Root problem with villain 12.0.0

i installed this rom earlier and started of loving it and then messenger force closed and again and again so i then ended all programs using auto killer and went back in to messanger and it worked for long enough to send a txt and then failed again

the application messages(process com.android.mms) has stoped working unexpectedly.please try again
 
Ok, sounds like something's buggered somewhere.... Can you use your phone by doing a nandroid backup? Or is it completely unusable?

It might be worth starting from scratch; repartitioning the SD card, wiping everything via recovery and flashing a new ROM that isn't villain. Maybe even a new radio.

Don't use any 3rd party apps to download the ROM either. That should lower the risk of a corrupt download.

yup!

thaaaaank you!

lol stupid corrupt file...infact it didnt even have the right file size.

cheers, pretty decent rom.
a little more simple than froyd 1.5

lol, coming from froyd, im a little dissapointed with the lack of some things compared to froyd, but there is no way im going back to froyd until their final FroydVillain 2.0.

This will suit me now.

p.s.
are the live wallpapers not supposed to work on this rom or are they?

I've tried soooooooooo many other roms, but I keep coming back to V12. For ma it's been the most stable of them all. I liked Froyd, but far too hit and miss for my liking with FC's, random reboots and my Hero not liking anything faster than 576mhz on it

sneaky sneaky Slug.
lol

Ya the livewallpaper works for a bit...

I will set it, go to homescreen, put into sleep mode and then a minute or 2 later i will check to see if it still works and blupe, its either all black or only shows the background of that wallpaper.

the 3d livewallpapers dont work at all, lol

as for the vr12 kernel i have been able to set it at 748, is very stable and is running like a dream, i have the same reservations for froyd as tojjer does.

hopefully in the final it will be stable because i really liked it! very cool look to it and fun to play with...just waaaaaayyyy too unstable!

I actually have a problem with VR12 right now too, and I don't get it. I've been running it for months--ever since I rooted the phone back in June. It's been perfectly stable--not a problem. Now, It loses my wireless internet connectivity all the time. I don't get it. Nothing's changed. It's just that now, the internet's gone 75% of the time. More disturbing, the whole mobile network goes down from time to time, and then the phone's totally useless.

I thought I had it licked when I found that somehow the APN for Telus disappeared. I added it in again and all was well for a half a day. Then the mobile net is gone again, although the APN remained.

I was thinking I ought to just flash the ROM again, but I wanted to know if anyone's got an idea before I do that.

Thanks!

Machie,
So it would seem that Telus Hero users seem to have problems when flashing roms as i am finding out.
I had a problem with that too.

Honestly, sometimes
you just have to call into telus (WITHOUT TELLING THEM YOUR ROOTED) and tell them you are having data issues. Tell them your friend used to work for telus or some crap, then ask them to do or preform a "Back End System Refresh" or a "Profile Reset".

Usually (8 time out of 10) that will fix almost any network related issue with Telus.

I know this becuase i used to work for them and most of my clients were into smartphones.

Anyways once that is done and you actually have the APN settings in there before you call, it usually take a minute or 2 for everything to be up and running normal again.

Short of that your phone either might not like that rom, you havent done a full system wipe when you were about to flash the rom or i don't know...

I hope that helps because i have my Telus Hero on VR 12 and i really like it!!!! most stable rom i have played wit so far!
