I don't know about you guys, but the link he threw up gives me a 404 not found... probably still uploading... damn, I wanted this before I went to class in 30min... =/
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
does 2.7.4 use cyanogen kernel then? if so then theres no point me flashing as ive just made an update.zip with compcache
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
Check the TimeStamp CC had this done days ago :)
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Hey JAC....do we still need the swap partition ?
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
yes and ALWAYS read the first post to understand what is needed before flashing every new update. :D
[G1 Android Development] tmac12:
Does compcache make the rom even faster?

Did anybody read the hero review on gizmodo Im starting to wonder if jachero is faster then the official htc hero. Keep up the good work guys!
[G1 Android Development] andrews240:
Yeah, I just found that too. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] Zarboz:
Yah saw that

i just started reading about it yesterday implimented and thought id share what i found

i wonder if he compiled the xvmalloc.ko and ramzswap.ko against his kernel to allow for multitouch to work
[G1 Android Development] BombaMyte:
I can tell y'all, this works *very* well. I used the manual instructions here. Rosie likes her compcache dope, LOL! :D

Still waiting for JAC's to upload, but for a quick patch, it works well.
[G1 Android Development] chrisrj28:
I just started using Linux-swap (finally) and I must say 2.7.3 is effin awesome now. No other Hero build can touch this. From what I have read about compcache this will only get better, swapping without destroying the sdcard, nice
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
so if im going to flash 2.7.4 i need to be prepared to then follow all of the instructions in that link?
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I was curious how you enabled cgroups on Hero, but you haven't :) Just mounting the cgroups filesystem doesn't do it. You need changes in the framework. See here:

http://github.com/cyanogen/android_frameworks_base/commit/c3620fbda6bf7227a4c886a93fb71bdfc6855026
[G1 Android Development] BombaMyte:
You shouldn't. I'm sure JAC would've put everything together in a standard package. I followed those directions before I knew JAC was throwing up a new rom.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
gonna wait for testers to flash 2.7.4 and see how it runs for them :]
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
thanks be to jesus
[G1 Android Development] BombaMyte:
LMAO! I know what you mean!

Still, I wonder if I should make a nandroid of this... :o
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Oh ya apps definitely load smoother with compcache...wht is cgroup tweak ? im lost lol
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
Flashed 2.7.4, WiFi didn't work! OH NO! J/k pushed wlan.ko from jacHEROski1.4C and its working now, I'll use it for a few hours and let you guys know.
[G1 Android Development] g2crx:
hey bombamyte i just noticed your location to funny im in newark also
[G1 Android Development] hell4hot:
need some knowledge...

the new version has somthing call capcache... wat is it, i have no ideal , can sum1 plz explain wat is it,,,,thanks
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
good thing jac decided to upload this I tried doin compache mnually just now and couldnt get it to work so this is great. i tried to do this manually to learn you know, but if it doesn't work im not gonna kill my head when i can just flash an update.zip..
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
READ!!!!!!! Compcache is discussed in multiple threads in this forum. Stop looking to be spoonfed
[G1 Android Development] Zarboz:
NO jac has a complete update.zip containing all that

and in that post theres a quick update.zip with all those mods done
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
PLEASE Always "READ" the first post about "NEW" updates.

stop asking repetitive questions that just elongate this thread with pointless questions. :mad::mad::mad::mad:
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Cud u possibly upload the wlan.ko ???
[G1 Android Development] BombaMyte:
LOL! Never find anyone else in Newark on here. One in a dozen.

I decided to go ahead & make a nandroid of this. Not like I'm gonna use it since JAC has a complete update, but just to say I did it. *shrug*
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
its on JAC's website directory.

http://www.slackdev.com/justanotherdev/

or get it from an old Hero build :p cmon dude...think about it before asking.
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
if im using the compcache swap and the linux-swap, what would the reason be that its using the linux swap and not the compcache, it shows them both working but the compcache shows as being unused when i do cat /proc/ramzswap

edit: figured it out, the linux-swap was being enabled first so changed around a2sd.sh so that it activated compcache first
[G1 Android Development] BombaMyte:
Here ya go.
[G1 Android Development] g2crx:
Where would i push this to?
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
2 things...i dont c a 1.4C on his site...2nd i tried wlan.ko from 2.7.3...didnt work...thts why i was asking...
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
push it to /system/lib/modules
[G1 Android Development] BombaMyte:
Dammit, beat me to it. :)
[G1 Android Development] g2crx:
Ok thanx. Going to update.zip now:D
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
my bad, well earlier JAC did have the wlan.ko file on the website guess he took it down? :confused: but okay my bad. :(
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Guys ne idea as to why when i type cat /proc/ramzswap it says no such file/directory ?
[G1 Android Development] jaygajay:
So i'm gonna assume that the kernel used in this one is cyanogen's since everybody needs to push a different wlan.ko
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
wlan.ko uploaded for those who need it. I have to run to class now, so I can't help for a few hours, but I noticed that it seems this was compiled for the cyan kernel as I lost multitouch. Other than that, everything is going smoothly.
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
hero is flying now!!
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
is it worth updating to 2.7.4
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
I am getting the exact same error
[G1 Android Development] anddep:
lol i dunno.. im still thinkin on my part to update.. still readin more comments on 2.7.4

2.7 has been good to me:D
[G1 Android Development] JeffGale:
Update, it's serious. :)
[G1 Android Development] Zarboz:
manually type the insmod commands for your .ko files in terminal then turn the swap on and echo swapiness
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Well i followed the last bit of ur tutorial....but still after reboot i get no file/directory...
[G1 Android Development] Zarboz:
after you insert your modules to the kernel it should stick on reboot mine does at least... you may have to manually turn your swap on after reboot thats about it
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
I would say YES! Apart from wifi not working (fixed by pushing wlan.ko) it's fast and seems stable so far!! :cool:
[G1 Android Development] anddep:
nah havent had a text issue yet.. i got all my texts sent to me, and my people got all the text i sent to them.. when they aint answering back(but got my text)i ask them too if they got it or not and they did just dont wanna answer back
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
only problem with the compcache build is no multitouch due to cyanogen kernel
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
thats the ONLY reason why i'm not flashing 2.7.4 YET :(

but i could go without multi-touch for the speed and stability this build brings :D ill wait for more feedback/details from other users
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
so wait, this build includes compcache but it isn't enabled already???
[G1 Android Development] :
IS it WAY faster then before or just a little faster then 2.73?

I can go without multitouch
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
I find the build to b a lot snappier...apps load faster 2
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
I don't think compcache is enabled appropriately. I think it requires a edit of the a2sd.sh script so that it loads in the right order. Also, you have to push in your own wlan.ko file. I'd say hold off till these little issues get resolved
[G1 Android Development] zapyourit:
Ditto. Also, do we still need to push the old MMS/SMS apk to get messaging working or has that been ironed out?
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
oh well, i'll wait till these issues get worked out. this build is still fast though :)
[G1 Android Development] juice631:
Im loving my G1

Hey guys this is my 1st post and 2sec time Flashin my rom first being my Htc tilt. This one was way more comlicated but soooo worth it...thanks to everyone who posted step by step instructions got it on the first try an was really scared i was gonna brick my phone but it actually works way better that ah g1 out the box.

Thanks to all of u!!!
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
testing 2.7.4 right now
[G1 Android Development] tshizzle:
i think thats been cleared up. messaging works flawlessly.
[G1 Android Development] g2crx:
My MMS doesnt work if my WIFI is on.It's been happeneing for awhile but i could live with it.Unless somebody knows how to fix it. I'm on the newest JAC.
[G1 Android Development] RaQHoliday:
Holy HELL this ROM booted up fast...
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
oh my...this rom is scary fast (thats good). I have huge apps on all 7 pages. linux swap:64, echo:60, fast even while sycning contacts..no multi-touch or wifi (already been pointed out). I think personally its worth the update. update at your own discretion. :)
[G1 Android Development] g1junky:
thats the first time ive heard that..hero takes forever to boot for me.

maybe i should flash 2.7.4
[G1 Android Development] RaQHoliday:
I kid you not, from flash to setup wizard, i've never had a version of Hero boot up so fast.

Now the bad... Exchange is force-closing :( It was working fine on 2.7.3, what gives?

Edit: scratch that... after a couple of times force-closing during setup, it finally worked.
[G1 Android Development] Beast11:
ok for those of you having trouble with the compcache use the following tutorial, all you gotta do is dl the file, push to /system/sd and run one other command... Works like a charm. Im getting 77% compression right now...

edit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=537236

lol forgot to add the link...
[G1 Android Development] southeastbeast:
Hmm mine says from an ADB Shell

# cat /proc/ramzswap

cat /proc/ramzswap

/proc/ramzswap: No such file or directory

any ideas? I went in manually to /proc/ and see no ramzswap
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
msg n pic msgn works fine....having trouble knowing if compcache is working or not
[G1 Android Development] Beast11:
do the tutorial i posted three post above..
[G1 Android Development] southeastbeast:
Trying that right now, but in first post JAC said not to run it. Rebooting as I type....

Fixed! Thanks 65% compression for me!
[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
Acronis disk director is easy to create all partitions. there are a few tricks to it in windows.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Well if u open up the userinit.sh....u'll essentially find the same commands u manually run with the other tutorial for compcache on hero....only difference is swapiness of 60 vs 20...
[G1 Android Development] RaQHoliday:
78% Compression... NICE.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Just removed my linux-swap partition....no affect on speed...
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
the only real difference between this version and 2.7.3 is compcache correct??? and it really isn't that difficult to get going i'm assuming. i'm gonna wait and hear a few more ginuea pigs testimonials before i move over. cuz linux swap still works just fine and dandy.
[G1 Android Development] blackfire1:
Okay I just installed this and I get a black screen after it loaded up i still see the top bar and the lock screen but their is no wallpaper or widgets and the menu button doesnt work? help please
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
That happened to me (once) .... try pressing back/home button...otherwise reboot should do the trick
[G1 Android Development] mrfrenchfry:
Thanks works great now, but now my swap is showing 64mb when i only have a 32mb....just wanna know if i should leave it or go ahead and repartition or what?
[G1 Android Development] jaygajay:
He is referring to do not use userinit.sh for linux-swap. This userinit.sh is for compcache. There is different userinit.sh out there just gotta know which one to use and when.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Yea thts cuz its counting the compcache swap file i think...i deleted my swap partition...n still under swap it shows stuff....
[G1 Android Development] southeastbeast:
the other 32mb is from your linuxswap partition. I think it's a spillover effect, compcache > linuxswap if it needs it.

ah. ok thanks for clarification; I had the other one open for more compcache info and both shell scripts were named the same!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5
[G1 Android Development] southeastbeast:
3c511a0d169364d3c0d0714b6ac86d59

was the value that I had, which correlated with Johnnylicious. Small sample size but mine is up and running (so far). No brick so I'm happy =D

Edit: @ivanmmj LOL I wasn't sure if he was asking what MD5 was or what the MD5 hash value was.... benefit of the doubt =X

Yes mine is working fine with 2.7.4
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
I'll wait for this to be polished more but all in all sounds good to me.

chea.
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
im receiving an error. /sdcard/userinit.sh :no such file or directory
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
Thank you, I still have no idea what it is, but it was a good read I guess. All that tech jargon can't register with me right now...

I hope that changes...
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
In simpler terms its to ensure the files integrity so u dont download from another person who's set out to brick ur phone lol...if ur md5 matches u know u got the build the dev intended u to have....plus u'll have someone to blame ;)
[G1 Android Development] blackfire1:
Does not having a class 6 SD card make the hero rom really slow?
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Yea, switch to 2.7.3 slowsd then n enable compcache on it.
[G1 Android Development] blackfire1:
Okay I tried to install hero but it keeps boot looping it keeps making the hero sound when it turns on and the screen keeps chaning to hero again help?
[G1 Android Development] The_Real_D/\SH:
hey guys running this right now and so far so good :) is thee any way to change the wallpaper in this rom and also for the apk files can i still install these the same way or is there a special way with rosie to do so? sorry im a noob to the g1's but know my wm smartphones like the back of my hand... thanks for the help in advance
[G1 Android Development] chrisrj28:
@Blackfire

Format your sdcard & EXT2 and try it again, if its looping it's not reading the Ext2

@myghtymouse19

Just use the old way by file manager to install .apks. As for wallpaper, just go to home screen, press menu then wallpaper, you can choose lockscreen or home screen
[G1 Android Development] JeffGale:
same, and im not an idiot either.

actually mine says "cannot stat 'userinit.sh': No such file or directory.
[G1 Android Development] ivanmmj:
Exactly.

Say you have a file that inside says:

010100100101010010101001010100101

Now, if you add all those 0's and 1's up, you get 14. If you download the file and the download gets corrupted but it only corrupts ONE bit, that count is now going to be off. You'd know that there is something wrong with the download itself and not with what the download is supposed to be. (Now it's not exactly that simple nor is it perfect, but it helps.)

I keep having an error every time I boot my phone since I installed 2.7.4. The process.com.android.mms application stops unexpectedly, and I have to force close it. Don't know if my mms service is working or not, since I don't really use MMS (not an MMS person). But I was wondering if anyone else have this problem.
[G1 Android Development] imfloflo:
Just flashing the 2.7.4 and during the assistant he doesn't find any wifi network :s

and in settings he says unable to start wifi
[G1 Android Development] chrisrj28:
Been waiting for that to happen. I don't know why it works on every other build except Hero.
[G1 Android Development] jaygajay:
Download and extract the attached file and run the following commands.

adb remount
adb push wlan.ko /system/lib/modules
adb shell reboot

Or if you use terminal download extract and copy the wlan.ko to root of sdcard and run.

su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/wlan.ko /system/lib/modules

Now reboot your phone and try WiFi again

Edit. Attached files....Sorry
[G1 Android Development] josevtome:
Besides the MMS problem I mentioned before I'm also having problems due to the onscreen keyboard is not poping up when opening any app that have a textbox to write as it usually do when the physical keyboard is not open. When I go to setting to check locale & text options the setting app stop working.

Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] citydog5:
Has anyone tried the new app2sd ext4 support? I believe ext4 should yield better performance than ext3/2.

very nice, this experimental build.

tried it, but I'm too lazy to adjust everything now.

Waiting for the release candidate ;-)
[G1 Android Development] free-sidux:
where did you find the info, that ext4 is supported now?
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
question, is the version of 2.7.3 that is up the one with MMS fixed initially?
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Did u guys rename remove the .txt file extension ?
[G1 Android Development] themyth69:
Help

When I switched from 2.6.3 to the latest 2.7.3 I kept getting force closes when I tried to send a text, so I switched back to 2.6.3 and the same thing happened. Can anyone tell me how to correct this? Also can I just run swapper on these ROMS? Thanks for any help I'm so frustrated I'm ready to sell my G1.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Wipe your ext partition. Or recreate it.
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
I know when I first downloaded 2.7 I got those force close issues as well but now I'm trying to see if 2.7.3 has this fixed so I can reflash because having pushed so many files my phone had some minor yet annoying issues.

So is 2.7.3 the version with MMS.apk properly working?
[G1 Android Development] g1junky:
:eek: 2.7.4 is definitely the fastest
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Nandroid is your best friend. 2.7.3 works perfect for me in terms of the sms/mms.
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
aiight, thats all i needed to know...it prob has to do with the fact that I never wiped my ext3 coming from 1.8 on. Wiped it now.
[G1 Android Development] citydog5:
From CyanogenMod ROM v3.6.8.1 release notes. Since wlan.ko is compiled for cm kernel, I take that JACHeroski 2.7.4 uses the same kernel as CyanogenMod ROM v3.6.8.1.

The origin of cm kernel is from CyanogenMod, no?
[G1 Android Development] RussianSolja:
Sorry to say but this ROM is slow as ****. Its way to laggy, im without a doubt downgrading. Dont get me wrong its a beautiful ROM but it's laggy and annoying to have to wait for the home screen to load up. Thanks to the people who put there hard work and effort in to this rom but it just to slow for my taste.
[G1 Android Development] cronin4392:
How is 2.7.4 usability wise? Are there still alot of bugs to be worked out?
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
okay so to upload 2.7.4 all i need to to is repartition sd card, flash update.zip,than can i put wlank.ko on sd and push through terminal?
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
Don't sell your G1!

Who will I have to help if you do? Just re-format like suggested. :cool:
[G1 Android Development] citydog5:
for those who have successfully downloaded and flashed 2.7.4, what is the md5sum?
[G1 Android Development] g2crx:
Yepp don't forget to fix ext and wipe before flashing.
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
Doing this now. I have file extensions hidden.

When you save the file as userinit.sh using Vista or (Windows 7 which I'm using)

Save the file as All Files.
[G1 Android Development] nicholasbithell:
Try this in terminal..

have you moved it to your extX partion yet?

If you havent do this...

su

#cd /sdcard

#ls

Now Does your "userinit.sh" file have the ".TXT" on the end of it if so you need to rename it to "userinit.sh" just leave out the ".txt" and you should be goo if that is the issue.
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
what you mean fix ext? switch it to ext3?
[G1 Android Development] nicholasbithell:
Double post
[G1 Android Development] RussianSolja:
Is there anyway i can enjoy this ROM as much as you guys are enjoying it without having to deal with all the lag? i love the rom just hate the ULTRA LAGGG!
[G1 Android Development] g2crx:
yes but in recovery you need to use the repair ext. option. Then wipe and update.
[G1 Android Development] g2crx:
Follow these steps

Formatting you SDcard

You only need to do this once folks..if you already have 3 partitions including linux-swap move to step 2

You need Recovery image 1.31 to do this folks!

To format card SD card with linux-swap WARNING!!! this will reformat you entire SD card!!

You can use the recovery console and parted to format SDcards with 1.31 folks, no more going through hassles you have the tools on you G1!...here is an example of how to do this in recovery console using parted. DO NOT USE MORE THAN 32MB SWAP!!!

Example for 8GB card (this example plays it safe and will leave a small amount leftover regardless of the 8GB 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

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7200

mkpartfs primary ext2 7200 7700

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 7700 7732

#print (to verify we have the 3 partitions)

Example for my 4GB card

#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

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 3420

mkpartfs primary ext2 3420 3932

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 3932-3964

Example for a 2GB card playing it safe

#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

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 1200

mkpartfs primary ext2 1200 1700

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 1700-1732

"End?" you need to place the last value for the linux swap eg.3964 for my 4GB card

#print (to verify we have the 3 partitions)

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

#upgrade_fs

Swap value is set to 30 currently, you can change this by modifying the "echo" value for swappiness in the a2sd.sh script

For a longer more detailed parted turorial read this

Flashing the ROM

The second part is getting the ROM on our phone

Copy the ROM to you sdcard as update.zip, enter the recovery console via home+power and lets flash, Check ext filesystems first, if it tells you to go to console to manually check do it! After I've repaired the EXT partition or if it didn't need repair I will now wipe and then apply the update and reboot...Done!

I just copied and pasted from OP
