i need confirmation on the sms, i know it said sms put on highest priority, but does it work? does it recieve 100% of it?

performance

as far as i tested it performance is quite good for a hero rom - compared to twisted....

only lag is from quitting apps into homescreen

market: 40 secs

terminal: 50 secs

sh-terminal: 60 secs

:(

i have swapped 30mb/20 swappiness on sdcard.

overclocked 527 mhz

widgets: that funny clock with weather, twitter, favs, little calendar

using 5 screens

i know, i know

but: what good is it to have hero without some of its niiiiceee widgets?
[G1 Android Development] PsychoKilla666:
alright, awesome, that was easy, now do we know if this still works considering all the recent tweaks to a2sd etc, also could we run Rosie apps from linux swap and Market apps from ext3? or some mix of the two? That would be amazing
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
your swapper settings are all f'd up make sure you delete old swapper settings and use 32 swap and 10 swappiness!
[G1 Android Development] PsychoKilla666:
i thought the new sweet spot was 32/60 lol

i forgot where I read that, but I am sure you are right, I just read that soemwhere
[G1 Android Development] stelephonic:
swapper settings

thank you, you are right - what i meant is 32/20

ive set it to swappiness 10 now...

checking if it works better
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
1) The script works fine for me. 2) No you can not run Rosie or any of its widgets from the linux swap partition. 3) Market apps from ext3 is called apps2sd and that has been enabled since the first official Hero ROM.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoKilla666:
o ok great, so if i run this script to enable linux swap, what uses the linux swap, thanks a lot

JacHEROski uses linux swap and its smooth

The Dream uses the linux swap as a substitute for RAM.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoKilla666:
Nice, that makes a lot of sense, thanks for clearing up

Should we make it as big as possible then? 288? I heard 32 is perfect tho...
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
32 MB is perfect anything larger will cause the system to lag no matter how high you set the swappiness.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoKilla666:
ya, thats what I heard, thanks

one last question, when i made the partition i had to enter a higher MBit number to reach 32 MByte, is that correct or should i just set 32 MBit and forget about the discrepancy?
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
Set it as 32 it will show up as 31 or 30, but that's ok though.

Now it's time for me to sleep. Good night.

Hi guys new here bought an XDA phone with this rom on it long story short I damaged SD unplugging phone so I formatted new card downloaded rom renamed zip and my phone is stuck on the Hero screen and keeps repeating. Mind you that is the only file on the disk. I am going through the paces correctly. Can anyone help me I am new to this It was Rom 2.3.5 any help would be great

one response from forumite:

did you also create the ext2/3 partition on the SD card? JACHero uses apps2sd by default, pretty sure the lack of an ext2 partition could cause a boot loop

any Ideas I am new to development.

Auto Updater

Ey Guys, due the many number of updates, the idea of an auto-updater like jf roms sounds very nice, don't you think?:)
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
or partial updates that only update the changed parts of the rom so we dont have to wipe all the time

[G1 Android Development] sullitf:
Here's a question I haven't seen asked yet so hopefully I'm not rehashing something answered 50 times elsewhere.

With using a linux-swap partion, does this avoid the problem of mounting your phone while swap is on?

I stupidly corrupted my sdcard once when forgetting to turn swapper off prior to mounting my phone on my laptop and had to redo everything. Is this no longer an issue?
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
JAC,

i got my fat32 set and ext2

but couldn't get linux-swap to get parted hmm

[G1 Android Development] electrolemon:
So does anyone know how to format an 2GB SD Card with the linux-swap?
[G1 Android Development] sullitf:
same exact process, the only thing that changes is the numbers you use to specify the partition sizes
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
Does anybody tried the speaker with some loud music ? cuz it seems to be really distorted .
[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
just start from the fact that every gb is 1024 MB....

grab a calculator if u wanna b exact about the amount of space u want to asign

or use paragorn partition manager w/ a card reader.... much easier
[G1 Android Development] electrolemon:
I figured as much, but I figured someone else had done it already, and I wouldn't have to figure out the numbers on my own.
[G1 Android Development] xREVOx:
johnny the #'s that jac used for the 8GB sd card aren't going to apply to EVERYONE. Each memory card is different.

determine your largest ending range we will call it x, follow the math below

a = x - 512

b = x - 32

do

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 a

mkpartfs primary ext2 a b

mkpartfs primary linux-swap b x

for me my upper range was only 7970...

hope this helps.

just because you have an 8GB memory card doesn't mean it's going to be 8 x 1024 as your size in megabytes. with memory cards, if it's close to 8GB they will call it 8gb.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
thanks i finally understood it haha thanks!
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
will it cause any problems if i dont use all of the space on my card? i had errors with the original 8gb instructions so i did

fat32 0 to 7468

ext2 7468 to 7968

linux/swap 7968 to 8000

so my total used was 8000...thanks
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
I did it still will not change

EDIT: NVM I fixed it
[G1 Android Development] jigdagod:
Man these guys are great. Thanks for all the hard work, about to back up and flash right now.
[G1 Android Development] xREVOx:
no it will not cause any problems... the unused space will remain unpartitioned. it's only few megs, if you can live without it then you'll be fine.

[G1 Android Development] xREVOx:
You'll be fine. when mounting your sdcard in windows, only the fat32 partition is mounted.

swapper default setting was /sdcard/swapfile for the swap file... which when the sdcard was mounted, would not be accessible.
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Okay thanks let me know if that changes it if not maybe try in echo "100"
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
i appreciate the reply. i checked on gparted and my ext3 is like 366, my linux swap is about 30 and i have 10 unused so i think ill be fine...

Hmmm and your sure you typed it right?
[G1 Android Development] byebyeloser:
The point of linux-swap is to make it faster so if you think its fast enough i believe you can just have your fat32 and ext2/3 and it will than give you swapper. I am not 100% sure on that. The worst that can happen is you will need to give your card linux-swap . not that hard.
[G1 Android Development] I7oobie:

[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
if you create the partitions it will mount swap on boot
[G1 Android Development] I7oobie:
As far as I've read, you have to create the 3 partitions. The build will move apps to the ext3(2) and the linux swapper to the linux-swap partition. I could be wrong, but that's what I did.
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:

the build will use the linux-swapp partition as additional space for memory..

paragorn gives you the option of creating linux-swap and linux-swap 2 as well, althought the 1 u need is the linux-swap...

chek the size ur choosing for the swap. i had a little issue making mine, apparently it has to be untill certaing size depending on the sd capacity
[G1 Android Development] solaresdonis:
Where i can find this file?
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
Word?

Maybe I should put it on tonight then... but I am a little confused on the partitioning bit. I can use APPS2SD right now to partition my 8GB card correct? I have a class 2 card BTW, which is sorry, I know, but I can use the Slow_SD version with no probs I'm guessing.

Ok, So I format my 8GB card, run APPS2SD right now, flash the new SPL (already got the new radio), move the JACHero 2.63 to the card (rename it to update.zip), put the battery back in the phone, go to recovery and flash the new ROM. Right?
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
you need linux swap for 2.63 to be fully functional...please download cyanogens 1.31 and partitoin through recovery..otherwise partition like this

FAT32 the rest

EXT3 500MB (approx)

linux-swap 32MB (approx)

EDIT:im sure edwins post below will work too just make sure you add the linux-swap partition
[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
Woah.... hold ur horses cowboy...

this is what i did before flashing (WARNING: you will have to set everithyng up again, unless you nandroid, i didn't but that's me)

this is for the stock G1 sandisk SD

1. delete all the partitions on my sd

2. created a FAT 32 partition - 462.7 MB

3. created a EXT3 partition - 439.2 MB

4. created a LINUX-SWAP partition - 66.7 MB (works for me!)

5. copy the rom to sd root (FAT 32) and rename to update.zip

6. boot in recovery ( Home + Power )

7. wipe

8. apply update

9. reboot

Quote from first post.

"Formatting you SDcard

You only need to do this once folks..if you already have 3 partitions including linux-swap move to step 2

You need Recovery image 1.31 to do this folks!http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=523558

To format card SD card with linux-swap WARNING!!! this will reformat you entire SD card!!

You can use the recovery console and parted to format SDcards with 1.31 folks, no more going through hassles you have the tools on you G1!...here is an example of how to do this in recovery console using parted

Example for 8GB card (specific value's may be slightly different use print to verify your total SDcard size~!

Reboot and enter recovery

Enter console

#parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

#print (to verfiy we know what size card we are dealing with, the details should be straight forward)

rm 1

rm 2

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7584

mkpartfs primary ext2 7584 8127

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 8127 8159

#print (to verify we have the 3 partitions)

Example for my 4GB card

#parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

#print (to verfiy we know what size card we are dealing with, the details should be straight forward)

rm 1

rm 2

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 3420

mkpartfs primary ext2 3420 3932

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 3932-3964

"End?" you need to place the last value for the linux swap eg.3964 for my 4GB card

#print (to verify we have the 3 partitions)

Next we need to "quit" parted and upgrade our ext2 partition to ext3

#upgrade_fs

Swap value is set to 30 currently, you can change this by modifying the "echo" value for swappiness in the a2sd.sh script."
