Please don't do this! the a2sd script does more than just provide apps2sd. I know I haven't updated the first post yet, but I did mention all you had to do if you want to enable auto apps2sd is LOOK at the a2sd script & userinit in /system/bin. The system looks for a user.conf file on the /system/sd. The a2sd script & userinit scripts are slighty modified versions of what have been posted here on xda for enabling swap, compcache, etc in your /system/sd/user.conf file. If you want to enable apps2sd, etc, copy the file user.conf file from /system to your ext2/3 filesystem, edit it, & reboot. The scripts in place will take care of the rest! In user.conf, the line that says apps2sd=0, change it to apps2sd=1 and reboot. Then you'll be good to go. I've tested it, it works. But if you're going to download this build...Wait for a short while. I'm building a new kernel now & plan on making some a few more minor changes.

Thank you kb7sqi we waitt your update agine thank you very much
[G1 Android Development] bestwebs:
Hi,

Thanks for posting the instructions.

Did the script that I pushed do any damage?

The build does run very fast without compache, linux swap or cpu scaling.

The flash browser is nice and works good also.

Thanks

THANK YOU

This rom is great! Are you planning to include donut into this rom with your future updates? Are there any know bugs? eg: bluetooth problems etc...
[G1 Android Development] fox12345:
thanks for your great effort .but there is

*bluetooth problems won't work direct instillation or fast push ,:confused:

*themes will not work :confused:

*some app not working due to communicating with native :confused:

i love it but ??????????????????
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
I'm sorry, I see by your post count you're fairly new, but how do you really expect to get a detailed answer w/ a post like that? How about some details?

Bluetooth works fine. It's been tested. What exactly were you trying to do?

You're right, themes haven't been ported for this build. I wouldn't exactly call this build a "high" usage rom. It's was released for a specific region. I just happen to like the flash support & it's actually a very nice build. Trust me, I love the Roger's builds. I support one very similar to this build. Enomther & Soulife also have some awesome Roger's builds for both the G1/myTouch 3g!

What apps aren't working? I've had no problems w/ any of the apps. I'm not from the arabic region, but I did test the apps. They work. All other apps work in other languages as well. The HTC_IME keyboard is also included just for that reason. You have a choice between the ParfieldIME or HTC_IME softkeyboards. Please excuse my tone, I really mean no offense, but I need details of the problems. The Android Log app is included for that reason, or how about an adb locat log? I hope that helps. Take care.
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Just FYI, I've updated the first post w/ a changelog & posted 2.5.1 of the build. Sorry for the delay, but ran into a major snag when building a 2.6.29 kernel. It runs great until you try to use the camera/camcorder. :mad: We actually have the same problem on the Rogers builds. We're still looking into the issue, so I decided I'd go ahead & atleast post the optimized build. I was able to shave off around 1.8 megs and it's noticable while running. Hope you like the update. Take care. ;)
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Hi bestwebs,

It's not that you'd "damage" the system. If you pushed soulife's a2sd script it would work, but his script is designed more specifically to his build and the compcache support is made for compcache-.0.6 & not 0.5.3. If you look @ the a2sd script in this build, you'll notice the first thing it does is setup some default.xml files for the G1/myTouch. That's so the system identifies itself properly. Then it goes onto starting up the rest of the userinit script, setting up swap, compache, cpu scaling, apps2sd, etc. Hope that explains it to you & I agree, the build does run really nice w/ out all the extras. I was pleasantly suprised the first time I flashed it. ;) That's why I've been running it now since. lol. Take care.

Is it possible to use the htc keyboard for both arabic and english and just switch between the 2 in real time? Also is it possible to keep the system language english and just use the arabic keyboard for input? (not sure if that last part made sense)

[G1 Android Development] bestwebs:
Hi kb7sqi,

I appreciate all the great work that you are doing.

After flashing about 30 different roms, I always come back to yours.

Thanks again.

:)
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Hi hypmatize,

You really can't swap between the HTC_IME keyboard & ParfieldIME keyboard in real time sorry. The HTC_IME keyboard also don't support arabic as you're aware of. The ParfieldIME keyboard does support both English & Arabic though. So if you want to keep using English & be able to use the ParfieldIME keyboard, it should take care of what you're wanting. Hope that helps. Take care. Thanks for the feedback on the speed. If you ask me, all the previous HTC Magic/Rogers builds should've been built like this release. ;) Even though I don't need the arabic support, I do like the build.
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Hi karimb,

If you want to replace the Browser w/ Better Browers 1.4.3, that's your choice. But in doing that, you will loose the flash support. May I ask why you want to replace it though? Take care.
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Thanks for the kind words bestwebs. :) Trust me when I say, this build & my Rogers builds wouldn't be what they are if weren't for all the great developers here on xda & others not here on xda. While working on the Rogers builds, I spent many hours chatting it up w/ Soulife & Enomther. Getting school'ed & just having some great laughs. I've learned alot from both of them. Take care.

Hi HishamN,

Please feel free to use any part you like. It's not my rom. ;) I was just providing a port for others to use. Take care.
[G1 Android Development] HishamN:
Hi,

Thanks a lot for reply, but could you please give me hint which part should I use to support Arabic in Hero?

I tried to push framework to Emulator but didn't work! also I pushed the lib folder and I got same result!

If there is a specific lib or file I appreciate your help to tell me which one should I use.

Many thanks

Regards
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Hi HishamN,

First you'd need to de-odex the parts you're interested in w/ JF's excellent tools. Without a doubt you'd need the /system/fonts as they are different, you'd need ParfieldIME, Dictionary, UserDictionary, and the support libs. The problem I'm afraid you might run into is the support libs. I ran in to this yesterday while trying to upgrade the kernel to a 2.6.29 kernel & the camera failed to work. It kept FC'ing. I tried different to replace some different libs, & the camera apk w/ no luck. This build is kinda of a HTC Magic w/ a little bit of Hero mixed in. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I don't have a need for it. Sorry. As I've stated...My personal reason for porting the build was mostly because I liked the build itself along w/the browser/flash support. I wish you all the luck! Take care. :)
[G1 Android Development] HishamN:
Many thanks for your clarification, I'm really not interested in camera and I will try to do as you said, maybe I get luck to Arabize Hero :) .

hi kb7sqi

i'm not trying to be rude here ,i love your work ,but i think there is too much security or denying to access the rom

i have 32b touch 3g

sapphire pvt 32b eng s off h

hboot 1.33.2010

2.22.19.261

my phone is rooted , i was using CyanogenMod v 4.04 with no problem

i just install v.251

and i try to install com.alex.bluetoothfileshare v 1.12

but it give me this errors:

*there was a probliem trying to communicate with native program.this may indicate that there is a bug in the program but it could also indicate that you don't have access to root.

*error open jini lib

*you don't have access to root mode . as started in the market description ,this prgrams only works in root mode.

remember that "su" binary must exist and correct permissions.

com.alex.bluetoothfileshare

i,m doing wrong or i have some problems ?????????????
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Hi fox12345,

Thank you for providing more detail! :D That's something I look into. The rom does provide root support. I'm using WifiTether, AdFree w/ 0 problems. I haven't installed this application, but I'll be happy to see what the problem is. It could be the app itself, or maybe possibly something isn't quite right w/ the build. Let me look into it & I promise to follow up w/ what I find. Again, I meant no disrespect & didn't want to be rude either, I just needed more details. I'll let you know what I find. Take care. :)
[G1 Android Development] fox12345:

Hi,

I am using a G1 flashed back to 2.5 and browser flash works again.

Tried to enable linux-swap but the phone doesn't show it when you type free.

Then I enabled just a2sd, compcache no back swap or linux-swap and the phone is much speedier.

Just an update.

[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
It seems when I "optimized' the build, the FlashPlayer.apk/Browser.apk didn't like it too well. I had tested it, but it was a quick test. Once I tried a "Flash" game, it failed. I'm uploading 2.5.1.1 right now w/ the fixed items. :-)

So how did you downgrade the spl? did you just go into recovery and flash the update or did you go to hboot mode and flash that way? Did you flash the spl after you flashed the rom? or does it not matter i can flash the new spl at any time?

its simple just put it in sdcsrd and flash it in recovery mod,

Hey,

I am just wondering is it possible to pull the Arabicaziation of your Rom and push it in to another Rom.

Many Thanks and Appreciations. :)
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Hi Hamdan,

There's been a few people looking into this. I've gave some hints on doing this, but I have no intention of working on it. As stated in my first post, I had two reason for working on this build. First because it's a great build & it also contains flash support. This is the primary reason I like the build. My second reason was to try to give something back to the great folks here on XDA & in the android community that needed a rom that provided Arabic support on the G1/myTouch3g. My time in pretty limited & I just don't have the time to try to pull stuff out of this build & get it working in another. Besides working on this build for the G1/myTouch, I have also ported it to the Vogue/Kaiser so between the two builds, I'm pretty busy in my "free" time. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful there.

And to everyone who posted problems w/ V2.7...I'm aware of them. Sorry, just got off work & plan on posting updates soon. I'll update the first post & post an update once I'm done. Please continue to use V2.5.1.1 till then.
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Ok everyone, I'm sorry for the problems w/ V2.7. I'm currently uploading V2.7.1. Please RE-READE THE FIRST POST about changes to build. The build no longer uses the /system/userinit & /system/sd/user.conf by default. This seemed to be a bad idea. So, I've decided to make it SIMPLE. ;) If you want apps2sd automatically, then flash the kb7sqi-a2sd-mod.zip after you've flashed the ROM of your choice. Both versions stock/auto apps2sd scripts will run a userinit.sh script if you have it out on /system/sd. Other than that, it automatically enables compcache & set's the max/min CPU speed to 528/245 Mhz. The "Hero'ish" theme can be flashed over both the LITE/FULL builds. I made sure Google Sync works on all builds with & w/out the theme. I'm sorry about that. I do suggest doing a wipe when flashing the new builds, sorry but I moved some stuff around & it'd make life a whole lot easier for you. If you choose not to...Big Hint, HTC_IME.apk is now in /system/app instead of /data/app! So that way it survives a wipe in the future. I'll post an update once everying thing is uploaded. Take care.
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
All uploads have finished! Again, please RE-READ the first post. Thanks & take care.

[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Hi aqaish15, yes you will need a ext2/3 partition on your card for apps2sd to work properly. That's the only requirement besides just flashing the kb7sqi-a2sd-mod.zip. Don't download or install any other a2sd scripts or you'll break the build. I made the as2sd update w/ you in mind specifically. ;) Take care.

And I so sorry to Nuisance you in my question , but I see in many video in YouTube the internal memory will increase after make apps2sd , but I am not see that in your rom , and how I can make many screens to put many widget ,

Thanks a lot and have a nice one ;)

kb7sqi the magic rom works great. I have a questions about themes:

- where and how can i change the color of the clock text ( top right corner ) and date textb in the status bar ( black or white )

TNX
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Hi aqaish15,

I'm glad you like the update. If you re-read the 1st post, as I stated, the apps2sd script does push the apps to the sd, but data stays internal. I tend to agree w/ Soulife about that & prefer to keep it that way. So I'm using a modified version of his script.

I removed the Advanced Launcher from the builds. I really liked it at first, but then after time I started seeing more bugs, so for stability, I removed it from the core rom.
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Hi mat_pav,

Welcome to the magic build! So did you notice the difference in speed? ;) Since this builds comes odex'ed, to change the colors for the clock/data, the build would first have to be completly de-odex'ed and then the services.jar has to be modified. Once that is done, then you have what you're looking for. Sorry, but I just don't have the time/desire to do all that. That's why I chose to create a simple/clean theme that was based mostly on a hero theme. I'm no expert "themer" but I do think it turned out clean & nice looking. If you want to continue to have the black notification bar, give me a couple of days & I'll be updating the Rogers build since there was a second request for it. I can post an update on the "test" theme I was doing for that build. It'll have alot of what the theme for this builds has, but will keep the black notification bar & hero look. Sound fair? :) Take care.
[G1 Android Development] mat_pav:
The ROM runs super fast. But i found a problem with contact exchange sync. When you add a custom ring tone to contact they wont sync. This is the same problem that first rogers rom had but the updated versions fixed it. The Magic build runs the same mail.apk as the last rogers rom so i don't know why this problems. Ill will try to instal the mail.apk from the last rogers rom and let you know. Now abot themes. Do have any beta or other theme with white clock and data colors witch include the services.jar and services.odex?
