wow... what's wrong with it... let me get a list going see if i can make it to 7.

Issues with port_Stokes_Eclair ROM

1) Secured Apps do not show up. Which is the weirdest things because PayPal shows up but yet Barcode Scanner and a bunch of other aps don't.

2) It has no tethering whatsoever. Which really really sucks. I love music more than i love having the ability to tether on the go so the fact that it has that 3.5mm jack is the absolutly the only reason i'm using the phone.

3) Video Capturing does not work.

4) Picture Capturing is freaky. When you take a snapshot it renders this black and white almost like a nes cartridge for a preview pic. It takes the picture correct it's just you have the load picture to check it.

5) No YouTube. Dunno why he left that out.

6) Unlocking it via a tactile pattern is laggy and often messes up.

7)Bluetooth is Broken

8)Yep, does not play videos. Tested it with this video and a couple of ones i shot of my nephew with my myTouch Merlot 3g. Both videos play fine on the Merlot but on the stokes it loads the music from the MiChi Video and crashes on the other videoes. The App i used to test is called MixZing. A very nice free app from the marketplace. i uploaded the video incase other people want to test thier devices. it's encoded for the myTouch 3G

9) when you mount it in Windows for some crazy ass reason it thinks the disk is damaged and wants to fix it.

10) HTC Keyboard does not install properly on it. Which really sucks cause i love that keyboard better than the iphone keyboard

The only Saving Grace

1) Google Voice works on this rom and is the reason why i am using this rom and not the Stock Fender Rom. Sadly I have become so attached to using Google Voice for my calls that I really cannot function without it.

So technically the port_stokes_rom is saving this phone from going on ebay right now. I would get a Nexus One but paying 520$ for a phone that can't have insurance on it, and then losing it would proberly make me commit suicide.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dstauth:
Thanks for the details. I don't have google voice, so definitely sticking with stock for now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
@ Aeikozz

Not sure why I'd stay with the Stokes eclair.

I'm using the Stock Dounut rom (from the link in my signature). And The main thing Stokes fixed for me was being able to see all the apps in the market. But I went back to my rooted stock rom because I do play games, and all the hardware works on the stock rom. Though far as the market apps go ,I just copied both /data/app and /data/app-private to my SD card before reflashing back to stock and was able to get some of my purchased and free protected apps back.

When I was using Stokes the three main issues I had (you mentioned some of the extras as well as Binary)

1) No bluetooth

2) No games (seems there's a ram hack enabled)

3) Some of the tethering apps wont recognize the kernel

I think the stokes port was the only one of the list of ports that even worked halfway decent, provide you limited what you wanted to do. Just a shame the guy didn't release any details on how he ported it so others could pick up where he left off.

PS: Google Voice will work on Stock... but you have to downgrade to 0.2 in order to do so.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Aeikozz:
I've been trying to distect the actual rom. Most people put some kind of signature on there rom you can use to google them and find where it came from.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] voxluna:
That's an interesting posit. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Cyanogen started working on the Nexus One after a number of people donated the money (in a matter of days, IIRC) to buy him one.

I wonder: if we bought him a MT3G 1.2 (I just say Fender, it's a lot simpler), would he be more prone to develop it? If not him, which (capable) member is willing to get a free phone in exchange for development?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] voxluna:
There will always be more G1s and MT3Gs than the Nexus, as long as Google charges $600 AND upgrades for nothing but single lines. Unfortunately, the N1 is new, shiny, and 1GHz, so it garners an inordinate amount of attention. OTOH, I do appreciate that it merits Cyanogen working with the Eclair platform, and the implications for downstream and "trickle-down" from that effort.

As I said above, I suggest we do just that: buy a phone for one of them (that is, if we can get ahold of one now). It worked before, right?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] voxluna:
Fixing invisible copy-protected apps

This is an open question to everyone: what is it about this ROM that fixes the problem of invisible copy-protected apps -- the build.prop file?

Put another way, if I have a rooted Fender, it should be possible to do this, but how? It's aggravating as hell. I want to fix it, but with as little meddling as possible, because I'm relatively happy with the stock ROM.

It works in 0.2, and you can downgrade by installing this APK. You might also wish to 'star' the issue on the code.google.com page so it gets the attention it deserves.

This is just a waiting game. But this has taken the longest than any other device yet it becoming increasingly popular. That is what has been pissing me off. It's almost as if we have to stick to older devices or shell out the $600 for the Nexus just so we can f'ing tether!

We have 23 people so far that are expressing interest in the development of a Cyanogen ROM for MyTouch 1.2/Fender devices.

It's still considered low priority so let's show them that it's important to some of us.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] voxluna:
I starred it too. I also sent him a tweet and asked him outright if he would develop on a phone we bought for him. I don't expect a reply, but I figured, what the hell. (Actually, I don't think I've ever gotten a message back from him, though I have talked to him on IRC.)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
The only few times I received a response from Cyanogen was when I kept posting the same error back in 4.1.9 days. Hey kept asking me "What does the output of mount look like?" and I replied with the appropriate answer. By PM and by thread almost immediately. He would NEVER respond. A few days later I tried a later rom (4.1.99) and once again... no response. After three days of trial and error I had discovered that my ext partition wasn't partitioned right. Easy fix and today if I would have seen a similar post I would know that answer. An answer that he would undoubtedly know. But no response at all from him. No PM, no reply, nothing. I don't blame him because I'm sure he's very busy replying to threads and private messages and stuff but damn... no heart for the little people. Now that he has a Nexus do you honestly think that he's going to give a damn? Sorry but I'm skeptical. Very skeptical. That's why I'm asking for everyone else to pitch in to help. There has to be someone out there that can do this! Cyanogen isn't perfect, he isn't the Greek God of Android. We can not count on him and shouldn't count on him. Need I remind you that this is a community? We all need to pitch in and work together instead of waiting for the one person to give a sh!t but obviously doesn't.

Put me down allso for $20.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] voxluna:
Well, not everyone is willing to pay the piper. Regardless, I think we need to agree on a target amount. Are we buying them a Fender to develop on? That costs, what, $279 to $400 on eBay. Or, are we just paying them to do the deed, in which case, how much is that worth?

I'm perfectly willing to pitch in. I'll pledge $20 for now, since I just donated to a round of developers for other things (thanks Amon_Ra!). But it could be more, depending on which direction is chosen.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] voxluna:
After seeing the way people demand help without doing so much as a Google search, I can't imagine how low signal-to-noise is in his world. If I were him, I too would be loathe to take on another project and double the number of needy users.

Isn't that what we're doing, collaborating on this project? Haven't several people already come together to root the device?

It's Steve's choice which device to work on, and like it or not, he's galvanized by the Nexus. So, I wouldn't characterize him as 'not giving a ****', but at the same time, let me be clear: I don't expect him to work on this. Now, if I had my druthers, he'd be the one I'd want doing it... that's why I gave it a shot.

So! I believe we need to set a target for fundraising (see my previous post), then determine which developers are capable of bringing this project to fruition. Once we do, we'll have numbers in hand to approach them with this idea. Yes? [* maybe not... see my next post]
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] voxluna:
Cyanogen comments on MT3G 1.2 issue

Well, maybe I jumped the gun. Cyanogen just commented in this thread on code.google.com:

"I haven't been following the MT3G development. If kernel source is available, it's probably doable. I'd love to see someone who actually owns one of these devices help out, though."
​

So maybe we don't even need to raise money to buy a dedicated MT3G v1.2 for the developer. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the kernel in fact the only thing we need modified? To make use of the new hardware (extra RAM, 3.5mm jack, etc) and use the correct touchscreen driver. After that, it should be easy to package it up with the rest of the build and create a CyanogenMod version targeted for this phone.

Working on 2.1 for mytouch with 3.5

ok guys I have been working on this for some time and will be testing it on my mytouch w/ 3.5 jack either tonight or tomorrow.

I do have a few favors to ask PLEASE let us just call it the MyTouch LE. ok?

All the separate naming conventions for this piece of hardware are driving me NUTS.

Next...if I release this for you all to test...I MUST HAVE FEEDBACK with logcats etc...I dont want to hear "Um dude, it don't work"

Also make sure the thread that I post it to stays clean (I cant be here all the time to do it) and everyone is aware that it is ONLY FOR MyTouch LE so i dont end up with somebody calling me names cuz it dont work on the G1.

ok that's is about all.

I will post to this thread the link after I have tested this rom for at least a couple of hours...I know we are ALL anxious for this and I am working...give me just a couple of days.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] voxluna:
+1 for a proper name. That's half our battle -- everyone else thinks, "Oh, it's just a MyTouch. You already have a ROM for it."

I would call it a Fender, an obvious difference to outsiders (the hardware's the same, AFAIK), but that might sound like even more of a niche market because of the actual Fender's rarity.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Perhaps you should just target a few members to try out. (Alpha stage)

Once we provide feedback that it's working then you can release something to the public as a beta and we can go from there.

If you release something to the public you run the risk of them not posting a logcat and giving you the "um dude, it don't work" line. Plus many people that flash away with new experimental roms don't even wipe first. Some don't even do a nandroid backup! The last thing that we need is a bunch of noobs that don't even know what nandroid is to flash an experimental rom. But I really want to thank you along with St0kes and a few others that are working on this behind the scenes. Although we do not see any progress the fact that it is being worked on means a lot. We have 28 people that have starred the issue tracker and this phone is getting more popular by the day. Something will happen, eventually.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:

Perhaps it's for use with another radio that your spl does not support.

Which one did you try?

Touchscreen worked?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
Every sense UI rom requires a different radio then we have. Now, we can use diferent radios on or "LE" (im still calling it fender/1.2 because they are same hardware but different phones) But to use these different radios for testing we would have to to root, unroot, root, unroot with gold card. Its not fun, Ask cursordroid lol, he had me doing it for 3 hours.

Any sense rom you use is for 6.xxx or 3.xxx radio and we have the newest 2.23xxxx

As of now, testing wise, all that will work are 1.6 roms with no special kernel (I.E no cyan, no wes) and 2.1 roms with a bade android kernel.

If you are willing to test different radios/spls on your please feel free to go for it. As long as you know what your doing you shouldnt have a problem. I cant because I nee my phone on and working for calls from my kids babysitter or thier mother or I get *****ed out lol.

So yes, Sense roms MAY work, but you will have to re-root with goldcard, put the 2010eng SPL on, and test the different radios.

BE CAREFUL
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Well said.

I really wouldn't risk trying different radios. Stock is temporary, brick is permanent.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
My point exactly. The only reason I did it, honestly is because I wasnt aware how dangorous it was. BUt cursor and I were determined to get it working again and finaly how we came to the conclusion that stock was the best/only working combo for the stock rom.

Now, again, if this guy really wants to try, he will have to re downgrade, flash whichever radio/spl and go from there. I have no idea how th ephone will function with these 2 differences as I had no rom to test on at the time.

BUT, if you do get it, you will be our savior lol ;) But, till There is a fully working rom worth redowngrading, Im not touching mine and I suggest NO NOOBS TRY IT AT ALL. Its not our faults if you brick.

yes i have touchy working on my 2.1sense and on superD1.9.2 with original HTC kernal SPL and radio not willing to test out other radios i think i am more inclined to try tweaking a new kernal or something. i appreciate the input,it always helps to have other perspectives. i have downloaded the aosp sapphire tree for 2.1 i will see what i can do with it. my problem is i haven't coded on that level for years and after a month and a half i am just barely remebering what i am doing.

will keep trying and let yall know.

PS Crypysmoker thanks a TON for risking a brick to get root for us all.

I for one really appreciate it.

Just bought a MT3G 1.2 for my wife and myself last week and have been researching rooting/custom roms.

I wanted to thank everyone for their work so far and say that I am willing to help in any way needed. I am still a n00b, but am researching as much as I can and learning as quickly as I can... I would also be willing to throw $20 at a developer who can make some serious headway into these issues. The biggest problem that I have with my phone now is no tethering and I'm forced to use Google Voice 0.2 so I would hope to help get these issues resolved.

Can anyone suggest a good place to read up? I have been looking through the XDA Developer Wiki and theunlockr.com but they seem to be a little outdated (the XDA Developer Wiki doesn't even mention the MT3G 1.2 :confused:) and a little too n00b friendly. Any help would be appreciated!

So... I've defined a proper APN with proxy.

Browser is the only program that I can use with this connection (only page view, no download). All the rest application that need an internet connection simply doesn't work.. nothing. Even the download from the browser doesn't work.

I've tried with another APN that's not using a proxy and works. Also with WiFi is ok.

So, my question is: it is posible to enable http proxy in ALL programs? I had no problem on Symbian or Windows Mobile..
