may by some difference of script based on respective hardware but specially for this rom since its purely magic based u have to use the magic recovery .
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] acd1972:
Been running this for 2 days now, the first couple of hours it was terrible with lockups and freezzes all the time. Now it seems to be settling down and is stable and fast.

I have the swap and ext3 partition and using app2sd now. Ive been using the sanpei legend rom for a month but needed a change from sense, very happy so far!

Thanks for the great work :-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
That's wierd.

I've been using it for a couple of weeks (until I decided to take a few days off 2.1 and installed MarsDroid last night) and, although it was not as fast as a good 1.6 ROM, it was consistent, did not lock up/freeze, and never gave any short dumps.

I used SupSetup to turn off 3D and did not use LWP.

I don't really ever use the camcorder so that was not a big deal for me either.

My biggest complaints for any 2.1 rom, this one included, is the speed/performance and the few remaining noticeable bugs (always nice to have a fully functioning rom).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
For the past week, I have been playing with upgrading the kernel for this rom to Sanpei's .32 kernel. I also ported the new release of XxKOLHExX's new beta rom (thread is in G1 forum). However, he did not work on his previous release - he threw out most of that work and his new rom is built on a Chinese base. They have a few big bugs (like frequent soft boots) that they have been unable to solve, so it is not worth releasing a port yet to everyone (and it is really a new rom anyway not an update to the existing one this rom is built off of).

I got this rom to run successfully on Sanpei's .32 kernel, but there are quite a few bugs to work through before it can be released.

There would have to be some significant benefit to upgrading to his .32 kernel from this one to make the effort worth it for me. For now it may just make more sense to keep an eye on Sanpei's rom and if/when he updates his kernel, then I could upgrade this rom. I would be happy to work with someone on it if interest is out there.

amount of ram showing as 198

Hi all, i think i made a boo boo somewhere, i have an htc magic 32a and from what i know i had (should have) 288mb ram 512mb rom, i installed a few apps and ran free from terminal and im showing 192mb (198 cant remeber what it was).

did i do something wrong, i followed the links in post 1 to update the radio and spl to the ones needed for this rom. i've tried doing searches for this issue but i cant find anything but i remember there was a way to make your 32a to a 32b and i think i may have done that some how.

any help would be appreciated or links to the right threads.

thanks acid

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] digitaljeff:
thats fine.. the magic has 288 ram, but only 192 is usable by the OS, hence why you see 192 when doing free.. if you had a 32B you would only show 96 when doing free...

ill take payment in the form of chocolate chip cookies and 1% milk k thnx ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Daneshm90:
Hey is it possible to post a 32a old radio port ? thnx
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I am uploading it now to rapidshare.

It's based on the OpenEclair kernel for the 32a old radio.

I haven't tested it, but it should flash successfully using the same radio, SPL and recovery that is required for OE 32a old radio.

Let me know if there are any bugs or if things aren't working. I can try fixing them later if you like the ROM and would use it if the bugs got fixed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Daneshm90:
Hey, thats awesome. Cant wait to try it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] george_russos:
Oh, are you uploading now the 32A version? Coz I downloaded the ROM from the first post and I loaded to my phone but it never booted.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Daneshm90:
If you're using old radio/spl then yes wait for his upload, just like me :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Here you go.........keep me posted of results.

SuperEclair v2.4 by XxKOLOHExX OE 32a Kernel for old radio rapidshare
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Daneshm90:
K ignore that, im trying it out right now :) thnx hope it works
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
If it doesn't work or is buggy, do a adb logcat if you can and post the error.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Daneshm90:
Nvm it works, it was a small bug on my end :) awesome its booting

Ill let u know if i get to the homescreen or not :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Daneshm90:
K so this port works, rom is too slow for my daily use. But yea it works :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Shame it's slow.

It's probably also an older version of the OE kernel. I bet their newer ones are faster.

Does the camcorder work?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] acids7n:
thanks for the info, phew what a relief

and i only have skim milk will that do =)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] george_russos:
Pfff what a shame, it is slow and it is so good looking.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
If you want to try another option, you could flash the ROM listed above (the one you already tested) and then flash the following kernel over it and then boot.

OE32AORPort_signed rapidshare

This is a kernel is a newer build of the OpenEclair 32A port for the old 3.xx radio. I'm not sure, but maybe it has some performance improvements.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] george_russos:
Well I'm sorry but I don't have the time to try new ROMs, can somebody test that with the kernel our friend uploaded and write here?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I updated the rom with Sanpei's .32 kernel for 32A 6.35 radio.

See first and second post for details.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] izamoscar:
This rom is really great & updated so fast...I just update to v4 & now v5 hv come! Hope everthing wl work fine soon!:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pintspin:
can you please mirror the link , as both links are syaing that my download quota has exceeded........!! plz i want to test this rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Someone else will have to it for now because I am at work for the next 6 hours and can't access fileshare sites.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lele5800:
The best 2.1 rom at this time! Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LoGaY:
my Magic 32a used RADIO 6.35 and SPL 1.76, but the recovery isn't magic recovery, but Hero recovery....

can I flash this rom with my hero recovery on my magic 32a?

:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
You can certainly try to...nothing bad can happen...

If it fails flash a magic recovery for the new radio that CursorDroid made. (modified Amon Ra's recovery)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] coltcha:
recovery

Instalation aborted E: failure at line 2: ...

with both recoveries recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img and recovery-RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.6.2.img (linked in first post)

all checksums fine

any idea??

btw what is the difference between

recovery-RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.6.2.img

recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H.img

?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I'm not sure. Cursordroid or Amon Ra might be able to answer that question. Cursor made the Magic32A one (which I believe is a modified Amon Ra recovery) and Amon Ra made the sapphire one.

I think I know where in this rom is the statement that requires Curssor's recovery to be used and if not then the statement causes these errors.

I think I could change the code to allow either Cursor's or Amon Ra's recovery to be used. Since the rom is <100 mb in size I don't think this change could hurt anyone's phone, but I would need to confirm with Cursor and/or Amon.

I'll try to get an answer and update the rom if safe so that both recoveries will work.

In the meantime, are you sure you flashed Cursor's recovery successfully?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] coltcha:
i think so, i can flash different 6.35 ROMS without problems :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I updated the rom so that it will load with Cursordroid's and Amon Ra's recovery images.

See the first and second post for details and link to updated rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KAwAtA:
neverminddd i missed the post above! lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] chemicalfire:
Hey guys - quick question.

How long does the first boot on this take? It's been sitting on the boot screen (and repeating it) for about 10 mins.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] PremierITA:
Is performance of this ROM lower than sanpei legend 0.35.1? I need eclair performance like cursorsense cupcake
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hk5354:
how can i install the htc_ime to this rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hk5354:
hope to including the htc framework in this rom
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] white^rabbit:
does the gps work without have to reboot with gps on?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
GPS should work fine. I don't think I had to re-boot or turn GPS on/off or anything.

I will look into adding htc_ime.

I think the rom performs similar to Sanpei's / Capychimp's and it may be a bit faster if you use SupSetup4 to tweak performance settings. Linpack is ~2.3 when all performance settings are set up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
It boots faster than that first time.

Boot screen animation comes up after 5 min max.

What radio, SPL and recovery are you using?

Did you do a full wipe as instructed in first post?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Here is the HTC_IME.apk.

You should be able to put this on your SD card and install it using Astro file manager or similar.

I can include in the next version of this rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hk5354:
thx for your help:D

also may i know how to install the htc_cime?

is it require htc framework?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I am uploading a version of the rom with the HTC_IME keyboard.

Have you tried swype? Once you try it you won't want to use anything else?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Here is the version with the HTC_IME keyboard.

SuperEclair2.1_v8.2_32A_.32_NR_v0.6_HTC_IME.zip
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hk5354:
sorry, i wanna install the htc_Cime (chinese IME) on my magic,

it can install on some-rom with sense-ui , but this can't.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hk5354:
here is the htc Cime i wanna install.

Thank for your help~
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Did you try installing it using a file manager like Astro or Linda?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hk5354:
yes, sure , i try to install by the root explore
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hk5354:
also here is some bug in this rom.

1.hang at reboot or shudown (sometime)

2.turn to green LED , but it is not full charge(8X% only)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eric-xda:
Thanks for your ROM!

My phone is HTC Magic(TIM)

here is the issue i've tested

1- meet force close while switching Launcher home

2- 3D Gallery still has rorate issue.

3- scroll is not smooth enough, and speed seems normal(not fast i mean)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hk5354:
I got same issues
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
The first time you load it, it is really slow and may crash but if you give it time it will load and work after that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fonsigno:
giant please port new beta from supereclair 2.1 posted on g1 section
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I will get to it today sometime.

I was waiting for that rom to be more stable and it looks like now is a good time :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hk5354:
Your work is so nice:D

Thx!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hol17:
Just flashed the rom and it seems good so far; only problem I'm having is performance issues: slowness of the ROM itself. Menus, application list, and just general scrolling seems really slow right now and it feels like I have to force each movement to get my phone to recognize it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skorchir:
Me too having major performance issues. and ADB isnt working for me
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I have ported the new version here.

I created a new thread for this other rom, because it is not based off the original SuperEclair2.1 like this one. The other rom is based off a completely different build.

Performance seems way better for me, but stability is an issue.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I just updated this rom with the JitHack version that was done by Lefeudedieu.

I am getting Linpack scores of 3.0-3.5 with JitHack, AutoKiller (memory optimisation) and SupSetup tweaks.

The rom is now stupid fast (fastest 2.1 I have used) and seems very stable.

It does not feel quite a quick as the HTTCClay SuperFast Donut based rom, but it's close.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hol17:
I'll test it out ASAP.

Flashed it and yes, it is faster but;

Launcher is lagging a lot for me, lags to the point I have to force close myself and try to reload the launcher but then it just freezes once again.

Also, can I ask why you have an autokill app AND taskkiller on the ROM together? I personally hate taskkillers on ROMs.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I think AutoKiller might cause problems with JitHack.

Licknuts' post on JitHack explains when problems can arise. I am testing the rom's performance with and without AutoKiller running.

"Update (fix for /cache/dalvik-cache 04-26-2010): Really only use this if your having issues using the symbolic link fixes posted by other members or are just out of free space on /cache. First the new issues people are experiencing is in cm-based-kernels from 4.2.15.x and not JIT enabled DalvikVM and people using danger/death spl will experience problems faster. Lack of space on /cache is a problem and will cause market downloads to fail as well as email attachments. The other problem is the kernel fails for various and unknown reasons to mount bind /cache/dalvik-cache to /data/dalvik-cache......."
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] geney:
:o

Tried to flashed and ended up stuck at HTC.

I have 3 partitions on my SDcard; Partitioned using RA Recovery 1.6.2.

Maybe try another download link.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] misery:
So manyyyyyyyy FC.

i give up. not for me yet!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
(1) When you boot for the first time, proceed slowly and allow the phone to do its thing. Don't try to multitask or do too much at once. After I set up my phone I rebooted as well.

(2) I find the HelixLauncher is better than the Launcher.

(3) I put the autokill app and the task killer on the rom together because I want to test the autokill app. They both do very different things. Taskiller allows you to kill all or some of the apps from running. Autokill clears the memory on the phone but does not kill running apps. I am not sure yet, but I think I may need to apply the latest fix from that licknuts post. I will try later and see if it helps.

(4) I can also upload a stripped down version with no market apps if you want.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Did you do all 3 wipes as instructed in the first post?

When booting for the first time, do not try to do things to fast. Take your time and allow the phone to adjust.

Also, after first boot when prompted by Autokiller, don't give it permission to access root, etc. See if that helps.

My phone is running great here still.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] misery:
Yes, i do it has i allways do... 3 wipes flash, full configuration, reboot, fix.

and still getting FC on home!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
The only thing I can think of is to read the following post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=637419

There are 2 thoughts that I can think of from this post that might relate to you:

(1) You are experiencing the first problem and need to apply the 86dalvik-cache-fix (discussed at top of post).

(2) Your file system needs fixing first (discussed at bottom of post).

The dev of the Autokiller app emailed me and says it shouldn't interfere with Jit.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hk5354:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tbrummell:
Call me crazy, but how do you open the picture Gallery? I can't find an icon for it...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Possibly...I was playing with home & launchers last night.

After reading a bit it seems launchers are more buggy than I thought.

I will update the rom with a default home and remove these launchers tonight. People can download launchers if they want on their own.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Nope. Not crazy. I missed that, sorry. I will add tonight.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] misery:

i'll until this have a smoother fix.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] misery:
when they say to run it from the terminal, they are speaking ther terminal on the programs list right? so what is the trick to write numbers? err
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
You can execute the commands from the terminal on the phone or from a terminal on your PC using ADB Shell.

It's incredible how users can have such different experiences with these things because I have had no problems. I guess no 2 phones are exactly alike.

The easier option may be for you to start over - partition and format your SD card and then flash rom again.

If that is not an option, you could wait until later when I get a chance to remove the current launchers on the rom and replace them with the simple, standard default home app and then you could try flashing the updated rom.

Or you could just move on as you were thinking.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] misery:
i've reformated everything and started all over again, it's a bit better, but after some minutes of use the phone became slower.

i'll try to perform all the actions using the adb shell.

ill give some feedback.

thank you

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tbrummell:
Will this be a full wipe update to get rid of the other Launchers? If so I'll quit installing stuff until tonight/tomorrow.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I will for sure provide a link to a new complete updated rom for a full wipe.

I will also try to create an update.zip you can just flash over existing rom. This update.zip will install the default home apk.

You will then have to uninstall the other 2 launchers yourself.

I can't confirm whether this update approach will provide optimal results.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tbrummell:
No problem, will do a full wipe tomorrow. I seem to be having some GPS problems anyway, CoPilot will not find the GPS, yet GMaps and GPS Status does.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Here is what I did to get best performance:

(1) Full wipe (all 3)

(2) Flash rom

(3) Boot and set up phone slowly (Jit takes some time to get up to speed)

(4) Select Helix Launcher and make it default

(5) Open Autokiller app, click "Presets", select "Strict" or "Agressive" setting, click "Apply"

(6) Reboot

(7) Test performance with Linpack
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tbrummell:
Those are the exact same steps I used and all was well except GPS & CoPilot compatibility.

I've restored my Nandroid backup and am on CursorSense again. Will try again tomorrow.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
The GPS & CoPilot compatibility may have more to do with the lib file for GPS than anything, but I am using the same file that has been used on numerous 6.35 32A ports.

Do you get this issue with other roms?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tbrummell:
I've only used CoPilot on CursorSense, and it works fine...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I posted an updated v0.8 rom in the first and second post.

Changes:

-Removed all launchers and replaced them with regular default home launcher

-Added regular gallery and 3D gallery

I think the rom runs much better now.

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions.

Note: For best results with LWP turn off 3D acceleration using SupSetup.

YOU CAN TRY TO FLASH v0.8 OVER v0.7 WITHOUT DOING A WIPE.

You may need to delete the other launchers if they were causing you troubles, but it should work fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
This rom is very fast and smooth, probably the best eclair rom i have tried, so if your not for all the htc stuff, this is the rom you want
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I just applied the tweak to increase download / upload speeds over 3G / Edge here.

I have attached the modified build.sapphire.prop file for this rom.

The instructions for pushing this updated file to your phone are as follows:

(1) Save attached build.sapphire.prop.zip file to your desktop.

(2) Unzip the file to desktop.

(3) Open terminal and change directories to your desktop (the paths obviously vary depending on OS - so the first command below will change).

(4) Type:

cd desktop

adb remount

adb push build.sapphire.prop /system/build.sapphire.prop

adb shell reboot

This will replace the previous file from the rom with the updated version.

My download speeds over 3G increased 3x and my upload speeds increased 2x with this update.

For some people this tweak could slow down their download and upload speeds. If this happens let me know and I will send you the original build.sapphire.prop file for you to replace.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TuRDMaN:
Okay, so I partitioned my SD card into FAT32/Ext4/Swap and installed the ROM, but any apps I install go on the phone internal storage instead of onto the SD card. I made sure to check the Install Apps to SD box in SupSetup, but it still doesn't work. Do I have to do anything else? Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zydus:
I managed to root my Rogers Magic (post 911 update) and just installed this ROM. Its running very smoothly. I haven't explored it too much yet, but i'm enjoying the speed compared to the sense 2.1 smoki rom.

Very nice ROM.
