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:

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

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.

These are entirely unchanged from the ROMs on the thread over in Dream land below (apart from one small fix for Exchange in version 1.0)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534479
These are JAC and Drizzy's ROMs, not mine - all I've done is unpack the ROM, change one file in boot.img to make it work on a Magic, and then repack it all and sign it. So we'll forego the sigfile saying "if you like my work please buy me a Ferrari". However, this whole thing is a bit of a faffy operation and not something that's simple to set up (although is easy enough once you have everything you need in place) so I thought I'd share and save others the grief rather than hogging all the fun for myself.
These have come about because I wanted a Hero ROM, but wasn't entirely satisfied with the best one available for the Magic (Qtek's, IMO). It worked well, but the swap version dropped SMS messages sometimes, and the Compcache version was buggy, sluggish, and wifi didn't work.
JACxHERO seems to have a number of the same issues that Qtek has - dropped SMS messages (it seems that the lack of memory on the device causes the SMS/MMS process to die), and the Compcache version has broken Wifi. I said earlier on that I thought this version was oddly sluggish, but after setting up Compcache with backing swap I am loving it. By far the best Hero ROM on my own setup so far. No Wifi is a drag but I can live with it for now.
JACHeroSki 2.7.4.r2 in contrast is an older build, and one suspects they're using an older kernel; it has a working Compcache setup, but no conventional swap at all, and no multitouch. A good call if you have a slow SD card, can live without multitouch, and positively have to have wifi.
Bottom line as I see it:
Fast SD card? Use JACxHero v1.2. But you might lose SMSes (that said, no-one's reported any yet - I just worry about lack of memory issues)
Slow SD card but need wifi, and can live without multitouch? Use JacHeroSki 2.7.4 r2.
Slow SD card and want multitouch, or you insist on Compcache for other reasons, and not interested in wifi? Use JACxHero v1.0.
I personally am running 1.0 and after not being keen initially, it is growing on me and turning into a keeper. I only ever use wifi when at home and can do without it there, so it's not a problem for me.
----
JACxHero Version 1.2 - seems fast, but no Compcache
http://www.4shared.com/file/123726235/aa3ee695/jacxhero12-pn-magic.html
JACxHero Version 1.0 - Compcache, WiFi doesn't work properly. Works well if you enable backing swap and up the swappiness. See my user.conf on page 3 of the thread.
http://www.4shared.com/file/123729537/191c816a/jacxhero10-pn-magic.html
http://www.4shared.com/file/123821706/7250ac6b/jacxhero10-exfix.html (version with Exchange fix - I haven't tested this but it should be fine)
(version 1.1 didn't seem to be enormously different than 1.2; I did try it and have a working .zip but don't see much point uploading it)
JACHeroSki v2.7.4r3 - Compcache works by default, as does wifi. Note, though, there's no multitouch in the browser, which is a bit fail.
http://www.4shared.com/file/123798395/c61c220a/jacheroski274r2-pn-magic.html
NOTE THAT ALL OF THESE NEED THE USUAL THREE PARTITIONED SD CARD! i.e. fat32/ext2/swap
why have the v1.2 no compcache?
eljuego
As a note remember that JACxHero Roms dont have Compcache enabled by default.
The first post in the Dream Forum JacxHero thread tells you how to enable it - you need to edit the user.conf file, which i think is in /system/bin, can't remember right now.
It tells you which settings to change to get each combination of linux-swap and compcache
(BTW I know as it's working for me...)
Is it for 32A or 32B?
The rom for 32a or 32b ?

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

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

Am just downloading the final release of JacHeroSki - v2.7.4r2 - and will give that a try. I wonder if some of these new releases are a little too bleeding edge to be useful. If a worthwhile update.zip for the 32B emerges I'll post it here.

Ah. I have the stock 2Gb Vodafone pile of ****e (plus an "8Gb class 6" that I bought from ebay that causes a reboot loop on my Magic ). That'd probably be the problem for me.
Right chaps, here's another one for you. This is JacHeroSki version 2.7.4 r2. Someone else here has done JacHeroSki previously*, but I don't think they ever updated to the final release. It's a little behind the curve in that JAC seems to have gone on to work with Dizzy, and in a different direction, and it won't see any more development. It has working Compcache, but lacks the fancy config scripts of later builds. If you want to play with your Compcache settings, you need to edit the a2sd script in /system/bin. No conventional swap or facility for one. I'd say this is pretty much where Qtek was trying to go with his Compcache ROM though:
http://www.4shared.com/file/123729537/191c816a/jacxhero10-pn-magic.html
Am not sure I'm going to stick with this, however. I've just seen in the thread on the Dream forum that you can get Compcache working in JacXHero 1.2 by nabbing the boot.img from 1.0, so I'll give that a go too. What I'd really like is a working ROM with Compcache and swap as a backup.
edit: * speak of the devil, it's just turned up on the front page of the threads, they did do the final release, but it was for 32A not 32B. Oh, and am very disappointed to find no multitouch in the browser.

Honest answer? I don't know. I got a couple of text earlier when running JACxHERO 1.2, and I was hammering the browser at the time (if icanhascheezburger.com isn't going to run you out of available memory, I don't know what is). But I think a definitive answer will have to come from people who text more than I. Unfortunately texts seem to be an issue on all Hero ROMs on the G1 and the Magic 32B, because of memory - hence why my goal is to get a build with as much "memory" as possible, even if most of it is swap and compcache sleight of hand.

Which one? I found I had to completely clean off my ext2 partition before it'd run (coming from the Qtek ROM). Well, actually what I did was go into the recovery console and shift everything the Qtek had left in ext2 into another directory so that this ROM didn't get confused by it

If you were coming from Qtek's Rom, like I did, It does boot loop unless you clean your ext partition first, then wipe and reinstall the rom. It runs like a champ.
to erase the ext: boot into recovery
then from adb shell : run
mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
rm -rf /system/sd/*
then do whats stated above and no boot loop anymore.
PS: Loccy thx for the port.
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).
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.

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

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.

Good **** thanks manup. Will you be adding BFS-300 to this tonight?
Omg...cant wait for 32a version ....STILL !!!!!
rebooting with new remix rom
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.

Not sure bro I have been using it since yesterday on a fresh fromat and install and its been really good for me so yeah I would def give a fresh format and install.

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.
I am helping as much as I can but cc is killing it with all his new work and mods mike's user.conf is also amazing.

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?
tia,
-dana
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?

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?

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.

LOL i am a twitter addict and have it refreshing every 5 minutes haha
And which is the default frequency? 528? Or...
Anyway, flashing right now. I LOVE ur Roms.... hehehe
Just flash.
I feel abit slower than cm5.0.7 test3.
Thanks for the hard work.
Hello New Thread.
I kinda figured you fell asleep last night Kolohe. I will check your beta when I get home from work later today and put up the mirror. I am going to keep your old ROMs up there too
got a question.
Did a total wipe and when it booted up first time, I got a low space warning. Apparently a whole bunch of my apps that were on SDcard came back as installed. And because on first boot, apps2sd isn't on yet, it tried to put them on internal (I had about +/- 80 apps come back from my 139 total)
So I backed out, rewiped data, dalvik, and ext, and reflashed rom. It boot up fine again, but once again, it immediately installed 7 of the apps (replica island, docs to go, pobs... just to name a few). So I moved them to sd card and all is fine.
The question is:
1. Is this normal? I've never had this happen before CM5 based ROMs. I haven't tried any other Eclair roms except the CM5 based ones and I wasn't sure if this is a behavior that's normal for 2.1 roms.
2. Why only some of the apps come back? Isn't wiping ext supposed to clear it all out or am I mistaken?
Just wanted to let you know, there seems to be a problem with using Backup for Root users. It will break any apps allready installed and fix_permissions or Repair ext will not help, I have found this to be true on all CY5 based roms.
EDIT:Restoring SMS,Call log and even Market DB seems to work fine after running Fix_permissions, Restoring APPS Does Nothing.(No APPS Restored) It Was trying use the Dusted-donuts hack that caused the apps to be Broken.
EDIT:::: The problem WITH APPS NOT WORKING APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY ME TRYING TO USE THE JIT HACK "DUSTED-DONUTS" LIKE I DID WITH 4.1. I believe the JIT Flash Update for Cy5 will work though.
EDIT: JIT-HACK It does work.http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=245 this is what i used.
Thanks again for a great rom!
This thing Flies!
I'm using the Jit-Hack And AnyKernel OC Patch,changed swappiness to 95 in 86supersettings,and cpu refresh to 1000000(kills batt),and Cpu Min/Max to 122800/716000. Still using SetCPU for Sleep/failsafe Profile.
EDIT2: I just noticed that at the initial google sign in screen you can press menu and in addition to the normal Wireless settings option there is now an option to disable auto restore!( I know you probably already knew that and it has been mentioned a hundred times!)
well gonna give this a try let u know soon for any bugs
To confirm this is JACP?
Watching logcat I saw that debugger daemon is enabled. I/Debug.
and is this based on CE-5.0 t2? or are patches for T3 in place?
quick question:
If I extracted the boot img from this rom and flashed it with my currently installed CM 5.0.7 test 3 would it still have the same speed boost, optimization, and cache clearing settings?
Not that I don't want to flash this rom itself, but I was just wondering if I could also try out the features with another.
Will fix the apparently problem but that might be caused by thenew boot script that wipes the dalvik cache. .. will be working on that later today

You can I suppose,
Just needs to be a CM5 based rom

Also as a side note, I think apps2sd must be enabled by default,or get rid of the auto app restore thing. I think it is going to confuse people and clutter up the threads.
But thanks again for a great rom!
