Here a sneak peek on whats to come :

Changelog for SparksMod-2.0-Full

This rom was made specificly to be used with Rom Manager and Clockworkmod Recovery by Koush

-Apps:

Gapps to rom, but they install seperately from the rom itself to ensure a clean installation. No need to flash more than one thing

Zeam Launcher + Go Launcher, the GB Launcher seemed to be having some memory leaks, feel free it try other launchers from the market if you experience any lag issues over time ;)

Rom Manager. You can use rom manager

Updated apps, android term, GB Keyboard, others, all free apps of course

-OpenGLES

I added a newer version to the rom to increase performance. I found it on this thread: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/working-opengles-1-1-on-htc-hero/

-Wipe System to the rom

I added erase_image to the rom as a tool to wipe only the system partition before installing the rom itself. You will still need to select backup current rom and wipe data and cache with rom manager!

-New Ported boot animation from 144Saint, out new graphics designer :), along with 2 new wallpapers, one of them is the new default wallpaper

-Added Added data/data bind script so your internal storage never goes down ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TuMatos:
looking good cris.

1 question, do we have to wipe ext partition? or will our apps get auto installed after 1st boot?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crisvillani:
2.0 is out...

Ok its out check first and second post , on first boot let it sit for a while, right after setup reboot, after a couple reboots it will be at its top speed :D

Enjoy..

Also for those of you who are wondering about the title, this will probably be Sparksco last rom, he is getting the Htc Evo Shift because his G1 is broken, and not working properly, also I have purchased a Galaxy Tab, so I will still be around but not as much ...

Thanks:D

ROM will still work if I'm not using ROM manager and clockwork recovery correct?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Not sure because the files might be different, but the theme is faster

It'll work either way

Do we still need an ext-3 partition, or this newer version will work without it?

Either way, the changelog looks pretty amazing, great work.

Thanks in advance.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crisvillani:
Ya i believe it is still needed
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tatallor:
Great rom. Very fast and responsive, not to mention the keyboard, which is way better. Sorry to hear about this being the last rom developed for the g1, as it the best I'be ever tested. It's what android should've been like from the start.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lesa0208:
I flash this rom, everything is working properly for now, except that the download from market is realy slow, i setup processor on 614mhz, on linpack i got 3.5 mfplops, while with the 1.6.4 verison on linpack i got 4.7 mflops. And how can i remove animations, and icons, sorry if I'm rude but i really not a fan of that
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fattore22:

crisvillani i try to clear data from market but same slow download.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] priyaradha:
I am been using this ROM since 1.6 and now when I try to flash 2.0 I get this error message when it installs the flash kernel

assert failed: write_raw_image("tmp/boot.img", "boot") E: Error in /sdcard/SparksMod32A-2.0.zip (status 7)

Any help will be great..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Okay, loaded the ROM last night.

Pros:

Fast, once you get everything going and cleaned up.

Stable as always.

Cons:

Theme is gross (no offense other may like it) I'm minimalist type of guy, clean lines, matte stuff. You get the point. I'm going to try and load the themes on the third post after writing this.

Slowwww at first.

Recommendations for everyone:

Switch to your wifi when setting up right away. Download cache cleaner from the market and use that once everything is all downloaded. I personally prefer LauncerPro, but GoLauncher is better than Zeam in my opinion. For better speed tho, LauncherPro is the choice. Also got AutoKiller on for strict preset.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lesa0208:
i have problem with desktop visualizer, can't change icons, I return to 1.6.4.... sorry but this new rom not working properly, my phone have lots of restart, and warming.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crisvillani:
Hey everyone I understand 2.0 has some issues i will try to fix in a new release, it will be a mixture of 1.6.4 and 2.0 , im gonna take my time with this release make sure its great, hopefully some new themes as well, im gonna call it SparksMod 2.0 Remix, if anyone one has any requests for this release please ask :-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ObsoleteSoldier:
Thanks for all your hard work crisvillani!

Thanks for all you hard work and effort put into this ROM. I loaded the new ROM and so far so good. I know I appreciate it!

Keep up the great job dude! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lesa0208:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] castaway1:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fattore22:
Many thanks

:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sny237:
yes, you can change the system font. simply check with Font Changer (root) is good enough!

don't worry about if you need to read chinese (traditional or simplify), it is okay!

the original 2.0 already support chinese coding.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] homerc:
Just installed 2.0 this afternoon and had a play with it.

So far everything works fine and i have not had any forceclose incidence yet. Looks very stable and healthy. Had a play with the new homes Go and Zeam they seem interesting but in terms of smoothness i'd personally prefer LauncherPro.

The major difference i noticed was that the CPU clock has dropped from 614 to 528. The general speed of the rom has hence been lowered quite a bit. I assume this is to extend the battery life? Personally i'd rather have a faster rom but i am sure others would enjoy a longer battery life.

By the way, is there any way i can get the old waving android start up animation on 2.0? i really liked that one it was cute and simple and most importantly less system consumption (which i assume would make start up faster?)

Can't comment on the battery life yet gotta play around for a few days to find out.

Once again thanks for the great work!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] frkaman:
Is 2.0 remix is out? I tried to download but it says that link is not valid...

Ya in 2.0 remix it will be no wipe update , with awesome new theme and a bunch of themed system apps also this update should fix any slow downloads for market, also some more good news, it seems sparksco can't get enough of this rom , so he will be making a 2.1 version. So stay tuned :-)

The op says i need to have the old radio only for this rom, my girl currently has the 2.22.23.02 radio on her htc magic is that the correct old radio or is their an older one?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crisvillani:
No that is a 32b radio I believe, check G1 forum for 32B Sparksmod rom . For this rom you need 32a and 1.33.xxxx radio.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] d12unk13astard:
Ya she has the 32a board and the 1.33.0013 spl but i dunno which radio i need for this rom to work. Is their a list somewhere that shows all of the current 32a radios available. I only know of 2.22.23.02 and the newer radios that are out.

Edit: Nevermind a quick google search and i found this thread which tells me i need the 3.22.20.17.img radio lol

Hi

I'm unable to see my android phone on market.android.com.

I only have one login to google and i have used market recently.

Anyone having same problem as I ? and mayby a solution ?

I've just installed SparksMod32A-2.0

I do not make the kernels, but if you have problems with battery drain then remember to reboot after unplugging from USB.

Hey guys i have 2 general questions.

1.

How do you move apps on sd-ext to the phones internal storage? (whilst keeping the data)

I tried using root manager to manually move the app from sd-ext/app to system/app as well as the dalvik cache on sd-ext, but it didn't work out so well...

2.

When installing a new app, how do i choose where i want it to go?

Thanks guys
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tatallor:
Go to:

Settings->CyanogenMod Settings ->Aplication Settings

Tick "Allow Application Moving" and then select "Install Location" to specify the installation location.

For existing apps, you can go to:

Settings ->Applications -> Manage applications and you can move each app individually.

Under the "No_Wipe Updates(Themes,Kernels)" folder.

I simply downloaded the SparksMod-Stock Theme.zip and flashed it in Clockwork mod.

I'm now back to stock. Yummo!

Installed ADW launcher and it's back to what I'm used to.

Hi there!

I've been using this rom for a few days now and have a few questions.

I still find this rom's performance sluggish and was wondering what I could do to make it better. All I want is my HTC magic to be reliable and relatively fast. I find that things can really slow down and be sluggish when I need them to be quick. For example, when I get calls, I don't get the caller screen straight away. Sometimes I push the answer button and I'm not sure if the phone is working or not. I just had a call before that made my phone reset! Pretty frustrating.

I ditched ADW launcher (which was laggy and FCd quite a bit) for GO launcher EX which seems to be better/faster... but even then when I hit on the drawer icon, GO launcher takes several seconds to draw the icons of all my installed programs! Lag, lag, lag.

I've followed the rom installation instructions here to the letter (fastboot, CM Perfomance settings etc). I'm just wondering if there is anything specific that I need to do to make my phone kind of... usable! :)

Do you think I should start from scratch, hose/superwipe the phone and try reinstalling the rom? The other thing is I do a Titanium backup before I wipe and reinstall my apps. Maybe this is causing the issues and I should just start with a clean slate and download them all again from the market. Not sure if this would help though.

I've wiped caches/dalvik etc, and also fixed permissions. This helped a lot.

I also have been running Set CPU using its "Auto detect"

If there is nothing I can do, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a nice, stable rom. I don't need bells and whistles too much. Just a phone which works OK.

Thanks for all your help, and thanks for the rom. Even with the occasional hassle I've really enjoyed it so far.

Graeme.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tatallor:
Any news regarding a sparksMod 2.1 port to 32A? The 2.0 version I'm on right now is getting a little sluggish.

In another order of business, are there any ROMs with Froyo or Ginger and HTC Sense out there for the 32A?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pintspin:
i have tried every thing but unable to run this rom , every time at after booting , and skipping the setup, a msg comes , setup force closes and then , i can see at the screen only time and singnal bar , nothing else ....... while trying to shut down the phone , i can see the animations and buttons as well , but , its not fully working for me.......

i have tried exactly as mentioned in the first post to wipe through fast boot then delete the hidden folder etc.........

but no luck , this is the most beacutiful rom i have ever seen on HTC magic but bad luck cannt run through on my phone

I gave it another go... I fully wiped everything and then didn't restore apps or data using titanium, effectively a fresh start! So far it has been MUCH better , a good thing really as I had started to bang my head in frustration my Magic was so slow and laggy. Now it is usable and zippy. Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nooty90:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crisvillani:
Its finally here!!!

SO finally after almost 2 months I got my computer up and running again and now i bring you SparksMod 2.3 The Rom That Ask's You Questions...

Sparksco has really outdone himself with this one... i've been running it about 2 days now and its silky smooth :D So if you got the chance please say thanks to him !

Now to the goodies:p

This rom is very different and unique because it is built so that it will ask you questions for various things!

The questions it ask's are :

-Davlik-cache to ext y/n

-Basic A2sd y/n

-Swap or CC ram usage options

-Data/data binds on ext y/n

-An option between two kernels:

Pershoot's latest kernel OC 610

or Ezterry's Oc 610 kernel which is slightly older but runs good and has good battery life..

Also with this release EXT is no longer needed it will detect if you hace EXT4 or not and will base certain things on that... though I still recomend it for the best expierence:D

Once again check the first page for updated instructions ... and check the theme forum for various themes for the rom...;)

AND ENJOY LINK IS UP !!!!!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] haneya:
