I have a question. I did this

-set compcache=1

-set cc_backingswap_en=0

-set linux_swap_eanable=0

-set cc_disksize=32

-set cc_memlimit=0

-set linux_swap_en=1

to use compcache with linux swap, but I thought there were adjustments for swappiness, Also what does comcache exactly do?
[G1 Android Development] iso67:
yes! I'd like to change the user.config file, but I don't find it at all neither in system/bin neither in other position. I was looking for it by using astro to explore root (/), should I change file manager or I'm doing something wrong?

what's about a2sd.sh? in /system/bin there is just and a2sd, not a2sd.sh... perhaps astro is not showing the extension .sh? anyway what I should do it? what does it mean pull?

should I create the user.config file and just trow it in the /system/bin directory?

please help me!
[G1 Android Development] stopjockingme@gmail.com:
No need for all that. Just push 1.1 mms.apk and your good to go.

Weather Widget problems and weird UI descisions

Hi

I've finally decided to give Hero another chance after long pause, and flashed JACxHEROv1.2.

It IS the fastest ROM I saw so far.

2 problems that I would like to mention please

1) Removing backgrounds from everything is fine as a concept , but if i'm placing a directory on the screen and opening it, all the applications in it overlapping my current screen , cause there is no background for the directory.

2) Weather Widget refuse to show me weather, neither the Weather Widget nor the Clock Widget that includes the weather - it simply doesn't load any data. Sometimes it gives me the relevant error (No Weather data available), sometimes just ignore me completely.

I've tried using GPS or WIFI , with WIFI it at least show me my city , but still no weather.

I tried some free Weather Widgets from the Market , and they work great , so was the case with older Jac version of Hero , it's the first time I have this problem and I can't think what causing it.

I saw on this Thread that the problem occurs with others as well , but no1 gave a working solution.

Any ideas would be welcome.
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
Weather works fine over here... close it and try it again.. it took a while for mines to connect and update.. but its working now.... or reflash rom..
[G1 Android Development] Loccy:
What he said. Sorry guys, but removing the background on things is a BAD idea, as it makes too many assumptions about how you'll set your device up. I have a "standard" background I always use that makes things look awful. And yes, I can push the older versions of things - but it seems to me that more people would rather they just be left alone. Why not give an additional set of transparent files that can be pushed IF people want it that way and leave the defaults alone?

Try going into the weather application itself, and changing the units from Celsius to Fahrenheit and back again. Worked for me on version 1.0 (which I went back to because I can live without Wifi and I positively have to have Compcache).
[G1 Android Development] iso67:
where I could find the working mms.apk?
[G1 Android Development] tonymoreno23:
i became so use to auto rotate not functioning on these last few hero roms, i didn't even realize it was working with 1.1 when i had it running.

I flashed 1.2 early saturday but found it to be considerably slower than 1.1 just as you did... initially i was able to get the speeds up a little by pulling the a2sd file and changing the echo value from 30 to 60, but....

essentially i found 1.1 to be faster without any additional modifications.

Although, any hero rom i've tried to date has a lifespan of about 14 days before reflash, lol.
[G1 Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
Hmmmmm, I got 'invalid MMI code'... ??

I entered my phone number in the part highlighted RED above.

Edit: Yeeha!! problem fixed, I dailed my VM and got the number, entered that and all was good. :)
[G1 Android Development] tonymoreno23:
here's the mms.apk from v1.1 w/auto rotate!

View attachment Mms(v1.1).zip
[G1 Android Development] danigman:
Wow , it actually worked , which grants this a "stupid of the month" award.

Thanx a lot
[G1 Android Development] iso67:
really thanks a lot! I think I have just to istall it, isn't it true?

I'm thinking to go back to 1.1, that actually I never istalled!

Still struggling to find the user.conf file: how I should look for it? Astro file manager is ok or not?
[G1 Android Development] bigchi2000:
how do you do this via terminal?

Nvm, Im adb savvy now
[G1 Android Development] iso67:
ops.... should I do it via adb and not just istalling it?
[G1 Android Development] bigchi2000:
yes, installing the old mms.apk on your root will not replace the new mms.apk alone, the file should be "pushed" to your rom via adb or terminal
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
I'm surprised people are saying 1.1 is faster than 1.2.

Seems the opposite to me.

No lag at all in 1.2.

Steps I took.

1.use 32 meg swap part. Larger seems faster when phone is on but takes a long time to ring when sleeping.

2.Delete unused HTC widgets from /system/sd/app_s

3.Download spare parts and turn off animations

4.I lowered my browser cache size which seems to have prevented loading screens after long browsing sessions.

5.Use a task manager and periodically kill all processes.

My phone has been perfect for days now. Thank you devs.
[G1 Android Development] bigchi2000:
Or maybe not

Tried changing my swappiness to 60, pulled the file, edited, now I cant push the file, keep gettin a cannot stat /sdcard/a2sd "no file exist" prompt, I clearly have the file on my sdcard renamed, what did I do wrong?
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
You might have to unmount your sdcard.
[G1 Android Development] bigchi2000:
i checked and made sure, sdcard was unmounted, figured out how to push file to rom, but i did something wrong because now my g1 is stuck on the bootscreen, i just wanted to change my swappiness...

adb pull <remote> <local>

edit

adb remount

adb push <local> <remote>

adb shell reboot???
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Take the a2sd file out of your zip file and try to push that back to make sure it is not a change you made causing the boot loop. Your editor could add characters or something. Just a guess.

I always copy it to my c: drive and do the following:

adb push c:\a2sd /system/bin/
[G1 Android Development] strath:
Second this.

1.2 is completely useable for me with changes similar to the above.

I currently have a 64mb swap; not sure this is better or worse, but I don't want to mess with what is working so well now.

I also use Memory for Lemmings. I don't know if it actually does anything, but I feel better :D

Jac, Drizzy, fantastic work. It is really really appreciated.:)
[G1 Android Development] iso67:
still trying to understand where the user.conf file is... may be it is in the sd and not in the phone as I tought... please !
[G1 Android Development] bigchi2000:
super noob question...whats the best way to edit the zip file, using notepad adds characters and anything else doesn't allow me to edit the actual script??
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
The a2sd file is not a zip file. I don't think it has an extension but if it did it would be .sh.

You can open it with wordpad.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Comcache is not supported in 1.2 and I am not sure if it was supported in 1.1. The front page is confusing right now.

If you are using either one of those ROMs then you are probably wasting your time with the user.conf file.
[G1 Android Development] tink-14:
nothing but lag using this is there a better alternative that still has social networking and similar widgets?
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
You should probably post this type of question somewhere else.

I bet if you took the time to follow the steps in the first page you would find that this ROM is not very laggy at all. I would say setup correctly it is almost as fast or faster than stock cupcake.
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
I couldn't agree more.
[G1 Android Development] iso67:
ok! but where is this file? in the phone or in the sd? another member suggested to change it anyway why?

which changes should I make to the a2sd.sh file? where is it?
[G1 Android Development] tink-14:
i followed every step and still kind slow
[G1 Android Development] zole2112:
I agree, I have no lag whatsoever on 1.2, I have done similar changes, 32 mb swap and I'm loving the speed, definitely the best Hero out there!

Always appreciate the work...Drizzy & Jac, a great collaboration!
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
It is not present on the newest ROMs. I have no idea why it would be helpful to change it. If it was present it could be found in /system/bin/ which I just verified in about 30 seconds using the search button. Search word user.conf

Your question about a2sd is too vague. There are several reasons you could want to change it. However, as far as speed goes, stock a2sd works fine. /system/bin/ as well
[G1 Android Development] sunny.ice:
Then you have a very slow SD ...
[G1 Android Development] clownfart:
It's really amazing.

Get something like taskiller and kill all the services and apps you aren't using and then Hero flies and is completely lag free..but just wait a little bit for your phone to sleep..and when you turn it on all those services have started back up again and the phone is laggy.

Even running 3 widgets..clock, weather, and contacts..the phone is lag free when all those unnecessary services are killed. I wish there was a way to make them not start in the first place.
[G1 Android Development] tink-14:
its the sd that came with the phone 2gb
[G1 Android Development] sunny.ice:
Thatone IS very slow. Try to get yourself a Class6-Card and you will be impressed.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
You sound like you fall in the same boat as tink-14. It requires following instructions correctly to get Hero to run smoothly.

Mine is fast, lag free and the only bug that I have currently found is the missing text messages. Not to say other bugs are not out there.

I've been using Hero for about a month now for every day use and the last few releases have actually been completely usable.
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Apple?? Is that you??
[G1 Android Development] jmdrizen:
No need for language like this.

If you don't like the work, don't use it... you're not paying for owt are you!?

REPORTED
[G1 Android Development] timmymarsh:
Ok people, please cool the language, remember the rules and please respect other users.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
LOL - about Apple.

I can't say that I never see a loading screen, but I haven't seen one in at least a day, and I have been playing with my phone quite a bit.

Patience is required to read through suggestions and instructions and set the phone up with very little lag.

I believe it can and will be made faster and less bug free, but I personally enjoy it immensely as it stands.

Thanks again Devs.
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
Hi timmy,

Drizzy here working with JAC on this thread, Can I request a 3day ban for those piling up this thread with trash"or at least a warning that if they continue as is, they will get a 3day ban"

Drizzy...
[G1 Android Development] timmymarsh:
Hi Drizzy,

This thread is already nearly 7000 posts long and impossible to clean up. You will appreciate that this has been tried before (i tried on a Blackstone thread that was nearly 10000 posts long) and new posts were going on faster than they could be deleted, making it virtually impossible to control (was going to use the word police.........:eek:).

If people continue to abuse the rules then of course, but i cannot dish out bans to all spammers.

You do of course have the right to report such spam by the normal methods but there are no guarantees.

Apologies for appearing negative, please feel free to pm me should you wish to discuss this further.:D

Greetz.

[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
did you wipe your ext 3 partition before flashing 1.2?
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
You need to be more specific. What type of issues? I've just tried mine and GPS found my location in a few seconds.

Most problems can be solved by following this pattern on an install:

Wipe

Wipe Ext3 Partition - Instructions all throughout this thread for how to do this.

Wipe again

Flash
[G1 Android Development] GEN3RIC:
Mms.apk broke, and pushing 1.1's over adb failed. It pushed, but it never installed, and I gave up because I was not adb-savvy enough to know what I did wrong. The other things that were broken were.. all of my programs that were 'retained'. I may have been a better build, but frankly I needed to leave and needed my phone to work without hours of trying to fix it. I may attempt 1.2 soon if I can figure out how to push Mms.apk from v1.1 and get it to actually install.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Drizzy has a 1.2 superlite on twitter that may help you. I pushed the Mms.apk from that file since I don't have time to flash it and reset up my phone.

He says it fixes problems with the messaging.
[G1 Android Development] Docavelli:
No issues at all. It gave directions and tracked me to my friends new house today.
[G1 Android Development] tyg15de:
issues being it can never find my location so you say

wipe

ext3 wipe

wipe again

then flash = no problems
[G1 Android Development] iso67:
actually I just installed the same rom on my husband phone and it has the user.conf file. I stil can'y see it from a file manager but from terminal emulator i can see it.

my problem with both (user.conf and a2sd) is that I'm not be able to manage it. I'm now thinking that from terminal I could copy the files from phone to sdcard with cp command, edit the files from the sd and put them back on the phone.... is there any easier way?

I can't admint that I'm not able to do it!
[G1 Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
I have come from Cyanogens builds, I loved those as they were so quick and stable.

I thought I would try this out and I'm really surprised, I have the V3r2 version loaded.

Seriously it is VERY much useable for every day, I get the odd laoding screen (3 per day?) but they don't last long and never get a force close.

EVERYTHING works except for LED's and BT, which are not deal breakers for me.

Overall very pleased, it can't hurt to try it. Do a Nandroid backup and there's no excuse to give it a shot, if it's not for you, just restore the backup you created before flashing.

The ONLY gripe is a missing change log and the confusion over multiple ROM releases...... I get confused easily :D
[G1 Android Development] GEN3RIC:
I have an issue that has been bothering me for a few releases now. I tried using Curvefish's Brightness Level widget and no matter what I do it changes the brightness then it goes right back to 0%.

On the Market Curvefish said "HERO USERS: disable backlight in settings!" but that's sort of confusing because you can't disable backlight. You can turn it down, you can enable light sensor (which disabled brightness) but neither of those work.

What did you guys do to fix this?
[G1 Android Development] danigman:
GPS problems ?

Well , I'm really trying to love this ROM, but the little things still bother me.

My currently hater is GPS - it acts a bit weird, it doesn't find me as easy as in other builds (sometimes only if I start to move) , and , well.... crushes.

I'm checking this feature mostly via Waze navigation program that use GPS and it just stop tracking the course from time to time.

I never had the same problems using other roms and as soon as I flashed Cyanogen back, the problem disappeared.

:(
[G1 Android Development] shorteh:
This has got to be the best Hero build I've have the chance to use YET! Most of the crashes are fixed, and it is now at a comparable speed to cupcake.

Really lovin all the work you guys do on this build! Keep up the good work!

I would love to hear some of the secrets that regular hero rom users use to make your phone stable. I always start with a fresh card using parted create all 3 partitions and start from scatch Fat32 ext3 and linux swap I can never keep these hero roms running over 3 days I started testing these roms a month ago with hero fatality rom all the way through 2.7.3 and drizzy's NV3r2

always using just a couple of apps. 2 screens a clock and people widget. hero is a beautiful rom. and I thank the devs for it!
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
no need to rewipe if you already did before flashing...

reflash the same rom, and gps will work, thats how i fixed mine
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
I've been on 1.1 since it came out with no lagging. Usually by day two it starts to slow down. Not with this version!

I of course started with fresh next 3. Only running flip clock with weather. And have not had a single load screen yet!

Best hero ROM to date.

Great work guys!
[G1 Android Development] 13bjunkie:
Loving the speed with 1.2

So far only problem I have is the icon overlap when using folders.

And auto-rotate in sms app.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
That combination is the most likely for a no problem setup.

However, it would not fix a bug that was part of the actual build.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
If it is there you can either use adb or root explorer (from market) or terminal commands.

Using adb do the following:

adb pull /system/bin/user.conf c:\

adb pull /system/bin/a2sd c:\

Edit both with wordpad. As I said I have no idea what you are trying to accomplish

adb push c:\user.conf /system/bin/

adb push c:\a2sd /system/bin/

Using root explorer do the following (I assume anyway, never use it):

Make sure /system/bin/ is mounted as r/w

Copy /system/bin/user.conf to /sdcard

Copy /system/bin/a2sd to /sdcard

Mount the sdcard and edit the two files using wordpad.

Unmount the sdcard

Copy /sdcard/user.conf to /system/bin/

Copy /sdcard/a2sd to /system/bin

I am not sure if you would have to remount /system/bin/ as read/write or not so I am going to leave terminal commands alone. I always use adb.
[G1 Android Development] rivryan:
will landscape sms/mms be fixed in the new update? How do you "push" the old mms.apk from 1.1 to 1.2? (without using adb cuz i dunno what that is...) I tried downloading the .apk from 1.1 and when i tried to install it, the only option was "uninstall" :confused:
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
I think you need to find out what ADB is.

Do a search for "ADB for dummies"

https is working or maybe not, it loaded the first page for m.facebook, but when i tried to go to another page in facebook it came up with an error for some reason the url changed to http://x.facebook.com
[G1 Android Development] CPR123:
Yes this build is fast but can't work without WiFi
[G1 Android Development] rikupw:
WIFI? heres a fix!

FOR ALL YOU WITHOUT WIFI, just pull wlan.ko from /system/lib/modules/ in 2.4r2, worked great for me :)

not sure why, but the md5sum is diff, maybe it had to do with the https thing ? *shrugs* great work jac, this is one of the better ones!

unzip the jac2.4r2 update, look in system > lib > modules > wlan.ko

cp it to your desktop

ADB: (you don't have to even worry about rebooting, it works immediately after you push the file)

change to the directory you have put it, and type:

adb remount

adb push wlan.ko /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko

adb shell sync

FOR TERMINAL:

put the wlan.ko in the root of your sdcard

su

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

cp /sdcard/wlan.ko /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko

reboot your system (actually it worked instantaniously for me,

So I formatted everything and re-flashed the ROM and it works pretty well. My only problem is with the flip/clock weather widget. When I call it up, it looks like:

No actual weather graphics. I can click on where the graphic is supposed to be and I get the regular HTC weather thing with the graphics, but it will not display on the widget. Any ideas anyone?
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
You either need to push the weather apk from the previous build or reboot the phone. I just pushed a different weather.apk and it works fine now.
[G1 Android Development] zole2112:
I have a similar set up to you, I also reformat my sd card everytime I flash. I did finally get rid of my people widget, it was a major source of delay for me. Now I have the messages, weather and calendar widgets and am pretty much delay free.

is it possible to do this without adb? and if so how? and do you just push the folder called lockscreen? it seems to just be the lockscreen backgrounds. i'm looking in the 2.7.3 build. what file do i need? sorry for all the questions. i really like the speed of the rom, just not too keen on the "3D" or the new lockscreen, i like the curved bar =)thanks
