Re: Replacing the keyboard with the Google one, I have read the posts but am not sure on which commands to type in to "PUSH" the files and how to do that in the phones ROM.

I think I can extract the files needed but what do I have to type into the Terminal?

Thank you in advance.

GREAT ROM as well, no bugs so far on my UK VOdafone Magic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Lumsdoni:
Another question - sorry. Steep learning curve. Where do I extract the old files from?

i have a Nandroid backup of my VOdafone ROM. It consists of 6 .img files, however I cannot open them on my Mac as they ar NDIF images.

EDIT:

I have got the files from another ROM and executed

adb push LatinIME.apk system/app

but got the following message.....

failed to copy 'LatinIME.apk' to '/system/app/LatinIME.apk': Read-only file system

I think I have root access as when I typw adb shell I get the # sign.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] krixl:
adb remount
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Lumsdoni:
OK, after googling the forum and elsewhere I did

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

pushed all 4 files

then

adb shell

cd system/app

rm -r both HTC files.

turned off and on again.

and lo and behold I hve the keyboard back.

Thanks for the help and a great forum.

Please add russian locale it your rom.Would be glad to test v4 but need it strongly with russian locale.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] diggyz:
hmm is it necessary to include overclocking as default?

i have no problem atm with 384mhz clockspeed or what the default is.

Guess battery will drain even faster with higher clock speeds.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blunden:
I agree. I clean Google ION rom with tethering, normal clockspeed and the tweaks you've made would be fantastic. No apps2sd or other extra bloat. Also, ditch that HTC keyboard. Would you consider making one like that? :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] janjan:
Any news about v4. thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] yukkio:
¡¡ +1 !! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nk02:

To install do we need to follow the original Haykuro rooting and flashing procedure or can we flash this with a unmodified ION with no issues?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
The boot images need to be packed with the HTC offset and not the Google one. Also the kernel needs to be compiant with the HTC Magic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] phoboulinos@gmail.com:
Is there something we can do to make it work with the nordic magic ? Perhaps use another boot img from somewhere else to make this rom work ?

I have a :

- HBOOT-1.3300.0009 (SAPP10000) : Sapphire PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H : CPLD-12 (Nordic Magic A6161)

I updated the SPL with the hacked 1.33.2005

Love v4 but cant get apns for Tmobile UK

Love v4 but as Im on Tmobile can't get apns to work have tried restoring backup from last rom (v2) but not working. is their a way to sort this out?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ChrisB:
I have tryed 8 times now..

I have flashed my original boot.img and then it start booting, but hangs again..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
See my post above :) In order to get this working you'll need to :

- repack the bootimages with the HTC offset

- replace (or recompile) the kernel
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nicola_it:
v4 -> error in pdf viewer (Spiacenti - Interruzione imprevista dell'applicazione ...)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ChrisB:
Errr...

Its the HTC version I got...

And the 2 things there.. hmm Im still to n00b for that..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Got it working for the HTC branded Magics

I quickly repacked "R4 full" with the HTC offsets and replaced the kernel just to prove that it CAN work on HTC branded Magic's like the Nordic Magic and even the ROGERS one!

This is just to show that it works on HTC branded Magic's, some kernel added features might not work, up to Nk02 to fix his ROM and make it available for ALL HTC Magic devices ;)

How to proceed :

1. Download this repacked version of the R4 full, rename it to update.zip, and copy it to your SD-card.

2. Download RAv1.0H rooted recovery here.

3. Boot the device in fastboot mode.

4. Connect the device to your machine over USB.

5. $fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.0H.img

wait a few minutes and unplug your device from USB

6. Choose option "Wipe data/factory reset" from the menu

wait for the datawipe to complete

7. Choose option "Apply sdcard:update.zip" from the menu

8. Choose option "Reboot system" from the menu

Enjoy.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] avimak:
thanks nk02! your'e the man!

Q: Is this V4 is the original and full "rosie" UI, or it's just a skin of it?

Because I want to try the full UI functions of the new Hero, and not just the skin ;)

thanks :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] theGchild:
nk02's ROMs seem to be the only ones outside of superherov2 that work with wifi at all on my google ion. and the superherov2 is really slow and eats battery like no other. hoping this one with the hero theme will be better on the battery. will update as soon as my phone finishes charging.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
It's a skin..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nk02:
i'm stupid!

i miss a lib in /system/lib !

download this: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JFUEAVSQ

adb remount
adb push libpdfreader.so /system/lib

sorry!!!

ps: Amon_RA, your repack is for magic branded htc (with spl htc???)? can you add "libpdfviewer.so" and reupload it? so i link it on first post!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] firecrac:
weather widget seems failed to execute the whole process??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ChrisB:
Thanks alot, well it works, and thats nice to see that you are right..

adb push libpdfreader.so /system/lib works fine :P

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
Is it a lot of work to repack roms? I would like the lite version instead but I haven't learned how to unpack and pack the boot images yet... I guess I may be able to figure out the offset numbers, but I have no idea about finding a working kernel.....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ranxoren:
Yeah if its not too much work could you also please repack the Superhero rom ? Thanks so much ! :) You guys are the best
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Killadude:
TNAK YOU Amon_RA.... the repack installed just fine.... the only problem i am having is that the wifi is not working, i really need that to work , i dont have an unlimited data paln....

i tries adb push wlan.ko /system/lib/modules/ still no wifi.... any ideas on what to do
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
I'm wondering if they can show us how to do it, so hopefully a few of us can learn it and repack the Roms ourselves... Hopefully bother them this once to show us the how-to, then they have more time to do the real good stuff - new Roms for all users across the world! And we the Rogers users will port them ourselves.... since it looks like it's us the Rogers users that are troublesome :p (Or even better, they may have pl scripts that repack them automatically... :p)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
I've added libpdfviewer.so and re-upped it here.

Yes, it's repacked for HTC branded Magics :) , it will normally work with the stock HTC SPL. If it doesn't work with the HTC stock SPL they can always upgrade to the 2005 SPL found here.

Please note that some kernel things will NOT work, I didn't have time to implement all your kernel changes in the HTC branded kernel (might do this when I find some more time). The re-upped version runs on the ROGERS kernel.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ranxoren:
yeah exactly im down to try but i dont know where to start.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ranxoren:
Thanks so all the hard devoted work Amon_RA but i had a question for you, is the wifi working on your repack of this Rom for Rogers users ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Killadude:
am trying the repack now will tell u in 10 min if wifi works...

goddamm rapidshare and their ****ty speed.... could take a lil longer
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Start with installing Linux on your pc and set it up with the android sdk.

Read wiki pages here.

If you're only interested in packing and unpacking images you might want to read this. Reading things on the dream forum also helps heaps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ranxoren:
I have a MacBook Pro would MacOSX do or do I need a Linux environment ?

And thanks for the links :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
If you want to get wlan working on the HTC branded repack :

1. Download this wlan.ko.

2. adb remount

3. adb push wlan.ko /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko

+> I think it's better if nk02 continues his work, I feel like I'm stealing his work :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Killadude:
i tried that still it says unable to start wifi....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
I think MacOSX will work too :)

Unfortunately I don't have a Mac so I don't have any experience with it... :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Did you try to flash the wlan.ko from your backed up stock Rogers ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
This ROM doesn't work on the Rogers HTC Magic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Killadude:
yes it does im using it right now... except wifi everything is fuctional i even have root acess...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Wifi works here on my HTC branded after pushing the rogers wlan.ko...

Can you do a logcat or take a trace with ddms to see what is logged when you switch on wlan?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skittleguy:
Works like a charm with my Rogers. Fast and delicious.

And for a bonus, heres the apn config to get on Rogers core:

Name: Rogers
APN: rogers-core-appl1.apn
MMSC: http://mms.gprs.rogers.com
MMS Proxy: 10.128.1.69
MMS Port: 80

Leave other fields blank/unchanged

Condenses the old two into one!

EDIT: This rom fixes the Rogers timestamp issue! I love you guys!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
Even the Full version with Hero skin is faster than the Rogers stock ROM? I might jump on the full one then
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skittleguy:
Well, it's not actually Rosie...but it sure does looks nice!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Really I got stuck at the HTC screen. I waited about 10 minutes at that screen and nothing happened should I have waited longer?

Basically, I wiped my Android, used the update.zip, and then I fastbooted my boot.img. Am I missing a step here?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tomolewis:
any chance of getting o2 uk apns added pls?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Great. Thank you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bufodill:
this looks so nice, I will absolutely try full v4 when I get home tomorrow.

But as you said, for other languages request. Well, pretty please, would you fix me a norwegian one? I kinda just care about getting a working t9 in norwegian. I can get a norwegian qwerty by downloading scandinavian keyboard, and norwegian dictionary, but I would also love to be able to use the compact qwerty or the keypad.

thanks for your effort, you my sir should get a beer.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] phoboulinos@gmail.com:
Beautiful stuff!!

Wlan works if you copy wlan.ko.

Is there any way to remove that annoying blue time thingy????
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Killadude:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Killadude:

Just installed this with the pdf and wifi fix it looks AMAZING. Thanks to everybody for all the hard work im SO happy now.

Can't we use this Wifi Fix on the Superhero port for Rogers too tho ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] janjan:
thanks for rom. great job. Any one know how to add another language OR xt9 in the keyboard. cauz v4 contains just english in keyboard(xt9) language. Iam using danish language and its so difficult to write sms without danish xt9. so is it possible to get word suggestions in a language other than english? I can't change the keyboard language in the settings of touch input. What would be needed for this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
Hi Amon_RA,

I installed Linux, installed Android SDK ("adb devices" shows device), extracted and unpacked the original boot.img and your re-packed boot.img, trying to compare them... But... Any hints on what parts need to be edited to repack a ROM for Rogers (and/or other HTC-branded devices)? There seems to be many files in there.

EDIT: on second thought, am I even heading the right direction? Or should I just open the boot.img with a hex editor?

EDIT: on third thought, maybe a customized mkbootimg would make it easier?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Can anyone here give me a hint with a reason why this ROM doesn't work for me. I get past the Rogers screen into the HTC Magic screen and not any further. I followed the instructions exactly as they were written! Do I maybe have to update my SPL?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Killadude:
try it i have the latest 1.33.2005 and it works.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] guinnes.s:
so i just rename the R4 to update.zip and update using the recovery console right?

i am on vodafone 1.33.0004 do i need the recovery-RAv1.0H.img?????
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] guinnes.s:
UP AND RUNNING,looks nice,will trash it for few days to see how it perform .
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Grrr, why does it work for everybody but me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kavyt:
This rom is very sexy on my Rogers Magic.

Very happy so far.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Gimpeh:
How is the speed of this rom compared to ION?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
What is your radio version? And did you have to fasboot your old boot.img?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Gormanimal:
Maybe if you list what you know you have done successfully we can help figure out what's not working.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
These are the steps that I have taken so far:

1) I have rooted my Magic

2) I fastbooted my Magic

3) I loaded the recovery ROM

4) I ran the update.zip (this ROM)

5) phone would not boot, got stuck at Rogers screen

6) I fastbooted my boot.img

7) phone would not boot, got stuck at HTC screen

8) I upgraded my SPL

9) I followed steps 2 - 7 without success

Any ideas?

Edit: The SuperHeroV2 ROM works for me
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] myshyak:
Please add multitouch fix in this rom....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blingblingslyna:
will not start/boot :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] chillipepper:
nice....

Great Rom. Much better that the stock Vodafone UK attempt.

The hardesr part of the whole process, as this was my first root+SPL+ROM upgrade was getting the damn usb driver to install on Windows 7! :D

I like the ROM, nice clean and fast,.... and I like the skin BUT...

is there anyway to just scrap that horrible clock on the notif bar, lose the blue background and just use white txt? It almost spoils a super sleek interface.

Thanks for all your efforts, you're doing an excellent job!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nk02:
however, if you have an original vodafone magic (without root), you don't have to flash rootme-signed.zip! you can flash every rom rooted!

on original (not rooted) vodafone magic without recovery modded:

-rename rom zip in "update.zip", and put "update.zip" and "recovery-new.img" (i use haykuro recovery) in SD

-power on magic with back+power (hboot)

-"fastboot boot recovery-new.img", so boot modded recovery (boot, not flash!)

-wipe + apply flash

-at the first boot, write on terminal/prompt "adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-new.img" command, so you flash recovery for the next flash (you can boot it with home+power) :)

on rooted vodafone magic with recovery modded:

-rename rom zip in update.zip and put in sd

-power on with "home+power"

-wipe / apply update

@chillipepper: i've no idea how to change clock color ! i think it's impossible on ION, because there aren't "dex" file, only "oded" file. if someone have some idea...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] janjan:
nK02: thanks

Is it possible to get word suggestions in a language other than english? I can't change the keyboard language in the settings of touch input. What would be needed for this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Draxter:
First of all, the rom looks great. I haven't tried it as I would like support for the Dutch language... Will you add support for Dutch in the next release?
