Due to differences between Galaxy and other android phone about internal memory, you MUST use the recovery : [Solo gli utenti registrati al Forum possono vedere i link. ]. Sorry for the inconvenience. Perhaps we can agree on this subject between other rom cookers, for use the same definition of the internal memory (i use "INTERNAL" definition).

BE CARREFULL. This rom doesn't include Google's experience apps. After flashing, use the option "Restore Gapps" in recovery to restore those applications.

New version of GalaxoConf : V2
What's new ? Compcache, vnc, ssh ect can now activated/deactivated without reboot.
How to install it : adb push GalaxoConf.apk /data/app_s/

- Compache auto-configuration support (compcache can be activated in GalaxoConf)
- Full ext4dev support for /data partition (you can convert your /data partition, AFTER flashing, with the recovery. Simply wipe (also with the recovery) to delete all the data on /data and restore ext3 filesystem). Use this option only for testing purpose (don't improve the performances)
- Sshd server running on port 2222, must be activated in GalaxoConf (default password is the EIMEI of the phone. To change the password using adb : adb shell remountrw, adb shell "echo new_password > /system/etc/dropbear/password, adb shell remountro)

Swap :

- Swap is now managed by compcache. If a second partition on external sd card exist, compcache used it automatically as a backup swap. Removed a-swapper because swap in internal memory is perf-killer, and swap on external is better associed with compcache. Be carrefull : swaping is perf-killer if your sdcard was not performant.

Other tweak/improvment :

- Tweaked CPU freq rules, improved responsiveness (sampling can be managed in GalaxoConf)
- Cgroups activated, waiting for Samsung's android source code for using cgroups..

For Hero version :

- EXACTLY THE SAME SYSTEM AS GALAXO
- Hero theme, mixed from XDA's magic/dream themes

Downloading now, many thanks Drakaz (and anyone else who helped with this).

I will look at sending a donation later, I hope we'll see more GalaxHero releases based on newer firmwares and hopefully Android 2.0 in the new year!!

[valin]

Thanks a lot for your work.

[Raithmir]

Just a quick note to say that I've just applied the update.zip over the top of my existing GalaxHero 1.0, without wiping the phone first, and everything appears OK so far!

Edit: You'll also need to restore the g.apps.

Excellent work Drakaz, and you'll find a little donation from me now
