[ROM][32B/Dream][Dec23][Dwang][Donut][Speed and Stability][v1.17.1]

[dwang]

This ROM is completely 1.6 stock (framework, apps, etc) with the exception of the following enhancements:

1. Compcache enabled by default (no backing swap, just straight compcache)
2. Memory hack which gives you 107.5 megs of linux system memory
3. ROM works with both mt3g (32b) and g1 (dream).
4. Root enabled
5. Market should be fully working
6. Busybox
7. Loccy's enhanced Browser v1.5 with MT
8. Netfilter and iptables modules added to the kernel. Wifi tethering works with both "aNetShare" and "android-wifi-tether" apps.
9. Launcher with 5 screens
10. Apps2SD for G1/Dream users ext2/ext3 fs only [may need to format /system/sd (/dev/block/mmcblk0p2) partition if getting black screen]
11. Work Email App (Exchange Support)
12. All built-in apps optimized with zipalign and optipng
13. Wired usb tethering support. Download this app to enable http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/
14. Deadline IO Scheduler

Caveats:

* Because of the RAM Hack, 3d games will run slow!
* Does not support ext4 partition

If I get a C&D letter, I'm taking it down right away, so download it quickly.

Enjoy, I learned a lot during the process of making this ROM.

This a quick and dirty ROM that I made using the stock android 1.6 kernel. I'm not using cyanogen's 4.1.11.1 kernel. I built this from scratch, so no BFS.

This ROM is completely 1.6 stock (framework, apps, etc) with the exception of the following enhancements:

1. Compcache enabled by default (no backing swap, just straight compcache)
2. Memory hack which gives you 107.5 megs of linux system memory
3. ROM works with both mt3g (32b) and g1 (dream).
4. Root enabled
5. Market should be fully working
6. Busybox
7. Loccy's enhanced Browser v1.4.3 (no MT, don't really need it with Loccy's browser}
8. Netfilter and iptables modules added to the kernel. Wifi tethering works with both "aNetShare" and "android-wifi-tether" apps.
9. Launcher with 5 screens

This ROM was developed specifically for the mt3g, but it does work on the dream (cc and memhack both work). However, there are some issues on the g1:

1. No a2sd. I don't need it on the mt3g so I haven't spent the time to add it. I may or may not add a2sd to this ROM, depends on my free time. If anybody wants to take up that work, feel free.

2. BT does not work on the g1. Not sure why. Could be a missing file. If somebody could clue me in, I will fix it in the next release. This is only on g1, BT works perfect on the mt3g.


v1.0

* Initial release (fastboot only)

v1.1

* Can now be flashed using recovery image. No need for fastboot.
* 5 screen launcher.

No screenshots. It looks just like stock. All changes are under the hood.

Do we honestly need another donut rom? seriously...

Show me a rom that has the features of mine. I created this rom because none of the Existing roms fit my needs.

If you don't like it stay out of the thread.

 

[jrherras]

I've been using this rom since V.1 all I can say is it's fast & stable

[random_username_]

[snakebitezz]

ok a newb Q

in order to enable a2sd i would just use the same script as usual?? or would it have to be rewritten?? just amking sure cuz im lookin for a stock rom for a while to chill on thank in adv

 

[Apollo-2]

Just the right features

Show me a rom that has the features of mine. I created this rom because none of the Existing roms fit my needs.

If you don't like it stay out of the thread.

Thanks Dwang, the 5-column launcher, BetterBrowser, and root access are just enough upgrade. The Official 1.6 also has known radio (Wi-Fi and BT) issues. This does not, however. +1

 

[dwang]

Well it seems your lastest rom don't have the a2sd script at all.
I've read it should work but there is no script in /system/bin/ should I Make the script by hand ?

ps: I use an adp1

PC Sync from Hero

Hi,

Would you be able to add the HTC Sync from Hero (for PC contacts and Calendar)

Great ROM .. exactly what I was looking for (except the HTC Sync stuff )

Thanks in advance.

Not possible, sorry..

I tried flashing this over CM4.1.11.1 and stalled at a black screen, after the Android logo. Unfortunately I can't paste the lolcat (there was some kind of repetitive error) because I somehow erased it
I will try again later (tomorrow?) but meanwhile does anybody have any idea? Is it mandatory to wipe? (I'm such a lazy person, I hate to backup/wipe/reinstall/restore everything).
dwang, I love your posts and I'm pretty sure your ROM is worth trying so I'll keep trying.

For a2sd you may have to wipe and delete everything from /system/sd/. This ROM doesn't seem to be compatible with CM 4.1.xx. You should only have to do it once. Subsequent updates should not require a wipe.

I ran into this while testing a2sd.

Or try running fix_permissions and see if that fixes the black screen.

Tried fix_permissions and didn't work. This time I was able to capture a logcat (attached).
Will try formating everything from sd but that requires a bit of preparation so I can reinstall everything

You may be able to leave the apps dir. on the ext partiton and get it working by just deleting dalvik-cache directory.

Nope. Same result
