upgrade a Kernel HTC Magic version to a HERO Rom?? Is it possible??? Plz Help!!

INFO:
Model number: HTC Magic
Firmware version: 1.5
Baseband version: 62.52S.20.18U_3.22.20.17
Kernel version: 2.6.27-dd63d1eb u70000
Build number: 2.16.401.5 146733 CL#33743 release-keys
Now my deal is...I see everyone talks about upgrading Rogers versions...but Kernel versions like mine, I couldn´t find any info..., so I would like your help on this...Please!!!

ROFL!
The kernel is a part of the OS, not a carrier!
If you want to use CursorSense (enhanced rogers update) just visit that thread and you'll find all the info you need.

First off you need a few things. A good recovery, possibly a new SPL and the ROM you want to try. Do some reading on any of the posts in the forum that have hero in the title, cursorsense is an option also. find one you are interested in, and then check the requirements. Some require more work than others (cursorsense) but if you really like Sense it could be worth it. I personally hate it but there are lots of options and all offer a little something different.

thanks 99bluoval, Iam new at this...the other day at youtube, I saw someone with a magic and as a rom he had a hero fatality...that's when I found out that it was possible to change. So I decided to have a look here...all is confusing right now...I have read threads about crashing the phone,... but I will try.
Again thanks for the advice...people like you is what we need in here!!!!

Two questions.

I installed swiftkey keyboard, and cant get it to work. How can I get it working?
Also, if I download titanium backup, can I remove some of the blot apps, like
Some of the google apps I'm not using, or say the grocery list app??
Thanks

Also I notice the new maps does not have the 3D feature, why is that?

anyone know/>?

Are you running stock tnt or a custom ROM?

You took the time to tell him to search, but it would've been decent to just give him a link.
I'm using the same Tom, I've searched, and haven't found the answer either

Hopefully someone can answer......

Already gave him links in another thread. As he kept asking questions I though that learning to search for his answers may be of benefit since each question in this thread has been answered many times.

I did see something about the keyboard, but not about the maps or deleting
apps that are considered blot, or that you don't use.

For use a non-stock keyboard on TNT/TNT lite, you have to do more than just installing the APK.
Search in the themes area for 'keyboard' or 'alternate keyboard', and you'll find several threads about doing that. You're going to need root for this (since you asked before ).
I'm not sure about removing apps.

I found the threads, but I do not understand what I need to use to move the keyboard apps or even how to....

This is actually a post of Jim's in another thread. These are the instructions I followed and it worked great for me. (I need to thank-button him for that.)
I like Swiftkey for my phone, but for the tablet, I'm really liking Thumb Keyboard, so maybe check that out.
Two things...first, a real effort with search would have turned up your answer for you...second, "Two questions" is not a very good title for your thread--not descriptive at all. A lousy title is really going to cut down on the number of people who are going to read a post...that's why you will go a long time before getting a decent response.
I don't know about the extra apps. I wouldn't go ripping stuff out without a firm understanding about how different apps--especially system apps--relate to the running of the OS. I can't guide you on that except to say that there's plenty of room on the gTab. That little extra space isn't worth the risk of borking your tablet, in my opinion.

[Q] How to get my phone on old rom and kernel?

Guys pls help me i need to give my phone to warranty, so i need to get it on old kernel and rom. Im searching and reading stuff last few days and im lost... cant find old kernel and rom to flash it. Is there and clean 1.5 rom and 2.6.27 kernel(links,info, anything ill read it)? Is there anything else i need to do before i give phone back?
Ty for any help

I think that you should give the detail information about your phone, such as the location (purchase or your network provider,..).
The original ROM always go with the kernel.

[Q] HD7 mango how to!

hi,
there are multiple threads related to HD7 getting upgrade to mango beta.
I tried some of them but nothing seems to work out for me as this is all new to me i am little afraid too that i might brick my phone.
So please if anyone can help without yelling try search button then it will be lot helpful coz i already tried my best to find answers from search but there are millions of lines to be read to be able to understand anything and i am in hurry coz if phone doesnt update in 2 days i will have to sell third day..
so here are the details of phone.
Os version: 7.0.7392.0
Firmware revision number: 2250.09.16901.707
hardware revision number: 0002
Radio software: 5.54.09.21.22.33b.50.10U
so if anyone can help me get mango beta then it will be the best.
and i had updated to NODO so i dont know now how to jailbreak it coz i want to get good applications which are not available in marketplace.
skype is necessary for me.
if someone can help in that too then it will be best.
thanx in advance

just search
I mean seriously if you're too lazy to read the instructions of how to do it, how do you expect anyone to even help you?
Secondly if you're afraid of bricking, don't do it. EOD
The mango beta isn't meant for consumers, but for developers. Yeah xda provided this for us but that's it. If you're afraid of doing it, don't do it.

Why don't you actually tell us what's wrong with the phone when you try update it?
Also, try the search button.
A little search done this for me - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149265

I did, but i didnt find someone with the same exact kernal saying which to download.

You can always install a newer ROM (based on KG5/KG6 or KH3).
Most of the cooked ROMs already have a rooted kernel.
