Alright, for those who wants to know how to put the app_s into /system/sd, here it is

*Need to have busybox and terminal emu installed

*Extract the app_s.zip to the root of your SD card

*Put the hero-signed.zip into root of SD card and remain zip file as update.zip

In Terminal Emu

$ su

# mount -o rw, remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

Unbelievable...... u really r my hero, worked perfectly,

thank you so much for your hard work.. much appreciated :)

I dont post alot, just read alot it seems, but i have been here since i pre ordered my G1 and just want to thank you and ALL the developers... u guys are amazing, and the work you do for us is much appreciated.. just do alot of reading and very LITTLE posting when I say I surely do appreciate the time and effort you put in.. I just wish that ppl would do the same and leave the majority of the posting to the developers.

thanks again and i TRULY hope you come back for good ( I TOTALLY understand if ya didnt)

im done Babbling lol :)
[G1 Android Development] ministersin:
His question, if I am not mistaken is, now that he does not have root, what is his fastest way to HERO?

Of course the normal root process of going back to RC29 can be found just about anywhere on xda or ac.

Although I thought I saw a much easier way here on XDA somewhere. I think it may have even been H who made the rom to do it.
[G1 Android Development] jawnsixteen:
this is my exact question
[G1 Android Development] wootroot:
no what i did was unzip it in c:\adb\app_s

adb is obviously where adb is for me so i opened cmd and typed adb push app_s /system/sd/app_s and it moved each apk to /system/sd/app_s, i didnt actually push the zip
[G1 Android Development] twistedumbrella:

Can ANYONE tell me where to put the app_s file locally? Im on a mac, and adb tells me its not found.

I'm running A2SD using unionfs. Put app_s in the right place and reflashed update.zip as normal. It came right up. My apps are not showing in the drawer yet. I haven't moved init.rc/a2sd.sh over yet though.

Rosie is neato and all, but I want my dxTop back. :)

Ok, I started all this with no A2SD, no ext2 partition, a class6 4 gig card, and ADB.

I wiped and flashed back to JF1.51

I formatted my SD to a fresh Fat32

I followed Marcus's instructions here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=512743

I downloaded Haykuro's files on the first post.

I extracted the app_s.zip to a directory on my C:, \Android

I then renamed hero_signed.zip to update.zip on my sdcard fat32 partition as per usual

Then while the HTC boot screen was up I typed the following into ADB

cd C:\Android

ADB push apps_sd /data/sd/apps_s

wait for the transfer

ADB reboot

Voila. Rosie UI in under an hour.

Sorry guys, I thought I could handle this myself but I have a looping issue also.

I used to have H's Cupcake build and I just wiped, installed the radio, installed the SPL and installed the new firmware. I used a Linux machine for format my 4gb memory card with 3gb fat and 1gb ext2 and I extracted the zip file into its own folder.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or how to provide any more information. Can anyone help?

not to be a **** but in all honesty if you guys can't figure out how to get apps2sd working with the 8 million threads on it and 4-5 custom apps that let you one click your way to victory, you probably shouldn't be ****ing with hero...just wait for the guy who's putting together some rom that will work without needing apps2sd.
[G1 Android Development] 281:
??

NOTHING! We need a thorough step-by-step guide/tutorial with pictures.. or a simple video, since everyone is saying they have the ROM. we want it also... no offense, it is just very frustrating and confusing.

Everything... the radio, then SPL, then all that. People are claiming to do it with one sd card? how? then ESEPCIALLY THE EXT2 AND PARTITION STUFF.. THAT IS KILLING ME, and all that. so a tutorial will be nice, and ive seen some tutorials already they are good also but it is still confusing. A video will be in our best interest
[G1 Android Development] mariamildren:

QUESTION!!!

Did anyone get the boot animation than screen just goes black, the phone doesn't turn off, the screen just goes black after the boot animation
[G1 Android Development] dimes-jth:
The yes's, no's, and go here's

Here are a few answers about this hero ROM, and at least one link or two to help along the way:

Yes, its very pretty.

No it is not fast.

Yes its clearly alpha code(google the term if you dont know).

No it is not stable.

Yes it is buggy and crashy.

Yes, its still awesome.

No, blue tooth does not work.

Yes, you are going to need Apps to SD.

Yes, its hard.*

No, it is not hard.*

Some recommendations for those new to this or unsure what to do:

Get your phone rooted and running regular Haykuro roms:

http://haykuro.theiphoneproject.org/?page_id=35

Don't forget the radio(listed on haykuro's builds page):

http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/

(its at the top)

Find out if you can safely install the new SPL(it bricked a ton of G1s, so YMMV...as everyone says do so at your own risk, know you may make a paperweight).

If you decide its safe(or you ignore others info that says you shouldn't) but you still manage to upgrade your SPL to Haykuro's latest jammie SPL and you have a nicely running fully upgraded G1, then setup apps to sd:[if you have managed to get this far, you should have come across this info by now]

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Haykuro_Apps_to_SD

(Thats the howto I followed today(note the 1.5 section later in the howto!). It was simple and worked flawlessly.)

If and only if you have accomplished the above then think about the Hero Rom.

*(The asterix above)

If all of the above went well, then I would say moving to this ROM following Haykuro's instructions at the beginging of this post will be easy.

If however at some point this seems hard, too much, or you can't figure out if its safe to flash your G1s SPL(its just some searches on the forum and google...maybe some twitter search with @haykuro) then getting this Hero rom is going to be hard for you...probably better to wait.

Just my $.02

[G1 Android Development] obe1:
well let me ask first im assuming your not rooted and/or had your apps2sd cause you seem confused about partitioning your sd card and if you ever ran apps2sd then that step shouldnt even be a problem.
[G1 Android Development] dimes-jth:
It takes a while, especially if the class of SD you have is poor(this is only inferred from reading forum posts could be a red herring).

Get up, go to the bathroom, make yourself a coffee, take a quick walk out to the big blue room.

Come back and see if that has helped

*This is not a very fast ROM*

dimes
[G1 Android Development] ninjatek:
Then figure it out and make one...

If you are going to hack something, (And flashing with a 'unofficial' rom IS hacking) then you need to know the hardware hackers creed.

Try it, if it fails, figure out how to fix it. and always know that there is a possibility you will brick it an have to buy a new one. If you can't handle that.. then don't hack.

reporting in

i was on dudecake 1.2b, with the old spl.

so...

i flashed the new spl

flashed hero w/ rosie

adb pushed the app_s folder

loaded it up

used terminal to copy apps from system/sd/apps to system/sd/app_s

and played with it for the afternoon.

long story short, im nandroided back to dudecake 1.2b. the rosie stuff is flipping AWESOME, but not usable yet. i particularly like the text message widget, but the amount of force closes i got made it not feasible to keep rosie running.

i did find it intriguing that it gave me the option of using the normal home, ahome, or rosie at first.

anyway, now that ive gotten a taste of it, i am content. thanks haykuro!

app_s to ext2 without adb or terminal

This is my first post, I am an extreme noob. If you are like me, the adb push/ shell and terminal is a little past your skill set at the moment. I tried to load the Hero ROM, but kept looping over and over.

You can use Paragon Partition to place it on the ext2 partition.

1). Download the free version from http://www.paragon-software.com/home/pm-express/index.html?gclid=CMqY0oGU6poCFQNaFQod_U0vCQ

2). Follow the instructions on the following link posted by robpet2(after you back up your info on the sd card), this will give you the two partitions, one fat32, and one ext2. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=512873

(after step 2)Now if you are using vista, like me, you may not be able to see the ext2 partition when you look for it. But if you open Paragon Partition Manager you can see it, or at least i could.

3) UNZIP haykuro's app_s file to on your computer, somewhere where you can get to it easy. You should now have a app_s folder where u unzipped it. http://www.droiddeveloper.com/hrbuilds/app_s.zip

4). open Paragon Partition Manager again,

A). Choose the backup and rescue option on the left side.

B). Choose transfer files on the right side

C). Hit next when the box pops up.

D). Find the UNZIPPED app_s folder that you extracted, on the right side, then hit next

E). select the (save data to physical partition) option, then hit next.

F). select the ext2 partition that you made, you may not recognize it by letter, but you should be able to confirm it by size.

5). Download haykuro's Hero ROM and place it on your fat32 partition. http://www.droiddeveloper.com/hrbuilds/hero-signed.zip

6). power off your phone, power + home button, ALT + W, ALT + S, power + back button.

7). you may have a stall when you restart, and you may have a failed setup, just pull the battery out and restart.

I hope this helps, if any of you know how to set up hotmail with the exchange, please send an email with a detailed message "for dummies" to me (no make that "for dummies who don't know squat")
