Force closes are usually caused by left over bits of other roms not being cleaned out ....

wipe/format partitions before applying updates !!!
[G1 Android Development] xREVOx:
did you remember to remove your app_s folder from your ext2/ext3?
[G1 Android Development] xREVOx:
jac, you sure you have compache set up with this rom? everytime I edit the user.conf it doesn't work. only works with linux swap.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Yah, wht i did was

adb shell rm -r /system/sd/*

im just guessin here, but when i look at my log at boot, some permission denies it to create dalvik-cache for some of the apps....
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Yah, tried again deleted ext partition, recreated, flashed n still same error, just noticed my dalvik-cache directory seems to b missing stuff i only got 20 files in there...can neone confirm ?
[G1 Android Development] Dombfrsh:
it flashed perfect for me no problems at all but im running the switchrom.sh so i dont gotta wipe ext2 or linux-swap
[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
Nice work Jac&CC, also thanks goes out to Haykuro for the drop!

Liking the speed, everything is on the up and up thus far.

Cant wait till your up dated kernal, making this b!tch fly! :eek:
[G1 Android Development] srt4mn:
Just flashed it and still pretty laggy on the home screen with just the Clock widget and nothing else.

8gb Class 6 Card

32mb Linux-Swap

512 EXT3 (wiped before install)

The rest FAT32

Anything else I should have to do to make it quicker?
[G1 Android Development] lamaravish:
missing text, but i always wipe my ext2 like this

mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd

rm -r /system/sd/*

flashed with out wipe or formating ext3

I was running the JACxHEROSKIv1.4 with rosie color changer with lots of apps installed. decided to see if this new ROM would work just by flashing with out formating my ext3 or wipe and to my luck it worked. all my apps are still here and fully working. wifi, sms, you name it. its working and the rom seems like it has a little zip to it. anyways, just letting yall know so if you guys want to try flashing with out wiping and/or formating your ext3.. it might work. it worked for me! hope this helps some people :)
[G1 Android Development] amd85:
I am loving the speed not to mention the fact that free internal mem is 85 =). Sms are working, i havent tried the mms function yet. And all these are bound to get better with his no wipe speed increase rom later on tonight.
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
This build is a little more "cooked" the change logs from drizzys and jac's will tell you all thats changed
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
Yeah that's how you'd do it.. Try rebuilding the partitions on your sd card.. like clear out the ext2 and linux-swap partitions and remerge them with the FAT32. Format the FAT32 Card and set up the partitions again. This time I would stick with ext3.. it's faster. Let me know how it goes.
[G1 Android Development] lamaravish:
i tried formatted my whole sd card to stock, but it only formats my FAT32, can you give me instructions on how to delete ext2, format sd card to stock and then how to partitioned to ext3, i would appreciated

[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
I use Paragon Partition Manager. I can't remember where I got it but if you google a bit im sure you can find it for free. I'm going based of memory because my laptop is at home and I am at work. :) Make sure that the SD card is plugged into the computer either mounted through the phone or using an SD card reader (I prefer an SD card reader)

1) Once you have paragon start it up

2) Click On something like "advanced"

3) This will actually bring the program up with no wizard.

4) If you look in the middle it'll show all the partitions in your comp

(your HDD, Phone and whatever else)

5) Click on your drive (you should see the fat32/ext2/linux swap there)

6) Right click on the ext2 and click on delete

7) Right click on linux swap and click on delete

(You should now have Fat32 and Unallocated space Partitions showing)

9) Right click on FAT32 and click on resize.

10) Resize it until the Unallocated space is gone. This will format your card and get rid of all the partitions.

11) Once that's finished (and it can take a while) we need to rebuild the partitions

12) Right click on FAT32 and click on resize

13) This is where you need to plan a head.. I use 512mb for EXT3 and about 32-100 for linux swap. Resize the partition to reflect what amount of space you'll need for each partition

14) Next you'll need to right click on the unallocated space and click on format.

15) this will ask you what type of partition and what size you'd like it. This is going to be your EXT3 partition and size it about 512mb

16) Right click on the unallocated partition and click on resize.

17) This is going to be your linux swap and use up the rest of the unallocated space.

If you need further help I can help you once I go to lunch. GOOD LUCK!

EDIT: Lakers beat me to it. His way it to do it with console and My way is using the GUI. I didn't have any luck with using console so I stuck with Paragon. :)
[G1 Android Development] lamaravish:
partition manager 10? personal/proffessional?

EDIT: i got stuck following lakers instructions lol
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
I found (again this is from memory) But I believe it was 10 professional. But if his way gives you problems, mine's always here for ya :D
[G1 Android Development] AGunz82:
The best way to partition is to download ubuntu and run it off the disk on pc restart, no install or anything. Use Partion editor.
[G1 Android Development] lamaravish:
i did lakers, but im stuck when i do this

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 1700-1732

then it asks me

end?

i dont know whatelse to type
[G1 Android Development] nephron:
type in 1732 when it says end.

Does anyone else have a problem with google maps not being able to find your location on 3G? It seems like this happens with all Hero builds for me, since with CM builds I have no problems at all using google maps.
[G1 Android Development] erics9382:
I have noticed that the LED worked on 1.4 but does it work on the 1.5r2 i am using it but i dont see it going on anyone else having this issue
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
same here :(

i was excited to switch to this too, if LEDs worked great, that wouldve been the thing to convince my wife to let me root/switch her g1, she likes the hero interface i use, but hates lack of LED.
[G1 Android Development] RolSMcS:
There is a typo on the instructions, instead of a slash between 1700 and 1732, it should read a space ;).
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
NO it is supposed to be 1700-1732 other wise it will not work there SHOULD BE A -
[G1 Android Development] BombaMyte:
Christ this ROM is fast... Full Calendar, Twitter, and Music widgets, Weather & Flip Clock, People, small Footprints, and 8 shortcuts later (3 of those are settings widgets) and there's been NO LAG at all. Impressive.

But I know my experience with Hero ROMs in the past; either they've slowed my phone to a solid crawl, or I'd miss phone call after phone call because of the ring delay. So I decided to do some testing. First, loading screens. I used some "standard" triggers, like going into Weather then hitting Home, and using the Browser for a while then pressing Home. Result: Not ONE loading screen. I get one on boot (which I expect, NBD), and haven't gotten another since.

And all I did was increase my linux-swap from 32mb to 42mb. I know ppl have been saying to try 40, so I decided to try something abstract and so far, having great success. My stress test for most ROMs is 24 hours, so we'll see how this fares (I'll be applying the update when JAC tweets it :D).

I know LEDs are being played with via twisted & others, and BT will come when it comes, but at the moment I can honestly say that this is a version of Hero I can actually use...
[G1 Android Development] RolSMcS:
You sure?? I've always done it with a space and never had any problem.

I did it on a 8 gb card with totally different numbers though, sorry if I lost something :(.
[G1 Android Development] lamaravish:
wow..that was xcitin..im flashing now! thannxs nolimit & lakers..i hope this work lol
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
Great work let us know how it goes! I'm going to flash during lunch..:D
[G1 Android Development] bstapley:
Here's the post from the 1st page for an 8GB card:

Reboot and enter recovery

Enter console

#parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

#print (to verfiy we know what size card we are dealing with, the details should be straight forward)

rm 1

rm 2

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7200

mkpartfs primary ext2 7200 7700

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 7700 7732

Notice that there is no - on the linus-swap line. I have never used a dash and it's worked for me, so RolSMcS, I think you're correct. :)
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Yeah with a 8 gig you are correct theres a space BUT with a 2 gig there needs to be the - or it does not take it
[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
REALLY!

Its SO easy... whats the size of your card? Depending on the size of the card and what size you want your linux-swap.

Tell me that and i will simplify it for you
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
Lol he figured it out ") He's flashing now.
[G1 Android Development] therealdarkdemon:
theats right theirs no -

the first time i did the i typed that - and it kept messing up and i couldnt figure out why then i noticed the others didnt have the - so i removed it then it workded so no their isnt suppose to be a -
[G1 Android Development] RolSMcS:
But why?? Don't get me wrong, maybe I'm just missing something, but I've even searched the man for parted and it clearly says "mkpartfs part-type fs-type start end".

Maybe it's a bug of this parted version, but otherwise... sorry but it doesn't make sense to me.
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Yes the - ONLY APPLIES TO a 2 gig sd card
[G1 Android Development] amack10:
idk about that man i have a 2 gig and when i put a - it always has an error so i just did a space and it worked
[G1 Android Development] lamaravish:
ok everything is running smooth...i sent me 7 txts....and only received 1...i guess hero doesnt like me lol, ummm could it be because im sending them from this site? txt2day.com?
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Make sure you SMS priority is set to HIGH
[G1 Android Development] lamaravish:
i tried that. didnt receive any txts
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Okay then push a old mms.apk back
[G1 Android Development] lamaravish:
the hero_patch?
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Idk what that is but dl an old jac or drizzys build go into the data/app_s folder and pull out the mms.apk and push it to the system/sd/app_s folder via adb or terminal NO i don't know the codes
[G1 Android Development] lamaravish:
alright, dlin JacHero2.7.3
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Okay that should work i just did that test and i got all my texts i think it maybe a prob on ur end but either way this will fix it :cool:
[G1 Android Development] Bzerk1:
I think 1.5r2 is pretty stable, but not that fast on the overall performance. but the music seems to read really fast and stable, i didnt get a loading screen yet either. So its awesome, just home screens and scrolls are late to respond and laggy. what bugs me though is i have a very high rate of dropped texts...

im running 40mb linux swap with 500mb ext3 and on a 8gb class 6.
[G1 Android Development] lamaravish:
i hope so! lol now i just gotta look for the codes to push the apk
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
I use root explorer no codes just cut and paste its the best app i've ever used
[G1 Android Development] lamaravish:
*searchs through apps* ha! i got root xplorer..so just delete the current mms.apk file and then cut and paste the old mms.apk file from Jachero 2.7.3?
[G1 Android Development] jackkerouac:
So can someone give us an HONEST evaluation of the speed and/or lagginess of this Hero ROM? I've tried 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 with three partitions, etc. and the ROM has been way too slow for me. Is that the case with this ROM as well, or does the new code make it fast enough for everyday use? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] lamaravish:
r_dub where should i paste the old mms.apk file? i installed root xplorer now
[G1 Android Development] xREVOx:
try it for yourself. best answer. tons of people have said this rom is great... if that isn't enough for you then go flash another rom.
[G1 Android Development] keemyb:
Been running 1.5r2 for a couple hours now, kinda faster than I expected, but I packed a whole load of apps in myself which caused a little problem as the system was unresponsive with all teh apps booting at the same time, but that was my fault. LED's are kinda working, only flashing green. I can use the soft-keyboard to write messages and wifi is working now, bummed out on me in 1.4

Good job to everyone involved, and I hope everyone hops on this build as it is the fastest hero build ive tryed yet.
[G1 Android Development] jasonsplace:
I just installed 1.5r2 and it works great. I think it's the fastest Android build that I've used period. For me it's even working faster than JF 1.51 and that's with 3 widgets running.
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
I think "fast" is subjective. Hero ROM will never be fast enough for Dream. Its not fast enough for Hero itself. You can't expect that. Its not reasonable.
[G1 Android Development] jasonsplace:
Have you used the latest build? If not then I wouldn't judge it so harshly. It's running extremely well. I will agree that the earlier builds weren't ready for the mainstream but this build is running extremely well.
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
I was making a statement based on specs alone. Hero ROM is RAM and CPU hungry. RAM hunger is satisfied by Hero hardware but it still lacks the necessary CPU speed to render stuff with good response. Dream lacks in both RAM and CPU, so its less capable of rendering Hero ROM (with Rosie).

As I said speed is very subjective. Very little pause may be annoying to some while it may not be for most.

Does this rom enable swap automatically?

If I flash this rom does it enable swap automatically. I've been trying to enable my linux swap partition manually and keep getting various errors, "file doesn't exist" (this is when I use the instructions at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=531988 ). I can't get past the first command, but I read somewhere in the forum that some roms enable auto swap when they are flashed automatically.

Any help you can give me is GREATLY appreciated. I'm about done trying to use the Hero Roms because I'm getting so frustrated with this swap stuff.

[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Do u guys have dalvik-cache folder in ur /system/sd/ ? i dont....
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:

PLEASE NOTE: v1.6 (the one with one minute left to upload, is for people who are either (a) coming from a different ROM or (b) don't mind wiping. That is, it DOES REQUIRE WIPING etc..

Edit...data apps folder. Got it.
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
well :S for me the last ROM i mean 2.4 was freaking ugly .

Everytime i sent a message and went back to Home Screen it showed me the HTC Logo and then a loading pic and it took tooooo much, and also when i want to answer a message the sms thread took to long to load, it was just too laggy and with eternal loading times .
[G1 Android Development] VGPOP:
Well. I think I did it, but in the process I might have messed up the sd card.

I decided to do a complete clean of everything and I deleted both my FAT32/Ext2 partition and I created a new FAT/Ext3 partition (but remember, I have the hero Rom already installed while I am doing this with Paragon Partition manager).

Now, it's saying that SD card is not formatted, i hit format and it gives me force close error.

Oh boy.

I had to turn off phone, and now Hero won't load (obviously since I deleted the FAT32/Ext2 partition).

It just loops forever at the HERO screen.

Is there a solution for this?

Perhaps with a SD Card Reader (I'll buy one tomorrow, in the meantime what I've done is use my T-Mobile Wing as part of the "reader" (I just transferred sd card from one phone to another).

Somehow, my computer won't open/read the T-mobile Wing.

Can I format the sd card thru the G1 console?

Hoping for a solution.

Thanks.
