The easiest and fastest way is to use Amon-Ra's recovery; if I'm not wrong, it is in the menu "other". I'll tell you the exact place if you still need, after I finish restoring apps using TB, since I just wiped after installing the XPART ROM.
[Nexus One Android Development] paoloc67:
JB rom XPart needs two partitions ext4 as Rod rom ?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Like ROd's ROM, XPART can use two Ext4 or only one Ext4, with or without swap. After going through Rod's scripts and MIUI scripts, I'd say that if you use Rod's scripts (which I am adapting and testing now), there should be no difference in performance in having one or two Ext4 partitions.
[Nexus One Android Development] paoloc67:
then with your script does not need to download the rom XPart
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Exactly, the beta script I posted above replaces both the A2SD and XPART scripts, and enables the Rod based XPART. It needs to be flashed after wiping and installing a clean ROM, though.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
There is a problem with MIUI backup for some users (as usual my N1 is affected). It just sits there waiting, never finishes the backup.

As soon as I have a fix I'll post it here.

PS: The new XPART seems stable - fingers crossed... :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
I'll be flashing the new 1.8.5 rom as soon as it's downloaded...

Any need to change my ext2 partition to ext4? (that's for A2SD... not confident enough to try xpart yet ;) )
[Nexus One Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Yoy can also redownload the one in my thread, i reuploaded this morning to fix for all languages.
[Nexus One Android Development] timmoty_g:
Hi JB,

So, are you recommending a clean install or flash on top 1.7.30 XPART?

Regards,

Timmoty
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Thanks, I've just tried it and it works. I'll repackage it without a build.prop if you don't mind, so that it won't overwrite ours (passion) with yours (bravo).
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Hi Timmoty,

A clean install, even if the new script will probably wipe it for you. Rod's approach is to create loop filesystems on top of the ext4 partitions. Seems solid and fast, but your existing data in ext4 partitions will not be in a compatible format.
[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:
If I simply want the A2SD version, I have to only (wipe) flash the A2SD version in the first page, right!? No script or other things...!
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Exactly, the script is a test for the next XPART version. A2SD users to update only need to wipe cache and dalvik and flash the new A2SD version.

have u saved the standard theme to use in when you update the ROM? Could u send it 2 me ? :)
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
It should be in your theme manager local list, I never saved it.
[Nexus One Android Development] timmoty_g:
Got it, I've flashed it and so far so good.

I'll do a complete shutdown every few hours to test the robustness of this new XPART.

Thanks and regards...
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
I've already done a couple of shutdowns (and a reboot into recovery) and it seems to stay stable, we'll see.

PS: I've repackaged XJ's backup fix with a N1 build prop, and I am adding it to the third post.

[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:
Flashed over the previous release. Everything fine even if I was a little scared when I saw that some apps were gone... But it was because I got the sd mounted. :)

The only thing is that from the previous release the theme manager is laggy and slow :(

Try cleaning the cache - remove everything under /sdcard/MIUI/.cache - should speed things up a bit.

Hi Jbbandos, no matter how much i try am not able to get to wildmonks site. Can u please post a direct diwnload link to the kernel?
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Weird, I've just been there... and the site was working OK.

Here's the link to his mediafire depository for CM7 style kernels (the one you need for QND MiUI... )

http://www.mediafire.com/?uznqwxoholje2
[Nexus One Android Development] hackermail:
Thanks for the link. Its not only today. I could never get that site to open on my phone. It always times out. Not sure why.
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
No problems, mate.

Though that's real weird. I've just accessed the site on my N1 as well as my PC, and I just can't see why you couldn't...

Anyway, I've just noticed what looks like a bug. Don't know if it's ROM specific, MiUI 1.8.5 or else, but when I try to access SMS settings, I get immediate FCs. Not the more bothering bug ever, but still... I use the A2SD version.

Am I the only one with that problem?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
I don't have that on XPART, and I don't recall having that problem on A2SD. Maybe it is time to wipe launcher data (which should wipe all settings), after backing up the screens (and everything else), of course.
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Would like to try that... But hey, I've got a bug with Backup too... It just doesn't really start, shows the list of things to do, with indication "waiting", and nothing... just keeps waiting, really ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Check the third post - that bug is known and fixed, you only need to flash a zip. The link is in the third post.
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Thanks for the fix on the backup...

Sadly that didn't help with the SMS problem... And I seem to have problems restoring the screens... :confused:

EDIT, no... I finally managed to restore the screens...
[Nexus One Android Development] eidros:
Upgraded to 1.8.5 successfully :)

I have upgraded successfully to 1.8.5 with cache wiping 5X and flashing the upgraded rom. This ROM gets better by the week. Enjoying my N1 more :)

Thank you once again for all your work on the rom.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
One small warning - for XPART, avoid Wildmonk's kernel. The new XPART scripts were working well on my N1, but after flashing Wildmonk's, all quickly deteriorated. Now my N1 won't even boot, stays at the X prompt. I'm restoring everything, just to make sure the problem using XPART only shows with Wildmonk's and not with the default MIUI kernel.
[Nexus One Android Development] timmoty_g:
Hi JB,

I've restarted the XPART for about 10 times (full shutdown and boot), so far so good. I've also been using the stock kernel, no custom kernel. My SanDisk 32GB SDCARD Class-6 is having 3 partitions (128MB SWAP, 2048MB EXT4 and FAT32 for the rest).

So I guess, we can conclude those last tweaks you did really worked well.

Congrats!:)

Thanks a lot man.

Regards,

Timmoty
[Nexus One Android Development] husnain17:
updated 1.8.5(A2SD) everything seems stable.

thanks jb for this awesome rom. :D
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Still on the "bugs" in settings for 1.8.5 A2SD...

Now I've noticed that not only there's the FC with SMS settings, but also on some of sound settings... Impossible to change notifications...

I'm starting to think that it might come from my patching Trackball Alert... I've used the "CM7" smali patch option... Might have messed with some of the settings, notably in terms of notifications, which could explain how everything that is more or less related to notifications generates FC...

To test that theory (and eliminate WM kernel, another potential culprit), I'm reflashing 1.8.5. I'll keep you guys posted.

EDIT.

OK so I did reflash 1.8.5 (after 4x wipe of cache and Dalvik-cache). No change of kernel, no patching of TBA.... I still get FCs whenever I try to go down in the "sounds" settings and whenever I try to open the SMS settings...

So that's either a problem with my setting, or a bug.

If there's no one else having these FCs, I'll be forced to recognize it's my thing and will have to even do a data wipe and a real clean install. Cumbersome, particularly if it's to find that the bug is still there... So I'll wait a bit more ;)

EDIT2.

Might be from the theme app, I'm thinking. It covers some of the elements like sound, notification... :confused:

How to change name of created folder on screen?
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
You open the folder (one click on it), then click on the smalish symbol on the left of the "status bar" of the folder (opposit of the X for closing). That opens a menu where you can select how to sort the elements, and at the top of that, there's a small window showing the name. Click on that and type a new name if you want!
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
It might be your system only. I think that since MIUI is beta, they might change internal structures from one version to another, and cause problems unless one does a full wipe from time to time. I end up doing it more often than I want, as I "play" with the ROMs a lot.

In the end, I use TB (Pro, pays for itself in a short time) for the apps+data and the accounts, and MIUI Backup for the desktops and the notes, to restore everything after each full wipe. Like that it takes less than one hour to restore the 130+ apps I use, and to get everything back to speed.
[Nexus One Android Development] Obsy:
When you open the folder you have an icon on the top left. Click it and then, on the top bar you can write the new name of the folder.

Franc38 was faster

Same bug I've found it on 1.7.17 XPART version... after some restarts sound settings FC come back... I think it's something with theme manager or XPART... Now I'm still on 1.7.30... tomorrow I'll try the new version...
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Yep, sad but true... clean install from time to time are more than required with MiUI...

And I agree, TB pro really is a boon, in conjunction with MiUI backup, that makes the process "not too bad". Real negative thing is Swype... the re-install process is a real PITA.

Still, not the most pleasant perspective. But I'll do it and see how it goes... Now, I'll re-backup my apps with TB (last time was 5 or 6 days ago... don't want to lose the last angry birds high-scores... :D) and factory wipe.
[Nexus One Android Development] liderzre:
Thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] hackermail:
I have been using Xpart with wildmonks kernel for two days and everything seems to be stable so far.

One sad thing i have observed with MIUI in general is that it somehow doesn't feel that snappy and fast anymore since the MIUI gingerbread release. I remember using MIUI froyo from Formel and its performance was always comparable to CM based roms.

I was using using CM 7 nightly before i flashed and latest MIUI(not only QND but from MIUI.us and also MIUI Android site) and i could immediately see the lag in switching/initializing apps, scrolling etc. This is in comparison to CM 7 based roms only. May be that's the price to pay for cool new features that MIUI team introduces with every release or may be its just our old N1 hardware that aging, who knows!!
[Nexus One Android Development] sciacca75:
hi all.

what about contact sorting?

Is possible sorting different than Fisrt Name?

Like Last name sorting?
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
You don't really need that, what with the search feature of the keyboard...

You start typing the numbers corresponding to the letters in the name and hop, presto, you get the corresponding contacts...
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
After a full clean install, no more FCs in the SMS and notifications settings...

My system was indeed in need of a good old factory wipe ;)

Anyone else getting small MMS pics? I've been trying to fix it for hours and no luck. I'm on T-Mobile if anyone could shine some light on this issue. Started happening on this new update (I think, don't really use it much.)
[Nexus One Android Development] MaDInDy:
Hi, JB

I'm not issue on XPART with wildmonk's kernel. I think, because i flash Wildmonk's kernel on the top XPART ROM before first reboot.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Well, on my N1 flashing Wildmonk's kernel is a sure way to ruin XPART. Might be because of the lower voltages, not all N1s are equal, and some have worst tolerance to overclocking and to undervolting.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Check this thread, it might help - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1160681

[Nexus One Android Development] Quantumstate:
Franc et al, the FC on Sound Settings will come back. I had rampant problems with that no matter what I did (A2SD), and finally had to chuck QND for .us because of it.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
I'm glad you found a ROM that works for you.
[Nexus One Android Development] snobrdinrtiste:
stock browser?

is it possible to go back to the stock browser instead of having the Miren/MIUI browser?
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
We'll see...

And if it comes to that, a clean re-install after a full factory wipe is never a bad thing for stability and all... Even if it's a tedious chore.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
You can extract the browser.apk file from a older ROM, mount /system read-write, and copy the old file to /system/app, overwriting the current one. However, it might be broken some day soon, depending on the changes the MIUI devs do to the framework.
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Why would you want that?

Long before the MiUI browser had become the "standard" and even before I first used MiUI, I switched to Miren... Faster, wider full screen, home page with nice features, tab browsing... all options
[Nexus One Android Development] Quantumstate:
Would but that it were so. I literally reinstalled 30 times, each with 5x factory resets and Dalvik wipes in Amon Ra, but every time FC in Sound Settings, which means the phone will not ring for incoming calls.

Several others have had this too, but not as bad as me. It's a mystery why.
[Nexus One Android Development] snobrdinrtiste:
tried that already and it just keeps FC'ing everytime i open it up. i even tried cooking it into a stock 1.8.5 eng rom and no go...

I was on MIREN for the longest time until i tried downloading from filesonic and others and it won't dl the file but the htm page itself...very annoying. so i'm using Opera but still like the stock chrome browser....
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
I just noticed that indeed, dls from these sites doesn't work...

I'll go "shoping" for a "light" browser that does work on that...

it seems that skyfire or dolphin don't work... pitty.

Opera's massive...

EDIT (but moves OK to SD card, so not too bad... still... 21 Mb for a browser... )
[Nexus One Android Development] snobrdinrtiste:
i had my doubts from the beginning with Opera but it seems to work the best...
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Well, even with opera those downloads don't seem to work too well...

We definitely need to have the Chrome browser back in parallel to MiUI/Miren... if only for those downloads (and it's light... light... way lighter than Opera...;) )
[Nexus One Android Development] ocujos:
Hi jbbandos,

Have you included your XPART script optimizations in 1.8.7 release? I use A2SD but am running out of free space on internal flash. I would love to try XPART again.
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
How the heck do you manage to run out of free space with A2SD??

I've got like 160+ apps, some quite large, and still I've got 130+ Mo free of internal memory...

Are you sure that A2SD has indeed worked? There are problems with it, sometimes you need to do an "a2sd repair" and then move Dalvik (doing "a2sd cachesd") etc. to have it work OK. It should execute at install, but most of the time fails.
[Nexus One Android Development] pseudoheld:
i would also guess that he didnt move dalvik to ext. the dalvik cache can fill up pretty damn fast. so yeah enable dalvik2ext and you should have loads of free space again
[Nexus One Android Development] liam1437:
Hi i just realize if u just change it to another english(singapore)

the market error will be settled-dont have to change back to english(uk)
[Nexus One Android Development] liam1437:
somehow each time i tried to move my dalvik 2 anywhere else...i get fc:confused:

so somehow i have stopped trying to do that...

hey i'm using xpart...

enough of internal memory for me

i have tons of apps too^^
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
No, but you can flash it in the following order: 1.8.5 (A2SD or XPART), new XPART script, 1.8.7 XPART update. For next week I'll replace MIUI Xpart with RODs XPART - I don't have time to maintain 3 variants of the ROM, and this one seems much more stable and smooth.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Depends on which apps you run, and the volume of data each has. I have about 120 apps installed, on A2SD only had 80MB free, and there were a couple that I could add and suddenly find myself with 20MB free.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
The market FC problem doesn't show on 1.8.5 ROMs, or has it come back?
[Nexus One Android Development] xavierjohn22:
I cant remember when but befor that rod xpart you are describing is an older version tweak of the xpart script. I am not sure if it contains same files. I remember extracting the old scripts and sending link rod and dracid for old xpart.

No time to look into script so i might be wrong.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
This one is from the last of Rod's ROMs, it seems to be based on your XPART but only has one init script, and mounts loop filesystems on top of the physical ones. He had journaling disabled for the first ext4 partition and enabled for the second, I enabled it for both and enabled also trim handling.

If this is indeed based on the older XPART scripts, I might try "updating" it - adding the loop mounting to the recent ones, as well as enabling journaling. This seems to have made the difference on my N1, I gladly trade off the small speed decrease for the added stability. My N1 running XPART would start with data corruption in 2 days at most, and now its been running since Saturday without any problems (except when I installed Wildmonk's kernel).
[Nexus One Android Development] hackermail:
Xpart finally started misbehaving after 3 days if usage. Getting tonnnn of FCs. Well it was fun while it lasted!!! :-D. Jb, did u try data2whatever? I tried it from MIUI NX and seems to me more stable.
[Nexus One Android Development] liderzre:
I have no problem with xpart. Work great.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Which of the XPART did you try? The "regular", or the Rod based script?

I think this last one might be better described as d2ext, I'll have to check which scripts are in the XJ d2ext variant. My problem then will be to see if I can maintain 3 ROM variants, when my time is already short for 2. Probably I'll drop one of the XPART variants.
[Nexus One Android Development] hackermail:
I am using Rod's script that you posted over the Xpart rom from your OP. it was working fine for 3 days and then last night the phone shut down due to low battery. When i turned it back on, started getting FCs all over the place.

Yes, i guess a proper term for the D2Ext. i understand that maintaining 3 variations would be difficult. may be for one release you can test it out and if its more stable than Xpart, you could replace it.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Well, this is frustrating. These scripts have been extra stable for me, but I never let the battery run down completely. I'll recheck the scripts but I am pretty sure everything is checked at startup, so no idea why there is such a massive data loss on unexpected shutdown/reboot situations.
[Nexus One Android Development] hackermail:
Xpart has always been like that for me. May be its just my SD card. I guessNo point wasting your time in checking that. However as I mentioned d2w/d2ext has been very stable for me right from the days of MIUI AU to MIUI NX. again that's just me. Am not sure how the results have been for other users.
[Nexus One Android Development] drewzee:
Did I miss something??

My default applications doesn't show up in settings.

Also, my headset wont control my music anymore..
[Nexus One Android Development] TreadFox:
Is there any way to remove the Chinese Supermarket and Appshare applications? They are worthless to me. Also, like the rom before this that i ran, whenever i try loading the clock widgets online, it shows theme previews not available. Any ideas?
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
To remove system apps like these you need an app. I see two ways of arriving at the result you want.

The first (I don't really guarantee the result) is using Titanium Backup, select the app you want to trash, and select uninstall...

The other one (this I'm sure works) is use rootexplorer or similar explorer, go to /system/app, mount the dir so that you can write, and delete the corresponding apk. Hop, no longer there!!
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
I think I know what causes some of the FC I've had:

the TrackBall Alert patch.

Everything was runing fine on my phone under 1.8.7... But this afternoon, I noticed that the ball was flashing the same colour for all notifications. I had forgotten to patch TBA!

So patch I did, and reboot. And then, I start getting some FCs... More and more FCs... And messing with everything, really.

So again, factory wipe 5x and clean install... I'm in the process of restoring apps and settings... But I won't re-patch TBA. In fact, I'll even uninstall it (and stay with my single colour notification... it's not that bad, I have to go into the phone to see what it is and make a decision about what to do, regardless of the colour. So why bother...
[Nexus One Android Development] tnicko:
Which patch did you use? I us3e the smali one, then choose the Gingerbread option. Never had any issues with TBA.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
If I understood correctly the translation of the changelog for next version, it will start including trackball alerts in different colours and for more apps, so you might not need the patch soon... :)
[Nexus One Android Development] ultra99:
Hey jb, my hands are itching to go Jack to your xpart rom. How is it lately?
[Nexus One Android Development] TreadFox:
How do I mount dir? Also, is there no fix for the clock previews?
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
He he... great news here!!!
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
That's the one...

I didn't have direct issues with it neither... It wasn't TBA that FCed etc. Yet, I've got strong correlation between the FC plague and apps that notify... And the FC appear only after I patch TBA.

Maybe It's not the real culprit, but well, I'll live without TBA and see... ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] Obsy:
Why don't you use Lighflow?
[Nexus One Android Development] drewzee:
can anybody confirm whether the default applications section was removed from settings and whether or not their stock n1 headset is still able to control their music? Thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
I've tried, twice... But I've had the distinct impression that it was sucking the battery way faster...

Maybe just an impression... But overall, did not convince me...
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Yep, I confirm on both counts... No more default apps sections, and I can control music with headset (not only the stock one, mind, I've tried with 3 different sets)
