Auto home screen rotate with Black home screen - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I followed this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521856
I did manage to get all the .apk signed and the .zip signed.
It did verify and install just fine.
I setup the phone
BUT when I got to the home screen .. it was ALL black with the pull down bar and could NOT access anything at all on the screen.
So I am wondering IF this may not be compatible with the JF1.51MOD from lucid`s page .. BUT it does say that it is for the JF1.51
I did manage to successfully add the HTC_IME to the JF1.51MOD but without the home auto rotate
any ideas on how to get this going? is it a bad AndroidManifest file for that version? or bad period?
I did try to wipe and flash several times .. but nothing

since you're using JF 1.5 why not just install the Hero theme? it has auto rotate home. Just download the file, rename it to update.zip and put it in the root of your card. then go to recovery mode and apply the update.zip

I have used the hero theme and the JacHero doesnt have the home auto-rotate (well not that I saw anyhow).. the cyogen does .. but thats not really hero by any means. Plus they are slow and buggy builds .. the Jachero ROMs will run smooth for the first couple hours and then slow way down .. even with the swap partition .. also the last 3 build the text messges actually force closes when you hit it .. cant have that .. hope they get that working .. I really liked the hero build

Try it with the compcache, its supposed to run much smoother than before, and I believe that the sms problem has been taken care... if you're not doing anything anyways...

G1 Hero flash strange problems

Alright there are a few people with the exact same problem as I, vr24 is one that can attest..
Basically I flashed JacHero2.63slowSD and it worked, but after flashing to another hero build (non slow sd), it would get to the screen unlock.. but when i pull that screen down all I see is a loading HTC screen. It never goes beyond that!
I have two seperate SD cards that were retabled, formatted, and set up using parted from cynorecovery 1.3.1. Both of them with full wipes and reflashes with any Hero build give me the same problem. Any non hero build works fine. The only big whoops I can remember is that I downloaded and used swapper even though i had it automatically set up?
I reflashed the phone all the way back to fresh start with dreaimg.nbh to rc29, rerooted, and installed everything properly and still have the same problems.
When trying jachero 2.5 i can at least get a root access request for swapper, which i deny. Anyone have any experience with this?

nope :[ just stuck at htc screen. i can hit end phone call to go to screen lock again, but when i pull it down back to htc screen
I would recommend then reformatting your SD card. Hero stores weird things on the SD card and can sometimes cause problems even between Hero builds (like in your case.) See if that works for you :]

does anyone think thtis could be because of an improper flash or when i activated swapper (even though swapper was automatic on jachero doh), it wrote some corrupted files in some god forsaken place that they cant write to now?
and if so, how would i wipe it clean? i reflashed to rc29 nbut im not sure i f that did the whole job

looking to hero! Some questions

Hello all,
I'm curious about somethings for turning my g1 to the hero (rosie?) rom (wow it looks beautiful).
The first being Where can I actually find it? I found two sites that offer it but doesn't seem like its from the developer themselves (who I'd trust more).
Secondly, which developer has the best performance (e.g. speed, ect.). I've read that it is a deadly slow Rom and I already lack patience for my g1 now (It's the stock firmware). The hero its self looks much smoother, am I wrong?
If I can't risk my phone being bricked should I bother trying it? (I had it JF rooted in the summer which I did successfully on my first try, and I un-rooted it.)
Is there a text document with how to install with a video that coincides?
Lastly, Is Cyanogen a better rom? (this has next to nothing to do with the hero rom )
Hopefully I didn't miss a thread on this I searched for like an hour.

You cant just start driving, you have to learn the basics.When you get in a car there a many things that you need to do first is learning and even taking test.
You must have root first and a recovery image and im guessing your all stock.The dream section has all the info needed to root now is up to you to decide if you want to read it.
-Best regards
Thank you. I am very comfortable with the rooting process. I just don't want to do it unless the rosie rom is worth it!
Basically, Hero is incomplete. It doesn't have Bluetooth nor full Google Voice integration, and it runs 1.5. However, at the rate the devs are going on Hero 2.1 the version it runs could change very soon.
For now, stick with Cyanogen as it is a better Rom. Hero doesn't really work on the G1, it's slow and there is a lot of core function missing. It will never be an everyday ROM. I think of it like a concept car. Its cool in a "look what we can do" sort of way, but just wait for the next HTC Android phone.

Its not slow...You must be running a super old version..Hero 2.1 roms and 1.5 roms are both very fast...King's 2.1 is very fast and close performance to cyanogen, please dont misinform people.All current hero roms are fast, in a 2.1 rom you can achieve 20mb+ free ram which is about the same to a cyanogen rom. Maybe you used a old jac rom months ago.

I'm sorry to say, but no I have tried many Hero configurations on my class 6 as recently as a month ago. The fact is that even if there were drivers for all of the hardware over time Hero really starts to bog down. It will not always perform after that post-setup peak it has.
If you want working hero wait until the first 2 weeks of January when the Passion comes out.

Going to try this tonight. Read and watched the videos. seems very simple. thank you!
need help!
When following this guide http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/ho...ps2sd-onto-your-g1-or-mytouch-3g-best-method/ (I already did the one click root with no issues)
In part II of the guide
. Download the custom SPL for your device:
T-Mobile G1 – Here
MyTouch 3G – Unneccessary, skip this section and proceed to Section III.
3. Plug in your phone and mount the SD card (pull down on the notification bar and select the SD card notification then click Mount in the pop up window).
4. After the SD card shows up on the computer, put the SPL zip file on to the memory card.
5. Once it is done transferring to the memory card and you have renamed it, unplug the phone from the computer.
6. Turn off the phone and then turn it back on by holding down the Home and Power button to get to recovery mode (keep holding it until the recovery screen with the writing and black background come up). Here i get to the ! so I hit Alt + L to get to the recovery screen. It gives me the menu to reboot, apply zip, wipe. However at the bottom of the screen it says E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
7. Once the recovery screen is up, click on Wipe Data. Once that is done, click on Apply Update.zip and wait for it to finish. I wipe the date and then apply zip. I then get this message __ Install from sdcard... Finding update package... Opening update package... Verifying update package... E: No signature (5 files) E: Verification failed Installation aborted
I'm assuming this means the SPL file is corrupt but I don't know much and probably am wrong.
How can I fix this? I got this far with no issues and so close to being done!

UP AND RUNNING JACHERO
Thanks a bunch ace. In the two minutes its been up it's looked as good as I wanted it to!
so my son grabbed it this morning, it froze i took the battery out. Now it keeps going to the hero screens over and over again. what should I do?
If I were you I would try re-flashing. Do you have a custom recovery.img? Like Cyan's or Amon-Ra's? If you do, try wipe cache, wipe ext part, wipe cache, and then re-flash. That's always the first thing I do when my phone starts getting buggy.

Market Not Working on Any ROM

My market stopped working while running enomther's AOSP-1.6_r1.4 + ADP DRD20 w/ v2.5.1 - Expansion-Pack.
Then I install CyanogenMod v4.2.14.1 ... still no market.
Next manup456's Eclair_2.1-v1.5... no market
then eViL_nano_SenSe_v2.0.1... no go
So, I try going back to stock... now running T-Mobile 1.5 and the market is working fine... any thoughts anyone?

Can you actually open it and it crashes or does it say it's not installed? I've been through a similar process of going through roms trying to get my market (mine says its not installed) back without success.
I think it had something to do with using apps2sd and then having my card get messed up, but I'm not really sure.

The market opens fine but anything I try to downloads never starts.... just hangs... Saying "Starting Download" but never starts.
I tried reformatting my SDCard... Removed all partitions in GPart, reformatted the whole SDcard in window (not quick), repartitioned in GPart... same.
Then tried a different SDCard... same.
Well... just flashed RA-sapphire-v1.5.2 and install CyanogenMod v4.2.14.1
and the market is working fine.... odd.... thanks.
next time that happens if it does an easy fix:
go to settings - manage apps - and clear the data and any updates if there are any...
happens when you apply some themes...

But that wouldn't cause 4 diff freshly installed roms to have the same problem.
Same is happening to me!!!!

yo i got so fed up i backed up everything on my pc, and just did a hard reset...it worked..
Well, that's just the market being itself....
Some versions of the market totally suck
The only version I liked was the green one with the curvy stuff
Never has failed any downloads
Seriously,, works every single time!
It comes with a few roms but you gotta make sure you disable market updating so that you stay on it

Just some Noob questions thanks!:D

Okay so before i mess with my phone again..lol
i rooted my phone with Fresh Kitchen
what does that put my phone at? lol
like ive been looking around is my phone rooted with 2.1 or whats the deal?
i wanna know what cool theme i can put on with out jackin up my phone again hahah
plz and thanks
this just roots your phone..
you are still at 1.5
read up on how to flash roms :]
okay! thanks man got a link? or shall i just google like ive been doing hahah
Very first thing you should do is.. Turn off phone.
Hold down home + power button.. Scroll down to backup/restore.
Then do a nano backup... Not the one with ext.
Then boot your phone back up and open up your sdcard on your comp and go to nandroid/file inside it/ then copy that file to your computer. Always keep it safe.
okay will do!
since im on 1.5 how would i put on 2.1 or whatever..lol
i see some bad ass themes around lol
Jw..heres a link
about 2 comments down you see a picture of a San Fransico theme. Totaly awesome does he have that in Twin Cities? Im from Minnesota lol..

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=CDMA Hero ROMs
Here is a list of roms.. I prefer damage control 2.07.2 or fresh 2.0d
Download the file and save the .zip file to your sd card.. NOT IN A FOLDER
Boot into recovery and then go to wipe.. Wipe factory/data and dalvik
Press back then go to flash from sdcard.. Find the rom you put on there, click it and watch it go.
After its done reboot your phone and wait.
After that i would prefer reading on how to customize it from there..
REMEMBER TO ALWAYS BACK A NANO BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING
alright!!!
thanks man!!!
Damn! these forums are very helpful!<3

you might try a different rom (regawmod is my daily)
idkwtf your talking about theres a billion themes for 1.5
ohh, and fyi, its 2.1, not 2.0
lol where can i find them?!?!
umm..im a noob at this just started yesterday with this root ****..i thought i was tight **** when i figure to get free apps with APK hahah now im moving on to this
um..recovery im using Freshkitchen..in my sd card recovery is
recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2?!?! lol
lend me some links for the 1.5 lol plz and thanks i cant find any..
Recovery would be the place you get to when you press and hold home+power at the same time.
And you should be flashing a rom from that.
ooo so when im pressin home and turn on its that green and black screen i get? aight aight i see
well thats it i guess lol its whatever is stock to Fresh Kitchen i guess.
Download DamageControl http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656690. It will be in the very first post.. Boot into recovery.. POWER DOWN....HOLD DOWN HOME+POWER...
Follow the steps someone already said. It just sounds like its a bad download. If you look at the ROM Wiki and scroll down to 2.1 ROMs. There are all the ROMs on this forum.
Also never, ever try to flash anything made for GSM...Always make sure it is for CDMA---Sprint. If you do you phone is screwed.
And like everyone else says Nandroid is your best friend..Well, next to this website.
The only problem with that link is when i click download its taking a while to load then it says connection has timed out..
for the love of god and all that is holy stay in these forums.
do not go searching other places for ROMs.
Why do I say this? Because there is a GSM version of the hero and if you flash a GSM rom then you will fry your phone.
I don't want to see you back here in a a week and be like... "HELP! so yeah, I flashed a rom on my hero and it won't turn on. lol. how can I fix it?"
I will save you the trouble of starting a thread. You won't be able to fix it.

[Q] Help Pleasseee! No Root...

Literally spent all day trying to root my CDMA Hero. Nothing works. I cannot use sync because it disconnects with the debugging and does not allow me to install a previous RUU. So I decided to use an app on the store (one click rooters like z4) it seemed like it worked, got SuperUser, said that my XC Chip was still on...soo I guess Im not rooted. Didn't notice that till I tried to install Cyanogenmod 7 2.3.2 on my device, which sent it back to my saved place (forgot what its called lol). Have no Idea where to go, anyone have a solution to the sync, seems like it would be the easiest way to do it. I have read the wikis, searched, done all I could do. Now I come to you, Help pleaseeee.
Software if you need it
Baseband Version 2.42.02.10.29
well i personally have had the same issues with one click roots,
Id HIGHLY suggest look at the Cyanogenmod wiki
to root and before rooting setting up ABD through the SDK
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Hero_(CDMA):_Full_Update_Guide
edit: PM me if you need anything else
Are you still having trouble gaining root???

The XC, you are referring to is actually for Engineering bootloader S-ON or S-OFF. This has no effect on rooting your phone. Everyone here had S-ON until sometime late last year.
What OS are you running? Windows, Mac, Linux
32bit or 64 bit?
Did you flash a recovery?
Were you able to boot into recovery? (Power off phone, while holding home button, press the power button)
What did you get?
Did you try installing titanium backup to see if you were root?
Download busybox from the market and then open it up and install 1.18.
Try TB again.
Or try installing ROM manager and flash clockwork mod from the app.
Without more info it is really hard to help.

Still having troubles. Im running 64 bit Windows, I thought I flashed a recovery.
When I press home and power to power on I get

Yes I read this, this is actually what I used. Problem is that I cannot use HTC Sync. It never lets me update my RUU for some odd reason...
Update lol. Seems like I am still rooted, I can download and use Wifi Tethering for Root Users. And when in Astro file manager I have a file called \root I believe. question is where do I go from now!
Well it depends on what you want to do with your phone. If its running fine then leave it and just boot into recovery and make a backup incase you need it in the future. To do this "make a backup "
Power off. Then hold down volume down and press power. After the white screen appears press home and wait until your recovery appears. Then select backup and restore. From there you should be able to figure it out. If not then just post and you'll receive advice from other members or my self. If you were looking to further mod your phone you could load one of many custom roms provided by the great developers here, increase internal memory to add more storage, load a different kernel to overclock or change the look of your phone
by flashing a custom theme. Its up to you how far you want to take your phone. Well hope this helps.

How do you flash it? Is it basically the same as when I did Cyanogenmod, just go to ROM manager and install it or what? Thanks for all the help btw, I got 2.3 now, just trying to get it the way I want now...
Im a little puzzled as to when you post "flash it" care to share what it is your referring to. If its a rom, then yes you could flash it threw rom manger, but I wouldn't recommend it. The safest way Imo is threw your recovery if you want to flash a rom. Also if your referring to a rom which one??? And when you post "the way you want" what is it that your trying to achieve???

Looks wise and apps is what I mean by "the way I want". And basically what I am talking about is custom themes/looks. How would I flash those through recovery. Thats what I am puzzled about lol
Well if your on 2.3 you should have the theme chooser. If that's the case you locate the theme apk. Download it to your sd card. Then open up a file manger and install the theme apk as you would a regular app. Then exit out of your file manger and go to your app drawer and open up theme chooser. Then select the theme you just installed. After its done installing just reboot. Some of the theme chooser themes have extra add on you have to apply to get the full look of theme. The add ons you have to install via zip themer or metamorph. The zip themer you can find in the android themes and apps thread. It might be on the android market but I'm not sure. Metamorph you can find on the android market. If you need help with that aquire either app and just let me know. Now if your theme is flashable via recovery. Download the theme to the root of your sd card. Which means just put the theme on your sd card and not in any folders. Then boot into recovery by powering down. Then hold volume down. Then press the power button. After the screen appears press the home button. Then when your recovery appears. Always make a backup first. Then choose install update zip or flash update zip. Then locate the theme zip and press the track ball. It will ask you to confirm press the track ball for yes or home for no. Press the track ball and when its done press back and choose reboot. When you reboot you should have your rom themed. Make sure the theme your flashing is for your rom because not all themes are for all roms and if you flash the wrong theme you could be entering boot loop city. Also make sure your battery is at least 60 % to flash anything. This is just my opinion on the battery. Well hope this helps. If you find a certain theme you want to install let me know if you run into any problems.
