Simple question...
I'd like to know if the rumors are true.... Are us Magic 32A users going to have the Sense UI (Hero) ROMs in October?
Does this mean that maybe, just maybe, we might have working bluetooth headsets and LEDs in a ROM that's built for the Magic?
I noticed that the HTC Hero and the HTC Magic 32A (Rogers) have identical specs, so can we expect similar performance and features?
Open to discussion, and I'd like to see some ROM developers state their case on this one too.

HTC has announced that Hero will include multitouch support. Since much of their Sense UI is hacked onto Android, this makes me wonder:
Are they exposing an actual multitouch API for Android developers, or are they overloading an unused property (e.g. MotionEvent.size) like Luke Hatch's homebrew multitouch does?
idk
but whatever htc did ..it looks awsome..the ui on hero when its full speed is soo stunning and the mutlitouch is so smooth
Is "full speed" acheivable on a Magic?
Do you guys think its possible to port the rom over to magic? and get the upgraded UI?
Thanks
there is a port
from nk02 but its a little buggy and alot of the features are missing but htc said theyre gonna make the updates available to htc devices running android..so if you plan on getting that samsung youre sol if you want rosie..that is until the brilliant minds here port it

Since they are exactly the same thing save for the shape of the case, yes.

Some magics (vodafone branded ones) have less RAM than the hero.
HTC's CEO stated that they're going to slap the sense UI on an existing HTC, which will probably be the sapphire
actually if you flash the nk02 hero rom
it has multitouch
HTC has announced that the sense UI WON'T be avaliable to t-mobile and vodafone users since the whole google issue they have, they didnt say anything about the "other" htc branded phones like rogers but m assuming updates will be avaliable to those.

Once the Hero is out, we'll have it on our device.. no needs to wait for "official" HTC releases for the Google's branded phones, this is XDA-developers!
I cant help but feel that I have been somewhat cheated by Vodafone for the less ram issue, they pulled a fast one on us. If this is what stands between me and the new Sense UI, then i can tell you that we have not only been robbed by Vodafone but by HTC as well. With the money I spent on this phone, the new Ui is the least they can do.

Thats what i like to hear. I cant wait until this day comes to try it out.
Not a single one of these replies has been relevant or on-topic.
nobody knows
what they did
Ok so i have some dirty time with the new fender mt3g.
heres what i pulled off it so far

nice..a 32A set..i assume this will be bumped to 2.1 or 2.0.1 by t-mo in a few months. this way we all can upgrade to android 2.x without having sense ui..i like this..
does this run the sense ui?
I notice it runs donut, an official donut+sense would be awesome.

no sense ui. This is basically an upgraded MT3G. So it is still a google experiance phone, therefore no HTC customizations on it.
which is even better
the only thing that is upgraded is the new 3.5 headphone jack and the paint...other than that, same freaking phone.

Well for us in the us its a little different. More ram and more onboard memory. Also comes with a snazzy 16gb card. Class 2 though.
I have to give it back today. So is there anything anybody needs off this bad boy?
Did you notice if it had a different music player???
Like you pointed out this myTouch has the 32A board vs. the 32B board in the other myTouch devices and therefore has more memory on-board in addition to the 16GB microSD card and 3.5mm jack.
It also comes preloaded with more music.
I think T-Mobile would be in a strange situation should the Fender myTouch get the 2.1 upgrade and the regular myTouch not get it. People will complain either way I guess until finally you must leave behind the old at some point and cut off upgrades.
Yeah it has a new music player and a bunch of fender sponsored music.

It might not have Sense UI.
But once the devs here get their hands on the Rogers HTC Magic dump of Android 2.1 + Sense UI you will be able to load it up onto this phone.
With a bit of work I'm assuming since it will probably be shipped with a perfected SPL (I'm guessing 0013 is a perfected SPL)

How is it better? =[ Sense UI is awesome!
Would the gold card method work to root this sucker? I think the "1.2" mytouch will have this hardware, so there should be a few of these floating around. would existing roms work on this or would they slight modification to work with different hardware (3.5mm headset Jack)?
music player
does somebody have the music player from the fender mt3g?
The fender mytouch music player app looks just like RockOn.
RockOn is open source so they just might have played with it...
At least it's inspired by RockOn music player
Thanks for the info. I will try it.
Its the HTC music app, possibly the same one on heros?
So this is a 32A with 288MB of RAM, and a 2.22 Radio version...
Does anyone if it's possiblve to get the radio.img from this device?
Reason I'm asking is that I think that if this radio could be used on a 32A, then it would allow the entire 288MB of RAM to be presented to the OS and still run 32B(ish) ROMs...
Any information would be great.
Thanks,

Thats so dumb of tmo to make the MT3G have 192 while Fender has 288..I would feel cheated if i got the Mt3G with less ram. But average consumer wouldnt know the diff.
That is B.S.
So HTC shouldn't make improvements to their hardware because early adopters might be upset? I don't get that rationale. Isn't that the way the technology ball rolls?
Anyhow, let's get back to rooting this sucker (also keep in mind future MT3G/Magic will likely have the same hardware, minus the guitar shell and preloaded music apps).
I wonder if an engineering SPL (1.33.2005+) would work? Would current 32A roms jive ok with the different radio this thing has? Safe to assume ROMs would need some modifications to accommodate the 3.5mm headset jack?
Thats has android version 1.6 or higher
Simple Answer: There isn't a specific one, it really depends on what you're looking for.
Long Answer: There are a number of Sense ROMs for 32A systems and two that I'm aware of on the 32B. I only have a 32B and so I can't comment on 32A. Of the two available on the 32B, neither is stable enough IMO for every-day use, but they're getting there. Your best bet is going to be to look around and research all of the available ROMs for your phone, paying particular attention to what isn't working and matching that up with how you use your phone.
There is no Android 1.6 Sense UI ROM for mytouch.
All Sense UI ROMs so far are Android 1.5.
The best ones are MLIGN 3.2B or 3.3 or KingKlick SenseHero Hybrid 2.3
what you didnt specify was which mytouch. new or older version, difference being to you, a headphone jack on top. If there is one, then no, there are no hero/sense type roms fo rus yet and wont be for at least.. acording to assholes at HTC, about 60 days for them to release the drivers we need.
If you have an older mytouch, find out if its 32a/32b depending on your country. Then its a matter of your radio and SPL which I suggest you do ALOT OF READING up on or you will have a shiny paperweight
Howdy developers,
I'm very new to this modding community and understand no modding slang =[
I have a Vodafone HTC Magic and my friend has a HTC Magic with 3.
His Magic has a sense UI update and has lots of cool applications etc that I cannot get. Has anyone created an android 1.6 OS with sense UI? or anything similiar?
Thanks!
The Vodafone branded magic is the same as the T-Mobile MyTouch 3G (32B).
Any of the ROMS marked [32B] in these fora should run fine on your phone.
Be wary of the different radio and SPL versions required.
There's heaps of information around and most of the people on here are very helpful and friendly.
Good luck and happy modding!
Hmmm mine is vodafone branded, but it-s a 32A Magic!
Check the box, it should tell you what kind of phone do you have.
First, start by knowing what kind of phone do you have, and work youre way up. The pieces will fall like in a puzzle, and pretty soon you will know how to root, change a radio, flash a rom, etc...
Best of luck!

start phone while pressing back+power and give people the infomation you see on the fastboot screen
It also sounds like he is running 1.6 which doesn't have Sense. For sense you'll need either a 1.5 or 2.1 with sense. Sense is nice but I'd rather use 1.6 than a 1.5 but if you really want it then I've had good results using Cursorsense. A 2.1 rom might not be stable or fast enough yet.
check your vodafone site, in portugal was already released the new version ROM with sense ui.
Looked everywhere for this question but will the 2.3 gingerbread upgrade install the hid bluetooth driver to htc's with the sense UI? someone please answer the question been looking everywhere for the answer
I was checking out the specs in the HTC Sensation and noticed it supports HID. I don't believe sense 2.3 supports HID, only because I haven't seen anyone mention it. And it would be a BIG deal. But apparently sense has changed their ways and we may see this feature ported to other roms. It seems sense is kind of fragmenting though, because the EVO 3D's sense appears much different than other sense's I've seen built off gingerbread. So all hope is not lost
Edit:Sensation is on sense 3.0. .. .most updated phones will be receiving 2.1
