I want it to be heard and viewed so that others can hear and read - that I now have this ROM installed and it's "RUNNING BEAUTIFULLY!"
[G1 Android Development] Shatterv2:
Wait a few hours until it fails.
[G1 Android Development] Frogzilla:
why the cynicism?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
He's a big fan of another hero Rom. Just like I an to this one.

Also, glad to hear it's working now, you were just using compcache which doesn't always work to well with hero roms. Even if it did I'm a huge fan of linux-swap
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
if you use compcache without backing swap there's no real problems... kinda slower than linux swap but it works fine.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Yeah, well speed is good but linux-swap is also more reliable for me. Also, eclair hero is not to far off, King already has it

P.s. Hello from Black Friday Madness
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
ooh nice. lol what line are you in? gotta love Black Friday :D one of the few days that Apple takes $0.05 off their normal prices... i wanna get a macbook after they update to i7 architecture
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Lol

Good luck with finding one of those, apples are to high for me i stick to dell/hp/alienware/ect :p
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
eh i find Dells to be CRAP, HP a little better, since Dell now owns Alienware idk about them... but Apples do look the nicest and are the most efficient...
[G1 Android Development] Frogzilla:
i have a couple of problems with this build. nothing major but something that gets annoying when perfection is the only goal. we'll tackle one at a time...

here's the scenario:

after accessing an application, lets use the mail application as an example, going back to the home screen takes and unusually long time and most of the time it even goes through a soft boot...before the home screen loads.

i have a log attached, from the moment of pressing the ESC button to get back to the home screen... the wait may take up to a minute. the dalvikvm gets touched 3 times before loading.

is this something that happens to all HERO builds for the G1 or is this something that can be tweaked out?
[G1 Android Development] dweller88:
Do you have your keyboard open when you press the home key?

If so this is a known issue with all hero ROMS.

You need to have it closed before you press home.

Sorry if you already know this.

Just trying to help....
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
At that moment Target, but Best Buy was the worst the check out line went outside of the door, after going around the store

Woah, I have a dell and it's perfect, Inspiron 1545

What size is your swap, one that is too small or too big will do that, I would try 96 or 128, those are the optimal sizes
[G1 Android Development] Frogzilla:
keyboard is not open.
[G1 Android Development] g1doobie:
I can't wait for the 2.1 hero to be released.u can get a bit of info and a few screenshots on Kings Twitter.
[G1 Android Development] Frogzilla:
swap file size was the problem - i had a default swap file size of 32mb, when the HERO build needs 3x that amount. the machine is running very well now.

thanks to all for the breadcrumbs.

King,

Is there a way to include the Dev Tools and Spare Parts configuration options into a Hero build?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
No problem, but now you know so you should be good to go for any future flashes
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Hey there people lycoln was kind enough to make me a status bar with a textured background. I thought I should share.

Here's it edited to include the blur animations:

Download (http://www.4shared.com/file/161211902/8a4d031d/framework-res.html

)and:

adb-

adb remount

adb push <path-to>\framework-res.apk /system/framework

adb shell reboot

terminal (have on the root of your sd)-

rwsystem

cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework

And reboot.

This is with the reg. animations and is straight from lycoln. Just download and use the same instructions as before (http://tinyurl.com/ykohdyg)
[G1 Android Development] peaman427:
what's the best ext for this rom? 2 3 4?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
I use 3 and have had no problems. People say 2 is faster, but it also has a higher chance of getting corrupted. And ext 4 has the least chance of getting corrupted
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Ive used 3/4 but four seemed faster to me, 2 gave me some problems.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Really, I think that ext3 is faster. Guess it just depends
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
oh cool lol. yeah i guess maybe that's why you get a dell straight from the website and not a 3-year-old one from best buy and stuff... lol

people seriously EXT3 is the best mix of speed and non-corruption along with full compatibility. Not everyone/everything supports EXT4. so stick with EXT3. EXT4 isn't that much faster, if ANY
[G1 Android Development] Datblkbro:
Wat is this exactly for???
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
to use manup's version of rosie..
[G1 Android Development] Datblkbro:
Oh ok, but I been using the manup's rosie.. I just pushed the Rosie.apk from manup.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
No it's not for that, it gives the status bar background have a textured pattern. And one has blur bounce animations the other doesn't.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
I thought everyone was just using manup's rosie for that.sorry:o
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
No, status bar is in the framework-res in /system/framework. Your thinking of the application tab, which is in Rosie

[G1 Android Development] Michaelr219:
to a degree... but i have too have a class 2 and mine is running very quickly... just make sure to use set cpu to max... and to also use swapper (96mb, 60 or 80 swappiness... your preference)

ive used both these settings on all the king roms and mine are flying... i have a mt3g. although, now that i think about it, our phones have a lot more mem than the g1, so everything i just said might be obsolete for you haha... try it out and report back :) if not, hopefully someone else can add to this further
[G1 Android Development] djluis48:
I have a Swap, 96mb...also, where i change the CPU clock settings?
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:

[G1 Android Development] djluis48:

[G1 Android Development] Michaelr219:

[G1 Android Development] endre_dude:
:(

Hey guys, been wantin' to ask u a question about this weird and really annoying bug i keep gettin' on this rom, which happens to be my personal fav rom :|

Here goes : when i copy my sim contacts over to the phone, most of them have "/1" after the actual names, 'coz a previous phone of mine named'em like that. The ones that don't have "/1" are not copied at all to the phone...no matter what i do..even if i go after them individually :|

Same goes for any new sim contacts..or anything that does not have that "/1" after the name...anyone else getting this bug ? ( I always get it..and trust me I've wiped, repartitioned, reinstalled the rom tens of times..literally )
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Has it happened on other hero roms, or just this one. I haven't imported sim contacts since the first day I got my g1, I let Google do the work now
[G1 Android Development] endre_dude:
Well to tell you the truth..i haven't really tried it on other hero roms except for one..and i think it was the same. ( Generally i didn't get to the copying contacts part, 'coz the other hero roms are just too slow and don't swipe smoothly enough for my taste and they got wiped fast :D )

As for the google contacts...the sim / contacts also only got partially copied, and that part of them that got copied ( about 85% ) gets copied again and again for some reason :| so now I have them like 3x each..so i have about 600 google contacts now and I'm obviously not ever going to pick them out one by one and delete 400 useless contact clones...
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
That actually happened to me once, where they wouldn't show up. tRY PRESSING MENU AND CHOOSING VIEW, THAT'S HOW i FIXED IT

Shoot kept hitting caps lock and don't feel like rewriting that sentence a 6th time
[G1 Android Development] endre_dude:
:)) come on..I'm not retarded..of course i chose which contacts to be shown, by pressing view...I know what I'm doing / talking about here.. and the contacts are numbered..it says 594 google contacts..so it's not about that..the issue is the copying from sim which only works for the contacts that are named with /1 at the end..
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Now you make me want to check, I'm sure your old phone did something to your simcard though. If it added the /1 and now only those with /1 will show, then it's prob. a problem with your sim
[G1 Android Development] endre_dude:
Hmm..ok..I'll try another sim..thx for the tip.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
king, have I ever told you how much I love this build? I haven't flashed anything in forever, unless it was a reflash because of a new sdcard. This seems to be the fastest hero rom that is also stable at the same time. I congratulate you and the release of your 2.1 hero is going to be stupid amazing, can't wait.
[G1 Android Development] endre_dude:
Yeah so I tried another sim..same sh1t...:|

plus, after deleting all my google contacts ( after endless error messages about too much contacts trying to be deleted and failing..got it done from the web -> gmail-> contacts...) and trying to import them from my sim again, it only copies a small amount of contacts ( 18 or 19 ) and then stops, no matter how many times i try..it's driving me fkin' crazy :mad:

I think it's because it's not syncing and being retarded and only copying the last new contacts since a sync successfuly made some while ago...but i can't get it to sync..no way , no how..not manually..not auto..:|

[G1 Android Development] Furgy:
Hello Guys,

I have successfully flashed the Rom Version 2.3 on my HTC Magic 32B.

I also have the right SPL and the 3 Partitions in the right order.

But: I can't activate the Wi-Fi ... The HTC Magic tries about 20sec to turn it on, then it says "Can't activate Wi-Fi"

Can anyone Help me fixing this problem?

Thx.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
flash bfs230
[G1 Android Development] Furgy:
Can you tell me how?

Well, thanks alot! :)

Now everything works. :)
[G1 Android Development] ckien6:
thats great good to hear man
[G1 Android Development] downtrodn:
Can someone tell me how i can do this step?

3 Partitions in this order: Fat32, Ext 1/2/3/4, Linux-Swap

i have the new Ra's recovery, and i know how to do a partition, but i was never explained which is fat, linux and ext 1,2,3,4

I normaly partition the SD with..

128mb

512mb.

the rest is fat.

I have a MT3G with a *gb class 6.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Fat is your memory for music and stuff

ext is for apps

and linux-swap is to speed up the rom
[G1 Android Development] downtrodn:
Thanks, now am i setting this up right? And how do i set up Linux swap?

I wipe.. partition, cache and dev..

PartitionSD

128mb

512mb

This is the only way i know how to install the roms.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
First Wipe

Then your going to need to go to console with nothing on your sd, then do these commands

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

rm 1

rm 2

rm 1

print (make sure there are no partitions)

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 (352 less than the size of your sd)

mkpartfs primary ext2 (the number found in the problem above) (96 less than the size of your sd)

mkpartfs primary linux-swap (The end of the problem above) (end of your sd)

print (make sure they were made)

quit

reboot recovery

Wipe

Go back to console

upgrade_fs

reboot recovery

wipe

check file sys.

flash
[G1 Android Development] downtrodn:
Thanks again..

I know the console is for the G1, how could I do this on a MT3G?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
You'll need adb
[G1 Android Development] Shatterv2:
Amon ras new recovery 1.4 has interactive partitioning go check it out!
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
I prefer Cyanogen's 1.4, it was the one i got when I first rooted and it's what I'm comfortable with. It's how I learned many of the commands I know today, I can now partition without even thinking about it.
[G1 Android Development] Shatterv2:
True. I like amon its much quicker to do things

Hmm this rom wasent fast at all when i was on it.
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
interactive? wow i hadn't tried that yet. have it
[G1 Android Development] jmariconda:
hey thsi si a really nice rom but is it possible to get gps and 3G on it cause i really liked having those:confused:
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
They work, however if you have a mytouch you'll need the bfs230 patch. Search the thread as I have given the link to it multiple times, for this same problem. Just flash it and you should be good to go
[G1 Android Development] jaestoner01:

I have a mytouch 3g

Running id latest Rom but

Hero .4 but the link is broken

Can you help pls .thanx
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Search the thread for bfs230, I've given a link to the patch before.

It will fix wifi, orientation, and gps on a mt3g

Go to his twitter and look for a link to a megaupload on there

I have a problem with the MARKET. When i try to install apps i get just the starting downloading , but the download never starts. Is there any fix for this?

[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
If yoour on wifi turn that off then reboot, and if that's not it the n reboot while they are downloading. And if that doesn't work then reflash while they are downloading and they will download after setup
[G1 Android Development] jaestoner01:
koo...

Thanx jAguirre

[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:

[G1 Android Development] mat_pav:
I tried the 1 and 2 suggestion but the market download doesn't work. I don't understand the 3 suggestion but i wont flash another time the rom because that doesn't make sense to me. I have this problem with all KiNgxKxROM Hero roms. Any other suggestion?

[G1 Android Development] tman7510:
What are the optimal seetings for this rom

I'm wondering what the best settings are for this rom. Kings version 2.3 is great but it lags with auto-rotate and keyboard. It also take a whiel for the ringer to kick on. I can see I have a call before I here the ringer...strange...

So I'm using kings latest 2.3 rom with a 8gig class 6 sd with 96mb swap partition. What can I do to speed things up.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
You seem to be expecting the same speed found in roms like cyan?

Have you already forgotten the HW limits of G1/Mytouch?

You must consider the G1 has only 192 ram compared to 288 in Hero.Also king stopped working on this...He made a 2.1 eclair hero roms that he's working on..Why do you need everything to be so fast and instant?:confused: Do you need me to pull up a vid from when G1 first came out? Did you forget all those bugs that had to be fixed, this rom is hellalot faster then 1.1 android on released G1's from nov 08.

First of all Thanks King for this very very speedy rom also looking forward to your future projects. Had to revert to another Rom (SenseHero 1.4) because after completely wiping my SDcard and flashing this Rom many times the Wifi still will not start on my 32B magic. If there are any other pointers from community on how I can resolve this issue. I will definately revert back to King's Rom.

I have done a full wipe along with Dalvik and ext and battery cache, rotate even redone the partitioning on my sdcard after flashing the rom I start the wifi it does not come on at all after trying 5 - 10 attempts still a no go for me.
