hm im having some trouble:

cannot get firerats a2sd to work, when opening the script in terminal is says it cannot find fdisk

and

i cannot get 'adb remount' to work when using adb obviously

same here. thought different versions of busybox would have fdisk but was only able to install 1.17 and 1.18, or whatever, neither of which had fdisk.

Hello from France !

Has anyone sucessful to add French in locales. I have tried this method, but it fails or I have made an error (mostly). It boots loop and Add Pack langages don't work, it's boot loop too.
Can you explain me what it doesn't work ? Hasn't you another method or hasn't you alyready done its ?

Thanks and excuse me for my very bad english.

Thanks.

p.s : i have a htc dream (32B).

i will try french locale later.
give me some time.

edit

Based on what I've read from this thread and others, this ROM does not have ROOT access, this is why these commands wont work, at all. So basically you can have nasty godly speed, with decent space for apps or have slow, no space, root access with another ROM. I don't know about you, but I'm riding this until the wheels fall off...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superuser#Unix_and_Unix-like

somehow I see no indication that "root" has anything to do with this adb remount command you speak of

Now the issue you have is adb not configured to allow you to remount/directly access as root; you can still use 'su' to access root at the prompt.. you can after running su run 'mount -o remount,rw /system /system' and system will be read write (if you previously pushed a file to /data/local/tmp you can now use 'cat /data/local/tmp/somefile > /system/.../somefile'

But if this confuses you boot back into recovery and modify system from there (its safer anyway)

PS if you really want adb remount don't look too hard you just need to set ro.security to 0 in default.prop on the ram disk. Google will find you the howto.

How do you remove Amazon MP3 and faves? Do you just remove their apk's, or is there more to it?

thanks, mount -o remount,rw /system /system did the trick.
wanted to remove apps i dont use , like Faves, Email etc.

Latest radio 2.22.27.08 and +15mb RAM for HTC Magic

Note: sorry for the URLs, I'm not allowed to post links on my first post. I'll fix it as soon as I'm allowed.

I hope you find this interesting (you can copy instructions to your original post if you find them useful):

Latest radio 2.22.27.08 from official T-Mobile udpate frees 15Mb of RAM, something very interesting on HTC Magic 32B, with only 96MB of RAM, is quite nice. However, if you flash radio 2.22.27.08 on this modified ROM, Cyanogenmod or others, the system won't boot. The problem is latest radio only works with latest official kernel from T-Mobile. And moreover, the official T-Mobile kernel will only work with SPL 1.33.0013 (the original one included in latest update).

I tried the following with your T-Mobile update, but it should work with Cyanogen or others as well.

So, how to make it work:

From recovery, flash Radio 2.22.27.08 (apply .zip from SD card, choose this file. Procedure may vary depending on your recovery image... if you don't understand this, you shouldn't be doing it!):

h t t p : / / w w w . 4shared . com/file/o-PkX9Ew/myTouch-radio-2_22_27_08.html?start=

The phone will reboot two or three times until the update is completes, and then fall into a reboot loop. Don't worry, this is expected. If something goes wrong you can go back to Radio 2.22.23.02 flashing this file:

h t t p : / / w w w . mediafire . com/?qwmzgko2gg2

Now, go back to recovery, and flash the SPL update (update.SPL_Original_1.33.0013-signed.zip) to 1.33.0013. Download from here:

h t t p : / / w w w . multiupload . com/NKJ45TLL8L

The only drawback is this SPL is a "Perfected" one. It won't allow you to flash a new recovery imagen from Fastboot. But you shouldn't worry, do you? You already have a custom recovery, and there are other ways for flashing a new one. So go ahead, apply the update. The system will reboot twice again, and reboot-loop again. The current kernel can't boot with this radio version.

So, now extract the official kernel from the official update (original thread h t t p : / / forum.xda-developers . com/showthread.php?t=807899):

h t t p : / / android.clients.google . com/packages/ota/tmobile_opal/e059adc603a3.signed-opal-ota-60505.e059adc6.zip

from that file, extract boot.img (the kernel) and /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko (the wifi kernel module, will need it later). Now, flash boot.img using fastboot:

* Boot into fastboot (power on while pressing back button + power) with USB connected
* Use the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Now the system should work, but wifi is not working. You need to replace the file in /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko with the extracted file. Connected by USB, use "adb push" to copy wlan.ko to /sdcard, then use adb shell and run the following command to remount /system read-write:

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

and the following to replace the wlan.ko file:

cp /sdcard/wlan.ko /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko

make a backup of the file before overwritting, you might never know.

Reboot, and everything should be working fine.

This procedure works well until someone builds a kernel capable of working with radio 2.22.27.08 + SPL 1.33.0013. Also, I'm looking forward for a engineering SPL (1.33.2013) that works with radio 2.22.27.08. There's a modified SPL around there, but it won't work (it's really a 1.33.2005 patched to look like 1.33.2013).

I used Titanium Backup to remove the apps.

Elegy · Nov 2, 2010

i removed the 3dgalllery but now i cannot install the 2dgallery anymore. APK's wont install via Linda File Manager and ADB.

I welcome you again to the HTC Dream section.. the section you are looking for however is the Sapphire section. The safest way to do what you are looking for is to install the Actual MT3G OTA and root it:

See this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=807899

Anyone who bricks there MT3G phone in the process. I'm looking for a development phone to hack on

de-odexing again

i found a mistake in my post about de-odexing (#761), so post this again to inform it.

1. nandroid backup current rom.
1-1. full wipe.
2. flash test2 rom.
3. flash market fix.
4. nandroid backup.
5. nandroid restore rom, backuped in step 1.
6. reboot.
7. connect phone to your pc via usb, then mount sd card.
8. copy nandroid backup images (boot.img and system.img) to Kitchen's "orginal_update" folder.
9. launch Kitchen and execute "1. Set up working folder from ROM".
10. execute "2. Add root permissions".
11. execute "3. Add BusyBox".
12. execute "11 - Deodex files in your ROM", both framework and app folder.
13. execute "6. Zipalign all *.apk files to optimize RAM usage".
14. execute "99. Build ROM from working folder".

i am sorry if there are people who tried this without wiping and got boot loops.

p.s.
OP, this rom is the best that i have flashed. so, it is necessary for me to de-odexing. i need japanese locale and some theming.

@ssakuma: do you have an idea why the normal 2dGallery wont install? it wont install via file manager on the phone, or push/install via ADB.
my guess its that ADB doesnt recognize the phone as being rooted, but then how am i ever going to get back my gallery? (2d one preferred)

Boot recovery and push the apk in /system/app .. I don't think it will work but it either will or show a signature missmatch error in logcat .. if it needs to be the common signature you will need to resign all of the htc1 signed apks and gallery with the sane known key.

Of dedox and rebuild the rom as described for the Japanese locale

OP is right, i think.

ssakuma, could you make ROM with polish locale?

I'm trying to do that for couple of hours and nothing is coming from that.
Basically steps are like that:
1) de-odex ROM
2) decompile framework-res.apk
3) copy 9 folders ending with two characters mathing to your countries symbol (for example -jp or -pl

) from CM6 framework-res.apk to AOSP ROM framework-res.apk
4) compile framework-res.apk again
5) replace original framework-res.apk with modified framework-res.apk AND replace libicudata.so with CM6's corresponding file
6) build ROM again

Everything is working until I try to replace framework (clean deodexed ROM works, deodexed with replaced only libicudata.so also). I don't know what am I doing wrong, I just recieve bootloop

.
Maybe I'll try to replace files from SuperF, but I don't think I'll succed.

I'm using HTC Android Kitchen 0.104 and ApkManager 4.9 to do all this work (my OS on PC is Windows 7). Please, maybe more detailed instructions or sth like that, I'd love to make progress on this, this ROM is almost perfect, but I hate seeing it in english. I don't have to mention that many of my Android friends are waiting for progress too

problems with BART??

I am having an issue where I can't perform a BART backup in recovery. The script doesn't think I have enough space. I have about 4gb free on my SD card.

I have been running this rom for about 5 days and just noticed this problem. A nandroid b/u works fine. I have tried running the script through the utility command in RA Recovery as well as typing "bart -s" in terminal.

Is this related to this ROM?

edit: I am dumb, there is no ext. Brain no worky!! Sorry

mycnam · Nov 2, 2010

I tried but this does not work for me. It freezes at the first boot screen (no adb). I had to pull battery to reset and go back to recovery.

Isn't it like ezterry said the Magic kernel has memory mapping issues on Dream?

Isn't it like ezterry said the Magic kernel has memory mapping issues on Dream?

The new kernel isn't built for the dream.. the phones are different, but similar enough that if built with the support a single kernel can automatically detect if the kernel is running on board trout or board sapphire and set up the system accordingly.
