first time i ever got an error installing a hero rom (flashed maybe 50 60)

error was: Installation aborted - could not find data/app_s/htcfootprints.odex

fyi - i wiped and everything
[G1 Android Development] ChrisChavez:
King! Just wanna say GREAT ROM, man...

I tried the stock 2.2 Modaco port and it didn't run very well on the G1 so it's nice to see someone was able to make it fly like 1.5.1 did!

Nice work. =)

Finally, people can upgrade to 2.2 without losing the speed they love!

Oh, and I will be making a video review of this soon on my Youtube *spoiler, its gonna be a good one* as soon as you get the link back up (reason why you took it down?).

So expect MANY more downloads to follow. LOL

One more thing, I tried to find the "death" spl and is it the same as 1.33.2005?

Cuz I flashed it with that and its all working fine.

And any way to make one with the stock fonts? I really like the look of these but they take up more room on the screen... =p
[G1 Android Development] kolyan:
how does updating work in this rom ? do we just install without wipe ? maybe updater app coming sometime, just like CN roms ? :)
[G1 Android Development] kolyan:
check my previous posts. it takes 15 seconds of your time to change to any font including stock.
[G1 Android Development] michagol2:
By the way I used the latest Version 1 not the beta
[G1 Android Development] lycoln:
Sounds like the .zip was signed and then the footprints.odex was removed after without re-signing the .zip file. ×that's when you would get that error×.

Best thing to do is re-download the .zip and get rid of the one you have now and delete the apps of your choice using terminal emulator. *search, it's back quite a ways*
[G1 Android Development] charris1011:
No. I think its a bad zip file I'm getting the same error.

you should be able to remove the image you set from the /port location. Reboot your phone and have transparency...
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Well I was using a different picture, so it is a little different
[G1 Android Development] sykokenndogg:
was the image you set not in the /port folder?
[G1 Android Development] sykokenndogg:
what if you went into wallpapers and set a stock paper. that would maybe remove the image you set.

**edit**nm not possible
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
No, and you can't set stock lockscreen-papers
[G1 Android Development] sykokenndogg:
yeah, just got that.

well, it should be refferenced somewhere in the system...

i'm tempted to set one of mine. thats the only way i can truly test it...

That is King's original red rosie from like 1.1 of this rom. Lycoln is now in charge of theming the rom

so, to the guy d/l the red rosie from the OP, dont.

use lyncolns if you want the red rosie theme. Its a great theme, it looks awesome, but its a little slow on my class 4 sd...

Really??? I thought converting to EXT4 was a must for his ROMS...Can anyone else confirm this?
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
no, ext 1/2/3/4 is acceptable :D
[G1 Android Development] Riley1524:
So it's a possibility that EXT2 is faster? I was under the assumption that EXT4 would be a better choice for your ROMS
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
anything is possible

what I do know is that obviosuly ext2 doesn't have to journal like ext3,

ext3 has less corruptions than ext2 as a result
[G1 Android Development] kolyan:
is it possible to convert to ext2/3/4 without wiping in adb ?
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
yup, no wipe needed.

I recommend using parted in the recovery console :)
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
is there a very big speed and performance difference between ext2 and ext3?
[G1 Android Development] anddep:
by any chance can u fix the weather in calendar?
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
try it out for yourself. from my experience ive had no corruptions, no slowdowns whatsoever no matter what im doing. i used task manager to stop some apps to see how much i was using and i have about 20 lmao. it also is very very stable for me and everything seems to write faster and things come up faster i even enabled animations and im not noticing any slowdowns or lag when opening applications.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
no its not. and honestly im never using ext4 because i personally think it sucks ass. i tested between my little brother using ext3 and me using ext4 (both of us have 96 mb swaps and everything the same size) for a boot test to see whos booted faster.. i purposely rebooted mines about a second or two before his and his always booted to the main screen about 10 -15 secs before mines would reach it. his experience was over all faster and alot smoother on ext3 and now im seeing even more performance on ext2. ill try out ext1 tomorrow and post how my experience is.

[G1 Android Development] sykokenndogg:
ok, so i doubted this, and really wanted to flame this guy for being so convoluted and confusing, lol. (sorry!) :D

However, upon doing some research, it seems the ext2 system would be faster than ext3 or even ext4. I would NOT try an ext1 file system though.

I'm going to downgrade my ext and go ahead and give it a try. I'll post my results shortly.

[G1 Android Development] The Ape:
hey guys,

this rom is one of the best i ever used..

but it`s often lagging when i switch from browser to homescreen (sometimes it takes 30sek. to load) and when i slide the keyboard in on homescreen...

somebody else have these issues ?? is there something i can do against it ??

I´m on default swap settings and ext2 part and only 2 widget running ...
[G1 Android Development] sykokenndogg:
hey, try going here, and trying this guys sdparted (i'm doing it as we speak) it seems you can downgrade without fromating the partitions. I am testing now.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4259325&highlight=downgrade#post4259325

this is a known issue, and there is no way around it...yet. The Hero rom is not written with a keyboard hardware, so it doesnt have the open closed/rotate auto feature. but only on the home screen.

one thing i've done to help speed up this process, is before you go home, close your keyboard, get the screen back to normal, then press home. Saves lots of time, and frustration.
[G1 Android Development] sykokenndogg:
ok, just downgraded.

First off the phone did boot through the G1 and Hero screens faster, though it did take longer for Touchflow to startup. I think that may be due to removal of the journal, and the fact the filesystems werent written for ext2. I'm going to wipe it and rebuild it from scratch, and flash anew. See if that helps.

Its weird, from the beginning i've been upgrading not knowing why, and it looks like there was no need.

Here's a quote from wikipedia;

"ext2 is still the filesystem of choice for flash-based storage media (such as SD cards, SSDs, and USB flash drives) since its lack of a journal minimizes the number of writes. Flash devices have only a limited number of write cycles."
[G1 Android Development] The Ape:
thx for your help !

i just realized on my own that it`s better to close the keyboard before switch to homescreen...

hmm, i think it is the only issue of this rom i can complain about...AND...the battery is loading really long...
[G1 Android Development] sykokenndogg:
Wow.

Ok, i'm impressed with using the ext2 filing system.

re-flashing seemed a lot quicker than normal.

Going from Initial set up to Touch flow being active was blazingly quick.

am going to do some extensive testing with widgets, apps etc. Will post results.

**update**

dammit, i forgot to put in the script from the OP to get apps from the market to work...looks like i get to REFLASH, lol.
[G1 Android Development] sykokenndogg:
Yeah, this is a great rom, my fiance cant use a rom that is too slow, at least not without chucking her phone. But, after using this one, she cant go back to a non Hero rom now. The issues are nominal.

The battery does charge slowly, but i think thats due to the CPU optimization. You can use the overclock widget and slow down the cpu, to save battery.
[G1 Android Development] Cresho:
switching screen upside up before going to home screen is better than switching to home before going upside. this is if your orientation is enabled.

This rom is my daily driver. It is tits.... ops!
[G1 Android Development] Riley1524:
I have to say, this is, by far, the best HERO ROM! I have spent the last few days testing others and Kings is hands down the best.

The only gripe I have is the small bit of lag when using the VK in the browser. Can't wait for the next release. Oh, I'm def. sending a donation this Friday.
[G1 Android Development] kolyan:
downgraded from ext4 ? how ?

it says ext4 downgrade is not supported.
[G1 Android Development] sykokenndogg:
are you using sdparted?

it took me twice to downgrade to ext2 (from ext3) following the instructions EXACTLY per the link i posted above (or back a page not sure).
[G1 Android Development] kolyan:
using sdparted.....followed the link:

*new feature=downgrade ext filesystem (ext3->ext2 ONLY, for now)

^ext4 downgrade not supported by this script.
[G1 Android Development] sykokenndogg:
damn...

well the next best thing i can tell you is wipe data/cache/ext4 and reflash his rom. There isnt much info out there regarding downgrading the filesystem at all for android.

But, i can tell you, its worth the reflash...

[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
It's a possibility that Missed Call became 1.6 only, because I can't see it either
[G1 Android Development] sassyness77:
hmmm smart thinking! :) ill restore to cyan and see if it pops back up.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Or if you want I have a stock 1.6 right here and can check

edit: Just checked and Missed Call is only for 1.6, no love for us hero rom users
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
well thank you sir for wanting to flame me. :)
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
well i hope you guys do follow my advice and make your ext ext2 again. im gonna screw around with swap file sizes and post my results. also has anyone noticed that even if you downclock to 245 it still has the same speed as default? ive been using setcpu and i downclocked and i notice absolutely no speed differences.. but whatever ill post in a few.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
I'm 90% sure that that is because in the user.conf it is still on 345-528. If you want to save battery then I would turn that off then use an overclock app to get it just right. I've gone 8 hours with minimal browser usage and youtube and am at 60%
[G1 Android Development] endre_dude:
so you're basically saying that the solution for increased battery life would be setting the #cpu clock

proc_cpu{

proc_cpu_en=1 to = 0 ,

and only using the Overclock widget to handle the sleep / load frequencies ?

( and set the sleep freq to 245 mhz from the widget, obviously :) )
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
That's what I have. But for sleep I would use 128, it saves about twice as much battery as 245
[G1 Android Development] endre_dude:
hmm..but won't that make rosie lag badly the first few seconds after "waking up" from sleep ? :)
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
A little but it's immediately after waking up then gone. However, if you want I can go test it roght now
[G1 Android Development] endre_dude:
:)

yeah..sure i do..thanks !
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Just found that either way gives you no lag after each being 5 min. idle

I`ve got a "nooby" question again...

i`m running this rom at the moment and somewhere i`ve read that it is support flash...

i was on the adobe flash test site to test the flash version. i`ve got 9. 1.22 (or sth. like that)

here`s the question...what works with this flash version ?? no miniclip, no myspace...whis services are supported??

...in deep apologies...thx

..so I did the whole switch to ext2 thing..and now i keep getting an error when trying to reflash..it keeps finding "corrupt files" ..a different file every time..and i've also noticed it stops transferring and everything when usb mounted and the phone goes to sleep mode..:|

i've formatted it the way i always do..with gparted, from ubuntu...creating the fat32 partition first, the ext2 after, and the linux swap last..but it's just not working.

the only thing i can do is flash the rom from an old fat32 class1 512mb sd card..and then switch to my 4 gb class6 card after the rom has completed flashing..but i dunno..won't this affect anything ?
[G1 Android Development] sykokenndogg:
can you get to the recovery console? What recovery are you using? When you get there you cant find kings .zip file?

what sizes are you using of each? i know its a silly question, but do you have the update.zip on the root of the fat32?

yes, the system writes some system information on the ext2 partition when you flash, without it, it wont run
[G1 Android Development] sykokenndogg:
no hard feelings i hope :D
[G1 Android Development] endre_dude:
1) i can get to the recovery console

2) sizes don't really matter, but here they are : 2.91 gb fat32 / 768 mb ext2 / 128 mb linux-swap

3) not really..it seems to work fine so far..about 1 hour into using the rom..and keep in mind that the 512 mb sd card i used to flash it didn't even have an ext2 partition, just a fat32 one :) so no...i don't think it writes anything to ext2 while flashing..i think it just writes to the phone's memory.

but the thing is..i think my a-data 4gb class 6 sdhc card is somehow not compatible with the ext2 filesystem, because all of this started when i formatted it with the ext2, instead of ext4.

It stops responding when the phone goes into sleep mode most of the times, and after i copy the zip file of the rom to the fat32 partition of the card (in windows 7 64 bit ), if i try to extract it to the root of the sd, i get the same file corrupted errors from winrar that i get from the jflasher when it tries to verify the rom package before applying it....

It's all really weird and frustrating, but the ****tiest part is that i can only use my phone for all of these operations, since the card reader i have doesn't work with sdhc cards.
[G1 Android Development] sykokenndogg:
the only other thing i can recomend is formating your SD via parted, on the recovery consol. Did you say you dont have an SD card reader? Will you be able to connect your sd to your computer, because once you format and place the partitions you'll need to get the rom .zip back on there somehow.

Here's a walkthrough i always reference when i need to format my sd from phone. Its a rough one, but read through it first, it'll make sense.

For example I will look at Alex in my phone book and it has a picture of Jeff and Jeff's picture will be Tom's picture. All of the people in my favs on the people widget are populating correctly.

[G1 Android Development] t1h5ta3:
the big gain is going from 384 to 245, your stepping down the cpu voltage, dropping to 128 is known to cause some stability issues.

you can set the step up to 20% this gets it to step up cpu freq at a lower load

CM also likes to set the powersave bias to 200, i havent bothered to change it on a hero rom yet, i had seen some where some one posted it caused issues, but it may have been a BFS issue..
