Stuck

I'm running into this too, I've wiped and rebooted, still no luck.

It's probably something stupid I forgot to do. Any ideas?

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
I had the same problem, slow, laggy, and the htc logo when hitting the back button. I just rebooted and when i turned it back on, bam! It was running like it was made for this phone.
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:
thats weird because i have almost no lag, and i dont have swapper or overclocking on.

I did remove a few apk's from data/app_s, and system/sd/app

i guess that helps alot.
[G1 Android Development] chrisrj28:
Has anyone had trouble moving Dalvik-Cache to sd? I am using 2.1 and I know app & app-private are there automatically but when I run lucid script it says dalvik-cache is not linked. I try to re-link it and it says /data/dalvik-cache is busy.

And I have only 30mb free. What are you all getting?
[G1 Android Development] jaboswell:
download link for 2.1b wont work....if i got to the Index of the page there is a 2.1f available to download...is that what it is, just a bad link?
[G1 Android Development] rock187:
i have some problem with jac 2.1 i can't find a market and i can t sync g1 with gmail and contact.. cause in the menu i can't press syncronize.. but the rom is too fast good job guys
[G1 Android Development] jigdagod:
No, the F is for Fatality version he did. And 2.1b isn't up yet or he took it down
[G1 Android Development] MonkySlap:
Dalcik-cache is its own mount point. if you type df in terminal or adb you see /dalvik-cache mounted to /system/sd. Took me a bit to figure this out because i was trying to figure out why dalvik kept reverting back to /data after a reboot.
[G1 Android Development] jaboswell:
I just realized that..lol..thanks...ill be flashing real soon!!!
[G1 Android Development] cidica:
Not sure if this have been posted before. But I just noticed the "Time" on the lock screen while in landscape mode is messed up. Here is a screenshot of it.
[G1 Android Development] seanhassars:
I thought the same thing when I flashed last night, I was too tired to mess around and flash back to another build, and I had read that it goes super slow when you first get it running because all the syncing it's doing. Well, I wake up this morning and everything is running smoothly. I still get the occasional HTC screen, but I'm not having to deal with Loading anymore.

the only problem I'm having now is the text issue previously mentioned.
[G1 Android Development] CharlieBP:
Amazing,

Installed this build this morning (which went exceptionally good, except for some crashing apps in the beginning). Have been busy all day though to get it working at a normal pace, until reading a comment here to set Swapper up at 256 MB and Swappiness at 60. From then on all goes fluently, so I indeed suggest, like a few others already have, to choose those settings for this build.
[G1 Android Development] chrisrj28:
Yeah when I ls -l /system/sd I see dalvik-cache there but when I run lucid script it was saying not linked. it always said linked before. So is there anyway to stop it from reverting back to /data?

And what should my free memory be?
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
everything is running very smoothly after removing unneeded apps / widgets

overclocked with SetCPU

and using swap

no loading htc / loading screen when pressed home

i have 40mb free internal after moving dalvik-cache to SD

lets just hope battery life is decent with this :/
[G1 Android Development] MonkySlap:
you dont need to do anything. /data/dalvik-cache is a mount pointed to /system/sd. you are seeing 30 megs free because app_s is a pig and takes up most of the space on /data
[G1 Android Development] chrisrj28:
So how did you move Dalvik? When I try using lucid through terminal I get dalvik is busy.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
i used Apps 2 SD app

should work fine.
[G1 Android Development] komposure85:
I'll be the first to say that I'm not sure why I have not experienced most of the issues that have been reported here. "My secret" is this.....for every rom that i palce on my device I perform a complete format of my partition, execute a wipe, flash and just hope for the best in terms of performance.

I have used the swapper application in the past and I have even used the alternate swapper technique,,,but since I have actually worked with mobile devices and sd/micro sd cards....I know what the extra r/w can do to the life of a card...

nevertheless, I am not doing anything special...my device is just performing on the high end of the curve in terms of handling this build

but i am curious about others who report the same thing....in case there is some "magic" involved
[G1 Android Development] MonkySlap:
just type df into terminal and you will see what i mean about dalvik cache.
[G1 Android Development] jaboswell:
Mine has been like that in landscape mode ever since I started using the first Hero build by JAC
[G1 Android Development] Senorkabob:
Not to mention, they all get out of whack with the times.

I've had a few come in saying it was 10 minutes later than what my clock says...
[G1 Android Development] chrisrj28:
Yeah apps2sd app just force closed on me
[G1 Android Development] lilwill2806:
hey does anyone have a working link to his last update it appears to be invalid. i would like to flash and test ive been up since 5 this morning testing the other

[G1 Android Development] MonkySlap:
ok getting a little frustrated here. You do not need to move dalvik-cache to sd because it is already there. see my above post for verification.
[G1 Android Development] Jak Crow:
My experience with using JAC's ROM: every time the system has to spend a minute coming back to the home screen from just about any app is the show stopper for me. Is this being addressed at all or is this the norm of using the Hero ROM on the Dream?
[G1 Android Development] chunga:
yeah this sucks... I went to ionR2 again.. and that's speed LOL . I really like hero gui, but come on... today a friend ask me to give him a phone number, and I said "just a sec" ... or maybe just a minute.. the hero build is sluggish.

maybe the devs are going to find out memory a solution:o
[G1 Android Development] tato22:
dose any one have the 2.1b ? its not working the link that one seems to have the app problem fix
[G1 Android Development] mrshimmy:
For anyone getting long home screen loads after going from another app, try the swapper program in the market, change swap to 256 and swapiness to 60. I did this, rebooted, and it is instant to the home screen from all apps including the browser (which seemed to be the bad one for me)
[G1 Android Development] spenswa:
Link

I'm not sure but I think this may be the link http://www.justanotherdev.slackdev.com/JACHero2.1F.zip

Actually nope sorry
[G1 Android Development] komposure85:
no longer on the site at the moment
[G1 Android Development] Scridgeon:
I'm sure they will start optimizing once we have a complete working build of Hero.
[G1 Android Development] Senorkabob:
Its even more embarassing when they ahve an iPhone lol
[G1 Android Development] tato22:
yea thats the 2.1f
[G1 Android Development] chrisrj28:
No no relax I understand what you mean. I was just used to the way it's reading before. Thanks for posting the log before. I was just commenting that I tried the apps2sd before I started posting and that's the result I got. Appreciate the info :)
[G1 Android Development] MvP77:
Im quoting my own post because no one seems to read lol.

This really helped me. Its been a few hours and still hardly any lag.

When it did lag a lil i opened advance task manager and saw a ton of crap either idle or running in the background so i closed a bunch of it and it was back running smooth.
[G1 Android Development] chrisrj28:
Yeah I make heavy use of task manager too. Reminds me of WinMo days
[G1 Android Development] gnunixguy:
I agree, let them fix the bugs first, then work on speed and optimization...
[G1 Android Development] Deuces:
my review of 2.1: looks purty, still too slow
[G1 Android Development] DirectMatrix:
Not sure about this yet

I think I'm gonna go back to theDudes cupcake. I am on an endless -loading homescreen and force closing footprints/touchFLO- loop that I can't get out of even with a power cycle.... Time to reflash...
[G1 Android Development] sullitf:
I've seen it mentioned a few times but not sure how many people have done this. I gained a great deal of speed by removing Launcher.apk(and .odex) from app_s. I kept noticing "Home" running in the background and eating memory. If you only want to use rosie, which i assume is the case if you pick hero over ion, then removing Launcher.apk(.odex) causes no ill effects and will help free memory.

As for the messaging, think my post got lost a few pages back. Try sending yourself a text, it seems that this may have helped me but its too early to know for sure.

Another possible cause for lost sms messages could be the the messaging service provider on our phone is being killed to free memory. Judging by the varying results of speed with hero I'm assuming some of our phones do a better job at memory management than others. This could cause mixed results with Rosie as some of our phones kill it and some don't. The same could be true for the messaging service provider, some of our phones kill it and it is no longer available to receive text alerts from t-mobile.

Just a few shots at what the problem could be. I'm at work so I can't look too hard at it right now.
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:
just in case anyone want to know.

pornotube works with the flash player.

so if you just want to test it out. . . . .
[G1 Android Development] g1junky:
question?

2.1b isnt on the site anymore so which should i flash

2.1f

or

2.1
[G1 Android Development] MonkySlap:
its ok. wasnt you, work is crazy today and been having people come up to me all day complaining about stuff. The life of a developer i guess :P. Had my smoke and im good again lol
[G1 Android Development] tchort:
I'm on 2.1 using swapper 32/20 setting, and overclock widget at 245/528, so far works great, only issue for me is sometimes SMS not coming in.
[G1 Android Development] Grimsby:
Is there a way in Terminal to make sure the apps2sd actually worked? Or would you use something like ASTRO to see if they have moved over? (Honestly..i *did* search before asking!!)
[G1 Android Development] Scridgeon:
Ha ha. Thanks for doing the testing.
[G1 Android Development] MonkySlap:
ln -l /data
[G1 Android Development] damienallen:
For me, the following apps have no icon and force close on start:

- Gmail

- Google Maps

- YouTube

- Stocks

- Weather

- PDF Reader

- QuickOffice

- Terminal Emulator

Is this a problem with Apps2SD, and how would I go about fixing this?
[G1 Android Development] bigboibbp:
lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!! same here, im still kinda a wimo fanboy probly cuz i love touch flo so much, but i will be selling my tilt for ANOTHER g1 (so i can use it to test roms)

ahhhh... good times
[G1 Android Development] MonkySlap:
I have had that happen. to fix it you just extract /data/app from the zip file and push it to /system/sd/app.
[G1 Android Development] :
I have the exact same problem.

I'm using a G1 and moving over from the first Fatality rom.

I reformatted my SD and have yet to setup a ext partition.
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
Ok back to soulife I go the ROM is much better then all previous but def is not ready for primetime will revisit after some work is done.
[G1 Android Development] whitemonster:
Thanks for this... looks great!
[G1 Android Development] harpreet1988:
The link for 2.1b isn't working.
[G1 Android Development] fairymaru:
I tried repiaring ext filesystems but got an error cheking them...and it says Run e2fsck manually from console.

How can I do that?
[G1 Android Development] kntdookoo:
Working good so far...though as soon as my first boot...TMOBILE CALLED my phone...hmmmmm. Ill wait to see if they leave a VM.
[G1 Android Development] RaQHoliday:
Well, this works great, once i disabled Rosie...

I'd love to be able to use it with Rosie and no lag though.
[G1 Android Development] jigdagod:
For some reason I keep getting this error at various times. The process system has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

So I'm forced to reboot my phone. Anyone else having this problem?
[G1 Android Development] chunga:
spot the differences RAM/ROM

hero > 288/512

g1/g2 > 192/256

It is going to be a miracle to get G's ones performing like hero :s
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
actually i get that also :/ wonder why
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Have you paid your bill? :p
[G1 Android Development] Meltus:
nah, compare the stock G1 firmware to TheDudes or Cyanogens which run stupidly fast. We've managed to pretty much double the speed without changing anything hardware wise.

I reckon we'll get this running almost as well as on the Hero eventually :)
[G1 Android Development] Mr. Moe:
I had the same issue yesterday and what I did was go into recovery (home + power)

scroll down to the console

hit enter to get command line

type the following:

cd /tmp

mkdir 1

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /tmp/1

cd 1

ls (make sure your davlik-cache and apps directories are there and not your SDCARD partition)

rm -rf *

umount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (or umount /tmp/1)

that's it. your EXT partition should now be empty. this method doesnt require ADB or a working ROM, just the recovery SPL.

NOT MY WORK: Got this from a post from --Gnunixguy
[G1 Android Development] Mr. Moe:
After you're done, then reboot and you should be ok, but if not then go back to recovery and wipe, then alt+s to reinstall ROM. You should be fine then.
[G1 Android Development] bolmedias:
So which of the builds is better to use, JAC's own one or the Fatality merge?
[G1 Android Development] xxkingpinxx:
JACHero r2.1b linky no workey....:confused:
[G1 Android Development] kokob42:
Had the same problem with the loading of home, apps etc.

bought setcpu from market overclocked the cpu. now works really fast. you will not be disapointed.
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
in my oppinion JACs own with overclock widget and swapper app is 100% smooth and usable for everyday.
[G1 Android Development] ChrisAshton84:
Hey, does anyone know of a good rom to pull gmail.apk from? I saw someone suggest any other recent rom, but if there's one that's known to work I'd rather try that. With maps working in this new build, gmail is the only other thing I really need to keep using it.
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:
OMG, I'm watching a live web cam site on my phone , and it is showing flawlessly.

this is amazing.
[G1 Android Development] jjq13:
paid app

I need help, I can download paid app but I cant download the paid app I already have bought. What can I do?
[G1 Android Development] nephron:
2.1b link not working.
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
JAC should post the fix to the paid apps in terms of adb or shell so we can do it ourselves and not have to flash a new build...I'm going to PM him that...
[G1 Android Development] whitemonster:
yea, get the Qwik (or QIK, forgot what's it called) App from the market... it shows a live feed of your phone camera online, you can also save the videos.
[G1 Android Development] anddep:
ah grrr! i get the HTC screen alot, more then before.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
hey when u create the ext partition..its primary right ?
[G1 Android Development] startekee:
For some reason I'm getting a low memory error, even though I have apps2sd enabled and thats the reason why I can't receive messages. Is anyone else gettting low memory even with apps2sd enabled.
[G1 Android Development] komposure85:
that is correct
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
how's everyone 2.1 going? anyone gonna update to 2.1b?

im still error less lol
[G1 Android Development] whitemonster:
shouldn't need to do this... gmail app is working fine for me.
[G1 Android Development] Fatal1ty2787:
Actually G2 has 512MB of rom, it's a shame for the 192 MB of ram instead of 288 :(
[G1 Android Development] j2kquest:
try disabling the clock widget....The one that looks similiar to the diamond clock/

I took mine off and low n behold no more HTC loading screen
[G1 Android Development] jyoungn:
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cant sync contacts
[G1 Android Development] 13bjunkie:
After spending half the day so far with 2.1

Everything is running great.

Aside from not being able to dl from market

I have no cpmplaints.

This thing hauls with no errors
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:
no!

i mean, i'm online via my g1, and watching live web cam video.

and its movies fast and smooth.
[G1 Android Development] fleshdeep:
I cant sync contacts from sim either.
[G1 Android Development] ChrisAshton84:
I don't even have a gmail app installed... and I didn't have google maps either (but I got that from the market). Oddly enough I do have Gmail Storage. I did just partition for a2sd, so maybe that's screwed up? Is there some way with this build to know what it's doing for a2sd? I just created a 2nd partition, made it ext3, wiped, and reinstalled the ROM... should I also run the a2sd command in cm's recovery image or do anything else?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] Brandice128:
JAChero 2.1b

The link doesnt work for some reason, it opens up to an error whenever its click.
[G1 Android Development] rantrav:
Have you rebooted your phone since initial setup?
[G1 Android Development] fleshdeep:
How would I fix my touch input keyboard? It takes a few seconds for it to pop up when clicking a text field. Like 3-4 seconds. Use to be less than a second.
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
so far no major problems, just a couple minor including delayed ringing on incoming calls (can ring 3-4 times on callers end before i even see ive got an incoming call) and very bad battery life.
[G1 Android Development] whitemonster:
this is what I do... it's long but it works...

I flash the 1.5JF ADP build... then when it's loaded, unmount my sdcard from the phone settings and run the format (it'll format the WHOLE card to fat32), then i download appstosd 2 (2nd version, it does the partition for you but it won't work in a HERO rom). I run appstosd2 and format my fat32/ext2 to whatever size i want. (if you use this method don't force close the App! hit WAIT instead!!! Also, make sure at then end, the program will say reboot, reboot phone and you'll be all set)... when it's done you'll have a clean fat32 and ext2. Then i wipe and flash the hero build (appstosd is automatic in this build so you don't need to do anything). When it boots, everything works 100%. all apps and widgets. No issues. Just make sure you get overclockwidget set to 246/528 and get swapper (i set mine to 32/10) works great.
[G1 Android Development] bigboibbp:
alright, not that its really going to help anyone, but what i have done in the last 6 hrs besides sleep go as follows:

install rom

remove all widgets and everything off phone

restart

place widgets back on phone along with shortcuts only using 3 screens

(i tried to use widgets that didnt require internet except stock ticker, got rid of music widget and noticed performance increase)

uninstall meebo (to free up a little room)

reboot

configure swapper to 256/40 (may change swappiness to 60 as suggested)

reboot

and thats it so far, i slept for a while while it synced and it went a lil faster...

one thing we all need to remember (especially those who are going back to 1.5) is that these guys need our feedback if we ever want to have a smooth fast hero rom that feels native. big thanks to everyone involved in making this possible, and i will be in possession of a second g1 in a matter of a few days. so ill be able to use the second one for beta roms!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] brainz11203:
when u say the whole card. if i have a ext2 partition will it format everything?
[G1 Android Development] ChrisAshton84:
whitemonster, it sounds like your method is very similar to mine - though I was upgrading from JACHero 2.0b, and did the partitioning/formating manually (3.5GB FAT32 in partition 1, 512MB ext3 in partition2). I didn't have any luck with appstosd 2 actually formatting the ext2 partition, though that might have been me using it with a wrong ROM.

I tried rebooting, but no luck.

# ls /system/sd
app-private
dalvik-cache
lost+found
app

This looks like apps2sd is maybe halfway working? But gmail is nowhere to be found:

# find /* -iname '*ail*apk'
/data/app_s/GmailProvider.apk
/data/app_s/htcmailwidgets.apk
/data/app_s/Mail.apk
find: /proc/533: No such file or directory
find: /proc/543: No such file or directory

Should I just re-install again?
[G1 Android Development] whitemonster:
yes, when you use the format option in the phone settings it formats the whole card, including all partitions.
[G1 Android Development] antonelli182:
hey guys, I'm with 2.1 on my ADP, overclocked and with swapper (32/10) and is running pretty nice.

I wish it could run smoothier though.

Has anyone done a third partition for the swapper?

And what config do you suggest for the swapper so it wouldn't damage my sdcard too much?

thanks!
[G1 Android Development] startekee:
I have the same problem. My gmail app is not working
[G1 Android Development] whitemonster:
Yea i believe AppstoSD 2 was made for JF builds... also, it downloads the file needed while doing the partition so make sure you are on a 3g good connection OR you run it with WIFI (wifi is the recommended way)...

then it will force close, just hit WAIT... then wait about 30 secs after hitting WAIT and it'll change and make you click reboot... (ignore the sdcard notifications that come out)
[G1 Android Development] ChrisAshton84:

For those having problems with GMAIL (although you shouldn't if flashed correctly)

Download the data.zip file i have... inside you'll find an app folder and an app_s folder... (just push the files, not the whole folders.... it's 1 file in each folder)

push them into your phones /data/app and /data/app_s respectively.... let me know if that works.
