This really cant be all that hard.. i got this far...

Ok so heres whats goin on guys, Earlier today i posted a couple messages on here and got help and did what i and nocturna thought was correct, which was after recieving this message:

So after REDOWNGRADING my fone back to RC29, removing root, unpartitioning my SD, and reverting back to the downgraded SPL and Radio; I ran through the process of putting root back on my phone.

-RC33 flashed with DREAIMG.img to revert back to RC29 **removing all root access, radio, and SPL.

-RC29 cyan's 1.3.1 has been my recovery image of choice **love this thing Cyan is a god!!**

-flashed the Radio(2.22.19.26I) and SPL(1.33.2005)

-Nandroid recovery BEFORE SPL update just incase i screwed summin up

-after SPL and RADIO flashed did another nandroid backup

-repartitioned my SD using parted, I have a 4GB class 2 SDHC, FAT32, EXT2, Linux-Swap

-installed CyanogenMod 3.6 as OS and regained root access​

Now before installing CM3.6 i was using JF v1.42 and upgraded to CM just fine.

By this point you probably want to know what i am rambling about, My ultimate goal in doing this was to install HERO 2.7.3 but every time i try to do it **even AFTER the re-root** it still gives me that error message:

Now i'm kindof wondering what i did wrong but after reading atleast 4 different forums going over how to do this and watching 3 different videos, I am sure i did everything correctly. Is there something I am missing? Has anybody else had this problem?:eek::eek::confused:
[G1 Android Development] steveruv:
XDA has been a really big help to me as well as some other sites. Before I flashed, I read, read, reread, watched youtube vids and im prob on the same level as drumgang.

Im running the 2.73 from previously running the 2.63...I had previously had 0 swap but it was still running fine. Now that I FINALLY did the format and partition thru console and not Paragon Partition, I have 13420 swap. Will check the post about swappiness but for now, dont want to touch a thing.

Thanks Developers! Keep up the good work, and congrats on the move and baby Drizzy and Jac.

My rom is pretty slow also, I switched to a 64mb swap and it has seemed to slightly help, but its still pretty bad, especially when changing screen orientation and going back to home from SMS app. I switched to cyogens for a day its quick as hell but I missed hero dialer and other features.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoKilla666:
i have ext3 and linux-swap and this rom is smooth enough for normal daily use, hero dialer is like crack, can't go back, lol
[G1 Android Development] PulldOvr:
so i tried that ... and i still get force closes for com.android.mms ... i've done it multiple times and reflased and wiped and reflashed ... still not working .. but i also can't use the "mv" command line ... it says "cross-linked device" ... but i can use "cp" instead and it copies it ... so .. i dunno ...

but on a side note ... Google Voice is an awesome workarond to the mms problems for now :D
[G1 Android Development] jcostanza4:
Alot of the ROMs speed comes from which widgets and the amount you use. The HTC clock with the weather built in is the biggest drain in resources as well as the HTC weather widget. Remove these two widgets from the home screen and you will see a hugh gain in speed, especially when hitting the home button from messaging.

I only run these widgets and I have a super fast interface.

HTC Small Analog Clock

HTC Large Calendar Widget

HTC Small Calendar Widget

HTC Large Messaging Widget

Google Search

& a ton of market widgets.

Hope this helps for those who are thinking of abandoning.

I'm really beginning to miss the Hero build; once bluetooth is fixed I'll be back in an instant.

From what I've heard, the devs were pretty close last week; has anyone heard anything new since then?
[G1 Android Development] PremierITA:
Does bluetooth driver good? is it working with car handset kit?
[G1 Android Development] smnnekho:

[G1 Android Development] ctheory83:
I had the same thing and for me, it was the SPL. Wipe wipe wipe, clear your card and reformat, and reflash the SPL. I don't know if it'll be good to you like it was to me... but that was my issue last night.

Good luck my friend.
[G1 Android Development] komposure85:
nice work there.....since there is no longer a pull down bar would we still just mimic the pull down action to unlock the screen?

I'm running 2.71 and it's working perfectly with the 3 partitions. I have 1 or 2 loading screens but it's rare. I have Wifi, GPS, Search, Music, Weather and Clock(the one with time and weather) Widgets on. BTW the Weather and Music Widgets are the full screen ones.

##POST ANSWERED##

Hi,

I've just spent almost 50 minutes searching the forum/google trying to find information about this. Please can anyone point me in the right direction regarding LED notification? I have installed 2.7.3 which is FANTASTIC! I can live without the bluetooth, but the LED flashing was useful for me... is there a patch/apk I can add to get it back???

Cheers!!

[G1 Android Development] ctheory83:
Big thanks to all involved in making this ROM possible. Its a little slow right now but overall beautiful and excellent.
[G1 Android Development] jl1030:
anyone know the homescreen wallpaper size please?
[G1 Android Development] komposure85:
i haven't went into the directory where they are located but the lockscreen wallpapers are 320x455

you could also go here to compare in case you are trying to make your own. Also in case you are trying to insert your own....I think the image will automatically be resized to fit the screen... for my personal images I have initially made them 320x455 so there would be minimal stretching

just my 0.02 cents - hope this helps

ive gotta say, i just repartitioned my card,(havent done so in a long time) and made the linux-swap on there; and boy does this run smooth.. it really does. linux-swap does make a difference over the swap app. Now I have fat32/ext3/linux-swap partitions on my sd card.
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
That's the stock HTC mail app linked to a google account.
[G1 Android Development] drumgang:
See I TOld you!....To the ppl complaining about load screens an blah...I Know youre not fully following the steps....Cause everyone who does it works perfect...When i didnt follow all the steps shhhhh it force closed Every other menu, the phone wouldnt dial, it took 40 seconds to load the homescreen and well now?....Only time it lags is if I got mad widgets+Apps open(Which is what ANY of the phones out now do)

FOLLOW THE STEPS, ESPECIALLY the PARTITION STEPS
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
actually nm i figured swapper run automatically. and i uninstalled the swapper app.. but i cant figure out how to edit the linux-swap from 32 to 128. i was reading this one guy had ti set to 128 without any problems.

btw i did read abt the "echo" code i do understand it, but do i have to repartition my my card so i can set the linux swap to 128mb?

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

rm 1

rm 2

rm 3

(cant rememeber the remaing codes from the top of my head)

then create new partitions? would

i have to re-isntall my rom?
[G1 Android Development] neok44:
i need help ASAP. i'm trying to do the SD card formatting but it just refuses to work

i type in

"mkpartfs primary fat32 0 1435"

and it says:

parted: invalid token: primary

File System Type [ext2]?

i type Fat32

Then it says

Fat32

Start?

and nothing i do will get it to start it just keeps saying invalid number or says start again. WTF IS GOING ON!
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
It's in the first post. All the instructions for partitioning and installing.
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
I used gnome partition editor in ubuntu to edit my swap from 32 to 64 (after repeated heavy use I've realized I don't need much more space than 64 except on rare occassions).

It was pretty straightforward...shrunk the ext3 partition then resized the linux-swap...pressed apply...and viola.
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
that explains it, thanks.

anyone else have issues trying to sync yahoo mail to the htc mail app? gives me login/pass error, when i know its correct.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Dude...u try removing ur partitions first ?

rm 1

rm 2 if exists....
[G1 Android Development] neok44:
um no it's not. this is all it says:

#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 1200

mkpartfs primary ext2 1200 1700

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 1700-1732

so i typed in for my card, mkpartfs primary fat32 0 1435

and i get all that extra **** that no where in the first post does it explain wtf to do

and yes i removed the partition first. It just gets to start and i have no idea what to do. i've tried y, yes, start, just pressing enter. and nothing works

PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT TO DO HERE. i'm about ready to toss the damn phone across the room. What the hell to i type at Start? to get it to actually make the partition

i'm sorry for being an annoying yelling n00b here but i'm under time constraints right now and i need a working phone.and no ones instructions anywhere that i've looked say anything about start or any of this
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
I had weird stuff like that happen when I was trying to partition. I think I had to mount the card in windows through the phone, eject the card from windows, and then eject the card from the phone, reboot, and reinsert the card. Something didn't get unmounted right. Maybe try a chkdsk on the card too.
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
Those values to the right of "fat32" "ext2" "linux-swap" are starting/ending cylinders. Those will not apply to you unless you have the exact same sized sdcard as the person who created that tutorial. You could have a 4GB card and he has a 4GB card but you have different cylinder counts as each card is different. My suggestion, use fdisk. There's no need to know any of that and its pretty straightforward.

I don't think this thread is the proper one to go into partitioning your sdcard. Let's try and keep this thread clean please. I'm sure there are plenty of other threads that explain how to do this. If you need help and you absolutely can not find any threads with step-by-step instructions, I'll create a thread with how to partition using fdisk as opposed to parted.

**Edit**

Please PM me if the consensus is that there are no easy to follow tutorials explaining how to partition using fdisk. I don't follow each and every post so I probably wouldn't see anyone's request in this thread. Thanks guys
[G1 Android Development] VGPOP:
That's it. No more updates?

It's complete?
[G1 Android Development] VGPOP:
Double post.

:mad:
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
No it's not complete. We're still actively debugging Bluetooth, LED fixes and new kernel patches that get released. Along with constantly optimizing the ROM. There just hasn't been anything worth updating yet so nothing has been pushed out.
[G1 Android Development] neok44:
did you not even read my post? i know what numbers i have to put, the ONLY thing i don't know is what to do when "Start?" comes up. i'm fine with everything else, this is NOT my first time doing this.

but i can't find an answer anywhere to find out wtf to do when it says "Start?" if someone could just tell me that then i'll go on my way and be fine.

i tried using the stuff on the computer before and it DESTROYED my 8GB card so i'm sorry but i'm never doing that ever again.
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
What size swap partition did you use? Hop into a terminal and type "free" without quotes. It should look something like this

sh-3.2# free
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 98328 96216 2112 0 92
Swap: 64632 38620 26012
Total: 162960 134836 28124

I have a 64mb swap partition and already 38mb has been used. If you're using 32mb then its not enough. You should re-partition and change your swap to 64mb

I can't setup Exchange Activesync. It keeps telling me to check my server settings but I just updated from Rogers Rom w/ Exchange where it was working just fine. I did a fresh wipe and new partitions and it still won't let me set it up. Anyone having this issue?
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
You will need a class 6 sdcard, and partition it into "fat32/ext2/linux-swap". Please search the forum for an explanation on partitioning your sdcard as it has been explained NUMEROUS times.

The reason you're getting loading screens is your phone is running out of memory and Android is forced to kill off processes to load the home screen. The linux-swap partition will increase your virtual memory so that you don't get those loading screens. Your sdcard will have a number on it, pull it out of your phone, and that number tells you what class it is. If it isn't class 6 then I'd suggest going and buying one. Trying to do swap on a < class 6 card will just slow things down
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
Are you running Exchange Activesync on your Exchange server? I believe the Roger's rom accesses Exchange via IMAP.

Experience with Flash Player 9

I've been looking into running AS3 content in mobile devices for a long time, so I was dying to get hold of these new versions with flash support.

Unforunately my experience with version 2.3 is not very possitive, while playing video would work ok, when going into applications it is not so obvious, as an example I have tried to run webmessenger.yahoo.com, which is a flash player 9 based webchat application, I get a message stating that "the content cannot be played in this device", the good news is that it recognizes that FP9 is in the device (otherwise it would require me to download it), the bad news is that, for some reason, the G1 cannot play the content (run the app). Not sure if the FP9 plugin provided is limited in some way, or if it is a memory issue, or some other issue, anyone having a similar experience that can share with the rest of us?
[G1 Android Development] Lou2serious:
Did you completely wipe your ext partition??

Thats what I did and I came from cyan's 3.4.6.

I removed everything except lost+found ran an ext file systems check wiped and flashed and it worked on the first try no loops!!
[G1 Android Development] samethsom:
Whats the difference between the slow sd, and the regular 2.4??
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
ok i guess i should try that...quick question im on ubuntu as i type and when i mount my sd card i can see both partitions if i delete the stuff off the partition using the computer (deleting apps...app_s...dalvik etc is that the same thing that the recovery does ?) this will be the first time i have ever had to wipe my ext partition never had any problems before.
[G1 Android Development] Lou2serious:
Something is different, my first download was 76.6 MB, that last upload is 75.8MB
[G1 Android Development] sandrosilva:
the regular has ALL apps on /system/sd/app_s which will be having more internal memory if you have a class 6 sdcard you can flash this one with no problems..

and the slowsd version has mostly of the apps in the internal memory which helps those without class 6 sdcard like me :D
[G1 Android Development] Lou2serious:
Thats exactly what I did in recovery, then a ran a ext file systems check before flashing.
[G1 Android Development] bobbybooshay:
:X he says what the difference is in the same post i think.

the regular one is for those using faster SD cards

hmm downloaded earlier and was 76.5 now i checked for the hell of it and now its 75.7 and ideas
[G1 Android Development] Lou2serious:
Not sure if the empty folders were there since I did it all through recovery, but I did a nandroid backup first.
[G1 Android Development] Dror520:
I downloaded the rom a couple of hours ago and it was 76.6 MB and now when I clicked to download, it's 75.8 MB. So I checked Twitter and JAC has put the wrong Rosie file in the first Rom. In the first it's 1.7 MB and in the latest it's 707 KB. So should we reflash? can you confirm that it's faster?
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
was the code to clear the partition be

rm -r /system/sd/* ???? that basically wipes out everything right ???
[G1 Android Development] spiderman_anhvu:
any idea???
[G1 Android Development] Lou2serious:
Yup thats what I used

rm -r system/sd/app

rm -r system/sd/app-private

rm -r system/sd/dalvik-cache
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
these can be done in the terminal right ? then i can flash the rom thats basically doing the same right ?
[G1 Android Development] Jason Syn:
you can wipe the ext3 partition by rebooting in recovery, dropping down to terminal and type:

Code:

mount system/sd

rm -r system/sd/*

you do this from recovery because you will get a lot of force closes if you do it in the terminal emulator.
[G1 Android Development] Lou2serious:
Are you running 2.4 now?? I'm not sure how that would turn out doing it in the terminal, I only use the terminal when I knew nothing was symlinked to my ext.

Can someone tell me which rom doesn't give messaging problem. Im on 2.7.1 and half of my messages are not sending. Help Please...too many people on here for me not to have help.
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
Yes, tons of people. If you're getting force closes, you'll need to delete the Mms.apk, download the ROM from the first page, extract the Mms.apk and push install it back to your phone. If you're having problems sending/receiving messages you'll want to check your APN settings as I know mine were slightly different then what came up as the standard. Both issues have been discussed to exhaustion in this thread and in other threads in this forum
