Cyanogen has reported that the ringtone delay is fixed in the forthcoming 1.6 update.

He has already started using new 1.6 code in his latest ROMS and this now works instantaneously as it should.

Hopefully when the Hero kernels are released by HTC we might start seeing some of the 1.6 goodies appearing in our custom ROMs on this forum. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] crash515:
So we have to wait............great..........
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZenorGR:
Could anyone provide the Touch Input and Java(deleted them) applications of this ROM? or do I have to re-install the whole ROM using the update.zip ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkz:
Did a wipe and got to lazy to set everything back up, so I nandroid restored back to modaco 2.2 and installed over to keep all my settings n such (though my savegames from my games are gone...cry)

Menus are much faster. Modaco would take a sec to open All Programs menu for me. Clicking Menu then Wallpaper then Lock Screen happens SO fast it amazes me every time I do it.

Strange thing is that rosie feels a little slower. Sometimes theres a slight hiccup when using. Still as fast as Modaco when there isnt any though.

Is there anyway to restore/edit the lock screen curve image that was removed? I'd like to edit it just to make it so that the text shows up properly on lighter wallpapers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
edited build.prop and changed fingerprint line with modaco and.. VOILA !

thanx man
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
I've just notticed something weird with this ROM I've not seen before since moving from Standard firmware and MoDaCo's firmware.

I can't click and old most places on the home screen to be able to remove small widgets and shortcuts. It's almost perfect near the top of the screen (the first two rows), but the second from bottom row is near impossible to click and hold to remove an item and the lowest row, I can't click and hold at all. It either doesn't response to the click, or enters the app/widget.

I wouldn't mind betting my touch screen needs a calibration, but I can't get into the Touch Input -> Calibration/Setup window as it Force Closes straight away!

Any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] packetlss:
Tried a reboot?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
Yea tried a reboot, no help, and it only seems to affect the home screen, the actual touch functionality is perfect everywhere else!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZenorGR:
I also encountered this, reboot fixed it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lsim001:
After using DDR v2 for a few days I found that it lagged a lot more than Modaco 2.2. So although I like the lock screen and the transparent notification pull down I am now back to MCR.

Maybe with time the new ROM that DDR is based on will get optimized. I'm sure it will. But til then MCR is just more useable for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
Well knock me down, a full power cycle fixed the problem adter all, weird, sure i tried that last night! In fact, seems to have fixed a few of the (in)stability problems i was experiencing! Once again, reboot fixes all!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vanti:
I did a wipe and reflash. Still did not suggest words in "Messages" when using QWERTY and now I lost parts of market (including Spotify) so I reverted to my nandroid backup of Modaco.

New SenseUI updates were promising so I hope for more builds in the future. Thanks for providing this custom build! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] badgaz:
Can somebody advice to me regarding partitioning the SD card.

I know it is not essential but am I right in thinking if I make three partitions, fat32, ext4 and Linux-swap the ROM will automatically use the fat32 one as normal, ext4 for apps and linux-swap as swap?

Is there a certain size I should make the linux-swap partition for optimal performance?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] _KaP_:
Same here. I found DDR v2 laggy comparing it to Modaco 2.2. So i'm returning to the Modaco one for now.

I really wanted this rom to work fine, it's better in all aspects except the lag issue :(

I'll try next versions by the way :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] slimfady:
40 MB should be enough for the swap partition.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CitizenLee:
I tried this last night after a full wipe but have since installed MCR v2.2 as I had a few problems with DDR v2.0

-no access to paid apps on Market

-no suggested words when typing

-slightly more lag than HTC Generic 2.73.405.5

-no LED notification for SMS (trackball works fine)

-no trackball notification for email (LED works fine)

-keyboard bounce when using search in landscape mode (also present in the leaked generic build and recent MCR builds)

I really liked the transparent notification drop down and lack of gray bar on the lock screen so I will definitely be following the progress of this ROM.

Thanks for all your hard work ;)

Lee
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] keyra74:
no paids apps is just due to build.prop, you have to change some numbers in it so it detects an old firmware
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CitizenLee:
Yeah but for me it's not worth the hassle until the other issues are sorted. No point fixing one thing when there's other problem still to be addressed.

I'm happy with MCR v2.2 in the mean time ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
yea im working on something special for this next update!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] blakestimac:
Awesome can't wait. Flashes this one but went back bc of no paid apps and I have no idea how to edit the build.prop
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
by the end of the week!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stripealipe:
Excellent! I've been watching your tweets to see what you're up to next.

Don't play around with that G1 for too long eh... ;)

And Drizzy, i don't suppose you have any idea why thumbnails are not being created on certain setups/SD cards? Help is *needed* ......

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] patrick78tw:
Hi,

Can it be used on both 32A and 32B versiond of Magic?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OttarA:
Why do you think it can be used on the Magic when the topic clearly states Hero? Go look in the Magic section of the board if you want your phone to live:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
Blerg, it'll help when all the magic/dream developers stop calling their ROM's Hero Builds, causing loads and loads of confusion.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liamhere:
welcome drizzy

sorry i missed your posting of this rom....been in scotland for a break

glad to see another chef here now :)

NOTE ALL REQUESTS (WHERE IS THE ROM AND WHEN) WILL BE TRASHED

to keep the thread clean

you have been warned

thank you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] patrick78tw:
My mistake! My friend sent me this link saying there is a Chinese Hero ROM for Magic....

Gladly I haven't tried it yet.:p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] blakestimac:
so, since there will probably no longer be anymore updates to this, i had some questions.

is there a way to push another MMS.apk so that the text prediction will work during a text, or is it something else that needs to make it work?

is there a dummy version of how to edit the build.prop so paid apps will work? (Not a noob, just not terribly advanced)

and if all else fails, and my questions are all no. how in the hell can i get voice search on modocos rom?

thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kosworld:
the project is dead?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] McAnan:
Hi!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shaji007:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] McAnan:

thanks....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mikethewolf:
I am hoping one of you bright lights on here can help me with this problem I've been having.

I have a HTC Diamond US 3G version. I purchased it unlocked, and recently flashed over the stock 1.93 ROM to one of the EnergyROM series. I had the usual problem of repeating hard resets because I didn't do a mtty.

So now I've done the mtty, and flashed with a stock 2.03 ROM and done a bunch of tweaking and reflashing. I'm currently using the Gen Y D2 R2 rev Y ROM. One problem that I haven't gotten to go away is that my 3G radio no longer works.

I can use my phone just fine (including data) when its set to GSM network mode, and automatic band selection. But when I change the network type to Auto, or WCDMA, i drop my cellular connection and nothing works. This has been going on for a month, I've gone through many different radios and ROMs and settings. I've gotten Rogers (my provider in Canada) to reset my network profile multiple times.

I would greatly appreciate any help that someone on here could give as I'd love to get back my 3G/HSPA capabilities!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mikethewolf:
shameless bump
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mmmhhh86:
You probably tried this but just in case you overlooked it.. Did you select 3G from your comm manager? There's a switch that you can toggle to switch between 3G on and off.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Wanaco:
Have you tried other Radios?

Hi,

Some ROMS work better with different RADIO versions... You can either check witch radio is best for your current ROM or try one of the latest Diamond Radios in the following list:

showthread.php?t=470306

I'm using v1.09.25.23 and it works fine with my current ROM (netDrg 2.8) and had no problem with EnergyROM!

Hope this help!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mikethewolf:
Thanks for the help.

Yes when i turn on 3G, either on 'auto' mode or on WCDMA mode my phone gets dropped from the network.

Also I have tried many different RADIOs, and two ROMs now.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] gsmdb:
Some ROM can work out-of-the-box, other one you must try the combo of radio and rilphone. In your case you can search after rilphone and try Raphael rilphone or Blackstone. Raphael is better compatible with Diamond. Btw. I assume you already know your radio must support GSM850 (better use the one radio supported quad-band, you can always try the base radio first 1.00.25.05!)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mikethewolf:
Sadly I've tried alot of this as well

I have tried these radios;

1.00.25.05

1.00.25.06

1.14.25.05

1.00.25.08

1.09.25.23 (current)

I have also tried to use the Rogers rilphone.dll with my current radio, installed via Captain_Throwback's cab (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=465419)

Should I be trying additional rilphones.dll?

Is it possibe that I broke my 3G by flashing a ROM? If I go back to my original stock ROM will i get it back?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mikethewolf:
sadly nobody has any other ideas?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mmmhhh86:
Try to rollback.. Reflash original ROM and keep your current radio. If 3G works then it's because of the other ROM you flashed. If it doesnt work after flashing original ROM, flash original radio. If it still doesnt work (hopefully it will) I think something would be wrong with your hardware then.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] adwinp:
Maybe the ROM has hardset the WCDMA freq., like I do in mine.

Try changing this to AUTO in Settings --> Phone

OR Try flashing a radio, and afterwards install the corresponding rilphone.dll
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] jcan:
Hello all,

Although Topaz takes fairly satisfactory pictures whose quality can be sufficient for everyday purposes, unfortunately they suffer from "lack of flash" syndrome... :) By this, I mean that if the ambient light in not strong enough, the photos are from bad to completely worthless.

Since a significant percentage of photos taken are usually after the afternoon, or inside areas that the light is not very strong, the camera of HTC has become a meaningless feature to me. This is a pity, since taking photos with your mobile can be very useful in plenty of occasions when you want to capture the moment but you don't carry your camera with you.

Therefore, I would like to ask: Is there an external device that could be connected to the TD2 (e.g. via the USB slot) that serves as a flash? I wouldn't mind making my device slightly bigger or bulkier for such as addition...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] jcan:
By searching the net, I found this. Anyone tried it?

Any other solution that you suggest?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] DeathJester:
It's an LED light with a manual action to activate, not an automatic flash as described by OP.

You can get a white LED light from your local Pound / $0.99 shop for... Well, £1 or $0.99
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] lesiak:
Xenon Flash Light?

I am just thinking......what about some parts from other phones? For example from Sony Ericson K850i (which is really good) see link.

https://www.gsm4world.us/sonyericsson-k850i-oem-flash-light-d-01462_259.html
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] DeathJester:
You'd first need to adapt the circuitry to fit into a USB addon, then write the appropriate drivers and modifications to the camera software to activate the flash at the same time as the camera shutter.

I'll be honest, though... Those who wanted a camera phone with flash already have an SE or Nokia N series...
[Touch GSM General] Kaspro_g:
Hey guys...i've just installed onyx 4.7 WM6.1 on my HTC Touch, and it never selects the network when it starts, i have to turn off the phone the cellular radio and turn it on again everytime the phone starts to select the network :confused: so any one got answer to this problem please?!
[Touch GSM General] jeremy89632:
Mmm, this problem is quite unheard off.

Anyway, I have a quick solution for you, go to:

Start -> Settings -> Go to the Personal Tab -> Phone -> Go to Network Tab -> and under Network Selection you might want to set that to manual and select the operator of the network.

Do remember, when you go and roam (Travel Overseas) Make sure you set that back to automatic, so you can connect to other countries networks.
[Touch GSM General] Kaspro_g:
i have made it on manual already and i didnt work either...look i have removed the sim while installing the rom..mayb i should try and install it again with the sim in the mob?!!
[Touch GSM General] jeremy89632:
mmm, have you tried other operator's sim?

If they can work, means your sim fault.

Vice Versa, if the new sim card dont work, thats most likely your phone's fault?

Have you tried hard-resetting?
[Touch GSM General] Kaspro_g:
well...about that i found what's wrong and i installed 2 different roms and the same problem exists!!

the problem is when the fone starts it doesnt ask me for the pin while it requires the pin 2 start....soo when i enter the pin in the phone setting it runs normaly

so what i've currently done is making it not 2 ask 4 the pin code

but i still dont like that option but i dont know what 2 do?

in the same way when i put my sim in my old fone..it runs normaly and asks me 4 the pin before it starts?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
[Touch GSM General] Kaspro_g:
mayb this's a radio problem?!!!!!!!!! i tried to install the new one 3.39 but i'm still facing the same problem?!!
[Touch GSM General] jeremy89632:
What pin can that be?

Is it your sim card pin?

Check with your operator if there is a 'PIN Code' locked on your sim card.
[Touch GSM General] Kaspro_g:
yes..the sim card pin!
[Touch GSM General] jeremy89632:
Yup, call your operator for details.

Your operator is the person who charges you for your monthly bill!

They will guide you through it, just tell them that you lost your PIN code for your sim card.
[Touch GSM General] Kaspro_g:
I'm going to try to downgrade the radio version...but i want 2 be sure if that is ok, and wont destroy anything in my phone :)
[Touch GSM General] jeremy89632:
Yup, no problem, its okay to do that.

Whats the problem now :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jimbean99:
Hi all,

I am trying to find out the activity/package name of the Hero's built in calendar, so I can link to it in one of my apps. Is any one aware of this, or could some one be kind enough to look using a task manager app (I recommend Poidio service viewer, says the package of running apps under tasks). Any help would be much appreciated!

hi,

on this rom, footprints doesn t work (can t open camera device)

is there somebody who has a cab for try to reinstall footprints or a tip for fix this?

best regards
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
you'd probably get a faster answer if you post your question is Energy's ROM thread.

hi cortez,

i ve did it first, but nobody reply and it get lost in the thread, that s why i was hoping an answer here :/
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
ok...i see. i've been there before. when that happens to me, i repost the same question in the ROM thread. if there's no answer, i guess no one has been successful fixing footprints.

in my knowledge there's no such fix.

[G1 General] Deadstar:
Hello i''m interested in one between MAGIC and DREAM,but i'm more interested in Dream for its price in primis and also for the qwerty..

I can buy it without great sacrifice but i read around and discovered that because of its poor rom memory it is not going to have future upgrade by android like next "donut" and "eclair" :(

What do you suggest?Should i make a sacrifice and spend all my budget for a Magic with 512 rom and 282 ram (magic tim) or doesn't worth the difference?

Do you think Magic will have a good donut-clair expirience while Dream is going to die alone with its 1.5 version of android??:confused:

I already see it a little tired with swappnes and overclock to run Hero..what do you think?What should i buy?:confused:

Thanks!

PS

I'm speaking about a suggestion concerning developement..hope the development section is the right one becouse i'm not interested in general suggestion just a specific one refering the future G1 developement prospect..
[G1 General] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
Buy the Magic!!! just Trust!!! upgrading is always good!!!

first make sure you paid all your bills lol!!!
[G1 General] Neuuubeh:
Its not like Hero isnt sluggish on its own..

I just got the G1 around 2 weeks ago and I love it. It has pretty much everything (and then some) and costs so little in comparison with the more "updated" models.. I dont see anyone stopping development for G1 anytime soon either..

If you need a phone right now, I'd get the g1. If you can wait, I'd skip on the Magic and wait a month or 2, there are quite a few Android phones coming in before Christmas, it might be interesting to check them out.
[G1 General] NguyenHuu:
you need to think long-term and get the htc Magic, much better investment. if you are interested in a keyboard, then consider one of the future android devices that are coming out. there are several with keybaords like motorola or samsung.

the g1 is limited now on space and memory and should be at an end soon. although i am sure development will still continue, you will be limited with what you can actually do.
[G1 General] jubeh:
I'd go with the Samsung Galaxy because 10 GB of storage sound great. The Dream is a dying phone. You can still get donut or eclair possibly if your phone is rooted because of dev's efforts, but it's also frustratingly underpowered.
[G1 General] AdrianK:
If I could have any android phone I'd get a Magic, just because the G1 is a brick, and I never use the keyboard so it would be nice to have something a little slimmer.

The 32A Magics with 288mb RAM seem to be imposible to find outside of canada, and I'm sure of you could get hold of one it would be very expensive. Extra space on the ROM doesn't interest me, as we can store pretty much anything we need on our sdcards.
[G1 General] maxisma:
Get the Magic 32A.
[G1 General] jashsu:
No, its probably not the right section. Q&A would be more appropriate.

In any case, pretty much all commercially mass produced Android phones are using MSM720X processors. There is not much difference between Dream and Magic, save the keyboard and in some cases more ram. If you want a better device you will have to wait.

As for whether the Dream will get future development and updates, that's really all up to the Dream development community. I think the current userbase of MSM720X Android devices is broad enough that there should be atleast a few developers sticking around. All the talk of future versions of Android not being provided as carrier updates is way overblown. I mean heck, of the people who do care about that matter, how many actually still run carrier builds anyway?

Bottom line: if you can afford a Dream or Magic, it's still a good time to buy in.
[G1 General] traspler:
If Motorola doesn't scrw up, the Sholes would probably be the best choice. Slide out QWERTY and an OMAP 3430 Processor = Yey :D

I don't post much here but if I was going to upgrade or purchase a HTC TATTOO

http://www.htc.com/www/product/tattoo/specification.html
[G1 General] uiterlix:
I wouldn't go for the TATTOO, it lacks a capacitive display.
[G1 General] RaiderX303:
it also lacks the hvga screen, it has a qvga
[G1 General] blackgin:
This is DEVELOPMENT section.
[G1 General] Telemaniaka:
Wait for the new phones, the storage limitations can be patched with reformatting and external flash, but the raw CPU power difference will be vital for future updates.
[G1 General] Jrbourque:
This should not be in this section. Thats why God invented the general section
[G1 General] ei8htohms:
I probably wouldn't buy a G1 right now

I love my G1 and wouldn't trade it for anything currently available (because of the keyboard) but I think the Nand and RAM limitations are genuine concerns going forward. If I HAD to purchase a new phone right now, I'd still get the G1, but otherwise I'd wait a few months and check out the other qwerty options available.
[G1 General] jashsu:
The lack of capacitive isn't necessarily a bad thing (in fact stylus input for entering Chinese characters is a big reason why resistive touchscreens are still prevalent, especially in Asia). However, the downgrade to QVGA is a real bummer. Not just that it's a cost cutting issue, but that HVGA is (rightfully or otherwise) assumed resolution for the currently available applications.

Bottom line is for HTC enthusiasts, the rightful successor to the Dream has not been announced or previewed yet.
[G1 General] Shrivel:
That's pretty much my philosophy - I wouldn't buy any phone right now as a "future proof" purchase. Every phone out has its limitations: the Dream's being memory and the Magic being the lack of hard keys. As a purchase TODAY, I'd probably get the G1 again, but either is gonna offer a nice experience. If I could wait a few months, I would definitely do that - there's several nice Android options in the pipeline.

words from a developer. he suggested the magic. u should take his words since he does makes roms and see's what our dreams/g1s can and cannot do.
