The original 2.5 version without the wifi and superuser I felt was VERY fast. But once we added wifi and superuser back it went back to 2.4r speed. Which for me, was very laggy. I'm afraid to do 2.6 right now since I'm at work. I have flashed so many times this week I really havent USED the phone... flash after flash.... sigh....
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
2.6 is really fast for me, can flick between all 7 rosie screens without lag, and thats while using widgets on all 7 screens. i am going to try get a video of it running.

You have to wipe first
[G1 Android Development] Ted417:
haha... yeah... sorry for this n00b question but... do I have to wipe before I update from 2.4 to 2.5?...
[G1 Android Development] Lieu10ant:
look at the post above yours
[G1 Android Development] freeheel3r:
I just flashed 2.5 slowSD, but I still seem to have issues with sms. I apparently can't receive special SMS's -- dunno the name, but the kind that usually just brings up a popup, and doesn't save -- it just happens to be the kind my bank uses to login to e-banking, so it's kind of a big problem.

Any way of getting this back somehow?

Also, on the last version I used (2.3.4 or so), the phone would only receive every other sms, but this was before the message receiving process was made high-priority, so it may not be a problem anymore...well, I hope so at least.

if this has automatic apps to sd, why does it seem like my apps are being installed to the internal memory? everytime i add an app, my internal memory drops

force also after restart

currently I am on JACHero 2.4 update and whatever I try it keeps force closing after restart

- tried formatting sd card again

- tried wipe + update

- accepted market/gmail TOS before turning on swap

- tried without switching on swapper

when I wipe and start it works fine but when I restart the phone I get this error

message shown : com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly
[G1 Android Development] dbhatesyou:
because... the folders are symbolically linked making the phone thinking its running from internal while its external.. now before you ask another question go read on about android and linux and anything you can :B

Jac Hero 2.5

Running beautifully with almost no lag, only problem is syncing contacts & calendars. I can add a calendar event on Google, it'll sync to the phone, but not vice versa. Also no sync either way with contacts. Anyone else having this problem? I'm on Tmobile. I've tried manual syncing, restart, everything I can think of...

getting a bootloop with the new version..... back to cyan..
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but its been annoying the crap outta me and I finally fixed it: When using the default messaging app and you try to type a message, there is no auto-correct, but it works everywhere else. This is how I solved it:

I downloaded the MoDaCo 1.50 update, went into the zip and extracted the HTC_IME from the /data/app_s/ folder

Then, I pushed that over to the current build (adb push HTC_IME.apk /system/sd/app_s/)

After a mini-crash, the system came back and then I was able to type my messages with auto-correct.

Just throwing this out there in case anyone else is trying to figure out how to fix this problem.

Hi, I have aproblem with the 1.7r2 rom

I`m using my phone a lot on airplain mode and every time I open my phone to use it it opens me the emargency dialer it`s so annoying!

Can I disable this option somewhere????

Thank you

i suggest everybody try a 128mb swap partition and 90 swappiness editing the user.conf and make sure cc is turned off super fast no loading screens for last hour using it very fluid very smooth
[G1 Android Development] alpha22:
after installing, i left the phone for 1 hour to boot. it just froze at the htc dream logo and the battery wasn't even warm after a while. any ideas why?
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
It didn't work for me, in fact, now the keyboard doesn't show up at all, and I get a FC when trying to get to the Text/Locale settings.

edit: Now even pushing the original one from 1.7r2 doesn't work and gives me a FC in Text/Locale... :(
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
That's not true at all.

CompCache and Backing-Swap are enabled by default, but that's probably not the best setting.

You can do 2 things, turn off CC and Backing, and leave the swap off, then use Swapper, or you can use the built in linux-swap feature in user.conf.

I've had GREAT success turning them all off and using the Swapper program from the market with a swapfile instead of partition. As for size and swappiness, use a minimum of 90mb and 80 swappiness.
[G1 Android Development] sleepr:
so is this for the 32A or B?
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
Have you tried a long-press-hold on a text input field and selecting "input method" instead of trying to change it from Text and Locale?
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
I didn't try the long-press after I pushed the HTC_IME from MoDaCo, but I did a nandroid restore. I'll give it another try.
[G1 Android Development] mcarey66:
I've been lurking in the background for the last year trying out all of the ROM. I have always refrained from asking questions because I hate cluttered threads.

But I had to come out and say this new Hero update is rock solid. I have tried all of the hero ROMS that have come out so far and was never satisfied with the speed of them and as a result I have switched back to the other 1.5 roms.

I flashed over to this one last night and I'm more than impressed with it. The speed is perfect with the exception of getting a short loading message every now and then but so far it has worked great.

Anyone that is one the fence about this one should jump in!

strange problem

after "upgrading" from cyanemod to this hero mod.... my handy loops between hero and htc logo?!

please help
[G1 Android Development] bizz3d:
I just finished setting up my 8gb card class 6 card, but all I read was ext2/3 never ext4. Main post reads ext2/3 support but not 4. Anyway I decided to test it, and its working for me, but lag was still there. until i set my swappiness at 96 and now its faster. Im actually happy and cant wait to test it for work phone use.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Thanks!!!!!!!! :D
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Any ideas on what causes the FC on searching contacts and the keyboard prediction on SMS?
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
You shouldn't be getting a short loading message, should be smooth as ice. I'm assuming that you have a circa 96MB linux-swap set up. Next you should try turning off the compcache via the user.conf and then re-pushing it back over to /system/bin. After that, I haven't seen a single loading screen. Good luck.
[G1 Android Development] cduncan1:
"upgrading" from cyanemod - loops between hero and htc logo?!

Mine G1 has the same issue too..

I have three partitions on the SD card.

I did the 'repair ext file systems'

followed by a 'complete wipe'

then went to the console and followed the instruction :

To use compcache with linux swap

-set compcache=1

-set cc_backingswap_en=0

-set linux_swap_eanable=0

-set cc_disksize=32

-set cc_memlimit=0

-set linux_swap_en=1

But it then started looping between hero and htc logo?!

Just going to try reflashing but I hold little hope for this as a fix.

Thanks

Chris.D.
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
You need to remove all 3 partitions, then re-partition the card, then do upgrade_fs, then wipe and flsh the rom.
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
I don't think you're supposed to type the commands into the console, they're meant to be edited on your PC through the user.conf found in /system/bin and then pushed back over with the settings you want. Honestly though, you're better off without compcache for now, it seems to be running smoother without it. Just some basics first (forgive me if you've already done all this):

Format the ext2/3 with:

mount /system/sd

rm -rf /system/sd/* (You'll lose all your apps so you may want to back those up before running this command)

Repair Ext File Systems

Wipe (Alt+W)

In this order.

If that doesn't work, have you tried repartitioning your sdcard?

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

FAT32

Ext2 (~500MB)

Linux-Swap (~96MB)

In that order.

Lemme know if you've done all this and we'll see how it goes from there.
[G1 Android Development] cduncan1:
Thanks for your tips, I'm obviously more of a newbie that I though.

I had already deleted and recreated my partition when you posted.

Now boots correctly.

Just got to work out how to edit that file 'user.conf' but that is not for this thread. I'll find out tomorrow night.

Many thanks and good night.

Chris.

Swapper vs partition

Before I jump in -- Is there a conclusive answer as to whether there is any difference between using a dedicated swap partition vs. using a swap file with Swapper?

It'd be nice to use the app to be able to adjust size and swappiness easily on the fly...
[G1 Android Development] SG_Shadow:
....wipe and flash. That should fix your issues.

i bolded the modifications that you should do..

don't enable compcache + linux-swap together its actually too heavy cpu usage

try with ONLY linux-swap ( 90 swappiness ) and create a linux-swap partition of 96MB

???

.. Ok thanx!, But is that the reason its telling me that?
[G1 Android Development] xitaxuta:
actually no.. but why are you using the 1.6r2a and not the 1.7r2 which is a newer build?
[G1 Android Development] A|G:
...

...well because to me the latest is more like experimental..

.How good is it?
[G1 Android Development] xitaxuta:
didnt you read the posts lately??

1.7r2 has GREATLY IMPROVED the ROSIE and is a much newer hero based build 2.83xx
[G1 Android Development] A|G:

..Yeah i did but it more like a remix noh? how does it compare in speed to the last build? and can i just flash without wipe??
[G1 Android Development] xitaxuta:

[G1 Android Development] d0g:
Hmmm... pretty but useless?

So I just flashed it on MyTouch -- I did 3 partitions on 4GB card with a 96MB swap, and set the user.conf to swap & compcache with swappiness at 60.

But without even ANY fancy htc widgets on home, I see a 'htc' and 'loading...' message after going to ANY app -- and it take about 15 FIFTEEN seconds to load the home screen! This renders the phone practically useless.

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Can I check if the swap and cache 2 sd is working?

Everyone else seems to be getting better results. :(

It is quite gorgeous, however.

UPDATE: After re-booting, it's working MUCH faster! Sorry to disparage so early!

rename it to user.conf or download and extract the user.zip

reboot phone to recovery mode go to console

using adb push the user.conf to /system/bin

sampling rate

I've researched threads and found that some have underclocked to 384 and got smoother results... then doing more reading found that actually changing the sampling rate from 3000000 to 2000000 might actually be a better fix, any truth to this? The posts actually dated back to older roms, just curious if it still stands?
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
When underclocking fixes a problem it is because something on the software side is getting bogged down. It isn't efficient enough to keep up with the requests coming from the CPU. It's not fixing the bottleneck, it's just slowing the flow to match the bottleneck. Usually with these ROMs it has to do with memory management when that is the case. It's better to figure out a better way to use extended memory (swap, CC, etc.).
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
well i formated and reparted my SD and now i got this ROM working and i could say ITS AWESOME !! it works flawlessly .

rly its cool to disable compcache and backing_swap ? i saw that its by default, was gonna ask if its enabled xD then i saw it and edited the post, but rly it slows th phone ?

Moving from CyanogenMod to JACxHERO

Hi All,

I have been reading and searching for the last few days. I currently have Cyanogen 4.1.2.1 with backing swap.

I have been trying to figure out if there are going to be any gotchas that would come when I try to flash to JACxHERO.

Please correct me if I am wrong and please let me know if you can help me with my understanding of the process.

Currently I have:

-Rooted G1 via 1-click root method

-Cyan Recovery 1.4

-Cyan 4.1.2.1 ROM

- 3 partition SD fat32/ext3/linux_swap

-Userinit.sh and user.conf loaded to /system/sd for back swaping

It sems that all I need to do now to flash JACxHERO is install the latest radio and latest SPL but I have a question about flashing the radio. I currently have: 65.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I. The link here http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/ says I should have 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I.

It seems to me that the unly difference is 65 opposed to 62 and the letter U as opposed to H.

My questions are:

- Can I use my current radio to install JACxHERO or do I need the 62.50S.20.17H version?

- Is my radio a newer radio or older?

- Does the whole baseband matter or just that it is 2.22.19.26I?

- If my current radio is newer, will I brink my phone from flashing an older radio?

- Will the 1.33.2005 SPL work with my current radio?

Any help that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] amirnew:
thank you very much!

but just two more things!

where exectly i have to put the user.conf file?

and the second question is' wil it really fix the whole HTC screens i had?

because it seems to me that the 1.6r2 was working better...

thanX again!

[G1 Android Development] xitaxuta:
Where is your adb.exe located?
[G1 Android Development] magicman1987:
ive got the exact same versions as u, i think that is the latest radio and the spl will work fine, i have moved back and foward thourgh dozens of roms including this hero build, never had to reflash anything, just copy update.zip, (home+power) and update.

i found an older hero version of jac here to be very slow, i mite give this a shot tonight if i can be bothered.

you should be fine, you cant really brick your phone now its rooted, all you do is reflash a rom if needed.

i once thought i bricked my phone, i couldnt get access to the menus, i just reflashed the dreaimg file, and back to normal, ive also stopeed installations have way, batterys gone dead before fully updating and general f-ing around, havent bricked my phone so far, even with all the risks and scary roms i install...

should be fine, download and install!!

i love to facebook feature of hero the most, the ability to link your facebook to your contacts in your phone is great, along with all the widgets...

once more optimized i think this will be a fantastic rom for g1 users.

BUT NEEDS TO BE OPTIMIZED!

thanks

[G1 Android Development] xitaxuta:
yes you "should" be using a US Baseband if you have a T-Mobile G1 US..
