With the death of my G1...I decided to move on to Sapphire...
However, I don't have a phone to test my skills on anymore..and like many others...I'm abit afraid to hack on a new phone...
I got myself a google Ion...however I have been wondering the difference between Magic as well...Can anyone comment on this?
Also, has anyone been able to port over the exchange server function that HTC Magic has to ION?
Thanks for the help out (still confused with reading all over the place)
Eh, "ION" *IS* an HTC Magic.
The ION is a HTC Magic with google stuff and 288mb ram instead of the Vodafone Magic's 192mb.

No the Ion is the Magic with 192MB of RAM.
Yes I understand the fact that the ION is HTC Magic but with engineer bootloader and spl..
However the version sold as HTC Magic rather than Google Ion has different Rom.
Other than the fact that the Rom alone is vanilla or basic rom with google stuff on it...what is the difference from the HTC Magic Rom? (Other than Exchange function and a list of local APN)
as mentioned many times on these forums,
the HTC Magic is HTC made so it has support and a few other software changes like the framework and kernal i believe.

I recently upgraded to a T-Mobile MDA Compact V and having spent a few hours playing around with a customised version of the HTC Touch Diamond2 interface I used the Hard-SPL to flash the ROM with an original ROM, which I would like to add is much better.
I then starting thinking whether it is possible to replace the Windows based OS with the latest version of Andriod packaged with the HTC Hero. The HTC Touch Diamond2 and the HTC Hero appear to have quite a few similarities in terms of specifications so would it really be difficult to install Andriod...???
If any one knows then please enlighten the rest of us.
Thanks,
Khaz

A lot of people are working on Android ports for WM devices. Having said that, I would wait (unless you are a programmer, someone with the knowledge to do this, or simply an adventurer with high chances of getting an expensive paperweight )
Look in the threads (or Google) for Android port +WM or something like that. Good luck
BTW, you should have posted this in the Q&A section...

Its not 100% yet, actually its kinda buggy, but so far its the best.
But not for long!

Check the G1 Development section, almost all ROMs released there work on both G1 and Magic 32B. The G1 has a 32B baseboard as well.
Some popular Eclair ROMs are called OpenEclair, KingKlick's and Manup's. HTC has not released graphics or camera drivers for the 32B, so currently there is no camcorder, video or YouTube HD on 2.0/2.1 ROMs. The still camera works only because someone figured it out on their own.
Sapphire Dev seems to have become focused more on 32A and the few rare Magic-specific ROMs like Amon_RA.
This seems like a really obvious answer if you know it... but i have been looking high and low to figure this out. Is android 1.6 working fully on the HTC Diamond 500 CDMA (Telus)? I keep seeing things such as the GPS, Bluetooth, and data don't work on version 2.0.1 so I was just trying see what I was getting myself into if there's extra work
It's been a week and no replies but enough views... So is that a no? does no one know?
Is Android 1.6 (Donut) working on HTC Diamond?
Yes. Check Xandroid website. You can install android on your SD card, and also install Gen.Ydualboot.......meaning you will have two OS ( wm and android). I have got them on my HTC HD.

Does everything (Camera/GPS/Mic./etc...) work? I've recently seen that Android 2.0.1 (Eclair) has made some progress but that is still not able to run these things which personally would render my phone useless
no man i was using android on my diamond for a long time, the system is good but sometimes the bugs are just @#$%^.....
That's why I got a cheap second hand HTC dream. I can say this phone is just so wicked! full keyboard FTW!

Hi everyone,
First, i'm new here, and I love this site
Second, I'm from Belgium, so if you can't read what I wrote, it's normal, I don't speak english very well.
Third, there is my question : could you make a list for me, with all mobile phones, in which i could put Cyanogenmod (and if i could root it of course). Because I'll maybe change my Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 because i saw in another forum that it's impossible to make a Cyanogen for X10, and also because X10 is very late for updates (I'm on Android 1.6, 2.2 will be released in March 2010).
Thank you for your help

Ok thank you I'm sad xD
Do you think Cyanogen will never create a ROM for our X10 ?
And if not, are there other really nice ROMs for X10 ?
I don't think X10 has been rooted yet, so I don't know if you even load a Custom ROM or flash a new image.
SE said they will get Froyo for X10 in November(?), while keeping Eclair for the X10 mini, X10 mini pro etc. In another "unofficial interview", CEO of SE said that they are planning something big, I think this is a PSPhone since Sony had failed to even announce a PSP2.
I'm guessing that the rumour was true, and SE will announce a Froyo phone that will be able to accept Sony's memory cards and Sony will allow that device to enter the PSN (same as the PSP Go's Market). This phone will be a slide / tilt / flipout with the gamepad on the bottom, where the top layer is the touchscreen and SE's 3 buttons. I'm guessing it will be plastic and it will resemble the X10 (not a good thing).
It would probably have something powerful beneath it; definantly 1GB LDDR2 RAM (or more) + 1GHz A8 processor (or more) + SGX540 (or more).
I also think it will have a miniHDMI connector like the HTC EVO 4G, for presentation/gaming.
All in all, it will (have to) be better than all the smartphones on the market including the N900/Milestone2/GalaxyS/iPhone4 and it will definantly be expensive (on-par with the iPhone4 or even more expensive since Sony is a greedy company).
If you can shell-out for it, you won't be disappointed ... the Playstation name is too valuable to stain!
Thank you for your answer Ekin, even if I didn't understand everything
But on xda-dev on the forum, I found the way to root it, but I'm not going to do it if there is no ROM to add :'(
Thank you
Hello
At the moment I am developing a open source FiedlTest app for the HTC cellphones with a Qualcomm processor.
For comparing the values, I use a old HTC Magic. But the responses on my HTC One or HTC One S are a little bit different to the HTC Magic. Can sombody tell me, what are the Listview entries of his FieldTest app on the Rogers HTC One X? I would be interested in all pages. A screenshot is attached.
Thank you in advance.
Felix
Interesting app, did you solve the issue you were having?
is this app still in development? I could really use this for T-Mobile LTE field tests im doing.
