Hot on the heels of the HTC Dream (aka T-Mobile G1) “Rosie” HTC Sense video demo comes this, HTC’s second Android device, the Magic, supposedly running the official firmware from the upcoming HTC Hero. Unlike the LeakDroid SuperHERO ROM, this Fatal1ty ROM is tipped as being almost unmodified.
In fact, all they’ve apparently done is tweaked it just enough to make it run on the Magic. Because of that it supports Flash, as well as all the HTC widgets expected to be on the production Hero. There’s also multitouch support, and in the latest version both GPS and the camera are functional.
The one significant drawback we’re hearing is that Sense must be completely reloaded whenever the Magic’s home button is pressed, something which as you’d expect slows matters right down. That could be a memory issue or something else to be addressed by the hacked ROM creators.
