1.72 = old mms.apk for those having sms/mms issues (smaller send button)

2.7.1 - NEWEST mms.apk (larger send button)

i know its confusing ugh. but whatever try both :]
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
so what are the main changes in 2.7.4 compared to 2.7.3.. like speed? like how much faster is it? and any changes? and i was reading multi touch doesnt work.

i currently run 2.7.3 btw. i am just debating if i should upgrade.
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
Don't upgrade. It's experimental and as you can see, plenty of problems.

If you get your speed/swap settings right on 2.7.3 - it should be plenty usable for the time being until a major upgrade like CompCache is ironed out.
[G1 Android Development] alexperkins:
The wifi doesnt appear to work in 2.7.4 is anyone else experiencing this?

apart from that its nice and smooth!

Holy crap man....

For the love of god or buddah or whomever you pray to....READ THE DAMN THREAD
[G1 Android Development] strath:
I started with 32MB but have found that lower is actually better for me.

32 was pretty much unusable after a while. It wasn’t all that great at boot either.

I switched to 8MB and noticed a huge improvement. Completely usable to me. I don’t think I have seen a load screen yet….

Swappiness set to 20.
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
Do posts like this make anyone else that has been watching this thread for days just want to scream?? I mean, come'on.

Anyway, search the forum for wlan.ko or wireless, go back about 30 pages or so and you'll come up with plenty of people that have had this issue, explained how to fix it, and have even attached the necessary files.
[G1 Android Development] citydog5:
nevermind.
[G1 Android Development] kidnoble:
do you have to have adb in order to fix the mms? I receive the mms but it will not download. I'm sure that's been documented in this post, but as y'all can see it's almost 500 pages long

So I have reviewed the whole thread an no one says anything about bluetooth being busted, and if there are any fixes.
[G1 Android Development] instechgainza:
extract the mms.apk from the previous build and paste to the root of your sd card..in the termina,,

su

cp /sdcard/Mms.apk /system/sd/app_s

that will over write the 2.7.4 mms and

then try to change the APN settings...

Change the settings to the following:

Name: T-Mobile US

APN: wap.voicestream.com

proxy: 216.155.165.050

port: 8080

Username: not set (delete everything in this field)

Password: not set (delete all here too)

if I want to put a new sd card. Should I just put it in and in recovery partition the sd card using parted and then just wipe and reflash the rom? also now that we are using compcashe in 2.7.4 do I still need to have a linux-swap partition? thanks!
[G1 Android Development] Coopaman:
Im still confused about the text force close.. can someone give me a link to fix the problem. I can't receive txt at all
[G1 Android Development] wasuup:
I think if your having problem with the mms even though you can corret it by pushing the old file its more likely your phones getting nakkered by concistently downgrading and then rerooting installing the hard spl and the (i can brick your G1) spl. These spl change your phones internal componant to run faster then the factory spl so every time you restore back then reboot the more worn out the phone gets best thing to do restore your phone tell them your having problems with your mms messages on cupcake update tell them some other minor faulty you must have by now but make it sound there major problems.
[G1 Android Development] Coopaman:
I just tried this and got

cp : cannot stat '/sdcard/mms.apk' : no such file in directory
[G1 Android Development] mickeycobra04:
why, out of nowhere do i get "com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly". it sucks cause i cant download apps from market =/ need help please
[G1 Android Development] clintz:
Make sure you type the filename exactly as it appears on your SD card, Mms.apk not mms.apk

try that?
[G1 Android Development] Coopaman:
i did both ways. :confused:

thats what i would do, itll work and its easy
[G1 Android Development] Dror520:
So do I need the linux swap partition?
[G1 Android Development] dipeshb:
I could be wrong but this rom seems like a cyanogised hero kernal, hence the lack of 'proper' MT that we have been used to with the Hero builds.. Zarboz - Cyanogized Compache nocturna.JacHeroz (jachero 2.7.3MOD with compache support) Has already done this..

I love Hero's contacts integration AND the iphone like MT..

I have gone back to Cyan 3.6.5.. (yes you may be surprised) when you do this, you will come to appreciate a very snappy, super optimised ROM.. it just goes from one app to another and then barks at you, c'mon what do you want to do next!!!

From what i've heard from reviews, even on the Hero hardware there is lag, thats with the 288mb ram..

Also even with the latest ROM, I have received a call, but i got cut off before I could answer (no rings!), the phone tripped over itself after this and was very slow to recover to normal operation..

I'm afraid our hope of a truely beautiful ROm will come when people can customise rosie for the forth coming Sony Xperia.. 1Ghz 300+mb ram (Ihope)

My 2 cents !
[G1 Android Development] wasuup:
the reason why nobody has answered your question because it dosn't make sense even if someonne wanted to help but if you go to page 1 on this tread and read carefully all is revealled if you can't make sense of the flashing process maybe it time to give up.

lol, burn........
[G1 Android Development] Chance Ill:
bt has NEVER worked with any hero rom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] Dror520:
I understand that but I'm asking if I need the linux swap partition if I'm using 2.7.4 thanks!
[G1 Android Development] Chance Ill:
all u have to do is read previous post and you will find a fix. its not hard to find!!!
[G1 Android Development] imfloflo:
Please guys use search function of this topic about the wifi the answer is few page back!

If Wifi not working after flashing 2.7.4, just download wlan.ko and push it to your phone, reboot and that's ok after that.

Justanotherdev will fix that on next release.
[G1 Android Development] chicojd:
NOW!!! FINALLY someone posts something useful on the WiFi problem. I've searched and read and searched and read and for some reason this never occurred to me. It makes sense that with the Cyan kernel, you would need the Cyan driver. duhhhhhh...
[G1 Android Development] Luckenbach:
ZOMG I am cool and use a like a million exclamation marks.

I was asking, Several people have asked an no one has stated this, I have searched.
[G1 Android Development] wasuup:
with 2.74 you can install it using the linux-swap partions by partioning your sd card
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Bro throw you Effing phone out. You dont deserve it
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
You need to optimize your build better. My hero install, even running Rosie, is very snappy and more than fast enough. In fact, I'd say it's not far off than a standard t-mobile cupcake rom.
[G1 Android Development] Dror520:
but now that we are using compcache do we still need the linux swap partition?
[G1 Android Development] wasuup:
you don't need linux-swap if you also using compcache but he didnt ask if he needs linuxs-swap and a compcache
[G1 Android Development] cronin4392:
How slow is this ROM supposed to run? I've been reading around the forum and from what people have been saying the ROM seems kind of slow, but it is still usable.

Yesterday I put 2.7.4 on my phone along with a 100 MB swap partition and swapiness of 100 with compcache. When i type in cat /proc/ramzswap i have 77%. I have a class 6 card.

When running this ROM it is the slowest thing on the planet, usually when going back to the home screen, which can take around 30 seconds usually.
[G1 Android Development] wasuup:
yesterday someone on this tread wrote about putting the swapiness to 100 will make your phone slow after 45min or so you should read the post carefully before you blaming the rom the rom is brilliant nuff said.
[G1 Android Development] cronin4392:
Im not blaming the ROM, thats the reason I asked the question.
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
Did you format your ext2/3? Even with a swappiness of 100, it doesn't take 30sec to get back to home... for me, its about 3 sec from browser with flash to home.
[G1 Android Development] cronin4392:
Do you mean do i have a ext partition? If so, then yeah I have an ext3.

And yeah im running with swappiness at 60 and i havent used it much, but so far its working faster. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
I think he's asking if you formatted the partition...if files are left in the partition they can screw up the next build you flash so you need to format the ext with software or through your terminal...
[G1 Android Development] cronin4392:
If hes asking that, then yeah i formated before flashing.
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
Check your processor speed. I did a completely fresh build of 2.7.3 (brand new empty SD card and full wipe) and it was laggy as all hell. Virtually unusable.

I found that my processor was only running 248mhz. Downloaded "Open Overclocker" off the Market and set it to 528 min and max, and it's been damn near lightning fast since... and I'm running Touch FLO. roughly 12 hours ago. I have a 32mb swap partition running 80 swappiness as well.

Also, do NOT use any weather widgets on your home screen including the clock/weather combo, those lag your phone out as they constantly try and update.
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
Those widgets are pretty memory intensive as well, even if you optipng and whatever-optimize them. Yeah, by default the build is at 384/248, but optimal is 528/528. Just a little thing as well, something I've noticed was there was a problem with text wrapping, I don't know if it has been addressed, but here are screenshots:

Text Wrapping is sort of...off.^
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
I have the same text wrapping issues. That and MyBackup Pro doesn't work with Hero, crashes when re-installing programs... major suckage.
[G1 Android Development] zellbz:
I am running 2.73 and isn't apps2sd supposed to be automatic... if it is can someone direct me on how to enable it?

[G1 Android Development] cronin4392:
There have been a few posts addressing the wifi issue. Search for the wlan.ho file and then:

adb remount

adb push wlan.ko /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
I was only kidding man!
[G1 Android Development] lamario:
I just searched using the phrases "hero bluetooth", just for the hell of it. After reading about five or six posts, the overwhelming response was the bluetooth isnt working. So it you really searched, the you should find your answer. I'm sure youd get similar results with "2.7.4 wifi". This thread is going to hell.
[G1 Android Development] lamario:
I guess you didnt get the joke...
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
I'm sorry guys...I was kind of making fun of the 1000 other posts!
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
yea its wierd...anyone have any idea how to fix this?
[G1 Android Development] itsruddy:
Yeah, I caught the joke with the smiley. Dude, isn't my Hero supposed to do my homework for me?! Why isn't it?! How do I fix this?!
[G1 Android Development] cyncere:
Reinstalling apps after a wipe thru Mybackup Pro is a SLOW process anyway due to the fact that you have to ok every app to be installed. If you need to wipe & reformat your ext2/3 just pull the files from ext2/3 to your computer BEFORE you reformat and then push them back after you've done the necessary ROM installation process (a reformat of ext/wipe/flash ROM) :D no button pressing just a couple quick adb commands

Commands:

adb remount

To pull files:

adb pull /system/sd/app app

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

to push back:

adb push app /system/sd/app

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

the download for 2.7.4r2 is 41.6mb and when i try to flash it it says it is corrupt does anyone know what is wrong?
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
its not the FULL ROM. JAC must had an error uploading the update for that rom so for now don't download or flash that again.

you could BRICK your phone :eek:

2.7.4 test

Here's what i got after 5 hours of using the 2.7.4 version with compcache set to default swappiness (60).fixd wifi,mms is good, little lag but still usable, not bad for the 8gb class 2..Thanks to Jac and the company..(Waiting for THE MENU OF THE DAY!!

Would taking the browser from 2.7.3 and pushing it to my phone which has 2.7.4 work in order to get multitouch back?
[G1 Android Development] Wisefire:
2.7.3 is amazing when following the steps accurately. I love the speed! Thanks JAC!
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
nope its not about the "browser" app its about the "kernel" in the 2.7.4 so yeah nothing you can do about it at the moment.

gotta wait for more development to get Multi-touch into the "kernel" of cyanogen's that JAC is using in 2.7.4

hope that clears it up for you :)
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
i still like running 2.7.1 =D

its super fast for me so i don't wanna fix something thats not broken.
[G1 Android Development] cronin4392:
dam, alright.

and i cant (un)update with 2.7.3 without flashing, correct? I remember when i went from .3 to .4 i had to wipe.
[G1 Android Development] lamario:
I here ya. I'm still on 2.7 and I dont think the addition of compcache is enough to make me switch because its running smooth as day. Maybe once its out of experimental, and the features are smoothed out a bit, I'll flash.
[G1 Android Development] Wisefire:
Yeah, I was running it for quite some time and it started running slow the past few days. I figured a fresh wipe of everything would help, and it did.
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
Is it possible to tether the 3G on this rom?
[G1 Android Development] g2crx:
WOW This worked GREAT. Thank you for the commands.
[G1 Android Development] MINUS Stl:
First off, I've been a "lurker" for quite awhile. Started with a Shadow and now with the G1.

I flashed 2.7.4 with no hiccups and it's running great! The one problem I'm having is my clock widget with the weather on the bottom is showing a time of 0:00am and no weather forecast. I've tried pushing the clock and weather apk's from a previous Hero rom that worked...but to no avail. :mad:
[G1 Android Development] madunix:
well, i gave up and went back to cyanogen's rom,i literally tried EVERYTHING everyone suggested to get my compcache to work, i tried everything i searched on the search bar, even asked in the forums and tried their instructions out, tried out different links and tutorials for 2.7.3 and 2.7.4. for some reason i just ended up with no such file or directory after a cat /proc/system/ramzswap. yes i pushed the xvmalloc.ko and the ramzswap.ko to /system/modules and yes i pushed the userinit.sh to /system/sd along with the chmod etc.. if i am missing something, then idk what it is. if somebody is generous enough to walk me thru this with jachero 2.7.4 i'd appreciate it, i seriously tried every option i was able to find.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Hey man try this...download swap.zip http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=b5968ba08242a052312dbd5f2bdc5062e04e75f6e8ebb871 extract it to a folder....k then make sure ur on ur hero main screen n usb is connected....then run the compcache.bat file....c if tht works...
[G1 Android Development] tonymoreno23:
I'm Anxiously waiting for this to come out of experimental! Flashed it, and setup userinit.sh yesterday, and found Compcache to work quite well @ 77% compression. There was however some lag, but couldn't determine whether or not it had to do with my keeping the Linux Swap Partition simultaneously.

I did toy around with changing the swappiness in ways i hadn't tried before, that being using extreme highs from echo100, to echo10, and everything in between, but still couldn't get the smooth performance i'd experienced with previous releases.

Anyhow, i'm back on 2.7.3 for now..

but wanted to know if anyone who flashed this build yesterday kept it and if so.. how are things running after 24 hours on compcache?
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
Ive been running 24/20 for 2 days now, works like a charm, i found out that running the regular launcher causes the people app to FC .acore, so had to go back to rosie, but its still quick. I think the only change i would make is the cpu scaling. As compcache is more reliant on cpu speed to compress and decompress. The lag can occur when it throttles up to 528 from 245. Setting the OC to 528/528 should solve that but at an expense of battery.

Either way this is not the offical release of hero, so there might be some major fixes in the offical rom in august.
[G1 Android Development] clr822:
should have tried su then cat/proc/ramzswap lol dont know why system was even there

should have left system out of the code in terminal ie.... cat/proc/ramzswap and you would have got it
[G1 Android Development] clr822:
I went back to 2.7.3 myself after a day of compcache my phone started lagging again so I went back to what worked a week while waiting histarically for an update lol
[G1 Android Development] amd85:
I was tempted to dl the 2.74 but i changed my mind because it is still in its experimental status. I am currently using 2.73 and very much happy with it. Everything works like it should, mms, sms, gps, wifi and everything =) with the exception of bt and led. But i can live without that for now since im not using bt at all.

MMS not working on 2.7.3

hmmm i cant send and recieve mms after i downgraded back to 2.7.3 from 2.7.4

any fix? i know i seen it sumwhere before. and yes i did use the "search this thread" but maybe its not working for me..i typed "mms" in search and got...Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms...and i am pretty sure sum1 said mms in a post=\ i just dont know why i am not getting any results.

EDIT: okay i just search "mms" in the dream forum.. and i got the same results.. "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms" so heres another question..why aren't my searches working. searching sumthing as simple as "mms" should get a plethora of results..but i get none =\

JACHero2.7.3 is the Official release as of now. The only official ROMs are those released by Google, HTC, or your phone companies...

There is no release date because these people cook ROMs in their free time, and its hard to put a date on when they will be free and how long it will take them to work it out...
