[ROM] jacHEROski 2.3.3 - OPTIMIZED - NEW EXPERIMENTAL 7/5/09 (CYANOGENIZED)

I successfully got Cyanogen's 2.6.29-cm [email protected]) kernel up and running on Hero.
Link http://www.demarcatedmedia.com/rom/jacHEROski_Experimental.zip
This is a very, very experimental build (I rough cut the new boot.img). Please, anyone who volunteers to experiment please have DDMS up and running so you can send me logs.
As you can see from the pictures, I loaded Drizzy's optimized apps and framework because I had never seen the Ophone graphics and wanted to see what they are all about. If drizzy doesn't mind I'll drop the graphics but keep the optimized apps
Preqs:
New SPL
New Radio
Recommended:
FAT32
EXT3
linux-swap (32 MB)
Cyanogen Recovery 1.3 or greater.
Old Features:
linux-swap supprt
optimized rosie
New Features:
Kernel From Cyanogen
optimized widgets courtesy of Drizzy
Ophone Graphics (maybe)
appstosd from Nismo
TO DO / Known Issues
Change default boot config (let's widgets etc on first boot)
IF GOD LOVED ME HE WOULD LET ME FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO FOUR HOMESCREENS
other little surprises
1) wifi won't start
2) gps still a no go
--------------------------------- THE OLD ROM DOWNLOAD LINK AND INFO BELOW ------------------------------
ALL OF THE THANKS GO to JAC, Denkai, coolbho3000 and everyone else who makes this possible.
This is a slightly modified JACHero2.3.3 release.
This ROM is for those who prefer a 3rd linux-swap partition. The modified a2sd.sh will start swap on every boot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531988).
THREE PARTITIONS
FAT32
EXT2 OR EXT3
linux-swap
Included in this ROM is the Super Optimized Rosie from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532822
Next up, 4 Home screens on Rosie for the win! <---- probably should have been more specific, I'm working on this (it's more difficult than I anticipated)
Enjoy your ROMen noodles!
http://demarcatedmedia.com/rom/jacHEROski2.zip <----- slightly smaller Rosie, still working on fewer Home Screens
The file should be roughly 79.43MB - I used MEGAUPLOAD so who knows.
Please Note: This is my FIRST ROM, so use at your own risk. It does, however, work flawlessly on mine.
As always, I would recommend freshly formatting you sd card (at least the ext3 and linux-swap partitions) and wiping data before applying.

Awesome! Been looking for something like this. Gratz on your first ROM and props to everyone who made this possible. Downloading right now

could you plzzz upload to other site coz megaupload is not available in my area...

Question. If I am using a ext2, do I still need to do the 3rd? If so, how do I do that? Can I use partition manager?

would be cool if we could choose how many home screens it had.

Yea, I don't know I haven't tested it on two partitions. This ROM is mainly for those who have three partitions set up on their SD card.
FAT32
EXT3 or EXT2
linux-swap
The best part is you don't have to worry about your SD card getting corrupted when you mount.
You can use whatever to partition your SD card so long as it partitions it!

the linux-swap partition should be 32MB
swappiness is set at 20
you can edit the "echo 20 >" command in the a2sd.sh to change the swappiness.

i have a my sdcard setup with Fat32 first Ext3 second and Linux Swap last with 31mb.
not sure what i did wrong. i used Paragon to setup my sdcard if that helps

will this work if you only have a ext 2 or will it boot loop?

unpack the udpate.zip on your computer and go to /system/bin/a2sd.sh and post the contents here so I can see what it says.

[ROM] ZeroSx 6.21s / MotoBlur 1.2 NoWipe [10/25/2009 - 4:43PM EST]

If my title really needs a slogan to get your attention, then I just didn't make a big enough impression last time
Donations accepted / appreciated. All proceeds will go toward the cost of the myTouch and future accessories for development.

How I rooted a brand new "perfected SPL" MT3G and installed Hero in 15 min:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4471578&postcount=154
Most Recent:
G1 / MT3G: http://twistedumbrella.slackdev.com/ZeroSx-6.21s.zip
MD5: a04acee7df4e859bd2012954e1ec5447
Motorolla Blur: http://twistedumbrella.slackdev.com/MotoBlur-1.2.zip
This is an untested update, works in theory...
Sapphire Fixes: http://twistedumbrella.slackdev.com/Deport-1.1.zip
Removed Apps: http://twistedumbrella.slackdev.com/Extended.zip
Extended Apps: http://twistedumbrella.slackdev.com/Incremental.zip
Back your apps up as an update in case you do a wipe using this:
Download Incremental.zip above. Back all the apps up you want.
Open the archive and replace the apps in the data/app directory.
Sign the archive like a regular update and place in root of SD card.
Flash the update you want. When finished, flash Incremental.zip
Reboot the phone and both the update and apps will be installed.
User.conf file can be found as system/bin/hero.conf on any device.
No command needed for device identification. Faster boot (hopefully).
A reboot is no longer needed to use either device. This is all integrated.
Recommended not to overclock below 256, due to the black screen issue.
Compcache is enabled by default, current values were EXTENSIVELY tested.
Please do not contact me asking what values work or giving me others.
I spent 2 weeks changing values, testing, changing, testing. Both devices.
Abreviated Changelog, Full Changelog linked below:
Optimized the entire system app folder using the automated method.
Changed some animations. A lot of new stuff in use from Cyanogen.
This is a very unthemed build. The lock screen and such are generic.
The boot animation is customized and will not port to other builds.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4758619&postcount=960
So much to do so little time, I do feel like the "white rabbit"
Now includes dynamic swap. Rewrote the method of apps to sd for myTouch.
Build will move system apps, user apps, and dalvik to sd on a g1 device.
Build will install completely internal if using the T-Mobile myTouch.
This is a completely new method of doing a merge build so bear with me.
Based on the System Image from Haykuro
Using the Kernel and modules from JacSki
Try rm system/sd/app_s if you feel new apps are not installing.

http://twistedumbrella.googlepages.com/index.htm
All the necessary files can be found there, including my GScripts.
This is also where all the download links to NEW versions are posted
Housekeeping:
Back everything up. This means run some sort of data backup if you want to keep your settings
You may also want to run a nandroid backup in recovery (if all else fails, you can restore it)
Warnings:
You MUST have the newest SPL
You MUST have a Class 6 SD Card
You MUST know how to read
You MUST have 3 partitions
You MUST have at least 256MB EXT
You MUST have Recovery1.4 or above

He most likely got the idea on his own. I just think since ZeroXd didn't get any real response he didn't notice it had LED support about a week before the 1.3 refresh was even posted. Ask the kids on twitter about back when I came up with the looney idea and how it killed auto-rotate. I threw in an old version of the codes before someone asked if I had seen the thread. I was still using ones ported from my GScript from months ago. Haha, whatever makes a better build. I'm glad to see both Drizzy and JAC getting SOME use out of something I had a part in. Hell, Shafty figured out the commands, I just got lucky figuring out where to place them.

wow, this is kinda when jac and drizzy was working together and it seemed like jac took all the credit in the built. well thats good we still got devs that supprt each other and not use ones idea and run away with it.

I love this black is a nice color! good **** twisted!

Thanks man. I was telling you before, all about the INVERT. Haha. Make it all black, hit invert, all white. Kinda had to go a bit grey though for visibility. I would have left Champion the way it is but I couldn't help it when I figured out that boot animation trick. Anyway, both downloads are live.

Im running it, it seems to run very nice its real smooth think this might be my main rom, Nice work mate.

Sorry to be the first one to post that I cant get past the Hero boot. I wiped, then "rm" my ext4, then wiped again, then applied rom, 3 times now. but all get stick in hero boot. btw its the casper one.

{ 2010-04-24 } [PORT][CH] MT Slide to 32B [AnySPL] Mrkt & WiFi 'very' fixed!

A Very quick port of the Mytouch Slide Leak.
Credits : Vega, his files made it boot
Upload date 2010-04-22
Download at the bottom of this post
Very Quick 'status' list
Hangover edition v003c
WiFi - Fixed - honestly its fixed now
Market - Fixed - I know , I know , you have no reason to believe me
Theme Switching ( MyMode ) - Fixed
YouTube, sound no video
Gmail seems working, until you try to read one
Browser not working, stock or third party- looks like an issue with binder, this is what I want to fix next
the MyTouch Music player works
FullScreen weather - better , but sun 'shines' blue, idkw
Silly Bootanimation, - Replace by pushing to /data/local/bootanimation.zip
lots of other things untested/ not working
I'm sure that will be amended/appended
Main Features
MT3G friendly a2sd
CacheHack - 3 in 1 Flashable Zip
Auto swap ( you have a swap partition , it will find it and set it up )
AnySPL
[*]Eng/Hard/Stock aka NoneDanger
[*]Death/Haykuro aka Danger
[*]Any MT3G SPL​
One zip does it all?
yeap,
I get the recovery program to run a shell script, this script looks at the size of mtdblock4 ( the 'cache' partition ) and then creates symbolic links based on what 'SPL' it has determined, then the rest of the ROM is flashed, the files follow the links and .. well its like someone sat down and thought about the best way to use the space
At some point I would like to look at getting that shell script generated so that it can very easy to apply to any rom.
Danger I do have to admit that the Danger version is a bit of a 'quick fix', around 20mb is idle on /system, I'll look at improving on that.
At the moment all the system apps are on data, but as app_IS, with a little bit of 'moving and re-linking' we can trigger a2sd to do its thing
Edit 2010-04-24: system apps are going to sd by default now
NoneDanger is as good as it can get on the G1, got a couple of mb free space on system, and that will likely improve as the 'bad apps' are weeded out
I currently have 37mb free on data, yeah I know for some reason people want this empty, why? its faster than sd
MT3G ok, so you don't have a keyboard , but space you have lots of space
The script will chop this 164mb rom in two and share it across /system and /cache leaving the 295mb /data partition free for dalvik-cache, user apps and setting/files

Uploading a new version
fingers crossed, working for everyone.....

NB, WiFi, themes (MyMode) and market
no browser yet...

Current Patches

FR-FavesFix4-003c_S.zip
Should be able to flash straight after the main 'ROM', if it does fail, just reboot straight back to recovery and flash the fix again
#########################
Instructions !!
OK, this is a very early release, consider it Alpha, the ROM is Huge and as such it takes a good while for it to settle.
If you 'went in' a little early you will see FC's , and it will look real bad...
But trust me , its fine
Reboot by pressing call + end and then menu, and let it settle
One it gets settled in it actually does quite well, much better than I had hoped
and I have not done any tweaking yet, just got it to boot
Edit : 2010-04-24 - Its actually quite stable on a first boot now
But still give it a couple of minutes, and do the full sign in
( i.e. don't charge in to do a market sign in, never understood why that was needed )
Missing widgets?
probably 'logged in' a little too quick
if widgets seem to be missing, then
settings --> applications --> manage applications --> menu(key) --> filter --> all --> HTC sense --> clear data
should make them all available
Make Backups?
you need
[UTIL] BART-1.2.0 Backup and Restore Tool
Now supports backup and restore of CacheHack ROMs
Anyway, I hope you enjoy
feel free to use as a base,

Just a Kernel , so flash it last

A quick note on patching CacheHack ( or any ROM )
Just wanted to make a quick post on Patching this ROM, and any ROM for that matter
as stuff is on cache, and is in different places dependent on the SPL symlinks are are 'broken'
So, we fix them in the update script
mountall.sh
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
mount -a
if [ -d /system/csys ];
then
mount -o bind /cache /system/csys
fi
now, in your update-script the top line should read
Code:
run_program PACKAGE:mountall.sh
assuming that mountall.sh is in the root of the zip
now, when the update-script runs the mountall.sh
all partitions get mounted, and if /system/csys directory exists it bind mounts /cache to it
All of the symlinks will now work
so , if your replacing a file in /system/lib the link will be followed
Danger its actually /system/lib/
NoneDanger and MT3G its /cache/system/lib ( or /system/csys/system/lib )
this also means you can easily do
Code:
copy_dir PACKAGE:system
where in the zip
system/
system/lib/libWatstis.so
system/app/SomeSystem.apk
libWatstis.so ends up in the right place
as does SomeSystem.apk, even if its on the sd ,
( /system/app >> /data/app_s >> /system/sd/app_s )
in the past, to 'upgrade' a system app on sd, people would delete /data/app_s ( as it was a symlink ) which would break things for anyone not using a2sd
nb, the mountall script should be in unix format, else it will fail !!!

a third post

Silly edit is silly, will test out later.

So much win coming soon. Thanks for the post. Is the AnySPL a no-wipe from your first one?
I noticed I can't change scenes. Just does nothing-- is that me or a bug to be worked on? And the bloatware makes me think I bought an ATT phone all over again, lol. There's a lot of room for improvement. Just when I was getting bored with Legend, got a new toy to play with.

just checking before i get too far in this is the cfs-3d kernel on this rom already or do we flash that one over this rom also?

Let see
Giving this a try right now on my Mt3g... Will let you know how I go.

Hmm, hadn't thought of that
/system and /cache get wiped by the script, but I leave /data alone
it might get touchy about it with no wipe
One of the things I want to do is the deal with the whole wipe thing, I personally don't wipe, if it works , if not then I wipe

do i still have to flash the kernel from the other post on top of it?

Thanks for this
Umm since there is no BootScreen how long does it usually take to boot ? because i am kinda iffy on weather i should wipe again and flash
(been booting for about 5 mins)

whats the diff between this one and the other slide rom?

This fast already...
Wow, I have no idea wether it's your Cache hack working well or that this ROM just works better with the mt3g but I can't believe this is the first release. Looking forward to everything working... Will use this as my everyday ROM for sure!.

This rom is a absolute beast, and along with the new themes I seriously doubt that you will find another rom as stable and fast as this one with all the extra features. My final thanks to everyone involved, especially Firerat for putting up with my devin, the black bar as before, just select Black Stock theme and reboot under CM Settings > Tweaks > Select a Theme. Here is the bootanimations folder. If you want me to add a theme or boot animation or both, PM me with the link, I can't catch everyone's comment postings, thanks! Now for the links:

1.6.2 is a full rom. Themers, have at it. This rom is huge, and includes all of the new cm6 features. Also Pershoot's wonderful kernel's are now available in this rom. This is a full rom, which means yes you have to wipe, but you don't need to wipe your ext partition
SparksMod Team Contributors: Everyone listed here including myself with the exception of Six6Sicks and castaway1 also helps with testing, since testing only on one device is not really that good of an idea
Six6Sicks-For the awesome boot animation, hope we see more in the future
castaway1-For the awesome themes
Crisvillani-For the Mytouch 32A SparksMod port and Sense UI mods, themes, and is also very helpfull
Blahbl4hblah: Video reviews, and lot's of good help on the threads
Jay S: For the new bootanimations and wallpapers
Keep up the good work everyone! Including myself!
Sources
Code:
So everyone has been wanting to whole history on a2ext and what not so here it is as an attachment. If possible this will be added to OP soon Also I'm currently working on writing up other sources as well. But as far as the theme goes I did port it over from the samsung moment phone which can be seen here:
[url]http://www.sdx-developers.com/sdx/dj07-black-chrome/[/url]
Also don't go thinking you can just go flash this theme and it will work on cm6.1.0 roms, um because that won't work
Also credits to Lithid for the png brute method script used to optimize the png's: [url]http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/user/2311-lithid/[/url]
Windows animations can be seen here. All of the transitions are from here except for two .xml's: [url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814072[/url]
Crisvillani added in two xml's that are needed to work on cm6.1.0 framework, which are slide_in_left.xml and slide_in_right.xml
The market source, made by pendo. Although not sure what thread it is on, here is his profile, so you can thank him for the market

Android color wash boot animation I ported over from the evo 4g from here:
[url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=806737[/url]
and the current htc waving android one I made from this animation:
[url]http://img189.imageshack.us/i/bootm.gif/[/url]
So what are these and what do they do?:
Well they are for the pulldown bar that allows you to swipe your notifications away either to the left or the right. So far I have only seen them in cm6.1.0 based roms. Without these, we would not have that function and would result in soft reboots if not present.
I highly recommend you use these only if you know what your doing when it comes to fastboot and adb. On the other hand, if you are familiar with fastboot and adb commands, it's really a very simple process to install these on your phone. Do not post questions or comments to me on this thread on how to install this spl and radio as all of the instructions are on Ezterry's OP. I really don't have time to be walking everyone through this procedure. Ezterry has been and is very helpful, so I'm sure he will respond to all of your questions.
All SparksMod instructions for wiping: Do a data factory reset!
1. Flash rom
2. All finished!
3. Very Important!: After first boot go to CM Settings > Application Location > Check "allow moving of applications" > Install location > Automatic
*DO NOT CHANGE COMPCACHE SETTINGS TO ANYTHING OR YOU LOSE THE 32% COMPCACHE HACK!
4. After step 4, Do these settings as well:
-Spare Parts settings: Set transitions windows and animations to fast
-Set CM Settings > "Enable Surface Ditcher", "lock home in memory", enable "JIT", enable "lock messaging in memory", change "VM" to 32
*Changelog will be in the download section
* If you decide you want to try swap, make sure you disable Compcahce first:
Swap:
Code:
su
system/bin/swappy on
-Disable Compcache
-Reboot, set up swap
-Reboot
-all done!
Black theme is default.Go to Cyanogenmod Settings > User Interface > Tweaks extras > Select a Theme > Stock Black. Then reboot. You can overclock this kernel up to 614mhz.
All full SparksMod rom do currently require wiping the system before flashing, but believe me it is worth it. SparksMod-1.6.1 is a very simple to flash.. Just flash rom and gapps and your done.
Ok so I have a way to check and see if apps2ext is working or not. Type these codes into terminal emulator. First restore all of your apps and reboot phone. Go to terminal emulator and type:
Code:
$ su

I have created a Goodies Folder which is now available for download. Do not flash these right after flashing anything else before or after! These must be flashed separately from everything else.
Code:
sh /system/etc/apk-remover.txt
su first if using terminal
I would really like it if you all could please start posting comments on my Cyanogenmod forums profile, or you can pm me as well on there. This will be more for troubleshooting issues and posting logcat's. This way the Cyanogenmod team can view and actively participate in these discussions. And don't forget to donate to the Cyanogenmod team, without them we would not even be here doing this right now!
Also check out my current post on my profile here as well to see what I'm up to!

Changelog
SparksMod-2.1-Auto!
-Stripped rom and made it completely stock
-Added in SM auto detect ext install script to decide weather or not to install Firerat's scripts from the AIO Patcher
-Added in Ezterry yes/no binary, and moded it a little to install either the stock kernel for danger spl and old radio, or the new ps 2708 ported kernel
-This is using the erase_image binary from superwipe V1 to sipe the system, but uses my syntax to use it and wipe other things as well. This rom will wipe the ext partition! Please do a data factory wipe before installing this rom!
-Other other stuff
I am open to feedback on any changes or ideas anyone has for future improvements.
Apps2ext partition is automatic
I have my new laucherpro settings that work pretty well for me, so feel free to download often.
If you want Chrome2Phone to work, you will need to install the chrome to phone extension on your chrome browser here: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/oadboiipflhobonjjffjbfekfjcgkhco[/CODE]
I recommend downloading or installing SetCpu so you can control the speeds to see what works good for you as far as battery life and speed combined. I set mine at 537mhz and it's still fast without too much battery drain.

Note: All downloads will be the still in progress roms. Backup your apps and do a nandroid backup before flashing!

thats not true either, almost all of them except cyan's are themed

Is this based on htcclay's superfly?

Preparing to flash now

Is there app2ext?
CM7 IN-STEREO ((WHERE AVAILABLE))

Using this rom with 574mhz overclocked and vatsense theme with compcache on. Seems to run pretty smooth so far. Is this quicker than the stock Cyanogen?

It seems to run quicker yes, but make sure you look at the changelog, because I will try to update as much as possible.

so I tried running this with the 614 OC kernel, and it started stuttering, dropped it back down to 576 and works like a charm. Any advice, or just a response?

The thing about the patch is that it enables swap and many other things automaticly on boot, and then you have to disable the things that you don't need like the facebook sync fix. The new nightlies work with facebook sync now. You can download the patch from here and run the script off of your sdcard, and select only the commands you wish to. I'm sure Firerat would be more than happy to explain to you what all of the commands do, but otherwise the apps2sdext command should work fine. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679572

It doesn't open at all? I just tried mine and it works. What version of the rom are you using? Also it could be the gapps, I've heard people have had a lot of problems with the gapps. I removed amazon from my gapps and resigned them, I'll update a good gapps link. I should have a new rc3 based update tonight with the new gapps as well.

testing the ROM since the past day
all things are going great untill the compcache dumped me i turned it off and enabled swap by firerat patch 138b, things are again going great now
one I want "Old Phone" and "Digital Phone" Ring tones back
2nd is that the keyboard is a too contrast in coloring... it is having strain on eyes... specially in low light conditions... so i would like the colors of the keyboard to be a bit to the duller side ... may be inspired by the original keyboard
3rd i would recomend to try use swap instead of compcache if some programs are shutting down due to low memory

[Q] Is Can We have Dual-Boot Kernel ??

Is this is possible for i9003 to have dual-boot kernel like galaxy s2(i9100) that can run dual rom i.e. One stock rom and other is any Custom rom. That can help in development in our mobile too. By having the stock rom which has no lag and rom which we want to develop or use as another our another rom which has some bugs i.e. CM9.
Looking forward for affermative reply thanx.

in curren situation its very difficult. Sgs2 have number of developers but we have very limited kernel developers.

NO
I'm sorry, but we can't have it for a lot of simple reason.
Kernel developers are really few than others device
Space in internal flash, Doomlord must compress its kernel for 8 megabyte boot partition, i don't think it's possible include 2 different init in ramdisk, with 2 rom flashed, we haven't Cyanogen Kernel or Miui Kernel it's supported and stable ^^
Sense, what's the sense to do this? choose your favourite and use only it, it's not sense imho
PS: It's sirya kernel feature ^^ not as i9100

Personally for me i like both stock ics and cm9.. i used dual boot because sometimes i feel like running cm9 then sometimes i feel like running stock ics.. when gokhanmoral first posted about dual boot i honestly thought i won't even use it. But last week it came to me that it is very tiring to backup a rom, flash a new one, after it gets boring, restore to the backed up rom etc. I then tried the dual boot thing and never looked back Since i am a flashaholic it is good for me
Hope it comes to sgsl soon so that in the primary rom you can have a stable one and in the secondary rom you can have an experimental one just in case you need to test something or what not. It's a some sort of remedy for a flashaholic like me

I dont think its are the same of Galaxy SII
Anyway , yes, for testing purpose it can help, but if with android's customization : if you are tired of your rom you can change theme IMHO
Waiting to more expert like Doomlord or dhiru for see if it's possible

That's also what i was thinking. We need 2.1gb in internal sd card and additional 2.1gb if you want to swap roms. I think if you put those partition in external sd then it may lag. Anyway, nothing's impossible. Was just stating the advantage of dual boot

Thanx everyone for reply..!!
And for your precious answer. But it is not about tired of any rom anf etc. It is for Dual rom for same time that can help to boot in favorite and experimental rom which you want to use in future.
And SII has 1.97 gb inbuilt memory around as we have 1.85 gb. And i thinks that 2 roms of 300 mb reqires 600 mb. Its just calculation may be i am wrong because i dont know too much about boot partition memory sorry but there is some chance so lets hope

A 300mb rom when flashed or extracted can go up to 1gb+
