http://coolpstuts.blogspot.com/2009/07/htc-hero-rom-video-tutorial.html

follow all steps and you gonna be okay :).

u may need to download a few things too
[G1 Android Development] dragon4000:
Thx for the rundown :D:D

I'll try it out in a while or a couple of days.. As I have a 2gig mem card right now...:( I'm patiently waiting for my 16gb card...;)
[G1 Android Development] bigslanki:
no problem once you do it a couple of times the code sticks to your brain..lol
[G1 Android Development] dragon4000:
Lol, I bet!! :D:D Btw, what are the benefits of having the linux-swap partition again?? :confused::pJust got it done on my 2gb card.This is what I have right now.. 1.3gb Fat32, 502mb ext3, and 32.1mb linux-swap...
[G1 Android Development] bigslanki:
from my understanding it can be used as the phones ram, so i think it can free up the phones actually internal ram, by moving files to the swap that are being used. after the apps are closed the memory if free again to pull another process. Im not 100percent sure that this is how it works. but just from my understanding of linux-swap
[G1 Android Development] dragon4000:
Ok, thx a lot!! :D:D So this way it should run a bit more smoother than before.. right??
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
"bit" is an understatement :D
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
Once you get stuck on the T-Mobile G1 Screen, just take out the battery, boot into recovery and flash the ROM of your choice (assuming you've partitioned your sdcard first ofc) and all should be well. You were doing well, being stuck at the G1 screen is a common occurrence.
[G1 Android Development] takaok:
why the superlight version have rosie
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
:confused:

After extensive flooding of the incoherent text on many websites, a witty user finally made a decent response:

"You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.:D

any doubt?
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
it doesn't have rosie...

LOL I saw this on wikipedia I believe. Crazy stuff :D
[G1 Android Development] Dyonas:
D'oh! It looks like I was on the last step but since I didn't know, panicked and ran back to stock firmware. Thanks for that link, I may give it another shot later.

At the risk of asking a stupid question, compared to stock firmware which is sluggish to me if I've used a few apps and go back to the home screen (open home) how does this compare? Is it the same, faster, slower? I'm only asking because that is the biggest annoyance for me with my G1. Scrolling isn't smooth when that happens and it feels very slow.
[G1 Android Development] BohicaBobby:
I just flashed the cyanogen rom and it works fine. I've used the various JF roms and never have a problem. Any other ideas why I'm getting this "low on space" message only when I try to use this one? I have the ext2 partition, I have rooted my phone. All I ever have to do is copy the file renamed to update.zip to the root of my SD card and then when I turn on the phone (using PWR and HOME), I hit ALT W to wipe and then ALT S to install the update. It always works fine until this rom. Anyone know why I would get this message when each partition has over 3 gig of space left on them?

??????:confused:
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
How much space do you get on sdcard +phone storage in the settings when you flash this rom?
[G1 Android Development] dragonranpu:
jachero rock

I Mostly read and make use of the resources all of you Dev. and members post, But I felt I had to replay that I am so loving the jachero. I am running the 2.73 on G1 right now and it is very good and fast.

I know from much reading that it is a known issue that the LED's do not work and that is am issue that is getting worked on. I did want to ask (I have my own ideas) why the LED's do not work. I am things because the rom is for a slightly different device and such the instructions in the firmware are a little different than for the G1.

NOw for the other question. IF I flash a new ROM onto the phone without wiping the apps from the EXT3 partition will the flash just overwrite the ones already there with the ones that come in the new ROM or will it create dups and cause problems?

One last thing Why was the HTCsync removed? I would like to make use of it. I know you can sync with gmail but a more direct connection to the PC would be more advantageous to me.

I realizes some of this has more than likely be covered in other posts and I apologize if this is an annoyance to anyone.
[G1 Android Development] ct25pf:
I flash the superlight version 2.7.3 and have rosie why???? :(
[G1 Android Development] BohicaBobby:
I'm going to flash it again and I'll go into Settings/SD Card and Phone Storage/ and I'll give you the exact amount. I just hate when I can't figure something out (I'm sure you can probably relate; hehe). Give me a little bit and I"ll post back. :)

[G1 Android Development] free-sidux:
Well, maybe you haven't cleared up your ext-partition?
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
lol add me on gtalk we can talk there. Don't want to clutter this thread. It's only been about 10 days already almost 400+ pages
[G1 Android Development] MRPARABK718Xx:
it dont matter how many apps yu use if yu have the requirements fot the rom then is gonna work fast and smooth on ur G1.

yu most have these though,

-root.

-cyanogen recovery 1.3.1

-radio 2.22. 19.26I

-haykuro SPL

3. Partions

1.FAT32

2.ext2/3

3.linux swap.
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
you need the hk spl not the hard spl this is important
[G1 Android Development] menzo44:
is anyone else having major sms/mms issues. I am running 2.7.3 full. Everything else is smooth as silk, but the messaging app wont even open. i have tried rebooting, reflashing and I even went back to last version and it started doing the same thing there, SO now Im back on 2.73 full and living with no messaging. I try to open it force closes, If i try to get to it through contacts it force closes, and if someone sends me one nothing happens. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
This has been discussed many many times. Please PLEASE reformat your ext and linux-swap partitions, wipe and reflash.
[G1 Android Development] Dyonas:
Forgive my ignorance, what's the difference between the hk spl and hard spl? All tutorials I've seen so far say to use the hard spl or "spl-signed.zip" which contains hboot.img and the meta folder.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
HK spl gives more room on the /system partition. Hard SPL - ~60k, HK SPL ~90k
[G1 Android Development] MRPARABK718Xx:
=0 yes yu r correct.
[G1 Android Development] MRPARABK718Xx:
edited it.

for correction :).

thanks r_dub
[G1 Android Development] Freddy2Fred:
so this rom, is it really smooth fast? and I meant really reall smooth fast? no laggy and buggyness?
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
Flash it and find out! I meant really flash it and find out!

The only way to know for sure because we don't know what your definition of fast is! :cool:
[G1 Android Development] whitespy9:
ITS ALIVE!!!! ITS ALIVE!!!!

Obviously this thread has run on and is filled with a lot garbage, but thanks is need where thanks is due.

THANK YOU!!!
[G1 Android Development] Dyonas:
I can only find links for the Hard SPL, where do you get HK SPL from? I tried to search the forum for "hk spl" and even just "hk" but it turned up no results, which is odd considering this thread mentioned it.

The one I have now is taken directly from

http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/

Last question too.. I think... with the Hero having no keyboard has the functionality been hacked in or ported from the G1 firmware somehow?
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
the one on that link is the one you need to get the extra storage
[G1 Android Development] abteer:
That's HK SPL. HayKuro
[G1 Android Development] Bzerk1:
is it just me or does 2.7.3 blackout alot? mines tends to black out if i go to the mms sometimes. and then it sometimes requires reflashing just to get it back up and running or else it gets stuck on black screen after loading g1 screen.

asking cause maybe i just installed wrong.
[G1 Android Development] hiroots:
if it does that. then its something wrong with your partions i guess. just follow the method on the op. it works perfect and fool proof. i hope. then after u make ur sd. wipe den flash again. maybe try dling slowsd instead.

also i was having problems with the weather app. so i dl 2.0 and that rom is super fast no lag nothing, even right after u press the last button in setup.
[G1 Android Development] MRPARABK718Xx:

das haykuros spl
[G1 Android Development] Dyonas:
Ah.. I thought maybe it was but my overly cautious brain wanted me to check. Thanks to all that pointed it out. I'm gonna give it a go in a few minutes, finally got everything I need except a free G1 spare :)
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Yeah this is a no brainer the Rom wouldn't have been released if the hard keyboard didn't work
[G1 Android Development] youneek:
I noticed on the last few versions of JACHero, each time I receive a text message my phone plays a different random ringtone. How can I stop that? Maybe I'm missing something but I have been up and down the settings and can't figure out how to turn off ringtones from text messages...
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
wonders whats the next update gonna include :P im anxious!
[G1 Android Development] ct25pf:
I'm sorry :p after the format all function very well :D tank's so much
[G1 Android Development] samethsom:
Anything in particular to make me want to move to this build?
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
still testing and sync so its gonna take 10-15 mins to test so im not sure
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
I just want to be the first to ask, do i need to format my ext2 partition, should i wipe before i flash, do i need the latest spl, how can i format my sd card without using paragon, where and what radio are you guys using, are all the apps moved over to the sdcard cause i only have x space left in my phone, can you put the ophone theme in the rom, ect..............

Sorry I just want to be the first to say that bluetooth is still not working, there is still some lag so i am going back to bla bla bla, the led light is still not fixed, the htc screen comes up when i hot the home button, the link to the spl is not working, this rom is good enough for daily use, you should try putting a flux capacitor on the next build, ect............
[G1 Android Development] rigamrts:
yeah i know how you feel i've got my new asus netbook sometimes it's slow as a dog but for the price it's a steal

my desktop just sits there collecting dust
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
mine rebooted when it was still downloading O.o but it started up agian in les than minute. so all good =D

possible faster with framework apk optimized.
[G1 Android Development] SolemnWishing:
Does this include original Launcher/ Home so we won't need to use the TouchFLO interface as the default home?
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
UGHHH im going to have to redownload...mine aborted i got a corrupted weather.apk file.. lame...
[G1 Android Development] stopjockingme@gmail.com:
That should also be included, in case others want to still have the hero theme but run on the Home launcher. 2.3.5 is laggy for some reason
[G1 Android Development] samethsom:
This is a fresh thread, all the question that you are asking have been answered, and covered, can you please search the forums before asking questions.
[G1 Android Development] WhAtSROoT?:
Ok quick question. I have cyans 3.6.4.1 on my phone. And I created an ext2 partition using the terminal emulator. Then I converted it to ext3 in the recovery console. Now iwant to check it before I flash this Rom. How do I go about checking it. Is there a command that I can type in terminal. Secondly I see that a lot of things have been moved to the sd card. How exactly do I put those on my sd card. In the partition I suppose. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] stelephonic:
german keyboard not working

hey guys

this is my first post- so lets say thank you for all the info on this forum. (!!!) this turned me from a n00b into a... a.... lesser n00b :cool:

anyway. sorry to report that the quertz keyboard on my g1 just does querty and there go all my fancy umlauts like öäüüüüüü!

gotta admit though that i am running the earlier version of this build - the drizzy one. if that makes a difference :confused:
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
I guess its not funny when you have to explain a joke. God, you have to spoon feed some people.
[G1 Android Development] Raziel07:
I'd like to know as well if anyone could verify..

When he said flux capacitor.....there's really no way it could have been serious lol
[G1 Android Development] kIdMuScLe:
was swapper removed in this rom? i don't have swapper installed...
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
Swapper is NOT included in this build (2.3.6)

Launcher is NOT included in this build

im getting load screens from time to time :/
[G1 Android Development] kIdMuScLe:
^^^

oh ok. so basically we got installed swapper ourselves if we want to?
[G1 Android Development] kkll70:
Yeah ... no swapper is defiantly something that should be added on the update log.

Without swapper home screen is a nightmare in hell.
[G1 Android Development] Raziel07:
Have you tried to set speed to 384? Maybe delete any apps/widgets you never use? I'm waiting to get some reviews before i flash back to a hero rom ;)
[G1 Android Development] southeastbeast:
2.3.6 Observations

Wiped *.* in EXT3, did not touch FAT32 partition. Not using swapper

+ HTTPS fixed

+ Landscape on screen keyboard fixed (no more green O)

+ New battery icon! I like it.

+ Transparency on unused portion of curtain when you pull it down, Linux-esque! Reminds me of BackTrack =)

+ Screenshot added!

- Wallpaper from memory card not working, tried 4 times with different pictures

- No swapper for folks who want it (not a big deal, I don't use it)

- Had to turn off WiFi to accept Market ToS

o Definitely feels more agile and responsive, especially in the settings menus.

o Less keyboard options (calibration and all auto correct options were truncated into one setting)

o Could not test H(HSDPA) vs 3(3G) icon because I don't have 3G at home, when I goto Seattle this weekend for a wedding I will drive around and test again if I see a 3 and an H.

Good job guys! Keep it up, you have got me HOOKED.

---------

I didn't miss any SMS messages in 2.3.5
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
Text still broken only got 2 of 4 when at desktop and 0 when opening a app.
[G1 Android Development] domanads2k4:
what about being able to take your own picture and use it as a wallpaper?
[G1 Android Development] youneek:
I just wiped and swapper isn't installed? I wiped ext and the phone before install. Is it installed for anyone else?
[G1 Android Development] abteer:
No it's not installed.
[G1 Android Development] jadams212510:
auto rotate not working for me.
[G1 Android Development] anddep:
I seen it in the app_s folder in the zip
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
not just messages albums did it to me too
[G1 Android Development] KennySmoothx:
Yeah I already let Drizzy aware of it.

-------

This build... 2.4.. "should be looked at as a baseline"(JAC).

The main purpose of this build is to get everything running stable. Which as almost everyone agrees that it indeed it is. The next step is to then work on bugs and known issues such as BT, Messaging(Times, Missed texts), auto-rotate, and a few others. So if something is bugged or not working right just know that it will get fixed, but all in due time.
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
yeah i tought it was just messagin but its actually everything
[G1 Android Development] emat:
No virtual keypad

i don't have the virtual keypad and when I go in settings/locale and text, I am experiencing a force close.

Anyone facing the same issue ?

However, I will keep it as the speed is amazing wrt previous ones.

Tks for the good work and keep it on
[G1 Android Development] uy4d:
Hey guys.. I have installed the new ROM.. but I didn't see any swapper apps at all.. does this means that I don't have to use the swapper anymore..? :O

the gr8 thing is I got 85MB free.. :D
[G1 Android Development] KennySmoothx:
Download swapper from Market if you dont initially have it
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
quick question, did anyone else have problems signing into your google account ? it was grayed out during the first startup im restarting it now to see if that will fix it.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Alright, I just tested it. Very, very fast. I had a couple of the problems that other people are having to. I still think jacHEROski may be more stable (maybe not faster) but more stable. :)

Great job guys, I'm diggin' through your boot.img right now and all I can say is damn...
[G1 Android Development] domanads2k4:
Slow SD is going up now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] Noel3903:
Keep it up guys..this rom is blazin fast in compare to others. Im running stock sdcard with full 2.4 and swap at 32/60. Ty for this awesome rom jac dizzy and all who worked on it.

(no loading screen at all WOOT!)
[G1 Android Development] spiderman_anhvu:
This noon, i've tested time-calling on my G1. From the caller heard the fist signal to when i heard the first ringtones is above 30 seconds. It's too long and sometimes, the caller will hang up because he think that there's nobody answers while i don't hear any tones. It's a big problem to me.

Could you show me how to solve it? Anybody hep!? :(
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
yes thank you, idk why i cant even get market to open it jus closes without warning...i cant even sign into google. The rom is perfect besides that

I CANT START ANY GOOGLE APPS ?????? ANY IDEAS WHY ???
[G1 Android Development] bobbybooshay:
sms mms

has anyone run into any sms or mms errors? as in not recieving them?
[G1 Android Development] dom2684:
i have that same issue:mad:
[G1 Android Development] solaresdonis:
I have not auto rotate and not swapper i think we have the same problem like the firs 2.3.6 maybe is corrupted.
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
Is another update coming soon?
[G1 Android Development] newjaruz:
The same happened to me but I'm not so sure about the random part. Its not so random but the sound effect for the text msg seems to be a ring tone because it is LOOOONG ... Well, I changed the settings by going to the messaging app main screen and hitting menu>settings>select sound(which should be 2nd to last choice)

and then you can select a new sound....

It was weird to me to because I'm used the the plain android way of changing the sound from the home screen settings... but in hero when you change the notification sound it does not apply to text messages for some odd reason.
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
does this support squashfs?
[G1 Android Development] frankd14321:
I just did the new 2.7.3 update and my mms, sms application won't launch, says it crashes.. anybody having this issue? I even tried to re-flash 2 times. Never had this issue before.
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
Im building a new kernel right now, going to be testing compcache and hopefully some bluetooth debugging/troubleshooting.

I gotta get a hold of shafty.

I just gotta figure out how to combine the modules cramfs with the zimage and then create the boot image...

Need to really get incontact with the devs lol. Im not sure if they are using any patches on the kernel :)
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
sms / mms are in the same app lol there not different apps

did you wipe your ext2 before flashing the update.
[G1 Android Development] mickeycobra04:
aaaaahh thanks man :) so i dont really need the linux swap partition, correct?
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
You don't need it but its recommended. Will speed things up.
[G1 Android Development] mickeycobra04:
thanks you.
[G1 Android Development] mickeycobra04:
one more question? is there anything i need to do/add to the partition?
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
yup just use cyanogen's latest recovery. and go into parted using this command in recovery console:

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

search 51dusty he has an amazing guide on partitioning your sdcard using CM's recovery.
[G1 Android Development] Dyonas:
I managed to get "2.7.3 Full" working but it's rather sluggish to be fair. I realise the Hero has a faster CPU and this might also be down to first time run applications so I'm gonna try it a day or so for now. If it's still the same I'll try the lightweight version. I like a lot of the HTC widgets and the ability to calibrate the touch screen (why isn't that in the standard?!) but I'm after speed / less slow down.

I'm not complaining about the work everyone has done getting this to work. I think that it's fantastic and something I could never do due to my lack of patience. The guides and help I've got so far say a lot about the whole scene too :)
[G1 Android Development] mickeycobra04:
im just gonna use paragon.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Don't think paragon supports creation of linux-swap
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
I went back to 2.73 and it is sluggish compared yo 2.71. Anothet thing we need to look at is a way to aut o add a space after choosing a word on word pre fill. It would make it so much faster when using vk keyboard. Apple has that.
[G1 Android Development] mickeycobra04:
yup, its got linux swap, and linux swap2.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
this isn't apple its HTC / Google

and we can't do anything about it, its the software of the VK developed by HTC who could or not change it.

so deal with it.....:rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
I used Paragon Pro to create my Linux Swap and it worked great! :cool:
[G1 Android Development] mykoe817:
I think it was mentioned here but not too sure. I remember reading terminal commands to enable auto screen rotate. I just followed the direction percisely and hero is installed and running smoothly however I am still a bit lost on changing swap to 32 since its currently stock at 30. And the auto screen rotate.

I also seem to get force closes when adding a weather widget. However that stopped once I selected current location instead of typing in a city.

any input?
[G1 Android Development] free-sidux:
cool, seems a linux-guru is starting to optimize things ;-)
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
please let us know of any progress with compcache, I would like to test too
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
I

I am dealing with it! Just thought it might. Be something our brilliant devs might be able to implement! I just throw out there.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
lol alright sorry if i came at you so harsh lol.
[G1 Android Development] rpmccormick:
HELP!

My phone is locked on the G1 screen. I have re-wiped and re-flashed multiple...

LOL, as I typed this it began booting.

FYI: 2.73 took over 5 min to get past the G1 screen on first boot (??? 2.63 never did that)

Anyway, nevermind.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Why would you even mention some apple **** here..:rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Guys Day two without my Ghero.. i feel like crying lol D:

And i should get another PVT board in the mail since the one i had was a pvt board right? i have a black g1 with a little white circle thing under the battery lol
[G1 Android Development] CPR123:
I'm running 2.71 since it came out and it has been really smooth until yesterday. Am getting lots of load screen coming from People, Weather and Browser. I can't figure out what's causing it. I haven't install any new apps except Google Voice last night because I got my invite.

Any ideas?

Fat32 7.5GB, 500MB ext3, linux-swap 32
