Ah ok, now I have a clearer picture of your issue. If you have a computer with adb, then connect your phone and do the following

1) adb shell rm /system/sd/app_s/com.htc.WeatherWidget.*

--If this command says file not found then do the following--

1a) adb shell rm /data/app/com.htc.WeatherWidget.*

**Be aware this will delete the weather widget from your phone. If you want to do a backup of it then do this

1) adb pull /system/sd/app_s/com.htc.WeatherWidget.apk .
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
First, you need to get rid of the widgets. Our G1 phones do NOT have enough RAM to handle all that. Think about it, everything in Linux is loaded into memory as the memory manager in Linux uses all the RAM and then efficiently hands it out as needed. Not like in windows where the kernel uses what it needs and the apps are free to request whatever they want. Anyhow, if you do "adb logcat" from your computer with the phone connected via USB you'll see TONS of low memory warnings which are causing Rosie to crash. It's not the ROM that's buggy it's that the dalvikvm doesn't have any more RAM to assign to Rosie which causes the force closures. Also, when Rosie loads/crashes/reloads it scans through every single widget which takes time and then renders the ones you have on your home screen. This adds time to getting Rosie to launch quickly. Delete any widgets (I'd suggest just about every one of them but maybe twitter or the settings widgets) from your phone. My phone runs awesome with Hero, no crashes.
[G1 Android Development] vicmanf:
Thank you

Great response, I didn't think of that at all!!, quick question, you've stated about deleting widgets, do you mean removing them from the Home screen or deleting them from the phone? if is from the phone how do I do it? wouldn't that affect other apps if I delete them from the phone since some apps are connected to run? Also, I don't use any of twitter, facebock and the other one I cant remember the name!! is there a way to remove those from the phone for good? thank you so much for you response

ive done it manually 2
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
Ive run the enable superuser...script and the herospeedup one as well. Im starting to think it would work better if id just run one of them, maybe ill try lucid's (i dont know how and if they interact with each other)

anyway, if i reflash this rom will it be like a clean slate? Where i can start over with the scripts and other methods of optimizaiton?
[G1 Android Development] mimic1011:
yea i need to do in on the phone, i got lucid's app on the market and ran it then went to the terminal emulator but i dont know if thats all i have to do
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
I think you'd have to wipe and then re-flash, not 100% sure though
[G1 Android Development] tchort:
anyone notice

Not sure if I'm loosing it, but it seems that after changing default wallpaper to another one it seems to run faster.
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
Only way that would make sense if it was a lower resolution, therefore smaller file size, picture. Since Android has to load the wallpaper along with all the widgets you have on your home screen and home screen icons into memory, the less you load into memory the faster the phone will be

Im getting the "read only file" when trying to move app_s.zip from terminal.

Ive run a search in this thread a clicked on every single result, but no dice

I already flashed this rom once with no problems, i dont understand why its a read only file, can anyone help?

I have ubuntu and thought i could just drag it into the partition but i dont have "permission" for that. im going nuts why would this work the first time then not the next? thanks

I wouldnt mind just starting over but i cant get my desktop to delete the partition, i dont know how to in ubuntu...

So i tried typing in the commands a fourth time and it worked, how stupid is that

can some one inform me how to do this to my g1 i dont have anything special on it except uk 1.5 update which i downloaded myself on my us g1 version can some one please tell me how to do all this cool stuff and be up to date with you guys? PLEASEEEE!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] djdeviance:
Well he can have the rom with apps2sd but never really used the apps2sd so the card was never partitioned.

IN NEED!!

hey um everytime i try 2 put the spl it bricks my fone.. Wat else can i do... Is there suttin i shud do suttin..lik shud i use rc 33 or suttin or just rc 29?
[G1 Android Development] jaygajay:
just wanna know and confirm that /system/sd/app_s is symlinked to /system/app? Is this correct?
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
I was very lucky and mine didnt brick so i really dont know. But so many people had the problem that i believe there is a thread or two specifically for it. They are on the first couple of pages in this development forum. I think one's called "lets fix that spl" and the other is "the brick thread" or something to that affect, people there will probably be of more help.
[G1 Android Development] dglowen23:
?

do i have to have root to download this cuz i have no idea how to root my phone i followed the instructions but it didnt work
[G1 Android Development] xOrphenochx:
Second phone, Second try. Got everything working, but I wanted to know since downgrading the radio after updating to this SPL can cause bricking, am I unsafe if I choose to go back to RC29 then Cupcake?

[G1 Android Development] Waleezy:
I seem to be having a small problem though when I get to this step:

Once there on there where gonna open up terminal emulator and type these commands (every line down means enter)

su (superuser permissions will pop up click allow)

busybox cp -a /sdcard/app_s /system/sd

------------------

Once I type in the busybox command, there is an error saying:

cp: cannot create directory '/system/sd/app_s': Read-only file system

I mounted my sd card via usb and right clicked on the app_s folder and de-selected read-only. I then clicked apply. I right clicked to check to make sure read-only is not selected but it remains selected.

My question is, how do I fix this problem? Let me know please. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] Waleezy:
No one has encountered this problem?
[G1 Android Development] jaygajay:
nobody has that problem because they all remount there system partition as read/write...

try this

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
busybox cp -a /sdcard/app_s /system/sd

Most likely anything that outputs from you phone is not about you computer and is most like telling you that that the /system folder/partition is read-only so people dont mess up there phones messing with the system.
[G1 Android Development] Waleezy:
I downloaded Droidsan's Tweak Tools and remouted as read/write..

now when I try to put app_s on the ext2 partition it says:

cp: write error: No space left on device. (several times)

There is plenty of space because the ext2 partition is about 400MB and the total apks are 50MB.

How do I fix this?

Thanks for your help btw.

I'm also having the issue where when I try the command 'busybox cp -a /sdcard/app_s /system/sd' I get 'cp: write error: No space left on device.' When I scroll through history it doesn't show that any files are copied, but if I do an ls on /system/sd/app_s there are files present there.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

try using adb.

I figured it out after 4 days LOL

I finally go the hero rom on here, it took about 4 days becasue what was when i made up my mind to do it. OK 1st u are gonna have to partition the sd card, i am assuming u followed most links in the tread to root the phone, it like u take bits and pieces from everywhere tho.I rooted to rc 29, installed hard spl, then i updated my radio, then i put the new Haykuro spl on it, i wasnt sure if i need the hard one but i did it anyway. I found this post that had the hero beta 4 on it so i ran with that for a day until i got home and came into the mad lab and started reading again. I found the best way i did it was using adb, becasue windows doesnt allow for no-read only files, so i had to use adb. KEY POINTS TO MAKE IT EASY: place the android sdk file directly in teh C drive (rename it andriod), Place the extracted APP_S file in the android folder, so it will ready in the address bar C:\android\app_s or C:\android\app_s\app_s i got both to work i just needed a super large partition on teh ext2 file. Once u have it there go into the prompt and stuff and connect the g1 adb remount, no, first get it to say C:\> by pressing cd c:\ and enter it will give u that. ok then u type cd android\app_s and hit enter it will say c:\android\app_s> then u type adb push app_s /system/sd/app_s the u hit enter and then u wait until the move over wipe and load the hero signed and VIOLA!!!! You guys just dont understand how long i sat here trying to think this through but like i said all the answer are here in the threads becasue everyone got it in there own way like i did and it worked so enjoy. sorry for the long story bookmark the page and try it, it works and enjoy dudes, i used my PS3 to partition the sd card so that works if u got one.

[G1 Android Development] Blue*lable:
Sir you first and always have to type in the terminal emulater su then enter what every you want to right for example

Start the terminal then type su then enter. The money sign should change in a number sign but before a new black window will open is the superuser asking if you would like to processed. Enter allow or deny. That all.

[G1 Android Development] lile325:
not quite the whole ext2 part confused me too so what i did was:

1. use partitioning software to partition the sd card into 2 partitions

1st partition is fat32....2nd partition is ext2

if on a mac use disk utility and download ext2 http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=64713

windows pretty much any partitioning software

^^^^^ be sure you partition your sd card and not hard drive

2. once partitioned place the app_s file in the ext2 portion of the sd card and the rest is pretty much a normal flash

worked 100% for me
[G1 Android Development] menov321:
yeah confused me too only problem is i sat down for 15 hrs straight couldnt do it ...had every mishap imagineable as well. would really love to have it on my phone...heart is willing, brain is not! just wondering if anyone would wanna do a walkthrough of it and break it down to caveman language. it may just be that i struggled to get the app_s onto partition 2...how do you do that part, tried to use adb (if thats right ) BUT COULDNT GET THE computer to see the phone....it saw it on device manger but not on the cmd window.

P.s anyone in kent near gillingham wanna show me how....would be fab...if not ill settle for the walkthrough...lol thnks in advance

Problems with install

I've done all the instructions and everything is working until I try to flash the rom and I get:

"E: Can't chown/mod /system/xbin (not such file or dir)

E: Failure at line 12: set_perm_recursive 0 2000 0755 06755 SYSTEM:xbin

installation aborted."

Any idea? Everything has gone well. It took me some time to get the partition right but the files are on the ext2 partition. I copied them from the regular sd card. I'm excited to see this but its been a couple days of me wanting to take a hammer to this phone. For what its worth its been jusing the HTC rom since they came out.

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] lile325:
lol the app_s part is the hardest ..... ok so we will start from scratch.... do u have the android driver for windows ? if so in device manager does it recognize as HTC android or do you get the question mark next to android phone? if it doesnt recognize in device manager then you have point the android phone to the driver..... after all that in cmd point it to the adb module and it should work
[G1 Android Development] menov321:
thanks lile for your reply am trying it now....recognises it as android...hopefully it will work...sorry for the late reply was in london all day today ....hectic...aaagghh
[G1 Android Development] menov321:
right hope this helps even tho i still havent done it.....

the computer (vista) was recognising it but the driver was just a standard htc android phone one....it needs to be htc android adb phone(emphasis on adb) after that located device easily..

To install the new driver download usbdeview its free and extract and run as adminstrator then it shows all drivers..uninstall all that read htc android, then remove phone and plug back in.... vista then asks for new driver , point it to the android sdk 1.5 usb driver in tools (which can be downloaded from google) wherever it is on your computer...then all is restored

then i pushed the files like norm...started to copy but then stopped because no space left.... now after running (1)adb shell 2)# busybox df -h ) in cmd window

i found out i have no space left on mtdblock3 it says i have 90mb in total but have used it all....

question is how can i free some up. .....

so close lol

[G1 Android Development] menov321:
right i have done it ....the error about no space left on device can be resoloved by updating to hero rom first before pushing app_s to ext2....this will cause g1 to loop at htc screen, plug your phone in , do the cmd e.g adb push ... and all should copy well. i think i have covered a few issues in my further posts for anyone with the usual problems.

Please help !!!

alright so I have no idea how the hell to extract the app_s.zip to the ext2 partition. I have used pp9 to extract and everytime I go back to it I see how I have half FAT32 and the other half is at EXT2. So I know my card (4gb) is partitioned. Where I keep getting stuck at is running ADB. Im now in CMD interface typing in ADB PUSH /SYSTEM/SD/APP_S and so forth and it keep's going back to the same adb help screen. I finally got fed up with trying to extract and went into the card through my computer and extracted the files myself to the sdcard. Everything else is correct, I have the right radio/HardSPL. Ive tried using terminal emulator and it tells me that no directory exist. I really want this ROM
