is it not strange that it wouldnt completely fit. they have the same RAM and ROM right? did they find a way to carve out a little additional memory for the sense stuff? also with memory being dirt cheap why in the hell do they not put a stinking gig of RAM and ROM in these phones? trust me i would pay the marginal increase in cost.

I visited the XDA site and the port does not look buggy at all. Very few bugs. Hope this is dropped soon. I want my Nexus one to get a great build and that requires tons of testing. That is where curent N1 users come in.

For those of you who have not checked out the link here are what the ROM contains or is lacking...

- If you rebuild the boot image replacing the kernel it runs. I'm running my own custom kernel with himem and bits.
- The system.img doesn't fit on the N1 (!), it's nearly 200MB. I booted by moving some stuff off the system partition.
- The trackball works.
- The 4 bottom keys work.
- The proximity sensor works.
- The LED works.
- The light sensor works.
- The compass and G sensor work.
- The camera works fine and is great with face recognition and touch focus.
- The FM radio loads, but makes no sound / finds no stations it seems. Maybe we need Desire radio ROM?
- The build I have is watermarked - i've removed the obvious visual watermarks but no, you can't have this release - when I get a watermark free drop, yes!
- Flash 10.1 is included and works well.
- It's FAST!
- WiFi works
- Bluetooth works
- 800x480 video recording, camera maxes out at 3MP (fixed in later builds)

- Mic not yet working - likely related to the voice cancellation feature (not tried to fix this yet)

Not stable enough, at least not for me. It sure in interesting though...
