I was holding off for 2,9, but I just went ahead and flashed 2.8, after feeling left out. God, the speed... It's utterly mind shattering how fast this thing is.

I'm still not getting the protected apps error, though. I assume this means installing and running apps that I've paid for from the market, like Advanced Task Manager, for example? Or does this pertain only to buying the apps while using Hero and THEN trying to install them? I haven't gone after the latter, especially since I don't have a paid app on there I need.

I loaded up every screen with a widget and was utterly taken with how swift and well it handled. I can only imagine 2.9 after it's been optimized. If Drizzy's Twitter posts are to be believed (Always have been), then I'll fall in love again with this phone, just as I did twenty minutes ago. :D

...and since I use T-mobile, I personally don't mind the new boot screen, though I do miss my happy little Android midget greeting me with a smile. Haha.

Thanks, Drizzy. Truly.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Paid apps aren't necessarily protected apps. Some free apps like androzip are protected and therefore they reside in the app-private folder. Apps like better keyboard and advanced task although they are paid for they are not protected.
[G1 Android Development] Ajax1885:
I see, now. How interesting. thanks for the factoid there.

I swear, I learn something new every time I visit this forum.
[G1 Android Development] loftystew:
What I did is installed gscript and ran the cachecleaner script.

About no such file or directory, my guessing is you get that if you do not have the specific application like for example, tunewiki, therefore the script reported no such file or directory since you have no such cache to clear. Look carefully at the errors and you will know what I mean.

I guess the guy who created this script just hard-coded all the default location of the cache without checking whether you have the applications or not. So if you were to change the default path of the cache (like shifting cache to SD), the script won't work. Regardless, it's working fine for me (didn't shift my cache to SD) and working as intended (as in freeing up the internal memory).
[G1 Android Development] ThR1LL:
Has anyone else experienced that SnapPhotoPro doesn't seem to work properly with this app and Camera ZOOM doesn't save properly (yes, I have both bc I couldn't make up my mind lol) or am I just that big of a noob. Also does anyone know how to sync a shared google calendar on this rom bc I can't seem to figure it out how to add another calendar.
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
adb pull system/bin/a2sd <destination>

open a2sd and modify "30" @ this line: echo 30 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness;

push it back;

adb push <a2sd location> system/bin/
[G1 Android Development] trill12:
Just switched everything up.

Went to a 48MB swap. Upped swappiness to 60. Gonna report back and see how it runs.
[G1 Android Development] trill12:
moved to swappiness to 40. running pretty damn smooth.
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
What did you use to change swappiness?

I know there is a way to change it in Terminal but can't find it. Thanks! :cool:
[G1 Android Development] rock187:
wifi issues

i have the same problem like the 2.7 but before i flashed the radio for 2 times and evrithing was all right

now is not the same with 2.8..why?

the wifi turn on, found the connections.. but doest connect ..
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
is in the page before this one, you have to pull a2sd, modify it and push it back
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
Thanks Juan!

I saw that I just didn't feel like doing it that way because I'm installing windows 7 on my laptop with adb and wanted a quicker way. :cool:
[G1 Android Development] loftystew:
I think the fastest way to change and test the swappiness is just go to terminal type 'su' and then type 'echo <swappiness value> > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness'

e.g. echo 60 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

However, the setting doesn't persist if you do a reboot. It will return back to default 30 after you reboot.

I think it will be good for a quick test.
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
Thanks! That was what I was looking for. Just doing some testing.
[G1 Android Development] trill12:
definately going back to 32mb ls partition. ****s slowed down on me
[G1 Android Development] clarkee:
guess we wont be seeing this before 0000 gmt
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
Change log gone

awww change log is gone, i like reading what has changed since 2.2 =(

i would like to enjoy the latest rom...but since 2.3 and up have private apps issues..ugh..
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
You Guys Do Know that the reason for Android Widgets not working is because drizzy took out the HTCAddprogramWidget right? I always delete apps and useless things from builds and i always did this on previous builds and since i dont use android widgets i never really cared that i deleted it. But yeah Thats Literally the only reason why android widgets arent working lol. If you dont believe me go back to 2.7 for a few mins, download a app like Root Explorer (what im using its magical no need for adb pull when wanting to remove apps :D) or use good ol ADB and Remove the HTCAddProgram Widget and Odex file and tell me if you can still add Android Widgets :). Just wanted to throw that out so you guys can maybe tell drizzy or something or use ADB to push those files to 2.8 from 2.7.
[G1 Android Development] Wolf61477:
you cant push those files from 2.7..just throws you into a bootloop..think its been mentioned in this post the night 2.8 was released
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Had a Feeling you couldnt. Still dont know why he deleted them lol. But yeah just wanted to point out with the widgets wasnt working for those who didnt know.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
and i think its official to say that the flip clock for me is a HERO LAGGER. Now you know how when you first install the rom Every screen has something on it right? well i decided to test that clock. i deleted everything from those other screens and had the msg widget, flip clock, and Calender widget running only. IT WAS SLOWER!!! it must be that animation from the clock that slows everything down but i know im never using it again lol. i made the screens back to how it used to be and its back to full speed lol i really dont get it. oh well. I dont think im gonna update till LED's are fixed or if theres an INSANE performance update or something. everything i want works besides the LED's. This rom is almost too good. and apparently there are no optimizations to this from him so i can only wonder..
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
Yea I posted this about 2 nites ago and I tried pushing those 2 files from 2.7 and from the system dump that this was ported from with no luck
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
Jusy so you guys know 2.8 is based off of the T-Mobile UK build, but 2.7 is based off of the Orange build.

So if you want HTCAddProgram you would have to rip the apk & odex it from the T-Mobile UK build zip then push it to 2.8. Then it should work.
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
I tried that with no luck..anybody else get lucky with this
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
Hm. I push Footprints and Stock on 2.75 using that method without a bootloop (even though I never got Stock to work :().

Now I'm stumped buddy.

But in other news. I became a senior. :cool::cool:
[G1 Android Development] :
me too :cool::cool:
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
i believe to get the apks working on this build you will need to resign them, i was hoping to get the htc sync back in but im on a mac and dont know how to resign on a mac, if anyone can resign the apks, thats all that would need doing AFAIK
[G1 Android Development] Zarboz:
is anyone else's notification bar pulldown background white???

lame

:mad:
[G1 Android Development] Chance Ill:
ive flashed and tested EVERY HERO BUILD that has/is available. i love the UI, widgets etc...but in the end (so far in my experience) it eventually slows down for one reason or another. but im a sucker for new ROMS so im here to stay!!!!! :)
[G1 Android Development] :
yep mine is too but whats so bad about that?
[G1 Android Development] osokrayzay:
Is anyone else sitting at the comp pressing f5 waiting for 2.9 :)

I use Taskiller and check to see if any apps are running in the background when it starts feeling sluggish and usually there is and just touch to terminate.
[G1 Android Development] OFinch:
Hi

yea I am also. can someone message me on gchat that knows how to do flash'ing and re partition'ing my SD. Thanx, I just have a few questions for the person that messages me. Keep up the great work drizzy. And thanx to everyone on the forum because I am totally new to this and reading really helps out.
[G1 Android Development] :
have you tried the widget, with one tap it kills all running processes
[G1 Android Development] Dor_y:
i got the 2.7 for 3 days and it ain't slow down since i flash, still work great.

and if drizzy going to make them better and better i don't see way i need to buy the HTC hero:)

keep up with the great job lad!
[G1 Android Development] lolo2007:
when will the 2.9 version be released ?
[G1 Android Development] maxisma:
follow him on twitter.
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
I think were all following him.

Some people are just impatient! :cool:

It will be here before we know it. Great stuff Drizzy!

Can't imagine what the collaboration is going to be like!! :D
[G1 Android Development] trill12:
Runs so much better with a 32mb LS partition.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
the anticipation of 2.9 tonight its gonna be crazy.

i love 2.8!! can't wait for all these .apk to be trully optimized! and wonder if v2.9 will have the super kernel from JAC.
[G1 Android Development] imfloflo:
@HaZeKaPoNe please keep close to the thread and speak about your soft in your MP place !

This thread is about the Drizzy's rom not about Partion manager go to Q&A sub forum if you want to speak about this please.

@Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚ It was me sorry

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] HaZeKaPoNe:
i was talking about drizzys rom, if you didnt erase it you would know that i need partion to fix, my problem on the 2.7
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Certainly hope so! Been waiting and waiting all day :) Firmware Saturday haha
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
I'm I'm re-creating my swap partition atm in preparation. I made it way to big the first time.

Drizzy & Jac! This place is going to be bananas tonight!! Great work!! Thanks!

So far my only gripe is that I don't stay logged into Latitude after leaving Maps! :confused:
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
No problem.:D
[G1 Android Development] imfloflo:
I read it and you was only asking a link for partition manager so not the place to ask that on this topic.

I know it's the solution off your probleme to partition your SD card but no request like that please.
[G1 Android Development] Six6Sicks:
I agree. I've been refreshing this and Drizzy's twitter every 2.9 seconds!

My fingers hurt :(
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Why do I think we're not getting 2.9 tonight? Just a gut feeling :(
[G1 Android Development] Docavelli:
If he's still got his shortys perhaps after they go to sleep and he can have some alone time with his computer.
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
Don't believe in 2.9. Believe in me, who believes in 2.9!
[G1 Android Development] dav1boy:
i think itll be out tonight. maybe late night but tonight none the less. at the rate drizzy is goin at i dont think he wants to dissappoint his "fans" :p

let the rock star prep for the concert and enjoy the show...lol

sorry guys, boredom kills when you stuck at work on sat...
[G1 Android Development] jessie1:
Hey guys, I just finally upgraded from one of the first of the Jesusfreke builds to this build. I am liking it. however, if I upgrade to 2.9(when its released ) I would simply apply the update.zip

Will all of my settings / programs be wiped?
[G1 Android Development] carlost24:
wipe

Wipe ext2

wipe again

Repair

Apply new update

Done.

Im trying to update to this 2.8 i know wipe is alt-w but how do i repair what do i have to press? and then applyin the new update is renaming it to update an then turning on phone with home am end an alt-s right?
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
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] :
yep but if u use cyans recovery image it is all done with the trackball which makes it so much easier
[G1 Android Development] carlost24:
How do i repair? what do i press?
[G1 Android Development] ThR1LL:
If you're using cyan's recovery it should be like 1st to last choice on the bottom
[G1 Android Development] carlost24:
How about if im not using cyan's recovery what do i press to repair?
[G1 Android Development] mallman:
i am using that image and i can say that simply using the menu doesnt work for me ever. i always have to:

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

Enjoy!!
[G1 Android Development] jesterdroid:
lol! me too! :eek: hehehe im trying to be as patient as i can... suspenseful to the max here!

its the first time ive ever been excited about a thread !:D

Jester...
[G1 Android Development] :
without cyans recovery image you cant
[G1 Android Development] Abel86:
you can u have to download

http://rapidshare.com/files/86702751/Paragon_Partition_Manager_9.0_Professional_Retail-FOSI.rar

works for me....but i have cyans 1.4 though......
[G1 Android Development] carlost24:
I downloaded the cyans 1.4 an copied it to my sd card then went to terminal an wrote su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img

an it said no such file or directory what do i do?
[G1 Android Development] nnesto21:
Check out this from twisted its the clean up version of drakes 2.8

Drizzy's NewVision Touchflo 3D v2.8 is the best:D
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
Right link: http://bit.ly/XrkOd

And FYI: 2.75 is based off of 2.7 not 2.8

Edit: And TwistedUmbrella made this build, so please give him some credit.
[G1 Android Development] nnesto21:
thank you for clean roms drake
[G1 Android Development] rockertflip:
rename the file to "recovery.img" and then type in the code:

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

that should work ;D
[G1 Android Development] Six6Sicks:
I'm a little nervous since Drizzy Hasn't updated his Twitter in 23 hours.......

I'm not going to sleep until Drizzy uploads 2.9, or whatever it's gonna be called.

Putting the first pot of coffee on now.
[G1 Android Development] instechgainza:
This is the way how to flash New vision 2.8...... and lets enjoy the twistedzero v2.7 & drizzy drake new vision 2.8 while we wait the v2.9

[G1 Android Development] smartmobee:
This ROM is excilent, but it can't play video.

Also, in home screen, when you slide out the keyboard, the system is loading .... for about 2 minute ! (sorry for my english !)
[G1 Android Development] rockertflip:
Drizzy's hero looks faster that twizted's hero =\
[G1 Android Development] michael_bolton:
make sure that file is actually in the /sdcard directory and not in downloads or something like that
[G1 Android Development] kingskidd268:
It is. Twizted make me want to add over clock after 12hrs.
[G1 Android Development] trill12:
you cant open the keyboard on the home screen FOR THE 290482094TH TIME.

This rom is based off of the HTC Hero, which does not have a built-in keyboard.
[G1 Android Development] rlee008:
Sweet videos man, THANKS!!
[G1 Android Development] michael_bolton:
widget weirdness

I decided to start with a fresh CL6 16gb SD card. ext3=500mb linux swap=32, the rest fat32. phone wiped, etc. this all of course makes a huge difference in install time since there are no apps on the sd card. but here is where something strange happened.

after doing the wifi/google account setup stuff the home screen loaded for the first time, but with no widgets or shortcuts at all (or so I thought). I gave it plenty of time to sync and settle down. then I started adding the widgets and short cuts I wanted. several minutes later the default widgets and program icons that came stock with this build layered themselves ontop of my widgets and shortcuts. I could still move them around and eventually drag them all to the trash

this build runs great once all the default stuff is trashed. it just slows it down too much. who needs a second clock anyway? the bookmarks widget which is useful is also pretty heavy and made a noticeable difference when turned off
[G1 Android Development] slimm:
Wifi doesnt connect

I have done all the things needed to get this rom working... I dont think I have missed any steps... When I try and connect my wifi it loads and loads and then just disconnects... I dont think it ever connects... Drizzy has any other people had this issue? If so how do I fix it? I have searched the thread and I didnt find anything on wifi disconnecting... thanks other then that I love the roms your putting out...
[G1 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
For the love of god does anyone understand that if 2.8 is faster than 2.7 and my 2.75 is based on 2.7 then 2.8 is naturally faster. It was only meant to change some graphics and add some build.prop changes. Nothing else! 2.8 is faster but Drizzy is bogged down with work and so a lot wasn't quite finished.

Notes for those who don't read whole posts:

- 2.8 is the fastest of the builds in this thread

- 2.75 is based on 2.7 with some minor updates

- 2.9 is a working version of 2.8 with optimizations

- TwistedUmbrella is growing tired of comparing a ferari to a honda and wondering why the same results aren't achieved

- Drizzy is working his ass off and has a lot on his plate

- Please direct any further questions about 2.75 to recycle bin
[G1 Android Development] bigslanki:
IM MAD!!! lol i forgot u removed the Launcher....(WHy idk I couldnt have been the only one to use it)

Back to Cyanogen after a few hours rosie started to laGGGG very bad!!! battery has been good to me tho thats for sure.
[G1 Android Development] zole2112:
Yes!!! for the love of God, have you read anything in these forums, the Hero has no keyboard so it doesn't support landscape mode!
[G1 Android Development] Six6Sicks:
Starting to lose hope on v2.9 happening tonight :(
[G1 Android Development] OFinch:
It sounds like he has a lot on his plate. We have all been there before. But I just flashed 2.8 and it's running very smoothly. So keep up the great work drizzy! and you other Rom builders stop swagger "Rom" jackin him. :)
[G1 Android Development] Edible Justice:
same here... i was thinking about flashing the 2.8 version just for fun, but it seemed pointless when 2.9 is supposed to be right around the corner.
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
eyy guys one thing im starting to notice is that the actual hero is quite laggy itself and has its fare share of bugs, do you think that its possible that some of these roms actually run close to the performance of the actual hero when fully optimized u kno class 6 card linux swap n etc
[G1 Android Development] stopjockingme@gmail.com:
Go get a life, no offense. He is probably wif his lady and kid out enjoying the weekend because maybe his wife is tired of him on his G1 all the time. This is from personal experience of course :p

Just chill and go watch a movie or something.
[G1 Android Development] rockertflip:
LOLOLOL. well know i know. thank you for sharing ;D
[G1 Android Development] stopjockingme@gmail.com:
You played with the actual HERO phone itself? HERO roms here on xda are beta releases with a few tweaks from devs, correct me if im wrong. Its not the real deal.
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
ur wrong...the recent one drake posted is from the actual Hero device from T-mobile UK.
[G1 Android Development] mhsbrian:
I think he means the actualy real Hero phone is laggy
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
yes that is what i meant take a quick peak into the hero forum on the site....you will see what im talking about and its said in some of the reviews as well. Im just wondering could our little g1's actually be running sense better ? if thats the case i may just stick with a g1 instead of forking over money a little later in the year for a white hero
[G1 Android Development] :
kinda funny you said that my boy just borrowed my g1 and said "yo this runs way faster then hero beta"....

ohh ****!! lemme find out
[G1 Android Development] :
aight im bored with my G1 ATM lemme flash to something different until 2.9 comes out....damn exchange support dont work if you running 2007 on 2.8
[G1 Android Development] g1junky:
i was also thinking of getting a hero but now im having second thoughts...If its running better than actual hero on g1 then theres no reason to buy hero
[G1 Android Development] Edible Justice:
i think thats a testament to how great the devs are for the g1. they know the g1 better than htc knows the hero.
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
yep we have some of the best if not the best developers working on these roms...from JAC..DRIZZY...CYANOGEN...HAYKURO...SKI...and so many more. imagine what they could do with a rom built from the floor up. with all of their ideas put in from the ground up nothing ported but straight created i could only imagine how great that rom would be.

but back on topic srry guys lol a guy can dream right ? isnt that what we got one for ? lol

but yea after reading that it really started to make me wonder maybe we got the better end of the stick if these roms run better than the actual thing.
[G1 Android Development] Six6Sicks:
I was being facetious.
[G1 Android Development] devsk:
Wise choice! People never realize how much others appreciate wisdom over rash trash talk! There is strength in restraint, although I lose it sometimes too...:D
[G1 Android Development] ThR1LL:
The anticipation is killing me lol. I'm excited to see how 2.9 is going to be. I hope once Hero comes out of beta they will fix the gradual slowdown of the system. I wonder if the Hero get's as good as battery life as this ROM because the battery life on this ROM is pretty amazing. Props to Drizzy!
[G1 Android Development] jamizzal:
thats pretty hard to judge doesnt tha hero have a larger capacity battery ?
[G1 Android Development] rock187:
sms bug

on 2.8 the landscape doesnt work in message.. im the only one??
[G1 Android Development] jdubzisfaded:
Im quite sure that when he mentioned our G1 builds were as

fast/stable as the Hero device itself he had a tone of exaggeration.

From a technical standpoint the G1 could run alongside the hero unless

the difference in RAM is substantial enough to cause the G1 to be slower.

I feel for the most part that the reason we have not caught up to the Hero

device is due to the workarounds that enable the ROM to run on G1's

cause more processes thus slowing the phone down. With that said I

would believe that within the next month or two with enough optimization,

kernel swapping, and general ROM cooking we can have this thing just

as snappy as a cyanogen build!

reply to last two posters:

Landscape mode only works in messaging with keyboard open. This is because the use of the new tmobile ROM release

The Hero has a 1350maH and the G1 is 1150maH so quite a noticeable if you look at it by ratio
[G1 Android Development] lilwing:
this must be what a crack head feels like when he has no crack :|

drizzys the best rapper in the game by the way

keep doin your thing...cant wait for 2.9 man
