getting a mytouch, few questions. root/board/sense/2.0 related

so i'm ditching my G1 because it barely works anymore. apparently theres something wrong with the motherboard and thats why any rom i install fails after a week and makes the phone unusable (even cranogen's rom died on my phone)
anyway i'm hoping to have better luck with the mytouch and with researching lately i've seen all this stuff about the 32a and 32b
As far as rooting goes, to my understanding, i just use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556200
Then toss whatever rom i want on the SD and i'm pretty much good. That right?
From my understanding, the 32B is the T-mobile mytouch and is exactly the same as the g1. which dosn't make me too happy. But if this is true, does it have anymore space for apps or is it the same 70MB bull****?
second question. I love the hero/sense ui and i'd love to use it on the myTouch. So i know the question people hate to hear but if without having to read through hundereds of post i'd like to know which one is the most stable and has the most space for apps. By stable, i mean i can install it and use it for 2-3 months with daily use. And i have about 100Mb of apps on my G1 so i'm looking for a rom with a lot of space.
And last question, If i want to unroot and go to the official 2.0 software when it comes out (doubtful, but i may) are there any guides to go about unrooting, searched but couldn't find anything that was very clear.
Thanks in advance. now if only the phone would hurry up and get here so i can stop using my g1 that has to reboot every 3 hours.

The myTouch has more space for apps, over 100MB, but I don't exactly remember how much. I've had the phone for a week now and it's definitely better than the G1, performance wise.

if you are running cyanogen on your mytouch, you have about 290MB to download apps. Try running Qtek's Hero v1.8, just make sure that you have your three partitions. If you want to upgrade to Eclair (2.0) if and when it comes out, I suggest you wait until a rooted version of the ROM is released because if you just upgrade, you will be without your Superuser access and you will just have to root your phone all over again. But I have had the mytouch since it first came out and I had the G1 before then. It definitely blows the G1 out of the water in terms of performance in my opinion. Though I still use apps2sd, the extra memory was very handy before the phone was able to be rooted. I had about 100 apps on there and I still had plenty of memory left.

thanks for the replies. the 290mb is amazing. I'll probably be running one of the hero roms, and thanks for giving me a recomendation. I just love the sense UI so much.
Glad to hear about the boost in performance as well.
So i take it that the rooting process is just like i said since no one mentioned that. Really looking forward to getting this phone and finally ditching the G1

How to un-root a tmobile MT3G in about 4 minutes. I followed this and it worked perfectly.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-unroot-your-mytouch-3g/

thank you for that. got it bookmarked now. hopefully getting the phone today. can't wait to get started on it. looks like this will be a much better experience than the g1.

The Post here has a full guide of Rooting/Unrooting and links to a guide for Goldcards. There is another guide for rooting without goldcards but it doesnt show how to unroot or return everything back to stock. Hope this helps.

Quick tip from a Magic user:
Don't update your phone (which will probably come with Cupcake 1.5 as stock) to Donut 1.6 using OTA, if it asks you to. Rooting Donut is a much lengthier process than rooting Cupcake, especially as you're wanting to run a Hero/SenseUI rom.
As you seemed to be hyped about memory, evil D:'s nano SenseUI is apparently a v lightweight version.

I got it used from craigs list so the guy had already updated it to 1.6.
And i saw your posts in the one-touch-root topic. any chance you can explain to me how to get it to work on 1.6?
and thanks for the recommendation for the hero rom.

Relentless Rooter didn't work for me, I used it to access fastboot and then flashed to an Engineering SPL.
As far as I know, an Engineering SPL will let you flash to any ROM using the fastboot > recovery > update.zip method as Engineering SPL allows you to use fastboot with the android sdk.
I'm not really qualified to explain to you 100% what to do, but I did this:

You would just cange the official ION rom with a senseUI rom, i think.

What gives? 32A/32B?

I have a mytouch 3G. When I bought the phone it was, from factory, a 32B. I see in the Dev section that development is for 32A only in the Sapphire(MT3G) section. Do I just need to pretend like this is a Dream and use Dream ROMS? And Why?

Most Dream ROMs will work on 32B, so yes - pretend it's a dream. But this section is for 32B as well as 32A.
The difference between the 32A and 32B is the motherboard. 32B have the same motherboard as dream, with less RAM than 32A.

I have 288MB of memory on this 32B phone. From what I have read, this is the amount of memory on the 32A device. Im guess Im just confused here. If I have the memory of a 32A device, why is my hardware of 32B?

Unless someone's flashed a 32B radio on this phone (and that is not the case as you said you'd bought it new), that is not possible. May I ask where you got this information from?

When I bought the phone new from tmobile, the sales person was going through some things on how to use it and how to change things. From there he showed me the where the SD Card and phone memory was located to see what was remaining and how much was used. It said for available memory, as it does now, 272MB Available internal phone storage. I assume that the factory software is taking up some space. Also this is a 32B from the day out of the box. I have done my research here before and after my purchase. I sought out all the info and how to find it on the phone before I did anything.

It must be the newer Tmobile phones (read the thread "who feel jipped"). I believe it is a hybrid (a 32A motherboard with 32B software). Be careful if you decide to root this phone because of their unique SPL and radio. You can find threads on the developer's forum for the fender, which I think is the same thing.

I think this is the internal Flash memory used to store the operating system and other software. This is different from the RAM that has been reduced in the 32B version.

I have had the phone for 6+ months. I have already rooted the phone and recently went back to stock due to the fact the Dream ROMS seem slower than stock and the Sapphire ROMS are 32A ONLY. Kind of a waste for me. Others may benifit but will re-root the phone when some seriously engineered ROMS come available. With the stock setup, Im able to tether and get multiple screens and advanced launchers so I really dont know what the piont is anymore for rooting other than running a different ROM, which IMHO, every one cooked has some sort of glitch or something not working. I give props to all that create, mimic, customize and claim their own but it seems no one can cook one that is 100% working and fast, regardless of claims. Everyone is different and those creating ROMS test them on their own device, then says it is stable. This may be true for them but for others, may not. We will see what comes up.
Edit: Come to think of it... I got the phone about a month after the release date. Had to look at my reciept. Sorry.

Okay you don't understand let me point it out;
32A
-288MB RAM
-512MB ROM
32B
-192MB RAM
-512MB ROM
The internal storage is the same on both phones.

That is the ROM. You must have some apps installed. to check your board type go into fastboot.

Fastboot will not tell you the ROM or RAM Amount.

It has already been said that what you see in the settings is not the free RAM but the free ROM. Actually it is the free space on the data partition and on the myTouch 3G its size is 302848K (~296mb - I don't have one to check but have just come across this page).
If you want to know how much RAM your phone has, you can run "free" or "cat /proc/meminfo" in a shell or install an app from the Market like "Free Memory" which does just that. Both methods will only show you the total available memory though (as some of it is "system reserved").
I really don't understand the problem here. You have a myTouch 3G and fastboot confirms it's a 32B so why wouldn't it be one?

There is no problem really. Im just following along with the conversation. But as to my first post here, Why is it that "Sapphire" has both 32A and B boards but in the Sapphire forums, 32A is the one being developed and leaving us rare ones to load a Dream ROM on the MyTouch (Sapphire). No problem, just a question really. Verstehen Sie?

Because that is how HTC developed the items. In reality, the body is the same but the internals are kind of different. Who knows why? HTC wanted to provide a cheaper product to some of the mobile phone companies, I bet.
I think one of the reasons why 32A may be talked a bit more here is because, as you pointed out, a lot of the development for the Dream also applies to the 32B. So, in reality the 32B has more custom Roms to choose from.
I actually feel that 32A development lacks behind 32B.

not according to the sapphire "MT3G" magic development thread in the last few months. its all 32a. which leaves people like zeroplace and myself having to flash roms developed for g1. which isnt a real issue its the whole a2sd thing really because i find that it REALLY boggs down the device and is useless for MT3G knowing that its has FAR more memory. on that note i had seen a thread on alldroid i think it was from eugene about being able to flash 32a radio on 32b boards. however the link was no longer there which sucks cause im really tired of g1 stuff and need sense so cant go back to "stock" just to blah

Both of the HTC Magic's i have recieved from Vodafone have the 288mb memory inside.
Also tried rooting one of them, changed SPL and loaded Recovery RA and it wouldn't load ANY roms i installed, would just sit on the splash screen for hours.

Mine says 192M (I have read it in /proc/meminfo) and it is 32A in the fastboot screen. Is this the hybrid version? It should be T-Mobile myTouch 3G with the 3.5mm stereo jack.

Jachero ROM?

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?

MT3G 1.2 Senseui help...

I have used the search ahead of time, and was unable to find anything that explained what I was looking for, beyond a redirection, which I was unable to follow, so I did my best.
I am familiar with flashing, since I started with my Kaiser a few years ago, so I'm not null, but I do like to have a reliable bit of help to make sure I get it right the first time.
Now for my question. I really enjoy Senseui, and would love to have it on my MyTouch 3G 1.2 which is rooted, currently running the stock Fender ROM, and pretty much the same as the day I bought it. I've noticed there are a few ROMs in the Sapphire section that have sense, but require the 1.76 SPL and the 6.35.x.x radio.
When I look into flashing those, I continually find that my phone (MT3G 1.2) either can't or won't accept these requirements. The closest to a solution I've been able to track down mentions using a Hero recovery. I've exhausted myself trying to figure this out, I constantly search for updated ROMs, and any possible updates that would make my day, but I'm not seeing it happening, so I'm coming to you all for some help.
If you know how to get a Senseui ROM on to a MT3G 1.2, and can explain it, redirect me to a thread I couldn't find, or some other form of helping me out, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Again, my apologies if this is an unnecessary post, but I have used the search button, several times.
Here's my phone info, as it stands now...
Sapphire PVT 32A Ship S-ON G
Hboot-1.33.0013 (Sapp31000)
CPLD-13
Radio-2.22.23.02

I personally don't think flashing a new Radio or Recovery if you don't know if it works isn't worth the risk. However, there are two Sense UI ROMs compatible with the Mytouch 1.2 located here and here. It's disappointment that there are only 2 Sense UI ROMS, I wish there were more.

Yeah that..
Not quite Sense UI
But Try CM6R2 with the Vatsense theme+Fancy Widget or if you want weather animation Beautiful widget+beautiful live.. He has the stuff to make Launcher pro look like Rosie, but ADW now has a Rosie theme in the market(Slide sense)

Someone please explain to me why SenseUI is so special on a device that it is not specifically designed for it? Really. You won't have bluetooth and in some cases, camcorder, wifi, gps, etc. If you want a stable device use a rom without SenseUI.
But if you insist just use one for the G1.
I haven't even bothered to port anymore over because I got so tired of the private messages asking me how to get bluetooth working, how to make it faster and how to install it. I'm not going to lie... I enjoyed getting $25 in donations but it just wasn't worth it so I gave it up.

the only thing i like about Sense is the flipclock+fullscreen weather animations(i used CR_slide for a day and never got around to trying your port between superD and CM5)
If I understood Java and all the Android programing i would start porting roms over to the MT3G 1.2 but i seriously cant even successfully make a ADW theme in Eclipse

And you realize that there are apps that do that instead of having to have the full rom installed, right?

Okay, thank you all very much for the quick and thorough answers. I guess the reason I like the interface so much is because a lot of my friends have EVO's now, so I kinda grew used to seeing that, and I like how simple/clean it all is, and I was hopeful it would translate to being equally nice and useful on my little screen. Sigh, guess I'll just wait till T-MO gets some better phones, and hopefully that's only as far away as September, but I'm not holding my breath.
On a side note, I think that's my biggest upset with T-MO too, their Android support is quite lame. All the other carriers are rushing to get froyo to their users devices, and all we get is 'soon' over, and over, and over...
Anyhow, thanks again guys!

Yeah i listed the app i know of that does the animations *beautiful live*
As for sense ui on your 1.2 dude just wait the mytouch is upposed to get official froyo and possibly their version of sense *slide rom*
It might be worth the wait if you want

I really hope that we get a mytouch slide/ sence ui update but I honestly doubt that they would even bother with going through all the work to debug it for our phones.
So I know that this is completely off topic but is there any way that we could do this to our 32a 1.2s? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=580486
I know the answer probablly is no because someone besides me would of figured out if it worked by now but I guess it never hurts to ask.

[ROM Q] What is the latest or best (in your opinion) MIUI Rom for the EVO?

Just as the Title asks. I've looked but some threads are really old. So what do you guys think?
Also, what is THIS lock screen!? It's awesome and I love it!!!!!
Thanks in advanced guys and gals!!! Another thing i was looking for was those backgrounds with those sexy girls wearing headphones and it looks all artsy and ****. cant find the plain backgrounds anywhere....

Well the most important thing to know: a new build gets released every Friday form the Chinese team, then a English team ports it to EVO usually over the weekend for a weekend release. So every week there's a new build.
Latest _English_Port_ is 1.14 ... but 1.21 just got released today (revs are by date) BUT the Chinese team found a bug and is supposed to be releasing a patch tomorrow. The MIUI team responsible for porting the weekly builds apparently already ported the 1.21 but isn't posting it as a official build yet as they are waiting to see what the original dev team is releasing as a patch first.
I would say the current 1.14 is easily the most stable build, the new 1.21 coming out has some UI changes, so it could actually introduce bugs, but only time will tell. Honestly though MIUI has come a long long way.

I really like MIUI rom but not having multitouch on the gingerbread keyboard kills it for me. Hopefully they can get it working soon.

This 1.7 seemed to run the best for me with the included kernel 1.14 had a lot of reboots. I loved the UI and the built in extras like the traffic monitor and the blacklist options but found it too unstable for me. I went to evervolv 2.3a15 and love it so far. Gps doesnt track as well as miui but its an apples oranges comparison. Basically if you can get a stable daily driver miui going on your evo then enjoy olit. The thread in the general section has a lot of believers for sure.

so far 1.14 has been the most stable for me, but myself and many others have been experiencing a problem where whoever we are talking to hears an echo of their voice. The devs are gonna try to work that out for the next build which should be awesome. I'd wait till the final of 1.21 is released.

Okay, so after looking over MIUI and the themes and lockscreen mods I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY RREEAALLLLYY WANT IT!!!!!
But...there's just one problem...
After looking over the directions, and the HBOOT S-OFF thing, nothing seems certain. So many different sites and threads say that some this way doesn't work, this way breaks your 4G, and I can not for the life of my find out how to simply just get MIUI on my flipping Evo! To be honest, from everything I've looked up so far it looks like a ****ing death trap. No joke.
And whats up with partial English? From what I've seen things look like they're in English. How much is still in Chinese?
Is there anyone out there that can show me (or tell me) a very direct way and not an "iffy" way of flashing MIUI. I have Clockwork and I don't know how to check to see if I have S-OFF. I got my Evo 4G the day it came out, so does that mean the way I rooted it back then turned S-OFF for me?
I thought S-OFF was only for people who got the new OTAs and couldn't root their Evos.
I'm sorry but MIUI ust confused the HELL out of me and I'm so willing to take a leap of faith because I want it so bad, but bricking or messing up my Evo ust isnt worth it. Help anyone?

My whole ROM is in english. I'm using the current stable release and it's the best ROM I've used after UD.
The one thing I noticed is that my 3G speeds seem to be slower. I'm on wifi a lot so it isn't too big if a deal but still annoying.

Well, if you have flashed a custom recovery(Clockwork), then I think you must have s-off. The easiest way to check your s-off status is to turn your phone off, then reboot by holding down power+volume-down. The phone will boot into the h-boot screen. At the top will be several pieces of info including your s-off or s-on status. Make sure you do not have any custom roms or other .zip files in the main directory on your sd card before you do this as the hboot will try to flash it when it detects it.
The very first post in the general forum has a lot of really good info as well. Another excellent helpful resource is the IRC channel for the Evo. The link is in the post.
S-off just means security off, by the way. You can't flash custom roms or other stuff until you have s-off.

My whole ROM is in english. I'm using the current stable release and it's the best ROM I've used after UD.
The one thing I noticed is that my 3G speeds seem to be slower. I'm on wifi a lot so it isn't too big if a deal but still annoying.

Really?! All English!!?? Can you please send me a link to the ROM you're using. I think I saw at least three different MIUI threads in the ROM section and I don't know which one to choose. Link would be amazing!

Wow. That cleared up quite a bit! I'm pretty sure I have a few custom ROMs in the main directory of my SD but when I flashed HBOOT it didn't automatically do/flash anything. I checked and I had S-OFF, I guess it was obvious.
So MIUIs flash ust lke any other ROM...?

comment to ur comment earlier- the most up-to-date "stable" rom is always going to be the that they have stickied.

yes they just flash like a normal rom. But since they do release an update almost weekly, it would be hard to do a complete wipe everytime and titatium back up everything. so miui already has a Miui Backup program in it that will make changing to the next release go smoothly without much of a hassle.

I flashed the MIUI ROM last night and my phone rebooted on its own like a handful of times when I was sleeping. I kept hearing the vibrate sound and seeing the white "HTC EVO 4G" screen like when you first turn on the phone. NOT happy!!

I had the same thing happen to me I love the rom but that's why I went back to my warm rom

Make sure in WiFi setting you have it set to never sleep while on Wifi and your reboots should go away.

Virus for the win but yea miui is awsome but I just can't get away from sense

I really want to try MIUI, but without 4g, its a deal beaker, looking forward to it though.
