Cool~ Thanks for keeping the CIME version~ Will try the 2.1.4.... oops, 2.1.5 now (just changed while I was typing...)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ma678:
WiFi is back to work in 2.15. Thanks, man.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bademasta:
i had some weird problems with my phone going idle/standby while using it in 2.1.4, but i'll give 2.1.5 a shot ...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ichijin:
Locale is an application. You can set constraints (like location) to turn on and off certain settings or send a certain message.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ichijin:
I suggested this before but didn't get a reply, but could the camera apk be brought from the new hero roms with touch focusing?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I'll try to port it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I see, well that makes sense now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ichijin:
Please and thank you
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skittleguy:
I'm still getting the Klaxon boot loop bug with 2.1.5. I imagine its related to the old alarm bug that used to kill the old Rogers rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] apacheo:
That'd be awesome. The Hero camera app (integrated camera/camcorder) is awesome.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
It's a no go for that camera. It has framework that you have port in to. When I added the Hero framework, it didn't even boot up. HTC apps are very hard to port.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MagicManu:
+1 Vote. I need it for my development if its possible
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
OK, what debugging commands will you guys be running just so I can make sure that they work before I release the update.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Try to go into settings, Applications, and then try wiping the Klaxon data.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MagicManu:
Most of time, I need

- the logcat stuff

But I prefer to say that I need a full support because I don't know what happened "tomorrow"... ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bademasta:
when i try to install the older HTC_IME.apk you provided in this thread, i can not access the keyboard anymore. it doesn't even pop up.

But in version 2.1.4 it worked perfectly :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] roriii:

:::

Thanks for the reply. So, In summary, is it ....

1st, Root the Rogers Magic w/ [Rogers_Magic_Rooting_Haykuro]

2nd, Load the Recovery image.

3rd, Load any ROM that's for 32a Magic like Hofo Rom...

Thanks again...!

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] midtoad:
I'm also getting the Force Close error with the camcorder when I stop recording, so it's not just limited to one user.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] HuMpS 97 DoHc:
hotweiss, i'm running your hofo v1 kernel with the drizzy 1.5.5 hero rom and its running great, just wondering if there is anyway for me to update to your newest kernel? or would you have to repackage the whole patch? if thats the case don't worry about it because its running great the way it is, i just wanted to know if it was something simple that i could do on my own. thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Ok, I will have dev update hopefully by this evening.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I can confirm this too. I think the png optimization causes these errors. I tested the camera app only with unoptimized png's. Then I omptimized them, and we have the FC's again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Daneshm90:
Hey, wifi aint workin for me with newest update. I can see the networks but cant connect, selecting them doesnt work like it just stays there .... no "connecting" appears..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Does anyone else have this problem?

PS - 2.1.6 should be up shortly, with the camcorder issue fixed. The problem is that the app doesn't like the optimized png's
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vladkor:
Just loaded the latest - thanks!

About the whole wallpaper thing - thanks for putting the HTC wallpaper into the gallery. The reason I was saying that however, is not so much that I wanted that specific wallpaper in the gallery, but just the fact that the wallpaper that is default when you first load the ROM is not accessible in the wallpaper gallery. The same situation happens on this ROM.

Just a suggestion from a user standpoint that it would make more sense to have the wallpaper that the phone first loads with as the wallpaper in the gallery.

I'm obsessive, I know. ;)

Anyways - thanks for all your hard work!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] k4r1m:
Awesome thats was a quick update! thx lotz.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vladkor:
2 odd things with 1.06.

1. I decided to do a wipe and start from scratch. When setting up the phone initially, it brought me to the Dream action process = "slide out keyboard to continue". Home-buttoned out of the setup screen to bypass.

2. Now, after initial setup, the google contacts refuse to sync.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Thanks for letting me know. I will delete this update. I didn't have time to test it after a whipe.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mcg:
Might also want to fix the topic :D

Officicial! Or is that a real word? Office + cial?

Anyways, on topic, great work as usual!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] _j0nas_:
Lovely room!

Is there any possibility for you to insert iptables in the next rls i will love you and if possible donate a beer o five ;)

I have big problems with WIFI tether wish is a drag, i just love that app.

And also im missing the HTC sync wish is a lifesaver when you like me works with a lot of B2B contacts and edit/update add and remove contacts more or less every day. I tried to push htc sync back in the phone but it replayed that the app already where installed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] archigram:
Unbelieveable Job!!! add teeter again?

I'm a dumb architecture student with little computer experience beyond CAD and the adobe suite. That being said, you made it super easy to update my phone, giving me almost just what I wanted...

Is there any way to add teeter back into my phone's memory? I couldn't find a download for it... any help would be greatly appreciated as this ROM is near perfect =)

Thanks again for your hard work!!!!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
OK, I'll put Teeter back in the next version...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MoreYummy:
Does it work if I put another tethering program into this HoFo rom from another developer, that app is working with 1.5 adp.

So since HoFo is based on 1.5 also it should works?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
No other tethering program will work with the Rogers ROM besides Azilink.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MoreYummy:
Ok, So if I want to use other tethering program using 1.5, i need to root it to use the original 1.5, not this HoFo, even it is using 1.5 also?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
The Rogers/Hofo ROM will not work with any real tethering program, that is correct.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] _j0nas_:
Is there anyway for you to put tethering capabilitys back in this rom? It's almost perfect, except for that little thing :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Rigear:
Various people around the forums are trying to rebuild the linux kernal to add support to allow proper iptable based tethering. Until that happens the only way you'll be able to use tethering with the Roger's firmware is through AziLink (which as of 1.0.4 is included in the build) or one of the various SOCKS proxy based solutions such as TetherBot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Slystorm:
sorry for beeing noob; but can anyone explain me what tethering is please? I'm still unable to find the explanation:::

Hello hotweiss,

Thank you so much for your amazing work on this ROM.

My girlfriend was super excited to get back her new found toy teeter.

kudos!!!!

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nanzhong:
I currently have 1.0.6 installed and I must say it's awesome.

However, when I try to update to 1.0.7 using Amon_RA's recovery image I get the errors along the lines of:

can't mount /dev/block/mmcblock0p1 no such file or directory

and then it results in the update not being able to be applied.

What's the cause for this problem?

Thanks.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MagicManu:
Hi,

I have just updated with the new ROM and it work like a charm. Now the camcorder is running as expected. Good job.

But I have the same the problem with the keyboard. In fact, I'm not able to use the default keyboard with some of the applications like SMS/MMS. I type and nothing happened.

But I have a simple workaround:

- From the keyboard click on the "Gear" and select "Keyboard language".

- A dialog box is displayed with only one language which is not selected

- Select it, the keyboard change to qwerty (in my case from AZERTY to QWERTY)

For me it's not a problem since I can have access to the accent letters. But it would be nice if the keyboard language was selected as default.

Regards,
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Yes a lot of the non-English users have been complaining about the keyboard issue. I will create an update that will restore the original non-optimized keyboard.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MagicManu:
Perhaps, you can ask people if they want or not the old keyboard. Or let them apply if they want...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
What I'll do is leave the optimized keyboard, as it is quicker to load. And have the original keyboard left as an update for others. This way everybody is happy.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MagicManu:
Well done :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Update:

Here's the keyboard update for non-English locale users:

http://hotweiss.lifeflayer.com/originalkb.zip
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bruor:
This does not help, I've even tried to not setup a network to see if it helps, which it doesn't.

I have noticed that right after the boot, the GPS icon shows up for 10-15 seconds before everything dies. I installed a "gps on-off" widget from curvefish and when setting it up, it states that it needs to restart either wifi or bluetooth to enable/disable gps.

Could this issue be caused by sim checker? I've gotten frequent crashes of sim checker on boot in previous versions. If you provide instructions to remove it completely I'll give it a whirl! AFAIK, I should just be able to delete it from /system/app/

ALSO, after wiping, installing and setting up 215 last night, I also had issues with basic phone functionality twice today. I tried to place some calls this morning and the call window would come up and just time out. I had to reboot, when I tried to place some calls when leaving work this afternoon, I hade the same issue present itself. Rebooting the phone fixed it as well.

I'm updating to 216 and I'll post any updates on these issues after I've had some time to test them over the next day or two.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
To see if it's a simchecker issue, try removing it:

adb remount

adb shell rm -r /system/app/simchecker*

adb shell reboot
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bruor:
Hotweiss,

I can confirm that removing sim checker resolves the issues I was having with WiFi/location.

However, I never configured sim checker so leaving it unconfigured may be the cause of the problem....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dBartoz:
I just upgraded to 2.1.6, the rom is very fast and responsive, especially I noticed a REALLY fast boot time. I find it also pretty light in battery usage. I think one can get no better rom for 32A, great job..

I'd also like to report that I use italian locale and have no problems at all with the default htc keyboard (though longing for LatinIME, but I can live without it :D ).

I noticed something like what bruor just reported:

Just after bootup it seems that gps and wifi are turned on for a brief time (something like 10-15 seconds) and then are switched off again. Also the state of wifi, gps and the setting for using networks to get position information aren't restored after switching the mobile off and on again.. After those few seconds gps and wifi are switched off and the option for position from networks is set to no even if it was yes before rebooting..

I wonder if this behaviour offers some kind of feature or if it actually is an issue..

Again, thanks for letting us enjoy this awesome rom!

EDIT

I just read bruor's post, I'll try to remove simchecker too..

UPDATE

Yeah, removing simchecker fixes all three of the issues I reported a little up.

I don't know if anyone actually uses this app, but I'd vote not to include it in the rom, as long as it causes these little problems.. One could always install it in a second time, no?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I will remove it in the next version, it still shouldn't do that even if you have nothing configured.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
The reason why I included it in the ROM is because it has to be in the System/app directory to give it the ability to turn on the GPS automatically. If you install it from the market it will be useless if you have your GPS off.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:

Weird. I reported this problem awhile back and it's been resolved for me with a version that had SU update.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SpaceBoy2000:
For SIM Checker, could you just write a script or something that moves it for the user? I've been manually moving it using adb anyways before you included it with the ROM.

Is there any possible way for you to add additional home screens? I'm afraid I've been spoiled from the 7 available in the Hero roms
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I don't think it's been done on an HTC branded ROM (non-Hero). Correct me if I'm wrong...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I just want to thank everybody for sticking through all the problems the last couple days and for reporting all the bugs. I hope you enjoy the ROM in its' current state. I'm always open to improvement and any ideas that you might have.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wir9:
Your ROM is great, it's super fast and has quickly updates :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bruor:
Hotweiss,

we should all be thanking you for taking the time to put something together and share it with the community.

It takes a lot of patience to take on a project like this especially when you are directly dealing with feedback/issues. Just know that we are all greatful, and anyone who is posting bugs is only trying to do their part to help keep your ROM amazing!

This is the only ROM I have found that has awesome speed, and the ability to function for me both at work and home.

I know not much can be said at this point, but given that there are sapphires being released in brazil sporting "rosie". I am hoping that your plans for this rom are to move toward making that platform all that it can be!

With your kernel, and an optimized rosie.apk, I can hardly wait to see what you are capable of cooking up once we get some official releases!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ma678:
Thank you so much.

Have a rest, man.

Would you consider replacing the launcher with Advanced Launcher?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] warriors3:

2)why need to use this ?

thanks for your info ...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MagicManu:
I would to thank you hotweiss for the job you've done on this ROM and for the time spend to explain us how to use it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dBartoz:
Yeah, I already said so, but I'll repeat.. The rom is REALLY fast , stable and light on battery usage.. Absolutely the best..

Thanks again hotweiss (BTW, are you german?)!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gruffy:
Agree a lot on this! Thanx!!!

I need the "logcat" for some debugging so I thought I would give it a try. I am running 2.1.6 (I manually removed the simchecker already...) but the DEV-update does not work for me. It boots and I can see a lot of logs (using logcat) but the Home app does not start...I am stuck with the HTC screen. I could possibly see something in the results of this "logcat" dump at boot but I have not spent too much time on this...

My Setup:

- Running the 2.1.6 ROM

- Changed to Panda Home (to get more screens...actually this Home replacement is not bad at all...and if you do not bloat it with all it can do it is not feeling slow either)

- Running a few other apps extra (no background or boot stuff).

I thought my trouble was because I am not running the default Home application so I also tried to set back to this default Home Application before I applied the DEV-update, but this gives me the same results.

I checked your update file and the only thing I can see is the actual boot.img + wlan.ko. Have you changed something in the init.rc files on the new kernel that could cause this problem I get?

If I understood you perfectly, the new update (2.1.7) only removed the Simchecker, so it should basically be the same as 2.1.6 (when it comes to init.rc and other boot stuff).

Now, a question to you all...anyone else seen anything like this with the DEV-update?

If I could vote, I would vote for keeping the "logcat" inside the kernel in future updates... It is actually pretty useful for checking out problems as well as debugging apps. Personally I don't think you could see any difference in speed etc with it turned on.

Best regards & thanks again

Hi again,

I have installed the ROM 2.1.7. I'm developping some Android applications and I need to test it on my phone. Actually I'm unable to start my application using HoFo Ion Rom. Each time I try to launch the application I got the following message:

ActivityManager: am: Not found

Is there some people able to test an application from Eclipse on the device?

You are a King, I able to run applications on my device from eclipse. Thanks a lot hotweiss, great job

But Logcat seems not work. Should I apply the previous update for kernel Dev V3?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Yes, you need to apply the dev version to see logcat. The dev version has EVERY debugging feature enabled. In my opinion it's a little slower. I will see if I can make a dev version tonight with only adb logcat enabled.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MagicManu:
Don't spend to much time on this. I need just to know if I can upgrade with the dev kernel version. For my opinion if somebody need to a debug version the update package is enough. Most of people using a device are not developpers and don't need this upgrade. If you are able to release a dev kernel version for each new release its ok.
