sma**** your questions were answered milion times on FORUM :/ About GyD version ... Don`t U know what have U just installed ? What did U download and flash ? please ... Everything is here ! About non sense ROM is ROM without SENSE (for me clear)... Just Android 1.5 ... That u had before u flashed GyD ...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] suur13:
STABILITY. That's the most important thing. We all know that it's fun living bleeding edge and try different things, but if you need stable ROM for every day use, only mature ROM's where bugs are ironed out, will do. And that comes with time.

According to my experience only two SenseUI ROM's for Magic classify to that category (being both: fast AND extremely stable) - CaSense and Qtek. All other ROM's were left behind BEFORE they were 100% stable, mature or "finished". For one reason or another. Even the last SenseUI ROM which seems to be actively developed (GyD) still has some quirks.

And that's sad. That's one BIG disadvantage of communities like XDA and open source in general (I've followed Linux scene for more than decade now). Dev's do what they like to do. They develope what intrests THEM. Whatever gives challenge. Whatever brings excitment. Working on "old" stuff is boring...

We all saw that Donut + Sense or Tattoo ROM's in Magic never worked out.

Now all dev's have jumped to Android 2.0/2.1 or left the scene completly.

And I'm sure they jump to 2.5, 3.0 or whatever once again way before Sense 2.1 is stable enough for everyday use.

It is NOT for blaming anybody, it is just sad reality.

PS. I'm not talking about mission critical and/or business use. I know, custom ROM's are not for that. I'm talking about normal every day use.

/end of late Sunday evening rant.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GyD:
Here is couple a new kernel tested on GyD:

- MyHero 2.6.27 384-512

- HoFo v12 , 2.1.1-edit (the one used in 2.1.1)

- Case 2.6.29 no BT
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fabioccoelho:
The Hovov12 work´s fine for me.

:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lpasq:
nice rom

thank you gyd.

no rom flash issues coming from myhero and no issues after half a day light use with your 2.1 work of art.

the 2.1.1 update is a patch? no wipe? just update.zip?

removed PCSCII and added BizCardReader.

here is my market app list and i will report bugs as they occur:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] radonsg:
Can I assume the following?

BT working for both the .27 kernel but not the .29 kernel.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GyD:
yes, BT don't work with .29 :(

BTW, myHero cpu clock is 384-512, that why it feel fastest ^^
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] asero:
Thanks Gyd!

I will now try myHero kernel.

Can I revert back to hofo anytime just in case?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GyD:
HoFo-myHero i don't see real problems, some apps (like maps) can FC the first time you launch it but that's all.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] asero:
Thanks again GyD for creating this great ROM!

I just updated and it's working great! I noticed some speed improvements but I also wanna hear from others.

Now I only need to fix my perfected SPL to run your scripts to remove some apps. I just can't find any updated and reliable procedure yet.

Anybody else got a suggestion?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fabioccoelho:
Yes man, 2.1.1 is update only. No need wipe.

:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GyD:
Only major versions (eg: 1.x to 2.x) need a wipe

Revision numers (eg: 2.0 to 2.1) don't need a wipe, wipe only if you have FC/bugs. ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] radonsg:
Any idea if the .29 kernel have the random vibrate prob?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mike1986.:
It's not only 29 kernel problem. 27 also has some random vibrations problems.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] radonsg:
Yes, have been using .27 kernel all these while( keep the random vibrate issue)

That's why I'm asking if the .29 kernel have this issue as well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GyD:
Thoses bugs are very random() they append to me once every 20-40 calls or more, but since 2.1.1 i'm not able to reproduce the bug =o so maybe it's kernel related, maybe not.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] radonsg:
using 2.1.1, my 2nd call & it happened. Since your 2.1.1 is on .27 kernel, wondering if u using .29 kernel & if it happen?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GyD:
I'm using .27, I cannot say for .29 since I don't use it every days, I'll do some test but try it too and tell us if you have this bug.

edit: i'm having issues with Case kernel :o, it was working before but no more :o

edit2: fixed
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] radonsg:
I tried to install the .29 case kernel, can't boot up.

U uploaded the fixed one?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GyD:
Yes
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ionhide:
You updated your spl?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ionhide:
I dont have any problems with this ROM at all. I use the .27.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] asero:
Not yet. I'm hesitating to do it. I don't even know if it's worth the risk. I'm still finding the latest procedure for it.

I'm not sure but I am getting frequent restarts after I drained my battery and recharge. Could it be the myHero kernel?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] adeel_9298:
Updated to 2.1.1

Hi,

I updated from 2.1 to 2.1.1, its working nice. However, I have faced the following problem in all sense UI ROMS that I have used, e.g. GYD and MyHero. The problem is :

Sometimes, when someone calls, it just does not display the contact name and picture although I have that number in the contact. after restarting the phone, it displays it correctly but just randomly something happens and it stops showing caller information and only shows the number. Very frustrating. I didn't face this issue in ION or CN Roms. Anyone else has fased something like this?

And yes one more thing I noticed yesterday after updating to 2.1.1 (may be it was there before the update but I dont remember)

Whenever I reboot the phone and unlock the screen for the first time, the screen looks very bright and contrast is very nice, good colours etc. After it gets locked again or you press the call reject button to lock the screen and then you unlock it again, the screen looks a bit dull after that and stays like that.

Anyone else noticed this. Can you try and check?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wojtek_pl:
You are saying that upgrading from 2.0.5.1 to 2.1 (then to 2.1.1) does not need Wipe ? That would be great... Are you sure ? ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ivarson_swe:
I can verify that... Haven't cause me any problems
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] swissp:
Neither do I since 2.1.1

My advice to people coming from an older version and still having the vibration freeze problem would be to wipe, flash 2.1, update to 2.1.1 and see if you still get the bug.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GyD:
A friend on gTalk have this bug sometimes, he have it with:

- Rooted Stock Proximus ROM

- HoFo 2 & 3

- Cyanogen

- GyD 1 & 2

Yes i'm sure ;) tested from 2.0 to 2.1 ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] radonsg:
Can't boot up with your .29 kernel.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] adeel_9298:
Any comments ??

Any update on these?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lpasq:
user update:

since originally removing PCSCII and adding BizCardReader.apk, i have also added VoiceDialer.apk and VoiceSearch.apk with both working without issues. the VoiceDialer launches phone and initiates calls as identified. VoiceSearch launches google search quickly. prior to adding in these apps, SMS Popup's voice-to-text did not function and would fc. SMS Popup working fine now.

since migrating from myhero a few days ago, i can report solid performance using wifi-tether concurrent with incoming calls, email, and sms. no issues with copilot8 live nav gps concurrent with incoming calls, email, and sms. yet to need bluetooth so i can not report.

very nice work gyd!

can anyone tell me what will 2.1.1 fix? i can't find any bugs.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Krzysiec:
2.1.1 update - turns off debugging mode in kernel and speed ROM up a little ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zooq:
Hi!This is my first post since lurking for a long time.I'm used to MyHero Rom but really like to try GyD2.1.1.My question is does this ROM (GyD) comes with official Sense UI for magic?TQ:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GyD:
I don't have the first bug and i din't noticed the second =o
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] smashit:
I read all 49 pages and couldn't find instructions on how to install path 2.1.1.

Can someone please instruct me how to install this patch...

Currently i have 2.1 version installed

I downloaded 2.1.1 patch to my comp..should i copy it to my SD and than should i open my recovery image and do what?

i don't want to end with a brick phone so please help me

thx
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Krzysiec:
Just choose.zip and flash it over 2.1 without WIPE ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] smashit:
thanky YOU.. :)

i just wanna say that now it is so much faster, specially opening and scrolling my "All programs" it just ROCKS!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] asero:
The first one is happening to me also. It only shows the number and the android as picture. Is this because of Google contacts instead of phone?

I noticed the brightness changes also. Maybe now, I just get used to it or changed it already. :-)

BTW, I'm trying to set my brightness automatically using apps like locale and power manager but my phone reverts back to original settings. Am I missing something here?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GyD:
I've the same bug, it's an auto-backlight bug but auto backlight is set to false. Even with true the auto backlight pref does not appear :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] asero:
I know this could be fixed in no time. Thanks GyD!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fabioccoelho:
This ROM is based in SenseUI man. Great, fast and stable.

Rosie.apk

Hi GYD,

Ever thought of optimizing Rosie.apk ... I see some guys did it and they reduced the size of Rosie.apk from 4 mb to just 300 - 700 KB. I saw your Rosie.apk is around 4BM. Any plans to do this or is it even possible?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ionhide:
What does Rosie do ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] adeel_9298:
Rosie is the HTC Flow (Sense application)

It can be optimised as it has many png images which are large in size and therefore can be compressed ate optimized. I have seen people have done that without actually losing the quality. I am working on it but I am not an expert. Lets see if some pro has any comments on it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mike1986.:
Rosie is sense UI interface.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Remobero:
great rom .. still have some glitches on screen but that happens with any Sense rom i flash

can u add arabic lang .. plz

keep up
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ionhide:
Funny, people describe so many different issues with this rom, and they are quite similar to issues with MyHero 2.05, that people discuss in the MyHero thread. What makes the rom behave so strange on other phones ? Shouldnt it be the same on every device ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] adeel_9298:
Hi

My first issue i.e. Caller info not displaying is resolved ... at least it seems so. I re-installed the HOFO kernel (Link on the first page) without wiping and everything seems ok after that.

However My second issue is still there. The screen is bright and contrasty after the reboot. Once the screen goes off and gets locked, after that it gets a bit dull. One other person also confirmed this I am pretty sure more will do when they will notice.

My question from you GYD is what SPL are you on and what is your radio version? I would like to install the same just in case :)

Thanks for such a great ROM. After trying many many ROMS, I think this one is the best so far. And yes, if possible do try to optimize Rosie, if it is possible.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fabioccoelho:
Hey GyD, u´re already developing the Eclair ROM?

I can´t wait for this.

:D

Thanks to advanced!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ionhide:
Do you use power manager?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] adeel_9298:
No I dont use power manager.

No I don't. I notice this even after fresh install.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ionhide:
Well, you should install it and use profiles to set brightness to 0, always.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] adeel_9298:
Thanks

Thanks man, I will definitely give it a try. I should search for "Power Manager" in the market?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ionhide:
Yes, there is a free version, the paid one is better though, but i need Market enable to find it!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] amjad_2020:
And me too i want arabic too please ..............
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GyD:
Backgrounds take about 72% of Rosie weight ^^

I've removed wpp:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ice_prophecy:
Just triple checking.

I'm installing from another rom.

Steps I'm going to take:

1) Full wipe- factory,data,dalvik,ext

2) apply 2.1

3) apply 2.1.1

4) apply kernel

Is that order suitable?

Oh and is there a particular "favorite" kernel, or should i stick with the default Hofo one?

The cpu clock speeds on myhero looks appealing though...

Thanks,

Ice
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ionhide:
I cant install it ?

What is the installing procedure?

I get the same install error when trying to update Market Enable!

What does the HoFo v12 , 2.1.1-edit kernel do, and how do i apply it ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] adeel_9298:
Use ADB Shell

I have not yet installed it, but I think the procedure will be as follows:

** Just in case, take a full nandroid backup **

You will have to use ADB Shell. Use the following commands:

adb root

adb remount

adb shell mount /data

adb shell rm /data/app_s/Rosie.apk

adb push [Rosie.apk path here] /data/app_s/Rosie.apk

adb shell reboot

Some expert can confirm the steps. I will also confirm after I will follow it myself. I will do it in 30 minutes.

I prefer the HOFO kernel posted on the first page of this thread. Rename the file to update.zip apply it like any ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ionhide:

Hofo is the default kernel on GyD, isnt it ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] asero:
try starting from

adb shell mount /data

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] adeel_9298:
No problem ....

Ignore these errors and proceed. Let me know the outcome. The next lines should not give any error.

New Rosie Works like a charm

Great work GYD. Now thats optimized !!!

We are now saving 3+ MB !!! WOW

And it seems faster as well!

Salute to you man !!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GyD:
Do that in recovery, if you get error, you can ignore those two errors.

Yes.

When i use "adb push [Rosie.apk path here] /data/app_s/Rosie.apk"

My path is: D:\HTC Magic\Rosie.apk

I write adb push D:\HTC Magic\Rosie.apk /data/app_s/Rosie.apk

I get a whole bunch of text, about which commands i can use etc..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] adeel_9298:
Try using relative path

Copy the Rosie.apk to the folder from where you are executing adb commands. and replace the above command with:

adb push Rosie.apk /data/app_s/Rosie.apk

How do i add the libmediaplayerservice.so from MyHero 1.1.3 into this Rom?

I'm still getting the ringtone bug with the lastet build.

(is the fix related to the libmediaplayerservice.so from MyHero?).

Sorry if this has been asked before, but the search didn't bring anything up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ionhide:
Why didnt i think of that myself! Thank you..

Removing the wallpaper don't free more memory so you can still use the 4m optimised rosie ;)

For me, it don't really improve perf but feel free to use it ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fabioccoelho:
I back to rosie interface. I like :D

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ionhide:
When I first installed the rosie apk, I got a screen looking like sapphire on my magic, only 3 screens and the drag thing menu, plus I suddenly had moov icon on the desktop. I thought "what the ****!"

I then reinstalled rosie and my phone is fine.

But GyD, I actually feel a slight performance boost too.

I'd like to share another fun tweak with you guys. I tried defragmenting my sd memory card in Windows, while magic mounted. I actually think that it improved the speed of apps launching.

Market Enabler not working

Gyd,

I have to say, your ROM is the best i've had so far... looking forward for future releases...

But one thing, I've been trying to make Market Enabler work in order to ba able to get paid apps but to no avail. Does this have something to do with the Hero Rom? Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ionhide:
No, it doesnt, u have to choose [us] T-Mobile, and then use the apps killer to kill market, before you go in to market..

in order to install the update also (btw, what does 2.1.1 update bring extra?) how should i proceed?

boot in recov and select update.zip (the update 2.1.1) but do not select whipe date first?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] myx4ever:
There's one more thing though...

1) Right now my SD card is partitioned and I can use for storage only 70% (i think).

If i remove this SD card and insert a different one fully formated will the OS be ok?

Are there any files on this current SD required for the os to run?

2) After applying patch 2.1.1 all my settings, apps and so on will be affected by the patch?

3) right now I have amonra 1.2.3. and flashrec 1.1.3 (07112009). diff roms require different recov ?
