idk if it just me but this rom is moving very slow for some reason...alot of freezing on the home screen when changing screens
[G1 Android Development] alexjzim:
which rom?

please people, be specific
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Ohhh...that ROM?
[G1 Android Development] JWallstreet:
Currently running build 3.61 w/o Rosie. This build is the fastest for me so far. I am enjoying the Microsoft Exchange Support and new dialer. I normally use CM 3.6.5 and this build is almost as fast, except for the SMS application takes about a fraction of a second longer to load. Awesome work guys!

Found a bug with MMS:

Can not send or download messages.

Configuration

4 gb class 6

Swapper 32/10

Overclock - min 245 max 528 (default)
[G1 Android Development] alexperkins:
2.61 seems to be missing multitouch in the browser. Can the browser.apk be pushed from 2.4 or will it cause a kernel problem?
[G1 Android Development] bradwombo:
Here is a log of what happened. I have had a look through and can see some errors but I am not sure what to do.

http://pastebin.com/m6025e67a

Thanks for teaching me that too, I might have to play with adb more.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
the kernel is what the multi-touch is embed into.
[G1 Android Development] MoB-HeArT:
r2.61.....
[G1 Android Development] djdeviance:
3.61 or 2.61?
[G1 Android Development] alexperkins:
2.61 my apologies! Its been a long day at work
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
does 2.5 have the same mms.apk as 2.6.1?
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
2.6.1 has the old Mms.apk from JAChero 1.72 which is more faster in speed, and should fix the problem of people missing SMS / MMS
[G1 Android Development] ths_:
I can't wait until this rom is fast like Cyanogen's cupcake. Until then, I wait. :(
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
It already is.
[G1 Android Development] MoB-HeArT:
And I don't know if this was answered But

Anyway to fix bluetooth so it would turn on
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
dude...read

bt does not work and probably wont for awhile
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
im using 2.61 atm, but i want multitouch back, where is the kernel stored? in /system or in the boot.img?
[G1 Android Development] djdeviance:
Multi-Touch will most likely be back in the build. Just give it some time or reflash to 2.5.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
is part of the whole "cyanogen" kernel.

somewhere in the boot.img

i sugges you don't try to add or remove anything. :eek:
[G1 Android Development] djdeviance:
Word. Unless you want to reflash again.
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
im gonna try flashing the boot.img from 2.5 to 2.61 so i dont need to wipe again.

Edit: ok tried that and its not mounting my ext3 partition

Edit2: Sorted that by pushing the a2sd.sh from 2.5

Edit3: This is noticably slower than the cyanogen kernel, but multitouch is back
[G1 Android Development] mak213:
i think the only biggest problem that would make this stable is that loading time when u press home or back thats the only thing that stops me from using it 24/7 other then that greattttt! rom
[G1 Android Development] smnnekho:
huh? ever heard of swapper?
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
I agree, it is frustrating, but they are too close to give up now, I have been using jac builds since he put out his hero.

On a separate note, I successfully installed voice search on the 2.6b last night, only to see that this morning the new 2.61 has voice search added in. Oh well, now i dont have to flash. But i tried to pull the voice dialer from the new frailty hero and install it on jacdizz 2.6b. i did it but it does not recognize my commands. I am wondering if it is more than just the voicedialer.apk that i need to pull, so do any of you know how to, or what all needs to be pulled and installed.
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
I am not getting any loading time, accept on initial boot man. NONE.
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
i never get a loading screen unless i do something really memory intensive, the only thing that ive done thats managed to bring it back is install a few apps, and open one while there are others still installing.
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
looks like new version will be up soon with mt...
[G1 Android Development] KennySmoothx:
how smooth is 2.61
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
if you got it setup right, then its very smooth, definitelly smooth enough for every day use
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
lets see what this new update has to offer ;)
[G1 Android Development] Jason Syn:
but unfortunately it does not, i am still getting 1 out of 10 dropped...
[G1 Android Development] coolbho3000:
Is 2.62 using Cyanogen's kernel or not? The post seems to contradict itself (it says it's not Cyanogen then later it says it is Cyanogen).

edit: JAC editied the post. 2.62 is not using Cyanogen's kernel.
[G1 Android Development] pgiuoco:
what do i need to do to get my swap partition to get recognized. I took a look into the a2sd.sh file on jack2.52 and it looks like it will run the userinit.sh file if it sees it so i copied that to /system/bin but still no swap from the partition any pointers?
[G1 Android Development] mak213:
must i wipe everytime i install an update because when i dont it hangs on g1 boot screen
[G1 Android Development] alexjzim:
u answered ur own question
[G1 Android Development] Jason Syn:
I'm running 2.61 and just like on 2.5 no rosie I keep getting "The process system has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Force close. It happens over and over until I restart my phone...

Anyone else getting this?
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
does 2.62 support linux-swap at boot up?
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
I'm going to try it in a few minutes. However, on other roms that do not allow userinit.sh. I just copied the code for the swap at the end of a2sd.sh.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
ive gotten that alot also, very annoying no clue whats causing it :/

i flashed back to 2.4 haven't got it since.
[G1 Android Development] solaresdonis:
I love 2.5 it just need led and bluetooth and will be perfect for me.

Its a very good job thanx guys :)
[G1 Android Development] bsegovia:
Wallpaper not updating?

Anyone else having problems updating the wallpaper from SD card files in JACHero 2.62? Lockscreen updates perfectly.
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
no but the latest version of swapper does, uninstall the old one then install the new one.
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
use wall paper set and save from the market.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Have you wiped and formatted? Got to ask.

However, I assume you would know that is the first step in troubleshooting issues that most people don't seem to be experiencing.
[G1 Android Development] Jason Syn:
Yeah I wipe and flash every time, I'm sure he does as well...

Just flashed 2.62, hope that addresses it.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
I also reformat the ext3 partition and reinstall my apps when I am having trouble.

This helps me find troublesome/conflicting apps.

Wiping, reformatting, and then flashing should put you on basically level playing field with everyone else.

Otherwise, I have no idea why you are having the problems. I have been using 2.5 with no problems, since it was introduced.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
ive always wiped my ext2 and wipe my data from my g1

i still constantly get it its wierd :/
[G1 Android Development] AGunz82:
I don't wipe my ext3 and I haven't recieved any errors since 2.4.
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
Does anyone know the exchange domain name with gmail, when setting up activesync? keep getting password authentication errors.
[G1 Android Development] CPR123:
Remove all widgets then set your wallpaper.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
That is weird. I figured you would, since you seem very active on this forum.

Have you tried pressing alt-x at recovery, and running

e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 at the command prompt?
[G1 Android Development] hackmania:
exchange domain name with gmail? what you are trying to do
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
2.63 uping now with a2sd fix.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
actually i haven't done that thanks let me try i totally forgot about it.
[G1 Android Development] MotherMayI:
can someone please explain or point me to a place where it tells how to use the linux-swap? cuz when i try to use it, i partition my sd to 400mb ext3 and 32mb linux-swap and then i flash the update and it boot-loops. i would really like to use linux-swap, i hear it makes a huge difference. and i wanna understand how to use it before the final hero comes out, "we are very close!" Thanks

Yeah I was wondering why my apps weren't showing up.
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
I hate to ask....but how does this compare to 2.5? For me, 2.5 has been just flat out awesome and fast. Any feedback guys?
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Ok glad to see an update out again :)
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
yeah i had a few errors on my ext2, this fixed the issue, lets hope it works ;)

thanks again.

-status bars res images fixed

still missing the status bar image in the newest build
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
what are the autorotate changes in 1.63?
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
which ones are missing? i haven't flashed it but curious.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
What is being referred to by a/b testing?
[G1 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
I am currently testing running it back in regular system. It seems to be the same result so far, but noone is around to test it haha.

Hit up my QR barcode, shoot me an SMS if you want.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Can anyone confirm that the update linked to in the first post for 2.63 is actually for 2.63? I downloaded it and it says 2.3. I assume it is a typo.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
do an md5 sum?

edit: It's 2.3 NOT 2.63. Apparently 2.63 not up yet
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
I have never downloaded anything to check an md5 sum, so it never even crossed my mind. Thanks for the tip. About time I downloaded something. Any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] Jason Syn:
I just flashed it and first off English US is missing.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
It's NOT 2.63 :p
[G1 Android Development] zapyourit:
Exactly. Just wait a bit. If you want to check on the status of the upload, go here. The two ".pureftp_upload" links at the top are 2.63 being loaded as we speak. Just takes a while.
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
nvm i am a dumb person
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:

EDIT: ITS UP!!! ENJOY
[G1 Android Development] htcclay:
Pardon my ignorance...

What is and how is Linux-swap support instead of swapper?
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
anybody compare speed with this and jacheroski build??
[G1 Android Development] mak213:
its unfortunate that we have to wipe everytime :( i hate redoing my home screen sometimes i forget how i had it lol
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
lol ive never been good with numbers. or anything really...
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Lol agreed. I was thinking. Would it be possible to just release an update with the files that were changed? Or just push the changed files over?
[G1 Android Development] shtay:
You all are the $hit! thanks to all the devs for your hard work, and every one else that takes the time to answer questions!!:D
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
im just going to try flash this without having to wipe or lose settings.
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
id like to know this as well. id like to try that one but i just havent had any real problems with this one...
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Somebody creates small incremental changes for the Cyanogen builds.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Lol yea I know. Wondering if it'll work better though or will it just screw everything up? Just messaged JAC on twitter asking him :)
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
its been great for me been on jacheroski since jachero2.4 came out..and its been great dunno if its worth tryin out jachero ..
[G1 Android Development] djdeviance:
Ok so I did a search for the linux-swap. Didn't see to much on it except that I need to create a 3rd partition for the swap to work. Can someone pm me with a bit more info about the linux-swap and how it works exactely.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Might as well post it here for everyone else to see. Linux-swap is just another partiton residing on the sdcard. It's relatively small only about 32mb. Or should be 32mb and the swapfile goes there. Use 51dusty's guide to create a swap partition
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
Wanna know if with this MT Kernel its better than with Cyan .

Cuz im running 2.61 and its running pretty well, only thing i want its that the SMS Threads can open faster u.u or the smoothness between home screens . I dont care for the LED or BT, FOR NOW xD .

But what a great Job you guys .
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
anyone flash 2.63 yet?

wonder how it is compared to other builds hmm.
[G1 Android Development] shtay:
Flashing now!
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
tell me how it goes, i flashed back to 2.4 due to some lag and process errors so well see if i should flash this.
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
while we're on the subject, isnt the order important? shouldnt it be fat32-ext3-linux? And so, if one currently has fat32 and ext3, would one delete the ext3 and start over with a formatted fat32 or can you just add the linux on?
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
yea it should be fat32-ext3-linux. I suggest starting over from a fresh fat32 sdcard. Use parted in CM's new recovery =]. Just use rm 1, rm 2 to delete all the partitions on your phone. Then

mkpartfs primary fat32 xxxx yyyy

mkpartfs primary ext2 yyyy zzzz

mkpartfs primary linux-swap zzzz aaaa

quit

reboot recovery

upgrade_fs (ext3)
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
i tried to flash this without wiping by deleting everything on the system partition, remaking the app symlinks, flashing the new boot.img, it worked but i have to type busybox before any terminal commands coz the busybox symlinks are broken, im just downloading the resign kit and ill start with making jachero nowipe builds that wipe system but not data
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Nice and fast...and i have class 2 sd :p
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
i get a bootlopp u.u
[G1 Android Development] zas74:
I just flashed 2.63 and every time I try and delete a widget it keeps reappearing. It takes like five times to finally delete it from the homescreen.
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
i havent had this problem. you could try deleting the data in the touchflo application, maybe restart, if all else fails just start over...
[G1 Android Development] zas74:
I'm gonna try and restart see if problem goes away.
[G1 Android Development] shtay:
I kept getting hung up on the "loading" screen at first and touch flo kept FC, but once that passed it seems to run pretty good! :D
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
I am running a 128/60 swap partition on a 16GB class 6 card and am running 2.63.

I am running at least one full size widget on every page.

Very little lag. Seems to be faster than 2.5, which was fast for me.
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
2.63 its great . The first thing i noticed its that the notification bar its rly how it has to be, in older revs it was like only the black line it didnt have that glossy thing .
[G1 Android Development] JediMasterASD:
is SU back in with the 2.6.3 build?
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:

[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
how did you set that up with the limux-swap partition???
[G1 Android Development] JediMasterASD:
awesome! going to flash tonight after i get back from watching the UFC event
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Yes it is a linux swap partition. I have heard mixed reviews about using such a large size but it makes my Hero run smooth for now.
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
updated first post
[G1 Android Development] coolbho3000:
Anyone know where I can get the sources for cyanogen's kernel?
[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
did you edit the a2sd.sh script???

and what would i have to edit, if so???
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
folks please enable transitoin animations..it just feels faster if it actually isnt on Hero
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
AOSP and his .config :)
[G1 Android Development] coolbho3000:
Thanks JAC. :)
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
I did not edit the a2sd.sh file. I assumed it was running off of my userinit.sh file. So I may actually be running at 128/30. I am not sure how to check this.
[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
lol!!!

fair enough
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Ok. Just checked in swapper.

I am actually running at 128 / 30 and it is running smooth.

Sorry about the confusion edwin.

Has anyone used 2.6b and switched to 2.63?

I want to know your views on it, I think 2.6b it the best Hero I have had and I want to see if 2.63 will be an upgrade or downgrade?
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
do you have a link on how to set up the swap partition...

will look for it in the mean time
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
im just testing my nowipe version of 2.63, what would be the best place to upload it?
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Question...can you use a 1GB card and partition it to run Hero, or should you sue the slow version? The reason I ask is because I am helping another member and that is the only size card he has.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
There has been a post with a link to instructions in the last several pages. I do not personally have a link. I set mine up a while back using Gparted Live.

You should note that the creator of this thread suggests 32MB.

I set mine to 128 before I saw that statement.

I set my swappiness to 60 and it seems even a little more smooth.
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
if ive flashed 2.63 can i just create the 3rd partition and it will strat working or will i need to reflash? thank you
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
If you set it up right it should just start working.

To check open terminal emulator and type the following.

su

free

and if your swap says something other than 0 0 0. Then you are set up correctly.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Where do I go to enable these animations?
[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
thanks, just one last ???

you just created the partition and the swapper adjusted to its size, am i correct???

im trying it with 64 since i have a smaller 1gb card for now (4gb on the way)
[G1 Android Development] I7oobie:
So the OP says the mms.apk has been applied since 2.62 so sms works. Does that mean MMS works? Sorry, i'm a bit behind on my reading...
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
2.63 is real smooth i like this ;)

great job JAC and Drizzy.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
If you correctly set up three partitions then 2.63 will use the swap partition with 30 swappiness automatically.
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
anybody ? ???
[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
oh almost forgot, do you know if this will work on the slow sd version of 2.63???. sorry for all the questions
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Anyone have a naswer?
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Okay if you read the OP it says for the original G1 sd card that you should partition for an ext 2 or 3 i suggest making it like 200mb or less for a 1 gig card and use slow_sd for it
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
I am not sure but I wouldn't think so.
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
ok to make the 3 partitions you just need Cyanogens 1.31 recovery image folks likethis

To format card with linux-swap WARNING!!! this will reformat you entire SD card!!

Example for 8GB card

Enter console on 1.31

#parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

rm1

rm2

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7584

mkpartfs primary ext2 7584 8127

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 8127 8159

Example for my 4GB card

#parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

rm1

rm2

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 3420

mkpartfs primary ext2 3420 3932

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 3932-3964

you can also resize if you know how to avoid deleting everything if you know how :)
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
haha. now you know how I feel. The main impediment to using linux-swap on a mass scale is that few people know how to set it up.
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
@JAC

Anyway this could be included in the next update its dim but its still a start for the LED's to work

From shafty023's post on LED debugging on Hero

[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
quick question about the numbers after fat32 im assuming that the "size" you want each partition to be right.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Listening to the music now and it sounds great.
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
what exactly does this do?
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
It allows the LED's to blink its very dim its 1 on a scale of 100 i think so its really dim but its a LED fix
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
now heres the golden question.. can the 2.6 rom ( newest version ) be ran without the swap partition??

if no - thats cool just have to back up all my crap thats on my sdcard
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
sweet lol....this should work on all hero builds right?..im about to type in the commands
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
yup starting and ending :)
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
It should idk why it wouldn't if you wan to test it out try adding after the last three commands after brightness -100 to see if that effects the brightness I haven't done that cause I'm not sure what it will do so if you want to try that i would appreciate it
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
This did not work through adb shell.

Said link failed, file exists on the second command.
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
also i think most 4GB cards are 4096 so adjust accordingly...

4096(SDcard size) -32 (linux-swap size)=4064

4064-4096

4064 (SDcard space left after linux-swap)-512(ext2 size)=3552

3552-4064 ext2 partition

this leaves 0-3552 for fat32 if you had a 4096MB card :)

swap partition numbers etc :)
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
i have an 8gb and ran the top commands, but it said the closest it could do on the fat32 was "512b to 7680b"

i pressed accept and got "error: partition too big/small for a fat32 file system"

i also tried 0 to 7468 but got the same feedback, am i as dumb as i think i am? thanks
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
1.65r2 had this fix in it with LED's dimly working...its hardly functional so i removed it untill we can get them working proper
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Thats because its FOR TERMINAL ONLY
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
you need to rm1 and rm2 first which should delete the 2 partitions you currently have then you can run the command and parted will start your fat32 at 512 no matter what
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Ok thanks.

I have never had a problem running commands through adb shell before. I actually did not realize there was a difference.
