Is possible have only system.img jacxrom last i need test on kaiser build
[G1 Android Development] mr.r9:
Well then that makes this upcoming ROM perfect :)
[G1 Android Development] no6969el:
i dont know if my sdcard is dying or what but i havent isntalled or done anything new lately and it just keeps getting slower and slower... what is the FASTEST card we can get right now.. ive had it up to here (holding my hand above my head) with these slow downs.. and i seriously dont want to blame the rom ANYMORE!! it has to be the loading times reading off the card. I have a transend... is there any micro SD card shootout? Ive allready checked online and i found nothing but advertisements.... I want to buy the fastest one pronto!! and see if this is really my problem.

any info would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
[G1 Android Development] zole2112:
I've been running Jacxrom since August 6th and haven't experienced any slowdown at all. I'm using a Sandisk 8 GB Class 4 sdcard with this rom.
[G1 Android Development] lotherius:
Awesome

I know this is development, but you don't always want to hear the bad! I'd been using Cyanogen, but just wasn't happy with the overall experience and I was still having a few issues here and there. So I tried Hero... BIG MISTAKE... they say Hero is usable, but "they" have a different definition of usable than I do... 45-60seconds to go to the home screen from the browser or various other apps, running so low on resources that my music player get shut down when trying to pull up the browser, etc, completely horrid.

Then I figured, wth, I'm flashing anyway, I'll try JACxROM.. first thing I noticed - it had myfaves, without my having to drop to the shell & copy it in by hand. Then I noticed it is fast - faster than when I had Cyanogen. I was considering trying out swap, I even had the partition ready, but from reports here, swap can slow this ROM down, right? And I don't see a reason for it anyway - it is blazing fast!
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
You don't want to use swap. Compcache with backing swap will give you better performance. I posted a user.conf in this thread that has given everyone who has used it a noticable improvement in performance. I'd suggest you give that a try if you want to make this amazing ROM even faster.
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
I concur with the above statement ;)
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Seconded...
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I've created a user.conf and swap file that will allow everyone with an ext partition to use backing swap with compcache. Currently, those without a linux_swap partition are unable to use backing swap on this ROM. I am testing it now and I will post it when I'm sure everything is working ok.
[G1 Android Development] another813:
Hi, I will admit I am a total noob from the start.

Could some one walk me through on how to check if I have the right radio and spl?

This message scares me:

WARNING:You must Have The Correct Radio and Latest SPL! (RADIO MUST BE INSTALLED FIRST) You can find them here.

I just rooted my phone to the CyanogenMod and everything worked. I just think this JAC ui looks very sexy.

If someone would be so kind to pm me or explain it here it would be appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Reboot your phone and hold down the camera button. That will get you into the SPL. You can see the version of the SPL and the Radio there.
[G1 Android Development] another813:
DREA100 PVT 32b

HBOOT-0.95.0000

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

I am assuming the radio is up to date since that is what I see on the code google page, but I am not seeing the SPL?
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
The HBOOT number is the version of the SPL. You don't have the haykuro SPL. Luckily, you have a PVT board which means that you shouldn't have any problems with the SPL as long as you are on the correct radio. But there is always a risk when you flash your SPL so do so at your own risk.

Reinstall the latest radio, just to be safe. Then install the latest SPL. Follow the instructions on installing the SPL and you should be ok.
[G1 Android Development] another813:
Thanks Mike

I am now running Haykuro's spl and im on xrom thanks you ve been a great help.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
You're welcome. Try out my user.conf.

[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
What rom are you coming from and did you wipe (alt+w), and clean out your ext partition?
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
No he did not wipe his phone and ext... and of course he'd know that was his problem had he searched.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
There is nothing really that special about it. I just played with it for hours tweaking settings until I got the best performance out of it that I could. It will speed up your phone if you use it. There are plenty of testimonials in the thread.

Hey does ur headphone icon show when u connect ur headphones ? mine doesnt

i checked the framework-res...all 3 pngs are present...wierd
[G1 Android Development] kscasper13:
cool, so u messed with the virtual ram settings and what not, any change in battery life? linky?
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Honestly I don't know if it improves battery life or not. The second one I posted on here did change a vm setting but no one ever mentioned any improvement in battery life. So I have been giving the other version out to everyone. Since I don't know as much about the vm settings I figured I would put it back if it wasn't helping. My phone usage pattern is so odd that I have a hard time monitoring my battery usage.

Can anyone else provide any feedback? Did one version of my user.conf work better than the other? Does anyone want to test it for me?
[G1 Android Development] Aaron!:
I was having massive battery problems until I had the idea to try closing all my widgets. With no widgets running I got 20 hours. Now I just gotta figure out which widgets suck battery and not use them. If you're having battery troubles, as I've read a few people are, I recommend testing the ROM with no widgets and see if you get the same results.
[G1 Android Development] rgl12miami:
I'm willing to test it but I did a search and didn't find your user.conf: no links, no attachment. Where is it?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Then you searched incorrectly. Mike's posted the user.conf in this very thread at least a half dozen times. Try searching just for his posts and looking through them.
[G1 Android Development] rgl12miami:
Thanks, I found it :)

update

what up justanothercrowd... really looking forward to some new doughnut things... hope its sometime this weekend or week.. i love your rom, but i might be switching soon if nothing.... cyans got all that stuff and im itching for it.. let me know an update..

note: ive switched about 8 of my friends to your rom and they keep buggin me bout an update.. they trusted me on your stability but now them and I wish for the updates.. if its about money im sure we can gather up some money if that will motivate you more... if its not about that let us know!!
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Neone ? can someone verify plz....
[G1 Android Development] rgl12miami:
Yep... no headphone icon here either.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Aight thought so, hopefully JAC reads this n figures out whts wrong.
[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:
If your itching for it you might as well go back to cyanogen builds. JAC doesn't update every other day which is a good thing. So far there is nothing to really upgrade too, nothing substantial anyways. JAC will update when he's ready to.
[G1 Android Development] iraqmilner:
Quick question

I seem to be stuck at the XROM screen with the nifty Android. It seems to loop. Any ideas on what I should do to fix this? Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] dragonranpu:
When I installed this rom 1.3 IT was stuck on that screen for like 5 minutes and then gave me the setup screen where I touch the robot. I would just leave it to do what it is going to do.
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
Ive already got it :) Things are coming sooner than later folks. Want to make sure we keep in STABLE territory. If it takes too long you will at least get an interim refresh in a day or two.
[G1 Android Development] iraqmilner:
I wish it was that easy. I have waited now for over 30 minutes. It certainly is looping. Before I attempted to install this rom I was using Dizzy's Champion rom. Perhaps the partitions have something to do with my problem. How do I delete the partitions?

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Go into the recovery console

mount /system/sd

rm -rf /system/sd/*

Then type recovery and hit enter to get back to your recovery screen. Wipe your phone again and then reinstall your ROM. It should boot up this time.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
I agree wholeheartedly! I like not having new updates every couple of days. No offense at all to the other devs... they all do amazing work. I like enjoying my phone without having to set it up from scratch every few days.

Thanks for your work JAC. :)
[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:
Not only that but now theme developers now have something to theme that is both reliable and isn't constantly updated so should make their jobs easier! :D
[G1 Android Development] timelyne:
how do you get busybox on this ROM?

It seems to not be there when I checked the terminal.
[G1 Android Development] :
this rom is perfect (apart from the battery meter being unreadable) other than that GREAT JOB JAC AND MANUP :D
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
If you don't have busy box you probably are on the wrong spl
[G1 Android Development] timelyne:
I downloaded and installed the latest version.

Would this ROM work if i'm on the wrong spl because everything else is running fine.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Manup has a couple good ideas for improving the battery meter. I'm sure he will have something awesome in the next build.
[G1 Android Development] :
i cant wait to see what hey have in store :D:D
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
It would "work" but you could have problems with the following:

Busybox

Wifi

Gps

3g

Apps2sd

Read the first post. The hayakuro spl is required for this ROM.
[G1 Android Development] Joyrex:
After trying out all of the roms out there this is by far the best combination of speed and new features.. thanks for all of the work you put into your builds
[G1 Android Development] timelyne:
Checked my phone this is what came up.

DREA100 PVT 32B

HSPL10.95.3000

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.19.261
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
It looks like you are on the Hard SPL. You can find the one you need on the first post of this thread. You have a PVT board so you should be fine with installing it. DVT boards turn into bricks when you load the SPL on them. Reinstall the Radio first just to be safe. You will most likely need to wipe the phone and reinstall the ROM after you upgrade your SPL. So make sure you have everything backed up that you need and keep the installer where you can get it to run it after the SPL is upgraded.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Or check my sig for more info on the new SPL... it's worth the flash. Just follow the directions.
[G1 Android Development] fusionlayers:
this rom

This is by far the best rom I have put on my phone everything works. also the fact that you can choose to sign on to gmail later is the best........ I personally think all roms should have that option for people who can't afford the damn 3g internet...... Dev take notes ..... the dev of this rom you have some cash coming ur way from me..... :D:o
[G1 Android Development] timelyne:
Thanks,I got it now.It was the Hard SPL I was using.
[G1 Android Development] no6969el:
most of the roms that ive been on from here have had the skip option... its not just this one, but i agree that this is one of the best roms on xda for sure.

note: to JAC and manup and everyone else involved in updating this..I too enjoy the fact of having a stable rom and not having to update it every other day.. i just thought doughnut brought alot more than what it did.. so when it came down to it, i thought we were missing alot in this rom.. and in fact there arent to many "have to have" features... so i am very happy with this rom and look forward to the new rom whenever it comes.
[G1 Android Development] rdelsol:
nice ROM will try to download it when my android comes. thanks
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
JAC has already said that he will incorporate some crumbs from donut, so that won't be an issue. I've got a feeling we have donut's Power Widget to look forward to among other things. ;)
[G1 Android Development] terminal 7:
my faves

i love this rom more than any other and iv tried plenty !

t-mob MY FAVES however isnt presant on my phone at all !

could i have the wrong spl, surely not as busybox works fine etc'

??? how do i check my spl ?? is there a command that displays such info ???

( Thanks as always to DEVs everywhere )

.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Go to terminal, then type the following commands and hit enter after each one:

su

ls /system/app

Look for a file called MyFaves.apk. If you have r3 loaded, then you should have this and you have MyFaves. I didn't see an icon for it in the app drawer either, but it was there and I was able to remove it.

As for checking your SPL, turn off your phone, then hold the camera button and power. This will boot into the SPL, and you should see all the related info.

Post up the information, or search and compare to what you have to figure out what SPL you have.
[G1 Android Development] terminal 7:
my faves - " there it is "

Hello again,

Thank you for your kind assistance and patience,

i followed your instruction and sure enough 'my-faves.apk' is there,

i kinda stumbled upon my original root method and was able to boot into the spl and sure enough 3 skater androids confirm my spl .

thanks for helping and not shouting ' noob ' too loudly, lol.. lol...

Just flashed the xRom ... Wow the status bar looks incredible (expecially the battery icon) ... the only thing i did not like is the dail pad (looks cheap ... doesn't look as good as the rest of the theme) ... is there anyway I could just change the dail pad buttons? Can I cut and paste a dail pad I like from anohter campatible theme? thanks.

great job though Manup456 :)

Anyone Experience Slowdown After ~3 Days?

I've had this rom for about half a week now and have been experiencing some terrible lag of late, even worse than some of the Hero builds I have been on when pressing home out of browser...

It seems also more than half the time when I receive a new SMS answering with the VK there is incredible lag to the point where if I stop typing the phone keeps on typing to catch up where I left off. I've turned off the vibrate on touch function and it helps tremendously though.

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing lagging with those two situations? Actually, sometimes just scrolling between THREE screens I have set up is unresponsive.

I have:

-3 Screens (Left=Music/Wifi Toggle widget...Center=Weather/Picture Frame widget...Right=Visual VM widgit)

-Class 6 SD with 500mb ext3, 32mb Linux-swap (although I am using stock Compcache settings from rom)

Are folks out there using different Compcache settings other than what is bundled with this rom? The output shows that it is working fine. I do find this rom faster than Cyan 4.0.2 but not nearly as fast as it was when first flashed...Any help is appreciated.

-Donny
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
The default settings do not have backing swap enabled. Try the user.conf that I posted earlier in the thread and let me know if that helps you out. I've asked Manup and JAC to include it in the next build.
[G1 Android Development] mspulur:
Setup Widgets?

any settings for widgets which are:

1.to change the size of widget analog clock? it came with a smaller one but when i install it is bigger.

2.flip clock and weather, can not shift it to celcius from fahrenheit

3.change the color of calendar. it is so dark not possible to read

thanx in advance...
[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:
Yes I have experienced the vk lag as well, I use the build as is. Widgets always slow down the home screen a bit. I find the only time the home screens lag is when I get in a hurry after hitting home I try scrolling as soon as it comes up. Other than that no problem.
[G1 Android Development] jundy:

My Fav Rom

i like this rom alot, i cant wait for the next version of this, forget hero and get this!

how big should the ext be for this rom? i made mines 500mb but im starting to think im just wasting space.
[G1 Android Development] bigragu:
I flashed mine about a week ago and have not had any problems. This is the fastest and one of the best looking ROMS I've used. The only thing I see that you have different than me that might be causing the problem (and I am no expert) is the ext3 part instead of ext2. I think you only need ext3 for some of Drizzy's Hero ROMS and I think I read somewhere you need ext2 for this ROM specifically. You also don't need the linux-swap part for this ROM because it is not Hero. My suggestion would be to reformat, get rid of swap, and just have ext2 at 500MB. I have 5 screens, a bunch of widgets and no lag at all.
[G1 Android Development] sdlong92:
Thanks for the input

Unfortunately I fell asleep last night so i didnt get to try any of the suggestions out yet (just arrived at work and am on the phone answering), but i will definitely try some of the suggestions when i get home. Thanks for taking the time everyone.

ok guys for those of you that have been wanting to theme JACXROM, I have gotten a start on it, with a HUGE help from xidominicanoix.

credits also to ted for developing the advanced launcher and to irrenhaus for coming up with a simple way to push and install the launcher!

Got the launcher.apk dressed up a little bit, i just like the way the launcher for hero looks, so we got the launcher.apk from teds hero theme for cyan and worked it to work with xrom... here is the thread, but i am posting the screens here as well as the instructions. My next action is to make the "transparent rosie" changes to this now that it is working...

thread- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=551957

http://www.4shared.com/file/127696902/5be109b3/JACxROM-ted-hero-themed-Launcher.html

Installation

- Plug your USB cable into the phone and your computer

- Make a backup of your original launcher: "adb pull /system/app/Launcher.apk LauncherBAK.apk"

- Remount the /system filesystem: "adb remount"

- Unzip the launcher "JACxROM-ted-hero-themed-Launcher.zip"

- Push the launcher "adb push Launcher.apk /system/app/Launcher.apk"

- Remove the odex file "adb rm /system/app/Launcher.odex" - I DID THIS BUT IT SAYS NO SUCH DIRECTORY SO I JUST MOVED ON

- adb shell reboot.

ONCE AGAIN HUGE THANKS TO xidominicanoix FOR DOING THE WORK, I HAD THE IDEA, HE WAS THE BRAINS BEHIND IT!

[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:
Well on hero they open widgets and menu but on xrom they are probably just for show.
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
exactly. i had tried using the themed launcher from ahome and stuff, but the one arrow in the center of the bar didnt look too appealing. at least this way, it looks like rosie, but it isnt near as bloated. it is working great and is still ultra responsive.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Other themes that I have used were like that. It opens the app drawer no matter which part you click on. I'd bet that is the case for this theme.

that draw from hero

I like that draw on a hero rom as thats what hero stock roms have but when its used on a non hero rom i cant say i care for it.

something much less obtrusive is better, the original jacXrom draw i think comes from the palm pre?

is this gonna stay in the next build ? i do hope that if it does not stay - that its not replaced with a hero style draw.

[G1 Android Development] naguz:
After running the same commands as you have in this script, my phone refuses to sync contacts, it errors out instantly. Also, Star Contact and Dialer force closes when trying to open them.

Reading around, it seems this is a quite common problem, and it seems "rm -r /data/data/com.tmobile.myfaves" is the problem. Supposedly, this replaces the original android contacts database, and without any contacts db left after deleting this, anyhting trying to check the contacts db errors or FCs

Yes, I know the post I quote is old, still I would ask you to remove the line in question from your script.

As people report that "rm /system/app/MyFaves.apk" does the trick, I think it's better to stick with that.

Reflashing now, hoping to be able to resync my contacts and use my phone today. :P
