[ROM] [32a] [Updated November 4th] The Officicial HoFo Community ROM 3.0.7 [Sense UI]

[hotweiss]

I've created a new ROM for the HoFo/Rogers community in the hope that others will help improve it. All of the other ROM's that I have tried had missing features or they were a bit buggy and power hungry just because they weren't made for the specific Rogers Magic. This ROM is based on the orginal Rogers ROM, so everything works and it is stable. Enjoy!

N.B. - If you get an error during an update please upgrade to the 2005 SPL: http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/

Thanks to lifeflayer we have a great server for hosting the ROM's.

You have to wipe if you are coming in from a different ROM, not if you are updating the HoFo ROM.

To use the adb console in version 2.0 +, please update to the latest SDK.

To improve your battery life, go into Settings --> Wireless controls --> Mobile networks --> uncheck 'Enable always-on mobile'

It is recommended that you use Amon_RA's recovery image to update this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492

If you are a non-English locale user, you will need to also run this keyboard update after the HoFo update:

HoFo Kernel

File contains wlan.ko, boot.img-kernel and config.
This kernel is a modification of cyanogen's kernel with TigerTael's V3 patch applied to it.

N.B. - To get the config's working with Donut, you have to enable video4linux.

do i have to root? what are the steps to get this? what does it look like

do i have to root? what are the steps to get this? what does it look like

This ROM is vanilla dry. It's basically for people who want stability and full functionality. And yes, this ROM is rooted.

 

[VarioIII]

im lost, do i have to spl and root? im getting my phone tomorrow and am coming from WM6.1, so im lost here. What the hell is vanilla dry, and what are the extra features here?

I don't think you need the new SPL to flash this ROM; I have the new one. Vanilla dry basically means that I didn't mod the core of the system at all (minus the normoclocking), I just added features.

PS-normoclocking, because 528 is the native CPU speed

 

[ultraMX]

How did you set the Speed to 528 mhz?

 

[hotweiss]

How did you set the Speed to 528 mhz?

I've added this to the boot.img/init.rc file:

write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 528000

 

[jfive74]

Following you in hofo and xda. great work, i mean really. keep it up.

 

[ultraMX]

@hotweiss: wow! thank you so much!

 

[electro-mike]

I'm Curious. What is the max frequency set to on the rogers magic when you first get it?

 

[hotweiss]

I'm Curious. What is the max frequency set to on the rogers magic when you first get it?

384 MHz is the default speed, which is underclocked.

528 MHz is the native speed of the CPU.

 

[jfive74]

Not sure if its due to the changing of the keyboard, but I noticed that the calibration tool doesn't work . Always crashes. Good ROM, thanks.

 

[funfobia]

Hi hotweiss, great job but version 1.01 is corrupt on libsgl.so, i can't flash it.
Would you mind repack and upload.

 

[tribalmunky]

384 MHz is the default speed, which is underclocked.

528 MHz is the native speed of the CPU.

What's the effect on battery life?

 

[hotweiss]

What's the effect on battery life?

It shouldn't be much, as the CPU scales all the way from 82 MHz all the way upto the new set maximum of 528 MHz. So it will only shoot up to 528 MHz when needed.

 

[hotweiss]

Not sure if its due to the changing of the keyboard, but I noticed that the calibration tool doesn't work . Always crashes. Good ROM, thanks.

Version 1.0.2

- fixed calibration forced close error
- libgl.so error gone (previous upload must have been bad)
- removed Teeter

hey hotweiss, i really want to use your ROM so I can get rid of all the rogers icons on my magic

but im having a hard time combining bits and pieces of each one's instructions together.

so I've downloaded your update.zip

do i just follow these instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4036421&postcount=52
and boot into recovery mode?

how would I do step 8 here, if I dont have the "fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.0H.img" from you?
or can I just use the one from skittleguy as well?

so when i'm done, do I just click "reboot system now"??

or, would I have to follow skittleguy's other post on hofo, and do these steps again, after i've applied the update?:
5. power off phone, hold back button and power to boot into fastboot again
6. fastboot flash boot boot.img
7. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8. fastboot reboot


TIA, hope I can have some success with your rom!

do i just follow these instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4036421&postcount=52
and boot into recovery mode by holding the Power and Back keys until the three skating droids appear??

i'm very confused with all these little/differnet steps from each person

TIA, hope I can have some success with your rom!

I would use this recovery image here:

http://rapidshare.com/files/252267998/recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img

It's the latest version.

As far as insalling the ROM, just follow these steps:

1) boot into fastboot mode (back and end)

2) fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img

3) run the update process

That's it.

Thanks a lot hotweiss!
it works perfectly now, im glad i got rid of the rogers icons
