I couldn't get ADB to connect either with 2.01... but I figured out why :-)

For those who already had android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2 installed,

you have to update to android-sdk-windows-1.5_r3 for ADB to work

again with HOFO 2.01

--- but ---

the reason some are having trouble connecting with ADB after updating the

SDK, is that the driver you are using is still the "r2" version.

You have to manually update it.

It's not the "Android Phone USB Device" driver listed under disk drives

in Device Manager. That one didn't change.

The one that DID change isn't even listed in Device manager, it's hidden.

There's two ways to update it (winXP):

*quick way* 1:

Open Device Manager, Unplug / replug your Android, and watch for a

"USB Mass Storage Device" to appear under "Universal Serial Bus

Controllers" (unplug the rest of your usb drives, then there's just the one

to pick from)

Right click that, select Update Driver, and point it at the new \Android

\USB_Driver directory from the r3 SDK. When you update that driver, it

causes the two hidden ADB drivers to pop up with a question mark, so

you can update those ones too, to the r3 versions.

Then ADB works again.

*OR * 2)

Write a batch file with these two lines:

set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1

start devmgmt.msc

Run that batch file, and it runs an optioned version of Device Manager.

under "VIEW" click "SHOW HIDDEN DEVICES" and now you can see the

ADB devices that require right clicking for driver updates from the r3 driver

directory. I've done the first method already - but I'd think you'd still

have to do the "USB Mass Storage Device" as well.

Note: The NEW drivers don't hide, so it will be easier to upgrade to the r4 drivers :-)

Does anyone else use a Bluetooth headset?

Everything worked perfect with HOFO 116 (other than the

normal PITA finger-verify the selection when voice dialing)

With HOFO 2.01, pushing the Call button on the headset doesn't bring

the voice screen up anymore unless you wake the phone up first.

I know, you have the finger the phone anyway to dial the number

even after saying the voice command...

but it would be nice to keep what little we have with the voice dial capabilities, lol. I'm waiting for the day when my phone just replies

"Dial Home?" after saying "Dial Home" - and I say "YES" - no

fingers at all, phone stays in the pocket.

Version 2.0.2

- updated to TigerTael's 2.6.29 kernel with multi-touch support

- updated to TigerTael's WLAN driver

- the max speed is 528 MHz again

- added OnDemand CPU scaling, I decided not to make the scaling to aggressive, so the performance will remain, but I don't know how much the battery life will be improved by

- replaced Browser with Loccy's BetterBrowser 1.4.1 (your bookmarks will be replaced), it would be a good idea to back-up and restore your bookmarks:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] RandyG6403:
Cool, 2.0.2 already loaded and played with, very nice :-) Thanks!

PS That's why I needed ADB working, to load my fav. browser on 2.0.1, lol, now it's built in :-) The multitouch zoom works great too :-)

The bluetooth voicedial issue remains though. It was working in HOFO116, you could press the call button, and the voicedial screen would come up, even when the phone was sleeping. It quit doing that in 2.0.1. Now the voicedial screen is not visible - screen is blank during voicedial (no way to confirm the number), and you have to start over after waking the phone.

Is there a config change I can do to give the voicedial app rights to come up when the phone is sleeping, like before? Or is that something that has to be done when building?

T9 and prdiction in Danish etc

Hi

Thanks very much for a very, very well running ROM. It is by far the best working one, I have tried.

However, I am having trouble making input methods work well for Danish with T9 prediction etc with the various keyboards (qwerty, compact qwerty and phone keypad).

Are there straight solutions for that? Could anyone point me in a good direction for at solution?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I don't have a problem with voice dial. Does anyone else have this problem?

PS-maybe a good old wipe might fix things...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
Thanks for the update hotweiss!

I'll check on voice dial issue stated above. Will report in a bit.

Can you port the camera app from hero which has the touch focusing?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Hellberg:
I've been using 1.1.4 for a while and it worked almost perfectly, but sometimes all processes on the phone seemed to crash (force close on system and almost all other apps).

Today I updated to 2.0.2 and then to 2.0.3, wiped my phone both times just to be safe. And the phone seems very stable now, but I have another issue, with android market. It seems impossible to download protected apps now (many paid apps and some free ones). Every attempt to download a protected app gives a "download unsuccessful"-notifcation. Unprotected apps download just fine. Some examples of protected apps I tried to download are; Mybackup Pro (paid), Bloo (paid), A Online Radio (free), eBuddy IM (free).

My guess is that something the latest Rogers update is causing this problem. Anyone else having the same problem?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dancerobot:
2.0.3

Just installed HoFo 2.0.3. Looks great, the browser and multi-touch are slick. It does feel a bit snappier too.

Thanks a lot for the great work!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
I don't seem to have any issues seeing, downloading or seeing the apps above using 2.0.3. I didn't change any setting in Market Enabler as suggested in the original post.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Hellberg:
Oh, I guess it has to be a problem with my phone or network operator then. Doesn't really matter which setting i try in Market Enabler, and since even free protected apps are affected by this, I don't think Market Enabler has anything to do with the problem at all. I guess i'll just revert to an older version or try another rom to solve the problem, since I'm out of ideas how to solve this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bouyark:
+1. Please amend the title. I like what I am reading about this ROM. Just wish it could be installed on the MyTouch 3G.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] RandyG6403:
OK, I did a full wipe and reinstalled. It is the same.

So you can press the red button (turn off the screen) , press the call button on your headset, and the voicedial screen pops up? Without waking up / unlocking the screen?

That used to work for me in HOFO116 (and the original Rogers firmware). Hmmm.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] origins81:
Hey Paul do you have a plain jane vanilla version of 2.0.3 wih your mods? Really like the rom but not really into the hero-esque icons and dialer. it's cool either way... proly must be the only one here asking for that

cheers
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I have used the stock icons, no cosmetic changes have been applied.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
If that's the case, I'm afraid that it might be something to do with the kernel. I'll look into the issue.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] at314:
2.0.3 rom is good, adb is working. multitouch is fantastic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] radikaled:
As usual great ROM. Unfortunately I can't download pay-for applications. Whenever I try to buy an application I get the following message:

"There was a problem processing your request. Please visit checkout.google.com to fix it."

At which point I visit checkout.google.com and don't see anything. Not even an indication that my transaction failed. I can see pay-for apps listed in the Market and everything, I just keep getting this error when I try to purchase any of them. Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Rede83:
I'm having the same problem with some apps, like Twidgit Lite. With HoFo 2.0.1 I couldnt find it in the Market. With HoFo 2.0.3 I can find it but get the "download unsuccessful" notification when trying to install.

I tried entering T-Mobile properties in MarketEnabler but that didnt help. That didn't fix it, and I'm also not able to see paid apps regardless of what is entered in MarketEnabler.

Multi-touch is nice though!

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hondaguy:
I was pretty happy with the battery life and performance of version 1.16. Does your latest Rom have better battery life with the same level of performance vs my current Rom?

Thanks again for sharing your Rom
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] origins81:
You work fast, I just flashed 2.0.3 some hours ago...did you sleep lol? From your changelog only change is the cpu scaling. Do I need to flash 2.0.4 or I could just use setCPU?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xxgg:

Is anyone else having these issues with the newer versions ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Try 2.04. Did you wipe before coming to this ROM?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] laushing1989:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] svennipp:
I didnt do wipe as I upgrading from recently wiped and installed 2.0.1 and I understood that it wasn't needed to do wipe?

I will try 2.0.4 and report back - because 2.0.2 probably doesn't have any user base, as the updates came out so fast :) Good Job!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
OK... Hopefully TigerTeal's kernel does the trick for you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] duoshock:

Thanks for doing this grate work. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Thanks to RandyG6403, we now know that TigerTael's kernel has a max speed of 528 MHz; or it defaults to this speed if you set a new min speed. So at present version 2.0.4 is actually running at this max speed. In version 2.0.5 I'll manually set the max speed... Mind you the battery life isn't that bad...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] RandyG6403:
I prefer 528 anyway :-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
yup, speed is great :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
528 MHz it is...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] edubarr:

Is 1.02 fix the issue of superuser?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:

In the mean time you can fix it by running the following commands:

I currently have the hero rom installed, is there any way i can flash this rom but keep all my data?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
You can try flashing 1.0.4 overtop your Hero ROM to see if it will work, but I think that you will have to wipe.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mjd355:
So you don't have to use Backup for Root Users anymore? It didn't work properly for me before I flashed 1.0.3 so I had to reinstall all my apps. No big deal, but a pain nonetheless.

Which version of MarketEnabler did you put in? I've been using the beta, and it has quite a bit more functionality that the current release. No stability problems either.

Is there any overclocking app that will allow you to vary the max cpu speed? I haven't noticed any real performance improvement going to 528 MHz, wanted to play with it a bit.

Anyways, great work - your ROM is exactly what I was looking for. Dead stable on the Rogers magic, minus all the Rogers limitations. Fabulous.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Yes, the updates don't wipe the data anymore. The MarketEnabler version is 3.0 beta. You can try SetCPU: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505419

And maybe my question is equally newbie, but can I put this rom on my Vodafone HTC Magic Netherlands (rooted)

Or is it specifically for Rogers??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jfive74:
This is the original ROM. Just removed rogers branding apps, installed root, su, voice search, market enabler. Works quite well, try it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] adamzeit:
Again - sorry for the silly question....but do you have to ROOT your phone BEFORE installing this one? I'm stuck on the rooting issue - and can't seem to get it done right - which is why I ask.

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
This ROM is already rooted.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I think it will need some modification to work with the Vodafone Magic. As far as I know the Vodafone Magic's have a different motherboard - 32b. So you will need a custom boot.img and you will most likely have to push wlan.ko.

How's everyone's battery life in 2.0.4? Mine seems to be draining faster after updating from 2.0.0.

I know having the max @ 528MHz is a trade-off but there did appear to be a better balance of performance and battery life in 2.0.0 (aka hofo116).

Its a catch 22 for Paul I suppose. I really appreciate the zippiness of this ROM @ 528 but my phone just does not seem to be lasting the day it used to before.

I'll try to micro manage apps a little better to see if that helps any.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I find that my battery life is great as long as I don't use some 3rd party apps. Sometimes I can get two days of heavy usage, and some days I just get over a day with the same amount of usage. The problem seems to lye in some 3rd party apps. I've noticed that some times I put my phone in my pocket with 90% of the battery life left, and then why I pull out my phone in a hour there's only 40% battery of the battery life left.

PS-I don't know which apps cause these problems, it even might be an Android OS bug...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] RandyG6403:
Turn off "background data" and "always on mobile" , those suck on your battery while it's in your pocket for no good reason at all, chattering away.

Wifi sucks a lot of juice too, I find, even if you're not using it.

If you want to clock down, easy, install this:

It's compatible with the HOFO2.0.4 version of "on demand" cpu.

It's free for xda members, you can set the min / max CPU to whatever you want. Going under 128 is not recommended though, ichijin.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
I was able to install Pandora just now after restoring a nandroid backup of this ROM (2.0.4). Not sure if that had anything to do with it though.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bruor:
Firstly THANK YOU for this rom, it's running very well on my device! Backing the CPU max off has increased batterly life significantly for me (1-2H). I use the phone with activesync to exchange at the office on wifi.

I have however, noticed that after a day or two of running, it really bogs down. I'm unsure if this is related to swap or a memory leak somewhere. the dialer app gets really unresponsive, contacts don't scroll as smoothly etc. A reboot fixes the issues though and everything runs nice and crisp again. Any chance the swapiness can be tweaked on my end to see if it makes things better? I'm also running dxtop and will test with the standard home app if no one else is seeing this issue.

I'm also wondering if apps2sd can be integrated into this image and if it might make the apps/system run faster at all? i'd be more than willing to get a class6 microsd card and run that way if there was a performance benefit.

The only annoyance that still exists is the "my calendar" entry that seems to come with the HTC bundle of apps/framework etc. Has anyone heard of being able to remove it or change the default to something else when creating a new appointment?

I went back to 1.16 and I encountered the protected app issue. Weird thing is that I didn't have this issue last week using the same ROM. I had tried the newer Roms and while I loved the performance I need the better battery life of 1.16. My device crashed and reset a few times today using 1.16 and it had never done that before. I wiped it and re installed the Rom and hopefully that will clear it up
