You need to make sure that you've got an ext partition, you'll do this through recovery, then it should automatically move all the apps to this part of your phone, on the next boot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Is a full wipe needed for this ROM? I've not done a full wipe since VR12 and I've got a bootloop after updating to this :(.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
Seeing as it's from a new base, I would definitely do a full wipe

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
That is correct. No action is needed
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
It's working OK. You seem to have a lot of apps, and dalvik cache is quite huge. Replying to your email, but for anyone else trying this, these are the 2 lines that show apps2sd is working.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] krzyk:
You'r a star. I had no idea this pach fixes the ch13 issue. Now everything's tip top.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mirok:
On Elelinux rom I had much more space so on ele dalvik cache is on the sd ext partition?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Not sure, I can't be sure about the ele one.

If you were using all the same apps, something else MUST have been on the SD. Either app data or dalvik, Else there is something seriously weird going on...

Apps2SD is fine now, but it seems that you are needing dalvik on the SD as well...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] walkinhotdog:
Tested rom for about a day so far. Very snappy. I wish the device woke up faster though, seems to take 1 second to wake up compared to rcmix and kimera's 1/2 second. I know its not much of a difference but id like to hit a button and be able to check the time right away. Apps2sd works with a partitioned sd card. Had about 100 mb free on clean install. Kernel is doing fine so far but i may change it to flykernel soon.

3 questions: Is there a flashable zip file of the kernel in case i want to go back? And has anyone ported the battery circle yet? Im rly tempted to flash the VR12 one. And do we need a sleep profile to save battery? Thanks in advance
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] k0zmic:
One thing I've noticed that's missing after a few days of use is the Improved Copy and Paste in the Browser, VR12 had the Copy and Paste the Legend, Desire etc. had. Is there any way to add it to this ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sjaanjean:
This ROM is working very well for me!

Have been using Elelinux 6.2.0 for a while, but the speed and stability of VillainROM outweigh the additional 2.2 features by far imho.

I used UOT Kitchen (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=990829) to add a circle battery indicator according to my own preferences, see screenshot.

I also flashed the extra power option from RCMix 2.2b (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=702398) which added a reboot option in the power menu (also shown in screenshot)

Everything working great! Thanks VillainROM Team!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Hmmm, I tried that.

I've tried full wipes, etc - but I always get stuck in a bootloop. I've tried re-downloading too, but it makes no difference!

Anybody got the MD5 for the file? Thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I fancy this myself. Will look into it if I get a chance
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] itandy:
I experienced the same upgrading from VR12. I found the reason to be Dalvik-cache still in phone instead of SD. So I applied a previous apps2sd script (both app + dc) and everything is fine then.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] k0zmic:
Thanks Pulser.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bassmonkey:
Got app2SD sorted with ext2, no problem, much more space. Still loving this rom n not has the need 2 overclock yet. All that's missing is dalvik2SD... anybody managed this or know how to do it? I have class 6 sdcard

Same here. Looks ok in low res if using WiFi tho

elitist cliques will be the downfall of all communities.. some bad apples spoiling the whole damn bunch
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] walkinhotdog:
The low space even with app2sd enabled is a tradeoff for the speed. Anyway i think this will be the rom ill be using for a while.

I managed to make a battery circle indicator (mini ticks version) and would like to share it with you guys. Its green until 50%, then its yellow until 30%, then orange until 15%, then its red. Works no problem with this rom. Flash in recovery. If for some reason it doesnt work for you its not my fault :p

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LMT9FXVF

Pulser, your prolly the only person who can answer this, but do i need a sleep profile for this default kernel? Also where can i find this kernel so i can test flykernel vs default kernel performance on this rom and be able to get this one back? Thanks in advance

Also, you guys are right, youtube player doesnt work. I can even switch to low res, it jus plain doesnt work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bassmonkey:
It's a strange thing, 1st time I flashed v13 I'm 99% sure YouTube worked for me un both high and low res. Had to reflash cos I screwed something up sorting app2sd out (had 90ish mb left b4 loading apps when I got it working by the way) but now as Matey said, it only works un low res for me.. random

I use this apps2sd script from VillainROM website. But you have to use ADB to remove the original script from /etc/init.d/ folder before first reboot. Forgot the filename but should be easy to find.

Had same problem with second flash. Only way I could fix was to go back to my v12 back up, full wipe then re flashed v13, it worked 4 me but there must b an easier way?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chachi:
going to start all over with a full-wipe, reflash v13 from scratch, put the modded a2sd script into place prior to rebooting at all, and see what happens

edit bootloop ... screw it will get by for now until an 'official' refit is put out, too fast to not want this loaded in the handset

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tombond:
@itandy: Yes, I deleted it using the Root Explorer app and then pushed the new file in place.

@all: So there is no way to get v13 running without formatting the SD card? This sucks, I dont want to install all my apps again and again with every new rom :-(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kams19:
In response to rustynut I tried to go offline and go online again, but that didnt help.

is anyone else facing issue 1 and 2?

i am missing msg and skype chats as the LED is not blinking :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] itandy:
Maybe try flashing the zip file instead of pushing the script to your phone. I wonder if it's a file permission issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tombond:
Just tried it again twice:

1. Try: App2SD Update, then v13 -> Bootloop

2. Try: App2SD Update, full Wipe exept ext partition, v13 and again App2SD Update -> Bootloop

So still no luck here :'(

Is there a way to save the ext partition, wipe the sd card, flash v13 and then put back the apps to the ext partition?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sjaanjean:
My notification LED isn't working.

Awesome ROM! I was using a 2.2.1 rom and get back to 2.1 and i feel that's working very fast and smoth.. I'm really enjoying back to Sense.. have i've my apps2sd working btw.. don't miss nothing at all from the froyo..

Thanks for your great work on here!

Cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] itandy:
It's really strange. Just want to make sure. Your step should be:

Wipe cache and dalvik-cache -> Flash V13 -> Flash apps2sd zip file -> Use ADB to remove original script from /system/etc/init.d/ -> Reboot

If it doesn't help I have no more idea. Maybe your ext2 partition is somehow not compatible? Perhaps pulser can help?

For your last question, I believe you can always run Linux in PC to backup your files in ext2 partition and restore them later in file level.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tombond:
I think I got something wrong here. I always deleted the old file BEFORE I installed the new one. So again, I have to install the Apps2SD zip and then delete the old file? And whats the name of the file that I have to delete? Still 04apps2sd?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Why do you want LWP? They lag like crazy on the hero and your battery is like cut in half. They prob removed it for a reason. And if you did check the villainrom site under the theme section (Ok i said enough)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chachi:
If you enable MS-USB or whatever the option is in recovery mode you will be presented with two separate USB drive volumes, one the 512mb (or whatever sized) ext partition with /apps and /apps-private in it, along with the usual SDcard fat partition contents.

Sick as the proverbial parrot so giving a reflash / update / adb removal of old script / reboot another try ...

Nope ... wipe all six options, reflash VR13 from scratch, then flash the apps2sd update, then adb shell in and rm the old apps2sd script, then reboot, get a bootloop :mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] itandy:
Oh, I just checked the VR13 zip file and found the original apps2sd script is also called 04apps2sd. So the correct steps should be:

Wipe cache and dalvik-cache -> Flash V13 -> Use ADB to remove original script /system/etc/init.d/04apps2sd -> Flash Apps2SD-DC-update.zip -> Reboot

Really sorry for providing incorrect information previously. Good luck with that. :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e2zippo:

I wiped everything multiple times even, but the programs remain installed. And as a consequence I have a few problems running a few of them.

What can I do? I have AmonRA 1.6.2.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
Try to upgrade your AmonRA-recovery to the latest version (1.7.0.1 i think)

Or you could try to start over with a fastboot-wipe instead.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] walkinhotdog:
So after about a week of use, my apps2sd just broke out of nowhere last night and the phone was having random slow downs. Without apps2sd on this rom you will run out of space in no time (only ~100 at first boot). I originally activated apps2sd via creating a partition. Yea i agree that the rom does kill apps too quickly. I would go through settings then do other stuff, then open it again and it has to completely reopen. Nice rom, but going back to RCMix or Kimera

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] catsado:
Can we use JIT with this ROM? And if YES then which one!?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
No. You should not use JIT on 2.1. It is woefully unstable and especially so with Sense. HTC didn't code this version of eclair sense for JIT.

As such, if you managed to get it booting, you likely face regular crashes and reboots

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bellor:
Hi raider and pulser.

I loaded this rom to my Hero and I must say Sense never felt this good.

Still there is one problem in my case and it is Sense related.

I have a Nokia BT Headset and the BT driver used by HTC in Sense is not completely compatible with this headset. As a consequence the headset locks after hanging up.

I have used Froydvillain in the past and the driver used in that particular rom worked beautifully.

Would it be possible to change the current BT driver in V13 to the one used in FV?

If this would be something you aren't inclined to do, could you point me to a site where I might learn how to do this myself?

Thanks.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gugi_sat:
I get the same as well... any cure??

I believe its to do with the internal storage .. i got left with 24MB duw to app installed on my hero.. due to less space available sometime sense restarted after facebook app or market app .. mainly it is happening on my hero after internet based app...

just a guess...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shadowhunter:
I'm also getting this white screen too with the 'HTC' logo then the reloading of my home screen about 15 times a day and it's driving me nuts !

And it may well be enough to make me switch ROMS, which I don't want to do as I love this ROM!

It happens after installing apps, exiting marketplace, browsing webpages.. etc etc

Some have said it is to do with the 'Lookout' anti-virus software which I have but I un-installed that and even after a re-boot the fault continues many times a day.

Also, I still don't believe that Apps2SD is working !

I had about 120MB of internal storage left with VillainROM12 with all apps installed but with the same apps installed on VillainROM 13, I only have 52MB remaining..

Why couldn't it be implemented the same as with VR12?

Which worked??
