looks like there is a new update for hero phones...can it be ported for 32a boards?
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...018/02-09-1-5-modaco-custom-hero-rom-is-here/
I don't understand what's so special about this ROM.
I was reading the description and among all there's one application (that you can get it apart of this ROM) and that's it..
I know who can port it, I don't but, why you want it so much?
Is this the update that made hero smoother?
You linked to a ROM that has nothing to do with hero update.
Invalid link source.
That doesn't have much to do with the described topic.
I was willing to provide some assistance, however - I was misled.
Thanks, but no thanks.
Hi!
I already searched, but the search function sucks.
I'm new to the Magic ROMs (I made Dream ROMs) and I want to know how to port ROMs from the Dream to the Magic.
Is the wlan.ko from the dream compatible with the Magic?
Does it need a different kernel?
I know I need to rename the *trout files in the Ramdisk/Boot.img.
Is there anything else?
If you tell me how to do this, you'll get a veryy nice Hero.. ;-) I promise.
Thanks for your help.

check this thread for 32a cyanogen ports. BUT at the top of the thread there is instructions provided by Amon_ra about how to port your own.
Thanks but I think it's different for 32B and ROM's other than Cyanogen (He already made his build compatible with 32B)

Here it is << click
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 guys,
Over at the HTC Hero forum I have been developing a kitchen to help ordinary people learn how to build their own ROM. It allows you to do basic things such as rooting a shipped ROM, adding apps2sd, modifying the task killer memory threshold, etc.
The appropriate settings are now in place to make it work for the Magic.
Here is the link to the kitchen:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
Before you flash your new custom ROM made from this kitchen, please make a Nandroid backup first of your existing ROM!
Thank you, and enjoy!
Just a question - is there a Wiki page which lists all the shipped ROMs available for the Magic? I couldn't find any on my own. I only found the ones at the htc.com site.
...
Hi man, i just want to thank you for your kitchen, i dont know a answer to your question
but i want to reserve this post,
my plan is to make a short instruction on how to port a rom from hero, using your kitchen... (hope its ok with you)
not a full how to, but som guidence... cause i am still learning and still making many misstakes...
But i am gonna try to make my best.
I DONT HAVE TIME TO MAKE IT NOW... LATER.

That's a good idea, and that also gives me another idea for the kitchen.
Usually when we port a ROM from another device, we just replace the other device's boot.img-kernel with our own device's boot.img-kernel. Although there may be issues with driver incompatibility, this is the general way to get the ROM booting. (Also you have to make sure you use the correct base address when using mkbootimg)
Wow
sorry it's off topic but damn good to see dsixda over here on android. I remember your roms from my diamond and elfin. Now i think a nexus one is my next device if you're cooking for em lol. As for the kitchen i think this is an amazing idea to get some more chefs in the game.

Hey man, I remember you ;-) The kitchen is working for Nexus One. However, I'm not cooking ROMs this time because public ROMs are too much work when you want to satisfy hundreds of people at once The kitchen will take the load off the cooks and also provide an enjoyable learning experience for people who want to customize a ROM the way they like it. We already have someone who has made a public ROM from this kitchen, and hopefully there will be more!
I am still looking for the downloadable shipped rom. hopefully it would be found soon. i looked on the htc site but i guess i am still lost. but thanks again for something great.
Sounds like fun. I'll try it out on myTouch 1.2

You can try this as well:

so with this one should be able to build roms from any rom to try make it work on your phone?

As long as they are Magic ROMs, then yes they should work.
ok so the base has to be magic for it to work, so in total it is to maske it easier to modify roms to your liking? no porting ect?

Yes you need a Magic ROM as your base. In theory it should work with any Magic ROM, but I'm not 100% familiar with all the variants of the HTC Magic so maybe there are incompatibilities?
I'll be working on porting ROMs later in the day.. I have to try the new porting scripts on my Hero first.
ok, i will give it a go when we can try porting a bit more fun working with android 2.1
i just noticed a problem with the T-Mobile myTouch 3G ROMs, as my script only looks for "HTC Magic" in the build.prop and not T-Mobile myTouch 3G... I'll get to fixing that soon. I'll check for "sapphire" instead, which is more generic.
Ok I have put up an update to the kitchen, version 0.24. This one should recognize all ROMs from all variants of the HTC Magic (e.g. T-Mobile myTouch 3G).
Also another option has been added, which will allow you to port a ROM from another Android device to your Magic (it will boot up but you may have to make some changes to get everything working properly, such as drivers). Has been tested on an HTC Hero.
