Amon_RA, or hotweiss, have you looked at eachothers roms? (Amon_RA_1.1.0 and HOFO 1.03)

I've used both and from an end user perspective they both seem quite snappy, both appear to have significant kernel improvements and optimisations from more recent android drops, etc. Essentially they seem to be targetted similarely.

At first glance the deltas that catch my eye would be:

*Amon_RA first, HOFO second

google maps: 1.1.0, 1.2.0

office apps: SAME

Launcher: cyanogen 5/screen, 3 screen standard

Keyboard: HTC, HTC&GOOGLE

Dalvik: cupcake, donut (not sure on this)

Radio: XXXX, rogers

Additional Points of interest:

Amon_RA:

- Created odex files for all apk files in /system/app

- Stripped all apk files in /system/app from dex files

- many binaries from From JFv1.51, the benefit of which are primarily debugging/console application support/busybox etc?

HOFO:

- Other stuff that may be in the base nk02’s lite version that I have missed

That is a very high level and naive comparison, anything else that I should look at to help me decide which ROM to stick with?

Cheers,

Frank

As far as I know, the Ion ROM has one icon for 3G and 3.5G service. Since most of the Rogers network is 3.5G now, I decided to use the HSDPA icon.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Battery life. The Rogers ROM has the ability to turn off always-on mobile. Turning off this option increases the battery life substantially. In addition, the Rogers ROM has the HTC Exchange app which supports calendar and contacts.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] frankinmerth:
Ah so for exchange I should switch back to the normal HoFo rom, and not use this ION rom? As I only see the 'work email' for exchange mail in the 1.03 HoFo Ion rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Yes, but don't turn off always-on mobile, as it is required for Exchange.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Tom Servo:
The Rogers radio should work fine elsewhere, too, right?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Yes, it should cause any problems on any other phones.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lokto7:
Hi hotweiss, does this ROM include HTC CIME?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nalle303:
Just wanted to let you guys know that this rom (The HoFo Ion ROM [1.03] 32a)

Works really good on my HTC Magic (HTC branded bought at tre.se in sweden)

The only thing im missing is the swedish dictionary. But I solved that by installing the Scandinavian keyboard found on the market.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bjareboy:
Is this better than the other HoFo rom?

...and do you need to wipe before running the update.zip?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
No CIME, sorry.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I prefer the other Rogers ROM over the Ion version just because you can turn off always-on mobile, which gives you improved battery life.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxqc:
Battery is quite impressive for me using ION Roms though.

Thank you for your work.

I'll upgrade to this new version soon.

Just one thing..there's no H icon on hero version, just 3g and a user from an italian forum told me that headset icon miss too..

but I cannot test it because I lost my headset:D

could you fix it? would be great!

thanks once more and have a good day,

tommi
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Thanks for letting me know about these little quirks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] briggs81:
Any big differences with the Rogers radio file compared to others?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I really don't know. I replaced it because people were complaining of disconnects and calling difficulties. After I replaced I have had no complaints, but in actuality I don't know if the Rogers radio file did anything.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eltommi:
found a strange bug on this new release..

it switchs between G and 3G continuously (even if my net is only 3g-H)..

so Sipdroid goes crazy

downgrading to 1.04 and everything goes fine

i'm here for further informations if you need it
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Thanks for letting me know. I will make the appropriate changes in the next release.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bender2k2k:
Problem confirmed (DarkHero themed HoFo ION 1.05).

BTW it seems completely unrelated to the real network speed, as I have really fast downloads also while having just the "G" icon...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I will try to fix the Hero theme tonight.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bender2k2k:
Ok, thank you... I'm patient and willing. BTW, what version of the kernel are you using? It seems that the last gboddina has a couple of improvements...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I just posted version 1.06. It has gboddina's latest kernel.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Update 1.07

No 3G icon on mine

Hi,

I'm running version 1.07, but get no 3G or H icon on my phone. I have a Rogers HTC Magic.

I do have the apn settings defined. Can anyone else confirm is they're getting the 3G icon with this build? Thank you.

1.07 problem

Hi and thank for your work! :D

I used v1.03 for 2 weeks with no problems at all on my Magic TIM (Italy). Now i'm tryng to update to c1.07 but something goes wrong...1 minute after reboot, system hangs, stops working and reboots several times...can't do anything! :(

Do i have to install update in sequence (1.03-1.04-1.05-1.06-1.07)?

Anyone else got this problem? :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pmp.s:
1.7 update rom

so i installed the rom on my htc magic with rogers 32a but i have few iissues:

1-i cant do tethering with any app my pc will connect to the network but it doesnt get internet

2-market enabler wasnt working after few look up in google i managed to get it work by typing

su

rm -rf /data/data/com.android.vending/cache/* in better terminal

even tho it said failed but after rebooting it worked.

3- i cant see the google keybord i only get the htc one how can i install the google one? which i long press on letters and i get symbols number etc...

thank you vey muc
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pmp.s:
i had the same problem but i did a manual search on network and i unchecked the 2g networks only. hope that help!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pmp.s:
hi in the first link the rom is 1.03? but it says download the 1.7? so may i know if its a mistake or do i have to download the 1.07 from the specefic section? thank you
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Thanks for reporting all the bugs. I will have a lot of time after the 12th to make many improvements to this ROM. Yet, I don't know if this ROM is worth continuing when Cyanogen's ROM is way more advanced and working fine on HTC Magic's. Let me know if you want me to continue fine tuning this ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxqc:
That's a good question... I really liked this ROM when I was using it but maybe it's time to end it, I dont know ... It must ask a lot of time on your side... Amon_RA ION Rom is really good too... You know ...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ruffneckc:
@hotweiss

Yah, maybe end it and focus on Official HoFo Community ROM :D

Besides, Cyanogen's ROM has issues with calender syncing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cbaltzer:
You've done a great job with this, but Cyanogens rom has all this stuff and more, plus more active development. Personally, I think your talents would be better put to use on the HoFo rom!

@ruffneckc I have no calendar problems on Cyanogens (4.0.2)..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Update 1.08

- updated to the latest TigerTael kernel, now with BFS

- updated WLAN driver

- updated dalvikvm to the 2.1 JAC version

- updated MarketEnabler to version 3.0.2

- updated Loccy's Better Browser to version 1.4.2

- you will get a Google Gears error the first time you open your Browser due to the kernel update one time

- I will not be providing updates for the themed versions any more

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] apacheo:
Sorry for asking a dumb question, but I'm still experimenting with ROMs.

For the end user.. what's the major difference(s) between this (the HoFo ION rom) and the other HoFo Community rom), apart from the ION one being faster?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Better Exchange support in the HoFo, better battery life in the HoFo because of the ability to turn off always's on mobile, and a better camera app.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jolt2000:
HoFo Ion Donut 1.6 upgrade?

Are there any plans for this rom to upgrade to Donut 1.6? Or should I stop waiting and jump to an alternative rom? Suggestions appreciated!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] walie:
go for amon_ra or cyanogen
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jolt2000:
thanks for the suggestions, i had a look at cyanogen it looks good.

but i now hear from weiss that he is waiting on the rogers release, i have no idea how far away that is, but i may wait a bit longer as i just love how rock solid this rom is.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jolt2000:
I got tired of waiting for this rom update so I installed cyanogenmod and I love it so far. It took a fair bit of reading and backing up first to be safe but in the end it was dead easy. Just do your homework and its worth it. Its awesome all the work everyone does on these roms. And android just rocks it has made my life much easier to organise.

Hi,

I am using a java mail client which handles encrypted mails. Its a bit slow so I wonder which ROM is supposed to have the best java performance or if there is a way to improve the java performance of my Dutty WM 6.5 R9 ROM by installing another JVM?

BR, Jens

It seems that you are already using the fastest (in general) JVM, that is JBed build 2009XXXXX. There is not much you can do...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Thorgils:
Hi guys I've got a HTC Ignito and Id like abit of advice the touch screen on my phone seems to be acting up as u can press on the left hand side and it will detect pressure but only the top and bottom 5mm will work properly the rest it will activate what is on the opposite side or will do nothing.

when Ive tried to calibrate the screen it just constantly repeats the calibration process non stop but if you do a hard reset it will start working properly but as soon as you reset phone it messes up again.

Any one any ideas is the touch screen broken or is it another problem its got the stock rom on it

Sorry for the bad structore of post feeling abit tired as been up for hours annoyed at my phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] axelpix:
I noticed a simmilliar issue starting a couple of weeks ago. Looks like the X-axis of the digitizer starts to die. In my case it only detects touches in Y direction, but not in X.

So far it only appeared under hot condition like sunlight or constantly running device in craddle. After cooling down it always came back to normal behaviour (so far)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Thorgils:
Cheers bud for the reply. Its weird tho as its same as yours as it will detect the Y axis movemnt as when i hadnt hardrest it you could minamise the clock but that was it. Simalar problem happened to my grandads orbit and acted like urs then got progressivly worse over a few months.

I wonder if anybody knows if it would be sortedby getting a new touch screen.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dee Touch:
HI...

Hopefully we are not the only ones... But yeah my MDA Compact (Diamond on T-Mobile UK) is doin the same thing. Like you guys, mine has staterd to get worse, before it was just a few edge icons that i could'nt press..but now sometimes pressing the screen anywhere does nothing, all i can do is scroll up or down.

Axelpix... you make a good point about temp...mine gets quite warm when charging on the USB. I will try to see if this is causing the problem.

Any info on fix would be greatly welcomed.

PS i'm running the Windows 6.5 Energy ROM. 14/07/2009
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Thorgils:
Hi guys least im not alone I think the only way to fix this problem might be to replace the touchscreen im just looking to see how much it would cost to buy a new one and if its easy to just replace the screen or if it comes attached to the lcd screen like on the orbit

First post here and hope to contribute.. here is a new today interface from the MOTO SURF A3100 which is a windows mobile qvga device . This today UI is the new version of the original moto homescreen that are usually seen. Here is a cab to get this great today interface on any qvga touchscreen. Has been test on the A3100 and also the diamond 2 even though its not qvga..so try it out and let me know on what devices this works well with.

*instructions*

Install cab on device and your good to go .if installed on sd card it will crash if you have it plugged into mass storaged. but do so if you like.. just as long as you dont use mass storage. plz let me know your feedback.

screen shots are attached.features: tabs that you can slide through like the Touch diamond and you can customize the order or remove tabs. Has a drop down menu where you can can add fav apps on there.o ya forgot to mention about incoming text, or a missed call... pretty much any notification is showed on the top of the bar. You should be able to show clock and calendar by going to settings from the drop down menu and scroll all the way down and you can turn them on

enjoy:) btw it not in chinese it works with any language your device uses. THX TO DIOXDA FOR UPDATING AND FIXING RSS

also I and the rest of MOTO surf a3100 users need you guys help. We are in desperate need of an english rom wich motorola has not released, just chinese roms are available. If anyone can help make this english rom pls pm me or post on this thread. Here are my dump files from my ENGLISH MOTO SURF A3100 http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=a0278f209190331800d27174b47c6657375d4970c01134f4ce018c8114394287

Successfully tested on HTC Diamond. The only trouble that appears to be, is when you go into de built in photo viewer, then exit and the bottom bar is resized to 240*320, which is the original resolution of the app, (it appears blurred on Diamond´s 640*480 screen)

p. s.

1.	It will consume around 5 to 6 MB storage memory…

2.	It eats up around 6 to 7 MB program memory ….

3.	It takes about 55 seconds to load @ the first time .................

4.	Tested on my Prophet wwe 20755 M2D wm6.1 rom,

5. WORKS GREAT~~

Opening default calender

Hi,

I have one question that is the same for all Today/home screen applications.

If you replace the built in calender (or the complete PIM package) with something else, like for me with PocketInformant, you can´t open the calender when clicking on the appointment field or selecting calendar.

Is it so hard to call the selected PIM instead of the built in Calendar?

It works great if you just use the old-school Today screen, and press Calendar.

It´s a bit like opening the default internet browser instead of always opening IE...
