Hi,

flashed both jacxhero 1.3 and 1.4. However, I find that 1.3 is much faster than 1.4. Is it just me or is anyone else facing the same phenomenon?

Btw, I'm using 96mb swap.

Thanks jac n CC for the superb work thus far!
[G1 Android Development] RaQHoliday:
I'm using the same old 32MB linux-swap, and noticing a speed increase on 1.4; I used 1.3, as well as Drizzy's HERO Full v3, and I saw HTC/Load screens on both occasionally. Have yet to see the load screen on 1.4, plus the working LED is a big plus.
[G1 Android Development] anduslim:
I see. I guess I shld revert back to the 32mb for 1.4. Thanks man!
[G1 Android Development] aznpulse:
I get that as well. Also my lock screen has a missing spot that fits the rosie launcher.

I'm not sure if it's me but I partitioned, wiped and flashed twice.
[G1 Android Development] Bzerk1:
it's also good for them to find out what to fix, and what seems like big problems and whats small. but i agree that people shouldnt bicker about them.
[G1 Android Development] shorteh:
Dunno if it's just me but so far here's a bug I've noticed.

Not getting SMS messages or MMS Messages.

Anytime I try to open the messaging app, it force closes.

Other than that stuff I'm good with it.
[G1 Android Development] abteer:
Sounds like you need to repartition you EXT2/3 and your linux swap and reflash. Also download the file again to make sure you didn't get a bad download.
[G1 Android Development] RaQHoliday:
I was able to send an sms to my google voice number without a FC, and also receive a txt from my GV number to my mobile number. I'll monitor it a bit more throughout the day, and if i get txts on my GV# without receiving a msg in my SMS app, I'll report back.

This is the first HERO rom I've used for some time that didn't FC when I sent an SMS tho, I must say.
[G1 Android Development] ce_rob:
though 1.4 does seem snappier, i've already experienced the HTC screen + the loading screen after going from the weather app back home. i didn't sit and wait for a minute like i have in the past, so it seems that though i've experienced these screens with every hero build i've flashed, these seem to disappear more quickly now.

i haven't touched any settings; just flashed the rom with 32mb linux-swap and haven't changed swappiness or anything, in case anyone was wondering.

*edit, just got the htc logo/loading screen after hitting home from the browser. i guess those screens are here to stay....
[G1 Android Development] shorteh:
Thanks for the suggestion.

Here's what I'm trying now.

1) Formatted SD Card

2) Wiped

3) Repaired EXT File Systems

4) Flashing the ROM

5) Reboot

Hopefully this works!
[G1 Android Development] truthkilla:
I downloaded from both of the sites and I keep getting a boot loop. F*** it i'll stick with JacxRom.
[G1 Android Development] parrothd:
I use a larger ram disk, currently at 64, allows you to swap back and forth from the browser to home without the load screen usually..
[G1 Android Development] ce_rob:
a few roms ago, i had a 64mb and 96mb linux-swap, both of which resulted in load screens anyway. i wonder if i try upping from 32mb if with this rom, it'll eliminate them...
[G1 Android Development] parrothd:
Definitely need a class 6 card with fast read/write speeds..

I can open browser, calendar, MMS Messages, HTC Mail, Copilot and switch to the home screen and apps without any load screens, I'm running version 1.1, using 64 mb swap using > 35 mb swap with all that running.....
[G1 Android Development] NeightSix:
I have a 96mb swap and 60 swappiness and I'm on 1.3. It flies. Home screen takes about 2 secs to come up, and there's no loading screen, for anything really. It really runs faster than cupcake (I was on JF1.5).

GPS works on 3G

Wifi Works

LED doesn't

Messaging doesn't
[G1 Android Development] danieljordanmaddux:
I'm on 1.4 with a 128MB linux-swap with swappiness set to 120 and about 300 apps installed and it boots completely in less than a minute and flies like hell! I haven't had but maybe 2 loading screens since flashing this rom yesterday and so far no problems. This rom is the best yet!
[G1 Android Development] timelyne:
no screenshots of what this ROM looks like?
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Just looks like a regular Hero ROM no graphical edits
[G1 Android Development] timelyne:
I don't know if you experiment with both but if you did

is this HERO ROM better than this ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=543621 In terms of performance and features?
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
cupcake vs. hero is what you're comparing here. Cupcake is considerably faster than hero but hero is catching up with the help of linux-swap and a class6 MicroSD. IMHO I prefer the Hero becuase scrolling between screens is smoother but overall speed goes to cupcake :)

EDIT: To truly compare the two you'd have to flash and play with them. I find that I tell that to at least 20 people a day. Test and figure it out.. each person uses different roms for different reasons. Hope this helps.
[G1 Android Development] NeoAssassin:
Can someone please help me? I flashed the radio update, which worked. Then I did the SPL and now my G1 is stuck at the "T-mobile G1" boot screen. Any help will greatly be appreciated!
[G1 Android Development] Noirlecroi:
hopefully you have a card reader, install the update, boot into recovery, wipe and flash.....there are instructions on how to do this on another thread (I've been there too, bud):)
[G1 Android Development] eugene373:
Sounds like you need to Flash the Rom now, Did the sameting after Flashing Radio & new SPL. Got stuck at the G1 screen, Fact of the Matter was I forgot to Reflash my Rom after update.
[G1 Android Development] dragonranpu:
Put card in reader and copy rom file toc ard.

Reboot phone into revovery mode and flash then You should be all set.:)
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
your phone is now bricked. the only way itsnot bricked is if u haven't turned your phone off yet. but if u restarted your phone without flashing reflashing then your G1 is now considered "no good". i can speak from experienced, because this happened to me twice.
[G1 Android Development] HighRidas:
i had the same problem what i did is uninstalled the market app then took the vending.apk from 1.3 and moved it to the app_s folder using root explorer now works fine
[G1 Android Development] clefky10:
Na, just reflash with rom and you should be fine. It says all this is instructions though from where you got spl...
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
If u dont believe me then buy a g1...flash spl...reboot without reflashing...and u tell me if u can even get to a recovery mode....u wont be able...so u can only comment on this if u actually experienced it
[G1 Android Development] clefky10:
Yeah I've done that, why else would i comment...

edit: I actually rebooted 3-4 times lol
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Nope, you'll be fine. Unless your case was one in a million. I typically restart, forgetting that the SPL takes the ROM off, and get to G1 screen. Then Turn off and boot into recovery mode fine.
[G1 Android Development] SokRatha:
JAC,

I know you guy so rock in this forum, and what you have done is look great so far.

I would like to say something about the HERO 1.4, I love it as this is simply like the Original HERO ROM and no rubbish application added. But you know, it abit slow compare to Drizzy FULL HERO built, I have no idea whether it cause by dalvik-cache move to SD or not, and in the ringtome list, it always list double name (same as in Drizzy's).

Another thing is that, there is some one in the forum seem to find some way to make LED work, so will you wish to add it to your next build?

Really thanks for your great share.
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
i did the same thing.. freaked out for a minute till i realized that i just lost the rom.... *grins* almost cried for a second also
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
uhhhh the led does work in 1.4. well for sms messages anyways and when the battery is full it turns on.... dim as it may be it does work.. plus d/l taskiller and put the kill all widget on ur desktop... and put touchflo and can't remember the other process on ignore and just just hit the kill all button.. works like a charmmm...
[G1 Android Development] NeoAssassin:
Okay, I guess I need to go buy a USB microsd card reader tomorrow... I didn't format the SD card yet, so I am assuming I have to do that first before I install Jac's Hero. Say if I wanted to switch to CyogenMod in the future... I just need to flash the rom and that's it, right? Thanks again for the help!!
[G1 Android Development] nikhilv.13:
The LED is Working :D

hey guys,

Just flashed the 1.4 Rom, and its working great... quite a bit of loading time, but i guess that's coz i'm using a class 2 SD. Just wanted to know how come there's nothing in the change log about the LEDs? My LED seems to be working. Whenever there's a notification, it just comes on in Green colour. Thats about all it does. which is pretty cool considering it wasn't working before this. just wanted to know if there's gonna be any further development on that any time soon.

I'm using a HTC Dream, Cyanogen Recovery 1.4, JACxHEROSkiv 1.4.

Great job guys. Thanks a ton. :)

Nikhil
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
yup that is it.. you gotta partition your sd card though.. fat32 ext3 and linux-swap.. i would suggest buying a class 6 card and not using the stock or it will lag really bad... also when switching back and forth make sure you format the ext3 by following the instructions which are littered all over this thread..
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
hahahahaha.....found compcache settings for this rom
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
how exactly do u get into those settings to set compcache???? i've always wanted to try it out for ****s and giggless but never really knew how to get to it...
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
Here's how to enable it:

Code:

modprobe ramzswap

rzscontrol /dev/block/ramzswap0 --init

swapon /dev/block/ramzswap0

Might be good to reboot the phone here.
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
if i do that... does it disable linux-swap??? or does it work with linux-swap???
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
u have to edit the script
[G1 Android Development] k1293:
i cant get it past the hero and htc boot screen..why? help me..
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
well first off. u obviously have the right spl and radio correct? ur sdcard is partitioned 3 ways correct? fat32 an ext3 and linux-swap... and if so did you format and wipe before you flashed the hero rom??/ answer these questions and we will continue
[G1 Android Development] k1293:
my radio is 2.33.19.261 and my spl is 1.33.2005 i have ext1 2 and 3..ext2 is 500mb and ext3 is 32mb
[G1 Android Development] diz305chico:
^^^^^huh^^^^^^
[G1 Android Development] k1293:
what do u mean huh
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
you should have

FAT32

EXT2 or EXT3

linux-swap
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
u sure? i didnt miss a thing on drizzy 2.2r2. i got problems in 2.3 and up.
[G1 Android Development] k1293:
i do i did that upgrade_fs thing too..
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
i had the same problem, i could see the notification bar for a second then just the htc screen. i pulled the battery, wiped, flashed again and got the same screen, then i pulled the battery and restarted the phone and it worked.

no rhyme or reason to it but it worked, just keep fiddling with it
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
ok you shouldn't have an ext2 and ext 3... just fat32 ext2 upgraded to ext3 and a linux-swap.. that's all.. remake ur partitions... by following the guide on the first page...
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
just tried out the new rosie color script.. it is sooo cool it changes the drawer color... yay
[G1 Android Development] k1293:
wait so delete the roms then remake them...then flash the rom? and what does converting to ext 2 or converting to ext 3 mean i dont understand that?
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
u gotta d/l cyn's recovery rom.. cuz it will make ur partitions for you... you need to create a fat32 primary, a ext2, and a linux-swap.... you will than quit outta the partition program and type.. Upgrade_fs this will take that ext2 and turn it into an ext3... u will than need to put your memory card into the card reader and put the rom back on it and flash it....
[G1 Android Development] k1293:
umm i already have all those 3 partions..
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
ok.. than format ur ext3 partition... wipe, fix file ext, and reinstall the rom...
[G1 Android Development] k1293:
how do i format it?
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
Sounds about right.:)
[G1 Android Development] k1293:
how do i format the ext3 partion tho
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
As most people would say.. SEARCH.. but it's below

(using console)

# mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd

# rm -rf /system/sd/*

# reboot recovery
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
i have been formatting my ext with rm -r /system/sd/* but it hasnt worked for jachero1.4 or drakfullv3, ive had to remove the partition and remake it. whats a better way to format the ext on hero builds? thanks
[G1 Android Development] k1293:
is my ext 3 spose to say..linux-swap(v1)?..the size is 32.2 mb
[G1 Android Development] k1293:
dam if i delete the ext2 partion will i loose all my apps?
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
Yes that's where they're installed. I take it this is your first time?
[G1 Android Development] k1293:
its my first time deleting al my partions to make new ones..y do i hafta do this..and do i hafta convert ext 2 to ext3 even tho i dont understand what that does..

ok guys i think i enabled linux swap on this rom but wen i type free in the terminal its says total=0 used=0 free=0..is it spose to be this way?????
[G1 Android Development] Nedlinin:
Well, decided to try out Hero -- Switched from Cyan

Downloaded and stuck it on my SD, booted into recovery, Nandroided, then wiped and hit update. Update fails with

E:Can't chown/mod /system/xbin (No such file or directory)
E:Failure at line 76:
set_perm_recursive 0 2000 0755 06755 SYSTEM:xbin
Installation aborted.

Searched here and saw some people having the same basic error and resolved it by formatting their SD. I reformatted every partition on my card and stuck the JAC update zip on my SDcard to try again. Same error.

The MD5Sum matches the posted one on the first post.

I have the newest radio and I just updated from HardSPL to the DangerSPL.

Anyone have any idea?

Hey guys. I haven't been on in a long time, but I finally got my new memory card.

I haven't even updated to any of the new Hero roms based on the official leaked Hero.

So I tried making and ext3 partition to try a2sd for the first time and ended up with a bootloop. I was wondering if anyone can tell me where they found good instructions for creating the ext3 partition? I did it in paragon giving it like 600 mb, and I thought I did it right. Or pm me if you think you can help.

I've been reading and following a couple guides, but haven't gotten anything to work yet. Thanks so much to everyone, especially JAC

cd to the directory where you copied Superuser.apk from 2.4

in command prompt type

adb remount

adb push Superuser.apk /system/sd/app_s

adb shell

reboot

once it reboots you will have superuser
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
are there terminal commands, or i guess youd need su perm...? thanks
[G1 Android Development] ebg10:
Put the Superuser.apk on the root of your sdcard.

In terminal:

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

cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/sd/app_s/Superuser.apk

then reboot
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
And if you're not using apps2sd, same commands with the exception of:

if its hanging and locking, just try to reboot, and the second time it loads itll have the htc logo but this time it should go pass. just wait for a little bit.
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
i think i already posted about being stuck at htc screen but seeing notification bar. i had to remove the ext partition then recreate it. I had the same problem 3 separate times and removing and recreating was all that worked. Every time i formatted ext but it only worked when i recreated it

But if ccyrowski says pull keyboard, thats definitely what you should do.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
yea, the notification bar always shows, then disappears, and you're left with the HTC screen. Pop open the keyboard for a few seconds then close. Usually I'll press home or menu or something because I'm impatient then the setup screen will come.

Me too, the MyTouch just kills. But JAC and I are working on some betas that are significantly faster. Nonetheless, cupcake treats me well enough.

Open question to the senior members and developers......

Anybody of you guys know how to manually index the file system for using in G1? i.e my music player, albums, video player and even downloader for browser are not recognizing my SDCARD(FAT partition) one of the errors i found out that file system is not indexed.

its because my sd card partition is not detected automatically on every boot , i need to issue mount command to manually mount it on /sdcard directory. so all the apps are not recognizing it since they are already initialized.

so please tell me how to index the partition manually and make my applications recognize it.

Its kind of unique problem but i didn't have solution , i was posting this since a week.

I am using jacxhero v1.4 and flash recovery 1.4
