First, you need to root your device:

If you have a Rogers Magic

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530527

if not,

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magic_Rooting

You probably don't have to do the last few steps about flashing the SPL, but you might. I didn't with my Rogers Magic

Once you have root, from your command prompt:

Type

adb devices

to confirm the device is recognized by the computer

then type

adb push /pathtoFile/Launcher.apk /data/app_s/

where pathtoFile/Launcher.apk is where you downloaded the Hero launcher from Fatal1ty

I haven't done this but you may have to reboot afterwards. Good Luck!

is the link down ive tried clicking on the zip file to download it and i get an italian web page , i dont know italian so dont know what it says?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Roy_Drage:
Yeah is it broken, I could download yesterday but now I can't? :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] m1le5:
hmm i guess more work can be done when hero is officially availiable. Are the custom widgets available?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GeoTrail:
This ROM is great. Only thing is that the web browser don't seem to work. I can't load any pages. All the other internet apps works fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Roy_Drage:
Is there a mirror site we can download the ROM from? Or could someone upload it somewhere, the link isn't working anymore on the first page.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxqc:
Works for me....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alurdun:
So what are the expected, known bugs in the 1.4 ROM for 32A (rogers)? It's kinda hard to keep the lists straight.

-Camera Orientation?

-Bluetooth?

Anything else? If that's it, I can live with those issues for now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alurdun:
Another question: What do I lose by having TouchFlo turned off? What, exactly, is TouchFlo?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
Time zone issue. received SMSs are timestamped 4hrs in the past. This bug also affects the app "Locale" that uses the time to set profiles. I have mine set to turn off silent at 6:30pm EST. It is now 2:30PM EST and it switched back to the defauly profile - thinking it was after 6:30pm. I shifted the times in the program 4 hours ahead.

Caller ID - Doesn't display callers name even if they are in your phonebook - will correctly identify afterwards when looking in call history. Text messages sometimes are identified, sometimes not. The replies (from other people) seem to work but if someone sends a new one, it doesnt. hope that makes sense...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] robocik:
Strange, i have no time zone issue... it was a bit strange after flashing, but it went ok when i first manually setted my time zone to, i'm in sweden so, "GMT+02:00, Central european" and then switched on "Automatic Use network provided values" and i've never had any time zone issues, sms are ok and "Locale" works great.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
Interesting. Everything worked for me while I had the "automatic. use network..." turned off and manually set my time. but when i switched back it went back to the messed up way. Oh Well. I blame Rogers.

Thanks! This ROM is awesome!

i havent tested any of the ROMs here yet, but im going to put on the v1.4 on now

before doing so, im wondering if it has microsoft exchange email support just as the HTC Magic does?

also, what are the known bugs on this version so far?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] krifos:
I've installed the 1.4, and was going to restore my contacts that I've synced using HTC Sync, but when I connect my phone there is no option to activate HTC Sync (on the phone). Is HTC Sync removed, if so - how can I get it again to sync against my contacts?

check 3-4 posts above your question :rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] chaddyboy4:
you should download "smsfixtimes" in the Android Market
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] leigh.chris:
Zidane, if you just read a handful of posts in this thread from a number of people you will find that most mention the lagging issues. I have had the same with my 32B board...

turn the large widgets off

(clock/email/messaging widgets) and it runs ok. But i did notice a slowness build up after returning to the main menu after closing apps and also when returning from locked status.

Exchange Sync: Yes in this ROM; tested working.

Regards
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zidane:
thank you leigh

im guessing that the lagging issues shouldnt be there if i have a 32A board?

and also thanks a lot for the exchange sync info!

im going to give this rom a shot
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] brumle80:
Figured out the problem I had with the 1.4 Hero rom, every time I flashed it it would fail to start up properly, but as a last resort I pulled out the sim card and started the phone, that solved everything :D

All I had to do was to use my wifi connection to go through the initial setup, then reboot it and plug in the sim card :D

I was also surprised at how fast it works on my 32A Magic, after all the talk about lag on 32B phones I would have thought it would be quite slow on my phone too, but it's snappy and works like a dream.

Big thanks to Fatal1ty for making the rom and to skittleguy for converting it to the 32A!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] timmy1980:
Do you have the "loading" of Rosie/Sense when returning to home from a fairly memory heavy app like the browser on oyur 32A Magic? Or does it run as well as it looks on the actual Hero?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] brumle80:
haven't tested it too much yet, but only times I notice any lag at all is when using a memory heavy app and go back to home screen, it's so little that it doesn't bother me whatsoever :D

also haven't thought about how many htc widgets I use either, enabled the weather clock and set manual update and addded htc people, htc weather, twitter widget and the exchange widget added a norwegian weather widget called yr.no, sms widget and wifi/bt widgets, gonna test more tonight when I have the time. ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paranoidpenguin:
Does someone else have the android.process.acore error when starting the contacts app?

I have this rom installed since two weeks. Normally everything works fine but its the fourth time this error occurs and the only solution I found until now is to completely reset my phone.

Please can someone tell my what else I can do?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] timmy1980:
Right i see, I have ordered a 288mb version but have a 192mb at the moment. When you say that there is a lag when you go back to home screen after using a heavy app do you mean just a slight delay or does the homescreen have to reload?

Sorry for all the Q's!! just anxious to get an idea of how it runs on a 288mb Magic!

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Roy_Drage:
Basically what happens is the screen will go dark/blurred and in the middle of the screen you'll get a msg saying loading. When it's finished loading then it will display the home screen again. Sometimes it's quick (like less then 5 seconds), sometimes it's longer (on some things I've waited up to 30 seconds just to go back to the home screen).

To be honest, after the initial WOW factor of seeing the sleek widgets and the few extra options etc, I'm finding it to be more of a hassle to use on a day to day basis. For instance if I needed to send a quick text while I had been browsing on the net, then pressing home and then the msg button could take over a minute just to get to the typing bit! Not all that functional.

I love the way it looks but it's just not fast enough at the moment. I'm sure it will improve though, in fact I know it will when more developers start working on it.

It's this reason I'm just flashing this 'CyanogenMod' ROM back onto my magic, it has a lot of the perks of the hero rom but it blazingly fast! Makes it a pleasure to use, and it also has auto-rotate enabled for the home screen which I really like as I use the phone a lot in landscape. And it still keeps multi-touch browsing capabilities.

Anyways I'm sure you'll discover all this for yourself when your phone turns up.

Until then..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] timmy1980:
Thanks for the reply mate, I've actually got a vodafone magic already and have played with LOADS of builds!! going to give CyanogenMod a go now though, what I was getting at before was if the loading of sense ui home is as bad on the 288mb htc branded magics.. guess i'll find out tomorrow when it arrives!!

Thanks for the replies

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxon25:
Hi,

im from the UK and very new to all of this. I have the htc magic, branded with vodafone.

the hero update looks loads better then cupcake and would like to update. The hero update Fatal1ty_Hero-Full_v1.4-signed is it possible to just put on memory card, rename to update, go into recovery manu on the fone and click on update? my phone isn't rooted cause it sounds like a pain to do and i'v herd the hero rom can be installed without the need to root.

Is hero rom all it cracks up to be or should i just wait for the donut update at the end of august???.

the htc magic is a cool phone but what was htc and google thinking when only giving us small storage space and no official way to choose where to install the apps, least with iphone you get a large internal storage space...crazy.

@timmy1980, what the cyanogenmod????

Thanks

Hi guys first of all, thanks for your work! It's such a great news to know that you are here working on this stuff! ;)

O come se dice a Roma....bella regàààààààà!!! GRAZIE! ;)

Then, let's talk about this rom. I guess you two have a Vodafone Magic right?

I do have a Vodafone Magic and this rom, besides been really good looking, it's not usable right now. Too many times (let's say almost everytime!) you get off any app, the rosie interface starts loading. I know we are missing RAM (198 are not enough, sigh! :() but right now there's no way to get swapper working because of missing root. I hope to see it in next rom! ;)

I know, it's just the first release...I do hope there will be a way to make it less RAM hungry! :p

thats what i did, i backed up my phone, wiped the factory reset from the phone, then clicked on apply update.....:rolleyes:

Is there anything else i have to add with the update.zip like app_s which is added in haykuros hero rom.

from this guide http://www.karrderized.com/romguide/#1 do i have to still install the radio before i follow this tutorial?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xyzulu:
You need to wipe using the Recovery Rom, not the wipe on the phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GeoTrail:
Yeah, use the wipe from the recovery ROM you booted your device with. NOT the factory settings.

I guess the order in the boot rom menu should have been different to make it easier to understand, and more logical ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxon25:
I turned phone off, held back and power buttons, went into fast boot, connected my usb cable, in the command window on pc i typed fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.1.1G.img to get into recovery mode on the phone, i scrolled down,clicked on Wipe data/factory reset, it starts,comes up with formatting data, the phone gets wiped, once complete, i scroll to Apply sdcard:update.zip, then it comes up with install from sd card, finding update package..., opening update package..., E:can't open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory) installation aborted

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Roy_Drage:
Yeah I did the same 1st time around mate.

It's because we have file exstensions hidden on our computers. The guy that wrote the guide has them showing.

So when you renamed the file 'update.zip' you actually called it 'update.zip.zip'!!

That's why it wouldn't work. You can show file exstensions on your computer by changing the folder viewing properties to 'show file exstentions'.

Hi, i have the hero rom on my vodafone htc magic and been using it all day today and i must say, it looks excellent and this is what the next android update should be like for all android phones. I will say this, it is a nice rom and all the work gone into making this work should get a pat on the back but..... for the vodafone version it's very very slow at most times and i hope once the hero rom has been released that it would be made more compatible. my 3g connection is always on H, so alittle slow, youtube can't play in high quality, flash player works but not as smooth as it should be. Think im gonna go back to my cupcake till the rom has been improved.

Excellent work!

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bonesy:
I am using the same magic and yes its slow. I have worked around this (sort of) get rid of ANY HTC Widgets on the homescreen, Android ones seem fine but the HTC widgets slow it down. Also if you have alot of images on the sd card like me seperate them in to different folders, Anything over 30 in one folder makes mine force close upon trying to open.

Does anyone know how i can stop the htc weather being on all the time?i dont use it but its another process in taskill

MAXON,

camera works for me even zoom function as does wifi.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxon25:
the wifi works on the hero rom i got at the mo, its just the camera is at funny angles when turned on but when switch to video cam, its fine. Oh and when on youtube, the option to play in high quality is no longer there which is abit poo.

With the weather widget, can't you just get rid of the widget?.

the JAChero rom, whats the differents between the Fatal1ty_Hero-Full_v1.4-signed rom?

can i just run the JAChero update like the fatal1ty hero rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxon25:
from reading about the JAChero it seems to be missing things and still has camera problems and dosn't have wifi, surely the Fatal1ty_Hero-Full_v1.4-signed is better then the JAC hero rom...?????
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Roy_Drage:
Wifi is working now, I don't know why the link is down, perhaps changes are being made.

The only issue I have is still the camera and for some reason it wont rotate to landscape when writing messages. I think the feeling so far is that this ROM is slightly faster then fatal1tys rom.

Theres also no problem when un-mounting the USB, some people experience damaged sd card warning in fatal1tys rom.

Perhaps wait to see if any changes are made.
