The battery icon on the lock screen had to be removed. There was a bug with it that was draining the battery. There will be a cool new one soon. I think Stericson is working on fixing it and Manup will skin it. I am happy to wait a little while for a lock screen battery if it improves battery life.

The dialer is a minor thing to not like. Manup is always coming up with cool new stuff so he'll probably change it eventually. But it's still something that you aren't going to see on any other ROM and it's smooth looking.

I disagree on the splash screen. I like the new one better. Even so, if the dialer and the splash screen are the only things you don't like you are doing pretty well.
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
agreed. i dont think anyone will ever make a theme that everyone will enjoy 100%. Unless it had bewbs all over the place. ;)
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
You know someone would complain that it wasn't full of man sausage.

The more I think about it the more I like the new splash screen. At first it looks like the cupcake splash screen and then you are like, what's that in the corner? Uh oh, someone "JAC"ed this ROM. :D
[G1 Android Development] Krazi Bluntz:
The rom is amazing great work to everyone involved in making it :) ... I don't like the dailer or lockscreen either maybe manup456 could borrow jonnybueno's dailer and lockscreen from his smorg's theme bring back the cool green battery from the 1.3 :D ... screw the Monday bug ha ... I just love the theme definietely a big reason I flashed this over cyanogen
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
When the new Java app is running, I notice my phone slow down a bit. Try killing that app and see if your phone speeds up

Getting 2nd Partition Unavailable but i have ext3 set as the 2nd partition and I repartitioned it just to be sure...
[G1 Android Development] terminal 7:
menus

loving the black gloss effect on the menus ..

lovin the generaly integrated look of all widgets, theyre all looking like they come from the same place now instead of having been added from many sources.

peace-t7

(( off to work now for 10 hrs ))
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
When do you get that error?
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
r2 didn't fix the Monday bug for me...not that I really care given the excellence of the rest of the ROM. Does it require a wipe and flash to fix that bug? I just flashed without wiping...
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
Under the settings>sd card storage> 2nd partition shows space as Unavailable. Happened in 1.3, which is why I was using 1.1 till now.
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
same here. im not planning on wiping though. I'll live with monday to avoid the el wipe-o
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Give JAC a chance to look at it before you wipe. There will need to be another update to fix the scroll bars too. Since it is not hurting anything, just sit tight until JAC posts something again.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
The other people who had that problem were not on the Haykuro SPL. Boot into your SPL and make sure it says HBOOT 1.33.2005
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
It was just a question... I don't mind removing it manually...takes about 10 seconds.

Word... not worrying about it at all. If I look at my lockscreen, it's to see the time, so it makes zero difference to me.

You need the updated SPL. Follow the link in my sig EXACTLY. That means reflash the latest radio even if you already have it loaded.
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
ahhh i see, thanks for the advice. Never flashed that SPL for this phone cuz I wasn't planning on running Hero, but i'll do it now and report back.
[G1 Android Development] dincp:
I'm unemployed. Sometimes I need to be reminded what day it is. Hah. Actually it stills says the correct day and date above it. No complaints from me. :)
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I'll have JAC make a special build for you that says "IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS, GET A JOB!!!!"

;)
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
I think you're looking in the wrong spot.

Look next to the little picture of the lock...it says Monday.

Where you're looking, just underneath the date, all of our phones are correctly reading the day and time.
[G1 Android Development] dweller88:
Major thanks to Justanotherdev and Manup for cooking up this latest Rom and theme. I can't wait to flash this evening and test it out. xRom is all I need. Cheers.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Lock Screen Shows the wrong date

JAC posted 1.4r2 earlier to fix the date on the lock screen being incorrect. However, it is still an issue on r2. Wiping the phone doesn't help. JAC has identified the cause of the issue and is working on fixing it. Just relax, enjoy the rest of this awesome ROM and he will get it fixed.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Rotation is also not functioning over here... No matter what setting I use. Have also deleted the rlid* files as mentioned in other Roms but to no avail... :confused:

This, and the missing scroll bars, are my only niggles. Other than that all is running great! :D
[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:
I take it you've tried the widget to see if its on? If not try than, also go into settings, sound and display and make sure orientation is checked.
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
Okay i fixed the "monday" bug...I had to do more than i though so im testing r3 for 24 and ill upload tomorrow as long as it goes well :)

Also added Cytowns 8.2 phone.apk and updated a few binaries
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Check, check, check, tried it all, ofcourse :rolleyes: This is the first time this has happened using a Jac Rom. Will be solved though, sure 'bout it :cool:
[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:
I figured you did but hey you never know lol. I'm not sure why you are having trouble mine works just fine.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Yes, that's the annoying part! With previous Rom's there were always people also having rotation problems and I though: come on, read and do it properly, all is working well over here!

And now it's the other way round :D And I even wiped this time, coming from 1.3 to 1.4. Maybe I'll install 1.3 again and don't wipe... It's quiet at work anyways :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] DAP420:
No your not the only one having rotation problems. I have to hit the lock button to get get it to turn screen off the unlock and then it works so IDK whats up eathier?
[G1 Android Development] ratana412:
Can we get a zip of the previous wallpapers ? I liked some of them that are now gone. Also is there any way to backup the current wallpaper and save to the SD card at the moment? thanks--

Loving the update. I too see the wrong day on the lock screen, but everything else is great.
[G1 Android Development] htcclay:
How's the speed on this build compaired to 4.0.3?How does everyone have their userinit set?
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Can't comment on 4.03, but I've tried 4.02 and I can't see a difference in speed. In this rom, we use a user.conf file to change settings for compcache.swap files, vm, cpu scaling, etc. The way comes stock, it's set up well.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Sounds cool JAC.. just a thought and may be too little too late now, but why not just remove the "Monday"? It's redundant on the lock screen anyway since the day is displayed with the date...
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Search earlier in this thread for some posts by Overcrowded. He posted up the new launcher and a zip of all of the wallpapers. Just do an "advanced search" in this thread for his username.
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
scollbars are not missing I removed them because I did not like them and how they look sorry guys if you dont like it I cant make everyone happy,but I am glad we always have the great members at xda who say good things and I even thank the ones who have nothing good to say but point out everything they dont like all day.

There is one thing I learned way back when you cant make everyone happy so guys really if you tried it and dont like it for things like scrollbars not being there find another ROM because there not coming. Oh wallpapers in launcher will be back on either the next build or the one after we used advanced launcher and the latest was made this way but will be fixed,it's already in the works.

I am testing the fix today and so far so good so just be patient and it will be up.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
I haven't commented on this, as I thought everyone would throw a fit... but when on my Excalibur, one of the first things I'd do after a flash was edit the registry to change the scroll bars from 6 pixels to 2 pixels wide. In other words, THANK YOU! ;)
[G1 Android Development] bigragu:
The best looking and fastest ROM out there. Thank you.
[G1 Android Development] DarkPontiac:
Ok i'm getting tired of having to readd my contacts to the phonebook (new ones I added since root) and having to delete doubles...

Why isn't it saving everything I put in the phone? How can i do this so that when I go from version to version my contacts are actually there and not doubled? Even deleted contacts show back up.. wtf..
[G1 Android Development] bigragu:
It syncs with your Google contacts every time you load a new ROM. Are you deleting the contacts in Google or just on your phone? If it is the latter, that would explain why they are showing up.
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
settings > Data synchonization > is contacts checked? Yes it will load your contacts when you load a rom, but if you make changes after and your contacts are not setup to sync then you lose everything that you changed since you flashed.
[G1 Android Development] slimster:
....not Overcrowded, try searching for username overground.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Thanks for the correction... I was going by memory and that was a couple weeks ago. :)
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
so this is more an issue with java and not the rom, but it may be intertwined. I installed snaptu last night and tried to get it up and running. whenever it started up i had it in landscape mode and the right half of the screen was white and the left half showed up. so i quit and ended java. put it back in portrait and opened it again, same thing except the bottom half was white. i was able to click on some stuff so i tried facebook and then the screen went all screwy. any one running into this problem?

i came from JACXROM-1.3 wiped, wiped ext, checked ext filesystems, wiped again and then flashed... and for what its worth... this ROM is amazing! speed combined with beauty. its like the ferrari of XDA.

would i rather be an apple, a blackberry, or a hero? how about none.... i would wanna be JAC'd up
[G1 Android Development] SrRaven:
Hello, im a newbie to all of this and I need help. I need a rom with qwertz layout or a faq how to do it myself. The new Touchscreen keyboard is good, but it just doesnt beat the normal hardware keyboard but not having the special letters and a qwerty layout on a german qwertz g1 is quite an annoyance.

Love the rom and hope you can help me!
[G1 Android Development] madunix:
this rom is soo much faster compared to 1.3r3, and the graphics are even better. idc what the downs are on this rom, i don't care about ne fc (which i dont have) this rom is easily the best handsdown. ty to all the devs that put their hardwork into this rom. it will not go unnoticed.
[G1 Android Development] Mikey:
The theme is great, just mentioned the scrollbars, thinking maybe you overlooked inserting the png for them??

Sorry if i hit a nerve.
[G1 Android Development] lotherius:
Want to let you know that I do appreciate this approach to the ROM. If I want certain custom things that are in development, I have the ability to add them myself. Overall I want a ROM that feels like it could have come from the factory, but just is fast and has all the features I want. Thus JACxROM 1.3 beat all the others out, and I'm looking forward to trying 1.4. I don't like the new browser that's floating around because it replaces the system browser, and to do that, it had BETTER be 100% rock solid.
[G1 Android Development] DarkPontiac:
Its not checked because when it is I then again get double contacts and ones that I deleted off my phone back on it.

How would I be able to either back up the correct contacts to the server or backup the contacts off my phone to the sd card and restore them after?
[G1 Android Development] madunix:
quick question, i'm looking for a command to check my linux swap partition. i'm not talking about "free" i wish i knew even a bit of the command but i honestly can't think of it. i used the search but all i can think of typing in the search is "check swap" and u guys can only imagine what results came up... lol anyway if no1 minds, please reply back with that cmd. ty
[G1 Android Development] porear:
Just wanted to say thanks. I have had a lot of fun playing with the Hero builds, and use Cyanogen's 4 for stability for my wife's phone, but the xROM is the one I always put back on my phone for daily use. It's beautiful, and has the right mix of features I need. And it's fast! I appreciate you guys.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Off-topic, but it IS 100% rock solid... I've been using it since the first version on xROM.

That being said, I too agree with JAC and manup's decision not to include the browser in this ROM. Things like that are very customized and frankly, if anyone wants that functionality, they should be able to do it themselves.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for but here are a few you can try: '

cat /proc/swaps

will list all swaps that are turned on

sh /system/bin/swap -s

will tell you the status of CC, Linux swap, etc.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Log into Gmail on your PC. Go to contacts and delete the duplicates, add the missing ones, etc. Then sync your phone. It is much easier to edit contacts on your pc than on your phone and you have constant backup this way.

Even if you turn off auto-sync it will still sync up when you install a new ROM. So one way or another you need to clean them up. There isn't really a good way to use contacts on this phone without using gmail contacts.
[G1 Android Development] lotherius:
First thing I notice... an "Ev" icon on my signal meter... That indicates to (me) EVDO, which is a CDMA thing. Shouldn't it read Ed instead of Ev for EDGE? When on 3g I believe it did show a correct 3g indicator.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Please post the steps that you are using. I'm going to work on coming up with an sh script that you can run that will fix this. I use an app called Benchmark Pi that screws up my autorotation all of the time. If my keyboard is open while it is on it screws it up because it can only use portriat mode. So when the phone switches it jacks it up. I want to know what you tried so that I don't give you something you have already tried.
[G1 Android Development] DarkPontiac:
Ok thanks... I at least cleaned that up and readded them on the website, but for now on if I add them to the phone, will they upload to the website as well?
[G1 Android Development] madunix:
YES! ty sh /system/bin/swap -s was the one i was looking for... ha i appreciate it. oh n mikey, that script u suggested to me before the update, u still suggest me using it with 1.4r2 or it's no longer required?
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
Okay r3 uploading now. R3 seems to be the lucky one these past two builds. Updated to 8.2 but had to leave the HTC kernel out for now. Don't worry it won't be long until i have ran it through its paces.

You should be fine without a wipe as well. Both Manup456 and MikeTaylor have testers and have confirmed the fix.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Yes, if you keep your contacts synching it will keep the website updated with your changes.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Turn on backing swap in your user.conf if you have your linux-swap partition set up. Other than that, the user.conf for 1.4.r2 is almost identical to my user.conf.
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
1.4r3 is live. No-wipe should be fine.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I have a script that will temporarily fix the auto rotate issue. It won't stop it from happening again but it will allow you to turn it back on. If anyone wants to test it for me let me know.
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Nah man your not the only person asking about scrollbars no biggie :)
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
Ah good old mike always on form, straight to the point answers almost as fast as the questions are asked, personal opinion, mike,jac and manup... perfect team :)

I'm new to xrom but I must say I'm impressed, there's no messing around, everything just works, and it is themed like manup can read my mind and deliver briliantly.... wonder if he'll do some work with Prash.... that would be cool...
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I think scroll bars are a waste of space on this phone. I'm glad you got rid of them.
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
Okay..let me know if r3 fixes the auto-rotate issue...I have a feeling its the advanced Launcher but i really like that so I'm hoping not. :) (quite a bit was re-worked for r3 so im hoping this got fixed in the process)
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
I'd be surprised if it was... I haven't experienced any auto-rotate issues on any of your builds yet.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I think it is related to the advanced launcher. It happens to me when I use specific apps that force the auto rotate to not happen. If you turn on auto rotate while you are holding your phone in landscape mode it can screw it up too. I'll post a fix. I just wanted someone else to test it before I did. It worked for me the first time.

Basically the rild files get messed up and you have to delete them. The problem is that it only works in recovery. That is why I wrote the sh script. You can boot into recovery, run it, then reboot and everything is fixed until a crappy app messes it up again.

Regarding the keyboard

First of all the black key board was awesome, unfortunately i lost it.......

when i was changing some options in locale i activated white keyboard , and now i cant get the black one back , please tell me how could i get tht back.
[G1 Android Development] thedekhoi:
Thank you JAC/Manup456 for all your hard work like always!

Has anyone tested if linux-swap makes any kind of difference on this rom? I know that JAC says its not necessary for any AOSP rom, but I was just curious if it's better to have the extra swap or not. Thanks in advance!

Anyone else getting an FC when they go into Sound & Display and click on Ringer Volume?
[G1 Android Development] kingskidd268:
I miss the new battery icon and the lock screen...
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
The battery icon is the same... and the lock screen hasn't changed aside from the "Monday" being changed to "Screen Locked"...
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Its in settings>Local & Text turn android keyboard on and turn off the touch input keyboard.
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
I did once, but can't replicate it even after several reboots. It happened to me when I changed the number of homescreens from 3 to 5, and the main screen from 2 to 3, then went to ring volume without reboot so I thought nothing of it. Not been able to replicate the fc
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Stercison posted on twitter his new lockscreen is coming this week and battery life is more important than just a visual battery that shows how fast its killing it lol...These complaints I am getting are killing me because there personal interest complaints but nothing is perfect guys,and ill keep trying to make it as perfect as possible but this theme is very close to being done. I don't see any like it well they may use parts from it ;) but you guys know what I mean. :)

Enjoy it. :cool:
[G1 Android Development] g1doobie:
No issues with the ROM and manup did an excellent job with the theme.
[G1 Android Development] louisville:
yup it worked. i cant help notice tht black key board is more responsive than the white one which i used in hero rom , i could type big sentences with just 1 or 2 errors with good speed, what changes did u do from regular android keyboard or the hero keyboard?
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
See android keyboard gets updated with there updates which is more oftten and IME keyboard is not updated as much so its a bit laggy I like the features of the IME keyboard and dont have a problem with it but as soon as they update it I will to.
[G1 Android Development] lucky 69:
just flash it !works great no problems at all ! very sweet work jac/manup456 .it looks good .nice job on the graphics !!!thanks for all your time and hard work you guys do ! :D
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I have spent hours and hours testing different settings on this ROM. Use backing swap. It will perform better, I assure you.
[G1 Android Development] zole2112:
I applied your user.conf, I believe the backing swap is enabled (1) and the linux swap is disabled (0), is the correct?
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Yes. The default for 1.4 is almost the same as my config but doesn't have backing swap on by default.

run this to make sure it's working for you:

sh /system/bin/swap -s
[G1 Android Development] rgl12miami:
Well, I am sad to see MyFaves disappear. What's the problem? I have the plan and want to have the interface as well. Those who don't have the plan, that's OK: they don't even notice that the app is there (??!!!)

Is there a way to restore it? If not, I have to say: I'm sorry, your ROM rocks but I am gonna use other ROM who has it. :confused:
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Yes, we don't even see that the app is there, but it takes up memory that some who are anal, like me, can't stand. It's actually less work for people like you to add it than it is for us to remove it. Frankly, I think ROMs should be lean... extras like MyFaves should be installed by the individual user the same way they install visual voicemail or Shazam.

Anyway, one way to restore it would to be to take JACxROM v1.3 and using IZARC, 7ZIP, or some other zip software to extract the MyFaves.apk. Just copy that onto your SD card and install the apk directly. This comes in handy whenever there are apps you want from one rom to add to another.

Or in your case, assuming you're not very adept at searching, you could just go to this link, which was one of the result when I entered "myfaves" into the search:

[G1 Android Development] djmikePeEezy:
Nice job! But what happened to the battery life percentage that used to be on the lock screen?
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
It was temporarily removed until the bug that drains your battery is resolved. It will be back soon when it is fixed.
[G1 Android Development] djmikePeEezy:
Thanks for the heads up!
