Hi! My HTC Desire is broke so I had to use my Hero again. I decided to root it, and installed VillainROM 13. It works great, and is much faster than stock.
I only have one small problem with Facebook for HTC Sense. It works as expected when it comes to pulling information like birthdays and status updates from Facebook to the contacts I have linked with Facebook, but I can't get it to show the profile pictures. For example, if I add a new contact (test), and press up in the right corner to link it and then choose Facebook, my list of Facebook friends appears, but not their pictures! My GF used my Hero before, and it worked fine with stock ROM. It also worked fine with my Desire.
Is this a known bug, or something that is just affecting me? If it's only me, should I try to flash the ROM again?
Facebook-htc integration likely to blame - their integration is pretty poor to be honest

Seems unlikely. It worked well on stock ROM.
I had this issue when I was on stock 2.1, if u check the HTC sense Facebook page its a very common problem. It started working again of its own accord after a few weeks, during which time I contacted HTC who blamed Facebook, I contacted Facebook who blamed HTC
Also, whenever it has worked status and event updates are fine buy contact pics have never updated themselves for me rregardless of what Rom I've been on, they do on my gf's wildfire tho :/
Also if you changed you Facebook settings to use only secure login your phone will have none of it.
I'm on v13 n bar the pics its working for me (@the mo )

Hello to all,
I installed Android on my phone yesterday and am amazed how easy it was, and how everything works perfectly! Thanks to all the teams/devs for the great work!
The only issue I have is with the camera (the one at the back, I'm not using the front one). Previews are displayed with a right-to-left flip (e.g. showing text written backwards). When the picture is taken it is saved right, so it's just a configuration issue I guess.
Also the video function is non working. I always get a "The application Camera(process com.android.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again".
Camera360 and Camera Zoom FX do not have the left-right problem, but they do have the video problem. I did not keep them as they do not work in full screen.
My config : HTC HD2, Android 2.3.4, mod HyperDriod-CM7-v2.1.0, build GRJ22
Thanks in advance for the time spent reading me.

You can try Phonebook 2.0. Almost the same.
Hi Guys,
Just made the switch from my old Xperia x1 to an unlocked G2 that I found on ebay. Rooted it within a minute of it arriving and now wondering what rom to load. I really want the OTA 2.3.4 update but also want it rooted so think i'll wait on that. I also read that some ROMs have buggy landscape modes. Can anyone recommend one that fully works in landscape mode. I got the phone becuase I like the keyboard so would be annoying if the rom didnt support landscape very well.
Thanks
Darren
Just as an FYI there's a pre-rooted version of the OTA that just came out yesterday. There aren't a ton of testers but it seems to be working.
I haven't had a ton of chances to play with all the Sense offerings (don't really care for Sense) but the versions of Virtuous Unity have had working landscape. Many times just using a non-stock launcher can fix landscape issues. Launcher Pro and ADW have always rotated properly for me.

I've been using it the past day and it works great in landscape. Also any stock roms/cm7 work well with landscape, miui roms don't and i find sense roms too slow switching to landscape.
Hi sorry coming back on this again.
If I flash a rom, say the Vision sense 3.0 that doesnt support landscape yet. Does it just mean that only the sense UI wont rotate on keyboard pullout and that apps like messaging, email, browser etc will 'still' rotate and keyboard function fine. Or does all that stuff stop rotating as well?
Thanks
Ok, so I got my 4.3 and Sense 5.5 update and, altough there a re a lot of improvements, I'm more pissed off because of some stuff they removed or... ahem... added...
- Why did they remove the lock screens? I know the lock screen widgets are accessible through a right to left swipe in the lock screen, but why remove them altogether? For example, I just want to be able to have a different wallpaper for my lock screen than my home screen...
- Why did they remove the old video highlights themes?I very much welcome the added new settings and permissions for the highlights... Honestly, they're a very big deal. But, for the love of God, why remove the old themes? My favorite (and judging from what I've seen on the internet - youtube, Facebook or HTC Share - "Islandia" is gone... Why?
- Why is the NFC logo pinned in the status bar? Why do I have to see that? I have NFC turned on all the time... :
These are the few things that got me upset about the new Sense 5.5 update. I know that the update has a lot of good new features (and I welcome them all)... But why remove other good features that have been on Sense since I can remember?
Are there other features that have been removed/altered in a bad way?
Please share...
And an UPDATE: I know that they've added a s*it load of new emoticons in the stock SMS app, BUT they made it so that the we cannot see the old ones.
For example, when someone sends me an SMS with an emoticon from HTC One X with Sense 5.0, I just see it as text and they cannot see the new emoticons that I send them... Great thinking HTC (_|_)
Yes. Why the he'll did they removed the medialink hd api?
No more movies on the tv and browsing on the phone at the same time. Really makes the hd medialink useless.
I wonder how long HTC will take to actually understand how things work.
They removed all weather animations in sense 5. And what they provided in that version is now removed in the latest version.
Are they confused?

You got that working before? For me when I pressed home the clip stopped too. Even on Sense 5. I have not tested on sense 5.5 yet.

Can't get my head around removing the old themes. I suppose now that there's custom music available you can use the old music easily enough I would imagine but you can't get the old visual effects back. I love Islandia.
Ridiculous decision, I only went to 4.2.2 and got the six new themes in July, three months and they've removed them?!

It's indeed annoying. I "fixed" this issues with changing NFC on and off via notification toggles or EQS. Thats not a perfect solution but it just takes 2 sec to de-/activate...

Custom music is cool but try to upload your video and have all these warning about copyrighted music etc.
The new themes aren't good or aren't there any themes anymore?
Also, did I read that now the duration of the clip is changeable or am I wrong?
The duration of the clip is variabile, but cannot exceed 30 seconds. Maybe on HTC One Max you can make videos longer than 30 seconds.

That's because the old emoticons were just three-character strings that the messaging app interpreted as a smiley. For example (-: turned into . This caused tons of problems if you were trying to send a more technical text message with tons of parentheses and colons. Now, in Sense 5.5, the emoticons are standard Unicode emoji glyphs that are supposed to be universally compatible with every phone supporting the updated unicode standard. For example, in Android 4.3 (and probably 4.2.2) emojis are partially-implemented. The latest iPhones have a full implementation, as does Google Hangouts (one of the reasons to be excited about Hangouts SMS integration IMO), and now Sense 5.5 has a full implementation of emojis.
The reason your old phone cannot see your new emoticons is because it's either not running a recent enough version of Android or HTC's software on the One X simply does not render the emojis right. Some messaging apps also can strip excess unicode information -- older phones are notorious for this. A simple fix would be to use an alternative SMS/MMS app on the One X, one that fully supports emoji input such as Sliding Messaging Pro, or Textra (don't know if Textra supports ALL of the emoji glyphs, but it has some functionality).
One more note, CM10.x's MMS app also has support for this built-in, so it isn't just some fad that little girls and iPhone users are aware of, it is legitimately an evolving communication standard.

Oh yes, I want to disable the lock screen appearing everytime I turn off the screen, so annoying
The removal of old video themes may be a deal breaker for me. I love some of them absolutely.

Islandia was one of the only reasons i bought this phone... **** !
please tell me if you find a way to either downgrade or restore the themes
Also really miss the the ability to disable lockscreens natively. This https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock&hl=en is somewhat of a workaround for those of you in the same boat, doesn't always work perfectly but I haven't found a better solution yet.

Yep, will have to wait for ViperOne team to do their magic. I'm sure they'll have an option to disable the lockscreen whilst retaining pin lock

You are right, I was choosing a song that had 26 seconds in my tests and I wasn't paying attention that I cut that song a few months ago to use it as a ringtone. Now I have chosen a song that was 4 minutes and didn't encounter any restrictions.

I don't like new Gallery and Music apps. Before update i can change track with swiping albumcover left or right. With this update i can not.
Did you notice that the zoom bar disappeared from the camera interface?
