concidering the G1 has half the memory than the hero, that is the reason why its so slow, without swap, its closing everything it can which is why we get the rosie loading screen after returning from any appthe G1 hardware is very similar to the hero, not really much added to make it run on the G1. if the g1 had the same amount of memory as the hero, it would run pretty much just as fast as the real hero, if not faster with optimisation

i got tired of the touchflo screen after 3 days, my home screen got real laggy, so i just removed it and replaced it with ahome for now until 2.9 comes out..love the rom tho especially the browser, i can actually be in a video chatroom and see the videos move in the browser!

Hey guyz

I have a question and I apologize but I would go crazy reading the 100+ pages in this thread.

So, I did all the steps,

this is what it says when I power up using power + camera button.

Dream PVT 32b ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA10000)

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

Apr 20 2009, 15:30:43

It has a 5-10 second delay on everything. For example I am in settings and then press home button to return to home and it takes 5 seconds to 10 seconds to return back home.

if I try to swich slides for ex: on home screen slide left it takes 5 seconds to slide and go to next screen

is this normal or did I mess up somewhere??
[G1 Android Development] ibila:
Start by making 3 partitions.

Fat32 for all your media files.

Ext3 for you apps on your sd card.

Swap to speed the hro rom up.

Read drizzys first post.
[G1 Android Development] Khoifish321:
did you partition your SD card into 3 partitions?

That's where a lot of the smoothness comes from
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
which is faster drizzys 2.8 or jacheros 2.7.4? just wanna kno which to flash =D
[G1 Android Development] Khoifish321:
Drizzy's for sure. I had JACHero and flashed to Cyanogen after a few hours... way too laggy for every day use, but then I tried out Drizzy.. oh my god it ran as smooth as my 1.5 Cupcake

BUT just wait for 2.9, should be coming out any day, and it'll have the best of both worlds ;)
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
thanks for quick response =D. now, due to the excitement if i flash 2.8 can i flash 2.9 w/o wiping?
[G1 Android Development] Anomolystic:
Flashed 2.8 yesterday and LOVING IT :D ...patiently awaiting 2.9 from my understanding it doesn't have the T-Mobile logos and I want to keep it HTC'd out haha LOL
[G1 Android Development] nicholasbithell:
I am running the newest rom "NewVision" and I am having one problem, that I can't seem to figure out. When I leave the phone just sitting for a while like with the screen off after about 30 mins I hit the menu to turn the screen on and nothing happens, the screen just wont turn on until I hit to green call button, menu and the end button to reset it. Other than that everything is super fast and smooth and just plain great!

I am running this Rom with a class 6 4 gig

32meg Linux-Swap

and ext3 partition

Whats going wrong I have wiped and reflashed and problem still persists.
[G1 Android Development] abteer:
Nope everytime you flash a Hero rom you must wipe. Read please.
[G1 Android Development] ibila:
Best is to always format your ext3 and wipe, that will prevent bootloops.
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
thanks for responses guys sorry i didnt search first. Well i installed 2.8 and it is fast and stable, i tried hero long time back when it first was available for g1 and Drizzy definatly did a lot of good work to this rom its amazing. Thanks Drizzy ill have to buy u a beer.
[G1 Android Development] bored2nite:
and...

my stupid question for the day although i will say i read the OP twice and didn't see it in the issues.... exchange not work on this ROM?? i only ask cause it did on JACs, and it wouldn't work at all on here....

thanks in advance
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
Use search. Exchange 2007 does not work on this build. Only Exchange 2003 works.
[G1 Android Development] ChrisChavez:
How do you wipe the ext3 partition???

I was out of a phone for an entire day stuck in bootloop until I just went nuts and deleted all 3 partitions and created them again... Lol. =p

I've looked everywhere and can't find the answer... Thanks guys. =)
[G1 Android Development] limakev123:
Any1 know whats up with 2.9 will it drop tonight i have to flash a rom so bad that i went back to the latest cyan. 3.9.5 its fast and stable but i love the look of hero and i will go back as soon as 2.9 drops any1 know when???,?
[G1 Android Development] clarkee:
have you been paying no attention? we don't know when it will drop!
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
Just a quick heads up. I have been running 2.8 since it dropped and I haven't opened the keyboard at all since i flashed. I have had no loading screens and no lag whatsoever. Hope this helps the people that are having load issues/lag when using actual keyboard. One glitch that I noticed is that when midnight hits, and up until around 2 am, all my texts say from "yesterday". Anyone know if this is carrier issue or ROM issue? its not a big deal, but just kind of weird at first having to scroll to the bottom for a new text and then scroll back up to the top of the message to view the most recent message.

**anxiously awaiting 2.9**

BTW, thanks to all on here at XDA, you guys have been a huge help in my flashing/rooting/recovery experience. Keep the good things here going strong!
[G1 Android Development] ibila:
You dont wipe the ext3 partition, you format it with a partition manager on your desktop pc. Then you copy the update.zip to the fat32 partition of your sd card an put it back in your g1.

Now you restart your g1 while holding your home button.

When your in the bootscreen push alt-W.

The system reboots pretty fast so make shure you push the home button again.

Your back in the bootscreen again. Push alt-S to install the new rom.

Tada....the new rom is on your G1.
[G1 Android Development] JaboJG:
You guys are idiots.

You wipe the ext3 partition by following these instructions that are splattered through this thread about 3 dozen times:

: boot into phone terminal and enter these:

(enter)

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

(enter)

# rm -rf /system/sd/*

(enter)

Idiots.
[G1 Android Development] ibila:
You DONT wipe the ext3..you FORMAT it.

You WIPE the Internal memory of your G1.

Who is calling who idiots?
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
technically he's right, you do WIPE your ext2/ext3

and you WIPE the data of your G1

before flashing a new build of ANY HERO ROM.
[G1 Android Development] ibila:
to anyone his opinion.

To me formatting is rebuilding your partition for use from scratch.

wiping is just a deleting the data of the partition... but i might be wrong.

But i still dont see no reason to call us all idiots.
[G1 Android Development] hell4hot:
if down in recovery console, you will get a true wipe state of ext, all you have to do is mount it rw before you cud formate it, but if you on hero once you do that you wont be able to boot at this point u must flash a rom it to work.

btw i m sorry for misbehave , i was juz madd at ppl who were throwing me off last week when i as tryna find out sum stuff, sum ppl didnt even help but told me to use my brain or search or just complaining about me taking space. i was like you guys are doing the same, no helpin but wasting space complainin. hahahahaha
[G1 Android Development] Rey-619:
o_0 i have no numbers to enter my pin... wtf?

I'm very confused now! lol Whtas the problem guys?
[G1 Android Development] nuttyCreaToR:
Speed is very amazing but many sim unlock problems (including bootloops)

I must say i'm impressed by the speed of this Hero ROM. I tried Jachero (newest roms), and played around a lot with different swapiness settings and swap sizes, also with compache enabled, and the speeds of this rom are MUCH better. How is this possible if I may ask ? :)

BUT.....i read some people having problems with bootloops and usually the answer is formatting the ext3 partition (and swap partition).

I also tried this many times (and reflashing and sweeping), and figured out what is causing my bootloops: if you open up the keyboard during the SIM unlock (and maybe other actions can trigger this), it will reboot itself.

The other problem is this: the unlock SIM screen doesn't show the digits, it's blank, so you have to guess where to press to unlock your sim :) I managed to do this, and after that the rom works perfectly, but I suggest taking a look into the skinning of this screen ? And also why the rom crashes when the keyboard is opened at this moment ?

But I don't want to sound too negative because I appreciate your work a lot and this ROM is amazingly fast!!! Thanks for your great work!!!!!!!

Btw, I tried both v2.1r2 and v2.1r3, they both have these problems.

I hope the speed keeps like this, then i'm very happy, for now I will remove my sim lock :)

Hopefully until a fix for this arrives ;)

[edit] somebody just posted the same problem as I have above (invisible unlock buttons); it's a 'relief' to see i'm not the only one :) And it will probably make it easier to fix this problem too :)
[G1 Android Development] davec26:
Fantastic amazing and super fast rom thanks very much for your time and effort you have put into this well done buddy :D
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
Great work drizzy!!! Have to admit fastest rom yet!

Dont see any 3d or differences other than the wallpaper. But hell it runs FAST. That right now is the most important thing!

Keep up the good work.
[G1 Android Development] davec26:
I think its important when people say thanks as a lot of people here have no idea how much time the roms take to make also if your married the added wife hassle you get in the process lol ;)

[G1 Android Development] nuttyCreaToR:
Opening keyboard in home screen behaviour

I keep playing with this rom, and it keeps amazing me! The browser and multi zooming is very fast!

But I noticed one other minor issue: when you open up the keyboard on the home screen (or close it on this screen) the home app (touchflo) will reload itself (seems to be a little quicker than fully loading) for some time, but nothing happens. It seems horizontal layout is not working (also no auto rotate) for the home screen; also not with the keyboard closed and changing orientation of the phone.

Is this a known issue ?

Keep up the great work drizzy! I will keep on this ROM probably for a long time :)

You are da man! :D
[G1 Android Development] djdeviance:
Known issue. No rotate on home screen. Will cause force close if you slide up keyboard while on home.
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
I'm sorry to add to nonsense on the thread but DAMN this thing is FAST!!!!

I am so impressed! LUV YOU DRIZ!!! Can't wait to see some 3d action going on. But i'm sticking to this rom for a long time. (Wonder what Jac is cooking in his oven?) :D
[G1 Android Development] ibila:
Hey drizzy,

I must say i was pretty sceptic about yet another hero rom but couldnt resist flashing it. My first impression wasnt that great. The numpad to unlock my sim is showing no numbers. The weatherwidget wouldnt update my gps location. After first boot the rom felt realy slow and laggy, and was almost ready to go back to cyanogens rom with a hero theme.

But i desided to reboot my g1 just to see what it would do. Got the messed up numpad again but after unlocking the sim i almost got goosbumps of the roms speed. Have it running for two hours now. Most heros give me lag after a day use. I hope this one will stay as fast as it is now.

Thanks for this great rom.
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
Is the apps2sd auto? My internal mem seems to be going down. :o

Lock screen wallpaper ^-^

First off - the FASTEST Hero rom I have used, and I've been trying each one as they come >> ..!

But just curious, I can't seem to use any of the gallery wallpapers as my lock screen (I like to have it match my home wallpaper)...is there a wallpaper pack at all available for download? I love the wallpapers that come with this rom, MUCHO ^-^
[G1 Android Development] trill12:
is it possible to pull the lockscreen apk from maybe the jachero build and use it here?
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
I really like this rom drizzy, however can you tell which file is need to be replaced so that the album/music/weather apps can have the normal background, they all look weird with the touchflo 3d background.

Besides that excellent work! It is fast, ill go back to getting BT working :P
[G1 Android Development] Jocutz1987:
Can any body help me I'm getting this really nasty boot loop at the screen in the begging don't know y is do ing this to me I have never gotten this error on ahero buil and I just downloaded the new drizzy hero and don't know wat to do
[G1 Android Development] maxisma:
You are protected from these screens when you have a ~30 MB linux-swap partition :-)

@Drizzy:

This ROM could be even faster if you would get it managed to implent compcache ;-)
[G1 Android Development] MvP77:
WOW!! This rom is amazing! I cant believe the speed of it! Great Job!
[G1 Android Development] nuttyCreaToR:
Black magic ? :)

Since so many people are having a similiar experience as me (impressed by the incredible speed of this Hero rom), I'm really starting to wonder what black magic has been applied during the cooking of this rom ? ;) Maybe Drizzy can enlighten us ? Or is this too early to draw conclusions ?

I hope that it's not the hardware that's being pushed to the outer limits so that I will have a melting G1 soon ? ;)
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Okay look people there probably will not be a 2.9 for awhile cause drizzy and JAC are working up a new hero with a theme version I'm guessing 3d theme one slow as one compcache ect all I'm saying is don't expect a 2.9 very soon probably be JAC's 2.8
[G1 Android Development] jessie1:
Yes, I do have fat32, ext3 and linux swap, as per the original guide. Could the problem be that I am using the stock factory memory card?? and btw after a restart its a lot smoother now!

Thank you all.
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
I wasn't trying to rub anyone the wrong way, I was just throwing that in there for my own good. @r_dub- Sorry if I stepped on your toes... didn't mean to.

For what it's worth, Drizzy's twitter says an update may be coming today... MAYBE... not trying to get hopes up, and I am sure i am not the only one following him.

Either way, if JAC *or* Drizzy release an update, I will try out both.
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
This wasn't aimed at you sorry if you felt it was but drizzy ment a JAC drizzy colab was on the way it probably will be JAC'S 2.8 not reissue 2.9
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
its cool man, no hard feelings... my bad for taking it the wrong way.
[G1 Android Development] melder2011:
It does, but it's not as optimized as JAC and Drizzy have made it. It's kind of funny the way HTC made the phone have so much power to run Rosie, but they aren't even using it's full potential.

Imagine if we were running this ROM but with twice the RAM. That would be insane.
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
According to Drizzy's twitter, there is a GOOD chance of an update today.
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Yeah thats what im saying that also if you read all his tweets its gonna be a JAC drizzy colab 2.8 not a 3d 2.9

[G1 Android Development] mallman:
i dont see where you even get that from his tweets. He does mention:

JAC and I have mixed up the new 405 hero release with the tmobile hero, so this will have the greatest and latest from hero unless Maxisma

and that it is it. Not only that, he tweets AFTER that post saying it is likely that today will hold an update. I'm not I know, but i refuse to put words in his mouth either. He asks that everyone be patient and that is all he says.

Sorry if this has been asked already or I'm posting in the wrong thread. I've been able to run Nesoid, the nes emulator, no problem, until I installed Drizzy 2.8. Now, it doesn't show up in the market and if I try to download if from my Downloads, it just keeps saying download unsuccessful.

Nesoid lite, Snesoid, and Genesoid, all work fine, but not Nesoid. Does Nesoid fall into this private app category that is discussed in the first post in this thread? How would I find out if it is?
[G1 Android Development] abteer:
Lets see it won't download and you can't download private apps on this rom. Sometimes common sense isn't very abundant on this board for some reason.
[G1 Android Development] WarlockLord:
Snobbiness and stuck-up are right there with it. Did you become a senior member by kissing ass so you could give wedgies to the freshman?

Part of my question was how do I know if it's a private app. Pull your head out far enough to give me an answer to that and then I won't have to bother with another stupid question later on.
[G1 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
But we see more assholes than a proctologist. Private apps currently don;t work. The only ones that show are previous purchases (which won't download). For now the only option is to install a copy that was backed up.
[G1 Android Development] WarlockLord:
Are private apps the same as what the developer is calling DRM protected? I e-mailed the dev because I thought it was odd that the other 2 in the family work but nesoid doesn't. He asked me if my G1 was rooted and stated the app was now DRM protected and that couldn't be undone.

Apps To Sd

Hell all I have flashed this rom on my g1 and im always concerning how everyone has their apps to be installed onto the Sd Card? I read Drizzy's comment about dont run any other apps to Sd method, what does he mean. Also the rom says its already configured for the apps to be installed on to the Sd card. I tried installing an app and when I checked the phone memory it was used up.

Thanks can anyone tell me how to get Apps to Sd card work on Touchflo 3d V. 2.8
[G1 Android Development] Edible Justice:
for apps2sd to work with v2.8, you need to have an ext3 partition on your sd. the rom will automatically recognize the partition and install any new apps to your sd card. your internal phone memory is low because hero roms take up a ton of space.. (hence the benefit of having apps2sd working)

[G1 Android Development] Edible Justice:
plenty of users are noticing how their hero roms seem to be expanding. this is due to applications creating cache files. these files stay on the phone memory. as far as i know, your apps should be on the ext3 partition on your sd.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Dude shut up.. omg..
[G1 Android Development] rpmccormick:
As I understand it, apps install to the phone and are only copied to SD on bootup. Therefore, after you install new apps, you should power off the phone and restart it. Then all your apps will be moved to SD and continue to run as normal from there.
[G1 Android Development] Edible Justice:
ahh... that could explain a bit. i read that cache files were to blame in the memory drop, but a couple megs worth of cache files seemed like a ton.
