Here's one for you all...

Have you figured out how to get yahoo mail to work with Hero yet?

As in, setting it up in the email client app.

I cannot seem to get it working at all in the email app. Even using the manual settings and such.

Yahoo allows Tmobile customers to link their email accounts to their phones, no charge. Under any standard Tmobile build ROM its just a matter of steps to setting it up.

Under an ADP build ROM you have to do it manually and here are the instructions:

1. open up email

2. tap next

3. enter email address and password

4. hit manual setup

5. tap ok when the free yahoo! mail accounts only work over t-mobile wireless networks. yahoo! mail plus users should configure POP settings manually. message appears.

6. tap IMAP account.

7. from incoming server settings, set the following.

8. IMAP Server Field: imap.mail.yahoo.com

9. port: 143 (by default)

10. security type: TLS (if available)

11. scroll down and select next.

12. The device searches for incoming server info

13. from outgoing server settings, set the following

14. SMTP server field: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com

15. port: 25

16. security type: TLS (if available)

17. scroll down and select next

18. the device searches for outgoing server info

19. note that account options display and allow you to select how foten to check for email, set notifications, and check default setting account.

20. enter the account a name

21. hit done

After you do that your email is linked and sync'd to your phone with ease.

I, for the life of me, cannot figure out how to get it working with a Hero ROM. One difference, for sure, is under manual settings on any other build you have TLS and TLS (if available) as security settings. Under the Hero ROM you only have TLS.

Any help??

Arent you able to update your Ext2 to ext3 with a recovery console command that update_fs?
[G1 Android Development] Lou2serious:
Put the rom you want to flash on one sdcard and the spl on the other, flash spl reboot, it will stick at the T-mobile screen!! pull battery reboot to recovery remove sd and put the one in that has the rom and flash it.

Goodluck

after i flash 2.4 during the setup should i allow swapper to run and what r the following steps that i should take to optimized my phone?
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
i press deny, and then once ive downloaded apps and i have my widgets set up i enable swapper. the only optimization i know of is minimizing widgets and maybe use an overclocking app...
[G1 Android Development] rickyuknowme:
thankx man
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Yeah, WiFi https browsing works, the problem is on EDGE/3G which if one is out and about is what one will most likely be using.

@michagol2, I haven't tried Opera to be honest, but I know it blows. Are you browsing https sites over EDGE/3G with it?
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
You can also remove widgets you won't use. I pretty much remove all of them except for Clock, Music, Search and Settings. All others, gone.

LOADING SCREEN - Loading screen after using album

I am getting loading screen every time I visit album application

1. From home select album (10 large JPEG images)

2. Select an image zoom-in zoom-out using multi touch for about 10 seconds

3. Hit back to reach home screen

4. Load screen :(
[G1 Android Development] zackmpls:
That would suck. You're the whiniest nerd on the internet.

Hit back button

NO LOAD SCREEN! :cool:

What is your current set up? :confused:

the ONLY time i get a loadscreen on v3r2 is when im in albums and get back to homescreen OR if i try to change the wallpaper.

OKAY IVE GOT A SERIOUS QUESTION: i thought i read either in this thread OR in drizzys tweets that the youtube on this ROM had HighQuality enabled by default. my videos, NONE, that i watch through the youtube app, are in HQ. there is nothing in the youtube anywhere (i.e. in settings when you hit menu on the list of vids screen) that allows videos to be be played in HQ.

i mention this as a concern because i honestly didnt even know you COULD run youtube HQ vids on the g1 until i flash to Cyanogens 3.9.5 ROM a few days a ago cuz the changelog said youtube video choppiness fixed from 3.9.4. it was bad in 3.9.4. indeed so i flashed and then i messed with the settings and found the watch in HQ setting. the videos looked so good! (and i use the youtube app more now because when im using my phone but someone is trying to get my attention i have been pulling up a youtube app and showing them some cool or wierd vid and most people forget wtf they were talking about in the first place to bother me). :D

wheres it at in this ROM if its not downloading my vids in HQ by default like i thought i read it did? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
When your in the Youtube app, play a video and hit the Menu button, then click More, and you should see "Watch in normal quality" if you're on Wifi (I don't have 3G) implicating that your watching the video in HQ. :cool:
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
From JAC's Twitter:

http://twitter.com/justanotherdev
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
right! BUT so... HQ youtube is NOT available in this rom when running just 3G correct?
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
I think so (Heard someone mention it) but I can't confirm because I don't have 3G! :o

I can't wait for this! I love how I can finally use protected apps and widgets now.
[G1 Android Development] ckrest:
Is there going to be anymore "rosie free" hero build's optimized or are they done with now? The only reason people use the Roger's build is the integrated exchange support built ontop of a stable platform. The Hero build without Rosie could easily be better than the roger's. Especially with those sweet app's built in (peeps, the alarm clock which includes stopwatch, timer, etc in a beautiful UI, and of course the incredible exchange/active sync mail/calendar/contacts eye candy)

PLEASE say yes.
[G1 Android Development] ThR1LL:
I've been trying to figure this out for a while. How do I sync a shared calender on my gmail account on a hero build? I'm able to add calendars on cupcake but I can't seem to figure it out on Hero.
[G1 Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
Flashed about 6 hours ago to V3r2

Loaded flawlessly, I only wiped my Ext3 partiton in Console and applied the any zip from Cyan's recovery.

All works well so far except:

1. internal memory went from 79mb free to 56mb free after installing apps. I have since rebooted 2 times but this still remains - therefore are apps going to internal memory or SD?

2. using the 'people' widget on the homescreen seems to show the correct photos, however if you go into call log or try and send a meesage to one the photos are mixed up?

3. I get the HTC load screen now and again when exiting from some apps, happened about 3 times so far, but I'll live with that.

4. The shift key and function key have no effect when using the hard keyboard? I can't seem to get capitol letters or accents e.g £ sign above the 'r'.

I can confirm that protected and paid apps load perfectly, and NON HTC widgets can also be used.

Good job, and we're almost there!
[G1 Android Development] mmace:
not been through the 500 pages but I searched "mms" and nothing came up. I have a few issues with this ROM

1) MMS's don't send or receive. No error messages etc, just looks like it sends but other person never receives or if they send to me I get nothing at all

2) WiFi doesn't work, it says "turning off" all the time, if I tick the box it greys out and then comes back unticked with "turning off" still underneath

3) Babbler (facebook app) doesn't work, I use this all day, every day. It never asks to log in, just sits there with an empty feed

4) Whenever I come out of an app or any settings to the homescreen I get the htc logo followed by "loading" for up to a minute

I wiped my ext2 partition before flashing.
[G1 Android Development] jmdrizen:
Hey mmace,

These points are in the thread, and recently too...

WiFi/Bluetooth is still a work in progress... as is the LED notification

Babbler, works fine here, have you tried uninstalling, restarting then installing again?

The loading screen happens here too, but it's still a very responsive ROM compared with previous, I've not had it for a minute, normally about 5-10seconds.... but it does seem longer at times (when I want to make a call, seems forever, but that's just the impatiance in me!) - What class of memory card do you have?

Re the MMS, I've just noticed this also, just got one sent to me but it's blank... think there is some talk of it, but I can't remember... I'm going to read through the last few pages and see.
[G1 Android Development] mmace:
thanks for the quick reply!

no idea of the class of the card, it was one I had lying around, will order a new, fast one. Tried reinstalling babbler but doesn't help. I wonder if it's because it's the paid for version?
[G1 Android Development] GEN3RIC:
With the 3 partitions created on the sd card, can somebody explain to me exactly where the read/write speed comes into play?

I bought one of those 16GB Sandisk cards the second they came out without knowing I'd be using it for a swap. It's a class 2, and I get about 3-4mb/s out of it while transferring files onto it, but outside of that I'm not really sure on its performance.

i ask because I'm experience absolutely abysmal performance with this ROM -- major UI delays to do anything after and idle period, such as simply scrolling the home screen left or right or opening a program. Then after about 5-10 seconds it kicks in and seems to be OKAY speeds. This screams SWAP to me. Which card should I buy? I see class 6 cards have a HUGE range of performance.
[G1 Android Development] BlackVariant:
So how will V1.1 differ from the ROM Drizzy released last night? Twitter seems to be down so I can't see JAC's comments on it.

Also, I keep seeing a lot of people complaining about the APS2SD not working. I've followed the directions to a 'T', so it should be enabled as it is automatic, right? How do you check?

Finally, is anybody experiencing issues with the clocks. All the clocks with the second hand seem laggy and the flip clock (the one I want to use) doesn't seem to stay up to date. Every time I go to the home screen it starts flipping to correct itself even if I had been on the home screen less than a minute ago. I assume that once the ROM is completely up to speed this should go away, right?

Thanks for the great ROM Drizzy and JAC!
[G1 Android Development] alexdancer2:
dont forget you have to upgrade you ext2 to ext3

you can do this in recovery console by typing upgrade_fs
[G1 Android Development] ellopr:
People WHY is so difficult to FOLLOW instructions. So many people complain of having force close and loading screens and normally if you FLASH the CORRECT WAY you won't run into this problems. Apart you will help the developers to know the REAL problems instead of the ones you just created by not following instructions (by the way these are DRIZZY instructions not mine).

1. Go to recovery mode (home+on buttons)

2. WIPE your phone internal memory (4th option in recovery mode)

3. Go to console, mount you ext2 or ext3 partition and DELETE everything there.

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

cd /system/sd

ls (to see if the app folder are there and you mounted the ext partition correctly)

rm -rf *

ls (to see is it is empty)

reboot

4. Enter recovery mode again

5. Repair your ext2 or ext3 partition.

6. WIPE AGAIN

7. Flash you Update.zip

It only takes 3 minutes or less, is not difficult and you will minimize the chance to run in to problems related to bad flashing.

People lets work together to help the developer find the real problems and fix them, let stop *****ing about the same things over and over again. :-p
[G1 Android Development] alexdancer2:
ok the flip clock always flips when you move from one screen to another that is just the animation it has
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Im using JACxHEROv1.0 with a class 2 16GB card and I have to say I'm experiencing hardly any lag. Occasionally it will happen when I'm doing something (ie web browsing or playing a game) and I receive a call. I'm sure if I had a class 6 I wouldn't get the small ammout of lag I do get, But I cannot source a cheap and reliably genuine class 6 here in the UK.
[G1 Android Development] GEN3RIC:
I'll be honest, I struggle to get a firm grasp on this stuff because I'm a .NET dev, and hardly understand the way things are done with Linux based OSs. Can you clue me in why I need to upgrade to ext3? Speed? Stability?

Thanks

I'm excellent at following directions, the problem is that for new people (to xda-developers), not all information is up to date or easily found. You know where it is, because you've obviously put a lot of time into this board. I mean, come on, these ROM release threads grow to 500+ pages within 2 days. It's very intimidating for someone to come into this arena and be expected to know how to find stuff.

They say SEARCH, but we don't even know what terms to search on. Thankfully I'm getting past that initial hurdle.. I've spent literally days reading on here trying to filter out the garbage posts from the helpful ones just to save you guys from YET ANOTHER "stupid question".

Regardless, thanks for the tutorial there. I intend to put it to use.
[G1 Android Development] alexdancer2:
diffrence between ext2 and ext3

Ext3 filesystem is nothing but next version of ext2 filesystem with journaling support. Ext3 has been structurally implemented same as ext2 so they have same data structures. The most important difference between Ext2 and Ext3 is that

Ext3 supports journaling which allows fast recovery from disk problems. You also get reliability and a better performance with ext3. Ext3 is designed to take care of both metadata and data.

basically more reliable and can recover data at a faster rate hope that answers your question if not let me know
[G1 Android Development] BlackVariant:
Really? Even the hour numbers? Mine will show, say "7:30" then flip to the correct time, "8:31". Sorta annoying. Wonder what those guys at HTC were thinking when they designed that!

As for partitioning, I'm a straight up noob, but I followed the instructions in the "Easiest How To's" thread, and everything worked great! Though I'm still wondering if the APS2SD is working properly, but that is mainly due to all the people complaining.

As long as you carefully read the instructions, it's pretty hard to mess things up!
[G1 Android Development] Tomb77:
I agree somewhat with this. for us that have followed this and drizzy's old thread this is apparent but not for newer people. can the "here's what I did" form the thread be put on the first post here? Just a thought. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] alexdancer2:
yeah that is exactly what it does!!
[G1 Android Development] GEN3RIC:
Yeah. I've noticed that the devs pour ALL their free time into their particular ROM, and then when it comes to communicating what the user should be doing, they're pretty vague and sometimes rude and evasive. I can't expect much other than that, I know how annoying it is to have to lower yourself to a newbie's level to explain why things are the way they are.

A definitive how-to exists that basically handles this for the dev, but it's hardly every linked to and a newb literally needs to stumble upon this information because everybody expects everybody to know everything. :)

Going to fix my partition and flash with the updated rom now... :)
[G1 Android Development] jmdrizen:
I agree with this, my C6 card flies with JACxHERO... occasionally I get the "loading" especially after viewing calendar. but it's still great!
[G1 Android Development] Stormer:
Last rom is really much faster then previous ... But i can confirm that my internal memory is now down to 62mb (after reboot) so I think apps2sd doesn't work... no other problems.. no loading screens etc here
[G1 Android Development] alexdancer2:
are you clearing out your cache because that will eat up internal memory???

my apps to sd works just fine
[G1 Android Development] Zarboz:
how do you wipe cache without formatting data as well?

other than that i cant tell much of a difference yet between this and drizzy 2.8 ..... although my internal memory (probably due to cache) has decreased from 77-43

pretty lame
[G1 Android Development] Tomb77:
It is a ratio. you guys can check your ext size and clearing cache is pretty basic unless I am missing something here. I think a lot of texts can do it too. go to manage applications or use move cache to clear cache.
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
the data partition is still being used by things like contacts, messages, email, app settings, dalvik-cache, so it will still fill up, dont worry about it until it actually warns you that its full as it wont affect speed
[G1 Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
I understand what you're saying, however when using a Cyan ROM I had at one point - 306 apps with 70mb free. It never went down......

I have 102 apps with 50mb free this time, when I had a fully clean install I had over 72mb free, therefore I question if the Apps to SD is working. As my point is I don't have any messages, mails or others after a clean install.
[G1 Android Development] tonymoreno23:
from adb

adb shell

mount system/sd/dalvik-cache

rm -r /system/sd/dalvik-cache*
[G1 Android Development] CPR123:
Clear your browser, market, mail and market cache and then check your memory. If the appsdtosd wasn't working you wouldn't be able to install 102 apps without running low on memory.

Never compare Cupake build against Hero.... difference is like night and day and you know that.

I'm running V3r2 quite smooth!

[G1 Android Development] q426669:
I'm no Developer, but perhaps your GPS chip is messed up? Also, the UK english could be buggy. Try switching to a different ROM (non-hero) and test your GPS. If it works there, then it's probably something to do with getting the correct APN info for your location. If it does not work, then your GPS might be dead. I don't know why that would affect your timezone however!
[G1 Android Development] Tomb77:
Lol! waiting 1.1 htc screen now.

just wait for comments before you flash it. where's the change log?

switch...stuck...

The JACxHEROv1.1 is without doubt the best rom i have ever flashed to my G1, ony one thing causes me a problem,

the wi-fi switch, if i turn it off my G1 deactivates wi-fi but displays the mesage ' turning off,,,'

in order to turn wi-fi on again i have to reboot device..

other than that its ace !!!

Thanks DEVs/

me> http://twitter.com/terminal7
[G1 Android Development] Dyonas:
Yeah I had considered that but before rooting the phone it was accurate using network location to within a few streets of my location, that's why I don't understand it. If I use Cyanogen's ROM then it's closer, same area at least, but a good 4km further away than I've seen before. Using full GPS is fine which would normally point to it using the wrong APN like you say but it's listed as "general.t-mobile.uk" although it is the only APN listed. It isn't a deal breaker, if I need something local I can switch on the GPS chip, it's just an annoyance. I'd have considered it like the BT and LED issue but I haven't seen anyone else mention this problem.
[G1 Android Development] Dyonas:
I know how you feel! Last night I'd just finished setting up Drizzy's v3 and started seeing posts about v3r2. Now v1.1 here? I've seen some say it's the same as v3r2 but if that's the case why have two separate releases? There has to be some difference apart from the name.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
EDIT: if you go to 1.1 from v3r2 your an idiot lol.

No diff watsoever :p
[G1 Android Development] rivryan:
i know, i have v3r2 lol, but what i don't get is why there's so many versions out right now =X drizzy, jacxhero, v3r2....ugh. I'm using v3r2 and it feels fast and stable, no problems yet, wonder what 1.1 has.

Edit: @Shaquiel

alright just asking.
[G1 Android Development] dr3as:
Would have loved a changelog, 3r2 keeps rebooting my phone for no reason, suddenly when i use it it goes black, and it restarts itself, sometimes it even loops. Battery out and in, and all is good again.
[G1 Android Development] srt4mn:
Just flashed 1.1 from V3r2 and I don't know if it's just me, but 1.1 feels noticeably faster (start-up, home screen swiping, etc.)

EDIT:

Yep, definitely a lot faster! Thanks JAC!
[G1 Android Development] Tomb77:
Just wait, I'm sure there will be one. I impersonally like not having to wait. Thanks guys
[G1 Android Development] Tomb77:
I agree. I was afraid because I noticed a lag in set up at first but man I would say that this is faster. It think snappier may be another word too.
[G1 Android Development] GEN3RIC:
OK so I was a noob and didn't check the build repository and installed from the link.. (1.0). So I started flashing with 1.1 and finished and now I'm in a boot loop. Damn!
[G1 Android Development] Tomb77:
did you notice something that you should have done but didn't? what was it? Just make sure you clear your ext, wipe, repair ext, then flash.
