Im confused, just got my MyTouch 3G and i was looking through the magic screenshot thread
and this is how i want my phone to look
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4232207&postcount=819
But i dont wanna mess up my phone so if someone could help me do this it would be greatly appriciated. if i had the money i would pay someone to help me but I just cannot afford it right htis moment but maybe in a few days i could pay pal some one some money for helping me
I basicly wanna root my phone and just be happy with android that looks great and i would love my phone to look like that....im already bored with android dxtop ahome and open home just dont cut it
You need to root in order to have the hero rom.
Sorry, but the current MyTouch3G cannot be rooted due to the "perfect SPL". You have to wait until someone figures out how to root the MyTouch3G before you can use any rom.
I wouldnt bother with the Hero Roms for the Magic/Sapphire/Ion/My touch
Fact is what you get in looks you lose in utillisation... all thats going to do is turn you off the device.
For a complete noob i would suggest

You wont get the shiny SenseUI but you will get a phone responds
Just my opinion

Well he can't go that way either , can't root the MyTouch. If you have the correct Magic (Rogers) has the same specs as the Hero minus the camera and headphone jack, you will get the same speed and performance as the Hero.
For the OP. For now you'll have to theme your phone for that look. Search the market for Openhome and use the Hero theme.

I have a HTC magic (with 288 RAM) and JACHeroski and the performance is acceptable. At work we have a Hero and my Magic performs as well as that one.
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
Been looking around alot for my first ANDROID device and thinking about getting the N1 but it seems the device has lotta issues.muti-touch problems,sms mms automatic deletion etc.....what do u guys think should i get it or not.if i flash the DESIRE rom will it fix all the issues the NEXUS has?thanks
I really like mine but if you are on the fence I would suggest waiting for something better. The OLED screen, while offering great contrast in doors, has serious visibility issues out doors. Also the cheap touch sensor really does suck. I have to use difficult controller layouts in game emulators because the phone has trouble recognizing dual touches on the same axis.
If it wasnt for those two issues i would totally tell you to jump on board. But i think you should wait for something similar with a better touch sensor and an LCD or Super AMOLED.

yea it would be pain to play multi-touch games if the multi-touch actually doesnt work well.i did checked few videos of the nexus one reviews and cons,overall its a good phone but maybe i shouldn't give google the $530 unless they fix all the bugs.but what if i FLASH the DESIRE rom will it improve anything on the N1?
There is also the hardware problem with the 3G radio design(search youtube: Nexus 3G Problem)

Yeah it has some minor issues, but the only one that actually bothers me is the crazy screen problem (which they promised to fix in 2.2), where you gotta turn the screen off and on to fix it. Which isn't a huge deal anyway.
If you're on verizon, and don't mind the design of Incredible, get that one. If not, then I say pick N1/Desire, they are pretty much the same (I prefer N1 because of the design and noise-cancelling mics).
Otherwise, doesn't matter which device you get, as long as it's android... this OS is freaking amazing, I swear.

There is no 3G problem with new N1s, it's been confirmed many times over.
love my N1 but the incred may be worth getting.. only 2 days away. I just don't like sense but since you are thinking of doing the desire rom then you must want sense and the incred is better than the desire in a few small ways.
also if you have time don't rule out the 4g evo... on sprint and verizon summer so the rumors have it.
I went with N1 because you get the android OS updates months before anyone else because it's 100% stock.
thanks to all of u but UNFORTUNATELY im with US t-mobile so i have done all my research of upcoming gsm ANDROID for this year but nothing stands out but the nexus one.i have checked if the INCREDIBLE or the EVO was WORLDPHONE(cdma service with GSM sim slot like the touch pro 2 in sprint)but officially they not.its really sad for us gsm carrier users.so i guess i might take a chance at N1 because its better than the current phone im using(hd2).
@GHOST99K
I think it would be better to wait for Google I/O. That's just 3 weeks from now and many things could change then
thanx im gonna wait another month and c whats up with google.
i really want the N1 but i love a good qwerty. wish Tmobile would get the Milestone isnt Motorola suppose to be working on the "N2 with a qwerty?" this would make me very happy.

i love my N1, but i wouldn't rule out the incredible, if you are looking at phones. and, if you can hold out, the evo should be a rockstar.
the incredible does have a few hardware one-ups on the N1. i have never had a problem with my screen only being dual touch, because i don't game on it. the camera is supposedly better on the incredible too. otherwise, they're essentially the same phone. and, because i'm rooted with unlocked bootloader, i am able to put the desire's (basically the same as incredible) ROM on it. i don't care for sense though. i don't know that the unlock methods for the N1 will work on the incredible, which may mean that you are stuck with sense on that phone, like it or not.
which may mean that you are stuck with sense on that phone, like it or not.

You can easily switch to the default android home on a stock sense ROM. All you have to do is go to sense in applications and clear defaults.
you guys make me think I should return my N1 .....

damn I try not to think how much I spent on it though, ridiculous...but at least it is not on a contract

Not on 2.1 sense thats stock. Thats only on flashed roms. I couldnt do it on my Incredible sooo...
That's interesting. I was able to do it with my hero. I am also able to do it with the fresh ROM, but Launcher2 could have been added and not included in the leaked Sprint ROM. I believe it was mentioned that the vanilla lock screen was in the leaked ROM, but broken. Since I do not plan on reverting to the sprint ROM, I will have to rely on some very patient person to let us know if this is true for the Hero too. Although Launcher2 runs so slow I could only imagine using it on an overclocked Hero.
Ive had a G1 for over a year and rooted it pretty much as soon as i got it.Loaded a bunch of roms and programs for it. But I recently bought a Cliq from a friend and ive noticed there is very little development going on for the Cliq. Is it because of the Blur software? I know ive seen a Blur rom for the G1, is it more difficult to port from the G1 to the Cliq?
Only thing I know is that Motorola has stated they will be updating the Cliq to Android 2.1+ (maybe Froyo 2.2?) either May or June (so very soon). Froyo is supposed to solve the issue of interfaces being tied to the OS (like MotoBlur, HTC SenseUI, etc.) so the OS can be updated without affecting the interface.
Moto has made it very hard to develop for. They have a ton of locks in place and it makes it difficult to hack. The guys at ModMyMoto.com are working on roms and things, but its hard because of the lack of drivers and things like that.
It's also hard for the guys over there due to a lack of developers. You have Handler working on his own ROM and you have KB7SQI working on a different one. Another huge problem is that it's still running 1.5, and not 2.1 yet, this is also driving alot of would-be developers away because nobody wants to work with an old, slow version of the OS.
Also, the Moto locks in place and lack of drivers, however the drivers thing I think can be fixed with a few more hard working Developers.
Its all about hunting and pecking. Trial and error. Developers get frustrated and then they give up on it. Its sad because the hardware is good and the design of the phone is great.

yeah i like the phone alot, i havent had any issues at all with the phone. It just sucks going from a phone like the g1 with tons of development,to the cliq with pretty much only 2 roms. dont get me wrong,i seriously appriciate Handler and kb7sqi working on the roms along with eugene,thedudes and many others,(sorry if ive missed anyone). I wish it was as easy as modding Rzrs back in the day with monsterpacks.
Those guys work really hard. It is sad that they can't get much further then they have.

I think(hope),they are waiting for Android 2.1 for the Cliq to come out before doing anything else,but Moto is taking forever.The biggest deal was being able to root Blur 1.4.8,but they got it done. I hope once 2.1 comes out there wll be more development or more people wanting to develop it.

Dear xda-developers members,
In other sections the JB development is started. I'll port from these phones to our Magic.
I hope I get some testers to say which one in the fastest,... so we can get it fully working.
Remember that all builds are in alpha phase and probably not for daily use!
HTC Dream/G1
HTC Hero

Still in alpha phase, but pretty fast. Sound isn't working but will be fixed soon.
Angry birds is working smooth!! So all haters who said JB porting was useless, well **** you! :angel::victory:

Hi PowerPlop,
Maybe not so good than ICS, but it seems me good enough.
The response to touch, drill through settings menu is good and sound are ok.
The worst problem are mobile network connection.
Expecting new releases in next week!
No succes with porting from Eris yet.
Almost bricked my phone... happily I could fix it. XD
We wait for next JB release , thks for your work
and you can count with us (me for sure) to help you on test stage

Because we can. I think that's the point of Android or any open source system.
For me, is amazing that the HTC Magic, one of the first Android phone that came out, can run the newest version of the OS.
If you don't like experimenting with your phone, because it goes "slow", join the Jobs army and buy an iPhone.

I like experimenting with my phone, but at least it still has to be usable - and HTC Magic + ICS or JB is really only to see "yeah, we can", but not for more.
Joining the "Jobs army" isn't/wasn't necessary, got a SGS1 and that's just running fine even with JB.
So stop promoting Apple. :silly:

You clearly haven't had a HTC Magic. GB was indeed running less fast as FY, but ICS is faster as GB and even FY.
Now with JB, I noticed the game 'Cut the Rope' played smoother.
Everytime there's released a new version, we got a whole new phone.
It's not only because it can, but also because it's better.
I know that is still in development, but it is very fluid and fast.
good job ...
continues please
i want Android 4.1.1
The only way that i can understand this kind of comments are... that obviously that ppl are HTC empolyer and need/want that ppl buy a new smartphone
PowerPlop thanks for your effort and we wait for next releases, to give a new (and better) life to our "Legacy & Low Activity Devices"

No possible JB ports.
HTC Hero
Downloadlink: http://www.speedyshare.com/d8e59/CM10.zip
Only ROM, not yet updated. Jordfaz is releasing his CM10. I will port that one when the boot problems are fixed.
HTC Hero CDMA
I tried to port one of Shellnutts roms, spend a lot of time on it! Seems to problem the problem is not caused by me, but is situated in the original rom.
HTC Droid Eris
No luck porting from Eris. I can get pass the installation, but I get stuck at bootlogo of my mobile provider.
I'm sorry I couldn't release any port. I'm busy this weekend, but next monday I should have some time and if possible I release a Hero and a Hero CMDA port.
If they are fast enough, I'll fix the major bugs caused by porting.
Thank you all for testing and supporting me!
