Camera Fix

Is there Camera fix or solution for the most recent fatality rom. Does any one else have this issue? Helpp!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Leviathon:
Sorry to butt in on the thread, just curious - I never updated the radio, as the guide I followed didn't mention it, instead just going to 1.33.2005 SPL. Everything seems to work fine for the last week or so, am I likely to have problems at some point if I don't update the radio?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Cheesebaron:
Depends on which version you have?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WebghostDK:
Great job on the 1.4 version.

Its still slow on my vodafone Magic, but not as slow as 1.3.

I went back to the stock ROM (using nandroid) because it was too slow to use for daily use.

Awaiting new fast version :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shingers5:
na you don't. i got a vodafone magic and did not haqve to update spl or radio. all you need to do is root the phone and off you go. check the wiki for tutorial on how to do that. Rav1.1.1G.img seems to be the safest recovery image to use for the voda 32b board to use and link in thread. once you root phone you can flash the rom. radio is fine and so is spl. no need to flash these.

Small Performance trick

Installed 1.4 on my Uk vodafone magic. Turned off Rosie Sense interface, Turned off access to Mobile data internet. In this configuration the user interface ran as smooth as the original Vodafone rom. I 'm guessing this removes the lags as widgets and applications that depend on a data network connection go into sleep mode when access to mobile data network is switched off?

When I want access to the Web, I simply turn back on the Mobile Internet Acesss.

Settings --> Wireless Controls --> Mobile network
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] PremierITA:
Which is last hero rom for HTC Tim (290mb ram) ??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
This might defeat the purpose by using yet another widget...but if you go to HTC Widgets --> Settings --> Mobile Network that would give you a quicker way to turn the network connection on/off.

Is rom 1.4 by Fatal1ty for PVT 32A (HTC Branded) phone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WebghostDK:
PremierITA - Dunno, but it works on my Google branded phone
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Cheesebaron:
I installed the 1.4 and I must say everything looks nice and so on, but even with the TouchFLO disabled I find it very slow compared to some other ROMs, though I must say nice work!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
The PVT32A work better with the builds that have been made for the Rogers handsets (also 32A). You can find them here:

second that mate as it looks relly great but so slow. i love it that much i am using despite lag and other issues. hopefully new release will deal with speed etc. amazing work:cool:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Kurgann:
love the 1.4, hate the lag and such :(

gonna flash back and wait for the next version (or an actual HTC Hero :))

great work though!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zelrikriando:
The 3G network is not working anymore since I installed it. :(

Is that a bug?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Cheesebaron:
Check and see if you have the correct APN settings.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lezperez:
I noticed that it would suffer severe lag when the data connection symbol was showing activity. I think due to the limited amount of ram, multi-tasking is out of the question! I like getting my emails as and when so for me ive gone back to stock until the bugs are ironed out. I do miss rosie tho...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shingers5:
hey kow you finding the 2.2 europe rom? is it better than the Ion r4 rom? any screenshots? want to flash it but it needs to look good!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Using the 2.2 Rom now for a day I find it VERY nice. Haven't had any problems so far. About as fast as the R4 Rom. No multitouch though.

But the increase in speed (and the speed stays high, unlike some other Rom's) is enough for me to wait just a bit more for a faster Rom with Hero-stuff in it. It boots in French though, so you have to change the language after booting.

name caller display

hello everyone here in canada we dod have the name caller display but on htc magic it s not working .in the past i had the htc tytin wasen t supported as well too we did add a cab in a cooked rom and worked anyone could add this option in the cooked rom .thanks in advance.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] k4r1m:
Not sure if this has been reported or not or maybe its just on rogers or not... but for some reason the name display doesn't when someone is calling you. for example if my friend ex "john" is calling me who is my contacts list it will not show his name but it will show his number and then after i hang up it will ask me to save his number... but then i look at the phone log i don't see the number but i see "john".... pretty sure this just started in 1.4.

thanks,
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] irv777:
Does anyone know how to bring back the 'google' contact type option under contacts when creating new contacts?.....Eversince i upgraded to the Hero rom I cannot save new contacts on my android phone under 'google' contact type anymore.....the only option is either save under 'sim' or 'phone' in contact type....can anyone help?.....thanks in advance. I'm currently using the rogers 1.3 version.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] samolevski:
Well done, mate! It's working! It's slow, but it's working and it's great. I'll keep it for now and wait for speed up. Good jop!

Thanks to the Cheesebaron also!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] brumle80:
haven't checked with logcat, but I presume I have the same problem....

I can install nk2 ion full no problem and it works great.

But when trying the Hero rom it always gives a successful rom install, but when I reboot it it boots up and goes as far as the HTC logo and the lock screen everything else is gone....

I can even start most programs with the voice dialer....

also get "no service" message and can't dial out...

This is a Nordic Magic PVT32A (HTC branded) and I used the Roger's rom by skittle... tried both 1.3 and 1.4, same with both...

SPL is 2005 with recovery flashed in.

afaik this should be working, but tried downloading the ROM several times, even from different locations and fails no matter what....

will post logcat as soon as I can bother flashing it in again to test....

any ideas?

this is from a quick test of latest myhero rom, same problem, but to be sure I will test with 1.4 soon.

here's link to logcat posted on pastebay:

http://dano5.pastebay.com/28982

only fault I can see is that it won't detect/open my sim for some reason :(

How can I do to uninstall preexisting apps?

For example, if I would remove twitter app, It is enough to type

./adb uninstall HtcTwitter

or not?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bpmorris:
Hi All,

Just thought I would give an update on my experience with the 1.4 ROM so far (2 weeks). Initially it was slow but over time the lag increased dramticly to the point where it took over 60 seconds to get the Rosie screen to appear after closing an application. Falling back to the google 'home' screen was much faster but still had lag. After reading many posts I come across a few mentioning 1.2 was much better. Over the weekend I flashed 1.2 and I have to say that it is much faster, it still has lag but the Rosie interface is semi useable. Hopefully this feedback might help for the next release...

Cheers

Ben

PS - I have a Australian Vodafone G2 32B.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] seraph1024:
Ben,

I've tried 1.4, 1.2, and all version of the HTC Hero Black ROM (another thread). I realized something today. I think you may be doing the same thing. On the Fatal1ty HERO image, the first thing it ask for at boot time is to give you permission to a script. That script enables the system to write the swap space on the SD card. I was putting the swap on a class 2 SDHC card. It was bad. Really bad. Then I put the swap on a class 4 card. There was a noticiable preformance increase. I am going to get class 6 card tomorrow. I'll report back. I think with a good class 6 card. it should be back to usable settings.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bpmorris:
Performance..

Hi seraph1024,

That has already occured to me but in my research it is indicated that the card that comes with the phone is a class 6 already... are you sure this is not the case? if not and a new class 6 card speeds things up then I will go out and get one immediatly! lol

Cheers

Ben
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
Certainly in the UK my voda Magic didn't come with a class 6 card - I would honestly be surprised to be supplied anything but a class 2 with any device...

Usually the class is printed on the card - look for a small 2, 4 or 6 in a circle on the front.

I went a bought a class 6 card, and the lag is still there - better but still gets worse over time.

Currently on a stock ION rom for speed, with a few modifications and I've forgot all about Hero and Rosie - I realised that usability and stability were more important for me personally.

Roll on August and Donut!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] froesei:
From everything I've read so far, it seems like those with the 32B devices simply don't have the resources to properly run the hero Rom. I have a Rogers magic, and each of the hero roms have been more than useable for me, they're actually quite fast, and are almost as smooth and quick as in the hero promo videos. But maybe eventually someone can mod the Rom so its not as resource hungry...a lite version if you will.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Sure there might be an improvement in speed, but alas, even with a Class 6 card the phone crawls to a halt. Don't bother buying a Class 6 card solely for this purpose, it won't do any good.

Using a swapfile on the Hero Rom will not improve things, it will only slow it down (much more after some usage).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ptekelly:
My phone came with a class 2. I too think it is VERY unlikely it will ever be a class 6 unless you have specifically asked for one.

Paul
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shingers5:
agreed. i have a 8 gig class 6 sandisk card and it still grinds to a halt. good suggestion but alas doesn't make a difference
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
My (Vodafone) phone came with an 8GB Transcend Class 6 card. Specifically browsed to the Transcend website to check it, as I was amazed as well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] juzars:
fatal1ty, what about a new realese of your ROM?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mysticon:
Love this rom, but its one thing that bugging me.

When i add a picture to a contact and that person is calling me the picture quality get REALY crappy. its so blurry that its almost no point to have a picture. The picture it self is clear and good quality. anyone know if this is a "bug" ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pippocannelunghe:
For me it works good...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paranoidpenguin:
I really like this rom. Thank you Fatal1ty!!! So much better than the original one.

After disabled the TouchFlo everything is fine and fast.

Does anyone have tested the Alarmclock?

Mine doesn't make any noise.

In the menu there are all the wonderful alarmtones but I can't get them started.

I don't know if I've done something wrong or if it never worked.

I flashed the phone a few times so I can't remember if I checked this in this rom.

Have someone a clue how to fix this?

Beside that really great work. I like this combination between the original google one and the one from the hero
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxqc:
Same for me... Anyone found a way to get it to work ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
I use the alarm clock that I access from the HTC Clock widget. It works perfectly well. The difference I see is that I am running TouchFlo (obviously). Maybe the HTC Clock Widget overrides the regular alarm?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dt_bogor:
I hadn't used the alarm function until i read your message, then I set an alarm and it also didn't sound, although it vibrated.

Then looked at the volume settings and saw that the volume for alarm was set at '0' , adjusted that and then reset the alarm. All is working OK.

Using Rom 1.4

hope this helps you

v1.4

What a great rom! I've seen some posts about bugs and such in earlier versions, but I think this version is great. I can't get 3g and bluetooth to work at the same time, but that's a minor gripe considering that the phone now works as it should.

Thanks for the great contribution, fatal1ty.

Caid.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paranoidpenguin:
I really think this could be the solution, because my phone is on vibrate mode.

But please: where is this volumesetting?

I can't find it neither in the settingsmenu nor in the alarmmenu.

Edit:I found it. Never realized that i can adjust the volume in the menu directly over the volumebutton.....

Thank you. Everyday I learn something new about my new phone.

Also any fix for the sms timestamp issue??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Johnny5Walker:
apparently the mms sms timestamp issue has been resolved in the ION rom and the hofo ROM. It would be fantastic if it could be added into this rom.

If you look here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire, you will see that the "Google" branded magics are the PVT32B boards with 192MB of RAM. Also, further down that page it lists the Google Ion as having the 32B board. It has 192MB of RAM, not 288, sorry!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
I assume you are using the Magic with the 32B board? like from Vodafone? These have less RAM and seem to be struggling with the Hero ROM. It has been suggested that disabling the HTC Sense UI will help. There are instructions on the first page.

Hello guys,

I realise this is probably really obvious but if how to I get this 'taster' to work, I mean how to I go about installing it?

I have downloaded the file and extracted it to my computer. Then I moved it to my Magic's SC card where it's now waiting?

I don't fancy flashing my phones ROM at the minute but it would be nice to get a taster as it says you can do here.

Any pointers appreciated.

Which software do you use?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
Ok. You need the SDK to be able to flash ROMs, root the phone, etc.

Go here and download the sdk for your platform.

Then, once downloaded, go here and follow the instructions:

That should get you all setup, the instructions are pretty good.

Once you get that set up, let us know.

album application

I noticed with the google cupcake rom that the "Gallery" application creates thumbnails for images and videos on your sd card. Thus allowing for fast browsing through your image/video collection.

But for the Hero 1.4 rom that I've installed on my magic Uk vodafone 32B this doesn't appear to be the case.

The equivalent "Album" application doesn't appear to create any thumbnails thus each time the Album application starts it has to look at each original photo/video and create the necessary gallery image on the fly.

Thus browsing my collection can be painfully slow (I have over 50+ photos and videos on my sd card). This is already on top of the other laggy user interface issues already aired in this forum.

can anybody correct me on this?

I'm seriously thinking of selling my magic and using the monies to purchase a "real hero" as I'am doubting whether the porting of a stable/fast HERO rom onto a magic 32B can ever be achieved :-(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Due to the incredibly low amount of free memory of the Magic the realistic answer is simply "no". Alas :(

Ofcourse some improvements will be had, but it will never be possible to open "large" apps without having the delay when you switch back to the Home screen, the UI will have to be reloaded again and again and again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] qluong21:
Agreed !

But not to entirely disappoint all those vodafone 32B owners .... they can wait for Googles upgrade to Cupcake 1.5 ... the Donut 2.0 hopefully released later on this year.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
Donut must be quite soon now, any word from anyone whos managed to build from the source branch?

Then we have eclair, and flan, all targeting the 192mb devices so it's not all bad news!

And in all honesty, you can easily replicate most of the 'Rosie' functionality with existing widgets, if only we could get the browser ported
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Roy_Drage:
Yep got all that mate. All set-up now, What next, how do I push the HERO look across on to my home screen?
