Quite a few sites I use have images that don't load since I switched to thor's rom. I had this problem on stock before switching to taboonay now have it again on thor. Sites like football365 have a lotof images that don't load with either an android upside down saying webpage cannot be loaded or a little blue box with a ?
I've been through every browser on the market and it's always the same. Anyone any ideas on what's going wrong? I don't want to switch roms again (loving the speed of thor)
Seems no-one else has this problem then? Must be some kind of hex on me then.
Hi,
Only thing I've had a similar problem with is when I installed some ad blocking software which modified the host file. Once I uninstalled it and copied my original host file back, the problem was resolved.

I had the same problem too and did the same thing but this seems to be something else. I flashed my nandroid backup of taboonay 2.2 and no problems now so definitely a problem with thor rom. Pity I really liked that rom.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Strange, I'm using Thor's ROM and images load just fine for me.

That's what has me so confused. I haven't heard of this issue in any of the threads relating to thor's rom. I've flashed quite a few roms and none have had this problem except when I was using the ad block app. I'm sure it's nothing I have done as I did a full wipe (as always) before flashing and didn't touch the settings at all.
Anyway as I said I'm back on taboonay now until the next version of thor is released then I'll give it another shot. I'm not giving up just yet. I love thor's roms
On the Thor's rom the images and animations of advertising are locked so that the page will load faster, this is done from the hosts file redirecting to 127.0.0.1 advertising pages, you can edit the host file and delete the entries that redirect 127.0.0.1 for that advertising images are loaded, but that will make the pages take more time.

So I've caved in to temptation and rooted my Magic. Now I'm looking for a suitable ROM - I've been into the Sapphire wiki and looked at the ones listed in there but they don't really explain what is on the ROMs.
What I am looking for is a ROM that contains Exchange sync, multitouch and browser with Flash, and most importantly - stability!
Also a few more questions - can I use the Android market if I have a custom ROM? I ask because in the ROM discussions I've noticed a lot talking about adding and removing software using the adb tool. Are there any other pitfalls I should be aware of, seeing as this my first time applying a new ROM.
TIA
Firstly what version of the magic do you have, 32A or 32B.
It's best to check out the rom development section and read what each rom is about there.
And yes you can still use the android market, the icon is still in all the custom roms.
Mine is the 32B - UK Vodefone.
The problem is the threads for those ROMs are sometimes more than 100 pages long with little or no descriptions about what is contained on them ... unless I am missing something
Well the ROMs will always be updated on the very first page, there's usually some kind of description as well of what is and whats not included.
As with all these things it's best to try each one out for yourself and see what you do and don't like.
As long as you use nandroid to backup your phone then you can always go back to the rom you were using before you falashed a new one.
I've tried installing Fatal1ty's 32B ROM from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531617
(Fatal1ty-Hero-Full-v1-4-zip)
Rename it in update.zip
copy to sd
reboot (pressing home+power)
wipe
apply update
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It said the update.zip was bad ...? Thank god for the nandroid backup (cheers for the advice on that one), I was restored and working again straight away on my old config ... but what went wrong? From doing a bit more reading, is it because the ROM isn't signed? Or should I just download the file again and try again - perhaps it corrupted somewhere along the way?
Can you provide the exact error you got?

I've been caught out with something like this before - make sure the zip you are downloading is the actuall update zip! Open it and check it only has the 3 folders and boot.img in it.
The update.zip maybe in the zip you have downloaded
But on a side note - the Hero Roms aren't suitable (yet) for the 32B's as the RAM is too small - wait until they cut it down a bit.
I would recommened either Nk2 or CyanogenMod [v3.6.8] && Palm Pre theme [1.5] ported
The second being the fastest i've used (rapid infact)
Cheers - I tried downloading the rom again and this time used adb push to copy and rename it to the sd card, tried again and it worked.
I agree with what you're saying about the hero rom needing some work though. I can't use touchflo or the weather app as they are too slow. Browser is also quite a lot slower than on the stock Voda UK firmware.
I really like HTC Peep and the facebook integration into my contacts, and the HTC keyboard is a lot better.
On your advice I'll give the CyanogenMod rom a try. I would like to find one good one and stick to it rather than become addicted to flashing the latest roms every week!
Ok, I'm sorry if this has been asked already (or is too obvious to have been asked), but I'm having problems with my phone after rooting it and I'd like to get it fixed if possible.
Basically, I rooted my phone and flashed Cyanogen. Everything works perfectly by the accelerometer and compass, which are both completely kaput it seems.
I've tried the method in Cyanogen's FAQ (the one involving restore and deleting two files), but one of the two sets of files that he asks to delete doesn't exist.
I've already tried performing multiple wipes and reinstalls of different roms (Including Cyanogen, JF's, even the original T-mobile mytouch rom) to no avail. I even flashed back to JF's 1.5 since some people said their problems started with the 1.51 update.
Now I'm back on Cyanogen since it's my favorite so far and it seems that the problem follows me no matter what.
Now it seems that my only choice as determined by this thread is to port in some files from JF's 1.42 and delete the Cyanogen version. I have no idea if this will work since these guys are obviously on G1's and I'm using a mytouch, but I figure it shouldn't hurt too much as long as I can still get to the recovery console if something goes crazy.
This is the method given:
reboot recovery
mount /system
rm /system/bin/akmd
mount /sdcard
cp /sdcard/jf1.43_akmd /system/bin/akmd
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And I understand every single bit of it but the part where he copies the jf1.43 akmd to bin because I can't seem to get my hands on that single file.
Here's the actual question in case you want to skip all of that crap.
How do I extract the particular file that i need (akmd from JF's 1.42) from the .img file that I downloaded. Is there a particular method, or am I just downloading the incorrect package?
Furthermore, if you have any other possible solutions to my problem, I'd be glad to hear them. I'm pretty much shooting in the dark here since the first time I even looked into the system was yesterday when it was rooted.
Ok I found the perl script that I needed and ran it to extract the image. Now I'm looking for the file.
Oh my god. I'm an idiot. Opened the file in Linux and everything showed up. I think I might've had hidden files not showing.
Sorry for the stupid question, hah.
Edit: No luck. Am I really the only one who got a broken accelerometer from rooting?
Edit2: For someone who usually picks up on stuff like this quickly, I'm an idiot. For some reason every problem crossed my mind but the fact that I was using a rom that was not specifically made for the MyTouch. I flashed with the modded Cyanogen rom and the accelerometer works again.
You can delete this thread if you'd like mods.
Roebeet, Rothnic, and Myself have been hard at work to bring you what we hope will be the killer ROM for our G-Tablets. Now that we have hit BETA status, we are interested in hearing your feedback including issues and feature requests.
The projects git home is here: https://github.com/gojimi/VEGAn-TAB
(here you will find all project code and mods. we are using a free account there and space is limited so ACTUAL RELEASES will happen in the Thread that Roebeet has already started)
Issues and feature requests can be followed and posted here: https://github.com/gojimi/VEGAn-TAB/issues
(please read before posting new issues or features request so we don't fill up with duplicates. you may also vote up the issues you feel are most important and we can concentrate on those areas based on your feedback.)
The wiki for VEGAn-TAB will be here: https://github.com/gojimi/VEGAn-TAB/wiki
(there is nothing there yet.... but as we approach a production stable ROM we may be adding some info here)
Thank you for all your support and patience as we iron out some of the more major issue. (ie. SSL! phew so glad we figured that one out..... such a simple mistake too!)
I am usually buried in CODE or REWORK of current framework that I don't come up for air to check XDA much.... But I do watch the GIT Repo and I will try to make a greater effort to keep an eye on this post.
For questions to issues that you are having but others aren't your answer may still be best answered in Roebeet's post.

Can you guys include a tun/tap module to allow OpenVPN to work?
I can't get the Ad Hoc Tether to work from my rooted Hero phone. I had it working on the Zpad with this fix: http://www.chinadigitalcomm.com/android-a81/a81e-connect-to-ad-hoc-wifi-t1413.html
Any thoughts? Anyone else able to connect to an Ad Hoc Tether?
Edit (Fix) I was using the wrong fix. The fix it to apply the wpa6_adhoc-signed.zip
This was the fix I initially did on the Zpad rom, I just messed up and did the wrong fix...
I had a problem with the sound, sdcard, fc on websites, and changing the soft buttons. It was killer despite those issues. Also rotation of the home screen.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Do you guys still been able to copy the files from laptop to G Tablet running beta? I can't do that. Is there any trick to it or you guys using 2nd SD card?

The only issue I have so far is with Grooveshark FCing. Sign up and tutorial screens work fine but the actual interface never loads. Otherwise, great work on this. Its very responsive and other than the GS FCs I have no FCs.
Thank you guys for your hard work.
Wanted to answer a few of the questions. If I forget you I apologize.
OPENVPN support- we'll look into that feature for the future. (MAY not make it into betas)
wpa_supplicant issues.ie adhoc tether. This is an oversight. Should be in next beta
Most of the sound and stock browser FCS have been fixed(Ssl now works)
SD card issues. We are aware and they are all potentially related to a hack we implemented to get external sd support working. This issue includes the internal SD disappearance when connected to pc via usb. This is my PRIMARY focus right now.
Again thank you all for your patience and feedback.
Is there a way to change the launch applications along the bottom? Even if it's a file to modify.

I plan on making a supplement or maybe a full image with the same supplicant binary in TnT Lite, plus that updated Gallery and a clean hosts file.
Working on TnT Lite 2.3.0 primarily at the moment, however. I guess I need two devices!
Another random question. .. I am on Tina lite 2.2 and find it to be super stable and flexible. I am concerned about what will happen when the battery gets to low : )
What happens with this rom when the charge runs out?
With b3 I find that I have to clear devoric cache after each shutdown or I lose the ability to run certain apps. Any suggestions?

Can Not build VEGAn-TAB from source ???
I tried building the source from
VEGAn-TAB git hub
But it seem that there are missing. When I ran
repo init -u < the url submited in this thread for the git> ( it does not allow me to add urls)
I received the following error
fatal: manifest 'default.xml' not available
fatal: manifest default.xml not found
Is it possible to build VEGAn-TAB from source? If it is can you please let me know how?
Thanks
what do i have with VEGAn Beta4??
the only issues i have with this rom is with sdcard2 or the microSD card, only when i put jpeg files in it and i open the gallery to load them and when i do a reboot all the pictures are gone from the microSD card, but just the pictures i can open the music player and play all songs and reboot and they still in there the issue is only for me with image files. After i update the kernel with the patch that has been post on the vegan beta4 topic i think this is almost perfect....i hope you can fix the files getting erased on the microSD card.....but after all you guys are doing and amazing job with all the ROMS you have made....i'm very gratefull for all the work you have done, you make love more this tablet....thanks a lot!

Look and make sure there is NOT a .nomedia file in your picture folders, that will prevent them from showing.
Sent from my SGH-T959
the problem is not the files are not shown on the gallery, the problem is that the pictures are all deleted after i open the gallery and makes the pictures appear in it, so when i reboot the tablet all my pictures get deleted, even if a browse the microsd card with my computer and not in the tablet...all the files are gone!....

I got the same thing tooo. also all my movies get deleted too
At this point the sd card2 is Clean
Ok the installation is very complicated (and probably will not work in a 2.2 phone but let's test anyway)
Do NOT try this if you're not experienced enough, if this works somebody else might prepare an easier update.zip file. I am not responsible for anything, this might set your phone into a bootloop, in that case you have to be smart enough to be able to remove the libs and apks you installed.
Download flashupdate.zip from the attachments.
Copy the folders from the zip file to your OO:s /system directory.
Then take the FlashPlugin.apk file from the zip file and place it onto your sd card.
Reboot your phone
Install the FlashPlayer.apk from the sd card, select replace application.
(You need to have a checkmark in install from unknown sources in the settings)
Reboot your phone.
The flash lite should be working in the default android browser (no opera),
check from the browser settings if plugins are enabled, try this site:
w ww .whatismyflash.co m
Write here what version number the site reports, if any.
These libraries were taken from the Samsung i5800, which has an armv6 processor and launched with Android 2.1, this is not dependant on htc frameworks like the flash lite on the legend and hero.

forgive me for asking, but how come this is inside a Froyo discussion?
I tried this method a long time ago and it didn't work. maybe it only works with the 2.1 browser.
I said probably, i just wanted to test the possibility, I don't own an optimus so i had no idea if it would work. It seems this is not possible, thanks for the replies.
Test with Optimus One with Prime v2.
Installer ok, browser don't crash but drill no flash...
I bet you also have to tell the browser that flash lite exists. IMO flash lite just sits there waiting to be called to work.
Actually it does. If you don't believe me, install Adobe Flash 10.1. Every time you visit a site containing flash the browser will exit (NOT force close).
This works similarly.
I saw someone say on the dev category that flash works with dolphin hd. Check the thread where they're talking about gingerbread
maybe flash works in gingerbread with dolphin i can prove that flash dosent work on dolphin on 2.2
but what i can say is that i can install flash on cm7 but it dosent work on the browser i did try alot flash movies but no one worked.
I tried CM7 too but I can't really test flash since I can't seem to get an IP address from our router, and the network I'm on does not have 3G or even GPRS
As soon as the dhcp issue is resolved, I'll test it out and report.
The only way to install flash on optimus one now is by installing the Eclair browser. anyone can do this? or port Eclair to our phones. Hahaha.
isn' that kinda like going backwards?
yes but it's good in a way that we get flash lite 3.1
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-flash-10-1-on-android-2-1-eclair-devices/
that maybe a solution for our phone to install 10.1 flash on our phone
I'm going to try again with mik_os' CM7 port. I've been reading reports of flash working If it doesn't, I'm flashing back to my old ROM until GPS is fixed
nope flash dosent work on gingerbread.
i did try it now for a multipletimes.
I've found something on the market called "MobileFlash". However, I don't think it installs a plugin on the browser. Go check it out

No need to install modaco R6 as it is not fully compatible with the latest vega firmware 1.8. Just follow these simple instructions and it will be working without any add-ons at all. CWM people will probably have to do it via the recovery.
Just download the attachment with the vega, go to settings, software tool, software update and point it to where you got the downloaded file. The vega will reboot and you will have a full working market. It will be the old version the first time you launch it but it will update itself. After that just install maps, youtube and everything else google. The only thing I'm having trouble installing is the official twitter app.
Hope that helps you guys at XDADEV

The android out of the box symbol is fine thats when it is flashing the files. there should be a progress bar that turns orange, after that happens the device should reboot its self. The only requirement is you are running stock v1.08.

I have noticed launcher pro does not show in the market had to install manually. i have tried changing the market files, but that does not work, so it might be as you say down to location, or i think it could be to do with are device name on the market, maybe advent does not want us to have those apps. I cant remember where the device name is. I will have to look further.

The battery was fully charged out of the box and the screen polythene had most definately been removed and replaced. Need to do some more reading methinks
Thanks for the assistance guys, my memory card was the culprit. I had swapped it for a bigger one, and not copied the contents. Sorted now tho now to get flash working properly

It works ok, you need to delete some of the apk's out of files/system/app. things like car home can be deleted and other little things. Like that it will not run out of space when you install it and it will not give you errors. This is just another option, that's all. Some more goodies will come along from modaco and xdadev like the new R7 rom addon that were made specifically for the 1.08 firmware.
thanks man, i just changed the 0 to a 1 at the end and it worked, then market updated the second time i opened it.
been trying to do this for over 2 wks
