This is the 2nd time that my SD card got wiped after upgrade.

4.2.8.1 -> 4.2.9.1

Flashed ok, launch Music, CPU 100% running, then given an option to Wait or Force Close

Plug USB in, then Mount and then Dismount. Going back to Music, launched successfully, but no music.

Plug USB in and then Mount again, found that all files were gone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Zuli:
Solved. It was the kernel port in post #289, i also had random reboots.

Using bcrook port everything is back to normal :)

thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Dear bcrook,

thanks for your kernels for our 32As. Your punctual contribution is fundamental for us.

I've noted that in your lasts updates you include the hacked version of Google Maps. I'm wondering why!

Few points against this inclusion:

- even if it is hacked, it is still a Google software that you are not supposed to distribute; you could receive a letter from BigG as Cyanogen got;

- to install the maps.apk in /system/app it's not the best way to keep it updated; it is better to remove any presence of maps from /system/ and install it in /data/app/.

- IMHO, it is not related with the goal of your packages: the best porting for the 32A phones.

Any way, I'm going to remove the maps apk from the zip that I'm using in my phone, so I will survive. Just my 2¢.

Thanks!

I've tested the last bc kernel 4.2.9.1 with the tweak on build.sapphire.prop: testing the network performances with the SpeedTest.Net native application I get worst values. Without the tweak I got among 437-330kbps in download and 173-148kbps in upload. With the tweak I got 190-147kbps / 120kbps.

I'm using a HTC Magic 32A on the 3G network of H3G. Bcrook, did you got improvements in your case? I'll do more tests later.

BFS kernel for 4.2.9.1

Just thought I'd post here that I managed to build a bfs kernel for 4.2.9.1 for EBI1/32A phones. I've tested it and it appears to be running well but YMMV.

I also got a nice tip from Cyanogen to confirm whether or not you are running with the BFS scheduler. Either from terminal type dmesg | grep -i bfs or from your PC type adb shell dmesg | grep -i bfs, you should get a response if bfs is running.

And without further ado, here's the link: http://bit.ly/7XJ1mZ
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
Thanks charrion. The reason my bfs kernel wasn't working was because the ramdisk wasn't being unpacked right. I no longer detest bfs quite as much.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Macmee:
It downloaded both files but only applied cyan, not the new kernel. No biggy, just had to boot into recov and apply it and all worked:p

You guys, when you have a bug check the bugtracker.

This was the second bug on the list.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Preeat:
So let me get this straight....if I use this ROM I get an app with it called CM updater and with that app I can just automatically update the ROM every time without losing any of my settings from the previous version of the ROM?

If that's true, that's so damn cool. Definitely gonna apply this ROM when I get some free time on my hands.

Are there any core features like GPS, WiFi or bluetooth that don't work with this ROM? In other words, does everything that works now with the stock ROM on an HTC Magic also work with this ROM?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sultan-mrm:
Thanks bro :)

Never tried this rom. Is this with HTC Sense UI?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] decepticon:
I have an odd request.

Can someone take the framework-res.apk and change it back to the original startup animation?

I tried using the one from the base rom but it causes issues with my battery status displaying a ? on the battery.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
Check out metamorph, its on the market. This thread has stock bootscreens that you can flash without redoing the entire framework-res.apk file.

Google Maps

Since 2 days I changed also to this MOD. The best so far.

It seems that there's a google maps upgrade in the market. But it can't be installed. There's a message (german) " Die Paketdatei war nicht richtig signiert." (package is wrong signed).

Maybe a google reaction against the cyanogenmod?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drunknmunky:
Hi bcrook, great work on the port. I switched from a Hero ROM and didn't realize how fast Android could be.

I'm on Rogers and had some trouble after installing the ROM. It turned out to be the APN settings but it look me a while to determine this. Unfortunately I didn't see your post until after I'd fixed it.

I think it'd be useful if you put something on the main page of the thread suggesting that anyone without data should check their APN settings and input whichever one is necessary.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
Will do. Thanks for the suggestion.

need help

I'm guessing the new installs directions are for people who have never installed a rom on there htc dream before right? I am just about to get mine rooted once I do I can follow the new install instructions and install that build on my phone right? Do I need a class 6 mem card aswell? Thank you very much I'm new to this and have been forced to root by rogers not giving us any android updates.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
Thats correct. A class 6sd card is a good idea if you plan to use swap and apps2sd - which as a dreqm user you should. That being said, it is by no means required.

Ps. Your name is amazing. Welcome to XDA
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] androidandrogersdontmix:
thanks

Thanks for the help and yes I def am going to use apps to sd its needed and I guess that's just an app u can download from the market and will only work on rooted phone right? I was waiting for someone to say somthing about my name haha its just the truth. Now I have to go pay some guy at pacific mall $50 and I'm going to give him the link to this thread so he doesn't mess it up. All because rogers will not support all of there android customers.........I have now joined the revolution....of pissed off android users.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
Apps2sd is built into cyanogenmod. You just have to format the sdcard properly which can be done with a few clicks.

Also, you dont have to pay someone sketchy at the Pacific Mall to root the device. There a ton of good guides and I would give it a try. Its not $50 worth of work.

Follow this and you will be set.: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1_to_CyanogenMod
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] androidandrogersdontmix:
To tell you the truth I am basically phone dumb lol. I read some of the tutorials on rooting and installing roms and it seems like its so far over my head. I know I'm prob being ripped off a bit but I'm sure I can offer him 40 and he will take it and everyone else at pacific mall that said they could do it told me 80 or 100. I'm just pretty scared of bricking my phone and it being useless. I don't mind spending 40 or 50 if it means my phone for sure working and atleast I will have a person and a store to blame if anything goes wrong.

Ok so ill give it a try you have convinced me lol. I just need to get a class 6 mem card first and I will do that this weekend. My phone is not rooted yet guy at pacific was going to do that aswell. Will that one click root method I've heard so much about work or will I need to follow a rooting tutorial aswell. By wiki do u mean the instructions that were on this forum? I will add you to gtalk what is your email or is it that google wave one that is in your post. Again, thanks a lot for the help.

Hey androidandrogersdontmix,

This guide worked like a dream for me a few months back when I was a total newbie.

I rooted my phone as instructed on the link below, installed Blackgins backup and system app backup applications (check out blackgins.wordpress.com and android market), and backed up all of my apps and settings (select all when doing the backups) to my SD card.

http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how-to-root-the-htc-magic-in-one-click/

I then read up on the following links

And one similar to this

But it may be easier for you to just follow the instructions on the first page of this thread :)

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] androidandrogersdontmix:
Ya we got it all worked out thanks to bcrook. I'm running a cyanagen rom now 4.2.9 I think it was. Works very well seems much faster than my stock rogers rom, no lag its great. I just need to figure out how you work themes and stuff I see on your bcrook it says u have an enoch theme what's that all about.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] march83:
the themes are dead easy. enoch for example...

1) confirm your CM version (menu, settings, about phone)

2) turn on apps from unknown sources and install CM updater

3) go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=548918

4) in CM updater go to menu, config, theme udpate settings, manage servers, menu, add server, scan barcode and scan the barcode from point 3. give it a name (like "enoch" and you've just added enoch's server to your checklist

5) still in cm hit check now, it will find enochs theme, pick the one that matches your CM ver (as checked in point 1), download, apply now, reboot once it's flashed and wait. phone will re-boot and apply the new theme. THIS WILL TAKE A WHILE, chillax, mine took way longer to do enoch than to do the last few CM updates.

after all this it will reboot and look hot. If you don't like the new font you can repeat the above steps but instead of selecting the enoch theme choose the font reversion file.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Preeat:
So I installed this ROM but I can't seem to find CM updater...is it supposed to come with the ROM as a default app or do I download it from somewhere? The instructions on Page 1 of this thread make it sound like it's already on the ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Charrion:
It's available on the Market. Search for cyanogenmod.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] androidandrogersdontmix:
thanks

Thanks for the info march83. I'm going to try it out some time tonight. Just to clarify when you say wait for it to flash I guess you mean wait for it to install its being flashed in the cm updater when I click apply. If I am getting this then it is all done basically in cm updater. So I just find the right one install it and reboot and it will work. Is there any chance of me messing this up enough to ruin my phone haha.

btw..@bcrook

how do you setup your partition?

i was using linux_swap and fat32 which is ext is removed by typing rm 2 in adb shell (tutorial on eugene thread, and with that kind of setup everything just fine, only those lost signal problem)..

and now using amonra recovery i repartition my sdcard, linux_swap 128 mb, ext 256 mb and the rest is fat 32, this setup seems fine (i believe app2sd is working), market download and install just works fine, but if i use ext = 512 mb i run into a lot problem when installing app from market (install failure)..also if i use ext = 0 then my magic always stuck on preparing sdcard checking for error after transfering file..

another question..

if we used this 3 partition and then doing a complete wipe, does nandroid backup will backup all app we have installed (app in ext partition)?

People with bugs - update to my newest port file. It contains an updated boot.img from cyanogen that fixes the major issues. Another issues will likely be fixed by doing a clean install (ie, wipe, format ext, format dalvik-cache, etc).

This update is very good, that being said, it probably should've been an experimental one....
