[G1 Android Development] Rukus911:
I have been running a few diff rom's and all has been fine. I recently decided to try a new rom on my other G1. I have done all of the steps that I did for my other G1, and more, how ever, when attempting to install the latest Hero rom, I get this msg:

E: cant symlink /sdcard/xbin/[

E: failure at line 58: symlink /sbin/busybox SYSTEM: xbin/[

Installation aborted...

What am I missing? Do I need to move app_s to ext3 partition or what? I dont know whaere to go from here. Rogers roms, and others install fine, however, even with the new Cyanogen recovery utility, I still get this msg. Plz enlighten me. Thanks, Rukus911 :confused:
[G1 Android Development] LvDisturbed1:
Ok...this is my first Hero build, and I'm stuck on the bootscreen. I reformated the ext3 partition on my sdcard, I flashed the radio and spl, I wiped before flashing this rom...what could I have done wrong??
[G1 Android Development] stopjockingme@gmail.com:
how do you push launcher through adb exactly? once i download the file, where do i save it to?
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
haha seriously man vista sucks ass.. just did the partitions and swap file now and flashed hehe now rebooting :D:D:D:D:D:D

and im on a Stock g1 sdcard too lol

So those commands will mount the sdcard to the comp and i can drag files to the sdcard like regular?
[G1 Android Development] sullitf:
I am using a 128mb swap partition with no ill effects after a night of heavy use, however I will keep an eye on it tomorrow and report back. All processes that are swapped show up in advanced task manager, so you should be able to easily clean out swap.

If nothing else, I have no problem with revolting my phone each morning. I'm so used to this from Windows mobile that it just seems like a usual requirement. :D
[G1 Android Development] KennySmoothx:
Yeah m8, well thanks for the heads up, Hopefully I'll get ADB working again but on vista ;)
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
if i dragged everything back on my SDCARD then reflashed this rom would my apps and everything reload? i Backed up my sdcard to my desktop
[G1 Android Development] djdeviance:
No it wouldn't. You would need to dl the app installer script. That thing works freaking wonders.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
oh.. THATS why lol.. mk im reinstalling that damn appsinstaller as we speak :)

Also Thank you to everyone who helped me today i really really appreciated especially with making those partitions thank you so much guys.
[G1 Android Development] Adidas Reborn:
Ok Do What I Did! Now I Have No Lag At All!!!

First thing you need to do is download this right here. Only if you have a(n) sdcard reader.

http://4megaupload.com/download_file.php?qq=paragon partition&file=2651445&desc=Paragon.Partition.Manager.Pro.v9..rar

Install that. Before running that slip in your sdcard/reader.

I have a 2g sdcard this is what im running.

900ish is fat32

500ish is ext3

400ish is swap/linux

ok run the file i said to download. at the main screen bottom right click partin..man...9.0

1.delete partition ... your sd not your hdd make sure you click on your sdcard

2.top middle apply setting *green check mark*

3.new part.. click the whole thing as fat32 *apply settings*

4.new part.. click and make about half of it ext3 *apply settings* follow your computer and let it shut down.

5.open up the file again.

6.new part.. click and make about half the ext3 to linux swap(apply settings) *follow your computer and let it shut down. again..

7.this is a key part it will say some kind of iflo or something like that if it says that then your going right just click ok and let it finish.

8.open up the file again.

9.your ext3 will be gone just click on the space where it used to be and click format part.. put it back as ext3 *apply settings*

now your done download your jachero2.63 wipe and flash then it should work!

[G1 Android Development] kingskidd268:
The update is fresh. and the linux swap wow....
[G1 Android Development] Lou2serious:
Just wanted to report that auto-rotate doesn't work while in messaging app, also I was browsing on my g1 and had someone text me but I received it after I closed the Browser.

This is a big leap forward guys, great work Jac, Drizzy, and db!!
[G1 Android Development] igloo77055:
Wow!

This has been the best update,

I'm running 2.63 SlowSD and it runs faster than anything, and stays that way

I haven't even started to remove apks or widgets

Its great, thanks!

[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
How do we know if the linux swap is running? is it auto? i just got a lag screen.. first one from deleting locations from weather.. :[ i made all three partitions today. but besides that this rom is amazing goodness gracious good job guys :D
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:

Can't wait to get my class 6 card and flash the latest version. My stupid 4GB c6 card doesn't mount reliably in my phone :-S

Anyone found a fix for market TOS? I don't have a data plan..

Btw
[G1 Android Development] lolo2007:
Hi I have a 4 gb class 4 sd and the phone stucks on the hero splash screen not even on the HTC splash screen any ideas

(I have 4 parts on my sd fat32 ext 2 ext 3 and linux swap2 made with paragon partiton manager)
[G1 Android Development] free-sidux:
maybe you have to have 3 partitions, fat32, ext2/3 and swap, in that order. it may be hardcoded in the build, but I'm not sure about it.
[G1 Android Development] free-sidux:
terminal:

su

free
[G1 Android Development] lolo2007:
I tried to change the partitions doesn't change anything other ideas ?
[G1 Android Development] djhollygrove:
i dont understand why people are having problems with these roms... I only have my SD card split in half and the rom is workin perfectly!!!!
[G1 Android Development] melder2011:
mostly because 99% of the questions being asked have been answered a thousand times but people for some reason just absolutely refuse to search. or what i've noticed is that a lot of people are SO scared of bricking their device (although they probably couldn't even if they wanted to) that any time something isn't expected happens they freak out instead of taking 10 seconds to analyze whats going on and try to find the problem.

to all the self-proclaimed "noobs" out there, such as myself. be a little adventurous! the g1 is an almost unbrickable piece of equipment, and instead of just freaking out and asking, really try and try again using almost anything you know and understand to fix it. and if you just absolutely can't (which you almost always will) then RESEARCH. i'm not going to just say search, but really read everything and understand what is going on. find the original post showing how to use what you are trying to do, and read, read, read! if you STILL have questions and errors that you cannot find ANYTHING about, then feel free to ask. i've only seen maybe 20 questions that have only been asked once and have confused even jac,drizzy,and db and they have included fixes for those in updates. i know from my own experience that you can go from an absolute noob to a somewhat capable user (which is all people expect out of you) in a matter of weeks, WITHOUT ASKING A SINGLE QUESTION.

tl;dr: just follow directions to the T, and if they don't work, fix it yourself using everything you know.

sorry for the rant. but hey, if even 1 person tries to fix their own problems because of this post, i'll be happy. and we may see 10 less "hw do i partion or w/e mie sd kard lol i kant figur it outttt. plz hlp dis l00kz ttly awsum." type questions.
[G1 Android Development] markuman:
hm very well the new build, but if i working long time with steel for example and closing him...it takes a long time to reload the homesceen :-/
[G1 Android Development] Boi-1-Da:
Hi you all, my friend has recommended me to this site and by browsing its wonderful!

he showed me his hero rom on the g1 and boy i gotta tell you guys are the best! I never thought the g1 would've been capable of many amazing things!

but so far so good! i love it!

looking forward to newer builds!
[G1 Android Development] mumbo_jumbo:
same here i used stock 1 gig to test every new hero i used paragon partition manager and never run in any problem thing went smoothly every time
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
wonder if we'll have any updates today

we can call it Update Sundays ;)

great job JAC / Drizzy and other contributors that i know worked on this project.

2.63 owns!!
[G1 Android Development] smnnekho:
i dunno why it's always me with the same problems over and over... makes no sense to me.

everytime after the initial setup htcsettingswizard crashes on me.

then i see my topbar and everything - but no rosie and nor default launcher. no matter how long i#ll wait. if i dare to shut down and reboot i get a bootloop everytime.

i had no rosie with all the last builds, always just the default launcher and i had to push the rosie.apk over myself. but this time i dont even have the default launcher and ADB won't let me install or push the launcher and / or rosie.

i tried the whole day without success. if i completly redo my SD-card and wipe - there is NOTHING left on the phone, is there?

i don't get it.

mmh: when i have no EXT2/3 partition it runs fine (!!!) just no apps2sd of course.

could it be that my card is corrupted? i can format it fine though, and it runs in windows too.....
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Dwang. Thanks for introducing me to a swap partition.

I noticed a huge diff in speed between between 32/10 and 128/60 on an earlier buid.

I haven't experimented on this one.

I did notice slight lag last night that went away with a reboot.

How can I use Cron from busybox to autoreboot?
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
is ur linux-swap really set to 128/60?...if so hows that running i want to increase my linux swap and swappiness but dont want to lose any speed
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
Google is your friend.

I'm not running w a swapfile anymore so I have no plans to set up a cronjob. There's plenty of instructions on the web if u just search.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Yes. It really is. I set swappiness to 60 in a2sd.sh.

However, my usage never seems to go over about 70 megs, so 64 meg partition would probably behave similarly.
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
whew.. good. i set my linux swap partition to 64 mb... had to whip out the good ole calculator..
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
thanks...gonna repartition and flash...did u have to resign the update or u just pushed the a2sd.sh file over?
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Ok thanks. I will look for info on google.

How is no swapfile working for you? Are uou still running Hero with no Rosie?
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
I flashed, adb pulled swap file to c drive, edited swappiness, adp pushed edited file, then rebooted.
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
No I'm back to cyan 3.6.5.

I've played around w lots of swap sizes and swappiness values and while they all are fast at the beginning they all seems to cause lag and slowdown after a day so I ditched it and I like it better.
[G1 Android Development] bradwombo:
I have been investigating this as well.

JAChero is no go for me at all.

When I installed Superhero ROM it worked fine until I restarted after enabling Apps2SD.

So I think that is the key to the prob
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Try wiping, reformat ext partition,and type alt_f at recovrry.

If it says unable to repair, then type alt_x and type the following at the command prompt:

e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Say yes to all prompts.

Type recovery, reflash.

And then report any problems.
[G1 Android Development] smnnekho:
Seems like its only happening to very few of us. This is the first build though that absolutely refuses to run. I also tried with another sd card without luck. So i wonder what could probably be wrong with my phone that this keeps happening over and over again.

Very weird. Besides - apps2sd works fine on other builds
[G1 Android Development] smnnekho:
I do all this every time i flash anyways. It does not help, trust me (-;
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Sorry to hear that. Following those steps seemed to help someone with a similar problem.

Try this. Download Gparted, and verify the following:

1. All partitions are primary.

2. No drive letters are associated.

3. Partitions are in correct order.

Fat32

Ext2/3

Linux_swap

4. Both fat 32 and ext partition have two numbers beside them and not dashed lines.

Sounds like this will not help, but worth a try.
[G1 Android Development] dbhatesyou:
tl;dr: indeed! lol. but for what im working on. welp should help out a lot.
[G1 Android Development] mitchhewitt18:
i agree everybody should do their own research and try to figure out their own problems so they can gain an understanding of what they are doing but there have been times where i have been really stuck on a simple problem and cannot really be bothered to read through a 100 + pages and a quick solution is possible just by asking. At the end of the day we are a community and the help you give someone could help someone else.

by the way thanks for all the amazing updates this build runs much smoother and i haven't run into any problems yet.

keep up the good work!
[G1 Android Development] bsegovia:
Worked perfectly.

Following your instructions exactly resulted in a successful install.

What I did.

Revert existing hero to cryanogen

Use this guide to break my sd into 3 partitions (fat32, ext2, linux-swap) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534714

flash new rom

reboot

Saw some folks say I should have used 64mb for swap instead of 32 as recommended. We'll see if that ends up biting me in the butt.
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
SOUND IS DISTORTED !!!!!!!

Anybody with that problem ? can someone test the music plz im listening to some 320kbps songs and its rly rly ugly .

I MEAN WITH SPEAKER !!!
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
OMG this ROM i s screaming! Excellent work gouys! Fastest build yet. No dowloading overclock or swapper! This is will fast. Thank you thank yiy
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
actually looks like the cron daemon doesn't work on android. It runs but then exits.
[G1 Android Development] :
Bit of a problem with the latest builds. I've wiped and flashed twice, but the 'Browser' application seems to be missing on every install. Anyone know why this is?
[G1 Android Development] jigdagod:
Not sure why everyone is having some many issues but Apps2SD works fine, this build is screaming fast. Not much lag at all. And no loading screens. Going to test when receiving calls and hanging up from a call because that's where most of my lag came from.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
I have spent the last few hours reading on how to do this and I have come to the same conclusion.

I receive unknown uid 0 error when trying to run busybox crontab -l.
[G1 Android Development] smnnekho:
better be glad it's the browser, which can be easy pushed over afterwards.

for me it's launcher.apk and rosie.apk everytime... i cant do anything.

its very weird though - that it's always the same .apks not working (like browser for you obviously)

i have not yet found a solution.

i already tried to flash without an EXT (and it runs fine) and to create the EXT2/3 on second boot, but that likes to stay on HTC screen then.

so far i have no chance to get the 2.63 running properly )-;

edit: and since it's running fine for almost everybody else they just think you're too stupid to do it properly (-; Trust me, i'm not that much of a noob - just desperate (;
[G1 Android Development] Franklees:
I am listening to lil jon and the east side boys on my speaker now and it sounds great.

I get "sh: parted :not found" when trying the first step of reformatting sd card using cyna's 1.3.1 recovery image. What am I missing?
[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
did you just edit the a2sd.sh script and pushed it????

i tried to do that but i got stuck in the t-mobile g1 screen after rebooting??
[G1 Android Development] smnnekho:
Install failed_dexopt

can anyone enlighten me:

i'm trying to adb install Launcher.apk and get INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT

i'm trying to adb install rosie.apk i'm getting INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION

what do they mean? (especcially the dexopt one?)

Album is force closing

Just installed 2.63, everything running fine with linux-swap ext2 and fat32 partitions, however, for some reason the album is force closing everytime. How to fix it? any ideas
[G1 Android Development] bradwombo:
I would also like to know, and can confirm that I am seeing the same thing.
[G1 Android Development] jawash22:
parted help

When I type in "parted /dev/block/mmcblock0" I get sh: parted: not found. Any ideas? I have the new recovery from Cyna(1.3.1) and no luck.:confused:
[G1 Android Development] smnnekho:
i figured there's something wrong with apps2sd. i checked through adb and /system/sd/ is all empty )-;

it cant be my sdcard since it works fine on other builds.
[G1 Android Development] g1sean83:
does swapper require 3rd partition?

Apologies now if this is in wrong section...watched for awhile...first post-I have but 1 question. Why must you put a 3rd partition for swapper, so far I have just run swapper as normal and it doesn't fair me too well. Will the 3rd partition make any difference and if so what?

Thanks guys and again apologies if this is posted out of context.

Sean
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
only qualm I have so far is that the in call icon has switched back to the one from regular stock android (green box, white phone) as opposed to the one from rosie (green phone)

Just looks a bit off, other than that, build seems to run fine...

good work.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Yes. I adb pulled the current userinit.sh, changed swappiness to 60. Adb pushed it back to same location.

I can sometimes get into adb while it is boot looping. Maybe you can repush the original file from the update.zip.
[G1 Android Development] sw20matt:
maybe im just slow but...

is there any word on if the sms timestamp, the led, and landscape homescreen are being worked on?

I keep seeing new ways of doing apps to sd and all that, wasnt sure if these issues are gonna be fixed soon.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
I have no idea what is going on with your phone.

To me it sounds like Jachero doesn't like your sdcard formatting for some reason.

Maybe you can run adb logcat and create a boot log file. Then someone who knows about these things may be able to help you.

Have you tried reformatting the whole sdcard and not just the ext2/3 partition? Doubt if that will help, but I try about anything when I'm in your shoes. LOL.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Did you run it from recovery? Alt_X
[G1 Android Development] jawash22:
Yes, I even flashed back to Cyna ROM and reflashed 1.3.1. It acts like my 1.3.1 doesn't have parted
[G1 Android Development] supremeteam256:
Very nice rom so far. Haven't had any issues yet. Speed is great.
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
You can't install rosie or launcher like a normal app. You need to

adb push rosie.apk /system/sd/app_s

you need to make sure to also push the odex files as well or you will get a force close.

Also you might want to reboot after you push the files.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
If you are just trying to get it to work, download the free Gparted live CD and do it that way. You can do it with the SDcard in phone. Just mount your phone to USB right before you go into the main GUI. It will unmount if you do it at the first oppurtunity.
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
sms timestamp I believe was fixed a couple builds ago. They are working on led but bluetooth is a much higher priority. Landscape homescreen is not supported at all by any hero roms (or the hero itself since it has no hard keyboard)
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
Running swapper as a separate partition is much faster and more stable, as that is the way linux should be run.

I have seen huge improvements in usability since I started using a swapper partition.
[G1 Android Development] jdubzisfaded:
2.63 works quite smooth with swapper on 128/60. But JAC you definately need to apply a fix for the camera. Very overlooked
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:
open the screen.
[G1 Android Development] smnnekho:
it's not only me by the way. i have pm's from various people asking me if i yet fixed it because they have the same problem.

besides, i read in this thread numerous times from people who have certain .apk missing or corrupted everytime (browser, gallery for example).

too bad it's launcher and rosie for me (-;

regarding your hints. i formatted with parted, gparted, paragon from windows with just formatting or even deleting and recreating the partitions without any luck. trust me, i tried everything.

this is all just not logic - no idea why it happens.

when formatted and wiped, is it possible that something stays for whatever reason on my phone? i dont think so. but thats the only explanation for the fact that its totally reproducable.

maybe i make a youtube video from the whole process (incl. formatting etc) so you see i'm not totally nuts.

i'll catch the log though, good idea - and thanks for your help in the first place

What am I doing wrong? What other information can I provide to troubleshoot?
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
Sounds like you have done your research.

I wonder if there is something in your system memory that does not get flashed over when you flash the new Jachero.

I know there was a certain version of Cyanogen where there were problems if you had not flashed another version first. Not sure if that was something left on the sdcard or in the system memory though.

I came from cyanogen to this build. Have you tried flashing Cyanogen build and coming back? It might be worth a try.
[G1 Android Development] wwwhershcom:
dont use swapper, just flash the 2.63.

it swap automatically.

did you repartition after you flashed.

if so, i believe you need to flash again.
