I have a Hero but im thinking of changing to a Magic because theres so little developers for the Hero and i'd like to run android without rosie.
Would you recommend me to keep the hero or not? And why?
I thought they were pretty much the same just the magic looks better than the big chin hero
trade
ill trade ya my magic for the hero lol

I have a Magic but the Sprint Hero looks like the Magic.. switching phones from one to another serves no purpose as the Magic can run Hero ROM's with no problems... as is evident by my Youtube video

Hmm the design is quite difference IMHO. The hardware on the other hand is the same except for the camera which is 5mp on the hero. But i don't think he is reffering to the Sprint Hero
If you end up trading make sure you get the 32A Magic in case you ever do want to run Rosie again. The 32B needs all sort of memory hacks to get it working and even then it's not the best (in my humble opinion).
Dont change it....
At least its confirmed that Hero willl get Android 2.0....

If the Hero gets it i can't see why the Magic 32a wont get it as well, at least im sure that the xda developers will cook it for us as soon as it comes to the Hero

Looking at the HTC site it looks like the Magic and Hero are nearly identical, save the camera and headphone socket

I hope this won't affect my HTC Sense experience too much
i was wondering if we get multi touch on our magic's now that hero has it? :/
It is android OS that is not allowing multi touch... AFAIK the Magic also has multi touch...
Apparently the magic and dream will get the new cool interface that hero has to offer and also flash will be available on magic in the not distant future

I actually think the Hero looks great! It stands a bit out, compared to others....and the vid's around looks good. Guess this will be my next HTC (a nice upgrade from my current Cruise)
The multitouch is only a software limit on the Magic. I've installed the Hero rom and the browser got the multitouch... with it's speed limit of course... flash also is there... don't know if Adobe will make this build available on its site so one can install it on other Magic roms...

His Hero ROM ports for 32B are pretty fantastic. They are fast, well put together, somewhat optimized, and is quite feature-rich.
Just remember, your phone will never be as fast as mine. I mean, at least if you're running a HERO port on your MyTouch.
I have Mytouch 32B, tried two Hero ROMs
1. QTek Hero ROM (Magic, MyTouch, 32B)
2. ZeroXd Hero ROM (Magic, MyTouch, 32B)
I had problem with both, screen gets fuzzy once phone sleeps. I did some research saw a lot of people having same problem with MyTouch coz of lower RAM then Magic or release date or whatever....
So is there a hero app i can use with out having this problem. I like the exchange total sync in that plus keyboard plus all the bling bling. Right now am using CyanogenMod vers. 4.0.4 with a black hero theme on it, speed is great but wanna play with hero ROM. Please suggest.
Thanks

Try out evil's hero rom...i didn't get the BSOD (blurry screen of death) with that rom but on Dizzy/haykuro I did!
ive tried every hero rom and im sad to say im not happy with them but what can you do when the phones not built to run something like that... it just drives me nuts that every time i press the home key it goes to that htc loading screen for at least a minute
im using zeroxd's new hero rom now which is the only hero that seems to let me get calls... on any other one when someone calls me it takes the trackball blinks but it takes so long to load the screen i cant see whos calling me but i am happy to say from trying just about every rom i have not felt the bsod... yet
OK i have 1 question,which ROM for MYTOUCH 32B doesnt have an issue LOADING HOME SCREEN everytime i exit from WEB BROWSER or some APPS? im sick off it.pls help me
Trust me.
Flash JAC's latest.
You won't be disappointed. All of the HERO ROM developers work closely. You'd be surprised on how often the find one another working on another project that couldn't really be considered their own.
Every JAC ROM I've flashed to my G1 and MyTouch - has been flawless. Great experiences with each build thus far. Haykuro and Drizzy, now that's another story.
Just wondered what peoples opinions were. I know it's a bit outdated hardware wise but it sounds decent enough for most things.
Does 2.1 run well enough? My understanding is that 2.1 ROMs support all h/w. Does Gallery3D run well enough? Seems like the only thing in Cyan's 5 series ROMs that I'd want to push back in. FYI I'm talking about AOSP ROMs, none of that Sense UI crap.
Is rooting still as easy FlashRec? I'll be buying a UK 32B Magic, probably a vodafone device, debranded if I can find one though.
I just got mine. Had to root with goldcard, but still pretty easy. I can't say enough good stuff about it. I'm using a 2.1 rom and everything seems to work well.
First get a 32a...
The magic is outdated already and getting a 32b is just making it worse... The only good thing about 32b is that it can run G1 roms
Second Cyanogens 2.1 ROM runs fine on Magic
T-Mobile also reported that Magic will get either an official 2.1/2.2 Android update.. This is only for the MyTouch though, but developers here will probably make it run better on 32a...

The goldcard is for flashing to a previous build which can be comprimised by FlashRec, correct?
Goldcard shouldn't be too hard, I'm just worried about flashing SPLs, almost shat myself flashing 1.33.2005 to my G1 >.<

The 32A isn't sold in the UK, only 32B by Vodafone, and for what it would cost me to import one I could by a Nexus :'(
I'd really like to use Cyan's ROMs too, my G1 was always flashed to his latest ROM
Has anyone tried Gallery 3D on theirs? It's the only part of stock 1.6/2.1 I really can't stand...

My question is can we get a build for the hd2? Or are there still more things needed?
Could someone please explain to me why every time any phone with Android is released, that there are drones of people demanding developers who've put hours and hours on end of their own personal time into programming fixing and tweaking the current HD2 Android builds for no personal gain whatsoever, to devote more time and energy porting over a build that has almost no change in OS whatsoever?
I'd understand if a new phone came out with Android 2.3 or something, but all the phones being released lately aren't that much different from each other....
In the OP's defense he didn't demand anything he simply asked if it was possible and what it would take.. but your right about all the new phones OS being pretty similar.. that being said there is almost always something new in the OS when tmo drops a new android phone.. new mytouch is supposed to have a uma similar feature.. I guess we will see.

Okay then, in that case, I'd be interested in a port.
A large majority of people both in Europe and United States use T-Mobile.
What are the benefits?
TMOBILE DID A GREAT JOB WITH THE MYTOUCH SLIDE UI "ESPRESSO" BUT ITS RUNNING ANDROID 2.1. AND THE FUNNY THING IS THAT, THE UI ON THE MYTOUCH SLIDE HAD SKINS, LANDSCAPE SENSE, AND MULTITASKING IN THE NOTIFICATIONS WAY BEFORE THE "DESIRE HD" AND "DESIRE Z".
ALOT OF GOODIES IN THE PREVIOUS MYTOUCH (CAN APPLY LOCK WALLPAPER DIFFERENT FROM HOME WALLPAPER, THEMES, LANDSCAPE SENSE, MY FAVES GALLERY, MODE SWITCH BASE ON TIME OR LOCATION, GENIUS APP, APP PACK AND MORE). SO I AM VERY INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT THIS 2.2 VERSION OF THE MYTOUCH ROM PACKS

"similar" but not identical. For example, the processor (QSD8250 vs MSM8255) is different... Chipset might be different. radio manufacturer might be different, camera drivers mightbe different, etc etc etc.
But hey, they managed to plug in Desire Z and HD ROMs... Who knows!
If you can really use it
as UMA - that would be lovely.. the signal at my house sux and i need uma for android. That is the main reason that i want this..if possible ofcourse

Anyone got a mirror?
I'm actually extremely interested to see this get ported to the HD2. As a T-Mobile USA customer, I think that this ROM would more than likely get me exactly where I wanna be with this phone...
Hope someone decides to pick up on this... If not, oh well...

Completely agree... Whoever initiates this type of request should actually donate some money first, recommend others to do the same and then get someone interested to make a build if they want it... that way, build maker makes some $$$ and everyone is happy... even grannies don't give it for free...
Hey guys I just found out about this european version of the htc aria coming soon and running froyo sooo I guess we can get a port over to the slide when a leaked rom is found... right? check it out is suposed to come out in november but the leaks always come out sooner xD so maybe we will finally see a froyo sense rom for the slide by next month or christmas

From looking over the specs it would have similar issue as the myTouch HD ROM, only in the other direction... it has a lower resolution than we do.

Yeah I was suffering from a momentary case of cranial flatulance on the resolution. For some reason I saw 320x480 and was thinking QVGA not HVGA. So yeah in theory other than adding the coding for the hard keyboard it "should" be fairly easy. Maybe Ace or Miquel could take a peak and let us rookies know. I can flash like a champ and help out with some minor issues/questions but am mostly code-tarded

This rom would be portable, I never heard of that phone, but I'll look it up for some info... Kb support can be done, has been done 100's times on G1+sense roms.
Well, this probably means that an official Froyo release for the Aria is close too. One thing that kind of concerns me is that I have seen more than one web site state that the Gratia will not run the "new Sense UI". I am still within the 30 day return window on my Aria, I got it because a) I did not want to be like 90% of the people around me with a iPhone 3GS or 4 b) it is small, I absolutely despite the size of the Galaxy S. However, if this is already incapable of running today's OS I will likely return it and grudgingly get an iPhone 4. Unfortunately I am stuck on AT&T on account of my wife and daughter being iPhone drones.
I wouldn't worry too much about it not running the new Sense. a) You haven't used it, so you don't even know if you'll like the changes. b) A ROM is sure to surface. c) I didn't think I'd like a ROM without sense, but now find myself really liking the vanilla Android experience.
So if you like the phone, I wouldn't return it based on what it's officially not getting. The wonderful thing is that there are options.
I did it. Still has some bugs though, but I'm loving it GratiousSlide in the dev section.

Has anyone ever been able to find a Froyo dump of that HTC Gratia ? I'm looking for it, but I can't find anything even here on XDA :-(.
EDIT: I should have searched better. LOL. Just found some traces of a rom based off a Gratia stock rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819715. Thx.
There are plenty...
Here is one that is the latest Asian Gratia froyo leak one I could find: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062149&highlight=football but still running FRF91 2.2.1
Here is one that has FRG83G (2.2.2) but it is AT&T branded and you will have to change a few lines in the .xml files to enabled "unknown apps" install. http://dl3.htc.com/application/sync/htc_sync_3.0.5617_us.exe
