villainrom.co.uk is down for me too.

Regards
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
4.597 @ 652mhz! Very happy with the performance. I disable 3g and sync for this to make sure Linpack can run freely without most background apps using cpu.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tony28:
Thanks pulser :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaiowas82:
Great rom, but after updating it i have a drop of performances, linpack says 4.07 at 691mhz, before was 5.02 :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] davrave:
Thanks Pulser. Outstanding job. I have been running the rom for a couple of hours now and must say that I am impressed. I love the Sense roms but they are just not there yet.

I have installed at least 60 apps and running smartass 691/352 in the kernel.

Linpak reports 4.678 and Neocore 30.7

Still early days but I have to say that this rom feels very good. Only had 1 fc so far and that's related to launcher pro which I paid for but do not use because ADW runs beautifully on my Hero.

Please could you supply a zip for those of us who want to remove LP and replace with ADW.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] froger_mcs:
Thanks for the fastest Hero ROM I've ever seen!

Unfortunately I have two issues:

- I can't send MMS messages. When i try this, phone looks like do nothig (I see "Sending...", but Hero doesn't start network connection). APN is well configured, so it is no problem.

- I can't change keyboard. When I tap on "Input method", there's nothing happens.

Sorry for my bad English.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I can't really help with network related issues without more details etc, but regarding the keyboard, did you enable it by ticking the box in settings > language and keyboard?

Also, have you installed another keyboard yet?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B-bal:
Well I'm right now on elelinux 2.2 special edition does anybody know if I should flash this rom? And how is the battery life and speed etc?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] descenpet:
by any chance, are you trying to change keyboard by long-pressing on "?123" button on stock android keyboard? it won't work. long-tap a text input field and choose input method from there.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tomijovanoski:
i'll make some tests on fv1.6 if I find the new youtube.apk, and I'll share.. becouse on some roms, the new apk was very very stable...

and don't get me wrong, I appriciate your work... this is by far the best freaking 2.2 rom on hero! ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaiowas82:
I confirm this behaviour, after a full wipe and e reflash, someone in the same situation?

Something is interfering your test. I got 5.01 @691.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaiowas82:
it happens when i do a new flash, after a full wipe, without installing any app but linpack
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] froger_mcs:
You're right, It works. :)

Thank you. :)

And it's LogCat connected with my MMS problem:

Maybe it could help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mach2005:
When @653 I get 4.7. Maybe you've got JIT turned off?? That would explain the low score
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Here's your issue:

Looks like it can't get an MMS APN for your connection to me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] froger_mcs:
It works actually. But I have to switch on data access over mobile.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Ummmm... Sounds like you need to add a second MMS only APN...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] roose21:
Really, really appreciate this rom. Its breathed new life in to my hero, everything is super smooth and very fluid. No fc's, lags or battery pulls necessary but the YouTube app is killing me. For some reason it isn't playing any video's? Is fine in FV1.5. Any ideas?! Long live TeamVillain!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cable2k:
I've heard this from others as well, but my YouTube is working fine. :confused:

another bug i have a load of mp3 ringtones in a folder called ringtones but when i select them in the list the whole phone crashes i get a android system force close and it becomes completely un responsive
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
what kernel govenor are you using? I had mine on interactive but my hero died whenever I played music using that... changing it to 'martass fixed it and now fully responsive when playing music.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Meekos:
Well I did a full wipe when I installed the first time. Now I have done it , as you said, again and now it works, thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaiowas82:
jit was on...anyway thanks for the help, i'll stay on 1.6.0 :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lewman:
Is anyone else having issues with selecting the preferred network type by typing in *#*#4636#*#*?

Whenever i choose 'GSM auto (prl)' it selects and works fine. However if i reset the phone it defaults back to 'WCDMA preferred'.

Anyone else experiencing this issue too?

-Lewman
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
Used it for a few days now. All I can say is it's great! Much more responsive over 1.5.0! I replaced cpuspeed with setcpu though... cpuspeed didn't seem to change to smartass no matter what I did.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mach2005:
Yes, I've tested it and this rom doesn't keep the setting.

Strange...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I'm sticking on GSM Auto PRL after a couple of reboots as far as I know...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jonstar:
Anyone having issues with the screen colour? It seems that sometimes when I come off the lock screen that the grey tones are a little off. All I do is lock the screen and unlock it and they're back where they should be.

Was running VR12 before and this never came up so I'm wondering if it's worth re-flashing the ROM?

Anyone else see this?

Sorry - I should add a huge thanks to pulser...by far the best ROM I've tried yet! Amazing work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Nice easy fix :)

That just means your CPU is too slow in sleep. Go to app "CPUSpeed" and increase sleep speed :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jonstar:
That did it! Thanks for the quick reply!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
No worries :) Told ya it was easy ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iEternalHero:
Hi every one,

First i wanted to thanks pulser for that ROM !

Very smooth and fast.. flashed it after full wipe, but i don't get why i'm getting low scores on Linpack or Quadrant.. 4.1 on Linpack 691Mhz, and 250 on quadrant.. WTF ? I was getting about 460 with floyo.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gynjanynja:
Beautiful piece of software thank you sincerely.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SamuelClyde:
I'm getting 4.9 on linpack and the rom is super responsive! I found my replacement for running the lastest nightlys for sure.

this rom also fixed a problem that I had with calls dropping too :-)

all in all, simply fantastic!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
I'm running at top MHz and hitting 5.1 in linpack on a regular basis, and haven't rebooted for three days. Really smooth ROM, thanks pulser!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Mine defaults to WCDMA. Should I be choosing GSM auto? What is the difference? I'm on TELUS in Vancouver (in case that is important).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] froger_mcs:
Hmm, but I have second APN named "Era MMS" (my internet connection APN is named Era Internet). And both of them are well configured.

Maybe I have to link this APN (Era MMS) with MMS service... But I can't find where I should set this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Try editing your other internet apn, and make it do both mms and internet?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JBNAquatics:
Update it to the 1.6.1 and you can change CPUspeed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] descenpet:
there is "APN Type" field at the bottom of list when you edit your APN settings.

"Default" for internet, "MMS" for mms, and leave it blank if you want to use same APN for internet and MMS
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
true, however the snartass gouvenor should stop this from happening, give smartass a try with the same low frequency you've used.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] galvinlurv:
Just ran link on this Rom got 3. 888 mflops. With 6 hours no rebooting. Pretty low how do improve thi
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Summered:
I don't get why the score is so important?

You want performance not numbers, no?

Anyway, you've probably got a lot of apps running in the background using a lot of cpu-cycles. Do you want a higher score? Then reboot. But what's the use in that?

(This is directed to all of you Mflops-whores ;))
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dark Emotion:
Guys , I need help.How can I install signals23 LauncherPro 0.8.1.1 widgets?

I need to replace Launcher Pro, I have tried with Titanium back and I my phone rebooted.I did something wrong for sure so can someone explain how to do that on easiest way?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GodsDead:
I was just playing around, and theres one pre-built in goto:

Settings > Villain Settings > User Interface > Tweaks Extra > Select a Theme > Stock_black

Loving the speed & all the little changes made :p thanks a bunch!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I'm gonna +1 this :) If you want more Mflops, reboot, to close down all the badly written apps that are running... But the ROM will remain responsive for a while longer.

I have now got 50+ hours uptime (probably > 60 now) with no performance drop :)

I'm currently trying to get the highest uptime I can, to see if I can beat my 1.5 best of 12 days, before it needed a reboot for speed... It's doing well so far :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
In absence of knowing WHAT you did, it's pretty hard to help with what you did wrong. You can use the kitchen on the site to add the apk to /system/app, but I don't know if you need to remove the default LP first, or if it is the same name, so it overwrites it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dark Emotion:
It says application is not installed....can't overwrite it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] flywithme:
Thanks pulser_g2 for another great rom!!

A few questions:

1. What is the minfree setting in this rom?

2. Will we see another bug fix update soon?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaiowas82:
In my case the score is not important, i was the first noticing that performances decreases after the 1.6.1 update...and seems like i'm not the only one. ;)

The phone is still performing good, of course, but losing 2000mfps after the update, with no bloody application installed and coming straight from a full wipe and reflash is strange or not??

Instead of givin us stupid advices like "reboot the phone" or telling that we got running application in background, maybe you should consider that people are not so ignorant or stupid as you believe :)

My post was to the developer, which doesnt seem interested to the question...so if someone got useful information for us, good, otherwise better save time and keyboard :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaiowas82:
I did it, and i'll try to remember what i did for you:

-download another launcher like zeam

-set zeam as default, and while using it use a root explorer to delete the launcher pro apk in /system/app

-install your copy of launcher pro

-unistall zeam

- your launcher pro should be working now

i hope i didn forgot nothing :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dark Emotion:
thanks man , I will try it later
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mr_dan:
Can't erase launcherpro.apk from system/apps via Root explorer...it says its read only. I set zeam as a default ... dont know what im doing wrong :-/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dark Emotion:
Same here m8
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BuzzFuzz:
You must press Mount R/W button and change into R/O

then u can delete...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mr_dan:
oh...thx, worked like charm. After deleting the apk you gotta reboot phone though, then it works :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
1. Settings are currently 1536, 2048, 4096, 9216, 10240, 10240, although you can change that really easily with either Autokiller, or by editing an init script :)

2. Perhaps. I'm looking for bugs, but I must admit that most are either complaints about Google services, which are outwith our control, or are one-off incidents that are to do with not wiping or setting up right.

I will update as and when I get time, and it's required. 1.6.1 fixed a little niggle or 2, so perhaps I'll get out a 1.6.2 some time?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] karlanal:
now, im going to write slow because i know you cant read that fast

ill try and explain it as simple as i can

lets say, you want to buy a high performance car, saying that you want a porsche ofcourse, and naturally you want to know the accerleration of the car, top speed etc, you can imagine the cars performance and guess it pretty accurately by just knowiung one number, the HORSEPOWER

so what the horsepower to a car is MEGAflops to the hero

so it is not important to squeze the last flop out of the rom, no this is just a value or number so you know what you can expect from this rom, capishi

btw

i am running froyo with sense, and the new build is noticebly slower then the older build, and after i ran linpack i saw 600 mflops difference, from 3.1 to 2.5

now i can imagine the difference when the new villain is 2000 mflops slower

number=performance

it is not important 50 less or 50 more
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] karlanal:
pulser, which dialer are you using

the dialer is the only thing keeping me away from this superb rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I am using Dialer One, which is a lot like the Sense dialer in terms of functionality.

I actually have something even more similar, but I don't think it's ready for release in terms of stability...

But you can install any dialer from market too... I like Dialer One though
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Little 1.6.2 update posted in the second post, for updates to a few installed apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] karlanal:
dialer one is ok, but laggy, it hangs for a few ms, the search in the sense dialer is way more snapier

try the ray dialer, much faster than dialer one

PS

my hero just fell from the balcony, 9 meters straight down, on another balcony, put i together and it works, amazing, i cpouldant belive it

my stupid girlfriend called me four times, no wait i saw 4 missed calls, so the fifth must be the guilty one
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
Youtube is buggy (still?). Can't play while on 3G, some videos don't load on wireless.:D

Didn't try it out on 1.6.0 though, so I can't tell any improvements.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Did you do the cache wipe for youtube?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rustynuts34:
Anyone else having trouble getting the update page wont load for me

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Summered:
I wouldn't compare horsepower to Mflops. Mflops is dependant on the situation whereas horsepower is not. Horsepower could be compared to say CPUclock, as they both are increasing the performance of the device/vehicle but not always in an obvious way.

I was going to continue using a car analogy but I couldn't come up with one.

Anyway, Mflops is a number often, if not always, fluctuating, depending on a lot of factors, making it a really bad way of comparing the performance of two ROMs. Though I understand using it when comparing; to simplify things (also seen when comparing two CPUs where one often looks blindly at the clock when there are more factors playing a role in how the CPU performs).

My text looks like a big mess but I hope it's readable :)

(Unnecessary stating I can't read fast, a statement like that only points to desperation and doesn't belong in a discussion)

EDIT:

[these] numbers != performance, however [these] numbers can give a hint at the performance.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
Yea I did, wiped the cache. It might be a problem at my end though, my 3G is always flappy.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tenchi0205:
:confused:I also have problem sending mms...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mdon874:
patches

if i updated to 1.6.1 and then 1.6.2 should I be seeing changes to version numbers in about phone if they were successful? It looks like it's 1.6.0 still to me in the about phone section! :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] desean:
nope because the patches do not have any accompanying build.prop to reflect the updated version numbers. i am afraid you will have to know what version you have updated to.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ganii:
Jep,or edit "build.prop" at "ro.build.version.release" and write 1.6.2

if you like this!

You can push this file via ADB or edit the file with RootExplorer ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toxic-hero:
ray dialer is awesome!!! thanks for suggestion.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
As I understand, this is a bit of "black magic". I use GSM Auto (PRL), but I can't explain what it does...

Some report better battery using it iirc...

Neither is right or wrong imho
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] karlanal:
well i had a problem with the auto setting with wcdma

it was ****ing up my location setting i the clock widget and the weather widget, the location reading was offr, after switching to gsm only

the locatons reading worked like a charm, every time all the time
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
Thanks plulser and karlanal. I'll give gsm Auto a try and see how it goes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sergiopa:
i dont like launcherpro.

Is there a way to remove it? The rom will work without it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barlw:
Do any trackball notifications work for anyone? I set handcent to light the trackball when I have text messages but it never does.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marleyfan61:
I don't like launcher pro either. I'm using Zeam. You can download it from the market and install it and set it as your default. I'm sure there is a way to remove LP. I tried the remove LP file from floyo but it didn't work on this rom. LP seems to run in the background though so it would be nice to get rid of it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] odin13:
To remove Launcher Pro you have to delete it from /system/app folder; you can use Root Explorer or do it via ADB or terminal app
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] melvie:
First install a other launcher than you can uninstall with titanium backup..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 02keilj:
Having an issue where my phone resets during calls. It seems to happen a few mins into a call. Would updating my radio fix this? If so could someone direct me to the latest download.

been using for few days, but still problem with battery life, same as FV1.5, i love villain ROM but battery life is slightly worse than other, is this cost for fast and stable ROM, yet i still use it due to all my games are working just fine, smooth, and no lag.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chalmizzle:
I honestly think this is the best ROM for our Hero's.

I really miss the Sense UI but god dayumn.... the speeed.... its ultra fast and reliable...

I just pray the Sense 2.2 (VR13) comes soon so I don't get too attached to this beautiful masterpiece :D

Kudos! x
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zwart:
Was in my car playing music through bluetooth audio and navigating with Copilot Live when receiving a phonecall. Calling (also through bluetooth) actually went fine, but when call ended and audio and navigation automatically should have restarted my Hero lost it and rebooted.

I was rather disappointed my Hero couldn't handle it anymore... :D

Anyway, really happy with this ROM. Great work!!

And for those who have problems with built in LaucherPro: Try the kitchen. Worked for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shahroozs2:
your rom is very very great but useing too much battrey. can u resolve this problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sergiopa:
First of all, thanks for all replies.

Can i use the stock launcher?

if yes, this is correct?

adb remount

adb push StockLauncher.apk /system/app/Launcher2.apk

adb shell

> rm -f /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk

> pm uninstall com.android.launcher

> reboot

Thanks in advance

Can anyone confirm if this ROM fixed the battery drain issue that was plaguing many users on 1.5?

Thread here:

http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?2401-Battery-Expectations

It was mentioned in that thread that the root cause to the battery drain issue had been identified and it would be sorted in the next release but the thread seems to have died about 6 weeks ago.

Can anyone confirm if this has been sorted?

Flashing 1.6 as we speak, can't wait to test it out! Thanks VillainROM team! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barlw:
I've also noticed a weird issue where the bottom half of the touch screen stops working smoothly. on a fresh boot, it works like normal, but after some time all swiping or scrolling on the bottom half of the screen gets jumpy. The top half continues to work normally. It's most noticeable when pulling down the notification bar or using swype. When I have a bit more free time I'll investigate if some specific app or something I do triggers the behavior.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dark Emotion:
The easiest way to replace Launcher Pro: (with Terminal)

1. su (allows root permission)

2. mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system (make the system folder writeable)

3. cat /system/app/.apk > /sdcard/launcherbackup.apk (backs up system launcher)

4. cat /sdcard/(launcher name).apk > /system/app/launcher.apk (copies launcher to system)

5.Reboot

Thanks traumatism for the post
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hannott:
Is it possible youre going to make a "lite" version of the rom? I at least don't need all the stuff like car home, dialer one, facebook etc etc. Tried to force remove dialer one, and the whole thing crashed hard, and I had to reflash everything :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yep, there's a kitchen available. Info in the release post at the download link. Lets you pick what you want removed. If you want more options, let me know what should be removable...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barlw:
Turns out it was the HTC IME keyboard that was causing this. I guess it doesn't get cleared properly if you submit whatever you're typing, since the problem only went away when I explicitly closed the keyboard with the back button. Switching keyboards didn't help either, since whatever effect it has on that area of the screen was still there.
