[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
I tested out the new build.prop (which actually contains the same ril settings as Cyanogen's) while driving on my way to work and it makes things worse for me (high speed network here). Speed is slow and it takes ages for it to switch from 2G to 3G or connect to a data-network. In overall I was without data network most of the time. I guess it's suited for those ancient 3G networks but not for hsxpa networks. I'll keep it as a patch for those who have issues but I wont include it in my next rom. Switching back to my old build.prop myself.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ziokendo:
The fact is slow and laggy in switching from 2G to 3G could be considered an advantage for me, infact inside the old buildings with thick brick walls you get a very low 3G signal and good 2G signal (because the 900mhz are more suitable to reach those location than the 2.4ghz) - especially in the low floors - so the fact the phone keeps switching is bad in those situations, you're never able to get a decent flow and you need to lock to 2G networks.

This patch seem to improve the situation a bit, although I am not 100% sure, I need to test it for a few days.

Anyhow, I live in Milan(IT) at the moment, so it's not like the 3g network is particularly ancient, I mean we get 7hsdpa+2hsupa in the whole city and some carriers are rolling out 14.4mbit hsdpa in a while ... The fact is you have to consider your usage pattern, like how's the signal where you live/work, if you hop frequently on and off the undeground, and so on ...

Then I have noticed that - at least in my case - the problem occurs only on VodafoneIT network, while on the other 3 carriers here in my country you haven't got the problem, so it may as well be just an issue of the BTS, like they're tweaked in a different way (or they're just not tweaked); so I defintely see where you're coming from when you say this could be useful only for "old" networks. This could as well means "badly compatible with this phone" for some reason.

Seems reasonable to me, thank you for the efforts :-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Ok, some radio interface settings you can "play" with :) :

(Change them in the build.prop file)

Settings of the patched version (same as Cyanogen's):

ro.ril.hsxpa=1
ro.ril.gprsclass=10

My current settings :

ro.ril.hep=1
ro.ril.hsxpa=2
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=8
ro.ril.enable.a53=1
ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eltommi:
I haven't found your speed issues yet. I just tried to download "Armadillo" (4.10mb) and it have downloaded it in less than a minute..

And with the poor signal I find when I work..well it's not that bad!

I'll keep testing it but it seems that config is fine for 3 Italy network

Just a question..

which are the lines of build.prop you changed?

just these?

I'd like to know it..for future uses :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
ro.ril.hep=1 => Removed, so default will be used.

ro.ril.hsxpa=2 => Changed to ro.ril.hsxpa=1

ro.ril.enable.dtm=1 => Removed, so default will be used.

ro.ril.gprsclass=12 => Changed to ro.ril.gprsclass=10

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=8 => Removed, so default will be used.

ro.ril.enable.a53=1 => Removed, so default will be used.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ziokendo:
the default values (cyanogen default "less aggressive" settings) seems more stable anyway, so i think i will keep them.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eltommi:
too nice, thank you
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KronicAnarchy:
Sorry if this question was already asked/answered, I tried to look through the thread but 88 pages is a lot of stuff to read. Anyway, does this ROM require a partitioned SD card or will it work with just the standard FAT32, I've got the MT3G and I don't really want or need the ext. I've been switching back and forth between this ROM and DWANG I think this one has a slight edge in smoothness but I like that DWANG doesn't require the partitioned SD. There's just NO SUPPORT theme wise for that ROM, maybe you could look into this Albert (please) :D

Thanks all for the help
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] regunus:
nope. no partition is required. you can use your SD as FAT32 with now swap and/or ext2 filesystems
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KronicAnarchy:
Thanks regunus, I'll give this one another go then. Can't seem to make up my mind, DWANG just came out with 1.10 too which looks good. Decisions, decisions.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] regunus:
Well, I haven't used Dwang's rom. RA's didn't give me any trouble/bugs (or every bug I found was fixed by Amon) so I'm not in the mood of changing ROMs :cool::cool::D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BBNuno:
Hi!

Can someone tells me how to install HTC Sync on this rom?

I already try to install these two PCSII.apk Sync.apk but get an error.

I think its because this file PCSCII.odex but I dont know how to install it...

Can someone help?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alinafia:
thanks for the build.prop.. now my connection is back to normal..

youtube can watch in hd.. btw.. mine is hsdpa connection..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bjtheone:
<sigh> I am an idiot... I did not do a Nandroid backup before pushing the new build.prop and it seems slightly worse for me. In marginal areas (like my house at the edge of town) I am seeing more failures, especially when using Market. I would like to switch back to the old settings without having to reflash the ROM and resetup everything.

Any chance of posting the old build.prop file?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wysie:
bjtheone: Actually you can just dl the ROM and get it from there, but I've uploaded it for you :P. Unzip it first.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bjtheone:
Reply thanks for the file and the info! I did not know it was a standalone file in the ROM... just went and looked and low and behold there it is in /system... :-)

I was assuming that it was a set of parameters buried deep in the bowels of the kernel, that build.prop modified. Having made that leap of logic I was not sure what just modifying the new build.prop file would do. Linux I get, phone RTOS's not so much so and mucking with network parameters seemed like a great way to totally hose my phone... :-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nivram13:
I'm getting random reboots 2-3 a day on the phone when it's not doing anything, anyone else had this problem or any idea where to start trouble shooting??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
I didn't notice random reboots... running for days without a single reboot.

It's probably related to non-donut compatible software you installed.

Try uninstalling widgets and software that runs in the background.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] limkoksoon:
amon, when r u gonna release sense ui eh?? i'm very impatience.. :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
I'm not going to release it, it contains the HTC framework (which is not open source) etc...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
This ROM is not using the HTC-framework... so HTC Sync will not work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] slashbeast:
Can anyone compare cyanogenmod and this RA rom? I don't want to start any flamewars but I just want to know what special have this rom and dont have CM or... what rom is faster.

Also, can I ask why this rom _don't_ have MT support and why you dropped CM kernel sources?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] htcmagic:
Thanks for this rom is very fast.

I have installed this rom, checked everything and works-wifi, gps, bluethooth pairing with car.

There is one thing that i don't know how to fix and it happens on home replacements openhome, pandahome,ahome.

When you create a widget say the analogue clock and it says 5:00 pm. Then you flick through other pages and wait a bit say until it becomes 5:05 pm. When you return to the screen, you put originally the clock widget, the widget momentarily shows 5:00 pm and then the minute hand jumps to the correct 5:05 pm.

I don't know whether this is because the home replacements haven't updated their code to work correctly with donut or there is something wrong with my rom.

On the default home screen or advanced launcher everything works fine.

Any help would appreciated
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wysie:
I had this issue recently, and have been trying to find out which app is doing that. Even weirder, the reboot starts from the "Android" logo, not the HTC Magic one. It's as though the kernel or some other major component crashed. Anyway, I thought it was GDE at first, then Toggle Settings, but turned out to be neither. I removed Pure Calendar Widget and it's been running fine with no reboots for the past 9 hours. Please PM me if you find out which app it is as well. For now I'm relatively sure it's Pure Calendar.

Amon: Sorry for the OT.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nivram13:
Im sure it is the calender as it will sometimes fail to load, i have removed it and will monitor thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nivram13:
Okay I noticed a reboot occur when the device was trying to connect to WiFi during the aquiring and IP process. May be coincidental I dont know.

Like others that have reported, my Magic crashes and reboots whenever i try to use the camera, has there been any fix for this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wysie:
nivram: Install log collector, and if you're home have the cable reader :P. Once it reboots do a logcat or quickly use log collector and you may be able to get more info.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MontAlbert:
works perfectly for me.... try and get a logcat of it....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Super Jamie:
Random reboots seems to be a Donut thing, or as Amon_RA said perhaps some software which is not Donut compatible. It happened very rarely to me (maybe once every week or two) on nk02's Donut too. I'm running Adv Task Manager widget, some Better Cut shortcuts to direct call/msg people, Scrobble Droid and Better Keyboard.

The camera works perfectly fine for me, in both the original camera app and others like ToyCam and FxCamera. Is there anything I can do to help identify the problem?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bjtheone:
Bluetooth confusion

Want to verify my understanding of bluetooth support. As I understand it the bluetooth stack is limited to supporting headsets (basically A2DP profile) and not OBEX FTP & OPP profiles? However, there may be 3rd party software that adds in FTP and OPP.

My bluetooth headset works fine with the phone. The phone sees my netbook, tries to connect, generates that *&%&^$# 6 digit PIN (what a treat to type that in fast enough), and gets to a point when it claims to be "Paired but not connected", but I cannot send files to the phone from the netbook, not can I send or receive from the phone, using Medival Bluetooth File Transfer". I can find some posts claiming that this does work and others that it does not.

What I am trying to sort out is that is it a ROM issue (ie will work with a different ROM), a bluetooth stack issue (does not work with 1.6), or a config issue with my netbook (running Ubuntu 9.10). The netbook connects just fine to my mouse and headset, and certainly can see the phone in discovery mode , and now lists the phone under discovered devices (T-Mobile myTouch 3G).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wysie:
I understand that cyanogen is working on implementing this: http://i-miss-erin.blogspot.com/2009/10/android-bluetooth-ui-application-from.html

Perhaps Amon can take a look at it? :D

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Super Jamie:
Have a look in Market for "Androbex" and "Bluetooth File Transfer".

The app linked above looks much nicer though.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] walie:
sure, if i only knew how, any guides on how to do it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wysie:
Walie: Easy way is to install log collector from the market, and run it the moment camera crashes.

Dear all,

I just installed this new ROM, and I'm very satisfied, but when I start up the phone I get some errors:

1. Sorry! Application Voice Recorder (in process com.tokasik.android.voicerecorder) is not responding.

2. Sorry! The proces andoid.process.ancore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

...

And when I want so send email from email app., they wont go from Outbox, I've checked outgoing settings and they are all OK, the test is ok, but wont send?

In anybody knows how to fix it, please help!

Thank you and kind regards,

Jure
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wysie:
bozick: The voice recorder error happens for me since I updated Voice Recorder, I don't think it has anything to do with the ROM. Did you mean acore instead of ancore? If so, please remove your widgets, I'm sure some of them are not Donut compatible. Regarding the Gmail problem, try going into Settings, Applications, then Manage Applications. Find Gmail, select it and Clear Data. Gmail will "lose" all current data and resync. Then try again :).

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering if you know which core files from the rom are responsible for updating the widgets state. Maybe i will push them again and reboot to see or check whether they update on adb logcat.

I used dxtop, advanced laucnher, GDE,stock launcher and they work.

Ahome,open home,ahome mini, pandahome, widgets are fidgeting and then display corrent state.

May have been posted, but just want to confirm that a number of apps from the Motorola Sholes (2.0) work on Donut roms, including this (RAv1.6.2).

I've got a Black HTC Magic 32A (Vodacom).

After a full week of intensive use, I'm pretty confident that this ROM is bug free. The only thing I haven't fully tested is Bluetooth - I've paired to my laptop but that's about it. LEDs, trackball, vibration, camera, tested apps (including wi-fi tether) and call quality all seem fine. Battery life seems no worse than the stock ROM either.

I seem to remember reading that this ROM didn't support the glowing trackball? Maybe it started working after I installed Handcent SMS? I should test this...

I've tried the Rogers HoFo and MyHero ROMs, but I'm really happy with this Donut build. Universal search is great as are some of the other tweaks.

Thanks Amon_RA!

i have a question regarding this rom/build. In 1.5, and in HERO, there is an option to disable all data connection so that i dont have the 3G,H,E icons next to the signal indicator, the reason i want to do this is obviously to save battery, and roaming costs. On HERO it was called On Mobile Network i think, and 1.5 it is called Enable always on mobile, i just cant seem to find it on 1.6, it was under wireless in the other roms.. any one know?
