Htc Hero On Magic- Performance - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Wow! i was thinking of getting the Hero but now that i know i cant use 3g. i dont want it any more...
I have a question though! im getting rid of my g1 and getting an htc magic from ebay!
Spec For Magic:
rom: 512mb
Ram: 288MB
Specs For G1:
Ram: 192MB
i want to have the Hero port on the Magic. i currently have it on my g1 but its still a bit laggy and i dont have any widgets... whats the point???
so if i get the magic which has the same specs as the HTC Hero will the rom run fast with no lag at all cosidering it has 90Mb+ more ram than the g1 or no???

Theoretically yes it'll run smoothly. But only 1 way to find out right? =)

Before buy Magic please check
1. Google Branded Magic have the same RAM amount with G1 = 192
2. HTC Branded Magic is the only one that have 288 RAM
3. SPL 1.33.006 and 1.33.010 are unrootable stay away from those SPL

Isn't the unrootable SPL's only on the MyTouch3g which is the US version of the Magic?

more like they're practically diff EXCEPT for the CPU, BT hardware and LEDs
EDIT: not BT hardware... got confused with OP
Guys, it was released for the Magic 32A board. . . Magic also has 32B boards (which are the ones similar to the G1).
but im sure that there is a way to fix it.....
Doesn't share bluetooth. The maddening lack of a complete Sense UI continues indefinately...

There is. . . buy a Hero or a Magic 32A. The Hero on the G1 has always been slightly bugged, no matter how good it seems to run at first load. It all comes down to the G1 having 30+% less ram than the other devices. Apps2SD additionally seem to slow things down (which would explain the difference with how it runs between a G1 with 256 megs of ROM and a Magic 32B with 512 megs of ROM). To put it simple, unless somebody became the all powerful god of optimization and compression, it'll never run 100% flawless with 100% of the speed it should have. Hell, on devices it's meant for it still has the occasional challenges.
And ps to any mods out there, could we get this moved to the Q&A section?

nope,there's no rom ported from magic except myhero,but it's for 32a
now,every "magic rom 4 g1" is based off 3.03.707.3 test-keys, not real official 3.03.751.4 releas-keys.and some bad guy only change bulid.prop to .4..this's real a f*k phony way...

* FACE-PALM*
The tattoo's screen size is too small to be ported perfectly to the 32b devices here.
Get a tattoo if you love sense

really, i'd like to check this out. Is his ROM here on xda? i can't find it on androidspin
Yawn... Sense 2.1 will be out soon enough. Why waste time with a Donut build?
yeah about that 2.1, you reckon it'll have those all-too-long-awaited-for video drivers?
I mean it's comming out for the hero, question is will it be portable to mt3g\g1.
Sense 2.x on G1's and Magic's will always lack something. For me, it lacks speed. That's why I wanna buy a HTC Hero because I will have Sense and a fast speed and I can go to 2.1 Android which will also be fast.

Could you link us up, if you can?
Also, 1.6 Sense on the HTC Magic would be epic!

Funds I would be selling my MyTouch3G for a Legend/Desire when it comes out anyway so I will get more when I eventually sell my Hero.
that has got to one of the most idiotic things i have ever read....
maths and economics arent your strong points, are they?
the extra cost of getting a hero and its subsequent devaluation make that completely pointless

HTC Desire ROM on G1?

My friend just showed me his new HTC Desire rom and it's using the Sense UI w/multi touch which look really awesome o_o'. Does anyone know if the G1 will get a port for the desire like the N1 or are we stuck with firmware 1.5/2.0/2.1? Since it's just the N1 with a Hero rom

HELL NO. Use common sense. The Desire has a 1 ghz processor compared to 528 mhz on g1/mt3g. It has 573 mb of RAM compared to 192 mb of RAM.
If we can put a laggy Hero ROM on your phones how do we get a freaking Desire ROM? Just do yourself a favor and buy a new phone.
Just wait until Hero gets sense UI 2.1 and for someone to port it (if anyone has the lame g1/mt3g or even cares about it. Did you see how new ROMs are barely coming out now since the top devs got the nexus one! I can't wait until my contracts run out so I can get a new android phone)
The hero roms I've ran weren't very laggy compared to stock OS '

i wish, but it would be really hard for some one to format it to the g1 because the desire's screen it bigger

But Rosie isnt scalable like the vanilla android and most apps are now, we gotta wait till hero gets it.
How about a HTC Legend ROM (if available)?

I'd have to agree with this. It's analogous to installing Windows Vista on a 200 MHz Pentium-II processor. Can it be done? Sure. Will it be usable? Unlikely.

big words make brain hurt -.- lol
but seriously though you never know, the devs might find a way to make it usable.
when there's a will, there's a way.
It will be too slow and stuff like that. Screen size issues and we got to optimize the hell out of it just to make it lag decent.
Plus it is too big to fit on the system partition of the g1 even with the death spl.
well i hope a dev like KING can port for the g1 - i know he can, the guy is a beast, just give it some time

Android 2.1 on ELFin?

I don't have a HTC Vogue to run Android,i just have a ELFin.
I really hope that Android rom for Vogue can run on ELFin,is that possible?
Plz tell me why.
thanks
you cant use them the elfin, for 2 big reasons
1. our phones along with the kaiser, polaris, and nike all use an ARM MSM 7xxx based processor, the elf runs an OMAP Processor so without heavy changes to the code there is no way to run it, which means it wont work
2. memory constraints, while the vogue is not exactly a high memory phone the elf has even less, this is also the same reason why the titan has a hard time running android
you could probably make it work but you would have to recode alot of stuff
ok,so i'm not a programer.
But Touch can run Android 1.5,so I think it can run the 2.1 rom.
any body can run SenseUI rom for this?

for cdma touch, yes. for gsm touch, no. again, you have too little memory.
but ELFin has 128MB ram and 256MB rom
and that is isn't enough?

there is a project called wing-linux. Its for Omap850 devices. haret is used to run android, so you can easily go back to wm. But at the moment there is only Android 1.5.
it's ok but that project isn't so good,the speed is too slow and that is just for fun

[Q] Get a G1?

Im about to switch to T-Mobile however i am not going to be able to get a smartphone package so im trying to get a smartphone and ill just put in a non-smartphone SIM card. Anyway, I have a 1v1 trade in process for a G1 and my ZUne HD. Should i get a G1? i would like to know if the Gingerbread roms here are speedy and work well. Also, if the devs are likely to get Ice Cream roms going. And finally, If the new Google Music works on the G1 with a Gingerbread rom
If you can get a better phone, then do it cuz the G1 is really old and sorta slow. Gingerbread performance is decent enough for me with overclock to 576 and the new radio.
The G1 is too slow now!
The Gingerbred Roms (COS-DS, Superginger...) works ok with the "new" radio and hboot
and overclocking. Froyo works better!
Music app?? Do you mean Music 3.0??It worked for me on COD-DS.
It also has ony abour 90mb internal mem. and with the new radio and hboot (2.22.27.08 radio and 1.33.0013d hboot)
Go and get another phone not the G1 its to slow!I was using it for an half year but it was too slow so I bought the HTC HD2
I was going to get a HD2, but the keyboard was terrible(didn't have android then ) and the screen seem really flimsy(telstra version)

Hmm yes WM6.5 is laggy
But after updating official HTC Rom / updating radio, flashing hspl 2.08, flashing MADLGR 1.13, flashing CWM 3.0.2.5, partition sdcard, flash a Rom, you finally get Android on the HD2 and its incredible fast and has (almost*) no laggs!
Im running an incredible Rom: imilka's Incredible Sense
*laggs only in Sense 3.0 and Gingerbread + Sense
Yea, but I went and got a lappy + a dream instead . Oh well
if you are looking for a decent g1, head to swappa here http://swappa.com/devices/all and look for g1. the lowest price available now is 75 USD, which is a bargain
but just a heads up, g1 have a really small ram, even with 2708+ and cc turned on.
keep the zune HD, better to have both of them.
