That's what I figured, but I was hoping I might be wrong. I haven't seen any real method of mounting this phone functionally on a bike. Is there a RAM mount that works?
[Touch CDMA Accessories] Link9228:
I'm sorry, I don't know exactly what a RAM mount is. You could probably get a hard case for your phone and install that onto your bike, and put some mounting brackets to keep it on tight. I really don't have any other ideas.
[Touch CDMA Accessories] bogus83:
That's essentially what a RAM Mount is: http://www.ram-mount.com/

They sell mix-and-match parts, consisting of a base, an articulating piece, and a bit that holds your device. Some GPS and similar devices actually have a RAM-standard set of mounting holes. I'm not aware of anything like that for the Vogue, although there may be an aftermarket case with RAM mounting abilities... I'll have to look it up.

Thanks for the feedback!
[Touch CDMA Accessories] Link9228:
No problem. I hope you get it sorted out! It would be a bummer if you couldn't get it to function easily as a GPS for your bike!
[Touch CDMA Accessories] bogus83:
Agreed. I was looking at the more inexpensive bike-centric GPS units and realized that the TomTom Rider is essentially the same exact thing as the TomTom software on my phone. I'm likely going to be upgrading to an Android phone this fall/winter, so it'd be nice to retain some use from the Vogue.

Anyway, if I do get or build a mount, I'll post some shots in case anyone else has the same thought.
[Touch CDMA Accessories] Link9228:
Not to be completely off-topic, but android for the vogue is coming along nicely, so you COULD just keep the same phone. The only nice phone I know of for android coming out is the xperia II. I know there are others on the way... but that's the only one I know of right now

And pictures would be nice.
[Touch CDMA Accessories] bogus83:
To make a long story short, I don't have a data plan for my phone which is why I use TomTom for GPS (maps stored locally). In theory that should continue to work even when the phone itself is deactivated.

I've been waiting for a good QWERTY android phone. The Xperia II, if it's actually an android phone (and not WinMo as I'd heard) would do nicely. I do a lot of work "in the field" and being able to type up quick emails and documents would be nice. Too bad the Lancaster isn't spec'd as well as the Hero, or I'd consider that too. If the rumors of Sprint getting the Hero are true, there's a small chance they'll get a QWERTY version eventually, or something similar. The Touch Pro2 would be an option if it were fully functional under 'droid as well.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] jssingh:
Hi. I am looking for creating a shortcut (.lnk) to Settings -> Personal tab --> Phone --> Band tab without the need for clicking multiple times.

I know this is possible however I am not sure which program to call in the Windows directory and pass which parameters.

I guess its my way of not using Bandswitch on the phone since it isn't disabling my 3G. I do have a old version (1.2.3) of the software and don't want to pay for the latest and greatest one. The goal is to be on EDGE (for primarily savings battery) most of the time unless I really need 3G for say streaming of stuff. For my regular web access and email, EDGE should suffice.

Any one, please? I am sure the senior members know a few tricks!

Thanks a ton.

P.S. I asked this question in the Kaiser ROM development forum where someone suggested I should post it here.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Texas Ranger:
Try Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool which will enable you to install a 10 button Comm Manager with a button to toggle 3G.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] sarantos:
with notepad you write the following :

Settings>Personal>Phone>Band = 23#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,20,4

then save it as band.lnk in your device

[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
very nice job on putting this together, i seen you process and its amazing =D

gonna try it in a bit.
[G1 Android Development] jsramirez27:
Anxious to hear how this build is, Im running the older version and it works so well I dont wanna switch lol. Havent seen the loading screen ever since I flashed it.
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
downloading, gonna try first MaxismaJ and then this, :P i cannot leave Sense UI, dont think im gonna like MaxismaJ u.u although HTC Hero ROM's are a bit laggy i cannot go back xD im in love with the interface .
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Haha I know it's addicting.

The squashfs support is very experimental, I may remove it if after a day or so my phone is laggy.
[G1 Android Development] samethsom:
I find myself flashing a new rom atleast 3-4 times a day...LOL

Um...anyone try this one yet? Pros/Cons??
[G1 Android Development] alexj81:
First ski was really good flashing to ski 2 now
[G1 Android Development] alexj81:
for real! i think i have done 8 flashes with in the last 2 days. To me the ski is the best on my phone works well
[G1 Android Development] engagedtosmile:
just when I made it 1 day without flashing. lol

flashing now.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
This ROM isn't overclocked automatically, you'll have to download SetCPU or overclocker from the market.

And please remember, this one is still experimental, I'll be releasing a stable - yet different build - tomorrow.
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
yeahhh, u.u addicting , and like most of the users here, im flashing new ROM's like in 5 or 10 minutes xD

btw, im following you on Twiitter :P (aisakaxtaiga)
[G1 Android Development] renocivik:
definitely nice work

yah.. I think this is a great build.. I give major props for all of the hard work..
[G1 Android Development] horrorwolf:
This is my rom of choice for now. Keep up the great work.
[G1 Android Development] j2kquest:
wow only been awake an hour. This is the second rom im flasing already

great work
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
Hello again, just want to mention i am in jacheroski first version and its been really stable (I think its a keeper) I like to try 1.0 but you didn't mention your swappiness settings, also, can you plz let me know if the location of "a2sd" still "system/bin"? maybe I can just pull "a2sd" and modify the swappiness myself

thank you! you did a great job with the first version... flashing 1.0 now:)

EDIT: swappiness is set to 60 right?
[G1 Android Development] moshikko:
third flash today...

wow can't believe i'm lashing again today

my third time in the past 2 hrs LOL

anyways flashing right now

post results later...:D:D:D
[G1 Android Development] fdeschape:
Wow another Hero release! Sweet!!! if this continues we would have a regular Justice League of HERO's out there... Flashing now and will post a screenshot once im done:)
[G1 Android Development] moshikko:
looks fine but..

build looks fine but it's lagy

phone is very slow doesn't respond on time

it's like Vista with Aero on a Celeron based pc :rolleyes:

i would wait for a faster build to come

Going back to Cyan's 3.6.4.1 build - btw this build is like an XP on a QuadCore - fast as lightning

:D
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
haha yea I know, I messed up the squashfs support. Cooking another one now. Will up soon, test at your leisure!
[G1 Android Development] moshikko:
besides all that i gotta say that you are doing a great work for the hero community

Keep up the great work and looking forward to your next build

:cool:
[G1 Android Development] rumsey:
Hey guys, firstly I've never tried a Hero rom before because I'm not that fascinated with the UI changes and they are supposed to be slow as molasses - but judging from all the responses on tthe last few pages, this one sounds like a winner.

I only have one real question in deciding whether there is any reason to move to a Hero rom, and that is how does the flash work? Does flash really work from the browser like in the Hero videos by Adobe?

I guess what I need to know is: can you successfully play a video from megavideo with this rom?

Thanks for info guys :cool:
[G1 Android Development] samethsom:
Nice....Can't wait to update.

What's with the Lucid scripts? and how do i use it?
[G1 Android Development] Zarboz:
i just tried to flash 1.2c three times fresh wipe and format each time with fat 32 ext2 and linux swap partitions on a 4g class six mem card.. and each time it gets through everything loads homescreen for about 10 seconds goes black and starts loading home screen again.... got on adb and tried to see if swap was active and was reading all zeros so from what i read no... any help?
[G1 Android Development] samethsom:
um...try putting swapfile in /system/sd instead of your sdcard.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
I'm putting it in there mainly for a future build ;)

But if you do this in terminal:

$ su

# lucid

you'll get a bunch of options and it's pretty much self-explanatory. The a2sd stuff is kinda useless because you already have a2sd but there are some audio mod options etcc...

also, run

# lucid -u

to check for updates.
[G1 Android Development] samethsom:
You are the best :eek:!!!! Thank you for your hard work...much appreciated!!!

Downloading right now from my phone, will flash within 15 mins, And will let be back to give you some feedback.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Just found a bug.

if you

$ su

it will give you an error.

Quick fix (unfortunately you can't do this from terminal because it won't give you root access!)

download and unzip the attached file.

adb shell rm /system/bin/su

adb push <pathtofile>/su /system/bin/

will be re upping another one tomorrow to fix this and some other small things.
[G1 Android Development] Zarboz:
:mad: no bueno tried to push the rosie.apk from jacs build over to try to resolve and bootloop :mad::mad:
[G1 Android Development] samethsom:
i don't have adb on my computer....:(

Can you fix and reupload please? as you know i'm really persistant...and i have all night, LOL!!
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
It shouldn't be a problem with rosie.apk

Try redownloading the file and remember to wipe data before flashing!

Do you have cyanogen's 1.3 recovery image (needed!)
[G1 Android Development] samethsom:
can i push the attached file through recovery console??
[G1 Android Development] Zarboz:
yah i did wipe wipe format and wipe again..... yah i have cyanogens recovery image did that a while ago somewhere in early JAC

redl'd flashed again.. to no avail black blank screen instead of touchflo ui
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
try downloading this file, putting it on your sdcard, and installing it from there.

This is a shot in the dark, may work though. In the meantime, install ADB!!!!!!!!!!!

http://demarcatedmedia.com/rom/Superuser.apk
[G1 Android Development] samethsom:
can't i go into recovery, and press alt x to get that black screen and do it from there?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
I don't know, but if you could this is how you would do it:

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

rm /system/bin/su

busybox cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su

reboot
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Which link are you using?
[G1 Android Development] Zarboz:
http://demarcatedmedia.com/rom/jacHEROskiv1.2C.zip
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
I'm going to try it.

Before I do this. Make sure you have formated your sdcard in this order:

FAT32

EXT3

linux-swap

have Haykuro's NewSPL and new radoi etc...
[G1 Android Development] stelephonic:
speed again

i gotta admit: i didn't wipe. (comming from drizzlers early prev)

used backup for root from android market to get my settings back.

worked out fine...

swapp 32/60

it is fast. not compared to cyas cupcake but very close...compared to my earlier tests on twisted and later drizzys early preview.

i ve put away twitter, music and bookmark app though. and changed swappiness from 10 to 20 to 60.

one thing i found out:eek::

pressing home button is usually much faster than pressing back button to get to home screen. difference being

- pressing home: 2 secs

- pressing back: 30 secs

somebody could have told me :p
[G1 Android Development] Zarboz:
ok i got 1.3 working but still no swap put on my Linux swap partition ..... every time i check in terminal it reads 0's across the board i have my sd card as you said so i duno
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
awesome! A couple pages ago there is a quick fix.

try

In terminal # sh /system/bin/a2sd.sh
[G1 Android Development] samethsom:
This update is f**kin FAST AS HeLL!!!!

Youve really outdid yourself ski, i have no lag whatsoever....you can actually compare this to the cupcake builds.

And on another note, i didnt have to push the new SU through, i never lost root once i updated. I am staying with this build, not flashing any other rom, untill you can find a way to fix led, bt

THANK YOU!!!!
[G1 Android Development] beatle7777777:
wow this is perfect! thanks for all your hard work
[G1 Android Development] ibila:
Great rom. Faster than the others for shure.

The only thing i ran into is my low internal memory.

The settings screen tells me i have only 27mb left.

Guess the ap2sd isnt working for me :o
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Which version did you download?
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Lol I'm so tempted to flash this :D But I have a class 2 card haha :(
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
I can make a "slow" version.
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
you know i'm using the stock g1 sdcard and i haven't noticed a huge lag problem with the hero roms. so don't be scared if you have a slower card. give it a try and see what happens... Good work on the rom i'm gonna flash it right now.. on my stock sdcard.. weeee:cool:
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
@ ccyrowski is the linux swap partition absolutely necessary to flash this rom? Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Not absolutely necessary. Though I took out the swapper app, you'll have to download it from the Market and use per usual.

a linux-swap partition is much better than the app, as the kernel can directly manage it!
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
So the app is not necessary and I can just create the partition?

How big does the partition have to be and what type of partition should it be? Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] mrjay:
i have a class 4 8GB card. it's this ok for the usual version or should i go for the slow sd one?
[G1 Android Development] nasell:
I've noticed the same thing... Every reflash, I make sure to format and repartition with a fat32/ext2(3)/Linux-Swap, and although the rom works great, I notice it probably could be a little snappier, and checking su/free, I'm showing 0's on the swap also...

Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
can i use the swwapper app and linux swap together?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
linux-swap 32MB.

There is a quick fix earlier in this thread, let me check it out.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
"Originally Posted by ccyrowski

Are you sure you have three partitions on your sdcard in this order:

FAT32

EXT2 or EXT3

linux-swap (NOT linux-swap2)?

Yeah. I just tried the script over at your 'auto swap extention' thread and it worked.

Had to do

'mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk0p3'

first though.

"

page 7 of this thread.
[G1 Android Development] mrjay:
this is the best rom for me so far with only one issue. i can't sync with exchange. i have a certificate error. i press accept (the certificate coming from a non trusted source) and i get that over and over. not sure what's the problem
[G1 Android Development] ibila:
i used the 1.2c version.

i use a class6 8gb.

6200mb fat32

772 mb ext3

128mb linux-swap (way to big..i know)

only 21 mb left on sysmem now.

If i take a look at the memcard on my laptop it does show some apps i downloaded on the ext3 partition, but not the prenstalled programs from your rom.

p.s While in homescreen opening my hardware keyboard my screen goes black. after 30 seconds or so i get the loading logon and another 30 something seconds i get my landscape. Thats when im lucky, sometimes it just stays black or it ends up bag in portrait is this a bug or normal?

Im not so shure ill keep this rom, still some major issues for me. System is getting slower by the hour.

Think there will be any good progression for hero roms when the official hero rom will be out?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Is your linux-swap active? Also, 1.2C is not apps2sd, you have to download the apps2sd version.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
ahaha and yes, NO HERO ROM GOES INTO LANDSCAPE MODE ON HOMESCREEN IT WILL FREEZE YOUR PHONE
[G1 Android Development] chrisonline1991:
Yes i did use the a2sd version but i'm not sure what class my sd card is, i didn't even think of that, is there an easy way to tell? I bought the card a long time ago and can't remember off the top of my head.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Should have a number inside of a circle on your sd card.
[G1 Android Development] ibila:
hehehe... sorry about the noob questions than. ill go flash one with the apps2sd in it.
[G1 Android Development] chrisonline1991:
I have seen those on other cards but mine does not have it.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
When in doubt, try it out!
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Wow...fastest build yet :) nice job, you should team up with Drizzy and JAC :D
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Haha we'll see.

Lucid was kind enough to do a slight mod to his script for me. If you are on jacHEROskiv1.3 you have lucid in /system/bin

in terminal

su

lucid

and you'll get a bunch of options.

This will be very helpful for my next release as I'm be optimizing the app2sd method. That is, one and the same build for people with slow sd's and for people with fast sd's. I'm putting the power in your hands!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] chrisonline1991:
Haha, i will update to the newest and see if it works.

I've also noticed that when i get txt msgs they aren't always in order, sometimes my txts will just get stacked on theirs. Also i'm getting a lot of txts that don't get delivered and it doesn't even notify me that they didn't.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Cool do you recommend any options to run? Or are they just there for later purposes?
[G1 Android Development] neo21:
does wifi tether work with this one?
[G1 Android Development] rumsey:
Not be a ****, but can't you guys answer one question about Flash? You'd think it'd be one of the primary incentives to upgrade and no one seems to have tried it / cares about it...
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Try it yourself. It's Flash 9 in all hero builds.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Hm...how come my location in maps doesnt work? :confused: I've tried with wireless networks and with GPS lol
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
I may have forgot to bring over the missing files from when I fixed it in v1.2.1 let me check.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Thanks ^^. Just a quick note though, my location hasn't worked for me in JACHero either. i reside in the U.S. if that matters at all :)
[G1 Android Development] neo21:
...hmmm...stuck in the boot loop :(
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
I just had it working, try downloading google maps from the market. Make sure you do it over an edge/gprs/3g connection though (to accept market TOS)
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
k thanks for the quick responses ccyrowski! You rock :D
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Wipe? Reformat ext partition? :)
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
poor soul.

I can't remember the last time I got stuck in a bootloop that wasn't the direct result of me making changes to the boot.img or a2sd method that was a long shot at best.

If i'm flashing a stable rom is always works. What partition editor are you using and do you reformat and wipe always?:)
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Dang, my location still doesn't work. Ah I'll find a fix eventually
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Mines working now, try going outside.

Make sure you have GPS selected, join latitude, and that you downloaded the google maps from the market.
[G1 Android Development] Zarboz:
i could never get the swapper to work with the lunux swap partition otherwise im sure this rom wouldve been great....buut oh well
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
there is no "swapper"

You don't have to download an app. It should work automatically on boot. Make sure you sdcard has three partitions.

You could, however, download swapper app from the market and put location as /system/sd/swapfile.swf
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Hm, will it work using wireless networks?
[G1 Android Development] neo21:
used gparted (ubuntu 9.04) and wiped prior install...will try to get that running hmmm ;)
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
That's what I use.

Steps:

FAT32

EXT3

linux-swap.

update.zip on sdcard

recovery mode

wipe

flash.

Get arrested for flashing!
[G1 Android Development] samethsom:
I notice for the camera, portrait mode is inverted, but once you open up the g1 it's fine.....:confused: ohwell, don't even use the camera anyways.

but like i said earlier ski, really great build....heading out to go buy a 16gig card. so i can be fast like a superhero!!!!
[G1 Android Development] Zarboz:
I know its autoswap on boot

mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

i dont think its creating a swap because when i type free in terminal i still read zeros the whole way accross im not reading any swap set but when i use swapper.apk itll read a swap with the "free" command

soo i just wanna use my linux swap partition for the swap and be able to read it in the terminal
[G1 Android Development] weezerisock:
*sob* this doesn't work for me, it keeps telling me:

"rm failed for /system/bin/su, Read-only file system"

Other than super-user and the fact that on this build i cannot change my homescreen this is pretty much perfect! Great job, but can I put down a vote for a slow_sd version? Mines a class 2 card. (although this is dadgum snappy even on that :D )

Oh one other thing. from adb I checked my swap, and it doesn't appear to be using it. 0's all the way across. I setup my partition Fat 32 first then ext3 then linux-swap. Does it have to be a very specific size? Mines like 80MB right now but I figured I'd just give it room.

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
I keep mine at 32MB and it always works.

You have to do:

adb remount before the other commands,

also reinstall superuser.apk
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
so the swapper app can run along with linux-swap ?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
I wouldn't try it.

The best part about the linux-swap partition - and the reason mine is faster and more reliable - is because Cyanogen's kernel helps manage it directly.
[G1 Android Development] KNK:
I did this and I am getting a boot loop. HER then to HTC rinse and repeat.

Any clue why this could be happening?
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
thanks for the response..im gettin my sd ready to flash now...jac2.4 seems too laggy for me and ive heard nothing but great news from this build
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Do you have the newest SPL and radio?

Do you have cyanogen's new recovery image?

Does God love you?
[G1 Android Development] oneandroid:
Same here. Boot loop...
[G1 Android Development] weezerisock:
Perfect. I have superuser now :) Thank you. I didn't realize about the remount command.

Any suggestions for verifying my swap is in use or getting it in use if its not?

And if anyone has a suggestion for the home background I'm all ears. I've tried doing it from the home screen *wallpaper* and from *settings-->personalize-->home wallpaper* both come back with jacheroski wallpaper. :( the lock screen changes the wallpaper fine.

Thanks again!
[G1 Android Development] KNK:
Just updated my signature cause I knew you were going to ask that :P

Yes latest SPL and Rom I ran 1.2C just fine but 1.3C isn't working :(

I am using Cyanogen's 1.3.1 Recovery. Does god love me ... I am going to give him a call and see what he says I will let you know later.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
boot into fastboot mode (camera + power) and tell me what it says.
