I tried a couple ROMS for my Dutch Vodafone-branded Magic, but I like this French baked 'cake' the best :)

It's has the Hero-keyboard I like and the speed of a normal Cupcake-build. It really rocks my Android-world at the moment. And... o yeah, I love the fact that Smartphone France is updating so often!

From Holland: Vive la France :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zidane:
can someone make these roms work on 32A phones?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MadBeaverDK:
Would it run on a 32A if I copied the boot.img and wlan.ko from a working 32A ROM?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] XperiHans:
My bad... it's translated perfectly ;-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] spfrance:
What apps ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] XperiHans:
My bad... it's translated perfectly ;-) Some widgets were still in French, but after a quick restart everything is in Dutch :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Loccy:
Just wanted to say +1 to this ROM. Have just taken the plunge into updating my handset and this was the first I tried. Exchange compatibility was an important aspect for me and is why I chose this one. That works well, but I am also very pleased with the speed overall (which means I'm able to use Steel - IMO the best browser on Android - without running out of memory and grinding to a halt).

One thing I did want to ask about though - is there an English version of the swapper app included in this ROM? And for that matter, are there any English instructions in its use? I might consider nabbing a bit of swap space on my SD card just to give me a bit more memory, but my French is distinctly poor.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] XperiHans:
I'm back at the original Vodafone ROM, but there's just one reason for that: the HTC Contact-app.... I prefer the Google-version by miles...

Is there a possibility to change the contact-app to the Google-version?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Loccy:
???? - Voda UK's contact app is exactly the same as the one I see in this ROM. With the added extension of the "company directory" (i.e. the Exchange contact list).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] XperiHans:
In de SPF-version has the annoying Google behind every contact in the list. I just don't like that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crashtestdummy:
That's because with this ROM you cannot only synchronise with Google, but with Exchange as well. Both address books are synchronised to the same contactlist. You have the Google behind every contact to show that contact is synchronised with your Google address book.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] XperiHans:
Exactly, but I want to turn that off... is that possible?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
I've just installed the 2.6 version of this ROM - it's pretty darn good! Hats off to the dev for creating a nice looking and speedy ROM with a nice built in set of features. There are a few things I would like to customise though that I need a bit of help with ... the main one is the dialler - How do I get the standard Cupcake contacts/dialler app back? I really don't like the HTC one in this ROM.

Also how can I change the theme back to the standard cupcake theme?

also why there are two files named "build" one .prop and other .sfr

any ideias?

PS: with the ringtomes , i was able to make new ones as default, but not the linguage files!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pdagenius:
Problems with sounds

I am trialing version 2.7. I have done a wipe and install and installed other apps and settings from scratch.

I have had a problem with the phone not ringing and also not sounding the noise for incoming text messages.

I thought the Forum should know. A reboot of the phone has now sorted the problem out but I am none the wiser about what had caused the problem.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] spfrance:
Do you make a SMS restore ? Or just install from scratch ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] toshi:
Yeah I had same problem. However at the time I just thought it was my phone. I too did a phone reboot and this fixed it - but it's interesting to know I'm not the only one that had this issue..

but apart from this minor blip, it's still the best ROM around! ::))
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] offcina:
@ spfrance

any way u can help me in default language for your rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pdagenius:
Thank you for the reply... good to know it is a ROM issue and not our phones :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] XperiHans:
I found another thing that irritated me a little bit. Normally only the Google Contacts from the group 'My Contacts' are synced between the phone and my Google Contacts, but this Roms doesn't sync 'My Contacts' but 'All contacts', is there a way to change that?

Exchange Synchronisation

Hello,

I'm completly new to this forum and to android.

Actually I have got an austrian HTC Magic and want to "upgrade" to this firmware, because I want to synchronise my contacts, emails and calendar with the corporate M$ Exchange Server.

Is this possible with this firmware or is only push email supported?

Thanx in advance!

Kind regards,

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] spfrance:
Try to uninstall first :)

my way:

adb remount

adb install -r taskManager.apk (with success)

adb shell reboot

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eva_d:
OK, thanks anyway.

Btw, is there any way of installing additional language dictionaries after flashing the ROM?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
NO WAY!

I've tested several Hero Roms... Qtek's was the fastest but the delay opening applications is always present and never as fast as standard cupcake 1.5. I really appreciate your effort on keeping cupcake experience as smooth as possible.

Is Portuguese language in your keyboard?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Magixo:
yes, thanks, that works.

i didn't knew there is a difference between uninstall via Applications Menu and the adb code.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nop56773:
We're 2! I heard that this keyboard is from HTC and they have left portuguese implementation for a 2nd wave. I don't know if this is true, but if it is, then we'll have to wait...

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] avimak:
Hi, I'm using 2.6 - Is there any good reason to change for 2.8?

another question, can you guys make a quick and light ROM of this form?

you know, the same theme, the same general idea (Google apps, Exchange, HTC Contacts and dialer) without any other addition?

thanks ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pdagenius:
That's what 2.8 is. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] riddelln:
This may - or may not - be true. If your corporate exchange server requires you phone to be remotely provisioned and enforces a security policy on the phone then you're exchange email won't work. Have you a WinMo at the moment? Did you have to change your security settings in order to get access to your exchange email via activesync? If so you should probably consider buying Touchdown Pro instead as has support for exchange servers that enforce device security policies.

I cannot use the normal HTC ActiveSync software but can use Touchdown.

Cheers Niall
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] justbenjp:
My exchange server at work enforces a security policy (exchange 2007), the only thing which i turned off on the server was enforce pin code (because its annoying after a while)

Everything is working fine with mine, syncs mail, contacts and callander

Oh, nice ;)

when i enter the email program it lets me put user and password but both manual setup and next buttons are greyed out.

anybody had same issue ?

working fine here, got a Gmail account , and 2 IMAP accounts setup in Mail app.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
I want to leave my feedback about 2.8 :)

Since I've flashed it, using the phone as I usually do, on other ROM's I would get about 2 days of battery, and with this one, I'm running right now at 43% of battery and having the phone running for 83:45:15, 83:45:16, 83:45:17... you get the idea :)

I don't know if it's because it's a really clean ROM and has all we need.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mr.trader:
maybe the mail app work correct ?? :rolleyes:

Gmail works perfect, but if u setup other mail accounts they wan´t sync (IMAP) and don´t use the setted notification settings...

Hopful,

Cheers Andi
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mr.trader:
scheduled send/recive too ?? For me not... :mad:

NEED THIS PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Magixo:
i don't know if it makes sense, but what is about Compcache in this rom ?

would apps like copilot running better ?

thanks

magixo
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dtbogor:
the two IMAP accounts are set for Manual refresh,

Gmail appears to come "as and when it pleases", as in, a type of delayed pushmail. My Gmail is setup to fetch from the other accounts, so in my case i actually get both my imap accounts in two different locations. (gmail and mail.app)

didn't notice the broken schedule send/receive until your last post.

hi !!

if possible man, want hero clocks, it would be great, really !!!

@+ man
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] avimak:
I would love to see the Hero app without the heavy rosie.

I'm talking about the facebook/twitter/flicket integration, the nice looking clock settings, the MT browser.

I know somebody started it, it's quite fast, but unstable and heavy for a daily use. maybe if you'll be able to make it fast and stable - it'll be a decent improve for the 32B lovers :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] L10nH34Rt:
Correct me if I am wrong, but just install any hero rom and then remove rosie.apk and .odex
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] avimak:
It will be very buggy and unstable.

will be more stable and fast to base it on cupcake and just use some of the Hero apps. furthermore, we don't want Hero settings, just some of it's feature (better calendar, better mail client etc.)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] L10nH34Rt:
That would be veeeery difficult to achieve... I believe Hero apps require hero framework and that would be buggy and unstable as well... But maybe ROM cookers know better :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] amc0:
Why are all the widget names in french even though my phone is in english?

I used long time 2.6 and now updated to 2.8 with wipe.

I can see now a change on the APN logo. on 2.6 it was most of the time showing "3G" and now with 2.8 it only shows "H" does this mean it is slower now ?

release 2.8 su permission

Hallo

i am quite new in this forum, using the 2.8 ROM for bout 2 weeks now and would at first thank you for the good work.

my next target was to install a teather tool for example "anetshare"

From the ROM description and checking status with "Zekos" Android flash helper it seems that the phone is root.

after programm installation it starts but when request SU it will continuly stop.

checking SU with "terminal emulator" the error measage is as follow " activity SU request (in app Superuser Permission) does not react"

can anyone help?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Schafkopf:
Hi there,

I am quite new and just flashed your ROM just a few days ago.

Thanks alot for your work - I am quite impressed compared to the original Vodafone ROM.

But I have two questions, I could'nt find aan answer yet:

- I am using the exchange client for calendar, contacts and email. I want to use push notification but it seems, that this isn't working reliable. Whenever the internet connection is lost and reconnected again, the push service seems to work only after a manual refresh. The server is Zarafa with -z-push which works absolutly stable with an iPhone. Is there a chance, to make it work even after the data connection is lost?

- At home I want to use WLAN connection. My WLAN router is a Fritzbox 7050 from AVM. Connection is using WPA. I can connect, but it happens quite often, that I loose the connection after Standby - Then I cannot connect anymore and have to turn off and on WLAN a few times until its working again.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Schafkopf
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Cheesebaron:
This ROM hasn't been updated for a whole month, I suggest using something else. CyanogenMod would be a good place to go.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Schafkopf:
Hi Cheesebaron,

thanks for your answer.

I had a look on CyanogenMod before, but as far as I understood it doesn't support complete exchange support.

My problem is, that I "only" have a Vodafone Magic (32B) which doesn't have Exchange/ActiveSync support by default. So I have to choose a ROM which is based on the HTC firmware for 32A.

I haven't found any alternatives so far - but would be happy about any suggestions

Greetings,

Schafkopf
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Cheesebaron:
Maybe you want to try one of those Hero ROMs then, they have the HTC framework, and if you disable rosie you have almost the same speed as with normal magic ROMs, thats at least what I am told.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skhell:
Hi, I have just installed the 2.8 version of this rom and it great :)

I have the phone language in English, but some things are in French. In Calender -> Manage it appears a "Mon agenda"... I guess it would be "My agenda", any way to solve this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Cheesebaron:
Reboot your phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :No-Frost::
So... This rom is for the 32A????

There is an issue with 2.8 version where none of the widgets are getting updated i.e. weather forecast, calendar, on/off switches.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Draxter:
This rom is ancient... I moved on to a much better rom months ago - Cyanogenmod :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] XperiHans:
Ancient or not, it does have full exchange-support, something Cyan doesn't. And that it's still cupcake is not SFR's fault, it's HTC's. They're not creating a Donut-rom. From what I've heard Eclair will be their first next update.

But with Eclair I don't need the HTC-framework anymore, 'cause Exchange-support is one of the new features in Eclair :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mmujicic:
ROM removed due to poor support. It's better to look somewhere else.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ukm700user:
Thanks flashing now
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Cheesebaron:
You might have to reboot your phone after changing language, because some of the notifications remained French on my phone until I rebooted.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
This Rom is fast! :D

Unfortunately it is impossible to deinstall apps (that were already on the phone after flashing) using the in-phone Applications/deinstall function. Also when using ddms the File Explorer does not work, so adding/removing apps must be done by hand, which is rather cumbersome :(

And no multitouch browser as well, alas.
