INTRO

Based on CM6 Stable
Port of Cronos Froyo & Cronos Ginger Hero ROM
Latest Carz's kernel
Latest Google Apps
Latest Superuser
135 Density (320x480 resolution!)

No bloat, stock look!
5x5 home grid
MarketEnabler included
Fast, fast, FAST!
DOWNLOAD
IMPORTANT: Before downloading the ROM and flashing it blindly, YOU MUST READ AND UNDERSTAND the important information shown here, ELSE DON'T WHINE SAYING IT DIDN'T WORK AND THAT I DIDN'T WARN YOU.
1. This ROM DOES NOT SUPPORT CUSTOM MTD. You can do it, but don't come asking for help if you use it and something doesn't work and you break your device or whatever.
2. You NEED. I repeat, N-E-E-D ClockWorkMod Recovery v4.0.1.4. NO, it WON'T work with Amon_Ra or anything else. It might flash, but it doesn't install everything correctly. You can get such recovery HERE (Fixed).
3. Do a FULL WIPE (/boot, /data, /cache, /system, /sd-ext) before installing this ROM. NO, it's NOT incremental and if you try to install it over a ROM it WILL format these partitions.
4. This ROM has been tested ONLY with RADIO 6.35.16.19 AND 6.35.10.18.
5. Last but not least, I would like to say I am, but I'm not responsible if by flashing this ROM you start WW3, your PC explodes or makes your phone become a Cylon and assimilates you (wtf xD) so... as always with any other ROM out there: Try it at your own risk.
Everything said, here are your links

NOTE FOR 32B USERS: This ROM -works- for 32B ---BUT--- you have to flash an appropiate kernel for it to work, as the included one only works for 32A. And yes, there's no CWM Recovery BUT YOU CAN USE AMON_RA 1.7 (only 32B). Also, camera may or may not work, I've found it's random, so your device may vary. Still, I think it's worth the flashing . Enjoy 32B users! thanks to all those who have helped to test it in their devices ^_^!
PATCHES / UPDATE.ZIPs
These are update.zip files you can download into your SD Card and apply using ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.1.4 to archieve some desired effects in the ROM.
You can apply them anytime unless they say they're made to be applied ONLY after flashing the ROM zip.
Most (if not all) of these patches are ROM-independent. If you're using it in your ROM to help your users, PLEASE GIVE PROPER CREDIT!, or if I find out (and trust me I will) I'll take them offline. Thanks .
LCD Density 160 (Bigger fonts and UI. Default resolution) (19 Nov 2011)
LCD Density 135 (Higher resolution. Smaller fonts / UI. FroyoDragon default) (19 Nov 2011)

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Download the ROM
2. Boot into recovery
3. Mounts & Storage -> Wipe: /data, /cache, /boot, /sd-ext, /system.
5. Install Zip from SD Card
6. Choose Zip from SD Card
7. (choose the ROM file you downloaded)
8. Reboot system now.
POST-INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Wait for the wizard to finish installing the ROM, then the phone will reboot.
2. After choosing whether to grant access or not to MarketEnabler, you can start using your phone. If something goes bogus here, reflash.
PROBLEMS?
Sadly, I highly depend on the details you provide in order to help you. If you have any sort of problems, please follow the following steps:
1. Make sure you have ADB installed, up and running. There are lots of tutorials on how to do this on the web and on XDA. It's an easy process and helps a lot.
2. Turn the phone off.
3. Open a command/terminal window and type "adb logcat" without the quotes.
4. It should say something like "-- waiting for device --".
5. Turn it on as you would normally (this means, no pressing the home or volume buttons).
6. You should see lots of output. Wait 2-5 minutes or so and copy the output to Notepad or somewhere else.
7. Paste it on paste.ubuntu.com, pastebin.ca, pastebin.com, etc. or send it to me through PM as a compressed file (ZIP, RAR, whatever works).
By following those simple steps, we all can benefit from your help, including the assistance you can get from it.

So far, it's stable for daily use .
Yes, the kernel is OC ready (it comes from Carz's latest one ). I haven't tested tethering, but it should. I haven't had any FCs or similar. Sometimes the screen doesn't come back up but it does after a few button presses and in rare occasions, mostly when playing music and I'm on the street so I can't take a logcat in those moments lol but I need to fix that for sure .

The network splash screen takes a while. For how long did you let it boot?
Try to get a logcat:
Turn the phone off
Run "adb logcat"
Turn the phone on
Wait around 5 minutes or so.
If you see something similar to the first few lines you see when it boots it could be bootlooping, but I don't know for sure.
When you get the logcat, paste it somewhere (pastebin.com, pastebin.ca, paste.ubuntu.com, etc) and post it here so I can take a look at it, or zip it and send it to me through PM, and I'll try to solve it
thank you for this rom, gonna try it out later
previously using eclair with sense
hope wifi, bluetooth, thether, will work properly
thanks again!

Thanks for your reply I am unable to get a logcat because when its connected to the computer and i reboot it displays the splash screen and FASTBOOT USB in red I even changed to the recovery that's in your signature same result could it be the radio I could try an older radio i will try a few things and let you know
Okay guys, I think I know what's wrong...
I think I forgot to mention to flash Carz's kernel after flashing this ROM. I'll try to make an updated 0.2 with the kernel included - or - you can try to download Carz's kernel and flash it and try to boot again.
This will fix the Wifi/GPS/boot issues -------------------------^

To the rest of you, thanks for the support! ^_^
question
hey darkguy2008,
I flashed carz kernel and still no boot. Does this rom use custom partition?

Nope, it doesn't. Right when it's on the carrier logo screen, can you run "adb logcat" and see what does it say? it should stop saying "-- waiting for device --" and start throwing up a lot of data, doesn't it?
AFAIK, ROM stuff doesn't touch (or affect) fastboot at all. Worst thing I've gotten is the phone going back into recovery after an unsuccessful boot :/
I'm gonna upload v0.2 now, try with it when it's done
Hello
Version 0.2 doesn't boot.
Stays at HTC Magic
Any solution?

I did follow the steps exactly the ADB logcat stays at "waiting for device" 20 minutes maybe is not compatible with my device the first one of many that I have tried I guess there is always a first time.
My device is a magic is yours a magic too? I was looking forward to your 6.35 radio rom as I like froyo they seem to run real smooth on my old radio 3.22 setup.
Thanks

My device is a magic is yours a magic too? I was looking forward to your 6.35 radio rom as I like froyo they seem to run real smooth on my old radio 3.22 setup.
Thanks

Yes, mine is a Magic 32A, just like my signature, except I have a different recovery now. Maybe that's the issue?
Try carz's recovery:

Yeah, first time too, because I have tried lots of roms and never gotten such issues ... USB and ADB are a little picky, try replugging them, try to get back to a previous ROM and see if you can get ADB in it. If you can then something's up with the ROM, if you can't, then something's up with your PC setup (mostly ADB+USB issues :/ ).
If you get your SPL and Radio the same as I have in my signature, you shouldn't run into problems

I used the same recovery but cant get anywhere with the rom. ADB and logcat is fine starts few seconds after the splash screen appears in all ROM's even froyo by lazslo a G1 rom with ezterry's auto kernel. I will try some froyo kernels and see if I can get it to boot. Will keep you updated.
Thanks for for your effort

broodROM RC4 FAQ
Q: I kinda like Apple, and I don't want an android pissing on an apple as bootlogo
A: Well.. this is only a custom boot logo, you can easily change it by reflashing the SkyHigh v1.4 Kernel
Q: I want to install a system accelerator like Thunderbolt or Adrenaline shot
A: Don't do that! The SkyHigh v1.4 kernel already includes an integrated Thunderbolt, adding more tweaks would simply bootloop your phone
Q: I saw the screenstate_scaling script in /system/etc/init.d, what's up with that?
A: screenstate_scaling is an addition to Thunderbolt, in this script the default awake & sleep governors are set, this script can function as an alternative to CPU Master. You will notice that CPU Master will give you a warning each time you boot your phone since the screenstate_scaling script will interfere with it.
Q: I noticed that you have set the sleep governor to ondemand, why is that?
A: I did that because I've experienced some alarm clock fails on 100Mhz, Of course you can try it out yourself, it might work just fine
Q: I want a better battery life for your rom! How can I achieve that?
A: You can perform the following steps to gain a better battery life: first thing is to lower the CPU Frequency, the default is 1.8GHz, but you can set it to 1.4Ghz (or so) with Antutu CPU Master. The second thing is that you can set the sleep governor to "powersafe" (can be found in screenstate_scaling script) this sets the phone in an even lower state and safes you battery (see the question above for the possible risks)
Q: I want to change my kernel, how do i do that?
A: I recommend you to not change your kernel since Skyhigh gives the best performance for broodROM RC4. Although you can download an alternative kernel and place it on your /sdcard, then reboot in recovery using the extended power menu and choose install zip from sdcard > install zip from internal sdcard > choose the zip file > install > reboot.
Q: My browser FC's all the time, how do I fix this?
A: Some people experience browser FC's, you can easily solve this by installing the broodROM_RC4_InetFixes.zip in recovery mode, don't forget to mount /system to be sure it installs correctly.
Q: My WiFi has constant drops, how do I solve this problem?
A: The first thing that you need to investigate is your "DHCP Lease Time" you can find this option in your router, if it's set to a low number please change it (mine is 604800). If this doesn't solve the problem you can try installing the KQ1 Modem using Odin (select AriesVE.ops from broodrom rc4 and choose the .md5 file as "Phone" package) and install the KQ1 Wifi Binaries using Recovery mode (also don't forget to mount /system) If you still encounter WiFi problems you will have to wait until the ICS Value pack release so i can permantely fix it.
Q: I saw the "Module Loader" app. what is this? and what can it do for me?
A: The module loader app is an app that allows you to run additional modules for your i9001. You can load several modules, I added the tun.ko module which is OpenVPN, the cifs.ko module which is Samba Shares Support (smb://) and the PPP Modules. If you are sure you will never use any of those you can delete the app by deleting "moduleloader.apk" file in /system/app
Q: I noticed that there are some bugs regarding the ICS Theme, some apps have gingerbread looks
A: You can solve this problem by downloading the newest ICS Theme and extract "framework-res.apk" and "twframework-res.apk" from the archive, then copy them from your sdcard to /system/framework and overwrite the current files, set the permissions to RW-R-R and reboot.
Q: I want to change the bootanimation, how can I do that?
A: I've chosen to keep the sanim.zip layout instead of bootanimation.zip which is default for SkyHigh v1.4. So you can place your bootanimation (named sanim.zip) in /system/media, set permissions to RW-R-R and reboot
Q: Is your Configurator BETA 4 compatible with broodROM RC4?
A: Yes and no, you cannot flash themes or mods, but you can use things such as changing boot animation, changing dns, updating hosts and so on (all things that include theme files are not compatible with broodROM RC4)
Q: I cannot buy apps from the store. how can i solve this?
A: Wipe the play store cache by going to settings > Applications > Manage apps > All > Play store > clear cache (thanks to nail16)
If this doesn't work, download an older version of the market here and delete /system/app/Google_Play_3.5.1.5.apk then place the market apk in /system/app and reboot (set permissions to RW-R-R) The market will now automatically update to the latest version.
Q: I cannot change the background of my lockscreen, why is that? I want to change it!
A: The lockscreen from KQ7 is a beta and does not support custom wallpapers yet. Although you can change the lockscreen by looking in the framework-res.apk file with Winrar, look for "framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi" then you will find the "zzzzzzzz_default_lockscreenw.jpg" file at the bottom, You can replace that file by dragging your custom 480x800 lockscreen in there. set the compression level to "store" and put the framework-res.apk file on your /sdcard, copy it to /system/framework and overwrite the file. Don't forget to set the permissions to RW-R-R
(this also seems to work on the default way of changing the lockscreen background )
Q: I get random reboots, help?
A: Because all i9001 devices are not actually exactly the same, some devices could cause errors when using a support OC/UV kernels, you can flash the SkyHigh v1.3 kernel or Feacore 1.4 NonOC to prevent this problem.
Q: I have sdcard fails, how can I solve this?
A: the developer of the SkyHigh kernel is currently working on a fix, you can read about it here
Q: Where can I get additional information about the kernel?
A: You can find it in the SkyHigh Kernel Thread
