ahh damnn!!!

Just had my first reboot on 1.4...

Interesting thing i noticed: after flashing to 1.4, everything was running nice and smooth, no reboots AT ALL. however, i had just one complaint.. when i went into any app page in the market, the comments section always turned up empty.

So i thought maybe a quick reboot would fix this.. and very well, it did... But, now, the first time the phone goes to sleep mode, it restarted on me :(

I was soooo very satisfied with this rom, but now, im getting the feeling im gona have a reboot issue :(

I hope my observations help you fix this problem, king... im no expert but i know for sure that my intentional reboot caused the random reboot... :(
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
flash 1.4r1 its much mroe stable

setup a swap of 32MB

it uses CC with backing swap
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
If your havin problems i fee bad for you son.. i got 99 roblems... JUST PLAYING.....

But honestly try reformatting your sdcard completely..using the sdparted way in console..

Also verify and make sure that your hone has the correct spl and radio image, and if it has changed flash it back the proper way so that you dont brick your device...

@prince try going with a 500mb ext.. 100 is too small...
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
32mb makes it go fastet but my kb is laging so bad.
[G1 Android Development] icpeanuts:
PLEASE FIX the Keyboard open TouchFlo error in Home screen. That is my main issue. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
I am using 96mb and the lag has improved(along with the random reboots and lockscreen freeze) but people have taken out the predictive text to reduce the lagg, you can keep it in your roms since the majority want it but i am just giving you the heads up.
[G1 Android Development] alpha22:
Every single Hero rom out there has this problem because Hero doesn't have a physical keyboard.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
tito- a ton of people wanted predicitve txt so i gave it :/

any other ideas guys??
[G1 Android Development] air2k57:
I am wanting to give this ROM a shot, but my SD Card is class 2 :(. I have class 6 on the way from ebay, not here yet though. Do you think it will be pretty crappy on class 2?
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
128mb swap partition is good.. haven't had any lag or reboots so far...

and the predictive text is minor.. but its helpful with onscreen texting.. some people just need to work on their spelling
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
you'll be fine :D

just obviously wont be as slick as it would be on a class 6
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Man CC makes things nice now...

Playing with optimization
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
I have gotten a few BSD and some random reboots. I have been getting them since 1.3 or 1.4 I think.
[G1 Android Development] Rawdi:
I really like this rom but i am having 1 problem. when i turn the screen off, if i leave it for a a couple of hours it doesnt turn on. it seems like it has crashed. i have to take the battery out and then turn it back on. i have reformatted the sd and wiped everything and started again but it still does it. i even went a bought a sd class 6 card. what can i do to fix this.
[G1 Android Development] Rawdi:
........................
[G1 Android Development] onetidd:
+1 please up
[G1 Android Development] dweller88:
I flashed this Rom last night and had the same error. I have also had about three reboots.

I wiped the internal and the ext. Maybe that ext needs formatting?
[G1 Android Development] deeb215:
My Last Love

Can we have that Red Rosie back for the next version? Still on 1.4(this one works almost like a charm for me, archive a must), about to download 1.4r1 to give that some play time. Thanks my dude for this immaculate work!! :)
[G1 Android Development] Rawdi:
I used the new RAV recovery image to format the sd card. is there a way to format fully or does that way is the right way. if there isnt a really good hero rom out there then i might have to go back to cyanogen as i didnt have any problems with that rom. can anyone advise me please. thanks
[G1 Android Development] crodgers79:
1.4r1 still has issues for me too

King,

Love your work! However, I got the same results as this gentleman quoted above; I did a power-down and let the phone sit overnight; this morning after I pulled down the unlock screen I was greeted with a TouchFlo FC error, I tried waiting it out and nothing, it was frozen; if I selected "Force Close" TouchFlo would try to reload and then I'd get another TouchFlo FC error message. Finally pulled the battery and rebooted.

Just to let you know, I'm one of those rare types that doesn't trust anything but totally clean installs; with every ROM upgrade I pull the microSD card, run Gparted and totally blow-away the SD card's old partitions and repartition and reformat so the new ROM sees a totally clean SD card. I setup the swap partition at 64Mb for 1.4r1 which I believe is acceptable (fat32 is 14Gb, ext2 is 850Mb).

I think you're doing great work and this _is_ heading in the right direction, but based on my experience I can't say the 1.4r1 is stable enough for everyday use (sorry, don't give up!).

With respect,

Chris R.
[G1 Android Development] isikh:
1.2 was the most stable for me. I'm on 1.4r1 now, but I now get the error where when someone calls, it displays their phone number...Also, how do I make my linux swap from 96MB to 32MB as recommended? i have no clue how. Also what do i do with CC with backing..ever since using this ROM I left everything default. I used AMon_Ra's recovery to make the 96 MB swap partition, and I didn't do anything else..my questions are..how would I change my swap from 96MB to 32MB, and what do I do with CC and backing, and how?
[G1 Android Development] frozenfoxx:
I'm still getting random reboots, been happening since 1.3. I've completely and totally wiped and formatted my SD card, resized the swap size down to 32MB as recommended, wiped the phone and reflashed various times (even redownloaded every time just to make sure it wasn't corrupt).

I'm sticking with 1.2 until the random reboot issue is fixed. Whatever you were doing with 1.2 was plenty stable for me.
[G1 Android Development] norrback:
Changed sdcard, nothing different, keeps locking and rebooting... odd...

Changed back to 1.2, works best on my G1. Same as poster before...

/Andre'
[G1 Android Development] vamopyros_wrath:
+ 1 but i went back to 1.2, because the reboots were driving me insane. i think that 1.4 was more stable, and it at least had the ram hack in it, so i will wait for the next stable as 1.2 fast as 1.4 original release, then donate mucho bucks, thanks for deving still king, you are on top still
[G1 Android Development] crodgers79:
I agree 1.2 was the most stable to-date

Mine just rebooted again by itself! I agree that the last stable version was 1.2.
[G1 Android Development] Mowed_Head:
A little help pretty please!

So I've been learning and flashing and enjoying, but I ahve a quick question:

I'm getting REALLY tired of having to setup all my apps, links, settings, etc whenever I reflash. Is there a way to not have to do this? Whenever I flash I completely wipe the sd card (not just "wipe", but unpartition, partition, etc etc). How can I retain all my settings and programs?

Thank you.

**Transparent Lock Screen for 1.4r1**

Here you go man download the file and extact to your desktop, then:

adb shell rm -r /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk

adb push [path-to]/com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework

adb shell reboot

**Lycoln_This_KingxKx will be updated and up tomorrow (testing tonight, hopefully)...<----It will be a nicely updated version of 1.2 (seems the most stable)**
[G1 Android Development] lycoln:
Here's how to backup your EXT:

Backup: adb pull /system/sd/ [path-to]\sdbackup

Restore: adb push [path-to]\sdbackup /system/sd

**This isn't IDEAL because when the builds are updated, certain apps are pulled from the main build---This process would mean you would have to go through and manually pull/(keep if you want) them**

**This will back up apps and data---Not Location, so you would still have to set up your screens** (I'm going to start messing around to find a way to do this)
[G1 Android Development] vamopyros_wrath:
Sweet man, thanks. Oh and btw, that new dialer for the black rose theme looks slick as an iphone, but better, lol cant wait for the next installment of this black theme...
[G1 Android Development] lycoln:
**Tears streaming** Thanks man...lots of work to get it the way I wanted. (and not "stretched" like I was originally going for) :p

I'll try my best to get it up tomorrow afternoon EST.
[G1 Android Development] Rosaski:
Reboots

I agree with the others, this version reboots like crazy. Gonna have to flash back to a different ROM.

Thanks for everything devs...
[G1 Android Development] madunix:
do a forum search of a script named "bart.sh"
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
OK guys! thank you for your input!

make sure to flash 1.4r1 and use a 32-64MB swap partition..... I HAVENT HAD 1 REBOOT IN 3 DAYS NOW
[G1 Android Development] vamopyros_wrath:
Are you implying that having a large swap (myself i carry a robust 164, heh :o )

would be what is causing the rebooting? cause if so, i would be willing to reformat today and test again. Still, I really like the speed improvements overall, king :cool:
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Hey bud

Its because your swap memory gets flooded etc blah blah blah

make it 32-64mb
[G1 Android Development] vamopyros_wrath:
yes sir, will do, i could always use more music memory lol and 100 mb is good fir that so. Thanks for stayin on top of your fans yo:D
[G1 Android Development] lycoln:
If you need an easy way to format your SD Card...look at my signature.

Just change the final line to:

sdparted -efs ext3 -ss 32M (or 64M, if you prefer a 64 swap partition)

**Will format your whole SD card, so make a backup of your FAT32 if you want**
[G1 Android Development] jdscully:
I have actually had more reboots / freezes since I did this. Last night I had 2 reboots during the middle of the night, a lot of the times the screen is black but you hear the boot up sound, so you know its rebooting. I have had more issues with going in to the phone dialer / gmail and it just freezing to the point I have to pull the battery, because no matter how long I wait it never does anything.

I actually had less issues with 1.4 and a 96MB swap. It seems like 1.4r ran great for about 12 hours plus before the issues started.
[G1 Android Development] t1h5ta3:
@king nice build, ive been playing with the diferent hero builds for a couple days, im thinking this is well on its way to being stable. it might even be good enough to get me off of the donut builds...

<edit> i spoke to soon. no reboot.. but i just had a coma.... been sitting on the table next to me, went to leave the house , just wouldnt wake up, pulled bat, rebooted, droped my boys off @ school, it was verry laggy, rebooted, ran the fdisck in my sig, found all sorts of mismatches etc, rebooted and was fast, got home to post this, and its in a coma again.:confused: it had run 24+ hours no prob before that..
[G1 Android Development] jdscully:
Agreed, I think I am going to go back to 96, I didn't have too many issues until I lowered it.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
OK FANS!!!

Looks like I COMPLETELY have fixed reboots on this version Ive been playing with.!!

Rosie seems to be a lot faster, Played around with for HOURS til late last night and this morning, made some changes to it with MY secret optimization and am astounded.... I want to keep testing it and Ill keep you guys posted... Be sure to FOllow me on twitter
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
lycoln I need your help with something, send me a PM or tweet plz
[G1 Android Development] jtroye32:
good news, can't wait for r2
[G1 Android Development] crodgers79:
Before you declare this next rev fixed....

King,

I'm a fan as you know, but you didn't seem to really acknowledge the reboot problems in 1.4r1, you kept just repeating to use the 32Mb swap-file size - like we all must be doing something wrong. I had a clean 64Mb swap file and it rebooted last night and then today it got much worse, the phone rebooted at least once per hour to the point where I had to load a completely different ROM (temporarily, I hope!).

Anyway, I just wanted to ask you to please gather some feedback from some additional folks who are testing your next revision before you declare it "reboot free" based on your own personal results. I'm not trying to be critical, it's just those of us "in the field" are wasting lots of time trying to figure-out what we could have possibly done wrong when all of the time there may have been some setting or omission in the ROM that was causing the problem.

Again, I enjoy your work and am respectful of your obvious talent, I just want to save me and others some time from trying to troubleshoot a ROM revision that may have problems internal to the build/configuration.

Respectfully submitted,

Chris R.
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
im going on 20hrs without a reboot... ( didnt even have to do one myself )..

my linux swap settings are at 128mb.. i recommend doing a fresh partition when you do the ext2 wipe/reformat... thats what i did this time when i flashed and havent had any problems at all...

only issue i have now is battery life, but im gonna blame that on my charger im using ( motorola charger instead of a real g1/blackberry charger )
[G1 Android Development] lycoln:
Sounds like a very respectable comment. I would say the "most stable" build where you get the most speed and NO reboots would be the 1.2 version.

I have just finished rebuilding these for 1.2 and have done a custom dialer for the NWg build.

I will have the uploads done shortly **NOTE: B_W will not have a custom dialer...it will be discontinued as of this week and look like "Blizzard" will replace it**
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Sorry to hear, however I AM working on 1.5 as we speak and while 1.4r1 seemed to take of of reboot for MOST it didnt care of it for all..

1.5 reboots WILL NOT be an issue

spent all night on it and still working on it.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
lycoln just PM'ed you that.......thing....

;)
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
O and crodgers79

When you quoted me a few posts above I was refering to my unreleased 1.5 build....

No worries just so you know :)
[G1 Android Development] crodgers79:
Thanks for the quick response

King,

I take you at your word, sir! I'll just wait until Lycoln has his fantastic looking NWg theme put into that release and then I'll give it a spin.. I had to load MLIGN's ROM temporarily and while it's nice and fast, it doesn't seem to include near as many options/apps/widgets as your ROM does..

Patiently waiting (and not expecting you to go days without sleep!)..

Chris R.
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
What is your fix?
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Just waiting on some fixes....
[G1 Android Development] dweller88:
thanks again kingklick for the slick rom.

I was one of those people having reboot and black screen problems on 1.4r1

They seemed to start after I had set Advanced Task Manager to end processes every two hours.

I switched that setting off this afternoon and haven't had any problems since.

I'll keep you posted.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Dont trip , working on an update as we speak
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
You guys are in for a REAL TREAT! ooo boy Ive been on this for waaaaay too long...

was in development before 1.4r1, but couldnt work out some kinks.. BUT I NOW HAVE!

Follow me on twitter ill keep ya posted
[G1 Android Development] lycoln:
Lycoln_This_KingxKx IS UPDATED....

v1.2.1 (10-07) is up of all three builds

NEW dialers in both NWg & Blacked Out.

"Blacked Out" has been my main concern, so it has a lot of nice updates for this release.

Check them out ***screen shots aren't up and probably won't be until tomorrow**

--------Check the CHANGE-LOG...these have the latest HeroLED and the working sound recording--------------

That said, it doesn't have the updated HTC_IME...

http://tinyurl.com/lyc-grp3
[G1 Android Development] jtroye32:
after crashing a few times 1.4r1 seems to have stabled itself out for some reason and is running pretty snappy with the exception of a few hiccups here and there. maybe because i'm babying it lol. I just have a feeling 1.5 is going to be right on - or a lot closer anyway.. seems to be the trend.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
LYCOLN THANKS A BUNCH! jus tested it!

:cool:
[G1 Android Development] lycoln:
Glad to hear it man, anything I can do to help out :D

Well that's my cue to head out for the night, remember to check out the updates http://tinyurl.com/lyc-grp3 ...and I'll try to have the update for the v1.5 tonight or tomorrow <---if not enough time)
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
same here had reboots with the 1.3 prob cause i had done the same thing with advanced task manager...

1.4r1 i didnt choose the kill process after a certain time, and havent had a reboot yet.. over 20hrs strong with no reboots ( except for me doing it on my own a few minutes ago cause i lost the signal - bad signal area )
[G1 Android Development] icpeanuts:
Is the Color Scheme for this ROM Red only? The Launcher, menu etc.. is there an option to change it within the Display settings? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
No its the stock scheme
[G1 Android Development] icpeanuts:
Will you add the option for the Stock Hero Rom color scheme to your ROM, for color scheme other than Red. Thanks for quick response.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
1.5 is fresh off the stove!

Get it while ITS HOT!!!

:cool:
[G1 Android Development] dweller88:
Don't worry, It's not red, You have to flash a themed version to make it red.

p.s.

1.5 alright!!!!
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
yuP! I cant WAIT to see feedback on this ROM

;)
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
I will wait for feedback. I am currently using another Rom because 1.4r1 was becoming a unstable mess.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Ive actually been using "1.5" since before I even released 1.4r1 (if that makes sense)

its VERY stable

This was released after because I made some changes that werent perfected just quite yet. But after more than a few days I can tell all is well now ;)
[G1 Android Development] jabbawalkee:
Im trying out your rom for the first time...will let you know how it goes!
[G1 Android Development] marazi:
stupid noob question here, but i assume i cant use this on my hero...?
[G1 Android Development] KHannel:
Installed "1.5" been playing around with it, so far its nothing short of AMAZING. Installed with the 32mb swap as suggested.

Great work, keep it up.
[G1 Android Development] icpeanuts:
Can someone tell me how to disable to vibrate on Answer? This happens when I check my voicemail, answer a phone call, go into a voicemail.

The option is in the Call Setting in the standard Android rom, but I can not seem to find it in the Hero Rom.

Thanks. I will wait for some responses as well to upgrade.
[G1 Android Development] jabbawalkee:
For some reason I can't log into google (at setup) and i know my apn setings are correct...
[G1 Android Development] isikh:
could some please explain how to change swap sizre from 96 MB to 32 Mb, and would this format the card?
[G1 Android Development] Daf.:
Same happens with me, not only on this rom either, use wifi and it'll work in a few seconds.

Testing 1.5 atm, going to use swapper at 32 and overclock max, see how fast this is!
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
Why would you want to do that?

If you do go into recovery, then console, Hit enter then

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 (last one is a zero not an O and there is a space between parted and /dev)

Once it says parted type print

you will se your 3 partitions

type rm 3

type print again and your swap will be gone

then type;

mkpartfs primary linux-swap xxxx-xxxx (xxxx is from where ext ends and where youw ant swap to end)

I suggest staying with the swap you have otherwise you will have alot of wasted space on the end of your card.
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Getting black boxes around program icons on homescreen and on the page slider.
[G1 Android Development] Daf.:
Same, pelase say theres a simple fix, i dont want to have to re-download and flash. Its nothing big but really annoying, other than the black boxes, it's running smooooth.
[G1 Android Development] dweller88:
just flashed 1.5

I have observed this.

the single square desktop shortcuts i.e. messages, mail, browser etc. get a black square

background to their picture instead of transparent,

this is really ugly.

I rebooted but I still have the same problem.

I tried deleting shortcut and adding new ones, but I had the same problem.

Apart from that ROM seems fine, though I haven't had time to test properly,

this was something I obviously noticed right away.
[G1 Android Development] isikh:
How would it look like if I wanted a 32 MB swap partition 512 MB Ext partition and the rest free? Also, because the OP said that it's better with 32 MB..lol..how would there be waste space?

I also have the black box problem

Oh, and OP, if we overclocked, would that only slow this rom down, or make it even faster?
[G1 Android Development] michagol2:
Good Im not crazy ---- i see the same thing
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
on 1.5 does anyone else get the black borders around the icons when scrolling from homescreen to homescreen??
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
Well, you have 96mb, and you want to shrink it to 32mb which leaves 64mb left not including what you didnt partition in to begin with.

Without repartitioning whole card, you will have extra space at the end shrinking the swap.

I use 128mb swap on every rom I try and never have any problems for at least 2-3 days which is much much longer then some people.
[G1 Android Development] jtroye32:
installing 1.5 now with 32mb swap partition - will let you know how it works for me :)
[G1 Android Development] isikh:
Ah, I see. That's not a problem on 64 MB no problem. If were do this, and wanted to go back to 96MB it would be the same process right?

EDIT: The best and fastest version for me was 1.2 and I think I'm going back to it, but I was wondering if someone can supply me with links for

- Fixed camcorder sound

- Fixed voice recorder sound

- Changed Meltus's Audio Hack
[G1 Android Development] jtroye32:
Anyone else getting black boxes around their homescreen icons??
[G1 Android Development] jabbawalkee:
I am too...
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
open up your app drawer and close it

this will get fixed... Just wanted this fast stable release to get out there

when you open and close the app drawer they go away
[G1 Android Development] slimster:
yeah, i would have to confirm the black boxes around icons...also the over all graphics on the home screen look "rough". i love the speed, but i think the graphics are hurting for it. good job on making a fast rom though brother.
[G1 Android Development] jtroye32:
I tried that and it comes back after you swipe away then swipe back. Other than that seems fast and stable :). I'm sure the black boxes are just small wrinkles that you will iron out.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
My optimized fast rosie had some kinks that I worked out to run the way it does

Lycoln should be fixing those as soon as he can..

I think for how it runs, tiny boxes that can go away by opening and closing the app drawer are bearable for the time being ;)

thanks
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
O MOST DEFINATELY

Its just Im supposed to be doing some things for class tonite and instead I slapped this bad boy together for my fans...strapped on time..

Didnt wana hold back a release thats this fast and stable because of some black rectangles ;)
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
I use all screens and this is going to really bug me. Also 32mb isnt enough to hold more than 2 apps at a time, maybe 64mb would be good.
[G1 Android Development] jtroye32:
hmm i can't tell if the graphics are any different then previous builds.. maybe i wasn't paying close enough attention? maybe down resing is the secret tweak?
