So surprise! I think the reason to make G1 lag is weather widget, mail widget and music widget! When you slide to these widget. Your mobile must connect to internet and list all your memory card's musics. If internet speed is slow, it will make your mobile slow down,too.
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
So basically, we should switch to WiFi.

EDIT: Yup, switched to WiFi and the works screens scroll smoothly. No lag.
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
I can see the weather and mail widgets using data, but the music widget? It's just reading the files in your sd card, why would it need a data connection?
[G1 Android Development] ioshen:
Maybe the lag resides in the time needed to scan the SD for changes or data (sorry if sounds funny... newbie here)
[G1 Android Development] MvP77:
Yeah i noticed this a couple builds ago.
[G1 Android Development] sullitf:
The music widget definitely slows things down a lot. I haven't used it since the early 2.x builds because of it. I'm not sure if it is the fact that the Music app stays open in the background eating up valuable memory or the widget rechecking my SD card for new songs, but it was way too slow for me. If it does indeed recheck the SD card often I could absolutely see that causing quite a bit of lag, I have an 8GB card with 4.33GB worth of music, I think its something like 1550 songs. Between scanning the card and compiling a list of all the songs/bands/etc it would take a lot of processing time.

EDIT: I wonder if we would be able to modify the weather, mail, and stock widgets to only recompile a list at given intervals of time (yes I do like the stock widget, it just takes up too much time at battery in its current form).

Biggest Lie Posted here. I have slow_SD running perfect.
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
haha, i dont know that thats a lie necessarily. It seems 2 people can format their cards, wipe before they flash and still get different results, i dont know why but it really seems to vary, maybe brand of sd card...beats me
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
Well for me it was slow, I should've stated that. Did you do anything special to it?

sms issue

ok got jachero 2.6.3 installed, with the 3 swap partitions on my card. everything is working wonderfully. the only thing that is really bugging me is i cant change the notification sound for sms. i tried in settings but it doesn't seem to work. and its stuck on something really long. any ideas?

i've seen the posts about pushing mms to replace the one in the rom but i don't have adb and i don't own a PC i have a Mac. any help would be appreciated.

great ROM!!! thanks JAC
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Im guessing they dont have a linux swap file or a ext3 partition. i have the 1gb sdcard that came with the phone.
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
I have the card that came with the phone as well. Fill me in on how you got it running perfect..
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
if this is towards me then nope. Uninstalled Worthless apps no one uses with root explorer but thats it.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Um alright.. You have all three partitions? Only Possible reason i could think of is maybe you have to many apps, or your running to many things at once. ive had this installed since he released it.. no restarts even after uninstalling apps. i have the messaging and weather Widget running also with no lag intervals.. only lag i seem to get is from going into weather and deleting locations.. and from accidently pressing home from having the keyboard slid open from messaging.. but even that loads 20x faster than it used to.
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Your thinking to hard its simple to change it go into messages hit menu click settings and scroll down to the bottom of the settings and look at that change notification sound
[G1 Android Development] steveruv:
so i have to repartition thru partition manager.

should i use the same exact setitings with the ext3 as i had previously with the ext2? so my fat 32 would be _____, ext3______ and linux32.

also, do i have to do anything with overclock and swapper? in an earlier post, i was getting a 0 for swapper, that should be resolved once the partitions are fixed, yes?

thanks!
[G1 Android Development] genomeprjct:
yep that was it. missed that part in the recovery console

anywho... I think i messed up during install. phone's incredibly slow. i gave linux-swap 269mb. is that too big?
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
I don't have my card partitioned. It wouldn't do it for me in Paragon Manager 9.0 because it was the stock card I thought..
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Are you insane dude.. subtract ur damn linux swap by about 237 mb..
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Dude lol.. No wonder this is slow as **** for you lol.. Just use Cyan 1.3.1 recovery you can do it from the phone lol..
[G1 Android Development] joshduke2004:
Thanks for the help larryhi, that worked perfectly.....I'm having another minor problem with the HERO ROM 2.3.6.zip.....

Cant reboot when I apply the partitioned mb size to apptosd, the blue reboot button will not do anything or from the terminal <# su><# reboot> wont work either.

Do you think I need to wipe and load the ROM again?
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
Oh, lol. Aight I'm looking at the recovery what do I go to in it? I didn't know you could partition the stock card.
[G1 Android Development] KennySmoothx:
These are the steps I took with my 1 GB Stock Sd Card. I have my phone running as smooth as its gonna get.
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
to partition the card go to console
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Just look at kenny's post lol.
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
Wow thanks :D. And that will make the fat32/ext3/linux swap file on my card? Not to sound like a noob but how do I use ADB to put the update on my card, as I am currently running it 2.63. I really have no clue about ADB, as I used terminal for everything.
[G1 Android Development] guyverunit:
LOL thanks. i do have a tendency to over think things, now i have everything i want....for now hehehe
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
hmm.. whyd u get 600.. i got 500 lol.. hm.. ehh whateves everything still is silk anyways lol
[G1 Android Development] KennySmoothx:
Here you go

Do you have ADB installed?
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
KennySmoothx i want to see something can you go into ur weather widget for me and just do a quick change to something then press the home button and tell me if you get a htc screen? this seems to be the only way i get one and if you dont i might have to change my primary and ext3 lol
[G1 Android Development] KennySmoothx:
lol not sure this is what I used

600 FAT32

384 Ext2

32 Linux-Swap

1016 total.

How big is ur ext2?
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
Nah I don't have it installed. I just have to install the driver and SDK right? Those all go on my computer? And when you say updateofyourchoice.zip what goes there?
[G1 Android Development] steveruv:
dont worry, i dont really have a clue to adb as i use terminal for everything...have a slight idea though.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
um.. i dont even know lol i was just focusing on a 500 mb ext3 and a 32 mb linux swap lol.. can i check them from recovery or do i have to go to console? and check the post above urs if you hadnt already lol
[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
Quick question

does ne1 know the location of the wallpaper gallery folder???
[G1 Android Development] KennySmoothx:
Rearranged cities changed from Celsius to Fahrenheit and pressed Home and no HTC screen
[G1 Android Development] KennySmoothx:
Lol yeah I replied and to see all your partitions and their sizes

Just put into recovery and then

Enter console

#parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

#print
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
Damn I was wondering why I can't keep loading screens, this is suppose to run smooth on the stock card, what have I been missing, lol. Do I need to partition my card everytime I install a new update? I am about to start on it now. Just to download the ADB SDK.
[G1 Android Development] igloo77055:
Yeah, I did that for People, and com.htc.socialnetwork.provider

after a reboot I tried to edit a contact, and I couldn't

Just like before =/
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
are you looking to download the hero wallpapers?
[G1 Android Development] CPR123:
I have gotten HTC screen after browsing multiple web pages. Other than that it's all smooth
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
**** me lol.. Ugh damnit i gotta change mines to be like yours lol.. ok well delete a few locations then press home. if you dont lag there then i have to change lol and thanks for helping me with my little investigation lol
[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
i have them already, i just need the location to push them so they show up on the wallpaper gallery when i try to change the wallpaper
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
NOOPE lol.
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
Wow, how do you install the ADB drivers I'm getting confused, lmao.
[G1 Android Development] KennySmoothx:
Deleted all cities except 1 and woah I got HTC screen haha... No need to repartition :P

Oh wait nvm. But wait how do I get it to recognize my G1 again, I already mounted it before trying to do this, lol. So now it doesn't say new device recognized or anything.
[G1 Android Development] KennySmoothx:
Lol.. Right click on My Computer.. then click Manage

When the window pops up click Device Manager.. Look for a Yellow Triangle (One should be your phone..use commen sense to figure which one)

Click to install drivers and then choose to locate the drivers

Depending on whether you have 32 or 64 bit windows chose the x86(32 bit) ir the x64(64 bit) Folder.

If drivers for your android is already installed and you do not see ADB Interface Device on your device manager. Follow through this guide.. This is last resort though.

[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
oh PHEW ok lol. Not saying im happy that it lagged but like i am so i dont gotta wipe my partitions and all that lol. But thats the only way i see a htc screen is from that. And I was reading about that post with the Weather, Mail widgets slows down phone thing. Has that happened to you? it doesent for me well from what ive seen lol and im on 3g. But i do wish there was some way to Have it update Hourly or every 2 hours instead of every damn minute lol. Maybe i might change it from getting data automatically and just update it manually when i want to. Think that might help?
[G1 Android Development] kevincerna990:
Can someone post how to make the 3 partitions in a 1GB sd plz?? Sorry if this had been answer before but I searched it but I didn't find it...
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
yea so how do I get ride of the ugly green box in call icon and replace it with the simple green phone icon? also how do I get the H icon back and get rid of the 3G one that has that ugly box around it :-\
[G1 Android Development] g2crx:
It's on the First Page.All you have to do is pull the calculator out and do the math.
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:

[G1 Android Development] KennySmoothx:
Dude please read I posted the exact instructions not even 10 minutes ago here you go

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4127044&postcount=2096

Well the more things you have updating..like mail.. the more things you have running on the background and hogging its ram. So it might make a difference if you are a bit sluggish. Weather has been probably the most laggy widget I've had and I personally dont like using it.
[G1 Android Development] kevincerna990:
I don't know how to do it lol sorry

Can u pm me how to do it plz?

I would really appreciate it! Thanks in advance!
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
When I type in rm 2 it says error partition doesn't exist. Is that ok?
[G1 Android Development] KennySmoothx:
Yup rm is short for remove.. If you dont have any other partition its alright just go to the next step
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
Aight I entered in mkpartfs primary fat32 0 600 and it said file system type? (ext2)? and I pressed Enter. Than it said Start. And I am pressing enter but nothing is happening it just keeps saying start, lol.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Ah mk. i dont use mail. and well im not sluggish at all lol but i was just wondering if that would help some lol.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Start put 0 lol

then it will say end then put 600 lol

and ext2 should be a primary..
[G1 Android Development] KennySmoothx:
That happened to me when it says start type the two numbers you put after mkpartfs for instance you in this case would type 0 600 after 'Start?'
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
Oh, lol. Alright, and what do you mean? I just typed what kennysmooth put, lol.

Aight I did that, and now when I tried mkpartfs primary ext2 600 984 it says too many primary partitions, lol. Damn this is hard work for such a short process.
[G1 Android Development] andrews240:
I do believe that the 0 - 600 should be FAT32
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
Yeah I did that part, and now when I try for ext2 it says too many primary partitions.
[G1 Android Development] KennySmoothx:
Oh dude when u were doing your Fat32 you did it as a ext2 I think..

Type this..

rm1

Then do your fat32 partition again, if it asks you this question ext2? type fat32 and then press Enter
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
Aight I did that, and now it still says too many primary partitions. Hmm I pressed rm 1 and than when it said ext 2 i put fat 32 and pressed enter. And when I tried the ext2 again it said to many primary partitions.
[G1 Android Development] KennySmoothx:
Hmmm... Type #Print.. and tell me what shows up
[G1 Android Development] jaygajay:
You guys getting a load screen because I didn't. I haven't have one load screen since I've installed. Even with deleting the cities in the Weather app. I was even playing music at the same time when I was deleting the 6 extra citites and even adding 1 and then deleting it again and then I press home button and it came up within like 1.5 seconds with no load screen.
[G1 Android Development] paindoo:
WOW!!!

I have been running this rom for over 36 hours and I must say its a dream come true. But But one tiny problem, when I receive or make call I only see mobile number and not the name associated with that number, any fix for that. I am getting all my numbers sync with exchange
[G1 Android Development] andrews240:
Time to start over. Here's KennySmoothx's instructions again:
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
In print it says:

Model: unknown (unknown)

disk: /dev/block/mmcblk0: 1022MB

sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

partition table: loop

Number: 1

Start: 0.00B

End: 1022MB

Size: 1022MB

File System: fat32

Flags: blank
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
i get names on calls since i flashed the build. maybe try synching again or if all else fails reflash, but it looks like jac has something for us tonight so if its an update you may just want to wait for it...
[G1 Android Development] KennySmoothx:
Your primary fat32 partition takes up all the space.. sure your putting the right size when doing your fat32 partition?
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
Yeah I put 0 when it said start, and than 600 when it said end.
[G1 Android Development] KennySmoothx:
Try when it says Start? type 0 600.. then type #Print and see how big ur partition is then.
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
It says the same thing. Hmmm, was I suppose to format my SD card before doing this?
[G1 Android Development] spiderman_anhvu:
waiting for working Bluetooth :) I believe it will be a perfect rom for G1 :)
[G1 Android Development] KennySmoothx:
nope the rm 1 and rm 2 delete all your partitions so it formats ur sd card..
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
That's weird than, I don't know why it's not working.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
okay i hope there's an update tonight

i realized yesterday was my first day without flashing a new HERO build to my phone hahaha. i kinda miss it :/
[G1 Android Development] alexosaki:
I see what you did there :D

Seriously, everyone who has worked on this rom deserves so much credit it's not even funny. Imagine if the G1 had shipped with a UI like this?

On a user-to-user level, is there any consensus on how big the swap partition should be? I went out and bought a class 6 card today and set 96 MB for the swap, of which I'm consistently using 45-50. It still runs pretty slow for me, like when I'm sending an SMS or editing a contact and going to a different screen there's a couple of seconds of lag or a "loading" screen. Should I drop the partition to 32 MB? 64 MB? Kill all my widgets (just using weather + SMS + contacts, but apparently Weather's pretty resource-heavy)?
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Just wipe and rm everything and try again dude. and if you get a error on rm 2 somethings wrong with ur sd maybe.

Why is every time I flash a hero rom, use Swapper and apps2sd it runs super smooth for about a day and then gets slower and slower to the point of it being so slow It takes like 3 mins for the status bar to come down if it even does. Any advice, maybe some help?
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
I think i might switch to using wifi. Do the weather updates that occur run better on wifi? and is wifi generally better than using 3g network?
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:

SMS is working fine for me, however HTTPS is broken but was working in 2.3.5
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
1. You dont have to, but its recomended to prevent bootloops forcecloses ect, but the newer versions autowipe anyways, and i believe for these purpose. I think the devs are implamenting it so that a wipe is not req. but i can be wrong. (im not entirely sure on this)

2. Nope you Radio and SPL stay forever untill you manually change them, you don't need to redo these after every wipe. Your just wasting time.

3. Make sure your not setting from pressing Menu -> Wallpaper, instead go to menu > settings> Personalize > Change wallpaper lock screen ect, however i recomend you using the app "Wallpaper Set & Save" as it works a lot better than the default, and its keeps its highquality resolution.

4. No Clue

5. I dont think you can for hero, you'd have to ask others, but i think if you login to yahoo, you can forward your emails to your google account.

6. For me Overclock is at Min:128 Max: 528 Swapper 32/10, and it works flawlessly no lag no htc screen and no forcecloses. Insanely fast.
