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).”

Hey guys. Been off the scene for a while.
Which are the fastest, most stable ROMs out there now? I know cyanogen, but now I see ROMs coming up with Donut + Hero, are there any good ones for 32A?

There is no such thing as "best rom" since we all have difference requirements for our mobile. Just find a rom there will cover your needs and decide what you think is best for yourself
Hi WaterMan
Welcome back.
I am currently torn between CaSense 1.1.1 and Magic GyD 2.1.1.
Both are excellent ROM's. I don't use Bluetooth so I usually flash the 2.6.29 kernel, which is faster than the 2.6.27 kernel.
Both are fast and equal in functionality, but for some reason the Magic GyD seems a little heavier on memory resources, but I have not experienced any problems with speed or lag on either of them.
And both ROM's are, in my opinon/experience, bugfree.
Hope this helps!
EDIT: These are of course Sense ROMs. Magic GyD also offer a nonSense ROM, but I have not tried it. I'm a Sense-addict.
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? )
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 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...

Hello there guys,
I am a newbie android user and i just got HTC Magic at my hands. I had HTC Click before and had rooted & flashed it to CM7 but it was clear and straight with auto-root one click and flashing rom. Now i need help 'cause I have no idea what to do to speed up my HTC magic 'cause it's waaaaay too slow!
Here are it's specs and my questions:
HTC Magic 32B (from Germany, The Vodafone one)
Android Version: 2.2.1 official
Baseband Version 65.50SJ.20.17U_2.22.28.25
ALSO
Sapphire PVT 32B Ship S-On G
Hboot-1.33.0013 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO - 2.22.28.25
if needed!
These are things I know about my phone.
So my questions are:
1) Is there a way to root & flash a custom rom so i can speed up my cell without the danger of bricking it (i read some things over the forum for such problems in my version 32B)
2) Is the cracked rom (CM for example) version faster than the official one?
3) If it's not safe can i downgrade to 1.6 official rom so it's faster?
Considering i'm a new user please answer accordingly.
Thanks in advance for your time and your answers,
M.
Use superoneclick or gingerbreak to root.
Flash a custom recovery with rom manager.
Cm dropped support and the last official version for the magic is 6.1. It slows down over time.
Ezgingerbread is the fastest gb rom for d/s.
Dreamteam froyo is a quite fast froyo rom. I recommend it over cm (and I am not biased at all /sarcasm). I am currently running a web site on it with great uptime and good performance.

hello there and thanks for helping!
i did rooted my cell with gingerbreak and did the 'recovery AMON-RA' thing
but now how can i flash a rom? is there any tut on how to flash SPLs and
Radios and ROMs? 'cause i'm a bit dizzy with all these new infos over here
Thanks again,
M.
btw i want this ROM to be installed:

You are already on the latest radio/spl so flashing that is a bad idea
To flash a rom just reboot into recovery and follow the menu to flash it.
Why Ginger yoshi? If you want fast, any gingerbread is a bad idea
i've put this ROM now and it's quite fast but not enough as i wanted. no serious improvement and it's lack of android's 'navigation' :/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882356
i think i'm gonna try this one, what do you think of?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=576893
If you want fast, gingerbread and sense ate the wrong way to go.
Ezgingerbread is the best gb rom we have.
Try my dreamteam froyo rom (should be in my sig). Its quite fast.
I finally flashed the DreamTeam froyo ROM and it's WAY faster than the previous. I love this ROM, thanks a lot for your help m8!
