[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Hi guys, sorry about the lack of updates, I have a current version as of yesterday running great right now, as far as the battery issue goes are you using the stock kernel or flashing another? the stock kernel has some changes to fix an audio issue that pegged the cpu in some cases, it drained my battery over night to completely dead prior to using this new kernel, the version i'm on now has the ramhack and some usb changes and the audio problem fixed.

I want to flash an old version to compare the 2 before i post it though, it should be tonight.

Edit: ok, for the beta tester in you.. the latest build http://www.multiupload.com/L7WRXA4QE2 ff70fb40382ce378fc904b9665d4367f

Now, there is a chance it wont flash without the newest recovery I have here, 3.2.0.0
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Unkjcr:
Hi carz!

I'm using stock kernel. And i had a lot of battery draining. I didn't try any other kernel. And one thing that i noticed today is that sometimes i lost signal with no particular reason. In a place where i always get full signal i got a lot of periods with any signal at all. When i checked battery history in settings, below that graph usually there is a bar with grey and green which means when the phone is accessing to the carrier network and when i got that signal problem there was a 2-3 hours red bar, which i think it means that in that time i had no phone signal. I hope I haven't been confusing.. :P

A new build is welcome! Actually i'm needing one to flash. Otherwise i'm going for your 05/08 build. :)

Cheers
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
check my post above, I added a link to the newest build
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Unkjcr:
I saw it already. :P By the way, it works with your clockworkmod recovery 3.1.0.1. But i have zip verification off. It´s booting right now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MoreYummy:
found a new problem in may release.

i used another input keyboard, every time i rebooted the phone, it goes to the original android keyboard. I have to check the box again to have it available in setting.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
carz... testing the beta... but after some reboots i lost the status bar... always FC

gps makes soft reboot the phone

reverting :)

try to move it to internal storage, don't install keyboards in sdcard
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blaster44:
Can you share kernel whitch you used in rom in separate .zip pack?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
I'm having no problems with any of that, have you done a normal install lately? no mtd. The rom grew a bit, you may need more than 110 system, thats what happened to me when I had the system too small before.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
I can, after my company leaves I'll put one together
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MoreYummy:
can the htc magic run at 710Mhz + without burning it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Unkjcr:
Hi!

You can set your CPU at 710Mhz with no problem, but more than that is dangerous and it can damage your CPU. If you set the CPU at 710Mhz and notice that your phone is overheating try to reduce the speed a little because it could damage our CPU and your battery. :)

Cheers
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
Strange ... but if is just me... it must be something i did when striping your ROM :)

Size is not the problem. 'My version' fits in 106MB :)

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] smartvincent:
first thanks to carz,it is a great ROM. only one problem. when I turn off the screen with airplane mode on for a while,the cell phone can not wake up again. I have to pull out the battery and restart again. i use the 2011/5/23 edition
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Unkjcr:
Hi there! :)

Which settings do you have in CPU min and max? You should have min at least at 245MHz.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
I haven't posted a new rom to the OP yet because I wanted to at least fix some things you guys want, screen on and off animations are working now on the build i'm testing, was just a few lines. I find it kind of slow, I'm looking to speed it up, the on transition is fine just the off.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sleeepy2:
lol, I turn the on one off because it's too slow. I need it on now ;)

I leave the off one on as I am turning it off, I don't care how log it takes ;)

I have been using the beta one you posted a page or two back and my wifi is working with this one :D

Thanks for all your work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sejanus:
If I were to test out the beta ROM, would I have to deal with the customMTD stuff again?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] faridsaab:
hi guys, I just buy a brand new Magic again.

And i want to know wich one is the best for you between: may08, may14, and may23, with my old magic i was having some truble with GPS.

i hear ur advice. thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] faridsaab:
+1

same thing with WAZE, i have to close and open the app a few times and eventually it works but its not normal i guess (it was with may08)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] smartvincent:
i set min/max: 245/528

even when my minimal setting is 352Hz ,the problem is still existing.

thanks :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
With may 23 i have zero problems. Only some battery drain

Sent from my HTC Magic
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] snailmale:
may 08 works perfect for me. only minor issue is that the phone is slow to select my default network when restarting phone, but gets it eventually, or i can manually choose to speed it up. that version is so good that im sticking with it until another bug free rom comes out, perhaps with more features. if not, i might be sticking with this till i can get a new phone in a few months time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] faridsaab:
thanks, im trying with may23 since this morning, im gonna do some test with GPS to tell you guys, by this moment only one thing. when i restore mi setting and desktop in ADW, i just lost everything, it just restore settings, but desktop nothing, its weird becouse it always does it great, and it helps me download the same apps in the same order so it was !@#$%... i dont know if ADW is updated and thats the reason?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] faridsaab:
I confirm the problen with GPS, i have a new magic and the problem is the same it conects but after a lot of trying, and disconects every 10 seconds
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
I have tested four different gingerbread roms for the sapphire, three for new radio and one for the old, and have experienced serious GPS issues just as described above on each one of them. I can't rule out the possibility that my phone's GPS receiver became damaged at some point, still it's a fact that GPS worked much better for me when I was running froyo or eclair sense roms.

I guess one day I must try reverting to CM6.1, or even the most recent official update (cupcake), to see whether my phone's GPS is really broken beyond repair, or it's actually a software issue.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] faridsaab:
i dont think ur GPS is broken, it just not working well in gingerbread AOSP and CM7, im now trying with SebastianFM ROM and finally GPS start working well inside my home so it most be something with the kernell
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Unkjcr:
The kernel in Sebastian's ROM is the same. He uses carz's kernel. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Well I have a major update for you now, I have updated the usb in the kernel to .35 and have fixed tethering and usb debug notifications as well as the usb in general is less buggy.

I also have the screen off and on animations working...sometimes, after reboot it quits sometimes, sometimes doesn't, I need to figure out whats going on .
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
The gps issue guys, have you tried flashing the euro or asia gps files I have in the diet thread?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
In my case this makes no difference whatsoever.

In addition, those fixes concern how assisting data is fetched from the net to speed up the GPS. I would not expect them to affect whether the GPS works altogether, last summer I had pretty good results with the GPS on froyo with all data communications switched off (travelling abroad) and using an offline navigation app. IOW with a little patience the GPS should be able to acquire location without using data, but if it's not successful after 15 or 20 minutes then definitely something is broken.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
Great work!

Sent from my HTC Magic
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
15 or 20 minutes?? you wait that long, I'd have given up, I thought slow was 10-20 seconds, mine usually connects in 5-10 seconds.

Has anyone tried editing the build prop to have the gps settings for europe? I have rogers settings in there now, I don't know if the effects it or not.

ro.ril.hsxpa=2

ro.ril.gprsclass=12 <<--- change that to 10

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=8

ro.ril.enable.dtm=1

ro.ril.hsupa.category=5
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
That's GPRS not GPS. I don't think it's related in any way.

I don't really stand around waiting for a fix, I put my phone in its mount on my bike's handlebars, switch on GPS Test or MyTracks and go riding. 15 minutes later it has been able to tune in to one or two satellites.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
Carz is sugesting a change to the Internet acess. Do houve have internet on when getting GPS signal? Makes it get a fix much faster.

Sent from my HTC Magic
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
I have zero issues with internet access. I use it all the time and it is quite fast (on 3g; not mentioning my home or work wifi). And my issue is not with GPS fix being slow, it's not getting it AT ALL (most of the time), because the receiver is rarely able to tune in to more than two or three satellites at a time - and the theoretical minimum for a position fix is three satellites, though in practice signal from four or five is required afaik.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
Strange. 28may version is fast fix for me with 3g on

Sent from my HTC Magic
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MoreYummy:
i have same GPS issue as drbobb.

i can see it is locking to a couple, or at least trying. and never able to give me the actual position.

And sometimes it works on google maps, but after a while, it becomes gps unable, and suggest me to turn it on. which is already on in first place.

I tried with internet on, off, same problem.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] !_Ale13star_!:
Does this rom work on 32b..??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
Hope it is working ok so we can have it too.

Sent from my HTC Magic
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Ok, here is a the new build, if it works ok I'll post it to the OP, I posted the kernel and modules also.

cm7 06062011

This stand alone kernel and modules only work on this and future roms, the rom is compiled with different options. You don't need to flash the rom and this, this is just for cookers.

kernel 06052011

screen on and off is buggy still, on reboot it usually doesn't work, if someone can figure out a combination of settings to make it work ok let me know.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
Downloading.

Thanks.

They start to work for me if I turn JIT on after they stopped working
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Unkjcr:
Hi Carz!

First of all thanks for this update. :) I dare to say that this is your fastest build so far! I can confirm what Nforce said. They stop working after turning JIT off and rebooting. I will turn it on and see if the animations return.

Cheers

EDIT: There is no way of making them work again. At least i don't know any. I tried many Performance settings and CPU frequencies but none of them restored screen on/off animations.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sleeepy2:
Stupid internet, 12 minutes to download :(

Thanks for all your work :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
does tethering work for you guys? I had a bit of trouble with the compile the first time and recompiled with the proper options, it works for me right now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Unkjcr:
Some people are saying that the zip is corrupted. Something with Androidian.apk file. But the ROM can be flashed with zip verification turned off. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Again the upload is corrupted but the file on my comp is fine ill upload again after work today
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] andrebeat:
Thanks for your continued efforts. I haven't had the chance to test this new release yet. I'm using the May 23 release and to be honest I'm not sure how you could improve it since I have no bugs at all and it's the best/fastest ROM my Magic ever ran.

There is only one thing that bugs me (although it doesn't seem to bug anyone else) and that is the battery icons. They are not as sharp as the rest of the icons, they are probably using a lower resolution version. I'd like to know if you have looked into this.

Thanks :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
This issue happened 2 times more in this morning.

Carz, is there any suggestion for this? Tks so much
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
No idea, I know it happens for people on different roms and some say it's from clocking to high, I run 614 max and I'm ok.

You also had an issue with su and tibackup that I've never seen also though

I sync'd again tonight and I'm compiling now, I might as well try to do nightly builds. Wife is going to hate me lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Unkjcr:
Great news! :)

Well, i won't lie and say that nightlies would be bad! But if you realize that your wife is complaining too much you could port only some of them, as this is a cumulative project. :P

Once again, Great Job! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
I set at 245/652, same with GB, same OC kernel with 10Mb. No problem with GB.

And after reboot, the spu settings back to 245/614. I do not know why

Now I set at 352/614,let see this can fix the issue or not
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vieto2m:
"Set on boot" in CPU settings checked or unchecked? You try change it and reboot again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ziyouwa:
Great job! Thanks carz2.

I can't download apps from market. Maybe I live in China? gapps-gb-20110307 and download from here are the same questions as.

mtdpartmap.txt

What should be the better size setting in /sdcard/mtdpartmap.txt for this ROM.

I was setting a value as Diet (mtd 108 3) but found /system full and look like wired after I restoring some apps from Titanium Backup. How could I change that MTD setup. Do I need to reflash that DGB~~~ again?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] arthurcswang:
Cars,

OMG, you did it in 3 days :) :)

I'll try it tonight .

PS: does anybody share git source? :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
Where are the ADW settings in this ROM?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
Never mind, somehow they showed up only after a second reboot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] arthurcswang:
It just below at Cyanogenmod setting.

:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
Well that's what I expected, but they weren't there at first boot.

For some more bugs, the ADW homescreen config is lost at each reboot, it returns to default.

Superuser.apk does not work, as someone mentioned there is a symlink loop between /system/bin/su and /system/xbin/su. I fixed that on my phone but Titanium still doesn't work, even after updating Superuser.apk from the market.

I kind of expected my market apps to be automatically redownloaded after logging in to google, but it didn't happen.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
I already checked.

To carz: it seems ok when I set the speed at 352/614. Also, i removed task manager app to test this issue. Is this issue related to task manager app?

To all: Ext4 worked right after flashing Rom and gap. with the original Rom.

To who has titanium issue: Update Su to 2.3.1, reinstall titanium, it will work, even do not update super user apk.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fonsigno:
guy s i have update ext 3 to ext4 but app2ext doesn t work . I have to reinstall the rom?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadow_empire1:
nice :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] andrebeat:
I've had two bugs with this release and they both happen when turning the screen on (pressing power/red button). Sometimes the display flickers and does not turn on, I have to press power again, this happens a lot. The display also turns on sometimes, but with weird colors (kind of like 16 colors), this one doesn't happen as much. The other thing that bugs me is that the battery icon isn't as sharp as the other icons, it seems kinda blurry (but I've had this issue on other GB ROMs as well).

Other than that, everything seems to be working fine so far.

Edit: I think you can reproduce the first bug if you repeatedly try to turn the screen on and off.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Straightflush:
Getting a ton of reboots with the may 8th version... set to overclock at 614... Waiting for the new version to come out, hopefully its up soon :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
Like I said elsewhere I observe this issue with all gingerbread ports for the magic I've tried. Both 6.35 and 3.22 radio.

I would say my GPS receiver is broken and give up, except that with an app that reports raw readings from the GPS like GPS Test I can see that signal from two or three satellites is usually found. I am thus pretty certain it's a software issue.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
Hi Carz,

Your latest version works fine here, I haven't seen any problem yet and GPS works better than any previous ROMs.

I have seen the "Something with Androidian.apk file" error but it was because I was still using Seo's recovery as opposed to the one one you posted on the OP...you I think there's nothing wrong with your link/upload ;)

Thanks!

ps: I'll keep you posted if I see any issues
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
the icons are updated in this release :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] andrebeat:
Haha great! Then I don't think it can get any better :D Will flash it as soon as I can.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
If anyone has the incentive to make fancy icons and other theme items feel free, I'll put them in if people like them.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
to be honest I am a bit blurry at anything closer than about 18 inches, so it all looks fuzzy to me lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Unkjcr:
I would like it only if it will be optional. What is fancy and good looking for someone, might not be to others. :D

BTW, the new build is running great, but i found out that if i turn the lockscreen off in CM settings/tablets settings, the screen animations bug appears again and the phone takes a lot o time to wake from sleep. After enabling lockscreen again and rebooting, the bug vanished again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Cliff Edge:
OK, so I have a problem.

I opened market to check updates, some of my apps started updating so I leaved market and opened one app (don't remember.. ) and then there was an avalanche of force closes: launcher, keyboard, gmail, facebook, system, etc etc etc, so I decided to reboot it (long-press red phone key, reboot from menu)...

and now I can't turn it on. It "crashes" on cyanogen animation - it boots up to that animation, animates, then stops and animation restarts - endlessly :P

What to do?

Logcat (boot->animation->freeze->animation->freeze): http://pastebin.com/NVd4Qkzm

Can I just flash the ROM update + gapps and everything will be fine?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sleeepy2:
Yes just reflash it.

I had the same sort of thing, I forget what I was screwing around with...

I just re-flashed and all is good.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Cliff Edge:
It did not help :\ I dont want to wipe, I don't have fresh backups -_-

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Cliff Edge:
Still the same :(

I have similar behavior + missing apps and/or missing data for some apps after I started moving apps to SD using the OS functionality.

Anyone else having this problems? I have installed this after clean wipe.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Try wiping just dalvik cache
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Cliff Edge:
Nothing's better.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Have you tried flashing again yet? even a previous rom that worked
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sirceoj:
So far so GOOD!

Just a quick note that I've been flashing last few updates without wipe. This last one (June 8) works without any big issues. I've seen the slow animation (no big deal) and GPS works (takes about 2-3 min outside). GPS symbol stays on after turning off using notification switch, needs a reboot to turn off. Last minor item is Swype keyboard requires reset (turn off/turn on) after reboot.

Battery seems decent so far.

All in all another great update.

Thank you sir!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Cliff Edge:
Tried previous, tried new. Still nothing. I guess I'll better wipe it...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blaster44:
