Hi guys.
I there a 1.6 ROM for 32A that is stable and without glitches?
I have a Magic with orig. 1.5 ROM and I want to use Google Nav.
I just want a 1.6 ROM where everything works (Camera, BT, GPS etz) as in my original.
I read this forums a alot but Im a litle confused, in almost every rom there is someone saying he has problem with this and with that. Dont want no Betas or WIP ROMS, just a straight, working 1.6. If there is any.
Thx in advance!

Sorry but if you want stable, fast, you need Amon_RA's ROM.
Cyanogen Roms rocks but this one is more trouble free

Not to sound like a smartass, but don't forget that there will ALWAYS be people having problems with this or that and every ROM, including the official ones, is essentialy just a work in progress.
Hey dude, try this:

Im with you on that.
Maxqc- Thx for the link, some ppl having issues with this rom too, I guess that I will have to test it too see how it goes.
Donut with exchange does that exist for magic?
I allow myself to follow up on the request in this thread. I have searched a bit around - what I am looking for is a donut for magic 32A with exchange abilities. I need corporate mail as well as calendar. Does that exist - do I overlook something? I want to go beyond 1.5 because of the ability of using new programs. I could wait for Eclair, but it seems not to be near stability at the moment, and maybe the problem with camera will not be solved? I don't need sense..
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
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

where have you been?? lol.. cyanogen mod 5.0.7... go check it out in the g1/dream forum...
oh yea it is marked as experimental but i think its pertty solid compaired to anyother eclair rom..
...and for new Radio?
...and for new Radio??
edit: nevermind, smoki is only for 32A
Just so we're clear, I have simply collected some links to help people use the CM6 nightly builds. I had NO part in the creation of this software and I take no credit for it. No one asked me to collect this information, and if anyone has a problem with it being available they can PM me and I'll remove it.
All of this information is present throughout this Cyanogenmod forum thread. I've just brought it together to make sense of it.
NIGHTLY BUILDS ARE PRE-TEST BUILDS AND ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL, I NOR THE CYANOGENMOD TEAM ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING YOU DO WITH THIS INFO! THIS IS *ONLY* FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO TRY AN INCOMPLETE AND UNSTABLE CM6 FROYO ROM.
This is for Dream/Sapphire (Magic) and Old Radio ONLY. Don't flash this sort of thing unless you really know what you're doing.
Since I am just collating the information I probably won't be able to help you troubleshoot. I have flashed the latest nightly myself and it runs, but it's very unstable.
Anyway, long waiver done, here's the info:
The nightly builds can be found here. You'll probably want the latest .zip. These builds are created by the CyanogenMod team, if you want up-to-the-minute news I'd suggest following Cyanogen, Wesgarner, ChrisSoyars, and Koush on twitter.
Early 32A port kernels can be found here. You'll want the .zip that corrosponds to the nightly build you downloaded. These are being developed by bcrook (aka 'bcrook88' on Twitter)
Google Apps can be flashed from this. Not sure where they're from or who made them available. It flashed fine for me, but GMaps FCs whenever it's opened, very unstable. This version of google apps has also been suggested as more complete and better, but I haven't tried it myself.
Very much OT, but are you actually running the SPL 1.76.2007 together with the old radio, as your sig seems to indicate?
I think by old radio, he means the one that comes with dangerSPL, the one ripped from the engineering Magics? (i'm not sure where it came from) rather than that new one that someone found in an HTC rom, and everyone flashed.
Oops, nope my sig is wrong. Should be HBOOT 1.33.2010
Also if you feel like compiling , there is a wiki article here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Compile_for_dream
Edit: Sorry its only for the dream :-(
Thanks, flashing now. Any update on what works/doesn't work?
I haven't spent much time with it yet, but 3G works. I would imagine Wifi, GPS and Camera are the usual culprits to be broken, but I haven't tried them yet. You can always check the check-ins and bug tracker that the Cyanogenmod team uses to see what they're working on.

Main known issues with nightly builds include GPS/Maps FC, camera and video broken, voice input FC..But speed is insane for pre-test build..Can't wait for CM6
I have a quick question, and it may seem dumb. But im kinda stuck.
I understand how to update the spl to what is required, but where can i get the radio 3.22.23.18 ? i cant seem to find it anywhere and thats the only problem im having.
i can load up this rom and its great, i just dont get a signal lol.
thanks.
I'm not using an unusual radio version or anything. Just use this tool to change your radio (relatively) safely: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=677045
Couple more things, u can actually flash pershoots 32a .34 kernels on top of this and they run fine. Also if frf83-mdpi apps are giving users issues, ive ported frf91 gapps to mdpi and so far havent heard complaints and im running it as well so it shud b gud.

Has anyone tried to use the new Kernel from Rogers Rom , to make roms wich need to be ported work on NEw radio? Thanks
well from looking at it, no one else has been releasing anythign since 2.1 came out but klothius and i, so hmmmmm.......
Sorry i didnt explain myself. For instance, we have now a new HTC kernel. Can this be used to port Cyanogenmod rom ? I would like to see how it worked with the nwe HTC drivers
not sure it would go well, cause if you take a kernel from cyanogen and put in sense, not everythign will work, might not even start, so going the other way from sense to aosp i don't think but who knows, or you could try out new .34 kernel we released in froyorider today
