hi there folks. im from Bangalore. India.
i have a htc magic 1.5(cupcake)
thing is i dont have ANDROID MARKET in my phone.
im not able to fully make use of my android device with the android market.
so ppl, let me know how i can obtain a ANDROID MARKET in my htc magic.
is it through, rooting my phone to new better roms?
or through, upgrading my 1.5 firmware to 1.6(donut) firmware?
i need the method and the procedure of how to make it happen, as fast as possible
thank you
i know that there are market substitues on cyanogens roms...idk where else they would be... you should try his rom. i believe the market on there is the slideME.apk
go to wiki pages, how to root update your rom.
Some learning to do...
Hi-
I had the same issue when getting my 32A Magic from Chennai. It comes with a perfected SPL which I had to overcome and I also ended up flashing a succession of various ROMs until now I am using the Case_ 1.1.1 ROM which works pretty well. You will need to root the device though to get any of this functionality. There are a few different HOWTO's for preparing a Goldcard and there are bunches of Sense ROMs you can use that have the applications installed.
Few months ago, came from the same place you are at now. Its not a hard journey but you will have to do a bit of searching here and reading.
Today I've got an HTC Magic, 32A version, and I want to make it run Sense UI so can anybody please tell me which ROM should I install?
You can give me link to the thread for that ROM, and if you can, a link to How To Install ROM on Android tutorial...
Thank you very much.
And please forgive me if theres already thread about this, I'm just so excited.

Thats way too complicated, I need some clean install rom that looks and feels exactly like on HTC Hero...
What u want is CursorSense....
Read this wiki on how to get around your magic... (Rooting, flashing SPL so on...)
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking
once you read through the wiki flash an engineering spl to your phone and then go through CursorDroids guide on how to flash his rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592856
Thank you, that looks awesome. But it sounds as complicated as the first suggestion. C an I just download it and load it somehow? And what do you think about 2.1 hero rom?
It really isn't too much work to get the new SPL and Radio installed if you follow the instructions. Very little risk involved, as long as you follow instructions.
Can anyone please tell me how to install myhero rom it is way easier from what i see than all of these and im n00b so i dont know anything about roms.

Please read the Sapphire hacking Wiki.
the search for threads that instruct you on how to root your phone.
You'll probably end up using a program called Recovery Flasher, or Flashrec.
As long as you don't flash your SPL first thing, you can't brick your phone.
Flashing Magic GyD (32A) is less complicated.
It's probably the best MagicSense rom out right now.
I haven't tried CursorSense yet though, so what's it about anyway? Flashing a Hero rom with a Hero SPL? So you can run roms meant for the HTC Hero?
So when 2.1 Sense comes out for Hero that would work fine on the SPL right?
Can CursorSense be run on an HTC Hero?
my-hero 2.0.5 is my choice. GyD always gave me trouble (the software, not the guy ;-))
Im new in this whole android thing but i can see myself flashing phone etc. because im pretty god at symbian and OSx, but both WM and Android are so new experience for me, thats why i came here. I've read it but i still don't get it.
Which programs for computer and for phone should i first download if i want to install myhero 2.0.5 since i already downloaded the rom...?
please, be patient with me, i want to do all of this but im just not capable of doing it at the moment.
thaanks
Well I just checked out CursorSense and it's very worth it if you want a solid Hero rom. It's the fastest, I've seen.
I think 2.1 roms will be developed on that SPL/Radio soon.
try this

Yes definitely, I agree that this is probably the best and safest way to root your phone.
ok, i think im gonna read some more about cursorsense and finally, if i have guts, im gonna do it. If i decide that i cannot, im gonna try myhero or this visual thingy
Please please please just tell me if this http://www.karrderized.com/romguide/ is what i have to do to install myhero 2.0.5. without bricking the device?

OK, first of all, you need to know your SPL version.
Power off your phone.
Start it up by holding Back and pressing Power.
Type all of that information into this thread and then we can help point you in the right direction.
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT-1.22.0009 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
I also tried to install one click to root but i couldnt manage to get Hero rom (again -.- ) because of Can't chown/mod /system/xbin error, line 18. The same error i got when i tried to install MyHero 2.0.5
You cant flash any other roms to your phone until you get an engineering spl flashed... thats what the S-ON indicates... once you have an eng spl it will say S-OFF and you will be able to flash whatever to your phone... the first thing you need is another recovery though i recommend amon ra's
Hi, i have gotten fed up of waiting for support for some applications that I know work on cupcake. I have looked and haven't had much success in finding defanged versions of 1.5 cupcake android. I currently have:
ROM: DRC83_base_defanged (1.6)
MOD: CyanogenMod-4.2.15.1
SPL: Hard spl
RECOVERY: CyanogenMod 1.4
RADIO: 2.22.19.26i
Any help would be really appreciated.
Why do you need it though? Most of the ROMs here are 1.6 or 2.1+?
He already said he wants it to run some old apps.
Nobody ever made a "defanged base" for Cupcake, however Haykuro's old ionr2 image will do the trick.
The thread is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520097 however the download no longer works. You can find it on 4shared with Google easily enough.
I may have something for you...
If everything works and boots, I will have the fastest rom ever seen for you.. and it will be cupcake
Still not shure if it works, though...
/edit: works. stay tuned...
(i am happy )

I know, my actual question was if he doesn't mind me asking what is it exactly to really go back to 1.5?
What is the best rom currently running off the 2.1 software? I am fairly new to modding my mytouch 3g if you can't tell, I've got the latest CM build, latest radio, and am currently researching SPLS(Best SPl download and how to apply would also be a fun thing to add to your help)
From: Rom Devs read this before posting!
Please categorize your question accordingly, Anaylize which forum to post it
Development forum is only for development of phone OS related stuff
Q- Which ROM is best for me/ Which ROM is the best for 32A/B?
A- Take some time on the forums, look at the ROMs available for your device and individually assess what works for you by reading the various issues affecting them and make a decision. If that still doesn't work out for you, hey, that's what makes XDA great, try a different one and so on, till you find one that YOU'RE happy with. It's very subjective since what my needs are could be totally different from what yours are.
Thanks for the reply. To run a 2.1 ROM you need Danger SPL, which is supposed to be 1.33.2005, yet mI have the Hboot. How do I get the latest Danger SPL? I have the 2.22.23.02 radio, and the latest CM build currently. I'd like one with all the features of 2.1 without any problems in the wifi/bluetooth/camera/sms and mms areas.
Don't install the Danger SPL, that is for the G1. Get haykuro's SPL (the one in my signature), it works with all roms.
The instructions here are the ones I used:
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magic_Rooting
I followed a guide and installed it onto my phone perfectly(At least from the fact I see1.33.2005 in the Hboot section of my fastboot screen), all I need now is to find a good 2.1 rom and I'll be set.
I have the mytouch3g from tmobile pvt 32b and I just did the one touch root app. Does anyone have a rom that is easy to install? Does require a bunch of crap to do?
The most complicated ROM to install on a MT3G are 'legal' ones (i.e: SuperD & Cyan) which are 2 steps instead of 1.
Personally I recommend SuperD 1.11 or TheOfficial ROMs for you, you can find them over in the G1/Dream forum (most 32B development goes on over there, the MT3G/HTC Magic forum is mainly for 32A)
edit: Actually some ports are more complicated since you have to set up SWAP but the ports aren't very good imho.
