[ROMs] JACxHERO 1.0 and 1.2, JACHeroSki 2.7.4r2 for Magic 32B

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
The 2.7.4r2 good idea, you make the port today ?

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).

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

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.

I love this black is a nice color! good **** twisted!

Thanks man. I was telling you before, all about the INVERT. Haha. Make it all black, hit invert, all white. Kinda had to go a bit grey though for visibility. I would have left Champion the way it is but I couldn't help it when I figured out that boot animation trick. Anyway, both downloads are live.

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

Sorry to be the first one to post that I cant get past the Hero boot. I wiped, then "rm" my ext4, then wiped again, then applied rom, 3 times now. but all get stick in hero boot. btw its the casper one.

[FIXED] [ROM] CyanogenMod 4.2.5 PLUS RAM hack, better a2sd, auto swap, nav/facebook

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

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.

[ROM]BoogieDonut.5 -Based off Dwang 1.17.1 w/ Cyanogen 4.2.12.2 kernel - 27 Jan 2010

hey guys...
Congrats on Hero_over on the retirement, but you didnt have to mention my name in your post. I dont even consider myself a ROM developer, I just made a nice rom thats fast and stable for me, and I wanted to share. I dont want nor expect donations. I just love this community and I figure maybe someone out there would like this ROM. Its all love though.
i have this rom that i've made and have been using for the past two-three weeks. as i've been going along i've been tweaking it to my liking, and its very fast for me and i have no force closes. i wasn't even going to post this rom, but i thought maybe somebody out there would like it.
First off: G1 (HTC Dream) ONLY!!!! They say it works for mt3g, so you can try but I made it for the G1.
its based on dwangs 1.17.1 rom.
i edited the boot.img to include cyanogen's 4.2.12.2 kernel ( NO ramhack, so you can enjoy 3D games and apps)
i added the black statusbar
added nano so you can edit scripts in terminal on-the-fly
ext 2 through 4 supported
automatic a2sd!
added meltus audio hack v2r2
edited alot of pngs.. themed STOCK launcher with nexus tray
eclair contacts.apk
youtube 1.5.08
eclair calculator
compcache working...
userinit.sh support in /system/sd/
updated market
like i said i wasnt going to post it, but i thought maybe somone would like it...so if u flash it. let me know how it works for you.
REQUIREMENTS
DANGER SPL and UPDATED RADIO (THE NORM)
ext 2-4 partition
swap partition if you want.
PLEASE WIPE DATA BEFORE YOU FLASH!!!
Sidenote:I never usually wipe my entire ext partition before I flash any ROM. If you have access to a linux box and sd card reader I usually just delete the DALVIK-CACHE folder and APP-PRIVATE... although my APP-PRIVATE is always empty. I think what causes the crashing at boot when you don't erase the ext is the dalvik-cache. I leave my APP folder and my userinit.sh there, and when I reboot and it dexopts all of my apps and when it finally starts up all my apps are there from the beginning. NOW! You might have to reinstall some apps which might FC when you try to run it, but you can easily with a file manager and browsing to /system/sd/app/ and reinstalling.​
But that's just me, I find that more convenient that reinstalling 111 apps one-by-one. If thats too much...
WIPE EXT PARTITION BEFORE FLASH.
ChangeLog-
Boogiedonut.5
Davilk-cache on sd card
Added latest WiredTether and WirelessTether, and the newer Terminal
Added transparent notification drop down
Fixed A2SD script to correctly run e2fsck
/system/sd/userinit.sh support, if not, then linux-swap if you have swap partition, or compcache if you don't
Reverted to stock Android bootsplash
boogiedonut.2
changed boot.img to use /etc/init.d as custom_init
turned on compcache by default ( 32mb disklimit ), if no /system/sd/userinit.sh present
changed status bar battery icon with default hero one
reverted back to nexus themed launcher, changed launcher background to darker png
edited phone.apk to replace all in-call screens with stock 1.6, (still eclair dialer)
added WIRED tether. works great, trust!
keep dalvik-cache on internal memory... ( i have over 100 applications on my sd, and have 29.50 mb free internal) - apps still on sd
BOOGIEDONUT.1
Added LatinIME.apk and reverted to working alarm clock
http://www.sendspace.com/file/ifr7oa
mirror: http://www.mediafire.com/?madu0lqmuyw
I'll also add the userinit.sh that I use for me it's makes it pretty fast, it just sets cpu max to 528, min to 384 Mhz. Compcache with 24 MB dize size, without swap partition. Backing swap with 16 MB mem limit, with swap partition, 30 swappiness. Just unzip then, adb push to /system/sd/.
Eclair STOCK theme'd launcher... I dont use advanced launcher, I'm pretty sure you can just "rm -r /system/app/Launcher" and then adb push advanced launcher to /system/app/ if you want to use that.

cool, ill be trying this, im always open to new roms

Nice
Very Cool. I had done something similar myself when I got tired of 3d apps not working cuz of the ramhack except mine was too buggy for my liking. I will try it out and see how the speed compares with dwangs/cyan's (came from dwang to cyan and not diggin it ). I'll post back with some results!
EDIT: Just installed and started playing around with it. Everything seems good so far. One thing is that i got FC on installation. I figured out that eventually when i got past the FC and activated that either there was a problem during setup that the keyboard IME did not get installed or you forgot to include them. No worries. I just pulled them from another rom and installed and all is dandy. Gonna restore some apps and see how that goes and give another update when I can.

i just got this error
E: failure at line 50:
symlink toolbox SYSTEM:bin/start
Installation aborted

If you had a backup, just restore from that and then you can check your radio version. Aside from that just make sure you wiped before installing.

It hangs on G1 screen, I have the latest radio and SPL installed.

you are right i did not include a keyboard IME. Myself I perfer the HTC_IME and it can only be adb installed to the phone, instead of being build into the ROM. If you want I can include a new version with LatinIME.apk included.

yes i have a backup im gonna try to reinstall everything from the begining and i wipe everything

did you wipe before you tried to install. also is you ext partition empty?

i just got it running my friend im gonna see how it works and how fast it is and if im satisfied well u can have a six pack o maybe a 12 lol thank you

I want to try this but absolutely need the alarm to work, lol. Can you post an update fixing the alarm?

Perfect ROM!Just what i needed.thank you!

feedback
Can anybody tell me if its faster than dwangs 1.17.1. Also any fc and is everything working on this build. Thanks. Oh and hows the battery life on this build cuz dwangs draining alot.

i fixed it in the boogiedonut.1 update as well as missing keyboard

Extremely fast.
But... I have a couple of problems
My Pro's and Con's
Pros:
1.Extremely fast, no lag on the launcher at all.
2. It even speeds up dolphin broswer for some reason.
3. Fast, fast, fast.
Cons:
1. Did notice only three homescreens, had gotten used to 5 but no biggie. Maybe an update if demanded by enough members?
2. Some of my widgets (Including Paid:Weather Flip clock) get stuck on updating. All Mippin mobile widgets get stuck on updating too. Edit: fixed with a reboot, sorry about that mate.
3. Missing spare parts, can I just add that in myself?
I'm running on 96mb swap, did a full wipe, came from Latest Cyan .12 I think.

Would like to see a 5-screens-launcher too.
Maybe you could integrate the Advanced Launcher (user can select the number of screens)

I'm for 5 screens, but against AdvancedLauncher. It has not been updated for a long time and seems to be slowing down the phone quite a bit.

I want to try this Rom but I cant download from sendspace. Plz upload it in mediafire.

[PATCH] WG Kernel with RamHack for King's 2.3

Hey all, there were requests for Wes' Kernel and the 10MB ramhack, so I thought I would try to entertain them. This will change out king's kernel in SenseHybrid 2.3 for Wes' 10MB RamHack kernel. This will also run 32MB of compcache on boot up, Swap partition is still required for A2SD. If you want to run a swap partition, I recommend EXT4 and to use Notepad++ (windows program for editing linux files) to change your /system/bin/user.conf
Now the fun part.
Instructions:
-Wipe everything! (This ONLY works from a fresh install!!!)
-Install King's 2.3 SenseHybrid (Please follow his directions.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563294
- Flash this update immediately after flashing King's rom (Do NOT reboot before you flash this patch!)
- Reboot and enjoy!
NOTE: PLEASE GIVE THIS SOME TIME TO BOOT AND TO SYNC. ALSO, DO NOT START SWIPING RIGHT AWAY AS THE PROGRAMS TAKE TIME TO LOAD. JUST LET IT SIT FOR A BIT AND BE PATIENT... Then it's pretty quick.
ChangeLog:
Updates user.conf (if you don't like it, change it )
Virtual mem settings adjusted
proc_cpu_en=0 # to save battery life
Updates Kernel to WG RamHack from latest Donut rom
Removes LinuxSwap in exchange for 32MB Compcache
Removes:
Meebo
HeroLED
AKNotepad
teeter
Adds:
Free Advanced Task Manager (Useful)
If you like it, then great! I've been experimenting with using different kernels on different people's roms. I'm new to it, but if anyone has any tips, they are greatly appreciated.
Red. (Testing out FireRat's 30MB ideas next... I just don't have a PHD in "Freakin' Awesome," so it's gonna take some time.)
PS. PLEASE DO NOT ASK ABOUT BT! IF YOU HAVE READ ANYTHING ON THIS SITE CONCERNING HERO ROMS ON A G1/DREAM THEN YOU WOULD KNOW BETTER AND WOULDN'T RISK BEING FLAMED.

Saved for any updates.

The link to the SenseHybrid thread doesn't work.
Also, you should try to work on hero 2.1 (new - DroidEris Legend ect) instead of hero 1.5 (old).

I updated the link in the initial post. Thank you. Other than that, I think there are plenty of good Dev's that are working on the 2.1 field. I am really new to this and do not have anywhere near the experience that they do. This was a request from another post that I had earlier. I like the 1.5 hero because of the almost full functionality (minus BT.) 2.1 is a great platform, but until the drivers are released, it is frustrating. I was beside myself when they were reverse engineered for the Camera app to be enabled. People here work really hard on these roms. In any event, I hope people will make use of this.

I just flash_image'd the boot.img on my installation... What are the differences in doing that over flashing the entire zip?

Too lazy to sift through all the other changes this patch makes in order to get wg kernel... 2.3 is fast enough

Now that im using this kernel, when ppl call me their name/picture doesnt show up... its as if i dont have their number, when i really do. it even asks me if i want to store their number after the call... so for whatever reason it isnt recognizing my contacts when they call. it does recognize them when i get a text.

Issue?

I didn't have this issue when I ran trials, but I will try to reload. Are you using EXT4 partition? You may also want to try to re-sync your information in Settings/Data Syncronization. Also, I just want to make sure that you installed this patch from a fresh wipe and didn't flash it over the other patches that I made (I noticed you tried the CM ones as well.)
Let me know if either of these work or help.
Red.

yes im using ext4 and yes i flashed it over a fresh wipe. when i make a call, the contact is recognized as it should, its just incoming calls that dont work.
i just resynced contacts and that didnt make a difference for me.
side question: ive seen it mentioned in other threads that you should wipe davlik cache, battery stats, and rotate settings in addition to the factory reset wipe and repartitioning. how do you wipe those first 3?

If you download Amon_ra's recovery and flash it, when you are in recovery mode, there will be an option under wipe. Still looking into camera issue.

No, you are not the only one with this issue. I flashed it two times after wipe. But the camera still broken.
