I didn't intend to come off so abrasively. I guess I'm just somewhat confused, 1.8b4 worked almost perfectly with swapper and overclock and now many builds later we are having problems with text messaging and browsing so it seems like we're going backwards

But I completely understand that this is free and I should just appreciate whatever is available. I'm just ready for an everyday build and 1.8b4 was so close that it seems odd that so long after that build we are actually worse off. I'll step off my soapbox now. Very sorry for cluttering the thread

I wiped and came from .3 to .6 and I can't get https to work. For example, m.facebook.com doesn't work, neither does www.bankofamerica.com/mobile (or the .mobi). So what's the deal? How do you get it to work? I see you mentioned "it references the google browser" are you using another browser? (i.e. Steel)
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
it is always best to wipe and reformat etx2/3!"
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
Hmmm...im not really sure why it would work for me and not you. I meant that the bank of America app uses references to the Google browser.

You know I just looked at the first post again and I am using the 3.3.6 from this morning not the r2... I wonder if that would make a difference. Do you want me to post a link to it to see if your can use https with that one?

@maverick - I can see how it would be frustrating, especially if you are depending on your phone for work or school.

I had the same issue earlier with HTTS site and I never had it before on any previous build. All I did to resolve it was clear cache.

MMS reception...

Anyone else having issues receiving MMS? I have reset the APN's a couple of times and am wondering if there's something else I'm missing. Just ran fix_permissions as well to see if that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance for the flames. I already have the suit on!

if i already have my sd card set up fat32 ext3 and linux swap can i just download the update from my phone because my card reader seems to have stop working or somethin
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
do we know what the difference is between this and 2.63? twitter says sms is working but i didnt know it wasnt... thanks
[G1 Android Development] CPR123:
Yes you can just download,rename to update and flash
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
ok thanks but where and how do i rename
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
you can download a file explorer from the market and rename it that way.
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
To change your swappiness setting from terminal you would:

su

echo 10 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

Where 10 is you can put whatever number ya want. Now, I want to know how to do it via the a2sd.sh script. I tried pulling out the script earlier with adb and then pushing it back in, but then my phone wouldn't boot after doing so. If anyone wouldn't mind writing a short (commands only) howto, it'd be really nice :)
[G1 Android Development] CPR123:
Download Astro or Linda file manager from the market and use to rename to update.zip
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
do i rename to update or update.zip? and thanks again
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
update.zip
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
What does swappiness do? because i found that the phone runs a lot faster with a smaller swappiness setting...
[G1 Android Development] CPR123:
Rename the file name and leave the .zip extension as is.

eg. JACHero2.63.zip to update.zip

what are the downsides of this rom? what doesn't work and what does work?

and one more thing. i'm on JAC hero 2.22 from a while ago, and i was wondering, do i need to clear my ext3 ? or can i just leave it how it is? and i have a linux swap partition also on my sd card. do i need to mess with that? it's 32 mb.
[G1 Android Development] DoCunnin2:
WHERE IS A MODERATER LOL

PLEASE STOP ASKING QUESTION ON HOW TO SET UP SWAP!!!!!

THIS THREAD ISNT A HOW TO!!!

if you cant figure it out by trial and error or by reading and searching the forum. you need to leave ur phone ASIS:mad:
[G1 Android Development] Lieu10ant:
i asked multiple questions, and you strike me with one "SWAP" question. i asked, do i need to mess with my swap? i know it automatically "swaps" it, but i asked do i need to do anything to prepare it? have some respect.
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
if you have your three partitions set up you just flash the build and youre good to go, dont need to mess with anything...
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
this rom runs faster than any other jac that i have seen, down sides no bt and (for those who care) no led lights. This rom also runs a lot faster, in my openion, with a swap partition. and wipe for every jacDrizzcyan.ect.ect. rom you flash.

Im responding to this entire thread of questions about SWAP if you taook the time to search you wouldnt have to ask, im not saying its just you. Ive personally have Read every pg on this thread as well as the old threads thats about 1000pgs of info i learned before i even became a member.

I had 2.63 and changed to ski and it is much faster, i did get the load screen on both but ski took half as long to load than 2.63.
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
as long as you attempt to search and try some things on your own, its fine to ask questions here.

95% of this and all other ROM threads are posts asking or answering how-to questions. Thats just the way it is, very few people are going to go to the Q and A section when they can go to the rom's 'official' thread where everyone there shares the same focus, if someone knows about a particular rom, chances are thats the thread they are browsing. Im happy to answer anything i can because the questions that i can answer i can only answer because someone answered me at some point along the line....
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
i just barely flashed 2.63 about 2 hours ago do to too many technical diffulties. (card reader doesnt show sd on my computer but it does on paragon) and i have not got a single load screen and i have been setting everything up and with 4 widgets the whole time:)
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
when you say you get the load screen on both do you mean just when you boot up or do you mean you regularly get the load screens? and when you say its faster are we talking about the ui navigation, meaning, when you press 'menu' then 'settings', etc...its faster on ski? thanks
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
I had 2.63 and likes it. then i tried 2.64 and saw just a slight difference in performance, saw load screens on both. Then i notices that the phone was not recognizing my swap partition, so I dl 1.3.1 recovery image, repartitioned, and have not seen a load screen since and it runs fast. some slight lag because I left every widget on my phone, and added some more.
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
Dude I was using paragon also, do yourself a favor and dl the recovery image from the front page. its so easy to partition with it. just back up your sd card.
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
yeah the problem is i cant use my sd card reader i dont know whats wrong with it, but oh well i finally flashed, and i was lookin for the recovery image where is it at i dont see it on the first page?
[G1 Android Development] superman08:
The UI is very smooth and buttons. When I mean load screens I mean like when im in market then I click home button. Maybe thats down to me not having swap set up.
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
so is it safe to mount without corrupting my sdcard
[G1 Android Development] jcostanza4:
Setting the linux-swap to 32mb does make a huge difference

Somehow I missed the detail on formatting your sd card that said "DO NOT USE MORE THAN 32MB SWAP!!!"

Once I fixed this and wiped data and ran the update again, the interface ran quite quick with a Class 4 card. Before I had 100mb set for the linux-swap and I could not take a phone call without it locking up and it was so laggy I wanted to go back to stock. Now all is well other than the noted bugs. I now have a class 6 on the way.

Long story short; if you want this ROM to run smooth, its all the little details before flashing the update. Be patient, read and follow the direction thouroughly; don't guess if you don't know, continue to read.

Looking forwared to BT and LED notifications. Thanks for all the hard work. A beer is on its way.

Enjoy,

if youre using the linux partition instead of swapper app then you can connect without corrupting

i cant mount has anybody else have had trouble mounting since flashing to hero cause i havent been able to it say mount on the phone and when i do nothing happens i cant find it on my computer
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
recovery image, you can download and read on how to install it here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=523558

If you are using paragon choose back up and recovery, then transfer files, then next, then find and select the file on your hd that you want to put on your card and move it over in the left column, then next, then choose the drive/partition that you want to transfer it to.

i suggest you transfer both update zip and image because i tried to flash it several times but it wouldn't take, so i had to use terminal. both ways to install are on the site i posted for you.
[G1 Android Development] Lieu10ant:
btw, is the latest rom still having that wifi during the setup issue and the wifi issue when u first load the browser? i don't have a data plan
[G1 Android Development] CPR123:
WiFi issues resolved
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
alright thanks so i should also get the recovery image even though i already flashed? or does it come with this update
[G1 Android Development] lamario:
Follow directions

Why cant people just read the instructions and follow directions? It says on the first page, if you are unsure of anything, please read before proceeding. If you are asking a question that hasnt been asked yet, then by all means. But, to find if your question has been asked or answered, search, and read through all your search results. If its too broad, narrow your search.

If you have your memory card set up as fat32>ext3>linux swap, the rom will take care of the rest. The rom uses optimal settings. If you are unhappy, then tweak them. I've been flashing my g1 since two days after I got it in January. I always make sure I read to get rid of any doubts I may have. If I have a doubt or question, I do no proceed.
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
It does not come with the updated rom, but i would install the recovery image any way because it makes repartitioning your card in the future a lot easier.
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
so in the future if an update comes with a diff recovery image and i want to keep 1.3.1 do i take the recovery off the update?
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
there likely wont be any update that requires a different recovery for some time. if cyanogen releases a new recovery then the devs may pick it up but it will be made clear if thats something you need to worry about.

Im on 2.63 and i want to run Ski's rom so bad.. but i have 2.63 slow_SD and all his is apps2sd but ahh im hearing so much positive feedback about his rom ugh this sucks ]:
[G1 Android Development] madunix:
lmfao, that's unbelievable, i seriously looked for that for maybe 3 hours today and even googled it with the forums search feature n couldn't get it.. haha thanks man
[G1 Android Development] Live2Follow:
I liked it. Big improvement over previous versions (non official hero rom). However. I am not keen on missing text messages, and while not a big deal, I would like my LEDs to work.

I got a lot of loading screens on this build. Maybe my linux swap wasn't large enough, but I found no details as to how large it should have been.

I'll be back when those three issues are sorted out. In the mean time, I hate not running it. Cyagan + Hero theme it is... :(
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
id hold off, i think Ski's got an update around the corner and i think jac has something up his sleeve too. id just order a class6 8gb (you have stock card right?) and be prepared for whats coming!
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Yeap Stock Card. Well i mean like i have no complaints with this rom. Like seriously lol theres really no point in me having to update because i dont use BT :p this rom is perfect with this and i want a bigger SD put my Parentals are on their periods and wont let me get one!! :rolleyes: Ps. only 16 dude lol
[G1 Android Development] madunix:
ok... i am hearing too many different suggestions from everyone about this swapiness... i have linux swap at 32mb... it's alot faster than the previous roms of course that's a given, but i do find my phone lagging when i press home. now i've heard a few ppl here saying they changed their swap from 32mb to 96mb and the problem went away. i would like to try this out but i would like to see what everyone thinks about this first. with cyanogen's rom i kept it at 32mb and it was flying. ill be the test dummy, just lemme know what your thoughts are if u guys don't mind :) oh and also, to change swapiness from 32mb i change the echo setting in my userinit.sh and that's it right? i never touched a apps2sd.sh or w/e it is i've read on here before. i've just always been under the impression that userinit.sh and apps2sd.sh were 2 different routes to take that kinda did the same thing... if i am wrong please correct me bc from all of the research ive done, this is what my understanding of this process came down to... =/
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Also Guys is it true that We wont get messages while on the browser or playing gameboid or while in any other application? I get txts every other second and i really dont want to lose any lol and is it only on wifi because if so ill happily go to 3g idc lol
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
ouch. yeah the only thing id like is landscape in messaging (and wallpapers in gallery but that update drake dropped today had it) but im with you, i dont use bt or care about led and it definitely runs smooth enough for daily use, although i do hear Ski's ui is even smoother...but i think jac has an app he's going to drop on us, so thats something id reformat, wipe and update for...
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
if you want to be the test dummy try it at 32, 64, and 96 and report back. Cyrowski i think says keep it between 30-50 and he knows what he's doing but if youre up for testing this would be a good subject...
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
I actually just upgraded my swap to 64 and if you can believe it, it's even faster.

[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
I mean i kinda do want The LED's though i kinda loved having my phone on silent and could just look at the lights to see if i had a msg or not lol..Update drizzy Dropped? What update?!? wheres the update?!?! and where is everyone getting that 2.63r2 from i dont even see it lol! and we have to reformat and wipe EVERY update? i dont wanna wipe and reformat and make those partitions over again oh no :(

EDIT: nvm about the 2.63r2 thing.. read it wrong :p
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
the update from today isnt worth reformatting and wiping for, i dont think theres a change log for it and all ive noticed are graphical changes. Im guessing, although i have no evidence to base it on, that maybe jac will put an app out thats for flashing updates, perhaps (probably me hoping more than anything) but perhaps to allow flashing without reformatting and wiping, or maybe itll just do everything for us? i dont know, but i dont think you should worry about today's update, its in heartbreakdrake's twitter if youre real curious, i guess thats the 2.63r2...

either way you dont have to remake the partitions, at this point you just have to format the ext2/3 and then wipe before flashing
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Damn these swap partitions lol.. one day 32's the best then a few minutes later 64 is the best.. Just wait the best one next is gonna 72 ;)
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
I don't know what the ramifications are, but it is honestly faster.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Oh ok Thats kind of a pointless release then lol.. And Oh ok awesome! i still dont know how to format ext3 but ill try to learn on the next update lol. And is Cyrowski working with JAC on his build? because from what im learning everytime Jac Releases a build then Cy makes his own version his is always somewhat better?
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Great find then. Im on a 1gig SDcard and i really dont want to have to redo my partitions over so ill stick with this for now. How about you shoot this over to JAC and tell him about your discoveries?
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
WHats his email?
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
have no idea lol just pm him or go on twitter and post it there hes always on
[G1 Android Development] Lieu10ant:
hey i wiped and applied this rom, and i came to find that i still had all my apps installed even after the wipe. is this fine?
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
its probably fine. it means the previous build you were on put your apps in your ext2/3 and while youre supposed to reformat the ext before wiping and flashing to avoid problems, sometimes, as in your case the build will still flash if you dont format. So if you have problems with the build, format your ext, wipe and reflash. but if it flashed alright then youre probably in the clear, and lucky...
[G1 Android Development] amd85:
Did you format your card before wipe?
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
I have tried 32/60, 64 /60 , and 128/60. Big diff between 32 and 64 for me. Not much between 64 and 128.
[G1 Android Development] beaubrewer1977:
Does the linux-swap 'have' to be a specific number and the swapiness somehow match this value? (My swap is 156, and default swapiness, and a rather laggy rom)

As soon as I get ADB installed and working I'm gonna re format and try a different setting(s) (re-formatting isn't very fun)
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
All you need to install CM Recovery image and reformat through your phone.
[G1 Android Development] soba5150:
hey i just reformated using paragon partitioner anyone know if Linux Swap or Linux Swap2 is the correct choice for the partition????
[G1 Android Development] Lieu10ant:
oops, no i didn't format the card or the ext3, i came from JACH2.22

one last question, how can i check if swap is working properly?
[G1 Android Development] BombaMyte:
In Terminal:

$ su
# free

And check the values for swap. All 0's = not working.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
linux swap

beaubrewer - Use Gparted Live CD and you can change partition sizes all day long without the need for a reformat.

Mines 40mb there's nothing to match
[G1 Android Development] beaubrewer1977:
yep - got that. I have all the right partitions and all that jazz, now I'm just looking for the "sweet spot" for the setting, and the default ones did not seem to work for me.

I double checked the "su free" and the "print" in parted.

The reason I am getting ADB so I can easily change the swapiness.

note to everyone...I have yet to have to format my ext3 partition...all I do is after wiping and prior to flashing a new ROM I simply use the option to repair all ext partitions in Cyanogens recovery...it seems to work, and I keep my old apps.

Don't know if its new info...
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
check ur PMs.
[G1 Android Development] scrappyabs2:
Jac's instructions are only for creating three NEW partitions (fat32, ext2, and linux-swap). I've already done that. According to this thread, you need to reformat ext2 before you flash another rom onto your phone.

How can I reformat my ext2 partition using cm's latest recovery console? Do I have to delete and recreate the ext2 (or all three) partition(s)? Or can I simply use a command statement to reformat my existing ext2 partition?
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
check one og jac old builds it has screenshot app for free in it! ;)
[G1 Android Development] doubleokneegro:
which ever screenshot app that comes loaded with the most recent JAC, guessing the as b4, is fine...

open it, then hit home or navigate to your screen u want... (always allow)

hold camera button... screenshot to /sdcard/38495u3785.jpg, whatever

also thinkin about starting a thread and putting out my collection of clock mods.. (check signature) working on new digital clock now as well:D
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
in the instructions it shows how to establish use of the partition program, then it says type rm 1 and rm 2 so just establish the program through the provided commands and then just rm 2 i was under the impression it would format it but maybe it removes it, in any case you can remove it then just put it back. but there are other commands you could find probably in the helpful threads link in the development thread list...
