if you want a certain script added, chances are some1 else does too. if you have an idea, or find a script you want added, please either post or PM me. i take a look at this thread alot throughout the day, so i will be able to see your ideas quickly. YOUR IDEAS ARE IMPORTANT
first of all, i did not write this script, i took it from the thread HTC Hero Speedup v2.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521421), which was put together by tehseano, who i must thank, however, it seems to only work for Haykuro's Hero ROM
THIS SCRIPT is made to speedup the HTC HERO rom on the g1's. my speedup script is made to work under JACman's. if tried on someone elses, you could brick your phone (although i doubt it), and i will not take responcibility for bricks
trying to use it under JACman 1.72, i couldn't get tehseano's script to work, so im going through a bunch of tweaking and editing for it to work under JACman roms (im guessing twistedumbrella's too).
currently, i'm about to release version 0.2. - released
i have fixed most of the directories and codes except for Battery fix, i have gotten the HTC camera to work, read the readme file
out of curiosity, does any1 have any preference on where i upload the files? want someplace easy and fast, so no rapidshare or anything like that. first working suggestion gets it
please do not use option #8 once it is up, it is not done yet
everything else should be good. this is made STRICTLY for JACman roms, not haykuro's, but twistedumbrella's should work, since it is based off of JACmans
____________________________________________________________________________________________
version 0.2 - http://www.4shared.com/file/113524687/c98398cd/AJZ_HeroSpeed_02.html
very minor changes
fixed the scripts
working on a battery fix
version 1.0 will be more compatible with JAChero 1.8, i expect to release that in the next few day, but this might not be possible because i'm going on vacation
_____________________________________________________________________
I ACCIDENTLY UPLOADED THE BAT AS A TXT FILE. im not gunna change it, so until the next release, just rename the file as a bat
0.1.5: http://www.4shared.com/file/113343120/6c89dd65/AJZ_HeroSpeed_015.html
i must thank dpgc213 for creating the original lockscreen change bat file
Changes:
deleted option to delete pc sync, causes bootloops and doesnt exist
added possibility to change the screen lock image (although doesnt have to do with speed)
added quick directions for changing the lock screen image
____________________________________________________________________________________________
version 0.1 - http://rapidshare.com/files/247165073/hero_speedup_2.0_AJZ_0.1.zip
here's a mirror of 0.1 http://www.4shared.com/file/113320662/7e513586/hero_speedup_20_AJZ_01.html
in version 0.2, expect to see support for the deletion of htc sync, and support for changing your lock screen
can you please include instructions for mac users? thanks good work
did you get it to work with JACman 1.72, you said you would try to tweak it, but did not say if you were successful?
I dont know how to apply the script cuz its made for windows, If some1 put instructions plz?

#2 just deletes your htc sync, which idk what it does anyways.
in 0.2, i will try to fix this, as well as add support to change your lock screen
i got the change lockscreen part in, now just gatta see the problem with htc sync

When I ran option 3, 6 and 5 in that order without a reboot and then reboot after I did all those I got a bootloop, when I did #5 it was saying success on each one. If I installed dextop-wrapper awhile back like weeks ago do I have to install it again because I didn't install it. I figured I still had it.

my only suggestion is to wipe and reinstall your ROM, then do everything in order. i cant tell you exactly, because i cant actually see your phone
Okay, thanks I'll try that tomorrow when I get home.

Yes.
That's what I'm using ti with. And it's made Rosie completely usable for the first time for me.
Has anyone had the experience where Rosie was really fast when first optimizing using whatever procedure but then lags down over time? That was what I experienced when using a different optimizer. Hopefully this one is consistent.
These are entirely unchanged from the ROMs on the thread over in Dream land below (apart from one small fix for Exchange in version 1.0)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534479
These are JAC and Drizzy's ROMs, not mine - all I've done is unpack the ROM, change one file in boot.img to make it work on a Magic, and then repack it all and sign it. So we'll forego the sigfile saying "if you like my work please buy me a Ferrari". However, this whole thing is a bit of a faffy operation and not something that's simple to set up (although is easy enough once you have everything you need in place) so I thought I'd share and save others the grief rather than hogging all the fun for myself.
These have come about because I wanted a Hero ROM, but wasn't entirely satisfied with the best one available for the Magic (Qtek's, IMO). It worked well, but the swap version dropped SMS messages sometimes, and the Compcache version was buggy, sluggish, and wifi didn't work.
JACxHERO seems to have a number of the same issues that Qtek has - dropped SMS messages (it seems that the lack of memory on the device causes the SMS/MMS process to die), and the Compcache version has broken Wifi. I said earlier on that I thought this version was oddly sluggish, but after setting up Compcache with backing swap I am loving it. By far the best Hero ROM on my own setup so far. No Wifi is a drag but I can live with it for now.
JACHeroSki 2.7.4.r2 in contrast is an older build, and one suspects they're using an older kernel; it has a working Compcache setup, but no conventional swap at all, and no multitouch. A good call if you have a slow SD card, can live without multitouch, and positively have to have wifi.
Bottom line as I see it:
Fast SD card? Use JACxHero v1.2. But you might lose SMSes (that said, no-one's reported any yet - I just worry about lack of memory issues)
Slow SD card but need wifi, and can live without multitouch? Use JacHeroSki 2.7.4 r2.
Slow SD card and want multitouch, or you insist on Compcache for other reasons, and not interested in wifi? Use JACxHero v1.0.
I personally am running 1.0 and after not being keen initially, it is growing on me and turning into a keeper. I only ever use wifi when at home and can do without it there, so it's not a problem for me.
----
JACxHero Version 1.2 - seems fast, but no Compcache
http://www.4shared.com/file/123726235/aa3ee695/jacxhero12-pn-magic.html
JACxHero Version 1.0 - Compcache, WiFi doesn't work properly. Works well if you enable backing swap and up the swappiness. See my user.conf on page 3 of the thread.
http://www.4shared.com/file/123729537/191c816a/jacxhero10-pn-magic.html
http://www.4shared.com/file/123821706/7250ac6b/jacxhero10-exfix.html (version with Exchange fix - I haven't tested this but it should be fine)
(version 1.1 didn't seem to be enormously different than 1.2; I did try it and have a working .zip but don't see much point uploading it)
JACHeroSki v2.7.4r3 - Compcache works by default, as does wifi. Note, though, there's no multitouch in the browser, which is a bit fail.
http://www.4shared.com/file/123798395/c61c220a/jacheroski274r2-pn-magic.html
NOTE THAT ALL OF THESE NEED THE USUAL THREE PARTITIONED SD CARD! i.e. fat32/ext2/swap
why have the v1.2 no compcache?
eljuego
As a note remember that JACxHero Roms dont have Compcache enabled by default.
The first post in the Dream Forum JacxHero thread tells you how to enable it - you need to edit the user.conf file, which i think is in /system/bin, can't remember right now.
It tells you which settings to change to get each combination of linux-swap and compcache
(BTW I know as it's working for me...)
Is it for 32A or 32B?
The rom for 32a or 32b ?

No idea mate. I suspect it was because of the issues with WiFi that they removed it until they could fix it.
One oddity I've noticed - the weather widget doesn't work. i select London as a city, it has a bit of a churn saying "loading weather", and no weather ever turns up. Clicking into the weather app workable fine.
Snap judgement - it's not as fast as Qtek's Rom. Just feels a bit "off". Maybe it's just me.
Loccy, the widget are buggy you sure you have ported the version 1.2 not the version 1.1 ? In version 1.2 the widget are fixed
edit : The widget have no border, but the rom is really fast probably the fastest rom i have tested !!!!

Am pretty sure I called 1.2 the right filename but I was drowning in roms by the end so it is possible I got them mixed up. Can't check until I get home now though.
Either way I'm not too impressed - more bugs than Qtek and it is eating battery (although I have been hammerring the phone more or less constantly over the few hours I've been out). I think when I get home I'm going to build the final JacHeroski Rom and see how that goes, I believe that has Compcache running.
Dazcox, how are you finding this Rom? You've been running it longer than me.
Actually I've been using QTek today... but about to install this one will let you know

Really? It's not a patch on Qtek for me. How fast's your SD card?
Am just downloading the final release of JacHeroSki - v2.7.4r2 - and will give that a try. I wonder if some of these new releases are a little too bleeding edge to be useful. If a worthwhile update.zip for the 32B emerges I'll post it here.

Ah. I have the stock 2Gb Vodafone pile of ****e (plus an "8Gb class 6" that I bought from ebay that causes a reboot loop on my Magic ). That'd probably be the problem for me.
Right chaps, here's another one for you. This is JacHeroSki version 2.7.4 r2. Someone else here has done JacHeroSki previously*, but I don't think they ever updated to the final release. It's a little behind the curve in that JAC seems to have gone on to work with Dizzy, and in a different direction, and it won't see any more development. It has working Compcache, but lacks the fancy config scripts of later builds. If you want to play with your Compcache settings, you need to edit the a2sd script in /system/bin. No conventional swap or facility for one. I'd say this is pretty much where Qtek was trying to go with his Compcache ROM though:
http://www.4shared.com/file/123729537/191c816a/jacxhero10-pn-magic.html
Am not sure I'm going to stick with this, however. I've just seen in the thread on the Dream forum that you can get Compcache working in JacXHero 1.2 by nabbing the boot.img from 1.0, so I'll give that a go too. What I'd really like is a working ROM with Compcache and swap as a backup.
edit: * speak of the devil, it's just turned up on the front page of the threads, they did do the final release, but it was for 32A not 32B. Oh, and am very disappointed to find no multitouch in the browser.

Honest answer? I don't know. I got a couple of text earlier when running JACxHERO 1.2, and I was hammering the browser at the time (if icanhascheezburger.com isn't going to run you out of available memory, I don't know what is). But I think a definitive answer will have to come from people who text more than I. Unfortunately texts seem to be an issue on all Hero ROMs on the G1 and the Magic 32B, because of memory - hence why my goal is to get a build with as much "memory" as possible, even if most of it is swap and compcache sleight of hand.

Which one? I found I had to completely clean off my ext2 partition before it'd run (coming from the Qtek ROM). Well, actually what I did was go into the recovery console and shift everything the Qtek had left in ext2 into another directory so that this ROM didn't get confused by it

If you were coming from Qtek's Rom, like I did, It does boot loop unless you clean your ext partition first, then wipe and reinstall the rom. It runs like a champ.
to erase the ext: boot into recovery
then from adb shell : run
mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
rm -rf /system/sd/*
then do whats stated above and no boot loop anymore.
PS: Loccy thx for the port.
PPS: to get this working with compcache instructions are in the first post of the dream rom

Should do, if you use the partitioning option on the recovery image, that'll wipe everything.

De nada. All I did was just change a few files.
I'm done for the night now people. I did try to get 1.2 running with 1.0's boot.img, but ended up with a ROM that had no working wifi and no apparent Compcache. I figured that wasn't any better than 1.0 proper (which I'm going to give another crack and see if I can tidy up the Compcache settings to my satisfaction - I can live without wifi for now).

I feel abit slower than cm5.0.7 test3.
Thanks for the hard work.
Hello New Thread.
I kinda figured you fell asleep last night Kolohe. I will check your beta when I get home from work later today and put up the mirror. I am going to keep your old ROMs up there too
got a question.
Did a total wipe and when it booted up first time, I got a low space warning. Apparently a whole bunch of my apps that were on SDcard came back as installed. And because on first boot, apps2sd isn't on yet, it tried to put them on internal (I had about +/- 80 apps come back from my 139 total)
So I backed out, rewiped data, dalvik, and ext, and reflashed rom. It boot up fine again, but once again, it immediately installed 7 of the apps (replica island, docs to go, pobs... just to name a few). So I moved them to sd card and all is fine.
The question is:
1. Is this normal? I've never had this happen before CM5 based ROMs. I haven't tried any other Eclair roms except the CM5 based ones and I wasn't sure if this is a behavior that's normal for 2.1 roms.
2. Why only some of the apps come back? Isn't wiping ext supposed to clear it all out or am I mistaken?
Just wanted to let you know, there seems to be a problem with using Backup for Root users. It will break any apps allready installed and fix_permissions or Repair ext will not help, I have found this to be true on all CY5 based roms.
EDIT:Restoring SMS,Call log and even Market DB seems to work fine after running Fix_permissions, Restoring APPS Does Nothing.(No APPS Restored) It Was trying use the Dusted-donuts hack that caused the apps to be Broken.
EDIT:::: The problem WITH APPS NOT WORKING APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY ME TRYING TO USE THE JIT HACK "DUSTED-DONUTS" LIKE I DID WITH 4.1. I believe the JIT Flash Update for Cy5 will work though.
EDIT: JIT-HACK It does work.http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=245 this is what i used.
Thanks again for a great rom!
This thing Flies!
I'm using the Jit-Hack And AnyKernel OC Patch,changed swappiness to 95 in 86supersettings,and cpu refresh to 1000000(kills batt),and Cpu Min/Max to 122800/716000. Still using SetCPU for Sleep/failsafe Profile.
EDIT2: I just noticed that at the initial google sign in screen you can press menu and in addition to the normal Wireless settings option there is now an option to disable auto restore!( I know you probably already knew that and it has been mentioned a hundred times!)
well gonna give this a try let u know soon for any bugs
To confirm this is JACP?
Watching logcat I saw that debugger daemon is enabled. I/Debug.
and is this based on CE-5.0 t2? or are patches for T3 in place?
quick question:
If I extracted the boot img from this rom and flashed it with my currently installed CM 5.0.7 test 3 would it still have the same speed boost, optimization, and cache clearing settings?
Not that I don't want to flash this rom itself, but I was just wondering if I could also try out the features with another.
Will fix the apparently problem but that might be caused by thenew boot script that wipes the dalvik cache. .. will be working on that later today

Also as a side note, I think apps2sd must be enabled by default,or get rid of the auto app restore thing. I think it is going to confuse people and clutter up the threads.
But thanks again for a great rom!

with atool download the latest 2.6.32 kernel, modify it as desired
flash your unlocked phone following this tutorial or use atool scripting ability
update needed : none
work : everything except camera !!!! very smooth and very reliable(no missed call for 1 week, that's a revolution) and not so bad battery life
finally, development kernel seems to be not so far from "ready to production" status, with even better nand stability
we're waiting rom update and next krazykilla's kernel with polaris support, for a better stability and ability tu put data on ext4 partition
Thank you to scooter, liquid nr2jt and all androidhtccrew for their tuff work
Nand is not perfect and run corruption sometime that crash your setup : use the nand startup "backup/restore" data ability after you have configured your rom and favorite applications, to avoid loss of everything : it will create a 256Mb image of nand memory in your SD card /andboot directory that you can restore later in case of crash.
you can increment this backup later if you are happy with future modification of your rom
TIPS : noticed that setup as it is is good enough, people at cyanogenmod know their business
- Tip 1 : in atool, you can try to increase advanced battery capacity to improve accuracy because N2jrt has noticed battery calculation is not good and there's a correction factor of 1.6 to apply (i put 1900 but you can increase to 2200 in theory)
- Tip 2 : you can download Roguetool from the market to overclock your phone
- Tip 3 : try the app named killerauto from the market, it does a very good job with very comprehensive settings to free your ram in real time (and increase battery life)
- Tip 4 : In cynogenmod parameters/performance : check the "keep home in memory option" and activate compcache (10%) to get better result - i don't activate JIT
- Tip 5 : i've noticed that's the battery widget is cause of some trouble sometime, you can get rid of it in this case
what's next
- make polaris' atool development kernel compatible with release 6 : thx to scooter and liquid by advance
- Make crazykilla kernel with ext4 support available for polaris (release from his #54 thread doesn't work for me) or maybe unified every kernel to get the best one
crazykilla's kernel is a usual kernel without the polaris support compiled, i don't know why the #54 version don't work and i can't test it anymore (my polaris has a toasted nand).

maybe i missed something
Blinking screen
I've tried it with my XDA Orbit II and all I get is the white blinking screen after running haret. It's written in the man that it takes a lot of time, so I left it and went to sleep When I woke up, the screen was still blinking the same way and had to remove the battery to reboot. WM booted fine, there were files system.img and data.img created on the microsdcard of the size of 300mb (I don't want to flash it on NAND as it is my first attempt to install new software on phone). I tried Froyo, now trying Eclair and after an hour it looks the same. What might be wrong? Should I try stable kernel or other setups?

i don't know such setup sorry, i work on nand only to get real speed
I don't want to try flashing on NAND until I find a setup that would satisfy me and work well as I would in practice lose the phone for some time while trying to make it work. So far I've succesfully installed this, but I can't make the PIN code work. I tried to disable it in WM in phone settings, but when I do it, it requires me to enter the PIN, and doesn't accept it, just as Android does :/ Does the PIN code problem occurs in NAND installation as well?
this setup is really not ready. i tried so many times and it always hangs and at the end you'd be reinstalling the system back. I'm sticking back to the Not-So-Super-Froyo setup and has since found it to be very very stable although no camera and no GPS working on it. Just a bit of tip to all those who try and occasionally reinstall, after you have found a good stable setup, install your basic favorite apps and games, then get reboot the phone, access the Android Boot Menu and choose Backup Data on the choices. The system will save your stable setup on an image file on your sdcard. So anytime you have a system crash, you can just choose to Restore Data from the Boot Menu. Saves you a lot of installation.

yes if i remember well my past haret experience, i had to deactivate PIN in WM to make android work

what kernel do you use ? i use liquid's 2.6.25 + kernel update
I finally follow your advise and came back to "not so super" and begin to use the "backup data" function...
The best setup so far
I've tried deactivating in WM, but that doesn't work as I've written above. I also tried to disable PIN using my friend's LG AT&T and it didn't work either so I guess I have to try some PC software or go to my service provider and ask them to do it. Thanks for replies.

lol i've read about the 2.6.25 working camera several times yet i chose to follow the blunt idea that "everything current is best ever" setup.
Anyway ill follow your advise now hehe and finally will have a working camera back again. anyway we have a backup hehe. Thanks man!!!
by the way, i liked your post title a lot haha.

yeah that's why i try other roms today (i'm in a rom rush ) to see if situation is better with backup trick
i saw the great nr2jt say in a topic that he save is data every morning to prevent its loss
that's why i give another try with scoot 5.5 with liquid's 2.6.32
Hey liquid do something for us to use 6 release
post 1 updated
After numerous builds+kernels, loads of frustration (and the inevitable revert to wm for a while) I think I like this setup. Simplicity at its best, Scoot CyanogenMod (RLS5.5) and latest 2.6.32 from atools as per 1st post. Just re-purposed the camera button as 'home'. Even my headset works, albeit intermittently.
Which settings for ATools for pola200?
Hi,
i tried to install this rom on my german pola200. But on the Linux Bootscreen the text is scrolling down and sayes that it installs the rom. But than it scrolls down error messages.
I tried this for houres but it shows no final error or something. The Text is scrolling on and on.
So i think that i used the wrong settings in atool. I used this tutorial to set up atool: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstallWithAtoolsNand
What settings should been used?:
- What version to select?: Donut, Eclair or Froyo?
- Best settings for sd-card-partition? I used first partition 3 gb fat32, second partition 1 gb ext2.
- where should i install system and data? Both on second sd-partition? Or should there be a third partition? (the first time i tried to install the system on intern memory but install runs out of space)
Can you please explain the right settings in atool?
best version is froyo.
to choose sd-card partition, you must have your sdcard PREPARED beforehand. Atool does not partition your sdcard for you. As of what to use to partition your sdcard you can search it at google. (im sorry im a little bit short on time now). choose NAND on both system and DATA.
atools has sd partioner inside so you can repart sd card (boot script editor Y), but the sdcard must have only one partition on it (fat32).
i stand corrected thanks l1qu1d.
I think you need an update? Ok, here is new release bassed on release r134 and fixes from release r149 http://code.google.com/p/photon-android/source/list , all credits go to r0bin, schlund, pwel, mweber1980 and all who reported bugs, so now:
- battery full working!
- lightsensor full working
- headset working
- owerclocking enabled (just, disable perfloock and set owerclock you want!)
- bluetooth working (not tested audio routing!)
I want to say something. Diference beetwen mine release and release from google page is indentic, but have some diferences: mine release have diferent initrd, google page release use cache folder but mine release use cache partition, block size is smaler in mine release...etc (I think some sd cards previous not worked, working now), so if you not know what you are doing you will lose something like gps, 3g, ...etc becouse between mine/google release have small diferencies (but all is compiled from same sources and use same fixes), so if you want to use mine patches you need to use clean munjeni release! But if you use google release with mine patches (example: use mine initrd), you will lose something in compatibility!!! I no want to be misunderstandabled, but I think our forum need an changes (an release) becouse gone to be death forum... If you not have mine release installed, and you want to apply our update, please first delete all folders and files from previous version and install clean munjeni release, and than apply our update! If you have mine release installed, just apply update. If you have r134 release from google page, please dont use mine update! Currenltly we trying to clean other bugs but new release will be clean mix of our two version with other fixes and will be in next release!!! So enjoy with our upgrade bassed on r149 release

Fixed bug, attachment reuploaded!!
EDIT:
I forgot to say about time bug. Time bug is not presented in mine version, but is presented only if you have not checked option "prevent sleep when charging" in options/development!!! So you need to enable that option becouse when that option is not enabled and phone charging, you will get time forward if your phone go to sleep (screen go to off), so don't forget to enable it!!! Also uncheck automatic time!

I have a question. This release have the same fixes that Cyanogen release? Because i alredy installed Cyanogen release and all is great. Thanks munjeni
Thanks for this release. I downloaded the files Photon_R134__.rar & froyo_update.rar. Extracted first file, deleted folder update and then unzipped second file. Deleted everything from SD card. Booted "haret", everything seems to work fine, it's all booting .
But I have no data connection. I do not really understand what to do, I followed the link, but am a little bit lost... Sorry .
Before I used r134 from google page and data connection worked fine "out of the box".
Anybody some problem? What can I do to get 3G / data to work?

I had the same problem. I then booted Android without the SIM card once and now everything works fine. Great release so far, thanks to all devs!

I have one question,
I don´t want to loose my data. I use Version 127 with updates from munjeni. Is it ok, only to use the froyo_update.rar, or do I reinstall everything?
Pls help ;-)

no data connection
Hi DEV and guys,
I tried new version, but I can´t get data connection.
System try to connect, but nothing. I tried all tips and tricks, but nothing.
I don´t have this issues with r127 with all updates of Munjeni.
So, what do I wrong? I did same installation like r127....
Any answers?

Bug report:
- backside of mobile is getting hot, I will check when mobile is inactive
- data connection only with update possible (look former post)
- watch is running fast, check over this night during loading
Andy
Is hot because you tried camera shoot and not restarted phone?
Time forwarding because you charging your phone with screen off?
Time forwarding becouse your phone conected to usb with screen off?
Do not use cammera and youtube app becouse need to be fixed!
test
Don`t know if I have installed everything correctly..
But, data works, wi-fi works..
Heating effect present although not as dramatic as before.
Sync data is not saved..
Charging is still difficult, because suddenly the phone thinks that battery is 100% full. And its not.
Testing on the battery life...
Works much faster for some reason )
Excellent work.
