HELP NEEDED PLEASE RE WIFI ON G1 ROMS/Magic

Hey all ,
Ok sorry to make a new topic but we are stuck .
We can flash g1 roms on our magics with no prob at all but the only thing that does not work is wifi ???? we have now tried everything to get it working but we have hit a brick wall .
Now their must be someone who can look at this for us and tell us what to do or fix the prob for us explaining what they did . as said all g1 roms work on magics its just the wifi .
Any help would be fantastic .
you need to get the wifi modules from any magic rom and put them in the g1 rom
Thanks for your reply , we have tried that mate an it does not work ?
I think you should replace modules and kernel. You can't load modules form other kernel version, you should see this in dmsg. I don't know where kernel is placed but if you change kenel and modules everything should works fine. I'm not and expert in android ROM cooking but this is theory for linux based systems.
Many thanks for taking the time to reply and for your help mate thanks buddy

Kernel for [32A] Motorola Cliq by Raiderx303 & Drizzy"(Alpha-test)

Alright, so im itching to tryout the Blur ROM. Last night I wanted to try out the preliminary rom Drizzy had up on my 32A Magic. I figured since the rom is based off of cupcake a version of the cupcake kernel should make it work.
I then tried the rom with Cyan's 4.04 kernel. No luck. After this i tried watever kernels i had on my SD card at the time. So that included myhero, evilhero (these two were really just for kicks), hofo kernel. None of these worked.
So I wanted to know if you guys know which kernel will make it work if there are any existing ones which will make it work... And if not could someone make a kernel ? Thanks for the input
Yea, same problem here. Cant wait till someone ports it or points to a working 32a kernel.

With my Magic 32B working very good
sounds great but how can i install this?
and which android version will i have?
is your phone rooted? if not, you will need to do so and apply the recovery that fabioccelho gave you in the first link, with that you can flash it that way.
all hero roms that are ready for everyday use are 1.5
there are some eclair hero's in the dream forum, but they are not quite there yet.
so i was on ebay looking for an HTC Magic. I found one that had the Hero ROM that was already installed. I emailed the guy and he said that the phone had no compatibility issues and it was working completely fine - the bluetooth, multi touch, the wi fi, camera etc, were all working correctly. I asked him how and he replied that it wasn't a "cooked" ROM. I'm new to this, so can someone explain? I thought all the roms for the HTC Magic Hero ROM all had their own issues and none of them were working 100% correctly. thanks in advance!

How-to make a port???

Hello,
first, scuse me for my very bad english, but I'm 15, Swiss and my native language is French!
I have a question....how can I make a port? Because it got many ROM for 32A [6.35], and they are very good, but I can't have those. If I have a 32A without BT, OK, but how can I make a port?
I've tried to repack boot.img using a 32B (eris ROM) kernel to port a 32A [6.35] ROM, but, it don't freeze, but it restarted many times, and then, it go to recovery!
If anyone can help me....
The 6.35 radio are a bit tougher to build for. But you can take a working 6.35 kernel and repack it with the ramdisk from the ROM you want to port. A port basically has the following:
1) Kernel that matches the device you want to port TO (ie. 32A)
2) ramdisk from the ROM you are porting
You then have to pack those files together using mkbootimg --base 0x19200000
Here are two posts that take you through the steps:

Here is an old guide, where it says to use mkbootimg-H, use mkbootimg --base 0x19200000.

i used the kitchen linked in my sig to make my current rom, which i ported from 32A to 32B.
By the way, I wanna ask you two questions that always confused me.
First, what is a PORT?
And does every ROM need a port?

I don't know how to define port for you so ill use examples!
I'm a 32A user, and since there are a ton of 32B roms.. I need a port to use a 32B rom.
There are also ports for other things like... if I'm using a 6.35 radio, people like giant_rider can port over a g1 rom over to a 32a. Does this make sense LOL sorry if I confuse you more!
But users like myself need these ports since there aren't many 32A roms for my radio (3.22 and 6.35)
So hopefully you understand that not every rom needs a port after reading the above..

in general terms, a port is making a piece of software or code designed to work on one particular type of hardware work on a different type of hardware.
in this case the HTC magic uses two different types of motherboard. 32A and 32B.
a rom might be built specifically for the 32A board and so it will not work on the 32B unless it is ported first.
therefore, not all rom's need to be ported. you only need to port a rom if you wish to use it on hardware that it was not originally designed for.
not all rom's can be ported.

hey what are the advantages to using mkbootimg... because i've been using the so called old port tools

Only advantage is that you can build with diff offsets. Only need one binary for all packages u might build. If the "old" one works, keep using it.

So, I'm testing it, I say you later if I can make a port!!! And if yes, I will upload it!
OK, I think I weren't clear. Can I port a 32A 6.35 to 32B?

only if you change a bunch of things and move apps around in the build usually
6.35 radio is nearly identical to porting from hero as it is very easy to port to 6.35 radio - would reccomend you just port from hero roms because it would be the same effort with more work having been done on hero
OK, just one question more. Can I flash the 6.35 radio? "only if you change a bunch of things" ??, and which kernel can I use?
Thank you
OK, just a thing... don't use the "--base 0x19200000" parameter..., because otherwise, the ROM won't boot!!
Apparently it boot!!! This ROM!!
I say you latter

A quick question for 2.1 roms

I've been searching and trying many different roms for the MT3g that are android 2.1, and there are many many talented developers on this website it's too hard to just try them all.
Can anyone point out there most "stable" and working rom for 2.1 32B they have use / are using
It's been annoying having to change and reflash different roms every other week for something new / need something else to work that I wonder if anyone has their preferred roms they could point out
Thanks in advance
