if apps2sd is working, when I use advanced task killer, how much ram/memory should it say is free? roughly?

Apps2sd doesn't affect your RAM, it's all to do with where apps are installed. So if you go to the settings and pick SD & phone storage, the available space is the ammount of internal memory left. It usually starts at around 150/140mb on a fresh install.
 
I seem to be getting an error when trying to flash from teh zip.
It says error: line 391 or something. I can flash sensehero 2.1 fine, but 2.2 has errored 3 times now...any suggestions?

A corrupt download maybe?

Just downloaded again and got the same problem. I have tried going from MoDaCo to 2.2 and from 2.1 V2 to 2.2, Both have failed. I really wanna try this rom, it sounds like everyone is really pleased with it.
 
Did you wipe the ext, dalvek and do a factory restore?

not sure if you HAVE to, but may NEED to ????????
 
I was under the impression i need to do this AFTER i flash the rom?
Will try before flashing and see how i go
 
Great rom so far. GPS seems stable for me so far, a little bit of time to get hooked onto a signal but stayed on it when I used my Orangemaps. Seems quick and responsive with eveything I've tried so far, only one FC so far ( with a text message but it still sent it )
Got apps2sd working ok, MMS on Orange working fine but had to follow Jaffa's instructions again using MMSzap.
I like the theme it first opened with, so i've kept it.
A very nice ROM, so big thanks to the dev.
Give it a try, it's worth it, and so far I prefer it to 5.3

So then, if I wanna try this sense2.2, what do I have to wipe ( or not ) to be able to flash that rom ?
I wanna do a nandroid backup of where I am now with 5.3 in case I wanna come back to it.

Thanks

Do a nandroid backup, or nandroid + ext backup if you use apps2sd

Lol, the quote in quotes makes it a bit confusing :P

Yeah, a wipe is necessary since you're switching to an entirely different ROM. Sometimes you can get away with it for updates to the same ROM, but it varies.

I always wipe before I flash. It makes more sense to me to get everything out of the way before putting in the new firmware.
 
Now This is working nice but still quite slow when typing here, can't get friend stream working though I tried clearing the htc sense data as remembered this worked before but now I have lost my clock lol and can't now find it

Darn !!!
Poxy gps aint worked at all today with 3 different apps

Mines worked fine,

Check you have the latest Radio Baseband version with JU in it

Turn GPS on

Reboot phone

Open GPS app wait for location

If this does not work re flash your ROM because its broken.. 5.5 is more stable than the rest BTW
 
Thanks jaff.
Radio is the latest that came with SenseHero2.2, GPS switched on, rebooted and froze on Hero screen for ages, had to take the battery out to reboot again.
All fired up again but still no GPS.

5.5 here we come I suppose.
I have a nandroid of 5.3. Is it best to flash that then go up to 5.5, or just go straight to 5.5?

EDIT: GPS did work but after ages. Held the signal all the way on a 3.5 mile journey
 
I flashed it on top of 5.3 without wiping and it works fine :) Saves you reinstalling everything.

One big difference is Villain 5.5 uses stock Rosie otherwise not so much (that I've seen so far).
 
well it sure is swap and change once you get the hang of rooting , tried 5.4 liked but didnt like no voice mail notice etc , tried 3.2 but nothing jumps out for me , tried 2.2 agian ok but nothing blows me away , oh the choices lol , whats 5.5 like regards voice mail as at the moment am apllying for jobs and cant afford to be with voicemail working 100%
 
Does anyone got issue with volume button when the phone on standby mode? I can't seems to change the volumes, if I turn on the phone onto lock screen it worked though
