KiNgxKxRom w/ Normal Hero Bootscreen

Here took the time to repack the ROM to remove the boot screen and add the normal boot screen w/ sounds:

KiNgxKxRom w/ Normal Hero Boot

**This is a full update, so do all the steps necessary to flash a full update**

I personally like the Boot KingK :p
[G1 Android Development] Reignzone:
Dude, seriously...ease up on that absolutely ridiculous boot image. That thing is just obnoxious.

When I flashed this ROM earlier, I was quickly disappointed by the site of that, not to mention the .mp3 file that is a complete disaster playing in the background while the boot is in-progress!

So, after getting through that mind-**** to the build itself...sluggish to say the least. Definitely NOT based from MCR 2.2! There's no way. Trust me, there shouldn't be a People Search force close, nor any TouchFlo force closes. Oh, and certainly not any "htc.provider.com" issues either.

This first build is a train-wreck boss. Needs work.

Reason for my honesty: You took a virtually perfected build like MCR 2.2, and ****ing killed it with all this nonsense you threw on top of it.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Hmmm seems like your the only one who feels this way. And i already had someone put the stock boot images and sounds back. Someone need to chill :rolleyes:

No one else is saying anything about FC's :p
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Put my ROM with stock boot sounds and images in the original post :cool:
[G1 Android Development] lycoln:
This ROM is seriously very quick and this is one of the first Hero builds that I haven't had any force close problems on (much like the MoDaCo ROM).

Sorry, didn't realize you had it up (on the first page). :o
[G1 Android Development] tengtengvn:
I have about 50+ apps installed and I haven't seen any FC yet. This ROM is fast but the battery life is terrible. Thanks Mr. King... you did a good job.:D

/im still waiting for Reignzone to release his first ROM... :'D j/k
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Thanks so much for the support guys. People like you keep me going :)

Use task manager to kill ur tasks... exclude HEROled though or you'll lose LED's :cool:

also tweak the cpu settings with the provided app... set min and max frequency to 245 when ur not using your phone :)
[G1 Android Development] :
youre an a hole the rom works fine for every1 else so stop *****in and go f*ck yourself :D
[G1 Android Development] jjeleven12:
wouldnt using "setCPU" to control the phones frequency conflict with the seetings in the user.conf?
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
I didn't see this posted anywhere else, but it seems that the HTC_IME doesn't have auto correct within the sms application. I pushed the one form MoDaCo 1.51 back over, and it seems that the auto-correct is working on that one, but its a little slow and I wanted to try out the new "optimized" one to see if it was any faster. Is this problem just me or does anyone else have it too?
[G1 Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
I believe compcache doesn't work right now. When I enabled just CC in the user.conf, there was no swap in the "free" terminal output...
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
you need to enable backing swap as welll for it to show up
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
I can include the one with auto correct, its just bigger and not as fast :(

Anyways, I'm out for the night.. Will work more on the rosie edits and other schtuff ;)
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
No, its fine. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a problem with just me. I can just push the auto-correct one myself, thanks though. I agree with you, its not as fast, but with a keyboard this size, if you're trying to send off a quick reply, its actually slower if I have to backtrack and correct all my mistakes.

BTW, I actually do prefer the multi-touch browser. What can I push back to make it multi-touch?

One more question: How do I use the renice command in this ROM? In the past versions I have always typed:

renice -20 -u HTC_IME.apk

but in this version, I get an error if I type the same command. What's the correct syntax to use if I wanted to set HTC_IME to the highest priority?

EDIT: Nvm, I figured out the renice command.
[G1 Android Development] hdubli:
i get error "Rosie.apk" corrupt..can anyone help..
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
Try re-downloading the ROM, could just be a corrupted download.
[G1 Android Development] FREAKJAM:
htc.provider.com issues indeed in this rom here. can't refresh tweets for example.

can i fix this?
[G1 Android Development] yourtravelboy:
I've been getting the same error on every hero rom I've tested today. I'm don't think its just this rom.

Edit: I found this very interesting. It may answer the com.htc.provider error issue

http://mashable.com/2009/09/21/twitpocalypse-ii-update/

And apparently we're not alone lol

thanks for the heads up.

Modaco found a fix! @PaulOBrien: Users of @HTC Peep, clear the cache and you're set!

It Works!!!

Shouldn't need one..... Would still have one just in case you want one at some point..
[G1 Android Development] cmsweet21:

that was classic!
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
awesome have been running drizzy's since he eliminated swap and it's the fastest Hero I've used but I haven't tried yours yet what do you use cc with backing swap, cc, or swap?
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
CC...this is 10 characters now
[G1 Android Development] mghtyred:
This looks tasty, Klick! Will have to give it a look see tomorrow. ;)
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:

[G1 Android Development] MrOuch:
If i wipe and update rom, will I have to resync my facebook social network contacts or does it sync with my google account?
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Just log into it in the wizard and it will sync it
[G1 Android Development] MrOuch:
alright, thanks for the fast response.

[G1 Android Development] kassy_ok:
Hey, i would like to switch to this rom but, i have a few questions.

Is the comp-cache enabled by default?

Do i need to disable my swap from the user.conf and enable comp-cache?

Di i have to delete my linux-swap partition ?

Thanks, i'm a bit of a n00b :D
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
nope! Just do a FULL wipe and flash!
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Ok fans, Im out for the night... let me know what you all think of 1.7 hmmmmm!

I know you'll love it

you have no idea how much work went into this build ;)

love you all! :D
[G1 Android Development] Sowulo:
Nice... stuck in the hero animation boot-loop again... this is getting old quick... I've done all the steps (3 times now) and I get the same action. I know it takes a few minutes to setup everything, but it has been looping for 15 minutes now (5 mins the first time about 10 the second, now working on 15 for the 3rd time).

T-Mobile G1

Recovery - RA-dream-v1.2.3

Radio - 2.22.19.26I

SPL - 1.33.2005

SD - 4GB Kingston SDHC Class4

Partitioned using this link. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4502330&postcount=9228

Then I reboot and pull the sdcard and copy the zip to it, reboot into recovery, wipe data, update and reboot.

What am I not getting right? It seems like every rom I try to install is just looping on the animation.
[G1 Android Development] cmsweet21:
its really fast.

only 1 thing is lacking tho it's not really important.

the swipey swipey on home screen xD

(not really fast)

other than that, this rom is FK! ^^

great work Klick!
[G1 Android Development] digitallysick:
danger spl?

Where do I get it? And is it safe? While looking for it, I see posts that it bricked phones? How safe is it? I'm using the danger spl I think currently

[G1 Android Development] mackster248:
Lovin it!

King, I'm loving this man! Thanks for putting your hard work into it =P. One question, how does that priority app thing work? Never used it before. And I seem to get a FC everytime I try to open Advanced Task Manager. Other than that awesome ROM, very fasttttttttttttt! =D
[G1 Android Development] ganny:
Gee, you really are the king! This ROM is running really beautifully!

And with the new HeroLED.apk LEDs are working at full brightness similar to stock (with notifications for everything now!).

One problem however: the Home screen seems to run reeeaally slow. I'm using TouchFlo, and after going to any app and then pressing home, it shows the HTC logo for about 10 seconds, then goes to Home but says "Loading" for another 10... If that were fixed I'd say this would be perfect.

Thanks a lot for your hard work king!
[G1 Android Development] dweller88:

looking forward to trying this,

I'm v happy about these three inclusions

Can not update your rom!!!

Hello,

I read almost the posts. I see your ROM is really fast and stable. However, I CAN NOT update your ROM into my G1. I can not understand. hic hic.

I do exactly all the step:

- WIPE

- rm -rf /system/sd/*

- rm -rf /system/data/*

- WIPE

- update YOUR ROM (from 1.1r1 to 1.7)

My G1 always stuck at the HTC screen. I DO MANY TIMEs for UPDATE.

HOW CAN I DO FOR UPDATING YOUR ROM???

My G1 info:

- AonRA's AonRA's recovery 1.2.3

- SPL : 1.33.2005

- Radio: 2.22.19.26I

- SD 2Gb

- FAT32/EXT4/Linux-swap : 1446/500/96

Thanks!

Dude Seriously this rom is BLAZING fast!!! its even faster than the 1.6 (dont know if its just me or it was intentional but GREAT WORK)

Ill be switching all my friends over to this rom!! THANK YOU

Edit: i noticed all my apps where gone.. just had to reinstall them all.. I knew apps to SD wasnt working.. but check it.. if I flash to a non hero rom right now and then have apps.. it will be apps to sd.. strange!
[G1 Android Development] njgheewala:
One quick question, since this is my first time updating any ROM, I was wondering what in all you loose when you update ROM? I have 1.6 and I like but greed of much faster ROM and cooler thing wanna make me update :o :p.

I was just curious as to what will I loose, I have back up for root and have done apk back up, I also have music and pictures in the SD card. Can i just put the 1.7 in SD and boot in recovery and just wipe, flash and wipe again? I know I will loose the apps that I have installed and I can restore those by using back up for root but do I loose music and all the other thing from my SD card?

Thanks in advance, this is the most wanted and loved HERO ROM ever!:D
[G1 Android Development] ballerhaller:

does anyone know if this rom will bypass activation?

[G1 Android Development] lycoln:
With all Hero ROMs you can "skip" activation and linking to accounts until later.

Cyanogen is the same because he releases "developer phone" builds.

I'm currently running cyanogens latest expieremental rom, does this mean I have the correct spl already? I used the 2 part flash method?
[G1 Android Development] jdscully:
Not sure what I am doing wrong, but this is the first version I have had a loading screen in (other than a couple coming from the market). I am getting them once in a while coming from the browser and once from settings. Also a lot more accidental opening of programs in Rosie. Not doing anything different than on 1.6 and it seems to be slower for me.

I have also noticed the widgets load slower (people and weather) and there seems to be a pause after I unlock, to where I have to wait a few seconds before I can swipe on the home screen. Did not have these issues in 1.6 or 1.5 for that matter.
[G1 Android Development] sunny.ice:
In 1.7 there is backing_swap disabled in compcache. Edit your user.conf and enable backing_swap. This will speed up 1.7 (it does for me).
[G1 Android Development] Devious12345:
I am also having bad lag issues. I have a 64 linux swap and 500 ext3 on a class 6 card so not sure why I am laggy... I didnt put any user.conf or userinit or my sdcard I thought I could just use the settings in the rom (which I still believe I can) just not sure why its laggy....

someone mentioned something about needing to set the cpu frequency?
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
the user.conf in 1.7 is set up to only use compcache and not the swap partition, so what you would do is go into terminal, type

su

cp /system/bin/user.conf /sdcard/user.conf

then download text edit from the market. turn backing swap on with 60 swappiness.

go back to the terminal

su

cp /sdcard/user.conf /system/bin/user.conf

then reboot manually

about clocking:

use setCPU in the rom. 528mhz is the fastest of course

using 1.7 with swap

Hey King! Love your ROMs..I'm on MLIGN right now, but I want to come back to your ROMs..I downloaded the user.conf from your thread, and I needed some help..I'm using swapper and I originall made a 96 MB partition using amon ra's recovery, and I'm running 80 swappiness atm. Now, I want to install your ROM. I still want to use 96 MB swap and 80 MB swappiness, but I understand I need to tweak the compcache and swap from user.conf...is this how it should look for 96 MB swap and 80 swappiness..in the bold and what should i do with compcahce?

#compcache related parameters

compcache{

compcache_en=1	# enable(1) or disable(0) compcache

cc_disksize=32what number should this be for 1.7	# Ram swap disksize - any number between 1 to 95 should work what number should this be for 1.7

cc_memlimit=18	# Limit the memory usage for backing swap (cc .5x known issue-defaults to 15% of total RAM)

cc_backingswap_en=1	# enable(1) or disable(0) backing swap

cc_backingswap=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 # pointing to the backingswap partition device

cc_swappiness=80 # default 60 Should I leave this as is?

}

#Linux swap parameters

#

# linux swap can only be enabled if cc_backingswap_en is set to "0"

#

linux_swap{

linux_swap_en=0	# enable(1) or disable(0) linux swap Should I change it to =1

linux_swap_partition=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 # swap partition device

swappiness=80 # default 60

}

Please help me with this as I've never tweaked compcache and whatnot from user.conf..in fact, I haven't even been using one! lol

is a wipe required from hero to hero? i'm on 1.6 right now and don't wanna wipe for 1.7..
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
ok. leave linux swap alone. CC disksize doesn't matter if you're using backing swap. i would suggest changing compcache swappiness to 45... then save it, put the user.conf onto your sd, go to terminal

su

rwsystem

cp /sdcard/user.conf /system/bin/user.conf

reboot manually
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
i do believe so. if you have alot of apps and wanna save your SMS, settings, data, etc. download backup for root user from the android market

Please post your complete user.conf if you can. If you choose no swap partition, do you disable cc_backingswap_en?

I dont have any past Hero experience but seems to be more than fast enough. I installed 1.6 a few days ago and that ran fine, I didnt get a real chance to gauge battery life etc but I installed 1.7 today and it's eaten my battery alive! took it off charge at 11am and by 10pm it was flat with less than an hours actual use (no phone calls or text, just surfing and general usage)

I checked Advanced Task manager to confirm nothing was running that should be. I'll recharge tonight and try again tomorrow!
