What a lot of progress in a couple of days.

I had to remove 1.2 as device was sooo slow after a while, and went back to stock rom while i was away.

back now, on 1.3 with class 6 sd, and... well its a whole lot better, but even better without touchflo!

Great work, probably going to see how this goes for a day or two,

Fatal1ty, amazing job with this - how'd the exam go? Any more updates coming?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hughyb:
is there an issue with flash player on websites? it seems pretty flakey.

I have gone back to 1.2 without touchflo, i have found 1.3 to be too laggy when it came to writing text for sms etc. but is the general consensus that 1.3 runs better if you give it more time?

also when importing contacts fom the sim card it starts to but get halfway through a crashes.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ExTREmE99:
Okay im going to ask again, Has anyone noticed a decrease in cell phone signal/service when you switched to the hero rom? Because this phone gets real crappy reception now. Compared to 2-3 other phones. Im getting constant -109-101db compared to other phones with -90db..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
I think the signal does seem worse with this ROM, maybe due to the radio update it originally contained that had to be removed?

Can anyone upload the browser.apk/odex files so I can see if they work on the stock Google ION rom?

The best thing in Hero imho is the multitouch browser :)

Perhaps we should look at rolling some of the improvements back into a stable fast ROM, like the Google ION?

I have an untouched image for the ION CRB28 + recovery that allows OTA updates, Plus a rooted boot.img for it, working great at present, and have setcpu to max 528 and I love it :) stable, official root system mmmmm
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fatal1ty2787:
You won't do anything with browser.apk of Hero, cause it has a lot of dependences, and by the time you start porting dependeces ecc, it will be slower than the hero one...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
Okay. Never mind.

Any new version on way?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cbaltzer:
Any chance of getting the native IM client enabled/installed in upcoming builds?

Info on it here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=519980 there's a zip with the files a few posts down.

I tried to push it on my own but I got "No space left on device". I'm using v1.2, so I'm going to flash to 1.3 now and see if I can install it there.

Edit: Hmm, I guess I didn't read very well. I guess it won't work on HTC builds. The last post might be of interest though, for anyone who has the technical ability to pull the files from the rom mentioned.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skittleguy:
Well, that and a need for unlimited sms.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] k4r1m:
Someone in that IM thread says something about some custome rogers rom having the IM app... maybe lol ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cbaltzer:
I just downloaded that custom rom (here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=527201 ) and pulled the files in question from it, then pushed them to 1.3, but I still get a force close. :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] k4r1m:
Well since now we know its possible its just a matter of time for some one to do it *cough skittleguy cough* hahahah j/k but yeah someone will do it, i would do it but im inexpericned and im too lazy to install any linux distro on my pc :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skittleguy:
I pulled all the files and are cooking them into a rom now. I will post my results.

Edit: "The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Looks like a no-go.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cbaltzer:
Also, I feel like I should note for users who (like me) have been getting the wrong time from the network, doing an adb shell reboot seems to correct that. Not sure if just restarting the phone works or not, but I never noticed it doing so before.

Edit: nevermind, after a few minutes it resets back to the wrong time.

Re-add HotSync

I've installed the Rogers 1.3 Hero Rom (Thanks a bunch Fatal1ty, skittleguy and hotweiss) and it works great.

I noticed you took out Hotsync in 1.2 and I'm looking to re-add it. I've tried getting the PCSCII.apk from 1.2 and doing an adb push but it gives me the following error: install_failed_dexopt. I'm guessing it's cause it's supposed to be install and it's not a proper install file.

Can someone point out I can get hotsync back on? I'd like to get my outlook contacts synced in again! Don't have exchange account.

Thanks a bunch.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KuRunnings:
Oh nevermind I got it after reading another thread.

Did

adb shell cp sdcard/PCSCII.apk system/app/ and also the odex file though not sure it was necessary.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] t-jet:
so the wifi is not working with the 1.3 rogers ROM? can anyone confirm that? i was just about to flash this ROM...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KuRunnings:
Works for me. D-Link DIR-628 router.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rgbc:
wifi is working perfectly on the v1.3 that hotweiss posted on hofo: http://www.howardforums.com/showpost.php?p=12780099&postcount=136
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] t-jet:
ok thanks, gonna try it out now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MadBeaverDK:
Tried another Wifi network today, no problems.

Messed around with the settings and found an option called regulatory domain, in which to set the number of channels to use. Default setting was 11, after increasing to 13 home Wifi is fine. Found out later that my router is using channel 13, so that makes sense.

Haven't tried my friends network,but a mate of mine is running the same ROM on his Magic without any wifi-trouble.

So I think it's safe to say that Wifi is working.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pippocannelunghe:
Hi all,

sorry for the little off topic, I'm going to root my magic (vodafone) and i would like to know if it is needed to install the SPL of haykuro in order to install this rom.

Thanks in advance!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I don't think so... If you do have to, you'll get an error. Install it if you get an error.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pippocannelunghe:
Well, I can start to root my phone!

But just a question, for what is needed to use this SPL?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ExTREmE99:
I shall wait until all the bugs are fixed etc.. :p

But whats the procedure to flash this rom? Root first, im guessing too..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] unplug:
someone please help with this
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
check your PM
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Has anyone gotten Swapper to work with this ROM... I just get a perpetual "Please wait..."
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] unplug:
sent u back a message.

my issue what how do i preform the wipe and how do i upload new file?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DarknessTM:
Someone please fix the time stamp issue.

It makes me want to go back to my old rom because of this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Hahaha, welcome to the world of Rogers users. The only fix is to install ChompSMS.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DarknessTM:
it wwas working pefectly fine on my rogers rom and hte ion rom that i had previously
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thuglife:
well i just deleted the HtcMusic.apk + the .odex pushed the HtcMusic.apk from HK`s hero rom same result not playing with the worldclock i get a white screen than a force close. anybody a solution?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I don't have a problem with the music player.

PS-Has anyone gotten Swapper to work?

Edit: nvwm, the second time around it worked
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DarknessTM:
I was talking about the time stamp issue with SMS
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thatwadedude:
i flashed this puppy onto my Ion, and it's definitely lookin' pretty sweet. it runs a bit sluggish, though, and the launcher often restarts after exiting an application.

does anyone have any tips on how to stabilize/tune the system image you're running?

could it help to run apps from SD, or remove any miscellaneous junk that comes bundled?

any input/advice is much appreciated.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cbaltzer:
I've noticed that calendar events match the network time, but if I get my time settings from the network, they seem to be an hour off.

That, the SMS timestamps, and the broken clock are the only things wrong for me. I haven't tried playing any music yet. Though, it seems to hang sometimes when going through ringtones/notifications/etc.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Install swapper and setcpu.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
I'm surprised by the snappiness of this ROM. It feels quicker than my stock ROM
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
For the clock, I deleted the default one and re-added another. It worked (for me).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Killadude:
could you please provide instructions..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DarknessTM:
Chompsms reminds me of the iphone which i dont want to lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bobdude5:
whats the difference between

this rom and the other one with zazy fix
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
Oh it wasn't by hacking :eek: I just deleted it off the desktop, then long press the screen to add the HTC widget clock again. That worked.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
It's just something that some ROM's need for installation.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pippocannelunghe:
So, now i'm root and I have my phone rooted without install Haykuro's SPL , what I have to do in order to install the 1.3 Hero by Fatality?

Thanks again for the help!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] technocat:
copy the downloaded rom to sdcard and rename to update.zip, boot into recovery mode and choose update from sdcard, that simple. This rom is no good though, runs klike a bag of **** lol, i had it on today and quickly took it off, too buggy (today screen vanished, change the wallpaper and all you get is basic colours the nice screen vanishes) and it runs soooooo slow, first time it crashed booting up it took that long, second time was nearly as long just doesnt run very well. I'd wait for improvements.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
Some people would beg to differ with your comments regarding this ROM. It runs great on my Rogers Magic. There are small bugs such as the time is slow to update and SMSs are timestamped 4hrs in the past.

I am running the full TouchFlo but that can easily be turned off and I'm sure the ROM would be much quicker.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pippocannelunghe:
I'm just tring, I don't know if I like it.

For now it's working :P
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] unplug:

1. The newest rom release url for rogers?

2. and does that rom have a wifi and alarm fix??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
Unix script for flashing ROM

I do not guarantee this tool by any means. I assume it is fine, otherwise I wouldnt release it, but who knows.

Based on kingchris's efforts on his Windows batch file I have tried to make a similar one for us using Unix. I wrote this for Ubuntu but I believe it should be the same for any Unix environment.

This script must be placed in the folder with the zip file you want to transfer. This folder is where the apps will be downloaded to. As of right now the only way I can get the apps to work is to manually reboot the phone after u have done a backup and flashed update.zip.

If anyone can improve this, PLEASE, feel free. I am by no means an expert but I would appreciate if some people would try it and give me their feed back.

The file is here:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9B7M2EGW

Oh, if this breaks your phone...its not my fault. Sorry!

Make sure it is executable.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
1. I think this is it - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4071968&postcount=679

2. The alarm and wifi works for me. The sms timestamps are messed up (-4 hours for me, very confusing) and the clock updates slowly. Other than that, decent!

Oh and the camera is a giant mess lol. You can only use it in one orientation...portrait is insane.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bobdude5:
it didnt work the wifi is still moving :/..oh and i have the vodaphone board but youre rom works so much faster on mine because the google ion has the same ram as the rogers version..i have to flash the boot from fatalitys version after i flash your rom..could that be why?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cbaltzer:
Does anyone else get an incorrect time, when updating from the network? Mine is an hour off, in the Atlantic zone.

When setting manually, it lists Atlantic as -4, and Eastern also as -4. Atlantic should be -3.

Anyone know about this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] technocat:
Well it runs terrible on vodafone uk handset, it took a full 5 mins to start up, its laggy as hell even with touchflo disabled.....honestly runs really bad on my handset I'll give it a miss until it speeds up :) my clock and everything on the today screen just disappeared by itself, couldnt get it back, the wallpaper if you change it only gives you basic colours, no way to get the nice screen back, the selection for work, play, htc etc does not work always stays on htc no matter what you select.

Dont know why it wasnt running well on mine I have the 290mb version handset....

just to add, I love the actual look of it and if it ran properly I'd be using it no bother at all :) still early doors though will wait until better fixes come out, but fatality doing a great job :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] babyhero:
Do you know which of these ROMs will work with the "IO Developer Conference" version which was given out for free to developers?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Yes, they should.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxisma:
One question as a Dream user:

The HTC Magic has 288 MB RAM, correct?

If yes, this is exactly what the Hero will have, too!

Is this ROM as fluent as in some videos on youtube?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fatal1ty2787:
Most of Magic devices are vodafone one, so they have 192 MB of RAM like G1...

but some Magic ( the HTC branded like tim, rogers ecc) have 288 MB like Hero, I heard some telling me that it runs quite fast, I never saw how fast is it..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] avimak:
Do you think we (vodafone magic) will have a full Hero ROM on our device?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fatal1ty2787:
Not by HTC for sure...

and I don't know how much more speed we can gain optimizing this rom, I hope that HTC will upgrade his ROM with some of their improvement, I hope they are more capable of us in doing this :P

Bluetooth

Hi,

Thank you for the great job, I have a problem with the bluetooth, I can connect to the bluetooth of my car but I can't hear or speak.

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] timmy1980:
@fatal1ty: thank you so much for creating the hero themed launcher.apk! This is perfect for me as your build 1.2 runs so well on my device without rosie. You are a true asset to this community.

Ps. How'd you do it?! I played with loads of different combos and nothing worked!

Thanks again man.

Hello all vodafone magic user, is the camera works smoothly on your phone?

My magic is from HK and is HTC branded, in 1.2 & 1.3 ver, the capturing screen of camera will always turn left 90 degrees if I hold it vertically. any idea?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
Thanks for the skinned launcher, using it on rooted stock ion rom with setcpu at 528 cache moved to sd and swapper.

Would still like to try and get the multi touch browser up and running, do you know for sure what dependencies it has?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] brianius:
Hi, I've bought the HTC Magic (Vf. branded) and it shows 295MB Memory (in Settings 221MB free)... So, do I have the "big" version??? SOLVED: Have 32B ;)

And what the hell is Swap (activated/deactivated)???

sry, but I am new to android, had a trinity before...

Want that this Hero Rom works well on my magic...

thx brianius
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zedex26:
not just vodafone...

Rogers phone here and it does the same... so what i do now is take picture ONLY in landscape...

i think it's a little glitch?

maybe get a fix in the near future
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bachviet:
No the 295MB is the ROM after boot (512MB total) not RAM. If you have a 32B board, your Magic only has 192MB of RAM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] onenew:
um... i push back the original camera.apk and the bug is fixed
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kalross:
Did you delete the htccampera.apk
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zzup:
How do you push back the original camera apk?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] josg21:
no signature

mine keeps saying no signature, then verification failed. Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skittleguy:
So I removed the HTCCamera.apk/odex and replaced it with the original Camera.apk (had to do it as a rom and update it since no other method seems to work), and it now reverts to the old camera (so no rotation between landscape and portrait) and the bug is indeed no longer there. Mind you it's not much of a fix as it's still the old camera.

For those of you who claim to have fixed the bug, is it the new camera interface that it's fixed in, or does it just revert to the old camera? The best way to tell is the presence/absence of the "switch modes" button. Please share with us so we can figure this out for future roms.

Thank you for the information
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pippocannelunghe:
So, we can't replace (by pushing) the new camera file with the old-camera?

However, now it is one day that I'm using Hero v1.3 on a Vodafone Magic, and after a little customization of the widgets, it works fine! Ok, maybe it is not as the TIM/Roger brothers, but it is finally usable!

Of course, I'm swapping on sdcard, and I leave the defaults rom's value.

My suggestion is to use (for example) only one location for weather widget, in fact by default it works for 5 places; then where it is possible, you can use the heavy widget (always like weather or music as well) in the last desktops of two sides and leave other desktops almost empty.

And for last, when it is starting, leave it in peace for a few, let it swap and then enjoy :)

I don't know if these informations could help someone... I hope for you!

@Fatality (and other devs too): Do you think that it should be possible to remove, or also just inactivate some other lazy/unneeded stuff as the startup sound/image?

I can't believe that that's all improovement that we all can do.

ps. I found that during recharge, the orange led doesn't work :P
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Gimpeh:
How's the battery life on this rom? I expect it to be lower since the CPU has been set at the highest. What's everyone's experiences?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Gianmarco:
Hi,

I saw on the G1 forum an apparently even more optimized version of Rosie. Does anyone know if this would work on the Magic? :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532822

It could maybe help gain some more free memory ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pippocannelunghe:
It use a lot of battery, but only if you are always, like me, playing with the phone :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Gimpeh:
So as bad as the G1 then? I use my phone quite a bit but my battery life is many times better even with my G1's 2600mah battery.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pippocannelunghe:
I don't know the g1, so I can't answer to your question, I'm sorry.

Poor GPS Reception

Has anyone noticed a decrease in the GPS reception? Google Maps seems to take a fairly long time to get an accurate location...it used to be very fast. Anyone else noticed?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] k4r1m:
Yeah i have noticed that only the first like 5 times i have launched maps but then after that it was back to normal mode or maybe even faster :D

My gps does reception does seem to be worse. but ill keep on trying, see if it does get faster like k4r1m says.

P.S. thanks to all those devs out there that made this possible(fatal1ty and skittleguy especially, but I know there many more to thank) , im super pumped about the hero rom. was waiting for htc tp2 but then i saw this and ran out and got a magic

Yeah I get a decreased reception, not sure about maps because I don't use it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
The reception seems a bit worse too. I am torn now between this ROM and the stock one. I love the Hero but reception and GPS is important...but so is flash and multitouch...ROUGH choice.

how do i check the ram on my magic?..i have the google ion and it has a 32B board and you guys are saying all the 32B boards have 128 mb of ram but online im reading 288 so i want to make sure thanks :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bachviet:
If you have a terminal emulator installed in your Ion, run this command: free. You should see your RAM at 98MB or so after boot. That means your Ion only has 192MB of RAM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bobdude5:
Can you make it so that when you hold menu the keyboard pops up?

I have found out that on my HTC Magic Vodafone runs the 1.3 version very slow, but the 1.2 is kind of smooth.

When im into all kinds of stuff and i press Home, it shows me the HTC logo and goes directly to "Loading" for like 20 seconds, please fix this this in further versions.

Other than that, everything is perfect! Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Who's 1.3 did you use? If you used the Rogers 1.3, it will run slower because of the fact that swapping is turned off.
