is there a way to get wifi tether for root users on the I/O device to work. Seems like there is something missing from the os. I saw an outdated post where it says to upgrade the kernal but stops other things from working and didn't want to do that. My friend also on here is trying to make a rom for the device with the hero theme on it and I asked him he said he will look into it but didn't really know. If anyone knows would be greatly appreciated.

It's built in to the Smartphone France ROMs
I'm also desperate to get tethering on my magic (running a hero rom) any help greatly appreciated, as i'm moving soon and don't want an ISP!
this has been answered before, if you have a 32B magic almost every custom rom supports it, and if you have a 32A magic the answer is not possible for now.

There's the first benefit of having a 32B over 32A! I'm not as upset about my 32B anymore Though this will change, i'm sure.

it's true, you can rub the tehering app all you want in our faces but at the end you will never be able to get more ram but us, we have a high chance of getting it to work lol in your face?
I had wireless tethering running no problem on my 32B. The thing is, I've installed so many ROMS lately that I can't remember which one I had installed when it was working. All I know is that it was a Hero ROM.

To be honest, I'd swap my 32B for a 32A right now, even if the tethering app never worked on a 32A. I just want more ram after seeing a HTC Hero running with Rosie.
If there's only a ram difference between 32A and B then why doesnt the Tethering app work already? I thought all it required was root access? The 32A has been rooted... hasn't it?

Download the .apk from here and try installing it manually?
tether
Yen if you have a 32B board sapphire you can look back a few posts and flash my hero build which is a port from jac dream build to the magic hardware. It has wick tether built in on the rim and works fine. The one with the wifi fix is back a few pages. Bur works good and quick.
Hey all. I got my Roger's Magic in route from Canada to the US and should get it in the next few days. I am excited to finally ditch this devil iPhone.
The #1 thing I use my phone for is web surfing, so I need the surfing experience to be top quality and better than what I already have. I have used a stock G1 and it is certainly not up-to-par. However, from the videos I have seen of the Magics and Heros with MultiTouch and Flash, that is obviously the way to go for me.
Q: Is there a non-Hero rom out that has both MultiTouch and Flash for the Roger's Magic?
I say non-Hero rom because I see that there are a variety of bugs with the Hero rom, including bluetooth headsets. If there are not any roms out then I will try whatever the latest/greatest Hero rom is.
Q: Is there any roms out since the release of the 2.0 Doughnut OS to developers a couple days ago?
I noticed that the release notes for 2.0 include multitouch, but I do not know about flash. If I can get Android + Multitouch + Flash and keep all functionality of the phone working, that will be perfect. I can probably live without Sense UI till they get the kinks worked out.
Sorry for the long post!
side note: if you order a rogers magic and you are on tmobile you will not get 3g, just edge... and if you are on at&t then you will get 3g.
Q1: no, atleast not yet because multitouch on g1 roms is all done thru the kernel, we have to wait will htc releases the kernel sources... which is soon(or never). or for someone to figure out how to compile the kernel.
Q1: don't think so.
You'll have to go with one of the Hero builds, the only "bug" for bluetooth is file transfer which isn't a bug it's to do with the kernel.
Doughnut is not 2.0, and it is not multitouch someone jumped the gun on that. The only multitouch we have as of right now is through the Sense UI builds.

Excuse me for being stupid but I can't, for the love of God, figure out how the multitouch works on the Hero ROMs. I have the JACHeroski ROM on a 32A Magic.
I am used with the multitouch on the iPhone where you zoom in and zoom out with 2 fingers. Is this supposed to work the same? I tried it in the Browser and Google maps and nothing happened.

Works the same, in maps though. Browser and pictures work perfect, back to Finality 1.2.

In the maps it doesn't work for me. In Pictures it does. Browser works as well.
google maps doesn't use multitouch... yet

I can certainly live with no file transfer, since I don't use that anyways. I was going by the information on the wiki to determine that Bluetooth headsets didn't work. I guess that the wiki is quickly outdated.
How does one sort through these threads to find one that is the best working Hero - Rogers - Magic rom? It seems like there may be several available.
Thanks again!
Which Hero rom supports BT headsets? Finality 1.4 does not and that is my current rom.
Sorry I miss typed, browser and pictures work with multi touch nothing else.

Finality 1.2 works for bluetooth headsets for me, 1.4 did not so I reinstalled the 1.2 ROM. It's a bit buggy compared to 1.4 but I like to use the Bluetooth in my car.

Oh no, so the wiki is right after all about BT Headsets not working
Hi all!
OK, so I had some spare time on my hands this afternoon and I came up with something pretty neat.
Ever notice how the HTC Hero and the HTC Magic 32A are nearly identical in specs? Same processor, same ROM, same RAM... Then why do all these devs port the HTC Hero ROMs over to 32B/Dream and then we get to try to port them to 32A? It always ends up being a mess of custom work and the problem of 'too many chefs in the kitchen'. I'm not slamming anyone's hard work here, but I wanted to find some other way.
The HTC Hero uses nearly identical radio and SPL as the new radio and SPL for the Magic 32A.
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-24-11-hero-roms-radios-in-update-zip-format/
My device:
HTC Magic 32A
Radio: 6.35.07.29
SPL: 1.76.2007
Hero ROM used - HTC Generic 2.73 (rooted)
Changes Made that affect functionality:
- replaced boot.img and wlan.ko from CursorSense32A-0.3
- Umm, that's it...
What works:
- Wifi
- Camera
- LEDs
Untested (because I'm at work!)
- Bluetooth (pairs with my laptop, but can't test audio or a2dp)
Cosmetics
- Bluetooth name is HTC Hero
As you can see, it already works better than the initial HTC Hero stuff we got from the Dream devs before.
Am I stupid? Why did I do this when there is already a proper HTC Sense ROM for the Magic 32A? Because right now the Dream/32B devs have in their possession the HTC Hero 2.1 image and it's being ported to 32B/Dream. And now we're left trying to port these ROMs to the 32A platform. It's kinda like driving from New York to Toronto via Mexico City.
I'm excited to try some of these tactics on the Hero 2.1 ROM. I'm sure it'll work very much the same.
Why so many threads?
awesome work cursor!
This will probably kick start the Magic 32A development and the Rogers Dream.

I prefer to keep a thread on topic and not always change the subject. This is a new topic.
Mods merge if necessary.
If you get it working I would be more than happy to update my SPL.
will the flash cause the it to become perfect SPL?

Keep up the great ideas. Now this really something I'd like to see developed. Sounds like this could really clean up some code for us who own the Rogers Magic
Thanks

I can confirm this method works since I just did the same thing.
unfortunately, it did not work on new Hero 2.1 ROM. The screen stay black after HTC magic logo.
I am in
Keep it up. I can also Make Testing and even Making ROMS
Just tried Hero-ASOP 1.6 and its running. No wifi, camera, etc. but everthing else seems good.
And by everthing else I mean google synch, maps, browser, market.
Like the title says I am new to the Mytouch. I rooted my Sprint Hero about a month ago and I love what I was able to get out of it. My girlfriend seeing my happiness with it has since asked me if it would make her Mytouch run better. So basically she wants me to root her phone and add a good ROM. I have herard of cyanogen and all but what would be a good daily Rom for her. Just something quicker and better on battery. I know what setcpu can do for my phone. But whats the best for a MyTouch3g? Thank you in advance.

Depends how she uses her phone... what firmware she wants (1.6 or 2.1) and either Vanilla Donut or s Sense rom
Needs more details on exactly which MyTouch 3G it is, as right now there's 4 variants
- MyTouch 3G (v1) with 32B SPL (aka Magic 32B)
- MyTouch 3G (v1) with 32A SPL (aka Magic 32A)
- MyTouch 3G LE (Limited Edition Fender, 32A)
- MyTouch 3G 1.2 (32A with headphone jack)
The last two are essentially identical, and are currently the only two MyTouch 3Gs actively sold (other than any old stock of the v1), but is also the only ones that has no real custom roms, if you want to root the last two you have to read very carefully which procedure you're using since its not the same ones as the Magic 32B/A. For example the only real working rooting process is linked in my signature for the last two and currently limited to the stock rom as being the fully functional one.
As you're probably already aware with your Sprint phone... you shouldn't just blindly flash radios/boots etc as you find them cuz it wouldn't be hard at all to brick the Fender or MyTouch 3G 1.2, by flashing a radio intended for the older MyTouches (ie: any thread that talks about Magic 32A or 32B)
I would be looking for a 1.6 build. I wanna give her something daily/stable and usable. Vanilla is fine seeing thats what she is used to. I duno what version of the MYTouch it is I know its not a Fender and it doesnt have the 3.5 mm headphone jack. When she bought it it was 1.5 and like a day later it upped to 1.6. Like with my phone I am doing my research. Dont wanna brick her phone. She would kill me and cut me in my sleep.

Since it doesn't have the 3.5mm headphone jack on top, it would be the original MyTouch 3G, which leaves you a lot of options both 32A and 32B (though you'll see a lot more choices including Cyanogenmod for 32B).
If she were to downgrade back to the 1.5 rom, I think CM has a one-click-rooting capability.
Instructions can be found here. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
After completion should have a rooted 1.6 cyanogenmod rom.

In that case i think Cyanogen is perfect because it's stable and usually gets updated every month or so and not all the time every week got to flash a new update with new problems
Yes I am very new to android. I managed to root mythouch 3g 1.2 to the fender rooted rom. I am just confused completely on the 2.1 roms. What is porting? I did the unlocker method with no problem. I had an epic fail trying to install a 2.1 rom! Mainly cuz I can't figure out what the heck all this porting and partitioning is. Any help would be appreciated so much!!
All that you can read here on these sits.
It must be the 32b that has messed me up. For some reason I thought the 3.5mm jack was on the 32a. That would be a good reason for that rom not working. Man I'm getting bad at this kinda stuff.

NOOOO.. the 1.2/fender are ALL 32a boards. There are NO 2.1 roms for our phones yet because the drivers/kernel source have not been released. So for now, just use some of our themed roms. They work great and look great.
Again, NO 2.1 roms will work.
I had one pull up but touch screen was not working. I'm begging to think they just threw this phone together. I see some say there r roms but they have no bt and youtube. Or am I just that lost? I can live without bt and video.

Ok...
HTC has not released the source for the new touch screen drivers or 3.5 jack. So, if you would have read ont he instructions you used to root the phone, there are no special roms for our phones yet. Thrown together? It has a brand new touch screen and a new headphone jack that was not in the older version = no way to use them yet.
So, in these instructions you rushed through, you would have read that the only roms we have are the fender rom and the themed roms.
We have one 2.1 rom working from STokes. But you have to search it down in these forums under the Mytouch 1.2/fender threads.
Not trying to be an ass here, but its obvious you did not read fully before rooting your phone.
Thanks for the help! I was misunderstanding my phone config. I thought I had the 32a. That's why I was lost! Sorry! Although I did read it....and flashed it too! That's why my phone went stupid on me! Boy did I miss a big one there! Well I do appreciate the help all the same! That cleared all my confusion up.
Ok my phone says its a 32a ships s-on G. So how is that correct and work?

.. what are you asking? You showed us what board your phone is using, sooooo what? I need better english to understand you. I have no idea what "how is that correct and work" means. I hope you're not giving us your phones information so we can hold your hand and take you through step by step.
I also don't understand how you can't find information about all this porting and partitioning. I'm a normal member like you, how was I able to find all this information on these forums and google but you can't?
Can you do me a favour and start researching yourself rather than asking a bunch of questions that are already answered. You've already posted in the wrong section, and you obviously haven't tried hard enough. You didn't know if you had a 32A or 32B at first, which is the most basic thing of all. This is why people like you brick their phones. You totally just guessed which board you have.
Then you complain about the touch screen issues when it's all explained in the process of how to root it, wow. Get ready for flames if you continue to fail like this. Please read things more thoroughly and post in the right section.
What I guess I am trying to ask is the G or H relevent in any way? I understand the boards. I have been told It was a 32b then when I rooted it I rooted the wrong file. Which would have bricked it. That is why I am asking all the questions. It works fine with the fender root. It just doesn't seem to work loading any 2.1 rom at all. And yes I have tried 32a and 32b. The 32b 2.1 loads without the touch screen working. 32a 2.1 doesn't do a thing, just freezes. Does that help explain it a little better for you?

You got a 32b 2.1 rom to boot??? which one please. If you can get it to boot, we can then flash the kernel over, reboot, and get things working.
I wasnt flaming you, I was mearly pointing out the fact that every single thing you asked, you would have had to have known before rooting the phone.
Yours says G... which makes no sense considering its a 32a HTC branded phone (maybe the 1.2's are different? because the fender is an HTC branded board.
We here, just get tired of people that say they have searched... yet its blatently obvious it doesnt.
Now that stokes has given you the 2.1 rom..... Now we have to hear you ask 15 times now why the Bluetooth and Wifi wont work.....
Stokes 2.1 loaded for me and it is 32b. Just the touch screen didn't work. I would say if it wasn't for my phone it shouldn't have had the droid saying touch to start. None of the others did that at all. Here is where I got it from.

Oh now.. we have a fuly working stokes port working minus BT with touch screen. I was gona post it fo ryou but max file limit here is to small. Tomorrow when im not drunk Ill search a link down or get stokes to give me direct link. Im running it right now andf other then BT and youtube not working, it is so purdy with the live wallpapers. with the extra 32a ram, it runs just as well as the nexus one. If you have talked to stokes, ask him for his 1.41 Fender/LE port. Full wipe, Skip google sign in and sign in through market for sync. After that you will be very happy .
So the 2.1 rom works?
