Second reboot and it's a charm.  FroydVillain now running and gapps synching in the background.  Now to reinstall my garbage.

Battle.net authenticator does not seem to work properly.  Anyone else running this version of FV *and* the authenticator?

1.4.2 now out to fix a shopper problem.  Updated via the VillainROM Updater package on the phone.

It works fine for me.

How did you restore it after flashing FroydVillain? I use Titanium Backup. If you instead only re-installed it, I'm not sure if that works. You'll either have to take a backup of the authenticator from your old rom - or disable it before you wipe your old rom, then re-install from market on the new rom, and finally activating again (me thinks...).

The restore from Titanium was the bit I forgot!  Sorted now, thanks Bob :thumbsup:

Quote from: TeaLeaf;315315Did not go as smoothly as my first upgrade to the Be_Hero, but that's mainly due to me not doing it right.  

My first mistake was to unzip the contents and put the unzipped content onto the SSD.  The boot loader looks for a zip package which I found out when I tried to flash.  By then of course I had wiped the phone, so could mount the SSD via the phone to transfer the zip files, so a trip to PC World to get a flash card reader that would handle MicroSD (I have an adapter but I'm buggered if I know where it is!).  So, zip files properly transfer, into the boot menu, flashed the ROM, then the kernel linked above, then the hotfix, then rebooted.  That was 30 minutes ago and the nice white VillainROM screen is still there, but the previously 'spinning' loading icon is now static, so I am left wondering if it is still doing something or waiting for me to reboot.  I'm going to leave it another 30 minutes, then reboot.  Wish me luck!

If I a get what you did right... Whenever I am short a file on a reset phone, I go to Amon RA, enable USB-stick functionality and transfer the file. Perhaps that could save you the trip next time? :)

Never bothered updating Amon_RA, I have the image, no idea what to do with it so did not bother.  It updated using 1.5.2?

ah okay. 1.6.2 and later have USB-stick functionality built into recovery, handy for stuff like that.

TeaLeaf

SO asking the obvious, how would you use the image to update it?

I'm still on 1.5.2, the option is there on mine, it's called 'USB-MS toggle'. Handy for when you forget to copy stuff. :)

Also I highly recommend installing the Galaxy theme and font as mentioned in the release thread, it looks very nice. :)

Amon RA 1.7 has just recently been released. You'll find the download (both the latest, and older versions if you'd like) together with necessary info to install on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124 :)

Also new kernels out, Nindroid 2.5s.

I prefer BlackMod, it has been revised to work with 1.4.x :)
