Ok guys,

I feel like a real idiot! I've just upgraded from 3VOLUTION ROM 3.00.112509 to 3.50.033010 and now when I use certain Java applications (not Opera Mini) I cant use the number keys to type letters. For example, when I try to type a "w" it comes out as a "1".

I think I may have had this problem when I first installed the 3.00.112509 ROM but I can't remember how I fixed it now and I really need to use these Java apps today!!

Can somebody help me please? I have already tried going to Start - Tools - Keymap Customizer - Set to UK Keyboard Layout and then rebooting but it didn't seem to work.

I have this one Java app that I can't log in to because my username and password both use letters that are on the number keys. I think before I may have had to cycle through the letters and numbers to type - so it was like the "1" key was "a/b/c/1" like a regular non-QWERTY phone. That would be fine, I just really need to enter the letters on the numeric keys.

Can anyone help me please? It's pretty urgent! :o
[HTC Excalibur] chris4500uk:
Same problem here
[HTC Excalibur] loq:
I managed to get around the problem by downloading versions of the Java apps that are meant for a different phone.

I did this by using the User Agent Switcher add-on in Firefox to fool certain websites into thinking that I am trying to download the Java app directly to a phone, such as a Sony Ericsson K750i. I then installed the downloaded .jar files successfully on my HTC S620. I can use the numeric keys to cycle through the letters I need to use. It's not an ideal solution but it works.

**ONLY FOR NEW RADIO MAGIC-6.35**

Well I messed up the last update zip(updater script actually) and i have a new kernel with modules(the modules were not getting flashed before) and version is updated also.

You must use my recovery or seo's recovery, this kernel is for gingerbread AOSP based roms not for HTCsense, I'm working on getting a fully working kernel for that.

New!

Updated usb gadget

reworked overclocking tables

boots at 245/528, can overclock to 710 (depending on phone)

fix camera/audio bug

audio updated (regressed) to stock htc .29 kernel it should be ok with sense roms now

I also incorporated the 10mb ramhack, I didn't think we needed it but people wanted it and it seems good so far

some other small fixes

github is updated also, use the ramhack or gingerbread branch

carz-2.6.34.4-6355-07052011-signed.zip for rom cookers the modules are in squashfs format, you can use the unsquashfs command to decompress.

----------------------------------

Ok, I finally have great news in case you have not seen my diet gingerbread thread.

Everything is working in AOSP Gingerbread from ezterry's sources.

Updated usb to be GB compatable. Git is updated

Updated comp to 2.6.34.2 code, mic works, power issue is gone, I believe only camera now...maybe, test it out for me.

Here is a flashable zip, it's koushes anykernel version so the zImage is there for you modders as is the wlan and gps

I added the modules now also as of v0.67

Not working: camera/video

Working:

everything else?

Install cm6

Install gapps (if you want them) (also if you want maps go get it a market)

Install my port

This has been fun to learn and so far I'm really slow at it but I've managed to fix charging, power drain, sound, recording, the camera starts but has no preview (update, it takes pics).

Oh yes, It runs on all flavors of eclair and froyo, I've been testing on cm 508 and cm6 rc2 and rc3 and also on Froyorider. To install CM 5 or 6 you need to modify the install script (because of hero recovery)

------------

update: v0.70

updated v4l2 to latest

updated msm/video to latest

new camera libs instead of old legacy

cm6 hero camera

sense eclair2.1 liboemcamera.so

fixed mt9t013 driver

1/2 fixed camera

the camera starts, you get no preview...but! it does take pictures at all resolutions, we are getting closer.

Everything else is the same in this kernel, I've included all necessary files in the zip.

I didn't wipe so if you already have cm6 just flash the new kernel, if it's a new install, flash the CM6 I linked, flash the gapps, flash the kernel.

kernel v0.70 (cam takes pictures, no preview, no video yet)

kernel v0.67 (no camera)

CM6 (CM6 competly stock except will install on RA hero recovery)

Google apps (same as from link at CyanogenMod)

My git hub git is updated, use -6355 branch

For Gingerbread use the gingerbread branch

If you think you can help have a look, source is linked above.

Good :)

Other functions are working? (wifi, bt, gps, etc) ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] RedKnights:
waiting for test!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
I havent compiled the wifi yet, but all other stuff is working including gps, 3d, bt, have usb and battery issue to work out, running stable for a few hours now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
also wife is *****ing about no time for her, so I have to stop for now(sleep)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xaueious:
Good job and good night.

PS: yes we want the details
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] helderp:
Finally some great news on 32A kernel development. Great job!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] macioo:
great. waiting for your invention;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
waiting for details!!

sounds good
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
hopefully we can get something to play with soon ;) would love to try it out ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] _faber_:
What advantages we can get from .34 except number? :)

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] macioo:
capy, you too would take to work, eh? ;) hihi
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
well i would defently try out this kernel, maybe it could do some good :)

was thinking about learning to make kernel's but puhhh big job ;)

so i hope others do cause it is too much me, thats why i await this one to try out
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] macioo:
You have already done something with this, but may you not overdone. I hope that this kernel help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] movikun:
It's good that somebody picked this up :)

Post it on github when you have the chance.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] t3hflame:
All I have to say is: w000t!

Keep up the good work!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GuestK00288:
carz12,

That's awesome news on what sounds like a great job.

I'm not sure if you heard the news, but Rogers Canada is currently testing 2.1 on the 32a Magic and plans on releasing the rom in late June. In January when they forced everyone to "upgrade" to their patched 1.5 version to fix the 911 emergency call bug, they also updated people's phones to 6.35. I think it's a fair assumption that the 2.1 rom they release hopefully within 1 month will run on 6.35.

Who knows what kernel they roll out, but I thought I would mention it in case you or others were not aware.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GuestK00288:
It will be good to update the Froyo port I did (or start from scratch) with the .34 kernel. Supposedly the .34 kernel is supposed to fix a bunch of stuff.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] helderp:
Hopefully it won't be difficult to adapt the changes to the .33 kernel (or to the .32)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Unkjcr:
Go to carz's CM7.1 ROM thread and there you can find the recovery. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] reynierpm:
Founded and downloaded but it's a zip with .img file and flashbot file, how I flash this? From the HA recovery or using a tool like RadioSwitcher?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] reynierpm:
Well I do not know if this is right but I applied the IMG file using RadioSwitcher and the flash successfully the new kernel. What fastboot file is for? How I can apply this too?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] reynierpm:
Anyway something goes wrong because my phone says:

Kernel version: 2.6.34.2-cyanogenmod carz@carz2-laptop #579

So I think it wasn't updated :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Unkjcr:
Forget the fastboot.exe file. :) Everything is ok. The kernel has the same version. If you want to test if the kernel was applied try to take 4 or 5 photos in a row. If the phone loses all the sound then the kernel wasn't updated.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] reynierpm:
Fine, it's updated. I take 7 photos and never lost sound.

Cheers and thx for your help
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Unkjcr:
You're welcome. :)

Cheers
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] svpb:
i keep reading mixed reviews , and i personally have had no luck.

i can get the zip to flash but it only takes a fraction of the time any other kernel takes.

this makes me think its a partial patch for a prior kernel, what kernel were you people running prior to patching.

(of course this is a question for those that have had success)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] karym1969:
same problem

1 sec

no change in kernel info :confused:

Recovery Seo +-
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Unkjcr:
The info doesn't change.. The best way to check if the kernel was flashed correctly is by testing the audio bug. Take 3/4 photos in a row and if the phone loses all the sound then the kernel is not flashed correctly. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Sorry about the problems guys, I am switching to a different machine, something got messed up with either the signing or the upload, I have a new kernel compiled with the proper info and hopefully signed proper
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] reynierpm:
When it will be available?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Now, it is in the OP, hope it works better.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] onimorza:
This one flashed ok ;)

Now let's see how it performs :rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] reynierpm:
Hmmm sound is fixed but I'm having a lot of problems with signal, I lost and I get one or two bars in a area with full signal. I come back to your previous kernel used in SMF 1.2 because this works fine ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
What location are you in? just curious, 'cause I was going to flash this kernel too but since we're from the same country I wanted to know :P
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] reynierpm:
In Capitolio near to MetroCenter this is a Metropolitan area with good signal I think
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
True, you should have good signal over there. I'm from around the center, I'll give it a try and see how the signal changes (if there's any change) :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ntadeusz:
Carz, your newest kernel is good, but on Sense 2.1 ROM (SebastianFM SFM 1.2) on your kernel WIFI don't work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Try flashing this, it also has improved camera speed. I have not tested on sfm yet, I know tethering is not fixed yet.

http://www.multiupload.com/WS9RMNH5QX
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ntadeusz:
i flashed and WIFI not working still im my SFM 1.2 ROM. Never mind, I will stay with stock kernel.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] reynierpm:
Hi carz, one question about your amazing kernel, did your kernel supports init.d scripts?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] NForce25:
Since when scripts should be supported by kernel?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] djduxx:
Since the kernel must execute the script at startup.

http://linuxmafia.com/pub/linux/suse-linux-internals/chapter6.html
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] NForce25:
init!=kernel
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] djduxx:
Linux-pedia

The long answer!

Init=A program that runs as a daemon and spawns all the other processes.

Kernel=Is the "core" of the most OS's.It is the "interface" between the programs and the processing done at hardware level (the communication between hardware and software components).

Init.d=A directory (inside /etc/) that contains a number of start/stop scripts for most of the system services.

The short answer: No, init is not the same thing as the kernel.

Edit: For the scripts inside init.d folder to be launched at startup the kernel must instruct init to check this folder also. Android stock kernel does not do that. We need smart guys like Carz to recompile kernels and include the instructions for running init.d scripts.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
yes it runs all scripts in etc/init.d/
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ceskopanjy:
hi, i've installed the last kernel version on DietGB and i still have the problem with camera and loss of sound... how can i solve it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
Any updates to this kernel as of yet? or is there an updated, newer one for 6.35 radio?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LordGiotto:
Hi carz, thank you for this karnel, it works really smooth. I'm using it with ginger yoshi 1.3 on my 32a.

But i've noticed DIS with high cpu frequencies (more then 528Mhz): is possible to fix this problem?

Thanks ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] onimorza:
I also heard that the loss of gps connection after some random time could be kernel related?

In my case about 30mins connected, then I have to exit the gps apps that I'm running (google nav, copilot,..) and restart it to get connection again. I don't have to turn off and back on again the gps itself. Just the app does the trick. Then I'm back on track, but it's a bit frustrating on a 14h trip lol :rolleyes:

I have now resetted a-gps data and downloaded new gps assistence data with gps status app to see if that makes a difference my next long(er than 30min) trip.

It all worked fine untill I upgraded from Froyo to Gingerbread roms.

I hope I can find a fix before I head back home from vacation :D

But I keep some oldschool road maps in my car just in case :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
Hi Carz

Is there a chance that any or these kernels or ROMs for the Magic will support USB Host mode?

thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:

While we wait for an update tonight, I think pershoot says there are some issues with the .34 kernel for our devices regarding USB mounting. May be more hidden bugs.

I speculate...

The kernel will be .29 just like the DesireC and HeroC kernels.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
carz12, have you seen pershoot's blog?

I don't think this will help us for 6.35 radio...

http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=457
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alan090:
I am happy to learn of this ;) can you post a .diff when u get everything working proper - that way it can be applied to pershoots kernel as well as other available kernel versions :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Holy ****, Update guys, I have CM5 kernel compiled and working on my magic, buffer error in logcat but working, now to debug the error. My sdcard crapped out I think.

Working so far:

- Problems with awake after going into standby mode

- Sometimes hangs at shutdown

Its ok:

- It is damn fast

- gps, bluetooth, wifi works without any problems

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Posted a link to source, I need help with camera!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
carz12,

For the lazy and for those who wish to focus on working on porting roms (as opposed to working on kernels), would you be into posting and updating download links for your compiled kernels (e.g., boot.img-kernel w/o ramdisk)?

It would save a lot of redundant re-work.

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
just my thoughts giant_rider :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
You want one to play with? still no cam and I need to find the battery drain(only when plugged in to charge) weird one. I should try it with other roms I guess, or you guys could... ok I'll post zImage and wlan for you. You using the kitchen? just rename zImage.

http://www.members.shaw.ca/an-droid/cm5
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I am fine with the camera not working, but the battery drain is a b@tch if it's bad.

Thanks for posting.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
OK latest compile is working, on it now, battery seems fine so far, I updated git and will post zImage and new froyo wlan at lunch, need to test cam yet

have u talked to wesgarner or checked his github"? he has a fully working amss port I hear - im gonna test it tommorow
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Alan, any ideas why it took so many months to do, were they not focusing on it as a priority?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magicdroid:
because their priority was to port the 2.6.34 kernel to Dream/Sapphire, and to have it working on the most widely used radio version first?

because more kernel sources were released by HTC over the last few months?

because for cm6, more devices will be supported, so more radio versions?

anyway, I don't think it was because they were slacking :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] androidhound:
maybe it was a bigger challenge for them than they thought and it has taken 2-3 months of effort?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
It's working now? I tested it and it force closed after blanking screen. WG grabbed my sources a couple days ago, I hope someone can help, this damn charging issue is driving me crazy, I've been on my latest compile for 2 days, stable but you have to turn off phone to charge and the camera isnt quite there yet.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
carsz12,

I've been using your .34 kernel with FroyoRider v0.7 since last evening. Everything seems to be running great except the cam of course. The battery is charging correctly from my usb cable as well as a wall outlet. I have not tried charging with a car charger. Wifi, gps, bt, etc all work great.

Awesome job.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Cool, nice to hear, I'm getting great battery life also, better than my dream does, now this camera driver, I may need cyanogens help.

Maybe now is a good time to put up a donate link lol.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
what about the phone being recognized as a usb drive when connecting to pc? is that working in your kernel carz?

i am trying a bit using it on sense rom (so far going ok)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] scylla69:
I flashed it over froyorider 0.7 and I had one slowdown after waking my phone. Other than that its ok.

On sanpei's kernel when I was charging and rebooted I had to replug the cable (small issue but still, here it's working). In few day I'll test car charger in a long run (hopefully it'll work).

Thank you for your work!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Sure is, all usb functions are working I believe.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lodewj:
carz12, is your .config also included? pulling it in from git as we speak.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
yes, but you would know that by now
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] OPTiCO:
Any clues on the camera yet?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
carz, how much work and time is it for you to compile from the CM source and then add your updates for 32a 635?

When was the last time you pulled from the CM source?

Have you experienced any weird behaviour with this kernel when you come out of sleep? Some users have reported issues with sleep in FroyoRider with you .34 kernel. It could be in the CM6 nightly build I used but it would have had to have been reintroduced because it was not there with previous versions with the .32 Sanpei kernel.

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
I havent been testing on froyo, no such issue in 508ds, I pull daily from CM, and cherry pick updates. I'll load up your rom and test it out.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Also are you using switches oc version? thats an issue with oc not being stable
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I thought of that as well. I am only overclocking to 652 but maybe that still causes problems. I will suggest to the users who are having problems to lower their max CPU speed in SetCPU and see what happens.
