22/Jan 1.8 Beta 2 - MoDaCo Custom ROM with online kitchen - LIMITED BETA

[Guest Paul]

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!

[Guest meinnit]

Nice one Paul :)

[Guest Paul]

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

[Guest 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.

So you paid the £10 or the £30 membership?

[Guest david_dawkins]

So you paid the £10 or the £30 membership?

He says "Ad[d]-free", so that's £10.00

[Guest flip360]

yep :)

[Guest phucte]

Paul could you also add 2.0 /2.1 app icons into the Online kitchen

:)

[Guest Paul]

phucte, yep, will do!

[Guest jmmL]

Will e2fsck be included at some stage in 1.8?

That would definitely be appreciated.

[Guest trifid]

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?

[Guest stupidm4n]

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?

[Guest Paul]

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?

[Guest z0s0]

Will definitely signup for the adfee / ROM once it tethers ;-) Keep having to swap my sim into my other phone for tethering, driving me nuts ;-)

[Guest Jasio_m]

I think the rsync binary I used came from here:

http://adqmisc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/an...inux-gnueabi.gz

It works well. Now I just need to find the best way to sync both ways.

Unison would be much better for two-way sync if I could use sshfs to mount the Pulse's filesystem. But I haven't found an sftp-server binary. Dropbear works with the sftp-server from openssh.

Oh awesome, thanks again :)

Does it matter if I add the ext partition before or after installing the ROM?
