So if I haven't ODEXED (which I assume is accomplished by running adb shell sh system/bin/userinit.sh) I would just

adb push C:\HTC_IME.apk /system/app

adb shell reboot

? Is it that simple?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Yes, but you may need to remount. Reboot probably isn't necessary either.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shizzyraw585:
Damn, I pushed the file but then I got acore fc after fc. Rebooted the phone, repaired the ext file system, fixed the uid mismatches, and it just hung on a black (but back lit) screen after the myTouch splash screen. Oh well, guess I'll just have to hope for a 2.8 remix ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WMO_Magic:
Hi eViL, is the issue with the led's resolved?

I read, somewhere, that the issue regarding led's could be resolved by setting the Model number to HTC Magic instead of HTC Hero.

Do you know if that's the case?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] soulfullvibes:
either way it can be default left alone or personally pick them they stop working for sms and email the peep app they work all the time but the email or sms they stop after a couple of hours
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jaangunnar:
ha, yeah, i guess that makes sense. thanks Nguyen!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shizzyraw585:
First thing, get a class 6 SD if you don't have one already!

If your just getting started and want something that will run fast with minimal configuration I would recommend using one of the builds that eVil has designated as stable, which is 2.9.5x and below i believe. There is a break in the change log that says stable. If you have done any reading of this thread at all you probably know that I am personally very partial to version 2.8, try it.

2.8 and below require three partitions, fat\ext 2 or 3\swap. The easiest way to do this is through the recovery, there should be an option for it. There should also be an option to convert your ext2 partition to ext3. If you use the recovery menu setting up the partitions is easy as pie.

Make sure you perform a wipe in the recovery menu before flashing. Also, select the option to repair the ext file system. Flash your ROM, then repair the ext file system again, and fix the uid mismatches. All of this is done through the recovery menu.

If you are not comfortable pushing a modified user.conf file, download swapper and set cpu from the market. Open swapper, go to settings, and set your swap size and swappiness (I have good results with 192MB and 80 Swappiness). Then go to advanced preferences and check off the option to use the swap partion. Then hit the button to "Swap On". Next open set cpu and set a minimum and maximum CPU frequency (I get good results with 528000 and 384000). Check the option to set these preferences when you reboot. You can also download a program from the market called TA Utility. You can use it to move your browser, market and other caches to the SD. I didn't really notice much of if any of a boost though.

Well, that should get you rolling pretty good. Now that your phone is moving along at a decent speed I recommend grabbing a few beers and reading as much of this thread as possible. There is a lot of people a hell of a lot smarter than me here who you can learn a lot from. Good luck, and welcome.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Did you delete the HTC_IME.odex?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Umm, what issue? LED's seem to work fine for me....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Agreed. The LED functionality is there. I'm using "Missed Call" to enable the various colors to represent different things. Every color works as expected. Red for my missed calls, Blue for my text messages, Green for an incoming call, etc. :D

Anyway, I've been using a few other Hero builds lately, and I must say thus far...nothing compares. Although, I have come across quite a few ROM versions that have an extremely fluid and responsive Rosie. MLIGN has one of the best Rosie.apk optimizations I've seen. As well as Eugene373, and right now I think that's one thing that could be worked on in this ROM. I love that you've kept this as a feature-rich build Evil, but I think you should check out some their setup with Rosie. It's pretty much impeccable. :)

Otherwise, I'm glad to see that you've had some positive responses to your latest. This is going better than expected lately, I haven't had to jump in and contribute to any ridiculous questions or comments. YAY! Great work as usual boss.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] FenderGuy:
I have to say I am disappointed in the V2.9.8.2 the BT is still not fixed, While I believe this rom to be the best, there are still issues at hand. I get the foreclose on a lot when browsing and trying to go a sync. I am going to try the 2.8 and then the stable rom and see which one is better, I was using 2.6 and that was the fastest and i was able to use the phone
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mgear356:
Anyone having forced close with touch pal keyboards?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shizzyraw585:
doh!! No, still learning bro. So let me try this again.

adb remount

adb rm /system/app/HTC_IME.apk

adb push C:\HTC_IME.apk /system/app

Would that get the job done? Sorry, but my command line work really consist of copying and pasting what people write in forums. Yeah, I know :p.

Oh wait, the odex. I didn't run the db shell sh system/bin/userinit.sh script to Odex. I was in the process of reinstalling 2.8 and hadn't got to that point yet. I did the Odex command after i pushed the .apk.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BigRD:
I've been running 2.9.8.2 since release and I keep getting freeze ups and won't wake up from standby and only removing the battery resolves it. Has anyone else experienced this?

I 'm really impressed with eViL's work but I think I'll have to revert back to Cyanogen 4.0.4 for now - the other top ROM :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
That's weird it would freeze on that build. Everything should be stable. Tried reflashing?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BigRD:
Thanks eViL I've just reflashed and it's looking good. Will monitor over the next day or. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
2.9.9 is now online, enjoy.....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jabbawalkee:
**** man awesome thankyou :)

In the air flying right now but gonna download this AS SOON AS POSSIBLE...really want to try it out (ESP with 303)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alberto1495:
hello evil sorry but what do the (b) (h) and (p) stand for on 2.9.9?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jabbawalkee:
Blur, Hero, and Pulse

Evil -- thanks for adding those three options...haha you'd be happy to know that I'm 10,000 feet up in the air (on an airplane, duh) downloading your ROM (14 minutes remaining) because I am dying to flash it!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alberto1495:
oh wow thanks jabbawalkee. have a nice flight!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
lol, wow. That's amazing!

and, committed!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jabbawalkee:
I sure am! Since seeing the speed in 2.9.8.1 I have always been on your ROM at the end of the day. Curious to see how 2.9.9p is...I'm flashing it right now. Man would I love to have the "Happenings" widgets from Blur on this ROM, that would be ideal :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shizzyraw585:
Can anyone explain the differences, or better yet share some screen shots?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sovereignty68:
nice to see 2.9.9 is released! I just flashed it 2.9.9b... I have't seen any different between blur and hero version.... yet.

edit: ok... just find out wifi doesn't work on B version.... flashing H now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Um, woah?

Either, I'm a little overwhelmed, surprised, or just plain "scared" of the direction you chose to take this progression Evil. Frankly, this is a major curveball man. Not to mention the last thing I expected to see on this thread.

Pulse? Blur? I mean, the animations are more-or-less what kept me from further advancing with your updates. I'm still using, v2.9.5! Lol. :rolleyes:

Anyway, I'm just talking outta' my ass...I'm sure some folks love this; I was merely caught off guard. Glad to see you're still working hard though.

Please folks, remember...provide constructive feedback in regards to how well those "experimental" builds are working out for you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sovereignty68:
Ok, Wifi is not working on 2.9.9. It says "Unable to start Wi-Fi" in the setting when I try to turn it on. Tried on both Blur and Hero edition, same result. Going back to 2.9.8.2 now...

Update: It just reboot itself while turning on Airplane mode...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
I'll get the WiFi worked out tomorrow.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Just for you, the normal hero animations.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
v2.9.9(p) version does not have Wi-Fi functionality.

Thus far, I haven't found any other issues. I've come out of the dark for this set of updates. I realized that earlier I was in the wrong...now it became apparent to me that your referral to the devices has to do with their ANIMATIONS; not necessarily the user-interface. Thank, GOD! :rolleyes:

I've already flashed "Canvas" and "MOTOBLUR" to my devices, not nearly as "handsome" as my favorite Hero. (No homo!) :D

I'll post any other errors, force close issues, or potential problems in this one if need be.

Thanks.

EDIT: While trying to access the ringtones/notifications (since there are NONE), it force closes when adjusting the volume settings for media and ringer.

EDIT 2:Wi-Fi is currently "broken" for the Pulse animations version.

EDIT 3: Ringtones and Notifications are GONE! (That causes a lot of issues.)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sovereignty68:
Will be looking forward to your next update! Do you plan to have APP2SD for 2.9.9.x?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Lumsdoni:
Been happily using 2.8 but want to see if 2.9.9 is an improvement.

Got a bit confused reading back through the thread, can someone clarify the following.

To move to 2.9.9 I need to...

Format SD card as just FAT32

wipe and flash install.zip

wipe and reboot.

Is that it? DO we no longer need swapper. I also remember using adb to update the userinit for odex or something, is that still recommended?

Oh and finally, are there any other steps to improve performance I have missed?

Many Many thanks for all your hard work on this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] r3yez:
wiped/applied sd.update, but when i system reboot it just loops on htc screen and hero screen. any ideas where im going wrong?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WMO_Magic:
well, got the 2.9.9 Hero version and it rebooted once on me. Just out of nowhere.

After that i was playing a game, got a call talk for a few minutes, hanged up by pressing the red button and et voila the phone was all black. Pressed menu a few times, the red button etc etc and it booted again.

Back to the BFS230 kernel, that one just works without any issues.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
2.9.9 wifi fix in the first post.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Hrmm, were they there when you initially flashed? They are there...... Maybe a bad flash.

Wifi is now fixed on the first post.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
I could if there is a demand, the numbers are pretty low for users with A2SD.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Just wipe and flash.

No swapper, edit the user.conf if needed

Run the userinit.sh for odexing
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Try re-downloading and flashing again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sardoid:
Be patient when the flash has finished, the screen HTC disappears...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jabbawalkee:
Yeah I had the same issue last night...phone was sleeping and tried to wake it up and it wouldnt wake :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Wow guys, mine has been running pretty flawless for the last 48 hours. How many apps do you install?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Guys, seriously...I've said this multiple times as well; don't immediately "load up" your device with applications after a "fresh install". That does not help the process of your system "settling down" and cooping with the "new software" at all. Also, it would seem that certain applications do not "like" the BFS patches. If you're downloading endless amounts of "resource hogs", then you will experience a virtual memory crash! It's inevitable! The reason for that is because you're basically "asking for it" by going crazy and not respecting that your device is NOW FASTER...but instead you insist on treating it like the standard Android 1.5 or 1.6 firmware. YOU HAVE A HERO ROM for Christ sake fellas, it's fancy enough already, don't be so worried about "supping it up" when it's operating like a speeding bullet prior to laying all those junk applications over top of the build. :D

C'mon, it cannot be as bad as all that! I'm sure you'll find that once you've reinstalled the ROM; after a wipe that is...and refrain from immediately loading up your device with all those "virtually pointless" applications - IT'LL BE QUITE FINE! :rolleyes:

Sorry for the rant. Just keep that in mind folks. Thanks.

Great work as usual Evil, much love.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Boot.img for Wi-Fi patch!

Evil, you forgot to package the boot.img for the Wi-Fi patch you posted earlier! It will begin to "write the boot", then end up with the failure error at line 9:

"write_raw_image PACKAGE:boot.img

BOOT:

Installation aborted.

Just thought I'd let you know that as of now that patch does not seem to be able to be applied via recovery image "update.zip" or apply any .zip from SD. :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sovereignty68:
I have no problem updating wifi fix. .9.9 is fast but constantly reboot itself while its in sleep. I just got 3 reboots, and the phone gets hot.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I had my CPU clock set to 384 min 528 max, now revert back to 254 min 384 max. With BFS230, I did not had 1 reboot on me with CPU clock set to max. Will see if underclock will fix the reboot problem.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jabbawalkee:
I dont use ANY market apps. I still got the unable to wake from lockscreen ****
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sovereignty68:
Nope, underclock did not help. It just froze when its trying to wake up when there's incoming call, had to re-insert battery. Phone just won't last for an hour without reboot especially when it's asleep and receive an incoming call. Now flashed BFS-230, so far so good, everything seems stable at least for 2 hours already.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Hrmm, ok. Well, I'm working on something updated, I think it will kick "insert noun". It will be up tonight.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Wow, I honestly thought this was one of the most stable kernels.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hitman4485:
i too experienced this trying to wake the phone. had to revert to stock cause i wasnt home to fix. i can also confirm the wifi update....no boot.img
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sovereignty68:
Flash BFS-230 from eViL's BFS kernel repository. I never had freezes and reboots with that kernel. I used that since 2.9.8.x. I tried 240, 300, 302, all gives me reboots while its in sleep mode or reboot/freezes when it tries to wake up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hitman4485:
oddly enough i just downloaded that. was going to go waaaaaaay back to 2.9.5x however i think ill give 2.9.9 another shot
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] harman2:
correct me

is 2.9.9h , 2.9.9p , or 2.9.9b , the b is supose look like this
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
No, it's not, just the transitions.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] harman2:
oohh

ok thanks is nice idea
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hitman4485:
oh no

just re-flashed with BFS230. let the phone sit and do its thing for about 30min. went to wake and no button response...now i havent run the userinit settings i am about to now and see what the outcome is.

no freeze up when waking...however i get consistent loading screens coming out of EVERY app. never happened until i enabled CC. im just going to try linux swap but if the constant loading screen is somehow my fault because i dont have CC set up properly please feel free to give constructive criticism
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
CC & LS is set by default. Was it behaving badly enough for you to make changes?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] makross:
Good ish evil! Loving update!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] calypso78:
none of the 2.9.9 links are working for me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
That's because 4sh$$$$$ is down.

Apparently they don't want me to upload tonight.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] calypso78:
damn that sucks. i guess uploading via another host is outta the question lol.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sutiban:
Its back up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] warriorofice:
The tree versions restarts my phone.

I wrote de pin 5 times in 30 minutes.

Turn to 2.9.8.2 version.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hitman4485:
oh yea had to. it wasnt a long loadtime but it was just something i hadnt experienced since first usuing the hero roms. not like that anyways. i just disabled it and its fine. actually on intial start up it run kinda choppy (even after about 20min of not using it) i dont know what couldve gone wrong but it runs very smooth and fast now. love the blur stuff too thanks a lot evil great work. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sovereignty68:
Did you disabled CC only? or did you disabled CC & LS both?

Update: I just disabled CC, everything seems to run faster. but i haven't try awake from sleep. I'll report its wakeup performance after a few hour of sleep...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] harman2:
sorry

sorry evil. i like you work so much bot i have to go back to 2.9.8a , because work fast no force to close the notification sons and the ringtones are nice and i have the swap shorcut to adjust my self onlly one problen is that sometimes the phone turn off . i know you are make better in the next one 3.0 just take your time. god work and thanks for all you do for os enjoy .
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mgear356:
anyone facing this too?

I find that the call volume is toooooooo loud even after i adjusted it to the min..

still way tooo loud..

any fix? tried the Audio_Filters_Rogers.zip

but doesnt work..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Agreed.

Evil, definitely take your time with v3.0! Do not be too hasty or anxious to release it. If anything, this could be the way you go out. v3.0 being the final version of this series, and perhaps your work all together.

If I might make a suggestion, offer another A2SD version of v3.0! I would certainly be one of the users to download that. I'm usually having to alter and push your A2SD script to have it operate, so that would be a nice addition to a build I'm actually planning to use; permanently. :D

So, speaking of A2SD, a new script was released that includes "error checking" so that system applications do not accidentally get removed while being transferred to the system/apps folder. Thanks to shafty023! :p

After pushing the altered userinit. sh is the Linux swap enabled at startup? It seems after a reboot its not enable and I have to run the command again.

@Evil:

I think you should remove Amazon MP3; unless of course the demand for that particular application is higher than expected. :rolleyes:

Anyway, your latest build is great. It seems "stable" enough I suppose. It would be nice to see the "updated" GMail (.png), I miss that "Hero-esque" look that the icon had. It almost seems as if this version is a "different" build, one that is perhaps from an "older" version, but with JAC/ski's latest kernel. ;)

Also, that A2SD request of mine...still stands. I'd appreciate v3.0 to be released with A2SD. That would be fantastic. Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Appce:
Same here, way to loud and distorted.

Once I tried Evil's ROM I cannot go back :)

I'm getting phone freeze, had to take out battery to restart. Especially when I use terminal in landscape mode, terminal will crashes, then phone is completely frozen. I only installed hero's cime input and droid fonts that supports hong kong chinese. Am I the only who's experiencing this issue? however, I still do not experience this issue when using BFS-230 kernel.

tried it on mt3g.... was sucessful after 2 tries......

it is fast .... and looks cool too...

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
No, this is not an older version, it is still 2.8 whatever. What gives you the impression that it's a "different" build or "older"? You mean, the Gmail icon? Amazon MP3 will stay, I use it, it's also small and integrates with Shazam.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sovereignty68:
I just did a fresh instsall. I let it sit for 30 mins after made 1 call, rosie restart itself, and looses all signal. I reboot the phone, password saved for wifi network are gone, I have to re-enter.

@ evil, can you please set the in call volume to much lower?

its really too loud for my ears.. :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sovereignty68:
Turn off your wifi should fix the problem. I just tested with and without wifi on. with wifi, phone reboots itself, without wifi, no reboots for hours. Or downgrade to BFS-230, it is still the most stable kernel, no random reboots. Dialing outgoing call is really buggy. Sometimes it won't let me dial out until I reboot the phone, it just keeps end call as soon as I tap call.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
@Evil:

I happen to prefer the Pulse animations. I'll have the Motorola Cliq, so it is rather pointless on my MT3G! And the Hero animations are pretty bland. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sutiban:
Running 2.9.6x with BFS-230 and it appears to be the most stable, atleast for me. Can't wait for v3.0 :-)
