Okay... I really appreciate the help but..... *gulp* Here we go... :(

Is there a way to edit user.conf without using adb? Like terminal or entering console??? :confused:

I'm sorry I sound so noobish... :(
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
I rarely use ADB so...

I would download a copy of the user.conf (the name is user.zip which you'll unzip the HEROuser.conf file... I think miketaylor posted a link somewhere) to your computer. Then I'd make a copy of the file (for editing). Right click the file, choose edit and look for the command line I posted earlier (scaling_min_freq=128000). Change the 128000 to 384000.

Now, save the file, copy it to your SD Card. Open up the Terminal Emulator on your G1 and type this in:

EDIT: I attached the user.zip file
[G1 Android Development] triniscorpio:
so im getting the sd card unreadable error. any ideas on how to fix it without formatting the whole card(mainly the fat32 part) and yes i have rebooted and repaired ext.
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
if i want compcache with backing_swap i have to extacto userinit.sh from /system/bin/ and then edit it and push it back ?
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
No, just enable it in the user.conf. I posted some suggestions earlier in the thread.
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
Hey Mike...

I gotta idea (or experiment)... if I lower the up_threshold to 35, do you think it'll keep the CPU running quickly when a minimum amount widgets or apps are running?

I'm guessing that this command triggers an increase in CPU frequency when about 40% of the CPU is in use, so I figure I'll increase CPU speed when only 35% is used. I know this may drain the battery, but I keep a charger and a USB cord on me at all times. I plan on getting an after market battery for my G1 also.

ISSUE:

Opening keyboard when SCREEN is LOCKED results in

- ForceClose of TouchFLo

(and/or)

- Loadnig Screen

Is it a bug or i can set up somwhere to NOT allow Lockscreen to go into landscape ?!?!
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
You can try it. I haven't tested that particlur setting on Hero. When I tested it on cupcake it seemed to be choppier, it would jump up to the next CPU level before it really should have so it basically had a delay until it got all the way up to the max. My initial thought was to set it to 25, because I had the same idea that you had. But when I tested it out it turned out that my theory was wrong. But like I said, feel free to try it out. Maybe it will work better with your setup or maybe hero will react differently. Let me know either way.
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
You can edit directly on your phone.

User:

su

rwsystem

cp /system/bin/user.conf /sdcard/user.conf

This copies it to your SD Card.

Download "Text Edit" off the market, open the app then press menu and "open" then browse to your sd card and open the user.conf file. Make changes, save it.

then...

su

rwsystem

cp /sdcard/user.conf /system/bin/user.conf

Can i flash this rom on MT3g 32B board?

thank you
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
I'm not sure if I like 1.8.

I'm not finding this any faster, what-so-ever than 1.7r2 - and now location doesn't work, which is a pretty major feature.
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
That's even better.
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
Modaco 1.5.1 was the fastest for me, but I think this one is shiny.

I ran 1.5.1 for a week with no upgrade and it was blaze. I'm tweaking this ROM and I think this one is performing well when navigating through settings, apps, and contacts/phone. Receiving calls/messeges is snappy too.

In my broke opinion, I think this has a leg up right now in that aspect.
[G1 Android Development] chopsui:
I can deal with lagginess but what really gets me is that my phone far too often has to reload the home screen when going back to it. It's not like I'm even using a ton of apps. Usually it will happen when switching out of email or browser. My swap is set to 32MB with default swappiness. The only widget I have is the HTC flip clock.

Would increasing the swap size help this? Does anyone *really* know why this happens?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
You are probably filling up your swap. I'll give you 2 suggestions you figure out which one you want to try

1. Enable Compcache with backing swap and keep your current swap size (my recommendation)

2. Use a 64MB swap partition (I had better performance with 64 than I did with 32)
[G1 Android Development] nagash91:
I'm using 1.8, but multy touch won't work. (don't work in browser and don't work in albums)

Anyone have this problem?? :confused::confused:
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
so 64 or 96? i know 128 and beyond starts to slow down... but 96 adds some much needed RAM...
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
The other thing that I have noticed is that if you hit Home to get out of the browser or gmail it shows the home page much faster. When you use back to get out of it, it seems to try to get rid of the data you were using in the browser and it slows the phone down for a few seconds. I'm not sure how or why it works this way but the home button seems to work better.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I like 64. The larger you go the more you will slow down... eventually.
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
Yup, multi-touch is broken on this one too.

I appreciate the effort with 1.8, but unfortunately it's a real flop.
[G1 Android Development] Prod1702:
I am using 64mb swap and 80 swappiness on 1.8 and loving it. Feels really fast to me. I wasnt able to get 1.7r2 to run so i can not comapir it. Also have to point out that when i get texts the LED is working. It is't 100% bright but i can see it pretty good.
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
If you go to terminal and just type in "free"

You can see how your swap partition is working.

At 90 swappiness, I'm not sure if I've ever seen it go over 50mb of used swap. Theoretically, 64 mb should be perfectly fine. I have a 96mb swap partition though, better safe than sorry as it's not easy to add to it.
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
Yup, it's crispy...

I changed the up_threshold to 35 and set the minimum cpu frequency to 384000. My phone is running realy, really crispy right now. I'm going to run it like this for a day or two and see how it fares. ;)

I went to the Facebook app, downloaded some pictures, slid over to contacts, messed with some widgets, open the app drawer, clicked there and clicked here, and the phone was snappy on all the transitions. I had no problem going back to the home screen at all. But like I said... I'ma run this for a day or two.

I'm running at record speeds on both the Modaco and JACHeroSki on an 8GB class 2 card.
[G1 Android Development] diaztradeinc:
This is by far the best work you've done so far jac, big ups to you, cc, and cyan for this beautiful rom, by the way i clicked peep, and it went straight to the tweets with no load..........AMAZING!!!! I'm using 64mb partition on the swap by the way..:D
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
That's because the Hero doesn't have a keyboard therefore neither the lockscreen or home go in landscape mode. Not a bug.

What I did notice is that the text prediction in Messages is still not working...
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Wow...yeah, very appreciative words there. C'mon now :rolleyes:

WTF MY WEATHER IS GOING SCREWY

a few days ago on madaco my weather went cuckoo and it was H:80 somethin and L:-17 and the current degrees wud be the lowest number and then i flashed back and it now says H:81 L:47 and Current:47 plz help me
[G1 Android Development] te_quiero_forever_girl:
I have no idea what is going on right here ! I wiped, then flashed. All the buttons light up, I can even drag the screen down to unlock, but it still hangs at the HTC screen =.='. Please help me
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Is it safe to assume you have the partitions done and you have waited several minutes for it to boot up, or not?

Side note, I must be a glutton for punishment, even though the last time I pushed HTC_IME.apk from MoDaCo to "fix" the text prediction it didn't work, I did it again and it didn't work again...after reboot, the screen just stays black...dunno why I even bothered to push that....lol, now to re-flash.
[G1 Android Development] shaolinx:
Nice release! this has got to be the fastest Hero ROM there is.
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
i would simply just reboot and see if the htc screen stays again. it sounds like it just stalled...
[G1 Android Development] te_quiero_forever_girl:
well, I've been waiting for like 10 minutes and nothing happens. I have my SD partitioned and I went from CM 4.0.4
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
1.8 problems?

so many rommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmms idk which one to flash and stay with... i really like the BFS integration..

any problems with 1.8 other than multitouch,
[G1 Android Development] ChrisChavez:
When it does slow down....

Is there an easy way to speed it back up again??

Maybe like rebooting or something to clear the memory???? Or will that do nothing...? =/
[G1 Android Development] Dombfrsh:
Twisted Hero is the best one ive used so far you should give it try
[G1 Android Development] ChrisChavez:
When I FIRST flashed, it took a little while... maybe like 10 or so minutes...

When I flashed for the SECOND time, it took maybe 20 or so minutes....

Give it time. Make a sandwich.

I promise it will load up. =)
[G1 Android Development] disturkis4u:
I hate that it takes 20 minutes to unlock the SIM card.. i still also get the black HTC screen.. but it was pretty fast for the 10 minutes or so i used it before i got the black HTC screen when i hit home
[G1 Android Development] ezstacks:
what do i do

I have flashed the rom and now i am on a black screen but at the top i have the notification bar and the lock screen does come up should i just wait or reflash?:confused:
[G1 Android Development] Clyborg:
amazing

Thank you so much....this ROM is by far the most responsive and enjoyable to use.

It's not perfect...i did notice a few issues:

1. Multitouch in browser, but that has been identified by other users.

2. Google voice does not work with the default contact list that comes up after pressing phone. The workaround is to make the conact a favorite, and google voice will work. I suspect the application priority settings is forcing phone to call out before googlevoice is executed.

Anyway, thank to all the devs that are responsible for this amazing rom. Now all we need now is great software to work with it.

Jason
[G1 Android Development] LupinDaThird:
I don't know if this is a boot loop but when i tried updating to 1.8 my phones turns off and turns on. It doesn't get pass the boot screen... It's been doing this for about 10+ minutes!

HELP

Please&Thx

Will this ROM work on a 32A Magic?
[G1 Android Development] bizz3d:
Crap are you still running what your sig says? 300mb and 100 swappines?
[G1 Android Development] Apollo_316:
Can anyone test this and see if they can reproduce this force close error?

I'm running the Jacx hero version 1.7r2 on the T-mobile MyTouch3G rooted and has a 32b board. I go into the phone application, press the little favorite icon (person with a heart in the background) on the right of the dial pad. Then I press the "add new favorite" button and the keyboard pops up for quick search through the contacts. If I press on a contact and drag to get the keyboard to dissapear adding a favorite works fine, however if I press a key on the keyboard to type and search for a contact I get an instant force close.

Can anyone reproduce this on other phones like the magic or other mytouch3g's so we can let the dev know and possibly fix it?

I know it's a small issue but bugs are bugs lol!

~*Apollo*~
[G1 Android Development] saywhat4118:
oh, I didnt know that. so do i just reboot my phone for it to speed up again?
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
I posted this bug (along with the no text prediction in SMS) on JAC's Google Code page. It was posted a couple of times in the thread, but those posts are a drop in the bucket of "swap" posts.

Slowest app I've encountered id browser needs a litter tweaking
[G1 Android Development] tekthebeast:
How is the text messages with BFS? Does it change it at all?
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Yes, that should do it. Or you can swapoff then swapon again which will clear the swap file.
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
I've found Scoop Away works best.
[G1 Android Development] steven178s:
How do you swap off then on again
[G1 Android Development] :
I know that this one takes a while to boot. but is it ok for it to switch between the HTC and hero screen over and over? i didn't wipe from CM, should i have or is this no wipe? you can @ reply on twitter im @ahronzombi, thanks guys
[G1 Android Development] Binary100100:
Has it be discovered as to what caused this problem with the messaging app displaying "Loading..." if you restored your mms backup? I noticed this from going from 1.6 to 1.7. I had a hell of a time updating and when I finally got it to work I flashed my old userdata over and it worked. All but the messages that just displayed "Loading..."

It just sucks because everytime there is a new version out we have to start all over again? What causes this and is it still an issue with 1.8? I've very fond of how it runs now and I have a few texts that I would like to keep. But it won't do me any good to back them up if they can't be restored.
[G1 Android Development] Binary100100:
The only time I get the black HTC screen is when I first flash the ROM just before the setup screen. All of my apps start to load up (like weatherbug) and I have to keep playing with it to get to the setup screen. Most of the times I use ddms.bat to end almost all the apps running before I can even get to the setup screen. Pretty annoying.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
su

swapoff /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
[G1 Android Development] ivanmmj:
lol. Sorry, I had to lol at the post. This was a necessary post. :p
[G1 Android Development] :
after 20 min i answered my own question, you must wipe, after i wiped it booted in less than 5 min
[G1 Android Development] Apollo_316:
Hey thanks man! Just wanted to provide input where it may have been needed but sounds like you got it covered! I can't believe how many posts this thread has! :eek:

Chomp SMS?

Anyone else getting force closes when sending a message using Chomp? every version ive tried is always force closing whenever i try and send a message.
[G1 Android Development] roguestatuskat:
do you have to wipe your EXT3 too?
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Just patched BFS into HTC sourced kernel. FAST! To upload or not to upload.... :D
[G1 Android Development] mcarey66:
Another killer job buy you guys. This version is crazy fast. I hate to say what tons of others have said. But I don't think it can be said enough. It's very quick!

It's safe to say I'm gonna be rocking hero full time now. I'm more than satisfied with it's performance.

You wouldn't have to twist my arm to make me flash it ;) I vote YES on the upload.

Killer job man keep it up
[G1 Android Development] Boomgawd:
UPLOAD!

Yes do it.
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
I say yes, but out of curiosity, how long is it going to take for you guys to get both multi-touch and BFS into the same kernel?
[G1 Android Development] Jeffreybcam:
u have to wipe ext3 to make it work. this is a new kernal
[G1 Android Development] Apollo_316:
Will this rom work on a 32b board (MyTouch 3G)??? (Sorry if this is a really stupid question!) :o
[G1 Android Development] Jeffreybcam:
i think im going to stick wih JAc. Drizzy is inconsistant one min he says his stuff is fully optimized, then he drops a rom that says not optimized, he waits few days drop a BS rom and now he is reporting that no update his phone is broken , im not a hater and its kool that im getting stuff free. but its not easy getting hyped for somethng that is not there. anyone agree with me or im just being stubborn
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Thanks for reminding me!!!!!! Totally forgot, I'll recook really quick. Just keep forgetting, it's actually pretty simple.
[G1 Android Development] jkz209:
I always reformat my Ext3. So thats not the problem.
[G1 Android Development] roguestatuskat:
i didnt have to wipe my ext3 and everything is running a lot smoother with this 1.8 build but i did flash from 1.7r2
[G1 Android Development] Jeffreybcam:
did u goto your phone terminal and rm 2? then reput it?
[G1 Android Development] stopjockingme@gmail.com:
Please dont post crap like that, not a debate. Go else where with that bull-ishh please.
[G1 Android Development] Jeffreybcam:
My only problem is that i cannot save a contact when i start typing someones name it FC on me. anyon experiencing this?
[G1 Android Development] Jeffreybcam:
if u mad then dont reply its easy to ignore it
[G1 Android Development] jkz209:
Yep. i did this time anyway cuz it was a completely new build with a new kernal.
[G1 Android Development] Jeffreybcam:
how is it working now?
[G1 Android Development] jkz209:
Still the same as before, ive tried twisteds hero version and the stock one from the market and they both do it.
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
can we please get rid of the boot up sound? Its annoyingly loud! Thank u!
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
It's the only thing that keeps me going....
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
Oh thank you thank you. =) Really missed multi-touch for websites, the double-tap is good, but is always too close or not close enough. Will be watching your twitter for when you have it ready. If you can't get the entire build cooked, maybe just post up the boot.img so I can flash that. ;P
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
boot.img wouldn't be very helpful without modules.sqf and wlan.ko!!!!

Nonetheless, I made it into a no-wipe 2.9MB update w/ MT fixed :D

Personally, I prefer flashing whole builds, but this works as a quick fix.
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
adb remount
adb shell rm -r /system/media/boot.mp3

you can also change it to one of your choice...

find whatever you want it to be... after you do the above do this

adb push [I][B]pathofyourfile[/B][/I]\boot.mp3 /system/media
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
Any timeline as to when you'll get that patch uploaded? My fingers are itching to flash. :D
[G1 Android Development] amack10:
Are you kidding man I love hearin the boot up noise. When I play music its way louder than normal the audio hack rocks.
[G1 Android Development] :
+1 to that
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Here is the fix.

This is a NO WIPE update. It is only 2.9MB. You do not need to wipe AT ALL (get it, no wipe?)

Personally, I prefer flashing entire builds. I have to go to bed though, so you'll have to wait for an entire build tomorrow.

This is an HTC sourced kernel (similar to 1.7r2a and 1.6r2a because of source of makefile) with BFS patched in. Thanks @cyanogen.

2.6.29.6-jac-ski-root@DesertLake-Labs

http://www.justanotherdev.slackdev.com/HTC_BFS_nowipe.zip

please note, I hacked this together as a quick fix, not a finalized product.

I changed a couple other things when I cooked this from when I originally said I patched BFS in.

BFS is still there, but there are some updated commits as well.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
I won't be updating the OP because this is just a quick fix for those who MUST have MT. hahaha jk. I'll release a full build tomorrow.
[G1 Android Development] :
thanks:D:D im going to france so i thought i would have to live without multi - touch for the weekend
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Running pretty speedy, I am currently running on a 300mb swap and 100 swappiness XD, but its pretty fast! I will keep using it, since I am to lazy to change it right now. Haven't really had a slowdown, just a tinnnny bit of stickiness when coming out of a long lock time, then like a sec later its back to normal.

Its like 3 times more responsive on my device than 1.6b. No real force closes, just the known issues with hero, like the landscape problem with the home screen.
[G1 Android Development] pertsix:
I am getting launcher FC's out the ying-yang. This build is A LOT faster than before! Stick with BFS!
[G1 Android Development] FrEsHaZzBuRu:
Failure at line 88

While trying to install I also get the message "Failure at line 88: copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA: Installation aborted" on both v1.7 and v1.8. v1.6 installed great. I wiped many times and i have the correct radio and SPL. Other hero roms also install fine. Please any ideas? anything change from 1.6 to 1.7 and stayed with 1.8???
[G1 Android Development] :
wow 300mb!
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Got the idea from another member who said hero runs fast on a "no class" 2gb card. So I was like "WTH, I'll try it". I will post results after a day, since tomorrow is school, and since I flashed and repartitioned like around 5pm pst today, I need real world tests to see any slow down.

Hehe, thanks to all the guides and easier ways to root and stuff I learned how to flash and stuff in like 4 hours since I got the G1(I got it 9/3). I just need the sdk so I can do real work. Right now I am using the terminal and the recovery console to do most of the dirty work. All of this is pretty simple.
[G1 Android Development] ChrisChavez:
FOR REAL!!!!!!! I used to be all about that fool... I'm beginning to think he's completely BS (like JAC said during their little tiff)

After 1.8, I'm all about JAC now. Gonna post a video on Youtube very soon to talk about just this matter. Lol...

[G1 Android Development] xitaxuta:
only now you realize that? ;) :p
[G1 Android Development] teknomanelvis:
whats the htcbfsnowipe file on jacs page?

im on 1.7 do i flash that before flahing 1.8?
[G1 Android Development] xitaxuta:
is a patch to get Multi-Touch working ! :)

thx guys!! works great :D
[G1 Android Development] civicdrivr:
Im alittle peeved that the flip clock no longer flips, but I think I saw that HTC made it so it no longer flips. That kinda sucks. It made for a good novelty.

Other then that, Ive been running this rom for about 2 hours now. It seems much better then the last time I tried Hero (about 2 weeks ago). Lets see how it goes tomorrow, but so far, so good. Hat tip to you sir.
[G1 Android Development] teknomanelvis:
i was debating on flashing but since there a MT patch ill go ahead with it
[G1 Android Development] SG_Shadow:
This is by far the fastest hero ROM out. I'm still waiting for the blue tooth support. Once its figured out, I'm all over this ROM.

Newb Question:

When partitioning my sd card, what should my Linux-swap be set to for running HERO ROM's? Currently I have partitioned 32MB.
[G1 Android Development] xitaxuta:
try with 96mb you wont see HTC Loading screen ever again
[G1 Android Development] xitaxuta:
quick question to the devs .. is the a way to patch the browser to always start off loading a webpage in a all zoomed-out view?
[G1 Android Development] x1tyme:
I know Sapphire support added...

How can i make my wifi to work?? anybody....
[G1 Android Development] cicihaha001:
Would you please add VPN and HTC Sync?

Then it will perfect for me totally
[G1 Android Development] xitaxuta:
omg i can play music and do stuff now with MINIMAL to NO LAGS this is huge.. feels like the G1 got a quad-core CPU !

ps.. my girlfriend started to get jelaous of my phone.. i cant get enough of it now lmao xDD
[G1 Android Development] angelghost:
which rom is faster ,this JACxHEROSkiv1.8- JAC/CC 2.83.x rom or CyanogenMod 4.1.6
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Check on Loccy's browser thread. This ROM is just including his stuff.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I know, I almost forgot I was on a Hero ROM when I was testing this after it was all tweaked out. JAC is the man, and I'm glad he let's me help him out.
