Had to unpack com.htc.resources.apk and edit some files in there.. It was worth the effort; I know what to do with 9patch files now. A full theme might be forthcoming at some point :D
[G1 Android Development] Velhinho:
Nice job!

The 2.7.4 ROM version runs pretty fast... nice job! Thanks:D

Issues:

1- I cant enable wifi

2- Any app that uses weather interface, like calendar, clock and the own weather app, forces to close or dont work properly like images below:

Any fix suggestion?
[G1 Android Development] clintz:
There are about 20 posts explaining how to fix wifi in the last few pages, please go back, and read them for your solution. Weather has been discussed as well.
[G1 Android Development] chicojd:
Before you tell this guy to "search the thread"... pushed the wlan.ko as advised earlier in the thread to no avail. If anyone has any OTHER bright ideas, or we could wait for JAC to release a fix. Luckily for me, WiFi is not needed today, but tomorrow's another story all together!:cool:
[G1 Android Development] RaQHoliday:
Ok so my phone got REALLY laggy late yesterday evening; not entirely sure why? it was absolutely FLYING yesterday afternoon around 4:30pm when I'd just flashed 2.7.4 ... then around 10pm last night after being idle for a while, it just went all kindsa laggy. LOTS of force-close/wait prompts, I couldn't go between any apps without it taking forever. Yes, I pushed the userinit.sh file properly, my compression was at 78%. Yes I still had my linux-swap partition. Yes Wifi was working after i pushed the file. No I didn't change my swappiness.

I'm going back to 2.7.3 in the meantime. Hopefully this all gets straightened out, I'll keep watching.
[G1 Android Development] Velhinho:
So sorry... I just post my issues listed, but suggestion about fix really was asked for weather apps. I found wifi posts... sorry!:(
[G1 Android Development] clintz:
I wasn't scolding you, just pointing you in the direction to find your answers :)

[G1 Android Development] dexx40steve:
So, after trying the alternate home program in the 2.7.4 build I've come to the conclusion that the bane of all the Hero builds is TouchFLO. Apparently it's a winmobile program that was just hastily pasted/ported into Android. Perhaps a Hero ROM focused on removing TouchFLO would run much, much smoother?:confused:
[G1 Android Development] elcazador:
I'm using 2.6.3 and I do get my text msg and mms but my settings are totally different.

Question - should I change it for these above ?!

any info appreciate
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
thanks its good so far...does this also work with mms (pic msgn)
[G1 Android Development] RaQHoliday:
You basically just described 2.7.3SuperLite lol. It's on the first post.
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
Let me guess, compcache, with swappiness at 60 or 100?
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
wouldn't that be to much??? i'm assuming you wanna keep it around 30 to 60 area??? to much stuff standing in line to be compressed. it's kinda like a vip party compared to a everyone party right? lower swap allows for smaller lines and bigger swap makes for larger slower lines... =)
[G1 Android Development] Jason Syn:
Well after enabling CompCache and pushing the wlan.ko file to get WiFi working I am thoroughly impressed with the speed on this ROM! We'll see if has the normal 3 day lag starting, but by then 2.7.5 will be out and I'll just flash it! Hehe

Johnnylicious flash now!! Don't wait, operators are standing by! :D
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
how can i change my swappiness
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
Swappiness and Swap Size are completely different.

The swappiness value is inverse.

The lower the number, the more the ram is used, the higher the number, the more the swap is used.

Im running at 24mb swap (compcache) with 20 swappiness. Im gonna be testing 32/30 in a few days to see if there is a performance gain from this.
[G1 Android Development] RaQHoliday:
Nerp. Just laggy. :confused:
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
Edit the script.
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
Do you mind posting your settings then?
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
Your on compcache, and you didn't edit the script?

Did you even check what the swappiness is set at?

If its the script thats been floating around im 99% sure its 60.

So yeah.
[G1 Android Development] RaQHoliday:
No, I didn't edit the script, so more than likely it was 60 then.
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
Now your getting it :)
[G1 Android Development] :
Alright WTF? this rom was good yesterday now i've came across 3 htc load screens... i've done evrything with no errors...... now i'm seen some lag.

any ideas pplz?:mad:
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
i experienced the same until i restarted the phone
[G1 Android Development] The Spirit:
when will the final 2.4 be up?
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
and its live... slowSD should be soon
[G1 Android Development] jl1030:
thanks a million.

can u confirm the size of finalised 2.4 for us please? 75.8MB?

coz there had been a few different sizes.
[G1 Android Development] Jason Syn:
Yeah the most recent one is 75.8, the one before was 77.6...
[G1 Android Development] casper326:
G-Sensor doesn't work?!?!
[G1 Android Development] nigehkg:
NICE WORK!!

2.4 is quickest HERO ROM so far, not had any force closes etc.

Had to flash twice to get it to boot but other than that....very little lag - if any and as i don't use bluetooth simply tickled!!

Nice one.....keep on crackin'!:)
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
its fixed in final please re download

and slowSD is up

2.4 75.8MB same with slowSD
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
thank you gonna go test out both and see which one will let me sign into my google account cuz either i get google setup wizard force close or i cant even try to sign in at all...im praying one works....
[G1 Android Development] imaur:
swap partition

Version 2.4 is great! so far it is much more responsive than DrizzyJAC r2.3.6. With this install I added a linux-swap partition to my sd card. Does this version take advantage of this? Will future versions use this option?
[G1 Android Development] nigehkg:
Just found a little bug....

The camera is 90 deg counter clockwise in it orientation, also, when you turn camer the image rotates still out of true

Other than that still all good, will bounce through anything else i find - still the best so far!
[G1 Android Development] casper326:
Thanks BABY~
[G1 Android Development] maxisma:
What the hell does slowSD mean? What is changed in a slowSD version? And also: where is the changelog for 2.4?
[G1 Android Development] smnnekho:
could it be - JUST MAYBE - that all information is not only all over this thread but also in the very first post?
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
omfg after nearly 5 hours of stressful flashing i was right the slow sd version was the only one that would let me sign into my google account....every other version of 2.4 would either have a force close of google partner setup or google setup wizard which both didnt allow me to sign into google AT ALL...i think this should be looked into for future reference to help others who may come across it...either that or leave those two .apk's on the phone in both builds. just some ideas thanks for the slow sd version its a blast.
[G1 Android Development] smnnekho:
Since i'm quite a wiper nowadays i really got used to setting up everything daily (-;

The only thing that is slightly annoying me are the bookmarks. Is there any way to save/backup/export them?

they have to be at least stored somewhere i guess (-;

i do know there are onyline-syncing bookmarks, apps and everything - but i like the fancy bookmark view and the widget (and i have quite some bookmarks to setup everytime) from the browser itself.

edit: just parsing /data/data/com.android.browser .... guess it's somewhere in there ...
[G1 Android Development] maxisma:
"2.4_slowSD which leaves /data/app_s and all the system processes internal for those using the stock G1 card or low class cards."

First post, sorry, didn't read carefully.
[G1 Android Development] ComplexMinded:
Im getting nothing but bootloops and I never have probelms! Did the usual re-formatted the ext3 - wiped - flashed... Then bootloops... Hmm ill keep trying
[G1 Android Development] ComplexMinded:
Fixed it. If you have the problem with bootlooping and have already re-formatted your card, try wiping and flashing without reformatting again.. did the trick for me
[G1 Android Development] Ted417:
Do I need to partition my SDcard if I'm going to install the Slow-SD?... please reply! :)
[G1 Android Development] smnnekho:
Launcher

mmmh.. i just flashed .4

i already figured the default launcher was added back - but it is intentional that there is no rosie anymore? cant delete launcher as default usage for home button neither...

bad flash or intentional?

Nevermind - found rosie.apk in /system/sd/app_s/ but i go a parsing error so it seems to be corrupted. i'll just try to flash again
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Hmmm im at swapiness 0 and my swap file size is 5mb.....i barely notice a speed difference
[G1 Android Development] Lou2serious:
2.7.3 lite is what you want then
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
Swappiness 0 means youre not using a swap file at all. Try setting it between 20 and 60 (depending on your liking). And a 5MB swapfile is way too small to be of any use. Try to make it between 32 and 64MB.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Wait u sure...cuz i was researchin yesterday n found out tht 0 swapiness means tht the swap shud only be used when the ram really needs it. and the reason i put it to 5mb cuz when i check the status of how much i've used...i barely use 2mb. unless im misinterpretting the adb shell free (command)...
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
Ok so i tried cat /proc/ramzswap and it says file not found I see people are pushing the userinit. To check if compache is working but than other people say jac says not to, so do I? And if I do have to I don't have/use adb so what are the commands so I can do it through terminal
[G1 Android Development] elcazador:
here you go:

Change the settings to the following:

Name: T-Mobile US

APN: epc.tmobile.com

proxy: not set

port: not set

Username: none

Password: ****

Server *)

MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

MMS Proxy: not set

MMC: 310

APN type: not set

Most stuf are not set but I do sent and received msg.

That's weird lol
[G1 Android Development] kingskidd268:
that is my Orginal G1 setting from T-mobile U.S.A
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
With swappiness set to 0, you wont have any application memory that is swapped out (which is what you don't want, you actually want the swap file to be used to swapout application memory). So the swap file that you need to use to swap out applications to the swap memory won't do it's job. Set the swappiness higher to something like 20, and the swapfile to about 32 and you'll notice the swap being used more, and a performance increase.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Aight got u man....thnx for the info
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
few more hours and the rooting will begin lol um guys can we go straight from jf adp 1.5 to this build? and do we flash the new radio before we flash that rom or it doesent matter? and just to make shure once im on Jf 1.5 make shure my radio is up to date, make shure im on Hardspl, then rename haykuro's 1.33.2005 spl to update then flash it. should reboot back to recovery go into adb and enter the commands to mount sd, put jf 1.5 adp back on sd and reflash and everything should go great?
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
rad the 1st page....then read "lets fix that spl" thread
[G1 Android Development] riogrande100:
JACHeroski no wifi or bluetooth

Just downloaded and installed JACHeroSki and it works much faster (almost sans Rosie speeds) the the previous iterations, but wifi and bluetooth is not working.
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
bluetooth has never worked and wifi is a known issue. pull and push an older wlan to fix wifi or wait for the next update...
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
ok guys phone just came in the mail. i have the DREAIMG.nbh file. my phone is on the 1.5 crb43. thats rootable right?
[G1 Android Development] dipeshb:
No mulitouch!!

Is this happening to anyone else.. in 2.74 Comp? I have lost MT...
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
i think the kernel doesnt support mt
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
yup 10char...
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
anyone know?
[G1 Android Development] clintz:
Ok, well I was having issues with 2.7.3 slowSD so I decided to go to 2.74 and enable compcache. I'm at 78% compression and its not too bad, I have had some force closes but for the most part reboting the phone got rid of that. Not too shabby :)
[G1 Android Development] The Spirit:
Can someone please tell me step by step how to fix the wlan problem under 2.7.4
[G1 Android Development] clintz:
There is another thread that tells how to push the userinit over terminal, the compcache thread, at the end of the first post.
[G1 Android Development] zdan:
Thats HTCMail

Just set up your HTC mail app to Gmail and you'll get that screen on the left. other one is the messaging app i think.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
ok completely rooted and all that. can i go straight to Jf 1.5 adp from rc29?
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
so do i push it or not?, like i said alot of people say yes others say jac says not to
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
Sure, you click on the link at the top that says "Search this thread", you type in wlan.ko and press search. After that, you dig through the last couple of days of posts, find the one with the answer, and do it. **Hint: It's the posts that talk about pushing over the file into the modules directory.
[G1 Android Development] taifuller:
LAG?

I've been running JAC's roms for a little while now and was excited when CompCache came to his roms but I'm not seeing the speedboost everyone is claiming. I have everything up and running just fine I even changed my swappiness but no noticable increase vs 2.7.3 to me. Am I the only one experiencing this?

Can we be more specific when whe say no lag? Meaning where did you once notice it and how has it improved?
[G1 Android Development] moosefist:
what is the recommended size for a compcache partition? I know 32-64 was recommended for linux-swap, but with compcache is it good to go bigger? maybe 128-256?
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
I dont get why this doesnt have multitouch...cyanogens rom which uses his kernel has it ?..
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
There is no setting the size of the compcache partition as it's not really a partition. It's actually storing compressed data in RAM.
[G1 Android Development] josevtome:
Should I resize the swap partition as now have the compcache active? I have mine in 32mb, It's ok this size, shorter, larger?
[G1 Android Development] clintz:
If you have version 2.7.4, yes. Older, no.
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
ok i renamed it to userinit.sh than pushed it through terminal, turn off and turned on my phone went to terminal typed

su

cat /proc/ramzswap

and got no such file or directory
[G1 Android Development] Dror520:
hey, so I just got my new class 6 8gb sd card. I have the 2.7.4 version already installed on using my previous sd card. How do I swtich them? do I just put the new sd card partition it (do I need linux-swap parition now that we are using compcache?) ? or do I need to wipe and flash the rom again? thanks!
[G1 Android Development] clintz:
Thats weird, I did it the same way and it works, you may have typo'd something or messed up the rename? I dunno... Double check the file extention to make sure its .sh and not .sh.txt
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
Do some research before you speak.

When initializing the module you can set the disksize. The defualt script has it set to 32mb.

If you do not know how it works, don't spread false info please.
[G1 Android Development] Bzerk1:
hate to sound like an idiot, but i got no idea what compcache is or the benefit of it. so i have 2 questions, what is compcache going to do for JACHero? and how is everyones experience with 2.7.4?

i just jumped back down to 3.6.8.1 cyanogen, so i dont really want to hop back on JACHero rom until it's very fast and stable, i cant afford to miss any info, although id love to have the hero.
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
so i checked on linda make sure it was right name went back to terminal pushed again turned phone off took battery out put back in went to terminal and worked 74% goodcomp, could it been that my phone didnt restart just by turning on and off? but it seems is workin just as fast as it was before userinit. my was workin really fast already thats why i wasnt sure whether to push or not i guess i'll see later on. did get a couple of load screens after using browser for a long time the hitting home before pushing userinit.
[G1 Android Development] anddep:
i took my leap into 2.7.4, NEED TO GET MULTI-TOUCH WORKING! other then that the speed is GREAT!(like tony the tiger) im at 75% compression.. apps load alot quicker and weather works. i was on the sideline reading and said EFF IT! and im glad i did :D im good on this plus im lazy to flash back
[G1 Android Development] clintz:
Yeah, just look at the userinit.sh file in notepad and you can see that
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
Yay, someone knows how it actually works! :D I thought i was the only one!
[G1 Android Development] Wisefire:
Just installed 2.7.3. Runs great. I was running 7.1 or something. My Messaging app force closes now though.. Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] clintz:
I'd like to know this as well, I will be getting a class 6 card in the mail in about a week, hopefully we will be on JAChero 2.8 by then :-D
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
Sorry, forgot you actually set how much RAM you would want to use for the compcache. Why don't you try some different sizes and report back which one works the best? I don't think anyone has been discussing different sizes of compcache, just different sizes of linux-swap. You're always welcome to search this forum and see if someone has set it to anything different too.
[G1 Android Development] clintz:
I cant answer for anyone else but myself.

So far I have mixed feelings. I still get lag coming back to the touchflo interface, sometimes it will even crash. Granted I am on a 4gb class 4 sd card, I was hoping the compcache would help me more because of that.

Hero is pretty sweet, even with the bugginess I am experiencing. I'm still getting texts and calls, AFAIK not missing any, so its worth it to me.

EDIT: right after I say this I get a loading screen loop trying to load up touchflo, only way out is to reboot it.. bah.
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
Just to think, in mid-August or so, the official Hero rom will be out and we will all have something new to play with. From a review I read at Gizmodo though (pretty extensive) the actual Hero is pretty slow and laggy. That seemed to be their major gripe with the phone. I wonder if some of the things we've figured out here will be implemented into the actual firmware at a later date. Here's to crossing your fingers and waiting :)
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
i realized after pushing the "newer" Mms.apk sending / recieving messages are faster and you get a bigger "send" button to press instead of the small one which was found in the older JACHero 1.72 builds.

Screenshot of larger "send" button.

i still recieve all my sms / mms
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
yeah since multitouch aint working the the magnifyin no longer pops up on browser how do you zoom?
[G1 Android Development] anddep:
double tap the screen
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
I just looked at the Browser and couldn't find a way. Try using Steel in the meantime. It's not the greatest of browsers, but it'll work till multi-touch is back.

Edit: NM, just found that you can double tap the screen.

Edit2: Oops, looks like anddep found it first :)
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
Which mms.apk did you push exactly? Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
For me 24/20 has been good :)
[G1 Android Development] citydog5:

[G1 Android Development] Bzerk1:
ok it sounds like i shouldnt jump back on the band wagon yet, id love to toy around with my g1 but its my main number i cant mess with it too much, gotta run business. thanks.
[G1 Android Development] anddep:
dont the g1 stock come without multitouch? just wondering..
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
the one from 2.7.1 well i had the original mms.apk then pushed the older one from 1.72 and then pushed back the newer one.

ima stay on the new one. i see no issues for me others may or maynot.
[G1 Android Development] Bzerk1:
yeah g1 stock = no multi touch.
[G1 Android Development] Dror520:
So if I just got a new class 6 8gb sd card how do I change the sd cards so now I can use the new one thanks!
[G1 Android Development] bigballa:
hey...

any chance of getting a half apps2sd version?

the full apps2sd even on a class 6 card isnt as smooth if there were only the uneeded apps on there

who needs unlimited free space on their phone memory? its not smart in my view...

any chance of that happening?
[G1 Android Development] clintz:
yeah, I ended up downgrading, I can't deal with a messed up phone, my wife gives me too much crap if I dont call her back lol
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
Cyanogen's is configured to run with cyanogen's JF MT browser, not the Hero browser which needs the HTC MT framework implemented.
[G1 Android Development] startekee:
Please don't get mad but I've been out of the loop for a minute and I need some help.

When I try to send a message the app crashes.

Can someone tell me how to fix that.
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
My phone was running EXTREMELY laggy running the stock 2.7.3 - I was seeing loading screens all the time, phone was almost unusable.

I found out it was stock only running a clock of 248. I set that up to 528 as both minimum and max using Marcus's "open overclocker" from the Market- and set the swappiness at 80 -

su

echo 80 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

My swap partition is only 32mb- and I haven't seen any noticeable drop in battery life. And now running Rosie, it's actually VERY snappy and fast, I have the mail widget and the standard clock/weather widget plus several icons.

I was just about to put a rogers rom back on, and now I've only seen 1 loading screen (after loading the full weather app), and it's running great.

Just an FYI of my experience.
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
BTW: in order for wifi to work you need the wlan.ko from cyano's build, if you just push the 2.7.3 wlan.ko it still won't work.

The kernel is different thus the versioning of the modules is different, thus you need a wlan.ko that was built on cyano's build :)
[G1 Android Development] bigslanki:
WoW way to summarize!!!! lol u need some help......The older blah blah newer make up ur mind.

either you pushed the Mms from the 2.71 or from the 1.72???

Geez
