You will have to go into:

Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> HTC Sense -> Clear Data

You will get the widgets, but lose your current homescreens...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
wrong!

the radio doesn't get touched.

Flashing radios is actually slightly dangerous since if the phone's battery dies or other issues occur during the flash your phone can end up bricked. I avoid flashing radios unless really necessary and reflashing is entirely pointless.

IF you find reflashing helps then what's really happening is that the extra couple of reboots is helping you with your gps issues.

try gps, reboot phone, try again. probably will work.

or for absolute guaranteed gps fix when flashing any new rom, download the free version of gps status from market. install, run (back out of stupid web page on first launch...). wait for it to get a fix (can be slow first time). you'll probably be just fine now, but if you have issues, reboot and try gps status again.

it's like it gets stuck the first time you use a gps after flashing a new rom, and these methods are the standard known safe working fixes for it.

reflashing radios is somethign I recommend AGAINST doing for your own safety and since it's completely unneeded.

sorry for sounding intense about this - but it's so much simpler my way and so much safer :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chachi:
besides the apps2sd bit killing handset memory, this is the best my Hero has ever run ...

with sense it is fast, amazingly so.

with sense frozen and zeam launcher in its place it is blindingly fast, almost like someone did a CPU upgrade when I wasn't looking :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Who told you that I sneaked into your phone and upgraded the CPU? :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JFenlon:

How Can I have Flip clock on this rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
This ROM has flip clock already.

It is on the default homescreen
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Connected to my hidden SSID WPA2 network here fine
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] iHero96:
Yes but I mean the new flip clock like the DHD or the RcxMix Rom
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
Great work, i'll give it a spin, and see what the fuss is about :-) hope that it is crazy fast, as i just realized that i have grown accustom to my HERO hangs every time i load something. I've been using Elelinux 7.0 for a while and it is great, but think i need to compare it to something else, and if i really need all the 2.3 features :-)

Is there an oc menu included in the rom, or are you just using setCPU?

Thanks for the great ROM :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] se87tet:
Try RCmix flipclock http://www.multiupload.com/VJGP2D16AW it works well for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
ok i've been running froyo and gb roms for aaages now so ive kinda forgotten what features came in which versions. can someone provide the core features that might be missed by downgrading. im very tempted to try this rom since everyone is biggin it up so much! just wanna know i wont miss something i really like
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alvaritolalala:
No, seriously. I want to see the sources.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] k0zmic:
Thanks for making this great ROM, it's nice to see one with Sense being further improved.

Does anyone know how to change the boot animation on this ROM, I changed deleting the current one from /system/media and replacing it with the other? Also putting it in /system/customize/resource doesn't seem to work.

BTW I'd also recommend downloading the Extended power Menu from the RCMix thread, it works perfectly with this ROM and it's very useful.

Install something else from Market it should re-fresh, also try clearing cache of the Market App.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rustynuts34:
Tried that already with no luck
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] walkinhotdog:
Sounds like a troll. Lol JK

Anyways, everyones probably saying its fast because its a fresh rom flash. Dont know why but any rom will start feeling slow after you use it for a while. Ill probably give this one a try soon too. Cant live without sense, so been using some ancient 2.1 sense roms lately lol. Does the battery circle indicator from vr12 work for this? Thanks for rom Raider, hope you can get 2.2 sense working, if you do ill be able to hold off getting a new phone =)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I had my reservations about the speed... But seriously, try it :) I can't actually believe how smooth it feels.

VR12 themes won't work right now, but I am sure people will port them :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] f_padia:
I have the same problem. Most of the apps I installed with tit backup fc. anybody know why this is or if theres a fix? Manually installing them all will be a pain! also Im on like 201 on alchemy and Id hate to lose my progress!!! :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rustynuts34:
One other thing is I can't seem to lose the syncing icon its always there even when sync is turned off
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sizanx:
Super fast and nice :) Didn't know I missed Sense so much.

However I am getting a annoying bug, everytime I reboot, I receive a notification for an really old SMS (I think it's the very first one). Still happens if I delete it... So I think it's stored on the SIM-card, how can I resolve this annoying issue? :)

EDIT:

Btw, where can I get the wallpapers in VillianWallpapers? Wanna use the same one for the lockscreen..

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] television_boy:
Hello,

Thank you for your great job.

I would like to install this rom since a moment but with HTC original rom 2.1 and Villain rom 12 i cannot connect my PDA to my car kit.

Actually i use the Android 2.2.1 Froyo (Fusion!ROM 2.2.1) and with this rom my car kit connection is working.

Could you ask me if this problem was solved with that Villain 13 Release or if someone have another solution .

It will be a pleasure for me to install that rom but i really need the cart kit connection.

Thanks a lot for your answers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fiestito:
Great Rom, but please make a script to move the dalvik cache to the sd, I dont have enough space in the internal memory. Also it would be nice to have the HTC_ime mod that we had in the villainrom 12 in this rom.

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
First time I booted it took ages to load the homescreen, it was stuck on a loading screen and the clock didn't work. After applying this it fixed it. I however swapped to Launcherpro now, which seems even smoother compared to elelinux speedmachine v2 (2.2) but now with the supernice HTC Sense dialer and the better Exchange client. I also have the internal low memory notice already since dalvik2sd is not here, but is that not one of the main reasons why it is so much faster for everybody?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pahildo:
RCmix ROM

I've flashed

- FLIPCLOCK

- EXTRA POWER MENU

- black and white circel mod battery indicator with percentage

from the RCMix Rom

and it works fine on this rom....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chachi:
right ... somehow while playing around in titanium backup I deleted Sense :rolleyes:

what file from the zip needs to be put back where ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Japanska Buba:
Tnx for this rom . Everything works great right from boot (every app, setting...). Superfast for now (although its fresh flash). Will report on battery and speed in few days.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GZFan:
Do you have a screenshot from the battery-mod?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chachi:
replaced the one in /system/media with the stargate pool one, powered off/back on and worked fine for me :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rustynuts34:
Is anyone else haveing the problem that the sync icon will not go away or is it just me going mad lol have turned all the sync options off and its still there :eek: lol

Apart from that it feels nice to be back on sense thanks:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chachi:
Nope ... pops up for me when I connect but then goes away once it completes ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rustynuts34:
:confused: strange it never goes lol

annoying more than anything
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] B1nny:
You can take "villainromwallpapers.apk" from the phone with these commands in ADB:

- adb remount

- adb pull /system/app/VRWallpapers.apk C:\

This will copy the VRWallpapers.apk to your C:\ drive (assuming you are using windows, you can also change "C:\" to another location.)

Now open VRWallpapers.apk with winrar, 7-zip, any program that can open .zip files, because .apk files are infact .zip files.

Now search trough the folders for the wallpapers you want.

You're welcome :)

edit:

Of course then copy the image to your sd-card and you can set it as lockscreen wallpaper, but that is pretty... logical :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chachi:
at least you didn't delete sense from the handset like I did :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pahildo:

I must say the rom is very nice to use. I was quite happy with ele's speedmachine until now but this is even nicer to use... if only some apps didnt manually installing

Are there more users having troubles with the setup of whatsapp? Everthing goes fine untill the program wants to logon to their servers, I never get a connection, it always fails with a message that I have to check my internet access, But I'm having an flatfee connection so there shoud'nt be any problem with that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] o_tiger:
...whatsapp are running fine here! Clear cache? Reinstall?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
Fine here as well. My gtalk died however. I uninstalled it with titanium and pushed the APKs back to /system/app hoping to have it fixed when my reboot is finished. Instant messaging has become crucial nowadays to any smartphone, it's a reason to not run a rom anymore when it doesn't work properly :)

update: it did - works again now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Netblade.nl:
Hmm it still doesn't start up here, it keeps on telling me that I dont have an internet connection. Well back to the stock rom for me while this doesn't work as it should be.

Sense is crashing a lot as well, I dont know what went wrong but this rom is very unstable for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] The0Code:
Sense has been crashing for me a lot too, even on VR12. I switched to LauncherPro quite sometime ago so I don't have that problem anymore lol.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wapz:
Is your Hero unstable at 614mhz? I noticed that's the default max. frequency on VR13 where the default Hero frequency is 520mhz.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chachi:
Anyone? At a loss here, I don't see 'launcher' anywhere amongst the files in the ZIP but it's gotta be in there someplace :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sjknight413:
its called rosie.apk, should be in system/app. but bear in mind if you somehow deleted sense from titanium backup, putting the apk back may not work as the framework files mightve been affected
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] chachi:
I think titanium backup is borked at the moment with v2.1 ...

Im not overly bothered as I dont use Sense, just cant see a way to change lockscreen b/g graphic without it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Awesome rom Raider :) haven't even bothered installing setcpu! BLAZINGLY FAST!

thanks villain team, nice to be back on a fast 2.1!

seem to have a bit of an issue... I have 80meg free mem which is fine, but, when i try to install a 23mb apk, it says not enough memory?

also i get an occasional FC on a process, will try and update with which one is crashing next time it happens

apart from that tho, fastest rom there is! thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
As someone said, rosie.apk

You might be better reflashing without a wipe tbh
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I'm using titanium fine here... Not sure what the issue might be
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
That is likely the HTC update screen. I didn't see any issue with it, but if it won't go away, reboot the phone and it will be gone :)

How to install the friendstream application and widget?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AndrewWalker613:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dac0908:
low on space also, had only 9 MB left when restored, according to SD & phone storage - but there is over 60 MB available according to task manager. never used apps2sd, never been so low on memory. why is that?

it's strange because I just had Cronos 2.1.4.1 ROM which is a bit heavier, and situation was reversed... had only about 30 MB in task manager but no problems with space for installed apps.

hell yeah! :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
I believe cronos 2.1.4.1 is built off the same WWE sense rom as is this rom, so differences between them are worth discussing.

I haven't flashed this yet (I'm sure I will try it at some point though LoL), but it's good to see a current sense rom other than the two others which are regularly updated (cronos and the the slide port).

cheers

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e2zippo:
Euhm, i just noticed that i now have an older version of my recovery image, 1.6.2, as opposed to 1.7.0.1 that was before, would've been nice to know.

And the 17.03 radio is also installed without any notice.

Should be in the release notes. And if you're gonna include a recovery image, please include the latest one.

Cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
There is no radio and recovery included in the ROM-

Look in the update-script :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alvaritolalala:
No, I'm not a Troll. I just wanted to see changes...

I've seen the kernel git so far, and they haven't been touched this year.

I just wanted to know the new memkiller values the changes in "optimized battery usage", etc. I think this is useful not just for me but for any rom developer
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e2zippo:
Weird, have no idea what happened then, my bad :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Sounds strange...

Did you perhaps flash VR12 instead of VR13? I believe it included a recovery (and warning), since it needed it for wiping dalvik given dalvik2cache or something...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Any "ROM developer" can find those inside the rom in about 10 seconds. To be honest, it would take me longer to explain the process of finding them, than it would for you to just go and look at them.

Nothing is hidden. It's all there to see.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e2zippo:
I flashed VR12 about a week ago, and now VR13 on top of that one. I guess that must be it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BuzzFuzz:
Fast and stable rom.. thanks again and again.

Where/how can i get google picasa in sync? I rly miss picasa pictures in my photo album. All my job/private photos are uploded on picasa...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dac0908:
you can still install Gallery3D or try Picasa Tool :)

yes, well that's just for comparison of free space, nothing else. Cronos was last so I know the numbers. before Cronos I had VR12, Elelinux, few Froyds, and don't even remember what else.. older VR's. always made backup and restore of basically same aps and never had "low space" warning untill now.

and no one else gets it... strange. and did few complete wipes and reinstalls without any change.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Do a full wipe, it is said in the first post to do so.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rustynuts34:
This is all I need to make it complete for me have tried a few ways with no such luck but I'm sure some clever stick will pull it out the bag for us.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e2zippo:
I wiped dalvik and it works great, i didn't say i had any issues with the rom itself, it's blazing fast, i was just surprised to have an older recovery image installed, but we figured out why, and i just pushed the latest again so it's all good. ;)

Great works Villiamteam!

I had the same problem to yesterday, but after 10 minutes i had a fix ( in the car ).

It works but it needs realy mutch time.

Flashed later on the day a other rom elelinux, and had a fix in a few seconds and with cronos it works too everytime.

Maybe they use diffrent settings, elelinux and cronos come both from europa.

long gps fix time could be due to the server specifications in gps.conf. At the moment it is set to north-american servers. I seem to remember being advised to change to european servers for faster fix at some point. I think ele and cronos both have european servers set as default. try changing gps.conf and see if its any quicker...

edit: I believe the best configuration for gps.conf (/etc/gps.conf) is :

NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
