I know it says it shortens the life, but I doubt it does that much. It probably does the same thing A2SD would- just an assumption...

Just download the apk, and change the settings to 160/ 60... It is pretty simple :D
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
Ok cool im definately going to look into this, another quick question does sd card size or class matter ??? Im still only using the stock 1gb till i get my 8gb...
[G1 Android Development] kickfliprock13:
Is the new build supposed to be 34.1mb? It just seems a little small I will try to download again in a couple minutes!
[G1 Android Development] teknomanelvis:
just beat me to it
[G1 Android Development] kickfliprock13:
yeah and then I clicked it again and it just re downloaded the beta 2 so I went to the server and it showed to beta 3 and I clicked to download it and it was still 34.1mb so I think the file must be getting uploaded as we speak or something
[G1 Android Development] teknomanelvis:
has anyone gotten the camera button and or the gallery force closed fixed yet
[G1 Android Development] fleshdeep:
Trying this out now with swapper. Once I hit swap on can i just go home or do I need to wait for "Starting" to change?
[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
Not so sure. Just check the information list and make sure that the set and swap are the amounts you want them at. If they are, you should be fine.
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
b3 is uploading now give it 15. Main change is a working camera button...proper camera angle..though not all settings work yet.
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
Gallery works in b3 and camera button works
[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
Hey JAC, I was wondering if the camera can take pictures naturally in portrait mode in b3... Thanks for all your work! Can't believe you've made this much progress!

Edit: I didn't get what you meant by camera angle, maybe that's what I'm talking about?
[G1 Android Development] bbuchacher:
downloading 1.8v3b now :)
[G1 Android Development] nick_karstedt:
Yeah, I've done all of that.
[G1 Android Development] idub81:
only problem i'm having is not being able to download from the market even after i do the chmod command
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
its in the first post. You should be asked for su of course and then move apps to the sd. You wont get anything saying its done etc (you will see some force closes but dont worry) but just wait a few minutes and reboot...thats it
[G1 Android Development] namsir:
chmod does works for me after the installation.....how about try to reinstall market.apk? and try to marketEnabler.apk see if that helps...or post a log here so people can help you out.
[G1 Android Development] big nu:
The market has several Astro file manager, OI file manager...
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
some people have ahd to chmod the /data/app-private folder too.

Testing an AUFS APPS2SD version now...will post with a handfull of other little fixes tonight
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
So i need the latest spl for this and that's it and how can i tell if i already have it?
[G1 Android Development] idub81:
tried re installing the market.apk and it still just force closes, the wierd thing is it works before i do apps2sd and after i do it everytime i try and download a program it force closes
[G1 Android Development] big nu:
Rosie

Is there a way to install rosie.apk on the sd and launch it thru an app installer, like we did the widgets? And would that help stop the constant force closes ?
[G1 Android Development] jaboswell:
You would know if you flashed it...if you dont remember flashing it than you didnt flash it.(spl)
[G1 Android Development] GT30RSUBIE:
Well said! :D
[G1 Android Development] slackberry:
Cool..thanks for the info.

I would like to know why cant this be fixed. Landscape works in everything else except the sms/mms.
[G1 Android Development] GT30RSUBIE:
Same here.
[G1 Android Development] da-slicksta:
Flash Player

It looks like the FlashPlayer.apk was left out of this build...there is FlashPlayer.odex...maybe this is why it isnt working like in the original build
[G1 Android Development] jawash22:
Video player

Confirmed....they just show up sorta transparent and don't work. Use Meridian Player or Cinema App instead.
[G1 Android Development] namsir:
Try this...

1... Boot to Recovery Terminal and delete the "system/sd/app_s", "data/app_s", "data/app".

2...Go back out to Recovery Screen by typing #"recovery" at the recovery terminal.

3...Wipe your phone

4...Apply your update.zip again.

5...Press Home + Back to reboot

It's going to take a lil time to get you to the main screen, then do the "chmod" command. Come back and tell us the result.
[G1 Android Development] slackberry:
It could be something that was left out of the original beta build, but I'd assume it shouldnt be that hard to fix. (if you know what you're doing)
[G1 Android Development] jayb222:
Apps2sd works just fine. it says it force closes. When it does just click wait. When the button you hit turns gray, it's done. (it should be green while it's working). Now reboot. do the same for dalvik cache and you're good to go.

This should be on the first page.:) Alot people are thinkig it doesn't work.
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
switched to this build for speed and hoping flash/facebook photos work, just read through that flash isnt on this one and i tested it and clicking facebook photos from a contact crashes on this build too. really hope this feature gets added.
[G1 Android Development] The Great NY:
can i get a walk thru of how to get market working? i know CHMOD 777, but can i get a complete walk thru from "SU" to the end?
[G1 Android Development] idub81:
tried that and still force closes
[G1 Android Development] Lou2serious:
Is 1.8bv3 overclocked?? Seems a little slow compared to previous versions.
[G1 Android Development] Mi|enko:
I am using 1.8b1 and just realized that it's been running at 384. Not sure if it was supposed to be OC'd out the door or not, but OCing it myself has made a huge difference.
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
I think you are going to far with those settings, 16/10 is more realistic than 160/60 :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] jigdagod:
Man iafter using the swapper my phone is moving with Ion like speeds. I'm using 128/32 I think I'm using it correctly. I haven't had a Load screen with Rosie yet. Thanks JAC
[G1 Android Development] sdrewh:
I know I am going to sound like a total noob here but with the swapper you intall then run? Or do you have to run through terminal or anything?
[G1 Android Development] clr822:
wow swapper really makes a differance im even using weather widget and have not had load screen yet wow oh and the large music widget has well sd cards are cheap who cares if it tears for this speed:D
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
can any1 confirm swapper not showing in task manager plz? thks
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
once swapper has been run it is all a system process managing the swap, swapper doesnt need to be running
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
understood, thanks a lot for the clarification:)
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
has anyone managed to get rosie app list to stay in list view even after rosie has been closed, it keeps reverting to grid view for me
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:
how exactly does swapper work?

like how do we use the app?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Download app from market.

I use 128 MB and 60 swappiness in settings.

Turn on.

Enjoy.
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:
i figured it out, i use the same setting my the build runs perfect with widgets, on 5 screens.
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
yes, for me it stays as I leave it, grid or list
[G1 Android Development] halla29:
1.8v3

Has anyone used 1.8v3 yet? Whats swappiness? I'm still using 1.8v2. Halla
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:
Swapper is an app that assist in speeding up the build, now Rosie is perfect.
[G1 Android Development] custom374:
I have to say I am very impressed with this new build. Swapper makes is so I have not seen a loading screen yet. And that is with Trying to bog it down!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
when i set as list, if rosie is closed it reverts to grid
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:
anyone have this problem w/ swapper?

I tried turning Swapper off, by pressing swap off, but when i press get info, its still swapping.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
reboot, retry, repeat!
[G1 Android Development] halla29:
adb or another metthod.

Can any help me adb the vertual keyboard from 1.72 into 1.8v2 I really like it. I just started with adb. I tried to do it myself last night but couldn't get it working. Yall know my name Halls.lol.
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:
i didnt want to reboot with swapper still running.
[G1 Android Development] razzle93:
fully excellent

of course there are the minor bugs but over all i find that this is the fastest and most stable yet im even running an 8 gig class 4 with very minor lag on the newest experimental build....i love swapper....when i get the class 6 this will fly:)
[G1 Android Development] halla29:

[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
Hey c,

You mentioned swapped is hard on the sd. Does this mean it could just destroy It In days or will it just shorten its life? Also, is it useful for those without a ton of apps? Does it improve performance generally? Thanks man
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
The newer SD cards are a lot more resilient (I talked to the developer in Latvia via email) and using swapper shouldn't wear them down too quickly! Which is good news.

In essence, Swapper creates extra RAM in which to cache data not in use. Whereas it used to kill it off (hence Rosie loading times and lag) it is now cached - ready and waiting for you when you press "Home." It will improve the general stability of Rosie.

It is useful for Rosie, and for those who like Rosie widgets!
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Swapper

im on the stock 1 gig SDcard lol should i use swapper?

im on 1.8b2 and hes already came out with 1.8b3 lol Jac ur something else :D

Anyone on 1.8b3? what are some differences?

Also what are the Cons of The Swapper app?

Thanks :D
[G1 Android Development] Blue*lable:
The swaper app will kill the memory life. Some cheap memory might not survive Swapper and might not live for long. Swapper works like a driver defrager
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
guys please, do Not make this a "swapper" thread.

there is already help in the official thread related to swapper:

[G1 Android Development] madunix:
reeaaalll quick question, when u guys installed this jachero rom... those of you that did apps2sd with the .apk file that came with the rom, did you guys just only do the apps? or u did the apps with the dalvik? also once u guys completed that and rebooted, how much internal memory were u left with? i ended up with like 16mb only... i have a 8gb sdhc class 6 sdcard, please lemme know as i wanna get my phone good, swapper,apps2sd,rosie,overclock, the whole nine yards. also, did u guys do copy existing apps as well?
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
I ended up with 52MB after installing few more apps, but yes, you better do dalvik as well and reboot

EDIT: dont forget to click "copy apps" when doing apps2sd otherwise the existing apps will remain in the system mem, probably thats why you have 16MB left
[G1 Android Development] tato22:
is everything working good and fast on the last one he took out
[G1 Android Development] madunix:
ty very much

also, sorry guys. i have windows vista here at work, whats a good partitioning program for vista? i usually do all of this at home with xp but in all honesty i can't wait lol, i already have the ext2 partition but i need to format it and start from a clean slate... thanks in advance for whoever helps.
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
Paragon Partition Manager:)
[G1 Android Development] madunix:
ty soo much, i kept looking up partition magic on ishunt.com n none of them were for vista.. lol
[G1 Android Development] Lou2serious:
Try to use "advanced task manager" or "close everything 2" to stop swapper from running, these apps are in the market.
[G1 Android Development] Lou2serious:
@juangil

Looking at your stats i see that you use a mac. What do you use to partition your sdcard to ext2?? I have a macbook and i installed ext2fs and i cant figure out how to create the ext partition with th disk utility. Any advice would be greatly appreciated,

thanks

Google Maps issues

Whenever I go into google maps and selct my location it says that my location is temporarly unavailable. Also the new voice search does not come included. I'm going to see if it works in the other home launcher. By the way has anyone noticed that there is no voice search feature included in any of the hero Roms. Not to mention that one of my most favorete features is missing also ( watching youtube videos in HQ ) Bummer.
[G1 Android Development] halla29:
Using adb.

I have question cause I'm new to adb. When using adb to push or pull apps apks. And stuff does my phone's memory card have to be mounted or just pluged in.? Yall know the name halla. Lol thanks.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
just make sure your phone is plugged into your computer via usb and usb debugging is on. I have always referred to it as "semi-mounting"
[G1 Android Development] halla29:
Thanks very much.

Swapper with autostart support added to b3. Swapp v 0.1.1

It should ask you for SU perms before setup runs

Uninstall and install the latest if you already have flashed 1.8b3

[G1 Android Development] mjb337:
thankz bro
[G1 Android Development] tengtengvn:
I wiped before update to b3.

I have some issues with swapper. Set to 32MB, turn Swap On. When I go back and hit Get Information, it shows that swap: 0 KB, used:0, free:0.:confused:

Also, can you bring the HTC Music Widget back. We used to have it in 1.6x. Everything else works great.

JACHero is the best. Thanks!:D

need help with error

Cant update. I get an error E:cant chown/mod /system/xbin (no such file or directory) E: Failure at line 12: set_perm_recursive 0 2000 0755 0 6755 SYSTEM:xbin

Install aborted.

Anyone have any ideas? I did wipe all data before I attempted this

*** I tried downloading the file again thinking it was a bad download but received the same error. I have the latest radio flash and new spl.. still no go. Can anyone help me?
[G1 Android Development] dbhatesyou:
have you formatted your sdcard again, are you on the new 1.2 recovery img? try repairing ext's wipe again, then try updating...
[G1 Android Development] madunix:
download this spl

https://www.digital-bit.ch/g1devel/6.0-spl-signed.zip

save to the root of your sdcard

rename it to update.zip

reboot phone

hold home+power

alt + s

reboot

home+power

now install your new rom that you wanna install, if your screen freezes on the google 1 screen, let it sit there for about 5-10 and if it still stays there, remove the battery and keep trying, it'll eventually load, took me 2 reboots to get it loaded up.

if u only have 1 sdcard

rename ur JACHero ROM to update1.zip and your spl i linked u to to update.zip (keep them both on the root of ur sdcard)

apply ur update.zip (the new spl) MAKE SURE YOU ALREADY UPGRADING YOUR RADIO BEFORE YOU DO THIS

go to console afterwards

hit enter

ls

cd sdcard

rm update.zip

mv update1.zip update.zip

reboot

home+power

alt+s

and everything should work out fine for you.
[G1 Android Development] madunix:
ahhh i'm losing my mind...

ok guys, hopeully this could be the last piece of advice i seek, the search feature sucks and i can't ever find the post i read before...

ok, i got the 1.8b3 installed finally, it's working.

i did apps2sd data+dalvik

swappiness set to the programs reccomended settings..

overclocked to 528

my only question is, i remember reading somewhere about the app_s folder from the update.zip needs to be adb push or some****? my rosie crashes a ew times, and i got a few messed up widgets, i'm sure i can figure it out on how to fix it if i really researched, but anyone care to save me the time and hassle? i've gotten soo far and all i wanna do is have this rom run the way it should be. i want the weather widget to work and music world lock etc.. either link me or just gimme a quick down n dirty pls? :) thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] walkloc:
I did.. Do I need anything more then the FAT32 format? I do have the 1.2 recovery and just tried repairing the ext's and another wipe... still the same error. I get the same error with this rom and the SuperHero V2 that one just says line 19 instead of line 12
[G1 Android Development] madunix:
it's your spl, trust me i had the same problem, follow the instructions i just let you, it should work like a charm.

[G1 Android Development] phatman81:
I think i have foun d out why Power Manager and other apps do not work properly after a wipe/install and then using APPS2SD, but i need someone a little more familiar with android to verify it...

When you look in the /data/app folder, power manager, where's my android, androzip (and any other app that does not work afterwards) all seem to have a .ZIP extension as opposed to .APK This make sense?
[G1 Android Development] madunix:
go back a page or 2, i quoted your problem with a possible solution, i also linked u to the proper spl
[G1 Android Development] ownjoouk:
I have to say, this is the best I have seen Hero! Well done JAC and CO. Massive thumbs up on this one!
[G1 Android Development] dbhatesyou:
if you have the 26I radio , then update the spl from the first page, should go to the saphire port dream page, get the spl from there, flash it over, and then try the jachero rom again.
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
you have to install the music apk, its in the widget downloads.
[G1 Android Development] madunix:
that's the spl i was getting those errors on, and i downloaded the other one i linked him to and it worked. soo idk if it was just my luck that the spl from the first page of this thread didn't work or it's actually not the correct one.

[G1 Android Development] oldsk00lz:
I have been playing with 1.72, and so far so good... will need to chisel some time in the next few days to get the 1.8x going.

Most the issues I have seen have already been reported, but here goes a small list of what I rememer.

- right-alt not always working.

- Install

Hmmm, this one was a pain in the butt (never had issues on past ones). The first install required me to wipe my EXT2. install went fine. I then did a switch to Rogers for a day, and then had to reformat my EXT3 upond returning to JAC. I did a number of passes including wipes, reformatting sdcard a number of times (as EXT3), etc. Ended up having to boot up with no apps2sd, and then reformat the ext3 again. Then it finally took.

- Browser

The browser did start behaving a little like some early 1.0 releases where I would multi-task somewhere to paste some notes, and when I went back, it would jump to the previous google search results versus the XDA page I was on. Kind of a pain to renavigate back into this thread. Once i started a new session it started working, as expected.

- Battery life.

I restarted last night and had it plugged in. I only got about 6 hours running Rosie w/ google clock, Wifi, HTC calendar widget, and exchange doing activesync on arrival. No browsing and no gps running. Hmmmm, just saw that location by wireless networks had gotten set.

- Wifi

In previous releases it would disconnect and sometiems not relog into the personal wifi, even when manually doing it. This build hasn't had that issue.

-Dialer

At one point it took 15+sec to load. I had to use my landline for a meeting due to the delay. It wasn;t my first time into dialer. Possibly swapper will help.

-Rosie

Definitely faster!!! But did occasionally take the 10+sec loading time.

-Exchange Sync

1) Still not including original message in the replies. Anyone else able to do this?

2) If you don't set up exchange on the setup, then it was failing later when doing it as it. logcat showed it was erroring out when trying to delete the existing account (which wasn't there).

I had tried the Dude's Rogers ROM, and actually missed JAC's Hero!!!! Things like the Calendar are nice than the standard apps. The Exchange was not able to authenticate on the Dude's rev (after it verifies account and shows folders), but is working fine in JAC Hero.

Will definitely be trying to new revs this week.

[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
Does anyone know the size (example 320 x 480) and format (GIF JPEG) of the wallpaper ?
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
ok

so im at 1.8b2 and i already have swapper installed (1.1) should i uninstall then update to the 1.8b3?
[G1 Android Development] chrisrj28:
The wallpaper I believe is the standard 620x480.
[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
It's 640x480, not 620, I believe :D
[G1 Android Development] chrisrj28:
Ok I think that is right, knew I was close
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
is it just my phone

or is it whenever your listening to music and someone txts you all audio completly stops? whenever im listening to music through the headset and someone txts me my phone will vibrate or whatever and the music will completely stop playing. 1.8b2
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
Okay, have you had this issue in other Hero builds?

I don't use the audio much so i havent ran into it.

I have had a few other complaints though.
[G1 Android Development] cjlyrix:
twisted hero is the same way.. the only one i didnt have this issue with is 1.7 down and haykuro

i also had this problem when i had media2sd

and um... swapper.apk.. isnt this app really really really bad for ur sd? i just have it sitting there staring at it.. i havent even opened it.. i have a 4gb san disk c6
[G1 Android Development] mikeyman77:
It will shorten your sd card life but it will still last a year or two.
[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
As long as it lasts for a year, it should be fine. Micro SD cards are really cheap, and I think they are gonna be at this price for a while, if not get cheaper.

---

One other thing I noticed after using the NES application, nesoid.

After using it and going back to the homescreen, there is a graphic distortion in the bottom lefthand corner which appears like a 5th of the bottom bar was cut out and rotated in place... weird looking, but disappears after I restart rosie manually through adv task manager. Haven't seen it with any other apps yet
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
um i think in 1.72 the same thing also but every 1.8 yes.

Also Great Job man :D
