[Q] Froyo 2.2 ROM resembling original HTC one? - myTouch 3G, Magic General

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!

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,
v.

Decent Android 1.6 or 2.0 rom?

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? )

[Q] which stable ROM for magic 32A with android 2.2??

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).”

Well HeroLatte if you want all features to work. But there are lags in that rom.
Choclate froyo if you do not BT audio and the CAM
for the rest there is none so take your pick
for hero 2.1 is the maximum i think, it was my first android phone i have tested all 2.2 roms and they were bad.
HeroLatte 0.9!!!!
i think u can try Heroine 1.0.
Heroine is android 2.1
When do you think Herolatte will be updated ?
Soon, I think Goku had one which was soon ready, but I might be wrong
you can try genius-salla 4.1
sense 2.3 (lockscreen 3.0)
rom 2.3.3
fast but litter ram free and sometime crash home screen
but this's best,now
Sense rom
If it is speed and stability that you want then I would use a android 2.1 sense rom I recommend the rcmix one, bit if you are not too bothered about speed use genirus salsa 4.1 it is the best around!

[Q] Old sense on Android 2.3

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

[Q] Idiot Q. Coredroid v3 or v1.7 ?

Very very new to android (less than a month!), got hold of a HD2, ran windows for about 10 minutes and then wiped it and loaded up coredroid v1.7. (using 2.2.1)
Now after a bit more nosing around, i've found there is a v3 (using 2.3.3), but it's confusing me as the 1.7 has a later release date and logically that should mean it's had more development, etc.
Now i see the main CD thread has a teaser vid of what could be v1.8 ....
Am i going mad or just being simple? (there is a viable third option of both!)
Thanks
2.2 versions is Froyo, 2.3 gingerbread
to much differences to list, just search froyo or gingerbread.

Froyo 1.7 or V1.7 is more stable everything works. V3 or gingerbread works but it is kind of slow its like running gingerbread on a cliq! all Gingerbread sense roms are still under development due to different issues pertaining to our HD2 kernels. regular gingerbread from Cyanogen(CM 7) and MIUI are more stable and everything works. A kernel is in progress to get sense running properly but it needs more development. we will probably have Ice Cream sandwich on our HD2 before that happens but thats just my opinion concerning the latter(kernel development). Hope this helps.
Much appreciated, thanks.
