Mm it looks like the google maps library is not builtin to the system image.

Maybe there is a solution here, looks like somebody has the same problem.

And Dianne Hackborn (google android developer) gives some help:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lk_517:
You mean simply reboot the device? No, doesn't work.

Thanks for your reply, would you mind to estimate when will the next version release? I am looking forward to develop something based on your 2.1 ROM:)

BTW, talking about the working Bluetooth, you mean it works for audio device or even works for SPP etc. protocols?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lk_517:
I did exactly the same steps to my system, doesn't work either for app installation from sdk. It works for market though.

I also tried to push my own apk to data/app, nothing surprise:( I can not see my icon in app panel.

This app is tested on Android 1.5 without problem previously
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
I would go back to version 1.2 of this rom, I'm aiming to update it over the next few days. 1.2.1 is a bit buggy but I haven't had any time to work on bugfixes since week.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
Rom release: 1.3 is out

Version 1.3

- download

Added automatic swap (it will use a swap partition if one is detected. A swap file will be created if none is detected)

Fixed Google Maps bug (TjerkW perhaps you could confirm this? :) )

Added Google maps with multitouch from brut.all

Gallery is back and is working

Insufficient storage error is fixed

---

With the swap enabled this runs quite smoothly now ... no more home screen reloads!

Please note that google maps causes a force close when you boot your device, thereafter it works normally ... a small price to pay to get the multi touch version with international navigation.

I welcome any feedback as always.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lk_517:
Thanks! This version works for app installation!

Thanks again for your effort!

BTW: One more question if you don't mind. Talking about the working Bluetooth, you mean it works just for audio device or even works for File push or SPP etc. protocols?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lk_517:
Another question after the testing:

There is no Gmaps app installed right? When I click on the Maps icon, it indicates "Application is not installed on your phone"

I tried to install it from market but it said "Incompatible update"
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nicknowsky:
hows this compare to Kings v1.5 or OpenEclair v1.5
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
Maps should be working fine .. I tested before the release.

You can either apply the hacked maps again from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=627582

Or if you upgraded from 1.2.1 I would recommend wipe and install 1.3 (1.2.1 was an experimental release).

Well I am biased, but I think this is one of the faster Eclair roms available. I haven't tried kingklick's rom but I have played around with openeclair.

Rom updated to 1.3.1

A small update, have recompiled the kernel adding auto CPU scaling. This will automatically overclock to 528Mhz on demand.

This rom is getting quite fast now!! Here's the download

Mquinteiro: Let me know your APN details and I'll add them to the apns-conf.xml

Next I am working on the orientation sensor.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] c130pilot:
Nice work, St0kes! Been running Cyanogen's ROMs and have been getting really frustrated with 1.6 ROMS in general. The lag, especially when I need to make a phone call was killing me. This thing is FAST!

So far it's great with a couple issues I've taken note of in the first hour or so of playing with this ROM.

1. The camera is working, but after taking a photo, there is a black and white checker screen for a few seconds (the preview of the photo you just took). However, it takes the photo just fine and you are able to view it afterwards.

2. After using a few apps and then the camera, the home screen blanked and had to reload everything which took a few seconds. (Just ran out of memory or something?) No big deal, just thought I'd pass it on.

3. I know you said it's next on your list, but the G-sensor's gotta work! :)

Either way, GREAT JOB, I'll be keeping this ROM even with the small problems listed above because it's so much more usable! Post a paypal link and I'll send a "beer" your way!

Potential bug report:

I'm using "Weather widget" and have successfully been able to set it to "use phone's location" on other ROMs. Now that I have updated to this ROM, the "use phone's location" feature is no longer working. When I enter a zipcode, it works fine. I also notice that the browser shows my current location. I guess it could be a problem with the weather widget, but since it just stopped working with this ROM I'm wondering if there's something that's preventing it from accessing my phone's location to get the local weather data? Anyone else experience this?

Well I have the g-sensor working, I will upload 1.3.2 tonight....

I've had the same problem since 1.3 upwards with that weather widget. I'm pretty sure it's because of the hacked google maps as it uses the maps api to get your location. If this causes too many problems with other apps I'll revert back to the standard google maps with no multitouch and navigation.

What's next?? getting youtube to work I guess :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] c130pilot:
Good news on the G sensor. :) Anxiously awaiting download. :D!

I ended up getting rid of the hacked google maps and installing the latest update (4.0 I think?). Didn't realize I'd loose multitouch by doing that, but I think I would rather be able to keep the maps updated, so no big deal. FWIW that didn't seem to fix the weather widget problem.

A couple questions, if you don't mind:

1. Noticed there's no multitouch in the browser? Any plans for this?

2. Really want to get rid of the white Status Bar and change it to black. I have MetaMorph, but am having a hard time finding a theme that's compatible with this release. Seems like there's a ton of Metamorph themes for other ROMs, and figure it's just because this ROM is so new, being 2.1. Do you know of any that are compatible with this ROM that would change the bar to black?

Thanks, and again, nice job, I'm very happy with this ROM.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] c130pilot:
Now that I've had a chance to mess with this a little more, here's another find. (Hopefully this is helpful, and not me just posting too much!)

There seems to be a problem with the dictionary/keyboard/auto-suggest feature. It is giving high priority to names in my Contacts list. What ends up happening is that as I type a simple word, like "and" it automatically fills in "Anderson" as it's first choice. This is making typing any message virtually impossible... or at least very slow. I posted a question on this in the main android forum thinking it's probably a 2.1 problem, but also thought I'd mention it here in case it is ROM specific.

Is there a way to fix this, or at least exclude the Contacts from the dictionary?

*** edit *** Didn't find a fix for the native keyboard, but installing and running the anysoftkeyboard from the market works well. ****

Fixed a few other minor issues

---

Location aware apps are behaving oddly (including the weather widget mentioned earlier). I've gone back to the stock google maps for now but the bug still exists. Will try to fix in the next release ...

Thanks for the kind offer of donations! Maybe I'll put a donation button in the original post.

I might also put the htc_ime in the next build. The stock keyboard is rubbish.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TjerkW:
Just installed the latest version..

The issue with the google maps lib not installed is resolved! Thank!

However i still miss apps in the android market app. The hyves application is not in there:

http://nl.androlib.com/android.application.com-hyves-android-application-zDnq.aspx

Google maps was not preinstalled in your latest version, actually i did not do a wipe, but after installing the rom my old maps app was gone.

In the market however, there i could only "update" the app... so it was installed somewhere i think.. strange. However updating failed:

02-11 23:09:51.086: ERROR/PackageManager(100): Package com.google.android.apps.maps signatures do not match the previously installed version; ignoring!

02-11 23:09:51.086: WARN/PackageManager(100): Package couldn't be installed in /data/app/com.google.android.apps.maps.apk
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TjerkW:
Ah the signature error is solved by:

uninstall google maps fully from

"settings" in the application menu settings->applications->mange

applications-> select the application->select "uninstall

And then reinstall from the market..

too bad gps still doesnt work,

i also havent seen the acceleromter working.... should i do a wipe to enable that?

Dont want to do a wipe really. ;-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] c130pilot:
GPS is working fine for me. I think some programs that use cell towers for your position such as Weather Widget are not working properly, but the GPS is functioning as it should on my device. Google maps also working fine. Did not wipe from the previous version (1.3.1).

Accelerometer working great!!! This thing is FAST! Makes my MT3G fun to use again... no more waiting on that stupid dialer.

Nice update.

Any input on where to get a black status bar that will work with this build?

Tim
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Rwarasaurus:
Great work with the accelerometer :D

Some apps are missing from market i.e. 'Klaxon'

Orange UK APN is missing ... maybe worth using cyanogenmod for the config? or maybe the 'Compiling a complete APN List' topic in 'myTouch 3G, Magic General' forum

I have a feeling it may be spl related if it happens on all eclair roms, I see you're using the same radio as me so that's not the problem.

Download the MarketEnabler.apk and copy it to your sd card, then open it using Astro (or your favourite file manager).

Problem with in call sound

Have successfully installed your ROM, and find it very smooth and fast. I have one problem which is that when making phone calls, although the person at the other end can hear me I can't hear them. It's as though the speaker is dead.

Everything works fine when I restore back to my previous rom. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Thanks for your help

You mentioned restoring your previous ROM... what was your previous ROM? Did you wipe before installing this 2.1 ROM?

Hi! Can somebody tell me how to instal this rom.

I need HOW TO guide, please!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] c130pilot:
St0kes,

I know you're already aware of the bug with certain apps requiring location services, but thought this might help:

I opened up "Radar Now" and it gave me a message saying something like "network location services not available, switching to GPS". Seems that the ROM is fine when using GPS location (works great for me), but that it isn't allowing network location services to work.

Also, I've been getting occasional reboots, and I'm still working on narrowing it down. I found a lot of it was due to a bad SD card I had and replacing my card fixed it right up except for I've had two reboots occur when typing a text message in Handcent SMS using the HTC keyboard I installed. I'm going to try using Swype, which I also installed, for a couple days to see if it's just the HTC keyboard or what. Has anyone else experienced this?

Tim
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Previous ROM is Cyanogen's 1.6 Donut v2.5.1.

The method I use to flash is to boot into recovery, wipe to factory settings and then apply the update.zip on the SDCard.

Everything else seems to work fine, the fact that the sound comes back when I revert back to the previous ROM means that it's not hardware, but as no one else seems to be having this problem I'm at a loss.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] c130pilot:
Start here, my friend. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking It's a painful process (especially if you have a perfected SPL) and will require a lot of reading, several downloads and a few hours of your time most likely. Read up and follow the instructions carefully, though and you'll love this ROM.

Tim
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] c130pilot:
Are you wiping everything? I'm assuming you're running Amon_RA's 1.5.2 recovery?

If so, then copy the ROM .zip file (no need to rename it) to the root of your SD card, then boot into recovery (hold power button and home button) go to wipe, and "wipe SD", "wipe Dalvik-cache", "wipe data/factory reset". Once you've done that then select "flash zip from SD card" and select the ROM .zip file you copied on to it earlier and let it install.

Maybe this is what you've done already, but just making sure as it worked for me when coming from Cyanogen's ROM.

Let me know how it goes!

Tim
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wrek:
This is odd, everyone says this is a fast rom but it's really sluggish for me? I have my SD as a single FAT32 and I did a wipe and format of everything before installing... just seems really slow and I get a bunch of apps force closing.. ?

I hit the green button and it was 27 seconds before I could get to the dial pad and dial.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Just to confirm that's what I've done. Is there a particular apk that controls the speaker during a phone call. Maybe I could just try and install that?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
Hey there st0kes,

Care to share how you fixed orientation?

Thanks,

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] biggler:
First off I must thank you for bringing us this rom, thanks!

It's super quick but is anyone else having problems with battery life with this rom?

according to the battery stats I was down to 4% after ~3hours 40. I did have the live wallpaper running constantly and I accidentally left wireless on but i've never had my battery die that quickly before.

I've now set my wallpaper to a normal wallpaper and turned wireless off so I guess i'll see if the battery is much lower in the morning.

I just thought i'd put this out there to see if anyone else is having similar problems and if so, how they resolved it.

Thanks again!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
I cheated .. and grabbed /system/lib/hw/sensors.sapphire.so from an eclair rom with working orientation. :)

I am still interested in knowing how to build this properly myself.

Wow .. well I always have wireless and bluetooth on, I don't use live wallpapers though. How is your network signal? If your phone is having trouble finding the network it can drain the battery fast (on any rom).

Can you do me a favour and run "adb shell busybox free" and paste the results here? I'm interested if the swapfile was enabled automatically on your sdcard. I've found it does run a bit sluggish without swap enabled.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] c130pilot:
Hey St0kes,

Still waitin' on that donate link! :)

Been really enjoying this ROM. Wondering if you can help with this issue:

Been getting a few home screen re-loads, especially after using the camera but also after using other apps sometimes. My SD card is not partitioned, FYI so I don't think there's any swap or anything going on.

Tim

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] biggler:
I was in the centre of Middlesbrough all the time I had my phone out with me yesterday so I'm pretty sure the signal was fine, and i've never had signal problems around here.

I left it uncharged overnight and I dropped from 65% to 59% which is expected. I've got another day out today so I'll update with my results without live wallpaper.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
:) When I compiled android-2.1r1, it was working. I compiled again when android-2.1r2 came out and now it's not working, I guess something broke meanwhile. With android-2.1r2 I have no working Music.apk application and the camera is not working also. I still need to figure out how to add NCommander's driver into the building of the ROM... let me know if you know how to do it :D

Anyway, keep up the good work and I hope you don't mind me asking some questions from time to time, I'm also learning ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] biggler:
Today I went down from 100%->69% in roughly 7 hours, not bad at all! It was either the live wallpaper or something weird happened.

I also noticed a problem with google buzz (camera really) I made a buzz and wanted to attach a picture, when I took the picture the result seemed like a black and white mess, not resembling anything like the picture being taken.

I then tested just the normal camera, After the picture is taken, for 1second or so, before the liveview kicks back in to take the next picture, the resulting picture is shown, this also looks like a mess. However, if I view the gallery it looks fine. It's weird how immediate previews of the pics look weird but the final result doesnt? Does that make sense?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
Remember that until HTC releases the drivers for the camera, bugs are to be expected. St0kes is using NCommander reverse engineered drivers and they are still buggy :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] d_mac:
I think I might be missing something here. I've flashed your ROM and it seems to be working fine but I don't understand. I was using 1.6 and had five screens available.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] d_mac:
Thanks for your response Biggler. In my settings it says I am now using the 2.1 version of the firmware and yet my UI is like the 1.5 I had when I first got my phone. What I'm puzzled about is how do I access the improved UI this ROM is supposed to give me?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] biggler:
I wouldnt say the UI is revamped like that list does. It's slightly different, I mainly noticed it in the Settings screen but not the actual day to day home screen UI.

Also, i've just pointed out the differences between Android versions there, St0kes might have added or removed parts.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] d_mac:
Doh! just realised I had open home installed on 1.6 which is why the UI looked better.
