Root Which ROM are you all using?

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

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

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

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

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.
 
Hi AGAIN :p

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. :mad:
 
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
 
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???!!!
 
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? )
 
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 :p

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.
 
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

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

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.
 
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
 
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
 
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
