A Beta of MoDaCo Custom ROM 1.8 for the Pulse is now available to MoDaCo Ad Free or MoDaCo Plus members!

The download is in the usual update ZIP format, but deployed via the online kitchen to give you the ROM YOU want. I have merged the creation of the T-Mobile Style and U8230 Style ROMs into one kitchen now.

See the post below for changes since 1.7. Enjoy!

Paul would I need to wipe upgrading from 1.7?

Thanks again for the kitchen and new ROM!

[meinnit]

Nice one Paul

[PaulOBrien]

No need to wipe... as usual, Nandroid backup first...

[Jason Patel]

Can someone tell me what the Servo Search app does?  I have done a search and cant find an answer.

Also to confirm what Jbed Java midlet does?  Does this let me run Java through the browser or is it required for some apps?

Thanks for answering my quesion.

Will e2fsck be included at some stage in 1.8?
That would definitely be appreciated.

Thanks for the great job.. there is just one thing missing to have a perfect ROM: tethering!
No progress in compiling the netfilter into the kernel?

Baked a ROM with just the items below ticked  

Core (U8230 Vanilla Style)
Google Maps
QuickBoot
Notepad

Once installed and booted up i reboot again to remove the French language on widget menu then when rebooted i cant get into contacts, it says stopped unexpectedly

Works fine using Core (T-Mobile Style)

That looks great, Paul. I'll get a membership to try this.

I notice that RoadSync has moved from /system to /data. Does it mean there is more free space on the /system partition?
I tried to install the rsync executable on 1.7 but there wasn't enough space.

And what is the crash-prone Servo Search for?

[PaulOBrien]

In MCR, /data/xbin is in the path, so you could also put rsync there...

Sounds good, does anyone have a compatible compiled binary for Rsync that I could have?
