Vodafone UK HTC Magic Original ROM

Has anyone acctually got one of these? i have been searching for hours! basicaly ive flashed my phone with a Hero ROM but im not happy with the performance so i just want to revert back (i was too stupid i only got my phone for little over 35 hours and i didnt make a nandroid ) im just looking for a original, stock, out of the factory (or however you wanna name it) ROM. Please if anyone has it help out id be very grateful , i just want the firmware dont need the data

This is not a development related question. Moved.
And, why wouldn't you try another non-hero based ROM? It would run faster than even the stock ROM.

Youre absolutely right. I also just replaced the original rom with Qteck but it really crashes alot. And the speed darn it, its soooo slow.
Does somebody have a the orginal rom so we could fix this problem.

Well i take back what i said, Cyanogenmod is the ANSWER to Android phones. Its Fast, stable, with his update manager easly updated.
So IFlip92 i would advise you to try Cyanogenmod all other mods are just junk.

This doesnt help if you have to return the phone though, ?When i get mine back after paying for a repair becaus i had cyanogen rom on it i will upload the original rom as soon as it is turned on

Thinking of putting Hero Rom on my Magic from voda, would you suggest one please also does the on you have work perfectly as tho it was a Hero which you are using with the multi touch on internet browsing
Cheers James

Yeah, I too have updated my original magic rom to the hero. It looks great but runs like a dog, the lag is unbearable! Is there any way of getting the phone back to the way it was when i took it of the box?
I would love to get my magic back!!!

Your Magic with Hero rom shouls be running perfectly. I had the same feelings as you. What I did do wrong was not formatting and partitioning sdcard correctly.Once that sorted ,reflashed with Modaco's full version, everything is fine.
Other suggestion is to have a go at Enothers rom (t-mob) which is 100% perfect.

Problem with installing live wallpaper in wildfire

Hello peoples.
I'm new here, and sorry for my bad language =).
I am facing an issue with installing the live wallpaper in my htc wildfire. I have already go thru some similar threads actually, but I still decided to open a new thread to state my problem clearly. I'm sorry if I'm wrong to do so =).
I've actually found a nexus one live wallpaper ( with I'm desperating for ) in this forum. However, after I installed the .apk file, nothing happen. I have tried to launch it from astro file manager and it says "Activity not found".
At home screen, I choose to change wallpaper, and the live wallpaper doesnt appear there. Same goes to home, htc sense and my lovely ADW launcher.
I have seen people using that livewallpaper in youtube videos, so it should be usable for wildfire right? What is wrong?
Your replies and views are greatly appreciated =). Thank you

If you're using stock ROM, Live wallpappers are not supported. They are supported in custom ROMs.

and finally there's a reply from you guys T_T.
thank you so much buddy.
stock rom means, the original rom comes with purchase? ( i guess so ).
thanks for your info =)

Yes indeed, stock = original rom.

If load a custom rom to my phone & don't like it, would I able to load the stock rom??

I doubt froyo would add live wallpapers. By the way why are there no lwp on the wildfire? the hero has them with 2.1 and that has nearly the same cpu

[Q] Arabic for Tmobile mytouch 4g

How can I make my Tmobile mytouch 4G reads
arabic language?

It will be great if we can include the changes to get arabic letters displayed correctly. However, if you would like a workaround for now [untill libraries are migrated to mytouch 4G] here is what you can do:
Flash your Phone with Gorilla's Desire-HD port for myTouch 4G
Find Arabic libraries [online] for Desire-HD and simply flash them
I have done that and Arabic letters did display correctly and letters were connected as you would expect
EDIT: In case you could not find it, please use the attached update..
Thanks,

Thanks for your prompt reply.
Does the recovery 2.5.1.2 safe for MT4G?
Where could I find it? I found 2.5.1.3 in ROM MANAGER is that workable.

hi there... does the patch only works for desire hd ported rom? i'm currently using one of the 3.5 sense rom. can i use the patch?

No, you can't use the patch provided, it's for a VERY old ROM. The patch should be done for a ROM with the same framework as the one you're going to use - which means at least the same Android version has to be present.
But:
There is a patch somewhere on XDA, made by madmack originally, if I remember right, based on the Hebrew patch by the guys on iAndroid.co.il (AFAIK, 2 of them are the ones that integrated RTL support in Cyanogenmod 6.something).
I couldn't find madmack's original post, but here's a link to one of the patch versions, the "source" links to madmack's blog, I think :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410460
You can try to search for the original one using "arabic for any ROM script" keywords in Google.
Using this patch, you can add Arabic support to almost any ROM (MIUI has its own script, because of some internal changes that are incompatible with standard Android frameworks).
If you find the original one - it might be running like the current Hebrew patch - directly in recovery, patching the phone over ADB, without the need to extract framework and lib files and pack them back into ROM ZIP.

thank you Jack_R1
i'm not sure if i can do that. but at least that's the only one available now i'll give it a shot
i did it!!!
how can i thank you again? LoL

1 thanks is more than enough. You're welcome

I tried to install v6 at first, then flach v8 (without wipe) and there are still no wallpapers!
When I open 0001_WildPuzzleROM_v0.8.zip from the PC .. I see wallpapers there.
So they didn't copy during the installation?!
if it matters I root my phone with AlphaRev. In the moment I'm with recovery-clockwork-3.2.0.0.zip + recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-buzz.zip
see that:
Baseband version:

I did not go on cus I'm not sure is everything is going to be ok.

You're not alone. I have same problem, too. There's a lot more missing things like setup wizard, input languages other than English, etc... Not just wildpuzzle, same situation applies to some other custom roms I tried.
Weird thing is that there's no problem with old wildpuzzle 8.0.11. Maybe some dev would come out and compare it with others to find out what's wrong.

Did you expect a developer's software to be better than Stock version?

And what that suppose to mean??? :-/

I had same problem with my daughters wildfire she has s-off with alpha rev,I have s-off with xtc clip and never had this(I have wildfire too).also sunaabh rom same thing no wallpapers or scenes,so I used one of my wildpuzzle nandroids then did factory reset,wonder what the problem is?
HTC wildfire cyanogenmod nightly
hboot -1.01 s-off

@bynge: It doesn't matter even if you flash a ruu dude, I tried it. There's no problem with wildpuzzle 8.0.11. So in your words, does this mean wildpuzzle developer's work is better than stock?
Anyway, do you have any solution to the situation, or...?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

Same problem with the rom Jokerdroid and DK. I have noted that also the tone gallery in empty (if i open the stock notification editor for incoming calls i found the tones, when i search for them with other applications like alarm clock i can only use the downloaded ones)

Yes, and in my view, it is. If you cannot offer a solution, atleast don't troll.

Solution:
Install old version (131.9mb) -> everything is OK.
flash new v8(126.3mb) without wipe and still OK (wallpapers and scenes)
now tested other things.
sry for bad EN.

100%.
The things that are limited by stock version will be overcomed by dev software.
Personally i got S-OFF, bluetooth wireless pan tethering (kernel dependent) , live wall papers, better battery, and many other things.....
If everyone tells what they got benefited by dev software, then the list will be really huge.....
I also heard that wifi N and newer htc sense got enabled in devices that are not supported by stock (not sure about sense). Depends on what u consider. IMO, like i said 100%.

Can anyone figure out why there's not a problem with wildpuzzle 8.0.11? That could lead us to a real solution.

Try to compare the update-script files of both, and see if there is any part "missing" or something.
If both are alike/the same, then create a recovery-logfile just after flashing the latest wildpuzzle rom. Perhaps it will clear some things.

Could it be a problem related to AlphaRev?
this morning i've flashed an ruu stock rom and the problem is still here: empty htc wallpaper.
I doubt this is a wildpuzzle bug cause I've never flash one of those rom (only cyanogen, jokerdroid, dk).
the only things in common are alpharev and clockworkmode (i'm using cwm2.5) but the latter is out there since too long to discover a bug just now.

I restore stock and no problem ..

did you restore stock through recovery or the executable ruu?

I flashed ruu via fastboot using pc49img.zip method and problem is still there. Exe file always interrupted by battery lower than %30 error no matter what is battery level.
And yes, it's not a wildpuzzle related error. It happens in all custom roms and ruu except wildpuzzle 8.0.11.

Beta Test for BootManager(multi-boot app)

We've gotten alot of response from the Desire community so thank you all for your help. At this time we do not need any more testers for the desire. BootManager should be updated with support for the Htc Desire in the next few days. The app currently won't support rom's that use apps2sd and data2sd but our team is working on getting support for those as well. Thanks.
Hey guys my team has developed an app called bootmanager which went into the market today. The app let's you install rom's to your sdcard and boot between them. I had originally done an inc only version here that used your recovery for installing rom's. The new app installs the rom's directly through the app and then let's you boot between them. Anyway on to the point of this post...i'm looking for 1 or 2 beta testers to add support for the desire. You'll need a little knowledge of adb, root of course, and just a little bit of patience. So far has worked pretty well on every htc device wev'e tried so I'm confident we can add support for the desire as well. You can get a little more info about the app from the link in my sig or looking at it in the market. If your interested pm me so I can get the info needed for the desire(.i.e partition sizes and a few other things that i'll tell you how to find in adb) and I'll send the apk for you to try. Thanks for your help....

Very interesting app! Would hboot have to be compatible (ie right size) with all the installed roms or as they are installed to SD does it not matter?

by hboot your refferring to the bootloader? This doesn't change the bootloader. It makes img's on your sdcard which hold your system/data/cache files for the rom, then it edits the boot.img for that rom to point to those img's when booting. Then the app flashes the boot.img for the rom you want to boot too.

I would be very interested in trying this out as I pretty much change my ROM on a daily to weekly basis haha, I just can't stop! This would be a good way to nurture my need for all the ROMs I switch between all of the time.

Would this app work on a non rooted phone? I mean having the stock ROM in the phone and a rooted one on the SDcard. But I guess it wouln't...

No you need an unlocked bootloader to switch the boot.img. And root to do a number of other things involved in setting up the rom.

Once you go MIUI you don't go back I can't bring myself to use anything else LOL!

Oh I tried MIUI-XJ, it's nice to know that you're happy with it ^^ I used it for about three to four days and felt that I was using an iPhone more so than an Android and I prefer the feel/look of Android devices... I loved being able to theme it so easily, though. I like the transparency mods in NeoPhyte ROMs and bits and pieces of many others... I should just figure out how to make my own.
I hope that you got my response, Conap! My sent items folder said I hadn't sent anything but I am most positive that I did so I will wait to hear back from you =D.

Yeah, sure I could help with the testing... Do you want somebody with that knows ADB etc..?

got Miui XJ on phone rom and tried to boot CM7.
working without problems so far!

thank you. gonna look into this now

Should we run the update after the rom has been installed, so it updates the boot.img ? Haven't tried running the update.zip directly from bootmanager yet, but works fine from recovery.
Installed MIUI-108050 on my HTC Desire (stock boot/S-ON)
