Hey guys, sorry if this turns out to be a topic that's been brutally repeated.
I've been lurking around here for a while, i've tried many roms and from all of them, found that SuperMagic (eugene373's) was quite possibly the fastest in my case. (Thank all the devs for their contributions, you're all amazing!)
Now though i love hero roms, i wanted to see if i could get a magic rom that had senseui, much like our distant 32a cousins.
I've been reading around and the only alternative i see at the moment is by QTeknology's 32b port over. (Which right now doesn't support wifi or bt, hoping that changes)
I'm currently running 1.6 cyan 4.2.5, because i can't get over the speed problems with hero roms.
I was wondering what my fellow mt3g users are doing as an alternative for not having a release from HTC for senseui?
did you fallow the exact specs that Eugene asked people to use like the swap partition and a class 6 sdcard an ext partition on the sdcard... you will most definitely not see a sense/hero ROM that is for the mytouch 3g tmobile phone cause we got screwed with the 32b board which a insignificant amount of ram that is needed for the sense ui to run fast I liked hero_over mt3gv.2 that was what I used to use but phone got stolen so I decided to try 1.6 out and liked it enough to leave it but I fallow the hero builds closely as I plan to switch back over some day
Yup, that's my Achilles' heel, i still have the stock SD card. Yeah. the 32a board having more memory makes the 32b seem like a jib.
I'm doing the same thing, waiting for something to come close. I did try Qtek's port, as i said earlier.
Quite possibly the fastest that i've ran into. If someone can get Wifi working with it, i'll settle for that build or one like it. I hope Someone gets it working!
you can always do hero. it's basically the same thing as senseui. qtek's is one of teh best and the only thing not working is bluetooth.
You sure about that? i flashed it yesterday and wifi wasn't working. it turns on but doesn't connect.

Are you talking about his senseui port, or the actual hero? His 1.8 hero cuz that is what I am running right now. I have wifi connected right now as well.
Oh! Different rom then, hehe. Come to think of it, i haven't tried his Hero rom. Only his port.
I should give it a try. I was getting ready to give it another try and play with the apn settings to see if that was the problem.
Edit: Qteknology Hero (WWE Dump) for G2 Magic-Voda 32B v1.8 Swap <-- This one, right?
Edit again: That was it, i'll give it a try, Thanks for hte heads up, Tazz.

yes. The apn's are not a problem with the wifi. you are going to have to add the apn so you can have your data with this rom, however. He doesn't have the apns set on this rom. So you should right it down if you do not know your apn settings. It'll save you some time.
I just took a look at his apn's conf on the hero rom, it's not in there, haha. I guess i'll just copy them there too. I assumed that they would be in there, but i guess they wouldn't be, this IS a vodafone rom, anyway. Thanks again for the heads up!
You can try Trojan final from Eugene, i havent tried many hero roms but im liking this one, its pretty fast and stable. I used overclockcpu and swapper in combo with it. It works like a charm. I do recommend putting the droid stock 32b over the original image as it will make it less woody and more hero.
anyone else experienced trojan final? im still waiting to hear wich one is fast, trojan or qtek . trojan does have everything working tho..
I've tried both, but on a very temporary basis. They're both pretty fast. But for some reason i still think supermagic was faster than both of them. i think it's probably because it doesn't have the default rosie. I dunno. They're both good, just not the kind of speed i'm looking for. when i pop settings or open the browser, i'd like something that's snappy.
Maybe i'm just too used to cyan mod at this point.
The only other senseui mod that was snappy was qtek's port for magic senseui. That's why i was really hoping wifi would work, but to no avail.

he has bluetooth working, but only if you flash over the 32A radio and recovery image. If people don't know their way around fastboot, they will brick there phone.
I can't even get fastboot to work lol. I'm thinking i have a driver issue. I boot into fastboot, says "fastboot usb" i tried to change the bootscreen menu, all it says when i try to flash over the first image is "waiting for device"
So i figured i wouldn't even mess with customer radios and different board radio/recoveries.
I don't even use BT, so i dont see a need to bother changing over to 32a setup.
Can someone PM me some 32b roms? or where you get them for Mytouch.
I wonder if i use the 32b to 32a radio method eugene has, if i would be able to flash 32a roms (32a rogers sense ui magic rom).

That wouldn't do anything for you. The advantage of 32A is that it has more RAM. 32A ROMs would run slowly on a 32b.
If i'm not mistaken, it requires less memory to run a 32a sense ui rom than a hero rom.
Correct me if i'm wrong.

even if thats true, i dont think either would run acceptably well on 32b. the mytouch came out over a year after the g1 yet tmobile didnt give it any more ram they just made it look different (and added rom but its not even worth mentioning). TMO just put the same turd in a different toilet, the mytouch just doesnt have the ram to handle any type of hero/sense ui.
Im really curious as to how much it costs tmobile to offer 192mb ram as opposed to the 288mb ram the magic has. They better have saved a hell of a lot of money.
Hey guys i finally rooted my phone after fightin it for about a good 4 5 hrs and i loaded up jachero rom on it the i have a couple of question about this rom because my apps are from the old version how do i get them to a newer version and second i was talkin on the phone and seems as if my phone volume has gone down since my friend could barely hear me on th other any1 know how to fix it any help is appreciated
Which Hero ROM are you talking about? Your phone model, etc? I suggest you put your phone details in your sig like most people
As for the ROM, I am going to assume it's for 32B model. They are outdated, and you should probably look for better hero ROMs if you wish to use them. Go to the G1 Development section (if you have 32B Magic, then you can use most ROMs made for G1 as well) and find some recent ones.
well yea i have a mt3g 32b it was set on factory 1.6 so i had to bring it to htc magic 1.5 and then put it up to mt3g 1.5 and then root the phone and so which is the most up to date and stable rom that i should get or which one would u recommend and also my signal strength is very low what should i do for that?
So I flash all the custom rom for mt4g, gorilla, evil, cy and notice the H change to 3G and sometime to E constantly, at first I thought it may be the coverage area. My friend has pure mt4g, never rooted, never flash, it is a stock rom. His is H while my Gorillia DHD said 3G, I decided to do a speed test, my friend mt4g was faster with H while my was much slower even though we sitting next to each other.
My question is why does the 3g switch back to h constantly? and when it switch back to 3g, it was slower too?
Where can I get pure stock rom from tmobile for the mt4g so I can test it against with my friend mt4g phone?
The stock tmobile ROM shows H for HSPA and HSPA+. while the custom ROMs show what you are actually getting.
Your phone is being honest, while his is lying about it makeing you think its HSPA+ all the time.

While you are correct, he also made it clear that speed tests indicated better performance out of stock. I have also experienced this issue, it is the primary reason why I don't use CM7. I'm in a pretty bad coverage area, and it seems that the stock rom does a better job of managing the shift between different networks. The best speeds I got were on CM7, but in a series the results were all over the place. In an applied situation, streamed video would constantly need to rebuffer with CM7, while my GF's stock would play it smooth. This wasn't a one time test, i did it 10-20 times in different areas all with the same result. I don't blame CM7 by any means, but I can't get it to be consistent so I can't use it. I'm new to android but i'm not new to hacking/flashing devices, this was the ONLY problem I couldn't resolve with CM7, everything else ran flawlessly.
My wife is still rocking tmo's stock ROM while I am using CM7RC1 ive personally never had performance issues that she passed with ease.
I cannot relate to what you are describing.

I see the custom Tom are more honest but the speed issues still are not explain, tmo stock get better speed but performance is crap compare to cm7, I try to restore back to stock so I can speed test but have no luck yet does anyone have the stock tmo so I can install through rom manager?

Have you tried running the Iced Glacier rom? The one you're using now won't even load on my phone, and I have the MT4G, been running the Iced Glacier rom for a while now without seeing that issue...

actually I did and I do see it happen too, but it is rare, I have yet to speed test the ice glacier vs pure glacier from tmobile

Could be a problem with your device. I ran Iced Glacier for about a month, never had that problem. Also I'm running evil's 4g-HD now and haven't ran into that issue. Will run a speed test a get back at ya.

If you want to unroot click the link in my sig for pd15img.zip. Put it on the root of your sdcard, rename to pd15img.zip and boot into the bootloader and follow the prompts.
Hate to Necro, but...
This seems to still be true. Does every single MT4GS with a custom ROM do this or is it just me?

Why are people posting in the myTouch 4G when they have a myTouch 4G SLIDE section? Go over there and ask, we don't know anything about the MT4GS.
Wow.

Hi there I hav recently purchase hd2 I just want to know whether all the band roms support tmous hd2 ?
Which is the fastest and less battery hog rom for hd2
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
i also use Tmo and have tried tons of other roms but the best ones as far as day to day use has been the roms made by Motoman,... currently i have using his Glacier rom < aka MyTouch 4G rom> and its amazing. great battery life and fast connection without any data drops. he also comes out with updates pretty regularly.

Look at my signature
Really stable build
I use Phiremod SkinnyEvo on my TMobile HD2 and could not be happier with it. No lock ups or "sleep of death". I have used this version for a while. I am currently going on 14 days straight days without having to do a phone reset with this build,all I do is keep the battery charged up. Prior to this reset I got 28 straight days of use without a reset and then only had to restart because my 4 year old daughter pulled the back cover and battery while she was playing the bird/pig game. This build is rock solid stable.
can i install miui and other rom to my tmobile hd2 or there are only specific roms that can be install on tmous version
My wife's switching to t mobile and she wants my hd2. I was thinking about giving it to her and hgetting a my touch 4g. But I'm having a hard time deciding and wanted more opinions on what to pick. Can you give me which one you would choose and why? Which is actually the better device?
I would suggest that you keep the HD2 and invest in the MyTouch for your wife. The HD2 tends to be more complicated. I'm not sure if she's at all a tech geek, but if she's not, give her the MT.
Are you using the HD2 stock?

I'm running android nand. She really wants the hd2 but I want the better phone. Whichever is best Is the one I'm aimed at getting
honestly i know 2 people that have mytouch 4g and they botch have encounter the exact same problems....they will get txt messages in random...their phone will repetitively send the same sms.....i dunno i had the choice of getting it but i went to a hd7 and i actually traded it the very same week for a hd2 and let e tell u i have android nand and i love it over anyother phone i have ever gotten in the past....they say yeah but think about having 4g this n that well...firstly were in at i barely get 3g lol...and also who the heck am i going to video chat with lol i rarely use my mins lol guess if u love options of a phone that can do just about anything then keep the hd2
Why not get a sensation? Then you would feel better about giving up the HD2.
ive had both i had 3 hd2's and i own a mt4g now.... and honestly i miss my hd2 bigger screen has the end call hardware button .... i dunno tough call i mean if youd actually utilize the ff camera might be worth it and the mt4g has a rom called royal ginger with working streaming netflix and the mt4g can hold more apps if your into having a ton of apps on your phone. that being said if you dont use a ton of apps , wont use ff camera , dont have netflix id get another hd2 not to mention the mt4g my more difficult to root hd2 was effortless . hope this helps

i never had the random txt issue or the repetitive issue on either phones... just sayin maybe ur phones were effed up.
I would say stick with the hd2. I have plenty of family that has the mt4g and like cobrien said they also encounter those issues. I had pongsters hyperdroid on my hd2 for the past 3 months and not once has it given me an issue. I've pushed 3 days with little use and about a 15 hours of gaming and streaming netflix, this is better then most native android devices. If your looking to upgrade then go with the mytouch but i think for being an older phone the hd2 is still just as good as newer android devices.
Go for the sensation dude.
