KaguDroid 1.3

The information from the developer of this Rom is listed below and can also be found here
 

This rom REQUIRES an ext partition on your sdcard or it will bootloop, you have been warned


v.1.3 - 26/02/2010
* unsecured boot.img for now
* New app2sd concept *Chrys Soyars*
* Camera Gallery face recognizing
* Native OpenVPN (configure throught setting menu) *cyanogen*
* Updated Wysie's contacts
* Many bugfixes from AOSP, Koush, bcrook, cyanogen, others
* Rebuilt the whole thing with potentially better CFLAGS
* More stuff....

This Rom is built from Android 2.1_r2 cyanogen sources (sdk7), with my own customizations that make it the KaguDroid Rom. I find it really stable and, at least for me, it is usable everyday. And many more really great things will come in next versions!

It now has a new app2sd concept discussed on xda nexus forum and implemented by Chrys Soyars. Basically, it allows you choose where to install apps: on sdcard or on data partition.

Advice: do a nandroid backup before updating

Current release: 1.3 [download]
JIT Enabled: [download] (very fast but very experimental)

Google bits ERE36B [Gapps-hero-ERE36B-signed.zip] [Rapidshare] [Megaupload]

Fresh install
1) wipe
2) flash the rom
3) flash the google bits
4) reboot

Updating from 1.1 or prior

Note: Google apps are automatically backed up and restored

1) disable apps2sd if enabled and reboot
2) make sure GoogleBits are up2date
3) flash the rom
4) reboot

What does not works:
- Camera at 5mp: do no try it, it will freeze the camera service then reboot is needed.
- Camera: after a couple of photos, the camera app force close.
- AD2P calls: no sound
- Gallery3D graphics get 'messed up' if you switch orientation.
- Live wallpaper are not all playing (we miss OpenGl ES Lite 1.)
- Exchange sync problems with some servers configuration
- All feature that need a custom kernel are not working (usb-tether, compcache)
- Some Youtube vid?os are displaying only the first frame
- Some mp4 videos have no image

HOW TO REPORT BUGS OR PROBLEMS?
- Read this
- Was it a hard reboot? Get me the file "/proc/last_kmsg".
- Was it a soft reboot or a "boot loop"? Run "adb logcat" and get me the full output.
- Pastebin links preferred
- Please use the issue tracker whenever possible!

Please consider making a donation, I really need a new motherboard/cpu to work faster. Thanks in advance.

Thanks to Cyanogen for his great work at keeping a source tree up2date, to Jnwhiteh, especially for his two small fixes to have 2.1 functional, to Kiall, to Chrys Soyars, to all donators for buying me a Hero for dev.
