Currently i still am on stock, which is very recent auto-update from Vodfone to Froyo/Android 2.2.1 (17dec2010) Before i proceed to rooting my Magic i wanna make sure this "speeding up thing" actually is gonna work, and i rather be safe than sorry... (don't wanna brick my phone) Do i need to be on a custom/hero rom to benefit from the speeding up tips ? Especially the cache to SD option seems appealing... Is there a way/is it sensible to move a swap file(if there is any) to SD as well ? Is there a way to obtain the original HTC/Vodafone update = Froyo/Android 2.2.1 ? (Vodafone automatically performs system updates without the option of downloading it manually) Newbie here…

To do it, you'd need to make sure you have the 2.2 Froyo ROM .zip file on your sd card, then boot in to recovery convert the ext2 to ext3, wipe data (factory reset), then click on Flash zip and choose the ROM again.

Can I still go back and convert Ext2 to Ext3? Will I lose anything? Will it speed up my phone or should I not even bother? Hello all,

I already have Froyo 2.2 installed on my MyTouch with 32B. Can I still go back and convert Ext2 to Ext3? Will I lose anything? Will it speed up my phone or should I not even bother?

The issue with using Hero ROMs is that they are all based on 1.5 Android builds (since HTC didn't make hero for Cupcake). You should be able to find a 2.x rom running either with or without Sense UI on top and flash that. Good luck! Badtom,

I have been in IT for decades and still managed to get it wrong several times until I watched your videos step for step - then I wondered what the hell I had been doing wrong all the time!! Fantastic quality and work! Anyway - I have one small question: I had the pleasure of playing with Google Maps Navigation before downgrading to 1.5. Now it Google maps is no longer available to me in the Market. A google search says " You must be running Android OS 1.6 or higher in order to access the Navigation feature." My question is:- do we have the option of flashing to 2.x or are we committed to 1.5? I must say that I am not 100% clear on the fundamentals between flashing firmware and loading a ROM. Are we simply emulating the Hero with a ROM on 1.5 in place of using the actual firmware? anyway - any access to higher firmware versions on a Magic 32B Thanks, Tom Hi Guys

You need to be rooted and running a custom hero rom on a non hero phone to use this.

Reformat/repartition the SD card via recovery, wipe data, then load the the new custom ROM again (Modacos works well in the downloads section). And his ROM should move everything to cache automatically (so long as your card is partitioned). Paymanz28,
