[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] scyzerd:
Firstly I'd like to thank PSYCHO13OI on the #cyanogenmod IRC channel for spending quite a bit of his time helping me out. I thought I might just throw my problem out there.

I received my new HTC Magic a few days ago, but spent quite a few days prior researching different ROMs.

I've got a 32A that came from 3 Australia.

Firstly, a summary of what I originally did.

After receiving my phone and playing around with the original ROM;

1) I fastbooted into: recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img.

2) I wiped data, and wiped a non-existant ext partition.

3) I partitioned the SD card using 32MB swap-size and a 256MB ext partition. Further I used ext2 -> ext3.

4) Loaded and flashed the following in order:

- DRC83_base_defanged

- update-cm-4.2.11.1-signed

5) Rebooted.

After 30 minutes of the original boot splash screen, I took the battery out (I couldn't, and still can't, figure out how to hard power off) and re-fastbooted into the recovery image.

6) I reperformed steps 1-4, this time actually flashing the kernel port: bc-4.2.11.1-ebi1-signed. I also repartitioned the SD card using a swap size of 256MB and ext partition of 1024MB and went from ext2 -> ext3 -> ext4.

7) Rebooted again.

8) When I get to the "Touch the android to begin." screen, I got this error message:

Sorry!

The process com.android.

phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

My only option is to force close which still allows me to touch the android and proceed as normal. Otherwise, everything seemed fine and dandy.

A few days later I decided to try using the Camera and Camcorder apps. This caused a reboot. This did not happen on the original ROM.

After the reboot I noticed that the home screen hung after trying to swipe my home screen. This eventually lead to the error message (after 10 seconds or so):

Sorry!

Activity Home(in process

android.process.acore) is not

responding.

I was prompted with the option to either force close or wait. Choosing either will restore complete functionality in 20-30 seconds.

Now this happens after every reboot (and I'm uncertain whether or not it is related to the Camera issue).

Trying to fix both issues, I repeated the flashing process, this time wiping the dalvik-cache as well.

Still no go. I've made the logcats of the first boot after reflashing CM 4.2.11.1 as well as a reboot. I have also linked my last_kmsg after rebooting due to the Camera app crash.

This camera issue is touched on here: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=792

As for the Camera issue, similar to the OP in the above thread, I only have issues when on battery power. However, I do not have any issues in other apps that utilize the camera such as barcode readers.

Things I have not tried:

- Another CM version.

- Wiping battery information or anything else other than data/ext partition/dalvik-cache.

- Reflashing an original ROM (which I did not backup - my friend's Magic is coming in the next week or so, so I'll grab his image).

Hopefully I've documented everything important (and perhaps trivial). I'm open to any suggestions.

EDIT: Some things I forgot to mention.

- 8GB Class 4 SD card

- Added details to my original post about partition sizes/types.
