if i knew how to i would make a rom i would make a rom like this
youtube.com/watch?v=7SImOIMcMlk
But i cant so i have to make this challenge to get a rom like that/
I have a mytouch 32b and im putting out a challenge to see if anyone can make a fully working rom like this one in this video asap to be crown the best developer in the world.
this means the bluetooth, wifi, cam, video, touch screen, and volume, calling, text, and everything else for the 32b need to be working for you to be known as the best developer in the world.
also im putting out another challenge. I look and looked and i cant fnd any rom thats not based off of any other phone besides from tat which is impossible to get their roms. besides tat rom all the roms out there is based off of the mytouch slide, hero, or nexus. I want a rom that fully works and is not based off of any phone out their and mind blowing cool. i want it to be available to the mytouch 32b.
for the both of these challenges if it dosent work with mytouch 32b then u cant be mark as the best developer in the world. but im not making a rule saying u cant make a version for 32a and one for 32b.

are you some type of idiot?
no offense not trying to be rude but this is primarily for 32a sapphire development and really your request is not even possible with the hardware on the phones we have - do you think 3d effects can be possible with the same crappy screen?
obv not - do some homework and stop making requests that are ridiculous

it is possible. if you look at the nexus roms 3d gallery and the video you notice they both act the same. all u have to do is some how convert the code for the 3d gallery to the main home screen and trick it into thinking the icons for the apps is pics. then rewrite the code so when u selected an icon it will do what u want it to
anyways about the hardware being crappy thats kinda a major point to this challenge. anyone can make a great rom on the best hardware with a little bit of time but only the best can make a great rom for crappy hardware.

lol nice. but ya its a challenge and sadly i dont have the money. the main reason why i made this challenge is it seems like everyone who makes roms only makes them so their phone is like a newer one that just came out. kinda like a keep up with the Joneses thing. i want it where we have roms that is so good that the new phones that are coming out will try to keep up with us and question why a few people that makes roms on their spear time is better then people who are paid to make it for new phones.
anyways if u are worry about money the person with the best rom will be known for the rom and just like Cyanogen he has people donate to him and if he wanted to he most likely could get ads on his site. like if this challenge go well then most likely there will be another one down the road and maybe that other one down the road will have money but in order for there to be another one this one has to go well

and this is how i want my phone to look
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4232207&postcount=819
But i dont wanna mess up my phone so if someone could help me do this it would be greatly appriciated. if i had the money i would pay someone to help me but I just cannot afford it right htis moment but maybe in a few days i could pay pal some one some money for helping me
I basicly wanna root my phone and just be happy with android that looks great and i would love my phone to look like that....im already bored with android dxtop ahome and open home just dont cut it
You need to root in order to have the hero rom.
Sorry, but the current MyTouch3G cannot be rooted due to the "perfect SPL". You have to wait until someone figures out how to root the MyTouch3G before you can use any rom.
I wouldnt bother with the Hero Roms for the Magic/Sapphire/Ion/My touch
Fact is what you get in looks you lose in utillisation... all thats going to do is turn you off the device.
For a complete noob i would suggest

Well he can't go that way either , can't root the MyTouch. If you have the correct Magic (Rogers) has the same specs as the Hero minus the camera and headphone jack, you will get the same speed and performance as the Hero.
For the OP. For now you'll have to theme your phone for that look. Search the market for Openhome and use the Hero theme.

I have a HTC magic (with 288 RAM) and JACHeroski and the performance is acceptable. At work we have a Hero and my Magic performs as well as that one.

I think it's worth a bit more than that.
I'd like working bluetooth so that I can try a Hero rom but if it were possible it would have happened already. Same as if video without drivers were possible. People dont seem to understand that the devs here dont create the OS for our phones they edit open source code that google has released. If google doesnt release the code that is needed for something then the devs here have nothing to work with. Think of it has you bought a piece of hardward to use with you PC but when you plug it in you PC doesnt reconize it. That is because you dont have the correct driver for it and untill you can obtain that driver it will never work.

Ncommander might be able to, he seems to be a decent coder.
Haykuro *definitely* won't. He isn't a coder, he's just a hack -- responsible for more bricks than anyone else and at the same time, responsible for fracturing the community romcookers into the "stockSPL" and "deathSPL" groups -- which is a VERY VERY VERY bad thing.

I know Haykuro is responsible for bricks its a fact that the deathSPL can cause a brick but when used correctly it is a very useful tool that allows ROM makers to create larger and better ROMs. I think most devs that create ROMs that do not require the death spl only do so because the majority of people dont want to flash the death spl there for more people will use there rom if it does not require it.
i suggest a new section on the forums be opened for paying developers to do specific tasks and services... it can be named "developers in demand"

Post YouTube Video or it isn't true
Alright so it's been a couple of weeks and anyone can see that the Nexus is casting a shadow over the new MyTouch so it's probably not going to get much attention from Cyanogen. We can still use his roms however we lose touchscreen support. Actually, we can use pretty much any rom as the old MT3G and G1 can use but we can't use the touchscreen.
What I've tried was pulling the /system/usr directory, flashing a CM rom and pushing the directory back but it still didn't make any difference.
I've tried flashing the Cyanogen ROM then flash the boot.img from the Fender ROM but I forgot that the current SPL (1.33.0013) is locked. Another obstacle. So I replaced the boot.img in the CM rom with the Fender and of course it didn't work. I'm out of ideas... but I'm far from being a dev. But there are a lot of you smart guys out there. Has anyone broken any ground on these devices? Now that the original MyTouch is obsolete it's only a matter of time that the popularity of this device will grow since the MyTouch (original) is more popular that the G1 to date.
In conclusion I see two options from here:
We cook a custom MT3G 1.2 ROM from source (whereever that could be found).
We work together to discover a workaround for this touchscreen issue to allow us to use CM ROMs (perferred).
So far the only ROM for the new MT3G 1.2/Fender is an odexed stock rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623141 (thanks CursorDroid) and the only method of rooting is by goldcard methoddiscovered by Crypysmoker.
If there are any others can you please post them.
I would really like to see the development for this device take off and I'm sure that it will eventually. Themes, kernal mods, custom roms, tethering, overclocking, a2sd, etc and I'm sure that I'm not alone.
Thanks.
I would love to see this phone get some attention. I call it my poor mans nexus
Has anyone tried adb pulling the touchscreen kernel module from stock and inserting it into a modded ROM to see if it even loads?
/system/lib/modules only has wlan.ko
It looks like the driver might be tied to the kernel so a new kernel is needed

Unfortunately, the more ROMs the more confusion.
Now that we have two different MyTouch verions (not including the 32a/32b for the original) this is going to get VERY confusing. It already is. Even if you use "1.2" people are going to wonder if that's the ROM version or the phone version. Maybe MT3G2 or something.

And thus we need a dev. LOL. Unless someone can tell us what controls the touchscreen input. That might give us a step in the right direction.
I'm still hoping for Cyanogen ROMs on the Mytouch 1.2.
Lol since im the one who even discovered the pain staking rooting process ... omg such a pain... I felt the need to comment.
I just today started using my fender over my G1 because Criffmon (however the hell you spell it) came out with the themed stock rom. It looks perfect.
But the reason for no rom yet is the kernel tied into the new touchscreen drivers and 3.5mm jack. There is a whole new touchscreen which is why it doesnt work when u load other roms.

Yeah that's the rom that I used too... maybe i got my links confused.
That rom is odexed. I managed to de-odex the apps but I can't figure out the framework. I would like to add things like the modified browsers, dialer, contacts, mms app, etc. But I am unsure if it can be done because of the odex.

wow that looks sweet!!!...
So according to tmonews the MyTouch 1.2 is sold out and anyone interested will have to wait until this Spring to pick theirs up.
Then I noticed an interesting tweet from Haykuro:
"just realized something. The Nexus One and the N900 are amazing phones and a whole bunch of people have it but you NEVER see anyone with it."
So let's get this straight... the newest MyTouch is sold out and all of the devs (like Cyanogen) are rushing to develop firmware for a device that isn't anywhere near as popular. Meanwhile... what has been accomplished with the new MyTouch?
What's wrong with this picture???
Has anyone made any progress at all lately?
there's loads of things wrong with that. but sadly when your a gifted developer you have the right to develop for whatever device you want, even if loads of people won't be using it.

I understand all that but my point is out of the hundred of thousands of devices sold there isn't ONE person out there that tried to develop a rom for it and share it? There are over two dozen people (at LEAST) in this forum that has the phone and not one of them possess the skills to at least figure out how to use a CM rom on the device? Really? Why is that so hard for me to believe?
I'm not saying that I can do better because I know that I can't... but I also don't have any coding experience either. It would appear that all the T-Mobile customers with coding experiences decided NOT to buy this device for some reason. Or they decided to buy it... but not try to improve on it in any way.
You know that if Haykuro or Cyanogen had the phone we'd be on the twelfth rom version by now. C'mon devs! I'm still using my G1 if I want to show off the power of Android. I want to retire this device already.

No no.. You have it a bit wrong. Wes and Ctso were/have been working on it trying to get the kernel into Open eclair.
The main problem is those 3 drivers we need for the touch screen and 3.5 jack seem to be a super pain in the ass to extract from the current kernel to push into another or build a new one all together. Basically, the drivers can be seen, but not used.
ALL 32a roms will boot on the fender/mytouch 1.2, I have tried literally 10 pages of them.... Bu the moment it looks for a touch screen, all it sees is the track ball and defaults to it. YOu can fully run other roms, but you cant touch. They are trying lol, But were basicly gona have to deal with criffmon's themes for now since 2.1 will be on us in the next few weeks. Supposedly, we are getting the full 2.1 since these are 32a boards.
People are trying, But think of this as a first, NEW release in a long while.
I mean hell, it took me 3 days just to figure out how to root it, when the nexus 1 took maybe a few hours with ways already known.
It will come, be patient. The moment I get a working kernel I will let everyone know.
Hey Crypysmoker!!! Thanks for all the hard work on this!
It's good to know there are people working on this device.
Ok so im new to the touch pro2 i literally just traded my hero for it so i was wondering what is the best rom for it what i mean by best is looks speed etc. Please post all opinions i also wanted to say whats up to everyone!!!
you're from cee-town, so i can't leave you twisting in the wind. the best rom is the one that YOU like best. there are different roms for different things, just flash away until you find the one you like . go cavs and tribe!
thats whats up now i get to have a bunch of fun reading all these posts tryin to figure out what i need to flash this phone lol good lookin tho...
my personal fav is the chein home screen (not sure if that classifies as a ROM tho). i like it better than the HTC sense for 2 reasons. first off, whenever i turn on my phone it takes no less than 10 minutes for the HTC Sense to load up and tht gets annoying when u gotta call or text someone ASAP (or update ur facebook status). the chien home screen is always there to say hi right after the windows splash screen disappears. the second reason is im a photographer/designer so i get to set a pic as my today screen and i can enjoy it w/o anything obstructing its veiw.. but thats more of a personal thing.
as mr8820 said its all about ur own personal taste. browse around and find watcha like
Hope i helped
many cdma roms are listed on ppcgeeks.com
man this phone is soooo slow lol and i honestly DONT know where to even start or how to start i knew android in and out haha can some one please point me to a fast rom that looks as good as it runs and what i need to install please i been searching but im gettin confused
As already stated, everybody has different tasted in ROMs, so there is no way to tell you what the the best available for you without first trying them. PPCGeeks does have a larger CDMA following than XDA-Developers currently has.
I am in the process of preparing an updated CDMA ROM now, and it will be released exclusively here on XDA. My older CDMA ROMs can be found on PPCGeeks now (link in my signature). My ROMs lean towards performance over appearance and flashiness.
Just a few questions guys. Sorry if it has been discussed before. But, I'm coming from an HD2 and am thinking about getting an AT&T Inspire. Since the Inspire is a native Android device, it probably doesn't suffer the same bugs that the HD2 did when it has Android on it does it? In particular when you ran a Sense 3 rom on it, you would have trouble with graphic glitches. I'm guessing you don't have that problem with this phone? Is there some other known bugs that you face when you run a custom rom on the Inspire? I loved my HD2 so much that I had to get a comparable newer model of phone. I just felt it was time to get an actual Android native phone because of the various issues that I ran into. Also, if I root the Inspire will I be able to get rid of the AT&T bloatware if I choose to stick with the stock rom? I was running my HD2 on AT&T so I could only get EDGE with it and I got tired of the slow internet when I was not in a wifi area. Thanks for your answers!

If you're partial to CM7 based roms, not sure if this is a problem across the board for all devices, but at least on the Inspire CM7 roms don't like to read your SIM card, so back up your contacts to gmail and sync if you want to use a CM7 ROM.
I've used ARHD, Bindroid and Absolution. I have tried just about every rom there is on the Inspire but these 3 seem to be the most stable, a lot of support and just an overall great time. This isn't to say the other roms out there are terrible, I just fancy these and as anyone will tell you, different strokes for different folks. Your best bet, if you do get the Inspire, try all the roms out and see what best fits you, what minor bugs you can deal with and ones you can't. You'll find out very quickly what you're willing to live with and what you're willing to do without! Each ROM is not totally bugless, each have their share of little bugs and honestly the devs do a great job at fixing them and keeping their respective ROMs up to date (or at least the ones I have mentioned, again this isn't to say the other roms don't..I just use these consistently and can only attest to what they do). There use to be an audio issue but many roms have since fixed that. If you do get an inspire, the Desire HD is the same model phone pretty much and thus many of those roms can be flashed onto our device, if you take that route for whatever reason, you'll need to find the audio fix.
Thanks for the information. I think I will stick to the Inspire roms instead of the DHD ones. I'm a bit more partial to the Sense roms than the vanilla ones. I really like Sense. Yeah, I found that out with the HD2 running android. You had to try several roms out to see which one had the fewest most tolerable bugs. As far as roms not wanting to read the sim card, I always have a backup of my contacts on gmail. I thought it was convenient when I flashed a rom and signed in with my google account it would sync them all back to the phone.

No problem! I'm partial to sense roms as well but every now and then my CM7 inner child wants to have some fun. I typically keep to Bindroid (releases aren't as frequent and the following is small but man do they put out a really really stable rom). ARHD is another sense favorite of mine, also very stable, great development and a lot of mods/themes/add-ons. I use Absolution for my CM7 fix...again, great development,friendly group over there too!
Cool, I will be sure and check those out.
I also noticed with this phone you don't need to partition your nand everytime you switch out a rom. As a matter of fact you don't do that at all. That is a plus!!

Simple answer is no. There is no rom that is like that. A search of the available roms would have told you this.
