[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
You need to redownload both files. Because that's th only reason it'd happen
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crisvillani:

OK Here is the no wipe update stock theme : http://www.4shared.com/file/DEsOeAeA/SparksMod164-Stock_Theme.html

Also its the Themes folder on third post!

Hope everyone is happy :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mkvb:
I downloaded file again and still the same error.

But I didn`t use superwipe, just wipe, maybe it is because of that...

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Brillntred06:
is there any "bloatware" in the 1.6.4 micro ROM that I couldn't just use titanium backup to unistall.....vs......using the micro lite version?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mkvb:
Flashed SparksMod32A-1.6.4-Micro-RH-VMHH-CCH-BC-GB-DS-Signed.zip file

then a white stock theme

ROM is fast and its working good but annoying animations are there, must turn them off, power widget is with fancy icons but better looking is simple old one for me and news and weather is missing. I am not usinf fancy widgete.

Are there any differences in SparksMod-1.6.4-Micro-Lite.zip?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crisvillani:
Actually im not gonna release 1.6.4 micro lite, all bloatware can be removed from rom easily, and if you want stock theme just flash over 1.6.4 micro.

No reason to upload a.whole new rom just for that .

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] furiousfart:
Can someone help me out here? How do I format my sd card with the ext3 partition? I couldn't figure that out at all.

Also, says here:

2. Reboot reboot to fastboot

3. fastboot erase system -w

4. fastboot erase boot

and boot to recovery...

how do I do any of those steps? When I restart to fastboot I don't see any of those options. I looked but i couldn't find much info...

Thx!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Brillntred06:
With 1.6.4 you don't need EXT-3, but you do need to partition your SD card to at least ext-2. You'll have to go into your recovery, select partition sd card and then follow the instructions on the screen.

when you go into fastboot you must open up a command prompt screen and type in fastboot erase system -w [enter], then type fastboot erase boot [enter], and then power down the device by pressing menu. Reboot to recovery and follow the rest of the instructions found in the OP.

Also check the Wiki which will explain a lot more if you aren't familiar with adb/fastboot.

Strange. I also use Handcent and I have no problems at all.

Try uninstalling it and then reinstall.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sparksco:
The only reason I use the theme I do is because I put a lot of work into it optimizing it. Also others have reported faster performance with the theme over the stock one. So yes your right about it being a personal preference. And when I made this rom it was the way I wanted it. So I don't need a bunch of different roms cluttering up my PC with a bunch of different themes, hope that sheds some light on that topic

where can i find sparks mod 1.6.1?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sparksco:
Those days are over, 1.6.4 has more fixes in it, and I'm also working on a 1.6.5 that should fix the no ext partition problem. Apparently we still need one for 1.6.4 but it will boot up. But if you try to install something then it won't install. If you cant download the gapps just use the old ones until the link is back up
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lesa0208:
I know that this 1.6.1 is old rom, but i really do not like animations, and some icons in new rom :(. And 1.6.1 is clean rom without this new add-ons
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
then just go to the G1 Android Development and then download SparksStock.zip in the attachment
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mkvb:
I just finished with reflashing my Magic.... again!!!

Now i have 1.6.4 and SparksStock.zip and finaly everything is great. Working and looking!!! ROM is fast and stable, woking great, stock theme with stock icons and animations are just clean and simple! Only thing that isn`t stock is font but it`s looking great. I put ADW launcher EX 1.1 and it`s fast, scrolling and opening.

lesa0208 try that combination (nista te ne kosta :) )

Best ROM for now!!! Love it
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ingmaurox:
Is ok the new link, even I have problems, download Market applications, restart, help please.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sparksco:
It's because you don't have an ext partition. I tested this rom a lot last night with no ext partition and every time I tried to install something it soft rebooted. Either that or you ext partition isn't working for some reason. Partition your sdcard
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ingmaurox:
Thanks, I have a sdcard 2GB, how recomended the partition ? :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sparksco:
It doesn't really matter how big you make it, just don't make it bigger than 500mb and make it ext4

Edit: For 2GB scdard just make it like 50mb or something small
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mmilos085:
I have been running this rom for a while, and i noticed major battery drain when using WiFi (usually i connect wi fi do download updates from market). After just 2 mins of using it, battery gores down by 40% (ie. form 60% to 20%, from 80% to 40%)

Any suggestion?

(iam not keeping wifi on all the time just for updates)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lesa0208:
I have the same problem with battery :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crisvillani:
Drain battery fully then in recovery wipe battery stats
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lesa0208:
before I flash the rom i whipe battery status in recovery but same problem :/
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mmilos085:
Strange, i did that just b4 i wrote here, didn't helped.

Then i found that if i use widget to disable WiFi (aka Power Widget) it says on, even if it is displayed like off (checked in settings - was on, checked in notification bar - it was on).

So i guess issue is not with battery, rather then it is issue with Widget.

I will check it now to see consumption, and if this doesn't help, ill reflash rom :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lesa0208:
Can you fix drain battery on wifi :/
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crisvillani:
I cant really fix it because i my self dont get the problem, every battery is different, make sure that if you plug ur phone it usb to reboot after unplugging ,because causes battery drain.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mmilos085:
Forgot about this thing :) Thanks

Try what i wrote just little above. Widget seems bugged.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lesa0208:
i don't use power widget... I try to download some apps from market, check my mail, a little browsing with dolphin browser, and in half an hour usin wifi my battery drain from 100 percent to 10 percent...

I tried with the recovery of Amon-Ra but i could not make it...

Is there any tutorial or another way to make the ext3 partition?

Ilike very much this rom, but without the apps of the Market, It's useless!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lesa0208:
i use paragon partition manager 9 for creating ext3. Put your sd on computer, open program, right cick on card format on fat32 then apply, next right click on sd card and move/resize partition then apply, i use 8gb microSD and i use 1gb ext3, when is done with resize partition, right click on new partition and select format in ext3, and then apply, that's all.

Put rom on sd, go in recovery, whipe all, and then flash rom, and other stuff with rom

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tatallor:
I've tried and failed a couple of times to install this ROM.

First I followed the simpler Wipe procedure described at page 112, having previously paritioned the SD card. It worked great, but everytime I tried to install an app from the Market, the phone would restart.

After a couple of hours of reading, I tried to flash as shown on the first post of the thread, and since I had the Perfect SPL I made a GoldCard and flashed a new SPL, after which I put in AmonRA and tried to install the SparksMod ROM. After a couple of unsuccesfull attempts ( the phone would just show the two androids waving behind the HTC logo, as if it was in a loop or something), I just restored my nandroid backup and now I'm still at Android 1.5 with SenseUI.

I've got a Vodafone Romania 32A, I've got it used and rooted, with SenseUI and Android 1.5

Any got any ideas about how I could make this ROM (which is great by the way, fast and responsive) work properly?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crisvillani:
N

what radio and spl do u have?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tatallor:
this is what I get when I boot to fastboot:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H

HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-3.22.20.17
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crisvillani:
ok all that seems good, as for your reboots when you try installing an app, try formatting ur sd card then re partitioning it with ext, then wipe with fastboot, and reinstall rom.

That should help : )

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] omlet:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sparksco:
It's because you have to wipe the system partition

fastboot erase system

will only wipe the system partition

fastboot erase system -w

will wipe the system and userdata

Or just use superwipe, but the fastboot method is the recommended one.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crisvillani:
Thats wierd try reflashing?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tatallor:
Now it works. The only thing that bugs me is the dark colour of the fonts in the pulldown window. Any way to make those white?

http://www.androiddoes.net/index.php?topic=1010.msg2013#msg2013
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tatallor:
I've tested the ROM for one day and then switched back to my original build. Here's a couple of pointers. The contacts mamagement and import work far better on SenseUI, with the intelligent contact lookup and responsive keyboard. Maybe version 1.6.5 could have this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SnowmanDK:
Where can I turn off automatic usb storage activation?

It activates automatically when I plug into my pc, and I don't want that. :(

Besides that, I found out that the rom becomes very slow over time (about a week). At least until I uninstalled the Advanced TaskKiller and installed TaskPanel Extra together with Autokiller Memory Optimizer. Those two keeps me at around 35MB of memory, which makes it run smooth.

Other than that it is a very fast and totally stable rom. Keep up the good work ;)

Sidenote:

I must admit I am a bit lost regarding the battery drain problems people seem to have.

I have WiFi active around the clock, but still I get 1-3 full days worth on one charge depending on phone usage.

I do not use BlueTooth at all (maybe that's the problem?).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crisvillani:
Ya i also i have no problems with battery, I think it differs to each phone, every battery is diffrently calibrated
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sparksco:
Ok guys, after a very busy week 1.6.5 is almost complete :D It's fully 100% compatible with rom manager. Which means yes, you can just select the rom with rom manager and select wipe data and cache. Allow superuser and away it goes to auto install.

This will be a one flash. The rom itself is a beast to be able to install everything including a separate gapps flash within the rom. Our new graphics designer 144saint has made a very nice boot animation, as well as some wallpapers.

On top of this your internal storage will never go down, which should fix the slowing down after about a week part. Also if you have less than a class4 sdcard I would not expect this rom to run good on your phone. The launcher has been updated and may have some memory leaks in it. If you are using the GB Launcher, you must realize that it is still beta, hence why it is free. Feel free to download and try other launchers. I may have two launchers in the rom once it's done. Keep in mind that these roms are still "in development roms"
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] surfwaimea:
GB keyboard

I've been using the gb keyboard for enough time to say that, apart for the nice look, I don't like it. With that keyboard I mistype more often and sometimes I get doubles.

In my opinion, should be better keep in the next release the standard keyboard and let people who prefere GB one, to get it on the market.

Just my opinion ;)

Thank you for the great work!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sparksco:
Well the thing is I put the GB Keyboard in the rom itself, which makes it the default keyboard, which replaces the standard one. It seems to run better in the system, and with this new release it should not be an issue

did you plan make no ext partition needed version?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TuMatos:
probably not the best place to ask, but it's being discussed so i'll just do it :)

i've always only used amon-ra recovery, is there only benefits for switching to clockwork recovery, or is the only real gain the possibility to use rom manager to install new roms?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crisvillani:
well CWM has a much better backup up system, it backups everything from, ext to .android secure folder, also u can restore only parts of the backup, soo lets say you just wiped and installed a new rom, but u made a backup from the old one, u can use advanced restore to restore all you apps, it saves tons of time, thats why i use it :D

hope that helps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TuMatos:
thanks for the answer.

one more thing, if i understood correctly, to install it i download rom manager from market and install CWR from there. what happens to amon-ra recovery?

gets wiped out and replaced by CWR?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crisvillani:
Basically gets replaced by CWM but.if you dont like it u can always flash Amon Ra back.
