Download and flash

It's a patch to get multitouch in 1.8
[G1 Android Development] captnjagerbomb:
Now to keep this thread as on topic as possible ill ask my questions now..

By flash do you mean rename it update.zip, wipe and apply from sd card?

Or since its just an update is wiping not required?
[G1 Android Development] lucky 69:
just rename it update. and just flash it ! do not wipe!:D if you already are running 1.8 !
[G1 Android Development] postbus31:
Could you please explain how I do that on a 8GB SD-card?
[G1 Android Development] Faud:
1.5 and 1.6 install perfectly for me with this rom. For some reason when I try and install 1.7 or 1.8 I am thrown into a boot loop. Any ideas of why this would be? I have wiped, checked the ext as it says in post one, but each time I try to install 1.7 or 1.8 I have to revert back to 1.6.
[G1 Android Development] ChrisChavez:
Have a vid up and running of 1.8 running nice and smooooooooooth.... =D

[G1 Android Development] macetex:
Yeah man I actually saw your video and i flashed it. This is the fastest hero rom ever, it is super fast.
[G1 Android Development] jacsonmoore3:
try to reformat ur sd card thats what i do when that happen its sucks i know but thats only way i know..make sure you have fat32,ext,n linux swap
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
This is a very, very, well put together build!

great work JAC & CC very good work!!!
[G1 Android Development] mixer5911:
Haha this made me LOL
[G1 Android Development] opasha:
try this: go into recovery. then console. then do as follows:

enter

mount system

cd system

mount sd

cd sd

rm -r app_s

reboot recovery

then wipe, then flash.

if that doesn't work, then yes, like the guy above mentioned who tried to help you before me, you have to reformat your sd. before doing so, back up your entire sd onto your computer. good luck! :)
[G1 Android Development] jayb222:
It's nice but not the fastest. Check 1.5.1:

Let me know when Jacheroski beats that and I will flash.:cool:
[G1 Android Development] rpope904:
getting an error

Hey guys I am getting an error, E:Can't chown/mod /system/xbin... when trying to flash this rom, any ideas? Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Seeng as you have a class 2 card, what swap and swappiness are you using? I am trying to find one that doesn't get sticky. I am getting what other people are reporting, "weird lagginess".

I have seen these few bugs that weren't in 1.6

- its about 6 times slower to transition to the landscape view when selecting something then flipping the keyboard open

- LED is not working anymore

- Weird lags some times

- (already reported but) No auto correct feature in portrait mode, it works in the landscape keyboard.

- IDK if its my screen, but when I am scrolling at times it selects items when I just start to scroll

- Battery life is about 25% less than what I had in 1.6, maybe because of the 300mb swap and swappiness lol

The good I have seen is that I can now fill all 7 home spaces with widgets with little to no effect on the overall speed, its a bit more stable in some areas.
[G1 Android Development] Fictionles:
Has anyone noticed an occasional delay when receiving notifications (email, Gtalk messages) and the notification sound would play a few seconds later?

It doesn't happen every single time, but was curious to see if anyone else was experiencing it as well.

EDIT: I think my notification sounds are playing from the SDcard. Gonna change it and see if it helps.
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
yeah, I know but I can't change the first boot after fresh install. A fresh install is failing the "child sleeping test" at this time very badly.
[G1 Android Development] Pepe101:
i keep getting a notification saying removed sd card and my sd card isnt removed.....help plz.....my pics and ringtones are on there but i cant access them...
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
?

How is this one compared to the akirah's "HERO2 - Freedom of choice"?

Yes, I know that i could flash for myself and find out, but if its not too much to ask, can someone who has used both give their opinion.
[G1 Android Development] amirnew:
i think that this new scrolling between windows does not work good. it does not feel good as the normal scrolling and sometimes when you scroll

the widgets open the apps....

someone felt it too?

amir
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
So. Has any one done a speed comparison between Jac's and twisted yet?

So far the only app that seems to run as slow as the other builds is the browser.
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
I have that problem but its minor.

V
[G1 Android Development] danieljordanmaddux:
After the update.zip has installed, instead of home+power to reboot go into recovery console (alt+x) then:

# mount /system

# rm /system/media/boot.mp3

# recovery

home+power

or after the 2nd command do #reboot

that should do it.

Also for those looking for a fast user.conf setup; I've been running the setup attached to this post for around 1 week on other JACxHERO ROMs now with 1.8 and it is by far the best settings ive come up with. (Benchmarked w/ benchmark pi at 11837) On top of which it uses compcache with backing swap. I run my phone for days at a time without rebooting and also not seeing and slow-down over time. Hope this helps

For those who i know will ask, to swap to this setup first remove the .txt then in terminal or recovery console do:

# cp -f /sdcard/user.conf /system/bin

and reboot

I would love to see feedback on how it works for other people :D

EDIT I also have about 325 apps installed on my phone and have seen no loading screens yet.
[G1 Android Development] dills84:
wifi isnt working on MT3G, very fast for hero though. thanks.
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Whats your SD card class, and swap size?
[G1 Android Development] young3g:
No Multi Touch, Auto Rotate, Blue-tooth *

Is it just me or does everyone have these problems. I have not yet found a hero rom that supports Blue-tooth.

I mean like you can actually talk on your headset. Blue tooth turns on and it evens connects but u cant hear nothing !.

Please help :confused:

Bluetooth (Jabra BT8040 )

Mytouch 3G

Am on a mission to find the best and most stable Hero Rom.

Besides that CynogenMod 4.0.4 Rules .................
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
- Multitouch is fixed here in this thread.

*****HERO DOES NOT HAVE BLUETOOTH SUPPORT YET, THEY ARE WORKING ON IT

*****AUTOROTATE DOES NOT WORK ON HOMESCREEN ON HERO

:cool:
[G1 Android Development] chrisrj28:
There was a fix posted yesterday for the multi-touch, I believe around page 936ish. Just have to flash it, as far as auto rotate, mine does that just fine. And no Hero build has bluetooth working, it's a work in progress, be patient
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
I'm pretty sure Twisted has BT working (On the MT3G) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4365404&postcount=1

But no Hero rom has BT working on the G1. :cool:
[G1 Android Development] vr24:

is it a known issue that WIFI doesnt work on MT3G?
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
Another idea to speed up Rosie

JAC: Have you thought about building kernel with HZ=1000? HZ=1000 has extremely low latency but has been traditionally marred with a lot of overhead due to increased interrupt generation. But now it is saved by NOHZ.

I compared HZ=100 with HZ=1000 for a multi-threaded app (x264) which needed a lot of synchronization between threads, the performance gain was 25%. The interrupt count at idle did not go up because of NOHZ. All the overhead was compensated by the decreased latencies. The gains come from reduced poll and task sync time granularity. Min sleep granularity with HZ=100 is 10ms, which is huge for interactive devices.

I am not saying it will work wonders for Android, but I know there are multiple heavily multi-threaded apps (acore is one of them) on android. HZ=1000 combined with NO_HZ will provide low latency for a very responsive device, with very little added overhead and battery life.

Just an experiment which might be interesting.
[G1 Android Development] danieljordanmaddux:
Its a class 6 Transcend and my swap size is 128mb but for the user.conf i posted you would probably be best off with about a 64mb swap partition
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
best hero rom i ever tried, really v1.7r2 was perfect except that i got too many htc screens for whatever i do but in 1.8 i didnt have htc screens and its faster than 1.7 .

rly jac and cc thx for all

btw, and offtopic motorola has just presentd MOTO CLIQ w/Android MOTOBLUR UI . im gonna get one of those LOVE MOTOROLA .
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
On a class 2? I am running as fast as the Modcao ROM with 300 mb lol.

Hows battery life with that conf?
[G1 Android Development] ldf913:
never thought i would leave cyano-mods

This is the best hero Rom I have encountered... I have always been a cyano fan. his roms are top notch and fast as hell... but for hero this Rom I right around the corner.. this would be the first hero Rom I had on my g1 for more than a hour lol... until the next Rom come out from cyano I'm sticking with this kudos whoever help put this together :)
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
yup it's wayyy smooth... what are the best compcache settings anyone's found? is it these?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
YOU GUYS ARE IN FOR A TREAT TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BFS

MT

swap_free_notify on compcache fixed. FAST FAST FAST.
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
anyone found a way to get auto-spell in messages?

i flashed to 1.8 and quickly went back to 1.6r2a
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
awesome!!! what's MT and the whatever fixed on compcache?
[G1 Android Development] javacody:
MT == Multi Touch
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Oh and the other really annoying bug, is that when you are trying to add people in the People HTC widget, it FC's.

I love this rom, but I would love the People Widget to work aswell :P. I can live with out it but, still.

thanks alot bro great user.conf compilation. Is this yours or did u pull it from another build
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
oh wow lol thx
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
When When?? will it be full upload or just a patch? I'm so excited! I have been luvin this rom!!:D
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
I hope its a separate patch, then added to the rom build, because I have a crappy connection, and to update I had to borrow my dads at&t dongle for the ROM update.
[G1 Android Development] shaolinx:
i thought 1.8 already has BFS... and theres already a patch for multitouch
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
for a 32b i saw someone had a patch for wifi on one of the drizzy pages on the sapphire section
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Because you need to use one that ported for the Mytouch.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
It is a newer version of BFS, this BFS is bigger, faster, stronger, lol
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
how can i know if i have compcache enabled ? and how i can activate backing_swap if compcache is enabled ?
[G1 Android Development] danieljordanmaddux:
Its mine. I edited about 8 different setups and ran a new one every other day and that was the fastest one i could get and im actually more happy with it than any of the others. I also bumped up the min cpu frequency 1 step to cut down on the screen delay when unlocking and the issue of accidentally opening apps when scrolling
[G1 Android Development] oshizzle1991:
hella fast rom, but i cant access the Locale And Text. i get a force close EVERY TIME. all of the other settings work though.
[G1 Android Development] Ayerwin:
change swaptype from "compcache" to only"linux-swap" of user.conf in 1.7r2,you'll get none~

and waiting mt for 1.8~

and anyone knows what about attribute"sys_vm=1"or "0"of user.conf for hero's run?
[G1 Android Development] dcplaya:
The first post says I need

Baseband Version: 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I

SPL: 1.33.2005

I have a baseband version of 62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I on a T-Mobile USA myTouch 3G

Is it alright to flash that baseband and then that SPL to try this ROM?
[G1 Android Development] Ayerwin:
open user.conf and edit as below:

compcache_en=0

cc_backingswap_en=0

linux_swap_en=1
[G1 Android Development] asterix005:
that's for G1 only not for mt3g
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
It is exactly the same as mine except you changed the memlimit to 32MB. The min cpu is 245760, which is what I set it to normally, just not for this ROM. The disksize setting is meaningless when you run backing swap so change that makes no difference. It's cool that you are trying to come up with better settings but don't change 1 thing and pretend that you came up with the whole thing.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
That will not enable backing swap. Reverse the 1's and 0's to enable compcache with backing swap from what he said.
[G1 Android Development] Ayerwin:
reflash your ROM,and then don't uninstall your HTCinput, and don't cancel "tick" of "Touch Input",or it'll make corrupt.

and also if you need another inputmethod,just install it, but leave htcinput alone.
[G1 Android Development] Ayerwin:
sorry about that...i have a mistake, i just think he need only "linux-swap"for 1.7...sorry.sorry~
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I figured that you just read it the wrong way. Not a big deal as long as the guy knows what he needs to do.
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Oh for the no spelling correction, just turn it on in settings, I just did and I got it to work again. :cool:

EDIT: NM. . . . . .
[G1 Android Development] Ayerwin:
i think mincpu to 384 is better, but more bettery cost~

and Mike, may i have a question about what's different about sampling_rate 2000000 and 3000000, up_threshold=45 and 40?
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
The sampling rate determines how often the OS checks to see if the CPU needs to go up or down. It works with the up_threshold. If your sampling rate is 3000000 it will check every 3 seconds to see if it needs to adjust instead of 2. The up_threshold determins what CPU percent utilization to jump up to the next step. If it is too low, it will keep jumping until it reaches the max and you will have a delay when you first start using it. If it is too high it will not jump up fast enough and you will see a delay. I thought that a lower value, like 25 would work better but it didn't. 45 has given me the best results with my benchmarking.

[G1 Android Development] danieljordanmaddux:
Im sorry if that was how it seemed, but i dont take credit for other peoples work. If you did something ill give you the credit you deserve to get. Im not tryin to start **** and im not going to. End of story. If i knew you had a user.conf posted i guarauntee you i wouldve tried it before going through all the hard work i did to get it set to my likings. I just wanted to be nice and share it with others who might be having trouble finding a setup that they like. If i wouldve known you had the same setup posted somewhere on xda i would have posted the setup as yours. Again im sorry.

I respect the hard work everyone on these forums do. But don't criticize people and make claims that can't be proven or backed up. That's why we lose people like haykuro and I'm not going to be a part of causing those things to happen. So give credit where it is due. If I don't deserve credit then keep that opinion to yourself so these threads don't get so trashed up
[G1 Android Development] Ayerwin:
wow~it's a little deep and much technological~

okay,many thanks,Mike, i will choose 2s and 45 to my benchmark like u :D

thx,thx:D
[G1 Android Development] jasonmlit:
trying to copy that user.conf file, i get :

"cp: cannot create '/system/bin/user.conf' : Read-only file system"

any suggestions?

thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
It's cool. I don't want to have any beef with anyone. It just seemed like you were taking credit for changing one setting.

Just to help you out, I have done some testing with the memlimit at 32MB. In the long run it will slow down if you ever get it above 20MB in use. I had a hard time getting it over 16MB so you have to run it hard to get more than 18MB, the default setting.

When we get swap notify tonight, it may need to be even less than 18MB. The settings might need to change. swap free notify will get rid of old, stale data instead of keeping it around so there should be less need for a larger CC.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
type this

su

rwsystem

Then do the rest.
[G1 Android Development] danieljordanmaddux:

ya but now your multi touch doesnt work
[G1 Android Development] dills84:
also, after i did the madoco patch my MT3G seemed to lag much more. not sure why this would happen, but i repeatidly got loading screens
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
would the commands be once you mount

cp /sd/user.conf /system/bin/user.conf

i'm not quite sure if that would work?
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Ok, I need a little bit of help understanding what the update will do haha. CompCache and stuff??? What is it? I think I know what swap is, just like a place for ram to spill onto. What do I need to know :p, I used to run a linux box, but my mom had to use a web site that will never ever stop using active x. . .(MLXChange. . .real estate) and I had to put xp back. :confused::confused: I just need to grasp the concepts of these things.
[G1 Android Development] danieljordanmaddux:
I have to have. Mine that high running 300+ apps. Lol I did sh /system/bin/swap -s about every two hours to see how it was doing and the highest it ever got to was 27mb roughly when compressed. The original size was around 95mb so you can imagine why cc works better for me. My linux swap was constantly lagging bc and getting bogged down. Cant wait for that update though it gonna put cc over the top

Sorry replies are taking so long . Im on my G1 lol . You can email me if you wanna talk (danielmaddux76@gmail.

com . Id like to help some if you ever need anything. Ive just been lingering around the website and figuring out thing on my own. As ive figure out the harder you work to figure something out it sinks in . Im the one that hates to ask questions . Lol
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
To just get Chomp to work right? I dunno...I downloaded Chomp on my way to class tonight and was able to reply to two existing messages, however couldn't create a new message without getting a FC.

It can't be that this one app needs you to wipe your ext3 for it to work. How come other apps I've downloaded since last night (after updating to 1.8) work just fine (ie. Pandora, Facebook). There's gotta be another reason.
[G1 Android Development] jasonmlit:
thanks, worked perfect.

is anyone experiencing this problem.....for some reason i can be scrollin thru my phone and the screen dims low then goes to sleep mode real fast like even if i move the trackball to brighten the screen it just dims fast and then sleep mode....any help to stop that??
[G1 Android Development] danieljordanmaddux:
Do:

# rwsystem (as stated by miketaylor00)

# cp -f /sdcard/user.conf /system/bin

And then reboot for it to take effect and you should be good to go :D
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Damn, 300 apps is a lot. You might need more memory if a lot of them are running in the background. Feel free to add me. I keep my gmail up so people can ask me questions. I mostly do it for xROM but I'm helping out with JacHeroSki too now so hit me up if you want to talk

I get the same error when I try to reload 1.7

Anyone got any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
This didn't have anything to do with his question. If you're going to reply with comments like that please keep them to yourself. You are neither cool or funny.

To better answer your question:

It's always best to test the roms out for yourself. Its a funny thing these phones because I've installed Jac1.8 on three different phones and they all responded to it differently. Again testing is the best way to find your answer :)
[G1 Android Development] xitaxuta:
neither is drizzy :rolleyes:

i meant no offence to him.. just his not a dev .. and can't be compared with jac, cyrowski, cyanogen
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
How are you downloading the ROM? Usually what that means is there is some corruption with the update.zip file. Try to redownload it using a computer and then transfer it to your SDcard and reflash. Don't forget to wipe your a.. I mean phone and EXT2/3 :)
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
You need to wipe your phone. The data directory is messed up. Also redownload your installer to be safe.

Your phone is not bricked. Unless it is more useful to you as a paper weight than a phone it is not bricked at all. Just the fact that you can run the installer for 1.7 means that it isn't close to being bricked.
[G1 Android Development] Pepe101:
thx dude i guess i'll do that appreciate it
[G1 Android Development] gary.lavin:
Tried downloading from 2 different places and tried copying to SD 3 times, will try wipe
