At first, it wasn't working for me too on the 3g, but after I updated the google map on the android market with it's new version, everything was working fine for me too. Oh yea, you have to be outside for the GPS to work fully, and the same goes with locating through your mobile network, but sometimes it works when you're indoors. I haven't had any problems after I updated google maps. You should give it a try!

APN swisscom

Hi,

The ROM is working fine. Except the mobile network connection. I entered my network APN (for swisscom, Swiztzerland) but the applications cannot connect to the network. I don't see the little edge logo... I aldready tried to disable + enable the mobile network. Still not working. Any suggestion?
[G1 Android Development] JoeSzymkowicz:
If I've already flashed B onto the phone and want to try A, can I just flash A over B? Which version would I use?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
just flash the 1.5_to1.6r2a_nowipe version.

Should the JACxHeroskiv1.6r2B version as fast as cupcake(1.5) for the g1?

Because when i switch from the main screen to hotmail, or from the main screen to twitter it takes a long time to load the mail and the twitter account.Should this be as fast as the cupcake version on g1. I have the idea that the G1 is a little slow for the Hero software :)
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
turns out everyone wants to be a hero these days...

It should be 10 times faster. Plus it will make your breakfast for you, make your hair grow back, and replace your prescription of viagra!!!!

laggy?

ok, first-off, i LOVE this new ROM(1.6r2a).... at first it was very, verrrrrry laggy.... well, from the day it was posted until about an hour ago, when i decided to wipe my ext3(not just pressing alt+W, etc.) And to my amazement, it is faster/smoother than i could've ever imagined!!

so, for all of you who are saying it lags, i feel your pain:( But go and try wiping your ext3 through console in cyan's 1.4 recovery, and see if that helps. If you have already done so.... I have no other words of advice for you, as i am still somewhat of a nub at all of this.

below is a link to a page that will guve you instructions on wiping your ext2/3 partition on your sd through console.

[G1 Android Development] sanmartindj:
Try the port in the sapphire forum. The post was updated with the 1.5 to 1.6r2 nonwipe. I also got the blurry screen when I used dream roms. Just wait for the 32B ports and use those.

[G1 Android Development] dragonranpu:
Try formatting you Ext3/2 partition and the wipe then reinstall the rom

DO this from the recovery console

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd

rm -r /system/sd/*
[G1 Android Development] Encatsu:
how do you format the ext2/3? sorry im a new to this stuff..
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
go into revoery via home+red button

go down and select console

press enter once

and then enter this

# mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd

# cd /system/sd

# rm -rf /system/sd/*

# reboot recovery
[G1 Android Development] Encatsu:
ok i did that.. now wen i reflashed my hero rom after i set it up it gives me a force close for htc setup wizard than it just stays there in a black screen whats going on, how do i fix this?
[G1 Android Development] dragonranpu:
that has happened to me. just reboot the phone.
[G1 Android Development] Encatsu:
just rebooted, still does it, gives me the force close, btw this rom worked for me b4 it formated ext

nevermind, took out battery, reflashed, worked!

thank you for all who has helped me..especially the person who told me to reformat ext3/2 cuz now my messages work!
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
after wiping ext. did u repair ext,then full wipe then reflash?

i wish so bad, JAC found another way of calling his ROMS, or maybe did a round up of all he got, coz now there's JACxROM, JACMANROM, JACHERO, JACHEROSKi, there's 2.7.4, and 1.6rb?? so hard to keep track here..
[G1 Android Development] gary.lavin:
I just went from 2.7.4 to 1.6B and it has less of a lag issue and seems a better ROM, still can't get bluetooth but all the new stuff makes it worth the switch.

[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
MyTouch

Just got my new MyTouch :D

(I feel like a noob all over again)

Flashed 1.6r2A with OUT using any partitions on my sdcard, just FAT32 (no ext2,3or4, no linux-swap)

Internal phone memory is currently at 215mb :eek:

Is this normal???, if it is then there is no reason to run apps2sd on a MyTouch

Now thinking of running only a Fat32 and linux-swap... anyone know if this is possible. Or do I need ALL 3 partitions in order to have swap working?
[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
I just flashed this Rom on my MT3G and I have no blurry/fuzzy screen.
[G1 Android Development] legend0fthefall:
When I first used Jac's hero roms I always used 32MB swap. Ran fine enough, but there was lag, enough to get annoying sometimes.

I then switched to 96MB swap. Since moving to 96MB the phone is smooth as glass. I giggle almost every time I swipe my screen from side to side and watch it glide like it's on ice, no more stuttering or lag.
[G1 Android Development] ChrisChavez:
Nope. Works perfect. :)
[G1 Android Development] ChrisChavez:
Wait- I'm using 96MB swap and its still all kinds of stuttery! How much swappiness are you using???

Anybody else wanna recommend a good swappiness????
[G1 Android Development] ChrisChavez:
I've noticed both of these problems. :(
[G1 Android Development] Encatsu:
BTW everyone I really reccomend this rom..like a post said before, when you first download it, its not that smooth but once you format the ext3/2 its really good..
[G1 Android Development] nycbasic:
you have to play around with it, because everyone's G1 is different. So you should personalize the settings yourself to see what works.
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
any ideas/fixes/etc? for these issues that i posted? if i didnt love the facebook/camera/text setup on hero so much id prob hop on a cyan mod.
[G1 Android Development] xitaxuta:
Try 100 swappines if you are using 96mb swap size

Its an old issue that was fixed and the expense of only receiving about 50% of your text messages.

Leave it alone. We don't want it broken again. :mad:
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
You are going to have to be more specific. You say that none of them work for you, well since they work for most everyone else the problem seems to be with you, so lets do a checklist

1. Do you have a G1 (or variation of it) ?

2. Do you have root?

3. Do you have the latest radio?

4. Do you have the latest SPL?

5. Do You have Cyanogens recovery 1.4?

6. Is your SD Card divided into 3 partitions as described in the first post of this thread.

7. Are you following the instructions on the first post correctly?

If you can honestly answer yes to all these questions there is no reason that I can think of why this rom will not work for you.
[G1 Android Development] akycia:
hmmmm?

ok, but what is strange, is that it worked for me yesterday.... and the only change to my phone since then has been setting my swappiness to 60 from 30..... so, idk wtf is going on really. And i never experienced the problem with not receiving texts.... whatever though... i guess that i can deal with keyboard typing for now:(, thx.
[G1 Android Development] jasonsplace:
Is there a way to change the Swap Size and Swapiness without a wipe? What do I need to do? I'm just using the defaults listed in the first thread but would like to try a few different ones to see if I can increase the performance.
[G1 Android Development] akycia:
swappiness

IN TERMINAL:

type: su

To set swappiness to 80:

type: echo 80 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness the number 80 is the variable.. change it to your desired swappiness( mine is at 60, with 96mb swap partition)

To check swappiness:

type: cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
[G1 Android Development] tonymoreno23:
Now if my memory serves me correctly, changing the swappiness from the terminal using that command line only changes the swappiness until you reboot, in which case it reverts back to the default Echo 30.

Correct me if i'm wrong, i've been pulling the userinit.sh files and changing the echo from the script itself in order to change swappiness!
[G1 Android Development] chrisrj28:
Yes going thru terminal will change it until you reboot your phone and it goes back to stock. Check out the post here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4409257&postcount=8097 thats how to make it permanent
[G1 Android Development] p_pen:
Finally, my phone is smooth. Please correct me if what I did is wrong. What I did is that I installed the swapper app from market. First, I click the "swap on" button, then go to setting, change the swap size to 96mb and swappiness to 100. I didn't check the "use swap partition" box from the advanced preferences. I followed the first post instruction to partition my sd card, so my 8gb class 6 sd card has 3 partitions. Right now my phone is smooth and the speed of loading home screen is very accetable when closing big apps likes copilot.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
linux-swap is enabled by default, you don't need the swapper app. All you need is a linux-swap partition.

Why is gmail down? Does god hate us?
[G1 Android Development] p_pen:
Thanks for your reply. The reason I installed the swapper app was my phone was lag even though I wipe the ext3. May be I should just change the swappiness setting manually instead of using swapper.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
do you have a third partition?

FAT32

EXT3

Linux-swap

linux-swap is ran on the third partition. compcache is run on EXT3
[G1 Android Development] p_pen:
Yes I have 3 partitions. I followed the instruction from the first post to create the 3 partitions.
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
omg absolutely no lag after trying every swap size and swappiness....im tryning to make myphone lag and its not even tryin to......everyone...flash 1.6r2b and put your swap size at exactly 32 and put swappiness at 40....guaranteed no lag AT ALL
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
the only time it lags...that means 1..either u gettin a text, email...or some kind of app is connecting to the internet or 2...ur phone is syncin

[G1 Android Development] JoeSzymkowicz:
I just ftp'd to the phone, downloaded the user.conf file, changed the value and moved it back on the phone. Restarting. We'll see how it goes.

UPDATE

Everything seems like it still works fine. B is pretty lag-free anyways, and i dont really see a difference with the new value for swappiness
[G1 Android Development] gary.lavin:
How exactly did you make the changes?
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
1. Flash to 1.6r2b (may work with r2a, not sure).

2. Make sure swap is at 32 MB....EXACTLY 32MB...

3. Go to terminal and type:

su

echo 40 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

4. You should be good to go...If you restart your phone, then retype echo code since it resets when you restart .

what did u type in terminal?

this is what i did. i just want to make sure i that i am understanding what you are saying. and btw my linux-swap partition is 33mb.

mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

echo 40 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

i dont understand how swappiness can be set to 40 when the linus swap partition is 33.
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
Swappiness merely refers to how often apps and unused application data is being transferred to the swap partition, therefore, you can theoretically set it to any number you desire. The only catch is that the higher you set it, the quicker it fills up. I hope that answers why your swappiness can be 40 while your partition is only 33MB, if that wasn't what you were asking, this was addressed to someone's else ;p
[G1 Android Development] amack10:
So is this the code i enter to change swappiness in terminal emulator

mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

echo 40 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

After typeing su ? Or do i have to type any other commands first. And do i hav to do this everytime i reboot my phone or will the setting stay. My swap partition is 96 mb.

SMS resent on boot?

Hey, iI searched and cant seem to find an answer and asked this in Dream Questions and Answers and I get no response. My apologies if I may have missed its answer looking through this thread. I have an interesting problem I can't seem to find the answer for. I have a G1 running JACheroski v1.6r2a and for some reason when I restart my phone it re-sends old messages to the last few people I have text. Sometimes it even sends close to 40 old messages to one contact alone! Is this a common issue or am I the only one experiencing this? I can't seem to figure out why it happens, it seems no matter what ROM i flash the issue persists. Anyone have any idea why? Thanx in advance.

[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I don't think he was saying it was good or bad. He was just explaining what the settings are. It is probably a decent setting. The suggested size for the ROM is 32MB and 40 swapiness will be ok. Other people have said helped them so give it a try.

cp /sdcard/user.conf /system/bin/
