It comes with 5 screens by default. Are you sure you are running my rom?

Go to settings -> about phone and see that the kernel version says

"dwang@dwang-laptop"

If you are running my ROM, I would then try a wipe.

Are you sure you don't have another "home" application running, like Open Home, dxtop, ahome, etc?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Loccy:
Dwang, what's your thoughts about upgrading from 1.4 to 1.6? Wipe or not?

I've just upgraded without a wipe, and it's mostly fine, but I'm seeing an odd hang on boot, where it gets to the homescreen but then takes about two minutes before any widgets actually start to load (and I actually see the logcat just stop for that time). I'm not convinced it's not something to do with Toggle Settings or not, as I get a force close/wait on boot. However, if there's a technical reason why a wipe would be a better idea (did I see you say you'd changed frameworks?), then I'll wipe and go through the reconfiguration pain barrier.

(edit: screw it. I'll wipe. It'll only take me about half an hour to set up again).

(edit 2: It was Toggle Settings. Quick Settings works nicely)

(edit 3: 1.6 is beautifully fast and crisp after a few hours of use. Am running 64Mb of linux swap rather than Compcache but otherwise using MikeTaylor00's user.conf).

theme

what themes would work with this rom??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dwang:
Thanks for the feedback guys. Looks like v1.6 is pretty stable. Probably the only thing I might do for v1.7 is to make the boot image smaller.

I tried to update my wife's G1 last night and the boot.img is too big for the engineering spl boot partition. I'm not sure if I want to risk bricking my wife's phone and flash the danger spl and get put into the dog house. :eek:

@Loccy yeah I had to change to the ADP framework as I wanted to get rid of all the odex files from the ION framework.

@Gujuboyofny Not compatible with any themes I don't think. And no, I'm not going to make any themes. Thats not my thing.

@rey424 Don't install the seperate Launcher.apk from the v1.5 dropio directory. That's the original 3 screen launcher.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dwang:
Can you find out which version it was working in?

Thanks,

Dave
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dwang:
This voicesearch.apk should fix the problem...

http://drop.io/p1knm9f
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kchau:
that works, thanks and keep up the good work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dwang:
One thing I want to make sure is that this ROM doesn't slow down too much over time.

If some of you guys could try to keep your phone running for a few days/weeks without a reboot and report back your finding on the speed and performance, that would be great.

Thanks,

Dave
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kchau:
my phone was on since 1.5 came out with no reboot until today when i found it voice search wasnt working. i didnt notice a change in anything.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dwang:
that was a general statement, not specific to the voice search problem.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kchau:
what i meant was i had it on until today, which then i rebooted because i was trying to fix voicesearch.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] supa2001:
Voice Search could not be installed on this phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dwang:
you gotta use adb push

you can't install it like a regular apk..

anyways... I'll release a v1.7 with the fix soon..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] supa2001:
Ok. Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dwang:
v1.7 is out

v1.7 http://drop.io/9jw6wel

* Fix voice search crash
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jtc442:
awesome, working great!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jjcobm:
Thanks!

This has got to be the fastest ROM I have used so far here, even beating the speed of cyanogen's and alot of the other big name's here. I finally have no lag when typing on the touchscreen keyboard of the MyTouch, that was driving me crazy to the point I was going to return this piece...

Please keep this project going, I am sure everyone who has used this appreciates your work. Thank you for providing this to us!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
In case anyone is interested, I tried applying Moonspoon's gChrome theme (which can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4163562&postcount=7 )to Dwangs 1.5 rom and it works, with the exception of advanced launcher going back to 3 screens!

Screenshot 2 - power control widget: http://ukstokes.com/images/gchrome/2.png

Disclaimer: Do a nandroid first, in case you don't like it or it doesn't work for you. The first time you boot after the update, it will ask you if you want to use Home or Advanced Launcher. Choose Advanced Launcher, and tick the box to use it every time.

multi-language

Can somebody tell if this rom is multi-language, more specific has the dutch language?

Thanks !
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] StreetGuru:
It is multi language but no Dutch.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lucky58:
Pitty , its ok that the locale - UI - is english, but I need the prediction of the IME in dutch.

Thanks anyway.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dwang:
Thanks..

Stock 1.6 themes should work with my rom but you would lose the optimizations I made to the apps. That's the only thing to keep in mind.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dallerup:

If somebody wants to provide an IME or locale with dutch or other language support, I'll gladly include it in my next update.

Fastest ROM

Dwang, just wanna say thanks. this rom is freakin fast.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fabsn:
guys,

this rom seems to be pretty fast; as it has 107megs of ram it doesnt support games though, right?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] timafey:
Hey thanks so much, ive tried all sorts of roms and this is by far the fastest and most feature loaded one. Runs awesome, been up for 2 days solid installing apps, battery life is very good, and this rom does run games... atleast it runs RoboDefence like the rest of them. thanks for the hard work!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] supa2001:
What kind of games do you mean?

Mine runs robodefence, monopoly, Trap, Baseball Superstarts, Friction Mobile, Bonsai Blast, Cestos, Labyrinth...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ppwz33unit:
Mine crashed after MMS-ing myself twice (trying to see what the MMS picture res was). I then installed the MMS.apk from the latest cyanogenmod. So far, it seems ok on 3G. MMS sends at 512x384 now too. I'm on version dwang 1.5
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kchau:
hmm, let me try that.

edit: seems to be working fine now. thanks for the heads up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] d33dvb:
Great ROM

This rom deserves a sticky.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crubbish:
thank you

Dwang, just want to say thanks for sharing your work, very good rom!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tudor00:
My experience is that v1.3 remains the fastest of all the versions. I have a bit less available ram with 1.7 and I don't use IM. So I'll stick to 1.3, I am completely satisfied with it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kchau:
from time to time my browser stops responding to touch and i have to reboot the phone, this is on v1.6
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Loccy:
That's not the rom, that's my browser. Can't quite track that bug down, and it's weird that it persists across browser tasks. If you kill the browser task and reload, the issue still exists - it needs a full device reboot to resolve. I suspect that something I'm doing is revealing a bug in the underlying webkit framework but am not sure what. Anyway, the point of this post is, don't blame Dwang - come over to my browser thread and moan there! :D

keyboard issue

I have v1.7 ROM installed on my MyTouch 3g 32b

I am baffled a bit, how to turn off the default keyboard?

There are no toggle in settings->locale

So I've tried to install HTC keyboard and some other keyboards, but enabling them do not change anything, becase default keyboard always overrides them.

Help, plz.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kchau:
on my way ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] treoking:
@ Dwang:

Hi! I'm spanish so excuse me for my bad english.

I have your ROM installed on my HTC Magic 32B, but I don't like the 5 screens of the launcher, I think are a lot and I want to put only 3 screens...

There is any way to change the number of the screens in your ROM?

Thanks a lot!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jjcobm:
Try downloading this HTC version:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=567294

Then go to settings, local & text, and enable TOUCH INPUT. Next, go to a text input box and long press on the input box, select TOUCH INPUT. The HTC keyboard should show up. Running v1.7 of this ROM and working fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] miclflores:
Amazon mp3

Is Amazon Mp3 included in this build? Thanks for the work, super fast ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] supa2001:
nope. It's not included.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ariperelman:
First of all, thank you Dwang for your ROM, it's absolutely fast!

i'm having a problem with the text messages, when i recieve a txt msg, the phone doesn't recognize the contact.

All my contacts are within this format, 11 5778 0171 (argentina), but when i recieve a txtmsg, comes with a 0 before the number and i guess that is why is not recognizing it.

This wasn't an issue until now with Dwang's ROM.

Does anyone know how to solve it?

Thanks in advance!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wolfyy7:

blank screens

just wondering if anyone else was having this problem. i noticed when i woke up this morn to check my email, i touched to open it, and when it did, all screens went blank, everything was blank. i had to restart the phone, and everything reappears. this has happened 3 times today??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] supa2001:
Is it T-mobile's problem that when the other party's phone has no reception, the ringing tone becomes some weird sound instead of doo doo sound?

To jtc442, that happened to me once so far. Reboot fixed it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] StreetGuru:
I'm running the 1.7 since it came out and am sticking by it - very fast rom and very stable. I do however have two requests:

screen rotate - is this just me? but i do not have auto-rotate with this rom

Multi-touch in the picture albums - don't know how easy it would be to do this but it would be sick.

Hope to see it in the v1.8. Thanks for a great rom!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xploit:
WOW!!! just wow!! i bought mytouch 3G and rooted it right away I then was looking for a ROM just like this... this is a super fast clean rom Dwang thanks for sharing this with us man... Best rom hands down!!

Question is HTC keyboard working better than touchpal for you guys?? Touchpal is an awesome keyboard but damn is laggy as hell... one thing I like to point out... the Default keyboard is super fast in Dwang rom.

And to the poster above mine you have to turn ON the screen rotate under settings ...for some reason its off by default in version 1.7 :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eltigroUK:
Using the advanced launcher as per post 6408 with the file	LauncherHero2.1.zip

did a nandroid backup just in case but all went well. i can now define as many screens as i want, and also hide apps the the drawer!! well chuffd.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Loccy:
BetterKeyboard on the market is the one, true keyboard. Sure, it costs a couple of quid but it's well worth it. (The default theme for it is total gash though - try using the DarkGray BetterKeyboard theme also on the market). Even better if you use renicing scripts and add it into them, typing response becomes excellent.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] supa2001:
I think the voice dialer is broken. It doesn't pick up any sound at all. Anyone else's too?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] supa2001:
Happened twice today. I was playing some games, robo defense, sketchit online. Desktop went blank after quitting those games.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wolfyy7:
Another change I would like to see in 1.8 would be to adjust the volume so that it is louder and more clear. Great work, this is the most under-rated Rom on XDA

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wolfyy7:
Thank you kchau, I have a question, does swapper really shorten the life of your sd card? If so by how much? What are your settings for swapper? Has anyone used swapper (in combination with cpu overclock) to run hero rom(s) smoothly and to ensure more responsiveness? Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kchau:
no clue, but yes it does shorten the life of your sd card, sd cards are rated for a limited number of read/write cycles, so when you run that through, its game over. and if you consider what swapper does, you'll be burning through that number pretty fast.

on a side note:

after 3 days constantly on, and no background tasks running right now, i do notice that the phone is noticibly slower than a fresh reboot.

Running dwang 1.7 on 32B and like it a lot! Just come from Cyanogen 4.1.999...

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dwang:
that might be due to not having swap_free_notify in compcache. I'll put that back in for 1.8
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] suur13:
Running 1.7 - everythings fine, except 2 issues:

- SIM Toolkit. How can I have it ?

It was working on Android 1.5

- How to "activate" "su" command in ConnectBot ?

Superuser Permissions app does not do nothing. With previous ROM's it asked kindly "shall I give root accsess" when I typed "su" in ConnectBot...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dwang:
don't know what sim toolkit is..

the su should be there. Uninstall and reinstall or reboot..

everything worked fine, until someone pointed up camera is broken, so back to my recovery i go.

edit, just saw v1.9, DANG IT.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] benchmade707:
loving your 1.7, fast as all hell. could you rehost the 1.8 for the folks who dont use the stock camera program, or is it a hardware interface problem where the cam doesnt work at all?

forgive the noobie question, but does this have apps2sd built in? i've been seeing a lot of people lately saying apps2sd isnt needed anymore, but can't seem to get a straight answer on why, i'm assuming because most roms have it built in?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dwang:
it has a2sd for dream only. Why do you say you can't get a straight answer? Everything is spelled out explicitly in the first post.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] benchmade707:
i mean as to why apps2sd isnt needed anymore. at the same time, i see loads of people still running it.

i can't imagine running much faster than your rom does, i dont get any lag. i imagine if it would have made it any faster, you'd have included it... if its not too much trouble, could you explain why its not needed?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dwang:
Its because on the htc magic/mt3g, you have 300 megs of storage space available. So there is plenty of storage. Thus, no need for a2sd.

On the g1/dream, you have significantly less storage, so thats why a2sd is needed.

Anybody try cyanogen 4.1.9999? How is the speed of bfs 304?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Lumsdoni:
Nice fast ROM and has convinced me to stop trying to load HERO ROms as they are very slow compared to the non-hero ones.

However, I kept getting force closes as soon as I tried to access the calendar app on this ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jjcobm:
Running v1.7 and noticed I am having syncing issues with sometimes texts and exchange server and other emails. Updating to v1.9 and will report back.

By the way, for people wondering the latest cyanogen is very laggy on my phone compared to his previous releases, this ROM blows everything away....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dwang:
any syncing and forced close issues can be solved with a wipe.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wolfyy7:
I went back to eugens ROM, I love the Sprint apps but the system is so damn slow it sucks worse than a girl I knew awhile back who sucked me and got her teeth in the way... point being, if you added the sprint apps, HSDPA, an integrated the volume hack or at least an optional FULL ROM you would have the best ROM. I gave Eugene my input but he is a bit stubborn as he has yet to remove the damn BFS which is the source of slowing the system down... so for now I'm flashing your 1.9 right now, Thank you Dwang!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ricardooo:
I've installed 1.9 and really like it, although I can't get the screen and keyboard rotation to work...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jjcobm:
Update:

Just installed v1.9 from v1.7, everything works good and fast seems even faster than v1.7. I did a wipe of sd card and factory wipe, issues with syncing are gone now. Thanks again for this ROM.

As a suggestion: it would be nice if you can add a restart option on the power button menu instead of just the shutdown option on a future version...

For the person above, in order to get the screen rotation to work, you need to enable it. It is disabled in this ROM by default. On the home screen hit Menu>Settings>Sound & Display>Orientation. Hit the check box and it will work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Lakers3408:
Nevermind.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ricardooo:
Thanks a lot ! and sorry for my stupidity :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wolfyy7:
Dwang, I spoke with Eugene and as I mentioned earlier you have the fastest ROM hands down for the sapphire... What your ROM lacks is the bells and whistles of Eugene's ROM which has the applications (and interface etc.) which myself, fans of Full ROMs and users of Eugene's ROM desire. I can see that you are not interested in devoting time and effort to create a full and lite version as I made a request for a full ROM earlier to which you did not respond and I can take a hint... Eugene is willing to integrate your ROM into his and test... so I am requesting you provide the kernel and Wlan.ko files from your ROM so that fans of your ROM and Eugene's ROM can have the best of both worlds and I am certain Eugene will give credit for all of your work so I am asking that you to provide these files.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dwang:
Sure, I don't have any problems with Eugene taking my kernel and adding stuff on top.

I simply do not have the time to do all these things so if somebody can take that up, I'm perfectly fine with that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Lakers3408:
Nevermind...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
I think thats probably the reason it's the fastest 32b rom out there, because it's built for speed not for bells and whistles!

I've been rom surfing for a week and have tried pretty much every 32b rom on here, and I've ended up back with Dwangs as it seems to offer the best speed and performance (and reliability). Amon_RA's rom is similar but without compcache I get home screen reloads after a few hours ... I think it's probably better for 32a users who don't need extra functionality to improve their memory usage. Dwangs rom just rocks, without userinit.conf, without extra partitions or any extra fiddly configuration. It's perfect for 32b!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kchau:
working good so far. no lag with time like the previous versions.
