The Google Gears error just appears once for some reason after you update the kernel and then you'll never get that error again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
OK, I think I know why the wifi is not working with the CIME version. I'm uploading a new version now. Sorry, I don't have time to test everything.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
OK, here's the updated CIME version:

Keep in mind that some 32a boards have issues with this wlan.ko driver...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] telee:
hotweiss, thanks a lot for your good work. I have been using your ROM.. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] CyberQ:
Does this ROM support Danish as input method with T9?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pabbas:
The most suitable ROM for me so far.

One thing my issue is, in mail app when I reply to a mailing list why does the to address goes to the sender. Should go to the mailing list address. Does this the mail app issue or other?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] computerdan:
The oddest thing happened earlier today when I had several apps running in the background and I was typing a message and hit Send. The screen darkened, went blurry and then the phone reset.

I have no clue why it did that, or what happened. :confused: Does anyone know if there is a logfile of some sort that I can check and upload for troubleshooting?

I just installed HoFo 2.0.0 yesterday evening shortly after it was posted (and incorrectly labeled as 1.6 :p)

On a side note, I feel that 1.5 was, in fact, slightly peppier than 2.0, especially when opening up the bottom apps menu. Anyone else notice the same thing?

TIA
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I'm going to try the 2.6.29 kernel that's floating around tonight. We'll see if it helps with stability.

suggestions

Hi hotweiss,

Just a few suggestions.

1. Now that we have the new kernel and wireless.tether for root, I don't think that azilink is necessary. Maybe you will remove it for the next release?

2. The search widget is an odd size as compared to all of the other ROMs.

3. Is it possible to include the power widget from donut?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
1. Sounds like a good idea.

2. The search widget is the standard size, I cannot change it:(

3. Unfortunately not, as HTC has not released their source.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Stratrix:
Just want to say that the second version of CIME 2.0.0 is working great!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vladkor:
One last other idea,

What about getting the ION keyboard on this ROM? I tried pushing it, but it wouldn't open up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I like the Ion keyboard myself. I'll see if that is possible.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
Will this be an alternative input method, alongside the HTC Keyboard?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pabbas:
how do you uninstall MarketEnabler?

I tried adb uninstall but get the message failure
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
MarketEnabler is already installed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Has anyone noticed the improvement with battery life that came along with 2.0.0?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pabbas:
Yep, today my Magic lasted for 13 hours straight. Before it barely survive 8 hours
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pabbas:
I meant uninstall not install
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
adb remount

adb shell rm -r /system/app/MarketEnabler*
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mr_raider:
Any thoughts on integrating apps 2 SD?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I don't see any need for apps 2 SD. Anybody can always add that option themselves.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I just tried adding the Ion keyboard, and there's not enough room for it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
Yes, it appears that battery life has improved in standby only (I've disabled autosync, wifi etc. as well, which contributes too).

Overall, 2.0.0 seems to be quite snappy and no issues with any features thus far.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vladkor:
That's odd.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SpaceBoy2000:
Hmm, I've installed the latest ROM. Long time user of this ROM, but a few things has always bugged me.

First, I can't seem to find anyway of modifying the dictionary of the keyboard. There's a few erroneous entries that I would like to delete, but I'm not exactly thrilled with editing the database by hand. Nothing in the Settings allow me to modify the dictionary either. Has anyone else had this issue with this ROM, or is it just me and my tinkering of the keyboard that screwed it up? Additionally, I can't install any keyboard app from the Market. Though I doubt I'm really missing too much, it's just a tad strange.

Secondly, I can't seem to get Swapper to work. I guess a better question would be, would a swap partition on my SD card help performance, and if so, how do I get it working with this ROM?

Yes, I've noticed a bit of an increase in battery life. A new app has appeared called "Google Partner Setup" when I'm using TaskPanel. What does that do, and can I kill it? This app has only appeared after I installed 2.0.0.

The device also seems to take a bit longer to boot up. Specifically, it takes longer for applications to load after you see the home screen. It could be just me though.

Anyways, love the ROM, it's freakin' awesome and stable, and keep up the great work!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
It does take a little while for me as well but I think it's been that way since before install this ROM (i.e. on stock Rogers ROM).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SpaceBoy2000:
I mean, it takes longer in comparison to 1.1.5. Not that big of a deal though - the better battery life and responsiveness of the phone more than makes up for a few extra seconds of boot up time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
Hey hotweiss, looks like HTC has finally released the Kernel source code -

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=553065

Donut Power widget is a go? :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Well, I will start messing around with the kernel now.... I have a huge licensing exam on the 12th, so I doubt I will have something before then. My study partner is going crazy due to my ROM'ing, lol. Of course I'll keep on making minor changes until that time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] electro-mike:
Yay 201 is up on 4shared.com :D

You keep my phone very happy. Thank you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
Hey man, I appreciate your time - can't thank you enough. Good luck with your exam bro.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SpaceBoy2000:
Good luck! The ROM can wait until you're done =).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] computerdan:
I would also like to figure out how to edit the dictionary! There are so many words which I've accidentally entered into the custom dictionary which I'd like to correct but have absolutely no understanding of how to access.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] at314:
thank you man for the time you spend on this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gruffy:
Hi there!

Nice work on the HoFo and HoFo/ION. Thanx!

Also....a GIG thanx to all involved in these things...too many for me to name etc.

I noticed that i could not access my bought apps (like the MyBackup Pro) with the 2.0 release. This is a "copy protected" app and hence it is locked/blocked by Google on dev-phones etc, but I can see it (and download it) using the HoFo ION (currently 1.03). I have not tested the normal HoFo before and thus I don't know if this has the same issue as the last version. I just wondered if there is anything one can do to fix this on the HoFo?

Thanx, yet again!

/Gruffy
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] awtryau89:
I asked earlier but I just wanted to make sure on this. Does the HoFo Rom support apps2sd? I know Hotweiss stated it can be installed but i am more concerned about installing and being able to run widgets and apps from the sd card. I have not tried it but from what I understand, if the Rom does not support it, the widgets in most apps will not run. Thanks for any help.

Paid Apps Problem

I am also having a problem downoading paid apps. I was able to before installing the latest Hofo 2.0 on my phone. Can this be fixed or bypassed?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I am looking into the issue, but so far I can't figure out why I can't access the payed apps. The problem seems that it is due to the update, but what is the cause I don't know.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Version 2.0.1

- made some minor optimizations to framework-res.apk

- reverted back to 384 MHz (Max, Min is still 128 MHz) to improve battery life, let me know how you feel about that

- removed Azilink since we now have tethering

- changed kernel to Amon_RA's 1.10 kernel, since it is based on the new HTC source

- you will get a Google Gears error the first time you open your Browser due to the kernel update one time

Download: http://www.4shared.com/file/129012716/767d9537/hofo201.html (rename to update.zip)

Chinese and Japanese input added by tom0927:

- Japanese input version: http://www.4shared.com/file/129012722/5a3d02ed/hofo201jime.html (rename to update.zip)

You don't have to wipe, all of your settings will remain after the update.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Ok, I have the solution:

To enable payed apps, follow these commands:

1. Open MarketEnabler

2. Go to the Set custom tab

3. Enter 310260 in gsm.sim.operator.numeric & gsm.operator.numeric

4. Enter us in gsm.sim.operator.iso-country & gsm.operator.iso-country

5. Enter T-Mobile in gsm.sim.operator.alpha & gsm.operator.alpha

6. Click on Set to this values

Cpu scaling...

Hi there hotweiss,

I was wondering is this new release with cpu scaling ONDEMAND.

Thank you for your time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
The HTC update has been applied. I didn't have to reroot thanks to AnonymooseMonkey, as he provided me with the system.img from the update.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I'll add that option next time around, glad that you reminded me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
How is the phone's snappiness now that the max isn't 528mhz anymore? I suspect it will take longer to install apps etc.. but what about general navigation etc?

Will this ONDEMAND allow the CPU to scale to 528mhz when needed?

Thanks for the update hotweiss.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Give it a try and tell me if you see a speed difference. It shouldn't take longer to install apps, as the memory bandwidth is still the same based on the benchmarks that I've seen. General navigation is just fine.

Give me your feedback on the speed changes.

Ondemand can scale to 528 if I put the 528 max back in, and I will.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
I see, so it just regulates the CPU speed better to conserve battery life. Thanks for info.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gruffy:
Hi there!

The problem I had with Market (in earlier post) was not to show "paid apps" (this could also be done by using O2-de from ME), but to be able to see "copy protected" applications (actually I think goes for free copy protected apps as well...I think there should exist such apps...from what I have heard at least).

For example, can you see the application "MyBackup Pro" (not the lite version "MyBackup", but the full version)? For me, this was not possible with the 2.0.0 release (I have not tested 2.0.1 yet I am afraid...will do that asap).

I have seen somewhere (probably here at xda...) that Google has "banned" dev-phones from copy protected applications on the Market. It should be done using some kind of "whitelist" of good phones/builds/ROMS etc. I was thinking that this could be solved by using some kind of identification in the build.prop-file that will make the HoFo-ROM to be in the "whitelist"... Anyhow, I just wanted to give all feedback I have found in the topic.

Here is a direct link to "MyBackup Pro" on androlib: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-rerware-android-mybackuppro-jmnC.aspx

Best regards & keep up the good work!!!

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lifeflayer:
Okay I have used it for a while and I don't really notice much of a difference outside of the web browser (using Steel). I have tried games like Bonsai Blast and they did not slow down the slightest. I have my animation setting at slow for the transition speeds in SpareParts and it hides the occasional lag you would get with the UI really well, but it isn't flawless even at 528mhz so I did not really notice any difference from the previous build at all. I do not use any sort of task killing programs at all as I decided to have some faith in Google's memory management. Unused RAM is wasted RAM :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] AnonymooseMonkey:
I was very paranoid about the updater breaking the phone because it was rooted, so I undid everything before updating. I restored the stock ROM from my nandroid backup and then used the flashrec utility to put back the original recovery image.

Luckily after upgrading, the root hole that flashrec exploits still wasn't patched, so it was easy to re-root, which is good because the spl also got upgraded to 0010 from 0009 so I wouldn't have been able to flashboot if the hole had been patched.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
Thanks for the info. The phone really slows down when loaded to the hilt for me - making task killing essential. No slow down for you at all? Really?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Stratrix:
how can i get into safe mode or something? i think my setCPU is locking the phone up. i tried two reboots and everything just freezes.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lifeflayer:
Yeah the only place where I can somewhat notice a slow down is when I am using the web browser. I guess the only real thing I have running in the back ground is TuneWiki streaming 128kbps shoutcast radio. I find the background applications don't really take much cpu time if they are just idling there. I also learned to restart my phones once right after installing every patch and it improves responsiveness of my phone (maybe it is a placebo)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Donkey3000:
After the latest update to 2.01 (coming from 1.11), I can't get the device to be seen when using "adb devices". The list shows up empty. I've tried this on a windows vista machine and linux machine where it showed up on both so far. USB debugging is enabled. I have no issues using fastboot however and am thinking of restoring my backup although I really don't want to. Any ideas or anybody else having this same problem?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] frankinmerth:
So far so good with 2.0.1, even got my troublesome wifi network to connect. One app that was experiencing very buggy slowness, called "Now Playing" appears to be much snappier again.

Over wifi at least, my browser doesn't feel any slower. Perhaps a bit in scrolling responsiveness. Hard to say without an objective benchmark.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] at314:
the rom is much better than the previous ones i dont see any delay when showing list of the apps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Donkey3000:
I found my problem with adb not detecting the device. Windows has updated a driver for some reason on vista 64. On my linux box, I forgot to run adb as root user for the first time it runs. Now just need to re-install the driver on my windows box, something vista doesn't like to let me do.

By the way, the rom is great so far! (except for the updated marketenabler that has the wrong t-mobile operator id, but i think that's the fault of marketenabler as it used to have the correct one).

Cheers!

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] routermonkey:
Thanks for all the hard work on this ROM hotweiss, the Exchange calendar and contacts support is what keeps bringing me back to the Rogers ROM.

I'm not noticing any negative differences with your CPU speed changes, and everything seems to be working great so far.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Now Playing was so nice on the Iphone, but it is so slow on the Android. I think a 2000 MHz processor would be needed to make it run smoothly.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] walie:
I'm finding scrolling in general is a bit less fluid compared to 2.0. Looking forward to when OnDemand is emplemented with the 528 max, if this happens.

+1 for me on this.

Nice work, Copy-protected market apps?

Hello, I installed this rom last night and so far so good! Love the language options, the glowy trackball, and the fun wallpaper. Everything seems pretty functional as well.

One question, I have used market enabler and can access all sorts of paid applications but not all of them. I have read that rooted phones cannot access copy-protected apps on the market place. Is this what is happening? ie. with ME I can see paid apps but not paid apps which are copy-protected?

Thanks a lot!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
@dancerobot

Can you give me the name of an app you know of that is paid/copy-protected?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gruffy:
Same trouble as I have, I had it with 2.0.0 also. The "MyBackup Pro" is such an application...

The problems seem to be related not to the ROM, but to changes made by Google on their end.

i went back to hofo116 (2.0) boot.img to go back you have to follow these steps ( i have mac adb didnt work for me).

1- make sure that you turn off the wireless before you do anything

2- get the hofo 2.0 boot.img extract it.

3- fastboot boot boot.img to test if everything is going ok. if you didnt turn off the wirless you the phone will keep rebooting.

4- fastboot flash boot boot.img if everything went ok.

5- get wlan.ko from the previous rom /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko

6- push it back to same location in ur phone using adb ( will work again).

7- turn on your wireless to see if its working.
