mmmh. i was @cyanogen today but i'm not sure what of the 100 things i tried when i got back.

so i might flash cyanogen, rm 1, 2, 3 with parted, do the partitions again and try reflash. might be worth it indeed. i'll let you now (;
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
2.63 doesnt use swapper.apk. It automatically mounts linux-swap at boot if you have it...are you sure your on 2.63 and that you formatted your cards because you shoulndt have swapper.apk
[G1 Android Development] instechgainza:
the best

Here's the actual footage of current jachero build opening some major application..quite fast and stable for me with 3 partition..waiting for other important update..thanks to jac and the rest of hardworking devs that making this possible.....

[G1 Android Development] Cypsteel:
Thank you guys...I was using 2.62 :(

I will reflash...At least I can stop banging my head against the wall :)

Does that mean I no longer need and EXT3 partition? Since it will use the linux-swap?

Running Rom Lightning with NO probs whatsover.

Only Time i need to overclock is when im about woop some ass in killer instinct or Streets of rage on snesoid and gensoid lol Great Job. Loving Rom Lightning :cool:
[G1 Android Development] smnnekho:
didnt work either. i'm afraid i have to go back to cyanogen until something with a2sd is changed - more a less without a phone the last 2 days because of my flashing-spree (-;

i hope i'll be back @ jacs soon.
[G1 Android Development] Mastershake101:
ok so im confused....every time i go into parted and do the #print command or the mkpartfs command.....it says unrecognized disk label and wont let partition anything
[G1 Android Development] big nu:
WOooo hoo

To everyone who took part in making this ROM happen thank you for all your hard work and dedication, ever since i first touched this ROM back when haykuro dropped it, i was floored by its UI yet disappointed by its function. But thanks to all the dev's involved in this it has came along leaps and bounds even sd support via 1.3.1 recovery w/ the Gparted function is a life saver ive been going through sdcards like toilet paper..lol now i can repair them through gparted thanks again this has been a long yet educational process that is well worth it..

Thanks a million!!!
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
you still need it for apps to sd. the 3rd partition is for swap

https problem again?

Well I didn't have any problems re-partitioning my sdcard and flashing the rom. Its running quick and smooth, the only problem I seem to be having is it won't connect to https again. it does with wifi but not over 3G. I've read though the thread trying to see if anyone else has the problem but its mostly about trying to partition the sdcard. Anyway I was courious if anyone else is having this problem and if anyone knows how to fix it. I searched for a fix and was unsuccessfull finding anything but talk about it being fixed in the last release.
[G1 Android Development] dilfatx:
This new 2.63 looks nice.. but why are ppl saying its workable?

I'm having issues removing the widgets from the home screens.. they won't come off ..

Also

Doesn't matter what menu I'm in or what program I'm running..I press the back space or Home button and will expect a 10 or more wait till the phone catches up (will have the spiral arrow going in circles or get the HTC black out screen)

Is there a trim down version of 2.63 as in no widgets? I have read that there is but can't find the link.
[G1 Android Development] dilfatx:
I take that back about the widgets.. restarted the phone twice and now i'm able to remove the widgets..it runs smoother with less freezing..

Very well done work..

cyanogen to JAC?? thats right

I have been a long time cyanogen supported and still am by all means. But I figured while cyan has been on a break (just a few days so far) I would give JAC a try once again...now in the past I tried JAC w/o swap and I was somewhat disappointed I have to say. HTC loading screens all the time...but now . . . . .

WOW!

That's all I have to say really...I parted my class 4 4gb as card with a 32mg swap and this thing is smoking for a Hero ROM. Absolutely amazes me that I am still using it. Let me say this...it is useable now as a day to day phone. Now if I had a class 6 as I'm sure I would be even more blown away!

I have to say thanks to JAC, Drizzy, Twisted, Cyanogen, Haykuro, and everyone else who have made this possible...now I know we can still improve it with BT, LEDs, and further optimizations.

Thanks again!
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
I actually the rom runs better the longer its been running. I have little lag, and still see the htc screen when coming from an app that i have been running for a while. this is a small annoyance when compared to the speed of this rom. These guys have worked some harry potter magic on this build.
[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone knows if editing one of the apks in the build, like framework-res, rosie, or htc-resources files, would make the odex optimization useless.

Like if I changed some of the images in there would the file need to be re odexed? And if so, what would be the easiest way to do so?

Thanks. I know I asked this before, but I'm still unsure about the answer.:p

[G1 Android Development] VGPOP:
Dumb question....

How can you change the weather widget location? (The one in the home page with current time)

The current location (which I cannot delete somehow) is Gotha, Germany.

I am in Orlando, FL.

I select weather widget, and hit MENU and the delete function is grayed out. I cannot delete it.

I already added Orlando, FL. But it's my secondary location, not my primary (Current).

I don't want to know weather in Gotha, Germany

Anyone else have this problem? Solution?
[G1 Android Development] sweetandsour:
just go tap the weather ...and longpress the other cities and just delete and remove them
[G1 Android Development] VGPOP:
I already deleted the other cities (when you hit MENU, the Delete option is available and you can delete those)

It's the primary one (Gotha, Germany), the one showing in home page that it cannot be deleted. (Delete option is grayed out)

And what do you mean longpress?

Longpress where?
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:
has anyone tried mms, mine doesnt seem to work at all.
[G1 Android Development] lamario:
Go into weather, and press the plus icon to add orlando, fl. After its saved, press menu and choose rearrange. Move orlando to the top. You can now leave it as is, or delete gotha.
[G1 Android Development] ariex:
mine seems to be working fine even mms i have no issue and this rom is by far the best i ever flashed its very fast almost no lag at all.

btw does anyone had issue with the battery? it seems my g1 eats a little more after i flash this rom.
[G1 Android Development] VGPOP:
Lol.

I forgot to mention that. The rearrange option is also grayed out.

I added another city (Aachen, Germany) to see if I could rearrange it, but when it was available the only two cities to rearrange were Orlando, FL and Aachen, Germany.

The current city is not listed.

And this is a problem with this new version of this ROM. You could rearrange all cities (including your current one) with the previous ROM. (Hero 2.5)
[G1 Android Development] johnp888:
2.63 seems quick and responsive. However I've had 2 random reboots already. Compared to 2.61 the differences would be MT and cyanogen's kernel. Hopefully JAC will resolve this. Otherwise getting better and better, waiting on BT!
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:
can some one PM me, and help me test out my MMS?
[G1 Android Development] htcclay:
I cant find a answer searching... and the other post just for parted has no one answering.

When setting up the sd in parted...

When I set up fat32 to the numbers in the first post everything goes fine.

When I try the ext2 it says 8127 is out side the block...? Error.?

Any thoughts?

[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
Well all went well till today u.u i played with Gameboid and when going to Home Screens it shows me the HTC Logo and then a Loading pic, then i played Sims 3 and again the loading screen, sent some sms and loading screen :S im tired of this loading screens .
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
you have to find out the total space on the sdcard first before doing anything...

so type "print" without the number sign in front of it, to get the total space...

then get a calculator and start subtracting...

use about 500mb for your ext2 partition

and sub the 64mb for the linux swap

the big number will be the fat32 of course...
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
Im guessing you have an 8gb card? have you tried adjusting the numbers yet? I ended up having 10mb left over, which is fine. Im not sure why but it worked when i dialed back the totals a bit...just a thought
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
battery life has improved for me since JACHero 2.3.3 with the OLD kernel my phone lasted like only 5 hours.

with 2.63 it lasted me a good 8 hrs from 6am - 2pm had work from then.

youll be fine with an extra battery, or just use a car charge when you bring your g1 wit you cause i know peeps be having a car and they always be drivin lol

its fine for me now.
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
just got this rom set up on my G1 with the linux swap.. .and this is very nice.. might have to make this my daily driver...

fast, no lag, no htc screens.. bout to finish setting up everything else like browser.. test a few things..

also make a nandroid backup of previous rom you were using just incase you wanna go back !!!! ..

cyanogen 1.3.1 recovery restores it for you automatically.. makes things very easy to go back to a stable point at the last minute!!!
[G1 Android Development] electrolemon:
So I think I did something wrong, as my Hero still lags a bit. I've installed the linux swap, ext, and fat32 partitions, but i don't know if there's a swap file in there, since I never manually put one there.

Does the phone automatically create a swap file once I've formatted my SD card, or am I supposed to do something after that, like installing Swapper and placing the swap file in the linux swap partition?
[G1 Android Development] KennySmoothx:
2.63 has given me the folllowing

0 Loading screens(Except the very first setup)

0 Lag time

0 Problems switching from portrait to landscape (No lag what so ever)

0 Missed SMS's

0 Missed calls

0 Complaints

and 1 happy mofo ;)

This rom right here is amazing the only thing keeping it from being perfect is the damn bluetooth! but wow amazing none-the-less
[G1 Android Development] sullitf:
I explained how to find the exact numbers for your card a few pages back, but here's the gist of it. Cards are different so it's best to do the math yourself, my 8GB card ended up being a bit smaller than the example on the first page.

# parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

# (parted) print

"print" will show you the specs for your card, should be pretty self explanatory. It will tell you the total # of MB for your card. From there do the math. Keep in mind the three mkpartfs commands are in this format...

# (parted) mkpartfs primary (fat32,ext2,linux-swap) <start> <finish>

Its easiest to work backwards to get the numbers. If you want a 500MB ext2 and 32MB swap...

fat32 always starts at 0. To find the finish block, Total MB - 500MB - 32MB

ext2 starts where the fat32 ended, i.e. use the same # from the fat32's finish. To find the finish block, ext2's start + 500MB.

linux-swap starts where the ext2 ended, i.e. use the same # from the ext2's finish. To find the finish block, linux-swap's start + 32MB.

If you want different size partitions just factor that in, use different numbers for the 500MB and 32MB and it should still work out.

The error you got is because your card has fewer blocks than you are trying to partition to, if you look at the total size from the "print" command it will be bigger than the "finish" block that you were trying to use.
[G1 Android Development] electrolemon:
Also, which of these ROMs am I supposed to be using? Because I see multiple 2.6.3s. Is it DrizzyJAC2.3.6.zip, DrizzyJAC2.3.6r2.zip,or just JACHero2.63.zip?
[G1 Android Development] sullitf:
yes, it should be automatic. If you have the partition it will use it. You can go into terminal and do the following to check.

$ su
# free

This will show you the different memory allocations in your phone, as long as the swap isn't shown as 0 then it worked fine.

Similarly, you can check in Swapper, just make sure you only click Get Info or whatever that button is labeled as. Don't turn on Swapper as you already have a swap partition up and running.
[G1 Android Development] djdeviance:
Yeah I get no load screens at all with all pages running full page HTC Widgets. Only problem I've ran into is photo album widget not working.
[G1 Android Development] electrolemon:
How is everyone getting no lag? Because I get a bit of lag on almost everything, even with the overclock widget going. Am I not supposed to have that running?

As a matter of fact, a lot of things lag for me. Landscape to portrait lags, when I open the keyboard it lags- maybe I've got the settings configured incorrectly, or something? Anyone wanna help me troubleshoot?
[G1 Android Development] jaygajay:
Remove the clock widget from the home screen and add it again and when it comes to the screen to choose which city u are in u can add Orlando, FL to the list and then select it or select Current City and let ur GPS do the work for you. If u choose Current City then you should open the Maps app and get a GPS Fix on your location so that it can find which city ur in.
[G1 Android Development] KennySmoothx:
I just tried my photo album widget and it worked fine.. a reflash should probably fix that problem.. The first time I flashed everything on my phone would connect to the internet except the gmail syncing.. so I reflashed and it worked after that.
[G1 Android Development] dbhatesyou:
yea im surprised it did.. and glad also.. awesome. now if jac can finish what he wants for this app im making he can release another posible build.
[G1 Android Development] VGPOP:
Thanks!

I didn't think of this. Even though it's not the current city, at least I have Orlando, FL. GPS is not working. It says service temporarily unavailable.

Thanks!

[G1 Android Development] big nu:
whats up bro?

Hey i had a question maybe you can answer.. I would like to put the HTC walls back in to the gallery in stead of pulling them from my sd card,, im currently running JACHero 2.63 and he only has the one wall in the gallery, is there a way to push the original htc walls back into the gallery? w/ out having to unpackage the ROM, i dont mind losing a few mb's..
[G1 Android Development] big nu:
what you can do is type (parted) "quit"

then #recovery

then start all over and follow the instructions on the op carefully..
[G1 Android Development] jaygajay:
Dont think it is supported with the Daproy kernel that is included with 2.63. It is supported with Cyanogen's kernel i believe.
[G1 Android Development] frankd14321:
Hey,

That didn't do anything.

Maybe I need to explain better.

What happend was I have a 1GB SD and I only made 2 partitions instead of 3.

I am missing the linux swap one. So when I am in parted and type print it shows two current partitions. Is there a way to just wipe the SD card? Or delete the last partition I made?
[G1 Android Development] lamario:
The phone handles current city based on location data. You cant manually set current city unless you follow the aforementioned steps. You have to set the closest. I'm in gibsonton,fl, but I cant search that, it doesnt come up. But location services will display it on the widgets for me.

[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
if you are in recovery console and have <parted> prompt, just type rm 1 then enter, then rm 2 then enter, that should format them. really just follow the instructions again because it formats everything in the instructions...
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
i hope you get an answer to this. with apps to sd and 84mb free im not sure why they arent included, im still thinking it must be a performance issue because it certainly isnt a memory issue anymore...
[G1 Android Development] MotherMayI:
i was just curious, the details for the build 2.63 doesnt say that the old mms.apk is there to fix the sms issues. is that already assumed at this point that the issue is fixed? im asking cuz im preparing to install 2.63 but i dont want sms/mms issues because that is the primary use of my phone XD lol thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] electrolemon:
What is Rosie.apk? Can I delete it, or is it critical? Or is it just the UI? If I were to delete it, would I lose the Hero UI from? Is it what's keeping my phone so slow?

Sorry for being so inquisitive, but my phone is running a lot slower than other peoples' at times. Also, TouchFLO. What is it, what does it do, and can I delete it?
[G1 Android Development] vagamente:
Looks like My 2.63 can't receive a lot of sms... Anyone elese?
[G1 Android Development] draco007:
where have u been?
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
dont delete those files

if your phone isnt running well, reformat your entire card (all 3 partitions) then wipe, then flash, the build has incredible potential, im having no problems, its running astonishingly well
[G1 Android Development] TheArtiszan:
Justanothercrowd I just want to say I really love your work on this. Had a problem on first flash because I missed the part about needing a swap partition now which made it slower the hell and was like what did I screw up on. After rereading the instructions so about swap. Might need too put that in bold for idiots like me.
[G1 Android Development] electrolemon:
Thanks for the suggestions, guys. Just to confirm, which one of these is everyone running:

that used to be part of the old rosie not part of touchflo now i think....
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
yeah that was an old "beta" version HTC had out for what rosie was and what is now "TouchFlo" and i believe the slide button which allowed you to scroll to a specific screen helped create more "LAG" so therefore they removed it.

i like the feature now with out the bar disappear EVERYTIME i switched to a new screen it was annoying and slowed everything down.

glad its gone. my 2 cents :p

thats a worthy 2 cents....cuz some people really need to access the bottom tray and having it disappear was an unneeded annimation
