the only thing that I dislike about this rom is that it uses the donut browser. is it possible to use the eclair browser on this rom? how? thanks.
Don't think so. You could grab the apk from cyan's rom and try to replace the browser, but there are frameworks that are needed which enomthers rom might not have.
I wonder if someone could make an update.zip to flash the eclair browser over existing roms?
To my knowledge it's in cyan's rom and on his github.
Be more specific on what you mean by existing roms, because most of them have the browser as far as the ones I have tested. Because Enomther uses official updates, then add-on's, he might not include those eclair bits (correct me if I am mistaken, I have never used his rom).

Except for Cyanogen's rom (which is good) I'd like to try some others, as dxtop runs pretty slow on my dream.
Anyways, I use the EBl1 radio, obviously and the tutorial at Cyanogen's site says: Avoid themes, enhancements, add-ons or anything else that writes to the kernel. Be very sure before installing a theme that it is EBI1-friendly.
So if themes can affect the custom kernel surly custom roms wont work either? I'd just like a very fast rom, maybe to try out eclair or a hero build or something!

This is the part when I feel like an idiot
Sorry
I was considering re-rooting my G-1, and am fully capable of doing it without help, as i had it set up before cupcake's official release, on JF's cupcake rom. Mainly, i would like a 2.x Rom, that EVERYTHING WORKS ON!
I see a lot of different roms to flash, and basically want all the functionality of 1.6 stock plus the added perks of 2.x......
I see tons of roms with either camera not working, unstable, needs a different radio flash etc. Is there a 2.x rom, all inclusive of stock 2.x?? If there was a promise of an ota to eclair, i would just wait for it,but the only talk for the g1 and eclair are rumours....
reading through all the change logs to try and find one that everything works on is making my brain numb, and its all starting to sound like jibberish. I don't care about themes, as i like to set up my own homescreens, wallpa[er, widgets, etc...
any help would be appreciated, as i am not a develper and some of what the change logs show does not make sense to me, so if something in the rom says unstable/not working, i really don't want it to avoid functionality issues...
thanks in advance
JD
There is not a rom that everything works because we are missing the drivers, thats why Camcorder and Video playback dosnt work on any Eclair rom. There are stable roms, like Manup v1.5 and KingxOver (not sure, but KingKlick + Herver = Good rom.) But you wont find a complete Eclair rom on the whole internet, so stop looking for it...want a fast and stable complete Donut rom, i suggest you to try CSDI v1, wich is totally amazing.
Stick with 1.6 custom roms for now until the development of 2.x is fully compatible and problem free. Unless you can provide technical data and good feedback to those developers just play it safe and content.
See my signature, tried and true its one of the fastest 1.6 Roms there is. Try it and you will see with your own eyes.
Ok so I really love the mightymax hero browser and flash I have used it on my g1 it is really fast and flash works well enough, can anyone help explain to me how to replace the browser in the king 2.1 rom with this one I have the king rom and it is very strong i just hate the newer browser.
So far i tried to add the flashlite.apk file the browser.apk and the flashplayer.apk to the app_s folder. in the zip however when I try to install in the recovery menu it fails says there is a mismatch.
can someone guide me I am just interested in getting the one from mightymax or king hero sense the newest rom type running.
thanks
Ian
You want this:
Max's hero(1.5) browser to replace the one found in 2.1 hero from King?
It may or may not work since you want the 1.5 browser in a 2.1 rom.
I want the 1.5 hero browser with flash in either superd 1.7 or kings 2.1 eclair or I would settle for kings hero eclair browser with flash in kings 2.1 eclair
kings eclair 2.1 runs very good for me with overclockerwidget and droid swapper set at 90 swap with 80 swappiness.
the only thing I hate about eclair is the eclair browser.
I just thought the mighty max hero browser was really fast and smooth.
I really want to learn how to do this myself and I am looking for some tutorial help.
thanks
I may have posted this in the wrong place if so mods please move it to the right one.
can anyone tell me if this can be done and if so how? or if it has been?
i'm not 100% on android as im new, but what i do know is you're trying to "flash" the zip file to your phone which is wrong
the APK files need installing using apps installer, not sure if this will make the flash part of the browser work, but i know you're not supposed to try and flash the browser using the .zip method
let me know if it works? i'm going to try this myself tonight
You cant put the hero browser on non-hero roms, it needs too much gumpf
I'm using TheOfficial AOSP 1.6 rom , and was wondering if anyone can give me an update.zip for the Eclair browser.
The one with MultiTouch and user profiles like (iPhone , Desktop , Internet Explorer 6 , Android , etc.)
Thank You.
how about ripping it from cyanogen's latest donut rom and installing it yourself?

i pulled the browser from cyanogens latest donut rom , pushed it to my phone , but it won't install...
i would appericate if someone know's of an update.zip and can share it with me , or perhaps make me one. thanks for your time.
i really hope you get that working im thinking of going bact to donut or cupcake but will miss a few things
Your only chance of getting this to work is ripping it from various Donut ROMs that include an Eclair browser and pushing it to /system/app or just intalling it. If it doesn't install, it won't work. I don't think offical AOSP even supports multi-touch.
I thought multi touch was enabled in the kernel, not the app. I could have sworn I read that somewhere.
Ok, i've been absent from the forums for some time and have been trying to play catch up... If someone who has been keeping up would just help me get a few things straight it would be awesome.
please just put the number and if its correct or the answer or w.e.
What I think I know:
1. CyanogenMod- Established dev who releases nightly updates (CM6?) to his tweaked build of rooted mostly ASOP 2.2, which recently (thanks to a new kernal?) began working on our CDMA Hero’s.
2. Most 2.2 ROMs are based off of one of the CM6 nightlies, then customized with themes and tweaks
3. “CyanogenMod-6 for Hero CDMA - V6.0.0 (09/18/2010)” is one of these, and has been tweaked minimally, and is considered a stable build as far as CM6 goes
4. “FroYo 2.2 – CM6- Vanilla” is basically same as above, just complied from a differently “nightly”, while “Extremely Blue” and “BlackMod” are the same, just themed
5. The main (only?) NON–CM6 based options for 2.2 are…
a. asopMod v.03m = which is a very ASOP build, includes OC
b. NFX-Hero 2.2.1.update1 = slimed down ASOP, includes OC and JIT option
Questions:
6. If I want the CM6 nightly updates, is there an updater app in any of these ROMS’s, like in Fresh Hero 2.4 (what I’m used to), or do I have to pull an update.zip from somewhere (or something)?
7. Do some phones work with JIT enabled, and others don’t? and if so is there a way to tell without just trying
8. If I'm set on 2.2 should I check out any other ROMs than those I mentioned
9. Is there a standout (stable) kernal right now?
Just want to say:
NFX-Hero 2.2.1 is just the version number. It is still based on HTC Sense 2.1.
There is currently no Sense 2.2 port for the Hero.
As for the stable kernel, I've heard good things about this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756774
specifically [email protected] 09/14/2010, people refer to it as "#14 kernel"

Cyan is the almighty grand pubba of AOSP and was one of there first to release roms in the mainer we see them now. He does not do everything and all roms as he has allot of help from other devs, for us its Darch who maintains the Heroc version of cyanogen (sorry if I forgot some of you other devs)
2. Most 2.2 ROMs are based off of one of the CM6 nightlies, then customized with themes and tweaks
All of the roms you see for the heros here that are AOSP based com from darch's and then cyans repo period, nightlies are built roms while we theme built roms roms deving is done from source and can be taken from different time and snap shots so nightly means nothing then.
3. “CyanogenMod-6 for Hero CDMA - V6.0.0 (09/18/2010)” is one of these, and has been tweaked minimally, and is considered a stable build as far as CM6 goes
The stable build of cm6.0 is from the combined deving of cyan, darch and alot of other people to bring the best of wheat works and leave out what doesn't. Nightlies usually are adding what seems to work but is not always guarenteed
4. “FroYo 2.2 – CM6- Vanilla” is basically same as above, just complied from a differently “nightly”, while “Extremely Blue” and “BlackMod” are the same, just themed
Black mod is a theme, extreme blue is a themed rom compiled from cyan/drach's source vinilla is a terms used to describe a stock rom which is what cm6.00 stable and anyhting else that comes from the repo.
5. The main (only?) NON–CM6 based options for 2.2 are…
a. asopMod v.03m = which is a very ASOP build, includes OC
b. NFX-Hero 2.2.1.update1 = slimed down ASOP, includes OC and JIT option
I'll go ape **** on this but asopMod v.03m is from cyan's source ino at first he tried to make it seem like he compiled from AOSP source but the fact is he uses cyans like almost everone else and if you check his thread now he given the props the the cyan team as he should have at first.... NFX-her is a sense based rom from android 2.1
Questions:
6. If I want the CM6 nightly updates, is there an updater app in any of these ROMS’s, like in Fresh Hero 2.4 (what I’m used to), or do I have to pull an update.zip from somewhere (or something)?
Not yet but that would be nice nightlies are not considered stable and there for i dont think theyll be added to an updater like cm updater or fresh updater but when we start seeing more stable builds you'll see the updater used, cm updater is on cm6 right now just nothing to update
7. Do some phones work with JIT enabled, and others don’t? and if so is there a way to tell without just trying
All phones should work with JIT (Just in Time) dalvik compiler, whether they run betters is a different story but I have never had issues
8. If I'm set on 2.2 should I check out any other ROMs than those I mentioned
For sense I like fresh as he seems to be the best sense dev (imo) around here for AOSP you go with the grand master Cyan and his cm6 (for the hero) there are some other devs out there that make roms for other phones but most of them still use Cyan's repo.
9. Is there a standout (stable) kernal right now?
Yes Decadence

if anyones see's an error in what i posted please correct me.
Any froyo rom is going to be based off of CM6. The nightlies are built every night from any changes made that day. They are considered beta, however most will find no issues at all. If you flash CM6 the Jit setting is a quick change and will not screw up the phone. You just go into setting>cyanogenmod setttings>performance settings and check or uncheck jit and reboot. There is a ROM Manager app in CM6, but you have to install clockwork recovery so I am not sure what will show up in the ROMs option or what else it does because I do not want to install clockworks. As mentioned a lot are using #14.

not a lot shows up in the downloads section for rom manager on the hero. there's 4 selections, and none of them include cm6. it's mostly useless in my experience.
hopefully they update the downloads list soon.

Actually i was referring to cm updater which is similar to the fresh updater... when we see more stables from cm6 and up it'll start showing some it that. I personally don't care for rom manager.

rom manager could use some work to make it a bit more useful. i like it for queuing up roms to flash and making things a bit more automated, however i'm not sure it clears the dalvik cache when it does its thing so i generally have to do it myself anyways.
i'll have to check out fresh updater. i have cm updater, installed from the market, does it actually come with cm6 now? i never saw it when i flashed the 9/18 and already had it installed when i clean flashed the latest nightlies.

Well fresh updater is pretty much the same as cm updater but its only for fresh roms. cm updater might not be part of cm6 I can't, it probably isnt. I actually would like it to be as with cm5 and below it also had themes in it. hopefully itll come back when theres more cm6 stables.
Thanks all. Didn't want to jump into 2.2 without knowing what I was getting into. I decided to start with CM6.0.0, and so far its been great. As mush as I love all things Freshh, I'm mad I waited this long. I DO miss the Senses dialer (minus the ungodly lag) and I havent made up my mind on the keyboard, but the overall speediness is killer.
Hell yea froyo/ CM.
