no... i used 1.2 before and i always test out roms and ended up going back to either 1.1 or 1.2 but i always had to redo everything on card.

so i am sure my 1.1 and 1.2 zip files are ok

i really like 1.1 because of the speed but i experienced missing sms as some others have... and 1.2 is very stable as far as no market bugs like private apps not working. but it seems slower than 1.1
[G1 Android Development] louisville:
ya i did similarly with the paragon partitioner did 3 partitions as primary from scratch but its not recognizing , can you tell your exact configuration for the build and SD partitioning?
[G1 Android Development] louisville:
hi installed exactly following the steps mentioned and made it work , but i cant make it recognize my fat32 partition, it recognized swap and ext3 but cant access fat 32 message was "sd card removed ,please insert it" it would have made sense if swap and ext3 are not working but they do.please tell me the solution if you know!
[G1 Android Development] Anomolystic:
usb not mounting

Ok.... I tried the command that I found in an earlier post (mount dev/block/mmcblk0) and it doesn't seem to be working.... my old sd card was mounting fine but I recently got a trancend 8gb class 6 card (JACxHERO v1.1 running like a DREAM by the way :D ) I just can't seem to get it to mount anymore. Luckily I do have a card reader just in case but... still... any ideas???
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
well this is what i do when i partition my card. btw maybe ur sd card is damaged idk...i dont use paragon. all the tools are on your phone

go to recovery via power on+home and select console

this is an example for a 4 gig card. for ext3 try to keep 512 mb and 32mb for linus-swap. fat32 should be used for the remaing memory.

press enter once

type in:(note: push enter when line is complete,dont panic if u see #. just ignore them)

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

print

rm 1

rm 2

rm 3

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 3456

mkpartfs primary ext2 3456 3968

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 3968 4000

quit

upgrade_fs

reboot recovery

if you have any questions or trouble just ask me. and btw you have to type the code in exactly. if you mess up just typee in random keys so the concole wont recognize the console and restart typing or type in cancel if promptes.. u cant press backspace after

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
what are you mounting for. i can give u exact code if u tell me
[G1 Android Development] Anomolystic:
Well I just got the new sdcard and I backed up some stuff from my older one onto my computer and I want to put the stuff on the new sdcard... does that help at all?
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
hm with ur new sd card. i think its better to use the card reader since its directly mounted to the computer. in my opinion i use the card reader to put my files back on after i repartition my card. it just seems faster.

btw did u partition your card tho? and what did u use...recovery console or paragon or any other message?

and if u cant get ur sd card to mount then it could be damaged.. i got screwed over when i ordered a kingston 4gig class 4 from amazon and the sd card i got was brand new,but also damaged and didnt work.
[G1 Android Development] Anomolystic:
....damn... I got mine from amazon too... I used the recovery console to partition but I always used partition anyway... I dunno I guess its a good thing I went ahead and got the reader then... does it do anything if you have a swap file larger than 32mb? I have it partitioned like this: Fat32=7300, ext3=600mb, linux-swap=48
[G1 Android Development] louisville:
if i format all how can i get the zip? should i do installation and after that , before doing the first boot should i make these partitions?

or

should i do partitions first and then put the zip into fat partition and and then install?
[G1 Android Development] louisville:
mine is a 8GB card in which 6.2 GB for FAt, 1.1GB for EXT3 and there are 32MB and 64MB fat partitions which i switch through swapper when need arises.
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
well it doesnt do anything if ur swap is larger than 32mb.., it depends on ur settings.. i always set mine to 32mb so i never have my swap partition larger than 32

go into console and type

free

to see if your swap is working.

you will see something like this:(note that this is just an example)

Mem: 97952 96124 1828 0 500

Swap: 24088 22900 1188

Total: 122040 119024 3016

look at the swap part... u see the first number is total swap. 2nd number is swap used and 3rd number is swap free

to change ur swap settings type this into recovery console

mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

echo 20 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

the "20" can be changed to whatever you like as long as ur linux-swap is big enough.. since u are have 48mb for ur linuxiswap then type in

mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

echo 48 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

so you can maximize youe swap. but i found out some people get good result with just 32. some use 60. some use 100 sumthing.. but i also read that if youre swap is too big...more programs can be ran at the same time but in turn will cause lag... thats why having some devs suggest that linux-swap set to use 32 is good enough
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
do u use the swapper app found in market? or manually set it yourself in recovery console? i really need to know this part.

you need a card reader to get the update.zip file back on after partitioning your card.

i always partition my card first whenever i have to repartition everything

since read that 512 for ext 3 is good enough. so type in

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

print

rm 1

rm 2

rm 3

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7000

mkpartfs primary ext2 7000 7512

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 7512 7544

quit

upgrade_fs

reboot recovery

the reason why you will be using a total of 7544mb on ur card is because you dont always get the full 8 gigs. i.e. on my ps3 60 gig, my harddrive can only store up to 57gigs.

whenever you type print its suppose to tell you how much memory your sd card actually has.

after partitioning and reboot recovery then take out sd card put into card reader. then place the rom into the root of ur sd card and rename update on a pc or update.zip on a mac.

i use cm recovery 1.4 instead of cm recovery 1.3.1 so i dont need to rename to update

reinsert your sd card. then select repair ext. then wipe. then flash

repartitioning your card every time before you flash guarantees that you wont get a bootloop. but i dont always repartition
[G1 Android Development] gmg3002:
When I tried to repair EXT filesystems, I got "Error checking filesystems! Run e2fsck manually from console."

What does that mean and how go about fixing it?
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
i never encountered this problem.maybe someone can answer since i dont know it either..i would search for it now...but i am youtubin now
[G1 Android Development] louisville:
does it work for restoring too , coz i was successfully running my jachero 3.6.5 then i took nandroid backup and then partitioned my card and installed jacxhero 1.2 then i got boot loop , so when i tried to restore from back up , it got installed and on rebooting it stuck with blank screen after Tmobile G1 logo , i need tht to work badly coz it was best rom i had and was running without lag. i replaced touch flo with open home and remaining else is almost same , i can get to adb shell and see all files, can i do anything from there to get to my home screen ? coz i cant even see HERO logo too after rebooting.
[G1 Android Development] louisville:
when you do immediately check then it shows repaired , try it do two times in a row.
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
im not sure i never used 3.6.5

but!

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

print

rm 1

rm 2

rm 3

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7000

mkpartfs primary ext2 7000 7512

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 7512 7544

quit

upgrade_fs

reboot recovery

well reformat your whole card and make it a freshly partitioned card.

and then i use card reader to to put the zip of the rom i want to flash. then i reinsert sd into phone. boot to recovery . repair ext,wipe,then flash.

just make sure u back up all your files to your computer first.. i make a folder called "g1 files (todays date)"

i only redo my partitions and stuff whenever i run into bootloops when flashing back to jacxhero 1.2 or 1.1 and cant figure out why...

i never ran into these problems whenever i flashed drizzys roms tho.
[G1 Android Development] louisville:
i did exactly all the steps u said , succesfully installed v1.2 jacxhero and ext3 and swap are fine but the fat partition didnt mount.

when i gave mount command it did show tht mmcblk0p2(ext3) partition successfully mounted but no sign of mmcblk0p1 , then i tried to mount it manually by

mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system/sdcard

it shows "usage: mount[-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory" wht does tht mean what command will work? please do tell me.
[G1 Android Development] Anomolystic:
WOOOOOW thankyouthankyouthankyou! I must have missed the post that explained that whole thing because I had no idea.... :o
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
so did 1.2 boot up correctly with no bootloop?

well i usually dont mess with mount commands so i am not sure why u are havin the problem. mayb some one else can help.
[G1 Android Development] newjaruz:
Does anyone here know which Hero rom is fastest

is it JACxHEROv1.2 or Drizzy's Touchflow 3d 2.8 or Drizzy's Touchflow V3 or another?

I apologize, but I don't want to have to flash and wipe my sd if I'm already on the fastest rom...
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
i noticed that jacxhero 1.2 is a bit laggy when compared to 1.1 but 1.1 has a problem with receiving text messages. youll receive most text msgs but not all.

drizzy 2.8 doesnt work with private apps in market.

the most stable rom i have experienced and will stick with until drizzy is done with his 5 rom release and jacxhero 1.3 is drizzy 2.2r2. it has the same speed as jacxhero 1.1, but drizzy 2.2r2 has a fully working market and fully workin mms.apk

if you want i can send u the link where u can download the drizzy 2.2
[G1 Android Development] gmg3002:

[G1 Android Development] yupz:
I don't know if it was done on purpose or if its a mistake on my phone but all my HTC weather widgets are missing the black transparent background and my lockscreen is missing the gray arc around the time. Was this done on purpose or did I do something wrong? I've installed it twice already and have the same problem. Any help? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
the gray arc has been taken off. jac and drizzy collaborated for jacxhero and drizzy took off the ARC. and what htc weather widgets? the official htc widget? or widgets installed from the market?
[G1 Android Development] yupz:
The Official HTC weather widgets; all 3 of the are missing the black background so they appear with a clear background which makes them are to read with a light wallpaper.

EDIT: Also, anyway to put the gray arc back, the lockscreen look really empty without it

Won't boot after haykuros spl

I got to the very end after flashing radio + spl + formatting the sd card, and was flashing the JAChero rom and got a error on line 58. I read it was a problem with the spl on the phone and to flash to haykuros special spl. Once I flashed that my phone wont boot, just gets stuck at G1 screen and doesn't let me boot into bootloader or recovery :( Please help me out! Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] srt4mn:
You were suppose to flash radio first, THEN the SPL. Do some searching to see if there is a fix you can perform, I'm still new so I don't know for sure.
[G1 Android Development] johncore:
Tried to push Mms.apk over from a previous build with ADB, but it's turned data/app/ into data/app - any way to turn it back into a directory? Judging from the size through 'stat app' all the .apks are still there, I just need to flag it as a directory and not a file.

Help?
[G1 Android Development] gmg3002:
Have you tried re-formatting your SD Card?
[G1 Android Development] dragonranpu:
If you flashed radio first and then the Haruku SPL getting stuck at the G1 screen is normal. It happened to me.

Copy the ROM file to the micro SD card. to do that you will need a card reader.

rename it to Update.

Then with the Micro SD card in the phone boot into recovery by pressing the home button and holding that and the power button until you see the recover screen then Alt S to flash the update and you should be all set.

apps2sd

i am just wondering what the best way to check if apps2sd is working. fairly new to flashing roms and am just wondering if i did everything right. partitioned the sd card into 3 partitions, upgraded to ext3 (i think that's what upgrade_fs does), and flashed the ROM. the rom runs pretty smooth, quite a few loading screens, and I have a class 6 sd card so I am not sure why. Please help.
[G1 Android Development] inf3rno1:
My problem is that I can't get into recovery mode or bootloader. Ive tried atleast 30 times with different combinations of files and updates on the memory card, aswell as trying bootloader and recovery. No matter what I push upon bootup it goes straight to the big G1 screen and stays there till my battery dies.
[G1 Android Development] Six6Sicks:
I flashed Full V3 and my personal opinion is that is excruciatingly slow. JacxHero 1.1 was WAAAAAAAAY faster.......to me. I never went to 1.2 cause I read a lot of negative things.

Just my $0.02
[G1 Android Development] grandomegabosses:
Well, i ran 1.2 for a couple hours, then flashed to overdose v3, and personally, i noticed a great speed increase with drizzys.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
If you run the SPL before you update the radio you will brick your phone. That is what sounds like happened to you. See one of the brick threads.
[G1 Android Development] inf3rno1:
Unfortuneately I did flash the radio before the SPL.. If I can't get into recovery or bootloader, is my only hope ADB? :(
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
You are supposed to do the Radio first. It sounds like you did it right. So you should be ok if you did that. I haven't looked into the Bricked threads much. Fortunately, I haven't had that happen to my phone (knock on wood). Take a look around there and maybe you will find something that can help. I hope your phone isn't toast. Good luck.

I have 1.2 running...

Its supposed to have apps2sd running by default, right? When I go to phone storage, it said that I only had 74mb left. I then downloaded a few games, and it went down to 73mb...
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
74 Mb!!! And your phone hasn't burst into flames yet?

Seriously though, you have plenty of free memory. The /data folder is still on the internal memory. When you add applications it will add some data to this directory.

SMS doesn't work

I'm not a dev or anything... but it's probably a memory problem or you might need to re-flash:o
[G1 Android Development] G_won:
i DEFINITELY have done the radio first & foremost

however I tried doing the ROM install before I did the SPL, plus I don't think my phone's board is PVT. Thus I'm not able to get past the screen with the big white letters "T-Mobile G1" with not even the power + home, power + back or power + camera combos doing anything for me :\

I'm def willing to accept some measure of responsibility for this if me attempting the ROM before SPL goofed up anything seeing how flashing JF on my phone spoiled me since I was afforded a good margin of error and was still able to use bootloader or recovery to jump right back in action. With that said I think it would be VERY ideal.. no no... NECESSARY to specify in the directions that folks WHO DO NOT HAVE PVT BOARD TO AVOID THIS ROM SINCE THE SPL COULD VERY WELL BRICK YOUR PHONE TO A POINT BOOTLOADER OR RECOVERY WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE!

I'm gonna cross fingers and talk to T-Mobile hoping they can hook me up with a replacement. Meanwhile I'll be a chicken and stick with JF whose SPLs are not as high risk as these since even a PVT board still runs a good chance that your phone can still comotose from what I've read. Hopefully whoever maintains the SPL can SERIOUSLY work out whatever it is that makes bricking such a likelihood.

keep looping back on the "hero" main screen...

and yes i did partition my sdcard.... ( works on cyanogen mod etc.. )

dun work, with or without sd anyway...

any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Did you format your ext partition before you did the install? If not, format your ext partition, wipe your phone, run the check filesystem in recovery, and then run the install again.
[G1 Android Development] xREVOx:
before formating your entire ext3 partition like miketaylor stated, do in terminal:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

rm -r /system/sd/app_s

the update script doesn't remove the app_s folder. there might be some apk's and odex's that aren't compatible.

formatting your ext3 partition, you will lose all your apps on your sd.
[G1 Android Development] Noirlecroi:
same thing happened to me last night.....I first partitioned my sd to ext4....don't know if that is the reason, but I assumed it was part of it. I then partitioned to ext3....but didnt repair ext files in recovery.....once I did that, no problem...

So, these might have been the reasons, or it migh have been that I went back and followed the root, partition to hero guide to the letter....which always tends to work

Hey all, as I have been flashing regularly I have noticed that since 1.0 when the apps2sd script runs on start up it no longer includes moving dalvik-cache. I can do this using lucid script in terminal but I have to do this everytime I boot my phone and I turn it off nightly. Is there a way to modify something so that dalvik-cache stays linked to system/sd. It literally saves about 35mb of internal memory by having it on system/sd.

Thanks if anyone can help me out.

EDIT: I really love this rom. It's made my phone much more useful, and I'm constantly hearing about how cool it is from co-workers and friends.

Hi. I'm having a problem with my phone, and I want to find out if it is just me, or if everyone is experiencing this. Whenever I get an incoming call and slide down the screen, it hangs up like I rejected the call. This is very bothersome to me, as I've developed a habit of 'pulling' the screen down to answer calls. Is this happening to anyone else?

Also, I noticed that this phone automatically turns on WiFi as soon as I reboot the phone, and while it says 'turning off' it never actually does. This is a huge drain on my battery for something I never use. With 1.2 I would average a day and a half of heavy use, now I'm lucky to get through 8 hours at work with very minimal texting and talking. No 3g use at all as I'm not covered where I work. Any way to make off the default? Or would I be better to downgrade back to 1.2?
[G1 Android Development] pengages:
sorry i tried looking - found nothing - is there a fix for the horrible low res contact pictures for incoming/outgoing calls?

I've even uploaded super high res photos as my contact photos, yet when they call on my phone, it still looks like i'm stretching out a 2 pixel **** icon.

is there a fix for this?
[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
Simple

FB is integrated in the Contacts, what you need to do is open up People then go to EACH contact open up John Doe and scroll at the bottom to Updates and Events and you will see the link to FB, once you link John Doe scroll to Albums and the FB pictures will load.

Done!

Remember you will have to do this to EACH contact on your People list.

So...since JACHero 2.72 I've been having an issue where anytime I open a larger program(Google Maps for example) and then go back to the home screen, I am often faced with the silver HTC Logo on a black background followed by my homescreen grayed out with a Loading box. Quite annoying as my phone would be unuseable for about 2 minutes.

After changing my linux-swap from 32MB to 96MB, this build works like a dream. It's fast and no more HTC logo and loading screen whenever I hit the home button! Yay!

I'm currently running the HTC clock/weather widget but nothing else yet. If this holds stable for a day I will try putting on the other widgets I would like and hope that it's stable as well.

Is SetCPU safe to use? Or is there no point with this build?
