just wondering if anyone is thinking of Tweaking the HTC Magic Rom to make it faster and better with voice search and other needed features
Keep looking through android development, its in here...dunno if its with your exact requests but...
As for the voice search, i did exactly what the post thread said and just added from adp1.5, so i added voice search.apk, worked like a charm after i rebooted.

Why not just use a Rogers build? Rogers ROM is identical to the Magic ROM.
no the magic rom looks better overal

Hi,
I am new to this forum and would just like to know if anyone has any idea if there will be an official release of the HTC Hero's UI on to the G1.
I have heard that it will be available for all other Android and Windows Mobile phones except the G1.
Please let me know.
Thanks a Lot
Pretty doubtful I think because it uses HTC's custom libraries to create the user interface, while the G1 was officially shipped using open source code available in the cupcake branch. Some devs are adding features though from the donut branch also whick keeps us G1 users up to date with the latest features but eventually the hardware will get limited to support these additions.
I've not actually tried out a Hero build myself but from the threads posted about it so far, the ports to the G1 are still pretty slow and bloated, especially the widgets.
The answer, sadly, is no - HTC has confirmed that the Sense UI will not be ported to any device that is branded "with Google" such as the G1 or MyTouch 3G.
Won't it be ported to the Roger's G1 though? That's not a "with google" phone.
its already been semi ported. If you have rooted your phone you can already install a Hero Rom on your G1, although there are some things missing like bluetooth, it is getting updated almost daily.
cool, thanks a lot for all your help.
i cant get the better cut application to work with drizzy's V3 hero rom. it downloads/installs perfectly but once i select "create icon" nothing happens. i tried to search for some info on the topic but i guess it was too broad of a topic. does anybody know how to get this app to function? i loved having the ability to make my own icons for applications.
i have the exact same problem but on a dream and im running drizzy's champion hero so maybe its drizzy's hero roms that dont work with it
Both of those are outdated.
Each Hero port you guys spoke of is considered outdated. He has 3-4 ROMS that are based on the 1.79.xxx dump of Hero. Those ROMS you speak of (if I'm not mistaken) are based on the 1.60.xxx dump.
I'm using JAC and Ccyrowski - their latest works with Better Cut.
What is the safest, fastest, nicest looking ROM that has has flash and most functionality for a 32B myTouch?
If you could give me some directions on the install that would be amazing too. I am not familiar with the hero rom process. I'd prefer it to be as simple as possible, just like Cyan's.
Thanks in advance!!
11 Days later and still nothing. I'm sure someone has some idea!
it depends on what you're looking for. There are plenty of 1.5 hero's. My personal favorites are Ttran001's 3.0 and Qtek's 1.7 or 1.8.
If you are looking for an eclair hero, look in the dream forums for a 32B. there are a few there, but they are not quite up to par yet and have some bugs including the camera does not work yet due to not having the drivers
OK, so the MyTouch and the HTC Magic at Rogers (http://www.htc.com/us/support/magic-rogers/downloads/) look like exactly the same phone - but the rogers has had a 2.1 + Sense UI update and its faster than any other Sense UI rom here at xda.
What are the differences between these two phones? Can we port over the rogers 1.5 w/ Sense UI to get the fastest Sense UI rom on the MT3G?
Is it against the forum rules to ask a Rogers user for their serial number so I can download the update from HTC's website and work on porting it myself? If not, would anyone be willing to PM me their serial so I can get to work on it?
The thing is - speed has always been an issue with sense roms - the rogers has other bugs but maybe the speed increases would be enough for users to start using this rom (if we could cut it) and then we can fix all the bugs HTC won't fix in it. And yes, I know this is based off of 1.5 - but its also written specifically for similar hardware. - Granted, I understand the difference in RAM between the 32a and 32b devices (288 vs 192)
Isn't Cursorsense already based on the Rogers rom?
it is, but its been made for the 32A not the 32B, 32A has more ram than 32B so we need a smaller, less intensive rom like the rogers.

Giving HTC phones Sense is based on the phone provider; ROGERS decided to give HTC Magic users Sense UI, some other people are not so lucky as each provider wants to customize each ROM to their own liking (adding their own apps, wallpapers, boot up screens, etc) and some want to add new features like Sense.
I hope people also realize that the update ROGERS put out was NOT 2.1. People have to stop thinking this; the ROM is still 1.5 and the 2.1 update is supposed to be coming out soon.
If you want a Sense UI, download one of the 1.6+ ROMS, ROGERS was a good ROM while I had it but there was too many bugs in the ROM itself; there are probably better, faster ROMS already out there that are vastly superior to ROGERS ROM.

The OP clearly stated he know it was 1.5...
To OP:
The ROM is a 32A designed ROM. I don't think any amount of tweeking will make it run better on a MT3G to be frank.

The original post has an edit; I didn't see the last part until after my post.
Best Rom
search for binary100100 he ported a rom too the 32a (fender/1.2) but it is a g1 port with support for the mytouch original and the new ones as well as all the g1's out there..
on my friends g1 it boots in about 1 minute 30sec
and on my 1.2 it boots in under a min..
anyways its like KiNGxKlickDroidEris2G1 just search for it or look for Binary100100 who ported it and he has a link to the original thread
Dude... the thread is from may 2010!!!!!
the rom runs flawlessly, it boots nicely, nd with the CR_Slide OC it works even faster, the kernel frm the overclock puts my 1.2 mytouch at 845mhz
with an already stable nd speedy sense rom!!!
damn its fast with that kernel its booting faster than ever
This might be a stupid question, and I've already searched everywhere, but are the Fender/Mytouch 1.2 ROMS the same as the 32A roms??
No.. fender is a 32a/32b hybrid... look for roms that thread title say support mt3g 1.2/fender... and btw cm 5.0.x build supports it.. and is the best 2.1 build... look for it in the g1/dream section.
ive tried it, but im looking for a really good rom with Sense, but the best one I've found was from the Droid Eris, so MMS wouldn't work(VZW settings were locked in).

I was able to port a Sense UI rom to the Fender device a few months ago. I haven't actually given it any recent attempts though.
The Fender device hasn't really caught on as expected. Especially with the new MyTouch Slide, Nexus and other devices with much faster specifications.
Any kernel developed by Cyanogen (I believe 2.6.33 and later) should support the device. However the fact that it would be based off a Cyanogen rom would suggest that it was ported over since Cyanogen has already stated on several occasions that he would not produce a rom with HTC Sense (otherwise known as Rosie formerly known on Hero devices) and not to ask him about it.
Here is the rom that I ported: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669942
It is pretty stable but doesn't not have a netfilter (thus no tethering... look into Barnacle for that) or bluetooth.
But seriously... if you want something to use on a daily basis then try Cyanogen's 5.0.7 rom or wait for the 5.0.8 which is supposed to be released soon (we are currently on the last test build... hopefully).
Good luck.
