[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PixoNova:
Hi there,

I'm on AT&T with my parents family plan still, and my mom is eligible for an upgrade. We're both on iPhones at the moment, and I'm not due for an upgrade till 2012, but she is. So I was wondering, I have the unlimited data option on my iPhone, and she said she'd get the Captivate and give to me if I gave her the

3GS.

So my question is, can we just switch SIM cards? Or will there be some sort of hardware/data restriction?

Thanks in advance!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diamond_dawg:
nope you can switch cards wihtout problem, i sold my 3Gs for a captivate and we switched sims without problem
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac208x:
They will automaticly change ur data plan if you dont
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PixoNova:
Mac, did you have an unlimited plan and they switched you to yet another unlimited?

That's all I'm really worried about. Since it was clarified above that it would work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac208x:
No they switched me to the 2gb since i went from an iphone to a samsung. Iphone uses a different format of data
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcrews:
That's odd.. they switched me to another unlimited plan
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curti.nogg:
They should not have done that. I had an unlimited bb data plan and they just switched it over.

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abezapata:
Same here. To the OP make sure you speak to at&t representatives about what you are trying to for so you don't get sucked into a worthless limited plan. I made sure everything was done online and though the phone.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmotytn:
If you get your Captivate from a 3rd party like Radio Shack or Best Buy, they sure will screw up your data package. if you go thru the ATT corporate stores, tho, you can stay on the grandfathered unlimited data plan...and yes you can switch from UNLIMITED IPHONE to UNLIMITED SMARTPHONE.

When i switched from my 3GS to the Captivate, I went to both a Best Buy and a Shack, and they both told me they had to switch me to the new data plans...I went to the Death Star and got it done with no problem.

A month or two later, I even switched my data plan back to the UNLIMITED IPHONE so that when I work on phones in my store, I have a sim that lets me access the network if wifi doesnt work.

My sim goes between my Captivate and my Dell Streak and I have no problems with data...

-----VERY IMPORTANT----

I don't have voice mail on any of my phones because the iPhone data plan is provisioned for Visual Voicemail, and since I'm not using an iPhone, my voicemail box isn't set up. There is probably a work-around, but it's not a big deal for me, so as long as my plan is for the iPhone, and my sim is in something else, you can't leave me a message.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iJemuel:
You should call back to get your unlimited plan back because you can keep it. Also, try to get a confirmation number just in case.

[ROM]VillainROMZ & SuperVillainZ for the G2/DZ - Sense UI & Vanilla Style!

For anyone on T-Mobile having APN problems, download the below file, RENAME FROM .xls to .xml, and push/copy to /system/etc, then reboot.

I can't remember who found the error, but thank you!

Sorry - I manually typed in a load of APNs, and must have removed something.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stryder5:
Woot, finally here! :D I'll be flashing it later this week when my schedule clears up a bit. Now to decide between SuperVillian or VillianROM.... Does SuperVillian have the HTC dialer?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TL24:
Wow, you sir are the man... I'll def. be trying this ROM out right now!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nprussell:
Yes, indeed it does!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vandam500:
Wow these look interesting as hell! I'm enjoying CM6 so much right now but will definitely give SuperVillainZ a try.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thatruth132:
just what i have been looking for , do you have app2sd enable to move apps with copyright protection
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pulser_g2:
For anyone who downloaded the ROM more than 2 minutes ago, please download it again, as I have corrected an error that gave you an older version of the ROM, without so much added awesomesauce.

Congrats to ddotpatel who spotted my *AHEM* deliberate little test (I wish... :p)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] troykwak:
AMAZING haha

thanks man!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stryder5:
Which ROM? SuperVillianZ or VillainROMZ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TL24:
Is this for the SuperVillainZ ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pulser_g2:
It is for both. If the filename didn't contain the whole -release-signed.zip part, then re-download. If it doesn't match the MD5 checksum, please redownload.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Armani G:
is the OC applied to this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stryder5:
Ah just spent an hour downloading it too haha. Guess I'll restart it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TL24:
Ok I installed it but for some reason it keeps saying there's no network found? Anyone else having this issue? This is after a full wipe & install btw... I had everything turned on as well but still no luck...

I guess its back on CM RC3 for now till someone tells me what the issue is.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mikey:
Read post 1 really carefully :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mikey:
Installed which of the 2 :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
Tried out both of the older ones .. WOW .. VillainROMz is SO much faster/smoother than any other Sense ROM I've tried. Too bad they both contain the usual sense UI problem when changing density. Will redownload the new ones though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mykeldrip:
downloading to try now! the sense ver..im kinda addicted to sense!

also what kind of goodies can we look forward to in updates?

if i could request a few:

1.an audio boost to phone calls! would be great!!

2.maybe the stock 2.2 keyboard would be a great addition also!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TL24:
So why cant i connect to T-Mobile's network? I can only get a connection thru Wifi and nothing when i turn off Wifi.

Whats the deal here????
[Galaxy Tab General] seongcho:
I have a Galaxy Tab purchased in Europe and subscribing Bell Mobility Flex data plan. I realized that Bell offers also mobile TV with $10 for 10hours monthly watch.

I am interested in subscribing that but I don't have the "TV & Radio" app which is pre-installed for Bell model. So I discovered the Bell Galaxy tab and I was able to copy the TVRadio.apk to my European one.

I ran the app but it was say "Network Error".

With the Bell model, I could browse channels even though the device is not activated for TV subscription and even through WIFI (not with Bell network).

I don't know what is wrong with the European model. Is there special configuration required?
[Galaxy Tab General] ledridge:
the app may be hard coded to look for the carrier ID or something else on the phone.
[Galaxy Tab General] seongcho:
Is it something related to Sales Code?

What is the sales code for Canadian Bell Mobility?

Is the sales code related to the Samsung Apps as well?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phush:
Bear with a noob, please!

Flashed my first ROM (Cognition) this morning, but in my rush forgot to check to see if Google synced my contacts beforehand. It did not.

I used ROM Manager to backup my stock setup.

I then flashed Cognition without a problem, but my contacts are gone.

Can I backup my current ROM, restore stock, sync contacts, and then restore Cog again?

Anything I need to know before I do this? (disable lagfix, wipes, etc?)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
I would presume you are on the most recent cog. Make sure you disable lag fix. Then flash odin stock. Then restore backup. Do not just try to restore the backup directly from cognition.

Once on stock backup go to contacts then export. A file is saved to your sd. When you are on cog you can then go to contacts then click import. I sync my contacts through google.g. Any time I flash I log into my googlr account and bam, restored
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nprussell:
OP requested 2nd post for future use.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pickx:
Very nice. Waiting for mirroring to finish.

I haven't really given Sense UI much of a chance... let's see how this goes
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pulser_g2:
Mirroring completed :)

Hey, I downloaded the SuperVillain rom but the homescreen does not look anything like the picture posted? I'm looking for the Sense-style Clock/Weather but cannot seem to find it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] manleyfu:
Very nice ROM.....

I have already downloaded and installed it successfully. So far I have not found any serious bugs yet.

One question : Is there such function that I can enlarge the system font size by this ROM? If yes, how to do it?

Thanks again for your good work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] catachresistant:
Says in the OP - that's the new Fancy Widget.

I've been looking forward to this. Villivision ran beautifully but I just can't deal with the inferior dialler, clock and camera apps. Or the general ugliness of the statusbar and its icons. I hope those bits have been carried over.

Question - is there a CIFS module included in this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gendou:
Nice ROM

Nice ROM

I have two question

1. after flash this rom and first booted(no install any APK)

in setting/SD & Phone Storage

Available space only 0.88G that's normal right?

2. i want to restore my setting and apk using Titanium Backup

it told me not "rooted"

this ROM not included rooted?

Thank you for your response
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eXase:
Props for a solid stock ROM i.e VillainROMZ

So far it seems to be running smooth as
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] catachresistant:
It's rooted but it doesn't have Busybox. Hit the "problems?" thing at the bottom of Titanium Backup to download it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gendou:
it is working,thanks

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AMoosa:
Looks awesome! Could you please add trackpad to wake, and percentage battery icon to a future release?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
trackpad to wake is included, however it doesn't seem to work when the phone has been asleep for a long period of time.

Can someone confirm and post a bug report in the correct section over at villainrom.co.uk?

thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ok11:
Looks great. Im tired of Sense, so Im going to try the SuperVillainZ rom. I will report back after im done flashing it. Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
SuperVillainZ is best for people (like me) who love HTC's apps (that can't be directly replaced like wifi hotspot, flashlight, dialer etc) but are not a massive fan of rosie as a launcher.

I am sticking with sense for now, until I get bored of "new sense" but SuperVillain is usually my rom of choice.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ok11:
Flashed successfully. Everything seems to run in order and nothing out of the ordinary noticed. However, its quite late and I need some sleep, but I will report back if anything comes up. Thanks for the ROM. It's a great escape from the Rosie launcher while having the apps and features that came with Sense.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Not wishing to sound rude (though it probably will do), why do people have to specifically go to another website to log a bug for this ROM ? That's not how support for ROMs normally works on XDA, is it ? e.g. cyanogen doesn't tell you to go and log a formal bug report whenever you find an issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
CM has one rom, and a different lead dev for each device, its a lot easier to keep on top of everything said in just one place for him.

We have lots of roms and lots of devs it is a lot easier for us if we can see all bugs for each specific rom in one place.

You can report it on xda, but you know what this forum can be like you could post something now and in 10 minutes it could be 5 or 6 pages back (ok maybe not on the Z section, but the G2) so we are just trying to make it easier for all so that all bugs get sorted as soon as possible.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sonofabit:
I can confirm this, and have posted it on the VillianROM forums.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sonofabit:
Another bug that I found. Bluetooth is not working.... it turns on, but never discovers anything.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yadvani:
I can confirm this...mine the Euro Desire Z

other than great Rom..super fast and stable :)

Sorry posted this at 2 am my time slipped my mind...using VillainROMZ
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 1nsomnia:
Is it just me or has anyone noticed that the battery is draining alot faster compared to stock ROM?

Also, does this ROM have the option to include the music player on the lock-screen to change songs?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
I really wish people would specify which of the two roms they installed. Would make trouble shooting a ton easier. These are the basics people!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sonofabit:
Sorry, you're right, totally forgot. I installed the Sense UI based one.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ok11:
I too have noticed the battery draining much quicker than the MoDaCo Sense based ROM that i had. I have flashed the SuperVillainZ ROM

EDIT: There's also another problem I have noticed. Last night, after flashing the SuperVillainZ rom, I opened the browser and the homepage was HTC site and the browser automatically shut down without any force close notice or anything. I tried a few more times and it happend again and again. I got to the google site and it was running fine and I just thought it was the htc giving me trouble. Tonight, ive tried opening the browser on a number of sites and it keeps closing on me. Anyone else experience this?

It loads the page all the way and then closes a couple of seconds after or waits until i double tap the screen to zoom in. For some sites, its fine, but for others, it closes on me
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
try navigating to menu > settings > applications > manage applications

find the browser and clear its data and cache.

As far as battery life goes, mine is fantastic on VillainZ, I could easily get at least 48 hour from the phone, with use.

If you flashed the rom while your usb cable was in the phone you will have screwed up your battery calibration! There are several methods to reset these, and xda search should find you loads.

ALWAYS REMOVE THE CABLE WHILE FLASHING!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ok11:
I tried clearing the cache and the data from the browser and the problem has not gone away. I dont remember having my phone charging when i flashed the phone. So, I have decided to wipe everything and flash the SuperVillainZ rom again. Hope this time around, those problems dont exist. I'll report soon enough with the result.

Update: ok, I flashed SuperVillainZ again and the browser kept closing on the htc site again. So, I looked to see if I had Adobe flash and I didnt. I went and downloaded it from the market and the HTC site did not close. I guess that is going to happen when you dont have Adobe flash. Though, you'd think the browser would still work and not just close on you. Anyways, that issue seems to have been fixed and I did not have the usb cable plugged in during the flash, so, we'll see how the battery holds up.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] 1nsomnia:
My second day using SuperVillain Rom. My battery life is still really suspect though, not sure if my phone needs a few more days to get acustomed to it. But my phone has lost ~15% battery from just a few text messages and around ~15-20 mins of music. On the stock ROM, this type of usage would've only accounted for maybe 5% or less. I didn't flash my ROM while it was plugged in. Anyone else experiencing this type of drain?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ok11:
for the 7 hours that i was asleep, the battery went from 99% to 53%.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
Im losing hardly any battery at all.

Most battery problems will be because of a poorly calibrated battery, most likely because you kept the charger in while flashing the rom, and during first boot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SN4K3B1T3:
Correct me if im wrong but cant you just go into cw recovery and then into the advanced section and go reset battery stats at full charge then let the phone die...fully recharge and shouldnt it be re calibrated??

Hi,

Thanks for the great works !

I used Vilain Rom on my Desire, and today with my new Desire Z, I still find Rosie too heavy and laggy !

So your rom is perfect for me :)

Can you list all HTC apk and stuffs you removed ?

I'd like to try delete them manualy, without other changes on the stock roms.

I'll see if bluetooth and battery life are ok.

Thanks

is it possible, with any of these two roms, to have launcherpro as app launcher, but be able to put the HTC widgets on your homescreens?

I'm thinking a complete rebuild, and I'll even try to release that as a non-wipe release :)

I aimed to have it finished for today, but it's not quite there. Almost though ;)

I am now aiming for Wednesday, as Tuesday evening is my only free evening this week.

Most of the mentioned bugs are minor, so they shouldn't take me too long to fix. I appreciate I have been a bit slow on this update; unfortunately not had much free time of late.

Hi i was wondering if the mms works for the villain rom for the g2. I cant send or revieve any mms i dont know if it is a bug or not
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] schaggo:
Uhm... hi guys. I downloaded this three times now from the villain servers and all I get after flashing is a hanging device. After the initial power on vibe it hangs at the bright white HTC screen. I dare to ask: is this normal? :D

(seriously though, any known issues, help, etc...?)

Yeeeees, I did wipe before the flash, even manually, every single partition one after another in the "mounts and storage" menu of CWMR.

Oh, right, the recovery. Talking of which, I used 3.0.1.4 Custom Version. I'll give it a try with the 2.5.x version, was so long on Gingerbread builds I forgot about switching the recovery before flashing. I will report back...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
well the official version from rom manager should work for both kinds of roms... Ive booted villainrom and supervillainz with no issue in this recovery. it does hang a while at the htc screen, but will fully boot after a while. It just takes a while for it to rebuild the caches.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] schaggo:
Well I was using 3.0.1.4 by some MikevH or so which removes all the annoying NO NO NO NO NO you get the idea and it didn't work. I flashed with 2.5.1.4 and I'm looking at the lock screen right now. So my/your ZIP is ok, it was my recovery for whatever reason. Because right, I believed 3.0.0.5+ to be downwards compatible :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
and that was your problem. You, by your own admission were NOT using 3.0.0.5 from rom manager, but instead tried using a modded version, which will inherently cause problems.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] schaggo:
I had a look at the code, no core functionality was touched, it's only cosmetics. So I'm sorry, I guess you're off, bro.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lazybusinessman:
i tried flashing this rom last night, did a full wipe, etc. it just gets stuck on the HTC screen. will not move at all. i re-flashed back to another rom....flashed in clockwork, same thing. anyone else experience this issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] schaggo:
The "lazy" part in your username actually fits the case. Start reading about 5 messages upwards from yours...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ohshootrawr:
Uhh.. I flashed this with 3.0.0.5 a whiiiile ago. It worked but the launcher was defective. It was outdated or something.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
lol, true enough. As for your issue, its possible you may have had simply a bad download of the rom, as i use this rom some myself when im feeling nostalgic for sense, even on that modded version of CWM you mentioned (so yes, you were correct in saying I was inaccurate in my previous assessment).
