Hi people,
So I bought my htc magic long time ago when it actually came out. And Ive seen two updates so far. One was the Sense UI and the other one was 2.1 update.
However, htc Magic is super slow in everything. example: I click on App Killer and it takes 30 seconds to load up the list lol .
I had a friend to had Xperia X10 and he managed to remove some Rogers app from his phone and do some stuff on the phone to make it be faster than what it was.
So how do i make my magic faster? Any ideas?
Info about my magic:
not rooted
android 2.1
Sense UI on it
Rogers locked
Thanks,
Kaveh-link.
Root the phone.
Change the kernel and overclock the device.
Remove unwanted apps....
Good luck
thanks for the reply how do i do all those you just said? thats the biggest problem here
I dont know how to root my magic and whichever instructions i follow its too complicated and I dont even understand half of the terms it says xD
maybe rooting would be the easiest part but how do I change the kernel? and what kernel do I use?
or how do i remove the unwanted apps?
Take a look at the first 6-8 threads... and you should be good to go :0)
Check the stickies in development. I believe that is where all that info is

I agree, all instructions are kind of confusing. Alot of text and I hate reading...lol
I think the rigers HTC magic's can't be rooted. People say they can, but every time I try I always get operation denied or no premissions using the su commnad. if anybody has a step by (less text)on how to do this it would be great.. if not, I guess I will wait for a new dual core to come from rogers.
Well I found an application that roots magic with a click and unroots with a second click.... but that's not my problem.. problem is that I want to make it faster and I can't find an easy way of doing it... and by easy it mean something not confusing.. i agree they write too much and make it super confusing... i guess I'll read about it everyday till I find a way..

U can download set CPU from the market if the rom u run doesn't have CPU controls and overclock your processor. Main key is finding a fast build though

I never used a root phone so i have absolutely no idea what it does.
There is no one single explanation as well beside some parts here and there.
Anyone care to list the advantage and disadvantage that x10 can access from root at current stage? (my main concern is just get froyo or flash enable)
I also want to know what can we do now. My wish is to have this latest ROM from SE but I want to remove from these apps:
E-mail
Voice Caller
Google Talk
User manual
Moxier x 5 ( I want to remove all of them )
Quadrapop
SIM Toolkit
Wisepilot
And that is it. Can we go back to non rooted phone and original firmware in case we need it for warranty reasons and how ?
Cheers
Would also like to know if there are specific apps for rooted phones? And what the app would do?

With a rooted phone, you can get apps that can change startup items, take screen shots of your phone amongst various other things.
-Twiztid
Can we also modify call volume
What is the hype then? If root
doesn't give access to froyo

Without root we are at the mercy of SE. If SE don't want the device to support Froyo we will never have Froyo.
With root it is in our own hands or more precisely the hands of The developerson here. Hopefully they will get the stock Froyo release and load it onto an x10 and get the drivers to ensure all works.
Unfortunately we have to wait until this has been achieved. Half of the battle has been won though.
I'd rather wait for updates from the devs on here than SE's devs! I mean root was promised and has now been achieved, but I'm still waiting on SE's updates, especially the one designed to improve performance and bug fixes.
To change startup items, install Startup Auditor from the market - it can do this for you without root.
Root should allow for better backup though, and for custom ROMs. Those are the biggest end- user advantages which I can see in an instant.

I just rooted my phone because I wanted to use the Market Access fix. Did that and now I got all Market apps, but now what do I do with the root? Can someone tell me some cool stuff I can do with the root of my Xperia X10?
get rid of your carrier apps xD
Lol yeah that was the first thing I did.

Root is useless, what you need is bootloader hack to enable custom roms to be install onto x10 like Android 2.1 or 2.2.
But bootloader will never happen because no one can crack it. The way it going I say never. These devs guys are not good enough and I dont think they're knows what they are doing ... just try errors.
Live with your x10 or get a real device like HTC or Apple iphone4 I say.
Just so everyone know I am a collector and I got em all (hTc, apple iphone, samsung, nokia etc) but x10i is not the best IMO.

Well considering the security that's implemented on the phone It's no wonder they're having difficulties. These developers mostly do it for free as a hobby and have created many great ROMs for other phones. What contributions have you made before you start rubbishing them and tout for business?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Install where's my Droid or some app like it as a system app so if u lose you're phone it wont matter if someone swaps sims or does a factory reset. U can still track it.
Use droidwall to limit what accesses data.
If u need support for certain languages u need root.
Use custom fonts.
Change screen density
And the list goes on...
what are apps i need and what does rooting do i was just reading that one click temp root
any advice thanks alot i am also new to rooting
Let me first say, CONGRATULATIONS!
At the beginning, forget rooting.
Here is what I did:
1. Mess with all Android settings.
2. Put tons of music, videos, photos, roms, etc, onto memory card.
3. Set ringtone, wallpaper, organize homescreen, and do "basic" customization.
4. Set up Google Voice(most people don't have this as a main step, but I do since I love this app )
5. Download must-have apps(for me gameboid is one), install, and set them up.
6. Sync all accounts, get contacts on the phone.
7. Disable things you will not use, such as the photobucket app.
8. Whatever you want, now you can root
While doing this, I would recommend running the battery from 100% to 0% and using a battery measuring app such as battery left inorder to "calibrate" your battery. Whether this is a myth or fact on whether it improves your battery life, since I see people arguing on this a lot, it can't hurt to do it.
He pretty much covered it.
Just enjoy the phone and have fun with it bro.

you might also want to get an invisible shield or a case of some sort to protect the phone as well
If you don't like bloatware, take a look at this thread.
Honestly, doing temp root on the G2 is absurdly easy with the VISIONary app (mentioned in that thread).
so what exactly is the point of a ROOT what will i be able to do other than overclock?

I come from a world of vibrants, and still trying to figure this HTC out..
unlocked on at&t limted to edge only, makes me sad, but the phone is so nice, it makes me glad...
Heres what you do send it back and wait for the Mytouch 4g.

Have you clicked on the "problems" key in the homepage of Titanium? It's prompt you to download the latest version on busybox, press yes. Also is superuser giving it permission.
I saw that it had busybox, but you are correct, that fixed it... Thanks...
As for waiting for another phone, i cant seem to keep a phone for more then 5 months anyway, i am always changing...
for now, the new toy is a G2, and i must say i like it
yeah, it's good
Hey everyone, I have the phone rooted but can't seem to find a wifi tethering app which works good on G2. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Hey All,
Does anyone have a list of confirmed features thats going to be added on the official 2.2 ota update. I've searched around for a bit but can't find a simple list of what's going on it and what's not.
E.g Is it getting wifi tethering (apparently so) and is it going to get apps2sd?
I'm pretty sure it's not getting full flash support and I'm betting it's not going to get Live Wallpapers either (Unless it's on a custom ROM, but i'm not interested in them atm)
Thanks a lot
It is getting a2sd, and wifi tethering, thats about it. Definitely no flash support (ever) and no LWPs.

If you are going to update to official 2.2, you can`t root. SO please, think before acting, we don`t need another person to whine about not being able to root, we have enough of them
don't say ever xD

My computer hates everything about the rooting process so I decided to wait for the update.
Additionally, I found a site earlier which claimed the update carries a performance boost and an increase in battery life. Both of which are needed tbh :L

I decided to install froyo.
There are no live wallpapers
jit is not enabled
wifi teathering is
so is apps to sd for supported apps
the camera now works in portrate mode
but still only shoots low res
there is no flash 10.1 but the flash lite as found in the eclair rom is there
IT WILL UPGRDE YOUR HBOOT AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ROOT
and the app backup function has been hidden

Hardly. If you look around the forums a bit, people are complaining far more after the update about lags, poor battery life et al. The only solution is to format phone + SD, and, after that, it is normal, but, there is no "gain" over 2.1
For me its running at the same speed

So I decided I'd give the new official update for the HTC aria a shot despite all the talk about not being able to root it yet. So far some pretty important things I've noticed is the fact that there is no sideloading. I saw someone on here say that it would be able to sideload - incorrect. The second big thing is the fact that it does not have the touchpad button wake. You have to use the power button which is a huge flaw for me. Someone also said that it would be capable of overclocking- as far as I know right now I don't think you can, but I can't be 100% sure yet because of the lack of sideloading and the 4.99 for setcpu. Some of the cool new features I do like is the mobile hotspot capabilities, live wallpapers, and the market update. So now I want to see what others have to say about it. Please come tell me what you've found!

Did it work?
I want to understand ..
The updates are made automatically?
If I purchased from ebay the device in 3 / 3 and it had not arrived yet, am I expected to see within 2.2 and unable to root?

Did you purchase a used phone? Was it already rooted? Did the seller install the latest update from HTC/AT&T?
The 2.2 update from at&t is not an Over-the-air (OTA) update. It's offered by at&t via the HTC web site. The update, therefore, takes work on the user's part. It's not automatic.
That said, if you purchase a phone from eBay that is factory fresh from at&t, it's possible it already has the 2.2 update - I put the odds at 50%.
For what it's worth, the only thing wrong with the stock build of this device's ROM is the at&t bloatware/crapware. Other than that, it's a solid device, and there are ways to customize the phone to your liking.

don't worry about side-loading.
Use the stock HTC sync software that came with your Aria - when prompted to update, don't do it!

If it is what it looks like, (US version/AT&T branded) then you should be able to root no problem with unrevoked

I'm not sure about enabling RTL support, but I think people have been talking about it on these forums.
At first my phone felt quick when it was processing, but initial response to screen presses felt slightly laggy. I was concerned. But after running it for a few weeks now, without a task killer, it feels like quite a quick more featured phone. Seems like there was a calibration and optimization duration there. Maybe it's in my head? Very happy with the upgrade, especially for apps to SD!
Oh, and add gingerbread keyboard from the market and the phone is twice as good!

You can do side loading by using android injector. You can find it at at harmonyhollow or softpedia. Just type in Android Injector at google. It also allows you to install multiple apps at the same time.

How do you get Apps to SD to work on this rom?
In the past I was using Darktremor's a2sd preinstalled on the Liberated Aria roms.
I am now on the Liberated version of the rom (thanks to Gene Poole - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970272), but I don't know how to do apps2sd here. I have my sdcard partitioned with ext3 (512 Mb), but it's not getting used automatically.
