does 1.5.1 still hold you by the balls till it boots, or was that fixed?
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Will take a look. Only thing I need is ext4 support :)
[G1 Android Development] kickfliprock13:
FIXED

The 1.52 upgrade fixed my message recieving issues. My issue was weird I wouldn't receive them if I was in the actual message app. But that is fixed now.
[G1 Android Development] yapueloco:
the new kernal seems to have slowed it down just a lil bit any1 else notice this...but by far the fastest hero out
[G1 Android Development] Fabulous691:
yes its laggy, on lockscreen, on program page, everywhere, its less fast...
[G1 Android Development] Fabulous691:
somebody knows???
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
I know ;-)

Going to sleep, but a key word is "sign"
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
You know what?...

It's been about 2 days since I've been running this ROM. I must say it is pretty fast, and I mean I can actually keep this as my everyday ROM. Then again, all the issues some folks have mentioned don't apply to me being that I am a very simple user. I don't care about BT or sms, mms, music, etc.

I am just glad I can navigate without waitin 100 years to get back to the home screen. I had a FC a time or two but nothing serious or annoying. Overall, very fast Hero build and I'm not just blowing smoke.

Impressed.
[G1 Android Development] nephron:
well u cant really do it from the zip because it will mess up the .zip file. Its a pain in the ass cause then u need to sign the zip and all of that.

What i suggest, is to remove them 1 by 1 in terminal once hero is loaded.

in terminal

su

cd /system/sd/app_s

rm PlurkWidget.apk

rm TwitterWidget.apk

etc....
[G1 Android Development] Fabulous691:
thx for help

i don't understand what i must to do:

In recovery mode...what is su..?

thx bro'
[G1 Android Development] Fabulous691:
woops xcuse my newbie question....it means terminal emulator isn't it?
[G1 Android Development] kaotikking:
for all u having speed issues imma keep it short n sweet..... search for "miketaylor00" in his signature he has a "bandaid" USE IT!!!!! it works wonders to help with the speed trust me... i have been using it with this ROM for 2 days now ..... this ROM is what i use for daily use
[G1 Android Development] tinyaznboi:
su is just a command you type in terminal emulator so that you are able to use root commands.

no i can't do anything its just stuck at the white box with the yellow arrow pointin to the g1 image, been like that all day long, i opened up adb but after it says daemon started successfully, other words pops up and then it just disappears.
[G1 Android Development] PMoney4lyfe2k5:
i tried nothing works, im screwed :-\
[G1 Android Development] roguestatuskat:
i keep getting error at line 41 something about a file not existing or something

any help guys?

BTW im tryna use 96 mb linux swap but i dont think that has anything to do with it
[G1 Android Development] feidao:
here is a bug report. can't search people in "people"

when i open "people" contact, and click "seach people", input the name.

than a "force close" error displayed..

annoying
[G1 Android Development] feidao:
Do not use it in most ROM.

it's useless, because of rom's support by itself.
[G1 Android Development] viccyran:
please read. most hero roms (or all of them iirc) use their own swapper defaulted on the rom. don't ruin your installs.
[G1 Android Development] cicihaha001:
Have upgrade, thanks for your hard working
[G1 Android Development] Coderedpl:
Which is the fastest out of the three links posted?

I read that some of you guys say 1.5.0 is?
[G1 Android Development] SoTacMatt:
I did a fresh install of 1.5.1 custom (no java/flash) last night. I then removed some apk / odex I wouldn't need. It's been running well for the last 24hours.

Now, if only bluetooth worked.... :p
[G1 Android Development] osokrayzay:
1.5 is fast for me, hero on steroids

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqAqL1Dkrd8

i may have figured out why my g1 is faster than anyone and its the way i install. i think. still testing
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
wiped sd, repartitioned sd, flashed 1.5.1 (with flash/java), then flashed 1.5.2.

i also am working with a 100mb swap at 100 swappiness. (id recommend staying at 60 tho.)

Heros never been faster and i can honestly say ive tried every hero rom out there.
[G1 Android Development] Vae Hostilis:
umm....is the link for 1.5.2 dead? please dont get pissed if its been answered. i searched and couldnt find anything.

edit: nevermind. I was clicking the wrong link. my bad.
[G1 Android Development] ftmoe:
well..i need some help..

after I flashed 1.51 my SD Card will no longer mount. I click mount after connecting, but I cant see my phone on my computer..

I also re-partitioned my SD card so maybe that has something to do with it?
[G1 Android Development] cire253:
never loaded

So i tried flashing over the 1.51version and the sd card is partitioned correctly and everything works perfect.... except for this rom.. waited for 10 minutes... then..20... then 40... and nothing. eventually ended up flashing back to cyans 4.0.4
[G1 Android Development] rg8rc18:
I got 1.5.1 and its mounting fine.

1.5.2 a bit slower than 1.5.1

btw this rom is amazing!!!

[G1 Android Development] akirah:
All credits are going to Paul (MoDaCo). I've just used jac-ski kernel (as this one is absolutely the best one for G1 at the moment) and modified libraries slightly.
[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:
If your running hero then there is no need to repartition ext. Wipe is on first post.
[G1 Android Development] Muse.Invincible:
The weather loaded fine for me over WiFi. Yet to try it on 3G.
[G1 Android Development] Dror520:
thanks! going to flash soon!
[G1 Android Development] osokrayzay:
Ok by far the best hero release out. I'm loving plurk the widget works very snappy. If this is a taste of what the new drop has in store, wow simply wow. Ugh I'm kind of scared to say but the speed is close to like cm 4.04
[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:
Well I wouldn't go that far lol. So far everything works, no force closes, very responsive.
[G1 Android Development] Muse.Invincible:
This is certainly the most responsive home screens EVER. Loving it.

Thank you Modaco!! this is probably 2x faster than any other build weve seen so far. I dont even think it needs the linux-swap partition. quick question: are those radio's im seeing over at modaco safe to flash for our g1s?

[G1 Android Development] phatman81:
Someone else check this out, but i just tried to take a few photos and there is serious glaring in them. I mean on anything shiny or bright (yellow auto reset fuse in my case). I turned the brightness down, and it helps, but its still totally noticeable. The only lighting i have is a 2 builb flourecent over my workbench. I use my G1 for photos all the time and this is probably the worst quality pics i have seen from it so far. If need examples, i'll try to post some later @ work...

Weather Fix

Wow what a splendid ROM so far, only been on it 10 mins tho...

The weather widget fix is a simple fix found on other posts it goes...

1) Click on where the weather icon should be on the clock

2) Once in the weather app, go to Menu -> Settings.

3) Go to Temperature Scale and change the setting from Celsius to Fahrenheit, then exit and go back in and change back to Celcius (or leave it if you like F).

4) Exit to Home, then remove and re-add the widget..

Should all be working now

i suggest everybody try 128mb swap partition and 90 swappiness editing the user.conf and make sure cc is turned off super fast no loading screens for last hour using it very fluid very smooth
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
You have to be in the recovery console to edit this user.conf right? I have a magic so I don't have access to Alt+X. Any ideas about editing it from within the rom? Should I just load the compcache scripts as a substitute?
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
You can pull and push with adb :)
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
This ION has ALOT of issues being recognized on a windows machine. At the moment even ADB is out of the question.
[G1 Android Development] slimster:
Try repartitioning your as card again and reinstalling. I had the same problem and I had to partion a few times and reinstall. Took 2 tries but got it working. The Rom is outstanding and is running smooth still after 2 days.

i tried turning it on and i get "Unable to start Wi-Fi".

i'm currently running 1.5.2 on a rooted MT3G (i flashed to 1.5.1 and then flashed to 1.5.2 nowipe).
[G1 Android Development] ellopr:
Hi there I have being trying to find a fix for my problem with search and reading through many pages but still haven't found anything. Basically I flashed 1.5.1 and restore a backup of my sms, calls and apk with BackUp for Root users and put up thehtc messages widget. Then when up to 1.5.2. I have both Chompsms y the altual Messages apk. I can not see my previous messages in the Message app, it sit on loading screen when ever I try to see a conversartion. I can see them in Chompsms. The messages widget only shows the last two sms. The worst is that if I receive a txt it shows a notification by means of e green led but no messages in Chompsms or message application.

I love this rom but this is a deal breaker. The worst is that I was waiting for a very important txt that I my have gotten (those you can not call the person and ask them if they txt you) and I know I receive one but I believe because of this is lost forever. I a back on my iphone waiting to see if this can be fixed before I change to twisted or JACs.

Thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] adrake400:
this happened to me youll have to reflash. but i have done a backup using the same app and it worked fine once i reflashed and restored the apps and everything using backup for root users. hope this helps!
[G1 Android Development] Fictionles:
I just made those changes and its improved the performance a bunch. I still get a loading screen exiting a terminal app, but it is much faster compared to using a 96mb swap partition. (1 second versus 5 seconds)

I'm also getting that contact widget bug, where attempting to enter a search causing a FC. Regardless, this build is outstanding.
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
To be honest, I can't reproduce it. I've sent myself 10 messages from different source, and I see all of them in messages widget :/ Few of them came with a 30-40 seconds lag, but can't tell if it was phone or network fault.
[G1 Android Development] abteer:
I am running 1.5 and honestly this is the first Hero rom to give me 100% of my sms. I've been running it for close to 3 days. It is so very responsive it's incredible. Running it with 40MB swap partition. Thank you very much sir.
[G1 Android Development] adrake400:
no problems for me with wi-fi im using it now to post :)
[G1 Android Development] slimster:
Is anyone else having a problem with browser closing on them? It doesn't fc, just closes to home screen. Also I read the post about setting swap to 128 with 90 swappiness, but what is cc? It mentions making sure cc is turned off, I'm drawing a blank, not sure what that is. Can anyone confirm if these settings are recomended?
[G1 Android Development] harpreet1988:
I think it's due to you using a MyTouch3g, and this build is made for the Dream/G1.

The browser closed on me once. But it hasn't happened again. :S
[G1 Android Development] rivryan:
anyone else have an unusally lagy virtual keyboard? it was fine w/ other hero roms but this one it takes a bit to type! other than that, it's perfect (i'm running 1.5, 96 mb swap, class6 8 gig)
[G1 Android Development] flexnix:
Akirah,

Nice job on the rom. First Hero one I even dare to throw on. Its pretty quick. Only things bothering me.

1) In the camera app, I press the corner button on the G1 and it throws me back to the HOME. I have to use the trackball. I guess its easy to get use to.

2) Loading the browser takes a long time and pauses for 3-5seconds. It doesn't even let me press the MENU button to press STOP from loading whichever site I left it on last.

3) The flip clock widget (with weather) loads fine, but the weather portion doesn't load. I had bought the clock w/ weather widget anyway on the market a while back so I use that one instead.

4) The weather widget (blaming HTC) is useless. Everytime I swipe over to that screen its "Updating" and within 5 seconds it gives me the weather.

Other than that the rom is real quick.
[G1 Android Development] tuffCookie:
you're right about this. someone ported the 1.5.1 Dream build to MT3G, which i used. i then flashed the 1.5.2 nowipe upgrade, but forgot that i flashed the Dream version. no wonder the auto-rotate and Wi-Fi weren't working. :p

i flashed back to 1.5.1 and everything works. by far the fastest version of Hero i've used so far. running 96 mb linux-swap with 30 swappiness on an 8 gb class 6 card. lag is almost non-existent!
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
The weather widget works. Turn gps on and just the let the home screen sit for a bit. It takes ahwile to load.
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
It works for me even without GPS... you can also try manually setting location .
[G1 Android Development] GEN3RIC:
Took mine an hour of sitting to suddenly decide to get my location. No big deal really.
[G1 Android Development] Coderedpl:
Is there any changes we need to make to swapiness or something to make it run smooth or just apply the update and thats it?

with all this done what are we suppose to see in the sd/phone storage menu?

I have an 8gb card, what sizes should i see for memory card and internal and are those the only two i should see?
[G1 Android Development] harpreet1988:
Swap is done automatically (during installation/first boot). For your 8gb card, the free space for your memory card should be the free space on the fat32 partition (I'm assuming you formatted your card with 3 partitions, a fat32 partition, an ext2/3 partition, and a linux-swap partition). As for the free space on internal memory, it should be somewhere around 80-90mb.
[G1 Android Development] alnzbail:
this is running kinda laggy for me i have a 4gb sd card

my memory card has less than 400mb the phone has 80

i have partitioned correct so i dont know why this rom is laggy

do i need a bigger sd card

how can i change the swap i dont kno wat it is at and want to know how to change it

theres a script here but is that for terminal or for the boot alt+x
[G1 Android Development] harpreet1988:
Is your 4gb sd card a class 6, class 4, or class 2?
[G1 Android Development] alnzbail:
how do i find out wat class it is?
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
Actually, I have a 8GB class 2 card and it runs fine for me. I think the classes make little difference, in my opinion.
[G1 Android Development] alnzbail:
how can u check the swapiness or change it
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
Look on the micro SD card itself... you'll see a small number in the middle of a circle. That is the class number.
[G1 Android Development] alnzbail:
ok its a 2

which is the best class?

and wats the difference in the classes?
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
Class 6 is the best class. Two is the lowest....

I personally don't recognize any lag due to having a class 2. My ROMs run fine and nothing is out of the ordinary compared to the common issues.

But higher classes equal a better quality SDcard, that's why when you go to Best Buy (or somewhere like that) you'll see two 8GB sdcards... one is $17.95 the other is $24.95. Common sense tells you to go with the lower priced card, but in reality you're buying a lower class card.

No matter to me... they all work the same for what I need them for.
[G1 Android Development] big nu:

@akirah

Where this russian build? I saw that tweet about it being uploaded but i dont see it here or there....
[G1 Android Development] alnzbail:
oh ok well mines laggy kinda bad

like i said tho i have 80mb of mem on the phone

and less than 400 on the sd card

i have well over 600 songs on the sd card so does anyone think that could cause lag or is this just like all the rest hero roms works well for sum and bad for others

also i only have three partitions

for a 4gb card this is wat it says

number start end size type file fla

1 512b 3420mb 3420mb primary fat32 Iba or 1ba

2 3420mb 3932mb 512mb primary ext3

3 3932mb 3965 32.6mb primary linux-swap(v1)

is that wat its supposed to say

i followed this script

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

print (to verfiy we know what size card we are dealing with, the details should be straight forward)

rm 1

rm 2

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 3500

mkpartfs primary ext2 3500 3996

quit

upgrade_fs

reboot recovery
[G1 Android Development] harpreet1988:
As long as you have 3 partitions, it shouldn't be slow.
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
I would increase swap size. 32 is a bit small for Hero builds.
[G1 Android Development] alnzbail:
but it is and i cant find out why should i change the swap and how do u do that cuz if i read right i think i have 32.5 i dont kno really can sumone hlep me out i did post wat i have in a thread above

swappiness

when I partitioned my SD I did a 40mb swap and check it by typing print while in parted, but when I did the check in Terminal

# cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

it displayed that I had 30mb.

If I change it using this method, echo 40 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

will it effect the rest of the SD, ie, fat32 and ext3

But this build is still the fastest hero iv used good job to ALL DEVELOPERS involved all we need now is bluetooth:)
[G1 Android Development] mrmikemcguire:
A

are you running 1.5.1 no java/flash? I was having the same problem. I think it has to do with the java and flash being removed. . A minor bug. I went to 1.5.0 and no problem since then.
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
It's becase I forgot to remove one component ;)
[G1 Android Development] don_dekela:
I dunno, maybe it's me but I'm still having lag when going to the homescreen. I have a swap file of 64MB from 32 about an hour ago and the results are pretty similar. Always the "loading screen" when going to home

I have the following widgets:

Flip clock w/ weather

SMS

calendar

Exchange email

Any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] kaotikking:
what is ur swappiness set to i run from 60 - 80 depending on what im doing... if im out n about for the day it will b 60 .... if im home listening to music on it ill run a script n change it to 80 i have NO loading screens
[G1 Android Development] don_dekela:
I'll give that a shot, what is the default value set to? Was it 10 from my previous recollection?

Haven't done it in a while, but I think I have to edit the value in one of the files correct?

Oh and please no noob comments, I just haven't flashed in awhile ;-)
[G1 Android Development] cire253:
ok...

finally got it working. on 1.51, upgraded to 1.52, but now have a question, which rom is better?

is 1.52 or 2.73.405.5 better?

whats the big difference?
[G1 Android Development] kaotikking:
dont worry... i dont bash cuz every1 was a noob once weda dey admit it or not.

default on the rom is 30..... u have to pull system/bin/user.conf and edit that file then push it back. it also helps it ur swap partition @ 64MB or larger i use 96 ATM also when u pull ur user.conf u might wana edit ur up threshhold to 40 or 45 depending on what u prefer and ur powersaving bias to about 200 only cuz high swap values drain the battery and u have to compensate for such.

HOPEFULLY i made this as simple as possible lol :-D
[G1 Android Development] kaotikking:
i am running 1.52 n i love the speed and performance.... but as stated in the OP 2.73.x.x is just a stock drop with a JAC/ski kernel i have yet to test it but i can tell u for a fact 1.52 is my daily ROM and i have had no probs 3 days later :-D
[G1 Android Development] Weees:
Guys , I tried it on but after it boots up I get this black HTC screen. and nothing happens. When i turn off the screen and turn it back on I can see the unlock screen for Hero, but as soon as I unlock im back to the useless Black HTC Screen and i can nothing their.

Could this have anything to do with my partitions ? I got a 1.6Gb ext3 , 104mb Linux Swap and the rest is the standard FAT32. (I think its fat or wutever is the standard)

My SDCARD is Class 2 (yea , i know that sux)

Please let me know if anyone got a solution to this.
[G1 Android Development] kaotikking:
did u reformat ur ext3????

in recovery console do...

mount system/sd
rm -rf system/sd/*

or

adb shell rm -rf system/sd/*

and give it time to load the rom its gonna take bout 10min
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
thats normal during first boot, give it more time
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
Your ext3 seems a little large, should be around 500MB, not 1.6GB, I don't think you'll ever have enough applications to fill 500MB, much less 1.6GB, try lowering it a bit and trying again. Also, make sure they're in order: FAT32, Ext2/3, Linux-Swap. And like Kaotikking said, trying formatting your ext3, I only waited about 3-4min at the black screen before the setup screen came on.
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
People people... Swappiness =/= Swap size. Swap size is the physical size of the swap file; swappiness is the how often the swap file is accessed, usually 30, but for Hero ROMs something like 70-90 is a good value. Swap size should be around 96-128MB from the suggestions I've seen. You check the swappiness with:

cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

You check swap size (the size of your linux-swap) with:

free

-or-

cat /proc/swaps
