I've "discovered" this ROM last night, and decided to give it a chance to bring sense UI back in my Magic.

And WTF !?? Amazing ROM ! Only issue I had : TouchFlo & Messages (sms/mms) FC at first start, but never came back after a reboot.

Really fast & smooth ROM, everything works great including Gmail sync and MMS retrieving (first Sense UI Rom that retrieve MMS for me).

Well, I don't know what to say but Great Job Dude !

...another review in a couple of weeks, after intensive use of the ROM...

thanks ttran001 !
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkstar38:
My sd card is a transcend 8gb Class 6. It is possible that it might be my sd card, but I have run almost every hero rom out there, lol. I will try a few more things, any other suggestions?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sudman:
Just loaded Ver. 2.0 today, seems to work ok and quite speedy. Will post back more feedback after a few days use. Thanks for your efforts
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
I can not speak for the other devs, but I'm the type of person that feels input from the users is very important.

I just want to know what people think about my roms so that I can improve them.

I want to know what people like and don't like.

As for the battery drain, I forgot to adjust the cpu speed.

I tend to run my device at max, I will upload an update tomorrow to lower the cpu speed to reduce the battery drain.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
What about trying my older build version 2.0 and see if your able to flash it or not.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
I have to figure out which 32a kernel will work well with this rom and then I will provide an update to be used on top of the existing rom.

Hang tight,

G1 users needed for beta testing

I would like to update version 3.0 to support G1 and Mytouch at the same time.

Can a few G1 users please pm me if your interested in helping with this?

Thanks in advance,

ttran001
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wrxphantom:
sounds great, hanging tightly onto the edge can't wait...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] x1tyme:
the only issue I had TouchFlo & Messages (sms/mms) FC. Happen to me twice while txt.

-3.0 no BT

beside that..i'm happy thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WebghostDK:
I'm running 3.0 no BT and everything works just fine... No FC and very speedy :D

My only mistake, i upgraded my Google Maps on market, which aparently from now on only is supported by Android 1.6, so my google maps is ****ed up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Samar_Djo:
I'm running 3.0 no BT and everything works fine.

Thanks ttran.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bigwhiteegg:
question here

any file i can download in order to read chinese?

btw this rom is awesome

runnning the 3.0 no BT
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WebghostDK:
I belive we soon can expect a whole new ROM from ttran.

A much faster Sense UI ROM on the Android 2.1 Framework...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkstar38:
Yes I tried 2.0 with same results, it did not work.

Okay here is everything I tried to get 3.0 no bt rom to work.:

Repartioned Sd card with 128 mb linux swap

Updated to Amon Ra 1.3.2G recovery

Changed to SPL 1.33.2005

I then wiped data, wiped cache, wiped dalvik, wipe sd ext,and one more data wipe. Then flash 3.0 no bt, it does the same thing as before. gets all the way to where it goes to sleep and when I wake it up the lock screen is there, I slide it down and then screen is black. The signal and battery stats are at the top but the screen is black.

What SPL are you running?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
Okay,

Please remember that the first boot will take awhile since there are no odex files in the rom.

This is what I do when I flash the rom.

Copy the rom to the sdcard.

Perform my otpi script from the adb shell.

It will delete all files from data/app_s, app, and dalvik-cache.

Then it will auto reboot to recovery mode.

Then I disconnect the usb cable and then peform a wipe.

Then flash the rom.

The kernel I'm using has a problem with the phone going to sleep and if you connect the usb to is when it's asleep it will lock up the phone.

Once the phone has been flashed, reboot and wait.

After about 10 mins or so, please and hold the menu button.

Then connect the usb cable to the phone.

Regards,

ttran001
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
I'm going to hold off on this one for now.

I still need to finish up some stuff on version 3.0.

Once completed then I will start on this one.

ttran001
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkstar38:
Im confused about what you said here. Do I wait 10 minutes after it goes to sleep and then press the menu key? Last time I waited for a while after it went to sleep, and when I tried to wake it, it was locked up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
Sorry,

Always press and hold the menu button before connecting your device to either power or usb cable.

If not the device will lock up and you will have to remove the battery.

Simply do not connect the device to your usb or power until you've completed flashing it.

Then wait 5 to 10 mins and press and hold the menu button then connect it to either power or usb.

This will help it wake up during the first boot.

After the first boot everytime you connect your device to either power or usb press and hold the menu button.

Wait for the usb connection sign and then let go of the menu button.

I hope that help clear up things.

Ttrann

Is ringtone/notific sounds delay common in Hero rom?? (this happened to all hero rom i've tired.). Man! it irritated the crap out of me :D.

thankx again for this smoothie rom
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
It's pretty common, I've tired my best to help speed it up on my roms but at times it still might not be fast enough.

Once in awhile try and run some thing like task manager and clean out the process.

ttran001
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] x1tyme:
I switch CPU and it help a little..thanx
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] x1tyme:
Here a result I tested with 3.0 no bt, and didn't use task manager to clean out apps.

Graphic: 99

CPU:160

Memory:126

Filesystem:32

FC:

Data syn - PC

Handcent pop-up in landscape mode (this happened to all hero rom)

Can't wait for your next release...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] musclendabx:
Slow.... VERY slow

Hey TTran... thank you for soliciting feedback. Have been trying all sorts of sense ROMs and right now, I have found OTPA 3.0 with NO BT the absolute slowest of any which does not make sense given what people are saying...

MT3G/32B

4GB Class 4 card with 32MB swap/128MB linux/ext3

Here are some problems:

VERY VERY VERY Slow (this is without ANY widgets on the home screen) and without having synched either GMAIL or Exchange) and a fresh restart.

Even though I have a working wifi/internet connection. Exchange will not synch with google (I prefer to use Gmail as exchange as I find the HTC mail app better than GMail for my needs ;-)... so no luck there... any suggestions?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tazz9690:
get a task manager to kill unnecessary processes. Also, you need to increase your swap partition. The phone has a user.conf that uses more than 32mb of swap. That's why your phone is bogging down. It's trying to get memory that is not available to it. fix that, then this rom will fly.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback.

As Tazz9690 stated before.

As noted on the first post, this rom requires at least 96mb of swap partition to perform smoothly.

I've hard coded the rom to access the swap partition and set the swappiness to 60.

Please try and bump your swap partition up to at least 96mb and please do not use swapper as it is not needed due to my hard coding of the swappiness.

Regards,

ttran001
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jephyb:
What is the best way to alter the swap partition? Just manually go in an edit the file? Can I do this after I've already partitioned and installed a rom without having to re-format or re-partition?

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drodri18:
i have this same question
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jephyb:
I just checked, and there is no user.conf in my system/bin folder. I'm running Dwang and not a Hero/Sense rom though. Should it still be there? Different location?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drodri18:
this is what i did to fix my problem. i updated to amon's newest recovery rom using these instructions http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-flash-a-new-recovery-image-if-you-are-already-rooted/ once i updated the recovery rom, i just re-partitioned my sd card and set the swap to 96mb and everything is now a ok! this rom is running smooth, no problems!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drodri18:
oh and the recovery rom i used is this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530492
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
Dwang uses a different file to configure the rom so there should not be a user.conf file in his rom.

As for mine there is a user.conf file but you don't need to make any adjustments to it.

Since I've already hard coded it for 60 swappiness.

Just create a swap partition with at least 96mb and the rom should run smoothly.

Good luck,

ttran001
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
I'm glad to see that everything is working out well for you now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jephyb:
Thanks for the tips drodri18 and ttran001. Will try this method when I get home. Looking forward to giving it a shot!

EDIT:

One final question. Apps 2 SD, is this something that would benefit how the ROM runs? A lot of threads have brought it up, I'm just unsure if it serves any performance purposes.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
It should work fine, once your done the rom should run very smooth.

Have fun,

Is exchange working in this rom? I cannot get it to work :(

I like the look and the speed of the rom, but I really need exchange. Can anyone please help?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
I'm still trying to get exchange to work but I'm having a hard time doing so.

It's prett much one of my main goals right now before trying to releaes another version.

Still doing research and testing to get exchange to work.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:

After a week of testing, I think I have the exchange issue fixed.

I will try and provide an update tomorrow if possible.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Veren:
Just asking why your ROM can't set user photo to home screen as wallpaper? I have try it with many type of picture & different resolution still can't get it work.

anyways, i appreciate ur hardwork to build the ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
That's strange..

I have mine set with my little girls photo and change the images weekly.

Does anybody else have this issue?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Veren:
Beside that,i manage to set photo to lock screen or contact, but when i back to home screen, it'll pop up loading message & this take about a minute to loading. Is my vodafone's magic problem or ROM's problem??

A big thank if somebody could fix my problem >.<
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
Okay,

Let's confirm which version your currently using.

Also, if your using version 1.5.x and higher make sure that you applied the patch afterwards.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Veren:
currently i using OTPA v3.0...what patch do you mean? i don't see any patch at the 1st page. can tell me where to get the patch?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fabioccoelho:
Hey man, i like the look this ROM. Do u port to 32A?

Thanks.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rootkited:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] x1tyme:
wattt!! a new build??? and smoother hmmm :eek:

Hook this new rom up tonight ttran...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Damar1979:
any chance that you can incorporate stereo bluetooth into the ROM?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
I've added all of the required files but not sure if it's working or not.

Since I don't use bluetooth.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
Sorry bro,

But I promised my family that I would not go crazy as I did when I cooked roms for wm.

I'm trying not to upload or cook during the weekens so that I can spend more time with them.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Damar1979:
------------------------------------------------------------------

That's very admirable of you. Family is important. And the stereo bluetooth doesn't work. It's a problem that every hero rom has unfortunately. Otherwise the ROM is quite nice

I really hate megaupload...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
This is a known issue with most hero roms, not saying that all of them don't work but a lot of them don't.

I'm still looking for a possible fix for this please hang in there.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] toolbox123:
Yeah... That's strange. I'm looking forward to the newer build. It sounds promising.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:

I'm having issues with compcache, it runs great but causing ramdom reboots.

I still need to figure out a fix before posting the new rom, please hang in there.

I don't want to post up rom with random reboots or lockups.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] x1tyme:
Take all the time you want, I rather have a stable Hero.

I have a question..about this command

# Backup your apps using the following commands.

mkdir /sdcard/backup

mkdir /sdcard/backup/app

mkdir /sdcard/backup/app-private

cp -R /system/sd/app/*.* /sdcard/backup/app

cp -R /system/sd/app-private/*.* /sdcard/backup/app-private

Will this keep all the apps I had downloaded to my sd card? and how do I use them again without market??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Can you be sure to implement the Plurk social networking application and widget?

Oh, and hopefully your build has the JAC/CC transparent notification bar that is textured.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] efenili:
I fear sounding like a complete idiot, but I have what would appear to be a simple ?.

I want to try out this ROM and have read through the first 10 pages or so and had a ? about formatting my SD card. You mention 3 diff formats of the SD card....are you simply stating to pick one or the have multiple partitions on it?

Ed
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dodo34:
hi,

how to format the sd card for this rom.

please help.

i have recovery img 1.3.2

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
r

There is option in the recovery mode to format you sdcard.

I will have more details once I get back to my desk.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
I'm glad when people ask questions.

this way we can work together to make sure everything goes smoothly.

You need to format all three partitions in the order that I listed them.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
Okay,

Below are different ways you can setup and resize your sdcard to meet the requirements for this rom.

How to setup sdcards

How To Partition SD Card With Ubuntu

From the recovery mod

Manual partition of sdcard w/parted,goto ext3/4 from adb. no liveCD req'd

I've also updated the first post to include this for future use.

Enjoy,

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Elvoski:
hmm.. everything seems to have gone brillantly uptill the point of booting.. i get the HTC screen, then the androids wave at me.. screen goes blank and then cycles over and over..

when i remove the SD card it boots.. could i have buggard the card?

partitions are:

Fat32

Ext2

Linux-swap at 60 i believe..

any ideas

** think i sorted it now **
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dodo34:
what size should be formatted the sdcard ?

THANKS
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
I'm not sure what size your sdcard is but the following two partitions should be similar to the following exmaple.

8GB sdcard

Fat32 - Rest of the space

ext2/3 - 512MB

linux-swap - At least 96mb or 128MB
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Elvoski:
I am having trouble with Google Maps, wouldnt Run..updated to latest beta, still not running, where can i find the Logs? i seem to have forgotten.. lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
Google maps will break if you update it.

The new google maps is not working correctly on hero roms yet or at least my roms.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Elvoski:
ahhhhhh...

dont suppose you know where i can get the apk for the working one do you?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Elvoski:
What could cause it to be a sluggish?

when i select a box to type in i have to tap serveral times before the keyboard shows up.

unlock screen freezes half way down unless i slide down again to reload the lock screen and unlocks fine.

other than that, seems fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
What size did you set your swap partition?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Elvoski:
219Mb i used recovery 1.5.something to partition it for me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
Your swap partition is 219MB?

That's strange, I have mine set for 96mb and it runs very smooth.

The keyboard will be slow at times but it should not be that bad.

Try restarting the phone and see if this issue continues.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Elvoski:
I have rebooted a few time when this happens but still apears to lag onsome features

more so when the WiFi is enabled.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
The patches are in the rom folder on 4shared according to rom versions.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
This is very strange.

I assume that you've setup your partitions according to the following example?

8GB sdcard

Fat32 - Rest of the space

ext2/3 - 512MB

linux-swap - At least 96mb or 128MB

I've been using this rom a week before I posted it and have not seen any lag.

Also, make sure that your not using swapper.

Is anybody else having this issue?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kmeuters:
Exchange Issue

Hi ttran001,

I'm desperately searching for a stable ROM with Exchange support on my 32B. I'm playing around with your 3.0 Version for a few hours an I like it very much (so far). Will you release the announced version on this weekend? I have to go out in the wild life on Monday and would be very pleased ... :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Elvoski:
How do I find out if I am. using swapper?

SD card partitioned as described. No other issues at the moment.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
Swapper is a program, if you did not down load it from the market then it's not there.

I wonder if it has some thing to do with your sdcard.

My current version 3.0 without BT should be running pretty smooth.

If you can, please try and download the rom again and then flash it again.

Make sure to clear out the existing app_s and dalvik-cache before flashing it again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Elvoski:
in that case, i dont have swapper..

Just thinking, would it make a difference with the type of SD Card?

I've got a MicroSDHC 8GB...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
I have a 16gb sdcard and it works fine.

I'm wondering if you cleared out the cache and wiped when you first flashed this rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Elvoski:
im sure i did, maybe i missed something, how can i be sure i did.. whats the process so i can make sure..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
Check my first post, it outlines the steps required before flashing the rom.

If not then it might cause issues similar to the ones your having.

Regards,

ttran001
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Elvoski:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Elvoski:
Just ran through your first post and i had followed it down to a T, twice as the first time went a bit pete-tong.

would it be possible the swappiness would be causing an issue? this is the first time i have used an SD Card with these partitions on my phone and not sure about what the swappiness is and what it should be.. lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ttran001:
Sorry for the late response, I just got back home from dinner with the family.

The swappiness is auto set to 60 so don't worry about that part.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Elvoski:
Out of curiosity, should i still see he Vodafone screen when i first swich on?

Jsut noticed, i get duplicate icons in the app drawer. at the moment, i have 2 Sim Tool kits..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] brandnewsimmy:
What did you do to fix this? I am having the same issue the phone just reboots if I boot it up with the SD card in. Then when it is powered on if I put the card it in says the card is blank or using an unsupported file type so I then try formatting the card juts on the phone to just get it to read it and that doesn't do anything. Any help would be great.

EDIT:

I figured out my problem. When formatting the SD card I thought as long as it went FAT32, EXT2/3, Linux-swap left to right on GParted it would be ok, however I found out you need to actually format the FAT32 FIRST, and THEN do EXT, THEN Linux. Whoops...:confused: Anyway hope my mistakes help someone else haha. Thanks a lot for a sweet ROM by the way! Runs buttery smooth now I got that fixed!
