Dude, we bought myTouch 3Gs which runs vanilla android 1.5 out of the box, not a Hero. All that we can expect is for our phones to run android 1.5 well. Not eVil, Reignzone, or anyone else ever promised us that we could have a smooth Hero Sense UI experience if we purchased the phone. Probably like you the only reason that I bought the phone is because I saw the work that the Devs here were doing and I figured that it would be easy to run Sense on my Sapphire. Obviously that is not the case, but we can not blame any one else but ourselves for being a bit naive and expecting to run an OS on a phone that it was not originally intended to run on. However, with a bit of work and READING, you can get Hero ROMs to run very well on these 32B devices, but it's not logical to expect an OEM experience.

Anyway, about your question. What is it you are actually asking? Are you try to set up CC and LS values (which is done in the user.config file), or partition your SD card. Since you mention Recovery and Ubuntu, I'll assume your talking about the latter. And contrary to your position that those methods, "both dont work", I can assure you that they both do work. The majority of people here including my self have used them repeatedly. I think its safe to say that the problem lies in the execution. Thanks to Amon_RA's 1.2.3 recovery (which according to your sig you are running) partitioning is very easy since he included the sdparted script.

All you have to do is boot into recovery, plug your phone into your PC, open a command prompt, and enter the following commands.

adb devices (to make sure your PC recognizes your phone)

adb shell

sdparted -es 256M -ss 192M (This will give you 256M ext3 and 192M swap the rest FAT 32)

Say yes to the warnings and your done. That's it, really couldn't be easier! Just adjust the values to what ever you want your ext and swap partition to be. If you are using a a ROM with A2SD and want to upgrade your ext3 partition to a ext4 then enter this command.

sdparted -ufs ext4

Good luck getting that Hero.

Evil, check out PAGE 200...I posted the links for the other widgets pulled from the official Sense dump. :D

Try 'em out.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shizzyraw585:
Sorry, to late. :D My bad!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hitman4485:
thanks again

all is well here in OZ...thanks again reign
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Good to hear. You're welcome fellas. I do what I can. :D

Let's continue to keep it clean in here people. We need to reserve these spaces for intellectual purposes in order to continue to HELP others. Agreed? :)

Thanks.

Don't troll in my thread or I will have you banned. Every post from you IS ungrateful whether or not you say. I didn't think it would be necessary in the OP to say, "I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU DO TO YOUR DEVICE". When you enter the sapphire forum, there are sticky's to help you. Shizzyraw is right, you just cannot expect an oem experience from a ROM that was not designed to run on this device. I think you should have thought about all this before you unrooted your device. This is the end of these types of posts. If you want help, you need to ask politely and give as much info as needed. I try to read every post, but I do miss quite a few. Sorry, I'm human.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nyne7lac:
I just wanted to say thanks to evil d and reign...

I finally decided to take a leap to a hero rom. I heard good reviews about evil hero so I tried it.

First installed and patched and it ran HORRIBLE...It froze all the time, all kinds of FC's. So i decided not to abandon it. After reading through this thread I have learned to set up ADB and partition my sd card (instead of using the recovery image like I did before).

My phone still has a few freezes and restarts...and it doesn't wake from sleep sometimes but I'm loving the ROM. I'll keep reading and trying to perfect my phone but I just want to thank you guys for getting me started!

**Edit** This experience also got me to try Linux for the first time (Ubuntu)...I probably check that out again on my spare rig
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
@Evil:

I've been doing a lot of research in regards to the Magic "Sense" release last night...and I must say that unfortunately the patch that you've provided from CC's release of "Sense Hero" is NOT based on the Chunghwa ROM version "3.03.715.4".

NOW; having said that...my suggestion is along the lines of "re-releasing" the patch, instead this time around using Eugene's Sense ROM as the basis. :D

I was around last night when he and I were downloading and ripping apart the RUU from the HTC website post...his work is as close to OFFICIALLY Magic Sense-based as possible. New widgets, Magic boot animation, all framework, Wi-Fi working, GPS working, optimized applications, Bluetooth partially usable, etc.

That would make for the "ultimate" patch. I'm not insisting on anything; merely a suggestion to keep your followers salivating at the mouth. :D

I've flashed his ROM for testing purposes...it's basically incredible; the new Sense is a complete overhaul from the Hero-based versions. Think about it; thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ahaveard:
Ok... So here is the deal with my problems that I posted last night in case anyone else is having the same... Rotate speed problem was because I had not run the setCPU app and overclocked the cpu yet. That and I'm running the stock 4 gig sdcard that came with the phone. pulled it out and wouldn't you know its a class 2. Going to get a class 6 tomorrow and that should finish up the rest of my speed issues.

Any word on fixing 0dex yet?

Thanks a million
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ahaveard:
Also make sure that if your running this through the adb shell that you are typing the capitol Y not lower case y for the warnings. Don't mean to sound so elementary, but I ran it 5 times before I realized it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nyne7lac:
I'm just making sure I did the right there here.

I installed the rom...then I flashed the updated BSF 304 sapphire patch.

I have my sd card partitioned with 3gb fat32, 400 ext3, and 192 linux-swap (I've read this is overkill but just went with it)

My phone is still running sluggish and it restarts alot...well it goes to this HTC screen and reloads everything.

I'm guessing its cause I'm using the sd card that came with the phone. would upgrading to a class 6 help these issues?

by the way...what browser is in this build. I LOVE IT!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
You're experiencing a virtual memory crash that is caused by that BFS-patched kernel. Those "random reboots" or loading screens will occur constantly until you apply a different kernel. BFS-230 is the patch you will need if you're expecting stability...otherwise; most everything is considered experimental from then on out. :rolleyes:

As for your partitions...check my signature; you'll notice that I use similar settings, just upgraded based on sizes. There is NO such thing as "overkill" for Hero builds. A larger swap space is almost encouraged when it comes to this ROM. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] danfozzy:
brilliant rom, flashed 3x booted it up, then went back to recovery and flashed 304 (57meg), fixed mismatches, had a few restarts, so i flashed the 230 BFS, and it works very well! only thing that i have is that once i wake it up from sleep, i have around a 3-4 second hang before it will let me do anything, other than that, i use cleanoid occasionally and its all good!

thanks evil for you rom, and reignzone for your help across the board!!

:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] CBreze01:
Yep everything you said to a T. works great just a 3-4 sec on the wake up im happy its just getting better and better Yeah Buddy!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nyne7lac:
Thanks for that info. i was under the impression that BFS 304 was the suggested upgrade.

I will try this ROM again once I get back to my computer. I still want to find me a nice class 6 sd card while I'm trying out all these ROMs
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fabulous691:
Hi all

I don't know if this is v3 or v3_a2sd_fixed which has a2sd....Plz tell me what this is,i don't know what means "fixed" (deleted, or included)

Thx

hey evil did u check theunlockr.com it said the htc hero karnel is going live may have a bluetooth fix and other missing files that with some tweaks could make faster?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Updates?

Damn Evil; you've been working hard boss! This is pretty exciting, especially that change log. Looks quite promising to say the least. :D

So, here's my question...did you re-up with Twisted's BLACK HTC Dialer?

And thanks for keeping Plurk; you know how I love that social network. Lol. :rolleyes:

I'm about the only person who submitted a formal request for that "back in the day".

Anyway, I'm eager to check this out...but I remain skeptic only because I don't know much about the difference between this and the previous "Magic Sense" patch you provided.

Any information; from anyone who has flashed this...that would be appreciated! Thanks. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
No dialer yet.

System dump provided by NguyenHuu (thx btw)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Wait; so does this include the HTC News & Horoscope widgets? And I assume this would be the OFFICIAL "Magic Sense" RUU (system dump) that myself & Eugene ripped apart a couple days ago when it released on the HTC website for Taiwan, huh? 3.03 build version?

And yes, Nguyen was all over the threads with me the other night (morning) when all those developments began. :D

Finally, are you going to be adding the dialer in an update? That would be spectacular.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Did not include news and horoscrope.

When I get the dialer working, yep.

Heh, remember BFS230 is your friend......
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Oh, and BTW:

KKBOX and Learn More can be REMOVED by creating a system/data/app folder and separating those specific applications; along with whatever ones USERS might want to remove without affecting the system stability. The folder that has the OFFICIAL system applications should be set into this folder:

system/data/app_s

THEN drop KKBOX and Learn More into this: system/data/app_s

The first boot-up process will initialize that they will be installed by default; but able to be removed by the user from the Applications Management within the system settings or by using Advanced Task Manager.

EDIT: This is the method that is used by Eugene and Maxisma. I've looked into both of their Sense builds to see exactly what they've done for those. Eugene has KKBOX ODEX'D. Whereas, Maxisma has it laid out as I describe for easy removal.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
You can remove mine easy. If it is in data/app_s, the user will need to use adb or terminal.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Yeah, I was just making a suggestion...you'd be surprised at the number of how many of your users that do NOT know how to use ADB.

Anyway; I'm just a little confused on where he obtained this "system dump" from. I'm going to pull apart your v3.0s and see what her guts look like.

If this was a Magic Sense based build version; then it should have included the HTC News and Horoscope widgets by default. Along with the Debugging Tool; and the HVGA boot animation from the Magic. (I know, I know...I noticed that you had someone provide a different boot animation.) :rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] yuanjin8899:
Good ROM! Could you add Chinese language(PRC & Taiwan) support? Thank you very much!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shizzyraw585:
Ok, just flashed 3s. So far it seems really fast. I haven't switched to BFS230 yet. Seemed really stable but then I got my first FC after about a hour. "Process system is not responding", followed by HTC music not responding. Booted into recovery, repaired the ext, fixed uid mismatches rebooted. Started up with the system process not responding. I closed it and seems like its running pretty good. I'' report back.

anybody having issues downloading paid apps from market..."download failed"
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Redglasses has Bluetooth working?

I've done a little thread surfing through all the Magic Sense builds...and it seems that Redglasses has EVERYTHING that should be working on the Sense stock ROM for the Magic. :eek:

Apparently from what I understand...he has BLUETOOTH at 100% functionality. That's impressive. LEDs are working 100% by default without third-party applications and the trackball lighting is completely fixed as well. Obviously, a lot of those fixes are because he works with 32A kernels and the 32A device. However; this could be promising for the 32B users. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
I have the paid applications Market fix...and I believe it will work.

Eugene's fix that he posted. Lakers also helped with that issue as well.

http://www.4shared.com/file/143342819/c1f5648c/MAgic_32b_APP.html

Give that a try...apply that as a patch directly over your build. NO WIPE!

i swear your like Confusious...always have an answer for everything...so wise haha flashing now....

i realized that i had downloaded root explorer (paid app) just fine after flashin 3S. for some reason it seems only to be bloo and taskiller that dont download. i dont know thanks anyways reign

It says failed? Weird.... I'll look into it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] IKoRuPT:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
LOL, I hope all that works! It IS for the 32A after all..... But, I'm thinking it should get us to a resolution with BT finally.

http://www.4shared.com/dir/21509091/ef2449be/Patches.html
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
This patch should resolve the paid applications issue. Eugene's didn't appear to work due to incompatibility and different kernel sources. Not to mention HIS build is based ENTIRELY on the Magic Sense release. I've compared the build.prop files and various system files...that would explain why his didn't necessarily "fix" anything on this build; but did on his. Lol. :D

Sorry folks. Evil picked up the slack with his own.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] IKoRuPT:
Still not working, but I flashed this update after flashing Eugene's fix. Would that affect it, or is it essentially overwrittng the same file?

It fails right after "authorizing credit card" by the way. I'm running this on a MT3G. Its weird because my other paid app (weather widget donate) downloaded fine from the initial install.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Damn...

Aside from all these reported issues lately; I think I'll wait on flashing this just yet. I'm still using v3.0x (with several of my own modifications) and it's been nothing but greatness thus far.

Sense is great. Especially because of the premiere of it for the Magic. :D

I'll flash this if and when the "new" Sense widgets are included & the black HTC Dialer is re-added. I'm a little too particular at times; but it's served me well in the past. :rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] epeets:
This rom is pretty fast but its only one weird problem I just had. I called someone (1st call on the new rom) and when my screen went black I couldn't hang up the phone. None of my buttons worked. Is it possible its because I flashed the latest without having the 3.0 rom on there before? I'm not sure, I'm just wondering why this happened.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadowleo85:
ive been tinkering in the build... and 3s seems to be wroking fine... but i did have a question for ya evil... 3.0 seemed to work flawlessly for me and blazing fast... but i prefer the htc_ime and htccontacts widget from hero 3s... i have tried to port them to the orginial 3.0 build but am not to sure on how to sign everything a lil insite would be appreciated... i got everything down i believe with the move...

never mind im just gonna start my own kitchen tomorrow and start doin a mashup thx for all the inspiration evil
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shizzyraw585:
Ok, got a couple of (inevitable) random reboots with 304 so I moved to 230.

It seemed a little sluggish, so I disabled compache and bumped up the swappiness to 80 and it seems like it's moving at a better speed, really quick actually. Excellent work as usual eVil! I'm still getting the "System Process is not responding" force close. A re-flash is probably in order, but I'll wait for the update with the black dialer.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
This seems a little too buggy. I've been asking around; there appear to be entirely too much issues. I'm yet to flash this...however, I believe the root of the problems lie within the "system dump" that is being used for this Magic Sense conversion.

I suggested to Evil that if he was to use anyone's work at all...to make it Eugene's considering I know for a fact (considering I was of some help) that his latest ROM based on the Magic Sense RUU official release from HTC. As his build is FULL-FEATURED and rock solid.

Evil's ROM is the **** without the Sense patch...just image him utilizing the FRAMEWORK, SYSTEM GOODIES, etc. from Eugene's files as the source of the Sense patch. ;)

EDIT: For those of you feeling "dangerous". Here's the BFS-304 kernel, patched with the Pulse animations...using the some of the libs from BFS-230. I'm exhausted, so if this doesn't flash...I didn't sign it correctly. My apologies if that's the case.

Bad Ring Delay

I flashed 3s last night and all seemed great until this morning when I started receiving calls and I noticed a significant ring delay. It was manageable in 3x, but seems pretty bad in 3s, sometimes not ringing until 22 seconds after the phone lights up. I notice that its really bad with forwarded calls, which is what us Google voice users rely on. eVil, if you think you want to take a look at it PM me your email and I can shoot you a spare GV invite if you don't have it already.

no a2sd. bfs304 is default. If you have issues, run fix uid mismatches in recovery. If you still have problems, experiment, but 230 is stable.
