Where is all the Sapphire modders?? - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

Im just wondering, when I look at the Blackstone or Dream forums, there is alot of cooks, that makes a lot of mods and tweaks for the terminals.
Where are all our cooks for the Sapphire?
Im just woundering, is the Sapphire dead??

The sapphire is just launched in most countries... hence the reason. Give it time.

And is still yet to launch here until next month.

tilt roms

Ok so I have been looking around the forums for a while now. I have noticed that there are a TON of roms being cooked for the 8125 and 8525....so why not the 8925 yet?
The only thing I can think of is that its so new, so my next big question is....When will there be multiple builders for 8925 roms? I am just trying to get an eta for some more fun....THANKS
8925 is the tilt, aka kaiser correct?
So are you joking right there are several GREAT roms out by austin, dutty, helmi etc. Gotta read young padawans. I had been a member of these boards for a good year before I started pasting, and that was just to thank the quick cooks for my lovely tilt roms.
probably referring to something cooked with att actual rom right? Something can use cv off the bat for example......
i am just saying if you look at all the other phones there are a TON of roms, while for the 8925 there are just a handful. is this just because it is so new? or it is really that much harder to make a rom for the 8925 (i think I read it was harder to create one for the 8925 somewhere)
Its a function of time. It took the chefs a while to get the broad selection of hermes roms out there. I am sure more roms, and even kitchens will be out there for us to play with soon.

T-mo Shadow theme for Wizard??

Hey folks, I've been looking around the board, (and net) for the stock tmobile shadow theme (link below) for the wizard (wm5 or 6) without much success....
Does it exist? Is it in the works?
Thanks alot for your help!

Maybe...
I'm not too sure that this would work for multiple reasons. One, I read somewhere that MS made this as proprietary for the T-Mo Shadow. Also, it's smartphone software and this is a ppc.
The biggest problem is that since it's a new product, no one knows how to dump the rom. I posted a thread under smartphone general to see if anyone would try with pdocread. I was hoping to port the Neo interface over to my aging mpx200.
At the same time, I'm excited to try this. If someone posts the dump, I assure you that it will be ported over to the wizard by our wonderful cooks. (me not included!). Of course, i'll be willing to try.
expiditous relply
damn that was fast. lol thanks ND4SPD
I know our lovely chefs will cook something up soon... it's just a matter of time... <rubs hands together with a sinister grin>... it's just a matter of time.
thanks theloon for giving the dump. i'll start messing with it for both my mpx200 and the wizard
just a matter of time...

So many Roms...but only one Kaiser!!

Guys,
I've always had HTC phones, since the original XDA - back in those days there were perhaps only 3/4 cooked roms available and so the choice was fairly simple.
I'm looking to flash my Kaiser with a rom that's speedy, feature packed and has something particularly snazzy about it!! I've had a look at Roms available...and there's about 40!!!!!
What I'm looking for is an unbiased view from someone that has tried a number of roms and can recommend a rom that's a significant improvement over the standard Vodafone WM6.1 rom!
Please, who'll be my saviour!!!
Cheers, Ash
I am in the same boat with you!
I am currently using and liking HyperDragon III Jade OS 5.2.19974 Build 19974.1.2.8 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397121)
I was stuck on PDACorner's series for awhile, as well as NATF, but it seems that the newer releases from them are unstable on my phone, in my location.
There is always something that will shine in this ROM and will not exist in that ROM. (Unless you cook up one for yourself - I haven't ventured there yet)
Well I'm gonna go flash today's ROM Your saviour I am not, just adding my $0.02.
ok....here's my non-biased opinion...
but but before that i'd like to tell u that this thread might be closed by the end of my post here...since a mod will tell u that every person has his/her own taste in regards to what rom is best...
now my opinion....
u have to know that we are living in the kaiser manilla craze right now....if u dont know manilla is a new today screen interface which is pretty much eye candy only in my opinion....
if you want a good wm6.1 rom (without manilla)...u can try the new garmin DK6 rom....but since that rom is still new and might have sum bugs...i suggest u search for garmin DK3 series which comes in 1-naked 2-light 3-full versions...just to get a feel of what his roms are about...
garmin's roms are one of (if not) the best wm6.1 roms for kaiser and are 99.5% bug free...
thats my 2 cents
note: im sure u know this already but please dont forget to either CID unlock or flash hard-spl before flashing these roms!!!

Thanks guys for your feedback so far - this thread definitely shouldn't be closed, a forum is for discussion about personal views, thats what we're doing!
I'll have a check of the Garmin roms then, sounds interesting - let me know how you guys get on flashing (LOL) - anyone else?
Garmins new DK6 is out and is very fast u must try it, his roms are simply great as are many chefs but his seam to be the smoothest
Hey there,
originally i was running T-mobiles wm6.0.
From there i have moved straight to:
[3 November 08] HyperDragon Jade OS 5.2.19974 Build 19974.1.2.8
which, in my oppinion, is a lot smoother and adds a lot more usability to the phone (E.g, i never had voice command on 6.0, Manilla didnt work as it should, skipping to a certain letter in your contacts list is now easier due to an iphone-esque side menu etc.)
Ok, so manilla is eye candy, may negate some of the tweaks and updates done for speed increase, but at the end of the day, over a standard ROM, its still faster.
The only issue(s) i can say i have had is that the touch screen seems a lot less responsive, and the speed gains were only really noticable when i used Kaisertweak and changed all the caches to as large as they would go, but it is still a very good and stable build IMO. Oh, and manilla doesnt support landscape view (although all other normal elements such as texting, contacts etc do)
I'm probably going to update within the next few days, there is a manilla update in the latest one (oooo) but that can wait a little bit i guess.
just my £0.02
i get kind of nervous with cooked roms... had a few bad experiences where i'd be hard=resetting and rebuilding 2 or 3 times in a day.
i put in the latest WM6.1 ROM posted here... had a few issues that needed to be resolved, but otherwise am very happy with it.

Official T-Mobile Mytouch 3G XDA-Forum???

Will there be an actual T-Mobile Mytouch 3G Forum or will it be mixed in with the Sapphire?
No kidding.
It deserves its own forum.
http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/...apabilities-and-sherpa-application-confirmed/
this site say that the device is htc magic it already got it's own forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=480
As far as I understand the original HTC name is Magic, no matter if any crazy mobile carrier change it´s name, design or specs, so if I´m right here´s the forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=480
And if so no other forum will be created, I believe...
I see your point but the fact is the Magic is european and myTouch is American.
Dont they also have different spl's etc.?

the magic is world wide, not just European.. Just like the dream was worldwide, but the G1 was US..
as a mytouch owner I dont see a reason for it to have its own forum.. Eventually it will get rooted & it will get its own how to root sticky.. From there its just another sapphire..

Wow.....Xperia has a european and american version
Touch Pro2 has european and american version
Touch Pro has european and american version
alot of phones have european and american version
What is your point?
I guess my point is..someone like you would jump on this thread and be a complete asshat and offer absolutely nothing of value.
The fact of the matter is Much that goes on in the Magic forum just doesnt apply to whats happening here in the states.

Then what about the Google ION.. Its hardware is 100% identical to the MyTouch as its also does T-Mo 3g here in the US.. Or wait we better not exclude the Voda version as it also uses the 32B board like the ion & the MyTouch & it even has the same amount of ram..
There is no reason for the MyTouch to get its own forum.. & This is coming from a MyTouch owner..
If the forums get too specific then the growth on what can be done stops.. Hence the CDMA phones that have there own forums.. There US only & pale in comparison to most of the GSM based phones forums that are combined.. Hence look at the Wizard Forum.. There are specific revisions that must be addressed when flashing roms But they all still get along in the same forum..
Fact of the matter is that if there was a forum for every phones individual revision then we would be overwhelmed as there has to be several hundred individual forums...
Edit: & Oh by the way calling someone an asshat for pointing out facts that contradict your small minded way of thinking is a pretty dumb thing to do..

Port Android / WM7 for HD2???

Hi Guys,
This is my first post.... I am firstly thankful to xda team for all their efforts and also to everyone who are working to fine tune WM6 and Android. When will MS learn all this? Damn Windows....(Hope MS is listening)......
Anyway i/everyone am/are totally fed up with WM6... Hope the XDA team is launching Android or WM7 for HTC HD2 (aka LEO) soon... Any NEWS/updates guys????
In short; yes someone (as in a lot of people) is working on both. Welcome to the forums, and check the threads and search function. You will find that threads concerning your questions are quite high in their respective sub-forums. Try and read up before posting, it'll make the stay here quite pleasant. Some people here are tired of answering the same questions over and over, and it'll keep the forums tidy.
very possible but i believe the developers said around end of this year for the android/wp7 on HD2.cant wait......
Well,WP7 is just around the corner.
As for Android,I tried it before but wasn't satisfied because it is maybe interesting at first but later it becomes really boring(Anyway for me).
The HD2's hardware can easily handle WP7 and Microsoft needs to change its mind:just because the HD2 doesn't have a bing key(I think that the problem is about this hardware key.Correct me if I am wrong) this doesn't mean that it is not capable.
@ForceField
Its not just the searchbutton. There are several hardware issues against the "new" mobile concept of MS. Especially the missing sd-card support or better MS don't wan't you to have changeable memory on your device, that might interfere with their "MS marketplace only" app source. That means there has to be much more internal storage in the device itself - like on the iPhone or Palm Pre.
It's definitly easier to become Android on the HD2 since HTC is releasing the nearly similar (hardwarewise) HTC Evo on Sprint - I guess this a nobrainer for the xda-chefs to cook the needed things for that.
microsoft must give an upgrade for htc hd2 because the wm 6.5 is getting boring....some of us loved it but would be great to give a chance to port a wp7 to hd2.. the android operating system is very good too...they made such as good phone as htc hd2 but they gave it away...the next htcs phones doesnt have even sense anymore if i am not doing wrong...after hd2 with sense they throwed away the sense and android came up more famous like HTC Evo or desire..!!!its too bad for such a hi-tech phone to stay forgotten!this phone needs some love so microsoft must give love ;-p and a special gift finally... !!!but at all thanks to god that we have xda-chefs to give us some real dope stuffs to hd2 in nearby ''future''....
ps sorry for my english... ;-p

It is definitely NOT a nobrainer putting Android on the HD2... the EVO may help a little.... but it is not the same hardware as the HD2. The nexus1 is closer hardware-wise to the HD2. They are using the nexus kernel as a starting point for the kernel they've been already working on for months. But they still have alot of work ahead of them. It is not the same as cooking a new rom. They have to port a working linux kernel.
Help......
God.... i am suffering with ORD... please help.
