Simple question...
I'd like to know if the rumors are true.... Are us Magic 32A users going to have the Sense UI (Hero) ROMs in October?
Does this mean that maybe, just maybe, we might have working bluetooth headsets and LEDs in a ROM that's built for the Magic?
I noticed that the HTC Hero and the HTC Magic 32A (Rogers) have identical specs, so can we expect similar performance and features?
Open to discussion, and I'd like to see some ROM developers state their case on this one too.
Ok so i have some dirty time with the new fender mt3g.
heres what i pulled off it so far

nice..a 32A set..i assume this will be bumped to 2.1 or 2.0.1 by t-mo in a few months. this way we all can upgrade to android 2.x without having sense ui..i like this..
does this run the sense ui?
I notice it runs donut, an official donut+sense would be awesome.

no sense ui. This is basically an upgraded MT3G. So it is still a google experiance phone, therefore no HTC customizations on it.
which is even better
the only thing that is upgraded is the new 3.5 headphone jack and the paint...other than that, same freaking phone.

Well for us in the us its a little different. More ram and more onboard memory. Also comes with a snazzy 16gb card. Class 2 though.
I have to give it back today. So is there anything anybody needs off this bad boy?
Did you notice if it had a different music player???
Like you pointed out this myTouch has the 32A board vs. the 32B board in the other myTouch devices and therefore has more memory on-board in addition to the 16GB microSD card and 3.5mm jack.
It also comes preloaded with more music.
I think T-Mobile would be in a strange situation should the Fender myTouch get the 2.1 upgrade and the regular myTouch not get it. People will complain either way I guess until finally you must leave behind the old at some point and cut off upgrades.
Yeah it has a new music player and a bunch of fender sponsored music.

It might not have Sense UI.
But once the devs here get their hands on the Rogers HTC Magic dump of Android 2.1 + Sense UI you will be able to load it up onto this phone.
With a bit of work I'm assuming since it will probably be shipped with a perfected SPL (I'm guessing 0013 is a perfected SPL)

How is it better? =[ Sense UI is awesome!
Would the gold card method work to root this sucker? I think the "1.2" mytouch will have this hardware, so there should be a few of these floating around. would existing roms work on this or would they slight modification to work with different hardware (3.5mm headset Jack)?
music player
does somebody have the music player from the fender mt3g?
The fender mytouch music player app looks just like RockOn.
RockOn is open source so they just might have played with it...
At least it's inspired by RockOn music player
Thanks for the info. I will try it.
Its the HTC music app, possibly the same one on heros?
So this is a 32A with 288MB of RAM, and a 2.22 Radio version...
Does anyone if it's possiblve to get the radio.img from this device?
Reason I'm asking is that I think that if this radio could be used on a 32A, then it would allow the entire 288MB of RAM to be presented to the OS and still run 32B(ish) ROMs...
Any information would be great.
Thanks,

Thats so dumb of tmo to make the MT3G have 192 while Fender has 288..I would feel cheated if i got the Mt3G with less ram. But average consumer wouldnt know the diff.
That is B.S.
So HTC shouldn't make improvements to their hardware because early adopters might be upset? I don't get that rationale. Isn't that the way the technology ball rolls?
Anyhow, let's get back to rooting this sucker (also keep in mind future MT3G/Magic will likely have the same hardware, minus the guitar shell and preloaded music apps).
I wonder if an engineering SPL (1.33.2005+) would work? Would current 32A roms jive ok with the different radio this thing has? Safe to assume ROMs would need some modifications to accommodate the 3.5mm headset jack?
I have a TP2 on Verizon. It's running the Verizon release of Windows Mobile 6.5 and I use the Touch Flo interface.
I used to flash my Treo WX to homebrew ROMs, so I understand the process, but I"m having a hard time finding what I believe to be the most current release of the HTC interface (Sense 2.5.x?) and the best (probably boils down to opinion from what I can tell), but I'm really lookoing for a good stripped down ROM without any verizon extras, running the newest release of the HTC interface.
There's just so many options, I can't tell what to get and what to package with what. Can anyone lend me a hand?
Juicy rom is a nice 2.5 rom. Also people really tend to like the Energy roms, I believe energy leo is the energy rom you want to download, not pheonix.
Check them out over here:

yep, leo is the CDMA rom, its the one i use on my sprint TP2
its just been updated to include sense 2.5.2012

Thanks people. This was what i needed. The Energy ROM post had the instructions i was looking for.
Howdy developers,
I'm very new to this modding community and understand no modding slang =[
I have a Vodafone HTC Magic and my friend has a HTC Magic with 3.
His Magic has a sense UI update and has lots of cool applications etc that I cannot get. Has anyone created an android 1.6 OS with sense UI? or anything similiar?
Thanks!
The Vodafone branded magic is the same as the T-Mobile MyTouch 3G (32B).
Any of the ROMS marked [32B] in these fora should run fine on your phone.
Be wary of the different radio and SPL versions required.
There's heaps of information around and most of the people on here are very helpful and friendly.
Good luck and happy modding!
Hmmm mine is vodafone branded, but it-s a 32A Magic!
Check the box, it should tell you what kind of phone do you have.
First, start by knowing what kind of phone do you have, and work youre way up. The pieces will fall like in a puzzle, and pretty soon you will know how to root, change a radio, flash a rom, etc...
Best of luck!

start phone while pressing back+power and give people the infomation you see on the fastboot screen
It also sounds like he is running 1.6 which doesn't have Sense. For sense you'll need either a 1.5 or 2.1 with sense. Sense is nice but I'd rather use 1.6 than a 1.5 but if you really want it then I've had good results using Cursorsense. A 2.1 rom might not be stable or fast enough yet.
check your vodafone site, in portugal was already released the new version ROM with sense ui.
O.K., so i know that not that many people would want sense on their phones, but some poeple out there would, especially if its sense 3.0, poeple say that its not that possible , but someone on the forums did, but is an older version of sense ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827769 ) but i think that it would become very popular in the forums, and c'mon, why do htc phones get all of the good roms?! anyways hope someone can port sense 3.0 for the captivate community.
Imo, it's outdated.
3.0 is quite a bit different from 1.0 and 2.0 builds. HTC isn't even going to allow their current phones upgrade to it(that includes Incredible 2 and Thunderbolt). I imagine a 3.0 theme wouldn't be difficult, but a 3.0 ROM might be more trouble than it's worth, considering that Sense is pretty lag-tastic as it is.
One of the biggest issues is that HTC uses alot of closed source drivers and stuff for sense. As for why they get all the good Roms, well HTC is more user freindly then say Samsung or Motorola.
