I woke up in the morning and the time in my Topbar is showing the wrong time. Reboot, reboot with cache wipes does not help. I have it set to automatically detect but it doesn´t from the morning and I have internet and satellite connection as well as full bars...anybody can help?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shamoney:

Still Using this Rom after trying many others, Never had any problems, its fast, and I think, the best we ever gonna get on our heroes, Elelinux, you a legend!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zolmajstor:
hy guys,,,any chanse of putting flipclock widget in this rom?

Guys, I understand that these are noob questions, but I just must ask you.

Now I VillainROM-v13, and my radio is 63.18.55.06ju_6.35.09.26.

1. Is this rom lighter (damn my internal memory is 90% full and I did install only few programs)?

2. Any faster than 2.1 based VillainROM-v13?

3. Has any unsolved bugs?

4. Apps2SD works by default?

And please, don't kick me, I know these are very noob questions. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
@shadow_fi :

1. it's not lighter, App2sd-EXT fully works on AOSP roms so no programs that you install end up in internal memory unlike Sense roms where App2sd-ext works when it wants.

2. I think it's faster

3. No bugs included :D

4. Yes fully App2sd-EXT
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] m4rk84:
This rom is far faster than 2.1. It's the pinnacle of hero roms. Cheers ele
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shadow_fi:
Is my radio ok? Do I need to update?

And will LauncherPRO work with this rom installed from market?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
LauncherPro works

you could update the radio if you want from here: HTC Hero Radios

Make a nandroid backup before flashing this rom just in case you want to revert back to VillainRom 13
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shadow_fi:
What about App2SD. Do I need to reformat my SD card? I just leave as it was on 2.1 and the rom will automatically install apps to sd?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Ciprilik:
do you have a ext partition?if yes then you only need to wipe everything and the ext partition. If u don't have an ext partition .. then I can't answer your question as I am using a ext partition.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Since the battery life on the 2.3 roms, got worse then on 2.2 roms. I switched back to this one. Made some changes to the theme, removed some apps added some others and done :D

All happy and the speed is nice to have again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] biggary:
I too went from Elelinux Gingerbread back to this rom, it does live up to its name :) BTW whats the best program to remove apps and how you change theme? cant work out what to do on the theme kitchen
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Well I remove and add apps before I even install the rom, I changed the theme a little with the UOT Kitchen and the framework-res I got from that, I just smashed in the rom.zip. I changed the build.prob a little so the screen density is lower :P and some other stuff. Signed the zip and flashed it. And tada done.

The rom I like the way I want it to be.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kenleong:
I went from Ele gingerbread to this then to now froydvillain 1.7.2-R2. Was wondering to go back to Ele GB 3.0 or not...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
The reason I went back to this one is because of the poor battery life, and the apperently poor performance on every GB rom.

And Froyd is out dated, it has that security fix and all that. But most people make a big problem of it. well just dont do personal stuff on your phone that can risk your bank account or stuff like that :P

And this one feels faster and more stable then FV 1.7.2 R2
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lefsp:
wait I got confused! which one of the two has the security fix this one or Froyd?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Froyd villain 1.7.2 R2 has.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
The battery life is the same, even if you use Villain ROM 13 with sense.... It depends on the settings you use on the phone and if you let the data connection open all the time;)

The roms can be with the same speed, it depends on how "tuned" they are:D. I agree that a Sense rom can be same as the stock version of android, but you use what is more common with your daily use:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lefsp:
this ROM is close to perfection it is light and speedy, just what we need for our nowadays constrained Hero!

but I have a problem, a rather serious one

does anybody else have problem with in-call dialing? I tried to top up my prepaid today and I couldn't get into the menu.. pressing 1 or other digits just does nothing.. it seems like it is sending a command but it is probably a wrong one..

I called their service center too, the same (I could not get in the IVR)

I restored to 2.1 just to be sure that there is nothing wrong with my network and it works now

any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notea:
loving this rom today =)

only problem i'm having is after taking a few photos (more like 4 or 5) the camera seems to stop responding, the app froze immediately after taking a photo (it saved it still though) and i had to take my battery out.

trying again resulted in a black screen where the camera image would be in the app, killing the camera app and relauching it just gave me an entirely black screen, i could kill it or return to my homescreen but it's still the same (guessing until a rebbot)

anybody have similar problems?

running this ROMv4 (obvioulsy) with the stock aosp theme. and my CPU is slightly overclocked (this could well be the cuplrit, so am going to try without the OC) wondered if anybody else has this problem? or can suggest a fix?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
incorrect.

sorry... but this rom gets far more battery life without having to disable data or anything than JieeHD's gb sense rom gets without disabling data or anything. even wtih the sense rom's battery saver turned on it doesn't last nearly as long as the other roms I'm comparing to in this text.

same apps, same settings, same everything. I flash new roms all the time and work with them and develop for them daily - the facts about battery life are true.

Erasmux's 2.2 sense rom has outstanding battery life, again with the same settings for everything.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SchinTeth:
There seem to be a lot of people relying on this mod (as do I) and I was thinking that maybe Elelinux could, if possible, provide some updates if there are any major changes so that we could keep this Rom as a daily working rom that is maintained somehow...

Anyways, I use this for now over a month and never had a single problem with it, outstanding piece of work/art!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Well no update is really needed, only basic apps that are in the rom from the start can use an update. but you all can do that yourself. And I am still happy with my theme on it and the batterylife. It does not do well in sleepmode like Gingerbread but Ginger sorta well sucks when the screen is on, and this one does not.

I like HeroLatte but it is still a little to slugish for my feel.

I am thinking of uploading my version of the install zip. With the theme I use in it. And LP instead of ADW :P and some stuff removed. Wich you can get all updated and all from the market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thomaas:
That sounds good! Could you upload your rom? Or send me a link?

Would be great!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Ok I will Ill post some screenies to with it. But my upload speed is like slow, so it will take some time.

EDIT: In 10 min it will be uploaded, but since I am gonna take a shower now the link will be a bit later.

It is still the Speedmachine rom, it's just added a few apps and removed a few apps and such, just like I and many others do ourselves everytime we flash a new rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] notea:
anybody have this then? it wasn't the OC. seems the post got lost in all the cuffuffle of the edited version.

i'm also getting an installation/update unsuccessful error on certain apps. 'Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card' just some apps do it, today it is burn the rope, but it will always do it no matter how many time i try (i'm updating the existing app, but it happens on new installs with some apps too)

Internal memory has plenty space, well 130MB or so, the ext partition is 1GB, not sure how to check if it's full or not, but i highly doubt it. only got 20 or so apps.

another thing i'd like to know is if the rotary lockscreen unlocker (i.e. the rotary part, can be used for the dialer on incoming calls.. can't find an option for this anywhere.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thomaas:
Thanks man! I'm currently trying your specifications! I like your selection of deleted apps except the Email.apk (I pushed it on the phone again) but the rest is really cool! More than ever the density change!! Makes my hero look like a new phone ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
For me its not about the numbers :P I just shared what I like and show it to the community and they can use it if they like

I would think your rom is just not 100% completly installed I can make photo's till I die, and I did so when I was at the swimmin pool :P I would try a reinstall to see if you still got it, and with that, I mean a redownload of the rom and a full wipe and then install, Make a backup just incase.

Thanks for the feedback :D yea the email app is for the most a keeper but since I got my own domain to work with Gmail imjager.com I dont need that email app anylonger and just use the Gmail app. Yea and the density change is nice :D Gota thanks RaduG for that. Cuss I got the idea from his rom :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
My theme is now about finished. There has been hasn't been much response on it (maybe because the Speedmachine theme already is really goodlooking? :P), but if you like you can add it to the OP as an option :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thomaas:
hey rdejager,

how did you cook your rom? I would also like to try it. First and foremost I would like to know how I can delete apps from existing roms. Can you provide me with a tutorial or anything else?

thanks,

thomas
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
You open up the zip file of the Rom you want and delete the Apk files you want to get rid of in system - > app. You can also add apks. If you use clockwork recovery you can just flash the zip strait away, but if you use amon_ra you need to sign. I use autosigner. It's really easy to use :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Like he said, I just added the theme zip file to, extracted it to the install rom to.

And about that app, Thanks for that link :P I use some CMD thingy. Wich also works but is not as nice XD so thanks for that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thomaas:
Thanks guys, I'll def try this when I'm flashing a rom next time! But is there a chance to delete (system) apks from my current rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
Yes, you can either delete them manually by using root explorer, super manager or something similar. Or you can download root uninstaller (i think titanium backup can do this as well ) from market. Note that if you happen to delete apps that make the system crash, just reflash your Rom with only cache and dalvik wipe (though you then have to uninstall all the system apps again :-P ).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
First I want to say that I LOVE this rom!! ;)

But the app SMS backup+ doesn't work - token request error. I happens only with this rom. Anyone tried it?...

Guys I need your help, and fast. I need to go far away today, and need to get my phone working again.

My problem is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1200080

Anyway, I can't get my 32Gb new SD card to work properly with this rom. This rom was very stable, and worked very good on my 2Gb sd card.

Yesterday I bought 32Gb Class 4 Kingston microSDHC card, and now my phone is very unstable.

I formated my SD card in Windows to Fat32, because my phone didn't really want to do it.

Now, it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Any idea how to fix? Need ROM reinstall? Need to repartition it somehow? Any ideas whats wrong. It seems that problem hides in App2SD. Because phone hang when i try to run app from SD card. Also I have many ForceCloses.

What is happening? Please guys, help me out.

P.S

Do I need ext2 partition with this rom? Or Fat32 is ok?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Atenaa:
You need ext partition to have A2SD. I have and this superb rom works like a charm in my hero...:)

By the way...Elelinux, someone should raise You a statue..... :o ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shadow_fi:
Really? Lol, why i had everything working without any ext partition on my old 2Gb SD card?

This makes me crazy. Elelinux Finland needs your help.. :D

I mean, I tried almost every solution. Format in linux, format in DOS without LBA, tried to change cluster size. And every time it has a bug. I mena, apps can work from sd, but I can't unmount SD card. If I put in USB and phone tries unmount it.... It just doest quick reboot of rom. After what android tells me, size of sd card 00, free space 00. When I do full reboot, everything works for a few minutes.

I just don't get it. Card isn't too fast, its CLASS4, and Kingston, which is a good thing. Made in Japan. Whats wrong with my hero?

Maybe I should reinstall ROM, but what that will change.. I dunno. Also it sounds extreme to reinstall rom from this uncompactible SD card. If this fail in process of installation, how bad that is? I have Clockwork mod installed, and if I have old backup, or another SD card, I can always reinstall it even if installation failed? What are my risks?

And again, what about ext2 partitioning? Why do I need it? Maybe that my problem now? I never had ext2 partition on my old SD card wich worked, and everything was fine, I think. Never rebooted by itself.

Elelinux rom was only rom I tried with apps2sd. And again as i said, it workd 100% on my old SD with 2GB of space.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
Well, looks like you tried to do everything, but take a backup on your sd-card and install amon'ra recovery latest version if you not have it already.

Make the ext partion with amon'ra, no swap only ext partion 512mb >>>or bigger.

Have no other idea except that it might be something wrong with your SD card
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shadow_fi:
Amon'ra? What's the difference between Clockwork recovery? I did create 2048mb ext2 and rest fat32. Have some force closes. But so far rom stays on and mounting of card looks to be working. Maybe slow, but it does unmounting and mounting.

Maybe I shall do full ROM reinstall to see if that's help. Coz you never know...

As I said, I did full scan of card, and looks good so far. Tested with h2testw which is good program for fake SD card capacity test. If I wont get this working on Hero, I'll test it on ZTE Blade.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
There have been some issues with clockwork just to create ext partions, not rember right now what version have the issue, but as I said try amon'ra instead
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shadow_fi:
Well I made in gpart ext2 of 2048Gb, and clockwork can format it and fat32 also. So in recovery everything rock and roll. Now im testing in recovery mounted sd card with pc. Loaded 5gb of video clips. Almost hour listening to cool music, no error or freezes while mounted. So I think, I can be sure it's not SD card.

I think it can be kernel or the os. Because after full reboot I have working SD for a while. Maybe reinstall will cure. I hope.

Btw, Elelinux, can you please explain me few things.

Why is better to use ext2 not fat32 for apps2sd. And how this was working on 2Gb microsd without ext2?

P.S

And don't take this as critics, I just want to understand few simple things. Anyway your ROMs are great. Best so far.

P.P.S

Btw, when i have force reboot, can i see somewhere log file what crashed and why?

UPD:

Just made full ROM reinstall with wiped sd card from recovery, with ext2. No good. After reinstall, I installed LauncherPro, and apps2sd program. A launced it, and sended few programs to SD. After what I pushed HOME button, and had freeze with statusbar and black screen. Phone was freezed for 2minutes, and went to boot loop. I have elelinux froyo 2.2 logo on screen, trying to boot again and again.

Well, I just don't understand. Also is strange why in apps2sd when i move apps to sd i have free space of 28Gb not 2Gb because my ext2 is 2gigs.. Rom doesn't use it? Im doing something wrong?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] elelinux:
1: Has nothing to do with the kernel or OS, the kernel I have compiled and I know it is support ext 2-3-4.

2: Android OS is linux, ext are linux normal filesystem's that why you should have a ext-partion for the apps, but I prefer ext3 or 4 instead of ext 2 becuase ext3 and 4 is a journaling file system and ext2 is not, is a old ext filesystem, I say it again install amon'ra recovery and make a ext partion there instead.

Hope you anderstand my bad english :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
@shadow_fi, maybe you could try LV kernel and see if it works?

Haven't looked much into ext2/3/4 differences, but it is a higher version of the linux kernel which might have some bugs solved?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shadow_fi:
Maybe. I'm little bit noob with linux, so can you please explain me, with different roms, i can use different kernels right? If so, how i choose kernel? And how i flash it?

Yeah, i understand. Btw, you speak finnish? :D

Well, just intalled amon ra recovery. Formatted SD with 32 swap, 2048 ext3. Restoring files to SD. Anyway, i just tested Salsa rom, and it was much more stable with my buggy SD card than yours. Don't know why, but to first force reboot, i used phone for hours. It happened after I installed rvoix. Try next time not to install it at all for a few days of test.

Anyways this is strange i say. Maybe it's just hardware. Hero is old, and has poor support for fast and big microsd cards...?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] emay:
Just one remark: since this rom supports a2sd you should not manually move your apps to SD. This is done automagically for you (manual move will place your apps in a hidden directory in your fat32 partition) .

Maybe this helps.

Eddy
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
This ROM comes with Erasmux's Flykernel, a 2.6.29 version of the linux kernel.

Las_Venturas is based on linux' 2.6.35. Maybe we will jump to a newer version in the future.

Both LV and Fly are shaped in such a way, that they are flashable on every ROM.

First wipe dalvik_cache before switching though. You can flash it like any normal ROM or update.zip whatso-ever.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shadow_fi:
Im sorry, but what? You mean that i shouldn't push Send to SD, and use apps2sd programs?

I just have to set install location External, and never do anything manually?

Btw. Amonra didn't help. Have now 32swap, 512Mb ext4. And made from amonra recovery full reinstall. Still force restarts. But I indeed moved manually from "Manage Aplications" lots of applications to SD card.

Now really, wtf. I am confused now. Move to SD is forbidden option in this rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
Well there are 2 apps2sd ways. One is via a script included in some ROMs (like this one) and the other one is the official apps2sd of Android since Froyo.

The script one is sometimes referenced as the "old" one, as it was around when Android 1.5 came out.

Script one: copies all applications from /data/app to the ext2/3/4 partition. This is due the original /data/ partition doesn't has much space (only 160mb?).

The new one/froyo way: has the ability to copy apps from /data/app to the fat partition on the sd-card.

It is really not recommended to mix these, no... The script way is preferred as it gives additional benefits. It should be quicker, journalizing is possible if the partition is an ext3/4 one.

Edit: Effectively... this means for you that you don't have to do anything. They all are moved to the ext partition automatically, if you have one.
