Its pretty quiet here recently, which i guess means were all pretty happy with the ROM's were running. Team Villain have done a great job in supplying constant updates if your runing 2.1 or 2.2 who's ROMS are you using?

Me

Froydvillain v1.44

I'm using VillainRom 12 atm, might give Froyd a go later though.

Xyro

Froyd here too.

I think we're mostly villain fans here, aren't we? Modaco was ok but he hasn't done much interesting since 1.5.

I had VR12 untill few days ago untill i installed FV1.4.4 which i find amazing, but still struggeling with the GPS, it takes a long time to catch up a signal.

I just restored back to VR12 and tonight i'll go for a fresh clean installation to see if the GPS will work on FV1.4.4

I DO LOVE VILLAIN WORK, amazing, thats all i can say.

Jaffa

My gpsworks fine on 1. 4. 4, using the PU radio and the 2. 5 19-694 kernel

guss606

I understood from people on the forums that the GPS would work with the JU Radio and i did install it, but with no luck...

Is the PU Radio the same one on VR12?! I can't really remember

Xyro

Radios are separate to ROMs, so it's not necessarily the one you were using whilst you had V12 installed. The radio would only change if you flashed a new one.

guss606

So when i flah the froyd rom tonight, which radio should i use?

marco712

I'm using Elelinux Froyo 1.6. It has no lag whatsoever.

I seem to have bad luck with Villianrom releases, when I was using V14 my phone kept freezing at OC 729, and my linpack scores went from 5.0 (fresh install) down to 2.5 after I installed some new programs and placed widgets on my homescreen.

I decided to try Elelinux and have not ran into any issues of freezing or slowing down despite the # of widgets i place on my homescreen. I'm very happy with Elelinux and would recommend it to anyone as an alternative.

walkinhotdog

Kimera2.1 looks like im the only one still on 2.1 lol. Going to try froyo once villain and elelinux release their somewhat final versions

midge37

+1

Fairly happy with it, though last few days it's been quite laggy and a few FC's here and there.

Slug

Another on Elelinux 1.6 here. Smooth. stable and snappy. Hard to believe it's user-built from the ground up - kudos to all the ROM devs for a true open-source effort.

Of the 2.1 releases my favourite is still MoDoCo, especially when stripped of anything remotely superfluous (to me). Sheer dung off a digging implement!

OK now on 1.5 Froydvillain :P

fangorn

froydvillain here still 1.4.4 but downloading 1.5 right now

Jaffa

Now running 1.5 with a full wipe even though not recommended, its schhhhhhlickkkk

tojjer

I was on V12, tried RcMix which was good but then started getting some FC's and random reboots, flashed froyd 1.4.4 and enjoyed that for a couple of days but started getting FC's here and there. Not many widgets with it either so gone back to V12 now.

So what's new in 1.5 on froyd??

guss606

Installed FroydVillain1.5.0 this morning, EVERYTHING working so far... let's give it few more days and see. Hope it's gonna be good one

Jaffa: Why you don't recommend it?

nedamdam

I think he meant that you dont have to wipe

The devs words were something like this "if you need a wipe: do it , if not: then dont" (and then some joke about pants :P), it can run without a wipe but for some might not .

I wiped too (and no idea if I had too, not a big deal to wipe anyway if you have the proper backup tools and backups)

ah, Stupid me sorry for that...

I also did a full wipe before installing it. and it's looks very nice so far.

Xyro

@ guss606: From the sound of things the GPS bug is fixed in 1.5 so any radio will work.

Unless you have an orange branded handset the most recent radio is, I think, the one in bold here.

guss606

Yes the GPS is fixed, not only fixed, it picks up faster and stronger.

my Hero is unbranded, i have the JU radio, it's working fine.

Thanks,

tojjer

Installed Froyd 1.5 this afternoon.........and uninstalled it this afternoon. Took a couple of photos with it and when I rotated the phone over to look at pic as a landscape, it went all blurry.

Back on good old V12 again now

marco712

Up dated my Elelinux from 1.5 to 1.6 today, love it! No issues at all ! I hope to see more from the developer(s) in the future


Yea I had the same issue with Froyd Villian, fyi Elelinux doesn't have that issue, you have the option to use either the 3D gallery or another one, I use the other one it's faster.

Thanks, might give EleLinux a go, tried most of the others.
Must say I hadn't heard of it before

guss606

WELL: yesterday i went out and I NEEDED the GPS, around 30 minutes and DIDN'T work. :-/
WHY this is happening to me :`(

And now again, I'm trying it, it's been running for about 15 minutes and it's not picking up any signal.

guss606

FINALLY got the GPS fixed...

I remembered someone here said something about Mock Location.
SO: I went to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development -> and CHECKED Allow mock locations.

After i did this, the GPS worked, and it picks up with less than 30 seconds YaY!!!

Excuse me for bothering you about this, Good thing it's working now.

So NOW FroydVillain 1.5.0 ROCKS !!!

tojjer

On Elelinux 1.7 now, so far so good and impressed with it.............but then the others were good till they went wrong somehow :-)

guss606

I've read on other forums that there is some issues with emails and stuff, are you having that?

Slug

The Android email client FCs at startup with 1.7.1, yes. I've simply disabled it as I never use it anyway, preferring Gmail. I haven't found any other problems with 1.7.1 yet.

guss606

Hi AGAIN

The GPS is not working today whatsoever!!! and I've done nothing since it was working yesterday, what could it be?

It is really annoying when you really need it, it just does not work.

tojjer

Back on Villain12 again.....FC's galore, phone calls cutting off and wouldn't accept any ringtones other than the ones preinstalled.

shame, it looked promising at first

guss606

After playing around with the GPS. It works ONLY in one case:
If turn the GPS on and reboot the phone. I have to do this everytime I want to use the GPS...
Is it happening to anyone else or its only me? Any ideas???!!!

nedamdam

Which radio you flashed?

I would kinda suggest to make your own thread so you could address all your trouble there. This is going a little too much OT

(And did you check the villain forums? )

guss606

I am using 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26

I'll create a seperate thread the next post, ssoorryyyyy

jared1234

Well i just loaded froydvillain 1.5 yesterday and so far love it!
what a huge difference!

Slug

FYI, Elelinux posted a simple *.zip update to fix this issue earlier today. Email app now works.

guss606

Hi everyone

I falshed the latest Radio 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.14 and now everything is working very very very super good, even the GPS

Thank you all for your patience and support.

The ROM really Rocks now, to be honest with you guys, i've vener expected my hero to run fast and stable one day, but thanks to the super hero guys who made this possible.

adz63

im testing the 1.5.0 froyd at the moment but with all the problems this has caused since installing , i think i may revert back to VR12

tojjer

I already have. I keep testing these other ROMs, but keep coming back to good old V12

zkirkpatrick

Nobody using CM6?

jared1234

ya.....i went to Villain 12, Froyd too buggy atm.

midge37

1.5 has been giving me all sorts of grief over the weekend, FC's, Reboots, not coming out of sleep etc. Had to pull the battery twice. Only problem is, if I revert back to VR12 I lose the ability to use my Parrot car kit as it didn't like my Hero running VR12

daveybaby

Anyone having problems with Froyd 1.5.0, try changing the minimum CPU speed to 352 and see if that helps. I was getting a LOT of glitches and freezes at 123/176, and still had the occasional weird behaviour at 246.

At 352 (FWIW: interactive when screen on, on demand when screen off) it's rock solid for me.

I'm at a loss to figure out why theyre shipping the ROM with a default minimum cpu speed that doesnt work for some people's heros. Surely its better to ship in a known stable setup, and let people tweak from there?

Slightly off topic, I currently have an un rooted device due to a handset replacement, and my batterylife seems no better on the Orange ROM than it was on VR 12 or Froyd

Xyro

I think 1.5 ships with a safe kernel, something like 350-580. So the lower values are only available to people who flash a new kernel and would be setting it up straight after flashing.

Oh and try conservative when the screen's off. It seems to be a new one that villain have made, like interactive, and they recommend it.

mojo151

i was using froydvillian 1.5 but i started having issues receiving/sending text as i did when i was using villain 12 so i moved back to sensehero 5.1

nedamdam

Today I am trying the Elelinux 1.8

Rom: Elelinux 1.8
Kernel: flykernel10a-bfs (but since its kinda a little laggy in LP I will go with the non BFS later)
CPU (SetCpu): screen on 248-691 minmax
screen off 176-352 minmax
Sence 1.8 theme

marco712

i flashed 1.8 over my 1.7 it ran a little slower and for some reason launcher pro kept fc'ing so i just went back to 1.7, didn't notice anything different in 1.8

Slug

That'll be why Elelinux has just posted v1.9!
