[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Switch33:
I just tested my camera for the first time and mines freezing when it takes the 2nd picture and after checking the folder, the 2nd pic isn't there.

I think I found a fix though, just reflashed and testing some more...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 3rdcoast:
k, now that we can confirm the camera freezes, is there an issue with login apps such as facebook? I can't get any facebook apps or the facebook account in email to login. Google apps and accounts (such as gmail, latitude and Buzz) work fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Switch33:
Can someone who has more camera experience than me tell me if when taking pictures do you occasionally get a default android picture if the picture fails?

I have gotten it so the camera app isn't freezing but if I take like 10 pictures in a row about 2-3 will not show the actual picture but a default android picture like it has failed (this can also be seen in the little preview window in the corner of the camera app). The faster I take the pictures the more this seems to happen but I'm not sure if this is normal behavior.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] orange_24:
am sorry but gps still is crashed - even when i flash radio again...

in camera every 3rd picture did't work... black screen.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 3rdcoast:
I don't get any default pictures from cyan5 (old radio) or cursordroid (new radio). For now I've gone back to old radio and cyan until new radio roms get a little more stable.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Bladyle:
Just wondering, can I use metamorph themes for CM with this ROM?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I think you can, but I have not tried it myself.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sharpt71:
FYI. It never happened to me. However, from what I read in other forums, people flashing CM-5.0.x (with old radio) did have this kind of problem.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Dheus:
Tried this rom, optimistic to see what it offers.

Disappointment after using it. Camera bugs, a lot, the interface gets laggy after few minutes of use, is not faster then the official CM.

Few modifications in comparasion with the original rom, only the theme.

FC and restart when trying to use SupSetup.

Poor optimization on battery drain fix.

Is only an alternative to CM if you have the new radio, and not willing to change the radio.

It needs more work on it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tommyd2:
same for me
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sharpt71:
Some update to my previous post: camera problem

OK, I think I should report something in return, although I reflashed to radio 3.22), since I like CM-5 related ROMs a lot and wish this problem can be resolved for all CM-5 ROMs in the near future.

From another forum, I got help from a person who sugguested me to flashed the following:

1. RA_1.7.0 recovery

2. DRC83_base_defanged

3. update-cm-5.0.8-DS-signed, gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed, and bc-5.0.8-ebi1-signed.

Please noted that I used RA_1.6.2 and have never flashed DRC83_base_defanged. Based on CM-5 upgrade guide, DRC83_base_defanged is not needed (it did mention this file in CM-4). I checked android wiki and found that DRC83_base_defanged is related to ADP1. I really did NOT think DRC83_base_defanged would change anything, but I gave it a shot anyway.

The results:

1. I took pictures in 4 different times and each time 4, 3, 2, and 4 pictures were taken. I pressed "preview" and clicked on either "delete" or "done". Everything works like a charm. I'm happy that the camera problem can be resolved. But what give? Can somebody explain this?

2. Weird thing happen in adb devices. Right after reboot after flash, I tried to connect to my phone via adb devices. However, I got 6 or 7 identical (with same device number) offline devices. After another reboot, I got 7 or 8 offline devices and one connected (all with same device number) DON'T know how to deal with this so far. (update: after restart adb server, everything is fine now.)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sedret:
Ok, here is my opinion on the ROM after trying it for a few days...

I did everything the first post said so that I would exclude any bug that might happen from not installing it right. Moreover I've formatted and reinstalled 3 times...

1. If I install Sanpei's kernel OC the phone lags like *ell... Tested it 2 times with the same result.

2.The battery drain is unusually high. With 100% after 15 minutes of talking and 15 minutes of wifi connection for the market plus a bit of "browsing" through the settings, the battery fell to 68%...

On the up side this rom is really beautiful, with the fonts and all, and really fast. It is a keeper for me as long as the battery issue is fixed.

Great rom mate and thank you for your hard work....:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Funny, others find it way better. My battery performance has improved significantly and I have had zero FC.

It is laggy for maybe the first 20 min of use for me and then it got faster and faster until it stabilised.

It did not get laggy for me at all after a few days of use.

The camera is buggy.

And the rom has issues with GPS as do all 6.35 rom I think.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Again, all I can say is it is weird how different people get different results.

I flashed Sanpei's OC kernel (after I had SupSetup and everything else set up and after a day of using the rom) and it improved the overall experience.

I then went 2 days and my battery was only down to 65%.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gktieo:
can anyboby help?, i'm not able to import SIM contact to my phone after i flash SuperEclair v8.8 to my phone, tq
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sike89:
hey everyone just a quick question is my phone suppose to re-start automatically when i activate JIT in SupSetup4?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kerdum:
I was about to ask the same question :). Mine did exactly that after I installed it for the first time yesterday.

Aside from buggy Camera and GPS connection issue this is a superb ROM! Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sike89:
yeah it was super but now after 5 min of use it turn EXTREMELY slow, like first boot i get 3-3.9 mflops, then 5 min later i get .8 and it wont go any higher.

driving me nuts and wanting to throw my phone out the window.

the rom works great but just slow for some reason which is stupid.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Yes, it is supposed to re-start automatically when changing the JIT settings.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I think we'll have an update for later tonight depending on how testing goes :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sike89:
NICE! lol even with this rom running slowly for some reason (.8 mflop score) i still love it, maybe the update will magically fix my problem lol

Keep up the awesome work!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I sent you the link to your XDA inbox to the updated rom if you want to test it out before I update this thread with the link. So far it seems to be working better. No slowdown.

I would wipe to be sure it flashes and boots correctly.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tanksta:
slow day today, i could test the new version too. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Check your inbox.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sike89:
so far im happy, but we will see what happends in 10 or so min, if its the same speed ill be super happy.

so fresh install no icons no widgets and all apps killed except AutoKiller on Optimum, here are mflop scores

3.628

3.928

3.881

3.872

3.611

3.571

3.954

so thats amazing, ill be editing my post in about 30 min after installing things and playing around with it.

so far *high five* giant_rider!

so the MFLOP scores are pretty much the same the lowest i hit after doing it about 20 times was 3.431

so id say the update is amazing as far as speed goes, next ill be going to the camera because i hear its usually a problem and then im going to click pretty much everything that comes with the rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
That's good news. If you phone's performance stays consistent, then it will be a *high five* to Switch33 for his mods. If it starts to die on you, I will take the blame :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sike89:
So i now bow down to you and Switch33.

if only you could help me get my 3g... its been gone for 3 days now and i cant seem to get it back, is there something i need to run to get it back?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I don't know if this will help, but you can try flashing the 6.35 radio again (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=605239 for instructions). Switching between rom versions (1.6 to 2.1) causes problems. I'm not sure but switching between 2.1 roms may also cause problems. But I have read and have reflashed the radio myself and then my connection seems to work fine.

Also, where are you located?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sike89:
ok ill try it out when im at home, after reading it i think i wont have the time at work lol.

do you think i somehow set my phone to before the rogers update with the 911 thing? because im pretty sure they took away 3g until you do that update. but when i try to run it it says phone not connected and i cant seem in get the proper drivers on my computer to see the phone properly...

side note i broke 4.00 MFLOPS.

if people dont like this rom.... then they are dumb..:D

in quebec montreal
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Switch33:
Is all your data gone or just not connecting at 3G?

My experience with it is when I was on the old radio when I first rooted my phone they cut all my data almost exactly 24hrs later, so no 3g, edge, etc. Once I flashed the radio back and called them its been on ever since. So if Rogers was to mess with the data it should be completely off. You might want to check your phone in another location (at home if your seeing no 3g at work) might just be a signal issue out of your control.

Maybe double check your network settings and make sure you didn't accidently turn 2g only on.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sike89:
all data is gone 3g turned on and at work, at home, and everywhere else no data

i guess ill do this?

or is there something else i need to do?

and now that i think about it it was roughly 24hours and my 3g went away after rooting my phone and installing this rom.... strange.. rogers is annoying sometimes
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tanksta:
initial test results pmed..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Switch33:
Yeah that makes sense since you just rooted the phone, the radio gets flashed back to pre rogers 911 update and their network does scans to see which radio you are running and will cut the data if it isn't the newest radio. Have you already flashed the radio back to 6.35.10.18? If so, you can just call them and play dumb and they will turn it back on (network reset). It didn't take very long after I called them but I think you need to reboot the phone to get it back.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sike89:
i have not flashed it back to anything yet, gaint_raider gave me this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=605239 is that what you did? and then you had to call them and act like you have no idea what root or rom means:rolleyes: lol

*edit*

rebooting phone now to see what i got because i forget now

*edit again*

i have 6.35.08.29

*edit again omg*...

after reading again can i just download and flash the new radio img file and not worry about formatting anything??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
It sounds like flashing the 6.35.10.18 radio is something worth trying before calling Rogers. Make sure to follow that guide in the link I sent you exactly as specified. You can brick your phone if you do the steps out of sequence or flash the wrong SPL + radio combination.

The SPL, radio and recovery listed in my signature work fine together and you can flash them in the order specified in that post.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sike89:
i actually downloaded the 6.35.10.18 update zip and just flashed it over everything and it worked perfect, still no 3g but at least i got the right radio im going to try calling rogers tonight and getting them to do a network reset. and all should be good.

thank for both of your help

i love this place lol so friendly
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Switch33:
I think I told them I put my sim card in an old phone for a couple days and it hadn't been updated and then when I moved it back to my normal phone my data was gone lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sike89:
i hope you dont mind that i use that exact excuse lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Switch33:
lol, go for it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sike89:
im chatting online now and he asked for my build number.... i found the stock one and now he just tells me i need an update...

he said i can only get a network update when he confirms i am updated... do you know the build for an updated magic so he can just reset it? is it Build 3.05.631.7?

DONE! got the 3g back thanks to you guys, finally tricked them into a network reset lol

so now for today i got 3G back new rom on phone that is liquid smooth and its the end of the day so i get to go home. im so happy right now!

side note after playing with my phone ALL day since 7am installing the rom and installing apps and playing around with it till now (almost 5pm) im at 75% battery which is great!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
A new update has been released.

See the first 2 posts.

A HUGE thanks goes to lefeudedieu and Switch33 for their contributions. Switch33 gets credit for all performance improvements and for incorporating Sanpei's .32 OC kernel.

The camera has been improved but is still not 100%.

The issues with GPS have not been fixed yet.

NOTE: If coming from a previous version of this rom or any other rom, do a full wipe and delete the SupSetup folder from your sdcard before booting for the first time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nathanysh:
it shows a "force close" whenever i select time zone

wt should i do?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
With the newest version being OC'ed how does the battery life fare?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Switch33:
Battery life is better but likely from the battery driver change in the kernel and not because of the OC.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sike89:
battery life is Good ive been playing with it since i woke up, now 8 hours later its at 54% and im ok with that. i dont mind charging everyday lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I don't get that FC on the time zone for some reason.

Why not just select "Automatic" to have the network provide the date and time values? Does that cause a FC too?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rudy_ray_moore:
I installed the new update this morning + reflashed the radio and the browser slowness I experienced in 2.0 is gone, and the overall responsiveness from the UI feels faster. Now that there is no Supsetup preinstalled, should we just install from the market to enable JIT, or is there another way (is it even necessary)?

Unfortunately, I now get a force close when I launch the camera, so I'm trying to retrace my steps to make sure I didn't miss anything. Other than that its great and its a noticeable performance increase over 2.0.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Switch33:
Did you do a full wipe before installing 2.1? I haven't heard of the camera app fc, just it dropping every 3rd picture which right now is a known bug.

With SupSetup removed, jit is enabled out of the box.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Installing SupSetup from the Market over v2.1 runs the risk of messing up your performance and it should not add any benefit as Switch33 mentioned because we already have jit and an overclocked kernel.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rudy_ray_moore:
I did remove the supsetup dir from SD card, went into recovery to do the full wipe, wiped dalvik-cache (had to do it from adb), I don't have an SD partition to wipe, and re-flashed radio. I used the same procedure when moving from 0.9 to 2.0, and now 2.0 to 2.1, and this is the first time I've seen a FC. I'll try to reload the rom and see if it makes a difference.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sike89:
I dont know if this is the rom doing this but yesterday i was trying to send a file via bluetooth and i could not connect to him but he could connect to me, he could send me the file and i could receive it but i could not send him anything,

the connection said "paired but not connected"
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kerdum:
Installed 2.1 last night. It seems to be less stable than 2.0. The reason I say that is becasue My phone has frozen 3 times since last night.

All three times I was typing something into a text field when it happened. Anyone else?

Thanks,

kerdum
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sike89:
i have not had it freeze yet, i have had my home FC and the start right back up in 2 sec, but no freeze yet, and ive done quite a bit of typing. maybe try to re-flash it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kerdum:
Hey I thought of something (just for troubleshooting sakes). Do you have "vibrate on keypress" enabled by any chance? (I do, I'm going to try without it turned on).

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kerdum:
Done some more testing.... It seem that it is not keyboard related.. Its freezing simply when I'm in the middle of interacting/touching the screen. In other words..its seems pretty random. This was not the case in the previouse version. I'll try to reflash as my next step :).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sike89:
yeah i would just re-flash, its so weird how the roms act differently on different people phones even when its the same phone... i swear the phone manufactures are messing with our heads, the last version would barely run on my phone was getting scores of .800 in linpack and now with this one i have gotten over 4.0

so hopefully the re-flash makes it all better
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kerdum:
So i reflashed.... and my extra step was to format the SD and repartition my SD. I think that helped. Its seems more stable (I say "more" because it has frozen on me twice already).

I wanted to report a bug with the camera. When I take a picture the first picture gets saved. But any picture after that shows a default android image. To get it to work again you have to exit the camera and open it again. Only the first picture gets saved.

Hope my info helps someone.

Thanks,

Is there anybody who is using this ROM on hero radio? It's working normal?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kerdum:
So I'm getting random freezes again. I'm starting to think its only my phone. The only ROM that didn't freeze for me was cursorsense's ROM...but I really didnt want the sense UI.

Here's my theory. Any ROM that is not overclocked works fine on my phone? That or any ROM that doesn't have an HTC kernel will freeze? what do ya think?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
In any case, a logcat would be helpful you know :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kerdum:
How would I get a logcat off my phone if it keeps freezing? Logcat only lets me save when i tell it to save...my phone freezing kinda stops me from that :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Nope, it does not :) There is always something in logcat right before the freeze....or if it's just system stuff dieing out, you should even have continued logcat after the phone froze (nothing special really would come after that as everything is dead, but you get the point).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Nabukodonosor:
jrosMetamorph forcecloses everytime I start it and try to browse (cargar tema). Is there any other app to use for theme changing?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
The original Metamorph, but I have no experience with applying themes. You'll have to find one that will work with SuperEclair. I'm not sure if jros' themes are dependent on anything we pulled for v2.1. I think it should work, but I am not sure.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
WHERE is the language pack mentioned in the first post?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I removed it because it was not doing what it was supposed to. I hope to add languages soon and do it properly.

I also hope to be able to get Facebook syncing. We may have a fix for Froyo (it's Firerat's fix). I will add it to this rom and see if it fixes Facebook syncing for SuperEclair (it should but who knows until you try).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
After using sense ui for a long time I was ready for a taste of AOSP. Too bad this ROM didn't work too great for me. My main problem was the GPS, very intermittent, I tried to record a bike ride using My Tracks but it kept losing location all the time, so the speed was either not displayed at all or totally bogus. After I while Launcher Pro had FC's all over it, and I had to wipe and restore a nandroid because I needed a working phone for the rest of the day.

So maybe the FC's galore (My Tracks often crashed as well) could have been due to me failing to set up swap, but the GPS is a major problem, it never works correctly for me with any AOSP or CM derived ROM. Clearly not a kernel or radio issue, cause my daily use is with the same radio and the same sanpei kernel, and the gps works OK on a sense ROM, while AOSP based ROMs make it act broken.

I will try a later version in some time though, cause otherwise the ROM is pretty and quite snappy.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
The FC's you got are wierd because I don't think anyone else has reported them with this release.

The GPS issue is know and unfortunately I don't have a solution yet.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 2007hch:
Hello Giant_rider, the ROM is awesome. Thank you for your dedication in maintaining it. I noticed that the calendar widget does not have an option to add Exchange/Corporate calendar. So I dont get any calendar entries from my exchange server. Mail is working fine though.

Is this something you can add?

Regards
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
As far as I know that option is not available and is a known issue.

I did find the following:

http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid/14592-corporate-calendar.html

1. Go to the marketplace and download the free version of Touchdown.

2. Once it is installed configure it to your server.

3. After it is syncing go to the settings and go down to the folder selection.

4. Remove everything except calendar and tasks.

5. Do a refresh to make sure that the calendar is working.

6. Next go to the email app on the phone (Not Touchdown).

7. Click on the menu button and go to settings.

8. Go down to incoming settings.

9. Make sure that you have DOMAIN\username, password, exchange server, use secure ssl (if needed), do not check the Accept all SSL certs button.

10. Press the home button.

11. Go to settings.

12. Click on Accounts and sync

13. Click on your exchange account.

14. Make sure that corporate calendar is checked.

15. Now go to your corporate calendar.

16. Click the menu button and do a refresh.

17. Your calendar should now work.

18. Now you can click home.

19. Go to settings

20. Applications

21. Manage Applications

22. Select Touchdown and Un-install.

Worked on 3 different Droids!!! Good luck!

Also, apparently there is a corporate calendar apk for the Motorola Droid that is free and syncs. Maybe you can find a copy and test on this rom. Sorry I can't be more help. The companies I work for don't use Exchange and so I have no experience with it. Maybe someone else can help.
