These are entirely unchanged from the ROMs on the thread over in Dream land below (apart from one small fix for Exchange in version 1.0)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534479
These are JAC and Drizzy's ROMs, not mine - all I've done is unpack the ROM, change one file in boot.img to make it work on a Magic, and then repack it all and sign it. So we'll forego the sigfile saying "if you like my work please buy me a Ferrari". However, this whole thing is a bit of a faffy operation and not something that's simple to set up (although is easy enough once you have everything you need in place) so I thought I'd share and save others the grief rather than hogging all the fun for myself.
These have come about because I wanted a Hero ROM, but wasn't entirely satisfied with the best one available for the Magic (Qtek's, IMO). It worked well, but the swap version dropped SMS messages sometimes, and the Compcache version was buggy, sluggish, and wifi didn't work.
JACxHERO seems to have a number of the same issues that Qtek has - dropped SMS messages (it seems that the lack of memory on the device causes the SMS/MMS process to die), and the Compcache version has broken Wifi. I said earlier on that I thought this version was oddly sluggish, but after setting up Compcache with backing swap I am loving it. By far the best Hero ROM on my own setup so far. No Wifi is a drag but I can live with it for now.
JACHeroSki 2.7.4.r2 in contrast is an older build, and one suspects they're using an older kernel; it has a working Compcache setup, but no conventional swap at all, and no multitouch. A good call if you have a slow SD card, can live without multitouch, and positively have to have wifi.
Bottom line as I see it:
Fast SD card? Use JACxHero v1.2. But you might lose SMSes (that said, no-one's reported any yet - I just worry about lack of memory issues)
Slow SD card but need wifi, and can live without multitouch? Use JacHeroSki 2.7.4 r2.
Slow SD card and want multitouch, or you insist on Compcache for other reasons, and not interested in wifi? Use JACxHero v1.0.
I personally am running 1.0 and after not being keen initially, it is growing on me and turning into a keeper. I only ever use wifi when at home and can do without it there, so it's not a problem for me.

JACxHero Version 1.2 - seems fast, but no Compcache
http://www.4shared.com/file/123726235/aa3ee695/jacxhero12-pn-magic.html
JACxHero Version 1.0 - Compcache, WiFi doesn't work properly. Works well if you enable backing swap and up the swappiness. See my user.conf on page 3 of the thread.
http://www.4shared.com/file/123729537/191c816a/jacxhero10-pn-magic.html
http://www.4shared.com/file/123821706/7250ac6b/jacxhero10-exfix.html (version with Exchange fix - I haven't tested this but it should be fine)
(version 1.1 didn't seem to be enormously different than 1.2; I did try it and have a working .zip but don't see much point uploading it)
JACHeroSki v2.7.4r3 - Compcache works by default, as does wifi. Note, though, there's no multitouch in the browser, which is a bit fail.
http://www.4shared.com/file/123798395/c61c220a/jacheroski274r2-pn-magic.html
NOTE THAT ALL OF THESE NEED THE USUAL THREE PARTITIONED SD CARD! i.e. fat32/ext2/swap
why have the v1.2 no compcache?
eljuego
As a note remember that JACxHero Roms dont have Compcache enabled by default.
The first post in the Dream Forum JacxHero thread tells you how to enable it - you need to edit the user.conf file, which i think is in /system/bin, can't remember right now.
It tells you which settings to change to get each combination of linux-swap and compcache
(BTW I know as it's working for me...)
Is it for 32A or 32B?
The rom for 32a or 32b ?

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

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

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

I thought you'd done your own boot.img hacking and were running this already..?
I have a 8Gb class 6 sdcard and it's really fast more than the qtek rom

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.
Does texting work fine on this ROM?

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.
PPS: to get this working with compcache instructions are in the first post of the dream rom

Should do, if you use the partitioning option on the recovery image, that'll wipe everything.

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

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

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

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

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

WARNING:You must Have The Correct Radio and Latest SPL! You can find them here (RADIO MUST BE INSTALLED FIRST) You can find it here
PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE FLASHING ANY ROM INCLUDING MINE IT WILL SAVE YOU AND OTHERS TIME AND HEADACHE!!!
First A big thanks to Haykuro for providing the system dump of the latest known Hero build. Great contributions from Haykuro always!!! Make sure to thank him!!!
This ROM is based off the latest "HTC" ROM leak 2.83.x.x with tons of mods enjoy!!
This is the same as the build posted in the dream section,we just wanted to keep the two threads clean so all MT3G/Sapphire Q: and problems should be posted here. As of now it works only on 32B but 32A kernal is being worked on so will be coming soon give ccyrowski time he is working hard for us.
NOTE: Once you flash before you sign in do the led fix in the instructions,also we recommend using ext3 and a 64MB Linux-swap partition.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Get 2.2r4, not 2.2a

No auto-backlight option after installing 2.2r4 and running the magic script.
I would suggest doing a Nandroid backup - just in case
Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?umznkzjtgdz
Someone mentioned a bug for a couple app crashes
All right, screw it. I am going to remove the CM stuff and just push the nav/fb, ram hack, etc as just an incremental update
To-Do:
Music.apk - Rewrite to ignore music less than 30sec long (aka voicemails)
BFS 310 Kernel with 10mb RAM hack (BFS 310 hasn't been tested by anyone else yet, why not try)
Add Fix_Permissions v2.03 (running the default 1.31 right now)
ZipAlign all apps (including Google apps)
[Suggest more!]
Converting from Cliq/Hero/1.5 - see below for instructions
Need Google Apps - see below for instructions
Includes:
10mb hack - working on adding bfs310 (seriously if you can help PLEASE DO)
Google Navigation works
Facebook included
Includes HTC IME
Clears cache of old files
Installs RA Recovery
MANY MANY TWEAKS
Adjusted a2sd (mt3g: one time copy from /system/sd to data for apps)
Note: this discontinues A2SD from then on for better performance after apps have been copied, am making script to copy back to SD
For fastest possible speed: have a swap partition on your SD card
The ROM will load a2sd for G1's
If you don't have /system/sd (and just swap partition), it will swapon to that
Trick is it utilises both Cyanogen's compcache plus the swap
Then with 10mb hack - hell this is a perfectly fast ROM
See at the bottom if you need Google Apps (starting on clean build or converting from any 1.5 ROM (Hero/Cliq) OR if you are starting with a blank phone lol (aka no system partition at all))
Hero/Cliq/1.5: Yyou will have to run the thing at the bottom for your phone to convert to 1.6 Donut - run that first, then run main zip).. if you still have probs see the bottom of this post
If you are switching from Hero or Cliq see the bottom
This rom does NOT include Google Apps
Install this first for Google Apps:
http://www.mediafire.com/?z3ozzmyzrad
If coming from Hero/Cliq
Run recovery mode
Hit console
Type these commands:
mount /data
cd /data/data
rm -r com.google.*
rm -r com.htc.*
rm -r com.android.*
Thanks to Cyanogen, Maxisma(for my base on a2sd), daproy (RAM hack),
Amon_RA (recovery image)

I remember reading somewhere that this will lead to problems, and should not be done. From my understanding you should use one or the other, not both.
(otherwise wouldn't we see alot more Devs using that trick?)
can a no wipe update be done from cm 4.2.5?
Thanks for you~
hey guys Good work
Only thing ive ever had come out of the 10mb hack was random reboots, random ringtones. phone ringing when noone was calling. crashing getting texts...
But thanks for the effort lol
Didn't work. Caused me to get stuck on G1 boot screen for an hour. Then totally wiped and again sat there on the G1 boot screen. What is odd is that for some reason my recovery image disappeared and went to JF 1.42 so I couldn't even use recovery. Now I am trying to get my phone back to the way it was.
Fortunately, I still had all the files I needed on my SD card to get me back to where I was. i reinstalled the recovery image and then was able to load my recovery image again. How it got to JF 1.42 (which hasn't been on the phone is many months) is beyond me. I have been doing phone mods for many years and this is the first one that didn't work out.
So, no go?
Unexpected end of Archive......
I tried to do the same thing (cm 2.4.5 + ramhack + swap) but got nowhere, system became sluggish. This should work very well in theory (this should be fast as dwang but with all cm goodies) but I haven't been able to make it work so I'm following this thread and see how it works.

i used to run CM 2.4.x with ramhack and swap no problem, but since 2.4.5 the ramhack slowed my system down so much i just decided it would be better to go without it

Looking into the G1 bug now, did you get a logcat?
Going to try to test on my old G1 in a few, if you have Wave get on there if you want to help debug

Yup no wipe
no work.
Did not work ... G1 stays in boot screen and reboot ...

Well with the newer compcache modules, it doesn't seem to cause any problems

Yea I am about to test on my G1 to look around for the bug - my main phone is my myTouch so I didn't test before I posted LOL - my bad on that (it is just in this recent version since worked fine on a friend's G1 before this post)
If you have wave, could you get on there if you want to help debug?
If you have a logcat, just post it here or on pastebin and shoot me the link on Twitter (@wesgarner)
One big thing I am trying to work on here is going through and doing some things Cyanogen couldn't do
Next version I am going to do zipalign on the Google Apps to post that (on a sep update zip for people who prefer to stay legal, hope I don't get a D&S - don't think anyone else has)
I am thinking about doing a choose your kernel like Cyrowski did here - good idea?
Please give any suggestions, this just seems a good way to do some playing around and experimenting that is a project by everybody - developers and users
Also, next project: Write a test into Music.apk to ignore files less than 30sec (I have my voicemails through Visual Voicemail and Google Voice)
It is annoying as crap! Going to get the GIT for Music.apk later today
Can someone mirror this or create a torrent? media fire is so slow today
Ok im seeding but warning if you go from 4.2.5 like me you may get a boot loop like i am right now good thing i backed up
Torrent link: http://bit.ly/blah234
guys this rom is ****. i flashed a number of times, then i wiped all partitions and tried again. dosent work just g1 boot loops, im going to stop seeding. dont trust this guy this rom is bad
LOL, dude, why are people keep thinking any Rom based on the same rom works better? Wake up people. If you use Cyanogen, use Cyanogen, If you use Dwang, use Dwang. any other so call hack does not make it better. Wake up, wake Up. Wake Up. LOL.
I have been using the so call Ram hack, it does NOT make it better after long hour of usage. It slows it down. At least on my G1. I reverted back to Stock boot img, it just WORKS.
Hi,
I have openrecovery installed on my XT720 but I want to know how I can install AOR.
Does I have simply to change openrecovery zip by AOR one or does I have to do another think ?
Thank you
unzip the openrecovery 3_3 thing. there will be 2 things inside: an update.zip and a openrecovery folder. copy both into the root of your sd card. then you computer will ask you whether you want to replace the openrecovery folder already on ur sd card, and you should click yes. once both are on, you are done. AOR is full of features, haha. i just learnt this a few days ago.

Thank you, I will try.
EDIT : It works good, I made a mistake, I deleted openrecovery.zip from sdcard, this file must stay or openrecovery fail and there is to pull battery to reboot.
Do you know where to find script to check sdcard error ?
its somewhere in AOR. just look around the AOR utilities thing. you should use zipalign. my phone feels slightly smoother. adblock works for most apps i think, except for angry birds and a few others. prevents these ads from loading up. they clutter the screen. you can also adjust the heap size in AOR. im using 40mb. heavy apps run more smoothly, but if u launch an app within an app, the original app might get killed because 40mb might not be enough to run 2 apps. but its ok for me. i dont usually do a lot of multi tasking.

I will try but for ads, I use droidwall, it's a firewall so, you can block 3g and wifi for each app.

Go to Menu Utilities and it is options 4 and 5. Scan disk and Scan sd-ext. I use both b/c if your partition is corrupted, it will show and try to fix it. I actually do this both before and after I flash a new ROM just to make sure it will "accept" the new ROM and also to make sure it has "accepted" it and that part is working correctly before I ever get into the new ROM.
Fix permissions works well too, btw. Also be careful messing with the VM heap size b/c most of our ROMs already have this paramenter set. It is usually on the front page of the ROMs description like on Kahl's V4 ROM for example. And one final, don't mess with the basebands, it will F%^& your phone up.
Sorry, this is the final thought. Make sure you are aware that the modding menus are based on Kernals, so most of the Froyo things, although we are on a hacked Froyo, probably won't work and may screw something up. The Eclair menu has JIT and Memhack, we already have those. They (modding menus) are mostly if you are running stock 2.1 or stock 2.2 (which no one is running stock 2.2 at this point).
