Fender/Sapphire 32a question - myTouch 3G, Magic General

This might be a stupid question, and I've already searched everywhere, but are the Fender/Mytouch 1.2 ROMS the same as the 32A roms??

No.. fender is a 32a/32b hybrid... look for roms that thread title say support mt3g 1.2/fender... and btw cm 5.0.x build supports it.. and is the best 2.1 build... look for it in the g1/dream section.

ive tried it, but im looking for a really good rom with Sense, but the best one I've found was from the Droid Eris, so MMS wouldn't work(VZW settings were locked in).

Mod. edt: not dev related, moved to general

I was able to port a Sense UI rom to the Fender device a few months ago. I haven't actually given it any recent attempts though.
The Fender device hasn't really caught on as expected. Especially with the new MyTouch Slide, Nexus and other devices with much faster specifications.
Any kernel developed by Cyanogen (I believe 2.6.33 and later) should support the device. However the fact that it would be based off a Cyanogen rom would suggest that it was ported over since Cyanogen has already stated on several occasions that he would not produce a rom with HTC Sense (otherwise known as Rosie formerly known on Hero devices) and not to ask him about it.
Here is the rom that I ported: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669942
It is pretty stable but doesn't not have a netfilter (thus no tethering... look into Barnacle for that) or bluetooth.
But seriously... if you want something to use on a daily basis then try Cyanogen's 5.0.7 rom or wait for the 5.0.8 which is supposed to be released soon (we are currently on the last test build... hopefully).
Good luck.

Quickest visually applealing HERO rom w/flash

What is the safest, fastest, nicest looking ROM that has has flash and most functionality for a 32B myTouch?
If you could give me some directions on the install that would be amazing too. I am not familiar with the hero rom process. I'd prefer it to be as simple as possible, just like Cyan's.
Thanks in advance!!
11 Days later and still nothing. I'm sure someone has some idea!
it depends on what you're looking for. There are plenty of 1.5 hero's. My personal favorites are Ttran001's 3.0 and Qtek's 1.7 or 1.8.
If you are looking for an eclair hero, look in the dream forums for a 32B. there are a few there, but they are not quite up to par yet and have some bugs including the camera does not work yet due to not having the drivers

dream or sapphire?

just broke my phone, and now need to get either a dream or sapphire. but had some questions
dose the cam work on 2.0/ 2.0.1/droid or hero
dose the hero rom lag like it dose on the g1?
and when rooting do you have to use ADB because there is no keyboard?
thanks for any help on this.
Get a hero or droid
haha
just get a droid or a hero bro. Unless you're cool running cyan or some other 1.6-2.0 rom. Any hero on my mytouch hasnt proven to be a daily user. albeit im a novice at best, but if you're asking then i would assume you're no pro.
My two cents
there are several hero roms that are daily users here. The only problem is, it is not going to be as snappy as a modded-stock rom like Cyanogen. If you set your phone up right, there is no reason why most of these roms could not be daily users.
Qtek and Ttran001 have great 32B roms IMO that are great for daily use.
wouldnt say im a pro, just dont have the time anymore to keep up on everything, but i have been flashin roms on the g1 since the beginning. never got onto the sapphire boards, so just tryin to get some more info before i decide.
what i know is that the Sapphire has more ram than the g1 so that makes me wonder about the speed. I noticed that on some roms they dont use Swap when they are used with the 32a.
just wonderin more on what changes from one to another.
the 32B has the same ram as the G1. The 32A has the same ram as the Hero. That's why there is no need for the linux swap.
It all depends on the phone you are going to get. MyTouch and Google Ion, etc. are 32B. HTC Magic's are 32A.
ok well i guess the big question is dose the cam work on 2.0 roms?
im guessing that the cams are both the same but was looking at a 2.0 rom made for the sapphire only and it didnt say that it didnt work.
G1 or Sapphire
Is the sapphire as good as the dream as far as capabilities. I had a G1 and loved it but unfortunately i dropped it off a roof at work. I was pretty familiar with all the featres and was using a Cyan ROM. Is the sapphire as versatile as the Dream?
2.01 roms on saphire
I have been using manups 2.01 eclair rom on my saphire 32b for about a week now and have been quite surprised at the speed and funcitonality differences. Unfortunatly the camera does not work, but i am sure manup will fix this. But overall I am very happy with the saphire/mytouch.
i recommend the magic to you, it's just so much better looking than the dream. to help you with your rom questions: it's only a matter of time, til the first 2.0 oder 2.1 rom, which supports camera and all the other beautiful features, will be released. for now, i've been using "crusorsense"-rom (a sense-ui/"hero" rom) for about three weeks. it's the best rom i've ever seen! battery life and performance are even better than while using orignal rom.
There isn't any Android 2.0+ camera or bluetooth driver for the Sapphire yet. And we probably have to wait for a HTC update with those before any developers will make these work.
But why not get a NexusOne or a Droid instead ?

It depends what you expect from daily use ... I use bluetooth every day so it makes it impossible for me to use any hero roms.
As for Android 2.0 bluetooth is working and someone has the camera working in the dream development forum, they compiled their own driver using some of the 1.6 binary and a bit of guesswork and got it working, camcorder does not work yet but it won't be long before this makes its way to 2.0 roms (sapphire uses the same driver). The graphics acceleration still sucks though, making it jerky to swipe on launcher screens as well as anything else that uses gpu (which is what is stopping me from moving to a 2.0 rom)
I second what ronni.rasmussen said, why not get a Nexus One or Moto Droid? Or even an HTC Hero or Droid Eris. There are a lot of better handsets out now that leave the dream and sapphire a long way behind in terms of specs.
Btw sorry to be a nitpicking bastard but not all HTC Magic's are not 32A, it depends on where in the world you buy your phone and on what carrier. I have an HTC Magic and it is a 32B.

MyTouch Vs Rogers? Fastest Sense Rom for the MyTouch?

OK, so the MyTouch and the HTC Magic at Rogers (http://www.htc.com/us/support/magic-rogers/downloads/) look like exactly the same phone - but the rogers has had a 2.1 + Sense UI update and its faster than any other Sense UI rom here at xda.
What are the differences between these two phones? Can we port over the rogers 1.5 w/ Sense UI to get the fastest Sense UI rom on the MT3G?
Is it against the forum rules to ask a Rogers user for their serial number so I can download the update from HTC's website and work on porting it myself? If not, would anyone be willing to PM me their serial so I can get to work on it?
The thing is - speed has always been an issue with sense roms - the rogers has other bugs but maybe the speed increases would be enough for users to start using this rom (if we could cut it) and then we can fix all the bugs HTC won't fix in it. And yes, I know this is based off of 1.5 - but its also written specifically for similar hardware. - Granted, I understand the difference in RAM between the 32a and 32b devices (288 vs 192)
Isn't Cursorsense already based on the Rogers rom?
it is, but its been made for the 32A not the 32B, 32A has more ram than 32B so we need a smaller, less intensive rom like the rogers.

Giving HTC phones Sense is based on the phone provider; ROGERS decided to give HTC Magic users Sense UI, some other people are not so lucky as each provider wants to customize each ROM to their own liking (adding their own apps, wallpapers, boot up screens, etc) and some want to add new features like Sense.
I hope people also realize that the update ROGERS put out was NOT 2.1. People have to stop thinking this; the ROM is still 1.5 and the 2.1 update is supposed to be coming out soon.
If you want a Sense UI, download one of the 1.6+ ROMS, ROGERS was a good ROM while I had it but there was too many bugs in the ROM itself; there are probably better, faster ROMS already out there that are vastly superior to ROGERS ROM.

The OP clearly stated he know it was 1.5...
To OP:
The ROM is a 32A designed ROM. I don't think any amount of tweeking will make it run better on a MT3G to be frank.

The original post has an edit; I didn't see the last part until after my post.
Best Rom
search for binary100100 he ported a rom too the 32a (fender/1.2) but it is a g1 port with support for the mytouch original and the new ones as well as all the g1's out there..
on my friends g1 it boots in about 1 minute 30sec
and on my 1.2 it boots in under a min..
anyways its like KiNGxKlickDroidEris2G1 just search for it or look for Binary100100 who ported it and he has a link to the original thread
Dude... the thread is from may 2010!!!!!
the rom runs flawlessly, it boots nicely, nd with the CR_Slide OC it works even faster, the kernel frm the overclock puts my 1.2 mytouch at 845mhz
with an already stable nd speedy sense rom!!!
damn its fast with that kernel its booting faster than ever

Senseless roms really arent... are they

So, coming from a string of G1's and a Nexus, I cannot stand SenseUi. At ALL. I can live with the widgets and launcher- they are actually tolerable- what I cant accept are the keyboard, the way contacts are brought up, the lack of cut/paste in several areas, and all the frilly crud that goes along with it. I seek a TRUE vanilla rom, based on Android components not HTC. People constantly recommend using advanced launcher or one similar, but these are just launchers- they dont change the stuff back to stock that I seek. So my question is, can there ever be a REAL vanilla rom that has none of the Sense components? Is it possible to de-theme these areas in similar fashion to how the current de-sensing works, or would it require that HTC releases a vanilla version (which they never will). I guess I am asking, am I fighting a loosing battle?
You are coming from an N1 and asking this question?
Really?
Cyanogenmod ring a bell?
i was in the same boat as you. i am on cyanogen now, however there are a few issues with this port. on the nexus i didn't ever have any issues with cm6 but on the incredible you have to install another kernel after you install cm6 so that the camera will work, the camcorder just doesn't work yet, and when i have wifi on i get a reboot about once a day. i live with it because like you i hate sense ui but i wish they would have released a n1 for verizon. they did just release the source code for 2.6.32 which is froyo today, so the code shoulod be added into the nightlies of cm6 shortly.
It's been said that the latest radio fixes many (if not all) of those problems in Cyanogen on DInc. I can't attest to this being true or not, but some people were talking about it last night in the "Unrevoked - Forever" thread in the dev section.
cool! so there is hope. I figured the CM rom would be truly vanilla, but since it had so many little oddities I haven't given it a go yet. Good to know there is the possibility. Thanks guys

The new .32 kernel source that was just released will also allow koush to finish CM6 for the incredible. Basically now that this new kernel is out the bluetooth stack and everything else including the camcorder not working in CM6 will all work once implemented.
Even though the bluetooth works perfect in CM6 unlike normal senseui roms. /letting out BT steam
...
I wonder when this will be ready?

[Q] New to MT4G/Where to start?

I've had a Vibrant since launch and basically am just fed up with it. Got my wife a MT4G for Xmas and it's a great phone. It just kept getting on my nerves as my phone constantly switched back and forth between edge and 3g in the house and hers was always on H. Also liked the Sense UI that it has. So I just ordered one.
So I had my old Vibrant rooted and flashed many roms on it but the process seems a bit different with the mytouch. Where should I start? Also which roms should I be looking at on here that still have versions of Sense installed. Not a huge fan of plain vanilla android. Also with the Vibrant I could flash different kernals by themselves over other roms, is that the case with the mytouch?
Thanks for the help.
What you need sounds like Themed version of Ice Glacier, look under Dev section and find Ice Glacier v1.1.6 but download "Themed" version as opposed to regular.

Here I even gave you QL so go and look in to it.

well, first you need to root your phone, and Id recommend using the method found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834225
That's the method I used, and it worked like a charm for me.
Once you're rooted, then there are a lot of ROMs on the Development forum. If youre looking for sense, then Id say go with Iced Glacier (if you like the MySense found on the stock rom) or Evil's ports of the desire HD and Desire Z, as well as Gorilla's Desire HD port (if you like the Sense found on most other HTC phones). as for your kernel question, yes you can flash them over the ROMs, you dont have to use the one built into the ROM by any means. Just be careful that the kernel you flash is compatibile with your specific ROM, and follow all instructions completely. Hope all this helps as always, credits to the ROM and kernel creators, Im just an enthusiast trying to get the news out.
