I went to look at my upgrade options today on the tmobile site and the white MyTouch 3g has aHome as its home screen in the pictures....
Hmm I wonder if this comes installed or if someone at t-mobile screwed up?
If I am correct, the image you are referring to is under the "personalize" category... (I haven't looked at ahome since it doesn't interest me). Having it under personalize doesn't mean that it ships installed, but CAN be installed, and it can, since its in the market available for anyone who is interested.

Is it possible to run a smooth version of the HERO rom on the mytouch, or is it too slow for everyday use? I want to install widgets...thats why i ask.
I'm not sure anyone has figured out how to get by the myTouch's "Perfect SPL" yet, so... no.
ive always found them a bit too slow but there are alot of developers working on the speed at the moment
The MyTouch can't be rooted yet as said. You'll have get widgets from the market.

Which widgets? I found beautiful widgets, open home, and a nonfunctional hero weather widget but I want everything to be seamless

Then you'll have to wait. Those are the widgets I was refering to, there is a music widget as well if you use Mixzing. (very close to the Sense UI music widget)

Thanks Clinton...I definitely dont have a problem rocking the plain old CupcakeUI!
anyway, how is open home? theres also dxtop and ahome...and im not sure which to choose, if any. do they drain battery/performance noticeably? seamless and fluid integration with daily use?
Does any one know how to get ADB for mytouch 3g
I hooked up my mytouch went to SDK and adb shell says error: device to found?? anyone know whats up. My g1 gets recognized.
HMM???
I've been using this clock/weather widget, and everything works perfectly. You can find it in the app store as Weather Widget version 2.0. It's def worth the $1.50.

Looks pretty good with one of these wallpapers too.

You have to remove the g1 driver and let it reload the Magic/Sapphire/myTouch driver. Search the forum. It's around.
Hi, i have a rooted Vodafone UK magic running Cyanogens 4.0.1. i noticed some extra app's were installed specifically from Tmobile's packs, including the IM app.
i also noticed even in my default vodafone ROM that there is an IM client (but only visible when u view manage accounts). Cyanogens rom provides the IM application yet i cant seem to use it, is it tied only to tmobile accounts? or tmobile handsets? when i run it, it tells me it cant find the mobile number or something.
just curious as none of the other IM clients seem to be that great
Yap,i would like to know too!
I have the same issue on my Tmobile (uk) g1 running latest cyanogen. Would like to know if there is anything we can do to get this working? Hi msn is an alternative but that seems a waste of time and space as there is already an I'M app there for us
can somebody please help me. both my husband and i have the sprint htc hero and when there is an update for any of his installed apps he gets a little icon on his status bar. i dont.
does any one know why or how to fix it?
I too don't get any notifications about updated apps even though it is set to notify.
You need to be running os 1.6 or higher to get this.
Also it does't always display them for some reason just sometimes.
How come running 1.6 is even an option? And a setting for those notifications in 1.5 - why is that? The thread starter said that his friend's Hero gets the notifications - maybe that was a bluff then? xD
On my G1, I always got the notifications about market updates, and that was running 1.5.
On the Hero, I never got them running a 1.5 ROM, but do get them now I'm running a 2.1 ROM.
My question to the OP is are both you and your husband running exactly the same ROM?
Regards,
Dave
Yes both my husband and I purchased our phones at the same time in the same store and we are both running 1.5 and that software update sprint released last year, 1.56....
He gets the icon on the status bar and I don't.
Suggest you may get a better response if you post this on the Hero CDMA forum. That is specifically for the Sprint Hero, which is different from most other Heroes, because it uses CDMA rather than GSM.
By the way my GSM Hero does not show any notifications of updates. I have to go into the Market and choose My Downloads
First off kudos to the folks that got root working on the MT3GS.... I'm at work right now, but this will be the FIRST thing I do when I get home....
Now that we have root, there are 2 things that I would like to see, and this would make the device even more awesome than it is:
1 - The stock 2.1 Launcher, I would love to see the stock 2.1 launcher & lock screen on this bad boy. I LIKE Espsresso, but find myself using LauncherPro more and more.
2 - Live Wallpaper Support.
I would attempt to program it myself if I knew the first step in programming for Android, but will gladly donate to whomever gets these 2 things working.
Isn't the stock 2.1 launcher available as a separate apk?
I haven't found one that works appropriately on the MT3GS screen. All of the apks I've tried are for WVGA devices.
yeah what IS there to do?
what metamorphs work if any?
and can we change the favs action button?
WiFi Tether
So I've successfully rooted my phone and gotten the ENG image with the SlideMeRoot update all installed. Now does anyone know if there are any wireless tethering apps out there that will work with this phone? I tried Android Wifi Tether and while I was able to connect to the ad-hoc network from my laptop I was never able to get out to the Internet.
Well, darn, that was fast! eugene373, you have a donation coming your way.
Just tried your modified slide rom, and with LauncherPro installed, my dreams have come true....
now he's got a legend port out!!
I got my phone yesterday and charged it up etc. I have been giving it a work out trying to get all I could for customizing it as stock.
1 ST ? is how do I get this "air swipe" thing to work? I have all I can find in the settings / air gesture. All the buttons are set to on and it says there is an icon on the status bar with a hand on it, mine don't show the hand and only holding a finger over such as email will it show content. How do I activate and get the air stuff to work?
2nd ? is this, I was out of town and on my way home I stopped at a Best Buy, there happened to be a Samsung rep in the store with a display out, he let me play with his working demo and I asked a lot of questions. He showed me the phone dialer and said on the ATT version it comes out with a white key pad but the dialer could be "customized" to be a pale blue which his was, but he couldn't get the settings to come up to show me how. Does anyone know where this is changed to make the dialer blue with the contact showing a background as blue ? I don't know which version his demo was but I am assuming it was the international version possibly.
3 rd ? Being used to the ATT HTC One X , when arranging apps on the screen it was possible to merge two or more apps into one folder, on this phone I can't seem to put any apps together in one folder, is this not possible on this phone?
4th ? I was talking with the rep and mentioned I like to "tinker" with custom roms as I rooted , unlocked and S-OFF on the HTC One. Further I told him about reading the dev web site and rooting the new GS4 and as of yet no custom recovery. HE said that would void the "carrier" warranty but didn't say anything about manufacture warranty, so is it void also?
I am sure as I get deeper into this phone I am going to have more questions, so any help with this would be appreciated .

I do not see any setting for a pale blue dialr either.
As for the folders; When viewing either your home screen or all of your apps, hit the menu key and choose create folder. After creatung the folder, hit the menu key again and choose edit. When the screen adjusts you can drag icons into the newly created folder.

Thank you, well I had this phone in my hands yesterday and the guy had a shirt on that said he was Samsung inside a Best Buy in Arkansas. He did tell me that the ATT version came out with a white dialer , which mine has but his had a blue dialer. He told me there was a setting to change it to blue or ??? but at the time he couldn't find it. I think I have been all around the phone inside but I can't find anything like that and can't get the air thing to work right. He just waved his hand over the screen and it changed screens. I can hover a finger over the email and read inside without actually opening the email. He said this was another "air" feature but it only worked on the Samsung email app. If using , yahoo or gmail or some other app for email it wouldn't work.

Yes , I am pretty sure they have cell phones in Arkansas, in fact the local Walmart does a big business in supplying most of the county here. I had a conversation with the Samsung Tech dept. come to find out that feature is only available on the International version. Asked why the Samsung rep was demonstrating a International version at a Best Buy in Arkansas, I was given no answer. After being guided thru the booting of the boot loader, and a cache wipe , then a reset and then a factory reset, I think the feature of the air thing is working, not like I assumed it was supposed to but its almost an air feature I think.
If you want to make folders the easy way (dragging apps together), just use Nova or another 3rd party launcher.
