it is better to part your sd card. the recvoery from cyanogen is inside the rar file.

just do

fastboot boot cm-recovery-1.3.1.img

and then do it like in this post

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kingchris:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] co2gaz:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bufodill:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Xenn0X:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] co2gaz:
Hi, I dont understand what the utility of this thread!!

OIm on with the magic. Cant write mutch.

The cyanogen recovery packed into my rar-file works ONLY on 32B!

Dont flash it just boot it via

fastboot boot cm-recovery... (dont know the whole filename yet)

After that you can format and part the sdcard. All necesary things are posted in my last post here. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4175769&postcount=49

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Xenn0X:
this rom works best for me!

how can i change swappiness size to experiment other sizes?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kingchris:
The swappiness can be changed by edit the a2sd file inside system/bin
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Xenn0X:
so i copy that file,edit and push back via adb shell with sdk?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kingchris:
Yes. I use a app called notepad++ to do that.

the original value wad set up to 30. I changed it to 10 because this gives the best results for me
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Xenn0X:
fixed it, thnx. used remount and then pushed the file back:) testing some swappi configs. thnx
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paranoidpenguin:
So heres the one for the idiots:p:

1. you need this rar-file from here

In this file is the update-signed.zip with wifi working, so forget about that boot.img thing...

Also attached in this rar is the cm-recovery-1.3.1.img.

2.Put this image in the folder on your computer where the fastboot of the SDK (you don't have? get it here http://developer.android.com/sdk/download.html?v=android-sdk-windows-1.5_r3.zip) is stored. ( something like .../android-sdk-linux_x86-1.5_r2/tools)

3. Turn off your phone

4. Turn it on again while holding back and power button.

You are now in the fastboot-mode and you will see three skating androids

5. now go in the cmd to the location where the recovery.img is (remember point 2.?) and type following: fastboot boot cm-recovery-1.3.1.img

6. the phone will now restart and then you will be in the recovery-mode

make a backup with nandroid backup

7. reboot your phone in normal-mode and copy the nandroid-folder on the sd to your computer. This is necessary, because all of your files on the sd will be deleted during the partition process.

8.reboot your phone again to the recovery mode (point 5 + 6)

there is a console option in the menu.

start it.

9. in the cmd on the computer(tools-folder...) type adb shell

you are now in the terminal mode of the phone. You can see this, because of the # sign before every line (this means you have now root access... its linux...)

10. now start partition.

- be sure there is nothing left needed on the sd

- type parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

- type print you now get all the information about your sd (size and how much partitions...)

- for every number type rm 1, rm 2... this will remove the partition with this number

- for a 8GB do:

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7200

mkpartfs primary ext2 7200 7700

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 7700 7732

- for a 4GB sd do:

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 3420

mkpartfs primary ext2 3420 3932

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 3932-3964

- then type print you now have 3 partitions. make sure the first one is the FAT one and that this one have a flag

- type quit

- upgrade_fs

- reboot

11. Your phone should now reboot to normal-mode. Now you can put the update-signed.zip on the FAT-Partition of you sd ( on windows this should be the only one you'll see). Rename it to update.zip

12. repeat steps 3-5

13. wipe your data

14. make the update

15. After the update is completed reboot

16. Congratulations your phone survived

- FIN -

Hope this will help...

Is the super optimized Rosie.apk ( about 300Ko, see here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4072351&postcount=76 ) can make this rom work faster ?

dazvox, I presume you did this in Linux?

when I execute the perl script unpack-bootimg it tells me gunzip is not recognised. which is $#$*% because winzip extracts .gz

how did you overcome this problem? im running windows 7 here and i freaking hate loading ubuntu (third time ive tried a release, everytime im disappointed)

isn't it already included? I tried it with the version before - the one without wifi - doesn't seem to make a difference.

But I don't use the widget, rosie thing. I just want to have the htc features like multitouch browser with flash, nice contactsapp and a working mailapp.

By the way does anyone know if I can install this features in a normal cupcake-rom?

I read that htc-framework is needed and this is only in the heroroms
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxon25:
just checked android-sdk-windows-1.5_r3 folder and the recovery.img isn't in there.... do put recovery-RAv1.1.1G in the tools folder or is there a different recovery img for the android-sdk-windows-1.5_r3?

I see there is a recovery img 1.3.1, where do i get it or is it already in the android-sdk-windows-1.5_r3 folder?

Just extracted the JACHEROSKI_2_7_3-Magic32B-Ported found the recovery img i need, it goes in tools right

Have you installed the drivers for the magic? Try to unplug and replug the phone. Try to reinstall the drivers located in the sdk
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxon25:
how would i install my drivers again? cause when i do \android-sdk-windows-1.5_1.3.1_r3\tools, then i fastboot devices, it finds my phone, then i fast boot boot cm-recovery-1.3.1 puts my phone into recovery, i then got to control on my phone, then on my pc in the cmd window \android-sdk-windows-1.5_1.3.1_r3\tools>adl shell

This worked like a charm for me.

This ROM runs a bit quicker than the Fatal1ty Hero rom, but i've not done a lot of tests, plus I've got the lower ram UK Vodafone Magic :(

I'm not sure if i'll keep this rom as i'd rather a more responsive default ROM. The only thing I really want from this ROM is the exchange sync :(

Thanks, and keep up the good work! :D

I tried this method for the Cyanogen 3.6.8.1:

-I downloaded the update.zip from the dream section

-reboot in recovery mode

-wipe

- applied update.zip

- reboot in fastboot

- flash the modified boot1.img

- reboot

but my Magic (32B) stays forever in the VODAFONE boot screen!!

What's wrong in my procedure??

thank you
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dazcox5181:
the boot1.img is for jachero 2.7.3.

I'm currently running Cyanogen 3.6.8.1 rom you ask about, and just did same trick to the boot.img from this rom.

i can't upload it as not at home, but is on here somewhere i think - check the other thread.

If not, follow the guide it's easy enough to do.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] macsim:
thank you! I thought that boot1.img was universal for all dream rom on magic 32b
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxon25:
mines 32b vodafone.

could do with a step by step in detail guide.

i had android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2 folder on my main hard drive and i replaced it with android-sdk-windows-1.5_r3 was that the right thing to do?.

Im able to get into recovery with android-sdk-windows-1.5_r3 but just cant get the adb shell to run whilst my phone is in the control....????
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bufodill:
I've set up a swap-partition, and typing "free" in adb shell shows it's working.

What I'm wondering, is what the ext2-partition is doing, if swapper isn't there and told to use it.

Is it being used?

I love the rom, it doesn't restart rosie as often as the others i've tried without swap-partition, but it still does from time to time, and of course rosie isn't as fast as no-rosie.

Great work though!

Signing update.zip osx

Can anyone help I see a few have posted update.zips, I'm still having issues.

I'm on OSX, so windows exe's no good to me.

My process is

download the rom

extract the zip file

modify boot.img

modify files in system

rezip folder (either command line or OSX finder compress)

rename zipped folder update.zip

run this command

java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 update.zip update_signed.zip

all goes well

copy update.zip to sd card and try to apply in recovery (after wipe) and i get the update script not found error.

I didn't move or modify the update script in the zip, so whats going wrong?

i assume the file is signed correctly or wouldn't open???

never used adb before what state does my phone have to be in fastboot or normal
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kingchris:
if u installed the drivers correct, your phone have to be in normal or in recovery mode. than u can use ADB

if fastbootmode you can only use "fastboot"

you can do this all also on a therminal-application but there is to much typing for me :D

Look reason its hard to follow at times is because, their is one person saying type adb shell, now adb devices, so you must understand why people like me that are new to this find it hard to follow, so when we get clear detailed instructions, you might have less people asking the same questions.
