I am trying to get my wifes TMOUS MyTouch 3G upgraded to a newer ROM with Sense. I feel comfortable with the whole process of rooting and flashing a new ROM but would really appreciate some advice. I know she wants Sense but I want her to have a very reliable and bug free ROM. I am unfamiliar with the android scene as I have an HD2 that I flash about twice weekly to keep up on the latest and greatest and I myself don't mid a few bugs but I want her to be bug free. I am just wondering what ROM's would be good for her and if there are preferably possibly a Desire/ Legend type RM that merger Android 2.1 with Sense 2.0. I am sorry if this is the wrong place to put this request and I have in fact searched and I have found a few but I don't want to risk putting a bad ROM on her phone and scarring her off. Thanks for the advice I know you guys & gals will give me.
25 Views and still no advice?
Why aren't you patient lol. You make yourself seem like a jackass and bring up haters like myself =) 25 doesn't mean that every member that just viewed it knows the answer. I thought that was pretty basic common sense.
I viewed this and I myself don't have an answer either nor will I search for you. I don't know many sense roms for mytouch3g, since most or almost all of them are basically for 32A which require the 6.35 radio. You would probably know that if you did some work. I only know good sense roms using the 6.35 radio, which you can't use. so I can't give any advice here.
I read somewhere about carriers dishing out the sense ui roms? I don't know if that's with tmo but I heard other carriers are getting it
But, isn't there an official ROM released from HTC WITH sense installed? I know I am using it. It was released at the end of January.

I know I installed this and it works great. + it's official so it will just not install if its not meant for your phone and it is rather bug free.
I hope this helps.
the htc magic is a 32A board mytouch is 32B
Heya,
First things first, thanks for all the devs whom are working hard, for us to have android on our devices!.
And Now, to my question.
I'm new to Android, and HD2 as well, but after lurking around these forums checking on the various builds and what not, I Still can't figure some stuff out,
I See all these builds sporting "Froyostone" "NexusLeo" "FroYo" "With Sense",
I Don't get it, I Know "Froyo" is the new version on Android OS but what the heck is Froyostone? and does NexusLeo use Froyo as well? or is it Eclair?
Please please please help me make order out of this mess
Thanks a lot!,
Hopefully we'll have A working perfect build in the months to come! .
froyo stone is froyo rom(maybe incorrect term here) developed by blackstone they are all mostly just names of liberty. need to read the info to find out what version android they are, whether the have sense or not etc
Froyo as you stated is the latest version of Android. Darkstone is the chef of the FroyoStone hence the Stone in the name. Chefs name the builds anything they want as it's there version with certain tweaks. I personally use FroyoStone v1 and it seems to be the best and most stable I've found. In order to use any of these builds properly I suggest you drop a custom rom on your HD2 before messing with any of these builds. Reading up on the stickies in the HD2 rom developing section should help you with that. Once your ready to go you can check out the stickies in the HD2 Android development on how to get going on Android. Note: Read Read Read and make sure you understand everything as flashing a rom to your phone could easily damage your device if not done right. Hope this helps.

Every Rom is like a different flavor of ice cream. Some like fast and no extra features (vanilla), some like Rocky road. Any ROM you choose will give you a taste of android, however they're are 4 basic types in my opinion.
Vanilla style: No extras, just stock android
[BUILD] [18.08.2010] [darkstone HD2Froyo V2.1]
[BUILD][14.08.2010][Xcelsior's Android FroYo V1.00
Sense Vanilla style: No extras, just stock android using htc sense
[BUILD][07.08.2010][FroyoStone Series - V1
Then the feature versions. As in more functionality, based on the Cooker's preferences.
my persona fav- [BUILD][16.08.2010][shubCRAFT CM6RC3
[BUILD][17.08.2010][mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.5b
Thanks a lot you guys! I'm a bit wiser now
I Remember last year when I Had my Diamond, development just started, and now not only is it possible, it's even stable, back when I Tried it, it was all bits and pieces
Now I Have the iPhone and I Really do love it, it's good and simple, but last week I Saw my fathers HD2 running Froyostone and that finally convinced me to get the HD2, which by itself is a good phone, but with android support it's one of the best phones i've seen in awhile, probably even better then my beloved iPhone
Thanks a lot for you kind help!

probably??????? how dare you....how very dare you!
I saw my brothers new iphone4 the other day, played with it for 10 minutes (i know its not long enough to properly gauge how 'good' it is )...... SOOOO glad I got the HD2 instead of the iPhone 3GS I almost bought instead.
If you get/got yourself an hd2 AND get android installed too... i dont think it will be long before you KNOW the HD2 kicks the iphones' arse IMHO
Enjoy your new phone...enjoy it even more with the little green robot installed
***smilies all over the place, calrsberg special brew will do that to a man***
but you know there working on android for iphone 3gs its already avalible for 3g and 2g .....just a fyi

Haha Seriously? I didnt think the two would be compatible whatsoever. The iPhones hardware is pretty lame and lacking isnt it?

I did not know that cheers.
But yeah as the guy above hinted at.... iphone <4 tech doesnt compare to the HD2 IMO.... Plus I got my HD2 for quite a bit less than I could have got even a 3gs for. Im happy with my decision.... hell I was happy with the HD2 pre android lol
...Cheers for the info though, I'll let my brother know but I think he likes OS4, I thought it was OK but nothing special.... android would make that phone pretty decent I reckon.

I would've dropped that iphone on hard surface-and pretend that i dropped it by accident...
No seriously.
Am I crazy for want a port of the Rodgers 2.1 update?
I mean I do like the Cyanogen ROM's but I'd REALLY like to have a full working Sense ROM.
And seeing as this update was for the magic, wouldn't a port be fairly easy?
or does the SPL/Radio requirements pose an issue porting to other devices ???
BTW, is anyone working on a port of this or has "choice" died out due to everyone using CM?
You're not crazy, but I wouldn't bet on getting a port for the 1.2. In order to run it needs a completely different radio and spl plus other drivers. Even if someone "coerced" the kernel to run on the old spl and a radio made for another device, you'd still probably be lacking drivers for the touchscreen and the audio jack.
Even if the Rogers Magic and the MyTouch 1.2 are both 32A devices, the hardware differences are noticeable, making porting a very hard job.
That being said, I'm going to check out the price for a Desire from my provider. I've been waiting for this update since early spring and now that it's finally here, the bastards disabled multilanguage and won't release a proper WWE, unbranded version. The speed's nothing to brag about, either...

Damn >_<
Oh well, I just posted up my MT3G & Dask for trade for a MT3G slide or Nexus one
Haha neither will probably happen
Sorry to blow your bubble.
One more thing, could you please rename the topic to something like "official rogers 2.1 update on the fender", so that it's easier for other users to find the answer?
know its a little late but there isn't any need to do anything to the kernel at all
simply move the audio apk's from the 1.6 stock tmo rom for the 1.2 to the rogers package. i would imagine the same would be true with the video drivers
ill do some more research on this but thats basically all thats required
I am new to both smart phones and forums so bare with me. I have installed dark stones 2.2 with sense on my hd2. I have some issues and am hoping for some help. phone works, but I can't understand the caller. Battery life is horrible. Last but not least..... Screen freezes pretty often. Ar there better builds or easy fixes?

Hi, Are you using original stock rom? What radio version do you have( needs to be above 2.08 to work properly) Did you run the clrcad file before haret when booting into android? Was your sd card formatted before you put android on it. Battery life if not fantastic on any build as it's an os running from an sd card. I would recommend mdeejay froyo-sense 2.3 clean. This build is fast and stable for me and the battery is pretty good aswell. ( i used to be on darkstones builds before)
read the stickies in the development forum (DO NOT POST NEW THREADS IN DEVELOPMENT)
almost all of the new builds have fixed all the issues you speak of.
touch screen freezes, sleep of death, and robot voice.
make sure you read ALL the stickies in the HD2 ROM development section, and HD2 Android development.
you will need to put a new windows ROM on your phone. and possibly upgrade the radio firmware. (all detailed in stickies and related posts)
then load one of the new builds found in android development section and you will be good to run android all the time.
After playing around with a number of builds I found a EVO with sense that works great. Thank you

I am a complete noob and am ready to take on installing android on my T-Mobile HTC HD2. I've discovered that not all versions have FM radio available. I would really like to know which ones have over the air FM radio. Thanks in advance and please don't hate me for asking
I've tried a lot of builds and have been very happy with this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918899
It's not the newest build, but it's fast, stable, and it provides great battery life. It has the best FM Radio implementation I've experienced on the HD2 so far.
Good luck!
