UPDATE: htcclay has a fix that works included in FastClean v1.2. Yay! I'm looking forward to seeing it filter back into FastTest.

**********************************************************************************************************

There is minor issue remaining. The maps in Wifi Tracker and My Tracks do not draw completely. This bug also exists in SuperD, but you do not see it in Cyanogen Mod v4.2.14.1, so it isn't the apps. You also do not see it in GMaps 4.0 on any of these ROMs, All maps are good. So it probably isn't the 10MB RAM hack either.

The same chunk in both remains "grid". Details and screenshots in this thread. Post #157.

***********************************************************************************************************

I've renamed the thread as Cal-El put it to me quite reasonably that the title I was using (which included the words "infecting like a virus") would frighten some people. I accept I was wrong in using words that could be misunderstood. Particularly as some here do not have English as their first language.

I'm sorry I caused some people confusion. I hope the new title is a better fit.

The Bug Details

This missing method bug is infecting more and more ROMs, perhaps as dev's copy each other's code.

ROMs known (by me) to be affected so far are:

FastTest (v2.4 to 2.6.1 - have not tested prior) - Verified personally and notified the dev providing logcat.

Complete Eclair v1.1 - Verified personally and notified the dev providing logcat.

Open Eclair v1.1.5 (Issue 147 New and still open) UPDATE: The bug is NOT seen in OE v1.2.1.

KingKlick AOSP2.1 v1.6.1 (post #2678)

SYMPTOM: The missing method is: android.view.ScaleGestureDetector.onTouchEvent

Can we please fix it and stop it spreading? It break apps like My Track, Wifi Tracker and CoPilot has also begun crashing but I haven't verified that one personally.

This is the error - same in all instances. It looks like Android's gesture support has been partially broken, though may just be a symptom of some other problem.

ya know I noticed something with CoPilot on Sunday Morning, just plain old wouldnt work! i was kinda pissed. I think i was using OpenEclair sunday morning

How bad is this?? Is this something that can be fixed, or our we screwed?
[G1 Android Development] Macrophage001:
If this is that bad then someone should warn the developers about this.

Although i dont use any of the Forementioned apps =/
[G1 Android Development] Chahk:
Looking at the error (specifically the mention of "com.google.android.maps.MapView.setup"), this is possibly related to OpenEclair http://code.google.com/p/openeclair/issues/detail?id=24Issue 24. It was a case of the wrong version of /system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar file being shipped with earlier OpenEclair versions that should've been resolved in 1.2.1. Try the solution from this post and see if it fixes it for you.
[G1 Android Development] Bavilo:
If they really were "developers". Whats the point in copying someone else's BAD code. If they have done it, why do you need to do it as well and clutter this world with irrelevant ****.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Just let them be, it will be moved or locked as usual if a mod thinks this is also irrelevant. When I heard virus I thought they meant a real virus was in the ROMs.
[G1 Android Development] thenameismax:
oh man i dont want a virus on my g1.....does norton make a antivirus for it? lol.

hope this code thing gets looked at tho
[G1 Android Development] garok89:
surely the "like a virus" bit should have made it apparent that it wasnt actually a virus...but it was spreading through 'direct contact' so to speak...
[G1 Android Development] Macrophage001:
The dude should really change that so as to not scare anyone lol
[G1 Android Development] rivera618:
thanks for this. i can verify that pushing this jar file fixed MyMaps Editor.

edit: also fixed My Tracks and OpenTable. Thanks again.

[G1 Android Development] nicknowsky:
Yeah the "virus" got me curious, which it isnt, i dunno if there has ever been a real virus infecting Android code yet
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
Not a single virus scanner in the world would actually be able to make heads or tails out of ANYTHING capable of being run on your phone. Scanning them with a windoze virus scanner will NOT yield ANY useful results. If it is able to detect ANY VIRUS AT ALL, you can rest assured that there is NO WAY that that virus would be able to run on your phone.
[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
Not a virus but does need to get fixed but what I can't believe is that a virus scanner app is avaliable for the android XD

I feel sorry for Jailbroken Iphones that can get viruses I usually think to my self poor person should have got an android :)
[G1 Android Development] bert269:
how do we know this is true?

OK, now I am all confused. I was on "KiNgxKxlicK AOSP 2.1 v1.6.1 and Weatherbug was working fine for me. Although other location related apps did FC right after installation, so I removed them (movie finder & my maps editor).

I followed your instructions for installing this .jar file, exactly.

I rebooted my phone and now suddenly, I get a FC:

"Error: The application Messaging (process.com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"

None of my widgets loads up and the G1 is frozen.....nice job! The moment I revert that .jar file (luckily I have learned to make a backup) everything works just fine again.

What does the dev's of these 'invected' ROMS say about this?

Who are you and how do I know you are not distributing this as an 'infected file'?
[G1 Android Development] Cal-El:
Wow OP, for someone who goes into ROM threads and cries about misrepresentation every chance you get, you sure took the cake on this misrepresentation. Please change the name of the post and stop stirring up drama. A few missing files or lines of code in no way constitute a virus. It will be fixed and these chefs are doing their best to make are phones better for free, thats FREE! :)
[G1 Android Development] linuxluver:
It behaves like a virus. It's spreading socially and the "infected" systems are broken.

The only real difference is intent. The process and outcome aren't much different to a virus.
[G1 Android Development] linuxluver:
Edited for brevity & accuracy.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
i beleive i have the fix for this
[G1 Android Development] Cal-El:
You as an obviously intelligent person know that the word "virus" will incite panic on a forum such as this. Hence the use of the word drama. I can read fine, just as I read into your intentions like a 1920's dime novel. You were trying to stir things up and get your "findings" noticed, its your pattern. I can see that, but there are junior members of this forum that will read that and inturpret this as being a "malicious code that trying to eat their phones" that is being spread by the chefs here. And that is not true. Thats all, please change the name. Thats my last comment. Have a great day sir. :)
[G1 Android Development] __McB__:
FWIW, I run king 1.6.1 and had hella bad lag with most all apps but the fix referenced earlier fixed all my lag issues. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] dzasta:
when did a simple bug become a virus? i'm sure there are tons of other "bugs" that get carried over from ROM to ROM and i dont go screaming about them...
[G1 Android Development] linuxluver:
OK. No problem. Now you put it that way.

Just kidding, good catch by the OP.
[G1 Android Development] Macrophage001:

ok but seriously guys dont turn this into a flame war. just get the help you need and End of Story.

Hi there!

I need a working ROM for my HTC Touch Pro.

I found one (hxxp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=470164) but that one was posted in 2007 so the download file is long gone from the internet! It was a ROM with a Stock market tab in FT3D.

I've read the rules and the Wiki but still I can't find what I'm looking for on this forum because of the many ROM's people have made! Don't get me wrong: I think that's great but I need help locating the right manilla that can be downloaded! Or point me in the direction were to look!

Thanks for your help! :) and greetingz from Holland

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] rahul_bhatia:
Er...

Well the latest is Manila 2.5 or sense 2.5 w/e you want to call it.

Most of the roms offer one or the other.

perrsonally i recommend energy rom... they're wonderful.

Leo version is slow but pretty

Pheonix two is strong.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] housert:
Agreed. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mww1977:
Oké! Thanks for your replay. I've read somewere that manilla 2.6 is still in beta?

I know (from the wiki) that I have a HTC "Raphael" (touch pro...duh! :D) but I see a lot of ROM's for the Diamond and pro 2 aswell! Do they all work fine on the Touch pro to? As a newbie I don't know were to look for when I'm looking for a ROM.

Can I create a ROM of my one? What need I to do that? I know my way around Paint Shop Pro but not around programming like in C++.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hilaireg:
Manila (aka SenseUI)

Newer versions of Manila may require that you use a WinMO 6.5 custom ROM as HTC released the new 2.x versions of Manila (aka Sense) on devices that sported WinMO 6.5.

Additionally, some of the recent Manila releases (ex: 2.5, 2.6) may be versions obtained from dev/test ROM source. If you're after stability or rely on your device, this may not be preferable.

Custom ROM's

There are several customs available ... some chefs even release different ROM streams. In many cases, custom ROM's will also contain recent application updates. If you're after stability or rely on your device, once again this may not be preferable.

Custom ROM's are usually specific to devices. For example, if you own a Raphael GSM device, you only flash custom ROM that are Raphael GSM specific. Flashing custom ROM's from a different device or CDMA may permanently damage your device.

Kitchen (DIY Custom ROM)

Building a custom ROM has become much simpler. Many chefs who have moved onto another mobile device will often release a final ROM as well as the kitchen they use to prepare the ROM ... this serves as a great starting point.

Additionally, there are many tutorials available on how to use kitchens floating around the forum.

Lastly, moderators typically close threads requesting "What's The Best ROM" as selecting a custom ROM is like choosing a vehicle, house, partner ... it's all about personal preference. And from past experiences, these types of threads usually get out of control pretty quick. So, to avoid having a thread that you start closed, it is best to avoid "What's The Best ROM" discussions. ;)

HTH,
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mww1977:
OH.....:(.....sorry!

Don't want to upset the moderators!

Then I have just one final question:

Is there on this forum-part a topic with a standard ROM with instruction on how to customize it? Or can I find those things in the Wiki?

I would like to contribute to theme's or even a Dutch ROM.

I only need to know/learn how to do that! Can someone give me a link to some documentation and files/programs to use?

Thanks!:o
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hilaireg:
AFAIK, there isn't a "Generic" ROM with customization tips. What most members do is download a kitchen and post any customization related question in the corresponding kitchen thread.

you can use e17 booting angstrom + illume thanks to wing linux project

but there aren't angstrom image ready to load you must compile...
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] MusikMonk:
As gp.triple pointed out, it should be possible to do. As Wing Linux uses Angstrom+Android so Angstrom+E17 shouldn't be a problem.

And pitillo on #wing-linux mentioned a couple of days ago that he was trying to build it for elf (aka Touch, another Omap850 device). If he succeded in making one, it should run as is on our devices.

Personally, I prefer having a Kernel that supports all Opal features before worrying about builds and packages. And sadely, I'm not having lots of success there :(

Anyway, check the link in my sig if you want to know more about Wing Linux.

In few words :

I have dying every time I get new SMS messages - each time I must to wait eternity to get message marked as read - it last abut 5 sec.

I use a lot of SMS, and I spend moust of my time to hold still on message three words long to mark it !

My 6 year old daughter can read all sms faster than 5 freaking sec. !!

Who invent those 5 sec.!

I search in registry, in forum, I search in googl... I search every were ( probably not so efficient ) Please help !!

Can anybody change delay time on marking messages ?

I can go "in" on every message and then it's marked, but when I get message "Ok" , "miss You" or similar there is no need to click it and read in details.

If I broke some forum rules - sorry.

Thanks for reply Petulinek.

I've downloaded and try-it ( HTC hot fix, SMS issue ) Only difference I sow, it is 3 sec. instead of 5 sec. What about free change of this value ? to 1 sec. or 11 minutes ? There must be some kind of registry entry about it or settings ( tweak ) app.

HTC hot fix doesn't do anything with "mark as read" delay in emails.

Hi,

I've used the twitter tab for a while now. However, since last week (11 feb) everytime I try to do something (update, post, upload a pic etc.) I get the following error (translated from dutch):

"Download error: the network is temporarily not availale. Try again?"

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I also tried logging off, but when I log on I get the following error: "Login error: connection error during logging in"

Now that I think of it, this was about the same time that I changed from my old provider (also 11 feb) to my new one... Mobile internet still works fine though.
[HD2 General] Starfury:
reboot the phone, does it work now?
[HD2 General] DavidC1980:
Two things to try:

1) Update your connections database

2) Switch off the proxy on your data connection.

Are you on T-Mobile UK, if so I was in the same boat and these are the two steps needed to fix the problem for me.
[HD2 General] dtechnology:
Ofcourse I've tried that several times.

I've just fixed it myself. Here's what I did (based on

this thread)

1. Update the database in settings->wireless->data connection->menu->update database

2. Apply new settings

3. Go to settings->wireless->menu->connections->proxy server and uncheck "This network uses a proxy server"

4. Reboot

I could then finally use twitter :)
[HD2 General] dtechnology:
I needed to do something like that indeed. I'm using Vodafone NL though.
[HD2 General] jamieeeee:
you have the same error that i have! i am using Hi NL. but sometimes it works, after about trying for 4,5 times i get the new tweets. i think it has something to do with the ammount of tweets it stores, when it was fresh the updating happened verry fast, after a while when it starts to build up it becomes slower and slower.. and eventually i got errors just like you.

Maybe there is a possibility to limit the ammount of tweets stored? maybe that would help..

btw i do NOT have a proxy setting enabled.

it seems to have improved a little after uninstalling wmlife.. maybe you have that too?

Cube is found on the original Rom, and the reason for custom roms is to make them better by getting rid of some features and adding others. This is why in the custom roms Cube was removed ;)

In the root of your SD card create the following folders

Notifications

Ringtones

Alarms

In these folders put your favourite MP3 files. You can now use these MP3 files as per the topic.

Notifications - Message tones and Notification tones

Ringtones - Your phone ringtones

Alarms - Your alarm mp3s

Using these folders there is no need to play the MP3 files first in Music Player.
