OK, Just extracted it too...

Knew better than to flash:) new radio version - hopefully it won't give you guys any problems!

Looking forwards to seeing what you come up with.

Just as a question, aren't the Magic and Hero essentially the same hardware? Can't remember if anyone got the specs at the event last week

---

SO tempting to flash system.img, and data.img to see what happens... If I left boot and recovery alone I think i could still get back... arghh!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BinaryFabric:
I say go for it, but hey thats me. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
Yeah, it's tempting but I really should get back to work now...

I guess it'll be a few days/weeks till this gets ported? I assume it's a pretty tough task,

If someone has a sec, how do you extract the contents of system.img - just so I can take a peek...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Crios:
the system.img is over 145 MB...

is too big!!

return to work on it :-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
Good to see so many names from this board picking up on this one...

I thought it was big in comparison to whats been around before - does this mean it's way to big for the magic?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fatal1ty2787:
No it means it's too big for the spl... :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nk02:
it's impossible to flash a 145mb system with 1.33.2005 spl! argh!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
Oh damn. That doesn't sound good. Just starting to get my head around all of this, and I know that anything involving SPL's means problems (But there always seems to be some way around them)

Is it right to assume we cant extract the system.img and see whats adding to the bloat without flashing at some point?

--

Maybe the thread starter has access to a device and could get hold of the SPL?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LlabTooFeR:
I already have it :p But you posted link faster than me :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] avimak:
Go go go! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Crios:
it is possible split app folder into system and into data partitions...

...:-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magpie2000k:
Thats what we like...... Good news.

I have no idea how you guys will do this, but I am sure I like many await checking hourly to see what happens.

Good luck all.

I too am happy to risk phone to test if I can help just ask.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
*Fingers crossed!*

I'm happy to risk my phone if you need someone to help test

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxisma:
thank you very much!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
I think thats the easy part getting to the rom.zip... The hard part as mentioned a few pages back is the updated radio, hboot and large system.img that needs splitting, which I assume is what Nk02 & Fatality are working with...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Killadude:
i know tht... some1 wanted the rom extracted frm the setup file so here it is....

http://d01.megashares.com/dl/cd1638f/rom.zip
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
Didn't mean it against what your doing! I'm sure the upload is useful.

I was lucky and had a windows machine to run the exe, and just grabbed the rom from my temporary folder :D

Now, NK02 and fatality, have those Flashes finished yet? :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Killadude:
did u try flashing the rom use the recovery image??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
:) Altogether now FLASH PLAYER YAY!

Plus a lot of other goodies.

Crios, would you be kind enough to point me on how to extract the system.img, I search but could not find it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nk02:
the problem is the boot.img (kernel and ramdisk)

i'm always on splash :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Killadude:
Oh snapp...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fatal1ty2787:
I passed that part, it's just looping on htc logo
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
Well done to get that far. Next steps? custom kernel? or will an existing boot.img do it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nk02:
imho, on with google magic, we must have a custom boot.img
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Killadude:
how did u write system ir keeps failing for me

ps did u try renaming as update.zip and update with resore image??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Killadude:
tell me how to do it i dont have a with google let me try to do what u did...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mckarnak:
Don't know if it's related or not, but SuperheroV2 always did that on my Vodafone Magic. Only way I could get it to work was to not wipe after installing the ROM. If I did a wipe at any point, I was left with looping HTC.

Cheers.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
Don't seem to have seen many of them...Is that a realistic option (I know it's probably our only hope, but who can do it?)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kingchris:
is it possible get this thng runnig on magic like haykuro descripes here on his g1

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
This might just work, but lets face it things are never that simple are they?

It'll be typical if the G1 owners get it up and going first:(

Then again they do have a bit of a headstart
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dr_dre:
jezus , not watching the forums for 1/2 a day and am missing all the fun.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
Hopefully lack of updates means lots of progress being made? :rolleyes:

Edit...

Stuff it, I'll give it a shot, based on HK's work on the G1 I'll update my magic first to the latest superhero rom(zazy?) then I'll push the system folder from this. Seems to be mainly working for the G1...didn't read the whole thread yet...

I can't try till later this evening, and have to get the system.img extracted first - anyone else can give it a shot?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magpie2000k:
yeah but not sure I understand what to do
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nk02:
damn :( i want to boot hero :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ChrisB:
How did you rip the rom.zip apart?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
Guess its not going too well then :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fatal1ty2787:
not at all :(

we'll keep trying
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] haykuro:
guys.. have you not been paying attention?

to use ANY boot.img you have to rebuild it using the tools i provided a while back (so they contain the new boot locations).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Wow, how could I miss this?

Did anyone got it working on the Magic yet?

Going to give it a try...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skittleguy:
So I tried performing the flash_image method through the recovery, and I got the following error:

# flash_image system /sdcard/system.img
error writing system: No space left on device

Guess that stumps that way :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mack:
maybe we'll have more success using a Rogers magic since the specs are identical to the htc hero. I would love to try on my rogers magic but i have no idea how to start. =(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anidel:
You've almost bricked your phone, you know that?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dr_dre:
HK did a system split up to sd card . so the 148 mb file isnt buging us :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skittleguy:
As long as I can boot into recovery, it's not a brick ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DarknessTM:
you can always call Rogers and they will replace it :)

just use vodafone kernel

Thank you for your work "magicians"...

Have a good eating!! :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mckarnak:
Curious to see how it performs on the Vodafone Magic. SuperheroV2 with zazy improvements performs _ok_ but can be a bit on the sluggish side at times.

Will Apps2sd still be possible? It's been very useful given the number of times I've flashed my rom in the last few days ;-)

Cheers.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fatal1ty2787:
So trying to upload rightnow, here in milan there is a storm, so maybe my connection will fall...

dunno if wifi will work, if not I'll release a fix or an update... :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
You and NK02 and everyone else who makes this possible, asking for so little in return are a-maz-ing!

Thanks so much for making our lives easy! I will now try to learn as much as possible to be more helpful next time!:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] theillustratedlife:
Fatal1ty,

It would be really cool if you'd explain what you did. That would help the rest of us learn how to make these sort of changes (taking the burden off of you) and also help us avoid the sort of mines that brick phones. =)

Also, what's the deal with rom.zip? Whenever I open it, I get rom.zip.cpgz (which, if opened, produces rom 2.zip).

People have said that this has a new hboot and radio, which could brick your phone. I have an Ion, which seems to be the most hackable Android device. If I were to try the RUU_Hero.exe flasher on my Ion, would it brick?

I'm still not quite clear what these things mean. I imagine radio is what teaches the phone how to talk to cell towers, and that it could be reflashed if broken. Is hboot the logo that comes on when you first turn on the phone (mine says "Google IO 2009") - right before the HTC/Android logo?

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sleepr:
i hope that this version of the htc mail client supports exchange pin security.. :)

and now that we have the .apk from the hero build, shouldnt we be able to just pick and choose which app we want to run at any android build regarding htc branding or not?

cause, i want a google build, with the htc exchange mail (that can manage pin security) the flash and maybe something else from that hero build. i dont think rosie looks that good :)

hopefully theres a dev that wants the same things as me and can make a rom like that for the nordic magic ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nk02:
in first release, will not work gps/camera. but we're trying to fix!

ps: gps fixed :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] birchboi96:
nooo :eek:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] es_pirulo:
I want to be wrong, but I think you need more than an apk to have exchange working. I'm searching for a rom like yours, a google build with "native" exchange support, but I think it's not possible without an HTC Compiled kernel.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sleepr:
well, one can only hope thats enough! :D

the H is 3g it stands for HSPA WHICH IS 3G IN EUROPE
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] r1tman:
Hi Mac,

If u see H is already 3G.

Infact 3.5G

H = HSDPA, short for High-Speed Downlink Packet Access, is a new protocol for mobile telephone data transmission. It is also known as a 3.5G
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fatal1ty2787:
check the forum for the fully working rom :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Enigma87:
You are our Hero!!! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DigitaL BlisS:
That's actually incorrect, HSPA is NOT 3G... Not to mention, there are different bands for HSPA... both European and NAM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SpiffBB:
Enough playing around with the first one, time to update again...... Thank you all for all of your work!!!!

/O

One more thing. Then I used the SuperHero rom i installed Swapper from the market and it made a great improvement of the speed but here swapper fails (force close) - maybe possible to fix in the future for further speed?! Can also confirm audioplayer wont work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] essojay:
thanks a million for your efforts so far... you are simply brilliant.

But i flashed the new rom the ported heo release2 unto my vodafone, updated alright but it got stuck rebooting / looping on the htc screen .. need to mention that am almost a noob here..sorry if this has been answered before..

please hlp out..

thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] essojay:
Sorted now.... first wipe, and re apply the update..

thanks

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Enigma87:
And after the update don´t wipe ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
Yea every rom has little bugs - especially the 6.5 ones since it is not an official release - i was also hesitant to flash at first but it all went smoothly too - tested lots of 6.5 roms but in the end decided 6.5 isnt ready yet and until all the little things are fixed i'll stick with stock vodafone r3a lol

Though some of 6.5 i vastly improved but some of it can be attained through advanced config yet still the scrolling isnt super smooth.

Still glad u kept your x1 - u wont regret it!

You think you will be getting the x2 when it comes out though?
[XPERIA X1 General] VNMenIeu:
You should try gtrab's wm6.5 rom. I think his roms are the best so far. After that, install Iconsoft PhonEx app and you will have a great X1.
