Android 1.5 and BFS

Is it possible to get this combination? Currently, I've tried Cyanogen stable 4.0.2 (4.0.4 seems to have problems for me) as well as the experimental 4.1.9.2, and while I really like the speed with BFS, too many of the apps I use do not support Donut yet.
Is BFS a Donut thing, or can it be used with Cupcake?

Not a donut/cupcake thing, as its a kernel patch.

It probably could but I don't think you'll find a dev willing to do it. Your best bet is to contact the dev of the app that doesn't work on donut and ask them to work on it. They should already be working on it as donut will be released to the masses soon. Who knows you might actually be asked to test some beta apps.

2.1 ROM W/29 Kernel|OC|JIT|DConfig|Darktremor A2SD version 2.7 3r1

Does one exist? I've done a lot of XDA searching and reading, and can't find one single rom that has all of these features..
I am looking for greater performance. I've gotten 3.0 MFLOPS with Linpack
I dont mind if the rom has sense or not.
Yes, I have practiced: rooted, nandroid BU, titanium backup, and have wiped and flashed multiple roms (DC, Aloysius, FreshToast, PureHero, Superhero, Darchdroid)
(I have flashed dconfig and the apps2sd on top of the roms and it undoes theming)
Should I just flash what I want on top of DC, or wait for new builds?

Looks like Buufed 2.0.1 or BlueEcho 2.1.6
Any other ideas?

40+ people looked at this... clearly they had the same question.
Anyone?

Most of the roms u saides u tried have all the things ur looking for purehero would be the fasest of those i'm guessing cause it's senseless and it has a2sd already in the rom and also has dconfig inculded and dd2.7 also has a2sd imcluded but it's more like the froyo a2sd as in the a2sd is controled in settings>manage apps>app name and both those are oc'ed and dd2.7 can be undercolted as well so I would try them agaim and linpack does work the best with our prosser so it will be hard to get more than 3mflops with amy rom till mayne froyo. But I have heard of giys getting around 5 with dd2.7

Thanks, gobi. I didnt know that darchcroid had the .29 kernel
DD2.7 I was getting around 2.8 to 3.1 MFLOPS.
maybe it was A2SD in menu

The Darktremor A2SD/Apps2SD will work for just about any rom out there (if it doesn't work on a particular rom, let me know and I'll check it out). I currently run it on DarchDroid 2.7. Previously, I was running it on Buufed, Fresh, Blue Echo, modified stock rom, DamageControl, FreshToast...you can tell I switch roms a lot (have to test the program on various roms to make sure it works).
So, if you want the Darktremor Apps2SD, just pick a rom you want to use and download the 2.7 Update 3r1 or 2.7.5. Preview Fix 2.
2.7 Update 3r1: http://www.darktremor.info/files/a2sd/a2sd-2.7-update3r1-signed.zip
2.7.5 Preview Fix 2: http://www.darktremor.info/files/a2sd/dtapps2sd-2.7.5-pf2-signed.zip

DarkDroid 2.7 has the .34 kernel:

Oh my bad trikiton I thought it was his .29 cause he was still working on his .32 kernerl when j posted that
And if i'm running an aloyiosm based rom with dconfig is flashing ur a2sd going to break dconfig??

DarchDroid 2.7 for me is between 4.5 & 4.8 MFLOPS.

Hey, I want to listen to driving direction thru my bluetooth...Hero with plantronic pro any suggestions. Thanks

I too am hitting 4.5-4.8 MFLOPS on DarchDroid 2.7 with the UV/OC #15 kernel. Didn't realize it was .34 based until I read this thread. =)
The crazy thing to me is, I downloaded the Froyo build a few days ago, and I can't get above 2.5 MFLOPS with it. Was really shocking, and made it incredibly worth it to stick with DarchDroid 2.7. I'm missing the HTC phone (in-call, mainly) and contacts, but otherwise 2.7 is a dream come true!

Thanks to all of you...
Thanks, Ive found that Buufed was the smoothest.
I love the way PureHero Snowmaps looked, but in the end I think I'm going with DarchDroid.
tkirton thanks for your help.
Guys, thanks for your feedback on Darchdroid.
I cant find any info yet on the UV kernel. I look at that next.

Which version
Is there any notation on which version to use?
One for JIT, one for A2SD?
Do i flash both?

[Q] 2.2 Roms in a nutshell

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.

What is the best rom Now?

I used now Eclair and is good but i need change.
I need stable, fast and good Rom.
What can u do "offer"?

Try different ROM's and decide for yourself

i have tried just about every ROM on this forum and I always go back to HTCDevil's "fast and light ROM v2.0.
it is fast, light and stable. i would like to switch to one of the "froyo hacked" ROMs, but i need my video recorder ans more stability than the 2 i have tried provide for now (motofrenzy and bastardized).

Anything eclair based if you want stable, Personally I've had no massive issues with Bastardized and having Froyo is nice anyway. Sense ROMs are a bit slower due to the lack of RAM/Swap but still usable but not as a daily driver

im using cyanogenmod 6 from kabaldan, everything works fine and its really stable

I would try "CyanogenMod" works really great.
But more battery consumption.
App2sd @ FAT32 is awesome

i instaled cyan and i have many fc ;/
On fast and light rom fast consumtion battery.
And i return too EclairMod.

Telus Lite V4.1

CM 6 stopped all reboot issues from official Motocrap ROM for me.

I have a Milestone in Argentina and i flashed it with Telus 3.11 which in my opinion is for now the best stable ROM. You have to manual install the 3D Gallery as it does not come wit this ROM.
From Telus you can choose to flash CM6 (i think) which in my opinion is still buggy and lot of user report problems with that or this.
Other possibility is than Telus Light 4.x or the upcoming 5.x, but includes heavy overclock.
I my self stay with Telus 3.11, de installed all the system/app crap, some boot manipulations, root, and a own theme based on Buggless Evolution. I am happy with it. No overlock, etc. as i am not a guy who plays a lot of cpu intensive games.
Perhaps i am going to improving the java engine.
Resume: Flash Telus 3.11 and from there you go.

I'm happy with eclair v3a for now. Battery life and lack of viable camera keep me away from the Froyo roms. In my opinion regardless of what else might be packed inside, the eclair rom has some crap cleaned out of it, has superuser and overclocking and a some other bells or whistles and it all works.
Good enough for me till someone cracks the kernal or we get a real milestone froyo.
Regards, PK
P.S. I've heard this lament for other roms, why does ADW or power launcher seem jerky at higher clock speeds?

xslntx's telus lite rom v4 is amazingly fast and stable. A hybrid rom based on euro and telus. Governed over/under clocking so battery life is good, but power is there when needed. V5 is coming out which promises to speed things up even more.

at least majority of the framework + libs are original droid libs, and is as official as it can get..
but i guess camera was always an issue, but this is soon past tence, when we get a good kernel, i might just fix a final motofrenzy before it gets officially released, as cm6 is not official, but is based on custom compiles based off android opensource.

In my opinion, the best ROM nowadays is the Eclair-based EclairMOD v3B by 89luca89. Fast and stable, never a reboot! Froyo based ROMs are faster just running benchmarks, in everyday use I think Eclair is still a step forward..

Eclair is actually a step backwards... i am fortunate to have tested a 2.1 on Galaxy S which really shows why you would chose froyo compared to a 2.1 rom.
Imagine opening 5 different apps, having 2 flash videos running in different windows and a game as well..
handling is so much so faster which is memory + froyo handling on top.
secondly for milestone, you get the option to move apps (non-rooted) to a sdcard, which is thanks to froyo too...
with all the extra froyo adds in already existing semi-2.2 roms, you simply meant patience is gold, but for some, that is already found.. i have been very happy with milestone running motofrenzy and motosense , and note: no reboots!!
but lacks camera, but i could care less, as ms camera is not worth much anyways...
with the early release of froyo 2.2 kernel, im sure you will upgrade very soon...
either official or to a custom cmX rom.

Froyo is surely much better as specs, but for everyday use, 2.2 ROMs have more disavantages than avantages, starting from the camera, battery life, mobile overheating, random reboot.. I'm speaking on my personal experience, maybe I was just unlucky!
Overall speed is true, is better on Froyo, but overall I still prefer Eclair. I've tried all 2.2 roms here and no one works absolutely fine on my Milestone, as better roms will come out, I'll surely upgrade to 2.2.. but now, Eclair for me!

[Q] Best Kernel for my HTC Hero?

I've done some researching and found out that some kernels are better than the ones the ROMS bring... not sure whether this is true but would like to know if this IS true which kernel is the best you guys have come across that makes games run faster, smoother?
Tips appreciated!

Ideally you should stick with the kernel that comes with your ROM. There are slight differences between the kernels that can cause issues.
For instance, CyanogenMod 7 and its derivatives already contain an up-to-date version of Decad3nce's kernel. So there's no need to flash his (now outdated) kernel over these ROMs. Doing so will break CM7's built-in CPU controls and may cause instability.
On the other hand, some of the older, Sense-based ROMs have software that hasn't been updated to reflect changes in the kernel. These ROMs need kernels designed especially for them.
The best idea in regard to stability is to stay with what you have. If you're feeling adventurous, you should look for an explicit statement of compatibility either in a ROM or kernel developer's thread.

Thanks ill read more about s0be and stick with aosp's default kernel.
Sent from my GingerHERO200 using XDA App

Interesting......I was under the impression that all of the Cyanogen kernels were capped at 691 MHz though? My phone is stable to 748 MHz with virtually every rom I've tried crashes at 768 MHz. I have been using the Decafuct uncapped #589 kernel with RC4, however it doesn't work at all with 7.0.0 stable and the pre-packed kernel seems very sluggish to me compared with how RC4 runs.
