jac 1.2 is pretty slow. thats very outdated. i recommend using jac 1.6r2a. runs a lot faster. now.

i dont experience that much lag, but cyanogens builds are always faster since its cupcake. so you might think hero is too slow since youve alrdy been spoild by the speed of cyanogen.

but i like watching youtube in high quality over a 3g network, i enjoy multitouch. i like to use twitter to follow devs, and android news so i am always up to date. sms issues dont exist in 1.6r2a

i am not goin to use 1.7r2 or any other new hero rom until i get good confirmation about its performance.

and also" backup for root users" i believe will save your sms when goign in between roms.
[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:
No he didn't all the force closes are from protected apps. He can either wipe ext or uninstall all of them then reinstall them.
[G1 Android Development] FREAKJAM:
can't wait for the 2.0 port :)

Paul just released the core and enhanced version. Looking forward to your version for the G1.
[G1 Android Development] Dror520:
downloading the new release but isn't jac's leaked rom newer than this? his is 2.83 this is 2.73 ... what's the difference? is this the official update that's coming to the hero? thanks!
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Basically frameworks and apps in Jac's release are the same as in 1.5x :)

This one is slightly different due to the fact that it's odexed by default
[G1 Android Development] mramos1004:
does the People app always Force close on search? because as what I've tried it always does.. What's the best Hero ROM so far?
[G1 Android Development] nabzilla1990:
this one seems really fast fast boot probly cuz its odexed whats the newest dump you have
[G1 Android Development] cyberrobin:
Oh wow.. what did I do wrong?! I just wiped my G1, and installed the update.zip, system booted up and i'm getting non-stop Force Close's.. looks like every app is crashing nonstop.. ?

edit: just dit the fix filesystems. But everything still crashes, this is the first boot.
[G1 Android Development] nabzilla1990:
yeah it does
[G1 Android Development] mramos1004:
ahw that's too bad.. i was hoping on flashing a stable hero rom but i think there is none.. is there any?
[G1 Android Development] dmch:
hopefully there will be a fast rom with both chinese input and the plurk app:-)

the chinese input of 1.5.0 appears force close on my G1
[G1 Android Development] nabzilla1990:
its not a big deal just search ur contacts using the dialer
[G1 Android Development] mramos1004:
hmmm other than the People problem.. what else are there? coz i really want to flash a ROM. also, my current setup is 32mb swap. Noob as I am but I don't know what should I configure to make it faster.. I don't see that there was a suggestion to use swapper also.. hmmmm..
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
so, is there a source where to download an audulterated copy of the 2.83.x.x release? I'm very interested in a recent, non odexed build
[G1 Android Development] cyberrobin:
Fixed. Wiped the ext3 manually.
[G1 Android Development] dweller88:
I have 32mb swap partition on a class 2 sandisk 8gb.

This Rom 1.5 is fast as help.

Don't hesitate. Just flash it!
[G1 Android Development] thenixan:
damn i always get loop

formating ext3 and wiping data and then reflashing wont help

once it booted and i cauht lots of fc's
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
woah new dump with new 1.7r2?! i just got 1.5.1 how i like it.... well here goes another flash lol
[G1 Android Development] killa_tattz:
its mad fast and responsive, oh by the way to avoid boot loops, always remove your system/sd before flashing from the console, no boot loops, and fc's most of them because it clashes with the system/sd that is already there...
[G1 Android Development] s0xpan:
how long does this take to do a 1st boot cuz i just flashed this and its still on the hero loading screen its been approx 3min
[G1 Android Development] charris1011:
It takes a while. But its worth the wait!!!
[G1 Android Development] s0xpan:
awhile like what 10min type of thought?
[G1 Android Development] Dyonas:
I tried the newer version just now and it feels sluggish compared to the 1.51 build most people were raving about yesterday, myself included. I'll be sticking to that for now.
[G1 Android Development] cyberrobin:
how do I know if the apps2sd is really working? I currently have installed this rom + a few apps and my G1 internal memory is 29 MB free.

I think that needs to be more?
[G1 Android Development] s0xpan:
how long should i wait til i assume a boot loop

and if i assume a boot loop for it how do i fix that?
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
home screen is currently loading...I'll let you all know whatsup when i set it up as I usually do...though I'm probably going to cause a bootloop when I flash data.img.
[G1 Android Development] Muse.Invincible:
It is certainly fluid on the home screens. Also quite snappy all round. It is certainly as fast/faster than JAC's. Includes some cool apps aswell. May need some cutting down due to size. But very usable.
[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:
Its flying so far, very responsive. Flew thru setup faster than any of the others.
[G1 Android Development] phatman81:
Beat me to it, but i agree, loading the widgets on the homoescreens seem to go fast and respond very quick also. gonna load it up and stress it out to see how it fairs...
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
I agree...for the 10 minutes I messed with it I was shocked.

I hope this data fastboot flash doesnt cause a bootloop though.
[G1 Android Development] EZ14U2NV:
OMG!!! Finally the contact list in people scrolls smoothly! ive tried every hero rom (i'd like to think) at least 15 flashes and this one is VERY snappy!

HOWEVER anyone else having trouble getting weather to show on clock widget!?

EDIT: cant get picture album widget to change pictures either

EDIT: just so everyone knows... THIS BUILD IS WORTH FLASHING
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
hmmm, i noticed it seems to update the homescreen after it loads...and i had one force close (my mistake) and it came back realllly fast.

altogether a much better rosie.
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
I agree

THIS BUILD IS WORTH FLASHING!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] Dror520:
So wipe data and ext partition like every rom? just making sure ... ;)
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
bit of a problem...messages widget doesnt seem to work properly...i can scroll from 1/X to 2/X but anything beyond that i cannot do...dont know if its becuase i flashed data.img or not though, so not reporting it as an official problem yet.
[G1 Android Development] EZ14U2NV:
I noticed people on the devs message board saying they are also not getting weather on flip-clock widget! anyone have a fix?

EDIT: upon further inspection i noticed the flip-clock... does not flip!

i think this is faster in every way that i can see than the previous hero roms!! however it is not perfect ;-)
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
also no plurk widget (not that i need it but im a widgetophile.)
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
usually works only in edge...dunno why.
[G1 Android Development] Noirlecroi:
If coming from twisted's rom, do i need a total wipe or just a wipe of ext3 and repair extensions??
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
It will eat your data. It's realy really hungry.
[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:
Very responsive, especially after I deleted a few things.

HTC CIME

HTC Weather + Widgets

Spare Parts

Tether

HTC Widgets - Bookmarks, mail, Calendar, footprints, stock.

teeter

weather provider

system sounds

plurk

java

terminal emulator

footprints, stock, mail.apk

Have 5 htc widgets going with very little lag and 78 apps installed.
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
I've cut Java and Flash support from mine + some widgets and apps like Stock.

Freedom of choice! :)
[G1 Android Development] yourtravelboy:
Testing report

Took a while to load, but thats expected. Its super snappy. I'm very impressed by how fast it goes home and how fast you can move around on the home screen once you're there. Sms seems to work well 10/10 for me so far. Sms app icon shows message count = ] (thought the widget was the only one that did) Haven't tested the in call latency yet, but will in the morning after the phone sits for awhile. This doesn't even seem like the same hero roms we've been flashing lately. I look in "About Phone" and it says its Jac/Ski, but is it really? = ] What are your secrets dude? Good work
[G1 Android Development] Dror520:
so do I need to wipe data and ext partition if i'm coming from twisted rom? thanks!
[G1 Android Development] yourtravelboy:
yes of course. I believe it says "Wipe and go" or something like that.
[G1 Android Development] slimster:
At the risk of sounding redundent, can anyone else confirm?
[G1 Android Development] charris1011:
Its not a boot loop it just takes a while!!!
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
if u dont get the weather on the flip clock, it doesnt work if ur on wifi, try changing to GPRS/EDGE, also the 2.x.x.x rom has no root
[G1 Android Development] macray76:
No SU?

Just installed 2.73.xxx version and I'm too thinking it is running slower than 1.50 (which was running beautifully for 24 hours BTW)

I've also noted that I can't su in terminal. Says permission denied.:(
[G1 Android Development] adrake400:
yes i have received every txt sent my way :). last night during the eagles game i got every txt for every score lol

also after a day of testing im starting to see a couple more HTC screens not alot more but a few more. also, i have my phone setup so that twitter is on the right screen and messages on the left at times when i go to scroll to twitter or messages they arent there but then they show up (no biggie just wanted to c if anyone else has had this happen)

other than that speed is still there :)
[G1 Android Development] rondayne69:
looks like ill be sticking with 1.5.1 then, still running ultra smooth
[G1 Android Development] s0xpan:
it was booting for a half hour!

how long is it supposed to take?!
[G1 Android Development] dilfatx:
this was a respost.. disregard this post
[G1 Android Development] zellbz:
Just pull out the battery and power up again
[G1 Android Development] dilfatx:
I"m constantly gettiing FC on the clock widget... and IM NOT EVEN RUNNING THE WIDGET... i go and check my phone and almost every time i see the FC.

3rd Flash of this ROM didn't fix it..

wiped and clean install each time..

40 mg of linux swap

and I have restarted the phone many times..

Other than that.. the phone does seem to respond well (not CRAZY BLAZIN FAST LOL) the SMS does take a bit to load..

I'd say this is the fastest HERO rom I have personally tried..
[G1 Android Development] zellbz:
If your ext3 isn't wiped, try wiping it and reflashing
[G1 Android Development] charris1011:
: place in the root of sd card

: shut off device

: boot into recovery

: wipe (alt w)

: go to console (alt x) and hit enter

(enter)

# mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd

# cd /system/sd

# rm -rf /system/sd/*

# reboot recovery

: now wipe again (alt w)

: run a filesystem check from the menu. If it tells you to run it manually,

drop to a console (alt+x) and run "e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p2".

: flash

Enjoy!! ALL CREDIT FOR THIS ANSWER GOES TO yourtravelboy
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Quick question...I loaded this with no problem. I tried to remove the launcher through adb and it worked. Then I tried to push some custom colored widgets through like I've done before and it took, but when I rebooted it would stay on the HTC screen. It didn't seem like it was looped, but it just stayed there. Would anyone know if this was just normal as I've read some of you say that it took awhile to boot?
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Try to open and close keyboard if you're stuck on HTC screen. I've ran into this issue when I was playing with ROM in the beggining.
[G1 Android Development] Loccy:
That's good enough for me. Have just flashed a tweaked version of 1.5.1 noflash (tweaked in that I got rid of apps2sd, which I *hate*).

Have had a couple of SMSes, so, so far so good on that front. I find it interesting that people with real Heros are all complaining about the same SMS issue. Clearly it's nothing to do with any of our dev's work - it's a basic problem in the Hero ROM itself, not the device it runs on. Worryingly, though, Hero people are still reporting missing SMSes even with the Modaco ROM builds, so I'm not 100% convinced this has resolved it yet.

One thing - I found the browser actually crashed on sites that have flash. Suspect it's because the browser still has the flash plugin but the OS doesn't support it. So, I've built a version of the browser (attached) that actually has the flash plugin removed which seems to work better for me. You might also need to remove flashplugin.so from /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins, although if you're running a2sd (most of you), you may not have a /data/data. Hope the browser/advice helps anyone who (like me) despise Flash with a passion and want it gone. (You'll need to rename it to Browser.apk before pushing it - DON'T unzip the zip, just rename it).

Otherwise, first impressions are very good. We'll see how long it takes me to revert back to Cyanogen :D
[G1 Android Development] ths_:
After getting to use the phone like normal for a day now, I can still say this is the fastest Hero rom out.

That being said, it is still slow compared to ION and Cyan's roms. It's fine (and enjoyable) running until I try to launch the HTC music app. Once that is running everything begins to run much, much slower. Even when music isn't being played. It's not slow enough to force me to go back though, I can handle it, which is saying a lot. In the past I lasted roughly a few hours on a Hero rom, at most.
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
Can you post the non apps2sd version you tweaked? This should eliminate the need to format the EXT partition.
[G1 Android Development] Loccy:
It also has the changes required for a 32B Magic, so probably won't be any good for you guys with Dreams. Happy to post it if people still want it though?

Magic changes aside, all I've done is gone through and more or less removed everything from the a2sd script in /system/bin so it looks like

sysctl -p

# execute any postinstall script then kill it
if [ -e /data/firstboot.sh ];
then
/system/bin/sh /data/firstboot.sh;
rm -f /data/firstboot.sh;
fi;

# replace symlinks with directories so we can boot without sd
for i in app app-private;
do
if [ -h /data/$i ];
then
rm -f /data/$i;
mkdir /data/$i;
busybox chown 1000:1000 /data/$i;
busybox chmod 771 /data/$i;
fi;
done;

setprop cm.a2sd.active 0;

sync;
setprop cm.filesystem.ready 1;

#!/system/bin/sh
#

/system/bin/sh /system/bin/swap;

and I suspect you could probably drop out the for loop as well if you wanted.

I'd only do this on a clean flash with nothing else installed, though - otherwise it might get a bit complicated having to move your apps back from SD onto the NAND.
[G1 Android Development] Godson1227:
anyone else have their lockscreen just disappear on the 1.51 build ???:confused:
[G1 Android Development] iso67:
I'd like to try the 2.73.405.5 build but in MoDaCo forum I red I need a new radio.... is this radio different from the latest HTC we had (since a month or two)? do we need it? and what's about recovery image?
[G1 Android Development] oshizzle1991:
THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE FASTEST HERO ROM I HAVE TRIED. I HAVE WIDGETS ON 5 SCREENS AND MOST OF THOSE SCREENS HAVE APPS ON THERE AS WELL and its still as fast as speedy gonzalez man!

HERES MY BIGGEST PROBLEM. EVERY TIME I TRY TO OPEN UP THE MARKET OR HTC MUSIC, I GET THIS

CONSTANT

FORCE CLOSE. i cant get it to stop. thats my biggest thing so i am going to run 1.51 with no java/plunk because i dont need either and hopefully the force closes will stop with that one
[G1 Android Development] Loccy:
Have just found another issue with the browser (this is on the 1.5.1 build without Flash, using the APK I build a few posts back otherwise I find all sites with Flash embedded crash the browser).

YouTube videos don't play from within the Browser - they show up embedded with a play icon, as they should, but when you click on them it takes you to

vnd.youtube:_[youTube video ID]

and tries to render it in the browser. It's as if it doesn't know what to do with YouTube embedded videos.
[G1 Android Development] s0xpan:
thankyou now it loaded but the first time it was posed 2 load it fc'd and all i had was the status bar :-\
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
I planned on flashing it to a Google ION which has a 32B board so I'm good to go. Upload I beggeth!
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
so new dumps slower than 1.5.1?
[G1 Android Development] hassle:
this boot is getting the boot

this 1.5.1 boot aint worth ****! phone isnt supposed to go down for a half hour!!! thats just plain ridiculous.
[G1 Android Development] nuc70st:
work on mytouch?

Will this rom work on a Mytouch 32b?
[G1 Android Development] mrmikemcguire:
Calm down buddy.. if you don't like that about the rom, then flash a different one. No need to bash anything.
[G1 Android Development] mpwight:
Just flashed to 1.5.0 and am loving it. The only problem I am having is that my bluetooth won"t work. Is this normal???

Also what do u mean that 1.5.1 is stripped down. What exactly is removed and does bluetooth work on that ROM?
[G1 Android Development] macray76:
Bluetooth does not work on ANY Hero ROM on the G1/dream - so yes it is normal
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
just flashed 2.73 and it is just as fast as 1.5.1 once im putting back on to a linux swap now too see if it can go anyfaster.
[G1 Android Development] LoganK13:
Dream + Any Hero ROM = No Bluetooth
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
You need to go to the Sapphire forum and get the one that is ported for the mytouch.
[G1 Android Development] iso67:
did you need the new radio 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18 (as stated here http://android.modaco.com/content/h...m-is-here-2-versions-based-on-the-new-update/ ), or the htc one are we using since to months (62.50s.20.17H_2.22.19.26I) is just fine?
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
.26I works fine for me just got off a 20 min call no problems. with linux swap it runs fast, not a huge difference from 1.5.1 but a little snappier.
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
I didn't even realize there was another new radio. Any benefits to this one?
[G1 Android Development] dwright48:
allways looking for the next Hero rom intill i can get the xperia x3... flashing now
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
didnt twisted brick his g1 using new radio few days back?
[G1 Android Development] s0xpan:
okay so i got this actually working and its faster than jacHeroski's latest

uhm

cant expect it to be perfect but this is what im using for a while =]
[G1 Android Development] Dyonas:
I noticed the newer build (after 1.51) was missing SU access when I couldn't run AdFree. That and what felt like slower performance compared to 1.51 made me switch back.
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
The radio in the links above were meant for the HERO, so unless you have a HERO device I wouldn't recommend flashing that radio. :cool:
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
yea thats i didnt install when i flashed newest drop, just letin these ppl kno
[G1 Android Development] adrake400:
ok this is funny lol..i commented before about gettin all my text right well not very soon after that it was a no go lol i sent myself the alphabet online and no notification but i go to chomp and they are there but the letters are not. my fiance txtd me and i nvr got it...hmmmm

BUT i did select use only 2g networks and i think thats what causesd it so i deselet and reboot phone and still no luck lol...any advice :)

thanks

ima reflash and see if that helps
[G1 Android Development] iso67:
I'll be away from it then.... thanks for the information!

about loosing SU privilege with the 2.73... build, I was reading something about "unrooted rom", and this made me suspicious... there is something measlinding like

- Rooted with 'adb remount' permission and superuser APK (in http://android.modaco.com/content/h...m-is-here-2-versions-based-on-the-new-update/)

- Generally speaking these shouldn't require a wipe, but I can't guarantee that. Also, note these are completely stock and unrooted - you'll need to root afterwards if required.

....

Rooted ROMs - note these ROMs are repacked as update zips and are identical to the generic ROMs EXCEPT they are pre-rooted. Radio ROMs are NOT included unless otherwise stated.

in http://android.modaco.com/content/h.../03-09-hero-roms-radios-in-update-zip-format/

anyone else has problems with root access? if really the root privilege can be lose, is it possible to re-gain it with the easy procedure indicated in this forum. without root privilege how to use wireless tether for root user?

who knows then! Should I just stick on 1.5.0?
[G1 Android Development] mpwight:
Well that sux but it does help me out. Is anybody working on a fix for that??

Also, what are the differences between the ROM 1.5.0 and 1.5.1? It says stripped down on the changelog for 1.5.1 but it doesn't say what was removed.
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
after couple of hours on 2.73 went back to 1.5.1. Its just faster because its not full rom. Id wait anyone who is thinking about going too 2.73 till its slimmed a bit. also got multiple loading screens on 2,73
[G1 Android Development] frankzua77:
!!!

Tried 1.5.1 it was fast at first....after installing some apps...started getting the HTC screen and then the loadings (screens) begin!!!! THIS SUCKS!!!! just like all the Hero Roms...fast at first but then it starts to die...and I only have 2 widgs, twitter and messages...

:mad:
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
Don't know what to tell you! :confused:

I have all 7 screens with widgets, (Twitter, message, weather, music, photo album etc...) and I have no loading screens whatsoever!

You might wanna try reformatting you're ext3, wiping, and flashing again. :cool:
[G1 Android Development] mhsbrian:
You're sadly mistaken, you need to optimize your Hero ROM better...

I changed the scaling speeds from 128mhz-highest to 386-highest and the ROM runs flawless for me.

This is the fastest Hero ROM yet, and thanks for your work on this along with all the other awesome developers.:)

su working now i add the superuser.apk

not as fast as 1.5 but i couldnt view my mms on that even after changing the apn setting..
[G1 Android Development] kaotikking:
Heroic speed

So I am pleased to say after 24 hours of testing this phone on 60 swappiness and a 96 MB Linux swap I have had only 2 force closes. IMO 1.51 is set worthy of daily use especially if u use miketaylor's " bandaid". I have used benchmark pi for testing on speed and my average is 12 -15 seconds acceptable for me on a hero ROM and I'm flash happy :)

Thanks to all the great devs for the work especially JAC/CC/and ne1 else I may have forgotten

On a diff note. .. isn't the message widget supposed to allow u to scroll more then just 2 messages???
[G1 Android Development] osokrayzay:
weird you coudlnt get your sms messages, yes 1.5 is faster

i did a quick test on sms text message for 1.5, i acutally got an extra text hehe
