darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1
This is SuperRAM FroYo v1 by darkstone1337 – 12/December/2010
It is an AOSP rom with no crapware added. The only thing that is modified is the keyboard.
Everything should be working, should be fast. Very fast. Very very fast!
What is special about this build is that the entire Android O/S filesystem is stored in RAM before it is booted.
What does this mean? Well, RAM is faster than NAND and SD Card which in turn will make the build superfast too 
The base rom is from AdamG’s Desire OxygeN rom which has been modified by myself.
The initrd is based on that from cedesmith. However, I’ve modified it for my own build.
The HaRet loader is custom made by NetRipper, thanks to him for helping me increase the initial ramdisk size limitation!
The kernel included is hastarin’s r8.5.3 eb_oldcam kernel, this has been modified for my build!
Thanks to everyone at #htc-linux, #htc-linux-chat and at xda-forums for your help, guidance and support!
The first boot will take under a minute, subsequent boots will take much less time.
The build is stock froyo, no sense!

AWESOME!
December 12th, 2010 at 7:17 pm
Too good.. Trying it right away.
December 12th, 2010 at 7:56 pm
this is so fast!
December 12th, 2010 at 8:57 pm
Any chance of a sense build of this?
Thanks for all your hard work btw.

I am having trouble getting this to work. I wiped my SD and when i went to hit haret, it takes about 15-20sec to boot haret, then goes to black screen and nothing happens. Any help?
December 12th, 2010 at 9:52 pm
im having the same problems as pozativenrgy
December 12th, 2010 at 9:55 pm
yes it goes to black screen and nothing happens.same for me
December 12th, 2010 at 10:21 pm
Darkstone this thing works beautiful, welcome back and keep that mind of yours flowing this good. I format my sd card, copy the 3 files open CLRCAD then Haret and magic start to happen my friend. thank you.
Don’t know if it’s to much to ask, but is there a dual boot that won’t mess up your work out there?
Good Day Man!!!
December 12th, 2010 at 11:02 pm

December 13th, 2010 at 1:31 pm
after booting it hangs at “jumping to kernel (custom)…”,
so i wanted to use my old android, but it can’t boot.
don’t know why, but even after task 29 and formatting sd card it wants to boot SuperRam.
December 13th, 2010 at 2:19 pm

Amazing but we really need 1 with htc sense !
December 13th, 2010 at 8:44 pm
Great build. First boot up was quick. Normal usage after that is super quick!!! the only issue I have is it wont read my sim contacts. Wimo reads fine when I boot into that (and previous android was fine as well).
On this build I just get the message “you dont have any contacts to display”

December 14th, 2010 at 5:49 pm
Hey, this is an amazing build
i don’t really know where to report this, but i think its a bug.
When in the camera app, everytime i click the little settings icon, the camera force closes. have tried this mutlitple times, clean install and reboots and still the same problem. can anyone else confirm this?
thanks.
apart form that, very very very fast boot up and a stable build 10/10!!
December 14th, 2010 at 8:45 pm
This is not working for me, any help? Reboots a few seconds after the HTC logo!
December 14th, 2010 at 11:27 pm
Awesome man Too Fast lol…
December 15th, 2010 at 12:55 am
Awesome!!!! Lightning fast!!! I love this! Also camera has better colors than before. Camera settings dont work though…. Great Work!
December 15th, 2010 at 4:38 pm
Hi, great work! Now i use this buld has every day use,but two times i have robot voices and needed to restart my leo…any ideas?
Thanks and keep the good work.
P.S.Sorry bad english
December 15th, 2010 at 8:10 pm
Besides Camera Advanced settings i only have issue with battery in this build. I dont have these issue in other builds. I run MDJ_FroYo_HD_v._4.1_MDJ_S7.3HD for daily use… Only issue in MDJ is performance – i experience 70 – 80 % of normal performance.
December 16th, 2010 at 8:20 am
Im having the problem of after haret loads it jumps to kernel then shows htc logo and restarts the phone
December 16th, 2010 at 1:22 pm
@brandon: rename haret-pre-0.5.3-20101210_203955-INDEX_15 to “haret” only to boot.
@Darkstone: fast build, but storage option doesn’t work.
I wonder if anyone else had same problem.
December 16th, 2010 at 3:29 pm
I still have robot voices…somebody could please help me?
Thanks in advance
December 17th, 2010 at 3:20 am
@khoa: i tried what you said and still the same results T.Y tho
December 17th, 2010 at 3:43 am
@Brandon: Have you try to format the SD from mobile 6.5. Then transfer the file to the SD using cable. Then rename the haret file ? If you had. I had no clue

Lightning speed any chance to have sense with this speed…???
December 20th, 2010 at 2:59 pm
it´s very very very very very fast, and stable i like it,and less battery
December 20th, 2010 at 5:56 pm
“Well, RAM is faster than NAND and SD Card which in turn will make the build superfast too”
It’s TRUE but RAM has higher power consumption! The battery will drain too fast!!!!!
December 22nd, 2010 at 9:54 am
Hi!
Must say this is the fastest i’ve ever tried.
I’m a sense junky and are just wondering when we can see a Sense super ROM version?
ToddeSwe
December 22nd, 2010 at 6:05 pm
this rom is freaking awesomeeeeeeeee, super fast, super stable, super everything. the only thing I dont like is that it doesn’t have a full keyboard like the keyboard that windows has. but I’m happy with the rom.
December 22nd, 2010 at 9:17 pm
Yes please to a sense rom!
December 23rd, 2010 at 7:58 pm
I’ve tested this for one day. Earlier i had the froyo sense v3 rom on my sd card and the battery lasted barely one day. Today I’ve been using my phone for 12½h with still 60% battery-life left. And my power consumption looks like this:
Screen:37% (1h5min), Voice Calls:34%(26min), Sleep 11%, Phone not active 10%, Android-system 4% and Browser 2%.
I have been calling about 30min, sending and receiving maybe 10 texts, browsing the internet about 30min using 3G and watching some YouTube videos maybe 10min. With the old rom my battery would have been empty with this kind of usage.
So to all of you that say this will drain your battery, you’re wrong. And to the creator a big thank you and merry merry christmas
December 26th, 2010 at 8:51 am
Robot voice!!! Please help me!
Thanks
December 26th, 2010 at 9:50 pm
great rom!!
but the volume is too low i cant hear it when someone calls or when i play music??
December 27th, 2010 at 4:20 pm
faifa : robot voice , first time ,when incoming call u click loudspeaker then End call !!! I think it probably fix the robot voice
December 28th, 2010 at 1:33 pm
Im so pleased that you sorted the keyboard! if it worked it would be the only goot thing about WM 6.5…
December 30th, 2010 at 8:50 pm
I’m having an issue with the languages.
When I send a SMS over a certain number of characters (in English), the recipient gets only Japanese.
Very few sources address this problem on the web, and none work. Can you help?
December 30th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
hi DarkStone I’m a big fan of your builds and this one is awesome, but I have a question, is there a way to port the
WM 6.5 keyboard over the this rom?

Thanks a lot guys, that was very helpful.
January 10th, 2011 at 4:55 am
my only problem with this build is that for some reason the internet still cuts out randomly. i was using the older Darkstone V2 build and then moved to this one and everything works great. video/camera, its fast, boots quick…everything is great. the only issue is the data connection drops.
i can be looking at facebook and then goto twitter and it will stop running and i have to goto airplane mode and then turn it off to get the data connection back. is there a fix for this? i know in other builds it said to try another kernel and then to update some files which i had done previously but still same issue…
any suggestions?
January 10th, 2011 at 12:04 pm
Great build! I’m very happy with the keyboard!
One problem… After using this build for 2 days I’ve got an error: ‘process com.android.phone has quit’.
I restarted my phone for several times, but the error still exist.
Can someone help me to solve te problem?

…take a pic in android mode then place all your saved pics in the camera folder on the sd card ….thanks man
January 25th, 2011 at 5:18 am
in order for it to read your sd card you have to
hook your sd card up to the computer
then right click and go down to format
make sure you check off the quick format
format all instead of quick format
then extract those three files to your sd card
note… when you format all theres nothing on sd card nothing!!!then turn off your device power it back on insert sd card go to file search then locate storage card click on the android folder then
click on clrcad.exe then haret..then its only 10secs then it will boot
January 25th, 2011 at 5:20 am
and my internet works great i had to reboot device 2wice before it worked really good tho….just follow simple instructions above or go to settings and turn off data then turn it back on that should fix your problem

Everything’s ok, but:
- USB storage doesn’t work
- GPS doesn’t work either (and this one’s really sad, ’cause I counted much on a working GPS…)

Hi.
Is it possible to donate to you somehow, mate? If so; how and where?
And are you planning to keep making builds for the HD2 in the future? When 2.3 comes out maybe?
Anyways; thank you for saving me/us from windows mobile…
