Villain_Au

Non si risponde dei danni che può provocare la rom al telefono o ai supporti: ognuno la installa a suo rischio e pericolo.

A lot of you like the clean interface, the stability, the speed, the battery life and the fact that everything just works with Villain_Au, so we are continuing to update it.

Villain_Au 3.3U1 was released December 2011 and Villain_Au 3.2U2 was released 18 January 2012. Both DT and PC versions will work with CM7 rc2 Hboot, but DT version is best with alternate Hboot.

All props go to Richard Tripp and several other people over at XDA for this ROM. Richard has a support site on XDA

Talbess has added better APN’s for Australian Telco’s and made the changes required for the ROM to work with Telstra if you are in Australia (this doesn’t affect the use of VillainROM with other Telco’s). The default Launcher has been changed to LauncherPro. Talbess has a support site on Whirlpool

What’s in Villain_Au

    GingerBread 2.3.5 AOSP, superb battery life
    CM7 Launcher replaced by LauncherPro – we encourage users to purchase LauncherPro Plus unlocker – its well worth the small price asked!
    Multilingual
    Google Apps (including Market)
    Apps2SD (DT-A2SD+ or PC-A2SD+ your choice)
    Titanium Backup
    Superuser
    Telstra (Australia) User Agent strings and correct APN’s for Australian users
    Moved ROMS-Au bootanimation to SD Card
    Fully optimised CM7 Hboot version available (thanks to PClaren)

Installation Instructions (coming from non-Villain ROM)

• Use Titanium backup to backup all your apps in your current ROM
• Boot into recovery and do a nandroid backup of your current ROM
• Do a full wipe then Flash this ROM, then reboot
• Use Titanium (its included in the ROM) to restore your apps. The following apps have been tested to work fine if restored this way:
  
  • Handcent (App + Data)
  • Dialer One (App + Data)
  • Beautiful Widgets and Animation add-on (App only)
  • QuickBoot (App only)
  • Loquendo TTS Susan (App only)
  • MeContacts (App + Data)
  • VoiceCallerId (App only)
  • WirelessScheduler (App + Data)
  • XMNotes (App + Data)
  • Business Calendar Free (App only)

Installation Instructions (Coming from previous Villain_Au)

• Do a nandroid Backup to be safe
• Try Cache Wipe, Dalvik Wipe and flash Villain_Au, this seems to work
• IF you have problems (like apps FC’ing) will most likely have to do a full wipe and re-install as detailed above

Recommended Apps (get them from the Market)

    Handcent SMS (Its just better)
    Dialer One (Dialer with more features that integrates well)
    QuickPic (Fast Gallery that can exclude folders)
    A2SDGUI (for DT version ONLY – lets you alter A2SD settings like moving Dalvik to SD Card)
    Google Maps

Notes

    JuiceDefender and SetCPU are not required – performance and battery life are Fantastic.
    With DT version Dalvik Cache will take up space on “Internal storage” by default. You can change this using A2SDGUI
    With PC version there are no user adjustable A2SD features and A2SDGUI is not required and doesn’t work
    Check if any apps are installed on the SD Card, if so move them back to the phone (this is how A2SD works)
    Anyone with n1 table, please load rom, then move the dalvik to sd card before flashing anything else on top!!
    If you want to play around with themes, use the Ultimate Online Themes kitchen
    If you can’t get root access after first install (Titanium complains for example) just do a reboot.

Hints and Tips

    Scroll lockscreen to left to put phone on silent, again to return to normal
    Disable screen rotation: Home Screen > Menu > Preferences > Behavior Settings > Enable Auto-rotation unticked
    This ROM is soooo good on battery life, its not worth chasing more (IMO), but WiFi Scheduler (from Market) is good for turning Bluetooth off at night
    There are lots of great features under Settings > CyanogenMod settings, for example
        Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Input > Trackball wake to use trackball to wake phone
        Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Lockscreen > Unlock options >Trackball unlock to use trackball to unlock phone (so with both options, two trackball presses wakes phone and unlocks)
        Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Lockscreen > Widget options >Always display battery and Lockscreen music control are worth ticking
        Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Sound > Quiet hours – very useful if you sleep with the phone near you and don’t want to be woken up by an email arriving at 4.00am

Known Issues

    DO NOT flash any other RIL – it will make Villain_Au unstable
    Suggest stick with the supplied kernel – it is fantastic

A2SD Alternatives
Richard Tripp and many other ROM chefs, use Darktremor A2SD (we’ll call it DT-A2SD). DT is stable, reliable and very full featured with a command line interface (and now a GUI interface also) that can be used to change many settings. In early 2011 DT stopped moving the Dalvik cache to the SD Card automatically and it had to be done using the command line interface (a2sd cachesd command). We at MIUI-Au were not happy with this and some other aspects of DT so we built our own A2SD, which we call PC-A2SD. Features of PC-A2SD are: Invisible, automatic, no command line interface and nothing for the user to do. Automatically puts Dalvik cache on SD Card. Automatically handles slow to mount SD Cards and will also allow the ROM to run without an SD card. In real world use we believe it is no slower than DT, and provides 40Mb – 80Mb more internal phone storage by moving the Dalvik cache out of the phone and onto the SD Card.

If you are using a CM7 Hboot, DT-A2SD is the best choice and DO NOT move the Dalvik to the SD Card.

Latest Download v3.3
Lennox has kindly added a few new features to Villain_Au as detailed below. Many users have downloaded it and it performs very well, so can be regarded as a stable release. It is based on Villain_Au.3.2 PC-A2SD Update 1 and should flash straight over that version without wiping. If you are using Villain_Au.3.2 DT-A2SD Update 1, you may have to do a full wipe before flashing this ROM, but many users have been able to flash straight over Villain_Au.3.2 DT-A2SD without any problems, so try that first.

Features

    USB Transfer speed up to 10 MB/sec
    A2SD has 5 options which can be set under Settings > Application Settings > A2SD Settings.
    Will default to PC-A2SD, but after the option is set, users preference is stored on sd card and preserved when doing a full wipe and reinstall, so won’t have to set it every time.
    LED permissions fixed so third party apps should be able to access led notifications.  Handcent still doesn’t work, but now LedMeKnow works.
    GPS set to Australian NTP server for faster fix.
    sys.keep_app_1= to sys.keep_app_10=package.name implemented in services.jar to force apps in to memory if they are getting killed off frequently.
    Installation will automatically adjust to fit an Oxygen hboot layout, should anyone decide to do so.

successivamente tradurrò il thread in italiano,intanto ho postato la rom perchè mi sembrava interessante...

[Zooropa]

Mi è giusto andata a putt@ne la SD quindi ho il telefono incasinato e or mi accingo a flashare qualcosa
Questa rom ha già integrato l'A2SD? Cioè basta fare full wipe, flashare ed è già tutto a posto anche senza aver cambiato tavola?
