[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
I've created a new ROM for the HoFo/Rogers community in the hope that others will help improve it. All of the other ROM's that I have tried had missing features or they were a bit buggy and power hungry just because they weren't made for the specific Rogers Magic. This ROM is based on the orginal Rogers ROM, so everything works and it is stable. Enjoy!

N.B. - If you get an error during an update please upgrade to the 2005 SPL: http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/

Thanks to lifeflayer we have a great server for hosting the ROM's.

You have to wipe if you are coming in from a different ROM, not if you are updating the HoFo ROM.

To use the adb console in version 2.0 +, please update to the latest SDK.

To improve your battery life, go into Settings --> Wireless controls --> Mobile networks --> uncheck 'Enable always-on mobile'

It is recommended that you use Amon_RA's recovery image to update this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530492

If you are a non-English locale user, you will need to also run this keyboard update after the HoFo update:

HoFo Kernel

File contains wlan.ko, boot.img-kernel and config.

This kernel is a modification of cyanogen's kernel with TigerTael's V3 patch applied to it.

N.B. - To get the config's working with Donut, you have to enable video4linux.
