I can see that you're having quite a few problems...luckily for you, I might be able to help this afternoon. Not for very long though.

Anyway, as Evil "advertises", the latest builds don't require you to wipe and re-flash. However, I do not suggest flashing a new version without a full system wipe. Once you've wiped your system, you need to reformat your SD card. If you have Amon_RA's latest v1.2.2 recovery image, this process will be made easy for even the most "asinine" person.

Otherwise, if you do not...rebuild your SD card manually using GParted, SDparted, etc. Now, once this process is complete, you can drop the ROM of your choice onto your SD card. When that's taken care of, insert your card back into your device...and REPAIR EXT FILE SYSTEMS before flashing. Everything should go accordingly, so after that completes, FLASH the new ROM.

After the ROM is completely processed and ready to go, REPAIR EXT FILE SYSTEMS once more. After that is done, reboot your device. The ROM has been installed, so it should be booting up properly. ALWAYS BE PATIENT during the initial boot-up. SKIP THE SETUP of your social-networking accounts, as well as your e-mail. Once you've arrived at the home screens, let your device FINISH booting properly, it needs at least 10 minutes to initialize everything.

Go ahead, and setup your accounts if you wish...then reboot again. Your settings will load correctly as they would after a normal reboot. Now, once you start it up, and arrive at the home screen, be sure that you do not have any force closes issues...if so, reboot into recovery mode, then fix UID permissions. That might solve a majority of your problems.

Best wishes. :D

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
i give up, just tried doing everything u wrote reignzone and my phone booted, asked what language i want, i clicked english, then it went to a black screen and stayed there with top notification bar visable....

im done trying this on my own, PLEASE can i pay someone to help me
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Relax.

Here, if you can get on GTalk, go ahead and IM me while I still have time.

mr.stefan.myers@gmail.com

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
I would recommend that you use the NO A2SD version. Wipe and flash, that's it. Compcache and Linux-swap are both enabled by default and it should run just fine. There really isn't a huge need for A2SD at the moment.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
Currently running 2.9.8 flawlessly!!! still a tiny bit slow here and there but 90% of the time this thing MOVES!

Thank you guys for all the help, im going to enjoy this for a little while before i try and figure out how to free up space with apps2sd, cache2sd, and media2sd
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DrewDanger:
All I get on first boot with 2.9.8 is force closes. I reformatted and wiped before I flashed it also
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
follow this exactly and it'll solve your problem
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Clare7041:
Messages widget

Just did a fresh install of everything. It is running incredibly well!!

There is one hiccup though. Anyone else experiencing how the Messages widget doesn't display contact images? The messaging application does not show contact images as well.

Any fix to this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DrewDanger:
Thank you very much sir! That fixed it. I just over looked the file repair part. Is everyone wifi working?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
mine does, its linked thru facebook
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Clare7041:
FACEBOOK?? Ah. I don't have a facebook account so hopefully it can link to my GMail account.

Also, I have found that any MMS message that comes in is as a 'Slideshow'. Any fix to this as well?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hitman4485:
alarm

i dont know what the issue could be but when i try to go in and change the alram time/settings i get a force close "processcom.htc.android.worldclock" this is after i remove useless apps (for myself) (ie. plurk twitter various widgets) however i dont touch the worldclock.apk and it still force closes. :mad:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
sorry that i have a question for your question but how do you uninstall apps that are preloaded with the rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hitman4485:
well you could either do it through ADB which i find exuasting typing all those commands or you can just purchase root explorer from the market and uninstall them that way....much easier
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hitman4485:
new issue w/2.9.8

so after i let the setup process do its thing after 10-15 min. i then through all my photos ect on my sd turned phone back on and....nothing but a black screen! so reverting back to 2.9.6x
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
God, you people are so impatient. That "black screen" you experience after the reboot process I suggested does not signify that you've broken your device or that the ROM is faulty. Simply wait until the splash screen and boot images have been displayed, then you'll notice your hardware keys light-up...that's a good sign, obviously the phone has booted properly if that occurs. Having said that, wait until they dim, another 2-3 minutes or so, then press either the BACK or HOME key to "wake up" your device. If a "black screen" is displayed, wait a moment, and try again. Otherwise, tap the screen, and hardware keys to eventually see the lock screen. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Jay_8698:
I have a few questions for you pros. I'm still a newbie so PLEASE bare with me here.

1) what does A2SD mean?

2) should I "wipe" my device before installing any theme?

3) what does "(x)" mean after every new update? example: 2.7xx.

That's all my questions for now - thank you.

EDIT: at the current time I'm using Evil Hero's 2.9.5x...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mmudassir:
are you using 'With A2Sd' or 'Without A2SD' ?

Take Care,
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hitman4485:
this was well after i had flashed the rom and it was about 10 before i waited for the home screen appear. the harware keys did light up...then dim...them i pressed menu to wake and oh look black screen...waited some more...oh look black screen. when i first flashed the rom i thought it was faluted because the boot images were not present but before i came on here whining and complaining that it doesnt work what am i doing wrong etc etc i decided to give it another go and discovered that the boot images were not present.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DrewDanger:
Can anybody help me out with why my MMS pictures are all blurry when I open them? And tiny when I save them? Even if sent from another MT3G its like the pics are compressed
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
My apologies hitman4485; our computers here at the T-Mobile store are garbage. I was a little frustrated with the lag on our network, ironic...isn't it? Lol. Anyway, that's good to see that perhaps you discovered the "root" of your problems. Pun intended. Hopefully you won't have anything other than that to issue a complaint for. From what I've noticed, it's been smooth sailing for most folks since the series of updates have been released in the past few days.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
@Evil:

Hey man, I think sometime this evening I'm going to compile Cyanogen's BFS-302 patched kernel from his "beta" build of the Donut ROM.

Although, I'm not so sure that his kernels will be compatible with Hero ROM builds that didn't incorporate it originally. JAC/ski's sources are much different than Cyanogen's. Who knows...I'm going to test it anyway.

I'll drop feedback here, pending that I get around to this tonight.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Sounds good. One of these days the kernels will be cross compatible...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
with out it, but i really wish i was using it.

Evil, after about 20 mins of consistant use the phone always reboots. sometimes to the black screen where i can wait it out but others it goes right to the green mytouch screen.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DrewDanger:
So far 2.9.8/a is a beast. Still running the kernal it came with and dont have any problems at all, deff the fastest rom yet. Lets just hope the kernal curse doesnt start acting up. Only other question I have besides the mms one I never get an answer too ;) is hows come my notifacation sounds stop working all the time?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
how do you setup apps2sd, i was really hoping to free up internal memory
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DrewDanger:
Download the rom that says apps2sd:p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
it sends all the apps to the sd off the bat? i dont need to make any directorys?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DrewDanger:
It sure does and no you dont. Just make sure you reformat your FAT32/EXT3/Linux-Swap, load your rom on SD, wipe your device, repair file extensions, then flash the update.zip

Also I downloaded swapper and task killer which helps out tons also!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WMO_Magic:
well people, tried the latest version(noapss2sd) but getting random reboots again. Formatted, wiped, repaired ext etc etc but still reboots.

Got any idea's?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DrewDanger:
Weird. How long did you have it on for? Did you keep the kernal it came with or switch to the other one?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jaangunnar:
i'm getting the same thing. no such problems with 2.9.5, but .8 is not treating me well, despite a thoroughly clean install.

would reverting to bfs 230 help? or should i try the rom with a2sd?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Guys, the new BFS 230+ are a little iffy right now. I am a little disappointed with some of the behavior I am seeing. You can bet I am working to remedy this though, so like me, keep your heads up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jaangunnar:
as always, you're the man.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DrewDanger:
Im running 2.9.8/a with apps2sd and havent had a single reboot yet and its been on almost a full day.

only problem is notification sounds stopped working and mms is lacking
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WMO_Magic:
it all happend since 2.9.5 and the patch (if im correct). Now all new versions of Evil's rom are giving me random reboots.

Don't have problems with mdhero 1.6.1 or dwang v1.1

Will try some more things today at work
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mmudassir:
when you say BFS 230+ means the BFS 240, 240b and BFS 300? But not BFS-230.

because I am running your rom without A2SD and applied the BFS 230 and got some FCs and according to the Reignzone advice, did "Fix uid matches" and boom it is working, I would say 90% responsive on touch, else i have to wait for few seconds.

So I gonna try this till tomorrow's morning then if thiings looks good then I think it will stay with me for another day or two and if something start happening, then gonna switch to QTek :D

Hope this patch do some magic with the Touch of Evil :D ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Well, I compiled the kernel. Tested it. And obviously, as of now...BFS-302 from Cyanogen's sources (that is) does not boot. It has either boot-looped me or provided a "black screen of death" when I've tried a few different methods to apply it. Anyway, spoke with CC earlier today...he has already cooked the 302 patch appropriately. This "bleeding edge" stuff is rather interesting. I've been reading Con Kolivas' change log...it's getting seriously "advanced". I'm pleased with the direction in which his project is headed. :D

Once I begin testing the JAC/ski sourced 302 patch, I'll provide feedback accordingly.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
To those of you experiencing MMS issues:

This message was originally "privatized" and directed towards DrewDanger.​

Well, for starters...I usually never see or check my inbox for that matter; so you've lucked out as you're my "most recent" private message this evening.

Now, as for the issue with MMS and the "blurred" images...I honestly couldn't source the cause of the issue without having actually experienced it. I do not have any trouble sending or receiving messages. Let alone any pictures I receive (and believe me, my girlfriend is a MMS fanatic now that the iPhone has the capabilities to support it) being "blurred out" or distorted in any way, shape, or form. I've never had or witnessed a resizing issue either.

You might need to try and pull your MMS.apk and push a "new" one via ADB. That could solve your problems. Otherwise, it could be radio compatibility issue. I've heard of such things being reported from users of the "Engineering SPL" but never from folks that have Haykuro's SPL.

I hope this has been of some help. Perhaps more research needs to be done in order to provide the methods of a proper fix.

FC on People Search

Hello Fellas,

Yup, the People Search still throws the FC, here is the error I am getting it :

"The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"

I am running 2.9.8 without A2SD and I am on myTouch3G running my phone on T-Mobile Network.

Ciao
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
It's an issue with JAC/ski's kernel. This force close issue is not present on Hero ROM builds that are utilizing the BFS-patched kernels from Cyanogen's sources. For instance, that's why this problem is not reported on say, Paul's builds. (Modaco) Or at least I've never had that force close on a Hero ROM that is using a "true" Cyanogen kernel. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mmudassir:
App name "WHERE" doesn't work with the 2.9.8 (without A2SD).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mmudassir:
Okay got it, I just turned off the option "Use the network to detect the location" and just left the "Use GPS to find the location" and then that App works.

Weird.

Evil D

Hi Evil, first i just want to say that your Roms rock. I am currently on 2.8 and its not that i haven't tried the new ones but i find it to be more stable. Anyway one of the reasons why i really like your roms is because of some of the customization that u put in like the see through notification tray and lock screen. Is there any chance you could do a separate zip or maybe just the files for anyone who might be interested in making a theme.

Thanks Evil :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DrewDanger:
My radio is 2.22.19.261 and SPL is 1.33.0006

Thats correct right? And thank you very much kind sir for answering me!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
im using 2.9.8 and the phone reboots constantly still, right now im currently "frozen" on the htc screen. everything was fine, my phone sat, i picked it up to send a text, pulled down the drag window and behind it was my tool bar and htc loading screen.... i walked further and closer to my wireless router and the wifi notification in the top bar still works and the signal grows stronger and weaker but cant get/wait out the htc loading screen.

i just read you guys talking about kernals, im on the updated 300 should i revert back? so far i read thru everyones posts and it doesnt seem like theres a fix

EDIT: Couldn't get out of the htc loading screen but thankfully the buttons were still responsive and was able to hold power off untill the menu came up, then i shut down my phone and restarted.

Double Edit: hey drew, out of curiosity since you arent having rebooting issues, what kernal are you running?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
i just tried flashing 2.9.8a using this exact method that has worked for me before, i got the FC's again, pulled the battery, booted into recovery, fixed uid, rebooted, still got them.

just a side question, when would one have to use the recovery option for moving apps + davlik-cache to sd?

Edit: went back to 2.9.8 without a problem, not sure why 2.9.8a wont load correctly. guess ill just have to deal with constant reboots.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mmudassir:
True, I don't know Reignzone's stuff, but he is pro that's why he is able to solve the issue. I get the REboot Issue when I applied it Cynagoen's Kernel on MoDaCo.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jaangunnar:
I went back to BFS 230 on 2.9.8 and everything has been stable since (5 hours, whereas I was getting reboots every 20 minutes or so beforehand). A bit slower, but much more stable, so worth it, i feel.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] warriorofice:
Evil this ROM runs very fast for me, but... "android.process.acore" ends the contacts app when i try to search any contact.

Thanks for the ROM, i hope you know the solution of this issue
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Clare7041:
I have the exact same issue where I get a FC whenever I try to search for a contact.

My biggest problem with the rom though is how it takes forever to wake. If have the display asleep for more than three minutes, it then takes a little while for it to wake back up again. Any fix?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shizzyraw585:
I'm still using 2.8 (still the best balance of stable\speed IMHO), but I have a question about it. If I push a new user.conf and userint.sh do I still have to run the script? Should I even be pushing these files to the device or should I just place them on the root of the SD? And if I do have to run the script, is it adb shell sh system/bin/userinit.sh or adb shell sh system/bin/userinit.sh -s ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Yes

Device

without the -s
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
do i download bfs240.zip or bfs240b.zip?

also, evil, do you have any idea why 2.9.8 works for me but 2.9.8a doesnt?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
You try both.

If you have flash any other ROM's with A2SD, you always need to format your ext partition.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
ok, ill try both. want me to flash them while on 2.9.8 then try and install 2.9.8a?

also, ive never had a2sd setup before on this phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Hey fellas,

I'll be popping in and out tonight; there's a lot of development I'm trying to assist some friends with on the Motorola Sholes dump. We're working on porting the applications from Éclair. I have one that is working right now. It's quite nice. Nothing too major yet though. I am trying to get Gestures to be useful on 1.5 and 1.6 firmware. We'll see, it's too large for the screen because the Motorola Sholes is roughly a 3.6 inch HVGA display.

Anyway, if you use Twitter, I'll be on there entirely too much this evening trying to keep people up to date on the progression. Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
i havent had a chance to switch kernals but im getting a forceclose of touchflo with 2.9.8
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hitman4485:
good looks...ish happens. i know how that can be too i have a few in the tmo crew always complaining bout the comps...ha ha ill have to give it a whirl tonight again see if i can get it workin.

Also...which BFS is good to use? with the 2.9.8 it says 240 but i thought it was bad and thats why 300 came along then i seen some folks were having issues with that also but i had noticed that evil had suggested to someone that 230 was the most stable. is the latest (302?) stable im trying to keep up to date with all these releases...ha
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shizzyraw585:
Thanks again eVil. We all really appreciate all that you do for the scene. I still can't believe that I have a "HTC Hero". I remember wanting that damn phone so bad when it was announced, and being crushed upon finding that it wouldn't be coming to T-Mobile. Thanks for making the next best thing possible. Do you think we will start seeing Hero ROMs anytime soon with the new market and other goodies from 1.6?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
tried them both, still no good, gonna give one last attemp to bfs230 and then im going to have try a diff rom, just doesnt seem yours wants to work with my phone

1-Click Method

My phone has been rooted via the 1-click method. I partitioned my SD Card as advised. After loading this ROM, all processes on startup force close. I then powered the phone off and tried to reboot. Now it's looping on the htc splash screen. Is the 1-Click method compatible with Hero ROMS?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] redmdc:
wouldnt that be because with the one click method all that does is mod the recovery image so you can apply rom images.

Im afraid to tell you the problem with the one click root is the fact that you have no local root for wifi tethering and superuser access and also you need what is also known as

the DaNgEr SPL to run hero roms normally

No blur with the 1.7x5 ROM.

Testing with 96meg swap / 60 swappiness.

Thanks, eViL :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
yep, linux swap is not dynamic unless it is already partitioned to something higher.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bobdude5:
to configure the swap settings do i have to do it the manual way or can i just use the swapper app you provided?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] yipcanjo:
Use the provided Swapper app. It's very easy.

Is your SD card already partitioned? If so, I'd (personally) try a setting of 96 swap / 60 swappiness. Then hit 'Swap On'. So far, those settings seem to be *very* good... despite my lowly Class 2 SD card :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
You can use swapper. You have to configure both basic and advanced settings.
