Im scared to flash a new rom - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

i have the google ion and im quite happy with its stock rom but all the roms you guys have out here look oh so tempting. So here are my questions
1. Can i back up my google ion rom?
2. Does the ion already have root?
3. If i cant back it up, is there an official stock rom that i can use?
thanks guys

oh man
i should leave it as it is ... i mean... don´t do anything

why ????????????
why ???????????? are you telling him to leave it ?
Look if your going to do it you will do it dont worry about messing your deviice up it makes you learn how to fix it , i came from htc elf to magic and know nothing about the magics spl roms etc and i knew i would make a mistake somewere along the line which is fine and good as im forced to learn on how to fix it .
Sure enough i flashed it and it got stuck on 2nd boot but after playing and playing i fixed it and understand a lot more about my device so dont be scared mate learn . !!! you have support here just ask and you will be helped asap . enjoy learning happy flashing !

I also have a Google Ion and I have tried at least 3 different ROM's. I currently use the custom Ion ROM.
1. Yes you can backup your current ROM/images using Nandroid.
2. No it does not have root
3. I don't know for sure.

thanks man i appreciate the support so i went ahead and flashed the hero rom optimized ..and man the rosie was ..pretty..but laggy..so i disable the rosie ui and went back to the original everything was good but the internet browser was awful..it lagged and i cant zoom..but the htc camera is a god send..the original was awful in low lighting..this one its great..but thanks guys for replying

I almost did the same thing as you
Got my Magic last week,.. couldn't stand the vodafone splash, wanted to change it (but was a bit scared..)
After 2,3 days on a weekend, I rooted my Magic and started to experiment with ROMs. I tested Hero (also found it too laggy even after "tweak"), Rogers G2 and now nk02's ION. I also changed the splash screen so now I am kind of happy with my Magic..
But i must addmit (after seeing those cool Hero shots) I wish there would be a fast, nice and clean Hero rom (i dont need Rosie, i would just like calendar, contacts, dialer, camera,..) I have a feeling it might come soon ,,

try this rom;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524229
It has the new camera & dialer... not calendar or contacts though. Also has a few other things too.
I've tried most now, and for me this is the best so far, for me anyway.

Sorry but if you want stable, fast, you need Amon_RA's ROM.
Cyanogen Roms rocks but this one is more trouble free

Not to sound like a smartass, but don't forget that there will ALWAYS be people having problems with this or that and every ROM, including the official ones, is essentialy just a work in progress.
Hey dude, try this:

Maxqc- Thx for the link, some ppl having issues with this rom too, I guess that I will have to test it too see how it goes.
Donut with exchange does that exist for magic?
I allow myself to follow up on the request in this thread. I have searched a bit around - what I am looking for is a donut for magic 32A with exchange abilities. I need corporate mail as well as calendar. Does that exist - do I overlook something? I want to go beyond 1.5 because of the ability of using new programs. I could wait for Eclair, but it seems not to be near stability at the moment, and maybe the problem with camera will not be solved? I don't need sense..

Rom SuperEclair V6.1 Based in Cyano & OpenEclair

First, forgive my poor English.
For Magic 32b / Dream g1
Superatmel'm from Spain and I first of all thank all the members of this forum for everything I've learned thanks to you.
Well, here I leave a rom based on sources of Cyanogen and wesgarner & Ctso, thanks to them for their progress, I only use the best of each in addition to my own improvement in certain parts of the rom and kernel configuration .
Thanks to Wysie for Nubdial
Includes SupSetup v4.04, will shortly be translated into English.
Video does NOT give otherwise is a very fast and stable rom.
You can find the rom in my Wuala
I leave with some catches.

Superatmel,
I would love to flash your ROM as I posted on www.htcmania.com.
The port you created for your 32A SuperCSDI ROM did not work for me and I am running the new radio. I was able to flash the ROM successfully, but my phone got stuck on the boot screen.
Is it possible for you to create a 32A port for your SuperEclair ROM and one for the new Magic radio 6.35.10.18?
Thanks
need 32a port for old radio or new radio is ok . thx
.........deleted..............
Go to the following thread for current SuperEclair ROM and 32a ports:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=638589
The port is for the Magic 32a with the new radio.
I am not responsible if you brick your phone.
Note: The first time my phone booted after flashing, the ROM did not load. The phone automatically rebooted a second time and was then successful.
The English translation is complete.
Here is what I did to install the ROM on my Magic 32a (new radio already installed):
1. Download the ROM from Superatmel's link I provided above.
2. Download the EB1 port from the Rapidshare link I provided above.
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Wipe Dalvik-cache
5. Wipe SD:ext partition
6. Flash ROM.
7. Flash EB1 port.
8. Reboot.
My phone did not fully boot after this first try.
It automatically reboot and was successful on the second try.
I think I read on the dev's original thread this might be necessary - I can't remember.
You need radio 6.35.10.18, SPL 1.76.2007 and either recovery-RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.5.2 to get this to load on your 32a Magic.
If you do not know how to update / change your radio, SPL and recovery don't proceed or go learn how.
You will have to manually enter your APN or restore it from a backup because the dev does not include the APN list for North America.
Wow..thanks dude. This a stable and fast ROM?
Thanks.
So far for me it is as stable as they get.
And it's fast.
Give thanks to Superatmel and everyone who contributed to his ROM like Cyanogen.
I am just spreading the good word
it is GREAT that we have some new ROM aand someone who wants to DEV! Its getting slow, now that the main DEVs have really slowed down on all development, cause everyone got Nexus Ones so more focus is going there. So its really someone new is gonna have to step up and take over and be a master DEV, and make some badass ROMs

I feel my English but I just want to comment that the kernel of this rom is 100% superatmel. In other roms if he use Kernel Cyano but in the latter .... He did just.
ANd the rom is the best test and try many before XD
At first it is slow (the first 2 hours) because it creates the files needed by the system as the system needs it. And then ... to fly!
Personally I recommend the launcher 1, the nexus of the Magic slow down a bit.

No, good catch. I don't use my camera so I hadn't caught that bug. That is the first force close I've gotten.
I checked the Superatmel's post and thread at htcmania.com
It looks like he's not going to work on the camera or video and has chosen to wait for the the HTC drivers / code. I hope I got that right and am not misrepresenting him. I am using Google Translate to read the posts.

No, it is not mandatory.
If you prefer a 1.6 ROM that has everything working, Superatmel also has his CSDI ROM which apparently is up there as far as ROMs go:
Here is the ROM:
http://www.wuala.com/superatmel/Sup...CSDI por [email protected] la evolución de las CRDI/
But you will need a port for 32a old and/or new radio. I haven't tried the port for the old radio but here it is in case someone wants to test. You should be fine as long as you know what you're doing....The port for the new radio works good. This ROM is much faster than his SuperEclair.
Here is 32a EB1 port for old radio for his CSDI ROM:

Flashing right away will edit with my feedback. Thanks in advance.
Okay, its been quite a few hours since I am using this rom. Home and menu speed is very smooth and fast. but when accessing call log or messages, it takes a few seconds to load. Look and feel wise, well it looks okay until u press a button or enter text or when you look at your download progress.. it all has boring blue background/border/progress bar as well as purple check boxes. That I personally don't like. Otherwise this rom has the potential of being one of the best.
Btw using AutoKiller gives a great speed advantage.
Oh and upon usb connection the notification bar likes to retain its spanish norms despite changing the locale to English.

Hello, "skr_xd" I was looking in forums and find out Kumar's Android ROM nice to see you here I used your WM ROM's.
My story is pretty the same as yours I also was WM user and ROM tester and I had HD2 (just for 4 months) but when I started to use Android on it I understand that I need better phone so here we meet again. Both with same device.
I wish you good luck to create ROM's for DHD and I'm also new to Android ROM's so if you wold like to work together with me please PM me. Maybe we can make something interesting together.
