Honestly, I'd wait. He's on to something great... something I hope will mean the end of MghtyMax. It still has some serious issues though, that Maxisma is working on as we speak. His next release should be a winner.

As far as folks having a2sd issues, you do have an EXT partition, right? I don't know how many times people say "Why isn't A2SD working?" and it turns out that they never set up an ext partition. If you don't have an ext partition, there is nowhere on the SD for the apps to go!
[G1 Android Development] Kaptur:
I'm very impressed with this ROM, it's extremely fast and stable. I have tried a few more roms but this one really shines.

Using it on my MT3G, 96 MB linux swap (as recommended)

So thank you, and keep up the good work! 5 toasters out of 5 ;)
[G1 Android Development] test1551:
I used parted in the adb prompt and I double check the ext. I was using command "print" and it said I have a ext4 and now after spending a few days with it I not sure why the internal memory is decreasing I am up for suggestions.

Is there any leg work after I setup the partition? (I found this and do not want to try it unless I get a okay from mghtyred)

Thanks for helping
[G1 Android Development] mghtyred:
A2sd is automatic in MghtyMax. There is no reason it should not be working as long as you have a large enough ext partition to support the apps.
[G1 Android Development] test1551:
So I looked into what you were saying about checking if i had a partition setup so I used program called acronis disk director and it has my partition listed as a ext3 and that it is full....should i reformat the partition or follow haykuro a2sd

here's how i do it EVERY time i flash a ROM right from my phone;

PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST BEFORE WIPING!

**Originally Posted by xitaxuta, edited some by me**

order of partitions

-fat32

-ext2

-linux-swap

do this on recovery console

(using parted) "remember this will DELETE ALL OF YOUR SDCARD DATA so BACKUP everything you need FIRST!! (i make a backup folder on the desktop of my computer of everything i want to keep on the sdcard, then just wipe.)

enter command

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

type print to see the total MB for the SDCARD (mines 3965 MB)

removing existing partitions first !

rm1 (or sometimes/ rm 1)

rm2 (or sometimes/ rm 2)

rm3 (or sometimes/ rm 3)

now creating new partitions sizes !

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 3303

mkpartfs primary ext2 3303 3815

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 3815 3965

now type:

quit (enter)

upgrade_fs (enter)

**this makes the ext2 an ext3**

reboot recovery

wipe

repair

wipe

flash

PS.

simple formula:

fat32 = (sdcard size) - 512 - 150

ext2 = 512

linux-swap = 150 absolutely flys for me! :D

**Additional Notes**

this only works out simply a couple ways;

1) if you have a mini SD card adapter and reader to put the new rom onto the root of the fat32 partition with your computer

2) you already have mghtymax installed, since there is a bug that lets the sdcard be visable and read/writable during startup, or the initial HTC screen. So you can wipe the sdcard, then restart your phone, while its on the HTC loading screen (and your phone is plugged into usb of your computer) you can go ahead and put the rom back on the root of the fat32 partition of the sdcard, reboot, wipe, repair ext, wipe, load rom, reboot, ENJOY THE FASTEST ROM OUT RIGHT NOW!
[G1 Android Development] masarliev:
I flashed the rom and now I can't go into adb shell console. the phone is logging me out. I reboot the phone and now it loops on G1 logo. And on recovery it still kicks me of adb shell
[G1 Android Development] HrtSmrt:
I'm having the same problem with Apps2Sd, my external memory just keeps going down. I repartitioned with sdparted just before installing the rom, and set up an ext4 so I know I have one.

Its a shame cause this rom was faster for me than "hero over" but its definitely slowed down as I installed apps
[G1 Android Development] mghtyred:
The ones with the EXT issues, obviously you're not using a large enough EXT partition. the recommended is 500MB, I use 1GB.

As far as this: "I flashed the rom and now I can't go into adb shell console. the phone is logging me out. I reboot the phone and now it loops on G1 logo. And on recovery it still kicks me of adb shell"

You did something very wrong. I don't know where you went wrong, but you did. Wipe and start over from scratch.
[G1 Android Development] mccurt29:
I have ext4 too that's prob why a2sd isn't working ...I heard a lot of roms don't support ext4...this rom went too super fast too slow
[G1 Android Development] HrtSmrt:
That might be it, but I thought ext4 was recommended for this Rom.

And mine is 512 so I doubt its too small
[G1 Android Development] HrtSmrt:
Oh, and my LEDs aren't working for anything unless I set them up in missed call
[G1 Android Development] SxxxA:
For anything?

It's stated in post#1 that we have to set up the call service, for calls/missed calls, but other than that (notifications, etc) the LED should work.
[G1 Android Development] SxxxA:
For 2 months now I have been using only ext4, for any ROMs.

MghtyMax should work on ext4, at least that's my experience.

You guys should not rule out the possibility of malfunctioned SD cards. If you have a spare, give it a go.. just to make sure.
[G1 Android Development] mghtyred:
I've also been getting a slew of IM's from people saying things like "But I have a 25MB ext partition, why isn't this working? "

Really?

you should have at LEAST a 500 mb ext partition. I run a 1GB ext partition. It seems everyone having issues is just not running a large enough partition.

The guy with the LED issue,. that is a new one on me. The only reason i added the missed call app was because missed call notifications do not work on this rom. Everything else works flawlessly. Thousands of users can't be wrong.
[G1 Android Development] Yaboiaj:
Which SPL is required? Would'nt want to brick. Sorry if this is a "n00b" question but I've only worked with cyans builds and the HardSPL. And I couldn't find it in the original post.

Wouldn't want to brick now would we :-)
[G1 Android Development] tq745:
i use 1.33.2009 and it works fine for me.
[G1 Android Development] Yaboiaj:
I think thats only for MT3G if not mistaken.
[G1 Android Development] sykokenndogg:
you can find the latest spl here;

http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/

if you dont have the most up to date radio make sure you flash that first.

beware, you will need to have a rom loaded on your sdcard before you flash the spl, because you pretty much need to start from scratch afterwards.
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
You are not going to brick from having the wrong SPL when installing a rom.
[G1 Android Development] Yaboiaj:
Ok good good. Thanks guys!!

If you're flashing HERO for the first time, go check out "Breaks HERO Guide" over at the T-mo OS/DEV forums in the "Ultimate guide" It will give you step by step instructions.

A2SD help

so I have spent some time learning, reading, installing

And from what I can gather is that in my data/app and system/sd/app both have the app programs listed. My question is if this is correct. I am suppose to have the apps listed in my data/app folder? and if not how to I fix it

I have tried "rm -r /data/app" command and it works but when I link the folder to the sd folder (ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app) it will automatically create the data/app folder with the apps restore back into it

I have tried to just remove the data/app folder and reboot but again it reappears with the apps listed in it

I have a 500mb partition (ext4)

mghtyred help me out you are the da man
[G1 Android Development] misterzak:
I think you're right

Hey mghtyred, I think you're right with the "fastest Hero ROM" thing. So far I have tried KingClick's v2.2 and SenseHERO v1.3.1 and this is just clinching it.

Thanks for the ROM (And thanks to all the Devs who have helped on this too)!!

:D
[G1 Android Development] :
you dont have to do anthing for a2sd it is automatic

but in my understanding what you see in data/app is app data if you remove it some of your apps will not function properly

Tethering with MghtyMax 1.9.1

Hello Mghty,

Is tethering of 3g data possible with this rom? If yes how do I do it and please tell me which app I must use.

Thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] mackster248:
It should be. Just get the wireless tether app and you should be good to go.
[G1 Android Development] mghtyred:
First off 1GB? Class 2? and you want it to run as fast as CM?

You're not giving it much of a chance are you?

"Hey I got this Ferrari, and want to see if it will do 160. Let's fill the tank with horse pee and see what happens."

I keed I keed.

Seriously though. Even though the ROM is not using a Linux-Swap, it still uses apps2sd. With a small, slow card, apps will load slowly, and you'll be unhappy with the performance of the rom.

I'll be honest with you. This rom is pretty much Maxisma 1.7.1, which is the fastest Hero rom I have encountered. Blazing fast. It takes as much as a half hour to "warm up" after installing, but once it's settled in, this thing will fly.

You can try it with your 1GB Class 2 SD card if you want, but I don't think you'll be happy.
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
LOL ok. I'm just curious I guess. I don't want to wipe my other SD card. I might give this

a shot tomorrow though and I'll let you know how it goes. I have been wanting to try a hero

rom because I haven't flashed one since hero was still in it's early, early stages. Thanks

for the input though.
[G1 Android Development] mghtyred:
What's the big deal about wiping the SD card? Between backup for root, and switchrom (You have upgraded to Amen Ra's recovery, right?) it's not as if you can't put everything back. You're not repartitioning FAT32, just your ext and linux swap partitions.
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
Internal flash is much faster than a class 6 sdcard, with that said, I flashed the rom, and had only one partition in my sdcard (fat32) (did this on purpose), as expected, /data was left internal (some of the latest hero screw-ups, I mean, roms, manage to screw this up if you don't have an ext partition), and the speed was alright, but once I loaded Rosie with widgets things bogged down as much as any other hero out there, also, music player + browser (the de-facto performance test, I feel) were still slow (though a tad better than other hero roms) and I'd get rosie re-loads. Hero passes the torture test, so do regular (non-hero port) roms, but on G1, I think Hero will be a no-go for those of us who care about making hero work on the G1 and not the other way around.

Oh.... and that boot screen......... brbneedtherapy
[G1 Android Development] ss4luis2000:
no twitter?

uh? yeah? flashed the rom according to instructions booted up succesfully but only one problem. i have no twitter. even when i was running the first setup before booting up the home screen i didnt want to logg me in,i kept pressing the login but nothing so i had to skip it. every thing seems tobe running very well and fast. but is there anyway ican get the full screen twitter? thankyou.
[G1 Android Development] mghtyred:
Yea, as mentioned in the first post, I had removed Peep because I was getting FC's with it during Twitpocolypse 2. I've talked to others running this rom, and they want it back, so I will be putting it back in the next version.
[G1 Android Development] jf4888:
Is the Android. process. Media force close a bug or is it me I flash with a clean/reformat of swap and extra and a repair of the extra filesystem oh and could you fix the touchflo cc when trying to set a wallpaper from gallery
[G1 Android Development] problem1:
flashin now..... the boot is fukin hilarious lmao........... twitter isnt working jus wont sign in
[G1 Android Development] mghtyred:
Not aware of a media force close issue. When does it happen, and is it repeatable?

You will get a FC selecting wallpapers from the gallery because Maxisma's build has no wallpapers in the gallery. So once you get past that first wallpaper, and scroll along, it's looking for wallpapers that aren't there. It causes a FC.

I hope to add more wallpapers to a later version of MghtyMax. I believe Maxisma kept them out of his original version to keep the rom simple and compact, which many appreciate.

I modded it to MghtyMax because I wanted more built in. It's why you have more than one ringtone, notification and alarm sound. So for now, don't use the gallery, and of course use your albums. You can put wallpapers on your SD card, and use them through Albums.
[G1 Android Development] jf4888:
Lol sorry for the late reply I switchromed back to cyan and got carried away with girlfriend txting me

Anyways back to fc

Ok well everything booted up and all a random song starting playing(but that's normal) but after that I headed to the backup 4 root to try and get my usuall stuff ready

So I restored my playlist settings and apks whatever etc. Then when my phone notified me of something like a txt gmail anything that rings(notification just would bring up this android.process.media fc Music wouldn't play because of this it just kept fc ing so I killed all the task seeing what that did and 4 about 5 mins all went well untill out of know where bam >media fc

so I thought it was a uid mismatch or something wasn't right so I try that from RA recovery

All went well music played etc. Then eventually when getting notified it does it. Again and repeatively does it like non stop eventually leading me to shut down the phone and think what to do. So I redownload it again reformat wipe reflash, all goes well untill someone txt or mail came in . Once again its repeative so idk for sure what it is, if you want ill switchrom back and send you the log if I can get it to you. Id need your email though
[G1 Android Development] mghtyred:
Try Wipe, reformat wipe again. (Wiping before and after reformatting SD.) and make sure when you exit parted, that you're pulling the battery, and rebooting directly into recovery.

I am currently using this ROM with no issues. LEDS seem to be working and enjoying all the sounds you added back in from max's hero rom.

Going to play around with this rom some more, will let you know if I find any thing.

BTW I know this is like beating a dead horse, but is there any way to fix blue tooth? When I go to turn in on it just sits there saying "turning on..."
[G1 Android Development] schtuka:
i wasn't getting any sms, then i looked in settings and server center phone number was missing for t-mobile, so i put it back and still no sms. also time widget is not updating unless you are looking directly at that screen panel, but it updates fine when in sleeping mode. same thing on maxisma 1.8.
[G1 Android Development] ths_:
Someone mentioned a song playing on boot, is this something I can't have go off in the workplace? I want to flash this thing now to try it out. Let me know.
[G1 Android Development] mghtyred:
It will be fine. Go ahead and flash it. It's not a song, just a quick "MghtyMax theme" lasts 2 seconds.

Just started playing with Maxisma's 1.8. Should have a new MghtyMax up by the end of the day.
[G1 Android Development] schtuka:
Great, can you check the sms issue I had? Maybe it related to the fact you did it for G1? Is it too much to ask for MyTouch build.prop version?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] mghtyred:
It's an odd issue, and it doesn't seem anyone else is experiencing it. Usually when folks have odd issues like this, it's because the wipe procedure I posted was not properly followed to the letter. I would start over from scratch with MghtyMax 1.8 FINAL which I will be posting shortly.

As far as a MT3G specific build prop, it doesn't really matter. All that name does (In my build.prop's T-Mobile G1) is tell apps like My Account that the phone is allowed to use those apps. It really does nothing else. Since All T-Mo released phones can use the T-mo apps, having a MT3G with a displayed model as T-Mobile G1 does nothing.
[G1 Android Development] matt_stang:
Hey just to let you know I'm currently using this ROM with my 1GB sdcard and it's running great :)

One question though. How do I get the Android VK on here instead of HTC IME?
[G1 Android Development] schtuka:
Idk, I Wiped phone, formated FAT32, partitioned to ext3 and swap with RaV1.2.2, wiped phone again, pulled the battery and flashed. It started very crispy and fast.

Sounds good. Are you using Maxisma's 1.8 with older kernel?
[G1 Android Development] vkchetty:

[G1 Android Development] schtuka:
I think the Hero Cupcake time is passing away. You could improve it your self by trying SPEEDUP script or different BFS.
[G1 Android Development] PsychoKilla666:
Please keep your rom the way it is, swap only for life

I know its advanced and the SenseHero guys, jack MK and cry are amazing devs but that rom will never be stable due to BFS and/or compcache

I just dont see it happening on G1s ever
[G1 Android Development] mghtyred:
I agree. The point of MghtyMax was stability and functionality. I wanted all the goods and none of the lag. Ramhacks and the like only cause problem with cupcake hero, especially on the G1. I've been running 1.9.1 forever now with no problems.

As far as 2.1, everything is still very new and experimental... far from functional. It will probably be a while before I start looking at 2.1
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Agreed. I've been browsing through Sapphire development and found a poll, something like "Which is the fastest Hero/Sense for Sapphire". According to that, QTek's was the best, so I decided to give it a go. Turned out to be the worst experience ever. With all due respect to dev efforts, they are still far from stable. I don't know if it's the APPS2SD that's broken, or what, but the phone is pretty much useless after a few minutes (hangs all over the place). And I'm not willing to give up my EXT partition just yet :D
[G1 Android Development] mghtyred:
Well you found the fastest Hero/Sense right here. Fast, stable, you'll change your mind about Hero roms.
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Hahahaha... that made me giggle...

You must've missed my signature ;)

In my previous post I meant "apart from MghtyMax"!

Damn straight it's the fastest! You rock brother..

I've been wondering just one thing about your ROM.. would it ever be possible to have a working BT? Just cos, I've seen Sense patched up for 32A devices so they could have a working BT...then I saw some daring 32B owners flash those (kernel) patches to their 32Bs, and claim that's been working fine. However, the ROM base is that "new" HTC Sapphire Sense (that was released for Taiwan or something, a while back). So, I never tried to use it, cos obviously I thought that would break your build, but since I never tried anything remotely connected to kernel programming (or just compiling for Android, for that matter), I have no idea about the details.. Anyway... this isn't even a question, just a general wondering I guess :D

I sure hope to see you get your hands on something again, cos it seems you know what you're doing!
[G1 Android Development] mackster248:
For some reason whenever I use any hero rom my texts are out of order... that's the only knock i have for a hero rom. Anyone else have that issue?
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
Apparently you aren't the only one. Have you tried Handcent, or does that have the same problem?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
It is on every hero I've seen so far. Hero 1.5 that is, whatever Htc did to Hero 2.1 seems to have fixed it. Which is odd because as of right now, Hero 2.1 is using 1.5 apps, I'm thinking has to do with some 1.5 framework or something
[G1 Android Development] mackster248:
Yeah ive used handcent and chomp and same problem persists. It makes sense that its the frameworks fault, but i ran hero roms for about 2 months straight without that problem so thats why im just so confused as to why its happening now.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
There's probably some problem in the amount of optimizing that has happened. I know up until about the time Kingklick released his 1.9, all hero roms started to have the messed up time problems. It must have been a new system dump or something that started the problem
[G1 Android Development] nyctrini3:

Hero eclair is still running cupcake And not donut/eclair?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
It is eclair, but it has to use the 1.5 htc apps because the dump the devs have is basically stripped of the new apps. It's 2.1 using 1.5 apps

Bingo... Besides, with all the work going on with Eclair, I really don't see much of a point with tweaking with MM any more. It's fine the way it is, and any future work I choose to do will be Eclair based.

maps with navigation

alright this is my first post. really love this rom. it is the first hero I find that really meets my desire for responsiveness. kudos

however the only thing that would make this complete for me would be google maps with navigation. now I understand why you cannot post this in your rom but I have been looking for anything that would get it running on it. I know the cyanogen fix wasn't designed for it, but I tryed it anyway. obviously no avail. then i tried the editing of the build.prop, build.sapphire.prop, and build.trout.prop with little success. I finally got it to let me install maps.apk but it just force closes upon starting the program.

it is likely i didn't edit properly but it also occurs to me the memhack might be messing with the fix i found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=582953&highlight=maxisma+navigation

I used the search function for everything that included maxisma/mightymax/memhack + navigation but all solutions didn't work for me yet. I am a loss for ideas.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
It won't work, that's as simple as it gets. The new maps REQUIRES 1.6+, and this rom is a 1.5 hero.
