wifi

maybe if we sent a message to the cook of that rom he might tell us were it is or he even might put it in for us

worth a shot aint it

cheers Fly
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] goa200:
double post
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] goa200:
you got 32A or 32B ? tempted to try to as well to kill some time
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] flyover1:
i think they have 32B

Im flashing to a 32B anyway
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TommyPickles:
Found a bug: If you start camera the image will be 'squeezed' - you must start the camcorder app first, then click the switch to camera. Pics save fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TommyPickles:
I have a Google ION phone. 32B. It has less memory than your fancy Vodafone :|
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] davec26:
32 b buddy ok flashed unable to start wifi again :rolleyes::rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shingers5:
well flashed jac v2.63 on ma phone and it booted fine...........gmail setup and sync ok. rebooted when i finished setup and rosie loaded with weather and clock. bit slow to scroll but it comes and goes. slight lag but it is on and working! testing some more now but yes I HAVE JAC2.63 FROM G1 WORKING ON MY VODA HTC MAGIC!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] timmy1980:
I think ION and Vodafone are both the lower memory boards.. I may be wrong though..

EDIT: pushing wlan.ko didn't seem to do the trick :-(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TommyPickles:
Ahar welcome on board guys! :)

Can we please post your vital stats (Phone model, SPL, Radio, Motherboard) just for consistancy sake? To do this, simply reset your phone (home+menu+power) or do a full-shut down. Then hold down back+power to get to fastboot loader and confirm the top four sentences. Here's mine:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-OFF G

HBOOT-133.2004 (SAPP30000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

Also please confirm wifi is an issue.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] flyover1:
same wifi dont work maybe we could get in contact with jac he might help
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shingers5:
same as you mate

wifi is not working but BT is as just tried it. all else is working fine...........the myth is blown!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TommyPickles:
Flyover1: Agreed. And actually Fatality would know exactly since he got it working. But he hasnt said much in weeks it seems. So without trying to second-guess the system ROM builders, it will most likely be an issue with the /system/ wlan files contained in the update.zip package

We will need to swap out those files with working ones for the Magic model. I would suggest the HTC ION system backup found on their website: http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/google-io-device.html

Once we find out though, lets post it on the board. Get it stickied. And then get on with using the best builds we find, making it work for our phones... Enjoy!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shingers5:
music playback is fantastic on this build my god. hero balck is out soon but this is fuking great! wow is all i gotta say..............the G1 and Magic are very similar device so i am not surprised it works! i am loving it
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] goa200:
sounds like an awesome idea. and porting it from 32B to 32A isn't to hard i think
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] davec26:
ok i replaced some files and errr nope its still not turning on wifi by why not ???? its also not importing numbers
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shingers5:
bound to be a few slight differences in devices so there will be some quirky stuff. i for one am happy that it works but i will stick to the Magic builds. when bored though waiting for rom updates here i can always flash a g1 rom as i know it works! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] timmy1980:
Just replaced some files here and there too... ah well. I am not the only one not getting my google contacts then?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shingers5:
wow no lags...........instant! flash player standalone and in browser too. once wifi gets sorted for me this will be near enough perfect. contact fine so wifi only prob! nice work this

edit: call quality is very much reduced. had a few calls and other end said that i sounded mufled even if i had phone to ma face! waiting for hero black alpha to flash back to Magic spec rom!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Johnny5Walker:
If i remember correctly from the Fatal1ty build they where having audio input issues, i think it was resolved in 1.3 though. someone was using some sort of voice recorder and could tell. it will also affect the google voice search.

I have no Rom cooking experience whatsoever, but am tempted to try it out here.

do i need any type of compiler or anything, or just extract the update.zip and start replacing files there(as long as replacing files is all that needs to be done that is)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] joopje:
Just installed Soulife ION Remix v1.2.2 on my Vodafone HTC Magic with PVT32B.

Boots up, gonna do some testing right now. Ill keep you informed

I think no APN standerd

Just putted in a APN and i works right nog gonna test some other stuff like bluetooth and such
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] davec26:
hi test wlan i think it will be a prob again
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Johnny5Walker:
and with the bluetooth, i know you guys said it worked. but i know that its supposed to pair with devices fine in fatality's build but doesnt transfer anything, is that the case here or is it just working 100%
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] flyover1:
u have to be root to send and receive anyway and u need to get the program from market
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Johnny5Walker:
I also think by default that JacHero rom is setting the cpu to 384mhz.

and i was wondering about voice over the bluetooth not data.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] efenili:
This thread definitely has my attention :)

Im not brave enough to take any chances just yet but will follow your guys progress closely.

I have an ION from the conference as well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Johnny5Walker:
Either way i think im going to try the Jachero 2.63 rom tonight if i get a chance.

I have a pvt32a, ill try and keep you guys updated
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] D3NNY:
Guys this is excellent work. This is what a develpment community is all about. I'm first going to flash the new hero pure black rom and if its too slow i will definantly try a g1 rom. Lets keep this up!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gesv:
Anyone know the differences between a pvt32a rom and pvt32b rom?

Is it only boot.img and wifi drivers ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MontAlbert:
i want to know this too! wifi drivers are wlan.ko or the files inside system/etc/wifi?

i want to port across cyanogen's G1 build. that is so bloody fast on the G1. i can only imagine it on the magic..... tonight i am going to have a shot at it!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] flyover1:
no1 has sorted the wifi thing yet as fair as i know

but cant wate till they do would be good

Anyone know the differences between a pvt32a rom and pvt32b rom?

i am guessing 32A is the HTC build non branded and 32B rom is HTC magic (google Branded)

cheers Fly
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MontAlbert:
i find it amazing that these G1 roms run on the magic without any tweaking. I would have thought at least the boot.img would have to be changed.....does this mean we can drop the cyanogem highly optimised boot.img into any rom and have it work?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] davec26:
wlan.ko:) is here
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] davec26:
In my opinion yes it will work buddy but and i say but i have not tested this hmmmmm ok il go test it now lol ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Cheesebaron:
You probably need to recompile the kernel to get wifi to work properly and have the correct kernel module for it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shingers5:
i flashed JAC v2.63 slow sd before flashing hero pure black and it was amazing! still had issue with network signal but all ekse was fine......... wifi obviously wasn't working but all else was. i was very impressed with the speed and stability of the thing. also bear in mind that they have had longer than our Magic cooks to perfect their roms......... all in all a good experience! worth a shot when bored!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] joopje:
This build sucks :P sorry to have to say that.

Wlan is not working same as bluetooth. Looksugly aswhele.

Trying out other builds. JacHero is fun but still it's unstable.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gesv:
So if I flash a pvt32b rom into my pvt32a magic the only things I have to do is

Backup with nandroid

Wipe data

Flash pvt32b rom

Flash boot.img from a pvt32a rom

Push wifi.ko from a pvt32a rom

reboot

somthing missing?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shingers5:
right trying dude's cupcake rc3.2 and will report. should work well as based on android 1.5 with blue theme and new look! fun this
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] davec26:
Hi mate all i do is

[*]Wipe data

[*]Flash pvt32b rom:cool:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Killadude:
did u guys use swap?

So everythhing works, now that u push the wlan.ko?

EDIT NVM
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] davec26:
So everythhing works, now that u push the wlan.ko

No i posted that as someone requested it mate , wlan still does not work :rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shingers5:
right been using super hero v3 from g1 forum on ma 32B Magic all day and may i say that it is brilliant............wifi still don't work and audio during calls is intermittent. H signal full bars and bnattery life is amazing. been hammering from full this morning and only one bar down. now thats worth noting.... could live without wifi but audio during calls is a must so regretably have to flash back! very reluctantly i may add...........obviously there are a few differences in the board of the 2 devices which is causing the issues. i wonder if i flash the g1 radio how that would affect audio during calls? see how i feel later :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
This must be possible, as we have the port of superhero 2 that works...

Can you compare the 2 and see what files are changed?

Think on some of the Hero threads there is the answer for the in-call audio, else maybe one of the Devs on here could spare a little time to point us in the riht direction?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TommyPickles:
Before this thread spirals out into dangerous territory, a quick posting.

Do not, I repeat, Do NOT flash radio or SPL from G1 onto Magic.

This is the only thing that will brick your phone, in particular SPL.

A bit of 101 android

When you turn on your phone, the first thing that loads is the bootloader (SPL)

SPL stands for Secondary Program Loader. It loads first, and prepares the phone to load the system build

If you place a dud SPL on your phone, that is when you brick. This and this only* (I could be wrong, opinions sought here but please follow the logic).

If you fail a flash on radio or system, these can be recovered because they are loaded secondary by the SPL. If you fail a SPL, there's nothing to recover it because it cant even prepare itself for inital boot load.

So to recap

Yes, you can load G1 system builds onto Magic phones.

I would strongly recommended that you DO NOT flash G1 radio and especially not SPL onto Magic. This is when you will get into bricked phone territory

Even if this gets you stuck into a loop or crashes and burns, no matter. Boot into recovery, flash a new update.zip or nandroid recovery and you are fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TommyPickles:
Okay so what I've been up to: I have been experimenting with different kernel objects (.ko) within the system builds. As I'm not able to decompile them, or not willing to at this stage, not sure if it's much help. They all appear to be similar anyhow.

I am about to flash a build of my own creation to see what will happen. If it works I will be calling it xda-opendev and I will document what I did, so that others can repeat the process and make builds of their own. This is how it should be for all versions. So say we all :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shingers5:
totally agree about SPL flashing and would not attempt that. peops are bricking their phones flashing Magic spl so would not try a G1 spl. Radio on the other hand is different altogether..........worse that can happen it is that might not get a signal, system vol might not work and calls will break up etc to name a few. can always flash back Magic radio if not working properly
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] davec26:
hey well i agree dont flash radio etc lol i have made a file package to drop into g1 roms im just testing it now to see what happens first run was ok but i need to test it on 4-5 roms as it will mess up at some stage i just need to find out when and were lol il get back here and repot :cool:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TommyPickles:
Okay so here's the skinny on my testing thus far.

Moving the kernel objects (.ko) files around from Magic-compatible to G1-compatible does not work as it will fail verification.

The verification process looks at build.img (located in root) to understand what is in the system build.

In order to create a build.img you need to compile the system build. ie. Use the Android SDK. and let it index all the content (ie. the subdirectory of files)

Now, I could be completely wrong about all of this. Maybe I just made a too few many changes. But this is from what I can tell.

The silly thing is almost any ROM builder could answer this question for us and tell us why the WIFI might not be working. But curiously there hasn't been a response yet. I find it odd that people do not want to educate others about this process.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] davec26:
:p

New topic made asking the question sit and wait time buddy

:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
With all respect to the Devs who have created ROMS, I will say that this forum does tend to be quite eliteist and those who have worked things out don't seem overly happy to share.

Seems odd, as in the linux world where things are open source everyone seems to help out, creating guides, answering questions etc.

Here it seems the usual response given is 'use the search' trouble is all you get back is conflicting information.

IF the answer is 'complicated' it would be nice for someone with the knowledge to just tell us, and to point us in the right direction for once.

I have the feeling that Devs are leaving these forums, seeing them as too full of 'n00bs'

I've been trying to find a clear guide on building a custom kernel, which seems the way the dream development has gone (cyanogens kernel = fast and great battery life) but no one seems to have built one for a Magic?!?!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Blocky:
I like this thread :)

I am kinda new around here, but been reading for a while this forums since i thought about getting my magic.

then 1st day i got my magic i sucessfully loaded Fatal1ty's Hero ROM, RA_Amon's awesome recorvery image, and the eng spl (i have vodaphone branded magic, PVT32B). Unfortunally, i couldnt answer alot of calls due to lags, so reverted to cupcake.

This thread is a really good effort to try and fix this, but i also fear that the kernel might be an issue causing the wifi not to work (nor making the poor audio problem ?)

And about the Radio/SPL... DONT try to flash G1 SPL/Radio on the magic... Radio can cause a brick aswell.. if you will read http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=529326&page=2 you will find out that the Radio actually loads the SPL, so a bad radio can cause a brick even more bad then a bad SPL (the way i see it atleast).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Blocky:
i tried finding this aswell.. best thing i found is .. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=466487

i also read somewhere around here that there are parts of the kernel configuration that are closed sourced, so this might be the reason for lack of information/guides.

if anybody got a better idea please share with us :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gesv:
:eek: Have you done this on pvt32a with success?

I`m afraid to brick if I flash a pvt32b into my pvt32a.

Or is it impossible to brick without touching the SPL ?

Success ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] davec26:
Yep flashed loads this way buddy just flash them lol everything works with no prob wifi is the only downside:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] davec26:
i use 32b so will defo work on 32a :D:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
I don't understand why you would port G1 HERO based ROMs to the Magic... it doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Porting the HERO ROM to the Magic makes more sense if you ask me.

So... Take the original HERO ROM dump and replace all the parts that are needed from your Magic (like kernel and ko files). You can also take other stuff that some G1 ROM cookers have added (like busybox etc) and add them too.

This is in my opinion the right way to do it. This will work on both 32A and 32B Magics.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Blocky:
Well, i dont know everybody Else's reasons, but i personally think it will be double work, as the G1 Roms, are already optimized to work on 'slower' device then the actual hero.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shingers5:
having used 4 G1 roms on ma Magic i can defo say speed is not an issue. the roms are quick and reponsive and render very well. my 2 issues were of course wifi and audio in call. if i had those 2 things working i would happily use G1 hero rom on ma phone! i found Leaddroid super hero v3 a treat and if i knew how to change kenel and modules i would use the damn thing every day!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] co2gaz:
Hi, for me, I have used 3 G1 roms (with Sens UI) and I confirm there are verry faster than all magic roms I have tested.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
The reason why they are faster is that they are stripped of all extras... You can do this yourself too when creating your own HERO port...

The leaked Hero ROM is hopefully not the final production version so it's better to wait until a stable version (which doesn't spit out lots of debug info) is released before porting to the Magic or even G1..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
I think what this thread is trying to find is a bit more detail on the HOW...

Compiling custom kernel and modules is fine, as well as building the boot.img, it's just this is where the information seems a little 'sketchy'.

There are a few guides for the Dream, nothing magic specific though...

I would think a highly tuned kernel would give some benefits no? Like the cyanogen builds for the dream?

Have to say I agree on the Hero issue - final release isn't too far away now :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] feicher:
I fully agree and sorry to sound like my grandpa (everything used to be better) but over in the WM section of the forum you'll find a different spirit without any soap opera on whether cook XY is pi%&* off because of somebodey else claiming something.... I just don't care.

I'm here to learn and to have fun. This thread is the spirit I am looking for and was missing before...

Thx guys
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shingers5:
what you on about? have you ever tried superhero v3 or Jac 2.63 on your magic? these roms have everything in them - fully loaded and are missing no extras. they have them all - all the stuff which is being stripped from Magic ports because they slow **** down! sorry man but you are wrong as they have not been stripped.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bridgemill:
Where can I find these ROM's?

Is this ROM's ported to 32A?

Cheers!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Blocky:
These ROMs we are talking about are G1/Dream ROMs, you can find them in the dream forum section.
[General Questions and Answers] Spellie:
My touchscreen isn't working properly anymore (WM6.1, Touch Cruise). Unfortunately I can't hit the start-menu button to reach the settings-dialog to recalibrate the screen.

But I'm still able to open the file-explorer, so I hope to reach the

recalibrate application or

Settings Dialog (System)

through the filesystem.

Does somebody know the path & name of one of these binaries..?

Thank you very much..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Benny-Danny:
Hi!

I was wondering.. maybe this is a stupid idea, but, it's possible to use the xda exec as a digital frame, showing photos in slideshow mode? I know that are software that allows that, but my only doubt is if the screen holds lots of hours turned on (the exec plugged to the charger) without damage the display, over heating the display or something... it's possible?

Thanks in advance!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] asuled:
Use pictures and videos to open the folder where the images is located tap menu > play slideshow.. Plugged in or not it seems to do what you're asking for..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] -Jonny-:
A Universal with all it's power and functionality used as a picture frame! Argh! That's like using a Rav4 for driving a child to school!!

But seriously, I don't think it will do damage. Of course the screen and backlight have a certain life which you will be using more than usual. But then that can be as bad as never switching on my projector to save the bulb life!

You gotta use it for what you find it useful for! And I think using it as a picture frame shows it off quite well ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] orb3000:
+1 for this!

It´s better that this member buys a digital frame and donate his/her Uni to us:D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Chef_Tony:
especially since a universal from ebay is easily worth up to 120eur and a digital frame with let's say 7" is like 30eur storebought, bigger display and meant for that purpose
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] orb3000:
LOL

MOre than agree!:)

Hello there,

Which version of iGO8 works for the Rhodium?

I've tried various releases and still had not been able to make it work!

Thanks in advance

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] andrehj:
Look in many of the threads already here. In general, you can say that all the official PDA releases work. These are 8.3.2.64029, 87762 and 97313. (Maybe more). With these versions a very basic sys.txt (as supplied with these versions) will work, as long as you add:

[device]

sdcard_dsk_num=7

(It took me three days to find this out...)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] djstoffe:
I had problems getting mine to work also. All I did was a fresh install, nothing edited in sys.exe, but I replaced data.zip with a newer version and it seems to be working fine!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rbroudo:
I am ruining 8.3.2.93122 and it runs just fine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Teknishun:
Just to confirm it runs ok with version 8.3.2.1972 on the TP2 with these settings in sys.txt
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ChefChaudart:
In fact, what does it mean ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Teknishun:
I guess it's giving iGO the correct location of the sdcard i.e. disk number 7.

(I'm also guessing) The other 6 disks will be internal storage/ROM/backup ROM/etc.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ChefChaudart:
ok, but it´s strange as App looks for "Storage card"

[folders]
App="[i]Storage card[/i]/iGo8"

... it´s just to understand ...
