The HTC Europe site just <a href=\"http:\/\/www.htc.com\/europe\/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=267&amp;cat=2&amp;dl_id=862\">released a ROM update for the Magic<\/a> that brings a little bling, courtesy of the HTC Sense user interface. For those keeping track, this is version 3.05.401.3 and you&#8217;ll need a Windows PC to run the RUU &#8212; short for ROM Update Utility, of course. The update completely flashes the handset, so make sure you&#8217;ve got all your important bits and bytes backed up or in the cloud. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/01\/29\/htc-magics-sense-update-ready-for-download\/\">Engadget commenters<\/a> also point out that those crazy cats at XDA-Developers <a href=\"http:\/\/forum.xda-developers.com\/showthread.php?t=548837\">have had an ROM with Sense for a bit now<\/a>, so you could always go unofficial routes as well.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inline-related-posts-55492\" class=\"widget inline-related-posts alignleft clearfix\">\n<div class=\"widget-wrap\">\n<div class=\"widget-title-wrap clearfix\">\n<h2 class=\"widget-title\">More on <span><a class=\"category-link\" href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/topic\/android\" title=\"Android\">Android<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<ul class=\"inline-related-posts\">\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/01\/30\/video-review-of-nexus-one-dock-is-it-worth-45\/\">Video Review of Nexus One Dock &#8212; Is It Worth&nbsp;$45?<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/01\/29\/mobile-firefox-for-android-in-february\/\">Mobile Firefox for Android in February?&nbsp;Nope.<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/01\/29\/nexus-one-phones-on-t-mobile-hit-with-nationwide-data-outage\/\">Nexus One Phones on T-Mobile Hit With Nationwide Data&nbsp;Outage?<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-related-posts-article\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2010\/01\/28\/google-nexus-one-dock-now-available-for-45\/\">Google Nexus One Dock Now Available for&nbsp;$45<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"brand-icon jk-run\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\" title=\"Visit: jkOnTheRun - This is a description.\">Gadget Gurus<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div class=\"widget-bottom clearfix\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Bear in mind that there are two versions of the Magic &#8212; one branded &#8220;with Google&#8221; and one without. This ROM is for the non-Google-branded device, which is phone version PVT32A. If you&#8217;ve got that one, you can some add some sense to your phone. It&#8217;s smart of HTC to offer this type of customization, but I&#8217;d like to see the company work something out with Google. There&#8217;s not much &#8220;sense&#8221; to have some Android handsets locked down in terms of look and feel if it&#8217;s going to be allowed on others. I realize that Google wants some control over the experience, but having it both ways seems a little contradictory.<\/p>\n<p>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/55492\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/comments\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/55492\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/godelicious\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/55492\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/delicious\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/55492\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gostumble\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/55492\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/stumble\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/55492\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/godigg\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/55492\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/digg\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/55492\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/goreddit\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/55492\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/reddit\/jkontherun.wordpress.com\/55492\/\" \/><\/a> <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?host=jkontherun.com&#038;blog=4479943&#038;post=55492&#038;subd=jkontherun&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HTC Magic owners finding the stock Android experience a bit too blah have a downloadable treat today.
