Thank you!!

This rom is lightening fast. I have been waiting for something like this for months, especially now that there are some crystal clear tutorials for partitioning the SD card and activating the linux swap. Your instructions were helpful, too. Thank you SO much!!! This thing is freaking awesome. I use my phone for my work and school (and entertainment :) ) and a build like this improves a small portion of my life (I am that dependent on technology :) ).
[G1 Android Development] Jeffreybcam:
welcome to XDA. thats how it is here. the SM think just cuz they know **** we all should know the same even if we are new to this. dont worry i been though it with many of these stuck ups too...

but anyway Drizzy is telling yall to be patient. its just a phone or a ROM... its crazy to see how people type they f5 button is broken cuz they refresh every 5 secs thats no good. remember theres a life out there tooo. drake has kids and a life.. he wants to make sure what he putting out is good. so it takes time. so please just be patient and u will be happy. im assuming everything will be ready tomorrow. in the mean time find something to do. if yall have nothing to do. then try to help newbies with their phone. before u know it. there will be an update... :) good luck and just a reminder. if your phone is acting laggy and slow after 2 days of being fast just take off the battery for 30 secs and put it back on. it should be back to normal. thats what i do.. and when you use powerful widgets such as CAmera, Weather, and Music even Pictures your phone will goto the loading screen. im going to buy. a4gb class 4 sd card to see the speed right now im running on the factory SD card which is 1gb and it seems okay... but remember its just a phone...no need to get angry or create enemies
[G1 Android Development] Jeffreybcam:
has N e one realize this. when someone text u around 1214am it cme up as yesterday how to fix that
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
---Nope---
[G1 Android Development] Jeffreybcam:
kool i guess ill have to wait till the update it might be okay
[G1 Android Development] amd85:
That was my problem too until i use chompsms as my default sms. After doing that all my message did gave me the right time.

You can always revert it back to stock sms after that and all should be fine and working properly. This is based on my experience with this problem.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
.. wow.. because well idk gosh this one is hard.. maybe because you recieved the message the previous day.. common sense dude come on now. if its midnight and someone texted me at 11:59.. its gonna say yesterday.. and dude it just says yesterday whats the big deal..?
[G1 Android Development] stopjockingme@gmail.com:
MODS might hate me for this but... clr822 you are a piece of ****. GTFO srsly.
[G1 Android Development] Six6Sicks:
This thread isn't for hating, it's for bugs, questions, help, AND COMPLIMENTS TO THE DEVS WHO WORK THEIR A$$ OFF TO IMPROVE OUR PHONES.

Drizzy, take your time on v2.9, I'd rather wait for greatness then get tiny updates every 12 hours.

+1 for BAN on clr822.
[G1 Android Development] heatfan:
That happen to me also... delete your Ext3 partition and partition it again.. then reflash the rom.
[G1 Android Development] morbidrealities:
WOW...

Seriously.....seriously.....dude....unless you're paying the dev's mortgages and all their bills...drink a big giant cup of STFU....seriously:mad:
[G1 Android Development] lilwing:
im on 2.7 and everyones talking about how fast 2.8 is and i know 5 minutes after i flash it drizzys goin to get on his twitter like upoading 2.9 now
[G1 Android Development] DaOne:
Did that 4 times. Even checked the md5 of the rom. All is good. Am I the only one?
[G1 Android Development] domanads2k4:
Does anyone no how to stop the auto add feature on the g1 or in gmail to stop automatically adding contacts from people who aren't in your my contatcs group? I'm running Drizzy's 2.8
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
2.8 is sick... very fast, and worth the wipe !!!!
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
@domanads- Under settings there is an option for this. Go to Settings>Data Synchronization>Google>

From here you can change what settings you want synced and not synced. You can also turn on and off auto-sync. Hope this helps.

As far as syncing unwanted contacts (example I use craigslist alot and when I send an email to sale:XXXXXXX, I sometimes end up with that contact in my phone) I do not know how to get GMail to not add those to my contacts. Anyone care to chime in on that?
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
Be Patient Everybody!

From Drizzy's Twitter account:

@notxel21 Thanks bro man there is so many people that still dont understand that! I have some followers trying to ***** at me and telling me​

http://twitter.com/HeartBreakDrake/status/3088294218​

And

@notxel21 to hurry and release it! man them dudes can suck my ****! but thanks man you are a true and respectful person!

In other news: Bluetooth via command line!:D

Bt is working via commandline on the new release though ;)​

[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
@lilwing- Drizzy has been hard at work on 2.9 or the collab, if you are wanting to see what 2.9 may have in store, I would say update to 2.8. Just dont set up the phone as much as you normally would. I have gotten to the point where I dont change too many settings just in case a new ROM comes out or I decide to flash an update.

Until I get my third G1, this will have to do. 2.8 is a definite must have ROM though, especially for anyone wanting to experience HERO without having to drop 500+ on a new phone. I think the G1 does a great job with handling the 2.8 ROM and even if 2.9 doesnt get released for a while I am happy with the current build.
[G1 Android Development] lamaravish:
Any sms issues with this build? (Plz say no :)" haha
[G1 Android Development] darkphoenix2012:
Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in. With my personal experience, I've noticed so far 2.8 to be a huge increase in speed, but nothing helped more than this SD Card I've chuckled every time I take the card out and copy the new rom over to it, it is quite fast. I don't keep a lot of media or games on my sd card or even a lot of apps, mostly just roms and stuff, if you are like me and space isn't an issue for you then I would recommend considering one of these, I've even noticed nandroid being faster and rom flashing is faster too!!:)
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
@lamaravish- Only SMS issue I have ran across is the SMS app saying texts are from "yesterday" even when they were sent today. This only occurs from about midnight to 2 am though. After that, all works well again... another user says installing ChompSMS and using it for a bit and then uninstalling corrects this problem. I think it would be safe to say that SMS *AND* MMS both work great in this build- 2.8
[G1 Android Development] komplexicpnoi:
id like to make a request, on cyan's build, in settings/sd card and storage option, there was a tab for the space on the sd card second partition, that showed what was used and whats available. thought it was very handy and was wondering is it possible to add that into this build?
[G1 Android Development] darkphoenix2012:
I think the only things I could possibly ask for that 2.8 doesn't have already is a working youtube HQ, and LED capability, and paid apps from market, I could wait a while for BT or whatever else. 2.9 will be awesome just like all the releases they have put so much hard work into!!
[G1 Android Development] jump_912:
yea, I find this kinda annoying too. would be grateful to hear more info about this, if anyone have any kind of workaround or things like that..
[G1 Android Development] OFinch:
hi

I am not sure if these problems have been announced already but I am having a few small problems with 2.8. Neither being a really big deal but to some it might. Please let me know if this is only happening to me if someone wants to try it out or if it's happening. When I record a video and try to watch it, the gallery force closes. And the second problem is my calender isn't sync'ing up with what I had set previously. Thanx guys and keep up the great work drizzy.
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
HQ works on 2.8 when using Wifi
[G1 Android Development] abteer:
Yes I'm dropping 4 or 5 Texts a day. The app SMS to Gmail has helped out though.
[G1 Android Development] Mr. Moe:
Actually It is not only in this build. My wife's G1 which is not rooted has the same problem. It is showing SMS and phone calls from me that I made to her on friday has been showing yesterday for the last two days now.
[G1 Android Development] hotvico:
Sorry if I answer you something off topic but I have you a swap partition of 32mb, how do I set the swappiness?
[G1 Android Development] chosen1920:
NO Market

Does any one else not have the android market I have re-flashed and it still isn't there for me.
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
I've never had an issue with NOT having the market.

Do you have all 3 partitions set up fat32, ext3, and linux swap.

Did you wipe before flashing? Protected paid apps don't work at the moment.

If you have everything set up as far as partitions do this:

This is how I installed without any problems:

: rename to update.zip

: place in the root of sd card

: shut off device

: boot into recovery

: wipe

: go to console and hit enter

(enter)

# mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd

# cd /system/sd

# rm -rf /system/sd/*

# reboot recovery

: now wipe again

: repair ext system

: flash

Enjoy!!
[G1 Android Development] domanads2k4:
That's what I'm having the same issue with I hate looking through my contacts and seeing sale.dbfj933930508@craigslist.com lol SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!:D
[G1 Android Development] clarkee:
haha that's what i thought when i read their response! sounds like general android bugginess as at least 1 person has this with the stock FW.

i think you become a senior member after so many posts ;)
[G1 Android Development] Jeffreybcam:
its just crazy.. how people are quick to respond with out taking their time to read but do u know how i can fix the problem. on cupcake it didnt do it to me
[G1 Android Development] rivryan:
force closes when trying to playback a movie/video in 2.8?
[G1 Android Development] clarkee:
read the thread. you're not the first person to report this.
[G1 Android Development] alexdancer2:
apk question??

hey guys i dunno if this has been answered yet but is there a fix for paid app not downloading??? there is like 100+ pages so i would rather just ask thanks
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Unfortunately no like drizzy said if you wanted them you should have backed them up and restored them with package installer if you wanted them and dont flame me here guys but anyone have a fix for the android widgets not working if not oh well i can wait
[G1 Android Development] rivryan:
could you direct me? I tried searching this forum without luck -_-;
[G1 Android Development] chosen1920:
Ok so i did everything exactly like this and I still don't have a market app. Can some one please help me? I have all three partitions set up correctly and all that. Everything on the Rom works, jut no market app. :confused:
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Okay either find a market apk or pull it from another build and just push it to your phone
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
from twitter: drizzy: Me and JAC just finished the new 405 hero release! It will be up later today!
[G1 Android Development] Mutalemwa:
405

In for a treat later:D
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
I just saw that!!

I'm gonna re-partition my sdcards now in preparation!!

Good things come to those who WAIT!!! :cool:

Thank you Drizzy & Jac for all the hard work and dedication! Much appreciated!!
[G1 Android Development] clarkee:
i said that first! stop stealing my lines! :p
[G1 Android Development] joadchob:
waiting for JAC, be get out of work :)
[G1 Android Development] sacredsoul:
I can go and sleep peacefully now... its 12.52AM here.
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
I am ecstatic...
[G1 Android Development] mhsbrian:
:d!!!

You guys are just awesome, thanks for all your hard work and the pleasure you bring to my techy heart <3.
[G1 Android Development] rivryan:
has anyone tried/put myfaves on this rom?
[G1 Android Development] clintz:
So Drizz.. uhh... when u gonna let me tap that? :-o
[G1 Android Development] kobz1973:
woohooow yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah
[G1 Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
Apparently paid/protected apps are repaired as well.

That's a definate deal winner for me.

Just tryin this ROM out to take a break from Cyan's (super quick and almost flawless), and it pretty bloody fantastic....... :D

You developers make the original software programmers look like learners... :)
[G1 Android Development] chuckhriczko:
I searched high and low but didnt find any info related to the GPS. Does anyone else notice the GPS doesnt seem to work properly? Sherpa, Google Places Directory, HTC Clock/Weather Widget, Google latitude. They all seem to not be updating and in certain apps like Sherpa I get an error that it can't find my location. Just curious.
[G1 Android Development] g1junky:
quote from twitter:

justanotherdev: drizzy is on this time :) I'm testing today and will drop after work :) Thanks for waiting folks3 minutes ago from web
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
My G1 did this for the first few days of me having mine as well. I do remember that when I started using ChompSMS the error seemed to correct itself. I am not sure if this is a software problem or a network error, but it does get kind of annoying having to scroll down and then up and then back down.
[G1 Android Development] xitaxuta:
GPS works fine in 2.8 (not as good as cupcake build.. but its working) make sure your arent inside buildings. The Location services apps like those your mention above DOESNT locate if you are on 3G.. if your are on EDGE network (2G) works just fine (wierd yes, i have no idea why tho :confused: go figure?!?! :p lol)
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
GPS is working fine for me. Before 2.8 I was using JAC2.7.3superlite and it wasnt, maybe just a ROM issue, maybe it wasnt included since it was superlite. It any case, I had to use it yesterday to find a street and it got me there no problems whatsoever....

**crosses fingers for an update today**

Just throwing this out there, but I love how all of us here on XDA are like so impatient, wait.. bad word.... "anxious" about 2.9 when 2.8 is already treating us so well! Just goes to show what these guys here can do and that we are all thankful for their work!
[G1 Android Development] hiroots:
where have you been? please search. the only roms that have myfave is jf's builts. which is just a basic root room. it never existed in any other rom/built. its because its a protected app. and something to do with its odex file.
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
No im sorry thats not correct you can now push the myfaves apps to your system/apps folder which allows it to work on cm and most 1.5 builds too idk if anyone has tried this on hero yet
[G1 Android Development] clarkee:
these all work fine for me in 2.8

I use latitude and also gps tracker from the market.
[G1 Android Development] mhsbrian:
He probably didn't wipe his etx3 parition or format it. They all work for me as well, and have been without any force closes or anything.

I've noticed I've only had force closes and issues if I tried to flash without wiping my ext3 parition. It's just the best thing to do when you use a whole new ROM.
[G1 Android Development] The Spirit:
any images of the rom?
[G1 Android Development] clarkee:
i wish i could headbutt everybody who said that in this thread so far :p

joking aside, watch post #1 and the main forum posts, you'll see it when it arrives.
[G1 Android Development] rlee008:
Seems like 2.9 isn't going to happen... Drizzy twittered that 2.9 will not released but the HERO colab between himself and JAC will take over and starting with a fresh build...

"The new hero is based of the 1.76.405.6 release not the tmobile! also there is no 2.9 anymore me and JAC. Starting a fresh build!"

rlee
[G1 Android Development] clarkee:
lock the thread :P 269 pages of people talking rubbish is enough :P
[G1 Android Development] Six6Sicks:
Agreed, if anyone was to try and search this thread for answers that weren't on page 1, it would be insane and then we'd get a bunch of "LEARN HOW TO SEARCH" posts.
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
Yea I just saw that...
[G1 Android Development] ma2ga:
May I make a suggestion?

Ladies & Gentlemen,

So many of us are eager to test the beta release of the next JAC/Drizzy collabo. And thats fine.

Then, you will have the ones that are gonna complain that BT & LEDs are not working and so on and so on.

JAC & Associates have done a great job on xROM v1.1; everything works flawlessly BT, LEDs, Market etc.... and with the weather widget/flip clock, you have come pretty close UI, of course, without Rosie. Fast, stable, lag-free.

This post is directed at those whom will complain about the obvious that pertains to every HERO build ported to the G1.

For those of us that need a stable ROM where everything works, the choice is endless, from Cyanogen to Soulife to JACxROM?

For those of us, geeks, nerds, techies that understand the value of beta testing, let us enjoy testing these builds and give meaningful feedback to these devs.

Let me get off the soap box... enough said. Job well done to all the hardworking devs out there. HOOAH.
[G1 Android Development] dragon4000:
Very well said, thx.
[G1 Android Development] ckrest:
Sorry if this has been answer, not finding it in a search.. but Exchange is not supported even though it is enabled?

Looking in the logcat it appears to be failing because of the devicetype being sent with spaces..

https://webmail.company1.com/Micros...se&DeviceId=HTCAnd9fb7664b&DeviceType=TMobile G2 Touch

Exception is illegal character in query at index 112 which is the 1st space in "TMobile G2 Touch".

TouchFlo

im trying to create widgets and my TouchFlo keeps FC, any easy fix to this or do i need to rewipe and reinstall?

the application touchflo (process com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again
[G1 Android Development] :
you cant use non htc widgets in 2.8
[G1 Android Development] madunix:
ooo wow... didnt know that, didnt see it in the changelog, didnt hear about it neither... worked fine in 2.7, i guess ill just wait for 2.9? its no big deal all i wanted was for my battery widget on the desktop and my internal memory widget. thanks for ur work devs. greatly appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] Six6Sicks:
Yes please. Drizzy started thread, he should be able to request to close it.
[G1 Android Development] dav1boy:
I have yet to flash the latest rom but ive been using v2 since yesterday and i havent seen it slow down one bit. People have to understand its give or take. Drizzy has designed this to be usuable. And its just that, usuable. Even for daily use. People complain about no compcache and whatever else they have become acustom to in other hero roms....well truth of the matter is with all the bells and whistles they still dont run good enough to use. There are things this rom lacks from others and for good reason. Good work on this drizz!
[G1 Android Development] maxisma:
i don't complain ;-)

I just suggest.
[G1 Android Development] nuttyCreaToR:
Maybe not using the compache module is the reason that this rom is much faster ?

I think that maybe the overhead of compressing swap memory isn't worth it.

Still i'm very curious what makes the big difference, does it have something to do with swap memory settings, or is it something completely different ? (difference in kernel and/or rosie implementations)
[G1 Android Development] thugmafia:
I'm having the same problem the jachero 2.74 didnt and the touchflo force closes too but luv the look tho thanks bro nice work
[G1 Android Development] abteer:
What is this rom missing? Compcache is the only thing missing that I see and I thought it slowed Hero down anyway. This is a great full feature Hero rom. The greatest. Thank you Drizzy.
[G1 Android Development] loftystew:
My experience so far:

Rebooted twice without any warning which I first ran the rom, not sure what's wrong.

Some laggy moments (I've put too much widgets I think), but overall its fast enough for daily use (I've only tried it for 2 hours though). I can't say it's very fast like what others is saying since this is my first hero rom I've tried (and I'm interested in) but if this is fast, I wouldn't even want to think about and try how slow the other hero roms are. :D

Either way, thanks for building this rom and keep up with the good work. I look forward to your next release (who wouldn't?).
[G1 Android Development] chicojd:
Been running v2r3 for a bit now and so far it's pretty good. I'm waiting until it's been running for a few hours and then I'm going to see if I can answer a call from a dark lock screen. That's always been the problem with the Hero ROMs. By the time you even know the phone is ringing, it's off to voicemail. Has anyone had any experience with this build yet?
[G1 Android Development] nuttyCreaToR:
Exactly! It even has multi touch, which the newest JacHeroski is missing (which I read is because it is based on the cyanogen kernel).
[G1 Android Development] Brandice128:
Touchflo 3D Hero

When ever I data wipe and install, it keeps looping, why is that?
[G1 Android Development] undaboss:
I most definately agree i dont want CompCache it slows things up this is fast without it why are people complaining............ i hope that Drizzy keep up the good work, there is no need for CompCache on his future builds
[G1 Android Development] stopjockingme@gmail.com:
ding ding ding ding!! :)
[G1 Android Development] loftystew:
Oh my, there is such a problem? Didn't know that. Thanks for telling me.

Speaking of this issue, I did tried calling my own phone earlier and there's about 2 sec delay before my phone ring/vibrate. Not looking good but will give a feedback later.
[G1 Android Development] dav1boy:
personally for me its missing nothing considering what i use it for. at the same time, ive kept up with this thread since it started. and there is always people saying "well the other hero rom has this or that" without taking into consideration that a cook developes a rom a certain way pertaining to the research he has done. we would all like to have the best of both worlds but its not realistic. i for one enjoy this rom because i can use it like cupcake. thats plenty enough for me. and im still running 5 screens with widgets galore!
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
Thats been one of my pet peeves for the last 4 or 5 builds. wonder why it hasnt been looked into?

I checked phone settings and there is nothing to change as far as how many rings before going to voicemail. annoying though
[G1 Android Development] blakestimac:
anyone know how i could reinstall the stocks widget? i tried putting the widget, apk, and odex in the app_s folder, and it just sent me into a boot loop.help please?
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
i want to run this. Can anyone tell me how to remove apps2sd? or Drizzy can you make a slow_SD version of this rom like JAC does? on a stock 1 gb SD over here;)
