From what i can tell, the answer is no.

There are 2 different version of the magic.

The Vodaphone ( With Google ) and Magic ( Rogers ) version.

The VF magic has 192mb of ram and the Rogers having the 288mb ram.

From what i can tell there is a stock rom for the Rogers version but not the VF version. :(

I will keep looking around tho to see what i can find.

There are a few other roms i want to try out so will report back on what i can get to work and what runs good on the phone.
 
Ah didn't realise there were 2 versions. Look forward to seeing what your results are!

Stewie Griffin & FMJ sound boards are also quite funny.

I put the ION rom on last night, and its is very fast and stable.

Think i will be sticking with this one for now :)

Ohh i will try and get a guide together over the weekend.
 
ION rom? got a link to anywhere hosting screens/videos? willd efo look out for your guide as I would like that too :p
 
Excellent, by the loks of it it sounds liek it's much faster than stock HTC Magic (Vodafone) rom too!

Will update to this I think but a guide would be great :)
 
Thats a pretty good guide and not far off what i used :)


Get the android SDK installed and use the usb drivers in the sdk.

Always use nandroid to backup first :) this is a must :P


But apart from that its not that hard.
 
you will have to reinstall them all.

Quick Q, has anyone notcied the plastic at the side of the screen seems to be loose ?

You can press it in on both sides and it makes a slight clicking noise, as if it dosent fit correctly.
 
Can't say I notice the issue on mine! it feels solid!

Also, did you install teh normal keyboard btw?
 
The default keyboard on ION, if you flip it sideways does it become QWERTY? by the looks of it it's only a softkeyboard if it vertical mode - if so then that's not a huge issue I guess.

Also, I may be a little stuck :p

Will just wait until I get home I think!
 
I think I found somthing new today since the update - when you're in contacts and hold the right scroll bar, you get the pop out showing you what letter you're on.

I bet thats not new tho :)
 
It appears to be a qwerty kb either way its flipped.

One thing about this ION rom is the battery life has increased greatly.

I use it for 30 mins music while cycling to work texting a lot and some browsing.

With everything turned off on both roms gps / wifi etc.

Usally by now the battery is about 60 - 70%

my battery is still at 92%, so they have done an amazing job on this rom
