[ROM] JACxHEROSkiv2.2-JAC/CC (JAC/Ski HTC Kernel BFS-240)-DREAM/MYTOUCH - 9/30/09

[notxel21]

This rom runs good for Hero on a G1 with no loadscreens providing you follow the directions below! Very stable!
No BT don't ask! Enjoy!!

WWARNING:You must Have The Correct Radio and Latest SPL! You can find them here (RADIO MUST BE INSTALLED FIRST) You can find it here

PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE FLASHING ANY ROM INCLUDING MINE IT WILL SAVE YOU AND OTHERS TIME AND HEADACHE!!!
First a Big thanks to Cyanogen,db.hates.you Drizzy Drake Rogers CCyrowski and Manup456 and pretty much everyone at XDA for keeping it going.
This ROM is based off the latest "HTC" ROM leak 176.405.6, with TONS of modifications done to it by Drizzy and I. Hope you enjoy!

DO NOT RUN ANY OTHER APPS2SD APPLICATIONS ON THIS BUILD. YOU WILL BREAK YOUR SYSTEM. THEY ARE NOT NECESSARY BECAUSE THIS ROM WILL DO A2SD AUTOMATICALLY AND BETTER!

NOTES:Swap is linux-swap by default. Edit the user.conf in /system/bin to change swappiness etc. Compcache modules built with the latest source are included if you want compcache or compcache with backing etc. Run sh /system/bin/swap -s to check swap status and other mod values.

Please use Cyanogen's recovery image it is awesome!

First step for 2.63 is to setup our SDcard...back your stuff up and lets go!

Formatting you SDcard

You only need to do this once folks..if you already have 3 partitions including linux-swap move to step 2

You need Recovery image 1.31 to do this folks!

To format card SD card with linux-swap WARNING!!! this will reformat you entire SD card!!

You can use the recovery console and parted to format SDcards with 1.31 folks, no more going through hassles you have the tools on you G1!...here is an example of how to do this in recovery console using parted. DO NOT USE MORE THAN 32MB SWAP!!!

Flashing the ROM

The second part is getting the ROM on our phone

Copy the ROM to you sdcard as update.zip, enter the recovery console via home+power and lets flash, Check ext filesystems first, if it tells you to go to console to manually check do it! After I've repaired the EXT partition or if it didn't need repair I will now wipe and then apply the update and reboot...Done!
This is how I installed without any problems:
: rename to update.zip
: place in the root of sd card
: shut off device
: boot into recovery
: wipe
: go to console and hit enter
(enter)
# mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
# cd /system/sd
# rm -rf /system/sd/*
# reboot recovery
: now wipe again
: repair ext system
: flash
Enjoy!!

It's nice!! Trust me on this!
The only thing I've done differently is have a bigger than recommended Linux swap partition.
My partition is 73MB vice 32MB but it works great for me!!!

[kaysesoze]

flashing the 2.7 right now... hopefully i can stop getting the lag...
almost bout to give up on hero for a while and go back to cyan3.65.....
but will see...
the previous drizzy hero roms have been faster than all the rest, but the random lag gets frustrating..
bbl with more info

[extreme99]

I wonder why nobody has tried to extract the touchflo interface and integrate it within the cupcake firmwares i wonder if its even possible haha.

Im just thinking out loud, Very nice looking ROM!

[kaysesoze]

okay the update is fast as lightning... wow.. shocked.. gonna keep testing it
