[PORT][32A][Old radio]Kingclick's Hero Eclair 1.3-EXPERIMENTAL, working 3D (1.3.2010)

For the last couple of days I've been trying to get Eclair 3D acceleration running on 32A with old radio. I was somehow succesful so I decided to release one Sense based ROM port and one "plain" Eclair. I had succes with other ROMs though (not all of them, but a few).
This ROM is highly experimental! So bear that in mind. The only testing I've done is here on my own Magic - I am not using any ext3/ext4 partition for app2sd, for example, so I'm not sure how it behaves if you use one. I can't say I would recommend it for the daily use, it seems too unstable/unreliable to me, but YMMV.
I've added a few things here and there that are essential to me like Market Enabler, More Locale 2, some ringtone and notification files. I've also changed the default analog clock (the Android widget, not HTC widget) to Pulse clock.
Thanks to:
Kingclick (obviously), ahmgsk, Cyanogen and all the other devs working on his kernel source, Amon_RA, all OpenEclair devs, polyrhytmic, dzo, vilord and many others.
What seems to work:
- 3D acceleration works for the most part. Meaning that from what I've tested, I can get Neocore (about 22fps in benchmark), Radiant, Armadillo Roll to run, but iDracula doesn't run for some reason (at all).
- Multitouch works. Multitouch enabled Google Maps 4.0 (by brut) included, the vanilla ones do not have working MT on this ROM.
- Camera works, including touch to focus - no video recording, though
- Youtube normal quality works
- Video playback works at least to some degree - I can play back videos recorded earlier with my phone
- GPS and accelerometer should work
What seems not to work:
- YouTube HD. Sorry.
- Bluetooth doesn't work at all. You can't even enable it, so don't try.
Known Issues:
- Rather slow on startup. Give it time to start up fully, even after you see the home screen. You may even get a few "App not responding - FC/Wait?" warnings - just click on Wait and give it more time.
- LED notifications are problematic - had to remove HeroLED to get at least some notifications, but all you get now is green, even if the app uses different color on older ROMs. No charging orange LED, too.
- Google Sync is problematic. After you sign in to your account, it syncs, but you don't get Contacts sync at all. To get them to sync, reboot phone, they'll sync after the reboot. Even then it seems like Auto Sync isn't really working or the rate of checking is quite long - I couldn't get Gmail auto sync to work. You can sync manually without problems, but auto sync seems a no go.
Note:
Take this port "as is" 'cause I probably won't support it much. I think of it more as a "proof of concept" that seems to cool to me not to share it with others, but I don't have enough time to offer full support or work on for days. Maybe I'll release another version someday, maybe not. Sorry. I'm just being honest here.

(reserved just in case)

i tried it and it doesnt boot. stuck on the rogers screen for over 10 minutes haha. i am on the old radio and 32A.

is there any htc cime ?
or can i push it ?

HTC_CIME is not included, wasn't in Kingclick's original ROM either, sorry. You may of course try to push it - if you have a standalone Donut HTC_CIME, it should work here as well, I think. But don't hold me to it.

Well, i DLed it from mediafire and tried to flash it but im actually getting this error:
Install from sdcard...

Did you check the MD5 to see if the archive is not corrupted?
I'll try to check the file as well ASAP, anyway.

The md5 doesnt match with the one that you posted.
Im going to download it for the third time, but ill use rapidshare instead.

Yeah, the Mediafire file seems corrupted, sorry about that, should've probably checked that (but upload went fine). The RapidShare file seems fine. I'll upload it again ASAP.
Once again, sorry about that.

OK, Mediafire mirror is up again and should be fine now.

Just flashed it, but, after i change the wallpaper it freezez and restart's like a log off not a fully restart - it starts at the nexus boot screen, not mt3g screen.
The gallery is fantastic, works great, the tilt and angle works in the galley smooth but in landscape mode it freezez and/or i cant see anything, the menu flicks with no lag at all, the multi tuch is silky smooth. i'm waiting for another release to be less buggy but for now, for today, it's a keeper.
Running on HTC Magic or Mytouch3G

Love to see Case_ you back in the kernal side of things and porting some great roms.
Thanks heaps and hope you'll keep porting these great roms when they updated.. so many ppl only port one version or two then disappears..

hope to test it later!
seams nice

btw for the backport to 32B I think there might be something wrong with teh wlan module.
when I enable it, the rom keeps on rebooting, so might be something buggy here.
other then that works like a charm and really fast , compared to the original rom without 3d

I honestly don't know what is causing the problems with the wlan module. I've of course recompiled it for the 32B kernel, but still people seem to have problems with it.
But as I've said many times now, I don't own G1 nor 32B and neither have access to one, I've done the port "blind" as a proof of concept for the 3D part and had absolutely no way of debugging it properly. So I'm really sorry if it doesn't work as it should, but I really can't do anything about it. You just have to wait for the proper debugged 32B version of this ROM with working 3D to emerge. Kingclick mentioned yesterday that it's close.

yeah dont worry about it
I just thought I give you some feetback on that

hi...ive tryed this rom but i ve problem to login in google account...i cant in wizard and in impostation and i cant open market...there is a way to fix it?

sry for nab question :V fixed enabling ext4

[32A][6.35] Sanpei's Sense 0.4, with latest updates and fixes from my Hero Port

FOR 32A, RADIO 6.35 and SPL 1.76
CAUTION: for daily use, I feel this port are stable enough for many people. but it may not suitable for others. and it is a bit slow at sometime. I won't optimize it at current, since the speed is acceptable, and I must keep it "clean" to avoid any hidden bugs before we can get all things working properly.
plz don't touch your phone until everything have been loaded completely. I also can't suffer the speed during something are loading after boots. after everything have been loaded and use the phone for a while, I feel the speed is fine personally.
wipe and flash in recovery, and you should delete the generated files (by android) in your sd card.
Eris v0.4 & Legend V0.4[UPDATED at June, 16th] :
latest update [Jun 26]::
OC: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=349885&d=1277499752
non-OC: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=350638&d=1277631885 , under testing, plz report bugs.
though they were developed with HERO port, but I think it could be used in all my ports.
eris port is stable enough (but it is still a leaked and undone version, so maybe it has some hidden bugs.). and it is faster than legend one. but it looks rather old, and features are less. it doesn't have apps like friend stream; the browser doesn't have some functions; etc. it is for CDMA phone, so simcard operations are missed. i.e. you couldn't disable simcard contacts.
for MMS, you can use MmsZap which has been included in the ROM, set the fields (you could copy them from your APN) then press "back", MmsZap will save your settings into system automatically. after this, don't forget uninstalling it, this software isn't made very well.
works:
should be all now
HTC Sync will work with with http://www.easy-share.com/1909610034/HTCSync2.0.25.exe , thank beetleman and hanserson1 who uploaded it, thank capychimp who figured out this.
if you have troubles with your gps: shutdown with gps enabled (whether if it works or not). the gps will initialize properly when next time the phone boots. or maybe you could use the libgps.so from 0.34pre (it have other problems with some device).

caution: you must read texts below before you download it.
you could download it, if, and only if, you have become a tester of these works: kernel binaries and lib binaries which are made by me. as a tester, you do not have any rights (i.e. ownership) with these files.
certainly, you could use it as before or as using any other ROM .
if you click any download link in my posts, it means that you volunteer for testing these works, to speed up the progress of development and final release.
in this situation, you will become a tester of this ROM automatically.
if you don't want to be a tester, but you want to be a user: at current, you are not allowed to download any files from my posts. you shouldn't download them, because they are just for internal tests. please wait for a public release.

for JIT, download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=345213&stc=1&d=1276842897
you have to set your Home Wallpaper and Lockscreen Wallpaper to something on sdcard before the first boot with JIT enabled, (and you can set them back after that: I have tried other HTC wallpapers except default). the workaround is found by klothius, thx .
if you encountered any trouble, and want it disabled, flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=345214&stc=1&d=1276842897

other words for rom dev:
please upgrade to .32 kernel, i have stopped my works on the .29 kernel.
the kernel someone called "eli" or "ELI" is the sanpei's one too, so if you find bugs or have some thoughts on it, plz let me know.
and you are welcome to make your own mod based on my works.

Nice work. I don't have a rooted Magic but I'm excited to see this.
Does the bluetooth problem have to do with changing the line. I've seen Cyanogen talk about this fix for some Eclair ROMs:
-n -s 115200 /dev/ttyHS0 texas 4000000 flow
to
-n -s 115200 /dev/ttyHS0 texasalt 4000000 flow
in init.sapphire.rc ?

old info:
please make sure that you have installed driver properly. adb won't work if you install Google driver as a single device driver, and if you install HTC driver as a single device driver, DiskDrive will freeze your phone (but adb works directly). a little more details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6180261&postcount=986
our phone is "USB Composite Device", and windows has this driver included. you can try install it. after that, your PC will find new devices: one for adb (both Google and HTC's drivers will work), another for USB mass storage, and others don't have drivers (I will remove them if these two devices cause troubles) .
battery tips: you should make sure that services/apps like gps/maps could get data from internet properly. they may prevent the phone going to sleep when they think that the jobs are not done yet. and in some cases, they would forget to tell our phone "you can sleep now", so the phone would never sleep properly. if you encounter these problems, the only workaround is a reboot (as far as I know).
latest changes:
--> a new ERIS port based on latest dump*
--> fix: battery drains by BT
--> fix: no sound or freezes after using camera in footprint
--> some patches from google
--> modified: DSP driver, it looks more similar to HTC's driver now (testing)
--> a far more better superuser 2.03
info about previous versions
changes 0.36pre
market fix
rosie hacks for speed
changes 0.35pre
battery life fix
changes 0.34rc
--> speed improved with blue sun fix (if it isn't my imagination )
--> camera fix for some apps
--> libgps.so from another leak
--> modules update for OpenVPN
changes:
--> .32 kernel *
--> a new libcamera.so **
--> VGA(640x480) recording
--> rndis support (USB tethering) ***
--> default DiskDrive ****
--> others
* let us check if the sleep death which caused by sdcard operations can be fixed by the new kernel
** it was made for avoiding grayscale preview and memory leaks. it may contains bugs at current, please report if you encountered one.
*** default internet sharing won't work, I have tried it with wired tether 1.2 under linux, but I don't know how to use it under windows (my windows: Windows 7 64bit)
**** it works like a charm under linux. for windows, you may have some trouble with drivers, please read the texts under "working" section.
the eris ROM contains files from the RiverRunner(or others?)'s dump, maps from brut, superuser built from ChiansDD's sources.
Q & A:
Q: what about your others work, like bug fixes of your aosp build, your kernel, the opensource progress of your kernel?
A: i have few time these days, no big steps on ROM development.
for the aosp ROM, i build some version and test them myself, but none of them are better than my last one, since I don't have time to tweak them. but if I found a big improve in the future, I will release a new one.
for the sources of kernel, i lost some key files of my modification of kernel .29, and I was working on kernel 2.6.32 when I had some little time these days. i think that i won't work on the .29 kernel again if I don't encounter big problems on .32.
so there is no sources I can post at current. and for .29 kernel, there isn't any changes after it was released. I use the same binary file in all my ROM too as you.
Q: why .32 (next release)?
A: I hope that .32 could fix most kernel and driver bugs in previous releases. if not, .32 will still be better than .29. btw, this ROM uses .29 (as same as previous) since .32 jobs are not done yet.
Q: will you update this SenseUI ROM ?
A: I think my friend ahmgsk will make a better one for you.
so when any other ROM that are good enough appear in next 2~3 days, I will stop to update. this one just shows what we could have.
my plan is, I will work on some programming and kernel jobs, and ahmgsk will make good ROMs.

not this one.
it's some other problems with HTC things. I don't know this problem exactly, hope others can figure out how to fix it.
but thank you also.

thank you so much, i will however wait for a confirm if the root feature works before flashing this ROM.

best 2.1 sense i've ever tried. you're the man sanpei! thanks a lot for the job!

can you report what works and not for you?

It's an official HTC Sense port so it should be very smooth. But there are things that are not going to work right away since it is from the Eris. So reports are appreciated.

Em ne chance that these very drivers will work with other stable eclair roms ?

Facebook+Contacts don't sync right away, I haven't figured out a way to sync it. Might have to do it manually?
I couldn't use Titanium back up, it said I didn't have root access. Installing busybox didn't work either.
No Live Wallpapers?
Pretty much it for me. I haven't tried the camera/camcorder
WiFi works though, which is great.

Thanks a lot for having a look inside whats coming :-D things not working besides those already mentioned: GPS + all Kinds of LED's besides sync works without Problems.

BT not working. can't even turn it on
LED light either? not sure on this one.
also as reported by sanpei, the preview after taking a picture appears weird but no biggie for me since the picture is correctly recorded
overall super, super, super smooth. got one freeze when flickering around settings and a sms comes in but other than that haven't got any issue in the past ... 5 hrs.
edit1: LED not lighting up even when charging.
edit2: forgot to mention that there's no Mount USB option when plugged.

Thanks for the quick work getting a 32A port of the Eris 2.1 dump.
Some noted bugs:
1.) 3G connection does NOT work for me. It shows the 3G icon but will act as if no connection is available. WiFi works, however.
2.) LED sensors not working (as said earlier)
3.) Screen issue when taking pictures with HTC Camera (also noted)
4.) When first starting up phone on first boot, when I reach HTC Setup Wizard I get a force close on android.process.media. Doesn't seem to affect anything though.
EDIT: for Issue 4, my 3G connection issue was fixed when I flashed HeroDroid's WiFi/LED Sensor fix from his Hero port (no, LED lights still don't work).

well done！ i hope to see the screenshot pics

it is based off the eris dump. u can find screenshots in the eris forum, there's a lot of them and a video too

WOW you guys are fast. i smoked a spliff and came back..i see its here already
thanks im gonna try it right now..be back with some feedback

For a quick port, this is really quite good Sanpei. Now it's got me 100x more excited for what wonders ahmgsk will be able to cook up real soon..

EDIT: android.process.media got a forceclose..

I'll trying it all and post as most bug i had found

Everything works great! However, I too had a problem with 3G and WiFi after installation. But I was in a rush, so I never tried to fix it.. Turns out, it fixed itself sometime over the course of 30min.. Not sure what's up, though.

[ROM][32B] KiNgxKxKlair DroidEris2G1 WG kernel with ramhack (updated Mar 13 1pm GMT)

Disclaimers first:
1) The original ROM thread is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642643. Read it for details of what works, what doesn't. I've posted this in a new thread, because I didn't want to derail King's thread with an "unofficial" hack of his ROM, which might potentially generate support requests and people claiming there are problems that aren't down to his work.
2) I deserve no plaudits for this. All I did was rip the kernel (and, as it turned out, I also needed the wlan.ko) out of OpenEclair and shove it into King's ROM.
3) This also includes the fixes by xSunny and Vega over in the original thread (in fact it's based on Sunny's Nexus boot .zip file)
4) The WG kernel doesn't work with 2.1 3D. So I figured we might as well have the RAM hack and get our 10Mb back. SO DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO TRY TO RUN 3D APPS ON THIS - THEY WILL RUN LIKE A DOG. If you want Sense AND 3D, use King's original ROM.
5) As always with ROMs, I am not responsible for anything that might happen, e.g. your phone getting bricked, the world undergoing a total existence failure, etc. If you don't agree with that assertion don't flash this.
Right, that's over with. So what is this?
King's original ROM, especially with the tweaks made by Sunny and Vega is a beautiful bit of work. It's the first Sense ROM that's actually been usable on my phone. However, it has a BFS kernel and I absolutely *hate* BFS with a passion. I personally don't think it helps performance that much, and the way it makes the device miss half of your finger swipes so it's like having a resistive screen again. So I decided to see how the WG kernel worked out, being (IMO) the best kernel around at the moment.
I used the non-ram hack WG kernel from OpenEclair initially, and got good results, but on my Magic 32b (what you Yanks would call a MT3G ) the ramhack kernel is a frelling BEAST. This makes Sense feel as smooth as Dwang's Donut.
Enough yakking, give it a try, give some feedback. And most importantly, enjoy and have fun.
Requirements:
* FAT-EXT4-SWAP partitions on your SD. That's EXT4. Not EXT3 or EXT2. You'll get gapps FCs left, right and center if you ignore this little infonugget.
* A nice big SWAP. I've got 106Mb. But at least 96Mb.
Non-RAM hack version - this is a bit pointless now, as 3D doesn't work anyway so you might as well have the ramhack version, but just in case:
http://chillbeast.com/KingSunnyWGKernelSigned.zip (thanks to chillbeast for the mirror)
Ramhack version:
http://www.4shared.com/file/240315699/5ee0521f/KingSunnyWGRamHackSigned.html
Thanks to King, Sunny, Vega, WG - and please note my total contribution on this has been in total about 2 hours tops. I'm just the bloke who mixed the cocktail. Those other guys are the master distillers.

What about a version without A2SD??

both of them get broken camera. will u fix it?

This is the fastest Sense ROM I ever used on my 32b!
This thing is perfect and runs like hell!
Please fix the bug with the weatheranimation on homescreen and the camera bug!
If that is fixed, this ROM is really perfect!
Thanks for it!

Great Job!!!
very very fast and stable
BRAVO !!
Massimo - Milan Italy

Is it possible to flash the latest update 1.1.2 from KingxKxKlair over this rom?
So the weatheranimation bug would be fixed!
Anybody has an idea if that works?

Wow, I just put this on my phone and it just zooms along. Really great. If anything changes I let you know but very happy so far.

Sorry if i missed this but which radio and spl should i use for this I have a mt3g [magic 32b]if some one could reply or point me in the right direction i would be much obliged thanks in advance,

I'm going to try it using Fireat's modified A2SD and see how it works.

OK So I got it all installed and man does it fly, however all of the Google Apps are missing. I was hoping that Fireat's modified version of A2SD would allow this ROM to work. I'm almost motivated enough by the speed of this ROM to figure out how to fix it, just not yet.

Should have clarified. In my previous post I was trying to get it to work without an EXT partition.
I'm trying it now with an EXT partition to see how it goes. Loccy, did you include any of the patches from the original or is this based off of the 1.0?

Added the EXT4 and I can confirm that this ROM is fast!

Yeah, this Rom is awesome fast!
The only bad thing is that the wheateranimations don't work on the homescreen!
May be someone can fix this bug?

I updated with kings last update to fix the wheatherbug, but I'm on kings kernel again when updating and it slows down this rom. So in this way it's not possible to fix the bug...damn. Anyone has another idea??
I want to use this fast rom, but I want to have the wheatheranimations on homescreen!

Google Login
Hello.
Love the ROMs speed but it won't let me log into my google account. Under the account option it just reads "google_login". On startup I had an app force close. It was the Google Partner Login Service or something similar. I think I'd be right in guessing that's where my problem lies. I can't into either the market or my Gmail account. A bit of a problem.
Any ideas?
P.S. Just seen the error again. "Google Partner Setup" force closes. Any workarounds or anyone having the same issue?

Does this Sense have the pinch feature to select the various panels?

Just flashed this and i will give you some feedback momentarily.
I just came from Kingklicks and it was nice so im excited for this one.

So far so good.
Camera/Camcorder doesn't work.
Full screen weather as has been mentioned.
Get more widgets doesn't seem to work under 'add htc widgets'
The ASTRO that is preinstalled is expired, need the updated one although you can update it yourself. Same goes for BACKup PRO
Also same problem as the old rom, cant delete sim sms and can't hide sim contacts in the contacts.
I think that about covers it.
I have no fc, everything seems to work pretty good and the ROM is pretty damn fast.
Great work, i agree this is way better then the BFS.
All around though good work from everyone.
Looking forward to updates!
And btw im running EXT4, 256swap

[SUPER Fast][Phone.apk NO LAG]Holy Crap! Who's rom is this?! Hero2.1 (2.1 + SenseUI)

Edit 5/18/2010
FIRST PUBLIC BETA OF MY EDITS TO THIS ROM ARE OUT! CHECK THEM OUT HERE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6518000
Mods! Please close this thread! PLEASE do not post in this thread about my Beta! I don't need to be tracking 2 threads!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Browsing Google for new roms to check out, review and breakdown for my own learning pleasure, I stumbled across this hero rom of Android 2.1 with SenseUI.
http://www.4shared.com/file/163848444/8c7602ca/Hero_21.html
Tried to google search the archive name as well as the full 4shared link but couldn't find any articles about it anywhere. (If you know where its from let me know!)
Flashed it on my 32B Magic (MyTouch). This rom is INCREDIBLE. Booted up from flash to setup in less than 3 minutes, everything in setup ran smoothly and quickly (with one exception, I'll note below).
This is SO FAST, right off the bat, no SetCPU, no nothing, AND THE PHONE COMES UP INSTANTLY WHEN RECEIVING A CALL! No force closes so far, no non responding apps, NOTHING.
I've found 2 problems with the rom - Gmail setup can't seem to find a data connection (but the browser and IM clients do - weird? is this a CDMA rom? How do I check?) and the homescreen reboots anytime you hit the "Home" button - but it only takes a second or two to finish. I'm going to fly spare parts onto it and see if I can keep home in memory.
If anyone knows who's rom this is, let me know! Also, if it IS a CDMA rom, can someone port it to GSM? About Phone says this is the HTC Hero, but the Kernel says it is "Unavailable".
TRY THIS ROM, ITS AWESOME! If I can get gmail to work and the home app to stay in memory this will be my daily rom until CR brings his Slide rom out of beta and it runs this fast.
EDIT: Doing some testing, results of set 1
Comes with SU installed and working.
Text messages - working
Sense Widgets - working
Phone calls (in and outbound) - working and SUPER fast, there's NO lag!
NO CAMERA!
wifi - broken? says its unable to start
bluetooth - same as wifi
Gmail - broken? Can't get a data connection to gmail
Market - not working, because I can't get into gmail :-(
Browser - working, browsing the web as we speak
Keyboard - working (HTC_IME with no lag or weird ram-hack like problems.)
SetCPU (installed through adb) - installed and now this thing is just... I mean, there's no words for it. its fast. its really fast.
-----------------------------------------------
I'm working on building off of this rom - but I'm not copying and pasting in a ktichen, I'm actually working to rewrite code, replacing drivers, updating with a new kernel and above all else, making the apps work together. Right now I'm working to fix sync and make the prgram list actually display all the installed apps. This is tedious work, but Ill update you guys on my progress as it happens. I think this is a great rom to build off of because from the start, its super fast and as long as I keep speed in mind as I work on the rom, I think the end result will be a good one. If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them, both for fixes and modifications to this rom. I'm new to android development so I'm doing a hell of a lot of reading right now but I'm a 8 year programmer and do it for 9 hours a day, 5 days a week, so it's not like programming is new to me - just the android side of it. I'd like to thank Cyanogen fo his wealth of tutorials, repositories, and tips because most of the stuff I'm reading and learning was written by him.
Bugfix log for NEXT release (NOT THE CURRENT ONE!)
Facebook App and sync - fixed

Wifi
Widgets (they don't all appear in the add widget list)
Google sync - Partially fixed... still working on it
App list not showing all installed apps - Working on it, still don't have any idea why its happening but I will find out if it kills me

[5/9/10] On the google sync issue - I originally thought it was a Hero caching problem, having found a ton of information of this happening on stock hero devices, but it turns out it wasn't. In the process of discovering this, I've also found out why the installed apps don't show in the Rosie app list. Its a bug with how this rom was built in SDK version 6, when the original Hero rom from HTC was build in 7, it was backported (not sure if I have the correct terminology there), breaking a few things. I'm going to recompile in 7, fix the system date format (which is also causing an error in the Google sync) and hopefully get sync working, then I can start looking at other minor bugs and optimization.
-----------------------------------------------
PS - somebody find out where this rom came from so I can give proper credit to the original developer(s)!!!
Edit: I'm told this is Drizzy's original Hero 2.1 (Thanks Chris!) with broken drivers. I'm going to try to contact Eugene to see what modifications he made and also check through online documentation to figure driver **** out. Props to Drizzy/Eugene - this build may be more or less broken (well, it was your first and you had plenty of updates to it since then) but damn, nice job on such a fast rom, its awesome even for alpha.

im a little scared to try it...so i wont zackattacks 2.1 1.1 hero is fast enough and stable enough for me right now.

Could you give us more information from where did you obtain it?

Yeah, I found reviews from this gamercore guy, but he doesn't say where he got it or who made it. He does rom reviews. You can find a bunch of his rom reviews on youtube - I doubt he makes them all, but I could be wrong.

He just review roms.. By the way this was uploaded last year must be 1.5 hero not 2.1 Old news

Wifi doesnt work

You're wrong. It was updated TODAY - and its 2.1 - I'm in it right now - firmware - 2.1

going to flash right now might be Zacks?

Could be - but I don't think so, this thing is old, uploaded last year, I can't get ZX's 2.1 hero to work and I haven't seen a ZX Team update on their 2.1 Sense threads on here or on androidspin, plus this one has a ton of extra features, like the animated browser progress bar from the original espresso rom.

seems interesting. can anyone confirm if this is 2.1 as OP suggusted or 1.5 as mediaman suggusted?
EDIT
just saw, OP just said this is 2.1 and updated today

[5/18/10][G1 & MT3G]HappyRom 0.5 BETA - The fastest 2.1 Sense Rom ever! Native LED!
http://www.twitter.com/DefectiveLove - I share this twitter with my wife - follow me!
What?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------​I've never understood why Sense roms always had to be SOOOO slow on my MT3G and have only gotten less reliable with Overclocking and JIT compiling; I was also really tired of the randomly *****y screen and keyboard - you know, where you're typing and it pauses for 10 seconds, then puts in a symbol instead of your letter? Or how about ****TY battery life and lag on incoming calls so bad I miss most of them and get nothing but voicemails. I want the features, but I've been using Donut roms instead because Sense has sucked. Till now.
Several weeks ago I found an old 2.1 Sense rom by Drizzy that f***in' flew like nobody's business, but everything was broken in it (see the original thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=677518 ). I've been working since then to fix everything that was broken, add new features and all the while, keep the speed of the original rom as my number one priority.
Well, I've been working on this non stop (as you can see from my myriad of posts in chef central) while learning android from the ground up. After nearly a month (I think) here's my first beta!
HappyRom v0.05 BETA by Aeltrius - This rom, all by itself, is faster than any JIT, OC'd Sense rom out there. Even on the G1 without touching setCPU - this is CONFIRMED!
- this rom is heavily based on work done by Drizzy and Eugene373.
Special thanks to Chiefz_Reloaded and Asuske/ts0cha0tik for lending a helping hand when I got pissed, being there to bounce ideas off of and testing out my private betas!
Additional thanks to Cyanogen for his detailed wiki's and King for all his work I've studied, as well as the developers of SetCPU, Spare Parts and the other apps I've included.
-------------------------
Requirements
G1
- Death SPL - MAY work on other SPL's - I haven't tested this on G1. It will probably work on Danger, too, but I won't guarantee that as I haven't had a chance to prove it
G1 & MT3G
- ext partition (you can use ext2/ext3/ext4 - your choice, ext2 has been the least tested, but it HAS worked)
- 96Mb Swap (128Mb Recommended!!!)
-------------------------
What works:
Wifi
Google Apps/G-Sync/Gmail/Google Talk/etc
Sense Widgets (except clock - check the bugs section)
Market
SMS/MMS
Email/Exchange
Music
Browser
SU
USB-Mounting
Youtube
Native LED support!!! - Still in very early stages but confirmed working on MT3G

Known Bugs
Video/Camera does not work right now - its my next thing to fix
Facebook sync half works - it sync's up, but doesn't link contacts
HTC Clock widget doesn't work
Photo Album does not work yet
Compcache does not work yet
HTC Setup Wizard MAY be touchey and weird on the G1. You can skip past it though, its not important - I need confirmation of this!!

Ummm.... well, I just about everything else should work, but this is a beta BECAUSE I need some additional testing done.
Installation Instructions for Newbies!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------​Don't get mad at me if you don't follow these!
1.) Make sure your SD card is properly formatted. My personal recommendation:
128Mb Swap
512 Mb ext(2|3|4)
2.) FULL WIPE!
3.) Flash the Zip and restart your phone
4.) Watch for the lockscreen. Once it appears, wait 2-3 minutes for the rom to settle. Skip through setup till you get to the Home screen "Loading..."
- During and after setup, you may get a message "calendar storage is not responding" a few times - just hit "wait". This goes away once you set up your Gmail Account.
5.) Wait for the Home Screen to load up, then give it a minute or 2. Open programs and hit your Market. Log into your Gmail here.
6.) Wait till your email is downloaded - phone will be slow for about 30-45 seconds until Gmail is synced up. Done
Once you give this thing a couple minutes to settle, its SUPER ****in fast.
-------------------------
EXTRA INSTRUCTIONS
NOW - this thing should be fast enough all by itself with no additional mods (hard to believe, but I'm serious) or tweaks but it has so far only been tested on the MT3G, so G1 users or needy MT3G users, I've included SetCPU in here so you can max out your CPU if you want it to be even faster. I've also added spare parts if you want to speed up window animations and such.
The first time you bring up the dialer it might be really slow, but after that it won't be.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------​I am NOT responsible if you mess up or your phone by using my rom!
This is still in BETA!!!!

READ THIS, DUMMY!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------​If you find a bug, I'd love to hear about it so I can fix it, but there's the thing.
If you tell me
"Some things don't work, fix them and I'll come back."

I can't track that, there' no way for me to know what the problem is! Tell me which app had a problem, what you were doing when it did, and if you're feeling generous, throw me a logcat while you're at it .
Finally, if you want me to be able to properly track and fix bugs - please,
keep this thread on topic
Native LED???
---------------------------------------------------------------------------​
For everyone who's wondering, as of page 2 of this thread, Native LED support has been *mostly* removed from my rom. A lot of people put a lot of time and effort into developing these custom roms for the community and they need to get credit for the work they've done. When a "signer" or Developer alike KNOWINGLY uses anyone else's code and purposefully claims it is their own without giving proper credit, I personally believe they don't deserve the end result of all that hard work.
I came into android only a few simple months ago, and only started digging into the code within the past month. I've read a lot, spent hours a day in front of my computer coding, flashing updates, testing and losing sleep to help develop a rom that people can use - a choice in a myriad of roms available. I have learned a lot and will continue to learn as I still consider myself an android "newbie". In this last month I've been promoted at work and have new responsibilities, lost my house because my landlord wasn't taking my monthly lease and paying the mortgage with it, found out that my wife has a rare disease called PCOD which will prevent us from having any more children and been temporarily institutionalized for trying to kill myself via alcohol poisoning. In all of this, I've continued to try to work for the community. I know other developers have gone through the same things, and more. These people put their lives on hold to help the community and they deserve recognition and respect.
I couldn't completely remove LED support since it exists in too many places throughout the rom, so there is a code base for any new developers to build off of, but right now it is not and will not be fully functioning.
Call me selfish, I think of myself as a credit to shunned developers everywhere. Until Zachattack stops begging on his twitter for his friends to spam and flame my thread, stops botting forums to advertise his roms in everyone else's threads and until he openly and publicly admits to all the developers he's ripped off, I will not release my native LED support. Not in my own roms or in anyone else's.
I will be available for discussion to developers who are interested. That is all.

Changelog:
Current To-Do:
Port MyTouch Slide Widgets to replace Hero widgets (nearly done!!!)
Fix Facebook contact link
Fix Photo Album app
Customize some of the bland black/white/silver HTC themed "stuffs"

Is it as fast as promised? Did you have to setCPU or no? I need data from G1 users.

Call lag?
10 chars

does anyone else notice the rom right above/bellow this rom also claims to be THE FASTEST EVVVVVVVVVVVER?!?!? wtf...which one do i flash ?!?! lol

On my MT3G I've clocked this at 2 (SOMETIMES 3) rings for call lag, way better than 5-6 on other Sense roms. I'm still trying to make it faster. The problem with call lag seems to be related to broken bluetooth. If I either fix bluetooth or remove Bluetooth calls from the phone app I should be able to completely end Sense call lag

Test it out for yourself. I didn't like ZX's hero 2.1, it was laggy for me. Not all at once, but randomly it would take 10-15 seconds to recognize a touch.
Just check them both out and use whichever one works best for you.
