The Celestial Teapot RLS4d
DOWNLOAD: TCT_RLS4d.zip
A ROM for made for and tested on Huawei U8100 Expert Sweden but has been confirmed to work on most, if not all, U8100/U8110/U8120 phones. T-mobile pulse mini U8110 needs an update after install (se end of this post).
This ROM was previously known and developed under a different name in the Swedroid forums and the Modaco forums
(btw, can we PLEASE get at least a generic Huawei forum at xda-developers?)
RLS4d
- RLS4d = RLS4b/c + overclocking fix
RLS4c overclocking fix
- There's a mistake in the frequency tables in RLS4c and the RLS4b camera fix that seems to affect some phones. This fix (attached) can be used on both RLS4b and RLS4c and will fix both the camera issue (RLS4b) and the overclocking issue (RLS4c).
RLS4c
- RLS4b + camera fix
RLS4b camera fix (attached)
- The camera fix replaces the kernel with one that uses the same PLL for overclocking as RLS3 did (PLL2). Appearently PLL1 is used by the camera so it wasn't safe to change it.
RLS4b
- New (QVGA hacked) version of market... propably needs a wipe.
RLS4
- New overclocking code in kernel, default speed is 633.6MHz but can be tweaked with SetCPU.
- Updated (and hacked) Market
- Updated several apps to latest version
- Removed Facebook (download it from Market if you need it) to free up some space in /system
- Replaced brut maps with latest official Google Maps (5.0.0)
- Propably something more that I've forgotten...
It's propably a good idea to wipe, since Market and Maps has been replaced.
RLS3
- Changed bootlogo
- Changed bootanimation
- Replaced Google Maps with modified version (brut17) Seems you need to do a full wipe after upgrading because the replaced Maps apk
- Updated DocToGo to latest version
- Added Flash Lite support
- Most likely updated something more that I've forgot
- Fixed a tiny error in the installation script that could kill USB-mounting if you go from stock ROM to my ROM without wipe:ing data.
RLS2
- Made overclocking code in kernel to be aware of those phones that runs at 600MHz with stock ROM.
- Added support for U8120 optical d-pad in kernel
- Added tun.ko module for OpenVPN users
- Updated LauncherPro
- Updated Roadsync
Kernel
- 2.6.29 based on kernel source released by T-mobile UK for the pulse mini.
- Slightly modified to work on non T-mobile Android builds.
- Added overclocking based on HTC Hero code by phhusson. Default install is NOT overclocked. Add overclocked kernel with update.
- Added swap support.
- Added compcache 0.6.2 swap free notify patch.
- Added LZO support (needed by compcache)
- Added EXT3 support (for better A2SD)
- Removed unused stuff, like PS2 mouse drivers, non-used touchscreen drivers and NFS support. The result is a smaller, but more useful kernel than before.
Android
- Android 2.1 based on the official U8100 Expert Sweden ROM
- Rooted with latest Superuser Permissions
- Fully odexed (system apps will not use dalvik-cache = more space on /data)
- Removed Launcher2
- Removed MyWeather widget.
- Removed TouchPal and AndroidKeyboard
- Removed ServoSearch
- Hacked a way around the "cust" system making Wifi work on other phones than just expert/se phones.
- Moved autorun.iso to /system freeing up 25Mb for apps on /data
- Added Darktremor A2SD 2.7.5.2 + swappiness bug fix.
- Compiled and added compcache kernel module + script to enable/disable compcache.
- No JIT by default but can be added with update.
- Hacked Vending.apk (Market) version 2006 that will greatly increase the number of available apps by faking HVGA (320x480).
- Fakes autofocus and more for more apps in the market
- Updated to latest Google Maps
- Updated to latest Google StreetView
- Added Launcher Pro
- Added Home Switcher
- Added the last flip-clock versionen of Weather widgets (yr.no).
- Added Googles News & Weather app/widget.
- Added HTC_IME & an AndroidKeyboard with Voice input support (also adds VoiceSearch).
- Added busybox with symlinks
- Added nano (texteditor)
- Added bash
- Replaced bootanimationen with a Nexus animation I resized for QVGA for another project.
- Replaced RoadSync with the offical upgrade you are allowed to download.
- Adjusted wallpapers in the original launcher to correct sizes and ascpect ratio for a QVGA device. May make them look a bit weird in the original launcher.

UPDATE 2010-10-10: New zip file attached that also fixes the GPS. (TCT_tmo_u8110_update_2.zip)
If you can't get a phone network connection after installing, install the attached TCT_tmo_u8110_update.zip. That update replaced the ril libs with libs that are compatible with your phone.
JIT
Adding JIT gives a performance boost but I choosed to make it an optional update as it can cause problems with some apps. So far we know some apps that uses the google maps framework crashes if JIT is eanbled. Use the attached TCT_JIT_update.zip to enable JIT. There is also an update to go back to non-JIT if you change your mind later.
Installation
1. Flash a recovery image (tested with AmonRA.)
2. Copy the .zip file to your MicroSD card and boot the phone into recovery mode (call+volume-up+power)
3. Choose "Flash zip from sdcard" and choose the zip you just copied.
4. (optional) Wipe data+cache before rebooting. It may or may not work OK to not wipe data but it's propably best to wipe.
Overclocking
EDIT 2010-12-17: Removed all overclocking addons as they are now(with RLS4) obsolete
EDIT 2010-11-09: Updated all overclocking files with the new bootlogo.
EDIT 2010-10-11: Updated all overclocking files with the optical d-pad fix för U8120 phones.
EDIT 2010-10-27: Updated all overclocking files with support for phones that run 600MHz with their stock ROMs
Overclocking code has been rewritten in RLS4. The new kernel defaults to 633.6MHz which I believe should work on all phone. Let me know if it does not.
Use the app SetCPU if you want to overclock above the default 633.6MHz(default in RLS4) overclock.
SetCPU can be bought on Market or downloaded from XDA developers
Be careful with the "Set on boot" checkbox untill you know for sure if a speed is stable our not. Most phones will propably find a stable frequency in the 672-710.4MHz area but some can go higher. The highest allowed in the kernel is 748.8MHz.
Compcache
If you are using are allready using a swap partition on your SD-card, then you most likely shouldn't enable compcache. But if you do not want to partition your SD-card then compcache can be a good alternative.
Read more about how Compcache works here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Compcache
Enable compcache
In a terminal or using an adb shell type this:
$ su
# compcache.sh enable
Type free to confirm you now have 32Mb swap
Disable compcache
In a terminal or using an adb shell type this:
$ su
# compcache.sh disable
Type free to confirm you now have 0Mb swap
Advanced users
Compcache size, settings and swappiness is setup in /system/bin/compcache.sh
If you are an advanced user, you'll know how to proceed from here...
A2SD
(Only tested with AmonRA recovery image)
1. Backup your MicroSD card (IMPORTANT!)
2. Boot into recovery mode (see Installation instructions)
3. Choose to partition your SD card.
I recommend 32Mb for Swap and unless you plan to also move the dalvik-cache to the MicroSD card anything more than 512Mb for applications will be pointless as you will still be limited by the internal space for the dalvik-cache. You can of course use more space for swap if you have a large MicroSD card but I don't think it will make much difference but sure 64Mb won't hurt and on a 8Gb card you can afford it.
4. (optional) Convert EXT2 partition to EXT3 (EXT3 is an improved filesystem compared to EXT2).
5. Reboot the phone.
A2SD will now automaticly move your apps to the SD-card partition and enable your swap partition.
To change how a2sd works see this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7021609&postcount=5
(a2sd jit is NOT supported in my ROM as I've choosed to provide JIT as an update instead)
NOTE: If you intend to use A2SD it's propably a good idea to enable it early. Some apps (at least my banking app) doesn't like being moved and have to be uninstalled and reinstalled if you move it from internal to SD or the other way around.
NOTE2: Don't EVER remove your SD-card while the phone is turned on if you use A2SD and/or swap.
NOTE3: Having your apps on the slower (compared to NAND) SD-card propably have a performance hit but I can't say I've noticed it when testing it. However I believe that if you also move the dalvik-cache the performance hit may be noticable.
Reserved for the future...
Hi there,
I saw you're post about the overclocking issue I have with the Vodafone 845 (huawei 8120) thanks for that.
So this rom should also be compatible with the 8120 ?
It seems you have added a lot of good stuff and I am going to try you're rom really soon.
I am also wondering if the overclock will work or do I still need to flash a 'stock rom' first?
Thanks for the hard work !

I believe it should. The kernel config from a stock U8120 that I recieved when doing the overclocking was identical to the one from a stock U8100 so I believe the phones uses the same hardware.

Yes, if you did the 600MHz hack your phone will use the wrong frequency array and I haven't adjusted that array. Also I am not sure what other effects it can have by using the wrong frequency array and I do not even now why the hack makes it use the wrong array. Likely some firmware has changed when you flashed the wrong UPDATA.APP and it's propably a good idea to get back to the one that was intended for your phone.
Thanks for the hard work !
Edit : Maybe it is me beeing not so smart again,but I don't really understand which .zip file gives exactly what speed in post #3
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
652800 = 652.8MHz and so on... it's the speed i KHz as it is the format used in the frequancy arrays. Having digged into the acpuclock.c quite a few times now I took it for granted that everyone could see the connection but I guess I could make it more clear. Thanks for pointing it out.
I did a full wipe and partition sd with 32mb swap,512mb ext2,ext2 to ext3.
Flashed you're rom and everything seems to work great
You were right about the cpu reading though (still @ 600 Mhz) ..now installing 'stock rom' and hope the readings return to normal again.
Thanks again !
Edit : Tried to flash 'stock rom' but the update failed hlaf way,anyway my cpu readings were back to normal after flashing back you're rom (528 Mhz that is) after that flashed you're 691 Mhz zipfile and... It works !!!
Thanks a lot for the explanations ! really helpfull (I understand things a bit better now)
Now I have to do some testing if 691 Mhz is stable for this phone.
Do you have any recommendations (apps) for stress-testing ? (is setcpu stress test any good?)
I will report back with my findings.
Thanks once again

Not sure about stress testing, haven't done much of it myself really. But if 691.2MHz is stable then you may want to try 710.4. If you are familiar with fastbooting you can extract the boot.img and do a fastboot with a different boot.img without flashing it.
I suppose Neocore could be a good stress test on our phones since they lack hardware 3D and have to do all the 3D rendering in software.

Let me know how it goes, it should work fine just like old version unless the U8110 needs one of the touchscreen drivers I disabled in the kernel, but I really doubt it.
works fine for now .. gonna do stress test soon.

I did some testing and the 691.2 Mhz seems stable on my phone (VF845 - 8120) and since other available roms here are using you're 691.2 Mhz 'mod' we can safely say it is stable for this phone I think.
I also tried the 710.4 zip-file,but this resulted in a lockup in the boot-animation
A bit to much I think.
Anyway 163 Mhz more as stock speeds is still pretty amazing
btw. I was wondering if it is possible to uninstall some apps that come with you're rom ? I can't find them in the 'uninstaller'
Thanks
EDIT : Talking about overclocking got me thinking..Do you think it would be possible to undervolt in some kind of way to gain more battery-time (on lower cpu-speeds) ?
Hi,
Flash it to my U8100 but unfortunately it stuck on the booting animation.
Even when I flash the 633.6MHz update.
The phone works fine with your previous ROM (rls6_JIT I found at Modaco) and 633.6 MHz update.
Need your help to make A2SD works.
Thanks.
HI,
Works well on my t-mobile pulse mini,but gps not working.
runs fast at 652 speed ,please can you fix gps.

Overclocking
Here are a bunch of different updates with different overclocking speeds.
As far as I know most phones works fine with 652.8MHz. My phone works pretty good ad 691.2MHz but I had at least one random reboot so I went down to 672MHz. Some phones may even be stable at 710.4MHz but mine isn't.
If anyone needs a lower speed or even wants to try a higher one, let me know and I'll compile and update for you.
I recommend the app SetCPU if you want to do some tweaking like setting up different speed profiles.
SetCPU can be bought on Market or download from XDA developers
Explanation about the filenames.The numbers are the speeds in kHz. So 672000 means 672MHz and so on...

Thanks for the port!
Hi Setenza, how fast is this rom ? I m running drizzy's full v3, can you make a comparison between these two ?

No i don't use this rom.
I just flashed this - best part is that I do not get the "blurry screen" problem.
I enabled compcache and backing swap, and reversed apps2sd to run off the memory. This is a fast ROM - so far I'm really really liking it. This is subjective - but right now I think it is about the fastest hero I've run - but many of the recent ones have given the blurry screen, so I haven't given them a chance.

How you reversed app2sd? i allways thing that magic owners no need app2sd, we have more internal storage than dream one....
Any room run faster from internal memory than from microSD, i think.

tried this rom, it seemed quick but brouser seems slow when loading a page and youtube cant play in HQ which tells me that im not getting 3g even tho the icon is their
wow this is even faster than qtek with compcache and back :O
GPS does not work
I have just flashed this ROM on MyTouch, here is my obeservation:
1) GPS Does not work
2) Weather widget does not work, even I used the City name it does not get data on widget screen (is says "Can not load weather data...something")
3) Overall its very slow, when placed only 4 settings widgets on first screen
4) Wifi, Phone call works good.
Rest I'll test and let you know. Thanks!
seems like these hero roms act different with each person who loads it. My weather widget worked fine for me. their was alittle bit of lag.
Still...the hero roms are getting better and better.

can someone verify this for me when i use hero rom like this and disable touchflo then restart the phone and go to people the app crashes everytime???
READ FIRST - I am no longer updating my ROMs - details.
If you're following the Hero scene, you'll know that I have published a custom ROM based on the 1.73.405.5 shipping ROM. I have a Vodafone Magic (32B) and a T-Mobile G1 kicking around (and HTC want my PR review unit Hero back!), so figured it would be cool to firstly build a really simple way for me to package my ROMs for all 3 devices, and secondly try and produce an update.zip that runs on all 3!
Well, the first step is here, I have the MoDaCo Custom ROM ready to install on your Sapphire 32B device (and a 32A version is available to test).
Things you should know...
- Contents are IDENTICAL to the MoDaCo Custom ROM versions detailed here.
- I have used cyanogen's kernel from 4.0.4 (big respect to cyanogen, he's doing awesome work!)
- Now compcache ready - use this script for a big performance boost!
It has room for improvement, but it runs really sweet already IMHO!
The download link (in update.zip format for flashing in the usual way via recovery image) is at: http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-modaco-custom-rom-hero-to-sapphire-32b-port/
I've packaged Cyanogen's 4.1.11.1 BFS enabled Kernel and wlan.ko as an update.zip too (see above thread) - nandroid backup before applying!
I've quoted some of my original Hero post here, so you know what you're getting. Enjoy!

Is this ready to go as far as elimintating the blurry screen AND wifi ??
Just asking as the 1.5 and 1.51 both gave me fuzzys, and applying the update eliminated the fuzzys but took away wifi !
Either way. Thank You SOOO much I knew if I waited you'd give us something nice for the holiday !
You think a wipe would be needed going from 1.51 to 2.1?

to avoid any possible issues, I'd suggest a fresh wipe. I didnt add to much after the last rom I flashed so im gonna start over with my sdcard as well
A wipe is always wise, but SHOULDN'T be necessary...
P
Going to try this one now. How is the bluetooth support? Can paired headsets now actually work when calling?
re: support for ANYTHING other than WiFi and Camera (which both work), I don't know!
Let me know stuff that doesn't work, and i'll try to fix it in the next version.
Consider this a starting point...

For 32A I recommend the 2.6.29 kernel that redglasses uses on his Hero ROM:
http://www.2shared.com/file/7555649/5881ee4a/myhero-110.html
Might be stuck, d'oh!
So far, did a nandroid, wiped, etc. Updated, rebooted, and after asking for the language and network settings it's sat at a blank screen for some time. Status bar at the top, if left alone and hit the call button the dialer will appear and afterwards you'll see the unlock screen. But it just unlocks back to a blank screen. :/
So far this is the first ROM I've run into that's done this interesting bit. Will maybe reformat SD Card and rewipe, or something.
Nevermind. Rebooted, and it somehow proceeded this time around. Strange, though :/
dont really care for blutooth sound, but will it work for wireless tether ?? thats what I miss from using non hero roms.. having wifi back is also nice !!
Success!
Only noticeable thing is that when you go to far away from the home screen (going into settings, the dialer, etc), and return, it has to reload again for about 10 seconds. But once it's there it's fairly snappy.
Bluetooth pairs and works like it should! I might just hold onto this version of the ROM and tinker with it for a while.

have u messed with the swap yet ? 64/60 should help with that or 96/60 perhaps
i just flashed this and still am getting the fuzzys !! grr,, guess i have to flash the update over the rom and loose wifi ??
Modaco if you could shed some light it'd be much appreciated !
WiFi, etc works. Other problem : G Sensors aren't working D'oh

My swap's a bit rediculously larger. It's not that bad a lag, but only really noticeable when going back "home" from an application.
No swap or compcache etc. out of the box yet, let's fathom out the best settings together!
P
I'll upload a 32A version for someone to test...

modaco,
I am having all kinds of problems with this rom im still getting a blurry screen, it froze on me 3 times, im stuck in portrait and i keep getting the htc loading screen. I downloaded the file twice to eliminate possiblity of a faulty download as well.
mytouch...amonra 1.2.1, ext3. might have to go back to 1.51 that one worked great
I can confirm that this is running beautifully on my 32A device using redglasses/myhero boot.img and wlan.ko.
Seems to be significantly faster than the 1.73 builds, thank you modaco! Now you just need the 2.84+ build as well
This ROM was originally based on MyHero 2.0.2, but now is going its own separate way. This is (at least for now) still pretty much just vanilla Sense UI 32A ROM with just some minor adjustments to be more to my liking.
Now, let me thank a few people:
Big thanks to redglasses for creating and improving the great MyHero ROM, to hotweiss for the very same reasons with his HoFo ROM and to eugene373 for using my 32A kernel package with his Magic 3G UnI ROM and therefore making it easier for me in return to use it with the official Sense UI update.
Special thanks to Cyanogen for creating and sharing his kernel source code and to TigerTael for creating his 32A kernel offset patch.
Also thanks to Amon_RA, chris-steenkamp, eViL D:, maxisma, Radix999, bcrook, Qteknology and many others and of course to XDA itself.

If you like my work, buy me a Pepsi
v1.2
- Available as either a no-wipe update for 1.1.1 or full ROM
- New 2.6.29 kernel with BFS-313 and RNDIS wired tethering support (many thanks to Zinx and Cyanogen), logcat support enabled
- Because this update is 2.6.29 only, there's no bluetooth support AT ALL - if you need bluetooth, just stick with 1.1.1 as the changes in 1.2 are pretty much kernel related only anyway (but it should be possible to use 2.6.27 kernel package for 1.1.1 to "downgrade" the kernel in 1.2 to get bluetooth working, I just didn't test it yet)
- Added Wired tether app by harry_m
- Updated User Conf editor, Market Enabler and Wireless tether to their latest versions
- Pulse Clock add-on for all CaSense versions now available (not included in 1.2 by default), see below for explanation
v1.1.1
- Apply on top of v1.1 without wiping
- Misc. minor maintenance
- Linux swap (swappiness 30) now enabled by default if your third partition ( /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 ) on SD card is type linux-swap. I don't recommend using swap partition larger than 64MB.
- Added UserConf Editor 0.2 app by AndroidAppCritic for easier editing of user.conf file. Please note that user.conf is located at /system/bin/user.conf in this ROM, not at the default location this app expects it.
- Added some notification sounds and ringtones
- All notification sounds and ringtones converted to Ogg for better ring/notification response. After applying this update and rebooting, please verify ALL your ringtone/notification settings! That's the price of no-wipe update.
- Trackball glow notification (hopefully) finally works now.
v1.1
- Defaulting to kernel 2.6.27 from HTC sources now because of bluetooth issues with other kernels. Hopefully, this is just temporary, because it's slower. You can choose different kernel though, see below for explanation.
- Full Chinese support included in the main ROM this time - both localization and text input.
- Bluetooth should be working fine this time with the default kernel (both A2DP and HSP).
- A2SD disabled - there should be no more problems during first startup if you have ext2/3 partition. Ext2/3 support is still available in all the kernels, ext4 is supported only with 2.6.29 kernel.
- Alternative kernel packages will be available later (including logcat enabled kernels)
- Changes in the APN list. If it does not work for you, provide me the correct APN settings so I can change it.
- Removed Learn More (does anybody need it?)
- Spare Parts working now
- Added Blur animations
Known issues:
- Duplicated entries under ringtones/notification sounds.
v1.0
- Cyanogen-based kernel with BFS304 and my own config (new Case kernel v1.3)
- Root finally works! This means that everything that needs root hopefully works as well (wifi tethering etc.)
- LEDs, GPS, multitouch, camera, prediction works fine, as far as I can tell
- Protected apps should download from the Market just fine
- Multilanguage
- APN list for automatic APN config at setup. Added Vodafone CZ to the list, of course
- Log is disabled in the kernel for speed improvements. I can offer log enabled kernel as an update if there's someone who wants it.
- ROM is compcache/swap ready. I've disabled both by default, but you can easily change that in /system/bin/user.conf if you wish. I personally think that even on 32A, Sense UI needs some form of swap to run properly. YMMV. It should also be A2SD ready, but I didn't really test that - I don't use A2SD, as I think on 32A it just slows the phone down.
- Removed some apps I really don't use at all: AK Notepad, Stocks+widget, Footprints+widgets, Plurk+widget, KKBOX, HTC_CIME, HTC Sync. These are available separately as an add-on.
- Added some apps: Superuser permissions (of course), Market Enabler, Spare Parts (broken in v1.0), More locale, Wireless Tether. Apart from Superuser they should be uninstallable.
- Usual shell scripts available (rwsystem etc.)
- Bluetooth does not work properly.
- Chinese input does not work.
Kernel packages explained:
Apply the kernel package of your choice AFTER you've flashed the main ROM. No wipe! If you want to use the first, plain 2.6.27 kernel, you just need to flash the main ROM, it's already included in it.
2.6.27 - default kernel included in v1.1. Compiled using the official HTC sources. This package is provided so that you can get back to default kernel without flashing the full ROM if you've tried some other kernel package. Contains backported squashfs 4.0, loadable modules include compcache 0.5.4, CIFS support, IPv6 and quite a few other options. No BFS. Full (A2DP/HSP) bluetooth support with v1.1 ROM. Slowest of the three, but pretty much full-featured and stable (hopefully).
2.6.27BFS - Compiled using the official HTC sources. This kernel is pretty much identical to the first one, but contains backported BFS304. That means it's a little faster than the first one (YMMV), however, as BFS304 was never meant to be used with 2.6.27, it's also somehow unstable. The critical moment, as it seems, is during the "unlocking SIM card" phase on the first boot, especially if you've flashed the main ROM, addon package and kernel package in one go without rebooting. So, applying this kernel package over ROM that is already configured seems much safer right now. But as I've said - it's considered unstable, so bear that in mind. Full (A2DP/HSP) bluetooth support with v1.1 ROM. Most unstable of the three.
2.6.29BFS - Compiled using Cyanogen sources. This kernel is without a doubt the fastest of the three, however, as of right now, it doesn't support bluetooth. AT ALL. If you try to enable bluetooth with this kernel, it'll just say "turning on" forever and never finish. So, before applying this kernel package, make sure you've got bluetooth disabled (if you want to flash this kernel after the main ROM in one go, it's OK, bluetooth is off by default). This kernel is recommended for those that don't need bluetooth. Most advanced and fastest of the three.
log alternatives - They're the same as the plain kernels except with logcat enabled for debugging purposes, which means they're also a bit slower than the plain kernel.
Pulse Clock add-on explained:
This is just very minor add-on for all CaSense ROM versions. You just apply it without wiping over your current CaSense install. This add-on simply replaces the plain default Android analog clock I prefer to use (the widget available through Android widget - Analog clock, with the white "Malmo" clockface - not the HTC clock) with the analog clock from T-Mobile Pulse. I like the Pulse clock better and I think it fits with Sense UI much nicer than the default Android analog clock. YMMV.
Sounds interesting i give it a try and report back. Just in case , do you have a NON-BFS Kernel ? From my Experience BFS slows the UI down a lot :-( ... but i try first before i complain :-D

Yes, I can provide non-BFS version of the kernel (don't have one ready for my 1.3 kernel yet, but that's quite easy to fix).

Twitter widget is in the main ROM. However, the addon contains all the apps and widgets I've removed from the main ROM, so if you install it, you've got everything that's in the vanilla Sense UI ROM (and then some ). I've modified the text so it is clearer, it was a bit cryptical before, yes.

Hi Case_, finally ur own rom, been a follower to ur 32A kernel for LED fixes and stuff and I must say u have done a brilliant job for us 32A users.
I will be trying ur rom and hopefully trackball & LED works, as so far I can only get it to work with kingxxromxx's rom (something like that ).
again great expectation & congrats on grand opening
Great!!!
First of all this is great ROM, and thanks for that. I have been using MyHero with some mine modifications (removing some apks), this ROM is customized as I want.
Great work. Keep it that way.
Contains all the apps and widgets removed from the main ROM. Install from recovery after you install the main ROM. Do not wipe before flashing! Or just extract the file and push the apps to /data/app_s manually.

sorry for being a noob, should i just push let's say, HTC_CIME.apk to /data/app_s without the need to install it from ASTRO?
also I think we would appreciate if u could include the best sdcard environment (eg. FAT32+linux-swap or ???) so i can use the same for best performance -> FAST
I wonder if for my 32A, do we still need a dedicated linux-swap as a 3rd partition on our sdcard? because sdcard with FAT32 only did work smoothly for me but I read everywhere else that addition 3rd partition will smooth things even more.....
pls offer me your 2cent

Hi Case_, thanks for your great job.
Can I ask what is the default range of CPU frequency?
245-384 or 245-528 or 384-528?

I think the only way to install odexed apps is directly, by using adb push, not with Astro or other app manager, but I may be mistaken. Anyway, you most certainly need to push BOTH HTC_CIME.apk and HTC_CIME.odex to app_s, otherwise it won't work.
As for the SD card setup, I'm using FAT32+64MB linux swap with swappiness at around 30 for some time and I'm quite satisfied with it. But for all the tinkering with ROMs and kernels and regular work I didn't even find much time to test compcache properly, so I can't really say that objectively what is best. And I certainly didn't have time to check the speed and memory requirements this new Sense UI properly.
However, as I've said, I find that Sense UI in general simply needs more memory, even on 32A (and even on Hero, according to my friend). Without swap i was quite often getting hiccups and slowdowns after only a few hours of use - even though I'm in the habit of closing the unneeded background apps regularly, I was still getting something like 20MB of free memory quite soon. And the phone doesn't really perform that great once you go below something like 25-30MB free RAM. Swap most definitely helped me to solve these issues and Sense UI runs great for me - no major slowdowns and need to reboot to clear memory for days, if I REALLY need to.
So yes, as I've said, I most certainly recommend at least some kind of swap for Sense UI.
the main mirror speed is quite reasonable
around 70-80k/s.
nice...
wanna try to flash the rom later tonite
In case nobody saw the DroidEris over at G1 forums, i will post it here for Kingsklick.
Android 2.1 with Sense UI - and may i add, the fastest one out there (faster than ANY hero ROM's ive tried, and with a few exceptions i tried them all).
This might aswell have been a HTC official release, i'm not kidding - it really is so fast.
Remember: Skip HTCsetup wizard, login to google via market

Oh wow I am really tempted to try this now...guys is it really that fast?! Is this really that good that he is claiming that it should be official?!?! Im definitely getting excited..i may have to try this tomorrow
running it right now...
will report back tomorrow after using it at work and throughout the day...
initial comments is that it was alot faster than his aosp 2.1 port to 32b...this thing was blazing quick in the beginning...its settling down right now and is slowing down but still pulling through
and my trackball lights up ALL THE TIME

whats the best way to do this for this rom.... i tried using the user.conf method and it seemed to slow it down....
then tried the userinit.sh method and same diffrence
unless the user config files i have are just botched from old roms.....
also i tried a adb pull of the user.conf file and it said it didnt exist mounted/un-mounted didnt make a diff.

i would also like to know. the only other method that i know of is going through terminal, but everytime you reboot the values are reset and you have to manually set swappiness through terminal again.

- HVGA hacked Market
- Updated/added several Google apps (Gmail, VoiceSearch, GestureSearch, Street view, Maps)
- root:ed
- Added busybox, nano, bash etc...
Not working
- Wifi (U8150 has a BCM chip, U8100/10/20 uses an Atheros chip, I'm working on it)
- FM Radio (no app was included and 2.1 app depends on stuff in the framework)
Compcache
See post #3
Swap
To enable swap on partition 3 or partition 2 (it will check partition 3 first and if it doesn't exist it will try partition 2)
$ su
# sdswap.sh enable
$ su
# sdswap.sh disable
Installation
1. Flash a recovery image (tested with AmonRA.)
2. Copy the .zip file to your MicroSD card and boot the phone into recovery mode (call+volume-up+power)
3. Choose "Flash zip from sdcard" and choose the zip you just copied.
4. Wipe data+cache before rebooting if it the first install of this ROM. When upgrading with future updates you propably won't need to wipe again.
Compcache
If you are using are allready using a swap partition on your SD-card, then you most likely shouldn't enable compcache. But if you do not want to partition your SD-card then compcache can be a good alternative.
Read more about how Compcache works here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Compcache
Enable compcache
In a terminal or using an adb shell type this:
$ su
# compcache.sh enable
Type free to confirm you now have 32Mb swap
Disable compcache
In a terminal or using an adb shell type this:
$ su
# compcache.sh disable
Type free to confirm you now have 0Mb swap
Advanced users
Compcache size, settings and swappiness is setup in /system/bin/compcache.sh
If you are an advanced user, you'll know how to proceed from here...

Vodafone 845 is a U8120 and I believe it should work on it.
I installed on a U8110 from Yoigo (Spain) and It worked all except the sound, which allways sound as a white noise and the wifi wasn't work either.
I had to remove the rom because of the sound. I'll try it again in the next beta.
Best Regards
Hi Kalt_Kaffee..
by my Vodafone 845 is by beta2 the same. Booting ok. Tutorial ok. Phone after first boot freeze. After second boot i can a little bit longer test. Phone and gprs working. After open Devtools freeze and reboots.
Waiting to Beta3

With touchpad you mean the optical d-pad?
simple disable d-pad
Hi kallt_kaffe,
On my u8120, i got the same crash, when i touching the d-pad. There is a package which can disable the d-pad, but its only for 2.1. Is that possible to disable d-pad, until the final solution comes? The rom would be much more usable witout this kind of crashes.
Thank you for your great work!
yes, i mean the d-pad
where can i calibrate the touchscreen ? downer part of touchscreen is very bad calibrated on u8120

I'll try to make a kernel without the d-pad driver. That may stop the crashes (but you'll have to do without the d-pad for now)

Sorry, you can't. I haven't managed to get the calibration app to work with the Froyo build even though the touchscreen driver is pretty much the same as with the old kernel. I had to hardcode the calibration that worked fine on my phone.
Well, sure, of course you can do it but you'll have to recompile the kernel every time you change a value.
U8120 (Vodafone 845) users, try the attached update. It should disable the optical d-pad and hopefully stop the crashes.
Hi Kallt_Kaffee...
fix for Diapad not working. One klick and than freeze and reboot.
It is correkt.. If i dont touch the dialpad the froyo 2.2 works fine and fast no freeze. Camera working. Wifi not. I test now Market and take same Benchmark over SetCpu.
Christian
The CMI_no_optical_dpad_update.zip working perfectly for me, when i touching the d-pad. But if i pushing the d-pad (as a button), ist still crashing. Anyways, its much more better already. Thx.
The rom looks stable, and faster than custom V845 2.1 roms.
Sound ok
Wifi no
Bluetooth ok
HSDPA/GPRS ok
GSM ok
Touchscreen calibration not so good in portait, better in landscape, but useable
Camera ok
SetCpu long test: 12000 (same as on 2.1 @528MHz)
Linpack benchmark: 3.3 MFLOPS (2.2 MFLOPS on 2.1 @528MHz)
I am unable to install the Adobe Flash 10.1. Any idea?
sorry...
gprs not working stable by me. apn are correct.
Test tomorrow again.
Kalt_kaffee very good work... )
Only fix wifi and d-pad and i am happy...
