will restoring this nandroid backup change SPL or recovery...

Thanks for the Nandroid backup and Sorry for the noob question and also if this needed to have been posted in another forum...

If I restore this backup, will it also change the SPL and recovery. TIA for the information. If so, how can I avoid that from happening.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sverma:
For me, PC sync not working with latest upload.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paindoo:
Looking at the zip file, it contains recovery.img, boot img, cache.img , data.img, system.img but no hboot.img, so conclusion it will change everything except spl. Anyone can also confirm that
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fabsn:
Do you use a 32A or 32B device?

Cause mine is 32B and I tried the rom using CC only (no swap at all) and also with up to 128mb swap - i always wiped an formatted the SD and still the ROM is unbelievably SLOW

how come yours is fast?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] datguy1980:
I tried that nandroid backup and there was an error. It said something about it no signed so i just went back to eugenes hero rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fabsn:
Why dont u post your hardware specs?

--

Ok, I just disabled CC and am using a big swap partition now. Rom seems to be pretty fast now!

--

the apn list is incomplete

--

where can i find tutorials about editing roms? i basically just want to deactivate cc so i just need to edit 1 text file...can i just un- and rezip it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hughyb:
i cannot and not for the lack of trying get it to work with a swap partition (furthest i get is the htc screen before it reboots), on any of the roms. Only seem to work with just fat32 partition. The latest one works but is very laggy. Waiting for a rooted version
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sitimber:
applied market fix but still not download or install purchased apps all others download and install fine
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sardoid:
Only english locale:(any chance for more?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fabsn:
it says english only in the menu and it indeed is english the first time u start it but when you reboot is uses the desired language

at least it works for me. it's completly german localized although there's no german option in the menu. i have no idea how the phone know that i want german language oO

having tried it for some hours now (latest version, no cc, 128mb swap, no market fix) i have to say that the rom is not stable. it sometimes doesnt wake up from sleep or freezes for a couple of seconds. there is still a lot of work needed.

besides that it's fast though...this rom might become really good
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hughyb:
have successfully disabled cc but no change in speed. still laggy. going to have to go back to stock rom for a while til things progress but I will be back
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eugene373:
You have to run the renicer app. this does work for me on the No wake on screen. I should have listed that. as for Paid Apps, there working fine for me,

Though I'm in the US on T-Moible. So far everything for ME is working fine other than Root. Still working on this issue
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fabsn:
Do you have a swap partition which is bigger than 65mb (thats about how much is used of mine most of the time) and a fast SD?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hughyb:
i do, its about 128mb and a class 2 sd card but its my old one for testing.

I do have a class 6 one, however I installed both the previous roms and didnt have this lag, i was very impressed with the speed. Only prob i found was rosie restarting
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fabsn:
Ok let's hope that eugene fixes the issues we have with the latest version. if you have a look at the first pages, people (just like u) said that the first versions were rly fast and the new one is EXTREMELY slow with cc and still not fast with swap w/o cc.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eugene373:
I got it so far, No root still.

You will need 128mb to 192mb Swap with this new Rom. So everyone will have to setup there new partition accordingly.

Will have it posted soon, still trying to get root enabled.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fabsn:
Thanks a lot man, thats amazing.

Have you considered using the 107mb ram hack? might make the rom even faster.

AND: can u make the bootscreen silent?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] datguy1980:
--

Rogers Magic 32a. Do I rename the nandriod.zip and make it just a nandroid folder and install?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eugene373:
I'm not going to use the Ram hack, as I've not found any of them to be stable.

Ram hack = No wake screen for Most, then the thread gets Pounded by ( Screen Don't wake / It freezes ) posts, which are Known problems if people took the time to look/search.

Boot sound I like, so will likely leave it for now. Currently optimizing the apk's & and adding language support atm.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eugene373:
PM the person that Posted it, I did not Post this, please Keep the thread clean of Misc. post please.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tq745:
starting to become very laggy...also starting to freeze and reboot occasionally.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] opcode1300:
ARRRg!!

for the life of me I cant get this to boot.

I restored using SAPPIMG_Sapphire_TMUS_1.88.531.1_COC10_release_signed.nbh

did the 1click root using FlashRec.apk

SPL to Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2010-signed

wipe and flash using recovery-RA-magic-v1.2.3G

does the same loop as before..

Am i doing it wrong?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hughyb:
What worked for me was to (in windows) format the fat32 partition not using quick format but full. took a while but this worked.

or

Also works (in ubuntu) using gparted, recreate all the required partitions, bare in mind that eugene is cooking a new one which will need between 128mb - 192mb of swap.

Im no expert but it worked for me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tq745:
do you have your partitions setup? also try using 1.33.2009. you shouldn't have a prob with 2010, but eugene uses 2009 when setting up this rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eugene373:
Uploading the New Rom now.

It's very slow at the first init. setup, google sync will make the phone very slow until it has fully finished sync with google, the more contact to sync with, the longer it will take.

If you get any FC just wait, or close them, I get a few, but after Rom has fully setting up, it's very fast and stable.

I'll Post shortly the link, & Swap at 96MB to 128MB is a MUST!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Xenn0X:
rooted or not yet?:)

already have a 128 mb swap partition ready to use for your next creation.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dsarch21:
will this new rom work with 32a like others?

install, then install 32a updater then reboot?

thanks...I'm still using blueberry and love it, but can't' wait for new more 'official' sense ui

Eugene...

Bro; **** is looking good.

This is rock solid. :D

Keep this up and I'm certainly going to find a way for my job position to pay it forward to you. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] atmmn:
eugene373 is it possible to get this to work on a MT3G as just a straight update like the official HTC Sense Update without the SD Card Swap etc.?:cool:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eugene373:
No, where missing to much ram for that.

Here's a Light version minus the BS, mainly google apps only.

Simple & Fast

Magic_MT3G_Light.zip
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] deliciousj:
If I use ra's recovery to partition the sd card with fat32+ext2+linux swap, is the 128mb swapfile already created when I flash the rom and boot? Cause I don't know how to specify a specific size swap. I can use Swapper to set it at 128mb/60 swappiness BUT for some reason or another it never creates it either on the swap partition OR the default swap location. It is always at 32mb. Anyone know how I can use user.conf to do that?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] XperiHans:
Eugene you're saying that the light-version is missing BS... what do you mean with that? What's not in that rom and what's the effect of that?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] atmmn:
Thanks eugene373, I understand. I'm running official ROM Donut 1.6 no Root. How Would I install this and does everthing work. Whats included and whats taken out? Sorry kinda new to this, flashed a Rom before 1.6 update :o
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] andy_tng:
trying the latest version. Thanks a lot and keep on the good work man
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] motaman76:
I don't have an issue flashing the latest roms but they are progressively getting slower for me. Is anyone else having this issue?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
Thank you for the Light version, I always liked a clean and better than vanilla ROM! I've just finished flashing it, let's see how it behaves! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] andy_tng:
the light version is pretty slow when google sync, anyone has the same issue ? does this due to the swap memory?

I check the swap :

total 30760, used 30560 and free only 200

do I have to change the swap memory ? and how to ?

Thanks a lot
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WebghostDK:
I cannot boot up these new ROM's, noone of em...

Any idea?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Xenn0X:
Flashed latest full version with 128 mb swap.

will test and let you know.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WebghostDK:
Could you tell me which SPL you are using?

I am using the HBOOT-1.33.2010

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.19.16I
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Xenn0X:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0004 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

Class 6 SDHC card with 128 MB swap Partition and the rest is FAT32
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WebghostDK:
Could you provide me with a download link for HBOOT-1.33.0004 ?

Maybe this could be why i cannot successfully boot up any of the new ROM's
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Xenn0X:
This rom is pretty fast but when i call myself it takes like 8 secs before the phone led reacts and another 5 to get a ringtone.

seems to be with al type of hero/sense roms. that there is a big delay in call that are recieved.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] _Ascetic:
I need help disabling compcache, I get this when i type the remount command.

remount failed: Invalid argument

Thanks in advance. (I'm still looking for that wallpaper eugene.)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WebghostDK:
God dammit i cannot boot up any of the new Sense UI's... :@

Tried with new and old SPL's, doesnt matter.

I see people having success with 1.33.0004 anywhere to get that?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ElChouch:
Try this :

adb shell mount -a
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nolimit966:
I have this issue too, also takes a good few seconds to actually be able to answer the phone afterwards. I dont think this particular Vodafone 32b edition has enough Ram for the Sence UI to ever run perfect.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] asperon:
Wow, its blazing fast! Just one small question, where did the none gmail app go? Cant seem to find it anywhere.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tq745:
is anyone else having trouble booting up the mt3g4? i can't seem to get past the boot screen...it keeps looping over and over. i know it's not me because i can easily reflash the older version fine...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lorenzo.themax92:
can't acces to fastboot mode unfortunately :(

i flash when post the site htc and i don't see that can't flash on magic 32a tim (i am italian) , and now i have the phone on RUU USB and can't flash recovery image.. is necessary to downgrade the hboot , but i can't beacuse for the moment there isn't a method.. i can do a donation if some do the downgrade .. i have very urgency!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Xenn0X:
2 bad, won't touch roms with swap. i'll stay on 1.6 for now:) good luck on progress.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paindoo:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ronni.rasmussen:
Sure is sad, but **** happens when you can't wait and dont really know what you're doing :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eugene373:
you can always use CC

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eugene373:
Okay, I left out a script for Root, I'll Have the Fixed Version upload asap.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nubcake:
Any feedback from 32a users?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paindoo:
not flashed as yet, waiting for a updated file to fix root and wifi from eugene
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lmart1n:
tried different spl like 2004 and 2009 ... doenst work either
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eugene373:
Wifi should be fine on the 32a update, but yeah. Hold off till I get the Root Fixed..... Uploading atm
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paindoo:
Thanks man!. what about the BT, i guess no luck so far even with official release. Maybe it need new hboot1.76 etc that comes with official RUU
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Xenn0X:
ok, forgot that part:) i'll wait till there is a nice and clean version with cc.

just want to keep my sdcard non partitioned.

great work, keep it up:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Menace-es:
fc on htc settings and impossible to do the setup can't configure the phone .

32B
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eugene373:
CC is working I think, Should Be. Just format to Fat32 to find out. I've not test a2sd yet either
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eugene373:
Works Perfect on my Phone. Wish I could help but I've Flash it 3 time trying to get a FC, none so far.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eugene373:
idk, didn't somebody already brick there phone doing this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Boonyard:
Do you just download the file called hero3g_new.zip, rename it to update.zip and then flash it as normal?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] scepterr:
Same here. doesnt get to setup
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lorenzo.themax92:
i brik the phone , updating the rom form htc website..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WebghostDK:
Finally lol, i couldn't belive i were the only one with these problems... ive been having these problems too!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hughyb:
this update from HTC Thai, will this be the same as what is released in Europe in Nov? what I am trying to say is it for a Magic with different architecture to the ones that are released in europe? which is why it doesnt just work straight off?

i know 32b's are diff but 32a's have the ram needed for this to work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tq745:
i'm going to try the light version...if it works then it's definitely the rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WebghostDK:
Ok, i will try and flash the 1.33.2009 SPL in the mean time.

Report back if the Light version works
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] asperon:
How have you partitioned your SD card? i tried it with only FAT and SWAP (as 1 and 2) and had the same problem. Then i did the ext2 and 2 and removed it (leaving fat as 1 and swap as 3) and then it worked.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Xenn0X:
what has been gutted in the light version?

i just want the sense widgets and exchange support
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WebghostDK:
Im having these partitions:

Number Start End Size Type File system Flags

1 512B 15.8GB 15.8GB primary fat32 lba

3 15.8GB 15.9GB 98.7MB primary linux-swap(v1)

Still aint working, none of the new Sense UI's are working... i dont get it.

Just flashed to 1.33.2009 SPL, will give this a shot
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tq745:
my partition is in my sig. i still don't understand why i'm having trouble. this is the first for me with eugene's rom, or any rom for that matter. fyi, my linux swap is on the 3rd partition.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tq745:
light version is the same for me. still boot looping. :mad:

at least i know that i'm not the only one with the problem. hopefully eugene will be able to solve this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WebghostDK:
I had these problems with Maxisma's rom too, i talked to him on ICQ yesterday and both he and myself couldn't belive this.

Logcat didnt report any errors, it mounted (atleast it looked like it) other than that i should really be working.... :S
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thedarkangel:
32B

I was testing the last version for about 4 hours and found that all functionality seems to work correctly (not tried bluet yet) but I experienced a very impressive slow down in the apps... let me explain better :

i have an sd partitioned 1-fat32 & 3-swap128mb, and the system boots up very fast, sense react almost fast, I can change settings, wallpaper add/remove widg, pan around screens without slow downs, but when I try to open an application, even the stupid calulator, it is sluggish, unusable, there are some delays that sometimes last 30 secs... I thought it could be that my 4gb-sdhc is too slow (class 2) but when i tried the first version of eugene I didn't have this type of issue, and everything was working fast, even if there were connectivity troubles.

anyone was able to run this version without issues?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bpo157:
Just installed the magic_MT3G4. zip.the latest rom. I have a 32b with a 4 gig.I was running jacheroski V2.1. I wiped data /factory reset the sd card and part sd:only fat 32, when that was done I pulled out the sd card and loaded the update zip on the card from my computer. Then I did a wipe and installed update.zip. It didn't take that long to install, total time about 15 minutes. It seems to be quick and stable so far. The only issue is with the leds and trackball does not light up. So far so good. Good Job with this one.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] _Ascetic:
xxxxx-macbook-pro:tools xxxx$ ./adb shell mount -a

mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /system/sd failed: No such file or directory

Now what?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hughyb:
Have installed the latest update with a 128mb swap partition.

Been using it for a few hours but after the initial setup config and reboot I didnt really experience any improvement in speed and seems laggy as the previous.

In my experience of these roms the fastest have been the ones with no swap partition needed. since then they have slowed right down.

I am enjoying testing these roms as they are finally ones that are meant for this phone and got excited by the first few as they were very fast.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eugene373:
I'm Sorry about the slow down, Please bear with me on this, I'll be releasing another shortly addressing the speed issue.

Thanks,

-Eugene
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hughyb:
Hi Eugene

No worries, thats what we are here for to test.

FYI I have just deleted my swap partiton and installed your latest rom and it is rapid without swap, but only been going 10 mins but no lag.

will report back

Edit: starting to slow down now with numerous rosie restarts after using programs. And menus not as smooth
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eugene373:
new rom is being uploaded that fix's all these issue.

You can try A2SD as I left in there for people wanting to try it, but for now this is only a Fat32+swap Rom.

Upload will be done shortly. I will not be making another update till I get root working, as far now, this rom is perfect now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kwhalen:
So this ROM won't run properly with fat32/ext3/linux-swap?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eugene373:
You can try A2SD as I left in there for people wanting to try it, but for now this is only a Fat32+swap Rom.

Seems that only 50/50 is having success and the other 50% is having trouble due to a2sd
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hughyb:
which is best 96mb partition or 128mb ? i am presuming because 128mb is bigger it will give more room for a swap file? never have understood the different sizes.

what was slowing the roms before? (I am a noob but I am interested and i will try and understand)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fabsn:
Thats what the user.conf says, so the linux-swap partition has to be partition no. 3! thats what some people are having problem with

so guys 1. possibility make 3 partitions (fat32, tiny useless partition no.2, linux-swap) or just edit the user.conf

if your sd is big enough just use a 128mb swap. the number symbolizes how many megabytes are assigned to the swap-file and could possibly be used by the phone to temporarily save data. the more, the better.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eugene373:
how hard is it to just remove ( RM 2 ) in gparted?

Also, if you edit the user.conf file, you will need to resign it. If not, the rom will not install. Just FYI so people don't start say, Rom fails at Flashing lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eugene373:
New Rom Posted! Post #2 at the top.

Enjoy,

-Eugene
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hughyb:
Well this is definately a difference. Much more speedy than last. No rosie crashes so far.

Have setup a few widgets and still going well. WIll test it for a few hours and get back to you.

Great work though, most appreciated

Edit, did a reboot and got the following SORRY: the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexectedly. PLease try again FORCE CLOSE
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kwhalen:
Are you using fat32/linux-swap or fat32/EXT3/linux-swap?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eugene373:
yeah, that's nothing to really worry about, I got it once on a reboot, but FC it and everything still worked fine.

Hoping this next test will give me root, if so I'll have another update.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hughyb:
I changed my setup to fat32/ (created then deleted and tiny ext3)/ linux swap (128mb) and install no problems
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hughyb:
Excellent, look forward to giving it a go.

found one bug, cant download from marketplace, just sits there attempting to download but doesnt do anything. is this because a2sd is enabled?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eugene373:
Mine works fine. Just reboot the phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eugene373:
WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, Making another update, I got ROOT WORKING!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fabsn:
Thanks a lot man. Great work!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hughyb:
awesome! looking forward to it
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TheMorpheus:
Way to go man!

So, what doesn't working left?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eugene373:
BT atm, The sound is garbage but it does connect and you get sound here & there.

Other than that, everything is working now.
