There are minimal differences between this and Carz's ROM, since they are both built of CM7. We have slightly different device overlays, and his might be a little better because it has been tested and proven on the 32A.

The main difference is in the kernel: I kept getting device freezeups in airplane mode on his kernel, so I rebased the kernel off the HTC Hero and the official Rogers 32A sources. That means his kernel has issues with deep sleep in general, which is unfortunate. I don't know how to debug those issues, so I just redid the kernel the way I know how. I actually use this phone as a backup in full-time airplane mode, but there is no reason the build wont work for phone use as well. His kernel is based on newer code and is more fast/efficient in some scenarios. There is an alternate HTC Hero GSM kernel based on similar HTC sources as Carz, and someone should try to report the Magic sources over (it's like 5 files) to see if we do any better, but I don't see major advantages of doing that atm.

Steps to replicate:

1) take HTC Hero kernel from https://github.com/erasmux/hero-2.6.29-flykernel

2) add files for HTC Magic 32A from HTC's official 32A Rogers sources (board files, camera drivers, etc)

3) port 10MB RAM hack, device overclock code from updated MSM kernel for 32A

4) copy libcamera code from Hero CM7 device tree, add parameters to device board files to match Hero to get camera and USB working

TLDR; Mine has a kernel which is closer to Rogers 32A Magic stock, his has more tweaks and more people have used it.

* * *

I kept the extra frequencies out, because having too many frequencies causes unnecessary fluctuations in the CPU frequency and subsequently in the PMU. You are better off not screwing around with those unless I understand what the code does.

HTC originally only had 4/5 to choose from in the first place. The lower range frequency is just fine at 245MHz because the phone is supposed to do sleep if it is not active.

I'll resync with CM7 sometime and try a rebuild for 691MHz when I have more free time. 710MHz might be unstable on some devices.

The airplane mode behavior is stock. If it is in deep sleep, it is supposed to take longer to wake up since it has to kick start more hardware. At least it does consistently wake up and not freeze. There is some code in the kernel carz is using that is supposed to make stuff there better I think, but I'm not screwing around with what works.

* * *

Resync'd again and updated for all.

Changes:

* disable serial console

* tweak init.d script to regenerate /cache/download folder on boot if does not exist

* try to set slider styles for incoming call screen and unlock screen default

* remove CMParts link to update notifier, which has been removed and FCs CMParts if preference is clicked

* stuff from last week committed to CM7

Thank you a lot xaueious for the rom of old devices :-D I have tested for a few days and it's very stable. It's pretty fast for my magic. However, I only have 1 issue; the bluetooth can be activated but it cannot receive or send file to other devices (tried with phone and computer). I know you don't support the rom but if anything you could point me to fix by myself it'd be great.... like is it kernel related or some bluetooth library... I come from Yoshi 1.5 new radio and everything work so is there anything I could change to make it work, your rom would be perfect.

Thanks again!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xaueious:
Sorry about that.

1) might be the kernel

Try to re-enable CONFIG_SERIAL_MSM in the kernel. That might fix the issue, because I think bluetooth was activating before I played around this kernel option. The default Flykernel configuration for the Hero has this enabled.

I thought BT wasn't tied to this option, but I didn't check extensively. Disabling this works on newer Qualcomm-HTC kernels, so I was trying it since other kernel developers have had some success with this.

I'll see if I have time to reupload a build over the next bit. I'm pretty sure I did check for bluetooth functionality at one point.

Alternately, you can pull the kernel source from my git and rebuild it with the previous .config to see if this works.

2) init.sapphire.rc

This might be relevant reading:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=527027

Maybe BT never worked, and we need to kang the BT stuff from the Hero.

One of these 2 things are what I'd try.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] raksan:
Wow, that was a quick response. Btw, from your advise I changed the kernel and bluetooth file transfer works. But since I don't know how to build a kernel I have use Carz's kernel oc710-carz-kernel. I still wait to try your kernel once it available :-) Thank you, my magic works flawless now!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xaueious:
Actually, my bluetooth is working on my Magic, but without changes to the kernel config or the init files. So I am not sure what happened anymore :D

Glad you got it working.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] raksan:
I've been using oc710-carz kernel a few days and feel the battery drained very fast, so I would like to ask, if possible, you to compile your kernel with "CONFIG_SERIAL_MSM" re-enable for me. I really have no idea to compile it and make flashable zip. Your kernel is snappier and has good battery life.

P.S. I could enable BT and find devices in your kernel but I cannot receive or send file over BT.

Thank you in advanced :-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xaueious:
I don't know how to fix it :(. I tried a few things and they didn't work. And no it's not just turning that kernel option back on... I haven't identified where the issue, it takes more time to figure out...

It's going to have to stay this way.

Pairing works. The bluetooth chipset is communicating with Android. But the bluetooth OPP is broken for sure...

Someone can look at http://www.kandroid.org/online-pdk/guide/bluetooth.html or other documentation and try to debug it properly...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] raksan:
Since you said it ain't an easy fix, I'm back to oc710carz kernel so that I could have all functionality. Surprisingly, I feel the battery (I complained earlier) usage was fine, I think the problem maybe because my battery is too old :-) Anyway thank you for providing the snapshot for latest available CM, I couldn't be happier!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] chungsw67:
Thanks for your sharing........This is a nice rom. The rom is stable and fast.

Hi, I just ordered my Galaxy note and gave my galaxy s2 t989 away, is there any way I can port some of the apps and features from my galaxy s2, like the wifi calling, NFC, bobsled and the mobile network selection menu for example, just like a stock T-Mobile Galaxy S2 rom. I believe both of the phones have almost the same internals. Just asking; i'm not too familiar with this but at least I have programmer skills. Thanks in Advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] itsjusttim:
Your best bet is master&slave. (a t-mobile s2 developer) ask.him, hopefully he gets his note tomorrow.

Hey guys I posted this in Galaxy Nexus App's subsection but I realize it was in the wrong place, so I re posted it here which I hope is the "proper" section.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unlawful:
Are you rooted? A new update to Google Wallet made rooted devices display some sort of incompatible message (don't ask me though since I haven't tried Google Wallet myself, I've just heard and seen threads about it).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Device incompatibility banner at the top?

You're fine.

This shows up on all rooted phones.

Also, I'd uninstall...and install it by scanning this!

You'll get market updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Search and read before opening ANOTHER thread about this!! There are 4 new threads a week asking the same questions about Google Wallet that have been answered a long time ago! This is getting ridiculous.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thegoodrat:
Damn I was hungry for some ICS! lol

I just download the new CM9 and put it on my internal sd card. Okay, used chris's stock el26 kernel(flashed zip in cwm then rebooted recovery) but when I go to flash the CM9 zip in cwm, I get a bunch of nonsense.

"getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9100T" || this is repeated over and over, then it says error in [folder where i put the ROM zip]

I have flashed ICS before, in fact i have flashed Blend ICS and Calk ICS just to test this issue with no problems right now. I also tried AOKP and it also failed :(

I'm out of ideas here. Please help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] igerald904:
Have you used caulks format all before flashing tocm9
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thegoodrat:
Yes, I have. It has worked before so that's why it seems strange.

If all else fails, I guess I will just have to go with a completely stock wipe(sfhub) then :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] igerald904:
I think that would be the best suggestion actuall, let me know if that works maybe i might try it I'm running fc24 and was thinking about doing cm9 by installing el26 tar then running that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darkfire2024:
It could've been a bad download; use an md5 checker.

What I do is use sfhub's el29 one click package, then use his autoroot package to flash el26 cwm. Set up GPS test and get a lock, then reboot into recovery, follow the directions, and I flash the rom twice.

By using sfhub's solutions, you avoid getting the yellow triangle and adding to the download count.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] igerald904:
Sound like a plan
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] toprock23:
do a double flash. sometimes the first flash doesn't go thru.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thatdudepoops:
Install guide says to wipe data/ cache then flash cm9 from el26. I would redownload and md5 check also. Might try coming from cm7 or miui also as there recovery works for cm9

Sent from my Epic zipper
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
Why does everything say to use the el26 cwm? Is there something wrong with the el29 cwm or am I missing something?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drinxtir:
You must flash from EL26, locate StockCWM-EL26.tar and odin that. Then reboot to recovery. Flash update*.zip and gapps*.zip after wiping cache and data.

---------- Post added at 07:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 AM ----------

I keep a copy of LoSTkernel on my sd for the recovery, it's EL29 and I just tried this with that and got the same results. Came, read, and came to the conclusion EL26 is the most stable for flashing ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thegoodrat:
This is what I ended up doing next right after I posted this thread lol

Flashed MIUI 2.3

Rebooted Recovery

Flashed CM9

Success! :)

I kept flashing cm9 and wiping everything but it never did work, strange.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] az18zz:
Yea you have to be on a gingerbread based ROM like cm7 then install el26 and flash cm9

Epic touch phone of xXHELLBoy91Xx
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Glad you got it working, also after you flash your last step should of been to wipe data/factory reset. This will ensure a clean start and possible removal of all potential bugs...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] racht:
Greetings!

For anyone interested.

I am now using Sandisk 64GB microSD XC card with my Xperia Ray.

Everything is working as it should, no issues at all, like with any other card.

I had 16Gb Transcend class6, and it was great, than I moved on to 32Gb Sandisk class4, and it was causing some slowness like 720p movie lag, slow opening of videos etc.

Now upgraded to 64Gb Sandisk, and its great, speed is very good, copying files into the phone, speed is 8-10mb/s, and from the phone 15-20mb/s.

Card comes formatted to NTFS, had to initialise it from the phone, using MIUI rom 2.3.2 (Android 2.3.7).

I hope the upcoming 128gb card is supported as well ;)

Best luck to all.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jacker60:
Nice to hear that it works fine :), but how do you spen 64 GB on a phone? :p its just a curious question, right now i have 32 GB, have Ndrive, shadowgun, a lot of pics I take, and some videos (not neccesarily 720p, the screen its not as good), ahh and like 2 backups of the system, and still have 21 GB free's :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:

? SDXC Card in Live with walkman ?

I´ve found here Info that SDXC Card with 64GB work in Xperia Ray and Mini Pro. Live with walkman was about same time released in 2011. Anyone tried to use SDXC card in LWW? And does it?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] panamamike:
Has anyone tried with Mini Pro?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] andogeek10:
Man, read the post above.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] panamamike:
That's interesting, I didn't see that post.

O.K. looks like it's supported :)

For those who've tried. Any real world performance gains?

I find 32gb has been sufficient, but would like a performance bump.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] krstep:
I bought a really cheap 64GB sd card (only 18$) and surprisingly it works well - Stock .42 GB with stock kernel. Formated in FAT32.

Although the read/write speeds are not great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] C0BRA01:
Is anyone working on tweaking the AT&T Notes radio? I don't mean for TMobile, I mean so that HSPA+ as well as LTE are faster? The reason I ask, is I had/have an HTC HD2 that gets way better data transfer rates on 3g, than this phone does on HSPA+ in the same area. I have been able to hit 3-4Mbits down on this phone, and was getting 5-to almost 8 MBits on the HD2. (There have been a dozen plus radios on the HD2) The data speed on this Note is disappointing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
I easily get 10MB down on my this phone on HSPA+, which is the same as my last phone. I'd say there is something wrong with your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] C0BRA01:
HSPA+

Are you running a stock rom? Mines rooted, but otherwise stock. Also, are you on AT&T?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
I've tested running completely stock, stock + rooted, and on The Collective Unofficial ROM.

Yes I am on AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tecneek:
I'm running into the same issues. I am thinking that since I am a long time AT&T unlimited user, I only have two options available:

Note: I already unlocked, then rooted the stock with Odin, did a back-up with

Titanium, did a nandroid back from the phone, and loaded the clockwork recovery into my phone so that I can load ROMS easier.

Options:

1. Subscribe to AT&Ts NEW service options and I will be subscribed to their

new HSPA+/LTE club (give up unlimited) without any problems.

OR

2. Don't subscribe to any of their new plans, and stay stuck with the Edge and

3G, and Unlimited data services, all while the phone falsely shows 4G at the top of the screen.

My fastest down speed has been around 6.5 MB - depending on where I am while 4G was being displayed on the phone.

It seems to me that the HSPA+/LTE requires a special subscription.

Network Mode does not appear on my phone, so I can't ensure that it

it has a 4G service selected. I was looking for a fix that would turn my Network Mode back on.

I can see a defaulted APN titled AT&T PTA, but it is locked from edits.

If I set my phone to that defaulted AT&T PTA everything works but data. SpeedTest immediately displays, "Try Again".

In my Elixir application, if I choose "Turn WiMax(4G) ON,

I get the following in Elixir:

=====Data======

State: DcInactiveState

disconnected with last try at 4:38 PM

fail because

SERVICE_OPTION_NOT_SUBSCRIBED

===============

So, I think that either we need to figure out how to turn Network Mode back on,

for the AT&T Notes, or give up unlimited and go with their new plan.

Some kind of way it seems like a subscription may be tied into allowing HSPA/LTE speeds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lactardjosh:
You don't have to give up your grandfathered unlimited plan for HSPA or LTE. They just upgrade you to the 4G version of the unlimited plan.

You may have to do it in an actual AT&T store (not a dealer) or over the phone with customer care.

Also these phones don't have wimax...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tecneek:
I've been on the phone with a couple of reps., been into an AT&T shop a few times, and they all keep telling me that I have to upgrade to their new plan which does not have unlimited. The best they could offer me was a 5 GB plan. Also, they said I have never been on a smartphone plan with them. Although, I was previously using an HTC HD2 (sounds like a smartphone too me), but it was not a smartphone registered in their system. Records show that I'm a razor user.

They have no record of the unlocked phones that have been using like the HTC HD2. So now, when I take that SIM out of the HTC HD2 and slide it into the Note, I'm not getting 4G.

And finally, they said that if I was previously on one of their Smartphone plans I would be able to transfer to the LTE service.

When I zoom out and look at the big picture, I don't think most people have a need for the extra speed anyway.

Any thoughts... I think I am stuck with the Edge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] C0BRA01:
4g vs 3g

Don't bother upgrading. I had unlimited, and am now on their 5gb a month plan with tethering. and I am not getting any faster speeds. I seriously doubt it's the plan, and I am getting billed for 4g.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lactardjosh:
I think maybe I misread your earlier post. Do you mean that you have an AT&T Unlimited plan (calling minutes, etc) or AT&T unlimited data plan?

If you have a grandfathered unlimited data plan, they should upgrade you to the unlimited 4G data plan with the new SIM card.

If you have the Unlimited calling plan, then you might have to suck it up and get one of the capped data plans if you really want LTE.

Either way, to get the faster data speeds you would need a new SIM card. The older SIMs (even from last year in some cases) can't handle the faster LTE speeds and can cripple the data speeds on the phone to the point you are describing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tecneek:
I have the unlimited data and calling plan. Reps. just told me straight out that I will lose the unlimited data. But after reading Cobra's post, I have no clue as to what the real trigger is for making HSPA+/LTE work on my phone.

Well, I'm getting ready to strip everything to see how ICS looks, and then go from there..

I guess Cobra there is still no answer. You switched and it is still slow, I did not switch and it is still slow. Does the LTE service really exist :confused: :)

p.s. I can't wait until I don't have to challenge the image verification. I cannot understand those &^&%^ letters :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RMXO:
The reps are BSing you. I have a grandfathered unlimited plan & switched to a LTE unlimited plan by asking the rep to do it for me when I activated my I717. I came from a N7000 to an I717. Are you in a LTE area? I went from 3-6MB DL to 20-35ish MB DL, depending where I'm at.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tecneek:
Good grief.. I'll try again at a new location. I'll simply tell them that I want to change my current unlimited plan to the LTE unlimited plan. I am in the Wash, D.C. metro area. They act like an LTE unlimited plan doesn't exist.

Cobra are you in an LTE area? I wonder why your speeds aren't up there if you are in fact on the LTE plan.

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 PM ----------

Oh, they looked at the SIM too and said it was a current SIM.

If you can send me the description of the svc as on the invoice I would appreciate..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tecneek:
You guys got me feeling slighted over here :eek: Ok, I'm defintely going to follow-up again. I was wondering if your Nexus smartphone was a recognized AT&T phone. The pivotal point for grandfathering unlimited to LTE may be that they will do it only for THEIR phones that were previously recognized as smartphones. When they look up my records it comes back showing that I'm officially using one of their previous motorola razor phones, which at the time was not on a their smartphone plan, even though I was able to use the SIM in an unlocked non-AT&T HTC-HD2 without any problems.

So, maybe if you come from a recognized AT&T smartphone they will upgrade you, but if your last phone registered with them was not considered a smartphone while on an unlimited data plan, then they will not grandfather you in..

I gues it's worth another try.

p.s. thanks for helping me respond and overcome that *&^ image verification challenge :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shansmi:
No. It has to be an "unlimited smartphone data plan". If you have that no matter what phone you are using, you can keep it. Usually you can tell by how much you are paying for the data plan. There was a "unlimited" plan for other non smartphones for like $20 for phones like the Razor etc but the smartphone plan for what were known previously as PDAs was like $39.

So which one do you have? I am pretty sure if you only have the unlimited non-smartphone plan you cannot convert that to a smartphone unlimited plan...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] C0BRA01:
LTE

Yes, and I think there is a list of cities somewhere. Seattle area, as high tech as it is, does NOT have it yet, while smaller cities, and lower tech areas do? Doesn't make sense to me. So for now I am stuck with HSPA+

On my HD2, I had regular 3g speeds, then I did a radio change, and used the Rafpigna Froyo ROM, and suddenly I started getting speeds like my sig pic shows. My data is slower with this ROM, but from what I have been reading around the net, my speeds are pretty typical for a lot of the Notes on HSPA+

Forgot to mention that I installed the leaked ICS ROM, and it is very much worth doing. Data speed went up a little as well. Still not as much as my HD2 was though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] camaroz28:
The speed of the network will always vary greatly. They are completely based on your proximity to the tower and the current load from other users on the tower. Unless you can find a tower with no other users on it and you can repeat the test from the exact same spot, there is no way to compare speeds between phones, or even the same phone at different locations.

If you find some threads where people are reporting their speeds, you will see that they vary by massive amounts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZPaul2Fresh8:
I can say that I am still onthe unlimited data plan and on stock ROM I was getting 10Mbps. It must be your area because my last phone was hitting max capability on HSPA @ 7.2 Mbps.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note™

Edit, just to clarify I went from a 3G only phone and finally got a 4G phone and I really don't thing they are trying to throttle your speeds just because you are on 4G with an unlimited data plan.
