I'm sure this is in the wrong place, but it does have a lot to do with the Hero ROM porting that's goign on here. HTC Brazil's website is showing off the Magic with Sense. Anyone come across this built yet? I'm sure it will work a lot better than Hero ROM ports since it's official from HTC! http://htcsource.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=732&Itemid=51
Great news!!! Thanks for that Nick.... really looking forward to the official release
Damn i was hoping the brazillian magic phone had our low ram. Would this really change anything?
salivating... hope it can be made into a suitable rom for 32a soon

We are just waiting for a Brazilian person to extract it and we can have it too (I think so).. I was reading it and there's good and bad news!!!
Good:
Is really the 1st HTC Sense Ui officially on a Magic!
Bad:
All stores from the Brazilian market listed on the HTC website from the link there, hasn't the equipment available and only the TIM network are promoting the Android phone and asking for filling a form for a pre-release/information (I didn't feel it) about an Android phone (I think it can be the Magic).
soooo.. any brazilians got it !! if not HURRY THE F UP!

I doubt it~! I didn't see for sale it yet on any of the authorized HCT Brazilian shop!! We will have to wait, maybe the release date is the same that our so WANTED update will be released!
that sucks.. so does anyone have a magic with a hero rom that is fast.. and you are satisified with it?
I will not be satisfied till our ui is up to speed with the ones in iphone..
I can get nooo..
satisfaction...

I'm not sure any Andrid UI will ever be as fast as the iPhone. The iPhone UI is only an icon list and that's pretty much it. We'll need a Snapgragon powered Android phone from HTC to acheive a no-lag Sense experience.
i am excited about this. having a native sense ui made specifically for the magic is good news and hopefully will improve performance since we dont have to port from the hero to the g1 to the magic. once it's released we just need one of the devs to root it for us haha then we can install like a normal rom, i think, right? i dont want to lose root to install this.

HTC will release the Magic in Brazil only in the 2nd half of October. And IIRC TIM Brasil will launch BOTH the Magic and the Samsung Galaxy.

Obrigado Cesar
Since HTC controls this.. it sounds like it will be as well the time as well that we will have our so DESIRED HTC Sense UI updates! But, anyway we'll see..
Hope that I'm wrong in the good way (that they release first the update, since is already made)! One month to go..
midway october is still 3 weeks away , hope someone get a piece before hand and can make a dump and put it up for people to breakdown.
can't wait ! Singapore's one is releasing on Nov, one month later of wait

nativ or not. the problem is the same...
the htc magic in brasil is using 288 mb of ram.
its good for the 32a users but 32b has the same problem as now
even tho it has 288 mb ram , it will still be a better port of Sense as compared to the current one which is of a whole different model , so this would have lesser bugs and im sure with some swap in place it would be pretty snappy for those who have the 32B as well
The main benefit I see from this is that the LED and Bluetooth issues should finally be resolved.

probably part of LED fix is most likely a fully functioning trackball blink/notification
I didn't see any other thread for this so:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/16/what-new-htc-android-phone-is-this/
Wonder what it could be?
It's the HTC Zoom 2 (HTC Dragon). Spec's say maybe released Dec. 2009:
http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2067&c=htc_zoom_2_htc_dragon
Looks like the Android version of the HD2 many people have been wishing for. Nice to have choices right?
Hm, I really hope it's not. Don't really like the looks of it.
Though IF it is the HTC dragon, it would be easier for me to choose the HD2 (out sooner + sexier ). It is a shame though, as I would have enjoyed trying out Android. Ah well... maybe next time.
Is it me or do the pictures look rather stretched. The screen looks way too long and narrow. It's not proportined right. The looks aren't that great either.
If this is the Android-version of the HD2, then they really screwed up the design, It looks like **** compared to the Touch HD2.
Plus its much bigger with that added chin for the trackball.
They should add the trackball between the buttons and skip that bottom chin.
What you all complaining about? I think it looks great.

Ok Someone else call Shananigans with me.......... This is more than a likely photoshopped Samsung Moment. Look at them both.

Yeah. But the eris is supposedly the Verizon Hero. So why they are pushing the moto Droid more than that IDK. Probably cause the screen aint no 4.3 inches.
Would be cool if the Eris was the Dragon though. But IDK.
http://phonedog.com/cell-phone-rese...ee-k-i-s-s-say-android-phones-are-coming.aspx
Screen doesn't look big enough neither does the device. The phone the other guy is hodlding is the Droid.
So mebe they took the Eris/Desire and photoshoped that picture so the screen was stretched and phone look bigger? Look at how stretched the Android bot is in one of those pictures where it's in landscape mode.
That phone looks like a shopped Droid Eris which is basically a Verizon Hero. Moto Droid all the way though.
Why soooo much of hoax circulating around. Just like with Leo b4 it ws announced?
It wont be called Dragon or Passion, but Bravo and its expected to be released late Q1, early Q2 of 2010 wearing 3.7'' and not 4.3 screen and many others....

Nobody spoken about an Android-based HD2 and neither did I. I just said that the device which the topic/thread is about (and so are the photos which are circulating) will be released as i have priorly stated on end of March (Q1) start of April (Q2) of 2010, as i have seen all the devices portfolio live, on my hands, a week ago.
Any idea what CPU its running? I like the idea of an android handset, but not if its using the same old MSM as my current TD2.

Guys, the forthcoming on April 2010, Android handset which will be finally called as HTC Bravo has nothing to do with the picture which was circulation over the net for quite a while. The device looks great from any point of view and as member nizzon correctly stated before, i can confirm to all of you, that the rounded red-coloured trackball will be between the buttons at the bottom of the device. The device is slim with perfect design and with really nice specs.
Wrongly many stated that Bravo is the Android side of Leo (HD2) as the only same feature which is maintained from Leo is the Snapdragon QSD 8250 1GHz CPU and many others have been added in advanced as the HD 720p Video caprure.
Will post you shortly exclusively 1-2 pictures to have a look, along with the offcial specs known so far
That sounds awesome dude!

Im sorry i haven't posted it so far but will do it as my work was pilled up and to be honest nobody showed interest so far, thats why i skipped it as well. To be honest what i will provide, are scanned brochured images, as these are the only ones found out there, but will open a new thread, specifically for HTC Bravo and us usual...exclusively here on xda.devs
I was just wondering what everybody thinks about this phone? I was thinking about getting the X10, but after reading some stuff about it, i don't know. The Moto seems nice though. Pretty much a Droid w/o a keyboard which is what I'm looking for. Even has a HDMI port...
no hdmi port
I just bought this phone. It's awesome, but would definitely benefit from a software update of some sort. Powering it off (not lock) sometimes results in an endless loop of restarts. Pulling the battery is necessary sometimes, other times it loads android after it sorts itself out. Looking forward to some xda resources on rooting and romming this badboy soon. It's great hardware.
I've read on a few different websites that it has a HDMI port on it.
If it does, it must double with the mini usb port. There are no other ports on the device.
just ordered mine.... hope to see development on this nice device soon! mainly root.
I just got mine set last weekend! Loving it so far.
Hope we get Froyo soon.
Hopefully more people get one so it can have its own section on here. It might be the 720 that has the HDMI then....
Yep. It's definitely not on the 710.
Anyone have any good GPS navigation apps for the xt710?

I'm really looking forward to custom ROMs for this phone.
Newegg is now selling this phone.
are two
exist two motorolas same ,the xt720 and xt701 but the different between one and the other is that the xt720 have a 8 mp camera, HDMI out, T-DVB, this things do not have the xt701

I was considering posting this in the Q/A thread, but its not really a question about how installing roms work.
I was wondering if there were any 2.2 Blur roms, like the motoblur on the droid 2 and droid x? It's an updated, froyo toned down nicer looking blur. Are there any G1 roms like that? Can't find one... thanks in advance! I currently have Froyo For Trout, best rom ever, but I wanted a taste of blur for awhile. Any help?
MotoBlur is like the plague for most 99% of the people here.
That's just how it is.
I know, I hate MotoBlur too but the MotoBlur on the Droid X and Droid 2 seems nice, I want to try it out. It's very scaled down and streamlined.
Oh, and is the Motoblur on droid x and droid 2 a specifically made motoblur for those phones, or just a stock 2.2 motoblur?

The last motoblur rom was the one by jester. That was back in the 1.5 days.
The g1 is just too far behind hardware wise to pull of motoblur.

Blur looks nice but that doesn't mean it functions ok
The G1 can't handle 2.2 blur, plus the droid(s) have much higher res+"very" different hardware that would make the roms harder to port than a rom from a htc based phone.
I'm the owner of the first phone to come with MotoBlur, the Motorola Cliq. Because of Motoblur, we got repeated delays for an update to 2.1, causes many phones to overheat, and made this phone very slow. Wouldn't recommend it on G1.
Also to point out: I've rooted and updated roms for 3 different friends who all had motoblur phones (Cliq, Backflip, and Cliq XT [yes, I know it's a different type of motoblur]) all their phones where going very slow and battery life was a drain (I made a punny lol)
Many of the roms on their development forums (I had to go to modmymobile.com cause those freaks of nature aren't supported here on XDA) where just attempts to get rid of motoblur, and guess what: battery life improves to around 2-3x, their phones where no long going so slow.
BUT: I'm sure somebody can make a mock theme to make it look it.

Bleh they kept the 3-dot menu. At least change it aesthetically, move it somewhere else or something. I know the option will probably be there to use the menu key. People complained and we got that ICS update. You'd think that'd be a flag for them to change it.
Well, honestly? Not impressed.
Yes, Im fully aware that its very early leaked pictures, and it will probably change A LOT before its released.
Still, based on those screenshots - not impressed...

Qualcomm just said to out S5 600/800 this year and Nvidia T4 is coming soon too. They support 4k [email protected] or 2k [email protected] and HDR burst mode.

to me it seems Android is a badly optimized OS, it needs quadcores, 2Ghz, 90 GPU cores in order to run smoothly...
WP8 (Lumia 800) did it better with a singlecore CPU.
iphone does it better with an 800MHz CPU (and did it better than the rest from the beginnings of iphone)
so wtf?
Its because Android runs on so many different devices - iOS runs on 5-6 or whatever it is.
Its a hell a lot easier to optimize a program/OS for a small set of devices, than a large set.
If android-devices were stuck with a set spec, it would be much more optimized. But since there arent any such restrictions, manufactures are free to put whatever hardware they want in them.
Software developing takes a lot longer than hardware development.
