[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] limkoksoon:
a lot of ppl having the same issue. amon said maybe its operator problem. or maybe its the donut problem. not sure tho. when i was using rav1.3.0, everything seem to be fine... lets hope amon can fix it. this rom is superb..:cool:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bex:
Dont think its an operator problem, as you can see, cupcake has no issues with caller id linking. I suspect its an issue with the donut build itself. However, I will upgrade again, and use ENGLISH US as my locale, see if that will solve the problem. Will report further.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Can someone please try to push this file , reboot, and see if the number issue is solved?

adb remount
adb push libsqlite.so /system/lib/libsqlite.so
adb shell reboot
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bex:
Issue solved! I have no problems now linking the previous number formats! Stellar job Amon Ra!

I have a question though, is this a problem that you found in the stock donut build? Reason that I asked was that I had the same issue with the donut builds from the HTC dev site as well. Just happy you were able to fix it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Thank you for the link to cyanogen's issue tracker! He already did all the work to solve this issue, I just copied it :)

I'll implement it in the next ROM version!

Yeah, It's a problem in the stock donut rom ;)

anyone have any ideas on this????
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bex:
I have the same issue with the network and cell provider idents showing up twice in the notification area and in the lock screen.

I am thinking, you notice it when in a roaming area, you get the network that you are on, on top, and your sim registered provider on the bottom.

So if you roam into a T-Mobile area you would see T-Mobile/Rogers.

Have no idea on how to get rid of one so you only see the network that you are on.

My thing is trying to shrink down the lock screen size a bit...:)

I am having problems with increased battery consumption since I updated to 1.6.2. I have a 32a sapphire of the A6161 type sold in Scandanavia. It is draining twice as fast as usual and battery info shows it is the browser that is using all the power even though the phone has been on standby all night and no browser windows are open :confused:

Any ideas?

Many thanks for all the work that goes into this rom, Amon :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pdagenius:
Have a go with the Overclock Widget and change your CPU freq. I think this increases my battery life, but have not quantified this yet. I haven't noticed a particular increase in consumption with 1.6.2 but am trying Overclock anyway. I normally charge my phone every 2 days.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] unfnknblvbl:
I don't know if this is endemic to Android or just this ROM, but when I miss a call and my network provider sends me an SMS to tell me I have voicemail, it doesn't go into a threaded conversation. In fact, as far as I can tell, it deletes the previous message.

Actually, now that I think about it, I don't even get a notification that I received the SMS, other than a counter appearing on my Messaging icon, thanks to the SMS Unread Count widget.

...any idea?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
That's really weird, I don't have that problem on my 32a...

My browser is only consuming like 8%.

Did you install any new application lately, one that connects to the internet via the browser maybe (some IM,twitter,facebook apps)?

Can you check which apps are running in the background?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
It's the SMS that comes from your network provider that's causing this strange behaviour. That SMS has a certain replacement type and is probably a flash SMS. I don't think Android is supporting these kind of messages in a correct way yet...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Your network provider has probably implemented "Rogers" as SPN (Service Provider Name) on your SIMcard too. There's not much you can do about it.

Maybe ask your network provider to clean the SPN on the SIM via OTA :p

... When you are in Airplane mode your phone is NOT connected to the network, so it can NOT receive SMS.

When you switch Airplane mode off, your phone connects to the network again and will receive the pending SMS from the network.

So it's really normal that the received time of the SMS is the same as the time you switched Airplane mode off....

The behavior is similar as when you switch off your phone, SMS'es will also not arrive :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] evilmerlin:
Is it normal for the display to be utilising more than 50% of the battery when the phone is in standby (screen off)?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bex:
Having the same issue with SMS after VoiceMail calls, the iPhone had the same issue initially, but was fixed by firmware 1.1.3. Android team needs to get this fixed, its such an annoyance.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] marc_hav:
Android team ? In which world do you live ? :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bjtheone:
It really depends on what the phone has been doing. A more important issue is what is your battery drain like?

For example I have not been using my phone much today (@ 92% charged) and have the following:

5 hours 2 minutes since unplugged

Display 25%

Cell standby 21%

Voice calls 16%

Phone idle 11%

Market 8%

Android system 8%

Touch input 5%

Gmail 3%

WorldWide time 3% (a widget)

Google Apps 2%

My phone typically can last 2 days (ie down to 50-60% after a days usage). I only run a few widgets (Weatherbug, WorldWide Time, Pure Calendar, & AniWidget) which may help with battery usage.

If you are having battery drain issues when the phone seems to be in standby, check and see what is running and pay particular attention to any new, upgraded, or changed apps.

im having a problem with the calendar widget, when the phone loads up,"problem loading widget" then after a bit it loads fine, after a couple of hours use of the phone the widget again goes to "problem loading widget" out of the blue :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] metalk9:
It turned out to be the "Reddit is fun" news reader app. The app opens links in the browser, but something weird happens when it closes them and the browser runs in the background using a steady 10 - 15% CPU.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Strange I don't have this problem.

You do mean the calendar widget that comes with this ROM right?

Not any 3th party widget like Pure Calendar widget ?

Did you install an alternative homescreen, or a modded launcher, a theme?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bjtheone:
Just a note... Pure Calendar Widget works fine for me on RAv1.6.2H. A slight delay after booting before it displays agenda items but no issues after that. However, I do not have any themes loaded on top of your ROM. I am using the Advanced Launcher with 6 screens and heavy use of submenus... Everything is ROCK SOLID!

How to install this ROM?

Hello Amon_RA and everybody else!

I am new to the HTC Magic device... just bought it a week ago and it is TIM Mobile branded with Cupcake. After searching for a perfect ROM, I decided to install this one, because of Amon_RA's credibility on xda-devs. But there are no instractions? Can someone post some step-by-step instructions for a n00b like me? :)

Thank you!

PS: It's 32A and I have fastboot

Dont understand your seemingly angry comment, or desire to hurl your textual vitriol at my post, but my reference was to the "TEAM" of people working on newer android firmware versions to have this core issue sorted out. Is it not expected to have broken things fixed in the core structure of these devices, especially ones that cost 500-600USD? If not, I reply with your own retort, in which world do you live?

LoL.... i was wondering when amon gonna upload the latest build eh...*winkz*
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] The_Chrome_Coyote:
new buildz yes plz!~! :D

This ROM is rock solid! I have been using it since it was 1.6 and even use Advanced Launcher and Better Browser with it no problem. Looking forward to the next update.

The only problem I have with it is that its a real battery drain when in low signal/ interrupted signal situations. 12-16 hours easily drops down to 6-8 in these environments.

Has anyone used swapper or droidswap on this ROM? I know it doesnt use compcache by itself, but Id like to reduce the homescreen refresh frequency when exciting resource intensive apps.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bluekieran:
I've noticed a problem with this ROM that I've also had with other Donut ROMs - namely that I sometimes get the message "unable to start wi-fi", which can't be fixed by a reboot but IS fixed by deleting or re-uploading my /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf file.

I haven't (yet) seen this happen without my uploading a wpa_supplicant.conf file in the first place (I do this so that I can connect to my work WPA2-EAP network). I've tried cleaning up the file and making sure the line breaks are in the right char set, but what's weird is that it's happy with the file for quite a while before it suddenly decides it's not acceptable.

Thanks, I saw that thread before. The Qchrome skin is awesome, but I hate the keyboard with it. Any idea on how to replace it? I tried manually installing HTC_IME but it said that it was already installed and I could not uninstall.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] air2k57:
Here's the problem I am having though, as we all know MT3G has no physical keyboard. If I do it via Recovery console, well, I can't bring up the keyboard at all and the Terminal itself is kind of funky. Like, this ROM has Touch Input as the only keyboard and the Enter key does not work in the terminal :(. Thus, I can't really go back to android keyboard to do so.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ziokendo:
Posting this messages mainly to give props to AmonRA, this ROM (1.62H at the time I am writing) is superb on my TIM 32A magic, awesome speed and all the functions I need.

While the sense roms, especially with the official sense release for the magic, are going to become more stable and usable, after some days fiddling with them most people would just want to come back a fast phone: so I feel there is still a definite need for a well mantained plain google rom like this one; especially if you consider that android os will keep growing at a fast pace (think of all the awesome stuff in the next android versions, 2.0 ecc) while sense is 1.5 based and htc most likely is not going to put much effort in the future in old phones like the magic.

So: thank you!

p.s. : I don't know if this is the expekted behaviour in this Rom, but pressing the red button (hang up) on the idle home screen does nothing. On the original phone and in most other roms it will cause the screen to turn off and the phone to lock.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bjtheone:
You have something going on, on top of the base ROM. I have 1.6.2H, unthemed, and the red button definitely has the "normal" behaviour (terminate calls or shut down the display and lock). Most likely you have a theme, widget, or app doing something funky, or you have something lingering from a previous install. Did you do a wipe before flashing the ROM?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Amon_RA:
Strange, the red button does turn off the screen and locks the phone on my Magic (also a 32A).

Did you maybe try to change the red button behavior with the Spare Parts application?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anzorb:
Kudos tp AmonRA for another great ROM...

everything is great I just have one question.. has anyone managed to get pdf Viewer installed on this ROM, I know the ADP 1.6 does not come with one, I have tried pushing/installing pdf viewer from 1.5, but force closes.

I know there are alternatives but most need data for connection or cost $.

Pdf viewer is simple yet powerful.

Thanks in advance.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eltommi:
Hi!

First of all great job. I'm using this ROM since you released 1.6.0. And it's a loong time for me cause I usually switch soon from a rom to another one..so thanks!

The rom runs flawlessy, except 3g data connection. It works good when the signal is maximum, but it gots some problems with lower signal..it loses it..(and not only with market stuff)

I was pretty sure it was because of the poor signal when I live..but I'm trying latest CyanogenMod now..and with a few level of signal it's working fine..no data freezes, no "Try Again"s..

My question is: which is the part of android who manage data connection? Is it kernel related?

I'd be the happiest man in the world if I could fix it merging that portion of CM into your speeeeeedy rom

Sorry for redundancy and thanks for your eventual:D answer

My red button's working fine too.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] htcmagic:
Could somebody confirm if this rom has all functions working on htc magic vodafone please, wifi,bluetooth,gps,gyro,market?

I am asking because i have installed the Google ION rom 1.6 by nk02, everything works there but there is a glitch with the widgets, that stay stuck at the state they were created, and then they pop to the current state when revisit the screen, this happens with 3rd party home replacements open home, ahome,pandahome, and not with advanced launcher, default home or GDE.

I am willing to put this on if everything works.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ziokendo:
Thank you, that fixed it :-)

(it was set on "home then sleep", but it was not working, i just put it into "go to sleep" and it works)

p.s. : yes the phone was completely wiped before the 1.62H installation.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ziokendo:
I always thought this is related to the network, for example here in Italy on the vodafone network both the original vodafone 32B (both on 1.5 and ota updated 1.6) and the original TIM 32A firmware have the same behaviour with crappy 3g data in some places (infact i keep locking the phone into 2g), while on other networks (tim,wind,h3g) this won't happen at all. So I always thought this is not rom related, rather the radio of my magic is badly designed so that with some BTS stations it doesn't work 100% fine.

I am not willing to change rom at the moment, as this one is perfect (and cyanogen one uses app2sd, and i don't want that stuff on my phone), but let me know if you discover something :P as i am interested in this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] manom18x:

Could you please try to push the attached build.prop to your system and see if the lower signal issues are solved?

Unzip the attached file, DON'T push the zip!

adb remount
adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
adb reboot

Anyone with "low signal loss" please try it also and see if it makes a difference.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eltommi:
Ok, thank you! I'm going to try it some hours.. I let you know!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ziokendo:
will try for a few days and get back.

update : using the market for a while in low signal situations i can already feel it's a bit better, but it may be as well self-suggestion. random hangups of the data (and sometimes reboot of the whole radio stack with the "X" on the signal bar) happens once or twice in a week, so i will need to test for some long time to be sure :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Teletran:
Hello!

I just wanted to say thank you to Amon_RA for all his hard work. I appreciate it!

I successfully installed the RAv1.6.2H ROM as well as the RA-magic-v1.2.3 recovery image.

The install procedure was painless. I used this guide to help me out through the process:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking

There was one hitch. I am on Rogers and I wrote down my APN settings part of which stated that MNC was 720. After loading the new ROM and entering all the APN settings, the Rogers APN would disappear from the list and my data was not working. It boiled down to the MNC setting. The default MNC setting of 72 was the one that worked even through my original APN settings that came with the phone stated 720. Data, GPS, Market, etc all work wonderfully now.

Thank you Amon_RA!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] limkoksoon:

Install as you would any rom. copy theme to the root directory of your sd card. reboot into recovery and then scroll down to "Apply sdcard:choose zip" (assuming you are using Amon_RA's recovery- if you aren't, you should be), select this and then choose the theme and select it and install. once this has done reboot and you are good to go.
