Great release, congratulations! :)

(Davor from the IRC channel :D )
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sjknight413:
No way! downloading + flashing now!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Xnergy:
The download isn't working, page not found i get.. :( Really like to try this rom on my Hero :D

Edit: It's working now :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] swatsbiz:
WOW! Now it's raining ROMs!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] anaschillin:
Wow, i am definitely gonna downgrade back to 2.1, these new ones are very sloww
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] charrancas:
very happy
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sjknight413:
Woah, it's fast but the thing that's keeping me from sticking with it is that there are loads of HTC widgets missing, bit of a dealbreaker :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -Maverick-:
I was waiting for a reason to go back to 2.1. Thanks! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rustynuts34:
Thought I would give it a bash tide not too its super quick is all I know so far
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaiderX303:
if you have widgets missing, reboot and they should show, what widgets do you have missing?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sjknight413:
Also flash (lite) doesn't work. Starting to think the flash 10.1 some people potted across wasn't fake/not working at all...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaiderX303:
flash lite should work fine, the 10.1 that people say they "ported" was not real 10.1 as the 10.1 libraries are only available for ARMv7 and tegra, the hero is ARM6
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -Maverick-:
Is there anyway to add en_US United States locale? It's not available when setting up the phone, so I ended up downloading a locale changer from the market and changing it that way. The only problem is, it doesn't stick, when the phone is rebooted it just defaults back to en_GB United Kingdom.

It not a big deal for me, but I figured I'd ask.

The ROM is fast btw! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gli8600:
also looked for an opportunity to downgrade, this is the perfect excuse!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alvaritolalala:
Sorry, could you be more specific about the changes?

I'm really sick of buzzwords like "tweaked" "optimized" "major"...

I think it's good for us, the users, to know the exact changes made on roms.

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sergio PC:
Yaa and they are working for you since when....?

If any be very grateful for this amazing ROM. This is what the Hero is made for.

Thank you very much Dear Chefs.

Vintage Hero never looked this cool in a long time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nexus74:
has this rom htc sense?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alvaritolalala:
Since they're modifying the work done by others.

And it is not called "working for me", it's called working for us

Si no sabes, no hables.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] digetx:
Hi! Have problem with opera mobile - pinch-to-zoom not working. All works ok with other roms. Does anyone have this problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bassmonkey:
No pinch/zoom for opera, opera doesn't support it, only let down on a great browser
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] digetx:
You are wrong. Pinch zoom works perfect in opera. Restored nandroid backup with RCmix rom, zoom works.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
No idea about opera, but dolphin mini has working two finger zoom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bassmonkey:
For those that are interested;

I updated from villain 12 with full wipe.

All widgets were there.

YouTube works on data and WiFi connection.

Is much faster than v12 (it just feels it but if you want figures; v12 (no o/c) linpack = 1.9, v13 (no o/c) linpack = 2.6 :-)

The reboot menu (somewhere on here) works fine.

Battery life already seems better but can't give figures as I've been on it constantly since flashing :-)

Memory space is low if you don't have ext partition.

To change bootanimation you need to overwrite the one in system/media, not the one in system/customize/resource (like you did on v12, not sure why there is two on here tho?) And you need to power off after not reboot (if you've flashed the reboot thing, at least I did anyway).

No friendsteam (miss this a lot n don't think you can just add it, think its a framework thingy).

Got gps lock with phone on window cil after 5min, was quicker subsequent tries.

To the villain team;

fecking awesome! Thanks! I always kept coming back to v12 because imo it was the the most stable and best sense Rom n I always miss sense on other roms, recently tho v12 has felt slow and the battery life was pretty bad. V13 is the perfect successor, super smooth, fast without setcpu overheating the processor :-) now if I can just remember how I done the old ext partition thing :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bassmonkey:
Random. Never worked on mine n read somewhere it wasn't supported, that's why you have the tap to zoom... may have to re install it :-)

Edit:

Un-Installed and downloaded from market, apologies, you are right, had that back up for 4+ months n it never worked, very odd
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] digetx:
Did a fresh install of the rom and zoom doesn't work. Seems problem in VillainROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bassmonkey:
Ironically it works for me now, thanks for pointing it out :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mizrahav:
The best ROM for Hero Ever

I'm missing few things:

voice dial,

friendstream,

livewallpapers,

but I really appreciate the work,

Thank you Guys,
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jwwd:
Hi

Thank you very much for the ROM - its working almost perfect. Only one thing:

When I get an incomming call the ringtone only plays in about 5 seconds then it hangs up - is it possible to make the "ringer-time" longer?

Best regards,

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
I have noticed that the phone continues to vibrate about 2 times even after I answer it. Does this happen to anyone else? Is there anyway to fix it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Might be your CPU settings? Just a long-shot, not seen this, and I had a few incoming calls today
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maly2xlc:
Mobile maps navigator 10 not working any idea what navi is working on this rom?:)

Also thanks for this rom very stable and fast :)))
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raz-or:
Q's

Great rom - really quick with zeam...worth the downgrade to get everything working, especially battery life!

a few questions.

1. Is this rom jit enabled? or is this not required

2. Is it possible to install cmparts on 2.1 roms?

3. what the phone dialer with tabs called and can this be installed on a sense rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] android167:
wow! I can confirm that this is really fast... I think that is the fastest sense rom...

ive clocked it to 691mhz and its even faster now...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
1. I'm pretty sure that JIT is disabled, as it makes Sense very unstable.

2. I't a CM-feature, not sure if it has to be compiled into the ROM (which would be rather difficult as we do not have the source-code for Sense)

3. Why would you get a Sense-ROM to replace the best part of it? :S edit: It's the CM-dialer (which I think is the same as Vanilla Android Dialer)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] DonNaWaF:
Hi .. I have problem I cant install apps it says there is no enough storage .. and i have ext4 in my sd card .. can any one tell me why ?

BTW this is very fast rom .. thank you for that ..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] :
Glad to see the Hero is still kicking! Sold my Hero to my dad, but I'm gonna flash this update for him :)!

Is the battery life on this better than VR12?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KBEscalona:
Fast but battery life not much good. But waiting to drain my hero and see after full re-charge.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] k0zmic:
For me the battery life is slightly better than VR12, overall compared to other ROM's I've tried it's very good and only beaten by a few 2.3 ROM's.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Try reformatting ext to ext3 i think it is only certain kernels support it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kimyen.ng88:
You're just too awesome!!

Thanks a lot for this ROM, I have hacked my Hero several times, and finally I missed Sense so much... and there we are!!!

Awesome job!

:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
Pulser, is TeamVillain working on a 2.3 ROM for Hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
I asked a couple of pages back, but didnt get an answer. Is it correct that i only see two govenors: performance and ondemand? Is this the default htc kernel?

Should i just choose on-demand if i wishes to OC?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] veef13:
quick update to my prev post, i am randomly getting htc.bgp.com force closes, no real pattern to it, nor does it seem to actually affect anything...

still cant install certain apps, will maybe try the ext4 to ext 3 change as mentioned above

v
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
That's what I use and it seems ok. Both don't seem very battery-friendly because VR13 is an absolute killer of my battery worse than any other rom. And yes, I wiped battery stats. And yes, I flashed with a full battery (after 8 hours of charge).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gensplejs:
Any chance of an update with friendstream?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
Nevermind, found the solution.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nicolasfoto:
I think I know I'm being stupid, but where do I find the processor settings?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
Install SetCPU, get it here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
Get newer HTC for that or install Launcherpro and buy it, it also has a Friendstream equivalent (Friends Widget) merging Facebook and Twitter posts in a single widget. See here for a picture and the update when they added it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Nicolasfoto:
hahaha yip that was a bit stupid.. Thanx!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bluepinkpanther:
On other 2.1 roms we have FriendStream... (RCMix 2.2b)

Here could be too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I believe Ninpo is wrestling with Dalvik on 2.3 these days :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah, Homer did the original port for VR12.

It is on the list
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
You could try flykernel 11c, but my battery life is currently better than ever using ondemand
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GZFan:
On the moment, I've 60% left.

Battery-use: 1d 4h 16m 57s since unplugged.

Mail, calendar and Twitter full-time-synced; Mobile Network and Wi-Fi allways on.

I use 652 max 176 min; ondemand.

I've never had a battery-live like this, before on my Hero... :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] szrobi66:
app2sd problem: partition sd SWAP=0, EXT3 work!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Japanska Buba:
Were you removing somethg from the rom? I was allways getting htc.bgp.com FC after removing some things like htc.weather.wallpaper with titanium backup.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KBEscalona:
I think i know now my battery problem. i installed CPU tuner it reads min is 518mhz and 617 max. problem is i can't lower the min mhz. I'll try set cpu.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] callummr:
Please, please make it optional. I have no use for FriendStream so the icon's just a waste of space in the app list, and deleting it always caused permanent sync if I wanted Facebook contact (not live stream) sync on. Sounds minor but really gets quite annoying, so yeah, adding it as optional when it's done would be awesome :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Marsag:
Hey, thanks for a really fast rom :)

I'm just having some problems with the a2sd. I've partitioned my sd-card with ROM manager. I chose ext size 256MB and swap size 32MB. When the phone rebooted it seemed like some apps where moved to the sd-card, because I had more free internal memory. But when I download new apps they're installed on the internal memory.

Anyone know what I have to do? Do I have to download something for the a2sd?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KBEscalona:
I think try swap 0 then ext 256mb. mine is working with this setup
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jankhner:
VERY fast rom but too much FS's and too poor battery life. Back to ele's ginger.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
is there a way to change my ext4 to ext3 without formatting all sdcard?

using am_recovery.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I'm not aware of a reliable way to do that via phone.

A linux PC might be able to buy unsure if it would work. Backup all data before you try anything
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Strange...

I presume FS = FC?

Battery here has been very impressive, to the point I no longer need to carry a USB cable with me :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
This rom is the best for my hero, not the battery life of Ginger, but the speed and stability tops that hands on.

Did you do a FULL wipe, maybe using the adb command in Ele's ginger topic. that show I did it and it works great.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dark Emotion:
We can not compare battery life with ginger but it is much better than every other 2.1 and 2.2 rom. Not even one FC , GREAT JOB VILLAIN TEAM !
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
Excellent, thanks. May he put the hurting on Dalvik as he so admirably has done before.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] loupio:
Great rom

Very good rom, in use for 3 days now and this is my conclusion:

:)

-Sense

-Stability

-Smooth

-Very Fast

-No FC

-App2SD

:(

-Battery life (1 day, it's good but not as a ginger rom (2days))

Bravo Team Villain keep up the good work

P.S: Is there any support for arabic language?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shadowhunter:
Hi I am a complete novice at this so please be gentle..

I loved VillainROM 12 and this one does seem very fast too !

I have to agree with some other posters though that with VillainROM 12 my phone reported over 150 MB free on the internal memory as the apps went to the external partition on my class 6 SD card but with VillainROM 13 I now 'only' have 70MB free so I'm not convinced that the apps2SD is working as it should and moving all the apps to my SD card..

I have the exact same apps installed as I did before and wiped everything, including the ext partition before I installed this new rom.

Having said that it is very very fast but I'm wondering if it would be even faster with more internal memory freed!!?

:D

Many thanks for another great rom but is there any script to force the apps over to the SD card?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] timbohobbs:
Apps2SD works find on this Rom. The difference people are noticing with less memory free is probably due to dalvik cache not going to SD, most A2SD scripts do use dalvik to SD but this Rom does not. This may influence the speed but the pay off is less space
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arty:
no friendstream? hmmmm guess i pass...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Marsag:
Okay, I'll try that then. But if I format my sd card: Will it remove the partition I already have made on my sd card?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] riemervdzee:
When formatting, you will lose all your original data on the sd. So make a back-up before. And copy back to it after finished
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] android167:
I have 2-3 batery life... with mid usage...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GZFan:
What!?! 2-3 seconds?!? I've seen better ROM's over here :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Xnergy:
This is really a great rom, fast & stable. Thanks a lot! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cyberghoser1:
Always using VillainROM and v13.0 is blazing fast, a2sd is working great.

Thanks again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Marsag:
Yes, I know that. But will it delete the sd partition you've created or only the other data?

EDIT: I've figured out that you can't get rid of the partition this way. I've now downloaded and booted gParted through the live CD. The problem is that gParted can't find my SD card. When I'm in recovery mode (clockwork 2.5.0.7) and try to mount USB storage I only have the option to unmount(don't know if it's supposed to be like that or not). I've tried choosing unmount from recovery mode, and I have also tried to turn on the phone and change the USB connection from "Charge only" to "USB storage" as well. Still no luck. Any ideas?

EDIT2: I just found out that now I can't install any apps either. Even though I have 80MB free internal memory. Guess there's something really wrong with the partition.

I appreciate all help I may get!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] catsado:
Just a question. In your first post you say "(do not use any task killer apps)", so what will happen if we use one?

Edit:

Till now i was with the original Hero ROM. Now I'm using this one. Though because of the higher clock angry birds won't lag but its still does. So i guess the hero phone isn't good enough to handle it or?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaiderX303:
The angry birds performance is not because the hero is underpowered, its a bug with angrybirds and the GPU in the hero
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] veef13:
thought id give a go at reformatting sdcard to ext3 to see if it fixes a few app install issues.

although i now seem to have more space internally which is great, I cant install the likes of need for speed shift apk for example.

i have the paid version, but it doesn't show in market, so have a downloaded apk, on all froyo and ginger roms can install fine.. on this just get out of memory error... bit odd and annoying as sure it would fly on this rom...

still, this really is a craking rom speed wise :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] arty:
guys, whats your internal memory after a fresh install and with a app2d partition?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cyberghoser1:
mine is 99,31mb without anything touched after fresh install and full wipe.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] thetrompf:
Youtube Remote FTW

I don't bother screwing around with the old YouTube application anymore, I think it is ugly and slow.

On the other hand, I very much enjoy the YouTube Remote app. You can get for free on Market. YouTube Remote is faster, it supports Queue, and searching while you're watching a video. And every search is saved as a channel in the app, so you can mix and match your search result in a nice Queue.

Plus with YouTube Remote, you can remote control the YouTube website that is running on your computer.

To sum up, YouTube Remote is faster, more flexible and supports queue made from search results, and supports remote control of youtube running on your computer.

Win win win :D

Is it normal that the resolution seems rather small compared to non-sense roms?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] veef13:
101mb free fresh, and 93mb after some apps install, but as mentioned above cannot install a 23mb apk for some reason :(

swap 0, ext 1024mb
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
are you sure the app is supporting 2.1?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] catsado:
What about iGo navigation? I got lag on this app too? Is it because of the weak GPU or? Btw because I'm new in this ROM flashing thing, when does the CPU go up to 700Mhz? When high performance is needed for a program or?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
No, it uses different mount point.

Do

ls -l /data

See if it is mapped correctly
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
That sounds a huge apk

I've seen a number of times in android system info that there are 2 processes with that name rinsing 100%cpu. im convinced that my battery drains faster when these are running.

From time to time can't turn on WiFi, need to reboot so i can turn it on. Btw i have reformated my class 6 sdcard with 2GB ext2 file system and the rest to fat32. So how is the transfer of the apps done? Is it automatic after the phone memory is full?

P.S. Got problem with Market too. Very often i get this error - "A network error has occurred. Retry or cancel and return to the previous screen." Never got that error with the original HTC ROM before.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Unsure. We don't test compatibility with kitchens. Unsupported, but it should be fine
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
/data/app > /data/sd/app

Should appear
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Not had issues with wifi here tbh.

Apps are automatically put into sd first time you boot with an sd and ext, and are put straight on thereafter
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I think it is the feature letting you hit search button and type in a name or word, while on homescreen, and get results from all your contacts and messages etc.

A loose analogy might be like windows search indexer, indexing your files, but I can't be totally sure without removing the apk..

I think it is search.apk, or something fair obvious
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
hmmm i see. thanks. maybe ill try freezing it and see if theres any change in performance/ battery life.

WiFi on channel 13

Hi Pulser!

Congratulations - great ROM, as far the fastest one :)

BUT I have a problem - my WiFi is on channel 13 thus is completely invisible to my Hero in this ROM (no problems in others). Is there anything in the system I can edit to enable ch13 which is allowed to be legally used by private users in my country? Or is it something you need to enable during compilation?

Kind regards,
