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.

System :

- New rc, with config file support (GalaxoConf)
- 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)
- Script to activate/deactivate the camera button (camenable/camdisable with adb)
- Script to remount in rw/ro the filesystems in both recovery/system (remountro, remountrw). Already exist with adb (adb remount) but usefull in recovery to remount correct partition, and with connectbot.

- Debug tools
- Access phone, contacts, market and other without sim cards (wifi)
- Dynamic dns support (recompilation of inadyn for arm, not tested)

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

Thank you very much for this wonderfuls Roms.

[pegasus21]

I noticed that if the step to restore GApps was skipped, the reboot never finishes. Possible area to fix?

[valin]

I have the same problem than Pegasus21.
