Hi, I rooted my mytouch 3g and installed a hero rom. However, it seems the hardware isn't up to par with the hero software and it seems a bit laggy. Anyway, I read somewhere that Jesusfreke roms are considered the most "stable." If I can install it, which ones can I use?
Also, if you think theres a better "stable" cupcake rom, please tell me! Thanks!!
I haven't seen Jesusfreke rom that are compatible with the myTouch but cyanogen is good too, check out his rom and check out the themes in the dream section.
Want something as fast and stable as the JF.
Flash this ROM and PM me feedback.
It's not release yet, but 2-3 days it will be.
This is the same type of ROM as found in my thread at ...

I'm sure you'll be happy with this.

(Was a time limit on that link , so if you got it... you did, PM me with feedback)

Hey a.kim,
This ROM is aimed at using the Official T-Mobile binary release of the framework and apps, but with all the features a root user would typically want. (Pretty much like a JF build, but with some more built-in features)
For more info you could visit my thread in the Dream section ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538456
Essentially I have a new version v1.6.x that is on the brink of release that can run on the dream and sapphire (32B) hardware.
I've been giving out the pre-release version to those you desire.
If you are interested, you can PM me and I'll send you the link. Otherwise the official release will be in a day or two now.

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 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)

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:
http://www.htc.com/www/support/magic.html
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.
Here is the official ATT update link and instructions for the Captivate Android 2.2 OS. I searched and did not come across any threads with the actual driect link, only references, so here it is!
Enjoy!

There's a thread on how to dump your current phone in the dev forums - it's 2-3 pages down, was a hot item 3 weeks ago when Rogers released the Infuse.
but honestly - there are existing dumps of both Froyo variants (look at the Ultimate Unbrick) threads and of the Rogers Gingerbread release
