Magic vs Hero

HI guys,
looking to sell my iphone and come back to HTC!!!
wondering if there any big difference between the magic capabilities to the hero?
can the hero's rom be fully flashed to the magic? is there anything the hero can do the magic cant?
i really like the hero features but love the magic's look
thanks for your help

Well
There are two different variations of the magic
32A and 32B
The 32A is similar to the HERO, it has the sense interface like the Hero and
quote me if im wrong but i think the hardward is pretty much the same
(memory amounts etc.)
The 32B has less memory than the 32A and hero, for this reason and licencing
issues (phone is google branded version) HTC has not released an official Sense upgrade for it, and will not.
If i were you i would get a hero, HTC have already anounced they are
working on an offcial upgrade to Android 2.0 for the device.
There is also a chance the magic, both variation, will not get an upgrade (official anyway) to android 2.0, saying that cyanogen will more than likely
bring out an awsome 2.0 rom for the magics.
To sum up, if you decide to get a Magic make sure you get one of the 32A
one, if you decide to get a Hero....well....get a hero.. ;-)

Sense UI 1.6?

I'm sure this so obvious it's staring me in the face and I've just been on these awesome forums too much in the last 72 hours to see straight (trying out every known ROM on my newly rooted HTC Magic ^_^)
But is there a Sense UI with Android 1.6? The "Rom Bible" thread doesn't include any roms for it.
Sorry if this is obvious :S

nope there is currently no sense UI 1.6 Rom

Excellent, I'm not crazy.
Sucks, there's no 1.6 Sense ROM.
Oh well, thanks for the info!

MyTouch Vs Rogers? Fastest Sense Rom for the MyTouch?

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

[Q] Ginger Bread + Sense HD

Well is this possible ?
I'm sure there is some concern now as i can see no build
is it being worked upon or what ??

No Gingerbread Sense Roms for Desire HD or Evo or Desire
so we have to wait for that to get Sense 2.3 in out Leos

Is there any updates? It would be perfect to get an Android 2.3.2 + Sense UI NAND ROM on HD2 (MDJs_CyanogenMod7_v.2.6_NAND_A2SD+ based, for example).

It's all in HTC's hands. They have to upgrade their current code to Gingerbread and release it to phones. Once we have that, nothing can stop us! MUAHAHAHA!... Sorry, got carried away.

[Q] Gingerbread w/Sense on HD2??

Is this something someone here can port for the HD2??

I would love a sense gingerbread rom, simply because I love the sense clocks and phone dialer

And Sense has better integration with MS Exchange...

It will be great. I can not make without sense , and that is what is stops me to insstall something different.

Count me in!

Sense with gingerbread would be great

I think we have just to wait that HTC releases a Gingerbread update for the Desire HD or the Desire Z. With all the work already done by the devs here for porting these devices to the HD2, it shouldn't take a long time to have a Gingerbread + Sense on our beloved HD2.

Rumors says that a Desire 2 has Gingerbread w/sense..
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

the desire s and the incredible s both have sense with gingerbread so may porting their rom would help

I think the devs have to wait for HTC to release the sdk for it too.

i want this happened too..

if i am correct a couple of days there was a gingerbread Rom on android.h2roms.com which supports sense. Unfortunately there is non avi at this moment. Can any1 confirm this? Or was this just a mistake which was corrected now?

As far as I now, there are no Gingerbread builds with real HTC Sense.
Most are fakes, because they are just including some third party widgets for the clock and the weather. They should not be allowed to put the word Sense in the title of their build.

Gingerbread w/Sense
All who are interested. Check out this thread. I haven't used it yet (still downloading) but looks very promising.

Cheers

do you know any nand build of that rom? please post it, thanks!

Would certainly be interested in this. Good luck to anyone looking into it!

It would be nice to have a Gingerbread Sense build, not a "Sense-themed" one.

i simply like sense because you can manually link your contacts to fb. I like having my contact info with pictures =)

Try Sense of Eclipse. Very good Desire HD build with Sense 2.1 and a lot of Sense 3.0 stuff.
