ok here something for ppl that dont was to sacrifice there sdcard for swap but still want the Rosie ui. This is a summary of what I did.

Moved /data/app_s over to /system/sd

deleted everything from /data/app_s

Copied Rosie.apk/odex back over to /data/app_s

Deleted Rosie.apk/odex from /system/sd/app_s

Created a symlink for Rosie.apk/odex in /system/sd/app_s from /data/app_s

Removed /system/app

created symlink from /system/sd/app_s to /system/app

rebooted

changed swaper to create swap file in /data/swapfile.swp 64meg 60 swappiness

went through and deleted all apps i have download but dont use on a normal basis(down to just 26 apps)

after that its running good. yes i still get the rosie load screen but now its only about 5sec for it to load instead of the 20+ sec before. I noticed that whenever Rosie has to load, it was rebuilding the application list and this was where most of the time was being spent when loading. i would notice that rosie ui would pop up in the background fairly quick but it would take about 15+ sec to load up the application list. I had about 100+meg in downloaded apps so if you think about if the os was reading 9meg a sec, it has to go though and read the whole folder structure so that was 11 sec just to read the folder, not including the time it took to load the app into the application list. I moved the swap file to /data for faster read/write times and to save the sdcard from having to do so many writes to the swap file. Give it a try and let me know what your experiences are and other perfomance tweaks as well.
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
impeccable timing if i must say so myself lmao.

[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
can someone recommend a good free file sharing site to upload some files...im not liking 4shared too much
[G1 Android Development] MonkySlap:
Yes some apps do take longer to load but I would rather wait a extra second or two for it to load then have to replace my sdcard every couple of months. PS I am getting less loading screens for Rosie.

Help

Is anyone else stuck on the HTC intro loop with 2.3? Can someone help me , so I can try this rom.
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
yes swapper does decrease the sd card life but not to the point where you have to get a new one every few months unless your talking 24-36 months lol in which your talking 2-3 years.
[G1 Android Development] MonkySlap:
you have to delete everything in /system/sd and do a e2fsck check on it before flashing. This was the only way i could get it to work. code below. eaiest to do it with adb then terminal

#adb
adb shell rm -r /system/sd/*
adb shell reboot recovery

#for terminal in recovery
mount /system/sd
rm -r /system/sd/*
reboot recovery

#after clearing out /system/sd and booting back into recovery terminal
e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

#then do a whipe and flash.
[G1 Android Development] jaroque:
Format your EXT2/EXT3 partition and re-flash.
[G1 Android Development] nasell:
2.3 is back to pre 2.2.1 glory for me!

I was finally able to load 2.2 -> upgrade to 2.2.1 w/o wipe... Clean 2.2.1 was erroring badly.

2.3 loaded with a simple wipe, without any errors, and is back to being a daily usable rom for me.

THANKS Jac!
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
try rapidshare or mediafire there is also megaupload im not super sure if megaupload is totally free lol...i think it is.

[G1 Android Development] MonkySlap:
you will be surprized, its writing to the swap file on average every sec or so, even when the phone is not in use. this WILL degrade the sd really quick. and thats just for the swap file, put on top of that dalvik-cache writing to the sd card=alot of read/write cycles per day.
[G1 Android Development] superg05:
keep in mind it was not meant for this phone
[G1 Android Development] dbhatesyou:
its funny cause a lot of people dont understand this at all...
[G1 Android Development] otroadoquin:
Much thanks

Tried just about every single rom I could find for hero and this one has been the best. After deleting the stocks and other stuff I didn't use I'm getting 58mb of space on the internal. Runs much smoother than any of the other ones. I do recommend downloading Overclock Widget since you can set different speeds for the phone depending on the screen being off or on.

That being said, if you want your phone to run at it's supposed (hampered) settings, use the official builds. The point of having an android is to experiment, even if we have to work our way around some well announced and obvious setbacks.
[G1 Android Development] phungshum:
Keyboard light still on even when closed.

Does anyone have this problem? It seems that when I shut the screen (to hide the keyboard), the keyboard light still seems to be on. I have tried to turn on/off the auto backlight thing and it still is the same. Any ideas? Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] Jrbourque:
i heard to get blackkeys for cupcake and you are able to disable it
[G1 Android Development] rigamrts:
this only happens when i plug my phone in to recharge when removed it no longer lights up maybe why the notifacation light does not work
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
My keys turn off as normal. I just tested it, went to messages, opened keyboard, closed keyboard looked in between the screen and keyboard and the keys turned off.
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
Possible...no promises

I will post a 1.41 with some bug fixes for those that want to use the included APPS2SD .apk which (as long as you have a mounted EXT2 partition...check first!!) is seamless for newcomers.
[G1 Android Development] phungshum:
yea its no go for me, i tried unplugging the phone from charging and its still the same. Anyone else have any ideas? Thanks rigamrts, xyrcncp and JRBourque!
[G1 Android Development] Jrbourque:
Is that worth people with 1.4 to upgrade to? or wait for something else
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
One last fix needed

I have to say that the speed is greatly improved. followed instructions, wiped my ext2 partition, loaded up, and was impressed. if the bluetooth worked with this rom, i think i could stop my constant "new rom seeking" addiction. I appreciate all the work has been put into this.
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
audio

is there a way to reinsert the ringtones and notification sounds back after the rom is installed?
[G1 Android Development] Jrbourque:
yes download the resources file and just cp them to the right place
[G1 Android Development] ministersin:
And where is the right place?
[G1 Android Development] ministersin:
Moving the audio resources?

Can someone please post the cp command to move the audio files into /system/media/audio
[G1 Android Development] Jrbourque:
what are you using adb or terminal?
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
audio

adb but it would not hurt to post both ways for everyone
[G1 Android Development] caleoss:
how do u mount the ext2 partition, or do u mean just create one...
[G1 Android Development] Jrbourque:
well is the zip just full of the mp3 or in a file ringtones and are you going to move just one or two over to save space or the whole thing?
[G1 Android Development] nick_karstedt:
You can copy them directly into your win32 partition on your SD card. They show up when selecting a ringtone/notification tone. Might need a reboot...
[G1 Android Development] abteer:
JAC says hes got the sms problem solved in 2.3b. So you might want to wait till he drops that. But knowing him it will probably be 2.4 when he puts it up with some other issues fixed as well. SMS is my only issue with 2.3.
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
i do give you that, but isnt that also dependent on what the swappiness is set to as well ? The way i understand it, is that swappiness dictates how often swapper does what it does...translating to the higher the setting the more is reading/writing the swap file right....so i doubt a lowly 32MB/10 set up is going to do much to a sd card. But if im correct you said your running 64/60 right wouldnt that be a little more intensive and shorten the life quicker ? not tryna be an arse or anything just asking...
[G1 Android Development] alexdancer2:
did you alter the apn? by doing this most people got sms working
[G1 Android Development] Jerzdre:
is it safe to remove the social section when im rm /data/app_s/ in terminal?

anyone having calendar Exchange sync issues? I'm getting connection time out, but email sync is working. used to work fine in 1.8.4
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Strangely I'm on 2.2 and did not experience any SMS issues.
[G1 Android Development] MonkySlap:
And im glad you did ask. Swapiness isnt how often is swaps but how much it swaps. Im running 64/60 but on /data, not on sd.

that wont work for those without a data plan
[G1 Android Development] idub81:
yeh i had to alter the apn and my sms seems to work pretty good now
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
o ok thank you, makes sense now, but arent often/how much kinda the same thing ?...another question wouldnt that swap set up on the internal memory wear down the internal memory the same way it would the sd ? i say a sd is 100x cheaper than a new G1 if that is the case but just like last time i could be wrong
[G1 Android Development] alexdancer2:
it worked for me and i dont have data plan
[G1 Android Development] keenish27:
Couple of quick questions. I appologize if its already addressed.

Is there a way to make the HTC Mail Widget work with Gmail other than setting up a gmail account in the htc mail program?

Is the loading screen when I go back to home common? It seems to happen quite often and i'm not sure if its just me.

I overclocked my cpu to 528mhz. it seemed to help a bit but it still happens. Though I didn't use swapper.
[G1 Android Development] MonkySlap:

[G1 Android Development] Yantrio:
help

upon booting any of these roms, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and the F version aswell,

i keep getting a force close error with com.google.processes.gapps,

i get bombarded with this doing the setup, i am unable to put in my google mail information and i get it whilst opening some apps.

Also i am unable to open swapper... am i doing something wrong? if so, i would appreciate if someone would point me in the right direction,

thanks in advance,

Yantrio.
[G1 Android Development] MonkySlap:
the internal memory isnt bound to the same rules as sd. The internal flash was made to have millions(dare is say billions) of read\write cycles where sd was build more of a storage solution and not platform to run a os from.
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
swapper will cure the loading problems you have
[G1 Android Development] Chahk:
Any truth to this? Working bluetooth is pretty much the only thing that's been holding me up from trying this build. It's still not working in 2.3, correct?
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
Sorry guys but I'm at work and cant read through 300 pages!

Any speed increases between 2.2.1 and 2.3??

2.2.1 is working fine for me and I dont want to screw up a good thing. If there isnt any major speedups or changes I dont want to do it.

please advise!
[G1 Android Development] tato22:
ok so am at 2.2.1 and there is 2.3 wich one do u guys go for 2.2.1 has no problem at all and 2,3 seems to have some
[G1 Android Development] acjo0502:
Thanks

Just wanted to say thanks for all the effort, time, and hard work you've put into this rom. Its really come a long way in just a couple days. Im definitely lovin' it.
[G1 Android Development] keenish27:
Ok. Do i need to set up a 3rd partition for that? Or will swapper do everything for me? I'm not sure how to set it up.
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
needless to say thats still unnecessary read/write cycles on the internal memory no bashing of course just stating my opinion hope i didnt offend....i would much rather sacrifice a micro sd card and buy one with a larger capacity for 20 $ Than the internal flash, but this is one of many instances where the saying "to each his own" comes into play. idk im not impatient seeing as how ive dealt with almost every hero release. But i would rather not wait for touchflo to load up everytime i press home. again i mean no offense just stating opinions
[G1 Android Development] roguespy0:
I am on 2.3 and loving it. I have not had any load time when going to home screen. This is a build I can live with. I went from a ext2 to ext3 and it seems to have made things run alot smoother. For me this is the smoothest it has ever been.
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Even if it's writing once a second, these cards have wear leveling built in so it's gonna take several years for the card to degrade.
[G1 Android Development] maxisma:
none of my testsms received :(
[G1 Android Development] nicholasbithell:
Could you point me to a link where it will show me how to put the Swapper file on /data or is it just some simple commands?
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
no need for a 3rd partition ata all...swapper will create a swap file on your sd card to use as the swap space. just download swapper from the market. The default settings are a 32 MB swap file with a swappiness of 10 thats should be good just press swap on after it asks for su permissions and your good to go. It will be laggy and rough for the first few moments but it will get smooth give it a lil time
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
im assuming that the internal flash doesnt have the wear leveling ?
[G1 Android Development] blimpsrcool:
Have you tried a wiping and reflashing the rom? I had the same problem, had to wipe and reflash about 3 times. Worked for me after that. Don't quite know what was wrong but maybe it wasn't writing a cartain file or link.
[G1 Android Development] jawash22:
You would have to setup Gmail in HTC Mail.....defeats the purpose because you won"t get auto-sync though...haha...I was thinking same thing cuz I love the Touchflo look for mail.:)
[G1 Android Development] JackD3ath:
swapper app will ask where to put it, /system/sd i believe is how you put it on the ext 3 partition. Someone please correct if i am wrong.

Great job on the build! Developement seems to be chugging along.
[G1 Android Development] keenish27:
Thanks so much. I'm setting it up now and i'll see how it runs.
[G1 Android Development] namelessted:
Yep, just woke up this morning and this fix works. Very simple fix, thank you.
[G1 Android Development] Jerzdre:
i have a question... i have SDK on my MAC how would i execute that on my MAC terminal so i wont have 2 do it from my pHONE
[G1 Android Development] keenish27:
swapper seemed to have fixed the problem. This rom is awesome.

The only problem i have is that my wifi seems finiky. It took me about 6 tries to connect to my wifi at work. It has wpa2 encryption, so i dunno if that makes a difference. Now it seems to work in bursts. Just find it odd.

Other than that this rom rocks!

keep up the great work.

[2.3] process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly

I'm getting a "com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly" when I flash JAC 2.3.

I've tried:

1. re-wipe, re-flash

2. re-install radio

The weird thing is that 2.2.1 and Cyanogen 3.4.6 both flash just fine, so I'm thinking there is something that JAC picked up when he merged the Hero builds in 2.3.

Any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] sojizy:
srry but was wondering how to prevent the htc symbol from coming up when i hit the home button
[G1 Android Development] minogue:
Wooohoo... ok so i just downloaded the latest version of JacHero... 2.3

i got rid of everything i dont need, mostly widgets and a few apps, changed the boot.mp3--signed the file and put it in my sdcard... flashed it and it worked just great!

Yay...

no more need to run commands.. getting rid of things manually from zip and then signing is much easier...
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
I was getting the same thing. I used cyanogen's recover used alt f. I just re flashed 2.3 and now I got HTC setup wizard has stopped unexpectedly and my phone froze. There is def something wrong with these last few builds. Now my phone is constantly reboots intself.
[G1 Android Development] jay22are:
i flshed the 2.3 build and i keep getting the HERO boot up screen loop...i flashed the rom then i flashed but now it wont go all the way...i had the 2.2 build and it worked

Hi,

Has anyone seen any actually improvement with swapper? I havent noticed any
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
I give up. After all the problems i had with 2.2, now 2.3 wont install. I have tried everything. It just stops and freezes and the setup screen after choosing language preference.
[G1 Android Development] GaminKWB:
With a clean install I see a lot of loading screens and hang time.

Current setup:

My CPU is overclocked to 528/528 (down to 128/128 when screen is off). There is a free widget for this.

Swapper is set to 128/60.

Loading screens and hang time are down considerably.

However, the biggest issues I have are when switching from portrait to landscape. The system just doesn't like it. Especially when returning to home from an app and you are in landscape. Same thing with unlocking the phone in landscape (only to home, not in app). Can take up to 20seconds.

Its definitely getter better, but its not yet optimal.

Hey guys,

I for one have not had a problem flashing any HERO rom on my phone, especially JAC's hero roms.

So after reading at least 3 or 4 posts on each page in this thread. I have went ahead and created a new thread with complete step by step directions, to setup your phone for a JACHero rom.

I feel very confident doing everything this way cause I have done it on two other phones the exact same way each time, and I have not had a problem with flashing JACHero roms at all, Im not saying this is a 100.00% sure fire way, but so far for me it has been.

Here is the link

Does anyone still have problems rec some of your text messages? i am still having this problem and wondering if there is a fix for this? JAC awesome work!

Hello,

i also have this problem. But i have this Probelm since the first JacHero ROM!!

I use blau.de (german carrier) and thought it is a problem of the network.

But this is now very strange! I only receive 7 message out of 10!!

Are there other peoples with the same problem?

And all of that are there any fixes??

Can it be that this is a problem because of a faulty Radio or SPL flash??
