I also had that problem. what i had to do is repartition my sd card using this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534714 i had previously attempted to partition using linux, but i seemed to partition it incorrectly so once i unmounted i could not mount anymore because my sd card was not working, and in terms i could partition using linux. so i had to follow the link and partition manually from the cmd screen on g1 (recovery>alt+x) hope i helped. if need anymore help please ask.

A few things

1. There was absolutely no need to quote the entire first post, its a total waste of space

2. If you have 3 patitions, fat32, ext2/3 and linux swap you don't need to do the prep work, you will however have to wipe your ext3 so will lose your apps unless you back up

3. Very stable, fine for everyday use.
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
if Parted cant find the card there is a possibility it might be dead. are you checking it out of your G1?

Having CyanogenMod v1.4 is better, but I think 1.3.1 has ext partition repair option.
[G1 Android Development] Gh0sTly:
I checked it in my MicroSD USB reader, and its fine, I think im going to go back to JF 1.51ADB for now. The 2gb I'm using is a "no name" brand that came with another device I had laying around. Ive had my eyes on this Kingston 4gb MicroSDHC at my work for $14.99(unless someone knows where I can get a 8gb for about the same price.)

I have not given up on this, I just have to be able to get my phone calls today, and I don't have another phone handy that I can toss my SIM into.

also, 1.3.1 does have ext part repair.
[G1 Android Development] Gh0sTly:
I dunno if I should ask this here or not, but should the latest radio(the one used for the HERO roms) be compatable with the JF 1.51ADP firmware? If not, what radio should I flash to/link to said radio?
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
I think you can get class 6 8gb cards on amazon for about that. For the record i'm currently using the 2gb class 2 that came with my G1 and this rom is stil super smooth. I would recomend upgrading your recovery though 1.4 does have better features.
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
so..if i run chompsms. the sms problem is a temporary fix? i used to use chomp btw.

any other settings u changed when u flashed 1.2? all i did when i flashed 1.2 was reinstall apps and underclock to 383mhz with 32 swappiness
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
i currently have 1.1 installed o.O i was reading the mms.apk in 1.2 works betters when it deals with the not recieving texts problem but then again doesnt have auto rotate..
[G1 Android Development] Gh0sTly:
My G1 came with a 1gb MicroSD, so I never got the nice 2gb SDHC

I will be updating to 1.4 before I reattempt the Hero rom.

I flashed back to the JF1.51ADP, but I cant seem to get a data connection(or it just cant sync to google), but I am getting/sending calls...its wierd. I was able to get it to sync to google using Wifi.

Dunno. I will keep you updated with the Data sync issue for this radio firmware
[G1 Android Development] rjscott2005:
Did this fix work for you? For anybody? I am getting more frustrated by the day because I can't get my mms to work. :mad: I don't think it has anything to do directly with the various ROMS. I've thought about trying to find the unaltered T-Mobile Cupcake ROM and flashing it to see if the mms works for me.

An update: So I did a switchrom.sh backup of JACxHERO-v1.2, which is the most awesome thing since sliced bread, and did a wipe (Alt+W). Next I installed TMO_OTA_CRC1_Rooted_FullFeatured_update_v1.4.2 (not a Hero build). When I rebooted I stepped through the setup screens. Funny thing- all of my previously installed apps are still installed and working. I guess I find that odd because I thought the doing the Alt+W would kill them. But wait... my apps are in app_s on the sdcard and this TMO ROM uses Apps2SD... anyway, on with the story. MMS messaging now works! I'm very happy about this because I need my mms and it has not worked at all since I began experimenting with the various Hero ROMS a couple of weeks ago.

And now a question: Will the Mms.apk and Mms.odex (I don't know what .odex files do) work if I pull them from the TMO Cupcake ROM and push them to a fresh install of the JACxHERO-v1.2 ROM?
[G1 Android Development] Picolini:
Sorry if this is well discussed... but is this Hero build (1.2) as long as every other one, by other people even just... slow?

It lags when starting up apps, or even loading up the apps list. When running a bigger app, or just running an app for a few minutes and I press the home button it goes to the HTC screen for a good 5 seconds, then it goes to a loading screen for another 15-30 seconds. That's basically at least half a minute I need to wait until my home screen is available.

General use is just slow as well, it's very laggy and takes forever to launch things. I love the extra features Hero has over regular android, and I know the creators have put a **** ton of work into this so I hate to *****. But it's just not really usable as a daily thing, sadly. Unless there's some miracle way to speed it up?
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Can say I agree with this AT ALL. My install runs perfectly smooth for everyday use, I have experienced lag on earlier hero roms, but since linux swap was introduced its been smooth sailing.

I have noticed other people posting of similar lag issues however, so maybe there are other factors involved. You would expect me to get lag as I'm using a class 2 card. Can I just ask how many HTC widgets do you have on you homescreens? These are memory hungry MFs even in slimmed down form.

Problem phone in loops

I have serious problem with phone you may call it "SEMI BRICKED" since i can get to recovery , i couldnt make 1.2 work , i updated for JACHERO 2.3.5 with 1.4 recovery , repaired partition , wiped data but it cant boot beyond HTC ..

simply its switching from HERO-->htc-->HERO-->HTC logos thats it not going beyond that, what should i do , what is the actual problem?

Now i have repeated it 3 to 4 times on advice but still the problem exists , same with 1.1.

before doing all this i did android backup , so after all this when i attempted recovery from latest backup and rebooted , again it went into blank screen so i couldn't even recover my successful jachero 2.3.5 backup too , so i freshly installed cyanogen 3.9.8 for now and it worked , but i badly want to put hero rom , please help me and any one with similar problems , please share that.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
You probably need to wipe your ext partition, assuming you have one. Then wipe the phone and reinstall the ROM.
[G1 Android Development] louisville:
oh i didn't do that but i would loose all my apps , is there any way around? and i have 128MB swap partition with swapiness 60 is to not desirable should i reduce it to 64MB?
[G1 Android Development] tyg15de:
sd card

8 gig class 6 micro--- amazon 20bucks with shipping
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
If you are still in a boot loop after wiping your phone then you probably are going to have to wipe your ext. You can copy your apps off from the recovery console.

mount /system

cp -r /system/sd/app /sdcard/app

cp -r /system/sd/app-private /sdcard/app-private

After you reinstall everything you will copy them back (switch the order of the directories)
[G1 Android Development] bigchi2000:
I downloaded spare parts from the market, turned off window and transition animations option and use taskiller/adv. taskmanger to kill unused programs rountinely, upgrading my sdcard will probably be my biggest setting change tho
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Also, 64MB slows down most peoples phones. I would suggest trying 32Mb (as shown in the first post) and a swapiness of 30.
[G1 Android Development] louisville:
ya bt sometimes when i look at swapper it says 65684K of 127945K in use means its using almost 60+ MB of swap so if i change swap partition to 32 M will it effect the performance?
[G1 Android Development] gmg3002:
Yea it works in the usb drive but how do I use that GParted program?
[G1 Android Development] Picolini:
I knew it couldn't be EVERYONE having their phone be so slow, otherwise it wouldn't be as popular. I thought there might have been a chance most of you were just die hard lovers of Hero and didn't give a ****, but that was a small chance.

As for HTC widgets I've got the Calendar, SMS, and people/contacts widget. Then I've got a couple apps, like 5 and the weather widget from the market (the HTC one reloads EVERY time I go to the screen it's on, very annoying and takes for ever). I've had 5 pages loaded up on cupcake with widgets and apps and it ran just fine, so I doubt 4 widgets and 5 apps should be the cause.

Not sure what class my SD card is, I'm thinking a 4.

But really, I'm just about to put JF1.5 back on the phone, sadly :(

I might try to reinstall this build once more in case some files were corrupted or something, possibly causing the slowness.

Help..

Hello all, need some of your valuable input..

I've tried to flash the JACxHEROv.1.2 ROM but am stuck on the 'Hero' bootloop. I have tried wiping and re-flashing but still..bootloop!

I have then tried re-formatting and partitioning again. I am using a 4GB Class 6 SDHC with the following partition: FAT 32 - 3531mb, EXT4 - 512mb, SWAP (LINUX) - 32.3mb

Still no luck, just bootloop. I've even tried re-downloading the ROM itself. Still, bootloop! Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I had that one time. I wiped and loaded another ROM and I was able to get that ROM to work so I was out of the boot loop.
[G1 Android Development] bounce08:
I have a Nandroid backup of my last ROM which I can resort to if needed, I was just looking forward to trying out this Hero ROM (I haven't tried Hero yet). Surely people have experienced a bootloop on this ROM (900+ pages of feedback) and have sorted it??
[G1 Android Development] joadchob:
hey dude i read that people that has an ext4 partition have this problem, why dont u try with an ext2 or ext3 partition.

Easiest thing you could do is wipe, and reformat your ENTIRE sdcard
[G1 Android Development] GBerg2119:
Is anyone else having problems with the HTC clock/weather widget? I did a search and couldn't find anything. The widget was working fine earlier. Then all of a sudden I take a look at it and my default location is Chuxiong, China. I have no idea how that happened. And now I cant delete that location. The widget will let me add more locations and I can delete them fine. But for some reason I am not allowed to delete the Chuxiong location. Anyone have this issue?
[G1 Android Development] Picolini:
Here you can see at 1:45 into the video I am in the browser then press the Home button. It takes 8 seconds until the HTC screen goes away then another 22 seconds for the Loading pop up to go away. 30 whole seconds to get the desktop to load. Again, I've had it take even longer.

Also, in the video near the end I try to set an image from my albums as the wallpaper, and as you can see it doesn't work.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NopeIcKF_74

This is after I had RE-installed the JACxDrizzy 1.2 over my previous install of it, just to see if it helped. It didn't.

I'm not posting this to *****, but to bring up a problem some people seem to have, as a lot of people obviously don't have this problem.

I'll try to be detailed here.

Installation process.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534461

All of that went 100% fine as far as I could tell.. Installed the Radio, then the SPL. One thing I noticed is that the walkthrough in the above link says after installing the SPL, "Your phone will be stuck on the T-Mobile G1 Screen." That didn't happen to me. So I put the CyanogenMod 3.6 on the phone and installed that. Fine, loaded up great.

Then installed JACxDrizzy 1.2, the install went just fine. Took a bit to load up.

Physical/Phone Specs:

- Black T-Mobile G1 (USA), purchased in April.

- I have a Kingston 2GB microSD card (class 4 I think?) that I previously used in my Blackjack2, but it seems to be just fine. When doing the process in the link above I reformated the entire thing to FAT32 then made a partition of roughly 600mb and formatted that as ext3.

- Running the JF1.4 bootloader

That's the install process. Now after words I didn't think to reboot the phone and just started messing around. I installed some apps and it ran out of space since it didn't start/finish the apps to sd. So I finally rebooted and that worked fine. But the phone just got slower and slower over time.

My desktop was like this, from far left, to far right:

1. HTC SMS widget

2. HTC People widget

3. Camcorder, Camera, Album, Music, Market app icons

4. Battery Status - Free widget

6. Browser app icon, Weather Large widget (the one from the market, not HTC's)

7. Calendar

The only app that I had running over a standard function was Handcent SMS, which was laggy as well. The notification sound was always very choppy.

I know I read things for various Hero ROMS saying don't overclock. Well I figured **** it, it can't make it worse so I tried with SetCPU. I put it at 528mhz max and 384min. Didn't make one difference.

Honestly, I'm startin to get frustrated. Hero is bad ass and I would love to have it working like a lot, if not most, of you have. But it's becoming a ***** to just get normal things done, like texting. So I don't know how much longer I can keep it on my phone... :(
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
how is 1.2

okay i flashed 1.2 when it came out but quickly went back to 1.1 since 1.2 just seemed...a bit slower that 1.1. and now i am experiencing the not receiving sms problem on 1.1

and i am thinkign about flashing 1.2 again since i would hate to go back to drizzy2.2r2 since its a bit older but its doesnt contain the private apps bug like in 2.3 and up

i was wondering what are your experiences with 1.2. notice any lag? tell me what settings you have done or changed to make it run smoother

anytime i flash a rom i immediately underclock to 383mhz.
[G1 Android Development] rolo12010:
I've searched I have seeked (I did search before i posted) and have not conquered. I like everything that JACHero has to offer. :D I still have no luck on my text! I have looked all over for a fix. I had my text coming in at no problem for a day or so on 1.1 then I couldn't receive. I updated to 1.2 that wasnt any better Had to use Chompsms to send I went back to 1.1 and I was working fine for 1 whole day then I could only receive from 2 people. I would love to keep this Rom but my job communicates through text. :(
[G1 Android Development] sdlong92:
Did you partition for linux-swap?
[G1 Android Development] Picolini:
I sure didn't! Didn't know it was necessary for this ROM... just checked the first post and i see it now... I know it was needed for the new one Drizzy just came out with, but i installed his Full V2 with out linux-swap as well and. it's just as slow.

Mind giving me an idea of what linux-swap does? Hopefully I'll be able to figure it out and do it tomorrow after work.
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
So what you are saying is that you were complaining about this ROMs performance but you had not followed the installation instructions?

I too have used pre Linux swap hero builds and they were like swimming in treacle. However Linux-swap changes all that. Im no expert but it basically uses part of your SD card to make up for the fact that the G1 has less internal memory than the Hero.
[G1 Android Development] gmg3002:
I was able to flash to another Hero Rom and after installation the phone still does not recognize the SD Card. So I know the SD Card isnt dead, but how can I get it to recognize in the actual OS?

Just Curious

How can I get footprints installed on my phone? I have JACxHERO 1.2 running and I'm not a real pro at using adb.
[G1 Android Development] Picolini:
Yes and no. I said I followed this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534461

I just looked through that once more and the person recommends doing a "swap" but nothing about linux-swap. Therefore I didn't do it. It's not in the steps on setting the SD card up for Hero. So I didn't do it. While it's my fault for not reading the first post in this thread, that person should have stressed it a lot more. They barely touched the subject.

And instructions on installing ROMS are very brief in threads posted by the creators, just as this one is. I understand they spend so much time creating the ROMs so I'm not holding it against them for not posting a more in depth install. But when I made mods for video games I was sure to explain as much as possible so stuff like this didn't happen. Even if it took a month to make a single mod.

I assumed it allowed the phone to use the sd card as some RAM space or something. I'll have to try it out... I think my card won't last too much longer seeing as it's a year and a half old... but **** it. It's got to die sometime!
[G1 Android Development] louisville:
Problem SD card removed message.

i have installed jacxhero v1.2 everything went fine , it recognized my swap partition and started swapping and my ext3 partition too and using it for apps , but it DIDN'T RECOGNIZE MY FAT32 PARTITION, i displays message in notification bar "sd card is removed please insert again" , its a 8GB card with partitions 6.2GB FAT32 , 1.1GB ext3 and 64MB swap in the same order so why isn't it recognizing my fat partition when it is using ext3 and swap.

Lala.com w/Hero ROM?

Hi, I hope this isn't too OT, another more experienced forum member suggested that I post here.

I'm considering buying a G1 and loading the Hero ROM, but only if the Flash player included with it can run the music streaming website Lala.com with comparable audio quality to a PC. (If the navigation isn't as smooth, that's OK.)

So.... $7 via Paypal to the first person to post a Youtube video of this test case?? :)

Lala.com does not work

I just tried Lala.com and no, it does not work. It detects that you have flash player, but it says you need flash player 9.... I think (correct me if im wrong) that hero has flash player 8.
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
I had a similar problem. What I did was formatted the entire card and redid the partitions. Just make sure that you put them in order Fat32/Ext3/Linux Swap.. good luck!

flashing frustrations...

okay how do u exactly flsh this rom... i am getting soo frustrated whenever i decide to flash back to jacxhero again

yes i have successfully flashed my jacxhero 1.2 before but i ended up having to repartition my whole card...and i like to test other roms out tooo but ended up liking jacxhero 1.2

i tried just formatting my ext3 and i ran into boot loop

i tried formatting my linux-swap and ext3 and ran into bootloop

i did repair ext files,then wipe,then flash new rom but then i get bootloop

again the only thing that seems to work is repartition my WHOLE card which is just so ugh.

i nvr ran into these problems whenever i flashed drizzys roms.

[G1 Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
Right, I have tested this theory out.

When on Hero V3r2 I had 127 apps installed with 29mb of internal memory free.

This after a CLEAN install and loading all of the apps before doing anything else.

I then cleaned the phone and installed a Cyanogen ROM 3.9.9.1 and installed EXACTLY the same apps. I did this before doing anything else. I had 61Mb free..............

Hence my question - is apps to SD definately working? if so why do we get the fluctuating memory readings?
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
There seem to be a number of people who don't seem to understand or grasp a few of the fundamentals about his ROM and are getting difficulties as a result. You must understand. BOOTLOOPS OR OTHER PROMLEMS ARE NOT THE FAULT OF THIS ROM. If this were the case no-one would have this ROM running and stable. It is VITAL to have the 3 partitions in the type,sizes and order mentioned in the OP. It is VITAL to wipe your EXT3 Partition before Installing. Also its wise to check the zip file to see it downloaded ok.

I hope this post has not come across as attacking anyone. I am not accusing anyone of being stupid for failing to follow the steps, but the steps are there to be followed, if something is not right it's because you made a mis-step or possibly have a hardward problem (like a borked SD card).

If people want to PM me with problems I will gladly try to help.Saves cluttering the thread.
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
im no noob at flashing i just generally asked how to install 1.2 since i always ended up formatting my whole card and redoing the partitions. i do wipe my ext by typing in the codes in recovery console. i do repair ext,wipe,then flash. and i still get bootloop. and the only solution i have foudn was to redo everything on my card.
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
What version of Ext are you using 2 or 3? If 2 try upgrading to 3. Also what method of wiping your ext are you using. I've tried others but the magic formula for me is

: rename to update.zip

: place in the root of sd card

: shut off device

: boot into recovery

: wipe

: go to console and hit enter

(enter)

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

# cd /system/sd

# rm -rf /system/sd/*

# reboot recovery

: now wipe again

: repair ext system

: flash
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
i use ext3. always.

i use cm recovery 1.4 so no need to rename zip files to update zip.

and i do use

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

# cd /system/sd

# rm -rf /system/sd/*

# reboot recovery

to wipe ext3.

maybe its time to get another sd.
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Have you tried redownloading the zip in case it was corrupted?
