im using 2.1.1 and it has multi-touch. did this new version lose it some how?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eatabagel:
Yeah not only does it not have multitouch, which I can live without, the browser doesn't have the standard zoom in and out buttons, which are pretty important if you don't have multitouch.

The other flaw I found is that the screen won't allow me to adjust brightness. I would do it manually, or while using a variety of screen brightness widgets/tools and it will readjust for 2 seconds and then go back to a default brightness (which I think is 100%).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mgorman:
ive noticed that on all the hero roms.

im switching back to 2.1.1. so far i dont like 2.3
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
I'm working on the browser, but I can adjust brightness just fine. By default it is around 50%. Try enabling auto brightness then turning it off.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mgorman:
that works one time. then every time its changed through a widget or app you'd have to do it again
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
2.3xx is online now with working multi-touch and bluetooth. Brightness adjustment shouldn't be an issue either.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mgorman:
would installing the cm kernal do anything like suggested in a previous post or now that BFS is on here it wont do anything?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mgorman:
so far from just the initial set up screens the 2.2 version with cm 4.1.6 kernal update was alot faster then 2.3xx
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
First impressions are that cy's kernel is a bit faster. I'll have to run it longer to actually see if it's anything meaningful.

If you preferred 2.1.1 over 2.2, you should like 2.3xx
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Based off WWE.....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] njakobs:
TouchPal has release a version for Android now that is pretty awesome and free at the moment. Can download different language packs for it worth a look. Would solve your problem Draxter and it works perfectly with this rom for me.

Lol sorry miss read... would solve the xt9 side of things.....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
1.3a is online. There is no 1.1 or 1.2 as those were internally tested.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] momohammed20:
hi, i'm about to try your rom on my tmobile mytouch. Is there a difference between 1.3x and 1.3a? also should i do anything special to get swap working other than formatting my SD card properly?

thanks, keep up the good work
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Ok, charge lights are out of my realm. I have yet to see them work on other Hero ROM's either.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Yes, a had some hiccups so I reverted back to some things. I personally love x.

you will need the following partitions:

fat32

ext3

linux-swap
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] momohammed20:
cool, i flashed the rom, it's restarting right now. I used Amon Ra's recovery image to format my partitions. I will report back on how the rom is. I'm using a class 2 8gb SD card so i'm expecting it to probably be a bit slow, but i will try it out anyways
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] momohammed20:
the rom has been installed successfully on my myTouch. It's pretty fast for me having a class 2 sd card. but i think i'm going back to cyanogen's rom just because it's faster. But this is a good rom for those seeking a hero rom
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 13bjunkie:
wifi not connecting?

[edit] i finally got it to work

now, if tether finally turns on... that'll be great.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadowleo85:
seems that everything is working that i need... now i can recieve my girls text... that **** was driving me nuts... now to see if the mms works... ill report back shortly... and can u plz make a compcache version... since u hae swaper enabled by default i cant run the codes for comcache... but thay would greatly help with speed... although i can say i havent had any real problems but i havent used it that long
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadowleo85:
darn i miss having the pretty lil H in the corner when my inet is on hsdpa... o well minor thing although i have noticed better speeds than normal 3g when my phone shows that H
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Acsteffy87:
i cant make calls properly make calls anymore since flashing this rom. i will be talking to someone and then all of a sudden my call will get disconnected and sometimes my phone will even restart, note this only happens during calls. does anybody know why this happens or a possible fix
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadowleo85:
r u sure u have the correct radio installed? or reflash the software but wipe ur phone and reformat the partitions on ur sdcard since this needs a clean install to work properly
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Acsteffy87:
ya i have the correct radio. and i had already started from a clean slate.

i had repartitioned my phone, i wiped the data too. but the problem still occurs.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
You can disable swapper, if it indeed running by using Swapper and setting swap to off. If you want to run linux-swap, you can configure it there too with the advanced config.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadowleo85:
yea and when i try to disable swap it always fails... dont know y... but it runs smoothly havent had any problems all day... a few hiccups... but nothin major... good work... i used to like qteks... but urs is far more stable and the sms and mms work great... although i did like qteks ringers so im pushing that folder to this build other than that thank u sir
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fattalis:
problem

my phone is stuck on the htc boot screen with the little android monster popping up, it keeps playing back over and over, what do i do, i did everything you said to do .
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadowleo85:
i had this happen once... if ur using ravs recovery... MAKE SURE U HAVE 2 SD CARDS

1 sd for the update.zip and one that ur using as ur tri-partition

boot into recovery with the update.zip sd card... and WIPE THE DEVICE FIRST... that apply the update once its done pull the batter and replace the sd with the one ur using for ur tri-partition

boot the phone into recovery again and reformat the sd card and make sure u do the ext2-ext3 change

than reboot and u should be fine
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vtecbros:
Thanks for this ROM guys. Its very fast and stable.

I just had one question. I tried to change my wallpaper but it dont change at all?

Is there a way to change the wallpaper?

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] djchiena:
Just installed this ROM and seems to be running fine. Things i noticed thus far:

-Everytime i access the Weather app and go back to the home screen, the phone resets

-I can't disable swap

Other than that, the biggest plus is that SMS seems to work fine as i haven't missed a text yet. thank you for this!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mgorman:
i actually like 2.2 with 4.1.6 kernal. im reverting back to that right now.

2.3xx kept giving me a htc screen that wouldnt go away without rebooting the phone. i was only getting it a couple times on 2.1 and 2.2
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eatabagel:
2.3.xx is awesome!

It's really fast. I honestly don't see a difference between the speed using Cyanogen's kernel and the speed using JAC's kernel. I think you have a winner here.

I'll report back if I find any problems. So far, I haven't seen anything.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ElChouch:
Could someone please host the 2.3xx somewhere else than Rzpidshare or Megaupload ? Can't download from these sites... :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Samar_Djo:
same for me !

Any feed back of bluetooth sent and recieved files ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Deicist:
downloaded 2.3xx, wiped my data, reformatted my sdcard, pushed the zip... and my recovery image stopped responding. adb shell still works, but on rebooting the file isn't actually on the sdcard.

I've re-downloaded the file twice, wiped everything a few times and this happens every time. as soon as adb reports '1021 KB/s (91683325 bytes in 87.632s)' the phone stops responding.

my recovery image is 'RAv1.2.0G'

I'm currently downloading 2.3x to see if the same problem occurs.

anyone else seen this problem before?

edit: fastbooted the latest version of Amon_Ra's recovery image (1.2.1) and it seems to be working.... weird, maybe my recovery image got corrupted or something?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shizzyraw585:
2.3xx Is Lookin Like a Winner!

Thanks for the awesome ROM eVil! 2.3xx seems noticeably faster than your other works, I am quite impressed, I think It's even faster than the MoDaCo builds! I am still experiencing a bit of a ring delay (trackball flashes 5-10 seconds before I hear an audible ring tone), but not as bad as some of the the Hero ROMs that I have tried. Does anyone have any insight on this issue? Its seems a little worse with forwarded calls (which sucks for Goggle voice users).

Also, I noticed in the description that swappiness is defaulted to 40, can I still use the included "Swapper" without making any changes first?

I'm not quite sure what BFS does, but it's great!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ElChouch:
Did you guys turn on compcache and backing swap instead of linux swap or are you just running the rom with default user.conf (i.e. with linux swap enabled) ?

i've also noticed this in user.conf :

CONF_FILE="/system/sd/user.conf"	#location of user.conf

But user.conf is in /system/bin in this build, don't you think that this line should be modified that way:

CONF_FILE="/system/bin/user.conf"	#location of user.conf
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ElChouch:
C:\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r1\tools>adb shell sh /system/bin/userinit.sh -s

Usage:

/system/sd/userinit.sh [-s|-c config.file|-i]

Default:

Sets system configuration based on the paratermers

that listed in /system/sd/user.conf

-s: check configuration status and cross

verifiction with user configurations

-c config.file: use user parameters that defined

in config.file

-i: Current system settings and info

Why does userinit.sh checking command returns this ?! Seems like compcache is not enabled (I've modified user.conf, compcache=1 )
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ElChouch:
Ok so I have finally manage to run compcache but there s quiet an issue with it... When running "adb shell sh /system/sd/userinit.sh -s" (yes I ve moved the user.conf and userinit.sh in /system/sd as it is recommended in the script thread), everything is fine except for compcache :

Any idea Evil ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] finalgear:
one more thing EVIL the ability to change wallpapers isnt working it says touchFLO process com.htc.launcher has stopped unexpectedly. please try again then it has the force close button at the bottom any help would be great anotherthing thats not working are the scenes menu > scenes > HTC or any of the others the back light isnt working also for notification the option for he track ball isnt there for it to flash it only flashes the screen.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Can you copy the zip via card reader?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Yes, you can still use swapper.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
You're right, i'll look into that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
I don't really support compcache as I think linux-swap is faster, but I will do some testing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
I have included a background/wallpaper app, also, you should be able to use Album to apply wallpapers.

The backlight works on other scenes, but it seems like when you change a scene, it dims to the lowest setting. Just go to settings and display and press brightness and it will come back on.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ElChouch:
Thx for the reply Evil,

you re right I also think that linux swap is more responsive.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Johnny Blaze:
Scenes should be working fine. Just saved the default one and changed mine. Also wallpaper doesn't fc me. Maybe something didn't wipe properly. What was. Previous Rom? I went from zeroxd 5.1r2 to evil 2.3x to 2.3xx with no wipes at all
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eatabagel:
So after about 8 hours, I noticed the phone had started to get a little laggy. Don't know the reason, but perhaps it is swap-related.

If what Elchouch found (the location of user.conf needing to be in /system/sd and not /system/bin) is right then does that mean swap was not turned on at all the entire time?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dragonboyy3k:
Thanks EvilD .. the language problem is fixed .. and the ROM seem great so far.. thank you again ...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] teleknEsis:
I noticed that both compcache and linux-swap were enabled in the user.conf. So I disabled compcache (because I agree it doesn't seem to perform as well as linux-swap for me) and upped my swappiness to 60. I immediately saw an increase in speed so I'm pretty sure that even though the location in user.conf is set to /system/sd/user.conf, I believe it's still being read and used. I mean the file has to be read in the first place for the system to find that line.

Gotta say I LOVE the snappiness of the applications. IMO that is the biggest advantage of BFS.

Should get my class 6 sd card in the mail today or tomorrow so can't wait to try this Rom out with a faster card!

Only bug I've noticed so far is the FC when trying to toggle through the different wallpapers, but that is such a minor issue...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mgorman:
I'm using 2.2 with cm 4.1.6 kernel and multi touch isn't working. Is there a way to fix this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Lakers3408:
dR. eViL

When you say "now with working multi-touch and bluetooth" ...

Is bluetooth fully working (music & phone) pairing and connect with sound?

or

does it just turn on?

TIA
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Stereo BT should work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] andyp17:
Hello,

I'm using the newest version of this rom and it works fine. But I have a question about the swapper. Does this application automatically use the swap partition or have I to change the settings. I tried to change the path of the partition in the settings and now it doesn't work. Can anyone tell me the correct settings?

many thanks... Andy

I thought I posted this last night but I can't find it or a response... : I put evil on my phone and every time I go to the home screen it takes a long time to load. It shows me the HTC logo, then says Loading for about 3-5 minutes before I can use the phone again. I've tried with swap on and swap off.

On 2.3xx
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mgorman:
i was having the same problem and thats why I went back to 2.2
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Lakers3408:
Bluetooth does NOT work, it does turn on, pair and connect BUT no sound on Stereo or Phone. I did hear music for a split second but nothing longer.

I also tried adding liba2dp2.so but still did not work :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KROMO50:
Does someone know where the option is to disable vibration alert when phone call is being connected. I am going to to kill my phone if i cant turn this off.

Thanks i am using eViL HeRo v2.3xx with BFS 32B [09/09/09-UPDATED]
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pritesht:
Yeah I keep getting the same problem, for example I could be listening to music then press the home button and it just stays on the HTC logo for a while.

This is the first rom I tried so I cant really compare it to anything else but apart from that little issue where it hangs I do really like it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wrek:
Looks like it's related to swap. Open the SWAPPER utility then hit the menu button, choose configuration and turn on swapper. My swap size is currently 96mb. Then choose Swappiness. Mine is set to 60 and I'm getting decent results... though I still have a class 2 MicroSD. I'm ordering a Class 6 from Newegg today.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wrek:
Rebooting and swap looks like it's off... ? How can I tell if it's ON or OFF?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Keep upping your swappiness.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] queroantonio:
Thank U so much Evil D: !!! need wipe from 2.3xx?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wrek:
Evil, you're the **** man.. this ROM is great. I know my issues come from my lack of experience on this phone.. thanks for the tips! Do we need to reboot after messing with Swapper?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mgorman:
i tried installing 2.4x and i get a FC of the setup wizard during the google sign in screen.

edit: i rebooted the phone and it had me signed in...weird
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
You will probably be ok not wiping with 2.3xx to 2.4x, but I always recommend it anyways.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
No need to reboot after configuring swapper.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
It's a bug, you could have also just cancelled out and it would have signed you in. I will look into it more.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] queroantonio:
Ill try without wipe first. Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mgorman:
i dont know if it's just me but my google contacts won't sync. it says the sync is currently experiencing problems. my gmail and calender sync but the contacts wont.

this is the message that I see

"sync is currently experiencing problems. it will be back shortly"
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Thanks, I will check it out.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mgorman:
ya if you can fix that i will be super happy because your rom's are the only ones that work very good for me. i'm trying other ones atm but i always run into problems.

can we donate a beer or something to you?

edit: i flashed 2.3xx and im getting the same problem with the contacts not syncing. i didn't have this issue on 2.2

edit 2: the contacts just appeared. maybe problem with google. going to try 2.4x again

edit 3: tried 2.4x again and was giving me same sync error. going back to 2.3xx until fix can be cooked up
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] queroantonio:
Same problem but I think its faster than 2.3xx
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
I believe it's a problem with BFS now. But, then again, I've had issues sync'ing contacts with Google for a while now, so I just have them all backed up with Sprite backup and restore.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mgorman:
alright ill try that way. 2.4x was smoking fast and i really liked it but w/o contacts it was useless.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eatabagel:
I'm also running into the sync problem. I actually had a pretty good install of 2.3xx but decided to try JacvxHeroSki 2.0... that didn't work so I wiped, formated the ext3 and tried to flash 2.4x.

It's super fast. I love how fast it is. But I couldn't get it to sync properly.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mgorman:
do what evil suggested and get sprite backup, backup all your stuff, pull the backup off the sd card, wipe and flash 2.4x, re-download sprite and then restore the contacts.

im doing that right now
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mgorman:
ok for some reason sprite wouldnt work and i couldnt restore my contacts. trying to figure out another way. hopefully a fix will be made.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eatabagel:
I wonder if flashing 2.3xx, and then doing a no-wipe install of 2.4 would allow you to keep your contacts and your syncing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mpegcto:

btw, i'm using a mytouch and i have the 4gb sdhc card that came with the phone and i did use the swapper program..swap size is 64mb and swappiness is 60..i've tried different settings but it's still not helping..:(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
I have just ported the newest kernel from jac 2.1 and it seem pretty promising. There doesn't seem to be rotation in the browser, but I believe the sync will work. I have not go the wlan working, so I will not post it until I can get that sorted out.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skimz:
Will you be adding auto rotate? Also, does the jac2.1 have 2 home screens cuz his 1.8 did and you couldn't set up wallpaper from you sd.

I use Amon_Ra's recovery and I know it does the partition for me automatically, but how do I know what size my partitions are ? For example, there are some roms that require 96Mb's for Swap...Any help will be greatly appreciated and thanx to all the Devs for their hard and continous work on the G1 and MT3G....

I hope this is the correct forum for this question...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] StreetGuru:
You're answer belongs to the General forum but I'll tell you what works for me - i use adb and the method described in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534714 to partition your sd. boot into recovery mode, connect the phone to your computer and go down to console with the trackball. once there open a command prompt and do adb shell and follow the instructions. You can then manually choose the size of your partitions once in parted.

to push the rom rename it to update(.zip) and copy it into your tools folder on the Android SDK. then, when you open a new command prompt window (after creating the partitions) type:

adb shell mount /sdcard

adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip

exit

then do the reboot recovery on the original command prompt window and wipe before applying update.zip
