cannot find the weather widget, how do I get it on my homescreen?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Deicist:
2 questions:

Do I need to root my phone first to install this rom?

Does it have exchange sync?

Cheers!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SpiffBB:
Just wanted to say thanks for the ROM!

In my opinion its a bit slow but its a very nice interface. There seems to be missing some widgets from the videos of "Rosie" (for example the weather widget). Hope that we some day get a updated ROM. In the meantime a big thanks to all people who made this ROM posible.

/O
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SpiffBB:
Follow some guide and I think you get root as well (not 100% sure).

Seams that exchange sync is brooken.

greatwork from superhero team and Fatal1ty2787 & NK02 for porting it to magic, btw.. can i know how does we convert the file to magic port-able.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] my-demise:
Has anyone got the appstosd to work with this port? Each time I try to move my apps and cache the system starts telling me that applications cannot be opened or crashed then after a reboot the phone hangs at the Vodafone screen.

Any suggestions?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] k4r1m:
has anyone got this working with the rogers magic?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Aratheba:
Hi, first of all I want to thank who made the porting!

Wow, this ROM is wonderful. ;)

Of course, it's still not perfect, few widget are missing (weather, stocks, music), few apps are missing too (if you give a look at hero presentation the photo viewer is different, as some other stuff too)...but...hey...it's great anyway! :cool:

I do hope you'll find time to update it and make it even better! ;)

I'm curious...is this release based on prereleased Hero Rom? That's why the other stuff is missing?!!?

Thanks once more!

PS: nor messagges nor calendar have landscape view...is it normal?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] firecrac:
can do us a flavour on JACHero which found to be more stable ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zazy:
On the Vodafone Italy this rom leaves only 2 megs of space in the /system so, after a little bit the /system fulls and the phone reboot over and over again until a new wipe & reflash :(

If only there were a way to move some of that 217 megs free from the /data :(

EDIT: Don't know if the reboot depends on the /system... wiped, reflashed and /system is still completely full but no reboot... uhhhmmmmm
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Joweh:
Can someone upload it to mediafire.com?

Thanks bye!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] firecrac:
yeap.. mine not working too
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] firecrac:
mine was the same... full always -.-:(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Aratheba:
Mhhh...I've a Vodafone Italy Magic too...mine it's still working.

Crossing fingers! :P
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zazy:
Mine is working too but needed a reflash. As said in the edit maybe the system free space was not the problem... maybe it happened when tryed to add a favourite contact. The operation didn't taken place (with no error message) and after a second than a third try the hang and the need to reflash
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zazy:
Ok, after a little bit of tests here are my considerations on this wonderful rom:

- Like others, BT doesn't work but do this: adb shell bts and than activate bluetooth and VOILA... BT works... no, don't joy too much... if you deactivate and than reactivate BT you need to reboot phone to let it work again. This method let BT works for just one time... really strange. dmesg claim something about an unknow btip service...

- Some times the phone reboots... hoping this is not due to the Vodafone magic limited memory

- Audio is too loud

And this is all for now... hoping this helps Rom mantainers
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] my-demise:
Ditto for the Audio being too loud. Also, I've noticed that I cannot adjust screen brightness. I run Power Manager 1.5.6 but noticed that it wasn't dimming the screen when entering battery powered mode/low battery mode. Can this be corrected easily? I just tested and manually changing the brightness in Sounds/Display menu does nothing to change the screen brightness.

Thanks!

Every time I reboot I have to fastboot my boot.img or the thing will freeze at boot. This ROM is amazing but the Contacts app has one very important missing feature - the option to sync only My Contacts. Without this option my contact list is filled with 100's of emails.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anidel:
I love this ROM, but I hate it at the same time because of Vodafone.

They reduced the amount of RAM significantly (from 288Mb to only 198Mb).

This means that this ROM is close to unusable on the HTC Magic from Vodafone.

Everytime I switch back, from an application, to the Home screen, 95% of the times it has to be reloaded as it was killed to make space for the new application.

Also the swiping on the left/right is often quite slow and luggish (often I've got to repeat the swipe a few times before it catches it and processes it, this because the Home screen is completing its loading and the OS is making space in RAM for it).

Moreover if you plan to hear some music on it while using the phone.. well forget about it. This morning I spent minutes trying to switch to the Home screen with an MP3 playing in background and I had to fight my way thru the "the Home application is not responding" messages, the lock screen, and me trying to pause the music to make the system more responsive.

I have to say it did an amazing job and in the end it did it without crashing, but it was unusable.

It's really really a lovely ROM, I do hope these issues are only related to the ROM being BETA and not to the amount of RAM that Vodafone decided to leave in our phones.

The issue is, my 7 days to return this phone back expire tomorrow. And I have to make the decision now.

Aniello
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zazy:
Ok, anidel you're right (i'm going to PM you my google account 'cause i use gtalk... sorry for the relate :) )... and maybe the problem is the Vodafone Magic...

This ROM got three BIG problems:

1. The BT that doesn't work

2. The system partition got few space left and the install script miss some links and this cause the system to reboot every now and then

3. The Rosie interface is killed too often and so it must be reloaded

so, i solved these problems and:

1. Now the BT works like a charm

2. I made some room in the system partition so after the installation process terminated and now i got 400 Kb of free space in the system partition... but some clock widget themes made the expenses

3. Using a swapping method (of course not a swap partition) now Rosie Home Screen is still there when i return from streetview or from a browser with several pages open and overall performance is increased.

For the third poin some clarification: this can cause some problem to the SD card after a year or two of use.

If Nk02 will give me the permission i will post the new rom.

If i got more time i will work on ram optimization so that no swap is neede... but i need time... 'Tiempo cerca 'u tiempo e nun c n stà' (Time is seeking time but there isn't time)

Peace.

P.S.: For all that geniuses that claimed about: I'm italian so my english is light year away from being perfect and i'm sure your Italian is much poor... anyone got his language.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anidel:
Bravo!

Waiting for your GTalk account :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fatal1ty2787:
OF course you can post it!

anzi devi postarla :P

Edit: sei calabbrisi? mannaia....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anidel:
I've created a swapfile and turned it on.. now it feels like a real Sense UI.

I'll have to put it up on startup.

Started the Browser (and it's still there when I come back), started the Maps (and it's still there when I come back), People and everything, the Sense UI feels snappier, the apps are up and getting them back in RAM from the swap is much faster than starting them up from scratch.

These is what I needed.

So far I've given it 512Mb of swap file and it used up 38Mb with these programs running...

It'll increase of course, and it'll tear down the SD a little, but it doesn't matter, they're very cheap nowadays.

I've using with the Music Player playing an MP3 and is veeery smooth now..

The swap increased to close to 60Mb...

But it's really worth it.

Note: it'll never be as snappier as having 288Mb of RAM and not having to swap at all, but still it's the best we can do.

Unless Zazy has some other nice tricks up his sleeves!

Aniello
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anidel:
For those of you that are waiting for Zazy's patched version, here are the steps to enable the swap (temporary one) on your SD and have a better Sense UI experience:

# adb shell

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/swapfile bs=1024 count=524288

(takes a few minutes, this will create 512Mb of swapfile. It may be way too much, for 128Mb use "count=131072")

The count= calcultion is: number_of_megabyte * 1024 , so 64Mb -> 65536, 128 -> 131073, 256 -> 262144, 512 -> 524288

Then:

# mkswap /sdcard/swapfile

# swapon /sdcard/swapfile

# free

(to check if it's enabled)

If you reboot the phone, you've got to enable it manually with:

# adb shell swapon /sdcard/swapfile

Enjoy Sense UI the way it was meant to be used and let's wait for Zazy's full ROM.

Aniello
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zazy:
anidel a suggestion: if you created a swap partition or a fixed swap file, this will destroy SD faster. I've found a little app called Swapper for Root Users... you can found it in the market. This apps destroy and recreate the swap file at boot time so there are great probability that the file lays on different memory blocks each time... this can extend Sd life ... and of course the problem is not the price of an SD but i'm sure mine will get down when i need it more ... you know it ;)

@Fatal1ty2787: thanks for support, will pack it as soon as i can and upload, but for share i will wait nk02 .. i think this is the right way ;) and sorry... sono campano
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fatal1ty2787:
Mmmmh since we both work togheter making portings, dunno why to wait till nk02... my word is the same as nk02's... (btw I'm constantly in touch with him, so don't worry) :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nk02:
mi tocchi costantemente? sempre detto che sei ghei!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anidel:
Indeed, a very good idea.

I take back everything, use Swapper!

Much much nicer!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zazy:
ok... now it's all clear... i'll post it as soon as i can...

Ok, here is it the Hero4Magic Release2: http://www.megaupload.com?d=VXA4VQLD

In this release you'll find:

1. Bluetooth fix

2. QuickOffice

3. The Exchange sync (it was already fixed, i just included the missing package)

4. Added Swapper to gain some (many!) UI performances

5. Removed some HTC clock widget skins (needed more room in the system partition, sorry)

6. Removed the boot-time sound (at least until volume will be fixed... it's too loud)

7. Fatal1ty2787 "integrity" has been restored ;)

How to install:

1. Push it on the sd card and rename in update.zip

2. Home+Power to start in recovery mode

3. Wipe

4. Apply update.zip

5. reboot

6. Wait a lot for the first boot, than unlock the SIM and, when asked, tap on "Allow always". it's swapper that is starting and needs root privileges

7. Enjoy and report any bug :)

WARNING: If your phone keeps rebooting on startup it's probably because you wiped AFTER applying update.zip.

P.S.: Nk02 or Fatal1ty can you please copy the link in the first post, so it's "easy-to-use"? Thanks a lot

Evening all,

I have but two questions regarding this latest ROM; I have been holding off from replacing my ion rom until a couple of the bugs got fixed.

1) Is the Mail.apk replacement still required with this rom

2) the other Hero rom requires the SD card to be partitioned, apps2sd and all that jazz. Is this required with this ROM, I know it does not mention it specifically but thought I'd ask.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Amazing build, but it still freezes after a reboot with the Rogers Magic. You have to always fastboot a new boot.img.

PS-Bluetooth still doesn't work
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
Have you repacked it according to Amon_RA's instructions?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] snakeman65:
Lovely rom, can't seem to get the twitter widget working though. It logs in ok but never downloads any tweets and when I go to settings and user profile it says User snakeman65 not found and then shows a screen full of garbage starting with a JSONException at the top. Any ideas?

Otherwise great rom, the first hero rom that I think I can actually use day-to-day!

One question, though: Whenever I try to attach a picture or a video to a message com.android.mms needs to be force closed - can anyone help me with that?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] IVO_:
I have found some bugs what are disturbing me:

- The first and most important is that when I press on the clock, open de application world wide clock and crash (it only show me the "force close" button).

- The second is that the music player don't play the music. I've insall ther meridian player too, but it does'nt work either.

- The third (I think) its that the microphone volumes its too slow, because the people can't listen to me correctly.

Apart, home screens are very slow when I press the home button or close any application. It take about 1 minute showing loading...

I think that this is a very very good rom, but this bugs are disturbing me a lot...

jar file?

I have a Google Ion (sapphire) phone (from the Google I/O conf).

When I download from the megaupload link

I get the file hero_r2.zip.jar

I extract the files from the jar file with:

jar -xf hero_r2.zip.jar

which creates a directory named hero_r2.

I create a zip file using:

zip -r hero_r2.zip hero_r2

ls -l hero_r2.zip

-rw-r--r-- 1 user staff 83642529 Jul 3 21:17 hero_r2.zip

I use adb to push the file to my phone.

adb push hero_r2.zip /sdcard/update.zip

1212 KB/s (83642529 bytes in 67.362s)

At this point I can adb shell to the phone

and see the file:

adb shell

# ls -l /sdcard

----rw-rw- system system 83642529 2009-07-03 21:17 update.zip

Then I power off the phone, wait a few seconds.

Then press and hold the 'home' key then press and

release the 'power' key. About 15 seconds later

I get a triangle with an exclamation inside and a

picture of the phone below and to the right of it.

I tried copying the downloaded jar file to the

phone as update.zip, and got the same results.

A triangle with an exclamation.

None of the keys respond at this point, and I

have to pull the battery. The phone boots up

fine after this, but I was not able to update.

What am I doing wrong?
