32a/b dream/mt3g.... - G1 General

so I have been looking around at mt3g roms and noticed that there is a 32b and 32a version. From what I have been told all mt3g's were 32a.
so my question is what is the difference between mt3g 32b and dream 32b?

no, all MT3G's are 32B. it is because their PVT board is different. Magics are 32A and have more ram, while MT3G's are 32B and have a little less ram

oshizzle's correct. And to further elaborate on your question "the differences between mt3g 32b and dream 32b", the mytouch has 512 megs of ROM while the dream has 256 megs of ROM (storage space, not to be confused with RAM).

Erm ... that's not correct ... for example HTC Magics in the UK use 32B boards ... but they are called HTC Magic on Vodafone, not MT3G.
AFAIK The correct way to tell is from the branding on the battery cover, the Google branded phones "with Google" are all 32B. HTC Branded phones are 32A.

not trying to be rude, but didn't you just contradict yourself when you said this?

I don't think you explained yourself very well. It might confuse some people.

either way, i think we have either totally confused the OP, or fried his brain by how knowledgeable we all are haha

I see your point, I'll explain in a more concise way:
MyTouch3G does not exist in the UK. You can buy an HTC Magic here on Vodafone but it is a 32B board.
I hope the OP is not too confused!

all MyTouch 3G's are 32B. Some HTC Magics are also 32B in europe, depending on which one you get. The 32B version has 192mb RAM instead of 288MB RAM, and a slightly different processor.
I dont think there is a 32A or 32B dream.

Pls help me MAGIC

i got the MAGIC,think ab up rom to HERO rom,can u guys tell me,when i up to HERO rom,i can do 100% wat the ORIGINAL HTC HERO have?or it will miss something?thanks alot,waiting for ur reply.
yes, it has all the features, they just may not be working... you'll just have to be patient on that front...
the hero actually is not even compatible with 3g in the US, so technically once the ROMs are perfect, you'll have more features, but if you have a 32b version magic, then it'll be slower than the hero...
the magic 32a version and hero are basically the same minus the camera, so performance should be good if it is a 32a
How do i know if it is 32A or B?i have mytouch from US TMOBILE

Rooting a 3.5mm Mytouch 3G

I need help rooting my tmobile mytouch 3g 3.5mm.
I'm grabbing a 3.5mm mytouch as well. Is it a 32A or 32B board? Wonder if there's anything special we'll have to do to root it?
I'm having the same problems rooting this phone
I am awaiting too... No real benefit for us yet, I have a Fender edition 32a

Why is 32B so unpopular!?

I have a HTC Magic 32B and i've noticed that 80% of ROMS on xda are for the 32A variant. i just wanted to know what was the major factor making this model so unpopular with developers!? thanks
Go to the G1 section. Search more, qq less.
So your saying the 32B will flash G1 ROMs? that is great news. thanks!
They're just jealous that you have an entire bra size larger than them

Just make sure you flash something that says it's compatible with magic/mytouch, because magics use different h/w to the dream, so if you don't WiFi wont work, can't remember what else (bluetooth?).

among other things they have less RAM than the 32A.
If memory serves... 32A(288Mb) vs 32B(192Mb)

Yup, a third extra, but that makes them more expensive if you're buying from someone other than a carrier and 32s aren't available from carriers in all parts of the world.

well I have black Magic, sith SenseUI (not by Google, but by HTC, and not rooted) and it's 32A! According to all sys info apps you can find on the Market it has 192MB of user memory!

It probably refers to storage on the /data partition on the NAND (space available for installing apps), not RAM.
EDIT: I believe RAM is seperated in to two, x amount for the system to utilize and y amount for the Dalvik VM
No Magics that officially support Sense have less than 288MB RAM. The only device with less than 288mb and Sense UI is the HTC Tattoo (256mb).

By booting the SPL and seeing if you've got 32B or 32A?

well as I've wrote previously - my Magic is 32A, and I know that by booting in SPL ;-)
But I've asked you for a way to confirm memory size!
Here's what System Monitor app tells:
so, any more ideas how to cinfirm that 32A has 288MB??

"EDIT: I believe RAM is seperated in to two, x amount for the system to utilize and y amount for the Dalvik VM"
That app is showing either the RAM designated to the system (/kernel...?) or Dalvik VM, either way it doesn't matter, if it's 32A it has 288mb - end of.

I'm pretty sure he means system RAM, not storage memory for applications. The 32B (Mytouch 3G) has the gimped 192MB of system RAM, while the 32A (HTC Magic, Mytouch 1.2) has 288MB.

The rest of the RAM will never show up in any app as it's system reserved. If you had a 32B you'd see a value of approx. 100mb of RAM there, not 200mb like you do.

Anyone figure out the MyTouch 1.2 memory map yet?

Since the mytouch 1.2 runs 32B firmware, it can only use 192mb of its 288mb total RAM, right? But i heard that if one were to flash a 32A kernel, the ROM wouldnt boot, so im curious if anyone has made a specialized 32B kernel for the 1.2 that also used its full RAM? Thanks in advance .

How about that?
Wow, can't belive i missed that, will take a closer look when i get out of school, thanks!
EDIT: Great, looks like I'll have to learn how to build a Kernel....****. lol.

is this normal?

hey i have the MT3G from T-mobile with the 3.5 jack, i see a lot of you posting that yours is the 32b but mine is a 32a.

Jeez. Why does this question keep coming up?
It's a 32b with 32a memory. That's it.
EVERYTHING you need would be for 32b devices. If you use anything made 32a you may brick your device in the process.
