[G1 Android Development] rg8rc18:
Just wanted to let you know i successfully flashed 1.7r2 and to me its feeling better than 1.6r2a. It may even be faster or maybe just the same speed? I really can't tell anymore since both are fast! but really my phone's feeling brand new. Actually i was making a vid of me flashing but my camera ran out of battery. lol. Took 12 mins max to boot! from the g1 logo to the setup screen. So any of you think ur stuck on the htc just wait...

Thank you guys for this new hero rom. I'll donate promise when i get some $$$. eheh:D

EDITED: okay just testing it and YES IT IS FASTER!!!

clear pull down notification is back yay!!! ^_^

hmm.. am getting a lot of loading screens tho.. everytime i go back to the homescreen.
[G1 Android Development] Binary100100:
i think that i'm having the same issue.
[G1 Android Development] Cardnal:
wiped flashed...perfect. much faster than last one by far. very vey smooth. The only issue I have encountered so far is it is not updating/synching my contacts with google. Mail is good, but no contacts. has this happened to anyone else?
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
how similar does it run to cyanogen's? and also i was looking at this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=555624 and i'm wondering if it's the same speed?
[G1 Android Development] Prod1702:
Binary100100, jigdagod having close to the same problem as you thats pretty much what i am seeing in the bootloop i am in.
[G1 Android Development] hiroots:
nice update. i like it.
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
how fast? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=555624 similar to this anyone?
[G1 Android Development] feidao:
I am just waiting for the same answer.

anyone can tell me?

I flashed Mocato's rom yesterday , it is very fast.

so i want to wait for some feedback before flash 1.7r2.
[G1 Android Development] samygent:
same speed but modaco is a little more stable on my side, getting lot of reload with 1.7
[G1 Android Development] rg8rc18:
umm... I think as of now cyanogen's roms still faster than any Hero rom. Maybe within time it'll eventually get there tho. Its pretty close. I started rooting just last month and ive seen it improve every week. So I wouldn't be surpise by next month itll be as fast as cyanogens. Thanks to them wonderful Devs, Hero will become better and better. So maybe you can just try it coz i think its stable enough for daily use. and you'll probably be happy with it and if not then just go back to cyanogens.

and for the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=555624

haven't tried it sorry so i wouldn't know.

cyanogen is faster then any hero rom and cyanogen published about cupcake 1.6 being faster then 1.5 ( snappy and smooth he sayd)

ive changed the swappiness to 40(with 96mb swap) but im getting the htc loading screen a lot...the rest of the rom is moving fast. any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] Dror520:
I just changed the user.conf to linux swap instead of compcache and it's working better with no load screen which I had with compcache...

I have 96mb swap with 60 swappiness
[G1 Android Development] mramos1004:
aight i got it to work.. at first i got a boot loop so what i did is i removed the ext partition and the linux-swap and recreated them. then wipe and flash. and boom here goes 1.7r2. Only problem i found is TouchFLO force closed about 5 times. but everything else was great.. I can't find the IM app by the way..

[G1 Android Development] Godson1227:
Can't believe I'm about 2 flash this after experiencing the MoDaCo modifications lol this flashing has 2 stop lol gosh u devs work 2 hard. thanks tho it's greatly appreciated :D
[G1 Android Development] Godson1227:
adb shell free or su free :)
[G1 Android Development] triniscorpio:
the swap shows but im still seeing the loading screen way too often. have never experienced this since linux-swap began. think its just using the swap as a backup? because i dont have compcache set up(dont know how)
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
Anyone having issues revert the user.conf to linux-swap.

I will have a linux-swap based build up for comparison.
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
CC is setup automatically on boot with backing swap.

I'm going to put up a linux-swap version for comparison. Some seem to report that as faster. This was the first working backing swap CC commit so I figured i'd throw it in :)

[G1 Android Development] samygent:
ohhh forgot to do that , thx , rom is very damn fast now
[G1 Android Development] Godson1227:
can ppl comment about the speed of this...is it worth flashing from the MoDaCo custom Hero 1.5.1 because that's the fastest most stable hero I've had I can live w/o the clock flipping animations lol
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
Quick question before I wipe all my partitions. Does a nandroid also backup whats on your EXT3 if you have aps2sd set up? This would make going back tons easier if I need to.
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
second that.. anyone?
[G1 Android Development] Godson1227:
idk if it does or not maybe sum1 can answer that but this is what I do

Backing Ext2/3/4 through Adb

First of all your going to want to remount

so

you would go into a cmd promt

and enter

cd C:\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r3\tools

then your going to enter

adb remount

then once it says dameon running etc remount sucessful your going to enter the commands to pull(copy) your apps

adb pull /system/sd/app app

then depending on the amount of app your have it should take at least 2minutes, so after its finished your going to enter

adb pull /system/sd/app-private app-private

then to push(paste) your apps back to your g1 youll enter

adb push app /system/sd/app

wait for it to finish then enter

adb push app-private /system/sd/app-private

then when its finished enter(again)

adb shell reboot

then your finished your g1 should booot up with all apps/setting you had before on them
[G1 Android Development] kaotikking:
I use switchrom. sh for all my nandroid/ apps2sd backup needs it makes a copy of your app/app-private/dalvik-cache folders located on your ext2/3 partition and it will restore them as well

EDIT: it also will automatically restore nandroid back up as u run the script
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
This is hella-fast. I can't believe how well it is working.
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
whats recommended size for backing swap?
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
I have an issue with getting ANY xp machine to recognize my Google ION so switch rom is out of the question for now. Nobody knows if nandroid backs that up? Hmmm.
[G1 Android Development] SolemnWishing:
How come we don't have any updated Super Lites anymore..? Im still running 2.7.3 Super Lite, and pushing the launcher over results in a bootloop.
[G1 Android Development] kaotikking:
Sorry double post
[G1 Android Development] kaotikking:
@ mike .....would u b so kind as to benchmark this ROM.... linux swap vs compcache with back swap.. :)

I only ask cuz u have done great wonders for xROM
[G1 Android Development] TheInfekted:
already tried it the linux-swap made my phone do things that the cc wudnt such as i got the htc home button incident when i was in the browser for 5 minutes and the twitter widget wud be blank note that i hava 96 mb swap and swappiness of 60 im testing it with CC and Swap this time if all else fails im goin back to CC
[G1 Android Development] kaotikking:
Nandroid only does the actual device memory and if I'm not mistaken u don't NEED any PC for switchROM I flash between hero and xROM on the go
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I'll spend about an hour on it tonight. I'll see what I can do. I can't stay up all night again on this. I do plan to do some tweaking on this ROM at some point. But since I knew JAC was changing it up for this build I didn't want to waste the time before this one.
[G1 Android Development] strath:
Wow, Fast!

However, my pop3 accounts don't connect.

Anyone have pop3 mail setup and working?

I get "pop3-login: Aborted login" on the mail server.
[G1 Android Development] kaotikking:
U ran 60 swappiness for both cc and Linux swap??.... and IMO I won't use a swappiness of less then 70 on a hero Rom I'm a heavy browser (my G1 is my only connect to the web) and I listen to music almost 24/7... I have yet to see a loading screen and the only lag I get is when I get a text and I do get ALL my texts

im very sorry to ask this noobish questtion but how do i enable linux-swap with terminal?

thanks.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Modify the user.conf and then copy it to your sdcard. You can follow the directions in my signature for xROM. Just use your user.conf instead of mine.
[G1 Android Development] kaotikking:
don't quote me on it but I think it was removed because it was one of many memory HOGS on the hero ROM.... devs correct me if I am wrong?
[G1 Android Development] TheInfekted:
O it makes sense but its o so very annoying since ive gone atleast 2months with hero
[G1 Android Development] EZ14U2NV:
yeah i agree... the flipping clock is a must! if not does anyone know if the standard sense-ui flip-clock takes up less/more resources than the weather widgets flip-clock! if it takes more ill just use the weather widgets flip-clock since the sense-ui doesnt flip anymore ;-(

I have a bug where the messages in my messaging app (the standard one) are not loading. I click on the name, the app opens up, but the screen where the messages usually load just had a "loading..." on it even after several minutes. I know it should be working cuz they loaded initially after I flashed the ROM, but now, its not anymore. Anyone else get this problem or know the solution for it?

EDIT: Also, I can send messages, use the menu, configure the settings and what not, just the past messages aren't loading.

[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Miketaylor00 user.conf

If anyone is interested, I modified this user.conf to work with this build. It showed a slight improvement over the stock settings. There is not as much of an improvment as there is with AOSP ROMs. I will try to tweak this ROM as much as I can when I have more time. For now, you can use my default settings if you would like.

I installed 1.7r2 and I use the Italian language. Unfortunately, the auto completion does not suggest T9 accented characters. For example, instead of "c'é" suggests "c'e" :( Version 1.6r2b still works correctly.

missing keyboard prediction

flashed w/ 1.7r2. Fast ROM.

I can't seem to get the keyboard prediction as I type to work. I did the repair/wipe before migrating from 1.6 to 1.7. I tried changing the Locale & Text setting. Is this one of the optimization done to this ROM? Any suggestions of how to get it back. Mucho Gracias.

EDIT:OK.. it appears it is only in SMS. Other places work fine (like gmail). Must be by designed. Not bad. I can get used to that.

[G1 Android Development] zdan:
After flashing I restored my sms messages using backup for root and had the exact same symptoms as you do.

I tried deleting all the messages but I still got the loading on sms.

Finally I just reflashed from scratch (deleted and repartitioned) but didn't restore the messages with the back up app this time and it's OK so far.

did you use backup for root?
[G1 Android Development] jroid:
for some reason, I don't like this hero. idk it just seems dead in my opinion.. yea it is a lil faster than usual, BUT I still get lag and i get load screens coming from the browser. also, rosie just doesn't feel "fluid".. like it doesn't flow. the flip clock doesn't flip, idk it just seems dead. Going back to xrom for now I really like that build alot. I'll come back to hero when drizzy releases his.

question about Radio and SPL

Hi,

I have few doubts/questions before I want start with JACxHEROSkiv1.7r2 ROM, maybe someone could point me to right direction?

I have ADP1, and on my phone is written:

Baseband Version: 62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I

On the 1st post of this thread it is written that I have to have proper Radio and link for getting it. The link brings be up:

Baseband Version: 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I

So everything else looks the the except that instead of letter H where by me is U instead. Is it still safe to flash to JACxHEROSkiv1.7r2 with current radio I have or should I still better update radio to H version before?

And another question is SPL related - If I have ADP1, do I still need to flash SPL as well (to the one, pointed by link in 1st post) before flashing the ROM? As the developer phone is already "open-minded" enough and accepts custom roms by default, do I really still need to flash it? Flashing to CyanogenMod v4.0.4 worked like a charm without touching SPL at all...

Thanks for help community!
[G1 Android Development] keemyb:
Oh yeah, Loving this new update!!!

I really Like 1.7r2 Now.

Tip for people who are experienced lots of Force closes, and Home and apps list taking forever to load,

Use linux-swap again instead of Compcache, Just edit your user.conf in system/bin, and trust me, you'll notice a huge difference like me,

1.7r2 is now running faster than 1.5r2, but I cant really say much, as I've had it for just less than a day.

My messages are running fine, tried it out with a couple friends, and phonecall pickup time is SLIGHTY (yeah slighty) faster.

Is any getting full LED's? As in a colour apart from green? I kinda miss my purple and orange lights, but I cant really say that's a major downside

I really hope linux-swap gets the default next time, but I doubt JAC will change it just for a noob like me.

Attached below is my user.conf, with compcache disabled, linux-swap enabled at 30 swapiness, just push to system/bin after you rename to user.conf

This is what you type in on terminal, assuming that your user.conf is in the root of your sd

rwsystem

cp /sdcard/user.conf /system/bin/user.conf

EDIT: Second to the guy who thinks we should have a new thread (but he should wait till 2.0, and better still we should have a format on how to comment with specific area, if anyone gets me)

[G1 Android Development] mygti02:
how do you enable swap and turn CC off?
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
You need to edit it in the user.conf found under /system/bin and then push it over or place it in a zip, resign it and flash it over from the recovery screen
[G1 Android Development] Jeffreybcam:

[G1 Android Development] xREVOx:
user.conf for linux swap and other changes

for everyone who wants linux swap, download the user.txt, rename it to user.conf and push it to /system/bin/user.conf

via terminal on jac1.7r2

assuming user.conf is on your sdcard root

su

rwsystem

cp /sdcard/user.conf /system/bin/user.conf

if you don't understand how to use adb or copy a file to your sdcard root, please search.

this will enable linux swap and with a swapiness of 30.

fastest hero rom for me at least, i think this is the fastest rom compare to the rom i flashed b4.

It run very smooth, even i scroll the "All Programs" it still very smooth. I only can say this is the rom i m looking for.

[G1 Android Development] javacody:
The biggest problem I'm seeing is with the SMS app. When I exit from it, I almost always see the HTC screen for several seconds.

Also, when I get MMS attachments, they show up as a slideshow? WTF? I can't even view the image. If I hit pause fast enough, I can save it to the downloads dir on sd, but that is a pain.

I know this whole SMS app thing isn't the fault of the devs here, it's coming from HTC. If I can't even use basic phone functionality, then all the fancy whirlagigs on the phone don't mean diddly to me. What are they smoking?
[G1 Android Development] sleepymonk:

[G1 Android Development] xREVOx:
seriously? go flash a stable cyanogen or go back to the rooted stock g1 software from enomther.

hero roms are all experimental. you try @ your own discretion. don't like it, just move on and keep your neg comments to yourself...

to address your loading of rosie constantly, i uploaded a user.txt file to replace your current user.conf to enable linux swap instead of cc. this should help.

i'm sure you'll find something else to complain about after.
