[G1 Android Development] Sirus20x6:
I have a class 6 8 gig card. I've tried all the hero builds. I've tried installing launcher, getting rid of all the widgets, stock, weather, and even the virtual keyboard, and other junk, even getting rid of the setup program (you only need it once a flash right? ;)

su
cd /system/app
rm ./*idget*
rm ./*tock*
rm ./*IME*
rm ./*osie*
rm ./*eather*
rm ./*etup*

I've played with swapper settings, tried a regular swap space in 32 64 and ~128 sizes. and it runs like GARBAGE.

Even after getting rid of all of that it's not really "laggy" anymore just using the browser force closes my im app, music doesn't play right most of the time. sometimes music stops the second i switch to another app or even the home screen. I only wanted hero for the flash browser, but even trying to watch tiny flash videos runs like a slide show. time to buy a real hero, or that sony xperia deally. mmmm 1ghz snapdragon
[G1 Android Development] DoCunnin2:
i have a question does this keep the interface of HERO unlike the Jachero 2.5 w/o rosie...that ran smooth on my 4gb card.

what difference is this rom from that jachero w/o rosie??? thanks
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
This does not keep the Hero interface (I think you are talking about Rosie). This will look like JACHero w/o Rosie. The difference is that all HTC widgets, Apps2SD, and some apps I never use have been removed (see the changelog on the first post). That way, I can flash back to this build and not have to spend another 30-45 minutes installing/removing apps and getting the phone back the way I like it.

I simply decided to share my flavor to see if anyone else had similar tastes.

:cool:

I am still working on v1.5 which will be based on JACHero 2.63 rather than SuperHerov3. I am almost there, but there are a few little goodies I wanted to throw in for good measure. Once I have them added, I will be posting that release and updating this thread accordingly.
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
Any fixes for all the random chinese characters in the build? Like on the clock app, etc.
[G1 Android Development] DoCunnin2:
ok thanks i have this rom installed completely now..i rm the messaging app and installed the one from 2.6.3 im going to see if it will add the msg notification on the icon...(i didnt install the odex not sure if this will have an effect tho) also im no longer rocking the lock screen its stupid to me.

I love the wallpaper u added...makes more since than The Jachero build thats just depressing lol
[G1 Android Development] DoCunnin2:
i uninstalled the pinyIME.apk and my asian fonts are gone :) hope this helps

rm -r /system/app/PinyIME.apk

i think piny is the name i maybe wrong just look in the applications and get correct name of file.
[G1 Android Development] mikeyman77:
Why can't someone just skin Launcher and make it look more like hero. Like some new wallpapers and change the Clock Widget to look like hero.
[G1 Android Development] DoCunnin2:
please tell me u are not using the Swapper in conjunction with linux swap.....if so thats ur lag problem.

Swap will be less effective if it uses the same source. regardless if its a different partition linux-swap(ext2 or ext3) or swapper.swp(sdcard)

u may close out an app, it will free that space but will reduce the response of a new process(home etc) because it is being fetched

New Release Posted

First post updated with new release info for PhotonMod_Hero v1.5!!
[G1 Android Development] bouyark:
I downloaded the 1.5 from the first post and attempted to install but keep getting the following error:

"E:Corrupt file:

data/app/com.weather.Weather.apk

E:Verification failed

Installation aborted"

I have wiped before trying to install twice with both times producing the same error message.
[G1 Android Development] Seeds:
try renaming the file "update" or "update.zip"
[G1 Android Development] Battman23:
Same here. Hopefully fixed soon. Looking forward to this.
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
yeah a fix would be good cuz now ive got no rom :)
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
this is not hero if its missing everything especially rosie! "I would call this the Gladiator"

a pimped out cupcake! also JAC's2.63 is ready for day to day use! :p
[G1 Android Development] G1-evolve:
No it's not.
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
so.. hero without rosie isnt hero now? ive used 2.63 slowsd, and its definitely not good for daily use. without rosie, hero is great.
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
Hero is based on the new sense and if your on slow sd than i suggest you get yourself a better sd card :p:p
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
Rosie is a home replacement and a poor one at that. And no, JAC is not ready for day to day use. Some of you guys make the silliest justifications for lack luster software.
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
yeah, the stock sd card would = slowsd thus it should work, why should i have to get a new sd card JUST for rosie, i like everything else about hero more, the facebook integration, the albums, the camera, etc.
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
Don't kid yourself. Even a class 6 card leaves much to be desired with Rosie. The G1 simply does not have adequate hardware for it. End of story.
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
doesnt drizzy work on the jac roms? why would he just come in here to basically talk crap about another rom, thats just sad
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
lol :p .........
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
Yes, 'lol' indeed. It's obvious you have nothing positive to actually contribute to the OP or this thread so please leave it.
[G1 Android Development] miko85:
I agree if jachero was guranteed to at least accept 99.9 % of text's and MMS's then id have 2.63 again right now but for everyday use the hero on g1 hasnt been proved to be a everyday ROM w/o being tempremental, i have been on hero for 3 weeks with every jac update and drizzy and anyother hero based roms, sure there cool and fun but i have missed so many girls text messages now and its really ****ing me up so thats why im on a ion based build now
[G1 Android Development] mikeyman77:
I have to agree about Hero with class 6 card. I find that slowsd version of JAC Hero is faster than using the other version with app_s on my class 6 sd card.

Also Launcher should be themed to look like Hero.
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
i just find it really sad that drizzy came in here to basically talk down this rom, its like, if it wasnt for competing roms, he wouldnt be working with JAC, etc. this forum is all about collaborations etc.
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
why do you think i am attacking this rom I just said that its not a hero if ladadadada a better name would be cupcake with sprinkles! geez folks get the facts straight

and also to say something good about this rom

here ya go

"this is a great rom I love it"

there enjoy!

mdanerd = ugh....
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
this is a greast rom! fast too!"there happy"

"keep thread on topic"
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
you came in here to say that jachero runs perfectly and that this isnt hero because it lacks the rosie home screen...
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
What? Please tell me how a home replacement makes a ROM. Hero is a very custom built HTC ROM that is very desirable. Rosie is a piss poor home replacement and I'm happy someone took the time to strip it's fat arse out.
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
I am happy also! its good that he riped out the htc music always caused lag for me...i dont mind running regular music for now!
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
this is a good hero rom! i have bee getting sms fine also! nice work Photon ;)
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
yeah, for the 3 of us who dont own mp3 players and rely on our phones for daily mp3 use as opposed to the rest of the OS that is needed daily like sms, phone, etc. how about the call i missed on JAC yesterday because the screen never showed up because it was running so slow?
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
ill see you running JAC's rom later!! :p

okay now enjoy
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
ive run alot of the jac roms, dont flatter yourself, at this rate youre making yourself look bad and probably turning people away from your rom by acting this way.
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
"please stay on topic" also im about me i do this for fun i dont mind people leaving because of what has been said!

Please stay on topic bye bye now!
[G1 Android Development] DoCunnin2:
YOUR SO COOL, im glad this rom came out. and i dont think Rosie is capable of running on the DREAM...

first it was the move of all files to SD then the linux swap. Drizzy u and Jac have a good none rosie build in 2.5 i would do the same like PhotonMedia and work from that.....ive been back and forth and when it comes down to it u dont need rosie at all. Ive said this plenty of times. Its not a matter of time NOT AT ALL....i will contiue to try the DRizzJaC builds but i will keep a Nanodroid of NON ROSIE HERO.....SENSE UI isnt all that
[G1 Android Development] DoCunnin2:
hey not sure if you said anything about having swapper in the v1 build but that v1 makes a 60mb swapfile on my sd each time
[G1 Android Development] dragon4000:
Thanks for the hard work!! It runs very smooth w/o the rosie. This is how I was wishing on running hero, w/o all the laggs.
[G1 Android Development] DoCunnin2:
i get install error com.weather.weather.apk falied verification????????????????????
[G1 Android Development] nicholasbithell:
I am getting the same error, and I have downloaded it about 3 different times! Any fix?
[G1 Android Development] c2tmdsn:
i do too..
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
I see several users having an error caused by the Weather app. Is this happening during flash? I have flashed this ROM three times now to test it.

It seems that other have had not problems flashing, but just to be clear, Anyone who has flash the new build, PhotonMod_Hero1.5, please post your success, or failures.

If this is indeed an issue, I will release another build today without the Weather app and see if it helps.
[G1 Android Development] vlcchan:
i got the weather file corrupted error too
[G1 Android Development] DoCunnin2:
I had to go back to a nano back up of v1...so it wasnt that big of a deal. i"ll try it later i think you should leave the addons out. Widgets i dont use the clock widget at all. and also use another weather widget.

Re-up v1 and take out the PinyinIME.apk thats the asian font language........ive been using it for a day.
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
yeah i luckily still had the version from earlier in the day still in my browser history so i flashed back.
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
Ok, No problem.

I will re-up the v1 without the asian language pack. I will also post a v1.6 which is completely barebones; no additional clock widget or weather app/widget.

I'll try to at least get one of these posted shortly.

In the meantime, I remind you that if you are using AppstoSD, it's a good idea to format your EXT3 partition before flashing a new ROM.
[G1 Android Development] partyzan0:
i am getting the weather error as well :(
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
Ok, First post updated with the two modified ROMS mentioned above.

And now the SuperHero_PhotonMod1 DOES NOT create a swap file. It was still doing so before but now it doesn't. This might be my favorite one at this point. The battery life seems to be a bit longer, but it may just be me.

:)

As long as these build keep working well, I may not be updating for a while. But feel free to follow me on twitter: @photonmedia
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
"**UPDATE 7/15/09**

As requested, Re-upped the SuperHero3_PhotonMod v1 without the Asian language pack. Just be sure to choose English on the first screen of the setup wizard.

http://www.mediafire.com/?l3inmmtmjzz

"

so for that, is that the same as 1.5 but without the language pack? or is it the last build from yesterday, minus language.
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
No,

If you check the first post there are more details there. SuperHero_PhotonMod V1 was an earlier build I release based on SuperHero3 release. PhotonMod_Hero1.5 is based on JacHero release.

Basically SuperHero_PhotonMod v1 is a stripped down version of SuperHero and PhotonMod_Hero1.5 is stripped down and modified JACHero 2.63.
[G1 Android Development] shingers5:
aight folks don't flame me but i am a magic user and due to the current lack of roms in our forum i have been trying g1 roms. flashed Jac 2.63 slow sd which worked very well but battery life was not so good and signal was intermittent at best!

flashed this one this morning and wow............ would love the rosie but man this thing flies even without overclock! my network signal is constant H with a few drops and everything works.

only prob is wifi and audio in calls. some of us have been trying to see if we can get wifi working and apparently there is a fix for audio in call probs. any help or suggestions would be very grateful
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
Afraid I can't help with issues using this ROM on Magic. Unfortunately I do not have one to play with. I can tell you Wifi and audio in calls is fine on G1 with this build.
[G1 Android Development] shingers5:
cheers mate was just a shout! will you release v1.5 without asian language as i find it all over even if using english! i can't stop using it mate. best rom i have used on my magic and its from another device!
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
Yes, I'm just noticing random Asian characters strewn all through PhotonMod_Hero v1. I cannot pinpoint what's causing it. It's something in the SuperHeroV3 Build mine is based on. I am looking into it.

PhotonMod_HeroV1.5 is based on JACHero and it shouldn't have the random Asian characters.
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
yeah, this, or let us know where the file is/commands to adb/terminal remove it. i got a text today, was in english, then date/time letters werent, so it was like 10:30 and instead of am, had characters, and up top for date (on text message not notification bar) had the same characters in between numbers.
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
Yes,

This is a strange one. I'll keep everyone posted when fixed.

Can you verify, is that on v1 or v1.5 (what does it say on your lockscreen?)

Actually, It looks like the first time I rebooted the phone after flashing it has corrected this issue. Can anyone else verify by powering off and turning back on?
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
reboot worked on v1, so far so good :) i may switch to 1.5 though, havent decided yet, v1 running really fast/smooth, any idea if theres a tweak that can be done on the new browser to not make it full screen? its one of my biggest hero annoyances, if you get a text, etc, you have to go back to home screen to see notification.
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
Glad you're liking it. Personally, I think v1 is my favorite at the moment.

As for the browser, I'll look into it. Not sure though.

Of course, you can hit Menu -> More -> Settings while in the browser and the Notification Bar will show back up at the top. It's a decent alternative to closing the browser.
[G1 Android Development] mdanerd:
ah, good idea, ill do that for now, it was even worse when i was on JAChero because id hit home, take awhile to even load rosie, then i could check them, and ignore all the spamming drizzy did in here, so far your rom is the best, people need to realize rosie does not = hero.
[G1 Android Development] koolmick:
I noticed on the first page that to use apps to sd it said that you need ext3...can you use apps to sd with an ext2 with this rom?...excuse me if this is a dumb question, I'm still new to this... :)
[G1 Android Development] mikeyman77:
I had a problem with weather app during flash and it said there was a verification error. I removed the weather app and resigned the file using autosign and it flashed perfectly. I also used 7zip to test the update zip file and it said there was a crc error with the weather app.

It may just be a corrupted upload file.
[G1 Android Development] Battman23:
Flashed perfectly without weather app. Works great so far. CM3.6.6 was working perfectly for me and I'll see how this stacks up.
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
I have not tested on EXT2 because that is supposedly slower. As far as I know the ROMS that these builds are based on do support EXT2 so in theory it should work. I would just go ahead and reformat that partition to EXT3, though.
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
Yes, I reposted a "light" version without the Weather app and widget.

Thanks for the heads-up.
[G1 Android Development] Battman23:
Everything works great so far. Running smooth and no loading or lag when going back to the home screen from the apps. The only thing I miss is the 5 screens available with CyanogenMod. I usually put some widgets on those extra end screens for quick weather / news / twitter checking. Would it be too tough to put the cyanogen launcher.apk into this build?
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
It's possible, but I don't want to release a whole new build for that. Especially for something that would make my build more like one that already exists. You could pull the Launcher.apk and odex files from his build and adb push them to /data/app_s/

I would backup the existing one's first since it will overwrite them.

Then just reboot the phone and see what happens.

;-)
[G1 Android Development] nabzilla1990:
how do i get HTCMusic back
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
Unzip one of the existing Hero builds that includes it and grab the HtcMusic.apk and odex files.

adb shell

rm -r /data/app_s/Music.apk

then adb push the HtcMusic.apk and odex files you extracted earlier to /data/app_s/

That should do it.

You'll notice it will lag a bit. That's a known issue with most/all builds running that Music app.
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
Feedback

To all who have flashed one of my custom ROMS.

Please provide any feedback you have.

What do you like?

What would you like to see in a future release?

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] newunit13:
When I try to use adb shell to reboot it tells me

reboot: no such tool

Other than that, fantastic rom, love everything about it :)
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
Yeah,

The SuperHero build I started with did not have that command compiled in. I never bothered trying to add it since I never really needed it.

Glad you're enjoying the ROM.

If you have any suggestions, let me know.
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
Progress

Version 1.6 is in the works.

Hope to have something new for you sometime next week.

This build will probably also incorporate some theme modifications.

I always welcome your suggestions!
[G1 Android Development] newunit13:
Awesome :-D can't wait
[G1 Android Development] bigslanki:
hey PM me i believe that when u added the camera from prior build it allowed the g1 camera button to work...im using 2.7.3 lite which im guessing will be ur base for 1.6 right?
[G1 Android Development] bigslanki:
Any developements? Or issues? Ive been over to the cyn thread they are saying compcache may b over working the phone(hot sd card,phone etc).....
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
I am running JACHeroski latest release. I want to run it for a few days before I decide to base my next version on it. Runs very fast with plain launcher. Still not sold on the HTC Music app.
[G1 Android Development] xREVOx:
please show links to validate this statement. compcache will not cause a hot sdcard.
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
Yes, Unless I'm mistaken, I thought the compcache ran from internal mem.
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
v1.6

Flashing PhotonMod_Hero1.6 as we speak. I'll be testing for a day or two and making a release the first half of the week.

Based on JACHeroski 2.7.3 with all my usual mods:

Removed AppsToSD and Swap

Removed Rosie and all HTC widgets

Switched to old Music app

Switched to Camera from Rogers build (no more sideways image)

Reverted to stock audio

I considered including the OpenGesture Home replacement, but it is still in Private Beta. If it goes public I may include it in future releases.
[G1 Android Development] eighgage:
i had a rooted cupcake on my g1 and had trouble flashing this onto my phone. while installing it had some "busybox" error while copying files over.

do you know what this is about?

one thing i noticed is that he has cpu set to max also....which is a Dead battery waiting to happen

i didnt find the thread where the sdcard was too hot to handle..but its sumwhere in there.
[G1 Android Development] bigslanki:
great! i remember you said u might do a theme with it...were using the 2.7.3lite or the Full...i like the them on the light pretty smooth.

i have the new jachero and its still lags and i have a partitioned sd card

if u really want to just use the contacts.apk and dialer.apk with the social network sync...just use the lite version...No lags

[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
Currently running the Full with no additional themework on my part. Want to make sure the software is sound before working on the theme. Also wanted to see how well Rosie worked in this build. Not really and better than before. No offense b/c it still runs better than it does on any other build I tried.
[G1 Android Development] free-sidux:
Thanks for the references :D
[G1 Android Development] xREVOx:
The heat isn't caused by the compcache. The heat is caused by the over activity of the sdcard.

compcache uses the sdcard less. any major activity to the sdcard will cause this issue. even downloading.
[G1 Android Development] bigslanki:
any update?
[G1 Android Development] drewno1:
is there any plans to apply the real hero launcher again or is this causing problems

i really like the comments with regards to this build , i also really rally like the support from the dev himself (thanks)

i will flash this and run it soon and report bk with thoughts

again ..... thanks
[G1 Android Development] photonmedia:
I'm having issues getting the latest JACHero to properly sign after modyfiny it. To verify, I took the unmodified ROM and it would not sign either (using the autosign tool I always use).

To be honest,

I am loosing interest in trying to run Hero at all on the G1. All builds seem to have issues receiving SMS reliably, and that a big deal. Not to mention that the apps that make it worthwhile (the HTC Music and Camera) are slow as hell, even when using the standard launcher.

Currently I am running the JACHero 2.73 reverted to the standard Launcher. I am using it as is with the swap partition. The HTC Music app still skips and stutters very frequently. The HTC Camera CONTINUES to have a screwed up (rotated) picture. That's why I've been reverting to an older build of those apps.

I may end up working on a customized cupcake build, and I may still work on my next Hero build. I just haven't made up my mind yet. But unless I end up getting a Magic or an actual Hero, I may be going back to software meant to be run on the G1's hardware.
