APN settings should be automatic, when you put in a Proximus SIM the settings should change the the Proximus ones at boot.

Go to : Settings - Wireless controls - Mobile networks - Access Point Names

1. Delete all APN's

2. Menu - reset to default

That should restore them back to the Proximus ones

What are the negatives to not having debugging mode?

EDIT: Seems like this disables the ADB interface??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magicdroid:
Odd.. it restores to T-Mobile NL..

maybe something to do with MarketEnabler?

edit:

yes.. it was MarketEnabler ;-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magicdroid:
Battery life is poor.. went to bed with battery at ~50%.. woke up with no power at all.

Installed SetCPU and reverted to default CPU speeds to see if it helps. Will get back with further findings (cpu/power stats, 100% battery lifespan, etc.)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] __max__:
I'm trying this rom and as of now it's my favourite at all, fast, smooth.. great job!

I'm wondering why there's a widget i bought some time ago, "weather widget" that worked well on the previous cyanogen i had and on this it doesn't work.

First time i start the widget it downloads the default template, then it asks for settings.

When i'm done i see on my home just a message that say it's downloading.. forever..

Any help?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] R.Salas Suarez:
such a great Rom, thnks Amon_RA...i have a question though, how do u use the QuickOffice ???
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magicdroid:
Battery life is much better with the max/min cpu speeds set to default values. It went from 99% to 39% in 17h50.. using wi-fi, some bt and a 5min voice call.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] __max__:
Tried today and it works now!

Maybe a few reboot has helped..

No doubt great rom, thanks Amon_RA!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
This is kind of obvious, less processor-speed = longer battery life...

If you don't want to sacrifice speed for battery power I advice the following setcpu setting :

General :

Max: 528 Mhz

Min 245 Mhz

Profiles :

Sleeping : 128 Max 128 Min (so you'll save battery when the device sleeps)

Power < 20% : 245 Max 128 Min (go to lower speeds when the battery is almost empty)

With these settings I can easily last an entire day while listening to music for a few hours, making calls and surf the web.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magicdroid:
ya.. kinda expected it to solve the crazy drainage... now went from 99% to 9% in 23h50.. nearly a full day =)

did not try the profiles yet... will have to look into that as well.. thanks for the tip!

another question for you (probably the wrong thread, but here goes anyway): the menu item in your recovery image regarding the "battery reset", what exactly does it do? and when should or can this be used?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Some badly written apps (mostly widgets) can drain stuff really fast when they ask full cpu speed all the time... I've used the rom in a normal state without setcpu and the standby time was fine (nothing crazy actually). With setcpu i gain an hour or two. It really depends on which processes you have running in the background.

The "battery reset" deletes/resets the battery usage database file that is used to display what you see when you go to Settings - About phone - Battery use.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] asero:
Thanks a lot Amon_RA for this stable and fast ROM! Also for your recovery. I must say this because I expected that you would make a great ROM because of your excellent recovery and I wasn't disappointed. You did created an excellent ROM!

I have a problem though with my mobile internet. And I'm not sure what causes it. I am being disconnected sometimes. When this happens, I select my network again, go to APN settings, select my APN, save then my connection will be restored. This is my quick fix for the moment. My friend with identical phone, network and location as I am but different ROM didn't experience this issue. That's why I think it maybe because of our ROM differences.

Is there anything I can do to permanently fix this issue? Can I automatically refresh my APN by using some quick command? Is there a way to clean my APN settings deep enough to solve this? Thanks in advance!

Hey can i use the google maps hack to get navigation outside of the USA with this rom?

email trash bin workaround

Amon,

You rule, I updated my Rogers magic to your 1.5.2 recovery and 1.6.2 ROM.

I'm loving it: fast and clean.

BTW the following contains a workaround for the trash bin problem:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] htcmagic:
My thoughts exactly. I made a nandroid backup and installed latest CM. It lasted 10 minutes on my phone. I was used to more speed and returned to this rom without any problem. Thank god for ra recovery and nandroid existence.

Merry Christmas everyone.

This is really the BEST Donut rom for our wonderful Sapphire!!! Fast and light! Thank you so much Amon! Waiting for a 2.0.1 !!!! :cool:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pelusagremlin:
Dear Amon_RA

Thank you so much for your time and notable effort on both RA Donut modded ROM and RA recovery.

I appreciate your hard work, and I must say that based on my testings your rom is the best around for 32B for two reasons:

cyanogen baseline is updating almost everyweek, seems unstable to me, what a mess with the filesystem bug, and the ringtones crashes.

dwangs is usable, but I personally dislike the hack in available system memory, in my opinion 3d games and/or 3d gps graphics are important to me rather than a little bunch of Mb's.

In a nutshell, your rom is fast, usable, stable and has 2.0 keyboard built in, is it possible to buy you a beer or nesquik, or even rum? hehehe.

Sincerelly I really like that, because I'm not feeling comfortable flashing my Magic every week, and dont take me wrong, cyano's work is awesome but It scared my last time in 4.2.10 when ext2 support was missing. I really like things fast and simple, and your rom does this.

I have a lifetime megaupload account, if you need mirroring your rom I'm glad helping.

Last but not least, are you planning moving to Eclair or a new rom anytime soon?

Big regards from Spain and merry Xmas!!!

PS: Think about the rum! hehehe.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pelusagremlin:
Oh, sorry I forgot one thing:

I'm sure that at this moment you'll know, but anyway may help someone.

ENABLING ROOT IN CONSOLE:

dunno why, but to properly adquire root privileges, you have to enable in settings>development>usb debugging. Why is this? (I have a shortcut in my device for my convenience).

I realized that trying to use busybox (htop, ls and console in general), when you change the font size or color in the terminal changes are not saved.

But, everything else works out of the box, your rom is FUNK!! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Admiral Ackbar:
So with this ROM do I need to install the google apps first (like you do with cyanogen)?

I have a new Rogers HTC Magic and I'm not sure about how to install the recovery. Is this guide accurate?

Camera causes boot

I installed this ROM about 10 days ago along with 1.5.2 recovery on my Rogers Magic. Everything seemed to work great until I tried to use the camera. Was at a party and the phone kept rebooting. It seems to work the first time I start the camera but the second try causes an immediate reboot. I searched this thread for an answer and tried cleaning the sdcard but still fails. I did a wipe when I installed the ROM. I have not tried to fix the uid permissions. Will doing this effect anything else? Any other ideas?

Any help greatly appreciated.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
No camera boot problems here...

Did you install a theme?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wjsturgis3:
Hi Amon No theme. Should I remove and reinstall the camera? If so how?

The only items I have installed are market apps. I even tried FxCamera and it fails also.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Strange... Do you experience the same problem with other 32A ROMS?

Could you quickly try the following?

1- Nandroid backup (so you can restore to this point)

2- Wipe

3- Reboot

4- Check if camera works? (clean rom)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] budtkr:
camera rebooting phone as well...

yo, awesome fast rom,\

the only thing is i have the same camera problem as above...after i take a video the phone just turns off and then back on... annoyingly have to wait 1.5 mins for phone to boot up and then take the next video....

what should i do!

matt
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] walie:
this camera bug is present in cyanogen as well. Maybe its an issue with donut
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] budtkr:
anyone know of a fix?

anyone know of a fix to the camera/video camera bug?!?!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
I've tested the ROM myself, both on a 32A and 32B and didn't have any issues with the camera. The ROM has been downloaded over 7000 times in the last 3 months and nobody mentioned having issues with the camera (except for a bug when the phone is set to the French language).

This makes me conclude the following :

1. You didn't WIPE data!

OR

2. You have new HW that is not compatible with the camera drivers in the kernel. This means that you should see this camera problem on other ROMs as well. Please provide information on the HW you have.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] budtkr:
more info

i'm running the htc magic 32a from 'three' australia..

i had another fiddle around with it tonight and got a sorry message normally when the phone reboots.... the message was,

! Sorry!

Activity View picture (in

application Camera) is not

responding.

Force Close Wait

what ya reckon...

everything was formated and done as per normal i think...

Camera still causes reboot

Amon - did the wipe-factory reset-reboot. Still causes reboot. Should I have cleared dalvik cache also?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] budtkr:
bigger problem now...

is my micro sd card...lost everything on it! tried 4 cards and not one work after i did a wipe sd (3 options)

the phone will save to the card but the computer doesn't recognise it when the phone is hooked up through usb....and the phone still resets when i open the video camera twice...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] budtkr:
fixed card now recognised in windows!!!

fewww... just the video camera problem now.... i'm happy.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
DATA is located the phone... why are you wiping your SDcard?!

The only thing you should have done is boot into recovery mode - Wipe - wipe data/factory reset. That's it...

Just for you information, this ROM doesn't use apps2sd nor does it use the ext partition or the swap partition on your sdcard!! This means that you should in fact just have 1 fat32 partition on your SDcard, no ext or swap is used... just like the stock rom!

I wonder if the camera app has problems with the crazy partitions on your SDcard...

Could you please format your sdcard just fat32 (as it should be used by this rom and the stock rom!)?

You do this by booting into recovery mode - partition sd card - Partition SD - Press HOME - Scroll the trackball down until swap-size = 0MB - Press HOME - Scroll the trackball down until ext-size = 0MB - Press HOME - Press HOME

Let me know what that gives.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wjsturgis3:
Amon - I've tried wipe and fix uids and camera still causes reboot on 2nd try. Only thing I can think of is to reinstall the rom. What do you think?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] budtkr:
fat32 card, still no video camera joy....

did everything..still resets... annoying..

matt
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] budtkr:
still no joy,...but hey ya cant have it all:)

but just let me tell you, your rom HAS saved my magic!!! the power and speed of it now compared to when i had the three rom installed is absolute lightning! all my apps run without any lag, bluetooth finally works with no hitches!!!

i ain't the biggest video/photo guru so the camera doesn't make me lose any sleep! maybe it might be mysteriously fixed in a new version and as i'm loyal so i will indeed eagerly await your next rom release(s)!! keep up the fine work man,

and if maybe this problem interests you i'll keep ya posted!!

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thebalkanking:
amon,

planning on updating to eclair???????????????????????

about time, no?

none of the other dudes that put work in are able to get it stable and nor the camera to get working, perhaps you should give it a try : )
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
As soon as Google releases an official Eclair update (with working camera drivers) for the Magic I'll update this ROM ;-)

I'm actually waiting for the Nexus to be released to the public so I can release a custom ROM for it :p

Not sure if I will do much work on the Magic though...

Amon, i've tried to set my CPU speed to reduce battery drain, but, after that i install "SetCPU for Root user" it say that i haven't root permission to set up my CPU speed! Why???
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magicdroid:
I'm volunteering to test your Nexus rom on my Magic ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] snudel:
i will try it as well.

back to the camera thing.

i also have swap ext4 and fat32 and camera is working fine without any problems.

this cannot be the problem.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Enable : Settings - applications - Development - USB debugging, reboot and try again.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I meant a custom rom for the Nexus, not for the Magic ;) The Magic is old, and it's time for a new phone for me.

Indeed, I tried everything and I can't reproduce the camera error they are having. Weird...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
One last try, could you please boot into recovery and run "Other - Fix apk uid mismatches"? Hopefully that will fix your camera issues....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alexanderpl:
Any chance you can provide additional language support like Polish ? :) Your ROM fits perfectly to my needs, there are no other 1.6 clean and minimalistic ROMs for 32A I can think of.

EDIT: From what I have seen now, You have been ignoring language topic, please say something :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] midtoad:
2.0 keyboard?

Is the 2.0 keyboard included in the 1.62H ROM? If not, where can I find it for download? Thanks, S.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
See point 9 in FAQ (first post)...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] linuxluver:
Yes...the magic is now almost 8 months old. Ancient. :-)

I might have to buy a Nexus One just to keep up with the ROM devs.

Or maybe I should put my HTC Magic 32B back on the factory load and wait for the Android 2.0 / 2.1 OTA. Judging by how nice and fast the And2.01 ports have been so far (even with ONLY camera and YT HD not working) an official OTA update to the Magic could be a very good thing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] budtkr:
will let ya know....

trying the uid fix now..... will let you know how it goes....

still no go....

it is not like the camera does not work at all... i can record 1 video and play that but when i try to go back and record another is when the phone reboots itself!

me thinks this ain't the drivers maybe?

matt

after playing around i can now record and play more than 1 video, it is when i press back or get out of the video camera app ( camera live screen), and THEN try to get back into camera that the phone resets itself....is this normal?

it works now as i can watch what i have just recorded, and then record another...just if i exit the program it goes tits up, so my theory is dont close the app before i'm done recording ALL my vids!~....

thanks amon...

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skittleguy:
I can attest to the camera issues. Problem is, it seems to be like this with every Donut rom I've tried with my Rogers 32A. When using the stock (or any 1.5 rom) this is not a problem, but every 1.6 rom seems to have this camera issue for me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magicdroid:
I understood, I was just trying to turn your words around for my own benefit :p

Too bad you won't support the Magic anymore, I was looking forward to having RA_Eclair on my Magic ever since HTC decided to stop upgrading the Magic rom.

Might as well get a new phone too, but it's barely 3 months old. Really a shame HTC are abandonning their customers like this. All HTC devices since the Hero get updated... RAAAAGE!!! :mad:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] simaom:
Would anyone recommend this ROM over cyanogen? Why?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Grantisimo:
Because it's written specifically for the Magic. Cyanogen's is written for both the Magic and Dream, as well as having the extra step of flashing the HTC ROM to get your Google apps.

On a side note, I noticed it's much more stable and noticeably faster than Cyanogen's ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] htcmagic:
Because everything works, and is faster. I have tried cyanogen after this and lasted 10 minutes. Gone back quickly to this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] stevetigersix:
Simply because this rom at where we are today is simply the best sapphire/magic rom even against the latest eclair dream roms it holds its own, i just hope when the official tmobile eclair rom drops with the camera drivers etc than Amon produces something similar with it, even though he has set his sights on the nexus etc just wishing he produces a final eclair rom for us 32b/32a users
