hey guys
why is it 32A devices get all the cool ROMs? I have only saw a few 32B roms
That's because the 32B ROMs are in the Dream forum. Most G1 ROMs work on 32B too.
Actually, the most advanced ROMs come to G1/32B first. The best Android devs (Eugene, Manup and friends) don't cook for 32A.
great! thanks for the link. I'll defo look at them when i get my magic in 2 days!
Have there been any Froyo or Eclair roms tailored specifically for the MyTouch3G 1.2 yet ?
I've been looking around and couldn't find a single rom OPTIMIZED _FOR_ the MT1.2 (The mytouch fender and all mytouch with 3.5 MM headset jack)
So far everything just says 32a 32b. --when where we know we have more memory and more room to play .
Kind Regards,
David
Cyanogenmod 5.0.8 Eclair for Magic/Dream/Mytouch/G1. I am running it on my Fender Edition right now. Everything works great. Can download directly from Cyanogen's site.
With all due respect.
I said specifically made for the mythouch3g 1.2
With all due respect, you do not have more memory (RAM or ROM) than the standard 32A.
So any 32a rom will work on a mt3g fender ed?
Is the rooting/unlocking bootloader method the same as a standard 32a then?
thanks for any help, sorry for the off topic post
I thought the standard mytouch had 192mb of RAM, whereas the ones with the headphone jack had 288mb. Or was it just the Fender one that had 288?

Nope, you're correct. The MT3g 1.2 has 288mb RAM, and the original MT3g has 192mb
So will any 32a rom work on a mt3g LE?
Honestly, I've not seen a ROM just for this phone. Except the rooted stock ROM.

Then you haven't been looking hard enough
OP, you can try Cyanogenmod 6 (2.2 Froyo ROM.) I've been running it it all day and it's pretty awesome. It utilizes the extra RAM and the headphone jack works.

I'm aware that there is quite a few ROMs that support the mytouch 1.2/Fender LE, but again the OP is looking for ROMs that are *only* for the 1.2... which except for the stock rooted ROM... there aren't any...
ROMs out are for magic 32a/mytouch 32b/mytouch 1.2/fender le... sooooo..........................................................................

Ah, okay. Every ROM for the 1.2 is a port besides the stock root ROM.

which version of CM6 are you running on your MyTouch 3g 1.2?
I thought the LE/32a/1.2 whatever were all identical??
Even if they're not, the memory specs are the same but no rom specifies LE/1.2, so are all 32a rom's compatible with the LE/1.2?
I dont understand why the OP thinks his 1.2 is so special/different, when I was pretty damn sure hardware wise they were the same.
well, Fender LE/mytouch 1.2 are identical - that is to say they are a 32a board, with a 32b radio, a new touch screen and the 3.5mm jack.
The 32a magic is a different thing, uses the 3.22.x or 6.35 radio, and the matchinl SPL.
both have the 288mb RAM since they use the 32a boards, but in the US the fender/1.2 is back to the 1.33.x SPL and the 32b/G1 radio w/2.22.xx

so does this mean that all 32b/G1 ROMs are compatible with the myTouch 1.2? I just got mine like two days ago so I'm trying to find out what I can/can't flash. Like could I go over to the G1 boards and flash those ROMs safely?

For the most part, Yes, unless it specifies some other requirements.
All G1 roms with a CM kernel will work on the mytouch 1.2
MT3g 1.2 Roms
@Cody, I noticed in your signature for your phones that you are running CM 6.0. I have the identical phone set up. Except when I tried to flash over to CM 6.0 from Chromatic 4.1 Test 16 it damn near bricked my phone. It went into a boot loop. Long stroy short, I used my GoldCard to recover. However, I'm still interested in how you got the ROM to work. Can you help?

Did you do a full wipe before upgrading?
Yup CM6.0 RC2 works great
I had recently tried CM6 RC1 on my MYTG 1.2 (3.5mm Jack) and it went into a endless reboot loop so stayed on CM 5.08. I recently tried CM 6.0 RC2. Works awesome, silky smooth transitions as always. Better battery. Haven't yet tried Flash.
So bottom line CM6.0 RC2 works awesome on MyTouch 3G 1.2

Hi everyone,
I have bought vodafone magic from ebay and just after I bought it I found out that vodafone (Australia) magic is 32b with 192mb RAM.
I really want to flash custom rom on it but I'm quite disappointed knowing that the phone I bought has lesser RAM. I'm in the middle of making decision whether to sell it back and get 32a model or stick with 32b.
Before I root and install custom ROM, can someone please share their experience with 32b model.
1. Is 192mb actually enough? fyi I want sense UI.
2. Will 32a device perform significantly faster than 32b?
3. A bit out of topic but is it true that I can flash most HTC Dream/G1 rom to my magic? Isn't there supposed to be different file for different phone?
Please help me make decision. Your opinion is highly appreciated =)
hey there. you can use it with cyanogenmod 6 rc2 (most recent) very well. runs faster than 1.6, which is istalled when you buy it. most g1 roms run smooth on magic, otherwise the developer mentions problems
the 32b won't be any slower, but it will faster beginn to kill unused apps in the background. with swap and compcache you will propably won't register any difference between 32a and 32b.
Thanks for your reply, that's very helpful.
Just to make sure, when you say most g1 ROM is compatible with Magic, does it mean that the same ROM will run on both magic 32a and 32b?
Because when I see Magic ROM thread, most of them are specific to only 32a or 32b, or when they support both model they will provide separate file.
There are some G1 rom that doesn't say if they are compatible to magic, so im not sure if I can use it for 32b.
I've already rooted the phone using Cyanogen's wiki. Here's my phone info from fastboot:

Couple things I'm not clear on:
1. The whole 32A/32B thing. For example, I have a 32A, but I can only flash 32B roms. Flashing a 32A rom makes it hang on black screen after the HTC Magic logo.
2. I've read that the MyTouch 1.2 and Fenders are all 32A. I've also read that for the phone to work properly, the stock SPL and radio have to be used. If that's the case, how are people running the 32A ROMs in the development section that require different SPLs and radios?
I guess what I'm trying to figure out is how to flash a 32A ROM on my MT3G 1.2 phone if they require non-stock SPL/radio and when I'm reading that I can't use anything but stock versions.
I'm probably mixing up old and new info, but I'm really confused. Flashing my Nexus One is so much easier
you got it mostly right.
The mytouch 1.2/Fender is a hybrid magic. It has the mainboard of the 32a (with 288mb RAM), but the radio of the MT3G 32b/G1, a new touch screen driver, and the 3.5mm audio jack.
So, really, someone named Zinx was able to make kernel patches to make it work. These patches were applied the CM 32b kernel. So any rom based on CM5.0.7test 2 kernel or higher has the needed drivers to work with the 1.2/fender le.
the true HTC magic 32a has a different radio. This is why the dev section is mostly of 32a with old radio/new radio ROMs. the 32b phones are just G1 with out the keyboards...
Basically you need to find ROMs that have been "ported" to run on the 1.2. I can recommend Cyanogenmod 5.0.8-DS. As it works really well. Make sure you look for the DS (dream/sapphire) one.

So that means I'll never be able to run a 32A ROM on this phone, which means I'll never have my full 288MB RAM available?
Thanks for the replies! It's starting to make more sense to me. And here I thought I was going crazy
Currently I'm running jojotm's Minimou with pershoot's updated kernel and it works very well. It's faster than I expected it to be which is just fine for my wife. I have a Nexus One for my needs
No, the kernal or a ported ROM will let you use the full RAM.

Ok so I purchased a MT3G 1.2 (3.5mm headphone jack) today and was excited because i had no idea it came as a 32a pvt board. I come from G1 and so used to being at a 32b board and being able to use those roms and some mytouch because there the same boards. Now my question is this. Is the hero a 32a pvt board as well? And if it is can you essentially go into the hero section and download roms? i would think not but you guys know more in here. not a newbie to flashing roms just new to mt3g. any help is appreciated thank you. Going to start getting this phone rooted =) and doing some research
