format your ext2/3 and swap before install the rom . in my magic B run fast and stable

That's because nobody read the part that said still uploading. I had to correct the script just as it finished and reload.

hey guys,

Just wondered which is better. Latest build of this or JacxHeroski 1.7? Currently running 1.7 and just wondered if it was worth moving over to this thats all!?

Is JacXHeroski running a more recent release of Hero build? I cant seem to workout whats the latest one anymore!

Please someone reply and tell me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxon25:
is this rom just for g1 and MT? can vodafone magic use this? reason i ask, is cause i used this rom and it took ages to load...about 10mins and i got partitons fat32/ex3/linux swap and this rom lagged big time. Im guessing its me and not the rom cause other seem to run it fine. Im now on JACxHEROSkiv1.6r2 - MoDaCo custom Hero 1.51 merge and it runs perfect, part from the bluetooth file sharing app, that dont seem to work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zambezy:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] johnw230873:
Maxum25, what part of the rom is slow for you, everything or just in a few areas.

Have you got widgets on the home screen, if so is it quicker when you remove them.

Are you running swapper, if not this does improve the speed.

zambezy, no one is saying the Rom isn't working, some people are just having a few issues so turned your caps lock off, most of us have read the posts and run the scripts as Maxum indicated in his post.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Johnny Blaze:
Runs faster than stock for me. No reloads, etc. The ones you mentioned that run perfect run slow also. It all takes a little bit of tweaking.

If you know how to use adb you can remove the following if you dont use them.

Teeter

Pc Sync

Stocks

Album widget not the album just the widget

music widget

Launcher if you only use rosie

calender widget

contacts widget

pdf viewer

quickoffice

htc twitter

twitter widget

plurk

plurk widget

I mainly removed these because I didnt use them. Also there are free market programs that do the same. Weather widget can also be added if you dont mind paying for weather widget donate. You can also just move these apps to run off sd to speed up the rom or any hero rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] johnw230873:
Fixed my speed issue.

First off I didn't read correctly at the begining of this thread and I downloaded the link from this thread not the latest from the linked thread.

Next I followed these instructions to format correctly and also move the cache to the SD card

http://theunlockr.com/2009/09/05/how-to-speed-up-your-hero-rom/

I know I had formatted correctly but I don't think my cache was on the SDCARD.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zambezy:
Hey Twisted... could you move Twitter, Plurk, Widgets and some of the other non essential programs (service.stock) from app_s to apps

Would that make them uninstall easier?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxon25:
It was slow on first boot, took around 10 minutes to load. Once loaded i had no widgets on any of the home screens and each time i tried to slide left or right to each home screen, it would freeze for 5seconds then move, then it would move fine. If i pressed the bottom left hand button to view the apps, somtimes it would freeze for awhile then the window would pop up and then it would be fine again. When i loaded up the web brouser, it would get stuck on a page and pressing home button to get out of it wouldn't work. Downloading an app took loads longer then it should have.

The whole rom just didn't work for me. Now im not saying its the rom, because it seems like every hero rom has different effects depending on whos phone its on....or shall i say, depending on who is installing it lol.

The JACxHEROSkiv1.6r2 - MoDaCo custom Hero 1.51 merge worked really well for my phone, it runs spot on but i can't get the su push to the phone and run adb shell so i can get the correct permissions to be accesed from apps to use the bluetooth app i got
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Johnny Blaze:
Actually the apps dont slow it down now that I have gone from 32mb swap to 128 swap. I left default swappiness. Going to see how long this works until it bogs down. BTW the browser now keeps the page in cache. So will see how it goes but definitly more than 32mb swap is needed if you want to run it stock as is.

Going to run a few tests before I remove apps and edit user.conf file.

Using benchmarkPi avg is 11746

rank #240

I think in the long run the 128 swap is going to hurt some but we shall see
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zambezy:
I have been running the 128 swap with 30 swappiness and no issues at all. The swap normally gets ~50% full at max.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] johnw230873:
How do you go to 128 meg file and still stay using the swap partition ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Johnny Blaze:
If you leave the user.conf as is it is set to use whatever size the linux-swap partition is set to. In an effort to try different sizes i reformatted my sd using parted to have a 512 ext, and 128 linux-swap. I forgot that the size settings were on the swap file part not partition so unless I reforat it smaller I am at 128. Typing free into terminal show me as having 128 also.

Seeing that I dont reboot often the swap will eventually fill then the os will have to make room which will bog me down a bit....then again since we get a ne rom every day or so I think we will be fine.....no time for it to fill between flashes....

Should I try changing swappiness to 60 and see what happens?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] twistedumbrella:
I've been using a 100mb partition with 60 swappiness with no issue so far
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Johnny Blaze:
o was wondering what you were using. If I get any issues going to change the swappiness and see how it goes.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zambezy:
The swappiness controls the retention of the swap partitions higher numbers will use more of it while lower number will purge more.

The kernel moves sagnant memory to the swap partition instead of holding it in the RAM. The swap partition does not grow as you use the phone it eventualy get purged... the number you set is what defines this.

Linux: Tuning Swappiness

Submitted by Jeremyon April 29, 2004 - 9:22am

Linux news

A number of Linux kernel developers recently debated "swapiness" at length on the lkml, exploring when an application should or should not be swapped out, versus reclaiming memory from the cache. Fortunately a run-time tunable is available through the proc interface for anyone needing to adapt kernel behavior to their own requirements. To tune, simply echo a value from 0 to 100 onto /proc/sys/vm/swappiness. The higher a number set here, the more the system will swap. 2.6 kernel maintainer Andrew Morton [interview] noted that on his own desktop machines he sets swapiness to 100, further explaining:

"My point is that decreasing the tendency of the kernel to swap stuff out is wrong. You really don't want hundreds of megabytes of BloatyApp's untouched memory floating about in the machine. Get it out on the disk, use the memory for something useful."

The other side of the argument is that if "BloatyApp" is swapped out too agressively, when the user returns to use it he has to wait for it to swap back in and thus detects a noticable delay. Rik van Riel explains, "Making the user have very bad interactivity for the first minute or so is a Bad Thing, even if the computer did run more efficiently while the user wasn't around to notice... IMHO, the VM on a desktop system really should be optimised to have the best interactive behaviour, meaning decent latency when switching applications." Andrew Morton humorously replied, "I'm gonna stick my fingers in my ears and sing 'la la la' until people tell me 'I set swappiness to zero and it didn't do what I wanted it to do'."

I was previously using jacheroski v1.5

and i switched to cyanogen 4.0.4 because it was much more responsive

I have no idea how to partition a card though, im relatively new at this

although i pick up fast

How should I partition a sd card?

im running off the 4gb that came with the mt3g

am i assuming correct when I think that the card is partitioned into 3?

ext3 = 3 partitions??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] chatonveca:
no, ext3 is a partition, just like fat32, ntfs, etc...

this is a linux partition.

But you need to do 3 partition for this firmware :

500MB Ext3, 32MB Swap, remaining Fat32.

I'm using this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530492&highlight=Nandroid

This recovery can do this for you.

But becarefull, it will erase all the sdcard data.

Maybe its something with my install but it would not work for me... only in messaging. I did complete clean reinstall from scratch.... System wipe and all and it still doesnt work.

This is with the latest version 5.1r2 but it hasnt worked for me since 5.0r2. I did not install the 5.0. ... went from 4.5=>5.0r2. I know Mms.apk changed in 4.7.

I have auto complete working in messaging. Look in the original zeroxd thread in the dream forum. It involves taking the HTC_IME. apk out of another build and pushing it to your phone. Only prob with this is that It makes the keyboard kinda laggy. Working with my 5.0r2b
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zambezy:
Thank you... h.nocturna for the fix, and nacron for the heads up...

Here is the fix for auto-complete...

Everything in

open dos prompt.

adb remount

adb pull /system/sd/app_s/HTC_IME.apk c:\(*your directory*)\HTC_IME.apk (***back up the original***)

adb push c:\(*your directory*)\HTC_IME.apk /system/sd/app_s/HTC_IME.apk (***install the new one***)

start your Messaging it will crash the first time you want to use the keyboard... restart Messaging and it should work...

The 3.52 is based on jacxhero rom 1.2, i use this rom from 3 days now and no rosie reload, no lag, nothing. I use 64Mb linux-swap and swappiness at 45.

No compcache, only linux-swap for the moment. Twisted is implementing compcache for the next version of the rom.

So I assume that if you are using 3.52 that means thart everything works ?(textmessages, wifi ? don't care about BT) I'd like to give it a try see if it really works better than 3.82...
