Well after fixing the above mentioned issue. My reboot/Installation and any FC problems nolonger exist. So looks like this was the cause...

My only issues now are:-

Titanuim doesn't show ext2 on it's front page(where is shows space) same with android commander etc..

Track ball doesn't blink till viewed text(just blinks once)..

and sometimes after a reboot both screen time out and ringtones reset to defaults and not what I set them too..

Other than that I finally have a rom that is both very stable and fast.... All works well and can now have a reliable phone finally feel I can use my phone as intended and not worry about sluggish speeds,reboots and FCs etc...

Thank you so much for the rom...

regards

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] desean:
apps2sd is normally working as long as you have an ext partition. it just doesn't show but you can check via adb.

according to erasmux on his floyo topic, the infrastructure in CM sources have changed so he rewrote the apps2sd script to be "more in the lines with the infrastructure that already comes with the CM sources". so perhaps that's why TB is not showing the ext2 on FV 1.7. if you really want to "see" the ext2 partition in TB, flash the apps2sd script from Floyo and you should see it. It should work fine (i am currently using it without issues so far), but nandroid backup first to be safe.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lohtse:
Thank you for that input now only two issues!!! Wahooooooooooooooooooooo

ps the fix worked perfectly!!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Regarding "losing" root, that seems pretty weird... Did you have root via adb? I ask since the ro.secure cannot get changed unless you re-flash a ROM.

I wonder if you had a superuser.apk issue perhaps, being as I honestly can't see you "losing" root, when it's embedded into the ROM. CM roms don't have any security in them like an HTC ROM might, so it's just a case of the Superuser.apk and the su binary...

Weird.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lohtse:
I know it was weird hence me posting about it.... I notice the issue first with root explorer not getting access then with android commander showing it was unrooted. opened z4root and it said was unrooted too.... So I can only assume it was no longer rooted... Rerooted phone and all seems well... Today has so far been the first trouble free day I have had... So something was amiss and all apps pointed too being no longer rooted!!!!

anyway alls well that ends well,

regards

Lohtse
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Ah cool :) Yeah, it's sorted now anyway.

I guess something broke in Superuser.apk, and this replaced it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arty:
hmmm found another prob...but its not really a rom prob...its a theme prob.

i installed the gingerbread theme....and wanted to play "scummVM", but all i get is a black screen after the loading. when i switch back to the build-in themes (stock white/black) it works! so, whats the prob? i also tried a sense theme, but it didnt work either with scummVM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Sounds like a slightly OCD app... :(

Any chance of a logcat, and I can try and take a look at it? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arty:
logcat...ooook...suuuurrre....err....what the? :)

tell me what to do an i do it ^^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Calico5:
anyone finding texts take ages to send? from when i hit send... it can take like 4-5mins to finally give me a time stamp...

Also when making calls... the phone starts ringing, but the screen doesnt show me whos calling for a few seconds... perhaps my screen off speed off speed (19Mhz) is too low.

But that wouldnt explain the SMS problem, dont know if its the ROM or the network.. or the framework i recently flashed :confused: or perhaps the XTG themed version of Launcher pro?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Google for "VillainROM logcat guide" and you should find something :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
The call issue is sleep speed, or sleep governor.

Sms I'm not sure about, as I was texting in real time today in chomp ... could be speed related.

Is it a themed framework you flashed, or a totally different one?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arty:
hmmm well...i tried the latest "unofficial/beta" version of scummvm and that one works, maybe they fixed something...

but this takes me to another prob, lol

i use app2sd with an ext3 partition, i checked if its active and working....it is! but my internal memory is so low ...i.e after the scummvm installation. the apk is 8MB and i lose 16 mb of internal memory...quick system info tells me my app2sd partition is working.

thats what appbrain tells me:

Apps: 91

overall: 123MB

so thats kinda true cuz my ext3 has like 100MB used space.

cant i move the dalvik-cache anymore? i remember i did that on 2.1 with the recovery image...there was an option for it (1.6.xx) but in 1.7.0.1 its gone :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Calico5:
I have upped the sleep speed to run between 172/356Mhz Conservative. I'll see if that sorts out the call issue.

The framework i flashed was the GingerFroyo design for FroydVillain 1.7.2

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=864451

Could that be causing the lag? Even when opening the dialer.. it takes forever to load contacts! :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darthrevan:
When I flashed Froyd 1.5, it downloaded wi-fi settings, wallpaper, user dictionary, all android settings, all free apps.

Now i expected the same, but nothing happened O_o

Does anyone know a way to get all back automatically?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah, that was google restore. Try turning it on in Menu, settings, privacy,
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmmm...

In theory you can use dalvik2cache, with the default recovery etc, just by adding the script.

Given I personally hate that kind of script, I didn't allow for it in the ROM, but if you go get the script from the VR wiki (I think it's there), or one of the older ROMs, then you should be able to give it a go :)

can't promise anything, but I can say your A2SD should be working fine. Any reports it wasn't working appear to be one-off or just a case of not realising it...

But that SHOULD work, though no idea how well it will.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darthrevan:
I enabled it. I guess I had to do it before logging into my account.

Well, I will try now to restore my backup, flash it again, enable google back up and then login into google account.

Will post back results:)

Flashed ubuntu fonts which i love but its really weird because often [] comes up instead of a space in file names and some apps. No problem with normal font so cant see why it would be due to my failure to wipe help anyone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Nah, it's font issues...

#blame dmzda :D

Nah seriously, they're just an addon, I'm not a font guy, so can't support them. Just flash stock ones if it annoys you... I might look into it, but tbh I don't have the time, though you could perhaps ask him if he has any ideas, given this is the "fixed" version.

Does anyone have a dutch or a standaard configuration file for the htc_ime mod ??

A few days ago i tried to install a custom made htc_ime with own picture.

But that failed, and then i tried to install the jonas htc_ime, but that one didn't work.

So i found the good htc_ime mod, only the configuration of jonas is still working.

I only want to enable the hide button on the keyboard, and disable the mic button.

And can't wait for the gps update, still sucks :S

WTF O_O

I installed linpack in 1.7. Restored to 1.5. It restored linpack.

When I restore 1.7 it does not get anything back O_o whats wrong?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Flash the ROM without wipes :) Then flash the updates. That's fastest way :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darthrevan:
it seems, that google backup in froyd 1.5 didn't work. What a shame.

Used another backup program.

Can't say wheter all problems were fixed in 1.7, but it seems a lot faster:)

Great work, team villain

Lockscreen End-call longpress

I flashed FroydVillain 1.7.2 a few days ago and my Hero is happily chugging along.

I have this problem with all recent versions of CM6 based roms (except Floyo*). When the screen lock is on, the endcall button can be long pressed and the shutdown menu is presented.

This isn't a feature, right? It's not a big deal but my 2 year old always manages to reboot the damn phone everytime she's playing with it. Haha.

Just thought I'd get this off my chest... ;)

*I flagged this to eramux on an older version of Floyo and he fixed it some time ago I think.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arty:
install the "ALL device" version of it....there is a link on the villain forum...its like 2MB and the [] probs are gone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] desean:
it is not rom issue. you probably have winamp or doubletwist installed. change the setting in those apps on your desktop.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gocegi:
Was gonna flash this on my Hero, but than saw that Floyo is out :D

Guess what am I using now? :)))

Froydvillain, for some reason, are always buggy as hell, even with the CM 6.1 being the base of it...

I just lost any sort of trust I had for you guys...

well, I had a similar problem, so I can confirm -> it is a solution.

thx a lot
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toxic-hero:
if you have "market226.zip" just flash it, same way as you flashed the rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dark Emotion:
Thanks man , I didnt know that there is zip with market that I can flash...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
hey, I installed new market. now whenever I try to view an actual item in the market it FCs. how do I get the old market back? I tit-backed it up first but the actual app isn't in teh backup it turns out.

and no, I didn't nandroid (yea, it's because I'm a loser idiot LoL).

Sooooo. I could take this moment to flash a new rom :-) but I like your 1.7.2 rom so would rather just leave well enough alone and fix the market to how it was (or get the new one working).

Ideas? others with this same experience? I read on the xda new market thread that flashing back to old market using the supplied flashable zip doesn't work either, but I haven't tried it myself yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
note - I'm going to try pushing vending.apk back from the original rom into /system/app.... crossing fingers... will just finish my current tit-backup first (about 2 minutes left).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
update: pushing vending.apk from the original rom worked fine after a reboot.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Calico5:
I've been using the Themed version of Launcher Pro Found Here but it installs as a normal app and not like a system app that FV1.7.2 comes with.

I just wanted to know would launcher pro work quicker if its running from the internal system? rather than like a normal app?

Hi All,

I had/have some issue with the gps.

When i turned on my gps, my Hero kept rebooting.

So what i did is............. i upgraded the smallband/radio from 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.14 to 63.18.55306SU_6.35.17.03

Now my Hero doesn't reboot anymore.

Only still no working gsp.

Can't wait for the gps update :-)

Hello,

first and formost I'm quite de newb at phone roms so you know...

I really like your rom and it works like a charm except for 1 thing, it recognizes some sort of ghost headphone. It says there is a headphone connected whilst there isnt, this is quite annoying since I cant call without using a headphone.

I came from a ezhero rom (v4) and never had this problem before. What can i do? do I need to update some other things?

Thanks in advance
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Did you do full wipe before installing?

Also might be worth doing a radio update.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ErikL1:
I have done a full wipe (data/cache + the other one) also installed 1.7.1 + 1.7.2.

Current details: android vers 2.2.1.

Radio: 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03

Kernel-version: 2.6.29.6Villain-fly..........11c.....@new #2

done a full wipe again and flashed everything but still it gives the headphone icon (and i cannot hear anything without one ofcourse)

thanks for the quick reply btw!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
I know this probably an obvious suggestion that you've already thought of...but have you checked to make sure that there is nothing stuck in the headphone jack that might be triggering the headphone sensor?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ErikL1:
Was also the first thing I checked, but it seems to be a software issue due to the fact that I dont have this problem when i switch back to my old rom (ezhero)

I tried installing the radio multiple times over (incase it did not write itself in the phone) but under the info it lists the correct version so it seems to be in order..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Gynjanynja:

BUG: empty sms cant be send

Hi,

new to this, so I´ll try to make my self clear.

Sometimes I buy tickets for bus when sending an empty sms. And there is this problem, I tried it with this (and previous 1.6) ROM and it cant be send ... the send button is not acessible, its a bit darker. When I flip the phone to the side gets the button acessible, but the sms cant be send. The number to which I send the sms is a short one 1100.

So when somebody can help me, I would be really happy thanks.

Please can someone send the result of linpack score @ 691 MHz ???

Thank you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deadwilder:
I have same 'disappearing' problem with foursquare.

I get 'missing shared library' error during installation.

luckily, .xml file you posted, fixes this also.

and one more strange thing. my friend just texted me that he recieved SMS from me yesterday evening, same time I flashed phone. of course I didn't sent any texts. I opened messaging just now and I have 2 threads with the same contact. one with messages before flash and second one, with texts recieved today.

so I guess it's better to wipe even when coming from 1.6 (I skiped this of course :) )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] prommindh:
Thanks pulsar_g2, after flashed i found this ROM is faster & more responsive than 1.6, any how to confirm the following;

- HTC IME keyboard - FC

- Twitter / Sharam / Tunwiki - gone and can't re-install from market

- Dialer One disappeared but be able to re-installed from market

Other than that just awesome, battery life look pretty fine too.
