Port new rom to 32a magic....

looks like there is a new update for hero phones...can it be ported for 32a boards?
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...018/02-09-1-5-modaco-custom-hero-rom-is-here/

I don't understand what's so special about this ROM.
I was reading the description and among all there's one application (that you can get it apart of this ROM) and that's it..
I know who can port it, I don't but, why you want it so much?

Is this the update that made hero smoother?
You linked to a ROM that has nothing to do with hero update.

Invalid link source.
That doesn't have much to do with the described topic.
I was willing to provide some assistance, however - I was misled.
Thanks, but no thanks.

New Rogers Magic, ROM worries

would someone mind giving me the short on this. I have a 32A board, and all I want is a 1.6 ROM with the new text to speech features. Not sure what I can and can't do, seems like root is an issue (I tried already with the quick unlockr site) and seems like I can only load certain ROMs. Any advice would be great
thanks

Text to speech is just a standard Donut feature.
nk02's 1.6 has a 32A patch in the thread, Amon_RA's 1.6 has a 32A version.

I also HIGHLY suggest Amon_RA's 1.6 ROM. This is the best Donut I found for my Rogers Magic.
About rooting, there is a lot of infos over those forums and over the net. If the one click root dont work, try the "long" way of doing it, if you follow steps carefully, you should have no problem.

[Important] All Kernel builders/ROM developers read this!

I posted this in the sapphire development forum, but it applies to here just as much as it explains how you can make your kernels work for all Rogers Dream and 32A Magic users as well.
For anyone who builds kernels - I highly recommend you read this!

If you're not a kernel dev - but happen to have a Rogers Dream or think it'd be great to have more people using a particular - then pass this link above onto the person who does.
Hopefully it will mean better and more unified kernels in future!

2.1 ROM question

What is the best rom currently running off the 2.1 software? I am fairly new to modding my mytouch 3g if you can't tell, I've got the latest CM build, latest radio, and am currently researching SPLS(Best SPl download and how to apply would also be a fun thing to add to your help)

From: Rom Devs read this before posting!
Please categorize your question accordingly, Anaylize which forum to post it
Development forum is only for development of phone OS related stuff
Q- Which ROM is best for me/ Which ROM is the best for 32A/B?
A- Take some time on the forums, look at the ROMs available for your device and individually assess what works for you by reading the various issues affecting them and make a decision. If that still doesn't work out for you, hey, that's what makes XDA great, try a different one and so on, till you find one that YOU'RE happy with. It's very subjective since what my needs are could be totally different from what yours are.

Thanks for the reply. To run a 2.1 ROM you need Danger SPL, which is supposed to be 1.33.2005, yet mI have the Hboot. How do I get the latest Danger SPL? I have the 2.22.23.02 radio, and the latest CM build currently. I'd like one with all the features of 2.1 without any problems in the wifi/bluetooth/camera/sms and mms areas.

Don't install the Danger SPL, that is for the G1. Get haykuro's SPL (the one in my signature), it works with all roms.
The instructions here are the ones I used:
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magic_Rooting

I followed a guide and installed it onto my phone perfectly(At least from the fact I see1.33.2005 in the Hboot section of my fastboot screen), all I need now is to find a good 2.1 rom and I'll be set.

G1/MT3G Video Drivers fo Eclair

If this is in the wrong thread I apologize. I didn't know if I should post this in Q & A because its a question relevant to something developed, I also didn't wanna invade anyones ROM thread.
I am creating a ROM which is a fusion of the Droid and Nexus one for the G1/MT3G. I am learning how to create ROMS and have been able to search and solve alot of problems on my own. This one however has me stumped and I've searched through a hundred threads but it seems no one is interested in this information but me.
Would someone explain to me how to implement the graphics driver that was designed for the G1/MT3G for Eclair 2.1. I can't seem to find any documentation/posts about how to implement this so that the camcorder works and the 3d gallery, those are my last 2 obstacles. I know ROMS such as CaNNoN202 Complete Eclair 2.2.1 or CyanogenMod-5 have it implemented. I have even looked through the ROMS but haven't found the drivers and have no idea where they would be.
If an experienced modder could help me get on my way to becoming a allround dev, please explain a few thing to me like in a pm or something. Like if they are kernel specific/dependent, what scripts are needed for the drivers to install, etc..
Please any help is very much appreciated.
EDIT:
I found a thread where CE developed a patch for his ROM which adds the support for 3D to the G1.
Gonna see if I can implement it that way. I will post results if I find anything.
Any info is still very welcome

Are you trying to build your own kernel or just a rom? The only reason you would need the drivers is if you are making your own kernel, which by the way you ask, I doubt you could do. Nothing against you, its just not easy.
Any kernel (mostly Cyanogens) has the drivers implemented after version 5.0.4 i think. You can just strip the boot.img out of any of those roms and slap it into your rom till you get it all to work.
Once you do that, then you may have the problems of no BT or wifi.

Yea I have been exploring these ROMS and seen the extra libraries and patches that have been implemented, but I haven't been able to get someone elses kernel to boot my ROM.
I have used the tutorial on theunlockr to set up a kitchen and been able to modify alot, but I am missing the true functionality of these ROMS if I don't understand the kernel and libraries that allow for these patches.
I think I am going to set up Eclipse in my linux and slowly learn the process of actually building these ROMS from scratch, I know its difficult but I'll search through old examples until I get on my feet.
Thanks for the info. If any ther experienced ROM maker has any tips to share I thank you in advanced.

The drivers you are looking for are in /system/lib
Note that in some cases, preload memory offsets need to be manipulated.

Hey thanks for your info/help
I figured the libraries and modules needed to be ported over as well, didn't know anything about the memory offsets
I am trying to port Cyanogens kernel+system/libe+modules offer, hopefully it will fix all issues.
Will post update. Thanks you guys for helping a noob I'm really trying to learn and its very tough
Edit:
porting kernel either ends in bootloop or it ends in the settings and fc's like crazy
If I apply my modifications to cyanogens rom, the live wallpapers break, this is so wierd!
