For now, it won't.

Most Hero ports do not work...for obvious reasons. The hardware capacity and capabilities that the actual HTC Hero has in comparison to the Dream and more recently, Sapphire.

Various expected issues w/ most any Hero port:

- Bluetooth connectivity

- ASDP (50% of ROM builds do not have it, yet.)

- A2SD (several Hero ports don't support this, yet.)

- EXT4 support (some do, others don't.)

- GPS (this is the most difficult to sort out.)

- Wi-Fi (some do, others don't.)

- Force closes, permissions issues, lag, stutters, etc. (that's about 50/50.)

Enjoy.

Hello,

are there some other 32A Kernelpatches available? Tried this one with MoDaCo 2.2, Drizzy's Hero 1.4r1 32B and eViL HeRo v2.6. All roms start's with this 32B to 32A patch but bluetooth doesn't work for me. Tried also CyanogenMod Kernels but with this one no rom starts. Maybe someone can compile some other kernel patches. Thanks for your help.

kindly regards

endebe
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] djchiena:
having an issue with this rom...i think it may be the kernel because the EVIL rom was doing the same thing with the same kernel version (2.6.29.6)

When the phone is asleep and someone calls me, the phone continuously rings and vibrates and won't respond to the send button to pick up the call. I have to wait until the display responds again only to miss the call.

the only widgets i have running are the people, bluetooth toggle, and wireless toggle.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ricardomega:
Someone has to patch a 2.6.27 version to try on the ROM.. I tried the HTC redglasses one on this ROM and no luck.. It doesn't boot. :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] djchiena:
I can't use the 2.6.27 kernel because it gives me the blurry screen on the mytouch3g
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ricardomega:
But, the blur is an issue that happens to everybody who use the same kernel+rom configuration that has a 32b?

If, not it would be good to put a link of that kernel so other 32b's try and test how is it!

..if there's a only a 32b running a v2.x modaco's rom based device, probably is possible that we can solve this issues to all (32a and b).. what do you think?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] teddy_ballgame3:
i love this rom. ive tried out at least 12 or 15 different roms and i stuck with modaco 1.51 until today when i flashed this onto my mytouch and this baby runs real smooth!

ive asked about this in the general forum but i figured id ask here because you guys may have run into the same issue as me...

i completley rely on the app "sms popup". i had it on my G1 and the mytouch before i rooted and started using hero roms. it doesnt seem to work just right on any hero roms (obv because it was developed for other devices) but there has to be a work around to get this app running the right way. first off i have all the notifications settings correct. i have the same ones i have always used on stock mytouch and G1. if my screen goes black and i get a text it doesnt light up with this app (one of the main features). when i wake the screen up i will see the message notification box with name, photo, and the message. so i guess one could say i sort of works but really fails to do the job. anybody tried this or seen this issue before? i have had this or something similar to this happen on most other hero roms so im hoping one of the sites members could shine some light on the subject for me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] juanrvalle:
Wow, great build

This is the first hero rom that i have no big problems at all, i had to reconfigure my internet settings, but, after that, everything else worked just fine, i"m running HTC Mytouch with a 16gb class 6 card (swap 32mb, ext3 512mb and 15.4gb fat32), spl 1.33.2010 and 2.22.19.26I radio.

Build is super fast compared to Evil, Qtek or any other rom, without any major headache.

Would like to donate, you and cyanogen are the best.:)

someones dropped a JACHEROski in this thread in the dream forum and apparently makes MoDaCo 2.2 so much faster. it doesnt work on magic though.......anybody can port it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jacko6969:
Has anyone been able to fix MultiTouch (MT) on this build?

Everything else runs great. By far the fastest Hero ROM available now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] old_school_sk8er:
I have had more luck enabling cc backingswap and disabling linux swap with modaco roms (cc_swappiness=100 and cc_disksize=95). Do any of you guys know any better settings for these modaco roms?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Not the best settings.

I wouldn't suggest utilizing that much disk space for Compcache and back_swapping to use. Most folks keep it between 24MB and 40MB.

As for disabling Linux-swap, yes...good choice, for obvious reasons you cannot run both.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] felixsaysmeeow:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KROMO50:
love the rom works very well on mytouch. what was in the patch B
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Junp3i:
Hey guys

I have installed this Modaco rom and Cyanogen's 4.1.8 BFS enabled Kernel.

Pushed across the latest version of the CompCache script from the link thread but still get the reloading UI quite often.

I've read about Swapper and "swappiness"? but im really unsure about it. my memory card is formated with FAT32/EXT3/Linux Swap

the linux swap is 32mb though i believe.

If anyone can advise on any changes for these it would be muchly appreciated.

If a reflash is needed for any settings im fine to do it, im doing "lite" customization untill im stable

(note: Magic 32B Vodafone UK - also applied Peep fix)

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hoilun:
Tks paul for such a good rom... I myself are using your 2.3 rom for my Hero and have just flash this to my bf's Magic... totally asume.

1 thing...

I have try to use the custom Locale for ZH_TW, then i reboot my phone... it is actually showing ZH_CN instead.... can it be fix??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] my3ghero:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LatinSilEighty:
yeah about that, i cant get it to not boot loop after i install that? any idea?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jabbawalkee:
Just flashed this rom and its awesome, but ONE THING: how can I change locale/language to English (United States)? I see that no matter what option I choose, I get a 24-hour clock. I absolutely cannot stand this. Can someone tell me how I can get a 12-hour clock back or how to change locale to English (United States) please?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Isn't there an app called custom locale?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jabbawalkee:
i searched for it on the market but couldn't find anything
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
Dude you can change the time format in the Date/Time settings. I have to do ths on almost any Hero ROM I try.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jabbawalkee:
Eeek woops haha man I sound like a dumbasss for having asked that question. I must have missed it. Thanks :)

Anybody body getting boot loops after flashing the new 4.1.11.1 kernel? I flashed it after flashing modaco 2.2 (with a reboot) without wiping and i got a boot loop. Should I wipe after flashing modaco and then try flashing the kernel?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Corey@rabbit:
also getting a boot loop after flashing Mo 2.2 then Cy 4.1.11.1

tried first without wipe then with still no luck.

Any one get this to work yet?

Also to whom every has it working are you using linux swap or CC?

thank you
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:

Solid proof that the MoDaCo ROM can be operating properly without partitioning your SD card, having a specific class model, etc.

I shot this a few days ago for skeptics of Cyanogen's latest kernel. Which btw, is quite fast. It's BFS-222, which isn't the updated version of BFS, but that's only because his build came before BFS-230 did. Lol.

Enjoy.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
I've been trying to get compcache working on the 32A kernel, but when I try "modprobe ramzswap", I get modprobe complaining that it can't find dir 2.6.29-cm4-TTv3. Which is not surprising, since if you look inside the modules.sqf file, the modules are actually in 2.6.29.6-cm4 folder. I've tried to repack the modules.sqf with the correct folder name and pushing it back into the file system. It finds the modules after that, but complains about "invalid module format". Is there anything I can try to do about that or does this mean (as I suspect it does) the modules/kernel need to be recompiled or something?

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] CoopZor:
Does this runs on my G1 ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
Another thing - at least with the 32A kernel, applications that use graphics heavily have terrible lag and/or graphics corruption. Try ie. Armadillo Roll from the Market.

Too bad, as this kernel is close to being the perfect 32A kernel for Hero ROMs - just those two issues I've mentioned drag it down to pretty much unusable :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LatinSilEighty:
so is there a certain process you have to do in order to incorporate the new kernel? so i can try to do it again without boot looping?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] konstantinosmis:
Hi. I intalled this rom to my 32A magic and bletooth does not open at all!!! What can I do? Someone thats knows something about this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nestortoledo:
the htc logo, after return to home screen is normal due low Ram memory in magic 32B, once modaco configure compcache or swap, it will work fine.

By the way without swap or compcache the rom moves fast very fast.

Only problem encountred is the bluetooth (same as all hero rom) and G-Sensor
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DJNemesis:
i got ur 1.5.1 version running since today :)

first i had the problem of the HTC screen coming up when i returned to the home screen :(

read about making a swap file on SD card,

made a swap file for 65MB and reflashed ur rom :) since then: no problems anymore :) really good work!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] x1tyme:
Great rom man....

I have the blur screen..even with other hero rom!! does this have to do with kernel??

Armon_RA said something like this...over the blur topic

'You'll not find the root of this issue by just testing random roms...

I suggest that you all try to test the same thing and gradually proceed to the next step if the previous one failed.

Facts :

RAv1.1.0 => No blur, ever.

RAv1.2.x => Blur

Change log between 1.1.0 and 1.2.x :

I changed the default stock kernel to a custom kernel compiled with the default MSN config and added some extra stuff like iptables etc...

I personally think that the problem is a mix of newer hardware combined with a custom kernel setting (probably CPU scaling related).'

Hope you give some input..It driving me nuts
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Howler62:
Im sure your aware but just incase.. 32a has same ram as hero
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paulobrien:
It looks like we have some known issues for me to fix tomorrow... no G-Sensor, Compass or (worringly) sound! biggrin.gif

If any chefs have come across these before and have any hints, let me know! wink.gif

P
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hakeem9:
G-sensor and compass are working on 32A, something unusual is defintiely happening with the sound. Choosing a phone ringtone in settings plays the tone, but does not play anything during an incoming phonecall. Messages/notifications do not even play the tone in the settings menu.

Using redglasses 2.6.29 kernel.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bobdude5:
no gsensor for me but otherwise its pretty fast
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bunglehaze:
Yeah unfortunately the HTC loading screen pops up far too often compared to a lot of other ROM's I have used, it also drags up the HTC shortcuts page each time too. If you can get compcache or similar working that will make a huge difference and I believe make this the most usable ROM yet.

Until then though if closing an app means the loading screen will pop up each time I will have to go back to a different ROM.

cheers

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hakeem9:
I just replaced a bunch of the audio related .so files in /system/lib/ with versions from a working 32A Hero ROM (redglasses MyHero 1.1.0) but still no dice on the sound.

I am downloading your 32A version now - which kernel does it include?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] XxKOLOHExX:
How did u change the swapiness

on the sound issue,

Mine rings on first install. Havent changed anything. UK 32B saphire

must say there is a long delay until it rings but it does.

seems quick on first install will report back in the morning, for me all hero roms slow down after time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cbaltzer:
This doesn't boot for me, not sure why. I just formatted my SD with ext3 + swap, maybe that's why? I'll try flashing again.

Edit: Formatting my SD back to just Fat32 seems to make it work.

Edit 2: Well, maybe. I got past the Rogers logo, now looping through the Hero logo..

Edit 3: Looped for 10 minutes or so, and still nothing, so I'm going to assume something's broken.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rockin_mod:
Hey, this happeed on the g1 a few times. What i did was format my sd on the comp to fat32. Then i did my partitions again, fat32(as much space possible), ext3 300mbs, and lin-swap 32mbs. Worked that time. It was almost like the phone wasnt deleting the partition all the way. Try that and see if it works. O and make sure u wipe.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tuffCookie:
I flashed this on my MT3G and I don't get any data (3g, edge, etc) signals. No problems with inbound/outbound calls. Anybody else having this issue? I assumed it would work since it's 32B. I have the latest ion radio installed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vtecbros:
Check your APN settings. Manually put in T mobiles APN settings that should fix the problem.

BTW use xda developers search for the Apn settings.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vtecbros:
Lets get this ROM to use linux-swap shall we?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] prince722:
hi, could you tell me how you managed to get your swap file of 64MB or link me up to guide you used?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Discovered issues.

I'm testing this build and release on both my MT3G and my G1. Results will obviously vary, however ultimately...any issues are probably universal, not device related...in most cases.

First of all, let me start off by saying...FANTASTIC work Paul, this is just great. (Yes, ladies and gentlemen - I already paid my respects to him via Twitter, so I'm not being a jerk or "picky" when posting these claims.)

Here are a few issues that IMO have been bothering me in the slightest way:

- ALL audio is missing or from the boot image screens (Hero & HTC screens)

- The lack of flip-clock animation (WHERE HAS THIS FEATURE BEEN LATELY?)

- No custom locale for (T-Mobile USA) input APN settings manually.

- English US support should be standard, not inserted from Custom Locale.

- Loading screen (occasionally) duplicates upon exiting an APP.

- NO MORE PLURK? I love that social network - it's pretty sweet.

- NO HTC News widget...GREAT THAT THE STOCK WIDGET IS BACK THOUGH!

- G-sensor issues, pretty buggy. Calibration is sketchy as of now.

- Compass is a NO GO currently.

- Doesn't support swapping just yet.

- Compcache?

- I WISH...this ROM incorporated Enomther's "expsetup" script from Terminal.

- No EXT4 support.

- Drop down bar (notification tray) IS NOT TRANSPARENT anymore?

- Crashes in the People search...still.

These are just a few observations I've made since I went ahead and flashed this ROM to both my G1 and MyTouch 3G earlier today.

* Please keep in mind; I'm not complaining, this is a compiled list of suggestions, issues, and potential fixes, for developers to consider or look out for when cooking this Hero update.*

- Trust me, this is constructive...he posted on Modaco @ Android saying that he wanted issues to be reported by any means necessary. Let's keep these posts coming. Thanks guys.

EDIT: HTC_IME is very sluggish, doesn't respond well to multi-tap key input. Messaging displays unable to deliver report 30-40% of the time. Tested 100 text messages...varied in length for each.

EDIT 2: The TouchFlo scroll track on the home screens disappears when you scroll from screen to screen. Now, obviously that isn't an operating issue...however, it looks so strange. No other HERO ports have done this?

EDIT 3: Receiving text messages in succession causes the phone to freeze and crash. I had to pull the battery from my spare, reboot, and then tested this issue again...repeated freezing. Rebooted again.

EDIT 4: Widgets are causing home screen crashes more often due to NO swap support and no CPU frequency sampling. There isn't any "lag" or hiccups occurring without the widgets, but for now...load screens after more than TWO widgets fully loaded.

EDIT 5: Browser is absolutely fantastic, snappy, reliable, and Flash seems to work...for the most part. Still doesn't seem officially Adobe Flash 9. Anyway, the browser crashes the home screen, bringing you to yet another loading image upon exiting the application. (This should only occur if you were mobile browsing several websites...it stacks cache! PUN INTENDED!)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] quadmux:
I have the same problem. Reboots constantly. I even tried re format to fat and tghen swap and ext. Same behaviour. looping on Rogers screen. Worth it a shot though. Waiting for next build to try.. thanks for doing this modaco..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hakeem9:
Aside from the no sound issue (which is obviously major), this ROM has been running flawlessly for me on my 32A device using redglasses 2.6.29 kernel/boot.img.

If I could just figure out how to fix the sound this would be perfect. Bluetooth still not working properly for phonecalls, but that's standard at this point across all Hero roms.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ElChouch:
Hi Modaco,

Any idea about when you'll be able to release a new version ?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paulobrien:

- Switch to Cyanogen's kernel

- Fixed G-Sensor / Compass

- Fixed sound

- Unified Dream / Sapphire 32B download

Run swapper to get good performance.

Priority now is dropping the bits in that are required to run compcache, then we should have a sweet, sweet build! ;)

P
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Yammeh:
Can I ask how long this process usually takes?

I've flashed my phone before, but it was a while ago. I've looked back to see another ROM is being developed so I thought I'd give it another shot. My phone has been "deleting files" for about 15 minutes now, I'm pretty sure that it didn't used to take this long to. Is there anything I can try to do to restart/cancel/fix this flash?

Regards,

Liam

No lag in the people application after facebook sync, ect... Your ROM build is verry snappy :) Thank you!

Since Magic 32A has the same amount of memory as the Hero, I think using compcache, swap, ect... just make the device less responsive. Why compress or put data on a SD card if it fit into the real memory (which is much faster)?
