so, let's stick on 1.5 for now? I was shifting to 1.5.2 but I'm little scaring now!
[G1 Android Development] osokrayzay:
whats funny is 1.5 has java and flash it has the most pork. But hey it worked for you woot!!!
[G1 Android Development] osokrayzay:
but listen the are cooking up the official updated hero release, so yea thats what im waiting for!!!
[G1 Android Development] Akademist101:
this is the process right?

i did a nandroid backup normal wipe of existing data, then i applied update.

it installed successfully but then it stays at the t-mobile g1 screen :S

what am i doing wrong?
[G1 Android Development] Mikey:
Am i the only one that can't connect to GTalk??

On either 3g,edge or wifi.
[G1 Android Development] yourtravelboy:
I flashed 1.5 last night right when it dropped. I'm still 10/10 with sms. So I'll have to say yes the sms issue is good. I'm surprised how smooth this is still. I'm using a 40 linux-swap and leaving everything else default. I was expecting some kind of lag or slowdown by now. I am using Advanced Task Manager to kill programs I'm done with. Keeps Rosie quick and responsive. I've only experienced 3 loading screens because I had browser, tech buss widget, gtalk, messaging, youtube and people all up and running when I hit the home screen. Still loaded Rosie really quick. I'm going to keep testing for the next couple of days. I'm sticking with 1.5 cause my motto for the week is "if it ain't broke don't fix it"

Running

Weather/Clock widget, Facebook Widget, Tech Buzz, Bookmarks picture widget and 4 icons on home screen.

8gb class 6

512 7200 Fat32

7200 7700 Ext3

7700 7740 Linux-swap

Partitioned w/parted in recovery

T-mobile G1
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
Gtalk works for me. (on 3G)

I wish Youtube would play in HQ over 3G.

I heard 2.73 is cooking. I can't wait! :D

Great work to all the Devs involved in Hero development! Thanks!! :cool:
[G1 Android Development] osokrayzay:
ok then, i would

format ext3

fix ext

wipe

flash

and be patient, it takes a bit.
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
is it safe to push user.conf ? should be right cuz it uses jacks kernel?
[G1 Android Development] Akademist101:
is partitioning essential for running this ROM?

mine isnt partitioned but i was able to run JACHERO2.6.3 ROM without partition.

argh why does this have to be different. :/

here is the problem message i posted on xda to why i cannot partition:
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
you are making sure that u are doing the number 0 and not the letter O right???

#

# parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
first off reinstall and flash the recovery rom.. it might be missing certain keep things like the parted program
[G1 Android Development] Akademist101:
yeap. although it is fat32 it just says not found or permission denied.

:S formatted my card several times still doesnt work.
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
re d/l and re flash the recovery rom than
[G1 Android Development] Akademist101:
by reflashing the recovery rom is that cynogen recovery img?

how do i go about that? because i used the recovery flasher on the market which was a noe time thing but i think they closed it now so i cant re flash the same image doing that method.
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
couple of loading screens off browser when going back to home. reformatted 100mb swap at 100swappiness. FAST AS HELL. no down time everything stays quick.
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
look for the thread that cyn put out for 1.4 and follow the instructions.. all u really gotta do is d/l the file and change it to update.zip and flash it...
[G1 Android Development] otto888:
Whenever I try to install, I get an error in the update script...line 88 or something like that...says something about the data partion...can anyone help? running .2005 SPL, 1.4 recovery,I'm trying to re download via pc and see if that helps.

And yes,I have had hero roms before(JACHero 2.1,Elite Hero 0.5)....all worked fine.
[G1 Android Development] Akademist101:
ahh yes thats it. he does from an .img rather than a zip file. although when i follow the sintructions through console it says permissions denied.
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
2.73 up and running on my G1 :)
[G1 Android Development] Mikey:
A couple reboots did the job :)
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
hows it compared to 1.5.1 where running here?
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
I don't feel difference right now. Need to test a bit.
[G1 Android Development] nleung:
Thanks for putting out this rom! It's the first Hero rom I've flashed in a while and I'm happy to say it's definitely the fastest I've ever used.

-Almost no lag with widgets on all 7 screens

-No HTC loading screen when returning home after heavy browser use (96mb swap, default swappiness)

-Faaaaaaaaast!

Thanks to all the devs involved!
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
of course. im psyched for the next build. amazing job to u and all the devs. noticed huge improvement txting rotate speed (minor but big deal for me). thanks for all your hard work.
[G1 Android Development] Akademist101:
okay im re installing recovery image 1.4 then ill reflash and upadte this rom and ill see how it goes.

okay using cm-recovery-1.4.img i type the commands stated in console and says:

error opening / sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img : no such file or directory. yet i have the img file in root of sd card please help me!
[G1 Android Development] dweller88:
thanks for this rom,

the first hero I've tried in ages,

awesome speed and rosie behaving herself (mostly - couple of FCs when I tried search widget - maybe just teething ;) )

anyhow I'm very grateful for what seems (cross fingers) like a usable hero rom.

amen for that.

Thanks people !!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
it has been a long time comming. but this new 2.0 file system seems to be the one that will make our dreams come true.. a g1 with a fully working hero rom with no lag!! awwww makes me wanna cry and it is finally here!!! i need a beer and a shot
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
This is all because its non odex and btw is the version of 2.73 you got nonodex?
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
1.5 still has odex files in it... or from what i could tell... not sure why or how it is sooo smooth but if you ls /data/app_s/ it still brings up the odex files.... but i'm assuming the 2.7.3 that i see flying around on twitter will be odex free..
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
2.7.3 is still being uploaded from what i could tell
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
1.5 is odex but 1.5.1 is not its by far the fastest hero out because of the non odex
[G1 Android Development] newjaruz:
I am attempting to flash this ROM and for some reason I don't get the htc load screen after the G1 screen my screen stays lit but black... is this normal and how long should it take? i tried both versions the 104 megs and the 90+m and still... would I have to wipe ext3?
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
1.5 have odex, but they were removed in 1.5.1 (that's why it takes so long to boot).

2.73 is fully odexed :(
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Yep thats normal just wait it takes like 10 or 15 min to boot up
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Ugh any performance difference between the two or any major system changes cause if its nothing major i would probably just stay on 1.5.1
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
so u think there would be a huge difference with the completely non-odex'd version?? even though 2.7.3 is supposed to be the new file system the non lagged version htc should of released originally for the hero.. correct or am i mistaken?
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
2.73 is odexed unfortunatley however there is a russian version of 2.73 that is not that would probably run best on the g1
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
You have it ? :)
[G1 Android Development] adrake400:
yea u gotta wipe ext3
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
has anyone been able to get 1.5.1 up and running??? cuz it looks like almost everyone is still on 1.5
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Me no but its probably floating around somewhere I wish i had it
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
I have it runs SOOOOO smooth it just takes a while to boot like 15 min just leave your phone alone for that time and your good
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
i tried loading it earlier and it sat at the blank screen for atleast 25min... got nervous and loaded 1.5 lol
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
You have to do an ext3 wipe and regular wipe
[G1 Android Development] djhollygrove:
yup!!! im 1.51 and i love it!!! WIDGITS AND ALL!!! A Tad bit slow on a few apps but thousands of years FASTER than the previous HERO roms!!!
[G1 Android Development] slimster:
Is this version sending and receiving all sms messages? That seems to be the deal breaker with all these hero roms. No rom is good if texts aren't 100%. Any clarification?
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
what exactly is nonodex?
[G1 Android Development] aaronkt:
someone said this is the russian.

i wouldnt know how to tell other than loading it.

hope it helps
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
I will take a look in the morning. G'night world :)
[G1 Android Development] Akademist101:
i have just flashed to JACHeroSki 2.7.3 optimized no problems doing the same method as this one..

how come i could do this fine and yet run into the t-mobile screen freeze when doing the modace rom?
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Dunno :) We can close the thread, Hero is back ;)
[G1 Android Development] julez456:
I was having all those same problems formatting my sd card also until I decided to use this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=535914 to format it using ubuntu. Everything went smoothly and it was very easy to do. If you try using ubuntu and are still having a problem formatting your sd card then its possible that the card itself is damaged.
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Wouldn't do that just yet i have something for you akirah check your pm's
[G1 Android Development] jad011:
instead of 3g my network says H. What is that?
[G1 Android Development] saywhat4118:
is this thread being closed?
[G1 Android Development] jad011:
this is fast
[G1 Android Development] thenixan:
maybe H means HSDPA?
[G1 Android Development] dilfatx:
That's common for most HERO roms.. simply keep in mind when you see "H" then that means you are currently on 3G network.
[G1 Android Development] dilfatx:
Finally got 1.5 to install.. now the ext partition with my apps works good.. but my fat32 partition got ruined.. just great.. i do have linux swap btw.. other than that it still runs slow for me.. i am doing a restart and gonna take another look at it.. i already saw FC errors..

to be fair maybe the fact that I have 200 apps on my sd card could affect its performance..
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
yea gonna go with 200 apps. wipe sd and ext3 with time =D
[G1 Android Development] dilfatx:
The issue I forgot to mention.. I don't have internet connection anymore and so its not sync'n and now have restarted the phone and still same issue.. doesn't not connect to any network..

For time being Im repairing the SD card (FAT32 side) and have phone turned off.. will give it another go once I'm done with the SDCARD..
[G1 Android Development] MoLife18:
So far i'm 56/56 on sms. I've been running this rom since this morning and it's incrediable!! 10x faster then the previous hero roms. Whenever I would switch applications, there would be huge lag for me but not on this ROM. THank YOU SO MUCH for this great ROM

Anybody know how I could get the weather to display on the flip clock? I just get the time but not the weather!
[G1 Android Development] triniscorpio:
try pressing on the blank space where the weather is supposed to be...when the weather screen pops up refresh it. then remove the widget and add it again. weather should pop up
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
For weather to display first remove the widget on your homescreen.

Then open the weather app and search & add you're location to the app, then change Celsius to Fahrenheit.

Now go back to homescreen and add the flipclock again and it should work! :cool:
[G1 Android Development] adrake400:
This rom is simply amazing! I've had 2 htc loading screens frm heavy browser usage (like an hr on here lol) and playing mafia! I have a 63 mb swap and I'm sure a bigger swap wud fix those 2 loading screens I've had. THIS IS THE BEST ROM I'VE TESTED!!

On a side note I saw drizzy's twitter and I'm gettin a lil pumped about wat he's cookin us up :D
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
this rom isnt too great on a larger swap = / 40mb seems to be best
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
dude that would be awesome. and how is swap and overclocking working people? i have found JACHERO to be quite responsive, tried 1.6 today but it's still lagging too much for me... but then again i have a class 2 SD. but one thing: you said this is JACHERO? so basically the userinit.sh and user.conf files are in /system/bin? and how do you edit those and then flash? do you resign this? because idk how... :(
[G1 Android Development] mrmikemcguire:
browser problem??

So this is definitly the most responsive Hero rom I've tried. However, for some reasone the browser keeps closing on me. No forceclose, just close. I couldn't even get to xda to this thread, it would just go back to the homescreen! Never seen that before, but it does it each time without fail. I even installed Loccys (spelling?) Browser. Same problem there.

I've installed twice. Wiped ext twice.

Anyone having the same problem?

Version 1.5.1 without java and flash
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
3rd this lol but i do really want to know...
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
dude that RAPES!!!! wow just looking at that so close to if not directly cupcake speeds, even rivaling Cyanogen's i'll say but idk. i wanna try it... guess i will flash now. got some time to kill. luckily i don't have HW tonite
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
lol. is it comparable to cyanogen's ROMs?
[G1 Android Development] feidao:
JACxHEROSkiv1.7r2 is out..

pls merge them.:D
[G1 Android Development] GEN3RIC:
Ok I am REDOING this hopefully once and for all my flash isn't slow as heck.

Here is what I am doing:

-Making a new 500mb ext3 and a 32mb linux-swap.

-Check filesystem

-reboot

-apply 1.5.1

-check filesystem

-reboot

Sit and let it wait until it boots. If it's slow and laggy like usual, could it be my Class 6 card? Any sort of hardware deficiency?
[G1 Android Development] MoLife18:
Thanks bro. You Rock ;)!!
[G1 Android Development] phatman81:
Camera only downside?

I posted earlier, but i did not catch a response or anyone else having this issue? There seems to be excessive glare in this build (both taken on same desk with same light source. turning brightness down helps, but it is still noticeable) Maybe due to the auto-focus needing tweaking?

G1 (JAC-SKI):

G1 (MoDaCo build):
[G1 Android Development] GEN3RIC:
Darn... encountered an error during flashing.

E:Failure at line 88:

copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:

Installation aborted.

Gotta love it..lol
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
have you tried it? are they same speed? anyone?
[G1 Android Development] GEN3RIC:
If I don't get any tips on how to get this "line 88" error fixed I'm going to try 1.7 to kill some time.
[G1 Android Development] roguestatuskat:
yo how do you fix a line 80 failure, something about a chown/mod. system/xbin not existing
[G1 Android Development] Kennamer:
@ PHATMAN:

Your 'after' picture looks EXACTLY the same as photos taken with my G1 when there is a smudge on the lens. If you are using the stock back cover, have you verified there is not a fingerprint on the actual lens, or on the inside or outside of the clear window in the battery cover? I'm not trying to insult your intelligence, but it could be a simple fix!
[G1 Android Development] phatman81:
i thought that too, but the phone was basically untouched between the shots (hours apart) and the lense is clean (looking at it now). i was curious if anyone else saw this in their pics or if someone could take a pic to see. If its mine, then no worries...
[G1 Android Development] GEN3RIC:
1.5 works but 1.5.1 (stripped, but with java/flash) gets that error. Hmmmm.
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
this is the first hero release since the wwe that i've seen that comes in full form (non odexed). This is good because it's more easily modified. Do you have the source for the original dump?
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
by the way, you're doing the odexing wrong. You're also supposed to remove the classes.dex file from inside the apk (just open them up with 7zip), otherwise, you're just wasting space, plus gzip takes longer when parsing the whole file to acquire resources.

For extra credit, you could odex the whole framework too, but few people know how to do it without breaking the system.

I'll give you one hint: logcat
[G1 Android Development] alnzbail:
help

lol

wats htc sync? how do i remove it if i dont need it? do i need it ? yes this is fast i will not lie but lets see how long it last
[G1 Android Development] GEN3RIC:
So, I changed my linux-swap to 32mb ..and it's much quicker. I made a video with 7 homes filled with content. At least 9 HTC widgets running. It probably runs crappier on mine than anybody else's, so hopefully my vid will help.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEntPT7IPiI&fmt=22
[G1 Android Development] rondayne69:
Generic u get any loading screens using 32mb swap? im currently running 96 runs like a champ but if 32 runs good i might just switched down to that...the rom is amazing btw great job devs
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
ive switched back and forth 4 times from 32mb too 100mb swaps. testing after this last flash ill for sure say wats quicker
[G1 Android Development] GEN3RIC:
Yes, but the frequency is about a 1/3 as often. If I happen to be doing a lot of memory intensive stuff then hit HOME, it will do it. Strangely, when I had a 96mb swap, it did it almost every time I hit home.
[G1 Android Development] rondayne69:
pretty strange with the 96, o well at least u got things running smooth i watched ur vid. i personally find this rom appealing than jacs 1.7r2 i got alot of load screens but im guessing it was from not really understanding how to set up compcache (im new) the linux swap is what im used to. very excited about whats going to be coming out soon though from devs (ie drizzy) :D
[G1 Android Development] GEN3RIC:
Yeah.. I am still pretty confused on whether or not the swaps require setup or tweaking.

I can't wait for the 1.6 update to get merged, like the new market! It shows a lighter and much more refined UI. That has been one major complaint I have being a UX Designer.. Android is extremely inconsistent and doesn't enforce any design guidelines. They even break their own guidelines in different applications. Hopefully 2.0 reveals a full re-working of the UI elements and structure.

SORRY TO RANT! :D
[G1 Android Development] EZ14U2NV:
i have a 8gb sd that came with my storm (class 2 i think) with 96mb swap 30 swappiness and this rom is AWESOME!!! though i miss the flip clock that flips lol
[G1 Android Development] TheRealAru:
Rom is incredibly fast, have not encountered one error since my second flash.. My first flash had so many errors and force closes I could not enter the the main screen.. lol [Did not wipe or clean my partitions.. smart.]

But once that was set, and the swap and swappiness were a go, wow.. Let me just say this is the one I am sticking with.

Very great job, very smooth, just what I have been waiting for on a hero rom for my g1.
[G1 Android Development] saywhat4118:
As soon as i saw this i decided to take some pics and they were perfectly fine with out any glare. if you did clean your lense then i have no idea what the problem could be but its running fine here. plus this rom is best so far.. wont change unless a super hero rom comes out lol
[G1 Android Development] jtoyz2:
sorry im new to this...what do you mean by swapping 32 and 96? does it mean u set linux ext to 32mb or 96mb?
[G1 Android Development] phatman81:
Thanks for checking, really appreciate it. I was gonna go load the new JAC, but if its just my phone, then ill dig deeper to see what happened. I agree, phone runs great/fast and dont wanna give it up just yet. :D
[G1 Android Development] GEN3RIC:
The 3rd swap partition. There's the FAT32, the EXT2 or ExT3, and then the linux-swap being the 3rd. I removed it in parted and then made a new one at 32mb. If your swap is too big you might want to do this:

Boot into recovery console.

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

print (you'll need to know where your ext partition left off)

rm 3 (assuming the 3rd partition was linux-swap)

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 7700 7732 (the numbers will vary per your partition setup. use PRINT to figure out what to use)

And you should be wiping ext2/3 and reflashing.

mke2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (this wipes your ext partition without having to remove & make a new one)

Now apply an update.
[G1 Android Development] cicihaha001:
It's great, waiting for updating to JAC 1.7r2
[G1 Android Development] phaze478:
this is bull **** no matter what i do EVERYYYYYYYYYYYYYYTHING just fc's on boot. have to pull the battery to turn off the phone:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
And what is FC ?
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
this rom is smoooth. I only notice that it runs out of memory faster than other builds. BTW, I noticed HTC went ahead and jumped to 2.x.x.x on this version. I wish I had the full original dump
[G1 Android Development] phaze478:
FC= force close
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
This build is basically exactly the same what's in JAC's 2.83. It's just different versioning :) Very minor changes.

I'll publish another odexed 2.73 version, and minor respin on 1.5.1

Cheers!
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
But what application is force closing? Haven't seen anyone else to have this? Have you wiped your ext3 ?
[G1 Android Development] cicihaha001:
great, cheers:)
[G1 Android Development] sharpinho:
I had a Force Close on initial boot. TouchFlo force closed when I first tapped the home screen, and then closed again when I tapped it a second time. But since then, everything has been fine. No more force close pop-ups at all. I've only been running it for about 30mins, but so far, its the fastest and smoothest Hero ROM I've tried. Good work!!
[G1 Android Development] cyberrobin:
Im currently running cyanogen 4.0.4, before that I ran the JACxHERO 1.2.

I changed back to cyanogen because the Hero firmware was too slow for me than. I had to wait +- 30 seconds before returing back to the homescreen. (3 screens, with a few widgets)

I'm really curious whats the current status on Hero, did the speed increased? If so, I would really like to turn back to Hero, it looks so nice!

Maybe it helps if I post my sdcard partitions?

SDCard: 8017 MB

partition 1: 7442 MB, fat32

partition 2: 543 MB, ext3

partition 3: 32,4 MB, linux-swap(v1)

running this on a G1 with a standard 8 GB SDcard.

Now knowing this, here are a few questions:

1. Is it worth trying going back to the Hero firmware with my setup, and knowing it is faster?

2. Are there any hints/tips to make it go (much) faster?

3. Is there any way to keep al my SMS messages when changing from cyanogen to the hero firmware, like JACxHEROski?

Thanks guys!
[G1 Android Development] cicihaha001:
The only problem for this rom is that when you are search for contacts, it will crash after put only two character. and the sms's response is a little slow
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
I discovered something interesting. I merged only the app, lib, and framework folders with the ooooold hero beta2 (the one leaked by xdan), then I removed several packages and libs to make space, I made it all fit under 87mb, flashed it, and it worked perfectly. I'll leave it for a project for somebody else to work at. An almost full hero system in under 90 mb, no a2sd necessary, should be fun.
[G1 Android Development] sharpinho:
EDIT: Problem solved. Ignore
