32A/B are versions of the g1 aka dream, not the hero, AFAIK...
Ok because I was looking on Alldroid.org and looking at the roms and was just trying to figure out about that, thanks though

be careful, many roms for the dream have "hero" in their names, as their are based on a hero rom. these won't work on the hero for sure. you can find all roms for the hero here and at modaco's, afaik (pretty sure though).

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

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
Meaning Theoretically things /roms applying for 32B should also work on the G1 ?

Exactly the same, except for the lack of physical keyboard on the G2.
Thanks!
This helps me because ive already read much 'bout saphire hacking but my brother is now going to get a G1
the mytouch also has more ROM so you can store more apps, so the need for apps2sd is irrelevant.

unless you like to put a ton of apps on your phone like me, I prefer apps2sd. I didn't use it at first and maxed out the stock ROM the first day I got the phone. and yea most of the g1 roms for the dream should work fine on the MT3G. the devs usually specify 32b compatible somewhere in the first post.
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...

I use 3D Gallery on my Mytouch 1.2 (which is a 32A device) and I've never had problems with it.
Hi, I want to root my HTC Hero 2.1, ive found lots of tutorials on the net, but all are marked with (Sprint). Is it any difference between HTC Hero (Normal/Original) and the sprint version?
Thanks

Yes, big difference. If your hero had a chin, use the guide at www.villainrom.co.uk under gsm htc hero, and then under rooting 2.1
