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.

hi guys im still a n00b with android so this may be a seriously dumb q, with a rooted magic/sapphire/ion do you think we will ever get to see a hero rom on our handsets, official or otherwise, will the os interface be upgraded to this in the future or do you think it will stay at the interface we have now with addon bits like cupcake and donut. I personally would love to see the hero rom interface here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRX5N5bte68, will it ever happen?
Regarding the fact that haykuro desided to leave,have big doubts.
We surely will have a Rosie Gui for our Magic...
we just have to wait
HTC has announced that Hero will include multitouch support. Since much of their Sense UI is hacked onto Android, this makes me wonder:
Are they exposing an actual multitouch API for Android developers, or are they overloading an unused property (e.g. MotionEvent.size) like Luke Hatch's homebrew multitouch does?
idk
but whatever htc did ..it looks awsome..the ui on hero when its full speed is soo stunning and the mutlitouch is so smooth
Is "full speed" acheivable on a Magic?
Do you guys think its possible to port the rom over to magic? and get the upgraded UI?
Thanks
there is a port
from nk02 but its a little buggy and alot of the features are missing but htc said theyre gonna make the updates available to htc devices running android..so if you plan on getting that samsung youre sol if you want rosie..that is until the brilliant minds here port it

Since they are exactly the same thing save for the shape of the case, yes.

Some magics (vodafone branded ones) have less RAM than the hero.
HTC's CEO stated that they're going to slap the sense UI on an existing HTC, which will probably be the sapphire
actually if you flash the nk02 hero rom
it has multitouch
HTC has announced that the sense UI WON'T be avaliable to t-mobile and vodafone users since the whole google issue they have, they didnt say anything about the "other" htc branded phones like rogers but m assuming updates will be avaliable to those.

Once the Hero is out, we'll have it on our device.. no needs to wait for "official" HTC releases for the Google's branded phones, this is XDA-developers!
I cant help but feel that I have been somewhat cheated by Vodafone for the less ram issue, they pulled a fast one on us. If this is what stands between me and the new Sense UI, then i can tell you that we have not only been robbed by Vodafone but by HTC as well. With the money I spent on this phone, the new Ui is the least they can do.

Thats what i like to hear. I cant wait until this day comes to try it out.
Not a single one of these replies has been relevant or on-topic.
nobody knows
what they did
I'm sure this is in the wrong place, but it does have a lot to do with the Hero ROM porting that's goign on here. HTC Brazil's website is showing off the Magic with Sense. Anyone come across this built yet? I'm sure it will work a lot better than Hero ROM ports since it's official from HTC! http://htcsource.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=732&Itemid=51
Great news!!! Thanks for that Nick.... really looking forward to the official release
Damn i was hoping the brazillian magic phone had our low ram. Would this really change anything?
salivating... hope it can be made into a suitable rom for 32a soon

We are just waiting for a Brazilian person to extract it and we can have it too (I think so).. I was reading it and there's good and bad news!!!
Good:
Is really the 1st HTC Sense Ui officially on a Magic!
Bad:
All stores from the Brazilian market listed on the HTC website from the link there, hasn't the equipment available and only the TIM network are promoting the Android phone and asking for filling a form for a pre-release/information (I didn't feel it) about an Android phone (I think it can be the Magic).
soooo.. any brazilians got it !! if not HURRY THE F UP!

I doubt it~! I didn't see for sale it yet on any of the authorized HCT Brazilian shop!! We will have to wait, maybe the release date is the same that our so WANTED update will be released!
that sucks.. so does anyone have a magic with a hero rom that is fast.. and you are satisified with it?
I will not be satisfied till our ui is up to speed with the ones in iphone..
I can get nooo..
satisfaction...

I'm not sure any Andrid UI will ever be as fast as the iPhone. The iPhone UI is only an icon list and that's pretty much it. We'll need a Snapgragon powered Android phone from HTC to acheive a no-lag Sense experience.
i am excited about this. having a native sense ui made specifically for the magic is good news and hopefully will improve performance since we dont have to port from the hero to the g1 to the magic. once it's released we just need one of the devs to root it for us haha then we can install like a normal rom, i think, right? i dont want to lose root to install this.

HTC will release the Magic in Brazil only in the 2nd half of October. And IIRC TIM Brasil will launch BOTH the Magic and the Samsung Galaxy.

Obrigado Cesar
Since HTC controls this.. it sounds like it will be as well the time as well that we will have our so DESIRED HTC Sense UI updates! But, anyway we'll see..
Hope that I'm wrong in the good way (that they release first the update, since is already made)! One month to go..
midway october is still 3 weeks away , hope someone get a piece before hand and can make a dump and put it up for people to breakdown.
can't wait ! Singapore's one is releasing on Nov, one month later of wait

nativ or not. the problem is the same...
the htc magic in brasil is using 288 mb of ram.
its good for the 32a users but 32b has the same problem as now
even tho it has 288 mb ram , it will still be a better port of Sense as compared to the current one which is of a whole different model , so this would have lesser bugs and im sure with some swap in place it would be pretty snappy for those who have the 32B as well
The main benefit I see from this is that the LED and Bluetooth issues should finally be resolved.

probably part of LED fix is most likely a fully functioning trackball blink/notification
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:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=98
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
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=86489
Thanks people. This was what i needed. The Energy ROM post had the instructions i was looking for.
Thats has android version 1.6 or higher
Simple Answer: There isn't a specific one, it really depends on what you're looking for.
Long Answer: There are a number of Sense ROMs for 32A systems and two that I'm aware of on the 32B. I only have a 32B and so I can't comment on 32A. Of the two available on the 32B, neither is stable enough IMO for every-day use, but they're getting there. Your best bet is going to be to look around and research all of the available ROMs for your phone, paying particular attention to what isn't working and matching that up with how you use your phone.
There is no Android 1.6 Sense UI ROM for mytouch.
All Sense UI ROMs so far are Android 1.5.
The best ones are MLIGN 3.2B or 3.3 or KingKlick SenseHero Hybrid 2.3
what you didnt specify was which mytouch. new or older version, difference being to you, a headphone jack on top. If there is one, then no, there are no hero/sense type roms fo rus yet and wont be for at least.. acording to assholes at HTC, about 60 days for them to release the drivers we need.
If you have an older mytouch, find out if its 32a/32b depending on your country. Then its a matter of your radio and SPL which I suggest you do ALOT OF READING up on or you will have a shiny paperweight
