How do I do it? I downloaded the software but I am having issues trying to get it on the mytouch
You're gonna have to wait as it seems the APL for the new mytouch3g is "perfect" and can't be rooted yet.
Not only that but if you have the 32B board, like the google ion, it's going to be very very slow.

So is the mytouch different then the european magic?? i know the rogers magic has more ram but i thought the mytouch and european magic were the same?
Im asking this because i have seen the hero rom running fine on the magic (not rogers)
here is a vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TKOF-zBU2I
but maybe that is a rogers magic, not too sure. But even so i have seen it running on the dream so?
Once you get the swapped and everything setup correctly with a good class 6 card hero runs fine on the ion. As a matter of fact I have it running much better then any build I have tried for the g1 the only slowness I have is coming back to the home screen from using the browser and even then it is only at most 30 seconds.
But as of right now the mytouch is not rootable yet. Currently there is no way to get arround the security of the spl. Fastboot and adb don't work. Do us a favor go into your bootloader and post all the information that come up there for us just as a record for consistancy checking. Plus I know my ion came with a different version just as a comparison. So far I haven't seen the bootloader of the mytouch with certainty yet. If it says "S-off G" there may be hope. The only way I can figure of doing it id trying to get an nbh file for it like the G1 and building in a modified spl. I have tried to decipher the one for G1 with no luck yet. Can't even really pick it apart. Really locked down it seems with some form on encryption.
BTW this was typed on the ion running hero by fatal1ty v 1.4
yeah i figured that also as people who use the G1 who is running hero runs it perfect now no lag nothing so im sure the same method applied to the G1 can be applied to the mytouch 3g
Class 6
I am going to have to stand corrected regarding slowness. I've been watching the videos of hero on normal speed. Then I realize something. Something that should have hit me in the face considering I am in the IT business. Swap Space. That dang thing is stored on the SD card and I am running on a 16GB SDHC Class 2. Then I retried the same with 8GB SDHC Class 4. There is a huge difference. I am going to get a class 6 8GB tomorrow. Things should run fine with a decent class 6 card.
What I did not realize initially was that he (the rom maker) put the swap on the SD card which is a damn good idea. Something I'd have done but... I guess I was not thinking.

do the swap space have to be on the microsd what about the phone internal memory... also how do you know the class of your micosd i got a 16gb i hope i don't have to replace it..and what about using ext4 for partitions would that boost up speed?

It should say the class speed on the microsd itself. If it doesn't say then its most likely a Class 2.

I have the google ion and it is slow even with the swap file on my class 6 microsd. It still is usable but not as smooth as it would be on the 32A version of the magic. I just reflashed to the nk02's ION v4 and its very fast. You should try that. nk02's ion rom doesn't have the hero added stuff.
thanks just seen the 2 on it lol i feel dumb guess i got to get another one...
I went to class 4 and there was an improvement. On class 6, improvement was not that noticeable.
????? i'm lost
With the T-Mobile branded version of the Magic only having 192 MB of Ram compared to the HTC version having 288 MB, how smooth does the Hero Roms run on it? anyone with Rooted MT3G's please give us your two cents? Please tell me it DOES NOT run like it does on the T-Mobile G1.
still investigating. I am a noob to Android (been on WM so far) and i have tried a couple of them - and they load fine and they seem responsive, and the display is crisp and then once the screen times out, when I return - the display is very blurry or pixelated - I think its because i am not setting the compcache or linux-swap correctly. Have been reading up as much as I can and am still trying it out. but even though it is blurry, it is responsive (i am using JACxHero 1.2) and it looks great. Hero does have a lot of functions I want, but if I can't get this swap\cache\display issue sorted, I may go back to cyanogen (who IMHO has the best Ion\Magic ROMs)
Hope that helps. will post update, if I get it working
Did you figure out the pixelation problem? I'm getting that also.

i really thought i was the only one with this problem since nobody's brought it up. so far the only ones i haven't had a problem with were fatal1ty's and evil's.
you can use rav1.2.0 recovery to format your sd into 3 partitions

I'll try those as well then, and see what happens. It's funny, I couldn't find any posting about the display problem, but we can generate hundreds of pages of a thread if it involves a tiny speed increase
at the moment, I've been using fatal1ty's rom because tether isn't giving me problems.
evil's rom is set up great, aside from the tether problem.
otherwise, it's the rom I would go with.
set up fat32/ext2/linux-swap
Running Evil's right now on mt3g. The display works for me when I activate it after a timeout. I'd love to know what the difference is that does that. I'm using the same SD card, same partition layout.

does your wifi tether ever start up on that evil rom? that was the only problem i was running into. it was the qtek rom i was having display problems with
rooted mt3g ran qtek w/ compcache perfect. running noname v3 amazingly. was slow but used overclock widget and runs great now. only problem is i wish they didnt default apps to sd. the tmo phone has 288 megs or app storage so theres no need for apps to sd. i think it would run much better w/o it. but yes hero runs great on hero roms. only problem... not much of a problem i love my txt notification led to be blue, cyanogen lets u change color built in and sms popup lets u change as well but sms popup doesnt work on hero so im stuck with green. battery still sucks

Not a fan of Sense, but it is at least bearable on HDPI devices. I used the official HTC RUU from the UK as a base, and now have a bootable, somewhat working Froyo ROM for the CDMA Desire.
It is by no means a daily ROM. I'm uploading here so we can get some testers and help from other developers. Since I'm usually occupied writing code for a living, any help is welcomed and appreciated.
What's working?
Audio, incoming/outgoing calls, SMS, data (works, but flaky), camera, GPS (needs more testing to really be given a thumbs up), backlight, vibration, live wallpapers
What's not working?
Wifi, BT, orientation, lights, MMS, and I'm sure much more.
What's included that isn't stock?
Busybox, DarkTremor apps2sd, root shell, deodexed
Currently, it's booting off of the stock 2.6.29 kernel and modules. I was able to get the 2.6.35 Cyanogen kernel to boot, but did not get all drivers/modules loading properly. I will be looking into that soon as well as possibly using the Incredible ROM as a base.
What can I do to help?
Download, test, tweak, get in touch with me. Twitter or PM on here will work. Pay attention to this thread, I will keep it updated. I look forward to your feedback.

good luck with everything i will give this a try once it becomes a little more stable. nice to see some cdma roms out here
I was correct in assuming we'd have success with the Droid Incredible build. Testing now and will tweak more tomorrow, stay tuned for updates.
Wonderful news!! I have been using the CM6 nightly on my Cell South with only a MMS bug but I will def rock out DPhase's ROM once it gets a little more stable. I am so excited to see a developer from Cell South! Can't wait to buy you a beer. I use my phone for work but I will flash this weekend to check it out and test for sure. I have a source that is putting the release of a OTA 2.2 on cell south to no earlier than the first quarter of '11 at best.

Have you had any issues with data on CM6?
I have been using CM6 as well on my cell south desire, I have not experienced any data issues. But it has only been a couple days since flash.
It seems a little slow but I think that is more Cell South than anything. I jump on wifi any chance I get. Still no MMS no matter what size file I try to send.
I would love to help with this... thank you for looking into it. Since it is not a "daily" rom, I really cannot run it too long until WiFi is fixed.
By lights is that the Message LED only correct? Or is it the Camera LED too?
Thanks again for starting this project! I would hope that you get the cyanogen kernel working, because I want the overclock
what can i do to help with this? i have a lot of time at work. but am far from a developer. CM6.1 is well on its way. id like to test for more devs. let me know what i can do. im flashing your rom now. then im going to try your MIUI

Camera LED is working.
Ok great... I'll load this up sometime tomorrow. I am doing a battery test on my phone today to see how CM6 compares to the 2.1 stock sense rom.
I'm in
I'm onboard i've been running your 2.2 w/o sice all day it works great. There have been a few things and i am sure i will find more in the next few days. But so far so good i will write in that thread what i find.But i am also gonna give this a shot tonight so i will hit you back with what happens.
hell yeah
After just 20 minutes of using this it is the [email protected]#$ other than the things you mentioned it is running great keep it up.
i just installed this and have been playing with it for an hour,and OMFG it is so sweet,thank you so much for working on this ROM. i will post any bugs i come across and hope it help to build better sense UI froyo ROMS for the CDMA desire!
thank you again! loving this so much right now i feel like a kid on Christmas!
i have formatted and partitioned my sd card ,the first one is 6 gigs fat32 and the 2nd is 2 gigs ext2. i cant get the SD card to show up on the phone,says its unmounted??? is this a known bug or something new. or am i doing something wrong? i will try taking the partition out and leaving it as 8 gigs fat32, however i thought that for APPS2SD needed a ext2 partition?
EDIT.... i deleted the ext partition and left the sd card as a full 8 gigs (7.65 gigs) fat32 and now this rom will see the sd card,however it will not move apps to the sd card.....
I don't think you are supposed to have an EXT partition more than about 1GB. That might be part of your problem.

apps2sd will not work with fat32 partitions. You must have an ext partition, recreate but don't go over a gig.
Sorry Dphase I didn't get a chance to load it up today... I had alot on my plate today. I will give it a shot tomorrow night and probably through the weekend. How is the battery life on this compared to 2.1? I am getting double the battery life on 2.2 cyanogen for the BravoC than I did with the stock rom, so I am having trouble getting myself to switch at this point.

thank you, i will try to recreate a smaller partition now and try again.
EDIT.. I cleaned up the sd card and started from scratch, set my fat32,then created a 512mb in ext2,(1st partition is fat32,2nd is ext2) same problem. when i start the phone it says on the top of the screen "safe to remove SD card" message goes away,then i go to settings/SD card it says the card is unavailable.
but if i format the whole card as fat32 it will show up and work for everything BUT apps2sd. i know that i wont be able to move apps till i get a ext partition on the card, i just cant get the phone to see the sd card after i set it up.
hi! so i was wondering what your settings for your MT3G are.
i have the original MT3G 32B and i was wondering what radio and spl version youre running, and how your micro sd is set up. mine goes really slow and i just wanted to compare with others on it.

Hello Gang!
Great site and a wealth of info, but as the title reads I am new to the entire process. I am expecting my new Studio 5.5 610a tomorrow and I the main thing I want to do is to be able to access more ram or have the option or the ability to force install apps on a Micro SD chip along with saving data as well. My question I guess is, Will gaining root accomplish this alone or do I need to flash a ROM? I was looking At the Cyanogen Rom. Anyone care to give their opinions or anything. All info will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time guys.

i don't know if the Blu Studio 5.5 even has any custom roms, if your rooted you will be able to force apps to install on SDcard (Although some might not work such as widgets) as for ram increase i think the only way would be a partition swap which has to do with swapping Micro SDcard Storage for more RAM which doesn't even give you much more RAM and the life of the SDcard decreases faster (it should be only needed on Devices with incredibly low like the HTC T-mobile G1 with 192mb or the OG droid with 256mb)
