Hi all
First post here, read alot though.
I have a magic which was running a 2.1 rom and now running cyanogen 2.2 rom.
Both were slow and now its got to the point where i avoid txting cause the keyboard disappears and doing stuff on my phone as its so slow.
Im looking for solutions to this.. they may come in either a form of recommendation from a magic user with a fast older rom.. but preferably i would like to go back to stock and then maybe sell it.
I lost my original nandroid backup when shifting computers.
But i have another identical magic from my workmate that is untouched that i could make a copy of and place on the slow one if its possible and someone could tell me how.
Semi new to android rom'ing but been in IT for years and now work for Vodafone. So will be able to follow any instructions.
NZ Vodafone HTC Magic 32b
Thanks in advance

Anyone able to help me with this?
Thanks

That phone is just slow in general
On my magic I have amen ra's latest recovery and a rooted version of the official tmobile ota froyo update its somewhere in the androind development part for mytouch. Amen ras new recovery alows you to partition the sd card so you can you can put more swap memory I put 92 and 512. And it also helps if you overclock and manage your running programs.
Sometimes if you don't flash the rom right it makes it run slow too

SE x8 don't support Flash Player, so i cant play
vids on browser but i know that when rooted, my phone's OS or ROM ( or something similar) can be changed , and many different "things" can be done, my questions are : Is supporting flash player included in the "things"?Which OS or ROM should i change to? Someone suggested me Skyfire Web Browser.. I was stunned... LOL I don't need a browser which can support flash! i needa phone which can support flash player.
Im a newbie and my knowledge is, originally our phones are running on stock roms(which don't allow many things to be done) , once rooted, we can change the stock roms to customized roms...
And we can turn our phone into phones like HTC Desire or G1 or Samsung Galaxy...I NOE IM NOOB PLEASE CORRECT ME!
Everytime i did try to do research on how to make my phone better after rooting, but everytime i view a thread, i will be like
" ****! what u guys talking man ..The words u guys use are killing me...i don't get u guys at all.."
so here are some noob questions please help me :
1)What is/are
modules?
sense? ive seen some people say they can make their X8 run on HTC sense?
firmware?
build number? mine is 2.0.1.a.0.47 , people say there is 2.1.1.bla.bla.bla. Should i and how to update ? (MY X8 is already rooted)
i've found out that, its a should to upgrade my phone to 2.1.1 , as many latest customized ROMs like gingerbread and froyo can be supported on 2.1.1 only.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941458&page=8 ,
i dont get him. if i wanna upgrade, should upgrade then re-root my phone or what
xRecovery?
Jit?
Floyo? Froyo? Gingerbread? are they just themes or what..? What's the advantages of installing them?
Flashing ROMs?
SI number?
2) How to get
multitouch works on x8
flash player works on x8
WHY some people can have their x8s running on android 2.2 or 2.3? WHen running on 2.2 2.3, what's the advantages
IM REALLY CONFUSED NOW DONT KNOW WHAT SHOULD I DO FIRST NOW! first step should be updating my firmware to 2.1.1.a.0.6 eh?
answer
to answer some of your questions, skyfire does support flash and gingerbread, froyo, floyo and all those are roms (operating systems for the phone). you can get gingerbread themes for the older roms. i am actually just after figuring everything out and i just flashed my phone with the latest gingerbread rom
xRecovery = something like a "boot programme" with this you can buck up, mount sd card on case your phone broke down, update to an othed rom, put themes.. And many more... Is the next step after roof.
Jit= something like a programme... But not a programme, it make your phone faster.
Update: depends on your country... Make an update from cp companion.
Multytouch / Dualtouch : not availiable, developers are trying to crack bootloader and some others port it as a module.
Module: if you are not an expert on linux, u dont need to know what this is , its something like help drivers I think...
Flash on x8: Adobe release flash for android 2.2 but last offisial version was 2.1 ... Only easy way to install it is to flash your phone with a rom 2.2 and up, for x8 (with xRecovery)
(no unoffisial rom is realy stable but there are good enought.)
Android 2.2 and up: x2-x5 faster, the speed defference is realy big, so u can get more from your device.
Is: I think this is a code of your phone , a signature of the country it comes from, used on update.
There are some othes simillar numbers like it, ex. Market number...
This is what I know... maybe I am wrong.
1.You can have flash in 2.2 and above ROM..but atm,i dont think theres is fully working
ROM yet to play with it..most of dev a trying their best to make completed ROM,so please be patient a bit.You can try Racht or Jarpelea ROM which is the best rite now for X8, search for it in X8 Android Developement Section.
2.Yes every phone is shipped with stock ROM and we need to rooted it to be able to customized it, Yes you can also turn your phone like HTC Desire or G1 or Samsung Galaxy but in what thing? if u said ROM,you'll have to wait for dev to port the ROM to our X8. and if u said about theme,theres alot of theme,app that can change ur X8 interface to htc,g1.
3.As an regular user, idont think u have to know what modules is,its related to system driver or kernel that u dont want to messed with.Sense is a theme that available on every HTC phone, what their mean by "X8 run on HTC sense" is there a able to use HTC Sense theme on our X8..have u ever see Sense clock? the square white flip clock that available on every HTC phone, thats one of it.
Firmware is also known as official [email protected] from SE like ROM and App.
2.0.1.a.0.47 << this is an old ROM, the latest one is 2.1.1.A.0.6..Yes u should have to update as every update mean better performance, and bug fix..u can update via PC Companion..updating will clear all your data in internal memory, so it doest matter if you already rooted,PC Companion will install new ROM and you have to rooted it again. Yes you are rite, most of dev customized their rom based on latest [email protected] available..Yes again,update will wipe all your things located in internal memory and be replaced with the new one, so upgrade through PC companion and rerooted again.
xRecovery is an app that able u to [email protected] modified system file,able to backup and restored your whole phone if something goes wrong,able to [email protected] [email protected] ROM and many others,i can say it a must have app if u always want to messed with ROM @ custom file from dev.
JIT mean JUST IN TIME,its a file that able to boost your cpu and at the same time save you battery (for me) what is mean by Just In Time is,when u used this file,cpu will only be used when needed eg.opening app,playing games.
Floyo? Froyo? Gingerbread? <<<its a name of ROM,floyo is modified ROM name taken from Froyo which is official Adroid ROM..2.1 (Eclair),2.2 (Froyo),2.3 (Gingerbread)..we are 2.1 which is eclair.
Flashing Roms same a isntalling new rom,upgrading new rom,changing rom to ne one.used xrecovery to flash new rom.
SI number as i know is country code number that determined your location.let say:
2.1.1.A.0.6 for ORANGE <<<build number ORANGE is carrier
SI 1241-4645 <<<<Location code,we cant have same SI number as him if we are from diff location.
multitouch works on x8 <<<Not yet until dev able to [email protected]@modified SE bootloader,multitouch need a driver that properly start whan device boot
(bootloader is SE app that check every driver on every boot,every driver have some sort of SE sign to determined the officiality of the file)
WHY some people can have their x8s running on android 2.2 or 2.3? WHen running on 2.2 2.3, what's the advantages.
==because dev already port the ROM to suitable with X8, that y they can have it running on our X8. 2.2 and 2.3 is a latest build,as you know latest build mean better performance,latest things added in the ROM,and flash can only be run on that ROM..thats the advantage!!
Yes,i think u should update your phone first.
Here you go,hope that i already answering all ur quest.
Arghhhhh thanks so muchhhhh guys. XD
when updated, my phone's internal memory will be cleared up..including all the SYSTEM APPS? then automatically in the new ROM i will have the same SYSTEM APPS as in a newly bought phone?
and i used link2sd, apps that i linked to sd will be wiped away too?

what is busybox
my HD2 stopped reponding to touch the buttons still work i did multi hard resets but cant get it to work i wanna send it back but i know i gotta clean up my mess. im pretty newbie at this but if someone can give me a really idiot proof walk through i would be so thankful
come on guys a lil help here
Just download the official ROM for your HD2 and then flash it via SD card as this will revert everything. This is important make sure it is the ROM is for your HD2. Go to htc.com and enter your serial number that is under your battery and it will give you a list of official ROMs for your HD2.
Oh yeah not trying to be a ass but search does wonders as this has been covered almost daily.
hey everybody.
ive been having some issues installing roms from coredroid i have tried their desire 2.3 rom and it was soo slow soo soo slow i had to get rid of it. not sure why.
now i installed the froyo rom and the rom is working like a pro but i have no keyboard no keyboard shows up after installation.
i followed their install instructions step by step by step just need to know what is going on whether its the desire or the froyo it sucks pretty bad for me.
secondly
i have been looking around and saw something called miui its been bugging my curiosity so i checked out their website and i guess its a different brand of roms for android. question is what is soo special or unique about them ? and any recommended ones that i can try out maybe ? do let me know i would appreciate the help greatly
thanks
keyboard was a problem with v1.7 froyo. you can ask help for it, in rom's thread, because there were some fixes for it. or you can download a keyboard from market.
miui roms have a launcher similar to iphone. they are smaller in size and fast. they have updates every weekend regularly. their backup-restore function is unique. they have many alternative themes and lockscreens.
