Great, but some issues..

Everything inside this ROM package is awesome. Truly, a sense experience. Now, i have the HTC Magic (i do believe), aka the myTouch 1st gen. Loaded the ROM onto it, and startup time was insanely long. Also, the rom runs well, everything seems to be in working order, but it's very slow, and laggy. I'm not sure if this is because i have a slower HTC phone, or maybe there are some things i didn't do before i loaded the ROM. :confused: Is there anything whatsoever i can do to keep sense ROM, and speed up performance? This is a guy coming from the HD2.. So.. i'm dying here. :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ijoshv2:
BUMP. -.-:eek:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] keinengel:
If you want speed, use Cyanogen's ROM. You're not going to see any major improvement in speed running a Sense ROM on 32B.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nickislauw:
well actually u will.

im using a veeeeerry fast sense rom on my first gen mytouch.

this is the rom i talking about:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=563294

just flash it and see yourself how fast it is!

nearly as fast as a stock rom!!!!!

if you got problems you can always ask me ;)/

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ijoshv2:
Thanks, but i've been there and done that. Not any better. I've come from having an HD2. SenseUI is a must, ATM.

Thank you, nick. I'm gonna go download that, and i'll get back to you if there are any issues. Thank you!

Oh, I wasn't trying to be pushy. I just wanna try it out, sounds like exactly what I have been looking for in a ROM. But yeah. Take all the time you need.:D

Folks,

I'm uploading the following versions, please hang in there my connection is not that great.

Full with Compcache - Done

Lite with Compcache - Done

Full with Linux Swap

Lite with Compcache
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mt3g:
will do

I'll test the full with, linux swap when you upload it...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
Thank you and let me know how it goes.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] x1tyme:
Ttran -

I have Blur screen issue with Lite - With Linux Swap, but I tried again with Lite - With Compcache the blur screen went away.

Is there any difference that might caused this???

thanks for the roms..I'm running lite compcache right now
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
This isn't based from 2.2!

There is no way this is based from MoDaCo 2.2 - the boot image is broken as it was in MoDaCo 1.5.1 - and that's from the OLD WWE system dump! (1.79)

Sure, the build number suggests that it's "correct"...but then again you can edit the build.prop to whatever you'd like.

Is there any reason for the random "dual boot" similar to the issue that Twisted's latest had. Then again, he actually said it was going to cause a double boot process to initiate the correct setup.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] toolbox123:
Okay so I'm still getting the "E: Failure at line 4 copy_dir PACKAGE: data DATA:

Installation aborted."

Could it be because I'm using the one touch root method?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LatinSilEighty:
Okay so I'm new to the whole hero rom world, ive been on jf and cyanogens builds for like forever. And I just tried the lite and was wondering if the full w/LS also has issues with, not having a gallery, not having wallpapers and non working tethering?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lwick74:
I tried the full CC version, I'm stuck on the "my touch green screen". I wiped my ext3, not sure what's going on....Nandroid her I come! What size Linux swap and ext3 do you recommend? I just used the Amon recovery format for the sd....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
The compcache version is a mix of both 1.5.1 and 2.2.

The linux swap is mostly 1.5.1.

I just forgot to update the build.prop.

As for the boot screen, I'm only using the single image instead of the two with the audio.

I hate that sound when it boots up, sorry.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
The cc version takes a long time to boot from the splash screen, you have to wait.

I'm using the full right now since people said the same thing.

I downloaded it from the same link and using rite now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lwick74:
I'll try it again, how long would you say?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
It took me a few mins, the first time it booted up I thouhght it was stuck too.

So I connected to adb and saw that it created the swap file and was sitting there for awhile.

It should boot, I've tested it myself.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
Folks,

I'm still in the learning process on the android side, so please hang in there with me.

I think that the news buils run a lot better then the first one and they will get better.

For now I'm testing with other roms and soon will create my own, but that requires time for me to figure things out.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
The lite does not contact wallpaper, the full does.

As for the tethering, I forgot to test that part.

If you saying that it does not work then I will make sure to not that and fix it in the next update.

Thank you for your feedback.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LatinSilEighty:
yeah i tried uninstallng the Tethering app that was with the rom and installing the apk seperately and neither of them worked, if it would have worked, i would have looked past the wallpaper and gallery stuff :( unfortunately tethering is the only way i get internet lol

this rom seemed to have been running really fast, and i was tired of the "Google" experience already, but unfortunately i had to go back to Cyan 4.0.4 for now.

you are the man and your rom is running super fast, keep up the good work
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lwick74:
I've been in the green screen for almost 20 minutes. I can adb and get a ls of the directories.. I'm wondering if the standard partions in RAv1.2.1 (500MB Ext3, 32MB Swap, remaining Fat32) are causing the problems. I might try using Gparted to increase the swap partion to 100mb and re install upade.zip?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
20 min is way tooo long.

I have pretty much the same setup but with a 16gb sd.

I'm using the latest version of Rav recovey mode.

Since your in adb, please issue the followng command and they try and flash it again.

rm -r /system/sd/app_s/*.*

reboot recovery

Then wipe and flash it again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] x1tyme:
Now i know why there blur screen when i flash linux swap 1.5.1, it based on modaco 1.5.1 only...

I'm running your lite compcache version..smooth so far.

btw, andriod keyboard just killed LOL:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
Thanks for the feedback, please keep me posted of bugs you might run into.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
If you could patch the boot image that would be fantastic. All-in-all, the build isn't terrible...especially considering it's your "first" go at Android designs.

Perhaps in the future you could snag the MoDaCo 2.2 build in its entirety, then patch it with the latest BFS-kernel, ship one that's completely packed with every application and widget, then offer a fully-optimized version...as you have already.

Trust me, MCR 2.2 is the fastest overall ROM to-date. If you simply use that ROM build as the basis, this thing will fly with your improvements.

Paul said that someone would need to pick up where he left off. Will it be you? :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Damar1979:
omg!!!!! you are the man!!!! Yours is the FIRST hero ROM that actually supports Stereo bluetooth! shoot!!! Bluetooth period!!!!! God Bless you man!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lwick74:
I wiped, reformatted with gparted, and I still got hung up at the splash screen with the CC full version. I downloaded the full ls version and booted right up. I'm not sure why cc wont work with my MT3g? I'll play with it more tomorrow but this version seems fast with LS. Thanks for the hard work ttran!

Edit:

The Wifi is unable to start

I'm unable to change from Linux swap to Compcache using otpcc in adb (just says changing to linux swap? Are you using this user configurable userinit.sh V0.1.5.3

FC with Camera after trying to look at pictures

Everything else seems to work very nice!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LatinSilEighty:
Word of advice if it hasnt been brought up before, dont Tether while transfering files through data cable, as soon as you unmount it, your phone will come up with the "sd card damaged" notification, this happened to me three times today and i finally figured out what it was , because of this Ive actually gone through about 4 hero roms today

luckly it happened right as i checked out to see if this rom was finished, i dont know what it is about these hero roms but i guess they dont like it when you tether and transfer at the same time.

lol sure do wish i would have payed for the internet now, oh well buh buy Modaco 1.5.1 hello ttran001.v.1.1-LS

Edit: thought you fixed the whole no tethering issue and the gallery issue si i ended up getting on MoDaCo V2.2 instead, maybe when those two things are fixed i will re-try the rom, otherwize it runs pretty good
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nycbasic:
Are you sure this is the fastest ROM to date? I mean besides the Rosie UI being fast and smooth, I don't think anyone is considering the overall smoothness of the transitions btwn the applications and multiple applications to the home screen.

I've found that many of the Hero ROM's were slow on this transition btwn the Home Screen and Applications. MoDaCo's 1.5.1 supposedly the fastest ROM has a very fast Rosie UI, but fails when going from home screen to application, vice versa, or using multiple application and having them run in the background. Never-the-less, I don't expect it to be blazing fast, as know that running applications in the background takes up memory which slows the ROM down. But I was only running two applications, and I got sooooo many foreclosures, and a lot of freezes. I was just fed up.

Like I said, I don't expect it to be blazing fast, but manageable and smooth enough to deal with. The ROM that I've found that can handle the most apps in the background with decent transition time from apps to HS is JACHeroSki v2.1.

I'm not bashing MoDaCo's ROM, but I'm just tired of people saying that it's the fastest only judging it from the basis of the Rosie UI. I think we need to consider the ROM as a whole.

That's my two cents!

Edit: I'm not making any comparison to the MoDaCo 2.2, this the solely based on the 1.5.1 MoDaCo build.

Feedback

Folks,

Please provide feedback as to how the roms are running.

This way I can make adjustments as needed before moving forward with an update.

Things to fix:

1. Restore HTC Album and Photo widget.

2. Clean up misc files.

Still listing...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LatinSilEighty:
Dont forget the tethering issue :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
Could you tell me more about your issues with the tethering?

I've tried it and it works, also which rom are you using so I can pin point the cause.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] x1tyme:
lite Compcache version -----

1.Force close with Camera after trying to look at pictures

2.Camcorder don't load.

I'm happy with the rest (HOPE it run smoother than this later on) :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LatinSilEighty:
i was trying out the full & Lite w/LS, and my wifi adapter on my computer doesn't pick it up for some reason, like i doesn't receive the signal, but whenever im on any other build it works just fine, like right now for instance im using it as we speak on MoDaCo V2.2
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
The camera is due to the package I used, I have noted that.

As for the wifi, I will look into this issue.

The wallpaper will cause fc since I remember most of them.

I will add these notes to the list.

I think that was just because I hadn't yet cleared the app_s folder properly. After that I did "rm -Rf /system/sd" to be sure there was NOTHING on my ext3 partition that could be a problem.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lwick74:
Thanks TTran!

I would love to get the CC version working. I got a little further, Re gparted, ran the MoDiCO version then wiped the apps and system wiped, re flashed and I got past the green screen. Now I'm stuck on the HTC black screen(hey it's progress). Any chance of implementing EXT4 support in the next update?

ttran001.v.1.2 full with Linux Swap has been posted.

I went back to build 1.79.482.3 146733 with Jac's kernel 1.6.2 for now.

The rom has been running move for me for a week now.

Wifi

HTC Album/Camera

Have been fixed.

Still working on a new build for the Compcache.

And will also post a version with a mix of A2sd, meaning only the app stull will be moved to sd.

I know that we have more space on the 32b but I use a lot of apps so if I removed A2sd completely I'm left with only 120mb.

ttran is MyHero

ttran - you are the man! I have been following your work on the Wing and am sooo glad you're back in action with the Android and Sapphire! I loaded 1.2 and have almost 300MB free storage in my MT3G! I do have a couple of issues :-(

1. The first run (setup) resulted in the 'blurry' screen syndrome with the characters having missing vertical lines through them. A reboot has fixed it, but after waking from a sleep, I always get the blur again.

2. Both WiFi and Bluetooth see other devices, will 'pair' but never connect. My MT3G worked for both. When I reload a non Hero ROM they both work.

Any ideas? Keep up the great work!!!

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
The blur screen might be due to the build I'm using.

Also, how did you root your mytouch?

I've notice that people who used the 1touch seems to have the blur screen.

I've rooted a lot of phones using the orignal method with gold card and all of them are using my rom without the blur screen.

As for the wifi and bluetooth I though they were working.

I don't use bluetooth so I was not able to test that part, but did test the wifi.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Damar1979:
I agree that you are the FLASH (AAHaaaaaaaa!!!) of the hero ROM. no bugs to report thus far. and Stereo bluetooth works (which made me like your rom in the first place). thank you for all the work you put into this rom, and roms that you've worked in the past, as well as in the future. :-)

i second the ttran being the FLASH ( AAHaaaaaaa!!!!) of the Hero ROM. no problems here. bluetooth works fine (that made me like your rom in the first place. and seems very stable otherwise. will let you know if otherwise. thank you for all the work you put into this rom, roms that you've worked on prior, and ones that you will work in the future

ttran, I did use the 1Touch rooting but from the other threads it doesnt seem to always be a 1Touch issue. Its really annoying and I can live withour WiFi or Bluetooth for now. Otherwise you mods are totally the best. I have tried them all, believe me. Is there anyway you can reupload the apppak someplace else? I keep getting an 'unsigned error' and the install aborts. I am willing to unroot, re-root Goldcard and reload your v1.2 and see if the blur is gone. But reloading all the apps is a bummer. I'd love to use your app saver utils! Thanks!!!

To use the app-pack do the following.

Create a folder on your sdcard if one does not exit yet.

sdcard/backup/app

then extract the app-pack and place files from the app-pack into the app folder fo the sdcard/backup

Example:

/sdcard/backup/app/Tethering.apk

Then connect your phone to your computer and use adb shell

Type the following.

otpm - this is to mount the system with read + write

otpr - This will copy all files from /sdcard/backup/app to the correct folder

Then your system will reboot once completed.

That's it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] prophetz:
This has got to be the smoothest Hero ROM that I have installed! This is how it should be! Only issue I have the Blurscreen after sleep! everything is fine after a reboot, once the screen goes black its a blur. Setcpu is not helping. Going to find a way around this, this rom runs to nice to let this go.

Keep it up, great job.:cool:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mt3g:
the blur screen i think has something to do with the kenel version cause on cyanogens kernel never got blur then tried zeroxd like a month ago got the blur jacski blur but modaco 1.5.1 blur but patched cyanogen bfs kernel over the modaco 1.5.1 rom and blur was gone... lets not spam this rom build with another discussion though... what are the things in this rom that actually need improvement or would you say this is as stable as it is gonna get?even though there is no such thing as stable, lol.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
I think your correct about the kernel version.

As for being stable, this one seems to be pretty stable so far.

I've been using it for over a week now and have not have any reboots or lockups.

It's not the fastest kid on the block, but everything seems to be working fine for me.

The only thing I have not tested yet is the bluetooth since I do not use bluetooth.

I'm still working on a compcache version and waiting for Jac to update his kernel before moving forward.

I'm also playing around with making my own kernel but have not been successfull yet.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LatinSilEighty:
i know people tend to go back and foward about this and noone seems to have the right answer but i figured i ask you since you said its been running good for a week or so, so what do you have your linux swap at? 32mb? 64? and swapiness? also what do you think would be the most effective way to actually configure your swapiness? ive been trying out those swapper apps on the market but i get the feeling those arent actually doing anything
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
The rom has the swappiness set at 60.

I use a 96mb swap and the 60 swapiness.

It seems pretty snappy to me, but then that my option.

Once Jac updates his kernel, I will create the compcache version, which should be much better.

For now the Linux swap has been working fine for my daily use.

The current build has not locked during or after a phone conversion.

It did not go to sleep and then locked up.

All in all its working fine.

Enjoy,
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LatinSilEighty:
thanks after figuring out how to use swapper correctly and doing a 96mb swap and setting the swapiness to 60 got everything working very very well, i can honestly say this is a very very dependable rom and thanks for the great work,

on another note i also figured out why it was that putting the data cord in then taking it out would damage the sdcard every once in a blue, it was because i didn't know i had to turn swap off before unplugging it, so in case anyone doesn't know it there's another little bit of info from a SWAP noob to other SWAP noobs

If it gets rid of the blur and runs as good as the one you have now Im all in. I dont know what it is about ROMS and these phones, but I have two 32B phones and the same rom will run differently on each! Looking forward to your next!
