My battery seems to drain horribly fast when my phone is sleeping, is this because of swapper or overclock or something else? Im using v4 and rosie runs so astonishingly well I wouldnt dream of giving it up but it seems i cant leave my house without the charger, any ideas?...thanks
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
what is your swappiness set to? I did 30, all this for testing also..
[G1 Android Development] komposure85:
currently im set to 32. I have read others having to set to 128. I may try it to see if things go even better but for right now.....I'm fine with my current setting

EDIT: I am still experimenting with the optimum swap setting

EDIT2: After running this for a while..the response going to home and pulling up the dialer are almost instant. I am experiencing some some every now and then but I have also experienced more FC's along the way so the experiment continues. So I am now trying the 64/60 to see if this helps
[G1 Android Development] ajsingh27:
anyone else having the force close issue when moving cache to sd?
[G1 Android Development] truthkilla:
what cache2sd method are you using? If you get it to work let me know. I have tried the app from market and two other methods from XDA but to no use.
[G1 Android Development] bdaboy338:
any screenshots???
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
try what i do. When im not using my data connection i turn it off, and back on when i do need it. I used toggle data, you will notice the battery last longer with this installed.
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
I have a quick question...

If I were to flash this ROM and after about a week or so and I'm disappointed or not satisfied with it, I can simply go back to cyanogens 3.4.6 by just doing the usual "update.zip" "alt+s" and everything should be fine?
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
yes, you can do that or, you can do a nandroid backup and restore later (it will restore it exactly as it was when you did the backup)
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
ok thanks a lot that makes me feel more comfortable about flashing this.
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
is it possible to go straight from cyanogen 3.4.6 -> JACHero 1.8bv4 or do I have to flash an earlier JACHero rom and then update it to the most recent one?
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
Nice Ill give that a try, thanks. This version of rosie runs so damn well theres no way im giving it up, just gotta make it work!
[G1 Android Development] djdeviance:
You would need flash hero beta 4 before flashing any other hero. It makes the process alot easier. Don't forget you still need to flash new radio and spl.
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
I already have the new radio and spl. Before this reply I went ahead and just wiped and installed JACHero 1.8bv4 and so far its working quite well, should I go back and flash Hero Beta 4 anyways?
[G1 Android Development] djdeviance:
No no if you have JACHero you don't need to flash the Hero Beta 4. That's only for people that were running into errors installing this ROM that have never flashed to a Hero ROM.
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
ok thanks a lot for ur help I would've wasted a lot of time lol
[G1 Android Development] watso4183:
Bluetooth

Under the description for the 1.8bv4, it says BT Perm Fix. As far as I am aware, bluetooth is still not working. I saw something about overclocking being the issue with enabling bluetooth, and that it needed to be >=384000. Could someone clarify for me what is meant by BT Perm Fix?
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
I searched the thread about the location issue with Google Maps, but I didn't find any concrete information. When I try to find "My Location" in Google Maps, I always get "Your location is currently unavailable", unless I turn on GPS. Any ideas?

I'm on 1.8b4, wiped and installed just 2 hours ago. It also happened on 1.8b3.
[G1 Android Development] komposure85:
that is interesting....this feature has always worked with me....when u upgraded did you have a clean partition?....this might be grabbing at straws......
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
I'm not doing apps2sd, so there is no partition on my card at all. It last worked on 1.65r2. Why should the partition matter if it finds my location with GPS on, but not with it off?
[G1 Android Development] komposure85:
did you ever get some responses to this post? I had about 34mb after the complete sync but I still think that is too low
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
is it just me or the new JACHero 1.8bv4 battery life been very crappy, only used it for 7 hours and it died on me, light use, little phone calls, few text, youtube streaming 1-2, music played for 5 mins. and thats about it.

even in sleep mode it was draining my battery, had sync off, backlight at its lowest, wonder what it could be.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
yes it automatically does apps2sd which is a great feature but the internal memory after complete sync i had was 58 mb
[G1 Android Development] komposure85:
since google maps caches all locations this could have possibly been an issue with the cache files on your partition....if you chose to move them there.....but given that you are not using a partition for you cache this would not apply to your situation.

I had this issue when I was on JF 1.5 before I started moving my caches to my sd and my issue was resolvedby clearing both the data and the cache from google maps and then rebooting...hopefully this works for you as well.....
[G1 Android Development] komposure85:
cool thanks ...i may just have to reflash and see if that makes a difference
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
ahhhhhh im running into so many force closes every few seconds, helppp meeeee

I get random app force closes

and mainly just

"The process com.android.phone" force close

Any ideas how to fix this or should I just go back to cyanogens v3.4.6

and my text messages dont work.

also i have no more bars....
[G1 Android Development] 13bjunkie:
+1. I got "gapps", "messages" and "phone" force closing.... repeatedly every now and then. i reverted back to 1.72 for the time being.

also, with a clean partition when I first started with 1.8, i would get boot looping at first startup. i'd give it time before I pulled the battery out and reboot. usually then it would actually get me to my sim lock screen. and it would do this everytime I had to turn my phone off (i switch between my 1700 and 2600 battery).
[G1 Android Development] cheesebeanie:
Oh okay cheers DMaverick50 wasnt sure what release it was running also big thanx goes out to all the cooks and android demons that made these files possible to load on the g1!!!!!! cheers again
[G1 Android Development] ptskilz:
IT runs SO SLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but i love it
[G1 Android Development] cheesebeanie:
Installing JAChero

hey dude i am relativly new to this i live in oz and have rooted the fone and am now on JAChero 1.8bv4 and just loaded the new radio and hard spl as instructed ran into a few issues by way of a loop at the startup htc screen but after a little stufing around it came good i installed the JAChero update on sd and installed after wipe straight over JF's cupcake then once that was installed i could load up cm-recoverey-1.2.img and since all has been nice apart from the odd force close due to rosie but apart from that AWESOME STUFF!!!!
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
yeah its really bad, it was suggested to me that i turn off data when not in use, i set up the htc settings widget for it but it doesnt turn it back on, i have to go to settings to restart data.

Anyhoo I think its helping, ive only been trying it for a few hours but previously my phone would have dropped a quarter or even a third in just a couple of hours. The weirdest part is the drain while its asleep. I went to bed with a fully charged phone and woke up seven hours later with the battery meter in orange, im thinking maybe its the swapper, since it keeps rosie running in the background?
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
When i first flashed it ran real slow, and i had formatted ext2 and everything. I re-reformatted and re-reflashed and set the swapper to 128/60 and it runs like a dream, ive had no forcecloses or load screens (except a load screen when i initially boot up) So maybe try reflashing, its definitely worth it, battery drains fast but the speed can really be impressive
[G1 Android Development] jl1030:
hi all, i just got back from a holiday, now that 1.8b is out, i would like to know what are the stages for Swapper to work?

i flash the rom, app2sd, then what?

there are far too many pages with swapper in it, and im a tad confused.

so any help here would be greatly appreciated.

cheers
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:
i have the same problem, but you just long press the power button and the option to turn on data pops up along with other options.
[G1 Android Development] andrews240:
For the person having issues with location in google maps, the only work around that I found for when this happens is to go into 2g only mode, and it works right away. It will pickup location from time to time in "H" mode, but it isn't consistent.
[G1 Android Development] andrews240:
Great Idea. It's funny, the last time I formatted my EXT3, when I upgraded to v4, I considered giving this a try, but I thought it wouldn't work.

Question. What address do you use to point swapper at the linux-swap partition? I currently use /system/sd/swap.swp for my swap file location. How is this done when using the swap partition?
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
Thanks you, the 128/60 settings are running my phone lighting fast.

And thank you sir, I had had the same problem for a long time. When I first read your post, I thought you were full of crap, but i tried it, and it worked beautifully. thanks
[G1 Android Development] BlueBoar:
Thanks for that, Works just like you said.
[G1 Android Development] evolarius:
ok tried it at home... first install went just fine... no go for me since... im frustrated now, kinda starting to lose interest... same freaking error message...
[G1 Android Development] truthkilla:
Ok back on 1.8b3. Phone start up took too long and music kept skipping on 1.8b4.
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
you have to uninstall swapper app and setup the swap partition, enable swapon and set swappiness using adb shell

to be more specific:

adb shell

mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

echo # > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness (where # is the swappiness you want: 10, 20, 30, 60... etc)
[G1 Android Development] andrews240:
Thank you!!!
[G1 Android Development] superg05:
go to setting and turn on gps not find location thought network towers which it is on bye default turn that off select gps and try again
[G1 Android Development] andrews240:
Your welcome.....I think. Just kidding. I get that all the time for some reason :)
[G1 Android Development] ready4thebreak:
is it just me?

I flash this ROM two days ago and I must admit, I was overly impressed with how slick the new build is.

I used the ROM for about 24 hours and I just had to take it off unfortunately. My phone was nearly burning a hole in my hand. I was using Swapper at the default levels and Apps To SD 2. I expected this things to take a little off the processor of the phone and it was still blazing hot. I have a 2 GB Sandisk SD card. I was on Wifi and logged on to the Facebook sync. I did nothing memory intensive(no widgets or anything), but still the phone was still scaring me with its heat

Is there anyway to keep the phone cooler? Also, has anyone used prior builds? Were they the same with the heat factor? I really enjoyed this ROM and I want to go back to it, but I don't wanna risk burning my motherboard or anything.

And can someone please verify if the Bluetooth is supposed to be working in this build? I read other post with conflicting answers and the first thread post says it does, but it wouldn't turn on for me.
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
how do u set up a swap partition? I dont get it...

HtcChirp w/ widgets working!

Hey guys, Initially I had some issues making the LOG IN button for twitter to work and i noticed the widget was not included... I went ahead and put up a tutorial on how to fix the log in issue, add the htc twitter widget AND get HtcChirp working!!! This is the first Rom I got HtcChirp working on... all others always forced closed! I love this ROM! Tutorial is at: http://myhangoutonline.com/2009/06/28/quickfix-fix-twitter-htc-chirp-w-widget-on-jachero-18b4/
[G1 Android Development] grenness:
I'm not able to log in either. The "log in" button doesn't seem to do anything. Facebook and Flickr works, though.

1.8bv4 on a Dream.

In addition, the Mail application force closes each time I try to access it. Only way to read my Exchange mail is by using the Mail widget...

And if noone noticed, something has been done with the ActiveSync support since Magic - we use Zimbra as mailserver @ work, and ActiveSync on Magic doesn't work (has been reported to Zimbra, they're looking into it). But on JacHero 1.8bv4 ActiveSync against Zimbra actually works great. Go figure...

~Christopher
[G1 Android Development] mrandroid:
well go read the tutorial - http://myhangoutonline.com/2009/06/28/quickfix-fix-twitter-htc-chirp-w-widget-on-jachero-18b4/ you'll have your twitter fixed in no time... can't do anything about the exchange for you though... I think exchange doesn't work on these hero roms... not 100% sure though.
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
nvm.........
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:
can you post screenshots of it working on JAChero, i'm a little bit skeptical. I just want to make sure this is not a ploy just to get people to sign up to the site.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
does this include the icons on the htc chip app cause i know the other builds have htc chirp but the icon is missing.
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
I'm going to leave for a 18 hour car trip in about 7 hours, I'm running JACHero 1.8bv4 and it tends to lag a lot and be slow. If you guys could help me speed it up for my 2 week trip that'd be awesome, I'll also have access to a computer once I get to my destination. Rosie is also closing on me a quite often, and if it doesnt its so sloooooooooow.

I'm currently using stock swapper 128/60 and SetCPU is at min:384 Max - w.e highest is i forgot. Im using apps to SD EXT3 from cyanogen recovery 1.2. I haven't reformatted my SD since I partitioned it for cyanogen 3.4.6 if that matters. Please help me, I love Rosie but this kind of sucks.

Also would a reboot help? I haven't rebooted since I've successfully flashed this rom.
[G1 Android Development] mrandroid:
yea the htcchirp icon is there
[G1 Android Development] mrandroid:
i've tried superhero v2 and jachero1.8b4 and i must say jachero wins hands down. i flashed it and immediately responded awesome. I have my swapper set to 32mb swap size with 10 for swappiness (both the recommended settings). overclock widget set to 528mhz (max).... runs great! PS - make sure you reboot... rosie gave me a few force closes when i initially flashed it but then after first reboot, i haven't had any.
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:
can you post screenshots of the HTC chirp app working properly? (MEANING WITH THE WHITE BACKGROUND)
[G1 Android Development] mrandroid:
so um, how do I take a screenshot? lol... can't use the iMac builtin camera or it comes out backwards and my regular camera doesn't focus correctly...

it's the regular lil blue htc chirp icon, when you open it, the first screen background is black and the letters are white (all the tweets), then you have the 4 tabs on the bottom for replies, messages, etc. they all work good. the other screens have the white background... only the main tab has a black background with white for the words/letters. try it out, simple apk... don't like it, just uninstall it.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
NOPE.

the twitter method mrandroid posted doesn't work

still get black screen on HTC Chirp app. and no update button on twitter widget.
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:
if its just the apk, then you didnt fix anything.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
ima try something else real quick to see if i can fix this.
[G1 Android Development] mrandroid:
you can hit enter at the end of posting and it'll post your tweet, also the widget works perfectly... yea you get the black background in the main tab but the rest work correctly... other builds wouldn't even let you click another tab without a force close lol.
[G1 Android Development] mrandroid:
the update button comes out only when typing something... try it... type something into the widget, update button will pop up right under once you start typing. PS - how do you do the screenshots? is it an app or some other way????
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
what are things that you guys have done to reduce lag and rosie closes and speed up your ROM and make it run smoother?
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
lol thanks it worked, and i use the Android SDK just launch the ddms app in the tools folder located in the SDK its real simple.

I went back to JACHero 1.62vr it works flawlessly no force closes, no loading screen, everything runs very smooth when switching from screen to screen with widgets running on about 5 of them if i have time ill post a video of me using the build and youll see how fast it is with no force closes. its amazing.
[G1 Android Development] mrandroid:
screenshots

The SDK takes pictures, lol...

screenshots:
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
How do the two versions differ? What does the latest one have that 1.62 doesnt? and would my apps from ext3 be transfered over? i noticed that in 1.72 i was still able to remove apps on the app manager, but none showed up on the phone itself. Unless i reinstalled them.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
you can read the change log, but this version has working LED but at certain times which is odd.

and i believe you could transfer the apps to ext3 i just have ext2

and you can remove certain apps from app manger it shows up there also
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
hey guys i need help...

i got my rom to be blazing fast zomgg its a miracle...

then i was stupid enough to use "Backup for Root Users" and restored my OLD sms from when i was using cyanogen 3.4.6 and so now when i open up "message aka sms" it doesnt open but if i use the sms widget then it works fine. can someone tell me who to fix this? please and thank you.
[G1 Android Development] Henchman:
How do i get that black keyboard?
[G1 Android Development] KyleK29:
Anyone know how to turn (if it is possible) off the damn auto-replace for the hard keyboard? I turned off the setting in Text & Input, but it still auto-replaces. It's rather annoying. I don't mind it suggesting, but not replacing.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
its an app called betterkeyboard find it on the market its free :] also a number of skinned keyboards also, i type very accurate with this keyboard its very responsive also.
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
i cant tell u where exactly cause im still wiping my phone cause i ****ed up and now im gettign tons of force closes, but when mine did work you can find it in the settings, then go to keyboard and turn it off.
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
wow.. i gave up on hero builds.. but so far this build is killa..

running real fast..

did a wipe before flashing

it hung on the g1 and htc screen for almost 10 minutes.. i didnt stop it cause i was playin poker online, then it finally started up..

it ran slow at first while doing the google setup.. moved dalvik cache only using apps2sd app, and then rebooted, and now its running like its a rom made for the G1..

turned the swapper on, but didnt mess with any settings on it, cause i dont know wtf it is and its too late at night to be searching right now...

Twitter client - HTC Chirp doesnt show who the tweets are from.. but its all good cause i use twidroid more anyway.. but if theres a fix for the htc chirp let me know..

i can hit the home key rosie starts instantly.. but now it just lagged on me for a second cause of twidgetlite..
[G1 Android Development] hendos43:
Yay

Flashing 1.8bv4 as we speak :)

Loving the Work, JAC, kudos :D
[G1 Android Development] KyleK29:
The one I know of:

Settings > Locale & Text > Device Keyboard > Auto-Replace

Doesn't do anything for me, is that the one you are thinking of?

Also, as for your force closes, I'd recommend you do the following to get Hero running good (this is from trial and error):

- Format your EXT2 or EXT3, at the very least you should delete the data on it.

- Wipe your phone in recovery.

- Apply the JAC1.84 update

- Do the setup

- Let the phone sit for 10minutes

- Reboot

- Run the "update optimizations" odex script by TwistedUmbrella

*edit*

Think I figured it out:

Settings > Locale & Text > Touch Input > Text Input >

-- Qwerty: Prediction - On

-- Qwerty: Spell Correction - Off

-- Phone Keypad: Spell Correction - Off

-- Phone Keypad: Word Completion - Off
[G1 Android Development] emat:
Hey guys few tips from a rookie who experienced some issues during the process :

a) doesn't let the handset formatting your SD card,

b) ensure that partitions of your SD are as following : 1st : FAT32 - 2nd : EXT2

c) Install first from an SD without EXT2 partition. Once done, insert your SD with the 2 partitions, launch app2sd then reboot your computer

d) set-up the swapper to 128/60

e) Connect to the market first with the data connection (not through wifi) if you want to be able to accept the terms and conditions from Google.

That's all.

Result is incredible !!!
[G1 Android Development] jigdagod:
How do you take pictures with the SDK?
[G1 Android Development] mrandroid:
plug your phone into the computer, go into your <androidsdk>/tools directory and run DDMS

once it's open you'll get a window with a list, your phone should be in it and at the bottom it'll be a live feed of your phones activities.... Just hit CNTRL+S and it'll take a screenshot and ask where to save it.
[G1 Android Development] mrandroid:
the twitter widget gives that black keyboard.... only works on the twitter widget though, not everywhere. would be nice to get it for everywhere
[G1 Android Development] mrandroid:
I used my fat32/ext3 card from the get go, didn't switch. I have my swapper set to 32/10 and i said YES to wifi during the setup and did everything (including market) with wifi active.... mine runs great. no force closes and responds instantly. i also have overclock widget set to 528mhz.
[G1 Android Development] jigdagod:
Appreciate that I always tried to use the screenshot app but it didn't work correctly all the time.
[G1 Android Development] lelandspencer:
Dude.

Dude.

DUDE! Why has nobody else said this? My phone is running like a freaking champ now!

Everyone move the cache and turn swapper to 32/10. Your phone will cool down dramatically, move much faster and I reckon that it'll get better battery life, too.
[G1 Android Development] jigdagod:
Anyone can help me reinstall my drivers for usb, I've uninstalled them and tried to reinstall them but I keep getting device unknown.

EDIT: I've figured it out, I had to restart my phone, I forget to unplug it from USB when it's rebooting.
[G1 Android Development] dpgc213:
wow this killed my battery like never before lol. 100% when i went to sleep, gps and wifi off, open overclocker at 527.5. woke up this morning and it was at 5%. And no i wasnt sleeping for 24hours lol. battery lasted about 8 hours and thats without any use
[G1 Android Development] Klarato:
O_O.

I make phone calls (30min-1hour Total), sms(****loads), check the clock screen every 20min :P. Have wifi turned on all day play random games, read the news via net and it lasts me a full working day..Wake up at 6am...Back on the charger at 9-10pm.

Only difference is i dont have the overclocker on...

Most stable and fast build yet. Seems to run like when i had the phone stock which is good enough for me. I have people / calander / bookmark widgets and a clock. Only lag i ever get seems to be when im about to get a sms which is odd lol.
