8gb vs. 4gb

I've tried this (v2.7) and v2.5 with both a 4gig and an 8gig SD and I find that it runs a whole lot smoother with the 4 gig. Why...?
[G1 Android Development] netjunkiiee:
Can someone please re-upload JACHero2.7.1.zip... its still down for me =(
[G1 Android Development] :
Flashed ROM did all that good stuff with the formatting of sd rom runs smooth as hell!!! then checked to see how much system memory i have and it reads 77MB.. is this what it should say?

last rom it was in the 80+'s
[G1 Android Development] CPR123:
Get it from here http://www.justanotherdev.slackdev.com/
[G1 Android Development] netjunkiiee:
Your a life saver! thanks man.
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Yeah the OP's not perfect i found it never drops below 76 its from apps cache and browser cache i think
[G1 Android Development] xenoaurora:
Well i will admit the speed seems to be a little better although im not getting no load screens. Like from my messages if i hit the home button i will get the HTC screen for 15 seconds or so, but i usually have to hit the button a lot to even get it to work. Same thing coming out of email. And ive got a 32 mb swap and a class 6 8 gig card.

Ill try reformatting tonight my tech guy blocked adb and took admin access away on my pc...

All suggestions are welcome
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
This is a no loading screen build I mean ut does lag but it shouldn't have loading screen at all I'm running full rosie all widgets all seven screens and using browser to apps to messages and still no loading screens! At all.... its not a perfect build just yet but I know for sure there should be no loading screens at all.... what are your settings for all partitions?
[G1 Android Development] BlackElvis79:
Maps...

---BUMP---
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
Yes 77mb free is fine and the reason why it droped is because we added the full rosie back on and also added launcher with all wallpapers etc... so you should have roughly around 75+mb free
[G1 Android Development] xenoaurora:
ext3 is 800

swap is 38

fat32 is the rest. out of 8 gigs.

EDIT: I was also getting some Touchflo force closes .. after a wipe and a reinstall those seemed to have stopped.

EDIT AGAIN: ... neverminded they started again!
[G1 Android Development] BlackElvis79:
Internal Memory

I've had mine drop as low as 68 mb. Should it drop after each download?
[G1 Android Development] :
I asked this question before but got no reply so i figure i'll ask again..

When im in the browser and try to watch a youtube video all i get is the loading screen but the video will never play it'll stay "loading video" if i hit back it'll go to the webpage i was in and it''ll read video not found

then if i go to youtube app on phone and select the same video it'll play just fine within seconds

why is that?
[G1 Android Development] zgmf-x322a:
i completed formatted my sd (fat32, ext3 and linux-swap).....the response is not as good as 2.4 or 2.63 etc....
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
The open folder problem is back again its all stretched still usable but the folder bar at the top is all stretchered
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
Do you guys plan on switching to compcache?

Im running it on jacHEROski and its fantastic. If you guys have great speeds on this rom with swap, it should be nothing short of perfect with compcache.
[G1 Android Development] airiyon:
Does a 64mb Linuxswap partition work with the latest release, or a 32mb partition is best,
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
The clock with weather, has no weather....lol.

I just installed 2.7.1
[G1 Android Development] :
sounds good for me

i must confess i was getn pissed with hero 2.63 and went to cyno's rom but i missed hero like a muthaplucker soon as i saw this rom i flashed in a heartbeat - this rom is da I$H

Once you go HERO other roms dont come near...bro:D
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
Street view has not been removed just the option for it has but it still there all you have to do is longpress the street you want to view and then some options will come up and it will give you the option street view "though I do not like new google maps they made it a lil more complicating" well I hope this helps!
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Its the flash player for some reason it does not like to play in the browser where as the youtube app plays the video
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
hey i wanna know why the main post says its clocked at 384 but meanwhile its really at 527?? what gives ?
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
Lmao very funny! Nice saying.... thanks bro!
[G1 Android Development] BlackElvis79:
I got rid of my ext3 partition, and made 3420 Fat32, 512 ext2, and 32 Linux-swap.
[G1 Android Development] BlackElvis79:
Remove the one thats there, then just go to widgets, and pick clock, add city, and the weather will be there
[G1 Android Development] :
thanks PATNUH! lol i figured that was the deal but wanted an answer from a SENIOR MEMBER:D
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Nope

Doesn't work
[G1 Android Development] zgmf-x322a:
isnt ext3 better than ext2?!
[G1 Android Development] Randel77:
has anyone had touch input issues with 2.7? My screen gets kinda stuck between two home screens. I tried calibrating the keyboard and couldn't get past the first letter. I have replaced a cracked lcd screen on this phone but I had no issues on the past 4 builds.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
yes so but gparted doesnt support creation of ext3 so you have to drop to console and run upgrade_fs to upgrade to ext3
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
Yea I'm also testing the compcache I want to see how it responds after a while of use! But it is a nice feature and there is a high possibility of using it for next release! I must say there is a very impressive speed increase! I like it responding well... for sure running that thruu jac to see if he wants to add!
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Well your weather may be corrupted does the weather widget work cause if not then its corrupted which means you need to push another one
[G1 Android Development] BlackElvis79:
I've had nothin but goodness so far. About 12 hours of good hard use. (i work nights):D
[G1 Android Development] theway2live:
i dnt need apps2sd to run this rom?

is it still fast?
[G1 Android Development] BlackElvis79:
Kernel

How do you build a kernel? Can someone put it in the wiki?
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
What i have made bold maybe the problem why is fat32 starting at 512 it should be starting at zero you need to follow this EXACTLY i had the same problem before because i mistyped something and got stuck at the G1 screen

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

#print (to verify we have the 3 partitions)
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
Bloody awesome, does the current kernel support it, or do you have a custom kernel loaded?
[G1 Android Development] chordmasta:
Force closes every time I add the twitter widget (TouchFLO) or try to login to the Social Networks in settings (Settings). Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] Constrabus:
gparted does support ext3.

it even suports ext4

..or anything other file system you have the libs compiled for.
[G1 Android Development] BlackElvis79:
even though i believe it's supported, IMO it seems to run better without it.
[G1 Android Development] matthewngsm:
Clock

Does anybody get FC from using Alarm clock, Timer, and stopwatch? It opens normally at the initial screen where it shows the World Clock, but wouldn't work when I slide across the the other ones. :confused:
[G1 Android Development] xenoaurora:
It appears that Touchflo closing is caused by like an autorotate or something in landscape. Cause as long as mine is portraits its fine.. but i usually leave it on landscape keyboard out so it rests nicely against my speakers so i can see it. And it just keeps force closing over and over.
[G1 Android Development] Constrabus:
Is anyone having an issue where:

Text massages show in the notification bar, but not in the messaging app?
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
Not easy to learn but once learned it is as easy as tieing your shoes... someone hopefully has the time to make a wiki of it! But there is so many different kernel's so many edits, config's for each and every kernel so building a wiki would only rely on one kernel...
[G1 Android Development] theway2live:
can the rom run fast without APPS2SD??
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Can anyone send me the weather widgets from these builds?
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
Touchflo for android is not supported in landscape for some strage reason! Though it does have all landscape images! Hmmmm....I haven't really looked into that!
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
NO without appstosd its extremely slow due to lack of space appstosd is automatic if you have and ext2/3 partition and if your going to create that you should do a linux-swap partition to its in the OP all you need is cm 1.3.1 recovery image and its easy to do
[G1 Android Development] BlackElvis79:
I hear you. So, not a step by step, more like just the jist of it. Most common pieces and what not. The basic neccessities. I tried to break one down, but I couldn't make heads or tails of what I was lookin at.
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:

[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
That is from the WWE builds? If it even matters?
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
I haven't tested daproys kernel maybe editing some configs will make it possible to run with daproys.... I do like cyanogen kernel a lot better...still no multi touch but hey that's fine for now! But compcache is working really nice cyno's kernel some configs turned off but maybe will work with unedited cynos kernel!
[G1 Android Development] prasansk:
I did the partitions again making sure that I start the fat32 partiton at 0 but the print output still shows it at beginning at 512B.

Here is the command I used

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7384

print still shows..

Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 8166MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 512B 7384MB 7384MB primary fat32 lba
2 7384MB 8134MB 750MB primary ext3
3 8134MB 8166MB 32.3MB primary linux-swap

What am I doing wrong?:confused:
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
I was just messing with my phone one day opening and closing it and somehow IDK what i did but touchflo was actually in landscape mode probably a bug from me messing with it but it did rotate
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
Exactly....maybe ill right a wiki on cyno's and daproys kernel but not yet whenever I have super free time lol!
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Okay START from the begining of that it has to compleatly wipe your sd so back everything up okay
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
Fantastic, for now ill stick with HEROski. The two things i wish i could fix are the camera auto rotate crap and the no rotate on the homescreen.

I know the early Hero builds didn't cause the homescreen to FC, it just stayed in portrait mode. Really weird.
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
I messed with it aso but I haven't really edit the xmls to get it running in landscape! Ill try it soon when I get some time!
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
Camera is an easy fix not as hard as landscape homescreen...but we will see how far we can take hero!
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
I figured out that my weather widget wasn't working because I was chosing "current city". Any reason why GPS doesn't work with the weather? What would I need for it to work?
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
i dont understand why youre stressing about less than 1kb of space on your fat partition.
[G1 Android Development] BlackElvis79:
@DDR

I'll keep an eye out for it
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
Ill keep everyone posted on my twitter but no time soon!
[G1 Android Development] BlackElvis79:
It's stuck on G1 splash.

prasansk

I had 31kb i think, in front of my Fat32...and it looped at the hero animation. I did:

rm 1

rm 2

rm 3

and started over. That took care of it.
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
yeah but the less than 1k shouldnt cause to be stuck on g1 splash, mine now has the same setup basically except on 1gb card, 512b - 500mb fat32, 501mb-800mb ext3, 801-1000 linux-swap

yeah i'd partition delete all and try again though, but its not the < 1k causing it :)
[G1 Android Development] BlackElvis79:
Does tethering affect your internal memory?
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
Well thats good to know.

Are the apk edits primarily in the apk, or are you guys editing the dex files?
[G1 Android Development] hell4hot:
you can fix the camera problem by ripping of camera.apk from dude's cupcake 1.3rc2 it has zoom and all hero goddies but no auto rotate and you will be able to take pic from camera key......
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
Even if there was a wiki, you would need to understand the programming language itself.

BTW: great build, no issues found yet. (2.7 Full)

@ Drizzy, how'd you get the compcache module to work on this build? (it doesnt seem to be built into this version of JAC)
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
Question is does it work with the Hero Album.
[G1 Android Development] hell4hot:
yes, i have tested it , it does
[G1 Android Development] J-A-J-O:
2.71 slowsd

I can't download 2.71 slowsd version...
[G1 Android Development] valefore:
uhh... links for lite and slow are down on 2.7.1 or removed on purpose??? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] imbonez9:
Trying to download the LITE and wont let me :(
[G1 Android Development] valefore:
yeah, i tried too and it didn't let me either.... then on the link site they're not even listed... weird...
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
The links down it was probably removed for a good reason its NBD
[G1 Android Development] xREVOx:
andonnguyen = spanking nguyen?

did you want to test compcache out since you're interested?

unzip files to your /sdcard/ then from terminal

su

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

mkdir /system/sd/modules

cp /system/bin/a2sd /system/sd/modules/a2sd.bak

cp /sdcard/ramzswap.ko /system/sd/modules/ramzswap.ko

cp /sdcard/xvmalloc.ko /system/sd/modules/xvmalloc.ko

cp /sdcard/a2sd.txt /system/bin/a2sd

then reboot

if it doesn't work you can go back to the linux swap in terminal by

su

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

cp /system/sd/modules/a2sd.bak /system/bin/a2sd

reboot
[G1 Android Development] prasansk:
Ok, following are the commands I issued under parted:

rm 1
rm 2
rm 3

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7384
mkpartfs primary ext2 7384 8134
mkpartfs primary linux-swap 8134 8166

print
Model: Unknown (unknown)
Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 8166MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 512B 7384MB 7384MB primary fat32 lba
2 7384MB 8134MB 750MB primary ext2
3 8134MB 8166MB 32.3MB primary linux-swap

But the fat32 partition still starts at 512B.

After this I did upgrade_fs,

mounted sdcard, pushed the update.zip (jachero2.7.zip)

unmounted sdcard, reboot recovery, repaired ext filesystem, wiped and the applied the update.zip.

Still stuck at the G1 splash screen, logcat stops at the same point.

may be it has to do with something else, but what??

I am lost :(
[G1 Android Development] BlackElvis79:
the a2sd is usually to ext2, so I really didn't see a need for ext3
[G1 Android Development] valefore:
uhh... i'm a noob i don't know what NBD means.. lol

i just search and follow tutorials. lol
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
NBD means no big deal i was just sayin the link was probably removed for a good reason thats all
[G1 Android Development] zapyourit:
Hey guys, just to let you know, the link is just pointing to a nonexistent file. The naming convention for 2.7.1 is different (mostly due to capitalization of JACHero not being used).

JAC: on the first page, you just need to change the link so it points to "jachero2.7.1" instead of "JACHero2.7.1" and then everything will be ok there.

Everyone else: if you really want to grab 2.7.1 right away, just head to the apache server at http://www.justanotherdev.slackdev.com/ and scroll down towards the bottom. Its the second to last file.

Happy flashing :)
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
when i did the removing of partitions, i had to actually do rm then hit enter then put partition number, also how are you mounting sd/pushing update.zip
[G1 Android Development] BlackElvis79:
Did you quit, then reboot recovery before the #upgrade_fs? What happens if you install w/o repairing ext filesystem? Do you use an SD card reader? Instead of pushing the update, try dragging it from your desktop to your mounted sd. Also, check your sd, because it may still have swap data on it. All the data was still on mine after partitioning, and swapfile had to be deleted by mounting it to my comp and moving it to recycle
[G1 Android Development] prasansk:
I did it without hitting enter after rm (i will try your way too).

I am mounting the sd through adb:

adb shell mount /sdcard

adb push update.zip /sdcard
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
This is whats supposed to happen when you slide out the keyboard. But its not when you do it at the homescreen.

When done on the homescreen the very first line where its Setting rotation, it doesn't occur, it starts a reset of the launcher. Seems that the apk doesn't have the orientation flag set, or is set incorrectly somehow.

Strangely when the same thing is done in the weather app, when choosing a city, it doesn't rotate, but it doesn't FC either.
[G1 Android Development] chicojd:
Nice speed and all... but Messaging app broken... FC everytime. Any help!?
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
theres your problem:

adb shell mount /sdcard

adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip
[G1 Android Development] prasansk:
I did quit after parted and then reboot recovery before doing upgrade_fs.

I will try updating without the repair, I do not have access to SD card reader at work. I will try doing it with SD Card at home.

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] tmac12:
Trying to decide if I should flash to 2.7.1 is gps broken in regular 2.7?
[G1 Android Development] BlackElvis79:
You may need to update /etc/fstab.

According to this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534714

Having 512b is normal.

EDITAlso... For adb push try

adb push /update-path/update.zip /sdcard
[G1 Android Development] maruutah:
Flashing now...super excited, been watching the changes since 2.5 (which I loved..but issues with missing texts and such...went back to cyanogen)

I'll post results ^-^
[G1 Android Development] xenoaurora:
i dont know i can push just fine without using the last /update.zip

adb push update.zip /sdcard

Just make sure to mount first and ive never had a problem it pushes right to the root of my sd card. Also the guide linked off the first page uses the way above im pretty sure!
[G1 Android Development] vlcchan:
i just flash to v2.7.

everything works fine except when i flip the keyboard out, it won't rotate if i am at the home page. it actually response to the flipout but after the screen reload it remain the same.

i just want to know if is it the problem for Rosie UI?

the keyboard flipout screen rotate on applications works fine. it just doesn't work on home page. it's not about the auto orientation switch when you rotate the phone.
[G1 Android Development] valefore:
actually, it wasn't there... the superlite version still isn't there... slow is up now though. ^_^

thanx though, i was gonna wait till tonight and recheck.
[G1 Android Development] xenoaurora:
Hey Drizz.. i was updating my weather widget to Cincinnati instead of whatever defualt was. accidently clicked at the bottom instead of the bottom so it loaded the accuweather webpage. I clicked back and got no responce, so i clicked home... got the HTC background (I think thats the loading page) for about 15 seconds then finally went to home.

I adb pushed mms.apk from JacHero 2.5 and its working perfect for me now:)
[G1 Android Development] BlackElvis79:
Why would you need GPS? Just enter your current city.
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
To all with messages FC just push mms.apk from 2.6.3 or so for it to work.

I had the same issue.
[G1 Android Development] Cammarratta:
Did you get it to work without having to push an older version?

Because I don't know how to push the mms.apk file. :p
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
I would still try it by adding /update.zip after /sdcard, ive always done it this way and had issues before with not doing it.
[G1 Android Development] jawash22:
The only loading screen I get is when I hit the home button while in the Browser, but it is not long. I suppose I should be using the Slow SD Rom with a class 4 SD card? Everything else is awesome though!
