I recommend you start off with Cyanogen. Once you're comfortable enough to experiment, throw on JACHero. The HTC TouchFlo UI is truly great and worth the lack of bluetooth.
The Hero Theme doesn't give you any of the benfits of the actual Hero UI. I previously ran The Dude's w/ the Hero theme and found it was lagged too much and ate too much battery for just being a bit prettier. JACHero on the other hand is a different phone that is superior to the G1 is nearly every way.

thanks for the reply, If i ran JACHero is there any lag? Also would i be able to keep the Stock radio, I noticed this phone has signal in my house, My Iphone and blackberry do not.

also should i even bother with apps2sd because I have a class 4 sd card.

Also anyone know what a PVT board is and how to figure out i have one?

Most of your questions have been answered. Please search. If its ROM related search the Development forum (there is nice sticky at the top of the thread list), if its theme related then it will be in the Theme section.

Yes. To find out if you have a PVT board, hold the camera while you press the power button to turn it on. It will say it at the top

What's the latest and greatest to do with My Touch 3G

I'm a newb to android and pretty impressed with stock. Just looking over some of the crazy things people are doing, I'm wondering what the latest and greatest thing to do with the My Touch 3G is. From Which ROM/software to run all the way down to settings and Apps. Would really appreciate the run down. Thanks

The Answer

hey there. im gonna actually answer ur question instead of telling u to search. okay well there is really two things u can do, maybe three.
1) install cyanogen's ROM
2) hero ROM
3) donut optimized ROM
my first choice would be cyanogen. visit his site:
www.cyanogenmod.com
this rom is basically the most stable and fastest rom out there. its running the 1.6 donut firmware but it is highly optimized. this is what i am using now. second option is to install a hero rom. i would try either eugenes rom or maxisma's hero roms. they are the best and they offer the best support without being rude. check them out here:

third option (which i dont recommend) is to use an optimized donut rom that ISNT cyanogen. i wouldnt even bother with these. these are the three roms i would use. take care.

People would be more willing to help instead of just saying to search for the answer, if the OP had posted this in the right section of the forum. This belongs in general, not development. That's why Evil and I did not help. As you can tell by my link, I posted the forum rules and how you need to post in the right section because development is not general, like this question is.

All opinions are subjective. I would flash dwang 1.11 to your MT3G as it runs a lot more smoothly than Cyanogen. Look for dwang's rom on this board as IMO it is the fastest and most optimised rom for the 32b Magic/MT3G.

Yeah dwang's rom is really good. Using it right now. And there are good alternatives for some of the Hero features. Beautiful widgets or weather widget (skinnable!) instead of Hero flip clock. Advanced Launcher if you want more home screens, spelldial for responsive touch dialing (can't live without this one). And the touch keyboard from Hero is available (search HTC IME, this keyboard also includes XT9).
As for the wrong section;
Maybe subtexts for the categories would help a bit?

Welcome to Android and hello from a fellow MT3G user. Important things to know about modding your android phone, the Mytouch 3g = Magic 32b. This is important and how developers explain which rom (build) is for which phone. The second most important thing to invest in is a CLASS 6 micro SD card. This is very important, class 6 is the speed of the SD card and a very fast SD card is needed for running any HERO rom. HERO roms put files on the SD card that are needed with normal usage so if you use the SD card that comes with the phone (class 2) it will run slow as hell. A good, cheap class 6 SD card is this 8gb Adata card for 17.75. This is the SD card I use. If you're still on the SD card that comes with the phone, you're not out of luck. I would start out with Cyanogen's 4.3.2.1, his current build. His builds have the latest and greatest features while not starting from a hero build. It does not have the super fancy UI, but still looks a lot prettier than stock, is rock solid stable and runs extremely fast. Check it out here.
I'm assuming you've never rooted an android phone before, so when you're ready, which this step-by-step video on how to root . I would certainly recommend watching the video a few times before you do it and make SURE to follow it exactly. Good luck, have fun and post up with your thoughts and experiences.

So what are the benefits from running different roms? Will the processing be faster? In other words, if you (the reader of this reply) was a salesman and I (acscott22) was the customer why would I want to switch roms? What am I going to notice from making the switch?

does the mt3g need partitions or do you need them only for certain roms?

quick question
Since HTC has already stated they wont release Sense UI for any google branded phones (Mytouch 3g, etc) instead of flashing a Hero rom, wouldn't it be easier to flash a vanilla unbranded Donut ROM onto the Mytouch and then add the Sense UI?
not sure if anyone has tried this yet though

Well, a salesman wouldn't really tell you to as it's all a bit nudge-nudge wink-wink and voids your warranty.
Pretty much you'll be allowing yourself to do things you wouldn't normally be able to do with a stock ROM, some of which would help speed up your phone a bit. It's not so much about just speeding things up but exploring the potential of the phone to its fullest. Not only that but you'll have all the latest and greatest updates without waiting for you carrier to release them over OTA! Impress your friends! Befuddal your enemies (see; iPhone users)!

Only with ROMs that support/require them, primarily for App2SD (instead of storing applications in the phones internal storage storing them in on the SD) and/or a swap partition to free up RAM. Most of the time it's not necessary but you'll be missing out on the additional, beneficial functionality.

Unfortunately I'm pretty sure Sense UI requires a lot of dependencies that are only present in Hero ROMs, and can't just be brought across wholesale from said Hero ROM to AOSP builds.

ok but HTC has said that they are going to release sense UI to unbranded Magics. Not sure when, but they did say that it was going to happen. I guess I'll have to hold out. I cant go without bluetooth, but I really like the Sense UI of the Hero Roms.

I've been a lurker for quite some time... and I always feel like i'm missing something. I've already got the cyanogenmod, but what you posted I found was helpful. There's a lot of roms out there, there's lots of lists, and many have a lot of information in them. Informations good, but it's nice to see it summarized in just a few sentences.
Sure a lot of posts are reposts... but sometimes those good because older stuff needs updating/clarification.
Thanks!

HTC were talking about HTC branded Magics (32A). The 32B Magic (MyTouch3G) is Google branded and doesn't have enough RAM to run Sense UI.

Skype for Sprint HERO

Hey Everyone. This is my first time starting a new thread, but a recent release got me interested.
Yesterday, Skype released Skype Mobile for Android. Yee Haw, right?
Wrong. It's only for Verizon. My personal opinion, that's dumb.
I've got a Sprint HTC Hero, and I would *LOVE* to have Skype on it.
Is there anyone out there who's freaking awesome and is planning on developing a work-around for the Verizon-only bit?
If so, I beg you, PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED!
Thanks in advance!

I remember having an official Skype program on my phone shortly after I got it. It was chat only, though. Now I can't seem to find it anywhere. I'm guessing that they check which carrier you are on and block it to any carrier that doesn't want it used on their network. I'm guessing Sprint would lose out on their international plans if Skype Mobile with VOIP was allowed.

Hi I'm not as knowledgeable. How do you download the app to

I have the software, but I think it is totally different from windows mobile. I think we are being charge locally when we make calls unlike winmo.

your saying they block apps based on phone carrier, is that determined by the pre-loaded ROM/ just a code that the market reads to determine the apps that are shown or is it a hardware thing?

maybe is other solution for skype?

something odd that i've noticed is withthe 2.2 market skype doesn't even appear, but on a 2.1 rom it does.

Search Google for ( "index of" com.skype.android.lite.apk ) it works on other carrier phones and can run on WiFi (vzw dont). Would upload but not anywhere near home.

New Windows Mobile Bing App! Updated 04/14/2010

New Windows mobile Bing app is here!
No clear changlog is out yet.
"It's almost difficult to say how many Windows Phone owners prefer to use Microsoft's own Bing app as opposed to Google's. Luckily for those users who happily rely on using the Bing app, there is an update that brings the app to version 5.1.2010. It's unfortunate that Verizon Windows Phone owners can't get in on this update – that's because it only is available to Windows Phones on AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile. It's not to say that it's a bad thing for those Verizon owners because it looks to be only a maintenance update and doesn't really offer anything exciting..........."

Until the new BING is able to access my contacts, I will continue to use the September 2009 version I have.
I tried this new one and I don't like the way it locates movies [the old one let you search by theater or by movie] and I have to type/speak a friend's address in to get directions to them [the old one let you select from your contact list to set either origination or destination points].
These are 'deal breakers' for me. Until they are resolved I won't touch the new BING.
I'm just glad I saved that old .cab!

The only thing nice about the newer versions is Style/Look...
The old are still the best...

I didn't expect a change to Bing Mobile until WP7.

It seems to be more of a buf fix than anything grand.

Can somone please post a link to the best available BING cab for the Sprint TP2 ????
Thanks.
I was using the stock Sprint 6.5 ROM for the TP2 and preferred that version of BING to the new one.
I lost that version of BING when I installed MightyROM Rhodium.

Garbage. Why do they not put their bird's eye view back in? It's really the only thing going for Bing.

Not sure why you say to bad for Verizon but it's on my Verizon TouchPro 2 and working just fine. Downloaded straight from m.bing.com/download...

Is this the cab from the Sprint WM6.5 or is it an earlier one?
My Sprint WM6.5 Livesearch gives me a Bing version of 4.6.9179.1 (OEM). Is that this version?
I ask as I would like to have a backup of my Bing version [or newer] so I can continue to test Bing upgrades as they come out and then I can revert to one that allows access to contacts if the newest Bing doesn't.
My Bing cab is an older version. I would have to install it to verify which one, but it was from September 9 2009.
Thanks again.

I ask as I would like to have a backup of my Bing version [or newer] so I can continue to test Bing upgrades as they come out and then I can revert to one that allows access to contacts if the newest Bing doesn't.
My Bing cab is an older version. I would have to install it to verify which one, but it was from September 9 2009.
Thanks again.

Ok, thanks for the update.
Just for everyone's benefit, I've loaded the Bing from September [9/11/09]. Just fyi

New Version
There's another new version of Bing out which does a MUCH better job of navigation than the previous version. Might be worth checking out and comparing to the version prior to the UI change.
