first of all congratulations for your great work, I tested with HD video, and seen that there is lag, stops and pauses in the playback of it, this has a solution?, greetings and thanks by the way my card class 6 so this should not be the reason
[Desire Android Development] SlavaS_71:
When will the new rom?
[Desire Android Development] nprussell:
I'll be looking at re-releasing both ROMs this weekend, with a series of small fixes to perfect the builds.

Overlay, will of course be removed.

I will also be working on a couple of experimental speed tweaks, which will be released as optional updates.
[Desire Android Development] Von Ropen:
It would be great...!!!!!!!:D
[Desire Android Development] focallength:
Looking forward to this myself. Two questions. I'm all s-off'd and full root etc, but will your future ROMs require this as a prerequisite?

Also What is overlay and what does removing it do?

Sorry for the (perhaps obvious to some) questions.
[Desire Android Development] Lennyuk:
No roms will require you have S-OFF but if you do you can just edit files while booted using adb or root explorer.

System overlay was a way to do this when we had S-ON, however it was a dirty hack that didn't play nice on everyone's phones.
[Desire Android Development] focallength:
Many thanks for the education. *tips hat*
[Desire Android Development] ANDYx1975:
Awesome work...love this Rom. Fast and incredible small. Just noticed one bug...I need to enable cb messages in phone settings...so that I do not receive anymore those strange sms. But each time I reboot...I have to make this setting again. It does not store my settings.

Great ROM indeed.

I was looking for one like this.

Fast, stable, more battery life and no SENSE UI.

Thanks guys!
[Desire Android Development] code72:
No SENSE UI? Are you sure? ;)
[Desire Android Development] Madeli:
I want to try this rom... but i just need to know someting first ;)

System R/W access - overlay method..... is there a way to remove this? I have s-off already so i dont want it.
[Desire Android Development] pulser_g2:
I believe any S-Off version will be made available for people in your case.
[Desire Android Development] pulser_g2:
Present for your Saturday evening, folks :)

OP updated with a zip to return font to stock if you flash another one onto the ROM, and one to enable wakeup on OJ and power button.

Enjoy.

tried it for about half an hour but cant see any difference between this and the other 15+ sense ROMs in here, I thought this was supposed to be a development thread
[Desire Android Development] mikecoffee:
Beanbean50 are you trying to suggest that nprussell isn't a Dev and www.villainrom.co.uk isn't a dev site.... nprussell the man him self who has done so much for the community!

Are you suggesting that villain team are win zip experts with members like ninpo aka harce and pulser and lennyuk.

Beanbean50 who post such helpful posts

"has anyone tried the S-off hack on 7.6.1 yet?

from what I've been reading it seems like there's a 50-50 chance of bricking your phone

(I don't like odds like that...!)

I think I'll wait a week or two until the odds get better or if neo can make it safer to try..?"

"I think TAT stands for Talk And Talk coz that's all they ever do...all talk and no action...!"

WTF have you contributed to this community, i don't where you have the cheek to make statements like that.

How about actually adding something useful to the community.

GRRRRR
[Desire Android Development] acolwill:
This is a ROM release thread.

This is a development thread.

If you feel there is no "difference between this and the other 15+ sense ROMs in here" then feel free to leave.

No-one asked you to flash this ROM, your so-called input is not required.
[Desire Android Development] beanbean50:
@mikecoffee

I wasn't suggesting that the Villain guys aren't great developers, in fact I think they are a fantastic and have been following their progress for many months.

That's why I felt so disappointed with this ROM release as it is exactly the same as all the others

(can you really deny that?)

and why are you digging through my posts trying to find something? this isn't about me it's about the ROM, that is something only a child (or child-like) would do...lol

mobile network not working

I installed Villainrom on my desire today with the latest radio.

everything is great but my mobile network is having problems. when i turn it on, it turns on immediately, BUT the sign does not show up on the notification bar, therefore i get no internet. under Mobile Networks (when checked) it says "Use phone for data connection when Wi-Fi is unavailable". when i check it it doesnt even say "turning on" like it does under wifi, it immediately says "Use phone for data...".

I will be grateful for any help
[Desire Android Development] ckpv5:
What you need is maybe the "APN" which is not in the ROM.
[Desire Android Development] goddlike:
How do I get the APN? is there a link where i can download it from?
[Desire Android Development] echohack:
Search for your providers APN on google. Like this "T-mobile APN. Just an example. Replace T-mobile with your carriers. Then on your phone go to settings - wireless & networks - mobile networks - access point names and put them in.

I think this is right :)

just installed the villainRom and it all looked like it was going on alright, but its been stuck on the matrix stylie boot screen for a good half an hour now. and I'v tried a couple of other roms today, (colourrom and leedroid) colourrom worked but wasnt what I was after and the leedroid just caused a bootloop at the magenta circle, so all I want to know really is if its something obvious that I've missed along the way, or shall I just grit my teeth and keep trying.
[Desire Android Development] Paelcolp:
I have tried and re-tried to get this ROM working but it's my first time trying this so I must be missing something.

I rooted my phone using the latest unrevoked method, and that worked fine.

I was able to back my phone up successfully and restore the backup with no issues. I installed the latest radio image (32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27.zip) (at least I think I did. The phone rebooted just fine after that anyway) and then tried loading VillainROM and my phone just hangs on the white HTC screen. I've let it sit for 30+ minutes and it never goes anywhere.

What am I missing!? Help!

I'm using a USC HTC Desire running 2.1 currently.

Hi,

I have my sgs about 2 months and I'm very happy with it. The only problem I have is, that sometimes there are strange displayinterferences.

It looks like there are moving waves from top to down.

Does anybody have this troubles too and has a solution for it?

Or is it an hardware error? The problem is that the error isn't reproducable.

Maybe somebody can help me, please!

Thanks in advance

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huxflux2003:
I think I have also noticed that once or twice. I believe it can be seen when you have the android drop down menu (notifications etc) open and you start or stop WiFi. It must be some kind of interferance with wifi hardware. Normal wifi operation does not cause it, only the startup of the WiFI which lasts one second or so.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyro5:
Yeah, i think this could be true. I also see it often, when I open die Notification bar. But I also have the same interferences, when I am working in apps. Maybe also the 3G connection could be the reason? Does anybody else have this problem.

Is this a problem, which I have to life with or could this be an error of the hardware(warranty)?

I have the same problem. Never on wifi tho.

Which firmware are you using?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyro5:
Hi,

my firmware is I9000AUJF1(A1 branded from Austria). I don't know if the problem in your posted thread is the same. The interferences I mean only exist one or two seconds. There are horizontal dark lines which moves from top to the bottom. After some time everything is OK again. It looks like anything interfers the display(wifi, 3g?).

The problem of warranty is, that I'm not able to show the problem, because it's not reproducable.

Screen flickering under WiFi data transfer

I noticed this problem a couple of days ago.

Whenever there is some data transfer going on over WiFi, wherever I am browsing or some service syncs up the screen starts flickering and I have what I can describe as faint scan lines crossing the screen vertically like there is some sort of interference.

These are mostly noticeable on white and light grey backgrounds.

I have gone trough 2 firmware updates currently being on stock JPK rooted.

I have searched around on google and found on some forum one guy that was saying the cause is an interference between the WiFi module and the screen refresh rate.

Has anybody encountered this problem or these symptoms ?

Is there somebody around more knowledgeable in this issues that can confirm that this is a hardware problem ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
wow! :eek: , you might have a defective phone then.

I use WiFi very often, Wireless N at aprox 87 Mbps

that should be high enough to reproduce the problem you experienced, if i had a faulty screen

the description of the scan line reminds me of interference when you are in close proximity with another LCD or CRT screen causing the distortion field
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cantIntoCode:
OMG, I get this too. Usually happens on boot or when I'm browsing a data heavy website or using Android market. Are our phone defective? Does anyone else have this problem? I wonder how common it is.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
does the scan line comes from bottom up

or goes from top to bottom?

very slowly or fast?

if you are pluged in and charging, also are you in a 120v or 240v?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cantIntoCode:
They tend to be random and I'm on battery power atm. Also they're quite fast but don't last very long. They'll start then stop then start etc ..

Hi,

just for your information. I've sent my phone to samsung on friday. Maybe they find the error. I report, if there are new information.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m3s_4ev3r:
Yep i have the same problem. Can t find the source though....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] segun_aduba:
The lines appear from top and travel the screen fast.

Imagine a TV who for a second has problem with reception.

I am on 240 V.

Also the issue is much more noticeable when not plugged in.

If I have the phone plugged in its barely noticeable.

I will try to call the service and ask about this issue. I have a strong feeling that this is a hardware issue. But Besides the screen being defective I also think about the battery. Maybe when in high load (WiFi) it's voltage varies and affects the screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] segun_aduba:

If this is a hardware issue Samsung should replace my phone. I am waiting though a little bit before calling the service to make sure that it is a hardware problem.

If I find that it can easily be fixed with a software fix, it's not worth the hassle of trying to replace it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:

Look at my video.

Hi everyone

My device also had serious screen flickering issue when turn wifi on as you can see in the video above. It occured every time I turn the wifi on. So I decided to record the video before I brought to Samsung Service to see what samsung technician would say. Until now, I have brought my device to the service 5 times now just for this case and I'm not so happy with Samsung's quality.

At the first time, the technician surprised by what I shown him and he said he would figure it out what cause the problem.

Within an hour, I get my device back from the technician. He said that it was the connector of the screen that didn't firmly connect to the mainboard. So he fixed and return it to me. I used it for just one day and the problem returned.

Second time, I left my device at the service for 2 days and the technician replaced mainboard for me and he said that that should fix the problem. I brought it back and use it for just 2 days and the problem returned but not as much frequent as the first time. But I thought that I should bring back to the service.

Third time, the technician said that he had only and last solution to change the screen for me if the problem still exist. He ordered the part and called me back yesterday when the part arrived. Now my phone have new mainboard and new screen. But I don't know whether the issue will come back or not. Hopefully it will not. I'm so tired of it.

I will keep you guys update of what will happen to my device.

Thank for reading

The Zune HD Has this problem, and it was believed to be caused by the WIFI + OLED screen power draw.

I'm not entirely sure what it was that was doing it, but whenever there was WIFI activity, the scan lines would appear on the OLED screen. Maybe Samsung need to do better with their power management to the components?
