Okay, I made a post a while back that got trashed about my own Hero ROM I was going to try and make, I've got my permissions from those I need (I believe, if i step on your feet, sorry! let me know). This is an attempt to make a ROM with "HTC Sense" aka Rosie, and still be as fast as the Original ROMs on the G1. I won't even make the hope I can get it as fast as Cyanogens, but using his ideas, we may with a little luck! This thread is being made to keep track of what is done to the Alpha phase (unreleased) of this ROM up to it's Open Beta Release client, which I expect around 0.7. There will be no Closed Beta's. "Final" versions will be Stable, other wise it will be a beta/RC.
Requirements:
* 2.22.19.26I Radio
* Haykuro's SPL
* 3 partition class 6 SD card (FAT32,EXT3/4,linux-swap in this order. May goto 4 partitions and skip the second one so users can boot multiple ROMS with just a flash.) Swap no larger then 32MB, suggest 16-24MB
****DISCLAIMER****
This is an attempt to bring the latest and greatest of android to a reasonable level, however just like others, this build is HIGHLY experimental, I'm not responsible if it breaks your system, causes unwanted performance, or lets out the leprechauns you put in that shoe box under your bed. Do yourself a favor and don't flash this if you have only 1 phone for right now. I'm no Haykuro or Cyanogen, so bear with me please.
Alpha Stage:
*****READ ME*****
Note That I have been restructuring this build alot to run more like Cyanogens but still keeping the Hero framework. if you do test this build, it most likely won't boot up completely, I'm not holding my breathe, but I've stopped for today and figured I'd let anyone who wanted to see, what I've done. The file is signed if you wish to run the alpha test and see how it works. if you do, do me a favor and copy down the logcat at *first* boot via adb for me, and post it at pastebin.com. Also, I believe I may have incorporated busybox without realizing it. test it and see if I did, if I did, great, one less thing to do, if I didn't let me know.
Oh, and if you have an ext2/3/4 you don't want screwed with, remove your SD card before you boot it.
DHR 0.2.0 Things done
* Using NK02 + Fat4lity's 1.1 as a base and working from there
* Auto-Swap with Swappiness @ 30 with 3rd partition linux-swap
* Ramdisk to mount partitions with noatime/nodiratime
* Symlinks and bind mounts enabled by default for APPS2SD
* EXT3, possibly EXT4 for APPS2SD
* Fix_Permissions Script from Cyanogen
* Cleaned up boot script
* Cleaned up extra files
* Removed Launcher.apk
* APP2SD
Left to do:
* Clean up Debug at boot
* Cyanogens Optimized 2.6.29 kernel
* Haykuro's APN list
* Latest HTC_IME with drawing pad
* Add script to separate internal mem from sdcard EXT3/4
* SU Binaires and apps
* Busybox
* Update ROM name
Attempt to do:
* if I can get rid of binds in dexopt I will odex application files, allowing for faster boot.
* Check for anything from master that may incorporate faster performance i.e. Davlik Patches.

can recieve the link for beta testing
All day im waiting for fixs updates,and i get some more dreams i want the hero working i have a dream lol....hope this stuff works and a link will be provided.
This will make a big mess of things around here i'm sure,but still in all good work if you can fix what needs to be fixed. Really you should have held back till there was a link atleast this will be filled in two days.
Best of luck bro.
Ill beta test PM me if youre interested.
Got all the essentials and know how.
i fully expect this to be ignored, I need a place to put all my ideas, wants and desires for the ROM, and to help me remember what I have done and still need to do. I don't have a blog and don't care for one, and plus this will allow for communication to a community that has an intrest, thus allowing me to get last minute ideas in place.
what are the bugs in this rom? do u know.
i definately wanna try this 1 out 2

ill beta test too....
I am willing to help, I do bug writing at work so this stuff is second nature.
I have no technical skills...I can't read or write code...but I am a fearless flasher (hah) and am more than willing to test this out.
i wouldnt mind beta testing
got a class 6 16gb and know adb pretty well
and i know my way around the g1 pretty well now and a little linux too
i would definitelly be interested in testing, especially with the auto swap on 3rd partition
Awesome! Let me know if you need more testers. Good luck!
cool shoot it my way i will try it also
Anyone able to find that new HTC_IME that came out last month? (JUNE) can't find it again and I lost my old copy.
I'm up for testing as well. This is sorely needed, as all the other implementations of Hero are just way too slow to be useful. Plus, I need stuff to do since cyanogen has taken over the appstosd scene(he seems to know what he's doing a bit better than I do) and all attempts to improve my appstosd2 app(tried to make it have the sdsplit script built in but it seems android has a max size for assets...) have ended in failure. *Sigh* need to come up with a new useful hack...
I'll give it a test
Second version of alpha release is up. I didn't post the first one. READ the first post before downloading.
Recommended sizes for the 3 partitions?
Thinking on my 16GB - 15GB/500MB/100MB?
read the first post. clear as day says your linux-swap should be fat32, ext,swap and your swap should be 16,24, or 32 MB.

This is a new thread for a new "experimental" line of CM builds since the old thread is gigantic now.
If you want a *stable* version of this rom, go here! This thread is for the brave testers who want to live on the edge, and help build a new "stable" release. I can't test everything on my own, so I need help from the XDA community!
*** DISCLAIMER ***
While this build is heavily optimized, it is also capable of pushing your G1 much harder. I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or the current economic crisis. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it!
Please also read the FAQ in the thread listed above. This is not a thread for asking questions about how to partition your SD card, GMail timeouts, or installing a recovery image.

Changes in v3.5.3
* Dalvik patches from master (actually tested!)
* Update wpa_supplicant from master
* Update Freetype to 2.3.9 (nicer font hinting) (being reverted for next release)
* Multithreaded A2DP from master (should reduce skipping)
* Minor kernel tweaks
* Include AUFS as a module by request
* Fix lock screen glitches and shrink battery icons
* KNOWN BUG - PDFViewer & NDK apps crash (grab /system/lib/libsgl.so from an old version for a quick fix)
* KNOWN BUG - Lock screen still doesn't update correctly
Changes in v3.5.2
* Ditch SquashFS on /system/lib because of performance
* Clean up the lock screen a bit, new icons, etc
* Patch AlarmClock so it doesn't lose snoozes
* If /system/sd/userinit.sh exists, execute it after a2sd setup
Changes in v3.5.1
* Add missing netfilter kernel modules and apply backported ext4 fixes
* Included Stericson's spiffy lock screen
* Some settings enhancements- show mod version and don't allow SD unmount when A2SD is active
* Switched to squashfs instead of cramfs
* /system/lib is now on squashfs, saving TONS of space (first boot of system is a little slower though)
* Tweak some cpufreq settings
* Disabled camera noise in libcameraservice since the HTC camera does it internally.
Changes in v3.5
* Kernel 2.6.29
* Revert vold hack to default, for now.
Reserved for future.

No reason, the only real change in this build is the kernel. What I'm primarily interested to know is if this ROM solves the so-called "coma" issue that some people are experiencing. And if not, hopefully we can do some tweaking here to solve it without destabilizing the 3.4 branch which works great for most folks.
Does it support ext4? Is there a way to convert without having to reformat the partition?
What are the advantages of ext4?

Yes, it does support ext4. I am currently running it. I also included the newer e2fsprogs if you want to upgrade, but I am not going to force anyone into that. EXT4 has some nice stuff like delayed allocation which can save wear on your device. Google will tell you how to upgrade with tune2fs, if you want. The e2fsprogs in my 1.2 recovery don't currently support the required options, so you'd have to stop the runtime, unmount and run the commands. I'll add the new version in the next recovery release.

question, and i'm just purely throwing something out there cuz i have'nt dont much reading on it, or tried fully understanding it, but if there is apps2sd, can there possibly be themes2sd? and if there was no sd it would revert to the rom on the phone safely?

okay, I stand corrected. I knew the kernal could do it, however I hadn't heard anything about you actually incorperating it into the file system. is it possible to run all that through the phone itself or do you have to adb into it?

It supports ext4, and upgrading is an in-place upgrade, no reformat necessary.

You'd need to use adb because you need to stop the Android runtime to unmount /system/sd.
does this require a wipe from 3.4.6?
Here goes nothin'! I get freezes 3-4 times a day. Hoping this will fix that.

uh, no? if you did that, and the sd card was removed, the theme and Ahome files required to operate would not be there, and you'd crash. as it is set up, you can remove your sdcard right now and not crash your phone.

Nope. flashed it over with no issues. on a side note, I've flashed and run every app through the phone, everything is 100% right now. to bad I can't update my EXT3 to EXT4 right now, I'll have to wait till tomorrow unless 3.5.1 comes out with ext4 upgrade already.
Flashing in a few minutes..
I'm all yours for testing..

I would not suggest ext4 with 2.6.29, especially considering android does not remount RO and shutdown cleanly. For that matter there is nothing to speak of that is useful in an environment like the G1.
Performance of ext4 is not terribly different from ext3. Large file size/directory depth improvements are pointless on the G1. Online defrag also pointless for flash. About the only feature I can think of that is useful would be journal checksumming.
Better to wait for 2.6.30 kernels on android and even then it is debatable.

LOCKED BECAUSE I HAVE A FOUL MOUTH
JUST KIDDING, LOCKED AT MY REQUEST AS JAC AND I HAVE MERGED HERO BUILDS
Almost forgot, Thanks be to Lucid Rem, Denkai, JAC, Drizzy, Cyanogen and all the other devs who make this possible!
I may do one more small update (jacHEROskiv1.4C) but it will be roughly a week until my next major update -jacHEROskiv2.0C - in testing now. Hopefully I will be able to get it done sooner.
This ROM is based off of JACHero 2.3.5 & 2.3.6r2 running cyanogen's new kernel.
Requirements:
New SPL
Cyanogen's recovery 1.3 or later
FAT32
EXT2 or EXT3
linux-swap
Features:
jacHEROski 1.0
2.6.29-cm [email protected] ) kernel
modified boot.img/ramdisk
1. Removed Swapper App and replaced with automatic swap on boot
2. Modified a2sd.sh (still 81MB free)
3. init.rc changes (no longer overclocked to 528, but cyanogen's cpu scaling
changes included)
4. wifi optimizations
5. Wifi working (finally)
6. sqaushfs support
jacHEROski 1.1
same as before and...
1. Tweaked a2sd.sh because it corrupts app_s when all on the sdcard
2. modified sqaushfs for modules (the old method was making Hero SLOOWWWWW)
3. Dalvikvm update for better memory management
4. Kernel from Cyanogen means better battery life!
As you can see I've changed my alphanumerical system to reflect the fact I'll be releasing two flavors (one more tonight) the second flavor will be all appstosd and will be uploaded later tonight.
jacHEROskiv1.2C
1. All of the previous changes but included Drizzy's apk and resource changes because they rock!
2. Is faster and more stable than previous version. Included some missing files and deleted some redundant ones.
3. gps works in v1.2 and later!!!!!
jacHEROskiv1.2C - ALL APPS TO SD
Same as before except....
1. ALL APPS TO SD - I need testers to see if it's "usable" in Hero terms!
2. New wallpaper in Rosie. It's pretty sweet. If you don't feel like flashing a new ROM I got you covered.
jacHEROskiv1.3 A2SD
same as before and...
1. All apps to SD
2. Modified Rosie.apk
3. HTTPS working!
4. Lucid REM's script is included in /system/bin so you can mess with app2sd and audio mods and hacks yourself!
In terminal:
$ su
# lucid
Then it will list options. I recommend checking for an update.
# lucid -u
5. other small modifications.
jacHEROskiv1.3.2C[/B]
same as before except...
1. Fixed su problems!!! YAY
2. Fixed wifi tether problems!!!! YAY
3. Fixed GPS Problems (again) YAY!!!!!
jacHEROskiv1.4C
same as before and...
1. modified a2sd method - better
2. modified boot.img - better
3. squashfs /system/modules/lib included for future release
4. Lucid included in /system/bin still so you can do audio MODS yourself!
5. A2SD is automatic.
PLEASE GIVE EVERYTHING TIME TO SYNC!!!!!!!
jacHEROskiv1.4.1C
same as before except
1. added Voice search apk and lib p)
2. other small changes
PLEASE NOTE:
This ROM is more stable than the last!!!!
Multi-touch does not work (yet).
The initial boot and set-up process takes longer than normal, but once the phone syncs you are left with IMHO a more stable Hero build that manages memory and processes very well.

very nice job on putting this together, i seen you process and its amazing =D
gonna try it in a bit.
Anxious to hear how this build is, Im running the older version and it works so well I dont wanna switch lol. Havent seen the loading screen ever since I flashed it.
downloading, gonna try first MaxismaJ and then this, i cannot leave Sense UI, dont think im gonna like MaxismaJ u.u although HTC Hero ROM's are a bit laggy i cannot go back xD im in love with the interface .

The squashfs support is very experimental, I may remove it if after a day or so my phone is laggy.
I find myself flashing a new rom atleast 3-4 times a day...LOL
Um...anyone try this one yet? Pros/Cons??
First ski was really good flashing to ski 2 now
for real! i think i have done 8 flashes with in the last 2 days. To me the ski is the best on my phone works well
just when I made it 1 day without flashing. lol

This ROM isn't overclocked automatically, you'll have to download SetCPU or overclocker from the market.
And please remember, this one is still experimental, I'll be releasing a stable - yet different build - tomorrow.

Hello again, just want to mention i am in jacheroski first version and its been really stable (I think its a keeper) I like to try 1.0 but you didn't mention your swappiness settings, also, can you plz let me know if the location of "a2sd" still "system/bin"? maybe I can just pull "a2sd" and modify the swappiness myself
thank you! you did a great job with the first version... flashing 1.0 now
EDIT: swappiness is set to 60 right?
third flash today...
wow can't believe i'm lashing again today
my third time in the past 2 hrs LOL
anyways flashing right now
post results later...
Wow another Hero release! Sweet!!! if this continues we would have a regular Justice League of HERO's out there... Flashing now and will post a screenshot once im done
looks fine but..
build looks fine but it's lagy
phone is very slow doesn't respond on time
it's like Vista with Aero on a Celeron based pc
i would wait for a faster build to come
Going back to Cyan's 3.6.4.1 build - btw this build is like an XP on a QuadCore - fast as lightning

This ROM is based off the latest "HTC" ROM leak 2.83.x.x with tons of mods enjoy!!
DO NOT RUN ANY OTHER APPS2SD APPLICATIONS ON THIS BUILD. YOU WILL BREAK YOUR SYSTEM. THEY ARE NOT NECESSARY BECAUSE THIS ROM WILL DO A2SD AUTOMATICALLY AND BETTER!
NOTES:Swap is linux-swap by default. Edit the user.conf in /system/bin to change swappiness etc. Compcache modules built with the latest source are included if you want compcache or compcache with backing etc. Run sh /system/bin/swap -s to check swap status and other mod values.
JACxHEROSki-v1.7r2
-Remixed 1.5/1.6 with the latest 2.83.x.x HTC Hero Dump
-Kept Old Mms.apk
-Removed Plurk related .apk's (I dont like plurk )

Faster than qtek? will give a try this night.
Thanks for the port!
Hi Setenza, how fast is this rom ? I m running drizzy's full v3, can you make a comparison between these two ?

No i don't use this rom.
I just flashed this - best part is that I do not get the "blurry screen" problem.
I enabled compcache and backing swap, and reversed apps2sd to run off the memory. This is a fast ROM - so far I'm really really liking it. This is subjective - but right now I think it is about the fastest hero I've run - but many of the recent ones have given the blurry screen, so I haven't given them a chance.

How you reversed app2sd? i allways thing that magic owners no need app2sd, we have more internal storage than dream one....
Any room run faster from internal memory than from microSD, i think.

So this is the first 32B ROM of JACxHero 1.4? If so that would explain why I was having problems running it on my 32B board.

I followed Loccy's instructions here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4353332&postcount=68
tried this rom, it seemed quick but brouser seems slow when loading a page and youtube cant play in HQ which tells me that im not getting 3g even tho the icon is their
wow this is even faster than qtek with compcache and back :O
GPS does not work
I have just flashed this ROM on MyTouch, here is my obeservation:
1) GPS Does not work
2) Weather widget does not work, even I used the City name it does not get data on widget screen (is says "Can not load weather data...something")
3) Overall its very slow, when placed only 4 settings widgets on first screen
4) Wifi, Phone call works good.
Rest I'll test and let you know. Thanks!
seems like these hero roms act different with each person who loads it. My weather widget worked fine for me. their was alittle bit of lag.
Still...the hero roms are getting better and better.

i personally can't get it to work... i get stuck at the splash screen...
EDIT: you probably want to download connectbot found here
http://code.google.com/p/connectbot/
i was trying to use a plain windows command prompt, which is probably why its not working...
can someone verify this for me when i use hero rom like this and disable touchflo then restart the phone and go to people the app crashes everytime???
READ FIRST - I am no longer updating my ROMs - details.
If you're following the Hero scene, you'll know that I have published a custom ROM based on the 1.73.405.5 shipping ROM. I have a Vodafone Magic (32B) and a T-Mobile G1 kicking around (and HTC want my PR review unit Hero back!), so figured it would be cool to firstly build a really simple way for me to package my ROMs for all 3 devices, and secondly try and produce an update.zip that runs on all 3!
Well, the first step is here, I have the MoDaCo Custom ROM ready to install on your Sapphire 32B device (if anyone can point me at a boot.img / kernel that runs this on 32A, i'll include that in the package (I can't test 32A)).
Things you should know...
- Contents are IDENTICAL to the MoDaCo Custom ROM core version detailed here.
- I have used cyanogen's kernel from 4.0.4 (big respect to cyanogen, he's doing awesome work!)
- Now compcache ready - use this script for a big performance boost!
It has room for improvement, and given the serious lack of ROM on the G1, I think optimising is a priority. Hopefully it will also provide a useful base for some other chefs. All that said and done tho, I don't think in it's current state it's unusable!
The download link (in update.zip format for flashing in the usual way via recovery image) is at: http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-09-2-1-modaco-custom-rom-hero-to-dream-port/
I've packaged Cyanogen's 4.1.6 BFS enabled Kernel and wlan.ko as an update.zip too (see above thread) - nandroid backup before applying!
I've quoted some of my original Hero post here, so you know what you're getting. Enjoy!

This ROM is based on the Generic 2.73.405.5 release version of the 'new update' (together with my own optimisations) for the best possible performance! The ROM is now available in 2 versions - 'core' and 'enhanced' by popular request.
Included in both 'core' and 'enhanced' versions

- Deleted 'Learn More' application
- Deleted Maps application - install from the Android Market to always stay up to date
- ROM now includes touch focus in Camera app
- ROM now supports shortcuts using BetterCut (and therefore I assume anycut!) in Rosie
- Silenced boot sound (it's still there and can be reactivated with a file edit)
- You can now check your MoDaCo Custom ROM (MCR) version from the about menu. It will display MCR2.0 (core) or MCR2.0e (enhanced).
- Fix for HTC Peep on Vodafone now available here!

It is based on a newer build of Hero. So it should technically be better. May need some optimization for the G1 though.
I'm running CM v4.1.4 right now, I can just flash this without any other modification? Would a wipe be advisable?

You have to wipe your ext 3 and do a alt+w
Yeeeahhh.
The blaze is about to be set!
Got a question....
Are there any devs out there that can build a ROM from the ground up? Maybe a Hero clone that doesn't require so much space and resource? I've noticed (not being anything close to a dev) that you guys take a ROM developed by some techie at HTC and cook it to bring the rest of us enjoyment and peace with our phones, but does any dev have the know-how to develope a "Hero" ROM designed for the G1?
If this is retarded, just ignore the post and tell me to go brick my G1. Word...

if you have the money to pay my bills whilst I quit my day job and can wait several months. Then yes.
It takes TEAMS of people that get paid a **** ton of money MONTHS to develop a ROM from the ground up.

hey i have bricked my phone i trieed to update my radio to install this rom after completing it when i rebooted my phone now i onli see a photo of a box and a arrrow cuming out of it indicating to phone i cant even power on my phone cant even go to recovery mode..............please help...
Here is a flash image for the dream of the MT3G ASOP (T-mobile OTA) 2.2 release. Including the most recent security update!!!
[SIZE=+2]MT3G-test3_S.zip[/SIZE]
(MD5: efff33db482ea3b6da3b247516be6a7f .. last updated 11/21/2010)
Please note this includes my 20101106 - 2708 ported kernel, for those requiring other kernels see addons
Requires:
* [Size=+2]1.33.0013d or 1.33.0013 SPLs with recommend 2.22.28.25 radio[/size]
(32b devices only) details on this post..
If you refuse to upgrade or can't upgrade because you have a 32a (1.2 or classic) device: you will need an alternative kernel as described in step 4.b 4.c or the phone will not boot
Note: 2.22.27.08 will also work but is not how the ota was shipped
* Uesrs of other SPLs can either use Danger (dream only), any sapphire SPL on the magic/sapphire/MT3G or alternatively Custom MTD I recommend "87 2" (system/cache) {as of test3 06bindcache will work if you install the parts package, thus if you use CustomMTD parts is mandatory to avoid market issues}
To install:
1) Wipe with 'fastboot erase system -w' (A no-wipe upgrade from test-2 will probably work)
2) flash MT3G-test3_S.zip
3) You will be prompted if you wish to install AmazonMP3 (answer yes/no)
4) You will be prompted if you want to set gprsclass set to 12 (you probably wish to answer yes)
4.b) If you have a 32a or 32a 1.2 magic install the ebi1, ebi0 kernel respectively from here: http://goo.gl/qFJO
4.c) If you have a 32b dream/sapphire without the new 2708 spl/radio install the ebi0 kernel if your radio starts with 2.22, or the ebi1 radio if it starts with 3.22 here: http://goo.gl/qFJO
5) Optional flash "DroidX keyboard" add-on
6) Optional flash "parts" add-on
Alternatively the rom is now available in RomManager; and will install the rom and correct version of the 20110222 kernel; also will allow you to choose between the components parts, droidX keyboard, and language packs.
Whats included:
1) su/superuser from CM6
2) my cm6 optimized pershoot based kernel described here
3) wifi working
4) bluetooth working (fixed inv2)
5) keyboard working (fixed in v2)
6) Rom contains English/Spanish only (Other languages available as language pack addons)
7) No sim card required (fixed with v2 market fix)
Many additional packages included in the parts addon.
To see information on the original Test2 release vist This Post
What not working:
* CM6 potential USB power issue (its not horrible on 2.6.34.7 but if you notice it reboot, or plug in a wall adapter)
* Sound Recorder shortcut missing, this looks like a bug in the OTA not the port a workaround
What to do if it bootloops
Before posting that the rom will not boot; please verify the following:
1) Check that if you don't have the newest radio SPLs *OR* don't have a 32B phone; that you install the correct kernel as mentioned in step 4b/4c in the installation instructions
2) Please use Super Wipe immediately before installing (ie. flash super wipe; restart back to recovery; then install the rom)
3) If you did not install it; install partsB; this will fix some date related bootloops that happens after flashing some of the radios. (after you can login and set the date correctly feel free to re-install without parts if you really don't want it)
4) If your phone is still bootlooping; after a clean install make sure you run 'adb logcat > logcat.txt' on your computer just after rebooting into the rom. Then paste the logcat contents into pastebin copying the link to this thread.
This may sound overkill but its the easiest way to make sure its not your error during install.
Addons
A|| Kernels:
The set of kernels used with this rom can be found: http://goo.gl/qFJO
> MT3G 1.2 (fender users) please use the EBI0 kernel
> 32A magic users (and rogers dreams who have not updated to a 2708 radio) please use the EBI1 port
> Dream/Sapphire users with older EBI0 radios may also use the EBI0 kernel with this rom.
B|| Parts Add On:
MT3G-test3-partsB_S.zip
MD5: 58b80345db33c95a92f9be77ee67cc43 (update 12/01/2010)
What is it you ask.. It adds support for many things on top of the base rom
(note if you are upgrading from the original Test3-parts this is a no-wipe update)
1) Add support for init.d scripts
2) Add support for 'adb remount'
3) Add support for live wallpapers (apk kanged from CM nightly 238, and odex by myself)
4) Add busybox in a squashfs (binaries kanged form CM nightly 238; and repacked since I didn't want all of them) Note test3-partsB restores the toolbox netstat link to correctly display netstat information again.
5) Add LWP fix (fixes various 3D) via init.rc permissions (based on firerats work) updated in test3-partsB to fix slow performance in many games.
6) Added fix_permissions script (this one kanged from biffmod 2.1)
7) Load ipv6 on boot
8) apn list from CM238 nightly (new for test3)
9) flash_image from CM238 nightly (new for test3)
10) date verification; if year is < 2010 set the date to a more recent date (prevents initial boot boot loops for some users) added in test3-partsB
11) And Last but not least:
Added "Froyo Parts" apk custom menu interface to (this is my work k, thanks.. but certainty has ideas from pre-eclair apps2sd and firerats scripts):
internal -> /sd-ext
a. dex2sd (/data/dalvik-cache)
b. data2sd (/data/data)
c. apps2sd (/data/app & /data/app-private)
d. Keep Home in Ram (thanks to raven_raven's idea) [new test3]
e. Compcache 18MB (based of CM's script) [new test3]
f. Restrict /dev/hw3dc most games run better with this disabled; however some work better with it enabled (no reboot required) added in test3-partsB
Check the one or more to gain additional space; allow the app root permissions and reboot; the files will be moved accordingly.
All options only apply on next reboot, so if you make a mistake just revert
Previous 11/21/2010 version
MT3G-test3-parts_S.zip
MD5: 199475ba609396114049adbe196d571a
C|| DroidX Multi Touch Keyboard:
A new addon for those that like the DroidX Multi Touch Keyboard.
Thanks to RoyalKnight6190 for the biffmod port this is based on and in turn punk.kaos for the version that works on your phones
This is odexed to save data space and WILL replace the default keyboard

* Also roalex's OTA Gingerbread (for froyo):

Note: The clock will be black on black unless you flash the "Simple Black Bar" theme with white clock followed by this themed status bar.
E|| Lang Packs:
Non-supported language starter packs
see this post (update 12/11/2010)
These are for test3 only and provide the options to add [fr,pl,de] or [ja,zh] or [it,ru,nb] or [cs,ko,tr] to the existing en,es rom.
F|| Disable Menu Unlock:
No this is not a bug fix; the Rom has a feature coded in to allow the menu key to unlock the screen as could be done on the phone before the update.
However for those that don't like this feature here is a hacked version of the framework to disable the menu unlock, and enable the "H" notification.
MT3G-test3-disabelMenuUnlock_S.zip
MD5 SUM: 897bf28ee97db05395935f0e29b20967
Please note this will not work with the language packs or themes (of course a theme or custom language pack may include this functionality)
G|| Kernel Updates:
An update to the included 20101106 (and related 20101031) kernels can be found:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11565574&postcount=670
Simply flash the kernel update.zip matching your configuration
FAQ:
* Installing Titanium + Root Fails: You require BusyBox for Titanium to work; this can be installed via You can either install the parts package or install via titanium its self
* I need ipv6 loaded on boot to run goggles or other app: This is included in the parts package; if you wish not to use the parts package see this trick
* adb remount doesn't work and this rom doesn't have root.. yes 'adb remount' fails because this is a stock rom.. however NO just because that fails doesn't mean there is no root. see this post in short modify /system in recovery its safer than adb remount anyway. Also ADB remount has been added to the parts package
* I want to revert from the DroidX keyboard to stock: re-flash test-3 followed by parts if you flashed parts. (do not wipe)
(In short if you are having issues with advanced features try out the parts package )
Note:
This is only a quick hack of the official MT3G rom; please don't expect me to make major changes to it (If I'm doing that I'll build from ASOP source)
(Changes: version 2 fixes bluetooth and the keyboard + audio levels for dream + removes OTA key so it won't ask for any future updates)
(Changes: Market-fix; applies the updated files from the OTA fix; in addition to allowing you to signon [or skip signon] without a simcard)
(Changes: Test-3 parts improvements + security update included)
thanks for this fast port. i will give feedback =)
EDIT: wo mtd its working smooth. just one faves fc and otherwise no issues. maybe you could say that gapps are included and working ^^
Currently flashing too, many thanks! Was gonna have an early night, cant see that happening now!
Update: Flash went well, booted up nice and quick. Upon setup screen I left it sit for a few mins after the screen turned off. I then proceded to set up passed the initial screens but it failed to connect and stated "you dont have a network connection". It found my router fine, carried on with the set up and synced. So for me so far I have no mobile data connection. Overall it seems nippy and responsive, will keep testing it out...
What did you do!?!?!?!? this is perfect!!!!
Browser, Gallery, Search, Calculator, Phone, Messages, etc ALL OPEN AT THE SAME TIME, no swap, no compcache (i think, free/busybox is broken) SUPERFAST FROYO
Thanks man.
Quick question... is this insane speed due to that i haven't logged in to google yet? or is it due to your awesome kernel? or neither? What's different between the EXACT kernel used in here and the pershoot ones?
Thanks.

I desperately want to flash this, but I'm slightly nervous because my MyTouch3G (or HT-03A, in my case) was bought in Japan and subsequently unlocked for use in another country. I see that SU was implemented, so I'm not worried about losing root. Basically, besides the normal risks of flashing custom roms, is this going to create a danger zone for me?
Update: gave it a shot. Installs and boots like a race horse, but sadly it's not a phone. I keep getting the phone itself FCing (com.android.phone) and thus it kind of loses it's functionality. Going to give it another wipe and flash, see if that helps.
Second edit: no love. I know this is going to be huge, and I already can feel/see the amazing speeds present here. BUt if I can't make phone calls, it really can't help me right now. Good luck man, I'll be rooting for you!

What did you do!?!?!?!? this is perfect!!!!
Browser, Gallery, Search, Calculator, Phone, Messages, etc ALL OPEN AT THE SAME TIME, no swap, no compcache (i think, free/busybox is broken) SUPERFAST FROYO

I kept it stock; stock has no busybox but you can push it from somewhere else if you wish
The compcache module is included if desired; also setcpu will allow upto a 595oc with this kernel; (a safe 576 max by default)
Very little injected my kernel+modules; and su/superuser.apk from a cm6 build so you keep root.. and copied init.sapphire.rc to init.trout.rc (removed the radio+recovery components of course since I assume you wish to keep the custom recovery)
Without bluetooth this is like a one engine jet plane .
No PAN , no can.
i have a funny feeling t-mobile, google and htc are dicking us around, yawn.

This is absolutely amazing, the speed is as fast as donut, unbelievable!! What is needed to get root access? Im in no position to be ale to help unfortunately as I lack the tech-knowledge! Also any ideas on the bluetooth issue?
May many many thanks!!!
How does this compare to Biffmod for you? I remember the original stock Donut was typically faster than AOSP based Donut roms, does it apply to this case?
Downloaded and flashing right now...

For me my friend, this is probably the best rom ever! My reasons, theres been no lag, installation was smooth and fast, not a single force close. Bluetooth and mobile data isnt working for me (is it because I am in the UK, perhaps I just need to sort out my APN.....) nor is there root yet but theyll come in time. Ive installed LauncherPro and it runs smooth as anything, I am VERY VERY pleased that I have a super fast Froyo on my G1, I am never going back!!!
PS: I personally experienced random reboots on Biffmod and other Froyo roms, none on this rom so far!

Um.. root is working for me.. I added that to the zip (if you are in adb you will need to run 'su' then accept it on the phone.. so make sure the phone is unlocked the first time)
Sorry to be stupid, will this work with Magic 32B version? I dont care for Bluetooth at all, I care for wifi, 3g and gps.
Heading home right now to go and flash this on my G1.

No new spl/radio, actually it will probably fail with the new radio.

Sorry yes my fault there. The problem I faced was I tried Titanium Backup but it complained of not having root and/or BusyBox. I went in to Terminal, typed SU, allowed it, downloaded BusyBox through Titanium and all is well!
Your. Are. A. Genius!!
PS: Keys arent mapped correctly e.g. the 'M' key which should give me a '>' gives me a '!'
