Been using this ROM for over 2 months. Tried the final CM7 and came back. I'm looking forward to your next release.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] henrymiller13:
edit - wrong thread:confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AZ2ENVY:
Installed this and I keep getting an android.process.media force close window all the time now . Any ideas ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Try to reflash. If it keeps happening redownload the rom, it might be a bad download
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eioous:
What's the best way to get the rotary (revamped) lockscreen on this rom?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
Did you do a full data wipe? That's most likely the cause of your problems.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] urmybaby:
v2.0 is not coming anymore?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blackknightavalon:
There doesn't seem to be much love for this ROM anymore. PyroMod is what this one used to be: stable, fast, and supports the real A2SD.

I agree... its been at least a month since the dev last posted here.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
If you want you can try my version very similair and it runes fast and stable on newest cm builds while maintaing stock look/feel removed almost all cm junk
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
... It will come. The Devs of TeamVillain is pretty amazing so I know that this Rom in particular will get updated, I don't know when but I know it will.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kevinik:
I tried your ROM for a bit, it looks and runs great.

HTC Desire Z/Vision/G2

"A priority for me will be a new Gingerbread vanilla build, which will replace the current GingerVillain. I don’t expect work to start on this until mid-April, so please bear with me."

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xboarder56:
if you guys have any features you want i would be glad to try and add them. still learning this whole dev thing im only 15
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cionn:
Installed it on my Vision and it's perfect.

But I have some questions, I can't find the option for battery percentage and where can i set the CPU to stay on 1,5GHz??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] d@rklink:
The battery percentage option should be within the status bar tweaks section of the cyanogenmod settings. To be exact, go to Settings > Cyanogenmod Settings > Interface > Status Bar Tweaks and check the box for battery percentage. After that, reboot the phone.

In regards to setting the CPU to 1.5GHz and keeping it that way, you would need an app like SetCPU. Using SetCPU you can set the highest clock value but the CPU speed will still drop based on the phone's dividers. There is no way, AFAIK, to always run the device at your max overclock. The max CPU will be used when running apps and things like that, but will then drop back down to 245/368/768/806MHz and so on if full CPU utilization is not needed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cionn:
The problem is that there ain't no Cyanogenmod Settings.

Just GingerVillain and then under Interface, there's no Status bar tweaks :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] d@rklink:
Sorry about that. It's been a while since I was using GV 1.5. The ROM is based off of CM7 but a much older build and I don't think it has those settings. I apologize. I'm on xboarder's ROM currently, waiting on GV 2.0.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lumberjack40:
so can i just flash this over CM7, or do i have to wipe before flashing (1.5)?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hungyellow:
Wipe before you flash GV 1.5
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Your only 15? High hopes for you man. I bet you will be developer for some company in the future lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lightningtrip:
any updates on a release time-frame ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] AndroidHAX:
Keep it up man, just helping out around here and doing little things on my own helped me alot, im 18 and already have a job with a big time medical company.

Man, I can't wait! Please add the long press on the notification widgets that brings you to it's settings. Great feature.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] composites:
Really sad to hear the next version will be the last for this ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eioous:
i agree. too bad we had to wait like two months for it to be the last update.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Sounds like lots of complaining in this thread when you should just be thankful for what we got. Not to mention there is at least five other highly popular currently supported "updates all the time" roms, that frankly are better and more up to date than this one. To each his own but this sounds like a lot of crying over spilled milk.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blackknightavalon:
Don't you guys know not to ask for ETAs from devs? I've been running my current ROM for less than a day and it's a worthy successor to a once-cutting edge ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] urmybaby:
I hope the next update will not be the last one because HTC SENSATION will not come out until June 8th.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eioous:
mmmm.....spilled milk.:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
I'm assuming they have said they are moving to that phone and abandoning this one?

Lmfao.:)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kantbstopped519:
lol i think he gave up
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Smartenup:
In all seriousness, even though a newer version as trouble free as this one would be great, I am happy not to have to spend time setting up my phone. LOL

HTC Vision Baby
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
I hear you on that. I always install a new rom, 10 minutes go by, and i'm like screw this i'm not in the mood for all this setup crap. Even with restoring a titanium backup with all data, it's still a pain in the ass and takes a few days to "feel" like everything is set right. Sometimes it's too much trouble!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
bump for 2.0... haven't checked twitter, is it still coming (at some point?)

I'm digging my current setup so I don't really care one way or the other, just would be nice to know. Gv was the best a couple of months ago.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MajorTom_:
is this rom dead?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Hard to say. I personally think it is not. Seems like the dev for this rom is busy.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eioous:
From nprussell's Twitter. Read the top tweet. So, maybe we will see this before the sensation comes out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ickedmel:
I would really love to see an update for this room, even though this version is very awesome maybe some tweaks would be cool.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] urmybaby:
I gave up already on this rom..... waiting to see sensation
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ashaman_Kupo:
He said he's stopping development after this update. He's going onto that Sensation phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nprussell:
Hey. The ROM isn't dead - it's just constantly delayed due to other things I'm having to work on. I'm currently setting up a huge Android website, and I put the roms on the back-burner temporarily!

However, last week I re-started work on GingerVillain 2.0, which I will get finished as soon as possible. I'm away with work in Orlando until next Monday, so it'll be just after that I am hoping. I'll try to keep you updated on twitter :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
I told you guys he was busy lol. Well thanks for the update.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
appreciate the update, russell. & no worries on the delay, we have a pretty solid group of devs tiding us over until your next release. :)

I'll keep an eye on your twitter and post any updates I see regarding GV here for everyone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ickedmel:
Thanks for the update woot!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ickedmel:
Hey I'm trying to run the new netflix app for andriod that's suppose to stream from your phone and g2 is suppose to be supported, I'm running this rom but it I don't get any picture when streaming only sound wondering if anyone else with this rom is having the same problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Spastic909:

I'm sure the update will come soon

Just be patient

I think team villain is working really hard on building a website, and I think it's gonna be much more elaborate than your run of the mill wordpress dealy. It might be eating up their collective efforts.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kantbstopped519:
this is taking way too long to update, i waited & waited patiently for months without an update but then i decided to switch to xboarder's cm7/stock gb rom about a week ago & i haven't looked back since, way smoother & a lot of free ram. i'm still keeping an eye on gingervillain but i doubt it's gonna live up to 4 months of waiting
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] eioous:
+1, couldnt agree more
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lightningtrip:
it was a great rom, 6 months ago, but the promise of an update is making alot of people antsy...and the devs keeps saying its in the works, but are they talking gingerbread or Ice Cream??..seriously

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
you and me both, man. I posted on that site about how disappointed these guys have made me, especially after having such a good experience with them over on the MT4G forum when i had that phone, and they were one of the reasons I was excited to be over here. Good thing we have other awesome devs like Blah4blah, rmk, and siulmagic :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
:rolleyes:

it's a custom rom for a fancy telephone, guys. what's more, it's provided free of charge, even despite the massive amount of time that must be devoted to creating it.

get over it and download something else, you don't have to come on here and make passive aggressive, whiny comments to the devs. he's got a job now; a good job. be happy for the guy and don't boycott him for having a life. it's not like you invested your life savings with the dude and then he ran off to the bahamas never to be heard from again.

I, for one, await GV2.0 (or whatever it will be called) patiently. if it never comes, I'll be perfectly fine with the other selection of roms we have available.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blackknightavalon:
This is going to be the Duke Nukem Forever of ROMs. The "update" will be 14 years in the making and will only be released when the rights to "VillainROM" is sold to an outside interest.

Don't forget the fake screenshots of the supposed new Rom.

Haha true that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
personally, I'm more anxious to see what HomerSP comes up with for his SenseGinger ROM, if he ever gets back to it. I love sense, but Id prefer to see some stability come to the rom, along with SD-ext support if possible, to leave the internal memory for the ravenous sense widgets and apps without killing my battery in less than 9 hours.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Don't know. I know his working on a tablet right now. Will be nice if he does come back
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmwils3:
yeah, it sure would. heck, if I could just get a reply to my questions to him asking if its possible, and if he would mind outlining the process for me to do it myself, that'd be great.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lainvalenajr:
Yea that would be great.

Have you noticed that the volume controls don't work when playing audio? I've only gotten the volume control to work on my Droid 2 when making a call, not playing audio. Disconnecting from my Droid 2 and connecting to my iPod Touch, I've had the same problem. I love these headphones, but not being able to control the audio is a bit of a bummer; not a deal killer, but a bummer.

I haven't experienced that at all. In fact I'm listening to them right now and work perfectly.

As you guys all know Darkstone made a build that runs off the phones ram which i find is a fast build but Cotulla has released his nand desire build. So..which one is faster? any advantages/disadvantages between the two?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tinuz97:
For me (when i do not look at quadrant score) the NAND is much smoother.

Ok the quadrant score is lower,but that is because of i/o writes.

But graphical is is faster,i love it
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hrockh:
Try it yourself first?? So you have your own feedback ready to share..

By the way I'm gonna try now both of them for few days each.. let you know then.

Happy new year dude
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] miguel4u2:
I actually already tried them both. Nand needs a little more playing around with but it seems smoother. Or maybe its all in our head that nand is smoother since we have been waiting for it so long:D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hossshad:
I have the ram version its very fast it satisfies me but I wanna know about the ROM release, please share ur Xperience
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonny68:
Both Dark Stone and Cotulla and his team deserve to be commended for their efforts,nice one folks:)

I have yet to try the NAND ROM but i have Dark Stones Froyo SUPERAM Build on my phone and have had little or no trouble at all and the most important thing is - it is blazing fast,much much faster than any other build ive tried so i would be inclined to stick with the build that is faster,ill keep an eye on Cotullas thread and may try it but for me the speedness of SUPERAM is the winner but everyones different.;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] s7even.tsai:
I thought most of the task killer are trying to release RAM . and says it saves battery also. now you are going load your going to the RAM. any expert can explain this ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] miguel4u2:
try it, you wont lose anything. I still prefer mdj's gingerbread ram build but not because its faster but because of the builds gui and mods he has done to the build but if he were to transfer that into a nand build i would be in there
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pkchips:
Well, from what I've seen so far smoothness-wise NAND Desire stock is good.

However, market downloading speed for me with Darkstone's build is over 1mb/sec, with Cotulla's build it's more like 250kb/sec. That's still reasonable but not amazing.

Additionally, whilst reinstalling my programs which I've backed up with ASTRO, it's quite clear to me that darkstone's RAM build was faster in installing applications.

ON THE OTHER HAND,

the NAND build wakes up instantly, as in INSTANTLY, when you press a button, even when it's sluggish due to being in the middle of loads of work.

So far, this is all I've noticed though I'm sure I will notice more as time goes on.

Does NAND flash do anything for battery life?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bwprado:
My main focus is power consumption, my HD2 can't handle more than 6 hours of heavy use. I receive/make calls a lot, and I constantly use the messaging system... I have to be plugged in all the time, that sucks. Is NAND better battery wise?

[]'s
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] evolutionqy7:
U can't modify ram builds extensively cause they are read only. U can mod NAND. In performance its seems to be on different. Except slower booting

Don't think we will know about battery for a week. We will see :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jae-v:
as stated, only really thing i liked about ram was the quick boot but being the hardcore user i am i was constantly getting the device full error and needing to reboot due to max ram usage. Nand all the way
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] manish2039:
I really love the NAND and the Ram versions (thanks devs)

They are both smooth and working fast, but the problem I have is the amount of space for the apps.

The RAM version would let me install all my apps into the SD card as the DATA file is found in the SD card. Yet with NAND I can only install a handful of apps which in my opinion is the biggest disadvantage other than that I’m happy with the NAND version and still testing
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] romskii:
to these who are running nand or ram builds

The main Question is the batterylife. Can anyone say somethig about this? How is it on RAM and how on NAND builds? That is the 1st fakt i want to look at.

And how about the Market download speed? On SD builds it's very slow, any changes?

At RAM builds there are still things like GPS not working, so they are nothing for me, at NAND builds i don't read anything that doesn't work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] windroidHD:
I have two HD2's

First HD2, DarkStone SuperRAM 1.5 with patches from that thread, 5mA with correct configuration. Lot's of free RAM. After 10 hours usage with auto sync on, mobile data off lost about 10% of battery.

Second HD2, LEO "Stock" NAND Android, bunch of HTC apps/services running in the background, started with 3 to 5mA in standby right now. It fluctuated to 60mA, but came back to 4mA now, will have to check how it does over normal usage for couple of days.

NAND UI is faster than RAM.

Bottom line, based on your configuration mA in standby will vary, I feel HTC is too much of bloatware and designed for non-geek demographic.

Update: Unless you really love all HTC Sense, HTC background apps, widgets and services, I would suggest not to install stock NAND ROM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] edangel:
i tried already 2 nand roms...all i can say that nand rom is fast indeed..!tried stock desire and desire HD nands rom for hd2..

So...nand is very stable and responsive..no lags at all!all works great..!the only bad thing is that your phone memory is low!!with desire stock phone memory is 80mb and desire hd nand is 156 mb..!compared to ram version u can extend your data.img so u can have more phone memory,ram is much faster than nand i think..hastarin and even darkstone stated it..!i think cotulla also i agreed..!i made benchmark scores with nand and was 1400 on dhd and 1200 on stock desire while ram desire stock gave 1700+..neocore on nand is 30.7 fps while on ram is 31.6fps !i tried games on nand such as asphalt avatar nova and lags while on ram dont!overall nand is great for those who want to get rid of winmo!battery is a bit much better on nand :)

thats all from..i suggest people try nand..its great!it is very easy to install and if you are not like it...it is very easy also to boot back to stock or custom winmo roms!

thanks cottula for all this and the devs for making all this possible :D:D:D..have a happy new year
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] yjhuoh:
do nand builds finally get rid of the screen wakeup lag problems? running android off sd on my hd2, and sometimes the screen doesn't wakeup when i press buttons.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dan138zig:
wait. 10 hours of usage and 90% battery remains. doesn't feel right. :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] windroidHD:
10 hours of usage with auto sync on. not necessarily 10 hours display on.

I think I have to find some other ROM for NAND, DFT LEO Stock NAND Android is running too many junk HTC app's and services in the background.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tdizzle404:
NAND

I'm NAND all the way! Try it if you want to know why. You won't regret it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dan138zig:
still, it's too amazing. the way i see it, people usually lose 1% of battery per hour in standby (=10% lost in 10 hours). that is about 5-9 mA of drain. but you also use the phone a couple of times during those 10 hours, right? using the phone means there are moments where the phone consumes 100-400 mA. so, how do you get the same battery life with people who put the phone in standby without any usage?
