Let me know your results, im pretty sure the reason for my install of 0.8.1 failing has something to do with superuser permissions but thats just a guess on my part. be sure to follow install instructions carefully. GL.

No luck here. Did full wipes etc, tried a couple of kernels including ezgb-2636-v1.5.2f_s. but still no joy....getting fed up looking at 'cronos'

Sorry to hear, what was your exact procedure if you dont mind? and if youre interested in an extremely fast rom, which is what i;m curently using try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1442711 ...its the fastest ive come across so far. love iit.
Just my usual procedure: wipe everything manually bar SD EXT , then superwipe twice, powering off each time. Then I flash the rom (froyodragon 0.7) and when its completed turn off the phone and then go back into recovery to flash the altenative kernel, power off, then reboot.
Yeah, I agree, anything related to froyobylaszlo tends to be fast, I think it has a lot to do with froyo being so compatible with our 32b's (IMHO) My preference for froyo is why I'm keen to try froyodragon, plus darkguy's consistant enthusiasm, even after getting his phone nicked!
I too wanted the latest version badly but unfortunately it seems to be the end of it.i might consider using v0.7 again but for now im using frayo and it works well. hope someone takes a look at our issues though.
I am not really a dev, yet myself, but I have done lots of flashing and extensive research. I looked into the issue with the latest update for this rom and the compatibility issue when flashing it on a 32b. I found that the recovery we have for our device will not flash the update correctly, as it does state within the first post. I have successfully ported the required recovery, ClockWorkMod Recovery v4.0.1.4, to 32b, but I am awaiting the original dev for this recovery to give me the ok to post it. As soon as that occurs I will post it in the development section and you guys should be able to enjoy this rom on 32b devices.

17FroyoDragon
v0.8.1
"28 minus 11 Days Later"
INTRO
Welcome to FroyoDragon!
This is a personal, home-made ROM I've decided to share with all of you. Its main purpose is to offer speed, stability and the newest stuff available, while still being Froyo.
FEATURES
- AROMA Installer by amarullz!
- Based on CM6 Stable
- Port of Cronos Froyo & Cronos Ginger Hero ROM
- Latest Carz's kernel
- Latest Google Apps
- Latest Superuser
- 135 Density (320x480 resolution!)
- AudioPara hack
- Custom build.prop customizations
- Increases download/upload speed in some networks
- No bloat, stock look!
- 5x5 home grid
- MarketEnabler included
- Fast, fast, FAST!
IMPORTANT: Before downloading the ROM and flashing it blindly, YOU MUST READ AND UNDERSTAND the important information shown here, ELSE DON'T WHINE SAYING IT DIDN'T WORK AND THAT I DIDN'T WARN YOU.
1. This ROM DOES NOT SUPPORT CUSTOM MTD. You can do it, but don't come asking for help if you use it and something doesn't work and you break your device or whatever.
2. You NEED. I repeat, N-E-E-D ClockWorkMod Recovery v4.0.1.4. NO, it WON'T work with Amon_Ra or anything else. It might flash, but it doesn't install everything correctly. You can get such recovery HERE (Fixed).
3. Do a FULL WIPE (/boot, /data, /cache, /system, /sd-ext) before installing this ROM. NO, it's NOT incremental and if you try to install it over a ROM it WILL format these partitions.
4. This ROM has been tested ONLY with RADIO 6.35.16.19 AND 6.35.10.18.
5. Last but not least, I would like to say I am, but I'm not responsible if by flashing this ROM you start WW3, your PC explodes or makes your phone become a Cylon and assimilates you (wtf xD) so... as always with any other ROM out there: Try it at your own risk.
Everything said, here are your links

NOTE FOR 32B USERS: This ROM -works- for 32B ---BUT--- you have to flash an appropiate kernel for it to work, as the included one only works for 32A. And yes, there's no CWM Recovery BUT YOU CAN USE AMON_RA 1.7 (only 32B). Also, camera may or may not work, I've found it's random, so your device may vary. Still, I think it's worth the flashing. Enjoy 32B users! thanks to all those who have helped to test it in their devices ^_^!
PATCHES / UPDATE.ZIPs
These are update.zip files you can download into your SD Card and apply using ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.1.4 to archieve some desired effects in the ROM.
You can apply them anytime unless they say they're made to be applied ONLY after flashing the ROM zip.
Most (if not all) of these patches are ROM-independent. If you're using it in your ROM to help your users, PLEASE GIVE PROPER CREDIT!, or if I find out (and trust me I will) I'll take them offline. Thanks.

4It is too quiet here (on this forum) considering the fastest ROM on the market.
Any more updates?
Hey, hehe, thanks ^_^!
Right now I'm testing the release vanilla 0.3.7 version before I upload it this week. I'm also in the process of creating the various update.zip files to install additional stuff as required. I'm also fighting with the notification widget buttons (2G/3G and Autorotate) 'cause they don't want to be toggled off :/.
So yeah, it's been a bit quiet 'cause I've been busy with family and trying to get a new job x_x but hey don't despair, it'll be out this week for sure
Sweet, good luck! hope you like it. Yeah, GB is slow .
Thanks a LOT guys, your support really means a lot to me it's what keeps this project alive! .3CHANGELOG

Yay! I'm glad you like it! ^_^!!
Okay guys, I've had to flash 0.3.7 for a client and so far so good, for him and me, so I'm gonna work on a few issues it has, add/update some apps and release it too.
About the GSM signal weirdness, somebody has reported the same issue to me too so I guess I'm gonna leave out the 3G hack and upload it as a separate update.zip file for Venezuelan users.
Expect a new version soon! thanks all for your support!! 3
Aw, thanks XD... hey, I said I'll keep working on it XD... just, it might be a tad slow 'cause I need betatesters... or a new magic :/NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'm so sorry.... you were the best developer for htc magic!!!
FroyoDragon 0.7 works perfectly on my device, but I would have liked to see more updates in the future...
Now what device will you buy?
I tried to look for one so I can save up again but man, it's -very- hard to find it. Back when I bought it (last year) it was the only one in the store, of about 3 stores + 2 malls I went to.
Now, further development could be faster and/or less buggier if I could get another one, but since it's expensive -and- hard to find locally, I find it not very possible... unless, of course, I find a way to get it from Amazon (the only foreign store allowed in Venezuela), but alas, we have a limited "coupon" of 400$ maximum to spend online -and- I don't have a credit card, so...
I don't like to ask for donations because, hey, they're donations, you give it if you want to support someone's work, but hey, a dollar here is worth a ton, so even the smallest amount could be a big help! And you know, if I received 1$ for each ROM download, I'd surely quit my job xD. But sadly that isn't the case. Hey, I also have an address to send the phone through a courier, I'd have to ask if they allow to send somebody's spare Magic, I dunno what to think =(.
Right now I got a small, one of those basic, 160x120 screen & QVGA camera phones to, at least, receive emails through EDGE, Alcatel brand... lol. It's better than nothing :/
---
EDIT:
I just got a Defy! so I guess I'll be developing some ROMs for it anytime soon . Who knows, I could apply this ROM some cool stuff I can find in Defy ROMs
