Its a good one lol

I love this rom over all I cant say anything bad about it my phone is the stupid one

hey I talked you last night on youtube... the fuzzies happen when I use a kernel from drizzy or jac usually the main reason or if it has parts implimented I promise you I didnt do something wrong... for the fuzzies is because the phones build date I here. If you got your phone pre release most likely not going to get it I got mine like a week after release alot of people on other forums say the samething, any how ...i have a mt3g =latest radio... the 2005 haykuro spl...class 6 sd card wiped all partitions through adb rm 1 rm 2 rm 3, repartitioned converted to ext3... I know what I'm doing I dont post here cause well people are just rude or ignorant and ask stupid questions I read here alot cause its either stupid ?'s or really smart statements, like the ones you make, you know what you're doing obviously... but over all i can try and switch kernels but I know I'm more then likely going to see problems with that later... and I lost auto rotate... like you said last night/this morning amon ra 1.2.3 has a 1 click fix for it, well flahed that last night using adb it didnt do anything for me... so my problems with this rom so far is i got blurry/fuzzies... fixed with a port, cause I'm know dev or any thing... I know how to use adb I can push things and pull like build.prop, or user.conf and edit them with notepad++ but I dont know what to edit to get auto rotate back or what to edit to get my led's back I dont see in the app_s or app folder any heroled.apk so I cant pull them and install the heroled203.apk that one of the devs made here in the dev forums... I tried to install it hering and reading that it was awesome but it just gave force close every time... and again this rom is awesome notthe rom's fault just my phone hates the kernel its using I want to use this rom so badly... I'm still using it as the problems are minor but make it a little annoying and not as good as it should be any help reignzone evil d and other super smart guys it is appreciated
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Well, let's see...for the accelerometer fix; this might be of some help:

http://androidguy.blogspot.com/

The Hero LED application does NOT function properly on the MyTouch 3G! It is designed for the G1. It will continue to force close regardless of how many times you fix the permissions or repair your file systems. There is NO reason that your LED notifications should not be functioning if you're properly wiping the ROM, then re-flashing. When you WIPE your system data, you don't "break" or cause damage to the hardware...so it sounds like a potential hardware issue. Trust me, as I said; I've never seen or heard about the LED notifications not working after everything you've done.

As for the blurry screen issue. I cannot offer a solution. I don't have the fix. Nor would I know where to locate one. Again; I've never witnessed this problem, let alone experienced it. Even if I were to research what could be causing that problem, it's nothing you do not already know. At this point...you're more familiar with the blurry screen issue than I am. So, technically...I'm not even qualified to give you the advice you seek on this topic. The LED issue is one thing, but a consistent blurry screen doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

P.S. - When I had an "auto rotate" issue that was beyond repair. I un-rooted my device and sent it back to T-Mobile. I have insurance on all of my devices.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mt3g:
okay thanks for the time bro I'll look into the auto rotate thing like I sadi though the twisted port alwasys fixes the blurry screen for me and other kernels did also but they screwed the sense ui up a little I wiped and flashed so many things but nothing seems to felp the led and what not they work before I put twisteds port over but as soon as the twisted port is flashed other things g oaway so I'll see if i can figure it out but either way I'm still happy with this rom its amazing my phone is just dumb
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Keep in mind though; the patch you're referring to from Twisted, the deport.zip file...isn't meant for a ROM that is already "ported" or designed for the Sapphire. That is meant to be applied over a Dream port; in order to provide the orientation fixes and necessary libs, modules, etc. I don't quite understand why you applied his patch to any ROM that is in the Sapphire development section. I'm not sure if that has something to do with it or not? But, it would seem that SOMEWHERE...SOMETHING WENT WRONG! I wouldn't be so quick to assume that you have a faulty device. The likelihood of your MyTouch being a ruined piece of garbage is slim-to-none. Again, I couldn't further assist you without having actually experienced these issues firsthand. Hopefully someone who has a bit of knowledge on this "blurry screen" problem will bless us with their presence in this thread to educate you...along with anyone else who MIGHT experience this in the future. :)

My apologies...but I usually stick to things I know. I'm just not the guy who will preach and offer bull**** advice about absolutely everything. Lol. Which; you should be thankful that I'm not talking out of my ass about this, leading you in some completely incorrect direction to go about fixing this. :D

Best of luck.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mt3g:
oh its not a useless peice of ****, its just fine a great phone I love it.... its just a couple of little things that I wish werent a problem... but like I said I put the port on there to see if it would fix the blurry as it did and i found I love this rom again, as i did in the past, it did fix it but it did take auto rotate away, and leds. they work without the twisted patch, but I have fuzzy lol...I'd rather run this awesome rom and have those two things missing, then run a less awesome hero rom and have those two things working but like you said hopefully some one will come in and rain some awesome on me lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Check this out fellas!

Here's a list of applications from various devices and/or user-interfaces that I've ported and have operating without force close issues on Evil Hero v3.0:

From MOTOBLUR (Cliq):

- TeleNAV [This is the "standard" version of TeleNAV.]

- Arc Media Gallery [Provides fancy organization of your photos.]

- Audio Postcard [This is quite similar to CameraZOOM.]

From MOTOBLUR (Sholes - Éclair 2.0 firmware):

- MOTONav [Absolutely incredible!]

- Personal Portal [An ALL-IN-ONE tool for Mobile-to-PC connectivity.]

- MOTOAccuweather widget [The weather widget from MOTOBLUR.]

- Media Gallery [Another application providing fancy organization of photos.]

- Gestures [PWNAGE!]

From Sprint's HTC Hero:

- Sprint TV

- Sprint Nascar Cup Mobile

- Sprint NFL Live

- Sprint Navigation [Almost as efficient as MOTONav!]

- Sprint Core [This is rather pointless...but can be done!]

- Sprint Apps Updater

- Device Assistant [Occasionally a force close will occur.]

- Status Bar Cleanup

- HTC Sync v2.1

- MySMS [This is also pretty much pointless...but can be done!]

- HTC IQ Agent

I've been hard at working trying to be sure that these applications are ALL running SMOOTHLY as they normally would on their manufactured devices. Pretty sweet though, huh? :cool:

I'll post more here later if the progression continues...but for now; marvel in those glorious achievements. (I'm not being a jerk.) :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] imfloflo:
Thanks for all work you have done.

Are they be avalaible for HTC Dream too ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Thank you, that's very much appreciated! :D

As for the HTC Dream compatibility; I'll have to pass on what I've done thus far to one of my testers. Unfortunately, I recently sold my G1...therefore I cannot vouch for whether or NOT these applications will function properly on that device. I'll be following up with developments soon though, so if anything becomes available for the G1 users; I'm sure there will eventually be a thread in the Dream section discussing this topic. ;)

Glad to see that others have taken interested in the future of Android development though. Cheers.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] marc_hav:
Any chance you pack all of those apps in a .zip and make them available to us ? :-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Not just yet...but soon; indeed! ;)

I'm not sure that I can provide a "time-frame" at this point, but I will say that it's coming along quite nicely. I'm testing a few more features for the applications. Along with daily usage to be sure that each one isn't causing problems within the system. As long as I do not experience an immense amount of FORCE CLOSES...I'll give this little project the "green light" and do as you suggested. SIGN, SEAL, and DELIVER! :D

Thanks for the feedback.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Hobby-Student:
This is the last thing, why I haven't flashed v3.0 yet. Are you serious? Is HTC Sync working without any issues? Contacts and Calendar?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DaNgLe:
I love this ROM, thank you muchly :) although its just not running smoothly on my vodaphone htc magic 32b. even ending tasks and creating a bigger swap etc using your guide above. My phone just cant seem to handle it :( I wish it could
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dBartoz:
Hi guys.. Probably it's a stupid question, but are the three partitions a must or will the rom work also with the fat32 partition only? (I'm on 32A and will apply a proper kernel after flashing).

EDIT

Actually it works with the fat32 partition only, I lost adb logcat though..

it says:

Unable to open log device '/dev/log/main': No such file or directory

Any ideas about this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sortos:
Vodafone Italy Magic 32B

I have the Vodafone Magic 32B here in Italy and so far 3.0 has been one of the best loads that I have installed. :D Also I have recently bought a class 6 Micro SDHC 16 GB which didn't really need that much but for the price why not. I did the 3 partitions

FAT32 the rest

Ext 3 1GB

Linux Swap 200 MB

Have swapiness at 40 with 192MB, Also followed what Reignzone said about some apps Cache2SD>Overclock Widget. helped out a lot. :D

I have installed quite a few ROMS now and am satisfied with Evil's work and Reignzone help.... Also a lot of info on XDA on other little issues that I have had. :o
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
I've disabled log device in the kernel you're using as it's a bit faster without it and I reckon very few people actually use it. This has nothing to do with the ROM itself.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mbrentjohnson:
This might be a dumb question... but is there a speed(operating) difference if you use the apps2sd or appsNOT2sd with v3.0?

Also, if you are running the appsNOT2sd, how to do you push apps through adb? I always used: adb push system/sd/tools/app app

Thanks in advance!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MyTouch72:
Thank you for the explanation! I've just installed the patch... i am going to play with the phone a bit more before i make a judgement on whether it has improved performance or not...

Before applying the patch, I also used the Overclock widget and configured it to run the processor at 528000 when the phone is active. The min and are max are both set to this number.

This has proven to be the single most effective way to increase my MyTouch's performance.

I've set the freq to be 245760 when the screen is off.

Sorry for being a pest, but I've asked this before but have not gotten an answer yet: What is the difference between CC swappiness and LS swappiness. how/where are they configured and changed?

Thanks for all your input!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dBartoz:
Oh, I see; thank you.

Anyway I was able to gather the info I needed via dmesg..

Changing topic, do you have any clue about the G-sensor calibration problem with hero roms?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] danfozzy:
hey guys, im brand new to the htc magic, and its development, i got a general jist on it i think, but now im kinda stuck!

i just recieved my uk vodafone magic, 32B today, installed lastest FlashRec and used Amon Ra’s Recovery Image 32b latest, rooted no probs.

i followed that i need to format fat32+ext3+swap, but amons recovery gives you the option to partition fat32+ext2+swap, which i did, then i clicked the option to convert ext2 to ext3.

so now i believe im formated fat32+ext3+swap, i install v3.0 rom, boots up, after taking around 3/4 mins on the HTC splash screen, get into the setup screen and it is that laggy and slow its unusable

i also tried installing the latest update in the REPO but makes no change, what am i doing wrong??

if i cant get this sorted is there anyway to return it back to the stock rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shizzyraw585:
Amon_RA's 1.2.3g recovery only creates a 32MB swap partition, which may be your problem. Boot it to recovery, plug your phone into your PC, and enter the following into the command prompt

adb devices (to make sure adb is picking up your phone, if it says "no devices, than it's not)

adb shell

sdparted -es 512M -ss 192M (creates 512MB ext, 192MB swap, rest FAT 32)

say yes to the warnings and that should help a lot

You stated that you installed the latest update from the repo, which repo? The animations or the BFS, the animations won't help with speed at all, the BFS patches should. Don't use 303, eVil has stated that he is using 302 with near perfect results. I was using 302 and after a while it started rebooting like crazy. I'm reinstalling now and trying 302 again, if I have similar results I'll go to 230, see which works best for you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
wow, a lots happened since i gave up on evils hero rom. going to try it out again after watching reignzones youtube videos.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] happyharryhardon:
SD unmounted at boot

As soon as the phone boots up fully, the unmounted sd card notification pops up and I cannot remount it, sd is partitioned accordingly, so my phone boots and works (fast I might ad) however I have no photos or music or storage fo apps
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] danfozzy:
Ive got the 302 BFS patch, now ive got my phone in recovery mode and plugged in, but running these commands in command prompt, were do i point it to, as it comes up with adb isnt a recognised batch file?

sorry about this, im brand new to this scene!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] juanavila:
I just have a pretty simple question. In order to use this ROM (eVil Hero 3.0), do I have to do anything special to my SD Card? It is the stock 4GB SD card included in the myTouch 3G packaging, by the way. I keep reading all this information about EXT3/EXT4, Swapiness, LS, and etc. I have also read that some users are installing this ROM with only an SD card formatted as FAT32, which is what I have at the moment. Any help will definitely be appreciated!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DaNgLe:
Hmm it seems the issue of sluggishness might be because of the stock micro sd card I have, I have ordered a class 6 8gb. When that arrives I wil see if that makes a difference.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ElahC:
I'm loving this rom on my mytouch 3g but I'm having gps issues. Whenever I use Google maps It says cannot determine location :/ help please
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] yipcanjo:
Do you have the GPS turned on? :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Download GPS status from the market and make sure it finds the sats.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadowleo85:
i think repartioning everything the third time worked... but ill let u know after my phone sits for a few hours if text still is not working
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ElahC:
Yeah lol I did that already It's on.

Ok I downloaded GPS Status and It shows 0 Satelites :o
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] chape:
Hello.. this is my fist post here.. I have a MT3G that i rooted with the one click root.. and installed cyano's latest version.. i would like to install this hero room.. but i have no clue how to do the partition that is required.. anywhere i could read how to do it?

thanks !

BTW is bluetooth wifi and gps working fine with this rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Well, 0 is not good. I can only suggest reflashing. GPS does work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] napilopez:
Ahh partitioning, that was my major roadblock lol. I eventually figured it our and did it through ADB(Android Debug Bridge), but you can do it perhaps more easily by downloading a ubuntu live CD and creating the partitions from there. I would give a more detailed explanation, but I cannot right now, sorry =[ . Just search around and you'll get it soon enough ^_^

I can confirm to you that GPS and Wifi are working totally fine on my MT3G. In fact the Rom runs buttery smooth for the most part. The homescreens in particular are smoother than they were on cyanogen =O, though I do end processes frequently to keep performance at its max. I'm running mine with a 4gb sd card, not sure of the class, though I would guesstimate it at class 4. I'm using 32mb swap with 10 swappiness.

My main issues, which are quite minor, are that the little LED light next to the front speaker wont flash a color other than green, and I've seen the HTC loading screen a couple of times since I installed, though theyve stopped recently. All in all, the best Hero ROM I've used. There was also a single instance where my volume became really low, though I don't know what triggered that.

EDIT: Question about swap and swappiness. If I have a swap partition on my SD card, but I want to set my swap and swappiness higher, can I do that without repartitioning? I've also noticed that Swapper can create a swap file(well, it did it by default). Whats the difference between using a swap file and a swap partition? Any particular advantages/disadvantages to either?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Johnny Blaze:
Is there a way to easily add compcache to this rom. I found that compcache .06 works better than linux swap on other roms and wanted to see how it did with this one?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ElahC:
woot! Now my GPS is working lol idk how but It did. Thanks for this awesome Hero rom :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BloodyWasHere:
aright... this rom is great so far.. but how do i backup/load roms to an sd card?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fridlack:
Instaled this rom yesterday, works sooooooooo good, better than JACxHEROski 1.5r2

I disable virtual memory and set swappiness to 60, seens like works better.

Finaly i push the vending.apk and gmail.apk from JACxHeroski rom to set it in spanish :)

Thanks so much for this great rom!

EDIT: The only fault i just find it's that when someone calls you the rings comes so late.... try to renice -20 com.android.phone but still sound late.... hope you would fix it
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BloodyWasHere:
how do i load appstosd on this rom? please help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pego:
Hi! This ROM works great, thx.

Just installed it 2 day ago, no reboot and almost all apps seems to be working well (no sound in my bluetooth headset...), and the everything pretty fast.

I have a HTC Magic 32B from Vodafone/SFR.

I use a 128MB swap partition, with swappiness set to 100

I get more stable/fast with these settings...

Thx for your work!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadowleo85:
confirmed... sms DOES NOT WORK... AFTER I REPARTITIONED EVERYTHING... DID NOT DO A NANDROID... EVEN USED A DIFF MEMORY CARD... SMS SEEMS TO WORK ON FIRST INSTALL BUT AFTER REBOOT IT STOPS... AND I CAN CONFIRM THIS... i reinstalled at 1 am and sent myself a test text froma diff phone and got it... 7 hours later did the same thing and got it... than reset my phone and sent another... didnt get anything... tried 3 more times and still nothing
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadowleo85:
i decided to try reopening the messaging app and the text started working only after i opened the messaging app... ill give it a few hours of playing to see if it drops the sms off like it did before and yesterday... but as of right now this still is confirmed
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fridlack:
Find another bug with 1.7x4, no hight quality videos in youtube with 3g
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] napilopez:
Well, you can't "confirm it" when others have totally fine experiences with SMS. I've rebooted my phone 3 times since I installed, and have had no problems with SMS. In facy, I am constantly sending myself text messages via msn and aim and other resources to see if ill recieve them and i always do.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Swap file would go to the root of the sd, while linux-swap is a partition. The latter is the fastest and best way to go.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] yipcanjo:
Swapper seems to reference the root of the SD card by default (/sdcard/swapfile.swp). What do you type in there to use the Linux Swap partition instead?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tazz9690:
you should partition it because you will need it for the linux swap. You can do it using Amon_Ra's recovery image and then just delete your ext partition if you want. That is if you are doing the non a2sd version. You should also look into purchasing a class 6 memory card. A transcend 8gig class 6 on newegg is 18 bucks and free shipping. You can also go crazy like I did and get the 16 gig class 6 but that'll run you $70.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] juanavila:
Ok, just to review, I should download and use Amon's Recovery Image and use that to create my partitions? What type of partitions should they be? I see most users are saying to use EXT3?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tazz9690:
Amon_Ra's recovery in the dream forums does 96mb swap. I would use that one. His new 1.2.3 in this forum only does 32mb. I had 96 swap and 60 swappiness. It makes 500mb of ext2 but from the recovery you can convert ext2 to ext3, which is nice. the rest will be fat32. All you have to do is click "fat32+ext2+swap" Next do "ext2 to ext3". Finally "repair ext filesystems" then just wipe and flash the ROM. Don't know if you knew that, but I figured I would include it just in case. I have his new recovery 1.2.3 cuz for some reason even though it says it'll make 32mb swap, on my 16GB class 6, it always makes 202mb of swap when I check it in parted. Weird. I don't know if anyone else has these similar issues or not.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] juanavila:
Yeah, I see. I was messing around with the partitions using GParted Live while I was waiting for your response. Well, I will definitely download Amon's recovery and use the steps you described. Hopefully everything goes smoothly. I definitely appreciate the advice you've given me!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shizzyraw585:
Do you have the Android SDK and phone drivers installed?

Also thanks for replying to juanavila's post. I am new to rooting and have no idea WTF i needed to do to get the 3.0 Hero Rom onto my MT3G as far as partitioning goes.
