I wonder if it would be possible to create a small ram disk on the devices memory, just like 10-20mb, would it make a difference? I am sure it may help a bit...

Would it be better to use a few mb of device memory than use sd? Because I hear using sd as ram causes curruption, why has people skipped the idea of just using the devices memory?

I am including a zip that has the lucid that works and all the other necessary files you are missing. Lucid will not work by default. There is another key file missing. Anyway, extract this to a folder with no spaces in the name and run the bat file. It will also set you up for odex.
[G1 Android Development] chief2842:
Thanks so just extract this to my SD then run the bat file?

EDIT

Thanks that work I have 88mb free.
[G1 Android Development] mhsbrian:
Did anyone else get a prompt this morning on the beta 4 saying theres a new bootloader update available ?
[G1 Android Development] chief2842:
This rom is dope, my only negative is the force closings I keep getting.
[G1 Android Development] N3xt2N0N3:
Wait was it an OTA (over the air) update?

If so track it down dont update yet.
[G1 Android Development] mhsbrian:
I dont know !

All I know is that it automatically popped up and said it was version 1.73.xxxx (cant remember the last digits) and I was like wtf ?

I was under the impression we didn't receive OTA updates when your phone is rooted.
[G1 Android Development] blackgin:
How can I overclock hero rom if I don't have root? So, how can I get root on hero rom?
[G1 Android Development] N3xt2N0N3:
Its possible you received one cause i remember haykuro received one when he was working on his H builds and tracked down where the updates were coming from. Did you do the update already?
[G1 Android Development] parmenti:
I guess all that about the thread just being closed for cleaning wasn't entirely accurate.. doesn't take this long.. there was only 27 pages in the first place.. very strange place xda is. Perhaps we need a new forum.. perhaps I should make it. :)
[G1 Android Development] N3xt2N0N3:
If your on the hero rom than you already have root
[G1 Android Development] painrage:
*sigh* after atempting to flah the first time last night and through a mistake could get it up and running. i went to remove update.zip fom the sd card with my reader and it wouldn't delete then tried it in lynux still wouldn't go couldn't over write it so i tried completly formating, deleting partitions nothing worked i can't change permissions or sharing or any thing and it says it's read only nowany ideas on how to fix this or dose this mean it's corupted and unuseable?
[G1 Android Development] blackgin:
Sure? Without superuser app?
[G1 Android Development] Dantehman:
has anyone got the ammended code for ADB for A2SD on the hero Build??
[G1 Android Development] jamesbui12:
a2sd code is the same pretty much.

app_s folder is already on ext2 partition. don't have to do anything with that.

just create symlinks for all the other folders you choose to move over..

adb devices

adb remount

adb shell cp -a /data/data /system/sd/data

adb shell cp -a /data/app-private /system/sd/

adb shell cp -a /data/dalvik-cache /system/sd/

adb shell cp -a /data/app /system/sd/

adb shell rm -r /data/data

adb shell rm -r /data/app-private

adb shell rm -r /data/dalvik-cache

adb shell rm -r /data/app

adb shell ln -s /system/sd/data /data/data

adb shell ln -s /system/sd/app-private /data/app-private

adb shell ln -s /system/sd/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache

adb shell ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app

adb shell reboot
[G1 Android Development] N3xt2N0N3:
Yes im sure. For some reason haykuro didnt add superuser but we do have root on hero rom.

Applications just doesnt ask for root access
[G1 Android Development] mhsbrian:
No,

I figured if it wasn't a manual update(like everything else is) that it wasn't anything I wanted.

First thing that came to mind was that it would un-root my phone.
[G1 Android Development] Vision77:
Yeah the superuser access is not built into this rom.....I downloaded the terminal emulator app and typed in su and got the # sign meaning I still have root. I'm still wondering if I download/install the superuser.apk and then and go back into the terminal emulator app and type in the right command will it enable superuser again...Now if I only had the commands:D
[G1 Android Development] Dantehman:
well thats me on 88MB free,,,,, just need to start installing apps now lmao

Thankin Youuu!!!!
[G1 Android Development] mhsbrian:
I'm running beta 4 and I have superuser permission.
[G1 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Agreed. The mods here are odd. No offense, but it seems to be very political...

And I don't mean the democratic part, I mean the payoffs and spending parts.
[G1 Android Development] Vision77:
The official haykuro hero rom doesn't.....Unless I messed up some how, which is highly probable....
[G1 Android Development] chief2842:
After moving apps2sd I noticed everything force closing on the home screen, anyone else having trouble?
[G1 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
This one is faster.... Install gscript from market and load scripts from sd. They are already in the right folder.

It was an issue with the libdvm.so file. That one didn't help, only seemed to conflict with rosie. Run this over it and it will correct the problem and increase the speed.
[G1 Android Development] DAKIDD236:
The Hero rom is just greatness, it just so laggy and slow. The features are awesome and i love the different htc clocks and how the weather application moves around depending on the weather.
[G1 Android Development] Thibale:
This rom works perfectly, Thanks Haykuro!

Amazing UI!!

However, it still a bit laggy IMO (even with a class6 SDcard), so went back to Google ION :)
[G1 Android Development] diaztradeinc:
Now is this for rosie or hero beta?
[G1 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
HELLO!!!! Two posts up... I get ALMOST NO LAG!!! And my sd is NOT class 6 hehe
[G1 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Why would I be using Hero beta without the rosie UI? Did you update? I did...

[Tutorial] - Let's fix our Hero build

Hi,

I'm make new topic for our Hero build with some change, you can do it yourself easily

[B][COLOR="Red"]Some one ask me how to install application. Please read this first:[/COLOR]

[url]http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3657355&postcount=5[/url]

[url]http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=502010[/url][/B]

1. Free your memory (remove Launcher.apk)

We 're using Hero with Rosie UI, but Launcher.apk run background and eat our memory. Suck! Just delete it:

adb shell rm -r system/sd/app_s/Launcher.apk

2. Remove HTC PC Sync

I know someone (like me) doesn't use exchange, and don't want this application eat memory and show noitification. Just delete it :D

3. Replace Chinese keyboard by English keyboard with calibration

adb shell rm -r system/sd/app_s/HTC_CIME.apk
adb push your_HTC_IME.apk_direction system/sd/app_s/
adb push your_Clicker.apk_direction system/sd/app_s/

4. Camera. Awesome.

This is original camera from Hero device. Haykuro's Hero build is using HTC sapphire camera.

You must reboot your phone after do that. I added reboot line code.

adb shell rm -r system/sd/app_s/Camera.apk
adb push your_HTCCamera.apk_direction system/sd/app_s/
adb shell reboot

Please test and report in this topic. All apk file will be uploaded right now.
[G1 Android Development] diaztradeinc:
Of course i updated lol, just making sure. Its better to ask questions then to stay in silence not knowing lol. :D
[G1 Android Development] chief2842:
Thanks I can't get gscript to work, it keeps force closing. Is there another way you can run the shell scripts?
[G1 Android Development] fdisk81:
I'd like to make a general comment spruced up by what's been going on here and it was spruced up mostly by Hero. Feel free to mod it.

I know xda is a developer forum, however it has also become the default go-to place for users to find ROMs as well. The Android Community is still in its infancy, but it strikes me like there isn't a place for USERS not developers, to go for ROMs and step-by-step layman instructions on how to get them working.

XDA is the best place for that, but oftentimes threads get buried in pages of people asking the same thing over and over because the Search function in this forum is quite frankly crap.

For instance, last night I spent an hour looking for a good way to do Apps2SD since I didn't jump in that bandwagon back when it started with Cupcake and all I found was a step-by-step on how to partition in Windows using Paragon Partition Manager (Which was super helpful and will try it out tonight), but I still don't know anything on how to do apps2sd on my phone, other than I should look for something dalvik...

Just my $0.02 about all this since I can't get Hero running on my phone...
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
i like where youre going with this. i have the squished version and need to create all the memory i can
[G1 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
adb remount

adb shell cp sdcard/gscript/odexdata system/bin/odexdata

adb shell chmod 755 system/bin/odexdata

adb shell cp sdcard/gscript/odexpaid system/bin/odexpaid

adb shell chmod 755 system/bin/odexpaid

adb shell cp sdcard/gscript/odexsys system/bin/odexsys

adb shell chmod 755 system/bin/odexsys

adb shell odexdata

adb shell odexpaid

adb shell odexsys

Same thing in terminal, just mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system (I hate that I know that from memory now)

then do all the same minus the adb shell prefix
[G1 Android Development] sangeet.003:
Ya Removing The Launcher.apk Increases the performance of Rosie thanks It improves the speed... Lets See what the new camera.apk Does M eager To Get It....

Edit: Wow The The new HERO CAMERA IS AWSOME Shows everything Currently going Means locating GPS, Even MENU Items Show Text & Icons Only The Gallery Button Dosent Work

Question : Is There An Different Gallery App For Hero Build, Coz Even It Dosent Allow Adding Contact Picture via Gallery...

1 More Fix Needed Is Rooting Without adb Means Enabling SUPERUSER apk Coz when I try CPU Overclock Widget, It Says Need An Rooted G1... So Even After installing SUPERUSER Apk, It shows this, Only Its The Last Thing Which Is most Important For Me...
[G1 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
The best apps2sd method for hero would be lucids script. It is symlink, as the kernel is not fully ready for unionfs and the apps2sd original app tends to disregard whether or not the SD is actually mounted and will create the links and files on the internal memory anyway. There ya go... now if you "Display as posts" in search youll find it.. ;)
[G1 Android Development] ministersin:
Things like this are on stickies at the top of the topic. Why would you search?
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
can u post the squished version or upload a link to it...been trying to install the regualr one with no luck..thanks
[G1 Android Development] DAKIDD236:
do i add the modifications.zip to my sd card?
[G1 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
BTW... There is a place for USERS... Google. I think they even helped make a phone ;)
[G1 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Unzip somewhere on your computer. Make it a folder that has no weird spaces or characters anywhere in the directory's full name.. like c:\mods.. then run the bat and it does the rest through adb
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:
twisted, i'm not too familiar with .bat files, i have a mac.

i opened it and found this. . .

i ran that thru adb, what do i do with the other two folder?
[G1 Android Development] Jrbourque:
so if you trying to do it through terminal then what are the steps to do? i see the commands but what about bat file
[G1 Android Development] brandenk:
All of these suggestions worked great! Especially the removal of HTC sync and launcher.

And I'm on a slow connection but I'm downloading now to make a repacked Hero build with the above changes.
[G1 Android Development] DAKIDD236:
I dont have adb installed do i just run the commands you posted a few spots up from terminal to run the bat file?
[G1 Android Development] N3xt2N0N3:
Yeah i have mac too so im stuck where you are.
[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
after we run the batch file what do we do next?
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
As promised..

You need to obtain the new SPL and Radio first PRIOR to installing this ROM. Follow this post.

Installation:

1. Download http://www.droiddeveloper.com/hrbuilds/app_s.zip

2. extract "app_s" into your sdcard's ext2 partition.

3. Download http://www.droiddeveloper.com/hrbuilds/hero-signed.zip

4. Place on regular sd card.

5. Reboot into recovery, wipe and flash.

6. Enjoy.

Only thing that shouldn't work at the moment is bluetooth and some minor features.. besides that you have a fully functional hero rom.

enjoy guys..

Phuck the leakers, and there supporters. :cool:

EDIT: as far as the bluetooth problem goes, i haven't played with a fix just yet.. i've spent this free time since i've quit to catch up on homework guys.

this is not me coming back.... this is just to clear my conscience, and a big "Phuck YOU" to the leakers :)

EDIT2: it's using ext2 instead of ext3 because, again, i haven't worked on the rom since i've quit..

for those of you that don't know how to place app_s into sd card do this:

adb push app_s /system/sd/app_s

enjoy.

EDIT3: /system/app wouldn't fit.. and if i did /data/app_s like before, it wouldn't give you any space in /data this is why i did it this way.

and yes.. this has Rosie.

THE HERO HAS RISSEN! But really,thanks.

EDIT:how do I put the app_s onto a ext2 partion via windows? I lost my linux live cd.
[G1 Android Development] tato22:
wich one do we download 1 or 3 ?

and thanks alot haykuro much love dawg thanks again
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
I dont use Apps2SD so can i just add the app_s back to the data folder and resign?
[G1 Android Development] blakestimac:
F!! Why does it have to be on an ext2? I cant get the permissions yo ork on my sdcard! Is there a way to avoid this?

And ps. Good god thank you!
[G1 Android Development] fleshdeep:
If you dont, then wait for someone else to say how. This isn't a tech. It's apps2sd method or none right now.
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
@justanothercrowd no, this requires apps2sd because its so large.

@ynghova187 and dutman yes
[G1 Android Development] dutman:
So how would I go about on doing step 3? Srry I just unrooted my phone because it was randomly shutting off, and now I see this, and I want to root. lol.
[G1 Android Development] h4ck3r7y:
For someone whos never used apps2sd, is there a quick tutorial for this?

I've searched, but theres nothing that i found about putting a "app_s" folder onto the partition...

Sorry for the n00b question, im usually pretty good with this type of stuff, but i'm at a loss
[G1 Android Development] Razor1973:
Which method(s) should work? I've seen at least 5 so far, including an application or two.
[G1 Android Development] Rickster08:
will my apps2sd application automatically move this apps folder to partion2?
[G1 Android Development] mikedmeyer:
Step 3 is simply downloading a file. Is that really what you need help with?
[G1 Android Development] tato22:
if i dont have apps to sd what links can i download any help i never used apps to sd
[G1 Android Development] maydaysos:
This would be the perfect time for the few of us that still haven't been using apps2sd

nice that this has rosie.

Which tut would is the most widely used and most compatible method
[G1 Android Development] exjibition:
same question i am using windows... and i used paragon to partition my card before... but windows does not show ext2... is there a way around this??
[G1 Android Development] 281:
ext2...

adb push app_s /system/sd

?

where do i put that into, im sorta new to this and i have the ion rom right now.. also do we need the special spl?
[G1 Android Development] dutman:
No, I need help with Step 2. Sorry that was a typo. :) And do you have an answer for me Mr. mikedmeyer?
[G1 Android Development] mr2man07:
I can't help you with ADB, but if you are running a linux distribution, load GPartEd and you can format your card (if you havent already) and place it on the ext2 partition.
[G1 Android Development] METHOD1911:
video please

Hayruko hats off is it possible to get tut video for the partition of as card a lot of us are new cannot figure what the hell to do PLEASE SOMEONE HELP BEEN READING THE THREAD ALL DAM DAY
[G1 Android Development] soba5150:
me too im trying to find a way to fix it thru alt-x console but im clueless....i used terminal to move the app_s and unzip it in system/sd the phone boots up i can get and make calls but my screen is black and i can't get into any settings all i can see is a notification bar.......and all my contacts are deleted = ( T
[G1 Android Development] inportb:
Ah, true. In that case I might just get the 8gb online since I already have a USB adapter as well as a SD adapter that came with a previous microSD purchase :)

Thanks for the info though.

I will restore a nandroid backup and try again...

If it is a no go I'll report back and give you my findings..

This is not a call to Haykuro for action, I just want the community to be aware of the situation.

same with me, im going to try and wipe a few more times before i do my nandroid.

you can't operate the phone with a black screen:(:mad:

you unzip the file to the wrong place if im correct it should have been unzipped to system/sd/app_s correct me if im wrong thou

[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
yea man tell me about it im giddy right now...i feel like im in the stone age...im dying over here
[G1 Android Development] parmenti:
Well, it begs the question.. does the Rom support Unionf's? Because not every appsToSD method will work with every rom. I've been using appsToSD2 - is that going to work here? It's not always as simple as some may suggest by pointing to a google search.
[G1 Android Development] DAKIDD236:
finally loaded up:D, thanks to haykuro and for everyones help!
[G1 Android Development] mr2man07:
Use any partition compatible with your OS, format a 500mb Ext2 partition with mount point as /

Create a fat32 partition to fill the rest of the card. Mount app_s in ext2, put hero-signed.zip in fat32.

Clarification (for noobs)

The correct ADB command is

adb push app_s /system/sd/app_s

for all of you that are getting the loop issue. Hero is looking for the app_s folder, so if you're pushing the apps to /system/sd, those files are in the wrong location.
[G1 Android Development] tr.slate:
how exactly do we get adb to recognize a local file? I have adb installed, but when i used the adb push script is just says "file not found."

That basically answered your question. Just download MarcusMaximu's App. Create 2 partiotions, FAT32 comes first. Ext2 Comes second.

Pick your sizes.

if you have a 1gig, then a good 500mb=FAT32 and a 500mb=Ext2 should work.

Or 1000mb per each if you have a 2 gig. Experiment.
