So there is no need for the cache partition as it should be empty, but how about the misc partition. What exactly is there?

And I could actually make a "custom rom" using the update.zip? Extract the .img files and edit the files I want and so on and just make an update.zip?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthias1711:
I love the hardware of my X1 but I hate the User Interface. I need an User interface with bigger fonts, a sexy look, highspeed reactions and with short ways to the functions.

I´m not sure but I think the first step should be a ROM with WM 6.5. But I´m absolute unsure which ROM. There are so many ROM´s in the ROM development area.

I would like to get some recommendations for the best fitting ROM. I need only the phone function, contacts, calender, mp3 player and the mobipocket reader.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laurence0609:
There are so many ROMs here that will probably suites your taste but you will have to check which one will really fit your needs. For starter, before you flash any ROMs, you need to read this thread 1st http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=431218 and or this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=445662. Then you're ready to flash your 1st ROM. I suggest you try the ROMs cooked by Agent_47, NRGZ, jackleung, smaberg and itje. You will see the big difference once you start flashing new ROMs. Have fun!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bharat4ever:
I would recommend gtrab's xpert or pure roms if you want only the 6.5 interface. If you want a smooth running touchflo interface with 6.5, then i would recommend the energy roms from NRGZ28. The rom usage rarely crosses 50%, and this is the only touchflo rom with which my coreplayer videos play without stuttering.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DopyG:
Hey dear Xda-developers :)

I know its a noob question, but can anyone here tell me what "linux-swap" partition is?

Does it make your phone more fast?

I noticed it is required for some ROM's...

I kinda figured out it has something to do with "RAM"... Is it optimizing for the HTC Magic 32a?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] st0kes:
It's a kind of file system used only for paging memory to disk, much in the same way that Windows uses a swap file (usually C:\pagefile.sys) for paging memory to disk when the system required more RAM than is available.

A lot (most) ROMs expect to find a swap partition on the memory card. It's used to 'virtually' increase the amount of memory available, mostly to overcome the shortfalls of the 32B board Magic (google branded) which only has 192Mb of physical memory.

The HTC Magic 32a (and HTC Hero) has 288Mb of memory so the swap partition is less important ... as it can run HTC Sense UI without lagging like the 32B Magic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] The Reverend Gridlock:
Android kills programs in the background when ram is low so a swap file or partion on your card gives it extra space on your phone so it does not kill the program and have to reload, I.e like your browser constantly reloading the page, which was a serious annoyance before swap came out....... but beware cause swap will cause acclerated wear on your sdcard but since sdcard are cheap, it is not really that big of an issuse

[G1 General] arbab01:
i have been using the htc g1 for several months now and have noticed that its performance is not as good as it used 2 be. by this i mean the interface is very slow now and in performing small tasks it tends to lag frequently. my phone is updated to cupcake 1.5. i am wondering if any if you can suggest ways to improve the functionality of my phone for example, by installing a different firmware. i have tried deleting several of my apps from the market but that only improved the situation slightly. thanks
[G1 General] jairomeo:
Do you have root? if so,then just upgrade to Cyanogen's latest build his are much faster then the stock firmware. Also, rather then randomly deleting apps, have you tried any of the task managers? There are apps that run constantly in the background, enough of them at once will slow your phone down big time. Do you have a lot of widgets, apps or folders on your home screen? Too many and it bogs down your home screen.
[G1 General] arbab01:
yes i do have a task manager and i only seems to help slight. i do have apps on my home screen but not so much only about 3 pages worth and i think the phone should be able to handle that. my phone is not rooted. how do i get the firmware u are talking about. more info would be great.
[G1 General] shaolinx:
A fresh wipe would make it VERY fast. Uninstalling apps and such from stock firmware doesn't really help... well, it didnt atleast for me
[G1 General] brian_v3ntura:

[G1 General] AdrianK:
What cache are you talking about?
[G1 General] crpercodani:
Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications

Goto each one on the list and it will have a button that says Clear Cache and Clear Data. Tap both of those and after doing them all you should be fine. It might take awhile to do them all but it will fix your problem.

My Hero doesnt detect the HTC sync on my Vista. I have never been able to sync with PC. I dont want to sync with PC as sync everything with google. But I need to sync with HTC sync for ROM upgrade. I have tried everything. I tried disablling the antivirus and firewall, put the program on teh Firewall exception list but nothing happnes. says that phone cannot detect HTC sync on computer. I hav downloaded the latest HTC sync from the HTC site. Any suggestions?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NotSoSmart:
Hi all,

This is a little hello from me to you all. Like you all I've had problems with HTC Sync, unable to connect my HTC Hero, which I've only had for three weeks, but it seemly like a long time due to the problems I've had with HTC Sync and time I spend getting it to work with Outlook... :D

Anyway, I've read a lot of information here and externally i.e. google.com searches. I'm glad to say I've managed to HTC Sync to work..:D:p:D

This is what I did....Oh! I have a Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit, I GUESS this might work with any other installation of Windows, but not sure about Windows 7. If this works, please post here so people have one place to go to find the answer.... cheers.... and good luck! :eek:

1) Downloaded Andriod SDK, this was to allow debug USB connection. You can find it here.. http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r05-windows.zip

2) Downloaded HTC sync version 2.0.33 (http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=283&cat=3&dl_id=933)

3) As I use my Ipod to sync music, I found Apple also installed Mobile device software, I uninstalled this.

4) Reviewed all software that related to USB and mobile devices and there were a few.... :) including my trusty HTC Diamond..., UN-installed them all...:cool:

5) Rebooted my laptop.

6) Installed SDK to C:\ASDK, then set-up Environment Variable to point to ;C:\ASDK\android-sdk-windows\tools, this is thanks to someone who posted this information on the web...sorry I can't find the reference, but here is my Kudos to you! :cool::cool::cool:

I rebooted my laptop...

7) I then installaed HTC Sync, but prior to the install, I stopped Anti-virus software (AVG), disabled my firewall.

8) Did another reboot.

9) Once my laptop was up and running.. ensured my firewall was disabled and disabled AVG, connected my Hero (baby) noticed Windows installed the USB drivers

10) Once the installed was completed, HTC Sync, did not see the phone, now I was pretty pissed at this point, however I wasn't going to give...

11) Whilst my phone was still connected, I decided to power it off and left it off for about 20 seconds.

12) Powered my Hero back on... and then that was it.... Windows found the phone not just USB, HTC Sync, noticed the Hero was connected and started the installation of the drivers, this took a bit of time... do be cool and wait...

12) HTC Sycn, status, conected baby, yeah!....

I setup what I wanted to sych, Contacts, calendar etc. and clicked on sync on the PC....

And it was great seeing this happen....

I hope this bit of information help someONE or someTWO at least... I know how much time I spent on this and if I can help save someONE or TWO save sometime - WoW It make me feel goooood....

Please post if it helps or if it don't...

Cheers and good luck to all ;)

To be honest I don't know, but apparently it's necessary for installing ROM (following the steps from THE guide). I want to make sure it's working so that I won't get stuck with this problem in the middle of ROMing...

but later today I found my software is not up to date, but for some reason my phone errors with the phone+red triangle screen on, so I cannot update, without it I cannot properly root (even though the Universal Androot says it's rooted), and can't do anything. I am stuck at the moment, and plan to visit some store that claims they can do it for me... I feel disappointed and angry.:crying:

If you want a different LCD density, add an option lcd.density=xxx after the ppp options. 160 is default, 128 was the old "hiRes". Google Maps only works at 160.

If you don't want it to connect to data, add an option ppp.nostart=1.

How can the developer of Google Maps not have a compass and auto rotation of maps on the Hero version when other apps are able to provide one ?

Anyone know why as its a pain.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clobber:
Not sure, but if you are using street view withing Google Maps, then you can enable the compass. I really like that. It should be available with the normal maps.

What other map application uses the compass?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sproxy:
This was a big disappointment for me as well. Compass was the main reason for switching to a low resolution device from HD.

Having compass on the map would help a lot with pedestrian navigation. The compass in streetview in my opinion is only a gimmick and not really needed more than a few minutes when you first got the device.

However, in the map view if you had a compass on one corner, then you would work out which direction to walk. Even with low accuracy, it would certainly help. The map points north and therefore, seeing which direction is north would give you idea rather than walking around fast to see your direction from GPS.

HereIm Map Helper sort of does the job but you still need two applications.

Also it is interesting to see, Google staff's replies to this issue.

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=6b2c0d5872df9ab2&hl=en

It seems, they are not really using the products they are developing.

I still like the device and no regrets. but I could not give up HD yet mainly due to proper exhange support. Now that I am using sony ebook reader, resolution is also not a big deal anymore.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemax:
Ah... thats the direction arrow, not the compass. It will only turn if it detects you walking.

If standing still it won't generally face the way you are until you move forwards.

A compass would point north and rotate the map with you as you turn... like on iPhone...

If you plan on trying any Hero roms makes sure you update the new Radio and SPL. And please god make sure you do the RADIO FIRST then the SPL. If you don't do it that way you will have a $400 paperweight.

And my opinion, stick with non-Hero for now. Not saying they aren't good but I have tested all of them for a day or 2 each and even with a class 6 sd card and trying different swap values and sizes they always have some lag. If you are a casual user then I suppose you would be fine, but I have a business to run and cannot afford to miss any calls or texts. I need the web to run and be able to go home without and lag, or to get a quick email out in under a minute. Some people here say its just as fast but I have to disagree for the most part. When the dev's can get these new sets of hero rom's to be fully stable/optimized maybe I will try again but if you rely on your phone like I do then you may want to stick with cyan/xrom/jf for now.
