data backup

hi,

i have already JACman1.62 and i wat to update to 1.8v4

how can i back up all my data before upgrade?

data means sms, contacts (facebook), bookmarks maybe and etc

thx
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Dude, it took me 2-3 weeks of reading posts, subscribing to threads and reading instructions over and over until I worked up the nerves to just root my phone, let alone flash a full rom. I don't think there's a way to block people to have them read stickies first. Some message boards out there won't let you out of a "jail forum" until you have been verified by a mod, but that would be a hell of a burden for the mods here.

I think progress is being made, I think the modifications are being made from previous successful roms, but some things are still missing from the Hero build that may be because we're not using the final version of it.
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
hmmm i wouldnt even propose the latter idea thats just too much for a mod...but idk it has to be a way to get people to read first lol
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
It is, that "jail" idea is mostly used for spammer control, but it works best on smaller boards, not something the size of XDA.
[G1 Android Development] djdeviance:
Hey JAC do you think you can find a way to have the YouTube HQ recognize the HSDPA symbol as 3G? Cause the HQ for now works only on Wi-Fi whereas the othe ROM's can recognize the 3G symbol to initiate the HQ. I don't know if there's a simple answer for this but any answer is appreciated. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] chrisrj28:
Yeah like Jamizzal said I would love to have all those newb posts filtered out so we can just see the related comments. Every few comments there is a new post about how they can't get past the spl stage and now are mad at jac b/c they have a brick.

As far as the YouTube I have spoken in a couple of threads about this. I had now idea that was an option when I was using cupcake and now I feel like I missed the boat. From the other threads it appears that it is the H symbol that is killing the HQ option b/c it works on every other ROM. I hope this can be fixed for hero
[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
I posted this earlier. Using Backup for Root Users, you can backup SMS beekmarks, apps, app data, etc. No contacts though sorry :(

Great app though :D
[G1 Android Development] JWallstreet:
Installed 1.8bv4

Not to bad. Very nice UI and all the widgets work properly. Returning to home screen is noticeably slow. Great work! Will wait for a more optimized version before I make a permanent switch to the this build.
[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
Returning to home is slow because Rosie.apk needs to restart.

Using swapper removes that lag. You'll be happy with that for sure
[G1 Android Development] Rekna:
Maybe it would be a good idea to revise the warning that says

It would likely prevent a few of the bricks.
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
I absolutely love this rom, particularly the jac versions, im using the default swapper settings in v4 (when i messed with them my phone went nuts with forcecloses and load screens and what not, so i reflashed and left it alone)

But when i press home from browser im still getting the load screen 4 out of 5 times, and i get the load screen almost half the time when coming from market or messaging does this sound about average or has anybody found better settings than default? The load screen is a very minor complaint to be sure, its really the only thing wrong with rosie imo, i dont ust bt and the lack of led doesnt bother me....thanks in advance for any suggestions

[G1 Android Development] rahduke:
does anyone else have issues when mounting SD card while using swapper, I get an error "Damaged SD" when I turn off USB storage.....
[G1 Android Development] truthkilla:
I'm having the same problem. I just rebooted my G1 and it works again but as soon as I disconnect from comp. I get the same message. Just reboot ya phone. I think if you save everything from ya SD and format ya SD it should work perfectly again. I going to do that tonight.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
i experience this multi times, the only solution to this problem is to disable swapping and then mount your sdcard and reswap when you sdcard is mount

its a bit of hassle but yeah.
[G1 Android Development] djdeviance:
It's been said before. Mounting with swapper will show corrupt sd. Rebooting will fix it. Before mounting turn off swapper and all should go well.
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
not on windows unless you have acronis or paragon partition manager, it has to be formatted to ext2 or ext3. one partition is fat32 the other ext2/3
[G1 Android Development] hackmania:
i recommend partition manager
[G1 Android Development] komposure85:
I use acronis and have not had an issue with the formatting or reformatting of my sd cards
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
I have used both acronis and paragon and think acronis is better.

thanks a million, its running as fast as i could hope for now, no load screens whatsoever yet...

how do i get additional hero wallpapers, that were on the previous 1.65r build
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
And how do we install them?

I did use a market app called wallpaper save and set. it let me install pictures 640 x 480. it did lag upon installing program and when new picture was set, but after reboot i did not notice a difference.
[G1 Android Development] jhood99:

READ the first post.

"WWARNING:You must Have The Correct Radio and Latest SPL! You can find them here (RADIO MUST BE INSTALLED FIRST) You can find it here."
[G1 Android Development] Devnex:
I have a problem all my incoming text messages say Yesterday. Even though they arrived today O.o
[G1 Android Development] chrisrj28:
@jhood

You really do need to read the first post thoroughly. You don't have the Haykuro spl installed. Read the instructions for getting the spl before you do it.

@devnex

The text prob is a known issue, over at the tmo forums they were stating Tmo is having a server issue. It's not related to the rom
[G1 Android Development] Devnex:
ahh good to know. I thought they may have removed the threading.

Also sometimes when I press the home button to get out of an app it brings me to widget selection screen. Its a bit annoying because of the 2 second loading screen then having to back out of it.

I received this error upon attempting an install. I have the new SPL and the new radio installed and with a working phone. Has anyone come up with a solution that does NOT include wiping my ext2 partition?

edit: I was running the Dudes v1.3b12 - then installed the new radio, installed the new SPL, re-installed the Dude's ROM. I checked to make sure both radio and SPL flashed properly and were actually installed. EVerything worked GREAT! I then wiped and attempted to install this ROM with the above error message. Also, I have Cyanogen's recovery image installed (since it came out).

edit #2: I wiped my ext2 partition and still have the above error. I'm going to try to re-download the ROM then try again.

edit #3: Ok, I downloaded the ROM again, wiped again, ran the ext2/3 checkdisk for errors, and attempted install... same error message.
[G1 Android Development] cookiemonster55:
I like this rom
[G1 Android Development] djdeviance:
Weird. I didn't wipe my ext2 partition. I did a straight flash from 1.71 to 1.8v2. Then 1.8v3 to 1.8v4. SD Card still not reformatted but working like a champ. Didn't even need to run apps2sd when I jumped onto 1.8v4 as all my apps were already installed.
[G1 Android Development] truthkilla:
I'm on the1.8bv3 build it's running smoothly even with the weather widget and two other widgets. I tried 1.8bv4 but got a few force closes on startup. Which include weather porvider, calendar, mybackup pro and two others that I can't remember. But I need help with my 1.8bv3 my cache in taking my memory away. I tried the app on market to move cache but it didn't work. Any help would be much apperciated!
[G1 Android Development] amd85:
I thought 1.64 was fast enough with swapper, boy i was wrong. After the i did the update 1.84, my G1 is flying with colors now. No more slow down and with widgets being use.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
flashing 1.84 right now can't wait to post results ;]

great job once again =D
[G1 Android Development] BlueBoar:
Loving this build. My only problem is my location is not working in the browser or maps. I have searched but found nothing.

Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
This happened to me on one of JAC's builds. It was on one of the early ones, and now that I'm on 1.8, the problem seems to be gone. I think that would be the only way to fix the problem, unless the source can be found and you replace those files...
[G1 Android Development] BlueBoar:
I am on 1.8bv4. Are you saying that I might need to install an earlier build and then upgrade without a wipe?
[G1 Android Development] bigboibbp:
does this rom also have facebook intergration?
[G1 Android Development] truthkilla:
@ bigboibbp

yes it also has twitter and flicker.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
for some reason LED doesnt seem to work for me :/
[G1 Android Development] nisto91:
The phone said that my sd card was corrupt so I formatted and it froze, I pulled out the battery, wiped, rebooted. Now it hangs at the htc screen...
[G1 Android Development] bigboibbp:
im almost sure that the led's dont work on any hero rom... im on superhero 2 and led's dont work there either.... gonna try this rom cuz the one i have now is full of force closes
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
well in his release note it says the LED were fixed and in JACHero 1.62 that i had before i was running 1.8b4 the LED were fixed on mine =D
[G1 Android Development] bigboibbp:
oooo..... ok.. my bad... i read the known bugs and it said the led thing....

before i switch over.... this is a stable rom... in that i dont get a force close every time i go to the home page.... right?
[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
That's weird... I'm on the same build and don't have that problem. Is google maps not finding any location for you at all? or the wrong one? One that is a little off?
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
yeah this rom is very stable i love it. ;]
[G1 Android Development] namsir:
Bluetooth is working now in this 1.8bv4?
[G1 Android Development] BlueBoar:
None at all, it says that it's unable to determine location. Same thing on the google homepage in the browser.

I'm on Tmobile in Portland, Or.
[G1 Android Development] KyleK29:
Just out of curiosity, what does everyone have for an internal memory size after 1.84b4 does the it's automatic Apps2SD and you reboot (after letting it completely sync)?

Also, is the tiedye-style wallpaper the default?
[G1 Android Development] nephron:
Hey i just installed 1.8v4 and its very laggy. Everything keeps force closing and its being very slow at the moment. I try apps to sd again and moved apps and the cache just to make sure, but its still being very slow. all the widgets are force closing and getting to hom force closes too. Even swapper force closes. Am i missing something? I have 58 mb left in internal.
[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
My guess would be that you didn't format your ext2 partition before updating. I don't use a2sd or have an ext2/ext3 partition, so I never had this problem. I just know that most people who did not format that partition before updating get many errors.

And @ KyleK29, the tie die wallpaper was the only one JAC left in Rosie.apk to save space. It can easily be replaced or whatever before updating, or you can just use Wallpaper Set/Save for HQ wallpapers
[G1 Android Development] nephron:
i used the sdsplit script right before installing. Did i have to do more than that???
[G1 Android Development] free-sidux:
Pretty Happy so far.

Rosie only fc's when using RAM-intense apps.

What's annoying: Auto-correct, if you're writing in an other language than specified, e.g. english with german dict.
[G1 Android Development] paindoo:
SO far So Good

I am quite happy with the new version 1.8b4, only one problem it eats like never before. Its a big battery hog. Any suggestions how to improve battery life.
[G1 Android Development] Cammarratta:
Yeah I was gonna say the same thing. It works like a charm but it has some serious issues causing forced closes and such. And it does just munch away my battery like crazy. It takes forever and a day to charge as well. It might be because of the ophone graphics? I'm not to sure.

Thanks nonetheless JAC for the great work!

Still no mms yet though? :(
[G1 Android Development] jigdagod:
I went back to v3, this one didn't wipe my phone first so I had all the force closes as well. When I went back to v3 it did everything correctly.
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:
one thing i do is turn off the data connection, and the social networking when i'm not using it.
[G1 Android Development] andrews240:
I finally took the plunge to 1.8v4 from v3. It Is fast, but the world clock app is missing. Or, is it just me?
[G1 Android Development] evolarius:
Thank you for making me feel less like an idiot... same issues here, hace new radio, flashed new SPL, tried install multiple times, no dice... even reformatted my sd... I'm at a los. Just gonna try with another sd card when I get home...
[G1 Android Development] evolarius:
Tried both... neither trial version let me reformat my partitions...

Used sdsplit, it reformatted the card, gonna check the ext2 next, I guess...
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
I really do hope that a fix for the keyboard light gets fixed...or if its possible to completely disable please let me know. It really sucks the life out of my extended battery =( ...anything besides turning off data because im on it all day
[G1 Android Development] truthkilla:
I also went back to 1.8b3, simple because SnesDroid didn't work on 1.8b4. Well 1.8b3 seems faster to me as well. What did you use to move cache over? The browser is eating up my memory.
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Yes there is. Go to the market and download "backlight".
[G1 Android Development] chrisrj28:
To those few that are coming from other builds and trying to flash this Rom I have a suggestion. As long as you verified you have the new SPL correctly then you can try what I did. I tried going to hero from JF1.51 and I got the installation aborted too, even after wiping. What I did was flash to the Hero Beta4 Haykuro released here: http://herog3.wicholandia.com/download.php?view.8 and then once that was loaded I flashed to Hero/Rosie and then onto JACs versions. Maybe that will get it for you.

Oh and in case noone checked the Bluetooth thread, It is almost there but we won't be able to overclock and run BT. That kinda sucks
[G1 Android Development] Cammarratta:
Snesoid works on 1.84 for me. Secret of Evermore doesn't but everything else is up and running.

And where was there ever an 1.8b3? I've only seen b4 and before that 1.72...
[G1 Android Development] nabzilla1990:
check this out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKTDSfbcbBU should someone start a donation for buying the htc hero its available on ebay for 765 the rogers phone was 620 and only took a few weeks to come up with the money for it someone needs to buy the phone to do a system dump seems way more polished now
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
JACHero 1.8bv4 is running very smoothly for me

I never get force close error, roise only loads once in a while due to uninstaling apps or using browser for a while which puts rosie to idle.

LED lights still doesn't work for some odd reason when i was running 1.62 the LED seem to work for a bit.

No lag when scrolling thru the different screens with widgets on them.

=D

hope to see more progress.
[G1 Android Development] jawash22:
JACHero 1.8bv4 is super for me too! I am only using the Calendar and Twitter widget and I rarely get force closes. I just use weatherbug also, instead of Weather which is a huge resource.

People having battery issues probably have your social networking and alternate emails syncing too much. I changed my settings and it did wonders. This can only get better with the HERO release:)
[G1 Android Development] chrisrj28:
Yeah if this is a prelude to how the release Hero will be I can only imagine. With working BT & LED support I will not mind at all removing a few things and overclocking and swapping and such. I want the flip clock widget. I love the fact that I was able to use this. And to think I almost just stuck with JF1.51
[G1 Android Development] paintballa628628:
Hey guys im a newb and am tryin out this Rom. I really like but there is one problem which i do not know if it is just my phone or wat... is anyone else having problems trying to set contact pictures. When i click the icon to set them it say no pictures available on phone... when there clearly are..

Help please!
[G1 Android Development] zayg1:
I'm on this mod for my G1 & Rosie keeps force closing so I think I'm going to have to change to a different rom. I liked it for the first 10 minutes before I downloaded Myspace, Twitta & M:Mafia, then after that I had like 4mb left for internal memory so it's super slow for me. I am still trying to find a way to do the apps2sd thing but it just seems really complictaed lol. Sorry I'm kinda a noob.
[G1 Android Development] evolarius:
Ill give it a shot when I get to the crib, thanks.
[G1 Android Development] chrisrj28:
That is a known issue with every Hero Rom. It's kind of low on the priority list. For now you will have to set contact pics online with your gmail.

Well unless you do apps2sd you will not be able to do much. It's pointless to use this Rom without apps2sd. If you want an easy to follow guide try this one http://www.allshadow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=5870
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Correct. I actually prefer the Gmail method.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
you can also set contact pics from the facebook sync works perfect for me cause 99% of my friends have facebook =D
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
go to the sdsplit thread, simple partition instructions, then this rom will do the rest
[G1 Android Development] zayg1:
So is there a good Hero build that I can use without apps2sd?
[G1 Android Development] andrews240:
Anyone! I just want confirmation if this is a known issue, or if I need to reflash. I use the alarm function a lot. Thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] jigdagod:
I just used the app that is with APP2SD that came with it, I haven't moved any cache besides that but I do notice I have like 36MB left when I first had like 56MB. Yea v3 seems faster to me as well
[G1 Android Development] KyleK29:
So are we ok to run the .odex optimization scripts on this still, or is that a no-no with 1.84b4?
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
i did it, nothing went wrong, it actuall made my hero build overrall faster. :D
[G1 Android Development] zapyourit:
May I ask which scripts you used and a possible link?
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
i attached the optimize.sh file but i renamed it to .txt so when you download it rename it to .sh

open terminal

and type in

su

sh /sdcard/optimize.sh
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
you have to install the worldclock widget separately, as for the alarm works fine for me

PS worldclock is in the app_s folder somewhere in the forum:(

[G1 Android Development] andrews240:
Thanks. I am referring to the apk, not the widget. I guess something went wrong with my install. I reformatted my SD, again, and now I'm reflashing.

Thanks again!
