Devil Dog can you supply an update script for your dialers rommanager has updated 3.08 and seems like the lowest downgrade is 3.05 Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Devildog8791:
I knew that would happen eventually. I'm going to be totally honest here. I have never messed with the update script because I have always used a template.zip for my updates. I'll see what I can come up with.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Some advice - Search for "amend2edify", download the app and use. It's simple, and once you get the hang of it, move on to understanding how the scripts differ from the old way. that's what I did, anyway.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Vernox701:
Thanx,....... loving the rom espesicially with the red dialer......I have noticed that the phone.apk(add on dialers) force closes after a hard reset or if I insert directly into the rom, It works fine when I was able to install through recovery. I think if I use the alternate recovery 1.8 amon it will work but that has been scetchy at best thank you guys for the hard work,
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Devildog8791:
Thanks, I'll check it out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Nope. Still works. Are you guys using AdFreeAndroid?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
AdFree

Yes, I am using AdFree Android.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Yes, I'm running AdFree. I get the black screen protesting its use when I load Hulu, but it eventually gives way after 30 seconds, and I've been able to see things clearly.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kriskmk:
anybody having any email sync issues? Both my exchange and gmail don't seem to be syncing properly..as in.. I'd get an email in gmail on my PC a while ago.. but it won't show up on the phone until I wake it up and open up gmail. Same with exchange.

??
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
When did this start?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kriskmk:
since 1.2 I'd say. Seems kind of erratic though.. sometimes it works.. sometimes it is asleep. Had the same happen when I was listening on iheartradio. After the screen went dark.. the radio stopped playing.. and when I picked it up and turned the screen on.. it was back to playing... after that it continued playing without a glitch.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ktdt00:
I've seen this too

I've also observed this... It is irregular but sometimes it seems as though scheduled tasks stop firing until you launch the associated app. I've noticed in email, gmail, beautiful widgets, weatherbug, etc.

I know that's not much diagnostic information. Just an unscientific observation.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
More Unscientific

While we are on the topic of unscientific ... I note that under Magnolia v1.2 I can no longer log into my corporate WiFi; something I was able to do under Virtuous. It just cycles SCANNING ... CONNECTING ... DISCONNECTED.

This is using PEAP and MSCHAPV2. Don't know why it won't connect; nor am I blaming Magnolia. It just won't ever since I moved over from Virtuous.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Can I just say that running this ROM I have had zero issues with: gmail synchronization over wifi (regardless of home wifi network or office wifi network); exchange synchronization (same); and even the use of Wyse's PocketCloud to take over my workstation from a remote location.

I'm wondering whether folks restored any of their system data after flashing the ROM which is a strict no-no. I admit I restored my bluetooth pairings, but that's basically it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kriskmk:
that reminds me.. though I am able to connect to my home wifi without any problems (since it was "remembered" from version 1.1).. I tried connecting to a new wifi in one of the malls with version 1.2 and it just got stuck at "obtaining IP address"...

That doesn't mean that ROM is faulty.. it could have been a problem with the wifi itself.. but just throwing it out there in case someone else had a similar issue
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Try deleting the network in Wifi Settings and, when it is redetected, entering the authentication information over again.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] VZYGuy:
I have noticed that often when I wake up the the sync icon will display for 2 or 3 seconds and many times the mail or sms program count will display new messages. Do not remember this in 1.1 release.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
To all having this issue, what kernel(s) are you using. Thanks.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kriskmk:
htc stock kernel that you have by default in your rom.. (after all, I pushed for that change).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
That's the wifi, I am fairly certain.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
OK. So I am sending out the latest build of 1.3 to testers now (I hope to release on Friday evening or Saturday morning). I think these issues may be resolved in 1.3, so hopefully they will report back to me that that is the case...

EDIT - I trust that none of the users having these issues used Titanium backup to restore email accounts or system settings? If you did, you can shoot me a PM, as I do not want to single anyone out, but I need to know as a developer. Thanks.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kriskmk:
No I did not use Titanium backup for anything.. Good idea to test it out for a few days before release.. we can cover the whole gamut.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Steve -

A quick question about 1.3. Will we be able to flash with CWM 3.0.0.8? Koush is making noises about 2.x.x.x being "broken" soon.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Yes. I have already switched over to edify scripting for all of my update.zips, so no worries as to compatibility.

Now, as to 3.0.0.8 working properly, that is not under my control. Hopefully it is fixed, and, barring that, that 2.x still works this weekend...

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] VZYGuy:
All stock magnolia 1.2 for the intermittent sync and did not restore any system settings with titanium.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Nope

Steve -

Re restore ... you helped me with that personally. I restored apps and app data; no system settings. Had to redo it all by hand. I work at a VERY VERY VERY VERY large company and the wifi is solid; I just can't get on it on Magnolia v1.2. And yes, I do "forget" and reenter each time I try. It's not super a big problem for me. I can certainly test v1.3 and tell you if it works.

Will v1.3 still be flashable under v2.5.xx? I really dont want to move to 3.0.0.8 if I don't have to; at least not until there is more evidence that it isn't borked.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Yes, I remember helping you, and it was someone else with the wifi issue. I just want to know the story so I can fix it for sure (I think it's fixed in 1.3). And, yes, 1.3 will be flashable under 2.5.x, as well as 3.0.0.8.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] i5aac:
So, i just ran the desensitize.sh script and it seemed to work fine (sense force-closed, then to me to re-boot). After reboot, the phone just stays on the "magnolia" boot screen. The power button toggles the backlight on/off, but that's it. Interestingly, i text with Google Voice a lot and have the add-on for it on my chrome browser. so, as i receive a message in my browser, the phone vibrates and the indicator light begins flashing...but still just the magnolia screen.

Pulling the battery and holding vol dn/pwr only results in a series of vibrating pulses. EDIT: a couple more battery pulls, and i got into recovery. currently restoring with fingers crossed...

Any suggestions?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Devildog8791:
Which dialer are you using? I want to do one to see if it is going to work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trishuhh:
Sorry I'm just now getting back to you. I haven't updated the flash player, as I read that would break the ability to use the Hulu app. And my clockwork recovery is 3.0.0.5. I don't think this was version when I initially rooted and flashed this rom. Does it update the recovery automatically? This is my first time using cwm as my recovery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trishuhh:
I'm using that as well.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
There seems to be a link (correlation, and perhaps not causation, at this point) between AdFree Android and Hulu not functioning properly, but I can't seem to reproduce the problem on my handset, so I am kind of at a loss as to what can be done. I intend to poke around this forum and others and see if anyone has come across this problem while my beta testers are checking out the latest build of 1.3.

Sorry that I cant be more helpful at this time.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ecltech:
Had the same problem. I thought the desensitize script would place another launcher (ADW) in it's place but unfortunately it did not or it did not work properly via the script. What I had to do was push LauncherPro via adb with the phone in recovery mode. What you can do is before you run the desensitize script, you can install ADB or LauncherPro from the Market so after a reboot the system has a launcher.

Hope that helps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Are you back up? If so, try running the script again, except, when it's done, reboot into recovery and wipe your cache and dalvik cache, then reboot normally (if it works, it may take a long time to reboot, as it's rebuilding the cache). Many times when a lot of apps are removed like that the caches can get fragmented and cause problems. I have the script delete the davlik cache pieces for each uninstalled app, but this may be your issue nonetheless.

Anyway, let me know how it goes.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] i5aac:
Nice! Will try that in the morning. That's a good call...hadn't thought of that, but makes perfect sense! (pardon the awful pun)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ecltech:
Steve,

I looked at the script and I see that it copies the org.adw.launcher.apk to /system/app as the last step. When I view the contents of /system/app after a reboot or via recovery through adw, org.adw.launcher.apk is not present. The apk is in the correct location (/sdcard/Magnolia/Misc).

What I did the last time was to install LauncherPro, run the script, reboot and everything was fine. I then went into recovery to remove some additional apps via adb but org.adw.launcher.apk was not present in /system/app. Maybe that's the issue.

Just thought I would chime in. :)

Thanks for the ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Ahhh...that would definitely do it. I am guessing that this is what happened. I wonder why the script isn't copying over adw? I will have to check that out. Anyway, thanks, that was so obvious, it never even occurred to me!

EDIT - There was a 0 in the script that shouldn't have been there. Try the attached script, and you should be good. If not, install ADW first, then desensitize.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ecltech:
Steve,

Found the issue - no cp command found. Installed the latest version of BusyBox and that fixed the problem. So the script is fine, just no cp command. :)

EDIT: With regards to BusyBox, a program I use required it and it stated BusyBox was not installed so not sure if that created the issue of not finding the cp command as I would imagine the rm command is part of BusyBox. Seems you found the error in the script. Thx.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
See my post above, the script had an error and I posted the fixed version. Will update OP, as well.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Steve ... Can stocks be in apps for deletion? Stocks as cooked into the rom seems to be the one associated with yahoo, and the google one is also called stocks, so now there will be two if you want to use googles and can't delete the one which comes cooked into the rom. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Run Gscript lite, hit menu, add script, select "NoStocks", and save. Then run the script, and stocks and its widget will be gone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Worked like a champ; thanks.

On the hulu issue; I don't know if you want to go this route, but have you thought about cooking adfree into the ROM. Then you will either see Hulu not work as cooked OR we will all see Hulu work with adfree working. Just a bug hunt thought.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trishuhh:
I opened AdFree and pressed "revert" . Now my Hulu works perfectly! Thank you for your fast responses though, I truly appreciate. Also, my clockwork mod is version 3.x.x, and I thought you said it would only work on 2.x.x? Just something I thought you might be interested in.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Welp

Unfortunately, that is the opposite of the issue, although it does narrow the issue back to AdFree! Steve thinks Hulu can still play nicely with a functioning AdFree, and that would certainly be welcome. What you just did was disable Ad Free (in essence).

Steve - Any thoughts on my cooking in and testing idea?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Nope. Everything on the ROM and that I post from now on will work with both. I must have written something confusing. Sorry.

Glad everything is OK now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
I'll give it a spin and test before releasing. The issue is how aggressive the ad blocking hosts file is. In a earlier version of the ROM, I cooked in ad blocking, but the hosts file was preventing certain web pages from opening. I think what I'll do is create a hosts file with AdFree Android, let it go for a couple of days, and, if I'm satisfied all is well, add to the ROM. It wouldn't even be that big a deal to have two versions, one with adblock and one without...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
OK, I'm glad. And I just learned that, in ghost script, "03" and "3" seem not to be interchangeable in certain instances :). Always something new to learn.

Busybox was installed in the ROM, it was just the version that I was trying did not work for some reason. I had previously always has busybox installed cooked into /data/app/, and now will always continue to do so...

1.3 has a known functioning version of busybox in it, so we are good on that front going forward, plus the installer will allow users to update at will...

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Malware Protection?

Steve ... Sorry to be monopolizing. There is a thread on a dummy file you can cook in to prevent the latest malware attack. Any thoughts on doing that to v1.3?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=977154

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Sounds good. Thanks for the tip.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trishuhh:
Oh :o my bad.

All I did was open adfree and click the Revert button, which restores the host file back to before adfree was installed (i think?)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
No worries. It is good to have further evidence that Adfree is related to the problem. I am in the middle of determining what makes a host file too agressive for hulu...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Nice, but not necessary

You're talking about Steve "cooking" an empty file called "profile" into \system\bin. Fact is, you can do that yourself using Root Explorer. Just navigate to the folder, make sure you have r/w on, create file, call it profile, and you're done. Just did it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spjoneser:
Yes easy enough to do since the zip wouldn't even flash. I just extracted it and pushed it to that location. But yeah even easier would have been to just make using explorer.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Yes but

Ha ... yes, we can all do it by hand ... BUT ... if he precooks in the solution to the latest virus outbreak/concern, then everyone (even those who don't own root explorer) has it automatically :)

I am really looking forward to v1.3. I love v1.2 but it sounds like a few of the problems I am having (wifi, hulu) may get hit!

Now where is that darned DONATE button I have been looking for :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
It took me literally 30 seconds to add it to the ROM, so it will be in there. It will save users time, especially those who are newer to this than some of us...

I do not take donations right now. Give your money to someone who deserves it ;)

Did you do your JD and MBA at the same time? I started that, but then just settled on the JD, and 8 years later, I am no longer using that, even (yay!).

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Answer

Two different places. More info in the PM :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
OT diversion to JD/MBA track.....

Wow, had no idea we had JD's & MBA's here.... You probably got out of the law at the right time, Steve. I've been at it for 30 years, but the last 3 have drastically changed the entire practice. I also looked for JD/MBA programs (back in the late 70's when I was applying) but only got into separate programs. Figuring a JD can do everything an MBA can do, but not the other way around, stuck with the JD. Always wonder if it would have been different if the other way around.

Now back to our regularly scheduled thread.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Not back yet! Doing both gets you a lot of extra debt, combined with the lost income of being in school for the length of the extra program. Now that you have the extra debt, you need a high paying job, but there are few to no jobs that utilize both degrees (and definitely none at the just graduated level) so you will be compensated for one degree while carrying the debt of two. The only way both pay off is at the super highest level of a company ... A ceo or coo probably needs both.

Now ... Where is 1.3 :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Devildog8791:
Tumbleweeds

Wow!! Not a lot going on in the Magnolia universe today. I guess that's a good thing. Nobody's having any issues.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] caleris:
This ROM runs great and your theme is very cool.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] craighwk:
Overall it has been running great. Sometimes gets a little choppy when scrolling through things, but nothing major and no real problems to speak of.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Devildog8791:
Theme and Mods

I'm beta testing 1.3 and it is actually smoother than 1.2. We're trying to get all the mods done while Steve is finishing up the final product. We will have a thread in the "Themes & Apps" section with the mods. You might want to check it out before you get too involved in setting up Magnolia 1.3.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Yes, I like it when things are quiet, means people are content, I hope :). Anyway, Devildog is correct regarding the theme thread and me finishing up. I am currently experimenting with a new init.d script that will allow flash (latest version) to be patched on the first boot, but everything else is done. If I can't get it, I will still release 1.3 with the previous patched version of flash (which is working with the adblocking host file I whipped up from Adfree Android). Expect release tonight or tomorrow morning.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Could you elaborate on when the choppiness occurs (what apps, etc.)? I would like to know so that I can take a look at the animations. I may have them to fast, which causes the issues you are referring to usually.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Hmmm

Steve - AdFree tells you when updates are needed (and if you don't actually update when it wants you to, ads start getting through; so unless you are going to update when it wants you to, you may as well not be using the app at all).

So ... if the first update that is pushed is going to knock Hulu back out, I suspect that your valuable (and much appreciated) time is probably not best spent hacking the hosts file ... unless you can figure out a way (like thru Gscript or something) to search for and remove a line or two from hosts that you determined was actually the problem?!?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
I thought of that, and it seems to me that the middle of the road course is to release with a stable hosts file, and allow people to install AdFree Android on their own and warn of the risk of killing hulu. I can't imagine that too many ads are going to sneak in during the week or two before 1.4, but I know people have different levels of tolerance in this regard.

I don't think it's possible to edit the hosts file with GScript, but there may be a way with bash. Hmmm...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
1.4? 1.4?! You're already planning a Magnolia 1.4 and you haven't released 1.3?

Very impressive....

BTW, been noticing certain things about 1.2 that I never noticed before; the graphical "finish" is gentle on the eye, even at my default 35% screen brightness; the animations are snappy. Very smooth. Looking forward to flashing 1.3.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tarund:
Yeah, I've noticed it gets choppy at times, too but it smooths out overtime. Damn this ROM is sexy!

I can't wait until this gets baked with the Gingerbread ingredients and Honeycomb icons. That would be ridiculously sexiness!

Hey everyone. I wound up working today, so a bit behind. I will do my best to get 1.3 out tonight. As you can see from the thread, it's all done and been tested, but there are some finishing bits I want to finish before posting (mainly HULU with ad block, which I now officially hate...).

Thanks for your patience.
