I am sorry I dont have a messaging plan. Can I test it on google voice?

Rooting also does not solve my problem. there is still a 10 sec delay after pressing home from the market. it is very annoying

 

[ayush20m]

Apparently rooting didnt help. It seems to have made the problem worse. Now no matter what application is on, when I exit it, it takes around 10 seconds for all the icons to load back and before I can start using the phone again.

Are you using another Home app. I was using Home++ and noticed a lot of hang. Sometimes it was pissing me off. So i dont use it now. LOL

Phone still fly's even if i cant get MMS's

I think its Tmobile. Unless someone can confirm that they are also not receiving MMS's with Super D. Its not going to kill me however would like to have ALL features of the phone

i have att, so if only I had a message plan, I would have been able to confirm it.

Well i guess i needed a restart. solved the problem of 10 sec delay.

Can you send MMS's?

Well i guess i needed a restart. solved the problem of 10 sec delay.

Also, go to Spare Parts (in Settings), and check Lock Home In Memory. That'll help a lot.

I can send them. I can even send them to myself and view them. Its if someone sends me a pick. Tmobile says it was a eternal memory thing. WRONG... The non RAM hack did not help. They also said it was the senders fault. NOT!

So im hoping two things. 1) its Tmobiles fault and they dont like me. or 2) Its a bug.

We will figure this out some day.

 

[ayush20m]

Dont worry you wont. The steps are very clear. Follow the unlockr video and do as he says.

Rooted yesterday, it was pretty simple. Falling in love with the phone again

I have the same problem, but only when I exit from gallery,

My problem was solved after a reboot. Also I went to spare parts and enabled sticking apps on home page.

See if that helps you.

hey guys, I'm thinking about rooting and installing the latest stable Cyanogen firmware. First I have a few questions:

1. will the Cyanogen firmware give me a noticeable speed boost and eliminate lag that is on the stock 1.6 OS?

2. Is this guide up-to-date? Full Update Guide - MT3G/Magic Firmware to CyanogenMod - CyanogenMod Wiki

3. Is wifi tethering easy to install?

4. Is there any functionality that I will lose on Cyanogen?

A few days ago I decided to change my 3g htc magic rooting to htc hero room, but in the middle of the process my phone turns off and when I turn on the whole screen was on black as a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark on the middle and unresponsive. Practically dead.
Can someone help?

1. yes it will definitely give you better speed.
2. this is an updated guide.
3. it is and on some roms it comes pre-installed.
4. cyanogen and superd roms are very stable and you dont lose any feature. you might get some added features (i hope you dont mind that )

thanks ayush20m.

one more question: After I finish the guide on the cyanogen wiki, I assume I don't have to do anything special to re-connect to the T-mobile network? Is all that just stored on my SIM card and gets picked up automatically?

Yes, nothing else is to be done to connect to t-mobile's network as far as your voice connection is concerned. Depending on the rom you use, you may have to add the apn settings (for data connection). You can find these settings easily by googling for them. Once again, this is not necessary but dont get shocked if you have to do it in some roms.

2. Is this guide up-to-date? Full Update Guide - MT3G/Magic Firmware to CyanogenMod - CyanogenMod Wiki...

Can someone explain steps 11-13 from the guide?

So after I use FlashRec to back my recover image, what does step 12 mean? Is there a button/option in FlashRec to download a different recovery image than the one I just backed up?

Also, once I get to step 13, how exactly do I flash the new recovery image? is that another button/option in the FlashRec app?

11. Launch FlashRec. Use it to back up your recovery image.
12. Download the new recovery image from FlashRec
13. Flash the new recovery image.

Once you have backed up your recovery you'll have the option of installing a new one. You can download one and put it in your sd card with flashrec.apk.

Step 12 allows you to download a new recovery, since you have one stored in your sd card, just type in the address of your recovery and install it.

This process is explained in a video by unlockr.

I can't view that video at work, but after reading the instructions on that unlocker site it sounds like I have the option of either using a different recovery image (like the Amon Ra’s Recovery Image), or clicking the "Flash Cyanogen Recovery" button like the one in this image below?? If so, what is the advantage of using the Amon Ra recovery image vs the built in Cyanogen recovery?

 

[ayush20m]

Have a look here.

Basically from what I have heard, amonRa (as a developer) is good for recovery images while CM is good for roms.

 

[jasnmb]

Thanks! you've been a good help. I think I'll just click the Flash Cyanogen Recovery button.
