12/18/2009 [UNOFFICIAL] v1.3 - CDMA MoDaCo ROM 1.3
 

I've had this up on xda for weeks, I figured I'd share it here as well with all the ppcg crowd as well!

12/18/09 Update
Here is my most recent version of the updated MoDaCo rom. I have fixed the version display info.

This rom should be safe to upgrade from stock or MoDaCo 1.1 roms.

Changelog:
1.3a:
-rebuilt properties file
-shuffled some apk's

1.3:
-no longer requires wipe to install/upgrade
-fixed ssh password in about screen
-fixed version info to show correctly
-all market apps should show correctly
-updated to busybox without color codes (this is for the windows users using adb shell)
-upgraded to latest relase of wifi tether
-minor performance tweaks and optimizations
-minor interface tweaks (new lockscreen, animations)

1.2c:
fixed issue with protected apps not showing up in market
reverted displayed version # in phone settings (sprint update is still there though)

1.2b:
fixed builld/version info
fixed force close issues for people who upgrade from MoDaCo 1.1

1.2a:
manually patched Sprint Maintenance Release to MoDaCo 1.1 rom.


Get 1.3 http://sardos.org/modaco_1.3a.zip.
Install from the recovery console. No wipe should be necessary!

Please post here if you have problems.

What are the minor tweaks and how is this different from Fresh?

Re: 12/15/2009 [UNOFFICIAL] v1.3 - CDMA MoDaCo ROM 1.3
 

I optimized some apk's most notably the rosie.apk which I managed to reduce to 930k-ish in size.

I see, great job buddy!
also thanks for the prompt answers. If you don't mind I have several more lol,

what are the speed difference compared to stock and which apps are in and which are out? I tried to find out from modaco's site but nothing was there.
Thanks for the great work once again.

when can we expect your offical rom and what will it include

Re: 12/15/2009 [UNOFFICIAL] v1.3 - CDMA MoDaCo ROM 1.3
 

Stock apps are all in place. The additional apps are wifi-tether and su permissions app (mostly a background service). Another thing to note, is busybox. It adds a lot of full linux usability back into to command line. Most people will probably not use that.

My official ROM will be out some time in early January. I'm flying from Hawaii to New York for Christmas and I intend on spending most of my time there with family and not rotting away making wonderful things on the computer. Once I get back though I do intend on going full steam on rom development. Wife and child permitting that is. I always place family first.

I have an HTC Hero CDMA
Firmware 1.5
Kernel v. 2.6.27-533ce29d
Build 1.29.651.1

I attempted the install of 1.1-update-heroc-modacocustomrom-core-signed
with success. However, I eventually realized I could no longer receive Text messages.

Reverted to earliest Nandroid, and then to original factory .img, but still could not receive txts.
Ended up swapping for a new phone at store once all attempts to fix failed.

Do you believe the 1.3 version of MoDaCo may experience this same issue?
I can swap the phone for free at the local Sprint store until my 30-day grace period is over. It's not long off.
Thanks for the input.

Re: 12/15/2009 [UNOFFICIAL] v1.3 - CDMA MoDaCo ROM 1.3
 

Forgot to mention.
May main reason for doing this is:
1) Wifi tethering
2) Apps2SD (I'm annoyed at the meager app storage limitation. VPN, etc. is a memory hog)

Thanks

Re: 12/15/2009 [UNOFFICIAL] v1.3 - CDMA MoDaCo ROM 1.3
 

It's pretty much impossible for a (working) rom to cause that. Especially if you went back to a nandroid backup from before the issue occurred. Either your phone was messed up or it wasn't provisioned properly in the first place. There's no reason you should experience that issue on this rom though. Good luck!

Update went very smooth from version 1.2c to 1.3. :) Took only 7 minutes total.

Re: 12/15/2009 [UNOFFICIAL] v1.3 - CDMA MoDaCo ROM 1.3
 

whats the difference between this and fresh's 1.0? which is faster?

Re: 12/15/2009 [UNOFFICIAL] v1.3 - CDMA MoDaCo ROM 1.3
 

I was about to ask that also lol.

Please mess around with it alot and share your experience with us. ;)

Re: 12/15/2009 [UNOFFICIAL] v1.3 - CDMA MoDaCo ROM 1.3
 

Data on the modaco , imo is a little slower but the rosie and faster

Re: 12/15/2009 [UNOFFICIAL] v1.3 - CDMA MoDaCo ROM 1.3
 

Actually I had the same issue with texting on my phone before root ever came out. There was an issue with the 1.29 rom and sprint hero hardware that would prevent you from getting text messages. Once a certain flag was set in the phone this would happen and there was no way to reset it. I had my phone replaced and I've reflashed it probably 50 times testing roms and changes to this particular rom without a hiccup. You should be safe.

Re: 12/15/2009 [UNOFFICIAL] v1.3 - CDMA MoDaCo ROM 1.3
 

what you mean rosie and faster?

Re: 12/15/2009 [UNOFFICIAL] v1.3 - CDMA MoDaCo ROM 1.3
 

He probably meant rosie is faster. ;) This version (if I recall) has had the backgrounds stripped out which saves an additional 5mb or so off of rosie's size. Some people have said they feel it switches between screens faster.

Re: 12/15/2009 [UNOFFICIAL] v1.3 - CDMA MoDaCo ROM 1.3
 

Thanks dude, I'm less confused now. :)

Re: 12/15/2009 [UNOFFICIAL] v1.3 - CDMA MoDaCo ROM 1.3
 

I thought that is what it was called.... but on the main screen scrolling back and forth and scrolling through apps..... im still getting new to the android terms..... browsing the web with yours is faster... and going bwtween screens and apps is faster on the MoDaCo rom

Re: 12/18/2009 [UNOFFICIAL] v1.3 - CDMA MoDaCo ROM 1.3
 

I'm running 1.3 but my weather is not on my home screen and I can't send any picture mail all i keep getting is that the file is too large to send.. But if I use stock Rom it works fine... Any help or suggestions???

I have the modaco 2.2 on my Sprint Hero. The wireless tether worked for about 3 days now when i try to use it a window pops up and says "Sorry!" "THE APPLICATION WIRELESS FOR ROOT USERS (PROCESS ANDROID.TETHER) HAS STOPPED UNEXPECTEDLY. PLEASE TRY AGAIN " ...

I have tried everything restarted the phone, took the battery out... the only way the wirless works again is if I re root my phone again and it does the samething after a few days... Any help please?

Re: 12/18/2009 [UNOFFICIAL] v1.3 - CDMA MoDaCo ROM 1.3
