[ROMS] dwang v1.13, cyanogen v4.2.5 w/nav,fb,wifi tether [11/22/09]

Didn't want to steal anyone's limelight. So here is the deal, these roms are purely for the newbeez that just want to do everything the easy way. As you already know dwang's current rom v1.13 navigation already works. However I added Facebook, and Wifi tether. Nothing a person cannot just push onto the rom, but nevertheless this is just another option. I am also including cyanogen's 4.2.5 with Navigation and Facebook, and WiFi tether. Nothing most of you probably do not already have, but like I said another option for the beginners that just want something that works.
Hey guy's I did this because I was bored and waiting impatiently for Eclair.
*I understand a lot of you cannot download these files, if any of you have the time and know another media sharing option please include them for others to use*

Note: Just thought I would mention, everything works on the cyanogen rom, just seems like the setup time for the navigation takes longer than expected. Just have some patience.
Please give thanks too:

Thankss dude!!! bout to flash asap!

Thanks for the contributions. I am looking forward to seeing something like this on a rom that does not make use of the 10MB hack.

Worked good on my G1 after wiping. Came from CM.

Yes I can explain go to ip894's tutorial, that is how to do it without doing a fresh install. I merely followed his tutorial, used the fastest donut rom on the planet, and made the changes accordingly, put the maps app from the droid dump, into dwang's donut rom, changed the build.trout.prop to make the dwang donut rom think its the verizon droid. I then resigned the rom, and uploaded it for everyone to try it out.

THANKS bro greatly appreciated

just flashed this ROM. looks like it's working. haven't tested it on the road, but the navaigation launched successfully. thanks so much for this.

same here it worked on my mt3g

Thanks

Hey bro thanks a lot.... downloading right away.... it 12:05 am.... got office tomm bt cant wait to flash this

Downloaded and flashed at work, and it's beautiful. Thanks Tommy!

As I found that this is a complete ROM that would erase my theme I prefer to setup the navigation manually.
Through adb in Recovery mode you just need to push three files from this package:
build.prop and build.trout.prop to /system/
and Maps.apk to /system/app
Just to be sure I've erased the dalvik-cache directory content.
Maps app is working fine although I can not use Nav cause it is not working outside US (for now ).

help help please
hey i um had cyanogen mod 4.3.2.1 right then i wipe then flash with this rom but the android logo pops up but um it doesnt boot up??? please help what do i need to do please help

OP it would be awesome if u just made a patch. So it wud only replace/insert files needed for nav to work. Just my 2cents.

Read the topic - it clearly says GM w/N on DWANG.
This package is whole Dwang 1.11 ROM with modified files to enable navigation (that is only active if you are in US network).
Have fun with reinstalling CM or wiping the settings to have Dwang's ROM working.

Hey this is the steps I took to get this rom working.
1. I mounted my sdcard, and erased everything off of it.
2. I did a wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode.
3. I wiped the ext partition
4. I wiped dalvik-cache
5. I repaired ext partition
6. I then wiped the data partition again
7. I then flashed the new rom
8. I then rebooted
If you follow that, I pretty much promise it will work.
Do not bother with any of this unless you have the correct radio, and spl!!

Now we need to get Voice search working so we can say "Navigate to Blah blah"...and it opens up google Nav

[ROM-DEV] Android 2.0.1-r5v0.6 (Dead)

Android 2.0.1-r5v0.6
Dead:
==============
After spending some time and looking over this rom and ways to make it work with out any legal issues. The most viable option was to build something like what cynanogen has built. His process takes the proprietary bits (all google apps including sync) and copies them off onto the SD card before doing a update. After the update it copies them back to the newly installed rom. This method basically does a automated backup/restore of your licensed applications. I can't do this for several reasons including that we are supposed to be coming from a 1.5 OS to a 2.0.1, which isn't compatible with the older application set.
Temporarily Offline:
==============
I am sorry to have to do this but we are now having more then just a small handful goofing with this ROM and I need to take this offline while I inspect each of the parts and make sure all licensing is in order since its a bit more then the google Opensource framework. I know that several other ROM creators have not paid much attention to it as I am going to now but I really don't want to upset any IP holders like what happened to Cynanogen a couple months back.
I will put it back up but I want to make sure that I am totally covered and don't have any issues.
version 0.6: download (offline)
==============
-fixed wifi thanks to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593620
-Now starts up with Android stock keyboard. (No longer needs HTC_IME.apk for second keyboard)
A few have asked for this ROM so I thought I would put it up here for anyone that wants to contribute to or take from it.
This ROM is only compatible with the Sprint CDMA HTC Hero. It is not finished and still requires some work but its good enough for my day to day use and I am sure others may find the same potential.
This ROM is vanilla android and what it takes to actually get it running on a CDMA phone. It is built off of this GSM variant. I am going to try and work to remove the google bits so that you can use Cynanogens method of extracting your own and then doing a follow up update to install them. My efforts for this is not to build a better rom but to build a cleaner base that has limited to no proprietary IP.
Credits to all on this forum how have helped or contributed in any way to building the roms that are here. I would point out names but there are to many to name. I am positive that anyone that pays attention to this forum will know who you are. I used many parts of these ROM's and many others on XDA to build this one.
This is my first ROM and was primarily made for myself to help me learn how to create a custom ROM.
Here is the link to my blog where I originally posted about this and a video of it booting.
Here is the Youtube video of it booting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRTh-rXKe-E
*Warning*: Don't attempt to flash this ROM onto anything else unless you know what you are doing! I am not responsible for any device malfunctions or "Bricks".
Notes on Installing:
- Run a Nandroid backup before you do anything.
- Make sure you do a full wipe first. (Sorry )
- Run the update zip found * Version 0.6 *(offline) from the recovery console.
To get the HTC keyboard installed: (Now Optional as of Version 0.6)
- Follow the instructions here.
Things that don't work:
- Gallery some times has issues.
- Camera
- Wired or Wireless Tethering (Now Testing)
- Orientation
- Trackball light
- Trackball click (Rolling and moving are fine)
- (Let me know if something else needs to go here.)
Possible issues that are not repeatable:
- speaker not working on out bound calls? I made 30 test calls to my home phone and was not able to replicate this issue. Needs to be verified (see here)

Let me know if any of you have issues flashing. I still have it all right here in front of me if I need to make a change.
FYI: The first boot takes for ever as it registers all the APKS.

So you installed both the HTC_IME.apk and the Clicker.apk? Did you do a adb push or a adb install?
Try and go into settings --> Language & Keyboard --> Touch Input --> Text Input?
I think its a force of habit with out really thinking to go there and calibrate but just going there may help.
Try that and let me know.

i just flashed it and pushed the keyboard and calibration app through adb and all is well. its working awesome. Thanks!!!

I would do an install or transfer them to your SD card and grab a app like Astro from the market to install them. Don't worry we will get you worked out.

Thanks, but I really can't take to much credit. Its a "Pick and Pull" from several ROMs. This one actually came from our GSM Brothers and then I used the CDMA tricks in this form to make it work.
I keep watching and playing with the Google Nexus Dumps. I would really like to get one of them up and running.

Based on your posting and replies I assume you are re-using the 2.6.27 kernel like the other roms?

Wow thats allot in a little space.
What I gather is that it originally booted, then after trying to install via droid explorer and then astro it now just dies after the lockscreen.
I am not sure where to start. I would just say to do a full wipe, then a clean install. Then if you have the sdk try the ADB install method as Cynanogen's post talks about.
I am working on trying to get the stock Android keyboard to work. If we can figure out that then we don't have to mess with the HTC one.

ok i got it i just adb pushed them to system/app works great

Yeah, actually some of your work if I remember correctly, thats why its got the same issues. My first goal when I built this for my self was to get past the blasted google bits sync loop. The more I worked into it the more I moved on to the 2.0.1 build with some of your stuff in it.
Your welcome to anything I have learned, its really not my work.

[ROM] Pancake 0.1

Here it is! Pancake! Based off Gumbo, it's one of the fastest Cupcake ROM's for the Sprint Hero! It includes some must-have applications, like wifi-tether and a file manager, and has apps2sd enabled. In order for APPS2SD to work, you must of formatted your SDcard to fat32 + ext2 + swap. To do this, simply boot into recovery, copy all the files you want to keep to your PC, because this WILL FORMAT YOUR SD CARD! and then press 'Part SD: fat32+ext2+swap', copy your files back onto the SD card, and reboot. This boot might take longer than usual, while it copies all your applications to your SD card. Enjoy the ROM!

Well, I would test it out without a wipe, but if it gives you errors, wipe. Let me know how it goes. As always, let me know if you want anything, I'll be very happy to change stuff or add things for you.

didnt do a wipe.so far so good.uninstalled setcpu as well.uninstalled the stock sprint app's too...not im looking for a transparent lock screen and transparent notification slide down menu thing,just like the ones in fresh..will keep updating.
EDIT:i tried like 3 times to delete the stock app's through fresh's kitchen,phone reboots but app's still installed.

I hqve found that the fresh kitchen really only works for fresh app uninstall, it doesnt work on modaco either.

So, fully understanding I should know this, but what is the difference between having SenseUI and not?

Basically, if you want the pretty stock home look, you want SenseUI. If you want android's stock home screen, get the nosense package. You could pretty much try both and see how you like each one.

Could we drop all the sprint apps except sprint navigation? Believe it or not I use that on occasion because so far I haven't found a google maps app for 1.5 with TTS. Also if you wanted to integrate 'swype lite' as the keyboard, that'd be cool too, otherwise I'll just install that later.
I'll be flashing this for the first time later tonight, MoDaCo + Gumbo's kernel has been working for me, but I'm feeling the urge to switch it up again, and anything faster is good!

[PATCH] CM Kernels 10MB-RH and NON-RH for King's SenseHybrid 2.3

Hey all, this is a patch that will change out the kernel for King's SenseHybrid 2.3. I use this rom pretty much daily. It is a cupcake based hero, just this update speeds up the performance a bit.
Instructions:
-Wipe everything!
-Install King's 2.3 SenseHybrid (Please follow his directions.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563294&highlight=SenseHybrid
- Flash this update immediately after flashing King's rom

Updates Kernel to CM 4.2.15.1

****I just posted a 10MB ram hack version in the thread below. It uses CM 4.2.14.1 with CFS instead.****
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.
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.

Sounds good I was going to flash the sensehybrid soon anyways so this sounds perfect.

Wait a few minutes..
If you can hold off a bit, I am also making a 10MB ram hack version with CM 4.2.14.1 CFS. Just testing now.
Red.

CM 4.2.14.1 10MB Ram Hack with CFS
Here is another one that you can flash immediately after flashing king's 2.3. This uses the 4.2.14.1 CM kernel and the CFS 10MB ram hack. I absolutely hate BFS on G1/Dreams! Anyways, this one should run faster. I would also look into the thread that has been posted recently about speeding up hero roms and change the line in your init.rc to keep rosie in memory. just copy the init.rc onto your sdcard and edit it with notepad++ (windows program, it is great!) and then copy it back to your root over the existing init.rc and reboot. (if this is complicated, then don't try it.)
Otherwise, Enjoy!!

will this work without an ext/swap partition?

Without ext partition...
Honestly, if you are using the Death SPL and you are running this with my ram hack, you should be ok. Unfortunately, the compcache on King's earlier roms are usually broken. I tried pushing ramzswap from the CM kernel and still no luck, but then again, I'm not as savy as some of the other dev's out there. You will just have to edit the user.conf after you finish flashing the two, you want to do the following:
First, before flashing you want to pull the user.conf from the system/bin/ directory in king's zip file. edit the user.conf using notepad++ in windows and change the linuxswap=1 to 0 so that it turns it off. then copy that file to your sdcard.
immediately after flashing the two files,
-go to console from the recovery and type the following
mv /sdcard/user.conf /system/bin/
reboot
this will disable the linuxswap and then you will be able to run the rom. But again it would be better with a swap partition.
Hope this helps.

Also, does multitouch still work with THIS patch?

boot loop...

?
Chabsie, telling me u got a boot loop doesn't help me resolve the problem much. You must have DeathSPL for this rom, Must be full wipe, and EXT4 partition. If that doesn't help, please list the stats for your phone, which hack u are using and where your issue occurs.

HTC developed the sense UI and this port is from the HTC Hero or the earlier Droid Eris (Prior to upcoming update from Verizon to 2.1.) Both of those phones use Cupcake as the base and then Sense UI is just a pretty cover for it. The kernel I used is from CM's Donut based roms, which is more than compatable, but again, the framework and ramdisk and everything else reflects a 1.5 environment. Enjoy the patch.

This is the Wes Garner Ramhack. It should be slightly faster. I think that you still need to have a partition though because of the apps to sd. You would have to do complete wipe for this one again.

[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

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.

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.

Well props to you on your work, I know people still use 1.5 sense I was just making a suggestion.

Lol.

I'll get there someday. Everyone might be on a different phone by then, but I'll be in the game for a while. Thanks again!

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.
