SOOOOOO fast and SMOOOOTH!!! Haven't seen this kinda speed since Drizzy's stuff!

2 MAJOR problems though...

Music fc's

Settings fc's

and some weird thing called Media fc's as well....

Sucks cuz I can't change ringtones or listen to music. Ugh...

Just wanting to see if anyone else is having the same issues cuz if not, I'll just wipe and reflash again... =/

P.S. SO FAST!!!!! =O BFS ROCKS!!!!
[G1 Android Development] ChrisChavez:
When in settings, I can't change notifications or ringtones... Just force closes all over the place... =/

Music is working for me either. =(

Its really fast though! Lol...
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
anyone else having issues just getting the rom to install??? i've tried everything to get this damn thing to work and it keeps looping on the hero image.... it is driving me friggin nuts... also anyone else notice that when you upgrade_fs that it still says ext2 when you type of the print command?? is this correct or should it actually show ext3
[G1 Android Development] xitaxuta:
always install TouchPal first.. then go setting check TouchPal and uncheck Touch Input.. reboot and go ahead and delete the /system/app/HTC_IME.apk ;)
[G1 Android Development] law_ren_ce:
How long did this take for the 1st boot? Im still at the htc screen but the button lights and the keyboard lights light up and the phone goes into sleep mode.

Its not boot looping.
[G1 Android Development] ChrisChavez:
It should DEFINITELY show ext3...

I'm a noob and if you're using Cyanogen 1.4, you should be able to ugrade_fs to ext3... I've done it numerous times after re-partitioning my card...

And it installed fine.

You wiped, wiped ext3, wiped again, and repaired ext file systems???
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
5 min for me. your fine, press menu see if wizards ready
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
everytime i type upgrade_fs it goes through it's little thing but i don't think i've ever seen it say ext3 when i go back through. it says something about update fs or some crap but i've never had any issues with loaded any roms up until now.. i've remade 2 times now wiped fix'ed flashed wiped and fixed again.. and still loops at the hero screen..
[G1 Android Development] ChrisChavez:
WAIT.

What's the rush anyway???

Go make a sandwich or something.... lol

It'll be fine. I think JAC said something about it taking a little longer than usual. But its worth it. =)
[G1 Android Development] law_ren_ce:
whats your ext3 and linux-swap set at?
[G1 Android Development] alxbd:
No Home Screen

I Just cant have the home screen... boots fine... but dont have the home.:eek:
[G1 Android Development] ChrisChavez:
Krikey....

I'd say re-download the ROM again... Maybe it got corrupted?

Like I said, I'm a noob and it all went together fine.

(Just the issue with settings, media and music fc-ing) =p
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
WHY!!!!!! do you have to post both ROMs at the same time JAC???? I want to see both of them so I can experience the final product. WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D:D:D
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
ok so i reflashed the recovery rom. and now it upgraded to ext3.. very weird... now i'm gonna try to reinstall the rom i'm hoping that worked
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
sounds like a good idea right? but when i have touch input installed i cant even open locale and text without getting a settings FC
[G1 Android Development] fdeschape:
2.5

here is another screenshot of my phone showing that i received an sms
[G1 Android Development] dbhatesyou:
how about searching. try

su
chown system.system /data/app
chown system.system /data/app-private
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
i have just made a video to show the performance of 2.6, find it here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlXqtg1EoMQ
[G1 Android Development] KennySmoothx:
Sweet, I'm still on 2.4 I think but it looks like its running real smooth
[G1 Android Development] KNK:
Hey thanks for posting that. Looks like is REALLY snappy! Did you do anything beyond the initial setup to make it snappy like that?
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
i looked at the changelog, is 2.6 a beta release only because of the new kernel? Are there any other bugs other than the usual ones? It looked great in that video...thanks
[G1 Android Development] josevtome:
I have installed 2.5, and it's very veeeeeeery laggy!... can you post your settings? is your G1 overclocked? how much? swap config, etc! thanks!

And by the way, I've been using it for an hour and it has rebooted 2 times. I'm sure this isn't normal. I just installed a couple of apps from the market, removed most of the widgets, and it takes loooong time to change from screen to screen and came back home from any app. Suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
I Have a quiestion, i just flashed 2.5 and im getting no root access, ne body had the same issue???
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
so 2.6 is running good? no wifi issues? do I take the plunge from 2.5r???
[G1 Android Development] CPR123:
WOW!!! 2.6 is really smooth, I may flash later but am enjoying 2.5.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Suggest you don't. As stated it is still a beta so problems will be there
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
I'm not overclocked, only change was enabling my 32mb Linux swap partition using a userinit.sh file with swappiness set to 20

Edit: 2.6 is stable enough to be usable, only thing I miss is multitouch in the new kernel
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
Yeah I'm gonna stick with 2.5r seems much faster than 2.4r
[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
how did u do that??
[G1 Android Development] himu007:
v2.5 laggy

copy Rosie.apk from /system/sd/app_s to /data/app_s

I've done this for myself and its fast now.
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
can you do this in terminal? and do you know the commands?
[G1 Android Development] BombaMyte:
Shot In The Dark...

Probably. Boot into recovery (Home & Power), go to the console (Alt-X), hit Enter, then:

cd /system/sd/app_s
mv Rosie.* /data/app_s/
rm Rosie.* /system/sd/app_s
reboot
[G1 Android Development] MvP77:
Get root explorer or Su File manager from the market. You can copy and paste items and dont have to use adb or terminal.
[G1 Android Development] stopjockingme@gmail.com:
HEY! i have root explorer, but how do u push files using root explorer?
[G1 Android Development] djdeviance:
So far the only prob with 2.6beta I've had is Wi-Fi not turning off even after switching it off.
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
that's weird. it goes through htc than the hero logo makes the noise and than it loops back to the hero but doesn't make the noise anymore... not a normal loop damnit back to the drawing board yet again..... i can't for the life of me get this friggin thing to install...
[G1 Android Development] xitaxuta:
patience is a virtue
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
trying it right now gonna comment later :) thx JAC and cc .
[G1 Android Development] RaQHoliday:
HOLY CHRIST this is fast...

Already flashed, got all my apps installed, setup my notification sounds/ringtones and got all my social networking setup. Just about EVERYTHING is working fine (aside from BT and the LED's of course, and I haven't tested MT). Not a single Force Close yet, and all on a 32MB Linux-Swap.

PROPS on this one, man. THIS is the Hero I've been waiting to flash (uh... no homo/pause where applicable).

Edit: Still won't find my location when connected to 3G, but Edge works just fine in maps for location. I'll deal lol.
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
i know its early to be theming this, but i got the old transparent style lockscreen going on this build... had to do some modifying to the com.htc.resources.apk that goldenarmz posted a while back but i got it running and it looks good....

if anyone wants me to post the updated zip file let me know. i will include instructions also
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I ran it with the settings in the user.conf with 32MB and 64MB. 64 seemed to do well and never ran low on memory for me. I did a lot of testing to get the 40 swapiness, so give it a try before you change it. I have benchmark numbers to back it up.
[G1 Android Development] P-Unit87:
1.8 is fast and smooth. I been receiving phone calls on the spot within the first ring or two. BFS rocks !!! Although, the notifications for the missed calls take a while to show up for some reason. Its not right after the missed call for some reason. There is no multitouch for the browser but not upset at all. I cant ever get a gps lock on me. This was same for the last builds as well. Everything else works great.

Is the speaker a little loud on this build. Did he include the meltus audio hack v7?
[G1 Android Development] ChrisChavez:
YES PLEASE!!!! That would be so awesome!!! =D
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
The script I added will make your phone ring faster and the htc music player play better. I also upped the priority on touchflo and it made it much smoother. BFS makes everything faster on top of all of that. I'm glad to know it's ringing well for you.
[G1 Android Development] Six6Sicks:
I don't even bother doing "rm 1" to wipe the fat32, nothing gets loaded on the fat32 so it's pointless to delete. Plus if I have all my music, pics, etc on my sd card, why waste time moving them, re-formatting, then putting them back on. Just wastes time.
[G1 Android Development] yourtravelboy:
JacxHHERO 1.8 report

Everything is working fast and stable with a wipe and wipe of ext3. I am amazed at how fast and smooth it is. Great JOB everyone who worked on this!!!! I know you all have spent a lot of time and effort making this rom what it is today. After trying this rom I can't imagine what else there is to improve on lol. I guess its time to theme the crap out of the thing, huh? Well if I find any errors I'll be sure to post.

G1

Running Flawlessly!!!

Night and Day difference from other roms

This is a must flash rom! Don't hesitate!!! You'll be glad you did :)
[G1 Android Development] P-Unit87:
Yeah Thanks!!! Great work to all the devs for all their hard work. :)
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
so annoyed that everyone got there's to work right and i for the life of me cannot get the damn thing to flash properly..
[G1 Android Development] sleepymonk:
Anybody have sounds problem while doing a video recording...like no sound being picked up..

or has it been a problem all along like bluetooth

god i hate no knowing anything but with time i will become a master
[G1 Android Development] dweller88:
Holy cow this rom is the best 9/9/9 news.

forget The Beatles or some dull old ipods :p

Many thanks to all devs involved in this superfast rom.
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
it has taken me an hour and thirty min to get this thing to stop boot-looping... i'm sooo excited i need a cigerette now.. lol it is finally sitting on the htc screen now.. been there for over a minute !!!!!yay
[G1 Android Development] bizz3d:
I just noticed your sig, do you still have the sapphire SPL? on your G1. It may be that, i dint think thats the correct one for this build, just a guess.

good luck
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
I gotta try that(since I don't have a class 6)! :eek::eek:

Hows the battery life? I bet its horrible!
[G1 Android Development] shorteh:
So I've downloaded this ROM, flashed it, and must say it's a nice quick responsive ROM.

Only problem I have is that ChompSMS refuses to work with this ROM and most of the newer ROMs.

It FCs whenever I hit the send button.... not sure why that is.
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
are you still running sapphire spl?
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
i'm running haykuro's spl.. i think that it was because i was pulling the micro card outta the sdcard reader to quickly and it was corrupting the image.. not sure though but it is up and running
[G1 Android Development] parrothd:
Gotta Say this is supper fast and running smooth without any modifications...

Tested sms, works great, got them all.

Exchange,facebook,twitter, wifi all work, no LEDs, but no lag!...

Speaker is way louder, and the phone rings when it's supposed to.. :)

Great job guys!
[G1 Android Development] Jerzeeloon:
might sound dumb but what is bfs?
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
any chance of the userinit which enables the LEDs in a build anytime soon?

Great work on this ROM btw!
[G1 Android Development] Conundrum68:
Flashed fine

Sry duplicate post
[G1 Android Development] Conundrum68:
Flashed fine

1. Reboot into recovery.

2. Go to console.

3. RM 2, RM 3 to get rid of partitions.

4. Recreate ext2 and swap partitions.

5. upgrade_fs to change ext2 to ext3

6. Reboot into recovery.

7. Wipe system.

8. Flash new ROM.

9. Reboot.

10. Wait. Mine took almost 10 min.

11. Enjoy.

--Details of each of these steps can be found throughout this thread and others. RESEARCH like I did and don't ask pointless questions.

So far so good. I'm running it stock and its great.

Changed swappiness to 60 with 96MB swap partition.

So far very nice.

Thanks for all the hard work devs. Truly appreciated.

I'm getting no sound on the camcorder either.

[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Hey sorry to bug, but what is your swap, and swappiness at? I am running the same card you have, and I would like to know what swap I should be running in order to not have any stickiness.
[G1 Android Development] anddep:
oh damn thought i was the only one
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
how much longer til LEDs?
[G1 Android Development] Ssantos6981:
What about when the screen is open?

Everytime I hit the home key from typing a text, or anything with the screen open, I get the loading screen.

any plans on fixing that?
[G1 Android Development] bizz3d:
sorry to hear that, but no problems here. super smooth with 32mb swap and 90 swappiness
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
its because the HTC Hero doesnt have a physical keyboard. there are many threads about this. once it "loads" you can use the homescreen but it wont show up landscape.
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
I upgraded my ext2 to ext3 after flashing the ROM. Everything worked fine afterward.
[G1 Android Development] Shimaonari:
Thank you! This ROM works like a charm. I'd even say - like a DREAM :)
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Have you tried the default of 40? I tested 30, 40, 60, 80, and 100 (actually I tested smaller intervals than that but I didn't test 90 specifically) and 40 had the best response times. Also, there is a slight performance improvement on this build with compcache enabled. I didn't get a chance to test with BFS on but prior to that Compcache was giving better benchmark numbers. If you want to try it out, enable compcache and set cc_memlimit=18.
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
this is off topic but didn't anyone else notice that pandora is on the market now.. it's like an early christmas. this rom works amazingly and i can use pandora now... such a great day
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
So I take it you need to wipe to upgrade from 1.72r2?

If so, is it worth the upgrade from 1.72 - I'm running great already and not sure if there is anything worth upgrading for if it requires wiping my phone.
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
Holy crapoly Batman! Now this is the way hero was supposed to run! BFS! To the rescue. Excellent job JAC! And to all the devs involved
[G1 Android Development] bizz3d:
yes I actually learned it from you :). I tried 30, 40 and 60 found some stating 90 when you have tons of widgets, which I do. so 90 it is and seems to work for me. Compcache enabled huh? ill have to benchmark and run some testing this weekend. its really the only time I have to take my time.

Ive been waiting for the Rom with the new Linux patch BFC? so i jumped on it today during work shhhhh :rolleyes:

Simple *noob friendly* walkthrough AUTO PARTITION OF SD CARD

Step-by-step instructions for Partitioning SD CARD with nothing more than your phone and a card reader for you PC...

**Ideal for Hero...definitely can be used for any ROM (check to see the best Linux-swap partition size for your ROM)**

Download and put sdparted.txt in the root of your sd (Not in a folder)...

Instructions: Make sure you watch spaces [press space] and hit "enter" on the keyboard anytime you see [push enter]

-Power down phone, then boot into recovery (hold home + power buttons til G1 screen appears)

-Scroll to "go to console" [Alt + X]

[push enter]

mount[press space]/sdcard[push enter]

cp[press space]/sdcard/sdparted.txt[press space]/sbin/sdparted[push enter]

chmod[press space]755[press space]/sbin/sdparted[push enter]

sdparted[press space]-efs[press space]ext4[press space]-ss[press space]96M[push enter] **

**-efs ext4 -ss 96M (Default: Linux-Swap=96Mb EXT4=512Mb FAT32=sdcard remaining free space) <- The "96M" part can be changed to what-ever size you want your Linux-Swap to be (example (what I use)= 150M will create 150MB Linux-Swap)

[you'll see on screen]

checking script permissions...done

checking script requirements...done

do you want to continue? (Y/n)

Y[push enter]

***Any time you see this message for the rest of the process, just push and hold (on your keyboard) the shift key [lower left hand corner up-arrow] and y to make a " Y "*** <= will say "error: script canceled by user if anything else is put in....make sure it is a capital " Y "***

reboot[press space]recovery[push enter] **Exit Recovery Console and boot your phone into recovery mode**

Now you are going to open the back of your phone and take out your battery, and remove your SD card to put in the card reader for you pc

1. Download your favorite ROM and put it on the root of your SD (using a card reader)

2. Wipe your phone through Recovery (same as you've been doing)

3. Flash " YOUR ROM HERE " through Recovery -> " apply any .zip "

**So happy you don't know what to do with yourself...donate to me (link in my signature) :D**
[G1 Android Development] Bzerk1:
This ROM is fluid! smooth, fast, and definitly feels stable. big ups to JAC and all the devs. i think this is one i can stick with for awhile. what i'd like to change on a quicker note.

-gps lockin location, it worked after like 10 mins of trying over and over and turned off location by wifi, by that time id be lost. although ive only seen it work good on like 2 hero roms. Maybe a gps turn on affect to turn off wifi location if possible.

-wifi settings widget doesnt turn on wifi, but it does turn it off.

-multitouch

i'll add in more when i find more.
[G1 Android Development] amirnew:
It's just my phone that doesn't work good?

40MB swap

FC on phone book search no multitouch can't see the improvment from 1.6a wich in my openion was the best...

amir
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Try a wipe and reinstall. It is smokin fast for everyone else.
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Try settings a higher swappiness, if not then a higher swap and like a 60 swappiness.
[G1 Android Development] dweller88:
My WiFi toggle widget turns WiFi on and off with no problem.

Still can't get over how slick this is running.
[G1 Android Development] P-Unit87:
When receiving calls, the contacts that you have saved in your phone book dont show up when the person calls? It just shows their phone number. It doesn't say the person's name or pic? Is it software glitch?
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
it show's my girlfriend's name and facebook pic when she calls... i'm not having that issue
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I think that is a known issue. If your contacts don't have their area code saved it doesn't figure it out. Does anyone know more about this? I know I've heard of it somewhere.
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
i have not heard of this issue. just the syncing problem...where sometimes it doesn't sync all your contacts and you have to manually sync it again...
[G1 Android Development] ChrisChavez:
Just wanna say, FINALLY... Great ROM. Drizzy-ish speed. =p

I did notice that when on the Homescreen there was a SLIGHT lag or chug when the home screen is stopped, then swiping your finger to move to another screen. After you get it moving though, it would be nice and smooth. I had a hunch that maybe it was cuz it was underclocked to 128 minimum and overclocked to 528 maximum...

Sure enough, I installed the Overclock Widget from the market place and yep. There it was.

So I changed it to minimum 528 and maximum 528 when the screen is on....

And 128 minimum, 245 maximum when screen is off (to conserve battery)

I'm telling you..... HUUUUUUUUUUUGE difference. Buttery smooth and SOOOOOO fast now... Even more than when I flashed it stock! =O

I know, I know... They say don't run any kind of overclocking cuz its automatic but I'm telling you.... There is huge difference and this thing is seriously even more BLAZING fast now....

Try it if you dare. Lol...

I dared. And I'm happy. =p
[G1 Android Development] P-Unit87:
Its not the area code cus all my contacts have area code. Its been happening with several of the last hero builds i have tried.
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
In the user.conf file, I see this line of instruction:

Can I set the compcache_en to 1? What will happen?
[G1 Android Development] P-Unit87:
Wait till a couple of days, when you start seeing alot of force close and lagging where its unbearable. Its fast now but it will die down fast.
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
Hey,

I think you can permanently change the CPU frequency in the user.conf file.

You can change scaling_min_freq=128000 to scaling_min_freq=348000 (or 528000)
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
You can. I would not suggest setting your min to 528 using the overclock widget either. The way I set the CPU upthreshold it should move smoothly up to 528. If you want to move the min to 245760 or 384 that is not a bad option.
[G1 Android Development] Prod1702:
Well i ahve had nothing but problems with 1.6r2a and 1.7r2 with bootloops and no being able to get them installed but 1.8 installed and boot in 5 mins for me. only thing that i have seen is i am unable to run any java app. I always get a Jbed FC. Which is ok to me since i dont use java anyway. Running with 64mb swap and 80 swappiness. everything is flying. Thanks for the work JAC.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I tested both with and without Compcache enabled. I was on a build that didn't have BFS but it was close to the final build. I got slightly better benchmark numbers with compcache enabled but there seems to be a stigma around Compcache on Hero. People will see performance issues because they want to. So Linux-Swap is enabled by default. Just make sure you disable linux swap and turn on backing swap. Also, set the memlimit =18 instead of 16.
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
With this kind of speed I could so see sense UI running on this !
[G1 Android Development] P-Unit87:
So, get this? When rebooting it, apparently the caller i.d. started to work and it felt it alittle more responsive when recieving calls. I think the default swap value is perfect. Right now i ahve a linux swap of 96mb and using a default swappiness value of 40.
[G1 Android Development] ChrisChavez:
Okay... I know I'm gonna be crucified for this... or ignored lol

But how do you edit the "user.conf file"????????
[G1 Android Development] mygti02:
is there a command i can do on the phone to change the swappieness with out having to use ADB?
[G1 Android Development] mygti02:
adb pull /system/bin/user.conf c:\<any directory>

make changes then

adb push c:\<saved directory> /system/bin

that should do it :)

i hope though if there is a way to make the changes via command on the phone :)
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I always have weird things happen after an install before I reboot for the first time.

I've done a lot of testing on the user.conf and setPriority.sh. The only reason I could see someone needing to change the swapiness value is if they have a different class of SD card and it performed differently than my class 6.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Not on hero. You can use vi but I haven't found a way to remount the /system folder as rw. So you can't write your changes to the file.
