Hi,

I have the setup needed to try this ROM on my Magic 32A, but I'm a bit puzzled by step #5, do I need to partition my SD card? What happens if I don't, what features are not going to work?

In my understanding this is a 2.2 rom based so Apps2SD should be native.

Thanks and good job guys!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wolfshadowkd:
Well again, i Wiped data/factory reset and wiped Dalvik-cache, and flashed the rom. Then reboot, the rom booted ok. Then i reboot the phone, the phone blocked on the first screen again (i waited for about 10+ min).

Is there anything i did wrong?

My sd card is partitioned to 512M ext3 and 128M(seems) swap.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gamenelson:
to who want use Switch's rom, to my experience, don't use 1.1, just use 1.0 and upgrade to 1.3 directly, you can get the most stable phone. for chinese guys, there is missing fonts DroidsansFallback.ttf in 1.0. you can pull this file from other rom or get from your PC. then

adb push /somewhere/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf

reboot and enjoy :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GreenEnvy:
I have same issue, used switch kernel. When I put it in airplane mode it will not wake. This is 100% guarenteed, even if I just press power to goto sleep and try to wake it 5 seconds later.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alomsong:
when will the ROM next version post?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Hopefully soon.

I called in the heavy artillery to help with progress and features.

With luck we may have a new significantly improved release this weekend :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hklkf200553:
finally i solve my magic's problem

1. sleep and won't wake up

2. suddenly freeze and hang .need to take out batteries

solution : just use setcpu set minimum frequency to 352 , no matter screen of or normal using. maybe my arm processor was not good in underclock + undervoltage
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alomsong:
:DSerious look
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Check this first and second posts for the updated rom.

This is a lean, mean Feeyo machine :eek:

The cam is now working but only with Camera Magic. We still don't have the stock cam working and the camcorder is not working yet, but Camera Magic takes pics like a charm :D

Credits are given in the first and second post. Sources are included there too. Capy and I spent most of the last week testing under Feeyo's guidance.

We know who to thank ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Vutha:
@gian_Rider

Give you a thumb +1 :-D

Thanks for the hard work i will test it, and let you know.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Just to let people know....I am not a partition expert when it comes to these roms...I don't need ap2sd so I never bothered learning all about how it works, but I had an ext-2 partition earlier I think (I made it a long time ago so I forget if it was ext-2 or ext-3) and I had some buggy behaviour when flashing this rom and then gapps.

What happened was after I shutdown and then re-booted, some apps were missing from the LauncherPro app drawer. I think this has occurred before to others with earlier releases of this rom and with others.

Anyway, I decided to partition again and drop the external partition altogether on my phone. Then I didn't have the missing apps problems. Someone who knows more about partitioning and ap2sd can probably explain it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
hehe who needs a2sd, you have the pc for apps ;) and phone for calling hehe, nah just wanted to pop in, now my phoe is for repair i have time to anoy ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
giant my guinea pig, hows the test? ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alomsong:
great job! it is good news of camera's working for me.

can you tell us the difference between gapps-mdpi-20100917-signed and gapps-mdpi-tiny-20100917-signed?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
The "tiny" version has fewer apps in it.

The other one is the full version and has car home and some other apps.

Here was the difference in an older version of gapps...most likely it's the same:

$ diff gapps-mdpi-20100814-signed/system/app/ gapps-mdpi-tiny-20100814-signed/system/app/

Only in gapps-mdpi-20100814-signed/system/app/: CarHomeGoogle.apk

Only in gapps-mdpi-20100814-signed/system/app/: CarHomeLauncher.apk

Only in gapps-mdpi-20100814-signed/system/app/: ChromeToPhone.apk

Only in gapps-mdpi-20100814-signed/system/app/: Facebook.apk

Only in gapps-mdpi-20100814-signed/system/app/: GoogleGoggles.apk

Only in gapps-mdpi-20100814-signed/system/app/: googlevoice.apk

Only in gapps-mdpi-20100814-signed/system/app/: PassionQuickOffice.apk

Only in gapps-mdpi-20100814-signed/system/app/: Twitter.apk
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
The phone can be really slow when you first go through the Google setup wizard. I found it is better to leave your phone alone for 5 minutes after firstboot and then go through the wizard.

After you set up your phone reboot it so that it runs sweet :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Deviser:
Camera Magic is FC when I take a picture...:(

Can I change the font for the one in previous version?

How can I display percentage in the battery icon since I can't find cyanogennmod settings?

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kodora:
Just flashed V2.0 and I am installing all the apps. Don´t know why it didn´t restore them as in other updates. I wiped and flashed. Other thing: where is Cyanogen Mod settings?? Is it somewhere else?? not on Settings?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Did you do a full wipe before flashing?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Read one of my previous posts.

Something odd happens to the apps if you do not do a full wipe and/or depending on how your partitions are defined.

This is a different build than the previous FroyoRider's and that may cause the problem.

If you take a closer look you may find that your apps are actually still installed and that they just don't appear in the home app drawer.

Reinstalling them may not change your previous settings if this is the case and it may then make them appear in the home app drawer.

I think Feeyo suppresses or left out CM settings because he has optimized the build heavily, set up jit in his own way, etc. I will ask him if I am right.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Deviser:
Yes. Tomorrow, I'll try to wipe and flash the ROM again.

I'm also having FC with Remote Notifier, an app for receiving calls and sms alerts on your computer. When I go the settings, it turns on the Bluetooth and the app immediately closes...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
You can try doing it using one of the apps out there such as TypeFresh

http://www.themobileblog.in/2010/04/12/change-font-on-android-phones/
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sike89:
im also getting force close on camera magic when i try to take a picture and ive done a full wipe.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] JcMatos:
Great rom, thanks giant!

For those looking for cyanogenmod settings, just create a shortcut on homescreen and in the list there's an option to all cyanogenmod settings!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dhruvnukul:
Great Rom giantrider !

Rom working flawless ,also magic camera working fine for me but it gives fc when i switch resolution to 2048*1536 otherwise no problem,battery life is good

thanks giantrider
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alomsong:
full wipe + sdcard formatted

i took a pic, got FC when i press back. and if i change anyone setting, FC again. pic is good.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] chungsw67:
I have a issue....download some app from market,but those app auto uninstall when I reboot my phone...

Does anybody have the same issue?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
Anyone having problems searching for networks in Canada?

I get "Error while searching for networks."

Do we need to apply Carz kernel patch for 6.35 radio on 32A?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Read the previous 2 pages. I don't have a solution but someone who knows partitioning and ap2sd can probably add info.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I am in Canada and it works fine for me. Not sure what the deal is...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
Same 6.35.16.19 radio + 1.76.2007 SPL + RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.6.2 recovery works fine with FroyoRedux and Official Rogers 2.1...strange. I did a wipe for data/system/cache before I installed your ROM.

Otherwise it looks great...no major issues (I had a glitch where GPS would not turn off after an app that used it closed, but that's OK).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] HWMNBN:
What is your sdcard setup?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kodora:
Ok, I´ll read your previous posts and try to work around sd card partitions. I just asked about CM settings cause they add some usefull tweaks to the ROM. I was wondering if it wasn´t possible to adb some file to restaure it. Thanks for your help and work! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] liderzre:
Me 2. No network. And camera after taking picture, FC.... picture is OK after killing camera aplication.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] orange_24:
after config google acount and sync my network is off. after rebot works about 2 minutes.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sike89:
After unplugging my phone at 7 am this morning it is now 9:30 am and im down to 24% battery... that cant be good. the only thing ive done with the phone is text..

its actually taking longer to charge than the battery actually lasts.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
My apps were doing weird things too in my app drawer. I believe I had an ext-3 partition, but I am not sure whether it was ext-2 or ext-3. I re-partitioned to FAT only (and I kept swap) and since I have not had any issues with the installed apps. The apps should also be fine with ext-2. If you have an ext-3 or ext-4 you will probably have to re-partition.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
hi giant_rider

please correct me if I'm wrong...this ROM is supposed to work fine even without partitioning the SD card. I only have 1 partition and that is FAT32, native Apps2SD from CM6 is enough for me.

CameraMagic application is working OK for me, but I have big GSM connection issuess :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Exactly

You could try flashing the radio again in fastboot.

I have lost connectivity before after switching roms and/or doing Nand restores. This is a known problem.

This happened to me this week and flashing radio worked for me. I could send and receive calls but I could not send email or sms.

I just noticed your signature. I assume you are not using RADIO-3.22.20.17. That radio is not compatible with this rom as stated in the first post.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
I know what you mean...I always flash the whole suite radio+SPL+recovery for safety after every ROM flash or Nandroid restore.

My signature is old :) I used to use that old radio with the vanilla CM6.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] orange_24:
guys if you have a problem with GSM signal just flash the GSM_FIX from sense ROMs like smoki. Helped me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] evolution_x:
wifi connection does not work with froyo rider version 2.0

the phone can't connect to any wifi device....:(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] evolution_x:
cameramagic also does not work, when you click the ball to make the photo it crashes.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Try clicking the icon on the screen.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] evolution_x:
solved the wifi connection, I had to clear the old settings and setup again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I gotta ask the repeat questions, what radio is installed on your device, did you do a full wipe wipe before flashing, and what partitions do you have?

These dam phones are so inconsistent. I have not had a single force close (other than during the initial android setup wizard and only if I tried clicking buttons too quickly and did not give the phone time). My wifi works great.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Ahhhh that sounds more like it.

User error and/or input required. I work with an ERP system in my day job. One of our sayings is "there is no such thing as a stupid system - only a stupid user" and myself is include :p Just kidding. Glad it's working and good find....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
FYI....we're working on getting the stock camera and camcorder fully functional. Keep your fingers crossed....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] evolution_x:
I have radio 6.35

The camera works if I lower the resolution from maximum and click on the screen instead of the ball, and works for 2-3 photos before it crashes again.

Also the gallery photo rotation does not work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Good finds.

The 3D Gallery big is an easy one to fix.

The stock app from the rom compile has a bug obviously. We have 3DGallery.apk's (like the one in the last FroyoRider) that has been fixed. I will add the fixed app in the next build instead of this one. In the meantime if it bugs you, you can push the 3DGallery.apk from FroyoRider_v1.1 in ADB to your phone if you like.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kodora:
Got my apps all working. Just formatted sd card partition to ext2. Now i just need those CM tweaks. The ROM is working great! Only the camera issue that has been reported, but for me is not important as I don´t use the camera.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Someone posted how to do this on the previous page or two. Next build should have this also by default.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] schixiao:
GPS can't get positioning...:(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kodora:
Oh.. My bad.. :o I must have been distracted and didn´t noticed... Sorry. Thanks again giant_ryder.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] freenz:
Hi giant_ryder,

I just installed this rom yesterday..

I very like this rom, change from 2.1 custom rom before..

Thanks for your work..

I got 1 question, should i install any apk to have camera function?

Currently no shortcut for camera..

Sory if this question somebody asked..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
guys

excellent ROM, CameraMagic works but looks like other apps cannot use it...like the default camera. If we could find a way to do that...awesome!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] chongtzeai:
does this rom can sync with FB? and Google contact?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hvasaahva:
Any of the danish people here, got some input on how to get a dictonaray up and running?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
If you are thinking about the spelling in text(sms) mode, you can download Smart Keyboard Pro from market with Danish dictionary. It works much better than Scandinavian Keyboard after my opinion. You will have æøå on the keyboard and great spelling.

Scandinavian Keyboard is freeware, Smart Keyboard Pro you have to pay for(€2.38).

To get Smart Keyboard Pro you will have to do this:

1. Download AppInstaller from market.

2. Download MarketEnabler from the Web and put it on your sd card.

3. Install MarketEnabler with AppInstaller

4. Run MarketEnabler, store you provider and change to US.

5. Buy Smart Keyboard Pro via Marked(I created a Google Checkout account).

6. You will be a much happier now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WarHero:
Radio?

Hi, I have a question;

Do this rom work with any radio at the 6.35.xx.xx point, or only 6.35.10.18? thank you :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mingway1:
Hi giant_ryder,

Thank you very much for your good work ! Rom is excellent ... :-)))))
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
definitely works with 6.35.10.18 and 6.35.10.19 :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
has anybody experienced this too?

I left my phone on over night and in the morning battery was completely drained :(

is there a tool I could use to find out what's using my battery after reboot?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ATeam-MrT:
What about including a small app to install backed up apps from SD? Like APK Manager, it only has 25kb, and it is very useful in situations where you have no option to download tools like astro after a wipe update...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hol17:
Just installed and I have a few comments overall about the ROM:

+ Overall fastest ROM I've used without the need for any memory management.

+ Booted up quite fast.

+ Detected my APN so less work for me.

Some of the bad things though..

- Some notification icons are blurry (ex, downloading / installed icon for market, the market icon itself)

- Bloatware which I can't uninstall (The Matrix Live Wallpaper? Really?).

- ADW launcher is not my preferred launcher at all; would rather have the stock launcher and install a third-party launcher willingly instead of being forced to use ADW and have no choice to uninstall it.

- Some icons appear smaller than other ones (Market, Gmail, Google Talk, etc).

- News & Weather app does not want to correct my location when I input a location myself; an example is to put in your postal code, it will not put in a location at all but instead the section will just say your postal code as you typed. (Idk if this is a fixable problem).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Szusz:
Good job! You guys made my ROM even better! ;) (just kidding ;))

One comment from my side. Do we really need to have those fancy add ons like LWP, ADW launcher and so on? I would really like to have a vanilla ROM with OPTIONAL things that I could use or not (like HTC_IME).

Cheers,

Szusz
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
the adw is becaus eit is alot faster than the stock launcher, but we can make it with stock and an app pack to replace it instead. lwp is there cause at some point someone will scream for it and wanting the crap ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hol17:
That's the thing though; many people like LWP or ADW and to be forced with either one without any choice is a turn-off for some.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
yes, but no one force them to flash the rom either

but we will probably make a stock and then app packs, then you have the choices :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] unfnknblvbl:
So I don't understand the fascination with New Radio. Can somebody please explain to me the advantages of using it? I've never had a problem with 3.22 on my 32A, and really want to try out Froyo without having to reflash the radio :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] scylla69:
I've been using it since yesterday

great job guys!

i don't even miss the camera :)

when I tried to get a gps lock in "GPS Test" it didn't work at first

but then I turned on Google Navi, and, baang :) I got a lock quickly and now even "GPS Test" works [also indoor]... so it's cool

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
yeah the gps works really good on froyo :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] geney:
Alright guys. Just flashed this in the morning. So far everything has been going really well.

Oh ya, I managed to make it recognize Chinese characters. Just push DroidSansFallback.ttf in /system/fonts and reboot. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] evilfry:
Hi I have a question,

does this rom have /etc/init.d support? I am trying to run some auto renice scripts there for dialer and phone. Appreciate and thanks in advance!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
For many of us, just like Swype, it doesn't support our languages.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
no not at the moment, something is going on with it, we are working on it
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
yeah it's just freaking english or spanish
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
New radio definitely gives me better connectivity, and a working GPS - I could never make my GPS work consistently on old radio custom roms like CM, SuperD, etc.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] scylla69:
Swipe supports Polish

and it works on Froyo for me
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
hehe ok nice :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
Well that is new to me, I'll definitely look into it then. It certainly did not last I tried it.

EDIT wouldn't mind a link, the most multilingual Swype I was able to find has: English, French, German, Russian, Italian and Spanish.

Capy: none of the Swype apk's I have looked at support Danish, either.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tommyd2:
Cool and very fast.

i try to install flash whit market.

after a try to install whit apk (for nexus one)

After the default broswer , (and dolphin hd too) close all time.

i remove flash for now.

If someone find someting (can be a wrong apk??)

Thanks giant_rider for you work and happy canada day ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
fæash do not work yet on magic froyo's so doesn't matter which apk you use ;)

besides you would need drivers too, not just the app

@ giant_rider (you became nathan lol)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
Last night I left the phone for a couple of hours and it was draining. The cell was hot like...

I had FoxyRing app service running and did a backup earlier with Titanium backup. Suspecting Titanium backup for not closing down the apps correctly before backup.

After a reboot and turning off FoxyRing service, everything is fine.

I installed FroyoRider like this:

just followed the install guide and installed the full gapps on top, nothing else.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
Camera works with Barcode Scanner app :)

Scan scan scan
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
Didn't for me :( gotta try one more time! It was probably because of a previous crash while trying to just take a photo. CameraMagic works for me...but from time to time it can crash.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
Well i also don't have much else installed...just ROM + gapps + Titanium and a few extra apps.

I remember SpareParts had a screen where you could see some battery usage statistics that were kept after reboot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alomsong:
:eek:i can't believe the score of CPU.......

:(i can't post the link of screen shot
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] HWMNBN:
Yeah it is pretty optimized as far as I know ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WarHero:
Well, I'm sitting here with a 6.35.08.29 radio, and I just dont wanna begin to mess with radio flashing and so on. :D

I just dont wanna take any chances bricking my phone :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] HWMNBN:
I am sure it is compatible with your Radio. But then again. I do not own a 32A ...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
works with that too
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
To everyone who is thanking me....while it is nice to get the praise *cough cough*, keep in mind that without Feeyo this would not have been possible at all - he is the key in all of of this not me - and of course Capy always pulls more than his weight. He can answer the hard questions you ask better than I can :rolleyes:

Also, thank yourselves because my testing indicated that the camera was more stable than it is but you guys are more thorough. Hopefully we'll get that fixed too.

Not sure if I said this yesterday, but all of the CyanogenMod stuff that is missing from the rom and/or settings will be back in the next release.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lyzanxia:
Thank you giant_rider,Feeyo and capychimp!! I just love this rom.

It's very stable for me,great battery life, new radio and the camera works for what I need it.And the topping of the cake is that it is bloody fast :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
Does it happen to you guys that once a day you get a complete hang? Phone is frozen, no buttons work...I need to remove battery and restart it.

Just curious...
