Couple of days ago HTC relased Magic Update which includes Sense UI. It's available at http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=267&cat=2&dl_id=862
Is it possible to port it to G1 and create a hero-like rom with working BT?
This would be great.
I would love to see a colaborative effort from the developers on this because the two phones are so closely related. This should be a relatively easy port after changing out the kernel. Here's hoping people like WG, Jubeh, Cyan, King, and the rest get involved.

This is in regards to the HTC branded Magic. Magic has a 32a board. This wont work because the MT3G/G1 are 32b.
Since it's possible to do this: [TOOL][EBI1/32A] MAGIC Port (PORT & USE ANY 32B ROM ON YOUR 32A PHONE!) [18-12-09] forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=601033 maybe it would be possible to do it the other way 32A->32B and then port it to Dream

The 32A also has 288MB ram & 512MB ROM which is found in the Magic and Dream has only 192MB ram and 256ROM. A full Sense Build can't be used and BT will never work on a sense rom.The HTC Hero has the Sense UI which is found on all hero roms here.The only diff is the boot screen on the magic which is a large android that moves. It has been ported already but will never run smooth on a dream cause of HW limitations.
The quickest SenseUI I've seen is the espressoUI. I have some pretty high hopes for it. And I looks great!
well as of now the only way i know of installing it is through HTC Sync. in other words, i can't find an update.zip to unpack, so we need system dumps.
rooted stock rom available
CursorDroid already posted a rooted stock rom in the sapphire development section for 3.05.401.5 rom. Should be much easier.

I love sense roms like espresso on my magic 32b but non working BT keeps me way from it (use this on my car). Saw the posibility of working BT with a 32a radio & spl but a few bricked magics and non working at all sense roms...
I know isn't the same hardware but: is it impossible to fix it for the developers ?

Moved this to Q&A where it belongs.
Also, the answer is no. The Magic's getting the update are the 32A's which are closer to the Hero in hardware than to the G1's. So you'd still be in the same boat you are in with current Hero ROMs.
this is pointless
its odexed and is cupcake

Ok, this will seem noobish but I do understand what I'm talking about.
Now that we have the Sense dump from Magic devices does that mean that we can get a Hero ROM with bluetooth. Also, do the Sense dumps have a new kernel? If they have a new kernel then we will probably have to wait for the source of the new kernel to get bluetooth correct?
Am I insane? Lol do I make sense (no pun intended) here? I'm just hopeful for BT is all
okay nevermind, they just released the htc magic 32a sense update in taiwan!!

hey, iam loocking for the Nexus One Bootscreen for my G1 running CM 4.2.9.1 (Stock SPL) i like to flash it like a new Theme or use it via MetaMorph.
Thanks for try to help me
You can't. The way the bootscreen works for both that and the droid is exclusive to 2.0+ based roms.
so i have to wait, till cyanogen release the first 2.0 roms
Yeah. There was a think tank that got a lot of attention a while back, trying to get real animated boot screens in 1.6 ROMs, but it ultimately fizzled out. Everything we could think of, was prohibited by some weird little quirk in Android. It would take way more coding than we at XDA have the manpower for in order to get it working. So, yeah, we have to wait for HTC to release 2.0 drivers for the Dream--at which point we'll have a stable, totally usable 2.0 ROM, probably from Cyanogen, but definitely from someone.
Can anyone post camera.apk from 2.1 hero update or camera.apk from sense 2.1 with full working camera and camcoder on htc magic(problably if work on hero workfor magic) because i haven't fast internet connection and i can't download a full firmware onli for 1 application... Thanks! And sorry for my bad english..

Wrong. The camera needs htc sense frameworks, so It will not work. Maybe with heavy modification someone could get it working on the magic, but your much better off asking in magic section for that. All the devs here are hero devs, not magic devs
Ok but i have a legend 2.1 rom on it with all sense 2.1 frameworks so probably it works...Because the capera.apk now i have, the prewiew of captured photo not work,zoom not work,cideo of camcoder not work audio and zoom...
Well, whatever. Here is the camera from the latest villainROM. Its not from the legend, so I cant be sure it will work. I don't have any legend roms around, but I can get you one and rip the camera from that if you need it.
Ok thanks! But how i add this new camera i've tied to push to /data/app_s and to /system/sd/app_s but i don't find any htc camera application...
Well, as far as I know, it needs to be installed to /system/app/
If it still doesnt work, ask and Ill dig out an old villainrom with a legend base, see if thats any good
can you post me the htccamera.odex?
hmmm... sorry, all the roms these days are deodexed, I wouldnt know where to find that
I am currently running kingklicks sapphiresense 1.4 and loving it, except the Bluetooth is broken and a2sd, if present, is, um. .. strange. Anywho, I want a new Rom. I need a working flash player and a2sd. Sense would be nice, but not a necessity. I just love the looks and speed. Sense wit& working Bluetooth would be a godsend. However, I will gladly take sense over Bluetooth if I must choose. I own a US T-Mo G1 with DEATHSPL and amon_ra 1.7.0 . I believe I'm running the minimum radio for deathspl, but I'm willing to reflash. Also, if there's a kernel that can enhance the Rom you reccomend, please do tell. Thank you!

As far as i know I know theres no way to get flashplayer on G1. The hero has Flash player 10 built in. I'm not sure if the devs take that out of the rom though but it's worth a try. The G1 wasn't really meant for flash.

Try just about any hero sense rom by kingklicks. Flash support is amazing, but apps2sd is busted.
Is there a stock eclair rom for the G1? Stock as in no themes applied, no configurations, but rooted though.
I want to stay eclair and stock as possible.
Thanks
unless you count CM roms as "stock" its pretty much stock if you dont mess with CM settings.... and its smooth as heck... here is the link http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...magic-mean-lean-pastry-machine-v508-06192010/
eclair was never officially released for the dream/sapphire platform.
Cyanogen (as indicated) did make a working port.. the problem was there was a bug that caused yaffs problems in CM5.0.8, as well as a text display bug.
Thus why when I made the 2708+ port of cm5.0.8 I included some fixes:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/11435-old-stable-cm-508-2708-port/
if you don't have the new radio 2708+ radio try flashing the port above followed by the ebi0 port of the kernel at .. I think that will work but I've not tested it :/

This gave me a nice increase in speed and bit more battery life after upgrading and using the 2708+ port of cm5.0.8.
