I'm posting from mg G1 and the speed is amazing. Prior to 2.63 I would not even try. I also have a 8GB class 2 & I test it this morning and the speed is about the same
[G1 Android Development] j8dailo:
im wanting to go from jacheroskiv build to JACHero build...JACHero seems faster to me but last time i had it running..noticed GPS doesn't work...jacheroskiv is the only one i know with GPS working..

i used paragon partition manager ..... now the question is how to i merge my 31.8 back into my FAT32 so that i can repartition it out as more. I could not get Gparted to install and most say paragon partition manager is the same.
[G1 Android Development] madeo2007:
when i return to the home screen, it always show "loading" for a long time...what is the matter?
[G1 Android Development] CPR123:
GPS is working!
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
Gps does work, but it takes a long time to find your location (at least for some like myself). However if you switch to 2g in mobile network settings, it will locate you in less than 5 seconds.
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
wait thats backwards as hell lol
[G1 Android Development] Zeltaz:
ive flashed the newest version just like i have flashed all the other versions, though the later ones does flash properly thouch they never get past the HTC loading screen. whats wrong?
[G1 Android Development] jaygajay:
Exactly. Thats why mine is at 96mb.

Hero has 288mb RAM and G1 has 192mb. Considering that the system takes half for cache and rendering as i am quoting somebody would be 96mb leaving the last 96mb for G1 services and apps.

Assuming the Hero uses the same amount of RAM for these same cache and rendering processes, it would leave 192mb RAM for the Hero to run its services and apps.

G1 = 96mb

Hero 192mb

Hero-G1=Swap

192mb-96mb=96mb

So for the G1 to run as close as Hero, it would need 96mb of swap space.

If you open Music and Browser and do some more multi tasking stuff with 32mb you will notice how fast that swap will run out.
[G1 Android Development] pgiuoco:
I have noticed that the AGPS seems to be not working while on the hero builds. I just kicked it to 2G and it also picked it up as well.
[G1 Android Development] komposure85:
I'm going to try this....since we are using a rom that is made for a device that has more memory....I would like to see how it will react when trying to have the g1 mimic those same memory specs as much as possible
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
It does sound wrong, but i have had this problem for a long time, and with slow loading gps 2g is the way to go.
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
question is with using that big of a swap space what should be the ideal swappiness or how much it swaps if u get wat im saying...
[G1 Android Development] menzo44:
This is my favorite hero build so far...the only problems I have with it is I don't get any sms (text) messages. And when I press the home screen button, it goes to the load screen (black htc screen) for about 30 seconds to a minute. If there was a way to solve these problems I would love this hero build!!! Someone pleaase help me! And I know I did the insstall correct, and my sd card is set up right.
[G1 Android Development] genomeprjct:
i hate to ask, but where can i find the parted utility for android?
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
for the home screen are using linux swap...or swapper ???...and as for text messages try the old fix i for one have had no problem missing any...but the fix was to uncheck auto retrieve reboot then re check it...then send one to yourself to see if you get it
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
if im correct parted is built into cyanogen's 1.3.1 recovery
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
it may be that you have a class 2 card. i have a class 6 and i havent had a load, htc, or force close screen yet, and the ui is very snappy...
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
Been running thisw for a full day and have to say that its pretty solid and smooth...i have my swap at 70mb...but was also wondering if overclocking would help performance? And also would increasing swappiness help aswell?
[G1 Android Development] jc1337:
what should I do to make this it's fastest? I am still experencing quiet a bit of lag. right now I have my sd split to

fat32 0 2673

ext2 2673 3673

linux-swap 3673 8017

8017 is how big my sd card is. Also I have not messed with the swap value in the a2sd.sh file, what should I set that too?
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
dude why you have the swap size so big.... thats damn near 4gb of swap... wtf

i have mine running at 64mb and its good with that
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:
waaaaaaaaaaaay to much swap space.

most people have 32 MB, you have 4344MB.

why would you do that?

Fix it.
[G1 Android Development] dbhatesyou:
this is why people shouldnt really try things they dont know what they're doing. becuase then people think they should try it then **** up and then say it doesnt work to the dev when it does work.
[G1 Android Development] widto08:
I posted this in the wee hours of this morning during my sleepless slumber but it didn't seem to gain any fanfare. LOL

Thanks for confirming what I was thinking....
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
What directory do we put wallpaper images that this rom would recognize?
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
with a 8gig card with 8017 space do this

fat32 0 7203

ext2 7203 7953

linux swap - 7953 8017

this should have u almost perfect !!!
[G1 Android Development] jc1337:
I never use the sd card for anything besides a2sd so I figured if a little would do me good a lot would do me even better. Nothing is messed up it is all actually running ok. Just not as good as I think that it should (going by the way everyone else is saying that it runs). Can someone please tell me what they think that I should set my sizes to since my sd card is 8017 in size? Also what do you think I should set my swap value to in my a2sd.sh file?

Ps. You guys need to just calm down ;)

EDIT:

Thank you very much! :) Now what about the a2sd.sh file?
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
i think the rom recognizes any .jpg .png format of pictures thats on your sdcard so it can set it as a wallpaper...

if not just use the app - Wallpaper set and go

works perfect for me.
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
the rom does the apps2sd automatically on power up...

thats why it takes a little bit longer to power the phone on the first time, and after you install any apps from the market...

now u can use your free space on your 8gig card for music, pics, movies, and videos that your record...
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
has any devs tried to open up the Mms.apk app and try to reconfigue the way we can use the "enter" button on our hardware keyboard to be used as the "send" key instead of a return space.

i hate pressing the stupid send button wastes like .5 secs hahah i just like hitting enter to send the message can someone try to do this!

ill donate!! LOL.
[G1 Android Development] jc1337:
in the directions for setting this up though it says that the swap is set to 30 by default but that you can edit it by going to the a2sd.sh file located in the build. Should I change the swap from 30 to like 60 and then repack and sign the update file for flashing?
[G1 Android Development] PsychoKilla666:
another question to add to the adb commands, should I try this on 2.3.6 or guaranteed to fail?
[G1 Android Development] Grimsby:
Quick question..does anyone know if the SIZE of the ext2/ext3 partition matters? On my 6G card, i have it currently set at 4.5G Fat32 and 1.5G EXT3.

I have seen some recent posts about ext3 at 528, but i didnt know if that was the SMALLEST it should be or just a recommended size?

My real question i guess is would it improve performance/speed to re-size the partition smaller?

Thanks for anyones suggestions/advice!

Grimsby
[G1 Android Development] :
I'm now running 2.3.3 with apps on internal (I've no realized it was my card that was messed up, using the stock 2GB card >.<) but I'm having problems with rosie causing a bootloop. When I turn on the phone I'm prompted for my SIM pin, then rosie attempts to launch. The spinner just keeps going, then the phone bootloops. I've managed to fix it by adb-pushing rosie.apk and rosie.odex, but it reverts every time I reboot :-(
[G1 Android Development] PsychoKilla666:
i've heard of that before, try the adb fix and then disable you boot pin and see if it still happens
[G1 Android Development] PsychoKilla666:
yes, i believe smaller might actually help, you kinda have it on overkill at the moment, lol, and i think i've heard that too large can bog the system down

500-550 seems to be what everyone is running, also linux-swap for ram helps
[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
About the Linux Swap...

I am currently usung the stock 1gb with 350 ext3 and 32 for linux-swap, but im not shure if the phone is actually using it...

im currently running Jac hero 2.3.5. how can i know if its actually working???
[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
is it possible to create ext/3 partition using only Vista?
[G1 Android Development] alexjzim:
for linux-swap

$ su

# free

if udk if apps2sd is working, take out ur sd card and try opening an installed app. if it doesnt work, ur apps2sd works (simplest way) *you need to restart after this*
[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
thanks for the response....

i was more concerned about the linux-swap partition i have on my sd....

is there a way to confirm that the phone is actually using this space as extra memory to perform????
[G1 Android Development] PsychoKilla666:
ya, if the free command returns numbers other than 0s it is
[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
thanks for the quick response
[G1 Android Development] LvDisturbed1:
Any one have any ideas on why I'm stuck in a boot loop?? I installed the radio and spl, formated my ext3 partition(1gig), wiped, then flashed the rom. It is currently endlessly looping the hero boot screen.
[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
another question...

can i set up swapper to make the swap file on that llinux-swap partition or should i just leave it in /sdcard/swapfile.swp????
[G1 Android Development] alexjzim:
this has been discusses already.

it would be best to put it in:

system/sd/swapfile.swp

and if ur gunna use the swapper app, there is no point in having a linux-swap partition
[G1 Android Development] :
you could purchase paragon, that can edit partitions. Or you could use an Ubuntu live CD and use gparted from there. That wouldn't require an install of ubuntu, best way to go imo.
[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
oh, ok...

thanks for the support

hero tips

Pushing launcher through terminal

Save Launcher.apk and Launcher.odex to root of sdcard

Download droidsan tweak tool from market

I use this to mount my phone to sdcard to allow read/write

Then in terminal type these command

su

cp /sdcard/Launcher.apk /data/app_s/Launcher.apk

cp /sdcard/Launcher.odex /data/app_s/Launcher.odex

(Caps are a must)

**/data/app_s/ is where most of your system apps are stored

Currently I am using 2.3.6 and it runs great. I removed stock and weather and it showed some improvements.

Remove file by typing this in command

su

rm /data/app_s/Weather.apk

Do this for Weather.odex, Stock.apk, and Stock.odex

Reformat ext3 before flashing new Rom to avoid loop

And of course must have updated radio and spl

Follow me on Twitter.com/jenarobfreaky

Rom dizzyjac 2.3.6

Fat32/ext3 500mb

No swapper
[G1 Android Development] PsychoKilla666:
i see your not using swapper, is this launcher some kind of alternative, whats the benefits of it, sorry for dumb question but i think it used to be in builds and is just now returning, thanks
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
xDDD i thought that too, but then i remebered that several times i hitted the Enter key thinking it was the delete Key and sent the message incomplete

lol
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
ahah me too i got so used to the cupcake message app where i can just hit the enter key to send my text =(

FAILED.

hope someone can do this pleasee im dying haha. really annoyed by this function

htc should of just use alt + enter to make a new line of text quick and easy SMH. poor coding!!
[G1 Android Development] thedominator:
omg

Just wanted to say thanks to Cyanogen, JAC, and Drizzy and whoever else made this possible, the ROM is incredibly fast and amazing. Good work and thanks so much guys!
[G1 Android Development] jc1337:
this is for Hero devices...there is no alt button as far as I am aware of.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
lmfao man i keep FORGETTING hero doesn't have a physical keyboard :/

i failed. my mistake haha :(

but wonder if we could rewrite the code to use the enter key as the send key.

hope its possible. :confused:
[G1 Android Development] jc1337:
that would be cool. haha

I just use chomp.

I like the way it looks better anyways plus it has more features.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
well i like the interface of the message app but i might have to try chomp again =D
[G1 Android Development] genomeprjct:
that's what i figured. maybe i missed something. after i used flash_image recovery to load the img for it, i couldn't find it. even after installing jacHERO i can't find it. any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] jc1337:
chomp has made the app look better if you haven't tried it in awhile. They finally got rid of that huge send button which bugged me so much!
[G1 Android Development] jc1337:
have you scrolled down to console after in the recovery?

after in the console you will hit the enter button and then type in

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

and then you can edit your partitions.
[G1 Android Development] Jason Syn:
So after 12 hours of solid use I have to say, THIS IS THE BEST AND FASTEST HERO ROM EVER!!! I have not seen the loading screen on the home page once! Thank you so much JAC and Drizzy, you are the men! I got all my texts, that I know of, and no issues at all. Nice one!
[G1 Android Development] jc1337:
I honestly don't think that I am getting all of my texts. One of my friends says that they have text me a million times (which I am sure is an over exaggeration) and I only got one text and now I haven't received anymore from them since.
[G1 Android Development] Mastershake101:
HELP!!!!.....ok so every time i go into parted and try to partition or even do the print command...it says unrecognized disk label....and ive searched all over the place and cant find the answer
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Did you format to FAT32?
[G1 Android Development] prasansk:
boot loop with 2.63.

Hi,

I upgraded from JACHero 2.5 to 2.63 and I keep getting the boot loop after the HTC screen.

I followed the instructions on partitioning the SD Card in the first post.

Following is the output of parted print:

Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 8166MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 32.3kB 7584MB 7584MB primary fat32 lba
2 7584MB 8127MB 543MB primary ext3
3 8127MB 8159MB 32.9MB primary linux-swap

I the uploaded the DrizzyJAC r2.63 SYM/BIND APPS2SD file to my sdcard and renamed it to update.zip.

I started with a clean ext3 partition, I also wiped the phone before applying the ROM.

Can somebody please help me with a fix?

Thanks,

Prasan.
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
just type " print " by itself.. no number sign infront of it
[G1 Android Development] thedominator:
no hey I think your 3rd one should END at 8166 right?
[G1 Android Development] Jason Syn:
Two minor things, one dev related and one not.

I've had a force close a few times with the messaging app, probably just related to having the old apk built in.

Is it me or does Peep suck! It takes forever to load, then when it finally does load it sticks a reminder on the dashboard and I'm in the app! I have to go to the dashboard and clear the notification. It should work like texts and just delete the notification if I'm in the damn app. The widget for it sucks too, no way to refresh from the widget and it doesn't clear the notification from the widget either. I'm about to go back to Twitroid...
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
please tell us you made it ext2, then upgraded using the command after doing all 3 partitions... and you have empty space ( 7mb ) blank which could be the cause...
[G1 Android Development] Jason Syn:
Try the thing someone reccomended a few pages back and unselect auto retrieve, restart, and reselect auto retrieve and see if that helps.
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
you can refresh the widget by pressing the bottom of the widget with your finger...

as far as the notification goes in the dashboard thats just a issue with it, its minor.. at least it works... if you dont like htc peep, try twidroid or itweet..
[G1 Android Development] larryhi:
so true, i'm always pressing the enter key and i think i sent the message and it doesnt send it just saves it as a draft and i don't realize it because i exit from the messaging app right away....
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
i did the math poorly and have 10mb left over but its been running fantastically well so i dont think the extra mb will mess it up...
[G1 Android Development] Mastershake101:
Yeah i did.....
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
i think we need to edit the trout keyfiles hmm.
[G1 Android Development] jc1337:
alright! I will try that. thank you! :)
[G1 Android Development] Jason Syn:
You know the best part of hero ROM's is that the browser doesn't auto refresh every time you go into it! Also I only need about 20 apps for every day use and with cupcake I needed 40, this ROM is so complete it's amazing!

I heart hero!
[G1 Android Development] torc114:
on 2.63 having a problem with the Launcher not installing on first boot or being able to manually
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
lol.. its hard to stay away from hero rom... the looks of it, the fact that flash works ( bestbuy.com and officedepot.com wont display on cupcake roms if you wanna view the weekly adds ).. built in twitter client, dialer is da shiznit, and much more.. almost makes me wanna buy the htc hero when it comes out..

the mytouch3g can suck donkey dills.. 399 to upgrade.. WTMF!!!!
[G1 Android Development] torc114:
nevermind i figured it out
[G1 Android Development] chrisrj28:
Yeah bro I know what you mean. HTC has made Android really exciting and I could never go back to stock cupcake. Even with the issues that rosie has the other features like the dialer and the gallery make this a killer build. A lot of the things that come stock on hero you needed an app for with cupcake. If Hero had a keyboard that would for sure be my next buy.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
i think we'll have another small update tonight.

from my sources ;)
[G1 Android Development] kingskidd268:
I am happy at 2.63 untill BT can be fix but looking forward to the next update, this is great.
[G1 Android Development] prasansk:
I made it as ext2 and the used upgrade_fs to change it to ext3.

I am redoing the partition process (will increase ext3 by 7MB) to take care of the blank space at the end after swap.

Hope that does the trick..
[G1 Android Development] jaygajay:
I did see your post and that is where i got it from. I actually used 32mb and ran out of physical and swap and started to get load screens. With 96mb I dont have no lag, no load screens. and everything stays fast.

And I use a swapiness of 40 so that the system can use the physical RAM and swap when needed.
[G1 Android Development] spiderman_anhvu:
I'm using JAC 2.63 anh It's the best rom of Hero in G1 until now! If you can make bluetooth is worked so it will be perfect! hope you can make it work soon :D

thanks all guys!
[G1 Android Development] DoCunnin2:
Im about to re-format my ext3 and redo the swap.

I have been running the 2.63 for about a day now...i get lags when coming from a few apps(10-20secs)

The social sync took a full day to actually load into my phone(it stated that i was connected but info was unavailable etc)

one thing i found is that the Jachdrizy 2.5 w/o rosie was been the fastest rom i have tried. i might just go back to it because i like landscape @ hme screen.

The new bar at the bottom(rosie) is not needed at all.

there's the ALL programs tab, a phone tab and the add to HME tab. #1 pressing the phone button is good enough for me. #2 the Add to HME is just stupid you can presh and hold the screen to add a widget.. Conclusion the only button needed is the APPS BUtton.

i might try to uninstall the SCreen LOCK app...it just looks funky to me.
[G1 Android Development] Anomolystic:
little help....?

I'm running JFv1.51_CRB43-ADP with the htc hero theme, cyanogen's pimped out recovery image (love the name btw LOL), newest SPL and radio image and I was wondering what steps i need to take to prepare for the JACHero rom... I think the only thing really stopping me is that I still have the partitions made by the Apps2SD 2 app and I guess I just want to redo the partitions and also convert to ext3 (which I did figure out how to do...) but where do I start? Undo the current apps2sd?? How??? Reformat and type in the commands in recovery?? If so, what are the commands?? Please help... sorry if this was answered somewhere already but I searched and have yet to find an answer... if it's been answered please provide a link....

sorry it's so much but this is my first time posting here...
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
try reading the FIRST post of this thread, it basically holds your hands and helps you get this "HERO ROM" cmon dude.... :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
interesting, but what in the world could make this better? :D
[G1 Android Development] thedominator:
Oh and is that a fact? lol
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
neone have facebook n willin to vote for my idea ? go 2 http://apps.facebook.com/rogersbestapp/Default.aspx?l=en ...im winnin n it ends 2moro at 10 am...its called CATCH
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
its 50/50 not sure yet hahah :/
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
If you make me stay up till 3 for nothing, your ears will be ringing.
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
yeah... two bad cyanogen doesnt let you choose to just nandroid restore the data only ( cause swapping back and forth would be killa like htat )... theres is a little bit of lag, but i think i can deal with it for a few days... gotta find ways to make it faster.. or go with a non rosie build..

that should work.. also did you wipe previously ??

how do i edit the amount of swap on 2.63.. via the update script ??? i have 64mb set aside for swap partition
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
only time can tell right guys ;)

lets seeee ahhh.
[G1 Android Development] thedominator:
Haha played the flash version just now, lol its intense after you get far.. :D
