[PORT][32A/32B][Old radio]ahmgsk's Eclair 2.1 - EXPERIMENTAL, working 3D (Mar 2nd)

For the last couple of days I've been trying to get Eclair 3D acceleration running on 32A with old radio. I was somehow succesful so I decided to release one Sense based ROM port and one "plain" Eclair. I had succes with other ROMs though (not all of them, but a few). Edit March 2nd - It now seems that it works on 32B/G1 as well, so I've added the porting package for those phones, see below.
This ROM is highly experimental! So bear that in mind. The only testing I've done is here on my own Magic - I am not using any ext3/ext4 partition for app2sd, for example, so I'm not sure how it behaves if you use one.
I've added a few things here and there that are essential to me like Market Enabler, More Locale 2, some ringtone and notification files and mixed in a few files from other Eclair ROMs to get a few things working. I've also changed the default analog clock (the Android widget, not HTC widget) to Pulse clock.
Thanks to:
ahmgsk (obviously), Kingclick, Cyanogen and all the other devs working on his kernel source, Amon_RA, all OpenEclair devs, polyrhytmic, dzo, vilord and many others.
What seems to work:
- 3D acceleration seems to work fine. I can get about 20fps in Neocore benchmark. I've also tested Radiant, Armadillo Roll and iDracula and they all seem to work. 3D Gallery works as well.
- Multitouch works
- Camera works, mostly - no video recording, though. If you take picture, it shows a garbled screen for a moment, but the picture itself is taken just fine.
- GPS and accelerometer work
- LED notifications work, all colors
- Bluetooth MIGHT work, needs testing. But you can enable it.
- Google Sync seems to work just fine
What seems not to work:
- YouTube and video playback in gallery doesn't work at all for now. Sorry.
Known Issues:
- Rather slow on startup. Give it time to start up fully, even after you see the home screen. You may even get a few "App not responding - FC/Wait?" warnings - just click on Wait and give it more time. But after it starts, it seems pretty fast to me. It's no SuperD, but still quite fast, I'd say.
- Live wallpapers are problematic and I'd recommend staying away from them. Some work (not very fast, though), some don't.
- Launcher 2 is problematic. I've kept it in the ROM and it certainly looks nice, but I've had all sorts of problems when I had it enabled, including long phone freezes, terrible lag in applications and other. I'd HIGHLY recommend just using the "normal" launcher (it's "Nexus style" anyway).
Note:
Take this port "as is" 'cause I probably won't support it much. I think of it more as a "proof of concept" that seemed too cool to me not to share it with others, but I don't have enough time to offer full support or work on it much these days. Maybe I'll release another version someday, maybe not. Sorry. I'm just being honest here.

I will check it inmediatly...

but this driver 3d not work on magic 32b??Why not come out yet for the ROM 32b?

It might, as I don't think the solution here is specific to 32A. I'll maybe try to make a 32B kernel soon and let someone test it. Right now, I've yet to hear about this working for someone else on 32A other than me

Im flashing it ATM.
Give me a few minutes

ok when you relase a 32b Kernel,Warn

Well, i flashed it.
You're right, 3D is working
I tried it with SpeedX and Hyper Space, and they both are working. Not as fast as it would on a donut based rom (looks like the frame rate is a little lower) but they are absolutely working.
Launcher2 is still a bit laggy.
Some Live Wallpapers aren't working, they forced the phone to restart.
The gallery is working.
There are some bugs (like pressing the home button while in an app, will sometimes block my phone) that forced me to remove the battery.
This rom is not working enough for a daily use, but you did a great job.
Waiting for a bug fix Imma try the hero port now

Good to know, thanks!
BTW, as I've mentioned in the first post, I don't recommend using Launcher 2, it causes all sorts of weird issues with this ROM. And I also mention that live wallpapers are problematic and you should just stay away from them
Oh, and as for the framerates in 3D - in my experience they're actually slightly higher on average than with my own SuperD port I'm now using as a day-to-day ROM (I miss Sense UI, but 1.5 is starting to lag behind on all the interesting stuff, so...).

Case_ thx for working on this
i could not work becoz my tester was on new radio
i hope u get my hero 2.1 working too

From what I gather, this is a KERNEL modification that makes the HERO drivers work with this "old radio", correct?
Could you please provide the kernel diff (patch)?

ahmgsk: You're welcome. I'm always somehow uneasy as to what the reaction of the original dev would be when I'm using and perhaps modifying someone else's work, so thanks for this
I'll try to follow the progress of most Eclair ROMs but I'm gonna be quite busy for at least the next week or so, so no promises on any other updates or more ports (but I'd LOVE to have a reliable Sense UI ROM with Android 1.6 or higher, I can tell you that - Kinglick's Eclair Hero is close, but still not close enough to rely on it on day-to-day basis). I'm glad I managed to at least steal the weekend for Android for once and got this working, more or less.

lbcoder: Actually, there's really not much to patch. I've spent countless hours trying to port parts of the Kaiser kernel as discussed in one of the G1 forum threads, yet in the end I've ended up using pretty much just the plain vanilla Cyanogen Eclair kernel sources with only the camera code backported from the Donut sources to get the camera working (but I can certainly provide some kind of diff if need be).
Then there's the permission problem with /dev/msm_hw3dc and /dev/msm_hw3dm that on most Eclair ROMs needs fixing (chmod 666 and chmod 660 in init.rc, respectively).
And then it might or might not be an issue with the contents of /system/lib/egl and /system/lib/hw (and perhaps some other libs as well) which, I'm sorry to say, I've yet to fully test. Those from ahmgsk's AME Eclair seem to work, but looks to me like it's not exclusively just those, that it might work with some others as well. I know it's not very professional (but I've said it many times, I'm no dev and certainly no coder, I'm just determined and persistent ), but I honestly didn't have time to test those different libraries fully, sorry. I was just trying to get something as usable as possible and share it with others so they may perhaps investigate further. Though it somehow amazes me that I of all people got it working when there's so many people with coding and Android knowledge WAY beyond my own here (which is not that hard to achieve, anyway)

i hav no problem when u use my rom
its no probs -> but i m glad 32A (old radio) users are getting this. i m working on hero rom i think i can try to get everything working
for now videos and all are working
now some widgets n network is remaining (mostly solved) v2 coming soon

YouTube and video playback in gallery doesn't work at all
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Why? I remember in the original ahmgsk 's ROM they are working as well...
What has been changed from the old to the new Radio/SPL to break the YouTube/Gallery video playback?

As for the "why?", that's a very good question I'd really like to know the answer to.
As for "what has changed" - the kernel has changed (had to for the ROM to work with the old radio) and with it all the "drivers". I'm not happy that YouTube and video doesn't work, but I don't have much time to investigate further right now. And until now, neither did Eclair 3D acceleration with the old radio, so I guess it's still progress.
I'm sure someone will figure it out eventually.

Added links for 32B/G1 porting package. Yes, 3D really seems to work on those phones as well.

how do I apply the 32B patch?
just replace the files with the once from teh original zip file , repack it, and then apply the new zip?

I guess I figured it out,
download both zip files, apply zip one, then apply the 2nd one other the other.
replacing files wont work because of the files within the "META-INF" folder

[ROM] DamageControl v1.0 - Sense 2.1 w/video rec - LIGHTNING FAST! - 100% complete!

DamageControl Sense 2.1 ROM - Espresso optional! - 100% complete!
PLEASE READ THIS POST BEFORE YOU POST!!!
This ROM is now 100% for a reason! Please read below!
Why is this 100%
There is a fix for *nearly* every problem - just search the thread!
For things there isn't a fix for, there is a workaround that works better
The rest of the problems are problems that cannot be fixed until there is a better leak, we get our hands on the source of the kernel, or Sprint releases something. However, it should be noted that the problems are extremely minimal. Microscopic, even.
EVERYTHING IN THIS ROM IS FUNCTIONAL/SIZE]
There are workarounds to nearly everything. Things that cannot be fixed are problems with the leak itself. There is really no reason not to upgrade to this ROM as far as functionality is concerned - problems are MICROSCOPIC!!! If you believe the Sprint update really is going to come in two weeks, go ahead and use this ROM now! Changing to the official one will be easy!
This thread is 225+ pages long, you CAN and WILL find a fix to find a fix if you look for it!!!
Installation Steps:
-Download whichever ROM you want between Espresso or Normal (Decaf?)
-Rename the file to update.zip and flash like you would any other ROM. Note: it may be a good idea to wipe EVERYTHING!!! You MUST flash if you are coming from a different ROM.
If the ROM fails to boot, wipe your ext partition!!!
To get Apps2SD (Applications are stored on your SD card - must be partitioned!
-PARTITION YOUR SD CARD
MMS Problems?:
-If you have MMS problems, download this: http://damageless.kingspond.com/signed-mms-fix.zip
-Rename to update.zip and flash it to your phone.
-NOTE THAT HANDCENT WILL NOT SEND MMS!!! THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WE CAN FIX!!!
Other reported problems:
-Handcent will not send MMS. This is a problem with every 2.1 ROM and is not something that we can fix.
Tethering:
-Wifi tether is included.
-If you refuse to tether using wifi, you can use EasyTether Lite or something similar that is available in the Market.
Worse signal?
-You do not have a worse signal because of this ROM. It has less bars at the top.
Apps force closing all the time?
-Boot into recovery, go to Other and select the Fix UID option.
Invalid authentication with Google
-There is something wrong that is fairly deep, but it is a problem with the leak of the Eris 2.1 ROM. This only happens when you have a message or voicemail waiting.
Voicemail notification
-Go into the menu, then go to settings, click the call menu and then click Clear Voicemail Notification. Also make sure you change the voicemail service number to your own number!!!
Visual Voicemail
Use Google Voice or Youmail. We need something from Sprint to get Visual Voicemail to work.
Battery Life
Your battery life shouldn't change much. If you are experiencing problems, try the 'airplane mode' fix, and check your CDMA PRL settings.
Other Problems?:
-Try rebooting.
-If that doesn't work, backup your device through nandroid and then wipe everything!
-Search, then post. There are over 1,000 posts here, most likely someone has experienced the same problem as you.
SEARCH THE THREAD!!!
FAQ
Why won't Handcent send MMS?
Because it is an incompatibility issue.
Why can't I send MMS?
Because either you are not on Sprint or you need to apply the fix.
What is the difference between Espresso and the normal version?
Check the screenshots.
What about Visual Voicemail?
Until we get something from Sprint, this won't work. However, you can use Google Voice or you can use Youmail. Both work great.
My Google Voice doesn't work!
Use version 0.20 to fix it.
Bank of America, other apps don't work
Looking into this problem...
Superuser shows up blank
Make sure you have debug mode on.
What's Next for this ROM?:
I will continue to update this ROM with small fixes and things that are nice, but I consider this fully functional. I am going to work on smaller things that will enhance the ROM a bit. This isn't the last update!
About this ROM:
I decided to make this ROM after some other ROMs just weren't working out for me. Things were far too buggy, didn't seem to work very well, and it all seemed a little clunky. I decided that I would try to combine the best of the ROMs, not doing it the typical way (by just combining stuff I like), but by combining things to make it functional. This ROM is meant to be fast, stable and reliable. I will not add things that will load down the system or kill battery life.
I decided on the name (with help) because of the recent problems on XDA. The community was not united, and I thought the best way to unite everyone was to bring in a new ROM with a new vision and focus. This ROM has been incredibly successful in this way, thanks to those who started this ROM's thread out the right way. I believe we have a lot of good spirit here and we can continue with the attitude of helping one another and helping one another out, all personal interests aside.
I hope that you enjoy this ROM and find that it suits your needs.
Make sure you wipe if you are coming from a different ROM!!!

I am usually not someone who asks for donations, however I am getting married soon and it certainly wouldn't hurt. You can donate whatever by clicking here. I strongly believe in open source and in developers working together towards a common good. I hope you all enjoy the ROM and that we can build this together.

Dam that's why I though I had some problems with my ADB but yes I agree with u in couple things I think the Rom is a lol crude but hey this guy did a great work making the cam work so maybe that is the reason why he miss somethings

Yes way. Try it.

Check your thread. I got your Rom this morning and loved it except there were too many bugs. I don't mean any disrespect. I will probably switch to your ROM when you get it worked out.

More 2.1 oh joy. Does this Rom fix the Facebook sync bug?

Good intentions, but way to burn the person responsible FOR EVERYTHING IMPORTANT WORKING! In the future try to not offend the real devs.
All that aside, I'll give it a try and let you know what I find.

As I said, I don't mean to offend anyone. This simply worked for me and I thought others would be interested.

wow...ev3erything works.cam n video...thanx......fast too...more test will report back.work with new radio too

ADB works fine as long as you have the latest HTC Drivers from the HTC Sync software install and you set your phone to HTC Sync mode.

I can confirm protected and paid apps show in the marketplace. I can see...
- Google Goggles
- Twidroid
- ChompSMS
- Reality Browser 3.0
- Weatherbug Elite
- ShopSavvy
- Barcode Scanner
...and others too.
Nice!

I will clean it up a bit tomorrow and do some "real dev" work - (I have the skills but not th

You're the first to fix video recording! I wouldn't call that "did very little".

Why would people even make any 2.1 roms after flipz roms?
His Roms are like the best no one can competite with him

Does wifi work for anyone? I can't seem to get it to start on this rom. It errors saying: "Unable to start Wi-Fi"

damageless said:
Alright, all I have done is taken some things from the gumbo ROM and the Fresh ROM to make a fully functional (as far as I can tell), 2.1 Sense UI ROM, signed it, and here it is for someone else.
I'm not sure if this will be useful to anyone or not. I will not maintain this ROM as I do not take any credit for doing anything other than combining some files and signing it. I am also going to modify a few things to get it working a little better and tweak it a bit, but it isn't something I plan on maintaining.
The only reason I did this was because I was very disappointed in the ROM that flipzmode released because of how many things he broke trying to do his own thing. I was hoping he would release something functional before he decided to go mod everything but oh well.
The one thing I have noticed is that ADB doesn't recognize the device. This probably has something to do with the kernel but like I said, I'm not providing support for this, just providing the resource. I'm sure something better will be released soon, but what the heck.
Again, I am not taking credit for anything here. Please donate to those who created the ROMs.
I should mention that I haven't tried visual voicemail and I am guessing it isn't working. Not sure if we have to wait for Sprint to come out with something or not.
I should mention that I have gotten Sprint TV to work on this, I'm not sure why other people are having problems. However, if you want Sprint TV, then you should simply copy the apk from your old ROM to the new one.
I will also update this to include apps2sd tomorrow. Also maybe get adb working. - I don't consider these to tools to be something that people use on a day-to-day basis which is why I call this fully-functioning. I also haven't fully tested everything, but as far as I can tell, everything works.
It is nice to have camera and video recording, though. All apps seem to show up in the Market. It does show Verizon stuff, and I need to make sure everything is on Sprint, but I will update it tomorrow to be a bit better. This is just a quick release. I will clean it up a bit, add some things to make it more functional and then release a better version.

Would you mind listing what exactly works I'm this Rom that did not work in Fresh 2.0b?
I am a little confused as to what exactly this Rom contains, and what gap you are attempting to fill by posting it.

[ROM][32B] KiNgxKxKlair DroidEris2G1 WG kernel with ramhack (updated Mar 13 1pm GMT)

Disclaimers first:
1) The original ROM thread is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642643. Read it for details of what works, what doesn't. I've posted this in a new thread, because I didn't want to derail King's thread with an "unofficial" hack of his ROM, which might potentially generate support requests and people claiming there are problems that aren't down to his work.
2) I deserve no plaudits for this. All I did was rip the kernel (and, as it turned out, I also needed the wlan.ko) out of OpenEclair and shove it into King's ROM.
3) This also includes the fixes by xSunny and Vega over in the original thread (in fact it's based on Sunny's Nexus boot .zip file)
4) The WG kernel doesn't work with 2.1 3D. So I figured we might as well have the RAM hack and get our 10Mb back. SO DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO TRY TO RUN 3D APPS ON THIS - THEY WILL RUN LIKE A DOG. If you want Sense AND 3D, use King's original ROM.
5) As always with ROMs, I am not responsible for anything that might happen, e.g. your phone getting bricked, the world undergoing a total existence failure, etc. If you don't agree with that assertion don't flash this.
Right, that's over with. So what is this?
King's original ROM, especially with the tweaks made by Sunny and Vega is a beautiful bit of work. It's the first Sense ROM that's actually been usable on my phone. However, it has a BFS kernel and I absolutely *hate* BFS with a passion. I personally don't think it helps performance that much, and the way it makes the device miss half of your finger swipes so it's like having a resistive screen again. So I decided to see how the WG kernel worked out, being (IMO) the best kernel around at the moment.
I used the non-ram hack WG kernel from OpenEclair initially, and got good results, but on my Magic 32b (what you Yanks would call a MT3G ) the ramhack kernel is a frelling BEAST. This makes Sense feel as smooth as Dwang's Donut.
Enough yakking, give it a try, give some feedback. And most importantly, enjoy and have fun.
Requirements:
* FAT-EXT4-SWAP partitions on your SD. That's EXT4. Not EXT3 or EXT2. You'll get gapps FCs left, right and center if you ignore this little infonugget.
* A nice big SWAP. I've got 106Mb. But at least 96Mb.
Non-RAM hack version - this is a bit pointless now, as 3D doesn't work anyway so you might as well have the ramhack version, but just in case:

Thanks to King, Sunny, Vega, WG - and please note my total contribution on this has been in total about 2 hours tops. I'm just the bloke who mixed the cocktail. Those other guys are the master distillers.

What about a version without A2SD??

both of them get broken camera. will u fix it?

This is the fastest Sense ROM I ever used on my 32b!
This thing is perfect and runs like hell!
Please fix the bug with the weatheranimation on homescreen and the camera bug!
If that is fixed, this ROM is really perfect!
Thanks for it!

Great Job!!!
very very fast and stable
BRAVO !!
Massimo - Milan Italy

Is it possible to flash the latest update 1.1.2 from KingxKxKlair over this rom?
So the weatheranimation bug would be fixed!
Anybody has an idea if that works?

Wow, I just put this on my phone and it just zooms along. Really great. If anything changes I let you know but very happy so far.

Sorry if i missed this but which radio and spl should i use for this I have a mt3g [magic 32b]if some one could reply or point me in the right direction i would be much obliged thanks in advance,

I'm going to try it using Fireat's modified A2SD and see how it works.

OK So I got it all installed and man does it fly, however all of the Google Apps are missing. I was hoping that Fireat's modified version of A2SD would allow this ROM to work. I'm almost motivated enough by the speed of this ROM to figure out how to fix it, just not yet.

Should have clarified. In my previous post I was trying to get it to work without an EXT partition.
I'm trying it now with an EXT partition to see how it goes. Loccy, did you include any of the patches from the original or is this based off of the 1.0?

Added the EXT4 and I can confirm that this ROM is fast!

Yeah, this Rom is awesome fast!
The only bad thing is that the wheateranimations don't work on the homescreen!
May be someone can fix this bug?

I updated with kings last update to fix the wheatherbug, but I'm on kings kernel again when updating and it slows down this rom. So in this way it's not possible to fix the bug...damn. Anyone has another idea??
I want to use this fast rom, but I want to have the wheatheranimations on homescreen!

Google Login
Hello.
Love the ROMs speed but it won't let me log into my google account. Under the account option it just reads "google_login". On startup I had an app force close. It was the Google Partner Login Service or something similar. I think I'd be right in guessing that's where my problem lies. I can't into either the market or my Gmail account. A bit of a problem.
Any ideas?
P.S. Just seen the error again. "Google Partner Setup" force closes. Any workarounds or anyone having the same issue?

Does this Sense have the pinch feature to select the various panels?

Just flashed this and i will give you some feedback momentarily.
I just came from Kingklicks and it was nice so im excited for this one.

So far so good.
Camera/Camcorder doesn't work.
Full screen weather as has been mentioned.
Get more widgets doesn't seem to work under 'add htc widgets'
The ASTRO that is preinstalled is expired, need the updated one although you can update it yourself. Same goes for BACKup PRO
Also same problem as the old rom, cant delete sim sms and can't hide sim contacts in the contacts.
I think that about covers it.
I have no fc, everything seems to work pretty good and the ROM is pretty damn fast.
Great work, i agree this is way better then the BFS.
All around though good work from everyone.
Looking forward to updates!
And btw im running EXT4, 256swap

---------------------------------------------------------------------------​I've never understood why Sense roms always had to be SOOOO slow on my MT3G and have only gotten less reliable with Overclocking and JIT compiling; I was also really tired of the randomly *****y screen and keyboard - you know, where you're typing and it pauses for 10 seconds, then puts in a symbol instead of your letter? Or how about ****TY battery life and lag on incoming calls so bad I miss most of them and get nothing but voicemails. I want the features, but I've been using Donut roms instead because Sense has sucked. Till now.
Several weeks ago I found an old 2.1 Sense rom by Drizzy that f***in' flew like nobody's business, but everything was broken in it (see the original thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=677518 ). I've been working since then to fix everything that was broken, add new features and all the while, keep the speed of the original rom as my number one priority.
Well, I've been working on this non stop (as you can see from my myriad of posts in chef central) while learning android from the ground up. After nearly a month (I think) here's my first beta!
HappyRom v0.05 BETA by Aeltrius - This rom, all by itself, is faster than any JIT, OC'd Sense rom out there. Even on the G1 without touching setCPU - this is CONFIRMED!
- this rom is heavily based on work done by Drizzy and Eugene373.
Special thanks to Chiefz_Reloaded and Asuske/ts0cha0tik for lending a helping hand when I got pissed, being there to bounce ideas off of and testing out my private betas!
Additional thanks to Cyanogen for his detailed wiki's and King for all his work I've studied, as well as the developers of SetCPU, Spare Parts and the other apps I've included.
-------------------------
Requirements
G1
- Death SPL - MAY work on other SPL's - I haven't tested this on G1. It will probably work on Danger, too, but I won't guarantee that as I haven't had a chance to prove it
G1 & MT3G
- ext partition (you can use ext2/ext3/ext4 - your choice, ext2 has been the least tested, but it HAS worked)
- 96Mb Swap (128Mb Recommended!!!)
-------------------------
What works:
Wifi
Google Apps/G-Sync/Gmail/Google Talk/etc
Sense Widgets (except clock - check the bugs section)
Market
SMS/MMS
Email/Exchange
Music
Browser
SU
USB-Mounting
Youtube
Native LED support!!! - Still in very early stages but confirmed working on MT3G

Known Bugs
Video/Camera does not work right now - its my next thing to fix
Facebook sync half works - it sync's up, but doesn't link contacts
HTC Clock widget doesn't work
Photo Album does not work yet
Compcache does not work yet
HTC Setup Wizard MAY be touchey and weird on the G1. You can skip past it though, its not important - I need confirmation of this!!

Ummm.... well, I just about everything else should work, but this is a beta BECAUSE I need some additional testing done.
Installation Instructions for Newbies!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------​Don't get mad at me if you don't follow these!
1.) Make sure your SD card is properly formatted. My personal recommendation:
128Mb Swap
512 Mb ext(2|3|4)
2.) FULL WIPE!
3.) Flash the Zip and restart your phone
4.) Watch for the lockscreen. Once it appears, wait 2-3 minutes for the rom to settle. Skip through setup till you get to the Home screen "Loading..."
- During and after setup, you may get a message "calendar storage is not responding" a few times - just hit "wait". This goes away once you set up your Gmail Account.
5.) Wait for the Home Screen to load up, then give it a minute or 2. Open programs and hit your Market. Log into your Gmail here.
6.) Wait till your email is downloaded - phone will be slow for about 30-45 seconds until Gmail is synced up. Done
Once you give this thing a couple minutes to settle, its SUPER ****in fast.
-------------------------
EXTRA INSTRUCTIONS
NOW - this thing should be fast enough all by itself with no additional mods (hard to believe, but I'm serious) or tweaks but it has so far only been tested on the MT3G, so G1 users or needy MT3G users, I've included SetCPU in here so you can max out your CPU if you want it to be even faster. I've also added spare parts if you want to speed up window animations and such.
The first time you bring up the dialer it might be really slow, but after that it won't be.

This is still in BETA!!!!

READ THIS, DUMMY!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------​If you find a bug, I'd love to hear about it so I can fix it, but there's the thing.
If you tell me
"Some things don't work, fix them and I'll come back."

I can't track that, there' no way for me to know what the problem is! Tell me which app had a problem, what you were doing when it did, and if you're feeling generous, throw me a logcat while you're at it .
Finally, if you want me to be able to properly track and fix bugs - please,
keep this thread on topic
Native LED???
---------------------------------------------------------------------------​
For everyone who's wondering, as of page 2 of this thread, Native LED support has been *mostly* removed from my rom. A lot of people put a lot of time and effort into developing these custom roms for the community and they need to get credit for the work they've done. When a "signer" or Developer alike KNOWINGLY uses anyone else's code and purposefully claims it is their own without giving proper credit, I personally believe they don't deserve the end result of all that hard work.
I came into android only a few simple months ago, and only started digging into the code within the past month. I've read a lot, spent hours a day in front of my computer coding, flashing updates, testing and losing sleep to help develop a rom that people can use - a choice in a myriad of roms available. I have learned a lot and will continue to learn as I still consider myself an android "newbie". In this last month I've been promoted at work and have new responsibilities, lost my house because my landlord wasn't taking my monthly lease and paying the mortgage with it, found out that my wife has a rare disease called PCOD which will prevent us from having any more children and been temporarily institutionalized for trying to kill myself via alcohol poisoning. In all of this, I've continued to try to work for the community. I know other developers have gone through the same things, and more. These people put their lives on hold to help the community and they deserve recognition and respect.
I couldn't completely remove LED support since it exists in too many places throughout the rom, so there is a code base for any new developers to build off of, but right now it is not and will not be fully functioning.
Call me selfish, I think of myself as a credit to shunned developers everywhere. Until Zachattack stops begging on his twitter for his friends to spam and flame my thread, stops botting forums to advertise his roms in everyone else's threads and until he openly and publicly admits to all the developers he's ripped off, I will not release my native LED support. Not in my own roms or in anyone else's.
I will be available for discussion to developers who are interested. That is all.

Current To-Do:
Port MyTouch Slide Widgets to replace Hero widgets (nearly done!!!)

Is it as fast as promised? Did you have to setCPU or no? I need data from G1 users.

Call lag?
10 chars

does anyone else notice the rom right above/bellow this rom also claims to be THE FASTEST EVVVVVVVVVVVER?!?!? wtf...which one do i flash ?!?! lol

On my MT3G I've clocked this at 2 (SOMETIMES 3) rings for call lag, way better than 5-6 on other Sense roms. I'm still trying to make it faster. The problem with call lag seems to be related to broken bluetooth. If I either fix bluetooth or remove Bluetooth calls from the phone app I should be able to completely end Sense call lag

Test it out for yourself. I didn't like ZX's hero 2.1, it was laggy for me. Not all at once, but randomly it would take 10-15 seconds to recognize a touch.
Just check them both out and use whichever one works best for you.

[ROM] ELIGOROM 3.0.0p1, now with more jellybean! cam works 8/26/2012

i know guys, im horrible. lol. i said i was done porting. but i had a little time to spare and just couldnt help myself. this runs pretty well, on par with shelnutt2's cm10 nightlies, just has camera added and some other stuff.
now based off of jb, mongoosehelix projected p2 will be out this weekend, so maybe ill find time to get it ported.
changelog:
eligo-3.0.0p1: 8/26/2012
initial upload
camera works about like ics
k guys
if you try this rom, expect some level of bad juju. i guaruntee some things will not work right. but if you ask me to fix it i will try my hardest to do so.
to start, im not gifted enough to know how to develop, im just a lowly borrower, so if i have nothing to borrow, i have nothing to offer
also i take no responsibility for your phone crashing and burning in an epic fashion, and/or if your cat jumps off your keyboard and makes your coffee spill on your lap, or war, or famine, or disease, or anything of the sort. try at your own risk, dont bother me if your phone blows up
dont give me any credit, give the following people mad props and donate to them if you wish to:
mongoosehelix and all the crew over at the eris forums and evervolv for the rom
dsixda and his kitchen
shelnutt2
anyone else that helped that i may have forgot
im sure i forgot people, im sorry if i did and if i forgot you please yell at me and ill make sure to thank you
this is based off of 4.1.1, evervolv eligo 3.0.0p1 for the eris
what works:
touchscreen
sdcard
radio (data and calls)
adb
camera preview and taking pics
bigger keyboard, more like gb
wifi
buttons
audio
root
vibration
bluetooth
usb mass storage
minfrees set in kernel at boot time
mms hopefully
gps seems to lock on
try messing with camera settings in camera app, i turned down the resolution from 5 mp to UXGA and picture taking worked quicker and looked better in my opinion
works with problems:
camcorder (displays preview but i cant get it to record)
bluetooth
audio, comes out of speaker but not 3.5mm audio jack
other stuff im sure
what i didnt test: (lol its your jobs to test it)
pretty much everything else
when you flash this, remember i did not sign it, so if your using clockworkmod recovery toggle signature verification
i turn off all vibration, except for notifications, that includes the keyboard as haptic feedback slows things down.
jb gapps ~17mb: http://www.mediafire.com/?p5cl09j6bqfdo1d
edit: changed gapps, ripped out stuff that slows down the rom, no functionality hit
go into phone app, hit menu, then settings, and check your voicemail number, im on boost so mine is my phone number
this port will not:
most likely be a finished project
win a beauty contest
make your manhood bigger
if you see something wrong, please fix it or ask me to
and now for the link before i forget:
Eligo-3.0.0p1
http://www.mediafire.com/?vzuhrrc1ledxmp4
Eligorom 2.2.0b1-2 ICS (old, not supported anymore)
http://www.mediafire.com/?3aumitqaqzkalf8
happy flashing!

gonna repurpose this post
things to accomplish
keep up with updates from shelnutt2 and mongoosehelix.
if you would like to see something added to this to-do list, please post it

Update .zip would be nice, also noticed that the device is still Eris, not sure if you meant for it to be or not.

Many thanks! Also before I flash back, how might I get mms to work? That is the sole reason I don't use this as a daily rom now.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA

hey shakes im working on a fix for mms now
you might have to be my guinea pig though lol so make sure to nandroid before you do any of the stuff to your phone, i dont use mms so i cant tell you if it works
i do see the problem, and it lies in the fact that this was made to be a verizon rom, but a quick fix/replace of /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db should do the trick
shakes, go ahead and flash the update zip attached to the first post
please let me know if it works or not, if not ill keep trying, but hopefully its just fixed

Alright, also the update file is actually incorrect, I didn't know it was an update until you posted that... you put the oom file on that post.

update.zip added to first post, its a roll up of all the updates ive added since release

shakes did you try installing the rom and the update.zip? did mms work? please let us know of your findings, that would be absolutely awesome if it just worked, another thing i can check off my to-do list

So, findings: I cannot read, didn't realize the oom file was the update. Flashed that and the mms fix, mms works now but won't download in stock app... Also noticed camera won't focus, not sure if that can be fixed or not. And finally, if I remember correctly the task switcher preview isn't normally zoomed in? Just glad it's working finally, but something to look into if you have time.

I can't seem to get this to boot, what recovery and gapps should I be using? Currently on cwm 4.0.1.4, I flash rom, flash gapps, flash update.zip and boot. Sits at evervolv boot animation for a long time and never boots in. Left it sitting for an hour and still no boot...

hey goliath
sorry to hear you cant get this to boot. i use the stock recovery from Rom Manager, its 2.5.0.7 . ive never used the 4 versions. are you on the newest sprint radio? (2.42.02.10.29) older radios have stopped me from being able to boot cm 7 in the past, could be the issue with yours. also toggle "signature verification" in cwmod recovery as i have not signed my rom or updates. first boot does take a few extra minutes, but an hour is too long, something definitely is rotten in denmark. as far as gapps i use this one: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
but i delete the gallery app after install as it just displays black boxes, i use quickpic instead
ill do whatever i can and whatever it takes to get you successfully booting.
shakes,
i have another test for you. im attaching a file called "mmsfix2.zip" to this post that will replace your mms.apk with one from the heroc evervolv rom, and hopefully that should make it so you get the messages in the stock app. as far as holding home for previews, im not sure why they are zoomed but as soon as i figure it out expect an update. if this mms.apk switch works, ill add it to the update.zip attached to the first post.
with camera, unfortunately some things wont work yet. stritfajt posted his camera fix and theres nothing more i can do unless he figures more out, but hes a smart guy and im sure in short time things will be all figured out with it.

Thank you, do you have any screenshots before i try this out?
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA

just noticed my sprint radio is baseband version 242010427, i guess that means i have to flash to a sense rom and update my prl, right?
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA

hey postal psycho
the radio i use is attached to this post, if you need to just flash it through clockworkmod recovery, you can try to load eligorom with the radio you have right now, but if it doesnt boot then im pretty sure its the radio version, no need to flash back to stock and update prl
i suggest if you like the rom your on right now, nandroid backup. just in case.
i dont have any screenshots to upload, but if you check out this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352170
post #2 there are some screenshots from where this rom originated. i use zeam launcher in place of the stock ics launcher. happy flashing and if you need any help just let me know and ill do my best to fix problems for you

The media fire link is not working, it was okay last night but I didn't finish the download

dude, you didn't have to give me any props, though it is very nice for you. I am like you, a guy who tries to help out the Hero community not to die. I'm not a developer thought but I know a few things here and there. The rom at your brother 'hero gsm' is a WIP (work in progress) but right now its almost stalling because we wait for 4.0.5 sources to come out. I've made a 4.0.4 build with all the modifications but after flashing I was amazed to see how slow it is moving. Almost impossible to use! So right now we don't want to jump on the bandwagon of 4.0.4 since it is worse than what we have and we heard some rumors that 4.0.5 should be even more faster than 4.0.3.
I hope you get more testers for this, I see that there are only a couple of people who have flashed it.
Be sure to send me a PM in case you need any infos. Oh, and minfree values don't stick at boot (as you said), we don't have any idea why. The script is good, it has the correct format but after the boot cycle, the rom takes the old minfree values.
one more thing, scripts are working fine in 4.0.4, just be sure to use Notepad++ when edit them. And change the text format to UNIX not DOS/Windows (from Edit - EOL conversions tab - UNIX).

hey nukeboy glad to hear you like it
1ceb0x, hey i gotta give credit where credits due. i studied the scripts you guys have for a few days before porting this rom, and wouldnt have known anything about them if it werent for you guys. your ics rom over there at the gsm side runs like a champ on hero cdma, but im kinda stalled in the port because i cant get sdcard to mount the right way, so thats why i went with eris.
would you happen to know why sdcard prepares, mounts, and then says ok to remove? thats the only thing stalling the port of 4.0.3 herogsm. i have a feeling its a difference in how cdma and gsm mounts the sd card, but cant find the cause.
