These are entirely unchanged from the ROMs on the thread over in Dream land below (apart from one small fix for Exchange in version 1.0)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534479
These are JAC and Drizzy's ROMs, not mine - all I've done is unpack the ROM, change one file in boot.img to make it work on a Magic, and then repack it all and sign it. So we'll forego the sigfile saying "if you like my work please buy me a Ferrari". However, this whole thing is a bit of a faffy operation and not something that's simple to set up (although is easy enough once you have everything you need in place) so I thought I'd share and save others the grief rather than hogging all the fun for myself.
These have come about because I wanted a Hero ROM, but wasn't entirely satisfied with the best one available for the Magic (Qtek's, IMO). It worked well, but the swap version dropped SMS messages sometimes, and the Compcache version was buggy, sluggish, and wifi didn't work.
JACxHERO seems to have a number of the same issues that Qtek has - dropped SMS messages (it seems that the lack of memory on the device causes the SMS/MMS process to die), and the Compcache version has broken Wifi. I said earlier on that I thought this version was oddly sluggish, but after setting up Compcache with backing swap I am loving it. By far the best Hero ROM on my own setup so far. No Wifi is a drag but I can live with it for now.
JACHeroSki 2.7.4.r2 in contrast is an older build, and one suspects they're using an older kernel; it has a working Compcache setup, but no conventional swap at all, and no multitouch. A good call if you have a slow SD card, can live without multitouch, and positively have to have wifi.
Bottom line as I see it:
Fast SD card? Use JACxHero v1.2. But you might lose SMSes (that said, no-one's reported any yet - I just worry about lack of memory issues)
Slow SD card but need wifi, and can live without multitouch? Use JacHeroSki 2.7.4 r2.
Slow SD card and want multitouch, or you insist on Compcache for other reasons, and not interested in wifi? Use JACxHero v1.0.
I personally am running 1.0 and after not being keen initially, it is growing on me and turning into a keeper. I only ever use wifi when at home and can do without it there, so it's not a problem for me.

JACxHero Version 1.2 - seems fast, but no Compcache
http://www.4shared.com/file/123726235/aa3ee695/jacxhero12-pn-magic.html
JACxHero Version 1.0 - Compcache, WiFi doesn't work properly. Works well if you enable backing swap and up the swappiness. See my user.conf on page 3 of the thread.
http://www.4shared.com/file/123729537/191c816a/jacxhero10-pn-magic.html
http://www.4shared.com/file/123821706/7250ac6b/jacxhero10-exfix.html (version with Exchange fix - I haven't tested this but it should be fine)
(version 1.1 didn't seem to be enormously different than 1.2; I did try it and have a working .zip but don't see much point uploading it)
JACHeroSki v2.7.4r3 - Compcache works by default, as does wifi. Note, though, there's no multitouch in the browser, which is a bit fail.
http://www.4shared.com/file/123798395/c61c220a/jacheroski274r2-pn-magic.html
NOTE THAT ALL OF THESE NEED THE USUAL THREE PARTITIONED SD CARD! i.e. fat32/ext2/swap
why have the v1.2 no compcache?
eljuego
As a note remember that JACxHero Roms dont have Compcache enabled by default.
The first post in the Dream Forum JacxHero thread tells you how to enable it - you need to edit the user.conf file, which i think is in /system/bin, can't remember right now.
It tells you which settings to change to get each combination of linux-swap and compcache
(BTW I know as it's working for me...)
Is it for 32A or 32B?
The rom for 32a or 32b ?

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

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

Really? It's not a patch on Qtek for me. How fast's your SD card?
Am just downloading the final release of JacHeroSki - v2.7.4r2 - and will give that a try. I wonder if some of these new releases are a little too bleeding edge to be useful. If a worthwhile update.zip for the 32B emerges I'll post it here.

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.

De nada. All I did was just change a few files.
I'm done for the night now people. I did try to get 1.2 running with 1.0's boot.img, but ended up with a ROM that had no working wifi and no apparent Compcache. I figured that wasn't any better than 1.0 proper (which I'm going to give another crack and see if I can tidy up the Compcache settings to my satisfaction - I can live without wifi for now).
this is just informative for everyone that has the older version and to find direction as I tried every trick i know to fix it.
There is a new JacHero and is fantastic, very snappy with swapper running in the background. I set it to 96/40 and runs flawlessly.
can download from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534479
I take no credit for this at all just letting everyone know there is a new version. all aplicable credit are on his thread.
I have installed on my Mytouch and the only thing that I noticed is that the wifi don't work. just says unable to start. If anyone had any ideas on how to fix this please let me know. As per original article sapphire support was added and has the wlan.ko and a new one there. I have tried to move it over deleting the old one and chmod to 07455 and 777 still wifi don't work. Any ideas please let me know.
***edit - don't do this:
I flashed this to my MT3G, then immediately flashed the patch from here:
If you are using a 32B device, you can optionally try Cyanogen's new 4.1.6 BFS enabled Kernel - i've packaged it standalone with the tun.ko in an update.zip. NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE TRYING!

Flash the patch exactly like flashing the rom. After the rom has flashed, choose to flash any zip, but select the patch instead. It will replace the necessary files for you on top of the rom.

Do you have a swap partition set up? My swap seemed buggy so I got Swapper from the market and enabled the swap partition. No more loading screen. (96MB w/ 40 swappiness).

It's not laggy, but not completely buttery smooth on my class 2 4GB that came with the MT3G (but still way more smooth and responsive than any other hero rom I've tried).
compcache is disabled, and the cpu scaling is default (min 128, max 528, up_threshold 45).

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
- Reboot and enjoy!
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 CM 4.2.15.1
Removes:
Meebo
HeroLED
AKNotepad
teeter
Adds:
Free Advanced Task Manager (Useful)
****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.

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.

Sorry for being vague. I had everything right except ext3 instead of ext4. I'm looking for some directions on how to upgrade. If you have any please let me know, thanks.
This rom is based on CM 6.1 final.
Its been injected with the latest MIUI, during this process, many of the graphic features have been Ported.
Features:
- All the CM goodies
- Automatic Apps2sdext
- Low Memory Killer settings on Boot
- Base Cm, none of the non essential applications
- Base of the Google Apps, by this i mean all those files you need to use market and sync,CarHome(i didnt find it on the market),PassionOffice to handle attachments, the others are Download-able from the market, so no need for them.
- Transparent GenieWidget, androotfile manager
- MiUi-Music!
- Original MiUi Bootanimation, scaled down ofc.
- Pershoot's kernel 2635.9,oc,uv,xtra,ram,fp#120810
- Custom Host file, ad-blocker
Req.
-87+ Mb on the system partition
-Ext partition 2/3/4 for apps2sdext
-Radio: 2.22.27.08|2.22.28.25
-SPL:1.33.0013d(Dream/Sapphire )/1.33.0013 (Sapphire ONLY)
Note, you could run this rom on 32A or old radio with 32B devices if you flash another kernel, recommended in that case: 32B-NON-2708 | 32A
How to install:
Start with a full wipe!
Flash it like any other rom.
Let it boot up, don't try to start to set it up till, at least, when the screen goes black.
If you get a LatinIME error Reboot and resume the setup from there, should go away.
On the SDcard you will find the adw launcher backup files, load them up, or make your own custom look. Bare in mind once you flash this rom, if you had other ADW back-ups on the sdcard root, they will be gone.
-Run fix_permissions first of all
-To configure the lowmemory killers run this: from ADB or Terminal:
a2sd lowmem-moderate|lowmem-optimum|lowmem-strict|lowmem-aggressive|lowmem-extreme|lowmem-ultimate|lowmem-default
-pick one of the options, im using lowmem-aggressive, looks pretty good

I'll try this out right now, see whatsup.
Looks a lot more promising than the theme being developed in the other thread, no offense.
Tried installing, no LatinIME error but I'm getting fatal errors on com.android.phone. I'll reboot and see if that can fix anything. Tragically, if I can't get over this very large error, I may not be able to play.

Did you check out the recovery.log after install? anyway, im uploading another version with a autokernel included, for non Trout.
testing now, will give feedback. just had a random reboot..
EDIT: ok no reboots so far rom is fast responsive and stable! will use it a couple days.
I flashed it with no problems but the boot animation wont show...only the G1 screen stays
Is it really Automatic a2sdext?
I found the ext is not auto mounted.
And I have to set the theme to stock_black to make colour appears correctly.

It is auto, unless ofc for some reason it cant mount your sdext partition. Well you just need to change the clock color, that bar is transparent because thats how it was in the MIUI rom.
@mahroze what radio& spl do you have ?
I can't get the swap to work automaticaly. Generally swap works, but after each reboot I must enable it and set swappiness.

You can't ? what happens
tried out this ROM and seems to be working great. After a wipe and still get all my apps back from ext. I was actually expecting a ported MIUI framework but it was just a pimped out ADW Launcher.
Went back to MT3G AOSP 2.2.1 ROM. Getting all the stability that I need.

well, i didn't change anything in adw launcher(i simply think its the best launcher), so yea what MIUI you see here is from framework-res. I did try to mess with the launcher but for what ever reason he didn't like any theming, plus the other rom has a adw theme with miui icons, no point in making another

I have no idea about Magic, its 32A or 32B ? if u know that, then flash over the install the right kernel, i gave some links.
@icow
Is no reason to reboot you in recovery.
ANyway what is your device, SPL, radio versions.
The credits for this rom should ALL go to SebastianFM from his original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025330
He has made numerous changes and compiled modified libs to get this port running...
Features Sense 2.1 and GB 2.3.3...
Code:
Working:
-Wifi
-Bluetooth
-GPS
-GSensor
Code:
Changes Made:
-Modified EZTerry 26364-s3 kernel (Added "turbo" mode for msm7201a, htc usb enable)
-Zram 48mb
-SDEXT for htc dream...
Code:
Requirements:
HTC Magic: "MTD 180 2" (sd-ext not used)
HTC Dream: "MTD 75 2" + 512mb ext4 sd-ext
I will be releasing a stripped version later.. This may be too slow for hTC dream but it runs fine on my htc sapphire. Let me note that the speed is not stellar but it is decent enough for daily usage. To be frank, I would rather use an AOSP/CM rom than this but here it is for you to mess with.

Also, I am working on porting SFM's HTC Salsa based kernel from 32A to 32B but I am having trouble getting it to boot. If you are seriously interested in helping, just send me a pm and I will give you the link to the source.. Currently I am using ezterry's 2.6.36.4 aosp based kernel with a few changes I made myself, but it is not completely compatible with our needs as camera does not work and HW acceleration isn't fully working.

What would you describe as "decent enough for daily usage"?^^ Because if i would define that, it's like no laggs and stuff and not force closing and beeing stable.
If you want you can take some stuff from my thread design or whatever.
Well it's stable for sure.. No hanging on 32B sapphire.
ill test it on the dream soon
Please keep in mind that I will not be giving any support... You are on your own
i was run rom but slow....

It should be quicker on Sapphire than G1/Dream, due to the ROM being stored in internal memory(ROM). On G1, the Rom is stored partially on SD and uses various links. And I think the magic has 288MB RAM vs 192 in G1.
I am on 32B sapphire with 192 ram.. it runs *decently* but I wouldn't recommend this for daily use right now. It should be after I strip it of its widgets and sense apps.. (which by then would be pointless build other than the HTC Launcher lol)
It *does* run faster than previous builds because it uses zram (compcache) instead of swapping which makes it even slower.
I understand. that's my personal opinion. and I want to comments with you....
Thanks

Go figure I talked so much smack to get this re-released, and my dumb a$$ can't even get this bad boy to boot. Im somewhat sure i have to re partition my card. It just wont even install. OHHH THE IRONY!!
yeah it shows an error while installing...tried a couple of times with amon ra,cwm2&4..but no luck...

Oh thank the Devs ( lol see what I did there) I thought it was just me. Are you getting error at SD/... status (0). That's what I'm getting. I thought maybe I have to repartition my SD but my SD is petitioned with everything maxed out to the highest settings. It installed once but I stuck at the g1 screen. I guess I just keep trying
let me see..
The error is because of updater-script. I added a fixed updater-script, just replace it in the zip. (META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script)

Awesome, thanks. Gonna try it right away. Ill just edit this post withthe results so I don't clutter up the thread.
Edit: I'm getting no love from this rom. It just wont install, and I tried every different way. With cMTD, firerats mtd regular mtd but it just wont boot. I have to be doing something wrong.

I've tried it on a T-Mobile myTouch 3G (GSM) PVT32B with latest Radio combo and booted!
Here's what i've done, following the BananaBread thread method of flashing:
Flashed using: CWM 2.5.0.7 (only version i found to support SD-Ext!) in this order:
1) recovery-v1.5.9-Alpha3-CustomMTD_S.zip
2) mtdpartmap.txt (i put 230 for OS and 6 for Swap, which left me with 230 for apps)
3) ohsaka-super-wipe.zip
4) Flashed DS_SFM_3.0.2_FULL.zip (after implementing the fix mentioned of updater)
5) Booted!
Works:
- WiFi
- Bluetooth (Turns on and Paired with my PC)
- Widgets
- Market
- GPS (tested with iGO)
- SetCPU (autodetect works!)
- Restart / Power Off
Doesn't Work:
- Camera (kept crashing)
Can't Test:
- Calls (i don't have a spare SIM card for this phone)
I've attached LogCat of all the operations i've done, including trying to open the Camera.
All-in-All, pretty good rom, not the fastest of the bunch but still works really nice for such an old device (this IS the very 2nd Phone that came out with Android!).
I do wish they could fix the camera
doesnt work for me....and i didnt get the sd-ext thing...should i mount it manually...
