Desire ROM ported to the N1 (Alpha 10 now Live)

[Jeremy]

Alpha 8 has been delayed a bit it seems. Guess they want to test it a bit more before releasing it to the public.

Alpha 8 is out, you must WIPE prior to install. Check out the changelog:

- Hugely, HUGELY, optimised for space. Only the framework sits on /data now, and I foresee that with more work, we might even be able to fit everything on /system!
- dalvik-cache moved to /cache, this frees up a ton of space on /data
- .32 Custom kernel by myself and teknologist with undervolt for low frequencies only, our usual modules etc. for VPN, tun and the like, props to persiansown for the UC source and cyanogen for the kernel git - this should fix Bluetooth!
- USB mount app preinstalled
- Maps 4 port by Brut preinstalled which adds multitouch and non US navigation (both tested)
- Gallery 3D app from Nexus One preinstalled (multitouch tested and working)
- Added default android keyboard with voice search - also fixes voice search issues!
- Added alternate news widget from Nexus One (GenieWidget)
- Online kitchen for MoDaCo Ad Free / Plus members (see my sig for deets)
- Slimmed down customize directory with added en-US - thanks qteknology for the inspiration. All the space counts!

I was wondering if you might check the gallery app for me. I just found out how crappy the N1 gallery app is (compresses images and reduces resolution) and I'm hoping the gallery on Sense preserves the original quality of my images.

In alpha 9 he has both the stock 3D gallery from the Nexus One and the stock HTC sense gallery. You can use either or. I am not seeing any compression.

Seems like he (Modaco) is the Koush of the Nexus One.

They man is dedicated it seems. He did make kitchen where you can mix and match pieces of stock 2.1 Android along with HTC's version. Pretty nice.

I left beta 9 just a little while ago. For whatever reason I would lose haptic feedback and would have to reboot. Little things like that drive me crazy.

He says he is waiting for his sources to get him an updated ROM... should be sweet.

 

[Jeremy]

I'm a few days late updating but Alpha 10 is out... camera and BT are still not fixed but expect a completely new build real soon from the sounds of it. Can't wait.

 

[Roy Aguilera]

Do you like the ROM aside from those two missing features?
I should have my N1 come the 27th

There are some things I do not like honestly. I don't like the looks of HTC's notification bar and I don't like the messaging app.

Those are the two main reasons I paid for a subscription from Paul's site to use his kitchens where I can mix and match what I want and what I don't want. Makes it slick.

PS - You will forget all about your Droid...

Also don't like HTC's keyboard honestly... prefer stock Androids more.

Alpha 11 is out. Camera is 5 megapixels and flash is working again.

Flash is early it seems. Pretty useless. Also BT is not stable... I can't go back until that is fixed properly.

 

[Roy Aguilera]

Sounds like its almost ready for primetime.

As soon as BT is fixed I'll go back. I just rely on that too much to go without it. Other than that everything is fast and smooth.

Interesting factoid for you all -

I got a look at the Desire Dump (supposedly...no watermark though) and the initialization scripts are full of stuff for WiMax and CDMA radio.

Desire=SuperSonic maybe?

 

[Roy Aguilera]

Interesting.

 

[Jeremy]

Alpha 14 and still no working Bluetooth... bummer.
