Did you wipe your phone and your ext partition before loading hero?

yeah... Im smart enough to learn quick enough around here to do the obvious.. this thread has a million posts and most are solved by doing what you said previously...
my Class 6 8gb card has seen more reformats than my unit has seen hand lotion..
Thats why im confused..
I wiped everything at 5am this morning.. wiped handheld and reformatted the card just to insure that i have the same settings as mlign said to..

LOL. had to remove what i just wrote, it was something not even related.

it could be a specific issue related to his rom. get a log and post it on pastebin
and LOL @ the lotion comment

Are you using the stock messaging app. If you use an alternate messaging app does it do it too.

massive ammount of problems on JFS 1.51

getting read to just swich to one of the hero roms at this point but figured before i do i'll see if any of these can be fixed.
This all started right shortly after the 1.51 update
First of all, I've wipped the phone and reinstalled twice now and left the battery out and did formats and tried new SD cards and all that and these are the problems i'm having.
-Camera will not save once finished. It takes the picture but it never saves to the SD card.
-Screen randomly changes orientation by itself when the phone is not moving at all. on a table
-Lots of random crashes
-and the worst. Certain apps will only download 50% of the file size when i download them making them never work, If this happens it's impossible to ever download it. Even after wiping and reloading the phone the same thing happened again. It also happens in updates as well. Killed mybackup pro and i had to go download it off rapidshare because i needed to make backups and the market download would never download properly.
So basically, is there any way to fix all these problems or am i better off just going through everything and flashing to a new rom now.
very strange, never had problems on JF1.5 or 1.51. Have you tried flashing JF1.5? If that's still causing problems I'd try Cyanogens build. Sorry I can't help much, but you've already tried everything I would have suggested
yeah i've posted on a few forums and did everything there. then figured i might as well post here as a last resort.
I did try going back to 1.5 and things worked fine, then went to 1.51 again and everything happened again. I'd like to be running the latest release of any custom rom, and hero looks awesome so i'm thinking that if i can't fix this i'll just go through everything to upgrade to hero
There are no major changes from my JFv1.50 release, except a few new kernel modules.

Hardly anything to update for, but whatever, have fun with hero Don't flash the SPL without the Radio (seems obvious but loads of people are spamming looking for a nonexistent solution to unbrick :< )
yeah i guess. Just me being myself wanting the lastest things. And don't worry i won't do that. been reading all about it for the last few days after i decided to give up on jfs 1.51
thanks!

The Hero build certainly looks nice, but it might take you a while to get used to the slight slowness compared to the non-Rosie builds. Still... very pretty, keeps me mesmerized while I wait for my stuff to load... j/k
I've been using aHome for 5 months, i'm used to lag. lol.
nothing prepares you for Hero lag!!! just kidding, with linux-swap or compcache, its pretty snappy, but not comparable to non-hero builds.
well i'll find out soon enough. If it ends up being really bad then i may just go to some other ROM but i'm really hoping to have hero run good. Unfortountly i just have a normal Micro SD 2GB which has no class distinction so hopefully it'll be alright. If not i may have to go get another 8GB.
When i tried to format the last 8GB to get apps2sd working one program destroyed the card. shows up as 8MB now instead of GB. lol.
use cyns rom. most fastes freshes bestes cupcake ever. even tastes better. and his recovery also.

there is a way to fix that on linux mentioned somewhere here on the forums...
it involves just writing 0's through the card

I too noticed alot of lagging in jf1.51 after moving all apps to sd so I took off Ahome and openhome and it runs alot better. I also need to get a class 6 sd card which will help speed things up. currious...does anyone know if there are limitations on the size of the sd card for G1? I looked on HTC's site and T-mobile's as well it just says micro sd 2.0.
didn't know that. guess i'm gonna have to grab that and try to fix my 8GB
and i thought that the G1 was capped at 8GB but i've seen people say they have 16GB cards so i guess you can go up to 16gb. which i think is the largest they make in micro sd

Lol the more space you have the more you will fill it. its like buying a 160gb ipod.... ur never gonna use all of it

Should i upgrade my G1 to Cupcake?

i have bought a G1 to use as my main phone, but also for application development
it is currently NOT on cupcake
should i upgrade or is it better for development to leave it as it is?
are there any benefits in not upgrading?
i'm guessing that i'll have to upgrade sooner or later though...
Yes....upgrade and root
yes
Upgrade. As of now there r now apps in the market make for 1.0 or 1.1 frimware. So it would be best to upgrade. Also is Ur g1 rooted. Becuase without root it cantt be fully utilized.

Lmao, I always use WiFi just because it's faster if I'm posting from my phone Anyway back on topic, to the OP do you have an ADP?
no, i have a G1
am i right in thinking it can only be upgraded to Cupcake using OTA?
This is bad if true, because i dont even have a data plan.
Also last night i reset the factory settings, now i can't even login, as i have no credit???
On WM I was used to booting into HardSPL and flashing the image like that, isn't there something similar on Android?

Correct, why not just root your phone? You can install a great many number of incredible ROMS. Cupcake is available OTA but if you're not registered with T-Mobile I don't think you can get it. I believe you can though without a data paln.

Sense Rom without apps2sd?

Hi, i was wondering if you guys know of any good sense roms without the need for apps2sd? I remember using tinyhero and liked it, but cant find it anymore. Im sorry, i tried finding it on my own but i dont know how to search it without bringing up everything that requires apps2sd. I will be getting the Incredible in a few weeks so i dont wanna bother buying a new class6 sd for just that long.

Only one that I'm aware of.
I honestly won't waste my time though. Why would you want 1.5 when we are catching up on 2.1
1.5 to 1.6 to 2.0 to 2.1
That'll be like going back to RC17 and being content.
Haha good point. I just like the layout of sense and wanna play around with it sometimes. I'd probably get tired of the slowness after a day or so tho

RyanZA's lag fix: will it work on the vibrant? **UPDATE** IT WORKS!!

**UPDATE**
it works provided you don't have any of the previous ext stuff set up.
**UPDATE2**
rhcp0112345 has put together a *nix / osx based version of the script.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7582553&postcount=37
**UPDATE3**
anomalous3 made a modified version that uses bind mounting instead of symlinks and will remove the init.d ext version of apps2sd. NOTE: ONLY FOR PEOPLE WITH THE init.d ext hack!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7583566&postcount=51
**UPDATE4**
I tried it using rhcp0112345's version and I'm now getting over 2100 in quadrant, w00t!
**UPDATE5**
rhcp0112345 posted a one click .apk version

i guess this mod has officially been pwned...
**ORIGINAL POST**
over in the samsung galaxy s section ryanZA seems to have come up with a lag fix that is much better then the /data->SD version.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749495
has anyone tried this on the vibrant? im assuming it should work because it only does some partitioning which doesn't really seem like much of a change to anything that might be different between the models....
anyways im not gona try it till i get some confirmations that it does in fact work on the vibrant...

Just wanted to chime in and say thanks for this, it even works on the Captivate with stock ROM(2200 Quad score)... trying to convince my buddy with a Vibrant to give it a whirl too!

Interesting. It should work fine. I considered that angle, but the bottleneck seemed to be the flash itself. The **** rfs filesystem could certainly be part of the problem though. I'll see if I can work something up that uses our existing stuff like the init.d so we can fsck the filesystem before mounting it to make sure it doesn't get corrupted. It would be nice to not require partitioning as that step seems to confuse the hell out of people for some reason. The down side is possible delays from traversing 2 filesystem drivers, but Quadrant at least seems to like it fine. I wonder how the general lag is for them now, benchmarks aren't everything.

Haha thats true but developers especially ones that make ROMs go thru testing and risk their DEVICES to make sure that nothing is going wrong and all that before "releasing" it. Although this isn't a release of his works he could of at least tested it without telling other people to go try it out, but im gonna sit here and wait for a status report.
same here! i really want this to work for the vibrant.. will keep an eye on this thread

well i was hoping someone had already tried it. but also i wanted to notify the vibrant users of its existence.
but now were all sitting here watching and nobody is trying LOL. (i haven't even rooted my phone yet)
quick question plus off the topic so dont get piss off at me. anyway can i partition my sd card the old way. as of just putting the sd card in my g1 and use amon ra recovery to partition it can i do it that way??? thanks for anybody that can answer this for me.
Yea, I tried something similar yesterday and my Quadrant is at 2100+. It's the same idea, just not from him.
Very interesting. and very smart done.
HMM! time to test this baby.

Does anyone know if you need to revert JAC's kernel and the EXT-hack script thats included w/ it prior to trying this?
I ran the fix and I got 1700 in Quadrant... hmm I wonder how I can get it above 2000...
Edit: I rebooted... now got 2153.

Question Open Zio Revamped

I tried to post this in the thread for the Open Zio Revamped but it wont let me since I dont have enough posts yet. lol Anyways on to the questions.
First off when I install my apps and try to move them to the SD card they disapear from the app list after I reboot. How can I stop this from happening?
2nd When I get a call from sombody sometimes it has the wrong picture for a contact. I had this problem with Open zio as well though.
Thank You
Well i have been doing some research and this happens quite often apparently. What causes it is the loader boots up before the SD card is scanned. So when I force close the ICS loader and open my app draw they appear. I cant seem to find a way to change when the loader will load up though... I would like to make it load a few seconds later to give the sd card a chance to scan first. Does anybody know of an app or anything that can do this? I have looked and cant seem to find one.

I can confirm the wrong pictures on phone calls from time to time, but the sd card problem i havent personally experienced...
Sent from my LG-P509 using xda premium
I have found a work around other than force closing ICS. I downloaded an app called FMR Memory Cleaner that cleans the cache of a lot of the system apps including the ICS Loader and so when that is done ICS then pics up the data from the SD card. I think it could be possibly the SD card is slow to read for one reason or another because I did notice when I had Open Zio before it would often either take a while to load all of the apps though they did load or the Loader would crash and when it reloaded then the apps that were on SD would show. Although this has happened with both of my SD cards it was more noticeable on my 8 gig one. If anybody else is getting this issue I hope this helps until I or somebody else finds a more permanent fix for this what seems so far to be a one of a kind issue lol.
Ohh and when I said it happens quite often I meant throughout all androids not just zio or with any particular rom. Just to clear that up.
I haven't tried open zio yet. I'm contemplating it though cause I have a larger problem and like you I can't post where I need to yet. I need to enable usb debugging but can't access settings.... or much else.
You mean its not available in the settings any longer? Or the settings crash whenever you try to get in them. I probably cant help but if I get time ill try to look up your issue and see if I find anything. What did you do before that happened? Have you tried resting the phone back to the base setup?
My phone is 2.2.1 from Cricket and I also have one contact that shows the wrong picture too. Could it be a sync issue or a google server issue?

chalk another one up as I am also having the sd card issue. if i FC the ICS launcher it picks them up but only for a short time. as soon as the phone sleeps it reverts back. im looking for a read booster for the sd card but i havent found one that seems appropriate yet. ill post back here when i do.

I've personally had alot of problems with SD cards that come with the phones that I've had, I don't know what it is with them but when I change to a new SD card my problems stop( in particular the T-Mobile optimus t was the worst) . Have you tried reformatting the SD card? Maybe that will help.
Sent from my LG-P509 using xda premium
yeah reformatted and re installed all my apps ( i did a full copy of my sdcard just in case i had something i needed to save, but didnt copy it back to the sdcard)
Still having same problem
Its a known bug in the 2.2.1 build, it's nice to see that someone is trying to keep the Zio community going... Mine has a bad battery and I wanted to get a better phone anyways since there is no chance the Zio will ever see cyanogenmod or even an AOSP gingerbread build.
If anyone can prove me wrong I'd donate for the effort even though I don't use it anymore...

Same here Mattix I gave up on the Zio a while ago just happened to come back cause a friend asked me to see if there was ever a port for CWM for Sprint users. I got a HTC Incredible and haven't looked back.
