Sounds to me like you have a problem with either your phone, your Card or with your installation. This should NOT be happening.
[G1 Android Development] :
which spl do you have
[G1 Android Development] louisville:
but it is happening my ext3 and swap partitions are booted and used right away , they are fine. only my fat partition is not recognized.

so i use "mount -rw -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard" and i can access those files through astro manager, but rest of apps cant access SD Card.
[G1 Android Development] iso67:
I have JacHero 1.1, and I'm istalling 1.4 roght now: should I had to wipe before?
[G1 Android Development] sbricout:
Ooooops! Thanks!

[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
What I am saying is that what is happening to you seems to be happening to you alone, certainly I have seen no other reports of this on this or any other Rom.

I suggest you start again, repartition your card, re download the Rom and re install.
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Yes always.
[G1 Android Development] louisville:
yes i would do that but , have u any idea how do manually index file systems as we do in vista for the android? and what is the perfect entry in etc/fstab for my fat partition to mount correctly? i will try to change those entries and if all fail i would go for all over installing.

coz i did repartitioning and re installing several times with v1.1, v1.2 but no success same sd card problem.
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
don't know about the perfect entry but my fstab is

/dev/block/mtdblock3	/system	yaffs2	rw
/dev/block/mtdblock4	/cache	yaffs2	rw
/dev/block/mtdblock5	/data	yaffs2	rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1	/sdcard	vfat	rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2	/system/sd auto	rw
/system/modules/modules.sqf	/system/modules	squashfs	ro,loop

What about etc/mountd

## mountd configuration file

## add a mount entry for each mount point to be managed by mountd
mount {
## root block device with partition map or raw FAT file system
block_device /dev/block/mmcblk0

## mount point for block device
mount_point /sdcard

## true if this mount point can be shared via USB mass storage
enable_ums true

## path to the UMS driver file for specifying the block device path
## use this for the mass_storage function driver
driver_store_path /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
## use this for android_usb composite gadget driver
##driver_store_path /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/gadget/lun0/file
}
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
OK, I didn't see this till after my last post. You have had the same problem with several roms? I assume you have wiped each time? I cannot see any software reason why this would be persistent across many installations unless you add mods of your own to each rom.

i did all formating and partitions with parted utility , wiped every time i install.
[G1 Android Development] xREVOx:
is your SD card partitioned fat32 or fat16?
[G1 Android Development] iso67:
just wiping or reformat sd card too?

I thought that I could avoid wiping since I was just upgrading the rom. Actually I already istalled the 1.4 now, without wipe, and it seems to work properly. what I should expect without wiping?

does this rom solve the led and missing sms problems?
[G1 Android Development] otto888:
Just remove the app_s folder on the ext2/3 partion on SD card and wipe.
[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
This is what I do when upgrading

Reboot Recovery

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

rm -rf /system/bin/*

rm -rf /system/app_s/*

reboot recovery

Alt+w

Alt+a

Flash

Why to also remove the bin? Well from what I know the bin folder contains scripts like swap, app2sd, user.conf and others. So I do it just to make sure no conflict with the NEW stuff in the update.

Maybe its point less but it gives me piece of mind.

And yes the Led somewhat works (no flashing) and I do get ALL my sms, I think :p
[G1 Android Development] louisville:
its FAT32 6.2GB in space
[G1 Android Development] SokRatha:
Anybody know why ringtone list double?
[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
If it really bugs you and don't want to wait for the fix in the next update, download Ringdroid from the Market

-Open Ringdroid

-Long press on the SECOND duplicate ringtone or notification

-Delete

-Confirm deletion

The app will crash everytime you delete something, just reopen it and do the steps for each tone.

There you have it a temporary fix to the double ringtone bug
[G1 Android Development] PulldOvr:
if that were the case ... couldn't we get the messaging app from that build and push it to a newer build and test it? ...

im gonna try to next build with the led fix when it's up ... then try to push the older messaging app from 2.2r2 ... and if i still have no luck then i guess it's JACxROM for life .. lol .. not worth a pissed off gf to have rosie on my phone .. haha ..
[G1 Android Development] SrRaven:
I've got a quick question, as I live in Germany I use Qwertz and not Qwerty. Is there a way to get QWERTZ and not QWERTY running using Hero?

I use a tmobile G1.

And thanks a lot to everyone on this Forum for the Instructions on flashing this Rom onto the G1. I totally love this and may even consider getting the HTC Hero and selling my G1 allthough im not sure I can live without a hardware keyboard.
[G1 Android Development] frost785:
force close

i read long and hard before posting. i just tried loading this rom on my buddies G1 following the dream thread (i have a mytouch have not tested this) and his messages would force close before the rom would even fully boot up tried everything(reflash like 3 times wipe and reformat sd) ran out of time before i could re-flash the radio and spl then wipe reformat then update rom thats the last thing i can think of doing ...
[G1 Android Development] PulldOvr:
you didn't read long and hard enough... push a messaging app from an older build .. i forget which thread talks about doing it ... but it's pretty simple .. i did it w/o administrator access on my work computer in 10 mins .. so ..
[G1 Android Development] iso67:
could you please clarify the problem? Are the text messages (sms) not working or what?

how tu sobstitute the message apps?

thanks
[G1 Android Development] sccdare18:
hello i saw that you figured out how to fix the boot loop. ty for that by the way. i was hoping you could help me with this...... when im done making a call or using the web i hit home and it goes back to the HTC screen then it takes forever!!!!!! to go to my home screen. Is this normal or can i increase my swapiness to avoid this annoying problem from continuing????? any help or guidance will help. thanks again.
[G1 Android Development] PulldOvr:
the problem lies in the .apk that your particular flash doesn't like ... you need to unzip the update.zip from another version and used the Mms.apk from that one and place it in /system/sd/app (i think it's the correct folder ... ) if you search for Mms.apk you will find more help ..
[G1 Android Development] Melo.One:
thanks for the work on the Hero ROM JAC, just one question...i have the latest update and the only problem i'm having is that the HTC clock widget with the weather doesn't load the weather...it shows weather in the selection menu but when it loads on the homescreen there is no weather
[G1 Android Development] iso67:
The android clock widget is exactly the same and it is working properly, yet if it is only in english. Use that one.
[G1 Android Development] amd85:
is your gps on? Coz when i use the flip clock with weather, i used the current location and enable my gps. Then it works for me.
[G1 Android Development] Melo.One:
I was using that one but I hated how it didn't adjust to 24hr and it didn't use the flip animation until I tried this:

Thank you, didn't notice that the gps wasn't on, now the HTC clock widget works perfectly...
[G1 Android Development] amd85:
Your very much welcome....
[G1 Android Development] iso67:
thanks! actually I experieced the android screen loop once, when I tried to install a wheter widget. I don't know if it is the same loop you're talking about. anyway to solve the problem I first tried to wipe, but without any success, and I had to flash again the 1.4.

anyway I tried to search the mms.apk file in this tread but I didn't find it. which is a good fw to extract the mms.apk from? may I simply take this file and rplace the existing one with a file manager? (I have problem with adp)
[G1 Android Development] Svensemann:
Wow this Rom, Rom works very good! The Only thing is that havent the LED Blinking and Bluetooth! But the Problem is known and we all wait :D

Speed is very Good for a Hero Rom! Hope you solve the blinking, and i hope that all the modders find out whats the Bluetooth thing is! ;)

Greetz from Germany!
[G1 Android Development] iso67:
Reading many pages of this tread, I see that most of you are happy for the spped of this rom. Yet if I like this rom very much, I find it still slow. So I guess I shuld change swappiness in a2sd.sh and probbbly something else in user.conf. Could I please have an hint on how to do it, possibly without adb?

How I can know if I have to change the mms.apk file? In case where I could find it?

I was tempted to shift to a twisted or drizzy hero rom, but It seems that they are not faster of this one. Isn't it true? my last choice is cyan!!!

thanks!
[G1 Android Development] Melo.One:
How's that 16GB sdhc working for you? Does Hero run faster with it?
[G1 Android Development] t24moore:
I found something interesting with sms/mms. Everytime I use anything that updates automatically using the 3G network messaging stops working. Im currently on jacheroski v!.3. Also, Im using chompsms which is fast as ever. The problem goes away whenever I uninstall the app automatically updating.

As far as the speed is concerned I love it. I have nothing special done and I have an 8GB class 4 card. I even have 3 big widgets running on the home screens.
[G1 Android Development] amd85:
Its just as fast when i was using the 8gb class 6.
[G1 Android Development] daedae19ave:
its coo i like but for some reason my messages wont open for nothing
[G1 Android Development] gvanlee:
I like this rom a lot. It just has one problem on my G1 I have a really hard time getting around; the fact that bluetooth is not working.

Any news on this problem? According to the issues list, it's been a known problem for some time.
[G1 Android Development] GELw0:
ok not trying to sound stupid or anything but what does he mean by this
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
it means dont download any apps2sd app from market... the rom automatically does this for and if you download it from the market,your hpone will run into conflict.
[G1 Android Development] GELw0:
ahhh gotcha sorry had a brain fart lol
[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
Yo b v3

Your not running 1.4?
[G1 Android Development] skullo4:
everytime i try to partition my sd card i get "no implementation: partition 1 isnt aligned to cylinder boundaries. this is still unsupported." what i did wrong?
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
How are you trying to partition the card? If you're having issues trying to partition the card using the phone, try using Paragon Partition Manager (with the help of an SD card reader). You shouldn't run into any problems there. If you do then you know its a problem with the card. If you don't then you may be doing something wrong on the phone...
[G1 Android Development] johnt2k:
just installed and now have boot loop

well this was my first linux swap and first attempt at doing ext 3

so i did ???MB-Fat32 250MD-EXT3 and 32MB-linuxswap

i also installed new radio new splash and then jackheroski1.4 and once booted i get the hero with the lil robot in the 0 but it just keeps repeating

i tried rebooting to recovery terminal and doing this line of code from DRIZZY that i found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=546984

If your in a boot loop you need to re-format ext3, but how?

"Thru Phone terminal"

: Boot into recovery home+power

: Go to console ALT+X

In Phone Console:"type"

(press enter)

#

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

# rm -rf /system/sd/*

# reboot recovery
[G1 Android Development] iso67:
I found another bug: yesterday I had a lot of continuous crash, telling that the touchFLo application stopped to work. what it touchFlo application actually?

what is the difference between userinit.sh and user.conf files? When I had the rom v1.1, it was told to me that the user.conf file was not present. with this 1.4 could I access and modify this file?
[G1 Android Development] johnt2k:
well i saw this and thought it may fix it

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4312511#post4312511

and while in the process i realized something must have gone wrong when formatting with the bootable disc because when i did the Print

i said

1 fat32

3 ext 3

2 linux

dont know why it did that but alls i did was reformat and now everything works fine
[G1 Android Development] elegos:
Is it a known bug? There is no H symbol for the HDSPA connection (at least onmy Magic). AFAIK I have to report here 'cause the other thread is only a porting of this ROM. Can you fix it please?

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] m1ke.t:
I haven't read all 766 pages of this thread. But am I getting the vibe that this ROM is a bit too buggy for everyday use? Or are any people using this ROM successfully on an everyday basis?

I am also interested to find out what the running speeds are like?
[G1 Android Development] srwgin:
after I flash rom 1.4 when I go to market, the market application stopped to work

anyoneelse has this situation
[G1 Android Development] jasonsplace:
I installed an earlier version and I would have definitely said that yes it is too buggy for everyday use. I just installed 1.4 yesterday morning and I'm still undecided. It is a huge improvement over the last build that I tried (I think 1.1 but I'm not sure). That being said, it still has a few weird things. First of all, some times, it runs way faster than my phone ever did on the JF rom that I switched from. It's amazing when it does. Other times though it lags pretty bad. Last night my phone started ringing. It played through the ringtone for 2 full minutes before coming up with a force close. In that time, nothing lit up and it didn't matter what button I pressed, it wouldn't answer or stop ringing. When it finally came back up, it told me that I had a missed call but not from who. That is an isolated incident though. I've taken other calls just fine.

Another bug that I noticed this morning is that there are some issues with the time. I had mine getting the time automatically which was great except for it was wrong. I went in to manually change it and noticed that most of the timezones in the list we're GMT +0:00. I think that's the problem. It was able to detect my timezone and GMT but the phone has the timezone settings wrong. I just manually changed my time for now.
[G1 Android Development] m1ke.t:
The time thing doesn't sound too bad.

What are you running with in terms of microSD and swap?

I'm planning on giving this a go with an 8GB-class6 and a swap of about 92MB.
[G1 Android Development] jasonsplace:
I'm running with an 8GB Class 6 with the default swap (I think 30MB). I don't know how to change it. Also, I removed the Weather widget from my 2nd screen now and it's running quite a bit faster. The only widget that I'm using now is the People one.
[G1 Android Development] m1ke.t:
I guess you just set the swap size manually before flashing. That's what I'm planning on doing... right now! Wish me luck.

EDIT: Just read the original post more detail. DON'T USE SWAP LARGER THAN 32MB. Weird.

Anyone know why this is so? I thought that a larger swap would some how allow it to run faster! lol. Don't ask why I thought that.
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
JACHeroSki v1.5 is out cooked from Haykuros latest Hero dump he sent last night.

FAAST folks i can tell you Ski and I's kernel is killing it. There more to come too!!

Compcache is included as well as updated BusyBox and working modprobe etc.

I'll have another kernel out as a seperate update soon with more perf patches!

Enjoy!!
[G1 Android Development] GEN3RIC:
Can't decide if I want to jump ship from my current rom, CyanogenMod ... thanks for your hard work on it.
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
Cy Mod and Hero are two totally different ballgames IMO. Id say try both they each have different strong points features etc
[G1 Android Development] GEN3RIC:
I'd rather have Hero, but when I tried it with the stuff I wanted to use, it was too slow so I had to go back to CyanogenMod because it could keep up. The version I'm using has some donut features and also the HTC Work Email app which I really need. Once a hero version that is fully featured can perform as well as what I'm using now, i'll jump ship so fast!
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
sorry folks left some links out so i had to up r2 :)

Please re-download everything is peachy with r2
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Hey jac, im gettin same errors i was gettin with drizzy's release...com.android.phone has unexpectedly.......its not connectin to service provider....n in airplane mode the error dissappears

[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
From the first page :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] smnnekho:
compcache and backing is disabled by default

linux-swap with swappiness 30 is enabled by default.

cpu scaling from 128 to 578 is enabled by default.
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
ohh thanks guys my jag. a fourm search turned it up as well. did the **** i hate when others do. but for real thank you for the quick responses =D
[G1 Android Development] smnnekho:
huuuh what the hell ??

[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
Hmm havent seen this. Log?

What provider etc. did you clean up partitions etc? Any 3rd party apps?
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
Looks like you need to update your SPL
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Followed ur main post in setting up partitions from scratch
[G1 Android Development] Oneofonex1:
How is this v1.5 different from the build Drizzy just released earlier?

[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
drizzys is unoptimized. jacs is optimized.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Hmm jac, i removed my sim n booted, no errors....also at bootup i get a lot of permission errors....so when i put my sim back in phone it connect for like 2 sec the error came up n then it got disconnected n error keeps looping.
[G1 Android Development] Oneofonex1:
drizzys is unoptimized. jacs is optimized. See thats a simple answer to the question not your asinine reponse
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
Then the question is: what does "optimized" mean? And why did Drizzy release an unoptimized build (from same core Hero ROM) when there is an optimized build available and everybody will download the optimized one (of course)?
[G1 Android Development] RaQHoliday:
Drizzy released his first so people could play with it, he still plans on optimizing it, I believe. JAC apparently took a bit more time to make some tweaks before releasing.

Flashing this now.
[G1 Android Development] APEX.7:
i get this same error

e:can't chown/mod /system/xbin (so such file or directory)

e:failure at line 80

i have the latest spl, reflashed it just to make sure...

any other ideas? i need me a hero :)
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
Optimized means that certain things have been cut from the rom to run more efficiently than the original. Some people like the unoptimized for testing and just becuase they like it. But if you're not wanting to test and debug and just want a good working rom stick with jac :)
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
I use to have a similar error,

wipe

flash

flash

worked for me...do all those in one instance n then boot
[G1 Android Development] RaQHoliday:
^Are you sure? Your sig says HARD SPL, which differs from the Haykuro SPL.
[G1 Android Development] lamaravish:
flashing now! it seems that no matter what, i always have issue with txts on any hero rom lol
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
What issues? Like it FC or like missing texts? Because I've had both of these before and wiping your EXT2/3 partition fixed the problem.
