So I ran 2.2a all day yesterday and loved it at first. Played around with it and declared it "stable", so took it out in the evening. Big mistake, unfortunately.

Plenty of random reboots, battery life non-existent (from fully charged to about 10% and bugging me to recharge within about 5 hours - probably because of the constant reboots), just general weirdness (e.g. the phone part randomly not working, calls not being completed out and in, odd hangs and lockups). It seemed as if it was fine when you're using it and it got up a head of steam, but put it in your pocket and leave it alone for a bit, and that's when all the grief happens (hence why constant experimentation during the day made me deem it stable enough to take out).

There seems to be a lot of discussion in the Sapphire boards about the BFS-240 kernel causing such behaviour on Magics, particularly on Evil D's ROM thread. Am not sure if these issues are more pronounced on the Magic because you G1 guys don't seem to have had such a bad experience - I see a couple of people reporting reboots but nothing like the awful experience I had. Bottom line was it just wasn't usable.

I did switch to a 96Mb swap just before going out from a 64Mb earlier in the day, but I don't see why that would have caused such grief - maybe a bit of a gradual slowdown, but not what I'm describing above...?

Anyway, have switched to xROM for now, which I am digging so far. Later on I might give Evil D's latest a go though, they've got the BFS-300 kernel up and running.

hero force closes everytime i wanna add contact to my fav widgets, is there anyway to fix that?
[G1 Android Development] cyberrobin:
Installed the 2.2 remix. But getting a force close on the Android market? maybe because I backup/restored my market db?

Maybe I will completely wipe my phone including all the apps, etc and only backup my sms message's and try again?

boot loop

I dont know what I am doing wrong. and 1k threads is just to much to look through i did look through the last 5 threads. sorry if this is redundant I have a MT3G. and boot loops is like fruit loops no one likes them. okay .. heres the deal i have the stock 4gb card divided into 2 partitions fat32 about 3.9GB and a linux-swap part 64MB part. with an unused 14 MB part. okay. I am using a 1.2.1G and the SPL that was linked in thread. the 2005 one but the one that was linked i flashed that first the radio is the 26i radio as well.

steps i did

1 flashed SPL to the one that was linked in thread.

2 wipe data factory reset.

3 repair ext

4 installed the 2.2a

5 reboot.

6 gets to hero and keeps going through boot loops ..

I was looking forward to this ROM as i read all the hype. oh yeah .. im using just the 4gb card class 2 that came with the device. but reading seams like other are using class 2 and are getting amazing results. i so apologize beforehand that his may be redundant but it there something i should try to get this bad ass rom to work. or just call it quits and run something that works. its frustrating been working on this for an hour now. thanks for all your efforts and help.

I believe this is the sapphire thread so its real confusing to see all the people using the g1 on this board. maybe a moderator can go through and put the G1 threads to the dream side. as I have a MT3G and my issues are specific to the device. maybe this thread would be cut in half if that were to happen. I want to use just 2 partitions 1 fat32 and one linux-swap now should i change linux-swap to ext3 ???
[G1 Android Development] Loccy:
Buckbullstallion - you need three partions not two. One fat32, one ext, one linux-swap.
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
???????????????

FINALLY. It's not just me here. AGAIN, this morning, the phone just went dead... I couldn't even use the power button to get it back on (had to take out the battery). I'd use my phone all day, no problems... then I set it down, BAM! Lock-up. Some of my contacts disappeared for no reason whatsoever and some calls are not getting through. I get random FCs on the weirdest stuff, things I never got FCs for before and I've been using the same apps since day zero. Something is wrong with this ROM and it ain't a linux-swap either. This is the first time any of JACSkis Hero ROMs have done things like this. I may need to, for the first time in months, run a non-Hero rom for now.
[G1 Android Development] Bzerk1:
thats wierd, everyone was praisin but not got bad remarks (not a bad thing just results) but im actually the opposite. didnt work for me too well in the begining, fixed it, and i played with it pretty long, it's good for me. stable, speedy enough, and no FC, gps is fast.

only thing i would like is BT and a bit faster when it comes to apps.
[G1 Android Development] cyberrobin:
Anyone else got FC's on the Android Market?
[G1 Android Development] free-sidux:
happend to me from time to time when switching between hero versions.

also when flashing the userdata.img. did not find a reasonable solution so far, full wipe and reflash works in any case.
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
It should only go off when you unlock the phone. If this not the case, please report the bug to the blinking LED link in my signature.

It is assumed that if you unlock the phone you probably don't need to see the LED anymore.

However, there are two manual versions where it will continue to run until you physically kill them by clicking on a notification.
[G1 Android Development] domex2k:
I had ran 2.2b for 27 hours and so now i just installed 2.2a so far no loading screens or FC's seems to run about then same, but i think 2.2b runs a tad bit faster. also without configuring user.conf
[G1 Android Development] Rosaski:
This is exactly what happend to me....

I had to flash back to drizzy's rom.....
[G1 Android Development] Rosaski:
I meant to reply to this post

So, yeah, this is exactly what happened to me on 2.2b. Had to switch back to drizzy's.
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Why are you guys still using A and B when the remix is what you should be using till the update comes. For all sapphire/MT3G/magic users I will be starting a thread in the sapphire section to try to keep this clean for G1 users and not get all the feed back mixed up. I work at 12:00pm est time and I get out about 3-4pm est time and that is the first thing I will do when I get home. Also both post will get updated today with the latest build I tested last night and ill be testing all day no black screens or reboots so far and it is amazing so ill see you guys soon mike should be around for helping and Q: as normal unless he is really busy so be patitont.

Anything that does a people search will FC still we look at this as a small bug speed and stablilty is what we are looking for first so give some time on that.

plz use the remix till then: http://www.4shared.com/file/136918974/b6e7bf4c/jacheroski22r4_Remix.html
[G1 Android Development] Charly_One:
Hi Jac,

How can I put the Stock.apk and com.htc.StockWidget.apk back on your latest ROM (2.2a)? Loved the stockticker on my homescreen... Thanx, best and fastest Hero ROM yet!
[G1 Android Development] aekdb1130:
Yeah the stock app is great. i use it to track a few indexes and commodities..

Here are the 3 files needed... they are non-odexed therefore will work with this rom

just unzip, put them in the app_s folder and reboot
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
dont restore market database.. the first time you go to the market all you previous downloads will be in the list of mydownloads..

try the remix rom
[G1 Android Development] :
i will be trying the remix rom now... i never have best of luck with JACxHERO. I will be starting from scratch with the reformatting of my entire 4gb sd card and work from there. Manup stated this will run fine without no configs done - has then been true for some of you guys? also on previous HERO builds i've ran 96mb swap...should i go back to 32mb for this particular version?
[G1 Android Development] emilj:
32mb for the older builds but it is HIGHLY suggested by the development team to stick with 64mb for this build. One great suggestion is to Partition your card with 32mb left over unused at the end so if you ever switch to another build you dont have to repartition.

*Try using the search this thread feature next time* :-)
[G1 Android Development] :
LOL you got me!!! at soon as i was about to post NEVERMIND you replied i did search BTW but the answer was right under my nose on the 2nd post of this thread under benchmark test:D
[G1 Android Development] maxisma:
Okay, as already mentioned this kernel doesn't come with the RAM hack for magics..

ccyrowski, please fix that =)
[G1 Android Development] matthewallen72:
fc on hero l.e.d.

anyone getting a force close from hero led's if so please advise what I can do to correct this. otherwise this is the best one yet. thanks
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
It's fixed it just hasn't been released yet.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Delete your market cache.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
the BFS-300 kernel has the 10MB ram hack implemented for both Dreams and MyTouchs.

In fact, mytouch my dream.
[G1 Android Development] PoPpiLLs:
Akademist101 do it from adb not recovery.
[G1 Android Development] domex2k:
Thank you the remix is running smooth, audio is working for camcorder aswell.

someone had mention before and they are correct this is running as smooth as cyan, and without any configurations tweaks. :)
[G1 Android Development] :
yeah even though it is RECOMMENDED to run with 64mb im running with 96mb right now and its still smooth...GOOD STUFF PPLZ!!
[G1 Android Development] lucky 69:
hey miketaylor00,thanks for shareing this one ,im on 2.2a right know .can you just flash the rom or do i need to do a wipe and all ?thanks great work you guys
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
I second that. Mike nice work on the remix. I was running the original 2.2r4 but this remix is so much more solid that I dare say it rivals cyanogenmod and xrom in terms of speed and so far even stability (no FC's since after I flashed last night).
[G1 Android Development] akycia:
you need to do a full wipe/repartition.... or at least i did.
[G1 Android Development] dbla921:
Tested both A and B

and I hate that neither have word suggestions when I type in a text message or email.

Is there a way to push a library into it? If so, how?! I like using the touch screen keyboard for quick texts, but with my fat fingers I often push more than one button and I love how other Hero ROMs have the word suggestions..

Any help :)
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
I had to wipe.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Yea, it's using a special kernel i made. BFS-242 if anything i'd say.
[G1 Android Development] BombaMyte:
Not to be the one to rain on our Hero's parade, but has anyone been able to tether? I'm running 2.2b & Wireless Tether for Root tells me...

No Netfilter!
Sorry, but your kernel does not have the necessary features for tethering.

Just looking at/for responses. Please keep the flame to a minimum if any.
[G1 Android Development] lucky 69:
i thought so thanks i will do that !!
[G1 Android Development] bolmedias:
This is quite annoying, but I can live without it. A fix, however, would be appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] Bzerk1:
Human torch!

FLAME ON! lol, jk, just press ignore and use it like usual, it'll work, it does for me.
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
Fantastic work!
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Anyone who is having trouble with battery life with A and B please give this one a try. It is on a custom BFS version and shouldn't have the problems that BFS 240 has. I tried reading through the posts that I missed and there are too many for me to respond to every single one. If you are still having issues after going to the r4 remix let me know.
[G1 Android Development] andrews240:
Can anyone confirm the MD5 on the remix for me please?

Thanks in advance!
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
If you are on the MT3G and using 2.2r4 remix don't forget to do these steps.
[G1 Android Development] 18.4009:
I looked for the answer to this question but didn't find it... So if the answer is here please only reply with positive flaming. (ie - Don't you know how to use the search button?) Not (Man your an idiot! that was just discussed 40 pages back! dumb a55!)

Anyways lol

Does anyone know how to make this so it doesn't auto mount the sd card when plugged into a pc? I would much rather mount it manually if possible since I keep it plugged into my notebook a lot of the time when I am working on it and end up having to unmount it 95% of the time once it is plugged in.

Thanks!

[G1 Android Development] natcom:
Thanks for the nice work you are doing the only thing missing is a Roxie hack to open the phone without crashing I will definitely donate when this is working.
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
Where I am its friday.... Tomrrow being saturday, how is that a problem?? lol

Im sorry, maybe I miss understand.

Thanks for the remix, waiting for the update in the next couple hours before I re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re flash for the day lol.

Anyone ever done a test on the NAND of these phones to see how many times they can be safly flashed?

I know if im doing 2-3 times daily some of you must be doing it 20-40 times.
[G1 Android Development] ce_rob:
sorry, the days are off as i wrote that post wednesday LOL.

reexplained:

i schedule something for two days from now and the 4x1 widget shows it as being scheduled tomorrow while the big 4x4 widget shows the correct date/time...

Umm I'm not sure it's due to ROM or some Odd-ness, Has anyone having same issues as me when i press a button to wake up my g1 and it take bit too long to go form black screen to lock screen? i'll say about 10 secs or so.
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Which ROM are you using?

2.2r4 remix
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Well its been a known issue that we are aware of,but I have not had that on 2.2r4 when i was on it. I am not using that anymore so I would just stay with that till the next update and see if your still getting it. If it is going on everytime I would really try a wipe and flash to see if it stops.
[G1 Android Development] firestrife23:
I noticed this only happen when i unplug the charger or usb cable, it take forever to load to lock screen, while it's plugged in and it's snappy.
[G1 Android Development] lucky 69:
ok running 2.2r4 just set everything up widgets and all very fast and smooth. i was on 2.2a had no probs at all.battery life was fine for me on that build .but i am amaze how this one is running .market is fine no fc or load screen yet been trying to get one but nothing .had my wife text me to see if it was fine and it was .the purple led is nice .after i cleared the notification the light stayed on, so i hit the power button once for it to sleep then right after hit menu and light went off .the light are is very bright the best yet .will send more info if i find anything .i have linux swap at 64mb .thanks miketalor00 ,manup456,ccyrowski,jac for your hard work ! man can't wait till next update ! hard to top this one but i bet you will

Black screen issue killed it for me after 2 days......flashing back to something more stable. Also on 2nd day I started to get "loading" issue as well.
[G1 Android Development] Akademist101:
i had problems when i restored certain things onto my phone, as in not being able to receive texts or view text threads.

so i reflashed the ROM didnt restore anything and cos my contacts were synced to my account that was sorted and just redownloaded the apps from the market.

everything works great, no text problems able to receive and be notified - happy. :)

thinking about flashing to the remix version.... out of 10 how much better is it over 2.2a?
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
Messaging auto correction

has anyone gotten a fix for the messaging app not auto correcting and etc?

has anyone tried pushing the cyanogen htc ime to see if it works?
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
been running the 2.2r11 still and its working good. 2 days now and no loading screens other than when i open the keyboard on the home screen on accident. running with 64mb swap and the user.conf that was included with the rom.the auto correct doesnt work in messaging but thats fine, i just open the keyboard and type away like that then close it and go back to home, an easy fix for a small problem. the IME does work with auto correct in portrait mode using the peep widget and other items. weird why it isnt working in messaging though. for those guys that are running 2.2a still, try running 2.2r4 remix its a beast and is so much faster.

i am going to post a video in a little bit, gotta do some cleaning first, my place is a wreck lol

i performed this step, does it now mean i am using 64mb swappiness? how do i check in terminal? Also, is it safe to update to BFS 300 with the current build, i am using the b version. and lastly, will this fix the issue i am having when returning to the home screen. i get the HTC logo then the loading symbol but it doesnt last more than like 10 sec verses the other HERO roms where im stuck like that for a good 45 seconds, still annoying tho. thanks!

My experience with 2.2r4

I'm coming from JACxHeroSki 1.6r2a. I've been running that ROM since it came out in August. Great work BTW JAC/CC, MikeTaylor00 and the others that worked on 1.6r2a (and every other ROM for that matter). This has been the best, most stable hero rom to date.

Now, as for 2.2r4, overall I'm pleased. I've had only 2 issues so far (flashed last night around 1am PDT). No reboots yet, at least not any I'm aware of. The HTC screen does not show up much, but Rosie seems a little sluggish to me. As for my issues, the first is due to Rosie's sluggishness I imagine. But when scrolling through the home screens, Rosie will hang and open whatever widget your finger is on. Example, when flipping past the calendar, it will open the app. The other issue I had happened only one time, but it has never happened to me before so I felt I should mention it. I got an HTC screen while just scrolling between home screens. I had hardly any widgets, because it happened about 10 minutes after it fully booted for the first time. But as I said, this has never happened before. As for speed, other than home scrolling it is a very fast rom. Everything seems to work. People having WiFi problems just hit 'ignore' when the net filter warning comes up. After that you should be fine. I get hardly no skips on Pandora and similar apps. SMS seems fine, MMS I don't use very much and have not really tested yet. GPS took a little longer that usual to locate me, but still found me in a reasonable time. Browser seems smooth an responsive. And a let's see here what else...LED fix is cool (thanks jinx and fictionles). I think that about covers it.

You guys have done a great job. Thanks CC, MikeTaylor00, JAC, Manup and everyone else who worked on or tested this ROM.

Overall, I still think 1.6r2a feels more stable to me. But you guys are definately moving in a positive direction. Keep up the good work! :)

I have been using the 2.4r4remix the whole day. it is faster. The black screen, touchflo reloading issue still exist, but it happened toward the end of the day. Also as the battery close to 10%, it starts acting up.

It is definitely better, it just needs to be stable. I am sure the modders are working hard on it.

Is there another release candidate we can try other than the remix? The LED alerts is great.

The 10MB hack seems to cause problems with anything that has complicated graphics. You can switch to 2.2 A which doesn't have it or wait for the next release which will have the option to have the hack or not.
