    Running villainrom but can't get mms working for love or money. I've installed mmszap and it just doesn't want to work. Anyone else get around this issue?

    Anyone else on Villain 5.3 having problems with vibrate notifications? Doesn't work for me at all, even though it is set. It does briefly vibrate as normal when I run out of feeds in NewsRob, and when I switch vibrate only mode on.

    This resolved itself - very odd.

    On 5.4 now, very impressed with the OTA updating.
    Don't mind the new theme, so haven't bothered changing.

    Just Installed SenseHero 2.2. Definitely the best looking and fastest 2.1 rom I have tried. I think its a lot better than VillainRom and Legendary anyway!

    Give it a whirl

    Just flashing SenseHERO 2.2 at the moment and I see that VillainROM 5.5 is out, I was just wondering if you can update to 5.5 OTA from 5.4 or do you have to flash it from SD card? The OTA updates had been working pretty well for hotfixes!

    No, I flashed it from the sd card; am not sold yet, it seems a bit slower than 5.4 and I preferred the 5.4 theme


    Update: I'm probably being a bit harsh, there, hadn't rebooted again. It is pretty quick.

    Has anyone managed to update themes via the VillainROM OTA Updater?

    Ive given up on the 2.1 roms there all over the place.
    If you want something stable that includes all the things u need *MMS proper camara and so on* and that does not look sub standard check this rom out

    http://www.htcdevscene.info/showthread.php?1-[ROM]-[10-03-10]-SenseHERO-1-6-Beauty-Speed-Stable-[*UPDATE*]

    Thats what im using now and i will not go back to anything 2.1 until theres a fully working version out.
    I mean i dont see point owning a phone with a fancy rom installed that has special wallpapers and other gimmick crap if it cant even send something simple like picture messages.

    you do have to be careful, i found that market enabler breaks MMS's when its pretending to be another market type

    Ive still no offer of OTA for 5.5, does such thing exist or do i have to do a update at a pc

    Where did you hear this rumour? HTC have said there won't be an offical release of 2.1 for the Hero til at least June.

    Have been having problem all day that phone only rings once before going to voicemail, callers tell me that it rang out as normal. I know other people have had this problem, but it's only been an issue for me with villainROM 5.5, anyone else with this problem? unless there is a fix I think this may be a dealbreaker for me, it is a phone after all :cool:

    That looks like it's for the US Hero, which is slightly different to the one available in Europe.

    Although it does mean that once the developers out there get there hands on it, there may be some better Custom ROMs available, which is good.

    I am using Villainrom. Can confirm that v5.4 and 5.5 work fine with a Bluetooth car radio. I assume there is no difference in that and a headset. It actually works much better than before I installed the ROM. When I turn off the car the music stops. It used to continue playing on the phone.
    Also when I switched the radio off, the phone used to automatically remove the option for "use for phone audio" for the paired device. This doesn't happen any more and when I turn on the ignition the phone automatically connects the audio.

    I've not rooted my phone or done anything esle to it, but I'm sure someone here will have experience of using a non-Meteor sim in a Meteor Hero while abroad?
    I'm going to the US for a few weeks and can't afford to pay €1.69/minute roaming rates for all that time (never mind the cost of Data..). It sounds from threads on the Meteor forum that because the Hero comes unlocked, I should be able to just buy an AT&T or T-Mobile sim over there and work away with no consequence.. can it really be that simple? What about the fact their networks use CDMA (is that right?) rather than GSM/GPRS/3G? Or is that taken care of my the sim given that the Hero supports all these technologies..?
    Any experience folks..?

    Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,775 ✭✭✭Zagato


    No experience, but I can't see why it wouldn't work as long as you get a card for a GSM network, not CDMA (Verizon, Sprint). So make sure you get an AT&T one.

    On a separate note, I don't think my Apps2sd is working, I partitioned my sd card, and it should be supported on Villain 5.5, but I'm still able to open apps when I have my sd card mounted on my PC -I am guessing this means they're not on the sd card?

    How do I increase the number of rings on the phone before it goes to voicemail?
    Key in **61*xxxxxxxxxxx*11*nn# followed by the call/send button and it should update the delay. xxxxxxxxxxx is voice mail number (e.g. 08*5*******). nn is time and can be up to 30. So if your phone number is 087 3333333 and you want a 30 second delay, then the code you enter is **61*08753333333*11*30#. When you enter this code, you'll get a message on screen saying "MMI Code Started", followed by a message that says "Call forwarding - Registration was successful".


    Is there a differant way of doing this on the desire, I get the MMI code started, but then it comes with an error.

    Any ideas?

    Yep, I'm working on an update to the FAQ. Here is the updated entry for that question:

    How do I increase the number of rings on the phone before it goes to voicemail?
    First, find out what your voicemail number is. Dial *#61# and touch Call. Jot down the phone number displayed on the screen. This is where your voicemail calls are directed to. Dial **61*(THE NUMBER YOU WROTE DOWN)**30# and press Call. Your Phone should now ring longer — that is, for the full 30-second duration of your ringtone. To verify that your voicemails are still being sent to the correct place, repeat step 1 and check that the phone number matches. If your phone number is 087 3333333 and you want a 30 second delay, then the code you enter is **61*08753333333**30#. When you enter this code, you'll get a message on screen saying 'MMI Code Started', followed by a message that says 'Call forwarding - Registration was successful'.

    Still getting use to the phone, my god there is alot too it! :D

    Just got 2 questions:

    I have the widgit for turning wifi on/off and silent on/off, is there a widgit that i can toggle mobile internet on/off?

    Also, whenever i recive a text, I get 2 alerts. one from messages, and another from handcent, which is the messaging program i primarly use on the phone. So, I just want 1 text alert for messaging, insted of my ringtone going twice for the one text.

    Thanks guys, sorry for all the question's.

    1. If its a HTC phone, you should have a widget called "Mobile Network" (Add a Widget, go into HTC Widgets, Settings, and "Mobile Network" should be there)

    2. Turn off message notifications for SMS messages. Go into your message list, press menu, settings, and untick Notifications. Now you'll only get the handcent notification.

    Anyone tried out SuperHero 1.0 rom yet? Its made by the Villain dev and available to any villain donators. I'm going to give it a go tonight. Here's the info on it below.



    SuperHero 1.0.0 BETA is the name we went for (originally referred to as VillainLITE).

    Essentially, it's a HIGHLY stripped down VillainROM, which is made up of an amalgamation of Villain and Vanilla builds. It is geared solely for absolute, 100% performance. It's **** off a shovel quick, folks.
    It's about 80% Vanilla, but I have included SOME Sense apps in the build for now. This may change at a later date.

    SO, HERE'S SOME INFO:

    - JIT Enabled by default, and very stable
    - The excellent ADW Launcher (Recommended settings are: [drawersettings] New Drawer - NO, Animated Drawer - NO, Fast Drawer - YES)
    (Use SpareParts to further improve the visuals)
    - Press Home on Home Screen for Sense style quick select view
    - Completely customisable home screen
    - Incredible Live Wallpaper performance
    - BootCONTROL Widget from CyanogenMod 5 (nice)
    - Vanilla Camera @ 5mp
    - Vanilla Keyboard
    - Vanilla eMail (Multiple Exchange accounts)
    - Vanilla Music
    - Vanilla & Sense Diallers (option)
    - Vanilla Sounds
    - Apps2SD
    - Friendstream App working - Widget obviously not as it's SENSE.
    - Significantly improved performance over Villain (due to JIT + Removed SENSE limitations)
    - Working Vanilla Alarm & Lockscreen
    - Gallery 3D MULTITOUCH with rotate fix
    - VERY Stable
    - All Hardware working
    - Perfect OpenGL performance for the build


    It's currently in testing with donators. There will be a public release, but i can't say when as of yet. Please be patient!

    I'm a donator, so I'm interested.
    From the published screenshots, its as ugly as sin though.

    I might wait to see what screenshots people post before trying it.
    I like the sound of a really stripped back ROM with the bare minimum.

    I'm using it at the moment. It's still a Beta rom, so it's far from bug free, but it is really fast. The bootscreen is very different and very very pretty too.
    I think that Nathan is going to be dedicating his development efforts on SuperHero at the minute, because he's so happy with it and the sheer speed of it.

    Bugs aside, it's the best rom I've tried yet.

    Do it slowly (especially when doing the * characters). If I press ** quickly, I get a 'p'. Make sure you are getting a *

    And yes, there should be an extra character (on vodafone, its a '5' after 087)

    Make sure facebook is turned on, and syncing is enabled.

    I don't use FB, so I'm winging it here.

    In Settings, go to Social Networks, and make sure you are logged into facebook.
    In Settings, Data Synchronisation, do you get a setting for facebook here?

    If logged in and set to sync, go back and check the calendar screen from my last post.
