What is the pause key?
'P' in the menu,its function is that it waits for a while before dialing a num for eg:
727p362
first it dials 727 then waits for like 5 sec and the dials 362, it can be added as many number of times to increase time in between the dialing of numbers!
i use it for my calling card ie call the num and the after a while enter my pin automatically instead of dialing the pin every single time
i think this is a problem because u added the htc keyboard, i think with the google keyboard this problem is not present
EDIT: JUST FOUND OUT THAT "," (comma) DOES THE SAME JOB!

The comma reminds of the old 2400 baud modem days, lol.
Which version of Chinese Language Input can I use?
I installed the one from your HoFo Official ROM thread but it causes my phone unable to boot.
Thanks.

I didn't try out your rom yet, but did you just replace the 3G icon with a H icon?
Please be aware that HSDPA isn't just 3G. You can be in an area without HSDPA but still on 3G. The H should only be displayed in case the network is HSDPA capabale.
@Hotweiss
Hi there,
I stumbled over your HOFO Rom (not this Ion one) and basically it is exactly what I've been looking for. It is fast and reliable. JacHeroski is nice but after sometime the shortcommings become annoying.
To avoid annoying you, I try to get now to the point. I tried to add Swiss German Input to your ROM, however failed (as with many things on android so far). Then I found out, that locales must be compiled and cannot be added.
Now would you mind posting a WWE edition of your ROM (I don't mind setting APN's manually).
Thank you very much in advance
@ the rest of non-Canadian 32A owners looking for a decent ROM:
support my bid
Regards
Frank
This ROM is perfect. It's very similar to cyanogen's ROM for the Dream/32B and is EXTREMELY fast on my Rogers 32A.
Thanks hotweiss, it's like you read my mind on every aspect of this (including using the Google dialer and keyboard).

Amon_RA, or hotweiss, have you looked at eachothers roms? (Amon_RA_1.1.0 and HOFO 1.03)
I've used both and from an end user perspective they both seem quite snappy, both appear to have significant kernel improvements and optimisations from more recent android drops, etc. Essentially they seem to be targetted similarely.
At first glance the deltas that catch my eye would be:
*Amon_RA first, HOFO second
google maps: 1.1.0, 1.2.0
office apps: SAME
Launcher: cyanogen 5/screen, 3 screen standard
Keyboard: HTC, HTC&GOOGLE
Dalvik: cupcake, donut (not sure on this)
Radio: XXXX, rogers
Additional Points of interest:
Amon_RA:
- Created odex files for all apk files in /system/app
- Stripped all apk files in /system/app from dex files
- many binaries from From JFv1.51, the benefit of which are primarily debugging/console application support/busybox etc?
HOFO:
- Other stuff that may be in the base nk02’s lite version that I have missed
That is a very high level and naive comparison, anything else that I should look at to help me decide which ROM to stick with?
Cheers,
Frank

As far as I know, the Ion ROM has one icon for 3G and 3.5G service. Since most of the Rogers network is 3.5G now, I decided to use the HSDPA icon.

Battery life. The Rogers ROM has the ability to turn off always-on mobile. Turning off this option increases the battery life substantially. In addition, the Rogers ROM has the HTC Exchange app which supports calendar and contacts.
Ah so for exchange I should switch back to the normal HoFo rom, and not use this ION rom? As I only see the 'work email' for exchange mail in the 1.03 HoFo Ion rom.

Yes, but don't turn off always-on mobile, as it is required for Exchange.
The Rogers radio should work fine elsewhere, too, right?

Hi hotweiss, does this ROM include HTC CIME?
Just wanted to let you guys know that this rom (The HoFo Ion ROM [1.03] 32a)
Works really good on my HTC Magic (HTC branded bought at tre.se in sweden)
The only thing im missing is the swedish dictionary. But I solved that by installing the Scandinavian keyboard found on the market.

3.14 Based on CE OS 5.2.19209 (provided by incognitho)
I'd like to thank everyone at XDA for the knowledge I gained, but especially cuboosh for testing and helping me work out bugs and kyphur who got me started on making no junk roms.
ATT connection settings are built in with proxy removed so no need to install HTC Connection Setup on 3.14 if you are a ATT customer.
3.08 still retired, 3.02 back from the grave. Don't forget to use the correct radio with these. The 1.58 and 1.64 radios work.
3.14.DK.02, (4/15/2008, minor updates to match 3.02.DK.05) USE 1.65 RADIO!
- removed wireless manager completely and added default blue comm manager in it's place (Fn+right arrow = wifi shortcut)
- removed additional stale registry entries from \SYS\Phone_Lang_0409
- removed camera.lnk, shuttersound.wav and timersound.wav (these should be a part of camera.cab, updated my camera cab files)
3.14.DK.01 first release, USE 1.65 RADIO!
- starts off where 3.02.DKv0.4r2 left off
- put symbolpad back in (on the Tilt symbolpad is Fn+OK)
- HTC Application (new in 3.14, didn't remove it cuz not sure what it does)

3.02.DK.05 changes (4/14/2008, had to release another one cuz 3.14 has little quirks)
- added symbolpad (Fn+OK = symbolpad shortcut)
- removed wireless manager completely and added default blue comm manager in it's place (Fn+right arrow = wifi shortcut)
- removed additional stale registry entries from \SYS\Phone_Lang_0409
- removed camera.lnk, shuttersound.wav and timersound.wav (these should be a part of camera.cab, updated my camera cab files)
- rom is geared towards AT&T like my 3.14
3.02.DKv0.4r2 changes (pretty much exactly the same as 0.4)
- used bepe's all_packages_to_one tool to consolidate all rgu's and dsm's
- 116 fewer files in \Windows directory, 1MB extra storage space than 0.4
0.4 changes
- removed Samsung Clock today plugin
- removed SALib.dll, part of SAPSettings that was previosly removed
- removed stale registry entry for Ring-WindowsMobile .wma
- removed WM Task Manager, totally worthless IMHO
- replaced CIF.dll with version 3.21.0.0, supposed to fix camera quality
3.02.DKv0.0 added for compatibility reason (TCPMP and IM+ work with this version)
- just as lite as 3.08.DKv0.3 UC!
3.08.DKv0.3 UC changes - my lightest, should be my final unless someone finds any major problems
- removed catalog
- removed sqm
- removed customer feedback and one time nag
- removed unused registry entries for sqm and internet calling
3.08.DKv0.2 UC changes - Now even lighter...er!!

Most of the cabs were built using files and registry settings I removed from my base rom so they work 100%. The other cabs are from dutty, nadavi, chainfire and _alex_, but they are slightly modded. I either added some missing files or deleted unecessary files from them. Install cabs to Device.
MSSolitaire.cab installs solitaire and creates a game folder with the game folder icon. Made separate cab for bubble breaker because I don't like it.
All my roms are UC compliant thanks to Sleuth. More info regarding User Customization can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366337.
Keyboard is Tilt layout. A cab to change to Kaiser layout is also attached.
this is mine
Feel like putting UC in your next version? UC users will get up and running faster if you can. Here's the link to the development thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366333
yeah, i just realized i didn't put it in. i got caught up testing for bugs and forgot. i'll probably make a UC version of it tomorrow. done for the night.
v0.0 is working great for me. Thanks for removing the camera. How about removing Office. I think that's about all that's left in this rom.

it's 0.1 UC that has the camera removed. are u using 0.0? 0.2 will have office removed. the reason it's still there is because I use it often and I haven't made a cab for it yet. i'll probably do it some time today.
Yes, still using 0.0. I saw that camera was removed in 0.1, and that prompted the office question. There are office cabs floating around, even split up by app. The only one I load is word.
0.2 is up. office removed. it does look possible to install just word if someone wanted to play with it. PowerPoint Mobile seems to take up the most space (3MB for the exe alone).
No camera???
Hi, I'm willing to try this ROM and perform a SPB and VS Benchmark.
But do I read this correct: no camera??? Why not?
yes, no camera.
First reason I removed it is because I'm trying to get this rom very lite. Another is because some users like the new 5.0 camera and others, like myself, prefer the 4.0 camera. In order to satisfy more users I removed the camera, but created a cab for the 4.0 and modded nadavi's 5.0 to work with my rom and assign itself to button 5. you can get all my cabs through the link in my first post.
Later if a newer version comes out you can just uninstall the old and install the new without reflashing. Now I know you can just install a new camera over the old, but doesn't it feel cleaner when you can remove the old one first?
double post. sorry.

Yep, this is why I like Lite Roms. Thanks. I'll load 0.2 tonight.
this is vodaphone base right? does it the screen lag/keyboard issue? or was it fixed with the hong kong dlls?
jakeypoo,
touch.dll is from 3.03 wwe which is the same as 3.08 voda, don't know the version number.
ddi.dll version in my rom is 3.3.0.0 from 3.03 wwe, voda version is 3.8.0.0
my OS base is 3.08 voda, but my OEM base is 3.03 wwe. I decided to use 3.03 for the OEM because there are a few rgu's and provxml's in 3.08 that are voda specific.
haven't looked at the hk rom so I don't know. how much of a lag is there usually? I haven't noticed any problems with lag. I'll try swapping out the files to see if I notice anything. Thanks for the info.
Edit: I just checked the ddi.dll on 3.02, 3.03 and 3.08. The file sizes are exactly the same, it's just the version numbers that differ. The version numbers seems to be the same as the rom version (i.e. 3.02 rom has 3.2.0.0 ddi and 1.60 rom has 1.6.0.0 ddi). Sorry to state again if this is already common knowledge.
well i notice lag on sleuth's (not as bad) and udk's rom with text entry.. if you enter text to fast the screen takes time to catch up.. its like for every 6-7 characters you enter 1 or 2 shows up ..so if you type fast lets say you type the following sentence.. "i really love xda-developers" now as you type that at normal speed you can get to the end of developers and the "xda" part will just be appearing on the screen. do you know what i mean? im very interested in trying this rom so thats why id like to know if you notice any sort of lag what so ever. i do alot of emailing from my phone so this is important :O
thx!
I couldn't type fast enough to notice any lag. I did type random letters as fast as I could and the letters appear as I type. No trailing letters after I finish typing.
As far as screen lag, I don't notice anything like I noticed when I used the original AT&T roms. It is very responsive. I do still notice a slight lag when I touch the screen while playing video using CorePlayer Qtv version, but it's much better than before.
ok, well im going to give 0.2 a whirl.. its stacking up against sleuth's so lets see! :O
great. let me know how it stacks up.
noticed;
- = bad
+ = good. lol
- customer feedback still present
+ speed is insane.
+ touch screen is VERY responsive i mean like WOW
..will continue
traces of Internet Calling still are in the rom incase you didnt know.. this isnt a problem but running today plugin uninstaller it finds voipphone.dll active/installed..
still installing my files to see performance
yeah, I've been trying to get rid of Customer Feedback for a while now. So far all I did was hide the icon since it only nags you once. I saw on the Wizard forum that I can remove ceipui.exe and modify mxip_notify.vol in the shell folder, but everytime I do my rom:
- skips the initial setup
- poutlook gets an error that is is not certified
- dialpad doesn't open
I'll take a look at the voipphone.dll. Glad it worked well for you and thanks for the feedback.
Edit: it looks like the dll that the registry is calling for is voipphonecanvas.dll. The actual file is gone. It actually doesn't even seem to exist in any of the roms I've been cooking from (1.56, 1.60, 1.61, 3.02, 3.03, 3.08). I found the stale reg entry so I'll remove it in my next release. For now all you have to do is delete "Internet Calling" from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items

Any reason this wouldn't work with my Tmo MyTouch? What's the full Exchange support like? Does this feature the HTC dialer too?
(Whoa. Just figured out that swiping up in a typing area with the HTC keyboard switches to caps. Cool.)
UPDATES: this ROM is working for me on T-Mo, HTC dialer, HTC "Exchange-support" mail client, which is awesome. Full mail / contacts / calendar support, as mentioned. However, I'm unable to get the wireless to connect to my home wifi (WPA), which was working with Cyan 4.0.4 just prior to this. Also, doesn't look like it is allowing my T-Mo data plan, or something
Thoughts?
Optimize.
I might give this port a shot. However, you should try to further optimize the features. I realize that it's still in progress...but suggestions will come flying in once you build a following.
Snag some more of Cyanogen's coding/sources and you'll be golden!
CREDIT him for the work he has put in though. I mean, after all you've already incorporated some of it...so why stop there?
allla,
Once I get done w/ work, I'll post the files you need to give full language support to the rom. It'll save you from all the edit'ing. It's only a few. I'll also give you the lastest apn list that I have included in my Rogers build for the G1. It has some more that Cyanogen's rom is missing. Nice work. I'm thinking about getting a MyTouch myself. lol. Take care.

Will allow allow for full T-Mo + data support? If so, oh man... it'd be sweet
Ok, so I went ahead & zip'ed them up for you & made sure they stated HTC Magic instead of a T-Mobile G1. If you look @ the xml files, you'll understand what I meant about saving you some time editing them. You might need a wipe after re-flashing your new build. Hope that saves you some time. You'll see everything is layed out as it should be in the rom. The only other suggestion I have that might help you out is, if you're using Cyanogen's kernel & you want compcache, & all the other great stuff he adds to his kernel, you might want to add his modules directory from the same kernel build. Then edit your boot.img's init.rc accordingly. That's all completely up to you. If you extract his boot.img you'll understand what I mean. Again nice job. Take care.

Hi yipcanjo,
First thing, if you came directly over from a Cyanogen build w/ out wiping first, I'd recommend that. The build design of the HTC/Rogers builds are quite a bit different, use different versions of the apps/frameworks. Now, if you're comfortable w/ adb, you could easily push these files into allla's current build. Make sure to do an adb remount, & then push the files into place. Reboot & you should be able to be on the T-Mobile network. The apns file that comes w/ the Roger's Dream/Magic is very very minimal to say the least. lol. That's why I figured I'd throw that in as well. Hope that gets you up & going. Take care.
I see the HTC diskette is a go, but does this include the Facebook sync?

The HTC Magic/Rogers builds don't include that. That's part of the hero builds. I'm sure it'd take some work to get it working on this build. It'd be easier to just rip Rosie out a Hero build & run it like the Magic/Dream builds. I don't claim to be an expert, but that seems like the easiest thing to do. Allla, sorry I didn't mean to try to hijack your thread. Take care.
Yeah. That's what I'm doing now. Got hopeful with the HTC dialer. lol

Thanks a lot for your aid. I'll include them in the next release.
The issue with wlan/dhcp is the following: I'm not able to get a IP-adress. If I set a static IP, wifi works. So there is a problem with the dhcp. I'm trying to get
some logs.

If I could make one more suggestion. I don't want to try to take anything away from your work. If I were you, I'd use the Rogers HTC Magic or may be hotweiss's HOFO build as my starting point & then mod that. I think you'll find it a little easier. His builds are based on the official update for the Magic. There's some differences in the apk's/frameworks between the Magic/Dream releases. You'd really only have to include the kernel, wlan driver & make what other changes you'd like to do. When I was using the HTC Magic updates for my mod, I noticed some problems & once I went back to the "Dream" update, everything was fine again. I'd still use the files I provided you if you choose to use the stock rogers update though. I'll check back & see how things are working out for you. Again, nice work. Take care.
I've just installed it (for multitouch ), version 1.2
OK:
- Gmail Sync OK
- Active Sync (Contact, Calendar) OK (I Don't use mail sync
- Browser MultiTouch OK (greattttttt )
- WiFi OK since 1.1
NOK:
- adb shell: c /system/app, then "ls' is not working ??? (pwd OK)
thanks

1. Not all of Cyanogen's features are meant for a Magic (some actually slow it down). His ROM is designed for a Dream with less space and keyboard.
2. If you incorporate all of his features you'll end up with his ROM, so why waste your time duplicating his ROM?
3. People should be given the chance to create their own custom ROMs, this will create diversity so people can choose.
We've found a solution for the wifi problem. I'll upload the update tomorrow evening.
Tried a couple of installs of this - each time it just hangs on the Vodafone screen and won't go any further.
Anyone else seen this issue with any ideas, would be appreciated!

This is not a HERO rom though? This mean you've isolated the bits required for Full Exchange Support? Possible to add these to a non-hero ROM like JACxROM 1.4r3?
To answer my own question: This is an HTC ROM so it includes the required framework and other bits. Google ROMS do not, and I've been told would take too much work to port. HERO ROMs are ALSO HTC ROMS and so they too include this feature.

______________________________________________________________________________
Here's an Eclair rom I built specially for the 32B Magic / myTouch3G. It is built from the Android 2.1 source that was released a few weeks ago, and has a kernel built from Cyanogen's kernel sources for Eclair (sources here).
This rom does not support A2SD. I've always found it frustrating that almost all 32B roms require the ext3 and swap partition on your SD card. The Magic does not need A2SD in my opinion ... and getting rid of A2SD and swap on sd cards eliminates the slowest link in the chain. With a bit more optimisation this could be a very fast rom.
Visually this is almost completely stock, if you like nice themes and graphics for your roms I would suggest MetaMorph, and browsing the Android theme section.
This is a completely new rom to XDA, not anyone elses work rehashed. The 1.5 rom does contain Firerat's kernel though
Big thanks to dferreria for pushing my build process along in recent weeks!
Complete with:
- Root privilage/superuser
- Google Apps
- Big APN list
- Busybox
- Android Market working
- Camera and bluetooth now working
- Live wallpapers
- Support for wired/wireless tether (wired tether apk included)
- Automatic swap (if a swap partition is detected)
- Auto CPU scaling (overclock to 528Mhz)
- Home app locked in memory
- Beautiful music widgets (from cacheinjection)
- Working YouTube and 3D graphics (currently in 1.5 only)
This is a fast Eclair rom, everything works (apart from the snag list below).
Snag list - what doesn't work
- On first boot, make sure you select "com.android.provision.DefaultActivity". I'm working on a fix for this.
- Camcorder not working (doesn't work on any Eclair roms)
- Force close in contacts app (reported 02/02)
- Some market apps not appearing. Use Market Enabler which is included in the rom.
Requirements
- Engineering SPL
- WIPE before installing this rom
- A swap partition on your sd card is recommended. I'm working on automatic swap if you don't have a swap partition set up. I recommend 96Mb
Disclaimer
I don't really think this needs saying, but I am not responsible if you brick your device. Make sure you know what you are doing! Read >> Sapphire hacking wiki <<
By the way this is not compatible for G1/Dream ... but G1 users would probably not want it anyway without A2SD
You now have 2 choices ... READ this before you choose
If you want a fast and stable Eclair rom, then 1.4.2 is for you:
Download (stable): > st0kes-v1.4.2 <
My 1.5 roms are unstable. The have 3D acceleration but also a few strange bugs, and I really would not recommend it.
You have now been warned, please don't ***** about it being unstable in the thread, I already know.
Download (experimental): > st0kes-v1.5.1 < <-- Updated 14/04/2010
Thanks: bcrook for getting my build off the ground, cyanogen for cm-kernel sources, radix999, dwang for inspiration, ncommander for camera driver, ozjd for AOSP source guidance, Firerat for kernel in 1.5, dferreira for help and advice
And of course everyone on XDA who made 3D graphics possible in Eclair.
A few kind people have surprised me by offering donations, if you would like to donate I will graciously accept, here is my paypal link. The money will probably go on coffee to keep me going at night.

Nice work fella, couple of questions, you say its 2.1 so does it have the new n1 launcher, new gallery, live wallpapers etc?
None of those things yet mate, I'm still in early stages and taking baby steps.
I saw hero_over had ported the n1 launcher to the Magic, it didn't look usable though.
I will have a look at live wallpapers though, but I'm not sure if the Magic hardware is capable or if they will just slow things down too much.
sounds good.
does this have full exchange sync? (mail, contacts and calendar)
does it matter what engineering SPL is installed?
Works like a charm! Very fast!
However some hardware does not work
- Orientation does not change
- Camera does not work ( looks funny that checkerboard ;-) )
Really want live backgrounds and the new nexus stuff!!!
Keep up the good work. (just ditched cyanogen ;-) )

Exchange sync for mail and contacts only, Android does not natively support Exchange calendar sync yet.
Not sure about your spl question. I'm using Haykuro's spl.

I think I know what your problem is. Fixed in next release.
Looks like I should have installed this in my rom with the Maps.apk from the milestone dump.
Music app not working
First of all good job! This is the first eclair ROM running decently enough to be worth keeping.
The only problem I'm having is with the Music app, getting FC every time I try to open it. See attached logcat and let me know if you also need traces.txt
Thanks,
George
PS. Running this on a MT3G
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP30000)
Radio-2.22.19.26I
Maps and Music bugs are fixed, download link in the original post.
Probably won't get much time to work on this for a few days now. Bluetooth & camera are the next things to get working.
Ill wait to try when the camera is working, hopefully by then they graphics drivers etc will be released too. Its great to have a 2.1 rom only for 32B, having a rom taylored to our device rather than the G1 should hopefully result in a better rom.
BTW, have you seen openandroid on the G1 forum? how about collaborating with other sapphire 32b devs to get produce a sick rom?
Great Rom!!!
Can i just say great start to a rom, i was shocked how quick it was, and we re-download the newest rom will this have multi touch implemented?
Thanks for the feedback. Multitouch is supported in this rom, you can download Dolphin Browser from the market if you want a multitouch browser with pinch to zoom.
I would be happy to collaborate to make a 32b rom. I'm frustrated that all 32b roms use apps2sd (in case you hadn't noticed that already) ... Personally I would like to see more 32b roms that are aimed at getting the most out of the HTC Magic hardware, rather than being Magic/G1 compatible.
Only thing is I am a bit of a newbie dev and I'm learning all of this as I go along. Not sure if I could offer that much in a collaboration, although it would be helpful for me to learn from others.
As a new user of the Vodafone UK HTC Magic i'd also love to get my unit upgraded to 2.1 with multitouch support. It's a cracking piece of kit and having been an iPhone 2G user i decided on the Magic due to it's hardware capability for multitouch.
Feel i may have made a mistake in updating from the initial 1.5 software to a recent 1.6 update.
Is this likely to have crippled me from being able to upgrade and root my phone?
I've got the camera working using Ncommander's camera driver source code. Will update my rom in due course (hopefully this weekend).
essex_chris: might be best if you start a new thread for this in the Q and A section. But basically you should be ok, the perfected spl is still rootable by various methods

In reply to essex chris i just wanted to let you know i only recently like two weeks ago rooted my phone on a uk voda HTC Magic 1.6 and using the cyanogen method rooted my phone like a breeze and have been using various roms since
Okay i used this rom for one week now. And i must say: it is the fasted rom i've ever had on my HTC Magic! Very good work, will update to the newest version today.
However some things dont work properly:
- Cant get GPS fix in google maps, does the gps sensor work?
- Playing video works, but i have artifacts on my screen. There are black lines, and sometimes the screen is completely black. So i hear the video sound but cant see the video properly.
- OpenGL games run very slow, is the openGL stack somehow very slow?
I will check if these things are fixed in your new version.
B.t.w i am a developer myself and doing android development, however i would also like to get into rom building. So maybe i can help there? I dont have a lot of time because of my fulltime job.
Anyway, keep up the good work! Thanks a lot!
Hey st0kes hows the cooking going? just added qteks modded lwp and it works great. How about adding it to your next rom? Heres the download link.
http://www.4shared.com/file/212147648/6c17e579/LiveWallpapers.html
I just put it in, and i gotta say; not that big difference with Android 2.1
And not that fast either, actually i think cyanogenmod is faster... :/
But I will keep testing it for a few days and see what it can do. After all, it's nice to have the latest of the latest!
I've been promising some kind of usable Sense 2.1 ROM for old radio 32A for a while, so here's at least sort of "alpha" release for those of you that are wondering about the new Sense UI but didn't "move on" to the new radio just yet, like me. It's not perfect, but I find it quite usable.
Thanks to nprussell and sanpei (and ahmgsk) for creating the base we could build upon.
The ROM to me doesn't feel yet like something that should deserve a 1.0 version number, hence the "alpha" status for now. It's got a few quirks here and there and some things don't work, but other than that I must say I quite like it. I've been running it as a day-to-day ROM for a while now. So don't be alarmed too much by the "alpha" status - if you don't mind the issues the ROM has, it's actually quite nice. Also, it's not the fastest of the bunch, but it's not that slow either. Also seems quite stable. Tested only on my phone so far, though (see my signature).
I'm not promising frequent updates (so please, don't expect them), but I'll try to work on it as time allows. I think the Legend RUU is the best 2.1 Sense UI available.
What's in the ROM and works without problems:
- The ROM should be multilanguage (tested English and Czech).
- 3D works great (see the second post for screenshot).
- Multitouch of course works as well, including the new "pinch home screen" in Sense UI.
- Google Maps replaced by the latest Google Maps modified by brut, thus multitouch works in them as well. And there's of course Google Navigation thanks to brut as well.
- Market Enabler added.
- Nexus One boot animation.
- Added some notification sounds and ringtones, all in Ogg instead of MP3.
- Default analog clock changed to Pulse clock (yeah, again )
- GPS, compass, accelerometer, all that jazz.
- Google and Social network sync, SIM contacts, Friends stream, animated weather on home screen...
What's known NOT to work:
- Bluetooth. At all. Yeah, here we go again. Sorry.
- USB mass storage. I've added the "USB mount" application to work around this issue.
- Autobacklight (obviously). It's enabled after install, though (the build.prop option to disable it by default doesn't seem to work for some reason).
- No app2sd, no swap, no nothing. For now. Swap and/or compcache might be added later (though it seems like the ROM does not really need it).
Quirks and known issues for v0.5:
- Not really an issue, but - the startup, especially the very first one, is quite long! It can take several minutes. It's even longer on v0.3. So have patience - if the boot animation is moving or the "unlocking SIM" spinner is spinning, it's still booting.
- Editing APNs may or may not produce FC and/or crashes.
- LED notifications. Orange LED doesn't work at all and the apps seem to be using only green LED for all notifications (even if the app uses different color on regular 32A - ie. Twidroid's blue notification light becomes green).
- Keys backlight doesn't work.
- Camera. If you take picture, the preview sometimes doesn't show up at all and when it does, it's in black & white. The thumbnails of the photos you took with this ROM in gallery are corrupted (several different issues). Even though there are these several issues, the actual photos are fine! You can view them on the phone fine, you can upload them fine (Here's one I took today and uploaded to Picasa and Facebook with this ROM)
- Camcorder. It seems it can be made to work if you set it to record video without sound. If you enable sound, it'll freeze as soon as you press the Record button.
- Because the Legend ROM is quite big, there's slightly less space for your apps. Nothing drastic compared to other ROMs, just saying.
- Sometimes, when the ROM starts up for the very first time, after completing the setup wizard you get the Sense home screen that is "incomplete", ie. doesn't contain the default flip clock and other widgets seem to be missing from the ROM as well (you can't even add them manually, they're missing from the list). If this happens, just go to Settings, Applications, Manage Applications. Find HTC Sense in the list, click on it and select "Clear data". When you return to your home screen, it reinitializes itself again and this time everything should be as it's supposed to be (and stay that way).
- You tell me...

v0.6 Hero "sidestep" edition - stand-alone full wipe ROM
MD5: 8ceec3d730448b7ee97f09a35be7fb60
Description:
- This is a stand-alone "side project" ROM not worth its own thread. It's NOT meant to be the successor of WLegend 0.5! There WILL eventually be WLegend 0.6!
- Based on Sprint Hero files. It's not based on one specific leak, it's a mashup of different leaks including the official OTA.
- The fastest Eclair ROM I've seen, including vanilla Eclair (yes, I think it's even faster than CM5-test6 and certainly less power hungry, even though it's Sense)
- This ROM is English only except for keyboard input! You can set a different locale with MoreLocale2 (included), but it'll only affect non-system apps. The system itself will always be in English.
- Modified to remove the CDMA Hero quirks - you can dial numbers in international format just fine and you can also hide SIM contacts (
- The very latest (today's) CM 2.6.33.4 kernel with BFS and OC to 576MHz (it's perfectly safe)
- Thanks to Cyanogen's effort, we now have photo preview in Camera fully fixed. Thumbnails are still corrupted, though. And Camcorder still works only when not recording audio.
- Latest (I think) Brut's Google Map mod and HTC_IME mod by jonasl.
- Suffers from the "uncomplete home screen on first start" issue - please see the known issues for WLegend 0.5 above for workaround.
- Other WLegend 0.5 known issues present if not specified here otherwise, so please read the WLegend known issues carefully. Thanks.

- BFS enabled (I still prefer it over the usual schedulers)
- Available either with regular kernel (turbo mode enabled by default) or with overclock enabled kernel (max. 576MHz) - thanks to ToAsTcfh, pershoot, coolbho3000 and all the others involved in creating the OC patches. Use SetCPU to control the frequencies (autodetection works). Let me know which one do you prefer. You can switch between them by just reapplying the corresponding update, BTW.
- Compcache is now disabled by default again. In my opinion it doesn't really help on 32A and might actually be hurting. If you disagree or want to use a regular swap, just enable it by editing /system/memctl_config.
- HTC_IME mod by jonasl updated to v2.5.
- Wireless tether replaced with the working one.
- Live Rosie add-on for v0.4 might still be used on this version.
- Kernel modules loading fixed.
- Not really a change in the ROM, but it seems like you can get Camcorder working if you turn off recording of the sound. Will investigate more.

v0.4 aka the "I'm doing science and I'm still alive" edition - *full-wipe update* - MD5: 9ebf3d54c79a5cc1a1bb8ae29c5ca909
Changelog:
- Using some of the libs from the latest Hero CDMA leak
- Rearranged system folders so framework stays on system partition, hopefully improving speed and responsiveness a bit
- Added compcache/swap support based on SuperD - ROM now uses 24MB compcache by default, other options configurable by editing the /system/bin/memctl_config script file (settings are explained within the file)
- Added Shadow's renice script for Phone.apk, hopefully improving lag on incoming calls
- HTC_IME replaced by "super" HTC_IME by jonasl
- Added 3D Gallery (working rotation), Wireless tether and Wired tether (not tested, though, sorry)
- Misc. other minor changes
- Optional Sense UI with live wallpapers - see below in Add-ons section for more info

v0.3 aka "the uncommon name community edition" - *full-wipe update* - MD5: e8e5315b94098782a0d66979c41454c8
Changelog:
- Movikun is now working on the ROM with me (or should I say I'm now working with him? )
- Switch to WG kernel as we think it is now THE best kernel available for Magic/G1. Many thanks to all people involved with it and especially Wes himself, you're doing a fabulous job!
- With that in mind, renamed the ROM to WLegend. I'm sorry for the confusion, but I think it's for the best - sanpei's ROM is called Legend Sense now, but some people were already referring to it as Sense Legend, so we wouldn't want someone to think it's the same ROM
- Power off option fixed
- Black screen issue hopefully finally fixed (different setup wizard as well)
- Using re-optimized and re-packaged (and fixed) deodexed framework from Villain ROM, at least for now, so massive props to nprussell for creating it in the first place!
- Misc other optimizations, fixes and changes laying down the foundation for upcoming fixes
- More to come

v0.2.1 - *no-wipe update* - MD5: e60daac2d023bef916542efd004994eb
Changelog:
- Should fix the "dark picture" issue for video playback and camera.
- I've pulled the 0.2 update because I forgot to correct a small glitch that was causing the notification LED to light up constantly when it should be blinking. This glitch was only present in 0.2, it's not in 0.1. If you've already flashed the 0.2 update, just flash 0.2.1 over it. There are no other changes in 0.2.1.

Add-ons:
No-wipe update pack to enable Sense UI with live wallpapers (by enemeone) - MD5: a5146de3f87ecd81fff864475841e5a5
- Should work on 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5, but only tested on 0.4
- Just flash over your fully configured ROM, but you'll most likely need to reconfigure your home screen once it boots up
- VERY experimental and actually not recommended for everyday use, but YMMV
- Expect nasty things happening - sometimes it can freeze your phone when selecting different LWP or create other problems
- Recommended live wallpapers to use - Grass and Nexus One
- 3D apps don't really work when using this add-on

No-wipe update pack to revert to stock Sense UI - MD5: 269a409fdcdad6f4325cbc0cf4f01b04

This is great

ty
love to see something for old radio........hope that this rom will get updated......
downloading.....very slow......please update some more links (like 4shared).
nice job.
do you use the camera libs for new radio, or the libs of community mod for old radio?
Wooooooow very great work i love it soooooooooo much but i have over 90 apps in my sdcard i and i cant see them...........
great job, i hope you continue
So, the battery was just fine tonight (lost about 20% in 8 hours, which is normal for my phone and config), so either I fixed the battery drain issue with my previous tweaks or it really was just a random thing.

Checked before posting, checking now again and I'm already way past 22.8MB...so if you've got problems, they're either on your side or were just temporary.

If I remember correctly (I've done quite a few tests and don't keep notes), camera libs are from Kingclick's Hero Eclair, which I think was the only 2.1 Sense based ROM with (more or less) working camera on 32A for me.

Wooooooow are you serious?
No app2sd, no swap, no nothing. For now. Swap and/or compcache might be added later (though it seems like the ROM does not really need it).

I dont speak italian but I think he means he got a FC in the Settings App and a blackscreen after booting and entering PIN since I got this too.
Since Power Off isnt working one has to pull the battery.
Does any one have clue?

Nice and pretty much a complete Rom
only missing Faves
using autostarts and autokiller to make it run better
Thanks
Woah you got Meltus' permission to use the paid version in it, you must be quite the man. Anyways I love your rom, been using it for a week. I can survive the battery drainage but it should be better then it is now, since I need 2 apps just for my phone to survive 7 hours. I also have some problems with speed but it's not too bad with the OC kernel.
btw, think we should close the other one, as it ain't official and the person had no permission to post without these guys' authority. Just putting that out there.
will .7 fix the battery drain and call lag? memory leak fixes? i loved this rom but i couldnt handle it after 2 days lol.
btw can you please link to the android spin forums in the OP since they seem to get the updates first?
sorry for all the questions, much appreciated! =D

Its okay
We are always listening to requests... I am just the tester but I do my best to make this rom run smoothly.
The reason for the lag is the dump we used... we have a new dump so maybe that memory leak is gone... if not then we will find it and get rid of it
Once again its CR thats doing the deving... i just find the issues and its up to all of you to report what you find just incase I missed it
MT3G tester here if you need me.
i flash the overclock kernel correct?
V0.7 looks to be good. When do you think your going to release it?
thansk
Expect
i expect
iexpect 0.7 rom
i liked 0.6.2 and i dont think .7 will fall short, but do you think we will ever see Blue Tooth working on it? It seems sense roms dont ever have it.
Official mytouch rom is announced for "old mytouch". If we are lucky, it's 32b... and maybe even for the 2.x radio... but I won't beleave it before I have it installed on my phone.

me2. trying to put more use to a new jawbone icon. ^_^
See this is the way Xda shoudl be....nice organized and full of info....good job Azuske
What's the word on the update?
Glad people are still working on this. I kanged Zenulator's CDMA port's apps and framework and have Rosie and Music w/landscape support. I saw the patch for LWP in Sense too but not sure if that would work on different kernels but I'll try..
The official update I believe is for Magic 32A but the hardware should be close enough to get BT. Either way, it's a closer port.
The reason its taking so long for a new release is because
1. The dev had Linux issues
2. We are using a better dump from the original device
3. We had issues with the speed in the last dump so we have been waiting for a kernel or a new dump to help fix this without the need to overclock your device too much
Don't worry you will be happy once its released just keep sending in what u find in previous versions so we can make sure the issues are fixed and drop the beta tag
Bluetooth isn't really a priority in 2.1 sense roms, just saying. Do you want the ability to get rid of call lag or have a bluetooth device first?If you need bluetooth don't use sense or downgrade to 1.5. You could also get a new phone.
how about you get chiefz to remove that app and the reupload your rom if you want to post download links
@alan0421 Let me say this now. I NEVER gave anyone permission to use the paid version of my app in their ROMs. I will be speaking to Mods...
so unfortunatly - everything you said just made you look silly in the other thread
I was right
check meltus twitter for the proof
