Newbie questions - need Android Market on device badly - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

Hello All,
This is my first post here. You guys have been very great with hacking the Androids and reading the posts have given me immense knowledge on Android dev too.
I recently took a HTC Magic in India - where Airtel and HTC screwed up to disable Android Market app (wtf: they advertised that the device comes with Android market - damn Airtel and damn HTC). No worries - I am using alternative stores like SlideME or directly downloading apks of my apps.
Device info:
Sapphire PVT 32A Ship S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.0010(SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
My setup is very much comfortable for me atp, but I am extremely tempted to do an upgrade to Hero ROM as detailed by our friend @karrderized here:http://www.karrderized.com/romguide and
Now that I have questions:
- Will upgrading the ROM to Hero - give Android Market place back?
- What is the Android version of Hero ROM. Is it still Android 1.5 SDK?
I tried search in the forums, but unable to find an answer to this specific question. Looking forward to your reply.

Glad you like my guide
Yep, assuming the ROM you flash has the Market (which I'm pretty sure all do) it'll be available on your phone after flashing.
And yep, the Hero ROMs are mostly 1.5 (Cupcake). Some ROM makers are including bits from the Donut prereleases as well.
Make sure you choose a 32A ROM for your phone!

fastboot wont work on your spl, I have the same SPL. Without that you cannot flash what you are looking for

we have to wait for the root and then downgrade to a different spl

I am also having magic device from HTC and have the same configuration.
But would like to say that it was our ignorance and were not aware of the actual configuration of the set before purchasing. HTC never mentioned about Market or google apps on its Indian website.
And yes you have to wait till there is a known solution to flash our devices. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=535221&page=20

@KarrdeNZ I have a HBOOT-1.33.0010 - so stopped at Step 3
@smartwild yes fastboot did not work
@[email protected] HTC didn't but Airtel did: http://www.airtel.in/wps/wcm/connec...roid-phone-the-htc-magic-for-airtel-customers
The Android™ powered HTC Magic opens new arena for customers and the developer community to interact in order to bring new applications to Android-based phones. The introduction of the Android™ platform in India is a step in this direction where innovation, development and deployment of mobile applications are encouraged in an ‘open ecosystem’. The Android™ platform not only gives Airtel a faster go to market capability but also helps to provide more rich & varied service offerings for all Airtel users while creating commercial viability for small developers/entrepreneurs.
Damn Airtel then waiting for HTC to release an official and better ROM upgrade that I can use - any news on its availability?

When you are able to root your device download market enabler to access paid content... you can fake other providers and buy using google checkout... http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/

Good news
INdian HTC magic got updated by AUS ROM update.

Testing our secure phone software (Raseac Secure Phone).

Dear Sirs.
I am deploying our product next version, the Raseac Secure Phone.
Currently our fixed line version is totaly free, with AES 256 bits encryption, CBC mode and random IV cryptography, and if you want to use your HTC hardware to do secure fixed calls, you need to buy the socket sdio 56k modem (see this modem at socketcom.com).
Currently we don't tested our product under the CDMA netword, and we are asking for some help if you have a couple of HTC equipments and a CDMA-CSD (Circuit Switched Data) available.
Our GSM-CSD version have a limited time of one minute for each call (we need to make money selling our full cellular version ).
Our Quick Install User's manual version 3.0 will be deployed next week, and currently we have only our 2.0 version manual. If you have interest in taking a look in our product, i am ready to support you.
We don't tested our product under WM 2005, only with WM 2003, if you want to take a look under the WM 2005 operating system, i would be glad.
I am this product developer, and only one.
This version is very nice, i am working hard in our next version (we will have a lot of good news in this new version, but for the moment i can't disclosure the news).
Please go to our main page and download page in order to download the Unlimited fixed line version and the freeware one minute cellular version.

Any contact, please send an e-mail to me:
Thank you.

WM 2005 certification
When will it be certified for WM 2005?
Raseac working with WM2005
I will test our system with wm2005 next 3 months.
If someone could help us testing our freeware version with wm2005 (the freeware allows one minute of secure conversation for each call) , i am ready to support him.
The freeware download is available in our site (http://www.raseac.com.br). The new 3.0 version english manual will be ready next week, currently we have only the 2.0 version.
Cesar.
This sounds very similar to cryptophone, is their any relationship to this company??
Cryptophone relationship.
We don't have any relationship with cryptophone.
Our projects are different, both have the target of doing secure phone conversations, both use the GSM-CSD data channel, but both have different security design.
Cryptophone is an hardware/software, our product is a software.

GPS just check out

Hi guys...
can somebody check out this link: http://www.foxytag.com/en/presentation.html
cheers pinta
interesting - if only it could work on wm5 smartphones ...
I don't get it. In the UK, radars have to have their positions publically published (try saying that drunk!). Hence apps like Modaco's CamerAware
http://www.modaco.com/START-HERE-About-CamerAware-t246087.html
However, the foxtag app must work on a database of positions, and/or a web interface. That could almost certainly be reverse engineered, but since it's a university, they will probably opensource or support new phones if requested.

FIRST POST
I'll start with another simple question I cant find an answer to:
WHY CANT WE JUST PORT THE G1 ROM TO THE POLARIS?
#2 reserved for update
I will try to search too
I will try to put as simple as possible. Building a ROM requires combinig two parts:
1. Kernel/drivers part.
2. Applications and stuff.
In case of Windows Mobile part 1. in practice always comes from official HTC Polaris ROM. Part 2 comes from other official HTC ROM (could be other phone) and it can be modified by cooker.
We do not have a full working Polaris Android ROM, and we cannot just cook without part 1. Part 2 is available as Android sources are open.
The reason why we did not have 3d driver working on Polaris immediately after first Diamond ROM was available is that part 1. is not transferrable from one model to another.
Part 1. in Android is Linux kernel. We must get involved in Linux kernel developement for Polaris to bring Android to our phones.
why do we always want our phones to look like other phones. why cant we just be unique. we are windows mobile. TOP DOGG. i like windows mobile theme especially when its black. i like g1 but the design looks ancient. its not 2008 more like 1998

absolutely agree. Copying iPhone was fun the first 2,3 months. Why not trying to develop really good apps with nice UIs and make own ideas into real interfaces for throttle launcher, M2D etc etc - posibilities are nearly endless.
i absolutely agree. i havent seen not one cool program thats actually usefull in our daily life for windows mobile not since i had a treo way back.
programs like directory; that could look at your number and tell u the owners name and adress
stuff like that. maybe tell u when zip code the call is coming from. useful programs. not the crappy programs that just try to make your phone look pretty.
thats why people go to iphone, the programs are useful in peoples daily life but not windows mobile
Here we go

Are you new to the mobile device world?
We are not trying to get it to "look like the G1". We are talking about using a completely different operating system.. lol.. and you are talking about a black windows mobile theme and how the hardware of the G1 looks ancient.. lol..
Oh.. and "being unique" in this case would be having Android on a non G1 phone.. that would be unique. Windows mobile is not unique.

Developing apps and trying to use resource hog throttle launcher is nothing close to having a brand new stable device operating system.

Maybe we can develop better apps under Android?
Look at the apps currently available for iphone - hopefully Android will get better market penetration than Windows Mobile, and, because it's open source it opens up a whole range of possibilities for developers.
I say if it can be done, it should be done!

Thanks for the idiots guide dwardzyne!
So that very clearly explains the kernel level requirement.
OK. Second question:
With regard to part 1 - Kernel/Drivers - Can we convert the vogue version since it seems to have the most work done to it? What would need to be done to it to make it work?

Indeed kernel developement for Kaiser and Polaris is based on Vogue work. It slowed down because of SD stability issue.

I believe the sd card issue has been resolved on vogue and they've moved onto other things (camera etc). but it seems like its the end of the road for the Polaris - apart from rumors that someones supposed to be sending a kaiser or a polaris to dzo for him to work from. This kind of points to that dzo is the only person on xdevs capable of working at kernel level with a kaiser or polaris?? That cant possibly be true - can it?

He already has the knowledge... He wants to share his knowledge, if someone send him a Kaiser or Polaris, and will make it work... I thought there were plenty of users willing to send there old or half bricked kaiser or polaris... but still nobody send him one... as far as I know...
Nobody keeps nobody up to date in the kaiser thread... So I really don't know what is going on... But they still don't have a decent fix for the DMA (SD-Card read/write) problem (as far as I know).
Porting the G1 rom isn't a possibility, you first have to have drivers for our device, since we haven't got a driver to read/write to the internal memory (not the RAM), it still cannot boot .
I hope this project will really come of the ground finally... It's half way there... but still not finished (if you ask me, due to miscommunication and not working together of users, because they all want to be the first who got it working to show off with it... (so they are all working on the same piece of code, which is a waste of time if you ask me)).
Maybe one of us can contact DZO, check what he needs to continue our development. Because without the SD-Card driver we can't continue...

I'll contact him, I dont think there are many users who would just send a device worth a couple of hundred euros to a complete stranger though many would tell you they would at the time. With the P3D driver their was only one person who was willing to loan a unit for development - and that was only because they were in the same country. I was asking for ages before that.
is their any other way we could help him? surely the internal workings of a polaris rom coupled with the specs could be used if dzo would do what NuShrike did on the p3d driver which was tell us to try things he worked on? I'm sure there would be willing volunteers including myself who he could talk through it on the forums or on the #android room.
I can't offer to donate my polaris as its the only mobile I have.. but I would be more than willing to try things out on my xda or provide any other help possible to get this project moving.
Hopefully one day a fully working Android will be a reality on polaris

[April fools Prank]I-Spy: Know it All

For the people who want to know EVERYTHING about EVERYONE​
I-Spy​
3 Months of collarorative work between Madnish30 and myself, we've deceid to make our work public. Early tests made us realise this should be tested more thoroughly with our XDA members, so here we are.
What is it?
Well, let's say you've always wanted to know what kinky pics that hot chick in your biology class has got on her i-Phone. Now you can! With I-Spy, your Android device picks up the radiowaves from other devices nearby (approx. 15 feet) to access the users' device storage, or simply listen into their phonecall!
How does it work?
It's actually very hard to explain, but it comes down to this: I-Spy picks up the radiosignal and decrypts the GSM access codes to get access to the datastream. Then it cloakes itself to blend into the datastream and simply monitor all communication between the devices.
So can I see/hear the complete communication between two people?
No. It's limited to the device in the near vincinity. However, we're working on getting a reversed datastream decryption, so we can get the other device too.
Where can I get it?
It's being developed for Android and Windows Mobile/Phone 7. IOS will be added later. Expect a public beta in the next few days.
Download (Android ONLY)
Download the attached APK.
Do read instructions in post 2 before you run it.
We have only tested it on Gingerbread, so it should work great on that ( and other versions of android too ).
DISCLAIMER : breaking into other people's accounts can have legal consiquences, this is purely for education purposes. We are not responsible for legal consequences ( if any ).
How To Install :
1) Downlaod the attached file. ( according to your OS )
2) Just copy and paste it into your device.
3) Reboot device.
4) Click on the i-spy application in the application menu.
How to make it work:
1) Go near the victim ( victim must have his cellphone with it's radio on).
2) Turn the application on.
3) Enter the victim's cellphone number.
4) Wait till the application decrypts the signals.
5) Look at the data you want, classified under the given menus.
Enjoy !
Screenshot :
Me and Neo have worked really hard for this application, please consider donating ( donation link in the application itself ).
Feedback welcome.
WP7, WM, iOS versions coming soon.
Download Link ( for other than Android) :
---coming soon---
It is a bit slow, and hangs up while searching ! But it worked great otherwise !
Thanks for the share !
Wow, works better then expected
Accidently picked up a signal from my (male) teachers Phone..
Nasty stuff..
Just be carefull when using this!
Another question, is there a way to protect against this?!
Thanks, man !
Yes, good question. Actually a small tweak in the broadcast of radio signals from devices can sort this issue out, ( Only if network operators knew about this ). They just need to block certain type of decryption.
And yeah, please use it well. Please, don't use it to spy on other people, only for fun purposes !
Wow!
To be the 1st version is ok, sometimes it´s slow to open but it is fantastic!
Didn't think this would be possible, but I just tested it on my girlfriends phone. And it works! Creepy stuff.
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
if it was any other day than today i would be so inclinded to download this.
April fool's Software?!!!!
XDA Developers would NEVER stoop so low as to provide an april fools joke. That's preposterous.
Darn, the first one to get me today was XDA -
Good Job!
April Fools!
I never wanna read my mom's texts again xDDD
Dang, I was really looking forward to this.....
Update?
I get an FC when trying to open .jpg's on my G2. Do I have to download files locally in order to open them?
cant wait for my DHD to get official gingerbread so i can test this unless the dev releases update for 2.2 sooner than that
Please, tell me this is fake...
at first I thought its april joke ... but great work guys!!
i still believe it's a great app
nice job

[Q] lg p500 general query?

i have p500 for past one year and i want to grow my knowledge about smartphones , hardware, software , solid state electronic devices and of course usability! i am going to ask you some question about one of the revolutionary topic(telecommunication and integration of other devices in one smartphone circuits) of humankind! my topic is bit lengthy(and interesting for first time smartphone and android user) but hey devil in detail right!
part 1 - general
whats the main difference between hardware and software of a basic , feature and smartphone mobile! do 1 ghz of iphone processor equal to the computational power of 1 ghz desktop processor? why a feature phone browser have wap and pain to setup it than smartphone browser http! i know all the os and aps are made from programming language and framework,digital logic and circuits do different business companies just hire computer programmer to make living just to make things look and feel little different from one another(bada,android,windows,ios etc). ?
part 2 - future
how much upgrade p500 can take i have already checked rasheds jellybean rom(working but full with bugs) , do you think p500 can take all upcoming upgrade smoothly ? i know p500 have capability but not sure can his rom support upcoming android upgrade easily? can you really make a rom perfect for p500 like they work in high end phones?
part 3- applications
no one will spend extra money on a telecommunication devices if it cannot make him happy or play desire application! i need tts in hindi for android and a application of android which can translate english or other language pdf,,files,document etc to my own language(hindi) and then converted file can be read by tts in hindi?
i know smartphone is palm computer with some extra hardware attached to it (sensors,phone call,internet)! i have multiboot pc and not much problem installing uninstalling it! but for my smartphone i had to read and understand hundreds of thread and forums just to know root , flash and reinstall features! i had rooted, flashed , installed custom rom and then third and bricked my phone in a single day! now solved but for future troubleshoot want to know the difference between recovery image and baseband version ! do a kdz lg tool change the baseband and recovery,rom image simultaneously! i have now oxyzen 4.0 and v20d firmware and i heard there is v20e and further available so is there any benefit and safe wy to upgrade my firmware? i have also noticed that i need a recovery image or boot manager which can support all rom from different vendors and developers can this possible?
please answer my doubts! thanks!

1. Difference between hardware and software:
Hardware is physical, for example the CPU or memory or whatever. Software means that files in the memory.
A 1 GHz+ phone‘s CPU is not the same as a PC‘s one. On the PC it have more voltage and so it is working faster.
2. Nobody knows until which android version our phone can run. The only soloution is to try that.
3. Recovery is installed on every Android smartphone and tablet. In recovery mode you can wipe data, flash new ROMs or even flash another recoveries. But if you want to flash something, it must end with .zip
You need the baseband to call, send sms or whatever what needs your sim-card. Without the baseband (like when you did something wrong while installing new bb) you can not receive nor do calls, send sms or whatever.
