Just to update, the screen actually goes blank when I TOUCH it to slide-unlock the phone. Interestingly, if I keep sliding (despite the screen being off) it still vibrates as if it ahs been unlocked, but the screen doesn't come on.

Anyone got any ideas? This is quite annoying :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xtkme:
Try clearing all the market's data and cache...

Settings --> Applications --> Manage applications --> All --> Find the Market app and clear all those

if have random "gapps framework" FCs. i tried to flash the newest gapps from the cyanogen wiki, but it didn't help. I had the same issue with elelinux rom.. before i flashed froyd, i did a full wipe and partitioned the sd.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
it's called "task killer" by developer "ReChild". it's fully manual (create a shortcut on your home). first time you have to checkmark stuff intelligently, after that it gets less important as it automatically leaves your unchecked stuff unchecked (don't kill) and checks anything new to it (new apps or wahtever) which most of the time is fine.

if I get a few minutes and people care I'll list what I uncheck as I've foudn those items to be autorestarting (so why kill them) or obviously vital (part of os/launcher).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
and don't use that froyo-style apps2sd, it's crap. use the ext-style apps2sd, everything just works with it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fongfc:
set the min frequency to 352Mhz:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
Oh Come On Guys , Tell me Someone is it still required App2sd Or not? & I Can able to see Chinese Characters if someone sends me Chinese Message ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
You do not need apps2sd but it is supported if you have it.

I believe Chinese language is supported, as I think I see it in the language list down at the bottom.

Try it out, I think it will work for you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
@ pulser_g2

All Right Thanks Bro, So, i don't need 2 remove EXT - Partition . just wipe it & leave it right .. Thanks Once Again i am gonna give a try .. & later i'll post my reviews .. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Andy:
Still no joy, I'm not too fussed about it. Its still a great phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liljom:
does anybody else experience auto brightness issue at wake up?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] flangematic:
Anybody else having problems with arcmedia or rockplayer force closing when trying to play avi files?

Apart from that minor niggle this rom is motoring like a good un.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] daviidv:
Hello, i like this rom very much, its needed to wipe my data before flashing 1.5, now i use 1.4.4 a want to keep my data? thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robbo990:
I just went over the top - just wiped battery, rotate and dalvik

No problems here
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zebwen:
Thanks for the tip, hope this works because sometimes I can't even unlock the phone to answer a call!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
Help me , while i was flashing . later it has been stuck when i was typing for my Gmail account , i just wrote my username and then it stuck there , it has been almost 5 mintues .. nothing is working .. i tried once back button but also didnt work .. and light also won't turn off .. :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robbo990:
Just take the battery out and try again

If you've used a high clock frequency kernel - try a lower one
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
is it okay to take the battery out ?

noah i just downloaded - FroydVillain 1.5.0
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JimmYDice:
I have "Cachemate" and the "Advanced Task Cleaner 2.0" installed. Before I turn the screen off I clean the cache and cancel all non-system apps. Market is also be cancelled...

Anyway, I don't have any other issues with this ROM running the 691 kernel!!! It's damn fast!!! And I didn't have a force close or freeZe anytime! It is running and running and running! It's the best ROM I've ever used!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] robbo990:
Shouldn't be a problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
Thanks Bro, :) i got really scared but removing battery that worked ,, :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bbogdann:
what's the best kernel and frequency regarding battery life and with no reboot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DSF:
First when I saw the thread I was thinking this must be a good ROM. But honestly.. this is the worst ROM I ever tried.

The device becomes unstable after a while (5-10mins?) when I'm listening to music and do different stuffs. Last time when it got unstable (and had to pull off battery) was when I was looking in Settings menu while listening to music.

And the browsing experience is terrible in comparison to my previous ROM (Vanilla Eclair 2.1): laggy pinch to zoom, laggy scrolling, etc.

Etc ..

And it doesn't feel faster than Android 2.1 for eg. Maybe many of you have a placebo effect.. anyway..

Edit: I did WIPE data, dalvik-cache

I've tested with 691MHz & 576MHz kernels

PS: As a simple photos album application I recommend Large Image Viewer. It's quite fast on rendering images at full quality (not on scrolling between pictures thumbs though)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
slower's always better. reboots are typically only if you overclock too high or have some other issue.

so go with the stock kernel for best battery life and set screen off to conservative in cpuspeed (and make sure cpuspeed is enabled and it's lower speed is 123MHz and leave screen on governor to the default of "interactive")

if you get wake up issues (funny looking screen sometimes) then increase the lower speed in screen off (if possible in that app) or in screen on or more likely change screen off governor to interactive instead of conservative.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
you probably have the default setting in privacy of google backup restoring your apps from your vanilla 2.1 rom's settings previously. that's what used to happen to most of us. you ahve to wait for a good while (and hour or two) in any froyo rom where that's happening, then reboot, for it to get up to speed.

and don't use the stock music app imho, it's a cpu eater. I can currently recommend mixzing free version as a nice light weight very stable music app that so far suffers no glitches and causes no slowdowns after 3 hours of constant use (but it does use battery.... 20% in teh past 3 hours mostly from mixzing, but then I'm using it's built in eq etc which will eat more battery).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
cool, never heard of that app. I recommend "multi touch gallery" which installs as b&b gallery, others like "just pictures!" although I find it slower than mtg. will try your suggestion too out of curiosity though.

my previous post is hopefully helpful about your performance issues, good luck!

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ArchaosAngel:
i flashed the rom. installed many apps. then rebooted. now it gets stuck on the hero screen. what should i do? thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Check adb logcat and tell us what it's doing...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Izzien:
Thanks for an awsome rom :D loving it,

HAve one problem tho, i might be a noob and done somet wrong but here goes.

When im trying to send MMS's they wont send they are stuck on sending..

anyone know what the issue might be?

afaik ive set it up right
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toxic-hero:
i prefer photo burst over those two but it's not a free app. check and decide what suits you most...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ssamoht_tom:
Great ROMs! Thanks for your brilliant work!

I have a problem with Froyd 1.5.0 (that I already had with 1.4.X) :

When I turn the GPS on (via SwitchPro for example) and then open Google Maps (or GPS Status, or whatever uses the GPS), the data connection switches off... (weird, right ?). And it can't be turned on after that (although the data connection is still enabled in the settings). I have to reboot to make it work again.

Do you know how to fix this problem?

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Not seen this before. Are you using the latest radio version?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ssamoht_tom:
Yes, I have the latest radio version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shields398:
cheersa for that Don! only just had time now to set it all up, could you write the list of what you kill pritty please? :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
today i flashed it. I must tell ROM Is awesome.. reallly some cool features .. i am quite happy with that but it has been already freeze twice .. once while i was sign into Gmail account it was completely freezed for that i have had to remove battery but now again it freezed .. i was using it like 2 hours constantly and latter when i started Music player it freezed .. and again i had to remove battery .. any solution for this ?:confused: :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
sure :-)

Well it's actually the "no kill" list I'll give you (teh stuff that I've unchecked in the list) since the "kill" list changes depending on what you just ran.

no kill (* are the obvious ones you shouldn't kill):

*google service framework (ya think?)

vlingo voice

beautiful widgets (or any widget you've installed that shows on the list of course)

klaxon (my alarm clock)

timeriffic (not that I use it right now, but you get the concept here I think... a service I actually use so I don't want it killed)

juiceplotter (if you are a hacre fan)

news and weather (no point killing it and I use it too)

*calendar storage

droid essentials (the free headphone icon thingy I like to use)

smooth calendar (another widget I use)

messaging

it seems smart enough to not kill Launcher pro, as I never see it in the list. but if you see it, uncheck it obviously.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
Total of five total freezes today. Something must be going on. Never had these in previous Froydvillains or any rom before and i'm running at 614 instead of 653. Since multiple people are reporting the same thing I believe it's not a hardware issue causing this. If anybody else also had some please report!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
did you get any debug information after rebooting again to send to the developers?

that might be helpful for them to help solve the issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
+1 same here, reported by multiple users already.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
I'm a newbie in debugging. How should I recover the logs? I'll be happy to report anything back to improve this great rom :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] flangematic:
I also had the freezing problems. Followed the advice in previous posts about setting minimum could speed to 352 and all is now well.

Very nice rom just wish I could get avi files to play.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
Interesting, did you use 123 when it happened? I've been using that with all Froyd and it always worked fine. I'll set it to 176 now and see if it improves, to find the lowest stable speed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] flangematic:
Was set at 123 but the phone didn't completely freeze. It just took some time 'waking up'.

Now using the unclocked kernel and the phone is still loads faster than with the stock 2.1 firmware. Very happy today.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Haizum74:
I also recommend floating image for pics and 3 cubed for music.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] flangematic:
Apparently the rockplayer and arcmedia problems are reported on the villainrom site. I think it's a problem in the rom as divx played ok on stock 2.1 and villainrom 12.

have to wait and see if a fix is planned.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Calistoga:
Today on my way home, the battery on my Hero went from 56% to 1% in about 30 minutes. I didn't notice until I was at home. The phone was also very, very hot. As in far too overheated.

I rebooted it and connected it to the charger, everything seems too be back to normal.

Max kernel is 691, the phone can run 729 without problems too, so I don't think the OC is the problem. I was unable to receive a call earlier today because the screen was too laggy. No big deal since all I had to do was phoning back, but still.

The governor etc is set to the recommended values for screen on/off.

I can say one thing for sure, I'm not leaving this ROM. It's far too awesome.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Haizum74:
Yeh same thing here, its done it after sending a text and using the internet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Timmac:
Ok, getting a strange problem whereby the phone will lag like mad and the music playing will as well. Only seems to happen when listening to music, I'm using spotify.

I then go to cpu speed and it seems to be stuck at the bottom of the table, so at 123 basically...seemed to have fixed it for now by bringing the lowest speed up but this merks my battery.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Edit: and ive also had some of the aforementioned reboots. I'm using a no bootscreen kernel.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Darknoon:
Thx Ninpo and all the team !!! My Hero is so excited this morning ! :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
thanks a lot! GPS was the first thing i tested and got 11/11 satellites in 10 seconds. I think i'm going to stay with this.

btw my phone didnt wake up once it went to sleep on 122(?) mhz and i had to pull the battery out. Now with 176/691 everything is OK.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Noppes123:
Great work Villain team! Downloading now...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
wow, it's insanely fast, if only i could connect to my gmail account :/

it's a no no on wifi or edge for now

i fully wiped as always, so i'll retry again and again
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
CPUSpeed doesn't let me choose any screen off frequencies, is that normal?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lisdeni:
Thanks. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
speaking as a minion, congrats hacre, brilliant work of course.

booting into it now (from 1.4.9.3 post alpha pre beta mark 2??)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Can I has the original vanilla Android theme?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Yes,it`s normal!

SUPERB JOB DONE

(no, my CAPS lock is not broken :D )

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Which kernel was causing the trouble? You might have been using one too fast for your phone.

No issues here on 691
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] trasig:
i tried both 691 and 652 and both same ;/ running fly on 691 no probs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] salski:
Just flashed the rom and the GPS works perfectly (quickly locked in ~10s). Had to change the apn type as was suggested in the OP. Before with previous version it didn't locka at all.

Also, previous problems with HTC remote control/handsfree set are now gone. Works perfectly.

Thank you for this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davel*:
Flashed this ROM. Awesome!

Can safely say that Gps now works brilliantly. Got 9/9 within a minute and the ROM itself is roastingly quick.

Nice one guys!

great rom. i have flashed loads of custom roms before but never bothered with kernals is it really worth it? and how do i install a kernal is it the same as a rom e.g wipe anf flash from sd?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Haizum74:
How do you go about getting these debug reports so we can post em up here? O have seen folk mention it but not got a clue. I am sure other folk would might like to know and would help the devs rather than getting 'my x doesnt work'

EDIT just plugged in charger and LED flashing and battery not showing animation. All roms been great so far but this one seems a little buggy compared
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
adb pull /proc/last_kmsg, and then post the file as attachment (might need zipped up)

Perhaps it seems buggy, but when you are getting the types of optimisations we're talking about here, it takes a lot of test data to get fixes made.

These fixes will be offered upstream too when ready.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jkmoogle:
Just another note, setting my minimum cpu speed to 352 resolves the screen turning on at full brightness with conservative governor. And since changing this, no major battery hit either, took off charge at 100% roughly 25 hours ago, battery's now at 68% with reasonable wifi usage throughout the day, seems to be doing better than stock 2.1 did for me! Saying that, i only had that flashed for 4 days before i got the itch again and onto custom ROMs again!

Edit - I have been playing with the camera today... FCs at loading VERY rarely. Happened twice today out of maybe... 30 tries though so I thought I'd mention it. Seems to be random, can't replicate it with anything specific going on, so might be difficult to troubleshoot. Also only rarely have access to my own PC and can't setup adb on my work mac to get logs on all these minor troubles i'm getting. I'll post up a bulk log for everything one day! Still the most stable ROM I've probably ever used though. :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Banton:
Hi,

My first post on this ROM so can I start off by saying this ROM is the best. Stability, UI, speed everything. I've migrated from sense and there's no looking back for me.

I have a quick question about this ROM. Has anyone been experiencing problems adding widgets. I'm finding that not all of my widget applications that I have installed are showing up when I long press and select widget.

Any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pich78:
All is fantastic with this rom. I have a question: I really appreciated the copy&cut system in VillainRom12: fantastic!

Is there a way to have the same here or it's only for SENSE interface?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cptblubear:
anyone got a mirror to the vanilla theme for this, I do prefer the theme that comes in the new Froyo but I prefer to theme myself and there are quite a lot of things changed in the theme that comes with it that I like normal.

Although great rom so far, very fast and I think I might have had 1 crash using metamorph but that's all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JimmYDice:
Same problem^^

Hey Banton!

I've had the same problem... First I thought it is a problem with the ROM, but no it isn't! Remove the Apps you want to see the widgets you want to set on the homescreen from your phone again. Then go to "Settings -> Villain Settings -> Application settings -> Install location. Then you choose "Internal". Now install your apps and you will find every widget in the list. I don't know why the apps have to be installed in internal memory. This is how I fiXed the problem. I hope I could help you with this.

Another advice: After you disabled the USB connection with your PC (if you want to put music or something on your SD card) don't freak out because the apps installed on external memory are away in the "Apps Drawer". The ROM needs just a few seconds to scan the SD card. After this scan the apps on external are back! ;-)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gage_Hero:
First gotta say Team Villain this rom rocks!!! Another excellent release!!

Now for all the other people.....

Slow repsonse time .... run the 123-614 kernel cpuspeed 123 sleep and 614 awake

Battery....... I installed 1.5 last night around 8:00 @88% been running now 7pm next day and still 49% this is with dl apps, keeping network on, playing with gps and making phone calls... no task manager at ALL.

GPS ...... just works like a damn thx Ninpo

On 1.4.4 I got like 4 days out of 1 charge nothing fancy running no task manager and I expect I will get the same from this rom or close to it.

I'd say we are damn lucky to have these guys making such great roms... btw read the thread.... all the questions ive read have been answered atleast twice....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Just thought I'd share my battery experience. After my last post of, I think 32 hrs and bat still at 71% I made the mistake of allowing my nieces to play games. They played for about 2 hrs and killed my battery. I charged while off, added an extra hr of charging and then rebooted. I am now at 40 hrs, battery at 48%. Wifi or bluetooth on 24/7 (a few hrs both were on at the same time). Minimal use otherwise. 5 or so short calls. 6 or 7 emails. 3 or 4 texts.

Of course I know that more intensive use of the phone will kill the battery much faster but it's nice to know that I can keep it alive for a couple of days if I have to.

Stock kernel by the way. For my use there is no need to overclock. I would suspect that most people overclocking don't really need to but only do it cuz they think the phone will be faster.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phlash73:
Hey guys, thanks for another great release!! :)

The rain was great up at Shuswap so I got to play in the mud a bit more than I expected, and when I got home, lo and behold 1.5.0 was out! This rom seems to be running fantastic for me o far. My battery times seem to be only slightly worse than 1.4.4, but that may be because I'm playing with it more, trying out these cool new features. GPS is now running like a hot damn, inside, outside, moving, everywhere! Everything else seems to be running great, or has been resolved (sometimes multiple times) over that last 59 pages already :p

Fantastic work guys, and Ninpo, hope you're enjoying a much deserved break from all the long hours you've been putting in!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ~David:
Wubing this ROM on my Hero right now :o

GPS does work - insanely - well. It locks onto all visible sats in a split second. I haven't noticed any battery issues personally, but have had the full-brightness bug (solved by changing the clock speeds).

I just got a Desire today, but I will be keeping my Hero for some time and will be keeping it updated with the latest FroydVillain :)

OH, and I used Navigation (properly) for the first time today... What TTS voice package does this ROM come with? It's unbelievable! It sounds WAY better than the package GMaps usually gets you to download and has a huge dictionary.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
An issue I keep getting that I also keep forgetting to mention: Several times I have closed an application or completed an activity, for example I just completed a phone call, and my screen seem to go into a reboot loop. The screen will go blank - all except the notification bar - and then come back on, but with no icons, and then repeat the process (hence the term loop). The only way out of seems to be to reboot the phone.

Anyone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] salski:
One note about notification lights. It seems wrong that the jog ball blinks for every type of notification. For example, I have tasker notification icon all the time and therefore the jog ball blinks all the time. Quite annoying I must say.

I think it would be better that "ongoing" notifications should not make the jog ball blink, or something more clever.

Apart from the jog ball lights and random reboots (I've attached 2 kmgs to this topic) the ROM works fine. Haven't seen this speed even with the stock roms. Thanks.
