Donkey3000: I'm quite sure it's cause of Sense UI, but it kinda sucks that it doesn't work with a Sense UI made for Magic :|, as briggs81 said.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] clandest:
I was reading the description and it says this rom is pretty much made for the Rogers magic correct? I was just wondering if there is a diff from using this rom compared to others since I do have a Rogers HTC Magic.

Thank you
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xiutian:
Will we be able to do Apps to SD with this rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I might add it in a future update. I just don't see any reason to add it...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mcg:
I'd prefer the ROM be as vanilla as possible and have optimizations as new updates come out.

Features such as those should be left to the end-user to install his/herself, since not everyone may want it :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ExTREmE99:
Is there a way we can keep the htc hero notification bar or somehow modify it ?

I think im ready to downgrade from the Hero roms and use this rom instead...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xiutian:
I'm using daldroid's ROM right now and am unable to install the AppsToSD. Emailed the app dev to ask and was advised that the ROM would require unionfs for the app to work. The space on my phone is getting limited so would like to be able to use this function.

BTW, I'm on a Singapore HTC branded Magic. Have bricked my Magic twice with two other ROMS so a bit apprehensive to be changing ROMs on a whim.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MoreYummy:
I dont see how to install opvn on windows at first step.

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Apparently there's a new version, that's why that link didn't work:

can we make the cpu freq down clock to 128 mhz? just want to have a little more battery life. I tried using SetCPU but that made my phone freeze
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
The cpu scales from 82 MHz all the way to 528 MHz.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jfive74:
hey hotweiss, is it possible for us to port multi touch for the browser?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
No one has figured out a way to port the Hero browser yet... Donut is right around the corner, and I think it is supposed to have a multitouch browser.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wysie:
hotweiss: CyanogenMod has the multitouch browser, and it's not from Hero. I think (may be wrong) it may be based off this: http://lukehutch.wordpress.com/2009/01/25/get-multi-touch-support-on-your-t-mobile-g1-today/
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jfive74:
Thanks bro. To bad we all don't have the same boards. Seems like the bucket is getting dry for us. :-(. I hear people post about YouTube app with HD option but when using it I've never found it. Is it a new app or from a special build? I've taken my Rogers rom and done much of what you've done. Added busybox and terminal to it. What is all this dex and obex conversion of the apps about? Is to conserve space? Mod files easier? Can't seem to find much info about it. Like your work and like you I'm inspired to learn more and make the best of android.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I've tried one of the ROM's with the HD "option", but I did not see any difference. Correct me if there is a difference... Optimizing the dex files speeds up the boot a bit, but it really doesn't make a noticeable difference... once again, correct me if I'm wrong.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Yes, to get the multitouch working you need to perform a kernel patch. I don't know how to perform such a task, but I'll start researching it...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jfive74:
What are the differences between the 2 kernels to begin with? If we answer that, the rest should come. Bloody 32a boards :(

Wish some of the dream devs would come give us a hand.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I don't know what the differences are to be honest with you. I know that they cannot be used interchangeably...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wysie:
hotweiss: I was reading in the Nordic thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4096005) that HTC might release their kernel source for 32A at the end of this month. Can't wait for it to happen, will be really good news for all 32A users/developers :D. Until then I don't think it's possible to patch the kernel :(.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] linhnd:
Can this ROM use for PVT32A?

Please add some information about it to your thread. Thanks very much !!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xiutian:
This ROM is meant for PVT32A boards.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Swapping has been turned off in the kernel, as it slows down 32A devices.

I have no idea why you can't kill tasks. I will look into it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Market update notifications aren't instantaneous, they come up every so often...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] RtOaNn:
I hope I didn't miss somebody asking this, but is this ROM rooted?

Can't find it in your description.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Stratrix:
theres an issue with the htc calendar.

if i am in "1 day time view", the events don't show up. but it shows up in agenda view.

my htc calendar widget (the thin one) no longer works. it says no events, but if i use the google calendar widget, it works fine.

this worked back in 3.0.0 ... don't know why its acting up in 3.0.3
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Rede83:
Try using the "Wallpaper Set and Save" app from the market.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
ok cool...was about to ask again but I get the answer now:D

thanks alot for this great rom, it's the only rom that can auto-retrieve my APN from my telco.

anyway...just a glitch from previous 3.0.0 (not sure abt 3.0.3) is that HTC_CIME only allows certain "method" to compose i.e. Handwritting, ZhuYin & CangJie.....but what I need (and it does exist in the official HTC_CIME) is another method called "PinYin", is it possible to get the same as in myhero's ROM?

thanks again in advance.....appreciate ur hardwork and everything the best!!!:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Will look into adding back PinYin.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
The core has really not changed... I would try a wipe first to see if it fixes your problem, just because I don't see any other solution at the moment.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
This ROM is made for 32A Magic's, but not specifically a Rogers Magic. We're still waiting for the official Rogers update.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Yes, you can go 3.0.3 right away, but you have to wipe first.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
That's a sign telling you that you need a wipe.

I'm going to add some commands to the update script to try to eliminate force close error's.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jfive74:
Running nice hotweiss, nice!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zeotrope:
Is there any solution to the rogers sms timestamp issue? Where received messages show up 4 hours behind
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Donkey3000:
big problem for me here after upgrading to 3.0.3 (yes, I wiped). For the first couple of hours I had wifi on so I didn't notice the problem, but I have no mobile network connection. I have 3 bars, but no 3G/H/E(Edge) symbols. Cannot use browser, get no email, etc. Wifi is fine. My wife's blackberry connects fine and mine was before I wiped and applied this rom.

Always on mobile is checked. Connect to mobile networks is checked. I've tried with and without the "use only 2g networks" setting enabled.

Any ideas or additional info I can supply? I really don't want to have to go back. Rogers htc magic on Rogers network about 100Km from Toronto.

EDIT: phone calls work fine

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] HuMpS 97 DoHc:
did you enter in the apn settings for rogers???
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Donkey3000:
haha, nope. I thought they were already there.

Does anybody have the rogers settings off hand?

Thanks.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Tony_M:
Running 3.0.3 and everything seems to be alright, you do good work.

When I tried to use adb it wouldn't see my device because the phone's driver wasn't working anymore.

It seems running Sense changed my phone's device number.

I just had to edit the inf for it to work (Windows 7 64-bit).

Is this normal?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zeotrope:
I tried smsfixtimes and it fixed my previously received messages, but not the new ones
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] HuMpS 97 DoHc:
what cpu settings are you running in the 3.0.3???
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DrSpaceman:
Just thought I'd say that I've been very impressed with HoFo 3.x so far. It's fast, has startlingly good battery life, and has been very quickly updated to address most of the early stability issues.

The most important factors for me are battery life and stability, and as far as I can tell from looking at other Sense ROMs, this one beats them all out in both of those categories. Obviously there are still some rough edges that need to be ironed out (and also some annoying issues that are inherent to all Sense ROMs), but I've been enormously impressed so far.

Thanks for all your hard work and dedication, hotweiss! Keep it up!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mstolpner:
Hotweiss, did you update the Bluetooth in 3.03? I tried it and the caller id still does not go through to my car.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Hmmmm, I did do a Bluetooth update, but it seems that it only fixed the a2dp issue. I'll see what I can do about your headset. Can you give me a ROM that fully worked for you with the version number?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] HuMpS 97 DoHc:
I've posted this a few times and got no response from anyone. So nobody else has the issue when waking it up from sleep??? i push the menu button and it takes a few seconds for the screen to show, with other hero roms it was alot quicker.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] silvertag:
Instant for me..... did you try a wipe/reinstall of 3.0.3 ? i can see no reason for it to be slow.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pmp.s:
Hofo

Ive abandoned Cyanogen Rom which i really loved the speed of it ! bu the hofo Rom seems to be as fast + all the applications seems to be compatible !

thank you for this nice ROM!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bjareboy:
Still having the problem with the wifi turning off freeze. Wasn't this supposed to be fixed? (Running 3.0.3)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] keisuke_z:
Hmm, I have this problems as well - my ringtone kept playing until it was done, after I had already answered the call..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Tony_M:
Happening to me on 3.0.3. I need a short ring :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daeshawn:
try turning off vibrate if u havr it on
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] keisuke_z:
Interesting! It seems that the ringtone issue only occurs when vibrate is on... hopefully that helps with debugging!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bruor:
I've seen people say that they can clear the defaults for a "touchflo" application and press the home key to re-set the default home app on a hero rom.

I just checked and I don't see touchflo in applications, but I do see a "home" app that all buttons are greyed out for.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
You probably need a wipe...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kimchi0400:
I had troube receiving MMS with those settings until I added the bolded parts above. That makes the complete Rogers APN. Funny how those two lines weren't included in ALL stock Rogers Dreams and Magics, giving all of them MMS issues.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bjareboy:
I did... Wiped and then flashed 3.0.3. Used the recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img, but that can't be the reason..

Tried another wipe and flash, works now :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] HuMpS 97 DoHc:
i have never put in the username/password and I have no issues with sending and receiving mms messages.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pernik:
In v.300, i can use bluethooth both a2dp & phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
What about 3.0.3?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mstolpner:
Any version prior to 3.x worked fine including the latest 2.27.

Just to clarify. In version 3.03 Bluetooth mostly works for me: I can place and answer the calls, I can see my phone contacts on the Bluetooth device. The only problem is that when I get a call I do not see the caller id on the Bluetooth device.

Thank you so much for all your efforts!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darvo:
Why does my phone always set time to Pacific Time (GMT-07:00)? I'm in Eastern time zone (GMT-04:00)! "Automatic" is checked in Date and Time settings. I had similar issue with other Sense UI ROMs.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :No-Frost::
Just to know... What languages does this rom has????
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] snorlacks:
Ring Tone

I'm also having trouble with the ring tone that plays all the way thru. I did find that some ring tones actually work correctly. Don't know what the different between them is.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] clandest:
just english and japaneses from what I saw.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] NguyenHuu:
the ringtone problem is also present in new version of myHero. maybe its a bug in the new sense update. but strange thing is it only affect some people. not sure how that works haha.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daeshawn:
turn vibration off and it should work properly..dont know why though
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] frankinmerth:
on a similar note when I was selecting ringtones I noticed that when I selected one and it started playing, then selected another the first finished playing in entirety before it switched over.

Perhaps the issue is a difficulty interrupting audio playback in general?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] seto_613:
It's English and Chinese Traditional, not Japanese
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lifeflayer:
Hmmm, just tried WiFi tethering on 3.0.3 (upgraded from 3.0.0 without wipe) and the log shows the following error:

Tearing down firewall rules...
iptables v1.3.7: can't initialize iptables
table `nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)

My netbook can connect fine but is unable to actually access the internet. I have tried it with both Access Control on and off. I might do a wipe later on to see if it fixes it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] awtryau89:
Question for Paul or others. The HTC Keyboard on this Hofo rom is the stock one that came with the TW update. Is there any advantage to installing the universal HTC IME from other Hero roms if you are using nothing but English? I was surmising that the stock IME in this rom would be lighter and work better since it had less languages and took up less space. I may be wrong. Also, can I uninstall the Chinese CIME from this rom and still have the English keyboard? I was a afraid the 2 were linked. In previous Hero roms, I could uninstall the Chinese and Japanese IMEs and save tons of space. Thanks in advance.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hondaguy:
Go to settings

Applications

Manage applications

HTC sense

Clear defaults

NExt time you press home key you can set it to use the regular android homescreen.

Is that what you were looking for?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] radonsg:
Yes. I notice the same issue too.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
Today I've had two random reboots so far...

Once right after I received a text message, and the other time I was about to post on this forum explaining how I had random reboots...

Anyone else have this problem?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ma678:
HTC Sync works. Really appreciate your help, Paul.

Has anyone found each city in World Clock has a duplicate time?

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SpaceBoy2000:
Alright, I updated my USB driver (which I thought I did, but I did it again), and I tried using ADB. No dice.

In Device Manager, the computer just seems to see the phone as an "HTC Android Phone USB Device" under "Disk Drives". I can force Windows to just install the hardware anyways, and it'll install "Android ADB Interface" under "Android Phone", and then throw me an error under device status "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"

It does look like I'm the only one experiencing this though, so, where should I go for help?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SpaceBoy2000:
Quick update - tried it on two other computers (that did not have any previous Android phones connected to them). Same issue. Could this possibly be a HTC Sync problem?

EDIT: Finally fixed it. If anyone gets a similar issue, go here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2676
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] elite_is3:
Liking this so far, especially the speed. Very usable compared to other Sense UI.

Side note. The fact this rom is chinese/Taiwan/whatever in origin is slightly annoying. IE: all the symbols in the keyboard menus etc. hopefully can be revised to a full English setup in the future. I took me a minute just to get the english one to appear lol. Anyway good job so far, LEAST I HAVE BLUETOOTH NOW woot!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Phil_McRevis:
Hey is it possible to add busybox? i'm not really smart enough to figure it out
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ct809:
how are you guys getting it to work with windows 7?

i cant seem to figure out how to install drivers on win 7

actually, when I plug in my phone and go to device properties to update drivers, I get 3 choices

ADB

F:\ (which is my USB drive)

HTC ANdroid Phone USB Device

when i go into properties>change setting>update driver for ADB, and select the android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2 folder, it comes back as

"Windows could not find driver software for your device."

Then when I select F:\, i get "Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date, WPD FileSystem Volume Driver"

Then for HTC ANdroid Phone USB Device, I get "Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date, Disk drive"

either way its not working correctly, then when I go to the tools folder and open up a dos prompt and type in 'adb devices', nothing shows up.

Man I knew I shouldnt have upgraded to windows 7 lol, I hope someone has an answer to this! TIA
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] NguyenHuu:
THANK YOU!! this worked, i can now use adb with all of the new sense based roms. i will spread the news to the townsfolk! hehe
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] seto_613:
v3.0.3 is good but slow down after a day.

it may be caused by program cache. i set the browser, gmail, gmap etc programs cache to sd card and it run smooth.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Phil_McRevis:
Droid Explorer

Has anyone gotten Droid Explorer to work with this ROM? It was so useful with cyanogen's roms but when i use it with HoFo i just get an empty root folder.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
same here, been running it for a day till now and noticeable slowdown even after my advanced task manager 3.6 autokills apps on an hourly basis, probably as time goes by there are growing in number of 'processes'(not applications in frontend) as advance task manager only able to autokill applications in frontend (?)

enable swap might help :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ct809:
Thanks, that worked great for me as well :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gbil:
Hotweiss is it possible to add tun support to the kernel ? As a module maybe so as not to increase the kernel size for those who don't want it.

Thank you
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darvo:
Anybody having timezone syncing problems? Like the phone showing West Coast time when you are on the East Coast?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] seto_613:
about not enough internal memory and system slow down, i use this way to solve.

Copy and Link:
cd /data
cp -a app /sdcard/
rm -r app
ln -s /sdcard/app /data/app
reboot

Restore:
cd /sdcard
cp -a app /data/
rm -r app
ln -s /data/app /sdcard/app
reboot

This is App to SD on Fat but not Ext2/3.

Speed of running apps is up, more internal memory for apps' cache.

Some apps need to re-install (locale, keepscreen, fxcamera, etc) and i don't know why. if someone knows, pls tell.

I'm still testing on this only but some myhero rom users are using this way, so i think no problem.....maybe.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] icepixie:
Paul I see from your twitter that you know wireless tethering doesn't seem to be working. I had tried it out yesterday just before seeing your twitter and yep it's broken! I can't connect to the internet through the wireless tether.

I get the message "Retrieving sign-in details..." whenever I open up the browser. Never seen that before with 2.x.x version of the ROM. Does this have anything to do with not having "always on mobile" checked?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
For WiFi tether you do need always-on mobile checked, but it should still work before the data connection is suspended. If I have enough time today, I will fix WiFi tether.

I really should have done that first before posting.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Busybox is possibly broken... I will try to fix it tonight... I'm suspecting that it's the reason why WiFi tethering is not working...

Does anyone have problem to receive emails from @live.ca? I haven't got anything in since updating to 3.0x, while everything is normal in my Hotmail account.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] seto_613:
Paul, thanks for your hard working.

I wanna ask, will app2sd appear in your rom?

The sense ui is too large, internal memory is not so enough for other apps and cache of those apps.

I'd tried copy and link the /data/app to sdcard(vfat not ext2), the running of system and apps are smoother. (I'd installed 113 apps on my phone.)

As link to vfat of sdcard, i can't mount sdcard to pc or take it out because it will make the phone hanged.

If the app2sd function can be a option, i think it will be better.

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Donkey3000:
I find the browser in this version as a step backwards compared to the 2.2.7 version of this rom. The "retrieving sign in details" is annoying and I don't like that you have to use a default page (haven't figured out a good way to use a blank page yet besides http:/// which still gives that sign in notice). Any chance of getting that browser version back, or would it not work well (or at all) with the htc bookmarks widget?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
So far he's what you can expect from 3.0.4:

- tunneling support has been added

- wifi tethering is fixed

- a fix for the slow downs is coming, plus more battery life (hopefully, not tested yet)

- hopefully you will be able to update without wiping
