[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] st0kes:
Working video in eclair roms relies on GPU support in the kernel and certain library files to be installed on the phone in /system/lib.

In an adb shell (or better terminal emulator, if you like) if you do "ls -l /dev" and you can see the msm_hw3dc and msm_hw3dm devices, then you just need the libs (these devices are there by default if you use cyanogen's latest eclair sources, or the latest from android.git.kernel.org - I have dferreria to thank for that tip).

If you don't have those 3d devices then you're out of luck I'm afraid, until we get the fender kernel source from htc or unless the 2.6.32 kernel that was just released works with the fender touchscreen, I will build you a kernel using the stock fender .config and 2.6.32 sources and upload it here for you guys to test ... best not get your hopes up though eh :)

Htc have been badgered enough times to release the kernel source, I guess they will do so in their own time.

By the way, 3d in eclair is still pretty unstable though in my rom, in open eclair it causes a memory leak, cannons complete eclair also has stability issues with the 3d graphics patch. Gallery 3d and youtube work but my 1.5 rom and the 1.5.1 I've been working on are no good for daily use. I'm just adding this to let you know you're not missing out on much!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jeffakajeff:
It works!

I have stokes eclair running on my Mytouch "Le" "1.2" or whatever you wanna call it. Now to play around for a few days.

I had 0 errors installing, and my market and contacts are groovy. Thanks!

- Live wallpaper slows it down quite a bit. Been a few hours now, no crashes, even got Google voice up and going.

- Miss my Swype though! I was getting used to that!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MassiveAttack:
Swype

Is it not that easy to copy Swype over? It's one of the things I also enjoy about my new Mytouch 1.2 LE "black fender"...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Aeikozz:
Swipe is nicee...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jeffakajeff:
And I got swype, nice!

You also didnt notice the huge worthless tagline the XDA app leaves on posts lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jeffakajeff:
No I did not lol, that is lame. ha, oh well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Aeikozz:
lol just go into the settings of the app and disable the sig.

that signature is kinda lame though they could give you the option to use your own sig
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jeffakajeff:
But then people won't know how cool I am ;)

I just heard that Google/Android Is making a TV.

- Update, Day two of using the stokes eclair, and I love it. (0 crashes)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zmattmanz:
Is there anything wrong with the Stokes rom? Am I making this or are 3D and video not working? I'm so stick of this stock 1.2
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jeffakajeff:
Video Not working :(

3d I have not tested, but I do not think so ;(

Give it time, these guys are smart :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MassiveAttack:
For me, the lack of bluetooth is what's killing it. I'd love to give it a shot, but I like my headset very much...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
Its the best so far. Battery dies quick.. Blutooth and wifi have problems. There is no video for youtube and No 3d drivers.

So if you just need a pretty phone and UI with regular headphones and 3g yoru fine. There are some awesome new Live wallpapers on the market

I just missed my swype to much, and cant get it to work on any 2.1.. so I went back to themed stock
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jeffakajeff:
I got swype to work on this rom, just googled it and installed it from my sd
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shawn1224:
- Wifi works, you just need to push the ko lan file.

- Battery life is generous, at least more so than some other android devices.

- Swype works, matter of fact I'm using right now as I type this post.

Aside from video, bluetooth, camcorder and 3D games, I would say it's pretty manageable.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Just heard back from Wes regarding the HTC drivers release issues.

He stated:

So we might have a light at the end of the tunnel.

Someone is also sending him their MyTouch LE so that it'll make it easier for him. Hopefully we'll get something soon.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] C0dy:
At least we have a timeframe now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jeffakajeff:
very nice!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
lol No.. someone (me) is trying to get $200 together to get one for him lol. I told him if I could afford it Id grab it while I had the chance cause a friend of mine has a brand new one he doesnt want. But whats better is,.... We are "supposed" to have our offcial OTA update well before 60 days. so they are just screwing around.... ****ers lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
I'm still skeptical in the 2.1 update in less than 60 days.

I refuse to believe a time frame from T-Mobile because they are NEVER accurate with anything. NEVER! But they've been close... only about three months off when they were talking about 3G where I lived. It was in writing and everything. They said September but it didn't reach until after New Year. :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
Thats sux. Oh well. I see someone else is sending Wes a fender tomorrow so we'll see what he gets out of it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wpbcubsfan:
Actually, look at his twitter page: RT @MojoDesertAngel: @wesgarner I have the Fender I'll email the FedEx tracking# 2mrw

So, yes someone IS sending him one. Hopefully he'll be able to figure out the drivers.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] voxluna:
I'm doubtful about the release date, too. However, if/when 2.x comes out for Fender/LE devices, we could still use Wes' expertise and adjustments -- so I don't look at it as a one-time shot.

Unfortunately, I think outsiders who don't own this phone don't understand that

it really is that much different from the previous hardware,

it runs a lot faster/smoother because of all this memory, and

with 50 apps I

still

have 1/2 the internal storage left... without Apps2SD.

Ergo, it really should be worth the time to develop a ROM for this phone. But it seems that I literally can't pay someone to do that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alan090:
oh we understand here in the sapphire thread

as you can see we benefit from the extra memory which makes this phone so much better than the 32b counterparts :) no swap compcache or apps2sd needed ever@!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Aeikozz:
even if we get 2.1 ota we're still going to need to hack it so we can get tethering to work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] harpreet1988:
apps2sd might be needed by some of those people who have 150+ apps installed onto their phones.

I only have like 20 apps (on my g1) and still have half of the internal memory left.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alan090:
honestly those people probaly dont even use most of those

if i get more than 60 it feels cluttered with stuff I dont use
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] harpreet1988:
I agree. I only use about 10 out of the 20 apps I have installed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
I agree. On the G1 APsd is needed badly if you have more then 20 apps +the gaps.

On this phone, I have 56 apps installed, of course I dont use them all lol, and Im using the Stokes eclair rom, and I have 211Mb left. There is also the new touch screen dont forget, because I know playing with the old Mt3g and my fender, I can tell the difference.

Everyone search Stokes 1.41 eclair port for this and use it for now. Wifi can be fixed, not sure about BT... but it runs just as well as it does on the Nexus. LWP=no lag
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] heavensblade23:
I wrote HTC asking about sources and got back the following reply:

Nothing we really haven't heard before.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Aeikozz:
kernel should have been avaliable the day it was released for retail. here it is close to 3 months since this model has been avaliable and we still don't have it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] C0dy:
What this guy said.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Aeikozz:
just out of pure curiosity aren't other phones that run android supposed to have their kernels public too? is at&t's blackflip kernel available to the public yet?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
The only difference between this and say the HTC branded Magics, is that the hardware is specifically made for T-Mobile.

I'll bet you its pressure from T-Mobile to keep that out of public.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GiixxeerR:
"a few errors when rooted"

Maybe its just me but I have noticed a few errors when rooted:

-sometimes calls dont go threw

-sometimes data connection doesnt seem to be working even though it does read data in and out

-sometimes i get htc music fc on selecting a solo song

-sometimes calls not coming in

this did not happen when unrooted, but after root and flashing stock fender, errors just kept coming up.

"not all the time but some times (once out of the week)"

I have tried re-rooting and re-flashing but at times I keep getting these errors.

Well, its no biggie but just wondering if i am the only one.

can anyone help??

so i got HTCCLAY CSDI Xperia Edition port to boot on my 1.2 ... but running into some issues... have no reception( wont recognize network), and wifi will start but cant scan.. so far those are the only issues.... here is the link to it.. http://www.4shared.com/file/IgOnuMzH/XpediaMT3GLEtest2.html i hope someone can get this working since im no dev and dont know enough to get it working.. its already signed and ready to flash.. so can someone help??

p.s. i got it to boot by using the fender stock bootimg...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
Niiiice. Ive been trying to mess with some roms, but I cant ever get them to sign properly with the auto sign tool for windows. Ill get some people to mess with this as I will.

Are you using windows and signing? if so wha are you using? I basicly want to take every rom with a base kernel (not a wes, open eclair because it doesnt mesh well) and slap the fender boot img in and see how far it gets. I was going to do some experimenting with radios and spls again, but its just to iffy on me screwing it up... even though I did it a billion times to this phone already lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
I used windows... and but I don't remeber who's method I used to setup the signing tool.. ill see if I can find it or remeber...

We should hopefully see traction on this soon, someone has loaned a phone to WesGarner for testing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shawn1224:
This looks so promising, it even has the Behold II cubethingamajiggy

Love the floating images gallery.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
Its ok.. tested and its the radio for the fender that wont get a signal. This rom is for the 3.xxxxxx radio. Good try though, its such a pain in the ass to get alot of roms just to boot in this radio.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] harpreet1988:
what ROM are you using?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shawn1224:
I tried pushing the wlan file but wifi still doesn't work
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
yea i have already tried that too.. i was trying to figure out what determines the radio needed for a rom.. but the devs ive asked all said the same times..."many things" i guess theres no chance on that rom... but i really liked the launcher... hope someone can atleast get it going on a stock themed rom..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anomalous3:
Kolohe's newest superEclair works with the stock boot.img. Granted it is a bit sluggish, but speeds up to almost acceptable in many ways. For instance, the UI isn't very responsive (probably because of the stock kernel), but things launch really quick when they launch at all. Shouldn't all the drivers be hiding somewhere in the /dev/ section btw?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
Drivers havent been released yet.. Otherwise it comes down to reverse enginiering which isnt really that easy.

I was going to try super ecliar but couldnt get it to sign. By sluggish do you mean. Eclair slow or like Hero 6 months ago slow?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jeffakajeff:
did WesGarner get the phone? Just wondering if he was able to make any progress? I myself feel very humbled now, It is really hard to do anything without a source code. I dislike file comparing. bleh.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anomalous3:
Been playing around with the newer Kolohe ROM w/ the LE boot.img on my MyTouch LE/1.2 (worked fine with the boot.img, didn't work when I repacked it with the Kolohe RAMdisk), and ran some benchmarks. In order for the LE kernel to even work with Eclairs, there's got to be some newer code in it. With JIT enabled, benchmarks are actually on par with 32B devices, in many ways it's faster than my 32B device. 2D graphics are the only thing that bench slow, about 1/3 the speed of a 32B device (20fps vs 60fps on fps2D). Strangely enough, it's not all 2D rendering that's slow. Scrolling up and down in settings, for instance, is very smooth.

I'm thinking we might not need the kernel source to make a decent port, we might just need to muck about with the libraries and the framework (I say that like it's easy when I know full well that it's not).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] heavensblade23:
Yeah, he got it. Now we just wait.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Aeikozz:
lol... we wait. Sounds like we got cancer or something and we're waiting for a cure or at least a vaccine.

Wireless Tethering

I just found that Barnacle wireless tether actually works with nothing but root. Just tested and it works fine on mytouch 1.2
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zmattmanz:
+1 I swear I tried Barnacle about 2 weeks ago and it would not work but I loaded it up yesterday and it seemed to work fine. I'm not sure if it was updated or what since the last time I tried it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:

kingkick eclair... kinda slow and wifi wont work..

any one else having trouble with wifi??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mayormullet:
well this is promising - tried enomther's donut, seemed to work fine in my very limited testing. gonna try Super D next.

edit: Super D not working out so well - boots, touchscreen works, but doesn't seem to jive well with the radio - no data connection whatsoever, and the animated android screen at startup is a big empty white box :)

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SDRaver:
same here..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
I can confirm that Wifi Does not work under Stokes Eclair, claims "Unable to start Wi-Fi" when trying to turn it on.

Bluetooth just has "Turning on..." forever when I try to click it on.

So, no Wifi and no Bluetooth.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
The included wired tethering might not work as it warned me I had an unsupported kernel.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
Games like Radiant and Totemo are pretty slow on Stoke Eclair
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
The SuperD roms don't seem to have any 3G/Edge connectivity nor Wifi
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
Well that was fun, I reverted back to my original nandroid backup (ie: stock rooted donut) until all the hardware is taken care of, and 3D games work as they did originally.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] AngioNicholai:
I'm not continuing these roms, ill be working on sense2.1 and stock eclair no others that interest me. these are all experimental just for you all to play with.....

thanks for hard work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tepic:
To get WiFi working in Stokes Eclair, download this wlan.ko file and do 'adb push wlan.ko system/lib/modules'.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Great job! It's about time!

But is it too much to ask for Cyanogen Roms?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
Any theory on why some of the games are incredibly slow on Stokes?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bettasplash:
Nice work. But had to flash back since there is no bluetooth and no LED or lights on the keys. Hope someone can get a good working Enclair rom. Thanks again for your work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tepic:
No. What games are you talking about?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] c-phresh:
cyanogen port would be awesome lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
are they all games or jus 3d games?? might have the ram hack...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
Radiant, Totemo to name a couple, significantly slower than my stock dounut, takes several seconds just to tap the menus.

Was Stokes known to use the ram hack, if so is it possible to patch the ported rom not to take memory from the graphics?

Cuz between that and getting wifi back (thanks tepic) , I can actually live without the bluetooth on the experimental rom :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SDRaver:
im trying to do this but dont really know how.

im in fastboot usb

and in cmd

i dont know what to write
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
You don't do it in fastboot, you can do the push while your phone is operating normally then just do adb reboot.

Basically

1) Plug your phone into the USB Port

2) At terminal/cmd type 'adb remount'

3) Then type 'adb push wlan.ko system/lib/modules'

4) Then type 'adb reboot'

after that wifi should work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SDRaver:
whos tha man??

YOU tha man!!

thanks bro, your the best.

i also can live with out BT..

but, like u said.. if we get it patched to not have the ram hack it will run way better..

maybe?? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=607443

K just put stokes on the mytouch 3g 1.2 or LE lol..

notice things seem to be a bit slower..

also like the fact that i didn't have to sign in to google seems all my settings from the stock rom were still there.

i've got 3g, 2g, i'm able to make phone calls

although everytime it restarts i get this error crash com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly

just flashed the wifi thing.

So far Weird thing is every other restart i either have gsm access or no gsm access

weird thing also is i just got hit with a text message from somebody i don't know..

i'll keep this on my phone for the next 24hours and give ya'll an update on how it responds
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
You realize the op isn't gona do anything bout it, right? :P but at best it would be to inform others using it.

And yes I do get some crashes on restarts but after that usually ok, only two issues I have is bluetooth not working and there is possibly the 10MB ram hack applied.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Aeikozz:
i would never expect anybody to immediately do anything about any type of problem.

i re post data simply for fyi purposes. i'm pretty sure there are more people who have rooted their phones and wait for a bunch of people to test it before flashing.

Every "Magic 32A" rom I've come accross has never had the touchscreen working, nor wifi/bt. So you would most likely be stuck at the initial startup screen without touch capability.
