UPDATE: After installing the latest build from Skittleguy, my weather app and clock are now working properly. Also WIFI works out of the box. Excellent work! Thank you.

Unfortunately now my sdcard is pooched. Not sure what happened, but it's no longer accessable read/write? From the fastboot recovery rom I can push updates, but adb fails to mount it properly.

An ls -l shows d--------- as the attributes for /sdcard. Chmod doesn't work, even as root b/c it's listed as read only.

Anybody have a similar experience?

search by voice

Is this missing search by voice? It appears to be for me. Unless it is a setting that I am missing somewhere. Is it just a matter of adding libspeech.so back in again? I may try that shortly if no one replies.

First thoughts running on a Rogers Magic - nice, Exchange sync seems to work well. Calendar has crashed on me repeatedly. Everything else seems fine so far. Camera - it would be nice to get that fixed but that's barely an issue. Haven't tried music yet.

ive got another problem

just now i just lost connection to the entire network.

im just able to dial alarm numbers only.

this is weird as im in an area with full connection all the time.

is this a one and only coincidence . or do more people have this problem ?

could it be swapper related as thats the last prog i installed.

I just figured out that if you made AAC versions of your MP3 ringtones, they'll work just fine. Thanks to the person who stated that AAC's play fine on the Music Player and eventually led me to trying out AAC ringtones. As far as I've tried MP3 and AAC notifications are a no-go.

Sorry for the noob question

Hi all,

I am new to this. I am planning to get a HTC Magic and flash it with Hero. I read the entire first post. I just wanted to ask if it is easy to do and if the instructions on the first post is all it takes.

please let me know. Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Basically you download the ROM file, rename it to update.zip and then follow these steps (you use the Hero update.zip instead of the root one in the instructions):

How did you add any lib files??? The system partition is full in my case :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] adrianhensler:
Hah - I thought maybe it was just me with the full system partition. I ended up going to /system/media/audio/ringtones and removing some. I did have some complaining about it being a read-only file system. Not sure if the remount or the:

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

... allowed me to delete the ringtones and then add the libspeech.so

I used a adb push c:\libspeech.so system/lib/libspeech.so to get that installed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] k4r1m:
Where did you guys get libspeech.so from?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skittleguy:
"adb remount" should stop the nagging, since it switches the file system to a read/write.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] barefootnz:
Busybox was already working, just not in the system path. Swapper wasnt working for me still, even though I couild run the exact command that swapper runs.

I enabled swap manually this morning though and 6 hours later my phone is unusable lol.

It was using over 40mb of swap before I left for work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parrot5:
I deleted a a bunch, and only freed up around 2MB... I need 7MB for the input method, and I did a quick calculation and find that even if I delete ALL the ringtones I probably still don't have enough... LOL.... What else can I delete?

Hi ,

When i change the Home screen wallpaper, it sets the wallpaper and comes out. But the wallpaper doesn't change. Whereas the lockscreen wallpaper works. Any fix for the homescreen. Also clock doesn't work. I couldnt download from megaupload. Can you upload it to something else.

Anyone know where to find the "Wallpaper Gallery" in the file structure? I was able to find the default lockscreen image, but can't find the wallpaper gallery pics.

Have a problem with this on my rogers magic. bluetooth will connect but no voice, cant hear. voice recorder or mic in terms of apps is very low, wifi not working either. Can this be fixed? this happens when using both roms. the one spec for rogers and 1.1 update on first post. did a fact reset and the phone hung a boot screen too (only with 1.1). Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Twilkie:
Had some problems so went back to the default 1.5 cupcake.

Problems:

- Missing text message's. As I said before, some texts arrive, some don't. I can't find a real explanation for this. Someone said it might have to do with having a conversation started with someone or not. This is not the case since I missed some texts in the middle of a conversation. (I find this a show stopper).

- Music not working. I used the 1.1 release and couldn't get music playing. All my mp3's failed. m4a files worked fine.

- Slow, i have the 192MB version of the magic. Removed some applications as suggested in this thread but didn't see much improvement.

Still, great achievement to get it working so quickly Fatality!

rm -r /system/app/Rosie.*
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cicciokio:
so, after a day using htc hero rom on my vodafone magic, these are "my results":

- "slowness" problems seem to be mainly linked to new HTC Sense UI and related widgets

- increasing CPU clock and swapping to SD card don't change prominently the situation (i'm not sure that swapper works properly on my device).

- Removing ALL widgets from home improves performance, but doesn't solve the problem.

- MP3 files don't work into music player and as ringtones.

- Couldn't change home background with a personal image.

generally speaking, current version is SLOW on vodafone magic, because of lack of RAM, a real optimization is necessary and suitable, especially for Sense UI lovers.

I'm avaliable if i can help in some way ;)

See you soon

@skittleguy

I havn't yet done the modification to any rom to work on HTC branded magic yet , but what I was going to do when I started looking into it was including iptables into the kernel for tethering, Are you able to do that?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
I don't think it's the SPL, were all experiencing the slow performance. I think it's down to the amount of optimisation that has already been done for the G1, ROMS like JACHERO over in the dream section have been around a while, getting better all the time whereas the dev commun1ity for Magic/Sapphire is relativly new.

Give it time, and I'm sure someone will deliver similar results for the Magic... but by then Donut will be out and we'll all want that!

I'm back to my stock ION rom for now, seems even faster after a few days of Hero Rom!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magpie2000k:
I am not sure why but I have a uk vodaphone magic. and I am not experiencing any of the problems you guys are getting.

The rom for me is fast real fast.

I have set cpu installed and just increased max to max.

I dont have swapper installed. I havent messed around with anything else.

The only lag I ever get is exiting browser to home screen. but I always got that on any rom i have used.

I have istalled two programs so far and nothing else. The two programs are gstings to tune my guitars and set cpu.

I must say the microphone vulume is very low, easy to tell with gstrings when tuning guitar.

Other than that all works fine.

I guess my question is what can make these differnces for users?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magpie2000k:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
Is it def a version with the reduced RAM? Maybe you got lucky and got an early 288mb model?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fatal1ty2787:
Sorry guys for the lack of optimization, but I'm doing what I can, I've college's exams, and I don't know too much about Android too, that's why I'm going to release more release with minor changes, and not some big release with a lot of changes...

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:

Just saying how the G1 crowd have a huge headstart on this!

Small improvements are better than none!

Great job so far
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
I think you can try adb shell cat /proc/meminfo which should tell you somewhere.

I don't doubt you at all, but there must be a reason for it. Have you updated you SPL at all?

I'm using the crios SPL (haykuro with modified version string) so don't know if that matters or not.

Class 6 SD arrived today, but as it seems swapper doesn't work at present haven't tested yet.

Fatal1ty - any chance of the swapper fix being posted? is it the same as the one for the g1

i guess that means no

spl is haykuro when I first rooted phone so I guess it is similar to yours
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
Okay...

Let me try to get some perspective on this.

For me, hardware works fine, biggest issue is after I exit apps (maps, market, people, browser and so on) and I mean exit after using them, not just open & close, I get the HTC logo, and have to wait while rosie reloads (have removed all widgets from screens). This can take up to 10-20sec, and is quite annoying.

Other than that, the rom runs well (with setcpu), and even games like trism which were a bit jerky on stock rom were smooth (and very quick to open/close) but I suspect this is down to setcpu.

Is this what you find, or are you not getting the long delay at all?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magpie2000k:
I only get said delay maybe for 5 to 10 secs on exiting browser not market etc
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magpie2000k:
I only get said delay maybe for 5 to 10 secs on exiting browser not market etc

and the lag is only on exiting browser it is a white screen not a rosie loading issue
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
I guess you are lucky then.

We have (in theory) same hardware, using same software, I'm out of ideas (not that i had many).

Gonna go enjoy the unusually good British weather now while it lasts.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magpie2000k:
I am going to try a few things and see if I can make it replicate your problems..

maybe then see if it is something that is causing this
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
Great, what widgets you got running?

Is it version 1.1 you're testing?

Have you enabled swapper (or similar), and whats syncing to phone - I have my google account, facebook & twitter

I'm gonna reflash it now and see
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magpie2000k:
I dont have swapper installed

google account for contacts and emails. I have no other email account set up on the phone.

I dont use twitter

I have gps enabled and bluetooth. not wifi at moment as since flashing havent been anywhere to use it.

yes V1.1

widgets are as stock on install. havent changed anything

I didnt backup before wiping and flashing. and I havent restored anything.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bufodill:
This is just the same as I experience with my voda, it closes rosie each time I jump out of an app, wether it's a rosie-widget or anything else, as browser.

It's the same with or without swapper. I imagine that swapper doesnt work, even though it says so? Because swapper really improved this problem on the last rom I used.

I have not installed any other programs than swapper (which I tried to deactivate) and set cpu.

Also, mp3 doesnt play
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dallerup:
I also have the same problem with my vodafone magic. Else the rom is really great thx for a very nice job.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
OK, Reflashed with v1.1, took SD out so not that, only syncing to google account, wifi off, widgets removed from homescreen, only installed setcpu at 528max, and still really laggy returning to home I get the HTC logo, the loading then like 10 sec later can use the phone.

Dammit, :D

Update 13.36

Have given in and disabled TOUCHFLO in settings/applications/manage->clear defaults and gone back to Googles Home launcher. No ROSIE widgets, but i wasn't likely to use them anyway. Still have the backgrounds, general UI skin, people :) peep, weather etc, and the multitouch browser which i LOVE, but the biggest difference SPEED. WOW this flies without TOUCHFLO enabled! in and out of apps all over the place and it rocks!

Someone has said it's because TOUCHFLO isn't tagged as 'essential' so gets unloaded all the time - is this something we could change / and or reduce the size if TOUCHFLO(.apk?)

Fatal1ty - I now am in love with this ROM and you and your work! (In a totally Hetro manly way LOL) Great job, hope the exams at college go well for you - what u studying? Based on this if you're in UK I have a job for you after college :)

Maybe... I've flashed from both the stock ION ROM(not from this site I don't think) and the SFR Voda Rom (same as UK) with same results...
