Comments on: HTC Sense UI on HTC Magic http://www.madox.net/blog/2009/11/01/htc-sense-ui-on-htc-magic/ Perversions of an Engineer Tue, 31 Jan 2012 01:03:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Greg http://www.madox.net/blog/2009/11/01/htc-sense-ui-on-htc-magic/comment-page-1/#comment-1146 Greg Fri, 26 Feb 2010 05:03:27 +0000 http://www.madox.net/blog/?p=555#comment-1146 If you don't mind me bothering you some more, when did you get that recent ROM update? It's not that important, but I'm just curious about something. The reason I'm asking is something messed up all my UIDs on my phone last week, which most posts seem to say can happen after an update. All my apps could not longer read/write their respective data folder and I ended up wiping the phone and re-installing everything. Seems suspicious to me after you mentioned it, but I didn't have any log files to check after I wiped the phone. Do you get prompted to run the ROM update or does it happen automatically? That whole lack of access to backup the data folder without root is annoying, but that's another thread. Fortunately I had exported whatever data I could before our SenseUI upgrade that we only received about a month ago, so I was only "out" a bit of data, but still takes time to reconfigure everything :( BTW It was actually my reinstall/reconfiguration that led me to your post that had gotten me a bit excited about tethering getting easier. We're supposedly getting our 2.1 upgrade by "midyear" according to the PR rep from our carrier. Canada usually lags behind other counties so that's good news for you :-) I'm just happy to hear a rumour that we may be able to get paid apps by next week finally. :D If you don’t mind me bothering you some more, when did you get that recent ROM update?

Interesting thing to note was that there was a recent ROM update, which I strangely got over the air (OTA). Which changed the updater to something more refined in my opinion, but with almost no other changes, so it looks like there's a significant ROM update coming soon :) I’m using the ‘ChungHwa’ (Taiwanese) ROM in Australia.

Yeah, that was where I was expecting it, but it's not on my phone. Too bad. I wonder why they either didn't include it or explicitly removed it for us (Canadian). We're allowed to tether, at least with Rogers. Oh well, maybe it will be there on the next update. We're supposedly getting an official 2.1 upgrade this year. Or I'll get bored/adventurous one day and root my phone and get a custom ROM that includes it now. Just a little too nervous currently about turning my phone into a brick. :-) Anyway, thanks for the help. I guess I'm stuck with Azilink but it could be much worse. Sigh.

I suspect the latest ROM from Rogers strips it out somehow(??), but worth asking. As far as I can tell, all the versions are the same or slightly higher than yours, and loving the SenseUI as well, but can't find the tethering feature and wouldn't mind dropping Azilink as well. From this and another post of yours, I'm assuming NetworkManager picked it up as a USB device and connected. Nice. Hey Madox,
