I would.. tried Cyanogen's rom, but found it to be too bloated (no offense to Cyanogen, dude rocks the rom scene).. this one is just pure Donut with root and Wifi tethering, and it comes with a Hero keyboard as bonus. I like it clean and snappy with no fuss. And it's build for the Magic!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
All the "issues" you mention are in fact HTC addons.

I'll most likely not implement them because :

- They are not open source

- They require a lot of HTC stuff to be added (framework, libs, etc...).

I think you should use a HTC based ROM and not a Google based ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pasor1:
Anyone can help me to add other languages ( Italian ) to this ROM ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vjb:
Thanks for the ROM.

My journey so far 3 Australia ROM->Fatal1ty Hero 1.4->Amon_RA 1.1.0

I like the ROM with it's speed which I guess is not much of a difference compared to my stock HTC ROM from 3.But I am missing small features of Dialer, Contacts or People and Mail from HERO.Like the smart dialer where you could search for the contacts by pressing the dialpad, People save contacts to sim and show only sim contacts,Mail delete mails select option for my IMAP account. Also the browser with flash would have been nice although most of the times flash doesn't work.Peep was also very useful with Twitter,Facebook and Flickr integration.But I guess HERO also comes with it's slugishness...

How can i help you?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Reported Bugs :

wireless icon in the top bar does not show the correct signal strength : I will try to fix it in the next release

Can't set the Voicemail number.: I will try to fix it in the next release

Can't get "My location", in google maps, to work using Mobile networks : Can't reproduce this bug, it works fine here... (are you trying it indoor?).

Suggestions/Requests :

CRC1 : OK, will be part of future releases

Phone numbers display without dashes : OK, will be part of future releases

Other languages : Will most likely never be implemented.

Louder audio settings : I'll upload a seperate louder audio file asap.

Better camera app : OK, will be part of future releases

Vibrating phone.apk : Tried it and I think it's not stable enough to be included (it sometimes vibrates while I'm calling)

Missing H (for HDSPA)/HTC Hero Browser/HTC Flash Player/HTC Album apps/HTC Dialer/HTC Exchange Sync Calender/HTC Always on Mobile Data : Will probably never be implemented because I would need to change to an HTC based ROM

32B version : Still working on it, will be released soon.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pasor1:
Where are located the language files in the ION rom ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Languages are located inside each apk.

You'll need to add the appropriate language to each apk separately.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pasor1:
I've this bug also with stock HTC rom (from TIM) , but only with some Router or Access Point.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wysie:
Amon_RA: Thank you for updating us with your progress/plans! By the way, the Phone.apk is stable for me. Did you try the latest version? The earlier version was made to vibrate intentionally every 45th second (45s, 1min 45s, 2min 45s) and so on. The latest one is exactly the same, but with that removed. Also, I think cyanogen made some patches/settings to it that allows the vibration to be turned on/off, and has already put it up on git. It'd be awesome if you could give it a go again.

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxqc:
Sorry for the noob question but how can I setup an Exchange email account on this ROM ?

When I go in Email, there is only IMAP and POP ..

EDIT- I found it sorry!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hakeem9:
Im experiencing something weird, I think I saw it mentioned by someone else in a different post - numbers in my phonebook don't appear to register with the actual incoming call or in the call log. For example, 1-310-555-5555 is in my phonebook as "John", but when John calls, it shows up as 310-555-5555. If I then change the phonebook entry to 310-555-5555 (removing the 1-) all of a sudden the call log version switches to 1-310-555-5555.

Highly bizarre and basically rendering caller id completely useless :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Fixed after upgrading to the latest version!

The H (for HDSPA) fetaure can't be HTC-specific...is it? Anyway, it's just a minor cosmetic bug.

I agree with previous wishes for a better dialer.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wysie:
PsyDuck: The better dialer you want is probably HTC-specific. I've settled on aContacts for now :).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xyzulu:
Dialer+ is another one I suggest you try..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hakeem9:
The OEM Rogers ROM has a far better dialer than the android version. It's included in the HoFo ROM as well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wysie:
Isn't the Rogers ROM dialer the HTC's one? :) I had it with my stock ROM (StarHub, Singapore) as well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hkfriends:
hi there

how can i change the dialer numbering format?

i want in xxxx-xxxx

thansk
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] star1977:
thanks for the effort.

this rom is fantastic so far! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] PremierITA:
It is useless for me, i need a dialer software like on Hero, do you know?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] msn0005:
Thank you for this Amon_RA! Plain and Awesome too!

Can you make a rom with chinese handwriting included?

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wjsturgis3:
In an effort to see if my camera problem (reboot on 2nd use of camera) was caused by any apps I downloaded from the market, I did a fresh install of RAv1.6.2H. I wiped Dalvik cache->wipe/factory reset-> install update.zip-> reboot. I skipped the google account setup and tried the camera. I took no pictures, went to the home screen and started the camera again; result->reboot. Then I restored yeaterday's nand backup.

I guess I'm stuck without a camera until/unless a miracle happens.

several issues with ROM

Hi guys,

i tried this ROM and it worked just fine. But then all of a sudden i got several problems:

- my alarm doesn't work - no ringing in the morning (quite sad actually...)

- cannot delete apps by dragging and dropping icon to recycle bin - just nothing happens

- after taking several pictures with camera starts saying "Insert working SD card". Works again after removing and inserting back SD card.

- i used to use Timed wireless to turn offline mode on at night and switch it on back in the morning - doesn't work anymore.

Does anybody know why this happens and how to fix it? Especially first one - alarm.

Thank you in advance!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
- my alarm doesn't work - no ringing in the morning (quite sad actually...)

=> works fine, I guess you installed some apps which mess with the alarm.

- cannot delete apps by dragging and dropping icon to recycle bin - just nothing happens

=> This never works on any standard android. You should install a modded or alternative home to have this feature.

- after taking several pictures with camera starts saying "Insert working SD card". Works again after removing and inserting back SD card.

=> Never had this issue.

- i used to use Timed wireless to turn offline mode on at night and switch it on back in the morning - doesn't work anymore.

=> Maybe it's messing with your alarm or something. You should check with the creator of that app.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] axels2009:
Thanks Amon_RA for quick reply!

will try to delete all these apps. Not a good option though. They worked fine with Rogers ROM (maybe except drag-and-drop - perhaps yes, it worked with Home++, just so got used to it that thought it worked all time ).

Both alarm and profile autoswitchers exhibit the same problem - they seem not to notice the time - say, if alarm was set to 7 am it showed at 7.30 next alarm today at 7am. the same with timed wireless.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Strange... are you sure that these apps are 1.6 (Donut) compliant?

Isn't the Rogers ROM 1.5 (Cupcake)?

Many apps are still not updated for Donut...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] simaom:
I have been trying this ROM but there's something wrong. I tested my upload and download speed and I got 61 kbps downloading and 814 kbps uploading. I don't think my HSDPA connection is working as it should. Any ideias?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] axels2009:
yes, Rogers ROM is 1.5.

Maybe the issue is really noncompliance with 1.6. It's hard to find out - website of timewireless is in chinese. Another similar app i used (timeriffic) now posted that there is issue with alarm.

Anyway thanks a lot! will keep trying...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Abrasher:
Nice

Nice Work! Please Keep it up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xluthor:
I've also noticed my speeds have dropped with Rogers in comparison to the speeds I was showing (on a speed test) using this ROM. The ROM is amazing for usability - I was using the official Hofo Rom but it seems like HotWeiss has stopped development (since Nov).

When I was using the HOFO rom I was getting really fast speeds (5m down+ - 1 m up)

Does anyone have any suggestions for higher speeds with Rogers? I would really like to be able to tether (wired or wireless) and do Skype Video conferences - This used to work really well with my BB Bold but since I moved to HTC magic I haven't been able to replicate the same stable data connection (upstream seems to be the issue) via wireless tether.

To sum this up... Has anyone else noticed a network speed issue with this ROM? Is there a Radio upgrade that would help?

Can someone confirm that even though the icon only shows 3g that the rom is capable of HSPA speeds?

Also, what would you (the users) recommend for a wired tether app?

Thank you in advance to the community. XDA Rocks and the RAv1.6.2 rom is amazing - Thanks for all your hard work :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wjsturgis3:
Not wanting to beat this camera reboot issue to death but it looks like the problem is present using other ROMs. See:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=609737 The problem seems to be related to power/battery, i.e. the problem goes away when hooked to an external power source. Anybody tried clearing the battery stats? Or could it be related to the cpu settings. Mine are:

Max Min

Default 528 245

Charging 528 245

Sleep 128 128

Pwr<20% 245 128
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Upgrade to RA1.6.3 ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Just disable Setcpu en see if the problem is solved?

It seems very likely that the camera doesn't work on 128Mhz...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wjsturgis3:
Amon,

No go, I disabled and then uninstalled SetCPU. The phone still reboots after the 1st or 2nd restart of the camera. Plugged in to a charger, I can restart the camera at least 10 times. This isn't surprising since I did a wipe and reinstall of your ROM and the problem still occurred with no other apps installed. Very strange.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alexanderpl:
I love this ROM, thanks AmonRa :)

Anyway, got this strange behavior with 3g. My carrier supports only 3g and for 2g connections it uses some other carriers towers. The problem is when i select to use my 3g carrier its ok, after some time switches to EDGE (2g) and I cant send sms anymore.

Anyone had this issues ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thematrix2:
Still no multi-touch support in 1.6.3 :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] richardmkovach:
Wifi causes endless reboot cycle

I get through all the set up fine, bet then i got to turn on wifi, the phone stops for a sec, then it reboots. It gets to the android screen and then reboots again and again and again. Love the roms, hope this gets fixed so i can use it.

Attempted to update to 1.6.3

awesome rom!!! GREAT Work~

I bet you meant to type 08-Jan-2010

LOL
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] typedink:
How can I save my apps correctly in my current 1.6.2 if I upgrade to 1.6.3? Ive tried to do it before but then when I reinstall like if I used Backup for Root when I updated to a new rom and then restored the backup some apps would say they were installed but they were not there and I'd have to factory restore and manually re-add apps. I am using 1.6.2 with the Black Droid theme with the advanced launcher, and it too has a backup for the launcher, would that work with 1.6.3?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
You are right, I forgot to update the wlan.ko file :eek: fixing it right now!

Thanks for reporting it!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Please re-download and install RA-IONv1.6.3G

Please re-download and install RA-IONv1.6.3G to fix the wifi reboot issue!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
You can just install 1.6.3 over 1.6.2, but you'll lose your current theme.

(Take a nandroid backup just to be sure).

You'll have to wait for a Black Droid theme with advanced launcher for 1.6.3 (installing a theme for 1.6.2 on 1.6.3 will cause FC's).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] typedink:
Thank you for the response! So nothing needs to be wiped then, just flash the 1.6.3 on top of the 1.6.2 and apps will stay there just not in submenu's anymore because the theme is not compatible with 1.6.3 yet, right?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] iB4STiD:
i just flashed a theme i made for 1.6.2 and it worked no Fc's, then again i didnt touch framework-res.apk, maybe thats why?

I have a question tho where could i find a guide to made an odex file for an apk, if i wanted to use the latest Contacts.apk from ChainsDD how would i made an odex to go along with ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Right (make a nandroid backup before flashing, just to be 100% safe)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] stian230:

Superb ROM and a nice feeling to run RA as both ROM and Recovery :-)

Just a question in case someone knows (heads up, a bit of a noob questions perhaps):

Ive messed around with the recommended themes in this post, and I love both of them; but I would like the "original" color/background on the touch input-keyboard - is this possible and if so, how?

Thanks for all your work!

That's normal, that's the kernel version, I didn't update the kernel in 1.6.3 so it's the same kernel as in 1.6.2.

Edited to add:

I did a factory wipe, I think it was because I saved sms and data using my backup for root, never goes well when I try and use those type of programs. Wiped Factory, re-flashed, all is ok I believe.

A question, Ive noticed that car home is not included in this rom, is it possible to add it manually?

Ive tried to install carhome.apk but it fails.

Is there a fix for this?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] RtOaNn:
you mean a MyTouch 3G?

yes, it will work with your phone but you cannot install this rom via ADB.

You need a custom recovery in order to flash this ROM. Get Amon_RA's RA-sapphire recovery 1.5.2, use the version appropriate for your phone which should be 32B.

Amon Master,

Followed your path all the way through to my first hacked Android device :

1. Goldcard SPL update (from 1.33.0010 to Eng SPL 1.33.2010 on danish HTC Magic)

2. Custom ION ROM (RA1.6.3, fastboot boot rom-flash with your Recovery for safety)

3. Themes

4. And now this, Recovery flash for max ROM-hopping for a while :D

Hadn't had a single problem, and loves my Magic even more now.

Thanks a lot!

Hi. I'm in Italy. I have a magic 32A. I would install this ROM. I have in my magic the original software: android 1.5 and th eoriginal SPL (I think).

The only change I have made is to install your recovery image: RAv 1.5.2.

My question is the follow: before installing this ROM I must change my SPL and put one modificated or I can install this ROM with my original SPL?

Thanks for collaboration,
