I copy the file I downloaded (update_signed.zip) onto the SD , wipe and run the update. Phone will not start up. Gets to the Vodafone splash screen and appears to hang. If this is a clue the same thing happens to Fatal1ty_Hero-Full_V1.4-signed rom but SuperHero V3 seems to work. I'm lost. Clearly missing something. Any help is appreciated

cheers

Hi,

Does anybody know how to install Google Talk?

I've tried using the Talk.apk from the other hero rom using the command on the first page but even though it shows in applications there is no shortcut (icon) to use this.

Is the Beta going to include Google Talk?

Cheers

The first start-up is very slow... wait... ;) Works! But it is too slow for daily use!

<--Italian-->

La prima accensione è veramente lenta, ma funziona... ma per un'utilizzo quotidiano non è utilizzabile :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shingers5:
thanks for your hard work dude as i know it aint easy. hope the beta is ok for launch. once you get the base right we all know you will be on to a winner!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Roger3778:
I would have thought two hours would be enough
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] davec26:
what do you mean 2 hours is enough buddy ??? if your waiting two hours take battery out and reboot lol :eek::D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ckale82:
You, too! I waited 15 minutes...

So... you have a problem :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] samolevski:
Ok, wait for the widgets and see how they work. Hero is all the widgets. The alpha works very nice. Some problems with mail account server signing, but now works OK. Maybe it was the internet provider. I'll keep posting if I notice something else. Thank you very much for your job. I admire it!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Roger3778:
I do and I have no idea what to do next. I suspect it might have something to do with the SPL but as far as I can see I have the correct one and the correct set up but clearly something is wrong. I'm hoping someone will recognize the symptoms
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] chris4500uk:
anyone? Ive tried looking around the forum
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Roger3778:
Did all that. I'm not too stupid I hope:) I re-installed the SuperHeroV3 rom and that works fine. As I understand it both the SuperHero and the "Pure Black" roms are designed to run on my setup so why does only the SuperHero run. Also am using the Recovery-RAV1.1.1G.img recovery image

HTC SMSwidget.apk and .odex

Hello...

This rom is the best hero port I've tested on my vodafone magic (using AndrInit 32mb)...is fast and don't crash to HTC logo when come from web browser, etc...

I'd like to install the SMS widget and I don't find it from removed apps list..

Please, someone can upload the smswidget.apk and .odex?

Thanks and congratulations for the rom..

I cant change the touchflo wallpaper. When I try to set a picture from my SD it doesn't work. I can change the locked screen wallpaper but not the home. Is someone having the same issue ? Seems that there's a conflict between the sd albums and the default wallpaper galery.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jerpelea:
hy all

progress for now

update now has around 40mb

i have created an small install script

that

-mounts the sd with 3 partitions (manual partition)

-copy all apps to sd

-copy update.zip to storage card

-enters in recovery and waits for flash
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
I didn't think Apps2SD made any difference for the magic as we have enough space?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shingers5:
sounds like you been hard at work. will this script auto launch or would we have to apply manaully? also any update on tests after 3-4 days on battery life and slowdown? cheers mate

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
Thanks for new Rom, Downloading now:)

Installing now :) Exciting he he

Does this Have to have the partitioned SD card/apps on SD?

Am away again this weekend, so will test it as much as I can, will report back sunday, unless i get online somewhere (or from phone if everything works as it should!)

Will have my nandroid backup handy...

UPDATE:

Installed now, I think I missed something somewhere... Still sluggish, maybe I'll wait for your script to sort out the SD card thats probably the problem.

Synced to google/facebook fine, Rosie a pig as always :) so will get launcher back on there...will see how it survives this weekend

UPDATE x2:

Oh HTC screen of lag how I loathe thee...

Still getting lag on return to home, after not even stressing it that much. Sorry, I know you're putting so much work into this :) I think this time it's me jumping the gun, as no one else seems to have tried it yet... Nandroid is now restoring me and I'll try later, but I have to have my phone fully working tonight as I'm using copilot as GPS to get me to a family wedding other side of the country
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jerpelea:
for the slugish rom

just wipe device and reflash

i will launch an clear rom with open gestures beta+

seems fast and nice

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magpie2000k:
Hi mate,

Did you notice the clock widget...

Not sure how its been done but hopefully we could do same with weather and calendar.

BTW Bluetooth in latest beta will connect to my car. Can make calls, but doesn't pass audio. Any ideas....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
I did wipe and flash - so the trick is flashing twice?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jerpelea:
i know

audio is rooted only for 2 seconds after that process dies

working on it

as for clock widget is written from start is not an hero widget patch

br
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jerpelea:
no

just something went wrong

i have tested this rom and is fast

for rosies use htc spare parts and turn off any animation

open htc cpuspeed and set only max speed to 528

apply and check load at boot

restart phone

br
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jerpelea:
did you have audio with alpha rom ?

did he connect to your car?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] marc_hav:

For the rest, I LOVE THIS ROM !!!!

Thanks a lot !!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
Cool, Will try again
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] saquib:
Installed - initial impressions are it is pretty fast. Set the cpu to 528 and turned off animations.

will try adding other widgets and see it how it performs!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ukon:
Sorry if I seem stupid or anything.

but what do you mean with '32B version'?

I have ordered HTC magic.

But I have no idea if it is 32B or whatever it is.

Anyways.

This rom seems quite nice!

ill probably try ıt when I get home from Turkey!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fl4ppie:
Thanks jerpelea :)

This rom is working pretty fast just get the loading when returning to home from the weather app. Just a little bit slower than the ION rom but it looks so nice ^^
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magpie2000k:
good point,

it didnt on the previous rom

happy to flash and try any potential fix anytime
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
I've reflashed and used spareparts and setcpu as you said. It's better than the rest of the Hero ports so far, but for me the killer is that HTC screen going back to home. I don't think that will ever be solved for the devoces with limited RAM.

Best of luck with your continued work on this, but for me I'm going to wait for Donut and the rest of the 'official' updates...(well the rooted ones anyway)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shingers5:
well just come in from a hard day of graft and can see to my excitement jerp has released. i really would like to see a fully operational hero build for magic and applaud jerp's work. his work will save me having to buy a Hero in a few weeks when it comes out. i have flashed the rom and it looks great as expected. seems quick from the door but that always been the case. will see if it slowly grinds down after use and adding of widgets. also wanna test battery life as prev builds seem to consume batt life even in standby. i know it syncs in standby but not enough to drain a fully charged battery overnight! really hoping things are better with this build and that a final can be done...............else i will have to buy a hero!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magpie2000k:
Unless he can use gesture program to replace rosie.. Then we will have best of all worlds
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
The open gesture I downloaded didn't allow widgets... Does it work with the HTC widgets?!?!

It's a simple job to get rid of rosie and replace either using open gesture or launcher, I haven't got time now to try, leaving in 20min away till sunday. Will play then with whatever version is recent :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jerpelea:
to test this rom and battery life

at night stop fiwi,bluetooth,gps and data connection

power usage is irelevant if you play with your device 8hours / day

you need to mimic your usage

do not add wirgets now

i will add them later after testing them

some widgets have memory leaks and device will become sluggish after some hours

with installed widgets rom is fast even after 2 days without reset

br
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magpie2000k:
Rom is fine mate very quick all good stuff still would like to see with open gesture and rosie stripped out completely

only the wifi issue for me, oh and not having the widgets but!!!!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jerpelea:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magpie2000k:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shingers5:
think i will wait for a more stable or final version. i wanna use this rom but keep flashing french rom everytime it fuks up. using 5 beta for now till something more stable comes along. 5 beta is holding up nicely so far touch wood! i will keep it on overnight without switching anything off and see if i got anything left tomorrow. if it drains overnight i will flash french rom and let the guys who like testing to play with beta. i need ma phone for work so can't be messing about too much. keep up the good work mate! applaud your efforts
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] samolevski:
Does it have all the widgets or it's like the alpha?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fl4ppie:
Jerpelea,

Don't know if you are already aware of this but every time an application tries to determine location by wireless networks something crashes and the home screen has to reload. (In the 050b version)

I tried disabling location by wireless networks and that seems to fix the problem :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jerpelea:
location is disabled

because it had memory leak

so disable location at first setup screen

br
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magpie2000k:
Man long hour your killing me lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anidel:
Check the first post :)

Version 'C' is there...

So..

a - for alpha

b - for beta

c - for ? check it out?

d - for ? download it!!

e - for ? enjoy it!!

f - for ? ehehe you know it :p (no, not Final :p)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] goa200:
Anyway to enable it myself? kinda annoying that googlemaps and other widgets based on location aint working.

Otherwise it's working nice and no bugs so far
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Roy_Drage:
I'm using the (c) version of this ROM, whatever that means. I was confused as to which one to go for so went for this one.

Anyways so far it has blown me away, have used just tried a few others and this one is immense so far!! Been using ION which is super fast but is very similar to the stock ROM. Tried one of the french ones think but didn't like that!

Would like to try Fatal1tys HERO ROM but the link isn't working at the mo..... Is this ROM much different?

Would be nice to see a final stable version of this ROM, good stuff mate.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] D3NNY:
Whats the speed of this rom like so far.....is there lag from going to homescreen?

when i was using Fatal1tys rom it was very slow and took ages to switch to the homescreen from an app.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Roger3778:
Ill give this one more try and then give up. I'm hoping one of you experienced guys can point me in the right direction.

I have a Vodafone Magic sourced from Vodafone NZ

The current set up is

Sapphire PVT 32B ENG S-OFF G

HBOOT-1.33.2004 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

Apr 9 2009, 23:29:17

It has Recovery-RAV1.1.1G.img installed

I can flash the SuperHero V3 rom and it runs Ok. I cant flash this rom (even the latest one nor the Fatal1ty_Hero-Full_V1.4-signed rom. They both appear to be hanging on the Vodafone screen. I have waited at the stage for up to two hours and have tried rebooting several times.

Is the something wrong with my set up. All three Roms are for 32B boards but only one works

Can somebody suggest a different setup that might work.

Many thanks in advance

Roger
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] D3NNY:
ok so ive just installed the 50c beta and first impressions are good. It seems to be running pretty smoothly and fast. ive only been using it for 10mins and so will have to wait and see if it slow downs. So am i right in saying that the htc widgets were the reason for hero roms being so slow?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anidel:
I've seen a video of a real HTC Hero (they're appearing on a few blogs now) and I've noticed it loaded the first screen showing the "usual" Loading text... after that it was always there and this makes sense as there is much more memory.

The first round of 7 screens was packed with Widgets and this is sucking up RAM but also I've noticed that when the guys tried to switch to a different round of 7 screens (there are 6 or 7 pre-configured), the switch was quite fast and there was no "Loading" text...

I think that means that touchFlo is loading ALL of them at the same time, but only "starting" them up when the widget is visible (much like a Java applet is running when it's visible on the browser web page).

So a good hack would be to re-configure those themes without any widget at all for our magic.

This should improve HERO experience.

A part from that, I think we'll never be able to use it as it was meant to be used.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Roy_Drage:
Been using c-beta for over an hour now. Kind of like it, definitely my fav so far. I got rid of the big clock on the main screen, looks nice but don't really need it and it slows it down. Still get the HTC logo when going back to the home screen at times after using a memory heavy app, to be expected.

Loving the camera app on this one (even has a zoom). tested calling, txting, browsing (mulit-touch works great, flash doesn't but I don't know if it's meant to??) played around with a load of settings and seems to work, wifi connects fine. Haven't tried any GPS stuff yet.

Only 'force close' I got was when I went into spare parts and then clicked on battery history.

Still good stuff so far.

Can someone tell me the difference between this ROM and the fatal1ty one? I was really looking forward to trying the Twitter app but it's not on this ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jerpelea:
use gps for location and it will work

br
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jerpelea:
no

not all htc widgets

some of them

;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Roy_Drage:
About 12 hours in to using version c of this ROM, very very positive so far. Still pretty stable.

Only things i've noticed is that the LED isn't lighting up orange or green when it's charging. And I get a force close when going in to spare parts --> battery usage.

Will continue to use for the next day or so and keep updated.

-------------------------------------------------------

EDIT: Actually it lights up green when fully charged but doesn't glow orange whilst charging
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Roy_Drage:
Also just noticed, when playing music and you press the end call button (to send the phone to sleep and turn the screen off etc) music obviously continues to play but when you try and use the volume keys to change volume, it doesn't work. Nothing happens.

You used to be able to change the volume even when the phone was locked etc.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anidel:
Indeed, having the possibility to control the music player when the phone was locked was one of the thing I really liked in the Sense UI.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Roy_Drage:
It's usually standard in most phones as well mate, as it was in the stock Magic ROM. I'm sure it will get fixed and it's only a minor niggle.

This is still my favourite ROM so far, just went into fatal1tys Hero rom and took some of the wallpapers out and stuck them on this rom, looks beautiful!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Hmmm, no way to turn it back on by pushing some apps back to the phone? HTCLocationPicker and HTCLocationService were not enough to enable it again. GPS is múch too slow for me.

When using my favorite Weather widget it also fails, stating "Communication problem with Google geocode server". That's with GPS enabled...

Also when using the Albums app and watching some photo's alas the HTC-loading screen popped up again. I really think it's impossible to use Rosie on a Magic without reloading the UI once in a while.

Otherwise it's running great!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Hi,

tried this on 050c with the mail and message widget without success.

To get them running i moved them to /data/appx and changed mod to 644.

I've done that in recovery mode (RAv1.1.1G).

The widget apk's/odex's files are from jerpelea's hero black 1.4.

1. Boot Magic to recovery (HOME+POWER)

2. adb shell mount -a

3.

adb push application_to_add.apk /data/appx/application_to_add.apk

adb push application_to_add.odex /data/app/application_to_add.odex

4.

adb shell chmod 644 /data/appx/application_to_add.apk

adb shell chmod 644 /data/appx/application_to_add.odex

5. adb shell reboot

Now i don't know if the GUI gets laggy with the mail and message widget enabled. Will report that after some testing.

Sorry for my bad english!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Roger3778:
It appears Ive found the problem. I'm now up and running.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Roger3778:
Bugs

Now that I'm going.

1) Bluetooth pairs with my car but no sound.

2) I would love to have voice dial. Its seems the Voice Recognition intent is compiled out. ( the voice dial application in its current form is not very practical though but is still useful for searching contacts.

3) Reloading the Home screen is a ***** (couldnt it be cached on the sdcard?) or is that a dumb question.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jerpelea:
hehe

finaly i got leds working

also less dumps and errors

if everithig is ok i will upload the ewn version tomorrow

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Nice! Have pushed Launcher.apk to the phone and it is running like a dream. Haven't had a reloading UI once.

Could you tell me how to solve the location-problem? I don't like to use GPS to update the weather widget. I don't understand where the Google geocode error comes from... What do I have to put on the phone to solve this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] flex78:
add wanted apps

adb push application_to_add.apk /data/app_s/application_to_add.apk

adb push application_to_add.odex /data/app_s/application_to_add.odex

this not function with any application, pls help me.

Sorry for my bad english :-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Roger3778:
Did the same with the same result . No reloading. It didnt change the look of my Home screen. Wondering what it actually does but it works

Is there any way I can get the voice dialer working easily or maybe some more research is required on my part
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jerpelea:
depends

i will add it later
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
try to push them to /data/appx/ and chmod to 644

(worked for me with the mail and message widget)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] flex78:
its working with this command:

adb push app-hero/launcher.odex /system/app/launcher.odex

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lostfr:
Thanks a lot for this great ROM.

I have tested several Hero ROM (including a JacHero's port for magic), and non-Hero ROM, and this one is really the best in my opinion.

I have noticed only one problem and I don't seem to be the only one here: a google geocode error when using some widgets trying to determine position. Even if the phone location is enableb both by network and GPS, I get this message and couldn't determine which apk to replace to get this fixed.

Any hint ?

Thanks !
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jerpelea:
is fixed on next release
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Roy_Drage:
There is a txt file on the very first post with whats included/not included in this ROM. Seems there are none of the usual HTC widgets.

I must say this is one of the first roms i tried when flashing. I think I used (50 c - beta) it was quite nice.

I think this is the ROM i'm waiting for next as the JACHero ROM threads seem to be all over the place and hard to follow at the mo.

Plus I like jerpelea's work.
