So many to choose from!! - myTouch 3G, Magic General

With all the new roms out for 32A can anyone tell me which is pretty good.
I've narrowed it all down to the ones with Amon_RA's new kernel.
Basically there is Cyanogen 4.0.2, JacXHeroski v1.4 and Hyakuro 1.79.482.3.
I want a balance between features and speed. Been using jacheroski 2.7.4r2 but thats a bit out dated now...I think.
Any info is good
Thanks

What about Amon_RA's own rom based on Google ION. It's the fastest and stable if that is what you are lookng for.

Nah want a Hero rom. I also like the prettiness. Hence features.

This isn't really the right forum to be asking this. Read the sticky at the top of the forum.
That being said, Hero ROMs are mainly fairly slow, they are getting better and will get better as the 32A kernels get customized...but the Cupcake based ones, i think, are a better balance of speed and features.

Whats the developmental aspect of this thread??
None.........so please post in General.
Warning given.

JACxHEROski-v1.4 for 32A + Amon_RA's 1.0.1 kernel
So far there are very few problems with this and it is very fast.

Similar Hero ROMs (32A) - Which to choose?

I'm a little confused.
I have been experimenting with different ROM's for my 32A device, all based on the official HTC Sense release for Magic.
I have tried:
CaSense 1.0
MyHero 2.0.4
HoFo 3.0.5
I've been a long time MyHero user, and i have been very pleased with both performance and functionality. Switched to CaSense to try something new. It works very well too. Since I already wiped, I downloaded the third 32a ROM, this time the Official HoFo Community ROM.
Now I'm lost. In my opinion there are very few differences between the three. Which one should I choose?
I would probably get different answers from the different followers.
Does anybody know advantages/disadvantages of the different ROM's?
Is there an updated comparison chart of the different ROM's exist? (I know there is a 32B comparison chart, but not for 32A, and I don't know if any of there are updated, or even possible to keep updated due to the rapid development of new versions...)
Why are there so many similar ROM's available?
It seems that most (all) developers are working together to find solutions to issues, and most ROM's have the same functionality and faults in them. So why do we have so many options?
I would also like some input on this subject also
Hello all,
I've been lurking on the forum for a while now, and my 32A magic should be on its way now...
Information about different flavours of cooked roms for magic with Sense seems scarse so, to me, if anyone who knows better the differences between them and wants to share, I'd be more than happy to know =)
Cheers,
--to
Yep, I would like to know too!
The wiki for the Magic only list the firmwares. Would be nice to actually have some info on the benefits of the different types.
hello all
I have tried these ROMs except hofo
I think Casense1.0 is better than myhero2.04
but now i'm using CyannogenMod-4.2.2,it's much stabler than all option
you give.
I'm from China .my English is poor. sorry
I'm currently on CaSense 1.1 and find it very stable.
I also tried Magic GyD 2.0.3 and it is also good.
The HoFo ROM only had English and Chinese language installed, and I would like a ROM that supports Norwegian keyboard. So this is not for me.
I will give CyanogenMod 4.2.3.1 a try too, but I am still confused
Most of the ROMs are very similar, and I can not understand what differences excists that can justify all the different versions.
Are the ROM's just personal adjustments made to the developers liking, or do they include something unique?
I am using HoFo and I love it. It is extremly stable with little to no bugs and Hotweiss is very fast fixing any issues.
Using myHero after trying most of the other roms, reglasses seems to do a nice job on his cooks. But i have to admit i didn't care to give CaSense much of a chance cause it seemed like he put something together way to fast with to many issues just to be the first one releasing a rom based on the official TW magic rom with sense UI. Where i appreciate the developer taking his time to do some nice cooking and serve the good and more stable release.

From your signature, you have a CaSense 1.1 which you modified yourself. Why did you do it yourself? If you can answer that, then you have the answer to your question above.
Alright, I've sworn by hotweiss' HoFo ROMs for a long while, simply because it was just modified stock and he had the same device and provider as me. It's currently undergoing teething issues with the Sense UI. I would also like to know about the differences between all the Sense UI ROMs - I just don't have the time to load each one and tinker with it long enough to find their individual perks.
Judging by your post, I believe you want the nice flashy Sense UI. Keep in mind that Sense UI does significantly slow your phone down - WAY down. I installed Cyanogen's ROM the other day just to compare the difference. If you can live without flashy UI, go with Cyanogen. It's much faster and snappier, and really, the installation is pretty much a breeze anyways.
Advantages of Sense UI is that it looks pretty. That's pretty much it. Most of it's functionality can be found from other apps on the Market. You got a ****load of Twitter apps, Facebook app for the widget, SyncMyPix to get contact photos, etc etc. That said, I'm sort of addicted to the Sense UI interface right now myself. Oh, one more thing - Sense UI doesn't allow other apps to control the brightness (I believe it's an issue affecting all Sense UI ROMs). It's a pain in the ass, since I used to have my brightness auto adjust based on location and time. If that's something you want...go Cyanogen.
Oh, Cyanogen also has OTA updates. Hotweiss also posts up the link on Twitter. I do not know about the other ROMs though. This means that if you have a nice data plan, you can update your phone anywhere.

The modification consists of removing some applications I don't use (Twitter, Plurk, etc) and adding my own ringtones and wallpaper/lockscreen.
I would probably do this to any ROM I choose.
My point is, that it seems irrelevant which ROM I choose, they are basically the same, providing identical features, speed and functionality.

I am very fond of the Sense UI. If I wasn't, I would give Cyanogen a try.
I don't use Twitter, Facebook or Plurk, and I usually remove the applications from the ROM.
And I have always thought the UI was snappy enough for me, so speed is not an issue.
I do not require a frequently updated ROM, but it is nice if issues are fixed as soon as possible. But since many (all) Hero ROM's have the same issues, I just thought the community would benefit from a joint effort of the developers to fix those, instead of the minor tweaking jobs they do now.
(No disrespect to the developers intended. I really appreciate the effort. I just want you to go in a different direction )

Best ROM for 32A Magic (as of 05/11/09)

As ROMs keep changing and being fixed, what would be the best ROM for a 32A Magic.
Im debating between The official HoFo ROM and MyHero 2.0.4.

Why don't you just try them and decide for yourself ? Find one there cover your needs instead of making yet another "best rom thread"!

Hear, hear.
It depends entirely what you want out of your rom.
Broadly, there are a few types of rom:
AOSP - Good example is CyanogenMod. Very stable, very fast. Based off AOSP 1.6 (Donut)
Hero-based - until recently, if you wanted a Sense UI (aka Rosie) on your android, you'd use a hero based rom.
Sense-based - Hofo Community rom is an example of this. Runs Cupcake (1.5) rather than Donut (1.6) though.
Ion-based - nk02 / Amon RA have done roms based off the Ion releases - damn fast, none of the bloat of hero/sense, and pretty good, although not updated very often (because they don't need to be).
If you're after a good, fast, general rom, then its hard to beat CM.
Hofo is probably my next choice, if you like sense.
If you want a no-nonsense, bare bones, screaming fast son-of-a-***** ROM, go an Ion based one.
Otherwise, try the roms yourself and get an idea of what you like.
Cyanogen hands down.
Thanks for the help =)

Quickest visually applealing HERO rom w/flash

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

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

Fender/Sapphire 32a question

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).
Mod. edt: not dev related, moved to general

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.
