There is no compcache, A2SD relative support for this rom.

I use linux swap by entering command "swapon /path_to_my/swap_partition" in GScript or download swapper from android market

My Apps 2 sdcard patch: (no ext2/ext3 partition required, it using your sdcard's vfat partition.)
It work for the apps you install from android market or by "adb install".
The "app2sdcard" patch will create a "app" folder in your sdcard. Then copy apps from /data/app to /sdcard/app and make a symbol link to there.
The "app2phone" patch will copy apps in the sdcard "app" folder back to your phone and delete from your sdcard.
Or you may want to do it yourself in recovery mode with following commands :
Code:
mount /sdcard
mount -o rw /data
mkdir /sdcard/app
cp -a /data/app/* /sdcard/app/
rm -rf /data/app
ln -s /sdcard/app /data/app

Is this build bugged by the wallpaper bug and cannot change lockscreen?
and also is this optimized?

Before I install, is bluetooth working as well as before?

I was able to listen to music via bluetooth, is that still working?
I think it just same as before. Please try it and let me know.

With my nokia BH-104 bluetooth headset, i can pair up and adjust volume by headset. It is same as before for me.

I never tried before an hero ROM due to many reports of issues. Since the I read the comments on the v0.0.8 I dig in on that. And is probably one of the only ROM's who has the HTC Sync running!

I'm at work and I'm downloading it as well.. I'll be waiting a bit longer as due to all the things slowing down the network here that I can do nothing about it ;)
I CAN"T WAIT FOR TRYING IT!!! :D

Yet no "H" for HSDPA connectivity in the task bar.

So far the speed is still superb, wallpapers are selectable by default as Red already described.
Will be testing BT tomorrow otw to work, x-ing fingers that it works as well as in v0.1.0.

Java works.
Market enabler is on by default.
Footprints on by default.
