[ROM][32A][6.35] CGX-Magic 1.0.5 (Android 2.3.7) 14 November 2011

This is somehow the continuation of giant_rider's GBRider_Cronos. It's a port of the HTC Hero ROM Cronos Ginger X from Cronos Project Team.

Credits:
- Feeyo and Cronos Team for the ROM development. You can find his work and donate if you feel like it in this forum. I think you should. ;
- carz12 for Kernel 2.6.34.4;
- giant_rider for the work he has done so far and for the ROM that i used as a base in order to see what i needed to change to make the ROM work;
- dsixda for his script used during all the porting process.


You'll need Radio 6.35.16.19 or 6.35.10.18 and SPL 1.76.2007 to properly run this ROM.


Latest Radio, SPL and Recoveries:
Radio - 6.35.16.19
SPL - 1.76.2007
Recovery - recovery-RA-magic+-v2.0.0.1-seo or recovery-RA-magic+-v2.2.1 or carz-clockworkmod-4.0.0.2-recovery

To change Radio/SPL/Recovery use the procedure described in this thread


How to Install the ROM:
- Fully charge your battery to properly calibrate it;
- Boot to recovery and do these steps:

• Do a Nandroid Backup
• Wipe all except battery stats
• Flash the ROM
• Reboot to system

- Reboot to recovery and Flash Gapps:

• Gapps Light (It has only market and some other essential apps. After you enter the system you can choose which apps you want to install)
  or
• Gapps Full (It has all Google Apps) (It's indicated to those that don't have a WiFi connecting and no Data Plan)

- Reboot to system

The Kernel is OverClocked to 710Mhz. The CPU is set to max 614Mhz by default and min 352Mhz. If you change the minimum frequency to a value below 352Mhz, the phone will have unlock delay or even DIS (Death In Sleap). You can change the CPU setting in "Settings » CPU Settings".

Bugs:
- Airplane mode drains all the battery (kernel related)
- Sometimes buttons backlight stops working (Hero ROM related)

Updates notes in the 2nd post.
I choose not to follow the version numeration that giant was using because i might release some updates between feeyo's releases. But despite this, i'll always indicate the update used as a base to each release.


Notes:
I'm not a programmer and i have very little knowledge in this area. All i know is based on tutorials, Google searches and from the work done in other ROM's. I'm very curious and this ROM is somehow a result of that. So if you find any bug that is not related to Hero's ROM just tell me and i will see what i can do about it.

I'm not responsible to any damage that you might do to your phone. To avoid some undesired results always backup. It doesn't take much time.

I know. I can't use that LWP in any ROM i used. CM7, GBRider, any of them. I'm thinking in removing it. :/

You need to go to Settings » Applications » App Management and uninstall the app there.

Unkjcr, you can fix problem with power widget?

As i said, i only ported the ROM. That bug is related to the original Hero ROM so the only one that can fix the bug is Feeyo and his team. Sorry about that.

stiker said:

hi,
One suggestion for both this topic and androidpt:
More information about the bugs that you rom still have,
Some Benchmark results just to have some clue about the speed of this Rom.

Good Work, and i hope you continue the support.

Thanks.

The only bugs that i'm aware of are buttons backlight that randomly work/doesn't work, power widget, airplane mode drain (kernel related). And there's nothing i can do about it. I will add a list if you guys really want it. About the benchmarks i will not add any because they are most of the times inaccurate and some ROM's have some tricks that can boost the result in the benchmark test but the actual performance of the ROM is the same as in other ROM's. The best test you can do is flash all the ROM's and see for your self.

I don't have any problem with this ROM. I usually had some random reboot with CM7, but with this one i didn't have any so far. And i've been using the phone like mad lately. Btw, i don't use Opera Mini. In what circumstances the phone crashes?
