Dumb question here (maybe) but how do I choose what contact groups the phone syncs from my Google account? There doesn't seem to be any menu options in the Contacts window and no option in my Google sync settings. I don't want it pulling All Contacts.

Thanks.

EDIT: Ah, I see the "Only contacts with a phone number" option now (swore there was a way to choose what groups from Google to use). How come I have to go to Phone -> Contacts button on lower right to be able to access the full contacts window? The contact button in the lower right normally goes to a search contacts window, and there doesn't seem to be a Contacts icon in All Programs. Oh, it's named "People". That'll do.

Bah, even with that option for only phone number ones checked, the other People area (where you search contacts) still shows EVERY email gmail ever added to my address book. So now I'm back to the question of how to eliminate them?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ace42:
It syncs all contacts not just phone numbers but also people fom gtalk,
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Zerxer:
Yeah, so.. no way to alter the settings? I know you could in other ROMs and I believe even the older SenseUI with Android 1.5 or 1.6.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ace42:
My point is they dont have the option your asking about.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] robocik:
you can choose if you want to sync contacts , gmail or calendar.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ace42:
he doesnt want to Pull all contacts only certain groups.

Chinese supports

A good news fro Chinese language users~

I managed to let this ROM able to display Chinese char.

It's quite simple.

First of all, u need to have the font files came from other ROMs that supports Chinese. (ex. Another ROM cooked by ahmgsk, the one without HTC UI)

1. Extract font files from the package which is located in "system/fonts/"

2. Copy them to your SD Card and.

3. Then use Terminal Emulator to remount /system and copy the font from sdcard to the font directory "/system/fonts/"

4. Reboot your device.

5. That's it, it Should work after you cold reboot.

Another exciting thing that all Chinese Users should notice is this ROM comes with a new version of HTC_CIME which works in Espresso~:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ahmgsk:
great give mer fonts too
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ma1121:
Files attached...

Here's the font files~

httｐ://goo.gl/kRBQ

One more thing, by using MoreLocale 2, I got most of the UI translated into Traditional Chinese. (It's OK to do with English for me, just mention it to let other Chinese users know)

Another thing is that whenever I open the Camera app, the whole system becomes extremely laggy... and no respond on any operation.

As far as i'm concern, this ROM is about 85% ready for daily use :cool:

(I'm easily satisfied with a working CIME; People App)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ma1121:
More updates

no junk SMS problem in the ROM!!

Tested with Traditional Chinese.

:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Zerxer:
Yeah. Well, not really certain groups. You know if you go into your google contacts (online) you have "My Contacts" which lists all the ones you actually manually added to a group and then you have "All Contacts" which lists every email you ever communicated with? It should be syncing with "My Contacts" and not "All"

Anyways, thanks for the answer. I guess I'll just have to look around. Good work on this ROM though, can't wait til the official Magic Sense 2.1 update is out (hopefully that works the way I'm expecting though? hm now I wonder).

This ROM is really realy close to Daily use ... but i got some problems with Dialer ... Acctualy it works ... but sometimes it takes ages to launch ... or sometimes it FC ... MAybe it is possible to implement there old HTC Dialer ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daeron666:
ok, now it works, it takes about 10' to boot....

there are some problems due to synchronize fb contacts with google contacts...

Once I have downloaded this ROM I had no problems. It was a stable fast ROM. But, once I tried to call somone it would not ring. You cannot hear the person on the other line and that person cannot hear you. Plz Fix

So, I need to do a same thing to copy the japanese word?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ma1121:
Hi Antony,

No, it's not needed to copy other fonts in order to display Japanese words.

I think this simple replacement of fonts enable us to read any 2 bytes words (i.e. Chinese, Japanese, Korean...etc).

I've tested, my device can now display Chinese(Traditional and Simplified), Japanese, and Korean.

Hope it helps~
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ma1121:
Report

Dear all,

Some results came up with a night's test on this ROM.

Pros:

1. This Rom is quite stable and close to everyday use. (About 80% usability)

2. Noticeable improvement in speed and smoothness compared to Hero Roms.

3. No junk SMS issue.

4. Ring extended works fine in this ROM (Not fully functional in most 1.5 based Hero Roms)

5. After some replacement of system font, this Rom is able to display any 2 bytes char. (i.e. Chinese, Japanese... etc)

6. A new and functional HTC_CIME with input method: ZhuYin, Cangjie, PinYin, Stroke.

Cons:

1. I got random reboot with my device!! I'm not sure if it's a complete reboot or just a modem failure (GSM module fail). I notice twice that when I switch my mobile from suspension, I got the SIM PIN code entering screen, which means there must be a re-init. of the modem module.

2. System may become extremely laggy. It just happened several times, The whole system becomes super slow when I try to use it after a certain period of time.

3. Phone App need to take a LONG time to load.

4. Mobile Network setting widget will not show in "off" status after mobile network is switched off.

5. Camera App would not init. on my device. (I suppose it's not a general case?)

6. Bluetooth not working (Already known)

7. Unable to get my location without using GPS. (It keeps saying that i'm in Saint-Joseph-du-Lac, which is a place in Montreal Canada, while I'm actually in Taiwan)

need help with this rom

hi ahmgsk, i have encountered issues with this rom.

i followed the steps to skip signing in to gmail and did it via the market app.

however, my account sync is OFF under settings->accounts &sync. im unable to sync my contacts/calendar whatsoever. how do i turn sync ON?

secondly, when i plug my phone to the desktop, it shows up as a removable disk (D:), but when i try to accesss it it says please insert a removable disk (D:). what steps should i take to access the sd card through USB?

not sure if anyone has encountered these issues yet. thanks!

my phone specs is as follows:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A

HBOOT - 1.33.2010

RADIO - 3.22.20.17
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ma1121:
Two solutions, both worked for me,

1. Sign in your Google account directly in Settings=> Accounts &Sync (instead from Market)

or

2. Just be patient and wait for a while, the Google account you signed-in with market is not ready to sync with your calender, contacts and Gmail. I waited for about 5 min and check back again. You will find there are three options (Sync Contacts, Sync Gmail, Sync Calender) were not there at the beginning, check them and the Sync should be "on"

Use the MountUSB App come with the ROM, that should do the trick.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] phosphorique:
problems solve but another problem persists.

hey thanks so much for your help. its working now. :)

there is another issue with gps though. im using sygic mobile maps 9 and im getting force close everytime i try to run the app. any idea whats the issue?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ma1121:
I suppose this is due to App not supporting Android 2.1 framework. Since GPS init. perfectly with Google maps, so we can make sure that GPS is functional with out doubt.

I'm also having some FCs on other Apps, such as Terminal Emulator, and Root Explorer. We can only hope that the programmers of those Apps soon update their App to meet the 2.1 framework standers.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] phosphorique:
yeah.. i suppose so. GREAT ROM NONETHELESS!

The location not detecting properly is a bit of annoying, one of my colleague even sent me a message from GTalk, asking if I'm on a trip at Canada :confused:

Since my Google latitude is telling him I'm at Montreal, Canada :cool:

i will work on it soon

sorry for that :P enjoy roaming all over the world
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ma1121:
While I'm wondering where my Magic think i'm this morning, I opened Google map and found out it is showing exactly where I am!! (At my work place, and is even more accurate with out the help of GPS)

How amazing it is~ :D

And still, my camera is not working...(I tried to flash the ROM again yesterday with wipe of almost everything, still no success)

No idea why...

I'm not missing my cam until I tried to scan something with Bar code Scanner, and suddenly remembered that my cam is dead
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] swissp:
I think "Espresso" (with a "s") is a device and that the UI is still called Sense but I'm not 100% sure.

You can still watch Youtube videos in the HTC browser as its supports Flash.

I've been running this ROM for two days now and it's pretty good. I am running it without partitions on my sdcard and it's not light fast (about 25% slower than Magic GyD or Manup's Eclair) but is usable though. I haven't had any problems with the localisation, the only problem I've had is that the phone rebooted twice when I was playing with the camera settings.

Thanks Eugene and ahmgsk! can't wait for the next release, hopefully with both multitouch and camera :)

Results of my testing

Hi all, i have used this rom for a day now. So far the issues i have encountered are:

1. The phone reboots for no apparent reason. It was on standby and it rebooted itself.

2. The chinese characters cannot be displayed.

3. GPS apparently seems to init and doesnt go off after i exit sygic mobile maps. In 1.5 i remembered it will auto disconnect once i exit sygic mobile maps. Anyone knows if its supposed to be like this or is it a bug?

Anyone can guide me through the process of installing the HTC_CIME files and thus displaying the chinese characters properly? I tried once but failed(not so proficient at using adb).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lancelotchen:
1. I guess it related with swapper. Try to disable it.

2. Porting GBK font manuallay.

3. GPS is no working.

4. CIME can be installed, but can not work. using google input.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lancelotchen:
One more issues:

Does VPN work? I try it and always can not connect.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ma1121:
I think I've already written in my previous post, mentioned how to get ALL 2-bytes char. be display properly in this ROM... :confused:

I'll just quote what I've already said again here...with some quick note.

The trick is to remount the /system partition as r/w in order to port the font files. And the HTC_CIME is ALREADY in place and ready to use! No google pinyin is needed to be install.

Just..take some time to trace this thread and you will find out this issue had already been discussed before.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] phosphorique:
Hey ok i read up myself on adb wiki and did a manual adb push all the files. Now all display is working correctly. Thanks dude!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] phosphorique:
Hey regarding your points:

1. I did not turn on swapper, so i guess its not the cause?

2. Transferred all files by adb push now all working fine.

3. GPS works PERFECTLY. Its just that it does not disconnect after i turn off GPS app(which it does automatically in myhero2.0.5).

4. CIME is installed. Just need to extract all these files from http://goo.gl/kRBQ (thanks to MA1121 for providing the file:)) then use adb to push.

HOWTO PUSH:

You need to have Android SDK. Download from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

1. Extract all the files into your Android SDK-->tools directory. (E.g. AndroidSDK/tools)

2. Open command prompt (windows start button --> Run --> Type: cmd)and navigate to your Android SDK tools directory. (E.g AndroidSDK/tools)

3. Type: adb devices (should see ur device there)

4. Type: adb remount (should see remount succeeded)

5. Type: adb push DroidSans.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf

6. Repeat STEP 5 for the remaining 7 .ttf files (total 8 .ttf files)

7. Type: adb reboot

8. Unplug your phone, wait for it to boot and TA-DA!! Your chinese characters will show up!

HTC Sense force close

Hi, i just expanded my home screen from 5 pages to 7 pages.

There are no problems switching from the left most panel to the first panel to the right (from middle). Any further swiping to the right will cause htc sense to force close and restart(screen will turn to htc logo and load again).

Anyone knows the problem/solution?

Looks nice judging from the screenshots :) I'm not a big fan of the embossed icons but perhaps that will change when I see it on my phone.

Excuse me can you better explain, in the first post, which rom has been updated and the differences between please?

P.S. I installed last kingclick version and doesn't work:

- Settings Widget (Wifi, BT, GPS....)

- Android IM (WLM says that my password is wrong...)

btw i'm testing for other issues...!!

I installed last kingclick version and doesn't work:

- Missing: Settings, Music and Email Widgets

- Android IM (WLM says that my password is wrong...)

- Fb sync doesn't work at all

- Leds

btw i'm testing for other issues...!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lancelotchen:
Try several hours.

1, More fast than last version. Even better than some 1.6 rom

2, BT can not work.

3, MT can work, but a little lag.

4, Camera works fine, video can not work, and video will cause camera not work until restart phone.

5, VPN work, but a little lag. (youtube can work by VPN, but only sound, no picture)

6, 7th screen still crash.

7, send mms correctly. but looks failed to receive.

8, Contack can not sorted by Chinesed character. ( It is a very old problem )
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daeron666:
my cam works fine....!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lancelotchen:
LED looks ok.

sync, wifi, net(I use EDGE only) ok.

GPS looks work... But there is no navagation in my GMAP even I upgrade it to 3.3.1, I don't know why.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Dark_Elf:
I can confirm that led works, excepted for the orange led when you plug the battery charger (but when the battery is charged the green led turns correctly on)

I get FCs when I try to turn on positioning through wireless networks, however GPS works.

If I exclude this FC and Bluetooth, it's really a great ROM :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LooSeGoD:
Was also getting FC on 6th screen only got as far as the 7th once (FC also)

Wallpaper does not set using Wallpaper gallery (Non Rosie)

Contacts did not fully sync - No favorites or Pictures (rebooted and forced sync couple of times)

Facebook Contacts also did not sync at all

However, everything kernel based that you said would work did work etc... Most issues are due to the rom being in the early porting stages.

Thanks for the opportunity to preview this ahmgsk. Once it matures more will definitly being using it as my daily.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Dark_Elf:
Strange: contacts sync worked flawlessly for me and I'm also using the People widget with favorites. I didn't try Facebook sync because I don't use it.

My contacts never synced, I couldn't even see them in the sync options in settings.
