Can't make non-English keyboard work, pls help

Hi

I can't seem to get non-English locale and keyboard to work. Either I install originalkb.zip directly after installation of the 3.0.7 ROM and then boot - but then I still just get Chinese and English. Or I try to install first the ROM and boot & start it, then shut off the phone, boot back into recovery and install the original keyboard, but then I get an installation error.

Has anyone made the keyboard work for other than English / Chinese for the HoFo 3.0.7 and if so, how?

A month ago I bought a second hand HTC Madic 32A device and haven't been able to figure out which ROM it had installed. Now I have a sneaky suspicion that it has this ROM installed.

Can someone be kind enough to confirm this?

Here is the info:

It has the HTC Sense UI

It boots with the Hami logo (from what i've read, this is an Asian mobile carrier.)

In "About Phone" the information is as follows:

Model Number: HTC Magic

Firmware Version: 1.5

Baseband Version: 63.18.55.06HU_6.35.07.29

Kernel Version: 2.6.27-5469d459 / htc kernel@and18-2 #901

Build Number: 3.03.751.4 CL#75468 release-keys

FASTBOOT:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H

HBOOT-1.76.0007 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-6.35.07.29

Aug 4 2009, 19:43:401

If someone can confirm that I am in fact using the HoFo ROM, can anyone possibly tell me which version would that be, so I can update to the newer versions, since there are things that bother me and would like to get them fixed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Taknarosh:
The Kernel Version doesn't say HoFo in it so I don't think it's this ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sleepymatt:
Hey Guys,

Let me start off saying thankyou hotweiss! Awesome Rom! Few questions ...

How do I change the keyboard back to qwerty? Whenever I'm composing a message or typing in a URL it only allows me to use XT9 or ABC and if I try to change the keyboard my only options are Handwriting, ZhuYin, Cangie, or Touch Input Chinese.

Also, is there any way to use cyans calendar? I'm missing the 7 day week view very much and when clicking on the destination in calendar view, google maps loads up.

Thanks!!

Matt
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Taknarosh:
Go to the Touch Input settings and set it to QWERTY.

Although I HIGHLY recommend getting HTC_IME

@ hotweiss what's your impression on Rogers not wanting to make any updates to 1.6 or 2.0? :mad:

Good thing we have the hotweiss & cyanogenmod ROMs ....! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Taknarosh:
I don't have my hopes up, but again, there is no official statement saying the 2.0 are out of the plans.

You said "They will not receive 2.0 update" that's talking in absolutes. Until I hear HTC or Rogers say that it is speculation.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sleepymatt:
How do I get debugging to work? I have enabled it in settings, downloaded and applied the V6 debugger kernel which killed the rom and I had to restore from backup.

I would like to be able to use ADB but it keeps saying device not found.

I CALLED IT!!!

1.5 + Sense UI first then 2.1 + Sense UI for HTC MAGICS!!!

The pressure tactics have worked!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ChillyEli:
I'm really impressed that Rogers and HTC have reached an agreement to update to not only the 1.5 w/ Sense but also 2.1 by this summer.

Hopefully Paul hears about this and continues his work on this amazing ROM. Now to see how many weeks this will take....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Stach1:
I just updated my rogers magic to this rom and now not data connection. Wifi works but when i turn off wifi it doesnt get data from the network. i have data roaming on and enable always on mobile am I missing something.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paindoo:
Hey paul the official Sensui for Magic is out. Can you update HoFo Rom 3.0.7 to this one, so that we can enjoy the official release. Not to say that your current is Rom is bad or anything.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
WOW, I can't believe that we finally have an update. As soon as I find a dump, I'll make an update.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bruor:
how do I make you a dump? I'll flash it immediately and get it to you!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Just do a nandroid back-up and send me the system.img and boot.img. The only problem is that you might have difficulties rooting your phone later on...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skittleguy:
I flashed it by extracting the boot/system from rom1.zip that gets dumped into the temp dir, so I was able to keep the good radio and SPL. I'm upping the boot/system from my Nandroid as we speak.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bruor:
i've got a neighbor complaining about the vibrate during entire phonecall bug, he'll be happy to go stock and keep the interface for now. The RUU won't nuke the recovery image will it? does anyone know if this update flashes new radio or SPL that might cause the recovery to boot loop?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Awesome!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bruor:
What does this buy for you that you didn't have before? It'll hopefully fix the SMS timestamp issues, but is there much in an official Rogers rom that is different than the asian rom you were basing this on?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] walie:
Hotweiss returns!!

Welcome back!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skittleguy:
Here it is. The system and boot images from my Nandroid backup:

Runs great on a 1.76.2007 w/6.35.08.29 radio 32A Magic.

Ps - it's stock (not rooted).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Taknarosh:
Welcome back Paul!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Thanks. Just downloaded it. I am working tomorrow morning so I have to go to sleep. Expect an update tomorrow evening (I'll try my best).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daeshawn:
very good news

omg thanks so much guys,,, so this will be an easy update??? i dont wanna lose my internet :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] homeiss:
Good to see you back Paul! Thanks for your continued efforts.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Atlas24:
it wont let you update when rooted, i get an error saying the utility cannot update your phone

or i think it may maybe my windows 7 (just got it). i noticed my HTC sync isnt connecting. I even workaround it and installed the vista drivers.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Stach1:
Man, this always happens to me. I finally get up the nerve to root and then love it and the next day rogers is trying to screw me!!!! Hope you get this rom updated cause I love it. (Thanks in advance)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Raptor386:
The timestamp issue is fixed. It was actually fixed in an earlier update a few months ago, so that fix made it into this one. This also fixes the rather embarrassing (and omfg serious) problem where 911 calls won't work when GPS is enabled, hence why Rogers is trying to do their best to enforce it (by disconnecting people from the data network until they update).

I had to restore an earlier backup of the original rogers rom in order for their update utility to work correctly. Since the HoFo rom doesn't have HTC Sync, the updater will not work with it (i think that's the reason, at any rate).

The update utility reflashes the recovery rom and the one click rooting method (Recovery Flasher) no longer works, so I don't think there is currently any way to root it if you use their official updater. So if you're like me and have already used it, you might be stuck with an unrooted phone...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dreckis604:
man what the hell are we going to do?? if we are running this rom? completely screwed!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
Paul is working on an update. Expect one soon.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
No I am not. I just looked at what I can do better than cursordroid, and the answer is nothing. I think I will cease to update the HoFo ROM. I just don't see any reason to continue development when cursordroid has such a great ROM going.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ahmgsk:
Yap thats True
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Daneshm90:
Neway this update can be incorporated into hofo so we can have it working on old spl/radio ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MoreYummy:
So if the hofo rom is out with the latest fix from rogers, any wipe is needed and have to use the backup?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] walie:
you might be waiting for a while
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Donkey3000:
Its complete bull**** that they're disabling data access until you take the update. Nowhere in the contract does it state they can do this. Either they're doing to re-enable it for me or they will void their end of the contract and I'll move over to Bell (maybe Telus?)... who I already hate more than Rogers.

Edit: Off to try cursorsense rom I guess. Hotweiss, thank you for the rom you have provided us for all these months. It has been great!

Cheers!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] RandyG6403:
I didn't really want to muck with my radio,SPL, and recovery... today, I'm swamped

This appears to have the new build string for Rogers 3G Data, HOFO kernal,

Android 1.5 HTC Build 3.05 (sense)

but uses our current radio,SPL, and recovery :-)

It doesn't specifically SAY it's for the Rogers problem - but it sure looks like it is.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lifeflayer:
Awesome updates. Now the only thing lacking for me is the proper VPN support which will come with Donut. Hopefully the Hofo ROM will have it before school start in September or I may have to switch back to using another ROM temporarily just for that :/
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
I see. Well wifi-tethering seems to be dis-enganging the wifi properly now when shutting down - it hasn't glitched since the first time using it. However, the wallpaper issue remains - not sure why that is.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xxgg:
+1 for better battery life.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
I thought about trying Cyanogen as well but I'll stick with this ROM for now, since it's "optimized" for Rogers Magic, which is what I have. This ROM is clean, stable for the most part and has most of the features I care about.

Now we've got wifi-tethering as well ... kudos to hotweiss for implementing these things so quickly :)

Thanks for the masterpiece.

But I can not turn on my wifi after updating to 1.1.3, which is ok in 1.1.2:confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] joaosousa:
Can't get the file from 4shared, can you upload somewhere else please? Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] awtryau89:
Not sure what you did in 1.1.3 but it is much faster for me on my Magic. I updated from 1.1.1 and my phone is noticeably snappier. Is this usually the case with fresh updates? I'm new to Android and looking for every tip I can get.

Also, what kind of improvements in battery life can I expect? That is my #1 issue with this phone. Coming from a Blackberry, I am not used to charging but every 2-3 days. I don't mind charging every night but I can't even get through a regular day. Hoping for all the extra battery life I can get.

Finally, can I use Apps2SD with this ROM? I am thinking of partitioning my SD Card and moving my apps over to get as much space and zip from the phone as possible.

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
The purpose of these updates is to gain performance and functionality.

Battery life will only be improved in terms of standby hours.

You can install Apps2SD, but I don't see the purpose in that. It might even slow things down.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
I dunno, I just can't get it it to work over 3G/HSDPA. To be fair, it appears to be an issue with other GV users as well...just though I'd ask if you had it as well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gdskp:
Please upload the Chinese and Japanese Input version.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
It's not the old kernel per se. This ROM includes gboddina's new V4 kernel, which in my opinion is faster than Amon_RA's kernel.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] awtryau89:
Updated to 1.1.4 and I can confirm better battery life and the ROM is snappier again over 1.1.3. I left my phone untouched on my desk for over 3 hours and it only dropped to 99%. After some usage, it dropped per normal but it is definitely better in standby.

Need a little advice on setting up the Bluetooth tethering. I've just installed Hofo 1.1.4.

Found the Android Wifi Tether How-To video here:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

Followed it, but have the following problem. My vista 64 laptop will not find the HTC when you try to "Join a Personal Area Network".

However, if I just "Add a wireless device", it finds it instantly, but only installs the Headset Audio Gateway service.

Any suggestions?

thx.

(edit) Just noticed my WPA wifi isnt' working? Are others still having this problem?

(edit) Just left the room wifi area with the phone, and when I returned it connected. Strange. I had manually reset the connection 2 or 3 times with no success (ie. delete connection, rescan, re-enter password). Anyways, it seems to be working now.

Well just installed 1.1.5 and while the ROM does feel snappier the GV 3G issue remains - not making outgoing calls consistently. May not be the ROM all the same, could be the app.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] radikaled:
Hey whats up ruffneckc! Hello from the Google Voice forums!

I just wanted to confirm that I have the same issues as you do. Although I think it has something to do with a combination of our device and/or AT&T. I can't really confirm, and I don't see anything strange in the logs either. Fairly inconsistent. Did you try getting the new SIM?

Apparently there is a new official Rogers ROM update for the magic.

http://www.htc.com/ca/SupportDownloadList.aspx?p_id=270&act=sd&cat=2

Although I advise not even attempting to install the ROM since it reportedly throws the "Perfect" SPL on there for you as well :(

Hopefully someone can take a closer look at the updated ROM and possibly port changes to the newly opened kernel. If I have some time I'll try to see if I can rip it apart.

I was using the HoFo Ion Rom and noticed it had the power widget on it, would it be possible to include it in this ROM as well? it's a really nifty tool!!

Not possible, since HTC hasn't released their source.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Do you have the same problem with version 1.1.1? I'm in the process of uploading the new HoFo ROM based on the new Rogers update. A lot of files have been changed by HTC, so maybe you'll have better luck.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Version 2.0.0

- the ROM is now based on the Rogers August 25th update (build 2.17.631.2), which has the following changes:

* Improves the overall device functionality and stability

* Enables correct SMS timestamp

* Enables Chinese character display for POP3 HTML Emails

* Corrects E-mail client exchange Issues

hotweiss can you give any information on what HTC changed? I notice this file is ~500k larger than average. Decent amount of code if anything...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I don't know what the changes are, just the four that were listed. Let me know if you find anything. I did notice that a lot of the files have been changed...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] radikaled:
Sorry about the double post. Not sure what happened with that.

Just tried making a couple calls with Google Voice and I'm still getting the same inconsistent behaviour. I can say for sure that the ROM doesn't seem to have an effect on this piece of functionality. I've tried pretty much all the ROMs out there currently and all have the same result. I really suspect there is something with AT&T and this device in particular... specific to HSDPA perhaps. As I know switching to EDGE only seems to correct the Google Voice issue.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
Hey radikaled, I haven't gotten the new SIM as yet but I'm skeptical it will make a difference since HSDPA works fine otherwise. I really dunno, we'll just have to hope that Google sorts it with a GV update.

Thanks for the update hotweiss.
