    What is the best Android 2.0 or 2.1 custom ROM for a HTC Magic 32B phone? In my opinion it is the compilation called Intension. The latest release, with the Nexus One look currently is version 1.3.1 which can be downloaded here - http://bit.ly/8QQmTN. The main advantage over other Eclair version for HTC Magic is its enormous speed. With makes handling on a daily basis smooth and comfortable.

    • Installation: Install like any other ROM, if you need help please search. Wipe before flashing all updates unless otherwise specified.
    • Features:
      • Compcache control (size+on/off) in SpareParts
      • 5 Screen Launcher
      • Nexus One voice input
      • Apps2SD
      • Live Wallpapers
      • AOSP 2.1
      • … and more
    • Known Issues
      • Assisted GPS Problems (Cell tower location)
      • Facebook Contact Sync

    The only thing I’m missing right now is the company calendar application and widget. I hope this will be added in one of the next releases.
