Hi I just got a HTC Magic 32a. I am a noob to Android, the phone itself is already rooted with the Cyanogen rom installed. I want to put a different ROM, which one do you guys recommend? I can follow the hacking wiki but just need to know what is a good stable rom with everything working. I am also in Canada with Rogers don't know if it makes a difference in terms of which rom to select.
I use to flash WM toms all the time but this seems more difficult.
Thanks in advance.
there is a Q&A section begging for your thread
this is not the place

i did a hardspl and i am using microlabs newest rom and despite what everyone else says its really glitchy and has frozen up soo many times on me and i wanna just use ivanmmj's justme clean rom and install touchflo 2d (if there is even a way to do that). anyway do i need to go back to an orginal tmobile rom or can i just flash another rom over the microlab one? sorry i just dont wanna brick my fone
You can flash over it. Just remember: JustMe requires that you flash through an SD card formatted as FAT32.
Also, installing TouchFLO2D is possible on ANY ROM. (TouchFLO2D itself is VERY buggy, though.)
On a different note: You may get a warning from the MOD for posting this here. Please remember that the Development subforum is to talk about Developing ROMs. Normally, you'd want to post in one of the other Herald subforums.
thx alot but also under the subforum has a description that says rom issues as well as rom development thats why i posted here, sorry if its in the wrong place and again thx for the help
hehe I always thought about stating that but never did

I am a newbie when it comes to flashing a WinMob Phone. I currenly have the HTC Fuze on a AT&T network and I hate it. The interface is slow and clunky. I am on the fence about buying a new phone but if there is a way to get to a better ROM I think I would give it a try. Is there a ROM for WinMob 6.5 to work with this phone?
Thanks!
You will probably want to visit the ROM forum. There are _lots_ of WM 6.5 ROMs available.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=440
Check out the various ROMs posted there (including how-to-flash FAQ!).
as xda_fanboy says, check the rom development forums and read up on the guide to flashing roms.
I'm currently using Energy ROM 6.5 "warhawk" edition. I like it, there are a few bugs, but nothing that bothers me. it's faster and more efficient..
on a side note, if you have questions, ask specific questions (i.e What does hardspl mean?) not over general ones (which rom should I use? how do i flash roms). Most of your questions should be answered by the FAQ provided in the rom forum.
enjoy!
I've been using various Cyanogen and Hero ROMs since June and have now reverted back to the stock Vodafone UK ROM. In general the stock stuff is fine, it's quick and bluetooth audio works for phone and media. I need root access though to use Bluex for bluetooth file send/receive and pushing the HTC_IME keyboard
What I'd like to know is does anyone know how to root the new Donut release?
I've tried the Haykuro's rootmesigned but get a FC and constant reboot...it was worth a try
there is already a full solution for you.

I used it on mine and works perfectly, no flaws. Install that and you are done.
yeah there is a way. but im not going to answer because this is in the wrong section. read the stickies up top, search around, then post in the right section and maybe you will get more answers.

Aw gee thanks...NOT
If you don't have anything contructive to add then don't.
I spent hours searching and read through countless threads. For your info I have been installing ROMS since they came out in May (before the Wiki was in place), have contributed and would you believe it I have even been thanked for my help, I am comfortable with using ADB, Fastboot etc, am familiar with linux and have read the stickies.
Is asking about a rooted ROM not developement? Have YOU read the stickies because from what I have read, surprise surprise, in this section there is a sticky up above here about hacking and rooting. As far as I'm aware any developement focused questions would be posted in the developement section not general.
If I'm wrong them I'm quite happy to follow the MODS rules and their directions.
Are you going to repeat your post with questions about OTA updates being in the wrong section too?
P.S. the very helpful 'htcmagic' had already spoiled it for you
@BigRD: no problem mate, glad i could help. I installed the rom above and i am extremely happy with it. I have also installed busybox on it too.
Its much faster that vodafones original.
Hey mate, try Amon_Ra's Donut Rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538645
Very fast and stable with Root and others. I'm using it on my vodafone magic. Works really nice.
Or alternatively just go back to Cyanogen. Its Donut and it has more features than any other rom on this site so...its all up to you
@widezu69 & @htcmagic Cool, thanks guys.
I spent a lot of time with Cyanogen's ROMs up until the Google thing happened and was running eViL's Hero ROMs up to v3.0. I wanted to get back to a smoothish stock ROM issued by my network supplier but rooted by one of the great developers on XDA. I keep finding that other than the Vodafone original and the Google ION ROM bluetooth audio for phone and multi media working at the same time is very hit or miss. Am going to give both versions posted here a try over the next few days
Another one who wants a Rooted Vodafone Donut
I am also searching for a method to root a stock Vodafone Magic 32B that has had an OTA Donut update.
The answers on the thread so far involve flashing a new Donut Rom - my issue is that I have Donut already, and have never rooted - I am assuming the Root instructions included in the Wiki and Relentless Rooter are only aimed at Cupcake.....or am I wrong?
Any help/advice appreciated....
rooting the magic 1.6
Hi folks, dito as above. I've been up half the night trying to work this out. Have recently bought an htc magic from vodafone, and been 'updated' to doughnut 1.6. Not bad, but I'm really keen to get root on this, and eventually install the latest rom from cyanogen...
Seems there are now a few issues for people like me wanting to root their handsets... so far I've managed to erase my user settings, but keep getting errors trying to flash a rom. Followed the link above to nk02's thread, and no luck. Same issue, update aborts. There must be an easier way...
nk02 says his ROM works with 'wipe + flash'. How the heck do I do that? Seems this latest update to 1.6 has made all the other methods of gaining root obsolete... I'm far from a linux novice, and would love some advice here. And please don't tell me to keep searching, solid help would be appreciated. Cheers.
Sorry for the double posting , I posted in the wrong section!
Hi guys
I have this old HTC Galaxy 100/Dopod P100 that runs WM 5. I want to upgrade it to WM6+, but there aren't any roms for this device on this forum. Can I download a WM6 ROM and fine tune it for this device(add drivers, fix resolutions etc.)? If so, how can I do it? Please help me!!!
Thanks

Galaxy is pretty old hardware, you can't just download any 6.x rom. It has to be for your device. As far as rebuilding a 6.x rom for your device, I think that the resources needed to run a 6.x rom would either be beyond what you have of would leave you no room for anything else.
In any case, you can start here.

Looking through the forum right now hopefully I can upgrade the device
Hello everyone,
I have frequented XDA for a long time and have been rooting/unlocking my phones since I've had my first smartphone (s3). Until now, I haven't really had any questions pertaining to installing custom roms and the like.
My question is - can I install m8 roms that say they are for "all variants"? I ask because I'd like to start trying out different roms such as the AICP rom but have no idea if it will work on my phone. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I currently have an unlocked m8 running the GPE Marshmallow H10 rom found in the Android Dev section of this forum.

The way I see it, You better off flashing a ROM which has a thread within this forum. Otherwise it may not work "out of the box" sort to speak.
You actually have to make sure the "All Variants" is meant for the current version you're trying to flash. For instance, new Viper 5.x only works on unlocked/sprint. I think I tried one of the all variants ROMs once and it needed special modifications to work correctly. *shrug*
You could also ask in the AICP thread if there's anything special which needs to be flashed/modified for it to work.
