In your opinion, what is missing/faulty in this 7.0 version ?

I am asking this, because I am considering updating from 6.10 ... but until now 6.10 seemed to be the most stable version, with everything working, no FC's and no Battery Drain

P.S. - I asked before but no one answered and all the instructions on previous versions were erased from 1st post.

If I want to flash 6.13.1 do I need to wipe ? Or can I flash it on top of 6.10 ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] betelgeuse74:
Changelog of 0.6.x is in the second post (on first page).

You have to wipe to install 0.6.13 (and then nowipe to 0.6.13.1)

I would wait and see what Klothius releases in the next couple of days. I still think that 0.7.x will be the best Smoki yet, but since it is a new base (European Hero release) it probably needs some time and tweaks before all the quirks are removed....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kumakun:
any news from Klothius ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] betelgeuse74:
I think he is busy with exams...

But I know he is working on something (together with Capychimp)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] myduino:
Hi,

I am new to this. Do I have to wipe data/factory reset before flashing smoki 0.7.

Now I am on smoki 0.6.13.1

thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
yes you have.

please read first post on this topic... has all answers
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fezzawinkle:
Hi, I have three questions

1. any news on new JIT for Smoki 0.7

2. are my Quick System Info figures normal:

3, linpack?

AS2D Storage 457MB Free 404MB

Internal Storage 166MB Free 63.02MB

System Storage 170MB Free 11.34MB

System Cache 129MB Free 128MB

Memory: 191MB Free 40.49MB Idle 5,28MB

Linpack 2.50 after kill all apps

thx
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
i have some big slowness sometimes... almost stops responding... and some FC's of some aplications like taskiller pro...

sorry but i don't have logcat of this...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crisvillani:
@ fezzawinkle I don't think those settings are normal it seems that your cache didn't move that's why u have low internal storage , and that's why your cache partition is so high
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
He's using apps2sd....it's normal ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crisvillani:
My bad : D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Yeah, we might have more stable JIT, but that I need to speak to sanpei first and he has to, say, decide :) BUT in the meantime, when I get out the 0.7.1, I'll put out JIT too, but I guess it won't be the stable one yet. I already said above for apps2sd and for linpack...yeah....it's normal :)

Yeah, it seems that the weather animations have again cause it, but over longer periods of time now -.- They will be removed in next version again unfortunately.

Yeah, I haven't slept for three days, then I got home in the morning, slept 'till now and I'm gonna go to sleep soon :D As for the update, capy is finishing up on the language and I might have something more to change, so tomorrow is the update probably.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kumakun:
take care !
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] chiuuuuu:
I am using 0.7 and i am facing one problem:

the phone shows "discharging" in the HTC battery widget when I connect the phone to PC with the usb cable (the cable comes with the phone by HTC).

I like your rom so much and want to know any method to fix it please, thank so much!

p.s. I faced the same problem with 0.6.12 before too (the phone was charging fine with version 0.6.9 and before)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] myduino:
Without knowing anything I swipe battery stats and wipe rotate settings before flashing to smoki 0.6. Now my battery drain so fast and no longer have landscape mode.

How can I restore the setting?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
There is no way, but do a wipe and flash 0.7. It should solve :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Then I guess that's a problem with the kernel, but I cannot help you except maybe create a special boot.img for you specifically from the old kernel build.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] myduino:
Even though I reflash 0.6.13
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
You have to do a wipe before that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] RodmanPT:
Klothius I am using 6.10 and it's very stable, with no problems. I use my Magic for professional purposes, do you think it's worth it, to upgrade to 6.13.1 or even 7.0 or should I let me stay as I am ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Well 0.7 is stable enough, faster than before, smoother and also might have some bugs from previous build fixed. BUT there is a leak in memory again and also I will be bringing some more improvements in the upcoming update, so I suggest you stay there where you are, for now :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
can i get rid of weather animation leaks by myself?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] RodmanPT:
Ok I will follow your advice, and wait for the next updates.

I hope your exams went well :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Only if you remove HtcWeatherWallpaper.apk from /system/app. Delete it how ever you wish and reboot. Done deal :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
i turned off animations... will test to see if it works... if not i will remove it as you said...

thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] RodmanPT:
Novidades ? (any news ?)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
for now is ok.... but it takes time until it gets slower... if it gets slower again i will report
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] andriewang:
my phone became dead twice while i remove files in /system/app with root explorer(old version)

At that time wifi is open
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] brugazz:
Issues...

The 0.7 has a few issues:

-Sometimes while plugged the phone stops charging;

-When the phone is off and plugged if I turn it on it stops charging and shows a higher level of battery than the expected (20%+).

-This is the most annoying... The market is not working properly. When I try to view my downloads it crashes and returns to the main menu.

-Sometimes the market gets stuck at "starting download".

-Could not find some apps like Lithium Player (paid nor free), titanium backup (paid).

These problems I report I did not have them on the smoki 0.6.13.

Ciao
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] desmphil:
Same issue with Market.

Like you guys, i reverted.

There are some apps that i've paid that doesn't show up either.

I can't see any Rogers Apps and TD Bank (canada)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] krifos:
Reverted as well, vacation tomorrow, and the 0.6.13.1 was supersmooth so going back to that one, too many strange bugs, and I won't risk the 3G-bug when going abroad, even though if it's only to install some APN-switcher.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Stevak:
the issue of charging was also in version 0.6.13.1 and especially if you connect your phone to the car charger (last day my Magic with the sygic Drive is off and I'm lost in a big city :mad: - So I realized the battery was not charging).

Seems to be a problem with the new OC kernel and only Sanpei can fix it.

@ Klothius: you are in contact with Sanpei ... it alerts you?

Thanks.

Stevak.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] archongtv:
I tested today car charger problem - I think this is connected with type of connection - when I've connected USB cable to normal usb charger, which gives only voltage, ROM didn't recognized it. When I've connected it to FM transmiter which has USB port (and which it can read mp3s from pendrive) phone discovered it and asked me what I want to do with it - I choosed only charging and it worked.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Google did something with the market or whatever and they've killed protected apps in this hero 2.1 ota....they said they've fixed it, but it seems it's not fixed for us for some reason...will take a look at it.

-Yes it does stop charging after you reboot your phone while it's plugged to pc (haven't tested with normal charger) and that's pretty much usual stuff going from 0.6.12 and thus effecting 0.6.13 and because here I used the same kernel, it's present here - this has already been talked about

-Same thing goes for this line too....but in case of battery charging, it does show the correct level if your battery stats are all right. The thing with it showing higher values is because it seems that kernel charges really slow or in other words, from 80 to 100 is almost impossible to get under hour or more if the phone is on....when you get close to full, like 95 percent, reboot and you'll see that the phone is probably already at 100 percent. Nothing I can fix there and that was present from the start of new radio 2.1 kernel

-That market problem was in 0.6.13 and 0.6.12 and also some previous build(s) and is present here, but that just means market is reloading and the second time you try to go to downloads tab, you'll get there. This thing is also present in xda tapatalk app.

-That one is old one...very old lol....try logging into gtalk or if not, reboot the phone...that's just some google stuff

-The missing apps problem is because google screwed something with the official ota update for hero, but they said they've fixed it, but I really don't know why isn't it fixed for us too as I haven't changed anything regarding this. I might take a better look at this one after the update as I don't have time nor the energy to do that now unfortunately. This problem is not present in 0.6.13....in that one we agree :)

Btw you may or may have not experienced those above problems with previous builds, but I can guarantee you that all those that I said were in previous ones are, in fact, there. It's just the matter of luck that you did not get them :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] barkleyc:
friendstream and plurk

dear klothius:

Thanks for nice ROM.

I use smoki 0.7 now.

Could you please add the friendstream which has PLURK in it? Like the asian version in DESIRE. That's an important widget for Asian, especially Taiwanese.

Besides, there is a problem in internet sharing (netshare). It shows "unable to turn off". However, I also can't turn on it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ch3w:
dark

hey, i wiped phone and sdcard flashed 7rebuild, am getting a FC

(The process com.android.phone) has stopped unexpectedly then it's darkness, well the clock is working fine and 3g but never gets to the setup, and the search button is not responding.. could it be a bad flash ?

MD5 : 0fce5ed11d72f341f16c8746be35c76a is fine
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Hmmm....I haven't really understood where exactly do you get that FC ? I mean is it right before setup wizard or somewhere or what ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ch3w:
right before setup wizard..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Remove your SIM card and try again. The workaround that I wrote now is also available on the first page ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ch3w:
ok mate.. i thought that was in case i had a pin code for the sim ;)

i downloded 7rebuild again, i'll try flashing W/O sim. thanx

EDIT: just deleted non mine files and booted without sim no FC am in Setupwiz now :)

My issues (and fix)

I have a Vodafone Magic (PVT32A) that I use here in the states. It has an 8GB MicroSD (that came with it) and its running 6.35 Radio, 1.76 HBOOT and recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H.

First time around I wiped/factory reset, wiped davik, wiped SD (but no partition) and flashed. I had ALL sorts of issues though, quick battery drain, no HTC widgets (even after clearing data) and weird problems with sense lockups, also clearing sense data would make sense sit there for about 30-45min.

I decided this time to wipe/factory, wipe davik, wipe SD (and partition, 128mb swap, 512mb ext3), flash .7 AND reset UIDs.

On this reboot, Sense took over an hour (2:38pm to 3:45pm) to do its thing and STILL no HTC apps, I decided to clear data and this only took 5min and bing, all HTC sense apps.

Other issues seemed to have stopped too. Few other things I did differently were;

setup google account and exchange account AFTER sense setup, didn't link facebook or twitter account till after sense setup as well.

Things are running wonderfully, this is my first shot at a sense rom since cursorsense a few months ago, I've been running SuperD and this rom is stupid fast compared to all the other ones I've tried since I got the Magic. I'm extremely pleased sofar. Great work!

Some of the above might have already been covered in another post (though, I read all of them and don't remember it - my short-term memory is shot though) but I wanted to give some details into my issues and fix.

Also, I've found that my Vodafone magic is an oddball, most seem to be 32Bs. I bought it off newegg late last year for AT&T network, though it doesn't support the 3G bands AT&T has (just 3G on T-Mobile).

Anyways, hope this helps someone out.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] brugazz:
Thanks for the explanation stevak!

By the way... There's another issue I forgot to mention:

-The keyboard indicator (horizontal flashing bar on the text area) sometimes jumps to the upper line when space is typed after a word. This bug is not always present, it happens occasionally.

@Klothius

Thanks for the quick and detailed answers! About the missing apps, I'll wait for google team to answer me before I go back flash the previous version only to get Lithium Player back

Ciao
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ryanhein:
Great ROM, almost full features, smooth fast and stable for daily use.

Thank you soo ooo much for your great rom. Now I can upgrade from version 0.5.6. As I use news reader widget and Friend Stream that's absent from 0.6.x

But one minor bug report, about the News widget, everytime I swype the screen to the page with News widget and it tries to update the news feed, a screen with "Smoki" popped up and Sense try to reload itself.

Also, when I try to restore the applications from Titanium backup, some appa caused FC, and I need to download it from Market again.

It may not be the problem from rom,i can't tell.but just wanna raise up the problem here for discussion.

Finally, now GPS is works perfectly when I turn it on without rebooting the phone. It can locate my position correctly.

I wanna kiss you klothius. Thank you very much! And thank you to other devs who contributed in this rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] checko55:
Hi!

I really like your rom, and its really stable and fast. But is there any chance to get rid of this bug with losing the signal (no I am not talking from this ****ty iPh***). ;-)

I have to flash the GSM Fix in all Hero Ported Roms like yours and the Roms from Capychimp. The only roms I dont need the Fix are Legend or Desire Ports. What are they doing different and why does this happen to the Hero Roms?

thanks in advance
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vchan:
Hi, happened to know that you are from Hong Kong as well. Just wanna ask if Chinese is now available in the ROM (I know that it still says coming later on the first page). I am still using 0.6.12 as it has Chinese.

Besides, I found that when a contact person has both home and cell phone numbers and if they are both dialed, the mobile phone number will be treated as home by the phone as the letter H is put in front of the cell phone number (just on the page when the button phone is pressed - it's ok elsewhere, say the call log). Have you seen such problem in 0.7?

Thank you very much.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ykphuah:
I realized this too! I think the problem is with FriendStream and News, once i add this two widget on screen, Sense Reload seems to happen quite often, I tried removing the two widgets, but that doesn't seems to solve anything. Needed a factory reset to make sure it doesn't Sense Reload again!

Another small minor bug, when I add a "Direct Message" or "Direct Call" shortcut on the main screen, there's no difference between the two, there used to be an overlay over the contact avatar that differentiates between this two, maybe the overlay image got accidentally removed?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] elmig:
some crashes on 0.7

hi all,

i'm experiencing some crashes. I reinstalled some apps that crashed but robotdefence keeps crashing.

I spotted this on logcat:

I/AudioPolicyService( 112): stopOutput(): before lock
E/ApplicationContext( 3894): Couldn't create directory for SharedPreferences file /data/data/com.magicwach.rdefense_free/shared_prefs/AndroidDefense.xml
W/ApplicationContext( 3894): Unable to create files directory
D/AndroidRuntime( 3894): Shutting down VM

Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Well from those 4 lines, we can only see that it cannot create a file that needs to be created for that app, but nothing else. I don't know if this is something with the app or a bad flash or you just did something, but it's not something usual for this ROM lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sum_guy55:
How long until the next update?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] elmig:
/data/data/... is usual?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
I said that issue is probably not something rom related. Data/data is where all settings and such for all apps are stored.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sum_guy55:
installed 0.7 and when i restart it deletes any apps i have installed??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
No? What exactly happened and you don't have any app ? I mean how do you know it has deleted apps? Are there apps in app drawer? Are there apps in data/app folder ? Are there apps present in manage applications ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sum_guy55:
so i install and application it is in menu runs fine turn off my phone turn it back on its not there goto market to redownload the app it says next to it installed press it then it has the option to install/cancel re install it and it works until i restart my phone again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Deviser:
I've always had this problem too....I've tried many ROM's and always found this bug in every single one, from CursorSense to Smoki....Not sure if this is related to Portuguese language or not...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rodzyneck:
Thx again klothius, 0.7 is perfect! :)

...almost :P I've noticed a funny thing. When I had no GSM/3G/whatever reception, GPS also couldn't find any satellites... it kinda sucked because i didn't know where to go :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hedcayce:
I have a question. I switched back to this rom because I'm covering for my boss this week and I needed something stable with reliable messaging. I need to send group texts to 20-25 people at a time. I went to do this, the messaging program kicks an error and says I can only send to 10 at a time. Is there a way I can correct this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Deviser:
Maybe you could try Handcent SMS...I think it can send messages to more than 10 people at a time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hedcayce:
That's what I'm doing as a workaround, but it's a giant pain in the tail, IMHO. I kinda hate it.

Thanks for the info though;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Stevak:
:confused:

I do not understand...

"horizontal flashing bar" or vertical ?

Are you sure?

anyway ... the keyboard works fine for me.

PS.

have you solved the problem of recharging the battery with the Car charger?

Sanpei! HELP! :eek:

Where is hidden Sanpei?

Let's look Sanpei! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Deviser:
Vertical, you're right. It's really annoying because for every word you have to select again the text area.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Bootvi:
I've found a Bluetooth problem, if anyone else has encountered/tested this please give some feedback.

Whenever I pair and I am connected to a Bluetooth car speaker or personal earpiece, the call is heard on the normal phone speaker (not loud speaker). I have to press Menu -> BT handset on.

And even that does not always work (usually with my car speaker, it never works)

I don't know if it's a bug in the ROM or the configuration I've missed, but in all other ROM's I've tried in the past, this was not the case: call was immidiatly heard by default on the BT Speaker.

It is an important issue as it is car safety issue.

Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Stevak:
try changing the keyboard nationality.

Stevak.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Well it's really weird as I have not changed a thing that HTC did here....so whatever HTC threw out, you got :/ Did 0.6.13 or some other 0.6 version build worked ok for you ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] brugazz:
Now I would like to say that the bar is horizontal when one positions the phone horizontally... but there's auto rotate... so...

I meant VERTICAL BAR! (Vertical as the Pizza Tower... almost).

Hi there

Has everyone noticed that camera issue is presented? From time to time, while camera app is starting it takes you back to the home screen, camera starting disabled.

After phone is restarted, camera works fine

I can't find some apps on market, for e.g smart keyboard
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] marcimix:
It's all the same to me but the camera sometimes resets the phone and specially pay application does "not" exist from me ;(

klothius please fix it :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kassy_ok:
I don't know if someone else experienced this but my battery drains super fast !!!

I charged it in the night and by the morning it was 30 % !!!!! i didn't use anything, no wifi, gps, nothing..

Where is the problem here?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Bootvi:
Hi

I tried on 0.6.13 as well and it does the same, BT is off by default, even when paired and connected to Phone Audio. On my SuperTooth One even pressing BT Audio On does not divert the sound to it.

As this is important to me, I'm gonna try some more ROM's to see what's going on. In Cyanagon mod it worked flawlessly for example.

Smoki is a great ROM overall, had some lockups with the camera but overall I liked it :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Deviser:
I have this issue, too.

@MMartins: Have you ever suffered from text cursor jumping up to the messages after adding a word?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cypis:
Klothius :) When we can expect new JIT or new update ? :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] brugazz:
Battery drain...

I noticed it last night... Mine wasted about 40% of battery overnight. I had Wifi and GPS off but 3G was not off.

Ciao

Update:

No battery drain with my MAGIC!!

- After a few tests with the 3G on/off I concluded that the cause of the quick battery drain was the HSPA (3,5G) continuos connection. There's a background app using the connetcion recurrently.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] singa89:
i experienced that too! when i was in landscape qwerty mode.
