1.16 always worked great for me, but since flashing back to it from the newer versions it has been flakey. I had wiped my device before and was able to reinstall apps before, so I am not sure why not now.

I can see apps that cost money, but a couple of protected apps are the issue now. The only app that is new on my device is the one you rwcommended to back up browser bookmarks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
I'm not able to view the Mabilo Ringtones app in the Market. This is a slightly different issue though (protected app). I was seeing the Pandora app but it would fail to download.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] edubarr:
It's always good to do a nandroid backup before flashing a new ROM. If something unexpected happens you can just restore the backup and you're good to go. Reflashing doesn't always work because there may be some leftover files either from the ROM itself or that were created by apps from the newer ROM (settings, history, etc).

Muffled sound

Hi

I have tried the HOFO ROMs 1.1.2 (w. gbo kernel), 2.0.1 and 2.0.2.

The HOFO ROM is wonderful and has exactly the features, I want, is fast and well built.

However, all the ROMS have the same problem, namely that my voice apparantly gets periodically very muffled on the remote phone of the one that I am talking with. I don't hear any degradation in sound quality but it is consistently reporeted by those that I speak with. It happens like every 5 minutes (not periodic, though) and lasts about 10-20 seconds and then the sound gets OK again.

I am NOT experiencing the same problem when using my stock ROM.

Has anyone experenced the same problem?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
In the next update I'll add the Vodafone settings, we'll see if they help you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] idovas:
Hey Hotweiss,

What is the ETA for your next wonderful ROM?

Sunday, I have an exam this Saturday.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] telee:
Wish you success in your exam.. !
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
Good luck Paul.

Woohoo can't wait to see if you can get the Donut Power Widget going on Sunday ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Ok, cyanogen has provided me with the fix for the protected app issue. So on Sunday I plan to apply this fix, use the new kernel with the BFS, and much more.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
BFS FTW! Cheers!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hgarcia85:
Cant wait!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ChillyEli:
Ok I've been trying to follow this ROM as much as I can and I have come very acustomed to many of the terms...

But I did some searching and I can't figure out what BFS means. Can someone explain what this is to me?

new link

something's up with 4shared does anyone mind posting a new link to 204?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] midtoad:
yes, the link to v.2.04 now directs you to abcjardins.com. Definitely something up with that. But v.2.05 should soon be available as hotweiss is busy beavering away on it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
It works for me.... Does anyone else have this problem?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lifeflayer:
works for me as well
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
^^ works for me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Phil_McRevis:
wierd

chrome directs you to http://www.abcjardins.com/Hacked//file/130549390/46d0ce59/hofo204.html

but firefox works... any explanation?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bademasta:
hmmm. any news on version 2.05? I would like to test the HoFo ROM but i thaught it's smart to wait for the new one.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
Patience ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bademasta:
i think i've read something about sunday, and in europe it's getting kinda late :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skittleguy:
Could the 2.05 posted on 4shared on 09/12/09 be version 2.05?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] geoken:
I just flashed it. Everything seems fine and the one issue I had with 204 (protected apps missing from market) has been resolved.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
hmm.. I guess hotweiss is still testing it, otherwise he would have updated this thread.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I will try to post a fix asap. The fix that cyanogen provided me doesn't work with the updated Rogers ROM. I will have to hunt down what is causing this issue, and I now have the time to do it. Will post an update as soon as I have a quality fix.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
hey, thanks for the update...can't wait to give the new ROM a spin. ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MOUSEY:
Hi all,

I welcome myself to this part of the community as I had got my Magic since last week. Anyway, I have a simple request in which I hope some forum members can be of help.

Can someone please upload the latest ROM to another mirror site (preferably Rapidshare) ? The current 4shared site had been giving much problems in downloading to myself and the local ISP on this part of the world here.

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] radikaled:
Here you go:

http://rapidshare.com/files/279735006/hofo204.zip

Your Welcome :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Phil_McRevis:
4shared was giving me problems because i was using chrome... tried firefox?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Update:

I tried using cyanogen's fix for the payed app problem, but it didn't work. I will look into this problem tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have something ready for you tomorrow.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xxgg:
So something have changed in ROM software? or something been changed from Android market side?

By the ways, is there a recommended RADIO file I should be using for my HTC Magic from Rogers?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] geoken:
Weird, I tried the version you uploaded on Sat. and it definitely fixed my problem. With previous the previous roms "calorie counter" was unavailable but after going to 205 it was suddenly visible in the market and I've installed and run it without a problem.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MOUSEY:
Thank you very much radikaled !! Your the man !

Phil_McRevis: Yeap, using firefox but still a bad download rate...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] elite_is3:
was it possible to install the Android keyboard to this build or did it cause issues?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hgarcia85:
I downloaded 2.0.5 version you uploaded the other day it is working great for me, I am able to download all my apps including the ones I wasnt able to download with version 2.0.4.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] midtoad:
Question

I notice that v.2.03 and v.2.04 both were identical in size. Do the ROMs actually have to be a certain size? I want to alter my hofo204.zip by editing /system/etc/t1wlan.ini to allow for ad-hoc connections, so I can use my laptop's ethernet connection and provide internet access to my Magic via the laptop's wifi card. Only issue is that my edit changes the size of hofo204.zip.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
How does the size of the hofo204.zip change anything?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Version 2.0.5

- updated MarketEnabler to version 3.0.2

- updated Loccy's Better Browser to version 1.4.2

- fixed issue with secured apps (thanks to cyanogen)

Download: http://www.4shared.com/file/132743335/79bf821a/hofo205.html (rename to update.zip)

You don't have to wipe, all of your settings will remain after the update.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bademasta:
thanks a lot!

is there a chance of getting BFS in your ROM?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Stratrix:
is there the fix for HQ Youtube on 3G?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jfive74:
i would love to be able to do this. @hotweiss, can you please implement this? I use certain programs on my n95 8gb and iphone 3gs that turn the phones 3g connection into a wifi spot but the magic never detects the connection. :-(.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] midtoad:
jfive74, it seems that the actual process of enabling ad-hoc wifi is fairly simple. You can read it here. You can edit files in the system folder using the Terminal application and busybox (which is included in the HoFo community ROM), but it's a bit of a pain working at the command line on the Magic. If we are flashing a new ROM anyway, it seems more straightforward to edit the files on the PC. All we have to do is unzip the HoFo205.zip file, change the relevant files, then zip back up, being careful to maintain the directory structure. It should work.

Update: I found this post which explains in more detail the process for enabling ad-hoc wifi access, and shows a way to avoid editing files on the Magic itself by using adb (Android Debugging Bridge) which is part of the SDK, or can be installed separately.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lokto7:
Thanks hotweiss. Does it include CIME?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Version 2.0.6

- you can now watch High Quality YouTube videos over a 3G connection (the update removed the ability)

- updated to the latest TigerTael kernel, now with BFS

- updated WLAN driver

Damn you move quickly.

I just updated my phone an hour ago to 2.0.5 and I have to say that it's a lot faster from my old 2.0.0. Everything feels smoother.

Thanks again :)

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
2.0.7 should be ready in 30 minutes or so, and it has no visible issues at the moment.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:

So no chance of getting the "Google Search" widget to the correct proportions then eh?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:

Hi,

First I want to thank you for all your dedication to this project.

I have never had any problems until trying to update to 2.0.6 or .7

Im getting the message can mount /dev/block/mmcblk0

p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)

(no such file or directory)

I have followed the same instructions I always have and Im not understanding what this message means?

Thanks

djs
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
I get this all the time too. What I realized just now when updating from 2.0.6 to 2.0.7 is that I may be pressing the "Green" button too quickly after selecting to apply ROM from update.zip. Try waiting a few seconds and then hitting the "Green" button.

As long as you're certain you named the file "update.zip" and not "update.zip.zip" or something similar. It will work as after a few tries.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Version 2.0.7

- had to switch to TigerTael's 4.1.7 kernel to get camera working again, you still have BFS

Hey Hotweiss as a thank you gift want a Linksys router? WRT610N to be exact :D

It works fine and it's cosmetically new.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] apacheo:
The only problem with 4Shared is that it doesn't work properly on the HTC Browser, which means I can't download and update OTA :-(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] apacheo:
You've done an excellent job here- this ROM is by far the fastest I've used on my Magic. I'm very grateful :-)

Could you include the Superuser Whitelist app in the next edition? I know I can easily drop it in the rom image on my own, but it might be a nice addition to the standard rom for others.

Just my 2c...

Very grateful :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
No need for it in my opinion. Right now it's a solution for a problem that doesn't exist.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jfive74:
will try and report back. thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lifeflayer:
Wouldn't it be nice to upload the updates to a web server instead of using free download services? This way it would be very easy to flash updates on the go with htc browser, astro and amon_ra's recovery image :) I have a hosting plan with unlimited bandwidth/storage that I got only to experiment with and is not actively using if you need one.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jvincent66:
Tried out 2.07 and it is pretty nice.

However, I've been trying out a Hero ROM for the last week or so and I think I prefer the overall look and feel of Hero.

Have you considered doing a Rogers friendly Hero port?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Sounds good, PM me the info.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
From my experience the Hero ROM's eat batteries, they still have some serious technical issues (e.g.-Bluetooth), and a few bugs here and there. A ROM for day to day use should be rock solid. Plus, the JAC ROM is simply amazing for what it has to offer now - I don't know how I could make it any better.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jvincent66:
Fair enough.

FWIW, I don't use Bluetooth so that really doesn't affect me but I have been using the WMHeroLight ROM and I haven't seen any battery issues and it's been very stable for me.

PS-these optimizations will not give you any extra space as they are on a different partition, but they will give me extra space for the ROM...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mstolpner:
Yellowpages.ca crash

I tried reinstalling it but it did not help.

It may have something to do with Advanced Task Manager but I am not 100% sure. It is not able to update Location screen field when ATM is running but it may crash even if ATM is not running.

It crashes only after an installation. It does not crash anymore if it was able to start once. During first several start attempts after an installation:

- when I start the app, it starts the GPS

- and once GPS acquires location in a second or two

- I get a message that process com.ypg.find has stopped unexpectedly.

Sometimes it just starts. I tried reinstalling it again and again and I got exactly same behaviour. It seems more stable when I am outside with a good GPS reception and when ATM is not running.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ichijin:
Won't it also speed up when the apk is put into memory (ie. when you start the application)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
In theory yes, but I doubt that you will see any difference. If I see that people aren't reporting any bugs, I will optimize the files.

rogers radio

hi am using cyanogen 32a port rom v4.0.4 - stable version with Base Kernel v4.1.9.2 the reception is very weak, when i had the hofoion rom it was alot better i think because it had teh Rogers radio?

Would like to know if there is anyway to merge the Rogers radio to the 32a port rom v4.0.4 - stable version with Base Kernel v4.1.9.2 ?

thank you

None of the versions above 2.0.5 seem to work for me :( Stuck with a constant reboot at boot screen.

I've tried wipe + flash as well as update over 2.0.4 (to 2.0.8) with the same result. Seems to be something with the new BFS kernel perhaps?

Do I need to repartition my SD card or something to get this working?

Flashing 2.0.4/2.0.5 still works though.
