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:

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

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). Edit March 2nd - It now seems that it works on 32B/G1 as well, so I've added the porting package for those phones, see below.
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've added a few things here and there that are essential to me like Market Enabler, More Locale 2, some ringtone and notification files and mixed in a few files from other Eclair ROMs to get a few things working. I've also changed the default analog clock (the Android widget, not HTC widget) to Pulse clock.
Thanks to:
ahmgsk (obviously), Kingclick, 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 seems to work fine. I can get about 20fps in Neocore benchmark. I've also tested Radiant, Armadillo Roll and iDracula and they all seem to work. 3D Gallery works as well.
- Multitouch works
- Camera works, mostly - no video recording, though. If you take picture, it shows a garbled screen for a moment, but the picture itself is taken just fine.
- GPS and accelerometer work
- LED notifications work, all colors
- Bluetooth MIGHT work, needs testing. But you can enable it.
- Google Sync seems to work just fine
What seems not to work:
- YouTube and video playback in gallery doesn't work at all for now. Sorry.
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. But after it starts, it seems pretty fast to me. It's no SuperD, but still quite fast, I'd say.
- Live wallpapers are problematic and I'd recommend staying away from them. Some work (not very fast, though), some don't.
- Launcher 2 is problematic. I've kept it in the ROM and it certainly looks nice, but I've had all sorts of problems when I had it enabled, including long phone freezes, terrible lag in applications and other. I'd HIGHLY recommend just using the "normal" launcher (it's "Nexus style" anyway).
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 seemed too cool to me not to share it with others, but I don't have enough time to offer full support or work on it much these days. Maybe I'll release another version someday, maybe not. Sorry. I'm just being honest here.

I will check it inmediatly...
but this driver 3d not work on magic 32b??Why not come out yet for the ROM 32b?
It might, as I don't think the solution here is specific to 32A. I'll maybe try to make a 32B kernel soon and let someone test it. Right now, I've yet to hear about this working for someone else on 32A other than me
Im flashing it ATM.
Give me a few minutes
ok when you relase a 32b Kernel,Warn
Well, i flashed it.
You're right, 3D is working
I tried it with SpeedX and Hyper Space, and they both are working. Not as fast as it would on a donut based rom (looks like the frame rate is a little lower) but they are absolutely working.
Launcher2 is still a bit laggy.
Some Live Wallpapers aren't working, they forced the phone to restart.
The gallery is working.
There are some bugs (like pressing the home button while in an app, will sometimes block my phone) that forced me to remove the battery.
This rom is not working enough for a daily use, but you did a great job.
Waiting for a bug fix Imma try the hero port now
Good to know, thanks!
BTW, as I've mentioned in the first post, I don't recommend using Launcher 2, it causes all sorts of weird issues with this ROM. And I also mention that live wallpapers are problematic and you should just stay away from them
Oh, and as for the framerates in 3D - in my experience they're actually slightly higher on average than with my own SuperD port I'm now using as a day-to-day ROM (I miss Sense UI, but 1.5 is starting to lag behind on all the interesting stuff, so...).
Case_ thx for working on this
i could not work becoz my tester was on new radio
i hope u get my hero 2.1 working too
From what I gather, this is a KERNEL modification that makes the HERO drivers work with this "old radio", correct?
Could you please provide the kernel diff (patch)?
ahmgsk: You're welcome. I'm always somehow uneasy as to what the reaction of the original dev would be when I'm using and perhaps modifying someone else's work, so thanks for this
I'll try to follow the progress of most Eclair ROMs but I'm gonna be quite busy for at least the next week or so, so no promises on any other updates or more ports (but I'd LOVE to have a reliable Sense UI ROM with Android 1.6 or higher, I can tell you that - Kinglick's Eclair Hero is close, but still not close enough to rely on it on day-to-day basis). I'm glad I managed to at least steal the weekend for Android for once and got this working, more or less.
lbcoder: Actually, there's really not much to patch. I've spent countless hours trying to port parts of the Kaiser kernel as discussed in one of the G1 forum threads, yet in the end I've ended up using pretty much just the plain vanilla Cyanogen Eclair kernel sources with only the camera code backported from the Donut sources to get the camera working (but I can certainly provide some kind of diff if need be).
Then there's the permission problem with /dev/msm_hw3dc and /dev/msm_hw3dm that on most Eclair ROMs needs fixing (chmod 666 and chmod 660 in init.rc, respectively).
And then it might or might not be an issue with the contents of /system/lib/egl and /system/lib/hw (and perhaps some other libs as well) which, I'm sorry to say, I've yet to fully test. Those from ahmgsk's AME Eclair seem to work, but looks to me like it's not exclusively just those, that it might work with some others as well. I know it's not very professional (but I've said it many times, I'm no dev and certainly no coder, I'm just determined and persistent ), but I honestly didn't have time to test those different libraries fully, sorry. I was just trying to get something as usable as possible and share it with others so they may perhaps investigate further. Though it somehow amazes me that I of all people got it working when there's so many people with coding and Android knowledge WAY beyond my own here (which is not that hard to achieve, anyway)

i hav no problem when u use my rom
its no probs -> but i m glad 32A (old radio) users are getting this. i m working on hero rom i think i can try to get everything working
for now videos and all are working
now some widgets n network is remaining (mostly solved) v2 coming soon
YouTube and video playback in gallery doesn't work at all
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Why? I remember in the original ahmgsk 's ROM they are working as well...
What has been changed from the old to the new Radio/SPL to break the YouTube/Gallery video playback?
As for the "why?", that's a very good question I'd really like to know the answer to.
As for "what has changed" - the kernel has changed (had to for the ROM to work with the old radio) and with it all the "drivers". I'm not happy that YouTube and video doesn't work, but I don't have much time to investigate further right now. And until now, neither did Eclair 3D acceleration with the old radio, so I guess it's still progress.
I'm sure someone will figure it out eventually.
Added links for 32B/G1 porting package. Yes, 3D really seems to work on those phones as well.
how do I apply the 32B patch?
just replace the files with the once from teh original zip file , repack it, and then apply the new zip?

DamageControl Sense 2.1 ROM - Espresso optional! - 100% complete!
PLEASE READ THIS POST BEFORE YOU POST!!!
This ROM is now 100% for a reason! Please read below!
Why is this 100%
There is a fix for *nearly* every problem - just search the thread!
For things there isn't a fix for, there is a workaround that works better
The rest of the problems are problems that cannot be fixed until there is a better leak, we get our hands on the source of the kernel, or Sprint releases something. However, it should be noted that the problems are extremely minimal. Microscopic, even.
EVERYTHING IN THIS ROM IS FUNCTIONAL/SIZE]
There are workarounds to nearly everything. Things that cannot be fixed are problems with the leak itself. There is really no reason not to upgrade to this ROM as far as functionality is concerned - problems are MICROSCOPIC!!! If you believe the Sprint update really is going to come in two weeks, go ahead and use this ROM now! Changing to the official one will be easy!
This thread is 225+ pages long, you CAN and WILL find a fix to find a fix if you look for it!!!
Installation Steps:
-Download whichever ROM you want between Espresso or Normal (Decaf?)
-Rename the file to update.zip and flash like you would any other ROM. Note: it may be a good idea to wipe EVERYTHING!!! You MUST flash if you are coming from a different ROM.
If the ROM fails to boot, wipe your ext partition!!!
To get Apps2SD (Applications are stored on your SD card - must be partitioned!
-PARTITION YOUR SD CARD
MMS Problems?:
-If you have MMS problems, download this: http://damageless.kingspond.com/signed-mms-fix.zip
-Rename to update.zip and flash it to your phone.
-NOTE THAT HANDCENT WILL NOT SEND MMS!!! THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WE CAN FIX!!!
Other reported problems:
-Handcent will not send MMS. This is a problem with every 2.1 ROM and is not something that we can fix.
Tethering:
-Wifi tether is included.
-If you refuse to tether using wifi, you can use EasyTether Lite or something similar that is available in the Market.
Worse signal?
-You do not have a worse signal because of this ROM. It has less bars at the top.
Apps force closing all the time?
-Boot into recovery, go to Other and select the Fix UID option.
Invalid authentication with Google
-There is something wrong that is fairly deep, but it is a problem with the leak of the Eris 2.1 ROM. This only happens when you have a message or voicemail waiting.
Voicemail notification
-Go into the menu, then go to settings, click the call menu and then click Clear Voicemail Notification. Also make sure you change the voicemail service number to your own number!!!
Visual Voicemail
Use Google Voice or Youmail. We need something from Sprint to get Visual Voicemail to work.
Battery Life
Your battery life shouldn't change much. If you are experiencing problems, try the 'airplane mode' fix, and check your CDMA PRL settings.
Other Problems?:
-Try rebooting.
-If that doesn't work, backup your device through nandroid and then wipe everything!
-Search, then post. There are over 1,000 posts here, most likely someone has experienced the same problem as you.
SEARCH THE THREAD!!!
FAQ
Why won't Handcent send MMS?
Because it is an incompatibility issue.
Why can't I send MMS?
Because either you are not on Sprint or you need to apply the fix.
What is the difference between Espresso and the normal version?
Check the screenshots.
What about Visual Voicemail?
Until we get something from Sprint, this won't work. However, you can use Google Voice or you can use Youmail. Both work great.
My Google Voice doesn't work!
Use version 0.20 to fix it.
Bank of America, other apps don't work
Looking into this problem...
Superuser shows up blank
Make sure you have debug mode on.
What's Next for this ROM?:
I will continue to update this ROM with small fixes and things that are nice, but I consider this fully functional. I am going to work on smaller things that will enhance the ROM a bit. This isn't the last update!
About this ROM:
I decided to make this ROM after some other ROMs just weren't working out for me. Things were far too buggy, didn't seem to work very well, and it all seemed a little clunky. I decided that I would try to combine the best of the ROMs, not doing it the typical way (by just combining stuff I like), but by combining things to make it functional. This ROM is meant to be fast, stable and reliable. I will not add things that will load down the system or kill battery life.
I decided on the name (with help) because of the recent problems on XDA. The community was not united, and I thought the best way to unite everyone was to bring in a new ROM with a new vision and focus. This ROM has been incredibly successful in this way, thanks to those who started this ROM's thread out the right way. I believe we have a lot of good spirit here and we can continue with the attitude of helping one another and helping one another out, all personal interests aside.
I hope that you enjoy this ROM and find that it suits your needs.
Make sure you wipe if you are coming from a different ROM!!!

I am usually not someone who asks for donations, however I am getting married soon and it certainly wouldn't hurt. You can donate whatever by clicking here. I strongly believe in open source and in developers working together towards a common good. I hope you all enjoy the ROM and that we can build this together.

Dam that's why I though I had some problems with my ADB but yes I agree with u in couple things I think the Rom is a lol crude but hey this guy did a great work making the cam work so maybe that is the reason why he miss somethings
Yes way. Try it.

Check your thread. I got your Rom this morning and loved it except there were too many bugs. I don't mean any disrespect. I will probably switch to your ROM when you get it worked out.
More 2.1 oh joy. Does this Rom fix the Facebook sync bug?
Good intentions, but way to burn the person responsible FOR EVERYTHING IMPORTANT WORKING! In the future try to not offend the real devs.
All that aside, I'll give it a try and let you know what I find.

ADB works fine as long as you have the latest HTC Drivers from the HTC Sync software install and you set your phone to HTC Sync mode.

- Reality Browser 3.0
- Weatherbug Elite
- ShopSavvy
- Barcode Scanner
...and others too.
Nice!
I will clean it up a bit tomorrow and do some "real dev" work - (I have the skills but not th

You're the first to fix video recording! I wouldn't call that "did very little".
Why would people even make any 2.1 roms after flipz roms?
His Roms are like the best no one can competite with him
Does wifi work for anyone? I can't seem to get it to start on this rom. It errors saying: "Unable to start Wi-Fi"
damageless said:
Alright, all I have done is taken some things from the gumbo ROM and the Fresh ROM to make a fully functional (as far as I can tell), 2.1 Sense UI ROM, signed it, and here it is for someone else.
I'm not sure if this will be useful to anyone or not. I will not maintain this ROM as I do not take any credit for doing anything other than combining some files and signing it. I am also going to modify a few things to get it working a little better and tweak it a bit, but it isn't something I plan on maintaining.
The only reason I did this was because I was very disappointed in the ROM that flipzmode released because of how many things he broke trying to do his own thing. I was hoping he would release something functional before he decided to go mod everything but oh well.
The one thing I have noticed is that ADB doesn't recognize the device. This probably has something to do with the kernel but like I said, I'm not providing support for this, just providing the resource. I'm sure something better will be released soon, but what the heck.
Again, I am not taking credit for anything here. Please donate to those who created the ROMs.
I should mention that I haven't tried visual voicemail and I am guessing it isn't working. Not sure if we have to wait for Sprint to come out with something or not.
I should mention that I have gotten Sprint TV to work on this, I'm not sure why other people are having problems. However, if you want Sprint TV, then you should simply copy the apk from your old ROM to the new one.
I will also update this to include apps2sd tomorrow. Also maybe get adb working. - I don't consider these to tools to be something that people use on a day-to-day basis which is why I call this fully-functioning. I also haven't fully tested everything, but as far as I can tell, everything works.
It is nice to have camera and video recording, though. All apps seem to show up in the Market. It does show Verizon stuff, and I need to make sure everything is on Sprint, but I will update it tomorrow to be a bit better. This is just a quick release. I will clean it up a bit, add some things to make it more functional and then release a better version.

Would you mind listing what exactly works I'm this Rom that did not work in Fresh 2.0b?
I am a little confused as to what exactly this Rom contains, and what gap you are attempting to fill by posting it.
[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 & 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

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 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 .

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.
10/18/2010 - minor update, APN list updated to match from CM6, WIFI should be working out of the box now.
A FULL WIPE IS REQUIRED. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO SO WITH FASTBOOT APPLY BELOW ZIP BEFORE FLASHING THE ROM, IF YOU BOOTLOOP, WIPE AGAIN AND REPEAT, IT'S NOT MY ROM, IT'S YOUR PHONE.
wipe /data /cache /system
mirror
Other Prerequisites:
You must have a custom recovery image installed.
DangerSPL Required, but radio requirements are the same as if you were installing CyanogenMod 5 or 6. if you have a 2x or 3x radio dont mess with it. you're fine. in fact. NEVER mess with your radio/spl unless an expert tells you to.
One More time for clarity, if you can install CM5/6 you can install this rom as well, if not. it probably wont boot. CM6 Radio/SPL requirements stand.
T-Mobile USA Froyo FRG83 (G1 Version, Bluetooth should be working.)
if you are running CM6 and want to test it out, just nandroid, WIPE and flash away.
What you will get:
T-Mobile applications, latest gapps etc.. HSDPA ril, ROOT, Busybox, USB Tethering (as well as wifi tethering support with the usual app)
Non-Glitchy Gallery and Market
Full CM6 APN List
WIFI
Firerat's APPS2EXT will work fine for you G1 users, as well as swap. Looking into possible issues with apps2ext
and more...
What you won't get:
*BLUETOOTH - Fixed?
JIT - It is off by default and breaks several of the apps in the tmobile package. This sucker is pretty fast without it.
ADW - Launcher2 is default, live with it.
User interface tweaks/ CM Settings
Live Wallpapers
Spare Parts (search the market)
And others...
G1 DangerSPL or equivalent
I'm a total CM fanboy, and eagerly await 6.1, but T-Mobile and Google have impressed me with this.
TMUS-G1-Froyo-CMRemix - SendSpace
-or-
TMUS-G1-Froyo-CMRemix - Mediafire
If you receive an OTA message please post a logcat.
CM6 Kernels, no new radio requirement (CM6 compatible radios work fine), no new spl requirement (DangerSPL or equivalent required for G1) Original T-Mo/Google Libs/Framework, cm6 libs and shell still intact.
and yes i go by a different name at the CM forum.
PLEASE TEST BLUETOOTH NOW!!!
first ha ha . NO for real thanks for this rom im downloading as i type.!!!!!!!!!!! edit works like a charm
there is no bluetooth workin on this one for the dream
but this was a problem that was in the other ROM release like this one...
I'm gonna give this one a try
i'm working on the bluetooth for Dream/G1 tonight, hopefully we'll have something tomorrow or later in the night to test.
please test out the bluetooth now, i changed the firmware file and it *should* be working now.
testing now
The current CM code is already all set up for the new official stuff, and the nightlies have it. Everything works, no need to mess around.
bluetooth works, but i think im gonna go try a nightly build
Live Wallpapers
I guess everyone missed it, or don't really care (I don't necessarily...), but live wallpapers aren't in these official OTA roms...
cant wait to try it~~~
Love it, except...
I've been through plenty of ROMs, and so far this seems like the most stable and fastest running. However, everything seems to be working great except for the Messaging application. Every time I open it, I get a FC. No idea why, tried reboot, reopening the application from different locations, but no luck. Any thoughts?
Update: After letting the phone sit shutdown overnight, the Messaging application is working fine, along with the rest of everything. Awesome job on this one!
might try this later before going to sleep.
btw, what does FC mean? i new to Android actually... bought a 2nd hand white G1. had the keyboard replaced for about $30 converted and saving up for another $30 for Digitizer replacement, mine has this big crack the halves my screen top and bottom, lol.
FC means Force close, when an application get closed unexpectedly
the official one already has working bluetooth...
Live wall paper isn't working for me
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
You would have to push the livewallpaperpicker.apk from a cm6 build to /system/app/
this will allow you to pick livewallpapers for your home screen. be warned, they don't run nearly as good as they do on cm6
can we flash the swap script that works with cm6 with this?
Thanks

Damm im really impressed nice and smooth and internal space 85.73. Thank you sir for the share.

I will try it today and let you know
thank you for the ROM
Sorry for slow download guys! When I finish my build, I upload to ge.tt which allows end users to instantly download while I upload. R3 is also broken -_- ; will upload fixed again
Please stick with r2 atm until r4 is done uploading.
Why the mandatory 96MB Swap and 512MB Ext4?
Wow...this rom is so horribly slow. Amazing how Roms can still get worse.
Slow UI, no improvements over 2.2.1, Market doesn't download anything. No Superuser installed. No busybox installed either. Commands such as a simple "cp" doesn't work.
Horrible.
Honestly with EzTerry's odex'd Asop and Richies F4T 182 de-odex asop build you are a long long long way off lads, nice effort but there is a lot better available already. And as for it being Danger SPL or custom mtd patch needed for what 90% of people are using 2708 with 14mb extra ram then this is a massive home goal.
Sorry just speaking the truth.
No, thats allright, I haven't applied much stuff to it yet.. I just uploaded it the day I compiled.
i'm impressed, just needs a little work. Also, those figures you have for free ram is with or without swap??
do you include a 2708 kernel? is that the default one? that could be a little clearer.
Sorry for the bugs, it is my first native phone rom.. Those figures are for free ram (physical) with the stock system without google apps with 2708 kernel. I did not include 2708 kernel yet but I will very soon! With the google apps and without the 2708 spl/radio, i got around 30 mb of free ram.
The mandatory ext4 partition and swap is for the R5 (uploading now) with a2sd but su still does not want to work. The "su" file was not included in the aosp compile for some reason and it messes everything up..
I like the fact you have changed the OP now about it being fast or faster
Look forward to see where you go with this fella, maybe a look at EzTerry's Froyo Parts.apk if it can help you out. I ported it with Terry's permission to F4T 182 and may be a useful additional update for your rom in the future to add additional functionality.

Yeah sorry I overestimated
35 MB of free physical ram with market, pinyin IME, and google messaging running DangerSPL and stock radio, no 2708.
Well, I'm curious to see Froyo 2.2.2 on my G1 anyway. I have it on my TP2 and the major difference I noticed is that 2.2.1 doesn't have wifi tethering in its Wireless and Networking settings but 2.2.2 does. (Not really a big deal I suppose, since I already have a tethering app.)
I'm kinda curious about why Lazlo or the others haven't merged 2.2.2 yet.

Simple answer - Go ask them
My guess is nothing more than a reduction in memory footprint??? And Wireless tethering is so easy using the google code website (just for those that don't know) http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ last time I remember wireless tether included in a rom was back in Donut days.

i was using an adblocking hosts file. who the hell doesn't? especially on xda... LOL i guess some people like ads
Ok, R5_Stable released. It is COMPLETELY STABLE with 97% bugs fixed. The UI is smooth and fast after all dalvik-cache has caught up on first boot. I have already messed with odexing and it works but will be in next release(s) because I still like my themes!
Note:
-DO NOT use QuickBoot application as it shuts down android incorrect (at least on this build), it works, but after you press "reboot" and android loads, up, android immediately crashes, and then reboots again and works fine..
-Now includes Live Wallpapers
-Launcher pro is default launcher
-seperate google apps for legal reasons (yeah again)
-On first boot, please wait until dalvik-cache has caught up (about 2 min) or until the phone has received radio signal for rom to run at full speed
-Pershoots .11 kernel added now
- 30+ MB of free physical ram with danger spl!! 60+ with 2708+ radio/spl/kernel.
-Requires Danger SPL now
- battery life is good but does not last 2 days
- setCPU recommended with ondemand at 122mhz-614mhz s (lower if you want to save battery but still runs fine @ 528mhz)
- usb tethering does not work unfortunately (the one built into rom)

Fella just because you use a host file please don't blame the links or assume no-one else is using them when links work for them. Not my fault you blindly use the host file and have no clue of how to configure it to allow certain things. The fault is the user because a computer works on a simply principle of it can only do what YOU tell it too.
smooth but on the mytouch wen using any other kernel it breaks wifi and the stock kernel doesnt support the new radio
