  • Dude u should try checking out zx hero 2.1!!

  • JACK KERNEL WHAT?!

  • Finally! I'm running Modaco 1.5.1 on my G1. Is this still the main rom you're running?  Have you found anything better?

  • Stuck on black boot screen...

  • i have g1 and i tried installing this rom. but i keep getting en error message.

  • 1.6 Galaxy rom on my BH2 did very similar affects. Touchwiz sucks balls. Once I got it off and put the Galaxy rom on it moves so fast. It's seriously a huge jealousy thing for people I know with technically better droid phones. mwahaha

  • @SOJotacon i also have the behold 2 with 1.6 galaxy rom r11 patiently waiting for r12! its fast and good ok batterry !

    only con is theres no vibrate wish there was doe.

    hey sub back and add me as friend bro

  • EmoG, i never flash radio and SPL, it scares the crap outta me, I just 1-click rooted, but in moDaco, do i have to Flash radio and SPL??

  • i think MLIGN 3.0 it's better than all of these roms.

  • will the later modaco roms work on mytouch/g1? i want to try v2.9

  • I'm not sure. But I'm pretty sure they don't unless someone made a port =(

  • Ssup bro,

    Little help - how do I check SPL?

    Bcuz My radio is right, but I cant read SPL on my (powercamera button) combo.

  • That's how you should be able to check it...

    When in doubt. Flash the radio and spl again. Just to be safe. =)

  • Thanx dude,

    I cant wait to be as happy as you are!!!!!!!!

    Damn, I want rom!

    Thanx

  • do you have to partition your sd card?

  • If you want it to run like in my video! =D

    You should also have a class 6 sd card... =)

  • im still stuck at the black screen. helllllllllllllllppppppppppppp­ppppp

  • LOL

    It looks like you did something wrong.... Hmmmm...

    Message me.

  • do you have to upload the recovery image again before flashing the new rom

  • Huh? No. Why would you have to do that?? You just wipe EVERYTHING and flash the ROM. (wipe, wipe ext, repair ext, flash the ROM)

  • dude3. you have answered my prayers. dat thing is like sonic fast. thank the stars and lord jesus

  • Running pretty smooth been on it since about the 16th of September...but I have no idea how to do Apps 2 SD?!

  • I know! Me neither!!! I'm gonna find out though... =p

  • I am rooted and have HSPL10.95.3000

    do i need a different version noted in your side bar version 1.33.2005? Thx

  • Ya.. It needs to be 1.33.2005

    Be very careful and make sure you flash the radio FIRST then do the SPL

    Even if you THINK you have the right radio already. Just be safe. I'm warning you. =p

  • Cool it works. On yours it seemed like the phone wasn't "loading" and slow. Mine seems to be that way. Are there any settings I should know about? I just rooted and this is my first rom experience. Have u tried the Modaco 2.3? if so what do u think. Any other roms u suggest? :)

  • Also bluetooth doesn't work. *<:o)

  • LOLOL!!!

    We all should know that by now. =)

  • Modaco 2.3 doesn't work on a G1. There was a direct port of 2.2 and it was horrible... Some people managed to get it working better and labeled it as their own but have done so much to it, its not even Modaco anymore. =p

    MLIGN does a good Modaco optimized so you should try that one too. =)

  • does this work with the g1 ?

  • LOL Couldn't you tell I was using a G1 in the video??

    =D

  • I have a class 2 and it's actually running alright, can't wait to see how it performs when I get a class 6... When I do...Radio, SPL, ROM, partition, wipe ext, re-install ROM?

    Also, does the home screen not rotate? Mine wont >:o

    Thanks for the reply's everyone appreciates them!

  • If you've already done your radio and spl (which I assume you have otherwise you wouldn't be able to run this ROM) then you don't ever have to do it again. So when you get your new card, do everything but upgrade radio and spl again. =p

    For now, NO Hero's auto rotate on the home screen. Don't think they ever will.

    But someone has made a hack so it doesn't force close when you open the keyboard on the home screen. Hopefully we start seeing that in all the new Hero ROM's....

  • will a class 6 8gb make the hero rom run faster cuz now i have a class 2 8gb?

  • Class 6 will make a big difference. =)

  • lol, it woulda been great if you had the end all shortcut for advanced task manager and when you were doing the "left, right, ooh, right, right, left!" and then clicked on the shortcut and said "POWER UPP!!" and went super swipe speed, lol.

  • HAHAHAHA! =D

  • Word dude, street view is the main part of the app, I need that

  • Ya... for now, you'll have to go with Cyanogen.

    No Hero as of yet. =/

  • Now it's running much better on 64mb Swap than it was on 96mb Swap, weird.

    Still slight lag when returning to home screen but usually just a second or two no big deal.

    I also noticed the Street View doesn't work on this rom like the guy below said, so it's not just his phone/rom it's everybody's.

    No complaints though, loving this rom, just need street view!

  • Oh really? 64MB is better? Do you have a class 6 card??

    Ya. Apparently street view doesn't work on Hero's.. =(

    Hopefully someone makes a fix. =/

  • Ok, thanks. I thought mocado has the best rom. Y would u need to test others?

  • Haha... I don't NEED to. But I do it to help everyone else! So they know before flashing what they're getting into...

    And MoDaCo can't be the king forever... LOL

    Something will beat it.... eventually. =p

  • Emogamer..thanks to u i have modaco's rom! I appreciate your help in all ur videos, but i have a question about it. #1 it didnt come with google maps which is weird and we have to download it from the market place..ok cool,but how come i try to use street veiw, & it wont allow me to see it, at all. Do u have this problem too? & do u know how to fix this?

  • Interesting.

    I know Maps wasn't included cuz its a large app and its better to download from the Market Place so that you get updates. =p

    I never tried the street feature. I'll let you know as soon as I flash back (I'm testing some other ROMs right now) =p

  • will it make my htc magic make a little slower? or some programs not work?

  • No, it wont your phone slower. LOL

    Programs not work? Everything that works with your phone now, will work fine...

  • I had 96mb swap...but now I'm doing 64mb swap, should it be better now? Mine is/was still kind of laggy it's driving me mad

  • I think that can help.

    What's lagging on it??

  • damn i just flashed it soooo fast

  • I know, right? =D

  • quick question... i just installed the new rom and its stuck on a black screen, i know u said it takes up to 2 mins or more but its been about 15 mins should i try installing it again?

  • 15 minutes isn't bad... Try waiting up to 30 minutes... After that something went wrong.

    Message me after another 15 minutes.... =p

  • hey... ive got the standard 2gb sd that came witht he phone.. do you think i could have the hero as fast as yours if i partition it....

  • Its not so much the size of your card. Its the speed (class) and the size that you make the linux-swap partition...

    I think your card is a class 2 (slowest)

    Don't think it will be as fast as mine, but it shouldn't be unusable...

  • ok kool... Thank you... very helpful..

    il just get a better sd card.. im currently on cyanogen which is awsomly fast so im kinder in a comfort zone lol... oh and just a recomondation sonce you make the most coolest vids i love to see one on G1 Apps... just an idea... tc

  • That's what I was gonna do! Cuz some people don't know what apps are cool and sometimes how to even use them. =p

  • hey Bro,

    I followed your guide got the rom to load.

    But it lags just like the rest of them.

    It even freezes when pressing home button it shows a htc logo and then proceeds to load for 10-60 secs.

    Also can anyone else not change there wallpaper.

  • How big is your linux-swap? You should make it 64 and you won't be having any of those problems... =p

  • Alright cool cool, could that be "the" reason why it's lagging?

    This ROM is pretty clean looking though, besides the lag I'm loving it, lol

  • Ya, since its pulling a lot of info from the sd card... A slower card means a slower rom... =/

    Also if you make your linux swap 64MB it will help a lot...

  • ohhh i'll take that off then.

    Umm, I'm not sure how to tell what class it is?

    Should i got from 32mb swap to 96mb?

    And just do your instructions, but just change the simple math from 32 to 96?

    THANKS!!

  • Yup! Exactly!

    And the class is printed on the card itself... might need a magnifying glass... lol

  • Sand Disk 4GB Micro SD HC...

    I have 3 partitions.

    Running overclock widget now seems to help for a little while, but then the lag comes back.

  • Overclock widget is BAD for Modaco...

    Is that a class 4 or class 6 sd card??

    Don't know what to really tell you... Try using less widgets and/or increasing your linux-swap and/or swappiness...

  • how is the lag in terms of the apps (closing/opening them) and with more than one running in the background?

  • Its really quick. A WHOLE LOT FASTER than Jac 1.8 or 2.1

    I usually have my main apps running in my background (messaging, browser, peep, gmail) and you can see how well it runs. Check out my FULL review video of MoDaCo... You can see it in action. =)

  • Mine is starting to lag now, any suggestions?

  • What class SD card are you using??

  • My kernal version is:

    "2.6.29-jac-ski root@DesertLake-Labs #3"

    Is that good or bad for this ROM? It seems to be running fine, but what is your kernal, how can I get it, and is it hard to install? Haha

  • That's good. Same as mine. That means its naked. =)

    I'm gonna try upgrading my kernel and if it doesn't slow down... I'll let you know all the details. =)

  • Comment removed

  • have lastest radio and spl, cyanogen 4.04 was installed prior. Install runs fine. G1 screen stays up for awhile, then goes to blank screen and then it never seems to boot? cyanogen works fine otherwise. what would cause it to hang forever, sd card prob?

  • I didn't say in the video but I think I said in the sidebar that there is NO bootscreen which means.... black screen when installing (or rebooting)

    It will stay there for awhile but be very patient and wait 10 or 15 minutes (depending on your phone) still the homescreen pops up. =)

  • left for an hour or so on blank screen. no go. might have to get new sd card, not sure. it's frustrating.

    reflashes to cyanogen without a problem. triple checked the radio and spl, all current.

  • Dang... that really sucks. Don't worry though, there was an update that I'm gonna try to see if it works. Send me a message and I'll send you the link and you can see if it works for you...

  • funny guy, nice ROM

  • i must be doing something wrong because it keeps telling me that there is no such file

  • No such file? WHen you do what now??? Message me.

  • ?????

  • i'm sorry, still says you're not following np. I don't want to be a pain in the butt lol

  • Emogamer?!?

  • i cant direct twit if you're not following lol

  • you're not following lol

  • Pluss a close friend of mine says there is a full scal running HERO ROM......

  • I just want to ask some questions on ROM's, and cpu

  • im stuck on the home screen, it keeps on reloading cuz my mail keeps force closing, ang suggestions, i don't wonna flash again, cuz imma lose some important messages

  • Your gmail?? You shouldn't lose any email's if you reflash. Try a reboot and see if that solves anything...

  • I sent you a message with my cell# call so I can ask some questions about my phone. I think you may know. Believe me I wont follow any body else on this. They dont detail like you... And seem to lac somethings.................

  • HAHA! =D

    I'm actually pretty nooby... =/

  • you had replied to me via twitter cause I sent you a twit.

  • No! Dont get me wrong..... Modac is faster.. and Ive flashed 8 phones with it..... But the jacruns pretty well... At least I dont need overclock...

  • Ya. JAC's stuff is never "bad" by any means...

    You need overclock for....JAC's?

    I only used overclock on JAC's to get rid of that annoying delay when the cpu would scale to a higher frequency....

    I don't use overclock on Modac's cuz for some reason it slows it down. LOL Go figure. =p

  • some how I feel better wiping via the pc then on the g1. but maybe you can tell me. by the way can can you follow me on twitter so i can answer via twitter other then this way? if you dont mind? if not np : )

  • How to wipe ext3 using your phone?

    What's your twitter???

  • Do uou know how to tweak the sound?

  • Oh, you mean to make it louder?? I think some guy made a hack for that in the newer Hero ROMS...

    Its beyond me though. I never had a problem with the volume. =p

    I guess if you want a super fast homescreen but lower volume. Then there's MoDaCo...

    If volume is really important to you, but a slower laggier homescreen, there's JAC.

    To each his own. =p

  • do u have an xda account? i will show you the thread or give u a link to the audiohakc.apk

  • Ya, I added you.

    Its ChrisChavez

    Thanks bro =)

  • I flashed modaco and its lost some sound..... What I mean is that its not as loud as jac 1.8

  • haha i mean nervous about partioning, and if i do that will it mess up anything if i ever wanted to unroot?.... sorry about all the questions, im new to this

  • Hey, no problem bud. I was once where you are too. LOL

    No, you can't mess up ANYTHING to do with your phone when partitioning... You're just making separate little spaces in your sd card. Get it?

    If anything does go wrong you will only get an error and then you can just start again from the beginning of my video to try again.

    I know it looks scary but just follow the steps in my video. I believe in you! Haha...

    You can do this! =p

  • Hey dude, is there any chance that you could post up a vid of how to root, and then install Hero? I root my G1, but then it somehow resets the whole thing and I have to start over.

  • Have you used the "1 Click Root" app???

    I should have a video coming soon of me using it to root my buddy's phone =)

  • thanks for the come back. what I did was re fromat the ext3 and the swap the old fashion way, via the pc using Paragon Partition Manager™ 10.0 Personal. now I also have that mean demon in my g1 too );-)

  • Wowzers... you do know you could do that "on the go" through your phone, right? =p

    I don't know why, but I HATE connecting my phone to the computer so I try to avoid it when I can... I'm weird. =p

  • im kind of nervous, if i mess up on typing the words in, will it brick?

  • Are you talking about partitioning your sd???

    Or.....?

    You basically almost had the ROM on your phone you just pulled out too quick.

    Deep breaths. Try again. =)

  • Do i have to wipe ext 3 to have this rom?

  • Sure do. =)

  • i just flashed the rom and rebooted it and the g1 screen came on and dissapeared and it been a black scren for like 15 min. now what do i do??? can i take the battery out and start over

  • NOOOOOO!!!! LEAVE IT ALONE!!! Let it finish doing its thing!!!

    This ROM doesn't have a boot image so it will be black til you get to the home screen!!! Be patient!!!

  • know if this Rom has a mytouch version?

  • I believe it is compatible with MyTouch or there is a mytouch version... I think it might even be a newer version. Message me for the link

  • I wanna make sure I am flashing the newest radio and spl. The file names before renaming them are ota-radio-2_22_19_26I and spl-signed. Are those the files you have as well?

  • Indeed. =)

  • I can flash radio, then go reboot, then put spl on sd, and then flash. After that just follow the ext3 wipe and flash rom. Can I apply these updates including the radio, spl, and rom using the apply any zip on cyanogen 1.4?

  • The ROM I know for a FACT works with "apply and zip"

    SHOULD work for radio and spl too but not sure...

    If you wanna be safe (and waste time) just rename those one at a time to update. =/

  • I am pretty new to this Mod thing. I have only been rooted for a week.

  • Oh. Well, just download the newest radio and rename it "update" and apply update from recovery terminal

    DO the same thing with SPL.

    MAKE SURE YOU DO RADIO THEN SPL IN THAT ORDER

    Kernels are different than SPL. =p

    After that, follow my video for wiping ext3 then flash the ROM. =)

  • Okay I think I have the newest SPL already. I know this is a dumb question but is that the same thing as the kernel? Mine says 2.6.29-daproy-haykuro dan@sunnyvale )

  • Hey man, I love your videos by the way and you help me partition my sd. I wanna get on MoDaCo from JacHero 1.1. I have the latest 2.22.19.26I radio and haykuro kernel. Do i need to do the ext3 partion wipe? And do i need to upgrade to new spl? I am trying to get my G1 running fast like yours in the video. Jac 1.1 is pretty slow. Thanks man, Peace.

  • Yes. New spl is needed.

    MUST wipe ext3.

    JAC 1.1 is slow. This will blow your mind. =)

  • Dude he's up to 2.2 already. Can you show us how to flash this as he is using a totally different radio than we all have.

  • Ya, he's up to 2.2 for people with the actually HERO PHONE.

    Not G1 peeps. =/

    And its a different radio cuz its a different PHONE. =p

  • wth? now it says it cant read my sd card, E: mount /dev etc. I wiped the ext3 still didnt help, suggestions plz

  • Ugh... I know, I've heard of a few people having this problem too... I wish I could get to the bottom of it. I've never had a problem flashing ANY rom since I've had my G1 and I'm the biggest noob. =p

    Did you repair ext file systems???

    If I hear anything I will let you know.

  • Try this: 1) boot into recovery 2) Go to phone terminal and enter this: # mount /system/sd # cd /system/sd/dalvik-cache # rm * (removes all files within the dalvik-cache folder) # cd /system/sd/app_s # rm * (removes all files within the app_s folder) # recovery 3) After the 'recovery' command, you should be back to the Cyan 1.4 recovery console. NOW WIPE. - No need to repair as we havent deleted any folders.. 4) Apply the Update
  • this is the first hero rom that didn't work. it said something about some dir it couldn't find.

  • 1.5.1???

    That's crazy... The guy above you had the same problem and I know 1 other guy experiencing the thing also... Ugh.

    That really sucks cuz I want EVERYONE to experience this ROM...

    I'm pretty much a noob with this stuff so I'm not so good with the troubleshooting... =/

    If I see anything I will let you know.

    All I can say is wipe, wipe ext3, wipe again, repair ext, flash

    =(

  • Try this: 1) boot into recovery 2) Go to phone terminal and enter this: # mount /system/sd # cd /system/sd/dalvik-cache # rm * (removes all files within the dalvik-cache folder) # cd /system/sd/app_s # rm * (removes all files within the app_s folder) # recovery 3) After the 'recovery' command, you should be back to the Cyan 1.4 recovery console. NOW WIPE. - No need to repair as we havent deleted any folders.. 4) Apply the ROM
  • does it reboots, and stays on the HTC screen for yu guys?

  • Did you wipe ext3???

    And which HTC screen? Cuz MoDaCo doesn't have a boot screen. =p

    If its the HTC screen where it has a lockscreen and shows the notification bar then just wait. The homescreen will pop after awhile.. =)

  • hahahahah satan, im going to flash this forsure

  • Serious, huh!?!?

  • Haha, you're awesome man. Love your videos.

    Btw, where did you get the all white back cover?

  • Haha! Thanks man!

    So you noticed the spiffy white battery cover, eh?

    Ebay, dude. I think I payed like $6 free shipping. =)

    I actually have a white keyboard to go with it but that is damn near impossible to install. LOL

    =p

  • i stuck on 1.5.1 for awhile and i was about to suck it up and try drizzys 1.4r1 but after this vid nm... i am not a fan of the new hero rom after ive been reading about the bug and slowness compared to 1.5.1 and 1.6r2a. what is your sd card?... ive been wanting to start uploading videos to youtube but i dont have an idea on what to do =( maybe phone n game news, and silly vids

    and u know momorocks? thats awesome. that grl is like...icing on the cake. she makes lots drool lol. <3 dorky-ness

  • My sd is 8GB class 6

    Ya, I just got started with the G1 modding Youtube vids. Was thinking of doing something like you said. Phones. Games. Tech. Silly stuff. =p

    Ya, she's a good friend of mine. Neat kid. =p

  • what brand of sd card? i got shafted when i bought a kingston 4gb class 4 on amazon.. so i guess i am sticking with sandisk.

    imo, i dont think showing different roms on video really helps. i think it helps more when the phone is loaded with sms and app to test the use in reality.

    and i was goin to use my g1 to shoot just reality videos and upload to youtube, but the quality is just crap.

    and whats your username on xda?

  • My xda is ChrisChavez

    And my brand is.... shoot. Can't remember. I think an off one. But it works great. Never given me any trouble. =)

    Ya, I get a LOT of sms after only a couple of days so I try to only show a ROM after 48 hours or so... I couldn't hold back on Modaco though. =p

    Gonna post another vid after 48 hours with it. =)

  • and aww dude 6 bucks for the white battery cover??!?!

    send me a link.. all i see on ebay is 15 bucks from china for a whtie battery cover... and i didnt want to wait 2-3 weeks to get it so i dcided to spray paint my battery cover white. i got results on XDA in a thread. my xda username is brian_v3ntura

  • Crap. Its not on my My Ebay anymore... Gonn have to search my email. =/

    I know your xda name! I see you all the time on there! =p

  • yea i used to post a lot on xda but not much anymore. i jsut like to argue =) i LOVE arguing and debating and shoitz like that.

  • HA HA!

    Ya, people are very testy on there... Like they're all moody and stuff =/

  • i even argue alot with people on youtube. and i was surprised to see that i watched 10,000 videos.. like wtf?!

    and how do i change my age on youtube?? i kinda lied about my age when i first signed up =X im actually 20.

    and yea ppl like to say SEARCH. but i know at times when i search i get very pissed that i have to go thru a lot of clutter to find answers.

    and doesnt she have the pre? lol i hate my g1...its jsut soo obsolete nowadays. cant wait for a better android on tmobile line

  • and yea ur friend is like awesome! we ppl like her around more

  • Ya, she's really cool and down to earth. And girly. LOL

    Its all video games and shopping with her. =p

  • Haha, that's awesome.

    You think you'll post up a tutorial on things needed to flash this rom, and how to flash it?

  • I think I might.... Although most people already have their phones rooted, radio and spl updated, and sd cards partitioned...

    Sure why not. I'll try to get to it very soon. =p

  • Ohh, ok. i guess I'm just scared that I might screw up something since i'm new to all of this. But since I'm running cyan's latest, does that mean that i have the right radio and spl to run hero? And would I just need to follow your partition video to correctly partition my 8gb class 6?

  • OH! So your phone IS rooted? Well, that's the biggest step. =p

    And if you're not sure if you have the right radio and spl then you probably dont. LOL

    Yes, follow my video on partitioning your card and when you're all done with that- message me and I'll tell you how to update your radio and spl =)

  • Alright cool. Thanks a lot for helping a newbie out! =]

  • I told that this modaco was no joke my card isnt even partitioned cause I fried my last one lol new one on the way I'm on a 2 GB class 2 card and I can use this one only one problem music and browser exiting give me htc loading screen

  • Ya, you weren't lying! LOL

    I get NO load screens... I'll post a more in depth review of Modaco coming soon... =p

  • sounds good to me

  • told ya it was fast. lol

  • I should have listened

    I feel sheepish... =p

  • quick suggestion tell people the thinkgs that arent working like its bluetooth and some of the led lights for me

  • Ya, that will come in my full review for this after 48 hours with it. =)

    Thanks for the suggestions!

  • yeah cool. tell me how it goes. if you may

  • Crap. Won't install. Something about permissions busybox error...

    Some other guys in the forums were having the same issue...

    Looks like back to 1.5.1! Lol... =p

  • Okay. Nevermind. 2.2 was for Hero users. Not G1 people. LOL

    I feel really dumb now. =p

  • hahaha well you should keep that on the down low. i think i wanna update to the 1.5.2 cause it has the boot logo screen, instead of the plain and boring black screen. any input on this?

  • I wouldn't do it. It's updating it to another JAC kernel which I haven't tried, but when I tried updating it to the NEWEST JAC kernel (1.5.4) back in the day, it made it slower... Which isn't good.

    If you try it, let me know how it goes- but it seems like too big a trade off for a boot logo screen. =/

  • hay does this reboot its self cuz im currently on JACxHERoski v 2.0 and it reboots like 3-4 times a day and it pisses me off cuzi was on a call and it rebooted

    ps. i saw your post last night three in a row on your vid lmfao hahah

  • Had it for almost 2 days and no reboots my friend. =)

    Ya, XDA peeps were getting PISSED. LOL

    Heh heh...

  • trust me i updated to all version each time it came out. And nothing compares to the speed of 1.5.1. check out my vid on how to fix the boot on 1.5.1..... and btw im not a sir! =(

  • Really, I had no idea you were a girl! That's awesome though. Can't believe you figured out all this G1 stuff! =p

  • Im glad i did. I wouldn't wanna miss out on all these g1 goodies!! lol am i like the only girl who does this? now im beginning wonder..

  • I really think you are! LOL

    Its awesome! =D

  • this one is fast but phone contacts are not on my phone. anyonefigure a way to get this to work? thanks

  • Huh? Works fine for me.

    You're not using any kind of backup/restore apps??

    You should wipe, wipe ext3, wipe again, repair ext file systems, flash, reboot. =p

  • i just updated to this ROM right now and... wow (i dont think im allowed to cuss here) BUT thanks man!!! whats with the H that took over the 3G?
