I have a rooted G1
& i have jf's 1.5 build with CM's recovery
But the other day out of being scared that i bricked my g1
i flashed to jf but after i thought i "bricked"
i realized that was normal when installing Hero SPL/Radio
So im think of finally flahing to Hero
but theres two options for me
1. flash he spl/radio again then install JAC's Slow SD hero ROm
2. wait till i get paid next week and buy a new 8gb or 16gb
(does the g1 support 16???) then install Jac's Hero Rom but with Apps2SD
oh and if any body out there with JAC's Slow SD rom does it really differ from the A2sd rom(except 4 the obvious)
An does it give you a decent start off of memory like 70mb internal or something
And since i already installed the hero spl/radio do i need to reflash them in order to install the rom
or can i just go ahead and flash the Slow SD rom
And last does Swapper make a difference on the Slow SD Rom
Thanks in advanced
Because i wont beable to read the replies tonight(maybe)

unless you have flashed another spl to your phone you still have the new spl. yes the g1 supports 16gb sdcards. i haven't tried the slow version of hero because i have a class 6 8gb sdcard but you should be able to flash the slow rom just fine. i think it leaves around 30mb of free space but i am not sure and swapper should make it run faster on the slow version set it to 32/30 (swap/swappiness) should give best results. you should invest in a class 6 sdcard though. also if using the swapper app make sure you put the swapfile in /system/sd so it will not corrupt your sdcard when you mount it. if there is anything else i have not covered just ask and i will answer to the best of my ability.
So pretty much since I already flashed the spl/radio from I think it was
Saphire ports or something like I'm able to flash to pretty much any ROM including JAC's Slow SD
With no problems??
And if I flash to JAC's Slow SD ROM today, can I reflash to the A2SD ROM next week when I get a new card
Oh yeah and is there a way to check my spl just to make sure I got the right one?
ohhh and I already know how to check my radio
Go into bootloader (camera+power) SPL:1.33.2005

Well if he goes to JACHero 2.36 he shouldn't use swapper. Just create the linux-swap partition on your sd card and everything is auto from there. You wouldn't want to have the partition and use swapper because that will mess things up. Plus having linux-swap partition compared to swapper makes a huge difference.

Yep my bad. Its to early here at work. lol
So if I create a linux swap patition using paragon partiton ill select "linux swap'
And then flash the rom ??and then after I boot up I won't need to do anything??
Oh and since I will most likely flash to JAC's a2sd rom because I'm going to buy a sdhc card next week

JACHero 2.63 will automatically see the linux-swap
Ok well I think I'm going to flash to slow sd for now then next week to a2sd
Oh and just to make sure my radio is 2.22.1.16 or something like that
And my spl is 1.33.2005 so am I all good to flash to jachero
and I have linux swap so I can flash right???
Oh and how would it most likely take to boot for the first time??
Thank you in advance

Yep as long as you got the spl and radio you good. You really don't have to have the linux-swap partition but if you do it will pick it up automatically. And it shouldn't take a long time to boot up the first time.
Thanks man I really appreaciate the help
And from everyone els to
Oh and one last ?
Since I'm going to flash to the slow sd rom
When I reflash next week to a2sd jac with my new 4 gig or 8 I'm not sure do I have to prep the card
With the recovery img
Fat32
Ext3 and the linix swap
And it would turn on fine??
Oh and is ext3 a replacement for ext2
So that meaning all my apps on ext3
Music photos etc.. on fat32
And linux swap is what??
I think I'm confused here
I just want to make sure that next week I don't muck up my g1

You won't have to do anything with the recovery img because that is already on your phone. The ext3 is just like the ext2 but suppose to be safer for the card so yes all your apps will be on there and photos, music, videos and everything else on your fat32. The linux-swap is basically like giving your phone more ram. If you need help formating your card I have a tutorial in my sig on how to set everything up.

His tutorial is very good and I noticed a HUGE difference moving from swapper app to linux-swap as its own partition.
Oh how big do i make Linix Swap
Anybody??
32MB is fine for swap.
help with my sdcard
Hey guys I was wondering if any of you can help me out get more space on my phone i formarted my sdcard to ex2 and linux_swap and i still get 70mb plz help I nee dthe space I'm running the latest jachero
it saves to the sd automatically
i think
it doesnt show as merged internal/sd
it just saves to sd
help
is not showing anything it keep making my internal memory smaller
well idk what to say maybe
reflash hero then see if that works
oh and are you sure you didnt download his Slow SD ROM
if you dont know what that is its basically JAChero but with apps to internal memory maybe you did that
because thats what is sounds like
Can I install the rom with out paritioning the sdcard [jachero v2.7.3]
Yes but you will have very little room and a very slow ROM

Yes you can run it, but it is recommended to partition to make it run more smoothly. Take a look at this post, question number 5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534461
Good luck
Yup, you can but you'll have about 20mb for apps and it will be dog slow. You can make it faster by installing swapper from the market and enabling a swap file, but a swap partition will give a better performance boost (apparently).
does this ROM do Apps2sd automatically as long as you have an ext3 partition?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507151
His changelog says this:
"Modified a2sd script to mount auto but not automatically convert to ext3"
Just out of curiosity, why are you going to that build?
didnt see that part.
it seems to run faster on my 8gb class 6 than cyanogen 4.0.4 did.
should it or should cyanogen be faster? i liked cyanogen but it just seemed to lag more...my friends G1 does the same thing.
also, everytime ive flashed cyanogen's 4.0.4 rom, and i install the wifi tether for root users app, it works, but it will not show up as a secured network, even though on my G1 in the app settings i have it set to be encrypted.
on cupcake 1.3RC2 it shows as a secured network as its supposed to.
He should be releasing a new update to 4.1.99 tonight which apparently will speed it up.
1.3rc2 is WAY outdated. dude's leaked release was about 3x as fast and stable. however, i'd probably consider going with one of cyanogen's roms right now, seeing as Dude has left the game for the time being, so any of his roms are going to be unsupported.
so i should flash cyanogens latest rom (is 4.0.4 still the latest stable) or should i go with 4.1.99 tonite after the update is released as the other guy said?
well, if you're running ok for now, i'd wait around for cyanogen's update tonight.
ill do that.
itll be updated in his thread tonite?
also...i have an 8gb class 6 sd card.
should i run swap? if so, 64mb, 96?
and ext3 vs ext4...i see a few are running 4 but most are running ext3. what are the pros/cons? (what would be the best SD card partition setup for 4.1.99?)
cyanogen has said that he *might* push the update out tonight, but ultimately, hes the only one who knows. as for the swap, running it is completely up to you. I have two g1s that are running 4.1.99 and the swap makes little differenct as far as i can tell. also, ext3 is fine, ext4 (because of its relative instability) is more likely to eat your card faster.
ive heard swap will eat the card faster as well.
i think ill just do fat32 and ext3.
can you explain to me what compcache is/does? i have the files and had it enabled on 4.0.4, but thats been wiped a few days ago so id have to reset it up if i want to use comcache with 4.1.99

compcache compress data that is going to be stored in ram and is cpu heavy
the result is more ram is available for use at the cost of cpu power and as a result battery life.
thats the simple way of stating it
you think i should run it?
i see in your sig you have fat32, ext3, and swap, then it says you have 32mb for comcache, is that a separate partition, or does that use space from your 96mb swap?

The compcache is stored on the RAM. The swap partition is on the SDcard and is used as a backing when the RAM fills up or the information cannot be compressed. The swap is generally for when I'm on a Hero ROM, where I use the swap only (since its a little bit faster for me on Hero)
I have a detailed explanation on the performance benefits on Compcache + Swap only, but I don't remember where it is.
Cyanogen uses Compcache by default, so if you don't have a userinit.sh, it will be on. Try it out, and then try it with the script. See what works better for you
Hey guys,
I found this vid for G1 will this process work for HTC hero if not then how would I go about doing this on the Hero, please help
Not really...
Do you have a rooted phone ? Which rom are you using ?
If your phone is rooted you can try that guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253
There is a section for app2sd.
Why isn't it possible to make the official 2.1 rom which is rooted work with app2sd?
I haven't said that.. I just said that this method is not for the Hero...
I don't know for the official 2.1 rom rooted because I don't use it and it may be because app2sd isn't included..
yeah i know, that you didn't said it sorry, didn't wanted to say something wrong. But in every App2sd Tutorial i found so far you have to install the custom firmware to get app2sd... i mean is it something which has to do with the kernel?
Not really sure but see:
Setup Apps2SD
ONLY RECOMMENDED ON CLASS 4+ SD CARDS. Don't bother if you don't know what this is . GIYF.
Do this process after doing everything else! So make sure you have a working custom rom installed which supports Apps2SD. This is designed for VillainROM which doesn't use a swap, if your ROM does support swap ask for a recommended amount. Also note that the ext2 partition will be unreadable from windows or through android os.
1. Backup your SD card to your computer (very important as this process will wipe all the data on it)
2. Restart your phone into recovery mode (Home + Power)
3. Select:
Partition sdcard
Partition SD
Press Home
Swap-size = 0 MB
Ext2-size = 512 MB (recommended)
FAT32-size = Remainder
Press Home
4. Once complete Reboot system now and wait! This can take 20 minutes or so to complete, so just keep waiting!
(Optional - before reboot) - Under partition sdcard you can convert the ext2 partition to ext3 - "SD:ext2 to ext3" - however this isn't recommended as it can apparently wear out your sd card quicker. I believe VillainROM even supports ext4 as well so you can do "SD:ext3 to ext4" after the first one too. Though again this will typically just wear out your SD faster without providing any speed benefits.

You don't need to install anything... App2SD is included in the rom you have dowloaded (if it is included of course)
Which rom do you have ?
2.1 Official HTC Stock rom with root... and no i don't wanna use a custom rom, because im happy with the stock rom
So it should be because the dev didn't include App2SD in the rom :s
Hmm okay im asking now like a noob:
do i need an apk which i install in the hero, so that i can do the adb-commands and get app2sd working?
do i need to switch the kernel, so that i can do the adb-commands and get app2sd working?
are both of the suggestions wrong and i would need something other than that?
My rom is: RoufianosV1.1-Clean - http://hero-roms.blogspot.com/2010/06/roufianosv11-clean.html
so it does have apps2sd included...

However I don't think that there is an apk..Try to ask it to the dev who provide the rom..
Sorry
thanks man its working now btw, can i increase the fat2 to more than 512mb?
Yes you can but it will be useless because 512 Mb of apps is really huge !!
I agree, but the reason why i want to do it is because i only have about 108mb available internal space so i thought if i increase it above 512mb i should get more perhaps?
There's so many modifications of android, I am a little lost.
The reason I went on this forum is because I was unhappy with how my G1 was only able to install applications and games on the internal memory. It left me with little amount of applications installed and no space.
I started following a guide written in 2008 to root my G1, while doing it, I found another guide written in 2009. Then I found out about Android 2.2 and how it allows you to install applications on the external memory.
I am looking for the best way, to modify the android in order to make it install applications to the external memory.
Which way would you recommend?
Thanks.
If you want 2.2 use the Biffmod ROM but 2.2 can be slow on the G1 especially without the 14mb ram hack. Super D is a very fast and stable 1.6 ROM. Both these ROMs will automatically install your apps to the SD card as long as you partition it. This can easily be done through the recovery.
Use this rooting guide:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Dream:_Rooting
Is Super D better than Cyanogenmod? if so, then what are the major advantages does the Super D has over Cyanogenmod?
Thanks.
What CM are you comparing it to? If its CM4 (Andorid 1.6) then Super D seems to have a bit better performance than the lastest CM4 release.
BTW, Biffmod is based off CM6. It just has some extras such as apps2sd.
