Here is a flash image for the dream of the MT3G ASOP (T-mobile OTA) 2.2 release. Including the most recent security update!!!
[SIZE=+2]MT3G-test3_S.zip[/SIZE]
(MD5: efff33db482ea3b6da3b247516be6a7f .. last updated 11/21/2010)
Please note this includes my 20101106 - 2708 ported kernel, for those requiring other kernels see addons
Requires:
* [Size=+2]1.33.0013d or 1.33.0013 SPLs with recommend 2.22.28.25 radio[/size]
(32b devices only) details on this post..
If you refuse to upgrade or can't upgrade because you have a 32a (1.2 or classic) device: you will need an alternative kernel as described in step 4.b 4.c or the phone will not boot
Note: 2.22.27.08 will also work but is not how the ota was shipped
* Uesrs of other SPLs can either use Danger (dream only), any sapphire SPL on the magic/sapphire/MT3G or alternatively Custom MTD I recommend "87 2" (system/cache) {as of test3 06bindcache will work if you install the parts package, thus if you use CustomMTD parts is mandatory to avoid market issues}
To install:
1) Wipe with 'fastboot erase system -w' (A no-wipe upgrade from test-2 will probably work)
2) flash MT3G-test3_S.zip
3) You will be prompted if you wish to install AmazonMP3 (answer yes/no)
4) You will be prompted if you want to set gprsclass set to 12 (you probably wish to answer yes)
4.b) If you have a 32a or 32a 1.2 magic install the ebi1, ebi0 kernel respectively from here: http://goo.gl/qFJO
4.c) If you have a 32b dream/sapphire without the new 2708 spl/radio install the ebi0 kernel if your radio starts with 2.22, or the ebi1 radio if it starts with 3.22 here: http://goo.gl/qFJO
5) Optional flash "DroidX keyboard" add-on
6) Optional flash "parts" add-on
Alternatively the rom is now available in RomManager; and will install the rom and correct version of the 20110222 kernel; also will allow you to choose between the components parts, droidX keyboard, and language packs.
Whats included:
1) su/superuser from CM6
2) my cm6 optimized pershoot based kernel described here
3) wifi working
4) bluetooth working (fixed inv2)
5) keyboard working (fixed in v2)
6) Rom contains English/Spanish only (Other languages available as language pack addons)
7) No sim card required (fixed with v2 market fix)
Many additional packages included in the parts addon.
To see information on the original Test2 release vist This Post
What not working:
* CM6 potential USB power issue (its not horrible on 2.6.34.7 but if you notice it reboot, or plug in a wall adapter)
* Sound Recorder shortcut missing, this looks like a bug in the OTA not the port a workaround
What to do if it bootloops
Before posting that the rom will not boot; please verify the following:
1) Check that if you don't have the newest radio SPLs *OR* don't have a 32B phone; that you install the correct kernel as mentioned in step 4b/4c in the installation instructions
2) Please use Super Wipe immediately before installing (ie. flash super wipe; restart back to recovery; then install the rom)
3) If you did not install it; install partsB; this will fix some date related bootloops that happens after flashing some of the radios. (after you can login and set the date correctly feel free to re-install without parts if you really don't want it)
4) If your phone is still bootlooping; after a clean install make sure you run 'adb logcat > logcat.txt' on your computer just after rebooting into the rom. Then paste the logcat contents into pastebin copying the link to this thread.
This may sound overkill but its the easiest way to make sure its not your error during install.
Addons
A|| Kernels:
The set of kernels used with this rom can be found: http://goo.gl/qFJO
> MT3G 1.2 (fender users) please use the EBI0 kernel
> 32A magic users (and rogers dreams who have not updated to a 2708 radio) please use the EBI1 port
> Dream/Sapphire users with older EBI0 radios may also use the EBI0 kernel with this rom.
B|| Parts Add On:
MT3G-test3-partsB_S.zip
MD5: 58b80345db33c95a92f9be77ee67cc43 (update 12/01/2010)
What is it you ask.. It adds support for many things on top of the base rom
(note if you are upgrading from the original Test3-parts this is a no-wipe update)
1) Add support for init.d scripts
2) Add support for 'adb remount'
3) Add support for live wallpapers (apk kanged from CM nightly 238, and odex by myself)
4) Add busybox in a squashfs (binaries kanged form CM nightly 238; and repacked since I didn't want all of them) Note test3-partsB restores the toolbox netstat link to correctly display netstat information again.
5) Add LWP fix (fixes various 3D) via init.rc permissions (based on firerats work) updated in test3-partsB to fix slow performance in many games.
6) Added fix_permissions script (this one kanged from biffmod 2.1)
7) Load ipv6 on boot
8) apn list from CM238 nightly (new for test3)
9) flash_image from CM238 nightly (new for test3)
10) date verification; if year is < 2010 set the date to a more recent date (prevents initial boot boot loops for some users) added in test3-partsB
11) And Last but not least:
Added "Froyo Parts" apk custom menu interface to (this is my work k, thanks.. but certainty has ideas from pre-eclair apps2sd and firerats scripts):
internal -> /sd-ext
a. dex2sd (/data/dalvik-cache)
b. data2sd (/data/data)
c. apps2sd (/data/app & /data/app-private)
d. Keep Home in Ram (thanks to raven_raven's idea) [new test3]
e. Compcache 18MB (based of CM's script) [new test3]
f. Restrict /dev/hw3dc most games run better with this disabled; however some work better with it enabled (no reboot required) added in test3-partsB
Check the one or more to gain additional space; allow the app root permissions and reboot; the files will be moved accordingly.
All options only apply on next reboot, so if you make a mistake just revert

C|| DroidX Multi Touch Keyboard:
A new addon for those that like the DroidX Multi Touch Keyboard.
Thanks to RoyalKnight6190 for the biffmod port this is based on and in turn punk.kaos for the version that works on your phones
This is odexed to save data space and WILL replace the default keyboard

E|| Lang Packs:
Non-supported language starter packs
see this post (update 12/11/2010)
These are for test3 only and provide the options to add [fr,pl,de] or [ja,zh] or [it,ru,nb] or [cs,ko,tr] to the existing en,es rom.
F|| Disable Menu Unlock:
No this is not a bug fix; the Rom has a feature coded in to allow the menu key to unlock the screen as could be done on the phone before the update.
However for those that don't like this feature here is a hacked version of the framework to disable the menu unlock, and enable the "H" notification.

Simply flash the kernel update.zip matching your configuration
FAQ:
* Installing Titanium + Root Fails: You require BusyBox for Titanium to work; this can be installed via You can either install the parts package or install via titanium its self
* I need ipv6 loaded on boot to run goggles or other app: This is included in the parts package; if you wish not to use the parts package see this trick
* adb remount doesn't work and this rom doesn't have root.. yes 'adb remount' fails because this is a stock rom.. however NO just because that fails doesn't mean there is no root. see this post in short modify /system in recovery its safer than adb remount anyway. Also ADB remount has been added to the parts package
* I want to revert from the DroidX keyboard to stock: re-flash test-3 followed by parts if you flashed parts. (do not wipe)
(In short if you are having issues with advanced features try out the parts package )
Note:
This is only a quick hack of the official MT3G rom; please don't expect me to make major changes to it (If I'm doing that I'll build from ASOP source)
(Changes: version 2 fixes bluetooth and the keyboard + audio levels for dream + removes OTA key so it won't ask for any future updates)
(Changes: Market-fix; applies the updated files from the OTA fix; in addition to allowing you to signon [or skip signon] without a simcard)
(Changes: Test-3 parts improvements + security update included)
thanks for this fast port. i will give feedback =)
EDIT: wo mtd its working smooth. just one faves fc and otherwise no issues. maybe you could say that gapps are included and working ^^
Currently flashing too, many thanks! Was gonna have an early night, cant see that happening now!
Update: Flash went well, booted up nice and quick. Upon setup screen I left it sit for a few mins after the screen turned off. I then proceded to set up passed the initial screens but it failed to connect and stated "you dont have a network connection". It found my router fine, carried on with the set up and synced. So for me so far I have no mobile data connection. Overall it seems nippy and responsive, will keep testing it out...
What did you do!?!?!?!? this is perfect!!!!
Browser, Gallery, Search, Calculator, Phone, Messages, etc ALL OPEN AT THE SAME TIME, no swap, no compcache (i think, free/busybox is broken) SUPERFAST FROYO
Thanks man.
Quick question... is this insane speed due to that i haven't logged in to google yet? or is it due to your awesome kernel? or neither? What's different between the EXACT kernel used in here and the pershoot ones?
Thanks.
James Carr
I desperately want to flash this, but I'm slightly nervous because my MyTouch3G (or HT-03A, in my case) was bought in Japan and subsequently unlocked for use in another country. I see that SU was implemented, so I'm not worried about losing root. Basically, besides the normal risks of flashing custom roms, is this going to create a danger zone for me?
Update: gave it a shot. Installs and boots like a race horse, but sadly it's not a phone. I keep getting the phone itself FCing (com.android.phone) and thus it kind of loses it's functionality. Going to give it another wipe and flash, see if that helps.
Second edit: no love. I know this is going to be huge, and I already can feel/see the amazing speeds present here. BUt if I can't make phone calls, it really can't help me right now. Good luck man, I'll be rooting for you!

I kept it stock; stock has no busybox but you can push it from somewhere else if you wish
The compcache module is included if desired; also setcpu will allow upto a 595oc with this kernel; (a safe 576 max by default)
Very little injected my kernel+modules; and su/superuser.apk from a cm6 build so you keep root.. and copied init.sapphire.rc to init.trout.rc (removed the radio+recovery components of course since I assume you wish to keep the custom recovery)
Without bluetooth this is like a one engine jet plane .
No PAN , no can.
i have a funny feeling t-mobile, google and htc are dicking us around, yawn.

This is absolutely amazing, the speed is as fast as donut, unbelievable!! What is needed to get root access? Im in no position to be ale to help unfortunately as I lack the tech-knowledge! Also any ideas on the bluetooth issue?
May many many thanks!!!
How does this compare to Biffmod for you? I remember the original stock Donut was typically faster than AOSP based Donut roms, does it apply to this case?
Downloaded and flashing right now...

For me my friend, this is probably the best rom ever! My reasons, theres been no lag, installation was smooth and fast, not a single force close. Bluetooth and mobile data isnt working for me (is it because I am in the UK, perhaps I just need to sort out my APN.....) nor is there root yet but theyll come in time. Ive installed LauncherPro and it runs smooth as anything, I am VERY VERY pleased that I have a super fast Froyo on my G1, I am never going back!!!
PS: I personally experienced random reboots on Biffmod and other Froyo roms, none on this rom so far!

Um.. root is working for me.. I added that to the zip (if you are in adb you will need to run 'su' then accept it on the phone.. so make sure the phone is unlocked the first time)
Sorry to be stupid, will this work with Magic 32B version? I dont care for Bluetooth at all, I care for wifi, 3g and gps.
Heading home right now to go and flash this on my G1.

Sorry yes my fault there. The problem I faced was I tried Titanium Backup but it complained of not having root and/or BusyBox. I went in to Terminal, typed SU, allowed it, downloaded BusyBox through Titanium and all is well!
Your. Are. A. Genius!!
PS: Keys arent mapped correctly e.g. the 'M' key which should give me a '>' gives me a '!'

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!

Initial Release
me said:
This ROM is based on the Generic 2.73.405.5 release version of the 'new update' (together with my own optimisations) for the best possible performance! The ROM is now available in 2 versions - 'core' and 'enhanced' by popular request.
Included in both 'core' and 'enhanced' versions
- Rooted with 'adb remount' permission and superuser APK
- A2SD included (fully automatic - thanks cyanogen!) - create a EXT3 partition as your second partition to use. dalvik-cache remains on device. EXT4 is NOT supported.

- Added Custom Locale for setting non english Locales
- Added android-wifi-tether 1.52 (props to the developer, this is a great app!)
- Added WMSM
- Added busybox 1.15 - tweaked such that 'get information' in Swapper now works as desired
- Added nano 2.09 - text editor for use in shell mode
- Added terminfo and settings to boot.img to allow nano etc. use
- Added tun.ko file (untested, please report on whether this is useful)
- Added files required for Debian linux
- Moved Quickoffice to data partition to allow easy uninstall
- Deleted 'Learn More' application
- Deleted Maps application - install from the Android Market to always stay up to date
- ROM now includes touch focus in Camera app
- ROM now supports shortcuts using BetterCut (and therefore I assume anycut!) in Rosie
- 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. It will display MCR2.0 (core) or MCR2.0e (enhanced).
- Fix for HTC Peep on Vodafone now available here!
Included in 'enhanced' version only
- Added Business Card Scanner
- Added 'Plurk' client
- Added WAP browser
- Added Chinese IME
- Restored Maps app (for users who cannot install it from the Market)

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...
P
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.

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!

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.

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).
Thanks Case_
Hopefully the CIME update will be available soon.

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.
is this base on donut or cupcake?

Its build from myHero 2.0 which is cupcake, so don't think it include the donut since its not written
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.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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

yes that is how you do it as posted in his first post:
"Install from recovery after you install the main ROM. Do not wipe before flashing!"
Anyone get a chance to test bluetooth? That's the only thing holding me back from switching over to a hero ROM....
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
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)

Recommended applications (available from the market)
- More Locale for setting non english Locales
Downloads
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...n-2-0-modaco-custom-rom-for-sprint-cdma-hero/
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.

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.

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?

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..

Non-standard disclaimer:
In order to use this ROM, you must have already installed clockwork recovery. If you manage to brick your phone with this ROM from there, you are a dumb ass of unimaginable proportions, and I absolve myself of any responsibility whatsoever. Further, any damage done to your phone with this ALPHA ROM is your fault and no one else's.
FAQ
Q. I bricked my phone/my signal sucks/my cat exploded since installing this ROM.
A. See the Non-standard disclaimer above.
Q. I can't seem to flash the rom successfully, and my Nandroid backups don't restore.
A. Do NOT start Clockwork recovery by powering down the phone with the USB port plugged in. Clockwork WILL NOT operate reliably that way. Power down the phone with the USB cord disconnected so that the phone powers off properly. Then start the phone by pressing and holding the vol-down button while pressing the power button to start. After diagnostics complete, you can enter Clockwork the proper way.
Q. I lost my 3g connection after I flashed Liberated Aria FR Series, now the icon just says "H".
A. You didn't lose 3g - the H is for HSDPA, which is enhanced 3g, sometimes referred to as 3.5g. It's a good thing, if you see an "H" where the "G" used to display - don't worry about it. Print this out for next time you head to the can: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Speed_Downlink_Packet_Access
Q. How do I keep my wifi from going to sleep every time the screen shuts off?
A. There is a hidden feature that disables wifi sleep.
menu > Settings > Wireless & networks > wifi settings > menu (again) > advanced > Wi-Fi Sleep policy > Never > menu > Save
However: although you can keep the wifi service from sleeping, the wifi driver will still sleep on it's own after detecting no bus activity for a period of time. It doesn't wake reliably, so you are better off just letting the service sleep.
Q. Will this ROM support over or under clocking with Set CPU?
A. Yes! As of FR008, we have a stable, fully functioning OC kernel.
Q. Hey, what's a de-odexed ROM and what's it for?
A. Read this: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-odex-and-deodex-in-android-complete-guide/ and this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7435131&postcount=8
Q. I can't get flash to work. What's going on?
A. Flash 10 is not supported by this CPU, but HTC's Flash Lite is in there.
Q. Where's the FroYo wireless hotspot?
A. It's in there!
menu > Wireless & networks > tethering and portable hotspot
Q. What's wrong with bluetooth? It doesn't work with my floozengadget.
A. Nothing. All bluetooth functions have been confirmed *WORKING* with compatible devices.
Q. But my floozengadget device is bluetooth compatible. What's wrong with bluetooth?
A. Nothing. Android bluetooth on the broadcom chipset is not compatible with every bluetooth device. Consistent compatibility issues have been noted with devices using certain parrott chipsets, certain automobiles with factory bluetooth including most Nissans, Volkswagons and an assortment of other devices and autos.
Q. Can you fix bluetooth so it will work with my floozengadget device?
A. No.
Q. Does the FM Radio work?
A. Yes.
Q. Is this an HTC Sense ROM?
A. Yes.
Q. My widgets don't load or I am missing icons on the desktop or in folders.
A. The sdcard mounts late in the startup process - later than when desktop icons and widgets are loaded. This is a problem inherent in Android 2.2 and manifests itself when an application/widget is moved to the sdcard that has a presence on the Desktop. This is not a bug in this ROM, it's apps2sd in FroYo. For better apps2sd performance, use the ap2ext version (enabled by default when an ext2 or ext3 partition exists as the second partition - after FAT - on the SDCARD).
Q. If this is Froyo, then how come it doesn't work exactly like it does on xyzphone?
A. The Aria is not xyzphone, and probably has a different feature set.
Q. May I use your work and customize it and republish it?
A. Sure, but if you start with this ROM as a base for your own, please note it.
Q. May I mirror these ROMs?
A. Please don't, as I updated them periodically, and I can't update mirrors I can't control. If you want to do you own build based on these, then fine, mirror away.
Help
Install either ROM from Clockwork Recovery.
If you aren't rooted and dont have Clockwork installed, Go here: Unrevoked reflash Root/Recovery flash tool
If you are rooted and haven't yet installed clockwork, then do that. See this thread: Unrevoked reflash Root/Recovery flash tool
if you are running windows and are having difficulties with drivers for proper operation of Unrevoked Reflash, then look here for solution: Shadowf0x's custom LiveCD spin for rooting the Aria
Once clockwork is loaded:
Do a nandroid backup to preserve your current rom
Wipe Data (if coming from another rom, including CM6 or liberated_aria non-deodexed version, or to enable additional languages from previous version)
Wipe Cache
Wipe dalvik cache (advanced > wipe dalvik cache)
Install liberated_aria_*FR00*_signed.zip from sdcard
To Enable A2SD:
Backup your applications
Backup your sdcard
Partition your sdcard with ROM Manager with an ext partition option. (ROM manager is in Market)
This should start a special mode of clockwork recovery, which will partition the sdcard.
Yay moar romz!!!
Nice! Gonna try this out and compare it to the speed of cm6.

Rock on! You are the man!
Oops...didn't mean to quote. Doh!
I think I'm going to switch to this rom since that new Gratia ROM has some chinese characters here and there and those chinese market apps. I'll be watching this thread for any future revisions. Thanks for this!
Impossible to move some programs on an SD-card, unlike CyanogenMod...
Froyo apps2sd sux anyway. Partition and use a2sd method included in this Rom.
Does this one have the voice dialer, or would the seperate app I downloaded a couple o weeks ago that you whipped up for us work fine with Froyo?
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
Yes I must say since flashing my Aria with this, it is very snappy and the market is working great, thanks again attn1!
Just thought I'd post again and say everything is working great. No issues so far (then again I've only been playing with it for about half an hour now). Only thing with all the roms I've tried though is why can't ONE of them for ONCE not put apps on that we can't uninstall.. such as Astro - I never use it, my explorer of choice is rootexplorer, but now that it's integrated into the ROM i can't uninstall it. I can see where this makes sense for certain apps such as superuser or busybox, but astro and other apps? I just really dislike it when roms do that. This particular rom doesn't include a lot of item(s) but I'd love it if you put out a "clean" version that didn't include items such as astro (which I think is the only item you included). Anyway I digress, thanks again for this.
I have two questions about this ROM:
1.-Is it possible to hide the clock from status bar? and,
2.-How to enable wake system from trackball?
Thanks for your answers

This can certainly be done. Keep in mind that this is just the first release, you can't expect everything on the first go.
@attn1 Check your PM... ;-)
Installation error. I tried to install this ROM from clockwork (rebooting into this via plugging in the power and reboodting) and then it gave me an error saying the following... please help
