Jep, this doesn't work ATM. I downgraded to 2.7.3, WIFI works in there.

Greetings, _xtc_
[G1 Android Development] clintz:
That doesnt happen to me, but my problem persists.. I sent a text to my wife, then got a text from my friend chris.

At the messages screen I don't see a thread for chris, but his message is in my wife's thread...
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
Wrong. WiFi is working. You just need to manually push wlan.ko from the update.zip (I got mine from jacHEROski1.4C)

Actually, I'll just upload it as long as I'm replying to this anyways.

Extract the file from the zip. Then adb push or cp from sdcard

-adb-

adb remount

adb push wlan.ko /system/lib/modules/

-terminal-

$su

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

#cp /sdcard/wlan.ko /system/lib/modules/

After this, just try WiFi again. I have it working on 2.7.4r1 just fine.
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
I don't get any of these problems with sms. I get all my threads sorted into contacts by time of messages sent. Their threaded:

them

me

them

me

me (the message spilled over to the second text)

them

them (same as above)

Works just fine (JACHero2.7.4r1 w/ compcache and backing_swap)
[G1 Android Development] toshi:
ok thanks for the swift reply. I feel better knowing it wasn't me! :)
[G1 Android Development] toshi:
ok thanks - I'll try this..
[G1 Android Development] tonymoreno23:
< is starting to wonder if the build is an experiment, or if teasing us is the experiment, itself. ::sigh::,

No, i know Jac's been busy with getting hero running on Mytouch, but damn

i don't want to wait!

Anyone still running with Compcache, how's are the results over the last 3 days?
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
I've been using 2.7.4r1 ever since 10min after it was uploaded. :D

Compcache set to 64MB and 20swappiness with backing_swap activated. Everything runs much smoother than before. The lockscreen is finally smooth (ie no jerky motions when pulling it down) The clock updates immediately and smoothly after unlocking or returning from apps. Applications also start much faster and run smoother. No sms or mms problems here. Only thing this is lacking is multitouch.

There is one problem. Compcache doesn't like letting go of programs that have been closed. It just keeps filling and filling until it bogs the entire system down (takes a few hours). Then just restart or use the gscript to swapoff/swapon and my phone is back to its usual snappy self. The phone starts ringing almost immediately (1-2rings) and connects rather quickly.

Gonna stick with this until something better or multitouch comes back.
[G1 Android Development] Coopaman:
still confused

Ok guys, I have JACHero 2.7.3 and I'm still getting the force close on the messaging app. Idk what I'm supposed to do I've read over 30+ pages and I still don't get it.. What exactly do I do? I've read about extracting the messaging app. from other roms or pushing it from other roms, but honestly idk what that is or how to do it, so could someone point me to a link, or gtalk me @ cooponmello@gmail.com

I really miss my txts I haven't recieved any in over 3 days
[G1 Android Development] imbonez9:
Here is the SMS fix that i've been doing and i "get" all my texts. DL SMStoGMail. Also i've noticed that even if i get that force close my message still sends. But honestly look into the SMStoGmail app. It sends all your texts to your email as a copy. So even if you don't recieve the text to the phone you still get it to your gmail account.
[G1 Android Development] Coopaman:
Thanks but this is like a "quick fix" I want the actual texting to work, mainly because i like the widget itself =/

Im reading on the adb stuff, do I push and extract things via pc or do I do it in recovery mode after i enter the console.

ill use the smstogmail until i get it fixed thank you
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
Ugh... You noobs annoy me so much when I swear I've typed up the solution at least 3 times...

PM me if you want help.
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
Hey Folks I noticed some people are stll trying to use the Swapper app...please don't on this ROM you wont gain anything.

2.7.3 uses linux swap and required the 3 partitions

2.7.4r2 uses compcache and only needs 2 partitions to function no extra "linux-swap"

To change the echo settings for either please edit the "a2sd" file in /system/bin

Maybe someone will be nice enough to make up a few with dif swap values and post them. I will when i have the time.

So whats next??

Well i havent gotten much done lately with moving and all but..

I've got a new Kernel with MT enabled that mirrors Cy's kernel and then some :)

Also have a decent amount of tweaks etc i need to get into the ROM.

Also fixes for Camera and a handful of bugs reported at the code site.

Trust me i will get to this as soon as i can :)
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
I know that linux-swap is not required. But if I have it enabled with backing_swap, does it help it all? or is it hindering performance instead?
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
The HTC Hero ORANGE UK has been released, there are people on the hero side asking on how to dump the ROM, if anyone can provide assistance head there :)
[G1 Android Development] petabread:
No matter how i try to get compcache working, I simply get "/proc/ramzswap: No such file or directory" when I check to see if it's working. It's driving me crazy.
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
what were your exact steps in producing this problem?
[G1 Android Development] soba5150:
/proc/ramzswap: No such file or directory"

i get the same error trying to use the scripts in gscript to shut swapon and swap off.....actually none of the gscript commands are working for me....anybody got em' working want to tell me exactly what they should read??
[G1 Android Development] zole2112:
I'm having the same problem...I'm going crazy too!
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
I meant what did you do to "activate" compcache... not the command that brought the could not find error...
[G1 Android Development] zole2112:
I did the following:

1. put userinit.sh in root

2. Go to terminal and type in the following commands:

-su

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

-cp /sdcard/userinit.sh /system/sd

-chmod 755 /system/sd/userinit.sh

3. After typing in the commands, restart phone (this is very important or it will NOT work)

4. Go back to terminal and type in the follwing:

-su

-cat /proc/sys/ramzswap

Thank you

I do have a linux-swap partition yet if that makes a difference, I've tried this twice so far, JacHEROski2.7.4r2. I have the swapper app on my card yet it that makes a difference.
[G1 Android Development] petabread:
I basically followed that tutorial that bkmo posted, and tried it all thru terminal and i get nothing. I renamed the userinit.sh.txt to just userinit.sh and put it on my fat32 and then did as he said to do:

su

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

cp /sdcard/userinit.sh /system/sd

chmod 755 /system/sd/userinit.sh

Did a reboot, and got nothing. Like 50 times. I don't get it. I'm not really a noob either. Only thing I havent figured out (and haven't tried honestly) is ADB. But this really has me stumped, and I don't see many people on here having this issue. Thanks for the reply, by the way.
[G1 Android Development] clintz:
what version of the rom are you using? this is quite important.
[G1 Android Development] petabread:
Yup same here. Annoying for sure. Glad to see I'm not alone.
[G1 Android Development] zole2112:
I do have a linux-swap partition yet if that makes a difference, I've tried this twice so far, JacHEROski2.7.4r2. I have the swapper app on my card yet it that makes a difference.
[G1 Android Development] petabread:
Oh yeah, I'm on Jachero 2.7.4
[G1 Android Development] clintz:
if you are using 2.7.4r2 (r2 part is the key) You do not have to do anything.

userinit.sh is included and is initiated automatically, this is stated in the first post of the thread.

2.7.4 "r1" needs you to push the userinit.sh

I do not know what effect running swapper will have, it is not recommended all over this thread.
[G1 Android Development] zole2112:
Ok, I'm going to remove the swapper app and re-flash again, I am on 2.7.4r2...

Thank you
[G1 Android Development] clintz:
Good luck, let us know how it goes
[G1 Android Development] petabread:
Is there a command for terminal to see what our compression rate is on r2 ? Or to tell if it's working at all ?
[G1 Android Development] g2crx:
go to terminal and type in the follwing:

&su

#cat /proc/sys/ramzswap
[G1 Android Development] soba5150:
i switched to 2.74r2 which does compache automatically but i did apply the twistedzero2.74 theme upgrade for jachero maybe that somehow moved the ramzswap somewhere else lol i don't know but i mean, i had 79% good compression now when i go to check it it says its not found....and when i try the gscripts they don't work....im lost
[G1 Android Development] jigdagod:
Is this supposed to be a better location than the default they set it at as far as stability?
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
ROFL! I tried singing my update last night, but for some reason nothing changed. (Except for some odd reason my sex life...)
[G1 Android Development] seanhassars:
make sure you cd to whatever directory you have adb in
[G1 Android Development] smsrat84:
NM I switched over to CyanogenMod 3.6.5, this version of JAC seemed to to slow my phone down horrible! So I will stay here till I can figure something out, bc I am sure it is something on my end
[G1 Android Development] bobbybooshay:
i flashed 2.4 slow sd card ver.

the text messaging seems better (as in i dont think im missing any)

although some of the timestamps are still in the future.

still getting some touchFLO force closes (once when scrolling to left to remove weather widget from home screen) and another when browsing wallpaper gallery(i think that's been established before)

other than that, it runs pretty smooth

i thought the battery icon was changed to the OPhone one.

thanks
[G1 Android Development] smsrat84:
Yeah I did, but to no avail. Oh well, I will figure something out, time for a smoke break :eek:
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
which is the path for swapper ? :S

/system/sd/swapper.swp ?

/system/sd/swapfile.swp ?

/system/sd/swap.swp ?

or

Default :S
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
EDIT : sry double post, damn .
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
Doing this enables you to mount your SD on your computer without creating a bunch of corrupted SDCard errors.
[G1 Android Development] dom2684:
i have yet to fox my issue with settings force closing...cant even get the touch keyboard working

its smooth excpet the force closes on some settings anyone>?
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
I believe that it does not matter what you name your swap file. Swapper creates it based on your input.
[G1 Android Development] supremeteam256:
It sets it to the ext partition instead of the fat32 so you can mount your card to pc without problems.
[G1 Android Development] supremeteam256:
You need to set the path as /system/sd/swap.swp
[G1 Android Development] ChainsDD:
I can't even get a good boot... I get the settings force close, and after that it'll just sit there on the black screen. I can recieve calls, and make them too.. I just can't get into TouchFLO
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
where can i get the original hero wallpaper the blue one cause i only see jachero wallpaper on .4
[G1 Android Development] Grimsby:
You need to set the path as /system/sd/swap.swp

It sets it to the ext partition instead of the fat32 so you can mount your card to pc without problems.

But what if you wanted to use that linux-swap partition i created? Do you create your swap.swp file in that partition somehow?
[G1 Android Development] blakestimac:
How can I reinstall the stock app and widget? Usually if it was left out, I would just reinstall the apk,widget and the DCSStock, and. Everything was fine. Now its a no go, can I push it through adb at all? I need the stocks app, its so much better than anything on the market has. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] blakestimac:
double post
[G1 Android Development] dom2684:
did u wipe ur ext2/3?
[G1 Android Development] dwelw:
Map

Hi, I can not seem to get my location on the google map. Is it a common problem for this build?
[G1 Android Development] g2crx:
I would wipe your ext2/3 so its a clean install.
[G1 Android Development] g2crx:
I would try to reflash w/o the theme and see what happens.
[G1 Android Development] zole2112:
Yeah, I'm going to do that now, I just re-flashed but it's very laggy.

Thank you
[G1 Android Development] davonecurry:
is there a fix for the time issue with text messages?
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
I don't have that problem in 2.7.4r1
[G1 Android Development] NguyenHuu:
you guys have issues with when people call you and it takes forever for it to ring or even show up on the screen? mines just blank out and by time it loads up, the call is already missed.
[G1 Android Development] zgmf-x322a:
hi JAC, can u put add the "-3G icon instead of H by JAC" back into the rom, please coz the H tells me whether i am using the HSDPA or the 3G network in my area...

please and thanks :D
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
Mine starts playing ringtone within 1-2 rings. No problem, only a little lag dragging down to answer form sleep mode. But that might be because the CPU has to ramp up again.
[G1 Android Development] petabread:
That didn't do anything, sadly. But, I reflashed 2.7.4r2, and tried not restoring the nandroid backup, and THAT worked. So if anyone else is having that issue, that's probably why. But thanks for your help, much appreciated !
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
been asking this all day lol.. does 2.74r2 use apps2sd? if so can i remove it?
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
you'd have to edit the a2sd script by yourself.
[G1 Android Development] s0ysauce45:
after 2 days, this rom has become totally unusable for me. had it running on a 512 ext3 partition. even after restarting the phone every few hours its horribly slow. probably gonna go back to an earlier version or CM.
[G1 Android Development] trill12:
well, first off, let me thank you guys for this. ive done my own and my gfs phone. were both loving jachero.

couple questions. ive been searching for the past hour.

1. how do you remove apks? i want to prune it down for faster speeds.

2. which apks are good to prune?
[G1 Android Development] youneek:
The first few hours were AMAZING. I was absolutely amazed at how fast this rom was but 24 hours later I got HTC logos, loading screens, couldn't answer calls, etc... Whatever the issue is just got worse and worse even with reboots. I'm going back to 2.6. I wish it could have stayed that fast :confused:
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
Linux-swap partition in 2.7.4r2

Linux-swap and compcache in 2.7.4r2

What you'll need:

1) A linux-swap partition

2) Gscripts http://gscript-android.googlecode.com/files/GScript.apk

3) my scripts

4) and skills.

About the scripts

Check Swap

cat /proc/swaps

Shows which swap is on, their priority, and how much memory is used.

Compcache Status

cat /proc/ramzswap

Shows compcache status.

Free Space

free

Shows combined swap and how much is used.

Swap Off- All (NOT RECOMMENDED)

swapoff /dev/ramzswap0
swapoff /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

Turns off compcache & linux-swap.

Swap On- All

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
swapon /dev/ramzswap0

Turns on compcache & linux-swap.

Swap Switch- CC ( LS

swapon /dev/ramzswap0
swapoff /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

Turns on compcache and turns off linux-swap.

Swap Switch- CC ) LS

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
swapoff /dev/ramzswap0

Turns off compcache and turns on linux-swap

userinit

#!/system/bin/sh

if [ -n /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 ];
then
mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk0p3;
fi;

if [ -e /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 ];
then
echo 60 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness;
swapoff /dev/block/mmcblk0p3;
exit;

Enables linux-swap. Goes in /system/sd. Does not startup at boot.

1) Push the userinit.sh file from ZALGO Gscripts 2.zip to /system/sd

2) Put the rest of the scripts in the "gscript" folder in the sdcard.

3) Load the scripts in Gscript (Menu -> Add script -> Load file) one by one.

4) Reboot

5) To start the linux-script, go to Gscripts and select Swap On- All.

6) Enjoy :D
[G1 Android Development] cire253:
question

so im running superlite, and its very fast, works great, although there are no widgets from hero, its pretty good. now.. my only question, is the lockscreen, is there anyway to get or port or install the hero lockscreen that you drag down?

I tried installing the HTCLockScreen.apk but it says can not be installed on this phone...

what do I do
[G1 Android Development] mikkodd:
omg 2.7.4 was nice for like the first hours but after that it started laggin like hell and crashin.. so i went back to cyanmod
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
That was kinda long.:D

The reason I made the how-to was because 2.7.4r2 does tend to lag after a while. And I wanted to give you guys the freedom of using either 1)compcache, 2) linux-swap, or 3)both.

I hope you all appreciate it. :D
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
This ROM is in dire need of update. I think we need to look at:

1. make 3 workspaces instead of 7. This will reduce the memory footprint.

2. swap needs to come from compcache but with a backing store on the 3rd partition.

3. swappiness needs to be set to a low number like 20-30.

4. busybox is too old.

5. multi-touch needs to be there. The browser is broken at this time (no zoom in/out).

6. whatever else can be done to speed it up.
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
JACHero 2.7.4r1 running for over 24hrs without wipe/flash. Only a few restarts because of system FCing. However, after every restart... like I just reflashed. Its fast, really fast. Have you guys tried using memlimit_kb=xxxxxx instead of disksize_kb w/ backing_swap? With memlimit, you allow compcache to manage backing_swap and I think it does it a little more efficient. :D Anyways, the only problem is the system FCing (within a variable number of hours from 6-12hrs). But after a restart, working great.

My current settings: ramzswap.ko memlimit_kb=32120 backing_swap /dev/block/mmcblk0p3;
[G1 Android Development] smnnekho:
Hui.... that's a pretty demandin attitude sir!
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
Well then, get to it.
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
man does anyone have a copy of 2.7 it was the only one that didn't have the skewed expand/collapse icons in certain apps and the off center text in markey and whatnot.

Plus I liked the Ophone launcher.
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
NM found it in the mirror.
[G1 Android Development] trill12:
well i found what I was looking for, but Ive run across another question. seems like i cannot install compcache. i always get the 'no such file or directory' problem. any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
alright, guys cool down. I wasn't demanding anything. If I could do these things, I would do for sure.

I am just putting forth what I think needs to be tackled to make this ROM fly. Right now, its very laggy and home screen reloads 3 out of 5 times. I have missed calls on this ROM.

If these already are known, then I am sorry. I just repeated the issues.
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
you can already do 2 & 3 on your own with just a few commands.

5 is what i'm praying for, hope they get it in the next build...
[G1 Android Development] NguyenHuu:
how about 1, changing the number of homescreens? 7 is great but not practical for day to day use on this memory hog haha. 5 is pushing it, 3 is good number. i know there is a modified launcher out there but it's not for hero rom. is there a way for us to modify it somehow, manually through some editing a file, like launcher.apk or roise.apk?
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
2.7 is the best of the bunch....
[G1 Android Development] instechgainza:
still alive and kicking

here's my set up guys for 2.7.4r2 , I edit my a2sd for 64mb and swappiness at 80 (without linux-swap)and since yesterday it will almost the same the first time i posted to youtube.

check it out trust me..yes the lag still there buts i think its normal and not bad coz im using class 2 8gb sdcard..i have 3 widgets in 3 screens with a meeboo running any time and still usable....Again thank you jac and db.hates.you, Drizzy Drake Rogers CCyrowski' and Manup456..

Help!

I'm coming from JacHeroSki, that's the build I always used to use however now they have merged together I'm trying JacHero.

I've tried 2.7.3 and 2.7.4 both are excellently fast. However, with both on boot I get the error "Sorry! The Application Messages (Process com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. [FORCE CLOSE]". I get this same error when trying to open the messaging app.

As a result I CANNOT send (can't open msg app) or Receive any SMS messages (I don't even get a notification).

I installed ChompSMS to try and get round this. I was able to send out a SMS message but again couldn't receive, I didn't even get a notification as if there was no SMS sent to me.

Any help would be much appreciated I would love to use this build, I skimmed through a few of the 100s of pages but got no answer.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
I had the same problem when I ran a high compcache size or high swappiness. My phone rings on 1-2 rings with 32000/30.

I see very little lag and I am excited that I am no longer damaging my sdcard at such a quick rate.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Brummiesteven

This happens for 2.7 series when you don't clear the ext3 partition.

You should always clear this partition and wipe before flashing.

In terminal type:

su

Rm -r /system/sd/

Make sure to backup first.
[G1 Android Development] brummiesteven:
Thanks V. Much mate.

Although this means it's a bit of a hassle as I have to reinstall apps :P I can't complain as this is WAAAAY faster than what I was on before and plus I wouldn't be able to do anything like this myself.

Your commands didn't work though. I had to go into Ubuntu and reformat the EXT2 partition (I formatted it to EXT3) that way.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Did it give an error and then give a bunch of force closes (this is what it was supposed to do) or did it not do anything. I had a capitol R on the rm and it should have been lower case but it has worked for me every time.
[G1 Android Development] brummiesteven:
Yeah it actually did. Said something like /system/sd didn't exist and then force closed everything (I mean everything, from music to goolge maps even if they weren't open =/)

I guess it did work then afterall:p
[G1 Android Development] zole2112:
I reformatted my SD card and created a 7GB fat32 and a 1GB ext3 (got rid of my linux-swap)then reflashed 2.7.4r2. Now I have 77% comp, response is extremely fast with very little lag, messaging seems to be working fine, my ringtone plays after 2 rings. I just flashed last night so I'll see how fast it is after a couple of days (if I can resist flashing again before then)
[G1 Android Development] kingskidd268:
It been 2 or 3 days now on 2.7.4.r2 an good compress is 78 with out turning it off to reset using only userinit no linux swap or overclock. To me its still the best....
[G1 Android Development] Vez02:
flashed this last night and its really fast but i have two issues with it..when i go to people it lags everytime and my location on google map dont work..not sure whats wrong with it?can you help me out..

other than that,this rOm is one if the fastest ive tried..
[G1 Android Development] Vez02:
btw i was talking about 2.7.4r2
[G1 Android Development] sw20matt:
ok so im still on 2.6, has anything been done about bluetooth or led?
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
they do not work yet
[G1 Android Development] otto888:
How many times does this have to be said? NO. THEy DO NOT WORK YET. But we are close....I think.
