Great thanks mate

And just saw this:

You are fast :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pernik:
Hi Hotweiss,

After try to reinstall v.303, my bluetooth can run properly.

Now my problem is in GPS. When i run google map using GPS, i've gotten an information about "your location is temporarily unavailble". How to solve it ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darvo:
OK, is there any reason why /system is remounted rw at every reboot? I'm not 100% sure but I think it's usualy ro with other ROMs.

As well, I was wondering why SuperUser Whitelist app isn't included just like other rooted ROMs.

And there is no rwsystem and rosystem script for quick remounting of /system partition.

Other thing, I'm trying to copy some apk to /system/app from terminal and it says "cp: cannot remove '/system/app/some.apk': No such file or directory" which doesn't make sense to me. It doesn't work with Root Explorer neither.

Thanks for helping!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] awtryau89:
Paul,

I just realized that these new updates all required wipes between each one. I have not been doing this but I have not seen many issues, if any. Do you think I should wipe and start over at 3.0.3 just to be safe? Sort of concerned. Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
well yeah, A working no-wipe update is very much appreciated:D

THANKS....it's coming....OoOOO!.....

"a fix for the slow downs" is extremely tempting, I wonder what it will be, as this is a fully working ROM for 32A (that is, everything I need runs perfectly) just some of the slowdowns in (as compared to the fastest rom I tried maxisma 1.8 or mightmax 1.9.1):-

-sweeping through home screens (left/right)

-sweep through program menu (up/down)

-composing or typing (with HTC_CIME?) lags in "milliseconds:D" (with vibrate/haptic feedback on = essential)

this could be the greatest ROM for 32A, just another nag: is PinYin added into HTC_CIME in 3.0.4?:D

as always, thanks a zillion for ur hardwork!!!!:cool:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darvo:
About updates, could you provide small updates like MyHero so we don't have to download the whole ROM and to avoid reinstalling removed apps and ringtones? That would be great.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DrSpaceman:
Wait, we're supposed to have been wiping? I wiped before I installed 3.0.0, but then installed 3.0.1, 3.0.2, and 3.0.3 on top of each other and haven't had any problems. I thought we didn't have to wipe if we were just upgrading?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mstolpner:
Hotweiss, can I ask you why do you think that swap will degrade performance? Is it somehow related to Android memory management?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zortoflaven:
Anyone notice something strange with SMS notifications?

I get a new SMS and ever after viewing it, the notification stays. I have to manually clear it to get rid of it.

edit - Also, turning the shutter sound off has no effect. The sound still is played regardless of the setting.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] awtryau89:
I am getting this too. How do you manually clear it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hondaguy:
are you guys using chompsms, or something else to view sms? if so, there is a setting in the stock android message app that allows you to turn off the message received notification so that you can use the 3rd party apps notification only

also, are we supposed to be wiping before upgrading each version of the sense ui? i wiped when going to ver 3.0 but since then i have just been updating without wiping. i have that problem where the phone wont stop vibrating when a call connects
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zortoflaven:
Pull down the notification bar. There is a button to clear.

I was playing with other Mms.apk apps and after installing the stock one again, the notifications seem to clear OK now... :confused:

I am using the stock app. I believe there is a way to turn off the notifications.

My install order was:

Wipe > 3.0.0 > 3.0.1 > 3.0.3
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] frankinmerth:
guilty of not wiping, stupidly assumed the initial jump to sense was the only wipe w/o RTFM.

I'm gonna wipe for 3.0.4. then start paying attention :P. Seems no major issue having not wiped but it could easily explain some of the glitches people have.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] awtryau89:
Well, it seems most everyone has done as I did. I wiped when installing 3.0.0 but have not wiped sense. I just did the update to 3.0.4 from Paul. This one is just an update and I am pretty sure does not require a wipe. Link was posted on his Twitter account and was less than 2megs. I am not having any serious issues. I did have the continuous vibe and ring issue once yesterday. I also had the SMS notification issue yesterday. Other than that, I am clean. I may wipe and reinstall if things start going bad. Too much trouble for now though.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] awtryau89:
One more thing. Can I wipe and just restore my Nandroid backup? I was never clear on if this would correct issues or just put things back in bad shape. This would save alot of headaches setting things back up. Probably too convenient though.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] icepixie:
Is it the "tethfix.zip"?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lifeflayer:
that one fixes the tethering problem and tunneling problem.. not quite 3.0.4, but more like a temporary fix until 3.0.4 comes tonight.

Unfortunately, I nandroided back to my 2xx build since I needed tethering this morning so I'll wait for 3.0.4 to do a full flash once again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] awtryau89:
Sorry about the confusion. I thought Paul was getting the link out early on Twitter.

I just wiped and restored my Nandroid backup. Not sure it this will be the same as a wipe and full reinstall. I just don't want to do all my setup again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kimchi0400:
I wiped from CaSense 1.0 to Hofo 3.0.1, then no wipe to Hofo 3.0.0, then no wipe to 3.0.3. Only issues I've had are the following:

-slowdowns later in the day

-music streaming by A2DP has occassional speed/pitch raise (notably, happens after skipping cause of slowdowns)

-answering calls on bluetooth headset is slow/glitchy.

edit 2: I tried testing answering calls with my bluetooth headset

receiving call, while listening to music on headset - headset freezes, unable to show call id

receiving call, while not listening to music on headset but headset is paired/connected - headset freeze, unable to show call id

mid-call, switch to headset - headset operates properly after a momentary pause

making call from headset by pressing redial button - headset operates properly after a momentary pause

Something's making my headset freeze whenever I receive a call.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] seto_613:
This method have a big issue that phone hanged after sdcard mounted to pc.

However I have a simple solution for this. There is a paid app "Share SD"($1.00), it can dual-mount sd card on both phone and pc.

With this app, using app to sd(vfat) without rom support and no need to format sdcard.

I use this method on v3.0.3(wipe->3.0.0->3.0.3), the system and apps running is improved, all function work fine. System will not slow down after running a day. The only dis-advantage is some apps need to re-install(no need to un-install).

Hope this can help and make u enjoy much more.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Version 3.0.4 (October 30th)

- this version does not have any issues after an update with out a wipe

- added sysctl.conf to improve performance and improve battery life (original code by droidbot)

- fixed WiFi tethering

- added tun.ko module to kernel

- reverted some Bluetooth files, let me know if you see any improvements

Download: http://hotweiss.lifeflayer.com/roms/hofo304.zip (rename to update.zip)

You don't have to wipe, all of your settings will remain after the update.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gbil:
Hi, thanks for the update but as I also tweeted to you /dev/tun or tun.ko is nowhere to be found.

When you have time please take a look.

Keep up the good work

EDIT: Just saw that in the kernel config CONFIG_TUN is not set so this must be the issue.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Good catch, I packed the wrong boot.img.

Edit: correct version is up now...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] b.deferme:
Nobody else had Market problems with this release? It seems that which ever application i try to open, it comes back and says "the requested resource could not be found".
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ichijin:
Just wiped and installed 3.0.4, when i just boot up a go into gmail, then proceed to open a message it reboots. This has happened twice in a row
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xiutian:
I got it as well. Seems to be related to Sense UI upgrade but not affecting everybody. Some Taiwan upgraders to the official version are getting it as well.

One workaround that works for some is to clear data from Google Apps (Settings, Applications). Launch Market and create a new Google ID, once that starts up, clear Google Apps again. Sign in to Google again using your original ID.

Works for some but didn't work for me unfortunately.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
thanks, downloading now...does this version support swap or swapper?:o
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] b.deferme:
Thanks for the info, blame HTC on this :-)

EDIT: doesn't work for me either. too bad, think I cant miss the market so will have to go back to Cyanogen or something :(. I was really liking HoFo :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
hmm, I myself don't have this market issue in HoFo's 3.0.3, is this something from new ROM 3.0.4?

thanks...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gbil:
I don't have this issue either with 3.0.4 .

Thanks for the upgrade mate, tun device now works
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] b.deferme:
It's not new, had it on 3.0.3 too. Maybe it's country related? I tried every setting from marketenabler, but nothing works :-) which region are you in?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
south east asia :D

now flashing (no-wipe update) to 3.0.4, hope everything works fine:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] b.deferme:
Can you post your operater values?

By this i mean:

MCC / MNC Something like 20610

And:

country code + operator name

Maybe I can test if my market works with those values :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] seto_613:
Fail on BT A2DP, no sound.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daeshawn:
Just flashed 3.0.4 no wipe...no market issues here..will test rom throughout day for other issues which i dont dont think i'll find
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
ok, the update went well, market is working too (able to detect update to some of my apps as well)

the APN is auto-downloaded by the ROM (which is a major boost since ALL other 32A/32B ROMs out there need myself to manually adding my operator's APN:D), the values are as follows:

(leave as default values)

MCC: 502

MNC: 12

country code:60

name: Maxis 3G Malaysia

operator: Maxis

Hope these help!! :D

Notice that the 3.0.4 is *slightly* more responsive than 3.0.3, but we'll see after a day of usage whether it has slowdown, also battery life seems the same, not much improved.

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daeshawn:
strange i think its a bit laggy...will try a wipe and flash later
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] b.deferme:
I tried to:

- Do a full wipe and try again

- Set the Malaysia settings with marketenabler

and the market problems seem to persist.

Back to another ROM for me.

Still, thanks for the hard work and nice ROM hotweiss!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mc S.H.O.:
Hello tomorrow i sold my htc touch hd and buy a HTC MAgic

the magic is simlocked for vodaphone

when i flash the magic to a other rom..

is the magic then simlock free ???????????????
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] radonsg:
Issue still on 3.0.4.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Momo-moo:
No wipe from 2.X ?

Can you install 3.04 without wiping even from the 2.x branch or only from 3.x?

Thanks a lot hotweiss for your wonderful work, it's much appreciated.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xiutian:
From 2.x branch, you have to wipe. From 3.x, you don't have to.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] radonsg:
paul, any chances of add the option of reboot to the screen when hold on to the power button like Cyanogen rom? Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] radonsg:
same for me too.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lifeflayer:
apparently that only works with the ion branch while we are using the htc branch. you can just use green (call)+menu+red (end) to restart your phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] seto_613:
Paul, the BT on v3.0.0 works perfectly. Are those BT files not compatible with new kernel?

By Feeling, BT of v3.0.x will take heavy cpu resourse that cause system laggy, but not so heavy on v3.0.0.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I will try to revert everything to what I had I had in 3.0.0 now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Vodafone Magic's have 32b boars, this ROM won't work with your Magic.

To get any ROM to work with your Magic, you'll have to root it first.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zortoflaven:
Has there been any indication from Rogers/HTC of an official update yet?

You've done such an amazing job with this rom, Paul. I can only begin to imagine what you could do with an official release.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gbil:
I noticed the following, running a terminal from inside the phone and then su I get a non root prompt. I saw that the su command called is from /system/bin/ while the correct one is the su in /system/xbin/ which gives the proper root access.

Why there are two directories with the same commands?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xiutian:
Ok, please try this. Do a wipe and flash to another rom (normal cupcake or donut), go into Market and make sure everything is there (might take some time for it to sync). Do a wipe again and flash the Sense rom.

Once the phone boots up, DO NOT log into Google Account using wifi. Skip the initial intro part and go key in your APN settings. Then launch Market and sign into Google from there.

It worked for me and fingers crossed that it will go smoothly from here.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Version 3.0.5

- added a few scripts to /system/bin

- possibly fixed the Market issue that some have been experiencing

- Bluetooth should be fully working now

Download: http://hotweiss.lifeflayer.com/roms/hofo305.zip (rename to update.zip)

You don't have to wipe, all of your settings will remain after the update.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mc S.H.O.:
but when i flash the phone to a 32b versie

is then the simlock away.. i want to put my KPN simcard in the phone??

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bruor:
Hotweiss,

I've noticed in the last day that 3.0.4 is quite a bit laggy compared to one of the older ones I was using, can't remember if it was 3.0.3 or 3.0.2 since your updates have been so damn fast lately.

I did notice that BFQ is up to version 302 or so, given any thought to testing again with it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
wow....cool....what do the scripts do? anyway it seems this release purely to fix some stuff and not much on the optimization part of the ROM? :D

can you enable swapper to work? I have no idea why it always failed when coming to "Formatting swap file/partition..." :D

thanks a zillion!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] seto_613:
Thanks for your hard working, Paul.

After Flash v3.0.5 (from 3.0.3 w/o wipe), basic test result as follows:

1. boot up .............. Very Fast!!!!!!

2. BT ..................... Phone Work, A2DP not work

3. Wifi .................... Work Fine (speed is slower than 3G?)

4. Wireless Tether .... Not Test, useless for me.

5. GPS ................... Work Fine (test by GPS Status & Here I am)

6. Other ??

the A2DP is still not work, this v3.0.5 is the fastest one in v3.0.x.

I think there are some BT files wrong (version?) or missed or not compatible. It seems that the BT function is not alright. BT Devices name is blank in the list, need to re-build the identify after reboot by chance, take much cpu resource.

v3.0.0 is the only one that BT full function work correctly, v3.0.3 is the only one can work fine with the mentioned bugs.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zeotrope:
Damn, you're really cranking out these updates... nice work
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kimchi0400:
A2DP doesn't work in both 3.0.4 and 3.0.5

HSF/HSP works fine for making calls, but receiving calls still freezes my headset. Same issue as I had in 3.0.3.

Flashing back to 3.0.3 for now. Thanks for all the hard work :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
on 3.0.5 now, got one reboot when sweeping my homescreen to left, so weird I had never encounter this before (although I did know about many people having this issue with many other ROMs..)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Filgaliel:
I get a "failure at line 3" when installing the originalkb.zip ?

E:Failure at line 3:

copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:

any thoughts ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Try downloading it again...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] routermonkey:
3.0.5 seems a lot more responsive than 3.0.3 did. Still having trouble with sounds not "stopping" as has been mentioned by others.

An example of this is going into the settings to set default ring tone. If you play ringtones in the list you sometimes can't interrupt the sound until it finished completely. This still happens on 3.0.5

I haven't had a chance to test in the alarm clock app if it is still happening there as well. It definitely did it for me with 3.0.3, though.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
I really don't think we need swap on this ROM, or Apps2SD.

We've got plenty RAM and plenty space in NAND for apps.

I like how these ROMs have always been clean and not nearly as complicated as other ROMs.

If you want to use swap, compcache, and Apps2SD, get a T-Mobile G1.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DrSpaceman:
I agree about the swap/apps2sd, for what it's worth.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Howler62:
yeah ive kind of noticed all who ask about apps2sd etc.. dont have 32a signature under messages
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
I have tried other 32B/32A ROM's with all of the speed tweaks and extra swap, apps2sd, etc... but I always end up coming back to the HoFo ROM's that hotweiss releases. They just work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] awtryau89:
3.0.5 seems to be working fine. I am not one to really give updates though as I have had very few real issues with the previous releases.

I have a question about the official release of Sense for Rogers. What will Paul be able to do with it when it comes? How much better/different will it be than what we have now?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] awtryau89:
One more thing Paul. Do you have the Magic ringtones and notifications you could pull and zip up for us? I would like to place them on my SD Card. I have a few tones I really like that are missing from the Sense package. Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Filgaliel:
Same message..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cizake:
Thanks for the great job.

I've just updated to latest ROM and the result is stunning.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] AndroNoob:
rm -R ringtones, etc.

Paul, I've been using your ROMs since 3.0 and have had no problems. I was coming from eugene373's roms for the 32a and they were awsome except no bluetooth. Your ROMs are just as good AND the bluetooth works.

One question I have after upgrading to 305 is that in 303, I was able to remove the stock ringtones, alarms, etc. through adb. Now in 305, I do this and it says "read-only file system" and does not remove them.

Any info/tips is greatly appreciated. Thanks

EDIT:NEVERMIND. I got it to work!! Thanks for making this THE ROM to have for the 32a!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] at314:
i went back to 3.0.3, cuz bluetooth is working 100% the rest i have a problem hearing stereo bluetooth!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bruor:
I just noticed an issue with the HTC weather widget on 305.

When swiping up or down the next image is superimposed on the last.

Can anyone else reproduce?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Howler62:
Weather widget works fine on mine
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] realeze:
Same here. Using Motorola S9s, microphone headset works fine. But stereo media playback doesn't work. The controls work fine though.

Was working fine in 3.0.3 for me as well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] radonsg:
same here media playback not working for me. Using iTech Clip radio.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] seto_613:
I'd tried flashing 3.0.5 after wiping. It's strange the BT work better, A2DP is still no sound, but BT Devices name came back in the list.

So I tried flashing back to 3.0.3 after wiping, same case happened. BT work better, A2DP work fine, but take too much cpu resource for working.

Then I tried flashing back to 3.0.0 after wiping, BT work perfect. I found the difference between 3.0.0 and 3.0.x, there is no player shown on lock screen that take less cpu resource. I don't know is this a bug or not.

Finally I designed to flash 3.0.3 with wiping at this moment.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] briggs81:
It's amazing how HTC can't make a phone with hardware that can handle their software. I am trying to type on my magic right now and there Is so much lag after each key press I don't even want ro bother typing on this thing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I can't figure out what is wrong with the Bluetooth. The 3.0.5 Bluetooth configuration is that of version 3.0.0, and some have stated that it worked perfectly. 3.0.6 will have the 3.0.3 Bluetooth configuration. The reason why we are having so much trouble with Bluetooth is because I don't have anything to test it with.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Taknarosh:
We should, all chip in and buy Paul a BT headset. :)

Thanks a lot Paul, your hard work is greatly appreciated!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I don't want anything in return for this ROM, but I appreciate your generosity. I will try one last possible configuration in 3.0.6 and then revert to the 3.0.3 settings if things don't work out.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] seto_613:
Paul, or u can make only the BT update(s) to us for testing on v3.0.5? (like Tether update on v3.0.3)

I think this will be easier and save more time on it.

edit: I saw other rom threads mentioned that some kernel version will make BT fail, this may be the case now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I am using the HTC kernel source, so everything should be fine...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] seto_613:
i see. It's strange :confused: :confused:

Anyway thanks for your great work~~
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rokybg:
My First Post

Hi, i'm sorry if my question is allready answered but i'm new with this custom ROM.The question is : I installed version 3.0.2 or 3.0.3 of this ROM on my HTC Magic and on the update 3.0.4 it say's that i need to WIPE the data.I spend some time to configure my phone and i don't want to make it all again.What problems could I experience if i don't wipe and update to 3.0.4 and then to 3.0.5 because i need the 3.0.5 update with that Bluetooth fix.Thanks in advance and sorry for my poor english, I'm from Bulgaria HALLA :)
