Would someone be willing to help me with upgrading to this Hero rom? I've never partitioned before and am new to linux. Also currently I am running Cyanogen 4.0.2 right now with my original radio and spl intact. Never changed those. I also want to set it to be optimal settings. I seen people talkin about swap and swappiness, to which is a foreign language to me. So if someone could maybe help me through PM or IM that would be awesome. I know that it's frowned upon, but I am sure with a little help going through it with me once it shouldn't be an issue from here on out. Just always nervous the first time. If you are willing to help my AIM username is vinbeaver.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Ok, 1.7 is up. I think this is a keeper.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Notification settings in settings? If so, have you tried to remove the tmo app you just installed?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] yipcanjo:
Totally stoked, man. Downloading now... :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mykenyc:
i have faith in you evil going to try it now before i go out to this club im going to bring my prepaid phone just in case it act stupid lol don't want to lose any numbers :) ... lol :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] yipcanjo:
Bummer. 1.7x is giving me the BSOD -- Blurry Screen of Death :( Didn't get this with 1.6 *and* most other Hero ROMs seem to do this. A result of switching to the Haykuro base, perhaps?

Really bummed right now...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hitman4485:
i meant the notification settings in the my account app. everytime id switch on bill reminder notification it would force close. then id try and upgrade from the market and go to 2.0.2. and it would say "invalid update" or "not properly signed" im trying a reflash now may even just try your new release...scared of blurry screen ha. its just a pain in the arse to repartition every time. thanks for all the help and hard work. keep it up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
The kernel.... I'll probably fix it soon.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hitman4485:
adfhrwtnrw

damn blurriness! damn you to hell!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Try the 1.7x5 for MT3G

I can narrow down the problem.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tazz9690:
does this ROM have the SMS problem that other roms like JAC's newest release has?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ch4dr0x:
First Hero ROM I got to "work" so far. Question, does everyone elses clock seem to... reset if you leave the screen? I noticed if I go to like the market and go back home the clock widget resets to some default time and sets itself to my timezone every single time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mindbender77:
trying this out on my mt3g

wow its hella laggy and i have 3 partitions with a class 6 card =( any ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Check your swappiness with swapper. Make sure it is 30+ & at least 32 mb swap.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vtecbros:
well when i had evil 1.6 it was the first rom that i have recieved 100 percent of my text. so im sure its still that way with his new updates.

trying out 1.7x5 MT3G test.

right now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ch4dr0x:
I just realized the swap file wasn't enabled... is there any huge difference in going from 32 to 48?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Xenn0X:
rom works fine but it's a bit on the slow side for me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sutiban:
push those to your phone then use:

adb shell sh system/bin/userinit.sh

adb shell sh system/bin/userinit.sh -s

and it'll run much better. unfortunately as i posted earlier, after every reboot you need to run the userinit again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] The_Chrome_Coyote:
if you have the autostarts program, you can create a script for running userinit on start

EDIT: NM, thought I read you could, but couldnt find it in the app
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sutiban:
eff that... I'm gonna make this work!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mt3g:
fast

everything seems to be great 2.9.6, as good as 2.8 but faster I'm loving this thanks again evil reign and cc and whom ever I'm missing thanks guys
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pilotedge:
Hi Everyone,

I have been scouring this thread for a while now, and am keen to try the ROM. However I see a few people have had difficulty running the scripts that are needed to get it up and running properly. On the first post it says "run the code above" but I cannot find any code, just a changelog.

I'm thinking if I could get it going I could make an idiots guide to doing it to stop people like me from asking all the time, but if someone could PM or post the details of where to get the code and what to do I would appreciate it, I've scoured the forum for ages and can't work out exactly what to do.

Thanks in advance!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magpie2000k:
damn it is slow as hell on first boot up.

Got all excited flashing new version and it is taking for ever...LOL

ah ha just booted
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sutiban:
OMG!!!!!!!!!!

I got it to actually work!

Ok, this is really ****ing ghetto, just giving you guys a heads up...

Install autostart (root) from the market. Autostart (root)

Once that is installed you will need to run the following commands.

adb shell mkdir /data/opt
adb push userinit.sh /data/opt/autostart.sh
adb shell chmod 755 /data/opt/autostart.sh
adb shell reboot

After that is all done your phone will reboot.

*WARNING* This mod will add to the total boot time, however it will enable the swap and make things faster overall.

Questions/Complaints? http://twitter.com/sutiban or sutiban {at} gmail.com
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Loccy:
Isn't there an existing starup script that you could just add the userinit.sh script to? Havent flashed the rom yet but there must be somewhere it could be added. Have seen other roms with a custom_init script, for instance.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sutiban:
well considering I got my phone a week ago, and just joined here, I honestly have no clue, I'll have to start digging through the init scripts to try and figure out what can and can't be done.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] The_Chrome_Coyote:
running it all morning, frequent use on web, texting, and installing apps. Its stable, much more so than most of the other Hero ROMs Ive tired, but Im still getting constant SenseUI refreshing which adds major lag time to using the device. Additionally Ive noticed that its just sluggish overall.

I ran the custom userinit commands as described, and havent reset it. But still getting the "more sluggish the longer its on" symptoms I had with BFS 240.

Anyone have any suggestions?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mmudassir:
did you try the 2.9.6 with BFS-300 yet?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mmudassir:
if u r constantly visiting this forum, you will know that BFS-240 had some issue? Right?

Try the new build 2.9.6 so far I am not seeing any lag, let see how my day goes (I am running it on my only MyTouch3G).... love to live on the bleeding-edge ;)

ciao
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pilotedge:
OK, so I got the ROM loaded and pushed the files user.conf and userinit.sh to system/bin then I ran adb shell sh system/bin/userinit.sh and then with -s, as most people seem to do.

Only problem is as part of all the text I get when running these I get dev/block/mmcblk0p3 no such file or directory. Now I am assuming this is the swap partition, but I formatted to 3 partitions using the ra recovery image....

Any suggestions? at the moment linux swap is not working (thats what is says anyway!)

Hi, thanks for reply, however I already tried that and still saying cannot find file or directory. argh!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] makross:
:Edit: new kernel does work with 2.7xx remix
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pilotedge:
Just to share with anyone is having problems getting linux swap to work llike me (see my earlier posts). The recovery image RaV 1.2.1 did not configure my partitions correctly. I followed androidpanda's fantastic guide on doing it manually, which was pretty simple when it came down to it. The guide is on this thread and is worth a read.

Getting there now, good luck everyone, and thanks androidpanda!!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pilotedge:
I just got a message saying tether wont work as the kernel doesnt have the required features, using 2.9.6. Anyone else get this???
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magpie2000k:
Hi all I seem to have a problem.

Is any one else having the same.

ROM is very fast but waking from sleep ie screen off takes and age, so if I try and start up the phone 15 seconds plus. If I get a call I end up missing it as it rings max once.

Anyone got any ideas. Running latest version with the user files from this thread.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ccyrowski:
Yea, it will still work. I have the netfilter in there, plus some extras! But it throws that error. It's looking for IPV4 and I put IPV6.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] warriorofice:
The 300BFS.zip update run very fast for me, but sometimes i need to remove the battery because the screen still off and no response to anything button.

What´s the reason for that?

Thanks for the job Evil
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mmudassir:
True, had the same issue, since morning! dang! it is not stable
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
That's right. If you guys get a warning message, just press ignore. That will close the app the first time, but open it again and press ignore again, then it should work. You might have to do it a 3rd time to get the binaries to install.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WebghostDK:
I have a question before i flash... Does this still has the weird images included and the weird htc lock screen?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Not sure what you mean by weird. It has a custom lock screen.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Not sure, keep an eye on it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WebghostDK:
Ok, is there a way to get the original Lock screen back? I kinda like it :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Mine has been running all night and morning with no issues at all...... so far.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
From another rom, you can push the resources.apk from the framework and you will need to push the lockscreen image from etc/lockscreen/port
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WebghostDK:
Ok thank you :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Do you have a Linux-swap partition?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mmudassir:
DId you just flash the new rom (assuming you did the Wipe + Format+update.zip), or you did run the user.conf and userinit.sh after doing the Wipe + Format+update.zip.

Because what I did is

Wipe + Format+update.zip

then Reginzone's user.conf and userinit.sh execution.

then reboot
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vtecbros:
Im having the same problem.

I have wiped+format.

I get random boots too.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] The_Chrome_Coyote:
I am running the latest ROM, installed it this morning, Im saying that Im having the same slower the longer I use it issues that I had with 240, :-P

But to add another symptom to the list, I too suffered the "will not wake" error, forcing me to remove the battery to reset bc the hardware keys wouldnt respond to the 3 finger salute.

Im also having issues with ROM sounds not always ringing, especially with text messages. Sounds picked through Rings Extended, or from the Audio Resources folder on my SD card work fine however
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Are you guys upgrading or flashing 2.9.6?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] The_Chrome_Coyote:
I reformatted my SD Card, wiped data, and flashed the ROM from scratch. Ive been through so many ROMs in the past few days I dont care about loosing data at this point :)

This is definitely the best Hero ROM Ive used, even with the 240 kernel it lasted longer and was more stable than the others. 300 is definitely more stable, but the sluggishness and freeze during sleep issues remain for me at least.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] niftymu:
Hey everyone,

I too had my phone not wake up, had to do a battery pull. When the phone rebooted, I opened up taskiller & notice a whole bunch of applications listed, applications of which I had not executed. (don't know if anyone else has noticed, thought I'd point it out if not) other then that no other issues thus far.

Awesome work Evil, keep it up Bruh.

sups2: ReignZone (thanks, as I am using your user files)

Edit1: I simply upgraded @ Evil, if a fresh install is required, I'll be doing that first thing when I get home.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
2.9.6 persistent swap issue

I have fixed the persistent swap issue.

adb remount

push the attached files to system/bin

adb shell chmod 755 system/bin/"each file"

reboot

adb shell cat proc/swaps
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tengtou:
I just flashed this morning. I've notice that the max ringer volume distorts the sound. It is really loud and seems like it will blow the speaker like this :(. Anyways you can limit the max volume?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Turn down your ringer volume......

I drive alot, so I need to hear my phone.

Also, use the market app called AudioManager. It controls like 6 or 7 volumes.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mmudassir:
do we need to do this, if we get the 2.9.6x (with swap fix) ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vtecbros:
k so i pushed this

my cat proc/swaps says:

Filename Type Size Used Priority

/dev/block/ramzswap0 partition 26756 26676 -1

/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 partition 94044 31656 -2

i think this is good right?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] niftymu:
Did you restart then 'adb shell cat proc/swaps'?

If so, and those are the results you got after typing the above command, the fix was applied correctly.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] robotician:
Market worked!

@eViL D

Just flashed 2.9.6x, then market worked. so far so good!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mmudassir:
so it is only if you just flashed the 2.9.6 and not 2.9.6x ? Can someone correct me? Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vtecbros:
Yup i did that from adb shell.

But idk why im still getting htc loading screens.

I've never really gotten that from other Hero Roms including previous versions of EviLs.

So yeah. Yes i have wiped and formatted. Not just my ex3 but my swap and fat32.

???
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
That is correct.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Edit the user.conf until you're satisfied.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Got my first random reboot. Let's see how often it occurs.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mmudassir:
got a reboot after I just sign-in to my Gmail account for the Sync.

Here is what I did:

1) Wipe, Format my SDCard with 3 partitions, convert ext2 to ext3

2) copied 2.9.6x to sdcard and then Apply Update.zip

3) rebooted, fone was fine, then after an hour i sync my phone with GMail and booom... rebooted.

Using myTouch3G on T-Mobile US .
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eatabagel:
I too got a random reboot.

Settings were stabilizing and it became more responsive as things settled, so I started customizing it. Installed a few apps, fixed a few homescreens.

And then I let it sleep. When I tried to wake it, it didn't wake. It rebooted.

Hey eViL, just so I can be more helpful... is there a log I can look at to see if there was something in particular that triggered the reboot? How does one set these things?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BigRD:
Been running the 2.9.6 with the swap fix. :) It was running nicely, very smooth and responsive then after approx 1 hour I got my first random reboot :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WMO_Magic:
well i got some random reboot also today since i applied the BFS patch and when i installed the 2.9.6 version.

Had no problems with the 2.9.5 version tho, only after bfs300 patch.

Am now installing 2.9.6x. Formatted, fat32,ext4,swap, wiped data/factory reset.

Hope it just works, will try to post my findings (it's starting to get late here)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eatabagel:
Ok I found something pretty major--

I don't have any Google Contacts.

As a result, I have nobody in my addressbook.

Also, all SMSes are just identified by phone number with no names associated.

No caller ID.

Nothing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Nothing too major yet.

So far, so good.

I have been testing with this kernel since early last night.

It's been great. No random reboots, no lag, and certainly no unusual activity.

Folks, keep in mind that if you're having issues that specify to YOUR contacts, syncing, SMS, etc. That typically it has nothing to do with the ROM, unless notified of the problem on the OP. :rolleyes:

Anyway, the JAC/ski BFS-300 patch is fantastic. There's still more work to be done, they know that, we know that...but for now; it's flawless.

And guys, if you haven't already - FLASH v2.9.6x - Support REAL ROM development! Btw, "we" had the first Hero ROM in the Sapphire development section w/ this available! :cool:

Thanks again Evil, great work...I'm flashing v2.9.6x to my other devices now. I'll have feedback and updates later. Best wishes.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BigRD:
Damn!! It did it again...

...screen was black, phone wouldn't respond to any key and none of the key backlights came on. It was as if it was switched off but wouldn't switch on. Had to pull the battery :(

This is without a doubt the smoothest and slickest Hero ROM for the 32b. Thanks for all the hard work :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WebghostDK:
[REQUEST]

Add danish language on next builds :)

I see alot of Hero ROM's has the danish language
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nnesto21:
bfs300 is not ready for primetime yet so skip bfs300 for now

black screen issue and reboots after calls

been testing this bfs 300 since last nite after a few hrs this starts to have issues

try at your own risk

now this is a real bfs 300 review
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Well, I've made calls and mine hasn't rebooted nor have I got the black screen. I would advise some of you to test minus installed applications.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Evil, you SOB.

You beat me to the punch! :rolleyes:

I was just about to instruct "our" BFS-300 patch users to do the exact same thing!

Bummer. ;)

Anyway, yes folks. I've had no issues AT ALL! Go easy on re-installing every application and its mother. There's no need considering half of you guys re-flash a new ROM the next day. Get what's "completely necessary" and just enjoy the phone's speed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DrewDanger:
Is there a way to get the other lock screen on your roms evil? The lock screen that has the curved blue bar?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jabbawalkee:
Evil...would you mind posting this signed folder that contains the modified lockscreen? I want to push it to another rom and I'd really really appreciate it...I'm trying out JACxHEROSKI's 2.2remix right now but I miss the transparency

Drew Danger read what I just quoted..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eatabagel:
Ok-- Reign-- you're right, the contacts thing is not a ROM issue. Solved.

Also, now that I have have it running for a couple of hours, it seems I have not seen the wake issue or random reboot issue anymore.

Crossing my fingers that this is it. For the past 2 hours I've been putting it through a battery of tests (calling, smsing, browsing, going back to home, blahblahblah).

Things seem to be hunkydory now. Very nice. Very responsive.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DrewDanger:
Not gonna lie man, Im lost on that one =(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] The_Chrome_Coyote:
with 2.9.6x do I need to run the custom userconf from Reign again? or has that been included? Plus can i use the script posted earlier for autostarts to run unserinit.sh at boot for odex goodness from the start?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
install the ROM you want, then push those files from the ROM. There's no signing needed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DrewDanger:
wallpapers

Thats a link for all the motoblur backgrounds. Do I just name it update.zip and run that?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mt3g:
push what files? what files are the lockscreen I have been wanting to do this also, is it just push the htclockscreen through adb, and pull the other one?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jabbawalkee:
Is the only file I'd need to push /system/etc/lockscreen/port/htc_wallpaper_01_lockscreen? Or are there others? I also want the semi-transparent black under for the clock on the lockscreen..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tengtou:
Is it just me or is it really sluggish with you play music and try to do other stuff to? Flashed the most recent rom. Is it because im on a class 2 sd card?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
In the words of Borat; "Very Nice!"

Evil, this is fantastic.

Easily a considerable amount of performance improvement with this build.

I'm pleased to see that you incorporated the BFS-patch to spare those the so-called, "confusion" of applying it manually. :rolleyes:

Anyway, I've been testing...thus far, all it quite well. No complaints. Other than my usual, "God I miss the TEXTURED transparent notification bar". ;)

I've been talking to CC about testing a "non-hacked" (referring to the 10MB addition RAM hack) BFS-patched kernel of his. He has that currently "in the oven" and hopes to release some time later this evening. If not, definitely tomorrow! I'm also going to be trying miketaylor00's latest user.conf to see what I can blend in with my own.

Folks, once I hybrid his user.conf with my own...I will post them here. I don't have an ETA on that release. Just be patient. Thanks for the support. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] The_Chrome_Coyote:
your last one was cake, so I look forward to your addition to this ROM :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:

Does anybody else have problems with recieved picture messages lookin like total crap besides me?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DrewDanger:
Example. A picture gets sent to my phone from numerous different phones on different networks and when I open the text the picture is all blurry.

But when I have them sent the picture to my email address and I open it from my email on the phone it looks normal. Everything worked fine before the phone was rooted. I have had this issue on 2.6 and 2.7x. Is there something Im doing wrong or a setting that needs changed? I love this rom but I need my picture messages to work right:confused:
