I have mine updated via the Roger 911 patch. It’s smooth and fast. However, it uses up a lot of the phone memory. I found only 50MB left out of my 288MB phone memory. Overall, it’s a must.

There was a problem with the downloads last week, should be fixed now. If you still get the “not for your device” the download isn’t compatible.

Is it possible to get a SN from an HTC Magic to use on the website and then apply the ROM to a mytouch 3g?

I have it for HTC Magic Rogers Canada as a manditory update. It sucks… They have disabled many Google utilities such as Google Talk’s contact picture update. It has a large list of always on apps that I personally will never use and cannot disable or preferably uninstall.

Twitter (peep)
Facebook
Stocks
ect.

Uses 60MB more RAM than prior to upgrade with less apps downloaded and running

Feels nice though.
Pinch-to-zoom is cute but to hard on small screen.

Htc is a retard by having to different chip sets 32B and 32A
the 32B comes with 192 megs ram and the 32A 288 megs ram.
same phone mind you, but no let’s cut the ram for the t-moblie phone…dumb they should keep it as one model.

If I weren’t rooted and were a possible candidate for the “upgrade” I’d be most concerned about whether or not I could revert back to the vanilla Android. Having played around with Sense 1.5 and 2.1 as well as vanilla 1.6, 2.0 and 2.1 I would be one to revert to vanilla Android. Sense has some really cool features (the 2.1 dialer should be in every Android release!), but it’s almost too “showy” for my tastes. Especially after having 2.1 on my G1 for a couple days now there’s no way I’d choose sense over it as it actually lacks some things I prefer(viewing contacts groups for one).

I upgraded my Magic to the new release last weekend. Although the update brings lots of cool features it also holds tons of bugs. Battery holds less, problem with contacts, ringtones, etc. Honestly I’d rather stayed stock.

I have the Ion (Magic/Sapphire), but I agree with the above comment, I’ll stick with the ROM I have :) I also have a Sprint Hero, and Rosie.apk (Sense app) was the first thing I removed after rooting. The second thing I removed was the annoying bootup animation (the sound is what annoyed me, the animation wasn’t so bad)

But yeah, if you miss your WinMo device, then I guess HTC Sense is good for you. If you went with Android to get away from WinMo, chances are you’re going to prefer the “vanilla” L&F.

I’ve been operating without sense for a long time. It’s a wonder I’m still employed.

Upgraded on my Rogers (canada) Magic a week ago. It is definitely way better than the stock android UI. It’s like I have a new phone now. There was a memory leak issue with the using the cell towers to determine location with the old firmware, which seems to have been rectified on this version. I would never go back to stock android 1.5!

I particularly like their new “album” app which replaces the gallery app. You can swipe through the photos and have the pinch zoom multitouch capability. The lock screen is also much slicker.
