[ROM][Froyo/Sense]3rdSense 1.00[01/23][Added ?/sym key] - myTouch 3G Slide Android Development

Hi everyone,
After lurking for awhile (and playing in the kitchen), I thought I should give out to the community for once.
I know that we already have two of the same Froyo sense ROM around... and unfortunately... this will look exactly like Miguel's and Whoareyou's Froyo Sense... except this version has WiFi (no hotspot), defaulted APN settings, and other apps installed for your convenience.
I'm nowhere near any dev's level in terms of deving (in fact I'm not even a dev. I just ported this because I can), but hey, I do what I can to help.
Here's a summary of this rom:
Ported from Legend's Gratiend ROM, and official froyo rom too.
What does NOT work:
fn/cap indicator
What is buggy:
Rotation (on homescreen) :\
01/23
ALMOST everything works. ?/sym keys are back! Special thanks for nbetcher for helping!

Minor update. Major issues are still not fixed...
But added data2ext:moving the whole /data to the ext partition. Right now only supports ext2, and has to have 4kb blocksize (adb shell mke2fs -m0 -b4096 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2)
type in data2ext --enable in adb shell, then reboot. You MUST have a fast sdcard (class 6) to make this worthwhile; otherwise you will just lag real bad.

note that the performance is done after oc and data2ext.
Special thanks to Blay0 for making this happen.

Now a2sd friendly! credit goes to acejoker for making this happen
after flashing the rom all you need to do is flash the a2sd package and that's it!
a2sd enabling package is here-> taken from thread [MOD] A2EXT Froyo.
also, deodexed.
Overclocking kernel is already inside. Just use setCPU to detect speed.
There might be some bugs in there still.
Report back!
Daniel.
Changelog:
1.0 Pretty much fully functional. Added ?/sym key functionality

I love you. A combined effort from you and miguel and this will be our best rom yet!

just realized that tethering doesn't work in this rom...

---

Did you try out an alternative Wifi Tether method, like Barnacle? Just because the wifi app in the Sense rom doesn't work doesn't mean that tethering itself doesn't work lol.
ALSO, could you possibly include the KB light app that someone mentioned in Miguel's thread? Apparently it forces the KB lights into working.

---

Interesting. Has anyone tried it already?

---

Yes. Wifi works great.

The app is on market. It does not work how you are expecting...basically you add a widget that turns the lights off and on ondemand.

Downloaded and installed. Multiple android.process.acore force closes. Phone wouldnt work i.e. couldn't call anyone. Reverted back to CM Nightlies will try again when more stable.
PS- other than the force closes everything else looked tip-top and I loved the apps you included. good work so far!!

Niiiiiiice dude!
You mind sharing how you fixed wifi? I had a couple ideas but I've been so busy I haven't worked on anything in weeks. What I had in mind was hex editing libhardwarelegacy.so (don't remember if that's exactly what it was called, it's been a while since I've poked around) to call our proper wifi module, but I never really got time to even try.

---

Dang! Get some KB and this rom will be perfect.

Barnacles actually reboot the phone upon tethering... dunno why.
Was the kb app called backlight off?

hmm that's weird. Did you do a full wipe beforehand? And is there other people experiencing the same problem?

Getting a whopping 10.xx MFLOPS!
It's more than I can get on CM

This is gonna make me sound dumb but the truth is i didn't do any hex editing... All I ended up doing is porting through kitchen, and extracted the boot.img and make the legend rom look like the espresso rom. LOL
Speaking of which, anybody knows why landscape doesn't work on homescreen?

because the rom was for a keyboardless phone so there wasnt any landscape pics added to make it look right when forced into that mode

Awesome! thanks for your contributions, maybe a more experienced dev can get their hands on this and clean it up.

I think he means the hardware files+libs(?)+buildprop.

Have, System Contolled disabled.
And, Disable Backlight on Boot enabled.

I pretty much extracted the boot.img from kitchen and renamed the init.legend.rc to init.latte.rc... pretty sure that wasn't it though...
jw, did you ever try porting gratiend?
