There is a keyboard in this rom. HTC_IME.

Long press on a text fileld and choose input method...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zaybertamer:
Nope, there is no option under the Input Method pop-out. I can't remember how I got it, but at one point, it said that HTC_IME.apk had no activity in main or something like that. The downloaded image matched the MD5 check. I tried reinstalling the HTC_IME.apk, got like the donut one, it didn't work. I had reinstalled the rom, but it still didn't work. Everything else appeared to work. Just...no means of text input =(

Speech recognition not localized.

Hi guys, I've installed the rav on my italian HTC Magic. Is it normal the non localized speech recognition? It get only english speech. THX!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] htcmagic:
drop to command prompt.

type

adb shell

cd /system/app

ls -l

are there 2 files listed htc_ime.apk and htc_ime.odex in there?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] auvi:
Without a data plan SIM card, is it possible to get past google registration screen on this ROM? Thanks for any help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] htcmagic:
there is a skip button.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zaybertamer:
There is indeed. And I found the error I was talking about as well. In the (Astro) App Manager, if I try to hit launch for com.htc.android.htcime, it tells me "Main Activitiy not found in com.htc.android.htcime."
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
This rom has a keyboard and it works just fine...

I think you didn't wipe, or you have some other keyboard installed (theme?).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] whoisloon:
Amon,

I love this ROM, Thanks for all your hard work!

Loon
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zaybertamer:
Ah, it was the wipe that I missed. The keyboard is working now =)

Couple other questions though: adb install latinIME.apk still doesn't work...is there a different way that the original donut keyboard is installed?

Also, you mentioned automatic APN Configuration - how do I get this to work?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] htcmagic:
make space, or remove other programs you dont need from /system/app

and push LatinIME.apk and LatinIME.odex from another rom that has them.

check available space for system

adb shell

df
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zaybertamer:
Sweet! It worked, and I can change between them now =D Looks like everything is perfect... Thanks htcmagic & Amon_RA for all the patience and help =)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] adept777:
the skip button does not bring you to the home screen!! so please someone give this guy a better idea.. I don't know how to myself if not I would help.. someone posted this can be done by touching all four corners from the touch android screen but it did not work for me..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] auvi:
It does work here. I flashed a MyTouch 3G with RAv1.6.2. There was a Skip button in addition to Sign In and Create (Account) buttons.

Skip button brought me to home screen where I could setup WiFi. After that I was able to sign in by going to Market.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] htcmagic:

how do i tell the browser to go to NONmobile version of a site?

on hero based roms there used to be an option in the browser settings. is there such an option with this rom?

every time i go to yahoo.com it redirects me to mobile.yahoo.com. even when i click on the "desktop version" link on yahoo's website i still get redirected to mobile.yahoo.com. is there a way around this?

also, i get an error that says "there was a problem loading the calendar widget" when i try to add that widget to my home screen. is this a known error? any workarounds? i am trying to add the calendar to the rightmost home screen. that screen is empty. there are no other widgets on that screen.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Lumsdoni:
Been using this for a weke now and it's best ROM I've used so far, can't be bothered to go thorugh the pain of HERO ROms again which are very slow in opening apps compared to this.

One question, does anyone else have issues with MMS on Vodafone UK?

I cannot send or receive.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
The MMS APN settings are probably not correct, you'll need to update them manually.

Could you inform us of the correct settings so I can update the APN settings list in the rom for a next release?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Lumsdoni:

I have tried various Hero and Sense Roms all to no avail with FC's all over the place but this ROM with the advanced launcher plus the Black Droid theme is a thing of beauty! Many thanks AMON_RA!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] CatalystNZ:
32A installed this ROM yesterday and wiped the Data and Cache directories.

I found that I was having intermittent issues with the Camera application causing the phone to reboot.

So far I have resolved this issue by clearing out the old photos and videos that were stored on my SD Card.

I came from a Hero + Sense ROM which had a different directory structure on the SD Card. I had moved all my old pictures and videos into the new directory to let me view my old pics. Now with none in there, I have had no resets.

I will report back if I encounter any more crashes, otherwise no issues.

My friend is also having issues with his phone which I installed this rom onto. He gets a "Loading Data" notification icon which does not stop until his phone resets. I am willing to guess that it's his SD Card as well and he'ss going to try and clear it out and we'll see what happens.

Thanks Amon_RA... Love your work on both the ROM here and the Recovery software... thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] CatalystNZ:
My friends issue was an application he had installed which was not working correctly (Weather Bug). I imagine that the Dalvik Cache was causing issues and I'll try to wipe it via the recovery

Not Able to Communicate to Google Servers

Many thanks for the DONUT!!

but once I have done the update everything works great apart from the gmail client detecting the wifi. I always land up with "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server", where as I am sitting right at the same place next to the access point where 1.5 was working fine.

I am with a 32A.

SPL

I'm new and just trying to catch up on the custom ROMs. I have been reading about SPL's and I wondered if I need to update mine to get more out of my MT3G. Is there a recomended SPL. I don't want to brick my phone.

Thanks.

I'm currently using RAv1.6.2.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bjtheone:
Amon_RA has stated that all SPLs seem to be the same function wise. Only differences is whether you can flash alternate ROMs... ie all non perfected ROMs are the same, all Engineering are the same, etc.

At least from our user point of view. I am sure there are some differences, but given that all they do is load software, it is not worth messing with as long as you have a SPL that allow you to load and flash custom ROMs.

sluggish keyboard

Hi. I'm have a 32A running on Orange Switzerland. Everything is working fine, but the keyboard is really slow at times, especially when I type quickly. I noticed some other people have had this issue, but I didn't come across any possible fixes in the thread. Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pmow:
I'm having an issue where either the space bar, or sometimes any key will cause the "up" direction to be pressed. This happened with HoFo 3.0.7 as well, although it happens less on this ROM.

Great rom Amon_RA!!!

Dear Amon_RA,

first of all, great rom! its the smoothest, fasted 1.6 ive ran and decided to use it as my ordinary day to day rom.

I work for Vodafone (not tell which country) and bought a tawinese unbranded 32A magic with 1.5 which needed 1.6 so I could demo it from my pocket to customers. The rom has ran much faster than the stock 1.5 and am loving it.

one tiny problem though >.< theres a small rounded grey rectangle that appears on the left of the notifactions bar after I receive/make a call. it will only go away after a reset but is back once that first call is made/received. I can't find anywhere in any settings to turn it off. any help on getting rid of it or just clarification on what it is would be wonderful.

Thanks Amon_RA ^^
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
I'm not aware of a gray rectangle on the notification bar? :confused:

What happens when you drag the notification bar down? Do you see an extra option? Could you please make a screenshot of it so we can identify it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] koosbeer:
@Amon Ra - Very nice ROM. Very smooth and fast and I like the different theme. The Hero keyboard is awesome as well.

Question:

I read in this thread that only HTC based ROMs will show the 'H' when connected to the HSDPA network where your ROM will only show '3G'. Does that mean the connection is still just at 3G speed or does it still utilise the HSDPA network?

Regards

koosbeer
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] RtOaNn:
It will connect at HSDPA speeds, if HSDPA coverage is available.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Baldyl0cks:
Thanks for speedy reply Amon_RA,

When i drag down the notification bar the icon/image dissapares and theres no notifications on my drop down area other than my network.

images included (sorry busy at work, cant put screenshot app on magic so enjoy some terrible iphone photos ^^)

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Really strange, I'm not having that icon/image...

Did you install any application which might trigger this icon?

USB networking

Hi Amon RA,

Thanks for this rom, I like it.

I would like to get usb networking to work with my mobile to connect to my computer through USB. It currently seems to not work (no usb interface coming up)

It is probably because the kernel you choose for the ROM does not enable USB networking by default.

Is it so?

Can you give me the link to the source of your kernel and the config file to generate it?

Thanks again for your ROM
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
I compiled the kernel from the .29 AOSP source.

You can pull my kernel-config yourself from /proc/config.gz
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ronan7:
Source

Thanks for your quick reply.

I looked at AOSP web site and do not know how to fetch the .29 version specifically.

Also, I only need the kernel,

so I should only get kernel/common.git from http://android.git.kernel.org/ isn'it?

If you have a link to the .29 that would be great.

After the kernel compiled do I have just to replace the current kernel on my phone with the kernel generated ?

I can try with fastboot and it will replace only for this boot or doe sit replace for all time?

By the way, do you plan to do the Amon_RA_2.0 for android 2.0?

Thanks for your help

Messaging issue

Hello,

Amon Ra, first of all thanks for the great ROM, it's fast, functional and well done.

I saw you were collecting APN settings, here are the Orange UK ones if they're any help.

1 -

Name: Orange MMS

APN: orangemms

MMSC: http://mms.orange.co.uk/

MMS Proxy: 192.168.224.10

MMS Port: 8080

APN Type: mms

2 -

Name: Orange Web

APN: orangeinternet

APN Type: default

Any setting not listed, default or blank

I just had one issue with the messaging application, if it is not in focus after sending a message it says "Message not delivered" and shows an icon with an exclamation mark on it.

I saw above there were other issues with the numbers and name not matching up or something, would this have anything to do with that?

This is after a wipe and trying to install it twice.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kerdum:
I love this ROM! It runs with no bugs that I am aware of.

I have one issue though and I'm really hoping its not a hardware issue. Before this Rom, I had the slow crappy Rogers vanilla. Then i rooted and tried this rom first. nothing bad until I noticed my phone would randomly reboot when it was on teh table and sometimes in my pocket. This occurs 0-3 times a day.

I tried another rom (ION HoFo 1.08) and same issue :(. Does that mean its definetly a hardware issue and my phone is screwed?

Wondering if anyone else has had any success supressing these random reboots. I tried watching the logs but the reboots are so random and hard to catch. Oddly its never happened during a call or any regular use.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xiutian:
Happens to me as well and I find that it only happens when the phone is unable to find any network signal. For me, it only happens at night when I'm in my room where the network signal is very weak.

Just Quick question

I was doing the whole Cyanmod for a while, but kept coming back to this since its very stable.. i just have a question i skimmed through the whole thread but didnt find my answer.. so when in terminal trying to use the ENTER key i guess it doesnt register as ENTER :confused:

is there a work around for this?

i also noticed that the space button locks up like its held down..

other than that im waiting for a future update from you :cool:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kerdum:
I had the same problem. Luckily if you just download the terminal app from the market the enter key seems to register on that one.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cangri87:
..

i actually tried that and still doesnt register for me.. o well
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bjtheone:
I would suspect a hardware issue, or perhaps a misbehaving app. If you strip the phone down to the basics (painful I know) do the reboots go away? If not, I would say it is a hardware issue.

I have had my Magic for 7ish months and have been running Amon_RAs series of Ion based ROMs for much of that and had exactly one reboot.

I spend a lot of time in hockey arenas with my son and often either loose service or continuously go in and out of service during that time. No reboots.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] juno360:
Battery

Just thought I'd mention, the battery life is much much better than stock. I'm on my 4th day and it's nearing the end with moderate usage (wifi, calls, mms, lots of texts, games).

I downloaded overclock widget, set the wake frequency to 386-528Mhz but when the screen is off it's 128-256Mhz.

Not sure which one is more making the difference but battery life is very impressive

GPS slow to get a fix?

Has anyone noticed the GPS being very slow to lock on to satellites and get a position fix? With this room it seems to take up to 5 minutes, or more, to get a fix even if I am standing at the same place where I last had the GPS operating. is there anything I can do about this?

I usually use Here I Am to monitor the GPS satellite acquisition, and though the GPS can see 6-8 satellites with good strength (a minimum of 4 are needed), it will not lock on for the longest time.

thanks

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] t12o1o1:
This particular problem has happened to me as well as the phone would reboot when I had no/limited reception and worked flawlessly when the network signal was strong. I've tried many ROM's and even went to the stock 1.5 build but the problem would not go away. So I figured it must be a hardware issue and sent it into HTC (still under warranty) they told me they replaced the main board to the phone. I get the phone back tomorrow so hopefully the problem goes away =)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bjtheone:
Don't think it is the ROM. I can get a lock in my living room (2 story room with big windows easily and quickly) and get a lock in my office (desk is near the window). Outside, when I am using it for nav in the truck (it is in a windshield mount) it is even faster. I have not timed it but I would say under a minute tops.

OTOH, I don't believe the GPS does hotstart (uses your last know position if less than X hours old) to know which satellites to look for. My dedicated GPS unit locks faster.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] snudel:
same here. google maps gets a fix within 10 seconds

i have rough location always on and gps on demand manually.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] iznogoud77:
Hi Baldyl0cks,

I have seen that icon when usgin my magic with a PT Vodafone card and when in roaming with a service called Vodafone Travel. If I was connected to Vodafone IT which was the case I wold see that icon and had a notification saying I was connected to a Vodafone Group network. When I had any other network connection I did not see that icon. I don't know why yours doesn't have the notification or if you're roaming?

Hope it helps.

Cheers

Optimization

Amon_Ra just a quick suggestion, have you considered using the Zipalign and apkopt optimizations for the next release?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=560271

I pulled all my apks, optimised and pushed, everything seems to be working fine and there's an improvement in the speed of the applications and the footprint has definately reduced.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MontAlbert:
all apps are zipaligned- as are all apps in the themes. The themes have all apps apkopt'd but i dont think the rom does, as some apps FC after being optimised with apkopt.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] juno360:
re:optimization

Yes that's true for some apps (HTC_IME and Voice Search) but otherwise it would be fine. I can report after testing all my apps, performance is better and there have been no problems so far. I believe Cyanogen ROMs are already applying the optimizations as well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
ALL apk's are already zip-aligned since version 1.6.0 of this ROM.

Re-zip-aligning them will not make any difference ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ngji3e:
Any SPL require in this rom? thank you :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] juno360:

Amon_Ra, can you plz include Russian localization in next release?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Naatan:
If I could get this ROM with SenseUI and it's widgets I'd be one happy camper ..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magicdroid:
I'm just guessing here.. but Tattoo has Donut + Sense.. maybe we can take the framework & widgets from that rom? If they are not too small that is..

I know they are porting the Tattoo Sense rom for the Dream/Sapphire devices, but the UI resources are smaller (smaller screen).

On the other hand, since HTC seems to be skipping the whole Donut Sense thing, it might be better to wait for Eclair Sense. 2010 is nearly there.. for the official Eclair Sense ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
I'll never implement the HTC framework.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Xenn0X:
and if you consider i would look you up and talk some sense into you..

this rom is perfect as is now. no sense is needed, only slows down everything.

htc sense is added nonsense.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magicdroid:
You're right.. if people wanted a Donut Sense rom it should be discussed in another thread, and not in this rom's thread.

I'm happy with this rom the way it is right now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] adisavaro:
I put yesterday the last ROM (RAv1.6.2H) and I have caller id problem like following: if I receive a call (from my contry) and in the phonebook it is saved with country code i have no link with phonebook (does not display the name of the caller). I solved that temporary by deleting country code from all phonebook numbers. Thank you!

In the other hand this rom is awesome.

I tried to add another APN and the default one disappeared (default was T-Mobile).

When I try to re-add it and save, it doesn't show up on the APN list.

Now only the MMS APN is showing.

edit:

I noticed the Proximus settings I wanted to add are already in the /etc/apns-conf.xml file.

edit2:

after adding it again, I noticed that if I don't change the default (set automatically) MCC and MNC numbers (204 & 16) to 206 & 01 (for Proximus) that the APN is saved and visible in the APN list.

so.. how do I change the MCC and MNC numbers? or can I just use the default numbers (204 & 16)?
