[G1 Android Development] akirah:
laszlo, actually this dump was released earlier than 1.7 JAC-SKI build, but with jac-ski kernel. It's a earlier hero dump. and until 1.5.3 it was using my custom merged /bin and /lib.

-- I've just realized, that since 1.8 JacSKI moved to the same framework and app set. --

But when it was released it was different from later released JacSKI 1.7.

Anyway, I'm off for two weeks now, so you might switch freely to JAC's build (as it should be totally no wipe).
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
All jokes and other things aside, speed is no longer a gauge with these Hero ROMs. They are all fast now... that's not even an opinion, it's pure fact. "Freedom of Choice" is exactly what's what now.

The only thing left is getting certain functions to work such as bluetooth, and customization.

I'm running JACHeroski 2.1 only because it came out before Modaco 1.5.4 and I'm sticking with it because it's really fast, nothing more than that really.

So I've said all this to say this, if you're wondering which way you should go... BOTH ROMs perform the same, period. So make your choice and wait until somebody fixes bluetooth or whatever function you'd like to see work proficiently.

How close is GPS? its one of the only thing that sucks about hero it takes forever to accuire a location
[G1 Android Development] djrobe07:
1.5.1 is the first ready for daily use Hero build i have come across. I haven't seen much increase in performance between 1.5.1 up to 1.5.4, but they all perform nicely.

running a 96meg swap with 80 swappiness. I am using advanced task manager and when it starts running a little slow i hit the end all widget.

excellent work. great job to all that have contributed, and thank you very much. if the performance and stability continues to increase i won't have to by a hero or mytouch.
[G1 Android Development] djrobe07:
trying compcache with linux swap, 100 swappiness. so far WOW
[G1 Android Development] Gerson2407:
Anybody Having a problem with the sms notification sound? It seems to work only once or twice after reboot but after that no more sound for sms notifications at all. I'm running 1.5.3JAC-SKI Upgrade, anybody experiencing the same thing?
[G1 Android Development] yourtravelboy:
regardind lack of sound when recieving a notification

Yeah I had the same issue, problem solve by upgrading to 1.5.4
[G1 Android Development] sibulabu:
I had 1.5.1 then use the 1.5.4JAC upgrade, but I notify the "loading screen" very often, so I when to terminal, type "free" to check the linux-swap => linux-swap total: 0 used: 0 free: 0

I wiped then installed 1.5.1, check linux-swap => normal

then upgrade to 1.5.4 again, still the same problem linux-swap "zero"

Anybody helps plz
[G1 Android Development] harpreet1988:
Yeah, i noticed it too. Try this.. open messaging app, then press menu button, go to settings and change the notification sound from there.
[G1 Android Development] yourtravelboy:
Yeah it appears that cc is set by default in 1.5.4. No biggy just edit your user.conf file
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
compcache is on by default in jacs 2.1

you just have to manually turn on ur linux-swap
[G1 Android Development] RanT476:
hhmm i have a few questions

well first and for most im still getting hangs with this hero rom i went from 1.5 to 1.5.3jacski to 1.5.4 jacski and its been hanging on all 3 could that be because linux-swap is off or w/e or could a lagger than 64 Megs linux-swap make this rom hang? cause i rly wanna figure this out today when i was useing it rite when i flashed the upgrade it seemed fine i left it for a bit and when i hit the menu button it didnt respond but i knew it was on cause i plugged the usb in and it made the sound as if its connected to the computer so i'd like to figure this out and sometime it just freeze's on me and wont respond at all and since i upgraded i've been getting alota loading screens and "HTC" in big letters thats pretty much a loading screen so i'd like to kno if that be the cause thx for reading
[G1 Android Development] yourtravelboy:
Post your partitions as they are listed in parted from recovery please.
[G1 Android Development] RanT476:
parted /dev/block/mmcbl0

print

1 Fat32 512b 3400 3400Gigz

2 Ext3 3400 3900 500Megs

3 Linux-swap 3900 3996 96 Megs

and i did that free command in Terminal also my linux-swap aint on and its configed to be on in the user.conf
[G1 Android Development] yourtravelboy:
Okay so your partitions are good.

In 1.5.4 user.conf is set by default to have cc running. If you want linux-swap running instead, you'll have to edit your user.conf and push it back.

Note: Not everybody's usage is the same. So you're going to have to experiment a little on what setting work best for your usage.

Anyone else want to chime in here?
[G1 Android Development] Gerson2407:
No, that's not it. I try changing the sound and once it's changed still no sound... I'm going to try travelboy's approach and just upgrade.
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
I could screw up user.conf ;)
[G1 Android Development] RanT476:
yo akirah you got anything to say or add or help me with this hanging issue sometime ill clock on an app or click on wifi or click on anything or try and press menu when the phone is idle and it will lockup/hang/freeze/what ever u wanna call it but when i plug my usb cable in i hear it connect to the computer it makes the sound so and also when i leave it alone for awhile ill press Menu and it wont respond the screen will stay black no lights no nothing no keyboard lights nothing so what could cause this and how can i fix it
[G1 Android Development] Gerson2407:
I think it turned out ok, fixed the sound problem. Nothing seems different, now to resolve the LED notification problem. ;)
[G1 Android Development] Gerson2407:
1.5.4 gives me massive loading screens...
[G1 Android Development] ratdrsuperstar:
That's all I got was a lot of loading screens and lag 1.5.2 has been tha best for me so far fast and stable
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
If you're getting loading screen you're doing something wrong
[G1 Android Development] pengages:
i have no idea whether i did it right or not, however, I installed 1.5.1 and then flashed 1.5.4 - the rosie screens run a LITTLE choppier than 1.5.1 - however, they certainly seem to get stuck less overall.

the speed at which applications are accessed is great - much much faster for me in 1.5.4 than in 1.5.1 - the rom is definitely fit for day to day use IMO.

Thanks so much to all involved
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
Agreed, I have widgets on 6 screens (nothing on main) and it run smooth and fast, the only time I had loading home is when going back from weather app, solved removing the flip clock which I had on main screen

fyi I when directly from 1.5.0 to 1.5.4 with 48MB swap size and default userinit
[G1 Android Development] RanT476:
kinda funny everytime i ask akirah what im doing wrong or how to fix this hanging/freezeing/whatever u wanna call it problem im having he "afk" and yes im getting this loading screen too so maybe one of u can tell me how to fix this freezeing and loading screen problem my linux swap is activaed in my user.conf file but it still says its not in the terminal "Free" command so i dont kno wtf is going on so maybe on of u can help me thx : )
[G1 Android Development] Dror520:
what's the difference between this and JacHeroSki 2.1? is this faster? thanks!
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
Flash JACHEROSki-v2.1 and tell me if it still isn't reading correctly in terminal.

Akirah may have forgot modules.sqf
[G1 Android Development] masterrn:
does anyone know how to remove the lock screen bar on this rom?
[G1 Android Development] s33kr:
Just flashed 1.5.1, then 1.5.2 based on what I read in the thread. Seems fine to me so far, anyone recommend I go 1.5.3 or .4?
[G1 Android Development] yourtravelboy:
I upgraded to1.5.4 and I'm stoked on the speed increase. I'm still testing which setup that works best for me (cc/backingswap linux-swap and swap size etc.). 24 hours stable only two loading screens 1 after playing music for 4 hours straight with several app running in the backround and hit Home and 1 after a lot of browsing and watching some HD flash videos. Other than that its really good for cc/backingswap, but just to make sure I've covered all my bases I'm going to try Linux-swap for 24 hours :)
[G1 Android Development] RanT476:
ight ski ima flash that rite now but i gatta format my ext rite? and wipe? and u still didnt say nething about this freezeing/crash/hanging situation noone wants to answer that question lol or dont kno how to fix it akirah should answer the dam question but im ganna flash that in a few my phones dead...
[G1 Android Development] DaveKid:
just installed...including all upgrades. so far so good. speed def. seems better than other builds i've tried so far. no crashes in any app yet.
[G1 Android Development] DaveKid:
flashed to ROM this morning. then flashed all upgrades. so far so great!!! Much faster than the other Hero ROM's i've tried. seems stable so far but gotta play more to make sure.

question: is there a reason why my HTC clock widget doesn't want to display weather also?

great ROM....thanks

DaveKid
[G1 Android Development] RanT476:
Ok Ski the swap is activated on JACxHEROSki-v2.1 so maybe he did forget i guess i dont kno im jus worryed about the hanging/freezeing/non-responsive issue but so far it didnt happen on JACxHeroSki-v2.1
[G1 Android Development] norrback:
got mine g1 last week, now rooted, new radio, new spl, 2 gb SD card (not even sdhc), 1.5.0 and upgraded to 1.5.4.

working so far... some odd lockupps but I guess that's the sd card.

/Andre'
[G1 Android Development] RanT476:
na norrback its not ur SD cause i have a Transcend 4gig class 6 micro sdhc card and mine locks up too but i've went to JACxHEROSki v2.1 and so far its ok but i only had it got like 2 hours so i dont kno yet but it aint lock up on me yet and its the same thing u have flashed on ur phone rite now pretty much dam near the same neway
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
To get the 1.5.4 to work on the Mytouch, do you still have to do the

su

rwsystem

magic

?
[G1 Android Development] RanT476:
o dam dude u got a mytouch i dont kno i got a Tmobile G1/Dream i have no idea wut u gatta do for a mytouch i like the G1 better so i dont kno ask around
[G1 Android Development] RanT476:
well i'd like to kno is it possible to get a better keyboard for the Hero build JacxSki v2.1 for the G1/Dream cause i was useing "HERO2 - Freedom of choice 1.5.4JAC-SKI BFS-211" and i like that keyboard but on HERO2's build theres no "Landscape" mode for the keyboard so can you change the keyboard layout at all or can i change it and get Landscape too some how
[G1 Android Development] yourtravelboy:
Landscape mode is activated for me by just turning the phone on its side and waiting a sec. You may need to turn on "Orientation" in Display settings :)
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
FYI the fastest setup would be CC with backing swap: set memlimit to 18, disksize to 0, backing swap swappiness to 40 and 64mb swap partition

and is this faster than JACHeroSki 2.1? cuz i wanna try the fastest Hero ROM... otherwise maybe i'll stop switching between hero and Cyanogen's stuff and just ditch Hero until it's better...
[G1 Android Development] harpreet1988:
Actually Drizzy's new rom is just as fast as 1.5.1(which is still pretty damn fast). For me JACski 2.1 had random issues.
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
oh ok. so this stuff is close to cyanogen's ROMs? cuz JACHero is right on stock G1 cupcake speeds...
[G1 Android Development] harpreet1988:
Yeah, I just made a couple of tweaks (removed some apk's, used advanced task manager to kill processes/apps, customized user.conf). I can't say it's the exact speed as cyanogens, but it's getting there.

I'm currently using Drizzy's 1.4r1 rom.
[G1 Android Development] HTCinToronto:
Is this a 32A only ROM?

I'm a bit confused about this ROM.

Post #1 links to the conversion for a 32B sapphire and I searched the thread for either 32A or 32B with no results. (Don't understand why the search didn't at least return positive for post #1)

Anyway I am presuming from the 32B cross link, the inference that this is a 32A only ROM. If so then shouldn't the thread read [32A] somewhere?

Second question then is can someone please confirm that 32B Dream/Sapphire ROMs are inter-compatible between the two devices.

Thanks,
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
oh ok. yah i got the tweaked user.conf action, which apks did you remove and why? does killing some processes and apps really make a big diff?
[G1 Android Development] harpreet1988:
I removed twitter,stocks, twitter widget, stocks widget, footprints+widget, and the .odex files of each, since these are programs I never use. In advanced task manager, killing programs frees up memory, in turn making the phone a lot more responsive. I also use SetCPU, and have profiles activated, as well as set the up_threshold to 20. I've had a major improvement in speed.
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
it's a JACxHeroSki thing so i would think it's still compatible with the MyTouch3G... but idk for sure... but yes AFAIK it should work for this. and yes Dream/32B Sapphire ROMs are at least forward-compatible
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
Agreed, BUT... HERO2 1.5.0 is much smoother even before upgrading to 1.5.4
[G1 Android Development] harpreet1988:
That's what I said.....:p
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
oh ok. i just max overclocked with the user.conf to 528MHZ... and how did you remove the apk and .odex files??? i know they're all supposed to be removed in the modaco 1.5.1... and i'm about to flash the 1.5.4... and which processes aren't needed by the system?
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
lol isn't there a diff between 1.5.0 and 1.5.1? like 1.5.1 is alot lighter or something?
[G1 Android Development] harpreet1988:
I removed the apk's using adb on my laptop

once you cd to C:\___\android\tools\

adb remount
adb shell
rm -r /system/sd/app_s/_____.apk
rm -r /system/sd/app_s/_____.odex

rm -r /system/sd/app/____.apk
(replace the ____ with the names of the apps, you can find them in the .zip file of the rom, if you still have it on your computer)

And I just open advanced task manager, and just press "end all".
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
oh ok with adb... and end all would only get rid of unneccessary process/app stuff?
[G1 Android Development] jayb222:
I tried it and still..1.5.1 is faster. I will stick to that until the new builds are as fast and have blutooth and leds. I'm happy on the earlier version. Why is it still the fastest even after all these hero updates? Why can't we just build off that? Why are the new kernels better? BFS is slower. It's supposed to be faster. There aren't force closes on 1.5.1. Only no boot screen. Why are these updates needed if it doesn't improve the build? Just asking. Not trying to be a d!ck.
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
does no wipe mean you don't have to wipe? or does it mean you're required to not wipe?
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
great rom, very fast, now i just need a 9 screen rosie(yes more not less)
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
I saw this and was wondering if the version in the OP was based off of the 1.5.1 found here: http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero-hero-modaco-com/292018/03-09-1-5-1-get-the-new-update-now-the-modaco-custom-rom-is-here/
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
What kernel are you using Akirah? Also, which iteration of 1.6r2 did you base it off of? A or B?
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
@ ccyrowski, How's the rom from the leak Drizzy shared coming along?

Thanks! :cool:

Great work on this rom! :)
[G1 Android Development] pengages:
howdy all,

I have come from JACs 1.6r2B with a 32mb and swappiness of 40 (as that's all the rage now)......wipe, not fresh install (didn't wipe ext3) and I have tried EVERY SINGLE hero build to date. I'm not comparing to start drama or blah blah blah - but we here on the forum like to know which ROMs are FAST ENOUGH and EFFICIENT enough to run for EVERYDAY use - and our feedback is the only thing that counts.

Cyans is hands down, unanimously in the everyday use department. Honestly, all of the HERO builds to date are only BEARABLE for me .... i put up with it because I have rosie - but there is no time during a full days use, where it doesn't lag and slow down to a complete crawl - or even at the onset of power on, sometimes the screens hang or crawl.

Since installing this MODACO modded rom, I have experienced nothing but extremely FAST rosie speeds. The app speed is just as fast and comparable to 1.6r2, but the rosie is unparalleled.

This is first Hero ROM I will keep on my phone for more than a week or so hopefully and I am very thankful for the awesome job done on this ROM. From bootup till now (about an hour) - my rosie has not hung ONCE, there hasn't been the LAG LOCK from hell where i can't change screens even ONCE, and all in all feels absolutely blazing fast and responsive.

THE FULL DAY TEST comes NOW. I will go through the day with the phone, just got 14/14 texts in check now. HERO likes to slow down as the day goes on - yesterday by 1-2pm, my 1.6r2b was just absolutely horrendously slow. Lets hope that in 10 hours I can report back that the rom ran super smooth all day.

EDIT: Sorry its early, I have to walk out the door so if it's already been brought up - my bad. It seems that one reason the rosie is running faster is because the flip and analog clock animations were removed? I could care less honestly and I think it's better since most of the time the lag made the clock animations disgustingly disgusting.
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
Any word on how this will run on a mytouch3g? More specifically google Ion?
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
it's version B. I'm not using CC so for linux-swap it's ok, and it's... just smaller ;)
[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:
It just came out on here, I don't think any mytouch users have tested it yet.
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
Well then, I may just be the first then. Downloading...
[G1 Android Development] dipeshb:
Yes I was worried about that, but the sizes are different...

MoDaCo_G1.zip - 109,872,675 bytes

1.5.1-update-hero-modacocustomrom-signed.zip - 108,325,255 bytes

Can anyone confirm?
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
It's based off 1.5 not 1.5.1.

Anyway size would be different because of different kernel, different libs and so.
[G1 Android Development] anonymoustom:
Thanks everyone. I've just downloaded the switchrom script so I'll try that at the same time!
[G1 Android Development] the_fish:
I really like the Hero's interface, but Rosie not supporting landscape makes it an absolute no go for me... But apparently no one seems to care about this very annoying "bug"
[G1 Android Development] feidao:
Fast, very fast!

I've never see such a fast Hero ROM before.

1. menu fast and smoothly

2. contacts fast

3. dialer fast

4. sms slow as before

5. Wifi, LED, GPS works

6. BT doesn't work

and so on..
[G1 Android Development] pengages:
found a little bug maybe....

Go into contacts - favorites - add favorite.

When you click the search field to bring up the VK

ANDROID ACORE FC - happens everytime, even after reboot.

Anyone else getting this problem?
[G1 Android Development] RaiderX303:
happens with me aswell as soon as you start typing
[G1 Android Development] osokrayzay:
ok im guessing, we cant install modaco's rom? becuase its for hero only?
[G1 Android Development] zgmf-x322a:
i prefered a flipping clock :S:S
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Just a default MoDaCo update? No, unfortunately. Otherwise I would just post a link to this build :D

Let me finish some crap I have to do and I'll post update.
[G1 Android Development] osokrayzay:
cool beanz!

edit: what made you choose 1.6rb arent most saying 1.6ra is faster? better? just a question no biggie
[G1 Android Development] harpreet1988:
I was wondering the same thing. I guess Paul's ROM had optimized frameworks/libs and the JacSki kernel added along with those frameworks/libs made all the difference?
[G1 Android Development] harpreet1988:
if you wipe, you won't be able to boot. It means you don't have to wipe, since it's not a full build, just a the necessary files packed into the "update.zip"
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
oh ok. yeah i made the mistake of wiping before that and had to reflash the 1.5.1 then 1.5.4... but w/e only took 2 minutes altogether. restarting
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
maybe because people want the full Hero experience including the boot screen and everything else from the JAC-Ski stuff? with the extra optimization from this build?
[G1 Android Development] jayb222:
But that's all it missing is the boot screen. What I'm asking is what hero experience is added in the new builds? From what I've seen hero is the same. Same force closes same no blutooth and same no leds. Why update if the build is slower and nothing useable is added. CM adds a lot of internal differences and it's faster. What I'm saying is it is the same Hero experience on all builds. What am I missing?
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
yah you're right. hopefully something will come along that is even faster than 1.5.1... cuz for now i'm going back to cyanogen's ROMs... the G1 will have a while until either the Hero stuff becomes smooth... and with some speed too. or it will never get there idk.
[G1 Android Development] harpreet1988:
I too am back to 1.5.1

I don't know what about it is so fast, but ROMs out after it aren't as fast.
[G1 Android Development] yourtravelboy:
Tried 1.5 w/1.5.2/1.5.3/1.5.4....

After trying every possible configuration with 1.5 and all the kernel upgrades and all the different user.conf configurations I've come to a conclusion that 1.5.1 is still the best one released yet. I say this because the speed is great and it doesn't have the errors like lag of soft-screen keyboard, no audio in video recording and the 36 hour mark where the sound from notifications stops working for some reason (I never could put my finger on it. hmmm). Now 1.5/1.5.2 is still a solid configuration to use, but 1.5.1 is still fast and doesn't need a kernel upgrade. Did anyone find errors in the 1.5/1.5.2? I didn't, but I'm just curious.

So for this week its 1.5.1 with a 64 mb linux-swap w/80 swappiness for me
[G1 Android Development] PsychoKilla666:
I don't mean to be hijacking this thread but has anyone of you tried drizzy's 1.4r1, I tried JACski's 2.0 and had the same problem everyone is reporting, nothing is faster and errors pop up every now and then. Since the verdict seems to be the same in this thread I am now considering testing 1.5 from this thread and to compare it to my personal winner 1.4r1, anyone tried Drizzys and know if its as fast as 1.5 or does 1.5 still got it beat, if you have not tried 1.4r1 I def recommend it, its silky
[G1 Android Development] Gerson2407:
I 100% agree. Ever since 1.5.2 I started getting lad and other things I didn't like. I tried upgrading and upgrading once more and by the time I was on 1.5.4 my phone was slower then the very first hero rom that came out! JK But really, 1.5.1 is probably the fastest I've seen hero at. I don't like all this upgrading of the kernels talk. All I know is that 1.5.1 is blazing fast and I can use it everyday without breaking my head open over loading screens. Now if someone could just take 1.5.1 and fix the boot logo. Then this rom would be perfect! I love seen that lil guy when I boot my phone, if I ever have to...
[G1 Android Development] yourtravelboy:
1.5.2 and up are fast too IF you change the user.conf settings a little. I'm curious to why 1.5.1 is so great. I agree that 1.5.1 is the best so far too. So what's its secret? No odex? Other?
[G1 Android Development] horrorwolf:
My bet is that the non-odexing is helping it out in terms of speed.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
non-odexing decreases speed, but lets you make edits to frameworks and apps etc.

I'd look at the kernel 1.6r2a was the first HTC Sourced kernel, and a really good one at that. That and 1.7r2a & 1.7r2b kernels are the most stable ones (outside of 1.8) everything after is experimental with BFS.
