Request: HTC Magic "fast & clean" Hero rom ;) - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

Is there any (already / in the making) Hero rom for Magic that would have all the goodies (New calendar, dialer, contacts, camera,..) without Rosie (which I presume is the main cause to slow down the device?) ?
If i am shooting in the dark here, please turn the light on for me
P.S. I hope Sapphire / Magic dev thread explodes soon,.. It makes me sad when i look into Dream's section to see all these cool roms poping out every day

I'm trying to learn how to do this.
If anyone can point which direction to take will be helpful.

I would reather wait for someone to make it
I've read androidani is working on a hero rom so fingers crossed

If someone can point me to the "fast & clean" hero rom (without rosie) but with all other goodies (calendar, dialer, contacts,..) please do so.
How much work would it take to port this baby to Magic?

There's only one Rosie HTC HERO Rom around the web and imho....
It's a waste of time playing on a superbuggy beta rom !
It's incomplete and it has a lot of apps force close after a while.
Just wait a newest and surely fastest *leaked* or not *leaked* Rom with Rosie !

Yes i guess you're right,.. It might come out on 24th of June (hooray) with the actual device Hero?

When I looked at the hero contacts I found it useless. You did not seem to be able to view the "My Contacts" category which appears in your gmail account and was the main group I used.

It's not the same;
sim: is obviously from the sim card
phone: seems to be whatever is imported
google: seems to be ONLY those you starred ion google
Leaveing me where I was, they is no way do view the group which is "My Contacts"
I hope this does not end up be like this in the final port!

SMS in Diamond2

Do you see graphic smileys in your Diamond2 SMS tab? I only see textual smileys, and HTC support said the only solution is to install a 3rd party program.
If none of you can see graphic smileys, what are you using to see them?
This post is not related with graphic smiles but as it is related with sms i will post it here and avoid several threads.
It happens frequently that when I switch on the display I receive de alert sound of a new sms. The sms was received before, sometimes a long time before but the alert sound only sounds when the display is switched on.
Anyone having the same problem?
Thanks

You mean the "flip album" interface in the "people" tab? Post a link to what you're referring to.
If that is what you mean, then just tap on the + button and add a favorite contact. This is a place you can store favorite contacts, ones that already exist in your contact list. Once you tap the + button, you can select a picture, etc.

Odd, I hate a stock ROM as well. What's your version?
This phone came with different versions, I heard some got a 4GB storage card free with the phone, while I got nothing. Had to buy one myself.

[APP REQUEST] Social Centric Phonebook

Hello all,
I hope I'm not infringing on some forum rules by asking/posting in this format.
I am looking for a Social centric phonebook much alike the one found with HTC sense or other customized interfaces.
To be clear I'd like to find all information attached to a particular contact in 1 place. So if I get to Mr X, i'll see all text messages ever exchanged with him, his facebook, twitter, what have you page and call logs.
I've seen Phonebook 2.0 www [.] voxmobili [.] com / phonebook / which looks just about right except it appears it hasn't been launched yet.
So is there anything right now that could do the trick.
Note: My nexus is 1 week old if even and I'd rather not root for now but I'd be glad to hear about apps that'd require rooting, for future reference.
Many thanks
www.getaddressbook.com
does what you wwant, but its not perfect. Hopefully it will improve.
That's definitely a good start thanks. I see that the latest version has FB disabled though, I'm not a big user but most of my contacts will be from there so I'm pondering a bit on whether I'll wait or install right away

Are you sure? This appears to be the same version I used to use... You have to install the 'mix-ins' seperately comprende? Or did you do that and it still didn't work? If you want, you can ***** at the dev here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623851

[APP] SnapSwap - Android Photoswap clone

Hi all
Im new here so I hope this is posted right. Ive developed an Android app that is similar to the iPhone Photoswap app. For those not aware, Photoswap lets you take a photo and send it to a random person, and you will in return receive a random photo back. You can then take part in picture-conversations with the person who you received a photo from.
Ive had a couple people testing my app and it seems to just about ready (apart from using the default app icon), and I'd like to put it out there for others to start using (and hopefully provide some feedback on ) Im new to android development (although not new to programming itself), and this is my first android app. IMHO it works better than the similar Picswap app that exists already, as this doesnt force-close constantly or throw-out error messages regarding "corrupt" images
I have attached the APK with my post for anyone who wishes to download and install it
There is a known issue with the app at the moment that it does not (at least on HTC devices) delete any photos that you have taken, and they still appear in your Photos app. From what Ive found, using the camera Intent saves 2 copies of the photo to the SD card, and Ive only found one path from the URI to delete (so 1 copy is deleted, but the other remains). These can be deleted from the Photos app still however, but Im looking into how to delete these automatically from the app also.
Edit: The app also starts with a blank screen (no default image yet), just press the menu key to begin
Edit 16th September: New APK uploaded, fixes some threading issues and adds debug log output. Please download and install this as the old one may continue to run in the background and not pause properly when changing apps.
For those having issues, please use aLogCat (from the market) and filter by "SnapSwap" to access the debug log. Please PM me a copy of this along with your phone model and android version and I will look into it Most issues so far seem to be with Cyanogen Mod and Motorola users
hay, i'm one of the beta testers,
and this app is really nice
i hope the optic would be a bit better in the next beta , but it makes fun to "swapping" pictures with other testers !
it is much faster then "a world of photo" it never take longer then 10sec since i get a picture
Really nice and weLL done
Greetings from germany !
Thanks for sharing!
Im going to try make an icon for it soon along with a default image to be shown as well, and adjust the polling time with the server for replies (or even look at adding a push notification system to it)
Just updated the APK in my original post to fix some bugs as at least one user was not being assigned a unique ID properly, updated the server to watch for this also.
For those that have already installed the app, I recommend installing this one over it
If those that have installed it could provide some feedback it would also be greatly appreciated
nice idea i like it , i will share my photo with others sounds good
i will feed u back
I downloaded, installed and when i took a pic it immediately force closed.
Oh great, twenty bucks you get some picture of some dudes junk or some other nasty pic.

There has not been any unwanted material sent via it as yet. Im looking into the best way to ban those that would at the moment. As it is currently though, devices are only identified via a unique ID provided by the server the first time the device accesses it, and this is extremely simple to get around if I were to "block" a device.
To those that have had force-closures: Can you please let me know the following..
1) Do you have an SD Card installed?
2) What device are you using?
3) What version of Android are you running?
Works great for me on Samsung Vibrant. I only get one copy of the pictures (that I take), then of course the temp files SnapSwapImg.jpg (the last pic I took) and SnapSwapImg2.jpg (the last one I received). I totally dig the application! You can reply to pictures (of course, with other pictures), receive replies, and even continue your "pic conversation" with that individual. Yeah, you could end up with a dude's (or chick's, though I doubt there'd be many complaining) junk in exchange for your picture, but putting in any kind of regulation for something like that just ruins the whole point of the application. Can't wait to see this adopted by more people.

Sounds pretty cool; I'll try it out. How many unique users do you have?
how do u download it?
This is just like the PicRoulette app. You take a picture, and it sends you the latest picture someone else just took.

Best answer I could find, and it makes sense:
This isn't possible from an OS level. That share menu is populated by Android based on what apps you've installed declare they can open. You can look at the technical details here, but the end result is that without extra coding from each individual app to filter the results, you are always going to get the full list in whatever order Android returns them in.

http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/8112/is-there-a-way-to-edit-the-share-menu
Basically in the apps code somewhere it states that it has the ability to use the Share function, so it's automatically added. Without removing the code or removing the app altogether, Android sees the app and adds it. Might be something someone a lot smarter than myself would be able to write an app that manipulates this somehow. But from what I'm seeing it hasn't been done.
thanks man, its ok if just cant be done, everything has limitations...
Would it be possible to have a separate share app that lets you add options (like "SMS to Bob") as well as hide some of the defaults? That app itself could be registered as a "sharing" app (maybe sorting to the top of the list?) or could be launched individually. So a process flow could be to launch this share app, load up the gallery, choose the photo, choose the destination. And that process would be just as convenient as launching the gallery, choosing the photo, selecting to share, and selecting the destination. Same number of steps.

Hi,
Setup is the app that runs when you first boot up on a fresh install(same with wizard?)
Taking out Twitter may cause synching issues.
Not sure about o2.
The rest looks superfluous.
Have you ever considered ROM CLEANER ?

Hi,
There is no shame in asking.
Patric , craack and Dude are really helpful.
Essentially ,get ROMCleaner_user.txt and open it with Notepad++.
Put a "#" in front of everything you want to keep.
ahh champion thanks mate, so if i flashed it it would make a list of everything installed on my phone then i would go throught it and put # in frount of whatever i wanted to keep, see thats the part i get lost at.

Hi,
Not quite.
There are 3 parts to this process.
1.put
Folder Creator v1.3
Backup Tool v1.3
on your sd card and run them.
This will create the folders you need,and back up the apps you already have on your phone.
2.Open the ROMCleaner_user.txt with notepad++ and do the business with the "#"
You only have to do this once.
It takes a little while,but worth it in the long run.
3.Put the edited ROMCleaner_user.txt in the Rom Cleaner folder on your sd card,
and put ROM Cleaner v3.4 on your sd card as well.
4.Flash the new ROM.
5.Run ROM Cleaner v3.4 BEFORE it reboots
6.Reboot and enjoy a phone with very little [email protected] on it.
cool so i will have to start from scratch with rom or could i just backup current rom and do the process from that.

Hi,
Before you start this process,make sure you have a nandroid backup .
Although each line of the ROMCleaner_user.txt does have an explanation alongside it,mistakes can be made.
It took me a few goes to get it right
But well worth it in the end.
