ok so i have read some threads, and i truly dont see one just for Mytouch, but when i saw Saphire it does look exactly like it. As we all know Eclair 2.0 is out but yet to be for any other phone but the Droid. I do enjoy Mytouch and i kinda am lookin forward to 2.0 but i dont see it coming anytime soo. And to be honest the only thing i truly want is Google navigation (voice). I did read that if rooted it can be done but is there away i can still have Google nav on my 1.6 donut without having to root it. As we all know rooting the phone can brick it and im not looking forward to do, even though if i root the phone i will also have access to multitouch which i will like.
Any suggestion?
There is more than one thread explaing how to get the nav on all versions of any ROM
Also, the 2.0 is currently only aviable for the 32b (which is what you have).
You need to do alot more reading.
ok will keep readin hope i can find something, again im not looking to root my phone yet but be capable of installing such software, this thread can be closed if thats the case. I will search
There are multiple ways to root your phone, its something you may want to do.
2.0 is currently being built by more than a few chefs. Once they really get into it you will start seeing some 2.0 ROMs showing up. The thread on the first page already has a working 2.0 ROM minus the camera, accerlometer, and something else minor. Give it a week or so.
maps with nav is in the market, just update map, access directions in map, pick where you wanna go, and when it list the directions, touch navigate
check theunlockr.com, it's kinda hard to brick your phone with those instructions
yea u right i download it and installed it and its running just like droid so im extremely happy, free awesome fast voice just great, the only thing left is multi touch lol but i still got plenty of threads to read so i wont make anyone mad
EDIT: no need to unlock or root your phone to use Google NAV just install and use

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4232207&postcount=819
But i dont wanna mess up my phone so if someone could help me do this it would be greatly appriciated. if i had the money i would pay someone to help me but I just cannot afford it right htis moment but maybe in a few days i could pay pal some one some money for helping me
I basicly wanna root my phone and just be happy with android that looks great and i would love my phone to look like that....im already bored with android dxtop ahome and open home just dont cut it
You need to root in order to have the hero rom.
Sorry, but the current MyTouch3G cannot be rooted due to the "perfect SPL". You have to wait until someone figures out how to root the MyTouch3G before you can use any rom.
I wouldnt bother with the Hero Roms for the Magic/Sapphire/Ion/My touch
Fact is what you get in looks you lose in utillisation... all thats going to do is turn you off the device.
For a complete noob i would suggest

You wont get the shiny SenseUI but you will get a phone responds
Just my opinion

Well he can't go that way either , can't root the MyTouch. If you have the correct Magic (Rogers) has the same specs as the Hero minus the camera and headphone jack, you will get the same speed and performance as the Hero.
For the OP. For now you'll have to theme your phone for that look. Search the market for Openhome and use the Hero theme.

I have a HTC magic (with 288 RAM) and JACHeroski and the performance is acceptable. At work we have a Hero and my Magic performs as well as that one.
Yes I am very new to android. I managed to root mythouch 3g 1.2 to the fender rooted rom. I am just confused completely on the 2.1 roms. What is porting? I did the unlocker method with no problem. I had an epic fail trying to install a 2.1 rom! Mainly cuz I can't figure out what the heck all this porting and partitioning is. Any help would be appreciated so much!!
All that you can read here on these sits.
It must be the 32b that has messed me up. For some reason I thought the 3.5mm jack was on the 32a. That would be a good reason for that rom not working. Man I'm getting bad at this kinda stuff.

NOOOO.. the 1.2/fender are ALL 32a boards. There are NO 2.1 roms for our phones yet because the drivers/kernel source have not been released. So for now, just use some of our themed roms. They work great and look great.
Again, NO 2.1 roms will work.
I had one pull up but touch screen was not working. I'm begging to think they just threw this phone together. I see some say there r roms but they have no bt and youtube. Or am I just that lost? I can live without bt and video.

Ok...
HTC has not released the source for the new touch screen drivers or 3.5 jack. So, if you would have read ont he instructions you used to root the phone, there are no special roms for our phones yet. Thrown together? It has a brand new touch screen and a new headphone jack that was not in the older version = no way to use them yet.
So, in these instructions you rushed through, you would have read that the only roms we have are the fender rom and the themed roms.
We have one 2.1 rom working from STokes. But you have to search it down in these forums under the Mytouch 1.2/fender threads.
Not trying to be an ass here, but its obvious you did not read fully before rooting your phone.
Thanks for the help! I was misunderstanding my phone config. I thought I had the 32a. That's why I was lost! Sorry! Although I did read it....and flashed it too! That's why my phone went stupid on me! Boy did I miss a big one there! Well I do appreciate the help all the same! That cleared all my confusion up.
Ok my phone says its a 32a ships s-on G. So how is that correct and work?

.. what are you asking? You showed us what board your phone is using, sooooo what? I need better english to understand you. I have no idea what "how is that correct and work" means. I hope you're not giving us your phones information so we can hold your hand and take you through step by step.
I also don't understand how you can't find information about all this porting and partitioning. I'm a normal member like you, how was I able to find all this information on these forums and google but you can't?
Can you do me a favour and start researching yourself rather than asking a bunch of questions that are already answered. You've already posted in the wrong section, and you obviously haven't tried hard enough. You didn't know if you had a 32A or 32B at first, which is the most basic thing of all. This is why people like you brick their phones. You totally just guessed which board you have.
Then you complain about the touch screen issues when it's all explained in the process of how to root it, wow. Get ready for flames if you continue to fail like this. Please read things more thoroughly and post in the right section.
What I guess I am trying to ask is the G or H relevent in any way? I understand the boards. I have been told It was a 32b then when I rooted it I rooted the wrong file. Which would have bricked it. That is why I am asking all the questions. It works fine with the fender root. It just doesn't seem to work loading any 2.1 rom at all. And yes I have tried 32a and 32b. The 32b 2.1 loads without the touch screen working. 32a 2.1 doesn't do a thing, just freezes. Does that help explain it a little better for you?

This is where I wound up and why!!! So flame away, but I was lead to that by this reply. WOW! I guess I'm not the only one that can make a mistake now am I? Stokes pointed me to the right direction for the file I really need to get 2.1 on my phone. I didn't mean to get everyone so angry! Thanks though!!

You got a 32b 2.1 rom to boot??? which one please. If you can get it to boot, we can then flash the kernel over, reboot, and get things working.
I wasnt flaming you, I was mearly pointing out the fact that every single thing you asked, you would have had to have known before rooting the phone.
Yours says G... which makes no sense considering its a 32a HTC branded phone (maybe the 1.2's are different? because the fender is an HTC branded board.
We here, just get tired of people that say they have searched... yet its blatently obvious it doesnt.
Now that stokes has given you the 2.1 rom..... Now we have to hear you ask 15 times now why the Bluetooth and Wifi wont work.....
Stokes 2.1 loaded for me and it is 32b. Just the touch screen didn't work. I would say if it wasn't for my phone it shouldn't have had the droid saying touch to start. None of the others did that at all. Here is where I got it from.

Oh now.. we have a fuly working stokes port working minus BT with touch screen. I was gona post it fo ryou but max file limit here is to small. Tomorrow when im not drunk Ill search a link down or get stokes to give me direct link. Im running it right now andf other then BT and youtube not working, it is so purdy with the live wallpapers. with the extra 32a ram, it runs just as well as the nexus one. If you have talked to stokes, ask him for his 1.41 Fender/LE port. Full wipe, Skip google sign in and sign in through market for sync. After that you will be very happy .
So the 2.1 rom works?

Ok so im new to the touch pro2 i literally just traded my hero for it so i was wondering what is the best rom for it what i mean by best is looks speed etc. Please post all opinions i also wanted to say whats up to everyone!!!
you're from cee-town, so i can't leave you twisting in the wind. the best rom is the one that YOU like best. there are different roms for different things, just flash away until you find the one you like . go cavs and tribe!
thats whats up now i get to have a bunch of fun reading all these posts tryin to figure out what i need to flash this phone lol good lookin tho...
my personal fav is the chein home screen (not sure if that classifies as a ROM tho). i like it better than the HTC sense for 2 reasons. first off, whenever i turn on my phone it takes no less than 10 minutes for the HTC Sense to load up and tht gets annoying when u gotta call or text someone ASAP (or update ur facebook status). the chien home screen is always there to say hi right after the windows splash screen disappears. the second reason is im a photographer/designer so i get to set a pic as my today screen and i can enjoy it w/o anything obstructing its veiw.. but thats more of a personal thing.
as mr8820 said its all about ur own personal taste. browse around and find watcha like
Hope i helped
many cdma roms are listed on ppcgeeks.com
man this phone is soooo slow lol and i honestly DONT know where to even start or how to start i knew android in and out haha can some one please point me to a fast rom that looks as good as it runs and what i need to install please i been searching but im gettin confused
As already stated, everybody has different tasted in ROMs, so there is no way to tell you what the the best available for you without first trying them. PPCGeeks does have a larger CDMA following than XDA-Developers currently has.
I am in the process of preparing an updated CDMA ROM now, and it will be released exclusively here on XDA. My older CDMA ROMs can be found on PPCGeeks now (link in my signature). My ROMs lean towards performance over appearance and flashiness.
Sup xda, my names Bilal and this is my first time posting here. I do have a question though but I've got a lot I want to talk to you guys about
I got my tmobile mytouch 3g about 4 days ago. On the first day my cousin had already told me about this site and how beneficial it would be to me real soon xD. The next day I had already begun looking up important things i needed to know to end up with a custom rom on my phone. I looked up the specifications to my phone (like checking the radio and SPL versions) I found out my phone was a 32B and had new SPL and Radio. I found out the Roms that would be compatible with my phone as well as the method to go about doing it. the next 2 days basically consisted of my going through over like 15-20 different methods over my phone (but all of them basically had the same routine). I mean, you have to root it then get a custom recovery than flash the custom rom. But this is simplified as I'm pretty sure i searched and found 3-4 different ways for the simplified root recovery rom steps. Anyways it was real frustrating since I failed many times on all 3 steps . Anyways with the new SPL Radio 32b Mytouch phone 2.2.1 (since i idiotically upgraded it to 2.2.1) just flashed cyanogenmod 6.1.0 about 30 minutes ago. Haha I'm so excited to see the possibilities.
I wanted to thank this whole site and the people from the unlockr because i searched a ton of guides and Google'd over 50 questions to figure out the process suited for me and even though it ended being extremely easy compared to the people who had to work hard to develop all the things involved in making Rom Manager, Clockworkmod and Armons Custom recoveries, and every easy step in the process that we take for granted. I didn't have a clue in programming scripting developing software or ROM's for anything before flashing my phone. After doing it I still don't have much of a clue even though I feel like I did learn a whole lot I know I'm way more interested in learning how things work.
You could have probably skipped this whole essay and went straight to the question though xD.
My question at this point was what exactly are all the possibilities (or some that I'm not aware of) that my phone has now that it has flashed cyanogenmod 6.1.0
One thing that I have definitely noticed and feel that alone, was worth the 4 days of tirelessly failing, is that my phone has become a lot faster, and I mean in everything that it does, from opening applications to loading videos on youtube. I know I could probably search this as well but I just wanted to advice directed towards me as far as what to do next? Ive been messing around with the themes (can only use ADW as far as I know) but was wonting to find a live unlock pattern screen? I found one on youtube and I'm 90 percent sure the guy had the exact same phone as me. Also any advice on details for upgrading the overall performance on my device would be great help.
Thanks guys glad to be here
Glad that you learned some stuff. Stay around here for a while and you'll learn alot more. Anyways, yes, there are many possibilities available for you. For one, I would advise updating to CyanogenMod 7. Just go here: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices/htc-slide and choose a category to suit you. NB: The "Experimental" build category is not as "dangerous" as it sound. These build are actually Release Candidates which mean they are almost (if not) good enough to be a Stable build. Since you're just beginning, you may just want to use a stable build for now. But later on, you may change your mind. There are also many apps you may want to try like: SetCPU (to make your device even faster than it is now and/or to save battery life, Titanium Backup, Rom Manager, etc. ADW is NOT the only launcher you can use. It just came as the main launcher for your rom. There are many other launchers like Launcher Pro, etc. For the "live lockscreen pattern, you could try Ripple Lock (Honeycomb Lockscreen) or the sense 3.0 lockscreen found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1190071 . Cheers!
I just installed the Newest Xoom Zone Rom with functioning Camera and HDMI, and I love it. I was going to post this in the Dev forum for the Rom, but because I'm a noob it won't let me. Is there any way to port the Face Lock from the Nexus to a Xoom. I tried the simple, copy .apk to the system install of the zip before I flashed it, and it crashes when I go to set it up. Face Lock appears under the security heading, but it doesn't function. I like this feature on my Nexus, and I think it would work great on a tablet. Is there a way to make this function on the Xoom, or will we have to hope Google releases a way to build it?

It would be great to have it in deed! But if i were you i should post it into antother section.
Functionality like this will come in time.. We have really only had ics for 30 or so days and alot of devs are working hard on core functions and ensuring it is stable, we only got cam and hdmi in the last few days... Also other devs not associated with the builds may be able to come up with a solution but it may require libs or other files as u have seen just an apk drop wont cut it.. Or the apk itself may need porting for tablets or the xoom specifically, personally i dont know i wish i did. i do think though face unlock will come soon as alot of people are like yourself and want it... i would like it myself

I wasn't trying to *****, believe me I'm so impressed with the Dev support of this thing. I don't really know a lot about programming or any of that stuffs, and I wasn't sure if anyone had any insight to offer in getting this to work. It seems like the only way that is happening is by testing apart the APK and there is NO way I'm smart enough to do that. I was surprised when I saw the camera support already. Im just really hoping there is a way for this to work eventually, it seems like this is more suited to a tablet than a phone, and hopefully we get this working eventually.
