[ROMs] JACxHERO 1.0 and 1.2, JACHeroSki 2.7.4r2 for Magic 32B

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.

I thought you'd done your own boot.img hacking and were running this already..?

I have a 8Gb class 6 sdcard and it's really fast more than the qtek rom
The 2.7.4r2 good idea, you make the port today ?

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.

Does texting work fine on this ROM?

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

Am abit new with the terminologies here . Is there a guide I can follow to do the clean wipe. If i reformat my SD card to the necesarry partitions, it should work?

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).

[DROID DOES/navi] v1.3(stable) Oct-17-11am Voice navi + myTouch3G (1.6 only)

Google Voice MUST be installed from market!!!!!
Try this to have the DROID maps w/Navi correctly installed.
Download the droidNavi.zip file
1: place DroidMaps folder on the root of your /sdcard
2: go into terminal
3: su
4: sh /sdcard/DroidMaps/naviScript.sh
and let it do its thing, also you must reboot once the script is done and !!!!reinstall google voice!!!!
5: after reboot go into settings->applications and clear maps cache
6: go into your g1 settinigs->Speech synthesis and it will atuomatically install voice data real quick now you should have navigation!!
Changelog
v1.3r (experimental)
fixed some bugs
fixed myTouch 3G install process (hopefully)
added options to install new Facebook app
v1.3 (stable)
added myTouch 3G option
uses new 1.6 build props from cyan 4.2.5 (thanks due to cyanogen")
sapphire build props

Its because you have to mount the system first
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock03 /system
then do the script

So I mounted my /system and ran the script it said everything was succesfull, and I rebooted.
Opened up the maps just perfectly, and I must have the new Maps pack installed cause it looks way different but Im not sure where to look for the voice nav part.
Any help?

How to make MP4 work using Cyanogen eclair kernel on G1?

Hi Guys,
I compiled an eclair rom using the 2.9.26-eclair branch of Cyanogen kernel on github . And I ported the camera-related sources from donut branch to eclair branch. Now both 3d and camera can work on my G1. But I still canoot play mp4 on G1.
Would you please tell me how to make mp4 work on G1? I knew Kingklick had succeed to make mp4 work. Is his sources open?
Thanks.

Would you please tell me which libs I should push into my 32B G1? I pushed libopencore_mp4*.so libOmxMpeg4.so from droid eris dump into my g1. But after that when I reboot my phone, my phone cannot be rebooted and stays at the first "G1 Tmobile" splash screen.

I downloaded the CE-12-Patch_3D_vid_signed.zip you prodivded and pushed all the libraries in your zip (except the wlan.ko) into my G1. The kernel my G1 used is built from Cyanogen kernel eclair branch. After pushing the libraries, I reboot my G1.But the G1 got stucked in the first "T-mobile G1" splash screen and couldn't be reboot into the system.
Why did it happen? I should use your kernel?? The opencore library depends on the kernel?? I think the opencore is independent. Even if there is something wrong with opencore, G1 can always be reboot. Am I wrong?

your linux will be running fine, its the Android that isn't happy
the libs are not dependent on the kernel, but may be dependent on something which is already in CE
tbh I can't really help you , I have no idea what 'ROM' you are pushing these libs to.....
logcat is your friend, I have a whole bunch of them on one line
Code:
adb logcat;adb logcat;adb logcat;adb logcat;adb logcat;adb logcat;adb logcat;adb logcat;adb logcat
make sure your phone is connected the first time, and it will happily sit there when you unplug, 'waiting for device' till you plug it back in.
and in another console
adb shell busybox top
sometimes you can even shell in if you are not seeing anything on logcat
'busybox top' will give you an idea of what is running
and there is nothing stopping you from having a couple more terminals open
one with a shell for 'doing stuff' and another for pushing and pulling stuff
all while watching top and logcat
your loop is probably to do with drm, but the logcat will tell you

Installing/Pushing CE-12-Patch_3D_Vid_signed.zip
Got a question... I recently downloaded the v4_1.zip, and was wondering if it's possible to incorporate the CE-12-Patch_3D_Vid_signed.zip in to it. I'm not new to the whole rooting thing, and have tried several variations of the Eclair and Donut roms floating around here. Unfortunately, I'm not to well versed in ADB. My main interest in pushing the above zip is to finally have an Eclair rom with working video. If anyone can help me out with this, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the response. Actually, I was only using the v4 rom as an example. I have tried King's Eris rom, and I think I have the most recent version of it, but the last time I tried it the camcorder did it's I'm not gonna work for you thing. Is there a way to push the CE-12-Patch_3D_Vid_signed.zip to this rom instead, or did I misinterpret the description of this patch? At any rate, it is fun trying all these new and different roms. Can't wait for a fully working 2.0 pastry.
P.S: I just tried the FR-v4OL-CH-0-1_S.zip rom, and it does have video playback. Unfortunately, the camcorder is still non-funtional, of course, and data doesn't appear to be working.

/data not working?
if data wasn't working it wouldn't boot past the bootanimation splashscreen
if data is 'full' reboot, it will correct itself

Unfortunately, when I try to do something that requires a data connection, it suggests using wifi. During setup, I did select the first connection option, which I think was data and wifi or something like that. When I try to go into Market to sign in that way, I can't connect. Is there a step I'm missing, or has this happened to anyone else? Also, is there a way to push the CE-12-Patch_3D_Vid_signed.zip into the FR-v4OL-CH-0-1_S.zip rom, or can I just flash like a normal zip? Thanks in advance.

Also, is there a way to push the CE-12-Patch_3D_Vid_signed.zip into the FR-v4OL-CH-0-1_S.zip rom, or can I just flash like a normal zip? Thanks in advance.

ahh, sorry I'm getting all mixed up, because everyone is stressed out over FR-a2sd using /data for something useful instead of leaving it as an empty,wasted space.
yes, data connection is not working, tbh I don't know why the Market doesn't work even if wifi is working..
The CE-12-Patch_3D_Vid_signed.zip isn't going to do anything for FR-v4OL-CH-0-1_S.zip
its just a 3D kernel , and libs I took from the eris dump which got video working.
infact , the libs are 'mostly' the same as the ones already in v4OL
( which means I'm totally not understanding why video is dark, got to be a framework thing, maybe, I don't really know, just guessing )
Flashing / pushing CE-12-Patch is just going to kill v4OL
I did CE-12-Patch a long time ago, shortly after re-visiting xda after initially rooting my g1 way back in Feb '09.. kinda wished I'd stuck around then.
anyway, CE-12-Patch WILL break v4OL, is it doesn't mount mtdblock4 in the right place.
the v4OL is beta , lots of things don't work
if you get your kicks trying to fix broken things, or making yourself understand things you don't understand ( i.e. you self teach )
then it is for you.
if you want things to work 'out of the box' ,
King's Eris mostly works
ce12 cachehack works
ce2.0 works ( with a 'lil' fixup, facebook fix is in the thread FR*S.zip coming soon.. )
OE1.3.0.1 has things working ( anyone flashed ce12-patch over oe1.3 ? )
and good ol' SuperD works very well.
personally I think your best root is the CE12 CacheHack
It's fully functional, and best of all, CE2.0 is a *no wipe* update
You can flash CE2.0 , just a couple of fixes that need to be consolidated
they are in the thread , minor fix is at post #1401 ( which I will update to a "no hassle,flash straight after CE2.0" soon )

[PATCH] CM Kernels 10MB-RH and NON-RH for King's SenseHybrid 2.3

Hey all, this is a patch that will change out the kernel for King's SenseHybrid 2.3. I use this rom pretty much daily. It is a cupcake based hero, just this update speeds up the performance a bit.
Instructions:
-Wipe everything!
-Install King's 2.3 SenseHybrid (Please follow his directions.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563294&highlight=SenseHybrid
- Flash this update immediately after flashing King's rom
- Reboot and enjoy!
ChangeLog:
Updates user.conf (if you don't like it, change it )
Virtual mem settings adjusted
proc_cpu_en=0 # to save battery life
Updates Kernel to CM 4.2.15.1
Removes:
Meebo
HeroLED
AKNotepad
teeter
Adds:
Free Advanced Task Manager (Useful)
****I just posted a 10MB ram hack version in the thread below. It uses CM 4.2.14.1 with CFS instead.****
If you like it, then great! I've been experimenting with using different kernels on different people's roms. I'm new to it, but if anyone has any tips, they are greatly appreciated.
Red.
PS. PLEASE DO NOT ASK ABOUT BT! IF YOU HAVE READ ANYTHING ON THIS SITE CONCERNING HERO ROMS ON A G1/DREAM THEN YOU WOULD KNOW BETTER AND WOULDN'T RISK BEING FLAMED.

Sounds good I was going to flash the sensehybrid soon anyways so this sounds perfect.

Wait a few minutes..
If you can hold off a bit, I am also making a 10MB ram hack version with CM 4.2.14.1 CFS. Just testing now.
Red.

CM 4.2.14.1 10MB Ram Hack with CFS
Here is another one that you can flash immediately after flashing king's 2.3. This uses the 4.2.14.1 CM kernel and the CFS 10MB ram hack. I absolutely hate BFS on G1/Dreams! Anyways, this one should run faster. I would also look into the thread that has been posted recently about speeding up hero roms and change the line in your init.rc to keep rosie in memory. just copy the init.rc onto your sdcard and edit it with notepad++ (windows program, it is great!) and then copy it back to your root over the existing init.rc and reboot. (if this is complicated, then don't try it.)
Otherwise, Enjoy!!

will this work without an ext/swap partition?

Without ext partition...
Honestly, if you are using the Death SPL and you are running this with my ram hack, you should be ok. Unfortunately, the compcache on King's earlier roms are usually broken. I tried pushing ramzswap from the CM kernel and still no luck, but then again, I'm not as savy as some of the other dev's out there. You will just have to edit the user.conf after you finish flashing the two, you want to do the following:
First, before flashing you want to pull the user.conf from the system/bin/ directory in king's zip file. edit the user.conf using notepad++ in windows and change the linuxswap=1 to 0 so that it turns it off. then copy that file to your sdcard.
immediately after flashing the two files,
-go to console from the recovery and type the following
mv /sdcard/user.conf /system/bin/
reboot
this will disable the linuxswap and then you will be able to run the rom. But again it would be better with a swap partition.
Hope this helps.
Red.

would prefer the WG kernel but okay thanks

Same here, WG is great. I tried the RH CFS patch, but I got an error while flashing it. Had to restore from switchrom.

where's the wg-kernel patch for 1.5 hero roms?
Also, does multitouch still work with THIS patch?

boot loop...

?
Chabsie, telling me u got a boot loop doesn't help me resolve the problem much. You must have DeathSPL for this rom, Must be full wipe, and EXT4 partition. If that doesn't help, please list the stats for your phone, which hack u are using and where your issue occurs.
Jcarrz, WG kernel version of this is released in another thread. It is on 2nd or third page, just search.
Thanks.

Just a question, since im not an expert. but how is this cupcake based hero, when CM 4.2.15.1 is donut based? Also thanks i will give it a try now.

HTC developed the sense UI and this port is from the HTC Hero or the earlier Droid Eris (Prior to upcoming update from Verizon to 2.1.) Both of those phones use Cupcake as the base and then Sense UI is just a pretty cover for it. The kernel I used is from CM's Donut based roms, which is more than compatable, but again, the framework and ramdisk and everything else reflects a 1.5 environment. Enjoy the patch.

Just go back into system menu and re-sync manually and give it a minute. It will work fine. I had that happen on one of the trials.

This is the Wes Garner Ramhack. It should be slightly faster. I think that you still need to have a partition though because of the apps to sd. You would have to do complete wipe for this one again.

multitouch?

Sorry for being vague. I had everything right except ext3 instead of ext4. I'm looking for some directions on how to upgrade. If you have any please let me know, thanks.

you could flash rcmagic v3 and remove the apps you don't want and resign it

If you tell me how to do that, that would be awesome, unless it is exactly like this:
-boot into recovery
-Mount /system partition
-adb remount
-adb shell
-cd /system/app
***I used -ls to list everything in the folder on my mac, not sure what the command or you windows people would be. But that listed every .apk and .odex file in the /app directory***
-Locate the files you want to remove
- rm what-ever-file-you-want-gone.apk
- rm what-ever-file-you-want-gone.odex
Oh hey, can you include voice search and voice calling in this clean stock rom by any chance?

if i include that, would it be a clean stock rom then?

Ahh, you got me there, I just always loved the voice search and voice calling, may I ask for the link to the apk and I'll push it myself then? Since the voice search that is on the market is the new froyo only one, which makes me sad.

you can pick it from rcmagic_v3

Wow that didn't even cross my mind. Sorry to bother you so much, and thank you for the supremely quick responses. Also your doing a fine job on android development for the RCMagic. =]

well as long as my phone lives, it's on borrowed time, have to reflash radio alot these days cause it breaks alot now

Oh no, that's not good. Well even if it does go downhill, you can upgrade to those nice nifty new fangled devices, like the nexus one, or dare I say it, HTC evo!

not really the evo is nice but will not work in little denmark
the most fancy we have is desire or samsung galaxy

Oh, thats not good options at all. I'm sure something will come up to cold little denmark eventually though =]

Did not notice there was a separate thread for the spartan/minimal Rogers version.
capy do you perhaps have time/pleasure/both to implement this rooted stock rom...:
1) with ML
2) with extra APNs
3) without Rogers apps
You seemed pretty positive about this on the other thread, hence for bothering you again here
BTW, can anyone tell me if the following apps are inside this minimal ROM? Google contacts? The HTC dialer? The Google Calender? The Market?
