HTC Dream(G1) vs HTC MAGIC (G2)

Hello,
Been looking for proper comparement of these phones for long time, but got, well, pretty unprofessional.
So I would like to ask differences of these phones:
1) RAM - G1 has 192mb, Magic - 288mb.
Does this difference really feels when using phone, I mean, interface response, video playback, programs running speed, etc.?
2)Internal memory - Magic has twice the G1. Im asking specific question about this - will this pay off in long run of rom development? I mean, both g1 and magic got 2.1 android running, and its fine, but g1 may suffer as the new version come in,in the long run for not having enough internal memory (newier versions of android OS requires more storage, so my question: will magic be more developable over g1 because of internal storage capabilities?)
3) Camera - well, on paper these phones cameras are same, but I read, that Magic produces a bit better images ( speaking of quality ).
Thanks for the answers.

Isn't the 32A magic has 288 mb of ram? Do you know the amount of ram on the 32B magic?

[Q] Long Term HTC sense ROM?

Hi guys, i have kind of finished with flashing roms on my tg01, i am going to put it at rest on a permanent rom. I have been using the rom in my signature for a month or so. There is a newer version but apparently not stable But this ROM is VERY good, it satisfies most of my needs. However i would like to know if someone could pls suggest other roms they have tried, that suit my needs:
1) Good RAM running Sense, no less than 50mb at any time. (i currently use arto's start removal, and manilla startmenu)
2) Speediness (good considerable speed, less lag etc)
3) Good ROM storage amount on flash
4) Bug Free (least bugs as possible)
5) Good battery life
6) Latest manilla versions (2.5 2016/2017 etc)
7) Stable!! (bug free messaging, prefably wm standard messaging, good sound quality, no random resets)
I am not really that bothered into the OS, but prefably i would pick 6.5
im sorry, does a rom like this even exist or am i dreaming ?
Please suggest me some good ROMS,
Thanks

It seems that you are dreaming
I nearly tried most of the roms here and this one is the best till now
Disabling start menu you have around 55 mb in ram which is very fair, and the battery consumption is good too

wait for k01 rom it can do magic i feel.
Android on way.

[Q] What makes Android so slow?

Im on Android since more a year now, starting with T-Mobile Pulse and since summer, going on with my HTC Desire.
My question is, why android needs this power of hardware, in order to run smooth. The old iPhone 2G got nearly same hardware to the pulse (550 MHz, 256 MB RAM etc), but was much faster(smoother). Ive read a lot about hardware optimised code fpr ARM7 or similar, but the performance is still poor, even with overclock on leedroid 2.2...
On my second computer with a intel pentium III Chopperine 933 MHz i could realy good surf the internet, even nowadays, or play games like battlefield 1942 or counterstrike.
Could it be possible, to improve the perfomance by hand otimising the code? Would even spend time on this, able to prog, but at first i want to her your oppinions.
Greets from Germany and sorry for my poor english

The fluid ui that the iPhone has is mostly because they use gpu accelerated support. Android for some reason does not and I think only minor ui features are done on the gpu, some phones might have custom work done and its why it feels more fluid or less slow.
The other thing is a iPhone is standard in hardware. You don't have the issue of a iPhone 4 with or without more memory or less. It's easier to code and optimize when you have only a set of rules.

What are you doing to your phones??
I have a Nexus One (same hardware as the Desire) and i'd willingly challenge any iphone 4 user to a speed contest

GPU accelerated GUIs make sense to me, but die missing feature in Android doesnt really make sense. As we know, there is an AMD Z340 GPU inside, could it be possible to make it boost the graphics in 2D mode?
What iam doing with my desire? whoa, even surfing this page without the xda app isnt really fun, just slowy moving flash sucks performacne in huge numbers, that websites arent rally usable at all when running a video.
Now on Desire, most thinks are running fluently, but there are still lags, even with the custom rom. Using the Pulse was horrible, while it got 550MHz CPU and 192 MB ram. remember, its a mobile!
Here is a german report about software tweaking, which could make software 5 times, if the developers would reconcentrade on the used hardware again, like they have to do on gaming systems like GBA or newer. GBA got abot 3MHz! but runs Pokemon very well. Now imagine what could be possible, if our operating system would be better written.
Question again: it is possible to do some tweaks on a kernel or eveb androiditself without being msater coder?

[Q] RAM question

Whats the best rom for low RAM usage? Please share your opinions so I can choose one rom haha
Thanks a lot!

Depends on your needs. Only for phone calls? Gambling? Chatting?
Slim ICS is pure basics.
I use BLACK ICE KANGORADE after testing a lot of ROM's with AirKernel 4.2 'cause it's the best allround ROM. Fantastic battery life, big mem support for a lot of apps, stable.
The best would be you test a few selected ROM's. Each 2 days a new ROM.
BLACK ICE KANGORADE, AOKP B38, KangyUltra, ASOP+ N8, MIUI, CyberGR.....

Like stated earlier, depends on your needs. You may benefit a little from bigmem support kernels if you do a lot of gaming. If it's just for day to day use, most ROMs offer the same RAM usage. Keep in mind Android handles RAM very well on its own. Just use trusted apps and you should be good(no memory leaks).

CM9 Roms are really good for having a good amount of ram
°N€×U$ $⁴G°

what's important is that you have to manage the memory yourself, this will make a bigger impact on ram than the rom does. get rid of anything you don't need: light weight launchers like Launcherpro uses 200k memory if you minimise the widgets, and FORCE STOP Facebook services when possible, it takes A LOT of ram. use no more background services than neccesary, clock/weather widgets uses ram because of their background services. i perfer slim ics, its da best.

[Q] How to reduce the ram memory for HTC one X

Now i using a HTC one X and using the viberX 4.0.7 rom cook of Venom
But the Ram always over 700mb,
could you guide me how to reduce the ram memory?
Thanks alot

You mean the consume of 700 mb of RAM, close those Apps that you dont need in background.

Also, RAM usage differs in various Android versions and UXs. For example, 4.4 AOSP is better with memory handling than Sense would ever be. On top of that, different kernels handle memory differently by different OOM values
