My take

Seems to work well, pretty quick. A few observations:

1. No wireless tether (an essential as a base app, though easy to install)

2. No compcache / swap

3. Donut skin/icons etc (one of the main reasons for 2.1 IMHO)

4. Phone seems to get pretty warm (guess it's clocked to 528mhz and not scaling?)

5. Admin, can you give me rights to post links so I can cook a rom from this?

6. Video seems to work (including mp4), though you have to play with the slider to get the video to play.

7. Not getting the reported contacts app crash, and sync SEEMS to work fine

8. Thanks for all the hard work...

FYI: I'm running the latest mytouch radio and using the Death SPL.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
On point 2 - Swap is automatically enabled if a swap partition is found on your sd card. There's no compcache though.

You need a minimum number of posts to post links, not sure how many.

Do i have to wipe? Youtube videos dont show up (only sound)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] yipcanjo:
How is the performance, in your opinion?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Rede83:
I'd love to see a 32a port of this!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] decodecoding:
Hello,

First of all, thanks to St0kes for a great work! Your ROM is so far the best I've tested in my Magic.

I like the old layout combined with the 2.1 features. Basically, I'm interested in Gmail multi-account feature so the lack of 2.1 themes or wallpapers is no issue for me.

Only things not working are:

-Vodafone Spain APN not present. Had to enter values manually.

-Youtube videos. Sound works but image is still. If you touch the progress bar, you get a new frame, but that's all.

Let's hope they find a way to make all the camera/video stuff fully work as it does in 1.6.

Keep the good work!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] androapps:
Decent

When I first booted it up and when the sync was done it seemed to fly, but I have a feeling that's why it was getting so hot. Since I've installed setcpu and now it's a little slower but stays cool and battery seems to last a lot longer.

I've started to get random reboots as I've tested throughout the day (seems to happen when installing/removing apps via abd)...

As 2.1 goes this have the most functionality (as of now) with semi working video and bluetooth. I have a feeling the next open eclair will romp it however...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xaueious:
Can we have a 32A port?

Old radio would work fine :)

Should be a great 32A 2.1 ROM if it runs so well on 32B already
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] londonzombie:
First off Stokes, thank you thank you thank you!! What a great Rom! This is the only rom to ever work with my Wifi at home (Siemens) and trust me I have tried nearly all of them!

Anyway, For those of you having having the still frame (Video) problem with youtube try this:

When you are in the video you want to watch press menu and then the "More" and choose watch in High Quality.

It worked for me, its plays brilliantly!

Thanks again Stokes!

Oh ps anychance of the 2.01 launcher then old one is well....old looking http://xdaforums.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

seems to be working ok for me apart from the problems already mentioned:

- videos don't play

- dialer crashes
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Thomas1981:
it crashed when in landscape tried to write in ebuddie and handcent sms. this happened in 1.5 BUT also in 1.4. i'm using HTC touch input
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TjerkW:
I was on a phone call two times today, and the caller crashed / stopped. The conversation was closed...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
Urrgh ... 1.5 is horribly unstable :-/

I would not use it as your daily rom... 1.4 is much better.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] thwiecz:
Performance-Problems

I changed to superD again :-( (sorry, need Videos)

The Reason: Everytime using Browser, Youtube, Jewels or other apps it took up to 20 seconds rebuilding the home screen. *brrrr*

Changing from vertical to horizontal when watching videos I got FCs.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] androapps:
I'm pretty frustrated with this rom myself, but going back to 1.6 is like trading in a lamborgini for a pinto... :(

Still want to thank st0kes for his time and effort, so tweeks and this ROM could be awesome!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mariets:
Wow ! a rom for 32B Magic motherboard with the video driver.. i going to try it ! :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] liferider:
Just a big thanks to Stokes for this one, really clean rom, very polished. I had been using Dwang's rom for a very long time and that is a very stable and sturdy rom , but this is so nice i might keep it a while.

I'm still trying to get some more roms on here and can't find youtube, but thats not biggy, I can really see this being a big hit with further updates.

I'm running the 1.4, should youtube be on here? How can i get it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fgmodelsport:
First of all thanks to all the developers who helped making this rom.

I installed the Strokes 1.5 yesterday and I love it.

It is Super fast.

Haven't got any desktop loading problems.

Even after playing Juwellust desktop loads immediately.

Thanks guys.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] liferider:
I installed the update patch for the 3d games etc.

and it slowed down the phone really bad, its very laggy, feels like an early version hero, however games are very smooth especially shoot u, very fluid.

I'll be looking to reflash and keep the patch off.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jeroen-v:
Thanks for this fantastic ROM.

Can I request FLAC support? I've read that Cyanogen has it already. That would be awesome. Thanks anyway.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mf76130:
Hi,

I'm using 1.4 and will go now on 1.5!

The only problems i have is the missing function to take videos and that timer functions are not always working! - When i set the alarm at 6:00 am its not working, even SMS Scheduler is not working at 6:00 am.

Will this ROM work with my t-mobile mytouch?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] neok44:
let me explain what you did wrong here.

1) don't quote whole posts like that

2) your in the mytouch forum. obviously it is going to work. he says right in what you quoted that this is for the mytouch 3g.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dekkyy:
Hi st0kes! Is it possible to add SENSE UI and multitouch?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
Use kingklicks eris rom in the g1 section if you want senseui.

Multitouch works in this rom already.

There are quite a few things I want to add including launcher2 but Im not doing anything further until I get my laptop back from repairs - in the next couple of weeks hopefully.

Cheers

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] leigh.chris:
St0kes, just wondered if you had got your laptop back yet and if you had planned any further updates to your rom? - cheers
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
I got a replacement laptop yesterday and already installed Ubuntu Lucid on it. Woo :)

Working on updating 1.4 in the correct way now, with launcher2 and 3d etc. I'll have an update out in the next week hopefully.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] camarriott:
youtube

I don't seem to have the youtube app... Do I have to access youtube vids from the website?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
@camarriott youtube is in 1.5, but the rom s unstable.

A quick update from me as I've not updated this for a few weeks ...

I did a few more builds this weekend but whenever I include Launcher2 it fails to boot afterwards, I've got a few ideas of how to fix it... hopefully I will get a new build out by next weekend. There is a lot of stuff I want to add into this rom but I have very little time to work on it :rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] primaxx:
Mr St0kes, I just want to tell you that this is by far the best rom I haver ever had on my Magic. Thank you very much!

(I use the 1.4, and everything is working like a charm.)

:D

Primaxx

PS! Look out for donations in the near future!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] haakuturi:
Not sure if this has been brought up or not, but I'm finding that a few applications I've purchased previously from the Android Market are just not visible using this ROM.

I'm assuming it's the ROM, because I've never had this problem before...

So far I'm missing

CameraZOOM FX

3banana

Has anybody else noticed applications not in the Market that should be? o.O

*edit*

OK so I'm a nub and didn't read this:

How do I find the Market Enabler?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] primaxx:
I'm not allowed to post links yet, but just google it. :-)

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] JeffCalton:
Very nice.

:D:Used this ROM about a month ago, last week I used one called bluemagic:confused: (theme was blue) but did not have near the speed of this, and this also has Live Wallpapers! I work for a cell phone company and just talking about phones and it being part of my daily routine (I am a techy, hardware lol :cool:) that I am using the 32b (mytouch) and finding a ROM that is this clean, has the right features, doesn't load it up with a bunch of live wallpapers, lets people get their own apps and adds the ones you can't find in the market. Bad ass bro. Looking forward to future releases, and I throw some in the tip jar when we climb out of this **** economy (first we have to get out of the war(another can of worms altogether:eek:)) but I will tip you shortly, just spend it on a good beer! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] grandpennerjoe:
VERY GOOD

I love your ROM!!!! :D

Its fast, stable, simply the best i ever used.

Little question: It only shows umts (no hsdpa). In phone settings info section at "mobile networktype" it shows umts to...

a freind has same mobile provider (02). he has hsdpa and i umts

any ideas:confused:

thanks again for your ROM
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] grandpennerjoe:
:D

donated you ;)

very good work... not much but im poor student ;D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
^^ You are

awesome

, thank you!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] grandpennerjoe:
any idea to my question above the donate message??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
Err .. I have no idea :)

I'll google it tonight while trying to build a 3d enabled kernel again. I'll let you know if I discover the meaning of life.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] grandpennerjoe:
Thank you for serving efforts :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
Firerat compiled Cyanogen's kernel source to get the 3D going. Probably looking into his source code and looking for the differences might shed some light (I would help, but I've been swamped with stuff to-do :()
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
I think firerat used CM's eclair sources, which confused me as I thought we needed a donut kernel for the hacked camera driver to work.

Last night I tried wesgarner's OE kernel sources, donut again, the kernel worked but I didn't have the special 3d devices in /dev ...

I'll try another experiment tonight with CM's sources and see how I get on. :)

Hopefully all of this work will be obsolete soon if we get an official update from tmobile or vodafone!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DanGrover:
Hi!

I've just installed this to give it a little test. It's booted up and it's all working. It's a wee bit chuggy at the moment but it's getting better. I'll report back in a day or two, not that it matters to you guys I suppose!

Thanks

Edit: By the way, it asked me right at the start what I wanted to launch something with, Home or Launcher. I chose launcher - did I choose correctly? I set it as default, too, foolishly.

Missing apps on Market?

Hi people!

First of all, I would say "thanks" to St0ke for this ROM. It's nice to have Android 2.1 on my HTC Magic...

Now, my problem:

I don't see very much applications on the Market. My problem was solved, in part, with Market Enabler, but other free-apps (like Barcode Scanner) are missing from the Market.

Is the any solution for that poblem? I installed some apps searching the APKs on Internet, but some of them don't publish the APK out the Market.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] _gbx_:
Hi St0kes,

First of all thank you for your work and your ROM.

I use 1.4 for a week, it works well and is very fast.

As it has already been said here, "you're my hero" ... better, my idol ;)

Personnaly, what lacks to me is:

- Mms (edit: solved, see h.t.t.p://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5980426)

- French auto completion with android keyboard (i do not like htc_ime)

- StreetView

Do you think the next version will contain all this ?

Thanks again
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] primaxx:
I am also running 1.4, and I have MMS, so that must have something to do with your apn-settings. (Google apn for you carrier, and your problem will most likely be solved.)

:-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Lk2:
I just realize that the ROM haven't Youtube... It's some way to install Youtube?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
Thanks for feedback ... it's always welcome :)

MMS should work, streetview doesnt work without 3D accelleration enabled, I'm working on the correct implementation 3D, but progress is slow ...

I guess the biggest problem is the missing market applications, the build fingerprint needs changing in more than one place I think, I will try to get to the bottom of it.

I seem to only have about 3 hours a week for rom development at the moment which is why I haven't released for a while.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] _gbx_:
mms

Hi primaxx,

Yes, I did it... so I removed all APN and I recreate them again with the same parameters (no input mistake, promised ;) ), then reboot... and now... it works
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] _gbx_:
I understand, I will follow updates.

MMS works for me now, see h.t.tp.://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5980426

I also had some problems when adding number to existing google contact.

Someone calls, I do not have this number in his contact card. Once the call ended, I add the number to this contact ... and the contact is duplicated instead of being updated.

I do not know if this happens every time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] haakuturi:
I did this, but the Enabler just confuses me lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kjozsa:

#1: VERY SMOOTH ROM. Came from Kings but this is great.

#2: Any possibility to get exchange calendar sync?

#3: Any possibility to get sense for this rom?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rfcvb72:
Thanks!

just wanted to say a massive thanks for this Mr Stokes, running your 1.5 on my Vodafone magic and working like a charm, undoubtably the best ROM I have tried!

the only thing missing is the 2.1 gallery, which i'm sure you have in hand for a future release!

in the meantime, there is an APK available, if you google 'android gallery apk magic 2.1' the page should be the first result sorry not allowed to link!

It seems to work fine, as long as you keep the phone in portrait! If anyone knows of one which works better, please post!

cheers!

Rob
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jodue:
really awesome rom dude!

keep up the great work!

thanks, jo

Voice search option

st0kes,

I must say I really like your work. Nice rom, stable, and fast, perfect on my MT3G! Thanks for all the hard work.

Is there any chance you add the voice search, I have tried to do so but it FCs.

Also I have noticed a bug on google maps when I put an address in and then go to navigation mode the street view pulls up and then when I turn my phone sideways it jumps to the home screen. I then have to use the pull down notification tab to get back into navigation mode and it seems to work from then on.

THANKS!

If somebody finds it useful, I would upload the APK and give a brief explanation on how to install it

What changes did you make to the code to enable 5 home screens? Let me know and I'll make it part of the build.

Don't forget Google Nav is beta :)

Rom update - 1.4.1

Not a massive release, just a few minor changes.

'Home' app is now locked in memory

Launcher now has 5 screens (from Lk2)

Fixed the layout of the PIN screen

Added the latest Market Enabler

I have been listening to the other requests in this thread, and I'm working on it when I can :)

It's my first time upgrading your ROM. Is it necessary to wipe?

Thanks for the mention :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] haakuturi:
I'm still a bit lost on using the MarketEnabler - can somebody please walk me through it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] primaxx:
Start MarketEnabler

Go to "Settings-list"

Choose for instance (by long-pressing) [us] T-Mobile (T-Mobile)

Klick on "fake this provider now"

Go to "Actual"

Click on "Save current settings"

Use back-button to quit MarketEnabler

Start Market, and you will see all apps, both free and payed

This you will have to do after every restart of your telephone.

(At least that's how I do it...)

:)

I saw on the first post that this ROM already have 3D and Youtube working, but in the new ZIP I can't see the Youtube.apk... is this normal? I can't see Wireless tethering application on ROM system/apps directory...

Is really necessary doing a wipe if I upgrade from 1.4 to 1.4.1 version?

Thanks for the new version St0kes, you are the king :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:

Best ROM i've used so far, only grumble is having to manually download ShopSavvy, Barcode Reader etc.. Will test 1.4.1 and hopefully this is now fixed!

Is this a general problem,as in do no stock ROMs use it? My Vodafone 32b has been rock solid since I installed it, mainly just texting (handcent), calling, and web browsing, with shop savvy, shazam etc fired up now and again. I'm downloading the 1.4.1 goodness right now!

it is a very nice rom, how hard would it be for multi touch support? I ask as this is one of the main reasons I like the Hero roms
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tsheeley:
I flashed this last night and tried doing a BART backup of this so I could switch back to CM for my daily use... and then play with your 2.1 later.

But BART wouldn't do it, it would complain that there wasn't any room on my card... which has about 9 gb free in the fat32 partition. Is it because yours doesn't have a2sd that BART choked on it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
OMG ... it's fast!!

I've just built a 3D enabled kernel, first successful one after several failed attempts ... The rom is pretty darn quick now, camera is broken (but is fixable), I will test over the next few days and release if it's stable! :D

Even moving between home screens is smooth now!!

With the GPU taking care of graphics now, responsiveness of other apps should also improve.

----------

@tsheeley Yeah I think BART is nandroid + backup of ext partition, I've never used it though so don't take me as gospel.

@johnw230873 the rom is already multitouch enabled, I just need to add the MT browser and maps... dolphin browser works with multitouch, it's in the market.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] haakuturi:
Awesome news - will be hanging out to try the next stable release! =D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tsheeley:
I'll play with the BART commands then in the next few days and see if I can come up with an answer for that.

I do have to say it was pretty sick seeing the Warp Speed live wallpaper on my Magic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] johnw230873:
So would you say it is quicker than your 1.5 version as that was very quick.

Becuase the multitouch doesn't work in this browser or HTC exhange is it different versions in the dream roms?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jodue:
sounds really nice! :)

i'm looking forward to your next release, please hurry up :D.

thanks again for your effort, best rom i ever tried!

Don't forget to update the wlan.ko driver too to match the new kernel, otherwise it won't work.

I can't get the latest source to compile, I think I've messed up my source files with all the tweaking before. I'm downloading the sources fresh and see if it compiles successfully.
