I successfully got Cyanogen's 2.6.29-cm [email protected]) kernel up and running on Hero.
Link http://www.demarcatedmedia.com/rom/jacHEROski_Experimental.zip
This is a very, very experimental build (I rough cut the new boot.img). Please, anyone who volunteers to experiment please have DDMS up and running so you can send me logs.
As you can see from the pictures, I loaded Drizzy's optimized apps and framework because I had never seen the Ophone graphics and wanted to see what they are all about. If drizzy doesn't mind I'll drop the graphics but keep the optimized apps
Preqs:
New SPL
New Radio
Recommended:
FAT32
EXT3
linux-swap (32 MB)
Cyanogen Recovery 1.3 or greater.
Old Features:
linux-swap supprt
optimized rosie
New Features:
Kernel From Cyanogen
optimized widgets courtesy of Drizzy
Ophone Graphics (maybe)
appstosd from Nismo
TO DO / Known Issues
Change default boot config (let's widgets etc on first boot)
IF GOD LOVED ME HE WOULD LET ME FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO FOUR HOMESCREENS
other little surprises
1) wifi won't start
2) gps still a no go
--------------------------------- THE OLD ROM DOWNLOAD LINK AND INFO BELOW ------------------------------
ALL OF THE THANKS GO to JAC, Denkai, coolbho3000 and everyone else who makes this possible.
This is a slightly modified JACHero2.3.3 release.
This ROM is for those who prefer a 3rd linux-swap partition. The modified a2sd.sh will start swap on every boot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531988).
THREE PARTITIONS
FAT32
EXT2 OR EXT3
linux-swap
Included in this ROM is the Super Optimized Rosie from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532822
Next up, 4 Home screens on Rosie for the win! <---- probably should have been more specific, I'm working on this (it's more difficult than I anticipated)
Enjoy your ROMen noodles!
http://demarcatedmedia.com/rom/jacHEROski2.zip <----- slightly smaller Rosie, still working on fewer Home Screens
The file should be roughly 79.43MB - I used MEGAUPLOAD so who knows.
Please Note: This is my FIRST ROM, so use at your own risk. It does, however, work flawlessly on mine.
As always, I would recommend freshly formatting you sd card (at least the ext3 and linux-swap partitions) and wiping data before applying.
Awesome! Been looking for something like this. Gratz on your first ROM and props to everyone who made this possible. Downloading right now
could you plzzz upload to other site coz megaupload is not available in my area...
Question. If I am using a ext2, do I still need to do the 3rd? If so, how do I do that? Can I use partition manager?
would be cool if we could choose how many home screens it had.

Yea, I don't know I haven't tested it on two partitions. This ROM is mainly for those who have three partitions set up on their SD card.
FAT32
EXT3 or EXT2
linux-swap
The best part is you don't have to worry about your SD card getting corrupted when you mount.
You can use whatever to partition your SD card so long as it partitions it!

the linux-swap partition should be 32MB
swappiness is set at 20
you can edit the "echo 20 >" command in the a2sd.sh to change the swappiness.

unpack the udpate.zip on your computer and go to /system/bin/a2sd.sh and post the contents here so I can see what it says.
These are entirely unchanged from the ROMs on the thread over in Dream land below (apart from one small fix for Exchange in version 1.0)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534479
These are JAC and Drizzy's ROMs, not mine - all I've done is unpack the ROM, change one file in boot.img to make it work on a Magic, and then repack it all and sign it. So we'll forego the sigfile saying "if you like my work please buy me a Ferrari". However, this whole thing is a bit of a faffy operation and not something that's simple to set up (although is easy enough once you have everything you need in place) so I thought I'd share and save others the grief rather than hogging all the fun for myself.
These have come about because I wanted a Hero ROM, but wasn't entirely satisfied with the best one available for the Magic (Qtek's, IMO). It worked well, but the swap version dropped SMS messages sometimes, and the Compcache version was buggy, sluggish, and wifi didn't work.
JACxHERO seems to have a number of the same issues that Qtek has - dropped SMS messages (it seems that the lack of memory on the device causes the SMS/MMS process to die), and the Compcache version has broken Wifi. I said earlier on that I thought this version was oddly sluggish, but after setting up Compcache with backing swap I am loving it. By far the best Hero ROM on my own setup so far. No Wifi is a drag but I can live with it for now.
JACHeroSki 2.7.4.r2 in contrast is an older build, and one suspects they're using an older kernel; it has a working Compcache setup, but no conventional swap at all, and no multitouch. A good call if you have a slow SD card, can live without multitouch, and positively have to have wifi.
Bottom line as I see it:
Fast SD card? Use JACxHero v1.2. But you might lose SMSes (that said, no-one's reported any yet - I just worry about lack of memory issues)
Slow SD card but need wifi, and can live without multitouch? Use JacHeroSki 2.7.4 r2.
Slow SD card and want multitouch, or you insist on Compcache for other reasons, and not interested in wifi? Use JACxHero v1.0.
I personally am running 1.0 and after not being keen initially, it is growing on me and turning into a keeper. I only ever use wifi when at home and can do without it there, so it's not a problem for me.
----
JACxHero Version 1.2 - seems fast, but no Compcache
http://www.4shared.com/file/123726235/aa3ee695/jacxhero12-pn-magic.html
JACxHero Version 1.0 - Compcache, WiFi doesn't work properly. Works well if you enable backing swap and up the swappiness. See my user.conf on page 3 of the thread.
http://www.4shared.com/file/123729537/191c816a/jacxhero10-pn-magic.html
http://www.4shared.com/file/123821706/7250ac6b/jacxhero10-exfix.html (version with Exchange fix - I haven't tested this but it should be fine)
(version 1.1 didn't seem to be enormously different than 1.2; I did try it and have a working .zip but don't see much point uploading it)
JACHeroSki v2.7.4r3 - Compcache works by default, as does wifi. Note, though, there's no multitouch in the browser, which is a bit fail.
http://www.4shared.com/file/123798395/c61c220a/jacheroski274r2-pn-magic.html
NOTE THAT ALL OF THESE NEED THE USUAL THREE PARTITIONED SD CARD! i.e. fat32/ext2/swap
why have the v1.2 no compcache?
eljuego
As a note remember that JACxHero Roms dont have Compcache enabled by default.
The first post in the Dream Forum JacxHero thread tells you how to enable it - you need to edit the user.conf file, which i think is in /system/bin, can't remember right now.
It tells you which settings to change to get each combination of linux-swap and compcache
(BTW I know as it's working for me...)
Is it for 32A or 32B?
The rom for 32a or 32b ?

No idea mate. I suspect it was because of the issues with WiFi that they removed it until they could fix it.
One oddity I've noticed - the weather widget doesn't work. i select London as a city, it has a bit of a churn saying "loading weather", and no weather ever turns up. Clicking into the weather app workable fine.
Snap judgement - it's not as fast as Qtek's Rom. Just feels a bit "off". Maybe it's just me.
Loccy, the widget are buggy you sure you have ported the version 1.2 not the version 1.1 ? In version 1.2 the widget are fixed
edit : The widget have no border, but the rom is really fast probably the fastest rom i have tested !!!!

Am pretty sure I called 1.2 the right filename but I was drowning in roms by the end so it is possible I got them mixed up. Can't check until I get home now though.
Either way I'm not too impressed - more bugs than Qtek and it is eating battery (although I have been hammerring the phone more or less constantly over the few hours I've been out). I think when I get home I'm going to build the final JacHeroski Rom and see how that goes, I believe that has Compcache running.
Dazcox, how are you finding this Rom? You've been running it longer than me.
Actually I've been using QTek today... but about to install this one will let you know

Really? It's not a patch on Qtek for me. How fast's your SD card?
Am just downloading the final release of JacHeroSki - v2.7.4r2 - and will give that a try. I wonder if some of these new releases are a little too bleeding edge to be useful. If a worthwhile update.zip for the 32B emerges I'll post it here.

Ah. I have the stock 2Gb Vodafone pile of ****e (plus an "8Gb class 6" that I bought from ebay that causes a reboot loop on my Magic ). That'd probably be the problem for me.
Right chaps, here's another one for you. This is JacHeroSki version 2.7.4 r2. Someone else here has done JacHeroSki previously*, but I don't think they ever updated to the final release. It's a little behind the curve in that JAC seems to have gone on to work with Dizzy, and in a different direction, and it won't see any more development. It has working Compcache, but lacks the fancy config scripts of later builds. If you want to play with your Compcache settings, you need to edit the a2sd script in /system/bin. No conventional swap or facility for one. I'd say this is pretty much where Qtek was trying to go with his Compcache ROM though:
http://www.4shared.com/file/123729537/191c816a/jacxhero10-pn-magic.html
Am not sure I'm going to stick with this, however. I've just seen in the thread on the Dream forum that you can get Compcache working in JacXHero 1.2 by nabbing the boot.img from 1.0, so I'll give that a go too. What I'd really like is a working ROM with Compcache and swap as a backup.
edit: * speak of the devil, it's just turned up on the front page of the threads, they did do the final release, but it was for 32A not 32B. Oh, and am very disappointed to find no multitouch in the browser.

Honest answer? I don't know. I got a couple of text earlier when running JACxHERO 1.2, and I was hammering the browser at the time (if icanhascheezburger.com isn't going to run you out of available memory, I don't know what is). But I think a definitive answer will have to come from people who text more than I. Unfortunately texts seem to be an issue on all Hero ROMs on the G1 and the Magic 32B, because of memory - hence why my goal is to get a build with as much "memory" as possible, even if most of it is swap and compcache sleight of hand.

Which one? I found I had to completely clean off my ext2 partition before it'd run (coming from the Qtek ROM). Well, actually what I did was go into the recovery console and shift everything the Qtek had left in ext2 into another directory so that this ROM didn't get confused by it

If you were coming from Qtek's Rom, like I did, It does boot loop unless you clean your ext partition first, then wipe and reinstall the rom. It runs like a champ.
to erase the ext: boot into recovery
then from adb shell : run
mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
rm -rf /system/sd/*
then do whats stated above and no boot loop anymore.
PS: Loccy thx for the port.

De nada. All I did was just change a few files.
I'm done for the night now people. I did try to get 1.2 running with 1.0's boot.img, but ended up with a ROM that had no working wifi and no apparent Compcache. I figured that wasn't any better than 1.0 proper (which I'm going to give another crack and see if I can tidy up the Compcache settings to my satisfaction - I can live without wifi for now).
If my title really needs a slogan to get your attention, then I just didn't make a big enough impression last time

Sapphire Fixes: http://twistedumbrella.slackdev.com/Deport-1.1.zip
Removed Apps: http://twistedumbrella.slackdev.com/Extended.zip
Extended Apps: http://twistedumbrella.slackdev.com/Incremental.zip
Back your apps up as an update in case you do a wipe using this:
Download Incremental.zip above. Back all the apps up you want.
Open the archive and replace the apps in the data/app directory.
Sign the archive like a regular update and place in root of SD card.
Flash the update you want. When finished, flash Incremental.zip
Reboot the phone and both the update and apps will be installed.
User.conf file can be found as system/bin/hero.conf on any device.
No command needed for device identification. Faster boot (hopefully).
A reboot is no longer needed to use either device. This is all integrated.
Recommended not to overclock below 256, due to the black screen issue.
Compcache is enabled by default, current values were EXTENSIVELY tested.
Please do not contact me asking what values work or giving me others.
I spent 2 weeks changing values, testing, changing, testing. Both devices.
Abreviated Changelog, Full Changelog linked below:
Optimized the entire system app folder using the automated method.
Changed some animations. A lot of new stuff in use from Cyanogen.
This is a very unthemed build. The lock screen and such are generic.
The boot animation is customized and will not port to other builds.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4758619&postcount=960
So much to do so little time, I do feel like the "white rabbit"
Now includes dynamic swap. Rewrote the method of apps to sd for myTouch.
Build will move system apps, user apps, and dalvik to sd on a g1 device.
Build will install completely internal if using the T-Mobile myTouch.
This is a completely new method of doing a merge build so bear with me.
Based on the System Image from Haykuro
Using the Kernel and modules from JacSki
Try rm system/sd/app_s if you feel new apps are not installing.

All the necessary files can be found there, including my GScripts.
This is also where all the download links to NEW versions are posted
Housekeeping:
Back everything up. This means run some sort of data backup if you want to keep your settings
You may also want to run a nandroid backup in recovery (if all else fails, you can restore it)
Warnings:
You MUST have the newest SPL
You MUST have a Class 6 SD Card
You MUST know how to read
You MUST have 3 partitions
You MUST have at least 256MB EXT
You MUST have Recovery1.4 or above

He most likely got the idea on his own. I just think since ZeroXd didn't get any real response he didn't notice it had LED support about a week before the 1.3 refresh was even posted. Ask the kids on twitter about back when I came up with the looney idea and how it killed auto-rotate. I threw in an old version of the codes before someone asked if I had seen the thread. I was still using ones ported from my GScript from months ago. Haha, whatever makes a better build. I'm glad to see both Drizzy and JAC getting SOME use out of something I had a part in. Hell, Shafty figured out the commands, I just got lucky figuring out where to place them.
wow, this is kinda when jac and drizzy was working together and it seemed like jac took all the credit in the built. well thats good we still got devs that supprt each other and not use ones idea and run away with it.

Im running it, it seems to run very nice its real smooth think this might be my main rom, Nice work mate.

First A big thanks to Haykuro for providing the system dump of the latest known Hero build. Great contributions from Haykuro always!!! Make sure to thank him!!!
This ROM is based off the latest "HTC" ROM leak 2.83.x.x with tons of mods enjoy!!
This is the same as the build posted in the dream section,we just wanted to keep the two threads clean so all MT3G/Sapphire Q: and problems should be posted here. As of now it works only on 32B but 32A kernal is being worked on so will be coming soon give ccyrowski time he is working hard for us.
NOTE: Once you flash before you sign in do the led fix in the instructions,also we recommend using ext3 and a 64MB Linux-swap partition.

-BFS 240
-supports MyTouch out of the box!
-MT
-various ramconsole and usb patches
-other things I can't think of
B
-same as A with the 10MB RAM hack (10 extra MB of RAM)
-other things I can't think of
Install Instructions​
First using adb I remove the ext3 and linux swap if you have them set already like this, remember the numbers will vary with the size of you card but I will show mine as an example.
In Recovery
This Removes the partitions
adb shell
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
rm 2
rm 3
This makes the partitions ext2 and linux-swap 64MB remember numbers vary according to the size of your S.D if your not sure ask first.
mkpartfs primary ext2 3767 3901
mkpartfs primary linux-swap 3901 3965
This upgrades the ext2 to ext3
quit
upgrade_fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Now with the build on your S.D
Wipe
Flash the build A or B
Now once the build loads up you may get a FC on HeroLED.apk which there is a fix that I know of for MyTouch but cant be done because the sapphire folder is not in the build and not needed the HeroLED.apk is not needed since they work without it.
Phone on as normal
Fixing the HeroLED.apk
Fix the FC on HeroLED.apk and also get your phone to read as a Magic/MT3G.
Terminal
su
rwsystem
magic
reboot

This is how I install my builds and have it running as smooth as I do if your not sure you can do all this don't try. I do it and my phone runs sweet, but I will not take blame for people messing up there phones because they don't know what there doing.

Good **** thanks manup. Will you be adding BFS-300 to this tonight?
Omg...cant wait for 32a version ....STILL !!!!!
rebooting with new remix rom
I am getting frequent reboots ( about every 30 minutes) and also am getting a force close due to leds any ideas?
oops
I found the fix for the led force close. any idea on the rebooting?
Well the rebooting I have not seen on these ROMS really I would reflash again and let me know if still keeps happening,also are you using the remix or what version?
@jabbawalkee
I will maybe drop tonight not sure its up to cc but the BFS-300 will have the 10MB hack for MT3G/Magic for those who dont know that. I know you do but some are waiting so I tossed that info in there.
@Daneshm90
I know bro I am working on getting that for you hopefully today but cc is a bit under the weather so we will see.

Thanks man. I have 300, but wasn't working too well when I flashed it as an update over A...may try deleting/recreating my partitions and re-trying it.
Not sure bro I have been using it since yesterday on a fresh fromat and install and its been really good for me so yeah I would def give a fresh format and install.

Great work.
After seeing that Tweet from last night. I'm glad to see this up-and-running this afternoon.
About time the "official" build finds a home in the Sapphire Development Section.
Oh, and thanks for the hard work put in last night. I was working like a dog, testing for CC last night on that BFS-300 patch. Lol.
(not that it was "hard" work or anything.)
Glad to see you in this section though.
No prob I will be around in both sectitions because I have both G1 and the MT3G,I wanted it to not be so mixed in the dream thread people seemed to get confused there will be a update either today or tommarrow that will be real nice.
I am helping as much as I can but cc is killing it with all his new work and mods mike's user.conf is also amazing.

Take your time tonight.
You might as well drop tomorrow, just give everything a chance to settle today.
People are hyped enough on the BFS-300 high. Lol. No need to cause a global overdose.
I'm eager to see this user.conf you speak of. Some sweet-ass options within I hope! As for the G1 and MyTouch, same here. But, I have three MT3G devices. (employee of; you guessed it.) Anyway, if you need a tester later tonight or whatev.
TWEET ME!
US MT3G w/2.2a problems
First, I have an 8GB SD card, with the standard partition sizes (7GB FAT32, 32MB Linux-Swap, and the rest Ext3)
I am using Cyanogen 1.4, and I did a wipe, and check of my ext before updating. The SD card was empty on all partitions, except the 2.2a named as update.zip
First thing I saw on startup (and every startup) is the LED notify crash, but more serious is the phone being stuck in headset mode. Tried rebooting, plugging in charger, plugging in actual headset, but it was just stuck on.
I ended up flashing back to my stock tmobile 1.5 firmware until it's more stable.
My knowledge of this device is a bit limited at this point. I know I am running the latest radio, but I am not clear on what SPL is (or ADP for that matter).
Can anyone help fill in the blanks or tell me what I am doing wrong?

I said in the first post that swap is better at 64MB and there is instructions in the first post that talks all about the FC on HeroLED all you need to do is hit o.k and follow the steps posted. Also coming from another wipe a format of the ext3 should have been done read the first post.
Does everyone have the auto-backlight option?
Same issues...

Thanks for pointing that out, I now see the instructions that I did not notice before.
I used Ubuntu to delete my partitions, and re-do them with the sizes stated in the instructions, so the partitions are clean. I then copied the update.zip (22a) to the card, and put it in the phone. Started Cyanogen, wiped, repaired ext partition, and installed the update.zip
I still have the headset indicator stuck on.
Went into terminal, but could not get a keyboard to come up. I used "better terminal emulator" instead, which should work. I followed the steps, but when I got to "magic", it came back with "rm failed for system/bin/sapphire, no such file or directory"
I still have the LED FC at startup, and am still stuck in headset mode.
Any ideas?

Progress update and INT2SD implementation request form!
With holidays starting, and more free time on my hands, I've decided to revive this project. Having my hard drive fail on me recently, and losing the request log, it has become obvious that I need a new system of handling requests, and it is here. If you have requested a ROM before, please send a request again, via this form.
Please submit all further requests via this form!

This is the INT2SD thread for Sense ROMs and their developers and users.
INT2SD thread for AOSP ROMs
What is INT2SD?
INT2SD doesn't use symlinks. It mounts ext partition on your SD to /data, thus eliminating the need for the mtd5 userdata partition. This makes the mtd5 userdata partition unneeded. It is used in conjunction with the fatsys HBOOT (more info later on), allowing most of the vital parts of a ROM to stay on the system partition without the need to symlink half of it to the SD due to memory shortage.
For now, there is only one ROM here, but more will come! If you wish to see INT2SD in your favorite ROM or in your own ROM, please post here!
INT2SD-S - "Speed" (default as of 29th Jun)
Main characteristics:
/data on SD ext, /data/data on internal
/data/data limited to 280 MB (probably enough for more than 100 user apps)
noticeably faster on slower cards
for use with CM7r2 HBOOT
Description:
The new "speed" flavour mounts ext to /data and userdata to /data/data, achieving great speed while still retaining excellent storage capabilities. It's used with the CM7r2 HBOOT. This is now the default flavour, offering great speed while still being able to hold a hefty amount of apps.
INT2SD-M - "Mass" (discontinued)
Main characteristics:
/data on SD ext
number of apps is only limited by ext size
requires a faster card
for use with fatsys HBOOT
Description:
The classic "mass" flavour mounts ext to /data, thus eliminating the need for the mtd5 userdata partition. It has proven to be slow even on some of the faster cards. Due to INT2SD-S being able to hold a very high number of applications, and still being much faster, this flavour is discontinued.
FAQ
For users: How to get this in your favorite ROM
For ROM developers: How to get this implemented in your ROM
Please fill out this form.
Cross-device implementations
For now, no. You may submit requests, but I won't be able to fulfill them for a while. I have quite a lot of real life work on my plate, not to mention a list of Desire ROMs I have to tend to. After that's done, I'll be happy to try blind-porting it to whichever device you wish, but my priority are Desire ROMs, primarily because it's a lot easier to implement INT2SD into ROMs for a phone I already have.
Universal update zips
Also, no. Each ROM is different, and due to the nature of INT2SD, it is simply not possible to make a one-for-all universal update zip. Every ROM requires tending to its peculiarities, especially Sense ROMs, and I would rather not take the change of trying to make one and end up with a flashable bootloop zip.
Why don't you just publish instructions on how to implement INT2SD for devs to use?
Proz0r said:
You can take a look at the modified ROM and you will find 3 new files in /system/etc, dalchk, fsck and sleep. These files are executed by init.rc because of my modifications to it. You can also decompile the boot.img and use a tool such as diff or diffuse (a GUI for diff) and check the differences between it and the unmodified init.rc from Alex's standard, D2EXT ROM. However, his ROM required another init.d script to move weather animations to /data, and modifications to the updater-script to flash everything that would normally be flashed to /data, to be flashed to /sd-ext. Sounds simple enough, right? Well, it's actually not quite as simple. When I have first implemented INT2SD to CyanogenMod 7, all I had to do was edit a few lines and add those three scripts. There was not a single ROM (and there are a few unreleased ones which I've worked on) to which I could apply a "standard" procedure. Each ROM required further modifications on its own and being the one who devised INT2SD, I know what I should look out for in order to avoid catastrophical bugs. ROM developers do not. This is why I do NOT offer support for "homemade" INT2SD implementations. Every ROM has its own peculiarities that need tending to and INT2SD implementations need to be very flexible to allow the ROM to work in conjunction with it. Sure, everything could go great, but INT2SD is extremely easy to implement horribly wrong and have huge bugs and even unbootable systems, and without knowing what the dev did to put it in their ROM, it is next to impossible for me to troubleshoot and fix. It would probably end up with me having to implement it myself either way in most cases and having angry developers and possibly users on my hands being pissed at me for doing a bad job and releasing a ****ty product, when the problem was just a typo in init.rc. That's why I have not nor will I release instructions for devs on how to implement it themselves.

Before you download!
Although it is for the best part bug free, INT2SD is still a fairly fresh project so I'm looking for as much input as I can get to fix possible bugs I haven't yet uncovered. If you try a ROM featuring INT2SD, please be sure to comment in this thread on your experience, even if it works great or doesn't work at all. If you wish to further support the project, there is a donate button in my signature. Although a nice sign of support and appreciation, donations are not obligatory!
Due to /data/data being on the SD, a high-class card is recommended.
Another thing is the HBOOT, fatsys. You must flash it before flashing any of the INT2SD Sense ROMs.

MD5: 4d6b2e74c241361237df047bfed5ff08
INT2SD Sense ROMs require a special HBOOT, fatsys. This special HBOOT has 427 MB dedicated for /system, 5 MB for /cache and 5 MB for /data and there is probably no ROM without INT2SD that would work on it properly. It was made so that the largest part of Desire's internal memory can be used for quick access to vital system files by storing them in /system instead of symlinking them to /sd-ext, therefore slowing the entire system down. There is still plenty of space for your apps if you make a large enough SD ext partition, since SD ext gets mounted to /data and the real, 5 MB mtd5 userdata partition goes unused. So, /data on SD ext, huge /system and no symlinks! Before flashing a Sense INT2SD ROM, make sure you have flashed the fatsys HBOOT!

I'm not a dev at all, but I think this tool can help you: a too for making coustoms hboot by _thalamus
http://thalamus-hacking.blogspot.com/2011/07/custom-hbootsupdate.html
I have been using for months without any problem
Well, if you manage to learn how to reverse engineer and manipulate hboot, do share.. You might want to ask thalamus. I read that he'd done it.
Edit: Ah blackhawk_LA has already posted that.
@blackhawk_LA, is there an open source version of this tool?

@blackhawk_LA
Have you ever had any issues with the application? It's making a very important part of the system and if any errors would occur, it would be a catastrophe, which is why I am a bit apprehensive towards this program.
Make HBOOTS with it which have the same sizes as the HBOOTs from Alpharev, compare MD5, if they match, it's probably safe. Then you should be good to go to make a custom HBOOT with it
Never had any issue, I have used it very carefully to make at least 10 different custom hboots, and my phone is still alive
More statistics are needed to say it's completely safe but I think thalamus did a perfect job
I can say the program is very safe... have a dozen of custom hboots with it... no problem at all.
And looking forward to your INT2SD for sense..
here you go..

Nice. Should real data be reduced to 5 MB or be left at 40 MB then, in INT2SD? Since it won't be needed for symlinks with it, I only see the point in having the 5 MB for the fsck log.
Word of advice.. Before flashing new hboot, use the alpharev downgrader. Otherwise you're screwed if the hboot turns out to be a corrupt file
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
Thanks man, could you briefly describe what would happen if I would flash a corrupted HBOOT with and without flashing the downgrader prior?

Well, AFAIK the HBOOT is also the white screen you get when you press Vol Down+Power, and it probably also involves the bootprocess normally, so I would say: broken HBOOT = a very nice brick.
Though I don't know what the downgrader is..
Yup, I know about that, I'm wondering about the downgrader too.

I'm always use the hboot-downgrade whenever I change hboot no matter whether the previous hboot is a lock hboot or an unlock hboot. It is always best to unlock the hboot before flashing a new one to be on a safe side.
Here is hboot with 427mb/system, 5mb/cache & 5mb/data as you mentioned here
Proz0r said:
Now, we need a volunteer to make the said zero-data HBOOT for 5 MB for /cache, 5 MB for /data and the rest for /system.
Click to expand...

I tested the hboot by flashing it to my phone.. no problem to go to recovery, no problem to boot to bootloader. but I don't have any ROM which can fit a 5mb data partition to test. The lowest I ever go is 30mb/data.
Note: to change to another hboot.. use the hboot_downgrade first as this is a lock hboot.
Edit : Manage to squeeze the ROM to fit a 5mb/data ... so confirm the hboot works.
