I think there's a problem with the button's backlights. They doesn't work for me and i know someone that has the same issue.

v.1.9.1 with OC 710Mhz kernel. With v.1.8.0 i had no problem with backlights.

Apart from this, great work in this ROM! It's by far the best ROM i ever tested in my magic. Thanks! ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] orange_24:
i have the same problem with gps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ntadeusz:
I have no such problems. First, I have had Cronos 1.8.0. When 1.9.0 was released, first I used Titanium Back Up for all my applications. Second I wiped all, despite that giant_rider wrote, that is such situation that wasn't needed.

After all i flashed new 1.9 ROM and restored all my application. Then flashed patch 1.9.1 and my Magic works like a charm, I have no problem with GPS, Ligts, leds etc.

I recomended do it same way.

If I wanna update from 1.8 to 1.9

Do I have to wipe? or can I just flash it over the 1.8 version?

Secondly, do I need to calibrate my battery again?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ntadeusz:
Calibrate battery is not necessery.

I strongly recomended this:

First, I have had Cronos 1.8.0. When 1.9.0 was released, first I used Titanium Back Up for all my applications. Second I wiped all, despite that giant_rider wrote, that is such situation that wasn't needed.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] drbobb:
@Ntadeusz: I don't think the button lights work correctly in any version of GBRider_Cronos, and giant rider himself has said he has no idea how to fix them. Of course you might have no problem with that, if you don't pay attention to them :o

Launcher Pro still lag sometimes.

Auto reboot phone still happened but the phone started from Cronos Logo, not HTC MAgic logo..

I calibrated my phone then flashed V.190 and the battery life seems not better. Unplug charger at 8am, wifi on, 3g disable, made 10 calls (around 15-20 minutes total), 5 minutes of browser, most time my phone is at standby. Now at 8.30pm, my battery is 10%

my cpu set at 245/652.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
Also, the signal is not good because my AP just only 2 meters far from me and the signal is only

at 1st level
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Stijnaw:
Thanks for the really nice ROM! I really love it!

I flashed the 710MHz kernel yesterday and it runs fine. Today I unplugged my Phone at 7.20am and until now (only standby) still 100% of battery!

I have a little question:

If I want to change the kernel, do I need to wipe and reinstall or can I just Flash another kernel?

Once again, thx for making this ginger ROM with camera and video function again ;-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sleeepy2:
@Stijnaw

Just flash the kernel. No need to wipe.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Maybe but the kernel and wlan.ko module are the same in both roms.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zegui:

Why does the phone is allways in silent mode when we turn it on?

Thanks again for the great ROM, Giant!

Not sure about lights/leds. Will keep trying stuff.

I will update this weekend to v1.9.2. I'll watch the feedback in the Hero Cronos forum first. Can't get to it tonight anyway.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Nel Del:
Take your time sir!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
I have a problem with 1.9.1 after doing all the upgrades by flashing over the previous installation I ended up with apps disappearing so I just decided to do a fresh 1.9.0+1.9.1 install and I ended up with a stable OS but I have a problem...my Music app and the OS itself looks like it does not see the folders on the SD card where I have my music (nothing changed here recently)...

So as a result of this I can't set ringtones that I have on the SD card and Music application doesn't show any albums/songs.

If I go with a File Explorer I can see them and play them...any ideas?

All I can think of is some folder permissions are not properly set...will look into that.

Another thing I have noticed it's an inconsistence in Market application with regards to apps that are installed/not installed, especially the updates over the gapps...any suggestion how to fix this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
I don't have a direct solution for your problem, but having ringtones on SD card is annoying when mounting to a computer. It will not be able to use it, so copy your favorite ringtone to phone memory.

adb devices

adb shell

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

cp sdcard/Music/ringtones/MyRingtone.mp3 system/media/audio/ringtones/MyRingtone.mp3
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
Thanks man :) I found the solution to my first problem with media files, I started my phone without the SD card and ran Music app (which was complaining that I don't have any SD card!? as if you can only have music on the SD card anyways). After I plugged in the SD card I guess the service the scans for media was triggered and now I can see all my files.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] SnowmanDK:
Well, I also ended up with problems in 1.9.1:

Apps was not installed according to the Market app...

I could repir it several times a day using Titanium Backup's Market Doctor...

The phone started freezing while sleeping... even after only a few minutes...

Had to pull the battery every time to get it back to life.

My solution:

Revert to v1.9.0. It runs stable on my phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
Titanium Backup's Market Doctor didn't manage to update Market links :(

I'm just afraid that by always flashing newer versions on top of older installs we are covering some real problems that new adopters might face.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zegui:
GPS doesn't work

I did all that but i have the problem with GPS. The first time i switch it on it works but then it doesn't work again! Any solution?

Thanks

Did you try the fix I posted here:

EDIT: Think I misunderstood you. The fix is only for problems getting a fix on the satellites. Sorry...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I usually do a full wipe when updating to a new version. I don't use many features though, so I'm not the most thorough tester.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
That's good :) depending on the changelog you can chose to ask some people to test it before

Question for giant_rider :)

According to your signature then you have 3 recovery roms.

Recovery: recovery-RA-magic+-v1.7.0.1.img
Recovery: recovery-RA-magic+-v2.0.0.1-seo.img
Recovery: recovery-RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.6.2.img

Which one do you use?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] man_alone:
I have an issue with a battery life. When phone is in standby it's quite good but as soon as I actually start to use phone with screen turned on, display battery usage jumps up to 75-90% even with some heavy 3g browsing. Does this ROM use native HTC Magic display driver or something different (borrowed from other phone)? Is someone else having this problem or is it just me? Maybe I need to install different recovery as I have 1.6.2H right now. I seem to have the same issue on Cronos 1.5 and latest 1.9.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I have been using Recovery: recovery-RA-magic+-v1.7.0.1.img without issue. I used the others up until maybe early Feb 2011.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] iliaskone:

Hey. I have had this issue twice now.

"The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stop"

There is a workaround in this thread: Remove market updates.

Anyone else with this issue, a permanent fix or a way to disable market app Auto update?

did a full wipe from 190 to 193. booted fine, but while trying to reinstall some apps i got a freeze and soft reboot from cronos screen. after the reboot, i had no lockscreen, home and call didn't work, and notification widget settings were forgotten. in the process of reflashing now. before the problem, it did seem a bit snappier, so good job and thanks to giant and everyone else.

Wiped and flashed again. Same thing happened. Now I'm frustrated. Going to go back to 190 and just wipe dalvik. Hope the third times the charm

wanted to let you know about an issue I found in version 1.9.0. and 1.9.3:

When using ADW-launcher or Launcher-Pro: Press menu - Preferences (the button on the bottom right-side) -> you will get double menu items displayed

(problem here is, that at the moment I can not reproduce it...)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] halo140288:
I use v1.9.3, when the phone is on the home screen, I press menu button and I see a list: Add, Wallpaper, search, Notifications, Prefences,

Others

.

Then I touch

Others

, and I see another list: settings, add, wallpaper, search, notifications, preferences...and continue to repeat that order by 3 again.

For my current 1.9.3, should I wipe again (and re-install kernel, gapps & GPS fix),

or just un-zip and install the 1.9.4?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Nel Del:
when i just flashed 1.9.4 over 1.9.3, i lost my google account so i had to do the whole 9 yards (rom, kernel, gapps) but without the wipe.

Hi

i flash 1.9.4

when i press home button there is a withe line horizontal then passe on my black screen before my home page opens up

how do i get that line to sytop appearing

before flash i wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot

thank you
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
I think you are referring to the on/off animations :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I wiped cache and then dalvik-cache and had no issues.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
If I understand what happened (I am making an assumption or two), what happened to you has nothing to do with the rom. It had to do with recovery, flashing, updating, etc. in general.

In order to prevent this in the future, you have to (1) flash the new rom version, (2) flash gapps, and then (3) reboot. This will prevent you from losing your gapps account settings. Also, if you use an oc kernel, then you will have to (4) flash the kernel after you rebooted one time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pintspin:
i have flashed the accelerometer thing but still not luck Gsensor is not workable...... any clue or any update ? plus memeory is also showing 30 available out of 192, i didnt started to open any app yet but still low memory
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sleeepy2:
hmmm, I came form 1.9.2 wiped dalvik-cache only, also using Carz kernel 710 MHz + extra 10MB RAM now showing 72MB Free.

NICE!

previously I think I only had 40MB Free.

Only two minor issues is the key lights that you know about (that I am not that worried about. would be nice but what ever). And the screen on/off animations (can't get them to work but I care even less about these).

Nice work to all and thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] PurpleFries:
Hang on a sec, you have to install rom, gapps, reboot(into recovery?), then kernel then reboot again?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sleeepy2:
nope install rom, gapps, kernel (if you want it) then reboot.

battery drain on 1.9.3-1.9.4?

hey giant i want your opinion.i think that i have unusual behavior of my battery.i calibrati it before i install 1.9.3 with the vilain way and i notice that i have unbalance battery drain a lot % at night when i sleep or 3% after a 5 minute call.i have install the same apps except the juice plamer.i use the 710 kernel+10mb.do you think that is the best kernel for these roms or the 610?

thanks in advance!!!

my settings are 352/633
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I don't think it is related to the kernel. I experience the approximately same drain with both of the kernels you listed. My battery performance is very good with this rom. Not sure what the deal is for you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] iliaskone:
ok.i am a fan of cronos roms.i think they are very stable and full.i think that my battery was better with 1.8.maybe its my idea,but last night ihave a 24%battery drain in 6 hours when i have slept!

wifi-gps-sync close.maybe is that juice ploter.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] spydersly:
I put to off and now it ok thank you
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Drag0nh3art76:
Great ROM so far for me.

I also experience problems before but i get over them.

1. Battery Drain : This is expected with a new rom. I'am calibrating my battery after i installed the rom, and guys if your still using that old battery don't expect it to perform like a new one. And use a low ampere charger when charging overnight i tell you it helps a lot.

2. On/Off animation: this is working for me when i'm O'ced at 652 but i'm not liking it.

3. Live Wallpaper: this is not working for me, but others say it will work with at least a class 6 SD card.

4. Led lights. Yeah still not working but it does'nt bother me, thou it'll be great if it is.

Overall this is still a great ROM

Thanks Giant! for keeping our Magic Alive.

Great rom, and thank you. Can you help me with the gallery, 3D UI seem slow and inconvenient. I prefer 2D just like iphone
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadow_empire1:
2 issues...

one of them which I have also seen on older cronos builds:

It happend 3 times, when the phone was under heavy loads (many open programs) -> phone freezes and reboots

after reboot all my apps and gapps were not displayed anymore.

only solution was to flash rom, gapps and kernel again :(

the other issue is new with 1.9.4 I would say:

when swiping down in any open app with a bright background (eg: market) you see a grey frame under you finger...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadow_empire1:
another problem I have already reported in the past still exists which is very frustrating.

Making a nandbackup with recovery-RA-magic+-v2.0.0.1-seo and restoring after full wipe,

never restores everything.

eg. Market, titanium backup, launcher pro, cm-settings are all lost

so nandroid-restore renders my backup totally unuseable.

only fix for that: flash the whole stuff (rom, gapps, kernenl) again and setup from scratch...

any idea?
