I take it that the 1.61 will be loaded to the link soon, because the link is not working. I just downloaded and flashed 1.6 when i saw the new link to 1.61. I will appreciate the apps2sd already built in when it is posted. I must say that this build, SO FAR, is running lightening fast, and no forced closes yet. I will not bother installing apps till all the dust settles from rapid rom releases. i may just have to use my cell phone as phone for now.

By the way is anyone else having trouble with their GPS taking an unusually long amount of time to find your location?
[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
Yes. I downloaded the Android Apps Weather Widget, and when I tried to set the location by GPS, it wouldn't find it, I just had to use a zip code entry.

Just a question-what exactly will be updated in 1.61? The only thing I'd look for is a weather fix, because i'm not using A2SD yet
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
Changes in 1.61

Included Mail.apk APPS2SD.apk put back in and we are back to 1.4's APPS2SD method. All other changes from 1.6 remain.

this is the only differences. So far this 1.6 is impressive. very responsive.

Thanks for the build.
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Ahh.... and then there was video clips,slow my a$$ lol....:D

[G1 Android Development] Henchman:
Why make a link, if it doesn't work?
[G1 Android Development] tato22:
can any one post the link to the lst one he posted plz

the 1.61 plz any one
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
WOW...this is fast...like...we may have a winner type fast...
[G1 Android Development] wendee:
same here waiting for someone to repost the link :(
[G1 Android Development] tato22:
wow so many have it and no one can link it up any onee come on

1.6.1
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
fast because of the youtube video or fast because you're testing it?
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Sorry guys i cant controle this mine is to slow to upload but i will have to.
[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
Seriously... This is FAST

I'm running the google modified clock widget (4*3 Rosie Style), Large Calendar Widget, Large Bookmark Widget, Android Apps Large Weather Widget, Contacts Widget, Large Music Widget, and two Rosie Settings Widgets. Something on each of the seven pages.

Even with this, it is running faster than my phone before. I dunno how, but this rocks.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Haha now? If not I'm about to flash 1.6.

@Manup, have you thought about reducing the number of home screens? 3,4, or 5?
[G1 Android Development] tato22:
just the links are broken

this sucks
[G1 Android Development] wendee:
can you post the link for others to download?

please lol;)
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
You running 1.6 or 1.61?

a2sd?
[G1 Android Development] hovax615@hotmail.com:
wuhh? why the link down?
[G1 Android Development] tato22:
Lol ya keep braging ya killing us the one with no link
[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
I'm running 1.6 w/out A2SD

I also removed the twitter app/ widget, although I don't think it makes a big difference
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
The twitter widget is my favorite one!!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] djdeviance:
Link Please...
[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
I know.... It looks really nice and stuff, but I never go on twitter- I don't even have an account.

Having the large music widget gives a slight slowdown, but that's because it forces music to run in the background. Still fast with it though
[G1 Android Development] maydaysos:
I'm running 1.6 it was on a different thread. Is there a setting to get a flash to work. Pretty snappy. Imcluded apptosd app worked greak for me.
[G1 Android Development] tato22:
i know some one gota have the link come on ppl please post the link
[G1 Android Development] teenfaces:
Here is a copy of the original 1.6 . I suggest you load this without your ext3 sdcard or even ext2 on your first boot.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3F25ZZQU
[G1 Android Development] tato22:
what is this one missing ?

this one is missing the apk for mail right and why cant i upload it with my ext2
[G1 Android Development] teenfaces:
Yes it is missing mail.apk When you first boot this with any ext sdcard, it will slow to a crawl. Without the card or just a normal formatted card, it boots right up fast. You need to simlink your apps to sd manually to be safe.
[G1 Android Development] tato22:
ok thanks for everything
[G1 Android Development] dbhatesyou:
i still wanna know why theres the whole newramdisk.gz set in the root, with some other files i dont think those should really be there? on another note, manup why's the one of the /lockscreen/land images in the wrong dimension (rotated) ? im going to try some other things later once i get this set up..
[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
Oh, and remember to still overclock it to 528 if you want it to be faster...

I used SetCPU for that, but any app will work. I just like SetCPU because it applies on boot.

EDIT: Wow. I just tried running rosie w/ music playing in the background, and it runs perfectly smoothly. You guys rock JAC and MANUP!
[G1 Android Development] orells:
I'm loving the 1.6 but i got a couple of issues:

My weather app forces close which keeps my widget from working (I have installed both the app and widget manually)

and

My camera button triggers a force close instead of opening th camera (I'm guessing this is b/c the g1 camera app was replaced by the hero one)

any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
I don't think anyone has the weather widget working on 1.6 yet.

I haven't tried it on Hero at all, but someone posted earlier that he could never get it to work with Rosie...
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
The weather im working on the camera sicnce it's the sapphire camera only track ball works i tried the hero camera works but has more force close issues.
[G1 Android Development] orells:
Thanks for the quick replies, non of that is life and death I just thought I'd ask.... oh and I must say this:

On every hero build since Haykuro's leak I've had an issue with opening the phone to unlock (it would always force close) On this build it works!!!:D So big ups to JAC and Manup.
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Here lockscreen wall. :cool:
[G1 Android Development] kgood63:
as you can see a noob here just wanted to give credit where it`s do on a job well done and i really love the lockscreen. Jac and Manup
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
I just up 1.62 I had to add back some things :) They are listed on the front page its just the youtube and mail stuff and I removed weather ad I never use it its slow@!

APPS2SD.apk is back in and ummm thats it. Been running it with all widgets except weather.

There is some extra stuff in the current boot.img but id doesnt hurt anything or matter. I'll clean it up down the road. I think it was a quick on I cooked up to send to manup. And he sent it back and here it is haha
[G1 Android Development] Lou2serious:
Do we have to do su then chown system.system /data/app for the market downloads on the 1.62v??
[G1 Android Development] the1wingedangel:
Great work on this build, thanks.

For anyone who wants to use Manup's modified google analog clock widget (vs the hero one) but wanted a different face from the hero widget, I changed mine over to that silver 1800's looking roman numeral one. Figured I'd upload the signed zip for if anyone else liked this one.

Rename the .zip to .apk. Just rm your WorldClock.apk, and WorldClock.odex. Push this one and re-odex, reboot. Good to go.
[G1 Android Development] cholito:
It runs really smooth :D just wondering something, any chance on fixing the MMS soon?
[G1 Android Development] orells:
I found a cool way to get your camera button to launch the sapphire camera. Just download a free app from the market called "button shortcuts" it allows you to assign your camera button to launch whatever program you want including.....wait for it... The Sapphire Camera!!! (corny I know but do it!):D
[G1 Android Development] orells:
Okay I used an installer to install those apk's on 1.6 and they are working so do I need to update again?
[G1 Android Development] orells:
The weather widget worked perfectly on 1.4, i'm toying with it to see if I can get it to work cause the ladies love it ;) and the iPhone 3G can't duplicate it. (EFFIN THEIVES)
[G1 Android Development] teknomanelvis:
we can have flash but can have simple animated gifs (well at least in the startup) :mad:
[G1 Android Development] Jefpier:
Wow! 1.61 also died so quick, but thnks for 1.62 i will give a try tomorrow, again thank you!
[G1 Android Development] CaptainMorgan128:
ok so maybe i'm completely wrong/noobish/dumb or whatever you want to call it.. but i was looking at the SuperHero update and comparing to JACMan1.62 (because the weather widget works in SuperHero) and i noticed that some of the weather .apk's are listed in different locations than the other (superhero has a few in data/app, and JACMan has it in data/app_s) could the location of these have anything to do with it?? if so , anyone know how to change where they are located?
[G1 Android Development] juanolo:
With JACMan 1.62 dont work google-widgets for me. (com.htc.AddProgramWidget)

What is android.process.acore? i become error when i start a app

browser also dont work (com.android.browser)

if i push this apps from JACHeroR1.4, would it work?

except that all, this rom rocks!
[G1 Android Development] djdeviance:
I noticed that too when I did Lucid Script. So instead I wiped. Reflashed used included appstosd.
[G1 Android Development] juanolo:
Thanks, now works :)

Edit: Did flash works in browser? if yes, how?
[G1 Android Development] blackgin:
So, now.. Does the upgrade from 1.4 requires wipe?
[G1 Android Development] CC CEO:
for some reason im unable to get any signal with this build...it says something is wrong with my sim...but when i switch back 2 any other build its fine...i was previously running the 1.4 before i upgraded
[G1 Android Development] jlaholton:
Where's the link for 1.62???
[G1 Android Development] jigdagod:
It's the same link as 1.61
[G1 Android Development] jlaholton:
Thanks for the quick reply.:)
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Quick comment/question. So last night I loaded 1.6 and it is lightning fast. I removed some stuff I don't and will not use like Weather and Twitter. Didn't even notice that Youtube and Mail (and APPS2SD) were missing. Since I've already "tweaked" my current build, could I just push Youtube, Mail and APPS2SD or does 1.62 have any other changes that would benefit me by doing a full update?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
So far this is the fasted Hero ROM out, no force classes and working like a dream. Absolutely phenomenal job @justanothercrowd and @manup !!!!! (1.62)
[G1 Android Development] da0ne:
runnin smooth good job guys
[G1 Android Development] Klarato:
+1 here...Most usable build i have tried to date of the hero mix.
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
does it support ext3 right off installation?
[G1 Android Development] juanolo:
Yes, i do it without wipe, and than have not enough space for data.img. Maybe because now are the widgets in the rom included.
[G1 Android Development] jlaholton:
So far, my only small glitch is getting cache to my sd, and open overclocker doesn't respond. But overall I like this hero the best so far.
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
I completely agree, I've had one force close, but that was because of me. Otherwise, it's smooth. I just want to add Youtube and mail back in, but I guess I'll end up updating to 1.62 and removing whatever I don't use/need again.
[G1 Android Development] da0ne:
im on ext3 n its running smooth
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
thanks imma flash now...i just have to run app2sd2 once it loads up right?
[G1 Android Development] custom374:
1.62 is already tweaked to 528. Unless you want to "Under" Clock it. :)
[G1 Android Development] da0ne:
yep thats wat i did
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
when i type busybox df is it suppose to show up as system/sd...i just flashed n i only have 17mb...i kno i have ext3
[G1 Android Development] mightykc:
How can I get the HTC Clock widget back? Does anyone know what the name of the widget is and if I install it from my app_s folder would it work?
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
it seems like i can only do symlink with ext3...
[G1 Android Development] ryan75:
I agree, best Hero ROM available, and I also share your sentiments towards justanothercrowd and manup. I'll probably stick with this build and it's updates for a while.

As expected, I got the "force close only" dialog running Apps2SD during the move apps run. I don't remember if this happened when I installed JACHero's first release, but when I force closed it, my phone crashed/rebooted.

The dalvik to sd ran quite fast and only threw one "fc or wait dialog".

Are there any commands in terminal to verify (for my own sanity) that both apps and dalvik are properly moved/simlinked to my ext3 partition?
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
I don't use A2SD app, I stick with lucids script (which I've memorized via terminal, lol)
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
how much memory u have free...i jus moved apps n dalvik and im around 61mb free
[G1 Android Development] ryan75:
Good call. Yep, I have 63MB free. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] jlaholton:
I can't get chompsms or the stock messaging to work:(
[G1 Android Development] tato22:
is 1.62 even out yet
[G1 Android Development] ryan75:
Lucid's way better or they do the same thing and its just your preference? I actually bought LucidREM a week or so ago and forgot I could do it that way. Any harm in doing it again or is it pointless and not worth the risk?
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
can i run the hero speedup version 2 to do the optimization script and replace the camera? when i tried b4 with other builds it never turned out good
[G1 Android Development] nabzilla1990:
runs great are there going to be more major updates
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
yuyp its in the first post.
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
I think the first page is invisible to some people.
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
lol i think so too
[G1 Android Development] custom374:
click on the 1.61 it is the link to 1.62. Or it was for me.
[G1 Android Development] tato22:
no just the link dose not say 1.62 just says 1.61\
[G1 Android Development] jlaholton:
Or maybe people know the difference between a 1 and a 2. ;)
[G1 Android Development] Jrbourque:
So going from 1.6 to 1.62 should be a non wipe correct?
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
is there anyway to speed up a lil?? ..im still a lil laggy
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
The link does say 1.62. The text in the post says 1.61, but everyone is talking about 1.62...so.....yeah...
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
anybody experiencing the phone locking up or becoming unresponsive?? it forces me to pull the battery
[G1 Android Development] skhy:
Worst experience of any ROM i've tried...:(
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
why?...wats so bad about it?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Best experience of any Hero Rom - bar none - I've tried.

Instructions:

Reformat ext2 partition (no data).

power off. power on in recovery.

Alt + w

Alt + s

Patiently wait.

Set up. AppstoSD. PATIENTLY WAIT. Reboot.

You are good to go. Four full screens and no slow down.
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
would you say ext2 is better for this rom or ext3?
[G1 Android Development] Jrbourque:
i have ext 3 and it works just fine i dont know if ext 2 works better or not tho. but i didnt use apptosdv2
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
have you experienced any lock ups or random reboots?
[G1 Android Development] skhy:
i tried 1.4 and had it going smoothly and was loving it, had it running perfectly but would still have the Rosie force close here and there. But trying this update, it was way too laggish and for some odd reason kept resetting??? Very unresponsive.
[G1 Android Development] komposure85:
you can manually install the HtcClockWidget from the widgets download located on the 1st page
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
did you try using the 1.62 update?? it helps out alot
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Ext2

From what i gather jac left some artifacts in for an upcomming release to more fully accomodate ext3, unionfs, and aufs.

I dont speak for him, but looking through the files and reading the threads thats what i gather.

I would start with ext2 cause you can always "tune2fs -j /dev/sdb2" in a terminal (linux) to journal the fs and create ext3 without any loss of data.

What i want to see is the home screen # reduced to 5,4 or 3.
[G1 Android Development] TimSykes:
The google analog clock was skinned to look like the main hero clock, and it will keep the rom working fast. The hero widget slows it down a bit.
[G1 Android Development] Jrbourque:
i havent had any problems like that no. I am flashing to 1.62 now tho i had the one before
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
interesting i might just have to start fresh and try it out with ext2...oh and the optimize option from hero speedup seemed to help a little
[G1 Android Development] Jrbourque:
what appstosd version comes with 1.62?
[G1 Android Development] ryan75:
I'm on ext3 and I haven't had any problems. If my phone does start going bonkers though, this is good stuff to know as a possible cause/solution.
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
it comes with version 1
[G1 Android Development] zestyo:
Very impressed with the latest releasae, very fast and smooth.

However I'm still getting force closes of "acore" when trying to access Facebook photos in the contacts. I've tried a complete wipe of both phone and SD card to no avail. Anyone have any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] Zarboz:
yeah but only after a few hours of being awake then putting the phone in "sleep mode" im guessing it might be all those background activities running causing the phone to slow down ... i duno for sure tho

@justanothercrowd is the one you uploaded last night with the phone.apk that works is that one running on aufs kernel or should i go ahead and reflash my boot image back to aufs
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
well it seems that it was the widgets that were slowing me down idk y tho..but removing them helped and running the optimize script
[G1 Android Development] fdeschape:
is 1.62 fully optimized? is it faster than Superhero v1 beta 2?
[G1 Android Development] custom374:
yes!!

This rom is awesome thanx guys you rock!!
[G1 Android Development] horrorwolf:
This is a great rom, Good job skinning the Google clock, are there any other HTC skins for the google clock?
[G1 Android Development] sbig79:
How can I install the Hero camera, I liked the hero camera alot, it seems faster than the saphire one?
[G1 Android Development] TimSykes:
The 1800's style clock.

[G1 Android Development] legaleye2005:
Coming from SuperHero beta 2, do I need to wipe?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
I would say yes. I always wipe, regardless. Backup all of your apps.

Also, this ROM is not "optimized" in the traditional sense. So far, I have not found any .odex files, which is awesome! I think the whole odexing thing was a crock. I also think the odexing screwed up the flash player. Anyway, I could be wrong.

3 home screen hero !!!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] legaleye2005:
I only just started playing with Hero yesterday using SuperHero and Rosie seems to have to reload (force close/reload) a lot. A lil slow too... It has 7 home screens, which I don't need personally.

And don't you want the build to be "optimized"? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] chrisrj28:
Yeah Great job on this. Havent had a chance to fully play with it but pretty responsive so far. Already moved apps & dalvik to sd. didn't even have to wipe my EXT2, just relinked my installed apps, nice. Only prob is that effin weather.apk. It's the same one I was using with 1.4 but I get that elroy force close too. I hope that gets corrected sometime soon. Otherwise great job, and the phone works
[G1 Android Development] Auctionedllama:
Im running JACked hero v2, which is directly from 1.6. The only issue is the weather program which amazes me, because JAC clamed superhero beta 2 was a direct copy of his 1.4 build. Well, believe it or not, the weather apps worked in superhero, (both builds) and in any of the JAC builds, they never worked. So, I find the fact that superhero was entirely copied a bit funny, but whatever. And I think top priority for hero would be to get weather working, and then notification lights.
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Anyone else having a problem where happened force closes on boot and Google talk won't work?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
People have been confusing odexing with optimization. I think odexing screws up hero. The changes JAC did to the kernel and adding noatime ext support did more to speed it up than anything else. See what im saying?
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
nope none here and im using google talk now..
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
how do I replace the phone.apk where does it go?

/data/app_s? and then reboot?
[G1 Android Development] orells:
OOooo, not true I was running 1.4 for a week and my weather widget worked from day one. but it did cause alot of lag so i can understand it's removal until it's optimized. and if you compare the files in 1.4 to superhero they are almost identical they just changed some fonts and a boot screen, I wasn't impressed with that build
[G1 Android Development] orells:
why would you replace it? do you perfer the old dailer?
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
to make and receive phone calls because I can't do either now it force closes every time I try to call out.
[G1 Android Development] g1doobie:
I was using 1.4. I was ready to use 1.6 but it says u need a class 6 sd card and I only have a class 4 card so I had to go back to the dudes rom.
[G1 Android Development] orells:
dammit I want multi-touch! any ideas on how to do it on 1.62?
[G1 Android Development] Jrbourque:
anyone know where to find HTC_IME.apk to be replaced in terminal?
[G1 Android Development] tato22:
am using a class 2 16gig and its working good no problems
[G1 Android Development] tato22:
\\

re wipe it
[G1 Android Development] TimSykes:
I use a class 2 8gb with no issues.
[G1 Android Development] sbig79:
Can someone tell me how to port/replace the Saphire cam to the Hero camera? To me, the hero camera has a fast shutter and looks a bit better IMO.
[G1 Android Development] orells:
mine works fine have you tried to redownload the build wipe and reflash? maybe there was a corrupted file in the download.
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
I'm trying another flash now but I was running 1.61 and then JACKed Hero v1 then v2 and I wiped and reflashed each time.

but I read that you're supposed to push phone.apk to the phone to fix the force close when dialing out.

and since JACKed Hero is based upon 1.61 I thought it would be the same thing.

I hope that 1.62 fixes it if not I'm gonna have to go back to superhero "JAC1.4 renamed" because I gotta go to work in about 20 minutes.

ok 1.62 fixed it good enough for me until I can really have time to look at the problem.
[G1 Android Development] idub81:
runnin 1.62 with a class 2 8g sd card and everything seems to work flawlessly
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
anybody know if theres a site that has the different .apk's that have been relased over time??
[G1 Android Development] lstat:
Phone call audio

Anybody have a problem with the audio being real scratchy during a call? I called my v-mail to make sure the phone doesnt force close, but the audio is so scratchy i cant bare to use it.
[G1 Android Development] orells:
okay I feel like a noob, multi touch works very well on this build... it just keeps getting better :D
[G1 Android Development] estecman:
Yep same for me, using 8g Class 2 runs very smooth.

On another note though, how come within the calender widget, the appointment reminders are not properly coloured, mine are all grey???

Oh and many thanks for this ROM!
