definitely take time to recover Steve! We'll be here when you're ready.

Dig your work a lot Steve but take care of them eyeballs, you can't replace or upload new ones bud....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Thanks everyone. Just got back from the eye doctor for a follow up and my eye pressure is down to 16/14 from 64/62 yesterday. Looks like I'm going to be fine, but very nearsighted for a bit and no glasses/contacts.

I will never take my eyes for granted, or take a certain migraine medication (;)) again. Wow.

On the plus side. I get to wear sunglasses inside, which was cool 20 or so years ago.

Again, thanks.

That's awesome to hear man.

Your future so bright that you have to wear shades?

By the way, after going back to stock on a refurb I got from VZW and re-rooting to Gingerbread I am back to your ROM. Simply put I love Sense, but not some of its nonsense. Your ROM is sense without the garbage in a carefully crafted design. I've recommended this to more than a few people now that are looking for a stable ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MyronW:
Steve,

I love your work. It's the most stable ROM out there, bar none. So take as much time as you need to get your peepers healthy again. We'll wait for you!

Myron
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
Looking forward to 1.4 when Steve gets better. It's probably something in my setup, but if I don't reboot every day or so, my system goes into bootloops until I pull the battery. Weird.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Which kernel are you using? Did you install 1.3.2 fresh or with flashover? Are you running any mods or themes?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
It's really not a huge deal. I've been using Chad's Incredikernal for months. Full wipe install. No mods or themes. It's probably some app not playing nicely with others.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
rfarrah, I am running Magnolia 1.4 beta with Incredikernel as well. Only reboot in nearly a week was on a single incident of a rapid switch from bluetooth off to wifi on.

My experience with bluetooth stacks on multiple devices is that they are often tempermental, so I wouldn't ascribe fault to the ROM or kernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
Yeah, my original post on this subject was worded poorly. I don't blame the ROM at all. I was mostly trying communicate that I'm looking forward to Steve's newest creation. The wipe involved will most likely have a positive impact since I won't reinstall all the junk currently on my phone. :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BSquaredB2:
How is the 1.4 beta so far (besides the bluetooth fluke)? Are you able to use any mods or themes with it successfully? I'm looking to wipe and install as soon as 1.4 available.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] roxylove:
Has anyone used CM7 much as an alternative rom? I love Magnolia, however I have recently got into using LauncherPro and actually like it quite a bit. Because of this, I'm looking to test out a Vanilla rom to compare battery life. Does anyone have experience with CM7?

Typically I get between 15-18 hours of up time and 3-5 hours awake time per day with Magnolia 1.3.2.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
+1

and I would love to know the same question about SkyRaider. I am not so interested in CM7 because I like sense, but while Steve is recuperating and 1.4 is now on indefinite hold, I am curious about SkyRaider. Anyone used it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
To answer Bsquared's question, the only change I have made is to substitute kernels. I have not done any other mods, yet, principally because I don't know whether. DevilDog's mods for 1.3.2 work with 1.4.

I intend to try two mods in the next few days: one to change the notification icons (to either DevilDog's or Conservative icons) and the other to change the lockscreen. I will report back on my results.

UPDATE: Installed Magnolia-1.3-ColorMenus.zip and Lockscreens-ColorNotif-ColorMenus.zip both from DevilDog's Theme and Mods thread here and both work fine with 1.4 Beta.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shuura:
if I remember correctly, there's a zip Steve uploaded that removes Sense and installs ADW. I ran it and then installed GO Launcher EX. Magnolia has been far too stable for me to even need to try another rom.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] texanaustinite:
Just came back to Magnolia from cm7 and warm z because of battery life. Of course that's just my experience. No harm in checking it out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drumelloboe:
Quick question

I tried searching the thread, but it said search is unavailable for 20-30 minutes, and with my luck that usually continues longer than 30 minutes...

I bump charge my phone every morning and I've noticed that my location turns itself on when I reboot each day- has anyone else experienced this?

Also, I ran an EVO-like ROM for quite a while and in the Power Control Bar I had an option for the flashlight, which I loved because I could keep the flashlight on while using other apps. I followed the link to the customization info in the first post but can't figure out for the life of me how to add that- is that an option with this version?

Thanks so much for any help anyone can offer, and thanks again for making such a great ROM!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
I test-drove CM7 all day yesterday. Just didn't find the allure and was back to my nandroid of Magnolia by 6:00 p.m. And FWIW, I use Launcher Pro Plus with both CM7 and Magnolia. Battery life seemed about the same, but I didn't do any specific testing for it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Have not experienced this phenomenon under any Magnolia ROM version since 1.2.

There are a couple of approaches. One is that JsChiSurf has an application to "manage" the PowerWidget's pulldown menu. The XDA thread for that is here; and secondly, the widgets are "controlled" by a file called widgets.txt, information about which is also at that thread. Flashlight is definitely one option.

Personally, I don't use the powerwidgets for that; I use MySettingsPro, which I set to activate from a notification pull down and that has a flashlight available.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drumelloboe:
Hmm... the location thing didn't happen this morning, maybe it was just a first few days issue? Who knows.

As far as the flashlight goes... looks like it'll be a long project, but hopefully I can figure it out over the 3-day weekend. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] VZYGuy:
You need to edit the \system\customize\widgets.text file on your phone

It contains a | (pipe) delimited line of widgets to display. These values must be one of:

toggleWifiAp

toggleWimax

toggleAirplane

toggleAutoRotate

toggleBluetooth

toggleBrightness

toggleFlashlight

toggleGPS

toggleLockScreen

toggleMobileData

toggleScreenTimeout

toggleSleepMode

toggleSound

toggleSync

toggleWifi

Mine looks like this:

toggleFlashlight|toggleBluetooth|toggleGPS|toggleBrightness|toggleSound

[Droid Incredible Android Development] drumelloboe:
Well that makes it look easier! Thank you! I hope you have a good weekend as well :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] roxylove:
Thank you! I've always heard that Vanilla roms will yield better battery life, however Steve must have tweaked Magnolia just enough to make Sense virtually identical when it comes to battery life. I loaded up CM7 for about 30 minutes and also didn't find it too pleasing. The Magnolia interface (notifications bar, transparencies, controls in notifications) are just too pleasing to do without.

Now, I've been looking at Facebook widgets that will notify me of comments and so forth. It looks like Facebook has been having issues galore with their push notification system (weird? Gmail has it perfected!). Anyhow, I've found the answer to be a combination of the LauncherPro widget to monitor my feed and post status updates and FLOW for push notifications. So far this has worked great!

Does anyone here leave "Enable Always On Mobile Network" checked? I've read this helps with battery life if turned off, however for instant notifications it must be on. I just experimented with it ON and got pretty good results (24 hours up, 4 hours awake; and still at 35%), but then again, I don't have a million things updating at once
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
I leave it checked. I do turn off autosync, unless I will be near an outlet for a while (i.e. at home or in the office) though, and get generally good battery life with Magnolia, Chad0989's Incredikernel and one or two SetCPU profiles.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] edbro9:
Has anybody had trouble getting a GPS signal? I haven't used GPS since I loaded 1.3.2 but today when I tried I could not get a signal at all.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k1mu:
I've not had any problems with GPS with 1.3.2. I'd try turning GPS off then back on again to see if that resolves it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Has anyone tried skyraider 4? It was updated yesterday.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] erik1213:
I've been thinking about giving it a whirl while we wait for 1.4. I might flash tomorrow and try it out, but I have a feeling I'll be back to Magnolia. I used to use SkyRaider 3.5 but when doing so, I still flashed and tried a diffent ROM every few days....I haven't had that urge with Magnolia and have been using it steadily for over a month now with just a brief (2-3hr) break to check out CM7 then came right back.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
If you do try it please report back. I am not really interested in the 1.32 to CM7 upgrade path that others seem to be taking, but Sky Raider may be a more reasonable path. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] erik1213:
Will do....although, even if it is great, the one thing that would still bring me back to Magnolia is the dedication given to this ROM by Steve. It's unmatched by any other ROM developer I've found for the Inc (not that I'm saying others aren't dedicated or go unappreciated by me) and that really goes a long way with me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Devildog8791:
I'm on Skyraider now. It's pretty solid. Seems like these two roms are the best for the Incredible at the moment.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
Yup, test-driving SR4 while Steve recuperates. No complaints so far, but will probably install Chad's Incredikernal today to compare battery life and OC ability.

Looking forward to Mag 1.4!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Thanks

Been watching that thread in case 1.4 doesn't show and their conversation has moved to metamorph and changing the color of things, which is always a good sign for a ROM.

Thanks for the input!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Would be interested in hearing how Incredikernel works with SR4. I used Lou's kernels for a while, but found SD access over USB suffered. Incredikernel is noticeably faster in that regard.

EDIT: Oops. Forgot HeyIt'sLou's ROM is Redemption, not Skyraider. Nevermind....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] msnider73:
SMS Outgoing

I'm having problems at times sending SMS messages to people on other carriers (i.e. not verizon). I receive all incoming SMS messages (I think). Anyone know why this may be happening?

I tried a *228#1#2 already.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Are you sure it is other carriers instead if happening when you are on wifi?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] msnider73:
it happened on both wifi and 3g

EDIT: as a follow up, i switched over to skyraider and the problem went away. I don't know if it had something to do with the wiping process, but something might be wrong
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Curious. Never experienced that on 1.3.2 and certainly haven't encountered it with the 1.4 Beta release.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
Steve, just curious, would the "Z camera" or "Evo camera" work with 1.4?

Edit: Sorry, found the Evo camera in the Magnolia file.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TeH PLAYA:
First off, Steve - hope for a speedy recovery. Eyes are not something to screw around with.

I haven't posted here in a while. Decided to try out WarmZ nightlies and CM7 nightlies. I'm on SkyRaider 4.0 now, and since someone mentioned it in this thread, I'll say that it's very similar to Magnolia in terms of stability. It's quick and reliable. However, SR4 is not as theme-friendly (yet) and doesn't have some options that Magnolia has (ex. desensitize script, etc.) out of the box. SR4 does incorporate some Sense 2.0 features though, and that's a big plus for me.

Anyway, looking forward to try out 1.4. See you all in a bit. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Hmm

Thanks for the SR4 feedback. I continue to watch that thread in case 1.4 doesn't make it out of the gate. The most popular complaints there are [1] some people are having SD card unmount issues, [2] some complain about super slow battery charging, and [3] some complain about WiFi being intermittent, and [4] he apparently cooked in an awful music player. Each one could be a hardware problem [1-bad card; 3-bad radio] or poor kernel choice [2], but who knows. I think I will try to hold out a few more days as I thought 1.4 was supposed to be already for release when Steve has his emergency.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TeH PLAYA:
Let me have some input for those:

1. I have never unmounted my SD card yet on this ROM so I can't have a say. I'll have input when a time comes where I have to remove the card.

2. I'm actually running the custom Virtuous kernel found in ROM manager (so I can have a powersave screen off profile). Battery charging times seems fine to me, but I do keep it on the charger a lot of the time.

3. No wifi issues here.

4. I don't like the HTC music player (regardless of ROM) so I use Winamp, so no input for this really.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Vernox701:
Problem with the Skyraider thread is 80+ pages since it dropped on the 22nd. The rom is really solid I think most of the complaints are noobs like myself who want the rom to be an all in one to suite their needs. The music player was a test one that was left in by accident. The Lockscreen mod which I think sets it apart is pretty nice except if you like album art you have to add the HtcLockscreen back in but then you lose the lockscreen mod and hula works. Although not perfect its pretty close .
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
Well, I've done SR 4.0 for a couple days and briefly test-drove Optimized Z ROM. I think I'll probably come back to Mag 1.32. Seems faster, more stable, quicker charge.

I hope Steve is doing okay!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] edbro9:
Is this project dead? Steve said he needed a "couple of days" back on the 17th. I hope he is doing okay.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
Steve has been so responsive, that his current silence is uncharacteristic, and must be excused by the situation he faced last week. You can't exactly flash a new pair of eyes like you do a ROM. When time comes, I'm sure he'll be back to us, and if he decides to abandon the project, I'm sure he'll tell us that, too.

As I've said elsewhere, I've been running 1.4 beta and it is definitely more stable than 1.3.2, and there isn't anything else out there to tempt me away yet.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] edbro9:
This turned out to be somewhat of a nightmare. I tried everything I could think of.

I wiped the device completely and reinstalled Mag 1.3.2 but GPS still wouldn't work, even before I loaded any non-stock apps. I wiped again and installed Virtuous ROM remembering that it worked on that rom. Still no go.

I had to downgrade by installing the stock Verizon rom and then GPS worked again. After that I re-rooted and reinstalled Magnolia and everything is fine again. Weird!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Hmmm

If you used the RUU then you ALSO reflashed the Radio (and Kernel), basically restoring the heart and soul of getting a GPS lock; may not have had anything to do with Magnolia.

Re the prior 2 posts, I agree that Steve is very responsive and that this is unusual. He was able to post the day after he was at the doctor (and said that his eyes were almost normal on that day), so his absence for the 2 weeks is worrysome, and I hope he is doing ok. I do, however, share the concern that this ROM may be dead (I hope not) for the very same reason. Fingers crossed, and get well soon Steve.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rfarrah:
What ^^ HE ^^ said... +1
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MyronW:
In the grand scheme of things, our phones are just things and can be replaced. Our health, unfortunately, is not always as easily mended. I pray that Steve is recovering well, and that his absence is merely a prolonged rest period.

Get well soon, Steve!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ohredwood:
And I'm gonna second what the above poster said. I've tried a few different Roms and put plainly, I'm content/happy with steves work. I can also dig if he's got medical issues especially with eyeballs, his heart and mind are things that are really important. I just had lasik surgery done a month ago, two weeks ago, I could not hardly see the big letter E on the eye test. The flap was not healing right, and my eye was clouding over, so I could not see. Talk about scary, my phone, steves work, hell my house, meant nothing, but my vision, was all that was on my mind.

Relifted flap, scraped eyeball out, and things (knocking on wood) going much better,

Heres to your health Steve!!!!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hEaTLoE:
Here's to a quick recovery Steve! I've been running your ROM for a few weeks now and absolutely love it. Like said by the many posts above, health is the #1 priority and I'm sure none of us mind taking a back seat to that.

Hope all is well!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RyanTX:
I was one of the early Magnolia users and I decided to go to CM7 one day and just haven't been able to come back. I love Sense, but CM7 is so much faster and has better battery life. I dunno, maybe I should give it another try. I dont think I have used Magnolia since 1.2.

Get better soon, Steve.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Does anyone know how one can update app folders from the market? I have my daily reminder in the market that app folders had an update, but with 1.4 not being released it doesn't look like that daily reminder will go away soon. Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hgoldner:
I have extracted the latest version of AppFolders from Magnolia 1.4 Beta and posted it here.

I hesitate to advise *where* to put it on your Incredible (whether \system\apps or somewhere else), as I had all kinds of problems (posted above here and in DevilDog's Black & Bold Theme thread) with duplicate appfolders, so use this file at your own risk, and the only reason I'm releasing it is that it's not Steve's work, it's Maxim Manuylov's, and the app is still free in the marketplace.

If anyone believes I am mistaken in posting this, let me know and I'll take it down.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdmba:
Thanks

Thanks! I see that 1.3.1 has it sitting in data/apps; but I don't think I want to risk destabilizing the system over trying, even thought it is 2 versions later. I do appreciate the post and attempt; I suspect the answer is 'we can't update appfolders without Steve! SO ... at this point, I am at a loss. Skyraider seems to have a daunting amount of bugs getting reported, but the long silence has me believing 1.4 isn't imminent even though it has been a few weeks since Steve said his eyes had returned to normal. Maybe virtuous will update :)

Get well Steve.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
I have seen the light (and everything else)!!!

Oh boy, I can finally see properly :). I was extremely near sighted for a week, then far sighted. Very weird, and painful, yipee! Anyway, I am grateful that I can see now and the pain is gone. I really feel for those with any type of vision problem, as it is unbelievably debilitating. And, yes, I have glaucoma, but no, I do not need any pot ;). I abused that privilege in the past and now can't stand it, thanks though ;).

Anyway, I will be posting the new ROM soon. I need to catch up with what is going on in development (Skyraider's new ROM looks nice) and my PMs.

Thanks to everyone for the supportive messages!

[Droid Incredible Android Development] MyronW:
Welcome back! I had a retina start to tear loose a couple of years ago, and while it was painless, the thought of losing my eyesight was certainly distressing. A green laser in the hands of a skilled doctor put it right.

I'm glad you're doing better. You've certainly been missed!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k1mu:
It's great to hear that you're on the mend. Get well - that's the most important thing. I'm quite happy with 1.3.2 until you're ready for something newer.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Thanks to you and everyone else for the good wishes! That sucks about your retinas (yikes!), but glad you got better. I am due for surgery in the next couple of weeks to have drain holes burned through my irises with a laser. Sounds kinda creepy, but apparently not a big deal. Should only be blurry for a day or two. After that, I should not have my eye pressure increase to the glaucoma level again (fingers crossed). I am actually glad that this medicine mishap occurred, as I now know I am at risk for glaucoma (and have had it at low levels from time to time w/o my knowledge apparently!). I'll get the drains installed and then it should greatly reduce my risk of getting it severely when older.

Anyway, enough about m'eyes. I am happy to report that I am almost caught up with my work (2 weeks off: all the work backlog, none of the vacation fun...;)). I am looking at what is going on out there in Inc. world and seeing what I want to do. Sense 2.0 features seem to be a realistic option now, but if it's just the widgets, not so sure it's worth it (the apps in 2.0 are what are good, imho). Anyway, will get cranking soon, as I have missed it.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Android Development] edbro9:
So, are these ideas for a post-1.4 ROM? Will you still be releasing the 1.4 that the beta testers have been testing?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sk806:
Yes. I will release 1.4 pretty much as is, with some minor fixes the testers pointed out. Should be soon.
