Hello,
I just rooted my htc magic to mod 5.0.7. eclair.
Now i have a desire using the same firmare but it's looking completle different.
am i missing someting or is this normal.
i would like to have the same clock/weather, calender, email widget as the desire.
is this even possible?
after searching i now know i'm missing sense.
So the next question. Can please someone tell me what firmware i should take? I would like to have sense working on a 32b magic.
Ther are a lot off firmwares but all are missing some parts. Is there a firmware that is just stable?
You need to root it and install a Sense ROM, which you will find in the G1 development section. However the ROMs aren't really fast enough for it to be worth it
The most stable sense ROM is cursordroid running on 1.5. If you want a 2.1 sense, I am not sure what I can offer you. As to why CM Rom is different from the Rom of HTC, CM is AOSP aka Open-Sourced and HTC Sense is Closed Sourced. So technically you can't load closed sourced progs into open-sourced.

Hi, I just flashed the following ROM:
[ROM][32A][Nov07] MyHero 2.0.5 with Official SenceUI on HTC Kernel 2.6.27
Everything went well and it's working .. but it's runnin Android 1.5 I'd really like to start using Android 1.6 or even 2.0, but after searching many threads I cannot find one that is working properly (almost all have a vital component that isn't working, such as GPS or WIFI).
Can anyone tell me if there is an Android 1.6 or 2.0 ROM out there for Magic that is working properly?
Thanks!
I'm not sure about this but I thought cyanogens roms ran 1.6. (I've tried them on my 32a magic (using a port) and everything works)...that said.. you won't get the pretty Sense UI interface of myHero. As for 2.0 roms there is one where everything but the camera works. I'm waiting for cam support then upgrading.
Hey,
I've had the 32A Magic for a week now and have been switching back and forth between ROMs, trying to find one that suits me. Right now, I'm running GyD's 2.1.1 with SenseUI, but I'll be switching back to Cyanogen as soon as possible. As much as I love SenseUI, it's not worth the effort - most of the ROMs that came with it are either slow or unstable - or at least they were for me.
IMHO, you could try Cyanogen's 4.2.8 (released just a few hours ago) if you want a speedy vanilla interface or MyHero or JACHero if you want SenseUI.
I'm using MyHero atm and am really torn between SenseUI and 1.6, I really love the custom HTC apps for Mail and Contacts.. they are amazing. Hoping there will be a 1.6 (or later) ROM with SenseUI soon..
well the dwang rom 1.6 ver 1.13 is the best,but no sense ui.
here the link.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5132652#post5132652
this rom is fast and stable.5star
dwang is waiting for the camera driver to release a android 2.so you can try this o wait.
there's also RA that runs on 1.6 and is available for both 32A/B
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538645
dwang is for 32B... and as you've already noticed there isn't any fully working ROM based on 2.0 yet

CyanogenMod is most certainly available for 32A Magic's using bcrook's 32A/EBI1 port files. The first install can be a bit of a process - given Google's C&D on Mr Cyanogen which means he can't redistribute Google apps (i.e. gmail, market, sync, etc).
Basically you install an image which won't boot, but which installs the apps onto your device, flash the latest CyanogenMod (4.2.8 at the time of writing, although 4.2.8.1 isn't far away), and then bcrook's 32A port. All in all, it takes about five minutes tops.
Then you'll have a bleeding edge 1.6 Android, with a lot of 2.0 features. It's still 1.6 at its core though, although rumour has it Cyanogen is working on a 2.0 version once the drivers are available.
I'm now running the latest CyanogenMod on 32a. It's very fast and responsive.. but I miss the smoothness of SenseUI.
Looking forward to a 2.0 version.
HTC Tattoo or Click runs 1.6 with Sense
Since i was searching for a 1.6 ROM with the HTC Sense UI, i noticed that the Tattoo comes with 1.6 and Sense UI.
Is it not possible that someone can create a ROM based on that image? ( the screen size and type is different - 2.8" Resistive - does that make a difference? )
Hi all.
I have a 32A htc magic.
I have installed on this phone android 1.6 using ROM RAv 1.6.3.
Now I want to know if there is a stable ROM with android 2.2 available for this device.
Here is information about my device:
Base bandle:
62.52S.20.18U_3.22.20.17
kernel version
2.6.29-RAv1.6.2 [email protected] )
build number
DRC83
Thanks all for collaboration.

hey I just replied in another thread in this forum and it seems my answer might help you. so, copy and paste
“are these all roms for the 32b magic? I've got the 32a version which has 288mb ram (32b has 192mb right?). and what's the ram with the new magics, are there also two versions with different ram?
I think this fact should be the first to mention in this thread, doesn't make much sense comparing rom speeds and stability if we're all running magic versions with varying ram.
that said, I've always been a htc sense fanboy and was running cursor sense (1.5 cupcake), the fastest and most stable sense rom out there (especially with the overclocked kernel and the cpu running at 710mhz).
lately I wanted to switch to android 2.1 or 2.2 and been trying lots of roms. capylegend, capyslide, rcmix, smoki (all 2.1 sense roms). had troubles with most of them, they get unresponsive at times, absolutely no comparison with the cursor sense rom. so I started trying cyanogen roms and now I'm running the cm6 minimou version with an overclocked cpu (710mhz) and it really runs great.
my opinion: if you're looking for a 2.1 or 2.2 rom then the cyanogen roms are better than the sense roms (so far. this might change if cursor sense will be released with 2.1, hehe).”

There are MyTouch ROM's for 32A and they are original from google and very fast. FroyoYoshi ArsADroid, just rooted ones etc. you can try them they are 2.2.1
Hi all,
been playing around with my Magic last night and currently have the CM6 - FroyoRedux Mod v1.9 installed, gave the CM6-D/S a go as well but it didn't appear to have market?
Anyway, these roms do not look anything like the Froyo on my HTC Desire, if I recall correctly they are ported from/resemble Samsung Galaxy S?
Was wondering if there are any ROMs that do look and work like the original HTC one?
Cheers

hey,
what you are looking for is roms with the HTC Sense user interface (your desire is running android 2.1 with the htc sense on top).
i don't know of any 2.2 roms that have sense, but if you don't mind having 2.1+sense then try RCMix from capychimp or Smoki from klothius. both in the development section/forum. if you just want to have the sense interface on your magic and don't need the latest android (2.1 or 2.2) then i'd really recommend cursorsense from cursor droid. that's a 1.5 rom with sense and it runs perfectly - you can even overclock the cpu up to 710mhz with that rom (of course you have to flash the overclocked kernel over the rom and then use the program setcpu to overclock the cpu). you'll find cursorsense and the thread that has the overclocked kernel in the "rom bible" thread in the development section/forum.
so:
2.2 + sense: don't think there's one out yet
2.1 + sense: RCMix or Smoki
1.5 + sense: cursorsense (fast, very, very stable no problems at all plus option to overclock cpu).
try them out if you like!
greetz,
vercetti.
Cheers for the reply!
I'm running 2.2 on the Desire though, they released it in the beginning of August.
To be honest I don't really know the differences between 1.5 and 2.1, might try all of your suggestions while I'm at it
//Joris
no prob,
biggest difference for me between 1.5 and 2.1 is that google maps has navigation feature. to get a good glance what the differences between the versions are i'd suggest to just google "android 1.5", "android 2.1" and look for a features/improvements/comparison list.
if you don't need the changes they made since 1.5 then definetely go with cursorsense + overclocked cpu. you won't regret it...
greetz,

Hey people..
I was wondering.. At the moment i use the TatFroyoSense rom.. This one is pretty slow compared to the ones running cyanogen mod.. However i need a sense rom for various reasons.. Does there exist any sense rom with Android 2.3 other than TatFroyoSense ? Doesn't have to be the new sense (2.1), just the one from donut the Tattoo is born with.. Going back to a Donut rom makes the device rather useless because most apps from the market only can be found on Android 2.x ..
Would it be possible to make a Android 2.3 rom with the old sense ? Im not asking anyone to do it, just asking if its possible (or maybe allready exist?)
What makes the TatFroyoSense rom so slow ? Its a perfect rom for me, only problem is that it is so slow..

To do that you would have to port the whole sense framework . It is nearly impossible if you consider that you'll have two ports to do 2.2->2.3 and sense rom -> non-sense one
It's still under developement, but have a look to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341466
[DEVs needed][info/wip] gb-sense rom 2.3.3 [ROM update in the second post - 20111217]
Enviado desde mi HTC Tattoo usando Tapatalk
Hi,
at the moment I use a LG GT540 Optimus, with a modded Gingerbread ROM based on the latest CyanogenMod. Well, I'm looking for a new phone and I find the HTC Legend very nice.
Even I haven't got it yet (will buy one in the next weeks), I'm asking myself which is the best ROM. I know that the HTC Legend is official supported by the CM7.1. But why are there so may custom MODs with other kernels? Which are most famous ROM projects for the HTC Legend and what are there advantages?
Also I'd like to know which ROM runs most stable?
Thanks
Right now I am with ogo2's RC4b Gingerbread 2.3.3 with HTC Sense 2.1+. Very beautiful ROM, also very fast, but still unstable ( random reboots, etc. ).
But still, I can offer you to go to the Development Area (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=610) and see the amount of available ROMS and read user's reviews
There is no such thing as the best Rom.
Try them and find out.
Every developer puys an effort to give a good Rom.
No point in this
