mostlikely not because the framework apk (all the phones images) are optimized (theyr smaller, smaller= faster), and not to mention the phones media (ringtones ect) are now moved to sd.

Flashing the rom now, will post updates in a few...

Anyone care to confirm the SMS issue has been fixed definitely. Receiving 100% of all SMSes? Can't afford to even miss one.
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
hows the overall performance? im not allowed to download anything on my cousins laptop so im using my phone to download the file so its a bit slow. so i havent flashed it yet.
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
double post. my bad
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
phone rebooted after it hit the activation screen pretty wierd.

rebooting now. lets hope this time it works
[G1 Android Development] jenarobfreaky:
No its nothing special. I pushed launcher from 2.2.1 that was the last build that had it. No swapper because it freezes up my phone sometimes. So I threw that out of the window. My class 4 card cannot handle it.

Thanks to all developers who put work into making this Rom possible.

Is anyone posting in this thread from Austin Texas? Also after I figure out how to potition the card ext/3 do I need to install anything else on the card other than the update.zip file to make this rom work?
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
this is the fastest hero rom ive used, no lag no htc screen, check out the settings im using in my sig if you want to try it out. thers also have been no forcecloses either, im running flip clock widget, contact widget toggle widgets bookmark widget and sms widget and everything is insanely fast.

Does anyone have any ideas on why I'm stuck in a loop? I would appreciate some input instead of being ignored. I tried searching, but nothing really relevent came up. Hell, if you could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE THIS IS A NEWW THREAD YOUR QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED EVERYWHERRE!!!!! KEEEP THIS ONE CLEANNN

ok now that im done typing in caps.

++please search the previous thread, 2.3.5

++you need the latest radio and spl if you havent got that already, flash the radio first, spl 2nd, you need to do that in this order or else you'll have a bricked phone. There is a thread on how to do this, its in the developers forum under "lets fix that spl" make sure you have a pvt board and if you have more questions reguarding this please use search or do research before asking questions thanks.

++you also might want to get cyanogens recovery, that will b quite useful aswell.
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
Try wiping, reflashing atleast twice, if that doesnt work redownload and try again. Make sure you hav a ext2 OR ext3 partition (this is important) Also verify that you have the latest radio and spl, you can do this by booting up in bootloader mode (search the forum on this, this is very simple)

One those are confirmed and its still not working, wipe and flash cyanogens 3.6.x, start it upp all the way, sign in ect, then turn it off wipe and install JACHeros rom and it should the work, if that doesnt work after that, apply the update once more.
[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
May I contact you reguarding this Phone I am having all kind of problems.
[G1 Android Development] alexjzim:
those methods (although good) wouldnt evn work if he was running 2.3.5 or 2.3.6(not r2). those two builds have been known to cause major bootloops. 2.3.3 works, and im testing out 2.3.6r2.

now to gtrplr -- make sure when u post, provide information about what you are using...or just PM some1 for direct help
[G1 Android Development] LvDisturbed1:
Will do that. I have the ext3 partition already. I've been using The Dudes Cupcake with apps2sd. I'm gonna try flashing cyanogens. That is the only piece of advice you gave that I have not done. Hopefully...it works.
[G1 Android Development] Ted417:
Hero's pretty badass... but I'm using the SuperHero v3... I made one BIG mistake during the process... I forgot to wipe... BUT!... it still works like a dream(other than BT/LED/Weather Widget)... no lag... no HTC screen(only time is when I first booted which lasted a few seconds)... but... I'm going back to Cyanogens because of Bluetooth... pretty nice though... :)

EDIT: eh... found a lilbit of problems... flash 9 sucks... CNN doesnt use it anymore... and... I got an SMS... and it came from the future... approximately 4 minutes ahead of my time... lol... yeah... for sure I'm switching back to Cyanogens :P.
[G1 Android Development] :
What's your setup? do you have apps2sd?

-If so make sure you wipe your partition before you flash

-If ext3 isn't working right try ext2

-if you can mount your ext partition after you flash, make sure it is still intact (mine kept corrupting :-/)

Those are all the things that gave me problems. I just decided to keep apps on internal for stabilty..
[G1 Android Development] lamaravish:
has anyone found a way to fix SMS issues?
[G1 Android Development] mccurt29:
A Few ?s

do we have to wipe everytime we want to install jac or drizzy updates

if not usually when they have an update their making the file a smaller size or optimizing the files so are the old files being deleted automatically or resized

#2

after we wipe do we have to reinstall the SPL & RADIO everytime

cuz @ 1 point i was but then i stopped but the roms still work

#3

how come i cant set the home wallpaper

#4

how come i get an error page everytime i try to log into something like myspace,facebook destop versions,bank of america mobile..FORUM PAGES WORK THO

#5

how can i sync my yahoo account i only can get gmail which i dont use

#6

what should the open overclock & over clock widget be set to for a smooth running of the rom
[G1 Android Development] johnp888:
So is there a reason why when updating JACHero versions i have to start my setup from scratch all the time? basically it feels like a wipe every time i upgrade. only thing that is still the same are the apps don't disappear, i assume that's because they are on the sd partition. perhaps that gaurantees a successful upgrade. not a huge deal but it's getting tedious to redo my screens all the time. especially since JAC updates his ROM almost every day! hehe. thanks for the great work though! :D
[G1 Android Development] stelephonic:
most likely missing new radio or spl - i thought i had them installed - but you need to go through the process step by step and that means more reboots. just start your phone in fastboot to see wether you have latest spl / radio

SMS Issue

Awesome ROM, but I'd like to add a +1 on the SMS issues.

From sending a bunch of test ones, I didn't get the first 2, but the next 6 came through ok. Didn't seem to matter if I was at the home screen or not.

EDIT:

Testing a bit further, it seems SMS messages go missing while the phone is busy - maybe related to swap activity?

(this is on 2.3.3, I've not had chance to try 2.3.6 yet)
[G1 Android Development] SolemnWishing:
I just sent myself 3 messages via AOL instant messenger, none were received.

I'm using 2.3.5, the collab version. Hmm... when can we expect to see launcher back in these?
[G1 Android Development] phaze478:
I read the first 6 or so pages but I guess nobody else had this problem.

When I try to sign in to my google account setup wizard force closes and I can't sync my contacts, or calendar

What should I do? Is there a terminal command I can use or should I reflash?
[G1 Android Development] SolemnWishing:
Alright, im going back to Haykuro 6.0.1 until SMS issue is resolved..
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
You don't need an ext2 AND an ext3 it wouldn't do you any good.

The only reason you'd need a third partition is to set up a linux-swap partition (Which btw completely eliminated loading screens for me)

I would recommend getting a Ubuntu live-cd and creating a new partition table and doing fat32 / ~500 ext3 / 32 - 64 linux swap

JACHero 2.6.3 automatically uses a separate linux swap partition
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
You could always have a backup 1gb already partitioned that has Cyanogen's newest rom ready to flash. Then you'd be set until you got a new decent card.
[G1 Android Development] anddep:
dont kno if someone posted this.. but i get a force close when tryin to call stright from the text message. it worked good on the past builds but not on 2.36.. just lettin ya know im not in no rush on fixing it

diceman and toeshot,

reformatted and reflashed. went thru partition manager since I have no clue what to do with ubuntu. so far, with about 15 apps, I have 84 mb of internal memory.

ill prob use 3-4 screens and leave 2 empty.

so far, battery life seems to have improved, went on youtube and flash is working, but dont know what other sites to test for flash.

thanks for the help people...this site has helped me alot with tmobilenews, phandroid, etc.
[G1 Android Development] komposure85:
I have update my rom to 2.63....I'm running with ext3 and linux-swap (96mb). I also changed the swappiness setting to 48 (I will be changing to 60 soon since that is the default setting). I've been running this setup for about 8 hours now and I'm experiencing very little lag when accessing apps, etc. I am not overclocking and I not experienced a single loading screen. For testing purposes I have included the largest widgets on all of the pages.

Hopefully this configuration helps those who may be on the fence about trying to configure the G1 (with the sd card) to setting very comparable to those in the Hero device.
[G1 Android Development] mikeyman77:
Is anyone using Launcher on 2.63? If so, how did you get it to work. For some reason its not working for me, but I can see it in /data/app.
[G1 Android Development] AndroidFiend:
this Rom is running well all i gotta do now is partition my sd also do you have to have ext3 or can you just put ext2

if i put ext3 would it also download apps onto the sdcard?
[G1 Android Development] komposure85:
you can have either ext2 or ext3 both will work fine.....IMO ext3 works better and yes they will allow for apps to be downloaded to the sd card.......after you install and reboot this will take place
[G1 Android Development] toeshot:
Here are a couple of links for the differences between ext2 and ext3

My Hero ROM(http://altepeter.com/justanotherdev/JACHero2.3.6.zip)wont stick my wallpaper for some reason…the lockscreen will show it but not my wallpaper from g1wallz.com wont load and stick to Home. I also cant load one from the wallpaper gallery either error “TouchFLO stopped unexepectedly-Force close”. Any Ideas…..please help or point me in the right direction? Thanks for any help in advance.
[G1 Android Development] larryhi:
what I would do I would pick a nearby city to see if it fixes it, I live in Chula Vista, CA but I use San Diego, CA for my phone.
[G1 Android Development] SolemnWishing:
Anyone else like me? I simply just stopped using TouchFLO and use the default launcher. Its fast :D
[G1 Android Development] larryhi:
you can try to remove widgets from your home screen and then change the wallpaper, I couldn't change my wallpaper either but I read somewhere in this thread to try that, and it worked for me.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
why would the phone be overclocked to 528.. doesent the phone run better at 384?
[G1 Android Development] SolemnWishing:
what??? does it really?? Im running default launcher but I always have it at 528Mhz.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Well Hero does anyway. with that linux swap file and i deleted apps with root explorer.. ohh boy :D
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
How do you run the default launcher? And how is different than TouchFLO?
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Default launcher is just the home screen in cupcake builds. You have to go clear the defaults in the TOuchFLO application and then press home. Then it will allow you to select whether you want to use TouchFLO or Launcher :D
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
Ah can you still add Hero widgets to the home screen though?
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Nope, the widgets are dependent on the TouchFLO UI
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
LINUX-SWAP?

Can someone explain what was the purpose of me adding a linux-swap partition to my memory card? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
its like adding more memory to the g1
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
oh okay thanks, and would no why i'm still getting "loading" screens?
[G1 Android Development] chabsie:
Linux-Swap SIZE

Is it better to have the linux-swap partition at 32mb than a bigger size? Ive got 32 now and when I get into heavier memory usage I start seeing the htc and loading screen a lot. Its lightning fast before it gets there though.

I've been reading mixed opinions- some say 32 is optimal, others say 96 is... whats the best?
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
I need a Class 6 card to do all of this linux swap stuff lmao.
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
could be alot of things...are you on class 6 sd? did u setup all 3 partitions?
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
Ah and I just noticed swapper isn't used anymore in these newer builds.
[G1 Android Development] jaygajay:
Had something of a similar problem and this is wat I did.

From adb

adb shell rm -r /data/data/com.htc.provider.weather/*
adb shell rm -r /data/data/com.htc.dcs.service.weather/*
adb shell reboot

From Terminal

su
rm -r /data/data/com.htc.provider.weather/*
rm -r /data/data/com.htc.dcs.service.weather/*

Reboot your phone.
[G1 Android Development] dweller88:
I finally did app2sd/swapper and have got a good working hero for the first time (previously the lag was unusable) and partitioned the sd using Cyanogens new 1.3.1 recovery,

worked really smoothly and easily. I tried partitioning with other methods before without success. This really is a great and simple method.

I did a nandroid backup first of course.

Now with JAC 2.63 all is working apart from the fact my contacts haven't synced with my google account.

I'll give it a reboot and see if that switches it into gear.

I'll also have to reinstall my backed up apps and see how they run.

My sd is a sandisk but not class 6 so I'm just testing, but so far so good :)

Cheers !!!
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
How do you get swapper in 2.63??
[G1 Android Development] jaygajay:
Well it's been said not to use a bigger size than 32mb because you r phone might start to lag. But people are trying to contemplate if this is just for swap file and not for the swap partition.

For me personally I use 96mb (although 64mb should be just fine) and I don't see one load screen or any lag. It's super quick that it's just crazy.
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
There's no auto rotate in 2.63?

You set up a 3rd partition on your sd card as a linux-swap partition.

[G1 Android Development] Chance Ill:
you could download it from the market, but it is not necessary for 2.6 as linux-swap ext takes its place
[G1 Android Development] Chance Ill:
yes, for certain apps

Thanks. Is there anything risky about deleting + resizing my linux-swap partition without wiping or making any other changes?
[G1 Android Development] Gorguts:
Question

Why do people insist that any of these HERO roms are fast. Every single 1 I flash runs the same. This one honestly ran the slowest so far. What gives????
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
well how are u setting it up?...did u try slowSd version??
[G1 Android Development] jaygajay:
Well if you delete and resize it then u shouldn't have to wipe anything because nuttin for the phone is stored on that partition.
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
unless you have extra mb that arent accounted for already by one of the 3 partitions, resizing your linux partition through the console will mean resizing at least one of the other partitions (the one you are taking the memory from) so yeah it could mean just reformatting and wiping and reflashing.

But you can use adb to resize with no side effects:

[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
Is there anyway to get the messaging app to auto-rotate?
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
i believe it has to do with the brand but i also think as a rule of thumb the higher the class the more capable the card. Although, like you, there exist users who have no problems with the stock card. Thats all i really know about it...
[G1 Android Development] Dror520:
Really? I have the SlowSD with the stock SD and it's pretty fast ... did you try both?
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
Im sure it will be in an upcoming updated release
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
I have a class 2 sd card and it still runs pretty fast. Thing that I did was use l3wish's rosie. The rosie included in this is ~650 kb, other one is ~300 :)
[G1 Android Development] jaygajay:
You would have to push back the newer MMS.apk for that although it seems as if this is why people aren't receiving some of their SMS's.
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
Yeah I am running the regular 2.63 and it is faster than SlowSD on my stock card.
