Happened with 0.7.7... then I updated to 0.7.8... same issue

and yes I read the BIG RED letters and tried without the SIM there was no difference. I can't get to setupwizard because i cant get past the animation.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
You do realize that everyone that had the exact same logcat solved it with removing the simcard ? It stops at point where it tries to get your provider, but it fails seeing it on the simcard and kills the system. When you don't have a simcard in, it doesn't check anything and it lets you go through. So...download again just in case of a bad download, take the simcard out, flash it, boot it, set it up and put the simcard back in. Oh and don't forget to remove all android created stuff on the sdcard.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] midnightmach:
Yeah i followed all your steps and can't seem to make it work... i've been trying other roms and none of them will boot up properly so I guess there is something wrong with my phone...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] avicho:
klothius

I'm using all the day 0.8 rom pre release2 and it works great, smooth and with noo fc and slowwness. so from my point of view;) u can release the official rom

and u also can jump from 0.8 to 1.0 - because it's seem perfect..:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] siraf:
it has been a while since i upgraded my smoki. is it worth the trouble to go from my current 0.6.8 to 0.7.8 ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
No. Wait for 0.8
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
I will start uploading the final build now, but I don't think I will be able to post it and write changelog until tomorrow when I wake as I am too tired to stay up and watch the uploading go on for more than hour and a half(yeah, slow connection).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] velvel:
Great news!

Just curious why final is 5MB larger?

Thanks again for all your work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] andriewang:
I have flashed 0.8 before, do i have to flash 0.8 FINAL?

--------

I Know Now
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Rendarion:
I encountered the following problem: I flashed the new final version and got constant f/c on accounts/sync in settings. After that I flashed 0.8 app pack, but the problem persists.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] brk:
Is 0.8 a wipe or non-wipe update? Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
I said I'll post changelog when I wake up...you could have waited ;) Anyway, I'm guessing you had a twitter account setup....well...peep or htctwitter is no longer included as it's taking up space and doesn't work. When HTC fixes it, I'll include it back. IF you had a twitter account setup, you either have to remove it OR wipe.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
I recommend a wipe update as *some* stuff from changelog won't be there until you wipe, but it's up to you :) If coming from 0.7.x build, you can just do a no wipe and play like that.

Changelog and such are up, no JIT for this one as I don't see it being anything worth it and not even slightly stable for now, if I get it running fine in the next day or two, I'll post it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Rendarion:
Hmm, I suspected that, well I thought it would be best to just let you know asap, because I didn't know what it was all about back than.

From my logcat it was pretty clear that twitter was causing the sync to die. I just took the app from 0.8_pre-release_2 and pushed it, to fix my problem temporarily, which lets me get back into sync settings now.

At the rest: I am considering a wipe and tnx for the putting in all that effort, great rom, it has always been so stable and fast for me and still it's getting better; You really are letting me have the experience with my phone, I was missing on the stock firmware, when I first got it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] chyen:
do random camera reboots still exist in smoki ver 0.8 ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] H3llSp4wN:
battery drain

i' tried smoki 0.8 a few minutes ago, i did a full wipe, then i noticed a massive battery drain, after 10 minutes with wifi on i lost 16% of battery.

it's just me or is there anybody else with the same prob?

any tips to solve this prob?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Well try to charge to full battery and wipe battery stats. WiFi always drained battery fast on this kernel, but that's too fast lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
I never had one before, but it's still using the same driver.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] AeonLux:
Klothius, does v8 support JIT? and if yes.. Is it the same JIT posted? or will need an updated version
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] marcimix:
LMAO You forgot add new apn, again. :D I flesh 0.8 and everything nicely.

I catch weird situation when I reboot the phone to run gps. My costume widgets and shortcuts disappeared in android wallpaper.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Wipe ext partition.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Harrison_K:
I swear I did, but did it again, and it looks like it worked.

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vchan:
Hi, klothius

Thanks for giving us another great ROM.

Is my little problem :p (incorrect display of the type of phone number in the dialer screen) solved in this version?

Thanks.

App2sd work with ext3?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] luxubu_dang:
Thanks for great room. However, one problem is that Vietnamese doesn't seem to appear correctly to me. This never happens with previous versions till 0.78. How can I fix it?

sleep of death here... :/
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] erpskwerps:
First boot freeze?

Hi Klothius,

First of all, thanks for al you work untill now.

I've flashed the rom but the first boot freezes.

I've already tried to reflash but no result.

Flash was done on your intructions.

Can you help me plz?

Thx

Regards

Erpskwerps
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
That's a problem with translations which is not in my jurisdiction :D For that one, I'll have to speak with capy to see what can be done about that. Just tell me what is exactly wrong?

I don't think so...the official rom is going to come soon..I hope...that damn Rogers said it's already at google for approval and it's been a week or more from that info...

It works with ext2, 3, but not with ext4

More info please. Did it come back to life after 2mins or so and was it ok or ? I haven't had a death sleep issue from the start of 0.8 beta I tested myself and 'till now (although I reboot my phone every two days just in case).

.

Remove the simcard, boot up, finish up the setupwizard, let the senseui load and put the simcard back. It should be ok after that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] luxubu_dang:
Thanks for quick reply. to be clear, I cannot read Vietnamese websites with default browser. Are there any changes in the Font system in this 0.8? Can I use the fonts in the previous versions to push into my phone to fix the problem? If so, how can I do it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Yes there has been a change, but I wasn't aware of the issue with Vietnamese fonts. I'll edit my post in a few mins with an attached zip file for you to flash ;)

EDIT : Here ya go...just flash through recovery and report back if it works :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] liderzre:
What official rom? For wich device? Where you read it?

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] H3llSp4wN:
sleep of death

the phone locks at least 3 or 4 minutes and then i have to pull out the battery
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
First of all, you don't have to pull the battery...there's a hardver reset which is triggered by simultaneously pressing green phone, menu and red phone. Second, what 3,4 minutes? It locks up every 3,4 minutes or when left for 3,4 minutes or you had it left for 3,4 minutes before you pulled out the battery ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] luxubu_dang:
Thank you very much for your support. The fonts works perfectly like a charm. Now this rom is perfect to me. I have to go to bed now because it's 4 A.m in Vietnam. Keep up your great work :))
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cypis:
I had sleep of death but after flashing gsm fix everything is Ok. Very fast rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Rendarion:
2.1 Sense UI, for the HTC Magic is scheduled for release by the carrier Rogers for quite some time now.

There is a semi official statement out, that it will arrive very very soon, as it is technically finished and only needs to get through the final screening.

The source is this link:

All of this is a wee bit off topic though.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] H3llSp4wN:
the phone locks i wait 3 or 4 minutes, nothing happens, it remains locked and then i've to remove the battery
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Aham, ok, thanks for feedback....when it happens to me, I'll investigate...IF it ever happens to me...In either case, just as a heads up : just press green phone + menu button + red phone and it'll reboot no matter what except for some weird exceptions :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] b4u2r1:
:D Ive been using 0.8 since last night. works great! no fc or anything weird. fast and stable.

thx
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vieto2m:
Hi Klothius! I'm from Vietnam. I tried update to 0.8 final from 0.7.6 two times (already wipe before flash), but its seems having problem with Vietnamese language support (Sorry for my English). Vietnamese do not display properly in web browser or apps with Vietnamese.

Version 0.7.6 and before worked great.

You can go: baomoi.com from PC and phone to compare.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
This is a quote of myself from previous page...in the attachment of that post is a flashable zip that will get you back your readable fonts ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vieto2m:
Thank klothius for attachment font.zip file. It works, Perfect!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mrsaccess:
Thanx for the new version and the honorable mention!

I am trying the 0.8 release since this morning but I already had two lockups. With the first pre-release I had rare lock-ups and with the second one none.

I just can't find what triggers these lock-ups, they come after playing with the handset but there isn't a certain pattern there. Also I had some sense restarts (more than the 2nd pre-release, less than the 1st) and some slowdowns from time to time.

The funny thing is that indeed feels (and is) faster on other situations.

I will try it some more and make some tests (clear sense data, empty cache) to find out what happens...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Well nothing technical has changed from second pre release to the final one, so you should have same ammount of lockups and sense reloads in both builds. The wake up bugs *could* be connected with the ondemand governor, but I don't see 192MHz as a too low speed...but then again, everything is possible. You could make yourself a script that changes the governor to performance on every boot(init.d script, you know) and test with that. I too have sometimes slight slowdowns, but that's a natural thing with every OS and build and on top of that, Smoki uses compcache.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Geotzourmi:
Hello, I have 0.7.7 on my phone. Do I have to flash partition_layout.zip again?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mrsaccess:
I don't believe it's the governor which I think it's set not to go lower than 384Mhz.

About stalls now, there are of course the periodic stalls which usually come when the phone synchronizes in the background the various accounts and apps but for me there are some bigger slowdowns which do not go away easily and sometimes result to lockups. Could it be that I ask from the phone more that it's RAM can handle? Maybe but in theory it should terminate older apps to avoid this. Is there a memory leak? Does it come from some app I've installed?

I definitely can't come to a conclusion with so little testing but I'll try to avoid wiping at all costs!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alistairfang:
just refreshed 0.8.

Does anyone still have navigation problem? Mine keep crying "Searching for GPS"

any way to fix this?

thanks a lot!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cypis:
Read first page of thread. You have to restart your device with gps turned on.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] avicho:
klothius

Great rom:-) how can i download touchwiz widgets in the touchwiZ launcher?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] checko55:
hi!

I do have such a script to set the governor to performance and make some small changes to the memorykiller settings, as I found out a nice one and my device not really slows down when in use.

My questions are, could compcache be the reason for slowdowns, afaik compache is not the real performance enhancer? Am I right with that? Can I turn off compcache?

And does the phone scale cpufreq up and down (when screen is on or off) with the performance governor?

thx in advance
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Just installed 0.8, and its great. Before this one i had 0.7.6 and i was very satisfied. My uptime on 0.7.6 was 945 hours :)

There is only one problem (with 0.7.6 and now on 0.8), when i click to connect to mobile network, sometimes its connect instantly, but sometimes not. I get info like he is gonna connect if wifi is unavailable. Wifi on the phone is turned off, and there is no wifi signal from anywhere.

Then i need to turn on and off the airplane mode, and then i can connect. Why is this happening, any solution?

thanks once again for great rom

poz :)

internet sharing ? bluetooth dialup will work ? ... is this based on 2.1 android rom ?:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dieteronomy:
I've never gotten bluetooth DUN to work, though PdaNet got me pretty close.. not a priority, but I image it sucks less battery than wifi with anetshare...

Upgraded from 7.6 to 8.0 (full wipe, selective use of Titanium to restore data) and everything works fantastically. I know, I know, it sounds like spam, but I just want to share the love and give up my propers. Quick and zippy, and thanks to the new partition, big enough for me to download (and keep!) even the most annoying and stupid of apps.

And wawaweewa, weather animations are back! Thanks Klothius!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Well that's something I noticed with our networks here...it's basically happening on networks with low quality data. We've got high speed stuff setup in build.prop so that everyone can get most of their network and still get to connect to it. If you lower the settings, you'll most probably fix that one, but that's something one must tweak for themselves and for their own networks. Although...I managed to get 2mbps upload from my network with low percentage of network getting stupid on me and stucking. In 0.8 I've changed some networking stuff, so it should theoretically work better for some networks, but you can do much more tweaking for your own network :)

There's no way to do that really...touchwiz does not have downloadable widgets and I don't know if those widgets that could be ported to mdpi devices rely on samsungs own framework as I haven't looked at their roms. You can try to search for them and you might even find some of them, but that's up to you :)

To answer both of you....kernel I'm using here(sanpei kernel) has HTC Perflock that has min/max freq for screen on and screen off....so with this setup, it's gonna be 192MHz min and 245MHz max for screen off and 384MHz min and 576Mhz max for screen on (there is also 480MHz when system is stressed, but not enough that it gets you to max speed when screen on). It could be that 192MHz is making a bit of a problems here and there, but that's something that seems not to be experienced with all users, so it should be investigated. As for the memory leaks, yeah, it seems that there is some memory leak going on there, but I know for sure it's not only that weather animations....there's something more leaking and it could be that weather animations are just a trigger for that leak. In this newest setup, I've managed to mask it and to fix it to some extent, but it now seems that *some* users do *something* to their phones/apps/whatever that triggers that memory leak....now we just need to figure out what that something is.

You can turn compcache off, but that would lead to just a small number of apps working in the background which is why I placed compcache in the first place. Our phones are getting out of fashion right about now and you can also see that, with cyanogenmod 6 and JIT or even 2.1 with JIT, there is even smaller number of apps running in the background...it could sometimes be just that one app that you're using right now. That's because JIT uses a lot more memory and our phones are just getting too old because of their memory size to have any real multitasking with JIT enabled (which is something we all hoped would speed up our phones and keep them alive for more time...bummer). So the solution is to either use compcache or swap. I picked compcache for now because it's basically faster than swap when setup properly, but as we get 2.2 from legend, we might have to pass on to pure swap to let RAM be all free for JIT to work nice.

Oh and one more thing....with performance governor, this kernel has 245MHz off screen freq and 576MHz with screen on(528MHz if you use charging fix).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rahmaneee:
This is the best and stable rom i never seen in android , i love it so much ... But i want the rom creator to put all bug fix in one rom :).

And also tell me the ways of installing application on memory card.

I mean the proper ways .. Thank u so much for the rom
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Cliff Edge:
Love <3

;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
There are no bugfixes outside of the rom base. Gsm fix is only for those who have signal loss and you also loose possibility to send more than one message in one sms(just like if you have cdma phone), so that's left out as a standalone fix only for those with problems. Charging fix is there because the latest kernel build has problem with charging from anything except pc usb or stock charger, but it does have some other advantages over the older build that does have this working properly. That's why this is a standalone fix only for those that, say, use their phone as a navigation device in a car and thus need to re charge it with a car charger... And...there's no more fixes lol

As for apps on sd card, you must format your sdcard from recovery to have a ext partition(then upgrade the ext2 partition to ext3 partition, don't go with ext4) and reboot. Apps2sd will be automatically activated.

Bugs

Is the bug with 1-11 ch wifi domain is fixed?

I still dont see adv settings of wifi.

And still see some bugs from 0.6.x from my bug-reports.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
It's not a bug really, but just something like a htc rom was made....advanced settings in WiFi sub-menu never existed in Sense roms, it exists in AOSP roms which this one...isn't.

And what are your bugs from 0.6.x ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gader:
ex No 1: 2x picture frame on widget list 1 in ENG and second localised.

PS - the titanium backup is very old
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
That photo frame x2 is probably caused by the 3d gallery itself...changing the gallery might fix the problem, but that isn't something that has a high priority...I'll see if it can be fixed for the update.

As for the titanium backup, that's not a bug at all, it's there on purpose...mostly because people still have pro version codes for this build and not the new version. You can download the new, updated app from market, while those who have a key for 2.x build can't.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gader:
Thanks Klothius for your work on the rom. From now I will only post the "high priority" bugs.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mrsaccess:
Thanks for the detailed explanations, they are really appreciated!

After some tests I think my problem is that due to low memory the kernel's out of memory killer gets invoked and kills a process directly under the system server, causing the system server to crash.

I gave the phone real hell for four hours to achieve this though. I'll try to monitor the phone over casual use to see if something looks out of the ordinary.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] velvel:
I've noticed strange bug which I am not sure is coming from Smoki or LauncherPro.

If I long press Home (and get "app switcher") and then press Home again, "Complete action using" will pop up with HTC Sense, Launcher Pro and TwLauncher. Selecting "Use by default" and selecting LauncherPro does not help as I will get pop up again.

This is on clean Smoki 0.8 (wipe, no restore).

Any idea?

Thanks,

Vel
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Try to set it as a default launcher through home switcher. I've set touchwiz through that and I don't get that popup. If the problem persists, it's either launcher pro or something's stuck there.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tass0s:
first time smoki...what can i say?I just love it!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] marcimix:
Watch out! Sometimes camera reboots the phone.

I back to school, so my friend with Hero tell me:"It's titanium backup bug" Sorry to post here... :rolleyes:

Did you wipe? Because I don`t have this sh*t :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Disturbed21:
grate job

grate job with the weather animation, just a question can you get it to work on the weather tab as well,you know like the original sens ui?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
Weather tab? Not sure I'm following you there :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Disturbed21:
Sorry not tab...weather widget...the one that displays the weather on the whole screen, and when you click it you can refresh and go throw different cities

Sleep bug not gone on my phone, though much better battery life, and doesn't hang as much as before. Going to be hard to let go of Taskiller now that the ROM doesn't support it :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Disturbed21:
Hmm sorry one more question is there any way of getting pdf to work on the web browser it does not let me download it nor those it let me view it it just says loading and does not do anything...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Disturbed21:
The rom does support task killer it is just not recommended tot kill process constantly it is the same as version 7.... If you constantly kill them than the htc launcher will restart...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ferrarinews:
klothius, do not get me wrong but I'd like to know one thing.

I'm testing the CM6, but I see that is not better than the Smoki.

I would like to install it again the ROM (Smoki), but wanted to see if some problems are gone.

In this version 0.8:

- we must take the sim card from the phone to boot?

- there is already setup to Vodafone Portugal?

- there is an error that causes the phone not working in perfect condition?

- even now, I really have to install the Partition Layout, or is optional?

Sorry these questions, but since I got the phone, still can not setup completely, by walking with the ROM's, back and forth.

I want to stabilize and enjoy it.

Thanks a lot.
