not a complaint but may help development.

maybe i just messed up in reinstalling but heres the details.

i am using the JACHero 2.7.3 full which i upgraded from 2.7.2

i went into cyanogen 1.3.1 recovery, alt+f but then it said to go into console and e2fsck. I didnt know exactly what it meant so i alt+x and entered e2fsck. a bunch of stuff came up. then i recovery rebooted. Alt+f again and it fixed the files, then i alt+w and alt+s.

now 2.7.3 is really smoother then before, it's awesome, and faster too. I thought it be very hard to even upgrade it anymore other than no loading times. but sometimes when i check my text messages it turns black screen only. and sometimes browsing the web makes my phone lock up. eventually it locked up and i left it alone, next thing i pull my phone out of my pocket and its loading the boot up Hero screen over and over, i took out my battery. turned it back on. G1 screen and into a black screen for very long, then i restarted went into recovery mode, and was trying to reflash but i didnt even get a chance to. i went into console alt+x, and had a failed attempt to connect to my labtop. then i just typed recovery. i rebooted again with no flash and everything is good to go again for some reason.

Noticeably it starts to lag and lock up when i slide into landscape mode during certain things like browsing the internet. also it started after i turned on animation in sound and display settings for transitioning.

ok i guess the difference between mine and urs is u used ADB....i never got the drivers to install in vista..but i got adb anstall etc....spent sometime trying to uninstall m$ drivers etc but no luck getting them to force install.

thanks for advice
[G1 Android Development] DoCunnin2:
go into locale in settings touch input settings and click off for in keyboard or touch screen you can also turn off vibration which will save battery.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
you complain WAY TOO MUCH.

1. delete the boot mp3 file if you dont want to hear it - /system/media/

2. you can REMOVE these BY YOURSELF thru adb / terminal codes (search it)

3. its still a bug that will be taken care of after JAC gets BT / LED Lights fixed the camera isn't a major "priority"

4. you can install those yourself, he isn't gonna give YOU everything that YOU WANT.

5. MMS works for everyone try reflashing this build.

6. your slow go read the first post (LED has never worked on any hero build still being fixed so stop complaining...

7. your a dumbass once again go read this thread again a KNOWN issue. :mad:

please read before posting something stupid, which other members are gonna PWN you on....

have a nice day. and i was trying to be nice :D
[G1 Android Development] DoCunnin2:
I'll be back in 10 days cause i am imature and have to swear, thinking it get my point across.
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
+1 Well said Johnny!

This is a great Rom and if people would just read things would be so much easier!!
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
Well i definitely need pdfviewer and its much easier to just delete it than put it in. I think you should focus more on general bugs than little things that have an easy fix
[G1 Android Development] DoCunnin2:
yea i guess i was just stating personally, being that there have been so many updates, i wasnt sure how many people would be using it. i would think that would be with more of a stable build.
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
You can always tell how good a build is going by how long of a stretch of time goes by with no posts. As I think we've had our longest day time lull in the last 5 days (10 mins), I'd have to say this build is working pretty well for almost everyone. :) Thanks again to all the devs that are continously working on this and to all the members that have (barely) lost their cool helping everyone asking the same 5 questions page after page.
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
i dont even know why they bothered developing teeter, just a horrible game. oregon trail is all you need ;)

On a side note i ran the g sensor calibration last night and it worked, when did that start working?

iduno i never tired it ima take a look at it in a sec....im still tripn of JohnnyBOY.

I guess his first reaction was to just call me a noob,dumbass, and watever else that was. LOL he told me to READ!!! if he only knew

WHo said take out the lockscreen,background of JAc etc.....SMH
[G1 Android Development] stevemartin1991:
I am still gettin messages fc which is pissing me off I have searched the post for advice i have asked 7 times now how to fix this problem and with my usual luck of life I get no replies. As I've said b4 I don't have adb can some1 explain how 2 fix it? Thanks 2 any replies although I expect 0
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
Search this forum Mms.apk /.odex - It's been covered every 20pgs or so
[G1 Android Development] xenoaurora:
So it has happened twice today. I put my phone in my pocket and go on with my day. I pull it and and see "the process system has unexpectedly stopped. Please try again. And it is an infinite number of those. Ive clicked to see if i can get thorugh them. and eventually the calendar, and acore, and a bunch of others start tossing up errors. The only way i can get it to stop is powering down and logging back in. Then its fine till its off for a while again.

I dont know if its something i installed or what. Any suggestions. I did a fresh reformat on the card, and a wipe and install.

Didn't know you were taking care of this.......um i think he is gonna take a 10 day vacation to cool off, ok with you?
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
Hrm, doesn't seem to be your fault. I just tried searching and nothing came back for mms. I think the search this thread link isn't working right at the moment. Essentially what you have to do is delete the Mms.apk/.odex files off of your G1, and then extract them from the Rom on your computer and push them back onto your phone.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
Actually i've been having those "proces system errors" also mainly after when i mount my sdcard on my computer, and when my phone stays idle / sleep mode for a while. I haven't seen it awhile since im on 2.7.1 but i would suggest not "mounting" your sdcard lol thats all i can help you with :/

i also did a fresh wipe of my data / ext2 and a fresh install i still get it here and there guess thats one of the "downside" of having a rom that wasn't meant for our device but its worth it i guess lol.
[G1 Android Development] free-sidux:
+1

it would also be nice to be able to use two languages for the suggestions. Or a quick switch.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
Thanks alot of dealing with that "e-thug" appricate it, his foul language and attitude isn't welcomed here on XDA. :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] seanhassars:
MMS force closes can be resolved by going to settings, applications and uninstalling messaging. then you take the mms.apk out of the update.zip, and used adb to install ala "adb install [directory you've placed apk]/Mms.apk and you should be good to go.
[G1 Android Development] salamandar:
A small suggestion, please state Bluetooth status on the main page (my apologies if its there and i missed it), its the sole thing keeping many people from trying this ROM, and if it was clear on the front page you'd save alot of silly posts like this askin' 8).

No Offense intended, your work rocks JAC!
[G1 Android Development] Phawkes:
hey I was finally able to partition my sd card using the terminal and sdsplit. Only thing is after flashing the new hero rom I thought it would come with apps to SD, shouldnt the phone storage be higher than 28MBs? it should be that and what I partitioned correct? or is it done in the background or something? any clue on whats going on?
[G1 Android Development] xenoaurora:
Ha ha true. Actually now that you mention it i think thats what is cuasing it is the mounting. Botht ime i took my phone off and stuck it in my pocket. and then a while like that. I havnt had it do it on its own yet. Im running 2.7.3 full. And yes it worth it i just wonder how it will handle a call when its forclosing.. i dont know how much i would appreciate having to restart my phone every call!
[G1 Android Development] BkBasm:
That also happens to me when I "end all" in Advanced Task Manager. If you have it on auto end all, stop it right there because that's probably what's causing the error. I guess it closes a vital system process and it interferes with something else.
[G1 Android Development] stevemartin1991:
I can't delete the app from settings/applications.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
buy the app "root explorer" you can delete ANY app or ANY file on your G1 trust me its worth it.

every ROOT USER must have this app.

http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
yeah it does suck but i can live without mounting my sdcard cause i can always adb and mount my sdcard.

i CONFIRM this also, everytime i "end all" i get a system process error slightly after, so just don't end all.

[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
Did you download the slowSD version? That one will have everything moved to the SD. If you are using the regular version make sure you have your ext2/3 as the 2nd partition.
[G1 Android Development] Phawkes:
yeah I got the slow version because I currently have a 2GB memory card, and its not class 6, so i figured thats what it was for. I dont seem to be getting stuff on my SD though because I downloaded a few apps and it seems my memory decreased. If I get the normal version how do I make the ext2 my second partition? Sry if these are noob questions
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
just restart and then it should automatically move all the files to the SD Card, and you should get your space back. :D

clear partition

OK, every time a new version of this build comes out- i re flash.

However, i don't know how to actually re-format the ext3, and Swap partition...

besides using paragon, which i have issues with.......

so instead... i delete the partition from the recovery, and make it from scratch every single time... i was wondering if this is dangerous to my SD card.

Well, actually I'm almost certain it is!

what i really want to know is if there is a way to "clear" ext3/Linux swap partitions in preparation for a new flash from

the recovery console

,

and if so, what are the commands?
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
to format, just do adb rm -r /system/sd/*
[G1 Android Development] MRPARABK718Xx:
yu dont need 2 touch the linux-swap!.

and if yu have paragon is very easy 2 reformat your ext3.
[G1 Android Development] sd2649:
I also have 2.7.3 slow sd installed and have i think the same question as the previous poster.... If i check my storage space with "tmobile my account" it states just 23mb available, but if I check it with the "system monitor" app off of the app store, it says I have 816mb os system storage??????

What is a definitve way to tell how much storage I gave and if the apps2sd is working properly?? I restarted my phone, and i still get the SAME results.

PS I have an 8gb class 4 micro sd card
[G1 Android Development] bodyman:
i have ext4 on my phone, does this support that?
[G1 Android Development] BlackElvis79:
Thinking about it, I don't think the real htc hero device rotates on the home screen. Because of the size of alot of the widgets, ie: clock, people, large calender, large twitter, plus what ever apps you might happen to have on the screen. They wouldn't fit in landscape, or they'd squished and I don't think it would look all that hot either.
[G1 Android Development] Jceezy:
Just type

su

lucid -c

in terminal not in recovery before you reboot into recovery to flash the update
[G1 Android Development] bodyman:
How much space do you have on your sdcard for apps? the 816 is the combined total of phone/sdcard space (/data and /sd combined)
[G1 Android Development] Phawkes:
what exactly will this do for him? Will this mean you can flash without worrying about your partitions messing up or having to do anything to them as long as you do this first?
[G1 Android Development] sd2649:
i am not sure what you are asking???? i have 3 partitions, the ext3, linux-swap and the fat32 portion for storage..... the ext3 should be where the apps go, right? and it is....500mb or so??? I don't have but 20 or so apps installed, totalling 40 megs MAX

Well i have succesfully added a new clock to this build thanks to Nismo and to g1junky for signing the updates and all their help heres a screenshot to make you drool

Here is the SLOW SD and the regular versions with the clock all you have to do is scroll through the HTC clock widgets to the second to last one there will be no preview but select it an ta da this clock hope you all like i do let me know what you think I edit the clock its the first one I've done :cool:

IMPORTANT THESE ARE FULL BUILDS YOU HAVE TO WIPE AND FLASH THEM

Regular build

Slow_SD

[G1 Android Development] Jceezy:
That's a command in terminal to clear the ext partition using the lucid script that comes in the system with the roms
[G1 Android Development] ths_:
2.7.3 Full is definately the fastest Hero rom I've played with after I set the min CPU to 527mhz (much less menu lag after this).

I did a fresh format of my ext3 and linux-swap partitions, wiped and installed.

Well done devs!
[G1 Android Development] guyverunit:
it's because there's no real keyboard on the Hero.
[G1 Android Development] BohicaBobby:
"low on space"

I just flashed my G1 and now I keep getting "low on space" in my notifications (even after rebooting), I have over three gig left on both my fat32 partition and my linux partition.

How can I get rid of this message?
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
U sure you have ext2 partiton?

@r_dub nice clock u made!
[G1 Android Development] BohicaBobby:
yep. i've installed other roms many times before. this is the first time i've encountered this issue.
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Thanks I plan on adding the rest of the se clocks to the build later
[G1 Android Development] KennySmoothx:
Hmm which would you say is faster 2.73 or 2.63??
[G1 Android Development] Swirlycurly:
I am having the same problem as everyone else with the wallpapers. I have changed my lock screen but my wallpaper will not change. It says my wallpaper has been changed but it is still the JACHero one. Is there any way to fix this so I can change my main wallpaper?

do it boy. :p

[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
damn i feel so naked without my g1 lol.. any of you guys might still guess what happened to my phone? idk what mightve happened because the battery was extremely hot also.. and when i put my dads battery for his g1 in like the phone made a sizzling sound lol..
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
i made the replacement a while ago this morning and they said it will be here within 7 buisness days lol.. when do you think it might get here? hopefully monday?
[G1 Android Development] KennySmoothx:
Damn ur g1 got ****ed!? what were you doing man? And they said 7 business days for me too, 2 weeks ago.. they have their factory or w.e in Georgia and idk where else but im in south florida and it got here in 3 days.
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
You dont need to overclock
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
I agree, i actually saw a speed increase after taking the overclock off.
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
2.73 is slower than 2.71 for me
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Your not doing something right. It is DEF not slower.
[G1 Android Development] MRPARABK718Xx:
true. ext3_linux-swap enuff :).
[G1 Android Development] MRPARABK718Xx:
he probably dont have 1 of the partions correct!.
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Exactly right.
[G1 Android Development] MRPARABK718Xx:
uM i was abOut 2 switch to 2.63.lOL.

IDk it was really fast when i had it felt like i had the OG rom.:p

bUt i formated my ext2 to a ext3 and same with linux-swap.

and now 2.73 is def faster.
[G1 Android Development] j8dailo:
when you say "**Please do NOT use userinit.sh for Swap it is already done in this build and that will cause you to have swap issues"

when i first start up i get /init trying to get root access so do i deny it or always allow?
[G1 Android Development] mickeycobra04:
do you have to follow the steps on the very first page or can i just paragon, partition my sd to ext2?
[G1 Android Development] tonymoreno23:
2.7.3 is def. the fastest build i've tried yet.

Although i must admit, the 32mb swap partition wasn't cutting it!

Happy at 64mb swap partition over here! *echo 30*

nothing manually removed,

not having to sacrifice one widget for another.

If there was anything i could change, it would be getting mms.apk to work in landscape mode. i miss that a little!
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
ok well here's my setup point me in the right direction.

I followed everything in the first page for the 4gb setup except I created a 64mb swap.

I have it set to 30.

and I cleaned out the ext2 partition by doing mount /system/sd rm -rf /system/sd/

and then wiped and then reflashed.

(note I didn't have ext3 setup in 271) and it was Fast.
[G1 Android Development] johnp888:
Give it a few hours/days before coming to conclusion that 64mb swap is better. I tried 64mb and it was fine for a few hours, but after that things started getting extremely laggy. Phone calls would just not connect in time. I think JAC was right, the g1 can't handle that much swap. I'm hoping compcache may be the way to go. I am trying approx 40mb know and this seems to be more responsive than 64mb. Good luck though.
[G1 Android Development] tonymoreno23:
i flashed this last night, and it's still moving smoothly approx 24hours later.

But, i did experience exactly what you're talking about with swap 96mb.
[G1 Android Development] MRPARABK718Xx:
yes yu i can.

das wat i do.

and das wat i use.
[G1 Android Development] dragon4000:
I use paragon to partition my ext2 and to wipe as well...
[G1 Android Development] bigslanki:
so its ok to say "your a dumbass" i need this guy to get banned too lol

Doesnt look right at all
[G1 Android Development] KEMC:
paragon worked perfeclty to me for the 3 partitions :D, no need to follow steps, do the partitions in paragon
[G1 Android Development] dragon4000:
When trying to use paragon for the linux-swap partition, the lowest size is 70 mb... What version are you running for paragon?? I'm using ver 9.0
[G1 Android Development] MRPARABK718Xx:
yea dats good choose dat.

das wat i did it got me mad thO,i couldnt put 64MB.bUt it works anyways.

v9.0
[G1 Android Development] bigslanki:
if u have cyn 1.3.1 u can ALT+x and do the format and creation of all partitions and swap....

if u dont want to move your FAT32 files just type

#parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

this will enter you into gnu parted

after in Parted type

#print

it should list your partitions etc

looking sumthing like this

1 fat32 0 5000MB 5gb

2 ext3 5000 5762MB 762mb

3 linux-swap 5762 5995 32mb

typing

#rm 1 (fat32)

#rm 2 (ext3)or ext2

#rm 3 linux-swap

will remove each partition for edit.

to only format the ext3

type

#rm 2

mkpartfs primary ext2 5000 5762

this will create ext 2 atthe size of 762(which is too big) size should be around 300-600mb

(note that the sdcard size is 6gb)

after this is done it will come back to the #

type

#quit or exit

then type

#upgrade_fs

this will upgrade ext2 into a ext3 system........

now your ready to flash update.zip from recovery
[G1 Android Development] Dyonas:
I come here hoping for help, I saw the information on the Hero firmware being available and felt like trying to root and update my G1 (UK) for the first time. I went through a few guides but it confused me a little at first when it didn't work until I realised most guides are going by US firmware. I found the RC7 firmware flashed and managed to root the phone with no issues after that.

After that I went to update the radio and SPL, in that order. The radio update went ok but after I flashed the SPL my phone wouldn't go past the "G1 T-Mobile" screen. I let it sit for a good few minutes with no change but I still had access to the recovery console and the bootloader so I reflashed the RC7 firmware. Perhaps I was too quick to reflash but at that point I was worrying I'd bricked my phone.

I realise this isn't for "noobs", I'm new to rooting and flashing the G1 but I'm technically minded and can follow instructions with some ability to troubleshoot even if I'm not familiar with everything but there are conflicting "How To" guides based on location and other criteria.

What am I posting for? I guess part is wondering if there's a simplified, step-by-step guide on what to do, preferably with screenshots. The other part would be wondering why there aren't clear warnings that a given tutorial is for X territory G1. It's probably due to the fact most G1 users will be based in the USA but not all of them. I know the step-by-step has been done more than a few times but the two I found on rooting were quite old and things change.
