Hey guys. Been off the scene for a while.
Which are the fastest, most stable ROMs out there now? I know cyanogen, but now I see ROMs coming up with Donut + Hero, are there any good ones for 32A?

There is no such thing as "best rom" since we all have difference requirements for our mobile. Just find a rom there will cover your needs and decide what you think is best for yourself
Hi WaterMan
Welcome back.
I am currently torn between CaSense 1.1.1 and Magic GyD 2.1.1.
Both are excellent ROM's. I don't use Bluetooth so I usually flash the 2.6.29 kernel, which is faster than the 2.6.27 kernel.
Both are fast and equal in functionality, but for some reason the Magic GyD seems a little heavier on memory resources, but I have not experienced any problems with speed or lag on either of them.
And both ROM's are, in my opinon/experience, bugfree.
Hope this helps!
EDIT: These are of course Sense ROMs. Magic GyD also offer a nonSense ROM, but I have not tried it. I'm a Sense-addict.
Hi guys,
I was wondering if I could update the software (cupcake 1.5) of my HTC magic to the one on the HTC Hero. My girlfriend has it and she's always pushing me around because her's look more 'fancy'.
I looked it up on the net but couldn't find anything right away. I even checked youtube and I saw some people running the HTC hero rom (most likely another name but I'm new to this Android thing).
Thanks in advance, Skillandstyle!
There is donut roms for magic. Just check the dev section under magic.
i thought the htc magic had the official sense ui update?
MLIGN made a tut. about it on his website or you can root your phone and try out a hero rom.
Hi all,
I found this website :
http://android.smartphonefrance.inf...Android_2.2_Froyo_pour_HTC_Legend_en_approche
It says that froyo will be released next week for HTC Legend. So it means that we will have soon HTC Sense for our Hero Froyo roms ???
Thanks by advance

I was under the impression that the Villain team were already working on one, the htc gratia port? Even so, woo !
Froyo 2.2.1 for the HTC Magic has been released by Vodafone UK. Does this mean we may yet get it for the Hero?

I assume you are under the (false) impression that HTC Magic has sense in their official release....
(Am I wrong that it doesn't?!)

I realise this, I was mereley pointing out that support is still there from the carriers for older models with HTC. From a development point, this support can only help and assist developers in using the lates official drivers, frameworks etc.. to adapt and tweak.
actually htc magic will recieve 2.2.1 in the UK, just google it.. (offical from vodafone that is)
HTC Magic is just plain old vanilla Android.
Well , HTC Magic received and 2.1 Sense official rom , may be that will be the case again.
To quote the Vodafone post on it:
'... improved support for Active Sync Exchange (email, contacts and calendar sync)'
That to me says it is vanilla FroYo.
I agree that it does look like vanilla Froyo, but I was merely stating that it is good news that the Magic is still being supported and updated to newer firmware etc. This can only be good news to other handesets such as our Hero's. After all, any new firmware will only enable developers to get their hands on the latest drivers, frameworks etc...
I wonder what kernel version it is running?
Would be nice to one day salvage enough driver code to get .34 or beyond running on our phones!
Hmmm... Interesting, though not that likely to help in terms of drivers IMHO, given we've got CM properly compiling for hero.
Kernel sources, now that's another matter
Bet this will annoy stock hero users, that an older device will get 2.2 and they won't (officially). Time to head over to XDA for them perhaps?
All I will say is don't get your hopes up at a .34 kernel. It might, but bear in mind that gingerbread runs on .29 on the emulator, so it could be a .29 one again...
Y HTC Magic can get 2.2.1 update and Hero don't?

I assume because HTC Magic does not have Sense.
yeah, I think the vodafone htc magic never had sense (the unbranded ones got sense in the 1.6 and 2.1 versions)
isn't there a chance that you can port this camera driver to hero with Sense? I mean both phones had almost the same hardware..
also I heard from another forum that the 2.2.1 update for Magic has 2.6.32 kernel..
will that help?

None of this is new, the Magic has had a senseless 2.2 (I assume 2.2.1) update from TMO with a .32 kernel for quite some time now. For now, none have succeed porting its camera to the Sense 2.2 - even the magic Sense 2.2 ROM (which is based on the gratia and legend ports) has the exact same problems like we do.....
Hy,I search for a rom stable with android 2.3.3 and sense 2.1.
In the sea of rom in this forum I can't understand which is the best rom,stable and with the lowest battery drain.
someone can help me?
Hi,
The only one currently available is:
[25 APR][GRI40] imilka's Gingerbread Sense v0.5 [Des HD][Sense 2.1][K:raf1.9]
Well worth a try...
or check the list in my guide number 1
thanks I have a question: why no one work at this new rom with sense?? I remeber that some month ago there are a lot of roms for SD with sense,but for nand there is a few.
why all people work at CM7,and not at sense??

Hi,
Imilka has been working very hard at this ROM,and after weeks of effort has just released it today...
He is the first DEV to release a GB ROM with Sense and a working camera.
Why don't you try it and see?
