i cant seem to push the init.rc to my device i get the phone into recovery but everytime i try to push it says permission denied.. what am i doing wrong
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dr_dre:
ive got same problem i can replace init.rc in recovery mode but the moment the system is booted the old ( or diff) init.rc pops up.. are we trying to change the wrong file ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
This is what I'm finding too.

Wish I could solve it, as I need my commands to point to the swap partition not a file, works from shell once booted, and I can push the init.rc, but it as above it gets replaced by what is, i guess, fatal1tys version.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] snakeman65:
I concur. Doesn't seem to matter whether I push init.rc in recovery or on normal bootup, its gone on a reboot! Guess we'll have to wait for the next version of the rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
I'm sure this can be solved.

Fatal1ty, or anyone who knows, where should the init.rc be placed? as in, where did you modify the file to set the cpu speed...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fatal1ty2787:
CpuSpeed should be decided compiling the kernel, since I've no time for doing that, and I wanted to give you a quick solution I placed it in the init.rc

Hi , when i want push init.rc i have this "error" :

C:\Users\Osef\Documents\Logiciel HTC Magic\android-sdk\tools>adb push init.rc /i

nit.rc

failed to copy 'init.rc' to '/init.rc': Read-only file system

Any one have a solution ? please
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
i appreciate that, but where is the init.rc stored? is it in the boot.img? We need to run the commands for swap at boot, but the inits we push are getting replaced by yours, so we need to add those commands to the file you modified. Hopefully without reflashing as it saves you another build!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fatal1ty2787:
Ok I'm going to make a new boot.img to patch that and upload it...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Thanks. I just tried the voice search for the first time, it's impressive.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] macsbac:
Try adb remount first. If that does not work reboot your device into recovery mode.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] macacomachec:
So no one have my same issues?it's so strange,i can't understand why in thousand people i'm the only one who crash when tryng to making call
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
If I install this file, do I still need swapper?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
For me the lines need to be

echo 20 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness;

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p2;

Would a solution to be to add a line to run a user script from a directory we can modify? Would save a lot of future work...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] macsbac:
No you do not need swapper and remember after pushing on the init.rc you must reboot your magic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fatal1ty2787:
mmm can't do an echo by init.rc, I'll try in a different way...

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
you can use write /proc/sys/vm/swappiness 20 i think.

You can check what version you have by going into the fastboot screen. The last four numbers should be 2005.

Where can you find it, I don't see it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] phoboulinos@gmail.com:
Widget clock gets reset every time i return to the home screen ([HOME] button)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] phoboulinos@gmail.com:
Maybe considerable is a stretch. What is does though is that is leaves from free ram at any given time, probably because everything has been swapped (or some) and when an application pops up there is more ram to be reserved. And also lots of swap space means no more auto-closing apps when there is no free ram.

If you remove the card after you have unmounts the card from settings then the card will probably get ****ed. Makes sense because swap is in use by the kernel.

Can someone please upload the 1.2 to something other than megaupload pls.

The dialer, well specifically android.process.acore will Force Close when selecting a missed call from the status bar...the call doesn't appear, but I can run the dialer normally by pressing the green key from home screen and see the call fine, but the missed call notification will not clear on its own.

Using Home rather than TouchFlo, it's far too slow on a 192MB Magic, constantly restarting Rosie for going without that for now :(

Good work so far though guys! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] macacomachec:
I'm not so lucky,while i press green i got force close,of touchflo while running rosie,and android.process.acore while stayng on default android home.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
So I installed swapper. Turned it on - it made a swap file. I disabled run at boot. I installed the new init.rc. How can I tell that the swap file is initialized?

When I selected get information in Swapper, it shows that my swap file is 0 kb. Is it because my swapfile is not initiated or is it because I still have 10 megs of memory free.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] snakeman65:
I think you'll almost certainly find that its 0k because its not working. Pusing the init.rc does not currently work as it is replaced by the one from boot.img upon restart. You can easily tell if your swap is working by using the command 'adb shell free' from windows command prompt. If it shows amounts in the total, used and free columns your swap is working, otherwise its not.

This should be fixed in the next version.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SpiffBB:
Good luck tomorow! You have done an incredible job!

Does this mean that we will have 2 new ROM each day then the exam is over?! :D

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zazy:
Hi all... don't know if this had been posted but i have been away for a while and got no time to read 42 pages of posts... so: sorry if this had already been tested/posted or whatever :p

This is for who, like me, want to keep control over enabling and disabling swap file so you can mount/unmount sd card without any issue do as follow in your linux box (huh? someone talked about Windows? :rolleyes:):

adb shell

then, when you see the # sign:

mount -w -o remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

ln -s /system/xbin/bb/busybox /system/bin/busybox

mount -r -o remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

now you can install and use Swapper from the market.

To verify if swap is enabled (i've got a lot of this questions) just type

adb shell free

and notice the number written in the "amount" column corresponding to the "Swap" row... if this number is not 0 (zero) your swap is working.

@Fatal1ty2787: first of all THANKS really really THANKS for your work, man!

can you please add this symlink to the update-script so there will be no need for users to add it at hand? Thanks a lot :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anidel:
enabling swap helps, but not really that much... granted, your applications won't be killed, but it still takes time to read them back from the swap, and write the news ones on it...and you're gonna notice that lag anyway.

It's a real SHAME Vodafone decided to remove those Mb and a real shame HTC allowed that.

For now I've setup a partition on my sd (p2) as swap (128Mb) but I still have to make it active on boot.

I hope it helps my Magic...

One thing we should look at is a patch Fanoush made for the Nokia Internet Tablets that speeds up sdcard reading/writing a lot by forcing the sd controller chip to run at 48Mhz (it is by default usually set at 24Mhz to allow more sdcards (older ones usually) to work in the phone/tablet, but it really helps on newer better supported cards.

How do I setup the tethering between Ubuntu and the Magic with the Hero ROM?

I noticed that the Hero ROM has a tethering option in the menu. I can enable it, but what do I have to do in Ubuntu to get it going?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] felix100felix:
I've noticed two things:

1.- It seems that it's no syncing automatically the google apps (mail, calendar and contacts).

2.- I'm using PowerManager among other things to change the display brightness depending on if the device is running on battery or ac powered... but when it changes the brightness there seems to be "something" that is reverting the brightness back to whatever it is set in the system preferences.

Anyway great work Fatal1ty, and good luck with your exams!

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
brightness problem

Anyone find that the brightness seems stuck on this Rom? My previous Roms were not like this. If you use any profile apps and adjust the screen brightness there, upon the app exit the screen will revert to the original brightness. I made sure "auto brightness" was disabled in the settings.

The only way yo work around it is to toggle the "auto brightness" setting TWICE (bringing it to disabled AGAIN), then the brightness will be the setting you set in the profile app.

Tried about 8 brightness/profiles app and this Rom just won't work with them. Any thoughts how to correct it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] felix100felix:
Yeah, I noticed that too with powermanager.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] felix100felix:

after that, set up your swap-file in swapper.

Fatal1ty thanks for the great ROM.

I have one suggestion for the next release. Would it be possible to modify the init.rc to import and run a blank init.rc in the system folder. This would allow us to modify the startup without having to rebuild a ROM. I have a swap partition and need to have it set up at boot time.

Thanks again

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] my-demise:
Fatal1ty,

Man, let me just take the time to congratulate you! All you're time an effort with this shows, this is BY FAR the fastest Hero ROM I've tried to date. AS soon as I hit the home screen after flashing everything felt so snappy, granted it wasn't perfectly smooth - but a HUGE improvement! I mean even before setting up Swapper it was running smoother than any other Hero ROM on this board, even with several widgets scattered over the home screen. Again great job my friend, we all owe you a great deal of respect as you obviously know what you are doing! ;)

Thanks mate!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
Just an update, been using 1.2 + manually set up swap. This morning used zazys instructions for the symlink to get swapper working, but can't get it to work with a swap partition so is using a file once more.

Anyways, rom has got slower and slower through last few hours, even with touchflo off, and call quality has been awful, people can't hear me.

I'm away from home for a few days so have had to reflash to a stock rom, might have time to play this evening, but thought I'd let you know.

I think the Hero Rom might be pushing the Magic a bit too far, and swap doesn't seem to be fully reliable at least on this build.

Hope the exams gone OK Fatal1ty, thanks for reply to PM, sorry don't know linux that well to be able to help

Fatal1ty2787, thanks for all your hard work & skill on getting these roms out, Hero is looking pretty awesome and the computer aspects of it are great.

How are people finding the mic level on roms 1.1-1.2? I have had a couple of friends mention that I sounded quite quiet/distant lately so I decided to do some informal testing with voice search(browser and google maps), and voice recorder, and I'm finding the recording waveform that it is shown is very low/flat which is giving me way lower accuracy with voice search results than with the rooted Rogers rom.

Out of curiosity I restored my pre-Hero Rogers nandroid backup and I'm finding with voice search testing that the mic level seems much higher which gives me pretty much perfect results every time.

I'm going to leave the Rogers rom loaded and see what the same folks think when we talk today but it seems to me that the mic input level is way too low on the Hero rom, in complete contrast to the speaker output level which is quite loud :)

Edit: Just spoke with my girlfriend and she said that my voice is coming through loud and clear, much better than while running the Hero roms on my Magic.

Cheers,

Rob
