I was having problems with 1.2,

people were saying that repartitioning was working for them, and I had been meaning to setup a fourth for ubuntu

I was using .ubuntu on /system/sd , .hidden files survive wipe, I just had to 'tar -delete .ubuntu ext2.tar' via ubuntu later to keep files trim ( the tars don't get md5summed, but sed would have fixed that anyway ;)

Anyway, with a clean SD I had some FCs first run, so I rebooted into recovery and re-flashed ( NO WIPE ) as advised and all was good second time round.

it does seems to defy logic but it did work

I have a theory or two, firstly logcat indicated that lots of jpg/gif files were being 'thumbed' i.e. lots of overhead so a clean SD helped and secondly I guess its down to the overhead of not being optimised that causes the FCs on the first run, with the second run already having some cache so not as much overhead.

As I said I am just guessing here,, in my head it fits :D

tbh I'm not sure how much more efficient ext4 is over ext3 I didn't think it was all that much 'better' but it could be just enough to make the difference.

PS , I Love this ROM King! thanks,

never been a fan of Hero ROMs as they have been slow on my g1 but this is fast :)
[G1 Android Development] Marcop200:
Ok, I'm very insistent but, can I have an answer? Some users reported the 32A port doesn't work and the ROM stops working in the bootscreen. Is it true? The port is for the old or the new Radio/SPL?
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
In bold is what i was referring to. You're not being forced to do anything. You're "constructive criticism" isn't that, it's complaining. Again, if you don't like it, don't flash it. You obviously have some reading skills and what's needed to use this rom are in the change log. Did you do this much complaining when 2.1 first came out?

And don't call me bro, chief. (a comedy reference)

Anyway, getting back on topic..
[G1 Android Development] LORDSKIPPY808:
Just flashed 1.3 and I'm loving everything so far. I was able to get into the market and sign into my gmail account. Awesome work bro :) Can't wait for further updates :)
[G1 Android Development] Markus214:
Kutt your what us real people call a internet thug who is really tough behind a keyboard and can't admit your own stupid mistakes and lets see wait your post count just went up congratulations. It's pretty funny that people get so hostile over there own mistakes and faults.

back to thread.
[G1 Android Development] Markus214:
Kutt whats the last ROM you put out?
[G1 Android Development] jkinnison90:
earlier on 1.2 i kept getting "Android.process.acore" FC over and over again. ended up just flashing a different rom. and now see there is a 1.3 so gonna give it a try.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
I don't use Ubuntu or any linux sort of OS. I'll just repartition then but I hate doing that.
[G1 Android Development] Kutttt:
If you cannot respect honestly than you have a lot of developing to do yourself. You are not looking at the big picture, you are looking at 1 part of what I said and ignoring the rest of what I said thus missing the point... You are singling me out as the only one in here as what you call a "complainer" so you are in the wrong. I am not complaining, I am giving feedback. And you missed the joke. I was referring to the guy who got tazed, hence the phrase, "Don't flame me, bro."
[G1 Android Development] nolimit78:
No I got it, I just added to it. I just took bro and referred to Dane Cook (who was funny when this line was said, but no longer funny now)

But I no longer want to participate in this, as it's not thread related.
[G1 Android Development] ultra spikey:
I just did a comparison between 1.2 and 1.3. Here are my results..

All test were ran on a fresh flash. Also ran after a fresh reboot and in Airplane Mode. Killed all tasks before each test. The only apps I installed were Advanced Task Manager, SetCPU, and Swapper.

SetCPU @ 384min/528max

Swapper @ 96mb @ 80 swappiness

BenchmarkPI(Best out of 5 runs)(lower the better)

1.2 = 13,148 ms

1.3 = 12,800 ms

Benchmark by softweg(Best out of 5 runs)

1.2 GRAPHICS = 122.15

1.3 GRAPHICS = 116.16

1.2 CPU = 156.63

1.3 CPU = 164.90

1.2 MEMORY = 123.08

1.3 MEMORY = 123.13

1.2 FILESYSTEM = 32.75

1.3 FILESYSTEM = 31.36

Linpack(Best out of 5 runs)

1.2 = 2.353 mflops

1.3 = 2.354 mflops

[G1 Android Development] Kutttt:
You are making the King angry. Just follow his simple steps he just figured figured out recently. It will solve all your problems, but don't take my word for it. Make sure to thank the King for the simplicity behind it. Correction... the King did not make the steps, it came from a random users who decided to post it a couple of hours ago, the King was busy riding his big car. Here are the "King's instructions" he so kindly suggested:

Thats what i did for this ROM

Google sign in is appearing for me. but im on 1.6.1 of eclair bc i couldnt use build

Edit: That was reply to choco didn't realize how fast this thread was going

just do that ^^^

it is not brain surgery...................

I'm sure you would have been able to figure it out on your own anyways, right?
[G1 Android Development] elingreen:
*asking again after that lil' scuffle*

same issues for me. i upped to ext4 was able to sign in with google on boot with no issues, but now i can't make phone calls.

rebooting and reflashing (with or without another wipe) doesn't fix this. ideas?
[G1 Android Development] Kutttt:
Thank you Wacky. It has gotten very bad. The level of textual abuse is unacceptable, name calling, rage, anger, hate, it's horrible, thank you.

Alright to get back on topic i will discontinue my feud with Kutt seeing how inappropriate it has gotten
[G1 Android Development] Markus214:
Just a tip for people...

Hey guys here's a little tip. Don't download that link from King's twitter. Download direct link from first page. Follow the guide i had posted thats what i just did and logged in through google and now it all works. There was a bad download link on his twitter i noticed it when one said 13_s and the real one said v1.3_signed

Hopefully this helps people as it did me. Running 1.3 now no problems
[G1 Android Development] chocobo15:
tried it, didn't work :(

still get the same FC
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
So I did it but I don't get a FC and it's grayed out. Every other nandroid I have works though and 1.1 of this is fine.
[G1 Android Development] alnzbail:
why wont the keyboard or front lights work?
[G1 Android Development] smjfosho:
use power control brightness, then the front lights will work.

i dont know about the keyboard lights, i have a mytouch
[G1 Android Development] chocobo15:
oh hey, i have the v1.3_s version ... i'm reDLing and reflashing ... hope this works!
[G1 Android Development] Markus214:
The lights will not work on this ROM because of something and something and something. For a LED Fix for your front lights do that keyboard lights do not light up at the moment. For LED flashing lights use HEROLED or always flash
[G1 Android Development] Markus214:
That was my problem dl the direct link on front page. Than follow my steps and you will be with the rest of us =)
[G1 Android Development] Markus214:
Choco if you have any questions let me know man i'll help ya out
[G1 Android Development] tonnyb:

:D
[G1 Android Development] Cal-El:
Hey King, Thank you soooooo much, this ROM is awesome. Again, thank you. :)
[G1 Android Development] the1gladiator:
First off, lets tip our hat to King. As buggy as the ROM is as he just received it, its still faster than any non King hero/espresso rom out, not to mention that was slick, integrating the espresso dialer and notification window which look MUCH cleaner.

as for the fone not working, reboot that bYtch and cut it back on. i've been making calls on mine all morning

Tip Of The Day...Everytime something doesn't work, reboot. its your safe out until King can get more optimizations in place....
[G1 Android Development] smjfosho:
phone works with me, i didnt even do all the steps.

[G1 Android Development] Vermithrax:
Using the link on the OP and following the directions (which I always do anyway when I flash a new ROM), I have not found any problems yet...

Was able to set up my Google account, both my Yahoo accounts, Facebook, Twitter... Contacts are there and the phone works too...

Now to put back my 170 apps... After that I am going to try the no RAM hack version (Need my games) and possibly put JIT into the mix too...

Excellent work KiNg... You are truly a cutting edge Dev in my book...

I wonder if I can get this working on my BeagleBoard... KiNg Eclair Hero on a 21" LCD... Hmmm...

Keep up the great work! Cannot wait to see what is next...

is MMS & Keyboard backlight working
[G1 Android Development] iWannaBeAdored:
Been running this all day now. I like it :) It runs slightly slower than 1.1 but this is due to the new build. I am sure in a few updates it will severely improve in speed due to Kings epic dev'ing!

wallpaper problem
[G1 Android Development] Remanifest:
Watching this thread... just flashed 1.3, and it's still a bit too buggy for every day use on my end. I'm getting FC errors right after I enter the PIN for my SIM, and the home screen never loads -- loaded fine on 1.2, but there were far too many bugs in that build too.

King, you do great work - looking forward to the future releases.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Its just that one wallpaper....other ones work fine.

yo king, you got any tips for me?

When I flash, it's all koo but when I boot it hangs on g1 screen.

Logcat gets stuck on "unable to initialize core android components".

I've tried completely repartitioning, even reflashing SPL.

I also tried flashing the no ram hack. same thing.

My sd card is class 2, but no swap (it does the same thing with swap btw)

^does class 2 make a difference in this? (i doubt it)
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
i had that prob in 1.1.

just reboot.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
just recreate all parttiions upgrade to ext4 and flash
[G1 Android Development] eagle_007:
I initially had this issue.. later i found that it wasn't much of an issue anyway.

If you successfully signed into your google account, just go to settings --> accounts & sync and then click on refresh button at the bottom.

Hope it helps tho. It certainly did work for me.

I'll use ubuntu to redo partitions, been using recovery lately... mebbe thats the problem.

Just a noob-ish question.

I have just received my Samsung Class 6 8GB sd card. Was wandering if I can utilise it to boost speed using this rom.

I mean would enabling app2sd have any advantage? if yes how can i enable it?

Current SD partition layout; 764MB ext:2 (upgraded to ext 4) and 128MB Swap.

Any help will be appreciated. BTW I did search but could not find any relevant info.

[G1 Android Development] fooyonghwee:
what's the initial boot time? the 32a port doesn't seem to work. can anyone confirm?
[G1 Android Development] Thugsin313:
i followed all the instructions, and flashed the rom, everything went fine!

but as soon as the boot screen ended i keep getting FC's and its working really slow, REALLY REALLY SLOW!!!

is it because of the 4gb class 4 sd-card i am using??

this is the first timei ahve been able to get so far with a hero rom, with all other hero roms i got boot loops!! been using cyanogen roms since rooting, n am kinna tired of it now, help will be apreciated!

i tried it, reformatted and did as instructed to get rid of Gapps problem. Rom is good just can't deal with the no wake problem which has plagued me from since 1.5,1.6 Hero roms. I don't know why it does that. Other words, GREAT WORK King!

[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
was it not booting for you?

if so, what did you do?

i'm stuck on the g1 screen...
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
It stayed there for 20 min then one fully booted i couldn't login at all.

1)So I moved around some apps and deleted others

2)In recovery wiped data and dalvik only

3)went to console and did rm 2

4)quit and reboot recovery

5)partition with 384 EXT and 96 swap

6)upgraded to ext 3 then 4

7)reboot recovery via console

8)put SD into pc and put rom on it

9)flashed

I just glad cause I was trying all sorts of things
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
is this the fastest/ most stable hero rom or are the 1.5 versions better?
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Just make sure you dont use task killers cause you will get the HTC screen I tried 2 killers so far. if you try it make sure you try the pinch and zoom feature on home it will show you all your homescreens.
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
yes mms no backlight:(
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Yes MMs but no lights unless you toggle brightness.
[G1 Android Development] mghtyred:
So far, so good. Only problem seems to be GPS. I'll have to read through the thread again and see if there is a fix. Other than that, everything seems to work at the moment.

[G1 Android Development] bigballa:
prob just a bad flash

make sure u have fat32/EXT4/swap setup

ext4 being especially important

wipe everything

use amon_ra's recovery and wipe data ext and dalvik...

it should work

if it still doesnt

redownload a copy of the rom

Do i have to run kingswap.sh to get it speedy without the 10mb ram hack?
[G1 Android Development] ajclai08:
/I dont have a ext partition, just swap, and it boots fine. I have 170MB or so left on my eternal memory. For some odd reason, the videos i had for Donut are playing better under this build..I'm not complaining. Can't get Google earth to work, no force closes or errors installs from market.. just won't launch.
[G1 Android Development] mghtyred:
well... I just encountered my 2nd freeze/sleep syndrome, so I'm going to try the sans ram hack version of this rom, and when I do, I am going to try replacing the GPS apk with the one from 1.1 and see if that doesn't do the trick for GPS.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
This is hero not AOSP so this needs swap and would be laggy with compache. you don't run that since it doesn't exist in any of his hero roms.
[G1 Android Development] bigballa:
that initializes compcache...if the rom is too slow for u mess aruond with the script
[G1 Android Development] bigballa:
if its not needed why is the script there?
[G1 Android Development] alorayou:
One full day of testing

Very happy overall with the results.

Not as fast or stable as your AOSP 2.1. but being a Hero Sense pays off

I personally had problems with the browser FC while starting, had to install Dolphin instead which works fine.

I also have an issue with SMS, every time I send one the mms app force closes and I have to re-register to the Mobile Network (odd).

Cannot play MP4 either for some reason, tried Youtube and some personal videos, I can hear audio but doesnt play video.

Camera works well, and funnily enough video recording doesnt FC, although doesnt record either (no surprise).

Everyone knows about the GPS, so no comments.

It has got hung a few times (as in have to pull out batt) but nothing serious.

I love it...
[G1 Android Development] mghtyred:
Reflashing now with the Noramhack.zip and a replaced .so file for the GPS... hoping this works. Fingers crossed.
[G1 Android Development] smjfosho:
yeah id like to know if this works. hope it does.
[G1 Android Development] mghtyred:
Rebooting now after initial boot. Didn't get very far... locked up on me while removing widgets from the home screens. May have to tweak the swap settings to get this to work properly without the ramhack... we'll see after this reboot.
[G1 Android Development] smjfosho:
htc bookmark and footprints widgets

these widgets werent present on this rom, so i extracted them from another 2.1 hero rom and installed them. they both work perfect.
[G1 Android Development] mghtyred:
This time got to remove the widgets, installed maps, and froze on maps launch. Will try one more time... think it may just be unstable. If loading maps freezes it again, it's likely because of the replaced library file.

Hopefully that's not the case.
[G1 Android Development] xjjjay:
I'd just like to try this rom and maybe revert back to Super D if I need to... would creating a nandroid+ext backup work to revert back to super D? I would:

1. create nandroid+ext backup

2. wipe, repartition

3. flash new rom

And restore nandroid if I needed to. Is this feasible?
[G1 Android Development] mghtyred:
BOOYAKASHA!!!

If you want GPS on 1.3 replace the libgps.so file from 1.3 with the libgps.so file from 1.1 !!!

Works like a charm!

SMS

I am having real issues with SMS, both sending (crash mms and phone apps and I have to re-register to the Cellular network) and receiving, basically I do not receive SMS.

Could someone using 1.3 let me know if they have also this issue?

I would really need to know if only me or if it is a general problem, thanks
[G1 Android Development] mghtyred:
I haven't tested SMS or MMS yet... been busy getting GPS to work. Will check it out later.
[G1 Android Development] mghtyred:
Oh and before I get a sea of requests asking how to unpack/repack roms, or how to adb push, PLEASE SEARCH if you don't know what you're doing.

If after a search, you still can't figure it out, I'm sure Klick will release a 1.4 as soon as he reads how simple it was to fix this.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
thats wierd I got gps going after enabling it in settings

reguardless, thanks :)

I Could always do a easy no wipe update for that
