I searched but to no avail.

Coming from CM-4.something, erased everything on on the ext3 partition, wiped, flashed.

When I boot, I get stuck at the HTC screen. I can turn on/off the screen, get the lock screen, but the only thing that shows up after is the htc screen. Cant figure it out.

[edit] Searched, but the thread is so long, I couldnt find anything.

[editx2] to avoid cluttering this thing up more, I'm waiting another 30 mins, then calling it with another phone. I'll remove edits if it doesnt work. Thx.
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
Wait another 10min...
[G1 Android Development] icpeanuts:
Is there going to be any new update anytime soon? I am itching to try Cyanogenmod, but I like Jac's hero. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] HTCG1:
I am expecting a Donut ROM..........
[G1 Android Development] Bonsatsu:
Just for future reference, this also happened to me.

I solved it by wiping my fat32 partition. It seems something stored on it was causing JACxHERO not to properly boot.

I suggest booting into recovery, going to console, removing all partitions and re-partitioning, wipe just in case, and flash the rom. Worked for me and I was getting the same error.
[G1 Android Development] icpeanuts:
I just tried Cyanogenmod 4.1.19, The radio of this ROM changed.

Do I need to downgrade the radio for this to work with JacxHero Rom? I read elsewhere that it should work, I want to know from the Modder, thanks.
[G1 Android Development] Ooglez:
From what I understand, the new 1.6 image you flashed on top of your current radio was the exact same radio. The SPL wasn't touched either, so you should be OK. I'm flashing it right now, so I'll edit with my results.

EDIT: Works just dandy.. came from 4.1.99
[G1 Android Development] Fictionles:
Running 2.2r4: I received a black screen reboot after having it on standby for over 7 hours. I just exited the browser when it rebooted. I'm thinking its a low memory or out of memory condition but I'll need to get logs to confirmed.

Edit: Going to try some auto-end app stuff to see if its that.
[G1 Android Development] trclev:
If I go from 32mb swap to 64mb swap, will that effect other roms I may flash (I use Xrom 1.5r4 now), because in original it said not to go over 32mb. Just want to know if 64mb swap is only suggested for this hero rom? Thank you.
[G1 Android Development] thecritics:
@miketaylor00, cc, etc...

Have you guys stopped developing hero? I saw on cc's twitter that he is working on blur now. And i havent heard anymore on the other experimental bfs updates you guys have been working on. If you have its cool, im just wondering. 2.2r4 definatels needs more work to be stable, but i would like to see a functioning blur rom lol.

Had to flash away from 22r4, rosie got too sluggish. And while 1.6r2a is great as a daily hero, a little more speed would have been nice.

Either way, i look forward to what you guys come out with next.
[G1 Android Development] Charly_One:
Thanx, will try it right away. Have been partying at the biggest beer drinking party of Europe (Oktoberfest Munich Germany) this weekend, so I didn't see your message earlier.
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
No the update will still be coming either tonight or in the morning,but yes blur is in the plans but I will not leav this ROM alone I will still run it on my MT3G and blur on the G1 so Hero still alive but there are limited things its needs anymore.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
You will be fine with xROM. When you switch back, try installing 1.5r3. It has BFS and r4 doesn't. Just make sure you delete the setPriority.sh file after you flash it. Let me know if you need help doing that. Send me a PM.

Basically BFS does a better job of managing memory than the OS did on it's own. So it can handle 64MB of swap much better. It's not required but it helps.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Just to clear things up...

I've seen a few posts over the last few days that referred to this ROM as being mine or atleast the remix. It's really not in any way. Cyrowski has been doing all of the dev work on this as of lately and he deserves all credit for that. I've found a few fixes here and there but mostly I have been testing and tuning and giving input on what should or shouldn't be included - mostly from a performance standpoint. Manup has been invaluable lately too, helping test with his mytouch and fixing the sound issue on the r4 remix.

I'm not singling anyone out. No one needs to explain their comments or why they said something a certain way. I just want to make sure that credit is given where it is due. Cyrowski often gets forgotten on this ROM because it has the JAC name at the beginning of it. But take my word for it, he has been working his butt off lately to get this ROM to where it is now and it's not so distant stable future.

2.2R4 Remix

10/6 Update: This morning instability increased drastically (many FC's, 2 reboots). I removed and re-created the linux-swap partition to see if this helps.
[G1 Android Development] emilj:
HELP

Okay, no issues ever installing any ROMs... first attempt at HERO...I wipes, setup partitions no problem (this is easy stuff).. i even redid partitions twice just in case... reinstalled radio per instructions & SPL in that order... attempted process all over again as well...

I get the same issue as the guy I quoted but I dont see anyone responding with a resolution... i tried wiping & re partitioning & fixing ext... cant make it work...

Any help is appreciated...

I'm on G1.

64mb swap

ext3 200mb

Trying to install 2.2r4 remix.

I should be up & running right now.. not sure what is going on...

*EDIT*

Okay redownloaded RADIO, SPL & REMIX again. Wiped card started ALL over fresh... installed radio again, then SPL then 2.2r4 remix after recreating partitions & wipe. It installed fine. Will report any issues or bugs.

*EDIT*

Everything is running great... got a few loading screens when I accidentally hit home with keyboard out (known issue).... I noticed that SD Card speeds are strangely slow... about 1.40mbps versus about 5.0mbps on CY 4.0.4. Any thoughts? Maybe has to do with the swap slowing things down? I dont know enough of the back end. So far everything else is running great. No crashes, its does feel (subjectively) just a LITTLE TAD slower than CY 4.0.4.
[G1 Android Development] HTCG1:
Can you upload non-odexed HTCFootprints/widget as well?
[G1 Android Development] emat:
Same for me, I am on 2.2a. Huge instability coming after 4 days use.
[G1 Android Development] mylostlonelysoul:
Can I use the Donut update they put on the forum on the JACHeroskiv2.b?

OH and if I can do I use OTA or ADP .zip file?

>_<

Yes, this is a related topic. xD
[G1 Android Development] nicotera:
Great Rom!

This iworks the rom I have in use full time. Minimal slowdowns just getting out of browser and of course the force close on people search.

I flashed on mytouch and am pleased however I am considering buying the hero due to the increased memory for the sense UI.

My carrier is T-mobile and they require 1700/2100 Mhz frequency for 3g

Is it possible flash a radio or is this a hardware issue in order to utilize 3g on the t-mobile network?

Thanks for your great rom. I look foward to your next improvement. If you could add MP3 amazon and voice dial, that would really make your rom the total full featured Hero rom out there.

I will be donating to your efforts.

Frank
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
hardware issue. but hopefully HTC makes a North American GSM version with full American 3G support. and hopefully it supports the full HSPA+ standard that T-Mobile's working on :D 21mbps is awesome
[G1 Android Development] felixmo:
i seem to have solved the lockscreen not responding/reboot issue

on my phone

:D

if you have setcpu or another overclocking application try disabling "sleep profile" where it downclocks when you go to sleep

im not sure if it will solve the issue for anyone else but it seems to be working for me:)
[G1 Android Development] icpeanuts:

my two testers says v2.3 (is that what we're on?) has been running smooth.

No reboots or black screens for me either. it's running BFS-303.

Anyway, I'm going to release it tonight! I'll include those audio files while I'm at it.

And sorry for the delay, I've just been messing around with Donut, and work of course. And the Tigers lost last night, so my heart is heavy with grief.
[G1 Android Development] lucky 69:
well im still on 2.2r4 remix.been running all week only had 1 reboot and 1 black screen .i love this rom ! well be looking for the next release thanks !

are you saying BFS-303 should fix reboot problem? I was running 2.2r4 remix, just got 2 reboots in 30 minutes after flashed.
[G1 Android Development] amirnew:
i love the 2.2r4 remix but i had countless reboots and some HTC screens.

i have the original USER.conf and 64MB swap partiton on class 6 16GB sd card.

waiting to the new release! u r coocking the best roms here i even don't dare anymore to try something else!

[G1 Android Development] icpeanuts:
This is going to be great, stability and speed.

Hopefully this is my last Hero ROM for a while so I do not need to re-install all the apps over and over again. Thank you.

Swap partition size for this Rom, is it going to be 64 or 96?
[G1 Android Development] dialdayo:
I am definitely loving the rom, this makes it fin to run hero again..however Day 1- Day 4 were great, everything was moving smoothly, Rosie was running real smooth no delays, however day 4- day 5 i have been experiencing heavy reboots..im not sure what the problem is, but Hero reboots randomly during standby, and even during a phone call..i was using the latest rom version B. i wiped and reflashed and i will be trying out version A. Also, should i uninstall swapper, does that have an effect on anything?
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
1. DON'T USE SWAPPER!!!

2. the B and every other rom with the RAM hack has had problems... A should be fine

Request for 2.3

Hello-

Just 2 fix requests for 2.3:

1. Fix search function in People App.

2. Add text prediction/correction in Message App.

FWIW. As I am sure you already know, these are working in Modaco's version, but I would prefer to run yours.

Many thanks for all your hard work.....
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
3. Random reboots... ? My phone was just sitting there and rebooted. Is this related to the ram hack? I'm running the remix, FWIW. Other than that, this is the best Hero ROM I've ever run!
[G1 Android Development] mghtyred:
When will we see a donut hero rom??? Seems things have slowed down a bit for ol' Hero.
[G1 Android Development] JoeSzymkowicz:
Comcache Memlimit

In miketaylor's benchmarks of linux swap and compcache, he used a 18MB memlimit. In the 2.2 release, it's set by default to 48: is there any advantage of having it set to 48 instead of 18? Jac, you going to change the default in the next release?
[G1 Android Development] mylostlonelysoul:
when will we see the 2.3 release?
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Yeah, unfortunately I did that testing before I found out about how the memlimit works. I didn't want to spend another 6 hours of testing just to re do it and show the same trends. I did do a revised version of the testing in that spreadsheet that I always do before a release. It was even better with the higher memlimit. I guess you will just have to take my word for it though that the increased memlimit is a huge improvement. I could have just lied and changed those results to say that they were tested on a 48MB memlimit, but I didn't. I guess you will just have to trust me :)
[G1 Android Development] JoeSzymkowicz:
That's fine, just wanted to make sure I was using optimal settings. Soooooooo what about that 2.3 :p
[G1 Android Development] ArionRickAllen:
Yeah......

Maybe the new market stuff????

What happened to Facebook Photos for a contact in People? Im Only Seeing Flicker. Hope its fixed on 2.3 Update
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I'm testing a potential candidate for the 2.3 release. Staying up late just for you guys (you better appreciate it) ;). Cyrowski has been doing a lot of Donut dev lately so that he can figure out how to integrate it into Hero. There isn't much chance you will see Donut stuff in 2.3 but Cyrowski is working on it. That's part of the reason why 2.3 isn't ready yet. The other reason is that we told you it would be stable and it will be. I'll let you guys know what I think of this build tomorrow after I have used it for a while.
[G1 Android Development] mylostlonelysoul:
This version of hero, has some of the donut features, I just want the new app store.

Can't wait to try it out! :D
[G1 Android Development] matthewallen72:
No, he said this version will not have donut features.

It is soooo snappy, each application is loading really fast, there is no black screen or hang, no "retrieving sign-up details" from the browser, no latency... really pleasant.

I was like I swear I put that number in there, but just showed number. Though it only does that on a few, it shows the names sometimes. >_>
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
FYI currently kingklick's 1.6 is the fastest. but yeah CC i definitely wanna see 2.3 give it a run for the money :). last i used was 2.1 and it was good until i found modaco 1.5.1 lol.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
2.1 was not half as fast as 2.2r4 remix. Your comparison on which is the fastest is based on a really old build.

Miketaylor, where can we get the r4 remix? Wanna try that while im waiting for 2.3

Installed 2.0. Worked perfectly for about 3, maybe 4 weeks. Over the last 3-4 weeks this rom has practically made my phone unuseable and i just havn't had the time to find a better rom to flash. But basically here are the list of issues:

1) no notification sounds ever.

2) phone ring sound only 25% of the time. and of that about 90% of the time the sound lasts for 2-5 seconds when the phone still rings.

3) when someone who's in my phonebook calls, it shows the number but not the name, and then asks if i want to add the number to my phone book. But when i go into the call log it shows the person.

4) massive htclauncher crashes

5) 2+ reboots per day

6) Browser constantly freezes and/or crashes the phone

7) phone locks up when trying to unlock and forces removing the battery. button reboot won't work.

8) lock screen freezes or lags so bad you can't unlock the phone

9) alarm screen freezes and then the phone reboots when trying to turn off alarm. Sometimes it dosn't reboot.

10) freezes on trying to load up the app list. sometimes causes full crash.

So basically, will upgrading to 2.2 fix any of these. If the answer is NO for any of them please direct me in the direction of a better hero rom because my phone is currently useless as a phone.
[G1 Android Development] icpeanuts:
2.2x is fast but it has bugs, reboots, blackout etc... Wait for 2.3

I have been using KiNgxKxROM 1.6 for few days. I made some changes to the swap size partition and user.conf from various posts, it works well on my Class 6 sd card. It is very stable and overall performance is very good. I have not had a reboot/blackout since I installed it.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Run the following command from the recovery console

e2fsck -f /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Then recreate your swap partition with the recommended size. I'm betting from what you described it is much larger than the recommended swap size, but recreated it even if it is the right size. While you are in recovery run fix_permissions as well. If you should speed things up for you.
[G1 Android Development] cicihaha001:
So are we going to have 2.3 today?:)
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Depends on what you mean by today. It's Oct. 11th where I'm at. It *might* be out by the end of the day on the 11th but I haven't heard from Cyrowski on it yet so don't hold your breath. If you are hoping it will be done by the 10th, it is not going to happen. There is a new Hero dump floating around so I'm not sure how that will affect things yet.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
As far as good news, I havent had a single unintentional reboot on the build that I am on and people search does not fc and predictive text works.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
When one of your contacts calls, do you see their name or just a number?
[G1 Android Development] neok44:
well if 2.3 is coming soon then i guess i'll give it another couple days. Thanks for the replies. Pretty sure my swap is a 32 as it was recomended. but i honestly don't remember.

I'll wait for 2.3 and do a wipe and fresh install and see what happens. thanks for the replies. Now i just hope that 2.3 comes out within the next 24-48 hours

JACxHero v2.2 remix

Ok..... craziest thing EVER just happend... so yea while I'm on the phone having a conversation, the phone reboots; but that's not the crazy part... I had the phone on speaker, and the only reason why I knew the phone rebooted is because I heard the little android noises, and when I looked at the phone I saw the boot logos... but I was STILL TALKING... up until the lockscreen came up and said "out of service area" :eek::eek::eek:

....rather strange if you ask me... just thought I should share :confused:
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
It works, just click past the message that says that it doesn't.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I see my contacts.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
That's because the phone doesn't actually reboot as if it were starting from being powered off. What I've seen happen is that the phone will be working fine, and then without warning, it will go dark and come up on the Hero logo and basically boot from that point. Agreed that it's very weird. Hopefully v2.3 doesn't have this problem, as it's getting very irritating.

That's good to hear.
[G1 Android Development] tfoteh:
I want to thank all those who collaborated in making this rom. You all are truly amazing for contributing to this community in such a good way. I'm still fairly new to xda-developers and so far its been great to browse these forums. I would just like to state my two MAIN problems besides the occasional reboot and the lack of bluetooth. I know both of those are always being worked on. But these two I don't see much of on this thread.

1. Predictive text in the messaging app.

2. Most incoming calls show just the number and not the name.

I'm running 2.2b on my MyTouch.

Thanks again for a wonderful job.
