You can't use the data in myfaves without the apk. There is no point in leaving it there. Your reading around was talking about a completely different situation. Follow the steps I gave you then reboot your phone. When it comes back up manually sync your contacts. It has worked for 10 people that I know of. You must have done something wrong if it didn't work for you.

Did you reboot your phone before you tried to sync your contacts?
[G1 Android Development] naguz:
Yup, I rebooted. Once with the reboot option, and another time by turning it completely off, just to be sure. I'm going to back up before deletion this time, and give it another try before I'm off.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
+1! I really dislike the Hero launcher with the two useless arrows! Less IS more! The launcher of the present Jac Rom I really like!

I do hope the dual-arrowed Launcher will NOT make in the next Jac update... :cool:
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
That's strange. Did you just load xrom for the first time? If so, which rom were you on before that. If you didn't wipe your phone and ext partition maybe some remnants of the other ROM caused the problem. I've done it at least 10 times (I keep switching roms) and it's worked every time.
[G1 Android Development] naguz:
Been running xRom for a few days now. Wiped and formatted ext3 system beforehand, had cyanogen 4.0something before. (ctually wiped, updated SPL, wiped, and then installed).

Booting up now, we'll see.

Aaaand, same problem.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Interesting. No one has reported this problem bfore. I wonder if it was something else you had setup. You mentioned folders. Maybe something with that caused the problem because it was still being used in some way. If you remove it before doing anything else that might help. Also, ls the directory after it is deleted and make sure it is really gone.

If that doesn't work you can hit me up on gtalk and I'll help you figure it out

Miketaylor00@gmail.com
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Ok, I just tested this on my phone and it didn't hurt anything. Delete com.android.providers.contacts from the /data/data folder and delete the myfaves if it is there again. Then reboot. I think that will fix your problem.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
...and if it doesn't fix your problem, start from scratch. Delete the ext3 partition via Parted and recreate it as well.

As Mike said, many of us have done this with zero problems... you just have to manually sync the first time after removing MyFaves and it works normally again after that.
[G1 Android Development] harman2:
this rom is the best

Onlly 1 thing , flash player wennn... Please....
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
It doesn't work in cupcake-ish builds yet, to my knowledge.
[G1 Android Development] harman2:
ooohhh

any idea if will happen
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
You're asking me to predict whether we'll get flash? If I had to guess, yes. But that's like asking me if I predict it'll snow this winter. It's not a matter of if...it's simply a matter of when. As soon as it is available, the devs here will make sure it's in their builds.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Don't hold your breathe. I haven't done it but I've been told that if you do a full debian install that you can install flash from there and it will run under the android OS.
[G1 Android Development] tonymoreno23:
I am a T-mobile customer who just so happens to live in an area that does not have any local t-mobile towers.

This means i rely on a roming signal (full time.)

Therefore, as you might exspect i have never seen 3G,

i only get EDGE, and G.

Which leads me to my question,

why is it that when i flash a hero rom, i have a weak signal with spuratic instances of EDGE, but if i flash back to a 1.5 build (i.e XROM.)

i have a strong signal and a Solid edge at all times?

Now in case you're about suggest my radio and/or my SPL is incorrect.

i'd like to say that i've flashed nearly every hero rom by JAC, Drizzy, Haykuro

and have never had an issue. i have the latest radio, and Haykuro's "danger" Signed Spl.

i'd also like to mention that although XROM is my favorite 1.5 rom,

i still cannot get over the lack of sufficient battery life,

now the phone outright with stock firmware isn't any better,

but the battery life to even the most unstable hero rom

has a better battery life
[G1 Android Development] ratana412:
I still seem to be missing calls because the call waiting tone is not playing. This seems to be an issue with these custom roms where the stock sounds are removed. Can anyone help with this issue? I have put a directory on my sd card under media/ringtones with all of the resources.zip ringtones, but it does not seem to help.

Also, some strange behavior with the alarm, it is playing different ringtones than the one I have selected, seemingly at random. I have several alarms in the morning and each morning it is different, really strange.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] rberger13:
JACxROM 1.3

I am attempting to flash to this ROM. Everything seems to go as describen in other posts, but when I power up the phone, I never make it past the splash screen. Any thoughts??
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
Are you refering to the animated splash screen? If so how long are you letting it sit?
[G1 Android Development] rberger13:
JACxROM

Yes I am taling about the animated splash screen. I have let it sit over 20 mins.
[G1 Android Development] rberger13:
JACxROM

It is still "animating" like it is trying to do something, just never does.
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
oh yeah well that isnt normal. So lets see you wiped (alt+w) before you flashed the rom correct? And did you wipe your ext partition?
[G1 Android Development] rberger13:
I didnt do a wipe 1st. That was the issue. Thanks for the help
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
As far as your Edge issues, I'm not sure what to tell you. Maybe you are using a different APN? I would check that out first.

With the battery life issues, I think you will see a huge improvement when 1.4 is released. JAC is making a bunch of improvments and the battery lockscreen (which was a huge issue for Cyan ROMs) is being replaced. How is your user.conf setup? Are you using Linux-swap? When I was testing linux swap my battery died a lot faster.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
That is pretty strange. I had a similar problem with my alarm and ringtones when I added my existing ringtones that I keep on my sdcard. I had to go in and reselect all of my ringtones and alarm tones and save my settings again.

It sounds like you had some existing media on your phone too. If it was me, I would completely wipe my phone and ext partition and reinstall. Then don't add anything until you are sure things are working well. If everything is ok, start adding your apps, data, media, etc. back on the phone. 1.4 is coming out soon so you might want to take the opportunity to start fresh when it is released.
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
1.4 is posted already guys have fun. :D
[G1 Android Development] ThR1LL:
Flashing away!!!! Been waiting for this forever!
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Sorry guys this took so long but its well worth it java app included.
[G1 Android Development] zole2112:
Whats up with the 1.4 links, just got home and was happy as hell to see the update but the links don't work...
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
There most likely uploading still give it a few secs bro.
[G1 Android Development] zole2112:
Cool, thanks man! Looking forward to all of the improvements in 1.4, 1.3 was one of my favorite roms and I've flashed a lot of roms!
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
1.4 is a big step from 1.3r2...lots of new stuff.

I'm testing the HTC sourced kernels and after i run some grueling benchmarks that might make its way into xROM as well :)

A big thanks to everyones support and Manup456 for grinding this out with me this past week!

Also MikeTaylor00 for helping out so much in the thread!
[G1 Android Development] Mikey:
Im getting a 404 error trying to download
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
We are Live! Enjoy folks!
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
I haden't moved the build into the public dir yet. Its up now.
[G1 Android Development] psb07158:
Is it alright to upgrade to 1.4 without a wipe? Or are the changes so extreme that a wipe is recommended.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] android_geoff:
does this have the new browser thats been floating around or will we have to push the apk?

loved 1.3 im sure ill love 1.4
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
It's worth the wait. This build is sick!!! It looks better, performs better, and has java now.
[G1 Android Development] dincp:
Thanks, JAC and Manup for the build. Thanks, Mike for the help. You didn't know you were helping me...but I actually read/searched before asking haha.

So, is Mike's user.conf is intergrated in this 1.4 already?
[G1 Android Development] android_geoff:
wow this rom is nice

is it already overclocked to 528?

it feels faster and more responsive now

thank you
[G1 Android Development] trill12:
omg

only in hero, dude. Want flash? Add hero. No flash in cupcake. Gooddddddd
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Port it an we will add it.:cool:
[G1 Android Development] trill12:
oh, and im loving xrom. i changed the look of the launcher to

now its absolute perfection.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
It is not exactly the same as mine but really close. You need to turn on backingswap if if you have a linux-swap partition. JAC asked me to send him an updated user.conf to be included in 1.5. I'm going to work with Huanyu to make sure that everyone with an ext partition can use backing swap by using a swap file instead of a swap partition.
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
We where going to add that browser but we don't want to many custom .apk that will be updated every week or every other day,because this forces us to update the build every time they do. We also don't want a build that is updated every week and does not allow themers and people who want to build off what we have provided something stable to build off of so we took it out.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
You live in Hilo? I didn't know that.
[G1 Android Development] psb07158:
Seriously impressed with 1.4.

Great work guys, keep it up.

PS - I just went ahead and thought I'd try flashing without a wipe, worked fine.
[G1 Android Development] amd85:
are you using a different theme?

------------------------------------

By the way this rom is utterly amazing, i tried and use my 1gb stock card with 3 partition and this is flying. Smoother than the previous version. Kudos and salute made this rom a possibility.
[G1 Android Development] trill12:
nah, it was a picture hosted elsewhere. thats not my actual phone.

this is my actual phone running 1.4
[G1 Android Development] android_geoff:
is there anything i can do about the auto rotate speed

its always seemed slow to me because it fades in and out

(im talking about the normal rotate not fancy from spare parts)
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
I dunno if neone has noticed or not, but how awesome is the power widget ? AWESOME !!!
[G1 Android Development] trill12:
window transition speed in spare parts I THINK.
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
you guys have out done yourselves bigtime. the rom is silky smooth and lighting quick, and all of the little improvements to the theme itself are freaking awesome. Take a bow gents! My phone rebooted for the first time since flashing 1.3r3 about an hour before you posted this. Its nice not having to flash a new rom every day.
[G1 Android Development] trill12:
This is easily one of the best roms ive ever flashed. the speed is uncanny. Everythings so smooth.
[G1 Android Development] android_geoff:
i tried that no difference

anyone know if the rom is already overclocked?

or is it set at 384?
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Im pretty sure the auto-rotate speed is standard....i dont notice it to be slow.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Hence the reason I was almost begging JAC to include it... :)

It's amazing, isn't it?
[G1 Android Development] pychobj2001:
I think he means (like me as well) can you hack it to give you the same rotate speed when you flip open your keyboard, no animation (fade in/fade out) just pure speed....it should be a simple hack...
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
Thanks to all of XDA

I actually just flashed to a ADP1.51 i have on my SD still and the auto-rotate is the same.

XDA is such a great place isn't it? We have all these nice .apk's and customizations and everyone of them helps count towards a better Android experience.

Thanks for all the support! Manup and I have some more tricks all mapped out for the 1.5

For one..I am modifying the HTC sourced kernel after some positive first impressions to be used in 1.5.

I'm also messing with a memory hack (CC and I) that allows a little extra memory with out a modified SPL...of course this HAS to be tested stable.

There still will be no daily updates thats not the point of this ROM. We something FAST/STABLE with the latest features and it has to look good.
[G1 Android Development] zole2112:
Loving it so far, well worth the wait. Thanks for all of the work, you've definitely outdone yourselves again!
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Kinda off-topic, but I've been running a 512mb ext3 with xROM v1.3... do you guys think 256mb is a better number? I don't want to waste any... maybe I ought to go with 384mb?
[G1 Android Development] Mikey:
Manup.....scrollbars are missing ;)
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
No dis respect to any of the devs out there.... but DAMN!!!! I look at this build as a collaborative work cullminating in one HELL of an AWESOME rom!

Way to go Jac and Manup.. and all those involved. Finally a fast good looking rom i'm gonna stick with.:D
[G1 Android Development] edwinr29:
Optimun Memory Configuration???

JAC, one Question???

In your Opinion, wich Configuration option would be better???

Linux-Swap only

Compcache only

Compcache w/backing swap, or

Comcache w/Linux-Swap
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
ok so loving it, but anyway to push the old battery icon?
[G1 Android Development] Beast11:
That would be freaking awesome!
[G1 Android Development] instechgainza:
jacxrom v1.4 video

first look for the jacxrom v1.4...thanks to jac & manup456 and the all people behind this build/rom

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSbiWDqpGVg
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Has anyone found any good java apps yet?
[G1 Android Development] cephaus:
1.3r3 was faster than 1.4 in my case :/
[G1 Android Development] trill12:
Question: Why does it say monday on my lock screen. its Thursday and I have nothing on my calender
[G1 Android Development] cephaus:
woah. i have that too
[G1 Android Development] trill12:
Its even on the OPs screenie lol.
[G1 Android Development] IRIE4IPIER:
I went back a couple of pages and saw nothing about it so here is my question.

DO WE HAVE TO WIPE?
[G1 Android Development] trill12:
always wipe to be safe.

wipe.

repair file exts

wipe

flash.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Abso-freakin-amazing JAC and manup! I'm loving v1.4 despite the lockscreen issue, which I didn't issue until it was pointed out. New battery icon is excellent... signal and network icons are sweet too! Loving all the new stuff, and not sad at all to see MyFaves go. ;)

That being said, why do we have regular Music and HTC Music? Seems redundant. It's not an issue... I just rm -r the apk and com.android.music in /data/data, but just wanted to point it out.

Keep up the amazing work!
[G1 Android Development] kingskidd268:
Yes Bluetooth is working well...

Yes LED work all colors And again BT works on this build... for the 3th time in this post...
[G1 Android Development] q426669:
<3 JAC

Playing with this while waiting for the next update to Hero.

Just wanted to say a HUGE thanks to you JAC, and to the whole community!

(Sorry for taking up post space. =)
[G1 Android Development] ct25pf:
Download of the 1.1 dont start from my dream :-( but the 1.0 yes. Why??? :(
[G1 Android Development] ma2ga:
Weather Widget FC (force close)

Ne1 else having their weather widget w/ flip clock force closing.

Had a FC this am upon waking up. Besides, every thing is working flawlessly. Job well done, JAC.
[G1 Android Development] ma2ga:
Don't be fooled by the appearance... this is not a HERO Rom. This is based on 1.5R3 Cupcake style, baby.

FYI, HERO builds ported to the G1 are still plagued with the non-functional BT & LEDs.
[G1 Android Development] big nu:
T-mo apps

I was under the impression that this update would fix the issue w. T-mobile My accounts not being supported. I flashed the 1.1 and still cant access My Account app.. is anyone else having this problem?
[G1 Android Development] Gusgom:
Thanks....

This is amazing loving it....thanx.
[G1 Android Development] dohon:
Thanks kingskidd268!
[G1 Android Development] JackD3ath:
@bignu,

I think you need to push build.prop into/system.

Great work, JAC!
[G1 Android Development] Deejaydark:
T-Mobile Account on JACxROM...

Someone posted that you can push it with ADB/Terminal. Well im using the terminal cuz i dont know much about ADB but after uninstalling the app.. dl the build.prop..extract it to sdcard..pushed with terminal..reboot..installed the my account 2.0 & nothing ( phone not supported ). If someone has any idea in what there doing... will you please post what you did to get it on your phone plz.
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
I to know where is there a correct fix and it will be added to the build so people wont have to do anything to get MyAccount working. Show me by link or correct post# and ill make sure it gets added. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] nk111:
SPL

just to be sure... the "special" spl is not needed, right?
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Not really but the spl is better which are you using?.
[G1 Android Development] JAWheat411:
I get android.process.acore has stopped when selecting Submenus in Launcher. Here is Logcat where it happens
[G1 Android Development] josevtome:
This is good! Lot better for me than JACHerosky, faster, BT working, Leds working... not a Hero based rom, lack for some functionallity like social networks integrations, but nothing that a good app can't do anyway. This is a good one JAC, thanks. Haven't found anything that doesn't work by now and have been playing a lot for 5 hours or so.

Any advise for memory optimization? I have a swap partition on my sd card, but have not configured anything to use it.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Just here to post that this rom is effin awesome JAC great job. Read your twitter about 2.9 hero so ill def be making a backup of this :] one thing though the battery is dying extremely quick.. idk if its widgets or something but I went from 99 to 87 percent in 38 mins.. :/ besides that awesome job!!
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
No problem with submenus just confirmed,check your setup s.d or something your not doing correct.

The only problem I see is with MyAccount and the battery draining guick dont see it being drianed quick some people get new builds and run there phones twice as much because of testing this a fact because thats what it takes to tset more hours than normal. I have been running the build for weeks with normal day to day usage and it performs extremly well I think.

But the cpu being set to 528Mhz may be draining it a bit faster than normal.
[G1 Android Development] JAWheat411:
Not sure what you mean by setup s.d.? Is there a way to clear launcher settings to default, like delete folders and hidden apps? Maybe a bad app or folder in submenu.
[G1 Android Development] creid2352:
Looks slick and I can't wait to try it. How fast is it running? Faster than cyanogen?
[G1 Android Development] Deejaydark:
Sry 4 this but curious...

I know this is off the topic but will we see any themes for this build ? And then.. the topic about the battery... i do think also that the battery drains alot faster. Before i could test a new build & have no problems with the battery but since i installed this build my battery has drained alot quicker than before. So far i have ran into not one single FC or any other odd problems other than the battery & my account 2.0 . Im loving the speed & response :) again sorry for going off topic but im lovin your work so far and cant wait to see what else you have in the near future. Thanks for everything JAC.
[G1 Android Development] IRIE4IPIER:
Because people like me like to use the android music app instead of the laggy slow htc music app. NOW PLEASE, STOP COMPLAINING BEFORE JAC REMOVES IT, AND THAT WILL SUCK BECAUSE I'M SURE A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD PREFERE SPEED OVER SEXYNESS.
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
i havent wiped since v1. Damn thing is still flying. i dont see the need to wipe unless you flash and discover a problem. Then i wipe, and flush. ;)
[G1 Android Development] terminal 7:
mixed

Great rom in some ways but i so miss the battery icon at the standby screen, and the boot up screen from 1.3 i miss too..
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
weird i just saw that also...
[G1 Android Development] terminal 7:
monday

mine has the monday bug too,
[G1 Android Development] unthinkablehero:
c'mon people... don't be so ungrateful or negative. they work hard to deliver to us these great roms. okay, so maybe there are things that some people don't like, that doesn't give us the right to be jerks to these devs who do this stuff for us for FREE!!!! I'm not being a jerk or anything, but even so, we should be thankful that we even have people who want to develop stuff like this and give it out to the whole community for FREE!!!
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Emm my lockscreen works fine, it said thursday, n now at 1:19 am it says friday....All Good :)
[G1 Android Development] terminal 7:
yeah

of course your right.

i dont even want to seem negative, i love the rom for the most part but the small details that were in the old build shouldnt die ?

i just dont understand why theres a need to remove them, and seriously lets be honest the new bootscreen !! be honest people do you prefer it to the big android on 1,3 ?

i dont wish to go on or ill be hated and i am grateful to all DEVs i get up early every morning to follow their work.

(( hope this is viewed as constructive and not just a moan ))

peace.

Look man im not gonna go on,

the new rom is work well done, im sure you have been looking forward to a good response and i say well done on all your work. 1st class dev man.

dont want to give you any neg -especially with all the s**t you have had from some other devs lately. theres no need.

[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:
Until you can do what they do go away! If you don't like the cosmetics then do some research and change the stuff you don't like. This build fly's great work jac and manup, yes lock screen says Monday and there are no scroll bars but who cares this build is the best out by far! Screw the people who ***** there are always a few no matter how amazing the work.
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
@Ryanmo5

Thanks ;)

@all

This is the first real bug that will be fixed a.s.a.p it's being looked into now it will be fixed.
[G1 Android Development] terminal 7:
ok ok ok

look guys your absolutely right, i didnt mean any offence at all,

and theres still no other rom id use on a daily basis - it has to be Xrom.

seriously, - best work DEVs.

peace.
