Hannott · November 24th, 2010, 05:42 AM

Installed it yesterday. Incredibly fast and stable! Have not yet found anything that doesn't work. Comes standard with max 576MHz with options to set a maximum values up to 749 MHz

Xyro · November 24th, 2010, 01:15 PM

I'll install it when someone releases a decent theme for it

nea · November 25th, 2010, 10:39 AM

I stuck it on last night, had started to get bored of 1.5 and was toying with the idea of going to another ROM. Was glad to see 1.6 and it's made my phone feel like a newer, more powerful phone. If only it could get shot of the scruffy outward appearance my phone has developed courtesy of not using a case...

daveybaby · November 26th, 2010, 04:13 AM

You can get new cases pretty cheap on t'internet. Although taking the hero apart to fit the new case looks like it will turn your hair grey: 'Put the bezel into an oven for 25 minutes at 60 degree Celsius'.

Must get around to installing FV1.6 this evening.

tazzbaby · November 28th, 2010, 02:40 PM

What's 60 degrees celcius in gas marks? I have an antiquated oven.

02keilj · November 29th, 2010, 02:29 AM

Ive been having the phone reset during calls a few times today. Seems to happen after a few minutes. Anyone else having problems?

Gas mark 0.0435

@tazzbaby: i can barely understand what youre asking, are you saying that youre installing apps but theyre not appearing in the app drawer?

daveybaby · November 30th, 2010, 10:42 AM

Finally got around to installing 1.6 last night and wow - it absolutely flies! Even with no overclocking. Rock solid as well.

A few people seem to be experiencing battery drain issues with it. Fortunately i havent noticed anything too bad so far, but i'm keeping an eye on it...

omidb1 · November 30th, 2010, 05:58 PM

Are there any step by step guides online teaching you how to install it? I don't know where to begin but I want to use it.

daveybaby · December 1st, 2010, 03:25 AM

The sticky at the top of this forum has links to threads with pretty much everything you need to know, but its particularly worth having a read of this thread.

tazzbaby · December 1st, 2010, 05:37 AM

hi guys i just had to wipe and reflash it and it works great

EnragedYogi · December 1st, 2010, 07:46 AM

I installed this about a week ago, my first time rooting and installing a custom ROM. Much easier than I thought and this ROM is amazing, it's like a "grown up" version for people who really want to customise the phone fully! So many options for everything, I can almost do with one homescreen now!

omidb1 · December 1st, 2010, 02:26 PM

I've just installed it after using my phone with HTC sense for a long time before rooting it yesterday. It's definitely faster but I'm getting used to the less attractive user interface. Is there a way to make the keyboard vibrate when typing texts? I can't find the option.

1ceb0x · December 3rd, 2010, 12:56 PM

Yeah it is. You have to go to Settings - Language and keyboard settings - Here click on your used keyboard (HTC iME or ANDROID keyboard).

At android keyboard you have the first option (Vibrate on keypress)
On HTC Ime you have at Sound & vibration "Custom vibration lenght"

Have fun

Take your old theme and insert the 1.6 framework-res into it.

Going to try this one for the missus.

dino · December 4th, 2010, 02:07 PM

seems to have this weird thing where launcher pro frequently needs to redraw the homescreen widgets which is annoying. am now also experiencing major problems with it grinding to a halt when playing music in the background and becoming non-responsive for about 10mins then resetting itself.

Back to elelinux tonight....

Mohsin · December 4th, 2010, 02:15 PM

I flashed the base CyanogenMod 6.1 with custom kernel and love it. Didn't really take to Froyd or Elelinux for some reason.

Will do, but gonna wait until it settles down a bit, it's already on 1.7.2

Havent noticed any.

mitzumr · December 9th, 2010, 09:32 AM

just installed it, very fast indeed...gallery 3d works very well...al seem to be in order.....i just wish for a default installer on custom roms....

just tried to download 2 things from the market and none of them worked...tried several times and all of them were unsuccesfull...

Xyro · December 9th, 2010, 09:47 AM

How does it compare to the latest elelinux?

mitzumr · December 9th, 2010, 10:00 AM

havent tried elelinux...i've always been a villain guy....anyone else that tried it yet?

SUroot · December 9th, 2010, 12:45 PM

Slightly OT but...

Is FroydVillain the best option for the Hero Generally?

I got it on my fiance's hero and the battery is great (compared to the old modaco rom she had on it). Thing is she is still experiencing lag, even whilst overclocked. I think her SMS has something to do with it...

Would anyone recommend anything else to maintain the battery life, but perhaps offer her a more stable experience?

Would cyanogen itself be a better option?

Xyro · December 9th, 2010, 02:00 PM

I've usually found elelinux to be better.

It changes with every version though really.

Try the most recent FlyKernel in conjunction with the "smartass" cpu_governor. I found it very responsive, and the auto downclocking when screen-off ekes even more life out of the battery.

SUroot · December 9th, 2010, 04:20 PM

Thanks Both. Will try the kernel first, then perhaps the other rom.

mitzumr · December 12th, 2010, 05:19 AM

Now that 2.2 got on the Legend...do we have any chances of getting a Villain or Elelinux port for the Hero?

Maybe, Villain did 2.1 Legend Port.

There are other ports though...

[ROM][Sense 2.2][Dec 06] Sengle 0.7.2 - xda-developers

mitzumr · December 12th, 2010, 10:02 AM

yes it's nice...but i was reffering to a ROM that works 100%...

SUroot · December 12th, 2010, 11:22 AM

Hopefully its just a waiting game.

Lizardman · December 22nd, 2010, 04:58 PM

Hy all!

I'm just starting to use the new Froidvillain 1.7, I very like it, but there is one thing, that didn't found.

How can I do when I get a message, the screen light turns on? That would be very important to me, mostly cause of silent mode (i turn off vibrate).

I hope, that someone could help me

Xyro · December 22nd, 2010, 08:18 PM

I use handcent as my SMS app and I seem to remember there's an option as to whether messages turn the screen on.

Lizardman · December 23rd, 2010, 06:56 AM

Thank you the answer, I tried it, but I prefered chompSMS, and fortunately it has a lot of settings, so I'm happy now

40nintendo · December 23rd, 2010, 07:43 AM

i flashed it 1.7.2 two days ago it was kind of weird because it does not give you the set up screen have to do it my self. But it works great
