32A HERO Roms Comparison - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

Hey guys,
I've received this weekend my HTC Magic (from Vodafone Portugal):
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
As you can see Vodafone is not equal in every countries regarding the choice of equipment. I guess that's good for me (or maybe not... ).
Well, having this, I've been reading a lot about flashing new roms, etc... as I would like to try a Hero ROM.
So far I saw the JACHeroski one as the most talked but not quite sure if it's good or not, or if there are any other good choices... Also Fatality one...
So, for those that have tried 32A Hero Roms, can you put here your experience in order to help us (the ones looking for these roms) decide?
Thank you.
Regards,
AP

Hi,

Yes ... this the best improvement => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532822

Yes just make sure to remove HTC widgets before pushing the lightweight Rosie.apk

The best one for me is JACHeroSki

I've found the ROM by redglass, version 0.8 to be the most complete, and stable of all the ROMS...and I think I've tried them all!

Why remove HTC widgets before pushing the new Rosie.apk?

As the Super Optimized Rosie have optimized PNG might have compatible problems with the current, So I assume that when you reboot your phone and relaunch it with the new rosie you might have error issue... (I have experienced it with l3wish rosie.apk (333 KB) : http://www.leakdroid.com/download.php?view.34 ) So just in case ...
I admit that with Fatal1ty_Hero_v1.4-ROGERS-signed ROM + Super Optimized Rosie.apk (coolbho3000) my HERO, ooppps Sorry..., my MAGIC runs real cool and I have it installed almost 3 weeks now and still loving this ROM...

[32A] Which ROM with Donut and SenseUI?

Hi,
I see Cyanogen mods are using Donut. And I see MyHero and others having SenseUI (semi-official or less), but still using Cupcake. I'm little confused and no FAQ or looking on last posts helped me... There is any ROM using both Donut and SenseUI for my HTC Magic by TIM (32A)? Thank u!
Ciao
it is not written yet as far as i know.
There is a one ROM with properties: based on Donut 1.6 and has SenceUI - it is experimental port from Tattoo.
Unfortunately, it's only for 32B-device, until devs make kernel for 32A
According this news
http://www.androidguys.com/2009/10/28/european-htc-hero-skipping-1-6-update/
HTC will skip update for Hero on Donut1.6, update will be on Eclair 2.0 based
Donut 1.6 is an intermediate platform.

Ah! good to know... but now the question will change: The Kernel is one thing and the UI is a upper layer. So we can suppose it is not hard to cook a ROM with the two things together... or not?

sorry for the ot:
htc says the update 2.0 will be for htc hero.. and for the magic? think htc updates?
The HTC Tattoo uses Android 1.6 with Sense UI
It can be probed in a 32b device with this port.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=574637
I think that sense will be for donut soon.

Magic 32A is almost identical to HERO (Hardware).
Looking forward to an Eclair Sense rom in the future but eclair has mostly new UI features so it would cancel out with sense UI maybe
sense is designed for cupcake so please wait
i believe that htc will release it soon 。
sorry for my bad english。

Dunno how much this helps but....

The MT3G still has the same amount of ram as the Dream which is why its slow but has more Rom 512 instead of 256 on Dream.
Once the Fender is rooted it has the specs all official Sense UI phones have so it can run a custom version just fine.

Fender has already been rooted. At least the solution has already been posted in the Sapphire forums. However, the Fender does not have the same RAM as all other 32A phones. It has 256mb instead of the normal 288, at least that's what TmoNews said and they posted a picture of it's RAM here

Yes but we still wont have any roms for a couple weeks. The fender kernel is very tricky.
Plus its 32a which means a lot of new roms will have to be made rather then ported. Open eclair will have the drivers in it soon.
I think I would pay money for a fully functional and performance-friendly (without swap anyway) Sense ROM for the myTouch 3G DD

32A Eclair . most fast and stable ?

What eclair ROM is the fastest and most stable ROM 32a, preferably with 6:35 radio. but not a requirement
I can recommend Kings Hero Eclair ROM. 2.1 with or without sense ui
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593704
There is a 32A patch, and i hear it should be working (got 32B myself).
Fast and stable, i've been using it for a cpl of months.
i put Kings 2.1 v1.4 on my 32a today with a special port file, there's no such thing as video on this ROM recording or playing, it can be a little sluggish but everything else is spot on.

It look like old radio rom!
I'm in the same boat...looking for an android 2.X rom (pref with sense) for the 6.35 radio. The only one I found on these forums wasnt stable enough
(Completely off topic: anyone know how to get swype? I'm currently running cursorsense but kinda wanna try swype...)

THANKS
amazing!!
this should work perfectly on magic after port!!
Great. Thanks for sharing the news.
32B Dream user and unrootable 32A Magic owner here awaiting the good news
Might this mean proper drivers and more MDPI apps across the board?
The Droid Eris is 320x480 so we don't need to rely on those HDPI apps anymore! Better Eclair roms!
Does someone want to extract some of the goodies out of this thing?
WOW!!!!
32B Port pls =)

thanks wil try this dump today at night
้here comes the good news
ROM version 2.26.605.2
Radio 1.01.00
Hboot 1.49.0000
None of those match with Magic/Dream build numbers
Files inside zip are dated Feb 11
unpacked system.img = 167 MB
So fitting this into a Dream is more than a stretch
I'm happy and sad...
This proves that 2.1 will run on a Magic 32A, but HTC doesn't find that important enough because providers are not selling it anymore!

Not true. 2.1 hasn't been released for any HTC branded phone yet. We are getting the 2.1 Sense update next month...

true that has not been released... but this a fully functional leaked version!
it would be great (if possible) to have it ported to magic 32a
Well someone could cross post this over in G1 thread to spread the news.
This should improve the performance of a lot of the Eclair bits in our ROMs, some of which are still hdpi bits.

I hope you are right. I just feel sad because HTC didn't mention the Magic at all when it came to 2.1 Sense, and now the Eris version leaks and that phone has the same memory/CPU specs as the Magic.
