I've updated to this version from 1.1.0H, but noticed that the dashes still exists in Dialer. Thanks for the update!

Edit: Also, can you include * LocationServices memory leak fixed (by itp) from cyanogenMod? Apparently that's what's causing Android to slow down after a few days of usage. Thanks!

Fixed wallpaper not setting bug

Removed Reiser File System support

Updated IO Schedulers (default set to cfq)

SYSTEM :

Recompiled /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko to match kernel RAv1.0.1
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
@pintspin :

You just need to follow this procedure :

Download this file and copy it to your SDcard

Boot your phone into recovery mode (press HOME while booting)

Wait a minute

Perform a nand backup (just to be safe)

Select update choose and apply the update

Reboot

Geez just as I was about report some bugs you already got a new version LOL?!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cenedra:
wow ur update fix is fast! thx alot ^^
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pintspin:
i beleive before applying update wipe data is necessary because.. i didnt wipe data and there was an error on my previous rom , some process force closure prompt was always there when ever i boot the phone .. so after installing the new rom its contineously bugging me and i wasnt able to even open the menu........ so again i do the same proceedure and wipe data before applying update........ and now its working perfectly

just one thing i noted that in previous updated rom there were 5 desktop screens which are now redueced to 3 only....:( any ways does nt matter for me since i dont use them often .....!!

but good show amon_Ra.....!! great

BUT SOME FLICKERING ON THE SCREEN CAN BE OBSERVED......!! why is it... it was not there on previous rom thoug......!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Weird, I don't have the dashes anymore... Did you perform a wipe?

Thanks for the tip on the LocationServices memory leak, seems that I'll have to recompile services.jar with the patch. I'm not sure that the existing ION framework will like this ;) I'll give it a try when I find some time next week.

I'm noticed that, no colon and semi-colon on "," and "." button. Are you used different keyboard with JACxHEROski-1.4?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MontAlbert:
happens sometimes with a new rom flash- in cyanogen's build over in dream section there are instructions on how to get it working again in his FAQ in first post.

You can use overclock widget or setcpu to clock it down. Even though the minimum is set lower overclock widget still allows me to clock it even lower. At the moment i have my minimum set to 254.

Hi Amon_RA, I didn't do a wipe. :X Any way to fix it without wiping? Thanks!

Update: I just did a wipe and the dashes are gone. I'd still like to know if I can fix it without wiping though :(. Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MontAlbert:
i think that stuff is in the build prop. you could try to pull the build.prop out of the update.zip and adb it across to /system .... not sure that would work though.... nandroid backup before trying it though of course.....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] despisedIcon:
auto rotation of the desktop doesn't seem to be working.

auto rotation inside of other apps seems ok.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wysie:
MontAlbert: Thanks. Ive compared the md5 of my current build.prop against the Rom one and its the same.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MontAlbert:
that is because it is the old standard launcher. If you want desktop rotation flash the modpack. this has the new launcher with changeable number of homescreens plus folders etc in launch tab.

I have tried clearing the dalvik-cache (by removing all files in it, not sure if that's the right way), clearing data from Contacts, Settings (Dialer can't be cleared, greyed out), but I still get the dashes in the numbers.

I have also pushed the build.prop in manually (despite them having the same MD5), as well as changed the locale to US and then back to GB again.

I know a wipe will fix it but I'm still interested in looking for a fix. Anyone have any suggestions?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Try this :

rm /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wysie:

Issue in 1.2.1

Hi Aman_RA,

Nice work with the 1.2.1H. The ROM is good. But found a issue in display(bluer) which was not there in 1.1.0

How to Reproduce:

1. After booting the phone, press END key. Now the phone goes in sleep mode

2. Press menu key twice to wake-up the phone.

3. You can see the display is not clear and bluer

Apart from this, this is the best ROM I ever seen.

Phone specification:

1. Bought in India (Airtel HTC Magic)

2. Had 1.33.0010 and now updated / changed with HBOOT-1.33.2010

3. SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H

4. CPLD -12

5. RADIO - 3.22.20.17

6. Jun 2 2009, 17:27:03.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] andfreek:
okey... then..

Hi,

I have only 2 components

1. SPL

2. ROM

If there is a no problem with ROM, then can I change the SPL? right now I have 1.33.2010 ENG S-OFF.?

In another post I saw changing from 1.33.0010 to 1.33.0009!..

I still suspect if its not problem with ROM, and if it is with SPL ( I strongly donot syspect) then why it should work flawlessly with ROM v 1.1.0H?

I always welcome help :D

Thanks,

Anfreek
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hernant:
First of all, thanks Amon_RA and all the people which make this possible.

I just noticed something curious..

After I adquire my phone, I remember that I was able to see the sim card menu (the menu built in the card by the operator for ringtones, games and information) somewhere in the Settings. Now I cannot found it. I never used it a lot, so I don't remember well if this happened after I rooted the phone and installed this ROM (RAv1.1.0H) or just now, with its latest version (RAv1.2.1H).

Anyone of you have this issue?

or, if you are able to see this menu, where it is? :D

Greetings!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wysie:
Just noticed something weird. If I were to flash RAv1.2.1H again (over my existing RAv1.2.1H), I get a force close loop with android.process.acore. Might want to take a look at this for the next update :).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
It's there but you didn't do a wipe so you don't see it :)

If you get missing application you need to fix the permissions.

The permissions fix is included in my recovery, but I'll have to update it to a newer version. In the mean time I suggest you to download the latest version 1.20 from here and run it manually.

I have no idea why this is happening, it happens randomly and not all users have this problem. I can for instance not reproduce it... Do you still have the problem when you boot without an SDcard in your phone? (Weird question I know...)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] andfreek:
Hi Aman_RA,

Let me test and let you know. By the way, is there any chance that I can get my previous settings back?

I mean, I have the nandroid backup of the factory provided ROM ( luckly still have it) and the SPL 1.33.0010.

The reason being is, in the current SPL 1.33.2010, if i flash the nandorid backup (taken from the original phone ROM), as soon as I connect the phone, the phone is not recognized in "adb devices" command.

Thanks for your help,

Andfreek!..

Amon_Ra,

I have some request, maybe you would like to include it on the next release:

1. handsfree icon

2. hsdpa icon

3. colon and semi-colon on "," and "." button, like HERO keyboard.

Also, I would like to ask you, where is the "Wallpaper Gallery" files resides? I browse the /system and i cannot find those files. Is it embedded inside the .jar file?

BTW, thanks for your hard work, your ROMs is clean and fast :)

Dear Amon_RA (or anyone else kind to respond),

I'm about to flash my HTC MAGIC with your ROM. I've read through the tutorial, followed few threads and am kindda confused.

I wanted to confirm several things to avoid creating new "bricked my phone" threads.

From what I've read flashing SPL is the main source of problems and I don't intend to flash it ;) or anything else beside "system" itself (it's not from the operator so I can't go back and get a new one :D)

Specs (from Orange-PL but unlocked):

I understand that you ROM is a complete ROM package (term from the tutorial). In the tutorial it is said that one can flash a complete ROM package, but can't flash recovery or boot images.

Your .zip package does contain those images, so my question is whether flashing complete package is safe - does it change boot/recovery images as well and can something go wrong?

If flashing your package overwrites boot, recovery and system partitions, so if I understand correctly once those are restored from Nandriod backup (using fastboot for example) the phone will be like before flashing or are there any other things changed when your ROM package is being flashed?

As far as I know for my revision no change of SPL (HBOOT, radio or anything else) is needed. From what I understand those will be intact when package will be installed so I don't have to worry - or is there sth to be worried about?

Now there's a message in your post that phone must use ENG SPL, is it a must or just needed for a certain function.

Furthermore it is written that your phone need to be rooted but I always thought that this is property of the ROM itself, not something beyond and I can just flash it using you recovery ROM (even if my phone is not rooted, brand new).

Regarding Nandroid and doing the images backup; it is said in the tutorial that one can restore them using fastboot, so is my understanding correct that the signatures are preserved and that's why I can restore those images (without any SPL change)?

I didn't find the explicit info but it seems like it's possible to sign the images somehow to use them on stock SPL's? Is it maybe what your images are doing or is it not possible and there's some other trick?

Now, when I follow the steps below there's no way that I won't be able to recover from my backup - in other words is completely safe ;) and I won't need to go back for help :p

1. Change the name of your package to update.zip and upload to root directory on SD

2. Fastboot to your recovery ROM

2. Nandroid backup my system

3. Use menu option "Wipe data/factory reset"

4. Use menu option "Apply sdcard:update.zip"

5. Reboot and enjoy

Thanks in advance for your (or anyone else's) reply. Hope this saves me a lot of further "post-flashing" posting.

P.S. Post is kindda long and mixes several topics but it's all with respect to your ROM package and being in one place may as well help some other lost souls.

RAv2.0.0 kernel beta test

A really quick beta build of the HTC 32A kernel using a msm7201a config :

- Removed kernel debugging and added IP: Netfilter, EXT4 FS.

- Didn't have the time to optimize further, so this is NOT the final speed it will run at...

Have been running RAv1.2.1H + Mod-Pack v1 + RAv1.2.1H recovery fine since the release - so works fine with your released reversed engineerd kernel

Problems so far with new beta kerel:

1) flashed boot.img but looses USB debug after that (still works in recovery though)

- had to first push wlan.ko then flash boot.img to get wifi working

- Get beautifull widgets "forced closed" on startup but loads after pressing wait. (timeout?)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ardhy:
guys,

I just saw my trackball glowing.. glowing like there is a misscall. I check the notification bar, I saw android market update.

I think glowing trackball issue is not related to kernel..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MontAlbert:
just installed Loccy's BetterBrowser on this rom! works perfectly (except for multitouch of course- hint hint Amon_RA :D ).. loving the double tap to zoom....

If anyone wants to try it i highly recommend it- seems to be faster than stock browser too! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=551119

Did it thru ADB.

Backed up old browser just in case and then pushed new one-

adb remount
adb pull /system/app/Browser.apk E:\android\Browser_backup.apk
adb pull /system/app/Browser.odex E:\android\Browser_backup.odex
adb push E:\android\Browser-bb-v11a.apk /system/app/Browser.apk
adb shell
rm /system/app/Browser.odex
reboot

not sure about the whole adb shell thingy- whether i had to do this or not but i did it and it worked. You could also use something like SUFB to copy it in from sd card and delete .odex file.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wysie:
To add to MontAlbert's point, I've tried Loccy's BetterBrowser and used SUFBS to install it. What I did was to rename the original Browser.apk to Browser.apk.old, and Browser.odex to Browser.odex.old. After that, I renamed Loccy's file to Browser.apk, and copied it into /system/app. It works with no problems :).

On another note, if you want to remove it, simply remove Browser.apk, and remove the .old from the original files. I noticed that I had to reboot the phone in order to see the Browser app again though, small issue really :).

Just experienced an anomaly with my screen brightness setting, it refused to change no matter how i adjust the slider. It was working fine previously with the clean ROM install.

I guess I'll restore to my recent nandroid backup and see if it fixes the problem.

Update: The nandroid backup solved the brightness problem.
