Paul, v3.0.6noop can't be download, 403 forbidden.

I wiped and flashed the v3.0.6, the HTC logo did not disappear that I could't control anything.

So I restored to v3.0.5 and flashed to v3.0.6 directly, but hanged and keep reboot on the HTC logo. and after a few times reboot, the system boot sucessfully.

Edit: Sorry, the reboot is my fault......
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] seto_613:
v3.0.6 testing result.

Updata from v3.0.5 w/o wipe, success!!!!

1. Boot much fast than v3.0.5, system running a little smooth than v3.0.5

2. BT A2DP and phone both works fine.

3. mp3 ringtone not delay and not lag. default ringtone not test. Need more test.

4. GPS work fine. (test by GPS Status and Here I Am)

5. Wifi auto off issue.

6. Other.....??

because of the wipe and flash issue, i can't test those issue will be fix by wipe or not.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lifeflayer:
i don't know what happened but the file didn't have read permissions for others. i just fixed it and should be available for download now.

2nd update on this

having some dropped calls (2 today.) thats quite a lot of call instability so far lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Daneshm90:
Yo paul, im assuming the rosie in 3.0.6 is zipaligned n compressed ? cud u also do it to other apps...so like i did it to htcmusic, it cut the file size in half and works smoothly now.

Great rom though, a bit confused about this new folder "app_int"
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] AltDimension:
Not sure about the issue with loosing sound during calls, will give that a test later, but I'm sure that dropping calls is to do with your network provider. Sounds like your on AT&T
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Daneshm90:
Yay, zipaligned all the apk's and compressed the pngs. Saved around 15mb. Now does neone know why the framework-res.apk doesnt wanna work ? it works if i zipalign it but compressing the images is a "No No"...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] clandest:
Love your rom, and was wondering is there a way that I can manually remove widgets/apps that I do not? And is this hard? And will it be a pain in the ass every time I update to keep these removed?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jvincent66:
You can create a batch script that runs adb commands to remove unwanted apps. It's pretty simple to run and you'd need to do it after every ROM install.

The only dangerous part is if you remove something you think isn't needed when it actually is.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DrSpaceman:
Are other people having the wifi issue? If so, I guess I'll have to wait for 3.0.7
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ichijin:
Is the Wifi issue where it turns off automatically when you turn it on? I'm using 3.0.6 non-noop, and i don't have that issue
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] clandest:
how would I go about doing this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jvincent66:
Just create a .bat file with commands as follows. Just add whatever apps you want to the list.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bigbadwill:
Hello, i'm a complete noob(sorry) and i will get my Rogers Magic tuseday. I want a Sense UI like the hero on my device. I assume it will be 32A version since it's a rogers magic. At the start, i planned to use the Evil Hero ROM but it's only for 32B.

So, this ROM looks interesting. Does it have all the features that come with the original sense UI (market, wigets, etc)? Does the latest version have a lot of bugs? And is it fast?

Thank you all for the answers and keep on the good work!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] clandest:
and how would I run this to remove the apps?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jvincent66:
No offense, but if you dont know how to run a .bat file I'd suggest that you might be better off using a pre-configured ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DrSpaceman:
No offense to you, but I think many people install custom roms without knowing anything about .bat files.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jvincent66:
True, but he's talking about removing pieces of a custom ROM. What I meant was he should stick with installing the ROM the way it ships.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Daneshm90:
Wow guys stop the arguin....dude who wants to remove certain apps....just get droidexplorer from the application/games section of xda for dream.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hondaguy:
Try reading the first page of this thread for your answers. If they are not there just keep reading. Thats how you learn
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] clandest:
thanks

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bigbadwill:
Thank you for taking time to answer. I already read a lot on different forum. But there doesn't seem to be a lot of nood in the domain so there are many points i still can't understand. And this ROM seems like a chance for me to get the sense UI on my magic. I just want to know some specifications.

Does this ROM have all the widgets

When you flash a ROM, is it still possible to get accesto the apps market, download and install them like a stock device?

And is this rom fast and responsive?

Thank you again, i'm learning but i also need help sometime.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jasrups:
The answer to all your questions is yes!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] seto_613:
306noop testing result.

wipe and flash, the htc logo didn't disappear, so i couldn't control anything. same case as 306. so restore to v306 and directly flash to 306noop.

Does anyone have same issue?

1. Boot much fast than v3.0.5, system running smooth.

2. BT A2DP and phone both works fine.

3. mp3 ringtone no delay and no lag. default ringtone not test. Need more test.

4. GPS work fine. (test by GPS Status and Here I Am)

5. Wifi works fine, Wifi Tether not tested.

6. Other.....??

I'd also tried replace half-sized HtcMusic.apk. Feeling no change but open faster then original. Will keep it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bigbadwill:
Well thank you verry much. Be assured that i will support this ROM and leave feedback, requests and everything.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bethedealer:
So where is v3.0.6? I can only find 3.0.5 in the first page of this thread.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I will be uploading it shortly. I posted it on Twitter earlier on to get some feedback.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
And you have no crashes?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
wow this is good news, I've now with eViL sense just to test out how "light" and "fast" it is (with swapper set to 128mb) but the speed of sweeping through home screens and programs are not as smooth :( although opening programs are relatively faster (thanks to caching available by bigger swap?)

I will be trying 3.0.6 when it's up...just for confirmation: is swap still unavailable in 3.0.6?

thanks again ur rom rocks!!:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Daneshm90:
Yah it works fine, only maps and settings.apk didnt agree so i restored those to stock. Other than that i can c a difference definitely.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Taknarosh:
I guess this is just an unfortunate casualty of going to Sense, but the wired headset provided with our Magics cannot be used to switch to the next track on the the default music player (double press works with meridian).

Now when double pressing the button it calls the last number you called. Which is a somewhat odd feature. I'm guessing this is because Heros come with a wired 3.5mm headphone jack that has a "forward" and "back" control button for music.

I just did a bit of digging, even the TW user manual for the HTC Magic (with Sense) says "If using the provided wired headset use the next or previous button to play the previous or next song, which obviously isn't possible with the supplied headset.

I guess it's just a little oversight they made.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DrSpaceman:
Oh ok, cool - I thought you were saying anybody who doesn't know how to execute a .bat file should stick with the original Rogers/HTC ROMs, which would have been ridiculous.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
OK, thanks for letting me know. I have optimized them already, I just didn't have time to test which apk's cause the problems.

Stopping the upload and adding optimize apk's...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bethedealer:
Thanks for your reply. I'm looking forward to getting it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lifeflayer:
Hey, just wondering, do you mean when you wipe and flash it only shows a HTC Magic screen with nothing else but if you just upgrade from 3.0.5 everything would work fine? Because that's what I am experiencing at the moment.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Version 3.0.6 (November 2nd)

- fixed ringtone lag (thanks to Case_)

- removed shutter sound file, as you cannot turn it off for some reason

- the whole ROM is now on the system partition, you should see a snappier UI

- fixed the A2DP support (thanks to seto_613)

- optimized and zipaligned all of the apk's (thank Daneshm90 for pointing out which files could not be optimized)

- removed some useless files

- removed HTC Sync, but you should still have it if you are updating over a previous version

Download: Delayed (rename to update.zip)

You don't have to wipe, all of your settings will remain after the update.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
3.0.6 is delayed, for some reason my last change corrupted the whole ROM. Will complete it tomorrow.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lifeflayer:
Crap, guess I gotta redownload 3.0.5 now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kingnetwork:
I found a BUG

I found a BUG, I am using 3.0.5 ROM, answered the phone today in a message received in the course, the result has been a long cell phone vibrations, until the hang up after the normal.

Multilanguage?

Is there a was to add the missing languages or is there a multilanguage version somewhere?

Thanks for the great work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Krzysiec:
+1 for this !
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] awtryau89:
Paul,

I downloaded both the noop version and original version yesterday off your Twitter links. Do you make anymore changes? Just wondering so I can make to have the latest updates. Also, what advantages does one have over the other. Thanks in advance.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darvo:
Get MoreLocale from Market.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] realeze:
Hi Paul,

I would like to know this as well. I downloaded the noop version of 3.0.6 from your tweet yesterday and it works like a charm so far.

Sounds like you have further optimized the apks?

Thanks for a great ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 3junior:
I know I can install HTC Sync from the .apk. I was wondering why remove HTC Sync from the image. How does everyone sync there contact list without using this application? Does everyone save their contact list to there Gmail account and find no use for HTC Sync?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] engangel:
hi guys

can you add arabic support to your rom please

waiting for your reply
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pmp.s:
random reboot

I've noticed today that my phone got rebooted when ive been playing music more than 30 min i dono if it has to do anything with it. but it just getting turned off then it boot up againe..

P.S i would like arabic support too... thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dr4stic:
For the longest time I used Motorola's mobile phone tools to sync Outlook with my moto phones. When I got my Rogers Magic, I couldn't get HTC Sync to work no matter what I tried.

When I noticed that the phone auto-picked up the 2-3 contacts I had in GMail, I simply exported my Outlook contacts to a tsv, imported them into GMail, and have managed them that way ever since. Much easier and works beautifully :-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kencix:
Is there a "People" application in this ROM?

IF YES..

Please help how to change from MyHero 1.1.3 to Hofo 3.0.6..

Mini tautorial please :).

Tnx
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Howler62:
yeah.. i just get gmail to check my rogers and msn emails.. keep all my contacts there too so when i do wipe-rom its always up-to-date
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bigbadwill:
I will get my Magic tomorrow. I decided to install this ROM on it. But as i said, i'm a noob. I read a lot on the subject and tried hard to learn it all by myself. I think i learned some points but i need someone to help me because some other points are complete chinese to me.

Here is what i need to know.

When i want to install the ROM, there is two main points.

-Rooting (don't know exactly what it is but i know it has to do with the recovery menu)

-Flashing(installing the new ROM)

Now i would be really grateful to the person who make me a step by step method to install this ROM on my Magic. Let me tell you that this is a used magic so i think it would be better if i wipe am i right?

I tried really hard to learn by myself but i'm at a point when i need someone to guide me in the process.

Thank you for all the great work.

Is anyone on Rogers using Handcent SMS and getting the time stamp issue sorted out? I installed it, but it's still wonky and off by hours.. I thought chomp or handcent was suppose to somehow fix it.. perhaps not.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DrSpaceman:
I don't know about Handcent, but Chomp circumvents the issue (sort of) by sorting the messages by the order they came in, rather than by timestamp. So the timestamp is still off by four hours or whatever, but the messages appear in the proper order.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] icepixie:
http://www.karrderized.com/romguide/

Best guide I used; very easy to follow. Just download the appropriate HOFO version in place of the Hero ROM referred to on that page.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MagicXB:
Hey, first I just wanted to thank you hotweiss for creating what I believe to be one of the best (if not THE best) custom ROMs available for us 32A people! :) However, I had a question I would like to ask you. I for whatever reason cannot get used to the included keyboard on this ROM, so I was wondering how I could either add another keyboard or replace the included keyboard with another one? For example, I loved the included keyboard on the MyHero custom ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bigbadwill:
Thank you everyone for your answers, they are verry helpful.

This Rom seems to be one of the best available now for the 32A and i will support it with feedback and suggestions.

Thank you again
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Howler62:
what i do is set my timezone to London +0 gmt and i get them right.. just turn off automatic time.. but i hear doing this doesnt work for calendar.. not sure i dont use the calendar
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] midtoad:
look back through the forum postings and you'll find a downloadable file for the original HTC keyboard. Alternatively, check out TouchPal keyboard in the market (free at present).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Beast11:
Great rom so far!

A couple bugs ive found: Im getting random reboots. umm i experience lag sometimes for random things on the home screen (hopefully this is fixed by moving everything over to the system partition). and timestamp (obviously).

Otherwise, great rom! Thanks again!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MagicXB:
I understand that, but I'm only trying to get the MyHero keyboard added into my ROM's system/app folder. If someone could just give details on which apk/odex files to push to the folder and/or which apk/odex files to remove, that would be great. :)

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm just going to use Better Keyboard instead.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] midtoad:
How to wipe?

Can someone please remind me how to wipe the Magic? I want to upgrade from my v2.x ROM to the newest v.3.x version. Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] g00gler:
Hey bigbadwill,

did you use that method? And if so did that work good?

I got a rogers htc magic (32a) with the perfect SPL. From what I read the 1 click unlock method works with the perfect SPL, but I just want to be totally sure because I don't want to end up with a brick

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rickytenzer:
Just installed this beauty a few hours ago and I'm in love! I've been waiting for the BT issues to be resolved and thankfully they have.

Question: anyone know if there are any settings for the voice search? It doesn't seem to want to scan my contacts and I can't seem to find any settings anywhere...

I'm also running SetCPU just fine ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bigbadwill:
@g00gler-

I don't know, i'll try tomorrow when i get my magic and i'll leave you a feedback.But i don't want to brick my phone either......:s i'm a noob and i don't want to take too much risk... I'll see what i'll do tomorow.

Hey i saw that it's now possible to port the Evil Hero ROM to the 32A! The Evil Hero ROM seems to be a pretty solid one. Could someone tell meif there are a lot of diferences between it and the Hofo rom? I'm still considering to get the Hofo one but i'd like to now which one you recommand (most stable,responsive,and most features).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kimchi0400:
^I used the one-click root method on Unlockr to root, everything is pretty self-explanatory on their tutorials and once you flash your first rom, you'll have no trouble doing it over and over again. I did it on a stock Rogers Magic 32a, without the update/perfected SPL.

(Do note that although everyone tells you to rename the rom to update.zip, there is also the option in the recovery menu to choose a specific .zip file to flash. Also, use nandroid backup in recovery menu if you're trying out different roms and find a rom you like but still want to keep trying - it creates a full system backup.)

I've flashed and updated up and down and reflashed the recovery twice as well, no brick or issues yet.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] midtoad:
Never mind, I figured it out myself:

reboot into recovery ROM

do a Nandroid backup (just in case)

select "Wipe data/factory reset"
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bigbadwill:
Great! thank you!

I'll try it tomorrow! So anyone can recommand me between this rom or the Evil Hero Rom port?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ma678:
Everyone in this thread will definitely prefer to this rom.:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rickytenzer:
Anyone know how to get rid of the Plurk, Twitter and Stocks apps/widgets?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] homeiss:
If you have the android sdk, open up a command prompt then go to the sdk's tools folder and type in these commands:

adb remount

adb shell rm -r /data/app_s/HtcPlurk*

adb shell rm -r /data/app_s/com.htc.PlurkWidget*

All those apps are in /data/app_s/.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kimchi0400:
I'm sticking to the HoFo rom cause Paul's developing the rom specifically for Rogers 32A Magics. That, and he's been pretty dedicated to keeping it updated and working out the bugs.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sephonly:
Is this a HERO ROM? Sorry I just couldn't find any reference to it so I'm assuming that it isn't one?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] platinumyahoo:
Sense UI = HTC's Hero Software, so yes.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
yes, now basically most rom cookers are picking up official (TW) sense UI for magic so it's hero.

I'm keeping an eye on HoFo's rom as it's the only rom that enable trackball notification to work properly on my 32A..:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] engangel:
what about arabic support
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
After I finish optimizing and fixing all of the bugs, I will add more languages.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kimchi0400:

Thanks for the advice! I had to download Root Explorer to determine the names of the other ones though :P I'm sure there's a better way to see those directories, but I don't know of it!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LooSeGoD:
Excellent work on this ROM, thus far of all the ones I've tried this has unparalleled stability. However there is one thing thats really bugging me I can't seem to work out how to get full English qwerty in messaging, all i get is the T9 pad. Furthermore is there any way to get rid of the Chinese input methods totally?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Taknarosh:
Chinese inputs can't be removed but they included a fully functional English KB so there shouldn't be any issue.

For the T9 issue press and hold the setting key then press Chinese Input then in the "Input method & Keyboard" Settings press "QWERTY Keyboard"
