THIS IS OBSOLTE! VISIT THE NEW THREAD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=704974
PS: MODS, PLEASE CLOSE THIS. THANKS.
Hi guys! After hours and hours of work and hundreds of compiled kernels, VanillaEclair 3.3 is finally ready. Please read this post carefully, and enjoy!
First, I would like to thank Cyanogen for his 5.0.7, behnaam for the 2.6.29 kernel sources and all the users who have been testing all the Release Candidates. This wouldn't have been possible without you.
What has been done to the kernel:
- tweaked scheduler;
- tweaked internal task killer;
- pre-overclock @691/176(default kernel), using the ONDEMAND CPU governor
- improved RAM management and usage
- improved overall CPU speed - you can't take anything more out of it
... all of these result to:
- amazing battery life
- great overall performance
Features:
- all hardware working
- GPS, AGPS
- GPRS/EDGE/3G/HSDPA aka full 2G/3G support
- photos, videos
- phone calls
- messaging
- auto-brightness
- LEDs (except trackball led)
- trackball
- facebook sync, google sync, twitter sync etc.
- Youtube HD
- accelerometer
- rooted
- A2SD using Cyanogen's method -> all your apps & Dalvik-Cache go to SDCard if you enable the option in settings
- Bluetooth file transfer, bluetooth music(no A2DP yet)
- busybox
- compcache using heyodee's script
... and much more!
What doesn't work:
- A2DP aka Bluetooth audio in calls
- trackball led
FAQ/Readme:
How can I enable Apps2SD?
To enable Apps2SD you have to go to Settings > Applications and check Apps2SD option. You also need an EXT2/3 partition on your SDCard.
I flashed this ROM and now when I want to do a Nandroid backup I get an error. What should I do?
This happens because of the new A2SD method. Please do a BART backup, but be careful: you can only have a BART backup on your SDCard at a time.
I flashed this ROM and I got stuck with the HERO screen for a while.
Please flash the LoKernel or the Freekernel. It should fix your issue.
When the phone wakes up sometimes I get some bad graphics and the lockscreen is upside down.
This thing is rare, but, if you get it, either flash the Lokernel or Freekernel, either live with it
What's next?
Well, unfortunately I won't be able to work on this ROM until the 5th of July. I hope that when I get back from my vacation I can fix A2DP and trackball LED and make this even better.
I don't like vanilla. What should I do?
How can you not like vanilla?! But if you're one of the guys, I suggest you try my other ROM - ChocolateEclair - which is a Sense ROM and users say it's pretty good
DOWNLOADS:
VanillaEclair 3.3 NAS @ 691/176
This is the vanilla ROM with the default [email protected]/176. If something is wrong or you want to see what other kernels can do, you may flash one of these on top of it:
VanillaEclair 3.3 lokernel @576/245
This kernel is recommended for those who have issues with waking up or cannot boot with the default kernel.
VanillaEclair 3.3 freekernel @518/245
The Freekernel is coming at the default HTC speeds, but you have 17 frequencies available in the table to overclock it as you wish with OverclockingWidget or SetCPU. This is slower than the default kernel because of the unoptimized speed jumps.
VanillaEclair 3.3 extremekernel @768/176
This is for the lucky ones which have a Hero that can work properly @768. But it's not only the 48% overclock. You also have a much improved scheduler and an aggressive internal task killer, that will start killing apps when you have 35MB RAM memory free.
VanillaEclair 3.3 ExperimentalKernel @691/176
Flash this at your own risk!
This is the experimental kernel, which has one nice feature: NTFS support. You can replace that FAT parition on your SDCard with a NTFS one, in case you want to. It also has a very aggressive internal task killer(starts killing @35MB RAM free), some aggressive CPU settings and some experimental settings @scheduler. This might be the future though!
VanillaEclair 3.3 Default kernel
Flash this if you tried one of the other kernels and you want to move back to the default one.
Do you like it? Buy me a Coke if you can.

Thx for your hard work Radug, i'm not found of vanilla style, but tried your sense one and you're doing great !!!
Hope you'll work on WWE when it's out
what about jit? use the one from RC4?
Great RaduG !! downloading !!!!
Awesome! Will install later today for sure!
Wired tether fixed in this kernel?
@kosmiq
It should work mate, I completely forgot to test it. Anyway, all the kernels are USB Tethering enabled.
hello RaduG
i must say that you have a supergood ROM.
Been with it since RC3 and i love the vanillaflavour!!
Thankyou very much. stuff like this makes the HTC Hero to more than just an awesome phone!
Excellent thanks! Flashing now!
Downloading and trying, But somehow I prefer your Chocolate Eclair ROM, Actually I like Sense
downloaded and will flash later... thanks again RaduG!

We will probably have to wait till heyodee drops his 5 cents here and releases the script to enable it, as aparently they have to be customized for each release.
So, wiping dalvik is all I need to do if I come from RC4?
Yes mate. That's pretty much all.
I did just wipe Dalvik and everything works great. It is a pity that so long there will be no updates, but the holidays have to be. So have fun ;-)
That's one of the reasons why I chose to work on this release a few more days, to make it as stable as possible so that you won't need another ROM for a while If you don't need A2DP, it's perfectly fine. But if you do, Chocolate Eclair is waiting for your Hero
Awesome work, thank you, just out of interest, will the trackball led ever work?
********** This is DamianGTO Steam kernel **********
This is the only working steam kernel for froyo 2.2.1.
With this you get a recovery that has touchscreen and all tool you need for your phone.
You also get a good kernel thats fast and very close to stock kernel.
I also made this tool(Damian tweak) to make things a bit easier.
There is a Steam Rom also now. I made it to make it easier for all.
I also have a new kernel that has a simpler recovery, but all script is working.
So look at the DamianGTO Ultimate kernel.
This is what you get with this kernel:
- Full (multi-)touchscreen interface in the recovery.
- Ext2, Ext4, Jfs and rfs file system auto-detection support
- On-line help system
- A primitive File Manager
- An even more primitive console
- Crypto
- Configure options for Steam Kernel
- Afterburner post-flash utility
- 32 bit display support
- Backup/Restore
- Root (installs busybox 1.18.1 and superuser)
- Almost everything CWM had (supports both sdcards, even for usb storage mode, efs backup support, etc.)
- Afterburner
- Theme support with afterburner
- 350MB RAM
- Optimized kernel tweaks
- Alter minfree strict settings
- Deadline schedueler (Optimized)
- Tiny RCU( less memory footprint)
- lowmemorykiller patch
- Support for bootanimation.zip
- Made from froyo 2.2.1 source code.
- Initramfs from JS3 kernel
- No logging after booting the phone.
- Voodoo sound V4
This is a Beta version and it is not 100% stable.
Have always a backup before you use it and when you use it, so you don't loose your data if something unexpected happens.
ROOT:
If you want root you need to install busybox and superuser.
You also must convert your System to Ext2, Ext4 or Jfs.
Lagfix:
You can convert all partition you want to Ext2, Ext4 or Jfs.
I do use EXT2 only right now and its working very good.
Jfs has a bug if you use it on system. you loose all your sound.
This works best for me and its fast, but its up to you what you want to use.
Don't use Ext4 on the Cache if you need all 30MB for downloading from market.
Ext4 will take 4MB for its journal.
Bootanimation:
Put your bootanimation.zip in /data/local folder and it will use that next time the phone boot up.
You must also change it in recovery to use Android boot animation.
If you don't the boot animination will not work and the phone will be black until it has started up.
Theme:
You must change the script in the theme.zip file.
Look in the afterburner section how the script shall be.
You only need to change the updater-script to update-script and make the change thats needed.
I have put in Ext4 and Jfs support in the kernel. People ask to much about it and I dont think its fair for me not to use it when this is the only steam kernel on froyo 2.2.1 that works.
I still think ext2 is a better system for the phone and use it on the Data partition without any problem.
I also used Tiny RCU( less memory footprint) and lowmemorykiller patch to make the kernel a bit better.
**Update **
New kernel again (1k).
This time I did move it to 600HZ and optimized the cpu use.
It should be faster and smother then 1J, but not has as much battery drain then Speed_kernel.
I hope this is right settings and it will not drain more battery then stock.
You dont need afterburner to install themes.
But you still need to change the script to an update-script.
Then you can use the zip option in the recovery.
Afterburner:
Download the theme you want.
Download afterburner.zip( attached last in this post).
Open the zip file and put your theme zip in the catch folder and remove the other file.
Edit the afterburner.conf.
Change the TEST with the name of your theme and what your theme zip file is named.
---[ID:theme
---[NAME:Install TEST Theme
---[HELP:This will install TEST to your phone. Beware! You can only switch back to a previous theme if you have them in a afterburner file.
extract theme
install_package CACHE:TEST.zip
If your theme has updater-script and update-binary then they don't work.
To make them work you need to use update-script and remove both of the files.
In this new file you write where you want the file to be copied.
If you don't know how this script file works then ask and you will get help.
You can also put as many them zip file in the afterburner file you want.
Just copy all folders and rename the Theme folder to a different name and copy the text in afterburner.conf. and write the new folder name in the text you just put in. If you don't know how then ask and i will help you.
I will put some theme up thats already fixed later on.
If you have a theme that you want med to fix just give me a pm.
So try this Steam kernel and tell what you think. If you find any bug then tell me also.

The problem i do have is root issues.
I feel thats most important to solve before i fix other things.
I do run it myself now on a rom from the kitchen.

Way to go.
i can use this with jpy 2.2.1?
I am going to test this!
Edit:
I flashed with a stock JP7 and then Damian's Steam Kernel afterwards.
Everything is working flawless, no problems at all even after two hours extensive using.
Quadrant shows a 1213 which is normal on JP7.
Later I am going to try with Lagfix enabled and other ROMs.
I like the Steam recovery, somehow strange, but kewl and modern ;-)
Kernel seems to be more responsive than the stock kernel!
ok, I flashed my fon with Nitr8's insanity 0.3.2 based on Android 2.2.1.
After that (without even booting it) I flashed with Damian's Steam Kernel.
Everything went flashless, Systems comes up fast - BUT:
The Baseband is NOT recognized from the Steam Kernel. There we still ned to fix, but everything else is working well.
Responsiveness is very good. I am very happy with it so far as it is looking promising.
Using the Quadrant Score gives me just 1180. This is really not enough.
Nevertheless it feels very responsive and smooth ??
Feelig (especially in Recovery Mode and other things like that) very dodgy and often throwing errors out on console makes me not worrying as it is still alpha.
Why is this kernel using 300Hz ? next I need to try some optimizations though.
Edit:
after 2 reboots suddenly the baseband is correctly recognized ??
so I can confirm now it works sufficent to be tested on JPY 2.2.1
Seems to work okey.
This kernel base is the same that the latest z4mod kernel I did.
So they should work the same after you booted up the phone.
The steam recovery is fun, but its need more work to be safe.
**Damiangto steam kernel, 346MB, 300HZ **
*** UPDATE **
I have fixed the root issues.
It should work, but if you get any problem just tell me
I did update the kernel file on the first post.
So download it if you use the first kernel.

The kernel is stable, but the recovery is still alpha and i must test that more and hope for an update if the steam engine.
But if you have a place for kernels thats not stable then you can use it.
I know many want a steam kernel and im suppriced that none have done any yet on jpx source that works.

Yes, maybe start in the beta section to see if is stable
Okay Damian.. Just jumped in with both feet into this Kernel..
Looks nice.. I will continue testing over the weekend,,
Well until I reflash, but the install was super easy, and it installed with no problems.. Looks nice and easy to use..
So far so good.
Installed this kernel under Darky's latest 8.0 ROM. Working fine so far!
I'm going to do some testing with all the settings today, keep you all informed.
Now found this at the HTC Desire forum,but don`t tested
at the moment and don`t know if this works on Desire Z/G2
too!
It seems to be a good solution.
Features:
- Supports: Ext2, Ext3, Ext4 (and if kernel supports it: ) btrfs, ReiserFS
- Supports loop device as optional addon (as siberes data2sd)
- Flashable zip for many app2sd ROMs (no long setup required)
- It does a e2fsck (disk check) on every boot and creates a logfile on the sdcard (/sdcard/e2fscklog.txt)
- looks nice if you do a logcat on boot
- no "settings lost on reboot" bug like in my old or siberes script
- changes the scheduler for the sd-card and internal to noop for better performance on sd.
- Nandroid Backup of EXT2/3/4 external with AmonRa 2.0.0.1 or any clockwork recovery.
- Removes the common app2sd scripts on its own

Hey mate..Thanks for the contribution..I just wanted to ask if there could be any bennefits to using this on a device as DZ..internal memory is more than suufcient and our nand I/O are pretty huge..Back when i had a HTC Desire i used this hack, but i am not sure if this could result in any kind of benefit..Please share ur knowledge/point of view i am interested.
Awesome I might test later... Although like what Chris said, The I/O speeds are pretty fast already
did anyone test this out

Well if you have a class 6 or better sdcard then it will be faster then internal memory that's the only real benefit that I could think of!

Sorry to ask, but i really don't understand this..? what is this about? creating more virtual memory or what is it?
thx
I tried this and it kept causing a boot loop for me.... but I realized later that I think if I had mounted data and cache, like you do for GB gaps it probly would have worked.... just a suggestion. Also there is another all in one data/cache/dalvikcache to sd-ext option that I am testing now.... but I can't remeber were I found it. I think it is called dtappstosd or something like that. And is from the developer dark something...........
EDIT ok he is called dark tremer and it can be found by searching for apps2sd or datasd
EDIT: I should have said mount system/and data.....
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
This is a good idea and good find however, since we have Darktremors a2ext for the G2 and it does data2sd I don't see a huge need for this.
ROM Base by Dungphp RUU Desire HD 3.06.405.1, 3.12.405.1 - With sense 3.0 - Android 2.3.5 Tweakers Edition by Visentinel With STABLE DATA2SD by Sibere
****Pay attention to the install procedure****
Reason for ROM
All tweaked out, and virtually unlimited space thanks to siberes DATA2SD made for Desire roms. ZRAM by Dorimanx and Kernel 2.8 by Dorimanx. Dungphp's sense 3 rom is the best sense rom in town and then i came along and made it even better
Tweaks Feature List
Tweaked IO
- NOOP IO Scheduler set to defualt
- 512 IO Cache
-You can change the above with system tuner set at boot with init.d
Tweaked Ram Management
- Latest Legendary Dorimanx's ZRAM Script
- Automatically mounts mmcblk0p3 for sd-based swap
Stripped Sense 3, just the awesome Sense UI
- Sense 3 Stripped of all useless HTC stock apps + libs (Basically Everything)
- Stripped all downloadable GAPPS
- Launcher Pro is Default, There is no Rosie (Doesn't work after stripping HTC Apps) Install any launcher you prefer
All of Dungphp's rom features...
Working:
- Phone, Sound, Camera, Camcorder, GPS, Data, Wifi, bluetooth ...
- Mount, USB Disk, Gallery, 720p videos, Flash with video, sound streaming ...
Bugs:
- Graphical Glitches - Dont try to fix it, aint as bad as anyone thinks... you can live with it ! - or try and flash a .35 kernel, but performance goes down... is it worth it ?
- Sense Customization settings closes without launching the customization app
INSTALL PROCEDURE
MAGLDR partition sizes - Use Last 24mb NAND - 5/330/10
Install the rom as normal with CWM
Reboot and wait for the rom to finish first boot and complete the HTC wizard, wait a couple of minutes at the launcherpro desktop, you may config wifi and some settings but DO NOT add any accounts to accounts and sync.
Reboot
Flash the Data2SD in CWM
Reboot
Install Superuser from the market
I had to strip "everything" I could to get this rom to boot with enough NAND data space to function before rebooting again to install data2sd. I had 22mb data space left on my first boot.
Enjoy

Fix the "Customize" in settings. One of the HTC Apps was responsible for that
Maybe a Sense 3.5 release but there isn't much difference between 3 and 3.5 for the purposes of this ROM, also I could not shrink a sense 3.5 rom enough for first boot so..
A. I need time to experiment with more stripping ideas
B. Learn how to integrate Siberes Data2SD
C. Figure out why removing the A2SD+ from the sense 3.5 runny roms released here completely breaks them.

kill the rosie.apk and take out the htc screen is a good idea to make the speed up for performance , i did that for my test build ... it's fast and faster.

but be relaxed, i think this will be a stable and cool rom!
tank's bro,downloading now
Cool, you would be the first person other than me to use this rom
let me know how it goes asap, i want to be sure 330m system works, 315 worked for me but as you can see i have under 5mb left.
After you flash go to advanced and report errors, mount sdcard and check the cwm log and make sure all the minzips worked, to ensure you didint run out of system partition space.
And remember to enable use last 24 nand in magldr under services.

So your thinking this could be fixed in a .32 kernel if someone could figure out why the .35 kernel fixes it by finding the missing part ?
I am simply hoping soon Dorimanx might dev a .35 kernel with his performance modifications, I think he just needs time.
Just an update on this rom, the latest zram script by Dorimanx is clashing with this roms oom settings, I am going to work on tweaking it. I will post an updated zram script for this ROM once I am satisfied with the settings.
-Update
2nd post has CWM flash zip with a better zram script.
Dorimanx Kernel 2.8 had a Bluetooth Bug, attached to 2nd post is updated 2.9 kernel.
can't test now, but thanks anyway for a new sense work for Hd2!
I suggest to update kernel to 2.9 in order to fix bt bug
I will test this rom next week

yes, that is what i want to say, I think that should has possible be fix. but if someday DM decide to coding .35 ... well, I thought we put it away temporary and try our best for cooking rom first, and if possible then we could try to fix and coding kernel together. because kernel builder not to many but have lot of chefs, so i thought maybe we should join to kernel part to find out the bugs.

It's a good idea but atleast for me I know nothing of kernels, I can't even figure out how to compile a kernel lol, I have tried.
I will ask dorimanx if he is willing to assist in this tho, I will offer him my full support to test.

If anyone has any sod issues just let me know il make an update to stop loading sd based swap. Usually sd swap is the reason for it.
Posted from my tweaked DHD.
Hi,
I'm thinking about which app2sd implementation for HTC Desire is the best. I know it depends on the ROM, but some solutions are more/less universal. Right now, I'm using CM7.1 ROM and I'm planning to try its clones (MildWild / Cibernodo Mod2Bravo) or ICS when will be final.
I'm using a microSD Sandisk Mobile Ultra 32GB, Class 6, partitioned with gParted (30GB fat32 + 1,5GB ext4).
I consider those options:
S2E (simple2ext) - probably the best solution for CM ROMs.
AMARULLZ DATA TO SD-EXT - for some people too laggy and problematic, Plus: System App Data + Dalvik in Internal, System App apk + 3rd party App Data & Apk on sd-ext
DarkTremmor A2SD Script - uses symbolic links as others. Some people reported problems too, some people are satisfied.
sibere's Data2SD - I tried with my old card (A-Data class6) , but I faced huge lags. Minus: complicated installation, no longer support for lates script for easy installation.
Proz0r's INT2SD For AOSP - no symlinks whatsoever, seems to be very good and fast. I faced some FCs after some time, but it was with old version. Minus: not universal - must be compiled for every single ROM independently.
Mounts2SD - I'm running right now, seems to be very good, fast and stable. Plus: still in development, aroma installer, lot of options, universality.
From my experiences: for the best performance (speed) is recommended to left dalvik cache in internal, and if possible also application data should stay in internal memory.
What are your experiences? What are the advantages /disadvantages of the concrete solutions according to you?
I am interested about stability (FCs, random restarts) and speed (lags)?
in my experience, s2e is the best for cm7, as it is built specifically for it. I found amarullz xscript too laggy and problematic, although I've heard that it has improved lately. I tried Proz0r's INT2SD but I found it unusable - extreme lag. sibere's Data2SD was ok for me. I would recommend sibere's d2sd out of the lot, except for cm7.

best so far, in my opinion: AD2SDX by amarullz (CM7r2 HBOOT)
Mounts2SD plays great with ICS.
Used s2e before
Thank you all for your replies .
I had new experience with Proz0r's INT2SD (with CM7.1) - from the beginning it was very good, but after few days I was facing FCs (force closes of many applications). Reboot helped just on short time.
Right now I decided to try Cibernodo's MOD of CM7 and I have these experience:
- with the S2E - I had again performance problem and not enough space.
- According to discussion, there were some problems also with DarkTremmor A2SD
- so I'm trying AMARULLZ solution.
I will report the performance/stability after some time.
Can i use ad2sdx for mildwild or cm7 nightly rom? If yes, where can i get that?

Don't know if you can use it (just make backup and try it). But here you have the thread:

@siavash2death: i think it will work without problem (as i'm using it also with Cibernodo ROM based on CM7 nightly), but make a backup for sure.
BTW: link is also in my first post and my signature...
