that's it...thanks
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
Here you go, follow this and you will be golden!

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!!

"DO NOT RUN ANY OTHER APPS TO SD IT WILL BREAK YOUR SYSTEM"

JUST EXT3 & LINUX-SWAP 32MB
[G1 Android Development] jhales:
I assume T-Mobile will update the application to support the G1 and G2 (Hero) eventually; in the meantime, you can install an older version of the app from your app backups. Version 1.2.2 works on the v2.8 ROM.
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
Back to Happier news!!

Drizzy just posted on Twitter: "running sven screens all full widgets with no lag haha I think this **** surpassed the actual hero itself haha

less than a minute ago from web"

Who is ready to flash 2.9? I'm so ready!!

Drizzy you are a Legend!! Unreal!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! :cool:
[G1 Android Development] auss4444:
Lovin This

WOOOWWW!! this build 2.8 is wayyy faster then JACHero 2.7.4r2, me lykes!!:):), THANX DRIZZY!!
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
Oh I see. To bad I don't go to the cesspool that is myspace.

But on topic.

Is there a way to get Stock.apk to work on 2.8. I push the apk & odex from the T-Mobile build rebooted the phone as normal, started the Stock app but it always force closed when I tried to add a stock (GOOG, F, MSTF, etc.)

I wish Drizzy would leave in all the widgets. That's my only complaint about the ROM.
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
2.9 ???? lets get back on track here....

2.8 is fast.. if your having any slowdowns turn the HTC Peep sync to manual... it makes a difference...
[G1 Android Development] Jeffreybcam:
dont know ifthis a stupid question but how to turn peep to manuel
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
open htc peep, hit menu button, then settings, background sync options, then where it says probably 5/15/1hour - change it to manual
[G1 Android Development] jthmz:
Wtb 2.9 pl0x
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
we prob wont get the update till tomorrow... he chillin with the family...

2.8 is good right now...
[G1 Android Development] g1junky:
i can wait 2.7 is great for me
[G1 Android Development] kidnoble:
I agree! I'm still on 2.7 as well
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
2.8 is faster than 2.7... i was using 2.7 and it kept slowing down... but 2.8 havent had a problem with it at all...
[G1 Android Development] kidnoble:
there were a few things on 2.8 that weren't working per the change log (which is now gone, or I would have told you what they were lol)

but yeah...that's why I didn't switch to 2.8
[G1 Android Development] Mikey:
The very next post that isn't related to the Rom......

INSTANT 3 day ban :)

Good Evening all​
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:

[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
What's everyone's internal memory looking like after flashing this rom and running it for a couple of hours? :confused:

I moved my cache using Move Cache for Root Users, and right now I have like 63MB free.
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
im down to 45mb free.. but its still fast and stable
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
I noticed that for some reason the Browser's cache still builds up and Browser data so I clear that every so often!
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
If you guys/gals want to move more app caches try this site: http://modmygphone.com/wiki/index.php/Caches_To_SD_Card
[G1 Android Development] :
i thought the browser cache was limited to 6mb
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
my space lost to installing apps... i didnt surf the web at all until after i moved cache
[G1 Android Development] zgmf-x322a:
flashed twice and there was no differences.......my g1 is still very laggy........i think ill wait for drizzy's newer rom then :S
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
dumb question: where do I access HTC flash from? I thought it would be built into the browser but the first post seems to suggest that I can start it by double (or single) clicking somewhere.

One more thing: This 2.1 seems to be slower than the previous one I tested. Its temporarily getting stuck even without load. While the earlier version was getting stuck only under severe load.
[G1 Android Development] mystaka:
I figured out. Looks like a re-partition of SD card is necessary.

Feel like faster than JAC's so far. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] Drizzy Drake Rogers:
r3 out now changes in changelog!
[G1 Android Development] smnnekho:
it does flash in browser, but when you doubleclick an embedded video it'll play in htc's flash player...
[G1 Android Development] CPR123:
V2 was the fastest Hero I used to date and am about to flash the v2r2 so lets see how it will go regarding speed.

Just booting up v2r2 and v2r3 is out!
[G1 Android Development] Rey-619:
Speed of the Download sucks a little bit :(

Can you change the hoster? I have to load more than 1 hour o_0 and every 30 mins is an new realeas out lol
[G1 Android Development] g2crx:
I would try again.I'm getting 684 dl speed
[G1 Android Development] Rey-619:
sure? mhhhh.... so i have to ask my dad what he is downloading lol arghh.... damn dsl 3k -.-
[G1 Android Development] syphern:
hey guys i have a question I have a Nandroid backup of my current rom if iformat my ext3 partition will my nandroid backup get erased???
[G1 Android Development] loftystew:
Hmm... I maybe wrong but isn't nandroid backup stored in FAT32 partition and you can make copy of the backup out to your computer?

Pardon a stupid question of mine. I do know that a wipe is required since 2.X is based on a new hero (well at least that what the first post stated), does it means a wipe every time a new version (e.g. 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, etc) is out?

So do I need a wipe if its like e.g. v2.1 to 2.1r1, 2.1r2?
[G1 Android Development] CPR123:
Yes, nandroid is stored on fat32 and a wipe is always recommended before flashing. I always wipe and format ext3 partition and never have any issues.
[G1 Android Development] syphern:
oh and another noob question how do i format th ext3 partition from the phone?
[G1 Android Development] loftystew:
ah... thanks. I, too, always wipe and format ext3 every time before flashing but sometime I do wonder to myself "Is all this necessary?".
[G1 Android Development] g2crx:
If you would just take 2mins and search im sure itll come up since its been posted like in every thread.

su

rm-r /system/sd/*

enter

reboot recovery
[G1 Android Development] loftystew:
I'm new to hero, this is the first build which I want to try. Another question of mine, I did a search but there no post mentioning is the swap automatically enabled or do I need to do something for the swap to work.

And, what is this swapiness thing? I use Gpart to make my linux-swap and I don't see any setting for swapiness.
[G1 Android Development] Acidnator:
Great ROM you have here, definitely the fastest Hero I've come across, might even consider using this after you get over releasing a new version every 2 hours ;)

Returning to home screen would take max 5 seconds (4 icons and calendar widget on main screen, nothing on the other screens), usually much faster. Browser was pretty fast, although I don't really like the HTC browser.

And one more thing, somewhat unrelated to this specific ROM, all the default ringtones suck, very much.
[G1 Android Development] hell4hot:
i dont know yy ppl who have little knowledge about commands and stuff act up so much, tryna tell noobs they need to research before they post, they i feels like that nunn of thier f... business, madd about pages getting filled like they own the website, , and by the way the commands are wrong

it sud be done in boot recovery

1 go to recovery by holding home and power button when phone is off

2 go to console

3 press enter and type

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

#rm -r /system/sd/*

#reboot recovery

and there you go ready to update on brand New EXT
[G1 Android Development] g2crx:
I do that in Terminal isnt it the same thing? j/w Im not saying im a pro at commands but it is posted almost in every thread.
[G1 Android Development] zole2112:
r3 rox! Fastest yet for me, was on jacHERO 2.7.4 yesterday...Love it Drizzy!!! thanks for the ROM!
[G1 Android Development] Docavelli:
I'm at 68mb. As far as i know, i just have a2sd.

I kept seeing the posts about the changing the peep settings and thought it wasnt a big deal. I finally did it and it has quickened things up. This is longest i've been surfing since I did it, so we'll see.
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
yeah the htc peep kills the memory, just like the weather.. you can see the slowdown when your using htc peep and it refreshes..
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
I only have 38MB Internal.:(
[G1 Android Development] Wolf61477:
internal memory is going down because the dalvik-cache is stored internally. ive tried to use lucid script to move it to the sd but the a2sd script on boot-up just sends its back to internal.
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
ahhh ... i thought it was the dalvik.. might have to try the old apps2sd app... wish me luck !!!
[G1 Android Development] dialdayo:
dont use HTC peep, its too slow, i reccomend twidroid, the best twitter app for the g1 by far..of course hero 2.8 is fast as hell, but after a day use getting alot of loading screens, and i find that the dialer app is real laggy, it is not as responsive as i want..i love the browser, wow its soo amazing..people try tinychat.com, its amazing to actually be in a video chatroom on your phone and see the people talking and moving at real time speed (wi-fi of course)
[G1 Android Development] kidnoble:
I think it was because android widgets weren't working...and I was thinking that the apps I install with widgets wouldn't work because they fall under "android apps"
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
If you don't come back I will avenge you. May luck be on your side.:D
[G1 Android Development] kidnoble:
oh...and I have 63mb free
[G1 Android Development] youneek:
I've been eager for a new jachero for the last few days but no luck. I know drizzy was working with jac so those of you who have tested 2.74r2, how does this compare?
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
true Twidroid is the best right now.. just wish the browser can be ported with flash capability to other roms, and the dialer, and the camera ... but 2.8 is still good..

havent tested the android widgets to see if they will still work or not... give me a minute..

***

moved the dalvik cache to sd with the old appstosd apk, it moved it fine without bootlooping...

after the move.. i had 68mb free..

rebooted the phone and back down to 43mb...

thats weird !!!!
[G1 Android Development] sacredsoul:
Its alot fasther then 2.74r2. Tried and tested. However, not completely lag free. Yet :D.
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
Patiently awaiting the results on moving Dalvik!

Keep us posted. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
gonna try and move it again.. it showed prior to the move as being moved,, then after reboot it went back to what it was before
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
it moves it to the sdcard, but then moves it back... gonna try the adb way in a few, gotta find the instructions..

***edit -

just tired this way

(DALVIK-CACHE **OPTIONAL**)

busybox cp -a /data/dalvik-cache /system/sd/dalvik-cache

busybox rm -r /data/dalvik-cache

busybox ln -s /system/sd/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache

adb shell reboot

rebooting now !!!
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
Instructions:

UPDATE

From Drizzy's Twitter:

1 minute ago from web
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
Maybe this part from the a2sd script has something to do with it.

# move apps and dalvik cache from internal memory to sdcard
for i in app app_s app-private;
do
if [ ! -d /system/sd/$i ];
then
mkdir /system/sd/$i;
fi

busybox chown 1000:1000 /system/sd/$i;
busybox chmod 771 /system/sd/$i

if [ -d /data/$i ] && [ ! -h /data/$i ];
then
busybox cp -a /data/$i/* /system/sd/$i/;
busybox rm -f /data/$i/*;
fi;
done;

Bluetooth

Has there been any progress on getting bluetooth to work, also, will the new build include the HTC kernel which has been said to help get bluetooth to work?
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
---- NO ----
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
According to Drizzy's twitter, either there's like 5 different versions coming out or a seperate one with a collaboration of Jac's twisted's and Drizzy's.

how wud i delete apps and widgets i dont use?

hii i m trying to delete twitter and some other widgets and apps can som1 plz how is it done in adb, i can find the path of apps and widgets. thanks
[G1 Android Development] jump_912:
For those who experiencing slow/lag after a while using this rom,

first of all is follow the direction and try..

if all else fail, have you try to use Advanced Task Manager to see what's running behind? If you have Mail and Twitter widget running, these could be the culprit (even if you set twitter widget to refresh manually). Everytime I close Peep and Mail process after use, the system immediately recover alot of RAM. sometime can go back to 26-28MB!
[G1 Android Development] stogchris81:
Go into terminal in your phone and type

SU (no caps)

Ls /system/sd/app_s (no caps)

It will show you all of the apks and odexes.

To remove it is rm -r /system/sd/app_s/nameofapp.apk

And Rm -r /system/sd/app_s/nameofsameapp.odex

Boom. Done.

Ps. Don't remove anything that says "provider". My G1 HATED that.
[G1 Android Development] jthmz:
Is anyone else having problems with the android picture frame widget?
[G1 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Moving dalvik doesn't hold because the boot image establishes the symlinks. Resolution is to lucid -dc -sd once. Let it build the folder. Create a userinit.sh that simply does lucid -dc -ln to reestablish a link and place in system/sd been working since the first userinit supported build by jac
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
ahhhh... thanks for that info... will try that when i flash back to 2.8 ... trying out cyan393 real quick...
[G1 Android Development] Jeffreybcam:
73 MB free
[G1 Android Development] P-Unit87:
I've been experiencing alot of lag in 2.8. Mostly everytime i click the back button or home, it will go into the t mobile screen. I tried to remove someone of the heavy widget such as Weather. No Effect! I checked setting to see internal memory dropped down to 41mb.

Man. My cat just went to sleep right on my mousepad and next to the mouse. And just before she was biting my hand.

Nice haha! I have the same keyboard .. ;)
[G1 Android Development] ThR1LL:
I was going to try this rom out coming from the newest cyan rom as my nandroid backup, but when I tried flashing this rom with wipe I am now stuck in a boot loop with the htc screen. Anybody know whats wrong?
[G1 Android Development] h0t_Sh0t:
i'm having issues to... can't get any of my own photo's in the frame...

the htc album doesn't show my pictures either..

Colorful life (picasa application) does see my own pictures..
[G1 Android Development] Dror520:
Did you wipe your ext partition?
[G1 Android Development] ThR1LL:
Lol... Forgot about that step. Thank you so much and sorry for not reading carefully enough!
[G1 Android Development] Dror520:
NP I hope it works for you!
[G1 Android Development] carlost24:
on the first page there were some instructions on how to do this what happen to them?
[G1 Android Development] h0t_Sh0t:
some of the guys in the forum noticed this to and posted it somewhere... try to look some pages back! (page 236)

for everone with the album issues :)
[G1 Android Development] ThR1LL:
I was wondering if it was possible to choose a different calender I have on my Gmail account that I share with someone. I could do this on all the G1 firmwares but I can't seem to figure out how to do it on Hero.
[G1 Android Development] Bzerk1:
i know not everyone has tmobile, but is there anyway you can port in for the hero to use myfaves into the rom?
[G1 Android Development] jf4888:
Unless someone gets a non .odex version of myfavs

they can never put it on any hero Rom
[G1 Android Development] ThR1LL:
I'm pretty sure I read on here nobody can access the protected apps but am I the only one who can't seem to use downloaded widgets on this rom?
[G1 Android Development] h0t_Sh0t:
only htc widget's work on this rom... so android widget/downloaded ones, they just don't work :)
[G1 Android Development] sacredsoul:
I actually dont mind... for the performance it offers. It's hands down the fastest ROM I have every tried. Trying to get userinit.sh working to squeeze out every last bit of speed.
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
so I see this rom and think "Hey, new version of hero, maybe this is a bit more usable" so I take it, prepare my three partitions (agains my best knowledget, mind you) and then boot... and HOLY F**K, THIS THING'S FAST.

So then I continue setting up my accounts, populating the home screens to my liking, etc. 20 minutes go by, and i'm still pleased. So then I start downloading my apps from market, getting the phone more customized to my liking, by this time about 40 minutes have gone by, and home's starting to get a little sluggish, but it's nothing I can live with. I'm still kind of happy that finally a hero build is acting decent. So in the good mood I'm at, I decide to fire up some jams, and then I start noticing that the lock screen is getting a little stubborn, also switching home screens is now a chore. I start thinking to myself "whose dumb idea was it to use the mmc as swap space without considering that the puny bus would get saturated with the constant swap writes, not to mention you better not do anything read-intesive, like, say, watching pictures, or hearing music, maybe they just flip homescreens for fun, but then again, that still taxes the mmc depending on the widgets you have up..." and the I start getting the cursed force closes, slowdowns, rosie re-loads, and all the bull that plagues ALL hero builds. 70 minutes into my "NewVision" of hero, I label it as just another hero build, nothing more, it was an exciting 20 minutes...
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Damn. Sad how some of it was kinda true. :(
[G1 Android Development] clarkee:
that's pretty much the same exprience i had, although i'm not getting rosie reloads or forcecloses, just a bit laggy still. anyway, if what we're hearing about this new tmobile rom is correct, things should look a lot better in the next 24 hours :)

From drizzy's twitter:
[G1 Android Development] loftystew:
I'm not sure should I post this here but I came across this simple script which someone (indiekid97) coded about 1 or 2 months ago which you an run it to clear all cache at once. Caches from Browser, GMail, Tunewiki, Maps, Streetview, Myspace and Market.

Like others, I experiences lag after running it and using it for a few hours and found out that my internal memory dropped from 79mb to 46mb. Like always, I ran this script using Gscript and recovered my internal memory from 46mb back to 75mb and the hero rom became responsive again (that's what I feel). It's a useful script to clear caches and help recover internal memory.

I've managed to dig up the thread (It's an old thread which didn't receive much attention) to the script: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=493830&highlight=gscript

Thought I share it with people here who doesn't know about this script and have trouble recovering some of their internal memory. I find it very useful regardless which rom I am using.

Note: I think you will have to tweak the script if you have moved the cache of an application (listed above) you wanted to clear from the default location. I didn't move my caches from the default location so I don't have to tweak it.
[G1 Android Development] h0t_Sh0t:
hmmz, script doesn't work for me...

getting a lot of no such file or directory (with every line....)

did what you said:

installed gscript

downloaded cachecleaner.sh

made script

executed script.. but nothing...

maybe the places of all the data is stored on a diffrent location??

can someone give me those locations?? i'll make a new cachecleaner.sh
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
anyone still getting loading screens, increase ur swap partition to 48mb, so half the standard G1 memory, i havent had a single loading screen with 2.8 when using this setting, and i can listen to music while browsing the web, and still get to home screen without a loading.
[G1 Android Development] h0t_Sh0t:
nice...

is it possible to change the swap partition withouth doing the whole swipe thing?

or else i'm just gonna start over with one of the 2.9 versions :D
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
you can use gparted to resize the partitions, i just resized my ext3 partition down 16mb and upped the linux-swap to 48mb
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
this fix will slow down your phone in few hours, the bigger the swap size the slower will work in the long run unfortunately:(
[G1 Android Development] :
i did this too a while a go and i noticed a significant speed increase
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
ive been running it at 48mb since 2.8 was released and its still running fast as when it was first installed
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
I am still at 32MB with 45 swappiness and running smooth as well with twitter/flip clock & weather/music (playing) and people widgets :)

EDIT:

after adding bookmarks widget and browsing this is my #free:

total used free shared buffers

Mem: 98328 96668 1660 0 76

Total: 130448 121336 9112
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
I'm at 64mbs but I'm not quite sure what the swappiness is. How do I check it and alter it.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
You should be able to change it in the a2sd script. There should be something along the lines of echo xx and that number is the swappiness
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
default swappiness is 30
