Stick to the last one for now, I'll be updating that later tonight hopefully so you don't have to flash/rewipe!
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
Still no gps?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Only through wireless signal and data connection at this point.
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
The G1 has GPS ? i mean, not Google Maps or StreetView and that things, i mean something that has the maps that you dont have to connect to the internet .
[G1 Android Development] ComplexMinded:
Once this gets GPS it's a keeper.. It runs unbelievably smooth unlike any other HERO rom ive flashed. Having no problems with 1.1
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
I agree. The longer you run it the more stable and responsive it becomes.
[G1 Android Development] ComplexMinded:
Which is the exact opposite of every other ROM lol Ill put the word out about this ROM.. Great work merging and creating the mix!
[G1 Android Development] _Kyros_:
In order to flash this ROM do I really need a partitioned SD card? About how much Internal Memory is left without a partitioned SD card?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Yes and 31MB.

I can edit the a2sd.sh script to put more on external. Probably will in the next build. Just need to find the right balance.
[G1 Android Development] _Kyros_:
I can live with just 31 MB as I don't go downloading Apps. like crazy from Market just until I get another SD card because I can't partition my Nokia 2 GB card with Paragon P.M., but I'm guessing that partitioning a SD card is needed for lag reasons.
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
any news on when multitouch will be working in this build?
[G1 Android Development] oneandroid:
I just flashed back to 1.3.1 and all is fine. I will retry a 1.3.2 and report back.

How do I check if I have linux swap?

I have a Adata 8gb class 6

I did

su

free

got the following

Mem: 97908 88012 9896 0 128

Swap: 0 0 0

Total: 97908 88012 9896

So it looks like swap is not running
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
open terminal

su

free

you should see a bunch of numbers. Also you have three partitions right?
[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
I did

I thought I did have a 3 partitions... dam it :mad:

How do I NOW check to see if I have 3 and if not how can I make 3 (I know for sure I have 2)

Sorry about that
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
No worries. What are you using to check partition your sdcard?
[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
I was using Paragon, but my pc crashed a few days ago and I lost everything :mad:

Trying to reinstall everything on my pc as we speak

So right now I have NO way of checking it or creating partions thru my pc.

Im trying to locate a "FREE" Paragon partition manager;)

just upped jacHEROskiv1.4C
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
would you say its faster than 1.3? and would u recommend ext2 or ext3?
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
damn men!! I just reformatted my whole sd:mad:

Thanks you!:p

I'll try it without wiping as soon as it finish upping:o
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
I'd say it's faster. And I recommend EXT3 always. :)
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
downloading now...also should i reformat the linux-swap?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
I always do just to be safe.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Hey cyrowski, what new features can we expect on 2.0 :p Leak something for us haha :)
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
quick questions... what is the swappiness set to ? and also are the stock sounds on the build or an audio mod?..how would i change audio through the lucid script i know you had the commands up but now they not up

oh yea so far 1.4 is a lil more faster/ smoother than previous release loving this thing..cant wait to see how 2.0 runs =)
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
swappiness set to 30.

is swap workin for you now?

lucid -au -v1 or -v2 or -v3 or -v0 to restore
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
yea everything has been great..never had a problem with swap...have u tested performance with swap at 60??..thanks for the commands
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Yea, only for a short while though. I'm sticking with 30.

I can modify a file for you and throw it to you.

adb remount

adb push a2sd /system/bin

or

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

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

ill throw the file up in a bit, going to video store now.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
I'm playing this one close to the chest! Still in testing! ~ 6 days
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
i think i got it...thanks tho

i just have to change the 30 to 60 right?

echo 30 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness;
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
K hit me up if you need any guinea pigs :)
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
that is correct!

thanks so much...u are the best
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
What is the real difference between this and JACHero?
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
I'm guessing GPS?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
I use cyanogen's kernel, modified boot.img, modified a2sd, modified rosie, some other things.

Also, the real big difference was our swapper method until today. Now JAC uses my method of using a linux-swap partition.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
GPS works in mine!
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Yes that's what I was implying haha :D
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
its fixed here too :)

Seems like the linux-swap is the main source of speed improvements

Most likely we will end up having a similar 3.0/2.0 build..

db.hates.you is putting together an app to thank all contributers that have forged ideas to make Hero faster. CC will be in there :)

Also 3.0 will have working BT..the LED's im not sure yet on (ones that actually function properly and dont just stay dimly lit) Hope that sheds some light..

And i think CC hero should have voice search now etc. Happy flashing folks!
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
working on it now.

An app just for us devs?! That will be awesome! Thanks for including me!

Sometimes I wonder, will there be a life after Hero cookin'? I'm going to be lost for awhile.
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
Ophone, Palm Pre, Rooting Mytouch, hopefully more goodies from AOSP (not holding the breath on that one ;))
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
Weird.

I was able to run the 1.3.1 (full of suck) version :)

It seems that the new version is just stuck in a boot loop. I was stuck in a boot loop on JAC's hero prior to trying 1.3.1 of ski's.

I whacked the entire SD card, even tried a 2nd one. Partitioned with FAT32/EXT2/Swap all from scratch, so it's a blank slate.... then wiped and applied the update via Cyan's latest recovery.

It appears the APPS2SD method is what is causing this bootloop. Not sure why. I can boot into the lock screen, with nothing but an HTC logo behind it. Never gets a connection, then it reboots.

CC, I also did a no-wipe update from 1.3.1 to 1.4 of your rom, it booted into Rosie fine, but again never made a connection and went into bootloop.

CC, any idea?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
try EXT3

Also, I'll re upload the file.
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
I ran "upgrade_fs" and it seemed to work, went back into parted, and it still says ext2... is there another way to verify if it's ext3 or not?
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
I loosed my ext3 apps as well with the 1.4, not sure it was on my end cuz I didn't reformatted

what is what you are re uploading now?
[G1 Android Development] Jocutz1987:
is this one goin to work when u wipe and the update cuz some of the new builds are messing up at recovery mode
[G1 Android Development] lunaticmike64:
need help me

I need help on rooting my g1. I did all the steps i even have the htc magic from haykuro but it saying that my fone is not rooted so i trying agian but now wen i go to flash rc29 to start to root again it wont let me it says there is no image file if anybody can help me plz do email me @ mswan64@gmail.com thank you
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
same file, one person is having trouble so I'm wondering if the file is corrupted. Did 1.4C flash fine for you?
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
Man no matter what I do I get a boot loop on these hero roms.

I had the 1.3.1 working, and now I can't even get that working again. I start from scratch with an SD card partitioned with 3 partitions. No idea what else to do at this point.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
All hero roms or just my hero rom?

do you make sure to data wipe in recovery before flashing the update.zip?

Also, is the bootloop the little android guy keep popping up?

Make sure you have the newest cyanogen recovery.
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
Both yours and JAC's hero roms have the same issue.

The boot loop takes me all the way up to a lock screen, you can slide the lock screen down, when you do so, the notification bar goes away and you are left with an HTC screen. About 30 seconds later it reboots all the way to the G1 screen... over and over.

EDIT!!

After a reboot, I have 1.3.1 working again. Still no go on 1.4

I noticed that I also never get a connection to T-Mobile when on the lock screen for the 30 seconds or minute or so.

I am definitely wiping and using a fully partitioned card and always start from scratch.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
newest recovery from cyanogen?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
also make sure your three partitions are

FAT32

EXT3

linux-swap

and that linux-swap is no bigger than 40MB and EXT3 is no bigger than 500MBs
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
I have 1.3.1 cyanogen.... so that is the latest.

Is there a command I can use from recovery console to verify the partitions other than parted, I did "upgrade_fs" and parted still says ext2 although upgrade_fs appears to have worked.

My linux swap is 32mb, and ext is 243.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
To check your partitions.

# df
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
It's EXT3.

Man I really don't know what else to do here.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
http://demarcatedmedia.com/rom/jacHEROskiv1.4C_a2sd2.zip

to see if the file is corrupted.

And it's in the correct order 1) FAT32, 2) EXT3, 3) linux-swap
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
The thing is, I'm getting the same errors I've gotten on JACs as far back as 2 weeks ago, I'm pretty sure the file isn't corrupted. And partitions are definitely in the right order.

I can load rogers roms without a hitch as well. It's just these hero ones.

Basically what I was doing was-

Boot into recovery- go to console, parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

Then rm 1, rm 2, rm 3. print to verify no partitions.

Created all 3- fat32, then ext2, then linux-swap. upgrade_fs to convert to EXT3, reboot into recovery, wipe, flash.

Not sure what else I can do. lol. It's weird.
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
are you acutally waiting for it to setup...if you get to the point of seeing the status bar you just need to sit tight...and if it freezes on a black screen or htc just lside open the keyboard,,,theres no window in Hero to tell you to do this in setup
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
was just about to say that.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
just upped 1.4.1 added voice search and lib! (haha jk JAC)

get it while it's hot.

Seriously this time, I will not be doing any major update until v2.0 - I'm serial!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
[G1 Android Development] sim64one:
work good ....yet :)

Hi developer, hi guys,

thanks to cm recovery 1.3.1 apply 2 times repair ext3 filesystem

wipe and update

no format my ext4 part and found out all my app (only payed apps must reinstall)

when I've started swapper > get info > swap 100792 KB used 5716 KB free 95076 KB

What do you think, I must to disable app swapper to be able tu use my 3 linux-swap partition?

PS I like hero builds, and I'm searching for a stable one!!! At the moment, your build is the first on my list :D
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
I would uninstall the swapper app and reboot. You should be fine. My boot.img manages the linux-swap space better than it can man the swapper app file.
[G1 Android Development] sim64one:
its OK

First time I've deny root permission to swapper

Now swapper is uninstalled!

And the build working fine until now!:cool:

Only one issue with market: from ADB:

adb remount
adb shell
chown system.system /data/app
chown system.system /data/app-private
reboot
[G1 Android Development] NingDynasty:
So I think I've got everything installed correctly but I'm still getting some HTC/Loading issue when going to the home screen. It's way better then with previous builds but I had heard reports that it was eliminated for mostly everyone.

Is there a chance I don't have something setup properly?
[G1 Android Development] jonbron:
a bug

So far this is the fastest hero build i've tried, although I did discover an error message that I can't seem to avoid..

When attempting to change the wallpaper from the home screen, it gives you two choices for a source for your wallpaper: photo albums or the wallpaper gallery. When I choose the wallpaper gallery and attempt navigate through the different wallpapers I get a force close message for TouchFLO (process com.htc.launcher), after which it forces me to go through the HTC loading screen again before returning to the home screen.

Just thought I'd let you know.
[G1 Android Development] NingDynasty:
I believe that would be because there just aren't any other built in wallpapers to choose from!
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Which version are you using? If you using 1.4.1 switch back to 1.4C because I just found some memory leaks in 1.4.1 causing the HTC loading screen.

also, make sure your linux-swap is running by doing this in terminal;

su

free

and you should see a bunch of numbers.
[G1 Android Development] NingDynasty:
Yeah I'm using the newest one, I'll download the 1.4c now.

Here is what it says when I do the free command.

Mem: 97908 95560 2348 0 120

Swap: 31440 11532 19908

total: 1239348 107092 22256

Should I do something else besides a wipe when I put version 1.4c on there?
[G1 Android Development] NingDynasty:
One other sorta of on topic question, I guess it's more a preference but what do you guys do about your g-mail account? The HTC Mail lets you use the widget and the streamlined contact e-mail feature, but do you think it's as nice as the g-mail app? Plus wouldn't you be getting double e-mail notifications all the time?
[G1 Android Development] sim64one:

[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Nope, the numbers mean it working.

you need the new spl, you have the Hard one right now. The new one is at the begining of JAC's thread I think. It's a link.
[G1 Android Development] bigl34461:
sorry for all the questions...do i need linux swap? my sdcard has 2 partitions. if i do need how do i do it?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
gparted or wubi or paragon partition manager

you can use the swapper app in the market, but it doesn't work as well
[G1 Android Development] bountyhunter:
This 1.41c build is awesomely fast. Working really smooth with and overclock 512/384! This will be my choice of Hero build for now. Waiting for the 2.0 Version! Thanks ccyrowski!
[G1 Android Development] bigtoodog:
the build is great, works smooth on my G1. However I can't pick up the call when someone call me (can't hear anyone). It works ok if I initiate the call.
[G1 Android Development] viccyran:
im having the exact same problems =/

when i adb shell and

am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings

i can get into the settings.. just when i get back its that HTC logo.

i have the exact same symptoms as you.. i had it working ONCE , then i reflashed and all these problems surfaced. on two different SD cards, formatted properly, etc. pretty frustrating ><
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
Yeah it's frustrating. I reverted back to just using a rogers rom for now until i feel like spending more time on this Hero issue.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
You should make sure you dont have any userinit.rc or init.rc files on your sdcard.
[G1 Android Development] imaur:
I think the HTC Mail is better than the g-mail app. I normally disable the g-mail sync in Data synchronization. After you clear out the already downloaded mail, you should not get the g-mail notice again.
[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
Why dont people KNOW that :p

That WAS my problem!! I had a OLD userinit.rc file in the root of my sdcard that was preventing swapper.

Now all is good and this Hero is by far the fastest I have used and trust me I have used them ALL.

Yes you do, you need.

Fat32, Ext3 and Linux-Swap

in that order
[G1 Android Development] sim64one:
slowwwwwww

Today at twelve o clock I've restored the cyanogen 3.6.x nandroid backup on my Dream.

JACheroSKI, so the others hero builds become very very slow!

free cmd told me the swap on 3TH part was ok, I try to make some EXT repaire filesistem from recovery but the phone still slow!

anyone can suggest me anything?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
which build are you using.

use jacHEROskiv1.4C

dont use to many widgets!!!!!

Make sure swapper is running

in terminal

su

free

and you should see a bunch of numbers.
[G1 Android Development] parrothd:
Maybe you should add the info about the widgets to the main page, I just removed most of them and the phone is much snappier..
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
I usually keep up three or four widgets.

bookmarks

big calendar

twitter

clock
[G1 Android Development] sim64one:
waiting for 2.0

Hi dev-man :D

1) using jacHEROskiv1.4.1_a2sd.zip

2) as the image I'ved posted in this thread the widgets on my phone were:

wheter, twitter, mail (htc), clock, person, toggle wi-fi and bluetooth, internal and SD memory, MyDays :o and messages (htc)

3) my SD 4GB class 4 is partitioned as below:

3069 MB first primary FAT32 part

596 MB second primary EXT4 part

about 100 MB third primary linux-swap part, as the screenshot get using eclipse yesterday night (when the build still worked fine)

Using HERO firmware without widgets it's the same thing to use "ahome" launcher, anyway, in a short time I've seen many progress on hero port do dream and I hoping will become stable and fast.

PS sorry all for my bad english :D
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
switch to jacHEROskiv1.4. jacHEROskiv1.4.1 had memory leaks and stack corruption. Also, don't have linux-swap that big. 32MB is plenty big enough.
[G1 Android Development] parrothd:
Yea, seems the exchange mail/sms widgets and the small calendar one really slow things down...
[G1 Android Development] viccyran:
i reformatted / repartitioned before installing hero. just to double check should they be lingering in /system/init.rc ? and /system/userinit.rc? neither exist when i try to pullthem or remove them :(
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
no, they are fine there! haha, if they are on your sdcard remove them because they usually conflict with the linux-swap method.

don't touch the .zip file you downloaded. just rename update.zip and flash!
[G1 Android Development] viccyran:
well i went through the same procedures as vr.. downgraded all the way to rc29 again.. got cyno's recovery image 1.3.1, flashed the radio / spl , then tried to flash every hero rom available.. same problem. ill get to the sim lock screen, and when i pull it down it's just the HTC logo

i can run adb commands and pull up setting menus, but it just wont work. i flashed jachero's slowsd and it worked.. until i flashed with a dif hero rom (his non slow, then yours), and ran into the same problem no matter what i do.
[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
I love my speed and consider it very VERY fast and I have the following widgets (8) from left to right

-Music (BIG)

-Twitter (BIG)

-Calendar (small), 8app icons and -Stock Widget (small) pushed it, just to show off :D

-Flip Clock w/weather and 8app icons

-Message

-Bookmark with images

-Photo Album

I have SetCPU at 384max and 254min

I dont understand why people say its "slooooooooow" .... maybe they dont have the "requirements" set up right.
[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
After the sim lock screen and pull down you get the HTC logo, as did i. Just sit tight and wait till it all syncs and nestles its self in and you will see that its fast as hell.
[G1 Android Development] viccyran:
how long would that take? i remember leaving it on for a few hours.. ;x
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
did you change your swap settings?
[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
A few hours!! WOW it should take a few minutes MAX.

We have a similar path... I too came from JacHero slowSD 2.5, I just didnt have a issue flasing this one. At the time I only had 2 partitions (fat32 and ext3) and still had no problems running it other than the speed, but once I went to 3 partitons everything is FAST.

Maybe its your sdcard, something is corrupted that makes it hang where it hangs.

*Side note*

What I did do was format my card to a clean state before I came from JacHero. Did you format (erase everything, including prior partitions) your card?
[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
Nope .... only reason is I dont know how lmao :p
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
lol ok thanks...so your linux swap is only 32mb?
[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
I set it to be 39mb but it apears to be just a tad over 40mb

here is what i get

Ok boy, I've followed your suggestion!

Download and install 1.4C

Bring my old SD 2GB: FAT 1380MB EXT4 456MB linux-swap 32MB

data wipe - update - reboot

erased all widget and replaced with some apps shortcut

I've reboteed the phone 4 times unltil now and seem to work fast.

here there is a mini album http://xdaforums.com/album.php?albumid=475

i dunno.. i feel like i corruped an img file on the phone or something.

anything that isnt hero works fine, but with two different SD cards, both reformmated / partitioned the whole she-bang with fat32,ext2(ugpraded to 3),linux-swap

7500mb fat32

200mb ext3

32mb linux swap

same problems =[. i thought a reflash with rc29 would clear up any issues.. but still havin same problems. not trying to sound ungrateful, when i had hero up it was workin great thanks to all the devs here, just trying to figure out my problem, searching the forum left and right ><
