Okay, I installed 1.8v4 last night (with a wipe and reformat of ext3), and it was really fast! There are still some slow downs when scrolling occasionally. I went ahead and did a Backup for Root restore of my APKs, and recycled to see all my apps. A little more slowdown, but overall still big improvement over 7.2.

6 hours later when I got up, it was really slow. Browser on wireless was rendering like I was on Edge. Rosie started working really slow. I had to reboot it was so bad.

After reboot, it was still acting up. I upped the swapper to 128/60, and changed the overclock minimum up to 527.

It's been running pretty good.

* Exchange include original not working. Not sure if this can even be fixed without updating the app.

* Browser is on/off kinda slow

* Still get some Rosie Loading, but less force closes.

* I miss the original Rosie background so will need to look at the set wallpaper app to get it installed.

Anyone know if HTC:

a) is releasing their source code for Mail, Rosie, or other parts of their framework, or is this "closed" source?

b) will have updates to their apps on their website?

c) plan to allow the various phones to update to their latest framework?

It will be nice to get the optimized released Hero ROM to work from. We may face some of teh same challenges, but hopefully memory leaks and general bugginess will be worked out.

Yeah, the reformat/reinstall did the trick. Thanks again juangil!

This is a pretty big issue I didnt notice till now :(

To make Snesdroid work again just reinstall it dude :D

That happens on all of them you have to reinstall the verision back over with appsinstaller if your running the apk. if not just reinstall from market thats all.

Also this build is almost too good :D

i have all the widgets on everyscreen and i flip through them lag free :D

and i dont even think my swapper is running yet lol :D

i think for the frequencies everyone should set it to this using setcpu Max 528 Min 128 nd also the best setcpu seems to be the 1.20 version

the Current frequency usually stays at 245 and thats full speed for rosie for some reason :D and swapper have 128/60

Hope ive helped for people having speed issues or want to run it faster

Also on a quick note im on the Sdcard that came with my phone. The old 1 gig sdcard. No High Gig special class Sdcard just the small basic :D

Check out this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=471653&highlight=move+cache+sd It's very easy to do and saves a lot of memory b/c I know browser & market eat a lot.
[G1 Android Development] 3lm3jor:
with 1.8bv4 i get foreclose all the time by the way i tranfer from the haykuro hero build
[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
Maybe try formatting your partition first if you use a2sd... The build should be working fine actually
[G1 Android Development] oldsk00lz:
Hey Shaquiel,

How long have you had this ROM installed? What is your uptime since last reboot? I usually started seeing permormance issues after about 8 - 24 hours.

I think the higher swapper numbers do help. I had to push my minimum CPU up though to get really good performance as time passes.

JAC - sound issues?

Okay, I have noticed this issue across JAC builds.

When I am using my headset or speakerphone for a phone call, the other party is complaining that I am cutting out or have a low volume. This forces me to use the handset for calls.

Prior to 1.8bv4 I would also hear the other party cut out,a nd I'd have to disable the headphone or speakerphone and have them repeat what they just said.

** Is this a common issue and being worked on?

** Does any of the Meltus sound mods remedy this?

---------------------------------------------------------

Another quick issue.

My Email notifications were not working. I had to go back in and reselect the sound in order for it to start working. I think I had seen someone post this issue on earlier revs.

** Anyone know what's up with this?

--------------------------------------------------------

Finally, I haven't praised JustAnotherCrowd in some time, so wanted to say:

"Thanks bud.... you are doing a great job making this stable for the G1!"

[G1 Android Development] Henchman:
Can someone tell me why exchange and IM are not showing up as apps in this build?

Actually, the Mail app (not Gmail0 is not showing up at all.
[G1 Android Development] chrisrj28:
Just pull them from an earlier build and install the .apk files.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Hmm its been a few days now. About since the rom was released.

I just rebooted about 2 times for no apparent reason to see if it would start lagging but No not yet. Ive rebooted multiple times now. Also not setting the cpu to Max always Helps too.

Really? its like for me whenever i have the minimum cpu up it slows down for me idk.

And really? Some has said that having lower swipe numbers improve it better since it doesent need THAT much to run But ill try your Suggestions :D
[G1 Android Development] truthkilla:
DUDE THANKS! I'll try it again tonight!
[G1 Android Development] truthkilla:
Good looking I'm going to try it in a few! THANKS!

Speaker issue

Is anyone else experiencing low speaker volume when the phone rings and when trying to use speaker phone?
[G1 Android Development] danielherrero:
Hi

Sorry if it was discussed before but I didnt found it

I ve installed this rom several times. Latest radio, spl and correct recovery image. The flash goes correct and setup. Then all go very slow. When I try to open settings program or any other program the screen goes blank and again today screeen. If I keep pressed home button I can see the tasks so they werent killed. Finally I restart the device and the android logo stays for ever. I ve to reflash again and same history. My sd has 2 partitions, fat32 and ext3(800 MB). Each time I try to reflash the rom I reformat the partitions. Any idea?
[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
Well I haven't used this rom w/ any extra partitions yet, because I don't use A2Sd, so my suggestion would be to try installing it with a blank SD card without any partitions and check if you get the same errors. If the phone is still slow the problem is somewhere deeper and not an A2SD problem
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
running this hero build with using launcher.apk instead of rosie.apk as the homescreen works very fast and effective =D

Hero force close

Hi guys, running Jachero 1.8bv4 any ideas why I get constant force closes with Rosie? Don't really want to take it off. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] chrisrj28:
Ummm using aan overclocking app. I use setcpu from the market but there is also overclock widget that I heard works well. Either should get it for you.
[G1 Android Development] truthkilla:
Man JAC should make this work with auto lucid script.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
It partially does work with it. But remember Lucid script was never really intended to work with Hero. It works but not completely because a lot of his scripts require a reboot after running and Rosie/Hero doesn't allow rebooting inside terminal. If you know how you can modify it to work :cool:
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
I have 128/60 swapper and i havent had any load screens or force closes, absolutely none. i dont use twitter or any of that junk but i use browser and messaging and market and prior to this version and swapper those all showed load screens for me. Just a suggestion. But my battery drains terrifyingly fast, i had 100% when I went to bed and 8 hrs later the battery bar was in the orange, i hadnt turned the phone on at any point. But it runs as smoothly as any rom ive tried.
[G1 Android Development] Jerzdre:
i have a question.

i have my mem card partitioned and im installing the widgets...do i extract alll into the SD card?or do i make a folder and extract the widgets into the folder then place in the SD card?????
[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
Hey. I've been theming hero for a couple days now and have gotten really far. I was able to change most of the green parts of hero to blue, which I really prefer.

Editing the .9.pngs takes some time, but it is possible. Now some pictures in the drawable folders are really strange, at least for me. Look at this image:

Looks normal enough and easy enough to edit, but when opening it in photoshop or any image editing software, the image changes, removing transparency and adding green pixels.

Are these images special for hero? If I make a new copy of that image that looks exactly the same, but without the distortion, will hero function normally? Weird pictures....

Any more ideas for things to change for graphics?
[G1 Android Development] zayg1:
O.K. well I flashed back to this Hero ROM and now I can do the Apps2SD thing, and when I moved my apps to my sd card none of the apps work anymore. I try to open them and the only apps that still work is the Browser & Market :(
[G1 Android Development] amd85:
I am using 1.8b4, I have tried putting pictures with my contact but it always tell me that i have no pictures in my sd card. Even if i use the camera function to take picture it seems it doesnt stick on my contacts. I am sure that i have pictures in my sd card and the recent pictures that i have taken are all in the memory card.

Anyone found a way to put pictures in your contact? Thank you..
[G1 Android Development] zayg1:
Wait a minute -

Does this mean I never had to use the APPS2SD app to move my apps cuz they were already moved? and does that mean if I download more apps from the market I dtill won't have to move them because they will be done automatically?
[G1 Android Development] amd85:
Yes and yes
[G1 Android Development] chrisrj28:
Dude i answered this same question like two pages ago. This is an issue with all Hero builds. There is no fix yet b/c it's not a high priority. Just add them online on your google account
[G1 Android Development] amd85:
My apology didnt see your answer from 3 pages ago. I just used my non modded G1 and did it from that phone and sync it. Now i put the sim card on my G1 with 1.8b4 and now i have it. Its a pain but it works...
[G1 Android Development] doubleokneegro:
its the folder that you have to change i believe... or it should just work... i remember the folder should be /sdcard/DCIM/100Andro or 100media, but it should show up in the gallery.

try taking a picture n see if it doesnt all come back
[G1 Android Development] amd85:
I did that and it didnt work, but according to chris it's a known issue so i just have to do it on my gmail account to add some pics.
[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
This is a bug that has been with all JACHero, if not all Hero roms. As far as I know it is unfixable for now, unless you want to go back to an old rom, change the picture, then update.
[G1 Android Development] ajsingh27:
I installed the newest version and i'm still having a problem with the speed. It seems like this new version should have resolved most of the the lag, but for me its still there. Also, with the apps2sd, when i move over the cache all the apps force close (though i don't have a problem when i move apps2sd). What's the reasoning for this?
[G1 Android Development] watso4183:
Overclocking

I am loving this, but feel like it's lagging. (Overclocked to 384min 384max. Can I go higher, or should I go lower to avoid damage?)

Are there elements that can be removed or processes disabled to increase speed?
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
i want to try out this rom, but im a bit afraid of flashing the "new spl" basically to avoid bricking i just gotta flash the radio before hand correct? (btw. i already have the new radio) nothing else to worry about?
[G1 Android Development] Mi|enko:
So, interesting occurrence tonight. Everything's been running fine, without incident; however, today my battery was almost dead (nothing outta the norm, just alot of use). What's weird is, I started getting errors about apps crashing. So, I plugged it in and rebooted, and now it's pretty much as if I did a hard reset. That seem odd to anybody else?

Ps. Additionally, it would appear that neither partition crashed, as everything was still there upon reboot. The phone's just acting like I did a wipe. :-\

Edit. Well, apparently disregard. Rebooted again after a little charging and all is back to normal. . . weird.
[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
You can overclock it to 528 to get even faster. It works well like that, and even better when you use higher levels for Swapper, like 128/60.

Those are my settings, and I'm really happy with my phone.

@tinyaznboi. Don't worry about the SPL really. Just make sure you have the radio and the right type of board, either PVT or DVT, can't remember. Go to the thread "lets fix that spl" to find a noob guide in the 2nd or 3rd post
[G1 Android Development] emat:
Hi folks,

I have just flash that new ROM coming from Haykuro's.

I really lose the fluidity and UI but I have some major issues as I can't connect to the market.

a) Each time, I try to connect to the market, it asks me if I accept teh terms and conditions. Press OK and enter and endless rotating icons.

b) I don't have google map installed and very few appli available (app2sd, browser, dialer, market, message, people, settings and SU)

c) when connect to the browser,

d) Can't access PC synch in data synch. I have the following message : application settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly.

I have gone through that thread but didn't find anything fitting with my description.

Any idea ?
[G1 Android Development] jhood99:
I finally installed this rom

But I keep on getting force closes. . Rosie always has to be force closed when I exit the browser. Did i do something wrong or should i just reflash?
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
Yerp, thats what I did too. Works very well, can spend a lot of time in the browser, have the weather widget always running, etc etc...and when I press home it doesnt have to load, and when I press browser again everything is still there.

I wonder how long my card will last.
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
I did this using the terminal and it worked i got this from the Haykuro apps2SD guide. The only problem i have with this is the twitter widget when you update force closes rosie. Is there a reason this is so easy worked with one minor draw back and nothing else is working for me?

1.busybox df -h

look for /system/sd on one of the lines, if you see it continue, if not, something is wrong with your partitioning, start at the top.

1.busybox cp -a /data/app /system/sd

2.busybox rm -r /data/app

3.busybox ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app
[G1 Android Development] superg05:
and this was done where during the loop using adp or terminal ok lets try some slow steping stone to help others ll

installation

apps2sdv1 after moving apps u did this or what

?dalvik? how and where did u fix this loop
[G1 Android Development] AGx-07_162:
Of them all this has been the only method that has actually worked for me. Too bad I'm gonna have to do it again when I get a bigger SD card. I tested this out on an old 512MB card I had leftover from my Tmo Dash days. Rebooting after doing the A2SD part and I'm hoping all goes well.....hey look at that my phone booted up! Thanks for this.
[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
i can't get a2sd to work doing it manually from the tutorial either.
[G1 Android Development] german129:
I just want to suggest adding a change log to the first page. It could be usefull.
[G1 Android Development] mer6:
Can't get it going with manup's thing either. Causes the same boot loop. Reflashing :}

This is fun hehe.
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Wow, ya I'd suggest everyone just wait till he gets this settled. Right now it sounds like his build is pretty broken.

To Manup: once all this is settled, unionfs will be the only method for appstosd and hopefully he'll make it automatic so there won't be any setup required with the scripts. If you have the app directory on your sd card it'll just put them there automatically, like it does on cyanogen's and TheDude's builds
[G1 Android Development] superg05:
ok im going back to 1.4trying commands at still cant download from market need only one app appsinstaller to install apps2sd 2
[G1 Android Development] superg05:
yeah that would be better if it installed apps and cache to sd right off the back during installation eliminating the need to use apps2sd at all
[G1 Android Development] lunchboxofomni:
is there a way to replace the audio folder on system/media/audio with the one I download on my sd card?
[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
daproy just released a new kernal to fix the problems

http://drop.io/tgbvqky
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
I didn't use the apps2sd app at all for my hero build. I used lucidREM's script. Worked like a charm. I also backed up my downloaded apps from Ion and then copied them over to /system/sd/app and have all of my other apps. Market downloads work perfectly also. And surprisingly this is the fastest build I've used yet (I'm using launcher.apk as my default home, until rosie gets faster)
[G1 Android Development] AGx-07_162:
Well it almost worked. Everything seemed fine except the V-Keyboard would not come up.

Edit: I uninstalled and then re-installed the HTC_IME.apk and the phone went crazy. The Package installer force closed, then Astro force closed the Rosie went into a force closing loop. So I powered off and restarted now everything seems to be fine and I emphasize seems to >_>
[G1 Android Development] superg05:
how do u apply this new kernal do u flash it like update.zip or what?? :D
[G1 Android Development] superg05:

[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
If you exit while the keyboard is flipped this may happen because rosie has no landscape orientation.

whats with the 3 different 8.4v on jac's site,

8.4 orig

i got the ophone one but nothing seems diff for me except the cool blue buttons, was that the only difference?
[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
If you are coming with a partitioned card, make sure you have a fresh formatted EXT2/EXT3 partition. This can cause problems.

Try using the app Swapper. It should be preinstalled, but most of the time, it doesn't start. Just go to the app, change the settings (I prefer 128/60) and hit swap on. This will reduce Rosie force closures for sure.

If not, try reinstalling without any partitions, as I did. It should be working fine. I just updated, and haven't gotten a single force close at all.

Feel free to pm me or ask for more help

@teknomanelvis, The ophone update is only graphics. I'm currently working on a theme change also similar to the ophone update, but the ophone update right now is kinda messy. Many files were replaced and randomly added, so it isn't clean yet. There are a couple oddities. Try getting a pop up window somehow, and you'll see something messed up
[G1 Android Development] airiyon:
Guessing this is to get all the extra ringtones and etc? Cause I installed 1.8b4 (working smooth btw, great job) but when I click ringtones there aren't any.

3rd partition for swapper swap-fs 32MB

I just Added a third partition to my 8GB class 6, as this still experimental

the 3rd partition is done after the EXT2/3 and its 32MB in size, the format is swap-fs and it will be used for swapper
[G1 Android Development] komposure85:
please keep us informed of the performance wit thsi setup. I was thinking of doing the same thing in order to handle the swapper functionality separately
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
kool, I just re-sized to 24Mb I think it was too big, had to remove the included swapper as well

I'll keep playing with it
[G1 Android Development] komposure85:
did you encounter a lag issue which led you to believe the partition was too large?
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
nope, I did not(edited) play long enough with it but I know the larger the swap size the slower will work, I just thought 24MB will be safer.. not too big, not too small

EDIT: so far its snappy!! GREAT!
[G1 Android Development] komposure85:
gotcha.... thanks for the info .....adding the additional partition now
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
I thought it was a good idea too, that way you increase speed (in theory) and avoid the corruption of the sdcard when mounted while the swapper its running

EDIT: one thing I encounter: swapper doesn't stay on after reboot, you have to do abd shell swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 to restart it

EDIT2: really really happy with this new method, I havent seen a lag on Rosie, dialer pops up right away (only the first time takes a sec), weather, HTC Clock widget and bookmarks on 3 diff screens and working good. I deleted all cities from weather widget and added 3 only
[G1 Android Development] komposure85:
same here....I have each screen loaded with items (for testing purposes) and so far things are working well.....after leaving this on for a length of time I will see if there is an eventual slow down effect. I went with your second size of 24mb and I think I will keep it there since the performance is outstanding and things are flowing very well right now
