no more useless than the previous 6 threads on eclair or an eclair port within the past 3 days.
even if they open it they wont even read it nonetheless, its almost impossible for these nubs
my point in this entire thread is an attempt to get noobs to read important info. case in point... in 15 minutes this thread already has almost 600 views...
This thread made me happy lol. I praise your efforts, but the n00bs are out of control and there is no helping them anymore. Its just "gimme, gimme, gimme". They want everything handed to them.....
At least the XDA Wrecking Crew made an appearance before the thread got locked.

I am getting rather tired of answering questions answered 10...000 times
I'm pleased to present my MoDaCo Custom Hero ROM for the CDMA Hero! No wipe is required for this ROM.
You can now create a customised ROM containing only the parts you required - click here to read more about the MoDaCo Custom Custom ROM online kitchen!
MCR now optionally includes Wavesecure in ROM, allowing you to lock / locate / wipe your device remotely in the event of loss and be notified if the SIM is changed. The application cannot be uninstalled by a thief and we are actively working with Wavesecure to ensure that in a forthcoming release, your settings will survive a hard reset!
This ROM is based on the updated 'MR' ROM release series (together with my own optimisations) for the best possible performance! The ROM is packaged as a core version with optional add on packs.
Included in the 'core'
- Now includes a MoDaCo Custom Kernel 1.2 with EXT3/4, Compcache support, extended iptables support, NFS/CIFS, tun module and much more! To enable compcache, use the kitchen or edit /system/init.d/compcache.sh- Built with my new MCR build process which reduces size and boost speed of the ROM
- Rooted with 'adb remount' permission and superuser APK
- A2SD included (fully automatic - thanks cyanogen!) - create a EXT2 partition as your second partition to use. dalvik-cache remains on device.
- Added Jbed Java
- Added Dropbear SSH running by default, check 'About' screen for password (port 2222). You can now remove this by running /system/bin/removedropbear.sh
- Added Notes app from Dragon
- Added Spare Parts (run it and switch the 2 animation types to 'fast' for an even better experience!)
- Added WiFi Status indicator, with kind permission of Andrew Schwimmer
- Added busybox 1.15.3 with Droid Explorer support
- Added nano 2.09 - text editor for use in shell mode
- Added parted and sqlite tools
- Added terminfo and settings to boot.img to allow nano etc. use
- Added files required for Debian linux including loxley's updated bootdeb script
- Added all 4 available HTC widgets
- Moved Quickoffice to data partition to allow easy uninstall
- Moved Google Maps and Google Voice Search to data partition to allow easy update
- Deleted 'Learn More' application
- Silenced boot sound (it's still there and can be reactivated with a file edit)
- You can now check your MoDaCo Custom ROM (MCR) version from the about menu
Included in main 'enhanced' add on pack
- Added Business Card Scanner
- Added WAP browser
Other optional add on packs (apply as normal update zips)
- 'WaveSecure' add on pack (puts Wavesecure in ROM - it is no longer in core)
- 'Boot Sounds' add on pack (restores boot sounds)
- 'Hebrew Fonts' add on pack (installs hebrew fonts)
Recommended applications (available from the market)
- More Locale for setting non english Locales

ENSURE YOU DO A NANDROID BACKUP SO YOU CAN 'ROLL BACK' IF REQUIRED!
Please note that first boot may take a little while, especially if you have a lot of apps on your A2SD partition. Be patient! If you want a real clean start or you have issues with your existing A2SD installed apps when you boot, you need to wipe your EXT2 partition on SD too by executing 'adb shell rm -r /system/sd/app', 'adb shell rm -r /system/sd/app-private' and 'adb shell reboot'
The ROM is in an update.zip format for installation via the custom recovery image.
For the complete newbies, these are the steps you need to take with a 'virgin' Hero:
- Download and install (via rooting) the patched recovery image (step by step guide to follow)
- Download this custom ROM, and copy it to your SD card
- Enter the recovery image (if you're not in it already) by powering on while pressing 'home'
- Select 'nandroid backup' from the menu to do a backup
- If you copied the custom rom as update.zip, select 'apply sdcard:update.zip', else select the option below.
- all done
Feedback / feature requests welcome! This ROM is posted in multiple places - although I try to provide support everywhere the ROM is posted, of course you will receive the quickest response at MoDaCo.
Finally, if you like the MoDaCo Custom ROMs, consider supporting MoDaCo by visiting the subscriptions page and upgrading your account.

Thank you Modaco! Thank you! I can't develop roms! lol. Not good at it apparently. Are you still uploading it though? Getting a 404. Soon as I download it I will be proud and happy to be a guinea pig.
Ignore my last post. Downloading now. Will let you all know how it works.
As I said in the first post, I have no CDMA Hero to test on, so we might need a few builds before we get any issues ironed out... we'll see!

FAQ:
*** FLASHING ***
Q: Is CE 2.2.1 overclocked?
A: Yes. This newest version of CE uses version 7 of the OC'd multasking kernel. It's overclocked to 576MHz. If you're not comfortable with having your G1/MT3G being OC'd, you can scale it back down to 528MHz with SetCPU.
Q: I have a myTouch3G, do I need the DangerSPL?
A: No. I'm still running the stock SPL on my MT3G Classic... you're good to go.
Q: Do I need to have the DangerSPL on my G1?
A: Yes, the DangerSPL is a requirement for CE 2.2.1.
Q: What steps do I need to take to flash the DangerSPL?
A: Follow this guide on the CyanogenMod wiki. Make sure you also check that you have a compatible radio version as well. If you don't have the proper radio flashed first, YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE. That being said, the instructions in the wiki are very well-written and straight-forward, if you can follow them, you'll be fine.
Q: Can I use CE 2.2.1 on the myTouch Fender Edition or myTouch 1.2 (the newer version with the headphone jack)?
A: XDA member "mistere372002" confirms that CE 2.2.1 works.
Q: Can I use CE 2.2.1 on my EBI1/32A phone?
A: XDA member "kwanbis" reports that you can use CE 2.2.1 on EBI1/32A phones. See the write-up with patch links here.
Q: Do I REALLY need to wipe before flashing?
A: It's recommended that you do a full wipe when flashing a major upgrade or switching ROMs - unless of course the Dev says it's a no-flash update. If you want to backup your apps and data, I suggest checking out Titanium Backup and MyBackup Pro in the Market.
Q: If I'm coming from CM5 (or any other CM5 variant) do I still need to wipe?
A: People have reported that it is possible to make a no-wipe transition from CM5 based ROMs to CE 2.2.1 - but it is still recommended you to a complete wipe to avoid any issues. Flash without wiping at your own risk.
Q: How long should I wait after flashing before I can start setting up CE 2.2.1?
A: The best way to know when the first boot setup is done is to watch the logcat - when it stops scrolling like crazy and settles down, the ROM has finished loading. If you're not at a computer that you can watch the logcat from, a good rule of thumb is to let it sit for about 10 minutes while the ROM does it's first boot procedures. (I've personally clocked it at about 5 minutes while watching logcat.)
Q: How can I watch the logcat?
A: Assuming you have ADB setup as a system variable in Windows - connect your phone to your computer via USB and type the following into a command prompt:
Code:
adb shell
logcat
Q: Where are the Market, GMail and all the other Google Apps?
A: Download the Google Add-on zip. Reboot into recovery, flash the zip from there.
Q: I'm pretty new to all this flashing stuff, can you give me a step-by-step guide on how to do it?
A: Follow the guide I wrote here.
*** TROUBLESHOOTING A BAD FLASH ***
Q: I decided not to wipe before flashing. Now I'm having problems with getting apps to install to my SD card, what can I do to fix this?
A: XDA members "rumsey" and "mr_deimos" have figured out a fix for those that decided not to wipe first. Note: It is still recommended you do a full wipe and follow the flashing guide in order to avoid Apps2SD issues from the start.
Q: If I have Apps2SD turned on, will the Google Apps install to my SD card?
A: No, they do not. XDA member "cloverdale" talks more about it here.
Q: I've tried flashing the Google Apps, but my G1 is stuck on the loading screen, what can I do to fix this?
A: Firerat talks about space issues with G1s here. Note: The steps he outlines are slightly outdated now, but I'm keeping it around for reference. Follow my step-by-step guide instead.
Q: I tried flashing the Black Theme from recovery, now I'm stuck on the G1 screen, what happened?
A: More then likely, you were very close to filling /system on the internal memory and the black theme pushed it to 100%. Try restoring the last backup you made and moving the ringtones from /system/media/audio/ringtones to your SD card. That should free up enough space for the black theme to flash correctly.
Q: I turned on Apps2SD, but I keep getting an error of "Insufficient Space", how can I fix this?
A: Firerat talks about space issues with G1s here. Note: The steps he outlines are slightly outdated now, but I'm keeping it around for reference. Follow my step-by-step flashing guide instead. Remember, myTouch3Gs have enough internal storage space that you more then likely won't ever need to turn on Apps2SD.
*** MISCELLANEOUS ***
Q: I don't like ADW Launcher, but I can't uninstall it, how can I fix this?
A: Type the following into your favorite terminal app on your phone:
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm -r /system/app/ADW.Launcher.0.7.7_standalone.apk
exit
exit
Q: I love the included ADW Launcher, but I want to replace the standard launcher with the newest ADW so I only have one... how can I do this?
A: Follow the mini-guide in my tweaking tips post.
Q: I'm not comfortable typing codes, is there another way to replace the launcher?
A: XDA member "sleepfu" has made an awesome video that shows you how to replace the regular Home app with ADW or LauncherPro without entering commands into terminal or ADB. Note: This is an old video now, I recommend following the mini-guide listed in the question above.
Q: How can I activate and setup swap?
A: Activate it with Firerat's All-in-One Patching Script. Set it up with Swapper2 from the market. Note: Do this at your own risk. There are multiple reports of swap causing random reboot issues on G1s, and it's not needed on the MT3G.
Q: Can I use JIT on this ROM?
A: It's been reported that you can - but I don't remember by whom. You'll have to search the forum, I don't use JIT on CE. Sorry.
Q: Why don't live wallpapers work?
A: Get Firerat's All-in-One Patching Script - instructions on how to use it are in the post. (If you followed my flashing guide, they should already be working.)
Q: Can I push the stock Nexus live wallpapers from another ROM - will they work?
A: Per Firerat, the stock Nexus live wallpapers will not work - but, LWPs from the Market will.
Q: I have a QWERTZ keyboard, but they keys aren't mapped correctly, how can I fix this?
A: XDA member "arceles" has researched a fix - follow his instructions here.
Q: I have a French keyboard on my phone (AZERTY), how can I remap the keys for my hardware?
A: XDA member "superpigeon" has a fix - follow his instructions here.
Q: I flashed the black theme, but now I can't see the time in the notification bar, how can I fix this?
A: Open your app tray, go down to Spare Parts. You can change your colors there. Reboot your phone to see the changes.
Q: My battery drains very quickly after flashing, what can I do to fix it?
A: Try doing the battery calibration procedure discussed in the troubleshooting section at the bottom of this page.
Q: I followed the detailed flashing guide exactly, but I'm having problems with my Wifi, how can I fix this?
A: Try flashing the Wifi Patch again from recovery. XDA member "TheLaughingMan" talks about it here.
Q: The volume is really low on my phone, how can I fix this?
A: Check out the Louder Volume Hacks by XDA member "Meltus". I recommend using the "Generation 7 v2r2" files, they give the best results. Follow the guide by "LucidREM" in that thread to install them or use your favorite file manager with root permissions to place the hack files in /system/etc.
Q: I tried using the loudspeaker, but sound is only coming from the regular handset speaker, how can I fix this?
A: Try the Louder Volume Hacks linked in the question above. That should correct the problem.
Q: People tell me that they can barely hear me on the phone, is there a way to fix this?
A: Flash this fix by Firerat from your recovery.
Q: It's so slow! How can I make it go faster?
A: While most people haven't had any problems with speed... those that DO have issues with CE crawling on their phones - or just want to try to squeeze a little more out of it - can check out the Tweaking Tips post I've started.

Cool! Couple of question:
- Does CE2.1 use Firerat's CacheHack so Danger is not required on the G1? (if Danger SPL is required, that should be mentioned)
- Is there no black notification bar version available?
Downloading & Flashing now
I'm downloading and flashing immediately! Hope we have voice to txt goodness! Thanks for all your hard work!
Awesome, been waiting for this ever since it was first mentioned. Thanks for all your hard work much appreciated. Just wondering though, is there gonna be a black theme release of this?
There will be a black theme available for download but Firerat and I decided that it should be a patch to flash over the original ROM. I'll upload it soon

Check out Cloverdale's mod for black bars.
Edit: Just saw the post above... never mind.

Awesome!
I'm going to remote into my home machine right now and start this downloading so I can play with it tonight.
With this being based on CM5, I'd imagine you'd recommend upgrading RA to current as well?

Cause I'm paranoid and like to make backups of everything before doing a major upgrade/flash.

Sounds good!
What about the DangerSPL requirement? Since it's based on CM5, I fear that Danger is required. I'll be disappointed if it is required since that was CE's big appeal to me...no need to risk flashing Danger.
Ok whats the difference between this rom and E-Xtremes 2.1?? compared the change log and seem to include the same stuff..
