[DEV] 23/10 1.2 - MCK - Playing with custom kernels (for the brave!) - Hero, G2 Touch Android Development

As you may know, HTC have just released the kernel source code, and i've been having a play.
Nothing massively exciting yet, but if you want your kernel to feature...
- Additional filesystems (EXT4, NFS, CramFS, SquashFS 4.0)
- Freshly compiled tun.ko module
- CompCache 0.5.4 support
- Required iptables functionality for DroidWall
...then you can install this package over the top of the latest MCR.
This is pretty much untested at the moment, so Nandroid backup first (of course), and i'm taking requests for future improvements. This is seperate from the main MCR thread for now simply because of it's untested nature!
I'd like to add...
- Port to 2.6.29 kernel
...but as I say this is just an early first-stab at a custom kernel. I thought i'd put it out there as I know many people like to run EXT4 on their A2SD partitions.

Enjoy!

I'd love to help test this however I'm new to Android so when you say MCR I assume you mean the latest Modaco Rom? So I should install MCR then install this? Sorry and thanks, looking forward to giving it a go
will this have CDMA support by any chance for the CDMA hero?

The MCK kernel was added to the custom ROM in version 2.8, so if you want it all you have to do is install the MOdaco ROM 2.8

Well may be it is possible to make clean Android OS available for HTC Hero since kernel sources are released? With no Sense UI etc.

I dont understand all the people not wanting sense UI
if you dont want it, go into settings--------manage applications-----find touch flo and clear defaults....
The next time you press the home button, just press launcher and make it your default home screen.
There you have it...
Sorry Paul for going slightly off topic

Some people do not want it because they find it heavy.
By using the clear defaults method you only visually disabling it, but in the background the sense ui processes are still running.

Ever heard about Paul's Rosie remover? I think what people want is to get features of e.g. Cyanogens work in a ROM, and the ability to modify. In fact if you remove Rosie, add some vanilla android apps and change the Hero drawables in the framwork.apk you'll get a "vanilla" looking and working kind of ROM.

Hi All
Does HTC put Friendstream inside HTC Hero 2.1 rom?
French langage is present inside multi-language? For example in home menu, "Téléphone" instead of "Phone"
Many Thanks
Gibou
ok.... so which one do I use? yours Paul, or roufianos (which certainly sounds interesting), or 42's eclair-update-signed?
and this is likely a really naive question LoL, but I'm guessing these won't overclock?
And if they won't overclock, will it be possible for you amazing people to supply a kernel that CAN overclock any time soon using the actual hero 2.1 official kernel source? or is that going to be unavailable source code for the forseeable future (based on past experience with google/htc)?
One of my current issues with VR6.2.1 is that the camera only works at iso100, making it almost useless for taking pics of kids/dogs/anyone who isn't posing still. I'm hoping that this official rom fixes that. But I'm thinking that maybe using an alternative kernel that can overclock which isn't actually based on the official hero kernel source code but is in fact taken from the Eris (like VR6) might break the camera iso functionality again.
So much boring long crap I'm writing eh? LoL
oh, and most importantly, thanks for being super amazing!
cheers,
Dkelley
No voice search or voice input. Is it possible to add or get this?
Otherwise it's a very good rom, very fast!

you should be able to use any 2.6.29 kernel (from other 2.1 roms) or build your own using the leaked kernel sources http://github.com/behnaam/HeRo-2.6.29-GoDmOdE .
Works great for me Hero GSM China Mobile.

Hi ! Thank you for this release ! Flashing right now. I'll use it until the WWE or European version come out.
I still find that the new "shiny" look of the Sense UI is not as good as the previous one
Is there any body using oc kernel? If yes which kernel you using with this rom?

30/Jun r1 (JFB) - MoDaCo Custom ROM for Samsung Galaxy S with Online Kitchen

I'm pleased to present my MoDaCo Custom ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S! READ THIS WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU START! No, really, it contains everything you need to know. wink.gif
This ROM is the 'starting point' for my Galaxy S custom ROMs.
About MoDaCo Custom ROMs
MoDaCo Custom ROMs are based on official ROMs - either shipping or leaked. A MCR release is designed to feel as far as possible like a stock ROM, with optimisations, tweaks and complimentary additions that enhance the user experience. The aim of a MCR is to be ultra reliable for use on an everyday device.
Requirements
In order to use this ROM on your device, YOU MUST ALREADY BE RUNNING THE JFB ROM FROM HERE. Do NOT use this ROM with any other base, unpredictable things will happen, the most likely being you'll have to reflash your device via Odin.
Features Included
* Based on the JFB release
* Rooted with Superuser 2.1 by ChainsDD
* Built with the MCR build process which reduces the size and boosts the speed of the ROM
* busybox with Droid Explorer support
* Updated Google Maps
* MCR version displayed in 'About' screen
* Optional Google Voice Search
* Optional Google Voice Dialer
* Optional Fancy Widget
* Optional Beebplayer
* Optional baked in Wavesecure via the online kitchen (installed to system partition for maximum security)
Changelog
Please see 2 posts below this one for the changes in each release.
Installation
To install this ROM:
* Ensure you have the JFB ROM installed (linked above)
* Download the zip file of your choice from the links below (or the online kitchen) and copy to your SD card named 'update.zip'
* Restart your device in recovery mode by running 'adb reboot recovery' (download adb if you do not have it already, use adb-windows, adb-mac or adb-linux as appropriate)
* Select the option to apply an update zip, and select the zip file you copied to your memory card
Upgrading
No wipe is explicitly required in order to use this ROM, however if you do encounter issues of any kind, it is recommended that you wipe your device and reproduce the issue before raising it here.
Downloads
This ROM is currently only available in the online kitchen - prebakes to follow.
Thanks
It's impossible to mention everyone who contributes to the Android community by name, but to everyone out there who does great work and shares it with us all - you have my gratitude and respect.
And finally...
If you would like to show your appreciation for the ROM, please consider supporting MoDaCo by signing up for a MoDaCo Ad Free or MoDaCo Plus account, both of which also give you early access to Beta ROM releases and access to the the online kitchens.
Enjoy!

Does this ROM fix the ram issue so that all 512MB of ram is utilized?
Congrats on being the first custom rom here.
Congratulations! I don't have a phone yet but I am very pleased to see a custom rom already!
woohoo custom ROMs already. Guess I'll be getting myself the phone after all.
umm.. but in another thread people where saying that it wasn't gonna be possible because samsung encrypt their drivers etc. so this mean they did release they drivers? and there is gonna be alot of custom rooms for galaxy gravity?

No I said it would be near impossible to get roms from other sources like Sense roms or Froyo on because of the driver issue. I never said you would never see custom roms. The only roms you are going to see are one's based off of Samsungs release.
Hold on, hold on. So even though Samsung released the Galaxy S' driver source code to the public, it's going to be "near impossible" to port Sense and FroYo to the phone? I may be ignorant but I'll just ask with ignorance, how do you figure?

Download the source code..... ok now open it and go to GalaxyS_Kernel.tar.gz. Now in there just enter the first folder then go to modules. Go to Dpram. Open up any of those files in notepad. You should see written non-compiled code right? That is fine now go back to the module folders and go to S3cbc. Now open up s3cbc_module.o. Does that look like non-compiled code? No it doesn't. It's either already compiled or encrypted. That's what I mean

Quick question, does that mean any custom rom that is release will be based off the official rom they release which has Touchwiz backed in? If so, does that rule out a plain vanilla android rom for this device? Thanks for your help and appreciate the knowledge.

No it doesn't rule out plain vanilla android rom. Yes they will all be based on Samsung but rom makers can take out all the touchwiz garbage and throw in another launcher like adw or Launcherpro.
That's what I wanted to hear. Thanks for the help. Now if I only could decide if I should keep the Nexus One or purchase this phone..... Decisions, Decisions.

So they can easily be decompiled? If it's source code why is it already compiled?
dont go too deep into specific things that we may not even need (we are not coders here) but the source code for basic hardware that we need to get things going are already there.. things like camera, wlan, etc. btw, do u know what s3cbc is for?

What about s3clcd? Here is a little copy and paste of some of the garble that was in the compiled file
screen width=%d height=%d va=0x%x pa=0x%x
I would go out on a limb and say those are video drivers. The one's that have been encrypted on all other samsung phones.
Also in s3cbc there is some code at the bottom
PVRSRV_PIXEL_FORMAT_YUY2 PVRSRV_ERROR_FIFO_SPACE char ui32ByteStride psDevInfo PVRSRV_PIXEL_FORMAT_PAL1 PVRSRV_PIXEL_FORMAT_PAL2 pfnOpenBCDevic
If you don't know the Galaxy's gpu is PowerVR SGX540 and YUY2 is a colol format for video screens
http://www.fourcc.org/yuv.php#YUY2 and Pal is of course a European video standard.
they are not encrypted, they are object codes in machine language for arm.. and why we need that again for custom roms?
Wanted to test modaco ROM but they are not free.. Any kind souls upload and share ?
well feedback on the R1 rom its clean and smooth, worked even better when i did the stall tweak posted here

How much free ram have you got? Considering flashing and rooting, but not sure if it's worth it right now. Meh 10£ isn't that much think I'm gonna give it a try.
EDIT: Just flashed, but now I don't have root access(says access denied when I try to access the /data/data folder). Thought this included the rooted PDA file or do I have to flash that again with odin?
EDIT2: Scratch that I forgot to press the allow-button on my phone after sending the Super-user request..

[ROM] Nebulae v1.1 (WWE Éclair 2.1) :: 04/10/2010

NEBULAE ROOTED ROM BASED ON
OFFICIAL HTC WWE ÉCLAIR 2.1 (RUU)
***ONLY FOR GSM HERO***​
Description:
This ROM is just another ROM like most others out there... Yes, I'm late in the game and it does not have much more than most ROMs but that was not the intention either. It's also not this ROM's intention to compete with any other ROMs. This is just something I did for myself (that's why you can find some unusual features) which I decided to share cause some people might like my simple and basic changes.
My work is based in two other ROMs, MoDaCo from Paul O'Brien and VillainROM from TeamVillain. I respect their work and thank them for their hard work. Some things were literally copied from their ROMs to mine, but I give credit where credit is due; if you find something that you think it was copied, that's because it probably was, but I'm not doing this to take credit for their work.
Features:
Based on Official HTC WWE Éclair 2.1 Update (RUU)
Rooted with Superuser 2.3.6.1 by ChainsDD
Missing locales from the official HTC update
en_PT, en_FI, fr_BE, fr_CH, pt_PT, nb_FI, da_FI, sv_FI
Fully deodexed for theming, hacking and extra space
Added Click'n'Drag to rearrange screens in Rosie/Sense
Long and comprehensive list of updated APNs
Added Dropbear support (SSH Server)
Added support for dalvik2cache script
Tweaked low memory management
Disabled boot animation sound
Included Linux tools:
BusyBox v1.15.3
SQLite v3.5.9
Bash v4.1
Nano v2.0.9
Included applications:
3D Gallery v1.1.30682 (Froyo port)
Removed applications:
HTC Footprints
HTC Stocks
Teeter
How to install:
Wipe everything:
Data
Dalvik-cache
Battery Stats
Rotate Settings
Flash ROM via recovery mode.
Flash Radio via recovery mode (the phone will reboot twice, do not interrupt the process at any moment).
Reboot the system once after the initial boot.
I suggest to always reinstall the radio after flashing any ROM, I've had GPS problems in the past for not doing so. Either flash the one below or the one that suits you/your network better.

It's somewhat impossible to thank every single person that contributes to the Android ROM development community. Kudos to everyone that does an amazing work and decides to share it with us.

Credits to TeamVillain for the huge APNs list, Bash, low memory management tweak and dalvik2cache script.
That's all I can remember at the moment, sorry if I forgot something or someone important.

Patch for Nebulae ROM v0.1
NEBULAE ROM PATCH​
***ONLY FOR GENERIC/DEODEX ROMS***
Description:
There were a couple of things I wanted to include in my ROM above but couldn't because of software limitations (more specifically, signatures). This patch allows that and you also have the choice to flash it or not.
This patch can probably be used on another ROMs (for the HTC Hero of course) if you like but I will not provide any support there. Just make sure the ROM is deodex or it will probably lead to unexpected results.
Features:
Removed shortcuts from Launcher:
Call History
Learn More
Phone
Search People
Settings
Setup Wizard
Removed vibration from the Calculator and Dialer apps
Fixed graphical glitches and unreadable colors in a tabbed interface
Example of original interface: image
Example of fixed interface: image
How to install:
Just flash the patch zip file like any other ROM.

Done... Although I don't expect to update this ROM much as I took my time to cook exactly as I wanted and testing it thoroughly. But mistakes happen all the time and you never know what more stupid bugs HTC left for us to fix.
Thank you all.
Great post and nice patch,cleans almost everything we really dont need or have in other places.
Too bad for me it doesnt have footprints as i use it a lot,but you cant satisfy everyone and as you said it was build for your needs.
Welcome aboard,hope to see more work from you.
You can easily push it back (along with the widget) to the phone if you want. Of course, only if you really find this ROM more useful than the one you're currently using, otherwise don't bother
Nazgulled,
Could you please upload the freshly new Google Maps 4.4 only? I'd like to update mine to 4.4 but it seems certain apps are missing from Market for me right now, including Shazam, LauncherPro and etc.
Please?
Nevermind, the direct download is here: http://db.tt/0Mtbc3

I'm not sure, I'm using 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11 as that one came from the official update and haven't tested any others. The only way to tell is to keep using both for a long period of time and take some conclusions...
Found this now:

PH and PU are the same. Some Heros report the radio with an H and others with an U.

So, there's "2 new radios" right now and I have them both posted on the front page. The "PH" you're using is basically the one I posted for "orange users", which ends in 14.
Seriously, I don't know which one is better, i'm just using the first one and haven't really tested the other... If you do test both and find out the .14 is better than the .11, let me know
I have seen this .11 radio in Denmark. (use .14 myself, no probs)
On an officiel HTC update.

Think I found it on Villain's place as a new rom.
Think its working well, just don't know about battery because I'm always using the phone and charging it a lot.

It will probably be almost the same I'd think... But I could be wrong.

Hope it works! (Desire Z - in Canada)
Works great! Finally stock crap is gone!
Does anyone know if this version has the HTC locations installed? I noticed on Paul's site it said something like it he forgot to ad this..? Was that only for the kitchen..? Or is it included in the pre-baked version..? BTW... as always, THANKS PAUL!

Really? I installed it and the location is not in there? This is from a pre-baked version. Do I need to use the kitchen? I don't see it in the kitchen either... Am I missing something..?
Update: saw it in the kitchen... Gonna bake one with it and give it a try. UPDATE: Locations working like a charm on NAM Bell Desire Z.
does HTC Locations only come in the kitchen or the default rom as well? I don't have ad-free membership, but i'd love to be able to use locations app.
Yup, its only included in the online kitchen.

It's not in the pre-baked one. You need to bake a NEW one in the kitchen. I beleive Paul will fix this soon for the pre-baked one. Not a big deal to bake. Locations works GREAT on the NAM Bell Desire Z. I downloaded maps, voices, etc from within the app. The widget is also pretty cool. Sooooo happy to now have all the bell junk out too!
Is it possible to upload your locations.apk from /system/app/ ?

Since this is the European ROM, it is lacking all the locale from NA, like English (Canada). Is there a way to add them?
Install MoreLocales from the Market. I'll fix that in the next release.

Same phone but different partitioning, I believe ? I'm sure someone who knows a lot more than me will be able to comment better though.
Stock G2 does fit on Z, but the other way round doesn't.
What he said - different partitioning!

I'm sorry, but I am just surprised no one has mentioned or requested screenshots.
Can we get at least one? I mean some of us may not know what a Non-Sense UI looks like.
Also, will this ROM help extend battery life? I am assuming it will with less eye-candy correct?
Thank you.
