Partition help

I have an 8gb card and would like to run 2.1 version 1.5. Can someone help me by specifying exactly what partitions and sizes I need to get this working?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] Wombat:
Magic 32b, VF

1.4 was ok until lock screen... then freeze..

1.4.1 Freezes on boot anim

fat32/ext4/swap...

full wipe

1.4.2 needed??

P.S 1.3 worked perfect apart from the gmail login bug etc... :(
[G1 Android Development] zachattack052:
1.5 updated
[G1 Android Development] zachattack052:
worked fine for me
[G1 Android Development] SlashSpeed:
I have to confirm this. The 1.4.1. gets you stuck on the boot animation:(
[G1 Android Development] zachattack052:
damn, ok.. one sec
[G1 Android Development] VolcanicSkunk:
Had the same problem. Magic 32b 96mb swap/ 512 ext 4/ rem. fat 32. Froze at boot screen. Trying various other ext and swap sizes to see if I can get it to work.
[G1 Android Development] zachattack052:
fixing, dont worry
[G1 Android Development] punchcard:
That's on a Magic 32B

Thanks again
[G1 Android Development] SlashSpeed:
Thanks zach:)

Edit: Going to try the latest 1.5 Hero in the meantime.
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
zach, would it be possible to have the "shiny" launcher of the legend rather than the "dull" hero/eris one?
[G1 Android Development] mikeyman77:
I can also confirm that 2.1-1.4.1 does freeze at the boot animation.
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
eta for .2 ?
[G1 Android Development] rynosaur:
Wow, I'm surprised that so many have had problems -- I was able to flash 1.4.1 and run it with no problems, after a wipe, of course.
[G1 Android Development] AlessandroIT:
I've got it to boot on my MT3G (after pulling off the battery).

But in Logcat i'm getting a continuos SMD Port Open failure..

That's all :)
[G1 Android Development] zachattack052:
lmfao... wow, ok well updated to 1.4.2 anyways.. WIPE!
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
just partitioned, waiting for my files to enter the sdcard
[G1 Android Development] zachattack052:
0o i dont suggest swapper, snappiness is fine.. lol your ok. 96 linnux swap, and whatever ext 2 size
[G1 Android Development] zachattack052:
can someone give me a link to live wallpapers for sense
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
all of the ones that people have made suck... the framework images are screwed so icons are switched, images in the UI are missing, etc...

so don't put it in. they lag anyway.
[G1 Android Development] AlessandroIT:
Zack, can't you fix the SDM open port Error that is filling my Logcat?!

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
And the ones that don't, have mem leaks :[
[G1 Android Development] zachattack052:
ya, i wasn't going to.. just haven't tried them yet lmao.
[G1 Android Development] SG_Shadow:
Boot animation???

Does the 2.1 ROM have the stock boot animation or some funky weird custom one? This is very important to me. I know it sounds petty, but it means a lot to me. Thanks for the answer.
[G1 Android Development] Wombat:
1.4.2, boot loop fixed, but back to FC google partner setup and greyed gmail login again...

can you not do a patch for 1.3 just for gmail? 1.3 works fine apart from the gmail bug.
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
It's the sped up N1 one.
[G1 Android Development] zachattack052:
no, its the stock one
[G1 Android Development] twics:
Im still using zx 2.1 hero v1.2, apart from taskkiller and astro being removed in v1.4 what else is updated since jit has been removed, I guess what im trying to say is v1.4.2 the same as v1.2 just without taskkiller and so on?
[G1 Android Development] AlessandroIT:
Can i have your attention? :)

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
What.. it's the N1 stock sped up one isn't it o_O. BTW can't connect to gapps.
[G1 Android Development] rynosaur:
What's the issue with Swapper/Swapper 2? I've noticed that sometimes it can't make swap settings stick, but apart from that?

I like Live Earth Wallpaper, free on market. It's a resource hog, but man, it's purty. I found it when I was trying to D/L Google Earth for my G1 :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] zachattack052:
there has been speed tweeks, re write of build.prop, a fue changes to some of the .sh codes etc
[G1 Android Development] zachattack052:
0o thats not that big of a bug, thus want to focus on more important things like not having to re part, and make gapps work all of the time (:
[G1 Android Development] VolcanicSkunk:
I can confirm. Gapps not working. Getting FC on Google Parter Setup. Reflashing and trying again. Should I have an ext 4 partition or ext 2? Currently running with 96mb swap, 512mb ext 2.

On a side note: Thanks so much Zach for all the time you've spent working on this for us today.
[G1 Android Development] zachattack052:
no problem. and you have to repartition in this order fat32/2/3/4 + repair ext
[G1 Android Development] SG_Shadow:
Skip the wait...

Hero 2.1 v1.4.2 Mirror Download Link: ~NO WAITING~
[G1 Android Development] VolcanicSkunk:
Hero 2.1 v1.4.2 Everything working, Gapps too! =). Thanks Zach!

mt3g 32b

96mb swap

512 ext 4
[G1 Android Development] rynosaur:
Here's what I did on my T-Mo US G1 (as Zach's saying):

1. Reboot to recovery (for me, AmonRa 1.7)

2. Repair ext

3. BART backup (of 1.4.1)

4. Wipe: Usr/Data, Cache (redundant, but hey), Dalvik-Cache, Ext Wipe, Battery Stats Wipe, Rotate Settings Wipe

5. Repair Ext again (I have an Ext4 partition)

6. Flash 1.4.2

7. Repair Ext again again

8. Power down (it's 90F here today, my buddy needs a cool-down)

9. Reboot

10. Wait

11. Enter SIM unlock code

12. Select English

13. Voila!

thnx, Zach & all

Thanks!

[G1 Android Development] zachattack052:
thanks for your help, much appreciated
[G1 Android Development] SG_Shadow:
Thanks...

...for wasting my time. I specifically asked if there was a custom boot screen and was told no by the OP. Thank goodness for nandroid restore...
[G1 Android Development] elfasito:
flash error v1.4.2, as if required under other spl.

cap:
[G1 Android Development] ciervo5389:
whats the difference between this build and KingKlicks DroidEris2g1 + WG kernel?
[G1 Android Development] rakwulf:
Really Like This...

Hey Zach,

i kinda love this ROM! Its blazing fast! But is there a possibillity to add german language support? Or is it based on a US-only ROM?
[G1 Android Development] zachattack052:
ya if you want
[G1 Android Development] nyc4bx:
Ok im gunna try to get this to run as fast as possible on my g1 what ext pattition size do you recommend? And the other partitions too (I can't remember they're names
[G1 Android Development] r0man:
Can't sign in to Google on 1.1, it's greyed out in the setup wizard and any Google app just has a white screen before going back to home after 5 or so seconds
[G1 Android Development] zachattack052:
did you wipe your ext partition and re partition in this order ext 1/2/3/4?
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
so far initial setup has gone nice and smooth... so do we enable swap in spare parts or is this done with the initial setup?>

edit*** also terminal is fc with the hero 2.1
[G1 Android Development] purplxhaze420:
how are we supposed to do this... when the beginning partition is EXT2? In my Recovery.. it goes EXT2 -> Upgrade to EXT3 -> Upgrade to EXT4 ... how do we achieve ext1? Does this even matter?

or do you mean we need four SEPARATE EXT paritions?
[G1 Android Development] purplxhaze420:
+1.. doesnt work for me either. need my contacts and market! =/

com.google.android.partnersetup gets a nice fat FC!! lol
[G1 Android Development] zachattack052:
worked fine for me and my beta testers
[G1 Android Development] zachattack052:
partition is 1 lmao
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
everything works fine for me. was able to sign in and sync.. just can't terminal to work. and i'm not very good with adb so i can't remove it that way...
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
Is it really speedy? Or just regular xP
[G1 Android Development] rakwulf:
Re: ZX 2.1 HERO v1.1 "off to a good start" [fast][stable]

Should I, or how could I do that by myself? Not even an idea of that topic. Or are you going to implement german lang within your next build.

I think you'd make some people very happy with that!!

Thanks and congrats for this speedy build!!

[G1 Android Development] just2good4u3434:
I must admit, I'm impressed. Fastest, most stable Sense build I've used. Very responsive. Hands down faster than King's roms (still appreciate his work though)
[G1 Android Development] 1wingangel:
it says ''fully functional'', but what about camera/camcorder?
[G1 Android Development] ciervo5389:
any response^^^?
[G1 Android Development] CLEV3R:
when this gets updated do you think you could add the news widget and maybe friend stream??
[G1 Android Development] zachattack052:
its a 2.1 hero, its faster.. try it
[G1 Android Development] 1wingangel:
all I need to know is my previous Q about the camera then I'll try it:)
[G1 Android Development] jshealton:
Just flashed 1.4.2 and ...

There were no problems. No Gapps fc. Logged in. I am still getting:

E/DMAgent ( 3649): SMD Port open failure.[v1.1.2.12231200]

Not sure what that means. I hope this helps.
[G1 Android Development] zachattack052:
0o you must have been talking about the 2.1 sorry i thought you were talking about the 1.5. but honestly whats the big deal, its a boot animation
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
Don't worry, he likes to throw hissy fits a lot.
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
I am runningthe 2.1 Rom oc to 652. It's pretty good, has a little lag but sense find normally have somelag. overall, nice Rom, keep up the good work!
[G1 Android Development] rynosaur:
That's what happens when you don't do a complete wipe--but just to be sure, why don't you reflash radio (26i+), hardspl, and dangerspl again (and then the ROM, without powering off, of course!)?
[G1 Android Development] VolcanicSkunk:
Call lag... No More!!!

Thank you so much Zach for this newest update! Runs super smooth. And most important, thank you for fixing the call lag!
[G1 Android Development] zachattack052:
lmao, thanks.. i think im going to move on from zx 1.5 hero to zx 2.1 hero, and see what else i can do to it to make it fly (:
[G1 Android Development] lightninbug:
OK..... For the 2.1....Must I say...ZachAttack?!?! More like HeartAttach from all the speed this rom gives you..good job u som ***** :)
[G1 Android Development] jrharvey:
Actually yes. I have been theming every one of his ROMS to be more "legend" like since 1.1. This was of course for personal use. I could start uploading them when he updates if you want. I may even do more suck as each APK and all the framework rather than just the lock screen, launcher and a few small things. We will see.
[G1 Android Development] elfasito:
I thought that this rom working with original spl?! I have not danger-spl
[G1 Android Development] jrharvey:
What animation would you like? I mean its easy to change. Real easy.
[G1 Android Development] twics:
Zach 1.4.2 is flying for me:D only thing is there's less elastic spring back effect when scrolling through home screens which is a minor thing anyway.

KEEP IT UP/ GREAT WORK.
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
I believe that's supposed to happen, except more smoothly xD
[G1 Android Development] jrharvey:
WOW zach. This 1.4.2 ROM is a HUUUUUGE speed boost over v1.2. What the heck did you do?
[G1 Android Development] zachattack052:
0o trying to tell you guys.. just a few secret speed tweaks
[G1 Android Development] kyleds:
yeah....

steroids!!! lol
[G1 Android Development] zachattack052:
lmao, thats it. i gave some ster-o-droids
[G1 Android Development] kyleds:
my notification bar wont pull down... and cant select it when pressing menu button. was this covered before?
[G1 Android Development] jrharvey:
Works for me.
[G1 Android Development] x1tyme:
Hope you overdoes it soon ;). I haven't use SetCpu yet and it amazing already.

I notice battery usage increase??
[G1 Android Development] Babyface1249:
+1, always had this issue on this rom, and use different kernels because of it. Please fix. Also, STILL having the flashing trackball. I know it's an easy fix, but why not just put it in the rom? Just one less thing for the user to have to fix.
[G1 Android Development] x1tyme:
Is your theme add-on without wipe?? If so, upload it..I want some theme...
[G1 Android Development] kyleds:
nevermind. a good reset fixed it ;)
[G1 Android Development] jrharvey:
Thats what Im trying to figure out. Im not sure I know how to create an update script for a theme. What I have been doing is modifying the ROM itelf and resigning it. Other ROMs like cyans they have a theme template which makes it easy to simply replace the files. Its really simply to replace the needed files (only 2) and resign the ROM. Would you like me to just upload the 2 framework files or even the entire ROM? It would require another flash though. Maybe someone could help me out with a no-wipe update?
[G1 Android Development] Wombat:
Unfortunatly I cant use this ROM anymore if there was a gapps/gmail fix for 1.3 then i would.

The "- takes for ever to become unstable" is now 3 mins after boot (clean install).

cant answer phone, just blank screen keeps ringing...

tried with setcpu on/off still slows down to a crawl after 2-3 mins, get FC's on rosie etc...

Pitty 1.3 had potential :)
[G1 Android Development] twics:
To anyone who might know this, if I wanted to use Friendstream app with this rom what files do I need to push, I know il need the friendstream.apk and widget and im sure il need frameworks or somthing like that or is it not as easy as that:)
[G1 Android Development] Jerzeeloon:
I want to try the 2.1 1.4.2 on my mytouch but don't have an ext partition,nor do I want one.To anyones knowledge will this run without an ext if I use firerats mt3g friendly apps2sd patch?
[G1 Android Development] jrharvey:
DONT NEED TO PATCH. It seems to be already mytouch friendly. I dont have an Ext partition either. ROM runs much smoother and quicker now that I have ditched A2sd. If you dont have a ext partition it will simply install all apps to internal.
[G1 Android Development] shiftedx:
No mater what I try I can't seem to get google partner setup to not FC on first boot.. =[

2.1 1.42
[G1 Android Development] Jerzeeloon:
Thanks,I flashed without patch and it froze at nexus bootscreen,any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] shiftedx:
I had the same result I'm starting to think that this rom is just a hit or miss as far as installing goes, it took me 3 tries all full wipes to get the google sync to not FC on first boot, 2 of them i tried not having an EXT partition so the apps would install locally and that didn't work at all lol :p
[G1 Android Development] jrharvey:
It is very important that you WIPE everything and maybe even twice. I installed flashed the ROM once and then WITHOUT wipe flashed again. The dealbreaker I have noticed is to just LET THE PHONE SIT upon first boot. Do not rush the setup. Once the phone boots to the lockscreen let it sit and DO NOT touch any buttons or go past the lock screen until you see that your SIM has connected to its carrier. When I install I wait till I get connected to T-Mobile and then let it sit another 5-10 minutes after that. Then once I go in I have no problem logging into google. This is an important step and if you ignore it then you will be locked out of google for some reason. its not the ROM, its most every ROM out now (2.1) I have seen this on other sense ROMS and Cyans Roms as well. I know its a long and painful process upon first boot but it works every time for me. i have tested this probably 10 times now total. If I rush setup then i get greyed out google sync. If I am patient and wait, it works every time.

What version did you install? Version 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 both froze at boot for me. 1.4.2 works perfect on my phone. Make sure you have newest version.

I have a 192mb swap but if I run "free" in terminal I see it uses 114mb Swap total. Maybe 96 is OK but better have too much than too little I think. Especially now that Zachattack says do not use taskiller then that extra swap will come in handy. Personally I would set a 200mb swap but thats just me. Is there any reason NOT to have more?
[G1 Android Development] goofyog:
google partner setup works only with WIFI OFF
[G1 Android Development] jrharvey:
WOW really? I havent seen any of these issues with the newest 1.4.2. Ok im not sure if it does anything but when i Wipe and flash I do it like this. Wipe EVERYTHING (even rotate settings and battery stats). Then I flash ROM. Then WITHOUT wiping I flash ROM again. Then i just restart and it seems to work. 1.4 and 1.4.1 both locked up at boot but 1.4.2 works perfect for me and REALLY much faster than 1.2 and 1.3.

I had wifi on when I logged on.
[G1 Android Development] Jerzeeloon:
@jrharvey Well I did flash version 1.42,froze on boot,took out battery tried again,again froze on boot,I only have a 96mb swap because I don't run alot of sense roms and 96 seemed pratical,dont want to repartition,to much stuff i dont feel like re copying to sd,and lastly not trying to knock team zx but this is the 4th time I've tried one of there roms and I always get bad results.

What version did you install? Version 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 both froze at boot for me. 1.4.2 works perfect on my phone. Make sure you have newest version.

I have a 192mb swap but if I run "free" in terminal I see it uses 114mb Swap total. Maybe 96 is OK but better have too much than too little I think.

You can easily expand the swap partition without reformatting your drive with a simple tool called gparted. Its a live cd that runs when your computer boots. Download the ISO, burn to disk, reboot computer and boot the cd, go through the quick setup (defaults are fine so keep hitting enter to make it go fast) then connect your phone from recover and select USB toggle. Your device should show up on the partition menu of gparted. You can select your device from the right hand side pull down menu. You may have to refresh devices. From there you can add ext partition, delete ext, make swap bigger (whatever size you want) etc etc etc.... This is how I do it. Just saying :)

ok I repartitioned,I now have 256mb of swap,but I still cant solve the boot freezing issue,I've wiped everything,repatitioned,and flashed 1.42 again,still locks up on nexus boot?
[G1 Android Development] jrharvey:
Are you using Firerats Mytouch friendly a2sd patch? If not the I guess try it. I dont know what else to say. It worked perfect for me without the patch (rom only) and that was twice. First time stock rom and second my modified version. Maybe try Re downloading. Is your mytouch the one with a 35mm headphone jack maybe?
[G1 Android Development] rynosaur:
We could help you specifically if you could give your model # (look for 32B or 32A), which can be found on the bootloader screen (reboot/power with the camera key held). I think jrharvey is on to something. If you have a ebi1/32A MT3G, you'll need this to use a newer Cyanogen kernel:

http://briancrook.ca/android/cm-ports/bc-4.2.15.1-ebi1-signed.zip

If you just have a 32B, you might have to clear all your non-essential partitions with fastboot, or restore an earlier Nandroid (a <64mb ROM would be helpful, then clear you SDcard, reformat, repair, reflash). Seems like a pain, but it'll be worth it once you're up and running, 1.42 is really fast & functional. :)
[G1 Android Development] Jerzeeloon:
I do have a 32b,I dont know clear partitions with fast boot,i just wipe data and dalvik using amon ra 1.6.2,I did repartition my sd card,I'll give this one more go with the firerat patch,if no avail,oh well,getting the mt slide next wednesday anyway,just wanted something cool on my old mytouch.And ps there is no camera key on the mytouch
[G1 Android Development] rynosaur:
oh, you're not using dangerSPL, eh? Hmm, I can't promise it'll work, but I'm sure Zach knows how to deal with that Firerat-script scenario. BTW, you can usually clear the sdcard with AmonRA 1.6+ rather than reformat . . .

By the way, has anyone had problems using Terminal Emulator in v1.2.4. I've tried the version which came with the build and the one on the market, and both force close :(
[G1 Android Development] VolcanicSkunk:
I am running a 32b with the stock spl and this rom works great for me! I have a 96mb swap and a 512mb ext4. I had the same problem trying to load the 1.4.2 without a ext partition. Jerzeeloon I would just repartition and take the hit on time. I only wiped data and dalvik, partitioned in order of ext 2, repair, upgrade to 3, upgrade to 4, repair again. Worked for me with Amon Ra 1.6.2. Hope this helps.
[G1 Android Development] VolcanicSkunk:
I get a force close on my terminal emulator as well.
[G1 Android Development] jrharvey:
If you reinstall terminal then it works. For some reason it just wont work if you install it with the ROM. Zachattack... there really isnt any point in including it with the ROM any more. It just wont run. Install from the market or a backup and it works fine.
[G1 Android Development] kyleds:
No spare parts?
[G1 Android Development] Lieu10ant:
can someone PLEASE record a video of the speed on this rom?
[G1 Android Development] jrharvey:
When I get home from work I could.

I will say it is fast. I dont even have ANY call lag at all. I have tested this several times. As soon as I call my phone from another phone it rings imediately AND the best part is, the caller id actually shows up at the same time. First Sense ROM I have EVER used that did that other than the 1.5 ROM in this thread. Of course this is how it is on my device. Im not sure how a G1 handles it because Apps2SD may slow down phone lag some. Not sure.

[G1 Android Development] SG_Shadow:
I wanted the all white screen with htc brilliant in green. To my knowledge, it's the default sense ui 2.1 boot animation. Sorry for being a nitpick, but I just like default, very fast sense ui ROM's. I don't care for custom apps, boot animations, etc. Thanks for understanding.
[G1 Android Development] jrharvey:
nevermind.
[G1 Android Development] jrharvey:
I think I can pull the one from the Legend ROM. Actually the REAL animation for the origional rom is a Verizon logo. I doubt you want a verizon logo right? Do you know how to resign a ROM zip? Ill see what I can do when I get home from work. I HAVE seen that boot animation somewhere. Lets just hope that its still in the Kings legend rom.
