I have Cyanogen 4.2.8. And it's themed with darkstar but the damn thing keeps force closing on Activity Home. So I switched back to Magic GyD.

Actually in the past Cyanogen is the only 1.6 rom that FC'd on me like this.

After installing 4.2.8.1 (had 4.2.8), I was unable to make or receive phone calls. It wasn't operator related, I'm pretty sure of that.

Then I restored my previous nandroid backup ( rollback to 4.2.8) and phone calls started working again.

Anyone had this issue?

I'll apply the 4.2.8.1 update once again and keep you posted it there are any news.

<EDIT> I have no idea of what went wrong in the previous update, but now all is working again. This seems the fastest CM rom to date! GJ! </EDIT>

noob-ish questions

few noob-ish questions.

i have a rogers branded htc magic (32A) and threw on the MyHero SenseUI ROM to try it out. seemed easiest to install, and its working great so far. but i've heard a lot of good thigns about cyanogen as well, and wanted to give this a spin as well.

so my questions are as follows:

1. it doesn't matter that i moved from my stock ROM to the senseui ROM right? if done correctly, anyone should be able to move between ROMs easily correct?

2. the disclaimer on the first post says: " require that you have a recovery with the option to flash any .zip file" this refers to the recovery mode that i get when i press Home + Power on boot up right?

3. i remember for the myhero sensui ROM, it had only one file that i had to 'apply'. this cyanogenmod has 3 files, HTC ADP 1.6, CyanogenMOD, and Kernel Port. can someone explain what each of these are and what they do?

4. in summary, this rom gives me 1.6. do i also get the ability to use market for paid apps (currently canada = fee apps only) and possibly try google maps navigation?

5. when do things like SPL, radio firmware, etc. come into play? do i need to worry about that with this ROM?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
Sorry to shrug off your questions but the Cyanogenmod community has done some very good work on the Cyanogenmod Wiki. I suggest that you read that first. Pay special attention to the 'Upgrading from a CyanogenMod version less than 4.1.99 or other rooted ROMs' section.

The recovery is what you boot into when you hold Home when the phone starts up. You flash ROMs from here. Make sure you have a newer version of Amon_RAs recovery, you need to able to flash 3 ROMs consecutively so they cannot all be named update.zip.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mbk.2k3:
thanks.

i agree, i have gone over the wiki's a few times, but for some of the other ROMs i've noticed that random issues arise and people often report back here on these forums. regardless, few questions still remain and i would like a yes or no simply for peace of mind before i proceed. b/c thats what the forums are ultimately for right?:

1. i don't have my stock 1.5 firmware on my magic. can i go from this myhero senseui rom, wipe and get

2. when applying the multiple updates, from update 1, to 2, to 3, can that be done using the trackball in recovery mode? b/c some instructions state "Press Alt-A".

3. noobest question of all. this is 1.6 right? the only mention i found is in the filename "HTC ADP 1.6". the reason why i question it is b/c of the screenshots posted on cyanogen's site.

I need help guys. I have a problem after loading 4.2.8 on my Rogers Magic (32A). On the welcome screen where it asks you to touch the android to begin, the touch screen doesn't work. I can't pass the welcome page. Buttons work, I can bring up menu and shutdown by holding down end button. Before I loaded 4.2.8, I had MyHero 2.0.4. And I've tried loading a different ROM, like RAv1.6.2H, everything works fine. Really not sure why I have this problem, I did wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik-cache, wipe SD:ext, and load all 3 zip files before reboot using RA-v1.5.2H recovery. My SPL is 1.33.2009 ENG and Radio 3.22.20.17. Any help is appreciated.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
The section is the wiki that describes upgrading from another rooted ROM is what you want. Basically all you need to do is boot into an updated recovery (I suggest Amon_RAs 1.5.2-H) and do the following (all of which you can do with the trackball)[Make sure you have the stock image, cm-update and the port file download to your sdcard (in the root)]:

1. Nandroid backup (so you can revert to MyHero is the **** hits the fan)

2. Wipe

3. Flash the stock image

4. Flash cm-update-4.2.x.-signed.zip

5. Flash the port file bc-4.2.x-signed.zip

6. Reboot

Cyanogenmod is based off of 1.6 (donut).

Hello guys,

I am a noob regarding roms, and i would really use some help.

With some help from a friend i tryed to install this.

I did the backup, wiped the data and cache and after that i installed the 3 files from the first post.

I had a lot of trouble and i tryed to reinstall. This time my friend sayd i have to wipe sd ex. I tryed but it gave me an error regarding the adb or sth.

Can somebody please explaon me how to make partitions and why?

I will write Santa to bring him a present too. :))))

I have a Magic 32A from Vodafone.

Some links will help.

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
You dont need to partition (I suggest you dont) on a 32a Magic. There is a lot of app space on the phone so you dont need the apps2sd. We also have more RAM than dreams so we dont need the swap.

If you want to be sure your sd is all good, you can format it into a single partition with Windows/OSX/Unix.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mbk.2k3:
interesting

i followed the steps, made the back up as well. booted past the rogers screen. past the android logo screen. now stuck on a black screen for 3+ mins.

reboot?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mbk.2k3:
and now its stuck on the rogers logo screen.........

great. fml.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mbk.2k3:
okay so here is an update:

i was able to re-install everything and finally got it to work. i was online, phone was working, it was dandy.

i figured might as well reboot it (after i had configured everything) because the gmail app would start and then close randomly without it ever getting to my inbox.

so when i hit power off, it froze. i pulled the battery and tried it again, it would freeze at the rogers (carrier logo).

so i wiped and flashed again, both the ROM and kernel, and once again, on the first boot, it worked beautifully. i wanted to reboot it to test if i could reproduce the previous scenario.

sure enough, on the second boot, after a power down, it freezes at the rogers (carrier logo) screen.

i used the following in order:

HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip

update-cm-4.2.8.1-signed.zip

bc-4.2.8-ebi1-signed.zip

so now i'm staring at my carrier logo, wondering if i should try to re-flash it again or not.

Thank you.

That's what i did. Format fat32 the card with windows, installed the 3 files.

But i had a lot of problems with pop3 email adresses. I mark mail as read and the box showed me unread mail.

Besides that, no hsdpa, problems with vibrations, etc.

My friend that uses this rom also, says he doesn't has problems.

Now i use hero rom, but my memory is full.

Can you recommend a simple and very stable rom?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
This one.

So why dont u think you have HSDPA? This ROM doesnt use the H logo from HTC builds. I assure you that 3g icon=HSDPA
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Zazie:

Well, it seems i am not installing corectly, since i got a lot of problems. :((

Oh, that's why? Silly me :)))

Can you help me with a clean and correct install?

I told you, i had a lot of problems with my email. I use 3 pop3 email adresses. All of them with problems. :(

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mbk.2k3:
success! i found out that the reboots would freeze whenever the SD card was present. so i took out the SD card, and it booted fine into android over and over again. wonder why the SD card held things up. yay =D. loving the rom.

ofcourse, no sounds, will fix that later. i just have the one default ringtone and notification sound.

annoying that Rogers shows up twice on the notifications list and on the lock screen. anyone know why?

got google maps navigation working in canada. nearly woke up everyone on the bus this morning up here in the oil sands when the phone yelled "take hwy 63 south".

i need to figure out a few more things:

1. where does the browser download files

2. when do apps get stored on the SD card and when they dont.

3. why my SD card was causing the phone to freeze.

thanks for the great cyanogenmod.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
Great to hear. I was wondering if it might the SD card

1. Usually to the SD card, this phone will not work well without one...

2. Apps only go to the SD when you have an ext2/3/4 partition, if you formatted the entire SD card with one partition there will be no apps2sd.

3. I have a feeling the SD card is dead. You need to pick up a new one and test it out. You have very limited space on the phone w/out that SD card and crazy stuff may start happening. Go get a new MicroSDHC. If you arent going to use swap or apps2sd (which you dont need to with a 32a magic :) ), you can get a cheap MicroSDHC card. 8GB is probably fine, I have 16 and its more than enough space.

Also, nandroid, update flashing, etc need that sdcard. Get one working.

Somethings to try with the sdcard:

1) Boot into amon_ras 1.5.2 recovery, go to partition, partition the SD card with 0 as swap and 0 as ext3. It will make the rest fat32. Reboot. See if it works.

2)Insert the sdcard into the phone while its on, see if you are prompted to format it. If not, go to Settings>SD Card and Phone Storage>Format (may have to unmount first). Reboot, see if that fixes it.

I suspect its a hardware issue, not all sdcards are perfect.

Good luck.

EDIT: I forgot to address the double Rogers thing

I have it to. It sucks. I have looked at the code that controls and the layout and one line (the top one) is the network you are on and the bottom line is read from the simcard. T-Mobile phones (and everyone except Rogers, it seems) report the name rom the SIM. I know in theory how to fix it but I dont know how to implement the fix. Hopefully someone who knows how to build Android can fix it one day...I use Stericson's lockscreen with the darkstar theme, so the problem is only in the notification drawer, which I can live with.

thanks bcrook for the advice and info about the SDcard....

i was wondering how to reformat it so that it was all fat32 again. will try it the nandroid way.

but ultimately you are right, i need a larger microSD card. i dont like how it automatically stores photos on the microsd card.

also, i had to rewipe and reflash everything and for some reason the rogers apn wasn't working. the one that goes rogers-core-appl1.com. it refused to pick up 3G. i chagned it to internet.com and voila it worked. i wish i had the explanations for these thigns.

now to try to MOD it even more and make it the ultimate device.

i'm using cyanogenmod 4.2.8 but i, always, disconnects 3g connection in standby.

Do you have same problem?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
It uses the SD card because we simply dont have a lot of internal storage available to use.

I want to confirm that you know the difference b/t nandroid and recovery, I have seen a lot of people be confused by this

Recovery is the mode that you boot into when you hold Home while booting. This mode is a custom version of the one found on the AndroidDevPhone 1 and 2 phones (I believe the one we use is based off of the Google Ion (magic) so we can use our trackball). Amon_Ra has heavily modified it to make the whole process of flashing and backing up much easier.

Nandroid is basically a script that backs up the different partitions (ie. system, data, etc) to the sdcard. It is essentially a snapshot of the phone so that no matter how messed up the phone gets (within reason) you can get back to a working state. Nandroid is an invaluable tool and you need an sdcard to use it. I would recommend not flashing or messing with your phone until you get the sdcard working (or replaced).

From recovery, go to partition sdcard, it will prompt you for a swap amount (set to 0 by scrolling down with the scroll wheel), set the ext amount 0 the same way. The remaining space (the entire sd card) will be formatted to fat32 which is what the phone uses for downloads, nandroid backups, photos, music, etc.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] PremierITA:

After a wipe you always flash all the files (for a fresh install)

For the last version of Amon_Ra's recovery img, just copy the img file to the root of your SD and run adb

You can read about all the methods of install -> here
