i got this from somewhere.. this isnt my method.

sdcard reader is highly needed..

format the FAT32/ext2 of the sdcard..

Copy the app_s.zip to your root sd card.

while ur phone is booted up on the "G1" sign

plug ur phone to the PC while its on the G1 sign and open command prompt and type the following script

it will take awhile for u get it right but it works. took me awhile too.

adb shell

su

cp /sdcard/app_s.zip /system/sd

cd /system/sd

unzip app_s.zip

reboot

keep tryin til it u get it right..
[G1 Android Development] luismicro:
Ok, I had the same problem you have until I noticed that when I did adb push app_s /system/sd/app_s it created 2 folders in system/sd like this /system/sd/app_s/app_s, so i decided to do it like this: adb push app_s /system/sd/ and it finally worked. I hope this helps
[G1 Android Development] dbhatesyou:
this is what ive been doing, though you can have it plugged in at anytime, once the power's on you should be able to adb shell. basically you wipe, then flash the rom, while rebooting you'll boot loop, go ahead and adb shell, then do the commands qouted above, and while its still boot looping, once it reboots on its own, it will hang for a bit, (open ddms.bat while you're phones plugged in from the sdk's tools. you'll see what the phones doing, ) then it should boot fine..
[G1 Android Development] dbhatesyou:
its not that entirely difficult.

Omgggggggg.... I am going to go crazy... I've tried for two straight days... I don't know what to do with life anymore :P I've been using just another crowds version but I want the real version!! I have only 10 mb to do things with it. AHHHH!!!
[G1 Android Development] djdeviance:
So I played with it for roughly about 24 hours. The ROM in itself is magnificent to look at. The speed of the ROM even overclocked is hard to get used to. So for the time being I will be dropping down to Dude1.2b until I can figure out how to at least operate smoother with all the widgets I want on screen. I was getting tired of the Rosie force close or wait pop up. -_-"

Wiping my phone solved most of the problems :D
[G1 Android Development] arinpsycho:
Bro...I just do wipe again and it turns back into original state. Even if u reflash again without the wipe will not work. Just wipe it and it will do fine
[G1 Android Development] dbhatesyou:
for anyone complaining about the first boot , what the phone is doing on that first boot is checking the systems internals making dex files and everything it needs to run properly. its nothing to complain about really.
[G1 Android Development] seaboardtech:
what is erm audio hack?
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
well i ran the sdsplit tutorial and afterward my internal memory was over 400mb. I thought this would mean that i had my card partitioned at that point but i end up in boot loop. i dont know if i didnt set up app2sd properly or if i didnt flash the rom properly...
[G1 Android Development] harryr91:
Okay, after staying up till 3 am trying to figure this crap out, I FINALLY GOT IT. I've read this multiple times, and I seem to be having the same problem, as a LOT. I keep getting a frozen screen after the HTC bootup screen. Here is what I did. I dont know if its the best cause I didnt really do the whole apps 2 sd. but here.

1. Format and partition your SD card.

2. Drag update.zip (HERO ROM) and app_s (unzipped FOLDER) onto your root of your SD card. (The root is the highest location, so your not in ANY FOLDERS.

3. Plug in your SD, and WIPE YOUR DEVICE then Install update.

4. This time I got a bootloop (its cool) let it run, and boot up adb

5. This is what I typed. P.S. I send the app_s folder to multiple locations cause I havent, and am not sure why it didnt work the first time.

I first typed

adb shell

su

cp /sdcard/app_s /system/sd

THEN i exited adb shell and went to the location of app_s on my pc.

cd C:/Android

adb push app_s /system/sd/app_s

adb push app_s /system/sd

***NOW I DID NOT REBOOT***

The BOOTLOOP continued.....and it eventually went to the set-up screen.

I didn't notice the time it took, but I would say around 5-10 minutes cause I wasn't paying attention.

Hope it helps. :)
[G1 Android Development] tiger2kn5:
been fallowing the movement here for a while and though I would contribute a little as to what worked for me.

You don't really need to have Apps2SD working, but you do need to have the ext2 partition for this to work. DISCLAIMER: I don't guarantee that this method will work for everyone but it is certainly working for me.

I booted up a live version of Ubuntu, formatted my SD card with the 2 partitions as indicated by the tutorial. Since I was already booted into Ubuntu I downloaded the app_s.zip file and extracted it in the ext2 partition, which shows up as a removable disk in your Ubuntu desktop.

I then booted up back to windows vista. and downloaded the ROM and renamed it to update.zip... you know the drill.

before installing the ROM however you should mount the ext2 partitioned to /system/sd ... if you don't know how to manually mount the partitioned just follow the apps2sd tutorial where it says to put the 2 files attached in the indicated location and reboot. (sorry for been vague but the link to the tutorial has been given here several times so I didn't wanted to repeat it)

----

I believe that this ROM just needs to find /system/sd/app_s in the ext2 partition because my apps from the market are still installing in the very limited space left I have on the phone storage, which means my apps2sd is not properly configured but yet the ROM still read the system apps from the ext2 partition.

NOTE: I installed this ROM on 3 phones already, (mines and 2 friends) and in one of my friend's phone GParted had trouble creating the partitions, and this is the solution I found, incase some are having problems with this step:

Boot up Ubuntu to use Gparted, or a stand alone live version of Gparted.

Use gparted to create the two partitions, for me gparted would create the empty partitions but would give me errors when i try to format them to fat32 and ext2, so I left them as "unformatted space" for the time being.

With both partitions sized to the desire size (but not formatted) boot back to windows and use computer management in control panel to format the first partition to fat32.

Boot back to ubuntu or gparted live, and now gparted should allow you to format the other partition to ext2 without the errors.

If you use ubuntu for the last step then i suggest extracting the app_s file to the ext2 partition now before going back to windows since windows does not recognize ext2 partitions. Plus, it is much easier to drag and drop than to use ADB commands.

Hope that is useful for someone. :)
[G1 Android Development] KyleK29:
Is Rosie really that slow? Here's hoping that someone picks up production (if Haykuro doesn't continue) and can try to get it working faster.

I haven't taken the plung to this ROM. I don't like flashing/reflashing.
[G1 Android Development] ramkt8:
Ok.. This is what you have to do.

Step 1 : Your Phone Should be Rooted

Step 2 : You need to have two partitions... Fat32 and Ext2

Step 3 : Make Sure u have the lastest Radio from http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/

Step 4 : Update the latest SPL by Haykuro from http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/

Step 5 : Download the Hero ROM and rename is update.zip

Step 6 : Download app_s zip file

Step 7 : copy update.zip and app_s.zip to root folder on SD CARD(in the FAT PARTITION)

STEP 8 : open terminal emulator in ur phone and type

su

cp /sdcard/app_s.zip /system/sd

cd /system/sd

unzip app_s.zip

reboot

if it worked good.. u should just get a promp key.. nothing else

Step 9 : boot into recovery boot screen( HOLD power+home button)

Step 10 : ALT + S on your phone

Step 11 : get the Hero Speed up 1.8 or latest version and run the auto script file from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=521421

step 12 : SHOULD WORK like a charm

P.S .... when you are installing the rom. if you get a xbin error.. that means u have not installed the SPL properly.. so reinstall the SPL and then install the ROM again

For everyone who is getting a black screen after HTC logo and having the process dying.

Please do the following after connecting the phone with your computer:

adb shell

cd system/app

ls

(this should return all the apps)

If 'ls' only returns another folder, i.e. app_s

Then this means you didn't copy the files properly.

Don't worry you can still fix this by doing the following (don't type my comments from the brackets):

pwd

(this should return /system/sd/app_s)

cd app_s

pwd

(this should return /system/sd/app_s/app_s)

mv * /system/sd/app_s/

cd ..

rmdir app_s

pwd

(this should return /system/sd/app_s)

ls

(this should return list of all apps)

Your phone should start after this.

I just wanted to say, thank you very much for this Rom, Haykuro, I absolutely love it. You are the man, Haykuro.

BTW, as much as I like the full-screen browser, is there any other way to zoom in and out apart from the double tap, because if there is, I sure as hell can't find it. Also, does the flash player work?

in need of serious help

Hi guys yes im a noobie and i have been following the hero movement for a few weeks now. I know you guys say do ur reasearch and trust me I have. I got my sd card split and partitioned and i was folling the tutorials for haykuros build. when i got to the step where I put the radio file on it wouldn't take the update. when i hit home+back to reboot it got stuck in the g1 screen. it is apparent that i screwed something up anythoughts how to get my phone back working. been at this for 4 hrs cant think str8 anymore.
[G1 Android Development] m00b3rt:
rosie app2sd help.

none of the methods i have tried work.

i either get force closed in the middle of it.

my phone loops afterwards.

or some dumb error message.

anyone have insight?
[G1 Android Development] g1201:
why is my comm not reading the apps_s folder
[G1 Android Development] SpyderMS:
You could try flashing a build other than Hero, if Hero isn't working for you. I recommend TheDude's, but I hear good things about Haykuro 6.x and CyanogenMod as well.
[G1 Android Development] xidominicanoix:
Wisefire has a pretty good tutorial here that you might want to try.
[G1 Android Development] Brutal-Force:
Also, when you first boot up, skip the tutorial, it crashes the system. Just press skip, and go slow. Rosie is kinda flaky.
[G1 Android Development] m00b3rt:

force closed my whole rosie ui.

i don't know why.

my second try,

it loop'd.
[G1 Android Development] ravenge:
a reboot to recovery and an alt+w wipe fixed this problem for me
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
hey man try my method. (I dont take credit for none of this; these are the steps that have worked for me)

1st Partition the sd card (dont kno what partitions you have but i already assume you have this done this is just for good measure in case any1 else wants to use this) Then wipe the phone and proceed to step 2.

2nd Install the squished version of hero made by JustAnotherCrowd (if you may need it pm me)

3rd Follow these instructions provided by Wiseman...

Mount your SD card and create a folder named tmp on the root directory.

Save the following text file into the sdcard/tmp directory

http://98.131.185.198/jf/system/bin/lucid.txt

Now unmount your device

Open the terminal emulator on your phone(If you don’t have it, get it from the market)

Once in the Terminal Emulator

#mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

#cd /sdcard/tmp

#busybox cp lucid.txt /system/bin/lucid

#chmod 755 /system/bin/lucid

#busybox chown 0:0 /system/bin/lucid

#lucid (Should Clarify whether or not the Script installed)

#lucid -d -sd

#lucid -dc -sd

#lucid -m –sd

#lucid -a –sd (DO THIS LAST, IT WILL CLOSE THE TERMINAL EMULATOR)

#exit

Now ADB Commands;

adb remount

adb Shell

cp –a /data/app_s /system/sd/app_s

rm –r /data/app_s

rm –r /system/app

ln –s /system/sd/app_s /data/app_s

ln -s /system/sd/app_s /system/app

reboot

Hopefully this helps some people! If you have any quetsions I'd be glad to help.

All credit is to Haykuro for the amazing ROM and JustAnotherCrowd for "Squishing" it up for us!

4th Once rebooted check the internal memory i was able to get a whopping 88 mb free after this method.

Any questions just ask man. O yea dont 4get to remove the htc launcher and exchange if you dont use it trust me they help with performance. Good Luck man.

And again I dont take credit for none of this...the credit belongs to JustAnotherCrowd...Wiseman...Haykuro....if i missed anyone i do appologize
[G1 Android Development] hazeline:
Alternative way to try out rosie UI, i cannot get my sd card partition to work, thus i used hero beta 3 and extracted out Haykuro app_s zip file. Then i installed rosie apk with a few widgets and wella, u have the rosie UI running. However memory may keep running out and android will kill apps for example people and dialer.

May i know if it is possible for a rom developer to transfer the rosie UI into google rom? It would be much much smoother.:)
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
one way i can recommend for you to partition your sd would be to install j.f 1.51 adp and then use the marcus apps2sd method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=512743 to partition your sd card for you. I followed that method and partitioned my stock 1gb card perfectly. See if that works for you.

ummm do you have a sd card reader ? If so delete the update thats on there and copy a new one onto your sd card. Make sure this time if your using windows to safely remove the drive so nothing can become corrupted. Then boot into recovery wipe and flash see if that helps.

i cant call right now man gotta go 2 school at 7:45 gotta ceremony or sum ish n its 4:12 out here in nj but ima give you clear instructions to the best of my ability.

1st turn off the g1...and remove the sd card.

2nd put the sd card in the wing and connect it to the computer

3rd just like you would with the g1 move the rom you want to the sd card just to get you back on the safe side i would recommend using a very stable rom like jf 1.51 us or adp just to get your phone working again

4th once the rom is on your phone right click on it and rename it update then press enter, right click on it again and go to properties and make sure the file name reads update.zip once thats done disconnect the wing from the computer and remove the sd card.

5th place the sd card back into the g1 then turn it back on holding home and back you should now be in the recovery from here press alt+w to wipe the phone then press alt+s to update the new rom the when it finishes it will tell you to press home n back to reboot from here just sit back and let it load.

hope this helps

Innnn-ter-rest-ting...

This is just something that I thought the community would find interesting. Early yesterday morning, I was up with nothing to do and a whole lot of time to do it. I downloaded and flashed the new Hero w/Rosie, from the Hero Beta 3 w/o wipe. "What's so special about that?" you might ask? Well, I was using a $9.99, No Class rating, 2 gb SD with a 50/50 split. 968mb FAT32, 968mb ext2. adb push'ed the app_s through the TE, and you know what? It was like butter. I had maybe 6 force closes off the first boot, but once I reboot, haven't had anymore. Overclocking it to 527.17 took care of the lag. All apps went right where they were suppose to. 52mb internal is what it said in "settings" but it didn't get any lower after downloading apps. Only thing that made me take it off, (i think it was due to overclocking) was my battery temp went way up to 107.3 degrees (check through the My T-Mobile app). And this was while not charging. It would just get extremely hot outta nowhere. So, no need for expensive SD's and what not. But I ran it, synced it, used the hell out of it for about 24hrs, with no problems, no crashes, no loops, nuthin. Hope someone can use this. :D:cool:

EDIT: I'm still having a hell of a time with this 16gig SD though. I think it's fried. Got 15 days to send it back though, so it all good. Funny how that works...

I just tried to partition and push app_s file to my friend's 2g Nokia SD card, and though the partition seemed to be properly made, when I pushed app_s to it, it would tell me out of space. I then did the same process with a 1 gig SanDisk (450mg ext/550 Fat32 not much space left, I know, but he wanted the Hero Rom more than a huge music collection) and it worked like a charm.
