I ported the latest GB Cronos from Feeyo to the 32a Magic 6.35 radio. This rom uses carz's 2.6.34 kernel.

***Feeyo and carz have put in a lot of work for us....please let them know by donating here and here.***

How to install ROM:

1. Nand backup

2. Wipe cache and dalvik (try wiping dalvik only if coming from an earlier version of GB Cronos)

3. Flash GB rom (rapidshare, multiupload)

4. Flash gapps (rapidshare, multiupload)

5. Flash carz's oc kernel (if desired - see below)

6. Flash GPS fix (if needed for your location - see below)

7. Reboot

Kernels and GPS fixes:

You can flash these files from carz from recovery with no wipe

576 MHz oc kernel: (rapidshare, multiupload)

614 MHz oc kernel: (rapidshare, multiupload)

710 MHz oc kernel: (rapidshare, multiupload) (thanks to rps13)

Fix for GPS in Asia: GPS_AS.zip (rapidshare, multiupload)

Fix for GPS in Europe: GPS_EU.zip (rapidshare, multiupload)

Update Details:

-See 2nd post

Bugs:

-Youtube HQ buggy

-Lights/leds buggy

Working:

-USB tethering (with stock setting -> tethering works with Market apps)

-Games (you may have to move some of them to internal phone memory from SD card download optimized Angry Birds here)

-Camera

-Camcorder / video recording

-Gmail

-BT

-Wifi

-GPS

-USB connect

-3G/2G

-Phone calls

-Youtube

-Facebook sync

-Ap2sd

-Google voice search

-Smooth UI

-No FCs

-Root

-Most everything

-GB screen on/off animation

..To enable On/Off animations in this build:

..1. SpareParts: Enable both and put on Normal.

..2. Menu -> Settings -> Display -> Animation = Show All.

..3. CM Extra -> Display -> Rotate 180 = enable.

..4. CM Extra -> Display -> Rotate Screen On and Off = enable.

..This should work. If not reboot.

I've included Astro File Manager and Titanium Backup to make restoring apps easier.

This rom is for the 32A Magic / Sapphire.

You need the new radio 6.35.10.18 or 6.35.16.19, SPL 1.76.2007 and recovery-RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.6.2 or recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img or recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img or recovery-RA-magic+-v2.0.0.1-seo.img.

It might work on with other recovery images, but I have not tested them.

If you do not know how to change your radio, SPL and recovery, click here at Cursor's post.

*NOTE*

I am not sure how much support I will provide for this rom.

I will try to update at a minimum whenever Feeyo release updates that will port over to our phones.

If you don't know what you're doing and have a question that is not specifically related to this rom, please search google, XDA, etc. first before you ask.

I am not responsible if you brick your phone. Nand backups are your friend :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GuestK00288:
Hopefully others can confirm, but the camera and camcorder video recording are working for me.

Facebook also seems to sync fine (but I don't use FB so my test was basic and I'm no expert on the FB apk).

The GB screen on/off animations were working for me, but right now they're not. I noticed from the Hero and other forums that this feature seems to be buggy for all. Here is a work around. Enable 180 degrees rotating by going into CM Extra -> Display -> Rotate 180 degrees (make sure screen off and screen on animation are selected). Reboot. Then enable all window animations by going into Settings -> Display -> Show All window animations. This seems to work most of the time.

This is my favourite 32a 6.35 AOSP / CM rom to date. It's snappy with no FC's (except if you try to navigate through the initial set up wizard on first boot too quickly - which seems normal) and no major bugs (from my testing anyway).

After you get your phone set up, reboot once to speed things up. Jit is enabled.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ntadeusz:
What about battery drain?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] liderzre:
Confirmed:

camera and camcorder video recording are working for me also!!!

fb sync working

great job

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GuestK00288:
Battery drain so far seems the same to me as it is on other roms using carz's 2.6.34 v0.70 kernel.

Lately, I've been turning off auto-sync, 3G, GPS, BT, and wifi most of the time and I've been getting 2+ days with a single charge.

When I use those features heavily I start the day with 90-100% and end up having 25-40% remaining by the end of the day.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ntadeusz:
Thank You. I will flashing it, but first i have to change spl and radio. At the moment i have old radio.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] saibot64:
That's quite interesting, i was staying away from new radio roms because of camera problems, but stock new radio roms were always kinda better for me. I'll try this one, thank you!

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mhc19881010:
haha . that's what i want to say .
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wolfshadowkd:
Is it fast and smooth?

I just flashed OR seems i need to update again...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hayer:
Can i use the partitions patch with this rom or do i have to remove it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
hey

hey giant very nice update :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GuestK00288:
It is fairly fast and smooth for me. I set the windows and transition animations in Spareparts to fast and I increased the scrolling speed, etc. in LauncherPro. I also set the tweak in AutoKiller, and there are the performance settings in CM Extra. Then I reboot.

The max kernel speed is set at 576, so it won't be as fast as the roms that are set to oc to higher frequencies. I can look into oc for the next release.

Update: It's not the fastest, but I just got some Linpack scores of 3.90-4.00, so it's respectable especially for no oc.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GuestK00288:
I'm not sure. I am not familiar enough with that patch to say.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ATeam-MrT:
Wow, this is good news. Giant, do you know what has changed that the cam is working now?

@Capy, good to see you still around here in the Magic forum :-). Do you think that you can take advantage of this development in order to get the cam working with your FroyoSense ROM?

Thx, and keep on the good work :-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
trying man trying ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Maxxy13:
This is an awesome ROM. Smooth, stable... The only thing I noticed so far is that Neocore FCs every time.

As for the Voice Search, it works first time after installing it from the Market. It then stops working after reboot. Same behavior was in the ezterry's releases.

Giant, thanks a lot for compiling this ROM. It's golden!

Update: Neocore issue solved by reinstalling it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
How about usb tethering, does it work?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
Can u share me the apk?

Tks

To all: the 614 kernel of carz makes the wifi wake up immediately. I think we should use this kernel
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] iliaskone:
cronos 1.4 is out!

could we wait for an update?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I have an update I'm uploading.

The in call ui is missing from the phone.apk and the camera may be doing weird things with video recording - I'm not sure. It would be good for others to test.

Other than that the rom is awesome.

I will post a link for testers. It will be up in <30 min.

Also, I'm changing my versioning to match GB Cronos. So this next release will be 1.4.1 (it includes the 1.4.1 patch for Cronos 1.4.0).

Do a backup first of course....

DOwnloading, gonna let you know.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vercetti:
giant rider,

i'll be testing the new release too.

back to my last issue - i posted yesterday about the gps symbol not disappearing after exiting google maps navigation (and turning off gps). you said it might be the program and not the rom. my question then is: why does this not happen in any other gingerbread rom i try? it doesn't happen with dietginger from carz or the gingerbread version from yoshi (program is always the same: google maps 5.1).

it must be something within the rom then, right?

let me see if it happens with the release you just posted!

thx,

greetz,

v.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Tafla:
Flashing now.

What is the kernel on this 1.4.1?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vercetti:
damn it! gps symbol problem still exists...

was hoping so bad for it to be solved :-(

too bad.

maybe someone will find a solution.

greetz,

v.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Ok, thanks for doing the testing with other roms and confirming the issue. At least you can exit navigation when in the app and have it close gps as a work around.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I can't remember, but I think I included carz's latest 614. You can flash any of carz's latest kernels in his Diet GB thread or on the 1st and 2nd post of this thread without wiping.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vercetti:
the workaround (closing navigation) i tried a couple times so far - also won't work for me!

i must have some settings that prevent this workaround.

thx for acknowledging the issue though, maybe someday it will be solved! :-)

otherwise i think the rom is great!

greetz,

v.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I sent a note to the dev to see if they can replicate on the HTC Hero. If they can then he can look into fixing it :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vercetti:
thx man!

aprecciate it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] iliaskone:
thank you very much.i will downloading it.what do you meen t"the in call ui is missing from the phone apk?

thanks in advance!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
It's a feature in Settings -> Call settings -> In-call touch UI

It's not there for this release. No big deal. Won't effect calls.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Any feedback on 1.4.1?

Should I add it to the 1st and 2nd posts?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Taknarosh:
Is the button backlight working for people? Mine aren't lighting up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I don't think so, but I think this problem is in all releases. I will look into more.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] spydersly:
Hi

Battery life is not good for me 100% 5:00 pm 38% 9:30 with no gps no wifi

thanks giant rider!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadow_empire1:
first time for me that on/off animation works

anyway, will disable it, takes to much performance :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] etibon:
Move to sd

Does the "move to sd" function work on this ROM (the stock fat32 version)? I'm having major problems moving apps to the sd card. It says that there is not enough space available - but there definitely is! Any fix for this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
I got one bug with Contact search.My contact can search 'r' word but there are a lot of contact with 'rep' word can not be found. Can any test this in ur phone? I tried to search other word like L, U... and it is OK.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
U set up your sd ext partition, chose install allocation in CM extra to external, so App will automatic install into ext partition, no need to move to sdcard anymore. i am using this now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
Rocketdial must install in internal, not external. It works for me now. Just do not like the search funtion (writing recorganize did not correct)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadow_empire1:
Why no update (changelog) for the title for such a long time?

v2 -> v2.1 -> v2.2 -> v1.4.1
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vercetti:
just wanted to confirm that the button lights do not work with me either.

someone asked a couple posts ago, i thought i'd mention it.

p.s. giant rider, i know what you mean now when you said "exit navigation" from the app. to get rid of the gps symbol you exit navigation and on the immediate next screen where it does not show you the map but some text you have to press home screen and get out of maps. then and only then will the gps symbol be gone. but if i exit navigation and on the screen afterwards click the "M" on the top to get back into the map the gps symbol comes back and pressing home then will end up with the symbol still there. until they fix this it's fine with me. other matters are probably more urgent.

greetz,

v.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] etibon:
I thought that the "install location" setting in CMExtra was referring to the native fat32 sd install option, not an ext partition on the sd. Does this allow me to pick and choose which apps I want on the sd and which on internal memory?

Ideally I would want the apps I use frequently in internal memory (for speed) and the ones I don't use that much on the sd card (to conserve memory).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
I don't know clearly about the Rom but because my sd card get ext4, so b4 i chose instalation location to external in CM extra, my app installed into internal memory and I need to move app to sd using Setting\applications\manage applications, no need to use other app2sd. sure U can move apps to sdcard but not all apps as u want.

after I chose location in CM extra, it installed app into ext4, not into fat32 sdcard, may be due to I got ext4 already. And then, still can move app to sd card in manage applications or move back to internel as well
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
After using the gps test app the gps icon on the top bar remains stuck. This is funny because the gps is definitely off, and both the power management homescreen widget and the notification shade widget recognize this correctly.

Is there any fix in sight for the button lights? I kind of miss them.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] snailmale:
sorry, can we get a multiupload mirror of this please? its barely moving for me from rapidshare.

thanks a lot for the hardwork giant!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] svpb:
how does this rom fare vs Yoshi?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] biictorr:
I've got a wierd issue. After powering down, I lose all google settings. I have to sign in and sync everything again. And if I try rebooting to recovery (when phone is on, hold power, select reboot, select recovery), it goes into recovery, but its just a black screen. Using seo's recovery btw.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
If you flashed 1.4.0 I think there may be issues with that version and how gapps works on it. That is one reason why I still have not added it to the 1st and 2nd posts.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I fixed the problem with the GPS icon not disappearing after leaving maps and navigation.

I am still looking into the lights.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Flash this update from recovery with no wipe to fix the GPS icon issue.

If it fixes gps and, with luck, lights let me know.

http://www.multiupload.com/RA1QX4G3A5
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fonsigno:
fantastic giant thanks for update :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
Does nothing for the button lights I'm afraid.

But yes, the gps icon issue seems to be fixed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Thanks for the feedback. I will keep trying...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fonsigno:
giant i have installed the hwupdate , and i have the battery drain(in 2 minute 10 % of battery) and button lights doesn 't work
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
well I appended a line

cat /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/button-backlight/max_brightness > /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/button-backlight/brightness

to /system/etc/init.d/30tweaks, and my phone's buttons are lit again. They just take an awfully long time to switch off :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] spydersly:
ok today test battery 6:00 am 100% 16:00pm 85 % very good with data and sync on but my probleme when i put brigtness on the battery drain very fast

My brightness at low and the battery drain fast but when I close brightness the battery is good i change my wallpaper because now is very dificult to view with brightness off
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fonsigno:
Giant button lights work :-) but i have a battery drain. :-s with phone airplane mode 40% brightness :-s
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
Then I don't get it, why didn't button lights work for me?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
airplane mode is a known cause of battery drain

let me try something else here....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
Number keys not working when on the phone(v2)

Hey giant

I am running v2 and Super fast :) Thanks so much to all involved.

I am also having not drain, but heavy battery use then the screen is on.

Another issue is when talking on the phone, the keyboard is locked, and the green/red wheel is there all the time, kinda makes it hard to access messages on the answering machine :)

BUT I must say again as with froyorider, this gives my trusty old phone something to live for. It feels like 20% faster, and works so much better with all big features working 100%
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
I tested my battery yesterday, using V2, not the newest.

Turn off auto brightness, make the brightness at the low level.

Turn on WIFI, full charged from 8.00 am.

Make around 10 phone call (short), using XDA app around 30 minutes, played Games around 20 minutes, other around 20 minutes.

So 1% at 9.00pm.

In my point, the battery is good enough.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Not sure if I mentioned this yet, but this was brought to my attention.

Some games like Angry Birds are not playing if installed normally. But if you go into Settings -> Applications and move Angry Birds to the phone internal memory from the SD card it then works fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
After charging the phone to 100% yesterday morning and using it normally, some phone calls, text messages, polling e-mail every 10 minutes. 2 hours of bluetooth.

Down to 75% for a full day. Damn good.

About the keyboard in the quoted port, it's the numeric keyboard I am talking about.

Quoting my own post, what am I doing :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
Hi Giant

Can u check about this?

Tks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vercetti:
works fins with me. i can enter any letter and it will show me contacts that have that letter somewhere in their info.

for example if i enter "L" the phone will show me a contact named john. because his mail adress has an "L" in it (for example little_john@xxx.xxx).

so it searches thru everything. of course "lisa" is shown as well.

does that answer your question?

greetz,

v.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vercetti:
i read that someone posted he couldn't get angry birds to start. only if he changed something in the installation (i think apps2sd). how about "glow hockey"? i download and install it from market but it won't open. i'll try what he posted, let's see what happens...

greetz,

v.

edit: ok i checked now. moving the game to phone storage solved the problem. it was installed on ext partition and wouldn't start. now it does. shouldn't it run no matter where it's installed?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
BTW I tried to "fix" the button lights using the old HeroLed app (free version), but it didn't work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
The problem here is it happened with my contact name begin with 'rep'. even I type R but it still can not search these contact. other words are Ok.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
I think that 2.3.2 is different with 2.1 about this. Same app worked when I installed into ext in 2.1 but did not work in 2.3.2. Need to move back to phone.

If don't chose installation location to external in CM extra, we can see some apps can not move to Sd in Applicalication\manage applications.If we force it to install in sd or ext, it will not work.

in my test, almost app with widget need to be install in phone, not in sd or ext.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
Hi Giant_Rider

Good to see you put together such a good ROM :)

Question for you...is FB contact sync working?

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Thanks Alex, but as I have said before, this rom is only possible due to Feeyo and carz especially as well as some other devs such as ezterry, Firerat, the CM team, etc. I just helped put it together for our phones :)

The last time I tested it, FB sync was working. I assume it has not broken since then. Do a backup and give it a go....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
My brightness is not on the highest setting. I think it is in the middle somewhere. I use the Power Widget to lower it down from the max.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Taknarosh:
Battery Drain is a bit concerning on this ROM, my phone mostly on standby has ate through 92% of the battery in less than 6h 30m.

I'll try reflashing the latest ROM and try calibrating my battery and see if it helps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Did you read through the thread?

Try taking a look at what apps, widgets and processes are running. Also, consider how you use wifi, GPS, 3G, sync, etc.

For example, the 3G signal in my home is weak. No matter what rom I have flashed at any time, my battery drains quickly at home if I leave 3G on. I believe my phone frequently searches for the signal once it gets drops. The same happens to me when I ride the train to work. The solution for me is to turn off 3G when on the train and at home.

I use the Power Widget to turn off 3G, wifi, GPS, and auto-sync most of the time. I get 1-2 days easy without charging with these settings and my usage.
