Havent tried it yet myself as i've just put 2.2 back on......

[Guest kag8]

does it really have improved wifi? any one whose tried it please post here, cheers

[Guest ezablade]

presume it's not possible to extract the wi-fi bits out of the French ROM and try it in the R4 ROM?

Probably not. But I know Paul will be making an MCR based on the French ROM soon. I'm running this VillianROM now and it's pretty good. The WiFi issue isn't here :rolleyes:

Installed yesterday..love it, especially after putting up with 2.2 ROM niggles for last week or so. Only issue is SD mount notification that needs tapping on to remove at restart...yeah, really sweet ROM>>

I can honestly say i have never had a problem withmy wifi, with any rom.

Out of curiousity, though, is there anyway to control A2SD via CLI ? I want to force-move all apps to SD rather than let it determine on its own.

Also, on trying the standalone DT A2SD 2.7.2, it only passed the check once, but failed to reinstall apps on SD, and the rest of time it just fails to mount SD-ext. Do I take it as it can't fetch the proper block (looking for sd-ext in wrong place)? Because that's one issue he's currently working on.

I just can't get my head around the point that someone on VillainRom actually managed to install 2.7.1 on r3/4 !!! I don't believe in hit 'n miss!

Hi, I've flashed this rom but when it reaches the "bladevillian" logo it just stays there (apparently looping). Any ideas?

this is not froyo apps2sd, it moves all apps by default. there is no cli option to control it, it is active as long as you have an ext2 partition on your sdcard.

have you done a factory reset via recovery menu?

[Guest EMMJAY]

does this ROM use the stock android dialer?

or is it the same as stock from orange.

Yeah, that was the problem. I eventually figured it out but thanks anyway :rolleyes:

Cheers :rolleyes:

but when I was checking with DiskUsage app, it still showed some apps (not Google) being stored on the internal drive, hence my question!

You can see the A2SD slice/usage using the Quick System Info App

Have it :rolleyes: and it's showing that A2SD storage is being utilised. Disk usage shows that "some" apps are still on the internal drive, so I suspected it's behaving like Froyo's App2sd, allowing apps to install on drive.

Even with r4 (baked with A2SD), internal storage kept shrinking (in paralel with sd-ext)

Internal storage will shrink to an extent anyway, inline with the Dalvik cache, but you don't want to move that on to the SD card, unless it's a fast card, and even then, having the cache on it will shorten its life, as they have a finite read/write cycle life.

When I said "Disk Usage", I meant this : AppBrain-DiskUsage. It simply shows apps and partitions and how much space it uses.

Had same problem..need to wipe/format ext2/3 (whichever you have) then ROM flash works fine>> :rolleyes:

[Guest wl_sf]

+1 for this. Best ROM I've used yet. Needed to unlock with IMEI number using tip on this post: http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...e-unlock-codes/

Can you use the frameworks for other ROMs? Would like to use Espresso.

That's because of Davalk Cache, you can move it to another partition but that's very complicated.

[Guest wl_sf]

Installed Espresso (Desire V2) framework and I'm getting a large green button with a '+' floating at the top of the lock screen. Anyone have any idea what's causing it / a fix?

Also now have no boot logo / animation, just a blank screen. Not so bothered about that, as I was try to dump those anyway, but is an issue.
