i must agree with you on that ...i was using jachero2.63 for over a day and saw battery life was not too great as it was when i was running 1.4c...so i just flashed back and this builds been great...
[G1 Android Development] Zarboz:
Cool im goin back to this build tonight then

multi touch is cool but i dont care about it

as long as flash works
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Working on MT now!
[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
Can you replace the M with a B :o
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Haha yea I will. I'm just at my girls place and I forgot my USB cable, without which I am completely useless and lost. Seriously, I feel lost. Tomorrow I'm devoting to shafty's BT and gonna interface with JAC and see where he is with it.

MT I can do without a USB cable.
[G1 Android Development] svtcontour:
Working BT would make this the best build EVAH /boston accent.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Hahaha thanks. But in all seriousness BT is going to a be a joint effort, if not mostly Shafty and JAC. They got the jump on me and I'm just going to be building off them :)
[G1 Android Development] zgmf-x322a:
i ran alot of roms lately.....tried jac and ski's roms.......just found out that ski's rom are much better than jac's rom....its more smooth, faster and responsive.....im looking forward to ski's latest update......keepup the good work :D:D

p.s. hope that bt works in the next few updates.....needed it badly :P
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Me too! Hopefully, after we crack this one all future hacks will be easier, as we'll understand the fundamentals better. Here's to charting the uncharted!
[G1 Android Development] ha85:
wow these hero roms have come a long way since I last flashed...I have a question, is this rom supposed to be more performance oriented?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
This ROM is focused on battery life, performance, and being able to utilize the widgets and sweet apps that come with Hero! DUHHHH ;)
[G1 Android Development] mofoj0e:
I agree! I tried Jacs and Skis as well and for me, Skis recent rom kickass. My battery life is a lot better and the interface is snappier. Great job on the rom!
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Thanks guys, you make it worth the effort! :D

LED

PERFECT BESIDES LED LED LED LED LED LED LED LED LED LED LED LED LED THIS IS ALLLL I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEED phuck BT i barely use it and mt alsoo is great, good job btw im posting this with my g1 on ur rom lol
[G1 Android Development] chrisag92:
how r sms mms working?

because in JAC's the pictures would come out super small

and sms wouldnt be recieved alot

also i wanted to ask if flashing this messes up the partition on ur sd card because on JAC's thats wut happens
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
how did it mess up your partition?
[G1 Android Development] chrisag92:
tried changeing baq 2 another rom nd wiped and kept boot looping me but then i formated my sd nd BAM it was fixed no boot loop

i would really liek to know if these r fixed on this rom

kus i would be more than happy to flash it if so
[G1 Android Development] veritasaequita:
guys im having a tuff time grasping this one, what would be the most optimal setup on my 16gig sd card? what order, format and sizes of partitions, and also direct placement of swap...thanks a bunch.... veritas
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
i wanna flash ur rom dude :D

Do i have to format my sdcard and do all those damn things back over..?

and can you disable apps2sd for me? or release another one without apps2sd? Slow sd over here ;)
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
haha yea, I'll do it in a bit.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Thanks man :D

and do i have to wipe my partitions and all that D:? or no :D?
[G1 Android Development] XmeccaX:
Yo ski mad props on this Hero rom u made man, 1 of da best i ever used.

just got a question 4 u, im trying to speed up Rosie, i deleted alot of da HTC widgets that i dont use but is it possible for me to move Rosie.apk to internal mem or will it auto move back to sd when i reboot? Thanx in advance for da response
[G1 Android Development] viccyran:
on a side note, i tried jachero 2.5 and managed to get to the point where the phone asked me to give root access to swapper. denied, and blam same problem.. stuck at HTC loading (when i unlock the phone). does anyone have a clue about how to solve this? bleh there are a few other people having the exact same problems, and i think for the most part follwed the exact same steps.
[G1 Android Development] ComplexMinded:
Nice work once again =)
[G1 Android Development] parrothd:
Whats class sdcard is everyone using?

I'm using a class 4 8 gig and get the HTC logo and long launcher load times even with limited widgets...
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Use class 6 for best results
[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
Man Am I Bored!!

This ROM is almost perfect and there is really no need to flash to another or do anything but wait for 2.0 and hope it has BT.

What to do what to do? :cool:

Guess I can rearrange my widgets :p
[G1 Android Development] veritasaequita:
same question
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
FAT32 - 15.4GB

EXT3 - ~570MB

linux-swap - 32MB

IN THAT ORDER!
[G1 Android Development] mumbo_jumbo:
swap

i got Swap worked with Jac all jac release but wont work with HEROski of course fat32 ext2/3 and swap 32meg any one got any idea why? thanks
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
do you have a userinit.rc file anywhere on your sdcard?
[G1 Android Development] phusio:
i have a quick question before im going to flash, i still have 1.51, it has apps2sd, how do i keep my bought apps? Or will they appear as soon as i sign in on my google account when i flashed this ? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
They will stay saved, usually they are still under "My Downloads" Typically though you can't keep them - you'll have to redownload! Unless you use the Backup root app, then you can restore them from your sdcard!
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
im pretty sure it has a swap built in and he said somewhere on here to only use the built in one cuz others wont work.
[G1 Android Development] parrothd:
I posted this in the recovery image thread(sorry) but does nandroid backup the ext3 partition? I wanna switch from my class 4 card to a class 6 without resetting up everything..I can tar it if needed...
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
just backs up data on the phone. 500 posts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :D
[G1 Android Development] mumbo_jumbo:
no sir i dont is that the cause? so how do i fix i had try from fresh start with clean formated card but still a no go BTW thanks for quick reply and your hard work of course
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
double check to make sure you have

FAT32

EXT3

linux-swap (make sure it is an actual linux swap partition)

and reflash. Other than that it should be automatic.

su

free

in terminal, and if there are a bunch of numbers you are good.
[G1 Android Development] kobz1973:
whats the difference between jacHEROskiv1.4C_a2sd.zip and

jacHEROskiv1.4C_a2sd2.zip ??

and whats jacheroski.zip ??

or am i beeing too noosey ...?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
a2sd and a2sd2 are the same thing I'm pretty sure, I just uploaded the second one because the first may have gotten corrupted.

jacHEROski.zip is the original.
[G1 Android Development] kobz1973:
im feeling kinda sad....noo rom flash for 2days almost.....

When can we expect the next update ??

im sooo impatient at times ...lol ....
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
quick question for Ski;

if I keep the swapper app only to check that swap is working in my swap partition will mess up things? should I remove it?

thanks
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
swapper app won't check if you the linux-swap partition is on.

in terminal

su

free

and you should see a bunch of numbers, so long as there are no 0's your good to go.
[G1 Android Development] mumbo_jumbo:
it kinda strange i end up reformat sd and reflash just like u said but no go either, so i reflash jac 2.63 than HEROski without wipe ext3 than it work
[G1 Android Development] psv619:
First hero ROM on my ADP, fantastic work!! Rosie is a game changer!!

I parted and formatted my card (128mb swap, overkill??) - its a 4GB Kingston class 4. Then wiped and flashed. Let it sit and sync overnight, and started to really play with it today. Finding it pretty laggy, even with all the widgets turned off.

Should it take 6-10 seconds to launch the browser the first time?

I REALLY want to keep this ROM on the phone, but the lag almost makes it too hard to use.

Another quick question - with all the apps on the SD - what is the internal phone storage used for?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
in terminal type

su

free

you should see a bunch of numbers, if you have any 0's you've done something wrong.

it shouldn't lag at all.
[G1 Android Development] NingDynasty:
I had to take it off last night :( was missing a lot of text messages...

I'm sure I'll be throwing it back on my phone when you update it next!
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
are you foreal? why am I getting the same readings in terminal and swapper then? ( swapper turn off):cool:
[G1 Android Development] psv619:
Should have included this with my post, sorry about that!

From a fresh restart w/ no widgets and no programs running:

Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
haha why the hell do you have a 100MB swap, way too big for your current swappiness settings.

Also, which link did you use?
[G1 Android Development] psv619:
I was following one of the guides on partitioning the SD card and the guy said 128mb, I figured more couldn't hurt! ;) About to change it to 32mb to see how it works.

I'm using jacHEROskiv1.4C_a2sd.zip

Thanks for the fantastic work and the help on the forum!!
[G1 Android Development] daweeze02:
is there a marketplace bug. Every time I click on any app to download I get a force close of process com.android.vending
[G1 Android Development] psv619:
HOLY CRAP - yes.. it was the size of my swap partition. What a friggin difference!! If my words weren't digital, I'd be eating them right now!

FANTASTIC!!

Might want to add to the first page that this ROM requires a 32mb swap partition, no more no less! Way too many HOWTOs out there suggesting various sizes. THANKS AGAIN!
[G1 Android Development] brummiesteven:
Is anyone else having a facebook problem?

I can link my contacts to facebook profiles no problem. A few days (say a week) later the contact pictures and status', updates and photos will disappear. The worst bit is the "people" application will just show a blank generic image (the silhouette of a man white on grey) even though the contact has a image on google contacts.

As far as I can work out the contacts are linked to the facebook profiles, it's just refusing to get anything. And I cant find any way of de-linking (is that a word lol? :P) and then relinking the contacts to their facebook profiles.
[G1 Android Development] superman08:
Why is it that when ever I click home from other apps the HTC logo comes up then 5 secs later I see loading icon infront of my home screen where I have to wait a further 10 secs before I can access the menu. Is there any fix for this please help. Also when I slide open and close the keyboard from the home screen it takes ages before I can access the phone again. I dont understand what the phone is trying to load for so long at that point.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
you should really read up before you flash a build like Hero. You CAN'T open the keyboard on homescreen on any of them

do you see a bunch of numbers. If so, good. If you see any zeros you've done it wrong.

Do you have three partitions on your sdcard?
[G1 Android Development] superman08:
I am using swapper as I was unable to set up the 3 partitions
[G1 Android Development] parrothd:
Not sure what has happened, but I played around with some files, deleted some locations in the weather app and now this ROM is flying. Still planning on moving to a class 6 card, but really surprise on how well this ROM works now..

keep a changelog next time or retrace your steps. Shoot me what you did and I'll include you in the contributions! Yay for giving back to the community!

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

sound right?
[G1 Android Development] jaygajay:
Your data partition doesn't have enough space for the install. Just go to recovery and do a wipe and try the update again. See if it works.
[G1 Android Development] openback:
Wow, after doing this so many times, you'd think that I would've tried that already! Thanks! *facepalm* (also, somehow my spl got downgraded. I know I upgraded that recently)
[G1 Android Development] parrothd:
All I did was copy launcher.apk to /data/ I was planning on moving it somewhere cuz I thought it was loading slow from my class 4 sdcard but got distracted at work, then on the drive home I was playing with the weather app, noticed it has all these default locations loaded and deleted them all except for current location. The ROM is running super fast, was seeing lots of htc logos and long (like 1-2 minutes) rosie load times... not sure why its running so well now...but life is good!!
[G1 Android Development] jaygajay:
What do you mean downgraded. You just posted that you had HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA100000). That's your SPL.
[G1 Android Development] openback:
I believe I was tired and going out of my mind, lol. It's now installed and running beautifully. I just hope it's more stable than the other ROMs I've been trying lately, but it seems great so far!
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
Hey C, are you still releasing a 2.0 update?

I was all set to enjoy my phone but it looks as though things are heating up again between your upcoming 2.0 and jacDrizzy's app (at least i think its an app, maybe another update?). Anyhow im going to hold out either for your 2.0 or whatever jac keeps alluding to, do you have any idea whats on the horizon for hero? Im just not sure what exactly im waiting for but i know somethings up so i dont want to get settled in with my phone just yet...thanks
[G1 Android Development] OFinch:
yea.. the same thing happend to me openback.. hopfully everythings good for you. keep up the great work with this build. Can't wait for the 2.0 either. btw, off topic question. How do you guys get your build to show up everytime you do a post? where do I write that at?
[G1 Android Development] bigballa:
hey first of all

thanks for all the amazing work

but heres a little request i hope will be possible

in your first couple of builds u had only some apps2sd

which left only like 35mb of internal space

the build ran super fast then

i kept that 1.2 build for as long as i know and i just recently upgraded to 1.4.x

and it has all apps2sd

which even on a class 6 card makes the phone slower

is there any way you could make it so only the less important ones are on the sd

i tried the lucid commands u included in the build but after doing a command my phone goes into a bootloop and i have to reformat and wipe and re flash all over again

thanks...
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
haha yea, no problem.
[G1 Android Development] bigballa:
thanks alot man

u friggin rock
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
need... to flash phone... It's been two days!!! TWO DAYS!!! I've never gone this long without flashing my phone... I feel like something is missing in my life... need... jacHEROski2.0... now...

btw, will the 2.0 come with multitouch zoom? :D pretty please.

EDIT: Belay that captain! Multitouch is already working! :D. Since it said that you still needed to fix multitouch, I never tried it out, but it worked in browser for me! YAY!
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Hahaha, crack addict. jk :)

I'm working on it, just released the other ROM which distracted me for a day.
[G1 Android Development] parrothd:
Found the issue, it's related to the number of widgets running on the desktop, and the number of shortcut/regular icons on the desktop, seems 2-3 widgets and 4-5 shortcuts is the sweet spot for me.
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
Bloody awesome. This puts the 2.63 rom from JAC to shame. I used that for 4 days and it was just horrible in performance. Very laggy.

I flashed this earlier today after reading about it and holy hell what a difference.

Thank you good sir, looking forward to 2.0 version.

I really should start to do some dev work for this, I have good ideas just really dont know where to start.

I really wonder how you guys "fix" apk's.

Greg.
[G1 Android Development] 51dusty:
anyone else having issues with auto-rotate? this is my first time testing jacheroski and it does not seem to do it...i didn't notice anything explicit about rotation in the first post either...something i should do?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
luck, skill, and magic.
[G1 Android Development] openback:
Dammit, I so wanted this ROM to work for me, but it has been very buggy. I'be gotten the HTC screen multiple times when on the home screen (once had to do with the weather widget, so I just removed it) and have had probably 8 restarted in 16 hours. It tends to happen when starting or using the messaging app, once in gmail, once while looking at the list of HTC widgets, and once while playing WordUp. I've also been experiencing dropped texts and have had one of my texts sent twice. Has this happened to anyone else? Any fixes?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
hmmm, is your linux-swap etc set up properly? Do you have a class 6 sdcard?
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
... he's being modest... its mostly skill and magic... heavy on the magic...
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
I've sent a text more than once, but that's only because I pressed the "send" button twice without letting it load the message the first time... useful for spamming, but bad if you've got a nervous twitch haha

Following skis advice,

To check if you have linux-swap set up correctly go to terminal and type:

#free

If you see any zeros, that could be why you're seeing the HTC Screen all the time when going back to the home screen. Personally, I haven't seen the HTC Screen once since using his ROM

(other than the first one after the set up that is)
[G1 Android Development] openback:
I definitely have a class 6 8GB and I set it up as in the first post. It all seems right:

Total used free shared buffers
Mem: 97908 95880 2028 0 68
Swap: 32120 18048 14072
Total: 120028 113928 16100

But that shouldn't cause dropped texts either way, no?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
no but it shouldn't be lagging either.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
I'm thinking too many widgets on homescreen?
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
In all honesty, i really would like to know what you guys use for tools.

I have coded on the source of 1.5 (the full source) to fix or make changes.

So i was thinking i can contribue "possibly" in some way. But meh, it seems you guys have this on lock down.

I would like to fix the issue with the camera and the whole auto rotate issue.
[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
MyTouch has "Safe mode"

Dont ask why or how I did it but after playing aroung with some Google apps in the Manage Apps in Applications setting and after a reboot I got "Safe mode" on the lower left corner of the phone and all my apps where gone only the stock ones remain.

After a reboot from safe mode everything reappeared. And "Safe mode" no longer shows up.

Lmao off sorry wrong thread!
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
hahaa I have never said this. But in all my time moding, cooking, and flashing roms this has never happened to me. I would be moderately worried.
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
Question: How do you choose a custom mp3 ringtone for text messages in 1.4C, tone picker and rings extended don't seem to work.

I also noticed that speed depends on how much r/w requests are getting shot to the sdcard. With the music app running, the phone is dog slow (music is on the sdcard) Since now it has to share the access to the card (swap and all).

I saw that in earlier builds you had some core apps on the phone rather than the sd card. I wonder if performance was increased if we can maintain the main core apps on the actual device and any additional apps to be thrown on to the sdcard.
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
Im also testing compcache on 1.4C right now ill tell you if the unit is much faster :)

That is in combination with existing swap since the author released a new version it seems to be working!

Changes i made to the a2sd.sh script:

if [ -e /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 ];
then
insmod /system/sd/xvmalloc.ko;
insmod /system/sd/ramzswap.ko backing_swap=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3;
busybox mknod /dev/ramzswap0 b 253 0;
echo 60 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness;
swapon /dev/ramzswap0;
fi;

You need to copy the two files from the zip located here to /system/sd. Edit the a2sd.sh script and enjoy.

Im not sure if it would be better to make a userinit.sh script on /system/sd/ and put these lines there and delete the swap lines from a2sd.sh. I guess either or would work.

THIS ONLY WORKS ON THE 2.6.29 CYANOGEN KERNEL!! As far as i know. Its the only one that has the lzo_compress/decompress modules built into the kernel.

Credit goes to dwang and nurre for this, this is their thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530107. Im just relaying what has worked for me!
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
can some1 confirm this is working please?

Also, how can I pull and modify a2sd to try this?

I did:

adb pull system/bin/a2sd.sh <location/a2sd> and it didn't work: does not exist

I did

adb shell

cp -r system/bin/a2sd.sh sdcard/a2sd said: no such file or dir:confused:

EDIT: nvm, should be a2sd not a2sd.sh:o

EDIT2: not working, I modded the a2sd as you stated and did

# cat /proc/ramzswap

nothing... not such file or dir:confused:
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
I think its better to not use your left over swap, after a while it seemed to have gotten slower.

Im going to try and run this without the swap on the sd, and change my line to:

insmod /system/sd/modules/ramzswap.ko disksize_kb=32000

Currently the default ramzswap size is 24mb.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
If you find it works much better I'll include it in my next release :):):):) And give you credit in the script!
[G1 Android Development] hypnostick:
When for the next release ?

I'm so happy , i love ur roms ^^ :p
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
Yeah avoid using the swap partition.

I would use the line i just had, and up the swapiness to 100.

The OS is fantastic this way :)
