looking for stable Hero ROM - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just installed one of Drizzy's Hero ROM s and even though its awesome...its also very slow...I am not sure which version it is but I can't download protected apps... so I need a link to either JAC or Drizzy's Hero ROM but I want it to work quickly and I want to be able to download my purchased apps and install them... I already partitoned my SD card. So if someone could post the most stable Hero ROM that allows paid apps that would be nice.

I'd just wait till the end of today as it seems the JACDrizzy colab is dropping soon.

Protected apps on hero

Ok so I dont know anything about this...I just flashed Drizzy's 2.7 after a wipe and partitioned my sd card for the first time...tried downloading paid apps but they wouldnt download...I believe this happens on any Hero ROM. is there a fix for this... does drizzy's 2.8 allow me to download them again?
This is an issue with the Drizzy ROMs so far. Not all Hero ROMs and has been thoroughly discussed in the thread if you searched. Apparently they fixed the bug in the new colab ROM that is dropping really soon.

well actually drizzy 2.2 works well with private apps. anthing 2.3 and above is based of the new hero release which contains the private app bug. i flashed all new the drizzy roms but i always went back to 2.2 just becuz it has a fully functional market.
New JACxHERO 1.0 supposedly has the private-apps fixed, why don't you take it out for a spin.

Few Questions

Im running the latest JacXHero 8/6 i belive
1.Do the ROMS automatically use the linux-swap partition i made or do i have to activate it some how? Same for apps2sd
2.Same rom, but i want HTC Peep widget/app on this rom *wasnt included in the rom* Is there anyway to get it?
3.Is there any1 out there who would like to see if windows mobile could be ran on a G1? Im willing to donate 100USD to the cause

1) Most hero ROMs automatically use the linux-swap partition, most 1.5 builds do not because it isn't really needed. Same with A2SD, depends on the ROM. Have a look in the release notes in the thread. Most ROMs do use you ext partition for apps automatically, but some don't.
2) Peep and weather are exclusive to Hero ROMs, I don't know a Hero ROM that doesn't include them. You can't get those apps or the widgets for them on 1.5 builds.
3) (Crazy) people (I kid, I kid) have asked about WinMo before on the G1 before, I wouldn't get your hopes up. Apparently WinMo doesn't even support the 320x480 resolution the G1 uses, not to mention we would need drivers for everything.

quick question about the 1.6 update

okay im sure you guys saw that 1.6 is being pushed to all tmobile g1s in the next few days (i saw it on engadget.com) my question is im rooted with cyan 4.0.4 i think. (the latest stable) and i think i want to update to that so i can have the new market. will i be able to get the update and will i be able to still use overclock widget. thanks guys!!!
umm there are already 1.6 based roms in the dev section... i would look there, i am about to give akirah's build a go.
if you flash an official update to your phone then you will lose root.
If you flash any official ROM and try to run an app that requires root it won't work as intended (the app).
How's the ROM you mention david? I was considering it myself, I've been using this current ROM for almost a day now. Need a change

i found it to be really fast (like damn fast) but i love a lot of the features in 4.1.11.1 like the lockscreen among other things. i think it is between a jf rom and a cm rom. not completely vanilla but not rocky road either its a good rom overall, but i love my features.
i still have my .zip file for cyans 4.1.11.1 if anyone needs it!..i like it..

Is that the 1.6 mod that Cyanogen created? If so I would like it if you can send to my email [email protected]
I tried to find it when I saw it on friend's phone, but when I went to the site they removed :\
ny friend got lucky and bought the phone from a person that had it on there.
HAHAHA Cyanogen ROMs are like crack now.
whatcha need, whatcha need?
Hey man, you got some cyanogen?
You ain't a cop are ya?
Nah man, I just need some Cyanogen.
ok cool, here ya go, be careful bro that sh*t's fast.
* looks over both shoulders.
* whispers "dude that phone had cyanogen on it when you bought it?!?! That sh*t's illegal bro!"

a question about 1.6 update

ok...
if i understand correctly there is a new market "look" with the 1.6 donut update
when i first rooted my g1 and accessed the market there were very few apps i could actually find when i went searching for them(i.e astro)
i dont know exactly why but im guessing it was because of the different firmware that was being used at the time?
so how will this 1.6 update affect new ROMs?
im using drizzys blur-hero ROM and it has the (i guess) 1.5 market
will the apps in the market with the new update be easily available or will i more than likely have to flash to a new ROM that uses more up to date firmware as time goes by?
im kinda hoping i dont seeing as how its taken me two months of reading the forums and trial and error to finally get a ROM i like thats stable enough for daily use...lol!
thanks for any input in advance!
What? The Market access the same downloads regardless of version because they query the same server.
well iirc
when i first rooted and went to rc29 i tried looking in the market for some of the apps i had been playing around with before and alot of them werent there...
i dont know why it was like that but i got to thinking that maybe the same thing might happen with the 1.6 update
no the market is way spiffier with the new 1.6 update. for shizzle.

well in some roms, there are market bug where some apps couldnt be found in the market this was a common proble in drizzys 2.3-the last 2.X update.
and why use drizzys blur now when maxisma took over his rom.
but drizzy will be releasing a fulll blur rom sometime today(according to his twitter)

Hero (MLign) LEDs not working

My LEDs don't flash for anything.
I had the same problem when i flashed Herver a few weeks back. Other people aren't having problems apparently, and i was wondering what could be the source of the problem?
I repartitioned my SD card totally before installing the rom, so i have a brand new ext3 and 128MB swap. I also whiped everything before flashing the rom.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
You need the latest HeroLED app by Fictionles
search for it, its somewhere here on the forums (or you can download one of the roms that already have it)
also is it the sense mlign or regular hero mlign?
I thought it was suppose to work natively now though...
And it's Hero Mlign V3.0

Not natively.
I looked in the 3.0 zip and didn't see the app.
