so why not just install it as is, then remove the language files you don't want via adb?

Am I missing something?

So, I flashed 2.4 yesterday (by the way, love it, super smooth) but then noticed the twitter postings by Drizzy stating an updated 2.4 was also posted, so I downloaded that and flashed as well. Now, I've re-downloaded a couple times to be sure I am getting the right file..but I noticed I have things there that were supposed to have been removed (teeter, stocks and stocks widget) Has the version without these not been uploaded yet? Or am I doing something wrong haha

Also noticed that I can't change my wallpaper for the home screen in this build (the 2.4 I downloaded yesterday and the one today) just boots up that awesome htc logo when I change it and bam it's the jacHero wallpaper still. Yes I have swapper set to how it says in the instructions.
[G1 Android Development] RaQHoliday:
Missed a REALLY important txt this morning... =[

OK, I'm flashing back to 5.02Hr5 until this SMS thing gets sorted out. I can't afford to miss emergencies like this, man. Hope it gets resolved soon, looking at the Magic build after having run Hero for a few weeks is pretty abysmal.

Is anyone else getting force closes when you try to add the clock widget?
[G1 Android Development] Deejaydark:
what am i doing wrong ?

I dl jachero 2.4 today and very pleased with it but when I leave the browser or apps I have to wait at least 30 to 40 seconds until it finish loading. What am I doing wrong cuz apparently no one else is having that problem. Can someone help me please. So far that I know of the rom I'm using (ramjet r7) has no problem what so ever. Can someone help me with this issue I'm having cuz I would love to use jachero 2.4. Thank you.
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
dont forget to check out JACMyTouchSki! :)

Now that that project has dropped i can get back to Hero
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Nice name :), A question I know that the clock widget provided by htc with the weather uses ALOT of memory, do the alternative clocks use as much memory? I remember after deleting that clock widget going back to Rosie is alot faster :D
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Nah man i use the weather widget clock...its the same thing except the clock doesnt flip lol....way less memory....same as the analog clock doesnt lag at all

How does one resize the swap with compcache?
[G1 Android Development] taifuller:
I've read all 519 pages of this thread (not to mention others as well) and I haven't achieved the performance that I see some claiming. JAC does great work and I check this page about every 30 min for updates but I think some of the "NO LAG" claims that others are making are exaggerating. My performance after compcache.. linux-swaps.. swappiness editing...you name it I tried it (where appropriate) hasnt been as smooth. Who knows maybe I'm running too many widgets....

I'm addicted to flashing and tweaking so I'll never stop trying.

I would like to see more youtube video of others performance so I have a baseline and something to strive for.
[G1 Android Development] cronin4392:
Yeah I feel the same way. After an hour or so my phone becomes very slow. Ive tried multiple swapiness's along with other things.
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Here is my crappy you tube video (recorded from my other G1) of my G1 running Hero, version 2.7.3 with a 4gb class 6 sd card and 64 linux-swap partition.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxLZOhUA3R0
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
I have NO LAG. It's not just a "claim" I posted a crappy video as PROOF.
[G1 Android Development] taifuller:
You're right.. that was a crappy video. LOL I'm just messing with you. Thanks, that was really helpful for me. I'm going to try to replicate your setup and see if I get the same performance. I may PM you for more details.

BTW- How long have you been running that build? Was that after a fresh reboot?
[G1 Android Development] q426669:
Widgets play a HUGE part in reducing lag. The bigger and more powerful the widget, the more lag it makes. Also, the more screens used, the more lag. What I do is only use 3 pages. Just leave the other 4 blank. Use as few widgets as possible. I set up a second "scene" with a lot of widgets that I switch to when I wanna show off the capability's. My regular "for use" scene contains the SMALL calendar, Small Digital Clock, and Google search. I also use 3 Regular folders containing 99% of my apps, one Live Folder (Favs), and then the 5 applications that I actually use EVERYday (Cam, GoogleVoice, People, Albums, & Shuffle)

I also reboot my phone just before I take it off the charger in the morning, and then I also reboot it after I get home from work (8hours). This has kept things running pretty much lag free, though I do get some lag if I have opened a lot of intense applications one right after the other. (Mobile Defence, followed by browser, then to peep, then into people to check FB updates, after I leave the browser there is some lag until I either kill the tasks, or they turn off by themselves.)

I hope that this drawl of a post helps you guys run with a little less lag! =)
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
The phone has been this way for two weeks (or since the day 2.7.3 came out) Right now, my "awake" time is 16 hours and xx minutes.
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Actually the widgets make little difference if your set up is right. I am using 6 screens with widgets right now...big clock, calendar, favorite people, boomarks, twitter, weather and my facebook is synced to give my calendar updates and NO lag. Honestly!
[G1 Android Development] VGPOP:
Wow.

Cyans 3.6.8 is like 5X faster than JACHero.
[G1 Android Development] taifuller:
MY man! that's what I'm talking about! Helpful information!

Hey thanks for the upload and the info. Maybe we should include this type of info going forward when discuss performance..
[G1 Android Development] instechgainza:
no doubt for that
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
i certainly don't see it as being 5x faster. maybe 2 seconds at the most for the majority of the apps... also comparing 3.6.8 or whatever it is to a hero is like comparing apples to oranges. to totally different worlds.... but from that video and from what i do everyday on my hero rom the little lag i get here and there is well worth it for the sheer beauty or sense UI!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
I need help gettin the best performance out of 2.7.4r2...Can someone please help me out.
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
Change compcache size.

If anyone wants to change the compcache size open the a2sd script (pull from /system/bin or rip from .zip) and edit the line that starts as disksize_kb=.

For example:

From

disksize_kb=32000

To

disksize_kb=64000

btw, 32000kb=32mb
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
i still don't think 2.7.4r2 is quite ready yet for the big time. i'm still running 2.7.1 or 2.7.3 can't remember lol. but i'm sticking with what works well at the moment. eventually they will iron out the compcache thing and it will be working well. i'd really like to see compcache and linux-swap somehow working hand in hand... like allowing compcache to handle the system processes only like touch-flo rosie that kind of thing, while linux-swap handles the other programs. it just seems like the whole rom uses memory very poorly at the moment still.
[G1 Android Development] anddep:
so flashin the newest rom do i still need to make a partition for linux-swap?

-i got multiple text by pressing the send button once.. check it out gotten that super lag

[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
I just figured it out myself. So I can't really recommend anything at the moment. But, I have my compcache at 64mb and the swappiness at 30.

Only time can tell if it is right or not. I'm going to give my settings an hour or so to see if there's any adverse affects.
[G1 Android Development] instechgainza:
alright thanks..
[G1 Android Development] Strongbow:
As with all builds and including the current JAC Hero, when I experience lagging first thing is general maintenance. Do a restart and clear your caches. Between the Browser and the market caches there are times you can end up with more than 20MB of memory used in those caches alone.

One other thing, don't open the keyboard. Most if not all of the freezing(not lag) went away. Tough to break the habit of popping the keyboard all the time.

I can report a not perfect, but nearly perfect experience. I have tried all the builds and am a power user. Finally, I can use Hero for everyday use. Albeit, occasionally wanting to hurl the phone when I get real busy.

I know others have brought up these points in various areas but I feel that emptying caches, restarting, being an email or sms slut, alone or in any combination will lag a phone and are often overlooked. It's always everyone elses fault, never the owner's.:D

JAC's Hero is usable for daily use and lags very little, if not insignifigcantly.
[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
i did!!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
how can i pull the compcache file so i can modify
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
Man I'm terrible at this. I think it's something like.

adb pull /system/bin/a2sd/

or

adb shell pull /system/bin/a2sd/

If I wrong (I'm sure I am) can someone correct me.

I luv all the devs work on this build. So don't get me wrong. We would be nowhere without their time and efforts. But i'm sticking with 2.7.1. I was getting 78 compression but it was just to slow for me.

My only problem now is that I still can't get the thumbnail pictures to come up in the threads. I still have a big grey square but no pictures.

still praying for an update tomorrow!

Keep up the great work. :p
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
very close.

as an example (i'm using linux)

adb pull /system/bin/a2sd /home/chad/Desktop

EDIT THEM

adb remount

adb push /home/chad/Desktop/a2sd /system/bin

adb shell reboot
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
Thank you.:D

I use linux to but rarely do I have to pull a file, I usually rip the file that I need from the zip then push it.
[G1 Android Development] kingskidd268:
off topic

got google voice already .
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
is there anyway to do this using terminal
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
open the zip and pull out the a2sd file from /system/bin

edit it with a text editor.

put a2sd on your sdcard

in terminal...

su

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

rm /system/bin/a2sd

busybox cp /sdcard/a2sd /system/bin/a2sd

then reboot your phone
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
~sigh~ yes... how many times are we gonna ask this question?

Terminal commands:

$su

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

#cp /system/bin/a2sd /sdcard/

plug in phone with USB adapter and grab the file that you just copied, modify to heart's content with notepad or similar, put back on sdcard

#rm /system/bin/a2sd

#cp /system/sdcard/a2sd /system/bin/

On another note. Is there anyways to have the compcache automatically unload anything it isn't using anymore? Mine fills up rather quickly and then doesn't let go of anything and I become once again reliant on the linux-swap, slowing it down again...
[G1 Android Development] taifuller:
thanks for the tips...

I'm certainly appreciative of the work of JAC for creating this. If I understand correctly he's just had a baby so I'm sure his hands are quite full.

I follow similar phone etiquette rules to try to reduce resource usage. (First smartphone was an MPX-200)

My post was intended to get other users to post more info on their individual (successful) setup as Breakthecycle2 did. The more knowledge on what works well the better for all!
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
If your phone has been on for a while, I would check whether the compcache has been filled up. Once it does, prepare for lagginess once more.

adb shell cat /proc/swaps

If ramzswap0 has filled, then that could be causing your lagginess. You will need to either restart your phone to clear it, or quicker:

adb shell swapoff /dev/ramzswap0

adb shell swapon /dev/ramzswap0

You might want to make sure that the compcache has a higher priority than the linux-swap, if it doesn't, just swapoff/swap on /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 to get the priorities straight. I tried writing a script to do this for me, but it never actually works... haha. So I just type the commands manually for now...
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
how can i modify...i opened it up in notepad but dont know how to modify...sorry if im bugging
[G1 Android Development] taifuller:
cool...

Cool, I'll try that. I've got about 6 weeks to kill so I'm going to try to become a SME on this... If it's cool, I may PM you to get some direction.
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
Thank you.:) These commands work great with Gscript.
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
Sure, its better than filling up this thread that devs need for feedback.
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
I'm happy to be of service.

Mind posting up the the script? I'm too lazy to type it up again. :D
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
2.74 and 2.74r2 are ok but some times it takes time to get them to respond i think 2.73 is faster and if not faster at least less twitchy and the phone part is what has been buggin me when you see the buttons light up but yet it doesnt ring or anything or when i answer and it seems i havent answered but the person its already on the phone i guess just little stuff need to get ironed out
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
Sorry I took so long.

I made a small script pack. Just unzip it to the gscript folder in the microsd card.

edit: Oops, forgot some steps. Open Gscript, press Menu, press Add script, then press Load file to see the scripts and load them.

[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
Not that I'm aware of. But that would be really useful.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Well like for odex files the script is

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

for i in /data/app_s/HTCCamera.apk

do

odex=`echo $i | sed -e 's/.apk/.odex/g'`

echo "dexopt-wrapper $i $odex"

dexopt-wrapper $i $odex

done

ne idea how to customize to lets say 1 to 100 ?

[G1 Android Development] wc326:
can you tell me what does this do ????
[G1 Android Development] jump_912:
that is to quickly clear your ramzswap0 (compcache). it's on the previous page:)
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
Well, If you have Gscript installed, it provides a faster way to execute commands/scripts than having to open the G1 keyboard and typing out every command you need to use.

It's a very efficient tool to use.

Here's there website http://code.google.com/p/gscript-android/

If you're talking about the scripts.

1)Free Space- (cmd: free) shows total memory

2)Comcache Status- (cmd: cat /proc/ramzswap) shows compcache status

3)Check Swap- (cmd: cat /proc/swaps) shows swap size and how much swap is left

4)Swap Off- (cmd: swapoff /dev/ramzswap0) turns off swap

5)Swap On- (cmd: swapon /dev/ramzswap0) turns on swap

I hope that answered your question.
[G1 Android Development] wasuup:
just been testing jacheroski 2.7.4 went back to 2.7.3 slowsd found out a way to get both launcher and rosie on 2.7.3 all you do is install ahome lite free on the market then press home button you see three option (Home TouchFLO aHome) then uninstall ahome you with have both rosie and launcher but a much stable and faster rosie.

Reason went back to 2.7.3 is just the processing speed slower so the phone takes too long for touchflo(rosie) home screen to start so you access the menus about 3 min.

I deleted my linux partition when i flashed mytouch2.0 but i just cant deal with the theme so im coming back to sense. Compcache means i dont need the 3rd partition correct? And in the past few pages i read that compcache gets full and has to be emptied...sounds like a hassle.

can i just flash this as usual (ive flashed every version since jac first started with hero)? Will i have to implement compcache or change settings or constantly be managing it? many thanks, ive read every page in this thread up until about 15 pages ago when things started getting pretty hairy
