| I'm pleased to present my MoDaCo Custom ROM for the Samsung i7500!
This ROM is based on the Samsung XXIH8 release, the latest at the time of writing, together with my own optimisations for the best possible performance! I have tried to keep the ROM as 'stock' feeling as possible. My key motivation for creating this ROM was firstly to enable root but secondly to provide a custom kernel with swap support, due to the limited RAM on the Galaxy. Features - Rooted with 'adb remount' permission and superuser APK - Custom kernel based on Samsung source with swap enabled (install 'swapper' from the market, I recommend a SD swap partition), netfilter enabled (working on wifi tether fix), cramfs + squashfs and much much more - Latest build of busybox included with relevant links, also other utils such as sqlite and parted in ROM. - Added terminfo and settings to boot.img - Deleted Maps application - install from the Android Market to always stay up to date - Removed files wasting space in system directory Download link: http://content.modaco.net/i7500/1.1-update...mrom-signed.zip ENSURE YOU DO A NANDROID BACKUP SO YOU CAN 'ROLL BACK' IF REQUIRED! This ROM includes the XXIH8 radio, but I am not 100% sure whether the script is installing it properly (I was already on XXIH8 radio)... any feedback would be appreciated. The ROM is in an update.zip format for installation via the custom recovery image. For the complete newbies, these are the steps you need to take with a 'virgin' i7500: - Download the patched recovery image linked above and install as detailed in that post - Download this custom ROM, and copy it to the '/sdcard' directory on the phone (actually the internal 8GB) - Enter the recovery image (if you're not in it already) by pressing and holding 'Volume Down', then 'Green' then 'Red' - Select 'nandroid backup' from the menu to do a backup - If you copied the custom rom as update.zip, select 'apply sdcard:update.zip', else select the option below. - all done Feedback / feature requests welcome! smile.gif Finally, if you like the MoDaCo Custom ROMs, consider supporting MoDaCo by visiting the subscriptions page and upgrading your account.
