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.

I have downloaded the apps_s.zip and the hero-signed.zip files to put hero rosie on my g1 but i cant figure out how to get it on...
also, is hero rosie better than cyan3.9.10?
does it have features like multitouch and apps2sd?
honestly... you actually asked this... i think all hero roms now put app_s in the ext2/3/4 partition to start with and all of them have a2sd on initial setup with you only having to have second partition. did you read nothing from the thread you got the rom from. unless it is the one haykuro posted a few months back. which hero rom is it. no it will not be faster than the cyanogen rom.
yes should have multi-touch browser as well

did you read this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534461
hero does runs slower than cyanogen, yes. choose cyanogen if you want functionality at the blink of an eye and if you want a lot of themes. choose hero if you want gorgeous ui and don't mind waiting a lil bit. personally i suggest drizzy's personal hero. but you've got to have patience.
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.
Hi,
i want to partition my 8gb class 6 sd card with RA-dream-v1.5.2.
I use CyanogenMod the newest version and the HardSPL+newest Radio...
Which size would be making sense for swap and ext4???
I think for ext about 500mb, or???
And what is with swap size?
Thanks for help

well, as many of the threads posted by devs say, 512 is a good recommended ext size. as far as swap goes, you don't really need it for any CM builds. that isn't to say you can't use it. I always have my card partitioned at about 6.5gb fat32, 512 ext3 and 40 for swap because i got tired of repartitioning it everytime i wanted to flash a hero or eclair.
So i don't need swap for CyanogenMod???
Should i although give swap size 96???

Cyanogen does not use swap by default and it will not be activated unless you make it so. I would just because if you go to a rom that uses swap you won't need to repartition
Ok, so i make no swap, thanks....

Super-D & Wesgarner's roms are faster.Might wanna try those out.Cyan is good for those that want just the stability and normal speed.
But for those I need Danger SPL, or???
Are they stable like CyanogenMod???

they're a lil bit more iffy. i can't say for sure as i haven't given either of them a fair chance on my device, but from what i've heard, they're speedier. but for supreme stability, Cyan is the best. and just to be clear, you don't NEED swap for cyanogen, but it's always good to have it just in case you want to test out a hero or eclair build, you know?
and i'm not sure, but i think those do require the danger spl, but honestly, if you read the directions and know what you're doing, you can accomplish is with great success. i've done it twice already and both times have worked flawlessly.

You are right, they need the Danger spl
Yeah, but the question is, if i need an other rom than Cyan...
Have the roms any more functions or something else???
The Cyan has the advantage that i can Update with only my G1 and have often updates+many themes...
I heard that the Hero Roms haven't bluetooth, what i don't find good.
Are their else any differences or why do many people use hero or eclair roms???

for one thing, hero is GORGEOUS. eclair has supreme features and it's really sexy too. as of right now, eclair is my rom of choice, with a backup of cyanogen for stability. the only downside for eclair really is the camcorder, which will be worked out once htc releases the drivers. camera works now, as does practically everything else.
so to answer your question, yes, other builds have other features. but in essence, it's a matter of personal preference. if you want stability with good speed, cyanogen is a great choice. if you want a gorgeous look on your phone with awesome widgets, go with hero. for the latest features, then eclair is your rom. it's a matter of what you want.
Ok, so i think then i test hero and ecliar...
First i have to install danger SPL, have anyone good and safe tutorial???
And what are the best hero/eclair roms???
???????????????????????????????????
Super D
Just my 2 cents - I've found SuperD just as stable as Cyanogen, actually more so - never had an fc problem since installing 1.5 and then 1.6. If you've got DangerSPL/don't need it because you're on a MT3G, then definitely give it a whirl. i was really shocked by how good it is. Same with Dwang, although there's less in the way of goodies. Haven't tried WG yet.
I keep a swap partition on my card - 64mb personally. even if the rom ain't using it, it stops me from losing my data going to hero/eclair as mentioned above.
But with hero and eclair i have no bluetooth, or???
What i have to do now?
My SD 8gb sd card is partitioned: 96mb swap, 512 ext4
I have to update to danger spl and then??? Install a easiliy the rom, or have i to wipe or something when i change rom???

Please HELP!!!
Hi,
I followed the CM6 thread quite closely, however I did not want to hijack that thread for my purposes.
It seems that the latest build of CM6 does not support Apps2SD anymore. I used to flash Cyanogens Mods on my G1 / Dream since ages, and all of them supported Apps2SD. Maybe someone could elaborate a little on my questions to help me understand the latest developments:
1. Is there any particular reason why CM6 does not support Apps2SD anymore (maybe performance or stability issues)?
2. Won't that mean that the G1 will immediately run out of memory, as the internal memory is that small (this was actually the reason why I decided to root my device)?
Thanks in advance for helping out. I just don't really get it and think I won't flash CM6 until there is a solution...
Best regards,
Becksman

Apps2SD will be there in 6.1......That's been communicated.....
Right now Firerat has build an script which does the JOB, I have a dream and using apps2sd with CM6....
Search the thread or XDA and you will get all the info....
FroYo, that CM6 is based on, has it's own implementation, often referred to as Apps2FAT. Cyanogen, and others, have stated that something resembling the CM4/5 Apps2Ext will be in the next release of CM.
Thanks for the replys so far. I was aware that an implementation of Apps2SD in CM6.1 is planned. I know as well that there is a workaround with firerat's patch.
I just tried to understand what's different with CM6 in comparison to CM5. I thought: hey, maybe with CM6 there's a good reason why apps2SD is not supported anymore. Maybe there's an alternative to apps2SD which works more reliable (not that it didn't with apps2SD on CM5). If so, I would have been willing to reinstall my apps and use the new system.
If there's no reason not to use apps2SD in CM6 then I'll consider updating. Either now, applying firerat's patch, or in some time when CM6.1 is out...
Best regards,
Becksman
it is Apps2SD, but it is saving the data to the FAT32 partition, rather than the EXT partition we are used to. one limitation I've discovered was by installing desktop widgets on the external. when the OS booted up, none of the widgets loaded.
I suspect the reason CM6.0 doesn't have Apps2Ext is threefold.
FroYo has something similar built-in. Therefore, users have a solution to the underlying problem w/out a custom CM solution. (problems w/ that implementation notwithstanding)
A polished solution would have to integrate with the FroYo solution in some way. This takes extra work.
Getting FroYo running solidly was a huge effort of it's own. TeamDouche expanded the number of supported devices by a huge number. They integrated the completely new build system Google released with FroYo. Adding another feature, especially in light of #1 and #2 above, would have delayed the release without real merit.
Thanks for the clarifications.
So I guess I'll stick with Apps2Ext. Though I guess I'll have to wait until CM6.1 is out, as I really don't have the time right now to keep myself busy playing with my phone and try to make everything work.
Thanks again for your effort - what a wonderful forum.

Becksman
Hi everyone.
I'm sort of a beginner in this but still already flash some phones (g2, gravity, cliq, ...)
The hardest part for me now is to update this G1 that I have. It's a 32b devices
I've rooted, installed a new radio, dangerspl, spl-signed everything was a little bit confusing there for a while.
I've got Cyanogenmod 6 running on it. But I find it slow not so "stable" (it's working just feels very lagy with some fc). I'm guessing there's something missing.
What do you guys recommend for me to do so I can get a faster, updated rom on that phone?
Need some with at least android 2.1 on it
what partitions on sdcard? ext2 or ext3? pls advice
& have some patience with my request

Are you using setcpu to overlock your phone? If you're running a cyanogen rom or cyanogen based rom the overclock kernel is included, you just need setcpu from the market, or you can get it for free here on xda. It will allow you to overclock. If you are already overclocking, and you need a 2.1+ rom, I suppose you could try SuperE or SuperFly, they are fairly fast.

Personally I'd steer clear of Cyan roms until your more comfortable with setting things up, personally I don't use cyans but thats my choice.
I'd go with either EZterry's asop or the new enom 'official' that is out and has a few more configurable options. All the fun of the fair without the bloatware cm roms have and will ease you into the world of flashing
Relevant post, Gottijr, and thanks for responders. I got a G1 (with DMD64, 1.6 official tmob US latest upgrade) from fleabay for my daughter recently. I'm an experienced Winmo ROM modder/uploader/tweaker for years, but after many many hours of reading over the last few days I'm still a bit confused about what's really appropriate for this phone.
I've rooted so far, but can't seem to get a modified recovery image working ( likely due to dmd64 build?). Mainly curious what I should strive for in that I want primarily stability and app to SD since the internal memory is so limited. Not sure the Cyanogen mod is the right choice since I don't want daily use to require any tweaking. What would the experts recommend?
I don't want to hijack the thread here, but seems like a similar predicament.
Wipe?
With the newer CyanogenMod stuff I have found that wiping and reflashing the same ROM in recovery seems to help substantially on the FCs and lagginess.
I'm not sure why the full wipe / reflash works, but I suppose it has something to do with the inability to do a complete wipe. I haven't tried the new uber wipe that just came out, but I would be curious to see if that had better results as a starting point for a ROM install.
Also, I found I was happier on CyanogenMod with LauncherPlus over the included ADW Launcher. Though that was on the beta of 6.1 and I know the 6.1 stable has a newer version of ADW which might have addressed some of its annoyances.
I recommend setting up Titanium Backup for apps or using Droid Explorer to pull a backup of your ideal application environment. This will make swapping out ROMs quick for testing out what works for you.

For speed and stability its difficult to beat the SuperD 1.11 rom ....essentially a donut (1.6) rom stripped and then filled with 2.1 (eclair) goodness. Sweet.
