Hi,

First off all, congratulations for your hard Work.

My device spec are:

Radio: 3.22.23.18

SPL: 1.33.2010

Recovery: ClockWorkMod 2.0.0.5

I follow your instructions from first post, and try flash with kernel and without it but same result... loop in the X logo!

still great work
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tig33r:
Your rom package don't have root.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] smoke_weed:
Great thanks giant :D i will try it out after my school ends :-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
You're right. Thanks. I knew I forgot at least one step in my instructions for all of the fixes I applied. I created and flashed an update.zip that included the latest Superuser.apk and /system/bin/su file as well as the required permissions. I will upload and add the link to my post when I get home tonight.

Unless someone disagrees with this approach, I will put together a GB rom based on ezterry's (and the other devs') work for the 32a 6.35 radio and create a new thread for it. Lele's thread seems to focus on the old radio, so I will stick to the new radio. My dev abilities are limited, so I will focus on porting and cooking simple fixes. I will post updates after ezterry and Firerat post updates and will rely on them and others for fixes for most bugs. What I will be able to put together is a 32a 6.35 rom that is easy and quick to flash, hopefully in one step, on our phones. I will most likely wait for ezterry and Firerat's next release before I do anything.

For comparison, the ported GB rom I am running is as stable, fast and smooth as the FroyoRider rom in my opinion. The camera and camcorder do not work, but they also don't work on FroyoRider. Gmail is broken right now too so that may be a show stopper for some if they don't like to use market email apps. Other users will be probably find more bothersome bugs, but I have already made the switch as it meets my needs. I'm not sure if it will make any difference, but maybe carz would be into porting the latest stable .35 kernel that the CM team, pershoot, ezterry and others are working with over to the 32a 6.35 radio at some point.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zydus:
I'll definitely be looking forward to a GingerbreadRider ROM if you do happen to make one. I've been using your ROMs for for a while now and they have given my phone a new lease of life in this age of galaxies and tegras. So thank you :)

Gmail not working, however, would be a deal breaker for me. The quality of the camera on our phones is pretty abysmal so a non working cam/camcorder is of very little consequence, at least for me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Maxxy13:
Giant_rider, thanks for your effort. I'll be looking forward to flash your GB ROM. The Gmail not working is a bit of a showstopper for me but I guess I can live with a Market app for some time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I am using K9 Mail right now which is arguably as good or better than Gmail.

I updated my post to include an update.zip for root:

New ezetery build is avaliable http://sandbox.devnull.name/android/gingerbread/GINGERBREAD-DS-Alpha-20110116-1.zip
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Is there somewhere I can get GApps which will work with this? The ROM works nicely. A few things to note:

Camera works, but not camcorder.

Wifi seems to work, but cannot test as I've got none of the passwords to wifi near me.

Also, just out of curiosity, what is this build based on?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lesa0208:
is app2sd working on this rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] orange_24:
a2sd is working

After few minutes of using this rom:

- facebook contacts do not synchronize with contacts in the phone

- no camera in any aplications

- I have gmail working

- when connected to a computer no access to the sd card only charging

- no gps in google maps

this is my opinion and I want to confront with other users
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] midnightmach:
Hey do you have another link to the Superuser_update.zip?

EDIT: Nevermind got it :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] yguns76:
I installed this GB rom and still have Gmail acting abnormally (not crashing or fc'ing). When I select a message, it will open up but within seconds it goes back to inbox. When I click a link in a messages it does the same.

Note: Stock browser does not work. I am using Dolphin Browser HD but it has started to act abnormal, such as hanging or taking a long time to load a page.

The camera.apk video feature will cause a fc, if you take pictures you are fine.

WIFI, GPS works fine so far.

Nice ROM. I would love to see Gmail working.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I guess I should have clearly stated that I get no FC's except with gmail and the camera (for the rom for the 32a 6.35 radio).

Since I know the camera and gmail are not working for me, I don't try to open them, so I get no FC's :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] midnightmach:
Great ROM so far!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Please provide more information otherwise it is impossible for anyone to give you some direction.

Phone? 32a/b?

SPL ?

Recovery?

Radio?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Sounds like you need to do a lot of reading.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MARCO310791:
Froyo

I saw from cmsrc code on twitter and github that CM7 for Sapphire will use the FROYO libcamera:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_dream_sapphire/commit/ce20326bf5d852bec5dbda2a97d179c904346415

Will this process make the camera work?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I have not tested GB on the 32a 3.22 radio, but I think the camera is working.

The camera is NOT working on the 32a 6.35 radio.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ATeam-MrT:
Yes I can confirm that the camera is working with ezterry's GB build for D/S which is available for download in the G1 Development forum on my 32A Magic with 3.22 radio.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Isilmalith:
Hm.. I just flashed it, I know its alpha, but I'm a bit curious how the performance "should be". Mine seems quite sluggish compared to my previous Rom. I expected different, mainly because giant_rider stated it would run smooth and fast.

Flashing problem maybe? After the first reboot, it got way better, but there's still room for improvement.

Other than that, great work. Its nice to have 2.3 running after the officials told us it wasn't even sure to get 2.0 on the magic :D

Slow Tutorial to flash the 2.3 GingerBread

Hi guys!

Can someone do a slow tutorial, step by step , for people whith less knowledge flashing ROM's?

I think it would be fabulous for a lots of people like me.

Here in Portugal, a lots of people still stuck on the last perfect SPL (1.76.0009).

Hope you can help.

Thank you all!

Usually this is included in the first or second post of a thread.

Maybe lele can update as needed.

Also, maybe lele can update the thread title to follow the convention. So the title would be something like:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcnbama1983:
I have a wierd situation I am wondering if someone else may have had the same experience with. My wife and I just got 2 HD2 Leo from Tmobile. I installed the Droid Nexus ROM on it. Everything seems ok except the wierdest thing keeps happening. In Droid if one of us adjusts our contacts somehow it affects both phones. I was at work today when she made some changes to her contacts and it deleted some of mine. How could this be happening? The phones are miles apart. Does anyone know whats up? Also is there an easy way to delete all contacts in the Nexus one without having to select one by one. Thanks for any help!

- Jc
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lude219:
You don't mean SIM contacts, right? Because both of you guys have different sim cards so I'm leaning toward google contacts or other web-based email contacts?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcnbama1983:
well actually I mean sim card phonebook contacts. On my phone last night I was in windows and copied all my contacts to the SIM, Then I booted DROID and imported the contacts to the directory. Well this morning my wife noticed all my contacts had been stored in her phone. I thought that was wierd but what made it crazier is that she then deleted all but a few contacts from her phone. On my way home this evening I noticed I only had a few contacts in my list. Really Wierd. What she changed also affected my phone. We have HD2 Leos running DROID Nexus,

Any Thoughts?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lude219:
Are both of you running the droid ROM? So you flash the same ROM onto both phones, correct? I'm sure the explanation here is very simple just that I can't articulate it in a manner that is best understood by you. It couldn't have been SIM contacts because those are unique to the SIM, and you can't delete/add contacts to that SIM unless it's actually on the phone that you're operating. Under winmo, if your contact is saved onto a SIM, then you should see the sim card icon next to their name, if it's a PHONE contact, then it has a figure of a person next to their contact.

Imagining if I'm using an IM client, if I add a friend's screen name on the computer, and that new screen name is linked to my account on a web server, then I expect the new screen name to show up on the chat client on my phone. I suspect the same thing is happening with your phone. You probably set both phones up with the same account and whatnot, and when you add/delete/sync new contacts, it affects whoever is using that account. I don't think this has anything to do with SIM contacts at all, but has to do with google accounts when you first set up the phone with the droid ROM. Again, that's just my guess.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcnbama1983:
I think I understand what you mean. We did actually use the same Gmail account to set up each ROM. So we should use different Gmail accounts huh? I didn't realize there was such an intricate connection between Gmail and DROID OS. I am totally new to the DROID, actually this is my first smartphone period.

So what do you suggest is the fix? Hard reset one phone ? How to I get it back to where I can put a different gmail account on the phone?

How do i delete my contacts off her phone now ? lol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lude219:
You don't need to hard reset. You're running android off of an SD card so just delete (or format if you want) everything android related off of that SD card and put in another copy. When you go through the setup/registration process, use a different gmail account. WHAM!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcnbama1983:
So I can just delete the android folder from the phone? I really don't want to have to format it if I can get around it. doesn't that wipe everything off the drive?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lude219:
what drive? I meant formatting your SD card. Anyway, I think i'm just confusing you even more.

Yes, delete the android folder and create a new one on the SD card.

[myTouch 4G General] The_Double:
I've always tought that the hummingbird would humiliate the snapdragon with some optimisations. But it even performs worse than a sgs (running AOSP/CM)
[myTouch 4G General] epsix:
You have to put into account that 4G uses MySense and loads of bloated ware where the Nexus S use AOSP pure Google experience. Hell load MT4G with AOSP or CM on it, it'll blow the nexus s away.
[myTouch 4G General] vw671:
That and it's cheaper to boot. $449 vs $529
[myTouch 4G General] QUEDRO:
I think if mytouch 4G would run CM or some vanilla Froyo w/ OC, It blow away Nexus
[myTouch 4G General] kgbkny:
The MT4G already blows the Nexus S away. The benchmarks are a fairly good indicator of that.
[myTouch 4G General] larryg2k3:
Yeah, make sure you are reading those benchmarks right, the MT4G kills it.
[myTouch 4G General] greenstuffs:
I think the mt4g is faster no need for benchmarks I notice it on everyday use considering I've had the vibrant and the ns is just a rebadged galaxy s.
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
Heck, I just think it's cool to own a device that performs so well compared to other high end devices. After owning a G1 for over a year, having the MT4G is a treat!
[myTouch 4G General] bastage:
These benchmarks make my mouth water... Now ****ing xmas needs to be here so I can have my mt4g (that or the wife needs to develop a heart, I should pack up her G2 & tell her she can use our old MDA until Xmas)
[myTouch 4G General] Dani897:
The bench marks only show how incomprable the two processors are. And how unreliable benchmarks are. Dont trust neocore. The phones are so fast they cap out the built in fps limits of the phones. Interesting how the losing phone in neocore get 10 fps more running quake. Thats almost 25% more. Also interesting that quadrant cpu is right on par but linpack is still low. I have no idea why qualcom chips do so well in linpack. They obviously have a distinct advantage there. Yet hummingbirds some how do as well on froyo roms in quadrant.

I/0 scores vary wildly with galaxy s phones. Rfs always give a very low score. But there have been "lag fixes" that blow the score out of proportion well beyond anything else in quadrant. CM although buggy gets huge scores all over cept for linpack. A CM dev said the low I/O was something samsung did. It may be that the nexus s has the same problem.

Im not putting the mt4g down. Not at all. Just the benchmarks. I think the galaxy phones still have the best gpu. But if I could get a mt4g unlocked or a nexus s it would be a hard decision. ( im on ATT)

Im partial to samsung after doing repairs to my captivate and an evo. I felt that the htc was built like a toy. But as far as user experience hatch wins every time.
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
blah blah blah double post...
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
I want to see those mt4g benchmarks with gingerbread. I do agree that benchmarks should be taken with a grain of salt, but it's always nice to come out on top :)
[myTouch 4G General] bobsbbq:
Yes and they should just be glad they did not have a OC kernel with a trimmed ROM or that nexus S would have been smacked and knocked back to kindergarten.
[myTouch 4G General] Fisherman619:
I have been confused at why the MT4G has not challenged or even been compared to the Nexus S??? All this waiting and hype about the Nexus S and finally it comes out and (IMHO) is a disappointment. Now reading what everyone is *****ing about, No HSPA+, expandable memory, ram and not made by HTC.... Well MT4G has all those!!! Minus the SAMOLED, I think the MT4G is THE better phone. Now with some numbers to look at...Its looking sweeet! Best part is, "The 45nm Snapdragons with Adreno 205 GPUs have proven completely competent performers (and I'm not even finished testing the myTouch 4G yet)"!!!!!! Can someone please put these two in the octagon!!
[myTouch 4G General] alex9025:
This sums it all up
[myTouch 4G General] xalucardx:
I got the MT4G but also want the Nexus S just because I know it will have more developer support than the MT4G , I dont care about benchmarks just user experience, lets see the people reactions when they get it
[myTouch 4G General] kgbkny:
After exchanging my original MT4G for one with a "superior" display, this phone is most certainly a force to be reckoned with. Yes, the SAMOLED display is great, but highly overrated. I remember doing a side-by-side comparison of my old Vibrant with a G2, only to find that the G2's display more than held its own next to the Vibrant. Even with its washed out display, my original MT4G outclassed the Vibrant in every aspect - the new one, with it's better display, is not even in the same league.

Since it's been established that the Nexus S is basically an aesthetically revised Galaxy S, it's safe to say that the MT4G vs. Nexus S comparisons will yield the same results as MT4G vs. Vibrant. Say what you want about benchmarks, but numbers don't usually lie (unless, of course, you're Bernie Madoff).
[myTouch 4G General] Jayrod1980:
That's my reason for getting the nexus s too. Its the rom support and user experience. I've had this phone since almost the day it came out. Its got every feature you could want, but though it looks and feels expensive, htc has major qc issues. I've yet to see one without a blown out white screen either. If they had blessed the phone with a better display, changed the plastic below the screen a little, and made it with asop, the mt4g would be the best phone ever made.

Battery life is excellent, it's fast, and has all the latest hard ware. Just upsets me that with all the specs this thing has, they give it such a poor display. I mean you look at that every time you pick up the phone, and espresso sense themes expose that even more with all the greys and off blacks.
[myTouch 4G General] kgbkny:
I highly suggest contacting T-Mobile and having them send you a replacement. Speaking from personal experience, the problem with the washed-out displays is very real. It appears that HTC/T-Mobile are aware of the issue, since most replacement units have been shipped with a good display. Trust me on this one, the good display will make you love this phone.
[myTouch 4G General] epsix:
Man... these SamSuck users always make excuses. While MT4G clearly out perform in everything. Hehe... oh.. those number don't mean anything... and NS will have more... supports fraking losers.
[myTouch 4G General] dinan:
I don't really care if the MT4G beats the Nexus S/Galaxy S on some benchmarks... the thing I care about is the performance I actually see. I have both the MT4G and Vibrant, played around with both on stock roms and custom roms (there's no good roms for the MT4G yet, and I don't think there ever will sadly), and the Vibrant is just smoother and more fluid. The MT4G is choppy, even though it renders pages faster, opens apps slightly faster, there's this inherent lag and choppiness to it that I think is a fault of either the display drivers or the touchscreen hardware being inferior.

Even though the benchmarks might be close, the Vibrant SMOKES the MT4G for games. I've tried a number of 3D games on them specifically to test, and the Vibrant is just smooth all the time, while the MT4G is smooth most of the time, it's overall framerate is noticeably less and has these "lag" epidemics for no reason.

In the end... the Nexus S/Galaxy S is more responsive at finger tracking, smoother, and more fluid, and I think it's because the touchscreen hardware on the Samsung is superior (Vibrant can track 5 simultaneous independent points while the MT4G can only do 4, and it's not as smooth - using Multitouch Visible Test).
[myTouch 4G General] epsix:
Talking about roms... have you the checked the development section? We have Z, HD, CM and Glacier,. Yes we have a problem with camera/video issue. But we as a community has raised enough for the devs to fix this issue. I believe Zinx will fix this.

About game playing, only game I play is Alphasalt 5 see no problems with it. Maybe you're right cause I'm not into gaming.. maybe others will give their inputs.
[myTouch 4G General] Jayrod1980:
To the guy that told me to get a replacement, I'm on replacement number four. I get to pay shipping everything I have to replace too. I think even retentions is getting tired of dealing with me
[myTouch 4G General] Jayrod1980:
Frankly, I feel bad every time I have to call. Before the vibrant and this phone, I was on the g1 for two years, and never called them our dealt with a hassle the previous 7 years I was with tmo
[myTouch 4G General] kgbkny:
Based on my personal experience, I would have to disagree with the statement that the Vibrant is smoother than the MT4G. Not only is the Vibrant extremely laggy (I'm not referring to lag while opening apps), but the frame rate of the Vibrant is actually equivalent to MT4G. This is clearly evident if you run Nenamark and Neocore side by side. As far as user experience is concerned, both the MT4G and the G2 are far better than the Vibrant. Then again, you know what they say about opinions, right?
[myTouch 4G General] xalucardx:
Vibrant gpu is way better than MT4G and G2...
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
to be fair qualcomm made neocore and optimized it for the adreno.
[myTouch 4G General] vw671:
Really? I had the exact opposite experience with Galaxy S. I had a Captivate for 2 months and tried every custom ROM (even some based off of Vibrant ROMs) and every lag-fix out there. And the MT4G runs circles around the Galaxy S except in the area of the carmera/camcorder which the Galaxy S had a slight advantage. The heart of the problem on the Galaxy S is the proprietary memory they use and necessity to run RFS on the memory. I had hopes for the Nexus S becuase it uses normal NAND memory chips but sadly the IO benchmarks don't show an improvement.

There is nothing really wrong with the MT4G stock ROM (I'm using it). Everything works and works well.
[myTouch 4G General] vw671:
Linpack is a floating point benchmark test, whereas Quandrant is more of a general CPU operations per second type of test. Qualcomm chips score higher because it's FPU is much beefer then the others, No different than the GPU on the Galaxy S being beefer then the the Qualcomm setup. If you write an app which does a lot of floating point calculations then it's going to run significantly faster on the Qualcomm based phones. Anyone want to run a Tip Calculator benchmark...haha..
