myTouch 3G Software Update starting Feb. 9th

02-09-2010 03:44 PM - last edited on 02-09-2010 08:19 PM

Hello myTouch 3G users!

T-Mobile is scheduled to send out an over-the-air (OTA) software update to myTouch 3G users beginning February 9. This update will improve MyTouch user's call performance only and does not include any additional feature enhancements. The Android 1.6 DMD64 OTA (this OTA is not Android 2.0 Eclair) is being sent to myTouch 3G customers only and is not being sent to other Android devices at this time. You can check here for the latest updates on all of our Android devices. The myTouch 3G LE and myTouch 3G with 3.5mm jack devices will not receive this update as these devices have the updated software.

You will receive a notification on your device informing you that you have recieved an OTA update. Once you receive the message, you will have the option to Install Now or Install Later. You will need to accept the download to install the new software. After the OTA is complete, the device will reboot and no further action is required.

T-Mobile Representatives will be unable to manually send the OTA update to myTouch users. OTAs are scheduled and the system will send them out automatically.

Note:

* myTouch user's without the required myTouch data plan will not receive the OTA and must add the data plan in order to receive the update.

* This update is not Eclair.

* This OTA will be seamless and you will not lose any of your personal information or downloads.

* Once again, this update is to improve call performance only and does not include other feature enhancements.

Thank you!

Bluetooth works well on my T-Mo MT3G. I'm using Super-D 1.8 with a motoroloa BT headset. In fact I'm also pairing the headset with my sprint phone and everything works flawless. The MT3G is phone 1, and my sprint phone is phone 2.

The headset even reports battery level for the MT3G, but not for the second phone. It's documented that it can report battery level for only one phone.

My headset is a Motorola H790. It's my 2nd or 3rd Moto BT headset. I've tried some others but like Moto the best. It's small, and has a 'voice' UI that works well.
[G1 Android Development] linuxluver:
Voice Fixed!

Yay! This works. Now I can use SuperD or Fasttest on my main phone.
[G1 Android Development] deaftly:
amazing

This ROM is amazing. Great work man.
[G1 Android Development] digitallysick:
Looks like we need to get our hands on that update and see whats in it!
[G1 Android Development] Silence66:
yeah would be great:)
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Thanks, this indeed is a working fix! Would never have thought about something like this!

SuperD, DarkStar theme, Advanced Launcher, Motoblur effects. Can it get any better than this!! :D
[G1 Android Development] mclarenfung:
thanks alot

waiting 4 your HEART:D
[G1 Android Development] TonyDeez:
Pretty new to the flashing scene, so...how would I go about pushing the 1.6 Music.apk into my phone? Will this revert my music widget back to the Donut one?

One more thing, I'm not a fan of the five-icon launcher. One of the reasons being that it lags (compare it to the 4-icon one). The tray skips a bit when opening to load the "tray-close" image. So is it possible that I can push that and make it the main Home too?
[G1 Android Development] dreamhunterr:
Yes, it will revert the app to its donut version (which I actually prefer). Well, I don't know if you have adb up and running or if you are a command line savvy (it's really easy, just use adb push or from the shell the cp command to put Music.apk into system/app) so i'll pack you a metamorph patch. Install metamorph from the market, put the MusicD.zip in your SDCARD, run Metamorph, choose that file and apply it.

About the launcher, if you get your hands on the .apk you can replace the default launcher...that's a cupcake launcher right?

--- edit

I pulled the launcher.apk from the 1.5 HTC ADP1 build, and yeah, it works. I don't think it's any faster though. It messes a bit with the google widget and the tray picture is different though that can be easily changed. If you really want it I can make you an hybrid lol (4 icons + eclairish look)
[G1 Android Development] TonyDeez:
Thanks for the MusicD.zip. Works great, though I prefer the newer music widget, I can easily substitute that with the new Pure Music Widget.

As for the default launcher, it is from 1.6. As you can see, my main ROM is Enomther's ADP, I've compared it to Cyanogen, Dwang, and Super D. The home screen scrolling a barely smoother (a lot if compared to Cyanogen), but the tray opening sequence lags once things start to pile up. It even skips when opening as compared to the stock's smooth opening of the tray.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
All donut roms have the standard 1.6 launcher, but the stock one found on enom's are faster than on other roms. I think this has the launcher themed.
[G1 Android Development] TonyDeez:
Thing is, I metamorphed both my Enomther's launcher and Super D's launcher with the same zip file. So I don't think theme is affecting the launcher speed too much. And if enom's launcher is faster than Super D's as you and I say, is there a way to port it to Super D?
[G1 Android Development] dreamhunterr:
Idk, it might have to do smth about image compressing or even an xml tweak. You can surely port it, specially if it is from a 1.6 rom...But beware with metamorphs, maybe it messed up your launcher, cause they seem to be different; maybe the launcher meth went beyong just replacing pictures...

Anyway, I'll try to check if that launcher is quicker; if it is, i'll port it.
[G1 Android Development] Silence66:
mh got a FC when receiving a mms. also the one i send a mms to receives only a empty one. and when i want to receive a mms i got a FC of the mms process and cannot dl the pic
[G1 Android Development] TonyDeez:
Just grabbed the one from Enomther's expansion pack and pushed it to my phone (thanks for the adb tip :D). The launcher now has 4 icons like the one I was talking about. But it still skips unlike itself on enomther's ROM. Perhaps the problem lie elsewhere?
[G1 Android Development] dreamhunterr:
Maybe the last time you felt the launcher really responsive you had few apps installed, ergo, a smaller launcher rendering load. Or it might have to do with the ROM itself, idk about that : F
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
You can try just pushing it to this rom but I don't see any need to do so, the theme won't affect the speed of the rom unless then images are

very

big in size. Enom's rom has better battery life than this, at least for me. I'm waiting for 1.9 to come, but for now I'm enjoying eclair since its at stock donut speed.
[G1 Android Development] dreamhunterr:
Indeed, it's cuter (the eclair one). I don't use the widget, but now that you brought that up, I made a metamorph (MWidget.zip) to get eclair music widget on 1.6 Music.apk!

Beware that when I applied it my phone rebooted, dunno why (metamorphed freaked out somehow). But it worked just fine.

note to others: this metamorph is for 1.6 music player (different from the one that comes default on SuperD 1.8; don't patch if unless you already pushed 1.6 music.apk...); if you want donut's player, patch MusicD.zip beforehand....
[G1 Android Development] paulstamat:
I had the rom slow to a crawl. Get backup for root, then backup the apks. Do a wipe. Reinstall 1.8. Install backup for root again, get your apks installed through backup. For some reason this gives more space on the rom. Regardless, back to being super fast
[G1 Android Development] TonyDeez:
Is it safe for me to assume this can only be done on ROMs with Eclair's framework? Having this one an Enomther's ROM will be awesome.
[G1 Android Development] S4L3M:
Hey people, im so damn happy to found this rom its so amazing fast! But i have two questions:

1) i have my sdcard formated to ext4 for this rom but now i need help cause i dont get debian to install/run on it. i dont find a complete step by step HowTo.

i tried the following HowTo´s:

elitehardware.de/debian-unter-android-pm-8.html

and

androidfanatic.com/cms/community-forums.html

2) would it be possible to get flash for the webbrowser?

Greetz S4L3M
[G1 Android Development] dreamhunterr:
I think you got confused.

You can apply the MWidget.zip on SuperD (with my previous patch por 1.6 music.apk) or any other 1.6/Donut ROM using a Donut Music Player. That said, it can be directly applied on TheOfficial DONUT TMO US/EU, ADP & AOSP (dream/32B) by enomther, since it comes with a 1.6 music apk.
[G1 Android Development] TonyDeez:
I tried to apply only the MWidget.zip on enomther's ROM and it didn't work out. I just got the donut widget skinned black with the same blue play/pause icon and the blue middle layer.

EDIT: Tried applying MusicD before MWidget this time and it worked...on the widget's side. The app now force closes like no tomorrow.
[G1 Android Development] Silent killer:
hi, i installed superd coming from dwang. I have not wiped ext partition, and i've all my apps working. I noticed that my 3g connection is too slow... running speedtest i have only 50-100kbits in download.. is it a bug?
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
You should have wiped since Super-D is very different and even uses a different kernel fro Super-D, but you said everything was fine except you data.

When you DL apps from market does it take a long time?
[G1 Android Development] Silent killer:
yes, it takes a long time.. :\ it's still in starting download

I wiped everything except the ext4 partition, i flashed radio and dangerspl correctly..
[G1 Android Development] dreamhunterr:
Can't really tell what happens on enomther, but I believe that FC can be solved. First try a reboot. Then go to Settings -> Application Settings -> Manage Applications -> Music and clear cache (if existant) and data. It's odd that it FCs like that though.
[G1 Android Development] Silent killer:
i tried to wipe everything again, ext included.. but my connection is too slow :\
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Maybe it has to do with your connection and not the actual rom.

Browser startup crashes in libwebcore.so

I've posted this over at MyTouch forum and thought it should be linked here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5615678&postcount=5

I've got two myTouch 3G's running v1.8 and only one exhibits this problem. Using same recovery image on both phones and have wiped data as well with same results. Not using apps2sd; only have a fat partition on sdcard.

This happens with all SuperD flavors (white/black/nexus/standard) and with FastTest roms. I've never seen this until recently, so until now flashing superD roms has always worked on this phone. Search around I've found a few others that have had this same issue with libwebcore.so. Not sure whey this library is so problematic, but it seems to be susceptible to corruption.

Anyone else ever run into this sort of problem?
[G1 Android Development] Izord:
I read this post, and also the one you linked. Just not sure what your problem is.

What happens if you just do a clean flash of super-d 1.8? Do both your phones work properly then? I guess I don't know what a recovery image is. Why do you need to use that?

I just downloaded super-d from the link on the first post and that works well on my MT3G.

What is a library? I went to one a few years ago, they had books in there. :D

I flash a new rom every couple of days or so. Often come back to Super-D. Can't wait for the 1.9. If I feel like putting some apps back on I have a utility that lets me install all the .apk's I want with a couple of clicks from my desktop.

Now that most of the good roms have google maps and google talk included sometimes I skip the apps. Google synchronizes my contacts when I sign in. Can you explain what a recovery image is for?
[G1 Android Development] tmusall:
Just a little more technical information to add:

I've compared the good vs. bad libwebcore.so files and found something interesting. Corruption begins at offset 0x38000 and ends at 0x3a000 which is exactly 0x2000 (8192) bytes long.

[G1 Android Development] SIKKBOY:
Most things seem to be working correctly..I cant get apps2sd to work at all regardless of ext...I reformat and repartion to ext 2,3,4... all to no avail. wipe and cleared everything..and reinstalled in all possible configurations......no such luck...any idea why it seem to refuse apps2sd...I'm lost as I used all other roms and this has never been an issue. Also secondary partion space shows unavailable under settings menu..Im running a MT3G on stock spl... and latest radio, ra latest recovery. Any tips?
[G1 Android Development] tmusall:
Thanks for trying to help, but I'm looking for developer input on this one. :)
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Its disabled for the Magic b/c it was originally made for Dream users since it has less internal memory.
[G1 Android Development] SIKKBOY:
i see wonder if there is a patch with it enabled...thank you for the info.
[G1 Android Development] Izord:
OK, Well if you have two identical pieces of hardware, and put the same software on them, and one phone consistently is borked, then its a hardware problem.

Unless you're not starting from the same state on both pieces. Are you cleaning them both before flashing?

I know, you want a developer. To tell you something's wrong with your phone. :D
[G1 Android Development] Silence66:
read your twitter msg 1min ago and now pressing f5 every min and waiting for 1.9:D
[G1 Android Development] tmusall:
I think this has something to do with this phone's nand flash memory. It appears there may be some bad blocks. That could explain the 0x2000 byte corruption size. Now to figure out how to detect and map bad blocks in a yaffs2 file system.
[G1 Android Development] vln004:
awww geeez, now you've got me doing it :mad:
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
The nand can get worn out over time from continuous or abusive flashing, which most people here excluding myself of course(:p) will most likely experience. This normally isn't serious b/c stock users barely have to flash any kind of OTA. But as time comes and goes so does the physical parts in a machine.
[G1 Android Development] Silence66:
lol;) cause i do a full wipe before flashing 1.9 i have now time to test some other roms like open eclair 1.2.1;)
[G1 Android Development] tmusall:
No doubt about that, but this phone has been flashed maybe 20 times (it's the wife's and she doesn't like me playing with it). According to the yaffs2 design docs whenever the file system is mounted it can detect bad blocks. So there's really not much you can do from user space to check the flash for bad blocks. It's done automatically in yaffs2 from what I can tell. Just wonder how long it will take to detect it.

Is the /system/lib folder moved or copied during first boot initialization? Strange how the libwebcore.so is fine right after flashing and then becomes corrupt after first boot. I can only guess that it has been copied or rewritten. I don't really know all the details of what goes on during first boot.
[G1 Android Development] TonyDeez:
How would I go about adding the Advanced Launcher onto this ROM and totally replace the regular launcher in the process? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Nevermind me, I've figured it out. Tested the normal 5 launcher provided by Super D vs a 4 icon launcher from Advanced Launcher (which is reported to lag). Suprisingly, the tray-opening lag found in the normal Super D launcher was the columns it contained. Now I sport Super D with advanced launcher (no tray names and 3 columns) and it opens like a marshmallow.
[G1 Android Development] :
I use a themed advanced launcher, 5 screens with 64 widgets and never suffered lag on a Super D rom yet. Love to know where these rumours about advanced launcher comes from.

Meh actually I wouldnt, if people are to daft to try things instead of listening bugger em :D
[G1 Android Development] bhilgeman:
Agreed, I ALWAYS flash a themed advanced launcher on every ROM I use and never have any issues. It should be built into every ROM I say.

I don't think I will be straying from SuperD any time soon! Looking forward to 1.9!
[G1 Android Development] SD2691:
Anxiously awaiting 1.9.......this morning...or tomorrow morning... hmm...
[G1 Android Development] Mileno:
I am thinking about installing this rom but it supports flac files?

Greetings!
[G1 Android Development] Sh4wN:
Yep, it does. :)
[G1 Android Development] dylyxcore:
ive been stalking this thread for 1.9 for two days now! It says hell have it up this morning on his twitter
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
He said there were some bumps in the road so he needs to recompile to fix that swap control and other things.
[G1 Android Development] bunu:
I wiped everything except ext since I was going to Super D for a theme until the theme is ported to Cyanogen but after flashing super D and the theme and going to through set up, all the apps weren't there! I'm on the MT3G and I been hearing there wasn't apps2sd on super do for MT3G. for now I'm pushing all my apps to system/apps with Android Commander and I'm hoping that it will work.

I hope you make apps2sd for both the g1/MT3G and make every update a no wipe update for this to be a true daily use ROM.

EDIT: Well I pushed everything and it worked.
[G1 Android Development] sino8r:
The only thing missing from this ROM is brightness control for 3rd party apps such as flashlight, etc. The PERFECT donut rom by far even better than cyan's (far less reboots and FC's). Looking forward to advancements and the new 2.1 Super E continuations. Great job, dude!
[G1 Android Development] xdaofficeuser111:
Does anyone has google apps process foreclose???

I never successfully apply this ROM on my G1 .... my G1 is without ext and I use only the phone memory.

I am using RA-Recovery 1.5.2 and I wipe data, Dalvik before I flash this ROM. I even repartition my SD card (i.e. no data on there)

However, no matter how I flash the ROM, when I am asked to enter my google login details gapps always foreclose and I can't proceed. Any step I missed?

I am on Danger SPL as well .....

I really want to try this ROM .....
[G1 Android Development] Joe333x:
Did you try skipping the login and then login in through the market ?
[G1 Android Development] xdaofficeuser111:
The message com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly keeps coming up :( .........
[G1 Android Development] xdaofficeuser111:
Tried what you suggested. But the message "com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly" keeps coming up ....

:( ....

Am I the first one to encounter such problem??
[G1 Android Development] dreamhunterr:
Did you wipe before flashing or modified SuperD18.zip? Did you flash any theme afterwards?
[G1 Android Development] xdaofficeuser111:
I wiped both data and Dalvik before I flashed. I have Danger SPL. Haven't modified the SuperD18.zip. SD card without ext partition .....

:( So frustrated .... Did a google search over the forum and it seems I am the only one having this problem .....
[G1 Android Development] bbuchacher:
need to wipe your ext partition as well
[G1 Android Development] Joe333x:
perhaps you could try using an ext partition? I think almost everyone that use a G1 uses apps2sd
[G1 Android Development] KingSkeme:
Ive been searching but I cant find much...Super D runs great and everything but Wifi for me is pretty spotty....Im on a mytouch. Is there anything Im overlooking or anything?
[G1 Android Development] shadizzle79:
i've been using this ROM on my mytouch for the last couple of hours and with all of my apps loaded also with some widgets on screen, i must say that i love this ROM...excellent work my friend :)
[G1 Android Development] Neejay:
how do you skip the login?
[G1 Android Development] dreamhunterr:
Pressing the skip button. (Create GAcc, Sign In and Skip are the possible options if I recall the setup wizard interface...)
[G1 Android Development] Neejay:
oh lol. I was thinking about the whole setup, not just the gmail part.
[G1 Android Development] digitallysick:

I'm happy he's working his ass off just to better our phones!
[G1 Android Development] pychobj2001:
Now I don't know if i should go to sleep! or wait for 1.9!!! eh..sleep..I gotta get up early! can't wait to play w/ 1.9 tho! i just hope my switchrom stops acting up and restores roms correctly..i reformated the SD so it should be fine now...I hope he has the nexus theme of 1.9 when he releases it...will have to see!
[G1 Android Development] Z3ko:

thanx to Ben's Super D im a crackhead!!! always looking on this thread, i got it on lock! and im following his twitter via google reader!, best rom ever! 10/10, dont hesitate to release updates just for releasing it, take all the time you want, Super D 1.8 is perfect, and I guess Super D1.9 will be the bomb!, so people dont rush him! let him take his time, he has never dissapointed us! keep up the excellent work Ben!

Att: Gaby tha Super D crack head:eek:
[G1 Android Development] legend221:
Back to the trusty Super D rom again.

I was troubleshooting an issue I had for awhile and I believe it was experienced only by me.

I am happy to report it was a hardware issue that I fixed a week ago.

Now all is well in the world and can rock this most fast and stable release.

A round of applause for the man for sure.

Much respect for all you do Ben!
[G1 Android Development] Nevermindyou:
THAT market problem

Hi after searching through this and the OpenEclair post to no avail i just gotta ask.

My market is really slow, and there is no paid app tab in the market. I'm sure other people have been getting this as well. I have the danger spl, and i wiped and cleared ext partition(not delete). So does anyone have a solution for this =o?

EDIT:

Well apparently a ROM fix solves the market problem in OpenEclair, hopefully this is the case for SuperD as well and in 1.9 the market will be back to it's former speed.
[G1 Android Development] Flirtino:
No SMS received problem solved?

Just a quick question, I tried to look for in the forum but no indication of it: does this have the same problem the cyanogen ROMs suffer from of not receiving or "losing" text/SMS? I've been using this for 48hours and I must say it's THE best ROM I've ever used so far. Excellent work. Can someone confirm that it doesn't have the lost SMS problem though?

Cheers
[G1 Android Development] :
Try deleteing any market updates and see if that works.
[G1 Android Development] Nevermindyou:
There isn't any update to delete from, I was scared that was causing the problem in the first place. I was told to backup another market apk from a working rom and then push it into this ROM, bleh so tedious.
