hi cc,

i found another bug of HTC Message Widget, it only can be slided by two pages of messages though it can show many messages,so many try it but only flip two...

u can try it~and waiting for submission and solution.
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
you mean if i have 4 sms in sms widget i cant see all sms ? cuz i have know 4 sms in the widget and i can scroll through all of them .
[G1 Android Development] Ayerwin:
yes, in sms widget you can only scroll recent one and before one,only two can scroll though there're 4 in sms box~

and i have try it many times, sometimes i found if i delete one sms in Widget directly,it will be scrolled for all. but then...can't delete others from widget....

so confused....sobing
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
Have you tried this and do you have the instructions?
[G1 Android Development] Aaron!:
I don't have this problem. Do you have the latest radio/spl and did you wipe before flashing?
[G1 Android Development] reddragond:
Hey guys. First off fantastic Rom, not only is it the quickest hero Rom I've ever tried but it's probably one of the fastest roms in general. I've only had one problem so far and that is whenever I use the soft keyboard for sms I can't get it to autocorrect. I reformatted the second partition and data before installing. I am running it on a rogers dream and I followed the rogers here's your real root guide. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!
[G1 Android Development] TitoXx:
if only bluetooth worked on this rom......maaaan
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
No offense, but this is the reason why threads get cluttered and true issues can't be addressed because they're lost in the sea of clutter. :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
It has to do with the HTC_IME.apk included in this build. If you want the auto-correct, you need the HTC_IME.apk and .odex from the HERO2 thread. I wrote instructions on how to do it a few pages back, just look for it.
[G1 Android Development] Nagoki:
I'm gonna have to revoke my earlier comment on leaving compcache on. Compcache made the rom become unresponsive within an hour of testing. Especially after the swap space reached 35+/96 megs. Thus I disabled compcache with the user.conf script and have been using linux swap at 90 swapiness since (outlasts compcache by far!).
[G1 Android Development] xitaxuta:
that's why people are complaining of this last build, just cause is compcache enabled by default and most of them dont know how to edit the user.conf file to make changes... i wonder why compcache is enable by default if linux-swap seems to be a better setup?
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Quick Speedy, just a tiny bit laggy. I fixed the major lagginess by changing Swap to 96 and swappiness to 90. Quick and snappy. I just need to update to the latest version to see any speed differences.

Running on a Class 2 Micro SD, :cool:
[G1 Android Development] djmikePeEezy:
I just installed this rom and I am getting an issue where it tells me that my SDCARD WAS REMOVED which wasn't. But when I restart and get into recovery, I am able to see my sdcard. Has anyone experienced this issue? I'm using a 2gb card with a 32mb swap.
[G1 Android Development] psxx:
G Sensor

G-Sensor not working with this rom?!

I am using a htc magic?! with JACxHEROSki-v1.7r2

could it be disabled?

another question... whats JacHeroski2.7.4r2.zip about?! i tried to search.. but didnt find any infos?!!? which rom ist the newest ... which should i use for htc magic?!

Please help!

SOLVED, i took the moded version for Saphire http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=550331
[G1 Android Development] reddragond:
Awesome, thanks so much!
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
I remember your last post about this, however the HERO2 thread was not up back then. You said to use the HTC_IME.apk from MoDaCo 1.5 and nothing about the .odex. I tried it and it did not work. Even tried again and with the recommendation of long-press and seeing if I got the Input Method pop-up, nothing.

Would the .odex still be needed even though 1.7r2 is non-odexed?
[G1 Android Development] shaolinx:
just flashed this V1.7, but stuck on the HTC screen for like 8 mins now... think it broke?

edit: fixed: took like 15 mins to load up...
[G1 Android Development] mcarey66:
For anyone that has seen this ROM slow down after a few days of use.

I've been using v1.7r2 for a little over 2 days now. The first day I ran it the speed was great. It has become a little slugish on day two. So I used the partition tool through adb and deleted the swap partition and created a new one. Once I restarted the phone it was just as fast as a fresh install.

I don't know if this is the best solution but it worked very well for me. Just thought I would share incase anyone else ran into the same problem
[G1 Android Development] :
every hero rom i flash does that on first boot too
[G1 Android Development] amirnew:
try to use "swapper" it has an option to format the partition. i use it a few times a day and it keeps my HERO rom runnin' fast.

amir
[G1 Android Development] d0g:
amirnew -- are you using swapper with a partition? Or a file?

When I try it, with a 96MB partition, most actions results in 'FAIL'
[G1 Android Development] mcarey66:
That's for the suggestion Amir. I had tried it before without good results but at that point I had almost no understanding of swap. At this point a have spent a lot of time learning about it so I'll give it another shot.

I'm not sure if this is possible but I wanted to leave the suggestion. From what I have read, when using linux swap for an extended period of time it tends to progressively slow down the more it is used.

So would it be possible to write a script that would integrate with the partitioning tool and reformat the linux-swap partition on boot. That way every time you reboot your phone that partition will start fresh when the phone loads. That should get rid of the progressive slow down issue that many people have.
[G1 Android Development] ce_rob:
along with task killer, rebooting every day or two (in the morning before unplugging and heading to work) helps keep the lag to a minimum. IMO, i think a constant reformat would be overkill...
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
That's a good idea, I wonder if its possible.
[G1 Android Development] danieljordanmaddux:
What I don't get is why everyone is jumping to conclusions about compcache without playing around with it a little first. I edited my user.conf and ran up the cc_disksize to 64 and have had no more loading screens than i did with my previous 128mb linux-swap with swappiness set to 120 and im also not seeing the "slow down" that i was having while using linux-swap
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Whats your Memory stick? I am running fine with a bit of stickiness. Changed swappiness to 60 and stickiness is less than it was with 90 swapiness.
[G1 Android Development] mcarey66:
I reboot at least once a day out of habit. I worked for Tmo's customer care for the last 4 years so it is one of those things that got ingrained into me. Even with task killer and regular reboots there is still a noticeable deterioration in the speed of the ROM. From what I have read one of the major causes of this is the linux-swap partition getting "gummed up" (correct me if I'm wrong). As soon as I remake that one partition the speed of the ROM is almost perfect again

The suggestion I made would be a reformat of that partition at the time the phone boots up so it's not something extra you have to go out of your way to do. So in a sense the only thing you need to worry about is power cycling your phone on a regular basis.

In theory it should eliminate the progressive speed decrease many of us experience.
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
What I'm gonna do is just reformat swap every once in a while and reboot. I can never get any task manager apps to work right because the apps I want to close don't show up, like the browser or htc music, or any market downloaded apps. I still want to try the latest version to see if there is any improvement, but I doubt I will see it since I am using a class 2 micro sd. . . :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] danieljordanmaddux:
I'm using a 16GB class 6 Transcend
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
I wish I had class 6. . .
[G1 Android Development] mcarey66:
I have a Transend 4g class 6 that I got about 2 months ago. I tried hero a few times when I had a class 2 then again when I got my class 6 and it was a huge speed difference.

You should check out Amazon Tito, that's where I got mine and I only paid $9 and change for it. It was well worth the investment.
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Hmm, well I have to see if my dad will let me. I would love to have a 16 gb class 6.

Is the speed equal to the ram?
[G1 Android Development] stanley.zhang:
Thank you very much!
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
I'm currently running Hero on an old no class 2gb card I had 2 or 3 years ago with my Dash and its still really really fast.
[G1 Android Development] bigchi2000:
Just wanted to say thanks for the user.conf, the settings keep my hero lag free after 2 days of use, tried swappiness of 90 wit 96 mb swap vs your swappiness settings, your settings were smoother, but the 90/96mb swap seemed more responsive and a little quicker, maybe its a placebo, i don't know how to benchmark so... thank you nonetheless.
[G1 Android Development] xitaxuta:
for those having problems with virtual keyboard predictive text in SMS try downloading TouchPal from market it works flawless
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Jesus 300mb swap :OOOOO. . . :eek::eek:. Is it "sticky" fast or "normal, how its supposed to be" fast??
[G1 Android Development] d0g:
Trying Touchpal ... but it just FCs.
[G1 Android Development] xitaxuta:
make sure you download TouchPal (Main) and the TouchPal English pack as well..

after that you can go to setting and select TouchPal and unselect Touch Input.

i actually deleted the HTC_IME.apk from /system/app which actually has 4mb
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
If you want to use the default IME in sms with predictive text, pm me and I'll let you know how
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
there were posts on the forum saying the RAM is something like Class 4 and thus a Class 6 would be better. if you're planning to get a new microSD i would go on Amazon and get those 8GB class 6 Sandisks, around $25 decent for the performance
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
yeah same here i was using the original one from the G1 but it kept crashing cuz i was running swap... got a new Sandisk Class 6 8GB =D
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
one way is to download benchmark and benchmark pi from the market. both free. tip from miketaylor00 himself
[G1 Android Development] xitaxuta:
guys i have to say TouchPal is way more responsive than the default HTC_IME.apk feels way more lighter and it actually takes less ram while running in background y'all should give it a try.. also you can switch off the prediction by a single click as well as sliding out the keyboard to the left thru different layouts !!
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
We wants BFS kernel on Rosie....:D

I think if something that can get rid of the lag in the Hero ROMs, then it is the BFS scheduler. Is it hard to borrow cyanogen's kernel and use it in this ROM? just a thought!
[G1 Android Development] xitaxuta:
i heard the speed is INSANELY fast ... is it really true?
[G1 Android Development] PeDe7:
donut

i know there's a dev version of the soon-to-be released 1.6 donut update. i wanted to know if the features of donut will be included in these hero roms i.e. gestures, universal search, updated android market etc. once the bugs have been worked out?? thanks in advance
[G1 Android Development] nabzilla1990:
im gonna try and throw it in it shouldnt cause a brick should it?
[G1 Android Development] nabzilla1990:
i threw the kernel it and it seems faster not sure yet will report back later got wifi working with it too everything seems to be working boot was really fast i noticed
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
lol, its blazing fast.:cool:
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
Yea I killed 2 original 1 gb G1 cards, that why I'm using the 2 gb.
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
Did you push or unzip, add then rezip?
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
Does anyone know where jacs kernel is located?

nvm, I found it.
[G1 Android Development] cicihaha001:
It seems we can't have 1.8 tonight, just a pity
[G1 Android Development] tf442:
JAC's Twitter says tonight. Where did you get the update of not tonight?
[G1 Android Development] jasonsplace:
That was posted yesterday on Twitter.
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
1.8 is out and running like a greased pig.
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
App prioritizing and BFS=WIN!
[G1 Android Development] blacjac17:
does bfs really speed up hero insanely like cyanogen rom, or it just seems smoother and a little bit faster
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
w00t. if this runs like CM new rom then this should be pleasing... backing up with switchrom now and then flashing this... ill post back with results in a few
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
Its quite a difference actually. With the new app prioritization I've never seen Hero run like this before...making receiving calls is a breeze.
[G1 Android Development] RaQHoliday:
YESH.

*rushes to download*

I waited on 1.7r2, saw a lot of complaints, but I'm jumping on 1.8 ASAP.
[G1 Android Development] blacjac17:
Is there a messaging problem with this rom like so many other ones
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
too soon to tell... it was just released, give us a minute or two to get it up and running.
[G1 Android Development] steven178s:
I don't think so if you set the priority to high
[G1 Android Development] steven178s:
1.8 is too good to be true lol :eek:

Are leds working on it
[G1 Android Development] imfloflo:
Wouuua fast like it :)
[G1 Android Development] xREVOx:
JAC, is there a no wipe update?
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
one thing that i have noticed is when the onscreen keyboard screen setup/tut comes up, the box and circle around the M key when i test MAGIC stays on there until reboot. weird...

EDIT- just tested sending lots of sms from google voice online. all went through and showed up immediately. this was upon first boot and nothing else running. im going to load it up and run all kinds of stuff and see if the messages slow down if running like my normal CM rom does.
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
some major updates here. worthy of a full wipe and repartition. What swaps u all usein?
[G1 Android Development] BRAND1SH:
waiting patiently for a mytouch port:rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] nestortoledo:
check the changelog.

-Sapphire support added

appear that work with magic/mytouch 3g
[G1 Android Development] Jrbourque:
there is sapphire support already there
[G1 Android Development] imfloflo:
The current city auto detect for the weather of the clock stilldoesn't work to bad, i must set my city myself. and change it if i move.
[G1 Android Development] njuncos:
was running absolutely great for the first few minutes...then i got a call and it never came through...the phone app FC'd...then acore FC

back to cm-4.1.6
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
awesome thx for 1.8!
[G1 Android Development] masarliev:
Today I installed new Radio, SPL and JACHEROsku 1.7.2 with no problems and after that I installed Macado's ROM with no problem but when I tried to install new 1.8 JAC's ROM the phone started to loop on HTC logo and I tried 3 different ROMs and they can't load.

Repartiotioned, ReWipe, and no result and now I cant even use adb because it can't find my device

Any suggestions to solve this problem
[G1 Android Development] bizz3d:
It worked for me, it did have a error connection but when i hit retry it found it. i normal dont use this clock because it almost always slows down my phone. i use the market flip clock and works every time.

since we are back to swap what are you guys using? last i read a few pages back before 1.8 was 90? ill run it as is 30? and see how it runs if not ill push my user.conf file and test it out.
[G1 Android Development] Jrbourque:
after you formatted sd card again did you "check file systems" in recovery?
[G1 Android Development] vro25:
What does that mean exactly - kinda vague... "Support" for which model - 32A/32B - or both? JAC?
[G1 Android Development] FAMBOLUGA:
this is the smoothest hero yet. just called myself from home no FC, just sent myself 5 texts from another phone and got all 5 of them. good stuff
[G1 Android Development] xitaxuta:
Best HERO to date !! exellent kernel guys!

but i miss MT :mad:
[G1 Android Development] D3NNY:
i second that.....is it fully compatible?
[G1 Android Development] masarliev:
Yes I formated it with parted and with apacer partition editor under ubuntu with no result
[G1 Android Development] Jrbourque:
try to use gparted that comes with the phone
[G1 Android Development] nestortoledo:
i flashed but get some problems. no wifi, very slow ...

the the boot.img that load is for dream not for magic, but i found a folder inside /system/bin/sapphire/

that contain some files

wlan.ko wifi driver

sapphire kernel for magic

libA2DP.so for bluetooth music

liba2sp2.sp for bluetooth usic

Ive copy wlan.ko in /system/lib/modules/

and .so files in /system/lib/

then rename sapphire into boot.img and made a

fastboot flash boot boot.img to flash the sapphire kernel.

now all work fine
[G1 Android Development] masarliev:
are you sure that problem is in sdcard because ubuntu partition editor is gparted
[G1 Android Development] bizz3d:
Those of you having issues please, please, do not just format. You will have problems. why? i'm guessing that something is left behind and screws up the install. Start from scratch and repartition your sdcards. This always works for me and I have never had any issues with any Hero.

I use a 8gb card portioned exactly how its listed on the first post and upgrade from ext2 to 3 then to ext4 with parted.
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
loaded the phone up, all my apps, got widgets and home screen running at full, sent 50 test messages, did the alphabet once through, and then sent various messages from 1 page to 3 pages long... all of them went through. woohoo!! gonna keep a close eye on this... on a sidenote... for those of you that are scared to flash a new rom and lose your apps, do this...

on a fresh ROM install, go to market first. all of the apps from your old ROM should still be under my downloads. from there you can install everything you had before, you have to do them one by one, but it beats trying to remember and having to search for them all over again.
[G1 Android Development] D3NNY:
thanks may try it out soon!
[G1 Android Development] masarliev:
I am going to do this for 4th time but the worst part is that I can't use ADB and can't see logcat

I am so nervous now if this time wont load I will throw my phone from the window
[G1 Android Development] jmotyka:
This is amazingly fast, almost as fast as a cyanogen rom. Great job to all devs. I dont use a 3rd partition for linux swap, i use swapper and its been running excellently. Cant wait to see more improvements.
[G1 Android Development] Six6Sicks:
Fast? No.

Really Fast? No.

AMAZINGLY FAST! YES!

Awesome job!

Finally a Hero I can depend on.

Thank you.
[G1 Android Development] Coderedpl:
Do we need EXT4 for better speed or it wont make a difference between ext3 and ext4?

so fat 32, linux-swap and ext2?

What sizes do you guys recommend for a 8017mb card class6?

I usually did this:

8017 - 64mblinux swap = 7921

7921 - 500ext2 = 7421
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
hope someone can test the battery life on this :/
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
ok guys here is my problem. i tried to disable touch input under locale and text and that worked fine. (i was seeing if i disabled touch input it would remove the M setup box from the first boot) well when i go back into locale and text, i get a FC. i can go into all other settings but upon selection of Locale and Text i immediately get an FC. any way i can enable touch input again without having to flash again... second question. if i do have to flash again, do i need to wipe... i know that sounds like a noob thing to ask, but i know some of these, if not all of the newer roms are a no-wipe process.

thanks guys

EDIT- i know before we would get force closes out our a$$ if we opened the keyboard on the home screen, but i just did it and while it wont rotate, it does work! i am able to navigate around the home screen with the keyboard open. pretty sweet. just thought you guys would care to know lol
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
ext4 > ext3 by very very little. linux-swap is at 48mb for me. Its different for everyone depending on how many apps you like to run at once. THe less, the less swap, more --> more swap

going to have to wait a few hours! :) Shouldn't be any different because BFS doesnt have battery draining effects (so ive heard)
[G1 Android Development] Bzerk1:
Do you have your g1 charging while you let it load? because for some reason i found is when i charge my phone (through usb labtop for me) during it booting up to load the rom the first time, it never fully loads everything, and starts boot looping later.
[G1 Android Development] Coderedpl:
Whats the real benefit of doing ext4 then ?
[G1 Android Development] r1tman:
You dont have to do all of that .... start any terminal program and type magic which runs the script which makes this rom 32B magic 100% compatible
[G1 Android Development] xitaxuta:
fat32

ext2

linux-swap

do this on recovery console

(using parted) "remember this will DELETE all of your sdcard DATA so BACKUP everything you need FIRST!!

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

type print to see the total MB for the SDCARD assuming that's what u really said 8017MB

removing existing partitions first !

rm1

rm2

rm3

now creating new partitions sizes !

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7421

mkpartfs primary ext2 7421 7921

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 7921 8017

now type:

quit (enter)

upgrade_fs (enter)

reboot recovery

wipe

repair

wipe

flash

PS.

simple formula:

fat32 = (sdcard size) - 500 - 96

ext2 = 500

linux-swap = 96
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
so is it really necessary to completly reformat sd card or only if you have problems?
[G1 Android Development] jasonsplace:
It's running extremely well for me so far but I did notice that when you swipe from screen to screen, the black bar at the bottom (Phone, App, and Add Widget button) disappear. It's not a huge deal but aesthetically I think it's nicer if it doesn't disappear. Is it supposed to be doing that?

Edit: I just changed my swappiness and it's not disappearing anymore. Weird.
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
safe bet to always leave g1 unplugged through flashing and full first boot.
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
i've remade partitions twice now and d/l 2 different links for the rom and i still boot-loop gah.. gonna try not having it plugged in and see if that works...

1.8 is fast and smooth
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
uninstalled touch input and i was able to get it working. i may just leave it off. any time i try to open settings with touch input installed on the phone i get a settings force close. is anyone able to reproduce this? - - - i de-selected touch input and settings and after i did that, i am unable to open settings in locale and text.

now touchpal is FC... weird... never had this problem before on any rom. i may just reflash and try it all over again. but in other words. this ROM is sick. fast, reliable and overall great- got touchpal working... time to work on touch input.
