Guys, I was missing you.....

I thought I am never ever going to flash villainrom since I found floyo the best, but my feelings didn't allow....

So, wanted to give it a try.. so guys.. hope you will remain in my phone..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Do "su" first, to get root :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Umm... But I don't use a taskiller, cos it's so fast, and I don't use OC, as it's faster at 576 non-OC'd, though IIRC at 691 it should be getting ~5 or 5.1 on linpack.

Isn't quadrant more designed for devices with graphics capabilities? Just that I've not seen it used much on hero. Call me old fashioned, but I liked linpack where it was a pretty simple Mflops score :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Very nice ROM,smooth and fast!

But what about provider lockscreen bug,was fixed at Froyd Villain 1.5!

Froyd 1.6.0:

You know what I mean?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] HoundDK:
WB guys!

Okay so I moved on to DHD, but I gotta try VR 1.6. It's 2.2.1 for crying out loud! :)

Unfortunately my Hero suffered from a touch problem, and came back from service with vanilla 2.1 FW. And I have no idea how to root it.. :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
pulser - your right apps2sd is working.... titanium backup just cant see it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wooky321:
no vibration on receiving texts

Great rom but only problem is i am getting no vibration when receiving a text. I tried messing around with the settings but no luck. I had this problem with 1.5.0 too. I changed to cyanogens 6.01 (i think) and it worked fine. Any way to solve this? Thankyou
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MattGarner:
Oh yeah I noticed this in 1.5.0 and just thought it was my phone being funny. Oops :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK. There's a guide at http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/forumdisplay.php?99-Rooting-the-2.1-HTC-Hero for if it came back from HTC with 2.1 on it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Ah cool :) I will look into other things, as someone suggested it's the owner of the /system/sd or /data/app folders... But it does work. I'll try and sort it though :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Strange... Did you set the setting in messaging so that vibrate is on "always", as opposed to "only when silent"? I use ChompSMS or handcent, so don't use the stock app, but this is something you'll need to set iirc
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wooky321:
yeh tried that pulse :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chrisjaggeruk:
All installed 1st time no probs at alleverything seems to work 100% so far.

Apps2sd working 100% fine for me all apps reinstalled got 143mb remaining Cheers mate
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
not just on this rom. the updated youtube app locks up when trying to render video on the latest nightly also.

something's amis in youtube/aosp land.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rustynuts34:
Well been testing out the sense rom thinking how I had missed sense then thought what the hell lets give this bad boy a run do I miss sense no this is very slick indeed thanks a lot for your work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Ahhh... Mr Market Mirror...

I have youtube working fine here on 3G... Just picked a video, tapped it, and it played first time...

Weird.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
as long as you don't quit titanium backup in the middle (or it doesn't crash), you don't need to isntall any other launcher (adw, zeam, home++, whateverblahblahhome) in the middle. just use tit backup to remove launcherpro 8.1.1, then hold home button for a couple secs to bring up the recent apps menu (you DID run a file manager before running tit backup, right?), then choose yoru file manager and install launcherpro plus erm, I mean the "other" version of launcherpro that you must have some reason to want to install. ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
oh yea, forget what I said, you do need another laucnher installed. and then you must reboot after killing stock launcherpro before you can install new launcherpro (unless you know exactly which cache/dalvik type files to remove with root explorer or terminal... rebooting is easier and more consistently reliable though)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
hmmm... I'm on wifi fwiw, but will experiment more. of course, not using yoru rom at the moment, but the symptom he described jives with mine hence my guess that the sources of CM are the cause of the trouble.

I don't recall if it happened before I got the latest youtube app update from the market though. I've had latest nightly running for almost 24 hours now, it's getting close to time for me to reflash a rom anyhow ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
K. I don't think wifi should matter tbh, but you never know... This is google we're talking about :D

This is the latest youtube from the market (I can't remember the date, but I could check)...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rustynuts34:
Just had a thought do I still need my partition on my SD card or is this not being used now if not can I just delete the partition and gain some needed space.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
i don't have any symbolic links to the sd-card at all, how can i create them to get app to sd working?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tony28:
Thanks Pulser, it works :)

Even if i have the impression that when i was on froydvillain i could install more than 200 apps, i will test now, with this one, cause on cyanogen, i couldn't :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wooky321:
Tried that no luck :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vijaysapkota:
Pulser, I think it would have been better if you have released this version1.6 by discussing with other members. Let people to test it, find bugs and correct it then post the final.. but what you did, just you published a rom as like you never made mistakes... so now, this thread is full of bugs and complaints....

Well, don't take it seriously but can be better if you take it as a suggestion... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mr_dan:
You guys, i cant seem to find Set CPU options...i think its not included or something :-/ And villainrom updater is also missing, is it intentional? Thx for help
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djdavis:
All is fine for me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] koulloufos:
I've been using the new rom for a day now. Have to admit. The best thing that happened to my hero is villain rom 1.6.0. My hero looks like new. Using it at stock 576 Mhz and it is super fast up to now. I did not install task killer. Until now it is not needed. Thank you so much. I was thinking to change my hero to a new one, probably desire z, but i changed my mind now. Actually u saved me like 600 euro. Once again thank you so much. Keep up the good work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MiniDolan:
Awesome Rom :D its so fast.

But i can't get overscrolling to work :( i love this feature and it worked so well in CM. The option appears to be enabled but it doesn't work.

Any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MattGarner:
Excuse me? Yes maybe he could of done that but no one is actually really complaining about this ROM at all. They are just reporting back what they have found and wondering if theres any fixes and what not and asking questions. There is no major bugs that will stop you from using this rom and I've haven't came across anything that will make me flash another rom or an older version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Psyed:
And besides. There is no way you can test every situation. The best "Testpanel" is the group of users who downloaded and run the rom.

Also,there is some software which can cause problems (lagging etc.) which are otherwise not noticed.

OT: Flashed the rom this afternoon, feels realy quick and responsive. Didn't have the time (and didn't feel like tbh) to fully use it, but I'm impressed so far. Even Swype (2.6) is working smoother then ever before!

Same goes for me, no problems (HSDPA)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
I agree :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wwfc:
Excellent ROM, one bug I have found though (although I'm not sure if its been mentioned sorry if it has) It's the overscrolling feature in villain settings, it doesn't actually do anything :S I've just been using the cm 165 nightly and it worked fine and had "weight" settings. Any idea why this doesn't work pulser? Cheers in advance.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] feltraveller:
Initial impression is great! Have been using elelinux rc1 and only thing I miss are the themes. Nice one.

Will report back on battery life

And yes got 4.1 linpack
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
I was looking forward to this too but enabling it doesn't seem to have enabled it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Fair enough, but I tested for 2 weeks to save you guys the bother. And I've not seen any "bugs" needing fixed tbh. But most of the posts are things to do with config or overlooking something, or not doing a wipe, or voodoo :p

OK. No updater as I will update manually, That's deliberate as new updater is in the works...

Use CPUSpeed to configure overclock.

Glad to hear :)

You got an EXT partition? If so, please post output of command "mount" from adb shell.

Interesting... I will take a look at that
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yep, I used an older build, which was more stable. Perhaps I will bring newer Settings.apk and CMParts up to this build...

I will look into it tomorrow afternoon, and update then. (UK Time)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wwfc:
Sounds good :-D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adrianleung:
i finally got sync .

but i need to sign in after the first time setting

:)

but unfortunate another problem show up

my phone lost all the memory about the app in FroydVillain 1.5.0
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chalmizzle:
You change the CPU settings in the app 'CPU Speed' :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] peachananr:
Froyo in general

Tried this ROM, really like everything about this ROM, but there's only one factor that keeps making me return to 2.1. The music playback is a resource hog. Everything is just not smooth, when listening to the music.

It happens on all froyo roms i tried..

Anyway, nice rom overall, i still prefer the overall smoothness of sense though (like photo album, contact lookup etc.)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
fwiw, I agree AND there is a froyo rom that has sense (still alpha on this forum but working great other than camera and bt audio)... and oddly that rom plays music with much less battery use and performance trouble than the non-sense froyo roms.

so there are a couple of things that htc did right with sense.... only a couple though ;-)

that being said I've used aosp froyo roms as music playback sources all day every day at work for weeks and weeks. the stock android music player isn't very good with battery/cpu sharing... but other apps like PowerAMP and Mort Player (and others like good ol' mixzing and others) are MUCH better at sharing cpu and not eating battery just quite so fast.

still not as good as sense, but closer than stock player by a long stretch.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
hey pulser, I figured out the youtube issue, at least as it stands for me on cm6 nightly:

- over data connection it works great (but I have crappy data connection here and also only 500mb/month included).

- over wifi connection it locks up just as it's about to render the first frame of video (it never does though, just black video screen with youtube gui unresponsive overlayed on top). leave it alone and it sits there. tap somewhere and the event eventually throws an "fc or wait" alert, and you have to fc it to quit the app (or of course any other kill app or terminal kill if you're a linux nerd like me).

so it's wifi that youtube doesn't like in cm6 nightly.... and maybe same issue in your rom since I'm guessing you're using the wifi and video stuff from cm6.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] triksgold:
Welcome Back！

Downloading now！

Thank you！

Does it support the flash？
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mr_dan:
thank you...man im dumb, totally forgot theres an app for it :-D btw rom is flawless...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rosswaa:
was expecting "more" still not as good as just cm6

i might try out the gratia port or go back to a sense 2.1 rom

but this kinda wasnt very impressive and was slow with alot of fcs compared to all the others
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] harsha_aithal:
type 'su' before that command
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
FC's? I installed it yesterday and haven't had a single FC yet. My only concern is the EXT thing (which, to be honest, I've never really understood anyway). I'm not sure at this point if my apps are installed interally or on the sd card. When I go to manage apps and press sd card there's nothing listed.

For the record, I came from floyo 1.1.9, which I loved but began eating my battery for some reason lately. Prior to that I was on FV 1.5 which gave me nothing but troubles. So far I'm liking 1.6 but it't too soon to make an informed opinion. Looks great so far though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] EMiranda01:
Edit: nevermind. I'm viewing this from my XDA app and didn't see the first post. Sorry
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lukesky:
slow with a lot of FCs? Did u do a full wipe before flashing? I have tried the Sense 2.2 ports and I don't see how the speed of those comes anywhere near any of the CM6.1 ROMs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rosswaa:
yeh wroked fine for few hours then everything started fc'ing, if i were you if you dont get on with this rom

try this >> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=827593

everything runs smooooth and fastt with no fc's or anything :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hi-Fi:
a quick report

tested 24 hrs, got no FC, no reboot (full wipe, previous using FV15) - launcher - zeam

stock kernels 576

everything work great

battery life - a bit better than FV15

Sleep 1:30 - all setting off

wake up 8:00

1 hrs web surf

4 hrs GPS/wifi on (Rmaps - tracks writing)

30 min game playing (angry bird)

from 100% to 25%
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Slugbug:
I only flashed this yesterday, but so far it looks good! I'm definately noticing the difference in games, smooth as butter! Battery ran out of juice pretty fast though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ykxhda:
I switched from floyo1.1.9 and testing this whole last night (Asia time), here's my observations:

1. fc only a few times (i did a full wipe). but mostly related to launcherpro and dialer one.

2. with same set of apps (around 110 apps with 200M total size) installed, fv1.6 consumes about 20M more space in internal memory (yup, app2sd is working in ext2) than in floyo, with the installation location setting to 'auto' in villain setting.

3. Seems the scrolling speed is a bit faster than in floyo, but not significant.

4. touchscreen response and lag is similar in fv and floyo (testing in gameboid)

After all, this is a great improvement than in fv1.5 (as in this version my phone fc alots)..

Keep up the good work man!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
For anyone getting FCs, what app/apps are causing it? Just that I've tested this build for pretty much 2 weeks, and had no FCs that I can remember...

Hopefully this afternoon I can look into the reports of the only bug I'm aware of, with regard to the over scrolling not doing anything...

As usual, if you gave any issues, logcat is of great assistance :)

adb logcat > froydlog.txt, then take a look inside and see what's going on :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Regarding the concern about apps on sd, don't worry. That's for the stock android apps 2 sd , which is not as good as the custom rom method you use in most rooted roms.

As far as android is concerned, your apps are stored internally, but the folder is actually a link to the sd card partition :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] qpop:
Hi pulser, great rom.

One thing though... plugged in headphones this morning and no effect. Phone isn't picking them up. I came from froyo on a full wipe, so not sure what's going on? Anyone else had this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] harsha_aithal:
[HOW TO] go back to Stock Launcher

Great ROM. No troubles what so ever. I have around 135 MB free space in phone.

Btw, Can I go back to stock Froyo Launcher by any means? If yes, How ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wooky321:
Sorted the vibration problem for texts. Its in the settings for messages not in the sound settings like in the other roms :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
I was listening to music on the way to work this morning on Music Mod.

The music was playing but the phone became totally unresponsive... rebooted and tried it again. same happened.

resolution: uninstalled CPUSpeed.... installed SetCPU ... used smartass govenor instead of (screen on: interactive --- screenoff: conservative profiles)

same frequencies 176 -576 used.

all okay now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mansn:
Testing the rom so far: Happy with everything.

My one niggle is the fact the the stock android keyboard still had the graphical glitch that it's had for the last 20 revisions of Froyd. It's a bit disappointing that you still haven't been able to fix that yet.

Other than that, keep up the good work!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ampicillin:
Nice ROM With little updates .. everything working great so far :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] koepi:
I went back to Sense 2.1 (rooted) since for more than a month nothing happened again the just cosmetic, but annoying trackball lighting bug - and was happy to install Froyd 1.6 yesterday eveing. Congrats for the great ROM, it seems that everything is working nice and smoothly as it is supposed to!

My main concern next to stability is the drain on the battery though.

Fully loaded the battery and unplugged the Hero this morning. No unusual usage since then, just short checking of a few things (Paket delivery, online balance.)

In just 5 hours the battery went down from 100% to 93%. As comparison: I started with a battery load of 42% yesterday evening with rooted 2.1 - after 72 hours past last battery loading and using the phone more intense and even doing actual phone calls.

I set the same CPU speed and governor in both (OnDemand, 19-528 [Froyd:576 due to lacking 528MHz]). I think I will install Erasmux' 12-alpha kernel as I read it can use lowers power in the upper frequencies for the CPU. I seriously think the 528 MHz CPU speed is a keeper, though ;)

I will closely monitor the situation and report back when I have more statistically relevant data. Until now it seems that Froyd is close to doubling the energy usage.

BR,

Koepi

I'm surprised stock kb is used... Didn't realise anyone actually used it... :D

I can look at it, but I've never felt the need to actually spend any time with stock kb...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] FunkTrooper:
I'm gonna add myself to the list of those who use the stock keyboard. I definitely prefer that to the HTC one.

It'd be great if the graphical glitch is fixed could be fixed. The problem is fixed in Floyo, and has been for some time. I'd *love* if FroydVillain 1.6.1 had this fix included ;)

APPS2SD

how to i make APPS2SD work. i have an ext partition. and in villain settings it is set to automatic. is suppose to be that right? but my internal memory keeps dropping. would appreciate the help. thanks! (:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] guyfromlatvia:
Menu -> Settings -> Villain settings -> Application settings ->Allow application moving + Install location = External.

Then from (Menu -> Settings -> Application settings -> Manage applications) you can move applications from/to sd or internal memory :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mansn:
Hmmm, what keyboard do you use? I'm not a fan of the HTC IME keyboard, i think it is not as smooth as the stock android, and all the other replacements I have tried aren't as good in comparison either (in my opinion).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nicolasfoto:
Super ROM! Thanx for all the hard work! One question: Is there any way to get rid of the pink highlight? Like in mail or message counts?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] desean:

Hi and thanks for this rom.

Two remarks :

- When rebooting with usb cable plugged in, the usb notification disappear.

- When taking pictures with the stock app, clicking on the previous shot don't open Gallery 3D, nothing happen.

For the rest, as far i've tested it, everything works.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nomnompie:
Clicking the last image in the camera opens the gallery fine for me. I did a full wipe though, including EXT, did you?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rhapsody01:
Yes, as always.

But i've took the rom from the kitchen, where an option exist to remove Gallery 3D (option that i've not activated). Perhaps the kitchen miss the creation of a link or somthing ?

Edit : Just did the test again, and now it works .. Dunno why, i didn't change anything ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tomijovanoski:
great!

great rom! fastest froyo i've ever used...

but, i have some problems with the youtube app...

some times it seems ok, but sometimes it freezes...

can you include the new gingerbread youtube app in the future roms?

and, can someone tell me is the one gingerbread youtube.apk that's circling around these forums is compatible with this rom?

cheers!

keep up the good work!

How about the battry life, guys(Ppl who is using froyod 1.6)???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I currently use the Swype beta, and it's really smooth at stock speed.

I also liked the prediction of SwiftKey, and UltraKeyboard is pretty good for customisations.

But it's a personal preference, but tbh anything is better than stock android KB
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
The youtube seems to be a general issue with many ROMs afaik...

I'm a touch confused here. Are you trying to get me to include the app, but not sure if it will work on the ROM? If it doesn't work, then there's no point in adding it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
