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.

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.

You may not have enough posts to link. -Your still a junior member, but I am not sure at what level it lets you link.

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?

It's for the magic not the hero. Not the hero.

just cheked haha i dint read

Is an all AOSP Rom even possible?

I mean all the way AOSP? I miss the Roms that were available for my G1...I thought the SenseUI would be awesome to have, but seriously...it actually sucks.

Yeah. There's AOSP 1.6, and DarchDroid is based off of AOSP 2.1. Do a search next time....

an all asop rom is not fully possible yet, theres a few out there but the camera doesnt work and a few other things but thats because they cant fix that until the official 2.1 comes out then we will have our fully aosp, theres darch vanilla, and darch droid, but a few things are missing as i stated above, if you are like me and you want a fully functionable aosp rom just wait until this update comes out then my friend we score, i hate sense, it blows...............ive been waiting for this a long time....dont even bother with the old aosp roms i mean their good but not 100%

Here's the big answer to your question. All AOSP roms ARE possible. They just don't have all the functionality of Sense ROMs. DarchVanilla, or the link in my sig, will get you as close to aosp as you can get without breaking functionality.

And might I add it's all HTCs fault because they won't release the .29 kernel source and their massive amount of modification to it disallows the ability to just port over a .29 kernel as it is... What Android was all about in the first place.

Haha, I have one of those too...but let me tell you, if you flash 2.1 on it, and even THINK about thinking about looking at it to go online or play a game....or make a call, your battery drains.
HeroMeng...I'll check that one out. Thanks.

Cyanogen to target HeroC in CM6

According to CM's Twitter.
"CM6 targets: Nexus One, Droid, Dream, Magic, Desire, Evo, Slide "
Then he later tweeted
"Add HeroC to the list too "

Mods can delete if you want

Hot diggity damn. I'm so glad we have a vibrant development community on the Hero. Unlike that icky moment. Only 2-3 active devs on that phone and only ONE of them is still putting out new stuff.

Must have missed it but I thought you went to the dark side with the moment. Did you come back?

This definitely makes up for some devs leaving for the Evo. ;o

So I guess Cyanogen is going to put out a ROM for the Hero??? AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! BTW, is HeroC that CDMA hero, or is that the GSM Hero???

Yes. Darch's darchdroid is and someone correct me if I'm wrong, pretty much a port of CM5

Yeap it's pretty much the exact same as CM5. Atleast if you look at the changelog in CM5 and DarchDroid it's the same.

so we'll have TWO aosp roms?....
Darch should be recruited hehe

That would be awesome and would really help getting XDA devs working together instead of competing.

Yea, a whole _xda-dev-team_ hehe
But I be it would be hard, different people have different aims/ devices..
I have a Hero and want it lean and fast..
Some others might prefer a balance or maybe all eye candy..
I hope Darch's froyo build is as lean and minimal as Darchdroid 2.7..

My guess is that Darch's FroYo build will be the exact same as DarchDroid, but just built on FroYo instead of Eclair. My guess is that Cyanogen's build will be the same as Darch's build.

Yes. DarchDroid is built from CyanogenMos 5.0.8.

If I understand correctly, Darchdroid is CyanogenMod 5 complied for Heroc. We won't have two AOSP ROMs unless Darch decides to make his own changes which didn't seem like his original goal.

I think he means the UI. I could try to build a ROM based on it if you can find me a ROM from a QVGA touchwiz device

There is a video of touchwiz 3.0 on a Wildfire on youtube at the moment.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpE02_hR9mU&NR=1
Check it out!.

why do people do this stuff? I have honestly not seen any UI used by a phone-manufacturer, which i would call superior to launcherPro :-D

Its fun to try, but I agree. LauncherPro is true awesomeness!

Why do people want crap on their awesome phones? Sense is x100 better than touchwiz (any version) LOL

I had TouchWiz running on it, but the app drawer eats the last line of icons on every page and i don't know how to get the icons away from there. I might try to look into the apk, maybe there are settings to change.

I don't like the look of iOS, and i feel that MiUi is a battery hog. I never keep it more that 24hrs before i end up going back to CM.
The only OS that i've keep more than a week, other that CM, is V.Unity.

ah, ok lol. so it seems like its more of an aesthetics thing for you more than a stability thing. the thing that turned me away from cm7 originally was the aosp lockscreen. i love the ability to customize just about everything with miui and i dont use the stock launcher. may have to give cm7 a shot sometime soon
on a side note, whats the most stable version of cm7 youve used?

Nightly 252. Super Stable. And i can customize everything about my OS. Widget Locker, i can have ICS, HC, GB, FroYo, Sense or any number of custom lock screens. Countless themes for AWDex and the OS it self. One of the main reasons i like CM is the customization.
