Right, anyone willing to fund Paul a new Nexus if/when he bricks it tonight?

I wont fund it but if he gets this thing out I certainly donate again, or if he bricked it I would for sure donate 10 bux or so to help him out! Theres gotta be 50 folks who donate a tenner to get him a new nexus if he bricked it.....Right?

[PaulOBrien]

Haha, I think we're a bit ahead of ourselves here, lol!

There is the added complication that the desire system image is too big for the nexus one system partition!

I imagine one solution would be to symlink /system/app to /cache/app, the other would be to use something like squashfs.

I'm running the /system/app on /data at the moment, but i'm going to try out different options.

Can I donate a tenor instead?

I'm a fan of Sense UI from using my HTC Hero, so I'm really looking forward to you getting a workable ROM for us to try

As has been asked, what are the chances of ripping some of the widgets out of the Desire ROM and making them N1 compatible?

[PaulOBrien]

None. Sense widgets = only for sense.

Paul I have just a question for you:

Once you will have released the Rom for the N1, will it take you a lot of time to provide it for HERO users?

I am so excited to get it on my Hero.


Thanks for your answer.

With there not really being enough ROM room on the Nexus One to flash this without modification what's the betting that HTC have mixed up the ROM and RAM specs on their site?

If it doesn't fit on an N1 properly, I would think it would be real hard to get it onto a Hero, no?

A release of ROM with sense UI will convince me to replace my "Ad free" account to a "Modaco Plus" one      

I second that !!!

This is what we're talking about right?

Simply Nice! Great work @Paul!


I can´t wait for release!

[BrumBrum74]

As Paul said in first post here, he wont release this rom until he get a new watermark free dump.

Let's hope he gets a dump of the final rom soon.

I will if I get personal concierge support for my Nexus One needs (Translation: Paul's direct line ha)

There are already roms out there running 2.1 on the hero, I can't see this being that much different, besides, HTC have said the hero family of phones will be getting the latest roms updated officially.

[wooyee]

This is GREAT! thanks for the effort man!
I have a question, I am now being haunted by the touch screen problem, does the Desire Rom have this problem? Hope you'll pay attention to that and let us know  
If the Desire Rom can solve this, then definitely it is software related issue.
Thanks again!

I thought i'd start a topic about loading up the Desire ROM on the Nexus One. I'm sure i'm not the only one that'll be doing it!

Findings so far (updated)...

- If you rebuild the boot image replacing the kernel it runs. I'm running my own custom kernel with himem and bits.
- The system.img doesn't fit on the N1 (!), it's nearly 200MB. I booted by moving some stuff off the system partition.
- The trackball works.
- The 4 bottom keys work.
- The proximity sensor works.
- The LED works.
- The light sensor works.
- The compass and G sensor work.
- The camera works fine and is great with face recognition and touch focus.
- The FM radio loads, but makes no sound / finds no stations it seems. Maybe we need Desire radio ROM?
- The build I have is watermarked - i've removed the obvious visual watermarks but no, you can't have this release - when I get a watermark free drop, yes!
- Flash 10.1 is included and works well.
- It's FAST!

More to follow!

P

Paul please make the FM radio work :-)

[imfloflo]

Hi Paul good job why don't ask others cooker to help you remove all watermarks instead of waiting a new version without them ?

Is it possible to do that?  I recall reading this discussion from Jean-Baptiste Queru whereby he was looking for suggestions to better utilize the /cache partition.  He seemed to suggest the download manager might automatically clear that partition if it needs the space.
