This rom doesn't use the userinit.sh. It uses the /system/bin/swap file that does basically the same thing.
[G1 Android Development] triniscorpio:
phone is so much faster with linux swap. and no load screens in sight. can really appreciate this rom now..thnx again devs
[G1 Android Development] javacody:
First, thanks for the insult. Very welcoming. Did I insult you in some fashion? Did you feel the need to take a "noob" to task? Well good job on you! Way to go! You feel better now little man?

I'm not complaining about the work done by the devs here at all (as I stated in my comment). I really appreciate all of the great stuff here at xda-developers and all the hard work put in by folks.

And I never said that I had a problem with the HERO roms, just the SMS app. The rest of the ROM rocks. Fast, pretty stable, and I'm pretty impressed with the Facebook integration.

I've found workarounds for my image issue (there is an app to save MMS attachments in the Marketplace that works great, can't remember the name, though).
[G1 Android Development] xREVOx:
wow, thanks for making yourself look like an idiot. i'm not insulting anyone. good job kid. i even addressed your Rosie loading screen issue. Good job.
[G1 Android Development] unnatural1:
javacody,

The app is called save mms. That will take care of the picture problem.

dude chillllllll... he was trying to help YOU out and then you go and start acting like a high school drama queen. seriously, no need for bashing here. he was simply stating there is no need for the WTF or things of that nature within your post... im not trying to play mommy here, but geez, its the stupid posts like yours that junk up these threads, thus making the noobs ask the questions they do because they become to lazy to read through all the nonsense.... sometimes i dont blame them.
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
ok so say i don't have adb on my computer at work. how would i go about disabling compcache and putting linux-swap back on....
[G1 Android Development] free-sidux:
Speed of rosie is great, but I miss ALL my phonecalls :-(
[G1 Android Development] xREVOx:
look two pages back. i posted instructions. please search next time.
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
I searched and couldnt find it, does the method to remove the arc on the lock screen work with 1.7r2
[G1 Android Development] crpercodani:
JAC, do you think you can do a new thread for the next build cuz this one is getting nuts. It is really stupid how so many people post stuff like "wow awesome im flashing now" or something along those lines. And people arguing back and forth, come on guys are we in high school? This thread would be around 300 pages if it wasn't full of junk posts.

help

while trying to install 1.7.....Failure at line 88: copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA: Installation aborted. any ideas? 1.6 installed fine (awesome rom btw)
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
One of two things. Either the download is corrupt, redownload and try again. If that doesn't work it might be having trouble writing to your data directory. Wipe your phone again.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Well, I've had a CRAZY week of work and will finally have some time to fire up ubuntu and get some ish done!
[G1 Android Development] bstapley:
cannot receive any texts

Im using the new 1.7r2 release and i cannot receive any texts from any carrier. My phone makes a notification noise like it received a text, but when i go into messages, it will not show any new ones. Also, my messages threads from different people that i have sent messages to will not open. I click on the thread and it just says Loading but will never load. I tried downloading handcent and chomp to see if it would allow me to view the messages through them, but still no luck. any ideas? and yes I've formatted my ext3 and did a factory wipe. I've also re-installed this rom 3 separate times just to see if that would help. Still no luck! Annoying!! Note: I use backup for root users to restore my files and apps..... :mad:

update: I just tried installing another hero rom and it did the same thing......
[G1 Android Development] rickymello:
i re-downloaded, and did a wipe and i was able to install, but now it loops at the "HERO" and "HTC" screen. i also tried a wipe and reinstall again but still loops.

anyone else having this problem? or anyone successfully install 1.7?

:D great news. i cant wait to see what new ish you guys cone up with next
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
I've had the same problem, and it seems the only solution is to not restore your mms. But I have another problem. Right now, I'm using the default mms application, and it seems that spell check is turned off for it. Anyone else having this issue? I've flashed multiple times, tried Twisted's release, and still have the same problem. I've since fallen back on chompSMS, but I really do prefer the default one. If anyone figures it out, lemme know.
[G1 Android Development] SG_Shadow:
Fantastic Job! This is the fastest running hero ROM I've seen thus far. I was using cyanogen 4.0.4 for stability but this seems just as stable. The only thing that would make this ROM perfect is blue tooth support. I will keep my eyes open. Once again, keep up the good work.
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
im gonna try 1.7r2

ill comment later .
[G1 Android Development] q426669:

[G1 Android Development] nephron:
Whats the best swap for this rom? 32mb or 96mb? I see both....
[G1 Android Development] youneek:
I installed this on 2 phones. Rosie is amazing but otherwise, this build is HORRIBLE! This feels like 2 steps back. In 1.6 I didn't get hardly any loading screens, now I get it all the time... what gives?!
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
i tried several times to flash 1.7r2 but i always get boot loop :S why ? i was in 1.6 :S and then flashed to cm 4.0.4 and then to 1.7r2 :S whay am i doing wrong ? have to go back to 1.6 and then 1.7 ?
[G1 Android Development] joadchob:
guys do u know which build is better 2.73.405.5 or 2.83.x.x ? by the way i tried 1.7r2 and i had a problem with the keyboard the message press M in the tutorial dont dissapear when im using the keyboard, any idea ?
[G1 Android Development] juanrvalle:
Wifi problems

does anybody has had problems enabling wifi on their 1.72r2 installation, can anybody explain how to enable. every time i try to enable it tells me that it is unable to start!
[G1 Android Development] oMszKikiIzWavyo:
Well people you must understand everyone g1 is different, you guys should appreciate a mastermind like Jac for coming up with wonderful roms, cuz if you dont, you never know he might stop, and then what will happen. Jac, I appreciate your work so continue on doing what you do. You guys also have to realize that he is takin he precious time to come up with all of these experiments...

And i know in the future there will be more that doesnt appreciate but as long as Jac have people like me and others that do, He will continue to work on the issues that others who dont appreciate, will fill be fixed.
[G1 Android Development] oMszKikiIzWavyo:
By the way, thank you. This really does work. But I change the 30 to 78, and i havent had any loadscreens yet, but i didn't use adb to push the file to the bin folder, I used "SU File Manager & Terminal", let me explain, after I changed the numbers i dropped the user.conf file to the root folder of my sdcard, then i went to the file manager, copied the user.conf, then paste it to the system/bin folder of my g1.

Now I dont know if this will work for you people, but it did for me. Like I said everyone g1 if different....
[G1 Android Development] x1tyme:
No wifi here too...:confused:
[G1 Android Development] xitaxuta:
im using the last build 1.72r2 and wifi works flawless...

the rom is BLAZING FAST !! a couple bugs here and there.. nothing major tho..

oh yeah.. im using linux-swap (96mb with 90 swappiness) instead of compcache.. way too much lags and HTC Screens with CC enable tbh.
[G1 Android Development] anddep:
this rom is very smooth and applications opens alot quick but i get alot of loading screen.. had it stock didnt mess with nothing got alot loading screens so i turned off CC and turned on linux-swap same thing.. good thing is that its useable and them loading screen dont take long to load.

another thing i tried to change some images and it wooldn't let me. the images come out distorted and get touchflo FC.. diffrent framework or something?

just heads up to people that wanna flash this.. im still using it stock nothing changed
[G1 Android Development] ChrisChavez:
Wow. Thanks a lot man. You've helped me out SOOOO much in the past and you're doing it again! Lol...

Don't think I'll flash this... For the first time in MONTHS I've flashed over to Cyanogen. Wanna return to Hero once they get it right. =p
[G1 Android Development] anddep:
lol no prob.. its worth flashin to play with though, u will be amazed;)
[G1 Android Development] TDMaster:
Rom 1.7 is very fast Wifi works Great job... :) :)

is it possible to add Hebrew GUI to the Hero ROM?
[G1 Android Development] Nagoki:
To those who are getting boot loop with JAC Hero 1.7 after repairing, wiping, and reinstalling: Try reformatting and repartitioning your sd card. It solved my dilemma after flashing from 1.6.

Also 96 meg swap partition + JacxHeroSki 1.7r2 = rape! Try this rom now and leave compcache (default) on!

P.S. Hello everyone...:p
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
JAC and I apologize for our ROMs raping you :)
[G1 Android Development] tink-14:
how would i go about changing my swap from 32 to 96???
[G1 Android Development] tink-14:
why have i flashed this rom and keep getting touch input stopped unexpectedly force close
[G1 Android Development] Cardnal:
I have to agree. First go I had an issue with the Hero logo not even coming up. So I reformatted sdcard with 96 mb swap and left cc default. Blazing fast. I do see a couple of bugs here and there, but nothing to be concerned with. Still the fastest rom I have loaded yet.
[G1 Android Development] Cardnal:
In the instructions on page one of thread it shows making the swap 32 megs.

"mkpartfs primary linux-swap 7700 7732"

Just change that to 96 instead.

If you already have three partitions then it would be (assuming 8 gig card)

Reboot and enter recovery

Enter console

#parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

#print (to verfiy we know what size card we are dealing with, the details should be straight forward)

rm 1

rm 2

rm 3

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7136

mkpartfs primary ext2 7136 7636

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 7636 7732

Next we need to "quit" parted and upgrade our ext2 partition to ext3

#upgrade_fs

Voila!
[G1 Android Development] nabzilla1990:
just when i was starting to give up on rosie this info saved the day perfect swap and swappiness settings been 30 minutes and no loading screen with heavy use will report back later today but seems flawless for now
[G1 Android Development] rreyes0416:
Can somebody explain me why is not doing automatically app2sd none of the customs roms of hero that I tried... i reformat like 30 times the sd card and follow all the instruction and nothing...
[G1 Android Development] onilink67:
what are the order of your partitions its supposed to be

Fat32

Ext 2/3

linux-swap
[G1 Android Development] rubensun:
user.conf

hey nabz

did you have to update your user.conf, or did you just start with a larger partition?

earlier while people were reporting good performance with linux-swap vs. cc I tried to update my user.conf, and was having trouble remounting /system as read/write.

but if I don't need to touch it. perfect.
[G1 Android Development] rubensun:
cime

also. haykuro's CIME does or doesn't work on this build?
[G1 Android Development] nabzilla1990:
i changed the user.conf put it in the update and signed it and just flashed it but first I reformatted and changed the sizes of the ex3 and linux swap
[G1 Android Development] rreyes0416:
Believe me i have been following the instrucction step by step... 1st step: partition my 8gb mini card in print command says 8017mb so... fat32 with 7484mb , ext2 500mb and 32mb swap...2nd: then upgrade to ext3 3rd: then print to verify my 3 partitions 4th: then I go to recovery and check my ext to see if need repaired, after that 5th: I wipe then 6th: flash my hero rom(update.zip) then when it boot and I go to settings to check the storage it only shows the sd card storange and the internal with 80mb please if im missing something let me know...
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
You're not missing anything. That's how it will show. It will not show the 500MB from the card as internal storage.
[G1 Android Development] rreyes0416:
Ok but why when i install programs ... the internal memory starts to go down... it was 80 after fresh install and i install like 7 apps and know is at 63... what happens if goes to 0? it would crash or it will start using the 500?
[G1 Android Development] garsi137:
I had same problem as you are describing. Just reboot your device before you install anything, up to first or second reboot all apps going to internal memory.
[G1 Android Development] rreyes0416:
Ok thanks for that... hopefully its just about a couple of reboot and thats it!!!
[G1 Android Development] garsi137:
One should be enough. Obviously only the apps installed after this reboot will be going into sd card.
[G1 Android Development] rubensun:
folks

folks to mount /system in read write in terminal you need to

enter the following command (as a SU of course)

"mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"

(rather than just "mount -o remount,rw /system")

here's the thread that refers to this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4141394&postcount=1

to edit the user.conf, follow the instructions in the stickied post at the top.

hope this helps.
[G1 Android Development] Cardnal:
Someone better at this than me should correct me if I am wrong, But I was under the impression that the apps install to the Sdcard.. but relating data from those apps still goto internal storage. So the 80 will go down either way after programs installed, just not as much.
[G1 Android Development] Qancer:
is it just me or is WIFI not working?
[G1 Android Development] Jefpier:
Any way to get the plurk apk's ?????
[G1 Android Development] hustla:
1.7 is the awesome

Turned off comp cache and loading screens went away. This rom is super fast getting all calls and messages so far. Best rom by far no complaints at this point .
[G1 Android Development] Melo.One:
what kind of bugs are you seeing occasionally? i would love to flash to 1.7 (currently on 1.6) but there are too many comments in here that seem to say its not that stable...i haven't had problems at all since i started flashing two weeks ago and i would hate to start now...
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
Say what you will, but I turned all the swap/comcache/backing swap crap off.... I am running swapper with a 96mb swap file, 80 swappiness, and pointing the file to /system/sd/swapfile.swp

Running FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAST.

I'm having problems with the location service though, it hasn't worked at all since loading this rom.
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
the same thing happened to me...restart ya phone a few times
[G1 Android Development] xitaxuta:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cl8p3U3npug

for those who keep saying this rom is still too slow

this video show how smooth runs even on a CLASS 4 sdcard
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
what problems are you having with location? i think i may have a solution. does it deal with ur maps saying ur in a different country if your gps is turned off?
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
I wiped, reformatted, and reinstalled. Got location working.

Again, slow with default settings, I turned off compcache and backing swap, and just use swapper with a SWAP FILE, 96mb/80 swappiness... lightning fast.
[G1 Android Development] mmudassir:
How to turn off CompCache and Backing SWAP

Hey Vr24,

"Again, slow with default settings, I turned off compcache and backing swap, and just use swapper with a SWAP FILE, 96mb/80 swappiness... lightning fast. "

how do I make the 96MB Swap? and turn off the compcache and backing swap ? Command Line ? or any settings in the Settings of that ROM ?

Take Care,
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
Download "Swapper" off the market. Make sure you change the swapfile location to "/system/sd/swapfile.swp" - the rest is self explanatory.

As for turning off compcache and backing swap....

go to terminal and:

su

rwsystem

cp /system/bin/user.conf /sdcard/user.conf

Open the file in notepad and set the en_compcache_CC and backing swap to "0" instad of 1, I can't think of the specific names, but it's obvious. Save the file back on your sd card.. then

su

rwsystem

cp /sdcard/user.conf /system/bin/user.conf
[G1 Android Development] TailsNeon556:
is there anyway to get text prediction to work? i got nothin
[G1 Android Development] Wolf61477:
and as soon as you mount your g1 to your pc its gonna corrupt your sdcard until you reboot the phone. the best way to do this is either in paragon partition manager or gparted, or use parted from recovery. the swapper app is not needed to run linux-swap. as for editing the compcache and back swap settings..just pull the user.conf from the system/bin and edit it with something like notepad++ and push it back into system/bin
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
It shouldn't if you will make sd_split in user.conf
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
That's why you point the location of the swapfile to a non-sdcard location.

Maybe it's needed, maybe it's not. I have had zero luck doing swap using the linux-swap partition and letting the ROM handle it on its own.

I'm getting lightning fast response times, and ZERO loading screens, even after heavy usage like web browsing, running it the way I said. Just sharing my experience, not looking to debate it.
[G1 Android Development] 18.4009:
Do you think with a class 2 card I should stick with the Compcashe or go with the linux swap? I really need to get a class 6 card but atm I cant do that so which would you think would be better?

Thanks!

18.4009
[G1 Android Development] bigchi2000:
so are you running linux swap on top of using swapper?? just curious
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
Almost everyone is saying compcache is really slow on this build. I would definitely go with a swap.
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
Nope. Just swapper.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
The default settings worked great for me.
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
Does anybody know how to remove the arc on the lockscreen on this version.
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Yeah, I just finished flashing and everything works fine, but this (in SMS only apparently). No text prediction...

Is the MMS.apk the one used for Messages? Could I push the one from 1.6r2 to 1.7?
[G1 Android Development] dragonranpu:

My location doesn't seem to work all of the time either. I can't find myself on Google maps without gps, and it always thinks I'm in my suburban hometown city even when I go elsewhere.

Bluetooth

I know none of the Hero builds currently have bluetooth working. However I do remember reading somewhere that there is a change coming in how bluetooth operates. It was stating that it will be moving to an 802.11xx system much like wifi and according to many online resources the new bluetooth 3.0 standard has taken effect in late April. My wonder is if the Hero could have been one of the first mobile phones with this new bluetooth standard and if this could be the very ROOT of all Hero Bluetooth evil...Further research will be done to check into this issue. ok so i was wrong i am seeing bluetooth 2.0 everywhere
