Just updated to 2.10 and I've gotta say the.difference in speed is less.than expected. I guess bfs is mostly placebo. Good call on rolling back to the older kernel.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lifeflayer:
I think you can either download the nandroid backup for rogers or just flash whatever you want through the recovery. Please read the wiki, and to by pass the screen you are.stick on, you can press the skip button.

Now when camera is fixed i wold like to be able to send mms. I have the same APN's as when using the 2.0.3 but now the mms refuse to work.

Anyone have an idee how to fix this problem?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Ok, I will do some testing and see what I can do.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
You can enter these settings in the My Touch ROM:

Or you can enter fastboot mode, load Amon_RA's recovery and then boot any ROM you want. Just make sure it's a 32A ROM.

PS-remember to wipe when you are switching between ROM's
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mjd355:
Yes, you need root in order to change the ROM.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Well this ROM is based on the original Rogers ROM, and all of the differences are explained in the change log.

Got ya....but do I have to do anything to my current, NON-rooted HTC Magic (unlocked from Rogers) prior to installing? If not - then how do I update to this ROM? (Sorry...experienced Mobile device user here, but a complete Android NEWBIE!!)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Sorry, my mistake. I thought that you can root a phone with a rooted ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Here are the steps that I would follow:

1) follow the instructions provided by Amon_RA to root your phone: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530527

2) copy the hofo104.zip rom to your SD card and rename it to update.zip

3) enter fastboot mode, and then fastboot the recovery image that you just used to root your phone

4) apply update

5) reboot (start-up should take a few minutes)

Let me know if you run into any problems.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] adamzeit:
WHOO HOOO!!!! SUCCESS!!! Rooted...and now using HoFo ROM 1.04....thanks!!!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mjd355:
Hey, a question for all,

On the thread "RAv1.1.1 : Modded ION recovery!" there are instructions for permanently flashing the recovery image to the phone.

What is the advantage of this? Just so you don't have to use the fastboot utility?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] JStar1033:
thx hot weiss, tried flashing it without wiping my data, didnt work. But thx for this rom, after using the Hero rom, this rom is so freakin fast.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vladkor:
Hi hotweiss,

Not sure if I am overlooking something, or if I loaded the rom incorrectly, but here's the thing.

When going in to change the wallpaper -> wallpaper gallery, it only shows one wallpaper (a white/silver with a dark spot on the left). I changed it to that, and now do not know how to change to the default one.

Other bug that I found - in the camera app, if taking a photo in portrait mode and then trying to discard the photo - this causes the confirmation window to come up in landscape mode even though you are still holding the phone in portrait mode.

One last thing - is there any way for me to load the ION keyboard, especially the landscape one. I prefer it because it has the [send] button to the right of the text field unlike the Rogers ROM which has just the text field and requires you to close it down in order to be able to get to the send button.

Thanks for the awesome rom!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I've erased the wallpapers intentionally because they were boring and they used up memory. You can still use any wallpaper you want - you just have to add it yourself.

The camera bug must be an HTC bug, as I have not touched the camera application. That was the whole idea behind this ROM, to keep it stable by not messing with the main OS.

As far as the ion keyboard is concerned, you can just follow these instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4085918&postcount=373
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Hmmm, I removed the data wipe from the script. I will have to check this bug out later...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MontAlbert:
you can always use mybackup and backup for root users- myackup for apps and some settings and backup for root users for everything else....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vladkor:
Thanks very much for pointing me to the keyboard instructions! Much appreciated.

As for the camera bug - if someone still has the standard unrooted Rogers ROM, can you try taking a picture and discarding it in portrait mode to see if the confirmation window comes up properly or if it comes up in landscape mode. (Honestly, I'm a little too lazy to try to load the non-rooted ROM, and go through the whole process all over agian.)

As for the wallpapers - is it possible for you to put the default Hero wallpaper into the wallpaper gallery instead of the silver-ish one? (Nitpicky, I know.)

But thanks again for all of your hard work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tribalmunky:
So tethering is a no-go on this ROM? The question was asked before but no one has answered if it does or not.

Thanks a lot hotweiss,

just a suggestion that im not sure would be possible or not but i hear that the ion rom doesn't seem to have the sms bug when we(rogers users) run it... maybe if there is a way to find out the fix from the ion and added it here would be great =D

HELP

First of all thanks to everybody who replied to my earlier plight for help.

But like i said in the earlier post i am NEW to this flashing ROMS and what not.

So Can i please get a little more detail about what i need to do and especially WHERE i can find all the things that are required.

I should add a little more detail...I have a Rogers HTC Magic, but my cellphone provider is fido, and i DO NOT have a data plan...

I ended up flashing a MY TOUCH 3G T-Mobile ROM onto my phone using a sappimg.nbh.

I tried skipping the google sign in part but i cannot... i HAVE to enter my google account info but the phone is unable to connect to the google servers possibly due to my lack of data plan and having a fido sim card.

I tried adding the APN info provided but it was still unsuccesful.

So to cap this off... i would greatly appreciate it if i could get a more detailed reply as to what steps i need to take to get my phone working again.

Thanks in advance
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ninjamoose:
It is definitely NOT because of your Fido SIM card. I am using the Rogers Magic on Fido as well without issues.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Here are the Fido network settings:

To change ROM's, download Amon_RA's recovery ROM:

http://rapidshare.com/files/270340566/recovery-RAv1.2.1H.img

Then enter this command to use it:

Wipe if you are changing ROM's.

no market enabler

somewhere along the line of my ROM updates, I've lost the ability to fake a provider with the Market Enabler. Has anyone else noticed this? I'm using HoFo 1.09. No matter what service provider I use, the Enabler opens the progress dialog for faking the provider but never budges off 0% progress.

Currently I'm in Brazil, but am not sure that has anything to do with it. OTOH, I believe the last time I had any luck with the Enabler, I was in Calgary.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Try updating to the 2.1.0 version.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ma678:
It seems battery drains a little bit faster after updating ROM 2.10, and I cannot use HTC sync any more.

Thank you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
The battery drains a little faster in comparison to what? Keep in mind that the HoFo ROM is clocked at 528 MHz, a lot higher than the stock ROM. HTC sync was taken out a long time ago...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ma678:
Now I see.

How will I be able to enable HTC Sync then?

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] aziz831:
Thank you, Ninjamoose and hotweiss, for your help.

Well it turns out i got my HTC to load up the home screen.

So currently it is a working MY Touch 3G from T-Mobile.

I want a HTC from Rogers ROM that is rooted to be flashed onto my phone.

I wish to use this ROM "The Officicial HoFo Community ROM" from this link "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534464".Tell me if that would be wise?...

So from what i read i need to wipe before installing a ROM can someone please tell me how to wipe.

And if possible can someone please recommend a ROM for me that is for ROGERS.

I wish to use the one click method to root my HTC, which makes everything simpler.

Thanks in advance.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Well once your root your phone, you don't have to do it again. Just copy the ROM that you want to use on your microSD card and follow the instructions that I gave you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bruor:
does the rom run a lot slower when set to 384 like it was in 2.0.1? was the battery life noticeably longer at 384 than 528?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
No it does not. Basically, the only thing that is speed up is the Browser. As almost everything else is limited by the memory bandwidth. I set it to 384 once, and the general consensus here was that people wanted to keep it at 528. Mind you, I do see a noticeable difference between 384 and 528.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
To get HTC sync back, push this file:

http://www.4shared.com/file/134188443/7daa1b4a/PCSCII.html

...by typing these commands:

adb remount

adb push PCSII.apk /system/app

Finally, reboot. (you might not even need to reboot)

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] frankinmerth:
I haven't noticed any general instability, I did however note that the game 'armadillo roll' seems to have gone completely haywire, perhaps indicating an openGL support problem in 2.1.0?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ma678:
Mail is forced close very often these days.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:

PS-I didn't even know that the Magic is capable of such graphics.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
What version are you using?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mstolpner:
I use HTC mail and works just fine. However many apps force-closed from time to time on 2.1.0 for me. Yellowpages is still a problem.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ma678:
Your latest Hofo 2.10. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I don't know what to say or do, as everything works fine for me.

I've successfully compiled cyanogen's kernel, and now I'm awaiting for a solution to the camera force close problem. I've written cyanogen, and as soon as I get a fix we'll have a kernel with BFS. Maybe the new kernel will add some stability.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mstolpner:
All applicatons worked fine with 2.0.9. It seems to me that crashes are somehow related to GPS but I have no facts to support it. I will wait for the next version. :) But the ROM is not bad at all! I use it all the time and I like it very much! Most of the apps work just fine. Thank you!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
That could very well be the cause, as I don't have my GPS enabled. I will now test it out with the GPS on.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bademasta:
coming in from cyanogen mod i really miss one feature: The "Reboot Phone" option when long pressing the Power-Off-Button.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Daneshm90:
Oh k, also how come i dont see any of those always allow/allow popups tht occur when ur tryin to access root ??? Prob is my app "Clear Me" is not workin on magics...im tryin to figure out why n my first step in diagnostics is the root capabilities of magic roms.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
You don't see them because there is no SuperUser.apk installed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Daneshm90:
Oh k, then honestly i give up. Cuz i dont know wht cud b tht diff in g1 compared to magic tht the app wudnt work. Lol sorry for askin on ur thread. Ill stop now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mstolpner:
Probably more problems for me with this rom (or may be I just found them only now):

-yellowpages is still a problem. it works fine if gps is off in the settings.

-turn on location by wireless network and by gps in the settings menu. restart the phone. check the settings - both options are still checked. wait till the phone tries to locate via gps (unsuccessfuly as I am in a building). check the settings - options unchecked.

- solitaire by ZenTech cannot keep its settings after restarts.

- wifi seem to get unchecked in the settings by itself. may be during phone reboot.

I tried wiping data and it did not help. I am wondering if all that happens to me only.

I also just noticed that wipe out did not wipe out everything as at least one program kept my credentials somehow.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I don't mind you asking questions. The SuperUser app is the one that takes care of the "pop-up's", it doesn't add SuperUser functionality - it's already there in the ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Daneshm90:
Thats very kind of u. So ne idea why the app doesnt work on magics where as it works flawlessly on g1's even those tht have donut on them ?.
