Lol, that did the trick! Can't believe I didn't think of that...

Another problem though, I can't seem to set the wallpaper from an image on my sd card. I tried copying an image file from the sd card to the phones system/customize/resource but it wouldn't let me paste in the folder, using Astro. I keep getting a fail error when I try.
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
have you tried hitting menu then wallpaper and setting it from there?
[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
Yes the check boxes are gone but you can still select and unselect the days.

A BIGGER problem is that the Alarm does NOT work! I tried setting it at 3 different times and the time came with out execution. I thought it was a simple bug a reboot would solve but no, i also did a fresh install with reformating the WHOLE sd card, recreating the partitions flashing (1.2) and still NO alarm when the time comes for it.

Anyone else?
[G1 Android Development] Picolini:
Yep. I've tried it that way, going to the picture in the albums app itself and clickin Set As as well. Didn't work. Same thing with going to settings then customize and setting it from there. I can set the lock screen image with one from my sd card however...
[G1 Android Development] fusionlayers:
quick question

ok whats the difference between adb and the us release of certain roms.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
ADP is the Android Developers Phone. Those builds are based off of an HTC build. The US versions are usually the Tmobile version that have amazonmp3, myfaves, and some other junk. At least that is how it is on the JF builds.
[G1 Android Development] itowudz09:
mine works perfectly fine:)
[G1 Android Development] instechgainza:
try to change wallpaper when the home screen is empty..no widgets..
[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
What version are you on?
[G1 Android Development] SolemnWishing:
Is it me.. or is the SMS issue back again, I sent myself four messages, not a single one was received. Going back to 2.7.4 LITE...
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Just push an MMS.apk from a previous build with ADB. I havent missed one since i did it
[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
I'm on 1.2 and just sent myself 5 messages and got all 5.

Is your alarm working?
[G1 Android Development] SolemnWishing:
I never got far enough to test the alarm.. I went back after I wasn't able to push the Launcher from 2.7.4 over, as I can't stand the lag because I need my phone to actually use and to use quickly haha. TouchFLO is a love I cannot have ):
[G1 Android Development] malaeus:
yeah, fresh install of radio and SPL *latest, fresh download on stable connection* fresh install of hero 1.2 , and nothing, boot loops on the HERO animation with the popping out android dudes.

help?

had 274 working. slowly, but working.

i have an 8GB class 6 properly partitioned. 800MB ext4 32MB linux-swap and rest fat32.

cyans 1.4 recovery. etc etc.

wtf?
[G1 Android Development] tenmichal:
I have the same problem.
[G1 Android Development] dincp:
Ditto on these parts for me. Checksums match.

i have an 8GB class 6 partitioned with this script (swap=32 ext4=512 fat32=sdcard remaining).
[G1 Android Development] bstapley:
Hey guys, 1st post here....so you're help is much appreciated! I'm trying to set swappiness to 60 by pulling the system/bin/a2sd folder via root explorer and moving a2sd to my sd card's root so I can edit the default swappiness from 30 to 60. Anyway...I've successfully edited the script to set it to 60 (using wordpad), but when I try to push it back through terminal using the following commands:

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblk3 /system

cp /sdcard/a2sd /system/bin/

chmod 775 /system/bin/a2sd

Reboot

It gets stuck on the G1 screen. I've searched this thread several times along with the whole xda site, but there isnt really any help for this error/issue. Any help would be awesome! Thanks in advance!

Oh and I'm running JACxHero v1.2 and I don't have ADB...
[G1 Android Development] dr3as:
It did that for me too, but after looping around an hour, it started up nice :P Strange, but it worked...
[G1 Android Development] sunny.ice:
ext4 is not supportet. Revert to ext3 and everything will be fine.
[G1 Android Development] dohon:
i've tried to search for how to reformat my sd card by console; but i haven't gotten to a solid answer. I'm just doing what the 1st page says:

Reboot and enter recovery

Enter console

#parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

#print (to verfiy we know what size card we are dealing with, the details should be straight forward)

rm 1

rm 2

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7200

mkpartfs primary ext2 7200 7700

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 7700 7732

is this how to do it from console? i'm getting bootloops & am hoping reformatting will fix it for me. I've already tried rewiping & reflashing :\
[G1 Android Development] :
try doing it from albums
[G1 Android Development] yourtravelboy:
Someone shared this with me and its worked every time.

Well I re-downloaded the update. and did this.

This is how I installed without any problems:

: rename to update.zip

: place in the root of sd card

: shut off device

: boot into recovery

: wipe

: go to console and hit enter

(enter)

# mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd

# cd /system/sd

# rm -rf /system/sd/*

# reboot recovery

: now wipe again

: repair ext system

: flash

Enjoy!!

I have ADB installed on my pc. and the mms.apk/odex from JACxHero 1.0 on c:\tmp\mms.apk \ mms.odex.

How do i push it then?

does ringtone trimmer still work on this rom if so were do i find it
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Put the file on your PC's desktop

open a command window for ADB

type:

adb push Desktop/Mms.apk system/sd/app_s

adb shell

reboot.

Done.
[G1 Android Development] clarkee:
How come every single ROM thread turns into an ADB 'How To' document? :confused:

SEARCH THE FORUMS, THE ANSWERS ARE ALREADY THERE!
[G1 Android Development] rjscott2005:
Can you tell us exactly which version of which ROM you grabbed MMS.apk from? I have tried several previous builds and have not been able to get any messages. Also, did you push the Mms.odex, and if so, was it from the same ROM/build as the Mms.apk?

Due to the hit or miss nature of this mms "issue", I'm wondering if the real problem may not have anything to do with the various ROM's. Possibly the SIM card somehow becomes corrupt?

Regards,
[G1 Android Development] Picolini:
I did that, see:

I seem to not have write access to the phone's storage, only the sd card. I obviously have root or I wouldn't have this ROM installed. But I just can't seem to change the wallpaper to anything on my sd card, or put images IN the wallpaper folder ON the phone's storage. The ones provided just aren't what I want... I want my own image as the wallpaper :(

A weird bug, my little brother sent a text and it gave me no notification. I am using Handcent for texts, I would like to point out. So he sent another two and for some reason they were dated from the day before...??

Also, why doesn't the LED work?? That really sucks, to put it simply.

Besides that, it's slow at times reloading the desktop. A lot of the time I get the HTC screen for about 5 seconds, then the Loading box over the blurred background for another 5-15 seconds before it finally loads. A bit disappointing... and the browser takes a little longer to initiate. Especially with the weird signing in thing it does when you first open it...
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
I used the Mms.apk from Drizzy's 2.7. No need to push the odex file. Just the Mms.apk works fine.

Log into your T-Mobile account and send yourself test message. I guarantee you'll get everyone.
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Please tell me your kidding? There os over 200 posts on this forum explaining that the LED's do not yest work on Hero.
[G1 Android Development] rjscott2005:
Thank you. To be clear, do you mean a previous (2.7) version of this one:	[ROM]Drizzy's NewVision Touchflo 3D v2.8 "July/30 *4:50pm*

If so, I'll look for it now.

Thanks again.
[G1 Android Development] dohon:
Thank you! I've saved a copy of this for reference :)
[G1 Android Development] malaeus:
how do i revert to ext3? and if it doesnt support ext4, then it must not do ext2 either, because i have had the same issue with it.
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
That should work fine, I just happen to use Touchflo 2.7.
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
It does support ext2 and 3.
[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
Force Close on Mount

I am getting a FC when mounting sd card to pc, I have to reboot to get it work.

Is it just me or is this a known issue, as search didnt come up with any results.
[G1 Android Development] rjscott2005:
I just tried using Mms.apk from TouchFlo 3D 2.8 and it still FC's. I did this:

$su

#mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

#rm /system/sd/app_s/Mms.apk

#cp /sdcard/Mms.apk /system/sd/app_s/

I'm going to try to find the version you're using and try again.

Thanks,
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
I didn't remove the old one. I used ABD and just pushed it form my desktop and rebooted.
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Give me your email and Ill send you the APK.
[G1 Android Development] rjscott2005:
rjscott2005@gmail.com

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:

[G1 Android Development] yourtravelboy:
You'll need to reflash to get your mms.apk back before you push the new (older) mms.apk.
[G1 Android Development] rjscott2005:
Doing that now. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] rivryan:

[G1 Android Development] tej2020:
Hi Bud, finally got it working....windows format wasnt liked by the phone, however when I clicked mount to open the sd card, it gave me an option 'Sd corrupt, would you like to Format'.....as soon as I said yes...everything worked, the scripts and the swap program but only version 0.1.1 The current one on market wasnt liked somehow by the rom??

Anyway all resolved cant complain....except for why are there no Wallpapers on this Rom? any ideas if i can get it from the web and save it to the phone memory? or do i have to make do with it on SD card?

Cheers
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
You don't need to reflash the ROM if that is what you mean. All you need to do is adb push, then reboot and your done.
[G1 Android Development] Picolini:
Calm down there killer. I knew that it was a Hero problem, and that no one has gotten the LED working. I was some what rhetorically asking why, I'm sure the technical reason is somewhat complicated.

But any help on the wallpaper thing guys? Is there a way I can force my phone to allow me to write to the phone storage space? I can't seem to and that would solve the problem.
[G1 Android Development] ce_rob:
as stupid as this may sound, have you tried rebooting? this happened to me yesterday...

i went to set my wallpaper and nothing changed. i turned the phone off, turned it on, and the old wallpaper was still set. i went back in and tried to change the wallpaper and it changed fine! i didn't do anything else but reboot and re-set the wallpaper. hth!
[G1 Android Development] theDante:
I had sort of the same problem.. my jpg extentions were all caps *.JPG and I could set the wallpaper until I changed them to *.jpg oh and .pngs just dont work at all.

[G1 Android Development] malaeus:
anyone, please? thats nice to know that it supports ext2 and 3, however. that doesnt help me. im stuck at ext4 now, thanks to noone saying it wasnt supported. and i dont know how to revert, and cant find anything in the forums about reverting the format. just upgrade_fs.

can someone tell me how to turn a ext4 into ext3
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Do the whole gparted part over again but do

rm 1

rm 2

rm 3

then everything that follows im pretty sure a search would have given you this answer cause i think its been brought up before
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Just redo your partitions and you will be fine.
[G1 Android Development] IamLugo:
Don't know if you have tried this, but there an app from the Market called root explorer that when opened, has a simple tab at the top to remount as read only or rewritable. U can do it with system storage and your ext3/4. Might help u with this issue.
[G1 Android Development] bstapley:
I believe you have to completely reformat your sd and start from scratch. I'm not aware of any way to "downgrade" from ext4 to ext3. Sux I know....I had to do it too!
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
To make your system writeable type this into terminal

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
[G1 Android Development] bstapley:
I just finished partitioning my sd card to have 96 mb linux-swap and now I'm trying to set swappiness to 60. I'm stuck!

Oh and I'm running JACxHero v1.2 and I don't have ADB...
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Problem is highlighted it should be

/mtdblock3 /system
[G1 Android Development] rjscott2005:
I did reflash the ROM based on the other guy's suggestion. I then did these steps:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\rscott>cd c:\android

C:\android>adb push Mms.apk /system/sd/app_s
1250 KB/s (1300567 bytes in 1.015s)

C:\android>

Next I rebooted. Then I attempted to open Messages and the app fc'd. I went to Applications>Manage applications>Messages and found that everything is 0.00B. I touched the About button and it is showing as Messages for Android Version 2.0.0075.44219 release-keys.

So now I'm not sure what to do next. I've done wipes in the past and that hasn't helped. I'm getting somewhat dazed and confused due to this mms issue. It can't be widespread in the community because there just aren't that many people discussing it here.

What next?
[G1 Android Development] bstapley:
Thanks for the help! However....I performed the above stated change,(/mtdblock3 /system) and it's still stuck at the G1 screen. I went ahead and even checked the the system/bin/a2sd folder in root explorer and opened it up as a text file and sure enough the swappiness was set to 60 there. So...satisfied I rebooted the phone and it's stuck again :(
[G1 Android Development] IamLugo:
The only thing I can think of is that something in the a2sd file was altered when you edited it. I've read a couple posts where people said they used wordpad and had the same end result. I used plain old text editor on my pc and its worked fine. Wish I could help otherwise.

Try this open up the a2sd file with wordpad, save it without changing the swap, push and see if u get a boot loop again. If so then u know its wordpad altering the code upon opening and saving. Or just use another program to edit it all together.
[G1 Android Development] parrothd:
Don't use wordpad or notepad it appends ^M to every line in the a2sd script and causes it not to run. Unpack the update.zip file and push an unedited a2sd.sh file to the phone. Learn to use VI from the terminal window to edit the file, or use 'dos2unix'(command line) to change the format of the file from windows to unix...

Problem with loop

I dont know whether this problem is posted before , but i couldnt maake 1.2 work , i updated for JACHERO 2.3.5 with 1.4 recovery , repaired partition , wiped data but it cant boot beyond HTC ..

simply its switching from HERO-->htc-->HERO-->HTC logos thats it not going beyond that, what should i do , what is the actual problem?
[G1 Android Development] bigchi2000:
Even after you follow every step correctly sometimes your rom will still bootloop, redownload the zip file, remake your partitions, copy update, wipe, fix ext, then apply update... should work 2nd time around, it did for me

At this moment when i'm upgrading to a newer version all my data will be lost.. it would by nice to still keep them after an update. ;)
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
solution for missing sms?

i run on 1.1 just because of the speed and i was reading that the mms.apk does have problems compared to the one on 1.2, but i did notice that 1.2 runs a bit slower.

any missing sms fix on version 1.1 besides flashing 1.2.

lol me and the girlfriend got in a fight over me not replying back to text msgs so i am kinda feeling desperate for a fix now o.O
[G1 Android Development] bigchi2000:
Some people are using chompsms off the market, tried it and can't tell a difference, others, like myself pushed the mms.apk from a different rom, and 1.2 wit a 96mb linux swap and 60 swappiness is running smoother than 1.1 to me
[G1 Android Development] cyberrobin:
Get the Mms.apk from version 1.1/1.0 and push it to your /system/sd/app_s folder. them reboot. and that worked for me, i can send sms message;s now :D

[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Do yo have another way to look at the contents of the card (ie an sd card slot on your PC). If so check to see that you can still read the card. Check it in GParted so that you can see all the partitions.

Infinite reboot at HTC

well, ive followed all the directions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=533731

How long have you left it, I think there was someone else suffering from this, they left it plugged in and looping for just over an hour and it sorted itself out...? Think about 8 pages back
[G1 Android Development] Baldyman1966:
Redownload the update.

rename to update.zip (unless you have 1.4 recovery)

place in the root of sd card

shut off device

boot into recovery (power+home)

wipe

go to console and hit enter

# mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd

# cd /system/sd

# rm -rf /system/sd/*

# reboot recovery

now wipe again

repair ext system

flash
[G1 Android Development] Gh0sTly:
The issue is that it looks like it locks up, then reboots.

Ima try Baldyman1966's suggestion here. knowing my luck, its something with the way I formated the SD card. its a 2gb.

I know I gave it 512mb in the ext2, 32mb in swap, the rest was given to fat32. is there something I did wrong?

fantastic. its still looping reboot. now when I try to go into Parted, it now gives me: Error: No device found retry/cancel?

Also, does it matter that in the recovery menu, it says: Build CyanogenMod v1.3.1 + JF

Im really scared that I might be stuck now.

a few questions for the man

i'm currently running the cyanogen bleeding edge rom with aps2sd currently working. i used terminal to set the partitions manually.

my question is this, do i need to go through all the prep work again specifially for this build or can i just load the rom and see my programs there waiting for me?

also, how stable is this rom?

thanks
[G1 Android Development] sccdare18:
I was having this problem too. I fixed it by partitioning my sd card and adding ext3/ext4. Basically the partition that you have right now (if any) is still not capable to run all the roms info. it gets stuck and attempts to reboot. hope i helped. if need more assistance just ask. :-)
