The rom does not contain the radio. You have the radio rom you always had if you never flashed a new one (and I assume you did not). The GPS problem may be because the radio is not compatible with the rom/kernel. Just go here http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?307-Gsm-Hero-Radio-Roms-Download-Links and download the next to latest radio (update-hero-radio-63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.14-signed.zip) and flash it. Check the MD5 sum first to correspond to the one on the page for that file. Do not flash if they differ. Just redownload. For the flash procedure please follow the instructions for Upgrading the Radio (here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=645253) and do not panic if it takes a while to boot, that is normal.

I said to not to download the latest radio because I have had problems with it, and so have others.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] androguns:
Hi Bellor,

I have a few q's:

1. Is the method of flashing new radio similar to that of flashing a ROM (i.e. from recovery -> install from sd card)?

2. The code to check MD5 sum - how do I enter it?

3. What is the issue with sd card...sd card is available through recovery screen, but not when e.g. I try to access music or photo gallery...?

Thanks again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bellor:
1. Flashing a radio starts the same but differs a bit in that the radio actually flashes between 2 boots and also wipes Dalvik automatically... that is why the first boot takes about 5 minutes. Please follow the guide I linked to... you DO NOT NEED ANY MORE HELP ASIDE FROM WHAT IT SAYS THERE. Just follow it to the letter... and please read it before doing the thing.

2. To check MD5 sum search for a free MD5 checker on google. You pick the file, input the given MD5 code and it compares what it gets from the file with what you inputed.

3. With this I cannot help you. Maybe try to make a backup of the card on the computer and then partition the card with Recovery. Try that and see what happens.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fiscidtox:
I don't think that is entirely true. I have never flashed a new radio, yet I have installed a few roms and yet I have the latest radio. Are you sure that no roms ever update radio as well? I assumed they did.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bellor:
You are right. Some cooks may include the radio they feel is best with their rom. Still, this is something very few cooks do anymore since the radio you use is a very subjective choice. Maybe I jumped to conclusions, but in my experience only very "green" cooks do this and then they learn and don't anymore.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] podface:
how do you get to this setting

as in allowing LWP
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] androguns:

Hi,

SD card started working after I deleted some old folders on the card.

Interestingly, I did not have to update the radio. Apart from delay in connecting to mobile network after turning on the phone, everything is working just fine.

One small complaint for this ROM (I haven't tried any other ROMs) is that visually it is not polished like HTC stock. I guess incresed performance is the reason...

Anyway, thanks for your help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zt_lee:
I update the 1.7.2 zip file, but my phone still showing 1.7.1. So is it successful?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bellor:
Yes it was successful. The string was not updated by the dev.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bellor:
@androguns... I agree that this rom does not look as nice and polished as HTC stock... but no roms, except for Sense roms, do. I can guarantee though that Sense slows things down a lot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toxic-hero:
i'm on FV 1.7.2 and very happy with it. is there any special advantage if i upgrade the kernel to the latest flykernel? i think FV 1.7 has version 11 by default (but it's somehow customized to FV) and the latest version is 12.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bellor:
You can and IMHO should upgrade to flykernel 12a. It is much better and battery life increases as well. Just follow erasmux's instructions for flashing on the FV rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tenchi0205:
Have anyone flashed the Flykernel-12a ?

Is that we need to update FlyKernel-12a-CM-App2SD-Compcache 1st?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bellor:
if you do not want to change the values for overclock set by pulser, then all you need to flash is the file you mentioned.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Just back from vacation, but I believe FlyKernel12 should be fine on here, so I will test some time, but I'd recommend giving it a go, per Erasmux's excellent instructions :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Proz0r:
I've flashed Flykernel 12 when it came out and just wanted to say that it works great, everything is a lot faster. I'd recommend flashing it, but Nandroid first! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] squeeish:
This doesn't remove the green LED notification right? :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheRealHero:
I flashed this ROM with the Gingerbread keyboard, Fly kernel 12 and the latest radio. All around improvement.. Great battery life, super fast and good reception. Thanks Villain team for yet another fantastic ROM!

I restored my apps using Titanium Backup and all the apps were working fine until yesterday. Since yesterday, I am unable to install/uninstall any apps either from Market or using Titanium Backup. The app downloads from Market and hangs at 'installing". In Application manager, I also noticed that most of the apps on SD are forever "computing". I realize this must be something to do with my SD. I have tried wiping dalvik cache, cache and EXT partition with no luck. I hope someone here can guide me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Nope. it doesn't :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmmm... This is a weird one. Is a nandroid, and wipe-install possible? Then see if it works. If not, might need to re-partition the Sd card, which would wipe all the data from it, so you would need to back it up.

It does seem strange, but if it was random, it seems like an SD issue of sorts.

Got a spare SD to test with?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] red4:
its gud to see u bak. its been a bit slow here while you wernt around. went newhere nice? well newheres gotta be better than scotland :D jk
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] duoxx:
Hi,

Just want to check, when you go to "About phone", does it still show 1.7.1 after installing 1.7.2 update ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cero92:
Thanks a lot for this great rom :)

I have a strange problem : sometimes, when i wake it up, i see the screen upside down and with strange colours... but if i put it on standby again and then wake up it comes back to normal so it's not a big problem... it happened twice for me in 3 days
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
That is normal
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hehe thanks. You're right about that. Was in Austria, good snow too :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Increase minimum speed in cpu speed, or change sleep governor to interactive.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B-bal:
This rom is great but the market is still not showing a few apps, I flashed the two updates and cleared the market data but still no succes...:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheRealHero:
Didn't want to go down that route again as I have only just wiped everything and did a fresh install. But if that's the only way, I will give it a go. Can the SD be repartitioned from the recovery? Also, what are the recommended partition sizes? Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Which apps are missing? The 1.7.1 patch fixed all this IIRC
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah, I know how it feels :(

SD can be partitioned from recovery, but remember to back everything up first. I'd partition it first, and see if that works, before wiping. You can use titanium backup to back up apps and settings, just remember to copy that from the sd to the pc before partitioning SD

The sizes vary, but I'd suggest 256MB for EXT2, and rest for FAT32. No swap. The apps part depends on how many apps you have, so just use common sense, leave some space for more, and obviously it depends on your SD card size to begin with... I use a 376 MB one iirc (well, roughly that size) on an 8GB card.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] theodore80:
USB does not work properly. It only charges my phone. I can't copy files to my sd via usb. Any fix on this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Cero92:
Right, i didn't thought about it... thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] duoxx:
USB still works well for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MAMBO04:
I'm installing this ROM for my mate's HTC Hero, it's rooted and i've wiped it via recovery/dalvik cache etc. Installed v1.7.0 but keep on getting a boot loop. Anything i'm doing wrong?

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I think we'll start with the obvious first:

Are you sure his phone is a GSM hero? if it's cdma then this rom would be very, very bad.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MAMBO04:
Yup, 100% sure.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
then damned if I know.

sorry!

pulser?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MentalDeath:
What version of AmonRA are you using, or clockwork? Make sure it is the newest version, boot in to recovery wipe all (factory reset, dalvik, cache, ext partition, batt stats the last one I can remember, then reflash the ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MAMBO04:
I'm using RA-Hero-v1.7.0.1, that's the latest if i'm not mistaken?

Will try what you said again, see what happens.

Thanks.

EDIT: Got it booting. Simply needed everything to be wiped, thanks mate!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheRealHero:
How do I partition in FAT32 from recovery? I only see EXT2 to EXT3 and EXT3 to EXT4 options :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheRealHero:
I also have the same issue. If I reboot my phone whilst connected to USB, I get the Mount USB option, but the phone freezes if I try to mount USB.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheRealHero:
Seems like repartitioning my SD card fixed both my issues.. Thanks!

@ theodore80

Do a full backup of your SD and try partitioning your SD as pulser_g2 mentioned above. I also performed a cache\dalvik cache\SD:Ext partition\rotate settings\battery stats wipe. Try and let us know how you get on.

And yeah... Titanium Backup is a life saver!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Glad to hear you got it sorted.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cbailey:
Said it before.....but great rom. I had started to hate the sluggishness of my Hero but this has squeezed the last ounce of power and I rate the phone again.

Been running it without issue for nearly a month :o

Good work Pulser

Thanks mate
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
I'm using that patch on Floyo now, and to be honest I can't say that I see much difference at all. But hey, it's a higher version number and it's something new to flash, so I'm not complaining. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
I did the same, and it seems Gallery3D loads pictures a bit faster. Angry Birds is still very, very unplayable.

2 Problems here :

1st my wifi doesnt work (1.7.0)

2 how do i update the easyst way to 1.7.2
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sjauquet:
This rom is amazing, I've installed it on the hero of my wife, she doesn't use it very much, but now the battery is at 58% and last plugged ... 3days and 8 hours ago !!!

I was amazed !!! (I've a desire and this is a dream...)

p.s. donated !

Edit: p.s. with wifi on and sipdroid, auto flightmode during night (23h30 -> 7h00)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
1. Do 2 first then try again

2. Get zip for 1.7.1 and 1.7.2. Put on root of sd card and flash in that order , no reboot needed between the two.

Boot phone, will say 1.7.1 but don't panic
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
You're right! Gallery 3D is quite a bit faster at rendering now. thanks for pointing that out. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] anooz:
Thanks TeamVillaim for such a great ROM.

I have one problem regarding APP2SD. My apps are occupying phone storage memory though i move them to SD card. Initially during fresh installation i have around 140 mb memory but now only 60 mb memory left. Why so ?

I have created ext partition in my sd card.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gackaass:
is there anyway to upgrade the launcherPro?

i couldn't reinstall new one

hi.it's a really great rom ... i`ve got just 2-3 fc in 2-3 weeks,but,is there a way to calibrate G-sensor or to disable this future in your rom? i didn't found anything.thanks !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Proz0r:
@andreimetal

You can disable it via the power control.

I can't believe the alarm plays through the headphones if they're connected... Is there a way to fix this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bellor:
Yes, you can change that. Just go to settings/villain settings /sound settings and choose alarms as play through speaker.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Proz0r:
Oh my God, you're the best, thanks! :D I'll press the Thanks button as soon as I get to my PC.

Hi

Firstly - great ROM, it (yet again) removed any justification for replacing my old Hero....

I have one (slightly weird) issue.

Sometimes (irregularly though) my Hero doesnt power up the screen when I press the power button. (Screen stays blank, but buttons light up correctly)

Hero is still working as notifications etc still sound - pressing power will eventually result in screen displaying correctly.

Not reproducible when connected to PC via USB, so logcat is tricky - is there a way to do this with out PC connection?

Running 1.7.2, did full wipe before 1.7.0 flash, using standard kernel with smartass CPU adjustment method and 176 min 576 max and smartass adjustment for screen off.

Anyone else get this?

Any suggestions for fixes or additional diagnosis??

Cheers and Thanks!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
The first thing to try is a higher minimum frequency. A different governor (i.e. interactive instead of smartass) can also sometimes solve this problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jevonsx:
i think i can't browse flash on the internet now

and i discover there's no flash player in my hero

how can i solve that??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toxic-hero:
there is no way except from going back to some sense rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Correct. AOSP based ROMs like those from CM sources don't do flash, but you could try the Skyfire browser or Dolphin HD which might have basic support ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yep, as stated, increase minimum speed, and you're sorted :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] avlahop:
Downloaded it flashed it works perfectly....love it... few minor issues cause I come from sense...

1)I loved the way sense integrated

With gn especially the birthday part... can it be done with with android stock contracts and fb app?also I can't seem to find anywhere the way to add birthday field I'm my contacts could u be of any assistance somehow?thank u for great ROM. Greetings from Greece
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndrewWalker613:
this is what I was going to post about.

I did all the flashing and it still said 1.7.1 and was confused because i did the 7.2 update as well.

Is that normal?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] toxic-hero:
yes it is. it's been answered many times: the cook of this brilliant ROM (pulser) just forgot to change it to 1.7.2
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] avlahop:
I also want to report some small issues with sound... mostly on music videos or sometimes on notifications. Any fix on that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] doehr:
Hi,

i've got a huge problem regarding the Market and google Talk. I've been using the 1.7.2 Rom for quite a while and it all worked perfectly well.

One day, i flashed the new fly kernel and a new radio (don't ask me why, probably because i like everything being up to date!). I'm not sure whether or not its because of these updates but after 2 days or so (maybe right after these updates and i didn't notice) i was'nt able to download any (paid or free) apps from the market and the talk app could'nt connect any more.

I know that this isn't probably the right thread and i also read several threads about this kind of problem with several suggestions to solve this problem but none worked for me. Im a little desperate because i tried so many things:

-deleted all data for the market, download manager and talk

-installed a 2.1 rom, couldnt download neither

-did a nandroid restore from a date where everything worked

-wiped cache in recovery

-wiped to factory reset in recovery

Maybe anyone has a magical solution?

edit: are the radios region specific?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spyrus86:
The signal is very low and my voice get lost while I talk to the phone
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] desean:
afaik, that is the contacts app problem. it can view the birthday view but cannot edit or add.

this would be a radio issue rather then rom issue i believe. try the latest radio or a few versions later (see my sig for links).

Can i find any themes for this rom?or does launcher pro has thes in the market like adw does...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Themes for rom at the release site, back up a step, under the FroydVillain 1.7 themes section.

Quite a few available
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] geniy1982:
Does the ambient temperature has any impact on the battery life? I've noticed that listening to the music outside (it is -22C here) drains the charge dramatically (10% in 15 minutes).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bellor:


Seeing as lithium batteries start to drip current at -5 degrees celsius... and you are using your phone at 4 times less degrees, I am amazed your phone still works. Anyway, I don't think htc guarantees functionality below 5 degrees celsius. So the behaviour you are experiencing is to be expected.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] avlahop:
You think it can be an added feature(the birthday one)i saw an LG optimus which everything looks like vanilla but contacts did have birthday add...still it's a great Rom

Proxy Switcher!

Hi All,

Love the Proxy Switcher that Pulser added to this rom but it ONLY works on browsing.

If I try Whats App or Google Maps for example or the sky News widget or maybe the facebook app it just doesn't load.

Those items are NOT blocked at work but still don't work.

Facebook app just gives error fetching data.

Does the proxy server settings ONLY work for browsing and not across the rest of the devices internet areas?

i got a cracked verion but it keep saying the installation is fail
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Ummm... best not to go about talking about cracked software etc. Not for xda...

You are going to fall into the pitfalls of package manager and signatures.

using the official market version and buying plus update is your best bet. Uninstall any old versions and reboot, then install official version from market.

You need to install another launcher in the meantime.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
That's a cyanogenmod change that Revoked fixed. I think it should work for any application.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Funkyfin2000:
Well it doesn't seem to pulser on mine?

Any tips of anything I can do to sort?

Ive tried using any apps through it and google maps doesn't load nor does facebook app etc. Web browsing is spot on though!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] luculuc:
Since I flashed this rom, the"low on space" message appear when there is less than 17 mb available on internal memory compared with 15mb worth the stock rom... As you are aware of when this message appear, there is no synchronization... Do you know a way to lower the limit or make it possible to synchronize even worth the notification? I am fed up to uninstall or wipe data ! Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Are you not using aps2d partition?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
If you use an EXT partition on sd for apps, it should be fine
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] luculuc:
I do have a app2sd partition, and I use it but for some apps like opera mini or other browser, the data goes to the internal memory and I have no way to move it even if the apk is on the sd... I use titanium to move my apps to sd when they are not directly installed there (that happens even if I ticked the option to automatically install on sd)

So as a result it eats all my space. So maybe you know to move the data on sd or lowering the limit for the low memory...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] loxaXcracker:
This ROM is great with lots of features, but for me it's extremely unstable. It keeps crashing (goes to the "VillainRom" with the red eyed android robot) and stays there until I pull out the battery.

Also apps often don't open and need a full device reboot.

I think this is mainly caused by the fact that I use apps2sd?

I'm pretty sure that if I make everything work off of the phone's storage it'll work just fine, but then again I need more app space..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Strange...

What CPU speeds are you using?

Have you tried a wipe and re-install from scratch, including a backup and wipe of EXT partition?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Funkyfin2000:
#Hi Pulser,

What does this mean exactly? Is there a fix?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cartman333:
Are you guys still alive? :D

no new rom for our hero since december 7 :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Athrun88:
I found that if you use Apps2SD or the built in version (move to SD from the applications menu) after you reboot your phone, you have to give it a minute or 3 to let the phone get all the information it needs to boot up your apps. I would try rebooting and letting it "boot" for 2 minutes AFTER your lockscreen shows up, then you should be dandy.

Pulsar - I can't wait to see what you can do with Gingerbread (if you have plans for that, that is..) Did a great job with Froyo so I can imagine how good your GB offering will be. Thanks!

Regards.
