No, it says tested on Vodafone, which is 32B.
Would OP please write what board model this is for in the topic and the ROM description.
Is there a person that have tested this versionj
Rapid test
Hello,
After few minutes on use :
- complete Hero rom,
- this rom can work with linux-swap, or comcache or both. By default it seems that is linux-swap. Not so fast. Need more test with differents settings but
- no g-sensor
-> back to Qtek rom !
Scargoll.
No G-Sensor? Auto-rotate works fine on this ROM for me?
P
Happens from time to time that the G-sensor does not work, this can be fixed by removing /data/misc/amkd* /data/misc/rild*
I'll try with the browser, Google maps and camera, no landscape for me.
I've just tried before this rom the Qtek one and it was Ok with it. And i format my Sd and wipe Data between each rom test.

Is there a solution to make exchange sync work ?
Thanks for the port. This and Qtek's rom are almost identical it seems. Same speed, same issues for the most part. I thought compcache wasn't working, be cause of the speed, but I think it most likely has to do with the new build itself that isn't optimized.
The original rom is compcache enable, if you change the default configuration. Why you don't have ported this possibility ?

NOTE
For this rom to working correctly you will need to have 3 partitions on your memory card.
Fat32
ext2/3
linux-swap
in that correct order The swap partition will need to be atleast 32 mb. Making larger won't help as that is the size I have left to. may change later but 32 seems to be more then suffcient.

Alternative Method: (suggested)
Install RAv Recovery to format your SD Card
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
WARNING BEFORE FLASH !!!
ONLY For those who have already a Partitioned SD Card and Tried many times ROMS !!!
1) Mount your SD Card and copy the Rom over it
2) Rename it in update.zip
3) Go in Terminal or ADB
4) Delete your /data/app_s/*.* manually in this way:
Code:
adb shell
cd data
cd app_s
rm *.*
reboot
5) Press immediately HOME+POWER before the splash screen
6) Do a Nice Wipe Data
7) Apply sdcard:update.zip
Installed Apps are on ext2/3 and a Wipe Data doesn't seems to clean them well !
Other Installed Apps are on /data/app/ and I let you decide to clean them or not
Eg.
If you installed any app from Market you will always have it installed, also after a Wipe
Features:
Camera works
MULTILANGUAGE
G-Sensor - GPS - WiFi
Full Market with Paid apps !
IME Support for all languages
I used Noverca Audio files, best one IMHO
Small Size Rosie.apk (just deleted a lot of useless background)
Added Superuser - ANetShare - Terminal - Shazam - Astro - aTrackDog
Added Funny Notification Sounds
Added More Funny Notification Sounds provided by Bhavski
Know Issue
Bluetooth starts, G2 can see my Nokia Headset, but no lucky pairing it
Not all Leds works properly, but someone did
Important note
This Rom is WWE and Apn are set automatically
CHECK YOUR APN !!!
CHECK IT ON SETTINGS IMMEDIATELY AFTER FLASH !

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

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).
this is just informative for everyone that has the older version and to find direction as I tried every trick i know to fix it.
There is a new JacHero and is fantastic, very snappy with swapper running in the background. I set it to 96/40 and runs flawlessly.
can download from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534479
I take no credit for this at all just letting everyone know there is a new version. all aplicable credit are on his thread.
I have installed on my Mytouch and the only thing that I noticed is that the wifi don't work. just says unable to start. If anyone had any ideas on how to fix this please let me know. As per original article sapphire support was added and has the wlan.ko and a new one there. I have tried to move it over deleting the old one and chmod to 07455 and 777 still wifi don't work. Any ideas please let me know.

It's not laggy, but not completely buttery smooth on my class 2 4GB that came with the MT3G (but still way more smooth and responsive than any other hero rom I've tried).
compcache is disabled, and the cpu scaling is default (min 128, max 528, up_threshold 45).

Q: Is there a way to remove app2sd?
3.0 for some reason doesn't work. It keeps telling me no data connection. 2.0 and now 2.1 do work however. Any ideas?
excellent ROM,
been from 2.0 upto 2.1 and now 3.0
only thing is that i don't see "secondary SD memory" in settings?
formated using SDParted script Swap=32Mb, EXT4=512Mb, rest FAT32 (8Gb class 6)
Internal Phone Storage stays 280~290Mb, so i presume Apps2SD is working ?
cheers

Magic 32B (originally Vodafone UK, now AKIRAH 3.0 in Jakarta)
i hope someone can port to 32A for us...
very simple ROM but with some nice goodies. Keeps it simple and efficient.
Question, w/ compcache enabled at start, should I customize my own userconf / unserinit.sh to set swap size, and whether to use linux or backing swap?
What are the default settings?
Default is just 24Meg of compcache. Of course you can put user.conf and userinit.sh on /system/sd and it will take values from there.
hi, i have a problem: i did wipe and i flashed this ROM from recovery, but the boot stops at the screen "android"...
i had a 4.0.4 cyanogen with 3 partitions: fat32, ext2 and swap...
how can i solve this problem?
thanks
question about micro (magic 32B)
Hello,
first of all, thanks for your work, and all your current updates.
Second, I have not tried what I am going to ask, but anyway here it is.
Since Cyanogen found out the way to create "dual" roms for the dream and magic everyone has been doing them that way, but in all of them I have always had problems with the microphone sensitivity when in a call.
There is a little fix (pushing the audio files from an original 32B to the rom), wich works perfectly.
Now the question: Is this the normal procedure? no one has noticed this error before? can this still be done in Donut (I think the location of the files is the same)? Is this just a problem only I am having?
(ok, maybe more than one question )
The fix refered is the following:
adb push AudioPreProcess.csv /system/etc
adb push AudioPara4.csv /system/etc
adb push AudioFilter.csv /system/etc
Thanks for all
Is there any way of getting the Hero email client working in Donut?? Mass delete functions are seriously needed on my device.

Would be great to have whole SENSE UI on Donut Small question ADP1 means ? I`m using MAgic 32A ... Would it be compatible ? I`m newbie with Android... Thanks for reply
To be honest I am not really that bothered with the senseUI having played with pretty much all the hero builds, speed and stability is more important to me but androids inbuilt email client is about the worst one I have ever tried, the hero version is slightly more usable though.
I am surprised that there are not more email client apps in the market, all I can find on there is k9.
Also while I am here, will the blur theme work on 3.0?? I quite liked that one and it has been overwritten.

For 32A users:
I haven't tested this yet, but if someone wants to give this a try, it should work.

Push this and the full ROM from the front page to your sdcard. Reboot into a recovery that allows you to flash a .zip that isn't only named "update.zip" (like Amon_RAs RAv1.2.1). Apply the ROM from the first page, them apply this patch. It will change the kernel to a 32A compliant one with BFS 300 (thanks to Radix999 for keeping on top of the BFS/kernel situation).

Whenever you go from Cupcake to a Donut to a Hero ROM or visa versa you have to wipe your ext3 partition as well or it boot loops. The easiest way to do this is to upgrade to Amon_RA's recovery and it gives you the option without having to go into console.
So wipe the phone, wipe the ext3 and repair ext partition, then flash the ROM.
Amon RA's Recovery
I know the recovery says Dream but I have it on my 32B with no issues, as well as several other people.
Anyone know if MyFaves works with this? I don't want to install it then have it FC.
up and running since 8 AM with only a single issue, but I think thats BFS300 related bc I experienced the same issues on the hero builds using it.
edited user-conf so Im running 192 MB backing swap, 80 swappiness, and 100% good compress.
Only thing I want now is a dark theme, but seeing how stable and reliable this build it, its only a matter of time before it picks up the momentum to attract theme makers.
am i correct in sayin this is better than cyanogens recovery image and will work with all the same things as cyanogens recovery does ??

you are confused. this is a rom not a recovery image. did you post in the wrong thread or something?
Beautiful rom, but I've some problems:
- gps starts, but never give me my position.
- the bar on the top of the screen (the bar that contains notification, icons, clock...) suddenly disappeared
thank you (and excuse me form my bad English )
Climbing Mount Impropable beta 2
DOWNLOAD: CMI_beta2.zip
Tested on U8100 but propably works on U8120 aswell. Doesn't work well on T-mobile pulse mini but may work on other U8110 phones.
Kernel
- 2.6.32.9
- Based on source for U8150
- Tweaked touchscreen driver calibration to work fine on my U8100.
- Enabled swap
- Enabled EXT3 (if I add a2sd later)
- Added swap_notify support for compcache
- Added LZO support for compcache
- No overclocking yet (will have a look at it later)
Android
- Android 2.2 based on Australian U8150 ROM
- Support for tons of languages
- HVGA hacked Market
- Updated/added several Google apps (Gmail, VoiceSearch, GestureSearch, Street view, Maps)
- root:ed
- Added busybox, nano, bash etc...
Not working
- Wifi (U8150 has a BCM chip, U8100/10/20 uses an Atheros chip, I'm working on it)
- FM Radio (no app was included and 2.1 app depends on stuff in the framework)
Compcache
See post #3
Swap
To enable swap on partition 3 or partition 2 (it will check partition 3 first and if it doesn't exist it will try partition 2)
$ su
# sdswap.sh enable
$ su
# sdswap.sh disable
Installation
1. Flash a recovery image (tested with AmonRA.)
2. Copy the .zip file to your MicroSD card and boot the phone into recovery mode (call+volume-up+power)
3. Choose "Flash zip from sdcard" and choose the zip you just copied.
4. Wipe data+cache before rebooting if it the first install of this ROM. When upgrading with future updates you propably won't need to wipe again.
Compcache
If you are using are allready using a swap partition on your SD-card, then you most likely shouldn't enable compcache. But if you do not want to partition your SD-card then compcache can be a good alternative.
Read more about how Compcache works here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Compcache
Enable compcache
In a terminal or using an adb shell type this:
$ su
# compcache.sh enable
Type free to confirm you now have 32Mb swap
Disable compcache
In a terminal or using an adb shell type this:
$ su
# compcache.sh disable
Type free to confirm you now have 0Mb swap
Advanced users
Compcache size, settings and swappiness is setup in /system/bin/compcache.sh
If you are an advanced user, you'll know how to proceed from here...

Vodafone 845 is a U8120 and I believe it should work on it.
I installed on a U8110 from Yoigo (Spain) and It worked all except the sound, which allways sound as a white noise and the wifi wasn't work either.
I had to remove the rom because of the sound. I'll try it again in the next beta.
Best Regards
Hi Kalt_Kaffee..
by my Vodafone 845 is by beta2 the same. Booting ok. Tutorial ok. Phone after first boot freeze. After second boot i can a little bit longer test. Phone and gprs working. After open Devtools freeze and reboots.
Waiting to Beta3

With touchpad you mean the optical d-pad?
simple disable d-pad
Hi kallt_kaffe,
On my u8120, i got the same crash, when i touching the d-pad. There is a package which can disable the d-pad, but its only for 2.1. Is that possible to disable d-pad, until the final solution comes? The rom would be much more usable witout this kind of crashes.
Thank you for your great work!
yes, i mean the d-pad
where can i calibrate the touchscreen ? downer part of touchscreen is very bad calibrated on u8120

I'll try to make a kernel without the d-pad driver. That may stop the crashes (but you'll have to do without the d-pad for now)

Sorry, you can't. I haven't managed to get the calibration app to work with the Froyo build even though the touchscreen driver is pretty much the same as with the old kernel. I had to hardcode the calibration that worked fine on my phone.
Well, sure, of course you can do it but you'll have to recompile the kernel every time you change a value.
U8120 (Vodafone 845) users, try the attached update. It should disable the optical d-pad and hopefully stop the crashes.
Hi Kallt_Kaffee...
fix for Diapad not working. One klick and than freeze and reboot.
It is correkt.. If i dont touch the dialpad the froyo 2.2 works fine and fast no freeze. Camera working. Wifi not. I test now Market and take same Benchmark over SetCpu.
Christian
The CMI_no_optical_dpad_update.zip working perfectly for me, when i touching the d-pad. But if i pushing the d-pad (as a button), ist still crashing. Anyways, its much more better already. Thx.
The rom looks stable, and faster than custom V845 2.1 roms.
Sound ok
Wifi no
Bluetooth ok
HSDPA/GPRS ok
GSM ok
Touchscreen calibration not so good in portait, better in landscape, but useable
Camera ok
SetCpu long test: 12000 (same as on 2.1 @528MHz)
Linpack benchmark: 3.3 MFLOPS (2.2 MFLOPS on 2.1 @528MHz)
I am unable to install the Adobe Flash 10.1. Any idea?
sorry...
gprs not working stable by me. apn are correct.
Test tomorrow again.
Kalt_kaffee very good work... )
Only fix wifi and d-pad and i am happy...
