With the release of the ipad it just reminded my why I hate mobile broadband so much. I can simply explain it like this. At home i pay (isp) a set amount based on the speed they offer me, then I can connect any and every device i want to MY internet connection. If mobile broadband was even remotly like this I would be all for it.However, they force you to pay (alot) per device and tell you what is and isnt allowed with that device. Ex: $30 bucks for internet on phone, $50 bucks for internet on laptop through mobile modem, now $30 for intetnet through (insert tablet/media device here). Not to mention if i didnt have a 3 year old phone plan my internet for my phone would be twice as much; that right there is alreay $110. (It is a little less bad with a device like the Mifi) but holy crap for $60 at home i have roughly 9 computers on the internet. (we'll say the speed difference is made up for by the convenience of mobility) So is anybody in agreement with me, am i a stupid selfish consumer or should we all boycott att/verizon/sprint/tmobile until they offer about 60-70 buck mobile broadband plan that i can use on every device i purchase that has a mobile broadband modem.

Hello, I was wondering if there was a sort of visual java programming ide, or pluggin for eclipse perhaps. Something along the lines of how visual basic is set up, where you drag a text box, or drag a button rather than having to straight code it all. Is there anything like that out there that would work with android?
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] tr1st4n:
Something like droid draw? http://www.droiddraw.org/

Eclipse is just like visual studio, you just don't have event generators when you double click on stuff and the included XML designer is slightly buggy. good luck.
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] el_bhm:
ADT pluging has drag and drop capabilities but I stay away from it. Too many screens to support and do it properly via drag and drop.

Straight up java wise I am pretty sure one of the frameworks, either Swing or AWT, had a drag and drop UI.

IDEA 12 has a nice UI designer.

[Your sig doesn't look like valid Java to me :D]
[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] javabiker:
Eclipse allows layouts to be developed by drag and drop, which helps in prototyping. Final touches best use hand coding, obviously.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BlueLux:
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me where to find the opera6.ini file on the HD2 (for the built-in Opera 9.7). I have been messing around with opera:config, and I would just like to delete this file, so I can get back the default settings by letting HD2 generate a new one afterwards.

I tried finding the file with Total Commander, but no luck. Is it called something else in the HD2? Thanks in advance.

Nice work fella, couple of questions, you say its 2.1 so does it have the new n1 launcher, new gallery, live wallpapers etc?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
None of those things yet mate, I'm still in early stages and taking baby steps. ;)

I saw hero_over had ported the n1 launcher to the Magic, it didn't look usable though.

I will have a look at live wallpapers though, but I'm not sure if the Magic hardware is capable or if they will just slow things down too much.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] looktall:
sounds good.

does this have full exchange sync? (mail, contacts and calendar)

does it matter what engineering SPL is installed?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TjerkW:
Works like a charm! Very fast!

However some hardware does not work

- Orientation does not change

- Camera does not work ( looks funny that checkerboard ;-) )

Really want live backgrounds and the new nexus stuff!!!

Keep up the good work. (just ditched cyanogen ;-) )
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
Exchange sync for mail and contacts only, Android does not natively support Exchange calendar sync yet.

Not sure about your spl question. I'm using Haykuro's spl.

I know about the camera, there is a driver which I'll put in the next release.. Didn't know about orientation though, I'll check into that!

First of all good job! This is the first eclair ROM running decently enough to be worth keeping.

Thanks,

Maps and Music bugs are fixed, download link in the original post.

Probably won't get much time to work on this for a few days now. Bluetooth & camera are the next things to get working.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shohid1234:
Ill wait to try when the camera is working, hopefully by then they graphics drivers etc will be released too. Its great to have a 2.1 rom only for 32B, having a rom taylored to our device rather than the G1 should hopefully result in a better rom.

BTW, have you seen openandroid on the G1 forum? how about collaborating with other sapphire 32b devs to get produce a sick rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tebbs2009:
Great Rom!!!

Can i just say great start to a rom, i was shocked how quick it was, and we re-download the newest rom :) will this have multi touch implemented?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
Thanks for the feedback. Multitouch is supported in this rom, you can download Dolphin Browser from the market if you want a multitouch browser with pinch to zoom.

I would be happy to collaborate to make a 32b rom. I'm frustrated that all 32b roms use apps2sd (in case you hadn't noticed that already) ... Personally I would like to see more 32b roms that are aimed at getting the most out of the HTC Magic hardware, rather than being Magic/G1 compatible.

Only thing is I am a bit of a newbie dev and I'm learning all of this as I go along. Not sure if I could offer that much in a collaboration, although it would be helpful for me to learn from others.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] essex_chris:
As a new user of the Vodafone UK HTC Magic i'd also love to get my unit upgraded to 2.1 with multitouch support. It's a cracking piece of kit and having been an iPhone 2G user i decided on the Magic due to it's hardware capability for multitouch.

Feel i may have made a mistake in updating from the initial 1.5 software to a recent 1.6 update.

Is this likely to have crippled me from being able to upgrade and root my phone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
I've got the camera working using Ncommander's camera driver source code. Will update my rom in due course (hopefully this weekend).

essex_chris: might be best if you start a new thread for this in the Q and A section. But basically you should be ok, the perfected spl is still rootable by various methods

Rooting

In reply to essex chris i just wanted to let you know i only recently like two weeks ago rooted my phone on a uk voda HTC Magic 1.6 and using the cyanogen method rooted my phone like a breeze and have been using various roms since
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TjerkW:
Okay i used this rom for one week now. And i must say: it is the fasted rom i've ever had on my HTC Magic! Very good work, will update to the newest version today.

However some things dont work properly:

- Cant get GPS fix in google maps, does the gps sensor work?

- Playing video works, but i have artifacts on my screen. There are black lines, and sometimes the screen is completely black. So i hear the video sound but cant see the video properly.

- OpenGL games run very slow, is the openGL stack somehow very slow?

I will check if these things are fixed in your new version.

B.t.w i am a developer myself and doing android development, however i would also like to get into rom building. So maybe i can help there? I dont have a lot of time because of my fulltime job.

Anyway, keep up the good work! Thanks a lot!

Sorry mate, I can't think of any clever suggestions :confused:

Have you tried more than one BT device, just to eliminate your device being the problem? Your radio version is the same as mine and should be fine. I use A2DP every day and don't get disconnects (Nokia BH-503 headphones), I've also tested on Motorola HT-820's and they worked ok too.

In case anyone wants to try the JIT enabled Dalvik VM:

Black Status Bar

This is my first attempt at this. Took me several hours and kept me up until 4am, but hey, at least I got to watch some quality late-night infomercials. I only changed the status bar to black and the fonts to white, but didn't change the color of the pull down menu from stock.

Unzip and push both files to /system/framework/

Enjoy.

1.4.1 with JIT enabled Dalvik VM is noticeably faster on my Google ION. Using BenchmarkPi, I got the following results:

Average time to calculate Pi on v1.4: 12.9 seconds

Average time to calculate Pi on v1.4.1: 9.6 seconds

That's a nice improvement! Thanks for all of your work, st0kes. I've yet to experience any instability with JIT enabled, so far so good.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TjerkW:
I have 1.4 installed after a wipe. Though android market is working fine i still do not see all the apps. In other words: there are still apps missing.

I do not now how to test opengl reliable. Cant you 'just' use the old driver for 1.6 ? I think there are not a lot of changes to opengl in 2.1 are there?

Themeing

Has anyone done any theming with this build? I'm reading through the themeing forums and alot of them install extra apks and such to achieve their look.

I was hoping I could download a zip for metamorph and that would be it...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sutiban:
Wiped everything clean and installed 1.4. Ran beautifully. Everything that I needed worked great. Tried out 1.4.1 after a full wipe and now my headset adapter icon doesn't pop up at the top anymore and I can't hear anything through my headphones.

logcat output:

V/HeadsetObserver( 97): Headset UEVENT: {SUBSYSTEM=switch, SWITCH_STATE=1, DEVPATH=/devices/virtual/switch/h2w, SEQNUM=733, ACTION=change, SWITCH_NAME=Headset}

I/ActivityManager( 97): Start proc com.android.music for broadcast com.android.music/.MediaButtonIntentReceiver: pid=516 uid=10016 gids={3003, 1015}

As you can see it does detect that the headset is there, but doesn't show the icon or play music through it...

Any ideas?

is there any chance of a 32A port? I'm positive that A2SD is what's slowing down all the other Eclair ports on my phone :S
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sch80128:
I just loaded this ROM and I love how fast it is...but market is not working correctly for me.

I am not sure why but several aps that I had before that I know worked on other ROMs I don't see in the market. I can't even get a bar code scanner from the market :confused:

Any advice. I'm a total noob when it comes to all of this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
@dferreira thanks for the setup wizard tip.

@sutiban I tested and get the same thing, no headset icon in the notification area. To be honest I don't think 1.4.1 will become an official release. I have a few stability issues that I think are releated to the JIT enabled Dalvik VM.

@unfnknblvbl I guess I could look at a 32A port. I think you just need a different kernel so it should be straightworward.

@sch80128 I still have a problem with some paid apps not appearing in the market. Use Market Enabler to workaround this until I have it fixed: http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/

@TjerkW It's not that easy to just include drivers from donut in eclair, I would have to merge parts of the donut AOSP code into local eclair code, god knows what else would break.

I've been having major laptop issues which have halted development this week, I've narrowed it down to my system board being faulty. It locks up or reboots when the laptop is moved or picked up which is making any work impossible, my only hope is recoving my build environment and moving it somewhere else. :eek:

@c130pilot I'm trying out your black bar mod now. Nice work, could you make it into a metamorph? :)

Shall I make the black notification bar the default in the next build?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TjerkW:
Please keep this rom clean and slim! do not add themes or other styling rubbish as a black notification bar... i really liked this rom to be so clean and elegant..

At least that's my opinion.

I need to agree. It's better to have all problems sorted out before playing with customization. We might reach a point where we are no longer sure if the problems are from customizations or from fixes...

Rubbish? *sniff* *sniff* :( ... and that was so much work! :D

I personally like the look of the black bar better than the stock bar (obviously, I suppose since I built it!). It seems to be the most requested feature among all ROMs as far as themes updates go. However, it's not hard to push a couple files to the phone for those that want it. I'll see what I can find out about making it a Metamorph theme.

If you add the 10MB ram hack, you break bluetooth + 3D acceleration (meaning that you can't test if 3D is working properly). Besides, this is a ROM for MT3G, there's no need for an extra 10MB I think :)

Android 2.1 for Magic

Hi,

Great ROM. It works fast, It works in Vodafone Spain with some faults:

- MMS do not work.

- APN is not included

- OpenGL driver not included.

- Market: Problems with some apps but OK in general.

And in spanish...

Y en español para la gente que este buscando una ROM para la Magic de Vodafone. Esta ROM se trata de un Port de la versión 2.1 de android. En mi opinión es magnifica, fluida, rapida, sin problemas de formateo de sd ni particionados.

Algunos detalles no funcionan, a saber:

- No tiene los APN de españa, por lo que toca confiurarlos a mano

- No funciona MMS, he introducido el APN de mms pero nada.

- El driver OpenGL no va fino (o no va no lo se)

- Market: Algunas aplicaciones como goggles no aparecen el Market, pero en general aparecen casi todas.

- El teclado se vuelve un poco loco o no reconoce el castellano, para hacer un workarround meter el de HT_ime.apk lo encontrareis en cualquier búsqueda google.

El apn de vodafone, para el que no lo tenga a mano es:

<apn carrier="Vodafone ES"

mcc="214"

mnc="01"

apn="airtelwap.es"

user="wap@wap"

password="wap125"

server=""

mmsc="null"

type="default"

/>

Lo dicho, es estupenda, pero obviamente nuestra pobre Magic no es un nexus one.

Saludos!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wrek:
Any way I can get an APK that will reinstall the Facebook sync capabilities? I removed the Facebook app then noticed it removed the sync option under accounts.. when I reinstalled Facebook from the market it restored the sync option but when I click on it, it just returns to the accounts screen. It won't let me add it as an account to sync.

Instead of syncing all I was just going to sync the contacts I have.

Does this rom include the nexus launcher? If it does I would switch from OpenEclair since this rom has great reviews.
