I come here very often to look for roms for my mytouch 32b, but all I see mostly is 32a roms, can someone direct me to a place that has a good amount of roms for my 32b device please, oh and ty devs for all the hard work you to for us flashers.
Most roms for Dream should also be capable with 32B, so look in the Dream section.
Search first next time.

sapphire is 32a
go to the dream 32b forum
search is your friend
We hid them from you. We knew you were coming and moved them.
lol, Check the G1/dream section. Thats what you want
re
I have been to the dream section and have used it for a while, but I decided to come over here and look at roms for my mytouch, and sapphire is 32a and 32b, I'm looking for a very fast hero because I use jetflicks and it has a great video player that remembers where I left off.

so you dont listen to what we told you?
32b is identical to the g1 - therefore 32b roms are for the dream
you are only going to find 32a roms and a couple 32b roms in this section -
your 32b phone is not really compatible with the 6.XX radio so any roms will likely not be posted here as mytouch 32b is the same as a g1 so its under the appropriate section (notice most roms are built for both mt3g and g1)
32a is for EBI 1 dreams and 32a magics - 32b magics can use ebi1 radio 3.xx but is not reccomended since the 32b roms are generally built specifically for your device
your best hero rom will be kingklicks
I did listen and no one made it that clear, they said they hid them ( joking of course ) I'm not a noob at this but I'm not a developer either and I am new to the mytouch I have had a g1 forever. Your post was very informative and cleared up everyting thank-you for taking the time too esplain luccy lol. (alan)

is there a way to get wifi tether for root users on the I/O device to work. Seems like there is something missing from the os. I saw an outdated post where it says to upgrade the kernal but stops other things from working and didn't want to do that. My friend also on here is trying to make a rom for the device with the hero theme on it and I asked him he said he will look into it but didn't really know. If anyone knows would be greatly appreciated.

It's built in to the Smartphone France ROMs
I'm also desperate to get tethering on my magic (running a hero rom) any help greatly appreciated, as i'm moving soon and don't want an ISP!
this has been answered before, if you have a 32B magic almost every custom rom supports it, and if you have a 32A magic the answer is not possible for now.

There's the first benefit of having a 32B over 32A! I'm not as upset about my 32B anymore Though this will change, i'm sure.

I had wireless tethering running no problem on my 32B. The thing is, I've installed so many ROMS lately that I can't remember which one I had installed when it was working. All I know is that it was a Hero ROM.

To be honest, I'd swap my 32B for a 32A right now, even if the tethering app never worked on a 32A. I just want more ram after seeing a HTC Hero running with Rosie.
If there's only a ram difference between 32A and B then why doesnt the Tethering app work already? I thought all it required was root access? The 32A has been rooted... hasn't it?

tether
Yen if you have a 32B board sapphire you can look back a few posts and flash my hero build which is a port from jac dream build to the magic hardware. It has wick tether built in on the rim and works fine. The one with the wifi fix is back a few pages. Bur works good and quick.
Hi all,
I've been waiting for the HTC Magic 32A kernel source for some time so that I can compile netfilter/iptables support into the kernel. I would really like to tether my phone to my laptop while I'm out of the office.
I notice that most of the 32B ROMs have support for tethering.
Would it be possible to flash a 32B radio on to my 32A device and then use the 32B ROMs?
I'm reasonably comfortable flashing the radio on my phone, but I don't want to go through the procedure if it's not going to work.
Could somebody point me in the right direction please?

1 caveat. The 32A loses it's memory advantage. The 32B radio doesnt seem to allow the phone to see all of its memory...kernel issue probably. That's why not all 32A users have switched...we like our memory!

Yes, and that's why I bought a 32a version in the first place!!
Yeah, I've noticed that the ROM that I flashed the morning (nk02 32B) is running a fair bit slower than its 32A counterpart. I think I can handle this until the 32A source is released and I can tether using a 32A ROM.
In the meantime though, I'm quite happy with the 3.5G data while out of the office.

OK, I couldn't handle how slow my phone was running. It was painful! Waiting for the Apps tray to open sometimes took 15 seconds. And when I unlock the screen, I get a Close/Wait prompt for android.acore. I tried a couple different 32B ROMs but they were all pretty slow compared to the performance I'm used to. I'm sure if I didn't need to have so many apps installed and have the Hero theme it would be a lot faster...
As for the tethering, I found an application called AziLink. It doesn't use the iptables/netfilter functionality, but runs more like a VPN server through adb. It's buggy as hell, and disconnects all the time, but it'll do for now.
Hi all!
OK, so I had some spare time on my hands this afternoon and I came up with something pretty neat.
Ever notice how the HTC Hero and the HTC Magic 32A are nearly identical in specs? Same processor, same ROM, same RAM... Then why do all these devs port the HTC Hero ROMs over to 32B/Dream and then we get to try to port them to 32A? It always ends up being a mess of custom work and the problem of 'too many chefs in the kitchen'. I'm not slamming anyone's hard work here, but I wanted to find some other way.
The HTC Hero uses nearly identical radio and SPL as the new radio and SPL for the Magic 32A.
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-24-11-hero-roms-radios-in-update-zip-format/
My device:
HTC Magic 32A
Radio: 6.35.07.29
SPL: 1.76.2007
Hero ROM used - HTC Generic 2.73 (rooted)
Changes Made that affect functionality:
- replaced boot.img and wlan.ko from CursorSense32A-0.3
- Umm, that's it...
What works:
- Wifi
- Camera
- LEDs
Untested (because I'm at work!)
- Bluetooth (pairs with my laptop, but can't test audio or a2dp)
Cosmetics
- Bluetooth name is HTC Hero
As you can see, it already works better than the initial HTC Hero stuff we got from the Dream devs before.
Am I stupid? Why did I do this when there is already a proper HTC Sense ROM for the Magic 32A? Because right now the Dream/32B devs have in their possession the HTC Hero 2.1 image and it's being ported to 32B/Dream. And now we're left trying to port these ROMs to the 32A platform. It's kinda like driving from New York to Toronto via Mexico City.
I'm excited to try some of these tactics on the Hero 2.1 ROM. I'm sure it'll work very much the same.
Why so many threads?

This will probably kick start the Magic 32A development and the Rogers Dream.

Just tried Hero-ASOP 1.6 and its running. No wifi, camera, etc. but everthing else seems good.

Hi, I noticed on twitter yesterday that there is a new Magic ROM
http://www.htc.com/europe/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=267&act=sd&cat=all
The category is ROM upgrade, and the date is 2010-01-28
I had to use twitter to find it, as it didn't show under a normal search (probably as I have UK as my country).
Is it the long awaited Android upgrade?
Thanks
Dan.
Well.. not sure if long awaited..
But it is the official Android 1.5 Sense UI rom for the HTC Magic!
It basically turns your Magic into a Hero (multitouch browsing, usb-tethering, HTC Sense widgets, HTC keyboard, etc.)
For me, the long awaited will be the Android 2.1 Sense UI rom, which will hopefully hit the Magic by the end of March.
Installation Instructions:
ROM Version:3.05.401.3
Improved Functions
This ROM Upgrade for your HTC Magic will let you experience HTC SenseTM on your phone. HTC SenseTM lets you create a phone just right for you. You can customize your experience to be any way you like. Discover intuitive experiences that make everything you do on your phone effortless and delightful.

Mmm, I did see that one but didn't think it could be the same, as the thread was started on the 21st, and the date on the support page was 28th and the twitter details came in yesterday (and again this morning).
All very odd, I guess HTC's support page isn't quite 100% accurate.

I'm seriously considering to buy Magic as my second phone. I hope to get used to Android before I will switch fully. I have a few questions, though. I hope someone will find the time to answer.
- Is it Magic 32A that is needed for this update?
- Is 32A superior to 32B in terms of memory or other features?
- How can I easily tell the model (i.e. 32A or 32B) when holding the handset in my hands? (say, I'll be allowed to reboot or do any non-destructive actions
- Is it true that Magic will get an official Android 2.x update?
Thanks for your answers. I need to decide fast - the price is very good.
Cheers
- Is it Magic 32A that is needed for this update?
Yes
- Is 32A superior to 32B in terms of memory or other features?
It just has more ram afaik.
- How can I easily tell the model (i.e. 32A or 32B) when holding the handset in my hands? (say, I'll be allowed to reboot or do any non-destructive actions
Reboot whilst holding the 'back' key. On the fastboot screen you'll see PVT 32A or 32B.
- Is it true that Magic will get an official Android 2.x update?
Apparently!

st0kes, thanks for your answers (I know I'm a bit late to say thanks)..
since the guy who was "selling" that Magic ceased to communicate (after I told him that I want 32A and I will verify it before I buy the handset), I have a few more questions.
- I might get Magic from US, but I have no idea if 32A was ever sold in US. where can one buy 32A handset in US?
- by what names goes 32A in different countries?
- how much RAM exactly sports 32A?
- any idea where can one buy 32A in The Netherlands?
thanks in advance

Good morning,
I also managed to get it up and running but not without a few bad words
But it is working, looks very stable and fast and not so vanilla anymore
One thing though... I'm working with Google Apps and my phone flawlessly synched all my contact. When I go to the "People" tab I get "all" my contacts and there is no way to select/show the ones with phone numbers only.
With the original ROM I was able to select/show contacts with phone numbers only.
Do I overlook something here or should I wait for an update?
Thanks and have a nice day!
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.

.. 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.

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 .
