Okay so after getting Swapper and OpenOverclocker installed, 2.7.4 is still slower than molasses in the middle of antarctica. I am using the stock SD card, which might have something (okay a lot) to do with it. For now I'm going to grab the slow SD 2.7.3 build and see if that makes an improvement. *crosses fingers*
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
your NOT suppose to overclock or use Swapper on this rom!!!

read the OP duhhhh :mad: :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] theonetruetom:
IDK if you're kidding, or if you yourself have in fact not read the OP. There's absolutely no warning against overclocking, or using swapper. In fact, several Hero threads I found actually recommend using swapper.

And if you had a phone that took *minutes* to go from browser to home screen, you'd overclock it and try to make the swap file better too.
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
If you want to have a usable Hero rom you should get at least a class 4 sd card. Anything else will not really be pleasant with any tweaking.

To the person with the 8gb card having low mem warnings, did you make your ext3 partition too big? It should be no more than around 500-600 mb. ANthing larger than 1gb will cause problems.

If so, did you make the partitions in the order fat32 -> ext3 -> linux-swap (If you have it)

If you have a linux-swap partition the swapper program will only clash with the built in swap support in the ROM.
[G1 Android Development] theonetruetom:
How about the JacHero 2.7.3 SlowSD ROM? What's the difference?
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
When is the next update?

That's all I want to be reading right about now...
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
IMHO even with this ROM you will still end up with a pretty slow experience, and much less internal storage.

You can get a class 6 8gb card for around $20 - $25, I think it is very worth it to save the expense of smashing your g1 into a wall after waiting 5 minutes to make a phone call.
[G1 Android Development] theonetruetom:
I hear that. I was about to smash it into a wall waiting for it to boot first. The other end would start ringing and the dialer screen would still stare at me. Ridiculous it was.

I try to stay as up to date as possible on both
[G1 Android Development] jeremycindy07:
As I said I followed the instructions on the first page. I did it exactly like it said and it worked the first time without any issues meaning I made my partitions the same size as he did. I use a class 6 8GB. I got rid of the low space warning by uninstalling most of the market apps I installed. The only problem now is the lag between being on a app screen and hitting home and waiting for Home to load, which takes about 2 minutes

results of parted print

1 fat32 7200MB

2 ext3 500MB

3 swap (v1) 32 MB
[G1 Android Development] Vulgrim:
i thought we had to restart the phone for the applications to actually transfer onto the sd card.
[G1 Android Development] jeremycindy07:
Well even after rebooting my phone still shows 10MB internal phone storage available, so... yeah. but I do have 5.8GB free on my fat32 partition of my sd card

Hey everyone,

I have a blog at blog.eightlayers.com where I write mostly about tech stuff.

On the right hand side of the page, you will see a tab that says suggestions. When clicked on, this will bring up a menu with three topics, "How to partitions SD Cards", "How to install Haykuro's 'Danger' SPL", and "How to install JACHero". If you click on either of these topics, you will be redirected to the skribit.com page where you can vote for the topic you wish for me to write about.

Of course, you can submit new topics if the topic you're interested in is not there.

This will help me cure writer's block and maybe help out a few noobs out there. =D

Here is a screenshot of the site if curious.
[G1 Android Development] newjaruz:
Does anyone know how or have a link to where I can get the stock widget from the HTC hero which was removed from this rom? I'd like to try it out... sorry if its been asked about already I tried searching to no avail..
[G1 Android Development] valefore:
i'm a noob so i don't know the details but i've flashed pretty much all the hero roms on my phone and the only one that worked for me was the latest superlite jacheroski one that doesn't have rosie installed.

if you want a hero with rosie, it is going to be slow without a partitioned memory card, even if it's overclocked.

the only lag i get on my phone is when i open the stock music app, but nothing crazy like having to wait minutes... just a few seconds here and there(on the music app).
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
No he's not kidding JAC hero if you have correctly partitioned your sd has linux-swap which is way better than swapper and also jac hero has interal tweeks so overclock is a waste and just freezes the phone so johnny is right don't flame him cause you didn't read closley
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
thank you sir for backin me up but its his phone he can do what he want if his JACHero is slow cause of him using swapper and overclock then so be it, i warned him and tried to give him the best advice get a hero rom running smooth but oh well

i love my hero =D ima be selfish :D

I've been using 2.7.3 and it works great!! I was going to try Drizzy's touchflo 3d ROM, but I'm gonna hold off for now...I'll be keeping an eye on it though. Whats this about not using overclocking for these ROMS? I've kept this beast clocked @528 since I got it, and didn't notice any ill effecs.

[G1 Android Development] Dror520:
You need the pop3/imap and then just put your information and your done
[G1 Android Development] wasuup:
going to try it now thanks for a quick response
[G1 Android Development] wasuup:
My POP server says: pop.mail.yahoo.com

is that correct i even turn off SSL it still says authentication failed. Please verify your username/password.

Both are correct anyway.

Incoming port I used

IMAP without SSL - 143

IMAP with SSL - 993

POP without SSL - 110

POP with SSL - 995

Im assuming you have Pop access enabled on your yahoo account? If you dont know the exact settings you should get that from yahoo.

Guys,

Question: are others having this issue?

In google maps, in the 'To:' box, i click on the box that brings up the Contacts, Point on Map, I select 'Contacts'.

What it should show up is my entire contact list to choose from.

But it only shows me 5 or 6 names.

Also, when I try to do a search for contact, it won't show up in the result, even though the person I am searching for is in my contact list.

So, I can't do a history search and neither can I do a directions from my contact list? Is this a hero rom issue or new google maps app issue?

Is anybody else having this issue?

[G1 Android Development] rpmccormick:
Ok guys. I need help on MMS.

First, I am running 2.7.3 with the 3 partitions on a class6 card. Rosie always takes a min to load but for some reason with this install it asks me when I push home if I want home or TF3D (and it doesn't save the always use this option). I have reverted to using Home and no my phone is super fast, just with only 3 pages and no HTC widgets, but that's fine.

Anyway, I received an MMS "slide show" of about 20 pics. I was notified properly and there is a "Slideshow, 1 Slide" button in my messages under the sender, but when I press the button I just get a white screen for 10 seconds and then it closes and I am back at the message.

NEW INFO: Apparently I was sent a text with a picture, 4 more pictures in seperate texts, and a video in a 6th text. All from a Verizon phone. I only received 2 texts, the first one with message but no picture, and the "slideshow" one which may be the video... or did TMobile or Hero somehow combine the pictures from multiple texts in to a single slideshow text?

Anyway, any recommendations on how I could view any of that MMS content that was sent to me (whatever is in that slideshow that I cannot open)?
[G1 Android Development] rpmccormick:
Are you sure the contacts other then those 5 or 6 have addresses? It will only show the contacts for which you have entered addresses. Double check... maybe if you did have more addresses they got erased some how.

I am using JAC Hero and I was wondering if there was a simple'ish way to store apps on the SD as the only method I found was a bit complex for me.
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
... Simpler than creating a partition using the instructions from the first page? I mean... its literally... what... 7 commands?
[G1 Android Development] hiroots:
wait what?

boot in to recovery [home+power]

console [alt+x]

press enter

type:

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 [enter]

print [enter] (thats to verify what partitions is on ur sd)

rm 1 [enter] (remove fat32)

rm 2 [enter] (remove ext2)

rm 3 [enter] (remove linux-swap)

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 #### [enter]

mkpartfs primary ext2 #### #### [enter]

mkpartfs primary linux-swap #### #### [enter]

(the "#### ####" is determend by the size of ur sd card.)

lets say ur sd is 9mbs. ur gonna write

fat32 "0 3"

ext2 "3 6"

linux swap "6 9"

after u make ur partitions type print

it will show ur partiotns in a list.

let me know ur sd card size and i can help u out its really simple so let me know ur card size and ill help u. haha i repeated myself.
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:

AND don't be intimidated when you've got cm-recovery. i really goofed when i installed JACHeroski2.7.4r2 for the first time. i was all jacked up with force closes galore but cm-recovery saved me every time. if you refuse or are too wimpy for cm-recovery AND adb dont let the door hit you in the arse.

then type

Still looking for help on this:

Plus, I finally got my GoogleVoice invite which brings up another issue with this ROM...

Both with GV and PFVM+, the caller image does not show up for anyone you have linked to FaceBook. Even people that had manual pictures before I switched to Hero and linked all my contacts to FaceBook have no image. However, profiles with a manual image that are not linked to FaceBook show up fine.

I love having pictures updated by FaceBook, but I want the image (or at least a manaul image) to show up in my visual-voicemail program too (GV / PFVM+ apps)

Is anyone aware of this and working on it... HTC, Google, PocketFusion, devs here?
[G1 Android Development] rg8rc18:
I'm loving my phone now.

Thanks to this thread I finally got the courage to root and put the hero on. And now I am currently enjoying 2.7.3... I don't know if its just me but somehow 2.7.4 was slow and froze a lot on my g1. so i went back to 2.7.3.

[G1 Android Development] countkakula:
Love everything you guys are doing with the Roms but one thing i wanted to know about was the app drawer is it possible to change it to where it shows 5 apps per row because i cant stop downloading apps and it takes forever to scroll through all the apps
[G1 Android Development] ready4thebreak:
Well yo I'm using the Superlite Rom that supposedly has some 'new not Rosie' interface. It literally looks and feels JUST like the regular one. I got confused and reflashed the ROM because I thought I put the wrong one on or something. Give it a try. I'm just as addicted dude, stock Android is almost sickening at this point. Lol.
[G1 Android Development] ToTheMAX:
I actually did this too, but to be fair this is really the first rom I've ever flashed, so I chalked it up to my noobishness.

Ok i flash 2.4 this morning and its been lil laggy for me but its alright..a little slower than 2.3.5 and since wen was screen**** included...it doesnt work for me
[G1 Android Development] sullitf:
Someone running the 2.4 do me a favor. I think I may have found something interesting with the whole memory issue. Go to terminal and enter the following

$ su
# cat /proc/meminfo

You should see a print out of all the memory the phone currently has. Linux can sometimes have a problem where it doesn't recognize all your available memory, though usually its not an issue and even if it is you won't notice it with 2GB of ram on a desktop.

Report back what the MemTotal is said to be. I am currently on a Cyanogen rom so it could be different, but mine is reporting 97908kB of total memory, or about half of the 192MB the G1 has. This isn't a normal linux distro so maybe it is somehow splitting the memory up before this file is created, but as far as I can tell it seems that Android may not be recognizing all of the ram available.

If this is the case we may simply need to tell android there is in fact 192MB of ram available and it will stop having memory issues!
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
the 96mb ram is correct, it has 96mb for apps and the rest is for graphics, cache ect

Oh well, there has to be some way to fix it the key is just finding the one little trick I suppose
[G1 Android Development] Zarboz:
is this build less laggy than 2.3.5?
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:

[G1 Android Development] KennySmoothx:
Hmm slower, you sure? Its been running real smooth.

And screenshot you load it and give it SU rights. Then whenever u press camera button itll save a screenshot on your sdcard, not in the albums directory I think.

Well honestly I flashed last night and was using swapper on 32/60 and I havent had any lag to bout an hour ago. Then I just rebooted and ran swap again and its back to how it was last night.

But any who your gonna have to learn to make it run how you want to eventually because JAC said this is the baseline for upcoming releases.
