Root alpharev table updates

[Hadron]

Just spotted that alpharev have updated 2 of their tables:

* CM7 r2: 145/5/287
* Oxygen r2: 100/5/332

I'd noticed that recent CM7 nightlies were struggling to fit the CM7 table, so this was on the agenda. The new Oxygen table has shrunk the cache to partially compensate for enlarged system.

GingerVillain will now fit the new CM7 table, but unless something like the 06mountdl script can be made to work with it the small cache will cause problems.

Well spotted!

So, we can guess that the next CM7 version will be larger than 130MB. Flashing a new table will "cost" me 15MB space, if I want to stay with CM. Not a big deal.

Oxygen table seems interesting (30MB space gain for me), if I jump to CM7 Light or a similar tiny ROM.

Anyway, good to know they are keeping the tables up to date.

They've added some features too. Sounds like people using new alpharev hboots won't need goldcards, and hboot won't be replaced by RUU (unless you load a special one that can be).

Not sure of all implications - I don't think I'd want an oxygen hboot to survive an RUU myself. Guess the idea there would be to fix the problem, flash custom recovery and then load a new custom ROM (as discussed in the 1.06 news thread recently).

Is it really CM7 r2? That's one hell of a revision, do they mean CM8?

they should call this 1.9 then

How come the small cache size is a problem for Gingervillain but not for CM7?

 

[Rastaman-FB]

cos the cache2sd script doesnt work with it

The CM7 nightlies barely fit in the CM 7 Hboot. So the next 7.0.4 or whatever it will be wont fit either, so theres a new release of the CM7 Hboot (R2)

Oh ok. I was going to use the CM7 table with GV but I'll go with Bravo Sense instead.

i wish they would make a covert one for people who need to send devices back
like it says "S-ON" even though its S-Off and doesnt ahow alpharev at the top

that would be awesome as it would let you RUU the device to stock and the hboot would look normal (for hardware issues)

just flashed the latest bravo spl

mainly because i had a custom mtd on n1 table and it just felt wrong having a custom mtd over a hboot forced mtd

ive corrected this now as i had an excuse to be bothered
