This is great news!

No need for an extra Spotify laptop anymore :-)

But where is the squeezebox classic? Is it out of production? Replaced by Squeezebox Touch?

Anyways, I got to try this the coming week.

THANKS Martin for posting this comment and link!

Been running VillainROM 10.3.0 for a few weeks. It’s rock solid. No need for testing matrix, all features are stable and fast.

Now onto testing VillainROM 12.0.0.

A real good ROM. A few glitches below -but no show stoppers.

I Flashed:
- 1.0.1 ROM
- Hotfix #1, Hotfix #2, Hotfix #3, Hotfix #4, Hotfix #5

  • The APN file has one problem for my carrier (Telia, Sweden), the MMS setting has port 9201 and it should be 8080 (even though official info is port 9201).
  • When selecting locale Swedish there seems to be some problems, one is that searching for ’sushi’ in dial-up dialogue does not work (works fine with English locale set).
  • The camera fails to start (resolved by re-start) has occurred once i 2 days.

Read about and download SlideVillain 1.0.1 Beta

I recommend the ROM :-)

A great update to HTC Hero Villain ROM!

First version of the Villain 5.4 ROM was a bit shaky to initial-boot, but worked after a 2nd try. The ROM is real solid. A few glitches, like Friend Stream, didn’t work at first -BUT were corrected through the new OTA update channel. The OTA updates, by the way, works real well!

OTA update = Over The Air update.. Meaning you get ROM updates and patches over your wireless connection. No PC required :-)

Google Maps Navigation, which was a problem in 5.3 is fixed and is working. Apart from that feature-wise the ROM is equal to 5.3 in my test in previous post.

The only problem now is that popularity seems to hit the Villain site hard and it’s not coping with the traffic it seems. Bad uptime. However there are alternative sites like the XDA developers forum.

Once again, fantastic work by the community.
