First try: Flash gapps again and there is a good change that it will show up.

Second try: menu->Preferences->Hidden apps, make sure market is NOT checked. Save settings, even if you don't change anything. Sometimes LancherPro is messing up the list of apps.

Third try: Full flash again with reboot and boot up for every time you flash something.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vieto2m:
Register your Google account in Settings / Accounts & sync. Market app will be setup :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Nel Del:
Sir, while you're on it, could you also check why sometimes from sleep/screen lock, blank black screen appears no matter what you press to wake it up? I can see the backlight is on but it's just showing pure black. Phone also responds by vibrating when I swipe it to unlock even though I see nothing on the screen. I have to press all the buttoms randomly to finally bring it back to normal. Few times, screen will not go back. A reboot is needed. Only happened when I installed the latest ROM. Thank you!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
I have had the same issue tree times all in all using this ROM, all cases after 1.8 if I remember correctly.

Try read this from Cronos forum, I haven't tried it, but let me know if it helps, you seems to have a good repro.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Nel Del:
What does "Permanently removed support for CM" mean?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
Feeyo removed "CM settings" from the ROM and doing a tweak app by him self.

It's not done yet, but he is working on it.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Sorry, I have been busy lately. I just read about the update. I will try to port tonight or this weekend.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
Sounds great, looking forward to it.

looking at Cronos forum, people there seems very happy about this release. Fast and better for the battery.

I think some of the gapps are in the ROM already. Just a heads up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Nel Del:
It worked. I did a full wipe/reset in recovery, wipe dalvik, and the other one (I forgot. I think it's wipe cache). Apps reinstalled automatically (I set it that way), though some had to be re-installed manually. But yes, I'm not experiencing the black screen anymore. Thanks Mr. H-DK for the link!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gkenny1991:
pics of the rom pls ? i might try it if the look is good :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
Looks good?

This ROM is good in any way. Fast as hell, battery is fantastic, I even like the background picture :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] svpb:
well this rom has been serving me well.

im still on 1.95 and been using it since first day posted.

it started getting buggy after 3.5 weeks and i have had to wipe cache 2 times to get it back to stable.

im eager to run a newer version on my phone . I was going to put 2.1.0 this weekend but read the post about your work on 2.2.0 so im holding off.

do we have any idea how its coming along , if there has been any testing on it.

im always interested. as usual
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] svpb:
just checking you sig , i see you have the old radio. ...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
It is a port from Cronos and after what I have seen from there forum, they are happy about this release, so a lot of testing there.

Then there is the porting to Magic. Here we are in the best hands of giant_rider. I will update when he is ready with the release.

About your cache wipes, I have never had those issues myself.

Happy flashing
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] svpb:
the cache wipes i had to do on 2 diffrent times about a week apart. i did this along with the cache mate app
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
LibLights for Cronos 2.2

Hey giant_rider

If you have time, can you take a look at LibLights to see if it need a port to work on Magic to.

Thanks for your work once again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
GAPPS for Cronos 2.2

Hello again giant_rider.

I can see that Feeyo released a GAPPS packed, do to issues with the once in his ROM. Just a heads up.

Looking forward to your release.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
Cronos 2.2 GPS fix

Hi giant_rider

Feeyo is working on a patch for the GPS, it's a work in progress. Just if you want to wait and have it all in.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Nel Del:
Giant_rider's having too much fun with his Nook. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wa_xda:
thanks for the ROM..it works really quick..

but may I ask if i could use htc sync? seems now it just could connected as usb..thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wa_xda:
also may i ask if now i can sync contacts' fb photo as the pic for incoming calls?

previously i used smoki that stock phone.apk..its with smart dialer function..

i like all abt this ROM but seems the dialer is not quite user friendly..

its juz my comment..thanksss for your great work anyway!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
Your contacts are mapped to your google account, so they will be there when you login to your account.

Pictures from facebook will also be in your contact after you login to facebook and it sync first time.

It should work out of the box.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wa_xda:
thanks..but coz previously i sync with google account

i always get the error process.acore stopped unexpectedly

i surf online n ppl saying that its caused by duplicated contacts info

n i didnt got any contacts from google..all contacts stored in outlook

when i export them out from outlook..the chinese words cant b decoded..

so i want to use htc sync to sync the contacts to phone memory..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
I don't know anything about Chinese, sorry. Maybe giant_rider knows something, else try to look in Cronos forum, I have seen something about Chinese issues there a while ago. I think you need to sign up to see the forum.

http://www.cronosproject.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=56
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wa_xda:
Thanks Mr.H-DK for yr kind reply

i will take my time to read the forum later :)

however, seems i still cannot sync the incoming calls pic

may i ask how to do so? i hv already login the fb app..

but when i back to contacts..i cannot choose pic from fb
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
It will add fb pictures and a fine little icon on your contact, telling you they are linked.

Did you add your fb account in settings->Account & Sync->AddAccount same place as your Google account is?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wa_xda:
i already added the fb account..but seems still cannot sync for the incoming call pic

when i edit each contact for the pic..i cannot choose the fb
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] potoco:
Good job, excelent ROM, fast, smooth, some chance of an Phone Dialer App with smart dialer?, thanks.

Regards
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
It sounds like it's time for a reflash, something is fishy. You could try to boot the ROM up every time you flashed something(ROM, GAPPS, GPS_FIX ...).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] koolcoolers:
i've been using v2.0.1 since last month, it is superb, with less flaw.

looking forward for your latest update this week :p

TQVM
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wa_xda:
you mean go to recovery mode to flash the ROM again?

will that remove my data in the phone? thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Sorry guys I have been busy with a small start up I am involved in and have actually also been neglecting my Nook :)

I will try to port 2.2 as soon as it's out. If it's out already will try asap.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
Hey giant_rider.

2.2 is out.

New GAPPS

Feeyo made a patch to fix some GPS issues. After what I can read in the forum, it's not working, so no reason to include it I guess.

There is a LibLights patch to get old look back on the LEDs, can you port it to, if it needs porting for Magic.

Today Feeyo announced this: I got some new goodie patches on my sources :) So expect an update one of these days.

Again, thanks for your work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
Yes go to recovery mode to flash the ROM again.

Yes it will remove you data, remember to clear the caches. Use Titanium Backup before flashing, eases the pain a little.

You could also wait for giant_riders port of 2.2 and get the latest version.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Nel Del:
Goodluck on that startup!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wa_xda:
okay thanks! i better wait for the 2.2 :p

btw may i ask if i want to hv 710 kernel instead of my current 614..

is that juz go to recovery mode to flash juz the kernel is ok?

or need to flash all stuff again like ROM -> gapp -> kernel -> gps?

and will this harm the data in phone? thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wa_xda:
btw i hv set a SILENT profile and created a new application group

several apps are put under that group and set to be just vibrate

but seems it doesn't work, those apps still have sound when receiving notification

however for the preset group like phone, message and Gmail, it works fine

may i ask how to fix this? thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
I don't think it will harm data. I have always done it when flashing new ROM and whipped all. just go to recovery and flash kernel 710. I am using 710, but only running 614.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Billaferd:
Hello all,

I have been using 2.1.0 for almost a week now and I have to say that it is amazing; but, I have two slight problems that may need to be looked at:

1. Battery Drain - I don't know why but the battery drain is really bad. I had to install Juice Defender and put it on aggressive mode just to get a full 8 hour dayt out of it. I have turned off GPS, BT, Wi-Fi, 3G, set the minimum cpu to 176 Mhz, maximum cpu to 691 Mhz and the Governer to On-Demand. With these settings I still only get about 8.5 hours of standby time. I added the 710 OC patch, is that what could be causing this? should I go to a lower overclock?

2. Notification Sounds - More of an inconvienience then anything. Some of the System notification sounds are in the Ringtones folder and therefore unavailable as notifications, I fixed this by SSH'ing in to the phone and cp'ing them over to the proper folder. Maybe this could be looked at for the next release?

Overall, This is the best experience I have had on my Magic and I can't believe my two year old phone is the envy of nearly every iPhone 3GS/4 user I know.

Thank you for putting this together Giant_Rider, you are awesome!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] parizene:
Thanks for the ROM, but why are the games so slow (Hyper Jump, Speedx)? How I can fix this? Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] {ROn1N}:
Weird... I've been using 2.1.0 for a while and I think the battery life is pretty damned good compared to other ROMs I used in the past! Right now I'm at 54% battery after 1d 2h 45m (mostly standby mind you). I've got bluetooth and wifi on all the time, so I could squeeze out even more uptime if I wanted to! CPU speed is set to 652Mhz wake/352Mhz sleep.

You also might want to check your apps refresh settings, if your e-mail app is scanning for new mail every 5 minutes it's going to take a toll on your battery life!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Billaferd:
I think I figured it out. I checked my battery stats and here is what it says:

Cell Standby - 68%

Time On: 5h 16m 59s

Time w/o signal: 8%

So it is probably not the rom and my carrier. I should have checked the battery usage before but I didn't even think about it. Maybe I'll see if one of the other carriers has better coverage in my area.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Nel Del:
I've used this rom since it's early stages and battery drain's my #1 issue. Also like you, how this rom handles signal/carrier is my #1 suspect as well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
It's a known issue that the phone/ROM seems to burn a lot of battery when the signal is weak.

If I use RADIO 6.35.16.19 I have pour signal, but with 6.35.10.18 fantastic signal. So switching RADIO could help.

One of my experiences with this was on a boat, where I had pour signal. My phone lasted half a day and normally I have two-tree days, normal use. I used it for writing 3 text messages that day.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zegui:
Hi, giant_rider, any news about the new 2.2 update?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Nel Del:
Switching to .18 huh... interesting. Will wait for giant's new port. Then i'll see. Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nooty90:
is it true? waiting report for the other who use .18
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
There is nothing new about this.

Depending on the country and the provider you can try .18 or .19

Use radio switcher, super easy to do.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wa_xda:
i have reinstalled the ROM and added the fb account..

but where can i map up my phone contacts with fb for the incoming call pic?

also, seems my signal always lost..is that possible for the "radio" causing so?

i m from hong kong, any radio suggested? thanksss!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Shailendra Garg:
Know u r very busy ........

But waiting for 2.2 for yet

another week.....Bhooo Bhooo Bhooo :-(

Jokes away best wishes for your start up....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Billaferd:
I had to double check in fast boot but here are my settings:

PVT: 32A

Hboot: 1.76.2007

Radio: 6.35.10.18

I might try switching to 6.35.10.19 and see if that helps any.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
Give it a go, you can always switch back.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wa_xda:
Mr. H-DK

can u pls advise where can i map up my phone contacts with fb for the incoming call pic? thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
It happens automatically when you have added your google and fb account.

I don't know what it uses to map them, but my guess is the email, so do you have email on your contacts matching fb?

It has worked out of the box for me every time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blaster44:
Please, port latest build to magic :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wa_xda:
my phone suddenly keep rebooting =_=

wt can i do if i didnt do any back up before?

nand backup helps or not?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
1. Boot into recovery menu and flash again, you will lose data.

2. Boot into recovery menu and do a NAND if you have one, will get you back to when you took the back(you will lose data).

PS. It sound like you are very unlucky, had a really bad ROM flash or your phone is singing the song of death.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
Cronos 2.2.1 Patch is out

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
No clue, sorry.

Some people in the forum is good at looking at logcat data. I think you need to apply some more data it someone should have a change of helping you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Nel Del:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nooty90:
giant, where are u???
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] onimorza:
We are all impatient, but he's doing this for free in his spare time so give him a break, he (probably) has a life too outside of this :D

Otherwise he could train some good members to take part or take over this project?

Anyways, we love you! (and Feeyo too ofcourse :rolleyes:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Nel Del:
he's on break for almost a month now. just kiddin. i know everything you said. this is free and he's got a life outside this. in fact, he's starting up a business.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MoreYummy:
is there any major bugs that need to be fixed?

it seems ok
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Nel Del:
for me it's the battery drain. idk if it's the radio, my carrier or just my 1 year old battery. but feeyo's new releases are promising slower battery drains.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Sorry guys. I'm still around. I just haven't been able to check in on a regular basis for a while. My wife and I are busy launching an e-commerce website so we've been busy. This is on top of our 9-5 jobs and raising 2 young kids.

I have been keeping an eye on Feeyo's forum. I was waiting until his latest releases stabilized a bit and then I was planning on porting. Release 2.2.0 had a few issues and so does 2.2.1 it seems, so I was not rushing.

When Feeyo fixes the issue with google services crashing on 2.2.1 I will port asap.

BTW I don't mind it when you guys ask for stuff. It doesn't bother me at all. Unfortunately I have not been able to respond with a current port :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wa_xda:
after flashing the 614 kernel, is that i dun need to use the OC app such as "overclock widget"?

coz i dunno why my "overclock widget" juz show the max freq to be 528000..

i dunno if it is reli working or not..thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] claude96:
great to know that you're still around , take your time porting a good rom as usual , and best of luck with your private life.:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Nel Del:
hows that ecommerce going? hope it's doing well
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Thanks. Our site is 95% complete. In a few weeks it will be done and live. Then we need to load product for our first sales and market. So things are moving. We're psyched and anxious at the same time.

I dont have an account on cronos project. Can any one give an update from that fourm
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mr.H-DK:
Feeyo think that 2.2.1 is to buggy to work with, he is making a new 2.2.2 soon. This was yesterday.

You can make a Cronos account for free if you want to keep up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] svpb:
Thanks for the update, ill look into an account
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] OptimatorX:
Yup, second that!

I'll be happy to help you out with some backlinks in return for all your great work!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] onimorza:
I had an account before there, but that one doesn't work any more now their site has changed..

Tried to create new one but apparently the site has problems sending emails (with confirmation link or forgot pw link,..).

"Unable to send e-mail. Please contact the site administrator if the problem persists."

Someone with the same problem?

I've been trying different things for some time now, tought it would go away from itself but nothing..

Anyone has site admin email?

Cronos 1.3.0 is out. Can we expect new relase today?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] biictorr:
Thats happened to me a few times too. If the phone goes into airplane mode, and you leave it alone, it will not respond to anything and the battery must be pulled out to reboot. I think it happened to me on FroyoRider too.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tocw:
screen please . . i cldnt find
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I'll do my best tonight.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I'm wondering if maybe it's an issue with carz's kernel (this is a total guess).

To save battery I don't use airplane mode for this reason. Try turning off wifi, GPS, BT (which you're probably doing anyway), 3G and auto-sync. I get 2-3 days when I turn those features off.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
I'll have a look and see whats happening, .7 kernel or newer GB kernel?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
This a random thing that happens? I can't get it to do it on Diet GB so far.

I'll set it to airplane mode tonight and see what happens in the morning.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] biictorr:
I didn't flash any kernel after the rom so I think its the .7 kernel for me. And like I said earlier, im pretty sure it also happened to me on froyorider.

On another note, I just flashed your 614 kernel and got 370 in quadrant. Awesome. Thanks for all your work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I am uploading a new release. You can try flashing with no wipe first and with luck everything will work that should. If you have problems try wiping /cache and /dalvik-cache at least.

I am also uploading a new version of gapps. I suggest flashing it. Voice search is working and I am not sure if it will work with the previous versions of gapps.

I will update the links in the first and second thread in ~20-30 min when the uploads are done.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I've updated links in first and second post.

After you flash and boot, if you have no sound, go into Settings -> Sound and select and phone ringtone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] albert emmer:
Giant, i still using your rom v1, so far problems i got:

1. voice search (but voice dialer seems working for me)

2. trackball and button backlight (using notifylight trackball glows)

3. airplane mode (not battery drain but screen on problem)

USB connect ok, only on adb devices not detected

all games are okay, i just make sure not remove to sd card.

usb tether and youtube hd i dont know i never use it at the moment.

v2 i will test soon..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
The trackball now glows when a call comes in.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fonsigno:
with new update the screen animation doesn t work . restart when you turn on wi fi.

the rest all goes well and smoothly
