MORE iNternal MEMORY!!!!!!!!!!!

okay guys now i did Jac's new hero 2.3

here is what i removed:

weather apk

weather widget

most of the media files(kept 1 tone for each notifications)

removed google maps since you can download from market!

some lock screen wallpapers since you can add your own

runs very good overclock to 383

here is my results:

swap 32,788

internal 37mb

PS I will keep trying to remove stuff that i dont use to get more memory(but i dont want to remove the wrong ones!) we atleast need 42mb so it can run like a good jf build!

I will keep you guys posted... make sure you follow me on twitter as i will be announcing there!
[G1 Android Development] MavrcK145:
yep.. exact prob.
[G1 Android Development] zgmf-x322a:
hey bro, will u post ur signed rom on xda? its attractive to see 37mb free internal memory......
[G1 Android Development] maydaysos:
me too. same thing
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
yea i will about to flash if if everything comes out good then we will have 41MB free yay!!!

remeber im just removing stuff that i dont use so if i remove something you use well im sorry!!! ;)
[G1 Android Development] optikalsaint:
Market just crashes for me whenever I try to open it.
[G1 Android Development] maxisma:
Market works for me.
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
sucks that dev tools doesn't work with this build...always moved a lot more stable when I set it to 4 app processes max..
[G1 Android Development] MavrcK145:
I posted two bugs in his bug tracker google code site... listed Market Terms of Service loop, and MMS messages not sending or receiving.
[G1 Android Development] zgmf-x322a:
it would be best if u could list out the stuff u removed :D:D:D

ill be waiting for ur good news :D:D
[G1 Android Development] dirty_:
Ok i did so. Still looping while booting. sometimes i see a popup dialog saying something like: "unlocking sim"

It's in German...may it be there are problems with german strings missing somewhere?

At the Notification Bar i am able to see the Connection Bar displaying "no connetcion" (that's ok as i haven't unlocked my sim yet"

and on the left of that icon i see anotherone, a crossed out card. Is that the simcard or the sdcard icon?
[G1 Android Development] dbhatesyou:
market loop i cant really reproduce, it works for me... i would extract the rom ,

and use adb

adb rm /system/app/Vend*

and then from the extracted rom

adb push C:\path\to\system\app\vend* /system/app

if it complains about read only type

adb shell

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

rm /system/app/Vend*

exit exit

and so on...
[G1 Android Development] dbhatesyou:
if you can see the stat icons , and then shows the htc logo's thats not a boot loop. thats just what happens when first flashing over usually instead of a loading dialog, we see the htc logo. now. if you never get past that. load up ddms from the sdktools. and see whats going on from there
[G1 Android Development] Bavilo:
would it be possible to make the updates "no-wipe" from now on?
[G1 Android Development] midnite23:
I had the market TOS loop too. What worked for me was disabling my wifi and using the mobile network to access it. That allowed me to accept it, and from then on I could use wifi with the market. Happened to me twice (different flashes) and this worked both times.

Good luck.
[G1 Android Development] dbhatesyou:
i wouldnt trust that at all.. never know what kind of things are left behind. ( actually talked to jac about this in previous builds. ) wipes are always good.
[G1 Android Development] optikalsaint:
My Market problem appears to be related to the "Google Sign-In" app. Whenever the program tries to load this application it just dies. I also noticed the Gmail app was nowhere to be found on the 2.3 install... at least on my device. Do you guys think this could be a app2sd problem or was the Gmail app not included in this build?

Looking at my ex2 partition it appears the folders were created during the automatic app2sd move during the initial boot but nothing was copied over to the cards, just blank folders. I'm attempting another format/wipe/reboot of my ex2 partition and device to see if that fixes the problem.
[G1 Android Development] I7oobie:
Thanks! I was hoping I wouldn't have to redo the setup...:cool:
[G1 Android Development] bassbox:
how to format my ext3 partition?

i have no card reader.

my g1 won't boot (BOOT LOOP)

a way over adb maybe ??
[G1 Android Development] benji:
has anyone found a solution to the "Failure at line 12:" error? its been killing me trying to figure this out.

i have radio 2.22.19.26I and spl 1.33.2005

ive re-re-re-re-formated my ext3 and fat32 partitions

wiped phone

currently running cm-3.2 and cm-recover-1.2

i know im not the only one with this problem:eek:
[G1 Android Development] optikalsaint:
4th times the charm! Everything is working now, even Market. Looks like it was just a weird install problem :)
[G1 Android Development] dubstar_04:
Does anyone fancy commenting on the performance of the rom?
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:

[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
For those using swap...

Try using a swap (partition or sdcard), and note how fast it feels.

Next, go into /system/etc and delete sysctl.conf. Now note how much faster the phone becomes.

=]

Im thinking there is a conflict with one of the values in sysctl.conf, particularly vm.swappiness = 0.

I currently have swappiness set at 30 via userinit.sh:

echo 30 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

I've pushed sysctl.conf back onto /system/etc and the phone slows down again.

Then deleted sysctl.conf, and sure enough, the phone became faster and more responsive.

Someone else want to test this, just to verify? Anyone want to elaborate on the technicalities of having vm.swappiness = 0 in sysctl.conf and a separate echo value for /proc/sys/vm/swappiness?
[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
i cant delete the files from my ext2. i try through adb and i get that the device is busy. i try through recovery and it says the dir does not exist. ne help.
[G1 Android Development] optikalsaint:
Performance is pretty speedy but there are times when the device lags a fair bit. Battery life is still extremely poor as well. I went from a full charge to 70% in less than an hour.
[G1 Android Development] Bavilo:
Have you tried just deleting the vm.swappiness = 0 while leaving all the other stuff? and then pushing it back?
[G1 Android Development] dirty_:
So this is the loop i am in. Sometimes i get to see the Notificationbar at hte top with more or less icons. Here's the Stacktrace. I think there's several images missing. You guys have not really removed the notificationbar icons, have you?

Link.to.the.stacktrace
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
yup seemed to fix it ;) ok just going to lurk now.
[G1 Android Development] igloo77055:
I had that problem to and was pretty much in the exact same situation.

I knew I didn't have the right spl as Camera+Power comfirmed it.

But I couldn't get the new spl to install for some reason..

someone mentioned pressing Home+Back instead of using the trackball and it worked!

After that I proceeded with updating to 2.2.1 and everything went smoothly.

And now I updated to 2.3 and everything is working fine still

Soo make 100% sure you're on the right SPL by checking with Camera+Power,

If you are then I have no idea whats next

But if you don't, do the SPL update and restart using Home+Back NOT the trackball
[G1 Android Development] paindoo:
It seems in JacHero 2.3 the Launcher.apk and Launcher.odex is missing. How do I push these two file in 2.3 I have them from 2.2.1.
[G1 Android Development] danielherrero:
Hi

I have a problem related with roaming (no present in other version). I use a simyo operator here in Spain. This operator uses the orange network so its using roaming. OK, each time I reboot the device I ve to go to settings/wireless/mobile and unckec/check allow data on roaming". Anyone with same problem?
[G1 Android Development] zgmf-x322a:
thanks alot dude, and thanks to JAC for the initial Hero rom!!! u r a genius!!!
[G1 Android Development] Bavilo:
Even with the slimmed down JACHero 2.3 everything is still pretty sluggish :(

I think I'm just gonna move to CyanogenMod. I'd rather have a fast phone than risking the life of my SD cards just to increase performance "slightly".
[G1 Android Development] W0WA:
loop

hey guys,

everytime when im flashing the rom i get a loop in the booting process(htc logo)!

i formatted my partitions but it dont work-.-

I hope you can help me..

wowa
[G1 Android Development] prettyboy85712:
CM 1.2 is not compatible with this ROM.'
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
ummm if you referring to the cm1.2 recovery image...yes it does work with this rom...i have it installed now as do many members that use this hero build
[G1 Android Development] Fear_Zoa:
I had to re-flash cause during the initial setup i had a force close of the setup so i had a black screen and the bar at the top...its weird....but as for the newest build...its great...as usual:D ...each build is less sluggish...

Edit: Im confused about the apps to sd...(never used it before) does it do it automatically or do you need a application and yes i have EX3 partition and a FAT32
[G1 Android Development] kgdg:
I came from Cyanogen 3.2 to JACHero 2.2.1, i too find this a little too sluggish for my taste, i want to go back to Cyanogen 3.2.

But now, when i flash Cyanogen 3.2, and click on reboot, it keeps boot looping at the HTC logo, why is this?

Thanks

KG
[G1 Android Development] komposure85:
Man...I wish I had time to read all of the additional pages since I last was on here......lol I'll just have to review the changelog.

but for someone who has been keeping up what are the differences between 2.3, 2.2.1, and 2.2 since JAC is only posting the current build's changelog on this site and only 2.2.1 on the bug entry page.

Also if there is a build changelog page link that has the build history of all of the builds that way I can see all of the changes to see what would possibly benefit me - please post that link
[G1 Android Development] illusive817:
everytime i install the build its very slow , with everything , id love to be able to use the flash9 , but atm just too slow for me ,

keep up the good work
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
are you also using swapper, that will help with the speed immensely i know it does for me
[G1 Android Development] illusive817:
not sure what swapper is , it is something i need to install ?
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
ok which version are you running ? swapper should already be in the apps list check and see, if not you can download it from the market, then start the app, then press swap off, it should also ask for su permissions always allow it. ONce it clears press settings make sure it says swap size is 32 MB and that swappiness is set to 10 then go back and press swap on. Once it says all done press get information you should see another bit of information with 32xxx amount a space free. In theory you just created more ram for your phone allowing you to run more programs at a time without them closing. Allowing your phone to run smoother at first it may lag a little but once up and running after a few mins you will notice a difference in speed
[G1 Android Development] DeFiant*X:
I'm running JACHero 2.2 w/o Apps2Sd and it runs good! I've removed a lot of unnecessary widgets and ringtones along with some apps. I only have 19 mb free, overclocked and I guess swapper is doing it's thing. I'll keep removing ringtones and notification and see how much space I have left. Just wented to say thanks jac!
[G1 Android Development] soba5150:
Im on EXT2 do i need a 3rd partition to run swapper or will it work fine?? and is ext3 or ext2 any better as far as speed is concerned because i have paragon partition manager and could repartition
[G1 Android Development] Senorkabob:
When you guys say it runs good, is this in comparison to other builds? Or is this in comparison to like Ion r2?

I tried using his 2.0 build of this (and I do want to say great work JAC) but compared to Ion I just couldnt deal with the lagginess.
[G1 Android Development] mrjay:
when i installed v2.0 everything was very slow. i went to 2.2 same thing. the i did a backup to everything on my SD (FAT32 partition) and format the SD and then repartition it with FAT32/ext3/swap. installed 2.3 and now everything is running very very smooth.

no HTC screen when i press home button. i didn't overclock it yet but i'm very happy with this build so far.

Thanks JAC.
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
I got it to a high of 29MB free. Then again, I removed all ringtones, all notifications, Twitter (widget and app), Stocks (widget and app), Teeter, Mail (widget and app), Messages widget...etc.

As a side note/question for all (I PM'd JAC, but I'm sure he's busy). I'm still running 2.1, now that 2.3 is available, if I was to update, could I do a nandroid restore of data.img from 2.1 so I don't have to remove all the stuff I removed above?
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
no need to repartition at all no real advantages, but as for swapper it creates the space on the fat32 portion of your sd card it doesnt go to the second partition unless you tell it to but you should leave it on the fat32 part.
[G1 Android Development] soba5150:
@jamizzal So I'm on ext2 i got swap running...im fine?? i don't need a 3rd swap partition?
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
nope sure dont....it can be done that way but i remember people saying that when they had 3 different partitions they started having problems im not sure they may have been resolved but im not sure imho but your good i have only two partitions fat32/ext2 and i let the swap file stay on my fat32 part and im running smooth with the stock 1gb class 2 card
[G1 Android Development] rip:
2.2.1 or 2.2.1f was really laggy and have lots of force close on my g1 dev without ext2/3 on µsdcard.

2.3 is much better , as quick as official cupcake, sometimes forceclose on touchflo.

don't take second link for 2.3 download, it was not working for me when trying to install update.zip...

took the first one and all fine.

thank you all for this great feature
[G1 Android Development] soba5150:
THanks ..im all set now.... still feels a little laggy but im trying to pick what apks and odexs to remove and see what i can free up.....Take care
[G1 Android Development] Senorkabob:
Can someone else confirm this?
[G1 Android Development] soba5150:
what did you use for apps2sd? and can dalvik even be moved to SD? something looks off to me...i usually use lucid's app to symlink but im not sure its working lol 30mb free seems too low

Currently running 2.2. Is a format of my EXT2 partition a must to go to 2.3?

Also, did anyone notice a severe drop in call quality on the 2.x roms? People say I sound like I'm in a wind tunnel and I also notice that they don't sound to great on my end either.
[G1 Android Development] minty1978:
Cant confirm it is as quick as official phone....as I dont have a Hero.

I can tell you it is pretty quick, and fairly stable.

I have had no force closes, and only 1 loading screen for touchflo.
[G1 Android Development] Scridgeon:
I've gotten "you sound like you're in a tin can." I think there is an issue with the 2.x series as well.
[G1 Android Development] ths_:
Ok, glad to know I'm not the only one. I noticed that my phone sounded different when I flashed the new radio and Haykuro's SPL... but now it's pretty bad.

Hopefully 2.3 makes it better. I'll have to wait until I get home for it though and by then 2.4 will probably be out.
[G1 Android Development] komposure85:
ironically someone just said that to me while on a call
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
Everyone, you may as well wait to flash to the newest rom. The bluetooth as been fixed, by the end of the night it will be packaged in a new rom.
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
cool glad i could help
[G1 Android Development] ComplexMinded:
I will say that 2.3 is running super fast. I haven't overclocked it yet unless it set to overclock in the build. I have had no FC's and no loading screens. Using swapper at 16/10. Great build! Havent noticed any bugs and just made a phonecall.. They didnt complain about the audi quality so I would say its good. Thanks Jac!
[G1 Android Development] AIpha:
Yeah, it seems like everything around me is louder than I am. (I was playing Fnr4, and they said they heard the punches)
[G1 Android Development] mholger:
Under 2.2.1 my wife was told me it sounded like there was a lot of background/wind noise, so I did some experimenting with the handset and my home phone.

Looks like the mic gain is cranked and just needs some adjustment, somehow. I was standing over 10 ft from the handset and (listening via my home phone) could hear myself plain as day; not until between 10 and 15ft was my voice starting to get lost in the background noise. Pretty impressive as far as a speakerphone for a quiet room - nevermind the fact that I hadn't turned the speakerphone on. :)

I haven't tried this with 2.3 - but I'd anticipate similar results.
[G1 Android Development] Scridgeon:
Just to clarify, the issue isn't with the new SPL or radio. I was running the Dude's Roger's rom and it sounded just fine. Even JAC's 1.x Hero rom sounded fine. I wonder why the 2.x series sounds so bad?
[G1 Android Development] byebyeloser:
I have also been told by others the sound quality is off since installing. Does not bother me much however.
[G1 Android Development] ths_:
I'm glad to hear it's not the radio or the spl that is causing the crazy sound settings.
[G1 Android Development] exile20:
Is anyone having a problem with thier GPS. It never finds a lock no matter how long i leave it on. The GPS icon flashes forever but never locks on. I am using JAC 2.3.
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
Its a common problem with some, not all. put your phone on 2g in wireless settings and it should locate in seconds.
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
Are you talking about the post where someone made BT work from the commandline but not the operating system? That unfortunately won't help make BT turn on when you click "Turn on bluetooth". I've replicated that process a while back and it doesn't help

WOW. Thanks, connected immediately.

I just flashed 2.3 and my phone keeps looping on the HTC intro. Can anyone help me figure out whats wrong?

is 2.3 smooother?because when i hi the home sscreen i keep gettin a loadubg screen and it takes like 30 seconds b4 it changes
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Guys,

If someone could take a few minutes and give me any opinions on what I need to do I would appreciate it. Heres the issue:

I have 2.1 installed with no issues. Everytime I wen to install 2.2, once the phone booted up, I would get massive foreclosures, specifically, android.process acore and the usual gapps. I have reformated the sd cards ( i have used two, including a new one). I have deleted the partition and installed a fresh one on each card. I have wiped before applying the updates every time. I have literally flashed over 50 times. What could be wrong? Is it at all possible because flashed ROM's so many times, that I destroyed something? Sounds crazy, but I am out of ideas. What do you guys think?
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
im still on 2.0 r6(NISMO) are you using swapper ? if not the phone only has like 2mb of ram without swapper which is def not enough for this rom so Touchflo will almost never stay open and have to always load try using swapper and you will see a difference
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
having issues with the market.. won't allow me to hit accept button. should i just pull vendor and than push it back through adb?
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
i had this problem when i first went to 1.8bv4 from 1.7 idk why it did it but i just stayed on 1.7 for a while and let a few roms pass and never had the problem again. I would say let a rom or two pass as you go back to the working 2.1, you know there will be a new update tonight there always is.
[G1 Android Development] Jerzdre:
where can i get swap from man>?

can u link me 2 mismo jachero plz

http://www.4shared.com/file/115232647/3e8a42f/JACHero20r6modded2.html

you can download swapper from the market
[G1 Android Development] lilwill2806:
whats the steps for setting up market if downloads dont work ......something like

su

chmod.......

really need to get the market up and running
[G1 Android Development] Jerzdre:
the first link was??

second link was nismo right
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
you can download swapper from the market just type in swapper. The settings i run are 32 MB swap size and a swappiness of 10 basically the swap size is in theory the ram you and and swappiness is how often you access it. The larger the swap file the slower it will run so if you plan on using a swap file larger remember to adjust the swappiness you shouldnt have to go over a swappiness of 60 ever though.

speak of the devil lol seems like you came outta no where, lol again that rom is still running so smooth.
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
glad to hear n yea i just woke up lol
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
both links r da same
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
they are the same...this is an older update though remember that this came out before 2.1
[G1 Android Development] Jerzdre:
my bad nismo.i wasnt paying attention
[G1 Android Development] ttownboy84:
I'm sticking with the 2.2.1 it runs smooth and i have 35 mb had'nt got one force close yet
