***HTC Magic Thread***

Cool :D If you could do a guide to install this rom that would be greatly appreciated dude! I don't want to accidentally brick my Magic!
 
Ok the £12 cradle off eBay came the other day, I didn't post as I wanted to wait until I sprayed it white which I did today (2nd coat).

It's pretty good I have to say, will also charge a 2nd battery which is nice but in order for it to connect to the PC via USB the power cable also has to be plugged in, I guess the cradle requires some extra juice due to the extra circuitry compared to just the normal USB cable on its own. Not a major issue as I have some extra sockets to spare :p.

Now to find an app that can display a clock when on the cradle as I have it set to keep the screen on when the phone is plugged in :D
 
Not found one yet :( if anyone knows of one, hit a brother up!

Also, Magic = nicest looking phone out TBH :)
 
mrk I use 'digital clock' was chiefly an alarm clock app but discovered you can set it in portrait for your cradle too!
 
You mean make them white? it took quite a bit of effort to mask all the holes and contacts to make sure the spray didn't hit them!

I'll have to think about it as I only have weekend time to do this :p

Thanks for the digital clock recommendation!

Edit*

Digital Clock looked too basic so I've opted to just hit HOME to let the phone go into sleep mode and then dock it which results in the status screen showing time/date/battery etc:

Nice job on the stand. Looks excellent. :)

I use the retro clock widget on my desktop which looks well - personal choice though.

Hey, can you tell me how to enable the option to keep the screen on when plugged in? I can't seem to find it. Your cradle looks great and I am jealous!

In system settings > Applications > Development then Stay Awake :)

On the cradle the touchscreenw orks perfectly too, it helps that it's sensitive enough to use the phone as a desktop speakerphone too and stuff :D
