connect-utb has several of my donut and xrom images and files necessary to run android on the diamond. i'm not doing very much development these days. especially since i'm running my donut build from nand and can now flash yaffs2 images and have a full recovery screen with selectable menu items and usb tether so my laptop has a working internet connection when in android. also the moto droid or htc passion can wait a little bit longer.

HTC Magic official ROM update with Sense Released... Anything new?

Anyone have a friend or family member with a Magic?
I'd be curious to see if there's any new features that could potentially be ported to our Hero.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/29/htc-magics-sense-update-ready-for-download

Looks like they have a pull port of Eclair as well. I bet we could steal their sense for our AOSP builds, problem with that IMHO: Most of the people running AOSP want Vanilla - The push to get it in and working would be minimal. Sense is sadly not as simple as installing an APK.

Anyone know what version of Android this is? The magic has Donut, right?

Why would you want to add Sense to an AOSP build? That's basically your stock ROM minus some of the crap apps crammed on there, which is already available.

I was wondering the same thing when I saw this on Engadget this morning, what version of Android is the MyTouch running, I thought I remember hearing that it was on 1.6.

It is 1.6.
My co-worker has one and likes to remind of the fact that it came pre-installed on his MyTouch.
EDIT: Correction, he got it OTA. I'm running AOSP1.6 now anyway so... screw him!

so can we downloaded already? its for the hero? whats new?

just cheked haha i dint read

Can't have it all I guess? (Not really a rant thread)

Hello xda-ers!
I have been stalking around, tasting everybody's cooking for a couple of weeks now, and i have got to get something off my chest.
I did search, I do realize that what I am looking for can not be made and that its no one's fault (I might be giving htc a meaningful look right now).
I like a whole lot of roms and chefs here, I really do, but the rom I'm after seems to not exist - one of two options:
1. A hero rom with all the eyecandy, that's donut based for compatibility with newer apps like goggles and the like.
2. An Eclair rom that has video and youtube working.
And so I would like to ask of you wizzies, is there light at the end of the tunnel? Are things comming around? How do you see it?
Correct me if I'm wrong, hardware-ish the mytouch is 36 MB of ram shorter then a hero and a has a lesser camera, but its not like the hero is running its os on its last bits of ram or anything so basically what the hero can do the mytouch can do, no? Is it safe to assume that when the hero\magic gets an update (and I do hope that it does) someone could pull over some driver support for eclair or something?
Thank you all so much for all your hard work, you guys are the reason I love smartphones so much, I'm dirt poor but i promise I'll buy you guys a round of beer once I get out of college

Its a matter of time bro. Be batient. A month ago, none of the eclair roms had camera. Now they all do. A month before that none of the eclair roms had N1 voice keyboard. Now they all do. God knows what some of these amazing roms will have and do a month from now. [/good deed for the year]

Love the FAQ sig lol

1. The devs aren't the ones making the actual hero, they just make hero work with our phones. They can't just say "I want you to be donut", and it be donut. Htc decided to skip donut, and the devs can't do much about that. They can however give you 2.0 hero which is scattered about the forum.
2. Drivers, drivers, drivers. You know, the thing that appears in almost every first post for this problem

As I've said, I realize that.
My point is that apperently you can't cook rosie\sense\whatever onto a 1.6 rom without htc (Ref: "I might be giving HTC a meaningful look") and at the same time you can cook it onto a 2.0 rom - which means broken video drivers.
I'm sure there's a good reason for it, and this is not a rant, just needed to let steam out I guess.

"if" you had searched you could have found answers to both of your questions... and maybe posted in the correct section.
maybe that "I might be giving HTC a meaningful look" should be turned into "i actually searched and posted in the Q&A section or the I didn't read before posting..."
No offence but seriously if you would have searched you would have found those 2 answers in almost every thread that had to do with hero or eclair...

I think someone leaked an HTC branded Eclair ROM with the "rosie/sense/whatever," and that's why you see it cooked into a 2.0 ROM.

It went off topic at the same rate the iPad went from wanted to ridiculed. What's so bad about that?

Well back on topic/kinda...
Do we know for sure that htc will release the necessary drivers for video playback/camera? It sounds like some people are positive we'll get them eventually...I switched back to donut because I like being able to watch youtube, but its amazing how far along eclair roms have come, and mad props to NCommander for reverse engineering the camera drivers. Without him we'd still have no camera at this point. But I was just wondering if its confirmed or not that we will indeed get those drivers from htc one day.

Well, T-Mobile is teasing us with an Eclair update for our phones. We shall see.

What I would REALLY like is a ROM that is smooth and as responsive and the one on the iPhone. Doesn't need fancy apps, just the basic things like Messaging, Phone, Browser, camera/camcorder, apps of course. Anyone else think the same? It's what I have been looking for , for a long time

DO NOT INSTALL THIS UPDATE IF YOU NEED ROOT IN A FUTURE!

I am one of those crazy ones who does not care about root. I did it once, and removed it. Call me crazy.
Installing now ...
PS what I mean, most people on this board would know this, and will have read your other posts about the subject.
On top, I am sure some genius will hack this one also and we can root it. It will just take a while longer.

Oh I tell you, I was crazy once... didn't care about the root. Just wanted Android 2.1. I wanted it now. But then, in a moment of enlightenment, I listened to shadow_fi. And when HTC announced that there will be no further updates past 2.1 to Hero (at least CDMA, but I guess it applies to every other Hero), it was obvious that we shall not go down that evil OTA path... and so I flashed VillainROM 10.3.2 and hence my Hero will live happily ever after.

Just spoke with HTC Support and they said Orange and 3 OTA is delayed but by how much they would not say

That is becoming less and less likely with more people moving to other devices, if you flash this 2.1 chances are you will never be able to try new things like a froyo release

There is already a thread ** Official 2.1 UK UPDATE Thread ** .
Keep posts in the same area regards to this update then everyone can find it.

Let us petition HTC to bring KItkat barebones to the Legend

Its all in the Title

If im correct they stop suport in 2.1, why do you think they will give us 4.4?

Im sorry to have to say this but there is no way HTC would even care, nor would we get enough people to actually make this possible. But we do have some devs currently working on 4.4 for the legend.

Yeah, im not saying that it is impossible, in this case we are lucky we got a developer who is working on a KitKat port, but it is not officially from HTC and this is what the thread is about i guess.

But it is true that HTC won't do anything more for the Legend (which is normal regarding its age).
