplatypus:
yeah me too when i was listening to music with cube3 player and surfing with default browser, using the latest 691mhz kernel, have to check with another kernel.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -Tommy:
I just installed FV 1.5.0 and discovered a problem, I can't sync Facebook. Any fix for this I have overlooked?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chibani:
Same here. My phone freezes while listening to music for a while (more than 30min).

Also, my phone freezes while playing some games...

And with Froyd 1.4 it didn't
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Freezing

Afternoon all,

I was having the freezing issue as well, i booted in the recovery image and wiped the dalvik cache and it sorted it out. The release notes mentioned there have been optimisations there so the current cache is probably stale for want a of a better word.

hope that helps.

Andy
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
To sync contacts, after flashing and connecting to google account, the safe way generaly is to wait for all your contacts being imported.

Then open the Facebook app, connect, and under "settings" set it right to sync with your contacts.

Then go to android "settings"/"accounts and sync", and check if Facebook is well syncing.

This is basis, but if you already did all that, you've got a problem that most don't. And maybe somebody who know better than me could find a solution. (Including rebooting, retrying, rewiping, reflashing, etc.)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tom C.:
Cannot connect to WPA2 Enterprise

Still have to say, that I am NOT able to connect with this ROM to a "WPA2 Enterprise" protected WLAN! :(

Yesterday I thought, that there was maybe a problem during the flash process, but I wiped everything and flashed again, but today I am still not able to connect to the WLAN at my office ...

Can someone PLEASE confirm that this is a bug in FroydVillain or (vice versa) that you can connect to a WPA2 Enterprise (not pre-shared key!) protected WLAN?

Thank you!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -Tommy:
Thank you! The Facebook App was set to "don't sync".
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cault:
Hi,

excellent ROM, I cannot think to switch back to 2.1 anymore.

I have some issues though:

- battery life has been really poor: my phone has been unplugged for around 7 hours now and I have lost 34% of battery without doing much (1 reboot, 20MB downloaded over wifi). Screen is at 20% according to juiceplotter. It seems that the screen is draining all battery (in battery usage)

- some apps seems to launch alone: in taskkiller, I have titanium backup or some other app (with no widget installed) launching without me touching anything...:confused:

Keep up the good work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] angerfist2009:
Ok while i sorted the facebook problem i now have two other really annoying problems.

As others have mentioned handcent lags really bad for me when recieving messages and when i am opening the program itself. Also a good few times the phone has just rebooted itself for no reason. I am running kernal 691 no boot screen.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lynx2k50:
I hope someone can help me.

Is it possible to replace the "phone.apk" (system/app) with the *.apk from dailer one with root explorer? Only using DailerOne and love it.

When yes, where can i get the dailerone.apk and is it possible to update it with the android market?

best regards.

Found the apk:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bbogdann:
I found a bug.....handsfree doesn't work......

very good rom...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maharifu:
Hi, I use a WPA2 Enterprise protected WLAN at work and I can connect just fine, using FroydVillain 1.5.0. What error, if any, are you getting? And could you connect to the same network using another rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Big_Noid:
Using different froyd roms for 2 weeks now. Everything works ok, only showstopper are the constant random reboots, anybody having the same problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tom C.:
Gotcha! Ignore my mail -can connect now. Seems that Titanium backup didn't work 100 percent during restore :O

Anyway: Thank you for your response!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] descenpet:
try flashing a slower kernel
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spookhc:
Set the minimum cpu frequency to 352Mhz and the offscreen adjustment method to Conservative.It helped for me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ArchaosAngel:
is there any way to disable vibration when unlocking phone? thanks. LOVE THE ROM TTM! haha
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
Very nice, I didn't know this was possible in the Facebook app, thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zebwen:
Apologies if anyone has asked this before, but does anyone know how I can put the keyboard back to how it was in VR1.4? It no longer asks me if I want to add words, or gives me the option to add punctuation after putting in a space? Anyone know how to fix this? Or does anyone know a way to put the HTC standard keyboard back on? (I love the compact qwerty)?

Zeb

Edit: OK, this was because the default keyboard was set to the Vlingo one. Long key press in the text input field and you can set it to the Android one which does the punctuation thing correctly. I have set the HTC_IME mod as the default keyboard and this is perfect for me now :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
understood but mis-remembered :-)

cool feature, would be nice, but I don't think it's how froyo works? not sure if it CAN work that way though. froyo has a cool lock option in the dialer screen but I'm not convinced it works correctly any more in the cm6 stuff we're based upon. it did way way back in the alpha stages of cm6 for hero.... and it was cool. that lock icon would appear in middle of screen and even though you could see all of those buttons they were locked so it was fine to hold to your face. you'd then ahve to double tap or drag or something on that icon to get it to unlock again, a really nice way of doing things. I still see the lock icon appear on my phone but it doesn't seem to lock anything, and it's been that way for quite some time in recent froyo roms for the hero.

so imho that feature is currently borked. But for those of us who remember back to the test0 rom for the gsm hero (which I still have kicking around here somewhere), that feature I think worked perfectly, so for you froyd devs (that's you hacre ninpo :-) it might be worth looking into in the future sometime.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
DTG is also a WAY better application - you can author word and excel files with it!?!?!? a full portable MS office compatible toolchest.

amazing - by FAR the best office for android or in fact for any platform imho (well I haven't used windows mobile I admit...)

good choice there. I use it also.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
which shows in market as "multi touch gallery" by the way... it only shows as B&B gallery after you install it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
Hello Hi, Currently I 'm having VillainROM 10.2 & i wanna try FroydVillain 1.5.0 I am having App2sd ..does it still need App2sd Method or i can move Apps from internal memory to Memory card just like the original Froyo ? :)

It requires full wipe including Ext- Partition ? ^^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
correction (if I may): dramatically better performance, not equal at all. run a demanding app like raging thunder 2 on this rom @ 614MHz. then play the same app on a different froyo rom @ 710 or 729MHz. you'll find froyd is faster even @ 100MHz lower clock speed. at least I did, consistently.

of course by now other devs are no doubt trying to build roms off of the froyd core so that difference will disappear pretty soon hahaha
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I haven't experienced this yet, although I'm not saying it won't happen eventually if it turns out to be a common bug.

I'm using 691 now too since with juice I've found myself running the phone for 2 days now without a recharge (complete with game playing for hours and it's my music player through the workday as well). so I don't need to clock down to 614 or lower any more to get great battery life :-)

fwiw I'm currently trying otu the free version of mixzing for a couple of days to see how it performs. meridian's really good too but I'm trying to decide the pros/cons of each music player since music is my 2nd job.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zebwen:
Another question, has anyone yet worked out how to set your own contact image in a way that will make it show up in the messaging app etc?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
never use titanium backup to restore system settings. only if you're using EXACTLY the same rom that you had running when you backed up your system settings in the first place... which kind of defeats the purpose of the feature imho...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] erasmux:
EDIT: Nevermind, pulser has answered me....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
ah, well I saw it once but was told I had to memorize and destroy the copy I saw, very spy-sensitive stuff I would imagine.

but my memory is terrible so if that's the only copy then I'm afraid it's gone forever unless someone decides to do a futuristic MRI-based memory read of my brain!

Now for the truth of it, you'll have to talk to the boss - I don't know how it works since I believe a large part of the improvements are outside of the kernel itself.

edit: never mind, pulser has answered him :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
Hi,

Just wanna ask, after calibrating my battery according to this guide, do we charge the battery to full while the phone is turned on, or do we always have to charge the battery while the phone is off?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shields398:
how the bloody hell do you get 2 days?? i did the battery cali thing the other night on 691 kernel, switched to 614 yesterday. unplugged at 6.32 this morning had music on through headphones from 8 till 2.15 and 2 25min calls... got 3% batt left?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
juice defender (free version) plus running an actual functioning manually-activated task killer that actually works properly on froyo to kill non-vital apps when I stop playing a game or other app that I've learned from experience doesn't actually quit when I tell it to (and eats cpu) such as void defence pro.

But even without the manual task killing combined with experience and some knowledge of what I'm doing, just quitting apps by using the back button (to actually quit them) instead of leaving them using the home button (which leaves apps running in background until android decided to kill them based on complex logic sometime in the future) is the biggest thing to remember. oh and I use conservative govnr with screen off.

And even the free version of juice defender has done wonders for my screen-off sleeping battery life. it goes down worst case 2% every hour. worst case. if it goes down faster than that it's because some app is running which is evil and you have to learn how to find and destroy that app :-)

remember though the 2%/hour is with free version of juice defender. it's typically more like 1.5%/hour though.

of course screen on use is way higher... but keeping screen at reasonable brightness and using interactive governor is pretty effective here too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zebwen:
Is anyone else having a problem where, when go to unlock my phone (by pressing the power button) the lockscreen flashes up, then the screen immediately goes blank again (but the button lights are still on). I have to wait a few seconds then push the power button again to light up the screen once more and unlock the phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] theodore80:
Did anybody notice that after moving applications to SD that market links break (can't see my apps in the download section).

Any workaround?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shields398:
ahh right ok cheers for the info!. i'll try juice defender now, which task killer are you using btw?. im using interactive for screen off at the mo its the only way i can run 176mhz, it'll only run at 352 on conservative, is there any reason behind this btw?

cheers!
