That target icon isnt there. When I select the city it gives me the list where I would type the local city, or current city which would be blank.

Edit: When I click the weather part on the widget it takes me to my location, but it doesnt display it on the widget
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
really?

when i click the weather part of the time widget, then menu > add

it looks like this
[G1 Android Development] GBerg2119:
Yeah. I made a mistake. I see that same screen, but even when I select my town, it doesnt display on the widget. The widget still shows the major city instead of the location I selected.
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
hmm, i see. that is strange, i have set up a few for small towns i visit and they sometimes have strange names but they do have the right weather.
[G1 Android Development] GBerg2119:
Yeah its weird. When I select the weather part it displays the town I selected, but at the home screen its the major city. Minor issue though. Im still really impressed with how fast it is. Hero really got a lot better since I left jachero a while back.
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
do you notice any lag when you wake the display while it is on battery power?
[G1 Android Development] GBerg2119:
Yeah. Takes about 5 seconds to wake up. When I had it on my usb cable it was immediate wake up.
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
ok, i am trying to figure it out and make a patch. in this thread
[G1 Android Development] crypticlama:
Anyone know how to get Blue-tooth working? on this rom?
[G1 Android Development] g1doobie:
No Hero ROM has working Bluetooth
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
If it's a g1 and you need bluetooth, I suggest you leave Hero forever and have fun with cyanogen instead
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
This is for those who have lag or wake up lag. I am using my user.conf, all compcahe, no swap at all(swap is not needed). Make sure u wipe data, dalvik cache, ext, repair ext and wipe data again. Push my user.conf to your /system/bin/ reboot and enjoy. I am also using BFS 304 with 10mb ram hack. There is no problem with this Rom or my settings, if its slow and laggy, its u not the Rom sorry.

[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Lol this caught my attention right here, ill have to try this user.conf cause i really miss hero but want nexus at the same time.

You use the same widgets as me too. :p
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
lol, yea i have to have the big widgets. cant wait til nexus is ported thats gonna b sweet

edit: it was actually faster, i used to have the cpu at min and max 528 but it burnt through the battery lol
[G1 Android Development] shusuke028:
This push file

Alright, just a quick question that will make me sound completely noobish, how would I go along pushing this file? Because anything to speed up this rom is welcome
[G1 Android Development] volcomdesigns:
Any specific way to flash it, or should I just flash, nothing special?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Just flash any time after the original rom and your good. Flash it now if you want
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
umm, you clearly have it plugged in to usb. the issue is on battery power

and your signature conflicts with you user conf
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
It's clearly not plugged n, there is a bug that keeps the light on when I get a lot of texts at once, ill update my Sig and do another vid that clearly show that it is not plugged n, it will b shorter this time
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
Clearly not plugged n, no lag, no wake up lag and my settings n sh /system/bin/swap -s

[G1 Android Development] shusuke028:
Push

If this really works, I want to try it out, but I'm not sure how to put it onto my phone :(
[G1 Android Development] Tydiz:
Are you talking about the ROM or the user.conf that everyone has been talking about, the last 2 pages?
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
the easy way is to get root explorer and copy it to /system/bin or in terminal

su

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

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

reboot

then check in terminal to see if the changes was made

su

sh /system/bin/swap -s
[G1 Android Development] shusuke028:
Root Explorer

alright, well is there any other way to do it other than using root explorer since it's a paid app?
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
yes the terminal commands r n that same post, y not buy it, it is very useful and supporting or devs is a good thing, it dont cost alot
[G1 Android Development] Tydiz:
He gave you the terminal commands...Make sure you have the terminal emulator on your phone(if not just download it from the market) and run those three lines.

As for the user.conf that djunio posted, it seems to work a lot better than the one I pushed a couple days back. I'm gonna play around with the other BFS versions and see if they make it any faster(I'm running BFS 230 currently)
[G1 Android Development] shusuke028:
Thanks

Alright thank you both for the prompt responses. I'm at school right now :p, but I'll report back and post my results
[G1 Android Development] shusuke028:
Sorry, but another question. With root explorer, I'd just put it in that directory and it would automatically work?

And if i use terminal, just put it on the root of my sd card, then use those commands and it should work?
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
The issue has resolved itself on my device, all I did was stop worrying about it :)

I am using a oversized Linux swap and no compcache

Perhaps dalvik is slow to build its optimized cache
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
its a GUI interface u just click on system then bin then paste it there, it makes alot of stuff really simple quick n easy
[G1 Android Development] shusuke028:
alright then that's all i would have to do? no commands or anything? the new user.conf would automatically work?
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
yup, make sure u navigate to the sd first and copy the user.conf first and u have to reboot
[G1 Android Development] shusuke028:
Alright thanks, I believe thats the last question i have on that. I'll post back in a little bit. thanks for the help
[G1 Android Development] shusuke028:
One more thing... Do I have to take the txt off of the end and put .sh on the end? or leave it as it is?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Take the txt off and leave it as .conf
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Yea, change from txt to sh.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
I think its a user.conf
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Isn't it the script to speed up rosie?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
I'm on my phone, and from what I can see they're talking about a user.conf
[G1 Android Development] volcomdesigns:
My mms keeps foreclosing, any idea whats going on?
[G1 Android Development] G1_Lucky:
That is a known issue with this ROM buddy lol
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
mms works fine for me, just make sure u dont try while wifi is on
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
really? mine works on wifi.

and sorry i doubted you about the lag, mine has disappeared after running for around one day :) still not on compcache though. i did go back and look at the first video a second time and there is a usb icon in the left corner of the screen. so in that video, not the second one, it had to have been on usb.
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
i does, your lucky i guess, when i try on wifi it doesnt send it, it just sits there allday until its off

no prob, i used to run a massive swap as well, i hated compcache until i adjusted it lol
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
so now if i can figure out the issue with sms times in certain networks this is going to remain my daily rom :) i am trying at the moment pushing different mms.apk's to see if any from other builds both work and have the right time without smsfixtime
[G1 Android Development] Dombfrsh:
I figured out a way to solve the time stamp issue

download Handcent from market

under settings in handcent--->go to bubble settings--->once in bubble settings check the box where it says show smart date time

and the problem will be solved :cool:
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
yea i actually just tried out handcent for the first time ever trying an sms that wasn't part of android. it is amazing! :) thanks for the tip though on the time
[G1 Android Development] Shatterv2:
304 is unstable no? Could you provide your experience so far?

Using your .conf but keeping my swap partition.
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
that doesn't seem to solve the actual time stamp issue, i still need to use smsfixtimes in order to have my messages at the right time. i think it might be processed within the system, it doesn't seem to be present in roms based on later android builds past 1.5
[G1 Android Development] BoomBoomPOW:
Can I use the ram hack on other roms beside the current SenseHerov1.4?

Can I try it with Slick Willy's hero rom?

I've successfully used BFS-302 with SenseHerov1.4 the other day. Just want to find out if I can use the same with the Slick Willy rom. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] lookout4theyeti:
Regarding the time stamp issues on sms: For about 2 weeks I was using the BFS 302. It ran very stable, rather quick, and my time stamps were never messed up with this. Prior to this I had used BFS 300 w/10mb hack. With that my time stamps were always messed up and backwards and whatnot. So anyways, BFS 302 began giving me the wakeup lag, and loading screens to the point where the rom was almost not useable, so I switched back to BFS 300 w/10mb hack. My speed issues have gone away, but my time stamp issues are back again.

Just my observations
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
I've been on it since the first 1.3 with no problems at all, its great. But b4 I flash I wiped data,ext,dalvik, repair ext n wiped data again. I haven't had 1 wake up lag, black screen or random reboot, I like to think that user.conf helped out alot lol.
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
interesting, i am using the 300 10mb hack, newer source and the wakeup lag is there from the start, i hope it fades out..
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
interesting, i am using the 300 10mb hack, newer source and the wakeup lag is there from the start, i hope it fades out.. does everything work properly in 302? have you tried 304 yet? or do you have a magic?
[G1 Android Development] cerick01:
Has anyone gotten Exchange Activesync working on the 1.4 version? I tried theme'd and un-theme'd and both fail when connecting with the server. Other ROM's do not have this problem. Any thoughts?
[G1 Android Development] jinth0688:
installed 1.4 with bfs 304 and djunio's user.conf

everything was working okay, but after a few minutes sense ui kept on fc so i had to revert back to another rom
[G1 Android Development] shusuke028:
Alright, I pushed the user.conf that was previously mentioned a page or 2 ago, and the performance definitely did improve.
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
its best to do it after a fresh install, wipe everything twice then flash the rom then the extras

nice, itll get better if u use bfs 304 with the 10ram hack(dream only)
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
you could use it on any rom you want, see here :)

android 10mb ram hack
[G1 Android Development] jinth0688:
i did do it after a fresh install..wiped everything..flashed 1.4, flashed the 304, copied the user.conf on first boot and then rebooted..everything would be okay for a couple minutes then i would continuously get system acore fc since sense wouldn't load correctly
[G1 Android Development] shusuke028:
Yep, I just recently flashed the bfs 304 and it definitely helped too. It's much better than the bfs 300 IMO. Didn't think this rom could get any better. Only thing that could make it any better is the 2.1 ROM lol
[G1 Android Development] Shatterv2:
Ehh im going to stick with my microhero v2.0 and mlign 3.2b with CC conf.
[G1 Android Development] chris6551:
noob here

Im having problems flashing this rom, I cant seem to get past coping files, It say something about line 30 Im not sure. I wipe everything, I partitioned my card to 96/512/ remaining then put the update on my card then wipe again and flash, and no luck. I know Im doing something wrong just not sure please help.
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
well i'm not too sure what the thing about line 30 is without more info but i know your partitions are in reverse. the first is vfat then 500mb ext for apps then 96mb swap
[G1 Android Development] ydizzle:
the software seems to be crashing randomly...and then i have to pull the battery and its stuck on bootloop...

ive tried several kernels always the same thing....

btw is ext2 or ext 4 recommended?
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
i use ext2, theoretically using ext3/4 would slightly slow down access time on an sd card as writing to the journal etc creates a bit of overhead. don't quote me but that's the way i see it and what i use for mine.
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
missing text's?

i just preformed a test.

using:

this rom

the 302 bfs

and handcent mms app

each time sending 7 text messages to myself, numbered to avoid confusion.

once with wifi on/connected, where 5 failed, 3 failed four or more times, some 'failed' but still arrived and one 'sent' but never arrived.

then with wifi off, each sent quickly and arrived immediately.

i presume that this issue is with the wifi driver, not handcent. so if you have text troubles. shut it off :)

still searching for the cause of wake up lag on battery vs usb...
[G1 Android Development] MikLSP:
Hi, is it possible to install this ROM without the SD partitions? I got rid of all mine after finding cyanogen ROMs to run smoother without them so it'd be nice not to have to faff around with them all again to try this nice looking ROM. Can I install it without or will that simply not work?
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Yea but youll have no space for apps.
[G1 Android Development] MikLSP:
Thanks for the reply, I'm using a Magic not a G1 so app storage isn't really much of an issue, I've not run out yet :)

Will I need to modify the user.conf file or anything? (I've never looked at that but I seem to have the idea that it tells the device whether to use swap or not?)
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
you should be able to get away without for testing it out anyway, if it's super slow push a different user.conf and reboot :)

and yea, it tells the device to use compcache(a compressed in ram type of swap), a swap file, or linux swap. or a combination. virtual memory setting, which you shouldn't need to change from anything i've experienced. and what settings to swap with, like partition for swapping and how frequent etc
[G1 Android Development] MikLSP:
I've wiped and flashed but it seems to be just stuck at the HTC screen...
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
You have to wait awhile
[G1 Android Development] MikLSP:
35mins? I was pretty sure by then it wasn't going to work (I've never seen any other flash take so long to reboot) and so went back to recovery to try different versions. Themed version sticks at HTC, no theme seems to loop on Hero screen and now even a cyanogen ROM doesn't get past the splash1 screen! :eek: :(
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Wipe everything with Amon_ra.

You have danger spl?
[G1 Android Development] MikLSP:
OK, I'll have to go and research about what those things are :S

I don't have danger spl, I have whatever spl was required / advised for cyanogen ROMs
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Well there should be links here for the spl.
[G1 Android Development] lookout4theyeti:
Using a dream. 302 was flawless and extremely stable, and no timestamp issues, but 300 w/10mb hack is just so much faster for me.
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
304 with 10 meg hack and using the compcache settings from a few pages back is the bomb.. no reason to have to change operating systems anymore. even though i've been using switchrom and going back and forth between this and the nexus build...
[G1 Android Development] futangclan:
You need an ext partition for this ROM to work, even if you have a Magic.
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
well u need the ext 3 for apps2sd but it should run without the swap partition considering it uses comp-cache. u might have to change the user.conf cause i believe it is set for backing-swap you would have to turn that off. but i don't see why you would need the swap partition.
[G1 Android Development] MikLSP:
Thanks for the help guys, I got up to date with the new recovery & spl (it's tough when you don't fully keep up to date with everything on the forum).

These ROMs still didn't work though so I suspect it's because it does need a partition on the SD card (if not then something strange was going on). As I didn't want to partition and hence erase everything on my SD just now I have flashed to another ROM but might come back and give this a try with a different SD :)

Cheers for the help,

Mik
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
u should be able to resize the partition without erasing it. ummmm go into gparted and type resize 1..i might be wrong on the command someone else help me out with that. that way u don't lose anything.. and u only need to make an ext partition.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
just copy files to pc, once you backup apps with nandroid.

Some people had probs with whatever gparted is and using the sd.
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
my data connection just seems to have stopped working... my other phone it works though. is my phone dying? .. excuse to buy a hero? :)
[G1 Android Development] Shatterv2:
Never understood why people love this rom more than anything else. It swipes Home screen to HS slow (BFS) but then sometimes it'll randomly click on a widget when im swiping across the screen.

Rather be with Microhero 2.0 or if i can get my fastboot to work ill go 32a hybrid!
[G1 Android Development] futangclan:
If you don't like the ROM, no need to constantly post in this thread about why it sucks. Why not use your time to post in the threads of ROMs you DO like?
[G1 Android Development] Shatterv2:
Calm down.

It was based to be a question. No need to answer if your going to say that. Testing this rom out again.
[G1 Android Development] futangclan:
Sorry, long day. You're right, that wasn't helpful.

Anyway, this ROM does slow down a bit over time since it uses compcache only. It is stable, though. I've adjusted my CC settings to 96mb with min 64mb (no backing swap) to see if it helps.

I have noticed that I am running low on memory with the recent Twidroid updates. I wasn't really experiencing the slowdown before that.
[G1 Android Development] Tydiz:
Ehhh...I'm gonna have to say he had every right to say that. That's like the 3rd time you've bragged about microHero and flamed SenseHERO in the last couple days...Honestly, we don't care what ROM you pick. If you found something that you really like and want to keep, good for you because that's pretty tough to do(with all the good choices there are now). We don't need you wasting thread space, because you feel the need to tell everyone.
[G1 Android Development] MikLSP:
Hi, quick update...

I created the ext partition after backing up my SD card and tried flashing the ROM again...all has gone well and it booted up just fine after a few minutes :)

Seems the problem was the lack of this partition.

Cheers guys,

Mik
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
IMO, hands down THE BEST HERO ROM EVER. Completely fast and stable, if you are new to Hero Roms, you need to read and do research on how to make it better. If your too lazy stick with the vanilla builds and stop complaining. Or, make a better one yourself. GREAT JOB GUYS, NOW THAT JAC IS BACK, HOPE YOU ALL CAN COLLAB ON HERO SENSE 2.1.
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
i had to leave it behind, the wake up lag wouldn't go away and seemingly out of nowhere my mobile data stopped working, it said connected in phone status but just didn't connect. kept timing out :( i will try again with the next release, i miss sense already
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
actually you don't have to use compcache, i successfully used only linux swap
[G1 Android Development] iLLestCoW:
woot hes really back? cant wait for an update
[G1 Android Development] chris6551:
I dont know what vfat is, I use the recovery screen to partition and it doesnt give me that option, I believe it starts with swap 96, then ext2 512, then remaining. Im really new to all this and just learning as I go, I really do appriciate your help.
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
vfat is gerneric for either fat16 or fat32 which are windows friendly filesystems, which i assume is why they chose it for the sdcard format.

to make more sense of it i used a calculator to figure out the partition start/end

my card is 1974MB

so subtract your 500 and 96 (596) which gives you 1378 ( the end of the first partition)

so create a primary, fat32 partition starting at 32.8kB (which just happens to be the start of empty space on my card) and ending at the number i found above, 1378mb

next create a primary ext2 partition starting where we left off, 1378mb and ending 500mb later - 1878mb

then lastly create a primary linux swap starting at 1878mb and ending at 1974mb

now there is:

1) 1.3gb fat for storage of ringtones/pictures etc

2) 500mb ext2 for apps

3) 96mb swap for swapping

the storage partition needs to be first or it won't be recognized, same with apps being second :)

** i don't use that recovery so i thought you were creating these yourself, the recovery tool in ra recovery will do what i have explained here. it is just worded different in the menu**
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
yup but he said he is working on a nexus rom for the g1
[G1 Android Development] futangclan:
Yeah, I know. I meant that it uses CC in the original user.conf. I prefer not to use a linux-swap if at all possible, since it thrashes the SD card.
[G1 Android Development] chris6551:
Ok ty ive done all of that, and wiped everything 2 times; here is what I did, I first wiped everything in recovery, then partitioned the card, connected to my pc, put the rom on my root of my card, then back to recovery, i wiped again, then flashed and, it gets to coping files aborts. I have the new spl, and recovery image. do you have any suggestions. the only hero rom i can seem to get on my phone is the mlign 3.0 no other one will work for me. I loaded this rom on a friends mytouch and it is so awsome, and Im really wanting it on my g1.
[G1 Android Development] Tydiz:
He says he is messing around with it...It might be a while until we actually see anything from him(as it has been 2 months since he has put anything out). JAC is usually very quite about his plans so I'll wait until he officially says he's back in the game before I believe it
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
I posted a user.conf a few pages back that flies and uses no swap, its all compcache and there is video of how it runs

He said he's working on it so I believe it now, I don't care if he drops it today or next month, I will be supporting it.
[G1 Android Development] Shatterv2:
Gotta give this rom credit and an apology. Using my custom CC configuration and this ROM is very smooth. I supported JAC before and cant wait for his 2.1.

Good job! :-)
[G1 Android Development] jamezelle:
thanks a bunch for the .conf it does wonders for the vogue!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D

EDIT and thanks to the gang for a GREAT ROM!!!!

SenseHERO WIN!!!!!

blue wallpaper

does anyone have the blue wallpaper that is seen with this ROM in some of the screen shots? I have searched everywhere and can't seem to find it with in the rom zip file. I would really appreciate it!!
[G1 Android Development] GBerg2119:
Quick question. How do you get the eclair icons in the rom? I tried using metamorph and morphing the icons in but the images were not sharp at all. They were all pixelated. Is there any other way to get the icons on that look good?
[G1 Android Development] :
Here you will found many wallpapers,I think blue too:)
