Like the title says I am new to the Mytouch. I rooted my Sprint Hero about a month ago and I love what I was able to get out of it. My girlfriend seeing my happiness with it has since asked me if it would make her Mytouch run better. So basically she wants me to root her phone and add a good ROM. I have herard of cyanogen and all but what would be a good daily Rom for her. Just something quicker and better on battery. I know what setcpu can do for my phone. But whats the best for a MyTouch3g? Thank you in advance.

Depends how she uses her phone... what firmware she wants (1.6 or 2.1) and either Vanilla Donut or s Sense rom
Needs more details on exactly which MyTouch 3G it is, as right now there's 4 variants
- MyTouch 3G (v1) with 32B SPL (aka Magic 32B)
- MyTouch 3G (v1) with 32A SPL (aka Magic 32A)
- MyTouch 3G LE (Limited Edition Fender, 32A)
- MyTouch 3G 1.2 (32A with headphone jack)
The last two are essentially identical, and are currently the only two MyTouch 3Gs actively sold (other than any old stock of the v1), but is also the only ones that has no real custom roms, if you want to root the last two you have to read very carefully which procedure you're using since its not the same ones as the Magic 32B/A. For example the only real working rooting process is linked in my signature for the last two and currently limited to the stock rom as being the fully functional one.
As you're probably already aware with your Sprint phone... you shouldn't just blindly flash radios/boots etc as you find them cuz it wouldn't be hard at all to brick the Fender or MyTouch 3G 1.2, by flashing a radio intended for the older MyTouches (ie: any thread that talks about Magic 32A or 32B)
I would be looking for a 1.6 build. I wanna give her something daily/stable and usable. Vanilla is fine seeing thats what she is used to. I duno what version of the MYTouch it is I know its not a Fender and it doesnt have the 3.5 mm headphone jack. When she bought it it was 1.5 and like a day later it upped to 1.6. Like with my phone I am doing my research. Dont wanna brick her phone. She would kill me and cut me in my sleep.

Since it doesn't have the 3.5mm headphone jack on top, it would be the original MyTouch 3G, which leaves you a lot of options both 32A and 32B (though you'll see a lot more choices including Cyanogenmod for 32B).
If she were to downgrade back to the 1.5 rom, I think CM has a one-click-rooting capability.
Instructions can be found here. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
After completion should have a rooted 1.6 cyanogenmod rom.

In that case i think Cyanogen is perfect because it's stable and usually gets updated every month or so and not all the time every week got to flash a new update with new problems

Im confused, just got my MyTouch 3G and i was looking through the magic screenshot thread
and this is how i want my phone to look
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

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?

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?

(taken from engadget)
Droid, Milestone, Eris, Moment, Spica, even the Hero, all have had their Eclair, one way or another. G1 and myTouch 3G? Not so much. But don't worry, Android early adopters, because Cyanogen's got your back. Most all the bells, whistles and hardware-accelerated graphics of Android 2.1 are coming to the HTC Dream, Magic and Sapphire in CyanogenMod 5.0.7, and you can see a video of a T-Mobile G1 running the new build after the break. Twitter buzz indicates the ROM will be out any minute now; the dev himself tweeted that it's ready to go and just needs G1-friendly bite size packaging.
There is video also.

www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=3HVBVlAui3s&feature=player_embedded
Update: Don't stay up all night waiting -- Cyanogen says he's got "two more bugs to kill" and is "hoping for a test1 public beta tomorrow night."
Sweet this is really gonna annoy my bro xD he's been banging on about his nexus and how much it cost and how great 2.1 is
what about 32A?
this looks great!!!!...cannot wait for this to come out. I have tried some other various ports of the 2.1 they all seemed very choopy and needed alot more work... I am a very busy guy that needs stuff to work when I tap the screen to make it work, Cant wait around for things to happen....Cyanogen's build looks very smooth and responds very well....when will we know when it gets released?
For the latest news, including the release (which should be tonight according to cyanogen) you can keep an eye on twitter(DOT)com/cyanogen
I haven't really looked forward to the release of a ROM in a while. If what Cyanogen is saying in his Twitter is all correct (everything working with 2.1), then this one is the one.

I totally agree with you on this one.....I was having a hard time putting the latest super D rom back onto my G1 after flashing one of the other 2.1 ports...so I am now currently running [ROM]TheOfficial DONUT TMO, ADP & AOSP (dream/magic)(EBI0/EBI1) [3/17/2010] -- v2.6.3 (which is also found here btw) with the Buuf theme...it is an alright ROM but this 2.1 port that Mr. Cyanogen released with help with other various "modders"....it looks great...flashin it as I am typing (YAY)
THANX TO ALL MODDERS INVOLVED WITH THIS BUILD
just a quick thought....i just finished flashing this rom to my G1 and I was thinking that it would be cool to add the nexus "X" boot screen that would cross over into the cyanogen symbol....would try to make it myself but I do not have the slightest clue on how to do that!!
Just to let everyone know the rom is up and running great. I got it on my mt3g 32B. Only thing is that the LED notification light is purple. Could anyone please tell me how to change it. thanks.
Does this work with the mytouch 1.2 with 3.5 jack? I am new to this and hoping to get some help. I just want to make sure I got this right.
1. Backup my phone. What do I use to do this?
2. Root my phone.
3. Flash phone with new rom.
If anyone could point me in the right direction on how to flash a phone I would appreciate it. Thanks

2.2 can get pretty slow at times.
It has been 2 yrs, time for an upgrade.
The G1 has been stretched to its limits, it is now time to put the phone to rest.
I don't think 2.3 is available on AOSP yet. The CM crew won't start working on a gingerbread ROM until that's available and most of the ROMs for the G1 are based on CM.

Why is it so important for you guys to have 2.3...Face it, our G1s are just 2 year old devices. Jebus. Just get the money to buy a new phone, and then you can get gingerbread. So please stop making such pointless threads for a rom that will probably be unstable until 5 months after release.
We've lost all good dev support. The G1 ain't gonna get anything soon *goes back to play with hd2*

You think it is SLOW!? No, not on my G1, if Your using CM6 or CM6.1 then YOU do not have the right settings, my phone was going slow with CM6 UNTIL I did this speed guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8397178&postcount=4048 then it was pretty smooth from what I remember. Since then I changed my ROM to the latest BiffMod and it was AMAZINGLY fast at default settings, I just changed a few settings just like I was suppose just like what it said in the install guide and installed setCPU and it was even faster. Then I changed my radio and SPL to the new ones that enable 15Mb of extra RAM and its EVEN FASTER than before with BiffMod. If you think that your G1 was slow running 2.2 then you either weren't using the right ROM or you didn't have the right settings. And I think I heard something about "Any phone that can run 2.2 can run 2.3 if not better." I forgot where I heard that at but I think it was on these forums.

No, it's by far one of the best SO that my phone has had. Using the settings in my signature i get sometimes 52 Mb free, with the aid of kill memory optimizer in agressive settings my battery also last much longer.
Also if there is a 2.3 for Magic there is going to be for the Dream, since they share the same hardware minus the extra ROM that the Magic has.

3 - Magic has gingerbread port but for 6.35 radio (32A board), that's why Dream can't run it.
I find it funny how people argue over things that are subjective. 'Fast' and 'slow' don't actually mean anything, everyone's perception will be different, based on the other devices they have experience with...

I Had SuperCSDI v4, It flies just like my Froyo and it was my rom for really long time until SuperAtmel came with SuperEclair 8.8. I bet you have never tested one of his roms. Kill memory optimizer is for keeping memory priority on the apps that are on screen, foreground and the not to hungry memory ones on the background, just like donut.
Just got my new Inspire 4G (at&t). I'm going to root (obviously the stock is unusable) but I am very confused. I'm going to use Ace Hack kit to Root, etc. I keep seeing posts about flashing the Radio as well. Do I need to? I'm in Manhattan with decent reception.
IS there a Dalingrin kernel that works on Inspire? If not, what OC kernel is best?
Also, I'm thinking of using CM7 or LeeDroid. Any pros or cons for either? Must I change the radio with either?
Thanks lads, cheers m8s!
You may need to change your radio if you don't have the 06.06.30 radio and LeeDroid is my favorite sense ROM if I ever go back to sense and cm7 is excellent smooth as butter but I like MIUI better. If you have a chance try it out you won't regret it. And Leedroid sense kernel is the best for sense my opinion and Lord kernel for AOSP is AMAZING

i also came from aria.. i never changed no radio, kept using the same radio that hack kit installs it was running fine but i just recently changed it to new att radio just for the sake of it....not that i needed it...
More often then not you wont need to flash a radio even if the rom says recommended. It's just just that recommended. Stay with the stock radio and see how it preforms.
Welcome.
I came from the Aria too and I think you'll love the Inspire. Since you're coming from Aria then I'm sure you're familiar with ATTN1 and his IRC channel; you won't find a better bunch to help you. Read up on the rooting process. It is more complicated than the Aria, but the payoff is greater in that you get true S-OFF and a wide open platform to experiment on once you're done.
I rooted my first Inspire manually using the cyanogen wiki guide:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=AT&T_Inspire_4G:_Rooting
The hack kit essentially automates this for you, but it doesn't hurt to read over the above guide to get an idea what's going on. Read and re-read the effen manual in the hack kit too. In a nutshell, HTC locked it down pretty good, but the chink in their armor was that it is essentially the same as a DesireHD and with a little trickery, you can get the Inspire to "downgrade" itself to an older DHD ROM that was the basis for all the rooting work done on the DHD way back when. Once "downgraded" the gfree utility frees it up (and really frees it up opening the carrier lock and SIM lock and giving you true S-OFF capability). From there, you can install any of the many ROMs available for this beast and have a ton of fun.
Is the inspire the official aria upgrade phone? Seems like more and more people myself included have come over from that phone. as people have said though the radio thing is up for debate I've switched to the newer at&t one and haven't had any issues but have heard people take both sides on the matter. I have to say for starters such with the one you start with it's always possible to change it latter.

Rooted last night!!!!
Used the Ace Hack kit. Done and rooted in a few minutes. Awesome work lads! Love 'really' owning my phones.
As for the Aria-to-Inspire upgrades people are doing lots of, my change was necessitated by a facedown drop that smashed my screen into a gajillion pieces.
Cheers m8s!

Well, as far as ATT is concerned, its a superior HTC phone. So if your an HTC fan, it would be the natural choice.
Or if you're a disgruntled ex-captivate owner, like me.
Agreed it would be an upgrade from the aria. And from the captivated to in IMHO
It's an upgrade from the LG EXPO as well.

I must agree it was certainly an upgrade especially since the aria has only just gotten a means to get s-off. Its awesome to have this much control over the phone.
