[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
There's no problem running it on old radio except for the smaller system partition which can be worked around. And I don't think I've ever seen anyone saying it can't be done - did somebody really say that? I think there never was any real reason to say that.

The ROM is still moving forward, even if it doesn't seem like it is. We're now working on it with movikun together and hopefully we'll fix most of the issues. I've been convinced by him to switch to WG kernel source, so now we're running it on that and it seems maybe a tiny bit more responsive without any additional optimizations. The shutdown problem has been fixed. The blackscreen issue is still present, though - I thought I fixed it, but the fix didn't work (movikun suffers from the issue as well, so we can at least test it somehow). And there's a fair chance of fixing camera and bluetooth as well.

We'll certainly release some update soon, even if it's only for the shutdown fix (but hopefully with more fixes).

Anyway, he's asked me to post a workaround for the blackscreen issue - just install the ROM without any SIM card inserted, complete the startup wizard (which should now work properly) and after the initial setup turn off the phone, insert the SIM card and start it again - you should have the ROM working fine now. It's an ugly workaround, but it should work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magician32A:
Dang, sounds like you are progressing quite well! Good to hear! Hm dont remember where I read that, what are the major differences between old and new radio?

Yea I figured out that workaround several days ago, had a good write up about it in my big post from monday evening I think it was. Too bad you guys didn't mention it sooner or maybe you didnt figure it out until recently either.. Would have saved some time :P

I also mentioned an issue with adding cities in that post. I cant seem to add a new city for weather info and such. Any clue about this?

Thanks for your hard work!

PS. If ya need help just say so, I can code and I know my linux. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eitai2001:
Hi There.

Just some further feedback from me ... once again, not sure if it's my phone or in general (other people will need to test to double check), but if I go to the contacts, and edit a contact and attach a photo to the contact. The first contact I edit works perfectly. But then if I try attach a photo to another contact ... it shows the loading thing, then instead of going back to the contact after attaching the image, it goes back to the list of contacts and the contacts freezes. I then have to press the home button and use a task killer to close it. Then if I try save photos again, it does the same thing (I mean for images saved on the phone). So I have to restart the phone, and then it works again for the first contact I edit and then the same story.

Your ROM is my new favourite ROM ... runs smoother than my original 1.5 on the phone, even with the bugs it has for now ... which I can't wait to be fixed :) ... I'm pretty sure you can upgrade it to a 1.0 status ;)

Regards

Itai
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Just a quick heads-up to those of you who have the black screen problem - you will not be able to use 3G or MMS. Don't try to set up your APNs/enable WCDMA - this will crash setupwizard, it won't kill your phone tho :). No 3G or MMS until we get this bug squashed.

Tommorow is dev day :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
Yeah, I know why that happens and this one's definitely on me. Sorry. Another fix for the update, I guess...sigh.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ficho-x:
(sorry for my english)

Try to install a program like apnitaliani (you can find .apk on the web), launch it, and choose a random setting; once you did it you can enter apns menu and set your favorite.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
This isn't a problem with APNs missing - they're there. It's just that wcdma can't be turned on.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ficho-x:
Try to reboot once or twice. WCDMA works correct for me, but i had to install apnitaliani first.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magician32A:
3G and MMS works for me and I aint using that apnitalia fix either. What got me to think that the operator picker exception was the cause for blackscreen was that I had only GSM reception working. Thats why a I tried booting without SIM after flashing ROM. If I remember correctly choosing WCDMA in the settings made it FC the first time but after that it worked and one could change without FCs after that but apn settings still FC:ed.

Another issue I have is with the browser. After a while it forgets the windows I had open and it opens the first window I had. Not sure if something triggers this, like using some widgets or apps, or if its just over time and lack of memory so it throws it away? Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Kargi:
Great ROM, CONFIRMATION 3g working after couple reboot on VIP Serbia ...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
Sorry it took so long, it has been quite a bumpy ride because we wanted to optimize the ROM as much as possible before the next release (and had to resort to using parts of Villain ROM for now in the end :/ ). Don't get alarmed by the date, BTW - it's no April Fools :)

If anyone can help me with my own deodexing of the Legend WWE RUU, PLEASE, contact me, any help would be much appreciated (and credited, of course). I've been on it for about three days now and it still fails when booting the ROM, even though it seems like the deodexing went fine.

Also, sorry for the necessity of the full wipe need on this release, but I think it's the safest way after so many changes (even though most of them are "under the hood").

And last but not least, sorry for the confusing change of the ROM name, but I think it's for the best in the long run.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxxur:
anything changed from the previous version? The bluetooth, camcorder, USB mass storage, autobacklight are still the same ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
See the changelog. We're working on the things you mention, but it's not ready just yet. No ETA, sorry. Well, except for the autobacklight - there's nothing to fix, autobacklight can never work on 32A.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eitai2001:
Hi. I tried to use my GPS the other day, and the phone instantly says it's picked up a signal, which usually wasn't the case and the GPS software (Which used to work) just says searching for satellites ... not sure if it is a bug, or just me. Will try 0.3 and then let you know.

By the way ... what is autobacklight? Is that like a proximity sensor for when you are on the phone?

Regards

Itai
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
I don't really understand where the problem is. From my experience, the aGPS systems work better on 2.x than before so there's a quicker and more accurate "fix" available ie. in Google Maps. Some apps have problems with getting GPS fix on newer Android OS versions, but that's more their fault than the ROM's/OS'. For example Ndrive navigation is known to have some issues with that. What GPS software are you reffering to?

The automatic change of backlight intensity according to lighting conditions. Hero and newer phones do have the sensor for that, Magic does not.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eitai2001:
Lol ... I was using Ndrive :P ... so that explains it. Any idea what other GPS app I can use with predownloaded maps (Google Maps I can't predownload, so it's an issue) ... but I need SA Maps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rommark:
i've openeclair 1.2.2 and just now tried üpdate means without wiple...its now booting...lets see how it will work :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magician32A:
Good to see you guys are still at it despite all this drama going on.. Will try out v.3 as soon as I get some time in a day or two. Was gonna post that you guys should up the version number to something like .8 after fixing blackscreen issue and other minor things already mentioned by me or others since the ROM has been running *really* good but you two already beat me to it by releasing v.3 :p

Keep up the good work!

PS. No one has any browser issues that I mentioned in an earlier post?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxxur:
sorry, i was confusing autobacklight with the normal keyboard backlight ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
Yeah, well the delay was all me, but we never gave up and don't intend to, especially now when movikun can help with all those weird kernel things that are beyond my knowledge. Actually I was working harder then ever on this ROM the past few days (and harder than I should've, cause now I'm behind on my actual work), it's just that it didn't have much results in the end except of wasting a lot of time (and gaining some knowledge in the process) :(

By the browser problems you mean this?

I don't use the default browser much, I'm an Opera guy, but isn't that behavior normal for the default browser? If I'm not mistaken, it's quite memory hungry and if you keep it running, especially with multiple windows open, the system runs out of memory quite easily and just shuts the browser down when it's in background...?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magician32A:
haha, I sure know that feeling too.. But at least we learn in the process!

Yes thats the problem. Well that was not the default behaviour on stock android thats why i caught my attention. I usually have one or at most 2 windows and this still happens.

Example (1 window):

Reading some news page, and then press home and do other things.

Come back to browser to find that this window/page is gone and that it is opening another page from my history.

Plain weird. =)

Maybe I should try Opera.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rony05:
thank you for working hard on this project. please do not stop . there are so few new ROMs for old radio and im sure many many people hungry for new good stuff. i'd love to try your ROM but i cannot. since i'm in ontario bluetooth is mandatory for me. is bluetooth problem in new 2.1 version or missing drivers or??? i use 2.1 completeEclair version and bluetooth work perfect. thanks anyway.

BTW does still exist smelly Olomouc cheese? :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
If I'm not mistaken, movikun already had the bluetooth running a few days back but was having some stability problems with that. That's all I can tell you (and by "I can" I mean "I am able to", not "I am allowed" ;) ).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
Pulse Clock

Is it for SenseUI only?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
Yup, but I do know a very good rom. OpenEclair, it's a vanilla based rom that supports 3D.

It's cooked for G1 but if you use Faruq's Magic Tool you can easily port it to 32A old radio.

It's the best Eclair rom I've ever used, it even has ALL Live Wallpapers working perfectly.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
Well, you can always disable the Sense home/launcher...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
Sorry I wasn't clear, my question was about the pulse clock.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mat738:
I'm interested in it. How can I disable sense?

I like it, but just ot give a look to the original 2.1 :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Kargi:
Settings>applications>manage applications>HTC sense>clear defaults

and woila :-)

pres home and select home...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
But note that this of course only disables the home screen and launcher of Sense UI, the apps still look like Sense UI.

Kargi: Oh, I see the title now, sorry. No, the Pulse Clock is available even with plain vanilla launcher.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
Ummm I really should use full sentences, sorry again. I meant to ask whether the PulseClock can be installed on a non-SenseUI ROM, and what is the minimum version requirement.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
It's just a question of replacing three PNG files in the framework. On Sense UI they're in the WorldClock.apk, on vanilla ROMs they're either in (if I remember this correctly) AlarmClock.apk or DeskClock.apk, depending on which one of those does the ROM use. Then they are also in the main framework (framework-res.apk, I think), but I'm not sure when those are actually used.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mat738:
I tried the ROM for few hours. It worked fine since, after several installations and tricks on it, I decided to restart the phone, because it was quite slow and the keyboard not responding. From that moment I was no more able to get in to the phone.

First time the phone stopped on boot screen, the second, the third and the fourth (!) on the lock screen, freezed.

So I decided to return to my last saved nandroid backup.

I'm whaiting for a more stable version, because I love it!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
The best thing in situation like this would be to provide a log of some kind to see what went wrong. I am not aware of any such serious problems and I'm using this ROM on a day-to-day basis for quite some time now, so I have no idea what happened there. I assume you wiped the phone before the flash, you're not using any kind of app2sd (not that it should matter), stuff like that?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mat738:
You're right, but I forgot to save logs (also because I don't know how to do it:D). I wiped everythig wipable before installing and no, I haven't app2sd or swap or something.

The problem started from the keybord lagging and not responding and then you know how it ends.

I also forgot to do a nandroid backup in order to restore a safe configuration :(

I'll give it another try in these days if I have some time to spend, by the way thank you for your effort!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
I didn't set up any partitions.

I have to kill tasks every second because if I don't it won't be usable/slow. I like it anyway regardless, still haven't restored CursorSense yet.

Question: Is this rom ported from a G1 Legend rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
There is no G1 Legend ROM, as far as I know. It would require massive optimalization to fit this on a G1.

BTW, I'm sorry I can't help with the issues you guys are having, but I'm truly amazed by them. I'm using the ROM without any modifications, have about 40-50 apps installed and it runs pretty flawlessly for me and now with v0.3 it's not much slower than my older CaSense ROM, which (if I may say so) on my phone at least was the fastest Sense UI ROM I've ever seen. I've got around 30-40MB RAM free all the time. About twice as much if I use TaskPanel regularly to kill the unnecessary apps running in background (which I'm doing less and less these days, partly because of how good the Legend ROM seems to me at managing free memory).

I'm not using many widgets and apps non-stop, though - analog clock, small weather widget (HTC), Handcent SMS widget, android power widget (the default one), HTC People widget. That's about it. Running in background the only non-standard apps are TaskPanel and Twidroid Pro. Quite often when people have problems with ROMs, they're caused by widgets and/or apps, so I'd try shutting/removing them one by one.

Also, if you have some serious problems like those mentioned just now, remember to make a log dump just in case it can tell us more about the problem. If you do something like

adb logcat > log.txt

and keep it running until you encounter your problem and then end it with Control-C, you'll get the log dump in the log.txt file in the current directory.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mat738:
Ok, I reinstalled it...I'm in love with this rom. For now it's working fine, better than the first time. If there will be problems i'll report ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magician32A:
Nice work guys! blackscreen+FC seems to be fixed! :D

I still get an FC in APN settings tho. And that Java app whatever it is FCs too.

Youtube videos have audio sync issues.

Adding a city is working now. :p

Regarding that task killer and memory discussions earlier, I would agree that legend really has a good memory manager and that no auto killers are needed. Which is understandable since HTC is releasing Sense to older phones with less memory and even Legend is a tad low on memory compared to its bigger brother Desire.

Thanks again!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
The APN FC is mentioned in the "known issues". Thanks for reporting the JBed crash, though, I forgot to test this app when I added it to the ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] CJjack:
good nice

If you can add dynamic weather and time 3D Gallery
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
I have no idea what you mean by "dynamic weather and time".

You can install the 3D Gallery yourself, download the APK and install it, it should work. It's included in many ROMs. I was thinking about including it, but...I don't know, seems pretty useless to me, at least the way it is now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Kargi:
I have noticed one problem in this rom, after i send mms mic and speaker don't work until i reboot phone???

And after the update flash in browser doesn't work???
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Bolerro:
Hello :)

I've installed this ROM yesterday and it's awesome, but has same bugs...

This ROM is fast and stable, enough for me :)

Bugs on my Magic:

-gallery 3d working, but not horizontally

-after reboot, sametimes my phone hasn't a sound - its silent: nothing works o.O

-superuser permission don't works also, I don't know why?

Please! Don't abandon this project :D He has a future :)

PS: Sorry for my bad english, but I'm not an english person.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magician32A:
Ah my mistake, sorry. Was looking in the changelog only.. I have had a weird thing happen 2 times now. When Im doing thing (for example browsing web) and someone calls me, the phone starts to ring and vibrate but it takes around 5 seconds for it to switch to 'phone mode' where I can see who's calling me and answer the call.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
That's hardly a bug of this ROM, considering we don't have 3D Gallery in it. Also, I think you're referring to the quite well known issue 3D Gallery has everywhere, which is that you can't change the orientation of the screen when using 3D Gallery.

No idea, but make sure you have "Quiet ring on pickup" disabled in Settings, it is known to be causing problems, maybe it could be responsible for this as well.

Works fine here, never had any problems with it...what does "doesn't work" mean exactly?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jason0316:
i like ur rom but i think its slower than 0.21 sometime will freeze

and the sms notification won't work after this update,

maybe it's just my issue!

thank u for ur job!

i will support u
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Bolerro:
1. 3D Gallery isn't very important for me :) Its good on normal orientation :P

2. Hmm... Its a very strange problem... I'm sure I haven't "Quiet ring[...]", because the any sounds don't work - sometimes sounds are all the time and sometimes are 20 minutes and the phone suddenly silent... The sounds don't work on speaker and headphones. I don't know why :/

3. This doesn't work when i have to click the action: Allways allow, allow...

Superuser Permission have taken the lag allways when I had to do some action.

I hope you understand what I mean :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
I can only say what I've said many times before - Post a log from the moment that happens...I'm sorry, but 2 and 3 simply don't happen to me, just like the previous "blackscreen bug" didn't happen to me at all - I even bought a prepaid SIM for another network just to test it on 3G and still didn't happen, also I can edit APN just fine - so it's obvious there are some other factors in play. At least with the blackscreen bug we know what they are... It's hard to debug something that you know nothing about and doesn't happen to you even if you try...:(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
The "SU black screen" is quite simple actually - enable USB debugging. It's a prerequisite to this su vesion.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Bolerro:
On my Magic are too many bugs ;/ Allways something doesn't work... It's a very fantastic ROM, but not for me. I haven't time to spend at my phone. I'm waiting for a next version, much stable for my magic. Thx for a work!

I'll use this ROM, but not now :P

Android 1.5 is the best for me :)

Greetings!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magician32A:
To me it felt like it was slower too but one has to give it a few days and reboots so things can settle in (cache and such). Then it should be about the same I think.

Cheers
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
Honestly, I do think it's a bit slower in the long run too. Feels a bit faster when you start the ROM, but then gets a bit laggy I think. We'll most likely return to the original framework for the next update and not only because of these issues, there are other things that cause problems in 0.3 that I think were not there before. We used the VillainROM framework mainly because a) it was deodexed and b) it seemed like the temporary solution to quickly solve the blackscreen bug. Seems like it came with a price...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ettamara:
when the new update
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
When it's done.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magician32A:
Yea I agree on it being a tad slower but it is stable as hell and suited for a daily use! Probably one of the better Hero ROMs.

Is there a way to get the trackball led to flash on missed calls/sms and so on? Cant seem to find it in the settings, or do I need to replace the trackball lib?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] felltom:
Case,

Would just like to thank you for an excellent ROM. Downloaded and installed v0.3 yesterday and after a few scary moments (this is my third ROM flash) like the black screen issue and APN FC-ing, everything was sorted by rebooting a couple of times. (The APN still FC's but the phone connects to G and 3G and all so no real need to edit anything.)

This will probably sound annoying to the people that are still having problems but just thought I should make noise for the other side that has found it to work and be generally excellent.

Tnx
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
So, if there's still someone interested, here's a new release, finally. Please read the changelog and known issues. There's also an update pack that enables experimental live wallpapers support with Sense UI (but has quite a lot of issues, so be sure to check the notes before flashing and testing it).

I've also done a port of the latest Hero CDMA ROM lately I might release soon for those interested in it (but most likely without any support). It has its own issues, it doesn't contain Friendstream and some other bits and it's English only, but on the other hand it's also a bit faster than the Legend ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sepipe-l0:
I'm testing 0.4 right now, will be back with feed-back! Also, sanpei have got everything working on his legend ROM right? is BT and thinks like that fixed soon?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
What sanpei's got working is of little consequence to anyone else, unless the ROM uses "his" kernel directly. Which I won't do, since a) it's for the new radio and we're on the old one and b) he refuses to share the code and I'm not gonna use any kernel I can't compile myself, ever.

As for fixing BT, I don't think it's very likely at this point. But you never know.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sepipe-l0:
alright Case, but I've noticed that the widget list is kind of buggy. Only e few widgets are showing up, and after a while theres some new, and some have vanished
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
Please, read the known issues.
