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 (and a 32A version is available to test).
Things you should know...
- Contents are IDENTICAL to the MoDaCo Custom ROM versions 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, but it runs really sweet already IMHO!
The download link (in update.zip format for flashing in the usual way via recovery image) is at: http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-modaco-custom-rom-hero-to-sapphire-32b-port/
I've packaged Cyanogen's 4.1.11.1 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!

- Added Custom Locale for setting non english Locales
- Added android-wifi-tether 1.52 (props to the developer, this is a great app!)
- Added WMSM
- Added busybox 1.15 - tweaked such that 'get information' in Swapper now works as desired
- Added nano 2.09 - text editor for use in shell mode
- Added terminfo and settings to boot.img to allow nano etc. use
- Added tun.ko file (untested, please report on whether this is useful)
- Added files required for Debian linux
- Moved Quickoffice to data partition to allow easy uninstall
- 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!
Included in 'enhanced' version only
- Added Business Card Scanner
- Added 'Plurk' client
- Added WAP browser
- Added Chinese IME
- Restored Maps app (for users who cannot install it from the Market)

Is this ready to go as far as elimintating the blurry screen AND wifi ??
Just asking as the 1.5 and 1.51 both gave me fuzzys, and applying the update eliminated the fuzzys but took away wifi !
Either way. Thank You SOOO much I knew if I waited you'd give us something nice for the holiday !
You think a wipe would be needed going from 1.51 to 2.1?

to avoid any possible issues, I'd suggest a fresh wipe. I didnt add to much after the last rom I flashed so im gonna start over with my sdcard as well
A wipe is always wise, but SHOULDN'T be necessary...
P
Going to try this one now. How is the bluetooth support? Can paired headsets now actually work when calling?
re: support for ANYTHING other than WiFi and Camera (which both work), I don't know!
Let me know stuff that doesn't work, and i'll try to fix it in the next version.
Consider this a starting point...
P
For 32A I recommend the 2.6.29 kernel that redglasses uses on his Hero ROM:
http://www.2shared.com/file/7555649/5881ee4a/myhero-110.html
Might be stuck, d'oh!
So far, did a nandroid, wiped, etc. Updated, rebooted, and after asking for the language and network settings it's sat at a blank screen for some time. Status bar at the top, if left alone and hit the call button the dialer will appear and afterwards you'll see the unlock screen. But it just unlocks back to a blank screen. :/
So far this is the first ROM I've run into that's done this interesting bit. Will maybe reformat SD Card and rewipe, or something.
Nevermind. Rebooted, and it somehow proceeded this time around. Strange, though :/
dont really care for blutooth sound, but will it work for wireless tether ?? thats what I miss from using non hero roms.. having wifi back is also nice !!
Success!
Only noticeable thing is that when you go to far away from the home screen (going into settings, the dialer, etc), and return, it has to reload again for about 10 seconds. But once it's there it's fairly snappy.
Bluetooth pairs and works like it should! I might just hold onto this version of the ROM and tinker with it for a while.

have u messed with the swap yet ? 64/60 should help with that or 96/60 perhaps
i just flashed this and still am getting the fuzzys !! grr,, guess i have to flash the update over the rom and loose wifi ??
Modaco if you could shed some light it'd be much appreciated !
WiFi, etc works. Other problem : G Sensors aren't working D'oh

My swap's a bit rediculously larger. It's not that bad a lag, but only really noticeable when going back "home" from an application.
No swap or compcache etc. out of the box yet, let's fathom out the best settings together!
P
I'll upload a 32A version for someone to test...

modaco,
I am having all kinds of problems with this rom im still getting a blurry screen, it froze on me 3 times, im stuck in portrait and i keep getting the htc loading screen. I downloaded the file twice to eliminate possiblity of a faulty download as well.
mytouch...amonra 1.2.1, ext3. might have to go back to 1.51 that one worked great
I can confirm that this is running beautifully on my 32A device using redglasses/myhero boot.img and wlan.ko.
Seems to be significantly faster than the 1.73 builds, thank you modaco! Now you just need the 2.84+ build as well

Hi All,
Ive ran Deciest's ROM conversion script against the MoDaCo\JACSkiv port that Akirah did over in the Dream forum. Here
Its bloomin fast for me so I though you guys might like to try it. This is my first port so be gentle As usual Nandroid yourself up first
Info from MoDaCo Link
This ROM is based on a test version of the 'new update' (together with my own optimisations) for the best possible performance! As soon as the 'new update' goes 'SHIP' status, I will provide a new custom ROM.
- Rooted with 'adb remount' permission and superuser APK
- Quickoffice moved to data partition to allow easy uninstall
- Deleted 'Learn More' application
- Deleted Maps application - install from the Android Market to always stay up to date
- Added Jbed Java
- Added Business Card Scanner
- Added busybox 1.15 - tweaked such that 'get information' in Swapper now works as desired
- Added nano 2.09
- Added terminfo and settings to boot.img to allow nano etc. use
- Added android-wifi-tether 1.52
- Added WMSM
- Added tun.ko file
- Added spare parts
- Added Custom Locale for setting non english Locales
- ROM now includes 'Plurk' client
- ROM now includes WAP browser
- ROM now includes touch focus in Camera app
- ROM now supports shortcuts using BetterCut (and therefore I assume anycut!) in Rosie
- Updated A2SD (ext3), now runs on initial boot
- Used APN config file with additional APNs
- Preinstalled files required for Debian linux [edit: this seems to be broken for some reason, investigating!]
ENSURE YOU DO A NANDROID BACKUP SO YOU CAN 'ROLL BACK' IF REQUIRED!
A 'wipe' is MANDATORY when installing this ROM, and you MUST do this BEFORE applying the update zip (as the update zip puts files on the data partition)! I also recommend you install the latest radio from my 'update zips' topic if you have not done so.
Please note that first boot may take a little while, especially if you have a lot of apps on your A2SD partition. Be patient! If you want a real clean start or you have issues with your existing A2SD installed apps when you boot, you need to wipe your EXT3 partition on SD too by executing 'adb shell rm -r /system/sd/app', 'adb shell rm -r /system/sd/app-private' and 'adb shell reboot' wink.gif
The ROM is in an update.zip format for installation via the custom recovery image, I also recommend installing the latest radio. As always, do a Nandroid backup before you do anything... just in case! wink.gif
For the complete newbies, these are the steps you need to take with a 'virgin' Hero:
- Download the patched recovery image linked above and install as detailed in that post
- Download this custom ROM, and copy it to your SD card
- Enter the recovery image (if you're not in it already) by powering on while pressing 'home'
- Select 'nandroid backup' from the menu to do a backup
- If you copied the custom rom as update.zip, select 'apply sdcard:update.zip', else select the option below.
- all done

Are the instructions the same for the sapphire?
Do I need to install the linked Radio and recovery, or can i just install with my current set up (radio-2.22.19.261, recovery-RAv1.2.0G). The posted instructions are for a Hero, pardon my noobness.
No, I didn't do that. I posted the original thread for reference. I just did the usual wipe\factory reset, wipe ext2, flash and it was all good.
HTH
Kernel?
A or B
Is it the custom Jac kernel (B) or the HTC source (A)?
Awesome ROM, would love to test it if you ever released a 32A version
This rom have timestamp issues as well? I haven't followed Hero development for a while..

Thanks, so what CPU/Swapper settings are you using to get it running "bloomin" fast? Are you using cache2sd or anything else that you think helps?
I would like to know this too.
thanks in advance
So far so good..... testing now
Really FAST! ... thus far set up went blazzing fast, faster setup than ANY other hero, and I have tested them ALL
Will report once i run it ragged and see if it gets laggy
FYI
I have
-NO overclocker
-linux-swap size 64mb
Smooth!
I've had a few launcher loads, but that's OK when it's running this fast.
Typing is the most responsive I've ever tried - on any rom. But we'll see in a few hours
Great!
Good!
So far so good!
It's really fast!
thanks for your hard work!
Someone check the timestamps! There's no mention of them in either the Dream thread, or the original Hero thread.
Need to know if it's worth my time to port it to 32A!
Hi,
Sorry for the delay, long drive home.
I'm using the overclock widget set to 248/528 with screen on and standard speed with the screen off.
At the minute I have 96mb swap.
Loving this ROM can't wait for the official hero update if this is a taste of things to come.
Testing right now....looks really good so far. Great job! Keep up the solid work
mirror =]
Anyone feel like mirroring this? Hehe I don't have my laptop with me and I'm very eager to try this, but as you all know Rapidshare+Android=Epic Fail
Is this a port of the 1.5.1 or just 1.5?
This IS thee FASTEST, MOST RESPONSIVE Hero EVER!!!
It runs with NO htc or loading screens
I have ALL screens full with htc widgets (41 apps)
(Big calendar, message, mail, flip clock, tweeter, browser w/images, tech buzz)
VERY smooth transistion from screen to home when home button pressed.
Issues:
-BlueTooth does NOT work (pairs and connects, but no sound to headset)
-Flip clock does NOT flip (maybe not a issue, but an update)
Works:
-WiFi
-Auto Rotate
-GPS
-SMS (still testing) (time stamp accurate)
*Again I have a 64mb swap
*No overclocker
All in All .... BEST Hero EVER
I grabbed the .zip from the 1st post (MoDaCo-sapphire.zip), wiped data, and installed. Seemed fine, but then received constant 'force close' messages when first starting up. Also got the "blurry" screen of death MT3G
Anyone else see this behavior?

Same thing happened to me. I just now did a factory reset, booted to recovery, did a wipe, formatted the card completely, restored the image again and I'm booting up right now. I will follow up with the results.

I had same problem as yours.
But, I have my sd card partitioned fat32, ext3 and swap, and I haved used evilD's Rom.
According to his early comment, I'd better to format only ext3 partion everytime I flash new rom.
After format, the problems was gone.
This ROM was originally based on MyHero 2.0.2, but now is going its own separate way. This is (at least for now) still pretty much just vanilla Sense UI 32A ROM with just some minor adjustments to be more to my liking.
Now, let me thank a few people:
Big thanks to redglasses for creating and improving the great MyHero ROM, to hotweiss for the very same reasons with his HoFo ROM and to eugene373 for using my 32A kernel package with his Magic 3G UnI ROM and therefore making it easier for me in return to use it with the official Sense UI update.
Special thanks to Cyanogen for creating and sharing his kernel source code and to TigerTael for creating his 32A kernel offset patch.
Also thanks to Amon_RA, chris-steenkamp, eViL D:, maxisma, Radix999, bcrook, Qteknology and many others and of course to XDA itself.

If you like my work, buy me a Pepsi
v1.2
- Available as either a no-wipe update for 1.1.1 or full ROM
- New 2.6.29 kernel with BFS-313 and RNDIS wired tethering support (many thanks to Zinx and Cyanogen), logcat support enabled
- Because this update is 2.6.29 only, there's no bluetooth support AT ALL - if you need bluetooth, just stick with 1.1.1 as the changes in 1.2 are pretty much kernel related only anyway (but it should be possible to use 2.6.27 kernel package for 1.1.1 to "downgrade" the kernel in 1.2 to get bluetooth working, I just didn't test it yet)
- Added Wired tether app by harry_m
- Updated User Conf editor, Market Enabler and Wireless tether to their latest versions
- Pulse Clock add-on for all CaSense versions now available (not included in 1.2 by default), see below for explanation
v1.1.1
- Apply on top of v1.1 without wiping
- Misc. minor maintenance
- Linux swap (swappiness 30) now enabled by default if your third partition ( /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 ) on SD card is type linux-swap. I don't recommend using swap partition larger than 64MB.
- Added UserConf Editor 0.2 app by AndroidAppCritic for easier editing of user.conf file. Please note that user.conf is located at /system/bin/user.conf in this ROM, not at the default location this app expects it.
- Added some notification sounds and ringtones
- All notification sounds and ringtones converted to Ogg for better ring/notification response. After applying this update and rebooting, please verify ALL your ringtone/notification settings! That's the price of no-wipe update.
- Trackball glow notification (hopefully) finally works now.
v1.1
- Defaulting to kernel 2.6.27 from HTC sources now because of bluetooth issues with other kernels. Hopefully, this is just temporary, because it's slower. You can choose different kernel though, see below for explanation.
- Full Chinese support included in the main ROM this time - both localization and text input.
- Bluetooth should be working fine this time with the default kernel (both A2DP and HSP).
- A2SD disabled - there should be no more problems during first startup if you have ext2/3 partition. Ext2/3 support is still available in all the kernels, ext4 is supported only with 2.6.29 kernel.
- Alternative kernel packages will be available later (including logcat enabled kernels)
- Changes in the APN list. If it does not work for you, provide me the correct APN settings so I can change it.
- Removed Learn More (does anybody need it?)
- Spare Parts working now
- Added Blur animations
Known issues:
- Duplicated entries under ringtones/notification sounds.
v1.0
- Cyanogen-based kernel with BFS304 and my own config (new Case kernel v1.3)
- Root finally works! This means that everything that needs root hopefully works as well (wifi tethering etc.)
- LEDs, GPS, multitouch, camera, prediction works fine, as far as I can tell
- Protected apps should download from the Market just fine
- Multilanguage
- APN list for automatic APN config at setup. Added Vodafone CZ to the list, of course
- Log is disabled in the kernel for speed improvements. I can offer log enabled kernel as an update if there's someone who wants it.
- ROM is compcache/swap ready. I've disabled both by default, but you can easily change that in /system/bin/user.conf if you wish. I personally think that even on 32A, Sense UI needs some form of swap to run properly. YMMV. It should also be A2SD ready, but I didn't really test that - I don't use A2SD, as I think on 32A it just slows the phone down.
- Removed some apps I really don't use at all: AK Notepad, Stocks+widget, Footprints+widgets, Plurk+widget, KKBOX, HTC_CIME, HTC Sync. These are available separately as an add-on.
- Added some apps: Superuser permissions (of course), Market Enabler, Spare Parts (broken in v1.0), More locale, Wireless Tether. Apart from Superuser they should be uninstallable.
- Usual shell scripts available (rwsystem etc.)
- Bluetooth does not work properly.
- Chinese input does not work.
Kernel packages explained:
Apply the kernel package of your choice AFTER you've flashed the main ROM. No wipe! If you want to use the first, plain 2.6.27 kernel, you just need to flash the main ROM, it's already included in it.
2.6.27 - default kernel included in v1.1. Compiled using the official HTC sources. This package is provided so that you can get back to default kernel without flashing the full ROM if you've tried some other kernel package. Contains backported squashfs 4.0, loadable modules include compcache 0.5.4, CIFS support, IPv6 and quite a few other options. No BFS. Full (A2DP/HSP) bluetooth support with v1.1 ROM. Slowest of the three, but pretty much full-featured and stable (hopefully).
2.6.27BFS - Compiled using the official HTC sources. This kernel is pretty much identical to the first one, but contains backported BFS304. That means it's a little faster than the first one (YMMV), however, as BFS304 was never meant to be used with 2.6.27, it's also somehow unstable. The critical moment, as it seems, is during the "unlocking SIM card" phase on the first boot, especially if you've flashed the main ROM, addon package and kernel package in one go without rebooting. So, applying this kernel package over ROM that is already configured seems much safer right now. But as I've said - it's considered unstable, so bear that in mind. Full (A2DP/HSP) bluetooth support with v1.1 ROM. Most unstable of the three.
2.6.29BFS - Compiled using Cyanogen sources. This kernel is without a doubt the fastest of the three, however, as of right now, it doesn't support bluetooth. AT ALL. If you try to enable bluetooth with this kernel, it'll just say "turning on" forever and never finish. So, before applying this kernel package, make sure you've got bluetooth disabled (if you want to flash this kernel after the main ROM in one go, it's OK, bluetooth is off by default). This kernel is recommended for those that don't need bluetooth. Most advanced and fastest of the three.
log alternatives - They're the same as the plain kernels except with logcat enabled for debugging purposes, which means they're also a bit slower than the plain kernel.
Pulse Clock add-on explained:
This is just very minor add-on for all CaSense ROM versions. You just apply it without wiping over your current CaSense install. This add-on simply replaces the plain default Android analog clock I prefer to use (the widget available through Android widget - Analog clock, with the white "Malmo" clockface - not the HTC clock) with the analog clock from T-Mobile Pulse. I like the Pulse clock better and I think it fits with Sense UI much nicer than the default Android analog clock. YMMV.
Sounds interesting i give it a try and report back. Just in case , do you have a NON-BFS Kernel ? From my Experience BFS slows the UI down a lot :-( ... but i try first before i complain :-D

Yes, I can provide non-BFS version of the kernel (don't have one ready for my 1.3 kernel yet, but that's quite easy to fix).

Twitter widget is in the main ROM. However, the addon contains all the apps and widgets I've removed from the main ROM, so if you install it, you've got everything that's in the vanilla Sense UI ROM (and then some ). I've modified the text so it is clearer, it was a bit cryptical before, yes.
is this base on donut or cupcake?

Its build from myHero 2.0 which is cupcake, so don't think it include the donut since its not written
Hi Case_, finally ur own rom, been a follower to ur 32A kernel for LED fixes and stuff and I must say u have done a brilliant job for us 32A users.
I will be trying ur rom and hopefully trackball & LED works, as so far I can only get it to work with kingxxromxx's rom (something like that ).
again great expectation & congrats on grand opening
Great!!!
First of all this is great ROM, and thanks for that. I have been using MyHero with some mine modifications (removing some apks), this ROM is customized as I want.
Great work. Keep it that way.
Contains all the apps and widgets removed from the main ROM. Install from recovery after you install the main ROM. Do not wipe before flashing! Or just extract the file and push the apps to /data/app_s manually.
Click to expand...

sorry for being a noob, should i just push let's say, HTC_CIME.apk to /data/app_s without the need to install it from ASTRO?
also I think we would appreciate if u could include the best sdcard environment (eg. FAT32+linux-swap or ???) so i can use the same for best performance -> FAST
I wonder if for my 32A, do we still need a dedicated linux-swap as a 3rd partition on our sdcard? because sdcard with FAT32 only did work smoothly for me but I read everywhere else that addition 3rd partition will smooth things even more.....
pls offer me your 2cent

yes that is how you do it as posted in his first post:

Anyone get a chance to test bluetooth? That's the only thing holding me back from switching over to a hero ROM....
Hi Case_, thanks for your great job.
Can I ask what is the default range of CPU frequency?

sorry for being a noob, should i just push let's say, HTC_CIME.apk to /data/app_s without the need to install it from ASTRO?
also I think we would appreciate if u could include the best sdcard environment (eg. FAT32+linux-swap or ???) so i can use the same for best performance -> FAST
I wonder if for my 32A, do we still need a dedicated linux-swap as a 3rd partition on our sdcard? because sdcard with FAT32 only did work smoothly for me but I read everywhere else that addition 3rd partition will smooth things even more.....
pls offer me your 2cent

I think the only way to install odexed apps is directly, by using adb push, not with Astro or other app manager, but I may be mistaken. Anyway, you most certainly need to push BOTH HTC_CIME.apk and HTC_CIME.odex to app_s, otherwise it won't work.
As for the SD card setup, I'm using FAT32+64MB linux swap with swappiness at around 30 for some time and I'm quite satisfied with it. But for all the tinkering with ROMs and kernels and regular work I didn't even find much time to test compcache properly, so I can't really say that objectively what is best. And I certainly didn't have time to check the speed and memory requirements this new Sense UI properly.
However, as I've said, I find that Sense UI in general simply needs more memory, even on 32A (and even on Hero, according to my friend). Without swap i was quite often getting hiccups and slowdowns after only a few hours of use - even though I'm in the habit of closing the unneeded background apps regularly, I was still getting something like 20MB of free memory quite soon. And the phone doesn't really perform that great once you go below something like 25-30MB free RAM. Swap most definitely helped me to solve these issues and Sense UI runs great for me - no major slowdowns and need to reboot to clear memory for days, if I REALLY need to.
So yes, as I've said, I most certainly recommend at least some kind of swap for Sense UI.
the main mirror speed is quite reasonable
around 70-80k/s.
nice...
wanna try to flash the rom later tonite
In case nobody saw the DroidEris over at G1 forums, i will post it here for Kingsklick.
Android 2.1 with Sense UI - and may i add, the fastest one out there (faster than ANY hero ROM's ive tried, and with a few exceptions i tried them all).
This might aswell have been a HTC official release, i'm not kidding - it really is so fast.
Remember: Skip HTCsetup wizard, login to google via market

If you look at the first post, i've uploaded the files for you
i will get my NEW MAGIC in 2 days.. you got more time
can you upload some pics?
I've got this on my 32B and it really is the fastest "hero" ROM by far. However, I do have a problem, wifi doesn't work. My phone can see networks when scanning but I simply can't get it to connect at all.
Anyone know a solution?

reset your router..this should work.
Oh wow I am really tempted to try this now...guys is it really that fast?! Is this really that good that he is claiming that it should be official?!?! Im definitely getting excited..i may have to try this tomorrow
running it right now...
will report back tomorrow after using it at work and throughout the day...
initial comments is that it was alot faster than his aosp 2.1 port to 32b...this thing was blazing quick in the beginning...its settling down right now and is slowing down but still pulling through
and my trackball lights up ALL THE TIME
i dont know what notifications im getting but haha i dont care lol

I recommend that you setup your Swap settings with this info:
Swappiness: 40
Swap size: 96 MB
use Swap partition
Is swap required?
Have this running for 5 days now best Rom I ever flashed.

whats the best way to do this for this rom.... i tried using the user.conf method and it seemed to slow it down....
then tried the userinit.sh method and same diffrence
unless the user config files i have are just botched from old roms.....
also i tried a adb pull of the user.conf file and it said it didnt exist mounted/un-mounted didnt make a diff.

i would also like to know. the only other method that i know of is going through terminal, but everytime you reboot the values are reset and you have to manually set swappiness through terminal again.
I seem to not be able to mount the phone as a disk drive using this rom.

I used this, and it looks like it works
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​

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.

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.
James Carr
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!

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.

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 '!'

Hi!
I don't quite know how to start ;o) so...
This ROM is compiled from CyanogenMod 6, AOSP, Ezterry's and mine source code repositories . This ROM is not repackaged, moded, ripped, stripped, whatever version of any other ROM available on the Net.
Overview:
- 2.6.36.4 kernel from @Ezterry
- Native Apps2SdExt (also called Magpie) with Effdee fix (this also contains fix to pm/pm.jar used by f.ex. Titanium Backup when restoring app)
- xVold - mounts SdExt partition (if it exists) with data 2 SdExt
- Poor man SetCPU (as known from f.ex. Froyo by Laszlo) with safety valve logic by @hrk (CPU OC settings are not restored when phone crashes; you can safely try to push your CPU to the limit)
- CA Certs without compromised Diginotar keys
- CACertManager from Guardian Project
- long click on PowerWidget icon launches Settings (backport of CM7 feature)
- black bar theme (most of gfx were taken from @Sisterchick's themes but if you see your gfx used please let me know so I can give proper credits)
- uses AnyKernel so should boot on 2708/EBI0/EBI1 devices (tested only on 2708)
- stock Froyo Launcher (aka Launcher2)
- can use Swap or Compcache (both disabled by default and I don't really see the point of using any of them)
- no Gapps
2011.10.06 updates:
- Firerat's cache management ;o) script in /etc/init.d (https://gist.github.com/1182265)
- updated APN list
- Superuser 3.0 (upgradable via Market; please consider buying Elite version to show @ChainsDD some support)
Backports from CM7:
- RotaryRevamped, Lense and Ring lockscreen styles (Phone ui follows lockscreen style)
- Battery percentage on Lockscreen
- Restrict system packages to protected storage (this is security fix)
2011.10.13 updates:
- fixed bug in Phone app that caused crash when dpi setting were anything but 160
- fixed bug in Phone app that caused on screen Accept/Decline buttons not always show up
- Compcache/Swap is working again (note that activating/deactivating need reboot)
- Camera app with DCIM patch courtesy of @hrk
Known bugs/misfeatures:
The ROM runs perfectly OK without Ext partition. Only drawback is requester that pops up informing about unmountable SD card. What it's not telling is that only Ext partition is unmountable
No DCIM patch in Camera app this time (patch is against GB sources and I had no time to fix this; It's not hard just need time =o( This patch will make it into next release, sorry.
Apps2SdExt in this ROM is implemented at framework (system) level. Please do not use any scripts/apps that deal with applications installed on SdExt. Each and every application can be moved to and from SdExt using "Manage applications" under Settings. At some point in time I might add way to mass-move applications between SdExt, Internal and SdFat storages.

First install instruction:
1. Boot into Recovery
2. Make a backup.

4. Flash zip
5. Flash GApps
6. Reboot

1. Boot into Recovery

On first boot give the Dream some 10 - 20 minutes to settle.
Enjoy the ROM =o)

Well, that's still me ;-) Github already had an account for "hrk" registered a couple of days before I registered one ... a stupid unused profile...
Nice to see a Magpie'd FroYo ROM!
Will you add my own DCIM compliant camera patch?
Very nice job, thank you for the magpied froyo rom. I will try it in the next days.

If you had data 2 sdext and were using Magpied ROM, you might try to skip wiping SdExt. Not sure if this will work when coming from GB to FroYou but.... =o)

I used CyanogenMod 6 MDPI 20110501 from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps
I think that is the newest gapps pack for 2.2 Dream. Market is updating to 3.1.5 after first market open.
EDIT:
Anyone has a problem with random restarts?
I'm looking for a Stable ROM for my Brother, he's taking control of my OG G1 I like the settings back port. Nice touch, I'll check it out when my phone isn't needed.
thanks for this new modded cyanogen rom.flashed,booted and running normal.
love the honesty of it too, Nameless Froyo, laughed a lilwhen I saw the boot screen xD
OKKIE! D/L and flashed last night. Looking good at first glance. I love it.
Niceee! on the move apps to SDExt/SDCard options. Now I get to move everything to SDExt.
59MB Internal spaces free? WOW! I am loving this , still got that and more even after about 5 - 6 apps installed. Usually I ran out of room by now and had to decide which apps I want to keep.
GGRRRR! Just got my first reboot (just now). I hate when that happens. Got to figure out why it does that.....
Wifi, Bluetooth works well.
Network connection even works in the building at my office. (cool) I get a constant signal finally (well not it about 85% stable)
Overall the system seem to run pretty fast, we'll see how it deal with my usage...
Battery life with wifi on, and used not so good. But I guess that's how it is. I am used to constantly keeping it charged up anyway, so no worry there for me.
just started getting reboots. 3 in last 15 minutes.must find problem.
ok' ran this thing all day at work with no more reboots. don't know why they just stopped.lol

You find out let me know... Only one for me so far. For me I think it was when I have apps open and minimized in the background. (no sure though) I have not had any reboot since then. Hopefully it stay that way for me...
I've nbeen bootlooping for approx 30 minutes now...

WOW! Did you ever got to the lock screen at all?
What SPL/radio do you have?
---------- Post added at 11:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------
WOOHOOO! With thinning out the apps that I don't need, my internal spaces went up to 66MB, with 9 apps extra apps already installed.
Still running as fast as the first boot up. So far so good.
All those that have probs with random reboots pleas try flashing kernel from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14768272&postcount=2427
Theoretically they are the same (same sources were used) but Ezterry uses GB toolchain to compile and that might be the diff.
@Eutherin well you could as well hook G1 to some usb cable and grab logcat for me, right?
If you want to report a bug/bootloop/etc at least try to grab a logcat. This will help solve probs.
