kool thanx. Man your fast at updating :)

btw love our roms , all way fast and smooth.

If i have your 3.0 rom, do i need to wipe/repartition/wipe again then flash new Rom?

Or what do i need to do?

Thanx in advance
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Just wipe and flash.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] chuchito183rd:
Hey evil you say use the task manager you packaged in the Rom but I don't seem to find it name please or location ..evil the phone is really acting up freezing lagging,for
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
It's called Advance task manager. Flash BFS230. It's actually STILL super fast, which surprised me. Looks like the Sense build doesn't scale much with BFS. I think 304 might be too fast for it.

I've got no sound in the HTC Music app. Any thoughts?

I have VOdafone Magic (32b)

I have Cyanogen Mod v1.4 + JF Recovery Image

Currently 6.5GB FAT32, 0.5GB Ext4, 192MB Linux Swap

Do I need to o anything other than Wipe and flash to run this at it's fastest? eg. New Kernel, Radio, SPL etc? ANd is the delay on incoming calls fixed yet, as this is a real deal-breaker for me as I tend to use my phone for, ahem, receiving phone calls.

I hope so as this rom is by far the best of the HERO's but I had to go back to using one of the Donut ROMs so I could take calls.

I don't see it's been mentioned... on a mytouch 3g i've got not working camera.... just a black screen...

Seriously. This is bugging my. I want a new ROM, though I have searched this forum for 3 Days with NO FRICKING tutorial on how to do this!!!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WarlockLord:
If you're on donut, downgrade to 1.5. Find and run 1-click root. Flash recovery using 1-click root. Find updated radio and SPL. Flash radio FIRST then SPL. Download rom to sd card. Boot to recovery. Flash the rom .zip from recovery.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Виток:
Ok. What is donut?? A program??

If so, where is it to download?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WarlockLord:
Donut is android v 1.6
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Виток:
Okay. My firmware is 1.6, so this is "Donut?"

Now. What do I do?

I really want to download this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=566965

Though how do I do it?

I downloaded Relentless App or something and it's not working, downloaded the cm-recovery.1.4.img and a lot of other things.

What do I do?

I renamed the downloaded ROM (from link I gave you) and renamed it Update.zip

I have no idea how to do this?

I come from the HTC Touch HD, so Android is new to me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Zwanace:
How stable is this ROM? I tried to flash this after i rooted and it just wouldnt load the sense UI at all and just kept saying loading. Is this normal? Does the first boot normally take a while because all the other roms i have tried did not take that long
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Yep, just noticed that too. I have got things fixed, double checking again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Go ask in that thread. I do not support any other ROM's in my thread. Sorry.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
That's far from normal. Do you have 3 partitions? Did you wipe before flashing?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Ok, there is now a patch in the ROM downloads. Just boot to recovery and apply. DO NOT WIPE!!

This will resolve GPS, Sound and Camera issues.

Let me know if there are anymore.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WarlockLord:
Cool I'll install the patch now. How do I make a2dp work? I use that a lot when I'm riding on the bike
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Zwanace:
Yep three partitions and i wiped it before. I thought it was odd to even from my experience with WM rom updates it has never taken that long. I suppose i will just try again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Let us know how the patch works..... well it does, but just verify.

a2dp is a work in progress with Hero/Sense on 32b right now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
I'm guessing you tried a reboot. If that didn't work, try reflashing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WarlockLord:
OH! My fault, I thought I read it was working somewhere. I'll stick to my wired phones for now then. Patch seems to be working fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WarlockLord:
How can I remove my account and voicemail? I don't see them in the list of apk's when I adb to the phone. Unless I'm looking in the wrong place....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Open the ROM zip package, go to data/app, the names of the apks will be in there. Then you can do a adb shell find -name *.apk

Also, you should be able to remove those with the app manager or advance task manager.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WarlockLord:
I see voicemail and got it out but nothing references the name my account. Do you know if its called something else?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] heroskyy:
im a first time noob at this, and i followed all of the tutorials on the unlockr

but with the ROM, its like, so slow and slugish, that its almost inoperable.

did i do something wrong? or does it take time?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Entirely too many patches. I feel as if this build is becoming very similar to Windows XP. :(

Evil, dude...don't worry about the Sense stuff just yet. There's virtually no point...hardly any Sense ROM offers the "stability" that we're used to. (If you know what you're actually doing when flashing a Hero ROM.)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
It's only 1 patch.

I'm comfortable with v3, v3x and soon v3s r3. Yes, bt still doesn't work and the black phone dialer (it's there), just doesn't show up in v3s, but man, it's fast.

I believe I will take a hiatus from the building aspect for a while.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
I don't doubt that it's fast. Sure.

And obviously...my comment was posted prior to your release of the third update.

If I were you, I'd go ahead and "clean up" the build image. RENAME THIS THREAD...AGAIN! Perhaps something a little more "catchy". Evil Hero "S3NSE".

Clever, eh? Lol. :rolleyes:

Also, if you're officially going to be "peacing out"...could you perhaps at least test or add the remaining widgets before departing. At least that way, if I pick up this build and decide to edit anything; I'll have the ENTIRE, full-featured ROM that I'm used to...not to mention A LOT more to work with, and less to add or change. :D Thanks bud.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Chididdy123:
I flashed the V3x version, and the messages widget does not work (usually you are able to scroll through your messages, but it only scrolls through 2 messages, but not the other 5 messages). How can i fix this?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hitman4485:
Back to 3x

Sorry man gotta head back to 3x for now...something just didnt seem right with this. i had no issues with market till i flashed 3s and so on so ill stick with whats good for till you come back with something furious! take your time there is no rush for these things. great work! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ahaveard:
Reign,

I sent a PM to you on this but thought that everyone else may benefit too so. What do you have your user.conf settings at right now? Can you post a copy of it so we can take a look?

Thanks man.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hitman4485:
eh

changed my mind...ill give this a whirl. ill test for a day or so and let you know.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jay188:
is there any way to put in a2sd on v3s r3. please let me know how can do it. thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Edit the "a2sd" file in the system/bin to "search for" the mmc2 instead of mmc4. Then, push it to the same position...and CHMOD it.

"Reign,

I sent a PM to you on this but thought that everyone else may benefit too so. What do you have your user.conf settings at right now? Can you post a copy of it so we can take a look?

Thanks man."

Yeah, I'll post mine later tonight. It's not that big of a deal though to be honest with you. Have you considered editing your's to uphold the necessary requirements?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ahaveard:
I think that I've already done that. Picked up a big performance boost but just wanted to compare. I'm still having a big problem with the amount of time that it takes my screen to rotate. I watched the action in logcat and didn't see any errors. It just rotates over and then sits there only using half the screen for like 20 seconds. Not a huge deal breaker but very annoying. I've checked every setting in both the settings and the spare parts. From what I can tell it is running as fast as I can make it for the transition. Also it only happens for the first rotate in the program. once it does it the first time its quick from then on and is fine until I close the app. Then it starts happening again with the next app, and so on.

Also watching the logcat screen it seems there are a lot of permissions problems. Went to run fix_permissions and found that it isn't in the 3s r3 release. Tried to put it there manually but couldn't get it to run. Any suggestions on that.

Thanks again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sutiban:
First of all Evil...

v3s r3 is the fastest build of yours that i've flashed yet! Amazimg job on the speed of the rom.

One thing i did notice is insmod freaking out about a few kernel modules.

Compcache modules are already there.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] resinous:
I flashed 3s earlier today before you posted it with r3, should i flash with the new r3 added? will i notice any difference?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Elton.Tsai:
Just found something interesting.

Is there anyone using AGPS to get your location?

Since I've flashed so-call customized rom, I cannot be located on google map via AGPS. I have to turn on GPS to get my location. However, GPS drain my battery out badly.(compared with wifi)

I found that if you turned wifi on when you're using google map or applications which support AGPS, you can get your location without turning GPS on.

It's funny, right?

By the way, 3s_r3 is really good! Thank you, evil.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] M3TR1C:
Hey having some troubles with the rom on txting. Apparently when I receive a text it shows on the message screen that there is a txt and shows the preview of it but then when the thread opens the message is missing. This is really pissing me off cause this happened when i flashed eugenes build of the sense UI. Do any of you have any suggestions to fix this issue. Think if i reformat the partitions again and reflash the rom it would help?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
@Evil:

No offense; but I rather prefer "standard" looking HTC features to your custom boot animation...but I'm wondering if you could e-mail me the ORIGINAL Magic Sense boot animation. Obviously, it was it one of your other builds or patches.

It's nothing personal; I just have specific things that I would like to customize to my liking on v3.0s release three. :D

Also, another request...if you could add the HTC News & Horoscope widgets as an "update.zip" to accompany the rest of your patches, kernels, and builds in your repository. Finally, if there is a fix for the Black HTC Dialer; in order to have it actually be visible...that would be very excellent! Thanks Evil. :D

Trust me, if these things can be fulfilled...I doubt folks will have too much else to ask for. My faith has been restored.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kwhalen:
I haven't changed the user.conf file that comes with v3s r3, but would be curious what changes, if any, you are referring to. Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
@Evil:

I found that the G-Sensor is completely absent from the device settings.

That's a little strange. I'm not sure if that's a universal error amongst the Magic Sense builds though...? :confused:

But again; as I said in my previous comment, this build will be 100% kick ass if all that can be pulled together to offer the COMPLETE "Evil touch" to this build...it'll be finished in my eyes. :D

EDIT: I'm experiencing quite a few marketplace issues with downloading SPECIFIC applications. Here's a few I'm UNABLE to download; it suggests that the download was UNSUCCESSFUL. AndroZip, Free Coupons, MyBackup Pro, Snap Photo Pro, and Pandora Radio. It would seem that SEVERAL of my paid applications are NOT allowing the download to commence. I've been able to download Battery Status (PAID) and Advanced Task Manager (PAID) successfully, but the others have failed. This issue is known among a few Magic Sense builds.

EDIT 2: After the first REBOOT that was performed once I finished installing all of my applications (that I was actually able to) there was an immediate ERROR and FORCE CLOSE for the Android system processes. Other than that; I edited the boot_animation.xml file to enable the BOOT ANIMATION AUDIO, and it turns out that the audio is completely mismatched. The timing is either too fast or too slow. I couldn't really identify which it was at the time. Finally, the BACK button no longer serves as an alternative way to "wake" the screen from a "sleep state". I'm not sure if that's a "standard feature" with the HTC Magic or not, but that's a little unusual as this issue was NOT present for the Hero based builds of Sense.

EDIT 3: After EVERY REBOOT thus far; the splash image appears, then prior to the boot animation sequence initiating, the RECOVERY IMAGE SCREEN appears briefly (5-10 seconds) before the animations are displayed on screen.

3s r3 (RECOMMEND TO FLASH BFS230 with r1 & r2, default with r3)

for 3s r3 what is default? No BFS?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Lumsdoni:
Just flashed latest build and patch.

Having the same Market issues with all my paid for Apps. Phone ringer Lag still there.

Seems a lot faster in the general Sense application, but compared to NONHero build most apps are taking 3-4seconds longer to open which finally made me think that whilst the technical brilliance to achieve this ROM is second to none, trying to run HERO on a Magic is like putting a square peg into a round hole.

You can resize the square to fit but there will be gaps all around. In this case it is Timing.

It is a shame but after using many HERO ROMS, and Ilove the People App, and the wdgets fo this ROM everything is just a lot faster on a modded Donut ROM with certain apps loaded.

Once again - EXCELLENT work on this ROM, I could never even think about where tostart on building something like this, but the lag on the phone ringer is the big deal breaker for me. I have missed so many calls because of it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Be sure to read my posts on the previous page!

There's quite a few issues that I've been experiencing...so until Evil has had the opportunity to look into some of those problems; hang tight folks. :D

After these get resolved, I presume that will be his final revision. ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TachorkaR:
Nicely put - it's just what I think. I'll give it one last try when I get my class 6 card but I don't think it'll make such a big difference.

As for now - while I really admire all the hard work that is needed for every HERO Rom here (BIG THANKS to the developers) and i do love the look&feel of the Sense UI - a HERO Rom on a 32B-Magic is not acceptable for business or every day usage if it is your primary or only phone (even if it is reported as a fast ROM).

Tonight I'll go back to a plain Donut ROM with HERO Theme... :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fabulous691:
I flashed the rom, after been user of the previous versions.

I changed my swap and swapiness settings:

64mb swap with 40 swapiness....ITS INCREDIBLE how it is Fast...

even if previous versions and others rom are fast, i didn't seen it since i flashed the new version and with these settings

When bugs and issues will be corrected, it will be my HERO rom, its sure!!

Keep up the good work evil, and BRAVO for this beautiful job
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] M3TR1C:
Hanging tight :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
It's good to see that the community is pleased with the Sense-based progress that this build has made. :D

I'm also glad that several of you have respectfully heeded my warning about a few issues that would drive (the average person) someone completely insane. Lol. As long as Evil manages to read what I've come across on page 213; then we'll be in good shape. Otherwise, I don't want to be the jerk that makes "too many revisions" without asking to assist.

Btw, the Alarm doesn't appear to be functional...it didn't go off this morning, even after being excluded from task managers. :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Elton.Tsai:
yeah, I noticed that the alarm doesn't work properly.

That's why I overslept this morning:p

Hope to have it fixed soon
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bunglehaze:
Not sure if there is something obvious I am missing but I have just flashed r3 on my 32B and it is easily the slowest and least responsive ROM I have tried on here, I am guessing though that it is a setting on here so I am going over it all but anyone else having a similar issue?

Fresh format and setup of fat32, ext3 and linux-swap so on that basis I dont think its the card. Any ideas?

leigh
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
It's there.

run sh system/bin/fix_permissions
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Does this happen to anyone else?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
I have paid apps fixed totally now. Working on the ringer thing, this has been around for awhile.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
I just set mine and it worked.... Have you tried again?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Sure did. But try setting your alarm and assuming that it will go off hours later. I overslept a bit this morning. Luckily for me, Texas has been dowsed in rain for the past 24 hours...so the thunderstorm woke me up as a make-shift alarm instead. :rolleyes:

Others have reported the issue in the past; and one within a few posts of my own. This wasn't a problem on past builds...for me anyway. So, again...since I'm not a "first timer", I cannot imagine what's going wrong? :confused:

But that problem is rather insignificant compared to the laundry list of problems that arose last night after several hours of thoroughly testing ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING as far as "standard" functions are concerned.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hitman4485:
good work on this evil. its nice to see such great progess and reliability out of this. just wanted to add on top of the market crap (i saw you have it fixed) that in the pull up menu i have 2 icons for messaging and mail. not a big deal just bringing it to your attention. it had happened before but it just went away last time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
As promised..."Reignzone's user.conf"

Here's my personal user.conf file that I am currently using for Evil Hero v3.0s (r3):

- Things to keep in mind -

I have a 200MB Linux Swap partition.

I have a Class 6 SD card.

I'm using 90% swappiness for LS.

YOU MUST HAVE a swap space larger than 128MB to support the swappiness.

CC is disabled.

Back_swap is disabled.

I use the Overclock Widget as for my CPU frequency sampling substitute.

This is the user.conf file that was used in my YouTube video for Evil Hero. :D

The swappiness is set much higher than most users would like; I don't mind SD card wear-leveling. I have several Class 6 SD cards, so killing an SD card in 6 months is NOT an issue to me. :D

If you wish to use this, unzip it...then:

adb remount

adb push user.conf /system/bin

adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/user.conf

adb shell reboot

adb shell sh system/bin/userinit.sh -s

Enjoy.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Final tuning right now. There will be an a2sd version and one without.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Thank God. :D

Well, thank YOU Evil. Lol.

So; if you don't mind me asking...what exactly are you addressing as far as issues are concerned in this FINAL, FINAL, FINAL version...? :D

I hope you didn't think I was being a "flaming jerk" earlier by reporting those issues in the manner that I did. :rolleyes:

EDIT: Here's a thought for a "catchy" final revised title of this thread, "eViL D: presents - COMMON S3NSE". Lol. The "3" in Sense represents the HTC build series and version number of your ROM simultaneously.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] CoupedUp:
I have yet to be able to swipe and get the homescreen to move. It is always force closing HTC Sense and "loading...". I have never had a out of the box ROM run this horribly.

I can however get the notification tray to slide down every now and then inbetween freezes. The setup process took ages as well.

Any advice that could help me speed this up?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Elton.Tsai:
Hi Reignzone,

I have a question about the alarm issue. What version are you running on your device? r2 or r3? Did you apply the patch you posted on post#2069?

I just tried to re-flash r3 without that patch and I got "system is not responding" message back but alarm works properly.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fabulous691:
did the "final" version works or not???

any force close for other user that CoupedUp
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Lol, cest la vi. Already posted.

Well, paid apps are good. Hopefully alarm and ringer too. The bootscreen still is messy. Black dialer still not there. Hopefully I can patch that at some point.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Final does not have that fc.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
A reboot should fix that.
