As far as my experience, I couldn't tell any difference in speed vs Cyan's ROM. JACHeroSki is a Hero ROM, and nowhere near as fast as this or Cyan's ROM. The best thing for you to do is to flash and try it out for yourself.

i feel like my apps2sd isnt working....every time i install something it takes away from my internal storage anyone kno how to check for this or possibly fix it?
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
How much internal storage do you have available? Even with Apps2SD, some internal storage is used... I guess linking the apps from the SD to your phone's memory. If you have over 70mb, then Apps2SD is working.

Alternatively, go into terminal and type the following:

su

ls /system/sd

If there is an app folder, then this also tells you it's working.
[G1 Android Development] imakamasta:
yea i was thinking that even with apps2sd it would do that....and well i do have the proper folders in /system/sd/ but i only have 64internal and that goes down with every new app. idk if thats cuz i have a crap load of apps or idk lol

edit: also in /data/ i have an apps folder that has all the apks in it....is that ok?
[G1 Android Development] dincp:
I'm considering going back to an earlier version for now. This one isn't playing nice with my battery. Is there any reason I'd have to wipe when reverting, even though I'm staying with xROM? My guess is that it'll be fine, but can anyone confirm?
[G1 Android Development] imakamasta:
id imagine it should work if u just type the command fix_permissions in recovery but maybe some of the internal apps might have problems like browser but then if so just push them urself
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Yes, there should be apks in the data/app folder. I only have about 15 apps installed, and with those and after I clear my browser cache, I have about 80mb free... If you have a lot of apps, then 64mb sounds right. Also, remember that the memory is there to be used. I think that you'll be fine with a minimum of 30mb of free internal storage, so don't worry about it.

You should be fine with a simple flash to an older version of xROM without wiping. Make a nandroid backup first, so if it causes any problems, you can always restore and try a different method.
[G1 Android Development] imakamasta:
iight thx :D
[G1 Android Development] dincp:
Thanks for the replies. Went back to 1.4r1 without a hitch since it was still on my card. Then found 1.4r3 on my computer and flashed smoothly.
[G1 Android Development] lotherius:
Just flashed back to this after using a different ROM since 1.4. However, suddenly I am having data connection problems. When I booted the rom the first time, I had to skip google signin and use Wifi because it couldn't get a data connection. After being on wifi for about 30 minutes, I turned off wifi and had 2 EDGE (correct for the room I'm in). But then after rebooting the phone, my data connection is gone again. I have never had this issue before - and it persists. Doing network selection, etc, does not bring the data connection back. I also tried the wifi trick again, but on the second go, data still wasn't present after turning off wifi!

This is a serious show-stopper - anyone know why it would be doing this?
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
What SPL are you using? Did you wipe internal and/or ext before flashing?
[G1 Android Development] wbexpress:
Thanks for this, Mike...
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
You're welcome :)
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Some people have been noticing issues with the radio. JAC included the updated radio from the Donut repository and it has a few weird things going on with it. Rather than removing the donut code all together, JAC has decided to fix what needs to be fixed and then release 1.6. If it is causing you issues, I would suggest reloading 1.4r3.
[G1 Android Development] overground:
Hey I'm on xROM...

Just installed 1.5r4. No wipe flash from CM experimental. Running great. Attached is the sms/missed call counter widget with the focus/pressed color changed to match xROM. I could also change the icons to xROM, if it's that important to anyone.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Awesome! I love this widget. I'd like it if you changed the icon for widget but thanks for this anyway.
[G1 Android Development] overground:
OK...I'll try extracting the icons. It'd be much easier if Manup would just send them to me.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I just sent him a message on Gtalk asking him to do that
[G1 Android Development] overground:
Well that worked great. Shoulda done that myself. Here it is with the updated icons. Tested working.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I can't get it to install. If I push it, it doesn't show up. If I do adb install I get this:

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE]

I tried removing the original app before I dropped it in. What am I doing wrong?

Edit: I had to reinstall the original app and then unistall through the app manager. Then it installed properly with adb install.
[G1 Android Development] overground:
Well that's weird. Let me check it out. What I did:

1. Uninstalled previous version

2. Unzip file and push to sdcard

3. Install from sdcard using Astro

Try that, in that order, and get back to me.

EDIT: I see you got it working...cool.
[G1 Android Development] setzer715:
Anyone know how to reverse/undo Apps2sd?
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Very nice... I used Linda File Manager to install, and it works well. Nice replacement for the original Messaging shortcut on the homescreen.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
The easy way, remove your ext partition. The harder way, modify the a2sd file.
[G1 Android Development] lotherius:
Thanks for the info. My radio is in the SIG and I am using Danger SPL. I flashed to Cyanogen 4.0.4 as a backup and data came back (after letting my connection expire from the network), so I will hold off for version 1.6.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I guess I didn't explain it very well. It's not an updated radio really. It's just the donut code that controls the radio. There are some problems with it.
[G1 Android Development] androidfreak:
if it wasnt for xda. id suck.

With out you guys out there doing all the things I wish I could do id be no where. I have a flashed g1 with dudes rom. But know I can do more. All I need is the spl and the img recover file and update.zip right. I'm kind of a noob. But not stupid. I've flashed my wing before and have done my wii. I have even done everyones g1 I know. All flawless. I hear great things about jac. And am very excited to mess with it more. But can't wait for the moto cliq and the huawei pulse. But still very disappoited in over performance of all the devices. If my statement above is correct about what I flash with ill run it tomorrow. Pleases let me know. I'm quick to learn and wish I knew more!
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
You need the things that you listed but before you flash the SPL you need to make sure that you have the correct radio. Both the radio and the SPL are available on the first post of this thread. You need the one that ends in .26I. If you have that and the right recovery it is pretty easy to flash the SPL. There are also threads on here that walk you through step by step if you aren't comfortable.

xROM is a great ROM. 1.5 has a few minor issues with it but JAC is working diligently on 1.6 and it will be awesome. So if you do flash to 1.5 make sure you check back and get the 1.6 update as well

auto rotate.sh

Hey mike, first of all thanks for all your help with all the issues we have.

My problem:

After "cp sdcard/fix"us"rotate.sh /system/bin/" in terminal emulator i get a no go prompt saying its "read only." I know there are some commands i can enter but for the life of me cant remember what it is.

Thanks for your help..

Edit: I am running 1.5r4...
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
The mount command should work. If not try typing in this

rwsystem

If that doesn't work, let me know.
[G1 Android Development] spinjason:
Thanks bro, this is what worked..

" mount -o remount rw /system"

"cp /sdcard/fix"us"rotate.sh /system/bin/"

"Reboot"

Thanks for all your help..

WM 6.5 SYS 23409 - Arkl_ROM_v1.2 for Raphael GSM - 15.SEP.2009

I can't download these rom from ur link. It says the file in no longer in the server.

Pls help..where to i download the rom???? I have tried the v1.1 & love it. Would like to try the v1.2:mad:
[G1 Android Development] ctheory83:
Don't mind me, just a retarded guy that doesn't know how to post in the right thread.
[G1 Android Development] OFinch:
What is this? and where did you get this from?
[G1 Android Development] blueheeler:
I'm sitting her anxiously awaiting the next release :)

I've been using v1.5r since the weekend, and for the most part, I love it. Very few minor issues just like everyone else, nothing really to report.

BUT ...

I do have one request... One MAJOR request.

The notification dropdown. PLEASE consider changing the colors from that black text on gray. I'm not necessarily saying go back to the black text on white (although that's my choice), but please do something different. That is simply way too difficult to read. My eyes are killing me from trying to read all the notifications.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Calm down... he posted in the wrong forum. He's talking about a Raphael ROM, lol...

Maybe something like light grey or white text on the dark grey background?
[G1 Android Development] blueheeler:
Maybe something like light grey or white text on the dark grey background?[/QUOTE]

Yes. Absolutely yes.

I've grown to like the dark gray, and white or whiteish/gray would be great.

Thanks for the consideration.
[G1 Android Development] OFinch:
what do you mean calm down.. I was never hpyer.. it was just two legit questions being asked. Plus the guy under him said he posted in wrong thread not the guy himself unless he has two accounts.
[G1 Android Development] YPhoto:
Yes. Absolutely yes.

I've grown to like the dark gray, and white or whiteish/gray would be great.

Thanks for the consideration.[/QUOTE]

Hmm, maybe something in settings that would allow you to change the colors? I know that probably isn't possible with the way the program is written. I find the current colors better than the previous. Things like scoreboard was impossible to read in previous versions. Just thought it'd be cool to customize it via a settings page. :)
[G1 Android Development] blueheeler:
I am far from an expert on this, so I can't say for sure, but the background "color", as I've found it, isn't as simple as changing a setting. Not for this anyway. That gradiant gray color in the notification dropdown is actually a png graphic. It's built into the framework of the rom's theme. Yes, it can be changed by applying a different theme, and yes, it can be changed if you want to go in and replace the graphic(s) within framework-res.apk (it's not exactly as simple as that, there are a number of steps involved, so don't try it unless you've read up and understand what's involved). This is a limitation of Android and the way it was built. I'm sure that we will eventually see a way to easily do it, but for now, it's something best left to themers and people willing to experiment, flash, re-flash, and start over again (speaking from experience here).

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
[G1 Android Development] dills84:
My only complaint about this rom is the notification drop down menu. I dont like the rounded corners of the tab (much prefer the dark grey flat hero style). And its very difficult to read black on black text. I'd also remove the "gloss" look to the notifications. its distracting and looks slightly cheesey.

Besides that i LOVE this rom. Thanks a ton.
[G1 Android Development] overground:
I love everything about the look of this build. I know Manup has put a ton of work into all the things that make this ROM so nice to look at. He is an artist. You'll find he usually goes one of 3 ways with criticism:

1. He thinks it's a good idea and makes the changes.

2. He gets pissed off

3. He makes separate versions to try and please everyone (which is never possible).
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
That's my only quirk is the color on drop down little hard to read
[G1 Android Development] jarah:
The "Ev" icon symbolizing EDGE is very annoying, could you replace it something classic ("E" imho would be better ;) ).
[G1 Android Development] dills84:
Ev? mine says 2G... which i like better than E. Where does yours say Ev?
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
It hasn't said Ev since I think 1.3? I know 1.5 doesn't have it. So he must be running an old version.
[G1 Android Development] dills84:
Haha all 3 scenarios are understandable. I don't mean to insult, just trying to put my 2 cents in. Thats how things get better right?

As far as the theme I think its dead sexy (I do graphic design/photography for a living). I think he did a great job.

that notification tray though... just bugs me.

Maybe i oughta read into making my own theme... I think the only thing that stopped me before was figuring out how to Sign the update.zip. Oh well!
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Merry Christmas!

Let me know when you have something that compares to Manup's work.

You make something, send it to me I'll sign it and send it back. Good luck.
[G1 Android Development] dclaw_fantum:
I haven't seen it mentioned yet, so here's another bug I found:

I use headphones while at work, I also lower my ringer volume to avoid damaging my ear drums when a call comes through. When I lower the ringer volume with the headphones in, then try to turn the ringer back up after I take them out, the max volume of the ringer is very quiet. Reboot and volume is full again. I have wiped, have the correct SPL and radio. Just a minor nuisance when I try to turn the ringer back to full volume after I take out the headphones. Haven't tried turning the ringer volume up before removing the headphones yet.
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
O.k for the people who have problems with the theme like the Ev and what ever else people are complaining about which Ev was changed in my theme to 2G,make your list and send it to miketaylor and he will make sure I get it,but I know I dont get many donations for people having so many request and needs I do this for free and spend tons of hours making this stuff also I cant make evryone happy as soon as I change one thing for one person another person will ask if I can put it back. This is why I make the themes to my liking and try to make edits that people want but I cant get why people are so hard on me what did I do to anyone on this site but provide give me a brake guys.

Thanks I am doing this for me and mainly for you guys but I cant make everyone happy sorry.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Wow... I figured you and JAC were splitting donations, but I guess that might be a problem considering his other ROMs. Points well taken, and great work Manup!

Donated! :)
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Thanks bro I sent you an email,and no we dont split donations.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
De nada... replied. ;)
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Manup has made the theme for this ROM stand out from every other ROM out there. He's also made a lot of other themes that are just as good. Everyone who uses this ROM on a daily basis should dontate to both JAC and Manup. Is it not worth 5 or 10 bucks each for you to be able to take your phone places you never could have on your own? These guys work at least a part time job and get very little in return. Even if they worked this many hours at McDonalds they would still pull down about $500 a month. But they do this because they love it. So show them some love back.

Ok, off my soapbox now. If you have requests on the theme send them to me by email. I'll make a list and help Manup decide which stuff makes the cut.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
For real... I'm a poor student working on two degrees. I have zero issue with donating a beer or two to our devs, and others ought to be able to do so as well. It'll add up pretty quick if people recognize it as a way to get involved in the community.
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
I'll donate once I have a little spare cash. Raising a child is expensive work. As far as the theme goes, its very close to perfect in my eyes. Notifications can be a little hard to read at times, but everybody has commented on that already. But yea, donations coming from me to at least 3 people once I have a little spare cash :)

Keep up the amazing work peeps, the hard work is greatly appreciated :)

-=edit=- Mike.... are you hiding new tweaks? I just saw you in 14th place on benchmarkPi using xrom :) if you're beta testing 1.6 then I REALLY can't wait. If you're just experimenting with new settings again then you have to spill the beans at some point :). Also noticed some galaxy users have taken the top spot, must be a pretty quick phone

But yea, grats on such a high rank :)
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Thanks for the kind words guys and no mikedoes not have 1.6 as of yet but it is close to being done guys so with in the next few days we should have somethinh for you guys. :D

And it will be really good trust me. ;)
[G1 Android Development] blahzay_blah:
camcorder FC all the time,ALL THE TIME lol just letting it be known
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
This new stuff is going to be really new but thanks ill make sure that is working before we drop and all the other problems should be fixed.
[G1 Android Development] kaotikking:
Thanks manup!!

Imma sit here n second the motion with people and complaining bout lil graphics issues on this ROM i followed manups theme work since i got a G1 and i wont touch a ROM unless HE themed it consider it @$$ kissing if u must idc but my G1 wouldnt b the talk of my circle if it wasnt for manups work from dudes ROM to xROM and nething else manup touches we should b greatful for the dedication.:D

As for the speed on miketaylor's phone the guy tests constant tweaks id expect him to b on top with xROM speed :cool:

Also i noticed on a diff note @ne1 interested the user.conf has an option to odex ur apks i kno in the past we havent seen much of a change but i personally after testing it for 48 hours have cut 1 -2 seconds off heavy program load times. ex. HTC music, browser and such, looking for ne1 else with ne feedback on this it could just b placebo

PS: id donate if i wasnt still waiting on a settlement from workers comp :confused:
[G1 Android Development] punk107:
Outstanding ROM. Haven't had a problem with it since I started using it with 1.2.
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
I'll help test if you want. Upload your user.conf or email it to me. Csummerfield.cs@googlemail.com

If you need to know my phone stats look at my sig. I also removed the SetPriority file
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I'm working on a few things. As Manup said I don't have 1.6 yet but I do have an updated boot.img that has better BFS stuff. I'll get it all finalized and included in the 1.6 release. I need to see how it works out with the other changes that will be in the update. Expect good things from 1.6.
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
Dude... this is xrom we're talking about. Good solid build from JAC, themed by one of the best, support provided by you 25 hours a day.... how could 1.6 be anything BUT good?

Ass kissing over lol
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
It's a known issue. I think some of the Donut code that was put into the build broke it because it was the same issue for Cyanogen. JAC is working on fixing it.
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Thanks all you guys I have more coming and I will keep trying to set the bar higher its not ass kissing at all guys just with all the complaints nice words are also very well needed makes me work harder and Jac has been hard to bring you this 1.6 which will be awsome. :)

Thanks again.
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
Yea, theme is awesome, before I moved to xrom I was on cyanogen's experimental stuff, and almost immediately flashed a theme on top. Usually something dark like a hero theme, or dark hero. Hell you probably even remember me asking for xrom theme for CM lol

JAC's done a good job with the rom, your theme is very close to perfect, and with Mike's almost immediate answers, its cut down the crap in this thread such as "market got FC" "me too" "mine doesn't... wait.... it just did heeeelp" (bad example I know but you get the idea).

I think you 3 as a team are pretty solid, and not enough people say thank you. So from me, here's a huuuge thanks to everybody involved in making xROM not only a fantastic build, but also a nice friendly clutter free thread :)

And as said before, donations coming from me once I have spare cash... 7 month olds grow out of clothes pretty quick
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
I concur. Best rom and theme. nuff said. Cyan's stuff is always good too, this just happens to be more of what i want.
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
Well yea, cyanogen is usually first adding new stuff, and a lot of his work is incorporated into almost every ROM today, his stuff is consistantly good and deserves a lot of credit for what he has done. Same with stericson and jesusfreke, where would we be without their input?
[G1 Android Development] saprano614:
I decided to switch over to cyan 4.0.4 and run benchmarkPI to see what I got. I had overclocking set to 527 max and 128 min. Ran benchmark and got 14221. Switchromed back to jacxrom1.5r3 and with the same overclock setting got 12771. I personaly don't see much difference in the speed of them but yes I prefer jacxrom to any other rom out there. For both speed and looks. My only ? For jac is , is there any way to add a loading bar to the browser like the one in hero rom? I ask cause I don't know much about the development aspect so was curious.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
That sounds about right on your benchmark results. xROM is a little bit faster than CM 4.0.4.

As far as the browser goes, it would take a lot of work to add that kind of status bar. It would take heavy modification to the browser apk.
[G1 Android Development] saprano614:
thanks for the response mike. i kinda figured it would be difficult. that feature is just so helpful to see that the page is loading or if it froze. but hey i can do with out it
[G1 Android Development] overground:
For those who can't wait for 1.6...

I uploaded the xROM theme of the newest launcher...HERE

It's there if you want it, if not, pretty sure it'll be in 1.6.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
While there are things that JAC uses from Cyanogen, and he gives him credit for it, JAC doesn't just pull CM builds and polish them up a bit. A lot of times JAC starts working on things at the same time or even before Cyan does. He has been working on some things for 1.6 that I have seen no mention of anywhere else on this site. The reason why xROM is a little faster than CM is because of the tweaking he has done too his kernel. The difference is that Cyan can put a lot more time into this than JAC. JAC has a family and a job that keep him plenty busy. The fact that he gets releases out that are so stable amazes me. I'm not saying that Cyanogen isn't a busy guy too. Just that JAC has a lot on his plate. I have complete respect for both of them. They both make awesome ROMs.

I don't know if you meant to imply that or not. I'm not trying to call you out or anything. I just wanted to set the record straight in case anyone thinks that. Just because Cyanogen is able to put more time into his ROM and put things out a little faster, that doesn't mean that JAC is riding his coat tails.

Edit: Also, I forgot to mention that JAC also has the JacHeroSki and JacMyTouchSki ROMs to work on too.
