[G1 Android Development] waxman2009:
I just tried deleting the entire music folder and then repopulated the new one. It started to refresh but then once it hit 80 it stopped and it seems as if it force closed without actually force closing. What I mean is that once it hit 80 from the music list, it closed, showed a black screen for a second, then displayed the music player itself.

OK, I have a problem with 2.1. It's not reading my sd card now. the apps are on the ext3 and Compache is working, but my files on the card are not being properly read. Any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] roguestatuskat:
what class card are you running?

does the computer read it?

did you clear your dalvik/wipe/wipe sd card?

reflash?

I have to say that this is the best Hero build I have tried by far. It is as fast as cupcake even with all 7 pages filled up with widgets.

The only problem I have is that Google Maps won't find my location with 3g even with GPS turned on, but if I turn off 3G then it works right away. Is there a way to fix this or is this a common problem with the Hero builds? Thanks to anyone that helps.

Unless you feel a noticeable difference between 384000 and 245760 for the scaling_min_freq, you might want to use the lower one since it could help with battery life.

[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
Heeeyyyy...

I just realized something... I had to port MyFaves.apk into the /data/app_s folder. But my question is why doesn't MyFaves come with any on the Hero ROMs already?

Is there a reason why you guys leave this app out?
[G1 Android Development] tee aiy emm:
Yeah, I had this problem a few times. The texts come through, but there's no notification for it.
[G1 Android Development] tee aiy emm:
MyFaves is a resource hog
[G1 Android Development] roguestatuskat:
your better off using the HTC people widget it look better and its more light weight

but if your will die if you dont have it then put on your phone
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
Really? I haven't noticed... my phone runs like a heavyweight champ with MyFaves.

Speaking of champ, by the way, maybe some have noticed this already but this ROM is running super clean without compcache running. I am using the linux-swap only and it is blazing on my class 2 sdcard. I ran the linux-swap with the Modaco 1.5.1 build and JACHeroSki 1.8 and got the same results... zero loading screens, no FCs... just swift execution throughout.

I ran compcache/linux-swap and then just compcache and it was blazin but not BLAZIN. Linux-swap is holdin no punches on this build.
[G1 Android Development] tee aiy emm:
Really? That's good to know .. I haven't used MyFaves since jesusfreke's build lol

Same here, I'm running only with linux-swap on a class 2 card and I would say it's as snappy as cyan's builds :D love it (haven't tried the new experimental line tho)
[G1 Android Development] mcarey66:
The 2.1 drop is slammin'. It is way fast right out of the box. But it didn't seem smooth enough with the stock settings. So I made a couple changes might be worth trying if anyone is having any issues.

So I changed over from compcash to linux-swap and tweaked the cpu scaling like many others mentioned.

96mb Swap partition

Swappiness is at 60

Set scaling_min_freq to 384000

It's smooth as can be right now, even with all home screens used and HTC widgets on all of them.

I couldn't ask for more.

And one more thing...

I'm not trying to be disrespectful in any manner but I want to explain something. I have been coming to this forum even since I got my G1 last October. From then until the current time I went from knowing nothing (what the hell is root?) to the point where I have pretty much everything down packed (aside form the dev side of things).

During that time I didn't post a single question. Every time I ran into a brick wall due to my lack of knowledge on the subject I hunkered down and searched the hell out of these threads, did a lot of reading and learned what I needed. It worked 100% of the time and proves you can find anything you need by using the SERACH option. This forum is a GOLD MINE of information about your G1/Magic.

At this point I have only posted around 10 times which has taken place is the last 7 days. The only reason I posted is because there are a lot of awesome people on these boards that work very hard for all of us, so I want to be able to add value back after being given the chance to learn so much.

By going and asking a question that could of been answered by taking a couple minutes to do the research yourself is simply shameful and an insult to all of us that have worked diligently to educate ourselves to the levels we are at. Anyone on this forum that has a good understanding of the topics discussed here did not get that way by magic. It was achieved through searching and reading about the topics.

Again I am by no means trying to be disrespectful. However, by asking these questions without doing the work and searching for yourself leads to these threads getting Way to cluttered, It upsets those of us that have taken the time to do the research which occasionally leads heated responses which leads to the exchange of words which leads to more unrelated posts clogging up the thread causing more people to ask questions because they don't want to read through a bunch of posts of people bickering.

So in closing I must say to anyone that is even thinking about posting a question. Take a couple minutes and search around for yourself, chances are the answer is right in front of you and you never know, you might learn some other cool stuff by reading around all the threads. There are some super smart people here that have left gold for you. You just need to search for it

If you have a question please visit the link below, it will answer it for you, every time...

For any 1 having trouble

For any 1 having trouble with the loading htc screen push this user.conf to your phone and all your problems will be solved :D

just change the end of the file from txt to conf then use adb to push it. Here is the code to push it

adb remount

adb push user.conf /system/bin/user.conf

Questions!!!!

Ok. I have been following this forum threads for a long time just never have posted anything. I know how annoying it is to see the same questions over and over when there is a search bar at the top. But I have a couple questions and having a hard time finding the answers. 1st off I have the 2.1 Rom and at first when I install the Rom it run great. The fastest out of any Rom. If I open the keyboard while in home screen or have it open when going to home screen the HTC screen will pop up then it has to load. Takes about 20 seconds. Is this normal? And should I clear ext3? If so I'm not for sure how to do this without clearing the whole card formatting and then wipe and load. I have a Class 4 4gb scan disk card, 96MB linux-swap with swappiness set at 80.Im currently using linux swap but was using compcache with cc backing swap with swappiness set at 60 and memlit 32. Right now I have my scaling freq set at 384000 with a threshold at 35. Could anyone let me know if this is ok and what I should do. Also MikeTaylor thanks for all your help through email, Without your help wouldn't have got this far and know what I do now!...Great Hero Rom Devs.
[G1 Android Development] Bzerk1:
-while in homescreen going into landscape mode does not work, because the hero doesnt have it. so if you open up to the keyboard and it loads, or some roms force close, it's normal.

-seems like ur on a good track. only wipe your ext3 if you want to install a new rom.

dunno if you need to set the clocking in the builds, i heard you dont have to, and i heard its faster if you do. havent tested, usually keep mines stock and just listened to the devs.
[G1 Android Development] oilfieldsgreg:
Ok so maybe I should go ahead and start fresh with a whole reinstall of this rom. So if I want to do this do I wipe my whole memory card and reformat or do I only wipe ext3? If I only wipe ext3 could u give me instructions on how to do this or direct me somewhere to find out? And what is clocking? Thanks for the help

[G1 Android Development] Docavelli:
This build is very nice. I have been on 2.1 for 24 hrs. now and I can say that I'm loving it so far. I must say though that I beg to differ about the compcache w/ backing swap. In respect to the creators I tried the ROM "as is" out of the box. It was cool except for coming out of heavy web sites or really heavy apps. The real tester for me is going to espn.com. If a rom can load their page and then go immediately home w/o a load screen, it's good to go. Well, "as is", it couldn't do it so after a while I finally disabled CC w/ swap and went straight linux swap. I have a 96mb swap partition so I also changed my swappiness to 90. To top off the tweeks I'm also running set cpu with it set to 384/528 min/max. I didn't select start on boot as not to interfer with anything the ROM is setting up at start up. I don't reboot often so that's not a problem.

After those minor changes my phone is A1 (so far). I know everyone uses their phone differently and thus may need different tweeks but you guys that haven't found your "sweet spot" try these changes and I believe your phone should purr.

Now all I need is for palosjr to come correct with that transparent Rosie and lockscreen tweek and this ROM is golden! Pleeeeeease!

I'm still not sure whether to use this ROM or cyanogens I am worried that this ROM will have some problems and cyanogen is working fine for me. but i really like the Hero ROM
[G1 Android Development] zerolimit1:
ok after a couple of hours working with this I finally got it going again! I get a loading screen once in a while but its ok. Hopefully the next version is faster and they can edit the user config file so we dont get loading screen.

How can I put the new mms.apk on my phone? So how will I delete the old mms.apk off my phone? I don't have adb. BTW waiting on a message from gf. How will I delete mms.apk through the terminal? Thanks in advance Steve
[G1 Android Development] dbhatesyou:
this is true; oddly there is a landscape mode inside rosie.apk itsself; but since htc hero does not use a keyboard i dont see it needing to change from landscape to portrait unless you're using an app that needs to use landscape. with that being said wait until you're in an app that uses landscape before opening/closing the keyboard; never on the rosie/touchflo app itself
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
I have a version of 2.6 that has some edits i made,if anyone wants it p.m me.

Added themed launcher.

Added some stuff to rosie like the hero search bar instead of the normal android widget.

Added The big hero clock to use instead of the android default clock.

Added the hero looking music widget instead of the default one

To do:

More mods to rosie to improve it some more.

Edit the android calendar widget to match.

There are more things i want to do but want to get this stuff done first. :)
[G1 Android Development] Seeds:
the no rosie links dont work

Tried that still force close.... looking inside data/app_s using root explorer:

Mms.odex ---- size 724456 or 708kb

So your apk is there, I dont know why I keep getting FC
[G1 Android Development] xREVOx:
You need to remove Mms.odex also.

im having the same issue with 2.5r except wifi is unable to start. is there a fix to this problem??
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
It will keep forceclosing if you don't also remove the odex. You can also put your Mms.apk in the app_s folder if you are so inclined.

Cant we also Just use Root explorer, delete the mms apk and odex files, put the mms from 1.72 and install with root explorer? My Bad if this has already been covered but i just want to try and help :)

EDIT: install with apps installer?
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
i might of found a bug with the Mms.apk from 1.72 the ringtone selection doesn't stay saved when exiting messaging app.

it defaults to none and if you unclick vibrate it goes back to vibrate i missed like 5 text cause of it

has anyone else experience this?
[G1 Android Development] xREVOx:
Settings don't save. I'm looking into what is causing that. I have a feeling it's missing tables.
[G1 Android Development] Docavelli:
Do a nandroid backup of your cyan 4.0.4 then flash the JAC. Then you can decide if you want it yourself. No one can really tell you if a ROM is good for you.

And your market apps are kept for you under My Downloads. You can always get them back.
[G1 Android Development] brummiesteven:
I'm not 100% sure but in my previous experience... when going to a Hero rom from a non hero rom you need to wipe and reformat your EXT2/3 partition (ie get rid of your apps).

If you don't then when you boot up all you will get is a ton of FC errors for every app you have making it impossible to do anything (except press "force close" of course)
[G1 Android Development] Docavelli:
This build is plenty fast. Dont wait for the next update for a change in the user.conf. They may still change it to something you dont like. Edit the user.conf yourself. Everything to do it is out there.
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
It's a class 6 4 gig. Yeah i wiped ext3 and then even tried doing fresh partitions. My apps2sd work and th elinux swap partition work. Some reason it's not reading my fat32.

i made an ext2 partition, should i do the same, or make it an ext3 now.

Also won't this mean that i'll have to re-download all my apps again?

I installed 2.1 yesterday and only had one problem and that was within 4 hours of installing. It froze at idle and I couldn't get the thing to wake up for nothing. Pulled the battery and booted up no problem. Then today i decided to reboot and it for some reason 4 of my messages from yesterday resent to people with today's timestamp. Needless to say i had some very confused people text me back .. lol. Other than the normal other hero issuses this runs awesome. I have no loading screens "outta the box" and can now say i will more than likely use this as an everyday rom .. thanks ccryowski and JAC for your hard work.

as a side note .. i have not formated my ext3 partition since CM 4.0.4 and i went from there to heroski1.7r2 without formatting ... i haven't had a single proble except for having to reinstall google voice everytime :D .. guess i'm lucky :D
[G1 Android Development] ezstacks:
correct

I actually also cut off compcache and cc backingswap enabled linux-swap
[G1 Android Development] saffad:
I booted in recovery mode, done a wipe and applied the JAC .zip the installation failed:

i'm trying it again right now. edit: ok it failed again, don't have a clue how to fix it. i'm restoring the nandroid backup right now

edit: ok i think i am supposed to flash the SPL first, i haven't done it. will try do it now

[G1 Android Development] therealgillz:
Alright, I have a Rogers HTC Dream and I was running JacxHEROSki 1.5 on it for a while on my class 2. I got a Class6 SD card, so I reformatted it (Did it correctly with the 3 partitions with correct values), did the factory whip, and installed HEROSki 1.8.

The performance is good, but seems it could be a bit better. The clock with the weather doesn't work, I can't get sound notifications to work when I get an email or text (doesn't vibrate either) and the timestamps on my txt messages are still screwed up. I occasionally get some FC, and Loading screens.

Basically, 1.8 has less things working for me then 1.5. Is 1.7 better somehow? I just want simple features like the right timestamps, and working notifications, etc.

Ideas and thoughts would be appreciated =D
[G1 Android Development] yeticomes:
Hi,

sorry, to many posts since 2.1 so I allow me to ask if there are any problems with 2.1 & a 32MB Linux swap?

Does all Messages arrive & go out?

Do I need 64/96MBswap?

Should I re-format my ext2?

Or should I go to 1.8?!

Thanx for all answers, it is really helpful to get your advice!

Ok. I still have this ROM running and its pretty cool. I still get force closes about 4 times a day and the rom runs still pretty slow. I already made edits to the user.conf file.

I have been running this rom for most of yesterday and I thought this rom was great! I just got around to edditing my user.conf and all I can say is WOW! This thing is smoking fast! You guys are the best, well done on this rom. The only question I have now is....what does a loading screen look like again?.....can't remember since I haven't seen one in so long! Thanks for all the work put into these.

I'm loving 2.1, runs great with 96 mb swap w/ 96 swappiness

had a randomn reboot yesterday whilst trying to download ebuddy from the market, it froze for a couple secs then restarted.

No biggie though, unless it starts doing it in phone calls which i highly doubt it will.

My messages always have to be resent for them to go through, no probs recieving them though.

No force closes like the guy above me unless I install Aurora.

One more problem, NAAA IM JUST KIDDIN, GREAT JOB

Running ext4 helps too.

Remember though that on this rom, it's

# sh /system/bin/swap -s

The user.conf file is also in /system/bin, so to edit it, you need to pull it with adb or copy (cp) to your sdcard with terminal. Either way, you should still edit it with Notepad++
