HTC Magic Orientation and Acceleration Sensors - G1 Android Development

Hi, Does anybody know whether the accelerometer inside HTC Magic obtains acceleration readings from calculating the data generated by the digital compass built in the phone? Or the accelerometer and the compass actually generate the data independently?
Thank you very much in advance!

Well posting on the Magic AKA Sapphire forums would help. This is the Dream AKA G1 forum.

HTC G-Sensor

Hi folks!
I am currently developing an application using the G-Sensor of HTC's Touch Diamond and I was wondering if it is possible to get values like pitch, yaw, roll and angular speed and angular acceleration for each axis?

You may want to ask in the q&a section of the forum. This thread will probably be moved there. Thanks.
no no... this isn't right. we decided that development questions go in the Dev&Hack section so that developers can get their answers as fast as possible.
I also suggest going to the diamond's section as there are many people who deal with G-sen apps there.
Anyhow, does anybode have an idea?

Any chance to break/split this board into 32A and 32B?

As the Subject says, any chance we could have the Development section broken up into 32A and 32B? or have sub sections or something? I do see that almost all rom/image threads says if it is 32A or 32B but would be really helpful if we could split the two.
Is this the wrong area to put in a suggestion? If so apologies.
I don't know what is required to make a move like this and if it is possible any longer.
Thanks from Vancouver
Bye!

New Google Phone

So apparently Google has made a phone, for now let's call it the GPhone. You can read about it here, or here.
So far there's Twitter activity from some Google employees.
sorry to say this, but this doesnt need to be on the htc cdma hero board, as it has zero to do with the hero, repost it on http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=256.

LOL I understand where you coming from.....
but at least mine affected hero users as 97 percent of us are on sprint.
I saw the relevance that tied the info to me and my hero, but i don't see the same relevance here. But 2,100 views show the relevance of my post.
it's the HTC passion, I'm pretty sure...
Thread moved to the General section.
Google Didnt make it HTC has - Nexus One but it may be rebranded to google phone at press conference on jan 5th. There is more info here n1user.com

Where are the 32B roms?

Can someone help me by noting some good 32B roms? All I see in the forums is mostly related to 32a
Popular 32B choices:
- St0kes AOSP 2.1 (I use this.)
- Cyanogen AOSP 2.1 (I haven't tried this.)
mate thanks for 2 roms links. well i will just say that there are many 32A roms. as compared to 32B so is it possible to port and use 32A roms in 32B by modifying something.?

why you can find all the 32b roms hiding in plain sight
it seems every month someone opens another thread asking this same redundant question - you obviously have not searched at all

well mate. thanks for your reply.. but why we use to get magic roms in G1 section. if there are some then they must be released in magic section too. so thats why i asked..
well thanks i will try to find...

because the MT3G and The dream are both the same hardware....
The reason you find 32a roms here is because we have different hardware for the better magics with more memory and some have the 3.5mm jack
if you have a 32b its because your provider would rather save money than give you a better phone
im not gonna rag on you man because i use not to know what the difference was but the g1 is 32b so if you got an old school mytouch like me just mostly stay on there. all those roms are for the first mytouch also this area is mostly for 32a mytouches (the one with the headphone jack). hope it helps!
then they should add mt3g to the g1 section and take it away from here. maybe say mt3g 1.2 or some **** like that

Yeah, I don't think you can blame anyone for being confused about that. Until yesterday, all I knew was that I had a 32B, and also wondered where all the ROMs were for me. For all the people that are "sick of the same redundant question", a little switch in the title or a sticky in this section might help.
agreed.
this problem would go away if the forum description was changed.
nowhere in the G1 forum description does it mention HTC Magic.
you know where it does mention the HTC magic? that's right, in this very forum.
the fact that they are the same hardware (in some cases) is irrelevant.
the forum description tells members to come in here for all of their HTC Magic development needs. it makes no mention of the different hardware types.
i don't think anyone, particularly new members, should be blamed for making that mistake.
I think it should be also mentioned that this forum is for the HTC Sapphire in all it's forms, be it Magic or mytouch, and that moving anything to the Dream section is just going to cause more confusion. Should I really have to look in a totally different forum just because I have a 32B? Next you'll be trying to tell me to look elsewhere coz my Magic is pink. Seriously guys, there's being elitist, and there there's being plain stupid. The OP just needed to maybe learn a little bit more before posting a question, and many many many people are guilty of that.
ya mate thats true. because this confusion will always remain. so we request XDA to please add some little description about that little issue. and all rom cookers of G1 that they must use Magic or whatever with 32B support too if G1 roms are usable for Magic devices too. So no one will make this confusion again. Thats a simple issue which can be solved with little info and description.
i am so sorry if someone mind about my post. and also sorry for my bad english.

I'm not the brightest girl at the best of times, but I managed to work it out, so did a lot of other people.
Nothing needs to be changed, people just need to learn to use the search function and read before they post a question.

[Q] sensation 3g to 4g

as an experienced Sensation user I have to say I'm quite clueless on this part, so I have to ask. Can a regular HTC Sensation's software be modified so it can support 4G networking? Or is it a pure hardware related property?
tnx in advance

thanks for the answer. I'm familiar with the forum guidelines, so I did google. However, I couldn't get a clear answer (maybe I overlooked it). most hits I got were regarding the Sensation 4G brand.
I'm always cautious with asking questions on XDA. For me it's a last resort and good resource for getting the answers I need. I wouldn't ask here if I could get my answer elsewhere.
