Ill try and make it work on the stock rom tonight, if it I can get it to work, bam!

I just know that for some reason it worked for me, so maybe I missed a step while typing it out, or left something out, I will duplicate the scenario then we shall see.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] voxluna:
Bleh. There HAS to be a single-post, simple way to fix that damned problem. Granted, it has mysteriously started working for me now, but I still want to know what the hell it was? I'm pretty incredulous that nobody knows the answer.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jeffakajeff:
Did not get it to work on the stock fender, but oddly enough, neither did

adb shell reboot

It did nothing.

I did however make it work again with the rom from gsxR

I have all the protected apps, and swype.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Hollywood80:
Ok so I give up. I wiped, reinstalled gsxR* V1.0 ROM again, pushed your two apk files, did the shell reboot, installed them via Android Mate, then pushed the build.prop file, did shell reboot and Facebook and Handcent SMS STILL freaking crash. Man this sucks. Glad I did this all before reinstalling the my apps again LOL! So am I screwed then in regards to getting to protected Apps? I'm wondering if it's the two apk files causing Facebook and Handcent SMS to crash or the build.prop file. Can I just push the two apk files and not the build.prop and still get to protected apps? What is the purpose of the edited build.prop?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] setherd:
OK I tried to follow your steps but once I push the apps to my phone and try to reinstall them I get an error that the application could not be installed on my phone.

Is it because this is a 2.1 app? but everyone else seems to be able to install it.:(

thanks Jeff for all your work!

EDIT: I'm trying a wipe of my phone now
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Hollywood80:
Well i got them to install but then facebook starts to force close.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jeffakajeff:
Ok, so, I got this to work another way, with no complications.

I pushed the build.prop, then instead of pushing the other two .apk files, I simply re-installed:

google apps

market updater

rebooted the phone and it worked.

I dont know how I got the two other files to install, because now I cannot???

I did however get the protected apps to show, and no FC's.

View attachment build.prop.txt

just rename to build.prop
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] setherd:
last night I wiped my phone.

it would boot up after that. according to logcat it was in some kind of loop. SO I did a nandroid restore.

Jeff I just tried your latest technique and it really messes things up for me :)

I did that and now com.google.process.gapps keeps force closing on me.

that means no gmail, calendar, market, etc

so back to doing a restore! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] heavensblade23:
Same thing here.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jeffakajeff:
I dont know why it does not work for you guys, seriously.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] heavensblade23:
I haven't tested it with gsxR, have you tried it with rooted stock?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] heavensblade23:
Might be worth figuring out what exactly the CM port is doing, since protected apps work perfectly if you wipe.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6254099#post6254099

Perhaps taking build.sapphire.prop out of that zip, renaming it to build.prop, and pushing it over will work (maybe with a wipe)?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jeffakajeff:
I tried last night, and did not work!

I will however see if I can figure that out here in the next day or so.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jeffakajeff:

de-ODEXing

Okay, perhaps this is OT, but what benefits does de-ODEXing bring? Is this why some ROMs have all APK files instead? Is it faster/slower that way?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Gerr1985:
Here is what I did and I do NOT have any of the issues any of you have... *Also keep in mind that the 1.2 mytouch is not the same as the 32a or 32b, I found this out the hard way*

Once you root you "1.2" phone and put the root stock rom on it. Link below:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CW970Y4D

Just install all your stuff and setup your google account and launch the market. (I actually installed most of my apps as well, but I do not think its required)

Now flash the gsxR V1.0 (go to page 1 of this forum), once flashed it shouldn't take long I think it was about 5 minutes for me. My swype was now gone but I have the APK (which i've never received a trial alert and have been using for 3 weeks) so I installed using app installer. My market looks completely normal and I can see all apps paid or not.

***As for the reboot/power off issue that was easily worked around with an app on the market called "quickboot" which I tested and it works great with one touch instant reboot/recovery/bootloader***

I've not received a single force close or error.

I hope this helps others. I can upload the apk for swype if needed, I think it may have been posted prior though.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] heavensblade23:
Paid apps aren't the same as protected apps. If your protected apps are missing you wouldn't know unless you searched for one and couldn't find it on the market.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Gerr1985:
Well then I guess you'll have to install prior to flashing the gsxR ROM or save your apk files for now.

At least I hope I was able to help with the "quickboot" app for the reboot issue.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jeffakajeff:
and I shall be second. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GiixxeerR:
I think I found a fix for protected apps, can someone test this build.prop?

http://rapidshare.com/files/378515853/build.prop.html

MD5: 0AC435F4B1EE998174AA04FFAD7AF14A

adb remount

adb push build.prop /system

adb reboot

I don't have a mytouch to test this build.prop so someone please report back.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Gerr1985:
Testing build.prop now...

Negative, still not able to see protected.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GiixxeerR:
d*mn, okay thank you. Ill try some other things out...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] csparkyman:
Swapper

For people having issues with swapper and other command line issues there is an easy fix. Run: adb remount first then adb shell from command prompt/shell and use this commands:

cd /system/xbin/bb

mv -i ./* /system/bin/

Skipping everything there is a duplicate of.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] knny1491:
About to try this, the CM port is very very buggy(Mainly market).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceas909:
market works fine for me on the cm port..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
reboot. my market gave me connection problems before i rebooted for first time. other then that i havent had one bug all day long.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] knny1491:
I needed to reflash, I had cleared all cashe and rebooted but nothing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] edru:
Anyone else get a force close when attempting to edit a contact?

I got this on the stock rom too before and after root, but not on the st0kes port.

Edit: seems like items kind of random, but happens more often than not. No rhyme or reason. 85% of the time it force.closes right when I click edit, but if I get in all is good.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] slickytru5:
My market also works fine on cm port.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] voxluna:
I could be completely wrong, but I'm of the opinion that it's more than just build.prop at fault here. I seem to recall a post that said to copy something else, like MarketProvider.apk and another file, from a different ROM. That supposedly fixed it. I thought I had saved the instructions, but I can't find them right now. :(

gsxR on MT3G LE: Awesome Show (Great Job!)

I installed gsxR*V1.0 last night, and it looks great. Thank you so much to the OP, whose name I can't spell properly right now.

Obvious things: power off & reboot not working, voice search missing (but linked to from Car Home), and the dreaded copy-protected apps issue. It also seems to be considerably slower when rotating the screen.

On the plus side, Google Voice 0.3.2 now works, which is a huge improvement over the 0.2 version we were stuck with.

Other than orientation, speed and responsiveness seem just fine. I have yet to play around with the headset jack/music files. Bluetooth seems to be working properly, as well as WiFi.

I also used Titanium Backup for the first time, and it's amazing -- pretty much restored all my apps and their settings with one touch. Well worth the price. Speaking of which, I'm moving next week, so I can't donate to anyone else right now. ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] erik_foreal:
how do i get this widget from the screen shot, the one with the huge time and weather info
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] erik_foreal:
how do you get swype?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shawn1224:
Yea, I found barcode scanner as well. Those are the 1st two I search for whenever I look for protected apps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] johnny12times:
if you flash this rom, set everything up, visit the market, then nandroid backup, then flash st0kes eclair port, access the market, then restore your nandroid backup, you will be able to see the paid applications. This leads me to believe that the only time the market checks to see if you are allowed to see the protected applications (ie, it doesn't see you as rooted, etc) is when you originally agree to the terms of service. When google doesn't see you needing to have protected apps hidden (essentially, when google doesn't see you as having the ability to steal said apps), it opens the market to your device id, even if you end up flashing back to a previous backup, as long as you aren't forced to agree to the terms of service again, you will be able to see the applications that are protected. At least, this method has worked for me 4 out of 4 times so far. Hope it works for others. Again, GREAT rom!!

EDIT: Just to clarify, I used the 1.4.2 STABLE version of St0kes rom to enable applications.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] johnny12times:
I spoke to soon... after about 15 minutes of market usage this time, it suddenly stopped seeing the applications. It was enough time to get in there and get what I needed downloaded and installed, but after going back in there, I can no longer see them :mad:. I read of a fix for this somewhere some time ago, it involved pushing a particular file, which I had no idea what they were talking about, so I walked away... I'll see if I can hunt that back down now. lol :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crypysmoker:
To save yourself alot of trouble...

load whichever rom you have said apps installed. Find the adb commands for pulling the system/apps folder and ten you will always have a backup. I do this everytime I try a new rom so that any new programs I installed I can just reinstall with Astro
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vista1984:
is wipe a must? i know its recommanded, but alot data in my phone and make me hesitate to try new rom.

Its always recommended because you dont know what apps may be hiding waiting to cause a bootloop but you dont HAVE to. Now, going from a 1.6 to a 2.1 yes, you always have to wipe.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vista1984:
got it, thanks you all for the replies.

I think i will backup and have a try then.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Wow! 10 to 15 minutes to boot??? I was about to give up when it finally popped up. For some reason it loaded the android.process.acore at the very end. I'll work on getting HTC Music working on it (maybe Swype too) and theming it for Community Hero theme. ;)

Edit 1:

Still working on Swype but I was able to get HtcMusic to work easily.

Just push this to /system/app (attached).

I noticed that 180 degree rotation isn't working. :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DavidX_07:
Please don't kill me - I'm new with my HTC Magic ;) is this rom for new or old radio ??

And could someone compare this rom with superD ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
This is a slightly modified STOCK of the MyTouch 1.2/LE/Fender (aka phone with 3.5 mm headset jack)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DavidX_07:
So I can't install it on my HTC Magic ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shawn1224:
Even though it's a 32A board it's not recommended.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Doubtful. The drivers for this device is different than the other MyTouch devices. That is why we have been compromising with our rom making because we don't have the source yet.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Added HTC Music

Here is a version with the HTC Music app added.

It's all that I was able to accomplish so far.

I'm working on Swype but for some reason it's giving me force closes.

Multitouch-gsxR*V1.1

It's the exact same as the original release only the added file (didn't even replace the original Music.apk file).

I also added the Community Hero Mix update for it. Flash the stock included then the themed update file.

CHM-gsxR1.1.zip

Screenshots of the Community Hero Mix are located in this thread.

hi i'm thinking of trying this rom out. however my current rom is cursorsense's one. meaning i updated my radio and spl version. will it be safe if i just do a full wipe and flash this rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] PremierITA:
have you installed this rom on you htc magic 32a?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] elways7777:
thanks everybody

am new to the site and to the rooting process thanks to everybody who does these roms i love it have a my touch 3g 1.2
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
I didn't try it. Try the one from the defanged rom. I'll give it a try myself in a bit.

EDIT: Just tried two different ones. Both just gave force close errors.

No because the OP used the original boot.img from the Fender rom. Since to enable tethering we need netfilter in the kernel. Kernel is in the boot.img.

If you do not have the Fender/LE/1.2/phone with 3.5 mm headphone jack it probably won't work. Try it at your own risk. You all have different spl and radio's so I'm thinking it won't.

Well all help out when/if we can.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] elways7777:
wifi tether

I use the barnacle wifi its not that fast ok with 3g we use it for the kids new ipad in the car works fine i have the 3g 1.2 not the fender thanks again for the great work
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
My personal review

Giving that this is just V1.0 I am actually pretty hopeful in this rom. Especially since there aren't many for the MyTouch yet. I certainly wasn't expecting anything "stable" but this is actually pretty close.

Pros

Seems to be much faster than previous stock.

Stock benches around 14000 with benchmarkpi with all of my widgets and apps. And that was with Swapper running with 10 swappiness on my swap partition (96mb)

This one benches at around 12000 so a pretty good improvement since I'm not using swap.

Additional screens are a plus

Newest Superuser app

For some reason the previous stock rom always wants to wait until much later to mound my sdcard. Which means some of my apps which require access on start up give errors and widgets that have the skin installed on the sdcard start off with the default skin (referring to Pure Messenger Widget in this case) and the SD CARD Memory Wdget always starts off with "unavailable" but this rom on the other hand mounts it earlier so everything works out with little to no errors.

BIG ONE: MULTITOUCH! AT LAST! GOOD JOB ADDING THIS!

Dialer, Contacts, mms, browser all ported from Cyanogen's roms are a great addition!

CONS

I did notice a few things that need improvement.

Voice search does not come installed and you can push it manually but gives force close errors when you try to start it.

Swapper for some reason will not work with this. Just says FAIL when attempting to enable swap.

Screen orientation 180 doesn't work.

No A2SD so why does it say in Settings > SD Card & Phone Storage > SD card secondary = "Unavailable" when I do in fact have an ext4 partition. Haven't attempted to downgrade to ext3 or ext2 but I doubt they would work either.

BIG ONE: Can't power off/reboot the phone! Unless you want to do the "three finger solute" or a battery pull. Maybe if you're at a computer you can adb shell reboot but who always has a computer with them?

Loss of Swype

Still no tethering capabilities (of course since we don't have the kernel source)

No HTC Music app included (unless you use the one that I posted a few posts back)

Bottom line.

For a first start I think it's great. However the only thing that I like about this is that it seems snappier and the mulitouch. I think that not being able to safely shut down the phone can cause problems so I think that I'm going to wait until that can be resolved before I switch over. In the meantime I already have just about everything that this rom has to offer except the multitouch and the included sms and browser apps.

So this thread is definitely worth subscribing to or bookmarking to check up on the progress.

Good work! :)

PS Attached is the logcat for the shutdown issue. I can't make anything out of it but maybe someone can.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Aeikozz:
i thought swype was like mandatory by now..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zmattmanz:
How did I miss this when it was up for a day? And multitouch? I can't wait to try this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] heavensblade23:
So how did you manage to make this after months of people trying with no luck? What ended up being the trick, and what do we still need to know?

At this point we have stock roms for both Fender and MyTouch 1.2...

We seemingly have a way of making working custom ROMs...

Still waiting on:

-Source from HTC

-2.1 OTA update

Anyone missing swype, I just found shape writer and slide it in market. Pretty damn close
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadow.8:
Anyone tried Google Voice in this rom? Seems very encouraging, thanks for everyones work! :)

EDIT: to be more specific, has anyone tried Google Voice v0.3.2, which I believe is the latest. I know 0.2 works on the stock rom but I don't know why the latest doesn't...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] voxluna:
I'm wondering, is there a thread that lists ROMs which do in fact work on the MyTouch 1.2/LE/Fender? gsxR*V1.0 would be the first one I've seen that's worth considering, e.g. Bluetooth works, no serious compromises, etc.

If there's not a thread like that, perhaps someone would be willing to maintain one, updating it as new ROMs become available? I myself have just been sitting back, watching things evolve -- like WesGarner getting his hands on a 1.2 -- so I've been out of this loop.

BTW, Binary, I should probably donate to you next. You and crypysmoker have been some of the best advocates for this phone from the beginning. Thank you!

Now, I'm seriously considering flashing this thing and having a look-see....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] voxluna:
I'll be especially interested in whether we can now use the newest version of Google Voice with this, or be stuck with the fallback to 0.2? I'm going to try it myself, but it will be a while before I can report results.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vantix:
Going to hold off on flashing this till Swype gets working. I don't think I could get by without it anymore.

So glad to finally see a rom come out though. As Binary mentioned earlier I have high hopes for this as it is just v1.0.

Binary if you make any progress on Swype, please respond asap. I'm eager to flash this puppy.

Keep up the great work!

A donation would be cool! You would be the very first.

In regards to the OTHER MT3G Fender roms there is the odexed version and I made a de-odexed version which at least two themes have been made (to include my own Community Hero Mix... see signature for details)

I've been trying but it looks like someone already beat me to it.

I'll have to give it a shot now.

Good work. I still need to give it a shot but it should work.

Hmm, seems further research needs to be done into this... Anyone else have any other results with Google Voice?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
Anyone else getting flooded by private messages and e-mails regarding this rom?

I've responded to 4 pm and 2 private e-mail messages just for this!

Just to let people know that you should made a nandroid backup prior to flashing this just in case you don't like it.

If your planning on rooting your device just so that you can use this then it's probably not going to be worth it because you'll lose some functions (like Swype, voice search and the ability to reboot/power off) and gain practically nothing (5 screens but easily fixed by replacing the Launcher).

This is all just my advice of course.

(maybe now the e-mails will stop)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
