CyanogenMod-5-wocould you like a pony? (Experimental) [05/08-v5.0.7-test3]

After a bunch of hard work from a lot of people, I'm happy to present the first fully-functional eclair (Android 2.1) system available for the HTC Dream and HTC magic!

There is some new ground being broken here, and a few bugs to still shake out but I believe that it shoshould be pretty stable as a daily driver.

It's important to know that"Dangerspl"(Or deathspl or haykuro's SPL or whatever you prefer) is a prerequisite for dream/G1 users. magic (mt3g etc) users do * not * need to do this. ciwrl has written a guide to installing this bootloader. flashing this bootloader under the wrong conditions can actually Brick your device, so pay attention to the Guide. CM releases have always avoided this requirement, but the new bootloader frees up enough space so that no crazy hacks are required for a fully functional system, and it's easier to keep in sync with the N1/droid releases.

What's not supported ded that you 'd find on a Nexus One:
* Launcher2 (too clunky for these devices)
* Stock live wallpapers (lwp support is there, but may not work with all lwp apps and/or performance may be bad)
* Facebook (install from the market, contact sync works perfect on sapphire)
* Google Voice (install from market, push your y works perfect)

What's wrong ded:
* Everything that goes with eclair
* 3D, video, camera, camcorder, BT, WiFi, etc are all of course working

Cyanogenmod extras:
* Can be used with or without Google applications
* Kernel 2.6.33.3 with tethering support, compcache, VPN/TUN, and other modules (CIFS, NFS, aufs, fuse)
* New ipv2sd method implemented mostly by Chris soyars.
* Built in USB her
* Graphical enhancements, # boobs, and excellent wallpapers by prash and satanr1
* Includes busybox, htop, Nano, powertop, openvpn, Bash, irssi, and all engineering CommandLine utilities
* FLAC audio support from Kenny Root
* Phone enhancements from cytown
* Contacts enhancements from wysie
* MMS enhancements from, well, everyone (see changelog)
* Perform zipalign-on-install of applications
* Define clock tweaks-longer autosilence and "require unlock" option
* Massive APN list
* All available locales are encoded thanks to psychoi3oy
* 360-degree auto-orientation by optedoblivion and elanthis (enable in settings)
* Openvpn integration thanks to James Bottomley
* Music app can respond to long-Press on the volume buttons (from metalhead)
* Export other bugfixes and tweaks from aosp contributors
* Tons of work on the build system by koush and Chris soyars
* Huge thanks to zenders for tracking down some really nasty kernel bugs
*See the full changelog for all credits and details

A few known issues;
* Camera zoom doesn' t work yet, and the preview displayed after taking the picture is garbled. The actual picture is taken fine, though.
* Layout of the pattern-lock and no-sim screens need adjustment

Thank you to everyone involved in helping with testing, coding, debugging and documenting! Enjoy!
