Have your Cupcake and Eat It Too (today's cupcake build) - G1 Android Development

As you may know, Google merged their internal branch with Cupcake today. I built the image for dream and published it on my site. Have fun:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2009/04/have-you-cupcake-and-eat-it-too.html

How about some screenshots of the differences? I would like to see what is different from the sapphire builds.

I would guess that you've flashed this to an actual handset.
I won't have a chance to play with this for the next few days, so I'm curious to know how your "clean" cupcake build compares to Haykuro's Magic builds in terms of features (Exchange support, etc) and hardware support (WiFi/BT/radio/etc).
If I DO get a chance I may play around with this, I'm curious. Thanks for the info!

Yeah, I have flashed it. This is a build of the Android code that was only just committed upstream today. It is not in any Haykuro build yet AFAIK. It's not a "usable" build by any means (no Google apps), but it's fun to see what will be coming down to our phone in a matter of weeks.

I am just wondering what you meant by ui changes. Are we talking about a different notification bar or something?

Good work!
I will wait a bit before I put cupcake on my ADP1, but still cool that Google has made the merge.
Ive been playing around with the latest Cupcake build on my Touch Pro and indeed, the changes are significant.
The changes cupcake brings can be found here

You got Android working on your HTC Touch Pro???

What on earth makes you come to that conclusion

Erm, yeah.. We have been working on porting Android to the Touch Pro and Diamond for more than 5 months. Check htc-android.com, htc-linux.org/wiki or even the topic here at XDA (which isnt active anymore, here.
Neccesary files can be downloaded over at connect-utb.com

I have the master build running, I compiled the kernel and wifi, and took all the google apps from the 502h and every thing is working as expected, just lost the LED notification, even when charging I am not seeing the LED light, else every thing is working, Maps, YouTube, market[just not able to download app, its stuck and downloading], but its all working, gmail, contacts and calender sync[but have to deploy all the closed source into it]
Thanks,
Pramod
PS: Compiled the 2.6.29 kernel but not able to make the wifi compiled with it.

Wow sounds very interesting, might have to flash just to take a look.

lol ^ that's the reason i got the G1. my manager had android on his touch around the same time the G1 was releasing. he's had problems with running it on the diamond as of late. i'll give hime the links you provided

Nvm got it.

Everything looks the same as haykuros build 4.5 without google apps, only thing i see different is the dev tools is now spare parts with different options.

Nothing is special but I think this build can run more smooth than haykuro 4.5. because it doesn't include Google apps so I will not flash it

What does can run more smooth mean?
Either its faster than haykuro 4.5 or its not.
Is it faster?

lol @ dwang..... maybe wiki the word "smooth" haha
When something runs smoothly vs something running sluggish and slow there's a differenece
Smooth means fast yes.....

Runs about the same to me, meaning if you add google apps it will surely run slower then haykuros build. Also many bugs browser gives error and wont load, camera and video recorder force-closes, auto rotate does not work blah blah list goes on lol...

I don't think that was lost on dwang. I think he was referring to the entire sentence, which seems to contradict itself. By saying it'll run smooth, but then saying he will not flash it.

Nifty. I wish I had a spare device to play around with it. I may just have to install the emulator so I can mess with this stuff, I find it very interesting.

Rotohammer's 19214 ROM V4

For those interested in my current ROM, here you go.
Notes:
MD5Sum ff713c7f13afb3db4ce26a51a487940d
Weighs in at 62 meg
No bootloader, boot splash or radio included.
I recommend radio 1.58.25.17
With above radio, first gps fix took 1.5 minutes
Removed all the AT&T junk software & games, jbed, RealPlayer
Removed MS Office apps (I only use/accept ISO Standard docs like PDF)
Enabled HSDPA & Icon , no service icon problems (no X)
Left AT&T service settings
Left in MS Voice Command since its hard to find
Vers 1.6.19214 MSVC works better than 19209 on this rom
No HTC Home, use a cab if you like it so much
Screen doesn't turn off when you wake it up like other ROMs
16meg page pool
Removed Themed dialer skins (I use the non themed dialer)
So far all my apps & SIPS work (iGo8)
Internet works consistent on AT&T, even when set to disconnect after 1min
Bluetooth file xfers work fine, just reboot phone after you pair first
I just realized that "Show SIM Contacts" has stayed disabled, cool!
Graphics benchmark: 1588.25*
Known Issues:
File system cache is disabled by default
Security is not disabled (you get the not certified warning)
Install KaiserTweak or AdvancedConfig to adjust above settings
Its the best** ROM I've used to date.
Use HTC Rom Image Editor to add or remove files to your liking.
4Shared Download
Ps: V1-V3 were failures
* I didn't really benchmark the graphics.
** Best: Meaning everything works decently, not as fast feeling as L26Vx Roms though.
Tip:
Heres a setting that I'm starting to enjoy: I set my data connection timeout to 1 minute using AdvancedConfig (Schaps), then set the "Connection Established" notification to sound a "bink" (Quietest) AND my email is set to retrieve every 15 minutes. That gives me an audible indicator that email is being checked, and to expect a possible voice announcement. Also, when I don't hear the "bink" I know now that I left an app like Opera 9.5 running, which keeps the data connection alive, consuming more power. Its like a heartbeat to let me know that I'm running optimal.

Thanks, but I've found the NEON radio 1.58.25.17.
But he posted about 1.58.25.27. And I've seen several different posters with 1.58.25.27 in they're sigs, so I figured it couldnt be a typo. Is there a 1.58.25.27?
Tin
Fast ROM! The only "bug" I've encountered, and it's more of a customization thing, is that the security is not disabled (you get the not certified warning), therefore my UC did not run correctly. So now I've installed all my apps, and sync'ed with exchange, and everything is running great.
I dont use HTC Home, but SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 is running as fast as ever.
I'll probably stick with this for awhile.
Thanks for your time!

After running so many cooked ROMs, I was startled by the warnings at first. Then I realized, man, I have to play catchup and create an archive of tweaks to apply to new factory ROMs. So I let it go in hopes I can find a bunch of other useful tweaks, which, if we collect here (before 19215) I'll make a new version of this ROM.
FWIW, I favor lite ROMs for the purpose of debugging. I'll be posting an Add-Ons package with all the apps that I install. If there were more releases done like this, folks would end up with just what they wanted.
The whole HTC Home & IGo8 bug is such a thread waster as every ROM thread deals with the same applications issue over and over. The two apps don't work together, there is no fix, get over it!
I realize some folks like the "batteries included" ROMs as it saves them (theoretically) setup time. I seem to still spend hours getting my phone just right
Where was I going with this rant? I need coffee.

Neither did I! This ROM was born while comparing your V9b1 against the stock 19214 AND while playing with the ROM editor due to my dislike of HTC Home. It just so happened that I created a ROM that I actually liked!
I'm looking forward to running a lite version of your next ROM after the bugs are squashed, as I do enjoy the speed of your ROMS.
Long term I just plan on passing feedback to you and use your ROMs

Congratulations
Hey Roto,
Been playing with this for about 2 hours now and I am really impressed. It is a clean, fast, stable AT&T based Rom that I can customize to my liking. It is so clean and fast I don't know what to load on it
Edit: This is a keeper

Benchmark
Roto- Thanks for taking the time to cook this rom.
Does iGo work? just kidding!
Don't know how you feel about benchmarks and I do not believe anyone has posted a 19214 bmark other than the vid-only gxmark (1588 anyone?)- Anyone attempt a more comprehensive test like SBP benchmark on this rom yet?
gasman858 said:
1588 anyone?
Click to expand...

Exactly! I've gotten zippo out of comparing the benchmarks. When someone does shoehorn in new graphics drivers, then we'll see the big jump. As far as OS benchmarks, its pretty much bound by the cpu speed and whether theres any other apps running. +/- %5 isn't even discernible. I read once that in order to notice a performance change, the factor has to be equal to/greater than 2x.
I love this. No HTC Home crap. I always disable it to put in WP and cnetx face contacts.
I'd run SPB benchmark, but it apparently requires a windows computer. I'm content in saying it feels frickin snappy.
YO! Did you disable the file system cache? Copying WP themes and icon packs is taking forever.

The only tweak I made was to enable HSDPA. If file system cache is disabled by default, lets add that to the list of fixes to do. I didn't pay attention as I ran though AdvancedConfig to setup my own defaults.

New Cupcake, Original Frosting (Updated - 5/31/09 - 7:44PM EST)

Excellent idea! I was hoping someone would do this.
I'll load it up this morning and let you know if I see any issues!
Ahhh perfect, I was poking around to see what I would need to do to bring the multitouch browser to H (I already have the Voice Search and Dialer) and I find this. Thank's dude.

Not 100% sure, but this loads faster on mine. I "overclock" to slow to save battery haha but I didn't notice a difference running hr3. I've been going back and forth trying to get what I need. The blue lock screen overlay is actually the MAIN reason I am doing this. Stupid, huh?
Key factor may be that I DID update the radio.
I did leave out superuser, spare parts, and anything else that can be installed normally for those who don't want them. I change my mind about apps hourly so I try to keep default installs as clean as possible to avoid troublesome adb commands.
This sounds very intersting. Does it include the Exchange integration from the 5.0H build?
This is EXACTLY what I've been waiting for... soon as you get locked down which apps ur keeping, I'm on it.
Sounds great twisted. I'm in love with 5.0.2H because of the mail app and pdfviewer. Yesterday I stepped up to ADP1.5 and although it was fast, it's missing these key components that I use daily. I look forward to you app log.
This is really interesting. I can't wait to hear(read) thee results. Lol

It currently has the 5.0.2 exchange. I saw no point in taking it out. I don't use it but I know it's far easier to remove system components like that than it is to implement them once an update is installed.
So far I see no real difference in Gmail. Mail seems to crash for me in 1.5 with something about a Plus account - looks like 5.0.2 mail stays. Maps and Market will be updated because I see no reason not to.
Any thoughts on Gmail? Anyone see any updates worth having?
Can you put the H build camera in the build instead of the 1.5.3 camera? The HTC camera was far superior than the google implementation. That's all I can think of so far

H camera crashed when using the camera button. The one I'm using is the one from the "add features to 5.0.xH" thread. Seems to be the most stable and all you really lose is zoom. Forgot to take out additional HTCAlbum, though. Planning to fix this and some other updates when I get back to my hideout. If I can remap the H camera button I will get that in there, but that takes a little longer than just swapping apks.

any chance you could add the launcher in from here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507244 Or does this now not have the problem when you slide out the keybord?

everything seems to work. not seeing the multi-touch...suppose to be there right. not a big deal, just testing out the version.
How is this going?
Still developing the build?
Looks great, and appears to fit me perfectly!
However, what is the difference between the two builds that you link to in your first post?
Is the 5.0.2hr5-twisted.zip the normal version, while the 5.0.2hr5a-twisted.zip is the Apps2SD version?

Sorry apps2sd is still coming. Having technical difficulties with getting both my G1 and computer to recognize the same partitions. The new version has the Andreoid keyboard included along with updates to youtube, maps, and market. The slider problem still exists for a day or two. Wanted to get the new market in place because I isolated the market download issue to have been cooperation between market and launcher. Now that the new market accepts downloads I can fix launcher. Expect updates tomorrow. I have a 4-hour block of boredom. Hehe.

Still isolating libs and such. JesusFreke redid the kernel so the program alone was not enough. Didn't think that far ahead when I was throwing parts together. I'm learning as I tear apart the 7 builds on my desktop. I just have to teach myself as I go.
Open source never meant well-documented.
Plans are in the works to go backwards from the HTC build, but like most others I need something to default back to when I'm not testing. Building this version was first priority with that being my next step. That is when the speed increases will occur with some new features. Can't say I'm not a dreamer, right?

[PORT][32A/32B][Old radio]ahmgsk's Eclair 2.1 - EXPERIMENTAL, working 3D (Mar 2nd)

For the last couple of days I've been trying to get Eclair 3D acceleration running on 32A with old radio. I was somehow succesful so I decided to release one Sense based ROM port and one "plain" Eclair. I had succes with other ROMs though (not all of them, but a few). Edit March 2nd - It now seems that it works on 32B/G1 as well, so I've added the porting package for those phones, see below.
This ROM is highly experimental! So bear that in mind. The only testing I've done is here on my own Magic - I am not using any ext3/ext4 partition for app2sd, for example, so I'm not sure how it behaves if you use one.
I've added a few things here and there that are essential to me like Market Enabler, More Locale 2, some ringtone and notification files and mixed in a few files from other Eclair ROMs to get a few things working. I've also changed the default analog clock (the Android widget, not HTC widget) to Pulse clock.
Thanks to:
ahmgsk (obviously), Kingclick, Cyanogen and all the other devs working on his kernel source, Amon_RA, all OpenEclair devs, polyrhytmic, dzo, vilord and many others.
What seems to work:
- 3D acceleration seems to work fine. I can get about 20fps in Neocore benchmark. I've also tested Radiant, Armadillo Roll and iDracula and they all seem to work. 3D Gallery works as well.
- Multitouch works
- Camera works, mostly - no video recording, though. If you take picture, it shows a garbled screen for a moment, but the picture itself is taken just fine.
- GPS and accelerometer work
- LED notifications work, all colors
- Bluetooth MIGHT work, needs testing. But you can enable it.
- Google Sync seems to work just fine
What seems not to work:
- YouTube and video playback in gallery doesn't work at all for now. Sorry.
Known Issues:
- Rather slow on startup. Give it time to start up fully, even after you see the home screen. You may even get a few "App not responding - FC/Wait?" warnings - just click on Wait and give it more time. But after it starts, it seems pretty fast to me. It's no SuperD, but still quite fast, I'd say.
- Live wallpapers are problematic and I'd recommend staying away from them. Some work (not very fast, though), some don't.
- Launcher 2 is problematic. I've kept it in the ROM and it certainly looks nice, but I've had all sorts of problems when I had it enabled, including long phone freezes, terrible lag in applications and other. I'd HIGHLY recommend just using the "normal" launcher (it's "Nexus style" anyway).
Note:
Take this port "as is" 'cause I probably won't support it much. I think of it more as a "proof of concept" that seemed too cool to me not to share it with others, but I don't have enough time to offer full support or work on it much these days. Maybe I'll release another version someday, maybe not. Sorry. I'm just being honest here.

I will check it inmediatly...
but this driver 3d not work on magic 32b??Why not come out yet for the ROM 32b?
It might, as I don't think the solution here is specific to 32A. I'll maybe try to make a 32B kernel soon and let someone test it. Right now, I've yet to hear about this working for someone else on 32A other than me
Im flashing it ATM.
Give me a few minutes
ok when you relase a 32b Kernel,Warn
Well, i flashed it.
You're right, 3D is working
I tried it with SpeedX and Hyper Space, and they both are working. Not as fast as it would on a donut based rom (looks like the frame rate is a little lower) but they are absolutely working.
Launcher2 is still a bit laggy.
Some Live Wallpapers aren't working, they forced the phone to restart.
The gallery is working.
There are some bugs (like pressing the home button while in an app, will sometimes block my phone) that forced me to remove the battery.
This rom is not working enough for a daily use, but you did a great job.
Waiting for a bug fix Imma try the hero port now
Good to know, thanks!
BTW, as I've mentioned in the first post, I don't recommend using Launcher 2, it causes all sorts of weird issues with this ROM. And I also mention that live wallpapers are problematic and you should just stay away from them
Oh, and as for the framerates in 3D - in my experience they're actually slightly higher on average than with my own SuperD port I'm now using as a day-to-day ROM (I miss Sense UI, but 1.5 is starting to lag behind on all the interesting stuff, so...).
Case_ thx for working on this
i could not work becoz my tester was on new radio
i hope u get my hero 2.1 working too
From what I gather, this is a KERNEL modification that makes the HERO drivers work with this "old radio", correct?
Could you please provide the kernel diff (patch)?
ahmgsk: You're welcome. I'm always somehow uneasy as to what the reaction of the original dev would be when I'm using and perhaps modifying someone else's work, so thanks for this
I'll try to follow the progress of most Eclair ROMs but I'm gonna be quite busy for at least the next week or so, so no promises on any other updates or more ports (but I'd LOVE to have a reliable Sense UI ROM with Android 1.6 or higher, I can tell you that - Kinglick's Eclair Hero is close, but still not close enough to rely on it on day-to-day basis). I'm glad I managed to at least steal the weekend for Android for once and got this working, more or less.
lbcoder: Actually, there's really not much to patch. I've spent countless hours trying to port parts of the Kaiser kernel as discussed in one of the G1 forum threads, yet in the end I've ended up using pretty much just the plain vanilla Cyanogen Eclair kernel sources with only the camera code backported from the Donut sources to get the camera working (but I can certainly provide some kind of diff if need be).
Then there's the permission problem with /dev/msm_hw3dc and /dev/msm_hw3dm that on most Eclair ROMs needs fixing (chmod 666 and chmod 660 in init.rc, respectively).
And then it might or might not be an issue with the contents of /system/lib/egl and /system/lib/hw (and perhaps some other libs as well) which, I'm sorry to say, I've yet to fully test. Those from ahmgsk's AME Eclair seem to work, but looks to me like it's not exclusively just those, that it might work with some others as well. I know it's not very professional (but I've said it many times, I'm no dev and certainly no coder, I'm just determined and persistent ), but I honestly didn't have time to test those different libraries fully, sorry. I was just trying to get something as usable as possible and share it with others so they may perhaps investigate further. Though it somehow amazes me that I of all people got it working when there's so many people with coding and Android knowledge WAY beyond my own here (which is not that hard to achieve, anyway)

Why? I remember in the original ahmgsk 's ROM they are working as well...
What has been changed from the old to the new Radio/SPL to break the YouTube/Gallery video playback?
As for the "why?", that's a very good question I'd really like to know the answer to.
As for "what has changed" - the kernel has changed (had to for the ROM to work with the old radio) and with it all the "drivers". I'm not happy that YouTube and video doesn't work, but I don't have much time to investigate further right now. And until now, neither did Eclair 3D acceleration with the old radio, so I guess it's still progress.
I'm sure someone will figure it out eventually.
Added links for 32B/G1 porting package. Yes, 3D really seems to work on those phones as well.
how do I apply the 32B patch?
just replace the files with the once from teh original zip file , repack it, and then apply the new zip?

yeah how do us g1 owners do this thang ...
?????????????????????????????????????????
I guess I figured it out,
download both zip files, apply zip one, then apply the 2nd one other the other.
replacing files wont work because of the files within the "META-INF" folder

[SUPER Fast][Phone.apk NO LAG]Holy Crap! Who's rom is this?! Hero2.1 (2.1 + SenseUI)

Edit 5/18/2010
FIRST PUBLIC BETA OF MY EDITS TO THIS ROM ARE OUT! CHECK THEM OUT HERE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6518000
Mods! Please close this thread! PLEASE do not post in this thread about my Beta! I don't need to be tracking 2 threads!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Browsing Google for new roms to check out, review and breakdown for my own learning pleasure, I stumbled across this hero rom of Android 2.1 with SenseUI.
http://www.4shared.com/file/163848444/8c7602ca/Hero_21.html
Tried to google search the archive name as well as the full 4shared link but couldn't find any articles about it anywhere. (If you know where its from let me know!)
Flashed it on my 32B Magic (MyTouch). This rom is INCREDIBLE. Booted up from flash to setup in less than 3 minutes, everything in setup ran smoothly and quickly (with one exception, I'll note below).
This is SO FAST, right off the bat, no SetCPU, no nothing, AND THE PHONE COMES UP INSTANTLY WHEN RECEIVING A CALL! No force closes so far, no non responding apps, NOTHING.
I've found 2 problems with the rom - Gmail setup can't seem to find a data connection (but the browser and IM clients do - weird? is this a CDMA rom? How do I check?) and the homescreen reboots anytime you hit the "Home" button - but it only takes a second or two to finish. I'm going to fly spare parts onto it and see if I can keep home in memory.
If anyone knows who's rom this is, let me know! Also, if it IS a CDMA rom, can someone port it to GSM? About Phone says this is the HTC Hero, but the Kernel says it is "Unavailable".
TRY THIS ROM, ITS AWESOME! If I can get gmail to work and the home app to stay in memory this will be my daily rom until CR brings his Slide rom out of beta and it runs this fast.
EDIT: Doing some testing, results of set 1
Comes with SU installed and working.
Text messages - working
Sense Widgets - working
Phone calls (in and outbound) - working and SUPER fast, there's NO lag!
NO CAMERA!
wifi - broken? says its unable to start
bluetooth - same as wifi
Gmail - broken? Can't get a data connection to gmail
Market - not working, because I can't get into gmail :-(
Browser - working, browsing the web as we speak
Keyboard - working (HTC_IME with no lag or weird ram-hack like problems.)
SetCPU (installed through adb) - installed and now this thing is just... I mean, there's no words for it. its fast. its really fast.
-----------------------------------------------
I'm working on building off of this rom - but I'm not copying and pasting in a ktichen, I'm actually working to rewrite code, replacing drivers, updating with a new kernel and above all else, making the apps work together. Right now I'm working to fix sync and make the prgram list actually display all the installed apps. This is tedious work, but Ill update you guys on my progress as it happens. I think this is a great rom to build off of because from the start, its super fast and as long as I keep speed in mind as I work on the rom, I think the end result will be a good one. If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them, both for fixes and modifications to this rom. I'm new to android development so I'm doing a hell of a lot of reading right now but I'm a 8 year programmer and do it for 9 hours a day, 5 days a week, so it's not like programming is new to me - just the android side of it. I'd like to thank Cyanogen fo his wealth of tutorials, repositories, and tips because most of the stuff I'm reading and learning was written by him.
Bugfix log for NEXT release (NOT THE CURRENT ONE!)
Facebook App and sync - fixed
Camera/Video
Wifi
Widgets (they don't all appear in the add widget list)
Google sync - Partially fixed... still working on it
App list not showing all installed apps - Working on it, still don't have any idea why its happening but I will find out if it kills me

[5/9/10] On the google sync issue - I originally thought it was a Hero caching problem, having found a ton of information of this happening on stock hero devices, but it turns out it wasn't. In the process of discovering this, I've also found out why the installed apps don't show in the Rosie app list. Its a bug with how this rom was built in SDK version 6, when the original Hero rom from HTC was build in 7, it was backported (not sure if I have the correct terminology there), breaking a few things. I'm going to recompile in 7, fix the system date format (which is also causing an error in the Google sync) and hopefully get sync working, then I can start looking at other minor bugs and optimization.
-----------------------------------------------
PS - somebody find out where this rom came from so I can give proper credit to the original developer(s)!!!
Edit: I'm told this is Drizzy's original Hero 2.1 (Thanks Chris!) with broken drivers. I'm going to try to contact Eugene to see what modifications he made and also check through online documentation to figure driver **** out. Props to Drizzy/Eugene - this build may be more or less broken (well, it was your first and you had plenty of updates to it since then) but damn, nice job on such a fast rom, its awesome even for alpha.
im a little scared to try it...so i wont zackattacks 2.1 1.1 hero is fast enough and stable enough for me right now.
Could you give us more information from where did you obtain it?

Yeah, I found reviews from this gamercore guy, but he doesn't say where he got it or who made it. He does rom reviews. You can find a bunch of his rom reviews on youtube - I doubt he makes them all, but I could be wrong.
He just review roms.. By the way this was uploaded last year must be 1.5 hero not 2.1 Old news
Wifi doesnt work

You're wrong. It was updated TODAY - and its 2.1 - I'm in it right now - firmware - 2.1

Could be - but I don't think so, this thing is old, uploaded last year, I can't get ZX's 2.1 hero to work and I haven't seen a ZX Team update on their 2.1 Sense threads on here or on androidspin, plus this one has a ton of extra features, like the animated browser progress bar from the original espresso rom.
seems interesting. can anyone confirm if this is 2.1 as OP suggusted or 1.5 as mediaman suggusted?
EDIT
just saw, OP just said this is 2.1 and updated today

[5/18/10][G1 & MT3G]HappyRom 0.5 BETA - The fastest 2.1 Sense Rom ever! Native LED!

[5/18/10][G1 & MT3G]HappyRom 0.5 BETA - The fastest 2.1 Sense Rom ever! Native LED!
http://www.twitter.com/DefectiveLove - I share this twitter with my wife - follow me!
What?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------​I've never understood why Sense roms always had to be SOOOO slow on my MT3G and have only gotten less reliable with Overclocking and JIT compiling; I was also really tired of the randomly *****y screen and keyboard - you know, where you're typing and it pauses for 10 seconds, then puts in a symbol instead of your letter? Or how about ****TY battery life and lag on incoming calls so bad I miss most of them and get nothing but voicemails. I want the features, but I've been using Donut roms instead because Sense has sucked. Till now.
Several weeks ago I found an old 2.1 Sense rom by Drizzy that f***in' flew like nobody's business, but everything was broken in it (see the original thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=677518 ). I've been working since then to fix everything that was broken, add new features and all the while, keep the speed of the original rom as my number one priority.
Well, I've been working on this non stop (as you can see from my myriad of posts in chef central) while learning android from the ground up. After nearly a month (I think) here's my first beta!
HappyRom v0.05 BETA by Aeltrius - This rom, all by itself, is faster than any JIT, OC'd Sense rom out there. Even on the G1 without touching setCPU - this is CONFIRMED!
- this rom is heavily based on work done by Drizzy and Eugene373.
Special thanks to Chiefz_Reloaded and Asuske/ts0cha0tik for lending a helping hand when I got pissed, being there to bounce ideas off of and testing out my private betas!
Additional thanks to Cyanogen for his detailed wiki's and King for all his work I've studied, as well as the developers of SetCPU, Spare Parts and the other apps I've included.
-------------------------
Requirements
G1
- Death SPL - MAY work on other SPL's - I haven't tested this on G1. It will probably work on Danger, too, but I won't guarantee that as I haven't had a chance to prove it
G1 & MT3G
- ext partition (you can use ext2/ext3/ext4 - your choice, ext2 has been the least tested, but it HAS worked)
- 96Mb Swap (128Mb Recommended!!!)
-------------------------
What works:
Wifi
Google Apps/G-Sync/Gmail/Google Talk/etc
Sense Widgets (except clock - check the bugs section)
Market
SMS/MMS
Email/Exchange
Music
Browser
SU
USB-Mounting
Youtube
Native LED support!!! - Still in very early stages but confirmed working on MT3G

Known Bugs
Video/Camera does not work right now - its my next thing to fix
Facebook sync half works - it sync's up, but doesn't link contacts
HTC Clock widget doesn't work
Photo Album does not work yet
Compcache does not work yet
HTC Setup Wizard MAY be touchey and weird on the G1. You can skip past it though, its not important - I need confirmation of this!!

Ummm.... well, I just about everything else should work, but this is a beta BECAUSE I need some additional testing done.
Installation Instructions for Newbies!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------​Don't get mad at me if you don't follow these!
1.) Make sure your SD card is properly formatted. My personal recommendation:
128Mb Swap
512 Mb ext(2|3|4)
2.) FULL WIPE!
3.) Flash the Zip and restart your phone
4.) Watch for the lockscreen. Once it appears, wait 2-3 minutes for the rom to settle. Skip through setup till you get to the Home screen "Loading..."
- During and after setup, you may get a message "calendar storage is not responding" a few times - just hit "wait". This goes away once you set up your Gmail Account.
5.) Wait for the Home Screen to load up, then give it a minute or 2. Open programs and hit your Market. Log into your Gmail here.
6.) Wait till your email is downloaded - phone will be slow for about 30-45 seconds until Gmail is synced up. Done
Once you give this thing a couple minutes to settle, its SUPER ****in fast.
-------------------------
EXTRA INSTRUCTIONS
NOW - this thing should be fast enough all by itself with no additional mods (hard to believe, but I'm serious) or tweaks but it has so far only been tested on the MT3G, so G1 users or needy MT3G users, I've included SetCPU in here so you can max out your CPU if you want it to be even faster. I've also added spare parts if you want to speed up window animations and such.
The first time you bring up the dialer it might be really slow, but after that it won't be.
Download
---------------------------------------------------------------------------​I am NOT responsible if you mess up or your phone by using my rom!
This is still in BETA!!!!
http://www.4shared.com/file/Djj-RFO2/HappyRom05b.html
READ THIS, DUMMY!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------​If you find a bug, I'd love to hear about it so I can fix it, but there's the thing.
If you tell me
"Some things don't work, fix them and I'll come back."
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I can't track that, there' no way for me to know what the problem is! Tell me which app had a problem, what you were doing when it did, and if you're feeling generous, throw me a logcat while you're at it .
Finally, if you want me to be able to properly track and fix bugs - please,
keep this thread on topic
Native LED???
---------------------------------------------------------------------------​
For everyone who's wondering, as of page 2 of this thread, Native LED support has been *mostly* removed from my rom. A lot of people put a lot of time and effort into developing these custom roms for the community and they need to get credit for the work they've done. When a "signer" or Developer alike KNOWINGLY uses anyone else's code and purposefully claims it is their own without giving proper credit, I personally believe they don't deserve the end result of all that hard work.
I came into android only a few simple months ago, and only started digging into the code within the past month. I've read a lot, spent hours a day in front of my computer coding, flashing updates, testing and losing sleep to help develop a rom that people can use - a choice in a myriad of roms available. I have learned a lot and will continue to learn as I still consider myself an android "newbie". In this last month I've been promoted at work and have new responsibilities, lost my house because my landlord wasn't taking my monthly lease and paying the mortgage with it, found out that my wife has a rare disease called PCOD which will prevent us from having any more children and been temporarily institutionalized for trying to kill myself via alcohol poisoning. In all of this, I've continued to try to work for the community. I know other developers have gone through the same things, and more. These people put their lives on hold to help the community and they deserve recognition and respect.
I couldn't completely remove LED support since it exists in too many places throughout the rom, so there is a code base for any new developers to build off of, but right now it is not and will not be fully functioning.
Call me selfish, I think of myself as a credit to shunned developers everywhere. Until Zachattack stops begging on his twitter for his friends to spam and flame my thread, stops botting forums to advertise his roms in everyone else's threads and until he openly and publicly admits to all the developers he's ripped off, I will not release my native LED support. Not in my own roms or in anyone else's.
I will be available for discussion to developers who are interested. That is all.
Changelog:
Current To-Do:
Port MyTouch Slide Widgets to replace Hero widgets (nearly done!!!)
Fix Facebook contact link
Fix Photo Album app
Customize some of the bland black/white/silver HTC themed "stuffs"

On my MT3G I've clocked this at 2 (SOMETIMES 3) rings for call lag, way better than 5-6 on other Sense roms. I'm still trying to make it faster. The problem with call lag seems to be related to broken bluetooth. If I either fix bluetooth or remove Bluetooth calls from the phone app I should be able to completely end Sense call lag

Test it out for yourself. I didn't like ZX's hero 2.1, it was laggy for me. Not all at once, but randomly it would take 10-15 seconds to recognize a touch.
Just check them both out and use whichever one works best for you.
