Quickest visually applealing HERO rom w/flash - myTouch 3G, Magic General

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

So many to choose from!!

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.

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 =)

I like this talk. And I love RA's ION ROM.

New to Android, did the search, need suggestions

Hello!
I bought a MyTouch 3G and I'm shopping for a new ROM. There are so many and I'm truly confused. What is the best Sense UI for the 32B and is it really worth it?
This forum has always been a hard to use source of information, so I'm asking your help and I will write a guide in return
i prefer SENSEHERO. its the fastest, smoothest hero out there. the theme is pretty sick too. you already have root though right? fyi, a lot of good 32B hero roms are actually in the dream section, i frequently browse both! because on here, its more 32A orientated.
From my experience ROMs with Rosie are not that fast on pvt 32b board. Donut 1.6 is still faster and more stable to me. Although I like the Hero Sense UI contact application.
i agree, when i had a g1 I really liked rosie/sense at first, but no matter how hard the geniuses here try, the g1 just doesnt have the RAM for sense ui, period. And TMobile inexplicably gave the MyTouch the exact same amount of RAM as the g1, so i havent bothered trying sense i got a mytouch. even TMO's newest Android only has 200mb RAM, still not enough for sense and it even lags with stock Android.
Id like to know the business strategy of testing their customer's faith and patience like this

dream or sapphire?

just broke my phone, and now need to get either a dream or sapphire. but had some questions
dose the cam work on 2.0/ 2.0.1/droid or hero
dose the hero rom lag like it dose on the g1?
and when rooting do you have to use ADB because there is no keyboard?
thanks for any help on this.
Get a hero or droid
haha
just get a droid or a hero bro. Unless you're cool running cyan or some other 1.6-2.0 rom. Any hero on my mytouch hasnt proven to be a daily user. albeit im a novice at best, but if you're asking then i would assume you're no pro.
My two cents
there are several hero roms that are daily users here. The only problem is, it is not going to be as snappy as a modded-stock rom like Cyanogen. If you set your phone up right, there is no reason why most of these roms could not be daily users.
Qtek and Ttran001 have great 32B roms IMO that are great for daily use.
wouldnt say im a pro, just dont have the time anymore to keep up on everything, but i have been flashin roms on the g1 since the beginning. never got onto the sapphire boards, so just tryin to get some more info before i decide.
what i know is that the Sapphire has more ram than the g1 so that makes me wonder about the speed. I noticed that on some roms they dont use Swap when they are used with the 32a.
just wonderin more on what changes from one to another.
the 32B has the same ram as the G1. The 32A has the same ram as the Hero. That's why there is no need for the linux swap.
It all depends on the phone you are going to get. MyTouch and Google Ion, etc. are 32B. HTC Magic's are 32A.
ok well i guess the big question is dose the cam work on 2.0 roms?
im guessing that the cams are both the same but was looking at a 2.0 rom made for the sapphire only and it didnt say that it didnt work.
G1 or Sapphire
Is the sapphire as good as the dream as far as capabilities. I had a G1 and loved it but unfortunately i dropped it off a roof at work. I was pretty familiar with all the featres and was using a Cyan ROM. Is the sapphire as versatile as the Dream?
2.01 roms on saphire
I have been using manups 2.01 eclair rom on my saphire 32b for about a week now and have been quite surprised at the speed and funcitonality differences. Unfortunatly the camera does not work, but i am sure manup will fix this. But overall I am very happy with the saphire/mytouch.
i recommend the magic to you, it's just so much better looking than the dream. to help you with your rom questions: it's only a matter of time, til the first 2.0 oder 2.1 rom, which supports camera and all the other beautiful features, will be released. for now, i've been using "crusorsense"-rom (a sense-ui/"hero" rom) for about three weeks. it's the best rom i've ever seen! battery life and performance are even better than while using orignal rom.
There isn't any Android 2.0+ camera or bluetooth driver for the Sapphire yet. And we probably have to wait for a HTC update with those before any developers will make these work.
But why not get a NexusOne or a Droid instead ?

It depends what you expect from daily use ... I use bluetooth every day so it makes it impossible for me to use any hero roms.
As for Android 2.0 bluetooth is working and someone has the camera working in the dream development forum, they compiled their own driver using some of the 1.6 binary and a bit of guesswork and got it working, camcorder does not work yet but it won't be long before this makes its way to 2.0 roms (sapphire uses the same driver). The graphics acceleration still sucks though, making it jerky to swipe on launcher screens as well as anything else that uses gpu (which is what is stopping me from moving to a 2.0 rom)
I second what ronni.rasmussen said, why not get a Nexus One or Moto Droid? Or even an HTC Hero or Droid Eris. There are a lot of better handsets out now that leave the dream and sapphire a long way behind in terms of specs.
Btw sorry to be a nitpicking bastard but not all HTC Magic's are not 32A, it depends on where in the world you buy your phone and on what carrier. I have an HTC Magic and it is a 32B.

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.
