Hi JB,

After patching 1.8.7, I noticed that after a while it will trigger FC (on a module I can't remember) when I check the "Battery use". But it will work fine again after I toggle off-on "Monitor power usage".

By the way, it's been stable and no data corruption so far.

I would recommend you stick with 2 versions while having the XPART integrated with Rod's additional script. XPART can't stand on its own without that additional script.

I've also noticed that since XPART-1.8.5 with additional Rod's script, the A2SD+ is considered 0.00B, and the whole EXT4 partition is now fully considered as Internal Memory. I must say this is very clean!:) TB also detected there's no A2SD, and likewise the whole EXT4 partition is now considered as internal memory.

Well done!:)

Regards,

Timmoty
[Nexus One Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Yes bro
[Nexus One Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Because this friday it is broken, the default app settings is still there but not active, every friday one feature or more will be added. This sometimes needs deactivating one to mke it work and release a beta rom every friday.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
It seems it is quite stable and fast for me and timmoty_g, but for hackermail gave FCs after he let the battery run out. All in all, seems a keeper if you watch your battery, and take care to shutdown before it is empty, just to make sure it won't corrupt data...
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
One suggestion next time, can you please try rebooting into Amon Ra's and checking the sd-ext there? It might fix the FCs.
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
OK, I've got a big problem here...

Last night, as always, I turned off my phone. This morning, I try to boot it... And I've gotten plenty FCs, the desktop wouldn't load. Or would load empty (don't know how to characterise that). I had done a clean wipe install and the restored using MiUI backup.

I tried to reflash 1.8.7, 1.8.5 etc. well, everything short of a complete clean install. And still, I get an empty desktop.

However, if instead of the default launcher I use ADW (I've kept it, as a memory, even if I don't use it normally), it works OK. I've tried deleting the launcher data... Nothing...

I don't know what to do to recover a working launcher... Maybe a factory wipe, restore everything save the desktops and launcher stuff???
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
First suggestion - don't turn off your phone. Put it in aeroplane mode, and disable sound, you should spend nearly the same battery as turning it off then on 8 hours later.

As for your question, yes, backup notes and screens with miui, apps and data with titanium, boot into recovery, wipe all then reflash to make sure you don't lose tb, terninal and a2gui. Restore apps+data, followed by notes and screens, and reconfigure. At least that is what I do.
[Nexus One Android Development] pseudoheld:
finally trackball alerts have been added to miui.

now the only thing missing is native 4way reboot + trackball/volume rocker skip.

my phone is in for repairs now but as soon as i get it back it'll be running miui qnd again :D
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
I do prefer turning off the phone altogether... Maybe not the best thing, but really it should be OK and help with some of the system stuff...

As for backup, I do believe now that my woes were coming from some problem in backup. Or better said, in backing up. I don't know...

There was as well a problem with multimount SD, I think, that might have prevented the writing/deleting of the MiUI backup.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Turning it on will spend a lot of battery during boot, so I always prefered airplane mode/juice defender.

And the changelog for today's release mentions fixes for backup, so you might have less problems in the future...
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Well, I tend to plug the phone during the night... and boot with it still on the cord. So the boot juice suckage doesn't really bother me... And charging with phone turned off gets you a better charged battery, I feel.

Looks more and more like a very promising release ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:
as you last night I turned off and this morning it wasn't booting! Stacked in the X screen! Since I wasn't able to wipe the dalvik-data I had to wipe everything and re flash! All this while I was going to the beach ... ! Cool! :P

A2SD Help

Sorry for the noob question and sorry if its been posted before however I had some questions on how to set up A2SD properly with this rom.

I've set up an EXT3 partition using Amon, (750mb,0 swap, those numbers were suggested by a previous post when I was using Rods MIUI)

and then I just opened up the A2SDGUI app and just let it get SU permissions and run, havent touched any settings

Titanium Backup has not recognized A2SD yet as it is not yet visible on the home page of TB, thats why I think it is not properly set up as with Rods rom it did

Thank you in advance to who may be of assistance to this issue
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Yep... Titanium should see it.

If you're not sure, use the Terminal Emulator, type "su" then enter you should then have the prompt change. Then type "a2sd check" you'll have plenty of info.

One of the first you'll see tells you whether the apps run from SD or from internal memory.

If it says they run from internal memory, that means A2SD hasn't really worked. So you need to either flash it anew, or type "a2sd repair" (ideally in a new terminal emulator session).
[Nexus One Android Development] kite07dx:
Thanks, I just ended up re-doing everything and it worked out
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Yep... That script has a known tendency not to work correctly on a number of occasions. On my last 3 or 4 clean installs of MiUI based roms, I've always had to either reinstall or "a2sd repair" it... Well, once one knows it's no biggie ;)

By the way, I've just noticed you said you were using a ext3 partition. Is there any particular reason for choosing that? I've mostly used ext2 (simple and quick) and sometimes moved to ext4 (quicker for some things, more work)... Ext3 has always looked like not really an interesting option, but my understanding of the linux partitioning systems is a bit patch, at best... ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
:(

Looks like there are still some big problems with XPART... Can you please next time try mounting sd-ext in the recovery, and then also running the "repair sd-ext" menu entry in Amon Ra?

I need to understand what is going on with shutdowns. On my N1 this doesn't seem to happen.
[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:
waiting 4 your usual awesome weekly update :)
[Nexus One Android Development] bunnahabhain:
Me 2 :)
[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:
Could you guys suggest me a way to download any files from the browser. They fail :(

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Which type of files?

If it's a "normal" download, it should work just fine. If it's from a site like filesonic rapidshare etc. the MiUI browser doesn't like that for some reason (like most android browser... ) Seems that Opera mobile is the only one able to deal with those downloads... Except that the "old" stock chrome browser could do it as well. That's why I advocate keeping it in the roms, even if for browsing purposes Miren/MiUI is better.
[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:
Thanks. I'll give it a try :) unfortunately the stock one isn't downloadable from the market.

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Just tried and DLed a file from wupload.com... It worked very well. So I guess that's the solution.

Only problem, it takes 21Mo... but even with A2SD, the option "move to SD" works (weird... but hell... )
[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:
Me too from filesonic. Opera browser after miren is a very good browser.

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Have you guys tried with Dolphin browser, with the "Desktop" user agent?

Should work as well as Opera or the old stock browser.
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
I don't know about Italy or the rest of the world, but here in France, phone companies block anything that doesn't have a mobile used agent, to avoid wifi connection sharing and the like.

You can use that nice feature but have to change your PC user agent to some mobile thing to have it work :eek:

But since you seem to be able to change user agents, how does it work (this downloding stuff) if you change the user agent on Miren browser ?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
I never tried on Miren, but on Dolphin everything I tried worked when I changed the browser agent. Didn't try rapidshare, I think.

What you say about French ISPs sucks. Even vodafone does that? Here I use a VPN only to make sure they won't bother me, but even when I forget to turn it on I can still share the connection without any problems.
[Nexus One Android Development] ocujos:
Just reporting that 1.87 A2SD runs fine here,without any issues so far. I now have 110Mb free internal flash, and before the upgrade it was 40Mb.

I backed-up settings with MIUI backup first and then used Titanium to backup apps+data.

Beside Wildmonks, what other kernel is recommended for 1.8.7?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
For A2SD I've only used Wildmonk's and the stock kernel. For XPART, only stock. Maybe other users can suggest another kernel they have tested?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
1.8.12 relased!

Attention XPART users, you will lose all your data with this update, as it changes scripts, so please backup before!

PS: for extra speed, check this guide on how to partition your sdcard if you haven't done it before. For those with windows, you can always boot a live cd to use linux to align your sdcard.

PPS: I announce the releases on G+, so if you want you can also follow me there - https://plus.google.com/114896134171117670658
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Guys, I am having problems with the kitchen generating a bad updater-script, and ignoring mine. Seems only the XPART ROM is damaged, I am trying to understand how to fix this.
[Nexus One Android Development] nealed:
Faut changer d'opérateur - chez bouygues - je peux meme faire du bluetooth tethering depuis mon PC - et naviguer avec Chrome sur mon PC à travers la connection 3G de mon N1.

Depends on the operator - with some french operators (Bouygues) - I can BT tether my PC and surf using Chrome using my N1s 3G connection.
[Nexus One Android Development] ocujos:
I don't see any updates (A2SD specific) in the change log for 1.8.12. Is it worth upgrading?
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
You'll have all the MIUI changes - and you're right, I really need to start linking to the MIUI changelog translation.

PS: XPART fixed, available again for download
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
You can usually get the MIUI changelog here. Here is the list for this week:
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Bah, je le fais aussi sans problèmes avec SFR, faut juste que je change le user agent de mon Chrome sur PC... par contre j'ai la 3G là où ma sœur avec Bouygue n'a que du Edge, voir pas de réseau ;)

Anyway, I've flashed 1.8.12 A2SD, and it seems to be working just fine... And the Led flashing 3 different colours for normal notifications, phone notifications and SMS, is really a great addition.

By the way, am I the only one with a really crawling USB transfer speed (PC to phone, that is, the other way round is way faster)? I think it's kernel related, and I'm using WM latest... It's so slow that it takes me more than 15 minutes for transferring the 83 Mo of the ROM! I'm using multimount SD and that gives me much better speeds, but it's not the most convenient thing ever...
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
No, you're not the only one. I also have the same problem... :( I don't know if it is fixed in the last stock kernels, but doesn't seem so.
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
And what cure do use? Same "Multimount SD" app as me, or something different?
[Nexus One Android Development] bunnahabhain:
The native trackball notification is awesome! Finally! TB-Wake, TB-Alert and FM-Radio on the MIUI-N1 .

I do have a bit of a problem with the smoothness though. Last time i mentioned JUWEs RAM optimisation i applied it via CWM and it was really smooth.

As soon as it got integrated by default in this ROM it wasnt as good as before...

P.S.: jbbandos - do you think the new libsqlite is a good choice? I saw some guys (and that includes Temasek) that it could be unstable and laggy for some devices) :(

You see i am searching for the ultimate speed and smoothness of the phone... :D

The most annoying thing is that lag while opening applications. Dunno how to get rid of that despite turning off animations (no solution for me)
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
XPARTS uploaded again - I messed the launcher when I generated it with a fixed updater script. Hopefully all is now working, I've tested on my N1 with a full wipe and had no problems now.

@bunnahabhain: I am using exactly the JUWE optimization, only inside a bigger script with several optimizations besides RAM. It should make no difference, but you never know. I'll look into it, to see if I can speed things up.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
A apology to everyone who tried xpart today. I royally screwed-up the XPART scripts. My only excuse is that my netbook HD has a couple bad sectors, and apparently that messed up everything on my XPART directory.

I'll upload a small zip to fix up XPART today.

Once again, I'm sorry.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
XPART fix on the first post. Unfortunately, with today's heat, my N1 started giving mmc errors again, so it seems that there is no XPART that will work reliably for me. :(

Might also be mechanical - I had taken the uSD card out to try the aligning code, so that might be the cause for the problems. I remember that before I had a working XPART, I had also taken the card out to do a full format and partitioning on my netbook, so...
[Nexus One Android Development] himmatwala:
thanks for the XPART fix. however, when i click on the download link, it downloads a file 1.8.2fix. is it just a typo?
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
I suppose so. There never was a 1.8.2 rom, so no fix neither... ;)

It's bound to be the right 1.8.12 fix!
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Yes, it's a typo. I only noticed after uploading that I had forgotten the "1" in "12". Definitively, not a good day today.
[Nexus One Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Might want to consider buying a sd card my friend.

Controller is proving great.

Im using a class 4 kingston which works with most d2sd or d2ext scripts, melethrons, ownhere, siberes and atroys and miui xjs xpart

LED notifications

I updated to 1.8.12 A2SD as usual with 5X wipes of the caches. Everything works well as expected except the led notifications. I have rebooted and clear cache and rebooted but still not led flashes :(

Is anybody else out there having this issue? I hate to do a full wipe since everything else works perfectly well.

Any pointers please.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Unfortunately I see the same with a class 4 8GB Kingston, and also with a class 2 16GB (don't know the brand, my wife is using it now).

Sometimes (very rarely) it works with XPART, like it did all last week, but if I remove and reinsert it, the phone starts warming up a lot, and then I start getting IO errors a lot, leading to a final collapse, where the phone won't unlock, or every app will FC.

The fact that it worked very stable for a whole week and failed completely after removing and reinserting makes me believe it is indeed a problem with the mechanical contacts on my N1. If only there was a way of stress testing the physical connection with the N1 open, just to see if a small jiggle corrects the problems, or maybe even deforming a bit the uSD socket to make it give a better contact...
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
You shouldn't need to wipe the caches 5 times, that amount of wipes usually is only done for a full wipe when starting with XPART.

Anyway, did you check the led settings? What happens if you change colours for one of the notifications?
[Nexus One Android Development] nealed:
Wanted to try this ROM after reading plenty - have fully wiped 5 x including wiping the SYSTEM partition with a special updater script. However, on first boot I get a black screen with a small white square "icon" (looks bigger than a standard android icon) but nothing else on the screen - and cannot do anything (apart from mounting USB storage when I plug it in). The UI is not there! I have flashed the XPART 1.8.12 version - can anyone provide help?
[Nexus One Android Development] nealed:
Sorry - Just seen the R2 and R2 fix files - am downloading them and will post back after flashing.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Sorry about that - please download the 1.8.12R2 and the fix script, and flash them on that order. Yesterday was a bad day for me, with the disk errors that corrupted my XPART directory it took me over 3 tries to finally get a working XPART ROM.

Edit: I see you found the R2, please also flash the fix immediately after. Even the fix zip ended up with the wrong name (but it is working).
[Nexus One Android Development] nealed:
Great - thank you. all working OK now - I now juts need help with one other thing. I have 4 direct dial shortcuts on my homescreen. However, with this ROM (and other recent MIUI maybe) when I go into editing mode - click menu and choose shortcut - I can no longer add a "Direct Dial" shortcut. Can anyone give me a workaround - or tell me how I can add a direct dial shortcut using this ROM? Thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
I think the only way right now is by adding a contact, there is no direct dial shortcut in this version. Hopefully it will be re-added or other user will prove me wrong. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] fcisco13:
Just started using this rom a2sd version very good job thanx, now what is xpart and what are the advantages of using it instead of a2sd? Is it faster? Thanks again awsome job.

X
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Thank you for the kind words. Xpart moves your whole "data" partition to sd-ext, while a2sd only moves the apps and dalvik cache. Xpart, for those who can get it to run stable, is a little faster and smoother, besides leaving more free space for apps and data.
[Nexus One Android Development] eidros:
The settings work fine. When I change the color setting the trackball will lite up fine :)

I was using the dark theme when I upgraded my N1 to 1.8.12 and I read somewhere in your thread that it is advisable to rreset to default theme when flashing update. So I did just that; change the theme back to the default and re flashed the update and walla the led is blinking away fine now :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Great! I'm happy it works for you as it's really a great feature of 1.8.12!! I just love it!

But I don't think that you really need to reset theme to default, flash, etc.

What I do after most flashes, to make every thing work better, is change theme to default, then re-change to my theme of choice. Solves a lot of problems.
[Nexus One Android Development] eidros:
Okay thanks, I will remember to do that for our next upgrade 1.8.19 :)

BTW, are you running a2sd or the xpart thing? With a2sd I am only getting about 70Mb ram left with about 70 apps installed. I think this in on a low side, I know JB has 80+ with more then 120 apps installed. I have tried to reinstall a2sd with terminal but it does nothing. Any ideas?
[Nexus One Android Development] fcisco13:
One more thing bro. can you select which apps go to ext and which ones stay on phone, or once u activate a2sd all apps will be moved and installed there. Thanx

X
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
All apps are moved. It is transparent, the sd-ext works as part of the internal storage, so no problems with widgets and so on, like in the froyo a2sd.
[Nexus One Android Development] Franc38:
Yep, I'm runing A2SD, and I currently have 122Mb free and 161 apps installed ;)

So yep, 70Mb free with only 70 apps, looks like A2SD is not working correctly, or that dalvik cache is in internal.

To check that, just open the terminal emulator, type "su" then enter to get to superuser mode (the symbol turns from $ to #). Then type "a2sd check" and enter, you'll have a long list of everything that happens in terms of A2SD on your system.

At some point you'll have information about where the apps are being run. If it says "internal memory", then A2SD is indeed not operating well. If it says SD, all is well, you just happen to have very very large apps ;)

In the event that there is a problem, you'd better exit terminal emulator, close it completely, then re-open it, re go "su" then type "a2sd repair", you should have a bunch of lines run on screen and the phone reboots.

However, it's fairly possible that A2SD itself is working but that the dalvik cache is still in internal memory... As this may fill up fairly fast, that might well explain how little memory you have left. (And that's indicated as well among all the text in a2sd check). To move it to SD (what I do) just run terminal emulator, "su", then "a2sd cachesd" enter. Again, some line and a reboot.

After that reboot, you'll have a large available memory ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] fcisco13:
Just received a picture message and it looks really small when i click on it, is there a setting for message pics to look normal size??

X
[Nexus One Android Development] ocujos:
You can also check if your A2SD is working correctly via A2SD GUI which is included in QND MIUI ROM. With a ton of info displayed on 3.7" screen it's so easy miss this important information. That's what happened to me: after last full wipe, I didn't realise that Dalvik was on internal flash until I opened A2SD GUI.
[Nexus One Android Development] timmoty_g:
Hi JB,

I've moved on to 1.8.12, taking no risk, I did a full wipe, and so far so good.

I actually wonder where are cache and Dalvik Cache being stored in XPART?

Are they stored in EXT4 partition too? Or still in the phone memory?

Thanks a lot anyway for the great job done.

Best regards,

Timmoty
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Hi Timmoty, everything that would be in the "data" partition is in the ext partition.

I'm glad it works for you, I am back on A2SD.
[Nexus One Android Development] timmoty_g:
Hi JB,

I think you should consider buying new SDCARD, try SANDISK, it's not the fastest, but so far it has been very reliable for me.

I am using 16GB class 4.

Regards,

Timmoty
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
I'll think about it - unfortunately I can't afford it right now. But I think it might be the N1, I have this problem also with a Kingston 8GB card, and I was able to have XPART working well for one week until I removed and reinserted the card.
[Nexus One Android Development] pseudoheld:
could well be the N1. as you know i had similar problems with the sd card controller. i tried 4 different cards all in all and i still had problems. sent my nexus in and the shop sent it straight to HTC.

will report back as soon as i hear from them.
[Nexus One Android Development] Quantumstate:
Why can't we set the clock to 24 hour?

Why does the phone shut off the N1 after a call, instantly. Give me a minute or two...
[Nexus One Android Development] Obsy:
In Settings/System/Date&Time you have to check "Use 24-hour format"
