For anyone is still using a Magic/Dream on CM: I've been very impressed with the 216 nightly. Seems to be a decent speed increase from stable, has the notification bar power widget, nice tweaks to the camera and has fixed the gallery rotation bug.

What recovery is installed? Turn the phone off and start it by pressing the Home and Power buttons. Anyway I see why it should matter what ROM is running as far as activating it on the network goes - so long as its not stolen they should do it. Don't expect them to mess around putting it back to stock for you though.

PapFinn posted:When I boot into recovery, the Build listed is RA-heroc-v1.6.2 You should be able to - just check there aren't any special radio or SPL requirements for whatever you want to flash. You can probably grab the stock image from somewhere if you really want, or a rooted version of it but I don't see a real reason when cyanogenmod works nicely. Have a look on the wiki on http://cyanogenmod.com when it comes back up (currently down for maintenance)

Casao posted:It's not. It's always been in CM, since like, the CM4 days. Unless it broke in the nightlies, it was there and working. I'm not even aware of a way to disable. Have you been skinning or something? I'm getting the 'H' for the first time since flashing the 220 D/S nightly (over CM6 stable). Now it could be my network rolled out HSPA+ on the same evening I flashed 220 but others on the Dream/Sapphire in other places have reported seeing the 'H' for the first time too. Mine actually only shows the H during data transfers, its 3G when the connection is idle.

Drevoak posted:Today I barely touched my phone. 8 Hours it has been off the charger. Battery is at 63%. Battery usage says Display is at 35%, Cell Standby is 27% and Phone Idle is 25%. Clicking on display will say that the screen has been on for 7.5 minutes. Meaning I have had the display on for 7.5 minutes in the past 8 hours. How on earth does 7.5 minutes of display time account for 35% of the battery drain? I have the brightness set for auto. How is your overall battery life? Sense and AOSP include different things under the display heading and its normal for display to be way at the top of the list. That said yours does sound extreme, but I think you should do a few cycles to see it settles down before worrying.

Drevoak posted:When I first started using CM6 my battery life was okay, I could have the battery last a good 18-20 hours. I haven't been texting a whole lot so I bet the battery would be a whole lot worse if I was. I've been using CM6 for like 3 months now, it is totally normal for me to have my display always at the top in any situation. Even if the display is on for 30 minutes for an entire day, it'll be at the top. Display would probably be at the top for me too if I left it on for 30 minutes over the course of a day. My usage looks like:  That is with the display on for only 12.5 minutes out of 14 hours (40% brightness, Magic so no light sensor) There is definitely something up with your phone if its heating up and giving you crappy battery life though, for me the later builds of CM6 have improved things immensely.

beepee posted:Finally rooted my HTC Magic 32B (which I still refuse to call a "MyTouch") from stock Android 1.6 to CyanogenMod6/2.2. The 32B is still way too hilariously underpowered for Android's processor/memory demands, even with any supposed Froyo performance improvements. New CoolIris-crippled Gallery app is especially a pain. Any way to get simpler gallery apps that can replace the default Android Gallery? For me the 2d Gallery is even slower than the standard CM6 3d one. There are lots of speed improvements between the CM6.0 and 6.1RC though, it'd be worth a flash to see if it helps. Also you pretty much need compcache enabled, don't think it is by default.

The phone tries to boot and when it starts to draw the picture of the android guy it freezes. I took the battery out and rewiped and reinstalled, twice. It keeps freezing at the android guy. Am I supposed to be using a specific recovery or something? That guide mentioned using a certain recovery but I'm using the recovery from a guide I posted last. So you used recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img right? It should work okay but I'd grab a copy from http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/2327-cyanogenmod-61-for-ds-they-said-it-couldnt-do-that-v610-rc1-10272010/ - make sure you get the correct one, I think you need Ebi1 (but check it out on the wiki first http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=How_to_determine_if_you_have_32A_or_32B)

SLOSifl posted:I assume general push functions will only turn on for 1 minute, meaning Trillian, Gtalk, mail, etc, correct? What about SMS? Those still come in real time, right? That's not data as far as I know, but I could be wrong. SMS still works without data but you'd have to experiment with GMail/Talk push - sometimes it seems to take a while before it starts working again after turning data on and I have a feeling a minute won't be enough. Perhaps you'd be better off just switching data to 2G only and living with the slowness. I'm surprised they don't provide wifi at the conference though, especially if the mobile service is bad.

I'm using CM6.1 with the same radio and 1.33.0004 SPL (which is what my phone came with) Works fine but be aware these are old phones now with limited RAM (especially the 32B which we have) so don't expect any performance miracles.

orange lime posted:I've found that HTC phones just tend to have poor DACs for music; hissy and poppy and they definitely reduce the sampling rate at some point in the chain. The ones in my MT3G are unbearably bad while those in my sister's Fascinate are awesome. Hopefully you do find a tweak, but I couldn't find anything when I looked a few months ago -- you're likely stuck with it. I got a massive increase in quality somewhere between CM5 and CM6 on my HTC Magic (original without the 3.5mm socket). Its still a bit hissy during quiet passages but the general poor sample rate sound is gone.

I tried flashing the other recovery, and then back to clockwork, with no luck. I do get the root prompt though and I can finally get rid of all the god drat bloat that came on this thing. Like the Milestone/Milestone 2 that probably isn't going to be simple. At this point I don't know if there is any way to flash an actual custom ROM, might be best to keep your eye on XDA (although there is little activity around these phones)

calandryll posted:My girlfriend's G1 is acting wonky, what is the best ROM to use for it now? I know I installed something other than cyanogen's 6.1 awhile ago but can't remember the name of the ROM. CM6.1 is the best available IMO - just make sure you flash the new radio as this frees up some memory and improves performance immensely (its a bit of a process but well worth it, check XDA). What exactly is being wonky about it?

I'd like to smugly add that I've just installed one of the unofficial CM7 based roms on my 32b Magic and everything aside from USB tether appears to be working perfectly. I'm quite frankly amazed at the continued community support for old HTC devices, especially ones that shipped with 1.5 when that was relatively new.

It runs as well as any other ROM ever has on this phone, actually probably a little better than it did on CM6 (which is to say its still slow as hell, but hey can't expect miracles right). I've had zero crashes so far though which is encouraging, just a few weird things with tones changing on their own.

The new radio should have made a world of difference. +10MB free memory is very significant when we're talking about a device with ~100MB available to the OS (with the old radio)

If you don't mind paying PdaNet works for that without root. Bluetooth tethering never works very well for me though, its simply too slow. You might want to investigate USB or Wifi (both of which you can get with root)

Once you've unlocked the bootloader it shouldn't matter whether or not your current ROM is rootable - just flash a recovery and use that to flash whatever ROM you want http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide If you want to do it WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader I guess it gets more complicated but I don't see any reason you shouldn't just go ahead and unlock it

What OS are you currently running? If you're still on 1.6 you can expect some pretty serious responsiveness boosts from 2.2, as well as the new features and improved app compatibility. I'd stick with CM6 though, there are unofficial CM7 ports but performance suffers a bit IMO. Also be aware that Froyo isn't going to work wonders on a device with such little memory, I've found a small swap file on the SD card really improves performance.

In that case I'd just leave it standard, exactly as I've done with my Nexus S Having come from a CM phone these are the main features I miss - Better configuration options for screen timeout/lock - on CM I had the screen turn off quickly to save battery but the screen lock delayed so it was easier to wake the phone up - Individually dismissable notifications (seriously surprised that stock lacks this) - The customisations of the stock messaging app, eg dark background, adjustable text size etc - Lock screen music controls
