First of all, outstanding rom King.....just have one issue: after first reboot the bottom of lockscreen seems to have gone black. Anyone else having this problem? Thanks for all your hard work brother!
[G1 Android Development] jdscully:
Just did this and it seems to have helped, no more loading screen coming from the browser. I guess time will tell if it works 100% of the time.

Not sure if this is working as well. This is the first time I have heard anyone complain about loading screens. It doesn't seem as fast as 1.6 and I am experiencing way more lag. Hopefully the above change fixed it for me.

I am using k9 mail, it has IMAP Idle feature, should I use imap idle or set to check email every 10 to 15 minutes? I am looking for save battery, which is better for that? Thanks

yeah cc_backingswap_en=0 means backing swap is disabled. you wanted my full user.conf so here it is ;) slightly modified from kingklick's but i find it to be a little bit better with more intensive apps and multi-tasking. When i press home from the browser, there's no real lag, although it doesn't transition into home and slightly slow for two homescreen swipes.

FYI: the backing swap swappiness matters for the compcache settings even if you're not using backing swap. i checked in terminal sh /system/bin/swap -s it showed swappiness 60 for compcache when i had 60 in the swappiness. i'm finding 45 and/or 60 swappiness to be best now though not too sure which is better just yet, 40 being too slow and 80 slightly laggy
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Well the thing is CC is better when you arent running as many tasks and have few things running in the background.

Swap is for having many things running and switching between them.

Obviously this is a very crude explanation but you get the idea

Use the taskiller to end all the things you arent using...

Thats how CC works though, if many people gripe I'll go back to swap in 1.8 for sure.

The less it refreshes, the less battery it uses
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
CC is fine... about to flash lycoln's blacked-out 1.7. i adjusted the settings slightly and find them to be better in benchmarks than your standard settings. also CC alone is faster than any type of SD swap, because there seems to be lag using the flash memory as swap idk or maybe as CC is directly in the RAM. did i mention 1.7 is CRAZY FAST??? i'm removing my swap partition before flashing now :D
[G1 Android Development] isikh:
How do I know if I'm using linux swap or backing swap? You said to leave it alone..I know I have 96 MB swap space created from Amon_Ra's recovery automatically..that's backing swap?
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
the partition is a linux swap partition. you are using whichever has a 1 next to it in the user.conf
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Yah but your partition isnt enableed...

Its using Comp cache

its all controlled with the user.conf
[G1 Android Development] jdscully:
Did the change suggested by Prince.siraj and it seems to be really quick now.

I have been only using 2 widgets and I do kill all the tasks that I am not using, on 1.6 I had a widget on every screen (testing purposes) and experienced no slow down / loading screens. I get that CC is suppose to be better and everyone's phone does act different, just didn't seem to be cutting it for me. I love the transparent bar / lock screen (was having to do that manually before).

Hope you understand this is feedback and not a complaint. Thanks for the hard work.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
O of course!

I just wanted to explain myself while giving you an answer

I am nothing without feedbak

you are not complaining at all :)
[G1 Android Development] icpeanuts:
Thank you King and others for making this great ROM. I am staying with 1.7 for the next 2 weeks/1 month. Even if 1.8, 1.9 or 2.0 comes out, I am staying with this build for a while. Unless something magically happens like a fix for the sliding keyboard. :)

Thank you.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
no problem man glad I fit your needs :D

And thanks to the few of you that have donated. You have no clue how much I appreciate it :)
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
constructive criticism is indeed good. explanations of different sides and making logical deductions are even better :D yah idk i'm finding the compcache with a few minor adjustments to be as fast as if not faster than the swap, no lag from the browser anything. but for those who still need more memory than compcache, swap is better i guess
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
yah ill tweak the user.conf to be similar to your settings in 1.8
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
ADMIN/MOD

please remove my poll along with the icon and "Poll:" on my Thread

thanks in advance
[G1 Android Development] njgheewala:
Thank King for the greatest ROM, this is stupid question but how to put int he new HERO led.apk in 1.7? Don't want to re-flash and all when you implement this in 1.8...thanks in advance!
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
1. Uninstall the "heroled" app

2. Download "Astro" from the market

3. Put the newest HeroLED on your sd root

4. Open astro and click on "heroled" on your sd root

5. Install
[G1 Android Development] isikh:
So I should make it a 1? See bolded it was 0 and I should change it to one in order to use my 96MB linux swap partition, made with Amon_Ra's recovery?

linux_swap{

linux_swap_en=1 # enable(1) or disable(0) linux swap

In order to enable it would I do the former?

So would one be better off using compcache and disabling swap and swappiness? Also, what do you mean for those who still need more memory than compcache swap is better..what's that mean?
[G1 Android Development] njgheewala:
King you will kill me now, How do I uninstall???:o
[G1 Android Development] Dalamar1320:
Once again. Awesome Rom.

Just a quick note, I end tasks constantly, but if I have more then about 3 Hero widgets, and I exit the browser, I get the HTC load screen for about 5 seconds and have to wait for my main screen to re-render, about 15 seconds. I will play with various settings in my user.conf and report back.
[G1 Android Development] jdscully:
Been running this for a couple hours now and I have to say.. DANG.. its is fast... no loading screens, the widgets do not even need to refresh, they are just there. With those changes I would say this is the fastest ROM I have used (including cupcake roms).
[G1 Android Development] lakerfan123:
king, i have a quick question... u know that new mods-only thread about sprint apps for hero like nfl, sprint tv, etc... If i understand correctly, this new dump has these apps???

could these really be implemented into 1.8 and work on t-mobile??? I know you guys have done some amazing things with root, but is live streaming tv really possible just with a new dump? THAT would be INSANEE!!

Please tell us what this new dump is all about and what new features/apps it brings! :)

Streaming tv would be a DREAM come true!

Definitely something that would make people reflash no matter how much they like their rom! haha
[G1 Android Development] njgheewala:
Anyone know where the HEROled.apk is I checked in system/app but its empty, I don't know where else would it be? I am using astro file manager and I wanna install the new 2.0.3 that came out like today.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
View the quote above. JUst tweak the user.conf accordingly... It'll be fixed in 1.8.....

I'm going to play with it in a little bit :D
[G1 Android Development] lakerfan123:
lol i reallyyy hope this is something big cooking! Live streaming tv (even if wifi-only)... i can just dream for now.. haha
[G1 Android Development] isikh:
Didn't want this to go unanswered..

So I should make it a 1? See bolded it was 0 and I should change it to one in order to use my 96MB linux swap partition, made with Amon_Ra's recovery?

linux_swap{

linux_swap_en=1 # enable(1) or disable(0) linux swap

[G1 Android Development] njgheewala:
Can some one please :o tell me where the HEROled.apk is? I have looked into the system/app and system/sd and I cannot find it. I am using astro file manager. Maybe I am using the incorrect file manager...I cannot find anything in the system/app and I can only go as far ass system/sd. please help!:(
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Hey

/system/sd/app

Also, I have a 169mb swap partition with that and cc enabled with out backing swap and everything loads instantly. If you want my user.conf ill post it
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
King....I don't think my phone likes your ROMs...lol. After I couldn't get my ADB to work, I reformatted and loaded Maxima's ROM, ADB worked fine. Today, I wanted to try your 1.7 so I reformatted again, and flashed. Everything went smoothly like the last time, went to try ADB...and the same thing, all screwed up... :(

Weird. :p
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
FANS!

Got some sprint Hero apps working on the G1, probably saphire too!!!
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
What apps? I am curious.

Where is the cc disk at? In the ram :confused:?
[G1 Android Development] lakerfan123:
WOW! king, thats GREAATT NEWS!

You have them working over 3g also? :)

What do u have working so far? nav? tv?
[G1 Android Development] njgheewala:
woooohooooo!!!!!! like everyone is asking which apps?

btw: I cannot get past /system/sd when i go to sd there is nothing there, again this is using astro file manager
[G1 Android Development] lakerfan123:
im pretty sure hes talking abt "sprint experience" apps like sprint tv, nav, nfl, nascar...
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Yeah it doesn't show up in astro.

If your trying to install the heroled.apk do adb install -r heroled.apk

If your trying to remove it

su

rwsystem

cd /system/sd/app

ls

find it then do an rm ---------------.apk

If that doesn't work just find a root explorer and use that to remove it.
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
fastest hero rom ive used, apps prioritizing and bfs makes call answering is amazingly fast.
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
sprint nav.apk is working so far on the hero roms. and the nfl.apk.. sprint tv doesn't seem to work though... the nav for the sprint is alittle slow but i'm seeing if it will actually function as a nav. it even accesses the gps the way it should also. how cool is that
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Yah its really something else....

I want to include it in 1.8 but am not looking for a C&D!!!
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
Ya I'm really impressed with the nav. It talks and all lol. To bad we can't get the sprint tv working or atleast the radios.. even the menu button works when u hit it within the app. The nav works better than any other the android market has and it is free baby free. Lol
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
more swap benchmarking

Hey king I been doing more benchmarking... I found that CC works fine if you set it with disksize 95 memlimit 48 and swappiness 120. It seems that higher swappiness with compcache has none of the performance degradation and all of the enhancements that swap had with high swappiness. I might try and see if 200 does anything. Tried 80 and it was slower in fact. :) just wanna keep you and others informed and hopefully help you too.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
I was saying the same exact things to another dev...

We just need to get TV working
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Yah thanks... I'm going to keep playing with it and have it figured out by the time 1.8 hits obviously

@prince the highest swap value is 100
[G1 Android Development] SteveRiley:
Installed 1.7 and configuring now.

There's renewed discussion on swap, compcache, compcache+backingswap. I see the defaults are changed in user.conf. Prince, have you moved away from your prior preference of swappiness 60 and 169MB backingswap? I'm sticking with that for a while to see how it goes.
[G1 Android Development] jtroye32:
i think i'm going to skip 1.7 and wait for 1.8 with the tweaked user.conf and possible sprint apps.
[G1 Android Development] SteveRiley:
Checkin providers and services?

What do these do, really? Looks like there's a Google checkin service and an HTC checkin service. I'm thinking about removing them, I don't like the idea of my phone doing random data stuff behind the scenes.
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Just disable it, if you remove them completely then you might not beable to sign into google. . :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] icpeanuts:
I disabled Touch Input from the Settings, When I go back and tried to re-enable it, the Settings crashed. Is there anyway to fix it?
[G1 Android Development] SteveRiley:
I mv-ed the .apks to <name>.dontrun and rebooted. Sign-in failed. Moved them back and Google is happy. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to get used to even more privacy erosion :)
[G1 Android Development] love1785:
First off King, you are the MAN! Second, I got a small issue here...After about 4 hours my text sound notifications stop working. My LED and Vibrate work but the problem is the sound does not come on when I get a text, I still get phone call ringer sounds to come when I get a call. Everything will work fine if I reboot but doing that 6 times a day sucks. I have NO idea what the issue is here and have been using the stock messaging app that came with the rom. Any one else having this problem? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
just do a FULL wipe and re flash
[G1 Android Development] SteveRiley:
1x4 calendar widget doesn't update

I'm loving this ROM, thanks King.

Noticed this in 1.6, and it's still here in 1.7. I put the 1x4 HTC calendar widget on my home screen. It says "No events today or tomorrow" -- which isn't true, I've got several events tomorrow on two calendars (syncing three total). Any clues how to get this working?
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Hey king did you ever figure out the background quality issue as well as the contact picture quality issue?
[G1 Android Development] lakerfan123:
hey king.. i installed sprint nav... but since its provided by telenav, is it free? i just wanna make sure i dontt get a crazy expensive bill from t-mobile.. lol

is there any way they can charge me on my account?
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Dont work for T-Mobile homeslice :D

If you have unlimited data, I dont see a problem
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Hey guys good news and bad news....

Good= I think I'm putting the finishing touches on 1.8 and its something else let me tell you ;)

Bad= I jus released 1.7 yesterday and it means a wipe/reflash :p

You tell me if its a positive or negative thing overall ;)
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
I'd say go for it. The more updates you do the more you how to the community how much you care and how much this is supported :D;).
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
Oh ok I mean 100 swappiness then thanks. yah those are the best settings. Without a swap partition that is...

Yeah I'm looking at performance beyond ruining the sd card and I've found it to be the same as if not better than using compcache and backing swap :D so 95 disksize, 48 memlimit, and 100 swappiness are the best settings without a swap partition, with it is any disksize, 18 memlimit, and 60 swappiness
[G1 Android Development] mackster248:
Go for it!

Definitely go for it King! Looking forward to whatever you have next =P. Loving 1.7 thus far, just getting FC's here and there when going to the home screen from several apps like the Browser, Handcent, and twitter. Any advice on what I can do to fix it?
[G1 Android Development] t1h5ta3:
fresh sd card, only thing on it is the rom, fat32/ext4/ls

all went well, wiped, repaird just in case, wiped flashed.

about normal 5-7 min initial boot, got the lock screen, didnt touch it untill a few min after it went to sleep on its own. opened it and got a blank screen... no sighn in etc?

reflashing again to see if it was an abnormality...?

< edit > 2 reboots and finaly got setup....? wierd....

running good tho!

checking settings it shows jac's kernel? i thought you were moving to CM's due to reboot issues ?
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
+1 :) 10char
[G1 Android Development] carnegie0107:
Beter prioritization?

King, I was thinking, maybe instead of the 'phone prioritizer' app, you could include miketaylor's nifty little script for speeding up the phone, since you wouldn't need an app in cluttering up the drawer, and it really improves performance if you use it to make touchflo faster. Or is that what this app is? Does it just help the phone, or also music and/or touchflo?

edit: Yes I know I spelled 'better' wrong
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
Phone prioritizer is miketaylor's app and oh yes it helps
[G1 Android Development] ChrisChavez:
Exactly. Having a screen protector (no matter HOW thick) is NO excuse for laggy rosie or accidental clicks. Its the ROM or BFS.... :(
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
hello, it is that script in fact....

Thing is, some say it conflicts with BFS so I included it as an app in case some people did not want to use it. Im all about keepin everyone happy

:D

also, 1.8 is being tuned as we speak
[G1 Android Development] after3ffect:
definately pop 1.8 as soon as you had it up, actually was skipping 1.7 just to hope that a 1.8 would pop up sometime sooner rather than later.
[G1 Android Development] carnegie0107:
That's what I was wondering. I much prefer it without the app, being able to customize it and such. But, whatever floats everyone's boat.

I know, I'm waiting excitedly! 1.7 is already so awesome. It's just disgustingly fast, I can't imagine what more could be done... but you keep amazing me.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:

Thats the idea ;)
[G1 Android Development] Krazi Bluntz:
Jea that happened to me, just awake the phone by pressing menu and the sign in will come up in a few seconds.

Great rom though King keeps getting better and better :) ... love the transparent notification bar and transparent lockscreen but wheres the heroled preference app (where you could pick the color of thr led) it was on lycoln's blacked out theme ... i dont remember if it was on the original 1.6?
[G1 Android Development] carnegie0107:
This rom includes a newer heroled that will use whatever color led is called by the app that created it. For example, in handcent, you can pick your blink color, and this app will use that color.
[G1 Android Development] Krazi Bluntz:
o ok thanks :) ... cause in 1.6 for example I picked blue and when I put it to charge the led was blue and when it was done charging it turned green etc., when I installed 1.7 and put my phone to charge it didnt have a light so i thought it didnt have it
[G1 Android Development] anddep:
yup u got that right! one thing was the loading screen popped up when changin wallpaper.. went in user.conf and saw backing_swap disable so i enable it and this ish is runnin like them real hero video's.

great job! BOW TO THE KING!
[G1 Android Development] mackster248:
How do you get the Sprint nav on this ROM?
[G1 Android Development] t1h5ta3:
yha, i finaly make the swithch to 1.7, gett accounts set up, apps downloaded fresh, etc... and the first tweet that comes across is 1.8 is uploading...:rolleyes:

oh well... i guess ill see whats up in the am... ;)
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
OK guys!!! 1.8 is out!!! GET IT WHILE ITS HOT! :D
[G1 Android Development] mackster248:
Thanks King! Will flash asap =D
[G1 Android Development] :
Flashing it now!! :WEEEE!!! )`

anyway is bluetooth working??
[G1 Android Development] ArionRickAllen:
V1.8

Just finished flashing. LED lit green while setting up social accounts (Pain in the ass). then noticed the battery was getting low so I plugged it in. LED turn bright red. Nice to see the LED's working well. It seems to be just like V1.7. What will be the most notable difference?
[G1 Android Development] kassy_ok:
KiNg you are the man !!! I just flashed yesterday 1.7 and after removing a few stuff from it it is soooo fast !!! I cannnot belive it myself, it fits the g1 like a glove !!! Excellent work...

Now...are we missing something on 1.8? Coz i get the flashing frenzy every time a new rom is out :D

Thank you !!!
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
How are my fans enjoying 1.8??? :D
[G1 Android Development] :
Had this problem where the led won't go off. Had it plug in to charge but when plugged off, red led won't go off. any idea?
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
probably just have to reboot
[G1 Android Development] :
Thanks king. anyway just hope thy this is a one-off issue otherwise the rom is running perfectly fine and FAST!
[G1 Android Development] waqas.sonic:
flashing now king thanks !
[G1 Android Development] after3ffect:
ditto. thx.
[G1 Android Development] MoxFulder_CH:
this is my first KingRom and it seems to just work fine.

Do I need to change the default user.conf settings ? I guess no.

King : You should perhaps add on the first page of the thread the recommended swap size for the linux-swap partition.
[G1 Android Development] Rawdi:
hi guys. thanks for all your hard work. keep it up. loving the new roms but there is one thing i cant understand. when someone rings me it takes long until my phone rings. by the time i pick it up it goes to my voicemail. i can turn it off but i wana keep it on. is there a way for it to make it faster? or if theres a way to sort this please let me know.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
USe the "phone prioritzer" app I included in teh ROM :D
[G1 Android Development] nicotera:
Great Rom!

This is the fastest I have flashed to date!

I have only one issue that I might have overlooked, the wifi does not work.

Is there a terminal entry I can do to load wifi?

I'm in the USA, Florida to be exact and might be a european issue.

Also I do not see the microsoft office app which can view and edit word docs and spreadsheets.

Other than that, I highly recommend this build as it has no lag on widgets!

I will be donating to your work!

Thanks again.

Frank
[G1 Android Development] Rawdi:
sorry king but how do i use this and what settings do i use. thanks
