Thanks!
I'll try this rom on my Magic TIM.
Could you upload only the 32a port of the 1.2.2 OE rom for old radio ? Thanks very much!
And for the "OpenEclair 1.2.2 DietEclair", what's the DietEclair meaning ?
any alternate link? megaupload dun work for me
I've been running this rom a whole day now, no FC's no Reboots, battery usage seems very nice! the live wallpapers are sluggisch, and after you take a picture, the image is completely distorted but when you check the picture afterwards, its perfect.
I'm going to use this rom for a while as a daily one! I'll report back later if I encounter problems. Cheers mate!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The port file is here -> http://briancrook.ca/magic/OpenEclair/OpenEclair-v1.2.2-ebi1-signed.zip
But the port file will give ONLY the original features, not the ones I added!!!
"DietEclair" is the codename for the original OpenEclair version. I named mine "AppleSucks" to be different, and because I HATE Apple

Added a different mirror!
I will add more very soon
Working good!
Installed half an hour ago, without partitioning SD.
Everything seems to be working good, though the home screen is a bit laggy...
It's awesome seeing the animated Nexus live wallpaper working on the Magic. Am going to stick with this till the slowness gets to me (here's hoping it gets updated to a faster version).

Go to SpareParts -> Compcache/Swap Settings and select SWAP! It will be a little more faster
Thanks for uploading and making improvements on this rom, I'm really enjoying it on my Magic. Multi-touch isn't very responsive though.
Hope ta see improvements and a working video camera update soon. Keep up the good work!
And I totally support your anti-Apple stance!

Thank you very much!
But I have a problem about the received sms's time when the phone is off. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=641663
This problem is also existing in the openeclair 2.1 rom. Could you help me to fix it, or tell it to the openeclair project members? Thanks! It is very confused.
There is two "android keyboard" input in the settings. why ? ...
Great rom, finally got my HSDPA to work. first boot really quick I like it, looking forward to the next upgrade, keep it on!
Thank you for this.......but it runs way to "laggy" on my Magic 32a (w. same SPL and RADIO as you) to be usable, sometimes it freezes in different menus......
please fix Bluetooth............thank you
Is there any way to get the H back when you have HSDPA signal.
I know it's not necessary but it would be a good feeling to have it.
Thanks in advance
Hm... does it need to wipe if coming from 'DietEclair'+bcrook's port?
Curious
When is 1.3 due out? I would love to see the camera photo review issue as well as video resolved

1. Intro - What is Android​
Android is a Linux based Operating System (OS) designed mainly for mobile touch devices (Smartphones)
First Google bought Android Inc. but the Android Inc. developers (just 4 people) joined Google and announced
Android together on 11.5.2007. First "Droid" was HTC Dream which was released on 10.22.2008.
2. Versions of Android
Android versions were named by deserts in alphabetical order
Android 1.0
First Android came out with smartphones on 9 February 2009. Android included features as:
Alarm Clock, demo of the UI (User Interface), camera etc. This version was very unstable
Android 1.5 - Cupcake
This update/version has unleashed a flood of Smartphones when it first came out 30 April 2009.
Features as: uploading to Picasa or YouTube, support for third party keyboards, auto screen rotation were
added.
Android 1.6 - Donut
This version striked at 15 September 2009 and it first ran on HTC Hero along with new system UI,
voice and text entry search etc.
Android 2.0 - 2.1 - Eclair
This version was made from SCRATCH in a record time from last update - 26 October 2009 and
it added Bluetooth 2.1 support, new camera features(flash, zoom etc.) and this version was significantly faster,
than previous updates.
Android 2.2 - 2.2.3 - Froyo (short for Frozen Yogurt)
Now we are at more known versions of android starting from Android 2.2 - Froyo
Firstly seen on HTC Nexus One on 20 May 2010. There was alot of changes,tweaks the most
recongnizable ones were installing aps on SD card, automatic app updating in market and visuably
changed UI.
Android 2.3 - 2.3.7 - Gingerbread
Gingerbread was unleashed on 6 December 2010. It added bigger screen resolution
support XVGA and Higher. This update was more hardware based, it added 2 new sensors (gyroscope, barometer),
support for 2 cameras (now front facing camera can be used) etc. Updates after 2.3 so 2.3.2 - 2.3.7 were mainly
fixing bugs.
Android 3.0 - 3.2 Honeycomb
This update was meant only for tablets. It came out on 22 February 2011 and the the first Honeycom tablet - Motorola Xoom.
Android 4.0 - 4.0.4 - Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS)
ICS was release together with Google Nexus 19 October 2011. It was featuring a lot of fixes
and tweaks like: 1080p video recording, face unlock, beter and faster UI, hardware acceleration etc. etc.
Android 4.1 - 4.3 - Jelly Bean
Jelly Bean first hit on 13 July 2012. It includes multi lockscreen support, MOST IMPORTANT improved smoothnes
Google's project Butter, expandable notifications, and a lot and I mean a lot of new features, bug fixes, tweaks etc. etc. ​
Tutorial #1 - What¨s Root, How to Root, Let¨s Root
3. Rooting​1. What is Rooting and WHY should you root​
Ok so rooting is basicly adding root acces to Android (so you can edit, delete, copy system files). Let's put it this way: Remember when you were a kid, some parents (luckily mine don't) put your user the normal type so when you want to install something, game or program you would be asked for Administrator password that allows you to modify system. That's exatcly what rooting is - unlocking your device.
2. Pros/Cons
Pros:
If your carrier blocks Wi-Fi tethering now you can use it
Root apps on Play store
Custom boot animations
Custom kernels, recoveries
(better) use of Custom Rom
Cons:
It voids your warranty BUT you can unroot your device there's lots of apps for that on Play store
and DO NOT forget to replace custom rom with stock and custom recovery with stock
3.How to root (remember I am using GT-I9070 find your own resources)
This is the only tutorial that varies from phone to phone
1. Take a trip to here: http://www.androidrooting.com and search for your device and current
version of android! If you don't find your device there ask uncle Google
2. Now I personally got root.zip. If you get this kinda package you are lucky. Just put it on your ext.sdcard (later you will be able to do this from
internal). Reboot in recovery (search for recovery combo) usually you have to press Vol. UP + Home + Power until phone vibrates. Than just
choose install-zip – install zip from external sd card – select your root.zip and flash it once done reboot and thats it.
3. To make sure that Root has succeeded go into menu and check for app SuperUser or SuperSU or SU or download root checker from Play Store.
4. Now take a snack and ENJOY your Rooted phone
Now you can get to root by other way – by Odin. In that case:
1. Open Odin (Download below)
2. Put yor device into DOWNLOAD MODE a.k.a ODIN MODE (Usually Vol.Down + Home + Power) not RECOVERY.
3. Connect your device
4. Box with ID:COM# should pop up blue or yellow
5. Click box next to PDA in Odin and select downloaded file should be tar or md5
6. During the proces device might reboot into recovery to instal SuperUser
7. Click start and WAIT UNTIL YOU GET PASS IN ODIN THAN YOU CAN DISCONECT YOUR DEVICE.
8. To check if you are rooted search for SuperUser or SuperSU or SU in app drawer(MENU).
9. ?????
10. DONE, Enjoy
