Okay since darkstone quit updating his builds ( i am sad about that) i would like to know a way to get all my data/contacts/apps to another build... a good desire build w/o sense a 2.2 froyo build i am looking at dans but i am not sure when that was last updated or if it has sense or how to get all my data there.
I have a t-mobile hd2 2.12 rom (going to update when i get my computer fixed)
I dont want to flash my rom and i have no sound problems for some reason..... so dont ask! (had that happen to me on another forum)
or just tell me if i can update the android from 2.2 to 2.3 (whenever that is) without needing a whole new build and everyhting.
thanks,

Hi,
Thank you guys (and girls of course) for pushing the android experience more than just-another-smart-phone for the curious users.
I have searched a lot by moving around in this forum for last couple of days, looking for a cool ROM for my first ever (but not last, only the beginning) ROM upgrade.
I have read the wiki and have explored all the given links. But I couldn't find few simple answers. Please help me by answering my following questions-
1. Is there any list of currently available ROMs with pros and cons of each ROM? Is there any benchmark for stability, performance,supported features for all the available ROMs ?
2. What's there any matured stable 2.x.x ROM for HTC magic 32A which is not-slow and does well what it is supposed to do?
3. What's the pros and cons for older versions and newer versions? In another way of asking- why you developers still working on the 1.5 and 1.6 ROMs? Why not 2.x.x for HTC magic?
4. (lame question) Which of the ROM versions does have flash 10 (so that flash videos or files will work on webpages)?
Please ignore my lack of knowledge and enlighten me and other newbies as well.
Thank you very much once again
1. No but you may have a look at this.
2. Manup456's Eclair is what I'd go for. It isn't slow nor buggy but keep in mind that there are things that still don't work properly and probably won't until HTC or some operator releases an official 2.1 update for the Magic. You'll also need a port to install it on a 32A.
3. 1.5 and 1.6 have been officially released for the Magic while 2.xx hasn't yet. That means everything works as it should on 1.5 and 1.6. On 2.1 you get the new Android features but you lose some functionalities as well so it all depends of what you need and don't need (if you can live without camera recording and hardware acceleration you'll be fine). People also stick to some 1.5 ROMs because of SenseUI (there are a few 2.xx ROMs with SenseUI but none of them is really ready for prime time).
4. Flash 10 isn't available to us yet. There is a version of Flash Player included in the HTC Browser (meaning you need a ROM which includes the HTC framework) but it's not that great as it doesn't support the newer Actionscript 3/FP 10 Flash files. It can play Youtube videos though.
My personal advice would be to avoid 2.xx ROMs for the moment and to try a good stable 1.5 SenseUI ROM like Cursorsense or GyD... and if you then feel that 1.5 is too old you can try Amon RA's Donut or Ahmgsk's.
Hope this helps... you could have posted this in the general forum though
I am a huge fan of the HTC Sense UI for the Hero and I would like to have it on the myTouch. I'm looking forward to buying one soon, but I don't want to risk rooting a brand new phone. So i was wondering if the Rogers upgrade for their HTC Magic+ can be used to add Sense UI to the new myTouch.
Yes, if you make it.
make what?

Not currently. The new MyTouch doesn't really have a wide selection of ROMS at the moment. (read none...)
Once you get root, you can install the stock Fender ROM with root access or a port of an eclair ROM (st0kes_eclair.) I personally haven't used the eclair ROM as I have heard it currently has some issues.
Best bet at this point is just to wait for HTC to release the kernel so more developers can start making us some custom ROMs.

thanks vantix. but im not really looking for a custom ROM. i just want to know if the HTC Magic+ update will work on for the myTouch 1.2. You can find that update here: htc.com/ca/support/magic-rogers/downloads/
I'm sorry but it won't. Your hardware is very close, but not exactly the same as the Magic (your touchscreen differs, and you ave the 3,5 mm jack). Don't flash this, as most probably it will break your phone.
aww sad day. thanks movikun
Oooh man you don't wanna flash that htc magic+ from rogers. Trust me hahaaha. The people on rogers (such as myself) were forced to flash that (thank god I didnt) and yeah it could possibly braek your phone as well.
You currently can't even flash a custom rom over to MyTouch LE because of the drivers issues. You won't have touchscreen, etc. This is being worked on... sorta.
Since the Fender/LE is Google then you will not see HTC SenseUI on it.
To get SenseUI on your MyTouch v1.2 you will have to do some work.
Get the source from HTC and use the LE Kernel (with drivers)
Port it to a SenseUI rom OR SenseUI source.
Probably won't be worth the trouble.
Has anyone tried to use the new Kernel from Rogers Rom , to make roms wich need to be ported work on NEw radio? Thanks
well from looking at it, no one else has been releasing anythign since 2.1 came out but klothius and i, so hmmmmm.......
Sorry i didnt explain myself. For instance, we have now a new HTC kernel. Can this be used to port Cyanogenmod rom ? I would like to see how it worked with the nwe HTC drivers
not sure it would go well, cause if you take a kernel from cyanogen and put in sense, not everythign will work, might not even start, so going the other way from sense to aosp i don't think but who knows, or you could try out new .34 kernel we released in froyorider today
I need your help guys and devs for one problem. I had to downgrade from wildhero (2.3.3 sense) to 2.1 cuz I needed more stable rom for a few days. I choosed one and flashed it, but the market didn't show most of the featured apps, like Skype, My Tracks, Google Sky Map, Xda devs, Tapatalk and many more. I used Search and it's the same - they're not in the results.I thought its location problem but it isn, cuz after a lot flashing different roms I haven't any problems till now. Tried 3 different 2.1 sense roms - its the same - same missing apps. Now when I flashed back this wildhero 2.3.3 sense rom (ver1.2.1) everything is fine , like it should be. I think its 2.3.3 Sense problem , somehow it restricts old android`s version market.. its wired... could you help me somehow ?? please its important to know !!
The Android market will not display any apps which are written specifically for newer OS versions on older ones:
http://developer.android.com/guide/publishing/versioning.html
Man , I know that, Im not so stupid...Imagine you downgrade from Froyo to Eclair and when U open the Market - most of the usual apps U can see in Eclair are misiing. Thats whats going on here.
I have since a few days android 2.2 on my HTC HD2. Since yesterday works my camecorder not right. When I want to make a video is evereything normal. BUT when I want to stop it, everything disappears. I can't do anything only going back to home with the home button. And when I go back to my camcorder there is only a black screen. I can't make videos or photo's than.
I've searching long and I think I must update my ROM..is that correct??? But I don't know where I can find it...
How can I fixe this?? please help..
thx
it is probably due to camcorder not working in most android roms (apart from much earlier ones).
Not much you can do about it, but check out the rom thread.
OKaay...but how I know which ROM I need?? And where can I find it??
In the HD2 forum under Android you can find much rom's. Take a look at the nand rom from Dorimanx or the Typhoon rom from tytween. There are also instructions how to install that rom.
you can find here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=928
All right thanks both . but... I have android 2.2, doesn't matter if I take the one of typhoon or Dorimanx?? because it says that's android version 2.3.3. and android version 2.3.5
No that doesn't matter. You can install any android nand rom that is made for the hd2 on your HTC HD2.
But when you install another rom, make a back-up from your data. Because you're gonna lose it if you switch to a different rom.
I have the rom from Dorimanx on my phone and that works great.
But you can decide for yourself which rom you want.
Many thanks m8 !!
