This is a port of JACxROM from the dream/g1. It's based on the stable android 1.5/cupcake AOSP from the master branch and 1.5r4 now includes some donut code as well. All resolutions should work with this build. It includes some htc frameworks and apps as well as the htc keyboard. Java is included in this build as well as exchange work email. It has a nice hero like theme done by manup. There are several hero like widgets included such as a flip style weather clock and several toggle switches. I've also included Loccy's Better Browser which is an enhanced version of the standard opensource android browser.The origional JACxROM1.X can be found in the dream forums.
JACxROM1.4r3 Vogue/Kaiser
Download: xROM1.4r3 from vogue-android
This is the android 1.5 AOSP version with the hero themed launcher. Use it with the standard basefiles package at vogue-android.
JACxROM1.5r4c Beta for Vogue/Kaiser:
Download: xROM 1.5r4c bundle. from vogue-hero experimental page. You must use the latest basefiles. I've included Java in this build and the Biz Card Reader from hero. It also includes all the other htc apps in the last xROM including the htc music app. It's using Loccy's Better Browser with double tap zoom and Stericson's lock screen. It also has the Meltus v7 audio hack and the standard pre like xROM Advanced launcher which is themed by overground and maintained by irrenhaus and ported from rogro82's original Launcher.apk.
All credits for the original xROM go to just another crowd(jac), manup456, cyanogen, loccy, overground, irrenhaus and rogo82 from the dream forums.
Good job, Zanulator. It's a very nice theme! But I found one problem on the polaris: The headset icon is always displayed, but I never connected the headphone to the phone (it doesn't work yet on the polaris). Do you know how to solve this?
Thanks!!

The headphone icon is just there. It's not a bug it's an unusable feature .
Very nice - works well. Great idea splitting the threads for the diff builds.
I use xROM more than hero now. Until the next hero update comes or someone puts out a better themed cupcake/ion/donut I'll be using this.

Yea xROM2 was really JACxROM1.3 it was just the second version that I ported to the vogue thats the reason I called it xROM2. They updated to JACMANxROM1.4r3 so I just used the regular version numbers for this one to avoid confusion in the future.
Should it work on the Kaiser?
Because I can't get Wi-Fi nor the modem to connect, could you possibly put this system.img in a bundle with the other files you think should work best? I love the responsiveness of it otherwise, seems much faster and less crash prone than the hero builds.

I didn't add the wifi pieces in this build. I'll post one later on in a bundle.
Dude just installed, everything is awsome, except my lock screen is mirrored lol, I dunno how that happened, but it is like looking throught a piece of glass and everything is backward.
Everything else looks amazing though, thank you.

did you use a fresh data.img? i accidentally booted xrom with the data.img from cyanogenmod and everything was weird kinda cool but not quite right.
New XRom is great thanks Zenulator, only thing is that that weird headphone icon is in the taskbar, lol, i know that wasnt in the last XRom release so i'm guessing you somehow fixed it before?
this is a great build man, no crashes so far. zen, is there any way to make the "in call" volume louder when on a phone call? that's the only real annoying thing about our android builds. im shocked no one has fixed this or attempted to hack the audiopara. the rest of my volumes are very loud.
Hey zenulator, great work as always. A couple of things.
1. I know your stance on the camera program and it not working in your builds. However, for a daily use build, I think it is essential. I know that fxcamera works, but a) it takes two clicks to get to the camera, and b) the resolution is not that great. mssmison had the regular camera working in his hero themed ion, which seems very similar to this build in a lot of ways, I don't know if it would be compatible. I did try bringing the camera app over from one of the other builds, but I could not install it on this rom (and yes, I have "unknown sources" checked under applications).
2. no album - also essential, and yes we can get an album program from other places, but I think having all the basics on board on a daily use build like this should be standard.
Thanks again zen.

what do you mean by album? i can see all of my photos on my sd card? for the camera use pro paint camera, works great!
i figured this was a themed cupcake build and not a true hero rom.
is it true that using android the way we do will eventually ruin our sd cards? i could of swore i read that somewhere before? if it's true i probably won't use it much as i have alot of other important info on my card.

yes, themed cupcake build. yes, you can see all pics on your sd card, just need an album program (most builds there is one installed by default name Album or Gallery).

I have this headphone icon to. And I can't get a network connection? The modem app says i'm connected, but I can't login to google, can't download something from market.
Anyone else with this issue?
Edit: I did start with a fresh data file.
i was running desire hd 3.4 for the last couple of days but today i decided to switch to froyo sense 2.4.2 because the camera is working on that build.
now i would like to know if it's possible to get a updated sense on that build. there are some nice features missing. like the preview of themes, a lot of themes, background pictures and especially some nice widgets and the feature to see all htc wigets in one place.
especially i am looking for the data-connection and settings widget which comes in bar-style (setting, wifi, mobile-data, sync, bt, etc.). is it possible to get it somewhere? it was pretty convenient compared to the single button widgets i found on the market.
thx a lot!
u cant. HTC sense is complicated. u either have it or u dont. at least for now...
that's sad. does anybody have a suggestion for a bar-like-settings-widget. sorry for my english.
I know what you are talking about. There are a few out there. Try "extended controls" in the market. It's also built into CM 6.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
try launcherProPlus widgets
thanks for your suggestions. i'll give those widgets a shot.

Have you tried the "Power control" widget? I do use LauncherPro, but I don't think it's specific to that.
Go to the market and search for "SwitchPro". It's awesome, and you can customise the appearance, actions, and number of buttons. Easily better than the power widget included with froyo.
How can i get this application (soved.eu/Torch.apk) to work on Android 2.1 (Rooted)?? It's CyanogenMod's Torch app.
I think you may try downloading a different one from the Market.

I can't find a app like that in the market. Otherwise i would'nt ask for it. But thanks anyway
doesn't the stock rom have a torch app that's pretty much the same? but anyways if you're rooted, there are quite a few torch apps that use the phone's led.
Yes, the stock rom does have an Torch application, but with the CyanogenMod's Torch's application the flash light is almost 4 time's brighter.
try tesla LED.
You will see the difference
Thanks!!! This is a really great alternative
What I'd like to see a dev do is take the android source and one of the kernels (ScaryKernel stable preferably) and develop a ROM from the ground up.
Call waiting does not work properly in CM7 or another AOSP based ROM I tried.
GPS has problems fixing in that ROM as well. I believe Sense based ROM users don't have this problem.
What would be really cool is having a nice 2.3.5 ROM with ScaryStable kernel, Android 2.3.5, some, not all of the tweaks from CM7, apps included that are actually useful such as antutu benchmark, kernel manager, rom manager, super user, terminal emulator, speedtest.net, wifi analyzer, gps status, fasterfix stuff like that, HTC GPS drivers, and being able to update profile, and prl and being able to get to the ##code# menus from the dialer (basically need the HTC dialer for this I'm guessing which would also fix call waiting). That would be like the ultimate ROM in my opinion.
Thoughts? And yes, I'm actually thinking about taking this on as my own project if I have to even though I can't program to save my life.
What's a matter with call waiting on ASOP? I've never noticed anything messed up or anything different.....I have predominatly have had cm7 but also ran shiftdeck for awhile and call waiting has worked fine I believe....
I have read others having problems getting gps to get a fix but have never experienced the problem myself.....I know the solution has been to flash sense get a lock n then flash asop and from what I read gps is fixed after that....

Tap manage calls in CM7, tell me what happens.
As for GPS, I found a combination of resetting the GPS and downloading GPS assistance data with GPS status, and using faster fix and setting the proper ntp server while having wireless assistance on helps for a while. I'm still investigating exactly what needs to be done for GPS to to work properly.
I can honestly say I have never had a single problem with GPS on any cyanogen build but i never shut my GPS off I don't even know why It's on maybe for the weather so maybe that info could help someone maybe get a lock right before flashing and leaving GPS on might work but AOSP is fast has no bloat and is very customizable but I am a Sense guy so:
I think a Rom I would be 100% happy with as an all time Rom for right now it would have to be a Sense 3.0 Rom because I absolutely love it, with the HDR and panorama effects added to the camera, overclocked to 1.2 Ghz with a very light theme maybe like Rosie, status bar with no clock and notification area to be semi-trans black with white font a themed HTC_IME and dialer and a custom Glock LockRing that's all

The real question is how does your GPS work with wireless assistance turned off?
And Sense 3.0 is beautiful (mainly talking about the weather themed lock screen with the shortcuts) but I hate the way Sense 2 and 3 manage contacts and it's way too facebook integrated in general which is annoying.

I wouldn't know I don't use my GPS often and I leave it on the default settings and never have a problem even if I'm not on WiFi every time I have needed it, It's been solid and it don't kill my battery at all I get great battery life

I have to disagree. I love sense bc it has Facebook integration. I like how I set my contacts to their respective profile on my touch pro 2 with wm 6.5 synced with Google and never had to worry about it again. It puts a pic to your contacts and gives u a bday entry which is nice imo.
Now my gps sucks, I have to wait 5-10 mins to get a lock outside or in the car. And sense 2.3 doesn't have kernel source so its limited to the stock kernel.
My dream Rom is MikG, with x99 kernel. I used to love that kernel on 2.2
Sent from your Mom's Jitterbug
My dream Rom would be MikG With x99 or V8 kernel, AND Firerats due to that sucker helps save a lot of space.
My "dream" ROM on the Shift would have to be full blown Sense 3.0 with it running perfectly smooth WITHOUT overclocking. I would want the kernel for sbc and UV. And I would want google + integration added along with FB and twitter.
(Guess thats why its called a dream ROM )

Yeah full Sense 3 with no oc running that great is prolly extremely hard to do, I'm on a constant uphill battle with what I got going you know
Sent from my Supreme Shift using XDA Premium
To start out, it would look a LOT like CM7. Same launcher, same extras. NO Sense UI.
(for the record, I know that most of this is available, it just means installing a number of extra packages)
Add in all the google
T9 predictive input for the dialer
A nicer looking messaging app that doesn't fail every time you try to send a text longer than 1 message.
A few of the nice sound options from Sense UI, including having the ringer volume automatically reduce when the phone is picked up, automatically switching to speakerphone when you set the phone face-down during a call, and double-tapping the home key to see all your launcher pages at once.

1. Gmail, Voice, Talk, Maps, Latitude (yes, I know it's bad for battery AND privacy, but it's fun and I don't plan on committing crimes, cheating on my wife, lieing to my boss or ever being worth enough money to kidnap; so I don't care if people know where I am.), Navigation, and of course, Market.
2. I haven't made any changes to the built in messaging app of any kind, but I'm also running the latest nightly. Doesn't matter too much, since I've installed GoSMSpro.
3. Yes, I'm well aware that many of those features kill the battery. That's why I like CM7, and only want a small handful of the highly useful features from Sense.
well no matter which rom i try, i always end up installing launcher 7, so to have that already integrated would be nice for the drawer, and a rom that lets you use the volume bottoms to skip tracks in your music player ,
