Need Help

I installed this rom and it's running. Is my Magic rooted already?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kkannan1982:
I had a problem in sending files from estrongs file manager... tried to send a mp3 file, it failed
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] yoongmy:
me also the same, but i can send picture.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
If you wish to send files through bt, you can use photos app or galery tp send pics and vids, music app to send music files and the rest can be sent with some other app that can support it...I know root explorer supports it, but I don't know which one supports it too.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] chungzi:
Hi klothius,

I had try to send music file using root explorer, but it always break connection suddenty, Is it bluetooth or apps issue?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] b33:
Here's one weird thing, i don't know how the service is called so i will try to explain:

You know that service that sends a message to the caller when our phone isn't available?

Today i noticed that my father's phone received some of them regarding my phone,

to my surprise, it said something like this ( but in portuguese ):

If you want to call this phone, call 00351XXXXXXXXX

Orange

We use both TMN ( a portuguese carrier ) and they have a similar service, i don't if this is due to my father going to spain a few days, but i suspect something is wrong with my phone, normally this type of message comes from TMN, not orange, i barely know that it is a phone carrier

i would appreciate some help,

thanks :)

First, where you bought your device from? Was it brand new & the pack HTC sealed?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Cliff Edge:
Annoying things:

1. I open a contact and make a call. Conversation is finished so android once again shows contact details. But it takes ~1 minute to get contact details loaded.

2. A lot of FC happen when there are problems with signal. Also phone can freeze, reboot etc.

3. When you write a sms, screen gets locked. You unlock it and.. you lose everything because android goes back to home screen. Facebook app too. Gmail app goes back to inbox. I don't remember such thing on 1.5.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Anyone see this?

@klothius, all update in the future will be based on this rogers 2.1?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] driver2110:
with astro file manager you can sent files through bt no matter what kind of files they are.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ferreinf:
:) :) :)

allready seen that info. :)

Klothius would u give us the pleasure :D :D :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mrsaccess:
Most probably rogers 2.1 will be based on Smoki. :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alistairfang:
Does anybody have the problem that after finishing a longer call, probably 5 mins, the phone will be freezed and need to remove the battery?

Or it just how JIT works?

thanks,

Alistair
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Unfortunately, that is just an announcement....the real deal will come after google aproves it plus they start sending it and we get a link to an update or, the more likely thing, when either one of them (htc, rogers) releases their executables updates on their sites.

In either way, no, this next one won't be based on official thing, but I'll fix up the real killer problems in it. The only things I can say to you right now is that all of you speed/responsiveness addicts that had been going all h8 style will have something to play with, plus hebrew and arabic has been integrated(full hebrew, but arabic seems to be stubborn with my apps, it's being looked at by capy...thanks mate :)), one of the bugs with longer history has been corrected...oh yeah...Weather Animations will be back ;) (I still need to test this for prolonged use, but it seems stable enough for this last half an hour of torture) and battery was interesting for me today as I had a high 3G internet torture, a few mid-long calls(10-15mins each), watched a tv show (was on my sdcard) and played some games....and from time to time waking up the phone for just swiping around screens (I'm a swipe addict :D) and that added up to a cumulative of around 4h and 20minutes of awake time and about 21h of up time in total before I got that last 5 percent left(just as a comparative, I usually had around 3h of awake time before I had to recharge...and I always torture my phone...don't have a laptop, so this is pretty much like a replacement :D). I had changed some settings now unfortunately as it was necessary to make weather animations work ok, so I'll test today again and we'll see....either way, battery life is definitely not worse than it is in 0.7.8. Oh and you're getting 17.4MB back from data partition to use freely as you wish (in return, you'll have to wait one minute longer for it to boot every time, but that's not a big thing really). If there is something about apns and stuff like that that you need me to change/add for the next release, speak now ;) (please don't ask stuff like legend mail widget and such porting stuff as I'll be very busy in the next few days).

1) I don't have that problem

2)When there are problems with signal?? What do you mean exactly ? I haven't had a FC from 0.7.6, so telling me also what apps are FCing would help

3)As far as I know/remember, whenever you let the screen lock while you're doing something, when you unlock it, it will be on the same exact spot as you left it.

It seems to me that you're having some RAM/swap insufficiency problems, but it's strange as I never experienced that myself. If you're using some autokiller or that app for adjusting androids integrated oom killer, delete them, don't use them and set the values for androids internal killer to default of the rom. I will most specifically not support problems for the next build if using that app as I have made some very strict adjusting to the androids internal killer plus most of the "free" RAM will be taken up for some other stuff, but you won't notice it, it'll in fact be even snappier.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] andriewang:
klothius, I'm using 0.7.7

I find mobile network always on after receiving MMS, even I open wifi, the "E" is still shown on the status bar

Hi all

I have been using FroyoRider for a while now, but miss my camera, so I have been thinking about returning to Smoki.

I would like to get some Linpack and Quadrant Standard (Full benchmark) scores first to get an idea of the current rom speeds, so can someone who have it running smooth post some tests?

Does Smoki support flash (I seem to remember it did)?

One last thing I have been missing in all my rom's: Support for animated gif's in the browser. I know it should be in 2.2, but FroyoRider don't have it. Do Smoki (Need it for weather sites, as they always use gif's)?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Cliff Edge:
I mean, when the signal is weak. ;) You know, it happens in buildings etc. :P I was on a music festival a few days ago. A friend told me he had sent me a sms, which I haven't received. When it finally came to my phone, android rebooted. :eek:

Ad 3. I don't use auto task killers. I have "Task Manager" (which was AFAIR bundled with Smoki) but I haven't changed anything there.

I'm waiting for next release, maybe it will work better ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Remobero:
linpack : 2.48 with no jet

will post some quadrant results later
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] b33:
i'm sorry for quoting myself, but i'm really eager for an answer
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
I really don't have a clue why you would receive a message from orange if you are on tmn. Basically, they are the ones writing and sending out those messages, so I cannot help you with that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Nope, gifs ain't working here, but there could be a way to implement it....but still, that requires changing the libwebcore and thus a possibility of breaking a lot of other stuff. Flash, though, is working just fine.

Quadrant and linpack aren't really a measure for anything, so don't take that as a performance benchmarks. I can tell you that I got 2.6 on my yesterdays run without jit with linpack and 243 in quadrant. I haven't tried with jit.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] avicho:
klothius - when the new release is going out?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] velvel:
Accounts & Sync

Hi all

I am getting FC every time when trying to open Accounts & Settings (com.htc.settings.accountsync). This started recently after installing LauncherPro, GTasks and 3banana notes and switching to LauncherPro. Does anyone have similar issue?

Thanks,

Vel
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] b33:
ok thanks, but it's really weird since i never had any association with orange, the first thing it ocurred me was some hidden configuration on the rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mrsaccess:
Is there a way to change the default swappiness of the ROM? I tried the linux usual sysctl.conf but it didn't worked. I also searched for the /system/bin/user.conf but I didn't find it.

The current value of 5 is very low and for us that we have a loaded phone results to really bad behavior: sense reloading all the time, android asking for applications to force close or wait, stalls, unresponsive apps (like the dialer).

I am testing a more sane value (30) for some hours and the phone really rocks, every problem I mentioned is solved.

My phone is loaded with many apps. Some of them run constantly in the background (like no-lock widget, pingchat, paypal app, 3g watchdog, netcounter). This results to constantly full RAM and with the low swappiness value the android system keeps closing and opening all these apps, making essentially unneeded cycles.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Bladyle:
Try this app: http://code.google.com/p/a-swapper/
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mrsaccess:
Thank you. Unfortunately this app won't help me. Smoki already has 128MB of swap. It is just the swappiness value that prevents imo swap from being used effectively. For now I set swappiness' value manually after boot from a shell and I search for a more automated way...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Bladyle:
I understand ..but you can use this app. Go to settings-swappines and make program to run at startup. It work for me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mrsaccess:
Ah! Thanks again! The first time I ran it superuser didn't grant it permissions so it seemed that it didn't work and I thought it was faulty. After your message I gave it one more try and worked fine. I won't reboot yet though, I want to see how the phone will behave with more than 24 hours uptime. For now the swap is nearly full.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Install the app pack. It's due to you not wiping and system expecting stocks app to be there ;)

Soon as in probably tomorrow night. I have been busy with personal life two days before and today I was playing mafia 2....and finished the game actually lol so I'm all android tomorrow :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] velvel:
And yes, you are right. I've installed it first time and then tried to install Power Control which make Smoki unbootable.

When flashed Smoki second time and doing nandroid restore, I did not install app pack and as sync (guess I've never went to Accounts & Sync) was working, I thought I do not need it.

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mrsaccess:
Another thing I noticed is that the zipalign script runs before the apps2sd script. So if someone uses apps2sd his apps never get zipaligned at boot. Is this the intended behavior?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
The script doesn't even have a support for apps2sd, but I could make it zipalign apps on card too.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mrsaccess:
I don't know much about Android (I know about Linux though) but it seems to me that if you just rename the script from 09zipalign to 51zipalign it will run without problems in both cases (apps2sd or not) except if zipalign has to run with different parameters for apps2sd.

For me when 09zipalign runs on boot it just finds an empty /data/app/ and does nothing. If I run it manually after boot it works fine, although most apps are already ziplaligned so it isn't a big issue.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nevoX:
Please add to next release fullscreen weather animation. Not default, only option to enable it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
just grab htcweatherwallpaper from an older release or rcmix and push then you have it, but your phone will be come slow and laggy if you use it
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
As I already said, Weather Wallpapers (or Weather Animation as you call it) will be back in the next release as I've fixed it...and it will be on by default, you can disable it later if you don't need it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
nice man, great job
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nevoX:
Great! So I'm looking forward to the next release.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:

great work!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ack1029:
I find a little problem , the alarm had twice time ring without notify screen lock , and I should get in task manager to stop the alarm
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
0.8 is uploaded on sourceforge for anyone interested, it'll be officially up soon, but if there's anyone interested in testing it out first, go ahead :) Btw JIT isn't available and do not use the 0.7.x one. I'll make another pack when this goes official. I recommend doing a wipe.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dekimaks:
here we are
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
As I said, it's on sourceforge :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mrsaccess:
I installed 0.8 without wiping (against your recommendations :p) and thus far the ROM looks great! The only thing I had to do was to clear manually (erase the files) from the dalvik-cache folder since the first boot failed with the phone complaining for low space (logical of course).

The phone until now stays always responsive. I set it to update two big apps from the market. In the same time it checked for new emails and yet the phone was perfectly responsive for the user (me). I don't think I've ever seen this with my magic! Bravo!

The boot, as you said, was slow (and the more apps you have the slower it get I guess) but I can live with that.

Of course I have to use it for many more hours before I reach to any conclusions but until now it looks GREAT! Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mrsaccess:
Hmm, the second boot took significantly less time.

Here is a problem I have: the accelerometer and the orientation sensor doesn't work. They do not give any values. Could it be me doing a no wipe update or a driver issue?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Interesting that the phone was complaining about low space as I've made the update possible to do without wipping and because of that, I've set it to delete dalvik cache on install...but I guess as long as it works, it's all good :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Hmm...well the driver is there and I've tried both no wipe and wipe and both times it worked....It could be a bad install.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mrsaccess:
Thanks! Since it is on my end I'll investigate and report!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mrsaccess:
Wiping rotation stats from recovery did the trick!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cara666:
klothius, I downloaded the 0.8 ROM and tried to flash it after wiping data but it says the file signature verification failed and the installation is aborted.

Is there any problem with the file?

Do I need to flash Partition layout before flashing the 0.8 ROM?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
There is no problem with the file. Try to re-download it and I hope you did extract the zip that said extract me with big letters :D

If you already flashed the partition layout before and you haven't changed anything, no, there is no need to fash it again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] marcimix:
If appears new fix version (again :D) Please add new apn list. If you forget ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Rendarion:
After i flashed with no wipe, my phone prompts me about low memory too.

After rm * in dalvik-cache this error is gone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Give me apn settings for your provider.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nevoX:
Thanks! 0.8 is great, fast and stable but...

in changelog 0.7.6, you wrote: -Added legend browser

But I haven't the new browser. There isn't wiki search or selecting with magnifier.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Because it's not complete :D You've got selecting and copying, but not that magnifier unfortunatelly.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nevoX:
Understand ;)

Maybe talk with sanpei. In his ROM is new browser.

Anyway, good luck ;P
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
which rom and how is it newer?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nevoX:
Legend sense or something like that. I was using it before Smoki.

Eris sense has older browser too.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
legend says why it has the function your missing, cause it's a legend rom ported, then it works but the rom is slower
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nevoX:
True, slow, that's why I strated using Smoki.

So I can only wait? There is no option to force put new browser to Smoki like other apps?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
if we put that browser in form legend you get what you have now, the wiki part and that is not just in the browser, thats why your missing it, don't count on it that fast, if it become possible at some point i am sure it will be added, otherwise if it's important, use a legend port
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
There are all sorts of browsers out there on the market :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nevoX:
Newer browser would be only a nice addition. Stable is on the first place, so I'll stay with Hero port and Smoki ;) It is very good ROM and I like it. Only one with flip clock - great feature ;P

Thanks for answers!

klothius, did you test rom with carz 2.6.34 kernel? Will it work? Or it's for CM6 only?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
there's still some thing needed to be changes in his kernel for it to work proper with sense roms ;) and cam still doesn't work
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] NikPraskaton:
Try Opera Mini.. and set it to default browser.

Using this latest rom for a while and no crashes, im very satisfied.. :cool: The only issue is battery since im constantly connected to the internet via gprs. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] davidcal:
capychimp, Thanks for the update of Hebrew, it works great ..

Now what do you think is better, the Smoki or RCMIX 1.81? They both look the same to me
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
i don't know, i wont say one is better than the other, cause it is so different how people feel the roms, some like one more than others, some say weee rcmix some weee aosp or weee smoki, so it is very relative and up to everyone individually
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] avicho:
smoki, i'v been testing the rom and it's laggy like the old versions when they were enabled by the weather animation...

problems in wake up and such things...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Interesting as you're the only one complaining so far and I've been using this for a few days now and around two days without a reboot and it was all ok. I have one question for you tho....are you using AutoKiller or something like that ? Any kind of task manager that alters the internal android task killer is not supported at all as the memory is already full (it won't show that in any app, but it is), so if you do lower the values for it, it'll break. It could also be something else, but I won't know it until you've answered my question above. In either case, I do recommend a reboot after initial setup and install of apps(yeah, it will say that when I post it officially).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] avicho:
i dont use any of autokiller programs... i'v installed the apps and hebrew...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
excuse me what hebrew you installed?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] avicho:
it's maybe because of the hebrew lang or fonts?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] avicho:
i'v installed the hebrew fonts zip file in the sourceforge site
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Well then, do you know how much free memory left did you had after managing to start it up from sleep? Or did you just do a reboot? Also if you did managed to wake it up from sleep, did it work ok after then or ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] avicho:
i dont know how many, but i'v manged to wake it up, but's its still laggy..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Interesting. So...you're using the phone as is right now? With that lag ? If so, check for free memory....also is starting apps taking forever or is it about normal?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] avicho:
checking free memory. the phone is very very slow...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] avicho:
free memory is 15.79 from 191mb..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Unfortunately, I'll have to take another 2mins from your time to check for opened apps....again in quick system info. Just to make sure what's running.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] avicho:
where to check? in the processes?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
yup

Ten char.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] avicho:
ok there is the list:

bluetooth share

com.htc.bgp

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Just that? Hmmm...well when weather animations leak memory they stay in the background and every single process stays in memory. You've got a normal amount of apps opened and there's no weather wallpaper app. Could you do a reboot and check tomorrow if it happens again? I'll make 0.8 pre-release one day more to see if there's someone else with this problem and also to see if you get it again. I would appreciate it if you did this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] avicho:
i will do so...and i'v to say that now its back to run smoothly, i dont know why..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] avicho:
and now in the quick info i see the weather wallpaper shows
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Again...interesting lol. I might even know what could be wrong. Do me a favor and type on your pc
