I've been running 2.2.6 for a few days and while it is faster out of the box than 2.2.5 I find that after a few hours use when all apps are loaded up the phone becomes quite sluggish when changing between apps. It seems almost like background processes are getting too much CPU priority or something.

Note that this is after approx 4-6hours of use with the following apps.

dxtop

finance

htcmail/gmail

astrid

pingdroid

ebuddy

browser

locale

gtalk/cal/contacts/dialer/messaging

widgets (silent mode, wifi on/off, bluetooth on/off, calendar, battery status)

For example, if i receive a phone call, the phone will be ringing, but none of the display information will come up before the call goes through to voicemail. The trackball will blink, and the status bar icon comes up but i'm lucky if the white screen with caller-id and contact picture show by the 3rd ring.

In HTC mail (activesync) if I go to compose a message, sometimes while typing the keyboard is taking input and suggestions for the work I am working on will show up, but there is no update in the text input box. I have tried killing the task and restarting but it results in the same issue. I end up having to wait out the "hang" for around 1-2 minutes when it becomes responsive again and lets me get down to business. I can't verify but I would assume that this only happens when it's performing an activesync operation with the exchange server.

Under 2.2.5 there is a noticable slowdown to the rom as well, but nowhere near as extreme as it is on 2.2.6. Has anyone else noticed anything similar?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zelrikriando:
Is donut coming out soon on that rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ma678:
I cannot get cime working if I don't change locale.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I will be uploading a possible fix for the slow down issue that you have tonight.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] frankinmerth:
I noticed a bit of chug when typing if it was doing a download or anything, is there a way to tune priorities? input/keyboard and phone functions should trump any sort of background task IMHO
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DrSpaceman:
I've been noticing that it takes longer to switch from portrait to landscape mode lately, since I updated to 2.2.5 and then to 2.2.6. I only started using this ROM at 2.2.4 though, so maybe that's normal? It definitely takes longer than out of the box.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mstolpner:
2.2.5 works way better for me than 2.2.6. I upgraded to 2.2.6 and I had weird problems with different apps not able to read their state properly. The phone rebooted couple times on its own. I had to go back to 2.2.5 and now everything works great again. 2.2.5 is extremly stable and fast and it is the best ROM for me so far.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
It does take a little longer but that's been happening since 2.00 I think.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I think I found what is causing the slow downs that develop after a couple of hours. I will be releasing an update tonight for sure.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] AltDimension:
How easy is it to root this rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] walie:
its already rooted

so pretty easy i suppose
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] AltDimension:
how do i get the superuser permissions icon to show up in the app drawer then?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
This ROM has root, but does not have the Superuser app (no need for it - yet).

Some other updates.

on 2.2.6 I also noticed that when installing apps from the market, the phone would sit for quite awhile before actually starting the download. additionally, while downloading 2.2.7 the phone crashed/rebooted on it's own. Once it restarted the download resumed cleanly, and 2.2.7 has been running great since 9am until just now. It's sitting on my desk and just rebooted when an exchange email came through to it. I didn't notice it getting any slower since this morning, but it's generally by the end of the day or overnight. I'll see what it does and update after it's beaten on for a few more hours.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
The Market bug is on Google's side.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
This was most likely caused by a 3rd party app. It happens to me all the time, it doesn't matter what ROM you use.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
You should have no problems.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ma678:
I have exactly the same issue. No response in the middle of HTC. Mail compositions.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] midtoad:
trouble

I installed 2.27 last night and then went to bed. This morning I got up and made a WiFi connection, then opened HTC Mail. As the app was looking for new mail, my Magic crashed. After the reboot, I noticed that battery voltage was looking lower. I opened Battery Graph and noticed that voltage had dropped from 50% to 20% in a matter of minutes. I have Overclock set to not exceed 384 MHz.

Has anyone else noticed rapid battery drain with 2.27?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Do you have the same problem with the unoptimized keyboard:

http://hotweiss.lifeflayer.com/roms/originalkb.zip
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
That happens to me sometimes to, irrespective to what version/ROM I am using. It's usually caused by buggy 3rd party apps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] icepixie:
^ Any idea what 3rd party apps cause this issue?

Today on very minimal use (on training today so didn't have an opportunity to fiddle w/ my phone all morning) and in a span of 3 hours my battery was down to 68%. And now after 8 hours of the same minimal use I"m down to 30%! My "always on mobile" is unchecked as well.

I think I'll try reverting back to 2.2.4 or 2.2.5 to see if the battery issues are the same...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ma678:
I never tried this before. Considering to switch back to 2.25 because 2.27 seems to drain battery a little bit faster.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Yes, I noticed that the battery drains a little faster with 2.2.7. I will switch to BFQ in 2.2.8...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Rede83:
Really looking forward to 3.0!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jfive74:
Hey hotweiss, any chance we see a hofo sense rom soon? ;-).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Taknarosh:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ma678:
Cannot wait to see 3.0 Sense.:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zortoflaven:
If 3.0 turns out, this will be my first ROM!

:D

Been on the original (June) Rogers rom since I got the Magic on release day.:o Been too scared to try anything new, though I did root it. ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Rede83:
*anxiously waiting*

hotweiss, have you had time to play with the dump yet? Seem like it will be a difficult process to port to our Rogers devices?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Taknarosh:
No it shouldn't this Sense ROM was MADE for our devices.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] midtoad:
battery usage

I think I've found one of the causes of the higher than desired battery drain on my Magic: the TrackMyLife application. GPS apps aren't supposed to use your battery except when they need a satellite fix. And if they can't find a satellite because you're indoors? They keep trying, and trying, and trying.... and hammer your battery.

This morning I killed TrackMyLife and I noticed this evening that after close to an hour of WiFi browsing I was still at 90% battery life. I like that! YMMV, of course.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
No time to play around with it yet. Hopefully there are no surprises that come along with the dump that I downloaded.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jasrups:
I've always told myself I would switch to the HoFo ROM once hotweiss switched to the senseUI.. This ROM's stability and battery life are unmatched!

I'm currently using MyHero 1.1.3 and according to redglasses v2.0 is coming very soon.. This is going to be a tough decision for me, can't go wrong with either :) Regardless, I think MyHero and HoFo will be the top two ROMs that emerge from this latest system dump.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Taknarosh:
Well as one of the rare 32A users we don't exactly represent the largest pool of users for the DEVs so really we don't have the plethora of choice that 32B users have.

But then again I don't mind that since we do have 288mb RAM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jasrups:
I agree, I'll take quality ROMs over quantity any day. The extra RAM is a great bonus, it already has benefits (ie. not having to run apps2sd) and it'll come in handy once more intensive Android OS's are released. 32B owners will be left in the dust ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jfive74:
@hotweiss, redglass just posted his version of the official Magic sense rom. Just a heads up if you should have any problems or etc with your HoFo Sense creation (i'm sure you won't). Reported that all is working, even bluetooth 100%. Look forward to your release. We canucks gotta stick together.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jfive74:
@hotweiss. Just wanted to report a few things in regards to magic sense Rom issues from redglass and Eugene mods of magic sense dump. Gps not working, Bluetooth ok, sms timestamp issue, word completion/correction not working, problem viewing protected apps from market, Rom is based on cupcake, has lag, trackball lights and led ok, tethering problem, might be more. Tested it redglass myself. Felt like I was using old hero Rom from fat... Problems may be due to rushing release, kernel used? Just wanted to share my findings. Good luck with your version. Looking forward to it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kud0s:
after using Red's I am also having the same issues. I seems to run quite quickly for me though and GPS is working. At least google maps finds my location quite accurately.

I do have the timestamp and correction issues that you report though.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Howler62:
I am just curious if anybody who used the official RUU file in TW has any issues

Anyone know if the Android modders have found a fix to the timestamp issue or if the only fix came from HTC updates?

I'm looking forward to the 3.0.0 release, even with a timestamp bug. I've been running HoFo ROM's since July and I've never been dissapointed.

As for the timestamp issue, I'm sure that it will be resolved when Rogers releases a Sense UI update for the Magic 32A. In the meantime, I'm happy using ChompSMS, even though it doesn't have a widget.

Paul,

Have you confirmed that protected apps can be downloaded from the Market? This is an issue on the MyHero Rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ChillyEli:
heheheh Wifi is working again. Who needs sleep tonight....?

Paul doesn't need to update this thread anymore. He has his loyal fans / customers doing the updating for him :P
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xiutian:
Start doing your backups, according to Paul's twitter, we'll need to do a wipe.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skittleguy:
You can use the Messaging widget with any alternate Messaging app. I think I was using it with Handcent back in the day...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
So why is it that ChompSMS doesn't have the timestamp issue...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
ChompSMS sorts by the order received on the phone, not by the timestamp on the SMS message. The phone probably has a record of the time that the SMS was received.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Sorry for the wait everybody. I am new to the Hero ROM's. The last thing that I had to fix is the app directory; had to '777' it. I'm now testing to see if that fixes a problem with apps from the Market having no space on the Magic.

Edit: I will try my best to finish the ROM tonight.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ChillyEli:
Amazing job Paul.

The only bugs I've found so far

1) Time stamp issue (present in ALL Sense based builds)

2) Some Facebook contacts that I sync with phone contacts never end up updating (not sure why but this problem has been present in all builds with Sense I have tried).

Other then that it's a stable ROM like usual. Hopefully some developer finds a fix for the timestamp problem.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Version 1.0.9

- SMS/MMS time stamp issue is fixed thanks to nk02

- removed SmsFixTimes app

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Cadbury:
It looks like system\app\Mms.apk is different in the newest build.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Yes, that's it. The Mms.apk is what did the trick. So you can push it to fix your time stamp issue in the hero ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] k4r1m:
That creates more issue meaning it just doesn't work anymore att all... it makes force close errors. do you mind just saying what have you guys changed if u know?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
You would have to ask nk02... The file size of this new Mms.apk is even smaller than that of the My Touch ROM Mms.apk.
