Hi, everyone there..

i met some problems..

I got this

"The application Messages (process com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

while trying to open Messages app.

guys, any ideas?

I know that replacing mms.apk may fix this problem, right?

but which version of mms.apk should i use?

thx 4 ur help!
[G1 Android Development] abteer:
For the guy with SD problems this should reformat your card:

http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/sd_formatter.html
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
That's why I flashed back to 2.1!

I didn't know how to fix it being I don't have adb. I also found it runs smoother.
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
I used paragon 9 it does Linux swap for linux. Just make sure your making it the 3rd partition. Works fine for me. And 9.0 is available full working version trail.
[G1 Android Development] Jceezy:
You need to clear your ext2/ ext3 partition before flashing 2.73 this should fix your problem
[G1 Android Development] ss1271:
thanx 4 ur help

i formatted my ext3 app2sd partition and then re-flashed this ROM and fixed my problem.
[G1 Android Development] steveruv:
ive used paragon 9 as it has been the easiest way for me, did the fat32, ext3 and linux swap, but still see a 0 swap when i go into terminal and do the

$ free command.

ive had no probs, my g1 running very nice on i believe the jachero build 2.6. force closes only when plugged to the usb.

can we safely delete thru the manage apps the swapper and overclock app since they are done automatically or we have to keep them on?

also, in regards to the sms/mms, when i receive a text, i get the person's number on the bottom not, the actualy name, does that need the sms or mms apk from a previous build?

ill prob format the partitions again if i see a new jachero rom with extra goodies, but til now, im content.

thanks again developers!
[G1 Android Development] torc114:
anyone no a way i can get the old notification bar back?
[G1 Android Development] wasuup:
Please can someone help me I installed JACeroski 2.7.3 using it fine and that, but by accident my phone went on the rosie build not sure but the second screen shoot with the exploding android, look more like the cupcake build. But after my phone went sleep it went back to the hero build the one with the JACHero logo blue background. My question is how do you swap builds on the Jachero 2.7.3 please (been doing search on that but stuck need to ask)
[G1 Android Development] soba5150:
to go back to rosie....go into applications and go to rosie or home or whatever and press clear defaults.....then next time you press home it will ask you which one you want to make your default....if you don't want the regular launcher just delete it in terminal

rm -r /system/sd/app_s/Launcher.apk

rm -r /system/sd/app_s/Launcher.odex

then reboot your phone and your all set
[G1 Android Development] Dyonas:
OK time for a question that might see me burst into flames soon after...

The twitter widget (among others I like) that HTC use, the flash player and the TouchFLO interface, can they be used on a regular rooted G1 Android or are they tied in too deeply to the Hero build?
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Hey man u gotta get the old framework-res.apk back.....or u can edit it n replace the PNG's from the old build..
[G1 Android Development] Oceanborn:
Can anyone tell me how the calling times are? I remember in earlier Hero builds it would take like 4 rings before the person actually heard it.
[G1 Android Development] iDavey:
I can probably guess this has been answered, but 412 pages is alot.

Could someone give me directions on how to format just my EXT3 partition thru Terminal or Cy's Recovery?
[G1 Android Development] komposure85:
no they would not work a regular device
[G1 Android Development] torc114:
thanks for the tip i got the old framework-res.apk from 2.62 and adb pushed it over and it worked perfectly
[G1 Android Development] Oceanborn:
Is it possible for someone to give me a list of things that ARE NOT working in this build? I'm still running various Ion ROMS until Hero is stable enough to use for everyday.

My biggest concerns:

-GPS

-WiFi

-Calling times

Thanks in advance
[G1 Android Development] willworkforart:
It's on the first post of the thread- the one that tells you how to install the rom. It runs through how to format the partitions in the terminal in recovery.
[G1 Android Development] willworkforart:
All three of these aren't a problem in the newest build. Bluetooth, MMS, Leds are.
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
adb shell

rm r system/sd/*

or

adb shell

lucid -c

in recovery terminal

mount system

rm -r system/sd/*

you can use lucid -c in terminal as well
[G1 Android Development] Oceanborn:
Thanks a bunch, could the mms.apk just be brought from an earlier build? Or is it something deeper than that..
[G1 Android Development] willworkforart:
Some people aren't experiencing the mms issue - there are a bunch of posts in here about it...

It does look like you need to manually do some work for an Alarm and a GPS issue:

rm Maps.apk and WorldClock.apk from /data/app_s and push GoogleMaps.apk and WorldClock.apk from the 2.63 build.
[G1 Android Development] evildroid:
i just realise that the multitouch function works on my pictures ....this is great
[G1 Android Development] k4r1m:
This may seem offtopic but it is not,

i have a 32A based magic and people have managed to get this flashed with a certian boot.img for the hero magic builds....

1) since im going to be using a different boot.img what kinda of changes am i going to be looking at in-terms of features?

2) since 32A magics already have plenty more ram ~288mb is the sd card partitioning required or is it just something optional?
[G1 Android Development] bigslanki:
THANK YOU

i have been saying for about 3days that my MMS(pics) dont work at all.

i have done the APN and uncheck auto retrieve reboot etc.... still nothing

my sms work ok i believe i have missed 1 that i sent to myself today, just to test how many i would miss.

I HAVE THE 2.7.3 LITE. im not sure if this makes a difference but i have the 14.99 unlimited sms,pics,mms etc package.

i used the mms with no problem on the cupcake build,and jeusfreke.

thats my only issue with the 2.7.3 as of now.

Not sure of how this Rom can get anybetter... my app2sd do not auto move to sd for sum reason
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
the mms pics work, the problem is that there is a 300k limit for sending pics..

make sure you check the size of the pic..
[G1 Android Development] ComplexMinded:
great little addition huh? thanks to the devs..

This is pretty much stable for me. It moves on par with my original cupcake ROM.. I hardly use BT or LED's so this is what i'm sticking with until those areas are fixed.

Thanks for all of the hard work!
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
i will try to download again =) but ugh make me frustrated that i am missing out on 2.7.3
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
what do u mean top? like i delete everything on my sd card whenever i do a rom update(backed up my files ofcoarse) and i do have partitions fat 32,ext3,and linux-swap
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
I think he means the root directory.
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
we dont need to format our linux partition before flashing, just the ext correct?
[G1 Android Development] dragonranpu:
swap partition

I must say I thought that the 2.7.3 was fast with a 64 meg swap partition. But I had still gotten a load screen when switching back to the home screen. SO I thought I would try a 32 meg swap and now I do not even get a load screen when switching back to the home screen from the setting screen. This is the best I have tried yet.
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
Hey guys, thanks for all your hard work. I was hoping you guys would be including compcache support in your latest build. You don't have to set it as default, but maybe leave the modules in place for those who want to try it out? Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
hey man im a bit confused...is compache like swapper ? but i was readin it doesnt wear/tear the sdcard unlike swapper.
[G1 Android Development] rpmccormick:
Seriously, how are you people not getting "load screens"?

I have a 8GB Class6 SD formatted 8000/8100/8132 with 8168 the total size. So... 32meg linux-swap, 100meg EXT3 (do I need more here? My apps fit in it fine with some megs to spare.)

On first boot and whenever home restarts I get a loading circle for well over a full minute and cannot use my phone at all until home loads. Now, sometimes when I go home it is already loaded and fine, but more that 50% of the time it has to reload (especially when returning from HTC apps; for example, if I click the weather icon on the clock to see the 5-day forecast, then press either back or home to exit, the home screen ALWAYS has to load for 60+ seconds).

It is not much faster then when I was running 2.63-slowsd with the stock card 512/400/32.

If others have it running with "no loading screens", please give me some suggestions on getting mine the same. On first boot, dosn't everyone experience about a 15-second G1, followed by a 30-second HERO, followed by a 60-second HTC, followed by a 60-second Loading-circle? Yes, it takes 3-min for me to use my phone after swapping the battery. How fast is it for others?

PS: I have wiped/flashed and I always get the same performance.
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
Its like swapper, but instead of creating a swap file on a block device, it compresses everything that goes into the RAM so its expands it (24MB of RAM would be expanded 3-fold from what I gleaned to about 72MB of RAM) Its also faster because the phone doesn't need to read/write to the SDcard at the same time.... I think, if I misunderstood anything, let me know, I'd rather know for sure and be spouting the wrong info everywhere.
[G1 Android Development] Vision77:
I am actually kind of excited to see how compcache will improve the Jachero builds:D
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
I would check if your swap file is being used. Go to terminal and type:

#free

If you see any zeros, that's whats causing you to see the HTC Screen all the time. Good luck.
[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
well then you must be doing something wrong, i flashed the rom on thursday and have been poking it ever since with my stock 1gb card, and im not getting load screens
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
i think the initial load screen on boot up is inevitable. but once it loads i dont see it load again coming from browser, market, or anywhere else.

I have a 400mb ext3, 100mb is pretty small, i dont know if its small enough to affect performance but id change it if i were you. but thats the only thing ive done differently.

Also, im not sure if order matters but i have fat32, ext3, linux in that order.
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
nocturna what size do you use for your linux partition? And have you tried different sizes?

I was using 32 but decided to up it to 60 because i wasnt getting the performance i had with jacheroski 1.4 and i ran 32mb with that build it was the fastest, lowest lag sense UI ive tried yet...thanks
[G1 Android Development] talltexan:
some of my apps would freeze every once in a while however 90% of my load screens are gone. the only time i get one is whenever a app freezes or force closes. however i still will switch back till i can get a 100% stable im on 48mb of swap on a class 4 8g with 700 ext2
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Has neone gotten compcache/ramx working on a hero build ?
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
I am getting a loop of HERO splash after the first reboot. I don't know if its doing something in the background. Is it supposed to loop like that? How long should it last?
[G1 Android Development] talltexan:
it can take up to 5 mins.
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
Does it repeatedly throw the HERO splash? It has been doing that for last 10 minutes. I got impatient and removed battery and rebooted. And it is doing the same thing again....:( Is it not supposed to work on a white G1?
[G1 Android Development] XL4T3R4LU5X:
i dont know if anyone else has had the same issue but i noticed that when i updated to 2.7.1 a few days ago i checked my internal memory and was at something like 78MB, and in a matter of about 3 days, it had dropped to around 26MB. I wiped and flashed 2.7.3 today and im back up at something like 76 or so again.

What could be eatng up so much memory in such a short amount of time, i use tether daily for at least 6-8 hrs, i use the G1 browser a lot, but i cant see what else could be using up so much memory.
[G1 Android Development] talltexan:
Not to sure about the working on the white, mine is a Bronze and the Hero splash shouldnt be on more than 5 mins. Try to wipe then reflash the ROM, what SPL are you using?
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
The latest SPL mentioned in the link in the first post. I have wiped, and reflashed and still the same thing.

Is it possible that the SPL did not go through, although it did HBOOT updated after the flash. And I could boot cynagenmod ROM successfully after the SPL update.

Does the JACHero not have support for ext4?
[G1 Android Development] sojizy:
what you might need to do is format your sd card. had the same thing happen to me and theres a site that breaks down how to use cyanogens recovery img to format and partition your sd card. worked like a charm. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534461. hope it helps. oh and make sure you have the latest radio (first) and spl. you can get those from page 1 of this thread
[G1 Android Development] talltexan:
cam + power what SPL does it state? it will say HBOOT-1.33.2005 if it is the correct one.
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
That was it. reformatted to ext2 and it went further.
[G1 Android Development] rpmccormick:
Free: Total / Used / Free / Shared / Buffers

Mem: 98328 / 93920 / 4408 / 0 / 100

Swap: 31240 / 17108 / 14132

Total: 129568 / 111028 / 18540

Does that mean anything? 0 for shared?

Does anyone really think making my EXT3 larger would do anything?

The only problem is that I see the HTC followed by Loading more than 50% of the time I press the home button... and it loads for over a min. Other than that every thing runs fast.
[G1 Android Development] bigslanki:
the app usually resizes the picture for mms...but ive yet to get one to send or recieve
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
There is absolutely no difference in the white, black or bronze G1s except for the pigment in the plastic case. Thus, there is absolutely no program/rom/anything that will not run on one particular color of phone...
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Guys ne idea when 2.8 is comin out...2nite ?
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
its been 3 or 4 days since we've heard from any devs, i wouldnt hold my breath...
[G1 Android Development] frankd14321:
I know that it is the same app, i meant to put a sms/mms not sms,mms. Same thing.

Yes I always do a wipe. going back to 2.71 which works perfect.
[G1 Android Development] rpmccormick:
FYI: I figured it out. I never get the loading after pressing home if I remove my PF VoiceMail+ widget. Too bad though, I really like having my voicemail info on my home screen.

EDIT: I think it has problems with any non HTC widget. Does anyone else use 3rd party widgets like mycoupons, battery meter, taskiller, PF-VM+, etc. I don't think Rosie plays nice with any of them.
[G1 Android Development] wizern23:
if yall followed their twitters then you would know that JAC is moving and Drizzy just had a baby.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
I use the android (non htc) flipclock widget which is similar but just doesnt lag me rom....nah i dont c ne loading screens except at startup
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
i guess Rosie dont want me to leave her...

I download the superlite version, put it on my sdcard, flash it ( coming from cyanogens 3.6.8 ), and bammm Rosie is there.. faster but she's there... im like wtf... i wanted to try without rosie and all the widgets... lol.. smh ... lol..

she drivin me nuts
[G1 Android Development] johnphamiliar:
lets hope soon and maybe this could run alittle faster?

takes forever to go from browser to home and does flash 9 works?

i went on youtube.com (not mobile version) it wouldnt play any vid.

wierd. but everything seems fine and run greats.
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
I really need to partition my stock card, lol.
[G1 Android Development] lamario:
I use the pf voicemail widget, and I havent seen a loading screen for days. I also use alot of memory intensive programs, like deezer, dizzler, and imeem. The only time on this rom I have seen a loading screen is after using the browser.

Speaking of, has anyone ever have the browser close for no reason? Not even a force close, just one minute browsing, the next looking at rosie.
[G1 Android Development] mogulrudy:
Sweet ROM! Running swapper and it's getting faster by the minute!!
[G1 Android Development] lamario:
Programs are only moved to sd after a reboot. It installs to the phone memory, then a2sd.sh moves them automagically.
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
swapper isnt needed if ur running linux swap
[G1 Android Development] bigslanki:
did u by chance reformat the ext2 or ext3? if not then that could be the reason

this is a problem if u read back about 100 pgs(lol im joking dont do it) its been an issue that App2sd isnt moving apps, reboots havent done anything for apps.
[G1 Android Development] XL4T3R4LU5X:
just for clarification, were talking about apps2sd as in storing them on as well as running them off the sd, is that correct? i never really understood the whole concept of "auto apps2sd" and what it was supposed to accomplish. all i understood was that "YAY ITS AUTOMATIC!!!" so everyone was always like, dont worry about it, its automatic! wtf does it do, or supposed to do, i should ask.

o and another thing, each time i wipe and flash a new rom all the apps i had are automatically installed, is that apps2sd or appmanager doing that?

(i cant ask ayone at work cuz their all noobs! i work at tmob)
[G1 Android Development] johnp888:
sometimes apps tend to place files in phone memory. i had the same thing happen with google voice, it currently places the voicemail mp3's in a directory located under /data/data, which is a part of that memory pool. hopefully google fixes this. my other option is to sym link that directory to sd, probably in the /system/sd path, not the /sdcard path, good luck.
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
nah i didnt reformat the ext2/3 partition, and dont plan on it...

but oh well, it runs a lil faster..

the main lag is when the physical keyboard is open, and you forget, and press the home key on the phone( takes about 3 min for the phone to get itself together )..

other than that its still a great rom..
[G1 Android Development] bigslanki:
when ur wiping and flashing it just clearing the internal phone data( i believe thats correct)...the apps are still installed because u havent reformated ur ext2(ext3)......it might be ok i think...(the apps cache are also moved which will cause a problem sumtime)....the auto apps2sd is suppose to be implemented in the script or .sh to move /system/app/ to SD before any of the phone processes have run.

i cant confirm that,that has worked at all for me on a reboot.

i started at about 80mb internal and am now at 56 after 3days...and about 6-10 reboots

i would prefer a manual apps2sd option after the first boot. that way i could confirm that the memory is only being used by cache/info not moved

But im not a programmer thats just what mE have LeArnT...from mE LCD screen
[G1 Android Development] johnp888:
i hope JAC gets bluetooth working soon. Rosie/TouchFLO is killing my phone calls right now, otherwise i would stick with it. I'm using the normal home launcher. tempted to go back to cyanogen... please, no more flip-flopping roms! hehe. it's been a great ride, never had a phone like the g1, so many roms to chose from! :D
[G1 Android Development] bigslanki:
yea i gotya....i just reformat my ext3 each time just to start out and see what the new update is actually doing(faster or slower) and i have my apps on USb backup...if ur not having any problems from the Rom then i guess ur good.

if u do come across a problem give lite another try from a clean slate...U WONT BE disappointed....
[G1 Android Development] XL4T3R4LU5X:
believe me dude, im the furthest thing from any of these devs on here, the extent of my knowledge of rooting, flashing etc...is a direct representation of what i read on tha interwebz.

ok, so now as i look thru my phone, the way i understand it /system/sd is supposed to be used somehow, but it remains utterly empty. also empty is /system/app...... on the other hand, /sdcard/BackupRoot/sd/app is flled with all my apps. does that mean that all my apps are indeed being stored and ran off of my sd card?

damn, im confused....
[G1 Android Development] LvDisturbed1:
I think another reason memory is dropping is because the dalvik-cache is not automatically being stored on the sd, just app, app-private, and app_s. I wonder if theres a reason for that. I used to move the dalvik-cache to my sd on the cupcake builds I used with no ill effects. Think moving it on hero will break it?

Edit: Well I found out why its stored internally. JAC said is faster than using the sd. I'm gonna assume moving it manually is possible. My internal storage is now at 48MB...and the phone isn't quite as quick as it was a few days ago.
[G1 Android Development] bigslanki:
WOW ok Possible Bug Found

i just ls -la into the /system/app/

and also /system/sd/app_s/

im getting the same filesize for both this shouldnt be right?

if so that would mean that i have the files twice internal and on ext3 right?

Also i have a correction i can only say for my case that the apps2sd is working on Auto...the problem may have come with the first intial boot and move of the internal apps.....i believe it only copied the apk to SD but kept the apk in the internal mem?? i am including screnn shots for sumone to take a look.
[G1 Android Development] LvDisturbed1:
Not an issue with mine. On mine, system/data is linked to data/app_s, which is finally linked to system/sd/data_s.
[G1 Android Development] jspookss:
For some reason, I cannot see my apps in the system/sd/app folder using Astro anymore?

How can I make sure theyre there, or copy them just in case i need to reformat my SD?

Yeah i know.. search search search, but ive found no one with my problem..
[G1 Android Development] bigslanki:
well i just looked inside /data/app_s/ and i have the same as

/sd/app_s/

/system/app/

maybe i dont know what im looking at lol

but it would explain where my memory is going
[G1 Android Development] Deathwish238:
If I wanted to format my ext2 partition...can't I boot into linux and do it? That way I wouldn't lose my main fat32 partition as well. I guess my concern is if the ROM will know what to do with the ext2 partition or not
[G1 Android Development] bigslanki:
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

form here

gnu parted

#print

it will list sdcard

1 fat32

2 ext3 or ext2

3 linux-swap

type

#rm 2

then

#mkpartfs primary ext2

from there it will say

start: look at your numbers where ext2 starts and ends and fill the rest according

example

start:

3240

end:

3740

then #quit or exit

#upgrade_fs for ext3
[G1 Android Development] rpmccormick:
Hey, one thing I didn't see mentioned here is the lack of cell-tower location. Does it work for anyone? The GPS works fine in google maps, but it can't find an approximate location with the GPS off. It worked stock and JF1.5, but never in JAC 2.63 or 2.73.

Edit: And the camera button too. (plus LED and BT of course) Can't someone just make an app that allows you to assign any function to the camera button? I know the OS sees it because if you press it just as the screen goes dark it will wake it back up.
[G1 Android Development] Deathwish238:
Yeah my camera button doesn't work either and triangulation seems to be weird in Google Maps for me too

Won't that make me lose the data on my fat32 partition?
